The Day You Met

Tobio Kageyama.

The name is known around Karasuno now that he’s a second year. Normally that’s a good thing. But his name was known for being a guys the was mean and snappy. A name known for a guy with no friends and no sociability.

You had never met the guy. Never even seen him in all honestly. You had transfered from Fukurodani half way through this year so it wasn’t to surprising. Still you would think you would at least see him at some point. I mean he even came to the school while you were there. Bokuto had told you about him enough times to know that much.

So when one of your friends invited you to a practice game they were having,, you took the chance to finally see the dude. And dang when you saw him, you SAW him.

There, in the middle of a game that tired YOU out by watching, was this guy running around and jumping like crazy. Everyone was so focused on him and how he was moving. Your eyes how ever were focused on the tall boy with black hair near the net. He seemed so focused on everything. The players, the ball, the net, everything. It was crazy to watch him. He seemed so serious at first but then when he would score a point with a serve his eyes seemed to sparkle. He didn’t smile to much or anything but his eyes just screamed excitement.

When he set the ball for set point and it landed the whole team yelled in excitement. The tall boy whipped around to his team. Before his eyes could lower from the stands they locked on yours. You both just stared at each other for a second before he went back to teams celebration. Your friend pulled at your arm so she could go talk to the friend that told her of the game.

She hooked her arm with yours and started down the stairs toward the gym doors. Who was the friend again? Ya- something? You two waited in the hall when a small girl came through the doors. She gave your friend a small smile, walking over to talk to her.

“Y/N this is Yachi! She’s the teams manager, Yachi this is Y/N,” she introduced you two. She smiled, saying hi. You three talked until she needed to go back to the coachs. Thats when you saw him again. He was walking with the small speed demon from earlier. He seemed like he was snapping at him but the small kid wasn’t phased by it. He turned forward where you were standing, locking eyes with you again. You didn’t miss the light pink that hit his cheeks. None the less, he ignored you as they passed by.

Tobio Kageyama, interesting.

Your friend waved goodbye to you as she got into her mom’s car. As they drove away you grabbed your jacket from your bag. When you looked back up you could see Kageyama at a vending machine in the corner. He leaned down, grabbing a carton and stabbing a straw into it. You watched him as his eyes sparkled again when he grabbed it. You laughed a little as you watched him. Here he was getting so excited over a carton of milk.

You watched him as he left. He was going in the same direction as you. As you followed behind him the sun began to set. There was a quiet meow from a bush up ahead. Your eyes wandered to the noise. When you reached the maker you found a small black kitten. As you stepped closer you found someone else there too.

Squatting behind the bush, holding a finger out trying to get the small cat to notice him, was Kageyama. He looked frustrated that the cat wasn’t paying him any mind. The kitten turned its head away towards you. It immediately started to you after it saw you. Kageyama followed the animal with his eyes until he saw you. You were sitting on your heels, scratching behind the kitten’s ear. He watched the exchange for a second before standing up to leave. When you looked up it was a lot darker and he was slowly leaving your sight. The wind started picking up and there was wierd rustling coming the trees. All of it was slowly starting creep you out. Looking in front you caught sight of the tall boy again and before you thought about it you were running up to him.

To say he was shocked when his sleeve got pulled was an understatement. He jumped comically high into the air. He looked down at you with fear before relaxing a little. He was tense and looked a bit confused.

“um can I help you?” he was leaning away from you but you still had his sleeve in hand.

“oh I’m sorry. It just got kind of dark and I was hoping I could stick closer to you? Sorry I just wanted to not have something happen,” you said letting go of his sleeve. He looked throughly confused still but (ahem he does have a sister after all) he nodded.

“ya that fine,” you smiled at him and he blushed slightly. As he walked you followed close behind. Then he turned to you. “are you going to stay back there?” he looked over his shoulder to you. It took you back but you took the offer. Jogging up besides him and thanking him a comfortable silence drifted over the two of you. You would have thought you would be scared or intimidated but no, it felt really nice to walk next to him. You turned to him.

“by the way, I’m Y/N L/N. Nice to meet you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When You Met The Team

You were with Kageyama at the vending machine before he had to go to practice. He pressed the button, handing you your own drink before grabbing his own. You leaned on the wall as you two talked.

It had been a couple months since that walk home, and you had made an effort to say hi every now and then. You didn’t really know why but it was nice talking to him then. And now you were comfortable enough to meet up everyday before his practice. It was always a peaceful interaction and he was always so quiet and calm.

Of course when a little ball of energy came into the picture that changed fast. He came running around the corner and barreled towards Kageyama, not seeing you yet scince you were hidden by the vending machine.

