Camp Karasuno

“Bokuto-San are you sure we’re going the right way? I don’t think Camp Karasuno is this way… I don’t think it’s even in this set of woods! Also why can’t we just bring the boy back home with us to the forest? We’ll raise him into something even the gods couldn’t comprehend. This isn’t the first time we’ve taken in a kid we found on the streets… I mean… That’s how you found me right? The boy isn’t any different,” Akaashi said as he pushed past a low hanging tree branch, his feet crunching against the newly fallen leaves as he followed his fellow traveler.

“Akaashi… We can’t take care of a kid! We’re hunters! We’re a part of a pack! We’re constantly moving and we're always getting into dangerous situations. You were also immortal when I met you so you’re a whole different story. If we bring the kid along then he’s just gonna get hurt. We also don’t know what he is! We don’t even know if this kid is fully human or not! That’s why we’ve got to bring him to Camp Karasuno. They’ll know what to do with them there and they’ll do the right thing. Send them to any other camp and they’ll probably kill him. Karasuno is our only option. They always know what to do,” Bokuto said as he looked down at the small ginger boy he was cradling in his arms.

The ginger was no older than 15 but he was so small he could be easily mistaken for a young child. He was wearing a dirty black hoodie and long dark grey sweatpants. His ginger hair was unruly and was sticking out in many directions. Some dirt was stuck in the mess of hair even though Akaashi did his best to get all of it out. But no matter how beat up the boy looked he still seemed calm and collected. His face held a small smile as he quietly snored, breathing lightly onto Bokuto’s chest. It was like he was happy to be in Bokuto’s arms.

“Don’t get me wrong Akaashi… I want to keep him too. Just look at him! Who wouldn’t want to keep him? It’s just that... We’re not the right people to raise him and help him grow. We don’t know the first thing about taking care of a kid. You knew how to take care of yourself when the hunters found you. You knew the dangers and how to avoid him. This kid? He’s the total opposite. So this is the best thing we can do for now,” The frosted tipped teen said as he stepped over a fallen log, he could hear Akaashi sigh from behind him and he couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

“What if he isn’t what we think he is? What if he was just some mortal that we came across? Then what? Camp Karasuno might just send him back to a mortal village. He’ll just be as clueless there as he would be with us. What makes you so sure this ginger is what we think he is. This isn’t like hunting Bokuto. There are detrimental consequences if you get this wrong,” Akaashi pressed and Bokuto stopped walking so he could face his best friend.

“I don’t like this any more than you do. I hate the fact that we’ve got to let him go! But this is the only thing we can do. At least it’s the only thing I can think of right now... I just have a hunch alright? But even if I’m wrong and Camp Karasuno can’t take him in… At least he’ll have a good life in a mortal village. The villagers will take care of him like he was their own son. He won’t be on the run and trying to survive like us,” Bokuto sighed looking down at the young boy in his arms, brushing the reddish hair that had fallen into his face.

“I hope that you’re right Bokuto-San… Cause we’re here at the front gate. I guess you did know where Karasuno was,” Akaashi said and pointed to a huge stone arch through the trees and thick bushes. “There is no time like the present to test your theory about the boy.”

Bokuto nodded and turned around, taking as much time as possible to approach the huge arch. As they two got closer they noticed the carvings in the stone. Each standing for one of the powerful greek gods. All of the carvings were shining with their own color, glowing in the moonlight. Soon Akaashi could spot two figures standing underneath the arch, their shadows being the only thing visible.

“Nice to see you two again… What brings you here?” One of the figures asked. The shadow casted over the being soon dissolved and a teen with silver hair was visible.

“It’s nice to see you again too Sugawara… Dachi,” Akaashi said with a small bow as he watched the shadow dissolve off of the second figure. “Bokuto-San thinks we’ve found another one. We’re not sure yet since he hasn’t shown any signs like the others. But he’s pretty sure with this one.”

“Alright then… Thank you both. We’re glad to take in any of the others you bring to this camp. It has been fun working with you both and the rest of the Fukurodani Hunters. I know that you immortals need something to do with your free time. Heck! Me and Suga here can barely find anything to do and we run this camp!” Daichi joked and the two hunters couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why don’t you show them to us? Is it a boy or a girl? I swear we’ve got enough boys already… But we wouldn’t mind another one,” Suga said looking over to the bundle in Bokuto’s arms.

