In Kageyma's dreams, the sun in warm against his skin.

He knows that it's a dream, somehow, but he just can't quite bring himself to mind. He lets it continue, with that over saturated, soft, fuzzy feeling that dreams have sometimes, everything going just marginally slower, giving him the time to indulge in every feeling of every moment.

In his dream, he's lying in a bed that looks nothing like his own bed, with Hinata in his arms. There's sunlight streaming in through the windows and Kageyama doesn't know what the time of day is, whether they've just gotten into bed, or if they need to be getting out of bed. None of that matters, not to the Kageyama in the dream and not the Kageyama watching it all happen, either.

Nothing matters except for the way Hinata is pressed against him, smiling sleepily, looking at him. Kageyama's heart feels so full that it could overflow and the sunlight suddenly feels even warmer against his skin. His legs are tangled with Hinata's and he can't tell if they're clothed or not, because that's not an important detail in this dream either.

The dream version of Kageyama traces Hinata's smile with a thumb, leaning in to kiss him.

Kageyama jerks awake to the sound of his alarm, his mind still stubbornly clinging to the dream, his chest aching with a loneliness that he knows won't go away until he sees Hinata that day.

All throughout the day, Hinata's smile distracts Kageyama, throws him right back into the memories of his dream. He's replayed it so many times today that he isn't even sure what was actually part of the dream and what are just his own embellishments, thrown in now that he's awake. The most important detail, never changing, is Hinata's smile and the way it radiated warmth.

Kageyama watches Hinata quietly, taking in his smile, wondering how it would feel if he traced his thumb over it this time. He wonders if Hinata would let him, if he would smile more.

He's pining, he realises, after a solid twelve hours of thinking about Hinata without rest. He's pining for the feeling in the dream, for Hinata pressed against him, for the comfort and happiness he remembers feeling.

He wonders if this is love, he wonders if there's a line between having a crush and actually being in love, and he wonders where that line is, whether obsessing over the memory of a dream counts as crossing it. Probably, he thinks. He's become a little more self-aware recently and he knows that he's never been the type to do things in half measures. It's probably no different in this situation, either.

"Kageyama, come on!" Hinata runs past him, grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him along as they head over to one of the nets during practice. "Toss to me."

"Sure," Kageyama agrees easily, in a moment of weakness. "I'll toss to you as many times as you want, today."

"Really? Hinata is beaming at him. "That's awesome! You're the best!"

Kageyama's expression doesn't change, as much as he wants to grin. Honestly, he thinks to himself, he'd do anything Hinata asks, if it means seeing him smile like that more.
