*****

The barbecue-steak cookout at Hinata's backyard went fairly normal.

It was a cool and crisp evening and they arrived at Hinata's residence before 7:30pm. Daichi and Sugawara were leading the group while Tanaka and Nishinoya bickered behind them. Tsukishima had his headphones on while Yamaguchi was talking to Asahi about their serves. The freak duo went and ran ahead since Hinata said he'll help out at home, Kageyama following him because he wanted to tag along.

The sound of laughter and barbecue-grilling filled the air. They were all at the Hinata residence's backyard. Tanaka and Asahi sat along the Engawa, talking animatedly while eating their share of barbecues and steaks. Nishinoya was talking with Zephyrus and Eurus about why he's called the Guardian God of Karasuno.

"Guardian God?" Eurus said, eyes wide beside his brother. "Is that like, a high position or something?" he added, awestruck.

"Well. I guess it's important, for Volleyball that is. Besides, you guys have higher status, right?" Noya said while he chewed on a piece of meat.

"Not really. We're just retainers. If you're talking about a person with a high status among us, that would be Guthrei. He's been in the royal household even before his highness was born. And he was appointed as Lord Chamberlain when his father stepped down years ago due to old age." Zephyrus offered with an explanation, as he drank some lemon juice while he looked over at Guthrei who was talking to Stellino about the apparent rawness of his highness' steak.

"I don't get it but that's so cool!" Noya piped before he devoured his barbecue within seconds. "And this meat is soooo good!" he ended with a sigh before he drank some orange juice.

"Of course! Stellino's the best chef in the palace! I don't know why he's only second, though." Eurus wondered out loud as he took a bite of his steak.

"Kageyama! Do you want this?!" Hinata called out to his boyfriend from behind the grill to get his attention. He was holding two paper plates and Stellino was just finishing up two, thick, juicy steaks. He was scowling because of Guthrei's earlier interruption.

"Your steaks are done, your highness." He added some final touches and he put them on each of their plates. Added a few garnishes and voila. "Magnifique~" he said while eyeing his perfect creation. "Raw steak, my ass. Guthrei just doesn't appreciate this kind of cooking method." He huffed before cooking another batch of barbecues and steaks.

Kageyama met Hinata half way to take his own plate. They sat down the grass in a corner where there were Lilac shrubs growing behind them as they ate their food in silence while watching their teammates have a good time. Daichi and Sugawara were watching Stellino cook now, asking a few questions here and there. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were eating silently as well, located beside Asahi sitting on the Engawa. Yachi wasn't able to come because her mom wanted her to come home for dinner and Kiyoko-san didn't make it as well, since she had errands to run.

Hinata was drinking orange juice when Natsu approached him with a big smile. "Nii-chan! Mom said to give this to you!"she giggled while handing over a small white envelope for Hinata to read. "Tobio-niichan, hello!" she waved at Kageyama and grinned widely. Shouyou's carbon copy smile.

Kageyama smiled a bit, tipped his head to her direction and said 'hello' as he chewed on a soft meat. She ran back inside while greeting their teammates happily.
