*CAUTION: Note there will be some lemony situations in this chapter!*
The match couldn't have gone any better. Everyone was playing at their absolute best. I couldn't believe it, but, Hinata looked even better than ever.
It seemed that power behind his recent tantrum had finally taken form. His spikes were unstoppable. The echoing sound they made as they made contact with the floor sent chills up everyone's spine.
We won both sets with ease and I'd never seen everyone so pumped up. The bus was a chaotic mess of chants and chatter.
Although, I hardly minded. Hinata had placed himself beside me and made it very well known that no one else could steal my attention. He kept his arm tightly around my waist and had covered us both with his blanket. He wore his headphones and continued staring out the window, but, he never loosened his hold on me.
I couldn't help but feel ecstatic. The rhythm of his heartbeat so close again. The comfort of his warmth and strong embrace. I felt at home.
I closed my eyes and leaned into him. I felt him chuckle and begin playing with my hair.
"What are you up to?" I smiled absent-minded.
"Ohhh just thinking," he teased.
"What about?" I inquired.
"How much I want to pick up where we left off this afternoon?" he mumbled as he kissed the top of my head.
I blushed and slid under the blanket to hide my expression.
"Oh nooo no no," he giggled, "No more hide-and-go-seek, Vanji."
His ducked under the blanket and our faces were dangerously close. His breath warm against my cheeks. He chuckled and brushed my hair out of my face.
He kissed my cheek and re-emerged from under the cover and tugged me back up with him. He gently laid my head on his lap and began gently tousling my hair again. The sensation soothed me all over and I felt myself beginning to fall asleep.
"I love you." He whispered.
The sound of his voice uttering those words.
Was I dreaming?
~~~
CAUTION: Lemons!!!*
After we made it home, Hinata had walked me home and kissed me goodnight and gone back home. I was happy to have spent time with him. But, I'd be lying if I didn't admit I was a bit disappointed that nothing else came of the comment he'd made on the bus.
That night, I laid in bed and tossed and turned. I felt the familiar butterflies.
How can he do this so easily?
Bzzzzzz..
I saw the light of my cell. I flipped it open to a new message:
Hinata: Hey, you awake?
Me: Mhmm, can't sleep.
Hinata: Me either. Want some company?
Me: Sure, I don't mind talking with you :)
Hinata: Okay then great ;) come outside.
Wait what?
I jumped at the sound of tapping on my window. I opened my curtains and saw Hinata crouching outside my window sill.
I opened my window.
"Hinata, what the hell are you doing? It's 11 o'clock at night." I hissed.
"I know, I know I just.. can't get you out of my head. And it's driving me crazy. Can you.. come out?" he pleaded.
"You mean sneak out?" I snorted.
"Well.. yeah." He admitted.
I sighed, "Fine.. give me a minute."
He lit up when I said that. I quickly and quietly ran and got changed into a light knit sweater and jeans and sneakers. Then, I carefully climbed out the window so not to wake anyone.
Hinata reached out his hand and helped me shimmy down and right into his arms.
"Okay my princess," he laughed, "Off we ride."
"Idiot.." I sighed.
"Oh come onnn... you can't resist my charms." He insisted.
I smiled and kissed him, "No.. no I can't unfortunately."
He grinned and grabbed my hand, "C'mere. I want to show you something."
I followed behind him. We ran past many of the town street lamps and made our way towards a hillside ledge that had a view of the night sky.
I never realized how beautiful the stars were this time of night, and how the town lights twinkled in the evening air.
Hinata pulled me close and I could feel him shaking.
"Hinata-are you..?" I began.
He began kissing me. Roughly, hungrily. Just like before. I didn't even feel my feet leave the ground. He was carrying me to a clearing in the wooded picnic area behind us.
He had laid me down and I felt something soft against my back. I turned and saw a quilt set up on the ground with lots of other pillows and blankets.
"You planned this didn't you?" I blushed profusely.
"I.. I did. I wanted to bring you out here tonight to.. enjoy the stars with me," he said breathlessly.
I giggled, "Looks like you had something more than stargazing in mind."
He moved to hover over me, "Do you mind?"
My heart began to race, "N-no."
He smiled and his eyes almost shined in the darkness around us.
He leaned forward and began kissing my neck, then my cheeks, and he hovered over my lips.
"I love you," he cooed.
I felt his butterfly kisses showering over me and could barely keep my mind straight.
"I.. I love you." I managed to whisper.
At that, his eagerness returned. I felt Hinata begin gripping my hips and pulling me into him further. He continued by kissing every inch of my neck and nibbling against it.
"Tell me.. do you want me to stop?" he asked.
"H-Hinata," I gasped.
"Vanji.." he paused, "I love you. But I don't want you to feel pressured into doing anything you wouldn't want to do."
"I.. I want you Hinata.. please.. I.. I need you too." I begged.
In that moment, there was no one else. Just us two, amongst the stars.
