My Comfort Ships | Haikyuu One Shots

Crush | AsaNoya

"Asahi.... I'm sorry...." Nishinoya sighed as he buried his face into his knees.

He is sitting on his bed feeling lonely about himself.

His phone rang and he lifted his face from the sadness he is feeling right now.

>> Calling Ryu <<

He picked it up.

"Noya.. Hey.. What's up?" Tanaka greeted.

"Hey, Ryu... I'm fine... How's the practice? Tell Ennoshita and the others that I'm really sorry..."

"Nah.. They understand... Are you... okay?" Tanaka asked again

"Yeah..." Nishinoya replied with no interest on his tone.

"I'll see you in practice tomorrow. You're gonna attend the practices, right?"

"I.. I don't really know, Ryu..."

"Hmm.. Just take it easy, alright? No one's pressuring you..." Tanaka simply said which makes Noya teary-eyed.

"Okay, Thank you, Ryu.. Good night."

"Okay, Dude, good night."

Nishinoya stopped attending practice since the third years graduated... It feels like the court is always empty... like there is always something missing... He felt incomplete especially that Asahi graduated...

Nishinoya feels so bad, like volleyball isn't complete without his ace .. He claimed Asahi already but he haven't confess what and how he truly feels...

It frustrates the little libero... He got his chance, but he blew it up.. and he will never have the chance again... this makes him so depressed.

He sighed.

He got few absences in his class since they started as Third Years, Ennoshita and the others got so worried about him.

After two weeks, the new captain decided that he needs to do something about Nishinoya.

It was end of the class, when Ennoshita dragged Nishinoya to the rooftop.

"What the hell, Chikara!?" the libero asked loudly but was completely ignored.

The captain is pulling Noya's arm as they find their way upstairs.

"You stay here..." Ennoshita simply said and left to attend to practice

"Wh- Wait, Chikara!!" Nishinoya grunted but the taller already left.

I don't need to obey him... I'll go home... Nishinoya told himself and started walking towards the door.

He stopped as a tall figure stepped up to the rooftop and approached him

"Noya... Hi.."

.

"A.. Asahi.. What... What are you doing here?"

"Well... Everyone's worried about you... and I..  uh.. they want me to talk to you.. Are you alright? What's going on? Why are you skipping practice?"

"Asahi.. I.. uh... I'm sorry! I know I made a promise to support the team... but... I... ah... I find it hard.. to ... continue playing" Noya replied lowering his head as he stared at the floor.

"Nishinoya... If... you need someone to talk to.. You know... You can always talk to me, right?"

"I... I know... but" Nishinoya whispered but loud enough for the former ace to hear.

"So, what's been going on then?" Asahi softly spoke as he put his arms on the libero's shoulders.

Noya slowly looked at Asahi with tears in his eyes...

"H..Hey.. What's wrong?! Oh.. no.. no.. Don't cry!!! Something hurts? Do I need to call an ambulance?!" Asahi panicked.

The taller stopped as he felt arms around his body.

"A..Asahi.. I.. uh.. I... need you to know.. that.. I ... uh..."

"I know, Noya..."

The libero lifted his face wondering if they both refers to the same thing...

"What.. do you mean?" Nishinoya asked staring at Asahi's orbs.

Asahi smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well, Nishinoya... I.. hmmm... How should I put it? Well... I heard you and Tanaka talking about me before the graduation... Is it true that... you... like me?" Asahi asked whispering the last two words.

Nishinoya lowered his head and buried his face to Asahi's chest... he slightly nodded.

"So it's true!?! Nishinoya!!! I want to see your face... Come on..."

Once their eyes met, Asahi smiled sweetly.
"I like you, too, Yu."
