Synopsis: Suga's suffering continues. Kageyama is being bold. Some. Scenes. *cough*. News of a training camp. Ah. And yeah. Constant dorkiness, courtesy of Tanaka and Nishinoya.

CHAPTER TWO: RESTRAINT

"You don't have to look so angry," said Kageyama as he and Hinata trudged on their way home. The team had decided to drop by Ukai's store for a while to grab some food. Kageyama noticed that Hinata was hungrier than usual, prior to the fact that he had been staring longingly at a bunch of leftover dumplings.

"I'll take three of that," said Kageyama, placing a couple of bills on the counter,

"Rather the gentleman, aren't we?" Ukai said, smirking at Kageyama. Hinata looked flustered for a while.

"Just hungry as a horse." Kageyama took the bag of dumplings.

"Well then, we're taking this way," said Tanaka. "Take care you two!"

Kageyama merely nodded and bowed. "Thanks for the hard work, senpai."

Tanaka laughed. "Hahahaha! Well then, off we go! Oi Suga, whatcha starin' at?"

"N-Nothing…" The greyhead spoke, trying to smile.

Kageyama heaved a deep sigh.

"You know…"

Hinata was still maintaining a distance between them while walking. He also kept on looking back, fearful that one of the senpais had decided to follow them.

"Oi!" Kageyama gave Hinata a light punch on the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Hinata snapped, massaging his head.

"You don't have to be so angry."

"I'm not angry."

"Then what?"

"I'm just…it's just…you've been acting bold lately."

Kageyama gave another sigh. "I understand. I'm sorry okay? Now you can go walk a little bit closer with me. It's not like there's someone tailing us or something."

"H-Hai!" Hinata answered, finally walking side by side Kageyama. The two of them took a bit of their dumplings, savoring the price of a hard day's work.

"Hinata…"

"Hai?"

"Just what am I supposed to do then?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Hinata said, gazing at him with such innocence Kageyama had to stop himself from losing control.

"I mean…we have to keep this to ourselves right? That means I can't really be close to you when the senpais are around."

Hinata cast his eyes to the road. "I don't know…I don't even know how to control myself."

Kageyama looked at Hinata. "Eh?"

"Earlier…I was just staring at you…when you were drinking water…it was just…"

"It was?" Kageyama knew he had to ask it, no matter what. He had to push Hinata to the edge to know what exactly he was thinking. Not that he hasn't got any idea but…

"It was?" Kageyama repeated.

"I-It made me think of weird things..."

Heh…If only his brain could smirk, it had done so as soon as the shrimp said those words.

"Like what?"

"A-As if I could say it!"

"Hm…" Kageyama hummed as he walked in a faster pace.

There was a considerable bit of silence, but the moment Hinata stopped walking, Kageyama knew he had won.

"It made me wanna kiss you! There was just something in the way the water trailed down your lips—"

Kageyama had stopped walking. He then turned around and walked towards Hinata.

"That makes me happy then," the setter said, placing a hand over the orange head and patting it.

"Eh?"

"You were thinking of me. I thought I was the only one suffering."

"Of course not! I told you earlier didn't I? I was also restraining myself."

Kageyama smiled.

"I'm not really sure how to handle this, but then again, if I cross the line, you could always hit me."

"No way!"

"Didn't you throw a ball at me!"

"That was unintentional!"

"I know…I was just kidding…" Kageyama's voice had trailed off in low tone as he bent down to kiss Hinata.

Hinata closed his eyes and savored the sensation of his lips.

Kageyama withdrew his lips, but kept the inch-close distance between their faces.

"This is bad. I'm getting paranoid myself."

Hinata smiled. "No one is here…probably," the boy continued as both of them closed the distance, the former finally wrapping his arms around the taller one. It was moments like this when he actually appreciated the astounding height difference. Somehow, he felt safe with Kageyama. It was the same for Kageyama. The boy's small stature made him want to protect him, physically and mentally.

"Mmm…" Hinata sighed into Kageyama's mouth as he felt the latter push his lips with a subtle force against his.

"Hinata…" Kageyama whispered as he pushed Hinata gently against the wall.

"Kage—yama…" Hinata managed to say despite the fact that Kageyama's lips were now trailing down his neck, gently nibbling at the expanse of his skin.

"Ah-!"

Hinata's eyes shot open. "W-What's the matter?"

"I-I'm sorry! I mean…was that crossing the line?"

"E-Eh?"

"I mean…up until now, it was always your lips but—" This time, it was Kageyama who was now beet red.

Hinata could not help but let out a laugh.

"Pffft…and here I am thinking that you've been bold. So even the King can get flustered…"

"Don't laugh at me! This is my first! And you are my first!"

That got Hinata's heart racing.

"Sorry…I didn't mean to hurt you…"

Kageyama gulped. Hinata's apologetic face was another weakness of his.

"S-Should we continue?"

"I don't know…why ask me?!"

The two stared at each other for a long time.

"…"

"…"

Kageyama sighed.

"It's getting dark…" He said, averting his eyes from Hinata.

"A-Ah…indeed it is…"

"…"

"…"

It was Kageyama who first broke a smile. "Well, we have all the time in our hands. We don't need to rush everything."

Hinata smiled back. "Yeah."

Kageyama slowly withdrew his hands from Hinata's waist. So did Hinata.

"Ah—"

"What's the matter?"

"The dumplings have turned cold."

Kageyama chuckled. "Time really flies fast when you're happy." The taller boy held out his hand. "Come on, let's go. Your parents must be worried about you."