“KAGEYAMAAAA!” Kageyama flinched turning to the smaller kid. “Come set for me before practice starts!” he hopped up and down.

“ya ok I’ll be there in a second,” Kageyama turned back to you. “sorry I’ll talk to you tomorrow Y/N.” You smiled and nodded to him.

“ok have fun with your practice.”

Hinata froze. That was a girls voice. A girls voice that was talking to Kageyama. He poked his head around the vending machine. When he saw you and confirmed that it was a girl he whipped around to look at him.

“YOU KNOW A GIRL?!” he yelled out. You flinched back while Kageyama jumped back.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?! YES I KNOW A GIRL HINATA YOU DUMBASS!” he yelled back. As they yelling back and forth, you slipped out from behind Hinata.

“um Tobio I’m gunna head out,” you patted his shoulder before giving Hinata a small smile before walking off. They both quieted down, watching you go to the road look around then walk down the sidewalk. As you disappeared the two boys turned to each other before Hinata smirked. He bolted down in your direction, Kageyama chasing after him. He raced in front of you, sliding to a stop.

“Hi! I’m Shoyo Hinata! What’s your name? Do you know Kageyama well, you called him by his first name too,” he smiled widely at you. You however had been incredible surprised by his sudden show that you were stumbling backward. Kageyama was the one to stop you from fully falling over.

“I- uhh hi? I’m Y/N L/N, um yes I do know him,” you stuttered. Kageyama, who was still holding onto your arm, glared at Hinata.

“HINATA DON”T DO THAT YOU IDIOT SHE ALMOST FELL!” he yelled. Your eyes widened. You really hadn’t heard him yell other than that first practice game you watched. He stiffened with his tone, remembering you were still listening.

“SHUT UP! Oooo wait did I embarrass you or something?” he snickered “No way, did you actually get a girlfriend?!” he looked shocked.

“SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND YOU IDIOT!” you looked up to see his beet red face an you laughed. They both turned to you with a confused look.

“is there something wrong Y/N?” Kageyama asked you.l

“no no I- I’m sorry. It’s just I’ve never seen you like this, you’re normally calmer than this,” you laughed. Hinata snorted

“Pfft I don’t think I have ever heard anyone call him calm,” Kageyama seemed to almost growl at him. You and Hinata continued to laugh however. Thats when Kageyama’s worse nightmare happened. “OH Y/N you should come to todays practice!” he bounced on his heels. You smiled widely and nodded, both of you turning to face Kageyama. “isn’t that exciting Kageyama!” Hinata poked.

Kageyama glared at him mumbling something.

“Tobio? You good?” Hinata smirked at the sound of his name. Kageyama blushed slightly, continuing to glare at Hinata.

“no whatever come on were going to be late,” he turned on his heel and started back to the gym, Hinata and you skipped after him. Hinata went on about the other kids on the team. He was in the middle of saying something about a tall guy with glasses when there was a yell.

A guy with a shaved head was standing in the door way, hands on his hips and a wide, kinda scary smile, on his face. A small guy slid into the space behind him, a bleached section of his hair swinging with the momentum.

“well you two are never late wh- oh...” the guy with the buzz cut stopped when you came out from behind Kageyama.

“helloo pretty girl I have never seen before! Whats your name?” the short one asked with a smile. You just smiled and introduced yourself. Hinata bounced into the gym, telling them about how he invited you to watch. They followed along with the excitement, introducing themselves and throwing in some complements here and there. They whole time Kageyama was grinding his teeth and glaring. He stayed quiet though, not wanting to full on yell in front of you. He followed behind you into the gym, the other third years noticing you as well. The three came up to you and introduced themselves. The captain, Enoshita, was in the middle of telling you where you could sit when Nishinoya flew in out of nowhere almost jumped on you in the process. You weren’t paying attention to what he was saying out of surprise.

There was a faint snickering from somewhere, gaining your attention. A tall boy in glasses sat on the floor, laughing into his hand.

“honeslty, you should calm down around Kageyama’s girlfriend a little. If you don’t it looks like he’ll crack a tooth,” he said quietly. You turned to Kageyama and sure enough, he was glaring on the wall quietly, teeth grinding again. You laughed lightly at how he stiffened and yelled at the kid with glasses. Noya snickered along with him, switching his attention to poking at Kageyama.

“its not like that idi-”

“Y/N!?” Yachi came barreling up to you. You smiled, finally seeing someone you were familiar with. She gave a glance to the boys, gently pulling you away. “sorry if they were a bit overwhelming,” she laughed as you two got the stage area.

