Insomnia (A TsukiKage FF) ✔

13 - Second try...

Tsuki sighed as he turned on the small heater before he sat down by the younger, offering him a Manju his mother had brought from the store yesterday. Kageyama was hesitant, not knowing if he could stomach it.

"You have to eat something."

"Yeah but-"

"You'll be fine." the older assured.

"Promise?" asked the setter, holding out his pinkie finger.

Tsukishima sighed before promising, satisfied when Kageyama took the snack, his blue eyes widening with how good it was. Tsuki texted Yamaguchi not to wait for him that morning and walk with Hinata whilst the setter slowly ate. Kageyama frowned when he had finished, holding one hand against his stomach.

"Did you eat last night?" asked Tsukishima.

"No. I was really full from everything I ate yesterday."

"Really?"

"Seriously, I-" he tried to protest but a wave of fatigue crashed down on him and he let out a yawn.

"Did you listen to music last night?"

"Yeah."

"What song?"

"Heather by someone called Conan Gray. It was okay." the setter added.

"Then why didn't you sleep?"

"... It wasn't the music..."

"No?"

The setter looked down and shook his head, the older understanding what he meant. He asked if it was bad, but apparently it was just screaming and shouting. Kageyama sighed and leaned his head back against the wall, eyes closed and face pale.

"Are you going to do something about it?" asked Tsuki.

"I don't know what I can do." the setter confessed.

"Well, you could start by making small changes."

"Like?"

"Like wearing warmer clothes."

"Hey! Today I wore cargo pants instead of shorts!"

"But they're still so flimsy." argued the middle blocker. "Wear joggers or jeans or something."

"You are no fun."

"No."

"Too salty."

"Definitely."

"But a softie on the inside." Now it was Kageyama's turn to tease.

"Why you-" Tsuki tackled Kageyama to the floor, looking annoyed but unable to keep his frown for long.

"It's not fair that you're the only one who can tease."

"Then I'll stop teasing." Tsuki stated, sitting up and looking blank faced ahead of him.

"No! Because then you wouldn't be Saltyshima, it would be an imposter."

"An imposter?"

"Yes."

Tsuki shook his head, wondering where this sudden energy had come from in the younger. I think the lack of sleep has caused him to start using his sugar levels, he thought. He pulled out his phone, earphones and dual adaptor once more before dragging Kageyama next to him.

"We're gonna try this again."

"Are you sure? I feel bad."

"Then start sleeping more and things will go back to normal."

"But then you'd start being mean again." the setter muttered to himself, but the older heard it and frowned a little.

Kageyama pulled out his earphones and plugged them in, sliding down the wall a little more and lying his head against Tsukishima' shoulder as he waited for a song to be put on. The middle blocker cast a glance at the younger before turning away in case he was looking too long. He chose a song and turned it up.
