Hinata woke to his alarm. It was game day, his professional debut with the MSBY Black Jackals. He couldn’t believe it was finally here. He’d finally made it. He laid in bed staring at the ceiling and grinning like a damn fool. But today, today he was going to fulfill a lifelong dream. Today he was going to play professional volleyball. Against the Schweiden Adlers. And he was finally going to see Kageyama again.
His thoughts wandered back to the night before he left for Brazil. He and Kageyama had finally told each other how they felt, after three years of longing, three years of yearning, three years of repressed emotions. Kageyama had been the most important person in his life, and part of Hinata was devastated to be leaving him. They had confessed. They had showed each other just how much they loved each other. They had lain in bed together, holding each other close and keeping their eyes open for fear of wasting time sleeping.
Kageyama had said in the morning, “Shoyo, go do what you have to do. Get what you need in Brazil. And then promise me. Promise me you’ll come back to me.”
And Hinata had promised.
That was two years ago and now he was back in Japan. He was finally fulfilling his promise to Kageyama. He was coming back to play volleyball. And back to his love.
He couldn’t wait for so many things. He couldn’t wait to get back to playing on a court instead of the sand. He couldn’t wait to emerge on the court wearing his MSBY jersey. He couldn't wait to see his family and friends and for everyone to see just how much he had grown -- in so many ways -- while he was gone. He had developed his game, his body and his mind. He had left Japan a boy. He had come back a man.
He couldn't wait to get back to Tobio. In Brazil, there wasn’t a day that had gone by that he didn’t think of the black-haired man he left behind half-way across the world. He had replayed their last night in his head hundreds of times. Everything about that night was burned into his brain. Every touch, every word, every breath. How he had longed for Kageyama while he was gone, with an intensity that was sometimes too much to bear. But he had survived two years and now, he was back. Could they pick up where they left off?
Part of him was a little worried. Two years was a long time. Maybe Kageyama had moved on. Maybe that promise that Hinata made two years ago was long forgotten by the raven-haired setter. Maybe he even had someone else. Hinata swallowed hard at the thought. No, that couldn’t be. Kags would have told him.
He finally got out of bed and went about his morning routine. He had a couple of hours before he had to report to the arena. He tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to put the blue-eyed man out of his mind. Soon. Soon you will see him, he kept telling himself. But it would be across the net. And he wouldn’t be setting to Hinata. Instead, that honor would fall to Atsumu. It didn’t matter, Hinata told himself. He’d be able to tell. He’d see Kageyama and he’d know.
He wanted so badly for Kageyama to be proud of him. He was anxious to show Kags just how good he had gotten in Brazil. It was somehow vital to Hinata that Kageyama finally look at him as an equal. If they could be equal on the court, they could be equal partners off the court. This was Hinata’s chance. He had given up everything on a bet half-way across the world. Today he would see if that bet paid off.
***
The game was intense but Hinata knew he played well. He knew that he had made his teammates proud and had entertained the crowd. He knew he had impressed Kageyama too. He could just tell by the way Kags looked at him. Turns out he could read Kageyama still, after all this time, and the realization was a great relief to the redhead. Kags hadn’t changed all that much, after all. He was ridiculously good, but finally, after all this time, Hinata felt he was on Kageyama’s level. Kageyama had admitted it, saying at one point during the match “You made it.”
Hinata also may have talked a little smack during the match, challenging Kags to an arm wrestling match. And that is where he was headed now. The two had agreed to meet up after the game to catch up. And Hinata was so excited he could barely contain his energy as he bounced on his toes outside the Adlers locker room. Finally, after what seemed like forever but was probably less than ten minutes, Kags emerged from the locker room, his black hair still wet from his shower, his midnight blue eyes shining with pride.
“Shoyo,” he said coming up and enveloping Hinata in a hug. “Fuck. You were amazing. I’m so fucking proud of you.”
Hinata hugged him back and choked back the tears. He had waited so long for those words. They stayed there for several long seconds just holding each other, both glad to finally feel each other in the flesh after two long years. Hinata never wanted to let go again.
But they realized they needed to part as other players came out of the locker room and whooped and razzed them. The two men took the teasing lightly and decided to go to a nearby bar to have a drink and talk.
