If there were three words Kageyama Tobio would use to describe his best friend, it would be these: a complete idiot. Of course, it was not without good reason(at least, in his eyes). For him, his partner was so stupid at times. Like the time he ran into the ref's chair at their first game. Or when he ran into the net at volleyball practice. Or that time when he got so nervous he threw up on Tanaka's pants. Or maybe that time when he freaked out over Nishinoya's 'special move', Rolling Thunder Again. Point was, he wasn't exactly the roundest ball on the court.
And nobody on the team could fault him for it. Mostly because the majority of them were idiots outside the court, but nobody wanted to acknowledge that fact. Returning to the fact that his partner was an idiot, Kageyama almost couldn't believe it.
Almost a year ago, he didn't even know the name of the player he had grown fond of: Hinata Shoyo. All he had known was that damn, who the hell was that red-headed midget? What was he doing for three years? How could he let those natural talents go to waste?!
But that was all behind him now. Behind them. Everything about his past: his lifestyle, his thought process, his teammates, his demands; it was all behind everyone. Everyone had chosen to let him start over. To end his reign as 'king'.
If anyone had chosen to help him start over though, it had been Hinata. Dumbass Hinata. Hinata who had put up with his stuck-up attitude. Hinata who had trained and trained so he would accept him. Hinata who had chosen to be his partner and defended him against the taunts that pushed him down and ruined him.
In a way, Hinata was his savior. It was stupid, but that's what Kageyama thought at times, when the small red-head jumped around, smiling, and pulled him onto the court to practice even after they had just worn themselves out at practice. Not that he ever truly complained.
Because if Hinata did anything besides be an idiot and play volleyball, it was complete him.
Next: Deserted - Free!
A/N: So… This isn't supposed to be KageHina? Not really? I never intended it to be, as much as I love the pairing. It almost kinda turned into a sort of character study for Kageyama? I didn't intend for that to happen either. I didn't intend for a lot of things to happen, actually. I had started this off intending to use the thought, "Hinata is a complete idiot." and then I thought of and started veering towards the idea of "Hinata completes the team." I started to mash them together and then I ended up with the thought "Hinata completes Kageyama." Yeah… Oh, well. I hope you guys like it!