“oh don’t worry its actually really nice to watch. Not to mention I’ve never seen Tobio so, I don’t know, uncalm I guess,” you laughed. Yachi gave you a look.

“oh you’ll get used to it. He’s normally like this. I do have to admit that hes a little more intense today,” she giggled.

You ended up staying throughout the whole practice. You watched on the stage as they played against themselves, walking over at one point to help Yachi through the balls up. At one point Kageyama missed a set or two and they bounced off his head. It took about ten minutes each time for the boys to refocus from teasing him.

By the end of the practice it was dark outside. Yachi had already left, her mom calling her to get home for dinner a little earlier tonight. You waved a goodbye to the team and walked outside, sighing at how uncomfortable you were with walking alone at night.

“wait up!” you turned to the familiar voice. Kageyama jogged up beside you. “sorry I just remembered you don’t like walking home alone at night,” he rubbed the back of his neck. You smiled up at him.

“thank you Tobio,” you paused for a second. “sorry for embarrassing you in front of your team.”

“you didn’t embarrass me. It was actually nice to know you were watching,” you looked back up to him. He was turned away but you could see the red glow to his cheeks. You laughed lightly, returning to the peaceful silence you two could always hold with only one thought.

‘scary my ass’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Day You Started Dating

Out of all the time you spent with the young setter, this was both one of the sweetest and scariest.

You had a steady schedule now. You went through your classes, went to the vending machine to meet Tobio for lunch, more classes, and then meeting the boys for club. After meeting them all you became a somewhat unoffical manager, helping with set up, clean up, and over all practice. You were enjoying it, and when you all went to matches you were able to meet people and socialize more than you were.

You were especially excited for this coming up trip. It was a training camp with the tokyo schools and you were ecstatic to see Bokuto and the team again. As you all filed onto the bus you were practically bouncing off the walls with Hinata in tow. The newer first years watched in slight fear that you two might explode. Even though you sat with Tobio you were still basically having a race with words with Hinata. Unknown to you, however, the tall boy had been waiting for your attention the entire ride.

“Y/NNNNN!” Bokuto was speeding down the stairs in front of Shinzen.

“BO!!” you yelled back. he picked you up and spun you around in a hug, both of you laughing. The rest of Karasuno watched the interaction in semi-shock.

“you need to come visit at some point! I haven’t seen you since you transfered!” he said as he set you down.

“I know, I know I’m sorry,” you both continued talk as the rest of the team came down. Akaashi casually slide into the conversation when he met up with you both. Soon enough he was calming Bokuto down a couple knoches after detecting Tobio’s aura of death from beside the bus. The team was able to catch onto it too, snickering and poking at him.

This continued throughout the rest of the week. Between Bokuto’s constant hovering with you and the overall simpingness from E V E R Y O N E with all the girls in general, not leaving you out, Kageyama was on the edge of murder. He really wanted your attention more and more throughout the week, but you were busy half of the time. It wasn’t until the third day that he fully snapped.

Karasuno had just lost a set and were taking a breather before their next match and you were talking with the shinzen manager. Shinzens new captain came up to you and joined into the conversation. Kageyama noticed immediately, his attitude getting worse by the minute. He unconsciously moved closer to hear.

“so you’re with Karasuno right?”

“yes I am.”

“oh cool cool. So are you... seeing anyone up there?”

“umm not really,” his head whipped in your direction. You were alone with the captain now, he was slowly leaning closer to you as you backed away.

“not really? So is that a yes or no?” he asked again. It wasn’t even like he was making a big scene or being mean about it, but you were still uncomfortable. You probably looked normal but Kageyama could see it. The way your eyes were shifting between him and around the room. The way you were leaning backward and shuffling backward at the same time. The way you held his gaze when you found it. He immediately stood up and walked over to you. The captain took notice quickly and backed off a little with the glare he was getting.

Tobio grabbed you hand, throwing one last glare, then pulling you away and outside. He sat down and pulled you in between his legs. You were currently confused, flustered, and scared. Confused because what was happening. Flustered because you were now located basically in his lap with his head on your shoulder. And finally scared because the glare he just gave the other player was scarier than any other he’s ever thrown to Hinata or Tsukkishima.

“um Tobio?” you tried to turn around to look at him but he help you in place.

“I really didn’t like it,” he said quietly.

“what?” you turned your head a little.

“I really didn’t like him hitting on you. I didn’t like how I haven’t been able have your attention these past few days. I really don’t like that,” he mumbled into your shoulder. You smiled lightly. You knew you should be trying to comfort him in a way but, listening to how he was talking, you could only smile .

