"please stop worrying, i'm okay." i tilted my head down a little to get away from the long faces in front of me. "no you're not!! tsukishima get back over here!!" nishinoya yelled as he tried to run over to the tall first year but we being held back by daichi. "i already apologized and took her to the nurses office," tsukishima deadpanned from the other side of the gym. "grrr— that's not enough!" nishinoya hollered. "noya calm down." daichi pulled back the fuming libero. "yeah noya! airie's fine, just a bloody nose!" tanaka smacked my back, causing me to double over and wince. jeez his enthusiasm is rough. nishinoya calmed down and daichi released the hold on his collar, "are you sure you're okay?" he gave me a side stare.

i lifted my hand and touched the bandage on my nose, the pain still very present, but i still managed to smile with a nod. "this wouldn't have happened if you were helping her learn like you said though." i saw nishinoya jolt hearing tsukishima's remark. "a-ah tsuki maybe that's not the best time to say that." yamaguchi panicked but tall first year just shrugged and continued to leave the gym. "don't listen to him noya, he just feels bad for making his senpai's nose bleed." sugawara patted nishinoya's shoulder.

the gym started to get emptier and emptier as each volleyball male left. they wanted to say bye to nishinoya and i, but seeing as the libero just stared at the ground unhappily they left us with a silent wave. seeing as everyone was gone and the gym was already cleaned up, i stood up and got ready to leave too. "hmm?" i turned my head to the side when i saw nishinoya grab his arm. "i'm sorry airie.." his eyebrows were knitted together roughly as he kept his gaze down. "noya it's okay, i was sure i was going to get hurt regardless if you stayed by my side or not," i chuckled softly, but my stomach felt a pit recalling him with kiyoko instead of me. "i have to change..um meet me by the girls locker room okay?" i adverted my gaze. not that it mattered though since he wouldn't look at me. before he could say a word to me i left to get my uniform back on.

"stop getting worked up over your feelings!" i whispered to myself pushing open the locker room doors. i slapped my cheeks and turned my head upwards, a gasp left my lips seeing the locker with my things inside wide open. i ran over and saw everything but my clothes, what? my ears heard a familiar noise and my eyes shrunk with fear. as my feet walked over to the showers i came face to face with my uniform. i shut off the water and knelt down, my chin sitting on top of my knees as i stared at the soaked karasuno uniform. i shook my head and wrung them out so they weren't dripping with water, i carefully placed them in my school bag and left the locker room. i bit my lower lip, it has to be those girls. i felt my lip quiver, why were they so mean?

"why didn't you change?" i looked up seeing nishinoya looking at me sideways. my eyes glanced to my school bag, "i uh didn't really want too." i smiled, he gave me a weird look before nodding. i decided against telling him what really happened, seeing he's already upset about me getting hurt i didn't want to make him more worried about those girls did. we stayed in silence as we walked, it was when we got a few steps out of school property when he spoke up, "let me make it up to you airie," nishinoya said firmly, but his words faded and i saw his eyes widened slightly as he looked at me. "what do you mean?" my arms wrapped around my body to stop it from shivering. i heard nishinoya sigh, "come over to my house for dinner!" he smiled as he removed his jacket and swiftly draping it over my shoulders.

"oh noya it's okay-" he raised his hand and smiled, "part one of my making it up to you." he smiled brightly, the orange sky masking his figure in a breathtaking glow. "thank you, but you don't have to make anything up to me." i giggled seeing that his jacket fit just right, a little baggy because the difference in our builds but it felt right. "ah! we have to make a stop before getting to my house!" he shouted as he realized something, quickly grabbing my hand and dragging me down a street. "okay wait here!" he beamed and ran inside the small corner store. i pulled out my phone and shot ichigo a message, letting him know to make whatever easy for kyo and himself and that i'll be having dinner with nishinoya. my text earned a three dot reply, then a simple i'll kill him text afterwards.
