• notes : love love love when authors expand on hinata's character post-ts because even if we got to see a lot of him during brazil, it's always interesting to see how other people interpret his character development (in hypothetical scenarios)

• notes : this is actually part 2 of a series by this author who also wrote the skts fic runner, runner (they can act as stand alone fics). if you happened to read part 1, then reading this one after is a fun little extra! hinata is painfully oblivious and his friends are tired of of him but he eventually gets his shit together and races against the clock to confess to kageyama (and they say romance is dead)
