Hinata had driven us to his apartment in the inner city of Toyko. Looking on the outside of the building, I was flabbergasted. The exterior was sleek, dark windows. Like something out of a movie. The interior was just as extravagant. Once we got to Hinata's apartment number, I wasn't sure what to expect. I watched intently as he unlocked the door and peered inside.

My eyes widened. Everything looked like it'd come out of magazine. The furniture was white leather and his kitchen had polished granite. There was even a glass fireplace in the living area. Placed above that, a huge flat screen TV.

Hinata laughed at my shocked expression, "Yeah, having a volleyball career sometimes has its perks."

"No kidding," I sighed in awe.

"Let me get some blankets gathered and we can get you comfortable," he gestured to the couch, "Go ahead and get off your feet. We need to make sure you get some rest."

"No arguments here," I grinned as I carefully hobbled over to sit down.

Gosh.. this has to be the most comfortable couch I've ever been on.

I made myself at home and reclined to be sure I got my ankle elevated per the doctor's orders. Hinata hurried back in carrying a stack of the fluffiest blankets I'd ever seen, along with some pillows and what looked like a compression ankle brace.

"Hinata," I began.

"Shh! No complaints!" he winked, "I promised I'd be the one to spoil you this evening so that's exactly what I'm gonna do."

I pouted in frustration. I could never say no to him. Even before. Hinata grinned and began laying blankets over and around me and took a pillow to set up a prop for my ankle. Then, he kneeled in front of me and carefully took my leg in his hands. I winced slightly.

"Sorry!" he apologized, "But, can I take a look for just a sec? I have this brace that I used during my last injury that gives off heat and cold to helps manage the pain that comes with ankle injuries."

I bit my lip preparing for discomfort and nodded hesitantly. He nodded back and tenderly began placing my injured ankle in the wrap. I felt the cooling sensation envelop my ankle, soothing the throbbing that had been plaguing me.

"Better?" he asked looking at my reactions intently.

"Much.." I exhaled in relief, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," he kissed my forehead and moved to sit beside me.

I leaned into his shoulder, "So what now?"

"Well, I can order us some dinner and we can watch whatever you'd like," he suggested.

Right when he mentioned food, my stomach betrayed me and let out an intense growl.

"Heh," he chuckled, "I'll take that as a yes."

I blushed, "Y-yeah."

He began scrolling through his phone looking to call in our food order and handed me the tv remote, "Go ahead, I'll just be a second."

I nodded and began scrolling through the tv channels. Eventually, I decided to switch over to his streaming account and looked for something to watch. I settled on a horror movie I'd been interested in watching.

Hinata finished ordering and returned to holding me in his arms. As the movie played, I felt his grip tighten when jump scares occurred, I giggled asking if he was that afraid. To which he replied, that he was just being sure he was protecting me. I rolled my eyes at his response.

After a while, the doorbell rang and our food had arrived. Hinata had really gone all out. He'd even ordered extra entrees and dessert to be sure we'd both eat our fill. We both ate to our hearts content. Hinata insisted on feeding me himself, which I protested against fully.

"I'm not a baby, Shoyo," I crossed my arms.

"But you are hurt," he argued, "And it's only proper care that I make sure you rest fully, which means, I can take on the responsibility of feeding you."

I grumpily agreed just so he'd stop pestering me. We continued watching the movie while we ate. Of course, the cliché twist ending played and credits began to roll. I snorted at the predictability, but when I turned to look at Hinata, he was on the edge of his seat.

Of course he would fall for something like that..

I sighed and snuggled into his chest and inhaled deeply. The familiarity of his scent and warmth enveloped me further and I couldn't help but feel at home. He looked down at me and kissed the top of my head.

"You know, you can stay over if you'd like," he offered.

I tensed. I knew that this could only lead to further temptation to fall back into our previous rhythm. My conscience screamed how bad it would be to lead either of our feelings on. But, my heart begged me not to move a single toe from the comfort of his embrace.

I could tell Hinata was preparing for me to reject his offer.

I smiled softly, "Can I please stay?"

His eyes lit up, "You don't have to ask me twice."

I watched as he hurried cleaned up the area around us, rushed into the other room, and returned with more pillows and blankets.

"Watch this!" he said excitedly.

He pulled a lever on the side of the couch and a compartment opened up. He pulled on the opening and a whole cushion slid out. The couch converted into a whole king size bed.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah," he smiled, "I figured you'd prefer to camp out here."

"Oh but I still need to wash up," I realized I probably still smelled after my match.

"No worries," he reassured, "The master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub that definitely helps with sore muscles."

Geez.. what doesn't this place have?

I carefully stood up from the sofa and began in the direction of the master bedroom.

"Hey Vanji.." Hinata called after me.

"Yeah?" I turned.

"Need some help getting in?" he asked huskily.

"Shoyo!!" I squealed blushing brightly.

"Hey, can't blame a guy for trying.." he laughed.
