Finding the captain crying in a corner of his room like this, it upset everyone.
They didn't even know he had the emotions to remote tears, he always seemed so in control of everything so what could have happened that he had lost all sense of dignity?
After Furuhashi's attempt at calming him, Seto stepped forward to maybe, just maybe, console the elder.
Makoto sniffled and hid away further into the abrupt stop of the room.
But Seto got down on his knees, making his level equal. Being a generally small person, they knew that Hanamiya hated being looked down on.
" What's wrong?" Kentarou asked in a normal tone as he knew Hanamiya dtrongly disliked being babyed. Putting a big hand on his shoulder, Seto squeezes it lightly to show the support he managed to give for the other.
They might not believe it, but Hanamiya was a good friend, he did listen and he did care, so why not show it back.
Makoto sniffled lightly and tried to pry himself away from the bigger male, his pushes however where weak and didn't really move Kentarou anywhere.
Hara stepped forward, " Come on Mako-chan. You gotta tell us if you're not well. "
He sat down next to Seto.
Soon enough, Makoto had his team mates all bundled against him. Showing their support in different ways.
Seto, who was the biggest of them, had him completely engulfed in his embrace and tried soothing him with creating a warm environment. Hara and Furuhashi had gotten one of the cats in the household for Hanamiya to cuddle and use as a blanket of support.
And Yamazaki was just akwardly petting on his arm.
After a while, Hanamiya started laughing through the tears.
" You guys...you are such dorks. " he chuckled and wiped the tears.
And of course Hara gave a smile and chirped "naturally~".
" I'm okay, really." he nodded at his team.
Receiving "the look"s from his teammates he knew they didn't buy it.
"Now, what's really wrong Hana-chan?"
"….Okay, okay. …It's just…really really stupid…"
He sniffled.
"…So, what happened is that—"
