Chapter Text
It was a hot summer night. The sounds of volleyballs smacking the floor and squeaking court shoes could still be heard even though it was already 10pm.
Kageyama had just walked out of the shower rooms when he saw Hinata running towards him.
“Oi, boke, why are you running?” he asks. Hinata completely ignores him and runs inside the shower. Kageyama noticed that he was extremely sweaty.
‘That idiot probably just finished some extra practice with the others. Wait a damn minute- why didn’t he ask me?’ Kageyama thought. How dare Hinata not ask him to help with his spikes when HE was Hinata’s setter.
The black haired boy walked back to the dorms, his face pulled into a frown.
When he walked into the large but cramped room where his teammates were, he was met with quite the scene.
Daichi and Sugawara were yelling about some card game.
Asahi was close to tears.
Nishinoya and Tanaka were yelling about how ‘their beautiful goddess Kiyoko must be having a nice hot shower’ right now.
Yamaguchi was laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
And Tsukkishima was once again, taking blackmail videos and photos of everyone from various angles.
‘What in the fucking hell is going on? I was only gone for 15 minutes and I come back to see that WW3 has broken out?’ Kageyama smiled, because who wouldn’t when they have peak comedy happening in front of their very eyes every day?
“Oh Kageyama, you’re back. Is Hinata still practicing?” Suga asked, taking notice of Kageyama standing at the door.
“No, I think he’s taking a shower right now,” he replied, as he walked over to his futon and threw his towel on his belongings. He would have to clean that up later.
“Wow, never knew that the King-” Tsukkishima started to say as he smirked.
“Shut it,” Kageyama interrupted, already annoyed.

“Where is Hin-” Suga started to ask when suddenly, Hinata bursted into the room.
‘Quite the entrance,’ they collectively thought.
“HEY GUYS! Sorry I’m very late, Daichi-san, but something happened haha,” Hinata said, rubbing the back of his head.
It was already 11:30 and everyone had decided to turn in for the night. Coincidentally, Kageyama’s futon was right next to Hinata’s.
Everyone had fallen asleep after a few minutes, even Noya was sound asleep. However, Kageyama just couldn’t sleep. No matter how hard he tried, the dumb and cute little tangerine always came to mind.
‘God fucking dammit, why NOW of all times.’ The blue-eyed boy quietly groaned in frustration. He looked over at Hinata and made sure that he was asleep before rolling over to get closer to him.
‘I’m so selfish when it comes to him, dammit. Whatever, I’ll just say that I accidentally rolled over when we were sleeping.’
Suddenly, he booped the tangerine’s nose.
‘So cute,’ he thought as he booped it again.
“Hey dumbass. I really hate you. I hate the way you make me feel. I hate that you’re the one that makes me feel like this all the damn time. And you don’t even realize it. You’re always too hyper to notice. Dammit, I really fucking like you.”
Kageyama was about to continue his mini rant when suddenly, a tiny soft voice whispered, “Me too, bakayama.”
‘Oh shoot, he was awake this whole time?????’
‘Oh shoot, did I say that out loud?????’
Kageyama shot up from the covers, while Hinata slowly sat up and faced him. Just as the smaller opened his mouth to say something, Kageyama shushed him and took him outside the dorm building.

“Okay, YOU were awake THAT WHOLE TIME???”
“And YOU felt that way THE WHOLE TIME???”
The two looked at each other, absolutely bewildered. Neither of them could think of anything to say. Suddenly, Kageyama turned around.
‘Okay, do I confess again or do I tell him to pretend that whatever happened 2 minutes ago never happened? You know what, it probably wasn’t even his actual feelings. Worst case scenario? I get rejected. Haha, rejection...yikes, rejection,' the setter thought to himself.
Kageyama whips back around to see Hinata looking at him with an expression he can’t decipher. He takes a deep breath before mumbling:
“Okay look, I know you heard what I said before, And don’t try to lie about it. I really do mean what I said, if you’re questioning. Yes, I do like you. And it’s honestly fine if you don’t accept my feelings. I understand.”
Hinata couldn’t really make out what Kageyama was saying due to the mumbling, but based on his expression and the little snippets he heard, he concluded that yes, his setter did like him and yes, that he had just confessed.
“I, uh, you, I, I LIKE YOU TOO!” the tangerine blurted out, turning red.
There was a moment of awkward silence. No. Scratch that. There was a long period of awkward silence before both of them started to say something.
“So would you like to be my boyfriend?”
“I don’t know Kageyama, it’s totally not like you just confessed your undying love and affection for me and it’s also totally not like I just accepted and returned your feelings.”
“Give me a proper answer, boke.”
‘Yes Kageyama, I want to be your boyfriend.”
Kageyama let out a small sigh of relief. Who knows how awkward the rest of training camp would be if he got rejected?
The setter was snapped out of his own thoughts when he felt Hinata grab his hand and drag him back into the building to go to sleep.

“I would feel bad if I woke them up,” Suga chuckles as he looks at Kageyama and Hinata.
Hinata was snuggled into Kageyama’s chest, with the setter’s head resting upon his fluffy locks. The two peaceful, both letting out soft snores. Suga thought they looked absolutely adorable.
Surprisingly, Tsukkishima didn’t take blackmail photos
