[Shadow Day] If a crow were to fly a light year

"Senior Tiantong, if you don't have class this afternoon, come to the gymnasium and teach me to block the net!"

"Little monster, you really... go to bother others. Mutu's school is not far from here, and Yinju's cockscomb head is also in Tokyo."

"Please——for a while, I won't practice when it gets dark, and I will give seniors the discount coupons I got from my previous part-time job. The crab roe sushi in that restaurant is super delicious."

In the end, a dessert coupon was added to the price before the transaction was made.Tendo was too lazy to change into his sportswear, so he found a spot on the edge of the gymnasium to watch Hinata and the others practice on their own, and occasionally verbally adjusted Hinata's blocking posture.The little monster has almost strict requirements on himself in terms of reaction speed, saying that it is "to allow time for the take-off process that is longer than others, even 0.01 seconds is fine."Tendo remembered the first time Hinata blocked him from saying this at the door of the classroom, holding a volleyball in his hand, his whole body was filled with irritability that could not be adjusted, and he was really aggressive like a little monster.

He understood that leaving suddenly from the colorful paradise was like being blown by the wind after sweating, it was so cold that one could catch a cold.Tendo thought that one day Hinata would be like him, and understood that the end of youth is the real turning point, and the separation of partners is the real separation, but he didn't expect that the little monster's heart is actually so hard, and it has not been a little bit after two years of grinding. blunt.

What's even more frightening is that there are still people with him.At dusk, Kageyama, wearing a hat, appeared panting at the entrance of the gymnasium with two bottles of sports drinks. Tendo blinked and realized that Hinata's words "I won't practice when it gets dark" meant that I was going on a date with Kageyama.

"Hi." Kageyama greeted him.

Hinata was still engrossed in volleyball, jumping around and talking louder than anyone else, and didn't notice Kageyama at all.The little monster's jumping posture was as light as a bird's flight, Kageyama stared at Hinata's spike from a distance, his eyes were full of obsessive light like looking up at a flying bird.Tendo next to him saw his pupils dilated with excitement, and suddenly said, "You know, I agreed to teach Hinata to block the net at first, but it wasn't out of good intentions."

"……what?"

"It's actually a little observation experiment by Mr. Curious Tiantongjue." Tiantong silently touched the scar left on his finger from playing volleyball in the past, "I really want to see when people like you who are like perpetual motion machines will have such Kind of like, 'Well, I tried my best'."

Kageyama looked puzzled as if he was listening to an alien language.

"Forget it." Tiantong spread his hands, "Your understanding is really a natural match with the little monster."

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean..." Kageyama looked at Tendo, "But I think the reason why you said 'Xinghai is Hyuga plus', senior, or that one day Hinata will say 'Well, I tried my best' Such words——

"Maybe it's because I don't know Hinata that well yet."

As expected of a junior from Karasuno, he has full skill points in terms of provocation.Tendo thought.This kid probably didn't realize how proud and condescending he was when he said this.He was choked up, and just in time for the volleyball practice to come to an end, the sweaty Hinata ran over with the ball in his arms, and said to Kageyama noisily, "You're finally here, so slow."

So, sorry.Kageyama bowed to Tendo, stuffed the towel into the mouth of the noisy Hinata, and carried him out of the gymnasium.

Winter in Tokyo is also very cold.When Hinata went out, she shivered, but her body was hot with excitement.Even though they'd been together for three years in high school, they'd gone out on one hand as seriously as they could, so the word "dating" was new to him.I can't see clearly at night, and my courage to do various things will also increase.Whether it was the night illuminated by artificial lights, or Kageyama's hand that he secretly took, Hinata was very excited.He circled around Kageyama and kept asking, "Why are you wearing a hat? What are we going to do?" Kageyama pinched Hinata's dangling face, and took out a box from his backpack.

"what?"

"The glasses you left in my bag." Kageyama took out the glasses, wiped them off with his sleeve after a sigh, and gently put the gold wire frame on the bridge of Hinata's nose.

The cold glass was polished brightly, and Hinata was hot, so a small mist formed in an instant, and then disappeared quickly.The neon lights behind Kageyama suddenly brightened dazzlingly, and Hinata looked dizzily at the slender eyes in front of him, feeling that there was something wrong with the distance of the whole world. "Did you hear... just now?" Kageyama pulled out his bangs from behind his glasses, "I think you took off a little slower." Hinata nodded honestly, and then dragged her voice deliberately: "It's so pitiful, So give me a kiss, or I'm going to cry."

His acting skills are still only at the level of villagers and trees even in college, but it is enough to deceive Kageyama.Kageyama was stunned, his eyes dodged, and he cursed, "No one cares about you if you cry to death", but still quickly moved closer to touch Hinata's side face.Hinata was pressed to his forehead by the brim of his hat, but he didn't feel any pain. While secretly enjoying himself, he watched Kageyama pretending to be calm and took out a brand new notebook from his bag, his ears were obviously red.

