Me and Shouyou met up before school and walked together. He wore a scarf and when we would get to school I would help cover up the marks that still lingered on his neck. His skin was looking better today than it had been in the past few days and I think it has to do with all of the food I had him eat this weekend. I had been bringing a lunch for him every day as well and he said he liked to eat that better than his mother's bento.
Today I was going to go over to Shouyou's house for the first time. And I would meet his mother and younger sister. I didn't know if we would tell her about our relationship or if Shouyou already told her or if she found out. I didn't ask him about it because I knew he was nervous. I would keep quiet unless he or his mother said anything.
Shouyou still clung to my arm as we walked but I didn't mind. It was a comforting feeling knowing he was there and safe from harm. I noticed that the more I left him alone the more prone he became to mental breakdowns and often it lead to him hurting himself. So I made a promise to myself to be around him for as long as possible.
"Tobio?"
"Hm?" I looked over at him and our eyes met. His eyes looked brighter today. "What is it?" We held eye contact a little longer before he shook his head and looked away.
"Never mind," I shrugged and we continued walking in comfortable silence. When the school came into our field of vision Shouyou dropped hold of my arm and hugged himself.
I changed his bandages in the club room since we were the first ones there, like always now, and changed into our practice clothes. We passed Sugawara on the way down and he just smiled and winked at us. Shouyou didn't look up and still stuck close to me.
Practice was quick and uneventful and so was the first half of the school day. During lunch I changed Shouyou's bandages again before we went to our spot to eat. The cherry tree we sat under was filled with colored leaves from the fall drawing nearer and as we ate some of the leaves fell and I saw Shouyou look at them sadly.
"It's like they are being torn away from who they love and then get stomped on and destroyed by those who don't care," I put an arm around him and hugged him to me as I peppered his forehead with kisses and comforting words.
During the second half of class Shouyou got yelled at for spacing out and it took all of my control to keep from yelling at the teacher. After changing for practice we waited in the gym for the team to arrive. They all came in a group and Sugawara asked Shouyou to go and fetch the balls from the supply closet. He nodded and did so. Then Sugawara turned to me.
"Has Hinata gotten any better yet? He looks horrible," I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what to say.
"He's improving I guess," Sugawara nodded and I watched Shouyou roll the bin of balls out from the closet before he started walking back towards me, with a ball in hand.
We heard banging on the door and the whole team froze. Sugawara went to answer it when the door slid open and I felt all of my muscles tense and my jaw tighten.
"Hello Tobio-chan, Shou-chan. How are you? Did you like the present I sent you?" I tried to keep myself from lunging at him and instead looked at Shouyou. He was standing closer to Oikawa and frozen in his spot. I watched the ball fall from his hands and bounce on the floor before rolling away.
"What are you doing here? You promised to leave us alone," Oikawa shook his head and took a few steps in.
"You're right. And I kept up my end of the deal. But you didn't. That present was a warning, but it doesn't seem to have worked, did it?" His voice was laced with venom and I saw the smirk on his face. Shouyou's fingers twitched and he took half a step back in my direction. Oikawa's head snapped over to look at him and a happy smile crossed his face.
"So that means I get to play with Shou-chan! Come on over Shou-chan," he held his arms out and I watched as Shouyou shook and just stared at him. I took five steps closer.
"Leave Shouyou alone," I saw something cross Oikawa's face before he looked at me with a smirk.
"Oh, so he's Shouyou now hm? Took you long enough to figure out how it worked," I felt my owns hands twitching but not for the same reason.
"Shouyou, come on back to me. It's okay," he started to turn his head my way when Oikawa reached out and grabbed Shouyou's arm.
"No. Tobio-chan has been a very mean boy to Shou-chan and I won't let that happen any more. Come on Shou-chan," he started to pull Shouyou away but I watched him slip his hand out of Oikawa's grip.
"I'm sorry! But no," Oikawa's eyebrow twitched as Shouyou backed up a few steps before lowering his face to look at the ground.
"No?" I watched as he laughed and when I was just about to approach Shouyou I saw him lunge and I felt my heart stop in those few seconds. Oikawa held Shouyou up around the waist with one hand and used the other to hold the back of his head as he shoved his slimy tongue in Shouyou's mouth. I swear I saw red.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM!" I lunged at him with full intent of ending him right there and the next thing I knew I was being held back by someone and Oikawa was being forced out of the door. Shouyou stood there with his back to me. I struggled in the grip.
"Get off of me!" I pried my arms away from whoever held me back and I jogged forward to Shouyou as he collapsed into my arms. I brushed my hand through his hair as he clung to me and shook.
"It's okay, Shouyou. I've got you now," I glanced away from him and the rest of the team stood in front of me in an arc with concerned faces. Shouyou grew heavier and I lowered myself onto the floor with him curled up in my lap and refusing to let go or look up. I mouthed to Sugawara that they should sit down and he did, pulling two people with him and then the whole team.
"I was so scared he would take me away from you," Shouyou whispered into my chest and I continued to brush my hand through his hair. We all sat in silence and the team looked agitated. It seemed like the time to tell was now.
"Shouyou, could you look at me?" He raised his head just so I could see his eyes and I continued talking in a whisper. "You should tell the team what is going on. They are all worried about you," I saw his doubt and worry so I said "I could tell them if you want me too," and after a minute of processing he said yes in a small voice before pressing his face back in my shirt. I looked up at our worried team mates.
