To Hinata it seemed as if it was only yesterday that his heart shook at the strength and pure determination in Kageyama's voice that day during the 3-on-3 they played soon after joining the Karasuno team. Every time he prepared for a spike, even after they finished high school, even after he was scouted by one of the pro teams, every time he jumped, he heard his voice, loud and clear, as if Kageyama was right beside him.

Believe in me and jump!

It was this, as much as the joy coming from playing and getting points, that made him smile in the air, giving him the confidence he needed. Even though Kageyama played for a different team, now that they both were competing in the pro circuits, just seeing him in the stands was enough to bring back the memories of their high school days. He was sentimental, he knew that, but he didn't expect Kageyama to remember something from so many years ago.

Which is why, he stared at his boyfriend of 5 years in complete shock. He came home from excruciatingly exhausting training camp to find their apartment smelling of fresh flowers - he didn't know what kind, he never really cared for flowers – wine and food. He was dead tired, half of the things slipping past his sleep-deprived mind throughout the dinner, but then Kageyama was kneeling right before him and Hinata was ready to swear he fell asleep in the bus home and this was all just a dream.

'What are you doing, Tobio?' he asked, subtly pinching his arm under the table. It hurt.

Kageyama fished a small black box out of one of his pockets and only after he opened it, did he look Hinata in the eye. His whole demeanour was serious, the 'we're going to win this match at all costs' kind of serious.

'Will you marry me?'

Hinata stared at him. Long, and hard. His mind was spinning, he was sure this was all because of his sleep deprivation, there was no other option. After the silence started to ring in his own ears, he looked at the ring, trying to think. But he couldn't, he wanted to laugh out loud when he saw the childish plastic ring, with a crow in flight engraved in it. For all that Kageyama played the cool guy, he was as much a helpless romantic, as Hinata himself.

'Do you remember what you told me back in high school?' he asked, looking back at his kneeling boyfriend. 'In that 3-on-3 we played to get into the club?'

There was a slight frown on Kageyama's face, 'I told you many things back then, but I think I know what you mean. Was it believe in me-'

'-and jump!' Hinata finished, doing exactly that.

He jumped Kageyama, knocking the box out of his hand and grinning like a lunatic, as he hugged his surprised boyfriend. He leaned close and whispered into his ear the answer he wanted to scream for all the world to hear 'Yes, I will marry you'.

WHO'S CRYING ABOUT THE ANIME ENDING? ME YES VERY MUCH ME *curls into a ball and starts sobbing*
