KAGEYAMA

Hinata is talking to his mom and sister on the phone. I decided now is a good time to go see Akaashi. I need to talk to him about what happened this morning. I sent him a brief message but I still need to provide more details. It is late in the afternoon, and the hotel is quiet. One more night here. Then Hinata and I go back to sleeping in our own beds.

Kageyama: Hey, you ready? Want to meet me in the lobby

Akaashi: That's cool. We should go somewhere privately to talk

Kageyama: Not sure where we can go?

Akaashi: lol Bokuto car

Kageyama: Is he using valet?

Akaashi: You know damn well he is. I can drive us somewhere or whatever

Kageyama: Cool

I get on the elevator heading down to the huge lobby. I am hanging around the lounge area in front of the front desk. I want to ensure that Akaashi spots me. He comes off the elevator wearing some loose destroyed jeans and a tee shirt with a band I never heard of.

"You look much better," he notes as he gets closer.

"I feel better," I admit. "God….last night was a humiliating nightmare from hell." He laughs as we walk to the side of the hotel where valet is.

"Yeah," replies Akaashi pulling out his valet ticket. "I have never seen you…..I don't know…..baring your soul…..in vomit." We both chuckle as we step outside. A valet approaches us immediately. Akaashi hands them his valet ticket. "I'm sure you have much to tell me."

"I do," I reply. "I opened up to Oikawa last night for god sake. I wanted to talk to you, but you were hard to pin down." Akaashi blushes shifting his eyes.

"Yeah…." he mutters. I am pretty sure he was with Bokuto. We are quiet knowing it is best to wait until we are in the car. Valet pulls up with Bokuto car. It is an expensive Lexus SUV. Akaashi gets behind the wheel as I get on the passenger side. He takes his ticket back putting it inside his wallet. "I am going to pick Katuro and I up something to eat." This is the rare time I heard him use Bokuto first name. Sounds so natural.

"Did you place an order yet?" I inquire. "Maybe I can do the same for Shoyo and I." Akaashi smirks making eye contact with me before taking off.

"Sure," he replies. "We are getting ramen. I wanted to place the order when I get there so it will be as fresh as possible when I get back to the hotel."

"Smart," I reply. "I never ordered ramen to go."

"Most place have the cook ingredients separate," he explains. "You put it together when you get to where you are going." Akaashi is a good driver as he whips into traffic effortlessly with Bokuto SUV. "Did the thing with your parents get to you?"

"It did," I sigh. I told Akaashi about my dad demanding I come home through text. "I spoke to Shoyo this morning and he is going to come with me to my parents in two weeks. He said he won't lie to them but also won't tell them the truth either."

"That's good," replied Akaashi. "I know that was a huge concern you had."

"He is more supportive than I thought he would be," I admit. "I just didn't want him to see me as some kid and dump me for not being man enough."

"It can be hard," says Akaashi. "With us dating older men it's always in the back of your mind that they will want someone more mature. Like we can't even legally drink for god sake."

"Exactly!" I exclaim glad that Akaashi gets me.

"Granted I do believe our men wouldn't leave us," he replies. "Doesn't mean we won't think about it though." He sighs. "I am assuming everything is good now?"

"It is," I reply. "I'm going to have Shoyo um top me soon." Akaashi grins wildly. "You're making me blush, stop it." He begins to laugh.

"I'm excited," he admits. "Like I swear to god there is nothing like having Bokuto just fucking takes me."

"I believe it," I say with a small smile. "I have never been in love before. I started to think how I want Shoyo to make love to me. The thought makes me feel complete."

"Ditto," says Akaashi pulling up to the ramen house.

"You top Bokuto?" I ask.

"Let's place our order and then I will answer that question," he says putting the car in park. I nod in agreement. Akaashi and I walk into the ramen shop. It smells good in here increasing my confidence to order from here. Akaashi walks up to the take out counter grabbing a menu for me.

"Do you know what you want?" I inquire looking over the menu.

"I know Bokuto wants something spicy," he states. "I didn't know what I want." Akaashi and I both talk over the menu deciding what we want. We place our order before heading back outside. They will be texting us when our order is ready. I had to use Hinata credit card. He gave it to me early today in the event I need anything. I sigh because I really need to get a job. I don't want to have to rely on my boyfriend for everything. We get comfortable in the car. "To your earlier question, yes I have topped Bokuto. Not often though."

"Oh okay," I reply. "I researched online on how to make it easier."

"You are still new to this, so I recommend investing in a butt plug," says Akaashi. "Wear it every day for as long as possible. It will make things easier for you and Hinata."

"All day…" I mumble.

"Trust me on this," says Akaashi. "I am sure you know about the prep involved."

"Yes," I replied. "I'm nervous to eat." Akaashi chuckles.

"You can eat," he replies. "You have to just prep before once more before activities. No need in starving yourself."

"Thank god," I reply. "You and your man enjoying the hotel?" Akaashi nods his head grinning.

"Katuro got a suite," he explains. "It looks like a damn condo. It's big, roomie….he fucked me on the sofa and table already."

"Oh my god…" I say blushing. "W-we've only been here 24 hours."

"I know," he replies with a chuckle. "We like having sex…..a lot." We both laugh. Akaashi and I talk about being intimate with our lovers until our food is ready. He is the only guy I can ever be this close to besides Hinata. I feel more comfortable with him over Oikawa. Plus, Oikawa tends to run his mouth too much. We grab our items, and I can't help myself as I open the container holding the main ingredient. The broth smells incredible. I'm so looking forward to this. "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure," I reply as he drives back to our hotel.

"I want to marry Katuro," he replies. I stare at him.

"Are you sure?" I ask. "We are so young…"

"I fucking love that man," he replies. "I want to make it permanent and official. It would also be nice to see others look at his finger and see he is spoken for."

"I never thought of it like that," I say after a minute. Akaashi sighs.

"I know," he replies. "While I am confident in our relationship he gets hit on a lot. Last night there was some bitch in face that wouldn't leave him alone. Katuro can be nice and friendly. He isn't going to tell you to fuck off." I see Akaashi knuckles begin to turn white as his grip tightens on the wheel.

"Did you tell him how you feel?" I ask.

"Yes," he replies. "That is how we ended up fucking on the table." Okay then…..the rest of the ride back to the hotel is quiet but what do I even say to that. I mean…..it's almost like Bokuto turned his proposal down. Akaashi gets out of the car. "Thanks for coming with me. I actually needed that."

"Same," I reply. "I don't know what I would do without you. Things would be so much more difficult." Akaashi nods.

"It's hard to not have someone to talk to," he admits. "I'm glad we're friends." Yeah, friends. Akaashi begins to smile. "Don't be nervous! Dinner with your folks is going to be great." I roll my eyes not holding my breathe. "Have faith man." If he knew my parents, he wouldn't be saying that. We go our separate ways heading to our perspective rooms.