They sat across from each other and talked for two hours about everything. Hinata told Kageyama everything about Brazil. Kageyama told Hinata all about the Olympics and the Adlers. They talked about their teammates. They told each other about their families and updated each other on what their friends were up to. They had a few drinks each when finally their conversation slowed. They were both physically tired from the game and the alcohol had exaggerated their fatigue.
Kageyama broached the topic first. “Shoyo, I’m so glad you’re back. I’ve… there hasn’t been a single day I haven’t thought about you.”
Hinata looked up into those blue eyes and read the sincerity in them. His breath hitched a bit as he realized Kageyama hadn’t moved on after all.
“I missed you. So much, Tobio. It was… I was so lonely there.” Hinata’s voice cracked a little at the admission and the memory of the many lonely nights.
Kageyama reached across the table and grabbed Hinata’s hand. “I hate that you were lonely. I was lonely too. I mean, I had people around, but I didn’t want them. I wanted you.”
He looked so earnest that Hinata had to smile. “So… what do we do now? I mean, about us?”
Kageyama flushed slightly and withdrew his hand. “What do you want to do?” he asked cautiously.
Hinata studied Kageyama who suddenly looked so vulnerable. Hinata realized that Tobio was nervous, and he rushed to reassure his former (and future?) lover.
“Tobio, I’ve waited two long years to come back to you. You’re what I was thinking about while I was gone. I… I’d like to pick up where we left off.”
A gleam in Kageyama’s blue eyes made Hinata smile. Clearly, Kageyama had been worried and now was relieved. “You do? Are you sure?”
“Yes,” replied Hinata, smiling. “Absolutely.” They grinned at each other like fools for a few minutes, just getting used to the idea of being together. After a minute, Hinata asked, “Should we get out of here?”
Kageyama agreed, “Yes. Absolutely.”
Hinata asked, “My place?” and Kageyama nodded. They quickly paid their bill and called a car to take them to Hinata’s apartment. The car ride was filled with tension as they sat silently, a mere foot between them. The thought was somewhat unreal considering until today there had been so many miles between them.
The car dropped them off a few minutes later and they went into Hinata’s apartment, still not speaking, neither knowing what to say. There was so much that should be said, or was there nothing that needed to be? It was hard to tell.
They both removed their shoes and then Hinata turned toward Kageyama and held out his hand. Kageyama looked at it thoughtfully and then reached out to take it. They stared at each other another minute before Hinata took a step to close the gap. He tilted his chin up to meet those beautiful blue eyes. His lips parted slightly as Kageyama looked down at him with tenderness. Slowly, Kags closed the distance between them and touched his lips ever so gently to Hinata’s. Hinata closed his eyes and savored the soft touch, realizing just how much he had missed those lips. The kiss only lasted a few seconds. It was gentle and chaste, but the emotions it stirred in the men were far from chaste.
It had been two long years since they had touched each other. Two long years since they had confessed their love and given each other their bodies. And at last, today, they were back together. Kageyama felt like a piece of himself that he didn’t know was missing was just slammed back into place. And Hinata had a feeling that he was home, not just in Japan, but home, with Kageyama.
They broke the kiss and stared into each other’s eyes for a few heartbeats. Then Hinata reached up behind Kageyama’s neck to pull him down into another kiss, except this one was not slow and gentle. This kiss was filled with longing and desire. This kiss released two long years of denial, two long years of loneliness and longing.
They kissed passionately, tongues dancing, bodies pressed together. Their hands were in each other’s hair now as they held on, each not wanting the other to pull away, ever again. They stood there with bodies pressed together, lost in each other, for several long minutes until they needed to come up for air. Kageyama rested his forehead against Hinata’s.
“Shit, you can’t imagine how much I’ve missed you,” Kageyama said, his voice strangled.
“I missed you just as much. Come on. Let’s go to my bedroom,” Hinata urged.
“Are you sure, Shoyo? Maybe… maybe I should go.”
“I’m so sure, Tobio. Please don’t leave. I’ve just found you again.”
Kageyama closed his eyes and tried to wrap his brain around the fact that his Shoyo was back in his arms again. He opened them and held Hinata’s brown eyes for just a heartbeat before he grabbed him by the hand and started walking to the bedroom. Hinata chuckled, but was relieved.
