His Warrior Queen: A Haikyuu!! Novel (Tsukishima x OC)

Chapter 50: I'm Drunk

Nakano's mouth hung wide open as she stared at the limousine parked in front of Karasuno.

Tsukishima had made good on his promise to himself to shower the strawberry blonde in love and affection.  After the wonderful picnic lunch, he'd continued his solicitous ways for the rest of the school day and on into practice.  Nakano finally had to scold him a bit, as the boy kept trying to steal kisses from her during their spiking drills when he thought none of his teammates were watching them.  He pouted adorably when she insisted that he follow their rules about PDA during practice, which made her smile and whisper to him that when practice was over he could resume his spoiling of her.  Oh I will, Roses, the blonde thought, in spades.  

Nakano had gone up to change after practice smiling broadly.  She was really looking forward to spending the weekend not only with her currently very affectionate boyfriend, but also with the rest of the Three Bro-sketeers and in fact the whole Gym 3 Squad.  Hinata had confirmed that he was going to join them on Saturday, but had to babysit Natsu that evening and couldn't get away early.  As much as she enjoyed Hinata's company, Nakano was a little grateful for an evening without the overly enthusiastic ginger.  I know that Kei will be glad of it as well, she thought.

She'd brought a change of clothes for their travel to Tokyo, but decided to skip the sweater she'd packed and instead wear the Fukuiraptor hoodie Kei had slung around her earlier in the day.  It was just as warm and comfy as the sweater, but it had the added bonus of smelling like the handsome tall middle blocker who actually owned it.  As Nakano slid the garment over her head, she breathed in deeply, relishing the smell of Kei.  It smelled like pine trees and kind of musky and even faintly fresh and spicy in some way.

It smelled like boy.  In the best way possible.

As she snuggled herself into the hoodie, Nakano heard Kiyoko chuckle behind her.  "Wearing the boyfriend's hoodie again, I see," she said, the smile evident in her tone.

"Why do boys smell so good?" Nakano muttered, grinning broadly.

Yachi giggled.  "They only smell good if you like them," she said, blushing faintly.  "I think Yamaguchi smells wonderful, but I stood a little too close to Ennoshita once after practice...ooof."  The blonde wrinkled her nose and giggled.

Kiyoko blushed gently and looked to the floor, saying nothing.  Yachi and Nakano exchanged a look - they knew the beautiful third year had a crush on one of their teammates, but she refused to discuss who that person might be.

"Well, right after practice might not be the best time to check out anybody's scent," Nakano chuckled, while privately thinking that Kei did actually smell pretty good even while working out.  "Anyway, girls, I'll see you Sunday!  Kei and I are off to Tokyo!"

"Staying in a love hotel?" Kiyoko asked slyly.

"Kiyoko-senpai!" Nakano yelled, laughing.  "We are not!  We're actually going to stay with Kuroo.  We're going to see Centimillimental tomorrow night and I can't wait!"  The girl slung her bags over her shoulder and headed for the door.

"Have a great time!"  Yachi called.

"Behave yourselves!" Kiyoko reminded her.

Nakano paused, her hand on the doorjamb, looking back in at her two friends.  "Aren't those mutually exclusive?" the girl asked saucily, waving goodbye and dashing off, hearing her friends' laughter fade behind her.

Kei was waiting for her at the bottom of the steps.  He caught her up in his arms, swinging the girl around.  "Ready?" he asked.

"More than ready," she replied, kissing him on the nose.
