What if Kageyama got braces and didn't want anyone to see?
He did a pretty good job of keeping it a secret. It’s not like he spent a lot of time talking in class or smiling at people. The fact that people seemed to avoid him made the fact that he was trying to hide his braces from everyone so much easier.
That was, until practice. It got away from him there. Tsukishima was the first to notice (because why would it be anyone else). “Do my eyes decieve me or has the King gotten braces?” Tsukishima whispered loudly to Yamaguchi, which sent Yamaguchi into a fit of laughter.
Tanaka walked over and said “Really, you have braces? Let’s see.”
Kageyama just stood there staring fixedly at his feet and clenching his fists at his sides. It took a moment, but he looked up and said “Yeah, I’ve got braces.”
Tsukishima smirked “Have we found something that our King is embarrassed about?”
Kageyama frowned and furrowed his brows making him look terrifying to those who didn’t know him. “I’m not embarrassed.” Kageyama said not meeting anyone’s eyes.
Everyone saw Hinata come back inside after taking a moment to cool off in the breeze outside. Tsukishima called out “So what do you think Hinata?”
Hinata looked confused and noticed nobody was practicing. “What’s going on?” he asked.
“Kageyama’s gotten braces.” Noya called out from beside Tanaka.
Hinata walked over to Kageyama and asked “Did you?”
Kageyama nodded his head but kept looking at his feet. He jumped a little when Hinata lowered his head to try to catch his eye. “Show me?” he asked gently.
Kageyama met his eyes and stared at him for a moment. “Please” Hinata said.
Kageyama sighed and pulled his lips back so Hinata could see. Sure enough, there were the braces, complete with black and orange coloring in the wires.
Hinata smiled brightly at Kageyama and grabbed his arm. “You look so cute.” Hinata said with a little jump.
Kageyama’s eyes widened and he blushed all the way to the tips of his ears. They could hear Tsukishima in the background roaring with laughter as the rest of the team tried to hold back their own laughs at Kageyama’s embarrassment at the hands of a short ball of sunshine.
