Iwaizumi didn't need long to calm his feral self and finally moved off of Hinata who jumped back onto his feet and spun around. Since he hadn't been able to catch sight of the true Iwaizumi, he took a step back in surprise.
Iwaizumi was one of them.
Like him.At Hinata's surprised yet still fearful expression, feelings overcame Iwaizumi again and tears started to pool out of his eyes.
Hinata hesitated a moment, unsure wether it was appropriate or not, but then wrapped his arms and wings around the sobbing Iwaizumi to hug him. The Seijoh ace honestly looked wasted.
Kageyama inched a careful step closer, freezing a moment at Iwaizumi's protective snarl.
"Boke are you alright?"
"Y-yes I'm fine," Hinata stuttered but visibly relaxed once he felt no danger from Iwaizumi anymore."That's the reason you behaved odd, right? Oikawa-san and Tobio-kun pointed it out," Asahi asked softly and Iwaizumi, nodded slightly, face burried in Hinata's orange locks. Even tho this was definitely not the right moment, Kageyama felt the tiny jealous sting in his heart at this scene.
"I-I... I was adopted. I-I don't know how much you know about inus..."
"Quite much. But Tsukishima has all the records, if you need them."
Iwaizumi shook his head slowly and continued his silent story.
"Then... I think you know that... inus... I... feel useless without a pack. I met my first foster parents when I was three. I didn't know about myself until they tried to bath me... You see, my parents gave me a wristband which had the charm word embedded into it. But... as they took it forcefully off of me... I changed. I changed into this."Asahi frowned and pictured the scene in his mind. A young couple with an adopted child, and all of a sudden their young sunshine turns into a beast.
"They abandoned me the same day. When I met my new foster parents, I swore to keep it a secret... But I felt lonely. I couldn't tell anyone and it crushed me. I even was afraid to tell..."
Iwaizumi's teary gaze dropped onto the still fainted Oikawa and Kageyama swallowed. It explained everything.His hunt for special children.
His antics towards his team. Dogs snap at their pack to control it and Iwaizumi punches instead of biting.
His territorial behavior.
His overprotectiveness.It literally yelled inu.
"As I noticed your sudden interest in winged children and other special races, I just- I just couldn't, Azumane. I realized you, a normal human, managed to find what I was looking for since years and it had me fuming."
Asahi nodded slowly and his lips curled up into an encouraging smile. He wasn't mad at Iwaizumi, how could he? In his situation he was impressed the ace kept his facade up for so long.
"But now... now I smell them all over you. Winged children. Nekos. And a different inu. I... I couldn't control myself anymore, it drove me crazy. I'm... I'm sorry Azumane. I'm sorry I scared you, Hinata. And... I'm sorry, Kageyama."
Asahi shook his head with a smile and even the two first years dismissed it. Hinata released Iwaizumi from his hug and smiled brightly up at him.
"Don't worry!! Since we can trust you, I think the others won't have a problem to reveal themselves to you. And... I-I know it's difficult to show who you are, but my team accepted me. And Fukurodani. And Nekoma. They all know it."Iwaizumi smiled awkwardly down at the first year and nodded.
"Yeah... Thanks. It... it means a lot to me."
"W-we can be your pack!" Kageyama finally blurted out and Iwaizumi flinched at his loud voice. Surprised yet moved, he turned around to Kageyama.
"...d-do you actually mean it?"
"Of course," Asahi smiled warmly and Hinata nodded hastily.
"Yes! It's gonna be awesome! You'll be friends with Nekoma and Fukurodani and us- a-ah, wait, did... did you ever think about telling your team? If... if we do it together with our teams to support you, they will definitely accept you."Iwaizumi looked unsure for a moment and Asahi waved it off.
"Leave it Hinata. For now, let's focus on integrating him into our team."
"Aw man... S-sure."
Iwaizumi walked towards Oikawa and hosted the unconcious setter over his shoulder like a potato bag.