"Shouyou and I have something to tell you."
"What, that you're dating?" Tsukishima tried to make a joke but I glared at him hard as he laughed.
"Yes, but that is not the point," he quickly sobered up at the serious attitude and I took a deep breath.
"For the past two years," me and Shouyou tightened our hold on each other. "Shouyou has been physically, mentally, and sexually abused by Oikawa Toru," the words felt disgusting on my tongue but I let it sink in and watched their shocked faces slowly turn to anger.
"That bastard!"
"We should teach him a lesson!"
"How dare he hurt Hinata!"
"Enough!" Sugawara stood and looked at the team with a hard gaze. "Let Kageyama finish before you go and act like idiots. Understand?" A few looked like they were going to get up and hunt down Oikawa but I saw some of their faces fall into fear and I knew Sugawara was making that face that said you were in big trouble. A few nodded and he sat down. "Continue."
"I only found out recently that it was Oikawa and I made a deal with him so that he would leave Shouyou alone."
"What was the deal?" Noya spoke up and I felt a tremor run through Shouyou's body.
"I had gathered information to use against Oikawa so that I could turn it into the police. Somehow he found out and he convinced me to destroy the evidence," I swallowed my anger but someone still noticed it.
"How did he convince you? You sound upset," I closed my eyes to take a deep breath before speaking again.
"Tobio is mad because he called while he was hurting me and Tobio had to listen," we all stared at Shouyou and he turned in my lap slowly so that he could see everyone but still hold onto me. He pulled my hands around him and held them there with his own. I felt him twitching against me.
"Hinata... why didn't you tell us? How come only Kageyama knows?" I waited for silence to spread before speaking up.
"I'm the only one who knows because I found out about it myself. Shouyou just confirmed my suspicions," most of the team had calmed down a bit and just wore sad expressions. Noya and Tanaka though still looked like they could go out right now and kill Oikawa without hesitation. Sugawara spoke again.
"So what are you going to do? What did Oikawa mean that you broke the promise?" I waited to see if Shouyou would respond before going myself.
"We redocument the evidence against him but were much more careful this time. Over the last weekend Oikawa sent us a "present" to scare us off but we used it against him instead. We are planning on turning in the evidence once we finish with it."
"What was the "present"?" They all nodded with Daichi's question. Shouyou spoke up in a soft voice.
"It was a horrible video that he used to threaten me with. I thought I destroyed it but... it looks like there were more than one copy," I squeezed his hand and he leaned back into me as he squeezed back.
"Well is there anything we could do?" I thought about it for a moment when the perfect idea came to mind.
"At the hearing for Oikawa's crime, all of you can testify for Shouyou," there were murmurs of agreement and I felt Shouyou move in my arms. I wanted to hug him tighter and reassure him but those angry and upset eyes watched our every move. It felt horrible for them to stare at us like that but I knew this would happen at some point. I felt Shouyou's hair tickle my chin.
"Can we go home now Tobio?" They all watched us closely but I didn't care.
"Of course Shouyou," we stood up and he didn't seem to care about the team watching us as he wrapped his arms around mine and we walked side by side. I no longer needed to stand guard at the club door as we changed and Noya and Tanaka were the first ones to come in after us and they both stared for a moment at all of Shouyou's bandages. When they saw me looking at them they turned away and barely even glanced at Shouyou after that.
"Ready to go?" He nodded and grabbed my arm with his gloved hands. I looked back at the two in the club room. "Good practice today," they returned my statement hesitantly and me and Shouyou walked down the stairs quietly.
It was a long walk to his house because I didn't allow him to use his bike until he was fully healthy again. We talked little on the walk and Shouyou kept on glancing around every now and then and squeezing my arm as he did so. I looked around to. Both of us were still on edge from Oikawa's visit and I didn't want to walk home alone tonight. I think Shouyou's mother wouldn't mind if I stayed.
"Pardon the intrusion," I followed Shouyou into the house and felt myself begin to worry about accidentally slipping up. Should I call him Shouyou or Hinata? Should I act like I always do or act like I do with Shouyou? Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
"Nii-san!" A little girl ran into the genkan and jumped at Shouyou while he was still in the process of taking of his shoes. I watched him slowly peel her off of him and go back to his shoes.
"Hello Natsu," his voice was still soft like it had been and I saw sadness reflect in Natsu's eyes. She was worried about her older brother. Then she looked at me and I saw realization cross her face. She pointed at me with a familiar cheeky grin.
"Kageyama Tobio!" I quirked my eyebrows, impressed that she knew who I was and flattered to find that Shouyou talked about me at home.
"Shouyou, is your friend there with you?" A familiar women's voice rang out and I saw Shouyou's shoulders sag like weight was put on them.
"Yes," he didn't quite shout it like she did but it was a lot louder than he had been talking lately. I took off my coat and hung it up by Shouyou's and saw that he was keeping his scarf and the sweater that he stole from my closet on. I didn't mind. I thought it was quite cute to see him in my bigger sized clothes.
"Well come on in. I'm working on dinner right now, so you can wait at the table and watch TV," I waited for Shouyou to make a move before following him. He gestured for me to join him.
"This way, Tobio," okay so first name it is. I followed him with his little sister following us at his heels. She had the same bright orange hair but it was pulled into two little pigtails. I followed Shouyou to a room with a low table and a TV in the corner. I sat down next to Shouyou before his sister had a chance and she made a face at me. I smirked at her meek effort to scare me and I felt Shouyou's fingers brush against mine. We looped our pinkies together and I saw Shouyou glance my way with a sparkle in his eyes.
