Thinking about Kageyama growing up with m!reader and having a crush on them for YEARS and only confessing when they’re both adults
You finally show up in Italy, meeting up with your childhood friend after five months of not being able to see him and having to resort to just calls as he waits patiently for you.
Once you arrive at the airport, you spot a tall black haired figure waiting with their phone by the exit, looking around and acting a little confused. You had just picked up your luggage and are pretty tired from the over 12 hour flight from Japan.
“Tobio?” You say aloud, looking at him as he spins around, looking back at his phone before he sees you. He perks up, and you swear you can see him blushing as he walks up to you.
Of course, you run to him, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and gripping him with your muscular arms. Good god he missed that feeling. You blush as he tenderly holds you back as if he’s seeing you coming back from war.
“Hey, I missed you. Did your flight delay? I was waiting here for three hours.” He says, a pout on his face once he finally puts you down. He immediately walks off, forgetting that you’re shorter and he’s much faster.
Once you catch up, you answer. “Yeah, sorry! I would’ve texted you, but I only remembered when i was on the plane, so I had no connection.”
“It’s alright. What do you wanna see first? I’m not too far from the coliseum.” He notes, opening up his car after putting all your luggage into the trunk for you.
“Nah, I need a nap. Have you not seen it yet?”
“No, but some of my teammates have. With their girlfriends. I didn’t wanna feel like a third wheel.” He says, blushing a little, which doesn’t go unnoticed.
“So you wanted to bring me?”
“Yeah. Uh—not as a girlfriend, of course. You’re not even a girl…” he mumbles, fumbling his words as he tries to think of what to do. He’s only just recently realized that he likes men, even sooner that he likes you, so he’s not at all experienced with crushes and confessing. It’s kinda cute.
You snicker, looking out the window as he drives to his place. You try to figure out how to make him break—you just know he likes you, it’s painfully obvious at this point.
“It’s a shame you don’t have anyone to do fun dates with. There’s a lot of great opportunities here. Has there been anyone on your mind?” You say, hoping and pleading in your mind that he fumbles and talks about you. Today you’re feeling lucky.
“I do. He’s really nice, and super smart. I’ve really missed him lately. He’s just so handsome and sweet and also into volleyball, not as much as me though.” He says, thinking about all the times the two of you have played volleyball as a child. You’re not that big of a fan, but you always watch him when you can, especially now that he’s on TV.
“Is it…me?” You say, a hopeful grin on your face.
“Yeah…w-wait! I, uh….” He says, realizing his mistake. He stops at a red light, covering his face with his hands out of embarrassment. You can’t help but grin.
“I knew it! Also, keep your damn eyes on the road.” You say, grabbing his arm and putting his hand back on the wheel.
“Sorry, of course.” He mumbles, putting his hands back on the wheel and paying attention to the road to distract him.
“Do you wanna be my boyfriend?”
He pauses, a blush dusting his face. He looks so cute when he’s embarrassed. “…Yeah. I do. As long as you’re okay with it.”
“Of course I am.” You say, getting out of the car now that you’ve arrived at his place. You get out the luggage, walking up the steps and into his living room. “This place is nice!”
“Thank you. I got pretty lucky when I found it.” He says, still clearly a bit dazed from what just happened. Oh my god, he has a boyfriend now. He has a boyfriend. “So, uhm…what do boyfriends do together, exactly?” He mutters.
“I dunno. I just need a nap.” You say, wandering into his room, thinking it’s a guest room since it’s so boring and spare, and falling asleep on his bed. He just lets you, not wanting to disturb your adorable sleep.
V self indulgent, but I just needed some wholesome Tobio being a little dummy ❤️
