2 Weeks Later

It's been about two weeks since I confessed to Tsukishima and he has pretty much been acting like it never happened, except I swear that he has started to avoid me more than he did before. The whole team was currently at a practice camp with several other teams. It was fun because I got to see Kenma and everyone else. After the confession I had told Sugawara, who held me while I cried into his chest and I think the coach knew too because he patted me on the head two days after. The one good thing that came out of it though was that Kageyama ended up with Oikawa. I smiled at that thought and almost got hit in the head by a volleyball, since I was so lost in thought.

"Oi, Hinata don't space out."

"Sorry"

I stopped with my distracting thoughts and got back to practicing with Kageyama, Kuroo, Kenma, Bokuto, and Akaashi. At the end of our practice Kuroo came over to me and put his arm around my shoulder.

"You've been spacing out all day Sho-chan, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something."

Kuroo looked at me and hummed with a smile.

"Is it about Tsukki?"

"Wh-what a-are –NO!"

I was so shocked and knew that I was a blushing mess. I tried to look away from Kuroo's stare but all of a sudden I was in his chest.

"You're so cute Sho-chan!"

Kuroo was hugging me, while I struggled to get away.

"Kuroo, let me go."

I looked up at him and he just grinned at me before leaning down next to my ear. I felt him breathe against my neck and shivered, he felt it and let out an airy chuckle.

"Kuroo"

I whined his name hoping he would let me go, because I knew that this hug was going on far longer than it should have, and his head being pretty much in my neck probably looked wrong. I started to wonder why no one had said anything to stop his nonsense, when I realized that we were the only ones in here. My body became rigid at that and I tried to push Kuroo away one more time. It was a useless struggle because he was much bugger and stringer than me. I sighed and just let him continue hugging me. He laughed at that and placed his chin on top of my head and held me closer, putting me completely into his chest.

"Kuroo, why is this hug so long?"

"Hmm, I'm helping you."

It was hard to see his face, since mine was in his chest.

"How?"

He finally pulled away from me but he grabbed my hand and made me do a twirl placing my back to his chest, while he placed his hands on my hips and put his chin back on my head. I was very confused at his whole behavior before I saw what, or rather who, was in front or me and gasped. Tsukishima was standing in the doorway of the gym looking at us and he seemed…angry? I looked away from his piercing gaze, almost immediately, to look at the ground. Kuroo put his arms around my stomach and held me closer to him. I didn't know if he was trying to comfort me, but I was actually glad for the touch this time.

"Tsukki, did you need something? I'm trying to comfort Sho-chan."

I looked up to see Tsukishima, but froze because of how pissed he looked.

"Now, now Tsukki, let's not show such an angry face."

Tsukishima just continued to stare at us with that angry glare and I just really wanted either him to leave, or for Kuroo to let me go so I could leave. There was a silent tension before Kuroo ruined it with a laugh.

"I don't understand why you're so angry Tsukki, didn't you refuse Hinata?"

I looked up surprised and stared at Tsukishima to see his reaction. His eyes became wide and he clenched his fist. I was so confused and was about to voice it but then I felt Kuroo bite and then kiss my ear. I gasped and made a squeaking sound before placing my hand on my ear and looked to the round blushing. I didn't get to see Tsukishima's face and I didn't want to, but I heard him walk out of the gym. Kuroo loosened his hold on me and I turned around completely embarrassed and on the verge of tears.

"What was that about?"

I nearly screamed it at him but he just grinned at me and placed his hands on his hips.

"I told you, I was helping you."

"How was that helping?"

He sighed

"Shouyou"

I immediately gave him my full attention.

"You noticed how angry he was, right?"

I nodded

"Now, why would he be so angry if he didn't care about you?"

"No, he was probably just angry because he hate me and-"

I had started crying mid-sentence and was wiping my eyes profusely but the tears wouldn't stop. Kuroo made a cooing sound, then grabbed me and held me against him. I didn't try to fight it this time and buried my head into his chest and wept.

"Shh, it's alright, everything is alright."

"No, it's not, he hates me."

"He doesn't hate you, in fact I think he's quite fond of you."

We stood there with me crying into his chest and him trying to comfort me.

"You're and asshole."

He laughed loudly when I said that and patted my head.

"So I've been told."

We pulled away from each other and he was grinning down at me.

"You know, we should make a plan to get Tsukki to like you."

I stared at him dumbfounded

"I am almost certain that that's a bad idea."

"Did you mean wonderful?"

"Do you just like being an asshole?"

He gasped at that

"I'll have you know that I'm a very nice and caring person."

We laughed together at that.

"I like you better like this."

"Huh?"

"Crying you is cute and all, but I prefer the little ball of sunshine and energy that is always laughing and smiling."

I blushed at his words and turned away

"You're weird."

"Hahaha trust me, there are people much worse than me. Like Bokuto"

He had turned to the side when he said that last part, so I couldn't quite hear him.

"What was that?"

"Nothing"

Kuroo patted me on the head and started walking towards the exit of the gym.

"Umm, did you mean that?"

He turned to me

"Mean what?"

I looked down and started playing with my hands.

"What you um..said about Tsukishima."

I looked up when I said it and saw his face soften.

"Hinata, I would not lie about something like that."

*So I'm most likely going to write a side chapter for Kageyama and Oikawa if anyone wants to read that.*
