Author's Note: In honor of tonight's full moon and Kyoutani's big match being featured in the anime, I decided to start posting my sequel story to By the Light of the Moon, which I would recommend be read before this one if you haven't read it already :) There are some NSFW-ish elements in this first part. Enjoy~

It's going to be a beautiful night…

The thought dance in your head as you watch the sun slowly set over the horizon. The sky is rich and gorgeous and swirling with colour, and you can already just see a hint of deep blue from the approaching night.

Beautiful…

The wind blows gently around you, and you sigh happily. It's still so hot out, and the air can feel so heavy and stagnant sometimes, that you're very grateful for every gentle breeze that comes your way. You push up the hair covering your neck, enjoying the cool air on your skin, humming softly in delight.

A powerful hand snaps out to grab your wrist, fingers gripping you possessively.

"…Do you want me to attack you here?"

The deep, husky voice sounds right against your ear, lips brushing just against your skin, his hot breath wafting over you. You feel teeth just pressing against the shell of your earlobe, before they're pulled away.

You're frozen, your breath hitching in your throat. You can feel your heart beating rapidly, and you know it's not just from the surprise of hearing his voice.

In a flash of impossibly quick movement Kyoutani is suddenly in front of you, leaning down to growl into your hair, one hand still gripping the wrist of the hand you're holding your hair up with, while his other hand grabs the side of your hip. You take a long, shuddering breath as he inhales your scent deeply. He slowly exhales, and a shiver runs down your spine as you feel his breath hitting your neck. You desperately try to ignore how a particular spot on your neck tingles, a mark you could practically feel Kyoutani's fierce gaze burning into.

"You don't get how good you smell…" He murmurs darkly, leaning in closer. His body presses against you, his pelvis pushing against your stomach, which reacts by fluttering in excitement. You shiver as you give a long exhale, before you decide to have a little fun of your own.

"Is that so?" You hum softly. You rest your free hand on his broad chest, spreading your fingers and feeling the muscles beneath his skin flex in response to your touch. You can still feel his hot breath falling on your neck.

"My body feels like it's on fire." He growls, his teeth brushing against your skin, against the spot you know is driving him crazy. "I need you. Now."

You know you should push him away now, but you can't. He feels so, so good against you, and there's something powerful emanating from him that makes you shake. You're afraid of how good he makes you feel…of how unnaturally good he's making you feel, right now.

You know with how wild and uncontrollable he can be, you need to be the one in control of yourself. In control for the good of both of you. The problem is, right now, there's something about him that's making you scared that you can't keep that control. It was almost supernatural.

Well, knowing what was happening tonight…

"Kyoutani…" You murmur softly, pleadingly. His hand gives your hip a strong squeeze, and then slowly travels up your body. His thumb hooks under the bottom of your uniform shirt and pulls it up slightly, his other fingers following behind and brushing over the bare skin of your stomach, leaving your skin tingling. Even as he lets your shirt fall his hand keeps rising, resting on your shoulder before he grasps the hand you were resting on his chest, threading his fingers through yours. His other hand releases your wrist and his strong grip finds its way to the small of your back instead.

"I thought you only went wild during the night." You laugh desperately, struggling to keep calm as he starts to kiss your neck. He nips at it, surprisingly gently, before he moves his lips to your ear, his teeth just brushing against your skin. For some reason, his restraint only made the desire building up in you even stronger.

"You drive me wild 24/7." He replies seriously, his eyes flashing hungrily as he pulls back to look you in the eye. He grins, baring his teeth in a way that's practically feral. You swallow as his hands tighten their grip on you, and you're suddenly overwhelmed by the strong, dominating feeling emanating off of him. Your free hand nervously rests on his shoulder, which you grip tightly as you try to keep yourself standing. You make a small whimper, which Kyoutani responds to with a husky grunt, his mouth quickly moving towards your trembling lips…

It's then that a loud, exaggerated cough surprises you both, and you jump away from Kyoutani in a terrified panic (or, as far as you can jump). He growls under his breath, his hands still tightly holding you (which was good, since you'd have undoubtedly fallen back on your backside with how shaky your legs were) as he turns to the source, and you follow his gaze.

You see a very, very uncomfortable looking Kindaichi, who is pointedly avoiding looking at either of you, and looks like he'd really rather be anywhere else in the world than here at this moment.

