Hi everyone! So a guest review on the last chapter told me it's a little confusing when I jump from scene to scene, so I'd like to explain. When I write these chapters I copy and paste them and the formatting I use to write doesn't translate very well to FanFiction, specifically the brackets I use to determine new scenes. I'd like to apologize if my work has ever gotten confusing because of that (this same piece is up on AO3 and it doesn't do that on there so I assumed it didn't do that on FF either). I'm going to start adding horizontal lines like I did in this piece where the brackets originally are in my A03 version of this. Thank you so much to the guest who made me aware of that!
Affectionate Kageyama was the best Kageyama, Hinata decided.
Kageyama had Hinata tangled in his arms on a lazy Saturday afternoon while they watched a cheesy romantic comedy. Hinata's hand was resting over Kageyama's, which was loosely holding Hinata's hip. There was a blanket that had been wrapped around them, but their bodies produced enough heat that it'd been kicked aside within the first scene of the movie. A bowl of Skittles sat on the table next to Kageyama (Hinata's favorite) and Hinata began wondering if this is what Kageyama did for a one month anniversary, what he would do for a six month, or a year anniversary.
He began to wonder if they'd even last that long.
Kageyama still hadn't even been to Hinata's house, though he'd met Natsu when they ran into each other at a volleyball league for younger kids (long story short, Kageyama wanted to pick out which one would be the best setter and who he'd train to be a prodigy). Neither of them were very keen on coming out, especially with Hinata's home life. To make matters worse, the team was getting suspicious.
Hinata sat up abruptly, almost knocking the bowl of Skittles out of Kageyama's hands. "Dumbass," Kageyama muttered. "What's wrong?"
"I want you to come over," he blurted.
"Okay," Kageyama replied coolly. He tried to hide the fact that he was internally panicking. Like, a lot.
"Okay?" Hinata was surprised by his calm nature. Evidently Kageyama had done a good job hiding his fear.
"I said okay," Kageyama kissed Hinata's forehead gently. "I've been meaning to talk with you about that, actually."
"About what?" Hinata was curious now. He sat up completely, and Kageyama followed suit. The two sat facing each other, Kageyama holding Hinata's hands.
"We've been dating for a month now," Kageyama murmured sheepishly. "Shouldn't we...you know...tell someone?"
"I mean, I guess," Hinata shrugged. "What have you been telling your mom?"
"That you're my best friend," Kageyama replied simply. "She kind of pities me because I haven't had friends for very much of my life. She loves you, you know."
Hinata beamed. "She does?!"
"I mean, when you stay for dinner you and her do the dishes so she only has to do half the work."
"Don't you ever help her?"
"...Should I?"
"Bakageyama!" Hinata scolded, waving his finger playfully. Kageyama grabbed his hand out of the air, causing Hinata to whine. "Kags, release!"
Kageyama got a slightly devious idea.
"Say my name."
"Huh-"
"Say my name and I'll let you go."
"K-Kageyama-"
"The other one."
Hinata blushed, staring into his partner's eyes. "T-Tobio," he whispered. Kageyama blushed, smiling ever so slightly.
"Louder."
"You said-"
"I know what I said, but now I changed my mind," Kageyama murmured, puffing out his lip into a pout.
"Tobio," Hinata said slightly louder. Kageyama was about to tell Hinata to say his name louder when Hinata pulled his hand free of Kageyama's grip, rubbing it slightly. Kageyama muttered an apology; he hadn't noticed how tightly he had been holding onto Hinata. "You're such a dork," he mumbled, voice slightly deeper than before.
Kageyama smirked ever so slightly. "I guess I am, huh. But I'm your dork."
"Yeah, I guess you are."
Hinata and Kageyama were giving each other side glances during practice all day. Both of them had been struggling to focus all during practice; after all, today was the day they'd agreed to tell Daichi and Suga what was going on between them. Kageyama was especially nervous to stand in front of Daichi and admit he'd been sucking face with his ex-rival.
When practice was over, Hinata asked Suga if he could talk to him and Daichi. The plan was that Hinata would begin the conversation and Kageyama would "randomly" walk in, claiming he forgot his water bottle or his shoes or something of the like.
Hinata may have neglected to tell Kageyama that their senpai already knew about Hinata being gay.
The gym cleared and Suga gave Hinata a warm smile. "So, Hinata, what is it that you want to talk to us about?"
"Remember a couple months ago when-"
"You got together with Kageyama finally?" Daichi cut him off.
"Yeah! Oh, but he doesn't know you guys know and he's supposed to be walking in any minute to-" Hinata was cut off again by Kageyama knocking on the gym door.
"F-forgot my water b-bottle," he muttered, obviously scripted. Daichi clicked his tongue softly.
"You need some acting lessons, Kageyama."
"A-anyways, what were you guys talking about?" Kageyama joined Hinata's side, making sure not to stand too close.
"How you two are together," Suga replied simply.
"H-huh?!" Kageyama gulped. "I thought we were waiting until I was here to tell them-"
"They already knew," Hinata giggled. He slipped his hand into Kageyama's and immediately his partner's furrowed brow softened.
"Well...is it okay?" Kageyama asked nervously, squeezing Hinata's hand for comfort.
"Why wouldn't it be?" Suga grinned. "There's only one rule, though, if you're going to be dating."
"What is it?" the two said in unison.
"No sex in the club room," Daichi said unnaturally seriously. "Storage room is only off limits if you don't have a key," he added with a wink.
Both first years turned red in embarrassment. "We-I-oh god-" Kageyama looked down at his shoes in embarrassment. Finally he composed himself enough to mumble a strained "yes sir" as he and Hinata turned and ran for the door.
The run turned into a sprint back to Kageyama's house, until they got to the cross where Hinata used to walk home. He looked to Kageyama expectantly, who just took his hand and continued towards his house. Hinata didn't object.
Kageyama walked up to the front door and unlocked it, with Hinata right behind him. "W-what do you think Daichi senpai m-meant by...you know..."
"I-I don't know!" Hinata's voice squeaked.
The two pondered it together while they walked into the kitchen. Kageyama had let go of Hinata's hand on the way up to his house, and he was glad he did, because somehow he had neglected to notice the extra car in the driveway.
Sitting at the kitchen table, across from Kageyama's mother, was a woman who looked all too familiar. He glanced at Hinata, who was pale as a sheet, then back to the woman.
Hinata gulped. "Mom?"
