How the volleyballs fall like cherry blossoms

by Kageyamallama

If I were to tell you what he was like, before the accident, I mean. I would tell you about the way he shined when he was next to me, I'd tell you about his obsession with Volleyball and the way his eyes sparkled. I'd tell you about the way he smiled and the way his hair sat. I'd tell you so many things about him. But I can't, because I too have also forgotten him. ((Kagehina))

4. How part of you is with me

Hey guys!

I'm so sorry I took a while to update! This chapter is a little short but there is a reason why I cut it off when I did. Also there is some exiting news at the end uvu ((If you can really call it exiting! Well, its exiting for me!))

Enjoy! 3

Kageyama insisted on walking home when he had finished. Hinata's parents had returned home a couple of hours ago and they would not let him leave until they gave him something to show their thanks. A black box was entrusted to him. The contents of the box had not yet been known to Kageyama but the only instructions they gave to him was,

"Do not open this until you get home"

And with a parting goodbye he started to walk, not having a destination he let his feet guide him as he processed what he had just done. Clearing out his best friends room. Sorting through junk and sentimental items. Old clothes that Hinata used to wear, his scent still lingering in the air. The laptops and multiple entertainment items that Hinata had probably begged for. All...gone.

Kageyama snapped out of his thoughts when he realized where he was. And a flashback to a better time followed.

"KAGEYAMA!" Hinata shouted "TOSS! TOSS!"

A smirk playing on Kageyama's lips as he looked up to see Hinata already waiting as he tossed up to him. Perfectly, efficiently and quickly the ball flew over the net. A point that won them the game. The perfect team.

"WE DID IT KAGEYAMA!" Hinata bellowed as he jumped onto Kageyama latching onto his back. The team was yelling and all Kageyama did was stand and take in all that they had accomplished.

The old gym stood proudly, almost beckoning Kageyama to walk inside. To toss, to feel the joy when he heard the ball hit Hinata's palm. But he couldn't. He couldn't disgrace Hinata by finding a new partner. Kageyama silently turned away from the gym. From his team and most importantly to volleyball.

...

Kageyama was greeted with a cold and silent home when he walked inside. It was almost 6:00pm and his mother came home at 8:30pm. He walked up the stairs and chucked the box onto his bed, he closed his bedroom door and sat on the bed. Staring at the package. It was a decent size and it gave no indication to what it held inside. Kageyama couldn't wait any longer, he pulled at the tape that sealed the opening and gradually it ripped off. Kageyama understood the instructions. His eyes started to water and helplessly his tears ran down his face. Inside the box were memories of Hinata. His laptop, cellphone, pictures of himself and Hinata, frames and photo albums of Hinata, charms that Hinata had gotten from Kageyama for his birthday and his iPod with Hinata's favorite headphones still plugged in . An over sized sweater that Hinata would wear to bed (That would just fit Kageyama). Kageyama cried heavily as he looked through his phone and finally got to hear Hinata's voice again, even if it was just a recording. The laptop was not what Kageyama had expected. Once he opened it a bunch of word documents appeared and Kageyama couldn't help but look through each of the files. He flipped through the photo albums and placed the frames next to the ones he already had.

A leather bound book sat untouched at the bottom of the box. A label was carelessly taped on the front. Hinata's handwriting spilled over the page

"THINGS I SHOULD HAVE SAID, BUT DIDN'T"

Kageyama carefully picked up the black leather book, that was worn from use. And after a deep breath he opened to the first page.

I have also made a cosplay instagram and if you are interested it would be amazing if you'd check it out and maybe give me a follow!
