I'll Be There (Nishinoya x Reader) ON HOLD

Hyper

Nishinoya watched as Y/n's eyes shone, glimmering with tears. He couldn't tell if they were happy or sad, until Sugawara gasped and lifted her up, his hands on her hips, and spun her around before putting her down, both of them laughing.

"You did it! You did it Y/n!" He hugged her. Then realisation seemed to hit him.

"Um, how happy are you right now-?" He cautiously asked. Was something wrong? He watched as she grinned, and her brother took a step back. She started to giggle. 

"Suga? What's going on?" Noya started walking over to them, and he saw Daichi back away. Okay. So the two people here who really know Y/n are scared, and she's acting so energetic it reminded him of Hinata, which was very out of character. She seemed...

Hyper. Oh no-

"She competed in something this morning, you could say," So that was why she wasn't here. "And the 'judge' of sorts sent an email with the results. She won, and when she gets really happy like this, because she's always so calm, she get really hyper. Like You, added to Hinata on steroids times a thousand. It's like she regresses 10 years and becomes a 6-year-old again." 

Everyone stopped in their tracks, once again staring at Y/n. They all started to back away like their two upperclassmen. 

"Wow..." Noya breathed, and got ready to run. She grinned again.

"asdfghjklsfygncbquaehuxnbs."She literally started bounding off the walls, like a stray volleyball that someone had thrown too hard.

"Sorry guys!" Suga's voice could be heard over the faint boing! of the polished walls. That had got to hurt.

"I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA." Noya managed to shout, as Hinata decided to join her, and Tsukkishima threw volleyballs at them. The noise had increased drastically as Tanaka and Daichi started shouting.

"OKAY, GOOD LUCK!" He vaguely heard Suga shout back, before running out of the gym.

He could feel his feet pounding on the asphalt through his shoes, the steady beat familiar. His idea was risky, but it always seemed to work for him, so maybe it would work for her too. He ran out of the school and down the road, stopping as soon as he reached the Sakanoshita Market.

"Coach!" He gasped. The coach himself was almost at the door, looking as if he were about to leave for practice, as he probably was.

"We have an emergency! Hyper, need, ice lolly." He panted, eyes wide. Ukai just looked at him.

"If you're hyper then why do you need an ice lolly?" He inquired, looking extremely confused at this very non-hyper Nishinoya.

"No, it's Y/n and sugar helps calm me down, please?" Ukai nodded, surprised at the news of a hyper Y/n. 

"Sure?" Noya dashed around him, grabbing one out of the freezer.

"I'll pay later, bye!" He ran off, back towards the gym praying that this would work.

When he got back he was greeted by the sight of Y/n standing on top of one of the poles that holds the volleyball net up, her left leg behind her in this position:

Kageyama on top of Hinata, both of them lying on the ground, Tsukki hugging Yams in the corner, Daichi and Suga huddled in the other corner looking like everything around them had gone to chaos, and Ennoshita and Tanaka sword fighting with baseball bats.

Wow, she's flexible. He thought, before running over to the pole Y/n was standing on.

"HEY, Y/n!" He shouted up at her, over the clanging of wooden bats. She looked down, and her leg swung back to join her other one. She giggled as she lost balance. He held his arms out, and she landed perfectly into them.

"Oops! Nice receive." She patted his head before jumping out of his arms, running circles around the pole, ducking under the net. He ran over to one of the two unoccupied corners, and unwrapped the ice lolly, sitting down and calling out to Y/n again.

"Hey, I have sugar!" He smiled, and she ran over to him, and grabbed it. Then, he pulled her into his lap, hoping to stop her from running around with flavoured-ice-on-a-stick She leaned her head against his chest, peacefully biting the frozen treat. He wrapped his hands around her tummy and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Want some?" She offered it to him, and he looked at her in surprise. Her eyes were adorable. Probably her puppy dog ones.

"Sure!" He nibbled at the corner she hadn't bitten at. He looked up, and everyone had gone quiet. Again. What was it, third time today? Y/n had gone back to eating the ice lolly, blissfully oblivious to the stares, and he hugged her protectively.

"What? I know how to calm hyper people down!" He shrugged defensively, and Tanaka dropped his bat. Ennoshita took the opportunity to bonk him on the head.

"Wow, seriously, Mr Enno-full-of-Shita?"

"Not very creative, are you Tanaka." He picked up the bats and walked to the storage room, while Tsukki scrambled away from Tadashi, obviously embarrassed. Kageyama and Hinata stayed on their pile on the floor.

"Hey Noya, if you don't mind could you stay there for the rest of practice?" Daichi asked, as Suga stood up carefully. "She's scary when she goes crazy." Y/n's older brother added. He nodded, and hugged Y/n a little tighter.

"I got her." He smiled, as she continued eating her popsicle. He could feel the ends of her hair tickling his skin, and he fiddled with them with his right hand, his left still firmly around her waist. He nuzzled her neck and she giggled, biting down on the stick the popsicle was previously on. She yawned, as Noya took the stick out of her mouth, throwing it towards the bin a few meters down the wall. It landed in. Yes!!!!!

He felt something shift in his lap, and he looked down. Y/n had curled up with her head on his chest, asleep, little puffs of air coming out of her mouth. He adjusted himself, and hugged her, making sure she didn't fall off. Nishinoya knew it was creepy, but he just watched her sleep, watching the way her eyelids fluttered like she was looking around in a dream, the way her golden h/c hair caught the light from the gym, the way her features relaxed.

He smiled, rested his head on top of hers and followed her into sleep.

Sugawara POV

"Do you think we should wake them up?" Everyone was sitting in a circle. It was the end of practice, and they were gathered on the opposite end of the gym to the sleeping pair, almost ready to pack up. 

"Maybe when we leave." Daichi replied to him. After all, his sister was sleeping quite peacefully, and every time Suga had seen her asleep recently, she'd been disturbed, tossing and turning as if she was trying to run away from something, or someone. He was afraid he knew just who.

"Yeah, that's a good idea." He sighed, getting up and going to untie the net. 

"Don't worry about Y/n. She's a good person. She has an extensive knowledge, and the ability to apply said knowledge to situations. She'll be okay." Daichi patted his shoulder, and kissed his cheek. Koshi managed to crack a smile at that.

"Yeah, I know. But as an older brother I can't help but worry." He finished untying the net and Daichi took it from him, calling the first years to continue packing up, as Suga walked over to the corner.

"Hey, Nishinoya?" He carefully patted his Kouhai's spikey head, careful not to wake Y/n.

"Yeah?" He looked up, still sleepy and bleary-eyed. 

"Is it okay if you carry Y/n home? I'll grab all our stuff and you can stay the night." He stifled a yawn, covering his mouth.

"Sure! Sorry, Suga!" He grinned, and carefully stood up. He seemed to be extra-careful with Y/n's small frame, holding it like it was a precious piece of china that had been in his family for centuries, and if he made one wrong move, it would break. He supposed, knowing what he knew, that could apply to Y/n. Just not the centuries old thing.

But as he turned away, out of the corner of his eye, he could have sworn that Noya had kissed her forehead.
