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

A snap, interrupting the dizzy confusion.

The hand tightly covering his face was withdrawn suddenly, so what Hinata saw was a sweaty and astonished face, and a rapidly red mark behind the broken bangs, zooming in and stopping in front of him.

The Chinese teacher has always said that Hinata's difficulty in reading is because he is noisy in his heart, and there is never a second of silence. When he sees a word, he has to spread out a whole story according to his own ideas.Now he thinks what the teacher said is quite right. Looking at Kageyama's face and open neckline, his dazed mind is full of imagination about that confession.Cookies, cakes, chocolates.Girls like Tobio Kageyama.How can girls not like Tobio Kageyama.

But Kageyama's face had turned into an ugly black.He covered his forehead and turned out of the cabinet, stumbled and kicked Hinata's desk, grabbed his bag and swept in the scattered stationery.Hyuga slowly chased and climbed out of the closet, swaying left and right to find the red mark on Kageyama Yintang.

"You deserve it...don't cover it like that. If you cover your nose and mouth, you will really die." He muttered.

Kageyama turned his head to look at Hinata, and simply put down his hands to stop covering up that funny mark.He reached out and grabbed the little man's collar, gnashing his teeth: "You should laugh at me. Why don't you laugh?"

The strokes on the curtain were messed up on the bridge of Kageyama's nose.Hinata, who was carried forward, stared at him, somewhat understanding that his current anger was not the same as the anger that he had eaten his curry bun.Did you miss something?It is embarrassing to be plotted by a rubber band, but it is not Kageyama who is suddenly covered with eyes, mouth and nose, who is dizzy in that moment of silence, and who is subconsciously docile and trusting with his senses blocked.I actually felt as comfortable as returning to my mother's body at the moment when I was completely mastered.Hinata was also a little angry, and pinched Kageyama's thin right ear on tiptoe: "Since I'm not even smiling, why are you blushing?"

Kageyama froze for a moment, then turned and opened Hinata's hand. "It's nothing, it's too hot. I can't stay." He turned his back, put on his backpack and hurried down the stairs.

So there was only one person left in the stuffy little room.The old electric fan was humming, and Hinata was standing in the middle of the words "Must win", feeling anxious when he cheated on an exam and finally turned the right page, but couldn't see the best answer.

What is he missing?

When the teacher called out his name the next day, Hinata was still thinking about it. "Hinata!" Startled by the teacher's suddenly raised voice, he jumped off the butterfly wings of Fugue, knocked open the table and answered "yes", and met the teacher's stern eyes.

The blackboard was densely packed with things I couldn't understand. The teacher repeated the question, and Hinata looked down at the book in a cold sweat, only to find that he had actually brought the wrong textbook.The teacher punished him to stand on his seat for 5 minutes. He stood obediently with a sad face. The back table played tricks and secretly kicked his ass with the toe of his shoes. The sunlight came in from the window, making him unable to open his eyes.

After class, Hinata imitated Kageyama's method and used his own waste draft paper to seal the small piece of glass on the side of the classroom corridor, so that the afternoon sun would not shine a bright spot on his face, which would always attract the teacher to look at it.It was a little difficult for him to stand on the flat ground. The boys in the same class laughed at him, and imitated him by pasting up the glass next to him, so as not to leave any space for the light.The classroom, which is brightened by the sun, is protected by a thin layer of paper of different colors, and it is dimly and gently darkened.The big fan is turning coolly above the head, and the wind blows up the paper, so the Gundam Pikachu you drew, and the math class I wrote are all floating gently against the window.

It was a great help, Hinata.people say.

Hinata grinned, went back to his seat and buried himself in looking for the textbook he took wrongly in the last class, but only found a piece of crisply folded paper in his bag, the paper was full of grids, and "Kageyama Tobio" was written in the name column.

After Kageyama left his house that day, Hinata lifted his clothes and lay on the floor for a long time, waiting for the sweat on his body and dizzy head to gradually fade away.He looked up at Yingshan's papers pasted on the window. The last one was a composition paper for a Chinese exam, and the theme was "My Emotions".Hinata stretched out his hand and tore off the paper, and read it flat, but he used rhetoric indiscriminately, and the preamble did not match the postscript. "That's it." Kageyama wrote at the end, picked up a single line, and was circled by the teacher with a red pen, commenting "the meaning is unclear".Hinata understood that the sentence he specially wrapped was just to make up for the number of words, but it was such a stinky and long article. He glanced at the nonsense before and didn't remember it all, but he was impressed by these four words.

He sent a text message at night and asked Kageyama, what are you trying to do by covering me in the closet, are you trying to kill me?

The news went out without a trace.

Probably after reading that article, I put it on the table, and when I hurried out this morning, I put it in the schoolbag together with other things. "Hey, Hinata, physical education class, can you go? It's slow to death." Someone called him.Hinata woke up like a dream, answered "immediately", quickly put the paper back into the interlayer of the backpack, picked up the water bottle and chased it out.

That's it.That is what.Who is so.

