Attraction

60

After many sets, Hinata asked for another one.

Kenma fell to the ground, exhausted.

The coaches told Hinata no more, but the boy still wanted to play another set with the rival team. He frowned, looking at you.

"What do you say, Y/n?"

You deadpanned. "I say you killed my setter. And it's getting late. We all need to head back to Tokyo. No more for today."

Hinata frowns, watching as you walk over to the collapsed setter. He remains silent, focused on you.

You help Kenma stand up. "Come on, Kenma. We can rest yet. We still have to clean up and head to the train station. You can get some sleep on the train."

The pudding head leaned on you. "Please, no more. I think I'm dying."

You sigh, holding him tighter. "I've got you. You're not gonna die. Let's help clean up, ok?"

Kenma groans, trying to lean on you even more. "Carry me."

"I'm not carrying you. Hey, are you feeling alright, Ken?" You feel his forehead.

He nods. "Just exhausted."

You frown. "You need to be careful. What if you get sick?"

He wraps an arm around you. "It'll be fine. I have you to take care of me."

You sigh. "Sit down for a bit. I'll help them clean up while you catch your breath or something."

He sits on one of the benches. "I'll help in a bit."

You smile at him. "I trust you'll help me with the net."

Kenma smiles at you. "I will."

"Good, now get some energy back."

He grabs your hand briefly. "I will, just don't overwork yourself."

You quickly kiss his cheek. "I won't."

You walk away from the boy, his eyes still lingering on you. He catches his breath a bit, finally regaining enough energy to help. When he's ready to help you with the net, he starts walking over to you.

He frowns, seeing Hinata trying to help you.

Hinata smiles. "Need help with the net, Y/n?"

You shake your head. "Kenma was going to help me once he has enough energy."

"Well, if you need help right now, I can help."

Kenma stands beside you. "Let me give you a hand with that, Y/n."

You look over at your boyfriend, smiling. "Thanks, Ken. Go ahead and grab the other side to help me fold it up."

Kenma nods, doing as you say.

Hinata frowns, back walks away to help elsewhere. He would occasionally steal glances at you, noticing that Kenma would be close to you. The ginger felt disappointed to not be able to get closer to you, but knew there was nothing he could do.

Kenma got closer, touching you. "Shoyo does that often, doesn't he?"

"Does what?"

The pudding head frowns. "Gets close to you, trying to talk with you often. Stuff like that."

You nod. "He's been doing it more since he accidentally confessed to me. I always turn him down, though."

"He should stop it. I don't like him trying to do all that in front of me."

You smile at the boy. "You're getting jealous, Ken."

The quiet setter pouts. "You're my girlfriend, though. It makes sense for me to get a little jealous when other guys get too close."

"You got jealous when I was hugging a female friend, though."

Kenma looks away from you. "I wanted a hug, too."

You laugh. "You're ridiculous."

He makes eye contact with you. "I think I'm being perfectly reasonable."

You give him a warm smile. "Your eyes are beautiful, Ken."

"I think yours are prettier."

You two lean closer together, as if you were about to kiss.

"Kenma! Y/n! We still need to finish up here. Hurry up with the net and move on to the next tasks!" Kuroo called out to the two of you, snapping you out of your trance.

You two quickly look away from each other, moving apart. The two of you finish up the net, Kenma putting it away. Getting separate tasks, you two continue helping to clean up so everyone could go home.

Hinata walked over to you before you could reach the other manager to help. "Y/n, do you need help with anything?"

You look at him, shaking your head. "I was going to give Kiyoko a hand. I won't need help. Why don't you help out Sugawara or someone else?"

He sighs, turning away. "Ok."

Pretty soon, the area is completely cleaned up. The teams say their farewells to each other, and Nekoma begins their journey home.

Kenma walks to the station at your side. "He did it again the moment you and I walked away from each other."

"Stop pouting, Ken. We're cuddling when we get on the train, remember? Be in a good mood and just enjoy the time we have together."

"Fine. I'm still allowed to go to your house, right?"

You nod, smiling at the setter. "Of course. Wanna spend the night?"

"I'd love to."
