Wandering Under the Sun
Chapter 2: Forward Momentum
Yamaguchi hovered around Hinata who had been shakily apologizing to Tanaka about his pants. The redhead had been so nervous all week and his mates had been at their wit's end with worry. It all ended with the omega vomiting all over poor Tanaka on the bus ride over. Kiyoko who Hinata had met previously eased down the young omega her own beta instincts had her easily crooning to the small teen protectively. It only made Hinata worry more as Hinata became an even greater stuttering mess.
"Y-yammy um I-i'm d-izz-yy" Hinata seemed to sway on his feet and Yamaguchi was doing his best to support his stressed-out mate. Glowering at Tsukishima who has snickered and Kageyama who was muttering curses at their omega.
Though Hinata's stumbling seemed to drain the teasing energy from Tsukishima who reached out to catch their suddenly pale mate.
Tsukishima admitted to Yamaguchi later on that maybe teasing the kid about being kicked off the regular spot was a bad idea. The beta of their pack had been aggravated with both stupidly stoic and stupidly mean-spirited alphas in their immediate pack.
This continuous snarky behavior had his instincts in a tizzy with no outlet or guidance on how to fix the dynamic. Yamaguchi wasn't even sure where to start to begin helping Hinata when the Omega wasn't fighting back against their two assholes himself.
Kageyama had been closed off and more focused on training since the announcement of their upcoming practice match against Aoba Johsai. Hinata despite having had a good leg up on his training was practically wilting as the days blurred by. As amusing to Tsukishima as it was it was still odd to see both Hinata and Kageyama on different spectrums of intensity. One intensely focused the other intensely freaked out.
Yamaguchi was so frustrated with them all the week leading up to the match, that he ended up taking an extra futon he had brought from home and took to sleeping in their study room. Now everyone slept alone and poor Hinata was still a mess. Their cohabitation didn't seem to be going so well…
Focusing back on the situation at hand though.
Tanaka waved off Hinata's apologies, his already-developed instincts only aimed to soothe the distressed omega.
"Don't sweat it, just relax. You're letting out distressed pheromones and it's rather you didn't stress out your body." Tanaka had already handed over his soiled pants to Kikiyo who wrapped it in a bag plastic for cleaning later. Ennoshita handed over a sanitary wipe to his mate and cooed to Hinata wiping the redhead's mouth gently with a tissue.
It was a chaotic scene in general if you weren't used to the antics of the Karasuno team.
Suga was smiling menacingly at Kageyama who had dared raise his voice at the already upset Omega of his.
The redhead scrambled off seeking out a restroom ignoring Tanaka's yell 'Coming out of both ends, I'm impressed!'
Yamaguchi wanted to follow after his Omega but damn Hinata could run and lost him too quickly. The team followed into the building only a bit after the redhead encountered a few students of the volleyball team they would be facing. Both Tsukishima and Yamaguchi warily eyed the boys who had only moments before been not only talking badly about their team but their new mate. Their king and it pissed off the two childhood friends knowing others could dare disrespect what was theirs.
Tanaka and Tsukishima immediately began intimidating the opposing members and Kageyama only offered a single remark confirming the Karasuno team was his new loyal subjects. Earning a smack from his upperclassmen Tanaka and Daichi contradicting such. It would seem their worry for the stoic teenager was unfounded. The rest of Karasuno decided it would now be a good time to head inside seijoh as both Suga and Tadashi were concerned over the still missing red head.
-W.U.T.S-
Tsukishima though was the first through the door to see his little omega being crowded by another member of this opposing team. From scent alone he could tell the teen was like him, a pre alpha on the cusp of hitting full puberty soon. The dark-haired onion-headed volleyball player by was practically purring after their omega.
A low growl rumbled out of the pre alpha's throat but their beta was quicker than him zipping across the corridor and pushing between the onion teen and Hinata. Yamaguchi was practically hissing at the offending male crowding their small mate.
Yamahuchi's protective instincts were full frontal focused solely on the threat before his cowering mate. The beta would not back down even menacing the pre alpha who stumbled backward in surprise.
Tsukishima and Kageyama were both just suddenly there towering over them as well hiding their now blushing omega away from prying eyes. Hinata himself well he was so embarrassed that he was a stuttering mess behind the three of them.
Daichi sighed but immediately drew attention over and called his team to their side, though his mate had too been growling at the offending boy. Suga had a protective streak a mile long and cooed to Hinata and his mates once the small boy was returned to his side. Omegas were fiercely protective of who they called theirs. Hinata was under Suga's guidance and there would always be a touch of overprotective possessiveness between them. He didn't even want to imagine how Noya would have reacted. The smallest omega was quite aggressive in his own protective streak considering Suga and Noya had already bonded their packs together.
