[ hinata needs a plan. he needs some words to yell at kageyama, at least, a starter. i can't believe you lied to me, you suck seems like a good place to start. what did you think i was gonna say? maybe. well. that's the thing. hinata was pretty damn dumbfounded when he said he was a prince, and sure, he spent a lot of time talking about how bad he wished he could have an easy life like that--

but, hinata wouldn't have ever down talked kageyama for it. sure, would have joked him, "you could've been buying us food the whole time, bakageyama!" but it's still--god. kageyama basically became his best (only) friend. the only person in the whole wide world he trusted and cared for as much as natsu, and hinata shouyou's trust and care and love is the kind of thing that's usually five sizes too big for his chest.

so all these feelings have added up to this weird squirming thing of emotions, an ache of hurt in his chest that he can't describe in words outside of 'guwahh' and 'uohhh', and thats why he's here. he hasn't really thought through what he wants to do or say at all, except maybe just.

come back home, tobio.

however, before he can really ruminate on those very embarrassing thoughts, the balcony door gets slammed. hinata jumps about three feet and squawks a-- ] GUWAH! [ before windmilling almost comically and having to throw himself around the tree trunk so he doesn't lose his balance.

does that orange hair look familiar? ]

[ Well, if he couldn't spot the bright orange in the tree - seriously? - Kageyama sure as hell would recognize that outburst.

Jumping, he spins around and braces his hands on the edge of the balcony, leaning forward to scan for the source of the sound. And, there, in the goddamn tree right outside his room, is Hinata Shouyou in all of his stupid, energetic glory. His reaction is immediate and just as confusing as the rest of his emotions, a strange amalgamation of excitement, guilt, dread, and anger, the latter of which largely caused by the combination of the former three.

But also, he's terrified of what could happen to Hinata if the guards caught him. There was only so much he could do, before. Now, they're not in the marketplace anymore. ]

Hinata! [ Voice a low hiss, he hops up and over the edge of the balcony, moving to land on one of the sturdier branches of the tree. This was, after all, how he managed to sneak out the first time. Going to make sure that Hinata doesn't fall out of the thing and crack his skull open is easy enough, though he fumbles a little as he tries to keep his balance in his... surprise, excitement, both. ] What're you doing here? What if you got caught!?

[ That, above all else, is his concern. Does Natsu know you're here? Where is she? Is she safe? Is she okay? ]

Did something happen? [ Are you okay? I miss you, I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was. ]

[ luckily all of hinata's ridiculous parkouring in the streets means his balance is pretty decent, even if he's an idiot--he windmills wildly for a moment before he leans forward and wraps himself around the tree trunk, grabbing onto it tight, knees quaked together because he low key thought he was going to die for a second there. ]

What's wrong with you, don't slam your stupid door like that! [ comes his semi-panicked reply before he turns back around to face kageyama, who is now...really close. hinata flusters, his cheeks going bright red as he lifts both of his hands, pointing back at him. ]

Yes, something happened, you got freaking pulled off by the guards and never told us you were a prince! [ he has the decency to at least give this to him in a heated whisper instead of a yell, but he pauses, noticing the look on his face. ] --O-oi, quit looking at me like that, Natsu's fine.

[ because he's always been able to read kageyama like a book--everything but his biggest secret, laid out right there in front of them. he blusters again, cheeks pink, angry and excited and emotional and fighting the twin urges to either shake kageyama or hug him. ] Why didn't you say anything?! Did you think I'd get mad at you?! You're really dumb, Kageyama!!

[ if kageyama's words translates to 'i'm sorry, are you okay', hinata's translate to 'i miss you, come back home, i miss you, i miss you, i miss you.' ]

[ Panic clearly evident as Hinata windmills, Kageyama has the overwhelming urge to reach out and grab him, to keep him from falling out of the stupid tree and cracking his head open. But he catches his balance, finally, and so he crouches down on his branch so that he doesn't wind up losing his balance. That's all they need is the crown prince falling out of a tree and blaming it on a commoner.

Tobio's commoner, his Shouyou. He doesn't want to do anything that would put him in risk again, not after the scene in the marketplace. Even if he misses him and Natsu more than anything, and just wants to go back.

But then Hinata's berating him, and his shoulders hunch a little with his questions. At least Natsu is safe, so that's a weight lifted, but he just looks guilty and miserable for a moment. He just - ]

I wasn't worried about you being mad at me - well, a little, but it wasn't what I thought about most. I just... [ Though they're hunched up to his ears almost, eyes down towards the ground, he manages a shrug before they slump, defeated. All the while, he's going to pretend that his ears aren't turning red, that it won't take long for it to hit his cheeks, because there's a lot of reasons why he didn't tell the truth in the end. ]

When I came to the marketplace, I just wanted to be a person. I didn't want to be the prince. And then I met you and Natsu, and I got that, and then I didn't... I didn't want to leave.

