HINATA

My first day at work was great. They're going to be hiring employees seasonal in September so I will get to help with the hiring processing. In the main time I get to help with other duties like sending out new hire enrollment packets. I'm glad I went to school for this. I get to meet all different kinds of people, learn all kinds of interesting stuff regarding insurance and other random things. I'm just a people person in general. I head to the parking garage and Kageyama is waiting inside his car for me. I tap the glass before opening the door sitting down.

"Hey, sorry I'm late," I apologize. "Boss lady wanted to go over a bit more what she will be needing for me."

"It's fine," says Kageyama starting up the car. He backs out of his parking space exiting the garage. "Anything you want for dinner?"

"Depends," I say trying not to smile. Kageyama laughs.

"What?" he asks.

"I want you to cook steak," I reply.

"Seriously," he replies. "It's not even a special occasion."

"I started this awesome job today!" I exclaimed. Kageyama cooks one hell of a steak. It's pretty impressive. Kageyama and I BBQ last year in the park with the old team members and players. Kageyama along with Bokuto and Daichi manned the grilled. It was the coolest thing ever and a surprise to know Kageyama could grill.

"Fine," he replies. "I will have to do it differently since we don't have a grill."

"I'm curious to see what you will do," I admit.

"Um hm," he hums. "I have sides at the house I will need to run to the store to get the steak. Want to come in with me and pick out the meat."

"Well yeah," I reply to him like he asked me a stupid question. I tell Kageyama a little bit more about my day until we pull up to the store. I reach for the handle when Kageyama grabs my hand. He leans forward whispering my ear.

"Can I get a hug?" he asked. I look at him because I wanted to touch him all afternoon. The scenting was not enough for me at lunch. I will never tell him that though.

"Sure," I reply opening the car door. "Come here big kid."

"Oh save it," says Kageyama clicking on the alarm locking the doors. He leans down hugging me tightly. I can't help myself as I bury my face into his chest feeling my heart flutter. I think I'm really starting to fall in love with him. I mean how can I not when he treats me so well. I grip his shirt trying not to let my lust rise up, Kageyama on the other hand is failing in that department. He buries his nose into my hair releasing a low growl. "God, I can't even hug you without getting turned on." I chuckle because he is not alone. I pull away knowing neither of us want to.

"Let's get this food so we can head home," I tell him. We head into the store heading to the back where we know the meat section is.

"Do you know what kind of cut you want?" he asked looking into the glass.

"Ribeye," I replied. "I want my steak juicy!" Kageyama laughs as he walks down to where the ribeye is. It sucks that they are not on sale but Kageyama doesn't seem to be worried about that. We pick out the pieces we want heading up to the checkout. We are in line when I spot Akaashi. He is not showing and looks perfectly normal. "Kageyama I will be right back." I quickly walk off not waiting for an answer. "Akaashi!" He looks up from the magazine he was looking at.

"Hey Hinata," he says in his usual tone.

"Um…how are things?" I ask feeling weird now.

"I know you know about the baby," he says. "Bokuto is batshit happy about it and telling everyone."

"Did you not wanting him to tell anyone?" I asked.

"Not everyone," sneers Akaashi. "He telling complete strangers for god sake."

"I didn't know he was that happy about it," I replied.

"Tell me about it," he says rolling his eyes. "Easy for him to be happy, he doesn't have to share his body, get fat, feel tired all the time, do breast feeding every two freaking hours!" I make this face of surprise because he sounds so angry. "I have done my research. Where the hell is he at! I'm ready to get out of here."

"Understandable," I reply slowly.

"He went to grab paper plates," explains Akaashi folding his arms. He glares down at me raising one eyebrow. "Hmm so you're bonded now huh." I chuckle nervously.

"Yeah," I reply slightly embarrassed.

"You smell the same but different," states Akaashi. "Smells familiar but I can't place it."

"It's Kageyama," I tell him.

"Oh, how did that happen?" he asked. "I thought you never wanted to be bonded."

"It was an accident…" I mutter looking at the ground.

"You should have purchased a collar like I did," says Akaashi. "People make fun of me for having it but nobody is biting my ass. I mean how do you accidently bond?"

"I didn't know it was an actual bond happening!' I exclaim blushing before covering my face for a moment. "I never mated before." Akaashi eyes go wide as Bokuto walks up with the cart.

"Sorry it took me a while." he says approaching. "I decided to grab some paper towels and toilet paper. Hinata, buddy, how is it going? You look all dressed up today."

"I started a new job," I reply proudly.

"Cool," he says as Kageyama walks up. "Kageyama, how you doing?"

"I'm alright," he replies. "Super hungry at the moment."

"I hear ya" Bokuto laughs. His eyes get this small flash of acknowledgment when he catches our scent so strongly intertwined. "So uh you guys….."

"Yes, Hinata is my mate," says Kageyama glaring at him.

"He meant nothing by it," says Akaashi. "He is just being Bokuto. We won't keep you guys, I'm ready to check out anyway."

"That's alright," says Bokuto. "If we don't catch up with you guys before vacation, we will talk then."

"Sounds good," I smile. "Have a good night." Kageyama and I walk away from them as they get in line.

"Have a good conversation?" asked Kageyama.

"Yeah it was nice to see them," I reply.

"You were so embarrassed," says Kageyama. "You almost had me blushing while I checked out."

"Oh that," I reply. "It was nothing, no big deal." Kageyama sighs as we approach the car.

"I know you were talking about us" he says.

"It's not what you think!" I exclaim looking at him.

"Doesn't matter….." he replies. "I don't want to talk about it." He unlocks the car door putting the bag in the backseat before getting behind the wheel. I can feel he is upset. I don't know what is worst. Me telling the truth that we bonded on accident or that it was my first time mating. Kageyama is usually always willing to talk to me so I know he is upset for sure. We get to his apartment heading inside. Iwaizumi is on the coach watching TV.

"Back a little late aren't you," he states.

"We picked up some steaks," explained Kageyama holding up the bag as proof.

"I'm so jealous," says Iwaizumi. "Hinata think you can convince Oikawa to cook for me?"

"Are you kidding me," laughs Kageyama. "I do more cooking than Hinata. You got jokes Iwaizumi." He heads into the kitchen sitting the bag on the counter. Iwaizumi laughed.

"Maybe they can learn together then," he offers.

"That is a great idea," grins Kageyama.

"I'm going to tell Oikawa your talking shit about us," I say walking to Kageyama's room.

"Whatever," says Iwaizumi. "He knows how I feel."

"Where is he?" I asked stopping short of opening the door.

"He works late today," explains Iwaizumi. "Now have to sit here starving alone waiting for him to get off."

"You will live," says Kageyama pushing me into his room. I can feel he is nervous, it feels like a chill running through my body.
