We Need Our Ace (Asahi x Nishinoya)

Chapter One

DISCLAIMER! ~ By the way, I don't own Haikyuu!!. This is the only time I'm saying it.

Also, they are going straight from a match to camp. If you don't like that, then don't read it. It just makes more sense. This takes place in the middle of season one, during episodes 9 or 10. (Hehe, 9 and 10. Kagehina.) I mean, ahem. Yeah.

Noya's POV

"Please!" I cry, grabbing onto Asahi's shirt.

"L-Let go of m-me!"

I obey, looking down, tears rolling down my face. Sugawara pulls me back, as Asahi looks down at me.

His eyes are shining with tears, and I have to look away.

He looks broken.

It's all my fault.

He leaves the gym, causing me to slump down to my knees. I wipe my eyes over and over again, trying to stop my crying, but the tears just keep coming.

"Noya, let's go."

I gulp, nodding and standing up. We leave the locker room, and I hear another team's middle blocker yell, "Look! Shorty's crying 'cause he lost!"

Daichi-San runs over to him, explains the situation, and the player apologizes. I flip him off and make my way to the bus.

Half of the team was already on it when Asahi quit, so they are probably expecting me to come on joking with him. Instead I'm crying like a middle schooler. All of them ask me if I'm alright, and I immediately tell them yes, not wanting to talk.

Ryū I go to the back of the bus, where I fall asleep in his lap, dreaming of Asahi.

When I wake up, it's dark, and most of the others are asleep. All except Ryū. He sees that I'm awake, and tells me to go back to sleep. He's drawing in his sketchbook, and I want to watch. I shake my head and sit up. Tanaka laughs lightly, and allows me to watch him. He's an amazing artist. We talk quietly for the remainder of the ride, and when we finally get there, Hinata wakes everyone up with his yelling.

"We're here! WooHoo!"

Kageyama groans and hits the ginger over the head. Hinata whimpers, and Daichi-San tells him to keep his hands to himself. I remember how it was at the beginning of the season. Kageyama hated Hinata, but now they're good friends. Kageyama does get a bit violent sometimes, and it's clear he scares Hinata, but they still love each other.

"This is Hinata's first time at camp. Let the kid have some fun!" Tanaka says, making everyone except Kageyama and Tsukishima laugh.

The setter grunts, rolling his eyes.

Everyone gets off the bus, and we go into the place where we will be staying.

I'm the last off, and I keep my head down, not wanting anyone to speak to me. No one does, but I can feel their eyes, burning into my head as I walk.

"What are you doing, Narita? Trying to burn a hole through Noya with your eyes?"

"I-I-I-I'm sorry, Daichi-San!"

"Don't do it again."

"Yes, Daichi-San!"

We walk inside, and go straight to our rooms. Everyone's exhausted, especially me. I lie down and drift off to sleep, trying hard not to think about Asahi.
