-----Next morning-----
Hinata POV
"-ke up guys, hello? For fucks sake WAKE UP!" I woke up from knocks on the door and the irritated voice of Daichi, wincing at the bright light that shone through the curtains. "IF YOU DON'T GET UP AND ANSWER ME, I'M GOING TO DRAG YOU OUT OF BED MYSELF". Daichi sounded so pissed off standing at the other side of that door. "Yeahyeah Daichi, we're awake. Don't worry, we'll be down in ten minutes."
After I finally heard Daichi's footsteps disappear in the hallway, I turned around to look at Tsukishima who was still sleeping. Tsukishima laid on his stomach, arms underneath his pillow and his head turned to the right. The rays of sunshine that I hated just now suddenly became my best friend. They shone across the room while hitting Tsukishima's features perfectly. The look of him lying there so peacefully instead of irritating all the time made him look like an angel. He looked quite cute, actually. 'Wait.' I looked away from Tsukishima the moment that thought entered my mind. 'Why the fuck did I think he looks cute?'
That thought was for another time to think about, right now I need to make sure Tsukishima is awake and ready before Daichi kills us both. I calmly shook his shoulders and whispered that he needed to wake up. It didn't take long before he finally opened his eyes. "Hmm? Shrimp what time is it?" He asked with his groggy morning voice. Ignoring once again how cute he was in the morning, I finally answered him, "It's 7:35, Daichi wants us downstairs for breakfast in ten minutes so hurry up." Tsukishima let out a deep sigh and sat up from the bed. "Well, we better get changing."
We changed into our clothes for the day and went downstairs where Daichi and the others were waiting for us. Tanaka started speaking first "Finally, you guys sure took your time, now I can eat the deliciously prepared food Kiyoko made for us." "Sorry Tanaka-Senpai, won't happen again." I said with a goofy smile. We both sat down at the table and started to eat with the rest of the team. We discussed the plans for the day, apparently, we'll be going to various ancient temples around Tokyo and learn more about the history of the places. It sounded like a lot of fun since I have never actually seen such things.
When we were done eating the delicious breakfast Kiyoko-San made for us we got into the bus. Of course, Kageyama and Yamaguchi sat next to each other, so I had to sit next to Tsukishima again. This time I didn't mind. Since it was a little less than an hour to drive to the first location, I put in my headphones again and started to play some music and started staring out of the window and looking at the pretty things we see on the way. After a while, I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned around and saw that Tsukishima was looking at me in... Adoration? I don't know, he looked at me in a way I can't really explain. It made me feel warm and fuzzy. I turned around to look out of the window again and got lost in my thoughts about nothing and everything.
Time flew by and we arrived at the first temple. "Whaa, it's so pretty" I said, not specifically to anyone. I took out my phone to take pictures for later. "Okay guys, stand around me." Daichi said. After everyone stood around Daichi, he started to talk about the temple's history like some kind of tour guide. "You guys can look at the temple for a while, be back in about 30 minutes and don't be late and remember to stay respectful."
Everyone started to make small groups and went to explore the temples. Tsukishima, Kageyama, Yamaguchi and I formed a group and went into the temple. We made a quick prayer together and started exploring. It looked so cool inside. We all took a few minutes to take pictures and adore the structure, after that we went outside and sat on a bench not too far away from the bus.
Yamaguchi started talking, "Sooo Hinata, Tsuki, you guys are awfully friendly to each other, since when are you guys friends?" Kageyama looked curious too but didn't say much. I didn't know what to say, I couldn't tell them we felt lonely since they started dating and started being friends because of that, or the fact that I am so depressed that Tsukishima had to stop me from harming myself and that it somehow brought us closer. While getting lost in a train of thoughts I felt panic settling in. My breathing got heavier and my nervousness rose. Tsukishima noticed I think,"Yeaah, yesterday evening we started talking and both realized that we aren't that different from each other I guess." He said while shrugging. His answer calmed me down a bit and I mentally thanked him a lot. "Took you guys locked in a room together to start talking to each other like normal people?" Tsukishima looked at Yamaguchi with an "are you serious?" Look. "maybe". We all laughed at Tsukishima's answer.
After that talk, we talked a lot more with each other until we went to the next locations. Time flew by and we were already on the way back to the hotel. We had a bit of time to take a shower and put on a change of clothes. Tsukishima and I walked to our room and went inside. I let myself fall onto my bed and I let out a loud sigh. "I'm so tired", "me too shrimp, is it alright if I shower first?" I didn't mind him showering first; it gave me time to relax a little bit before going to the group again. "No of course not, go shower". While Tsukishima went into the shower I decided to put in my headphones again and grab my sketchbook. Drawing is a hobby of mine not many people know about. I grabbed my phone with the pictures I made today and decided to use those as a reference for my drawing. Drawing is one of the things that helps me regain myself after a long day.
I started sketching the outside of the temple first, the different levels of the building, the golden accessories, rooftiles, the pillars, and it all came together. I liked the idea of us being shown in the drawing with the temple as well. I'm not that good at drawing people but still tried my best to do so. Eventually I had it all sketched out. I grabbed my markers and filled everything with colors, the same way they showed in the picture. After a few minutes I was finally able to say I was proud of my work and closed my book. Right at that time Tsukishima came out of the shower with just shorts on and a towel around his shoulders. 'damn' I thought. "Hinata, you can shower." "Alright," I grabbed the things I needed for my shower and went to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom, I first took my pills because otherwise I would forget to take them. Then i started to undress myself. I looked into the mirror and the only thing I saw was some skinny ginger kid; I hated it. Thoughts started racing through my head, and it only made me feel more insecure about myself. Without realizing it, I started slowly scratching my arm, more and more. Not until it was too late, I realized what I had done. My arm was scratched open, small blood drops forming and slowly dripping to the ground. "Fuck" It wasn't fair of me, Tsukishima helped me so much yesterday and here I am hurting myself again. It was time I just stepped into the shower and got out as if nothing happened but I'm sure he will find out, after all, he isn't stupid.
Tsukishima Pov
I got out of the shower and saw Shoyo looking at me with some kind of look in his eyes. Must be because I'm standing Infront of him with only shorts. I mentally smirked at his reaction and told him he could shower.
After he got into the shower, I saw a book on his bed with "sketchbook" written on it. I put on some clothes and went to the book on his bed. After debating with myself if I should look into it or not, curiosity got the best of me and I opened it. The first page was a drawing of a girl version of Hinata, 'must be his sister or something'. It was a good drawing; every page I turned showed a bit of progression. Beautiful drawings of the most random things that most people won't even notice; he drew them. All in detail, almost as if it was a printed picture. At one point he stopped flipping the pages and stared for a moment. 'That's definitely me'. Again, all the details were drawn perfectly. I don't know when or why he decided to draw this, but it must have been recently. But why would he draw me? Somehow it gave me a bubbly feeling I can't really explain, so I flipped the pages until I came to the drawing of today. 'It's so pretty'. A small smile crept on my face as I looked at the mini versions of us in the drawing.
I snapped out of my daze when I heard the bathroom door open. I quickly closed the book and put it in the same place where I found it to not raise any suspicion. "You ready to eat, Hinata?" I looked up at Hinata and saw him standing in his PJ's. He looked so cute I had to hold in a smile. "Tsukki, is it alright if I pass dinner? I just want to sleep." Okay, that was it. Sleepy Hinata was just the cutest thing ever. "Y- Yeah it's no problem, I will tell the others. Go to sleep." "You're amazing Tsukki." Were the final words he said, he laid in his bed and almost immediately fell asleep.
