Both of our phones were ringing off the hook once the news report aired. We both were still in shock. We thought we'd avoided detection.

When Hinata finally gathered the courage to glance at his phone's notifications, he saw the MSBY team manager had texted him to call "ASAP".

He groaned loudly, "I'm sorry.. I have to take this."

I shrugged and sighed bringing the covers over my head. I knew this was a bad idea.I curled into myself and listened to Hinata's voice during his phone call.

"I know.. I said it was a family matter.. Well.. Vanji is basically family.. we've known each other since high school and she IS Kageyama's cousin.. so we're all pretty tight knit and-" he rambled on.

I could tell he was probably in some trouble with the team, and probably PR management. Didn't really seem like a MSBY jackal should be running off to watch a high school girls tennis match. I felt terrible that he'd come all this way just to get wrapped in all this because of me.

"Yeah, I understand. Don't worry. I'll sort it out. I'll be back in a week before our next match. I'll log all my workouts into the team app. Thanks," Hinata responded dully.

I tensed hearing how flat and emotionless his tone had seemed. Then, I felt the bed shift next to me, the moving of blankets and Hinata crawled beneath the sheets with me.

"I-I'm sorry I got you in trouble I-" I began.

"Shut up.." he spoke roughly, "Don't you dare apologize. None of this is your fault."

Hinata pulled me close into his chest and pressed his lips against the top of my head then moved to kiss around my face.

"I came because I wanted to see you," he murmured between kisses.

I blushed and whined, "Shoyooo.. stoppp.."

He chuckled and he teasingly suckled and nibbled on my neck, "I can't. I've already gone off the deep end. Now, accept your fate."

The way his teeth grazed my neck tickled and I had to bite my bottom lip to muffle my giggles. I reached for the nearest pillow and tried to shield myself from Hinata's reign of terror.

This only made him more determined. He easily snatched the pillow and tossed it away. Being under the covers, I had nowhere to hide. He peppered my face with kisses and whispered softly little comments about how much he missed me and how beautiful I was.

I wriggled still attempting to escape his grip, "So what did you mean when you said you'd handle IT? What is IT?"

"Oh nothing.. it's just some stupid public image stuff," he muttered.

"Wait.." I huffed sitting up and using my hand to block his lips from going any further, " What's that supposed to mean?"

"Vanji.. seriously.. it's nothing," he insisted, "Now, please?"

He gave me his saddest puppy dog pout and of course my efforts to resist were to no avail. I pulled him close and he resumed.

After we'd both come up from the comforters for air, we realized how late it had gotten. Hinata had glanced at the clock that read, 12:30 am, "Well.. I suppose now we can definitely classify this as a sleepover."

"Hmm.. never been to one so I wouldn't know." I shrugged.

"WHAT?!! NEVER?!!"

I jumped, "Umm.. well no.. I moved around a lot so never really got invited."

Hinata practically bolted from our space and darted into the bedroom. I heard rustling and he came sprinting in with an assortment of video games, controllers and two sets of headsets.

He plopped down beside me, hurriedly snatched up his phone and began texting away.

"Shoyo, what you doing?" I leaned over to see what he was typing.

He quickly hid his phone from my gaze, "Hey hey! No peeking!"

I huffed and crossed my arms. He snorted when he saw my impatient expression and began setting up his gaming system. As soon as the Home Screen loaded, there were multiple gamer tags requesting matches. Some that I didn't recognize. Others I knew immediately.

T-Rex11 and YamaGUCCI, K0zuk3n pinged across the screen.

I snickered at the cheesiness of the gamer tags and the obvious identities behind them.

I placed on my headset and took a controller from Hinata as we both readied to enter the match. Instantly my headphones were flooded with the sound of "bro-talk".

"Hinata!! Dude you're all over the Internet!!"

"How could you not tell us you were sneaking away to be with a girl?"

"Bro code man!!"

"Yeah! Bros before-"

I heard a familiar voice interject, "Um guys, Vanji is online with us?"

Silence.

"Ummm.. thanks Kenma??" I laughed awkwardly.

"No problem.." he chuckled.

"Wait!! Vanji? Is this the chick you wouldn't shut up about?" an unknown voice inquired.

Hinata hid his expression from me and gulped, "Uhh.. yeah.. thanks for mentioning that Bokuto.."

Everyone burst into laughter and I smirked. It was nice to know I could still fluster him.

The match began. It was a battle royale type game so everyone scattered across the map. Kenma, naturally, had the highest XP on his character so I figured he would be one of the ones in the final standing so I tried to gather as much ammo and items as I could. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had teamed up and were already camping. Bokuto and Atsumu were both running across the terrain like madmen trying to find anyone to take them on.

Hinata, on the other hand, had already found himself a vantage point and I knew his tactic. He would wait patiently and take out players like Bokuto and Atsumu. Like I had expected, the first kill alert lit up the screen:

BOKUBRO killed by headshot!!

"Avengeee meee Atsumuuuu!!" Bokuto dramatically cried.

Hinata leaned in towards the screen and stuck out his tongue.

Oh, he's serious this time.

I navigated my character towards the last place I had seen Tsukishima and Yamaguchi run. I'd carefully hidden amongst the surroundings. I watched closely through my scope and took my shot.

YamaGUCCI killed by headshot!!

I heard Yamaguchi swearing up a storm through my speakers and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Vanjiii.."

Shit...

"Come out, come out.." Tsukishima spoke in a sing-song tone.

Ohhh.. he's gonna kill me.

The match turned into multiple rounds. All ending with us being demolished by Kenma. Still, I had enjoyed playing and conversing with the group.

My phone lit up alerting me of a text notification. While Hinata was still arguing with the others, I opened the notification:

Tsukishima: Soooo.. sleeping over @ your ex's?

Me: ... look this wasn't planned

Tsukishima: Sureeee .. the whole knight-in-shining armor routine had nothing to do with it, huh??

Me: .. why are you such an asshole?

Tsukishima: Because you love it when I'm an asshole

Me: Stfu Tsuki...

I glanced over to Hinata who had started another round with everyone. I chose to opt out of the game and lay on Hinata's lap. I could vaguely overhear the conversations being had.

"Sooo... what other sleepover activities are you guys going to partake in this evening?" Atsumu inquired.

Hinata blushed brightly. I giggled and leaned forward, bringing my mouth to his mic, "Wouldn't you like to know, pretty boy?"

The sound of cackling and cheers overwhelmed the speakers.

"Vanjiii..." Hinata groaned, "Don't encourage them."

"Oh don't worry," I winked, "I don't plan on sharing any details."

He playfully pulled me into his lap and trapped me in his arms. I leaned into his chest and listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat as I drifted to sleep.
