Butterflies In My Stomach [Nino Nakano x Male Reader]

Chapter 10: TALK

Y/n sat up. No clue where he was, the only thing he remembered was freaking out in the elevator. He quickly took a look around and calmed down when he realised he was in the Quint's apartment. Fuutarou and Itsuki were over at the dining table, both seemed to be studying. They soon noticed he was awake.

"Hey Y/n," Fuutarou said, breaking away from Itsuki and coming over to him, "You good?"

"Uh... you tell me, I don't remember anything..." Y/n said, a confused tone in his voice.

"Nino came in dragging your body earlier, she said you'd collapsed in the elevator" Itsuki called out, "We just laid you on the couch and left you there. Nino's just in the bathroom at the minute."

On cue, Nino exited the bathroom, sending a wave of relief through Y/n's body. She walked over to the couch where Y/n was sitting and placed a hand on his forehead.

"Feeling any better?" she asked softly.

Y/n nodded, still feeling a bit groggy from his collapse. He couldn't help but feel a pang of gratitude towards Nino for taking care of him.

"Thank you, Nino," he said, his voice barely above a whisper, "I'm sorry for causing a scene...

"I-It's alright..." Nino mumbled, looking down at her feet, "I was just wondering what happened?"

"Uhh I don't really know..." Y/n muttered, "All I remember is you finding me and that's i- OH!"

"What's wrong!?" Nino exclaimed, looking into his eyes, "Did someone mug you? If so I'll fucking find them..."

"Ah... no, no it's all good." Y/n told her, scratching the back of his neck, "I probably should have... I need to get back to my apartment..."

"Wait but, you're not okay..."

"I'm good! Don't worry about me Nino." Y/n said, jumping onto his feet and speed walking towards the door, "You two either, Itsuki and Fuutarou, I'll be fine. Bye now..."

Nino stood there in confusion, watching as Y/n walked out of her house. She then turned to Fuutarou, who was also looking a little confused.

"You. What's wrong with him."

Fuutarou sweat dropped due to her lack of manners, he then spoke up, "I have an idea but that's not really something I should be telling you."

"Why!?" Nino shouted out, "I'm worried about him!"

"Nino..." Itsuki said to her sister, staring into her eyes, "If he can't tell you, he can't."

Fuutarou nodded, "If Y/n feels like telling you, then he can tell you. It's none of my business."

Nino rolled her eyes as she walked past them and headed to her bedroom, shutting the door with a slight bang.

Y/n woke up. He had quickly ran back to his apartment after leaving Nino and had fallen asleep in his bed almost instantly. He pulled out his phone and looked at the time.

"I should probably... wha- 8:00AM!?" He shouted out in shock, "I thought it was nighttime!"

He quickly jumped out of bed and rushed around his room, grabbing his uniform and putting it on.

"I can't be late for the start of the midterms..." He muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

Once he had gotten dressed and eaten a small portion of breakfast, he raced out of his door and up the flight of stairs to reach the Quints' room. He knocked on the door.

"Uhh guys?" He called out, "You there?"

Only absolute silence could be heard.

"Guess they've headed to school." Y/n groaned, "They probably would've slowed me down anyways..."
