KAGEYAMA
A WEEK LATER
Things have been going more than great with Hinata. I'm kind of disappointed that Asahi is going to be my partner next week. Bokuto and Kuroo are excited since they want us to be the big 3. I feel more connected with Hinata now that we have been practicing twice as much as everyone else. Our vice is damn near perfect.
"Focus Kageyama," says Hinata. "We almost got it." I roll my eyes because he is the one holding us up. He can feel me out when I'm tossing him the ball but for some strange reason he is struggling to time when to hit the ball. He is either tipping the ball or hitting air. It's weird considering his skillset.
"I'm tired," I admit. "We have been at it for over 6 hours!"
"I know, I know," he whines. He runs his hand through his sweaty hair. He looks so cute with his hair off his forehead. I wish he would wear it that way once in a while. Hinata tosses me the ball. I sigh before hitting the ball into the air towards my partner. He leaps into action tipping the ball once again. He lands on his feet glaring at the ball as it hits the floor. "Fuck!"
"Relax," I reply. "I think because you are tired it is getting harder for you to focus."
"Maybe," he pouts walking over to pick up the ball. He tosses me the ball.
"We're going to have to stop soon," I state. "I'm dirty and hungry as hell."
"Okay," says Hinata. "You have been hanging in there with me so I can't complain." I'm not use to seeing anyone practice longer than me. However, practicing with the team 8-10 hours a day. My body is still adjusting to that much activity. I hit the ball over to Hinata but this jump is different. I watch as he flies into the air effortlessly. I stare in amazement as he closes his eyes hitting the ball with unbelievable speed and power. Hinata doesn't land on his feet as he falls to the gym floor with a loud thump. I run over to him.
"Oh my god," I exclaim. "Are you okay?" I kneel down helping him sit up.
"I think I hit the ball," he pants out trying to catch his breath. I think he had the wind knocked out of him when he hit the floor.
"You nailed it," I tell him. "I think we might be able to create a quick strike with this." That move is something I always felt our team needed. It is not just skill that is needed but chemistry. I couldn't connect with anyone on my high school team to utilize it. Hinata looks up at me still gasping for air.
"Y-you're kidding," he chokes out.
"I wouldn't joke about something like this," I say standing up. "You need some rest…."
"N-no," he stammers. "I want to see if I can do it again."
"Are you sure?" I ask. "We can just try again tomorrow."
"No!" he exclaims standing up. He wobbles almost falling but I catch him. God we are sweaty as fuck. Hinata shirt is drenched. "Maybe…..you're right…..I need help walking."
"Okay," I say softly glad he sees he is at his limit. At this point he is risking injury. He is lucky enough that fall didn't hurt him. "Sit here and let me clean up really quick." I get the balls cleaned up making my way back over to Hinata. He looks better at least as I help him stand up. We begin walking towards our room.
"Ugh going to dinner tonight with my mom is going to suck," he groans.
"A home cooked meal sounds nice," I reply. "I know your mom misses you." His mom calls him at least twice a week. I think he was suppose to see her a few weeks ago but never made it over there.
"She does," he admits hobbling along. "Why don't you come with me?"
"Huh?" I ask glancing down at him. "I couldn't…"
"You can," he replies giving a small smile. "My mom likes meeting my team mates anyway. She has met everyone except you, Lev, Akaashi and Oikawa. You can be the first of our new team members." I think about my mom and what's she is like. My mom is nothing like his mom, but I'm still scared. "She would be honored to meet you. She is cooking my favorite meat buns homemade of course. Ramen with the best broth ever. Family secret by the way." I chuckle.
"Okay, okay," I reply. "I'll go."
"Yay!" he cheers pumping his right fist into the air before winching. "Oh Jesus, I'm feel sore."
"You did hit the floor pretty hard," I reply. "I'm hoping you won't have any bruising."
"Shit, me too," he mutters. "I think I got it now." I let go of his waist as he proceeds to walk slowly to the room. "You can shower first today. I will be a little longer."
"Okay," I reply removing my shirt. "Going to have to wash clothes tomorrow."
"Same," says Hinata grabbing his phone. I grab my clothes that I wear to Hinata's mom home. I finish my shower quickly as planned. I hope she doesn't mind me wearing adidas sweats. I have on a tee shirt. I usually wear nothing but shorts during the summer, but I want to look professional a little. I head out of the bathroom. "You look great." I begin to blush.
"I look okay," I mutter walking over to my nightstand to grab my tablet.
