Magnets - a Kagehina AU

𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫

I awoke to the sound of something sizzling.

What is that?

Smells... really good.

...

Oh. He's gone.

"Hinata?" I called out to the kitchen.

He wandered into the living room, holding a spatula and wearing an apron.

"Hey, Kageyama! Dinners almost- Ah! It's gonna overcook!" He ran back into the kitchen.

I scratched the back of my head.

Huh. What time is it?

I looked over at the clock sitting on the table. It read 7:00 PM.

Jesus. I was asleep for 6 hours? I think I took too much of those pain meds.

It's been a while. No wonder my face is sore now.

I sighed then got up and stretched.

I sauntered into the kitchen to see Hinata hurriedly pushing buttons on a slow cooker.

"What are you making?"

"Tempura! And some rice."

"You're gonna make me fat."

He walked over and went on the tips of his toes to kiss my right cheek. "I know. But who cares? Besides, you're recovering and you need to eat!"

He put some battered shrimp into the oil.

"Where the hell'd you get all this?"

"Oh, I went to the grocery store a couple of hours ago when you were asleep."

"Hey, what happened to you staying safe? You have to be careful Hinata!"

He laughed. "I can go grocery shopping by myself."

He must have noticed the concern on my face because he smiled and rubbed my arm.

"Hey. I'm fine. Promise."

I sighed and kissed his head as he went back to cooking.

"The rice is almost done, it'll probably be another five minutes. Just grab some plates, okay?"

I nodded and went to the cupboard.

Once it was ready, he laid a plate in front of me. "Here you go!"

My mouth immediately started to water. "Woah."

He giggled. "You look like you're in love. What, you've never had a home-cooked meal?"

I looked up at him. "I mean, I can cook but...definitely not like this."

He smiled. "You haven't even tried it yet! Take a bite."

I picked up my chopsticks and took a large bite into a piece of shrimp.

"...This is incredible."

Hinata, laughing, took a seat across from me. "Good. I said the ramen was one of my specials. Here's another one. But from the look on your face, this is definitely your favorite!"

He took a small bite as well. "This used to be my mom's recipe."

I nodded. "I see. She must've been a really good cook then."

He smiled and stared into the distance. "Yeah."

We ate and finished our food. By the time we were done, both of our plates were empty.

Hinata picked up my plate and his and put them both in the sink. "I'll clean this up. How do you feel?"

I sighed. "It hurts a bit more now."

He rinsed off his plate, and then mine. "You're just gonna have to bear it for a little bit longer. I think sleeping made it wear off, but if you take a smaller dose next time maybe you won't feel as tired?"

"Hopefully. I just woke up from a seven-hour long nap and feel like I could go back and sleep another ten."

Once he was done washing our plates, he started to clean the rest of the kitchen.

"Hmm...It was definitely too much for you. Maybe I'll call the pharmacist tomorrow and see what they think."

I walked over to him from behind, wrapped my arms around his chest, then put my chin overtop his head. "You almost done? We should watch a movie or something."

He rinsed off another plate then nodded. "What should we watch then?"

"How about a horror movie? I heard-"

"DEFINITELY NOT."

I laughed. "Why not?"

He started to fidget with his hands. "I just really hate scary things. It's even worse when I'm alone!"

I squeezed him tighter. "Well, you're not alone."

I had a feeling he was blushing because I could see his ears turn red from behind. "Okay, fine. We can watch a horror movie. But don't get mad if I scream and hug you every time there's the slightest jumpscare."

I moved my lips closer to his ear. He was definitely blushing. "How could I get mad at that?"

"...I-I don't know! Just be prepared."

We watched the entire movie through, and Hinata had grabbed onto me screaming at least twenty times. Once it was finished, we laid on the couch together and cuddled.

"You were right. You ended up screaming like a baby the whole time."

He turned his head to look at me, then looked up at the ceiling. "Sorry!"

I played with his hair. "Don't worry. I thought it was cute."

"Stop doing that!"

"Doing what?"

"Making me blush! It's so embarrassing!"

I laughed. "Sorry for embarrassing you. You're just too cute not to."

He sighed. "It's okay- hey!

We were both laughing, then he adjusted himself overtop of me.

"Kageyama, you wanna take another pill before bed?"

I shook my head. "Maybe half. But I'm already tired so there's no point."

He nodded. "Alright. Let's get to bed then." I guess he could tell I was getting tired, so he took my hand and lead me to my room.

And just like the previous night, we laid together on my bed, holding one another, and I quickly drifted off to sleep.