"I guess I'll get-"
"Nah-ah. You come join us," Hinata demanded with a wide grin and Asahi snickered.
"Despite that, you crushed his charm. You need to share yours for the time being."
Iwaizumi blushed embarassed and nodded, he picked up the jacket Asahi and Kageyama had ripped from him and searched in his pockets for the leather wristband which became too small for him since long and held his hand with it out towards Hinata.***
"I-Iwaizumi-san?! Oikawa-san?!" Nishinoya exclaimed with a priceless expression and said one grinned sheepishly.
"Hey everyone. Hinata invited me to come along, is that a problem?"
"Not at all," Daichi approved with a warming smile and Suga nodded as well.
"Let's go grab something to eat. Uhh... By the way... is something wrong with Oikawa?"
Kageyama and Asahi exchanged a knowing glance while Iwaizumi shrugged, letting the captain bounce on his shoulder.
"Nope. He's just tired."
"I... see."It was really nice to go out with the Karasuno team and Iwaizumi had lots of fun, even though he couldn't let go of Hinata's hand and needed to carry Oikawa until they were back at the Karasuno gym.
"K-Kageyama? I just... I just remembered... did you actually yell 'Hands off my boyfriend'?" Hinata stammered with a red face and Kageyama's breath hitched.
Shit.
Tsukishima snorted and directed his attention to them.
"Really? Did you seriously do that King?"
"S-shut up Tsukishima!"
Suga rolled his eyes and together with Daichi they pushed and pulled the team away from them to give them a moment of privacy.
"Iwaizumi? Are you coming?"
The ace froze and started to chew on his lip, eyes searching for help in Hinata's direction. Said one just grinned at Nishinoya.
"Noya? Can you share your charm with Iwaizumi-san?"
"I- WHAT?!"
Iwaizumi and Nishinoya locked eyes with a bewildered expression but at the end, Nishinoya took Iwaizumi's hand and both vanished together with the team."Kageyama?"
The setter needed to rewind all the tutorials on how to breathe and talk as he heard his name from Hinata's lips.
"Y-yes?"
"Did you call me your boyfriend?"
Unable to avert his eyes from those beautiful eyes, Kageyama opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish. He took a deep shaking breath.
"G-go out with me dumbass!" Tobio finally yelled and internally facepalmed. Way to scare his crush off.Hinata blushed and flinched a step away.
"C-can you just keep calling me boyfriend?!"
Kageyama was about to argue back but his voice died out in his throat, his thoughts came to a halt.
"...i-is that what I think you mean?!"
"YES you idiot I want to be your boyfriend!!"
Kageyama flinched but pulled the middle blocker into a hug. That was a horrible confession and he messed entirely up and Hinata acted just as stupid and-"...can we kiss?"
Tobio's eyes flickered down to the seriously red Hinata and he flushed just as scarlet as he progressed his words. Kiss. Kiss. Oh god a kiss.
But Hinata looked up at him with such awaiting eyes and Kageyama needed to restrain himself to not melt on the spot. Gently, he closed the gap between their lips and felt sparks rushing through his body.
Hinata was warm and tasted like the meat buns he had eaten shortly ago. Kageyama pulled him instinctively closer and burried him in his arms.Kageyama loved him more than his life.
Finally, Hinata was his and his alone.BONUS:
"IWA-CHAN YOU ARE A WEREWOLF!!"
"Shut up Shittykawa and get back here!!"
"Oikawa-san get down from the tree! That's dangerous!"
"NO!! AND CHIBI-CHAN IS AN ANGEL!!"
"Oikawa-san please-"
"Get your motherfucking ass down here before I'll get you Trashykawa!!""Hey Oikawa-san, do you need help?" asked Nishinoya suddenly next to him in the tree and Oikawa shrieked startled, then paled even further as he noticed his wings and hurried to climb even higher.
"OH MY GOD YOU ARE TOO!!"
