Runaway (Ushijima Wakatoshi X Hinata Shoyo)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Kid Wanderer and his Look Alike

After that phone call where Ushijima probably heard Akihiko's voice, Hinata didn't know what to feel. A part of him wants to say "Well he's a friend now. Might as well tell him I have a son". But he's considering the fact that it might get awkward that he says it quite late.

But Ushijima has to know. He'll accept me as his friend even though I have a child right? Nonetheless if Ushijima chose to be awkward, he's going to choose Aki over Ushijima.

Why was he thinking this way anyway? Of course he'll be my friend. He's not the type to leave a friend just because they have a child, right?

But he wants him to like Aki too.

Hinata buried his face. All this conflict in his head is stupid. So he decided to just sleep it off and think about it the next day.

Morning came and as usual, Hinata goes straight to their gym. Bringing Akihiko cause he wants to watch his father play volleyball. And at such a young age of two, the kid is showing akin to the sport. Hinata finds Aki sometimes doing posture of someone recieving a ball. Or imitating Atsumu's sets. Or Sakusa's spikes (Hinata found out Akihiko saw how Sakusa's wrist bend in awkward angle. And Aki said it was so cool).

While the team are engaged in a practice game, Akaashi Keiji, former setter of Fukurodani Academy, entered the gym and stood next to Akihiko. (Which immidiately jumped to the formers arms) Bokuto seemingly hyped up seeing his boyfriend that he actually spiked the ball too hard. Akihiko claps his little hands and pointed at Bokuto "Grandpa Owl so coooool"

Bokuto beamed at what he have heard from the little brunette and shouted "HEY HEY HEY! OF COURSE IM COOL! WHO'S THE COOLEST GRANDPA?!"

Akihiko answered enthusiastically, matching Bokuto's energy with his shouts "YOU GRANDPA OWL! YOU ARE! RIGHT GRANDPA 'KAASHI?!"

Akaashi giggled and kissed Akihiko's chubby cheeks. "Yes Aki. You're Grandpa is so cool."

Bokuto ran to the benches and suddenly hugged Akaashi with Aki in their middle. "HEY HEY HEY!" Bokuto and Aki shouted in unison

Hinata seeing it all chuckled. Bokuto and Akaashi seems to be fond of Aki too much that he's being spoiled by the two. He's not complaining though as he knew Akaashi knew their limits.

Atsumu joined the three playing with Akihiko as  their coach announced break. Sakusa walked to the bench, sneaking a glance on the fake blond setter from time to time. Meian, Tomas and Inunaki watched their teammates play with Akihiko. Hinata decided to go to the washroom for a while.

But when he came back, he saw panicked face of his mentor and Akaashi. Atsumu running of the gym as if looking for something, Sakusa trailing behind the setter. Meian Tomas and Inunaki was hesitant on telling something to Hinata.

And as he walked closer, he knew what's wrong without asking anyone.

Ushijima ask for a day off as his bestfriend, Tendou Satori (which arrived the other day from Paris) to look for a perfect place to open the former guess blocker's chocolate shop.

"Say Wakatoshi, Have you confessed to Karasuno's number 10 yet?" Tendou leaned over to Ushijima curiously. Sometimes, Ushijima finds his bestfriend very annoying. And this is one of those times. He didn't want to actually feel pressured about confessing his feelings to Hinata. But everytime Tendou asked him that question, or Reon, or Goshiki (which he knows perfectly who to blame why they knew already), he's feeling like he has to do it already.