Eyeing how Suga interacted with their first years, heavily scenting each protesting one of them, Daichi knew it was only a matter of time until Suga would offer them a chance to join their future community. Noya himself might beat them to the punch seeing as both Omega's loved Hinata and Yamaguchi already. Seeing how the beta and omega of the first-year group reacted to Daichi's own omega made the captain cement the idea that it would be a well-received invitation. His gaze moved to the two towering pre alpha's hovering around their mates. It would be him and Tanaka leading them and guiding the boys it would seem. Eyeing a growling Tanaka being held back by Ennoshita made him retract that thought.
So, he knew for a fact it would be up to him to lead the two emotionally combative alphas in the group. Daichi sighed heavily knowing this was going to be a long year.
~W.U.T.S~
Hinata seemed to calm down from his nervousness…well until they started playing the actual game. Yeah, he was probably still nervous as Kageyama's head quickly made friends with the volleyball all on his account. Hinata was sure that would probably become a recurring nightmare for him.
Apparently, his mantra to not mess up didn't work. Hinata would have nightmares about this day for years to come for sure.
Though the setter hand smacking himself with a frozen demon smile scared him more than anything he had ever faced in his entire life. It was all washed with his mate's words though.
"Is there something you fear more than hitting a serve to the back of my head?" Kageyama had spoken eerily with a frozen smile on his face. That would probably be number one in the nightmare scale.
It didn't help that Tsukishima and Tanaka were laughing in the background alongside several others from the opposing team.
"No? Then hurry up and go back to normal Dumbass!" Then Kageyama turned away and went to focus back on the match and Hinata's heart fluttered.
If he could get away with that without consequence, then he could do anything! He smiled at his alpha who only ignored the omega's eager happiness in that moment.
"We're a team Hinata, remember that." Tanka spoke up making the redhead smile even more brightly.
"You've gotta teach me that serve shrimp." Tsukishima teased oddly helping relieve Hinata's tension a bit more. Now he was ready to play.
"Sorry Yama I'll do better I promise," Hinata spoke his voice was sincere only pleasing his raven-haired mate and making his opponents flinch. Kageyama only nodded in affirmation and it eased the omega further. So he buckled down further to ensure he didn't mess up further.
~W.U.T.S~
Hinata felt a shiver of fear slither up his spine when he saw the brown-haired Beta enter the court to take the position of a setter. He knew this was Oikawa from the description Kageyama had given them on earlier days of their cohabitation. The pair talked a lot about Kageyama's past and it gave Hinata a better understanding of his emotionally constipated mate. He didn't like the beta already from stories his mate spoke of previously.
The redhead was already annoyed So when Oikawa targeted his snarky mate Tsukishima He was fuming. Oikawa then called out their own stoic setter putting his mate on edge and making the Omega feel slightly vindictive.
Hinata didn't care, if Kageyama feared Oikawa Hinata would have to be the brave one for them.
So, he rose to the challenge and despite his own trepidation he would face this head on…hopefully.
He slightly regretted having those brown eyes aimed his way but despite Oikawa aiming his serve at Tsukishima who luckily dug up the serve, Hinata watched intently as it got sent back to the opposing court. Hinata zipped through the court only focusing on getting them a point. In a flash, he stopped Kindaichi who had geared up to spike the ball. He needed to cover for his team's weaknesses where he was able to.
Hinata could sense the hesitation in Kageyama and the nervousness that set their team on edge. He was an omega so maybe it was in his instincts to push and reach and jump more and more so he could cover their backs, but he did what he could to accommodate their team.
"Nice one-touch Hinata!" Tanaka called out while their team readied up to make a counterattack.
Finally, he soared and narrowed his own gaze at the brown-haired setter spiking down a shot just behind him. Karasuno won their practice match and Hinata brightened smiling largely as Yamaguchi was the first to hug him in congratulations.
~W.U.T.S~
Iwaizumi was joined by his mate Oikawa and stared at the fiery-haired omega. The boy's collar easily identified him as one. Iwaizumi's beast practically purred the Omegas way wanting the pretty little thing's attention. Oikawa too focused a warm gaze toward the delicate little thing. The little omega showed interest in Iwaizumi but outright snubbed Oikawa. Neither of them could blame the teen as it came off that the beta setter was mocking and harassing his mates in the previous matches. They still watched that buzzing ball of energy flutter around chatting with others on his team.
Though Kageyama crossed their view sending them back a hard glare and baring his teeth at them before heading off after his mates. Tsukishima had not missed the interaction and too sent a cold glare to the pair on his way out. Both of the young alpha's made it pretty damn clear, that Hinata was theirs. No touching.
