chapter six‼

The next morning I went to find kenma.
"Hey."
"Hey.."
"I'm sorry about last night. But i- I love him. I can't leave him."
"... It's fine. I get it. Well I don't. But if you're sure that you're happy."

I walked kenma to his bus stop, and as the bus came into sight he turned to me.
"If you ever need to get away, or just take a break. You know where I am."
I smiled at him, "thank you. I'll text you."
He gave me one last uncertain look as he stepped onto the bus, but turned away determinedly.

It's been a few weeks since I saw kenma, and the team's attitude has changed dramatically towards me.
They treat me like I'm delicate and exchange annoying glances when I'm with kageyama.

"Hinata." Suga called to me during a cleanup if practice one day.

"Hai senpai?"
"Have you been eating properly?"
"Yeah! Why?"
"You've lost a lot of weight.. Worryingly fast... "

"Huh?" I look down at my body, sure I've lost some weight, but I've always been smaller than average.

"You're skin and bones! It's affecting your volleyball too! You've slowed down considerably and your jumps are barely impressive. If something has happened..."

"No no! I'm fine! My appetite has just gone down, I'll eat more! Please don't kick me from volleyball!"

He gave me a surprised stare, "of course I won't! I'm just checking you're okay! We're all worried."

"Well there's nothing to worry about! I'm fine! Thank you senpai!" I turned and sped walk past him towards my next lesson.

As I got to the door, I smiled at the sight of kageyama waiting for me,  I went into his arms and he kissed my forehead.

"Hey you look great."
I peeked up at him with a goofy smile, "are you sure? Suga was saying I've lost too much weight."

He held me at arm length to take a look before saying, "maybe a little but that's good, you always ate too much anyways."

My smile fell as I looked at my arms again, "oh.. Sorry, I'll eat less."

He pulled me back into his embrace, "you know I just want what's best for you."

I returned his hug and gave him a squeeze, "I know, thank you, I love you."

He kisses my hair in response and we went into class with our fingers intertwined.