"So you're name is Kageyama, right?" Shouyou's mother walked in in an apron and sat down at the table across from me. Her hair was short and brown and she had the same eyes as Shouyou.
"Yes, I'm Kageyama Tobio. It's very nice to meet you," I inclined my head towards her and she smiled.
"The pleasure is all mine. So I hear you are also on the volleyball team with Shouyou. What position do you play?"
"I play setter," I felt Shouyou's fingers wrap around mine and I let his hand move into mine.
"Tobio is the one who throws the tosses that I spike. I love Tobio's tosses," his voice grew quieter as he spoke and I squeezed his hand reassuringly. I saw his mother's eyes widen and she stared at me with kind eyes. She nodded and hummed but her eyes were still on me.
"Shouyou could you go and check on the laundry for me?" I saw his eyes fall but he nodded and stood up. My hand felt cold without his. We watched him leave the room before her eyes found mine with curiosity.
"So he calls you Tobio. May I call you that as well?" I nodded.
"Sure." She smiled and it reminded me of Shouyou.
"He seems to want to spend all of his time with you, Tobio. I know he has been having a hard time lately and he never talks to me about it, or about the wounds. Is he doing okay? I worry about him," I took a deep breath and thought about how much I should say.
"Shouyou told me that he doesn't really want to talk to other people about it, but he is doing better. I would tell you more but it's not my place to say," she sighed and nodded.
"I understand," a smile soon crossed her face. "But I'm glad that he is doing better. Although I have to ask," she glanced around as her grin grew. "Are you two dating?" I couldn't help but smile myself. I thought she would find out.
"Yes. Although Shouyou said he isn't ready to tell you. Our secret?" She winked at me.
"Our secret."
"I put the wash in the dryer, mom," Shouyou walked back into the room and sat down next to me again, our hands found each other under the table. His mother smiled and stood up.
"Thank you! I'll continue with dinner! We're having pork buns and rice tonight," I knew how much Shouyou loved that comfort food and I saw a small smile on his face. If his sister weren't here I would have leaned over and kissed it, but I was fine with watching it too.
His sister seemed to share his love for studio Ghibli and she insisted that we watch My Neighbor Totoro and when Shouyou asked I said I didn't mind. I knew how much he liked the movie too. All three of us sang as Totoro's theme song began to play and I felt the need to cuddle with Shouyou. I saw him give me a pleading look for probably the same reason but neither of us moved. I knew that he wasn't ready and I wouldn't move until he did so first. I had to know that he was ready and committed to let his family know that we were dating.
Soon after the movie started, their mother came in and served us.
Throughout dinner their mother asked me questions about school and volleyball and she sometimes would try to pull Shouyou into the conversation but he would just shrug or mumble something incoherently. We sat together watching the movie while she cleaned up the dishes and Natsu kept on giving me weird looks. Although whenever I looked at her she would look away. I'm not sure if she likes me very much.
"So Tobio, do you plan to stay the night?" Shouyou looked at me weirdly when she said my name and I just smiled at him and squeezed his hand.
"I would like that very much, if you do not mind," I saw Shouyou play with the tassels at the end of his scarf and his knee pressed against mine.
"Of course. We would love to have you stay. Shouyou could you show Tobio where the bathroom is so he can wash up and then could you get out the futon?" He nodded and our hands fell from each others as we stood up. I followed him and noticed the wink his mother sent me as we exited the room. I wonder what that meant.
I washed up in the bathroom and changed into an extra set of clothes in my bag. When I got to Shouyou's room the futon was put out and he was standing there in a pair of sweatpants, my sweater and the scarf. Our eyes met and he gestured to the bed and futon before he climbed into the bed. Before I could move his mother's head popped in through the door and she turned off the light.
"Good night boys," now surrounded by darkness I warily made my way over to the bed and hopped in with Shouyou. He instantly made room as I settled in before cuddling back up against me and squeezing me tight. I knew he didn't feel safe at his own home, so I was glad to be here for him.
I slept dreamlessly and only woke up now and then to random sounds or Shouyou talking in his sleep. At one point he started talking about becoming a volleyball with me and it made me smile. His words were:
"Tobio... Let's become a volleyball together," and I wanted to laugh but that would wake him up and he was sleeping so well. We stayed cuddled up the whole night and early in the morning. Before we usually woke up, Shouyou's mother peeked in and saw us sleeping together and I saw her smile sadly. Our eyes met and she nodded to me and I nodded back. Both of us wanted to protect Shouyou and that is all that matters.
"But now I can't eat a lunch made by you, Tobio," I laughed as we walked to school together. Shouyou was all torn up about not being able to eat a lunch made by me because he had been having them every day, and they have been helping him heal. There was some color back in his pale skin and with a few good nights sleep the bags under his eyes lessened so they didn't look as bad.
"I think you can live with having a different lunch for one day," Shouyou pouted and I couldn't help but smile. Around me he seems to be doing really good but around everyone else it's like we're back at that first stage when I found him lying under the bridge.
We weren't as early today because we no longer needed to hide it, so when I was getting things out to change his bandages I didn't care that Sugawara, Noya, Asahi, and Tanaka came in. I tried not to get angry as some of them gaped and stared as I removed the bandage from Shouyou's chest. I tried to stay calm as they gasped at the angry red word carved into my beloved's chest. "Slut." It stared at me almost tauntingly and I covered it up in antibacterial healing ointment.
