Me and Kageyama walked away from where we had been looking for the others. I'm guessing they were all in their dorms because we couldn't find anyone else. Me and Kageyama decided to go back to his dorm. I felt this weird feeling in my stomach as I walked by Kageyama's side. A tingly feeling, it was a familiar feeling that had been bothering me for a while now.
It was the kind that felt like it could be easily taken away. I breathed in loudly and exhaled stressed. "Hinata, you okay?" He asked looking down at me. "Yeah.." I mumbled. There was a pause.. Just then I saw him coming closer to me, I realized what he was doing and panicked. "STOP!" I shouted pushing him away from me.

Kageyama was trying to kiss me!? "I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I-" He backed away apologizing non stop. "Kageyama, you idiot! What if one of us dies!?" I yelled tearing up knowing what I had been feeling a minute earlier. "I.. I just-" "This can't happen! If one of us dies-" "You said you wouldn't die!" Kageyama yelled. I stayed silent.
Kageyama was back to tears and I was fighting them back down my own throat. "I think I love you." Kageyama muttered through an angry expression of tears. He seemed annoyed by this love but I understood why. Me or Kenma would probably be killed next because of our short physique, it's unbearable to love a dead person I'd assume. "Kageyama.." I mumbled. "I do! I'm not lying! I know why you don't want this, it's not helpful at all in our situation.. Or.. Maybe you just don't like me.. I'm so dumb... I'm sorry." I could barely hear him by the end.
I tried to calm myself down. Looking at his tear filled face was unbearable. I looked away and ran out of the room. He didn't call for me. I didn't look back. I felt horrible but I knew that I'd only hurt him. I ran outside stopping by the force that kept us back from the real world. We still had no idea as to where we were.. We had no way of finding the traitor... We'd most likely die here. I laid on the ground and closed my eyes. Am I giving u-
"Hey." I heard a deep voice speak. I jolted up and looked to the person sitting next to me. "It's just me." Iwaizumi said putting his hands up. "Oh.." I looked down a bit scared. The last time we talked, it was all anger on his end. I had no idea as to what he would want to say so I waited. "Look, I'm sorry for what I said during the class trial." Iwaizumi continued,
"I really thought Oikawa was gone.. And I couldn't lose him. The first people I thought did it were you and Kageyama and I just.. Stuck to it. I'm so sorry for yelling at you.. And... You're not a dumbass." Iwaizumi said with pity filled eyes. "It's fine." I said with a blank expression. I was too focused on other things.
Leaving Kageyama there alone was cruel.
"Are you alright?" Iwaizumi asked noticing my odd behavior. "It's just.." I tried to speak. "Just..?" Iwaizumi wanted me to continue.
"Kageyama tried to kiss me and I ran off and now I feel really guilty because I love him but I don't want to feel sad if he dies and if I die I don't want to hurt him!" I said at lightening speed. I turned to Iwaizumi, his jaw dropped and he started laughing. Just then I realized what I had exposed. "Wa-Wait, you can't tell anyone!" I said feeling my face heat up. "Yeah, yeah sure!" Iwaizumi stopped himself from laughing midway through his sentence. "I don't know what to do now.. How do I face him?" I asked. "First of all, either way it'll hurt losing him and second of all, the pain I felt while believing I had lost Oikawa was so excruciating, the thought that I'd never be able to tell him- I'm just saying it'll hurt more to never get to tell him-" "You love Oikawa?" I tilted my head at the news he had accidentally exposed but wasn't that surprised. "No! It's not like that! I uh.. Uh.. Yeah, no, it actually is like that.." He said with a sigh.
"So, why haven't you told him, ay?" I said nudging him. "Because he hasn't tried to kiss me like Kageyama tried kissing you." Iwaizumi mumbled. "Then you have to be the first one to do something." I said smiling. Iwaizumi seemed embarrassed and got up. "Right.. I'll uhm.. See you tomorrow or later.. Yeah.. Bye." He said running off.
I laughed to myself. I looked up to the sky, the sun was now setting. After a while I heard feet crunch on the grass. By the way they walked I could already tell who it was. "Hey.. Uhm.. Hinata? Is this a bad time?" I heard Kageyama's broken voice. It sounded like he's been crying. I sighed and pulled him down next to me. We sat there looking at each other.
"I'm sorry.. For trying to.. Uh-" "It's okay, It's not like I didn't want you to kiss me." I mumbled, truthfully. He turned to me surprised. I wasn't going to lose him how Asahi lost Nishinoya. I wasn't going to live in fear of losing him. I think I love him back. No, I do love him back.
Even since before this killing game! I've loved you Kageyama! I really have. I wonder if it's the same for you and you just realized now.
"I love you too." I said louder than I thought I would. He turned to me, I wanted to kiss him but I was too nervous. "Is it alright if-" "Y-Yeah." I accepted in a shaky voice. He leaned forward, his face getting closer to mine.
It felt safe-

-The way he stayed there for a moment looking into my eyes before he finally kissed me. This kiss evaporated all my worries even if it was just for a second. I was finally able to relax.
He then pulled away slowly looking into my eyes once again. I didn't smile nor frown and neither did he. We just stared at each other. We were always fighting but for some reason this situation brought us so close together, he wanted to protect me and I wanted to protect him.
I trusted him more than anyone.
I just wanted to stay like this for at least a little while longer. Longer than just the night, or the day.
