Chapter Text
The rest of the school day was a disaster. Shouyou couldn't concentrate at all and his stomach ached. His heart ached.
Looking around at the familiar sights; his classrooms, teachers and these kids that he had known pretty much his whole life.
Knowing that he had to leave it all behind made him feel numb.
He glanced over at Kageyama on the other side of the classroom. The taller boy looked utterly confused while he struggled with his math. Hinata smiled fondly. He couldn't even count how many times he had seen his friend put on that exact face when they studied together. Then his smile fell.
He closed his eyes and swallowed hard. Hinata really hoped that he would get at least one more study night with Kageyama. He had never known really how much he loved those times, until he was about to lose them.
The bell rang and Hinata jumped from the sudden noice. Everyone in the room started to flood out and he didn't even notice Kageyama sneaking to his desk until he setter spoke up:
"Are you coming or are you planning on staying here with Ms. Kirigaya?"
Hinata grimaced.
"With that mad lady? Heck no, even having to spend time with you is better than staying here. The way she looked at me today? I'm pretty sure I would get killed."
Kageyama flashed a smile and they started to walk out of the classroom.
"Are you okay?"
Hinata looked up.
"Yeah of course, why are you asking? You worry to much bakeyama!"
Kageyama looked away, too well noticing that his small spiker was slowly losing his shine. He felt helpless.
Hinata grabbed the handles of his bike. He looked up at the sky, taking in the colors. It was afternoon and they had just finished school. It was a bit chilly and the sun was starting to go down. The sun shone in bright orange and in the sky was a beautiful mix of colors. Hinata closed his eyes for a moment and breathed in the late autumn air. It was so beautiful here. The leaves on the trees, a mix of autumn colors, most of them had already fallen down, while some looked like they would fly away if you just blew a light breath at them.
This were the times that he loved the most. He loved to feel as the winter slowly creeped in, leaving the landscape in a beautiful, white wonderland. He loved playing volleyball and goofing around with his team.
He didn't want to leave. He would never want to leave. He wanted to stay here forever.
He opens his eyes.
A tiny prick of white fell from the sky, landing on his hand. It melted just as fast as it came.
A sudden feeling of warmth spread through Shouyou's body, despite the chilly weather.