"Oh god," hearing Sugawara's whisper made me twitch. I knew he meant well but this was just getting ridiculous. I could feel Shouyou shaking and could almost hear the pleading from him to make it stop. I turned my head and glared at them like I had been the past week.
"It is very impolite to stare," some of them flushed in embarrassment and said sorry but they all looked away. I still felt the muscles under my hands quiver as I finished my work and could see them watching as each wound was revealed. We no longer needed to bandage his neck up because the marks had disappeared and the bite mark was nothing more but scar tissue that would forever mark Shouyou.
"Could you please stop pitying me?" I stopped a moment before continuing to re-wrap his arms. The others gave him looks and even asked what he meant and I felt him tightening his muscles and trying to look strong.
"The way you look at me is pitiful and it makes me feel angry. I hate it," I glanced at their sad faces. Noya was the first to say anything.
"I'm sorry Hinata, it's just... We're worried about you. And it's still kind of surprising that you two are dating. I mean, how did that even happen?" I wanted to say something but then something embarrassing came out of Shouyou's mouth.
"Tobio's sort of been stalking me since he first saw me a year ago," I felt my face heat up and I stopped to glare at him.
"I did not! Just because I found you interesting doesn't mean I was stalking you," Shouyou gave me a look that said I was an idiot and I tried to harden my glare.
"Tobio dear, your closet is filled with pictures of-"
"They don't need to know that!" I clamped my hands over his mouth and I could see the smile in his eyes. I heard laughter from behind me and soon I was yelling at them to shut up because they all, meaning Noya and Tanaka, started taunting me and calling me a "stalker". I even saw Shouyou smile a little as he finished changing.
Some of the others came in and the two of us left as we heard them talking about me being a stalker and I just rolled my eyes. This is going to stick with me forever isn't it. Shouyou shyly brushed his hand against mine and I took hold of his, feeling happy that he could move forward and a little out of his shell.
During practice Tsukishima kept making fun of me. Saying Shouyou was my queen. Saying that I was some closet pervert with pictures and replicas of Shouyou all over my room. And even making kissy faces whenever Shouyou wasn't looking. I really wanted to punch the guy and kick him where the sun doesn't shine but I was preoccupied with Shouyou. We were working on his receive again today and Noya was giving him tips and instructions while I served to him. I could see that he was nervous and that he kept glancing at me while biting his lip but I didn't move any closer. He needs to learn how to function without me constantly by his side.
No matter how much I would love to stick by him and guide him forever, I knew that that isn't what he needs. It might be the first step but then they need to come to terms that there are more than one person you can trust and they don't need to be babied forever. Even though in my heart I wanted to lock him away so that no one could ever hurt him again and so that it could be just the two of us and I would take care of him.
There was banging on the door and I felt the tension rise. Noya stepped in-between Shouyou and the door and I walked over to him as well. Sugawara went to the door and we all watched him slide it open, step out, and then step back in with a box. He looked over at us with a frown.
"It says it's for Hinata," I rested my hand on Shouyou's shoulder and I felt him take a breath.
"Bring it here," his gentle voice bounced around the silent room and Sugawara walked over and handed it to him. It was a simple box with a lid that was held down by a thick rubber band. Scrawled out on the top was Shouyou's name followed by a bunch of hearts.
"It's probably from Oikawa," the team slowly gathered around us and I watched Shouyou remove the rubber band. He glanced at me once before opening the box... And then dropping it on the floor and stepping away.
"No, no, no," we all peered into the box and I saw what looked like a maid costume and then I looked back at Shouyou and saw he was in full blown panic mode. I tried to figure out why but as my eyes met his everything clicked and we both said a simple, horrifying, word.
"Natsu," I ran with Shouyou at my heels out of the gym and up to the club room. I pulled my phone out and gave it to Shouyou who quickly dialed a number. I gathered our stuff and waited for the call to connect through.
"Mom? It's Shouyou... Yes I'm fine. Is Natsu with you?" I held my breath and when I saw him sigh I felt my heartbeat begin to even out. "No nothing's wrong...I love you too. Be safe, bye," he hung up the phone and leaned into me.
"I was so scared that he got Natsu," I dropped all of our things and held him.
"I was scared too. At least we know she is okay, but your mother is going to be really worried. I think you should tell-"
"Can we just hold each other for a moment?" Shouyou pleaded and I sighed into his hair before pressing my face into it.
"Yeah," and we held each other for what felt like seconds but was actually minutes. Daichi and Sugawara came up and made sure everything was okay. They didn't ask why we both freaked out or why there was a maid costume. Turns out after we left Tanaka and Noya decided to burn it and when they did they ended up getting in trouble with the student director and were given detention.
We returned to practice without them and Sugawara took up the job of giving Shouyou tips on receiving. This time everyone was on edge and whenever there was a loud noise people would tense up or guard Shouyou. I knew that he was probably anxious about this as well but just seeing him being protected helped me relax which in turn helped Shouyou relax.
"Are you sure you guys don't want us to walk home with you?" The others were worried something would happen on the walk home from practice but Shouyou shook his head.
"Tobio will keep me safe," he pulled the scarf up so it covered his mouth and I saw scarlet cover his cheeks. I found his hand and squeezed it. The team still looked concerned but they agreed to it and the two of us walked home. A little before we arrived at the cross-roads, Shouyou stopped walking, pulling me to a stop too.
