I woke to the smell of syrup and butter. I opened my eyes and rolled over and found a bouquet of sunflowers with a note that read, "For my sleepyhead - Shoyo"
I beamed and sat up taking the bouquet in my hands.
"Good morning gorgeous," Hinata called from the kitchen, "You hungry?"
"Starving." I replied as I made my way over to the kitchen, "Did I fall asleep last night before the match finished?"
"Yeah," he chuckled, "Don't worry. I told everyone goodnight for you."
"Aww were Bokuto and Atsumu upset?" I giggled.
"Yes they wouldn't shut up about flying over themselves to meet you.." he pouted.
"Aww.." I hugged Hinata from behind, "Is someone jealous?"
"Hmph.." he snorted, "Of course not. That's why I video called and showed them whose lap you were so cutely asleep in."
I smacked him in the chest, "Hinata! You seriously let them see me asleep? I've never even met them!"
"Ouch!! Well yeah, I had to prove a point. Although, you drooling in your sleep didn't really sell the appeal.." he teased.
I gasped and instantly ran back to the safety of the blankets and burrowed into a cocoon.
"Vanjiii!" Hinata cried, "I'm just kidding!!"
"No! I will never see the light of day!" I squealed.
When there was no reply, I carefully peeked out to see if the coast was clear. I peered out and Hinata was kneeling in front of the bed with a plate that held a stack full of freshly made pancakes.
My eyes widened and I overheard my stomach betray me.
"Hmm.." Hinata clicked his tongue, "If you'll never come out again, I guess I can enjoy these delicious pancakes all by myself."
My stomach growled louder.
I whined, "Shoyooo..."
"No, no." he wagged his finger, "You're far too embarrassed. I'll take this mountain of sweets on on your behalf."
I growled in frustration and dropped the blankets wrapped around me. Hinata grinned and strut back into the kitchen.
I glared at his little walk and tossed a pillow in his direction. Without even turning to look, he caught the pillow and carefully set down the platter.
"Such a grumpy one today sunshine," he laughed.
I huffed and stomped over to the table and sat down and crossed my arms over my chest. Hinata sat and moved his chair near mine, still beaming.
"How's the ankle?" he looked and carefully lifted my injured leg to rest on his knee.
"Still pretty tender but much more bearable thanks to you." I begrudgingly admitted.
"I'm glad," he took my hand in his and kissed the top of it.
I blushed, still wearing my characteristic pout.
"Heh, come on you. Let's eat." he said as he slid a plate of pancakes topped with blueberries and syrup over to me.
My mood instantly lifted, I happily thanked him for the food and ate to my hearts content. Hinata smiled at my reaction and ate silently while watching me to be sure I got enough.
Embarrassed, I shyly asked for seconds which he obliged with no questions asked. After breakfast, Hinata announced that we'd be going by the shopping mall to pick up some things and he'd be bringing me along to get some fresh air.
"But what will I wear? I can't run around in your sweats," I explained.
"Oh don't worry. While you were asleep I drove by your place to pick up a change of clothes," Hinata added while he cleaned up the mess around the kitchen.
"Mom let you in?!" I exclaimed.
"Of course," he answered, "She said I'm always welcome. She also helped me to figure out which clothes to grab."
Gee thanks mom.. Letting my ex-boyfriend into our house and raid my closet.
He walked over to the couch and revealed one of my drawstring backpacks and handed it over to me. I pulled out a pair of my jeans, my favorite top, and sneakers.
"Get dressed and we'll get going," he instructed.
I nodded and headed to the bathroom to get changed. As I was changing, I curiously opened one of the bathroom drawers. When it slid open, I saw an opened box of condoms. My heart stopped. I hadn't considered the fact that just because we'd broken up, didn't mean things in Hinata's life had particularly slowed down.
There was a soft knock at the door and I hurriedly shoved the drawer shut.
"C-coming!"
"Don't be too long babe. I want to be sure we're not out too long." Hinata called through the door.
"Yeah.. wouldn't want to be seen huh?" I muttered to myself.
