Capture this moment (Haikyuu x m!reader)

"You can turn the saturation up by just a little, but make sure not to-"

"(Y/N)! THERE YOU ARE!"
A voice yelled.

Before you could even react, you were tackled to the ground by a ball of lighting,

"Where the hell have you been these past few weeks?!"

Nishinoya pinned you to the ground, sitting on your lap.

The awkward position caused your face to flush a little bit, but you still managed to answer.
"My club assignment finished a while ago, so I didn't need to show up to your practice anymore. I texted you about this!"

"Liar!"
He shouted, quickly pulling out his phone to check his texts.

Suddenly it looked like all of his confidence evaporated as his posture shrunk.

"Did you find it?"
You asked, hoping he'd get off of your nether regions.

He shook his head
"I... I forgot I got a new number..."

You stared at him with judgmental eyes until he found another way to put the blame on you.

"You could've just told me in person!"
He reasoned.

"I wanted to, I really did! But you seemed so in the zone and even when you were taking a break, there was something going on,"
You defended.

"What about after practice? Or the weekends?"

"Even after practice you usually seemed busy with the team, and I was busy these last few weekends,"
You kept defending yourself until Nishinoya couldn't find a way to blame you.

"I-I..."
He trailed off before coming to a conclusion.

"Does that mean it's my fault then?!"

"I don't think it's anyone's fault. And could you please get off my crotch,"
You stayed bluntly.

His face went red almost immediately as he hopped off of you, helping you up as well.

"I just think that whatever happened was unfortunate, and that we can leave it in the past. I'm free later today, we can go get food after your practice?"

"Deal!"
He said before running off, wanting to forget about how he had just embarrassed himself.

~•~

"You didn't tell me this was a fancy place!"
Noya complained, severely underdressed.

"Oh c'mon, it's not that fancy,"

Immediately as you said that a couple in a luxurious dress and tuxedo walked past you, giving you and your friend a slightly judgmental look.

"Okay maybe it's a little fancy,"

He sighed before asking,
"You didn't invite anyone else, did you?"

"No, I've already arranged to meet up with them later. Let's get to our table now, I made a reservation,"

The volleyball player followed you through the restaurant to a nice round table with a soft white table cloth draped over it, with tall candles giving a nice warm glow.

"Th-this place is way too fancy! Are you sure I can eat here?"
Noya asked.

"It's fine! I worked for the owners before, very nice people. That's also why they're giving us free food today!"

The libero's ears perked up hearing that.

Fancy food, for free?!

You smiled at his reaction, finding it cute.
"Being friends with me has a lot of nice perks, doesn't it?"

"Yeah!"
He answered quickly.

In a split second, he felt like his answer wasn't so nice, so he added,
"But that's not the reason I'm friends with you! You're nice, that's why!"

You laughed,
"Nice save, Noya,"

His posture crumpled at your words, and you reassured him you knew his intentions.

After a bit, a waiter came over to take your orders. Nishinoya was a bit overwhelmed by the menu and all of it's fancy options, but you managed to guide him through it, recommending him things he might enjoy.

You got your food, took pictures of it, and consumed it all.

While you thought of it as nothing more than a nice little hang out with a friend, Nishinoya could only picture that this might be what it'd be like to actually date you. It was all so intimidating, a different kind of pressure than the one he felt in a volleyball tournament.

You just seemed so perfect, like you carefully calculated every movement yet with no effort at all.

Meanwhile you were just hoping your attempts to not like like a monster while eating your food were working.

As quickly as you arrived, you left, walking the Libero home.

"Phew! That food was amazing! I still feel bad about being underdressed though..."
He commented.

"Don't worry, next time I'll help you find a suit to wear before we go,"

He smiled at the thought of that.

Eventually you reached his house, the sun had just set minutes ago.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Nishinoya,"

"I'll see you too, (y/n),"

You unexpectedly hugged him, and pulled away once you realized what you'd done.

"Sorry! I kinda got lost in the moment there, guess I just really missed you, huh?"

"It's fine! Hold on,"
He said before giving you a hug.

"Now we're even!"

You snickered at his actions before leaving for your own home.
