HINATA
I am excited but nervous about this dinner at Oikawa. I have only ever seen the guy on TV, in magazines and from across the court when we had to play the school he did work for. Now I will actually be meeting him face to face. I am still upset at the fact Kindaichi broke his promise. He told Kageyama he didn't tell anyone else but who knows if turnip is even telling the truth. He did lie the first time around after all.
"Are you sure we shouldn't have dressed up?" I asked Kageyama would is beside me. He just rang the door bell.
"It's just lunch with Oikawa, we are fine," he replied. Oikawa opened the door and was all smiles.
"Hello!" he greeted. "Welcome, welcome! Come on in here." We stepped inside taking off our jackets and shoes. I follow behind Kageyama and Oikawa.
"How was your day today so far?" he asked.
"We won yesterday," replied Kageyama. "I took the team out for a reward last night so I am still pretty tired from that."
"Can't hang up anymore old man," joked Oikawa.
"Whatever," laughed Kageyama. "Oikawa this is Hinata Shoyou and Hinata this is Oikawa Toru."
"Hi," I smiled. He reaches out to shake my hand. "You're so tall." Oikawa starts laughing.
"Oh you flatter me, I am not that tall," he replied stopping at the living room. "Did you all want to chat for a moment while we wait for Iwaizumi to return? He went to go pick up the food because I got lazy this morning."
"You invite us over to lunch when we could have just gone out?" asked Kageyama sitting on the sofa. I plop down next him.
"I was busy this morning," he explained crossing his legs. "I used more energy than I thought." He looks so mischievous when he said that. "Tea?"
"No thank you," I replied. Kageyama shook his head no.
"So, how long have you two been dating?" he asked. I am not sure if I should be answering it or Kageyama. Oikawa looks at me and I figure out that he wants me to respond.
"We have been together for 4 months," I reply.
"Wow, that's it?" stated Oikawa pouring himself some tea. "I thought you guys were together much longer. That is a compliment by the way."
"Thank you," said Kageyama. "What is this great news that you wanted to share?"
"I wanted to wait but I am too excited," he smiled. "I am starting a volleyball training center."
"Wow, your own business," said Kageyama. "How is this going to work? I mean you have received some bad press." Oikawa waves it off.
"I will be behind the operations," he explained. "I actually am looking into staff and a face for the brand I am trying to create." He sips his tea before continuing. "I was hoping the small giant would be the face of my brand."
"Me!" I exclaim.
"Why not?" shrugged Oikawa. "I have Hajime in mind as well as someone else. Still looking into my third personnel but you, you are short and have such sharp skills. You showed and proved that height doesn't matter in this sport but how hard you work. It's perfect."
I have to admit he has a good point. I worked really hard and for a while it seemed like it was all for nothing until I got to Karasuno. I look at Kageyama who is looking at Oikawa.
"How would this work for Hinata?" he asked.
"I would pay him to be on my posters, commercials maybe" he explains. "I am not sure about the commercials as of yet. I need to see how the center will do before investing that kind of money. Hinata in a way would be like how a model signs up for a campaign." I like the sound of this because I really do love volleyball. I would also be getting paid to smile and do what I love. I don't have to change a thing about myself.
"Where is your location at?" asked Kageyama.
"Right on the outside of the city," he replied. "I wanted a locate that would be a good meeting point for the people who live in the city and outside of the city as well. Like how Hinata lived in the country. I would like for anyone to have the chance to come to the center and train. The pricing will be in the form of a contract. Depending on the student skill set they will be placed in certain classes with other people learning at the same level as them."
"That's a great idea," I say speaking up. "In middle school I was the only one who really cared to play the sport as a male. I had to train by myself. If a center like this existed, it would have helped me a great deal." Oikawa nods while smiling.
"You are already great Hinata," he replies. "Imagine what you would have been like had given the chance to train sooner like Kageyama over here. Did he tell you I trained him?"
"No, he didn't," I replied fascinated.
"Sure did," he bragged. "He is not better than me but close enough." I couldn't help but laugh because Kageyama is blushing. We hear the front door open and close.
"Toru" called Iwaizumi. "I could use another set of hands." Oikawa goes to help him without thinking it over. I look at Kageyama who seems to be deep in thought.
"His center is a good idea," he says looking at me.
"I think so too," I agree. "I haven't even seen it and I know I would have loved to have gone there. How much do you think I will get paid to be the face of his brand?"
