            “yeah, i’m just.. tired, sorry.” he attempted to fake a smile. just hearing that come out of his mouth didn’t feel right, and he was right. hinata loved to practice! seriously, this little crow was full of such energy and it never seemed to end. right now, he felt silly enough passing the opportunity to practice with nekoma’s captain and bokuto. the owl he looked up too, seriously, he was so cool!

            but, those words he was told earlier were still eating away at him. brown eyes advert from the other, looking down at the ground as he shyly speaks. “–i-its nothing kuroo-san, really, i’m fine.” another forced smile goes to his lies, except this time it faded much faster. an obvious lie, in fact this time hinata felt guilty lying to the other, so it didn’t take long for the truth to surface soon afterwards.

            “..a-actually, well, i just got told something that– w-wasn’t very nice..” that was an understatement, it was absolutely horrible.

            It wasn’t difficult to drag some of the truth from the reluctant little bird, staying quiet seemed to do the job well enough. Hinata just couldn’t seem to lie, and Kuroo could respect that in a person.   Just the idea that someone could be bullying the kid in such a way to knock down his spirit, they better hope the cat doesn’t find out who was responsible.

    “In my opinion, if someone is uneducated enough to say stupid things like that, then they aren’t really worth listening to.   They’re just try’na provoke you, and poorly at that.”   Bringing his hands to his hips, the captain was left to wonder where Daichi was during all this.   It felt like he was leading two teams rather than just his own.  Hell, he wasn’t even getting paid for this. 

            “Oi—-   Every crow has to learn how to fly, don’t let anyone shoot you down.
 Heh.  you’re the only one that gives us all a fun challenge, and I want you to put Lev in his place.”
