Hinata's POV:
I can't believe I did it again. I had asked Suga not to put my bed next to his because I just knew it was going to happen. But when I told him that he just looked at me and said 'oh well.'
He wants me to just tell him. He wants me to tell Kageyama how I feel when I'm around him. How can I do that when I don't know what those feelings mean. Plus Kageyama would probably just think I'm an idiot and yell at me.

"Bakayama." I say under my breath.
"Mm?" I heard him hum next to me.
"N-nothing!" I stutter. I turn away from him in my seat.

We're on our back to Karasuno and of course I'm stuck next to Kageyama again. We can't even look at each other after this morning. Ahhh! It's so embarrassing! Why do I have to be so clingy in my sleep?! I grab my head in frustration. I can feel him giving a weird look. Damn it, I'm making this worse.

Kageyama's POV:
I look over at Hinata who is grabbing is head and looks very frustrated. He looks so cute when he's like this......
Wait......cute? All of the sudden the pieces all fit together. I turn away from Hinata to look out the window, anywhere but at him right now. I feel my face starting to warm up.
Do I.....like....Hinata?

That would explain all these feelings I've been having. When I look at him, when he's sleeping, when he spikes my tosses, when he's with me. No, that can't be right. Hinata is my friend nothing more. I just have those feelings because he's a close friend, my only true friend. I close my eyes so I can think more clearly, I feel like I've been hit by an emotional truck. I sink into my seat with my eyes still closed.

Hinata's POV:
I feel Kageyama move beside and out of the corner of my eye I see him sink into his seat with his eyes closed and a facial expression that seems to say I am very deep in thought. This is going to be a long ride back.

I close my eyes and try to figure out what the feelings I have around Kageyama could mean. I know I'm not the smartest, but I should at least be able to figure out my own feelings. After a while of figuring nothing out and catching myself blushing multiple times for no reason other than I am thinking about Kageyama, I start to feel sleep take over.

Kageyama's POV:
As I continued to try to sort out my thoughts I felt pressure on my shoulder, opened my eyes and let out a sigh. It was Hinata....falling asleep on me....again. I instantly felt a blush creep into my cheeks and butterflies in my stomach . Damn.

I decide to not push him off of me because despite all the confusing feelings I'm having, I like having him near me. A brief thought enters my head to put my arm around him, to pull him into me. I quickly shut the thought out of my mind. That's not what friends do, even I know that much.

~~~

We finally make it back to Karasuno.
"Alright everyone one we are going to do a short practice. Head to the gym and get ready." Daichi says as we are getting off the bus. We make our way to the locker rooms to get changed and start setting up the equipment.
Hinata and I are the first ones changed so we start to set up the net.

"I got the net!" Hinata yelled as he carried the net out of the storage room and started to put it up. I decided not to help him...for several reasons. The first is that he usually yells at me when I do and the second reason is....it is funny watching him try to get the top of the net because he just a few centimeters too short. He usually gets it eventually by jumping but today he was really struggling, probably because he was tired from the training camp.

He's tried a few times, at this point, but seems to have given up. I walk up behind him and grab the net, reaching over him to put it up. I happened to glance down as I did....I think I almost got a nosebleed. Hinata was looking up at me pouting and I just.....I just don't know. Those feelings came back again. The ones that I was pushing aside on the ride home, they came flooding back into my head the instant I saw Hinata like that. I think they even intensified, if that was even possible. In that same instant my face must have turned a dark red, I could feel it radiating heat.
As soon as I realized all this I turned around, away from him, and tried to cover my face.

"Thanks..." I heard him mumble, no doubt still pouting with cheeks puffed out. I didn't dare look at him, I just nodded my head.

"Well isn't that sweet, the King is helping his queen." Tsukishima said with that smug ass smirk on his face. I turned to him and glared. Everyone else was walking into the gym now.
"Now, now Tsukishima. Let them figure it out on their own." Suga chastised him as he walked by.
"Figure what out?" Hinata asked peeking around me. Suga just shrugged, smiled and let out a small chuckle as he continued to walk away. I could feel a faint blush in my cheeks.

"Dumbass Hinata."
"It was just a question! You turd!" He yelled back at me.
"At least I'm smart enough to know what's going on!"
"Then tell me so I can know too!"
"I can't!"
"What? Why not?!"
"I..I just can't!"
We had gotten into yet another yelling match. 
"Cut it out you two. You can figure out your relationship problems later," Daichi yelled at us.
We froze.
"Relationship?" We both said in unison as we glanced at each other.