"What's wrong?" I peered into his face that tilted downwards.
"You said I should tell my mom, right?" Oh. That.
"Yes. Why does it bother you? Do you not want to?" He shook his head and hesitantly met my eyes.
"No. I do... it's just that I'd rather... you should tell her. Not me," I tilted his face up towards me and held it gently, brushing my thumb over his cheek. I smiled at him sadly.
"If that's what you want, I'll do it," I leaned in and kissed him. Our hands let go of each other and I wrapped my arms around his waist as his encircled my neck. I hugged him tightly as we kissed and he hugged back. We kissed for a good minute before pulling apart and staring into each other's eyes. Shouyou's were a warm hazelnut color.
Today I was going to visit Shouyou's house and quite possibly stay over again because I knew that he would want me to stay and it would help him relax from how his mother will react. Shouyou swung our hands in between us childishly but it made me smile and I felt warm inside. He walked with a small skip in his step and it made me relax. He walked like that when he felt happy or safe and both of those were nice.
We walked and walked and walked and sooner than later we got back to his house and entered the house like we did yesterday but as we took off our shoes and jakets I heard someone coming closer.
"Shouyou? Is that you?"
"And Tobio," she appeared with a worried expression and Natsu hanging from her leg with a frown. She glanced at me and tilted her head in question.
"We have something we need to tell you," her eyebrows popped up. "And it isn't appropriate for all ears," I flicked my eyes over to Natsu and she nodded and looked down at the little red head.
"Natsu honey, how about you go play with your toys okay? Mommy has to have some adult talk, okay?" Natsu smiled and nodded happily.
"Okay!" She skipped down the hall and her mother watched her go before turning back to us.
"Let's go sit at the table. I'll make us some tea," this time I lead Shouyou to the table and as we sat down our hands locked together and I wouldn't let him go. She soon returned with a plate of tea and set it down in front of us both before sitting down as well.
"What is going on? Why did you ask about Natsu?" Shouyou squeezed my hand and our eyes met for a moment before he looked back at his mother. I took a deep breath and looked up to meet her worried gaze.
"Before we go to Natsu, we need to talk about Shouyou. It has to do with why Shouyou has been so different lately," she leaned forward and shifted in her spot while wringing her hands and motioning for me to continue. "For these past two years, someone has been hurting Shouyou," I saw her eyes widen. "They have been physically and," Shouyou looked away, "sexually abusing him," I saw her face go blank and Shouyou squeezed my hand tighter. Then she looked down and I saw her shoulders shake.
"I thought that this might have happened," she looked back up and wiped tears from her eyes. "Go on. I want to know what happened," I nodded and pressed my knee against Shouyou's before continuing.
"One way that they hurt him was by forcing him to do things that hurt him, he did this by threatening to hurt Natsu," she gasped and put a hand over her mouth. "The reason that we asked about Natsu was because he sent us a warning that was related to the threat."
"Why did he send you a warning? What happened?" I pressed down my growing anger.
"Recently we collected things to use against him and turn him over to the police but the first time that happened he hurt Shouyou and promised to stop if we destroyed the evidence. I did and then we began to re-document everything. And he first sent us a video threat but we marked it as evidence too. Then just yesterday he showed up during club practice and tried to take Shouyou away but I... I lost control and attacked him. We told the team about everything and they decided to help us with our case. And today at practice he left us a box with a costume as the second warning," she put her hand down and collected herself. I waited for her to ask a question and felt Shouyou tremble.
"Who is he?" Her voice quivered but she tried to look strong.
"His name is Oikawa Toru. He is a setter and the captain of Aoba Johsai's volleyball team," she nodded tersly.
"How... did this start?" I glanced at Shouyou, he hadn't moved at all.
"Him and Shouyou started dating but on the second date he went to far and... raped Shouyou," I hated using that word and it felt disgusting coming from my tongue. She looked hurt but still pressed on.
"Why didn't you say anything Shouyou?"
"He was threatened," she looked at Shouyou's downcasted head with worry.
"... How... did you find out, Tobio?" She still watched Shouyou but her face was pointed in my direction.
"I pieced it together myself."
"Oh..." She looked down at her lap and laughed half-heartedly. "I feel so stupid now. When did you realize this?" I felt my own voice waver.
"The first day of school," she laughed again and threw her head back, I saw the tears falling down her face.
"Ah, I'm such an idiot! You saw it the first day you met him and I didn't notice a thing. I don't deserve to protect Shouyou. Tobio, you're better off keeping him with you. I'm a horrible mother," I felt my heart twist in pain.
"No you aren't, you care about him just as much as I do. Don't talk like that," she shook her head but still didn't look at us.
"No, I'm not. I shouldn't be a-"
"Stop that," Shouyou's head stayed down but his voice was strong despite how soft it was. "I was the one who didn't want anyone to know, so it's my fault you didn't realize anything. Stop acting so pitiful, it makes me angry," she stared at him with a shocked face. I felt some shock as well. This is the most he has spoken to anyone else by his own choice in a long time. She wiped away her tears but they still came.
"Alright... I'm just so sorry Shouyou. I should have noticed. How many times did he hurt you? How many times did I leave you to his mercy?" Shouyou shrugged but didn't look up.
