[Hold up for a second, he's staring at his phone in silent disbelief. Didn't Hinata hear anything he just said?]
You complete idiot, are you even listening to me?
Of course I'm going to do that. We made a promise. You promised you'd match me even when I got to the top of the world! I'm going to make it happen. Besides, why would I want anybody else?!
I told you I was going to make you invincible. How can I do that if I leave?!
I'm listening! So stop calling me an idiot, idiot!
[ There's the telltale sound of him huffing, but then he grows quiet. Unusually so, probably. ]
I'm not going back on that, I don't go back on what I say. We're still going to be standing on the court together, and we'll be the best in the world.
[ Oh god, why is he getting teary-eyed? It's a time where Hinata wishes he wasn't so emotional, but he manages a laugh even as he scrubs at his eyes. ]
Stop being an idiot and I'll stop calling you one.
[The longer that silence goes, the more concerned Kageyama gets. And then, thankfully, Hinata talks.]
That's what I've been saying.
[And how many times does he have to say it before it sinks in for good. They're rivals but they're the kind of rivals that keep pushing each other to do better.]
[ The words have far less bite to them than even the usual amount, because it's kind of hard to insult someone when they're being so nice to you.
He grins to himself, thumping his fist down on the ground next to him, and nods even though Kageyama can't see it. ]
You better not, because you're not getting rid of me anytime soon! [ There's a small pause, and then he decides he can run more later. ] I'll be home in a bit, got it?

You better keep your promise, Kageyama.

I'm not going back on it either.

It seemed like he finally got through his teammate's dense head.]
Good!
I'll see you soon.