[ whoa, holy shit, kageyama is using his words. as in--he's not yelling at him or scoffing or anything. he's being honest, and that alone startles hinata enough that he lets him finish, though his eyebrows are still furrowed as if he's ready to go off on a tirade of his own in about three seconds. even after he yelled at him, hinata thought he'd still be furious, but he's feeling some steam start to evaporate off of him, and he stares at kageyama as he talks, watches the way he stares at the ground and scoffs instead of looking him (proudly, always so proudly) in the eyes.

in the end, the real reason why hinata's here is pretty obvious. he didn't come just to give kageyama a piece of his mind, because he's done that now, and he's not leaving. he's left here standing with his fists still loosely clenched, and "i didn't want to leave" hits him so hard in the chest it feels like he's been punched.

because he didn't want kageyama to leave, either.

he eventually snaps back-- ] Then don't! [ but any heat to it is sort of lacking in the way his voice cracks, and hinata squares his small shoulders back and raises his head up, because of kageyama is too defeated to look at him right, then hinata will do the looking for him. ]

You're always a person. You're a shitty prince, anyway! Everyone's afraid of you because you're such a jerk! But-- [ the tirade is continuing, and this is getting into dangerous Feelings territory. ] when you were with me and Natsu, it wasn't like that! She's been crying every night, okay?! Because she wants you to come back! This stuff's just--it's not you! Even I can tell that!

[ of course he can tell that, because he knows kageyama tobio arguably better than anyone in the whole world. kageyama tobio the prince is a rumour on the street, but kageyama tobio the commoner is a stuck up jerk who likes food and plays with hinata's baby sister and knows how to get around all the corners without being caught, who told hinata how to dodge guards and made a great pillow in the middle of the night, and fuck, shouyou misses him so badly. ] So come back already!!

[ I can't just leave! he should say, but he can't. No one even fucking noticed he was gone until he'd barged up to those guards, when they'd been caught, to keep the Hinata siblings safe. I have responsibilities! he knows, but he doesn't care about them. He doesn't care about the years of fine upbringing and blue-blood breeding, about the fact that he's the heir to the throne.

Who would want to be king, when you sit on a throne alone?

Kageyama usually looks people head-on, because that's how he's always done it. That's what he was taught, and he's never realized just how much he does it or how awkward it could be until he left the palace. But now he keeps his eyes down, embarrassed and angry with himself for it and agonizing over the fact that all he wants to do is exactly what Hinata says.

Bringing his hands up, he digs the heels of his palms into his eyes and heaves out a heavy breath. It shakes at the end, because he's just so tired of being the prince, and he misses living with Shouyou and Natsu so much that he could cry, he thinks. It was something his parents would look down on, but it was theirs and he wasn't alone, he was happy. Hinata makes him so happy, and that's terrifying in a way, because he realized that he just -

The swell of emotions that they both make him feel is overwhelming, a bright burst of sunlight just like them, but he's pretty sure he's in love with Hinata. ]

I want to come home. [ He drops his hands, and Tobio breathes in - pretends he doesn't end it with a sniff - before lifting his head to actually look at him again. ]

[ watching kageyama reach up to rub at his eyes is surreal, but it's the words that come after that feel like they make hinata's heart just break in his chest, and a part of him wonders when it got like this. when he stopped hating him--because he really did, at first, really hated him a lot--and started looking to his left always expecting kageyama to be there next to him, making a sour face or sucking on a milk box they pilfered from the milkman when he walked by. not having him there feels like there's a hole ripped in him, or something, and hinata ends up tearing up too, feeling like a stupid child as he has to inhale deeply to keep from crying. he needs to be strong, he was here to be mad, and he just.

deflates. completely. he can't be mad anymore.

instead, he ends up stepping forward, unafraid of falling off the branch, and reaches forward to grab kageyama's hands when he drops them. it's a little embarrassing, and if he wasn't overcome with that feeling of heartbreak, a lion threatening to break out of the ribcage in his chest, he'd be turning red. instead, the passion and the emotion just break all at once, and he squeezes them, giving his arms a shake. ]

Then come home. [ he's definitive, stubborn. hinata is kind of dumb, but he's not an idiot. he knows kageyama probably has duties to attend to, princely bullshit or something like that. here he has a bed to sleep on that's not made of rags and all the money and food he could ever want, but if some delusional part of him wants to stay with natsu and him, keeping the warm when the night gets cold and looking up at the stars through the holes in the ceiling, then god, god, hinata will convince him to come somehow. he never backs down from a challenge, and this is one of those challenges.

he ends up swallowing back a lump in his throat, giving his hands another shake. ] You idiot. Just come back! You ran away once, do it again!

[ At first, all he can do is bite his lip to try and quell the burn at the back of his throat, the threat of actual tears instead of just getting teary-eyed. Kageyama hates crying, gets angry with himself every time he feels it well up in him, but right now all he can focus on is Hinata's words, even if he calls him an idiot. All he can really take in is the grasp on his hands, and he squeezes just as tightly.

His hands weren't made for the life of an aristocrat - he's calloused from practicing his swordsmanship and climbing trees and buildings, and it's all been built up even more to reflect the ones that Hinata has, from his life on the streets and through the marketplace stalls, from climbing just as high as the prince has.

They fought a lot, at first, but god if they didn't just click before long, where they were communicating in an unspoken language, aware at every point where their newfound other half was. Natsu helped a great deal in all of this - Tobio loves her with every fiber of his being, wants to comb out her fluffy hair when she's having a hard time sleeping and he's still awake with her brother's face mashed into his shoulder. He wants to carry her on his shoulders again, swing her back and forth by the hands between him and Hinata. He wants to run through the market holding Shouyou's hand, bickering with him while laughing in the same breath.

All he wants is that starry sky, accompanied by hushed whispers and heads bowed together. Not even the softest bed in the empire could make up for cold nights spent nesting beneath that sky.

So, with a deep breath, he starts taking steps back towards the balcony, planning on bringing Hinata with him as he goes, mind working. ] I ran away without taking anything with me the first time. C'mon.

[ All the wealth in the world at his disposal, and Kageyama thinks maybe he can use it for their benefit this time. ]