"It's not your fault. He's the one who came and hurt me whenever I was alone. Even when I was around you," I remembered everything he told me just then. About when he was sick and Oikawa would visit when no one else was in the room. When he was at the mall with his family and would be pulled away and hurt in the bathroom. I wanted to hold him to me because my heart hurt so much.
"Did he ever hurt you at home?" I could see the desperation on her face and I held my breath, feeling like if I answered all of my anger would pour out as well. Shouyou breathed out the response and his mother cried, she let it turn into sobs and I watched Shouyou hesitantly reach his hand out across the table and brush her hand. She took his into both of her's and I saw her squeeze it tightly before bringing it to her face and pressing it to her cheek. I sat there silently as she cried and watched Shouyou.
He was silent and barely shook but his head was still downcast. I rubbed my thumb against his han, asking if he was okay, and felt his finger tap against my knuckle. He said he was and I believed him. He was sitting up straight and projecting confidence in everything but his downturned head.
It took a while for her to calm down and when she did she reached out for my hand as well and we all sat in silence for a while, just holding each other's hands.
"When are you planning on turning him in?" I glanced at Shouyou to see him staring at me, waiting for the answer as well. I closed my eyes and took a breath.
"This Saturday. We have almost everything ready and I also want to be cautious about Oikawa because of his past two presents and his visit," she nodded and squeezed my hand.
"I can drive you to the station but I don't think I could give the police much information so I'll wait in the car for you. Does that sound alright, Shouyou? Tobio?"
"Yes."
"Hm," Shouyou nodded his head and pulled his hand away from mine to cover a yawn. His mother smiled at us sadly before standing up, leaving our hands empty.
"I'll make dinner. Why don't you two just relax, okay?" She walked away before we could say anything. Neither of us followed her because it was clear she needed some time to comprehend everything she just heard.
"Tobio?" I looked over at him and stared into his brown eyes. "I don't want to go to school anymore," my eyes widened and I took his hand up in mine, shifting my body to face him.
"What? Why, is it because of Oikawa visiting? Or is it because the team knows?" He glanced away a moment before looking back at me. I saw his eyebrow twitch.
"I'm afraid he will take me when you're not looking. You shouldn't go either, or Natsu. I don't want him to take anyone away from me," his voice cracked and wavered as he spoke but his eyes stayed locked on mine and I could see his determination and fear. He put his other hand over mine and squeezed. "I don't want to lose anyone, or you. Not now not ever. I don't want to lose you Tobio," I saw the tears forming in his eyes and I moved so that I was right in front of him and I removed a hand to wipe them away.
"Hey, it's okay. You're not going to lose me. I'll always be here for you, okay? All I want is to protect you so you can be happy, always remember that, okay?" He leaned into my hand and nodded as a small sob escaped him. He took my other hand and held it to his face as well so I cupped it in both hands. I pressed my forehead into his and closed my eyes. "Don't worry, Shouyou. We will all protect you from Oikawa," I opened my eyes and saw Shouyou's brown eyes staring back at me.
"Okay," he whispered and leaned forward closing his eyes. I closed mine too as our lips met and tongues pushed and pulled against each other. I let my hands slide from his face and find their way around his waist and I pulled him against me. Shouyou's arms wrapped around my neck and he tilted his head to the side, letting the kiss grow deeper. I felt one of his hands push past my shirt color and press in between my shoulder blades. My own hands found my way under Shouyou's shirt and ran up and down his back. I felt him shiver against me and we pulled back to catch our breath before kissing again passionately.
I leaned into Shouyou and before I knew it he fell backwards with me landing on top. I used my hands to break the fall and accidentally trapped Shouyou between me and the floor. My knees brushed against the sides of his thighs and Shouyou reached up to pull me down to him. I leaned on my elbows and let my knees slide across the floor so that my hips pressed against Shouyou's and our chests met. I didn't stop Shouyou when I felt his hands start to unbutton my uniform and then run across my chest, sending shivers down my spine.
When Shouyou bit my lip I pulled back and stared at his flushed face. I brushed a hand through his hair and he tried to pull me back down to kiss him but I didn't let him and instead started to press kisses all over his face, mumbling "I love you" in-between each kiss. Shouyou's hands brushed over my abdomen and then went to my back and creeped upwards to stop on my shoulder blades. I kissed his eyes and saw him smile. I kissed his nose and felt it twitch as our eyes locked onto each other. I kissed his chin and smiled before resting our foreheads together.
"I love you," his cheeks were still red and he kissed me softly.
"I love you too," I felt my own face heat up before I kissed him again and let my tongue rub against the roof and sides of his mouth, hearing a purring like sound coming from his chest and vibrating. I wanted to touch him too but I was afraid of crushing him. I moved off of one elbow and let the hand move down to his hips and then hesitantly slide under Shouyou's shirt. I felt him shiver but he didn't object. I pulled back and looked into his eyes and when I only saw content I leaned back into the kiss and let my hand trace circles into his stomach and rub the bone of his hip. I felt him lean up against me and he moaned into my mouth.
Shouyou gripped my shoulders and pulled me closer so that my weight pressed down on him. I pulled away from the kiss and pecked at his cheeks before moving along his jaw. I kissed the underside of his chin and kissed along the bottom of his jaw. He hummed in delight and I let my tongue rub against his skin and I felt his grip on me tighten and his hips pressed against mine. Then I was licking and kissing his neck and when I was at the crook of his neck I kissed the skin before sucking on his neck. I heard Shouyou gasp and one of his hands moved to my head and fisted my hair. It didn't hurt.
