"(First Name)-chan! (First Name)-chan!" You hear a familiar voice calling out from behind you. Turning around you see Hinata running at you at full speed, resulting in crashing into you.

"Ow...Hinata-kun.." You wince in pain as you rub your head. "What is it?"

"Let's practice!" He instantly stands up, showing no signs of pain after the incident. "Let's go to the fields!"

He holds out his hand and helps you up on your feet. Then, he runs out of the school, pulling you behind him.

"S-slow down, Hinata-kun! We're going to crash into someone else!" You yell out as he drags you. You can hardly keep up with his speed.

You didn't mind practicing with Hinata, since he's a very close friend. He always makes you smile and laugh when you were in the worst of moods. He is optimistic and energetic, and he is the type of guy that you'd like to spend every single day with. Just being around him always brought happiness and comfort.

Soon, you reach the grassy fields. Placing your hands on your knees, you stop to catch your breath, along with Hinata. After a few huffs, he springs back up with full energy and opens his duffle bag to grab a volleyball.

"Toss for me, (First Name)-chan!~" He says as he moves to a far enough distance to pass the volleyball to you in order to set the ball.

Catching the ball, you look at the boy who was filled with adrenaline. You sigh and shake your head, smiling. You perfectly set the ball to Hinata who spikes it.

"Again!~" He calls out as he runs to get the ball.

-TIMESKIP-

About two hours have passed since coming to the grassy field and you were starting to get tired. You sit down to take a break, watching Hinata, who was still filled with energy, practicing volleyball by himself by hitting it up into the air.

You admire the fact that he always tries his best to become a strong volleyball player. He's determined and he wants to make his dream come true. Of course, you supported that dream and you always stuck by his side to encourage him.

Because of that, you couldn't help but fall for him a little.

Ten minutes have passed and Hinata was starting to hit his limit. He slowly walks towards you and falls into your lap, taking a rest. You stiffen at his touch, but you didn't mind looking at his adorable sleeping face.

"Geez, stop being so cute.." You say softly as you grab your handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his face. He slightly opens his eyes and looks at you with a gentle smile.

"Not as cute as you, (First Name)-chan.." He whispers, causing you to blush profusely. He closes his eyes for about five minutes and gets up slowly.

"I can't believe you sometimes... Ready to go home, Hinata-kun?" You ask as you pick up your school bag.

"Mhm~ Thanks again for practicing with me, (First Name)-chan. Let me take you home!" He pulls your arm once again and you couldn't help but giggle.
