haikyuu! oneshot

shōyō.h

her mind was polluted with dark thoughts, haunting her even at nights. when she closed her eyes, everything around her went shut down. she tried to mute the voices in her ears. telling her to hang herself. that she was no worth.

one moment, hinata noticed his best friend pale face, her lost interest in going to his practice also her weight loss. the school's skirt hang loosely around her waist as her collar bones become more prominent to eyes.

"y/n-chan, are you okay?" he asked. his voice faltered, knowing full well that she isn't. but her fake smile greeted him, as if everything was normal she said "i'm fine shōyō-kun."

hinata pained to see his best friend or someone he loves lied to him. he knew she was struggling with her depression. but, he doesn't know how to help. he knew those weren't just a temporary feelings. albeit, an illness

so, he decided to shrug his worries off and continue making his friend happy. he joked with her, trying his best to make her laugh. he pulled off stunts to make her smile. she does so.

but all of it seem like a counterfeit just to satisfy his desire.

"y/n-chan, i know.." he trailed on the way of their walk after his practice. the confession got her off guard. her eyes widened but immediately averted them to the cold road. "i know what you've been fighting against"

her tears welled as soft sobs escaped her lips. she can't say anything, she knew she will ended up crying in front of him and she hates it.

"i-i-" she struggled. her shoulders shaking. "i miss my mom.." she cried. hinata stopped on his track as she took her fragile body in his arms. his predicted was correct all along.

it was because of her mother's sudden death due to heart failure. how he knew her closeness to her mother.

"i'm here y/n-chan, i'm here" he comforted. the light evening breeze brushes over them. taking his warmth away. "your mom wouldn't want to see you cry y/n-chan" he again rub his palm over her small back.

"please smile for her,"

y/n look upwards to see hinata's worried eyes. the orange sky illuminated his eyes as it gets glossy. her heart broke. how can't she not realized that there are others who loves her.

hinata wipe her tears with his thumb, caressing her cheeks softly. "please smile for me," he plead, his voice quivered. "it saddens me to see you cry y/n-chan."

upon hearing her soothing voice, she smiles to him. this time genuinely. "i like you shōyō-kun," she said.

her heart beats fast than usual. her arms went to pull him into a hug once again, catching hinata off guard. he was shocked hearing her sudden confession. "you don't have to ans-"

"i like you too y/n-chan! so so much!" he exclaimed. eyes looking determined more than ever. his sudden reply makes her giggle, seeing how cute hinata is. "y/n-chan, please be my girlfriend," he fluted.

y/n can see his cheeks reddened. a small smile etched on her lips. she realized that getting sad and depress gets her nowhere and she should move on. although the process was not simple but she knew with hinata, she can do it.

"i will make you hap--" his words stopped as she land her lips on top of his. "i will shōyō, gladly." hinata was beyond happy that day. especially when he pulls her into another sweet kiss. he was addicted to her soft lips on top of his. it feels like they belong to his.

"i will cherish you, treasure you like my volleyball but even more than that!" he happily shouted at the empty neighbourhood. y/n had her cheeks on fire when he said that but chuckle right after.

she found her happiness. right in front of her.
