rain ~hinata x reader~

-5-

over the weekend, you had practiced playing piano for your recital next week. you were pretty nervous since your teacher said you were going to be the first one playing. you cursed as soon as you heard the words.

the rest of the weekend was pretty boring, nothing besides studying and reading a manga you had lying in your room. 

it was monday, and you were thankful it was the last period of the day. sitting in class, you waited for the familiar bell to ring, so you could go to the gym. in third period, you had noticed hinata actually really listening and paying attention. you had hoped he's getting better with his studying. you'll find out when you study with him in the gym.

you had also noticed hinata being more kept to himself. he was obviously still talkative and loud, but he had toned it down just a little. you took this as a sign of him gathering information to pass his exams.

as the bell rang, you left your seat, going to the gym as usual. people were running through the halls, you noticed someone had given someone else a wedgie, laughing as the victim turned angry in a second.

entering the gym, you look for the tangerine you call your friend, scanning the area again from not seeing him. your features twitch in confusion, now wishing you had his number.

noticing everyone else not practicing, taking a water break, you walk up to the first person who was closest to you. you remembered his name as asahi.

"hey, um- do you know where hinata is?"

the tall player looked at you, and stops drinking from his water bottle. instead of asahi's voice, a different one comes in, known as nishinoya.

"l/n!" he didn't waste any time, jumping on your shoulders. "how's your piano lessons?! what's the hardest song you've ever played?! how long have you been playing-" ever since you'd mentioned you played piano, he was non stop asking you questions about it.

"get off of me noya!" you playfully laugh, pushing him off of you, almost losing your balance. 

"do you think you could play for us one day?!" he looked at you with big eyes.

you simply roll your eyes, already hearing that question 100 times in your past. you look back at asahi, seeing him softly smiling.

"oh look, there's kiokyo-" asahi said, looking and pointing in a direction where, might i add, no one was there.

"KIOKYO!" and like that, he was off, hawk eyes scanning for the beautiful girl. tanaka joined in, right beside him, while everyone else just looked at them and kiyoko was hiding behind yachi and suga.

you cover your mouth from laughing, and turn back to asahi, clearing your throat. "hinata..." you said, reminding him.

"i don't really know, he left as soon as the bell rang." he scratched the back of his head, smiling with guilt.

you look around confused. soon you realize people were packing up and leaving.

"are you guys not practicing after school?"

asahi only shakes his head. "not today, but we are tomorrow."

you nod, and shift your weight.

"kiyoko would you like us to walk you home?!" both tanaka and noya yelled in unison.

you hear her very quietly and softly say, "no thank you." and with that, she leaves, yachi following her. you shake your head, and thank asahi, him saying to holler to him if you need help.

you decided to leave and walk home since you came to the conclusion hinata had already left. 

pacing down the sidewalk, you hear a bike, and your name being yelled.

"L/N!!" 

turning around, you spot hinata panting very heavily, having a notebook in his hand and waving it around. you noticed it to be your notebook, and realize you must've forgot it.

you laugh at him as you watch him ride up to you, and stop to get off his bike. he hands you your notebook and you take it, watching him close his eyes as he still pants.

"what are you doing?" i ask, laughing.

"you forgot your notebook!"

you look at him, and for a second you feel a big spike of happiness, and you simply break into a smile.

"you dork," you say, and continue walking, hinata suddenly regaining his compose and walked beside you. you take a look at him again, noticing his nose. "what happened there?" you ask, booping his nose, since he had a bandaid on it.

he looks at his nose for a second, trying to remember what happened. "oh! just got hit in the face again."

"of course you did.." you playfully roll my eyes.

"what's that supposed to mean!" he says, booping your nose.

you look at him, challenging eyes. you boop him back, only to be booped again.

you giggle a little, hiding your face. "stop it!"

he breaks into a soft laugh, a smile resting on his face. he boops you again, and you boop back, making sure not to hurt his nose. the two of you keep at it, going back and forth, turning away from each other as it was the other person's turn to boop.

"wait," you say, a question popping up in your head. "why do you have to study so bad?" you realized you two hadn't studied today, and no one else was studying as much as hinata, well from your point of view.

"oh! we're going to nationals! in tokyo! but i have to pass my classes to be able to go," he then boops you, excitedly. 

your eyes grow wide, and you ask him what day, which he tells you.

"that's the same day i have my recital," you saying, giving him another boop.

"you need to play for me one day," he whines, booping you. you scrunch your nose at him.

"then maybe come to my house one day!" you say, "oh, give me your number." you say, getting your phone out, remembering you wanted to have it, and boop him before he gets to say anything.