“Tobio can I turn around?” he stiffened slightly before letting go of your waist. You turned, sitting on your knees. “you know, if you wanted my attention, you could have just asked,” you giggled.

“harder said than done with a girl that is constantly surrounded by guys,” the start of a smile spreading on his face.

“oh please, you could steal me away at anytime and I wouldn’t complain,” you flirted. He blushed at the comment.

“so like does that count at school too?” he asked looked back up to you.

“as long as anytime means what I think it means, then yes,” you laughed again.

“and at random times of the day?”

“yes,” the laugh you had was growing.

“and at practice?”

“oh.my.GOD. Tobio just ask me out!” you laughed into his shoulder. He was bright red and had been for a while. His smile was growing despite that though.

“isn’t it cheesy if I just ask ‘will you go out with me’?” he was starting to laugh too. You both just sat there, his hands on your waist and you head on his shoulder, shaking with laughter.

Little did either of you two know you would get caught in a couple of minutes by one shocked coach Ukai after not being able to find Kageyama.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Graduation

It wasn’t anything really special. Just everyone after buzzing with excitement about after parties and pictures. You had run out to meet your family and friends a little late. You saw everyone in a little group, the now third years on the team, their families, and a couple others. You could see Nishinoya and Tanaka jumping up and down and patting Hinata and Kageyama’s heads. You smiled as you got closer to them, knowing that they didn’t need to come. Kageyama saw you and smiled softly. You sped up slightly, running head on into his chest as he wrapped his arms around you.

There were groans from the boys, while their parents cooed and awwed. He always was like this with you though. No matter how pissed or upset he was he would always smile when you showed up. It meant a lot to you, knowing how he hated the teasing.

Thats when he did what he never does. He pushed you away slightly, then taking your chin in his hand. When he kissed you there were quiet gasps and gags from your little group.

“sorry I just needed to do that,” he mumbled against your lips. Once again you could only think one thing as you smiled back to him.

‘scary my ass’

The first time Dakota and Cavendish held hands

Yall have converted me somehow so here we go

It all started with Dakota grabbing Cavendish by the shoulders to pull him back from being hit by a car. Cavendish was shocked and spoke in surprise, but Dakota waved it off. It was far from the first time Dakota had done something similar and it certainly wasn’t the last. However, it was the first time that Cavendish had actually thought back on it.

You see, before that moment, he barely noticed when Dakota swayed his decisions, from main choises on what to do- to simply walking on the sidewalk across the street instead of the one they had previously been on. Somehow, it had just never occured to Cavendish. Bad things happened all the time around him, especially when Milo Murphy was around. So when things crashed down around him he had always just accepted it as a part of life.

However there was something about this in particular. Milo’s dog had been there moments before, but the boy himself had been nowhere in sight. Cavendish would normally chalk it up to his own tunnel-minded thought distracting him as he stepped into the street- but something just bugged him.

Dakota had grabbed him and turned him right around. He had forcefully pulled him away and steadied him back on the sidewalk before shrugging it off- almost sighing it off.

Something about it just bothered him and he couldn’t help but think about it as he fell asleep that night; knowing his savior was mere meters away, sleeping soundly in the other bed.

He thought about it for what felt like hours before finally falling asleep himself.

There were other similar occasions after that.

Dakota had grabbed him by the arms and pulled him back from a manhole cover about to pop straight up into the sky before running his hand on the back of his neck and greeting Milo and his friends.

Cavendish wanted to write it off as another- quite common- near miss of Murphy’s Law… but he couldn’t.

It was almost as if Dakota’s death-tight grip on his arms haunted him for days after a near miss.

And then there were other things. Just… odd… slightly out of place things. Cavendish would do something like insult Dakota- honestly out of pure frustration for a mission and nothing else- and Dakota would /almost/ say something.

Almost.

But then he wouldn’t.

“I saved… you…… the last corndog….”

It was many days since he’d first pondered on the subject but now he thought about it every night.

Dakota was always a little odd but never in a bad way. Cavendish liked that Dakota was a little different. Sure he hadn’t at first- but he did now.

So why did it feel like he was missing something?

And then one day he more or less found it. He didn’t understand it- but he found it.

They had been on a mission. It was innocent enough at first but it escalated in the blink of an eye. They were suppose to build a small shelter for some pistachio plants before a snowstorm hit and destroyed them. The shelter only had to last for a few days until the local authorities could arrange something better for the pistachios and other nearby plants.

