The sound of volleyballs repeatedly hitting the court floor echoed among the gym. The Karasuno High boys volleyball team was practicing, it had been maybe an hour or two since the school day ended. Yamaguchi and Tsukishima were chatting and serving back and forth to each other. Nothing unusual there. Tanaka was helping Nishinoya and Asahi with something. Nope, nothing strange there, either. Daichi and Sugawara were discussing the next game against Nekoma. That's not worrying either. The others were either practicing their serves or blocking. If all of that was normal...then what wasn't. Perhaps it was Hinata's lack of attention today. Yeah...that was it. Usually he was very quick, his reflexes being better than most, but today, he was messing up a lot more.
"Hey, Hinata Boke, what's wrong with you?" Kageyama asked, more like yelled, Hinata.
"H-huh? Oh! Sorry, Kageyama. I'm just....really...distracted is all," Hinata answered, a pale peach color appearing over his cheeks and nose.
"Tch...whatever," Kageyama responded, tossing the ball to Hinata," just focus, idiot!"
Hinata nodded quickly and served the ball to Kageyama who received it nicely.

Practice ended about an hour and 45 minutes later. Coach Ukai and Daichi rolled up the nets and put them away. Suga put the balls away in the storage closet and grabbed his bag.
"Hey, Hinata! Were you okay today? You didn't seem as alert as normal," Suga questioned Hinata.
Said ginger turned towards the 3rd year male. "Oh..uh..yeah, I was just lost in thought I guess...heh," he stuttered out, smiling nervously.
"Hm..well..alright. Just let me know if you need anything," the grey haired male said with a smile.
Sugawara walked off with Daichi and Asahi. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had walked off as well. Hinata, Kageyama, Tanaka, and Nishinoya decided to walk together. Ennoshita had told them to go ahead and leave. Him, Narita, and Kinoshita were staying behind to talk with Coach Ukai.
As Hinata walked with the other three, he couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Kageyama.
How does he not see what he's doing to me...
Hinata sighed and looked up at the orange and blue sky. He had to tell Kageyama how he felt. He couldn't keep these feelings bottled up like this. It was chewing him up like he was a dog toy. He looked back over at Kageyama, who was swiping his thumb across his phone screen, and smiled. He ran a hand through his bright orange hair and watched the grey eyed boy. Kageyama's lips curled into a small smile and Hinata's brows furrowed together. He was about to ask what Kageyama was doing, but he realized his house was up ahead. Hinata sighed and kept walking silently. Once he made it to his doorstep,he waved to the other three.
"Bye guys! See you tomorrow!" He exclaimed, receiving mixed responses from the three.
Hinata smiled and walked into his house, placing his shoes beside the door, and greeted his mother who was making him some cookies. He jumped excitedly while his mom pulled the tray of cookies out of the oven.
"Gimme! Gimme!" Hinata exclaimed, jumping up and down.
His mother laughed and shook her head, "Shoyo, they're still hot. Just be patient."
Hinata started to whine before his younger sister, Natsu,ran down the stairs and hugged him.
"Shoyo!" She screamed happily.
Hinata smiled and ruffled her hair, "Hey, Natsu."
Natsu climbed onto one of the chairs in the kitchen."Shoyo!Guess what happened today! We were at recess and there was a puppy and-"
"Natsu," Mrs. Hinata cut her daughter off, "how about you let Shoyo go do his homework, then you can tell him all about your day while you two eat cookies?"
Natsu pouted a bit but nodded nonetheless. "Fiiiiineee," she whined, dragging herself to the living room to watch the television.
Hinata grabbed his bags and walked to his room. He threw his bags down on the floor beside his desk. He sat down at his desk and started on his homework.
One Hour Later
Hinata sighed and sat his pencil down. He placed his finished work in his folder and back in his bag. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. His only thoughts were about one person. He had to tell him. It's now or never. If he didn't do it now, he'd chicken out every other time. He thought for a moment before grabbing a piece of lined paper and a red pen. He wrote his confession, his hand writing very messy, and folded it in half and put in an envelope. He went to Natsu's room and got one of her packs of stickers. He plucked a red heart off the sticker sheet and sealed the envelope with it and went back to his room. He stared at the envelope in his hands and took a deep breath. He placed it on his desk and ran his fingers through his hair once again. He changed into some pajamas right when Natsu yelled for him to come downstairs. Hinata took one last look at the envelope and turned around, running downstairs to join his sister and mother.
