Ah Yeah!! - Haikyu!! One-Shots

Surprise, Surprise - Asanoya

"Alright, team. Great job at practice today. If you keep up that good work when we play Nekoma next week, we'll win for sure!" Like always, third-year student Nishinoya, the new captain of the Karasuno volleyball club, gave his pep speech to his team. The tiny ex-libero was clearly cut out for the job since day 1, taking the position after Sawamura-san's graduation last year.

The team ace, his best friend Tanaka, jumped behind him and joined in the pep talks. "Yeah, great job if I say so myself! Let's kick some Nekoma tail next week!" He raised his fist in the air and the team hoorah'd before Noya let them go for the night. The gym was all cleaned and everyone was in good shape for the long-awaited rematch with their school rivals.

Once everyone left, except for Tanaka, Coach Ukai, and Takeda-sensei, Noya ran to the locker room and threw the rest of his stuff in his bag. He couldn't wait to get home and hop on Skype to talk to his college first-year boyfriend, Asahi. Like Daichi and Suga-san, Asahi graduated last year and left the leadership of the team in the second-year crew's hands. Granted, they were doing an excellent job; Karasuno made it to the Inter-High semi-finals and were the favorites to advance to Nationals. Asahi was always reminding his small boyfriend of how proud he was of him being the captain of Miyagi's emerging power house team.

"Oi, Noya! Wait up!" Tanaka called out before Noya walked out the door. "On the way to talk to your lover boy?"

Noya smiled and nodded. "Dude, I'm so ready to see him next week, you have no idea!" After graduation, Asahi started going to school in Tokyo, where they were going to play Nekoma in barely seven days. Of course, after not seeing his boyfriend in person for almost four months, they were planning on spending as much free time together as possible. "Although..."

"Hm?" Tanaka bit into one protein bar and offered Noya his other one, which he accepted.

"He's been acting really weird for the last three months now. We Skype every night, and ever since then he's been hiding something from me. Not like a 'he's cheating on me' kinda secret, but a 'dude, it's almost 90 degrees outside, why are you still wearing a sweatshirt' secret."

"What are you thinking?"

Noya shrugged. "I don't know. I hope he's okay and he's not trying to hide any bruises or cuts from me, but he said that when he sees it I might like it." He knew that Asahi was always busy, and that's why he hadn't been home in so long. During the summer, he hosted several volleyball summer camps for elementary school kids, and when he's not doing that or classes he's working at a cafe.

"Well, he's not cheating on you, we all know that! And if he is always hurt, he would probably hide it so you wouldn't freak out or anything. He wouldn't hurt himself on purpose, and if he thinks you'll like it then it can't be that bad, right?"

Noya smiled and nodded again. His best friend, closer to him than a brother, always knows what to say. "Right." The pair kept walking and talking until they hit Noya's road and went their separate ways for the night. Noya rushed inside, grabbed a quick dinner, and rushed upstairs to get on his laptop.

"Hey there, little captain!" Asahi greeted with a smile when he picked up his call.

"Hey, handsome." Noya blushed. "How was your day?"

Asahi rolled his eyes. "Let me tell you about this one guy that came in the shop today. Right after I started my shift too!" Noya sat in awe and listened to Asahi's stories from his classes and job. It always seems like he never has a dull day with all the stories he has to tell. Asahi finished talking about his day and reversed the question on Noya.

Two hours into the call, and Noya was finally done with his online homework. "Oh, Asahi, still not giving me any hints yet?"

Asahi shook his head. "So persistent. Been hanging out with Takeda-senpai too much again?"
