Road Trip! [Kagehina]

Chapter 5

Kageyama was tired, but after a good night's sleep he felt as though he could do it all again. He turned his head towards where Hinata would have been, though for some reason the opposite bed was empty. Cracks of sunlight were seeping through the closed blinds, making parts of their room light up in a brighter color. Once he felt awake enough, Kageyama sat up and climbed out of bed to investigate.

It didn't take long to find the ginger boy, he could hear the pitter-patter of water falling onto the bathroom floor, making it obvious enough that Hinata was taking a shower. Suddenly, the water stopped and there was a pause for silence. The door unlocked, and Kageyama shuffled back a bit. Hinata looked suprised, but continued out the door "Eeeh?! You're awake already, Kageyama-kun?" Hinata had walked out with only a towel tied round his waist, his hair was scruffy from being dried and one hand was running through it. Kageyama blushed a little, he wasn't sure how he felt about Hinata being shirtless so openly; it made him incredibly flustered. "Put some clothes on, stupid! The blinds aren't even shut!" Kageyama yelled with a serious face, it was the only way he knew how to cover up this weird emotion he held.

Kageyama turned to their little kicthen space, pouring a bowl of cereal. His mind was so caught up that his bowl almost overflowed with milk, having luckily realized this before it trickled over. As he made his breakfast his mind was elsewhere, and Kageyama couldn't get the thought of Hinata shirtless out of his head for the entire morning. So much so, that, whenever Kageyama saw him, a small blush formed on his cheeks. After doing the normal morning routine, the two boys headed downstairs to meet the rest of the group, who were discussing day two of their summer road trip. They slid into discussion easily, or, Hinata did, and Kageyama waited until the orange-haired boy could usher him into the conversation.

"We'll go to the very, very, top, right Asahi?" Nishinoya exclaimed enthusiastically, his eyes almost like an excitable flame that couldn't be put out. His fists were clenched, as though he had punched the air in anticipation. "Uhmm, I'm not too sure about that.. Heights and tall buildings aren't exactly my best friend," Asahi mumbled, almost in an apologetic tone. Nishinoya grabbed one of Asahi's hands in his smaller ones and said, "Well as long as you're with me, everything will be perfectly fine!" And at that, Asahi smiled appreciatively. Nishinoya had always reassured him with his excitement and casual talks, always knowing just what to say, too.

Meanwhile, Yachi was talking with Kiyoko about the tourist attraction they had visited yesterday, which was apparently a traditional Japanese garden that they had both enjoyed. Ennoshita had just spotted Tsukki and Yamaguchi arrive from the lift, giving them a nice wave and a nod as the pair made their way over. Sugawara and Daichi noticed, too, and walked over to greet the indifferent first years.

Sugawara called for everyone's attention, but not so loud so that everyone else in the lobby was left undisturbed, and the group slowed down to a silence. "Today, we'll be heading up to "Tokyo Towers"! Now, we know not everyone is very fond of heights, but we still want people to have a good time! So if you really dislike heights and want to stay fairly low, head with Kiyoko, and if you don't mind going high up, but don't want to go too far, stay with Daichi, and if you want to go to the veeeeery top!" Sugawara used his hands to motion going from the bottom to the top, "Then come with me!" After some indecisive choosing, everyone in the team had found their groups. It was going to be a long trip by tube to Tokyo Towers, and a good amount of queing. The team were excited to get there, and had been provided packed lunches made by Sugawara and the two managers incase the queue was really long.

After standing in line for roughly an hour, and having eaten their lunch, it was finally time for Karasuno to venture up Tokyo Tower. The building was much bigger than expected, and the lights on the side were bound to make the building look pretty at night. "Guess I'll see you later then, Kageyama!" Hinata said with a smile and a cute wave. Hinata was going with Daichi, while Kageyama was heading up straight to the top with Sugawara. Everyone else had wanted to go with Daichi, and progressively make their way up to meet Kageyama and Sugawara at the top. And only Yachi had gone with Kiyoko, neither of them were afraid of the top, but wanted some 'girl time' instead. This was a concept completely out of Karasuno's comprehension, so it seemed. Kageyama was thankful for this, though. I finally have some time to think, he thought with a tired sigh.
