Chapter Text
Kuro and Kenma were out in town to buy some things for their mothers. Theyère family were really close and they were going to have a party soon so they went on a errand for them even though both of them didnèt want to go out. The winter cold was very strong in Tokyo but of course their mothers want their child to suffer while they are inside.
"Are these what they wanted?" Kuro asked as he looked over his shoulder but saw his childhood was busy playing his video game. "Your supposed to help, you know."
"I am. I'm playing and helping at the same time."
"Is that so?" Kuro couldn't believe Kenma but that was him so he couldn't do anything about that.
The two got out of the shop after they had brought everything on the list.
"Kuroo and pudding head."
"Pudding head?" Kenma didn't like that name.
"Well if it isn't Bokuto." Kuro as well as Kenma didn't expect the two to see Fukurodani's ace and captain.
"What you two doing?"
"Running errands." Kuro said as he held out the bags they were carrying.
"You didn't need to show me that."
"I thought you would be stupid that you wouldn't know." Kuro smirked.
"Oh Shut up!" Bokuto snarled.
Kenma looked up at Bokuto and Kuro for a slight second and went back to his game.
"Can you at least be interested in something other then that game of yours?"
"Nothing has gotten me interest at the moment." Kenma said in a deadpan voice.
"I'll walk with you guys till the station." Bokuto said.
The three walked toward the station but then Kuro stopped half-way. He saw a familiar mop of orange hair and the figure looked small from the behind.
"Why did you suddenly stop?" Kenma asked, looking up.
"I thought I saw something that looked like chibi-chan."
"Why would the shrimp be here?" Bokuto asked.
"I agree with Bokuto-san. Hinata could get lost since he doesn't know Tokyo well."
"That's true. It was probably somebody that looked like him from behind."
The three continued toward the station.
The station was packed with a lot of crowd. It was a weekday so it's no wonder and it was also the winter break so a lot of people want to go out and buy stuff when they have the break, especially the students since they have nothing better to do at home but most don't like going out like Kuro and Kenma.
"Well I'll see you two around." Bokuto waved goodbye to Kuro and Kenma first since his train had arrived.
"Bokuto, that lucky bastard."
"I'm cold." Kenma mumbled.
Both could feel the cold wind around them. Everybody were dressed in winter coats and boots. Winter was something Kuro hated very much. Tokyo in winter was harsh and wished it would go away.
"Mom, why are we going ahead?" Kuro turned and saw a little girl and mother talking. The little girl looked just like the chibi-chan with the orange hair and those brown eyes that sometimes looked bright orange.
"Your brother has other things to do so he will come later." The mother told her daughter.
The mother was holding onto the little girl's hand. It was a nice sight to see.
"But Sho-chan could get lost."
"Don't worry your brother is capable to handling himself." The mother said cheery. "Probably." She mumbled in low tone with an hesitation look.
"They are probably talking about somebody else."
Kuro was thinking it was Hinata but there was no way that Hinata would be here without the karasuno team.
"Kuro our train is here." Kenma said.
The two walked in and in the corner of Kuro's eyes he saw the little girl and her mother had got into the same train as they did.
Kuro and Kenma said their goodbye when they were close to their homes. They lived close but their houses were still far apart.
~****~
The following day the nekoma team had practice. Even though they were on holiday it didn't mean that they had the break from practice.
"Lev, do it again!" Yaku shouted at the first year student. "Your receives suck."
"But Yaku-san I've been doing it all morning."
"Shut up!" Lev was looking exhausted from all the receives he was doing but Yaku wasn't going let the first year have a break.
"How scary?" Kuro mumbled as he saw what Yaku was doing to Lev.
"It's because he tried to run away this morning." Yamamoto said.
"Kenma-san, is something wrong?" Inuoka asked. "You keep staring at your phone."
"Shoyo hasn't replied back to me and he always replies right away."
"That is strange for chibi-chan." Kuro said.
"Maybe he's busy with practice like we are." Inuoka said. "I want to play volleyball with him again."
"Me too." Kenma smiled.
"It's so good to see Kenma smile like that so often." Yaku looked like he was about to cry.
"He doesn't often smile unless chibi-chan is involved." Kuro said.
The practiced continued and the team worked really hard.
After practice was finished the team went to change clothes. They were all in the changing room when a phone ringtone rang up, everybody checked to see if it was their phone.
"It's me." Yaku said as he looked at the collar Id.
"Suga-kun." Yaku said in surprised tone as he picked the call up. "It's odd for you to call. You usually just text me."
"I know but there's something I need to talk to you about."
"Sure. I'm all ears."
"You haven't seen Hinata there have you?" Suga asked.
"Why would be the chibi-chan be here in Tokyo?"
"Well...that's.."
The karasuno team were at the gym practicing like they usually did but Hinata was nowhere to be seen. It was the first time the first year had been late since he's always in time when it came to volleyball.
