HINATA
FOUR MONTHS LATER
"This place looks awesome," says Miya putting the car in park. We just pulled up to the cabin Aisha selected for us to rent for the week. i know this sounds strange but it looks like an actual cabin. The wood has a reddish tint to it. Medium size deep green shutters. The front of the house has a porch with a wide swing on the right side of the deck. Looks like something you would see in the movies.
"I can see why we needed to go in on this," I reply. "Looks expensive." I get out of the passenger side as Miya pops the truck.
"This is going to be great," he exclaims pulling out the two medium size suitcases. There was no need for me to pack a lot.
"I think we are the first here," I reply looking around noting there are no other vehicles. I pull out my phone going to the group chat Aisha created over Discord. He shared the code with all of us not knowing who will arrive first. I grab my bag heading to the front door. I have never seen anything like this before. "Electronic lock."
"That is bad ass," replies Miya as I enter the code. I can hear the door unlocking. Got it on my first attempt.
"Whoa," I say impressed opening the door. I head inside the cabin with Miya behind.
"Holy shit," mutters Miya. The inside is just as nice as the outside. The right is a flight of stairs that takes you to the second floor. Next to the stairs is an entrance to a nice dining table for 12. Tp the left is a huge red u shape sofa with a 75 inch TV above the fire place. There is a side table at each end with a matching coffee table in the center of a dark beige rug. The kitchen is beyond a cute. L shaped with the wood matching the outside. The marble looking countertop and stainless steel appliances make the cabin appear more up to date. In front of the kitchen between the living room is a small breakfast table for 6 people. The decor is really nice and not anything I thought it would be. Not any plaid in sight.
"This is so nice!" I exclaim.
"Let's pick our room!" says Miya grabbing my hand. He pulls me up the stairs leaving our bags behind. I can't help but giggle as we head up the stairs. I am surprised to see there are 5 rooms up here.
"Aisha has the master bedroom," I reply. "He did find the place."
"Everything else is fair gain right?" asks Miya.
"Yup," I reply. Miya is going in and out each room. Most of them look nice. I enter a bathroom that is located in the hall. It's pretty roomy which I am glad to see. It has an earthy relaxed tone to it. A deep dark wood color cabinets with beautiful real looking plants. A square rain shower head. I can't wait to use that!
"I found us a room!" yells Miya. "Come check it out!" I follow Miya's voice heading to the second room from the end of the hall. I walk into the room glad he selected this one. It has a wide seated window. The colors in this room is red beige and white. The bedframe is iron but not tacky looking. We are also close to the bathroom.
"Looks like it should have a fireplace," I reply with my eyes scanning the room.
"I agree," says Miya. "This one has a king bed just like the master bedroom does."
"What size is in the other rooms?" I ask.
"A queen in one," he replies thoughtfully. "Another has 2 full size beds and the last one has two twin beds."
"This is perfect for families," I reply. "Friends in our case." I giggle happily walking to gaze out of the window. The room we have is facing the side yard. Still beautiful as there is lush green grass and full trees.
"Um hm," he hums pulling me into his arms. Miya leans in kissing the back of my neck. I begin to smile not surprised Miya is jumping on me. I did think we would be here a good few hours before he would try to have sex. I turn around kissing Miya. He moans wrapping his arm around my waist. He doesn't part from me as he shifts me towards the bed. I am walking backwards carefully as Miya lips don't leave mine. He backs me up to the bed. I fall down with a flop. I realize the mattress is soft. Feels like memory foam as I sink in just a little.
"Miya…" I whine as he starts kissing my neck sliding his hand under my shirt.
"Come on," he mutters. "We can break this bed in. It's memory foam too. Won't nobody know how good I'm dicking you down." I am actually not in the mood. Sex with Miya hasn't been the same since we became official. I mean it's not terrible but it isn't great either. I haven't had that conversation with him and I kind of don't want to. Sex isn't everything. I'm sure I just need to work on some things and everything will be fine. Not sure why we aren't connecting. I don't feel like forcing myself to do so currently.
"We don't have time right now," I reply.
"You don't know that," he hums. He does have a point. Miya slides his way between my legs pinning my arms above my head firmly. I turn my head exposing my neck. Miya goes back to attacking my throat. Once he realized this was a hot area for me he has begin to use it more often. I remember when it use to be a Kageyama thing….
