Warmth. Hinata could feel warmth all around him, a blanket pulled up to his shoulders and that intoxicating smell attacked his nostrils. The smell of Kageyama that he loved so much, he could just snuggle up to the pillow beneath his head and take it all in. Yet he could also feel like something, or more like someone was missing. Slowly, he opened his eyes and squinted as the sun rays shining through the window straight into his face. Where am I? He asked himself. Hinata lifted his heavy body off the bed that he was laying down on and started scoping around the room trying to figure out what happen the night before. That's when all the events of yesterday started overflowing in his mind. His eyes widened as he remembers all the beautiful moments him and Kageyama had whilst stargazing, an instant smile curved into his face as he hit his head on the pillow once again, closing his honey eyes to fantasise about the night.
The redhead saddled Kageyama pushing him onto the grass beneath them so that he was now laying on top of him, their hands exploring each other's bodies as much as they could whilst their lips brushed against each other giving each other gentle kisses filled with passion and care. Of course I will. Those words echoed in Kageyama's head forcing a smile to appear on his face whilst Hinata's lips kept crashing in with his. He couldn't believe that after everything, maybe this was a start of something special. He was glad he overcame all his fears and managed to finally confess to the boy in front of him. Every part of him believed that there won't be a day where he was going to regret this decision. He just couldn't stop himself from repeating Hinata's words in his head, his gentle voice filled with happiness. That's how he always wanted him to sound, happy. He hoped that he could be the source of that happiness, Kageyama was determined to make sure to fill Hinata's life with endless happiness, to always put his needs first and make sure to keep him safe for as long as he can.
The silence around them was now disturbed as Kageyama took his hand and slid it under Hinata shirt to hold onto his waist, the sudden touch made the middle blocker let out a gentle whimper into Kageyama's mouth as their lips danced together in rhythm. The setter pulled away for a second to look into Hinata's lustful eyes that were staring back at him. He could feel their heart beating in sync as their faces were merely inches away. Hinata took his hand and brushed it through Kageyama's silky hair exposing his forehead and traced his fingers along the side of his face until they reached his jaw. Kageyama could practically feel his heart burst at the touch of Hinata warm, soft fingers, so gentle like he was touching something valuable. He could have just layed there forever, gazing into those eyes which made the universe seem so small, those eyes that managed to make all his problems go away.
"Thank you." Kageyama finally spoke up, his hands gripping onto Hinata's waist forcing him down so now he was laying on top of the setter. He hugged him tightly as the redhead's hair brushed his nose. The weight on top of him was something that he would now cherish forever, the feeling of another person there, so close to him.
"Why are you thanking me?" Hinata replied, the soft laughter that came out of him sounded like a melody to Kageyama's ears which automatically bran a smile to both boys as Kageyama placed a simple yet loving kiss on Hinata's forehead.
"Because I really like you, dumbass, and you're giving me a chance and I just-" Kageyama started feeling quite embarrassed, he might be able to express his feeling now but that doesn't mean he was used to it at all. He tried burring his face into Hinata's orange hair, the smell of fresh shampoo took over any other smells. The raven felt like he was drowning in Hinata's scent, it felt so good. "I'm just really happy." he whispered; his eyes now closed trying to take in everything that's going on. Hinata's warm body on top of his, it was like his very own comfort blanket.
"I really like you too." Hinata said into Kageyama's muscly arms that were wrapped around him.
"When I came to Karasuno I lost all my friends, I mean you already know how no one liked me because of my stuck-up behaviour, I tried not to show it but it did hurt, it really did hurt. I made sure to always have my guard up because in my last school I found out how basically everyone I considered a friend in my team was actually talking about me behind my back, always making fun of me. I know this doesn't excuse how I behaved but I was just scared that I would get hurt like that again, and I just felt so... lonely. Then I moved to this school and I finally felt what it's means to have friends. Hinata, you've helped me so much. It's because of you that I finally found a place where I belong. From the day we've met you've always been there for me. You're always there when I have to set the ball, you never gave up on me. It's like you saved me that day, like you're my long lost knight, someone who was finally able to pull me out of my own darkness." Hinata could hear Kageyama's voice starting to quiver before he stopped talking. A tear managed to escape his watering eye. Hinata lifted his head of the setters pounding chest to take a clearer look at him, he reached up to him and wiped the tear away with his thumb wanted to give him as much comfort to the boy.
Hinata knew about Kageyama's past and how he didn't make many friends but he never knew how much he has actually affected him, he always just felt the need to be there for Kageyama, to help him through whatever he was going through.
"Don't cry." Hinata whispered as he placed a kiss on Kageyama's cheek.
"I'm not crying dumbass." Kageyama blurted out, knowing well enough that he was in fact crying. Both boys burst out laughing. Kageyama looked ethereal, the way the moon shone against his fluffy hair along with the way his skin looked so soft and pale in the moonlight.
"Let's stay here for a little while." Hinata followed placing his head once again on Kageyama's chest, eager for the warmth and comfort that Kageyama can provide for him. Both boys close their eyes, satisfied with their bodies touching, laying there in the middle of some field, under the shining stars.
"I have an idea." Kageyama's voice suddenly pierced the silence around them, Hinata doesn't know how long they have been laying down for but in that moment it's like they didn't have a care in the world, even if they stayed up all night.
"mmmm" Hinata mumbled into the setter chest.
"Come I want to buy something."
"Now?"