Kageyama veered off to the restroom and Hinata soon afterwards headed in that direction for the restroom once more. However, he found his alpha in the middle of a conversation.
"-Next time we'll beat you." It was the onion-haired teen and Kageyama stoic as ever responded that their team would be the winners. Hinata practically glowed with pride as his idiot mate had at first been reluctant to work with them and now look at the king.
"Uhh, by the way, that omega on your team. What is his name?" Hinata froze and Kageyama turned away from his former teammate catching Hinata awkwardly trying to hide.
"He is none of your concern, that is my mate. I will not allow my mate to let someone who would turn their back on him in our community." Kageyama ignored the growl coming from his former teammate and tugged his blushing omega away back to their team.
He wanted out of this fucking school and he definitely wanted his omega out of this school. He kept an eye on his mate who had scampered over to walk at Tanaka's side. Hinata had been embarrassed by Kageyama's bold statement. They all still barely got along but the alphas instincts would not stand for their omega to be seduced when they had not even done so. Hinata himself seemed to ruffle against preening into his happy instincts at his alpha's protectiveness.
Until Oikawa came to give their group a visit, then the omega hid behind his alpha upperclassman Tanaka hyping him up as he threatened the smug-looking setter.
"What do you want Oikawa." Daichi spoke slightly hostile as his own mate's hackles had risen. Hinata was giving off distressed signals as the beta setter's brown gaze was zeroed in on the small crow.
"Your offense is certainly great but, if you don't get better at receiving you won't fly but soon hit the glass ceiling you aim for." He strode their way looking closely at the red-haired omega. "The inter-high preliminaries are coming up. Don't get knocked down now." Oikawa spoke looming over Hinata who was doing his best to be as small as he could be behind Tanaka.
Yamaguchi wrapped his arms possessively around his small mate glaring at the other beta whose gaze was all for his omega. Tsukishima and Kageyama did their job and blocked the rival beta's view of what was theirs only half listening to his words.
When the Karasuno team left Kageyama, Tsukishima, and Yamaguchi had to play several rounds of rock paper scissors to win the seat next to Hinata. Kageyama won and slipped in next to their mate.
Yes. They weren't close or bonded or anything like that, but Hinata was still their mate. Their still subdued instincts would always rise up when an uninvited rival dared proposition their mate. All three of them would be hyper-focused on Hinata till he was marked by each of them.
They each knew what the brown-haired beta wanted, and they each knew it was only the beginning. Hinata was still unbonded unlike Suga, so a lot of alphas and betas saw it as invination, and it set his mates on edge when facing a competitor.
However. it was all forgotten when they returned to their shared dorm apartment. They took turns showering which was quick as they had two bathrooms. Hinata was already sleepily making his way to his heat room after having taken what little energy he had to eat leftovers.
Though the omega was stopped by Yamaguchi who nervously stood by the door to the heat room room. Oikawa was a beta not an alpha and was clearly aiming for Hinata and it made Yamaguchi anxious. His insecurities were surfacing, and Tadashi worried his mate would prefer a different beta who was better skilled at volleyball.
Someone like Oikawa, it was clear his other alpha Kageyama had a history with the older beta and Yamaguchi wasn't sure what to do. He didn't want his omega to refuse to bond with him in the future because there were better prospects out there. Sure he would have to share his mates later, but the bond was his, it was theirs and he didn't want his omega or alpha to leave him.
"What's wrong Yammy?" Hinata's honey gaze was intensely focused on the beta and though hesitant he gently held his hand. Tadashi smiled shyly before pulling the smaller boy into a hug.
He could not confess such vulnerability to the omega, he would not be able to handle it if his fears were confirmed.
"Can I sleep over in your heat room with you tonight?" Yamaguchi smiled softly and Hinata blushed bright red.
He didn't think meant to ask such a question in the way his mind told him. Neither of them had hit a second puberty yet and Hinata was sure Yamaguchi did not intend to proposition him so boldly.
Seeing Hinata's brilliant flush and realizing how still and quiet he had become made the taller of the two replay their conversation in his mind. Yamaguchi smacked his face in his own embarrassment.
"Ah! I didn't mean it like that Hinata. I just meant for us to sleep together." Tadashi whimpered in even more embarrassment cursing himself for putting his foot in his mouth again. "No like just sleep next to each other not actually sleep together not that I wouldn't want to sleep with you." Tadashi was plotting his suicide by now. "Cause we are strangers but mates and you and uhh I…we could but no." Hinata's soft giggle pulled Yamaguchi out of his panic.
"Sure I wouldn't mind a sleep over." Hinata smiled brightly and Yamaguchi eased down before following at the omega into the cozy room.
