"Hey, Kodzuken! Wake up! It's time. If you woke up late, then I swear I'll be mad. Okay maybe not mad, but please wake up early and go to work. I your husband Hinata Shoyo has taken the responsibility of waking you up!"
Kenma lazily gets out of his bed listening to his alarm which is his husband's voice for years now. Next to their bed is a table, there sits a plushie of Hinata when was in MSBY. Kenma stood in front of the table and then looked at the plushie
"Look cute today too."
He then turns off his alarm and starts getting ready. After his shower, he comes out and picks up the phone that's been ringing for the past 10 minutes but Kenma being Kenma wasn't gonna come out until he finished his shower.
Five missed calls.
3 missed calls, Kuroo Tetsuro
1missed call, Bokuto Keiji
1missed call, Mom.
Kenma dials his mother first.
Ringing*
"Hello?"
"You finally dialed. I wanted to ask you what you are doing today?"
"Picking Shoyo up, Mom. You know it anyway."
"Well say Hi from me too. I miss my other son."
"Sure."
____________
Dialing Kuroo Tetsuro*
"Kenmaaaaa!!"
"Shut up you're loud", Kenma says in his dull voice through the phone.
"I was just trying to cheer you up!"
"I know."
"Then I'll see you at the office tomorrow."
"Kuroo."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
"It's nothing. Just take care."
___________
Dialing Bokuto Keiji*
"Hello?"
"Ah Kenma. Did I call too early?"
"No, it's alright. I was in the shower that's why I couldn't pick up."
Kenma hears some noises in the background,
"Yes yes, Kou I am talking to Kenma."
"Was that Bokuto?"
"Hmm... Sorry about him. He's just too excited."
"About?"
"Kou and I wanted to invite you to dinner tomorrow if that's okay?"
"Sure, I'll come. I finish early tomorrow."
"Okay then, enjoy your day with Shoyo today."
Kenma smiles on the phone.
"I will."
________________
"Alright gotta get ready for my date today."
Kenma picks out black ripped jeans with his oversized bouncing ball hoodie which Shoyo loves, that he tried to steal many times even though Kenma asked if he really wanted one he could get for him. But Hinata would always say,
"They won't have your smell"
And then he would tackle Kenma and take the hoodie and run out of the room and then the house for his practice.
Kenma checks himself in the mirror.
"This should be alright."
Kenma picks up his ring from the table again.
He reminisces about the night Hinata proposed to him.

8 October 2019
________________
Kenma was just back from work and was gonna call Hinata as he promised for their fifth anniversary. He takes the keys out of his pocket only to find that the door is unlocked.
'But no one other than me and Shoyo has the key?
Did Shoyo give Kuroo the spare key because of what happened last time?'
Kenma decides to open the door.
"Umm... Kuroo? Is that you?"
No answer.
"Kuroo this isn't funny at all. Maybe I should change the locks after all. I'll give Shoyo the new one next time I meet him."
Kenma closes the door behind and starts walking to their living room.
"Tch should've bought a smaller house. Even walking to the living room is a pain."
Kenma looks at the living room.
'Why are the lights off? I thought I told the maid to switch em on before leaving.'
Kenma switches on the lights. The room was filled with decorations and the one person he wanted to see the most today.
"You look like you're about to have a heart attack Kenma."
"S- shoyo!?"
"Happy Five Year Anniversary Ken Ken."
"I thought you were coming back next week?!"
"Hehe, I lied. I wanted to give you a surprise. So, did I surprise you?"
Kenma chuckles.
"You surprised me alright."
"There's one more thing."
"?"
Hinata bends on his one knee.
"S- shoyo!?"
"Kenma. I know you've waited five years for me. I don't ever wanna make you wait again. I'll never leave you alone. I love you and I'll always love you. Will my Kodzuken marry me?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I'll marry you."
Hinata slowly places the ring on Kenma's finger and pulls him into a kiss.
End of memory*
Kenma picks his phone and keys.
During his ride, he stopped by a flower shop.
"Ah, Mr. Hinata. The same lilies I'm guessing?"
"Yes, thank you."
.
.
.
"Shoyo I'm here."
The wind was blowing fast.
"Hey I know I'm late but it was only by five minutes. I had to stop by the flower shop to get your favorite white lilies."
"You sure you're gonna stay silent?"
"Fine then be it. I'll just sit by your side and enjoy my date."
Kenma places the lilies on the side where Shoyo is.
Kenma opens his phone and plays a recording.
"Kenma!!! You brought these for me!!?? From now on white lilies are my favorite flowers !! If you gift these to me when I'm mad at you, you'll be forgiven and I'll talk to you again."
"Shoyo you promised me you'll talk to me again if I gifted you these flowers. Then why don't you talk to me? Didn't you say you'll never leave me alone again. Then why aren't you talking to me!? Am I that bad of a husband? Should I have stopped you that time and not let you go? I guess there's no point in arguing with you about it. Can you give me a sign that you are attending our anniversary today?
The wind blows harder.
Kenma smiles,
"Thank you. I really missed you for the past month. It was hard not coming here and cry. I'm strong now aren't I? I hope you're proud of me."
As to ensure Kenma that he'll always be proud of him, the wind blew a little gentler.
"You know, Akaashi invited me for dinner tomorrow. I said I'll go. See, I'm trying to get on with things. So, thank you for coming in my life and make me come out of my comfort zone."
Kenma smiles again.
"Of course I wish you could go too."
After that Kenma silently sits beside Hinata's grave for the whole afternoon, sometimes talking in between like he's enjoying he's on an afternoon date with Hinata.
Time passes and it was almost night.
"Guess We can go home now?"
Kenma picks up a lily from the bunch. As he was looking at the Lily, his eyes were blurring.
"Shoyo I really miss you. I miss you in my daily life. I miss you waiting for me at home. I miss your touch."
"Kenma."
Kenma looks around him.
"Huh!? Shoyo!!?"
"I love you."
"Shoyo!!?? Was that you!!?"
But there was no response. Was it Kenma's hallucination or Hinata really did visit, Kenma never got to know.
Kenma clutches the flower in his hands and starts walking away...
"I miss you too Kenma. I really do. I'm always by your side:)"
With that the wind stopped blowing and their date ended.
