Aone Takanobu || Embarrassing

requested by Kurohyozu -- I hope you enjoy it! I actually can't believe I haven't written for anyone from Datekou yet -- this is the start of it all ^.^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 When (f/n) started dating Aone she didn't expect him to get so damn flustered at everything she did - it made her feel terrible when she'd compliment him and his face would light up, or when she would go to his games and cheer for him and he'd fumble a bit in his movements. She understood that it was something he'd have to get used to, but it still made her feel bad that he became so uncomfortable when it came to praise and compliments.

So, (f/n) had tried spacing out the compliments and she'd learned to keep her voice a little low at games - even at practices she'd learned to keep her excitement at bay - and she didn't try to hold his hand or hug him unless there were very few people around.

She understood that it was just weird for him to go from having people terrified of him to having a girl that wanted to hold his hand and compliment and be with him all the time. He was getting used to it slowly, but it was still a weird ass situation to him.

(f/n) showing up to the end of their practices after her own club activities was normal now, and it happened most days, so when she came walking in with a large smile on her face, everyone greeted her.

"(f/n)!" Futakuchi shouted, running over to her excitedly. They were taking a short break, so he shouldn't have been yelled at for stopping his water drinking, but Kamasaki was always looking for a reason to yell at the second year, and he took the chance that was given to him.

"Hey, get back to practice, don't be distracted!"

(f/n) ignored their stupid argument and walked towards where Moniwa and Aone were talking with Koganegawa, trying to decide how to use his height better than they were. When they saw (f/n) walking in Moniwa smiled at her, and Aone let the corner of his lips go up slightly, and color was already starting to spread on his cheeks.

"You getting any better, Koganegawa?" she asked, looking up to him with a wide smile. He nodded and began enthusiastically telling the girl about the progress he'd made since she was last at one of their practices. He made sure to praise the new libero he'd be working with, Sakunami, and (f/n) smiled wide at the unlikely friendship between the duo.

"Sakunami and I are going to be the best captain and vice captain when we reach our third years!" he shouted, the smile not leaving his face.

Well, it was wide on his face until Futakuchi came over and shut it down. "Who the hell said I'd make someone like you captain?"

Koganegawa deflated, and Moniwa ushered off the two childish high schoolers, leaving the couple alone. (f/n) turned so she was facing Aone and smiled wide at him. "I made some cookies for you and the others," she said, holding out the box  in her hands. "They're your favorite though, so I brought a small bag we could put a few in it for just you."

Aone brought his hand out and pat his girlfriends head, the blush now dominating his face. He opened his mouth as if he was going to speak, but was interrupted before he could.

"Aone, back to practice now," Futakuchi said, waving his friend over from the court. Aone bowed his head to his girlfriend and then walked onto the court, the blush slowly subsiding from his cheeks.

*****

(f/n) watched the last half an hour of their practice from a bench beside Nametsu and the boys' coach. Aone was doing fantastic as usual, even with Koganegawa's amateur sets and his still rather weak blocks.

It was when Aone managed to single-handedly completely shut down Kamasaki that (f/n) could no longer contain her excitement.

"Good job, Aone!" she shouted, hands around her mouth to make her voice louder. "Show Kamasaki-San who's boss!"

Aone's face lit up, and Futakuchi was laughing his ass off immediately, making fun of his friend through his laughs. (f/n) relaxed back onto the bench, her face it's own shade of red at the attention her praise had attracted. Nametsu smiled widely at her, glad that the girl was able to get such reactions from usually stoic Aone.

*****

Practice was over shortly after that and after she gave the team their cookies (f/n) waited outside of the locker room for Aone to finish changing so they could go home together. He left the locker room before everyone else, his face still an unusual shade of pink from the comments his teammates continued making.

(f/n) handed him his own cookies and then they were off to the bus station. (f/n) talked during their walk while Aone ate the cookies she had made for him, his face as neutral as always.

"I'm sorry," (f/n) said while they were waiting for the bus. Aone raised a nonexistent eyebrow at her, wondering why she was apologizing. "I don't mean to always embarrass you, I'm just really proud of you when you do good, and I'm not used to people getting so flustered when I-"

"It's okay," Aone said, deep voice interrupting her embarrassed rant. "I like the compliments I just don't know how to handle them properly yet."

(f/n) smiled wide at him. "So, I can compliment you?" Aone nodded. "And cheer you on at practices?" Aone nodded again, the small smile growing on his face.

"And at games, if you want," he added. They had already sat down on the bus together, (f/n) pressed close to his side, and her smile grew much wider when he said this.

"Okay," she said, looking up to Aone with wide eyes. "Yeah, I'll be sure to do that then, now that I know it won't embarrass you too bad." Aone's smile grew a bit, now more visible. "You better prepare yourself, Aone, because I'm gonna cheer my heart out for you."