Tsukishima and Kageyama pouted from down the hall both huffing and splitting off to go to their respective beds. Each making their own plots to get some alone time with the omega as well.
~W.U.T.S~
The next day at practice Kageyama stared in shock as a newly arrived omega easily picked up his serve and returned it to the setters passion. Hinata was buzzing in excitement around the smaller teen who had long brown spikes of hair with a tuff of blonde.
"Noya san!" Hinata was already hugging the excited omega who was a stranger to Kageyama. The setter had heard of him as Hinata had spoken about a libero who was on suspension from club activities. Kageyama could plainly see three bond marks under the collar the libero omega wore. In the excitement, Tanaka and several of their senpai joined them.
Nishinoya purred as Enoshita and Tanaka came up welcoming the boy. Kageyama could conclude that those two must be two out of three of his bondmates. Hinata blushed watching them affectionately greet each other and glanced away only to catch Kageyama's warm gaze aimed his way. Daichi and Suga were snickering at both Hinata's reaction and the overly affectionate mates.
Hinata himself blushed a brighter red and looked away from his mate immediately. "Yama cut it out." Hinata bemoaned but his Kageyama only sent him a rakish grin siding up to him despite his mate's flushed expression.
"Where's Asahi?" The libero spoke up making his mates flinch and look away.
"Oh, so that jerk has the nerve to leave our shared dorm and skip practice." Noya was practically growling and Hinata observed the situation. He intended to find out all about this situation and butt his nose into it as well.
In fact, it only took a few minutes for Hinata to find out all the information he needed to know. He left his senpai Nota in a buzz of happiness and set off with his alpha to go make a visit to the third years classroom.
Kageyama wrapped his arm around Hinata walking through the halls glaring at the older teens who eyed his unmarked omega hungrily. Hinata was oblivious to it all and only happily latched onto his mate with easy affection. The Omega practically purred in his mattress's protective hold, Hinata knew he'd be facing his empty room for the evening and craved some form of affection. So he took what he could I'm the day so he wouldn't feel desperate for attention later in the evening.
He stumbled out of his thoughts as Kageyama halted pulling the omega flush against his side. Hinata and Kageyama had arrived at the third years classroom.
They found Sugawara talking to a tall long-haired teen.
"Asahi wait!" Hinata and Kageyama parroted the teens name making him stop and look at the duo.
Hinata lost his confidence for a moment and hid behind his tall scary looking mate. Suga introduced them and Hinata realized the friendly smile and kind atmosphere around the ace eased him.
Though the older boy's refusal to join them back in the team made Hinata's smile dim a bit. The omega didn't feel it right to play without someone who he truly considered a rival.
~W.U.T.S~
The next few days of school and training went as per usual till Takeda sensei came in excitedly telling them about another volleyball practice match at the end of golden week. This time with Nekoma. Ever since the older man had seen the display of talent from Kageyama and Hinata he had been a burning blaze of determination to get the passionate boys any opportunity to improve.
The teacher was gone as fast as he came, and the teens had to resume practice. Hinata was a buzzy ball of excited energy from that day all onward.
It only made the Omega to persist and speak to the former ace once more. So, the next day he dragged his setter along and they confronted the teenager.
Asahi had been flustered by the interest and scrutiny of the two first years. The bubbly Omega made him think of his own omega who he was currently at odds with. It stung and made the ache of being away from his mates far worse than previously.
Though in the wake of those intense honey orbs similar in force to his own mate Asahi was spilling his own nightmares of the court to the duo before him.
"I've lost my ability to visualize what it is like to break through. The blockers are always right in my way. I feel like I will continue to get shut out and the thought of that freaks me out the most." Azumane spoke with a pained smile on his face.
"Uhh this may seem cocky coming from pipsqueak first years, but I know what you mean. I'm short and get blocked all the time by blockers, and I have almost no technical skills to avoid being blocked out." Hinata looked at the taller teen with fire in his gaze though.
"Now though I can get past any blocker thanks to his tosses." He clung to Kageyama's side and pointed up toward him mate who was eyeing him entirely. "The blockers fade away and the view on the other side of the net opens up to me." Asahi looked stricken and stared down at the omega and young alpha before him.
"I'm jealous of you, right now I don't have height or power to break through blockers, but you do. I know you've been blocked a lot but you've scored way more times than you've been blocked right? That's why they call you the ace." Asahi looked shocked and silence settled over them until the bell rang making Kageyama shoo his mate away and back to class.
Kageyama did stop a moment catching the older alphas attention. "Excuse me for saying this, it's only natural that you can't win by yourself, that's why there are six people on the court. Though I've only really started to believe that so I'm not sure is I can be the one say such things. Pardon me" He inclined his head and turned off to get to class.
Both boys left behind a contemplative karasuno ace.
