no escaping HORKnee

i held onto my stomach laughing.
kageyama was wiping tears out his eyes.
somehow, kageyama started telling me about his friends and they sounded hilarious.
especially this carrot top kid he mentioned.

me and kageyama sat side by side on his bed, with the covers pulled over our legs.
"so- the bald guy yelled at this boy just for looking at your team manager"? i questioned.

"well- everyone had a crush on kiyoko, so he was justified". he responded.
"hmm- everyone"? i asked raising an eyebrow and looking at him.

he rolled his eyes. "what- are you jealous"? he asked.
"what no-" i quickly deterred.
he sighed.
"it's not like i still like her".

"OH so you did like her". i replied.
he leaned on one palm and got a little closer to me. my stomach dropped.
"relax she's not even into guys".

my face felt warm.
why was he so close all of a sudden?

"so- it's getting kinda late". i said.
he nodded. "yeah- you wake up for school earlier than i thought".

"goodnight i guess". i replied.
"goodnight". he said back a little hesitantly.

i got up and walked out, breathing heavily as i felt his gaze on my back.
/////////🌙/////////////—-//////-////

i can't sleep.
no matter how hard i try.

thinking about kageyama makes me anxious.
my mom is out of her damn mind.
any normal parent would feel weird about letting two teens stay together unsupervised.

i mean... it's not like i've really done anything though.
*sigh
maybe she knew her daughter was too much of a chicken to actually do anything.

i have no passion- fuck.

i wonder what he's doing right now.
i wonder if he went straight to sleep... maybe he wanted me to stay.
maybe- he was hoping id ask to stay in his room for the night.

but of course i didnt.
even though he so obviously liked what i was wearing.

i sat up and yawned.
it's already 1 am.
we have to be up at 6:30 to get dressed.

there's no way-

🌙——————-/////—//——-///

*knock knock
"...hello"? i heard from inside the room.
i was knocking on kageyama's door.
and he was actually awake.

"can i come in"? i requested.
i heard him clear his throat and then give me permission.

i cracked the door open and peeked my head in.
"what is it"? kageyama asked peering at me.
he was tucked beneath the covers, his piercing blue gaze paralyzing me in the doorway.

"i um- i actually wanted to ask earlier but i was a little shy, you don't have to say yes though". i was rambling. i held onto my arms, trying not to let him see how nervous i was around him.

"do you think i could sleep in here tonight"? i asked.
his eyebrows raised and i could already see that face of red forming.
"with me"? he asked back.

i looked away and avoided eye contact.
"yeah with you". i mumbled.
...

it seemed like it took forever for him to respond.
"yeahhh". he said slowly, scooting over in his bed closer to the wall.

i closed the door behind me.
"should i turn off the light yet"? i asked looking at the switch.
what was he doing in here with the lights on at this time anyways?

"yeah you can flip it". he replied.
i did such and then realized how dark this room was.

i walked towards where i knew the bed was and got in. my leg slid over kageyama's and i quickly pulled it back.
"you're still wearing those socks". kageyama said.
"well yeah". i said, didn't he see them?

i changed into shorts instead of my skirt.
but the socks kept me warm.
plus- i know what advantage they give me.

it was pitch black but kageyama's face was nearly glowing. we were both breathing strange.
and i could tell the distance between us wasn't enough to not feel like we were right on top of each other.

it was nerve wrecking and anxiety inducing being this close to him. i could practically feel his breath on my face.

"goodnight". i heard him whisper.
"oh- goodnight". i replied.
there was a smile on my face but i knew he couldn't see it.

i don't know when i fell asleep.
but i know i smelled his cologne even in my dream.

oaktree— imagine sleeping next to a hottie.
