Hinata Shouyou was the kind of person that you automatically paid attention to. Whether he was trying to grab your focus or not he'd manage to; with his bubbly personality, friendly face, and boldness it was hard to ignore him. It had been that way since he was little with old ladies passing by would stop to coo over him other kids walking up asking him to play. Even though he was short, it wasn't easy to just look over his head without noticing something about him.
There was something different, though, about Kageyama.
Kageyama seemed to easily ignore Hinata unless he was being tackled or spoken to, or just bugged by Hinata. He was doing it right now, sitting on the other side of his room next to the door with his nose buried in a book. Hinata had already tried to grab the other's attention, claiming that he was bored with studying and couldn't they do something fun, Kageyama?
No such luck. He had even tried to tempt Kageyama with volleyball since it was still light out, but all he got was "dumbass, we already practiced and we need to study".
Now Hinata was lying down on the floor (he was no longer allowed on Kageyama's bed since he had fallen asleep last time) bored out of his mind. Studying was awful, he couldn't practice volleyball, and Kageyama was just being no fun. He needed some attention and he was going to get it. Suddenly, and idea popped in his head. He grinned, rolling over to hide it because if Kageyama saw that grin then he'd know that Hinata was up to something.
"Hey. Hey, Kageyama. Kageyama I'm thirsty." He called in a whiny voice, peeking over his shoulder.
"Then go get some water, dumbass." Kageyama muttered, not looking up from his book (but his gaze had turned into a glare which Hinata counted as a win).
"Okay!" Hinata hopped up off the floor and stared walking over to the door. He paused in front of it and looked down next to him at Kageyama. "Hey, Kageyama?"
Kageyama sighed heavily, eyebrows bunching up. "What?"
"Are you ticklish?" Hinata asked before diving onto Kageyama. Kageyama only managed to look up with an expression of panic before Hinata was on him, pushing him down until the back of his head hit the floor with a thud. Hinata could see the anger manifesting on Kageyama's face and he knew that if he didn't act fast that he'd be the one with his back to the floor, so he wrapped his legs around Kageyama's waist and his fingers went to tickle Kageyama's side.
Apparently Kageyama was ticklish because as soon as Hinata started Kageyama started to giggle. Both boys froze, Kageyama out of embarrassment and Hinata out of surprise. He thought to himself that he'd never hear a sound like that come out of Kageyama as Kageyama slapped his hands over his mouth. "You are ticklish!" Hinata proclaimed in glee before continuing. Underneath him Kageyama thrashed and tried to keep his laughter behind his hands.
"Hinata! You- you idiot! Get off of me!" He tried to push Hinata's hands away from him, but Hinata wasn't going to give up so easily.
"Nope! This is what you get for-" Hinata started to laugh himself, but ended up letting his guard down because Kageyama had managed to grab ahold of his wrists before rolling them over so he was above Hinata. "-not paying attention to me." Hinata finished with a gulp, looking up at Kageyama. This is exactly what he didn't want to happen!
Kageyama's face was flushed with laughter and embarrassment, ruining the effect of his death glare. "Dumbass." He muttered. "I hate you." He sighed, sitting up.
Hinata watched him before beaming with a laugh. "No you don't!"
"Yes, I do." Kageyama said seriously, staring down at Hinata. He almost started to get up when instead he reached over and started to tickle Hinata's stomach. A smile replaced the frown on his face when he heard how Hinata squealed with laughter.
