[Always Behind You.]

Pairings: Kageyama Tobio x Hinata Shouyo

Genre: Pinch of fluff, accidentally poured too much Angst.

GIF is not mine!

"We're tired of you, Kageyama. We're done."

The snarling, spiteful voices of his past teammates would always ring in his head whenever he was stuck into an oblivion. Kageyama knows his skills as a setter, his intelligence innthe game. It was ashamed that no one could keep up with him. He felt his talents would be wasted if he settled for less or the weak. He needed to be with those who remain standing, unshaken. That team being in Shiratorizawa, but he wasn't accepted. He rememvers his grandfather had taught him when he was starting to like volleyball as a luttle boy,

"You'll find someone stronger than you. And when you do, you'll give it your all."

Deep inside when he heard those words, "Someone will be stronger than you." he didn't like the thought of it. To see him weak in the knees, teamed up with someone stronger? He'd want to battle with that instead. He will never let an opportunity pass so idly. No one was better than he is. No one could even keep up with him.

Or so he thought before meeting his rival.

"I can keep up with your toss!"

Never in his life had he heard someone say that so idiotically straight forward yet manages to make his spirit burn bright. He didn't want to believe in the boy named, Hinata Shoyo. He was lacking, unbalanced, reckless. Something you don't want to see play in the field knowing at any moment he'd mess up a set. But the memory of him jumping higher than any player before back in middle school was one key than opened the door to his peek of interest in someone.

"You're short, how do you expect to keep up with me?"

"I can jump high."

What a waste of time. He remembers thinming that wag the day the two of them had to make amends in order to get in the team back in first year. It was a rough start for the both of them. They weren't the kind of friends you would claim as good companions. Rather it was more on a cat and dog like. Sometimes behave, sometimes rowdy. Kageyama just forces himself to be a good person because he cared nothing more to the weaklings.

That was before when he unleashed the beast inside of the shorter male. If he was going to have to be honest at some point, Hinata would definitely be more terrifying than he was when his eyes would glints in a dangerous way. The ones where its not just determination you'll see, but the looks as if you shoyld watch your back and not underestimate his capabilities. That's where a real change happened to Kageyama. He had learned to respect him, acknowledge him.

Like him.

"I'll always be behind you!"

Kageyama may not show it, but he lives for the reassurance Hinata has given him. The team, yes, they also give him those. But all his motivations were only able to lighten up unless it was him who speaks it.

During those times, Kageyama would be in painful stress. Always trying to perfect his sets, adjust, be better. Never had he realized he has made a monster out of the latter. It would sometimes annoy him when he keeps asking for toss, but he finds himself smiling, and letting himself wrap around his finger as time passes on between them.

Oikawa noticed how his demeanor would change around Hinata. Maybe he's hit the nail on his head when he told him if he was giving him what he wants. Now, Kageyama doesn't do that before. Kindaichi and Kunimi claimed that when they met again. Kageyama would always go on his own pace. That all he cared about was winning. And now he was following after someone they deemed weaker than he was. How can Hinata have Kageyama do all those without him realizing?

No one would point out how soft he's gone for him. Not even Tsukishima. Something about him didn't seem right at all. Tsukishima would look uninterested in many things, but there was this even more powerful aura emmiting around Kageyama as he stood by Hinata in everything. In or out of the game.

"I met another setter, his name is Kenma!"

He doesn't know why a vein popped from his forehead and fire blazing around him. He didn't like it when Hinata would fond over other players, specifically setters. He didn't like the idea of someone with better skills take away the only person who could keep up with him.

Like a cat, Kenma would run away from Kageyama after believing in the characteristics Hinata had demonstrated him when they met. Some people may think of it as an adorable interaction, but Kenma never revealed why the hair on his skin went up and his pupils shrinking. As if he needed to defend himself or run away.

"You're really awesome, Kageyama!"

Heart beat quickening, his breathing almost stopped when he heard that. You can confirm it was like a praise kink right now.

He was so flustered.

So happy.

Instead of getting glares, and comments only acknowledging his skills and not his well being. He was being praised for all of him. And he wants to keep hearing it. From him. Him only.

He wants him to keep catching him. Keep praising him. Keep telling him he's always there.

He wants Hinata.

"Kageyama bring us a good toss, alright?"

It was the fight for the Nationals. Them agaisnt the eagles— Shoratorizawa. His fingers were fidgeting around the ball, he was getting nauseous. He can feel his feet were getting pulled down by some kind of roots from beneath him. The ace from the other side stomping on his head. He was scared to make the same mistake as before. If they habe to win, if he has to win. He has to let lose. But he fears that history will repeat itself if he does.

His body jolts up slightly after a hand patting his shoulder startled him. Instead of the wide gap he used to see in the court, he sees light. He sees Hinata smiling up at him, giving him a thumbs up as the whistle cues.

"I'll be right behind you, Kageyama."

Those were the lines that replaced the old haunting ones a long time ago.

They had 2 years together. Two years of growing stronger, better. And bonding. Kageyama was thankful he was brought to this school and to him. Almost forgetting about the promise of beating each other in different teams.

No.

He wantes to stay as teammates.

There will be no one in the world to replace his eyes on how they view the oranged haired male. How they would shine brighter, how he would smile wider.

Not Ushijima.

Not even Hoshiumi.

He wants no other ace, spiker. He wants only Hinata.

"I really don't like it when my spiker gets bothered, Kageyama."

He could say the same thing to him— Atsumu.

In the present time. He and his team had come face to face with the Black Jackals. Hinata.

Having to remember the fit of screaming, the wall against his knuckles as he punched them until they bled, and his eyes wide with tears when he found out Hinata had left to Brazil. Had left with other teams.

Everything snapped.

And now here he was staring widely at Hinata, who was hiding behind Atsumu. Bokuto on his side, smiling, but inside he wanted all of them to go away. Away from him as he recalls what Tsukishima had told him before om why Hinata had changed.

"Watch your back, Kageyama. Don't ever come near him again."

That was the last thing he heard from Atsumu before everyone of them walked away in the distance. He memorized the way he spat those words at him. As if he had the audacity to steal his former spiker. His other half.

That was just a week ago during their little encounter.

For Hinata, he had always been so oblivious in highschool. He knows that, and he regrets it. The day when he had graduated, finally moving out of Karasuno, Kageyama was hot on his heels. He almsot sounded like he was pleading him to come to the same school as he was, but Hinata had said he had different plans. He didn't know why Kageyama grabbed him by his shoulders and began shaking him back and fort to make him dizzy. He was beyond confuse when he started crying, "I need you!", "To hell with your plans, you're better off with me!"

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were the ones in that scene and had pried him off of the shaking spiker. Tsukishima was smart no doubt, he said Hinata will talk again with Kageyama after healing from this.

But in reality, Tsukishima was helping Hinata escape.

For Kageyama was not stable.

It was bad now that none of the old members were here right now. They all knew how twisted Kageyama was, but chose to hide in from the eyes of the innocent Hinata.

And he wished he was never so stupid before as he was kneeled down on the cold river infront of him. It streamjng fresh water slowly tainted by metallic crimson ones, a black floating obkect rising above the river to where the smell was gwtting stronger and the crimson spreading faster.

The body of his precious setter.

Atsumu Miya.

Hinata could never bring back the time. He could never take back the moments wherein he should've stayed for everyone's safety. For everyone's lives.

He should've taken the offer the devil that was just watching the corpse flow in the river, the bloody knife hidden behind his back with no sign of regret as his fingers stroked the sobbing ones head.

"I'll always be right behind you."
