The squeaking noise of shoes echoed in the gym as all the Karusono boys continued to practise until their hearts were content. It has been around two weeks since Hinata and Kageyama made it official. They have only told their team about the newly born relationship. Eventually Hinata managed to come out to Kageyama and express why he would rather keep it a secret to majority of the school, he wasn't comfortable with everyone knowing about his sexuality, in fear that people might start looking at his differently just like before when he told his ex-girlfriend. Nevertheless, those two weeks were one of Kageyama's happiest weeks of his life, he has never felt so much joy in his heart, he finally felt like he belongs to someone who really liked him. He felt like he was finally able to have a friend who he could trust and share everything with.

As all practises, sooner or later they had to end, all the boys made their way to the locker room so they could finally switch to some fresh clothes and head home. They all gathered together saying their goodbyes as one by one left the building until only Hinata and Kageyama were left.

"You coming?" Kageyama called out about to head for the exit. They always waited for each other, it was their favourite part of the day, except from the volleyball practice of course. A time where they can walk together home and just talk about whatever comes to their minds.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a second, I just need to get my jacket from my locker."

"I'll be waiting outside." Kageyama left the room and Hinata made his way to his locker. As he opened his it a piece of paper flew out and fell on the ground. What is this? Hinata thought, he was sure he didn't place this note in his locker himself and he wasn't seen Kageyama near his locker all day so it would be rather unlikely for it to be his. He bent down to pick up the piece of paper and opened up the nearly folded note.

"Meet me tomorrow at the shed at 4 :)" Hinatakept re-reading the note as if there was a secret meaning to it. Maybe it is from Kageyama, but that's so not like him. The more he thought about it the more it seemed like the culprit was defiantly not his boyfriend. Maybe it was a confession note, that must be it, what else could it have it been. But who could have confessed to him, someone from his class? He didn't have any female friends expect from Yachi and Kiyoko. Wait- what if it's from them. Hinata's mind was running wild before a loud knock shook him from his thoughts.

"Hinata what's taking so long, you okay?" Kageyama shouted from outside. Apparently Hinata was staring into space for longer than he has realised.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" He replied shoving the note into his pocket and running out to meet up with Kageyama. The setter reached out to ruffle Hinata's bright hair, it brought comfort to the shorter boy, and his messy hair made him look even cuter which caused Kageyama to start blushing uncontrollably. He just wanted to give Hinata a big hug and kiss him all over, something he could have never imagine himself doing in the past.

They were walking for around 5 minuets and not a lot of conversation was going on, Hinata's mind was racing to many thoughts about the anonymous note, a big part of him had to just know who was the one who gave it to him, Hinata's curious side won once again and was set on meeting the mystery person. The had figured out that meeting up with the person and gently regecting their confession would be the best course of action. Just letting them down with no drama involved. Yes, that's what he was going to do.

Suddenly, out of nowhere Hinata felt the smooth touch of Kageyama's fingers interlocking with his, Hinata looked up to find him looking down at their hands holding each other, he's so cute, Hinata thought to himself.

"Is there something bothering you? You haven't said much." Kageyama starts talking, clearly worried for his boyfriend, Hinata is always so full of energy, always talking about the most random of things.

"No, I'm good." He answered, he felt his heart sink at the thought of him lying to Kageyama. He knew he should not have done that, so why couldn't he tell him the truth. There was something in him that was just holding him back from telling him about the note, probably because he didn't want hm to become jealous. It was only going to be a short meeting there's no need to Kageyama to start feeling doubts and sadness for no reason. He'll just tell him afterwards, when it's all over, this way Kageyama wouldn't have to worry.

"Did I do something wrong?" Kageyama spoke again with a subtle voice, you could hear how uneasy the words came out making him feel even worse.

"What, of course not. You've been so good to me the past weeks; you don't have to worry about anything." Hinata answered in a stern voice, he really didn't want to worry Kageyama, that could also explain why he didn't want to tell him the whole truth about what was bothering him.

Kageyama chuckles under his breath while looking down, trailing his eyes long the path he was walking on.

