Chapter Text
"First day back home!" Hinata placed the shorter boys' duffle on the bed. "I've never seen your room before, my goodness."
"What was that?" Nishinoya chuckled and laid down on the bed, pulling Hinata with him. The taller of the two squealed with delight as the libero placed a kiss on his lips.
"I missed this place," Nishinoya mumbled against the taller boys' cheek. Hinata was worn out from the travel and basically collapsed on the brunet. He mumbled a small "mhm," and drifted into unconsciousness.
Nishinoya twirled the orange locks on his chest. He softly traced the lines of Hinatas face. He had such soft features Nishinoya never noticed before this trip.
He wasn't sure how to tell the team they were together but he knew they probably wouldn't care one way or the other. The real problem was his parents.
'Now is not a time for worry. I've got the cutest boy in existence asleep on my chest and the best story of all time to tell. They can wait.'
He closed his eyes and let sleep take over.

Nishinoya knew they had the house to themselves for a little while while his mother filled out doctors paperwork.
He woke up slowly to the soft sound of humming. Hinata was absentmindedly staring at the libero.
"Good you're awake," he whispered, as not to startle the half-asleep boy. "That's right," Nishinoya mumbled, as he clenched his muscles to stretch.
"I'm hungry," Hinata whined.
"You're always hungry, Jesus."
Hinata giggled and climbed off the bed. He pulled Nishinoya to his feet with a groan. "I don't want to get up,"
"It's noon you idiot,"
Nishinoya buried his head into the other boys' neck. "I'm not moving."
Hinata lifted Nishinoya up. Nishinoya wrapped his legs around his stomach and wrapped his arms around the gingers neck.
Hinata carried the smaller boy down the steps and to the kitchen. "You're too lazy,"
"I'm injured, leave me alone."
Hinata dropped Nishinoyas legs and held his torso so he could stand. "What do you want to eat?"
Nishinoya dug through the fridge for their lunch. "My parents are coming home in an hour, we should tell them about us."
"I don't know... My parents are okay with it but are yours?"
Nishinoya stopped moving and stared at the fridge thoughtfully. "They'll have to be."

"Mom, Shoyou and I are dating." Nishinoya nervously moved his thumb against the other boys'.
"Our son...is dating a boy?"
"That's not my son." Nishinoya looked up at his father. "Dad-"
"Get out of my house!" He roared, leaping from his chair. "No son of mine is a faggot!"
"Dad please-"
"GET OUT!"
Nishinoya and Hinata scrambled out of the chair and to the front door. They sprinted out of the living room and on to the yard. "aaAAAND STAY OUT!"
Nishinoyas father slammed the door hard enough to wiggle the light on the wall. Shell shocked, Nishinoya stared at the closed door.
Hinata wordlessly picked him up and carried him, bridal style, away from the toxic environment.
Nishinoya couldn't think properly. 'How could they do this to their son? What monsters...'
Hinata placed a small kiss on the brunets cheek. "Don't think, just hold on to my neck."
He spoke softly and calmly in an attempt to soothe the other boy. Hinata walked until he was a good three blocks away and sat down on the curb. Reassuringly stoking the brunets' sides, he rested the shorter boy in his lap.
Nishinoya buried his face in Hinatas neck as tears began to slip from his eyes. Hinata squeezed the boy so tightly he thought he would burst. "Oh, baby don't cry. You don't need anyone who doesn't love you in your life."
Nishinoya looked up at the ginger, his eyes bright red and slightly puffy. "Do you love me?"
Hinata placed a small kiss on the shorter boys' cheek. "More than anything."
Nishinoya squeezed the gingers neck tightly. "What am I going to do? I have no where to live,"
"You're living with me and that's final."
Nishinoya let more tears dampen Hinatas shirt collar. "I can't do this..."
"You're the bravest boy I've ever met. You can survive this."
Nishinoya let his arms relax around Hinatas neck. "Let's go home," the ginger muttered.
He stood up and carried Nishinoya down the road. He watched the long shadows he cast move with each step, the sun fading in the distance.
"Let's go home."
