Side note for anyone who hasn't read Tokyo Ghoul:

The CCG is a ghoul countermeasures unit (Commission of Counter Ghoul), so think of them as a king of police who capture ghouls.


The rest of practice was normal along with Hinata actually making a good receive but it ended up going right into the back of Kageyama's head. He had to be held back by Tanaka until Hinata noticed his eyes starting to turn black and the red spreading across his irises. Then he pulled Kageyama outside and wouldn't let him back into the gym until he had cooled off and his eyes returned to normal.

After practice Kageyama and Hinata lingered in the changing room taking their time to freshen up and change their clothes. Suga was also deliberately taking his time when Daichi walked in and settled leaning on the lockers next to them as they talked. Once Nishinoya and Tanaka left leaving the four remaining in the room then Suga turned around to the other two.

"Daichi's going to be joining us."

Daichi also turned to look at the first two years and brought his hand up so it was resting against the back of his head as he leaned against the lockers.

"Hope you don't mind." Daichi spoke as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Not at all." Hinata nodded his head as he finished getting ready then zipped up his sports jacket.

"Shall we head out then?" Suga asked and grabbed his bag before walking to the door. The other three all followed, grabbing their bags and walking out of the room. Daichi came last after he turned off the lights and locked the door.

The café Suga lead them to wasn't that far from the school but it was one that Hinata and Kageyama never even heard of in their small town. The place itself was set back off one of the side roads that branched from the main road. Kageyama observed the front of it with the faded paint job and a sign that looked like it may not have been replaced or repaired in the past fifteen years. Inside it was large and spacious though. The waiter greeted Suga by name then let them choose a seat. The group ended up sitting at a table near the back that was partially hidden by one of the large potted, probably fake, plants. Kageyama and Hinata sat on one side together across from Suga and Daichi. Once the waiter had taken their orders, three normal coffees plus a latte, and walked away then Daichi tapped Suga's arm with his own.

"Well, say what you wanted to say. I don't want to keep them out all night."

Suga nodded at Daichi's words then looked down at the table as he tried to get the sentences to come together before he talked. Kageyama was filled with unease and nervousness as he watched the third years.

'Are they going to scold us for missing so much now that the rest of the team isn't here? Are they going to kick us off? No, they wouldn't do that, but it must be something for them to call us here and be awkward about it.' Kageyama's head was racing with thoughts and he started to fidget.

He felt a weight settle on top of his thigh and he looked down to see Hinata's hand resting there. His gaze shot up to the others face and Hinata just gave him a reassuring smile as if the third years sitting across from them wasn't something to be nervous about at all. The waiter returned holding a silver tray with their drinks on it a Hinata pulled his hand back from Kageyama's thigh. As soon as the drinks were put down the waiter left almost like he was in a hurry to get out of sight from their table. Suga looked down at the steaming coffee then looked up.

"Hinata?"

"Ye-yeah!" Hinata jumped a little and replied too loudly. He didn't expect to be called on like that and singled out.

"Don't you think Kageyama smells…different today?" Suga took a sip of his coffee after talking. Kageyama noticed that he hadn't put any sugar or cream into it. On the other hand, Hinata's face had lost some of its colour at the question he was asked.

"Um, no, he smells the same as any other day."

Suga leaned forwards towards Hinata; Daichi just looked past two first years as if he didn't even notice the conversation was happening.

"Hinata…I know you're a ghoul."

Hinata's already pale face lost the rest of its colour. He had been trying to hide this fact at practice and school the best he could.

"I…uh…I mean, I'm not-" Hinata was trying to find something he could say so that the other would drop the whole ghoul thing.

"I had suspicions when you first joined the team but after playing with you for a while then I finally knew that you really were a ghoul." Suga was talking more quietly now. There was only two other customers in the café that were sitting far away but if anyone heard their conversation now then the CCG would be called immediately.

Kageyama watched the scene play out, almost like everyone else at the table had forgotten he was there. Hinata was pale and quiet, for once, and Suga had that same smile on his face. Daichi continued to drink his latte. Suga continued to talk.

"It's okay though. I'm also a ghoul."

Hinata stared at Suga without blinking as he let this new information sink it. Kageyama nearly spit out his coffee when he heard Suga confess about what he actually was. Then he looked towards Daichi who hadn't reacted at all.