~W.U.T.S~
During practice Taketa returned with a coach. Coach Ukai the former coaches grandson and an alumni from Karasuno. Also, one of Takeda's mates and the two looked like opposites. Takeda the brown haired mousy teacher and Ukai the bottle blonde delinquent looking coach. Ukai brought along several other alumni for a practice match and nearly dragged a spying Asahi into the gym to help even the teams.
There was a moment of tense silence between Asahi and Noya but the game started up easily enough.
It ended with the omega libero telling his mate to just 'Please call for a toss, Ace!' That made the taller man more determined and brought him back into the game itself as he did just that. It was almost as surprising as everyone discovering Hinata's astounding athletic abilities.
Everyone being a bit bewildered and shocked at the amazing jumping ability of the red haired omega.
In that Asahi got his own burst of confidence back and slammed down his own spike onto the opposing side of the court. Thus, making Hinata himself more determined to face off against Karasuno's ace.
Then Kageyama and Hinata showcased their freak quick and shocked coach Ukai, Asahi and Noya. The match continued until Hinata was smacked face first by a spike from Asahi himself.
Everyone scrambled around the small omega who was making pained noises. Tsukishima frowned looking over his at his small mate. "It's his fault for standing there all spaced out." Kei huffed annoyed his omega was hurt and blamed the kid for not paying attention.
Yamaguchi was one the sidelines panicking about the smaller teen. Stuttering about head injuries and amnesia. Takeda sensei was right alongside him panicking as well, his mate with ease calmed him.
Kageyama…well he had a much different reaction. "Why were you daydreaming during a game?" Hinata nearly choked and scrambled away from the threatening aura his mate was producing.
"I know you are envious about the power and height of someone like Asahi." Hinata grew pale under Kageyama's calm rant. "Being an ace is cool. Being a decoy can't be my best weapon it so stupid and lame. That's what you were thinking. Right." Hinata refused to look his mate in the eyes.
"What's wrong with being jealous, I've always been short you would never understand." Hinata scowled right back, and they were briefly interrupted by another teacher checking in on the gym.
When the match was to resume Kageyama pointed to Hinata while facing the opposing team. "I'm going to give the next toss to him. Please block him to the best of your ability." Kageyama ignored the irritated huff given off by his short mate.
Kageyama walked away from his exasperated omega and spoke. "Right now, you are just a klutzy idiot who happens to have good balance and jumping ability. You will never be a breadwinner ace." Everyone froze with both Tanaka and Asahi trying to stop the first year setter.
"But with me around, You're the greatest!" Hinata jolted a moment confused. Tadashi flushed at his mattress declarations on the court and Kei grumbled about taking behind. "Azumane's spikes are forceful and strong enough to break through a triple block.
"Eh not every time ehh uhh-" Asahi said shaking a bit nervously.
"Now what about you? When I throw you tosses do you ever get stopped by blockers." Hinata frowned and they started up the game again.
The red head froze seeing the wall of towering figures ready to block his coming spike.
"Evade! What else can you do dumbass?" Hinata zipped forward and to the left as the wall followed him prepared to jump. Then bolted quickly to the far right jumped and slammed down a spike earning them a point.
"You aren't the ace, but with your speed jumping power and my tosses, you can take on any blockers. The ace blasts through for a point, you evade for a point. A point is a point! You don't need to wear the ace's crown; you can hit more points than anyone. You are who our opponents will be watch, you will be why our spikers will have more opportunities for a hit, thanks to your decoy skills! Right?" This time Kageyama looked to Tanaka who jolted but easily agreed.
"Do you still think your job is uncool?" Tobio was gasping for breath after his rant slightly flushed from embarrassment.
"I don't." Hinata mumbled softly.
"Huh?" Shoyo looked up to Kageyama's blue eyes and clenched his fist.
"I don't!" He shouted at him.
"Good." Kageyama said and the game resumed after the first year duo gave their apologies for interrupting the game.
Hinata looked at Kageyama in a new light from them on. Affection swirling in his gaze as he followed his mate like a puppy. Flustering the blue eyed alpha during their match.
Ukai looked to his mate contemplating a question. "Teach, how long have the two known one another?" Takeda looked to his mate and frowned.
"Kageyama and Shoyo only just recently met through the government program." Ukai looked over in the teen's direction a contemplative look in his gaze.
"What a shame." He spoke confusing his own mate who focused back on the duo.
Yamaguchi watched intensely as the game went on with the opposing side winning due to Shimida's jump floater serve. The teen was so enraptured by the serve and a small fire bloomed in his chest from the observation.
Both Kageyama and Noya were teased by the adults for their sweat speeches aimed at their respective mates but they ended that practice with a good mood and a new coach.