“Boy… About 15 years old by the looks of it. We found him in the creek. It’s like he’s been living on his own for the past few- Who knows how long! Just- Just take care of him ok? I like this one… And I know it’s probably not a good idea to get too attached- But I did and so did Akaashi even if he doesn’t want to admit it. So please? Take care of him?” Bokuto asked, his arms outstretched so he could carefully hand the ginger over to Daichi.

“We’ll do our best. Remember you can always come visit. Even the Immortal Hunters of Fukurodani need a break once and awhile. You can stay as long as you like. I know that you also have an attachment to one of our other campers here. You can see them anytime you would like. Just- Don't try and bring them back to Fukurodani with you,” Suga said with a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck, a nervous expression setting onto his face.

“Will do Suga! We’ll make sure to visit the little guy once he gets settled into his new place. I’ll also be back with the rest of the hunters! They would love to hang out and maybe have a game of Volleyball with you guys… Or maybe play capture the flag? I know how you guys like to play that… Almost kill each other while playing too. We’ll see you guys around!” Bokuto said with a wide smile, fixing the backpack that was resting on his back. Akaashi waved his goodbye to the two and followed behind Bokuto.

“They're going to try and steal the kids when they come back won’t they?” Suga asked, brushing Hinata’s messy bangs out of his face. Daichi couldn’t help but laugh before he kissed SUga on the forehead.

“Well… We know that they won’t be able to get past the gate. Campers at Camp Karasuno can’t go beyond the gate unless we give them permission. They’re safe here at camp… They’re safe here with me and you. Together,” Dachi said and Suga smiled as the two walked through the camp, coming across a cabin. The infirmary cabin to be exact.

Sitting there in the infirmary was Asahi. He was looking through the multiple bottles of medicine and other supplies when the two walked in, Hinata still snoring in Daichi’s arms. When Suga shut the door the noise caught the healer’s attention. Asahi was quick to look in his friend’s direction and he smiled. But the smile turned into confusion when he saw the ginger that Daichi was holding. He saw that Suga was about to speak but Asahi held up a hand to wait. So Suga stayed silent as Asahi quickly grabbed a blanket and pillow from one of the top shelves.

“I’m guessing the hunters brought us another straggler? Here! Set him down on this bed,” Asahi said as he set down the pillow and motioned for Daichi to set the ginger down. Once the small boy was set down on the bed, Asahi carefully put the blanket over him. “So what’s this one’s story? I know Bokuto didn’t just pack up with Akaashi and bring him here without any explanation. Almost everyone at this camp has an explanation for coming.”

“We honestly don’t know… I guess the little guy can explain it to us when he wakes up,” Suga sighed as he ruffled the boy’s hair lightly, the smaller one’s head leaning into the touch as the smile on his face widened. “He’s a special one… I know it, Daichi. Maybe this is the one Kiyoko was telling us about. Maybe this is the boy that we have to send on that mi-”

“Suga… He just got here. We’ll find out if he’s the one due time. But for now? We take care of him and help him make a home for himself here. Yeah, he hasn’t found his greek god yet… But hey! That’s alright. All though… The others might joke about it. But that’s alright! The others here know that they were once like this. So everything will be fine,” Daichi said and Suga just laughed softly looking up at his boyfriend.

“I’m still stunned that you’re father is Apollo… The way you’re talking? People would think you’re my mother’s son,” Suga joked and Daichi laughed a bit. “But I’m glad… Cause if you were a son of Athena with me? It would be kinda weird.”

“I second that thought… I’m glad to have Daichi here as a half brother. Even if he can be a bit mean and has slight anger issues... Also can you two back up on the lovey dovey stuff? You’re making me feel single again and you know how I hate third wheeling,” Asahi complained and Daichi just sighed while Suga tried not to laugh too loud so he didn’t wake up the sleeping ginger next to him.

“You aren’t single Asahi… Your boyfriend is just out on a mission. He should be back in the next few days so just hold out a little bit longer. He’ll make it back and you two will be together in no time. Just you wait. Though it is a bummer that his mission was prolonged another week. But besides the point… Maybe tomorrow morning you can ask Yachi to call him for you. That way you can talk to him again,” Suga said, reaching over to take Asahi’s hand, rubbing it a bit with his thumb in a soothing way. Asahi shot a thankful smile in the other’s direction and slowly stood up and went back to fixing his supplies.

“Why don’t you two go to sleep? I’ll go to bed once I’m done with everything here.,” Asahi said and Suga was about to say otherwise. But then he felt Daichi’s hand on his shoulder.