"Yes, I promise you it will be worth it." Hinata lifted himself and looked into Kageyama's eyes which were shining like the way they did when they played volleyball together, this only made Hinata more excited to see what he was planning. The raven helped Hinata up to his feet and they started walking back on the stony path. Their fingers intertwined as Hinata followed his lead to wherever he was taking him, Hinata could feel how Kageyama's thumb was brushing the back of his hand, such a simple action yet it got him feeling like a million dollars. The walk wasn't long and soon enough they stood in front of a 24-hour corner shop. The light from inside the shop was almost blinding as it contrasted the darkness around them. You could hear a mild buzzing noise coming from the lit-up neon lights which read, "food and wine store." which gave Hinata a retro vibe, somehow it fit in perfectly to the feel of their evening.
"Stay here for a second." Before Hinata could reply, Kageyama was already making his way inside the store, the middle blocker stood there watching as the raven disappeared inside, his hand feeling cold from the absents of another hand holding him. He sat against a bike stand as anxiety build up inside him waiting for Kageyama's return, it wasn't a bad feeling though. It was like excitement and the feeling of being nervous mixed together all at once. Hinata's eye darted upwards as he heard a bell ring and then spotted Kageyama coming out with a cardboard box in his hand.
"What did you buy?" Hinata said as he walked over to him, eyeing the object in his hands trying to read out the label on the box, he squinted his eyes as the darkness didn't help in the slightest. "Sparklers?"
"Yeah, come on." Once again Kageyama reached over to Hinata and practically dragged him to a nearby park. The middle blocker couldn't help but laugh at how eager he was, like they went back in time and once again turned 10 years old, experiencing life for the first time. They both sat down on a bench and Kageyama started opening the box he bought, taking out two sparklers, handing one to Hinata. The setter proceeded to take out a lighter and lit up his one fist and then Hinata's.
"From when do you have a lighter?" Laughed Hinata.
"I bought it just now. How was I supposed to light up sparklers without a lighter dumbass." There was a smile plastered on Kageyama's face as he watched the sparkler fizz in his hand, it illuminated his face giving it an orange glow. His eyes were glued to the flickering light in front of him, there was something magical about being surrounded by the darkness with two sparkles of light in front of them, their only source of light that lit up both their faces. "I thought that you might enjoy this kind of thing"
Hinata's heart turned at the sound of Kageyama's soft voice. "I do, it's so beautiful."
"I'm glad." Kageyama smiled before locked their eyes once again. "I want to make you happy and I know I'm not perfect and there will be days when I will mess up, but know I would never mean to hurt you."
"Kageyama, you already make me happy, just being with you is enough for me. You might not believe it but you've helped me as much as I helped you. You push me to my limits and you believe that I can be better in anything I do. You're always there to encourage me and you never give up on me. That's all I need from you." Hinata said as he let out one of his gorgeous smiles.
"God, I love that smile of yours." Hinata could instantly feel his face warm up at the compliment, it made him feel so good though, he couldn't remember the last time someone managed to make him feel so giddy inside, so appreciated. "Do you want to light another one?" Kageyama said as the light fizzed away from the sparklers they were holding.
"If it's with you I'd do anything."
"Anything?" It might have been dark but the smile on Kageyama's face was too wide for Hinata to not see.
"You just ruined it." The setter burst out laughing as Hinata made a little pout with his mouth.
"I'm just joking, here." Kageyama handed Hinata another sparkler and lit it. They watched the sparks dance together into the night, some brighter, some dimmer, Hinata didn't want this night to ever come to an end, he just wanted to be there with Kageyama, doing simple, childish things just like this, feeling like they are the only ones on this planet Earth.
Hinata didn't know when he fell asleep. He just felt the embrace of his boyfriend, the last thing he can remember was putting his head on Kageyama's shoulder as both of them watched the stars twinkled above them, such an innocent yet mystical moment. Boyfriend, just that word bran him joy, the fact that the man embracing him was now finally his. He was being carried, Kageyama's arms are under him and he was walking now holding Hinata in bridle style.
"What's going on?" Hinata whimpered out half asleep. Kageyama looked down to face Hinata who was now staring at him with his huge, glistening eyes. He really did look cute tonight, with his soft smile and his cute laugh, Kageyama knew with his whole heart that he has now defiantly fallen head over heels for Hinata and he will make sure to do everything for Hinata to show him that, he will shower him with all his love and he will make sure to treat him like the best thing that has ever happen to him, which he was.
"Shhhh, don't worry. Go back to sleep." Kageyama replied in the most wholesome and caring way possible. He really wanted Hinata to feel safe with him. For some reason he felt a very strong need to protect him. Hinata snuggled up to him, burring his face into his chest and wrapping his hands around his neck for extra support. It didn't take long for him to once again fall asleep in the fragrance of Kageyama's shirt.
In just a short amount of time Kageyama managed to get home and somehow opened his front door, being extra careful not to hit Hinata on the head when entering a room. and then place him gently on his bed trying his best not to wake up his tangerine. He really looked like an angel when he was sleeping. Kageyama almost forgot how Hinata really was like, one big ball of fire, ready to attack him with his witty remarks and weird jokes which he picked up on from Nishinoya and Tanaka. His orange hair complimented his outgoing personality. He took another moment to just admire Hinata, so peaceful and beautiful. Carefully he sat down next to him making sure he doesn't make a sound; he placed his hand on Hinata's fiery hair and stroked it which led him to give Hinata another soft kiss on his forehead before also entering the bed and hugging Hinata to sleep. The gesture was returned when Hinata also hugged Kageyama back, both boys trying to be as close as possible to each other. Not a space between them, it was like they had limited time with each other, both yearning for their touch.
Just like that Kageyama also allowed himself to close his eyes and go sleep with the most precious person in his arms. He has never felt so grateful in his life, it was like he was just given the most important gift and now has to do everything in his power to care for it. Kageyama really liked Hinata and he was going to make sure that nothing will stand in their way of being together. No matter the obstacles, they will be able to get through them.
Together.
