This week took forever to be over with. I have literally been counting down to Saturday. I have no doubt in my mind that Kageyama and I are going to reconnect. After what happened on the phone we didn't talk again but we did text. He flirted here and there but nothing too serious. I'm running around making sure everything is clean and perfect. I even changed out my bedding.
Kageyama said he was stopping pass the grocery store on his way here to pick up the items he wants to cook. I hear my cell going, I answer it without looking at it.
"Hello," I sing into phone.
"Well aren't you in a good mood," said Sugawara.
"Oh hey," I reply.
"Oh hey, what kind of response is that?"
"It's okay I thought you were someone else,"
"Someone else? Are you finally dating someone?"
"Not dating…."
"Hinata," Suga droned. "We talked about this. You're doing so well."
"I'm not dating, I swear!"
"Are you hooking up?"
"I don't know," I reply. "Anything could happen," With Sugawara having so many relationship problems I didn't want to tell him that Kageyama and I may have patched things up. "I promise I will fill you in later okay."
"Sure," he replied. I hear a knock on my door.
"Suga, I have to go. I will talk to you soon." He said his goodbye and I headed to open the door. I see Kageyama there with two small plastic bags in his hand. He smiled when he saw me causing me to smile instantly. I step aside so he can enter. I take the bags sitting them on the counter in the kitchen to the left of my doorway. Kageyama is looking around.
"This is my place, not much to see but it's home," He nods looking at the picture frames I have on a sofa table against the wall once you come in to the right. I have a picture of my family, my volleyball team, then one of me and Natsu. Kageyama picks up the frame and studies it closer.
"Natsu is getting big," he noted.
"Yup, she asks about you all the time,"
"What do you tell her?"
"That you're super busy although it's getting harder to lie to her,"
"Hopefully you won't have to anymore," I look at Kageyama in awe before clearing my head quickly.
"Um, this is my living room. Sorry I only have a loveseat. I don't really have company like that."
"What, no parties?" chuckled Kageyama standing in my living room looking so large in it. I don't have one of the biggest units because there is no need to, it's just me.
"No way," I replied. "Last thing I need is my landlord complaining."
"You didn't tell me you lived so close to Karasuno," he noted.
"Well yeah," I replied leading him to the kitchen. "I mean the school I work for is around the corner. I have a 10-minute drive and I love it. What do you need to um get started?"
"I will need a frying pan," he replied. "A small pot to start, not sure if I will need anything else as of yet."
"Did you want the TV on or something?" I asked.
"Nope, I can talk to you while I prepare."
"Sure thing. We have been talking all week I don't know what else there is to really talk about."
"I actually wanted to know what your internship was like,"
"Oh god it was awful!" I cried. "I got to actually work with first graders and they are little terrors. I mean they hardly sit still or listen. They are nothing like how Natsu was." Kageyama is laughing as he turns on the stove.
"Kids in general are hard to deal with Hinata,"
"I know but they were seriously monsters. It's why I changed my mind and decided to teach 4th graders. I find that I enjoy that much better. I don't need know about your internship, I heard it was hell." I'm not just talking about the stand off incident.
"Oh did you now?"
"Yeah Yamaguchi made it a note to update me on how you were doing."
"Funny because he didn't seem to want to tell me anything about you,"
"You asked about me?" He blushes.
"Sometimes I did. Yamaguchi is a good friend to you because he wouldn't tell me shit." I start laughing picturing Kageyama all pissed off because he couldn't find out what he wanted to know.
"I will be sure to tell him that," I stare at Kageyama as he starts cooking thinking about how we ended up the other night. I'm trying to stay focused but he looks pretty damn cute in my kitchen.
"How good are you at cooking now?" asked Kageyama.
"Much better but I still prefer to eat out now and then,"
"Naturally," he replied. Once Kageyama had the fish he prepared in the oven he walked over to my small table I was sitting at. "Want to do what we use to, is there a movie you want to watch? I also brought a bottle of wine we can indulge in while watching a movie. We can't drink it all because it goes well with the salmon."
"Awesome!" I exclaim. "I tried drinking wine before but I could never find anything that tasted smooth." I stand up as we have a short walk to my living room. I turn on the TV and sit down crosses my legs. Kageyama sits beside me and he now looks nervous. "Kageyama can I talk about the other night on the phone?"
"What about it?" he asked not looking at me. He stared off towards the TV taking the remote from in between us. I frown because he is reminding of how stubborn he can be.
"Can you look at me please?" Kageyama looks at me and he looks like he can barely hold himself together.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry but I really enjoyed it. I didn't want it to be weird between us.
"It's not weird between us. It's weird that you're bringing it up."
"Was I suppose to act like that didn't happen?" I asked looking at him in disbelief. There is no way I could act like it didn't happen. "I just didn't want you to think I don't care about you." Kageyama places his face in his hands.
"I can't do this right now," he said standing up. "I'm going to go check on the rice and fix us a glass of wine." He walks to my kitchen and I feel gloomy a little bit. I really just wanted to let him know it was okay. Maybe is came out wrong, oh I don't know. Kageyama checks his fish in the oven and comes back to sit back down. I'm flipping through the channels to find something to watch. I find a movie I'm sure Kageyama is interested in watching.
We sit back watching the movie in silence as we sip on the wine. Kageyama has great taste as this one is yummy. I can't wait to try it with dinner when it's ready. I can't help but think my high hopes of us possibly making up has gone down a little. I keep stealing glances at him but he focused on the movie and the dinner he preparing. I wish I could text Kenma but no way could I sneak out a text if I wanted to.
"Where are you plates?" asked Kageyama standing in the kitchen. He pulled the fish out of the oven and sat it on the stove top. It smells really good. I grabbed some plates and sat them on the counter.
"Did you need me to help with anything?" I asked feeling useless in my own kitchen.
"I think I'm good to go," he replied. "Thanks for the offer. You can go ahead and sit down at the table." I sit down at the table as instructed. I keep looking over trying to see what he is doing. He finally brings my plate over and it is cauliflower, salmon with some kind mustard sauce and rice. The placement of the food on the plate looks like something you would get from a fancy restaurant. Kageyama sit across from me smiling. "You look impressed."
"Just a little," I replied. "Can we eat now!" He laughs.
"Sure," Kageyama refills our wine glasses before sitting at the table. We start eating and I have to fight a moan the salmon is so good.
"Slow down," chuckled Kageyama. "You need to learn to take an easy when it comes to eating."
"Food taste better when it's hot!" I replied. I continued to eat and was super glad to see he cooked another set of salmon. I decided to save it for later although I really want seconds. I sit back down on the loveseat nice, full, and a slight buzz. Kageyama sits beside me. "Yamaguchi would be proud."
"I bet he would be," relied Kageyama. "Let's finish the movie, it's getting late."
"You got plans tomorrow?" I asked curious as to why he wanted to leave. It is getting late but not that late.
"Yes," he replied. I guess I have to let him go then. We get comfortable on the love seat and watch the movie. When it's over we decide on one more. I am struggling to keep my eyes open but it is getting harder by the minute. All those thoughts of how I wanted tonight to go left my mind. I leaned on Kageyama shoulder drifting off to sleep.