I moved to a different part of his neck and tried there too, but only got another gasp. I moved closer to his collar bone and sucked on the skin that was sunken in behind the collarbone.
"Ah..." I pulled back with a smirk and saw his red face turning away. I kissed the edge of his jaw by his ear, and then licked him behind the ear and earning another small noise. I sucked on the skin between his ear and neck and his hips moved up and pressed against mine and I rubbed mine against him. I moved to the underside of his jaw and sucked at the sensitive skin. Shouyou let out another small noise and moved both of his hand to my shoulders, still underneath my shirt.
"Your so cute," I whispered into his ear and then kissed his cheek. Shouyou huffed and looked at me with a soft glare.
"I am not!" It made me chuckle and I began to suck on the crook of his neck again but harder and Shouyou moaned and gripped my hair as his hips bucked up against mine. So his neck is very sensitive, I will definitely remember this. I continued sucking on his neck and earning moans and small cries. I rubbed my hips against his as he bucked into me and held me against him.
"To...bio..." He panted and I pulled away from his neck and kissed his nose before leaning my head against his. We stared into each other's eyes and I moved my hand under Shouyou's shirt and rubbed lightly on the skin right above his pants. He closed his eyes and as he moaned I kissed him again. His hand traveled back down my back and rested on my lower back as his other hand held my head to him. We stayed like that and I could feel Shouyou's erection as I rubbed mine against his.
"Wait," Shouyou grabbed my hand and I looked at him with concerned eyes. I let him catch his breath. "Bedroom," I nodded and slowly stood up. Before Shouyou could stand up I picked him up so that he was facing me and his legs wrapped around my hips. I held him under his butt and he hugged me around the neck and kissed me along the jawline softly. I made my way to his bedroom and propped up a plank to keep the sliding door closed.
"Bed," Shouyou whispered in my ear and began to lick it and I felt shivers run along my spine and heat return to my face. I tried to lay Shouyou on the bed gently before I crawled on but his leg wrapped around mine and I fell onto the bed. I heard him laugh and I flushed in embarrassment.
"Oh shut up," he smiled and tried pulling my shirt off. I leaned back and let it slide off of my shoulders as I smirked over him. Shouyou sat up and pulled his own shirt off, staring at me with half-lidded eyes. I rested on my knees and instead of lying back down Shouyou began to kiss and lick my chest, sending delightful shivers down my spine. He kissed and moved downward slowly. His tongue traveled around my navel and moved over the skin above my pant line and I held back the reflex of bucking into him, because I did not want to accidentally hit Shouyou.
"I love you," he kissed me above my belt buckle before lying back down with his arms lying sprawled out by his head and he stared at me with big eyes. It took a lot of my self control to keep from taking him here and now, I wanted to go slow.
"I love you too," I leaned over him and kissed him before sliding my knee between his legs and rubbing against his erection. Shouyou moaned into the kiss and wrapped his hands around my neck, one in my hair and probably messing it up but who cares. I let my fingers run along the inside of his waistband, asking if I could continue.
"Yes..." His hands tracked across my chest and under my arms to rest on my shoulder blades again. I used my other knee to spread his legs apart farther and I unbuttoned his pants. Shouyou panted into my ear and flicked his tongue against it making me shiver and smile. There was the sound of me unzipping his pants and Shouyou shimmied out of them and tossed them on the floor. I kissed his nose and leaned back to look at him.
I've already seen him naked before but each time I see it it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. The small divots where muscles started and ended, the one freckle on his hip bone that seemed so cute, the light and sparse orange hairs that traveled from under his navel downward. I brushed my thumb over the hair and Shouyou leaned into my touch. I watched his nose scrunch up like it did when I tickled him. My hands slowly went downwards and I heard his breath hitch. I leaned over and kissed him lightly.
"I'll never leave you," I started to rub my hand against him and I saw Shouyou bite back a moan. I moved my other hand and lifted his leg up so that it was bent and I ran my hand up and down his thigh slowly. His face was beat red now but he still held it in. I wanted to hear his voice. I let my lips touch that certain area in his neck and I sucked on it hard.
"Eyaaa," he threw his hands back and grabbed his bed sheets and bit his lip, unintentionally looking even more ravishing. I continued what I was doing and felt my own groin begin to throb in need, but it could wait because I didn't want to hurt Shouyou. He let out noises that drove me crazy so I went ahead and slipped down his underwear and held his erection in my hand, running my thumb along the tip and through the slits and the cry that came from Shouyou was so seductive and I felt my own erection jump in excitement. I wanted to take him so badly, but I wouldn't.
"Tobio," he breathed out my name and stared at me with half lidded eyes that almost seemed lustful. He wiggled his hips a bit and the underwear fell lower, I helped him remove it completely and he propped both of his legs up with me kneeling in the middle. My hand rubbed up and down Shouyou's erection slowly and I could see the drool starting to fall out from his mouth. I leaned in to kiss him and he came up to meet me, our tongues rubbed against and swirled around each other in a sloppy, wet kiss.
My hand was wet in his pre-cum and I really couldn't hold back much longer so I let my hand move away to massage his bottom as I grinded my hips against him. I rested my hands on the underside of his bottom where thighs started and butt ended and pressed my thumbs lightly against his anus. I kissed him again and he moved his arms so they looped around my neck and kept me pressed against him.
