XXVII. Wait

                                    

                                          
Hideko sat down on one the many benches littered around the field area of the camp after running out of the clinic.
"Those boys are so going to get it!"
"Get what?" 
Hideko jumped in surprise and turned around to see Daichi. 
"Captain!" She accidentally yelled a little too loudly as she stands up. 
"No need to yell Hideko-chan. I'm right here." He chuckled as he walks closer. 
"What are you doing out here, captain? Where are the others? Are you doing alright? Did someone else got hurt? Are you on your way to the clinic-"
"Whoa. Calm down." Daichi placed his hands on her shoulders, pushing her to sit back down on the bench. 
"I'm alright. No one's hurt. The others and I are out doing penalty, we lost the match. We can manage." Daichi said as he sits down beside Hideko. 
Disregarding the fact that Hinata received the ball to his face... a couple of times... He thought to himself. 
Hideko hummed then sighed as she slouched. 
"I haven't been helping our team much, haven't I, captain?"
Daichi furrowed his brows as he looks at her.
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, I haven't seen or talked to the team since our morning jog." Hideko said, rubbing her arm.
"That's true. But..." He plainly said. 
"But?"
"Hideko-chan, you've been such a great help to the team. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Having you in our team makes us feel complete. There's no other way of saying it. So take it as it is. You complete us."
Hideko turned away as she feels her face burn.  
"I don't know about that-"
"Tell me." 
"I haven't been with you all. I have been spending time with the other teams. I even play with Nekoma during their after practices."
"You also had a sleepover with Shiratorizawa."
"That too... Are you still mad about that?"
Daichi's eyes widen as he shakes his head side to side. 
"No! Of course not. I was never mad about that. It's your decision after all. Besides, the boys and I were a bit out of hand that night. Sorry about that."
We probably scared you... You were hurt after all. Daichi thought as he nervously smiled at the girl beside him. 
"Which one are you sorry for? The freaking out? Threatening others? Forcing the boys to sleep in your room? Or the barging in Shiratorizawa's room the next day?" She smirked at him. 
"All of the above?" Daichi chuckles.
"You guys are over the top. But then again, so am I." Hideko laughed. 
"See! We're a perfect match."
How cute, captain. 
"Besides, in our defense, we were just worried because we don't know any of those guys from Shiratorizawa. What if their freaks? Or perverts? They could have hurt you!"
"They're not!"
"We don't know that!" 
"What about Bokuto-san and Akaashi-san? You've known them for quite awhile now. All of you freaked out at them!"
