"Tobio, wait up!"

Kageyama turned his head, slowing down once he recognized that his boyfriend, (M/N), was chasing after him. He smiled a little as he watched the boy pant and catch his breath. He knew his boyfriend was not the skinniest, but that was completely fine with him. If anything, he liked it. So when (M/N) caught up with him, he said, "Hi. You hate running. What are you doing here?" as he pressed a soft kiss to (M/N)'s cheek.

"Well jeez, I can't find my boyfriend and say hi?" (M/N) pouted. Kageyama immediately reacted, eyes widening. He was about to try and argue, but (M/N)'s giggle made him pause. "I was playing Tobio. Don't over think it."
Kageyama relaxed and nodded. The two held hands and began to walk together - though the setter's legs itched to run - and chatted about how everything was going so far. (M/N) kissed Tobio's knuckles, then casually asked, "So, where are you going?"

"The gym," Tobio answered. "What about you? You don't have to walk me this whole way."

"Ah, I'm heading to lunch with some family," (M/N) answered with a sigh. "I don't have to go, but I have nothing better to do. But Kei was complaining about me leaving him alone, and my mom might kill me if I don't come greet the relatives."
Yes, you heard that right - Tsukishima Kei was the twin brother to (M/N). Only differences, other than their appearances (if you guys don't have blonde hair or brown hairs), were while Kei was lanky and skinny, (M/N) was chubby.

Kageyama shrugged, rubbing his thumb against the back of (M/N)'s (S/C) hand. "You could come to the gym with me," he offered. "It could be good for us," he added.

(M/N) tensed up, looking at Tobio with surprised - and hurt - eyes. "Uh, y-yeah! N-Not a bad idea hun!" He laughed sadly. There was a plaza ahead, so the (H/C) haired boy quickly retracted his hand. "Well, h-here's my stop. Bye Tobio, have fun at the g-gym," he spoke quickly, rushing away to go into the restaurant.

Tobio stared blankly at his retreating boyfriend, blinking a few times. He shrugged and began to run again. He hoped his boyfriend would take the offer; he did want to spend more time with him.

