Who Are You, Really?
The night terrors are back. They've been with me for years but this one was bad. I'm standing in my childhood home and it's burning to the ground around me. I'm pushing through the debris and end up in my bedroom and I'm not alone. Hinata's curled up in a ball on my bed with wide and fearful eyes. Kageyama help me.
My eyes shoot open and I'm in my room. I reach out to stretch my arm and in the process of lowering my arm, land on a fluffy mound of orange hair. I look down to see there is a little wolf boy snuggled up to my chest. My face turns bright red as Hinata makes a sort of yawning noise and snuggles closer 'As if he could get closer.' I try to sit up but a certain pain in my ass decided I wasn't allowed to.
"Come on Hinata you need to get off me."
"No"
"Dumbass you need to move."
"Nope"
"Why not?!" Now I'm getting frustrated.
"Because you're comfy and warm."
What?
"What do you mean?"
"The other side of the bed was cold and you're warm." Hinata replied into my chest.
I sigh and tell Hinata that I'll give him ten more minutes and then we have to get up. Ten minutes pass and Hinata is quietly snoring, maybe I can just slip out from his grip. I carefully lift up his arm and move it to the side. I'm almost out of the bedroom door when I see Hinata stretch out. I breath a sigh of relief and make my way to the kitchen. As I swing open the fridge I remember that we ate all the bacon last night. Luckily there are some eggs, cream cheese, and a few bagels on top of the fridge. I get to work cooking the eggs and humming a unnamed melody. I get so wrapped up in my cooking that I don't even notice Hinata walking into the kitchen until he taps me on the shoulder. I turn around to see Hinata wearing one of my hoodies (which is huge on him) and a pair of my volleyball shorts. I just met him yesterday, my mind should not be drifting to how amazing he looks in my clothes only half awake.
"What's for breakfast?" Hinata asks as he wipes the sleep from his eyes.
"Bagels and uh...eggs." I mumble as I turned back to the frying pan.
Hinata looks up at me and bursts out into laughter. I turned to glare at him but he only laughed harder. If it was anyone else they would be walking out of my home with a black eye but there's something about this shitty wolf kid that makes me want to laugh with him. The sound of that laughter is a sound I never want to forget. I laugh along with him and Hinata looks up at me with wide, sparkling eyes.
"What's that look for?"
"N..nothing it's just...I've never heard you laugh before."
"Well don't make such a big deal out of it or I won't be doing it again." I say attempting to sound stern which just causes Hinata to laugh even more.
We stood like that for a few more minutes, just laughing. When the food was done Hinata and I grabbed our breakfast and sat down at the table. Hinata gulps down his food withing seconds, moves his plate aside and flops his head down on his curled arms. "You know you aren't getting any of my food." I say to him between bites and he nods but stays anyways. He sits like that until I finish eating. When I'm finished with my food I look at the wolf boy across the table with me who is completely lost in his thoughts. I call him but he's clearly pretty spaced out so I walked around the table and lightly placed my hand on his shoulder. He spun around, grabbed my arm, and shoved me up against the kitchen wall.
If my mind wasn't so focused on Hinata pressing me up against a wall on his tiptoes so he meets my eyes I would have been yelling by now. Hinata looked straight into my eyes and then flustered and let me go. "I'M SO SORRY, I GOT SCARED AND...I'M SORRY!" Hinata shouted as he sunk back down into his chair and put his head in his hands. I walked over to his chair and pulled him up to face me. "You don't need to apologize for getting scared, what's going on in that bright orange head of yours." I ask trying my hardest to sound kind. Hinata looks back at me with wide nervous eyes and the next thing I know his lips are pressed against mine. He kisses like how summer feels, warm and energetic and makes you want more. He pulls away just a quickly as he pulled me in and I grab his arm to stop him from running.
"Hinata wait."
"I'm sorry Kageyama, I shouldn't have!"
"It's okay you dumbass. I'm not mad."
"You're not?"
"No but I will say we barely know each other."
"So what now"
"I'm not really sure."
"How about we play a game!" Hinata shouts as he drags me toward the couch.
I sit down as Hinata sits next to me and explains the rules.
"So basically I get to ask you a question and then you get to ask me one." Hinata says, he's so excited he's practically bouncing in place.
"So I'll go first. What's your favorite sport?"
"Volleyball. What's your favorite food?"
"meat buns! What do you like to do in your free time?"
"Read books or spend time outside when the weather permits. What music do you like?"
"I like a lot of 90-00's pop punk and alt rock stuff. What about you?"
"Some old classical stuff, and some pop punk from my teen years. Do you play any instruments?"
"Well as a wolf hiding out a lot of my life, I didn't have much time but my mother who was human used to play french horn so she taught me some. Same question."
"As a kid my parents had me learn violin, piano, and trumpet. Why did you kiss me?"
"Because I..uh...I kinda 'like' you. Why did you kiss back?"
"Because I like you as well dumbass but don't let it go to your head. What are we going to do now?"
Hinata looks at me for a second before scooting closer to me and laying his head across my lap. "I don't know about the future but I do know that I'm not going anywhere." He says with such an easy carefree smile that I'm even starting to grin. This little moment would've been perfect if someone had not found this to be the most convenient time to knock on the door. "I'll grab it." I say as I slid Hinata off my lap and go to see who's at my door.
"Hello?" I say as the door swings open.
"Hello Tobio."
