Hinata's crush on Kageyama is subtle. Nobody knows about it.
Sure, others like Sugawara may have a hunch, but nobody knows for sure.
There's no blushing involved when they touch, no accidental hand-touching before quickly pulling away, and surely no romantic atmosphere when they walk home together after practise.
Hinata hasn't made any romantic advances towards Kageyama either. He's had urges, but has never followed through.
The urges happen at random times when they're together. They happen when Kageyama leans in to tell him something and Hinata has the urge to tackle him into a hug. They happen when they're sitting close and sometimes Hinata will want to hold the other's hands. They happen when Hinata spikes a winning toss and he thinks about kissing Kageyama right there on the court.
His crush is subtle, well was, until now.
Hinata Shouyou, first year at Karasuno High, middle blocker of the school's volleyball team, and overall a great guy, accidentally blurts out that he thinks Kageyama is super attractive after practise at 5:54pm on a Tuesday when they're walking home together.
Kageyama has his mouth full of pork bun and even so, with his head tilted to the side in confusion but a light blush gracing his cheeks, he still looks super attractive.
The dark haired boy swallows the food in his mouth before casually replying, "You too."
Unbeknownst to Hinata, Kageyama also has a subtle crush on him.
But they'll find out soon enough.
