FLASHBACK to (5 years ago)
"Ms (L/n)? There's a Yuu Nishinoya here to see you" A nurse called from the doorway to your hospital room.
"She knows who I am" He grumbled as he walked inside, dressed in casual clothes with a bouquet of flowers in one of his hands, pointed at the floor. "Hi love..."
"L-love?" You're face turned completely red in fright at the word, such a nice word had, to your knowledge, never graced Nishinoya's lips.
"DOVE I mean DOVE! Stupid-chan!" He dumped the bouquet onto your polished bedside table and slumped down into the chair pulled up next to your hospital bed. As hot-headed as ever.
"Yuu, its not often that you come and visit me.." Your eyes were still a little heavy from the medication. But, you could tell the firey, amber eyes of this libero were watching every flutter of your eyelashes.
"I came to see how you were recovering, as I thought you're crap at that too" He sulked, pouting his lip. "I was going to check you out of the hospital for the day. I won two movie tickets in my cereal box and everyone else is busy" he rushed out, so quickly you almost didn't catch what he was saying.
"In your cereal? That seems unlikely" you chuckled, reaching out to brush your fingertips against one of the wilting roses in his bouquet. Your arm was partially restricted however, as, like a needle and thread tugging the arm of a stitching doll, you had a drip tube in your arm that didn't stretch that far. The sight of you rigged up in such a cruel manner made the boy cringe.
"Do you not want to go?" The boy scrubbed the bottom of his nose, bringing himself only to look at you in moments. You pushed against the mattress of the bed to sit up better, fixing your posture. The duvet over the lower half of your body moved as you stretched the toes of your right foot.
"No" You quickly replied, realising you'd been quiet for a while now. You cheerfully smiled at him, moving the sweaty strands hair out of your eyes, "I'll go with you".
"Woah! Nice receive Nishinoya!" Daichi called as you scrubbed your eyes in morbid shock at the pin-point accuracy in which he'd received one of Tanaka's aggressive spikes.
"BWAH!?" Tanaka through his hands into the air in anger, "You've got to be kidding!" Tears started to pour down his face like a fountain, "and I made such an awesome pun!!"
Nishinoya laughed, it was the first time he'd done that in front of you in quite some time. As you crouched down to tie your shoe laces, you missed the last few seconds of the game, but you weren't surprised that the Municipal team won. Just as you began moving down the stairs to congratulate everyone on their game, your phone buzzed in your pocket.
Kenma Kozume: Hi. We just arrived at the training camp. Our practice game against Nekoma is in 4 days so you should be up here soon, right? Oh, Kuroo asked me to tell you he's finally fully recovered his shoulder so he wants to try some blocking against you. Um.. I'll be your setter, if you'd like.
You giggled as you read the message, it wasn't unusual for Kenma to send you long messages, it was quite expensive to constantly be texting between prefectures, but this message was simply adorable in how much it sounded like Kenma. Perhaps he was doing that habit of his where he says out loud what he's writing, and accidentally put those 'um's in there.
(Y/n) (L/n): Hi Kenma! I'm so happy to hear Kuroo is doing better, tbh I was getting a little tired of his complain-calling to me at 11pm telling me he couldn't sleep. My knee's doing much better this last week so absolutely I'd love to spike against his block. But I'd love it even more if you'd set for me Kenma!
Karasuno should be driving up tomorrow, I just got bumped up to unlimited calls so I'll ring you on the bus ride xx
