Denial pt.2

*Nishinoya's Pov*

Hugging Asahi just felt like a warm blanket wrapping around you and holding you close, it just felt...right. I could hear him sobbing into my shoulder and letting all the emotions he felt out. I can't believe it, he had all this pressure and all this anxiety and he didn't tell anyone. Why? He just kept it inside until it exploded...?I felt bad for not asking, wow I am a terrible friend... I thought to myself.

"I'm sorry you had to see this." he said with a small chuckle as he tried to turn away but I put my hand on his cheek and made him face me.

"Thank you. And don't be afraid to talk to me ever." a small blush settled into both Asahi and my cheeks.

"And if ever you need help at home or you want company just ask ok." he smiled and nodded gratefully. We heard determined yelling from a distance and a second later Hinata and Kageyama came bursting in breathless.

"I win Bakayama!" Hinata exclaimed whilst mocking Kageyama.

"Oh shut up dumbass!" He said irritated . Asahi wiped his face and with his shirt. He stepped out of the closet pulling the volleyball basket out and putting on a fake smile to greet the others like nothing happened. That smile looked so real but I knew it wasn't. I wondered how many times I was tricked by that fake smile how long has he been holding these feeling in. How long has he been hurting... I don't know I just know that I need to help him the best I can.

—time Skip to after school —————————

We were walking home after school likes any other day and I start to scratch my right arm. I remembered that my mom was on a business trip so I was staying alone... but I hated being alone. I kept on scratching and scratching and scratching until Asahi grabbed my arm away.

"Stop that!" He was looking at me with a worried and desperate expression. I averted away from his eyes and saw my forearm was immersed in a red pigment.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He said in a soft voice

"Nothi-" he cut me off

"It's not nothing, you are scratching like crazy what are you stressing over?" I looked back up at him. Scratching my arm was something I did when I was under stress or pressure, but... it had never been this bad.

"I... I'm scared to be alone. My mom is on a business trip with my dad so I'm home alone and I hate it." I admitted a bit embarrassed

"That's nothing to be stressed about. You know what, why don't you stay at my house until your mom gets back, how does that sound?" He asked with a smile spread across his lips, I blushed a bit.

"Are you sure..."

"Don't worry about it I would like some company at home too." he said.

"Sounds like a plan!" I said excitedly. It's been a while since I stayed over at Asahi's place but I'm sure it would be wonderful! We stopped by my house to get clothes then walked to Asahi's house I was exited to be there but I tried to be as quiet as possible because his mom was sleeping.

"Thank you again Asahi... you didn't have to" I whispered

"Don't mention it." He replied as we tip toed upstairs to his room
