I do not own Haikyuu!
Enjoy!
Being friends again with Iwa-chan was the best thing ever.
For apparent reason they couldn't hang out on a regular basis and he was too busy actually training.
However his guardians were having none of that, they told him if there was proof that he was the missing Toru Oikawa, they would end the experiment and his identity will die in an accident, when in reality he would die due to having his organs ripped from him to be sold.
If he wanted to continue living even his texts could not be annoyingly rose coloured when speaking to a friend.
He cut down immensely the urge to text Hajime at every minute of the day and waited to see if his schedule would open up.
His schedule did open up 2 weeks later and they both agreed to meet up in Aobajohsai and Hajime gave him the address.
He managed to ditch his manager who would no doubt watch what he ate like a hawk and he switched off his phone.
He got a taxi all the way, costing him quiet something before seeing Hajime in a green jacket, brown pants and shoes.
"Hajime-san" He said.
Luz wore dark shades, a white shirt under a silver wolly expensive jacket, black pants and black shoes.
He looked like he should be on a run way.
Hajime turned to him.
And than Luz saw the little boy.
The little boy next to Hajime who he hadnt seen in years.
It was his Nephew Takeru.
Hajime had brought his adorable nephew along.
Damn you, Iwachan!
Ch 8: the End of a Friendship
To say that Takeru was staring would be the understatement of a life time.
That Idiot suddenly disappeared two years ago without a trace and even though the adults tried to hide it, he heard that there was apparently somebody who looked a lot like him appear recently.
So he had practically forced Hajime to take him along knowing full well, the police were currently trying to glean anything from Hajime phone, for anything that stuck out that the man texted.
Liz was actually a pretty boring guy who who would ask about Hajime day and than ask about great places in Japan.
It wasn't anything shocking.
Both Luz and Takeru stared at each other.
And than Luz could suddenly feel the very pointed gaze on his back that was like death behind him.
If he didn't say anything soon, it could be the end of him.
Luz seemed to have come out of shock and said with a gentle smile. "Who is this Hajime-san? Your little brother?"
Both Takeru and Hajime looked stunned to see that he did not know who this person was.
"No. He's a friends nephew" said, Hajime also realising it would be awkward if he said nothing.
And Luz stared for a very long time before saying.
"Hajime-san, I don't think we came be friends anymore"
"IM NOT INTO THAT!" Hajime said, knowing what he was implying. "He really is my friends nephew."
He know it looked questionable when a grown man is with a boy and he was saying they weren't related.
"Takeru is actually a huge fan of you." Said, Hajime thinking of a way for Takeru to stay.
And Luz relaxed instantly and said. "Is that so. I can hang out with a fan, than"
If it was to hang out with a fan like a dream day than he was on board with that.
"I haven't eaten, yet." Hajime said.
"I haven't eaten either." Said, Luz before turning to the child and saying. "We can get lunch and this little guy can choose were we go"
And Kareku had no choice but act like a fan.
But this was free lunch.
"We can go McDonalds" Kareku said, knowing his parents wouldn't approve.
"McDonald's? Never been there but is a first time for everything" said, Luz.
With his diet, there was no way he had time to shove junk food into him.
All of them began to walk, Luz made sure to relay completely on Hajime and Takeru for directions.
They soon made their way to the store and Luz marvelled seeing the inside for the first time and how cheap the prices were.
Kareku looked at him like he was a weirdo.
"I'll treat you two" said, Luz suddenly. "What do you both want?"
They both were surprised, he was very quick to recover.
"I went an adult burger with fries and a drink" said, Takeru apparently trying to shed the kids meal image.
"Adult burger?" Luz said.
"Just get him a foot long and one for me as well" said, Hajime.
"Than I'll get one as well" said, Luz.
Before they made it to front of the line and Luz said their order before getting money out of his wallet to pay.
6 minutes later they had their order and sat down.
Luz looked very interested in his meal.
"You didn't go to Mcdonaldos as a kid?" Said, Takeru asking a pointed question that his age could.
"You caught me. My meals were always prepared for me. My parents would never allow me to touch fast food when I was a kid" said, Luz slipping some information in.
Than he took the burger and the sheer way he held it spoke volumes of his upbringing as he began to eat it.
Not even Hajime had seen him properly eat before at this point.
It was kind annoying how he could be so neat.
"How can you eat so neatly?" said, Takeru just shoving the burger into his mouth or what he could handle. "You must have grown up from a rich family"
And at that moment the police who were tailing and listening in loved the kid.
"...Lets, talk about something else, Takeru" Luz said, suddenly changing the subject, showing that he had problems with his parents.
From their Spain counterparts they learned that Luz parents weren't supportive of his current lifestyle and wanted him in business school so it was understandable if their relationship was rocky right now.
"When did you become a fan? I thought somebody your age wouldn't be a fan of somebody who is considered an enemy" said, Luz.
And Takeru had no idea what he was talking about.
Damn.
"You know kids. They are not that strict in supporting their own country" said, Hajime, covering for him. "They can switch sides simply because it looks cooler"
"Right, you were so cool that I had to root for you" said Kareku.
And Luz didn't say anything.
He may be inexperienced but he was very smart.
A normal fan would have gone into detail of the parts of him that felt cool.
