Coffee | KageHina

Chapter 8

"Congrats everyone for making it through 1st semester! Enjoy your academic break and continue to do your best." The teacher encourages her students and cheers erupted from her class after her speech.

Right on cue, the school bell rings and everyone immediately went to pack their stuff. Hinata quickly shoves his books back in his bag before turning to walk to Kageyama. He stops in his tracks when he sees his head laid on top of his arms, fast asleep.

I just bought him coffee an hour ago...Hinata's eyebrows furrowed in concern as he approaches Kageyama. He gently shakes him awake and immediately, Kageyama's head shoots up from his arms, looking around with a confused and tired look.

"Kageyama?" The said man hums in response as he rubs his tired eyes. "Do you wanna go get coffee before we go to my house?" Hinata's concern only grew when he sees the dark bags under his eyes. He has been noticing Kageyama's request for more coffee than usual, and the way he would fall asleep in the midst of their studying.

Hinata doesn't want to pry but he was getting worried about Kageyama's lack of sleep.

Still groggy and half asleep, Kageyama mumbles an approval incoherently. Hinata smiles but it doesn't reach up to his eyes like before, more worried about Kageyama as he helps him up from his seat.

He takes note of how his arm seemed skinnier than usual, almost feeling the bone in his palm. Hinata furrows his eyebrows but says nothing else, only helping Kageyama pack his stuff in silence.

He waits until Kageyama slings his bag over his shoulder before he wordlessly leaves the classroom. Hinata follows beside him awkwardly, unsure if he should point out his concerns or stay quiet.

They reach the outside of the school building and see their friends waiting for them.

Yachi immediately notices them and waves cheerfully. Hinata refrains from running toward them and patiently walks beside Kageyama, deciding not to leave him alone with him still being a bit tired.

When they reach them, Hinata greets his friends with a smile. "Hey, guys! Is it okay if we go grab some coffee before we go?" He asks. He already knew his friends would agree immediately because of their hangouts together at the cafe.

As expected, they all nod in agreement. They waste no time and began heading to the cafe.

Hinata stays beside Kageyama as the others walk ahead, talking about random stuff. He seems to be spacing out, his eyes half-lidded as he lets his body work for him.

The sight makes Hinata furrow his eyebrows as he gazes worriedly at Kageyama. He couldn't take it anymore so he voices his concerns. "Kageyama?" The said man hums, tiredly turning his head to Hinata who purses his lips at the sight. "Are you okay?"

As if the question woke Kageyama up, his eyes widened before trying to rub off the heaviness of his eyelids. "Yeah." He simply says though he knew it didn't convince Hinata. Hell, his lies couldn't convince anyone anymore.

Though he was thankful that Hinata didn't say anything else, he could still feel his eyes staring at the side of his head, causing him to shift uncomfortably.

Hinata purses his lips together as he turns his head away, a bit saddened at the fact that Kageyama still refuses to be open despite them knowing each other for a month now.

A sigh escapes his lips as he tries to convince himself to be patient around Kageyama despite the fact that he wanted to get to know him more.

The front door opens as everyone enters Hinata's house. The warmth made them sigh in relief as they were finally out of the cold. Yachi immediately makes herself comfortable by laying down on the couch, letting her back relax as she lets out a long sigh.
