BLK: Original plot line and some phrases not mine. This story is heavily based off of a doujinshi by Tamagoya Koshianko called "Soko ni Tenshi wo Mitsuketa Mono de" in which Kageyama is a King that rules over all of volleyball and falls madly in love with Hinata at first sight because he belives he is an angel and not human.

The King's Angel

Kageyama Tobio is the highest ranking volleyball player in junior high and thus known as "The King". The court is his kingdom and his teammates are his devout followers. Although no one can properly hit his erratic tosses, the ones that could even touch them were permitted to play on his court. Kageyama spent months gathering the strongest warriors to protect his court and even longer filing through applications to be manager, coach, or even just water-boy.

His final match of junior high was upon him, after this one last victory he'd be on his way to Shiratorizawa where he'd become their new ruler and take over their court. It was pure destiny for him to stand on the strongest court and have its players grovel to him. Nothing about his future plans were shakable in any way. He was on a direct path to glory with no roadblocks.

None until his opponents walked into the court. His court.

"At the prelims for the last national tournament in junior high is where I met an angel." King Tobio Kageyama (Koshianko)

The orange angel bounced onto the court rather giddy, his nose was high in the air sniffing. His face brightened with a red excitement at he smelled his favorite scent; air salonpas. The smell of muscle rub was like catnip to him, irresistible and almost aphrodisiac. The ethereal boy giggled with glee as his teammates looked all around nervously.

"Shou-chan, our opponents look kinds scary…" Izumi said with terror. Hinata peeked around his friend to witness that their opponent was none other than the King of the court himself. Instantaneously his stomach began to churn and his nerves were set aflame. They stood absolutely no chance against the mighty King of the court.

King Tobio turned his head to get a better look at his new foes, they looked to be children in their primary years. Were they at the wrong gym? He sneered at first, but then the gods sent him a divine messenger; a being of pure innocence and energy. Player number one, their captain, was a sight only meant for the King. Wedding bells chimed in his mind as saints sang 'hellelujah' in his ears. His heart fluttered and his pupils dilated.

With his mouth open ever so slightly he whispered to his follower, "Kindaichi, have you ever….seen an angel before?"

The turnip headed boy cocked an eyebrow at his King. "An angel?" he spat out. "I don't put much stock into spiritual things."

Kunimi chuckled loudly. "I don't think you should be getting advice from a human leek!" he said as he rubbed the turnip's head.

Kageyama retreated to the bathroom to wash up before the match, he had already worked up a sweat after having such a celestial meeting. The vision of the orange angel came into his view as he watched him sprint into the bathroom before him clutching his stomach. The King followed him inside and was met with the mystical sight of his angel rubbing himself up and down trying to calm his nerves.

"I thought the air down here would be too impure for you." Kageyama said cooly. On the inside his very bones jittered with excitement, he stood before a real angel.

"Wh-what?" the angel blurted out thoughtlessly. The King's words didn't quite make sense to him. He shivered at the thought of being bullied by such a large and well-renowned foe.

"Aren't you too far down in the atmosphere to survive?" Kageyama asked, he genuinely wondered how an angel was breathing in so much pollution.

'Is that why he looks ill!? He's down here to play his favorite sport and he enduring our dirty air for a day just to play with us?! I shall cherish this match for the rest of my life, I swear it!' the King thought with a stray tear of joy.

"Look, I know I'm short, but I can fly!" Hinata said with confidence.

"I know!" Kageyama exclaimed as he grabbed the divine-being's shoulders. He was so warm and delicate, like touching the rays of a sun. "I wish to see you fly on the court! Please show me your wings!"

Hinata was at a loss for words, did the King of the court know he was a good jumper? Either way, it made little difference to Hinata.

"I'll show you my wings!" the orangette grinned.

"What's your favorite snack?" Kageyama asked enthusiastically.

Hinata blinked in confusion. "Meat buns." He said flatly. 'Why does the King want to know this?' he thought tepidly.

The King nodded his head and bowed to him and Hinata bowed in return. The whole ordeal felt overly formal, but Hinata shrugged it off.

The match was about to start and Kageyama had a pen and paper in his hands as he quickly jotted down notes. His team assumed he was writing battle-strategies or defense routines.

King Tobio was writing a list of things his angel liked.

Air salonpas in every room of the castle.

Volleyballs in every room of the castle.

Volleyball court in the throne room.

Meat bun heater in every room of the castle. Two in the throne rom.

Knee high knee pads.

"Your majesty, do we really need a battle-strategy against these kids? They look like fourth graders…" Kindaichi asked.

"We must impress them!" Kageyama said boldly.

