Summary
He had texted Kageyama, at first, telling him all about the new world he found himself in. And Kageyama had texted back—but there was so much to do and see, and without the other boy in front of him, Hinata found it hard to remember why they were texting in the first place. Hinata’s texts became less frequent, and Kageyama did nothing to stop it; he never mentioned it.
The distance grew.
Hinata learned to stop staring at his empty phone screen late at night, aimlessly refreshing his messages, waiting for Kageyama to text him. He learned to stop thinking about black hair and blue eyes every time the ball came soaring his way on the court, focusing instead on his teammates who were there in front of him. They needed him, and Kageyama clearly didn’t.
The distance grew.
The sound of Kageyama’s voice faced. His face got blurry in Hinata’s mind, unrecognizable. Maybe the goodbye had been just that—a goodbye. A Permanent thing. Hinata stopped thinking about the “I’ll miss you,” quiet like a confession.
The distance grew and grew until there wasn’t much more growing it could do.
They hadn’t spoken in months.
Hinata was here, and Kageyama was there, and they weren’t a team anymore.
