Tsukikage-The woodland realm (Haikyu fan fic)

. . .I-i was lonely

Kageyama smiled "Do you remember?"

Tsukishima looked at him confused and slipped the daisies back in his pocket "Yes I remember the dream. . .b-but how do you know about it. . .What's happening?"

Kageyama frowned and scratched the back of his neck "umm. . . you see I don't know but can you please answer my question how many times have you been woken up there, you know the dream world"

"two. . .w-what about you"

Kageyama started counting on his fingers trying to think back to the first time he landed there. And then once he'd counted how long he'd been there he looked at Tsukishima hesitant to tell him which made Tsukishima feel nervous. But he replied quietly to the point where Tsukishima could barely hear him "I think I've been in there every night for about a year".

Tsukishima couldn't believe what he'd just heard he tried to imagine waking up every night in the woods all alone for a whole year. "T-That's why I felt so happy when you had started awakening in the woods with me because before hand I-I felt really lonely" tears trickled down Kageyama's cheeks.

Tsukishima leaned in and hugged Kageyama comforting him "Don't worry I'll always be there for you. . .Every night from now on I'll wake up in the forest and come find you I promise" Tsukishima's words made Kageyama smile and he hugged Tsukishima tighter not wanting to let go.

Hinata started twitching. He was waking up. Tsukishima let go and sat back to his original position he had sat in before he fell asleep. And so did Kageyama. Both boys shook Hinata slightly which caused him to wake up. Hinata yawned and looked up at the two. "what time is it" Tsukishima looked to Kageyama.

"I broke my phone this morning so can you check"

Kageyama nodded and reached in his bag to find his phone. When he took it out he checked the time "Oh wow it's 10pm" Hinata sat up quickly in disbelief and snatched the phone off Kageyama and his mouth hung open wide when he realised Kageyama wasn't lying. "If you don't mind I'm going back to bed night you two" and just like Hinata was snoring away.

Tsukishima and Kageyama giggled before looking at each other "So King should we go to bed too"

Kageyama nodded and they both lay down. Before dozing off Kageyama added "See you in the nightime realm realm". And they both fell asleep.

This time when Tsukishima woke up it was different. He opened his eyes and noticed he was in the same place however when he looked up Kageyama was standing next to him his face hovering over him. Kageyama helped Tsukishima up and grabbed his hand leading him in a random direction. He said as he looked behind him to look at Tsukishima "Come this way I want you to meet someone". After a little while Kageyama stopped by a small cave "in here". Kageyama dragged Tsukishima inside and there right in front of his eyes was a wolf. "Say hi to Twilight" Tsukishima gazed at the wolf who seemed tame so he walked up to the animal and started to pet it's fur like he did with the deer back then.

"It's so soft" Tsukishima exclaimed.

"You like animals a lot don't you" Kageyama went up to the wolf and started petting it softly behind the ears. "He likes being petted here" Kageyama backed away and watched how Tsukishima happily petted the wolf. Kageyama thought "He looks adorable right now. . .wait why am I thinking this" Kageyama tries to shake the thought out his mind.

"Can I look after him?"

Kageyama smiled and almost replied instantly "Of course, you seem to really like him and it's not like he's mine anyways"

"King can we go explore I bet there's lots to see here and I want to see it all" Tsukishima's eyes opened wide while he said that. He looked like a child at a candy store.

Kageyama grabbed Tsukishima's arm and took him out the cave "We won't have much time let's get exploring then" the pair headed off in a random direction. So far they had only come across some trees, an owl and a fox. However after some time of walking they noticed a wooden lodge. And in front of the lodge lay a worn out path and to the side of the path lay a large collection of flowers of all colours scattered about making a beautiful array of colour. "I've never been here before" As they walked up to the lodge Tsukishima let go of Kageyama's hand and he walked over to the group of flowers. He kneeled down and searched for a couple of minutes before picking out the perfect flower. He then walked back over to Kageyama and handed him the flower. It was a pretty blue flower. Tsukishima put the flower in Kageyama's hair. Kageyama blushed softly and said in a calm and soft tone "thanks"

Tsukishima clutched onto Kageyama's hand again and they walked over to the front of the lodge. "King Let's go inside" Kageyama nodded and pushed open the door which creaked loudly and they stepped inside together. The lights were off but it was bright enough for them to see inside which looked like an ordinary lodge. It was clean and tidy. No dust or cobwebs anywhere. The  lights turned on randomly and in front of them was an old man sitting on a rocking chair at the end of the lodge.

"Hello there you two come on inside" his voice was hoarse and quiet. He beckoned the two of them inside. Tsukishima closed the door and the two of them walked over to the old man and sat on a couch together in front of the old man's chair.

"What is this place" Kageyama asked politely.

The old man took a sip from a coffee mug and once he settled the mug back down onto his coffee table he started to talk. "Unfortunately I don't have an answer. . .You know you two are the only people I've seen in a long time"

"how long" Tsukishima asked

The man thought for a little while before remembering "Hmmmm around 20 years"

The two boys gasped in disbelief. "Really" Both of them asked.

The old man nodded his head and before anyone could say another word the old man disappeared. Tsukishima turned his head to face Kageyama "Where did he go?" he asked. Kageyama just shrugged his shoulders and stood up.

"So where to now?" Kageyama asked. Before Tsukishima could answer the side of the lodge bust down and a bear came in running hungrily towards them. "Ummm Tsukishima we've got to run". Tsukishima leapt up and the pair ran out the lodge and ran deeper into the forest still being chased by the bear. From being athletes they had great stamina however their speed had no match to the bear who tailed them with ease. The bear leapt up and attacked Kageyama scratching him deep into his arm. They both continued running Kageyama's arm was bleeding bad and they had to treat it or he could die from blood loss.

"What do we do" Tsukishima asked while panicking

"We should wake up soon but till then we got to keep running" The setter replied running out of breath. Kageyama and Tsukishima both collapsed to the floor at the same time.

And just as they had anticipated they woke up however Kageyama was wailing in pain while blood dripped over Tsukishima's bed. "W-What" Tsukishima crawled over to Kageyama in disbelief he couldn't believe what he saw. In his mind he thought "B-but the bear was just in the dream. . .the realm he shouldn't be hurt here" Tsukishima grabbed his phone and called an ambulance. His hands shaking the entire time. While he waited for the ambulance to arrive he didn't know what to do. Kageyama's body was violently shaking and he his pulse raced faster and faster. "W-what do I do" he said whispered.
