Hinata POV

"Kageyama, can you hurry up a bit? It's getting late!" 

"Shut up dumbass! I'm already hurrying up! Not everyone has an unlimited amount of energy like you, 'kay? And you can go without me, it's not like I forced you to wait for me. " 

I pouted as Kageyama changed his shoes and scowled at me, releasing annoyed pheromones.  I shut up immediately, but continued scolding him in my mind. Didn't he know that this was a normal thing for couples to do? It was as if Kageyama didn't enjoy my company. Right then, a voice behind said, "Ooo a lovers' quarrel? Sucks to be you, Hinata. I honestly can't see the King loving someone." I looked up. It was Tsukishima. 

I flinched at his comment and replied, "Shut up." And truth be told, I was very disturbed at the comment. Kageyama had said that he didn't want to be so lovey-dovey in public because he was uncomfortable with that. Fine! It was his preference, so I had nothing to be angry about that. What made me so uncomfortable was the fact that Kageyama hadn't been doing anything at all as my partner. It seemed as if it was a one-sided relationship, with me always doing the planning for outings and always texting him first. And Kageyama always seemed so very half-hearted about it. He hardly showed any interest and just went along with whatever I wanted. Not to mention that he seemed pissed off at everything that I said. Yes, he had a very shitty personality, but he had never said "I love you" ever since he confessed to me. Oh yes, what's more, he was the one who... 

"What's up shrimpy? Did I hit the jackpot?" Tsukishima's sneer pulled me out of my never-ending complaints about Kageyama. I grit my teeth and opened my mouth to say something, but felt a tug on my arm as the pheromones got stronger. I turned around and saw Kageyama standing behind me , his eyes flashed. Weirdly, seeing Kageyama angry comforted me. It meant he cared. 

Kageyama walked up to Tsukishima and held my hand. I looked up in shock. Kageyama had always pushed me away, saying that he didn't like physical touch. It felt as if every single nerve in my body was concentrated on my hand. But that feeling didn't last long as another wave of dominating pheromones hit me. 

I didn't hear anything that Kageyama or Tsukishima said as they argued, as the air got thicker and thicker with pheromones, giving me a headache. I fell to the ground and whimpered through the migrane, pulling the two out of their conversation. Kageyama quickly dropped to the ground and released calming pheromones to calm me down. 

"Sorry, Hinata, I forgot." I breathed in the pheromones as the headache went away. Tsukishima stared at me as I shakily got up, sucking in a quick breath from the blood rush. Kageyama glared at Tsukishima and walked off, with me on his back. 

As we walked back home with me now walking next to him (after I got better), I cleared my throat and said, "Kageyama, do you like me?" Kageyama grunted, "What do you mean? Of course I do." "Then say it." 

"Say what?" Kageyama asked, confused. "Say that you like me." I pressed. If Kageyama said it, I silently promised that I would forget the whole matter about Kageyama not being serious about our relationship. But Kageyama just rolled his eyes and said, "Stop being so insecure, dumbass." I looked away, and stayed silent for the rest of the walk. 

Tsukishima's POV:

I watched as Kageyama snapped at Hinata. I watched as Hinata looked at the ground. "What an asshole, that King." I thought, "I wonder how dumb Shrimpy must be to even think about dating that King." I walked out and smirked at Kageyama before saying loudly, "Ooo a lovers' quarrel? Sucks to be you, Hinata. I honestly can't see the King loving someone." I grinned as Kageyama glared at me, then heard Hinata say softly, "Shut up." As I looked at the shrimp flinch slightly, I saw that my comment had affected him. 

I see that's how it is...

"What's wrong Shrimpy? Did I hit the jackpot?" I asked, and when Hinata flinched once again, I confirmed it. 

Hinata was doubting his relationship. Well, this was going to be interesting. 

Kageyama gripped tightly onto Hinata's hand, standing up to me. I returned his glare, releasing dominating pheromones to combat his. 

"Stop messing with Hinata. I don't know what you want, but we're perfectly fine." I shrugged, smiling at him arrogantly. I leaned in such that only Kageyama could hear what I was saying, and warned, "Perfect? I don't think so. I'd be careful if I was you." 

Hinata suddenly collapsed and whimpered, and I quickly suppressed my pheromones. I cursed myself for not realising that I was hurting him (not that I cared). I watched as Kageyama released calming pheromones, trying to calm Hinata down, and felt a twinge of ... who knows what it was. I felt sour inside, I wanted to beat the crap out of Kageyama, I wanted him to get away from... from... 

What the hell was I thinking? I cut the thought off immediately. Regaining composure, I walked away, leaving them alone.
