Kagehina Coffee Shop AU

Chapter Nine

Waiting one day for a text was torture for Hinata, so you can imagine how awful waiting the rest of the weekend was. Especially since he still hadn't received anything whatsoever from Kageyama.

He was upset, definitely, but more than anything he was just confused. It wasn't the type of confused he was used to, the type he got when a teacher was explaining a hard to grasp subject. No, this feeling was the kind that made his head spin. All Hinata wanted to do was curl up into a ball until everything made sense.

He sighed wistfully as he walked into work, catching the eye of Noya, one of his coworkers. It seemed that Suga wasn't there that day, but it wasn't uncommon for him to take mondays off.

"If you sigh like that you're gonna chase all the happiness away," He said playfully. Hinata decided not to argue and just got to work, helping customers. It was a nice distraction to say the least, but he kept hoping for Kageyama to walk through the door.

Despite Hinata keeping his eye out for him, he was still surprised when Kageyama actually walked in the door right when Hinata was getting off.

"What are you doing here?" Hinata asked, walking up to him after changing out of his uniform.

"Well I uh, wanted to walk you home again," Kageyama flushed a little, though it didn't go unnoticed by Hinata.

"Okay!" He felt himself getting excited. Maybe he hadn't screwed it all up.

"Um, Hinata?" They had just left the coffee shop. Concern sprouted in the base of Hinata's stomach. Kageyama sounded nervous. He couldn't help but let the what if's spiral in his mind.

"Yeah?" His voice sounded just a bit too high. This was it, Kageyama was gonna say he hated him and that he never wanted to see him agai-

"Can you maybe put your phone number into my phone," He held his cell phone out awkwardly, "I couldn't read what you wrote on the cup,"

Oh. That's what it has been the whole time? He just couldn't read Hinata's handwriting? Hinata found himself laughing. Just a little at first, until he couldn't hold back anymore.

"What are you laughing for, idiot?" Kageyama's voice had an undertone of nervousness.

"I-" Hinata had to catch his breath "I don't really know, I just thought when I didn't hear anything from you that you hated me," He took the phone from Kageyama's hands quickly creating a contact with his number. He even saved the contact name as "Hinata <3" Something Suga would be truly proud of.

They continued walking, chatting about the various parts of their lives. And since Hinata had been feeling particularly brave he took Kageyama's hand for no reason other than he wanted to. Though he wanted to do one last thing before his bravery wore out.

"Kageyama, can I ask you something?" Kageyama raised a brow in his direction.

"What is it?" This was it, he was going to ask Kageyama on a date, he felt like he was gonna be sick but pushed on with the words anyway.

"Do you want to- I don't know, Maybe- uh" Hinata stuttered, his face turning red.

"Spit it out," Kageyama gave him a light whack on the back of the head as if it would make the words come out.

"Would you go on a date with me?" He finally said, though the way he said it was rushed, as if he couldn't get the words out fast enough. Kageyama scoffed and he assumed the worst.

"Of course. Idiot," Hinata felt so relieved he could burst. When he finally arrived home he was in a better mood than ever.

"What's got you so happy?" Hinata's mom asked.

"Nothing in particular," He hummed before retreating into his room.
