Insomnia (A TsukiKage FF) ✔

19 - Comfort

Kageyama stayed by Tsuki's side as they walked to his house. The older kept one arm around the setter's shoulders and brushed away any stray tears that fell. They reached his house and Tsuki opened the door telling Kageyama he can make himself comfortable in the living room.

He headed into the kitchen to get some food on the go, looking over his shoulder to see the setter cautiously sit down on the sofa and look around. He put some meat buns in the microwave to heat them up and got out a glass and filled it with water. He walked into the room and offered the glass to the setter who took it with a slightly shaking hand.

"Ignore the pictures." Tsuki said, taking a look around at the picture frames scattered about the place, causing the setter to smile a little.

"Scared that I'll see baby Tsuki?"

"Ha ha."

"I'm only teasing." Kageyama assured with a grin.

"Good."

The middle blocker returned to the kitchen and got the food before joining the setter on the couch and placing the plate between them. He grabbed the TV remote and flicked to the movie channels, eventually ending on a Disney movie.

"I didn't take you for a Disney fan."

"Are you?"

"... Yes."

"So the King has a soft side."

"Shut up."

Tsuki took one of the meat buns and settled back into the couch, casting a glance at the setter who slowly took one and relaxed to.

"Are you trying to fatten me up?"

"Yes." the older answered plainly.

"Oh."

"You do know you've lost weight, right?"

"Uh..."

"I mean you've still got great thighs but you're waist is really small."

"It's always been small!"

"Good to know."

Tsuki grinned at the red blush on Kageyama's face, enjoying his teasing of the younger. He watched as the setter curled up and slowly began to eat, getting into the film.

The musical numbers and family drama half occupied the pair, their thoughts often straying elsewhere. Tsukishima wanted to ask more about what had happened that evening with Kageyama's parents and the male in question was going through that exact situation over and over in his mind. He must have looked distracted as he was looking down in his lap and had eaten barely anything. Tsuki turned the volume off and turned to face the setter, letting him know he had his attention.

Kageyama turned on his side too, fidgeting with his hands and opening and closing his mouth as if trying to figure out what to say.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really..."

"Then I won't a-"

"What do I do Tsuki? Going back would just mean repeating the cycle all over again. And then tonight... he's never done that before. Hit me for no reason, I mean."

"So he has hit you before?"

"When I deserved it." 

The setter didn't elaborate but Tsuki questioned if Kageyama ever did deserve it. He doubted it. The older sat and thought for a while over all possible options and Kageyama watched his mind at work, in awe of his intelligence.

"We could talk to someone."

"Who? Anyone will just get services involved and I can't deal with that."

"But staying will mean things get worse. You're putting yourself in danger, physically and mentally." Tsuki noted.

"I know... but they're my parents... and if my sister finds out..."

"I think you should call her."

"What!" Kageyama shouted, shocked at the suggestion. "I can't put her through any more than she has to."

"She would want to know."

"For god's sake, I'm so done with this." the setter groaned as he hid his face in his hands and sighed.

Tsukishima looked at the exhausted state of the younger before putting their glasses and half-empty plate on the coffee table and standing up. The middle blocker held out his hand and the setter looked at it with curiosity before accepting.

"Come on, you can take a shower and then get some sleep. We can think about this tomorrow."

"Okay." the younger agreed with a sigh, his blue eyes tired and dull.
