Stressed-Kageyama Tobio

Y/N's POV

It was just another peaceful night, but then I felt some thing shift next to me, then felt nothing but the cold. I slowly lift my eyes to see that Kageyama wasn't next to me anymore. Ever since we moved in together, for some reason, I couldn't fall asleep without his warmth next to me or his big, lanky body crushing me in to his chest.

I reluctantly pulled the sheets off me and went to look for Kageyama. I looked through every room but he still wasn't anywhere to be seen. I sat down in the living room wondering where he could be at this hour. Then in the corner of my eye I see his figure out the window.

And not to my surprise he was training. Again. He looked so perfect though. The moon light was somehow making him shine brighter than he does in the sun. It illuminated all his features so perfectly. Heat rushes to my cheeks at how perfect he could look even late at night, training with a volleyball.

That jerk is always able to make me fall in love with all over again without him even trying.

However, something felt different. His movements were almost forced and rough, like his old days in middle school. His face was back to his typical scowl, yet I could imagine flames around him.

But what really made me worried was when he stopped. It was the strangest thing for him to ever stop training until it was morning. Now I could tell that something was off and it wasn't just my imagination.

He just seemed to have given up? No, that would never happen. He seemed frustrated. I quickly walked downstairs and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Kageyama right in front of me. His face shocked to think I would be up this late.

"What are you awake at this late?" I gave him the 'are you serious face?'

"Then what about you? Why are you practicing so late?" He flinched at my comeback. He was never the type to really be great at arguments or continuing them. He just looked away a bit moodily and walked past the door.

"No reason. Just felt like it." He seemed so devoid of any kind of energy or motivation. I was staring to get extremely worried with how he was acting. So, I let in a big breath and prepared myself for either death or a near death experience.

I slapped the back of his face and it could have been considered funny if it didn't mean me dying in a couple of minutes. However, he just scowled and just made his way towards the stairs. What is up with him? Usually he would have chased me around the house or thrown a volleyball at my head.

I grabbed the ball from under his arm and grabbed on to his hand. He looked back a bit annoyed, wondering what I was going to do this time.

"Wanna go outside and play with the ball for a bit?" He was shocked at my words. Usually I would decline because a) I'm lazy, b) he is a pro athlete well nearly and c) I die nearly every time I accept, whether it be of exhaustion or his strength. He never went easy. He just nods his head and follows me outside.

When we get outside he just awkwardly kicks the rocks on the ground. Kind of like a 5 year old on their first day of school. I couldn't help but laugh at how childish he is when he is already 22.

"What are you laughing about?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?" He just angrily pouted and turned his head around.

"Hey, what's on your mind? I've never seen you like this before. It's weird for you to just stop practicing all of a sudden." He looked at his feet and I knew he didn't want to admit anything. Tobio is like this. He doesn't want to show any kind of weakness or emotions.

"You know, telling me how you feel isn't going to make you seem weak in any way. We've been dating for 4 years and have been best friends since we were 5. I'm not going to think of you any different." He didn't answer for the next couple of minutes.

I sighed and was about to go back inside when I heard him "It's just... hard." I looked at him and urged him to continue.

"I just can't improve. I keep practicing and practicing but I haven't seen any sign of improvement. It's like... Hinata is starting to get ahead of me now." This was the time he has ever shown this kind of emotion. It made me happy despite him feeling like this.

I went up to him and pulled him in to a hug. He slowly returned it and placed his arms around my waist, whilst snuggling/hiding his face in to the crook of my neck.

"It's okay. It's hard, I understand. But just know that even if you aren't improving now, it doesn't mean you won't ever improve after this. All athletes face this kind of problem all the time. But this is just an obstacle. You can get through this. Because the Tobio I know, won't give up. He loves volleyball too much to do that."

He hugged me tighter and I could feel him smile on my neck. We stayed like this for a while until he let go and looked at me with a determined smirk. I smiled back at him,

"So... are you feeling better now? Or do you still need to hug me like you need to survive again." I teased at him. He just blushed and looked away.

"Shut up! I don't need to hug you to survive." I faked a hurt expression and put my hand on top of my heart.

"What? You don't like my hugs anymore? I'm so hurt by your words Tobio." And like always, he fell for it again

"I didn't mean it like that!! I just... I just... didn't want to admit that your hugs make me really happy." I looked at him shocked since he never admitted this kind of stuff to me.

"Sorry Tobio, I was just messing around but it's nice to know I can make you feel better again." He turned even more red and wouldn't look at me. I just laughed and hugged him from behind.

"I love you. You know that right?" He turned around to pull me to his chest and hugged back.

"I... love you too." He seemed so embarrassed that it was actually so cute. I couldn't help but just place my face on his chest to hide my laughs.

Afterwards, we kept playing with the volleyball till the sun eventually started rising. It was a beautiful sight to see with Tobio right next to me.

SPOILER!!

Can we appreciate time-skip Kageyama?