They made it back to the bedroom and Kageyama stopped next to the bed and turned to face Hinata. He lifted up both hands to cup Hinata’s face and kissed him again, this time with more enthusiasm. He had missed his Tangerine and was not going to hold back now that he had him back.
They kissed for a moment before Hinata tugged at Kag’s shirt and started to pull it up and over Kag’s head. He tossed the shirt aside and ran his hands along Kageyama’s abs saying “Fuck, Tobio, you’re in better shape now than you were two years ago. Shit, your abs.”
Kageyama smiled and pulled off Hinata’s shirt. “Shit, Shoyo. I could say the same about you. Look at your muscles. Still want to arm wrestle?” he asked teasingly.
“Nah, but regular wrestling might be fun,” Hinata said as he pushed Kags onto his back on the bed. Hinata crawled on top of Kageyama and ran his hands up Kag’s abs and pecs and then down his arms before leaning down to kiss him again.
“God, I can’t believe you’re here,” Hinata said in between kisses. “I’ve thought about this so many times.” He kissed a trail down Kag’s neck, down his collarbone, and to his nipples. He took one small bud in his mouth, drawing a gasp from the raven. He moved to the other nipple and repeated the treatment as Kag’s hands ran through Hinata’s fluffy red hair. Finally Hinata worked his way back up to Kageyama’s lips and kissed him again, biting on his lower lip.
Kageyama had had enough of being on his back and flipped Shoyo over, coming down over him, kissing his neck and ear and running a hand over Hinata’s ridiculously toned body. “Shit, Shoyo, I think you could beat me in arm wrestling. The fuck?”
Hinata chuckled and enjoyed the feel of Kageyama’s kisses and nips as he carded his hand through Kageyama’s raven locks. God, his hair was so soft. Hinata realized he had forgotten that detail and couldn't imagine how that happened. Kageyama was trailing a line of kisses and love bites down Hinata’s abs and up and down along his v-line, making the redhead squirm.
“Shit, Tobio, that tickles.” It was Kageyama’s turn to chuckle as he moved away from the spot. He started to undo Hinata’s jeans with one hand while the other he used to prop himself up.
“Shoyo, let’s take these off, please? I need to feel more of you. I need to feel ALL of you.”
Hinata sat up and shimmied out of the jeans, leaving his boxers on. He reclined back on the bed as Kageyama said, “Holy shit, Shoyo! Your legs are fucking … holy shit.” He looked back at Hinata to see a look of smug satisfaction on the redhead’s face.
“The sand gives your legs a workout.”
Kageyama, still wide eyed, was beyond impressed as he ran a hand along Hinata’s ridiculously muscular thighs. He just had to touch them, to feel, holy shit. He kept one hand on Hinata’s thigh as he leaned down again to kiss the redhead, who was still smiling at Kageyama’s reaction.
But before long the smile faded and gave way to desire. Kageyama was working a spot on Hinata’s neck and Hinata was squirming, immensely enjoying the feel of Kageyama’s mouth.
“Tobio, you take off your clothes too. I want to touch you,” he said softly. After a moment, Kags pulled his mouth from Hinata’s neck and stood to undo his jeans. He pulled them down and kicked them off, leaving him in only his boxers. Hinata watched him from the bed and said, “Take everything off. Please? I want to see you. All of you.”
Kageyama’s eyes darkened a shade as a jolt of lust shot through his body. But who was he to deny Shoyo anything? He quickly rid himself of his boxers and stood there for a moment, staring into Hinata’s face as Hinata took in Kageyama’s naked form.
“God, Tobio. I almost forgot how beautiful and perfect you are.”
Kageyama blushed slightly as Hinata pulled him closer and then took his hardened length into his mouth. Kageyama’s breath hitched, his eyes closed and his head fell backward slightly as he relished the feel of Hinata’s mouth on him. Hinata was not holding back after all this time and was apparently enjoying himself as well. His mouth hummed as one hand went around to grab Kageyama’s ass, drawing a moan from the setter. Hinata continued, up and down, over and over until Kageyama started breathing harder. “Shoyo, shit, I’m close,” he said, voice strangled as he got closer and closer. Hinata continued until Kageyama tensed up and then cum shot down his throat and he swallowed it all. He popped off Kageyama’s now spent cock with a smile.
“God I missed you, Tobio. I have been thinking about that for two years.” He looked so serious that Kageyama had to smile. “I might have been thinking about that for two years as well.”
