"Good work, Shō-chan!"

Beaming at the man, Hinata waved him bye and stepped out of the bookstore, his nerves immediately took over him. His thoughts were running wild with possibilities. It felt like something unusual was about to happen.

"Shōyō-kun!"

He turned his head to the direction of the source of voice and gave the man a small smile. "Sorry to make you wait, Atsumu-san." Ever since that kiss, his mind couldn't think really straight around Atsumu. "Should we, uh, walk to the station?"

"Already wanting to get rid of me?"

Hinata made a noise of protest and shook his head. "No, no, no! You got me wrong, Atsumu-san. I suggested that because it would be convenient for you. But, uh, but we can go wherever you like- however you want." He was making vague motions with his hands, completely flustered.

Atsumu took a hold of one of his hands and laughed fondly. "I was clearly teasing you, Shōyō-kun. How cute." He mumbled lovingly, entwining his fingers with Hinata's. "Let's just stay here. It won't take me long." He gave Hinata a knowing smile.

The redhead's heart was hammering uneasily in his chest.

"Shōyō-kun," Atsumu started in a gentle manner, only for Hinata to squeeze his hand slightly and give a slight head shake. "What happened?"

"Not here." He whispered softly, feeling uncomfortable with all the strangers passing by them. "Oh." Atsumu smiled a bit. "Then um, take me to a place you will be more comfortable at."

Atsumu looked around the empty park and raised his eyebrows in amusement. He followed the shorter bloke as he walked further inside the park. He watched him even more curiously when Hinata effortlessly climbed on the jungle gym and made himself comfortable there. "Is that even safe, Shōyō-kun?" He asked, secretly adoring the boy.

"Come and find out for yourself, Atsumu-san." Hinata smiled back at him and patted the little space beside him. It was a tight space, and would barely fit two people as the stairs for the slide were just starting from the same end.

Atsumu quickly set his bag aside, shrugged off his blazer, took his tie off and placed it neatly on it. Without much difficulty, he climbed the bars and perched himself beside the redhead, smiling happily. "I haven't climbed one of these for years!"

"Well now you did." Hinata shot back, chuckling softly. He curiously ogled the slightly disheveled looking man with doe-like eyes, raking his head to find any possible reason why they were actually here. "So?"

Atsumu smirked, leaning towards the boy. "Are you comfortable enough to resume our talk?"

"Fairly, yes." Hinata mumbled breathlessly. He felt a bit caught between the boundary of the cave-like structure that attached this part of the playset to the other side, and Atsumu. Perhaps it was not a good idea to climb here.