"You know," Kageyama started, "I always thought I wasn't the best person when it came to other people, I was always focused on myself and did what's best for myself. But now I know I wasn't a good person. When I met you and saw how much of a purely good person you were, helping others and treating everyone like your friend, believe it or not I really admired that. But I'm nothing like you, I just watched you go and become the best verion of yourself to everyone you met and I adored that part of you so much. It makes me think a lot, it makes me wonder what makes you think that I'm so special, that I'm worth of someone like you." Kageyama had a gentle smile on his face, it's like those words kind of hurt him in a way. But it was the truth, he wondered sometimes how come he got so lucky to have an angel like Hinata like someone like him.

"Kageyama... You've changed a lot since I've met you, you've also become a good person you know."

"But-"

"No buts, I love how much you're trying to become better and I've never seen you as a bad person, sure you had your moments but you were always good on the inside, no matter what you say I know you cared about other people and now you care about them even more, even if you don't always show it."

Hinata really meant what he said, although the guilt was building inside him. Keeping things from Kageyama was more unpleasant than he thought, but it was better this way, it would be less stressful for him. He looked over to search for Kageyama's expression, he seemed relieved, Hinata's goal for the time being is to make sure Kageyama is able to love himself in a way to make him realise that he blossomed into a different person, a person he should be proud of.

Hinata jumped in front of the raven, whilst still holding his hand. He gazed into Kageyama's sorrow soul, into his eyes. He could tell he's a bit lost, empty from the lack of affection, and so he was going to make sure that he could fill Kageyama with love. After all, all he wanted was happiness for him.

Steadily, Hinata lifted Kageyama's hand to his face and rested it on the palm of the raven-haired boy. Hinata closed his eyes for a split second to take in the tingling feeling he felt from just the touch of his boyfriend. Without realising Hinata reached out for Kageyama's collar and pulled him down to his level before placing one of his well-known passionate kisses. Kageyama's eyes widened at the sudden action, flustered all over his face. It's something he really liked about Hinata, he always manages to surprise him no matter how big or small the occasion is. Always able to keep him on his toes. With Hinata you never knew what was coming next.

"You know I'll always be there for you." Hinata continued as their foreheads touched and their eyes were closed. "Even if you were hospitalised for weeks I'd still be there, waiting for you." The dark-haired boy laughed at Hinata's obscured scenario.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me." He replied, creating a beautiful smile on Hinata's face.

"Wasn't there supposed to be a festival opening up near our school?" Hinata glistened with excitement, changing the topic to something much lighter pulling away from the taller boy so that he could look at his face properly.

"Yeah, but I wasn't planning on going." As the words left Kageyama's mouth he could tell how Hinata's enthusiasm left his body. It was true that Kageyama wasn't really keen on the idea of being surrounded by loads of people and socialising with people he didn't even care about. That's how usually these festivals worked out for him, there wasn't a day he actually was looking forward to any a social event. However, looking down at the orange haired boy below him made him realise that if perhaps he stuck to Hinata things wouldn't be as bad. Who knows maybe Hinata had some special aura that magically made anything they did together fun, and even exciting? "But I'll go if you're going."

"Yes, Okay let's go." Much to his surprise Hinata tightened Kageyama's hand and started to drag him away, something Kageyama has become accustom to so he just let it happen and followed Hinata who was quickly making his way towards where the festival was. As much as Hinata seemed like the bubbly person he was, the setter felt like something was off, like he was trying to mask what was really going on in his buzzing brain. They spend most of their time together, it would be weird if Kageyama didn't realise something was different, but if Hinata didn't want to tell him he wouldn't pressure him no more. Kageyama wanted Hinata to be the one to tell him if something was really bothering him. With that he decided to drop the subject for now.

It's everything what Kageyama expected. The overwhelming aroma of food invading his senses and the constant chatter of people surrounding him. It seemed like Hinata was enjoying himself though, which in reality the only reason he could put up with being in such a loud place. If there was one thing Kageyama hates it's when there were way too many people around him, always bumping into him and going into his own personal bubble. The only person to be allowed to get so close to him was Hinata and that was only because of the mutual trust he had in him. Whenever there was a tournament and he could feel eyes around him, piercing his soul he at least had volleyball as a distraction from the countless people gawking their eyes on him which defiantly calmed his nerves, the same thing applied to Hinata who was now that distraction, so at least he had someone to lean on.