"Did you know he was here?!" You whisper loudly, in such a way you may as well have forgone the attempt at whispering at all, as you stare up at Kyoutani anxiously. You think the only one with a redder face than you is Kindaichi, and considering how unbearable hot your face feels that is really saying something.

You wish you could apologise to your poor kohai, but you're too embarrassed to even speak to him.

"I could smell he was close by, but I thought he'd be smart enough to leave us alone." Kyoutani snaps, his eyes sharply glaring at Kindaichi. He was clearly furious, and you can admit, even though you're more horribly embarrassed, you understand why he'd be angry at this unexpected interruption.

It was hours after school ended, and only a little while after Kyoutani's volleyball practice and your club activities had ended. You were in a considerably private, poorly lit corner at the back of the school, where you'd stopped to admire the sunset for a little while as Kyoutani was walking you home. It was a hard to find area, one that was always, always deserted after school, much less this late. It wasn't exactly a place you'd have ever expected to be caught…

But, as you realise just how out of control you and Kyoutani were getting, and with night rapidly approaching, you had to admit it was probably a good thing Kindaichi had interrupted you two before things went too far. You shouldn't have needed Kindaichi here to come to the realisation things had gotten out of hand, but you did, and it really made you appreciate that he'd shown up, even with the horrible embarrassment.

So, despite how difficult it is to even look him in the eye and how desperately you wish you were somewhere else as much as Kindaichi does, you smile kindly at him, trying to put the horrified boy at ease.

He always seemed a little nervous around you, and especially so around Kyoutani. Well, you could understand Kyoutani, who wasn't the best at putting people at ease and was pretty intimidating even when he wasn't trying to be, but you had always tried to be friendly to the lower year students! After how poorly you'd been treated as one, you had made every effort to be a good senpai. Getting caught in a compromising position with your boyfriend by a one of those lower year students not withstanding…

"D—Do you need something, Kindaichi-kun?" You stammer, trying to sound calm and kind, as you pull your hands off of Kyoutani. Or rather, try to. He stubbornly refuses to release the hand he's holding, obviously still angry about being interrupted in the first place.

"Ah—The captain." Kindaichi coughs uneasily, still not looking at either of you. "He wants to speak to Kyoutani-senpai."

You can already sense Kyoutani's mood improving, if only by a tic. He'd never admit that such a thing could matter to him, but he liked being called senpai, especially by people on his team. And Kindaichi had a respectful way of speaking to the upper years that Kyoutani extra liked, another thing he'd never admit to.

"…This important?" He asks gruffly, his voice low. His gaze turns sharp, and you can tell the atmosphere around him has turned serious. Kindaichi looks a little encouraged by not getting growled or snapped at, so he dares to look up at Kyoutani, finally, and nods.

"Iwaizumi-senpai said it was." Kindaichi replies.

Well, that cinches it. Kyoutani might dismiss Kindaichi and pointedly ignore Oikawa, especially if he was angry or it interrupted time he was spending with you, but he always listened to Iwaizumi.

Kyoutani makes a sound that somewhere between a groan and a growl from the back of his throat, before he turns to you. His fingers squeeze yours gently.

"You can get home by yourself alright?" He asks, his voice deep and sombre.

"…Well, I don't plan on stopping to talk to any big bad wolves on my way to deliver my baked goods to grandmother's house." You tease him, sticking your tongue out playfully. Kyoutani snorts loudly, and you can see he's trying not to laugh. You smile, and give him a quick, affectionate kiss on the nose.

"I'm a big girl, and I walked myself home every day when you were away at training camp. You don't need to worry about me." You finish.

He opens his mouth to say something, before his eyes suddenly dart to Kindaichi, who jumps in surprise as the attention turns to him before quickly looking away. Kyoutani closes his mouth, and turns back to you. He looks oddly serious and pensive for a moment, before he speaks up.

"Get home before dark." He tells you sternly. "I'll call you when I'm done to make sure you're safe."

"…Will I get to see you—"

"Not now." He interrupts you far too quickly, and harshly, glaring at you with surprise and genuine anger. He knows exactly what you're going to ask…not surprising, since you'd been asking him about it for a month, and there was never any doubt you'd ask him tonight in particular. But Kyoutani was stubborn, and he refused you every time.

You feel your heart sink, and he looks away before the disappointed expression on your face can get to him.