~W.U.T.S~
The first years were all awoke early the first day of golden week and practically dragged by their omega who had taken the liberty of packing for everyone. Hinata was excited for training camp though Tsukishima reminded him they had to get through school that day first.
Though when they got through the day and training as well they all were herded into the training lodge for the volleyball team. Hinata was buzzing around excited but quickly stolen away while his mates took his things to settle in. They all knew the Omega had been corralled into helping in the kitchen while at camp.
Hinata had been roped in by Kiyoko into helping prepare dinner and was just as startled as her when Nishinoya and Tanaka were seen a laying on the ground looking hollow after they arrived to the kitchen. The omega did his best to ignore his flushed mates standing only a bit further off from the two downed idiots who seemed to get life back once spotting Hinata and Kiyoko in frilly aprons.
Noya immediately cuddled up to the other omega gushing at how cute he looked in the apron and complimenting Kikiyo as well. All while Tanaka drooled at their side.
Tsukishima and Kageyama growled at Tanaka for eyeing their little omega though. Tadashi and Suga rushed forward to gush over Hinata who was led away by Kiyoko to finish cooking.
At practice the next morning Hinata had woken Tadashi and Tobio to go for their morning run as Tsukishima threatened his life for waking him without coffee. Kageyama had taken Kei for his word and started bullying his other two mates into running with him and Hinata when they were home, but Tsukishima wasn't having it today. They had already been run into the ground with training the previous day.
Kageyama and Hinata's competition of testosterone and idiot behavior was only emboldened by them having to race up a hill during a team training exercise. So much so that the Omega charged off…far and got lost. Yeah, he definitely hadn't heard his team calling for him.
Hinata looked around himself realizing he had probably gotten off track and maybe took the challenge too far. A soft sweet scent hit the short middle blockers nose and Hinata perked up.
He spun and spotted someone who seemed focused on a phone not too far off. Hinata's smile was wide, but he hesitated not recognizing the uniform of the small two toned haired boy. An omega just like him, and the black scent blocking collar at the boy's throat only confirmed it.
"Hey! Whatcha doing?" Hinata startled the teen who looked at him with large catlike amber eyes.
The teen looked away from the red haired teen flushing lightly, "Well, it's umm I'm just lost." Hinata gave a soft hum and crouched by him.
"Is that game fun?" The teen kept fidgeting.
"Umm not really. Just trying to pass the time." He looked down and away from the curious teen.
"You play volleyball?" Hinata remarked and the other boy looked at him oddly while Hinata pointed out his gym bag. "I saw your shoes, they're for volleyball right?"
The two toned teen gave a soft affirmation to the question.
"I'm in volleyball too. I'm Hinata Shoyo. So, what's your name?" Hinata asked as the other teen nervously squirmed.
"Kozume." Hinata cocked his head to the side a moment.
"Is that your first name?" He kept watching the cat like gaze flicker back and forth.
"No it's Kenma. Kenma Kozume." Hinata was smiling wide and it only made the other boy blush.
"What's your year? I'm a first year!" Hinata was proud.
"Second." The pair fell into easy conversation with Kenma observing the red haired teen quietly.
"Ahh an upperclassmen sorry!" Kenma shrugged off the apology.
"I don't really mind, don't really like the age based hierarchy stuff." Hinata hummed softly while Kenma focused back on his phone.
"Do you like volleyball?" Kenma paused a moment and shook his head.
"No, I play it cause it's there. I don't mind it but I hate getting tired out. My inner pack mates all play though and they need me to play with them. I'm only playing through high school though." Hinata smiled gently and settled to the side of the teen but noticed three sets of teeth marks on his slender neck hidden by hair and his collar.
"What position do you play?" Hinata was excited meeting another omega not on his team.
"Setter." Kenma flushed a bit happy a little that another omega took an interest in him. Most others wrote of his presence and aloofness ignoring him altogether. Kenma eyed the unblemished neck of the chatty boy and was thinking up many different things to tell his own mates.
Shouyo was bursting with internal glee. "You are nothing like our setter he's all grr and growly. Oh! I'm a middle blocker. Though I'm sure it's strange to see seeing as I'm short and all some people think it's strange."
"Hmm yeah, I guess so, but people say the same about me. I'm not very athletic and yet I'm on a volleyball team. Though I guess it's not me who's good, but my team is good." Kenma finally looked up at Hinata who observed him quietly.
"What school do you-"
"Kenma." Hinata was interrupted from asking his question by a tall teen with black hair that fell over part of his face. He kind of looked like he had a serious case of bed head. He was leering at Hinata but his gaze fell to the other omega lovingly. They both looked at Hinata with interest though as if they already communicated to one another that they wanted the bubbly boy. It was flattering from a stranger Hinata supposed but still flushed under the attention.