The whole night Kageyama followed Hinata as they explored every inch of the festival, trying out foods of different flavours and playing games to their hearts content. When it was just the two of them messing around with the endless activities Kageyama actually did enjoy himself, especially when he got to hear Hinata's soft laugh that sounded like music to his ears. Whilst walking through the wave of people, hands interlocked, they stumbled upon a huge poster with "FIREWORK DISPLAY 8PM" written in bright red print. The two boys looked at each other like they were trying to read each other's mind.

"Do you want to watch it with me?" Hinata asked, showing a shy smile that just seemed to not go away.

"Dumbass." Kageyama replied as he turned around and started pulling Hinata with him. He made sure he wasn't facing the orange haired boy as a smile crept onto his face. He bit his cheek to force himself to go back to his expressionless face before turning around and looking back at Hinata who was trailing him.

"Where we going?"

"You said you wanted to watch the fireworks." Even if Kageyama wasn't looking straight at Hinata's face he could sense the other beaming with excitement.

"Why are we walking away from the festival then?"

"You don't expect to be able to see anything with so many people around, do you?" Hinata admitted that Kageyama was right. It was very crowded and it would be difficult to see anything. He didn't even think of that. "I know a place where we can get a good view." Was the last thing Kageyama said before they both made their way up a road which overlooked the whole festival. The lights below them danced among the various dots of people that were making their way around the crowd. A quiet murmur of voices piercing the silent air around them, it was the perfect spot, like from a made-up story. They both sat on a bench that was facing the stunning view.

Kageyama could hear the gentle breathing of his orange haired boyfriend which only made him more desperate to stare at Hinata's subtle features. Since they started dating it has come to his attention all the small features he didn't see before. Like the light freckles that were scattered all over Hinata's face, or how his eyes were the colour of the sky on a summer evening. Even the way his lips were slightly round, the same colour as his cheeks whenever he was blushing at the stupidest of things. He appreciated those small things about Hinata, it made him feel closer to him.

"Oh my God, look it's starting." Hinata bounced in his seat whilst grabbing onto Kageyama's sleeve. His eyes were glued to the exploding colours that invaded the sky. Every pigment you could have though off was now falling out of the sky taking away Hinata's breath. Yet Kageyama didn't take him eyes away from the man in front of him. Hinata was his firework. A burst of colour in his life, someone so loud that whenever he was with him, he couldn't take away his attention from him, someone he could stare at for hours without end. Someone so... beautiful. He could see the sparkle in those honey eyes, a sense of determination. To Kageyama Hinata was the one who was breath-taking.

"Hinata?"

"Huh?" Hinata turned is vision away from the explosives and focused on the raven in front of him. He could see the bursts of colour reflecting of off his eyes, making his face turn to different hues.

"What will I do without you?"

"What do you mean?" Kageyama took a death breath, he didn't really know where he was exactly going with this conversation. All he knew was that he didn't want to spend a day without him ever again.

"After we finish school. What will happen if we go on different teams?"

"I- I haven't really thought about that." Hinata looked back at the fireworks, mesmerised under their spell whilst he thought further about Kageyama's question.

"You helped me become the setter I am today. Without you I don't know if I'll be good enough." Hinata looked back at Kageyama who was still observing him and all his features. There was a saddened look on his face which surprised the black-haired boy.

"Don't say that." Hinata's hand travelled up to Kageyama's face and started stroking his cheek with his thumb. "You're the most talented player I know, even without me. I don't know what will happen in the future but I can promise you that in the end we will still be playing on the same side of the court. I will make sure of it." There was that twinkle again, that twinkle in Hinata's eyes whenever he spoke about something passionate. Kageyama couldn't help but kiss the hand that was slowly caressing his face before pulling Hinata towards him.

"You better keep that promise." Hinata laughed into Kageyama's shirt. He loved the warmth that he felt against his cheek, contrasting the cold evening breeze that was hitting the other half of his body.

"I promise."
