Insomnia (A TsukiKage FF) ✔

42 - Texts

Tsukishima managed to get Kageyama to drink all of the green tea and eat half of the muffin. He had his caramel latte and strawberry shortcake. Sobo had slipped a small note in the delivery bag and it said she hoped Kageyama would visit soon as she missed his smile. 

It was around 7PM by the time they finished eating and decided to settle into Kageyama's bed and watch a film on Tsuki's computer. The middle blocker searched for something nice and comforting, and that had a happy ending, settling on Lady and the Tramp. 

The younger really liked this film and watched it with content, but as the hours passed on he wondered if he should tell the blond to go home. He'd already spent the day with him and helped out more than he should have. However, as the hours passed on the more tired he became, and he never told Tsuki to go home. He didn't even stay awake to see the end of the movie.

When the credits rolled on the computer screen, Tsuki looked down and saw that Kageyama was asleep, his head resting on Tsuki's stomach from where the middle blocker was half-sitting up against the pillows. His breathing was slow and regular, his breaths making his hair ruffle slightly on his forehead. Deciding it was time to get some rest too, he turned his laptop off and set an alarm on his phone for 5:30AM.

A series of buzzes alerted him of a new message. It was from the volleyball team's group chat:

Karasuno: Fly High GC 🧡🏐🖤

Time: 9:10PM

Daichi: There won't be any morning practise tomorrow but after school practise will end at 5PM instead of 4:30PM.

Noya: What?! Why?!

Suga: The basketball team need to do some last minute practise before their game tomorrow afternoon and the second gym is being renovated so they asked to use ours. 

Time: 9:12PM

Tanaka: No fair! 😠

Daichi: It's only for one morning.

Suga: And it's Friday! I love having a lie-in on a Friday! 😄

Asahi: It would be nice...

Time: 9:15PM

Hinata: No practise?! 😭

Yamaguchi: Tsuki it says you're reading the texts but aren't replying.

Tsukishima: There's nothing to reply to. What I say won't change the fact that we have no practise.

Tsukishima: Plus you're all annoying.

Tanaka: 😑

Time: 9:19PM

Suga: Tsuki, how's Kageyama? He didn't come to school today and didn't reply to my texts.

Hinata: He didn't reply to mine too! Even if he doesn't he still calls me Boke 😕

Tsukishima: ... Not good.

Tsukishima has left the chat.

He sighed as he exited the chat and shut his phone off, everyone's energetic comments making him tired. It was annoying how loud some of them sounded over text; he could hear their annoying voices in his head. Luckily- for him not the latter- he was distracted as Kageyama stirred and frowned in his sleep, curling up and quietly whimpering.

He looked like he was in pain and seeing something awful. He had one hand in a fist close to his chest and the other was gripping onto the middle blocker's t-shirt. Tsuki put his phone down and shuffled down the bed until he was at the same level as the setter. He wrapped his arms around the younger male and hushed him gently, just like the first time it had happened- in the club room.

One hand ran up and down Kageyama's back, the other closing over the male's clenched fist as he tried to ease the setter off to sleep. He quietly whispered assurances to the troubled expression on Kageyama's face; he saw on the clock that twenty minutes had passed before the younger had relaxed, free of whatever horror was controlling his mind.

Once more he was about to settle to sleep when his phone buzzed. He groaned quietly as he winced at the brightness of its screen and he turned it down before opening and reading the text.

Time: 9:41PM

Daichi: I know it's late, sorry. But could we meet tomorrow morning and talk? About Kageyama, that is.

Daichi: I feel a responsibility as captain but also as his friend to know what's going on and if I can help. The team won't know, not even Suga.

He thought about the text for a while before replying: 

Time: 9:44PM

Tsukishima: Okay, where?

Daichi: Ukai's store? We can get some coffee then walk and talk?

Tsukishima: Sure. I'll be there between 6-6:30AM.

Daichi: Great. Have a goodnight.

Daichi is offline.

His phone finally went quiet and he settled down to sleep, protectively holding Kageyama in his arms, silently praying for a good and undisturbed night's sleep...