Hinata followed the team to warm up and jog in the small playground, looked up at the window of the third class, and saw Kageyama by the window sleeping soundly behind the English book.

When they came back from physical education class, someone tore off most of the paper that had been painstakingly pasted before, and the words "like" were spelled crookedly on the leftover pages.No one knows if this is a prank or a true confession.The boys who had just worked hard began to curse out of righteous indignation, and Hinata sat on the seat drinking water in a daze, from this shaky liking, he inexplicably thought of the word "must win" on his curtains.

boom.

Hinata was so frightened that he almost threw the kettle away.

He looked up suddenly, and Yingshan was standing in the corridor outside the window, with a fist smashed on the glass, with a red sleeping mark on his face, and his expression was not kind at all.The little man was a little dazed, and Yingshan stood behind the word "Like" and stared at himself, obviously doing nothing, but the shadow rushed in.This scene was really weird, and Hinata's mood was also weird.It's not reconciled that the big man can reach the piece of paper he just pasted without tiptoeing.Hinata's thoughts raced around.Biscuits, cakes, chocolates, Tobio Kageyama is popular with girls.There is a 9 on that piece of waste paper that he wrote when he secretly scolded Kageyama.Mess. "That's it."

"Are you here to find fault?" Someone muttered.

"Probably not, that guy has the same expression on the milk in the vending machine."

"It's so noisy." Hinata hit the commentator's head with a ball of paper, cast aside all kinds of eyes, dropped his coat and ran outside.

Actually quite happy, everyone looked at Kageyama, but Kageyama only looked at him.Hinata rushed over, braked in front of Kageyama, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Kageyama pulled his left hand from behind his back, holding his missing textbook.

"I took it wrong that day."

"...Are you an idiot?" Hinata snatched the book back, held it in his hand and carefully flipped through it. There were no trick toys in it, and there were no new graffiti such as "Hyuga is an idiot".

It was rare for Kageyama not to speak back.He stood quietly, pointed to the exaggerated "Like" on the side, and asked, "You posted it like this?"

"No, how can I be so boring." Hinata replied smoothly.

Kageyama put his hands in his pockets, turned his head and clicked his tongue, making Hinata bewildered.He looked up at Shadow Mountain, and was dazzled by the summer light for the second time.It was approaching dusk, and his strange partner was divided into woodcut-like simple lines and simple color blocks by light and shadow, and the veins on the side of his neck disappeared into the clean neckline of his T-shirt.This guy showed the kind of aura that Hinata always yearns for, a boy who is about to grow into a man, and it is fatal to anyone at this age.

"Then I'm leaving." He patted Hinata on the head.

Hinata froze for a moment because of the tenderness of the light bump, looking at Kageyama's back, he would rather have him yelling at him, as usual.

"Hey, it's rare that Hinata seems to be about to explode after talking with that guy." Friends in the same class booed, "Have you finally become normal friends?"

Hyuga glanced at his friend, pursed his lips and remained silent.He walked back to his seat, secretly clipped the composition paper into the cover of the book, thinking a bit sourly, it would be great if this was the case.

Obviously what he said when he made a wish in front of the cake that day: please let Kageyama and I be normal friends, don't always quarrel, let me understand what he is thinking, and let me pry open his closed mouth.

The oversized "like" on the window was not cleaned until after school, and the broken paper accompanied by the big fan rattled all afternoon, which made people upset.When Hinata ran to practice, Kageyama standing behind "Like" and knocking on his window always flashed in his mind, as well as the stupid sleeping mark on his face.

They still appeared at the entrance of the gymnasium at the same time, pushing and shoving each other in order to grab the first place, and finally fell in together.Hinata lay on the floor and couldn't get up, Kageyama sat beside him and changed his shoes, as if nothing had happened.Hinata was almost annoyed by this sense of normalcy.He took a breath, raised his hand and pumped Kageyama's calf.

"Why did you text me—"

"Hello senior!" Kageyama stood up and quickly interrupted him.

Immediately afterwards, Tanaka-senpai poked his bald head into Hinata's field of vision, and asked with a strange face, Hinata, what are you doing.

Nothing for nothing.Hinata patted his butt and stood up, and then went to see Kageyama. The guy had already changed his knee pads, grabbed a ball and started practicing.

Hinata is not a very patient person.He hit the cotton with several punches, and he was so irritable that he was so irritable. During practice, things like jumping at the wrong timing happened a few times, and Wu Yang picked up his collar and scolded him.No way, he couldn't help sneaking glances at Kageyama who was passing the ball. That guy's movements from his ankles to his fingertips were undisturbed, but it was this splitting that made people angry as usual.

"Did you quarrel with Kageyama?" Senior Sugawara asked him secretly.

"No." Hinata refused to give in, and wiped his face vigorously with a wet towel. "When will he not quarrel with me?"

Sugawara was amused by him, patted his face with his hand, and said, you two need to communicate well.

