[1]: Let's get those two together, alone. -Sugawara Koushi

After the whole ordeal with Hinata's mother, the following few days were quite eventful. The atmosphere between Kageyama and Hinata had gradually become awkward. The words between them became little and quiet but went right to the loud volume it usually was when they weren't talking to each other. Their game in practice and practice matches were still surprisingly top notch, since hand signals didn't require much eye contact. However couldn't physically look at each other. Every time they did that, their faces became ten different shades of red.

Although other people would wonder what was wrong with the oddball duo, Karasuno's volleyball team knew better.

The practice that afternoon had ended and the first years were told to stay and clean up. Outside the gymnasium, the first years minus the power couple stood next to the steel doors. They looked inside the gym through a crack in the door.

"Look how awkward they're being," Yamaguchi whispered to Yachi and the two of them giggled and Tsukishima dutifully stood next to them. Hinata and Kageyama were still cleaning up what remained in the gym but they were doing so with minimal contact with each other, both physical and eye contact. When they did make any sort of contact, they would sputter incoherently before darting to either end of the gym.

"Their crushes on each other are so obvious," Yachi whispered when the three got a glimpse at the light ginger's bright red face. "I hope they'll tell each other soon. They deserve to be happy together. I want to make the designs for their outfits!"

"What?" Yamaguchi gaped, "That'll take too long and we won't be able to hold their wedding before the preliminaries!"

"Why does it need to be held before the preliminaries?" the girl asked, peering at Yamaguchi instead of the door.

"They'll have their honeymoon at the nationals. Daichi-senpai and Suga-senpai told us the whole plan. You weren't there, Yachi."

Tsukishima was silent while listening to the two's whisper-conversation while keeping an eye out for anyone who would be coming their way. He didn't like either Hinata or Kageyama as much as everyone else but he cared enough for them to help with the plan they had. Speaking of the plan…

Tsukishima felt his phone vibrate and he quietly picked up the call. "Moon Glasses, the king and the queen are approaching the gate, over." Tsukishima rolled his eyes at Tanaka attempting to act like a spy and moved. He met eyes with Yamaguchi and the shorter teen brandished a key from his pocket. Pushing the other two away gently, Tsukishima quickly but quietly slid the door closed and Yamaguchi locked the door in place. Sparing glances at each other, Yamaguchi and Yachi fled from the scene and Tsukishima took out his phone.

"The door's locked and secured. Good luck." He muttered into it before shutting it closed and following them.

Inside the gymnasium, Kageyama was struggling with the gym door. The other one was locked, that much they knew since Ukai and Takeda had left early and locked it. But the one with no green railings leading into the building wasn't locked. At least, not until they actually checked it.

"Damn it!" Kageyama hissed, "We're locked in." He kicked the door for extra measure and slid down to the ground. Hinata gaped at the door before he proceeded to slid down next to him. Now on a normal day, Hinata didn't mind spending the rest of the day with Kageyama, but with his feelings in a tumble, he really didn't feel up to it. In fact, he wanted to run away from Kageyama as fast as possible and jump into his bed to shield the world from his… less than innocent thoughts.

The two boys sat near each other silently. They could have retreated to other parts of the gym, but they were unwilling to do so. Both of their feelings were in a frenzy. They wanted to stay away from each other, but also wanted to stay close to each other as much as possible. They didn't want to confront their feelings, but at the same time they wanted to know what the other felt.

Hinata knew the build up of his feelings happened long before Yachi joined, before even Asahi and Nishinoya. He supposed it wasn't really love at first; it was admiration. Although he "hated" the single minded setter with a passion when he first joined, Hinata couldn't help but awe at the sight that was Kageyama Tobio in his environment. As the time passed, thoughts like "I wonder what I got on the quiz last period" and "I know I'm gonna have extra lunch. More for tomorrow!" became "I wonder if Kageyama studied for that quiz he told be about. I probably not." and "I have extras for Kageyama later, I guess."

Kageyama was no better, but his love for the squirt developed later than Hinata's. He didn't know when it had all started, but he was aware of it early on. Not much could impress the setter when it came to volleyball, but Hinata struck that chord hard during the match against Asahi, Nishinoya, Suga, and the neighborhood association. The light ginger seemed so discouraged at his position as a decoy so what more did Kageyama need to do than to knock some sense into him? "As long as I'm here, you're invincible." It was then that Kageyama noticed his feelings towards the shorter veered straight past brotherly.

So the oddball duo of Karasuno was having a crisis. Neither of them were adept at things like emotions and feelings and love. But being single-minded idiots, the two were much less ready to confront their feelings.

"Hinata-" "Um, can I-" the two stopped stared at each other, their hands slowly inching towards the other and their eyes locked together. Shortly after they flushed and turned away, but they had already caught each other's attention. Hinata glanced at Kageyama quickly.

"Hey, you can, uh, talk first," he muttered loudly enough to reach the setter's ears. Hinata scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and Kageyama slowly inched toward the middle blocker.

"Hinata, what your mom said, was that true?" Kageyama asked and Hinata flushed. The setter's face was tilted to the right a tad but his face was as red as the decoy's. Hinata gulped and nodded. Kageyama became even redder at that. He leaned back on the wall.

"So we were actually married?" Hinata thought it was impossible to have his face get any redder; it wasn't. He was as bright as a tomato right now. Was the idiot trying to rub it in? Hinata didn't mind being... married… but if Kageyama was just going to complain, he should just spit it out!