"Kuroo." Kenma spoke softly and stood to join him. The taller of the two grabbed his hand and Hinata figured this had to be one of the teens mates. Kenma turned back a small smile on his face. "See you later Shouyo."
Then the two teens were gone leaving Hinata to wonder why he phrased his goodbye that way.
"Hinata! We've been looking for you, your mates are kind of freaking out you know." Hinata turned to greet Suga who gently began to jog back the way they came. Asahi was waving to them from down the hill keeping a protective eye on them in the distance. It was likely to give them space to talk. Hinata blushed and immediately began apologizing about going missing.
Suga waved him off and the pair started to follow Asahi on the jog back to the team.
They ran in silence for a moment and Suga spoke up. "You always give your all in practice don't you."
"Yeah, but I need more practice." Hinata spoke shocking Suga a moment. "I still need to improve. It's frustrating I don't get treated like a real player unless I'm paired up with Kageyama. I still want to be in the game and play, to stand on the court." Suga stopped running making Hinata stop as well.
"Same here. I also want to stand on the court. It's why I fight using my own methods. Let's go or we'll be late for lunch!" Suga began running with Hinata right at his side.
Though on their return Hinata was promptly scolded by his beta and tried to ignore his alphas who were looking him over as well. All his mates were practically hovering over him taking turns to affirm he was safe. Hinata was trying to will away the flush realizing they were scenting him in between their search.
Later that day they were given their uniforms and Hinata was happy to note he was given the same number as the little giant he so idolized. His eyes practically sparkled making Tsukishima frown and Kageyama scoff over his gushing. Yamaguchi was jealous as well, but he just hid it better. That too led to another impromptu scenting session from his mates
~W.U.T.S~
The next day they got to face Nekoma only for Hinata to recognize one of the omegas on the opposing team. Hinata immediately launched into greeting Kenma who was on the opposite team with bright exuberance making Kuroo practically coo at his mates shy interaction with another Omega.
The two omega's were chatting until a dominating teen with a blonde mohawk surged forward.
"Hey, what business do you got with our setter." The older boy's eyes immediately fell to the nervous red haired omegas collar, and he immediately flushed and melted looking down at the cute boy who was a stuttering mess.
Tanaka though charged up immediately protecting the small middle blocker on their team. Despite him not being his mate Tanaka felt omega's and women deserved to be protected and handled delicately.
"What business you got with our first year huh?" Tanaka was glaring at the opposing teen pushing Hinata behind his form protectively.
Before either idiot could get into it they were stopped by Suga and a smaller teen, the libero from Neckoma Yaku, sporting soft summer orange hair small high and a tall attitude. They immediately began scolding the boys then apologized to one another.
The mohawk teen who Kenma called Yamato was along with his mate's part of Kenma's community. Yaku who was a beta their libero and speaking to Suga was one of Kenma's and Kuroo's mates along with a first year who would not be at the practice match.
Yamato though was currently weeping over the beautiful female manager they had and their pretty omegas. Mostly over the red head who was just so pretty it was almost to the point of distraction.
Everyone was hurried in by the suddenly at war captains of each team and set to warm up and line up for their practice match. Inuoka from Nekoma immediately zeroed in on the small omega surprised at his position.
"You're tiny!" He spoke immediately affronting the omega in question.
"Are you mocking me?" Hinata was set to be upset but the earnest boy only smiled.
"No, I'm not." Hinata immediately brightened and Kageyama scoffed making his mate flinch and internally apologize.
They began their match and right off the bat Hinata immediately shocked everyone when he and Kageyama did their freak quick. Kenma observed the small middle blocker and when a time out was called, he gave observations to his team. He did agree with his coach though, if Hinata were to spread his wings he could become a greater threat than he was currently.
Karasuno did end up losing the practice game, but the omega had immediately caught Kenma's and Kuroo's interest. It had been unexpected, and their mate Yaku was off on the phone yelling at their last mate.
"Ne kitten, I think I've found a baby bird I want to play with." Kuroo spoke and his mate frowned at him.
"Stop being a pervert for five seconds please." Kenma spoke walking away. Tsukishima took this moment to observe his mate who was speaking in what had to be idiot language with the middle blocker who had spoken to Hinata before the match.
He observed how the teen eyed Hinata's collared but unmarked neck and frowned to himself. Soon they were leaving to finally return to the student dorms.
Tsukishima hesitated after their return home. He had wanted to ask if Hinata wanted to sleep in the bedroom. He wasn't in his heat room though and Yamaguchi was in the shower preparing for bed.
