"Okay, yawn, does everyone have their stuff?" Takeda said tiredly. Everyone nodded, also tiredly. "Great, then let's board the bus." After the luggage was packed at the back of the bus, everyone began taking their seats. 

Hinata struggled to lift his onto the bus though. Tsukishima laughed, helping him with ease. "Are you that weak?" Hinata glared at him though there wasn't much malice behind it. "Grr..." Hinata growled, making Tsukki laugh harder. "What are you, a dog?"

 Hinata's glare sharpened. "You wanna fight, Tsukki!?" Hinata mocked. No one could really tell, but Tsukishima's eyes widened by a small fraction. His heart fluttered at the stupid nickname Yamaguchi had given him coming from Hinata's mouth.

"Hurry it up, you guys!" Coach Ukai yelled from the bus. They boarded on, noticing that only a few seats were left. Hinata sat beside Kageyama before Tsukishima could say anything, so he sat beside Yamaguchi.

By the time they arrived at the motel they would be staying in, everyone was awake and ready to start the day. "Yay! We're here!" Hinata shot up, though sat back down once he was hit in the head by an elbow. "Oh my God, Hinata, are you okay? I'm so sorry!" Asahi apologized.

 "It's okay, Asahi-San, I should've been more careful." The tangerine smiled wobbly, still holding onto his head. As everyone exited off the bus to get their luggage, they were met with the other teams and were distracted. Hinata dropped his stuff off into his room, looking at the other two beds in the room with luggage on them.

 He couldn't tell who exactly was bunking with him by the luggage alone, but the gym bags were the colors of Aoba Johsai and Inarizaki. The tangerine gripped onto his head as it throbbed in pain, and his eyes watered. Hinata curled his legs up to his chest as he sat on the bed beside his luggage.

Just then, the door to the room opened, revealing none other than the Miya twins. One of which was laughing as the other just looked annoyed. They both stopped what they were doing when they caught sight of the tangerine. 

"Oh, you guys are my roommates?" Hinata asked, attempting to hide his face and pain. They walked over to him and Atsumu sat on the bed beside him, gently pulling Hinata's face up. Hinata's eyes widened as a tear slid from his eye. 

Atsumu glanced at Osamu, who was simply staring at the small male. "What happened?" Osamu finally asked. Hinata turned his face downward, playing with the sheets while holding his head with one hand. "I, um, got elbowed on the head... haha..." 

Hinata smiled at them nervously. "...Samu, can we keep him?" Atsumu asked, not removing his eyes from the shorter male. "...Only if he can fit in our luggage on the way back home," Osamu answered. Hinata's eyes widened. 

"H-Hey, you can't take me! My family would worry- Ow!" The tangerine gripped his head in pain, making the twins worry. "Atsumu, you packed some pain killers, didn't you? Give him some," Atsumu nodded, going over to their bed and rummaging through the bags. 

"W-Wait, are you guys sharing a bed?" Hinata questioned. Osamu squatted down to Hinata's level. "Yeah, the coach thinks just because we're twins, we have to do everything together. I guess that includes sleeping." Osamu sighed, making Hinata giggle.

"Here," Atsumu said, handing two pills and a bottle of water to Hinata. Said male thanked them and swallowed the pills. "These are used specifically for sports purposes, so they shouldn't make you drowsy or anything," Osamu said, using his jacket sleeve to wipe Hinata's teary eyes. 

"Thank you..." Hinata said, beaming at the twins. They both blushed a bit, fidgeting with their fingers or jacket. "It's nothing big. No need to thank us," Osamu muttered. "That's right! After we unpack we're supposed to meet with everyone downstairs!" 

Hinata stood up, carefully making his way to the other side of the bed. The twins also stood up and began to unpack their things. Suddenly, the door flew open, making a loud bam resonate around the room. Kyōtani stood there, glancing at everyone in the room. 

His eyes landed on Hinata, then widened. He walked over to Hinata, who froze under Kyōtani's natural glare. "Who are you?" the scary male asked. The tangerine began shaking, and his instincts kicked in. 

In a matter of seconds, Hinata jumped over two beds and behind the twins, who stood there in shock. Kyōtani was also shocked. Hinata poked his head in between the twins, a hand holding each of their jackets. "I-If you wanna fight, t-then I'll-"

 Before Hinata could finish, Kyōtani turned around with a look that could kill. Even the twins flinched a little. "-hide behind here!" Hinata finished, burying his face in Atsumu's back. "Hey, If you have a problem with Hinata, then you have a problem with us!" Atsumu said to Kyōtani. 

Said male looked... confused? "I wasn't trying to hurt him, Jackasses," Kyōtani said, shoving a hand into his pocket. Hinata peaked out once again to take a closer look at Kyōtani's face. "Oh!" Hinata pointed at Kyōtani. 

"You're that guy from Aoba Johsai! Um... Mad Dog, right?" The tangerine turned his head to the side, still not letting go of Atsmu's jacket. Kyōtani's face twisted into an unreadable one. A sigh escaped his lips. "You can stop hiding. I'm not going to do anything..." Kyōtani said as he began unpacking his stuff.

Hinata didn't look fully convinced. "Hey, we won't let him do anything to you, so don't be scared," Osamu said, making Hinata grin brightly. "Ahaha, thank you!" Hinata walked out from behind them and slowly approached Kyōtani. 

"Um, m-my name's Shouyou Hinata." The tangerine played with his fingers, glancing back at the twins to make sure they were still there. Kyōtani's heart bounced. A small smile made its way to his lips. He held his hand out, ignoring how Hinata flinched. 

"I'm Kentarō Kyōtani, you can just call me Kyōtani though." Hinata slowly took his hand, noting how rough it was. His face lit up. "Are you a spiker!?" Hinata exclaimed, his fear from before now dissipated. Kyōtani was taken aback by the sudden change in mood. 

"Uh, yeah. I'm a wing spiker." Hinata beamed. "Really!?" Hinata and Kyōtani talked a little more before heading downstairs with the twins for the meeting.