"Hello?" says Tsukishima echoing. "Who's here?" Miya groans rolling over on his back. I sit up fixing my clothes. I have never been this glad to see Tsukishima. I walk out of the room towards the sound of his voice.
"Hinata and Miya," I say jogging down the stairs. Tsukishima does a small head nod with his hands shoved in his jean pockets.
"All I saw were these suitcases," he says gesturing his head towards Miya and my items.
"Yeah," I reply. "Miya and I was picking out our room."
"I see," he replies. Tsukishima glances around. "This is fancy."
"It really is," I reply following Tsukishima.
"So I will take it no one else is here?" he asks.
"Nope," I reply. "According to Aisha we will need to go to the store for food, water, drinks or whatever."
"Like a timeshare," says Tsukishima walking into the kitchen. He opens the fridge to reveal it is completely empty. He swiftly makes his way to the pantry that does reveal spices for cooking. "Nice. This place seems to have the basics." Tsukishima opens the cabinets revealing plenty of dishes and glasses. I know they have cookware as I plan to cook breakfast once or twice this week. "Have you been out back?"
"Not yet," I reply. He swiftly opens the door taking us out back. We are both stunned. There is a jacuzzi on the deck. Part of the deck is slightly covered while the rest of it is open. The open side contains a picnic bench and a grill. The covered side has the jacuzzi. Beyond the deck is grass before you see nothing but tall lush trees. No fence to separate anything. The grass is so green and thick. Looks like a photo moment. I pull out my phone snapping a picture. Tsukishima walks over to the jacuzzi.
"Asahi outdid himself," he replies.
"He really did," I reply walking over to Tsukishima to observe the jacuzzi. Tsukishima picks up a laminated paper.
"The jacuzzi is cleaned after every visit," he states. "Thank god. I already know some serious fucking went on there." He glances at me. "I trust you won't take things that far."
"Me!" I exclaimed. "Are you picking on me because I am the only one here."
"Not at all," says Tsukishima setting the instructions back down. "I know you get caught up in the moment. Might go with the flow. Literally." He rolls his eyes as I blush. He isn't wrong. I can't help it that my emotions drive me sometimes. We head back into the cabin house hearing the front door open. I lose my breath setting eyes on Kageyama for the first time in 4 months. His hair is different. Reminds me of Daichi as it is slightly parted and off to the side. His hair is noticeably thicker. It is usually flat with little movement. This hair has bounce.
"This is nice," states Akaashi closing the door as Kageyama sets the bags down. Akaashi and Kageyama have yet to look our way. Miya must have grabbed our bags because they are long gone.
"I know Asahi said the place was big but this is massive," says Kageyama. "I think it is more space than we need but better that over it being too small."
"Um hm," says Akaashi grabbing his hand.
"What are you over there thinking about?" asks Kageyama glancing at him. Akaashi is leaning into Kageyama. I watch as Kageyama kisses Akaashi. My whole body tenses watching the scene before me. Tsukishima clears his throat. Akaashi and Kageyama look our way. "Hey, didn't see you there." I don't even know what to say to him. It's like I know him but I don't at the same time.
"I can see that," drones Tsukishima. We begin to walk towards the front of the cabin to greet them. "How was your drive?"
"It was good," replies Akaashi. "We didn't run into much traffic. How is the rooming situation working out?"
"First come, first serve," I reply. "Except the master which is Asahi's since he did the heavy lifting."
"Fair enough," replies Akaashi. "Babe, I'm going to go pick out room." Babe?
"Alright," replies Kageyama. "Let me know which one you like and I will get us set up." Akaashi nods heading up the stairs. Tsukishima looks back and forth between Kageyama and I.
"It's going to be one of these kinds of trip," he says flatly.
"What?" questions Kageyama. "What are you even talking about?"
"Drama," he replies walking to the stairs. "I'm going to select my room as well."
"Drama," I reply. "Everything is fine." Tsukishima shakes head.
"Yeah, okay," he drones. "I'm not going to even bothering explaining to you what I just saw. Later." What did he see exactly? I have many questions running through my brain. Kageyama and I haven't even spoken to each other. Tsukishima disappears upstairs leaving Kageyama and I alone. We both make eye contact. This is crazy. He was my best friend. We talked about everything together and now I don't know what to say to him. I slowly walk towards Kageyama as he does the same meeting me half way. "Hey,"
"Hi," I reply. He clears his throat.
