After few minutes of driving, they finally got to the swim club. The second and third years were very furious. 'Who does he think he is that'll require our president to pick him up from home?' various thoughts like this ran through their minds.
" Thank God, they're finally here" Masayoshi sighed as he saw Hinata and Asahi alight.
" I wasn't told about the training today. I wasn't late on purpose" Hinata said as he approached Masayoshi.
'Did he just indirectly apologize?' Masayoshi thought and smiled. " It's okay. It's my fault for not informing about it earlier" he said and glared at the direction of Koji.
The training began and as usual, Hinata's time was the fastest.
" Did you notice that ever since Hinata's arrival, the boys have been pushing even further and they're all faster than they were before?" Masayoshi asked as he looked at Asahi whose eyes were fixated on Hinata.
" Hm" he replied subconciously and Masayoshi sighed. " He's not going anywhere you know?' he said and went over to meet the team.
" You guys are all getting better but you need to push even farther. Our opponents are strong and at this rate we're not going to take the win. So get your shits together and stay focused. AS A TEAM." He said making sure to emphasize on the last part.
Hinata dried himself and began packing his stuffs ready to go but was stopped by Asahi. " You promised to have lunch with me. Well it's evening already so how about dinner with me?" He said smiling his eyes bright with hope.
" I don't see why not" Hinata said after giving it a long thought. He might as well sever any possibilities of them getting closer once and for all.
The car didn't seem like it was stopping anytime soon and Hinata began to wonder where exactly they were going. They have drove past quite a number of restaurants both local and exquisite ones.
" Where are you taking me?" he asked
" My home," Asahi replied.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Hinata asked angrily.
" Woah, easy there. It's not like I'm gonna eat you or anything" Asahi teased and Hinata hissed slightly.
After a long ride, they finally got to Asahi's condo. Hinata stared in awe at the sight before him.
"It's beautiful" he commented subconsciously and Asahi grinned satisfied with his decision.
" You can seat on the cushion, I'll go make us dinner" Asahi said guiding Hinata
" I'm coming with you" he replied simply slightly brushing Asahi's hand away.
" Well if that's fine by you" Asahi shrugged
The decor of the kitchen stunned Hinata. The warm colour of white with the blue dots here and there felt inviting. The fridge was stocked with varieties of veggies, fruits, milk diary milk and other foodstuffs.
" I never thought you...Never mind" Hinata began but stopped halfway and Asahi couldn't help but chuckle.
Asahi brought out the ingredients he needed and started working his wonder on the food. The movement of his hands with the knife, his focus, everything caught Hinata's attention and he was mesmerized.
" You staring at me like that makes me wanna kiss you,you know?" Asahi said and Hinata jolted.
" That was not a funny joke" he replied unsure of the situation.
" It wasn't a joke tho" Asahi said, and as Hinata tried to process his words, he felt Asahi's presence hovering over him.
" Wh..What are you doing?" Hinata asked his voice barely above a whisper
" Shh, it's gonna be fine," Asahi said as he looked down on the luscious before him hungrily and Hinata shuddered. He wasn't sure his heart had ever pounded so fast in his life.
Hinata noticed the almost invincible tattoo under Asahi's left eye and couldn't refrain from touching it. He was still in the hands of Asahi who was taking his time to admire the beauty.
Just as the longing became unbearable for him, Asahi's lips met Hinata's. The warmth of his mouth sent a current through his body as he lost himself in Asahi's peppermint breath and soft lips.
'What's happening, what's happening to me. Why does this feel good. Why don't I have control over myself when he comes to Asahi' Hinata thought.
Just as Asahi was about to deepen the kiss, Hinata pulled away. His breath ragged and unstable. His body wanted more. He wanted more but they had to stop. At least for now.
Asahi was proud of the results of his handwork. He managed to make the well composed Hinata Mitsuaki a mess. He couldn't wait to unravel the other sides of Hinata.
" Go take a rest in the living room, I'll come get you once dinner is ready okay?" Asahi said and gave Hinata a peck on the lips.
"Hm" Hinata said still dazed and Asahi smirked.
" It's you I actually want for dinner" Asahi murmured to himself still grinning.
