WEDNE
Write Every Day No Exceptions is something that I did a long time ago and have been meaning to do again for a while... and now I guess that's what I'm doing. This one's getting posted for Jan 3rd, I guess, and if I have the ability, I'll catch up on the 1st and 2nd sometime.

Summary: Hinata does a dumb thing and Kageyama has to save him from himself.
Hinata's been gone for a while, hasn't he?"
Kageyama glances over at Sugawara, who shrugs and smiles in that mysterious way of his.
"Didn't he say that he was going to the bathroom?"
Kageyama snorts. "He probably just stopped on the way to chase a butterfly."
"If you say so...", says Sugawara, and that would have been that, except that now Kageyama can't stop looking at the clock every few seconds, wondering what *is* taking Hinata so long.
He only lasts a few more rounds of setting the ball back and forth before he catches the ball and tosses it to Sugawara. "Gonna go to the bathroom..."
"Of course. I'll go practice with Daichi until you return, then."
Kageyama grunts, already halfway out of the gym at this point. He checks the bathroom, poking his head into each one of the stalls, but there’s no sign of him. It’s not until he starts really searching, that he catches sight of a flash of orange hair down an out of the way hall.
"What the heck are you doing, moron?"
Hinata twists around to look up at Kageyama, who is now standing with his hands on his hips and a dark cloud hovering over his head.
"Kageyamaaaaaaaa!" Hinata flails with his free hand. "I'm stuck!"
"Like that's not obvious." Kageyama leans over Hinata's shoulder to stare through the glass pane of the vending machine. "How did you manage *that*?"
"I went to pee, but then on the way back, I thought that I really wanted candy! But then it got stuck when it fell down the machine, and I tried to reach in for it, but now I can’t get my hand out." Hinata doesn't quite sniffle, but it's obvious that he wants to. His eyes are glossy and his nose is just a little bit pink. It makes Kageyama want to kiss it better and punch him in his stupid face at the same time.
"Only you could get your hand stuck up there hunting for *candy*, idiot. And stop yanking! If you hurt your wrist and can’t play, I’m going to *kill* you." The floor is cold on his bare knees as he crouches down, trying to see if he can help wiggle Hinata's arm free. "Why didn't you just buy a second one to knock it free?"
"It was the last one!" Hinata wails like his life is ending. "And I don't have enough money to get two!"
"How did you even survive to become a high school student? Don’t answer that question!" Kageyama feels around the edges of Hinata's arm where it's stuck in the machine, eyebrows furrowed in concentration. Hinata's arms are way too skinny to get stuck in something like this, so maybe...
"You haven't let go of the candy, have you?"
"Why would I do that?" Hinata asks, a guileless expression on his face up until Kageyama smacks him over the head. “Ow!”
"Let go! Your fist is wider than your open hand!"
"Wha- But then I won't get the candy!"
Kageyama hits Hinata again, scowling. "I need you more than you need candy!"
Hinata stares at Kageyama for an overly long time, then breaks into a wide grin. "You must need me a lot, then."
Kageyama stutters, "On the court, I mean! I need you more on the court!" but he can feel his face going red. "I- oh forget it. Just open your hand!"
"Okay! Okay!" Hinata does just that, less stubborn now that he feels complimented, and just as Kageyama predicted, the moment he does, he's able to get his fist out of the narrow vending machine slot.
“Wow!” Hinata stares at his hand, spreading his fingers wide and wiggling them. “That really worked!”
“Of course it did.” Kageyama says with a scoff, looking away even as Hinata laughs and throws himself at him for a celebratory hug.
“You’re a genius, Kageyama!”
“Whatever. We’re losing practice time here, you know.”
Hinata’s eyes go huge and he scrambles to his feet with a yelp. “Oh noooooo! I was going to practice with Noya-senpai too! C’mon! C’mon!”
He grabs Kageyama’s hand to start running them back to the courts, candy completely forgotten.
“Aaaah! Slow down! Don’t bounce so high!” Kageyama screeches as Hinata drags him along. “Why are we even friends?”
“Because you need me the most!” Hinata singsongs as he squeezes Kageyama’s fingers, and well. Kageyama can’t really argue.
