Tanaka's Past Life

Chapter 13: Horseback Riding Part 2

Hello readers. The first week of school is almost over. I hope the weather would be nicer. It is too hot for my liking.

Kenma's POV

I was so invested in Kuroo's breakdown that I didn't quite notice the others also crying just as much as Kuroo. Oikawa was hugging Noya and Tanaka. Noya was hugging tightly onto Oikawa while Tanaka just embraced the hug but it already looked like he finished crying already. 

"Ryu, thank you for trusting us. It must have been a traumatic experience. We are all here for you. If you want to let it out tell us any time."-Oikawa

I had no clue what Oikawa was talking about but I got the gist of it. 

Tanaka walked up to Kuroo and just patted his back. No words were needed at that moment. His eyes looked melancholic and gentle. All of Nekoma just didn't know how to handle this situation not even me.

Kuroo hardly shows his real emotions to people including me. It is hard to tell the thoughts Kuroo will be thinking at that moment. He just brushes it off as nothing happened. He is so strong physically and mentally that is why he was picked captain of this team. He is a natural leader. 

He stopped crying. He stood up and smiled. 

"I am alright now so no need to worry. Sorry for showing you such a state." 

"Ku-chan let's go back. I don't feel like eating and neither are the rest of us. Ryu we will be staying at your place. I know there is more but I will put it off for another time."-Oikawa

Kuroo smiled at all of us placed a hand on each of our shoulders. Signaling us to forget the scene we just witnessed. I couldn't believe it. Kuroo why are you always like this? 

Everyone returned and ate quietly. A lot of them witnessed something they could not comprehend. 

"Noya sent us a video of Tanaka riding a horse as proof. Let's watch it maybe it would lift some of our spirits. Coach is there a projector in this facility?"-Sugawara-san

"Yes, there is one in the film club's room. It is on the second floor at the very end of the hall."-Karasuno Coach 

Everyone was curious about the video so we walked to the film club's room. The Karasuno coach set up everything and now Sugawara-san connected his phone. The video started to play. 

Everyone was in awe at the sight. Tanaka-san looked so free while riding the horse.

"Wow, the dummy could actually ride a horse. When did he even learn how to?"-Tsukishima 

"Tsukki don't be rude."-Yamaguchi

"Shut up Yamaguchi. He isn't even here."-Tsukishima

"Gomen Tsukki."-Yamaguchi

"I have never seen Tanaka-senpai this happy. He looked so free."-Hinata

"Now that you think about it we hardly know Tanaka at all. We recently know that he could compose songs and now horseback riding."-Daichi-senpai

"I am worried Daichi. He has been acting strange lately. He is definitely hiding something."-Sugawara-senpai

I hear whispering. I looked to see Oikawa's childhood friend talking to the guy with pink hair and the guy who looks like the twin of Oikawa's childhood friend. 

"Should we tell them what we heard?"Pink haired dude

"No, we shouldn't it is called a secret for a reason."-Twin 

"But it was the reason for them breaking down crying."-The childhood friend

I wanted to know why Kuroo was crying. I am not someone to speak up but if it was for Kuroo I don't mind.
