Spoiler alert (I should have done this earlier) But this part has spoilers for Tokyo Ghoul root a!

Kageyama was not crying, Hinata definitely was but he wasn't. Tokyo Ghoul wasn't even sad. That's what he kept telling himself as he wiped at his burning eyes.

Kageyama looked over at Hinata who was bawling his eyes out. Hiccupping loudly Hinata continued to sob like a child. Gulping down the ball of tears, Kageyama got up and exited his room. He sauntered out to the kitchen where his mum sat, typing away at her laptop. One glance towards her son and she frowned, "what's wrong Tobio?" she asked.

Kageyama stiffly shook his head. But the tears were overflowing now and a loud sob left his throat alerting his mother, who quickly rushed towards her son in worry. "Did something happen?" she queried; the woman pulled her now sobbing son into a tight hug and rubbed his back. Something she hadn't done for a few years.

"Hide" was the only thing Kageyama croaked out, he fisted at his mother's shirt and sobbed away like a giant child.

"Kageyama where did you go?" Hinata waddled out with blotched eyes, his eyes landed on the setter and his Kageyama's mother. Hearing Kageyama's own sobs, (instead of feeling victorious like he should) Hinata started to cry all over again.

Hinata ran towards Kageyama's mother and wrapped his slender arms around her. The woman jumped at Hinata's sudden hug but moved to hug both of the sobbing boys. Wondering what on earth made them cry so much.

"What's the matter with you two?"

"HIDE!" Hinata cried out loudly, sobbing even harder.

Kageyama and Hinata sat across from the dinner table. After calming the boys down, Kageyama's mother insisted Hinata stay over once again. After telling Kageyama they'd just have to walk to school together.

She served up their dinner and joined them. With a look of concern on her face, she spoke.

"So who's this Hide?" she asked, watching as both boys stiffened at the name. Hinata quickly busied himself with the food and Kageyama looked embarrassed. His face turned a light shade of red and she could see the cogs turning in his head to find a suitable answer for her.

"An anime character" Kageyama reluctantly answered (knowing he could never play this of as nothing), his mum stared at him in bewilderment. Why did a fictional character make the both of them cry?

As if reading her thoughts Hinata, spoke up catching the woman's attention "he died in the anime."

"Right… so you're telling me you two cried for a solid half an hour because a fake person died?"

"….No" Kageyama ground out, he averted eye contact and chewed on his lip nervously.

Looking between the boys, she let out small laugh before it turned into a round of giggles.

"It's not funny mum!" Kageyama snapped, glaring at his laughing mother. Hinata pouted at the reaction and crossed his arms defensively.

"N-n-no it's not fun-ny! I-i-t's so cute" she choked out through her laughter.

"Mum!"

"Y'know you owe me" Hinata spoke up later on that night, the two boys sat beside each other on Kageyama's bed. After escaping his mother's teasing and laughing the two boys had chosen to take shelter in his room.

Kageyama, turned his head to stare at Hinata in confusion what did he owe him now? Did he owe him more tears and embarrassment?

As if sensing Kageyama's confusion, Hinata let out a small huff. He inched closer to the setter hoping he didn't notice (if he did, he didn't say anything) and spoke.

"Remember, if you didn't cry over Tokyo Ghoul I'd have to do anything you asked."

Nodding, Kageyama knew where it was going; Hinata wanted a prize for making him cry. Apparently his gross sobbing wasn't enough payment.

"Tell me what you want as payment dumbass" Kageyama grumbled out, Hinata froze at this and fiddled nervously.

He already knew what he wanted but Kageyama would find it weird. However the thought of being able to get a proper kiss out of Kageyama was tempting. Hinata didn't know why he wanted one. But after spending so much time with Kageyama and being accepted for his weird hobbies. Hinata had been feeling weird around him. And that fan fiction kiss had set something off in him, Hinata wanted more from Kageyama he wanted to do more with the setter but the problem still remained.
Kageyama wasn't interested in him in that way.

"I want a…" Hinata began nervously, his heart sped up and the intensity of Kageyama gaze made him feel even smaller. Hinata clenched his hands nervously and tried to continue "I want a k-k." he paused, he couldn't do this. It was too hard to request.

"Spit it out already" Kageyama growled, glaring at Hinata who quickly looked away.
Squeezing his eyes shut, Hinata spoke fast.

"I want Kaneki Ken's happiness….shit" the spiker groaned. He mentally cursed himself and his stupid mouth and slipped off Kageyama's bed. To lie on the futon that was already rolled out for him. Kageyama watched in worry as Hinata groaned into the futon, the tips of his ears were red and he sounded like a dying whale.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Kageyama barked out. Maybe Hinata was finally going insane.

"Life!" Hinata wailed into the futon.

"...Good night anyway" Hinata chirped moments later. Surprising Kageyama, he watched the spiker crawl underneath his blanket and fill the room with nothing but his deep breathing. Rolling his eyes at the other, Kageyama glanced at the time on his phone and sighed. He should probably get some sleep as well.

It was early morning when the two walked together to school the sun shone down on them and they walked in a tired silence. Kageyama's mother had sent both off with an amused smirk and some teasing words. Kageyama scowled at the memory, knowing very well his mother was never going to let him live it down.

Stupid Hinata he sourly thought.