He found Kageyama using Hinata as a stuffed toy on the couch. The pair were fast asleep, and Tsukishima felt a flush color his cheeks as he watched two of his mates snuggled together. Jolting out of the thought he left the room to find a smiling Yamaguchi clean and fresh prepared for bed. Tsukishima tugged Tadashi into the bedroom and curled up refusing to let the beta escape affection.
Tsukishima really wished he could have found a way to trick his two idiots into sharing a room. His instincts were starting to wear him down as it seemed to begin doing with Kageyama. Tsukishima knew the outburst of emotions as of late had to be because they were mates, but he could not help it, none of them could.
Their entire beings literally called to one another, and it was starting to bug him. Tsukishima plotted all the way into slumber.
~W.U.T.S~
The days passed and finally the inter-high matches were starting up. Everyone observed Hinata who seemed to be looking around excitedly. Alphas and betas we practically pouring out their pheromones toward the oblivious and pretty omega who was being tugged alongside his beautiful team manager.
Noya and Tanaka overheard a few guys whispering about approaching either of them to ask them out. Noya and Tanaka spurred into action growling and glaring at anyone looking at their precious manager and innocent omega of the group until Kiyoko smacked them to stop.
Hinata was immediately crowded by his mates put in the middle of all three who glared at anyone who dared press forward.
They moved forward the entire team until they were stopped by a towering teenager with no eyebrows and ice white hair. He was silent and merely pointed at Asahi. From their uniforms they all observed they were from Date Tech. The first years knew the history here. This was the team that had taken down their sempai's the year previous and beat down Asahi's confidence.
A small teen shuffled forward immediately apologizing and scolding the teen until he asked for help from a teen named Futakuchi. A tall teen with light brown hair and a handsome face moved forward to help push the silent teens arm down.
"Sorry Aone has a habit of singling out a teams ace." The pair pushed the tall teens arm down successfully. "Be prepared to lose, no hard feelings though, right cupcake." Futakuchi spoke the last bit looking straight at Hinata who was immediately tucked further into hiding by his mates.
The Date tech team turned to leave but not before Futakuchi smirked down at the tiny red haired omega of the group and blew him a kiss.
Soon after that as they were preparing to go in their first match everyone observed Hinata freaking out. Kageyama was immediately concerned…for the back of his head that was.
They sought out Asahi's advice as the man seemed pretty serene in the moment.
Asahi offered up some advice. "Think of an experience that scared you more than anything, scarier the better."
Hinata immediately fell into thought until the image of a frozen smiling Kageyama appeared in his head and he was soon at peace with his fear. Kageyama didn't know what it was but he felt like Hinata wasn't thinking kindly of him in that moment.
They moved to warm up in the gym only to hear a familiar voice.
"Tobio chan, Chibi chan having fun with your freak combination?" Oikawa smirked from the bleachers his mate smacking his hand as he was greeting them. Iwaizumi eyed Hinata for a long moment before tugging away his idiot mate. It made Hinata blush and Kageyama huff but got the small middle blocker out of his nervousness entirely.
The match began making many people confused seeing the delicate looking omega on the court.
"Eh he's not a manger. He's got to be barely pushing 5'5 they have taller players on the bench." Hinata ignored the words intently focused.
Kageyama calculated each play having both Tanaka and Asahi make a point and grumbled looking into his omegas pleading eyes.
"Shut up! I know!" He yelled at his mate who only smiled back at him. Tanaka was up to serve and in a quick flush of movements Hinata was soaring high and slamming down a spike drawing attention from everyone in the gym.
It wasn't their quick, but it did showcase Hinata's amazing jumping abilities along with his mobility. The match was quick despite all doubts that Karasuno were fallen champions they had won against Tokonami High and let the team keep their dignity while at it.
Iwaizumi groaned softly eyeing the small omega and his mate chirped softly. "I'm losing my stupid control around the kid." Iwaizumi spoke and allowed his mate to lean against him.
"It's because your body wants an omega, since ours refused our bond, you want one that would be loyal to use. Instincts Iwa chan, they don't steer us wrong. It doesn't help that this omega has Kageyama who I have a sore history with." They both turned back to the team before Iwaizumi pulled back collecting himself.
"We got a match to play if we want a chance to play against them again. Let's go." Seijoh left to go to their match while two of them held thoughts about a flame haired omega.
Futakuchi practically drooled in eager excitement catching glimpses of the pretty omega. One of his mates Aone too watched the small middle blocker and they were both eager to play against Karasuno.
"When we win I'm going to ask cupcake for his number Aone." A single nod was given in response and the two eagerly watched the small boy being tucked into his setters hold. Being nearly dragged out of the gym.
They couldn't wait and would enjoy watching their cupcake up close.
Good luck Karasuno, you are going to need it.
