It was a sunny day in Myagi with not a cloud in the sky. Any person would actually call it hot and not very pleasant. One of those people being Hinata Shoyo, who was walking home from volleyball practice. Hinata thought it would be a normal day like any other as he walked home, but fate seemed to want to prove him wrong.
You see, on this unpleasant muggy day, two friends decided to meet up for a study session after a grueling practice game going against eachother. These friends were Tendou Satori and Iwaizumi Hajime. An unlikely pair, I know, which is why they’ve kept their friendship a secret.
(Well, not only because their teams would freak out, but because of how they became friends in the first.)
Ain’t unrequited love a bitch~?
On this day, somehow, Hinata stumbled upon these two unlikely friends. You see, instead of walking home immediately after practice, for some reason, Hinata decided to loiter by the school. And by loitering by the school, he saw these two walking side by side. If he was a person with a sense of self preservation, he would've stayed silent, but no. Hinata is not that kind of person.
"Seijoh's Ace? And Shiratorizawa's Geuss Monster?"
Upon hearing such an annoyingly familiar voice, Tendou and Iwaizumi both turned around in horror to see Karasano's #10 standing there.
"Oh, fuck." Iwaizumi swore.
There was a tense silence as the three of them looked at each other, wondering who would take the first step. On instinct, and full of desperation, Iwaizumi decided to fuck it and tried grabbing the tiny orange, who let out a yelp and raced down the road, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
"What the heck, Haijme?" Tendou grabbed Iwaizumi's shoulder, stopping him from further chasing Hinata.
"He'll tell everyone we're friends, dickhead!" Iwaizumi yelled.
"Oh fuck." Tendou said, letting go of Iwaizumi and joining him in the chase.
As mentioned earlier, Tendou and Iwaizumi were friends, but they didn't tell anyone because then they'd have to explain why they're friends and they can't do that. Telling both of their teams that they have unrequited crushes on the captains wouldn't go down very well.
(And they were both in denial that it wasn't really as unrequited as they thought, but shush)
They lost precious time earlier, but Tendou managed to get on the shrimp's heels. "Come here, you tangerine-!" He yelped, crashing into something at full speed as Hinata dodged him.
Hinata yelped, dodging Tendou's attempt at grabbing him. He turned right sharply, not paying attention to where he was going. "Omph!" He crashed, bouncing off Iwaizumi as the ace grabbed him and held him still.
"Now we got you-!"
"Iwa-chan?"
"Iwaizumi?"
Iwaizumi blinked in horror, slowly turning around and letting go of Hinata, who yelped as he dropped to the floor. He didn't notice while they were running, but they had accidentally chased Hinata to Seijoh where an annoyed Owikawa and Ushijima were still at after the practice game earlier.
"Haijme, did you get-...fuck." Tendou drew their attention to him, as he finally caught up, a bruise forming on his face from where he crashed into a wall.
"Satori?" Ushijima looked at Tendou wounded like he just kicked a puppy.
"Iwa-chan. What are you doing with Ten-chan....chasing Karasano's #10?" Oikawa asked sharply, narrowing his eyes at his friend.
"Heh, funny story..."