"My mom isn't judgmental," replies Hinata walking towards the bathroom. "Those pants showcase your height in the greatest way possible. I'll be right back!" He disappears into the bathroom. I sit down unlocking my tablet. I wonder what is happening on Facebook. I hit the icon going to my page. I am surprised to see I have a friend request. I never have a friend request. I click on the button seeing Hinata sent me a friend request 3 weeks ago. Jesus. I barely get on here, so I didn't know. I accept his request going to his page. God it looks so lively. He posts at least once a week. He doesn't overdo it. Looks like his posting has gone down since he is training. I go through his timeline looking at pictures and memes he posts. He even takes those silly quizzes I seen some of my team mates take.
"God, he has such a female ass," I mutter. Hinata is clowning around in one photo with Noya. I'm not sure who took the picture but all I can focus on is him bent over. His ass literally sits up. It even has a jiggle if you look closely when we are practicing which I do. I cover my face becoming so embarrassed. It seems like with each passing day I am becoming more and more aroused by him. I frown a little because I don't think I am confused anymore…..I might actually be gay. No female has ever aroused me the way Hinata has.
"You ready?" asked Hinata scaring me.
"Um yeah," I reply locking my tablet. I close my eyes because I am erect right now. Hinata is grabbing his cell phone and his keys.
"Man, it's so weird to be driving my car after all this time," he replies. "Let's get going." I put my phone and hands in my pocket. I follow behind Hinata. We get to the lobby running into Noya and Asahi. Looks like they are coming back from their evening walk.
"Where are you going?" asked Noya.
"To see my mom," says Hinata. "And Natsu. I still need to talk to her."
"Is she still acting up?" asks Noya.
"A little," he replies. "I'm hoping after our talk tonight she will get it together."
"Don't forget about curfew," says Asahi.
"It's Saturday," chuckles Hinata. "We will be back. It's just dinner. I'll see you guys later." I follow Hinata to his car. It's not super fancy but certainly nice. I get in moving the seat back. Not sure who was the last person over here, but they had to be short. "It's going to be a 40 minute drive as my mom is in the country."
"Alright," I reply. "I'm in no hurry." My tummy grumbles. Hinata chuckles.
"I should step on it," he replies starting up his car. "God I can't wait to eat everything she prepared tonight."
"I hear," I reply. Hinata gets on the main road making his way towards the freeway.
"Since I kind of fizzed back there towards the end of training," he says. "Are you able to tell me what happened? I want to see if I can get it tomorrow."
"Sure," I reply. I explain to Hinata the best I can what I saw. He seems in shock that it even happened. He doesn't remember it. I think him being exhausted he pretty much tuned out. We talk about our training for tomorrow. Hinata thinks us sleeping in would do some good. I think so. I know we are closer to his moms when I begin to see lots of fields. At times I even spotted a few dirt roads. He pulls up to the cutest little house I have ever seen. It looks something out a movie.
"Don't worry we have AC," he says getting out of the car.
"I wasn't thinking that," I reply getting out of his car. "I was thinking how cozy it looks." Hinata looks surprised.
"Really?" he asks. "Most people want to know why my mom isn't in a bigger house. She really doesn't need it. It's just my sister and her." I nod in agreement. Hinata uses his key to unlock the door. Soon as we step inside, I can smell the ramen. My tummy grumbles. I slide my shoes off hearing footsteps run towards us. I look up to see Hinata sister jumping in his arms.
"Shoyo!" she exclaims.
"God you're heavy!" he exclaims. She climbs down off him slapping his arm.
"I'm not fat," she pouts.
"I didn't say you were," he replies. "I said you were heavy. That is completely different!"
"Same thing," she sasses before noticing me. "Who is this?"
"This is our rookie Kageyama Tobio," he replies. "He is a setter. Kageyama, this is my little sister Natsu." Natsu hair is all the way down her back. It's not wavy or curly like Hinata's. It is certainly as orange though.
"Hi," she replies reaching her hand out to me. I shake her hand.
"Nice to meet you," I reply. Natsu smirks at me before Hinata clears his throat. It wasn't meant at me but at her. Natsu releases my hand.
"Mom is in the kitchen setting up the table," she explains.
"Shouldn't you be helping with that?" asks Hinata. Natsu sticks her tongue out her brother. He slides his shoes off, and I follow him into the kitchen. I see a short woman, much shorter than Hinata and Natsu.
"Is that my baby!" she exclaims.
"Mom!" he exclaims sounding embarrassed.
"Oh, stop it," says his mom hugging him. She looks at me. "Hi there Kageyama!" She knows my name.
"H-Hi," I stammer caught off guard. I wasn't expecting that. She is treating me as if she has known me forever.
"Don't be shy," she coos. "Give me a hug." She hugs me tightly. "Pretty solid there. Let's get some food in your belly's."
"Mom we're going to wash our hands," says Hinata.
"Perfect," she grins. "I will have everything ready when you get back."