"Why though!?" Kunimi and Kindaichi asked in unison.

"Their captain…." Kageyama pause for dramatics. "…will be your Queen someday."

No one knew what the hell Kageyama meant, but the match began as expected; a one-sided slaughter. It wasn't until the orange angel managed to jump twice as high as his fellow teammates and score a point that anything significant happened. In Kageyama's eyes he swore he saw lights spreading out from the angel's back. He saw wings grow and flap just once before vanishing in an instant.

'I knew it! He flew!' Kageyama thought as he clenched his heart that beat way too fast. 'He isn't human!' Endorphins coursed through his brain as adrenaline pumped him up. 'He's the real deal, a true angel sent to me as a gift from the gods!'

King Tobio was hellbent on impressing his soon-to-be bride by decimating them on the court. His logic being that, once defeated, the angel will see the King's prowess and come running into his arms and become his consort. It was in slow-motion that Kageyama watched his beloved wife jump up and down spiking the ball. His soft, fluffy, orange hair bounced with every movement. His pale skin was free from all blemishes or scars. His slender frame was more dainty than a flower, but more masculine than a woman. Those big bright eyes that shined with the energy and radiance of the sun itself. All of it drew the King into a trance as he watched in awe throughout the match.

When Kindaichi scored the final point to end the match Kageyama lined up to shake hands, captain to captain. As their hands touched in holy matrimony he leaned into the net to exchange vows with his uke.

"Do you want a Shinto, Buddhist, or Christian wedding ceremony!?" he asked with far too much energy in his eager voice. Hinata shuddered at the suddenness of the King's words. He was unable to give an answer.

"What the hell do you think you're doing proposing asshole!? What makes you think you can just have our childhood friend for yourself!?" Kouji screeched at the King. Hinata and Izumi managed to calm Kouji down long enough for the closing ceremony to commence.

'Childhood friend…?' Kageyama pondered. 'That means he's been on Earth for quite some time now! He won't be leaving for the heaven for a while! He's probably here on a mission to win at volleyball! He'll be naturally drawn into Shiratorizawa and we would be on the same court! Me and my angel together on the same team!' Kageyama's lips quivered with anticipation as his teammates looked on in confusion.

"Boss, why is your face all red—"

"We're going to conquer high school nationals as a whole team at Shiratorizwa! Everyone study for your finals if you wish to follow me to greatness!" Kageyama announced as he drew his cape around himself snug.

"You!" came an ethereal voice from behind him. The king was already familiar with the angel's heavenly voice and quickly spun around so greet him, but was cut off.

"If you're the reigning King of the court, then I'm going to be the one to defeat you! I'm going to be the last one standing on the court!" Hinata said as his eyes watered with the sorrow of his match loss.

'I knew it! He's an angel who craves victory as much as I do!' Kageyama grinned, clearly pleased with his angel.

"The only one who remains on the court is the winner; the one who is stronger." Kageyama began as he straightened his crown. "If you want to be the victor then-!?" Kageyama's eyes widened in surprise as he witness his archangel began shedding tears; tears that were likely the purest water in the known world. Kageyama's heart squeezed tightly in his chest, he couldn't handle the sight of an angel wasting tears over him.

He pulled the orange angel into an oversized hug and held onto him firmly. "Don't cry dumbass! I can't take that much beauty in all at once!"

'Damnit! I called him a dumbass!' Kageyama scolded himself. It was a bad habbit of his to call his close teammates rude names. He made a mental note to cut back on the name calling.

Hinata didn't even register his words, he only knew that the hug was intense and far beyond his understanding. He stood there completely still and accepted his fate. He wordlessly frowned while waiting for the King to finish his overly-familiar embrace.

After an awkward amount of time the King loosened his grip enough for Hinata to look up at the face of the mighty King. His lower half was still smooshed against the King, but his head was free to move. In all but a flash the King's lips gently met with his own. Hinata's face grew bright red as he began to flail in the larger male's grasp. Kouji, Izumi, and all of Kitagawa Daichi gawked on in confusion as they witnessed the likes of something out of this world.

"I will be back for you, my beloved." Kageyama promised. "When I return victorious, I shall take you to our castle in the North."

Hinata may have passed out standing up at this point.

Kouji and Izumi escorted Hinata home that night, determined to not let that freak-King anywhere near their precious, and very innocent, friend.

"You gonna be okay Shou-chan?" Izumi asked as he gave a concerned look to his friend.

Hinata looked like a space cadet, his eyes were downcast, his cheeks were flushed, and his lips were parted enough to let drool out. "I….I'll survive…somehow…" he murmured as he wobbled holding his bike upright.
