"I need you to finish the job"

"I-I don't think I can..."

"You want her to live don't you?"

"Ok"

———————————

Hinata was still under intensive care at the hospital. He was visited regularly by both Ukai and Sugawara, by now everyone had given up in trying to get answers out of the setter; knowing he wouldn't budge.

They weren't the only ones that visited the teen though.

A certain pink haired teen often came to chat with the boy. Even though it was a one sided conversation due to his weak and futile state; Yua stayed for hours in that room talking to him.

She talked about her new friends at Karasuno, her recent projects and even future plans she had made for the both of them. All the while Hinata listened intently, his dull brown eyes glimmering slightly as she spoke with such passion.

She spent every free moment with him; as if he were to die any moment.

Due to the excessive visiting hours and interactions, Hinata had become emotionally attached to Yua; often becoming unstable and anxious without her there.

This in turn lead to Yua visiting him EVEN MORE. She came in between lessons, lunch break, and often did her homework beside his bed.

Some of the nurses started to find it a little unsettling, however she was still a 'sweet girl' in their eyes.

It was currently lunchtime and the sun was high in the sky. Yua had already packed her things to visit Hinata... but this time there was something different.

Slipping a small needle filled to the brim with an unknown substance into her bag, she made her way to the hospital.

Dread filled her every step as she neared the white washed building. Her knees buckled weakly as she imagined Hinata laying lifelessly in her mind, her own body towering above his with blood stained hands.

His blood would be on her hands.

There was a reason she was doing this though... her parents. They were under a contract with Hinata's mother, owing a lot of money to the woman.

They were unable to repay this large total so Mrs Hinata had come to a different deal.

She wanted Hinata dead. And Yua somehow ended up being the one doing it.

Yua took a deep breath and checked into the hospital and began making her way to his room. Upon opening the door she hadn't realised someone quickly slip behind a small filing cabinet, going unnoticed by the girl.

"Hey Shō" She smiled sweetly, her fake grin hiding her suppressed sorrow. Hinata faintly smiled back; reaching out his bony hand to grab hers.

She looked at it for a second and began to tear up, sucking in a sharp breath she pushed the hand back in his bed, rubbing it gently with her thumb.

Yua rejected his gesture and reached into her bag to grab the syringe. Hinata looked confusedly at his motherly figure. Was his medication messing with his mind?

Surly this isn't real? Right?

Yua looked coldly at Hinata. Her vibrant green eyes becoming darker in a split second. Hinata watched worriedly as she moved to where his IV drip was.

His eyes widened as he saw the one person he trusted rise it to the liquid filled bag "I'm sorry Shōyō... I really am" she whispered.

The teen inhaled a deep breath though the oxygen mask; it filled with steam as he began to panic. It was almost as if in that moment, all light that was left in the teen's eyes had been completely snuffed out... his eyes dropped with betrayal and regret as he reached his hand to her once again.

Yua turned to the boy and slapped his hand away. Her eyes misted with tears as she whipped her head away from Hinata's broken expression.

Gritting her teeth she was about to inject the substance when a flash and the sound of a camera came from her right.

Yua's heart sank as she turned to whoever made the noise "well well well" a tired voice sounded, followed by a slow clap.

"Who knew the one person Shōyō trusted the most would try to fucking kill him" the person emerged, revealing none other than Kenma Kozume.

Yua dropped the syringe as the setter showed his phone screen to the girl. It was a clear video of her attempting to put something in his IV.

Kenma smirked at her defeated expression "delete it" Yua growled at the pudding head, greatly annoyed and worried.

Kenma waved the phone teasingly in front of her face "I don't think your in any place to be making commands" Kenma growled back, never faltering at all when the pink haired girl stepped closer to him.

Out of nowhere she grabbed Kenma's hair and threw him to the floor; however, the attack with swiftly reversed by the male using his position in order to kick Yua right under the chin.

An awful crack came from her jaw as she crashed to the floor; nose bleeding everywhere "don't fucking touch Shōyō again, if I even see you around him your dead. Got that?"

The girl wobbled into a standing position and nodded her head submissively; accepting defeat. While picking up her rucksack she gave Hinata a side eye.

It wasn't a look of bad will or anger.

It was an apologetic look, dusted with sadness and a hint of anger towards someone else.

She was disgusted. Disgusted in herself.

She plugged her nose with a tissue and left the room. Leaving the to teens together. Kenma turned sadly to Hinata; as he expected the teen was shaking violently and his heart monitor was above the recommended.

Hinata's breathing quickened; making the mask steamy as he pulled his knees into his chest, slowly cradling himself while trembling heavily.

Kenma placed his phone on the side and went to comfort the boy. Wrapping his arms around hinata's bony figure she slowly hushed the teen until he had fallen asleep on Kenma's lap, face burried in his thigh and skinny arms around his lower stomach.

Kenma couldn't deny it that he was flustered at how close the were... but it wasn't the time for such thoughts.

———————1 month later——————

"Are you ready Shōyō?" Kenma asked kindly, grabbing Hinata's soft hand. Hinata smiled back; it wasn't as bright of as wide as before, but he was getting there.

The setter smiled and began swishing their hands in synchronisation "tell me if you feel uncomfortable ok?" Kenma informed, staring into Hinata's still clouded eyes.

Hinata hummed and met with the massive group of boys consisting of: oikawa, Iwa, Bokuto, Akaashi, Kageyama, Tsukki, Yams, Kuroo, Sugawara and Daichi.
