Kage's sleep was interrupted by a loud knocking sound. He couldn't tell what it was for a few seconds before snapping and realizing it was coming from the front door. He rushed down to go see who could be waking him up at midnight. His parents were heavy sleepers, so he figured that this wouldn't wake them. As he approached the door, he could hear something rather unfamiliar emanating from behind the door. He opened the door to see the face of a sobbing, broken boy. It was Hinata; he was completely flushed with tears streaming down his face. He looked like he had be crying for hours. He tried to speak but his words were broken up by his sniffling.

"Kage… I know it is late but…. can I stay here…?"

"S-sure…" Kageyama stammered out in a state of confusion.

As Hinata walked through the door and into Kage's arms, Kage lead him to sit at the table.

"What happened?" Kage asked, concerned.

"I don't know, I was talking to mom about today and… I mentioned I was dating you and she just… started yelling at me. She told me to leave, that I wasn't welcome in the house."

"She kicked you out for dating me…?"

"Yea, I just don't know what to do… I mean I want to stay with you, but… I don't think I can go home…"

"You can stay here for tonight, we will get this all sorted out."

As Kage got up to get himself a drink, he walked past Hinata who latched on to him, burying his head in Kage's side.

"Th-Thank you…"

Kage could say nothing and just pulled Hinata up to embrace him. He could feel Hinata crying into his shoulder, and this made him almost cry. When they broke off, Kage motioned them to sit on the couch.

"You want to watch a movie? It might make you feel better." Kage asked.

"I would like that…" Hinata said while his sobbing was starting to subside.

"Well, pick a movie off the shelf and we will watch it." Kage replied while pointing to the small shelf next to the T.V. containing several rows of movies.

As Hinata scanned the movie shelf, Kage began to wonder what he would tell his parents if they woke up and found them. His thoughts were interrupted by Hinata picking out a movie.

"You guys have a copy of the original Godzilla movie?" Hinata asked.

"Yea my dad is really into Godzilla, the first one is his favorite."

As Hinata put the movie in, he joined Kage on the couch. As the movie started Hinata cuddled up against Kage, watching the T.V. diligently. Kage figured this was the only way Hinata could distract himself from the tonights events. As the movie continued, one question plagued Kage's mind. "Should we stay together?" He really wanted to stay with Hinata, but he didn't want their relationship to cost Hinata his relationship with his mother. Kage wanted to ask Hinata this but didn't want to remind him of his disownment. As he looked down at Hinata, who by this point was completely engrossed in the movie, the sight of his boyfriend relaxed comforted him. Kageyama was willing to do anything in order to keep Hinata at ease. The possibility of their relationship ending made him a bit depressed and Hinata noticed.

"What's wrong?" Hinata asked with a genuine look of concern.

"I have been thinking...I don't want our relationship to make things difficult between you and your mother." Kage replied crestfallen.

"Kage… I really like you, I… love you, and I am not going to let my mom stand in the way of that." Hinata said triumphantly.

Kage felt very reassured hearing this.

"But what are you going to do about the rest of your family? What about your little sibling, and your dad?" Kage asked

Looking down, Hinata just shrugged. It was clear this problems were going to take longer than one night to figure out. Then a thought occurred to Kage.

"Wait, what about your dad? Didn't he say anything, or try and stop your mom?"

"He didn't...say anything. He just looked down and did nothing…" Hinata answered.

"Did your mom ever hint that she didn't like gay people?"

"No, she was always very kind. I don't understand where this all came from. All I said was that I had a boyfriend and she just exploded."

"Her anger must come from somewhere. She has to have a reason not to like gay people."

"I really don't know."

As Hinata said this, Kage could see tears starting to form in Hinatas eyes and hugged him tighter.

"I just...don't understand…" Hinata stammered through his returning sobs.

"Don't worry about it for now, we will figure this all out in later. For now, you need to relax." Kage replied, trying to be soothing.

"Yea…"

Kage got up to get himself and Hinata another drink. He was unsure of how comforting he really was, and even less sure about what he could do to help Hinata. As he was returning with two drinks, he considered Hinata moving in with him. When Kage sat back down, Hinata immediately wrapped himself around Kage. He could feel Hinata crying into his chest.

"Th-Thank you…" Hinata mumbled, barely audible to even Kage.

Kage put his arms around Hinata, and buried his head into Hinata's messy orange hair.

"You're welcome."

Kage could feel Hinata relaxing underneath him, and his sobbing dying down. Kage was very comfortable in this position and thought about falling asleep like this. He was getting very tired, and he figured Hinata was as well. As they lay together, Kage heard Hinata murmur, "I love you."

Kage could help but say, "I love you, too."

Kage knew that they both would have to face many hardships in their relationship, but as long as they were together, they were invincible. Kage was feeling the weight of his eyelids increasing slowly as he thought about all the events that led them up to this point, before he was engulfed by the embrace of sleep.