"What are you laughing at, stop laughing!"

"hey-hey."

The light of the street lamp is not suitable for reading. Hinata leaned on Kageyama's shoulder and squinted. The first page of the notebook was written in such a mess that I couldn't recognize what it was.Kageyama pointed to one of the strings, and said, "This is a French restaurant that I found, love, couples must go to, do you want to go?" Hinata said "ah", rubbed his chin, and replied: "French food... …Baked snails? Is that stuff really filling?”

As a result, Kageyama pulled his face down and asked the Miya brothers, Sugawara-senpai, Taniji, and even Oikawa-senpai a page full of dating tips, all of which were rejected.When Hinata yawned and disliked the last item of "watching a movie", Kageyama even secretly breathed a sigh of relief - he actually didn't want to watch the new love story movie when he was hungry, men and women, crying and laughing , that is really to sleep drooling.

"No, that's all I planned." Kageyama closed the notebook.

Hinata frowned, pushed his glasses with his middle finger, imitated the tone of his high school math teacher, and said, "This is not going to work, Kageyama-kun needs to work harder."

What a painful memory!Kageyama's face was contorted, and he reached out to slap the notebook on Hinata's head.

"pain!"

Kageyama didn't care whether Hinata was in pain or not, and took the opportunity to rub his hair again: "Then do you want to go to a sporting goods store?"

I always feel that something is wrong. The so-called very formal date is actually a visit to a sporting goods store after hastily eating ramen with a lot of char siu at school.But Hinata was so happy that he was going crazy. He was led by Kageyama to a huge store that he had never been to before, and his eyes sparkled when he saw a whole side of brand new volleyballs.

"Hey, Kageyama, try this." He took a sports headband from the shelf.

Kageyama let out an "ah" and followed, and when Hinata took off his hat, he tilted his head to hide, but he still couldn't escape.Hinata lifted Kageyama's hair and pulled the hair tie to Kageyama's forehead, suddenly he saw a small eye on the side of his ear.

"Uh, what is this?"

"Ear piercing, Gong Yufei dragged me to get it pierced." Yingshan touched the red piece with his fingertips, "But I have never worn earrings, it seems to be closed soon."

Hinata stroked his chin thoughtfully, turned around and ran to the jewelry section to get a pair of black earrings, and finally put them on crookedly by tugging at Kageyama.Kageyama resisted to death, and said with a stinky face, "It's dangerous to play like this." But Hinata just stood by and stared at him blankly.

"what happened?"

"Don't take it with you in the future."

"...so pretty?" Kageyama frowned and bent over to get closer to him, asking seriously, "Your face is blushing."

"Okay, what a ghost." Hinata became angry with embarrassment, and stretched out his hand to yank off the result he had finally made.

"Then I'm not." Yingshan quickly stood up straight.

He was so much taller than Hinata, and now he was determined to hide, even if Hinata stretched out his arms, he couldn't reach him.Hinata stepped on him, but was so angry that he took a red headband of the same style and put it on his head.

"You take me with you." Hinata ran to the mirror to look at himself, "Does it look good?"

"...not good-looking." Yingshan suddenly appeared behind him with an ugly expression, "Don't take it out."

"It's late." Hinata swung his fist back, the movement was too big, and the top of his head directly hit Kageyama's chin.

Kageyama gasped in pain, turned around to cover his chin, but was dragged back by Hinata.Hinata smiled, gently tore off the hair bands on the foreheads of himself and Kageyama, took off the earrings, reached out to rub Kageyama's chin, and put his hat back on.

"Senior Tiantong asked me this afternoon, aren't you curious about what he said to you?" He held Yingshan's face in his hands, forcing Yingshan to bend down to look at him, "I said I'm not curious, this is your own business, since you If you think it’s okay, then it’s okay.

"Then he asked me again, don't you wonder how Yingshan is doing?

"Momo also told me this, he said, 'It's Kageyama who is learning about your life'. But they don't know, every time the magazine writes about you, I will secretly watch it a dozen times, all the games you played, Even if I'm sitting in the audience watching other teams, I'll look for it. It's embarrassing to say it, but it's true.

"Remember when I was 16 years old, I said I was jealous in the closet that day. I am also now, so jealous, I am so jealous. In high school you didn't like to talk about your junior high school, and now you don't like to talk about it. I I really want to say that I don't care at all, I don't care how fast you run, I don't care how far ahead you are, I don't care how you live, but this is all fake, I just care so much that I die .

"I said that I will go with you everywhere. My uncle, Xiangyang Hinata, is Tobio Kageyama's lifelong partner and lifelong enemy!"

"Keep down, don't you feel ashamed to say that kind of thing now?" Kageyama turned his head and compromised, "What do you want to know?"

