Cupid's Queue // Nishinoya x OC

One's Untold Past | 012

Ayumu blinked. He remembered being kicked on his knees from behind by his cousin while an angry libero was rushing at him. All of a sudden, Noya was leaning towards him and them grabbed his hair firmly. The silver light-grey boy was about to protest but the other's words stopped his train of thoughts. 

"Bastard, take responsibility." A stamped mark manifested somehow on Nishinoya's hands. "W-what?" Ayumu stuttered at the serious look Noya was supporting. The libero didn't reply but tugged on the other's hair towards the side while raising the stamp mark on the air and bring it down the other's neck quickly. 

Property of Nishinoya Yuu. Don't touch! The shorter boy ran away quickly at Sugawara's surprised gasp and shouts. Ayumu should be angry since it was hard to wash. However, he didn't seem to mind it at all. In fact, it felt nice to have Nishinoya protective of him. 'I like this,' his mind whispered. 

"Did you get your libero mad or something?" Kuroo muttered, dark eyes tracing the ink. He raised his hand to trace the letters but a sudden chill from across the room tried to stop him.

'He's glaring, isn't he?' The Nekoma captain sweat-dropped as he can hear a certain libero's growling. 

'Just confess already, damn,' He raised both of his hands to show defeat. 'But I understand,' Kuroo knew how Ayumu's smart brain couldn't process another person's emotion towards him. 'Give it a try then, Nishinoya-san. He's as dense as a rock.' 

"Good luck, chibi-chan!" He shouted. 

"Who you calling chibi?!" 

"Nishinoya!" 

"But captain-"

----------------------------------------- 

"Yuu-" 

"Hmmph." 

"Yuu-" 

"Hmmph." 

"Nishinoya-" 

"Hmmph- wait," He paused. Noya's last name was weird coming out from the male manager. Taken aback, the libero blinked several times before asking, "what did you call me?" 

"Look, can we talk?" Ayumu brushed his hair back, sighing, "What's with the marking-" 

"Are you for real?" Noya shouted with a blank expression on his face. "I know you can't see it well but the others have already told you." 

"Ye-" 

"I don't want you to say anything yet." The libero looked on the floor, fist tightening. "Idiot, I want you to realize and feel the same!" Noya looked up and glared at those sparkling hazel eyes he had fallen in love with.

"...Why are you so smart but so dumb?" 

"Yuu," Ayumu trailed off, not knowing what to say."Take your time bastard," The libero gritted, "because I'll be here waiting and waiting." 

"I-" Ayumu gulped, reaching out to grab the other's wrist."Just-" Noya stepped back, "don't break my heart." He whispered before running away. 

"Yuu!" The male manager called back. 

"Not a confession!" Noya shouted back."...." A breathless chuckle came out of Ayumu. 

"I'm such an idiot," he crouched down, hiding his reddened face from the world with his arms. 

"Eh? Kamedori-senpai?" Yachi, who passed by saw the male manager's tiny form. She yelped and clutched her chest when she saw the unusual flustered face the manager was supporting.