"Is this okay?" I watched Shouyou smile sweetly like I've never seen before.
"If it's Tobio, then yes," I smiled and pressed my thumbs in watched his mouth press into a flat line and his eyebrows crease slightly. I stretched out the edge before pressing in two fingers slowly, watching to see if he was in any pain. I let my other hand wander and rub the sensitive inside of his thighs and Shouyou let out a small gasp but as my hand slowly moved in his hips bucked up and I began to rub him with my hand again and each time he bucked up against my hips I felt a moan come out of me as well. I kissed him and we moaned into each other's mouths as I pressed my two fingers in deeper and opened and closed them like scissors. I rubbed against the muscle walls and went even deeper. I was doing this slowly and at one point Shouyou threw his head back and gripped my hair as he let out a loud and sexy cry. I had to lick my lips to keep from eating him alive and pushed my fingers back into that spot again to hear that noise again.
"Uwaaaah," he squeezed his thighs together and trapped me against him. I kissed him again and pulled both my hands away as I undid my belt and zipper and underwear just enough to release my own erection. The cool air made me shiver and it was leaking in pre-cum. I needed something to lubricate myself so that I wouldnt hurt Shouyou. I felt a hand push on my chest.
"Here," Shouyou sat me down on the bed so I leaned against the wall. I watched as he moved so he was lying half on the bed in-between my legs. He leaned on his elbows and our eyes met. I was so not thinking that this would happen but it is. Shouyou wrapped his hand around my erection and let his breath tease me and shivers ran all through my body. His tongue peeked out and he licked the whole length of it and I pressed my head into the wall.
"Stop teasing me already," my voice was way deeper than usual and incredibly breathy. He laughed and I watched as he took my erection in his mouth and deep throated it. I moaned and let my hand grab the back of Shouyou's head. His mouth was so warm and so good. Then he started moving his head up and down and I had to put my other hand over my mouth. I've only ever dreamed that something like this would happen and I never knew how good it would feel. Shouyou made a noise and I felt it vibrate along my erection and I moaned into my hand and fisted Shouyou's hair.
"Wait," I pulled him up and cupped his face before kissing him. He moved into my lap and before he could position himself I laid him down on the bed again. He looked up at me with wide eyes. "I want to make you feel good, okay?" He nodded slightly and blushed.
"Okay," I pulled his legs up so they hooked over my shoulders and settled down on my knees and in-between his legs. He gripped the bed sheets as I lined myself up. I kissed the inside of his thigh and slowly pushed forward and into Shouyou. His breath hitched and there was a knock on the door making us both freeze.
"Boys? Dinner is ready when you are so come out when you're ready. Is everything alright?" I stared at Shouyou who stared at me. He cleared his throat.
"Everything's fine mom. We'll be out later," I couldn't help but snicker at our situation and Shouyou's embarrassed face.
"Alright, don't take too long," Shouyou glared at me and was about to say something when I pulled out and slammed back into him. His back arched from the bed and he moaned in ecstasy. I got into a rhythm and moved around until Shouyou cried out a certain way and continued ramming into that spot. There was sweat on my back and my calves burned but I continued to push myself. Shouyou was feeling so nice and I felt so happy and good.
I moved one of my hands from his leg and wrapped my hand around his erection and pumped it, trying to match it in time with each thrust. My breath was heavy but I felt pleasure buzzing in my hips and pelvis and it was such a good feeling.
"T-Tobi-io," he reached out to me and I let his legs fall from my shoulders so I could hug him to me in a passionate kiss. I felt myself on the edge of an orgasm and I snapped my hips extra hard into Shouyou as I came inside of him and he came all over our stomachs. We still held onto each other as we rode the orgasm out and I slowly moved so that I was lying on my back with Shouyou leaning on my chest. He traced circles into my chest and I tried to comprehend what just happened.
I had sex with Shouyou.
I had sex with Shouyou.
Fuck the team is going to kill me if they find out! I slapped myself in the forehead and Shouyou looked up at me.
"Tobio?" He leaned up and rested on his elbows. My shirt started to slide off of his shoulders but he pulled it back on. As we had settled down he put on my shirt because he said he was cold but I just think he likes to wear my clothes.
"It's nothing really. I was just thinking about how the team was going to kill me if they found out about this," I saw his face pale a moment before he laughed, and he laughed hard. I frowned because he was laughing at me but it didn't stay because he had such a beautiful laugh.
"Oh my gosh," he wiped a tear from his eye on the shirt sleeve, "they totally will won't they?" He was still laughing and I pulled him against me in a hug. I felt him shake in laughter and my smile widened.
"Oh shut up, idiot. Then you would lose your loving boyfriend," he laughed even harder and I joined along, Shouyou had an infectious laugh.
We sneaked out of his room in the bed sheets and washed ourselves up in the bath and in the process got into a bubble war with a strawberry scented bubble bath and Shouyou emerged victorious. Then we threw the sheets and our clothes in the wash and changed our clothes. I had to put all of my clothes in the wash because they were all dirty but that was okay since Shouyou had enough of my clothes in his closet from all the clothes he "borrowed" from my house. Dinner was noodles and afterwards we cuddled and watched another studio Ghibli movie called Earthsea and during it I noticed a hickie behind Shouyou's ear and then more covering his neck and collarbone. I couldn't help but smile. The team was going to have a field day tomorrow about this.
