Haikyuu Book of Oneshots

A Second too Late

"Ah-" Hinata froze, a nervous smile on his face as he looked away at a tree sheepishly.

"Idiot what is it?"

"I need to go to the bathroom.."

The whole team groaned, stopping from loading their luggage to glance at Hinata.

"Just be quick," Daichi rubbed at his eyes, irritated as he let out an exhausted sigh.

"I'll go with him," Suga gave him a pat on the shoulder, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

Knowing Hinata he'd be gone for a solid thirty minutes just because he'd get lost finding the place.

"I don't need an escort!" Shouyou pouted as he frowned, Tsukishima's snickering in the background as he heard a quiet, 'Really? I thought all kindergarteners need someone to hold their hand in the restroom.'

"Fine!" Daichi interrupted Hinata's pathetic attempt at getting back at Tsukki as he let out another irritated sigh.

"But if you aren't back in five minutes I'm sending Kageyama to go find you."

"Eh!?" Both Kageyama and Hinata let out a noise of confusion.

"Wait why me!?"

"Yeah why him!"

"Because-" Daichi turned on them, a smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes as he approached the two menacingly.

"-Kageyama won't hesitate to drag you back here even if your pants are down."

He put a hand on his shoulder, the smile dropping as his aura seemed so terrifying that Hinata nearly let out a shriek from how ghost-like he was, "Now, go, and don't. Take. Forever." He stressed, suddenly letting go- That scary look vanishing as he smiled a genuine pleasant smile.

"R-" Hinata bit his tongue, ignoring Kageyama's smirk as his face flushed in embarrassment, "Right!"

With that Hinata ran towards the building they'd just played at, humming as he rushed past dozens of fans.

"You think he's going to be alright?" Suga asked turning to Daichi with a worried look on his face.

Their captain paused for a second as he put another backpack into the bus's storage, "Yeah I think so, he gets into trouble every now and then but it's never been bad."

"What if it is?"

"Then we'll be there of course!" Tanaka and Nishinoya both grinned with a loud laugh and a dramatic thumbs up as they beamed.

"There's no way we'd let our precious kouhai get hurt!" Noya huffed as he jumped on Tanaka's shoulders.

"Yeah!- Ack Noya get off!- I mean if someone does try hurting him they'd have me to answer for!" Tanaka grinned evilly as he cracked his knuckles.

Daichi relaxed, giving a thin smile as he shook his head, "Right, well you two better behave or else Suga here-"

He didn't even have to finish his threat as the two both froze, looking at Suga warily, their vice-captain's innocent smile looking all the more threatening.
