Pairing: Kageyama & Hinata
Summary: Kageyama is great at keeping secrets (he likes to think so anyways) so he thinks that entering into a secret relationship with Hinata should be one of the easiest things he's done in awhile. But Yachi is starting to show interest in Hinata, a lot of interest actually. It's nothing that a fair warning shouldn't take care of, so he tells Hinata to stay away from the girl, but it turns out she makes that harder than the hot-tempered setter would have imagined.

"Oi," Kageyama called as Hinata started to walk home with Suga and Daichi leaving his hush hush boyfriend.
"Ah, sorry Kageyama," Hinata hugged Suga and Daichi quickly before retreating backward in order to join him on his journey.
"No it's fine," Kageyama said pushing down his slight scowl.
"Are you sure?" Hinata squinted at him, "because you seem pretty upset."
"It's not because you were going to walk home with Daichi and Suga, I don't care about that. I just wanted to talk with you today so I couldn't just leave you alone sadly."
"It's not a sadly that you want to spend time with me Kageyama," Hinata looked and noticed that no one else was around and took his boyfriend's hand. Kageyama smiled, Hinata always seemed to have an intuition for when he needed physical contact. It actually made what he was going to say next come a lot easier.
"Hinata, Yachi has feelings for you," Kageyama didn't look to meet Hinata's eyes simply stared ahead in order to make slow progress home.
"What?" Hinata sounded surprised. He really was an idiot, didn't notice anything, even when what he was ignoring could be potentially problematic in their relationship. "Are you sure? I don't see why she would, maybe someone like Daichi or Noya but me?"
"Yes dumbass I'm sure! Why would I bring it up if I wasn't?" Kageyama snapped but when he looked at Hinata the boy's eyes were wide and insecure. "Sorry," Kageyama sighed. "I didn't mean to yell," he scratched the back of his head. "I'm not mad at you I'm just, I'm annoyed she would like you."
"Why?" Hinata asked.
"Because I like you, and you're mine, and I don't plan on sharing you with a blonde who has no idea what to do with a volleyball," Kageyama knew he was being irrational but the closer they got to parting the more he felt like he had to let Hinata know how he felt. He didn't want them to part angry with each other but he wanted Yachi getting in the way even less.
"I'm not saying that I want to be with her I just don't understand why she would like me," he shrugged.
"Because you're cute and sweet," he kissed Hinata's cheek.
"This is your street," Hinata smiled and got on his tiptoes to plant a quick kiss to Kageyama's lips. "I'll see you tomorrow," he waved smiling.
"Ya," Kageyama said as he watched Hinata jump onto his bike and head the rest of the way to his house alone.
K&H
"Hinata," Yachi called as he was headed up to the club room to change.
"Oh um ya?" he turned around to face her.
"Do you have a moment? Uh it's um club related. Just some paperwork, stuff." She smiled and looked up at him blushing and toeing the ground.
"Oh sure then, is everything ok?" Hinata's mind was spinning in order to try and remember what he had forgotten that could have been an issue. They were out in front of the gym while everyone else was getting ready.
"Ya um I," she looked around and took a deep breath before looking at him. "Sorry, I lied, it's not about the club. I just I, I like you," she was blushing. Hinata's eyes went wide, Kageyama had been right.
"Oh, um," his cheeks were bright red. How to turn someone down how to turn someone down. In truth he'd never thought he'd have to deal with it.
"I know it's sudden," she looked at him shyly and stepped towards him. "But I thought maybe after practice we could go get dumplings or something."
She leaned up on her tiptoes and his eyes went wide, he stepped back. "Kageyama," he blurted because he didn't know what else to say or how to start.
"Excuse me?" she asked looking confused.
"I um, I-I'm dating...Kageyama," he whispered his own cheek vibrant and burning, he scratched the back of his head. "Sorry Yachi."
"Ah no! I-I'm sorry," she was sputtering and bowing a lot. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to. I didn't know-"
"Hey, hey," Hinata smiled at her. "Don't be sorry, no one knows really. Kageyama wanted to keep it hush hush so, don't tell anyone kay?" he asked looking at her.
"Kay," she whispered remembering why she liked him in the first place. "But ah Hinata," she called as he turned to get ready for practice. He turned back to her. "He uh...he shouldn't want to keep it a secret. If we were dating," she blushed. "I'd want everyone to know."
He smiled at her and headed up to get changed as she sighed and scuffed her shoe, darn.
