"you're awfully quiet today."
kageyama perks up from the way he's sitting on the picnic mat. furrowing his brows, he observes the curl of your lips as you continue to tease him.
"super awkward, even," you chuckle, placing your hand on top of his that, for some reason, kept on fidgeting ever since he finished setting up the picnic.
it's a beautiful, sunny day outside. you checked the weather app and took the opportunity to go out. your boyfriend, on the other hand, suggested to go to the park to have a cute picnic date with you. you're quite surprised at how he's the one suggesting for your date today, as you're used to telling him places to go to.
so you put your best flowy sundress on that matches his comfy vest over white shirt and corduroy pants combo. you stare at the mirror with him beside you.
you don't notice the bulk in his pocket.
"am i not like that all the time?" kageyama scoffs, then opens the blueberry cheesecake for the both of you to share.
if you haven't realized yet, he's clearly distracting himself.
from what it is? you have no idea.
he scoops a bite of the cake and brings it to your mouth. he smiles at how content you look, basking in the fresh air, the way the ingredients of the dessert marinating on your tongue, and the familiar warmth he brings around you.
"i like it here," you blurt out, looking at the moving tree branches dancing with the wind. "so calm and pretty, we should do this more often."
"hm," kageyama ponders. "this will be the last time this happens on our circumstances now, though."
you tilt your head and furrow your brows.
he brings the cheesecake down and pulls himself closer in front of you, hand reaching out for yours, caressing your cheek.
"you know.." he looks to his side, evident nervousness oozing from his voice. he turns to look at you, pupils dilated. "i've been planning this for a really long time."
"are you breaking up with me?"
"will you please let me finish what i have to say."
you laugh at your joke and at how he's all grumpy now. "okay, tobio, tell me."
kageyama chuckles, and he's quite relieved you're making him laugh right now. he reaches for his pocket and brings out a delicate, red box.
you gasp, and you feel a puddle of tears already forming at the sides of your eyes.
"i've been waiting for the right time for this, you know? i knew from the start that i wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. we're doing so well in everything, but i really want this stability right now. i love you, and i can't wait to call you my wife."
you can't even hear everything he's saying right now, you hold your mouth as tears stream down your face.
kageyama opens the box, and the sun perfectly hits the big, sparkling stone on top of the ring.
"i already know what you're gonna say but i'll ask you anyway. my love, will you marry me?"