“Why don’t we go to sleep Suga? It’s getting pretty late. You know how Kiyoko hates it when we stay up late. Ennoshita and Tanaka will also probably kick our butts in the morning too,” Daichi mentioned, putting a hand on Suga's shoulder and the letter nodded soon standing up and walking out of the infirmary.

But the one thing the silver haired teen was worried about was…

How would he explain a ginger haired boy laying in the infirmary to the others in the morning?

----------------------------------------------

“How do you think he got here?”

“Those hunters probably brought him in last night… He doesn’t look like a Demi-god.”

“You idiot! We look like everyone else! What do you mean he doesn’t look like a Demi-god? I swear the longer I stand next you the stupider I get.”

“Um… Guys? Asahi, Daichi, and Kiyoko haven’t woken up yet. Ennoshita isn’t back from his daily run with Kinoshita and Nartia either! Do you really think we should be interacting with him before they get here? What if he’s injured and Daichi and Asahi have to take care of him?”

“He’s probably fine… He doesn't look hurt. He’s just really dirty. He still has dirt in his hair and there are still some owl feathers on him from that hunter.”

‘What’s going on? Where am I?’

“Hey! Guys! I think the little guy is waking up!”

‘Ugh… It’s so bright.’

The ginger haired boy slowly opened his eyes. The sunlight suddenly flooded into his vision making him flinch. He was quick to twist his eyes shut as he rubbed them out. Soon he slowly sat up, resting his back on the pillow his head was laying on before. Once he knew his eyes had adjusted to the room’s light he slowly opened them. When he did he saw people standing there in the room with him. He immediately got scared and grabbed the blanket in front of him, using it like a shield. He knew he was acting like a child but the blanket was the only thing he could grab to protect himself and maybe hide himself.

“I told you idiots that we were going to scare him! Here! Back up!” A blonde girl said and pushed past all the other boys in the room, making her way next to the side of the ginger’s bed. “I’m sorry they scared you… They can be a little restless. I’m Yachi and you’re in our infirmary… Do you have a name?”

“I-I’m Hinata… Shoyo Hinata,” The ginger said, slowly lowering the blanket from in front of his face so he could see the girl clearly. “Y-You look really pretty. Are you an angel?” and with that Yachi was a blushing mess, slowly backing away from Hinata so she could compose herself.

“It’s nice to meet you Hinata! I’m Tanaka! Welcome to your new home buddy!” Another teen said, landing his heavy hand in Hinata’s shoulder, making Hinata flinch. “Oh! Sorry about that dude… Superhuman strength and all. Kinda got carried away. You alright? Anything broken or misplaced?” Tanaka asked and Hinata shook his head, moving his shoulder in different directions just to make sure.

“Who are you guys?” Hinata asked, looking at everyone in the room with him.

“We’re Demi-gods like you man! I’m Tanaka as you know! I’m the son of Ares! That girl you called an Angel is Yachi, the daughter of Iris. And over there! You see that salty looking blonde standing in the doorway?” Tanaka asked and Hinata nodded, looking over to the really tall teen that was standing in the same room.

“You might call me salty but at least I’m not a total idiot,” The teen said, pushing the glasses up on his face. “Also! I can introduce myself… Thank you very much! Hello… I’m Tsukishima, the son of Athena. Stay out of my way shimpy and we’ll get along just fine.”

“Why I otta smash your face in!” Tanaka growled, walking towards Tsukishima while rolling up his sleeves. While the two were having an argument on the other side of the room, a boy with greenish brown hair made his way to Hinata’s bed.

“Hi! I’m Yamaguchi… The son of A-Aphrodite… I know that’s kind of a shocker but yeah. I-It’s nice to meet you,” He said, bowing a bit and Hinata gave him a small back. When the two straightened up they smiled at each other. But when Hinata looked past Yamaguchi he saw there was one more teen standing in the room.

“Who’s that?” Hinata asked, pointing to the figure behind Yamaguchi and the latter immediately flinched and used his body to quickly block Hinata. “Yamaguchi? Who is he?”

“That’s Toboi Kageyama… Just don’t interact with him. It’s not worth it. He might be a son of Athena like Tsukki but he’s brutal. Just- Just- You’ll see what I mean after you’ve been here for awhile,” Yamaguchi said in a hushed tone as he looked behind him and let out a sigh. “Alright… He didn’t notice you looking at him. Just- Just don’t be- Be you around him. Just try not to be seen by him. Getting noticed isn’t worth it.”

“A-Alright… Yamaguchi. I’ll try my best,” Hinata said nervously as he looked around to the special bunch of teens that were in the room.

This place was really weird…

But it was pretty fun!