"Did you see Hinata?" Suga asked Kageyama who was in the same class as him.
"I did but he had left before I did."
"I saw him leave too." Yachi said.
"Where could he be?" Suga wonder as well as the rest of the teammates.
"I can go check if he's in the classroom." Yachi said as she ran toward the door but stopped. "Hinata-kun."
Hinata entered the room but he had a letter in his hand.
"Where have you been dumbass!" Kageyama yelled.
Hinata didn't say anything back like he always did when Kageyama called him that name.
"Hinata, what's wrong?" Daichi asked as he walked closer toward the first year.
Hinata then handed Daichi the letter that was in his hand. Daichi was shocked when he read large letters in the front of the letters
RESIGNATION
"Hinata, what are you thinking?"
"I'm sorry but this is how it has to be. I'm moving to Tokyo and also quitting volleyball."
The team was speechless.
Hinata turned around and left the gym.
Suga was the one who got out of the shock and ran after Hinata. He grabbed Hinata by the hand before he went farther away.
"What is the meaning of this?" Suga asked.
"It's what it is?"
"How can you say that when you love volleyball?"
"Senpai you have probably mistaken that about me. Me love volleyball it was all a lie." Hinata shoved Suga's hand away from him and started walking away again and this time Suga didn't follow Hinata.
"So that's what happened and he said he was moving to Tokyo."
"Yea. I know he wasn't himself when he appeared that day so I'm a bit worried so if you see him, take care of him."
"Got it."
When Yaku was done with his call he looked at his teammates. It looked they were curious to what happened as well since Yaku's face went serious just from a call from Suga.
"What happened?" Kuro asked.
Yaku then explained everything that Suga had told, yea they were shocked. Kenma was probably the most shocked and that explained why he hasn't messaged him back yet.
"That's not like Hinata!" Lev yelled, he can't believe that Hinata would say such things.
"I agree." Kenma said.
"Suga said that chibi-chan is in Tokyo." Yaku said.
Kuro then remembered the person with orange hair he saw. It could have really been Hinata that he saw but it could not as well be but now he knew that Hinata was in Tokyo.
Suddenly there was a small ring. Kenma looked at his phone and saw it was a message.
"Speak of the devil." Kuro said.
"What does it say?" Lev asked.
Kenma clicked on the message that read Hinata Shoyo.
Hinata Shoyou
Sorry that I haven't replied to you lately.
I have been busy lately but now I'm all settled.
I should have said something to you before I came but
I'm in Tokyo
Surprised
Kenma Kozume
It's fine. And I heard about you coming to Tokyo from Suga-san.
I was worried about you but I'm glad your okay
Hinata Shoyo
I'm getting my place set up at the moment so I won't be able to see
Until I'm all finished.
I'm also living on my own. My mom and Natsu came to help out but they went back.
Kuro looked surprised at the text as well as the others that were reading it from behind.
"He's living alone."
"Why?" Lev asked.
"Isn't that a bad thing?" Inuoka asked.
"Shut up!" Yaku glared at Lev.
"Why are you only yelling at me?" Lev whined, but Yaku ignored the first year.
"Meanie." Lev mumbled.
Kuro didn't know what was going on with Hinata but somehow he wanted to know if the former karasuno number ten would be okay. I mean he was living alone without his family far from home and why was he doing that, he didn't know the reason.
"Kenma ask him where he lives."
~****~
Hinata was placing all his things when he heard the doorbell ring. It surprised him since he didn't know anyone yet to greet him. Hinata quickly got up from what he was doing and walked toward the door. He opened it and boy was he surprised when he saw who it was.
"Kuro-san, Yaku-san and Kenma."
"Sorry for dropping by like this." Kenma said.
"Not a problem." Hinata said. "Come right inside. I'll make you guys some coffee since It's so cold out."
Kuro and Yaku saw the same bright smiling sunshine boy that they were used. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so why.
Hinata came back moments after with cup of coffee for the three.
"Did you hear from Suga-san?" Hinata asked, making both Kuro and Yaku almost spill the coffee they were drinking.
"Chibi-chan."
"Can we not talk about it?" He asked with a pleasing smile, and they couldn't refuse it.
"Shoyo. Isn't it lonely to live alone?"
"I don't know yet and it probably might be but I will have to get used to it." He smiled, like nothing was wrong.
"You live close to Kuro and me so feel free to let us know if you need any help." Kenma offered.
"Sure thing." He smiled.
"Team Nekoma is worried about you. When they heard about what happened from Suga-kun?"
"They shouldn't worry since I'm fine. Suga-senpai is worrying about nothing telling you guys."
"I'm glad your fine but it would reassure them if you shown up for one of our practices."
"Sure thing." Hinata said.
Kuro was still bit worried even though Hinata looked like himself, smiling but what was this feeling he got when he looked at Hinata. Something was wrong with him but Hinata didn't want to talk about so Kuro had to wait patient until Hinata wanted to tell everybody what was going on.