He came down in his practice clothes and was immediately yelled at by Daichi. "Sorry, sorry," he called and caught up on his laps as quickly as he could. Noya was practicing receives while everyone else was practicing their hits. One side of the net had Suga setting and the other had Kageyama. Both were even so Hinata went to Kageyama's side naturally. He grabbed a ball and waited for his turn. When he got to the front he almost fumbled before he even tossed the ball up. Kageyama had him pinned with the most hateful glare he had ever seen. Still he tossed the ball towards his setter and ran to where he would hit. The toss went high though, and not high like he was used to, like he jumped with all his muscle and his fingers still barely brushed it. He was still trying to swing as he came down, trying to make contact instead of disappointing the team. When he landed his feet weren't lined up right and he fell on his ass instead.
"Hinata are you ok?" Suga asked looking at him concerned.
"Sorry," Kageyama muttered. "Too high."
"It's fine, sorry I"ll practice more, I'll jump higher." Hinata smiled and got himself up. "Thanks for worrying Suga," he went to grab his ball and get back in line. Suga shot Kageyama a look but continued working with his own line until they swapped. An hour and a half later and practice was over.
"Hey where are you going so fast?" Hinata called still pulling his jacket on as he ran to catch up with Kageyama.
"Home," Kageyama said not stopping.
"Well wait up," Hinata said. Kageyama sighed as Hinata ran to join him by his side. "What's wrong with you? You've been weird all practice. Are you mad that I didn't get your first toss? I said I'd work on it," Hinata pouted.
"No I'm not mad about that, I told you that was my bad."
"So tell me what's bugging you then?" Hinata went to reach for Kageyama's hand but it was tucked inside of his jacket, out of Hinata's reach. Suddenly Hinata felt even more self conscious about their...fight.
"I just," Kageyama sighed sounding frustrated. "I told you that Yachi liked you," he rounded on Hinata suddenly.
"What? Ya I know, I was there."
"So why were you alone with her?" he yelled.
"Oh she said she had something to talk with me about club," Hinata looked down. "But she ended up confessing to me that she liked me," he shrugged. Kageyama looked horrified. "It's not a big deal Kageyama. That's what you've been mad about this whole time?"
"Of course it's a big deal! What did you say? What did you do? What did she do? Did she kiss you?"
"No!" Hinata said looking up to meet his eyes. "She tried to but I told her we were dating."
"You what?" he sounded even angrier.
"How are you mad about that too? You know Yachi said that if you really cared about me you would want people to know that we were dating, I thought she was being harsh on you at first, but now I'm starting to think maybe she was right," Hinata moved past Kageyama and quickly slung his leg over his bike and headed towards his own house, leaving Kageyama to think about what was still left between them.
Kageyama sighed in frustration and went to his own house. He was trying to sleep but couldn't stop thinking about the hurt look on Hinata's face when he said that he thought Yachi was right. Ugh did Hinata not get that Kageyama would love to be public? It wasn't that he was ashamed of the orange haired boy, it would just make everything more complicated, people would have questions. He took his phone out and dialed Hinata's number. He got a sleepy mumble and considered hanging up.
"Sorry to wake you," he said.
"It's fine, why are you calling so late?"
"Because I'm sorry."
"Your sorry," Hinata asked.
"Ya, we can tell people we're dating ok?"
"It's late, we should talk tomorrow," Hinata yawned.
"You think I'm just sleep deprived or something. I'm serious."
"I'm sure you are," Hinata was smiling.
"I'll prove it to you," Kageyama tossed his covers off and grabbed his jacket. "I'm switching you to a video call," Kageyama said. He ran out of his house and down a few streets.
"Kageyama it's past midnight, you're going to get mugged, go home," Kageyama could now see that Hinata wasn't wearing a shirt to bed and he sat up seeming more alert and worried.
"No I told you, I'll prove it to you." He ran up a few streets before turning and heading to their captain's home. He knocked on the door a few times, a little out of breath.
"God what?" Daichi opened the door looking at the first year.
"Hinata and I are dating," Kageyama said proudly, even though his cheeks burned red.
"Oh for the love of-" Daichi slammed the door shut. "Congratulations," he yelled as he returned to bed.
Hinata laughed, "Daichi doesn't seem to care much," he smiled.
"No he doesn't," Kageyama lifted the phone up so Hinata could see his face also. "I'll see you tomorrow?" Hinata nodded.
"Daichi who was at the door?" Kageyama heard the sleepy voice of Suga, both boys looked at each other and snickered before Kageyama took off back to his house before he got caught.
