HE SMELLED LIKE ORANGES

Kageyama was happy. It may not sound like a big deal, but for most of his life he hadn't really focused in being happy, he'd just focused on being the best. This had resulted in him not enjoying his life as much as he could have. What had caused him to make this change? Shoyo Hinata. He'd first met Hinata in middle school when they played against each other in a volleyball match. After that they ended up going to the same high school and were enemies at first, but quickly became partners and friends. Then, Kageyama had started to fall in love with Hinata. It took a few months, but he finally had the courage to ask him out. Hinata had gleefully said yes and he'd found out later that Hinata had been wanting to ask out Kageyama as well. Their first date had gone amazingly, and Kageyama remembered it well. They'd gone to have a picnic on the beach and Hinata told Kageyama he didn't think he'd run into the water fully clothed. Kageyama had done it without a second thought, pulling Hinata in with him. They'd splashed around in the ocean for hours, dunking each other underwater and laughing. They'd only stopped once it was starting to get dark, and walked back to Kageyama's house with their picnic basket, soaking wet and shivering. Then they'd finished the night by changing into fuzzy pajamas, making hot chocolate, and cuddling up to each other while watching a movie. Hinata had fallen asleep on Kageyama's shoulder and Kageyama had run his fingers through Hinata's hair while listening to his steady breathing.

That was two months ago, and every day with Hinata since then had been just as perfect. Kageyama was appreciating his life more than he ever had, and he loved every second he got to spend with Hinata. Today, they had decided to go on a little coffee date after practice and then wander around the city for a bit. Neither of them could drive, so they walked together from their high school. Hinata was full of energy as usual and bounced along, talking energetically and pointing out any animal he saw.

"Look at that dog!" Hinata said, waving his arm towards the other side of the street, where a very small fuzzy creature that looked more like a cotton ball than a dog was being walked by its owner. Hinata was so absorbed by the dog that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and accidentally stepped in front of the path of a bicyclist. Luckily, Kageyama was holding Hinata's hand, and he was able to pull Hinata back so he didn't get hit. Hinata bumped into Kageyama, seemingly oblivious to what had happened because he just continued talking about the dog, "Did you see it Kageyama? It was so cute. Maybe we should get a dog together."

Kageyama laughed, "I don't think we need a tiny energetic creature that doesn't listen most of the time. I already have you after all."

Kageyama expected Hinata to get a little upset at this, but he didn't, "Aw Kageyama, that's why it would be perfect! I really think we should. If we don't get a dog maybe we can get a different pet?"

Kageyama shrugged, "I'll think about it, but it would be difficult for us to own an animal together since we don't even live in the same house. Maybe we should wait until we graduate."

Hinata frowned, "I hate it when your arguments make sense," then he whipped his head around and his grin came back, "Look Kageyama, It's a squirrel!" Kageyama looked down at Hinata, he may be a bit of a dumbass, but Hinata was his dumbass and Kageyama wouldn't trade him for the world.

They reached the coffee shop pretty fast because about halfway there, Hinata had decided he wanted to race. Hinata hadn't let go of Kageyama's hand though, but they were relatively close to the same speed so Kageyama just had to keep up his pace. They called it a tie because they were next to each other the entire time and burst through the doors to the coffee shop at the same moment. They weren't exactly subtle about the way they came in so almost everyone in the coffee shop turned to look at them.

Kageyama ignored all the stares and pulled Hinata to the counter so they could order. Kageyama got a coffee with a lot of milk, and Hinata got a hot chocolate. Hinata didn't like coffee, which made Kageyama glad. Hinata was already so full of energy and Kageyama had no idea what would happen if Hinata put caffeine in his body, but Kageyama assumed it wouldn't be good. It would probably be something like taking care of a hyperactive toddler who'd just had sugar for the first time.