...as long as he is willing to communicate with me.Hinata took the water from Yachi, squatted down and took a peek at Kageyama.The guy avoided himself, lowered his head and adjusted the position of the knee pads, his black hair fell on his shoulders, and his calves and arms were slender and beautiful.Hinata comforted himself, because that guy was awkward, so he had to be generous.He slowly moved over in a squatting position, lightly bumped into Yingshan, and whispered, "Don't hide, you know I have something to ask you."

Kageyama paused, wiped his face, "We'll talk about it after the training is over."

"... Oh." This answer made Hinata sleepy.

But when the training was over, Hyuga was the only one who locked the door.Kageyama was called away by the girl just after changing clothes, she seemed to be someone she knew.The girl's face is a lovely pink, so you don't have to guess what's going on.Before Kageyama picked up his bag and went out, he turned his head and glanced at Hinata, just one glance made Hinata feel inexplicably frustrated.Standing alone on the steps, the sound of locks being locked was pitiful.It was getting dark late, the moon had just risen, and Hinata felt a little cold after sweating, so she wrapped her clothes tightly and rolled down the slope on her bicycle.

His bag was behind his back, and his textbook was placed in the bag, and Kageyama's composition was neatly sandwiched in the textbook.Hinata lowered his head and thought, what would it be like now if he chose to answer "yes" back in the afternoon when Kageyama asked "you posted it like this"?But this is not a game, there is no way to load files, and each branch has its own way of moving.Hinata was about to sigh when he suddenly saw a familiar figure looming from Sakashita's store.

Under the streetlight, Hinata only looked at each other from a distance, and Hinata knew that he was waiting here.There was no one around Wang who was living on the street, Hinata was stunned, and for some reason remembered the mood when the little fish swam into his palm before.

He brakes the car.

"You didn't leave."

"Yeah." Kageyama lowered his head and tore open the package that was still steaming in his hand, and handed him a Garigari-kun, "Let's go."

Hinata took it and ate the popsicle without taking a few bites.The bicycle lying between the two of them was dangling, and the old chain turned one after another.

"Hey, Kageyama, that girl just now..."

"It's a classmate."

So you waited here to tell me?Hinata suddenly felt very awkward, so awkward that he wanted to throw the sticky popsicle stick in his hand on Kageyama's precious sneakers, and also wanted to immediately ditch the bicycle and run thirty laps on the playground. "The meaning is not clear", the teacher is really good at criticizing, you deserve it if you fail in English, you deserve it if you get bounced by a rubber band, you deserve it.

But what came out of his mouth was: "Senior Xigu and Senior Tanaka will definitely beat you up, don't worry, I will definitely stand by and applaud them when the time comes."

Kageyama paused.

"Actually, I'm just talking casually about jealousy." Hinata squeezed out a smile, and patted Kageyama on the shoulder pretending to be generous, "If you're in love——"

Before he could finish speaking, Yingshan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Hinata suddenly felt cold behind him, and Kageyama grabbed him by the collar the next second and pushed him hard against the low wall beside the road.The rough cement hit the shoulder blade hard, and Hinata yelled "It hurts", but was pushed against the wall even more brutally.The oppressive force caused Hinata's bones and muscles to resist strongly, subconsciously swung his right hand and punched Kageyama, hitting the cheekbone.Kageyama was beaten to the side of his head, "Pooh", one leg stuck between Hinata's legs, pinned his arm, and pressed his elbow against his fragile throat.

The out-of-control bicycle fell to the side with a clatter, and the wheels were spinning in the air.Hinata stared at Kageyama in front of him with wide eyes. This guy was aggressive, but his slender eyes lacked courage.

"I didn't promise her!" Yingshan was really angry, "Don't you have a question to ask me after talking so much?"

"Crazy!" Hinata's temper, which had been suppressed for a long time, completely turned up.He gritted his teeth and punched and kicked. "I ask you, are you willing to say it? Okay, you agree, tell me what did you do when you covered me that day?"

"You really want to know?" Kageyama also became hysterical.He roared loudly: "Even if you will be embarrassed when you see me in the future, you will hesitate to catch my ball, your friends can't do anything, and you can't return to the way you are now, you still have to know?"

Hinata stared at him, and nodded fiercely.

Thinking about how envious they were, back then they relied on yelling to talk, and there was a lot of joy on the verge of death that they would be so lively today and not even look at the future.Kageyama pressed against his throat and leaned over to kiss him, but he didn't feel scared, he just opened his eyes and held onto Kageyama's clothes tightly. The opportunity to "like" is so simple, he accepted it as soon as he understood it in his teenage years.

It's a pity that the current him can't, and he doesn't dare to turn back and be nostalgic.For a long time, Hinata thought that his first love was like the end of all fairy tales, summing up everything simply with a "later".A small stage, a small story, and after the performance, the curtain was pulled down and there was nothing left. Everyone ran separately and lost their way.

Unable to hold back, there is always a voice asking, and then, what happened next?

Then what and then.He thinks that his life is trivial and ordinary, and when they meet again, they can look at each other and smile like in TV dramas, turn over lightly, but they still get all their thoughts revealed in the interrogation.Kageyama came to knock on his glass, and he raised his head and saw the oversized "Like".

That's it.

"I'm having a little problem," Hinata said.
