Chapter Text
Suga sighed as he looked up toward the sky. ‘ This is kinda boring…’ the teen thought as he stared at the constellations.
So far, all Suga as seen on this journey is just water and sky. In his head he pictured seeing fascinating sights, bright colors, and maybe even other witches. But no, he had just had pick the worst direction to go in
“If you keep making that face you're going to pop a blood vessel” kuroo said as he studied the ocean below.
“That’ll be more entertaining than what we’re doing now” Suga mumbled as he switched his attention to his radio which grew more and more staticy by the minute. “I think we’re getting too far away from home, the radio isn’t picking up the signals very well. ”
The midnight sky illuminated everything it could touch, the full moon shining brightly. Kuroo noticed dark clouds creeping in, but decided to ignore it. The weatherman said that it wasn’t supposed to rain anyway.
Suga kept fumbling with his radio, occasionally losing control of the broom, resulting in it swerving. Finally the two found a station the radio could pick up
“Dang, this song’s kinda ass” Kuroo said as he tried to snuggle into Suga’s bag. The night air was chilly, making the poor cat freeze down to his bones.
Just as Suga was about to reply, a gust of wind caught him off guard. His broom flew back a good foot as Suga raised an arm to cover his eyes.
“What the-”
Suddenly, a figure popped up from seemingly nowhere. “Do you mind turning that music down” A boy about a year or two younger than Suga said. Quickly, Suga removed his hand and caught sight of the witch. This boy had jet black hair, blue eyes, and was riding a rather nice looking broom. He had a black bag hanging off the side of his broom, and Suga could see a little orange head peeking out from the inside. The boy caught Suga’s gaze
“That’s my cat Hinata. Sorry if we startled you.” The boys said “sometimes I lose track of how fast I fly, resulting in gusts of wind”
There was an awkward energy in hanging in the air. Suga just stared at the boy, ecstatic that another person was here to experience his boredom with him.
The boy looked over at Suga. “Well… are you going to turn that down” he said while pointing to the little radio.
Oh shit, Suga forgot about that. He quickled fumbled for it and clicked it off. When he was done, Suga sported a wide grin on his face. Finally, someone to talk to! Maybe this trip is starting to look up. “No worries! The names Suga, what’s yours?”
“Kageyama” the boy said in a flat tone
Suga waited for the boy to continue, but realized that’s all he was going to get from him. Maybe he was just nervous about talking to another witch? He probably didn’t mean to come off standoffish, right? Suga decided to give him the benefit of the doubt
“So… what brings you here?” Suga asked.
The boy seemed kind of annoyed “I just finished my year away from home. I was the best in my family so they let me go a few years before I turned 16. I excel in almost everything a witch is supposed to do. By the looks of it” Kageyama looked Suga up and down “You’re just starting right?”
Suga’s eyes widened and he heard Kuroo try to stifle and laugh through the fabric of his bag. He reached around a lightly hit it to make the annoying cat shut up. Suga looked back at Kageyama, who now looked straight ahead, seeming bored
So much for wanting to see another witch around
“Haha, I’m not sure what you mean…” Suga tried to play the youngers insult off.
“What I mean is you look very unprepared. You definitely didn’t pack enough, you're blaring that childish music, and your broom looks old. Is it a hand me down?”
Suga sat there, mouth wide open. Was… was this guy for real? He couldn’t believe this random stranger was being so rude for no reason.
Suga never had a problem making friends. Even when he was a kid, he drew people in with his bubble personality. And as he grew up, so did his charm. So to say that Suga was surprised that this “Kageyama” person was so outwardly rude towards would be an understatement. Suga was just trying to make conversation, not be a complete dick. But if it’s the dick card this bastard wants to play, then the dick card it is.
“I find it kind of funny-” Just as Suga was about to roast the life out of that poor boy, Kageyama turned and made eye contact with the older teen
“Actually this is my stop,” he said as he pointed toward a town in the distance “I wish you the best of luck on your journey”. And with that, the boy was gone, leaving behind another huge gust of wind
This time suga didn’t flinch. He just looked at the spot the “witch prodigy” used to be. The clouds in the sky grew darker along with Suga’s mood. He really didn’t like that kid, the younger boy thought he was better than him. Even if he was, Suga would work hard and prove that he is infact better than that stupid Kageyama. After a few beats of silence, Kuroo came out of Suga’s bag laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes, the sounds of his cackles ringing out into the open air
“Did you just let like, a 13 year old kid insult you like that” Kuroo wheezed “that’s the first time ever I’ve seen you so speechless.”
“Shut up Kuroo, I can still drop you in the ocean” Suga pouted and looked straight ahead. Kuroo hopped on Suga’s shoulder “wait wait wait, one more joke please”
Suga hestatied. He wasn’t in the mood for his ego to be hurt anymore “...fine”
“Okay, give me a second” Kuroo tried collecting himself a tiny bit “Why- Why were you so silent back there? Did a CAT get your tongue” And just like that, Kuroo was laughing his head off again.
Meanwhile, Suga was shocked to find out how stupid his cat was. He could have at least made that joke just a tiny bit more funny. “I hope you're happy you got that out of your system” Suga said. Despite his tone, he had a smile on his face. What can he say, sometimes he is so unbelievably stupid, but he loves his cat.
Suddenly, Suga felt something wet land on his shoulder “please don’t tell me you’re actually crying over that joke Kuroo” He said jokingly. But then, another drop fell down. Then another, and another. Soon it was pouring rain.
