See nice Oikawa text Hinata. See scheming Oikawa text Kageyama. Oikawa's intentions are good though, they really are.
There was a moment of silence, promptly broken by Natsu flinging the door open. Her mouth was open, ready to yell at her Nii-chan to be quiet; the whole house was trying to sleep. The orange kitty perched on the window sill let out a high-pitched meow and tumbled out the half-open window. Natsu's eyes widened, fixed on the spot where the kitty had been moments ago, "Nii-chan?" She rushes to the window, and looks down at the grass. She let out a happy sigh when she saw the kitty get back on its paws, it's left ear twitching. It paused for a moment, and brown eyes met Natsu's own. "Come back soon, Nii-chan!" Natsu whispers. The kitty's whiskers twitch, bringing a big smile to Natsu's face. Natsu goes back to bed, closing Hinata's bedroom door quietly behind her.
(^^^)
Hinata's eyes follow Natsu's movements, then turns away when Natsu leaves to go to sleep. A cool breeze passes by, reminding him of the airplane that had been there and what was he thinking about again before Natsu had scared him, looking possibly five times larger than before. Oh right, Kageyama... Hinata looks up at the window sill. Well, there was no way he was going to be able to get back up there now-not that he really wanted to. He padded to the road, looking at the now seemingly impossible long path downhill. The bright moon overhead would be his source of light, and he had nothing better to do. Hinata gave himself a good shake, then started down the hill towards Kageyama's house.
Typical Hinata.
Here he was, right in front of the ridiculously tall door-Kageyama right on the other side-but he had no means to get inside. Well, he could knock, but everyone would probably be asleep in the middle of the night. Hinata looked up at the dark sky that had a light horizon far off in the east. Okay, so it wasn't the middle of the night now, but there had to be a more effortless way to do this-Ah. Hinata's eyes lit up when he saw the spruce tree at the side of the house, one of it's long branches practically touching the partially opened window. Bingo.
He threw himself at the tree, and scampered upwards, eyes fixated on the branch that led to the open window. To do a good jump, there needs to to be a good approach. He picked up speed, his hindlegs kicking off right at the edge of the branch. He ducked his head and shoom, he's inside. He's falling inside.
Apparently it's not luck, but Hinata's superb reflexes that cause him to land on his feet. However, anyone could argue that it was luck that left Hinata to land in a pile of soft, very soft, things. Well, most of them were soft, except for the metal water bottle that Hinata accidently wacked his tail over. Other than that, everything else... smells like Kageyama. Wait. That was not what Hinata wanted to say to himself. Totally not. Well, to be fair, it did smell like Kageyama. Hinata automatically let out a soft purr, before burying his face into the nearest softest cloth-was it a towel, maybe? He started to feel the long trek to Kageyama's place catching up to him. Hinata's eyelids started to droop. He inhaled Kageyama's scent. It was so soft...and warm...the warmth radiated off of himself but... He pawed at the clothing, careful to keep his claws-he discovered them while climbing the tree-sheathed. Hinata finally stopped, dove into the little nest he had made for himself.
Hinata paused. Where was he inside, exactly?
Did it even matter where he was? He yawned, wrapping his tail around himself. He could look for Kageyama tomorrow. Right now, the softness and Kageyama's scent were (almost) enough.
(^^^)
Bzz. Bzz. Practice is the first thing that pops into Kageyama's mind, pulling him from his latest dream of who knows what. He lies there for a few moments, thinking about the volleyball practice, that last jump serve he did, tossing, and Hinata-NO. Must. Not. Think. Hinata. NO. NO. NO THINKING ABOUT HIM. Um. Kageyama's normal scowl turned into death scowl number one. Need... Hinata. NO. NO. Need... Distraction. Yes. DISTRACTION. Um.
Kageyama's brain does not function properly in the mornings. Especially during the first five minutes.
Distraction. Um. Bzz. Bzz. Why was his phone buzzing so early in the morning? It...also buzzed right when he woke up, didn't it? Or did it wake him up? Wasn't that his alarm clock's job? ...Maybe Hinata messaged him. A small smile made it's way to Kageyama's face. Suddenly, his corner of his lips twitched, and he instantly tried to rub the smile off his face. Hinata messaging him would not be a good thing. Hinata messaging him would mean that he would-
Kageyama opened his phone. Death scowl number one morphed back into normal frowny face as he scanned the noticifications. One unread message from Sugawara-san. One unread message from...Oikawa-senpai. Dammit. Kageyama's eyebrows knit with dissappointment. Secretly, not that he would ever admit it, his traiterous heart had been hoping that it had been Hinata who had sent the texts-OHMYGODNO.
To: Karasuno Volleyball Club
Hi ^.^ Morning practice is cancelled, sorry 'bout that. See you all at our afternoon practice!
Practice is so messed up these days.
Stupid Hinata.
WHY WAS HE EVEN THINKING ABOUT HINATA?!
However... Kageyama rubbed his chin Without morning practice, it should be easier to avoid Hinata altogether in the morning. Perhaps today was his lucky day. He would still need to get to school earlier than Hinata, to prevent overflowing feelings when Hinata would race him to the entrance. But without practice, he wouldn't need to stress himself out by resisting tossing to Hinata. That would be his highlight of the day...until the afternoon. He'll deal with that later. But first..
One unread message from Oikawa-senpai.
Kageyama narrowed his eyes, then opened it.
To: Tobio-chan
Tobio-chan! Feel free to come hang out with me and Iwa-chan once
you've figured out your life, 'kay? :)
Hah? Figured his life out? What was that suppose to mean? Kageyama reads over the message once again, wondering if he had missed some sort of hidden message. Apparently after reading in between the lines, Oikawa's message seemed even more stupid. And cryptic, considering this was Oikawa Tooru. Uh...What the hell. Kageyama tsked under his breath, turing his phone off.
After eating a quick breakfast, Kageyama slips on his karasuno jacket. He checks the time, making sure he'd be able to get to school way earlier than Hinata, then picks up his sports bag. It felt slightly heavier than usual. He was...probably just imagining it. "Tobio-chan, I'm coming home late today, okay?" Kageyama nods, not that his mother saw, and gives his usual "okay". He closes the door behind him.
(^^^)
..to be continued.
GUYS
when I was writing Oikawa's text to Kageyama
smf-Hahaha popped into my head
and now it won't go away
literally running through my head *hahahahahahahahaha* in that really deep sound
and then I started picturing Tsukishima going around muttering *hahahahaha* under his breath
I'm sorry this chapter was so short. Stuff here basically sets up the next chapter, that's all. I'm sorry. Yes, these details were important. Yes, it would be way better if I combined the next chapter with this one. But I couldn't get the time shift right. *all excuses I know* Thank you for being patient :)
