    Shouyo had a secret he hadn't told anyone yet. It started off so small, but had rapidly increased into an inferno that had its fiery grip tight on his heart. Yeah, it was a big, stupid crush. Not his first crush ever, there had been plenty of those throughout middle school. And he was pretty sure he and everyone else had at least a little crush on Kiyoko-san. But that wasn't the point, the point was that this crush was special. So special he didn't know what to do, because it was the first ever crush he had had on a boy. His crush was his friend the Nekoma setter, Kozume Kenma. He wasn't one to deny his own feelings. Sometimes he didn't notice things, that was true. But this crush was too strong to notice. It wasn't love at first sight or anything like that, though he had definitely always thought Kenma was a cool person. Who wouldn't? The way he played volleyball fired Shouyo right up, almost even more than Kageyama's tosses did. He wanted to play against Kenma all the time, a million times until he could see that spark in his eyes again. And of course, he really wanted to be Kenma's friend.And yeah, he could admit he had been a little dense about his feelings. Sometime in between getting Kenma's number and their loss against Seijoh, he had started thinking a lot more about his friend. Like, at times when it didn't really make sense. Of course he would think of Kenma when he saw an advertisement for a cool-looking game, but then he started thinking of him when he learned something interesting in class, or saw an especially pretty sunrise while biking to school, or even sometimes when he was just lying in his bed alone. And he was even more impatient with Kenma's texts that he usually was with everyone else's. He had a bad habit of sending too many texts when someone didn't respond to him right away, it was true. But he got completely hung up on Kenma's messages in a way he didn't for anyone else. If Kageyama didn't text him back quickly, he got annoyed, but eventually he forgot about it until he actually got a reply text. But whenever he texted Kenma, his fingers itched to check his phone practically every five seconds and he could barely think of anything else until he got a response. It had even kept him up too late at night a few times.But it wasn't until they found out about the trip to Tokyo that he actually managed to figure out what he was feeling. The excitement of playing volleyball against such strong teams blurred into the excitement of seeing Kenma again. Of course he had been telling him all about their games and their training, but what would he actually think when he saw Shouyo play again? Would he finally be excited? Would he be impressed? Unbidden, an image popped into Shouyo's mind of Kenma, face awestruck as he saw how well Shouyo was playing. He would smile, a really big smile that Shouyo was dying to see. And then after the games they would walk back to the locker room, and Kenma would have that spark in his eyes, and he would look at Shouyo and tell him he was amazing and how much he wanted to play with him again. His face would be really close, and he would tilt his head to the side with a smile, and maybe Shouyo would reach out to brush a strand of blond hair out of his eyes...Oh, it was a crush, Shouyo thought. After a thought like that, there was really no going back.It was surprisingly easy to admit the crush to himself, even though it was his first-ever crush on a boy. Kenma was really beautiful, after all. And the way he stared at Shouyo during a game got him excited even in ways that had nothing to do with volleyball. Shouyo was lucky too, because he knew his family would support him no matter what. He didn't have to be afraid at home, but school and the volleyball team were a different story. They never really talked about this sort of thing with one another on the team, so he didn't know anyone's true feelings on the issue. He didn't even know how Kenma felt, which was the biggest problem. He had only just gotten Kenma to be his friend, he wouldn't be able to stand it if he confessed and Kenma decided he was gross and didn't want to even be friends.Shouyo was in history class the next day when decided he would gather all of his bravery and ask for help. He had never confessed to anyone, much less a boy. Was it supposed to be different for boys? He was already taking a risk if he decided to confess in the first place, so he didn't want it to be any less than the best confession ever. But the real trouble was who he would ask for help. He could ask his mother, but maybe it would be better to get help from a peer. Someone who would really be able to understand. He stared intently  at the blackboard, trying to think of moments where one of his teammates might have given hints that they would be accepting of him. Kageyama, of course, wouldn't be able to help with love matters even if he was okay with Shouyo dating a boy. He never thought about anything other than volleyball. And he would probably just use the crush to tease and insult Shouyo even more. He wasn't even going to think about asking Tsukishima, because he definitely would never stop teasing Shouyo for it, and while Yamaguchi would probably be alright he didn't want to risk it getting back to Tsukishima somehow. Tanaka and Nishinoya would probably be happy to help with love matters, but they both only ever talked about girls. What if they thought liking boys was weird and gross? He knew they were the coolest on the team when it came to volleyball moves, but the way Kiyoko-san brushed them off all the time didn't give Shouyo much faith in their romantic abilities. The third-years, though, he felt safest talking to them. Even when Shouyo had done really stupid things in games or in practice, they never held it against him. Still, though, a little nervousness was in the back of his mind. What if he was totally wrong and they did think he was gross? What if they kicked him off the team and he couldn't play volleyball anymore? Maybe he could pretend he was just kidding... but then he could never talk about this sort of thing again... He pressed the tip of his pencil hard into his notebook, drawing a dark frowning face in the margin. Why did everything have to be so difficult? By the time school ended and he was on his way to