Oh, what a dumbass.

~~~

The next day, at school, Kageyama saw (M/N) walking with a few friends, looking pretty down. He was about to walk over, but when the group saw him, they all frowned and dragged (M/N) away. That was just the first of many awkward scenarios to come.

When Tobio tried to eat lunch with (M/N), the boy said he had to go help a teacher. When Tobio asked (M/N) help him study, (M/N) said he had to tutor a friend. When Tobio asked (M/N) to help him with volleyball, (M/N) simply walked away. It was starting to bother the blue-eyed boy.

He sighed as he sat down on the gym floor, taking a sip of water from his water bottle. He was in the middle of volleyball practice, his very heart and soul; and yet, because of his boyfriend, he just couldn't focus. "Kageyama! Bakayama! Why aren't you paying attention?!" Hinata complained, throwing a volleyball at his friend.

"What?! I am not!" Kageyama tried to argue, glaring at Hinata. "Boke Hinata boke!"

"No Kageyama, I think Hinata's right," Sugawara piped up, Daichi and Asahi behind him as they walked over. "Is something on your mind?"

"Well.." Kageyama trailed off, awkwardly looking down at his legs. "I think my.. boyfriend is avoiding me."

Tsukishima looked over, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, that's unfortunate," Sugawara frowned, sitting down next to Kageyama. "Did anything happen between you two?"

Kageyama shook his head. "The last we spoke was on Sunday. I was on a jog, and he caught up to me. He hates running though. We walked and talked, then he told me there was a family lunch he didn't want to go to. I told him to come with me, and he started being.. weird. Then he ran away," he explained without a hitch. Now, the entire team was standing nearby and listening. "And now he's avoiding me."

"Well, where were you going?" Daichi asked, tilting his head. "Since it seems he only got weird after you asked him to go with you."

"To the gym," Kageyama answered. Tsukishima immediately facepalmed. "What?"

"Are you stupid?" Tsukishima asked, frowning. Kageyama raised an eyebrow. "Oh for fuck sake- (M/N) isn't.. skinny, right? He's not like us, right?" He said, and Kageyama nodded, about to spring into defense mode. But Tsukishima stopped him. "And you told him to go to the gym with you? Did you say anything else?"

"Uh.. that it'd be good for him? For us?"

Everyone went quiet. And then, when Tsukishima slapped Kageyama across the face, everyone suddenly began shouting.

"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!" The blonde shouted, shaking Kageyama wildly. "DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE?!"

"Tsukishima, stop it!" 

"Oh my god, is Kageyama's nose bleeding?! I think I'm gonna be sick!"

"I knew he was dumb, but jeez-"

Kei tossed Kageyama to the ground, chest heaving as he tried to calm down. "What the hell are you going on about?!" Tobio yelled, rubbing his ass. "I asked him to go so we could spend more time together! Is that so wrong?!"

Kei got on his knees and grabbed Kageyama's collar again, eyebrows furrowed with fury. "You moron, you made it sound like he needed to lose weight!" He burst, eyes lit with an anger nobody had ever seen before. "No wonder he's been moping around, trying not to eat! You fucking-! And that's on top of what they told him at that damn lunch! I should kill you!" He threatened. Finally, Yamaguchi had to ease his best friend away. "You moron! Idiot, dumbass!"

Kageyama stared at the blocker in shock. Had it really come off that way? He stood up and dusted himself off, blinking a few times. "Kageyama.." Sugawara gently spoke. "Tsukishima is right you know.. but we know it was with your best intentions-"

"What's your address?"

Kageyama had marched up to Kei, eyes narrowed. "Excuse me?" Kei snapped, tightly holding on to Yamaguchi to make sure he didn't knock the shit out of Tobio. "I'm not giving it to you. What, gonna go make fun of him more?"

"No. I'm going to apologize."

The seriousness in Tobio's tone was not to be messed with. Kei growled, but gave in. He gave the setter the address, and within seconds, Kageyama had grabbed his bag and was out the door. He ran and ran and ran, as fast as his legs could carry him. He knew he had fucked up, horribly, so he was going to fix it now.
He knocked at the Tsukishima household's door, biting his lip. (M/N) and Kei's mother opened the door, obviously caught off guard. "Oh, Kageyama- how can I help you?" She asked.

"I need to talk to (M/N)," he answered, eyes locked with hers. "I messed up."

She blinked a few times, then nodded and stepped to the side. Tobio walked inside and took his shoes off, then made a beeline for his boyfriend's bedroom. He heard soft sobs from behind the door and winced, a frown making its way on to his lips. He knocked, and when he heard a quiet, "Come in," he opened the door.
(M/N) laid on the floor, curled into a ball, a bag of chips next to him. Kageyama set his bag down, walking over and sitting next to him. (M/N) rolled over, eyes full of tears as they met with Tobio's. "What do you want?" He weakly asked, wiping his eyes. He sat up and pushed the bag of chips away. "Here to say I need to go to the gym again? I.. I know already Tobio. So just-"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."

(M/N) looked Tobio dead in the eye and froze. Kageyama looked genuinely sad for once. (M/N) knew he wasn't the best at expressing emotions, so he knew this was serious. "I didn't mean it like that," Tobio repeated. "I.. just wanted us to spend more time together. That's why I said it'd be good for us. I didn't mean it like you had to lose weight. You don't have to. You're.. you're perfect. I'm sorry."

(M/N) processed everything first. Then, once he was ready, he flung himself at Tobio and hid his face in his shoulder. "You idiot!" He sobbed, tightly gripping the setter's shirt. "You sweaty idiot! Why didn't you say it like that?! D-Do you know what that f-felt like?! To have my boy- my boyfriend say that?! And then get chewed out for my weight at that stupid family lunch?!"
Tobio listened, eyes tearing up as well. Why did he feel like this? He didn't cry often. The last time he can recall was when Karasuno lost to Aoba Johsai. "The only reason.. the only reason I haven't lost weight is because of Kei," (M/N) whispered as his loud sobs turned into quiet sniffles. "I didn't want to eat, I didn't want to drink anything. I.. I can't even do a simple sit-up. That's why I was on the floor. But nooooo, I'm the fat ass that just eats and can't do anything else.."

"Don't call yourself that," Tobio sat up straight, pulling (M/N)'s head out his shoulder. (M/N) looked down shamefully. "You can do plenty of things," he said. He wrapped his arms around (M/N)'s body, hand gently rubbing his back. "Please.. there's so much that's good about you.. I don't want you to see yourself as anything less than what I do."

(M/N) was tense in Kageyama's hold for a little bit. Then, he slowly relaxed, the last of his tears falling down his cheeks. When he was okay, he looked back at his boyfriend. "You're an idiot, you know," he scolded softly. Kageyama nodded shamefully. But when he felt soft/rough lips against his cheek, he perked up. "But you're my idiot. And I accept your apology. And you know what? Yeah, we can go to the gym. Spending time with you, especially if it's doing something that makes you happy, means the world to me."

Tobio perked up and smiled. "Does that mean I can kiss you now?" He innocently asked. (M/N) laughed and nodded, and as soon as he had done that, his lips were captured in a kiss. Kageyama's lips were a little chapped from running against the wind to get here, but neither of them cared.

They moved in sync, hands beginning to travel. (M/N) wrapped his arms around Tobio's neck, while Tobio moved his hands down to gently grasp and rub the flesh on (M/N)'s hips. The kiss soon grew much more passionate, cheeks darkening with hues of pink and red. "T-Tobio," (M/N) whined, feeling his boyfriend's hand move down.

"Bed. Now. Please."

~ Bonus ~

Kei walked back into the house after practice, yawning as he slipped his shoes off. That's when he recognized another pair of shoes next to his. "Ugh, don't tell me he's still here," he mumbled. He walked down the hall to the bedrooms, peeking into his brother's room.

(M/N) and Tobio were cuddled up together, sleeping peacefully. Kei shrugged and was about to leave, but did a double take. That's when he realized they were shirtless, and that there were purple and red marks littering (M/N)'s neck.

"Gross!" Kei whispered, shutting the door and walking to his room. He slammed his door closed, wishing he could bleach his eyes. "Well.. blackmail on them I guess," he smirked.

And as Kei went to get ready for dinner, he smiled to himself. Just a little bit.

Because as much as he disliked Kageyama, as much as an idiot Kageyama was, he couldn't deny the truth. That he was deeply happy that his brother had someone to make him happy.
