I'll Tell You Later

by ShrinkedPeach

Going into his third year, Kenma is asked to become Nekoma's captain. He's worried he is not prepared enough, even if he wanted to do it. He asks Hinata to help him keep up with training in the bit of time before the new school year. What he finds might be a bit more than skills.

4. Chapter 4

Kenma had no recollection of falling asleep, but absolutely remembers being woken up at five in the morning and opening his eyes to see piercing brown ones. As he went to check his phone, he was immediately grateful to whatever entity out there that it locked while he was asleep. Apparently, he'd been scrolling through old conversations they had.

"Shouyou?" he drawled, still half awake.

"It's time to get up!" Hinata cheerfully announced. Kenma shoved the covers back over his head, refusing to believe this was the life he'd subjected himself to. Hinata came back an hour and a half later with breakfast. The smell woke Kenma up again, and he was in awe. He couldn't even remember the last time he'd eaten breakfast. That was just…sweet. Even if part of him still wanted to murder Hinata for waking him up so early. He was used to going to bed at this time some nights.

By the time they'd finished breakfast and properly caught up, it was almost nine. They got dressed quickly and headed out to the park. On the way, Kenma decided it was time to tell Hinata the truth about why he was there. Did he even remember asking about it? Silly.

"Wow! You're gonna be Nekoma's captain?" Hinata shouted, beaming with pride. Kenma winced a bit.

"Well…not quite. I haven't sai-" Kenma started.

"What do you mean? Of course you're gonna do it!" Hinata whined.

"Shouyou, it's not that simple" Kenma replied.

"But Nekomata said you should, Kuroo said you should, I say you should, and I think Nekoma would say you should!" Hinata pouted. Kenma sighed. Why did everyone but him think this was a good idea?
