Chereads / A Sudden Encounter / Chapter 7 - Their Date

Chapter 7 - Their Date

Karasuno Practice

Luckily, their practice ended early giving Hinata more time to prepare himself at their date. Hinata quickly changes his clothes and prepare his bike and excitedly cycle his way back home.

"I wonder what made Hinata go out of practice this early... Usually, he would spike some balls before leaving." Sugawara ponders.

"Maybe he got a date?" Tsukishima sarcastically replies.

"A date?! So the kouhai have finally surpassed the senpai." Tanaka adds as he shed his manly tears.

"That boke?! That's impossible I mean that's much of a waste." Kageyama scoffs.

"Oya? Is the King jealous." Tsukishima sarcastically remarks.

The team then started to argue which then lead to their captain scolding them.

Hinata POV

As soon as Hinata got home he ran to his bedroom and prepared his clothes. Its a white t-shirt and jeans. After readying his clothes he went straight to the bathroom for a quick shower and then check his bag if all that he needs was there.

After finishing his preparations he then gave his sister and mother a goodbye kiss and went to the planetarium earlier than scheduled.

Oikawa POV

To his suprise his third year teammates figured out that he liked the cute ball of sunshine. The team couldn't care less as long as it doesn't affect their practices and matches. He thought that they would be quite baffled by his feelings towards their enemy but the team always used this to tease their captain (especially Matsukawa, Hanamaki and Iwaizumi).

Oikawa then woke up earlier than usual due to his excitement. After eating breakfast and taking a bath, he  prepared his bag and took a while to decide his clothes (by a while it took him about 2 hours) but despite of that he finished quite early and had had decided to head to the planetarium earlier than their decided time.

Their POV

The two then meet earlier than what they've talked about since they got there early they decided to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant. They both ate lasagna and tea. After eating, they decided to buy tickets however since it was a weekend the line was quite long it took a while but it was definitely worth the wait.

They were both in awe upon entering the planetarium. It was a quite a dark place, it had a lot of displays of meteor and planet models. It also had screens detailed with several constellations and discoveries.

As they walked at the hall Oikawa made a move by taking Hinata's hand saying that the reason was so that they won't get separated in the crowd. Hinata learned a lot of things from what he had seen learning several famous constellations and hearing from the dorky senpai about how aliens might be real. Hinata usually thought of topics about space and stuff to be quite boring but upon visiting the said planetarium he was in awe it was like entering a whole new world.

Oikawa really enjoyed their wondering but what made him all so ecstatic was the fact that Hinata really enjoyed this place and that he was holding Hinata's hand. Being the dork he is, he tells his theories about alien's existence and his love for heavenly bodies as a child, Hinata truly found happiness because it was the first he saw Oikawa's dorky side.

Even the Grand king have a side that no one expects him to have. I never thought that he likes these things so much I guess the alien stuff in his room was a give away but I'm truly happy to see this side of him and I'm happy to learn how interesting this stuff is. Hinata thinks to himself as they happily watch a film about space travel.

After watching the said film the two have finally completely explored the whole planetarium to their suprise it was already night, giving them the best chance to see the stars.

"Shou-chan wanna see the stars?" Oikawa asks.

"Really can we? I wanna see the north star and the big and small dipper." Hinata happily replies.

Oikawa then nods and leads the smaller boy to a the observatory they both looked into two separate telescopes and was captivated by the sight of the stars.

After using the telescopes the two went to grab dinner and happily tell each other how happy their experience was, what they truly found wholesome and shocking. The two then saw a sign of a fireworks display by the seaside close to where they were, they decided to head to said display and patiently wait for it to start.

As the fireworks started to find its way to the skies Oikawa and Hinata held each other's hands. Slightly shocked by their sudden touch yet they decided to stay silent. The two stared at each other's eyes finding comfort that strengthens their feelings. They silently wished that the fireworks were loud enough, enough to mask their loud beating hearts.

"I-" the two said in resonance. Making them slightly flinch but they didn't notice.

"May I go first Shouyo?" Oikawa request.

"But I wanna go first." Hinata pouts.

"Then let's just say it at the same time then." Oikawa suggest with a glint of hope in his eyes and a slight blush on his cheeks. Hinata nods to his suggestion.

"I like you!" The two say in sync making them both slightly chuckle and smile happily. Oikawa sighs in relief and Hinata furiously blush.

"Will you go out with me Shouyo?" Oikawa politely asks.

"Of course!" Hinata shrieks still flustered at hearing the other boy's confession.

After confessing the two walked back to their way home before Hinata rode the bus to his home Oikawa gave him a small kiss at his cheeks and he also gave one in return. The waved goodbye and went home fully blushed and happy.
