*CAUTION: Suggestive themes and slight lemon!*

I could barely catch my breath I'd just spilled my guts about the events that occurred. Hinata was pacing back and forth, which only heightened my nerves. He'd barely spoken a word. In fact, all he did was nod. I watched him closely. His nostrils would flare when I'd mention Tsukishima. One of his trademark cues when he was aggravated or jealous.

I could feel the room beginning to spin, I couldn't focus. I didn't know how to handle the situation. The tension in the room was suffocating.

"I-I think I'll just go.." I suggested.

"No."

"Shoyo, I'm honestly not feeling well and I kinda ruined things.." I whispered.

He stopped his stride and moved to sit on the couch beside me. He leaned over and rested his head in his hands.

Without looking in my direction, he reached over and took my hand in his and brought it to rest in his lap. I looked through my eyelashes and read the expression on his face. He looked defeated, heartbroken.

"Do you love him?" he grimaced.

"Shoyo.."

"DO YOU LOVE HIM VANJI?"

"NO." I retorted.

He fell silent. He still looked so at a loss. I pondered for a moment and eventually decided to make my next move. I carefully wiggled my way into his lap and buried my face in the crook of his neck. He didn't move to hold me which definitely broke my heart a little.

"Shoyo please.." I pleaded.

"I can't Vanji. Not right now," he murmured.

I couldn't believe how quickly things had soured. I got up and relocated to the bedroom. I closed the door behind me and laid in Shoyo's bed. I grabbed the nearest pillow and screamed my heart out. I had really screwed up. I was selfish and had only taken my own interests into consideration and ended up hurting two people I truly cared about.

I yanked the covers over my head and curled into myself and sobbed until my cries were hoarse. Eventually, my breathing softened and the darkness soothed me to sleep.

~~~

I woke to the sound of light snoring. I lifted the covers and found Shoyo laying beside me. He was wearing his headphones and sprawled over the comforter. He could sleep just about anywhere so I wasn't surprised he didn't mind that I was hogging the blankets.

I started to climb out of the bed when I felt something wrap around my waist and drag me back down.

I yelped and realized Hinata had pulled me back into bed and had a death grip around my waist. He was basically using my stomach as a pillow. I did my best to wriggle free but it was no use. I sighed and settled back in. I carefully stroked his hair and saw his resting face turn into a smile.

I grinned as I noted the his features. He'd grown so much in the past year. His face had become more mature and chiseled. He had more freckles, likely from the sun he got from his time in Brazil. I moved my attention to the rest of his body. The way his muscles stretched as his grip adjusted around me. I smirked as a thought crossed my mind.

I slowly stretched out my hand and playfully smacked his butt.

"Ah! Hey!!!" Hinata's eyes flew open and he jerked up.

I burst into a fit of giggles. His face was red and he was glaring at me.

"Haha I'm sorry!" I snickered, "I couldn't help it!"

"You're gonna pay for that!" he grunted.

"Ohhh so scaryyy.." I teased.

He playfully growled, pulled me to rest beneath him, and pinned my hands behind my head.

"S-Shoyo..." I gasped.

He smiled devilishly and started nibbling on my collarbone.

"H-Hey..." I whimpered while feeling Hinata suckling.

"Shhhh.." Hinata cooed, "Let me show you how much I missed you.."

I blushed profusely as I felt his hands snake across my body and his kisses trail across my neck, shoulders moving eventually to my waist. I knew what his game was. Hinata may not appear to others as a dominant personality, but, I knew him better. Shoyo Hinata could be an absolute hell-spawn when things got in his way. This was no different. When he became this way, I couldn't pull away. I could feel my heart drown in his passion, and I didn't mind the slow burn.

Hinata's POV

I couldn't believe what had just unfolded. In less than 24 hours, Vanji and I had reunited after a year, we'd come so close, then, hit a wall. Now, after all the drama, here she was, laying in my bed, stark naked and asleep after my little outburst.

I maneuvered out of bed, careful not to wake her. I grabbed my sweatpants off the floor and slid them on. I wandered over to the master bathroom and gazed in the mirror. There were hickeys across my shoulder and along the nape of my neck. I turned and traced my fingers over the slight sting across my hips. Small red scratches.

I grinned at her handiwork. I hadn't fully intended for us to hook up like that or that quickly after us just deciding to move slowly towards things. But, after the confession from Vanji about her and Tsukishima, I couldn't help myself. I had to regain that connection, that feeling of knowing she was mine.

I didn't know where this would leave us after the haze of lust settled. But, I, at least, wanted to bask in the glow for as long as I could. When I made my way back into the bedroom, Vanji was snuggling into he pillow I'd been resting on. She looked so cute with her hair a tousled mess, her mouth slightly agape and lightly breathing. Her lips still puffy and cheeks flushed.

I got back into bed side her and pulled her to lay on my chest. She snuggled close and smiled slightly. This was one of the few times Vanji let down her guard, when she seemed the most peaceful. I couldn't let this moment fade. So, despite my gut telling me otherwise, I grabbed my phone off my nightstand and angled my camera and snapped a photo to keep this moment in my heart and memories always.

I looked at my handiwork. The photo showed only mine and Vanji's faces cropped. Her with her sleepy grin and me kissing the top of her forehead. I beamed and held my phone to my heart.

"Please don't let this end.." I sighed, "I can't lose her again."

For a moment, I could've sworn I'd heard the notification for an upload on my phone's social network feed. I shrugged it off and figured it was from one of my public pages. I yawned and decided to nod off few a bit to recharge.