"We can ask him when he gets back," We can hear Oikawa and Iwaizumi moving about in the kitchen and getting the table set up. Kageyama and I make chit chat about the upcoming games before Oikawa tells us we can eat. My mouth drops when I see the table. Oikawa must have spent a fortune. There is a variety of meats, small sides of sushi, and some meat buns. At least I hope they are meat buns.
"You have outdone yourself," said Kageyama. "There is so much food." Oikawa smiles.
"I just wanted to be prepared," he explains. "Besides this is a celebration! I am starting my own business!"
"Nice to see you again Kageyama," stated Iwaizumi.
"Right, Iwaizumi, this is my boyfriend Hinata Shoyo," I shake his hand as he plainly looks at me.
"I saw your game yesterday," he replied.
"You did?" I asked sitting down at the table.
"I wasn't there in person but it was on YouTube," he replied. "Your team is killing everyone right now."
"We have been working very hard," I note. "We put so much into practicing. Kageyama has even got in on the action."
"Oh really," said Oikawa grabbing some rice and some meats. "I wish I could have been there to see that."
"It was great!" I exclaimed. "I almost got the ball through his arms."
"The only thing you can brag about," stated Kageyama before stuffing his mouth.
"Still competitive as ever I see," said Oikawa. He gets up to go grab something from the kitchen. I am biting into a meat bun and my life feels complete.
"Hinata, put some greens on your plate," said Kageyama adding some green beans to my plate. "We need to keep you healthy."
"I know but meat buns are my weakness," I smiled. "So yummy." I continue eating my pork bun.
"Toru, are you grabbing the wine?" asked Iwaizumi. Oikawa popped back into the room.
"You know me so well," he said. "This is not a celebration without wine. You can all have some."
"I need to drive," said Kageyama.
"Why must you always be the party killer," stated Oikawa. I am laughing to myself because he is so right. I wouldn't say party killer but Kageyama likes to be responsible. "You are drinking a glass or two or else." Kageyama rolls his eyes taking the glass of wine. I happily reach for mine. We are all eating and drinking and having a great time. I have never been around another couple with Kageyama and this is so much fun. Well I am sure the fun is due to the alcohol in his system.
We finally leave after 3 hours and I start to wonder is it wrong to be under aged drunk and it's not even 6. Kageyama is well enough to drive home. The ride home is nice. I am just enjoying looking out the window feeling full and a little bit passed buzzed. Kageyama holds my hand as we walk as if he is afraid I am going to fall. It's not my fault I lost my balance on Oikawa's steps, I am fine. I quickly lose points as I almost slip taking off my shoes.
"You cannot hold your liquor at all," stated Kageyama as he held my waist to keep me study.
"I could if you would let me drink more," I pouted.
"Yeah when you are of age you can drink all you want to," said Kageyama letting me go so he can take off his own shoes. I wonder into the apartment looking around and feeling at peace with things. The alcohol has me hot and I immediately pull off the long sleeve shirt Kageyama forced me to wear. I sigh feeling the cool air on my skin. "Jackass, what you doing? Get undressed in the room at least."
"Whatever," I pouted. I feel so happy right now. I am about to get a business contract, I am playing volleyball for the school Kageyama graduated from and I am going there. I really couldn't ask for anything more. I walk into the bedroom changing out of my clothes. Once I am comfortable I walk back to the living room and Kageyama is already at his desk working. I walk up hug him from behind although he is sitting. I kiss the side of his neck.
"Shoyo, what are you up to?" he asked.
"Nothing, I swear" I smiled into his neck. "I am just so happy. I mean it feels weird to be this happy." Kageyama turns his face towards mine.
"Care to explain a little bit more?" I release him going to lean against his desk beside him. I am facing him so he can see me. I can feel my face grow hot.
"I just love you so much," I whisper. "I don't think I have ever been this happy. It's not just you though it's everything. I mean I feel like things are coming together for me." Kageyama smiles.
"Not many people your age get to say that" he replies. "It's part of the reason I am so hard on you. I want you to be happy and have a bright future." I lean in close to Kageyama and I can sense he is nervous.
"You are my bright future," I say before kissing him. I kiss him hard forcing him to open his mouth to allow my tongue inside. I sit down in his lap straddling him not once breaking the kiss. "Mmmmm," I can feel Kageyama grow hard underneath me.
"I have to work," he said pulling his lips away from mine.
"You can do that later," I whine.
"Wasn't this morning enough?" he asked. I chuckle.
"The time I have with you is never enough," I grinned. Kageyama chuckles before kissing. Yes, life is great.
