The sky was bright, but not too bright to make people squint when they look up. Clouds overlapped each other, overshadowing the sun. The morning breeze felt comfortable as they took a stroll.

Kageyama silently watched his son laugh and chat with the other children. His finally saw his baby getting the courage to approach others. He probably strived for a new start like himself.
A single tear escaped from his right eye. He sniffed, trying to regain composure.

"Um?" Hinata tilted his head and gave out a weird expression. Kageyama stayed quiet.

"Are you perhaps... ... the overly attached type of parent?" The orange haired caretaker cocked an eyebrow.

"What, no! I'm just relieved that Tooru has many friends now," Kageyama rubbed his eyes.

Hinata just hummed as a response. He averted his gaze towards the bushes nearby. He was trying to convince himself that Kageyama was not cute.

Do not stare at him. Do not stare at him. Do not-

"What are you staring at, dumbass?" His nose and cheeks were rosy.

"It's nothing, dumbass!" He huffed. He silently cursed at his pulse that wouldn't stop quickening. They walked side by side, Hinata whistling to fill in the awkward silence.

Moments later, they noticed that the children were all huddling around their
other caretaker.

"Noya-niisan, can you buy us ice-cream?" Tooru pulled the hem of the said person's shirt.

"Yeah, Noya-nii pleaseee," the rest of them except Kei shouted in unison.

Nishinoya's eyes widen. He was adressed as 'Mr. Shorty' almost all the time. That was a first. The tittle 'niisan' made confetti shower in his heart. Suddenly he got the feeling that he saw halos above their heads.

"Oh my god of course! Nii-san will buy two ice-creams for each of you. Ice-cream man!"

"Noya, no! One is enough or they're going to get stomachaches," Hinata yelled from a distance.

Nishinoya regretted that decision. His brain spun from all the children chanting their desired flavours at different tempos tossed from different sources. The way the children pulled and clung to his limbs, begging for his attention to differ towards them first made the situation worse.

"Oh god this is getting really out of hand. Everyone's getting Gari-Gari-kun alright?" He raised his hands in the air, defeated.

"I'm getting strawberry though," a blonde voiced out while adjusting his glasses.

"...and Kei gets strawberry."

Everyone nodded in unison. The flavour doesn't matter anyway if they're getting ice-cream, especially during the daytime where the cool ice soothes dry throats (Kei loves strawberry too much to agree with that)

The rest of the day went on and Kageyama found out that Natsu was a very talented singer and guitar player, totally fit to be a music teacher. Nishinoya was not bad at teaching either, he had a really nice handwriting unlike Kageyama's worm like words.

Hinata was still a lousy person in his eyes, but he had to admit that he was totally capable of handling people.

It was time to go home and Tooru was the last child to leave due to his father. Kageyama wanted to stay a little longer to observe the parents of the other children. He found out that most of the parents were gay, and some single too.
-

The sky had only one tone of grey, the hue that was not too dark yet not too light too. It was rather bright and clear. Droplets fell from the sky sedately.

Kageyama extended out a hand, feeling raindrops in his palm. A strong breeze pushed his hair back and forth, sending chills down his spine from exposing his bare neck to the chill temperature.

"It's drizzling a bit, so I'll go and get the car first. Tooru, wait here okay?" He took a step out of shelter.

It rained pitchforks and hammerheads.

He look up the sky, defeated. His fingers were balled into a fist.

"Hahahaha! Daddy got drenched as soon as he got out!" Juvenile cackling could be heard. The person beside Tooru joined his giggling fit.

"I wanna joiiinnn!"

Before he could react, he felt water wick away every bit of heat in him. The surprise from the sudden splash made him feel rather refreshed though.

"Tooru! What if you catch a cold?!" the first thing that hit him was that his son was under the rain, not protected by an umbrella.

"Heh, he's a very strong boy, and it's not like there's any lightning or thunder now. He will be fine," Hinata who was then also under the downpour voiced out.

Seeing his son already soaking wet, he sighed. "Okay, just this once."

"Alright then, who kicked water towards me?" A dangerous aura surrounded him. His gaze made the other two feel jeopardy.

He noticed that they had many pails outside to store rainwater to be used for cleaning. There was a few of them already overflowing the buckets. An idea sprouted.

"Take that!" He laughed.

"Hey! why am I the victim?!" The other man jolted up while waving his hands in the air, cold.

Kageyama just laughed louder in response. Hinata realized that he actually looked extremely charming when happy. The little hints of dimples. The sharp curve of his jawline. The muscular built of him that could be seen from having his clothes soaked with water. Those made him stare hard even though he knew he looked very obvious.

"Both of you look so silly~" Tooru grinned.

"Hey, how could you say thaat," Hinata chuckled and lifted him up.

The child's father observed that duo. They somehow looked good together. Kageyama realized that he actually looked extremely alluring when not that brash. The brightness of his teeth when he smiled. The way his hair lost it's fluffiness from having the rain push them down. The amber of his hair that still glows even when soaking wet. He had to change his attention to elsewhere as it would be improper to stare so long. Lies. He did not want to get attached.

"What are you doing? Join us!" Hinata pulled him by his hand, grip strong. He did show any intention of letting it go. His other hand was linked to Tooru. They just spun around in their tiny circle, sung children songs related to rain and had fun.

The more it rained, the more crazy they got together.

When it rains, it pours- figuratively and literally.

It was not a bad thing.
