Now I Can See You // Nishinoya X Reader

#11 - It hurts.

"Hey, [Name]-chan! Why are you screaming so loud when we have visits?! How rude of you" Nishinoya mocked me "You should try and be as silent as Tsukki in these occasions, you know!"

"Who gave you the permission to call me like that?" Tsukishima abruptly replied. His voice was icy and as sharp as a knife. I didn't even notice he was so close until I heard the words he'd spoken.

Then I turned around to face him, the salty blondie. I remembered Ryu calling him "salty blonde french fries" tried my best to hold back from laughing at him. He eventually noticed me staring at him and that was when his eyes met mine. I could swear his glasses were glinting and the corners of his mouth were engraved with a sarcastic smile that made me get goosebumps. I turned my eyes away as fast as I could, but I couldn't help but feel his ones staring at my back and piercing it.

Anyway, Noya paid no attention to his harsh replyand said: "Look, Ryu! Look at what our Kiyoko-san brought to us! Now we have TWO girl managers!".

His voice chirping the words "OUR Kiyoko-san" disappointed me... So he really had a crush on her! This sudden thought made my heart jump in my chest and I didn't even look at the small blonde girl, who was repeatedly stammering and blushing. Her attitude actually resembled my inner state and this made me uneasy.

"YEEEEAH now Yamamoto from Nekoma will cry out louder than ever because of his hormons!" Ryu replied and the two second-years started making a strange dance which, added to Hinata still jumping and Kageyama still running after him made Karasuno Volleyball Club similar to a chicken farm when a fox is inside.

"Please guys, stop it!" I said, but no one would listen to me.

"Ano... " Kiyoko said. Suddenly, all the males in the gym were still and silent as statues.

Well, this is the difference between her and me, I suppose.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Kiyoko started introducing the new girl, who was supposed to be the second manager. She was nearly as tall as Hinata and she looked nice.

"Whoaaa she's a cutie!" Hinata said, making her blush again for the hundredth time.

Now you'd probably think I'm mean, but I couldn't help but feel discouraged again. Now, not only had the club one girl who was more beautiful than me, but TWO. I was convinced that there was no way Nishinoya would notice me, now.

I felt uneasy again and I didn't want to show anybody, so I silently left the gym with nobody noticing. I just sat there outside, leaning to one of the walls of the hallway that led back to the main building.

Some time later, I heard some footsteps. It wasn't the noise of many people approaching, though. I realised it just was a single pair of large feet that were linked to really long legs and a tall, well built body. I stared at his indifferent face for a while, then he spoke.

"I was sent to look for you" he inespressively said.

I wondered whether it was really someone else who noticed my absence, for example Kiyoko, Daichi, Ryu... or maybe Nishinoya. Or he, Tsukishima Kei, had noticed I no longer was there.

Anyway, I didn't ask him about it. I actually didn't know what to tell him, to be honest. His eyes were staring again, as to analise me.

"Well... What are you doing here?" he went on.

"Huh? I... I came here to smoke a cig" I lied. Was I trying to look interesting? And if so, why on earth was I trying it with him? Maybe, I said that just because I didn't want him to pity me.

"You don't actually smell like that" he said slowly.

Before I could even notice it, he had sat beside me and looked like he was smelling my hair. I felt my body cringe and my throat suddenly went dry.

"I wasn't really interested in the new manager, you know" I said, eventually.

"Neither did I" he simply replied "I'd rather be interested in an average girl like you rather than in TWO pretty girls".

His words hurt me. Did he want to hurt me?

I stared at him trying to keep me cool but I suddenly felt the urge to stand up and go away but I couldn't. He was standing up and holding the both of my wrists.

"What the hell do you want from me?!" I hissed.

"Oh, did I hurt you? Good" he calmly said, perfectly managing to keep my wrists even though I was trying to break free.
