The morning sun was barely peeking through the curtains when Hinata stirred. His alarm hadn’t even gone off yet, but years of morning practices had his body running on instinct. He yawned, stretched, and tried to sit up—only to realize he couldn’t move.

A heavy arm was wrapped firmly around his waist, keeping him trapped against a broad, warm chest.

“Tobio…” Hinata mumbled, voice still thick with sleep.

“Don’t go,” Kageyama muttered into his neck, his voice low and rough from just waking up. His hold tightened slightly, pulling Hinata closer until their legs tangled beneath the blankets.

Hinata laughed softly, tilting his head back to glance at him. “I have early practice, remember? You don’t start till ten.”

“I know,” Kageyama grumbled, eyes still closed. “That’s why you should stay. Just a little longer.”

Hinata blinked, a fond smile tugging at his lips. It wasn’t often Kageyama was clingy, but when he was—usually early in the morning or late at night—it melted Hinata every time.

“Tobio, if I skip practice, Coach will kill me,” Hinata whispered, trying to wriggle free, but Kageyama just buried his face deeper into his hair.

“Let him try,” he murmured. “I’ll set a block.”

Hinata burst out laughing. “You can’t just block my coach!”

“I can,” Kageyama said stubbornly, opening one eye to glare sleepily at him. “You’re my husband. I get first dibs.”

That earned him a red-faced Hinata, who swatted his chest. “You can’t just say stuff like that out of nowhere!”

Kageyama only smirked, finally opening both eyes, the soft morning light catching the deep blue in them. “Why not? It’s true.”

For a moment, the room was quiet. The hum of the city outside, the soft rustle of blankets, the rhythm of their breathing—it was peaceful.

Hinata sighed, giving in. “Five more minutes.”

Kageyama didn’t waste a second, pulling him closer until Hinata’s head rested against his chest, heart thudding steadily beneath his ear.

“Five minutes,” Hinata repeated, but his voice was already drowsy again.

Kageyama smiled faintly, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. “Take ten.”

By the time Hinata’s alarm finally went off, he was fast asleep again, curled up safely in Kageyama’s arms. And even though Kageyama knew he’d get an earful later for making Hinata late to practice, he couldn’t bring himself to care.

Just for a little while longer, the world could wait.
