"Pardon the intrusion," I muttered as I stepped inside of Kageyama's house. Once inside, Kageyama closed and locked the door behind me, making me jump slightly. He furrowed his brows when I flinched and I bent down to take off my shoes.

"Tobio?" someone called out as they ran downstairs. "yes it's me," Kageyama replied as he walked into the kitchen. I stood by the door placing my shoes down and standing awkwardly with my bags in my hand. "Who is this?" someone—who I presume to be Kageyama's mom—questioned. I bowed and introduced myself, "I'm (l/n) (f/n)."

"Tobio, is this your girlfriend?" Kageyama's mom question as I snapped my head back up to look at her. "No," Kageyama plainly replied as he got himself some milk from the fridge. I look at Ms. Kageyama and saw her looking at me confused. I swallowed sharply as I stammered, "W-we're just friends..." I paused before continuing.

"I-I was wondering if I can stay here for a few days..?" I said, slightly stuttering as I gripped my bags tighter. I look at Ms. Kageyama as she stared blankly at me. Sweat dripped from my forehead, waiting for her reply. Kageyama sipped on his milk while looking at me. I caught his gaze briefly before I looked back at his mom. Why are they both staring...

Ms. Kageyama then inhaled sharply and replied, "OF COURSE YOU CAN STAY!" My eyes widen as she walked to me and pulled me into an embrace. Ms. Kageyama pulled away from the hug, holding my shoulders while examining my face. Shit, she can see all of my bruises. She then frowned as she looked behind her towards Kageyama—who is just looking at our exchange.

Ms. Kageyama just sighed as she looked down, giving my shoulders a squeeze. She then looked up at me and smiled, "Come with me..." She said while walking with me towards the stairs. "(l/n), but you can just call me (f/n)" I said. "Come with me (f/n), I'll lead you to your room."

Ms. Kageyama walked me upstairs and lead me to the guest room. She turned on the lights and my eyes widen. Such a spacious room! I've never had such luxury at my mother's. She ushered me into the room and I placed my bags on the bed. "You'll stay here for as long as you want!" Ms. Kageyama said as I fell the tears pooled in my eyes. No one...has ever been this nice to me.

She pulled me into another embrace, stroking my hair as I softly cried in her embrace. She shushes me while saying, "You'll be okay. Don't worry." I pulled away from her and gave her a reassuring smile. She then left the room to give me space to unpack my things. Do I really deserve this?

Kageyama's POV

While sitting down in the kitchen, scrolling through my phone. I hear soft sobbing coming from upstairs. My eyes soften hearing those choked sobs. I then took the last sip of my milk and got up to throw it away. I opened the trash can and heard footsteps coming downstairs. I look towards the steps to see my mother gradually coming downstairs.

"Tobio?" My mother quietly said as I looked towards her, "Yeah," I replied. "Are you going to tell me what's happening?" She said as I sighed and took a seat. "While I was jogging, I spotted her sitting outside of the house a few doors down," I said as my mother walked closer, nodding at me to continue.

"The previous night, she was yelling outside the same house, so I questioned why she was there again...until her mother came," I said while looking back up at my mom and sighed again. "Her mom started hitting her and saying some fucked up stuff," I felt my mother soften her gaze as she runs her fingers through her black hair.

"So that's how she got those bruises?" I nodded as my mother sighed again and walked into the kitchen. "I'll make some curry for you guys tonight, show her where the bathroom is." I nodded and got up from my seat and proceeded to walk upstairs.

(Y/n)'s POV

I unpacked my clothes and put them in the drawer. I paused what I was doing when I heard footsteps leading to 'my' room. I look towards the door until I heard a knock. "Come in," I said as I continued to unpack the rest of my stuff.

Kageyama then entered the room, I looked up at him and gave him a smile. "Hey," I said while I walked over to the desk next to the bed to put my nightclothes onto it. "I'll show you where the bathroom is," Kageyama said as he walked out of the room. I picked back up my nightclothes and followed him.

"Here's the bathroom, take a shower before dinner," I nodded as I walked into the bathroom placing my clothes onto the sink. Kageyama briefly left the bathroom to bring me a black towel. Kageyama then handed me the towel and closed the door. I locked the door, you could never be too careful.

I lathered up my (h/c) hair and combed through my hair. I wish I had a mom like Kageyama's. I then washed out the shampoo and applied some conditioner. After the warm, relaxing shower, I stepped out of the shower and picked up my towel—wrapping it around my body.

I then dried off my body and applied my some lotion. I put on my nightclothes and looked at myself in the foggy mirror. I took the black towel and wiped down the mirror, so I can get a better look at myself. I looked at all of the scars and bruises all over my body. I closely examined my face as a frown grew on my lips. You look like shit, (f/n).

I walked back into 'my' room and placed my dirty clothes in the hamper that Kageyama placed in the room. I raked through my damp hair with my hands as I sat on my bed. My eyes shot up to the door as I heard a knock. I got off of the bed and walked towards the door, opening it.

"Dinner's ready," Kageyama said as he looked me up and down. I felt insecure under his gaze, so I turned around and grabbed a hoodie. When I turned back to the door, Kageyama had already left. I sighed as I exited the room and made my way downstairs.

"(f/n)!" Kageyama's mom said as she looked towards me. "Sit anywhere you like, I hope you like curry!" Kageyama and his mom are complete polar opposites. I nodded as I made my way to the dining table, sitting across from Kageyama. I fiddled with my fingers, waiting for Ms. Kageyama to serve the food.

Kageyama then got up as my gaze followed him, walking into the kitchen. I looked back my fingers, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. Maybe I should just leave. I see something placed in front of me. I furrowed my brows as I looked up to see that Kageyama has placed a milk box in front of me. "Thanks," I said as I grabbed the milk Kageyama just nodded in response.

Ms. Kageyama then came out of the kitchen holding a hot pot in her hands as she placed the curry onto the table. My mouth watered, I haven't had curry since my father left—it was his favorite meal after all. Kageyama got up to get some plates and placed them onto the table.

Ms. Kageyama knows how to make some delicious curry. "Thank you, Ms. Kageyama. It was delicious." I sat up from my chair, holding the plate in my hands, "I could wash them." I suggested as Ms. Kageyama's eyes widen, "No no, you're a guest. Tobio will wash them." Ms. Kageyama said while sending a glare to Kageyama. Kageyama made a "tch" should as he took my plate and walked into the kitchen.

I gave a tight-lipped smile, as I felt awkward when someone does my own dishes. I walked into the kitchen holding my hand out to Kageyama, "I'll help." I said as he handed me the clean plate and I placed it in the rack.

After doing the dishes, Ms. Kageyama gave me another hug before saying goodnight. Kageyama and I were the only ones in the kitchen. The silence was growing awkward, so I decided to say something. "Thank you again, Kageyama-kun," I said again as he nodded his head. I gave another tight-lipped smile before I waved goodnight. I walked into the guest room, flopping onto my bed.

I let the sleep engulf me. It's been a very tiresome day.
