practice was important, yes, but wasn’t saving a baby bird as important too? in a way, it was just like him, struggling to survive -- ( without its teammates’ help, it wouldn’t get anywhere! ) . this realization led him to the tree, the spiker pulling down the sleeves of his jacket in order to cover his hands. gingerly, hinata scoops up the small bird in his hands, almost cooing at the sight of it.
he didn’t notice kageyama was there ( sure, he felt a menacing presence, but he just thought that was the always lingering stress and pressure ) until he spoke, hinata jumping slightly and almost losing the bird ( how disastrous would that have been?? ) .
❛ it’s - it’s important! ❜ he protests, sputtering slightly as he glances back at the setter for a second. ❛ i thought of leaving it here until after practice - i swear, i do wanna get better! - but then there was a chance of it dying ‘cause of snakes and other predators and... ❜ he shudders, looking at the animal in his cupped hands. ❛ i knew it would be on my mind all throughout practice, so i figured i’d just... ❜ he gestures to the tree, as if that would finish his words, before stepping closer, balancing himself on his toes and --
-- just his luck for him to not be tall enough to reach the nest. great. he couldn’t just ask kageyama for help ( who do you take him as ?? ) , so hinata simply shifts, acting as if he totally had this under control.
