asanoya

tw: depression

Nishinoya didn't know why he felt this way, he didn't know where this feeling came from. he feels like he's a burden to everyone. that he shouldn't be able to speak, as if he's always in the way.

maybe it's because he's a middle child, his older sister and younger brother have their struggles too but it always seemed like noya was always interrupting everyone.

but he thinks he's okay. this isn't a red flag for help. he just sucked it up, learn to deal with it. that's until people close to him started to notice something was off.

suga noticed how his smile didn't always seem genuine, dachi saw how noya would give in less effort, he wouldn't go for the ball as much but he'd hang his head low and apologize, saying he'll get the next one.

then the whole team noticed, when for a couple days, noya didn't even go to practice.

asahi was the most concerned, his best friend didn't even respond to his messages anymore. not even a reaction from the funniest meme? yeah something's definitely off.

but dachi decided that the team should give him some space. maybe he just needed some reflection time. come on now, it's nishinoya! he's as bright as the sun, no way he'd be in a stage of depression.

it was friday night, asahi just finished his homework when he got a text,

noya: can we talk?

asahi eyes widened as he was finally got a response.

asahi: of course, it's kind of late. do you want me to come pick you up?

noya: you don't need to go out of your way to come, i'd understand if you don't want to see me.

asahi: what??? of course i want to see you, i've missed you, i'll be there in ten.

asahi has missed noya quite a lot. him and noya has this kind of relationship where it's more than friends but not like dating or anything. they had sleepovers at asahi's almost every weekend.

it was just cuddling, maybe a kiss on the forehead here and there. nothing to serious. but, asahi wanted more, he wanted to hold noya, hold hands with him, go on dates,... kiss his lips.

but noya doesn't want that, right?

noya: okay

asahi grabbed his sweater and car keys and hurried down the stairs where he was met with his mother who stopped him,

"and where do you think you're going this late at night," he stood there with her hands on her hips. his mother was quite short but she a firm voice.

"oh, um- noya needs me," he scratched the back of his neck.

"he needs you?," she questioned.

"yes he does," asahi answered back, his best friend needed him and he had to go see him.

before it was to late.

his mom smiled, "you're such a good friend Azumane, you can go but call me if you stay over," she raised one eyebrow and grinned.

asahi blushed, "mommm, stop it's not like that," he sighed as he walked out the house.

ten minutes later he arrived at noyas house, he texted that he was outside because he didn't want to knock at the door at this hour.

a minute later he saw a head peak out the door, he saw a tired nishinoya, with eye backs and his hair flat, in baggy sweatpants and an oversized sweater.