"So, is captain also a ghoul?" All eyes look towards Kageyama like they had finally remembered he was there. Suga shook his head a little then let his arm brush against Daichi's.

"No, he's human but due to an incident he found out about me and eventually he accepted it." Suga smiled over to Daichi who returned the warm smile with one of his own.

"It was a shock but it's him and I knew he wouldn't hurt me." Daichi spoke while keeping his eyes locked onto Suga.

Kageyama looked over to Hinata who was looking at his coffee like it held the answers to the universe or how he could become taller. Suga was the first to break his stare with Daichi and look back towards the two first years; he coughed to get their attention.

"So, anyway, I knew about Hinata being a ghoul but today, Kageyama, you seem…different."

Kageyama looked away and avoided eye contact with his senpai. Was he supposed to just blurt out that he had suddenly been turned into a ghoul? What was he supposed to say in this situation?

"I did it." Hinata spoke while still staring at his coffee.

"Huh?" Kageyama and Suga instantaneously both said to Hinata's bold words.

"I accidentally turned Kageyama into a ghoul. I didn't mean too! I'm sorry." Hinata looked up and met the gaze of everyone sitting at their table. He held Kageyama's the longest before looking back down.

"Kageyama, is that true?" Daichi had leaned forwards, now totally into the conversation.

"Yeah, it happened about five days ago."

"So that's why you guys were missing." Daichi leaned back again and took a sip of his latte.

Suga leaned back on his chair and stared at some spot on the table. His eyes had a glassy look to them as if he was concentrating extremely hard.

"Then, the rumours about being able to turn people into ghouls are true."

"Yep." Hinata took a sip of his coffee.

The air around the four boys was suddenly heavy and intense. Kageyama was about to excuse himself to the bathroom for air that didn't sit on him like a brick when Suga leaned forwards again while smiling.

"How're you liking the ghoul life, Kageyama?" All at once, with Suga's one question, the tension in the air broke. Hinata even laughed a little.

"I-I don't know." Kageyama looked towards Hinata as he spoke. So far he didn't do anything 'ghoul like'. The only thing that he had accepted was eating the stuff Hinata gave him every morning and at dinner.

"Well, what kind of Kagune do you have? Is it the same as Hinata's?" Suga looked over the other.

"He doesn't know. We haven't tried it out yet." Hinata spoke up. Kageyama noticed that at some point his coffee cup had become empty.

"Hey Daichi, what time is it." Suga leaned up against his friend who pulled out a phone.

"7:23" He put it back into his pocket right after.

Suga looked towards the front of the café and then back towards the others.

"We have time. This café is in my territory and I know a place where we can go and not be disturbed." After talking, Suga waved to the waiter for the bill.

Kageyama was taken aback. Suga had a territory. Did that mean Hinata had a territory as well? He looked towards the other who was smiling towards Suga.

"We'll come." Hinata said a bit too loudly because one of the other customers looked towards their group.

"Good. Daichi and I will go pay, wait for us outside." Suga got up and Daichi followed him over to the cash register area.

The remaining two stood up, put their coats back on then walked out of the small café. They could see the third years inside paying. Hinata brushed up against Kageyama's side when the wind blew and threw his hair around his head.

"Hey, Kageyama, do you think they're dating?" Hinata was looking through the window to where the other two were paying. Kageyama also looked into the café and saw Daichi lean over to kiss Suga just before putting his wallet back into his pocket.

"Yeah, I think they are." Kageyama looked away from the window, glad that the wind was biting his cheeks because that scene caused him to blush.

"You know, I always thought they were but I never wanted to just ask." Hinata looked away from the window as well and blew into his hands.

The bells chimed from inside of the café when Daichi and Suga walked out into the street. Both of them pulling the collars of their jackets up to hide from the wind when they walked out. Suga looked around the side street they were on.

"Follow me, the place is close by." Suga lead with Daichi walking calmly at his side and the two first years following.


AN:

It's a bit of a late release, so I'm sorry about that. Although, here's my advice for the week, don't take a class where you have to write a full screenplay.

Thank you everyone who has liked this story and commented! Next chapter is the reveal of Kageyama's kagune type and his mask may also come up.

Anyway, thanks for reading and hope you all like it!