"Put everything else aside, first tell me why I'm wearing a hat today, why do I have to wear glasses, who are you hiding from?"

"...Recently, a reporter from XX magazine always wanted to interview me." Kageyama muttered in a low voice, "She said she wanted to follow her secretly. Although I haven't found out yet, she still feels uncomfortable."

"Damn...Are you showing off the public's anguish over scandals?" Hinata thought for a while, then pointed to himself, "If it's really a sneak shot, wouldn't I be 'the underground gay lover of a well-known national team volleyball player'?" The face was stamped with a black mosaic and printed on the inside of the magazine, becoming the object of fans scratching their lungs and wanting to know the name, "Wow, that's amazing!"

"What the heck?" Kageyama patted him on the head hard, "You must be called 'little giant' by the first time everyone knows you."

It had been a long time since Kageyama had heard this title.Hinata paused for a moment, laughed, reached out and flicked Kageyama's forehead, and said, "Yes!"

In the end they just took two pairs of knee pads and went to checkout.Hinata is still using the old knee pads from high school. The knee pads were originally prepared by Kageyama for Christmas, but someone else got them. He was arguing that he was envious, and then Kageyama secretly gave him a pair.Kageyama couldn't understand that he was still using the old one, so he bought a new pair at the store and wanted to send it back, so Hinata also took a pair and wanted to send it back.When paying, the two gritted their teeth at the higher price than expected, but neither of them would put the knee pads back. They didn't know what the truth was.

"What's the difference between us and buying yourself a pair of knee pads?" Yingshan recalled after leaving the store.

"Exchanging this sense of ritual is very important!" Hinata insisted, "That's what falling in love is like!"

What nonsense.Kageyama didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked straight forward, before taking two steps, Hinata suddenly yelled again.

"Why?"

"I left my glasses at that store," Hinata looked at Kageyama, "Can you go back and get them for me?"

"No. You go by yourself."

"Tsk, if you don't go, you will lose points on the 'Best Boyfriend' table."

"You are so troublesome!" Kageyama gritted his teeth and reached out to pinch his head.

Unexpectedly, it was really effective. Although he was reluctant, Kageyama still moved back with his bag on his shoulders angrily.Seeing Kageyama turning slowly back to the store, Hinata also put his hands in his pockets, trotted a few steps across the road, and stopped quietly in front of the dense grass on the opposite side of the road.

"You're very angry with me. I've been blocking you all day, and I didn't let you take pictures of my face." He whispered to the grass, and a passerby passed by gave him a strange glance.

The grass shivered slightly because of Hinata's words.

"You found out..." came a girl's voice.

It turned out to be a girl.Hinata gritted her teeth, feeling that she lost to Kageyama somewhere.He cut silently, and continued: "I've found out since I left school, I'm much more accurate than that guy's sixth sense. I think you'd better give up, that guy's life is very monotonous, except for volleyball. Very boring, no friends and no hobbies, only likes to eat, has a fierce expression, and speaks directly, not a good interview subject."

"But……"

"I've seen the reports about him in your magazines, and they all exaggerate him. The Tobio Kageyama I know is not so good. Don't be fooled by appearances. And this guy is so innocent, I can't tell the difference Resentment, and I like to hold back everything by myself, it really drove him out of order, do you know how hard it is to break it back?"

"do not know……"

"It took me three years last time."

"..."

"You like him." Hinata squatted down and looked at the toes of his shoes, "I like him too. He was handsome when he was the king's setter. I think he plays volleyball happily and doesn't have to think about other things anything.

"So don't bother him anymore."

The voice was still silent, and it took a long time to choke out "I'm sorry", crying with a little restraint.Hinata has always hated to see girls cry, and when he heard that cry, he was at a loss for what to do, always felt that he was bullying others. "Don't cry..." He pushed down the grass, then withdrew his hand to scratch his hair, took out the last precious dessert discount coupon from his pocket, and slipped it to the person in the grass.

"Eat something sweet. See you later." He fled in a hurry.

When Hinata crossed back to the road, Kageyama just came back from the shop, handed out his well-wrapped glasses, scolded him and ran around.The gaze that had been glued to his back had indeed disappeared, and Hinata was finally able to take off Kageyama's hat and throw it into his backpack along with his glasses. "Let's go." He smiled at Yingshan, and generously took Yingshan's hand.

At this very moment, so many things are happening in Tokyo, and so many things are happening in the world, how many things can be written in the magazine?But they are all insignificant little fragments: some people are laughing, some are crying, some people are taking dessert coupons to buy cakes to celebrate their broken love, some people are eating crab roe sushi and thinking, so there are really those lucky people whose paradise lasts for a long time Open, never closed.

And some people are holding hands, wandering around the huge city, making noise, running side by side, waiting for the night to fall, waiting for the dawn, and waiting for the whole world to be surprised by them.
