Insomnia (A TsukiKage FF) ✔

6 - Hideaway

Sobo smiled warmly before ruffling Kageyama's hair and telling them their order was on the house. Once they had finished eating, and had left the café, Kageyama found that he did indeed feel a lot better. They returned to the main road and continued walking in silence, the irregular sounds of birds and cars surrounding them. Kageyama seemed lost in thought and walked where his feet took him; Tsuki saw this and went along with it, replying to Yamaguchi's worried text with a brief explanation.

Eventually they turned off from the roads and began up a small path, walking across and up a small meadowy area until they came to the top of a hill. Kageyama stopped as if finally realising where he was and how far he had walked: it was just under a half-hour walk away from his house on foot.

He looked out onto the view below and let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Tsuki followed his gaze and saw a stretching green valley littered with trees and flowers. Horses grazed in the far fields and a river who's water sparkled in the morning sun wove throughout the rolling hills, winding in and out and up and down the green banks. He could imagine what it looked like when the sun was rising or setting; with the distant town behind them he understood why the setter found it so peaceful.

He looked at the younger and saw his eyes held a little more life than usual. Whether that was down to the refreshments or the fresh air he didn't know, nor did he particularly care. But it was there. Yet, there was still an underlying look of worry and sadness about him.

Kageyama sighed before sitting down on the hilltop, leaning back on his hands and stretching his legs out in front of him. He let his head fall back with his eyes shut, the sun beaming down upon him and warming him up nicely. Tsuki looked at the green grass before following suit. Kageyama opened one eye and gave a raised brow.

"I wouldn't think that the King would want someone looking down on him."

"You're taller than me anyways."

Once more silence resumed, and as the minutes passed and the sun reached the middle of the sky, Tsuki took out his earphones and plugged them into his phone, listening to music to drown out the annoying sound of birds cawing in the sky and the trees nearby.

He looked over at the setter every so often. His blue eyes never left the view in front of them, yet his gaze was distant like he was caught up in his own thoughts, trapped in his mind. He also let out yawn every so often and sighed way too much for a normal person.

Tsuki thought back to Kageyama's words earlier that day, about having to get out of the house. There wasn't enough information for him to work with, and, well, he couldn't let the younger go on like this any longer. If Kageyama didn't get better and ended up seriously ill then he- well, he wouldn't hear the end of it from the team. He sighed and put his earphones away.