Kageyama pushed Hinata onto his back and came down over him again. He went in for a wet, sloppy kiss before saying, “You have too many clothes on.” He proceeded to pull Hinata’s boxers over his hips and down his legs, tossing them to the floor. Hinata’s cock was hard and leaking precum and Kageyama licked his lips before looking up to Hinata’s face for permission. Getting it, he leaned down to flick his tongue over the slit and then to lick a long stripe from base to tip. He then took him in his mouth all at once and began to bob up and down while his hand played with Hinata’s balls. Before long, Hinata was moaning and thrusting upwards instinctively. “Tobio, shit, so good, fuck,” and then he was releasing his load into Kageyama’s mouth. Kags swallowed it all, licked his lips, and then worked his way back up to Shoyo’s mouth and kissed him.
“Did ya like that, Shoyo?” he asked, clearly pleased with himself.
“Yes,” breathed Hinata, still dazed and riding his high.
“Do you have lube?”
“Yes, top drawer. Condoms too.”
Kageyama got up to search for what they needed. “I hope you were thinking about me when you bought these,” Kageyama said as he tossed the items onto the bed next to Hinata.
“I’m always thinking about you,” Hinata said in a breathy whisper.
Kageyama’s eyes darkened a shade, “Shit, Shoyo,” he said as he descended over the redhead, now feeling the urgent need to fuck this man he had missed so badly for two fucking years. “What you do to me, I swear.” He kissed him passionately as their bodies pressed together. Then Hinata pleaded, “Please, Tobio, don’t make me wait,” drawing a noise similar to a growl from the ravenhead.
He moved to grab the lube and squeezed a bunch on his fingers and started to prep Hinata. One finger and a sloppy kiss made Hinata’s breath hitch. Two fingers and Hinata let out a small moan. Three fingers, curled just so, and Hinata let out a lewd sound that let Kageyama know he’d hit the spot. He continued his assault until Hinata was writhing and saying, “Oh God, Tobio. Fuck.” He then pulled out his fingers, slipped on the condom and lubed himself up. Hinata was looking up at him, flushed and hair messed and Kageyama fell in love all over again. He couldn't believe he actually lasted two years not seeing that face, those eyes, those lips. He never, ever wanted to be separated from Hinata ever again. He choked up a bit at the thought.
“Shit, Shoyo, are you ready?”
“Yes, Tobio, please.” Hinata’s plea was the only encouragement Kageyama needed. He got between Hinata’s legs and eased himself inside, closing his eyes at the pure ecstasy he was feeling. My God, was there anything else in the entire world that felt this good?
Kageyama began to move slowly and Hinata wrapped his legs around Kag’s waist. Kageyama realized with some embarrassment that he was not going to last long. “Shoyo, fuck. When you do that…”
But Hinata didn’t seem to be listening. Kageyama had apparently hit his sweet spot because the sounds escaping Hinata’s mouth were all throaty, lewd moans and curse words. Listening to that melody made Kageyama lose his shit. He apologized. “Shoyo, shit, I’m not going to last long.”
Hinata didn’t answer but continued to produce the sounds that urged Kageyama ever closer to release. Kags reached down and started stroking Hinata’s hardened length. “Tobio, fuck. Don’t stop. Oh, God!” Hinata moaned out, and cum spurted all over his chest. The sight and sound caused Kageyama to slip over the edge. He thrust deeply, once, twice, three more times and then rode out the orgasm balls deep in his lover. He collapsed on top of Hinata, breathing heavily, not caring about the mess.
For a couple of minutes, they could do nothing but breathe. Finally Hinata said, “You’re heavy,” and Kageyama rolled off. He got some tissues and they got cleaned up, then Kageyama got back into the bed and pulled Hinata close to him. Hinata’s head rested on Kageyama’s shoulder as his hand rested on Kageyama’s chest. Hinata’s eyes were still closed but he was smiling.
Neither spoke for a while until finally, at last, Kageyama said, “You came back to me.”
Hinata smiled more broadly and lifted his head to look into his lover’s deep blue eyes. “I promised you I would.”
“I wasn’t sure.”
“I did. And I’m never leaving you again.”
Kageyama tightened his grip around Hinata’s shoulder. “You promise?”
“I promise.”
