FOREIGN EXCHANGE

TOBIO?!

*ding dong
when the doorbell rang i sat up out of bed.
i had been facetiming with kai.
"who's that another exchange student"? he joked.
"yeah i wish". i said practically drooling.

"he can't be that hot". kai responded.
"no- when you see him your jaw is gonna drop".
"sureee, i knew a lot of kageyama's back in japan and trust me- they were far below the standard".
i grinned knowing he was about to eat shit the first time he saw him at school.

i got out of bed and i saw kageyama's door cracked open with the light on.
i walked past and to the front door, opening it.
"so you wanna make a bet on that"? kai asked as i took the prepaid food from the delivery guy in one hand and closed the door back.
"yeah for sureee". i said.

i walked to the kitchen with the food.
"i have to set you down for a second kai". i laughed as i put my phone on the table.
"bitch prop me up". he said smacking his lips.

"kageyama"! i screamed to tell him the food was here.
"fine watch". i whispered into my speaker as i stood the phone up against the centerpiece on the table.

kageyama came around the corner.
i had to physically stop myself from gawking.
he had gotten more comfortable.
in his grey sweats and a tight black t-shirt.
i could see his muscles showing through them.
geez.

"food"? he asked.
i nodded and pulled a chair out for him.
fuuuuck i want to be those pants right now.

"thank you". he smiled.
"ah"? he noticed kai on the screen gawking as well.
kai quickly hid himself but kageyama grabbed my phone.

"you look at me"? kageyama asked.
kai returned to the screen with red in his face.

"TOBIO"! he screamed.
kageyama's mouth dropped and he smiled wide.
"日本からですか"?! kageyama asked making me raise a brow. [are you from japan ?!]

"はいそうです"!
[yes, that's right !]
kai screamed back.
i didn't understand a word they were saying.

"あなたは夢です！" kai followed.
"何枚". kageyama replied smiling. he was... blushing.

i wish i knew what they were saying.
"あなたが本私の親友どういう意味いるので信じられない"! kai exclaimed.

kageyama laughed a little and then handed me the phone. "i'm hungry". he said still with red in his cheeks.
"what the hell are you guys talking about"?! i whispered into the mic.
"i have to text you". he smiled with wide eyes hanging up.

what the-

i unboxed the meals i had gotten for us.
i ordered noodles, egg rolls, fried rice with a side of shrimp chicken and beef, and wonton soup.
it was quite a lot now that i looked at it.
then i took the two pairs of chopsticks out the bag and dropped them on the table.

"this is funny". he mumbled.
"what"? i asked back.
"you like how they copy the food, you never eat real". he propped his head on the table with his hand.

"it's good to me"! i smiled.
"you need real japan food". he smiled back.
then he dragged his plate towards him.

he grabbed his chopsticks and started rubbing them together while i started eating with mine.
"ah?!". he let out.
i tilted my head and stared at him confused.
"you dont rub them"? he asked.
"why would i"?
"cheap, takes off... um... SPLINTERS". he said finally getting the right word.

"oh". i said looking down at my already used chopsticks. i didn't know that.

"no いただきます"?
"what"? i questioned.
"I-TA-DA-KI-MASU"
he said louder and slower.
"what is that"? i asked.
"it thanks food, you don't say it"?
i shook my head.
"um- いただきます". i said shyly.
i was a bit embarrassed to speak a new language because i didn't want to sound dumb.

"YEAH"! he said with a smile.
his lidded eyes staring into mine made my heart race.

i looked down at my plate.
my phone buzzed and i looked to see a long ass paragraph from kai.
omg.

KAI: bitch- you don't even know how the stars have aligned for you. that is tobio kageyama from miyagi, i knew it as soon as i saw him.
he's not only one of the top setters ranked in japan, his team has went to nationals and he got recruited into japans national team. he's literally so fucking fine. im jealous.

me: WHAT i didn't know he was such a big deal
now i'm even more nervous.

KAI: here's some things you need to know
- he loves volleyball EXTREMELY so if you want that man. do some volleyball
- even though his name is tobio, don't call him that. in japan it's considered something you would do in a relationship, to call someone by their first name. or someone you're close to. which you're not.
- stay tight with him because if you ever get to meet toru oikawa i would just fucking die

me: is kageyama really that big of a deal?

i checked to make sure kageyama was ok and he was on his own phone texting while he chewed.

KAI: girl he has FANS people take PICTURES OF HIM AND EDIT THEM

...
wow. so he's famous?
and he's hot.
i looked up again to see kageyama looking at me.
i had nearly choked when i saw that thing he did in the air, he jumped and hit the ball so hard.
i would have died if that hit me.

"i am done". he said.
i looked at his plate and it was empty.
i guess i was being really slow.

"oh ok". i said watching as he stood up and walked to put his plate in the sink.
then he walked back down the hall stretching his arms.

i heard his door close and i sighed.
oh my fuck.

oaktree- MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW
