Hinata stands in the hallway of the stadium, taking deep breaths to let the adrenaline ease. The final whistle blew about half an hour ago. About half an hour ago, Hinata fulfilled his promise. He beat Kageyama in an official volleyball game.

Though some people may see that as a sign of a heated rivalry, Kageyama and Hinata were anything but. Since their first year of high school, Kageyama and Hinata had been dating. Competing and banter was their love language. His entire life, all Kageyama had hoped for was for a worthy rival that could keep up with him, that would never let him down.

Today, Kageyama's lover, Hinata, had proved that he could be just that. After years of training in Brazil, which had forced the couple to go long-distance, they were finally back together. Competing against each other in the flesh, just how they loved it.

"Shou." A voice rung out, interrupting Hinata's train of thought.

Kageyama stood there, staring at Hinata, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his team jacket.
