Their relationship was ever changing, and this meant it never was normal. They evolved from enemies to teammates, from rivals to friends, and finally to lovers. Hinata didn't have any problems with adapting to the different roles it pushed on him. All but one.
It was awkward being alone with Kageyama after the two of them got together. He didn't know what to say, how to act, his usually bright and open personality giving way to shy uncertainty. Hinata glanced at his boyfriend from the corner of his eye. As always, the other seemed unbothered by any of the things that clouded over his own mind.
Sighing quietly, he looked away. They've been walking home together for the past few days, but there was always something to talk about: classes, practice, rivals, the ways to improve their plays. Yet this was the first time they walked in complete silence, which made Hinata fidget in uneasiness.
'What are you acting all shy for?' Kageyama's voice nearly made him jump.
'I'm not!' he denied quickly. Too quickly.
A small blush crawled onto his cheeks at his boyfriend's pointed look. Kageyama's lips quirking into a smirk clearly showed what he thought about it, and Hinata pouted at the victorious edge in it, taking his eyes off of the offending view. All thoughts of shyness disappeared from his mind, slight irritation taking its place.
That was until his hand was grasped by a slightly colder one, firmly yet gently. The blush he felt earlier returned with full force, turning even his ears a light pinkish hue. This seemingly innocent gesture meant more to him than he would ever admit. It showed him that Kageyama indeed did notice his uneasiness and wanted to help. The subtle way he tried to convey his feelings made Hinata smile softly.
He stepped closer to Kageyama, intertwining their fingers and squeezing lightly to show that the message got across to him. It was always like this with Kageyama, he didn't talk much, didn't do well with expressing his feelings, but whenever Hinata needed it, he simply was there to hold his hand. And it was all that mattered.
