Ch.2 Meetings

■Hinata's POV■

I'm at a certain cafe not far from a bus stop in a district, nervously sitting next to the window glass, looking out at the street from the second floor. Just then my eyes caught a woman crossing the street, heading to this cafe, the person that I've been waiting for 30 minutes already because I came too early. I wait and in two minutes, that woman has climbed the stairs and walks to where I sit.

Y/N: good afternoon Hinata san... have you waited long?

I get up from my seat and greet her back.

Hinata: no... no I've just arrived too hahaha...

You literally came too early Shoyo...

L/N gives me a relieved smile.

Y/N: thank goodness... 

I swear though I've seen so many beautiful women in my life such as Kiyoko san, and Yachi, L/N could make me act as I've just seen a pretty girl for the first time in my life. Her smile is so bright and pretty, just like a daisy. Her scent radiates a sweet flowery smell too.

We sit and the waiter comes to take our order, we both choose what we want and then the waiter left, leaving us two alone again. When I look at L/N, I realize there's a white powder on one of her blue sleeves. I pull out wet tissues from my bag and hands it to her, making her look at me, confused.

Hinata: L/N, you got some stain... uh powder? on your sleeve...

Y/N: eeh?

L/N immediately looks at her sleeve, moving her arm around to look for it.

Cute...

Y/N: ah... how embarrassing... um, thank you Hinata san, I'll take one tissue...

A red streak appearing across her cheeks, making her look even more adorable.

Stop staring Hinata Shoyo!

I slap myself mentally and decided to start a conversation.

Hinata: do you have enough tissue? need more?

Y/N: ah, no thank you... it's enough.... it's probably from the shop...

Hinata: shop?

L/N excuses herself for a sec to throw the tissue in the bin at the corner of the room before returning to sit in front of me.

Y/N: ah yes... my family runs a mochi shop... it's been since my great grand father's generation hehe... now, my mother and I run it together...

Just her mother and her?

Hinata: ah, I'm sorry... uh your father?

L/N smiles gently.

Y/N: my father passed away six years ago...

Why did you need to ask?

Hinata: I'm so sorry L/N!

Y/N: ah no, it's alright... it's been a while too...

L/N tells me that she runs the shop with her mother and two workers. The shop is connected to her house and it's in a district only on stop from here.

Hinata: that's amazing... 

Y/N: not really... mother can make good mochi but I still have a long way to go.... um what about you Hinata san?

L/N stares at me with her big (e/c) eyes, and my heart is beating a slight bit faster.

I told you to stop staring, myself! Bad me... bad Hinata Shoyo...

Hinata: I uh... I'm a volleyball player...

I could see L/N's eyes widened.

Y/N: ah... are you perhaps a pro player? the jacket you wore that night... it looks familiar...

Hinata: ah, yes... I play for a team called MSBY Black jackal...

Y/N: ah! so that's why... I watched Black Jackal's game on TV once with my mom... that's why your jacket looks familiar... and... are you perhaps played in Japan's national team?

Hinata: hehe, yes I did...

We're now talking about me, I told her about myself. My profession, family, and many other things.

Even so far...

I enjoy talking to her..

And listening to her...

■Y/N's POV■

Hinata san is telling about himself, he played as Japan's national team for the Olympics last year, he's a professional volleyball player. His sister is also a volleyball player at her school, Hinata san proudly says that her sister is amazing.

Hinata san is like a ball of sunshine, just like his name. He looks bright and cheerful, and he radiates a warm feeling. He's very kind because he helped me that day though we were strangers.

An amazing person like him... why would he need my number? is he really wants to be friends with me?

Hinata: L/N?

Y/N: ah yes!?

Oh no, I'm zoning out...

Hinata: what's wrong?

Y/N: n-nothing... it's just uh... why would someone as amazing as Hinata san need my number... ah I don't mind with treating you to lunch toda-

Hinata: it's not because of that... it's not because I want you to repay me...

Hinata san has a slight blush on his face, even the tip of his ears are red. He looks flustered and scratches the spot on his chin before looking at me in the eyes.

Hinata: well... it's just uh.... I... I was interested in you... that's why I asked for your number...

He smiles and looks away

Hinata: I... want to see you again...

Dub Dub

My heart skips a beat when I hear his reason. He was a guy that I've only met yesterday, and this is basically our second time seeing each other. But Hinata san is a fine looking man and he's really kind too, hearing something like that from someone like him

My heart is not at fault for racing...

Y/N: ah... w-why? We've just met...

Hinata san is looking at me and smiles sweetly, scratching the back of his head while then shyly looking at the food in front of him.

Hinata: I... am not sure...

Huh?

Hinata: when you thanked me for the other day... you smiled at me and somehow I think you're pretty... ah- it's not just because of that... I uh Don know oh no I might sound weird... it's uh..  I like your voice too... and... your perfume... it's just...

Hinata san stares at me in the eyes, making my heart skips a beat.

Hinata: you..  look like a beautiful flower... that I wanted to see you again... and... get to know you...

■3rd Person POV■

A waiter and a waitress are exchanging glances, an amused smile on their face as they watch the two customers that look flustered, they think Hinata and Y/N are being cute.

Y/N is looking at her lap while Hinata is looking out the window. Both have blushes on their face.

Y/N steals a glance at Hinata, never had she been told that she's pretty in such a manner by a guy. And Hinata too, it's the first time he ever thought of a woman like that.

Y/N: um... thank you... I uh-

Riiing! Riiing!

Y/N's phone is ringing and she looks up at Hinata who nods at her, telling her to pick it up.

Y/N: uh, excuse me...

Y/N picks up her phone and sees the name written on her screen, it's Honda, a man that works at her Mochi shop.

Y/N: hello, Honda san, what is-

Honda: Y/N chan, Ieri san is collapsed again! I already call the ambulance and will go to the hospital...

Y/N: huh? Wha- mom!?

Hinata could see the blood drained from Y/N's face and her eyes are wavering.

Y/N: I-I'll be there Honda san...

Y/N ended the call and looks up at Hinata. She feels bad and Hinata could feel the uneasiness in her.

Y/N: Hinata san I-

Hinata: let's end our meeting today and meet again another time...

Hinata kindly smiles at Y/N, easing her a bit and shooing her guilt away. Y/N feels bad for ruining their lunch but Hinata could see that it's an urgent matter. He wants to know, but he knew better that Y/N needs to leave right away and he better not keep her any longer.

When Y/N was about to walk to pay, Hinata turns her body around making the woman facing the door.

Y/N: H-Hinata san?

Hinata: you should go right away... you need to be somewhere else soon right? Today's lunch will be on me... so

Hinata smiles at Y/N, a reassuring smile.

Hinata: let's meet again next time... and treat me to lunch...

Y/N's heart warmed by his consent. Y/N bows at Hinata and turns around, heading to the door. But before she leaves, she looks back.

Y/N: Hinata san...

Hinata who's paying turns around and sees Y/N. His breath hitches by the sight in front of him.

Y/N: I'll be sure to treat you next time... see you later..

With that Y/N finally leaves, leaving Hinata's heart beating faster by the words "see you later" from her.

On their second meet....

They made a plan for their third one...

And...

There are possibly more meetings in the future...
