[ Kageyama is not a fan of flower crown making and he's not done with the one he'd been halfheartedly working on when Hinata sets the rose crown on his head. The first hint that something is different might be the fact that he didn't instantly tell Hinata not to call him that.
The second might be the way he sort of just stares at Hinata with soft eyes. In truth, it might not be all that different from some of the looks Kageyama sets on Hinata when the other isn't paying attention. After all for him that crown isn't creating new feelings but pushing real ones to the surface. ]
[ it’s not really different at all. the king shoyo speaks of is not the one who terrorized the court, but orchestrates it. shoyo crowned him again; the first time with a towel, and now a second time–
it’s such a cool name, and he could certainly take it back and reinvent it. shoyo had blind faith in that. the red head takes a step back and marvels with a chortling grin, having no idea what’s bubbling up when it all just felt . . . so natural.
shoyo isn’t as subtle. he felt more at home than ever with kageyama around. ]
what did he just hear? shoyo’s ears flop up and down, with him making sure there’s nothing inside them to blocking the space he had to listen. his hearing is pretty good, though. should be, at least. ]
. . . . Is everything. Okay?
[ does he have a fever? shoyo lifts a hand to pap kageyama’s temples. ]
[ Kageyama reaches out and touches Hinata's ears. Pets them, really. He's been wanting to do that. His cheeks are pink with a light blush, one that gets deeper when Hinata touches his forehead. ]
Everything's fine.
[ He's definitely not sick. He pets the ear again. ]
[ this is………… kind of weird. really weird. he’s not even grinding his hand into his skull, he’s petting his ears. petting. it’s soft and affectionate and.
makes shoyo turn beet red. now he’s feeling it. not exactly embarrassment, but . . . that’s only been a daydream. was he dreaming? was he the one running a fever? shoyo checks himself, but can’t exactly tell if his own temperature is off.
wait. wait wait wait wait wait. his heart is pounding in his ears!! kageyama’s red as an apple! he’s becoming . . . highly aware of what eren asked.
thattttt can’t be (but it is.). ]
O . . . Okay? [ where’d. this come from? ] You’re . . . Awesome, too!
[ but kageyama already knew that. it wasn’t the first time shoyo’s openly said so. ]
[ ow! yeow!! but shoyo doesn’t make a huge effort to get away— his cheeks are madly squishable, to boot. that gives him some time to just look up, and….. stare, if not quite fondly. confused? weirded out? maybe all of that in between. ]
You don’t usually say that stuff, though.
[ he’s pretty red around the face, and finally bats the other boy’s hand away. ]
