CHAPTER 2: The King's Order

How does it feel to be held by a man?

Fuck happened.

Well, literally.

Yet here he is, soundly asleep on my shoulders.

Seemed like I ate too much, too enough that I'm unable to digest what happened last night.

Just what the hell?

Yet I'm hungry.

Flashback to that warm night: Tsukishma got off them both from his expertly guts. Well, that proved he's a natural. After the 'coming' they both fell and melt, as Kageyama drew back his pants on and slid down against the wall in his weakened knees, the tall boy, flushed as ever, fell before his shoulder as he journeyed to sleep. Kageyama couldn't help it, as the boy in his shoulder was calmly breathing like a baby in his crib, closed his eyes and wondered to the world of night too.

Kageyama was puzzled as he woke up and opened his eyes just to see the reality right before him. He palmed his face as if he would understand what the hell had happened the very last night by doing so. He looked around the gym as the sunrise was slowly greeting the floors through the windows.

They'll be here soon. He said to himself. He couldn't move on his position since he didn't want to wake up the boy beside him and he had no idea how he'd deal with this. So, all he could do was to yawn soundless.

Suddenly, he heard a whistling noise and clanging chains outside. At long last.

The door opened wide.

"Rise and shine! Buckleheads!"

That made Tsuki woke up, eyes wide on the holy skin-head man smiling rather annoying than bright.

"Tanaka-senpa-" He was stopped when Kageyama beside him stood up fast to attack that senpai.

"You locked us!" He shouted when he grabbed his senpai's collar. Tanaka reverted.

"W-w-wait! It wasn't my idea!" Tanaka protested and he removed Kageyama's hands off him.

"Oh yeah, but you're accomplice." Kageyama spat out, his usual grouchy face was back.

"Ne, Tanaka senpai, why would you do that?" Tsukishima asked after he stood up and refreshed himself.

"Well now, isn't it obvious?" He questioned back.

"Obvious what? Because of our fighting?" Kageyama asked as if it wasn't that.

"Hm...that two hearts must be connected?" It should be a statement not a question, but Tanaka preferred to tease the two. And, it meant that they should mend, but it was double-meaning to the two.

"What d'you m-" They love cutting off sentences I suppose.

"Oh that." Tsukishima's the one who cut off the King. He tucked his glasses and then walked near Kageyama, grabbed his hands and

"We still need to talk." dragged him and ran leaving the skin-head on the gym.

"Now, now, I didn't see that coming." The senpai put his hands on his waist and smiled like he was so proud on what wonders were about to come.

Meanwhile...

"H-hey, where are we going?" The King asked the boy who had been holding his hands while dragging and running him nowhere.

The trail they ran lead to the locker room. Tsukishima, still silent, released Kageyama's hand and swiftly opened the door and got their bags...and then, he held to drag, off to run again with his King.

"H-hey Tsukishima! The hell! I'm getting tired!" It was since Tsukishima didn't give him chance to at least breath as he dragged him to nowhere.

Where is nowhere anyway?

They're out of school now, on a street side. Tsukishima turned left, and there, on a playground, he finally stopped, turned around Kageyama and never yet releasing his hand. But Kageyama withdrew it anyways. So, the two boys' hands were on their knees, both gasping air.

"What...what the hell!? It's so early and I just woke up and I am hungry and you made me running all the way here!" Oh dear, this King, no matter what, would never ran out energy to be angry.

"Talk... Let's talk." Tsuki replied rather calmly, and he stood up high, well, literally.

"Oh." Not knowing what to say or to ask or what, Kageyama chose to look away.

"Uhm..." Tsuki looked left as if there's something to look at it and scratched his neck, then tucked his glasses and made so many unnecessary movements... He's being uneasy, anyone could tell.

"About last night..."

"I'm really...uhm, you know..." He can't look at Kageyama. He was embarassed, that was given, yet his reddened face was just way forbidden. "Honestly, I never thought I felt like this towards you, that I like you that's why I kept on hating you, that I am rather just wanting your attention. I'm never been aware of this until last night… I actually am jealous to Hinata since he can make your quick and that he can catch your pace and your sets, that you are strong duo or so...and that, I apologize for being mean, still, yeah, maybe I l-like you."

You know how special Kageyama to this boy?

Tsukishima never completely reveal what was everything on his mind like this.

Tsukishima never talked this long before.

To that sentiment, Kageyama ran out of words.

"Uhm, that's all I w-wanted to say. Bye." Tsuki said, looking so dejected as if Kageyama's silence was a rejection. So, he turned around to get out of the playground, to get out of the pain- he had been feeling ever since last night.

Yet, before he could even take a step, his hand was chained, by the other boy, of his King, stopping him from leaving, as if he won't come back anymore when he let him go.

Tsukishima didn't look back; he stayed still, facing his back to the King.

"We'll talk, you said, but you're not going to give me a chance to have a word? That wasn't fair Tsuki." Kageyama was being reserved while he held the tall boy's hand, tight.

"H-hey, look at me..." He commanded as he lightly pulled his hand.

"Wh-why would I?" Tsukishima tucked his glasses again as if he would be able to look back if he did so.

"Cause I'm talking to you." He closed his eyes as he slowly moved around in front of Kageyama.

He didn't open his eyes, nor retreat his hands, and his face wasn't in front, it was bowing down right side.

"Hey, open your eyes. Look at me." The King commanded.

"I-I can't!" He shouted and closed his eyes tighter that his face was almost folded.

"Open your eyes. This is your King's order." Tsukishima was surprised and so as Kageyama to what he just had said. Here came the two opened shinning eyes of the tall boy.

"Oh..." His mouth was hanging, did he just acknowledged him? What does that mean? He asked to himself.

"Five days. Give me five days and I'll think about this. Ask me again on the last day...or at least...let's try to get along, like the captain want..." The King wavered this condition.

"O-okay." It feels so fine, at the very least, he wasn't rejected- and so he'll look forward after the five days he's pretty sure he could deal with it just fine for now...

And there was an eerie silence...

...well that was before their stomachs growl.

They looked at each other and laughed to that funny sound.

"I guess we should grab foods first." Tsuki said, smiling.

"Yeah, we haven't had any since last night." Kageyama followed.

And the two, obviously, went to eat a pack of dinner and breakfast and chose not to attend their morning classes so they could go on their each home and catch up some rest.

"See you later."

And they parted ways.
