Capture this moment (Haikyuu x m!reader)

"(L/n)-senpai, I need your help! It's urgent!"

Looking down (PRETEND YOURE AT LEAST A LITTLE TALLER PLEASE) at your orange-headed underclassman, you could see the desperation in his eyes.

"What is it Hinata?"

"I need your help studying for a test! I made a bet against Stupidyama that I'd get a better score than him!"

You rubbed your chin, thinking about it,
"Isn't that kinda cheating?"

"Nuh-uh! He got Sugawara-senpai to help him too! If he gets an upperclassman to help him, then I should too!"

The logic kind of checked out, so you ended up agreeing, much to the happiness of Hinata. But there was no way you'd be going all the way to his house, so it ended up becoming a sleepover-tutor session.

"Woah, you have a house?!"

"Of course I have a house. What did you think before now?"

He looked off to the side,
"I don't know, I kinda just thought you popped up whenever someone needed help, like a genie!"

Well you definitely weren't able to fulfill any wishes. Or could you?

"Let's take a closer look at this problem. (x^2 -1). Do you see anything special about it?"

Hinata stared at the numbers (and letter) for a few moments before it clicked in his head.
"It's a difference of squares!"

"Yup! And that means when we try to factor it, it turns into..."

This part took a minute for Hinata to figure out, but you remained outwardly patient, even if you were strangling him in your mind.

He quickly scribbled something on his paper, and luckily, it was the right answer.

"Nice job Hinata!" You celebrated the small victory, as in the past hour that you've been tutoring, that seemed to be the only concept that stuck with him.

You stood up from where you were sitting, stretching your legs,
"I think we should take a break for now. What do you say?"

He was already in your backyard with a volleyball.

But then you realized, this was the perfect opportunity for a candid photo! A picture of a dedicated volleyball player, practicing whenever he has the chance! Stealthily, you snuck out into the backyard, camera in hand.

You only managed to sneak in a few photos before Hinata noticed what you were doing, quickly rushing up to your camera to see the pictures of himself.

"I look so cool there! Take another one!"

He ran in front of the camera, quickly striking a pose with his volleyball only to feel embarrassed mere moments later.

"D-delete that!"

You examined the photo with a smirk,
"Aww, but you look so cool in this picture!"

He looked at you with hopeful eyes,
"Really?! You think so?"

Even if he repeatedly stated his coolness, hearing someone else, especially you, call him cool felt like he'd struck gold. Even confident people need compliments!

"Really! I do! And with just a little bit of editing, it can look even cooler!"

Curious of your statement, Hinata followed you back inside to your room, watching as you took the SD card from your camera and inserting it into your laptop.
