5th February

no one's POV

The team watched as the ball of sunshine and their setter enter the gym. As usual, Hinata was rambling on about volleyball while his best friend listened as he went to the nearest Volleyball. However, something just felt off about their little tangerine? There was just something about him they couldn't point out. They all just shrugged it off and assumed they were just overthinking

suga's POV

'Hinata's wearing long sleeves again?' I questioned as the duo walked into the gym. I decided not to question it. Maybe hinata was self conscious or something, I didn't want to pry.

~time skip~

We were doing spiking practice when I noticed red at the corner of my eye. My eyes widened when I realised it was coming from a bandage underneath a long sleeves shirt. It was Hinata.. he looked like he was panicking? Why?
"Hinata what happened to your arm? Are u alright? You're bleeding, want me to help?" It was a simple question but I noticed he seemed.. nervous?
"a-ah d-don't worry senpai I uh fell onto some glass on the way to school I'm okay! Hehe" He laughed it off with a closed eyed smile as he rubbed his neck, attempting to laugh it off. It was suspicious. I decided to let it slide but I just felt like I had to keep a close watch.

Something's not right.

I glanced at daichi making sure Hinata wasn't aware of it. We nodded at each other and decided to give him his space.
"Okay then take care of it properly. Make sure to keep a look out for infections ya?"
"HAI"

~after practice in the locker room~

I decided to wait till Hinata was gone as he usually left earlier than all of us. He always did change before we enter. I decided it was a good time to ask kageyama.
"Kageyama, did you notice something strange on the way to school? In practice I noticed Hinata's arms were wrapped in bandages and one of them bled through. He said he fell onto some glass on the way to school. Did you see it happen?" At this point the entire Volleyball club was listening to the conversation, worry evident in their eyes.

"I don't think so? He looked neat and I was with him most of the time but he was spaced out. I did notice the tear stains on his cheeks though." my eyes widened. 'He couldn't be..doing that.. right ? No...'

"Kageyama I need you to keep a close eye on him. I won't say why but please just keep an eye on him. Mother's instincts ya know?" I decided to get rid of the tension by joking around even though on the inside I was worried beyond words. He just looked at me with a raised brow and nodded before going back to what he was doing.

The rest decided it wasn't the best time to pry and gave both of us some space, which I appreciated. Saying I was worried was an understatement. I was feeling so many emotions. I was terrified. I knew something was off the day he walked into the gym to join the club. He's my amazing junior and teammate. I just truly hope he's okay.

no one's POV

Time flew by quickly. Soon it was the end of the day. The team was packing up as they said their goodbye's to one another. Some agreeing to stay behind to clean up. Some making plans on where to get their after-training snack. Something was strange though. Usually Hinata was willing to have some after- training hangouts but today he just walked off, muttering a quiet 'bye'. The team took notice of it and glanced at each other in worry but chose not to question it, also taking note of the unusual action.

However the same thought crossed everyone's mind.
Something's wrong.
the team all made an agreement to keep an eye on the ball of sunshine. He was the light of the team that brought so much joy. Even though they all only recently bonded as a team, they truly did love and trust one another. Now it was their turn to help him.
