Note: Wow okay, so this is wayyyyy overdue and I'm sorry it took so long but I lost my fucking notebook in July and found it TODAY! I already had some things written so that's what I'm putting out right now.
We were on our way to school, which I instantly regretted when I left the house. Sugawara could tell I was nervous and kept trying to take my mind off of it. I guess he succeeded when he patted my head again.
"Why does everyone do that?"
"Do what?"
I motioned to my head before speaking
"Pat my head."
He looked confused before patting my head. I sighed in frustration
"No, I didn't mean pat my head, I meant why does everyone pat my head?"
He chuckled
"Well if I had to guess, it's because you're adorable."
I blushed and swatted his hand away.
"No I'm not!"
He smiled at me before bending down, getting closer to my face.
"Wh-what is it?"
I was still blushing, but I was now curious as to why Sugawara was so close. He continued staring at me before putting his hand on my head again and leaning closer. I didn't understand what he was doing but I did when it finally happened. Sugawara had kissed my forehead. I blushed while rubbing at the spot. I could hear him laughing, so I decided to glare at him.
"You really are adorable Hinata"
I was going to deny that but Sugawara had started to run ahead of me.
"Hinata, hurry up or I will go find Tsukishima and tell him how cute you get when someone just kisses your forehead."
I stood there letting my brain process everything before I sped off to catch up to Sugawara.
"You won't really do that, right?"
He just turned and winked at me before going faster. I groaned but still felt happy and raced after him.
"See, we made it here faster."
We were both tired and I could tell Sugawara was trying to act like he was fine. I looked up at him and we made eye contact and started laughing. After our laughter had died down a comfortable silence fell over us. We began walking to class but before we separated I wanted to tell him something.
"Ok Hinata, I'm gonna head to m-"
"Wait!"
He stopped talking and waited for me to say what I wanted to say. I bounced from one foot to the other and bit my lower lip.
"Um..I just."
I stopped and looked at the ground, Sugawara came closer to me and put his hands on both sides of my face before making me look at him.
"What is it, Hinata?"
"I…I just wanted to say thank you."
The last part was only a whisper, but I knew he heard it because he smiled and put our foreheads together.
"See, that wasn't so hard and you're welcome."
I smiled and hugged him, he seemed surprised but eventually put his arms around me. I pulled back and started heading to class before I thought of something.
"Hey, Sugawara"
He turned to me
"What?"
I smiled broadly before replying
"You really are like a mother, but I like that about you."
He blushed, with a small smile, before giving me a stern look.
"Go to class Hinata."
I headed to class laughing with a huge smile on my face.
"Why were you late? Also why didn't you answer my calls?"
I sighed and put my head on the desk, this is another reason I didn't want to come, Kageyama.
"I just woke up late that's all."
He glared at me not believing a word I said.
"really, I'm fine. You worry too much."
He gave me another glare before giving up.
"Fine, but you still could have messaged me back."
"And I thought Sugawara was a mother hen."
"What was that?"
"N-nothing."
He sighed while walking away before stopping and looking back at me.
"Are you coming?"
I looked at him warily before getting up to join him.
"Where are we going?"
"To get something to drink."
I should've known. On our way we kept switching topics, I tried to bring up Oikawa in one of them but Kageyama switched the topic immediately. When we got to the drink machine I had not given up on talking about Oikawa, just as I was about to ask another question concerning him I heard someone behind us.
"Well, if it isn't the King and his pet."
And reason number two of why I did not want to come to school today shows up.
"What did I say about calling me that you bastard."
Kageyama had foregone the drink and was now trying to get in Tsukishima's face. I noticed Yamaguchi behind Tsukishima, like he always was. I stood there for a moment listening to the both of them bicker before turning around to leave. I got three steps in before I noticed it had gone quiet. Deciding to turn around and see why, against my better judgment, I saw all three of them staring at me. No one said anything we just stared at one another…awkwardly.
"Hinata, where are you going?"
"Ha, not even your pet wants to be around you, king."
Kageyama growled before stepping closer to him.
"Tsukishima"
They both stopped their movements and looked my way. I stood there and glared at Tsukishima, he seemed taken aback at that.
"Do not call me Kageyama's pet. I have a name and I am no one's pet."
I spat out the last word with so much disdain Tsukishima winced. Everyone just stood there shocked, so I turned around and continued to leave while sighing under my breath.
"I knew this would be a bad day."