"Hey, if you're gonna complain about it, at least be honest," Hinata grumbled, deciding to voice out his thoughts. Kageyama looked at him with wide eyes and Hinata meant to meet him halfway with a glare but something stopped something was how flushed Kageyama's cheeks looked and how surprised the setter was feeling. Kageyama diverted his eyes from the middle blockers' onto the floor.

"I wasn't going to complain," he mumbled, barely loud enough for Hinata to hear, "I was going to say that…" the rest was said under his breath and Hinata became a little bit irked.

"What was that, Bakageyama?!" Hinata fake-shouted, getting a glare from the setter. Kageyama's cheeks didn't redden, but he wrung his fingers together. He turned his head away from Hinata so that Hinata couldn't see his face at all.

"I was going to say that I didn't mind being married to you, idiot," Kageyama was facing away from Hinata, but the decoy knew that he was probably red all over. Hinata understood, after all he was red all over too. He thought he heard a faint click from where the balcony was, but his mind ignored that. They were alone. There was no way someone else was in there with them. Kageyama looked over at him with his signature frown-pout, but that lacked the usual hostility it had. "Are you going to say anything, dumbass?"

"Ah, um," Hinata looked everywhere but the setter; his mind was reeling, "Well, I don't mind being married to you too." He trailed off at the end of his sentence, unsure of the setter's reaction.

"Really? You're not lying?" Kageyama asked and Hinata scoffed.

"Would I really lie about something like this? Stupid." the light ginger replied with his arms crossed at his chest. Hinata heard Kageyama inhale and exhale. The setter shuffled closer, close enough where Kageyama could reach out for the older's hand.

"I like you. A lot," Kageyama blurted and Hinata blinked in surprise, "Ever since I met you I think but I didn't know until the match against the senpais." Hinata still didn't look at the other but he was surprised. Kageyama stared at Hinata and he was beginning to feel annoyed. "Say something, dammit." The setter sighed.

"Hinata." the aforementioned boy flinched, "Look at me." Kageyama stared at Hinata with such intensity that was never seen on the court. Hinata's eyes slowly strayed from their path across the gym to meet Kageyama's.

Pools of storm blue met with flaming balls of orange that were stoked at the moment. The two slowly crept closer towards each other unconsciously. They never tore their eyes away from each other and then the thing they knew, they were close enough that their faces were inches apart.

"I guess," Hinata spoke, breath tickling Kageyama's face, "Being married to you wouldn't so bad. I like you too, Kags." Hinata grinned and a ghost of a smile flitted onto Kageyama's face. Both their faces were unbelievably red and they were shiveringly in what they figured was anticipation, but they were at peace. Hinata smiled at Kageyama.

"Do you know how to do the whole relationship thing, Kageyama?" he asked and Kageyama shook his head. "Neither do I."

"Then let's take it slow," the taller said and he hesitantly reached out for Hinata's hand. Hinata raised his hand halfway and their hands interlocked. The moment they did, they heard a click in the door. Both head snapped to the sound and realization dawned on them. Tugging his hand free from Kageyama's grip, Hinata jumped up from his place on the floor and ran up to the door. He tried to open it and it successfully came open.

"Hey! The door's open! We could leave!" Hinata laughed. Kageyama stood up and walked over to Hinata as the shorter pushed the door open all the way. Hinata grinned triumphantly at his work and Kageyama picked up both his and the shorter's bags. He threw the bag towards the decoy, who caught it with ease. The flush in both of their cheeks disappeared with the cold air and both their minds became one tracked again. Or two tracked.

"It isn't that late yet," Kageyama remarked, "You want to go to the Coach's shop for meat buns?" Hinata grinned up at the setter.

"A date already, Kageyama-kun? I thought you wanted to take it slow!" he laughed and Kageyama crossed his arms.

"We're married already," he pointed out, "We shouldn't be new to this." How Kageyama just said that with his normal face baffled the decoy.

"Geez Kageyama, it's been ten years! You really think we can do it right off the bat?"

"It's not that hard, right?"

"I hope not! Come on, let's get those meat buns! I'm leaving the light on! Whoever unlocked the door must have neede to get something!" The door shut closed behind them and the gym was left silent. The door of the supplies closet rattled and the door in the balcony slowly opened. With the coast clear, the spies snuck out with no thought of the sudden rise in noise level.

A crying Tanaka and Nishinoya slid down the metal ladder that led up to the balcony. Nishinoya had a camera dutifully hanging around his neck. Pairs of binoculars hung around both the second years' necks but neither of them brought tissues.

"Our kouhai are growing up!" Tanaka cried loudly while Nishinoya noisily sniffed in agreement. Tanaka raised his hand upward, as if imagining something, "I can see it now, the party, the food, the gifts, the party, the ceremony, the party…" As Tanaka added things in between the party, Daichi was basically carrying Suga out of the supplies closet. The silver haired third year was in a blissfully comatose state, laying in the arms of the younger. There was a smile on his face: small, angelic, and really cute, if Daichi may say so himself. Asahi trailed behind them, a tad pale when Suga fainted. His phone was placed against his ear.

"Thanks Tsukishima," he said into it. A faint 'hm' was heard before the call was dropped. Asahi locked his phone and sighed. Daichi sighed along with him.

"Any chance Suga will wake up soon?" Asahi asked the captain. A smile was on the wing spiker's face as he shook his head.

"I guess part one of the plan was successful?" Daichi asked the three around him. Asahi nodded with a slight laugh and the second years stuck their thumbs up, tears still falling from their cheeks like waterfalls.

Part one was complete. Next part, the proposal.

Preview for 3:

"Nope."

"Then what?"

"A volleyball."

After Notes: I don't have a set schedule for updates, but with mind-winter break coming up, I'll have more time to work on this and the other one shots and stories planned.
