False confidence

Chapter 9

Sorry for being gone for so long, but anyways, I will most likely having slow updates from now on. I hope you enjoy and sorry once again for the extended break. <:)

Hinata stood outside the nekoma gym, a clutched hands at his side as the other holds a small burner phone.

1 missed call - caller id **********

After staring at the unforgettable digits coding the screen hinata rang the number. His eyes were narrowed as he glared at the reviving memories.

Seconds passed as the orange haired boy grew impatient. As soon as it reached the third ring, shoyo hung up, clicking his tongue before shifting his glare over to the outdated phone.

It took hinata some time to calm down before he was able to head back into karasuno's room.

"Oh? Is the shrimp finally finished his nagging?"

"Hmph!" Hinata just turned his face away from the snobby tsukishima and puffed his checks as he walked away, not bothering to answer the others question.

Hinata was now in front of daichi and suga, who were both sitting next to each other, going over game plans as they had finished their assignments. Seated further away from the others, the others wouldn't be able to hear the conversation from here.

"Suga-sempai, daichi-sempai..."

The two in name raised an eyebrow at the kid in front of them.

"Hmm? What is it that you want?"

Daichi said, closing his laptop and turning his attention to hinata, suga doing the same. Though the latter softly hit the other for wording his sentence so rudely.

"Ow!"

"Ehem- what he meant was, is there something that you need my favourite child?"

The last words made two idiots gasp in the background, though the action was ignored.

"W-what do you mean??"

Hinata gave a nervous laugh as he avoided eye contact suspiciously. The two third years in front of hinata just gave a 'are you serious' face.

"Whenever you want something you use that same pleading voice as well as add sempai honourifics"

Daichi's answer was said flatly, making hinata sigh.

"Umm, welllllll, it's just that..."

The two captains patiently waited, Suva giving a soft encouraging smile to help Hinayana confess or ask something.

With one more sigh, Hinata finally speaks out his worries.

"I need to head out for a bit. I promise it will only be a day or two. It's just that something personal came up...sorry"

Hinata looked down at the ground, sorrow  and guilt being displayed.

Suga and daichi only looked at each other before both smiling reassuringly, patting the young ones fluffy hair.

"It's fine Hinata, there isn't much you can do if something important arises. Just be careful on your way back, okay?"

A bright wide smile was given as Hinata cheered up.

"Hai!"

Hinata began to quickly gather his stuff. But as he did so the others on his team gave him questioning glances,

Daichi stood from his previous position and clapped his hand to get the others attention.

"Okay everyone, Hinata won't be here for a couple of days, so make sure you give him your goodbyes"

"HUHH???!!"

The room became a ruckus as everyone started questioning daich and Hinata. By this time Hinata's bag was finally packed and he stood up.

"I'm going back to miyagi because of personal issues, but I won't be gone for too long"

Shoyo chuckled as some pouted and other clicked their tongue.

"Well, I'll be off now, see you"

Hinata smiled to his teammates, but unlike usual they could tell he was bothered by something. He wasn't as happy as usually was before.

'Just what are you hiding, Hinata Shoyo?'
