New Year's Eve

Once again, you were getting all dolled up for a party.
Kenji was throwing it, and you'd been invited. Hinata was away and Yukio said she couldn't stay long but she'd show up for a bit. Kageyama promised to be there so you wouldn't get drunk and you were extremely grateful.

He was going to walk you, too. You tried not to keep him waiting and hurried downstairs to greet him. "Hey Tobi- wow." You gasped.

He wasn't doing anything special, but his hair was parted a little differently and your breath was caught in your throat.

"I should be the one saying that." He smiled. "You look amazing, (f/n)."

You finally figured out how breathing worked again and you made your way over to him. How did he look so good in a button up shirt? It was ridiculously unfair.

"Let's get going, shall we?" You nodded, not finding a particular reason to speak. The two of you linked arms and walked towards Kenji's house where he greeted you with a smile.

"Glad you two could make it!" He said cheerfully. "Enjoy yourselves!"

"Good to see you too, Kenji. I'll talk to you when people stop showing up." You replied, patting his shoulder when walking past him. Kageyama also greeted Kenji briefly before joining me, the two of them had figured things out and you were happy to say they were on good terms.

You saw Oikawa at the party too, and you went over to say hi. He wasn't with Iwaizumi this time, just him and a few friends from school but he seemed to be going from group to group, not finding anywhere he wanted to stay.

We caught up before you excused yourself to spend time with Kageyama. You didn't want that boy to be all salty again.

Yukio came by too, an excited look on her face when she saw you and Kageyama together. "(F/n) you look so grown up!" She gushed and you laughed.

"We both know I behave like a 5 year old, Yukio."

"Good point!" She agreed. "Enjoy yourself tonight, I can't stay long so I'll go greet everyone and take my leave. We need a sleep over sometime, (f/n)!" She stated before sauntering off to let you spend quality time with Kageyama.

As much as you appreciated it, you missed my best friend. She thought she was doing you a favour by leaving you with Kageyama all the time, and you weren't ungrateful for it, but you hadn't had proper girl time with her in so long and you missed it terribly, and so the idea of a sleepover made you happier than you thought possible.

"You look happy." Kageyama noted.

"Good work figuring that one out, genius. It's not like I have a huge giveaway grin or anything." You mumbled sarcastically to which he flicked your forehead.

"No need for sass with me, missy."

"That hurts though!" You pouted.

"Hey, I'm sorry." He said, rubbing your forehead for you. "I didn't mean for it to hurt."

"I- I was exaggerating! Don't worry about it." You reassured him.

This resulted in you bickering back and forth as per usual.

You went to the table to get something to eat and got caught up in a conversation with Kenji.

"(F/n), you look great today." He smiled shyly.

"Oi, you're not doing yourself a favour right now. Last time you were nice to me like this at your house I ended up beating the shit out of you." You reminded and he went tomato red.

"I'm so sorry about that, I wa such an idiot and it won't ever happen again." He blabbered and you ruffled his hair.

"Sorry for bringing it up, Kenji. That's my fault, I know you've changed and I trust you. Next time I tease you about this, just punch me alright?" You said, guilt laced in your voice. You felt bad for bringing up something he did a while back when he was clearly a changed person. It must be disheartening for him.

"No no, don't say things like that. I really am sorry. And, mind if I talk to you a little later? Just the two of us. I need to tell you something."

You nodded. "Sure, tell me whenever it is that you need to talk to me. I'll probably be with Tobio." You told him and he nodded.

"See you soon, (f/n)." He called over his shoulder and turned to greet a few people who'd just walked in the door. Getting back on track, you grabbed a plate and filled it with every appealing food item you laid your eyes on and headed back to Kageyama.

You didn't stay long before Kenji came around and found you again, asking for a moment alone with you. You saw Kageyama shrug and pick up a drink and you didn't get to point out that it was alcohol since Kenji dragged you away.

"So?" You asked, expectantly.

"(F/n)." He said.

"Kenji." You responded.

"We're close, right?"

"Well, yeah I'd like to think so. Why?" You asked him.

"I like you, (f/n). And I'm so, so sorry for everything I've done wrong. I'll spend however long necessary to fix it but please, give me a chance to go out with you again." Kenji begged of you, holding both your hands in his.

"I'm sorry." You said softly. "But I like someone else, and there's nothing I can do about it." You sighed.

"Well, we can still be friends right?" Kenji asked.

You smiled. "Of course we can, don't think you can get rid of me that easily." He laughed at that and pulled you into a hug.

"Thanks, (f/n)." He mumbled and you patted his back comfortingly.

Someone patted Kenji's shoulder and asked to go to the roof with him, since she wanted to tell him something. You gave Kenji an encouraging nudge and a wink to the girl for good luck. "You should go to Kageyama, the countdown is about to start." Kenji told you.

"How did you-"

"It's not that hard to figure out with the way you look at him, (f/n). Now go." And with that he left, and you didn't waste any time in finding Kageyama.

Time flew as you spoke to Kageyama about anything and everything, and before you knew it, people were running around trying to find their crushes or significant others to share a kiss for New Years.

"Hey, (f/n)?" He began, looking a little nervous. You wondered what was wrong.

9

"Yeah?"

8

"I'm really glad I'm-"

7

-"here with you tonight." The chants were loud, but you could hear every single word he was saying. This moment felt somewhat different.

6

You smiled, "I am too."

5

"Oh, and one more thing." He added, stepping closer to you.

4

"What is it?" You asked. He put one hand on the wall, next to your head and the other underneath your chin, tilting your face upwards to look at him.

3

He leaned closer to your face, his eyes focused on your lips, then glancing at your eyes as if asking for permission.

2

You nodded weakly, since it was all you could manage. His fingertips caressed your cheek, and you were rooted to the spot, unable to respond to anything else.

1

"Happy New Year, (f/n)." He whispered and you felt his lips against yours, just as you heard fireworks go off in the distance.

You weren't sure if it were you that was exploding, but in that moment, you didn't particularly care

Kageyama Tobio was kissing me. And boy, was he good at it.