"How are you?" he inquires. I stare at him losing all thoughts. All I can remember is the good times we had together. Working at the bookstore. Moving into the house with Asahi. Cooking us breakfast while he would take care of dinner. I miss him. I have to shift my eyes to even speak. If I keep looking at him I won't be able to focus.
"Good," I reply nodding my head yes. "Mostly study for finals, training for the league. Miya has been helping me with that."
"Oh," says Kageyama in a way that makes me look at him. I can't deny the hurt I see from me mentioning Miya. Why does this make me feel guilty? He is the one who wanted to stop being around me.
"Um, your hair looks nice," I compliment to change the subject. Kageyama smiles genuinely for the first time at me.
"Thank you," he replies. "Keiji has been begging to get his hands on my hair." He slides his hands through his hair making it look like a damn commerical. "He has been doing these deep condition treatments." He quickly grabs my hand playing it in his hair. I am surprised. It is soft. Almost silky. I wouldn't have thought that after seeing it's full appearance. "I have been doing them for a few months. The hair cut on the other hand is new." My hands begin to play in Kageyama hair seeing Akaashi knows what he is doing. I never felt Kageyama hair in this manner. Without his hair in it's normal style I can see more of his face, his eyes…. Kageyama's eyes begin to trace my face before settling on me. I feel this tingle that has me moving to pull my hand away when Kageyama grabs my hand that is in his hair. "Don't stop if you enjoy it."
"Tobio…." I mutter in a tone I haven't heard in months. What the hell is happening. Kageyama leans closer. My breath hitches as I can scent his minty breath he is so close. I want to speak but I don't even know what to say. We shouldn't be this close. Kageyama closes the small gap between us by rubbing his nose against mine causing me to lose my breath. The need I feel blossoming in my chest scares me. I grip his hair as I can feel his breath on my lips. Upon my touch changing Kageyama eyes are begging me to go there.
"Shoyo I was thinking…." Kageyama pulls back quickly as I drop my hand turning towards Miya. I instantly feel embarrassed. This looks bad. I know it does. Act normal because everything is normal. Nothing happened.
"Miya, what's on your mind?" I inquire.
"I figured we could head to the store," he says slowly glaring at us. Kageyama grabs the bags he came inside with.
"Um alright" I reply. "Good idea. We love water around here so we need plenty of that." Kageyama goes towards the stairs as Miya steps down. "Kageyama, you need anything?"
"You know what I like," he replies before glancing at Miya. "Be safe out there." He disappears upstairs. Miya eyes are on Kageyama until he is gone. His head snaps back around to me.
"Are you fucking serious!" he hisses balling up his hands into fists.
"Miya, calm down," I reply. "Akaashi was trying out some treatment on his hair. It's actually pretty soft and…"
"I don't give a fuck about that," snaps Miya. Of course he doesn't. "He was going to kiss you!"
"Kageyama wouldn't do that," I reply. Kageyama is not a cheater. He wouldn't cross that line…..I think….
"Really Shoyo!" he exclaims. "You can't be that fucking stupid!"
"I'm not stupid!" I exclaim becoming upset. The name calling is unnecessary.
"You are," he says gesturing towards me. "How can you act like he is not into you!"
"I didn't say he wasn't," I reply. "I literally moved out of the house to be away from him. To be with you! I legit gave up my best friend for this relationship."
"No you didn't," retorts Miya. "He threw you away and here you are acting like it never happened." My jaw drops as that hurt. Deep down it does feel like Kageyama tossed me aside but I also know that is not true. He is trying to heal. Get over his love for me. That doesn't stop me from feeling like I don't matter in his world anymore.
"Fuck you!" I shout with tears coming to my eyes. I walk away from Miya stepping outside on the front porch. I'm trying not to cry. This was a low blow from Miya. He knows how much this upset me, still upsets me. The tears start falling and I wipe them away staring out into the wilderness beyond the cars. I hate this. All I wanted was to enjoy my time before graduation and tryouts. It has been so damn stressful. So mean for him to be happy about my best friend not talking to me anymore. I never once complained about his occasional chats with Yaku.
