Another Chance? A KinKuniKage story

Chapter 7

Kunimi's POV:
    Hey was all I had to hear to make my stomach sink slightly. My back was to the voice, but I knew it all too well. I turned around looking at Kageyama and blushing ever so slightly. I knew he had just been on a run, that much was clear but I wouldn't point it out so I pushed down my old, stupid resurfacing feelings.
    “What do you want?” I asked in a cold monotone voice just so that maybe it would make him leave. He seemed a little fidgety as he messed with his fingers a bit. He was nervous.
    “Look. I know you guys fought yesterday and I know it was my fault so I understand if you wanna take away your promise of giving me one month.” Kageyama muttered looking at his feet. Was he serious? There was no way. I kinda felt bad for him, I had a part of me that wanted to walk up to the jackass and give him a hug telling him that they didn't want to give up on the month. The other part though was telling him to shut it down now, walk away and never look back. 
    “No.” I heard Kunimi say next to me. Out of shock, I looked at him about to argue but he held up a hand telling me to be quiet. I ultimately listened. “We gave you a month, we won't turn back on our promise, also we're already a few days in so what's the point? Now Kunimi, anything you wanna add?” He continued looking at me with a smile that said it all. Don't mess this up and don't hurt his feelings.
    I hated when Kunimi was like this, like come on I'm not the bad guy here. The thing is we both know I have no filter so I'll say whatever I want even if it hurts people. This must be one of those few moments where if I say something to hurt someone Kindichi would slap me upside the head. I didn't need that right now. So I closed my eyes and took a deep breath looking at Kageyama who was looking at me like a doe in headlights. 
    “One-month isn't that long and it's not like we aren't gonna let you try. Would you...wanna join us today...you don't have to, it's just an offer.” I said crossing my arms and looked away. When I looked at him out of the corner of my eye though I saw his face light up a bit with a small smile before it disappeared again. Wait. No. I actually wanna see that smile again. Please, it reminded me of the old Tobio. 
    “Yeah,” Kageyama said, clearing his throat “ok I'll join you guys since you're ok with it. If you ever want me to leave though...just let me know ok? I'll leave without arguing,” he said with a small nod. I nod back and then look at Kindichi who has a wide smile. I blush.
“Great!” Kindichi says clapping his hands together, “Let's get going then, we were gonna go to an art museum not too far from here since we figured it would be a calming place. So let's get going.”
We both followed in as he began walking out of the small store we were in. I wanted to walk up to him and hold his hand but I refrained and just stuffed my hands into my pockets. I looked over at Kageyama who was walking beside me with a small smile. I took a mental picture and compared it to two years ago before he became the king. Sure enough from memory it was the same. 
    “So, how come you're not hanging out with the shrimp or one of the other first years?” I asked looking back ahead so I don't seem weird for staring too long.
    “Oh, I'm pretty sure Hinata had a date with Tsukishima, the blonde beanpole, and Yamaguchi, the freckled one,” Kageyama said and I felt some sort of wave of relief wash over me. It seemed like Kindichi felt the same due to his body language.
    “Wait...so you don't like the orange-haired boy?”
    “Hinata? Oh god no. strictly friends. Even if I was to hit on him, which I definitely wouldn't since he's not my type, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi would probably kill me. Trust me. No feelings for him whatsoever.” Kageyama defended himself pretty well.
    The rest of the walk was pretty quiet. Kindaichi continued to walk ahead of me and Kageyama. The sun was covered slightly by some clouds causing the breeze that was blowing to be a bit colder than it would have been if the sun was completely out. The streets were mostly empty at this time of day, it was almost like a ghost town but only because people were normal and sleeping in. 
    This was going to be quite an interesting trip, the fact that it was to a place that all three of them used to go as middle school first years made it all the better. My mind kept running with random thoughts as I wondered what it would be like to be dating one if not both of them. I liked the idea of it but I would never say it out loud since a part of me still wanted to punch Kageyama in the face. 
    As we walked up the steps of the museum we all paid for our entry and then began looking at all of the odd art. I felt at peace looking at all of the abnormal paintings and sculptures. My favorites were the ones of scenery though. I loved imagining myself living in one of those places with my husband or husbands to help guide me through all of our ups and downs. 
    I found it rather adorable how excited Kindaichi would get when it came to his favorite artworks. We used to take selfies, the three of us, in front of our absolute favorite artworks. Sadly, it didn't seem like Kindaichi was going to let it go as he waved both me and Kageyama over holding out his phone. We both knew what was coming so we stood behind our...my?....behind turnip head and smiled a bit. 
    “3, 2, 1!” Kindaichi counted down before snapping the picture. He smiled a bit as he looked at the picture and then showed us. "Just like old times am I right?" He said grinning.