Kuroo meowed in agony as he rushed back into Suga’s bag. “Shit shit shit shit shit” Suga cursed as he tried to navigate through this horrible weather
Just then, he looked below and found a train rumbling along its tracks. Quickly, he swooped down and started flying next to it. He started trying to open every window he could see, but to no avail, none of them would open. At his very last attempt to open one of the dingy windows, it finally cracked just enough to shove his way inside.
With a oof , Suga landed on what felt like an itchy pillow. Looking around quickly he found that he landed in a big pile of hay. Kuroo came out of the bag and began drying himself as Suga slammed the window shut
“Stupid weatherman. He said it wasn’t supposed to rain! He had one job, just one! But he screwed it up! Do you know how stressful it is being a wet cat, Suga? Do you? Because I don’t think you do” Kuroo ranted and he shook the water of him
“Yeah yeah, being a wet cat is bad, blah blah blah.” Now that suga was laying down, he realized just how tired he was. Who knew flying could take so much energy out of you
In a final spurt of life, Suga tugged off his soaking dress, leaving him in his boxers; he then threw his broom to the side, disregarding it for the rest of the evening. He pulled the hay over him like it was a cover. Sure, it wasn’t the most comfortable, but it was something.
And with Kuroo blabbering on as background noise, suga began lulling into what he could was going to be a deep sleep.His last thoughts were filled with dreaming about what the future is going to hold
——-
Suga wakes to something ticking his toes. In his groggy half asleep state, it kinda felt nice. But soon, the feeling became uncomfortable, and the more he woke up the more he wondered what the heck was tickling him.At first he tried to ignore it, but soon the perpetrator bit his foot, and it became impossible to ignore the pain. With a new found state of consciousness, Suga yanked his foot up. His eyes shot open and his body jolted into a sitting position.
Quickly he looked around and saw the hole where his foot used to be. He peered down and saw the colporate.
It was… a cow?
Soon it dawned on him. He was in a cattle car. More specifically, he was in the cattle’s breakfast. He sat back and turned to find Kuroo. The said cat was curled up next to where Suga’s head used to be. Without wasting any time, Suga woke up the cat and began getting ready.
“Get up Kuroo. I don’t think these animals like that we are sitting in their meal” Kuroo stretched out a yawned. He seemed confused at Suga’s statements until a cow pulled the hay right from under Kuroo.
Suga laughed as he caught the startled cat and placed him gently next to him. He grabbed his now dried purple dress and threw it on.
“Do we have to go Suga? I’m so tired” Kuroo whined as Suga began prying the window open again.
“That’s easy for you to say, you get to sleep while I have to fly us everywhere. You’re such a fat ass” Suga said. There was a loud thunk as he was finally able to get the window open “Besides, if the cows are mad at us for being here, imagine how angry the owner of this car would be if they found us. We gotta blast, and fast” Suga giggled to himself. “I rhymed! Call me Eminem”
“Hey, maybe when we finally get to a town we like you can make a SoundCloud.” Kuroo joked around while he stuck his head out the now opened window. The bright morning sun shone down on his silky black fur that was messy from sleep. It seemed like the weather cleared up a fair deal, the air smelling like fresh dew
Suga chuckled “At least we would be able to make some money that way. I think I can spit enough bars” He shuffled his way over to where he tossed his broom, picking it up and dusting off the leftover hay.
“Whatever makes you sleep better at night Suga. But hey, looks like the weathers cleared up.” Kuroo said he brought his head back into the cart. Suga pushed him aside and stuck his own head out. And just like his cat had said, the weather was perfect.
“Oh thank the gods. I would fucking hate my life if I had to fly in rain again. But I just have one question… how are we going to get out of the window?” Suga asked. Now that he looked at the small entrance, how the hell did they fit in last night? This was going to be a pain, Suga just knew it
And just like always, Suga was right. After about 10 tries, Suga managed to squeeze not only him and Kuroo, but his oversized bag through the tiny window. Immediately they started falling toward the ground. Just like the night before, Suga was having trouble making his broom start to fly. Panic took over and Kuroo started screaming in fear.
Suga gripped the handle tight as he tried to get it to take flight. He tried to remember what made him take off last night, but in his panicked state, his mind remained blank. His radio was jiggling all around and hitting suga all over his arms.
“The hell are you doing suga?!?” Kuroo screamed from the bag that was now falling mid air. “I’ve already spent 5 of my lives, I can’t afford to lose another!”
“I’m doing my best!!” Suga yelled back. The bright green grass looked more inviting as the seconds grew on, the ground becoming closer and closer. Finally, just as Suga felt the tips of the green blades touch his skin, the broom shot up into the air.
Both males let out a heavy breath. Suga’s hair was now toseled from the wind, cheeks red from the sheer force he had to use to get the broom into the air.
“Maybe I need to practice flying my broom a bit more. What do you say Kuroo?” Suga panted
“Y-yeah, m-maybe”
The duo tried to calm themselves down by looking at the amazing scenery before them.
“Wow” Suga said breathless, partly from the scary experience they just went through, and the other part from the beauty in front of them
The ocean stood proud and tall, reflecting the light of the sun in almost a blinding way. There were hills of green grass, and a bridge going across the water toward a large city. Birds flew across the sky, singing songs that only they can understand.
The town had high buildings, one of which being a clock tower. The bricks had a rustic vibe to them, and the town was popping with vibrant pastels. Suga could see little shops from where he sat high in the sky. The ocean surrounded the town, and had a little beach toward the west coast.
Without any further information, Suga fell in love
“So, are you just going to make gogo eyes or are you going to fly down and see the city” Kuroo asked as he also looked around the town.
“If you insist” Suga said right before he made his broom plunge straight down, heading directly for the town.
And just like that, suga was about to start his new life for the next year
