"Hey Kageyama, I bet there were some wicked parties over there right! Tell us about them!" Nishinoya exclaimed excitedly. Tanaka nodded along sagely in agreement.
"Kageyama-kun, you must tell us… all about the hot English girls you boned."
Kageyama choked on his spit and rammed his fist into his chest as he coughed. Tanaka and Nishinoya were laughing at him. But the things he got up to at those parties… Well, he wasn't about to reveal anything any time soon when he was still accountable for what he'd been roped into whilst 'slightly' drunk.
He smiled secretively and reminisced on the last party he'd gone to…
"Hey Kageyama! We've got to go to Laurence's party tonight. It's your last night here!"
Kageyama sighed and shut his red hard cover on his finger to mark the page as his roommate Vin yelled at him from the kitchen. He'd wanted to stay in tonight. He wanted to stay right where he was, curled up on the couch, in front of the warm heater with his book he wasn't going to read and the play station controller in hand.
"No. I'm not going." He knew he was going, Vin would whine and whine until he got his way for one last night out with his buddy. It never hurt to try though.
"Aw~ Come on Kageyama, please." Yeah Vin was pulling that routine again. He knew Kageyama would agree just to shut him up. He hadn't pulled out all the stops yet though.
"No." Kageyama replied, watching Vin walk into the room dressed in grey sweats and no shirt. If he didn't have a six-pack and no hair Kageyama would a have forced him to put a shirt on.
"Tobio please, I'll buy anything you want tomorrow before you leave." Bribery was good, Kageyama could send him broke the second he walked into a sport shop.
".. No." It was tempting, it really was. He knew what was coming next.
"You're just too scared to try and out drink me." There it was, a challenge, looks like he was going to the party.
"Huh, please, I could out drink you when I'm blind drunk. I'll prove it to you tonight." Vin smiled. He'd never admit that Kageyama could actually out drink him blind drunk, but at least he got his friend to go with him, even if he was going to be beaten at a drinking game. The guy had a tolerance for alcohol like you wouldn't believe. It was when you mixed his drinks that things got real crazy, real quickly.
"Alright then go get dressed, we leave in ten minutes." Kageyama was gone before he'd even finished the sentence, slamming his door shut and tearing apart his room for something suitable to wear. Vin swore that if he saw even a hint of orange on Tobio's clothes he was going to dress the kid himself.
Tobio walked out exactly ten minutes later. He was wearing a light grey singlet with VON printed across his chest in little dark grey dots, black three quarter pants and mid black and dark grey vans.
Vin looked him up and down. There was no orange on him except for the thin, plat rope around his wrist. He'd let him get away with that, Tobio always found a way to incorporate black and orange into his out fits. Vin had never asked why, Tobio was a weird kid. It was kind of cute though. Whenever someone asked him about it he'd smile and mention crows. Whenever someone picked on him for it he looked at them like they were the most disgusting, insignificant, annoying little bug on earth, then he'd make their life hell for a week with pranks he 'had no idea about'. Nobody picked on him about it anymore.
Vin had thrown on a dark blue shirt with his trackies and a pair of runners. He wasn't a fasionista like Tobio. He could careless how he looked as long as he had fun. He guessed it came with the territory of being a model. You had to be presentable to keep up your image, though, he was absolutely sure Tobio could rock a paper bag if he wanted to.
"We going?" Tobio asked, Vin snapped back to attention and nodded. He swore he was straight. Tobio was just really hot. Vin had heard even the math majors gossiping about him. Almost every kid Tobio had ever met here wanted to bone him. Homosexual, Transgender or straight everyone wanted a piece of him.
Even that creepy teacher who used to stalk him.
"Yep, let's go." Vin turned and threw the door open, letting it bounce off the wall. He had a huge grin on his face as he tugged Kageyama along with him.
"You two are going to Laurence's party right?"
They stopped in their tracks and turned as their dorm door was caught before it closed by Daniel.
