Kageyama's POV

I quietly walked towards where my room was. On the way, I ended up bumping into someone. Before they could speak, I knew who they were. He always smelled the like forest.

"Sorry, Daichi."

"No need to be sorry. I should've paid more attention to where I was going." He said. I couldn't see, but I could tell he was smiling. Seems he always was. At least in a polite manner. I heard him step aside before continuing on his way. I kept walking forward, seeing the light of my room. The frame and doorway of it was lit up brightly so I'd be able to identify it easily. 

After I walked in, I walked over to my bed and laid down. I rolled onto my back so I was facing the ceiling. I've never gotten to see all those constellations that Yamaguchi worked so hard in creating. It was kind of nice to get to envision them while Hinata drew them in my hand.

He wasn't quite what I had imagined. When I imagined the god of the sun, I imagined someone big and strong. Someone who was bold and perhaps slightly careless, but selfless. Instead, Hinata was rather small. He was smaller than I was based on his glow. He also didn't look very strong, his frame looked small. 

Well, it was good to know who he was at least. He was kind it seemed. I was a bit worried he'd be tired, but he'd have all night tonight to sleep. I rested my hand on my chest before quietly tracing the constellations on my palm again with my other hand. I imagined how they would look in the sky. I knew stars twinkled, or at least that's what Yamguchi had said to me. So, I imagined how nice they'd look in the sky before I closed my eyes to sleep.

Yamaguchi's POV

"Tsukki?"

"Mhm?"

"Does Hinata look okay to you?"

"He never looks okay."

"...No. I mean. Look?" I said, Tsukki turning his head to see Hinata sitting on the ground while yawning. A bit strange since he was normally very, bouncy. 

"Hm. I will admit that's strange for him."

"Well, we need to wake him up. If he falls asleep, the sun falls too." I said, Tsukki looking around before waving his arm. A heavy cloud crashing down onto Hinata.

"Tsukki!!" I shouted in surprise, Tsukki parting his hands as the clouds dissipated. Hinata jolted and sat up. Tsukki chuckled as I smacked his arm gently.

"Why'd you do that!?"

"It woke him up, didn't it?" Tsukki said as I peaked over at Hinata who was now awake. And wet since clouds are just water. I shook my head as Tsukki walked off with a small smile. I took another glance at Hinata before following after Tsukki.

"Do you think he'll actually sleep tonight?"

"He better."

"I think he and Kageyama got along pretty well huh?"

"I suppose so. Despite being complete opposites."

"Well, sometimes humans say that opposites attract." I said with a smile, Tsukki nodded before ruffling my hair.

"It has attracted us."

"Huh? Do you think we're opposites??"

"You're much sweeter than I am." Tsukki said blatantly. I giggled at his response before just shrugging and nodding. I guess he was right, in a sense. Tsukki wasn't exactly mean, but after a thousand or so years, his patience has run a bit thinner than he did when we were only a few hundred years old. 

"Hey Tsukki. Would you ever want to have kids?"

"Eh. They're an awful lot of trouble. And one with my magic would be even more trouble." Tsukki grumbled. I smiled slightly with a shrug. I guess he was right. Magic on its own was already a bit unpredictable. And when babies from the gods are born, they inherit the same magic as their parent. One of them, if two gods have a child.  And that magic ends up going a bit out of control sometimes.

So, the solution to that was basically find a human worthy of inheriting the powers of a god, and transferring it to them. That's probably what Tsukki would end up doing. I wonder if I should do that too. But I kinda like the thought of having a baby.

I've visited the city here before, and to see all the children and the babies was always a delight. They were so cute..! It'd be cute to have my own. But I dunno who I'd have one with. My thoughts were disrupted when Tsukki bumped my arm.

"Yama, we've done our work. Let's return home."

Hinata's POV

I stretched, keeping an eye on the sun as it moved, ever so slowly, across the sky. Even if it was kind of a rude way to wake me up, I'm glad that Tsukishima nearly crushed me in a cloud. I can't fall asleep, and I wasn't THAT tired, I was just yawning..

I sighed and wandered about, trying to find things to occupy me. Maybe I could go- no I don't like all the attention I end up drawing to myself in the city. Besides, I think that a bunch of people are busy preparing the city and the buildings for something. 

Even though all the people in the city we looked over left offerings, made temples, and other gifts to all the gods, it was originally built for the goddess that they called Athena. Though, no one around Olympus calls her that. But she let's the people call her whatever they like. 

She's very kind to them, normally. I mean, yeah she turned someone into a spider. But it was only once. I've seen other gods do a lot worst. Well, if I don't go into the city, what else can I do. I gotta stay out here to watch the sun, plus, if I go home I could accidentally let it fall.

Oh, I can go visit Suga! But what if he's with Daichi? They spend a lot of time together. But I have nothing else to do..! And Kageyama was asleep. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi just left.. Uhhh, hm. Okay, I'll just go visit Suga. If nothing else, maybe he can show me how to pick up baby bunnies correctly again.