"H-Hai…" Hinata finally smiled. He then took hold of Kageyama's hand. And with that, for the first time, the two walked with their hands joined.

The next morning, Suga was still staring at the two players.

"Suga, I'm starting to think you're sick," Nishinoya mused, eyeing Suga with beady eyes.

"Ahahaha…am I?" Suga said with a laugh, scratching his head.

"Yeah, you've been staring at Kageyama and Hinata for quite a long time now, say, is there something wrong with those two?"

"Ahahaha…of course none. I'm just thinking about how great of a duo they are! Ah, need help with stretching Daichi?" Suga walked immediately towards the captain.

"Huh?" Nishinoya could only raise an eyebrow.

It was another intense day for the boys of Karasuno. Somehow, their newly-found coach, Ukai, have increased the load of their training sessions, not to mention the fact that he was being more and more critical of their serving and receiving stances. Even Daichi was adding to the stress. For the first time, Tanaka did not even open his mouth at Tsukishima nor any other member, yet the rest could clearly see his struggle against his temper. Kageyama and Tsukishima could only throw daggers at each other through their stares. In fact, Hinata and Nishinoya might be the only ones who remain cheerful despite the practices. Despite this, the boys had one thing in mind.

To win against their upcoming opponent—Nekoma.

"Okays! Time for a break!"

The boys gave a huge sigh of relief as the clock struck twelve. Somehow, lunch had been the longest time for leisure. Sure they can be in class, but apparently, all of them have found themselves playing volleyball in their minds while the teacher was giving his or her lecture.

"FOOOOOOOOOD!" Tanaka roared with delight as he rushed out of the gym, eager for battle.

"Don't go bullying the freshmen, Tanaka!" Daichi yelled after him. "Suga?"

"H-Hai! I'll be there in a moment. Just go ahead."

"Okay…" Daichi said, looking suspiciously at Suga. "Well then, we'll go ahead!"

Suga pretended stuffing some towel in his bag. Nishinoya and Asahi have proceeded to the locker room to fetch their stuff, while the extra members have all taken their exit.

It was just him, Kageyama, and Hinata.

"Hinata, you lost your timing earlier. You jumped a couple of seconds earlier."

"R-Really? Sorry, I didn't know that."

"Well, not that I'm faultless. I should've tossed the ball at Tanaka at that time."

"Doesn't matter, you're toss is still the best!", said Hinata, beaming at Kageyama.

Kageyama went red, and he almost placed his hands on Hinata's shoulders to pull him closer when he realized that Suga was still there.

What followed was an awkward silence.

This is bad. I can feel Kageyama throwing me some invisible curses…Suga said to himself.

"Well then…I-I'll go ahead myself!" Suga finally said, waving at the two.

"Hai senpai!"

"Kageyama, your eyes are sparkling."

"Whatever, Hinata," Kageyama said, grabbing Hinata's hand. "Let's go. We need energy."

"Ka-ge-ya-ma."

"Ah—sorry, it was just out of instinct."

Hinata bowed his head. "Well, no one could see us right now. Just let it go when you spot someone."

The shrimp took Kageyama's hand back.

The boys' eyes glowed as soon as their manager, Takeshi, disclosed the news.

"Pillow fight…" Nishinoya said with a dreamy look.

"Stupid Noya, it's all about being with Kiyoko-san for several nights!" Tanaka squealed, his eyes sparkling even brighter than the rest of the team.

Tsukishima scowled. "Can I just go back and sleep at my house? Don't wanna breathe the same air as these idiots."

"Maa, maa…don't be a killjoy, Tsukky~" Tanaka laughed, placing an arm around Tsukishima.

"T-Tsukky?!" The bespectacled blond said, horrified at the term of endearment.

"Pipe down! If you think this is a sleepover, then you can go and leave this team before I could even say Karasuno," Ukai snapped. Waving a piece of paper in his hands. "Kiyoko, would you mind preparing the menu for these idiots?"

Another bespectacled one, but this time, a beautiful girl with short black hair, nodded.

"I can die now. We get to taste Kiyoko-san's cooking!" Nishinoya raised his fists in triumph. Tanaka did the same.

"Why don't you two just die now?" Tsukishima snapped.

"That's enough!" Daichi roared, standing infront the team. "Don't forget that we—"

"Yes we know," Tanaka cut, grinning.

"We're gonna crush those cats with our claws!"

Takeda, the club adviser, could not help but smile. "So nice that they're all fired up now, na Ukai-kun?"

Ukai merely scratched his head. "Huh…as long as they know what they gotta to do, we're fine I guess."

Kageyama took a glance of Hinata. The shrimp had not uttered a word since the news of a training camp. Yet judging from his almost-teary eyed expression, the shrimp was basking in happiness. It was probably his first time to join a training camp. The setter merely smiled.

Hinata finally looked at Kageyama, snot almost falling from his nose.

"Ugh, you look stupid."

"But this is my first time doing this!"

"You always get happy over 'firsts' don't you?"

"Of course, the first is always the best!"

"Like our first kiss?" Kageyama whispered.

That made the tears from Hinata's eyes completely retreat, replacing his expression with a flushed one.

Suga could only sigh at the two. He wonders…oh he just wonders if the two had any idea how they have been acting. It might be only a matter of time before they lose restraint.

"What's the matter Suga?"

"Nothing. Just thinking about restraint…and some stuff."

A.N.: There you have it! How long must Suga's 'suffering' last? *shakes head* And this is the con of being sensitive to your surroundings-in other words, being a Mama. Hang in there, Mama Suga!