"Honestly, you don't have your wallets or your keys. It's like babysitting children." Daniel reached into their dorm grabbed their keys from the hooks on the walls and their wallets from the bowl on the table and let the door close. They each took their belongings. Both feeling a little stupid like they did every time Daniel had to take care of them like he was their mother.
"Come on let's go." He said and pushed past them.
"Hai Kaa-san." Kageyama replied. They didn't know what he was saying when he replied like that to Daniel, he always said it was a term of great respect and smiled.
They didn't believe him…
They'd been at the party for three hours; they'd migrated from the lounge room down to the basement rather quickly. Kageyama was off his face and shirtless. Vin was slightly less drunk after having given up trying to beat the kid, Daniel was off with some of their other friends and everyone was drinking like it was end of the world.
They were all crazy. It had gone around that Tobio was leaving them so this was their last huge party dedicated to him; everyone was all over the kid. Shit was getting broken left and right. People were passing out on the floor and practically fucking in front of everyone. Some kid had taken a running start and threw his body onto the pool table and broke it in half… So the party was going great.
Kageyama crawled out of his seat and stumbled to the other side of the room, a brown haired guy grabbed his arm when he tripped and pulled him up. Kageyama pushed him against the wall and kissed him. They started to grind against each other ignoring the chant that flew up between everyone in the basement with them. "Fuck da police." Tobio reached down into the guys back pocket and lifted his wallet out as he pushed the guy back into the wall with a grind. "Fuck da police." The guy had been quick to get hard and he was moaning Kageyama's ear as he shoved the guy's wallet into his pocket.
"Fuck da police, fuck da police, fuck da police!"
The brown haired guy joined in with the crowd but didn't stop rutting against him. Kageyama knelt down, unzipped the guys' pants, pulled them down and tied his shoelaces together before facing his small partner.
Something was smashed into the ground behind and him and he jumped.
"SCATTER!"
He was gone. He ran into the laundry room, jumped up on the washing machine and climbed out a window into the back yard. He looked up at a large chain link fence and thought 'I've never climbed a fence that high before' and then he woke up at home… (1)
He groaned and rolled over, hitting the floor with a thump. He lay there for a few minutes. Naked except for his boxers and shoes, wondering where his clothes were. A knock at his door had him curling into a ball on his floor and moaning as it creaked open.
Someone grabbed him under his arms and hauled him onto his bed. He saw Daniel in front of him holding out a cup of familiar brown sludgy stuff.
"Come on, time to get up." He said, swinging the cup in front of Kageyama's face. Kageyama batted him away but took the drink gratefully and struggled to sit up.
He pinched his nostrils closed and downed the drink as quick as possible, gagging on the horrendous taste of what was Daniel's miracle cure for horrible hangovers.
"You've got a plane to catch Toby, time to get up."
Kageyama sighed, covered his eyes, handed Daniel the empty cup and flopped onto his bed. "Five more hours." He whined.
"You've been passed out for over eight hours, it's time to get up and I can't reschedule your flight again. You'll barely make it in time for whatever you're going to do in Japan anyway. You'll miss it entirely if you have to buy another ticket."
Kageyama was up and out of bed in an instant grabbing whatever clothing was closest to him. An orange shirt, black skinny jeans that bunched at his ankles, a black vest and his mahalo's.
"There's a taxi waiting out front and your bags by the door!" He heard Daniel yell to him as he bolted for the exit.
"Thanks Daniel, bye Vin." He yelled, running past Vin who grunted at him from the couch as he sped past. He grabbed his bag, Daniel's favourite sunnies from the table next to the door, they had extremely dark tinted lenses, switched the anonymous wallet he'd grabbed from his bedside table for his own one, flung the door open and ran for the taxi beeping out the front.
He was finally going home.
"Good times." He said not saying anything more on the matter. He was bothered that he couldn't find his pants or shirt but they'd make their way back to him eventually. They always did.
