KAGEYAMA

I can feel my face becoming hot. This Hinata kid is going to be the death of me. Being stuck here with this kid is not ideal. I know he is not going to bother me but he makes me nervous, very nervous. I shake the thoughts away. I pull out my notebook and start to see if I can come up with some more stuff for the team to work on. After a while I decide to take quite shower. I check to make sure the bathroom is no occupied. I am happy with my nice hot shower. I get dressed in my sleeping clothes in the bathroom so I am not having to walk the hall in my towel.

I walk pass Hinata room. I notice that he is on his computer looking at some volleyball games on YouTube. I smirk getting closer to his door. I knock on the frame. He turns around in his chair.

"Hey"

"Hey, I couldn't help but notice you were watching some volleyball" I state.

"Well yeah a little" he responds rubbing the back of his neck. I see myself come into view on the screen. This appears to one of my earlier college games.

"You're watching me?" I ask.

"Yes" he replied a little nervous.

"It's okay if you want to watch me" I reply realizing that sounded a little wrong.

"I just love how you played" he said looking back the screen. "You look so happy here. I mean the way you pass the ball to your team mates. It's like you could read the opponents weakness. Do you think you can get us to that point?"

"Sure" I replied. "It's not going to be easy. I would have to work with Sugawara more on being able to read the game more." I am now standing closer to his computer.

"Kageyama, how come you stopped playing?" I freeze up a little. I don't like revisiting why I stopped playing. Some days I wish I would have just sucked it up but at the same time I just couldn't. "Kageyama! Kageyama!" I blink and see the little red shaking me. "I'm sorry. I am so sorry." I am trying to figure out why he is apologizing but he wraps his small little body around me. He is still apologizing while holding on to me so tightly.

I feel my face becoming hot because I like being held but him but this is highly inappropriate. He is 17 and I am 21. I am much older than him, in this case I must act like an adult. I usually don't even let anyone get this close to me but somehow I let this kid get close. How did this happen? I peel him off of me. "Why are you apologizing?"

"I shouldn't have asked you that" he explained with tears in the corner of his eyes. "I just want to know more about you. Why you left volleyball. I mean you were so good. You are tall and had everything going for you. I don't understand why you stopped!" My eyes widen in surprise because I was not expecting him to say that, all of it. I feel my voice getting caught in my throat.

"Shoyo!" cried Natsu. "You are suppose to be reading me a bedtime story." Hinata looks around me at his sister.

"I'm sorry, I lost track of time."

"I know you did" she smiled.

"Um good night Hinata" I say making my exit. God bless that little girl because I didn't know what to say to Hinata to explain what happened. As much as I love volleyball and he does, no excuse would probably be good enough. I get settled into bed when I hear my phone going off. I see it is Oikawa calling me.

"Tobio-Chan!" he exclaimed. "I have been calling you all afternoon."

"Lair" I state. "I have been away from my phone for no longer than 40 minutes."

"Okay so I called once" he explained. "Are you enjoying the snow?"

"Not really" I replied. "I am trying to get Karasuna ready for the spring tournament and I don't have time for us to be missing any days."

"I thought that was just a rumor. So you are indeed teaching at Karasuna."

"Not teaching but somewhat coaching" I explain. "It's not like I am getting paid for this."

"You should consider it. I love coaching at my old high school" he beams. "This shall be interesting if you think you can take my team." I sit down on my bed.

"I most certainly think they can" I smirked. "Why did you really call me?"

"To be nosy" he replies. "And to maybe to ask for some advice."

"You want to ask me for advice?" I asked curiously. He never ask me for advice unless things are really bad. Oikawa is very smart and very good at reading people. He really shouldn't need my help.

"I think I have strong feelings for someone" he explains. "I have actually never felt like this about anyone."

"Turo" I sigh. "You know I am not good when it comes to this relationship crap. Why are you even coming to me for advice."

"I'm so scared" he whined. "I mean I really like him. He excepts me as I am and he is into the same things as me too. He's a bit quitter but still we get along so well." I run my hand over my face.

"I don't see how this is really a problem" I sigh. "You like him, he likes you, you sound happy."

"I guess you are right" he replies. "Oh they just announced schools are closed tomorrow. I know how I will be taking advantage of my day off." I roll my eyes knowing he is probably talking about this new guy. Oikawa has been out since his first year of college. I honestly was not surprised at all.

"Great well I am going to get some rest so I will talk to you later."

"Sure, don't wait forever to call me!"

"Bye Oikawa"

"Bye Tobio-Chan!" I end the call plugging my phone back up. I cut the lights off getting under the covers. I try to shake off the memory of college, it is still lingering. I finally manage to go to sleep peacefully. I awake in the morning to the house feeling super warm and smelling really good. Hinata mom probably cooked breakfast. She seems to enjoy cooking.

I go to my bag pulling out my clothes for the day. They are gym clothes but clean clothes none the less. I head to the bathroom freshening up. I come down the stairs and peak outside. It has at least stopped snowing but I can tell their streets have not been cleared yet. I head into the kitchen and see that Hinata mother is there.

"Morning" she smiles. "I have some hot tea if you would like any with your breakfast."

"Thank you, I would like that a lot." I see her fixing me a plate. "I can fix my own plate."

"It's perfectly fine, you are a guess in our home." I hear giggles from outside. "Don't mind them. They are out there building a snowman and other fun activities I am sure." I decide I will look in on them later after I am done with breakfast. It was yummy and I enjoyed every single bit. I am still here around lunch time I can only imagine what she will be serving then. I look out the kitchen window into the backyard. They finished the snowman and appeared to be making snow angels. I am single child so I don't know what it is like to have a sibling but it looks like it could be fun.

Hinata comes in from outside sliding his sister's boots off before taking off his own. Natsu spots me and waves.

"You missed all the fun" she smiled.

"Maybe next time" I smile back at her.

"Natsu I am going to fix you some hot coco but I may be going back outside" Hinata explains to her.

"Okay" she replied. "I am tired. What are you going to do?"

"I am hoping giant over there will go over some drills with me."

"Volleyball drills?"

"Yes!" Hinata smiles grabbing two mugs. Natsu smiles before heading to the living room.

"So, you are just going to volunteer me?" I asked.

"I was going to ask" replied Hinata. "I mean I can't stand to lose a day of practice. I can learn so much from you. Will you go over some stuff with me, please?" His eyes look all big and super pleading.

"Sure" I replied. "Let me grab my coat and shoes." I waited for Hinata to give Natsu her coco before we head outside. He has his volleyball in hand and it ready to play. I remember what I wrote down in my notebook. I am hoping he will take the advice I gave him yesterday and actually listen to me. I look at him as his smile disappears and the fierce face appears.
