[CHAPTER FOUR] - RELIEF

Hinata shook violently, "P..please don't hurt me."

"Woahhh! Hinata, don't worry! It's just me!"

Hinata slowly opened his eyes. "K...Kuroo?"

Kuroo nodded and rubbed his neck sheepishly, "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare yo—"

"Kuroo! I told you not to do that! Hinata-San, I'm so sorry. Someone just had to scare you," Kenma glared at Kuroo.

Hinata blinked before chuckling a little and standing up.

"Oh...that's alright! I'm just a bit jumpy today. Haven't really had a good day, anyway," the ginger spoke.

Kenma and Kuroo frowned.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Kenma asked, concerned.

Hinata sighed and sat down on his bed, lowering his gaze to the floor. "Well….yeah, something did happen."

He went on explaining how he was going to confess to Kageyama. He explained the letter and how excited he was. And he explained what happened and how heartbroken he is.

Kenma frowned and sat next to his friend. "I'm sorry, Hinata-San. That sounds awful."

Kuroo nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that must've been terrible."

Hinata shrugged. "If he's happy...I guess I can't say anything about it," he mumbled.

Kuroo opened his mouth to say something before his phone buzzed. He looked down at it before sighing.

"I've got to get home, my mom needs me. I wish I could stay longer. I'll check in on you sometime later, Hinata," the captain smiled.

Hinata nodded and gave a small smile as well, "Alright. Thank you, Kuroo."

Kuroo stepped out of the bedroom and could be heard leaving a few seconds later.

Kenma glanced over at his orange haired friend and took a deep breath.

"Hey, Hinata-San? How about we go walk around the park? It would help take your mind off things for a bit," he questioned.

Hinata pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright, let's go."

The two males rose and placed their shoes back on downstairs. They walked a few blocks down to the park, taking a small stroll around the perimeter before taking a seat on a bench nearby. The two chatted and joked around. Kenma's laughter died down as he looked at Hinata's smiling face. He smiled, his face becoming a peach color.

It's now or never, Kenma, he thought to himself.

He lifted his hand hesitantly and placed it over Hinata's on the bench. Hinata's eyes shot open in confusion, glancing down at their hands.

"Uhm...Kenma—"

"Hinata," Kenma cut him off, "I feel so sorry for what happened...and..I want to help. If you ever feel lonely...just talk to me...we can be lonely together, because...I care about you, Hinata-San and...I really like you."

Hinata's mouth was agape, his widened hazel eyes staring at the other male. His face was also adorning a red hue. He was frozen for a few seconds before he blinked and grinned widely. He intertwined their fingers and squeezed Kenma's hand.

"....I….I think I really like you too, Kenma. Thank you so much."

Kenma covered his face with the back of his hand to hide his very visible blush and looked away.

"N-No problem, Hinata-San. So does that mean...we're…," Kenma trailed off.

Hinata smiled excitedly, "A couple? Only if you want to be, Kenma!"

Kenma smiled softly and nodded, squeezing Hinata's hand as well.

"I would really like that."

Unknown to the new couple, a certain raven haired setter was watching them from afar, anger rising inside him every millisecond.

"What the hell is this?"