practice, he was starting to feel brave again. Out of all the third years, the nicest was definitely Sugawara. He hadn't even been angry at Kageyama when he lost his spot as starting setter, so Shouyo was sure talking to him would be alright. The practice seemed to go so fast, and Shouyo didn't even notice the third years going back into the locker room until he had already asked Kageyama for another toss. "Wait!!" he shouted, racing across the gym and ignoring the angry yelling from Kageyama behind him. When he finally burst through the door into the locker room, he saw Sugawara in the middle of packing up his gym bag. Daichi and Asahi were talking to each other about something on the other side of the room. This was probably the best chance he would get for a while, he thought as he gulped down his sudden nervousness. "S-sugawara-senpai! Um..." Sugawara turned at the sound of his voice, smiling gently at Shouyo. His obviously open smile gave Shouyo just a tiny bit more courage. "Can I... can I talk to you about something? Please?"Sugawara looked surprised for a moment before his smile returned. "Of course, Hinata. Do you need more help with your schoolwork? I hope you've been paying attention in class, I want to go to Tokyo with the whole team!""Well... its's not really that. It's... um..." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Daichi and Asahi leaving. It was now or never. You can do it, Shouyo, he shouted to himself inside his head. "The thing is I have a crush but it's on a boy and I hope you still let me play volleyball I promise it's not any of you guys and I'm not a pervert but that doesn't mean you guys are ugly I just don't have a crush on you! But the point is I've never asked anyone out before and I don't know if it's different for a boy or anything so I wanted to ask for help and I'm not trying to say you have experience asking out boys or anything but I thought you'd be the best listener!! Yeah..." He sucked in air, realizing he had said all of that in one breath and feeling his face burning in a combination of embarrassment and overexertion. He realized his hands were shaking slightly as the second before his teammate replied seemed to stretch into an eternity. After that one excruciating second of silence, Sugawara's hand settled onto his shoulder. His face hadn't changed, he was still smiling and Shouyo felt his wildly beating heart begin to fill with hope. "It's alright, Hinata," Sugawara said soothingly. "I promise I don't think you should be kicked off the team. And I'm not going to tell anyone else unless you give permission, okay?" Shouyo nodded quickly in reply, his lips starting to wobble at how nice Sugawara was being to him. All of his tension had escaped, leaving him feeling limp and emotional right there in the locker room. "Now Hinata, is this guy someone you're friends with already, or is it just a stranger? You don't have to tell me exactly who it is if you don't want to, but when it comes to sharing your feelings, that sort of thing is obviously important," Sugawara continued. Shouyo was practically bursting with gratitude at the gentleness his teammate was showing him. He had been fully prepared to answer any number of strange questions just as long as no one thought he was disgusting, but Sugawara was taking things so easy. It was so much better than he could have ever hoped for, and he felt comfortable enough to tell Sugawara the full truth. "It's definitely someone who's a friend. Actually, it's... it's Kenma from Nekoma!" he whispered loudly, trying his best to keep his voice down even though there was no way the other first years still cleaning the gym could hear him. "I just think he's so beautiful and when I wait for him to text me or think about going to Tokyo with the team and seeing him again my heart just goes so bwaahhh and he's so interesting I mean when he bothers to reply to my texts... But I'm afraid..." he said, slowing down again. "I'm afraid he'll think I'm a pervert if I tell him... and I really would rather just be friends than have him hate me, Sugawara-senpai!""Kozume-kun, huh..." Sugawara mused. "I don't think you have anything to worry about, Hinata. Kuroo-san told Daichi and I once that Kozume-kun is nicer to you than to anyone on their team, you know."Shouyo's heart felt like it was about to explode. Kuroo-san had really said such a thing!? And Kenma... he wanted to stand on the roof of the gymnasium and yell out to anyone that Kenma thought he was special! Sugawara gave him an understanding smile. "So you see, I think it will be alright even if he doesn't return your feelings. And if anything bad happens, you can always tell me, okay?" Shouyo nodded, trying to stop his facial expression from wobbling any more in front of his third-year teammate. "Now, I know confessing seems hard and it makes you nervous," Sugawara continued, "but if you're already friends it will be easier. Plus, there's only one thing you need to remember. Just do something that makes your crush happy. The best way to show someone that you'll be a good partner for them is to show them you care about making them happy. I'm sure you know better than I do what sort of thing would make Kozume-kun happy, Hinata." Sugawara patted Shouyo on the shoulder. "T-thank you so much Sugawara-senpai, I- I really-" Shouyo could feel tears pricking at his eyes, which was so stupid because Sugawara wasn't even saying anything bad, but he couldn't stop a huge smile from breaking out across his face."No problem, Hinata! And good luck!" Sugawara said on his way out of the looker room.  Hinata was full of energy in that moment. He was going to study super extra hard so he could go to Tokyo and see Kenma again, and now he knew that he would try to confess sometime during their trip. Would he buy him a video game gift? Shouyo had no idea where to find these things in Miyagi. Kenma could go to cool stores in Akihabara as much as he wanted, so would Shouyo even be able to find something better than that? Maybe he should just offer to watch Kenma's favorite anime with him, and then tell him at the end? Well, there was still plenty of time to think about it, he reasoned. His heart seemed to pound loudly in his chest whenever he thought of confessing, and he couldn't wait for the Tokyo trip to come.'