Dakota and Cavendish had set out in winter coats to hike along a trail. The land was cold but nearly barren since no snow had yet fallen this season.()

Dakota had started out making jokes and sharing a few funny anacdotes that Cavendish had actually never heard before, but after a while they quieted. Cavendish had brushed Dakota’s attempts off -but now that it was quiet?- he was starting to miss it. That was just what they did. They bantered. …right?

After a while, the pressing silence started to make Cavendish wonder. Should he take the oppertunity and ask?

But what was there to ask! He wondered until it made his head hurt.

What was off? What was different and still changing since they started as partners? Why did it always happen around emergencies?

And then suddenly Dakota had grabbed his hand and was pulling him in another direction. Cavendish looked around his surroundings and was brought back to reality just enough to see that he had nearly walked off a rivene. Dakota had corrected them back along a much safer path.

“Oh. Thanks Dakota.” He said genuinly before returning to his thoughts.

Where was he? Oh yeah. It was what was different about them. What was it that bothered him so, yet he couldn’t quite but his finger on?

“Hey Cav?” Dakota asked, quieter than normal dispite the fact that no one was around for more than a half-mile now.

Cavendish immediately raised his head in attention.

“Yes?”

He looked over his partner’s face. He could easily see that Dakota’s cheeks were bright red. But it was cold, what else was new?

“Cav?”

Cavendish strightened his back slightly.

Dakota looked almost serious. He was NEVER serious if he didn’t have to be. He often wasn’t even if he /was/ suppose to. And it was just the two of them so; what reason did he have to be serious?

“What is it?” He looked around in a slight panic.

By the time he looked back, Dakota was smiling yet again.

“/Balthazar/.” He chuckled as the unfirmiliar word rolled off his tongue.

“Vinnie.” Cavendish said flatly. “Come on, what is it?!”

Dakota raised up his hand gently to reveal that it was holding Cavendish’s own.

“It’s been like five minutes.” Dakota chuckled before the serious edge seeped back into his words. “Not that I- not that I mind but… I just want to make sure you’re okay. You- you’re holding kind of tight and… I know how you usually hate ‘meaningless contact’ as you call it-”

Cavendish wasn’t sure if he should let go or not. It felt like his hand was on a heating stove that would burn him any moment if he wasn’t careful; but at the same time it felt… fine… safe….

“Sorry I- I was lost in thought-”

“Whatcha thinkin’ bout?” Dakota grinned, happy to intrude.

The taller of the pair hesitated.

He wanted to say so much. He wanted to ask why Dakota kept saving him. Why he would bother. He wanted to know how Dakota was so quick to do so. He wanted to know why he himself was so oblivious. He wanted to know why it wasn’t wierd to hold his partner’s hand.

He wanted to ask but… then he paused.

Dakota was constantly saving him by pulling him out of harm’s way so it wasn’t wierd for Dakota to be a little extra causious and hold Cavendish’s hand… right?

Yes it was true that Balthazar wasn’t a big fan of hugs or really /anything/ more than and often /including/ the handshake, but this? Dakota wasn’t one to shy from physical contact. In fact Dakota was constantly near him. He was saving him, sure, but even when he wasn’t- Dakota was very nearly always nearby.

Dakota was on the opposite side of /their/ usual booth at the nearby diner where they went to for breakfast that nearly pressed their legs together. He was in the passanger seat of /their/ vehicle and constantly changing the radio or snacking. He slept less than 2 meters away from him in /their/ hotel room.

And it didn’t stoop there. They walked so close their arms could brush- and often did. They did nearly every activity in the city together when they weren’t on mission and, officially, didn’t have to stay together. They even shared food if it was something sanitary like a bowl of M&Ms that Dakota liked or a pack of gummies that Cavendish liked.

And everytime Cavendish thought of an example, he thought of dozens more. He knew nearly every snack his partner liked and which ones he didn’t while Dakota knew nearly every song Cavendish liked and even the ones he didn’t admit to listening to.

So what did it matter if he held hands with the man who was constantly saving him? Who constantly kept him from doing stupid things like falling into rivines and who kept every day they spent together interesting.

He finally processed Dakota’s question. 'Whatha thinkin bout?’

Cavendish looked down at their () hands once more.

“Why do you save me?” Cavendish finally asked. Dakota tensed. “If I’m oblivious enough to nearly get killed all the time then why bother stopping me?”

Dakota smiled gently, almost weakly, before slowly bringing their entwined hands to his lips. Then he met Cavendish’s gaze.

“You’re Cavendish. What 'r’ ya gonna do?”

[Notes: In case you didn’t get it: the thing Cavendish doesn’t get is both the fact that Dakota is constantly saving his life, and the fact that they’re in love lol]

[Sorry about the errors btw]
