"Noya....." he spoke in a deep, relaxing tone, soothing to any and all who hear it. His eyes were looking deeply into the others, their faces like magnets slowing gravitating toward each other in a painfully slow pace, "Asahi-san...BEEP" huh? BEEP. Wh-?
BEEP.  BEEP.  BEEP.
Asahi shot up in bed looking around his surroundings. FUCK. It was only a dream. He turned off the increasingly annoying alarm and groaned loudly, falling back onto his bed with a loud thumping noise, today was Thursday, which meant school. Asahi wasn't bad in his classes, he was actually a really good student, always taking notes and doing his homework. That doesn't mean he liked school however.
The only think he found enjoyable was volleyball practice and seeing his friends. Especially a certain friend.
That friend was Nishinoya Yuu, a second year libero with amazing energy and confidence.
And it just so happened that Asahi had a little crush on this libero.
Well, when he says crush he means that he has fallen completely, madly, helplessly in love with the boy.
But he had only gotten as far as being called his "best bearded friend" or "bearded bro" which, in terms of romance is not all that far. but he decided it was better to deal with his feelings than risk confessing his love, being rejected, losing hope to ever fall in love again, lose motivation to carry on and, did I mention that Asahi over thinks things? like, A LOT. really the only thing keeping him from confessing WAS that he overthinks things.

Asahi shielded his eyes from the blinding sun after walking out into the street for his short walk to school, he was thankful that unlike Hinata he lived fairly close to Karasuno high. his steps were slow and clumsy, still drowsy from lack of sleep. he let his mind wonder to the dream he had that night, How much further would things have gone if he hadn't woken up?

His cheeks felt like they were engulfed in the burning flames of hell for the sinful things he was thinking of.He slapped his hands on his cheeks to get his mind out of the perverted place it was in, with hand still on his cheeks he stopped when a voice sounded beside him. "Asahi? what're you doing?" "oh, hi, Noya..umm.." Noya let out a little giggle, causing Asahis poor little heart to throb.

They had only walked a little ways, not saying much simply enjoying the others company, before Nishinoya started talking. "ive got another thing I need you to promise me.."

its been a month since the first promise was made, and since that night Nishinoya asked Asahi to promise him something else once or twice each week. it never really bugged Asahi, it just confused him a little bit. he tried confronting Noya about it one time, and all he had to say was that he had his own reasons.

"I need you to promise that you would take care of me if I was in the hospital."

that was the other thing, the promises started getting more and more specific, like Nishinoya was preparing for something to happen. But Asahi never paid much attention to it, Noya was always weird anyways.

"okay, I promise"

"do you pinky p-"

Noya's sentence was stopped short when Asahi's finger was already wrapped around his own, he stared at the two interlocked fingers for a second and then gave a big close eyed smile. Asahi almost melted seeing this, he almost did every time. that one of the reasons he doesn't mind the promises, because each time he agrees to Noya's conditions, he gets the same heart Bursting, world stopping, head spinning smile.

the rest of the day continued as normal, boring classes, average lunch, and tiring volleyball practice.

after everyone had changed and he was following his normal routine of walking home with Noya, something different happened.

he was asked another promise. that had never happened before, it wasn't that big a deal, but to him it was. in the whole time the weekly promises had happened he never got two in a day, barely in the span of two days.

this time he was asked if he would "promise to always smile at me if anything bad ever happens to me, because I wouldn't want to be the reason for your sadness."

Asahi stood there. for what felt like forever letting the simple promise take control of his mind. and so, he did what he does best, he started overthinking things. what if Noya was preparing him for something? what if something was going to happen to his precious libero that he didn't know about? should he ask him? he kept letting these questions poison his mind until a voice snapped his out of his thoughts.

"Asahi? do you promise?"

"huh? oh, yeah I promise" their fingers interlocked once again, the feeling was just as amazing as it had always been. Asahi continued home, the scary thoughts were pushed out of his mind as he convinced himself he was just overthinking silly promises.


But what he didn't know, was that they weren't just silly, meaningless promises.

they were so, so much more than that.
