Checkmate

I'm really bored

Hey wassup. I'm dying inside.

Hinata's POV

I woke up shivering. It was really cold. I should've brought a jacket. I mean, it was Autumn so the air did get a little colder. I looked around. Sitting in front of me were Sugawara and Daichi, still passed out. I reached over to them and lightly tapped them on the shoulder. The stirred. Sugawara was the first to wake. He rubbed his eyes.

"Where are we?" he murmured.

"I dunno" I whispered back. Daichi groaned. "What the heck happened?" he asked.

"I'm not sure, I-"

"So all 3 of you are awake," a voice said. I turned around. There standing behind us was Oikawa.

"Eh? Oikawa? What are you doing here? Why are we in this room? Can you get us out?" I asked. Sugawara nudged me on the shoulder. "What?" I asked, confused. As he opened his mouth to say something, Oikawa immediately interrupted him.

"Aren't you so innocent and cute, huh? Let me introduce myself again, I'm Toru Oikawa, King of Aoba Johsai" he said as a smile crept up his face. "I knew it" Daichi muttered.

"Huh? You knew it?" I asked.

"The mysterious King of Aoba Johsai, known to have a pretty face and girls swooning all over. I knew it was suspicious that someone with the likes of you would be working at a meat bun stall" he said.

"Aww, are you complimenting my looks? That's so nice of you!" Oikawa said.

"As if," Daichi whispered.

"Bu Oikawa san, why are you keeping us here?" I asked.

"Still adorably clueless aren't you? Let's just say I have a little... history with Kageyama. But now with you, as the hostage, Kageyama has no other choice than to do what I say. Unless of course, Kageyama values his pride more than you, his little lover" Oikawa smirked.

"But I only need you here. The other 2 were just there at the wrong place and the wrong time. But I guess this works out. If any of you try to run away, you'll have to leave the others behind." he said.

"How do you know we won't all be able to sneak out?" I asked.

He smirked. "Trust me, you won't. And even if one of you manages to get out, or someone more important than them like you," he pointed at me "you wouldn't be able to live with the guilt, right? Although I have no use for them, I could torture them in the dungeons. Hearing them scream and plead for death would be amusing, wouldn't it? The kind-hearted, queen to be of Karasuno, who would put their life on the line for just a servant wouldn't be able to live with knowing he abandoned his comrades, would he?"

Sugawara snarled and Daichi just glared. I was trembling. I shouldn't have trusted him. I shouldn't have gone out. I should have stayed inside with Kageyama. I should've just listened to him. Outside the castle was really dangerous. Now Kageyama had to do whatever Oikawa wanted. Just because of me. Maybe it was better if he did value his pride more than his life. Maybe-

"Don't feel too guilty" Oikawa interrupted. I looked up. For a moment, his dark eyes softened a bit before turning ice-cold again. "It's not your fault Kageyama fell in love with you. Maybe I would too on different circumstances," he said. I scooted back a little. Oikawa noticed it and smiled.

"Aww, c'mon, I'm not going to do anything to you! At least, not yet. But if Kageyama doesn't obey what I say, then it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun with you, right? Kageyama does have a pretty good taste after all," he licked his lips. I shuddered. It was like a tiger and a rabbit. He was the tiger. I was the rabbit. One wrong move and I was dead meat. 

"But in the meantime, I've got some blackmailing to attend to! See you guys later!" Oikawa said and beamed as if nothing happened. 

"What do we do now?" I asked.

Daichi sighed and rubbed his head. "I'm out of ideas. Let's just wait and see what happens.". Sugawara nodded and I leaned in closer to them, savoring the warmth of their body heat.

Kageyama's POV

It was morning. It seems as if Hinata and the others haven't come back yet. At this point, I was getting worried. And grumpy. Did Hinata run away from me? Did I do something wrong? What if he hates me for something I don't know? As I was getting lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on my door.

"What is it? If it's not important, then fuck off," I snapped. The door slowly opened and standing there was one of the palace guards, holding a letter in his hands.

He bowed. "I'm sorry sir. This is a letter from the King of Aoba Johsai. His personal attendant came in person to send it, telling me to give it to you right away".

So this was a letter from Oikawa? What was this about? I opened the letter. 

Kageyama,

Guess what I have in the palm of my hands? It's your little queen, Hinata Shoyo along with his attendants. He does seem quite pretty doesn't he? Better be here quick unless you want me to do something to him. You wouldn't want that, would you? To see his pretty little face covered in blood? Then you better hurry! The clock's ticking.

Toru Oikawa

I growled. How dare he mess with me?! I'll show him!

"Grab the nearest horse!" I ordered. I needed to get to Aoba Johsai. And fast. As the servants scrambled, trying to get the horses prepared, I was watching over them. Although my exterior looked cool and collected, inside, I was panicking. Why would Oikawa kidnap Hinata for no reason? Was it because of our past differences? Does he still hold that grudge from years ago? I thought we worked that out! What the heck?!

"Umm, sir? The horses is ready". I nodded, jumped on to it, and headed off.

"Sir?! What are you doing?" the guard asked, running after me.

"I'm going alone," I said.

"But it's too dan-"

"And that's final." I glared at him, challenging him to defy me. At last, he sighed and bowed.

"As you wish sir".

And so, once again, I headed towards Aoba Johsai.

Oikawa's POV

I stared out the window. Hopefully, Tobio will come. But if he didn't, that was fine too. After all, I already found a new toy. And he was already much more fun to play with.

"Sir! The king of Karasuno has reached the front gate! He is asking for your presence," the guard burst into my office.

"I know, I've been expecting him," I said and got up. 

It was time to play, little king of Karasuno.

Ok, wth. I was reading through this chapter and just realized how weird Oikawa sounds. Whatever.
