thank the rain

her day was normal. her lunch was normal, her classes were normal, her friends were normal, her academic ability was normal. just one thing disrupted the normality; nishinoya yuu, her long time crush and best friend since elementary school. the two of them had always stuck together, going to same schools and so on. though in high school, the two of them had been separated due to the difference in academic ability ― she was placed in class 1-5, while he was in class 1-3. same in their second year, she was in 2-5 and he was in class 2-3.

"hey, [name]!" there it was, his cheerful voice calling out for her. turning around with a small smile, she was met with a boy ― just a centimeter taller than her ― with a bigger smile on his face. "i was looking for you!"

"sorry, sorry," it was true; since they were both smaller than average (and they were in high school, too!), it was quite hard to find each other in a crowd if they ever got separated. "for what though, yuu?"

"i'm thinking of watching a movie today. wanna tag along?" he asked, his hands on his hips and a confident expression plastered onto his face. she couldn't help but giggle at his small yet energetic form, and nodded yes.

"of course, yuu-chan~" that was a nickname that she rarely used. she had always called him that during their childhood years (and middle school years). nishinoya actually didn't mind it, it was rather [name] who had been flustered whenever she used it ("it's childish, yuu!"). but this time, a flash of pink crossed the male's face, though it was gone as soon as it came. "when is it?"

"ah, i'll pick you up at your house. there's no practice today, so at around 5:45 maybe?" he shrugged. "after 5:30 and before 6:00." [name] nodded, a small smile remaining on her face. it was rare that there was no practice for volleyball, especially with the spring tournament coming up. though, the rest of the volleyball would probably practice outside somewhere, somehow. it was actually really sweet of nishinoya to ditch the everyday practice for [name].

"alright, then! i'll see you later, yuu!" she said, running off to her class before the bell rang. nishinoya stared at her retreating form, a slight smile remaining on his face. he would be waiting for tonight to come.

he knocked on her door, and her mother answered. "good afternoon, [mother's name]-kun!" he said, his energy never receding. "is [name] here?" as soon as he mentioned her name, footsteps were heard from the second floor.

"yuu!" a voice called out, and he involuntarily smiled. "i'm sorry, i was going to wait outside―"

"it's fine, [name]! anyways, let's go?" nishinoya held his air of confidence, but there was a little tiny nervousness in his voice. of course, she caught it ― she had been friends with the libero for a long time, after all. she took the cause of this nervousness for him being overly anxious for the movie. but as much as that was true ― he was impatient and wanted to see the movie right then ― there was another reason. this was the first movie they would watch alone.

just like a date.

he shook his head, [name] watching curiously. nishinoya always had a lot of thoughts in his mind (even though he was more of the loud type, he thought a lot). she didn't ask for what he was thinking, for it could be anything from volleyball to something he ate for lunch. "let's go, yuu!"

he led the way, and she jogged to catch up to the boy. "wait, what are we watching?"