    I could tell what he was trying to get at and I didn't necessarily like it. Kageyama nodded a bit though so I did as well. Maybe if the king didn't remind me so much of our last year U would like him a bit or maybe even a lot more. But he does remind me of that last year. He does remind me of how much hell he put me through. So, I won't be letting him off so easily. Not yet at least. 
    "Let's go to mine next and then we can go to yours Kags, ok?" I offered to head off in the direction of my favorite art piece that has surprisingly never been swapped out for a new piece. I got the ok from both as I started walking towards it.
    Once in front of my favorite statue, I smiled a bit looking up at it. I always wondered how long it must have taken to make but I never bothered to look it up. Or I did and I just couldn't remember. I marveled at its beauty wondering if anyone looked at me and couldn't take their eyes away from me like I can't take my eyes away from that beautiful art. 
    We ended up taking quite a bit of pictures getting two in front of both Kageyamas and my favorites. Kindaichi though must have been secretly snapping pictures of us all the whole time seeing as he had to post two Instagram posts just so he could get in all of the pictures that he wanted in them. 
    I was definitely never going to tell Kageyama it to his face but I was glad he came. it might have been rather boring without him seeing as it was always fun when I and Kindaichi brought Kageyama in first and second year.
    I missed the years when everything was easy, when we all got along, when Kageyama was happy. It kind of hurt to remember those times but nothing he did would change the past so he would just have to live with what he had. He hated that he felt, still, like he couldn't trust Kageyama but with time and effort from him maybe, just maybe, he could fix some of his mistakes and I could forgive him.
    After about an hour and a half, we left the huge building both Kindichi and Kageyama talking about the new updated art like a bunch of excited toddlers. I smiled a bit watching the two from behind. I was glad to see them getting along but I was still confused with how kind Kindichi was being with all of this. 
    I looked up at the sky smiling softly at the clouds. I watched three blackbirds fly seemingly dancing around each other. I marveled at them wishing I could be up there dancing freely as well. I was so caught in my thoughts I didn't even notice Kageyama and Kindichi trying to get my attention until Kindichi was waving a hand in front of my face. 
    "Hello~ Earth to Kunimi. Kunimi do we have your attention now?" Kichichi asked, giggling slightly. My cheeks flushed slightly as I nodded.
    "Yeah sorry, what's up?" I asked giving him my full and undivided attention.
    "We wanna go to the park and watch the stars once it gets dark. You're coming right?" Kin asks eyes sparkling with excitement. I looked at his expression and felt myself giving in even though I didn't want to. He was too excited and there was no way I was ruining that. 
    "Yeah sure why not," I said rolling my eyes and acting like I didn't want to go. I watched Kindaichi grin and Kageyama smile hopefully. He was getting his hopes up, I could tell. I didn't want him to think that so I looked him dead in the eyes "Don't think this means I trust you yet. I just want to see the stars as well." 
    He visibly deflates and I feel slightly guilty but I don't let it show.
    All of a sudden I'm being dragged away by my arm by Kindaichi who tells Kageyama to wait for a second. After a few minutes, I'm pinned against a tree, my cheeks a blushing mess. 
    "I told you to be nice. I didn't ask much, just that you try to be nice for one day." The slightly taller ravenett said, staring me down. I felt smaller for sure but I kept my face straight, my expression not faltering a bit under the pressure. 
    "And what if I don't want to huh?" I don't know what was compelling me to say that but I should have kept my mouth shut. 
    "I know you still like him, no matter how much you try to forget that same feeling lingers inside you and you can't forget. So stop acting like a dick and try to be nice because he's trying so hard to prove himself to you." He scolded, towering over me. 
    While he was speaking to me I only had one thing on my mind. Fuck...He's hot. He had my complete attention. 
    "What if I don't want to? What if I'm scared because the same thing will happen as in middle school and we lose him again. What if he hates us and he's just trying to use us? What if-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence before I felt a pair of soft lips pressed against my own. My eyes widened as I took a second to process what was happening. I came to my senses though and kissed back. The kiss was tender yet passionate, it sent a spark through my veins coursing through me and pulling me to my senses. I knew exactly what he was saying without him having to say it 'Then do it for me'. 
    After a few seconds, he pulled away and looked at me "Let's go now. Kageyama is still waiting." Kindaichi said as nothing happened. He held my hand as he more or less pulled me back to where Kageyama was. I was still in a bit of a daze not completely sure what just happened. I would have to ask him later and clear things up though. 
    Once we were back with him, Kindaichi smiled, still holding onto my hand. "Sorry to keep you waiting, we're ready now. Come on, the park is right over there," Kidaichi said, grabbing Kageyama's hand who seemed a little surprised but walked with him a small smile on his lips and a light blush dusting his cheeks. 
    This was already a crazy day. What else could happen? Right?