The silence that followed would have worried anybody.
They finished up and walked out.
"So Takeru what do you want to do now?" Said Luz.
"We can go to the arcade!" Said, Takeru.
"Dont you want to see your idol in action?" Said, Luz.
"Ur, yeah" Takeru said. "I want to you to see you...urm"
"Heads up" said Hajime throwing a ball that was nearby and getting Takeru out of it.
Luz caught the ball showing Takeru he was a volleyball player, he passed it back to Hajime who caught it.
"Luz-san, that was amazing!" Takeru said.
And Hajime felt like cringing, the kid couldn't fake enfusism well.
The silence that followed afterwards spoke volumes and Hajime didn't like the way Luz was looking at Takeru through his fake lenses.
"Let's go to the arcade" said, Luz deciding to drop it.
They went to the arcade nearby and Takeru was truly cheery about it which made his fake enfusism before, that much worse.
"This one is on me" said, Hajime putting paper money into the machine and getting tokens that made Takeru happier.
Hajime gave some to Luz and Takeru, Takeru was quick to choose a game.
The first was a shooting game, you could even play with four people.
Luz and Hajime decided to play with the kid.
Being a former Volleyball who was noteworthy Hajime was good.
However Luz was better, it was because his eyesight had been fine tuned by his guardians.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang!
Those who watched were left shocked as Luz didn't miss a single target even if they appear for a split second.
He kept going even when the speed was now impossible, seeing his gun move at such a pace was quiet a sight to be hold.
But than he seemed to notice how long he was taken on one game and stopped pulling the trigger.
It was game over.
The tickets began to pour in making Takeru happy and Luz blinked to find out he had apparently made a new high score.
He entered his name using the buttons and they went to a hoop game, by now some people were watching them.
Hajime told him how to play and Takeru went first only to be terrible, Hajime was good but Luz was better.
Luz made every basket no matter where it was to the point the basket was suddenly changing a lot more often.
When Luz decided to give up, Takeru was rolling in stack of tickets.
"Luz-san. Your amazing." Takeru said. "You could go to the nationals."
National?
For somebody like him who was world class, it was laughable.
It was than that Hajime know that he was busted, Takeru clearly didn't know that he was a Spainish national player that was on the team that challenged the world.
"Its nice to hear that from a fan" said, Luz not saying anything.
They went from game to game until their coins ran out and than they helped Wheel barrow the tickets over to the ticket collection.
The person paled at the thought of counting that many tickets when he saw the stack.
"Just choose three." Said the person.
Takeru was happy to take goodies, while the adults couldnt care less.
They said goodbye to Takeru who was dragging a stuffed elephant, gameboy and toy plane home.
Now they were alone, under a bridge and Luz had to ask.
"Hajime-san, who is that boy and why did you lie to me about him being a fan?"
The question had come.
Luz personality had been engraved into his mind, if he didn't ask it would be completely out of character for him.
Hajime paused, what could he say when it was obvious Takeru was no fan.
"I was tasked with him by his parents. They worry about him and wanted me to show him a good time" Hajime said.
"Hajime-san...that doesn't make sense" Luz suddenly said. "If their worried than why did you leave the boy to make his way home by himself just now?"
Red alert.
"Hajime-san, I would understand if its a family or personally issue but your dragged me into it with lies" Luz said. "Hajime-san...what are you hiding from me?"
Luz was on him like hot cakes and that's what worried the police.
Any lie would be caught instantly, the original plan was to get Luz talking with Hajime about his life, in a quiet place where nobody was around to spy.
They had seen him sneak glances at places and got the feeling that he was under heavy watch.
With nobody but the two of them, Luz may ask for help or suddenly change personality.
The existence of Takeru made it a bust.
Hajime decided to come out and say it.
"Luz..." Hajime said. "Are you willing to do a Blood test?"
Let's end this now.
"Eh?" Said, Luz, before he said. "Your that Hajime Iwaizumi? Aren't you? Did you become friends with me because I look like your friend? Sorry but I'm not him"
And before Hajime could say anything they heard.
"A ha!"
Suddenly Luz was pulled by none other than his manger.
"I finally found you." She said in Spain. "Why is that whenever I see you with this man, you've had what I know you should have?"
"Manager. This is a mistake. We were just t-" Luz began.
"I know you had fast food" she said, making his eyes go wide but what he heard next had him go white on the inside.
"Your friend Zana, saw you and texted me pictures"
What?
A friend named Zana.
That person was...
They saw him both pale slightly.
"Luz?" Said his manager.
"Right...Zana...he's my friend" said, Luz realising he was taken to long. "Im completely busted. I havent seen him in years. I think I'm coming down with something"
"Than you need to lie down" said, his manager as they went.
Luz acting a bit weak and said to Hajime in English.
"Bye Hajime, I've got to lay down for bit" he said, before saying.
"Oh and can you button up?"
And Hajime looked down only for his face to freeze when he saw that his wire that the police gave him was on full display.
When Hajime looked at Luz, he was stunned to meet cold and moving eyes.
In that moment he know their friendship was over.
Zana had ordered him to end the relationship.
So Luz did.
And scene!
Next chapter, Luz completely shuts Hajime out and the team find themselves visited by Japan's national team. Review/ fav and follow!
