After practice, Hinata accompanies me on my way home. "You aren't allowed to pull anything like earlier today," I say, referencing Hinata's fake fall on our race to practice.
"Well, I think you got me back for it." Hinata pulls up his shirt to reveal a growing bruise along his rib cage. As I look at his chest a small smile forms at my lips.
"You should not be pleased about other people's pain!" Hinata exclaims. But that's not what I'm smiling at. He pulls his shirt back down and frowns at me.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asks. I blink and shake my head.
"Like what?"
"Oh I don't know. Just in a funny way," Hinata explains badly.
"You are the least helpful person ever," I say smiling.
"You know you look nice when you smile like that," Hinata says, readjusting his bag on his shoulder. What the hell?? I think. Hinata has never complimented me like that. I try to hold back, but another smile escapes my lips, wider than before.
"Thanks," I mutter. Hinata smiles at me. His smile is so happy and joyful. I wish I could see that smile every second of every day. My breathing gets quicker. Even this sidewalk has plenty of space, Hinata seems awfully close to me.
"Hey! Kageyama, do you want to stay over at my place tonight? We don't have school tomorrow and I don't have anything better to do." My throat closes up from my concentration on not smiling so much my face hurts.
"Yeah sure," I croak. Hinata looks at me with one eyebrow raised and a expression that says
"you good?" I take a deep breath and recompose myself.
"I need to run by my house to get clothes and stuff though."
"That's cool. Oh, and I had something else to ask you. Do you wanna go out with me?" I freeze. He continues,
"I've been thinking about it and I think we should. I mean if you don't like me like that it's fine. But I like you." He seems eerily calm. "And sure, you can be mean and grumpy sometimes and you smile like twice a month and you hit me a lot but I like you I don't know why but you know-" He's rambling. I need to say something before he backtracks and says something like, "Man never mind you really are an asshole now that I think about it."
"Okay okay yes. Yes, I would like to go out with you. And I don't need you to list all of my flaws, every Saturday I get a text from Tanaka giving me a 'new week resolution.' He's been coming up with them for like 3 months now. It's really damaging to my self esteem," I say. Hinata bursts out laughing. He lets his head fall into my shoulder because he can't seem to hold himself up because he is laughing too hard.
"I'm sorry." He wipes his eyes. "That's just too funny." I glare at him even though he's not looking at me. I throw my arm around him.
"You aren't allowed to tell anyone because then Tanaka will just start broadcasting his suggestions at every Saturday practice." He rests his arm around me so his hand is sitting on my waist. We walk towards my house and when we get there he waits outside while I get my stuff. When I get back out Hinata is sitting on the steps outside the house. I sit down next to him and he leans his head on my shoulder.
"You are the best boyfriend I've ever had," he says sweetly.
"I'm the only boyfriend you've ever had and I have only been your boyfriend for like 15 minutes."
"That doesn't mean you can't be the best." I get up and hold my hand out to the smaller boy. He takes it and I wrap my arm around his shoulders. I softly kiss him on the forehead.
"Definitely the best."
