We Need Our Ace (Asahi x Nishinoya)

Chapter Six

(A girl in one of my classes literally has one brain cell I'm going to scream. A bunch of her friends are all yelling at each other and laughing while they do it and they need to stfu.)

(Also, when I call Noya, "sick," I'm talking about how he hasn't eated/slept in days)

I awake to a feeling of warmth, and curl into it. I remember everything that happened, and wrap myself around Asahi. He doesn't wake up when I do this, and I doubt he will soon, considering he was up all last night caring for me. I just lay against him, taking in his scent. He smells distinct. I don't know how to describe it, but he just smells different. It's very calming.

It's silent, and all I can hear is the soft breath coming from the third year. I run my fingers through his hair, and he lets out a sigh. I look over to his bed stand, and see his alarm clock. It's already 11:15. I guess that's what happens when you don't sleep for days. I stand, stretching. My joints pop loudly, and I look over at Asahi to make sure he didn't wake up. I smile, looking at him. He's absolutely gorgeous. I sigh, smiling, and make my way downstairs.

Everything in his kitchen is so high up, and I groan loudly, climbing onto his counter. I'm still very weak, and feel like total shit. I really hope I don't fall. I stand, opening the cabinet, and grabbing a k-cup.

I may be sick, but I still need coffee.

I grab a mug while I'm up here, before hopping down, and starting to make the coffee.

"Noya?"

I look up and see Asahi walking down the stairs. He looks tired, but not exhausted.

"Morning."

"Morning? It's almost noon." I giggle, running over to him.

He wraps his arms around me, and I smile, burying my head in his chest.

"How are you feeling?" He asks, and I look up at him.

"A lot better. I'm really sorry for freaking you out."

"Don't be! I'm the one who was being paranoid."

I shake my head, pushing away and walking over to the Keurig.

"Do-Do you have cream?"

He laughs, nodding and pointing at his fridge. I internally face palm. Of course that's where it would be.

I pour the caramel flavoured cream into the coffee, and sit at the table, beckoning him over. He walks up to be, and bends down, kissing me on the cheek.

I blush, turning to him, and catching his lips with mine. He pulls me out of the chair, and lifts me into his arms, deepening the kiss.

If he doesn't stop this, I'm gonna get a-

Too late.

I hear him giggle against my lips, and I start to squirm, pulling my head back so he can't reach me.

"P-Put me d-down."

He laughs and does, looking down at my little problem.

"H-Hey! I-It's not my f-fault!"

"Of course it's not."

He winks and walks out of the room. I sit back down, burying my head in my hands.

What the fuck, Asahi?

"Noya! Come here!"

I sigh and walk into the living room, where Asahi is.

"What?"

"I need to ask you something."

He looks a bit nervous, and it's making me nervous.

"Wh-What is it?"

"S-So, about everything between us. What are we?"

"I-I was hoping you'd want to be my boyfriend."

He immediately relaxes, and I smile.

"I was afraid you wouldn't want to be in a relationship."

I shake my head, "I've been hoping to get with you for years."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I started liking you when we first met!"

"So we could have been dating this whole time?"

"We really are stupid aren't we?"

I nod, chuckling, "Yeah. Yeah, we are"

I walk over to him, sitting on his lap, and laying against his chest.

"You tired?"

I nod, yawning.

He lifts me into his arms, and carries me upstairs and back into his bed.

"B-But we just w-woke up."

"Noya. You're sick. You need rest. When was the last time you slept?"

"Last night."

"Noya! Before that!"

"I passed out in school yesterday."

"Nishinoya!"

"Fine! Four or five days ago!"

He sighs, climbing into bed with me, and holding me close, "You need to sleep, Noya. I don't want you to get sicker."

I nod feebly, muttering something against his chest.

"What was that?"

"I love you..."

I love you so much, Noya. Don't ever forget it."

I close my eyes, thinking about how much I love Asahi.
