After the whole reunion of you and Nishinoya, his grandfather told him to take a shower since he would have a cold if he didn't get a warm shower.
"I'm sorry about Yuu, Y/N-chan." His grandfather apologized with a chuckle as he draws the teacup to his lips.
"It's alright, Nishinoya-san. I had worried him too much." You smiled sheepishly at him. "Yeah, looks like you have." His grandfather agreed with a subtle smile. You looked at him with a questioning look at what he meant.
"You see, whenever his team loses a match he would just be upset about it, blame himself for not being a good libero, then brush it off to cheer himself up then train more." He chuckles. "But when they lost recently, he wasn't upset that they lost. He was encouraged to train and 'protect someone', or so he says."
He then looks at you with a knowing smile as he finished his words and take another sip of his tea. Before you could speak, he added, "You should head up to his room. It's the room on the left."
You thanked him and gave him a smile before making your way to his room. You followed his instructions and entered his room. While waiting for Nishinoya in his room, you settled your attention on reading a manga you got from his bookshelf.
Minutes passed and you heard the door open and close. You looked up from the manga you were reading and saw him standing there topless with a towel around his shoulder and his hair down. Nishinoya stared back at you with surprise written on his face while you were just looking at him normally.
Shades of red rose on his cheeks in realization you were inside his room while he was topless while you only looking at him with pure confusion written over you face as you tilted your head slightly on the side. He rummaged through his wardrobe and immediately put on a shirt.
You saw him sneak a glance at you before turning to you completely. "I-I'm sorry for suddenly entering without a shirt on... Gramps didn't say you were here, I didn't know."
You quirk your brows in confusion as you answered, "It's quite alright, though. I'm used to seeing men shirtless. But I must say, you look cute with your hair down like that." You didn't know where you got the courage to tell that to him but you just did, you also noticed he became more flustered.
But he didn't answer so you made your way in front of him and raised the towel over his head as you ruffled his hair with the towel, "You should dry your hair more. It's dripping."
The both of you stood there in silence while you dried his hair. Nishinoya stared at you the whole time, not saying a word. Until you wrapped your arms around him.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Yuu-kun." You whispered. "I saw everything you guys have done for me these past few months."
"How?" He replied as you felt his arms slowly wrapping around you tightly but gently. "I always had Akarin help me record everything every time I get confined." You answer. "The nurse?" He asked and you nodded in reply. You felt him relax as he comfortably rest his head on the crook of your neck.
"How were you able to sneak away again?" He asked. You chuckled, remembering how you did. "Well, I woke up and Toru told me that you were on a training camp. After all the check-ups and all. I was told that I needed therapy since my bones are all stiff. I did my best and had Yosuke-sensei and Akarin help me sneak out." You answered remembering how your other doctor, Yosuke, was all hesitant while Akari was used to your sneaky attitude.
"Are you sure you won't be the cause of them being jobless?" He asked with a laugh. You laughed back sheepishly and replied, "I, uh, well, they still helped me out!"

"I was laughing the whole time when I watched the time mom told you that Toru was my cousin!" You told him between laughs. "You really thought it was something intimate, I mean, c'mon!" You laughed more as you looked at his flustered expression.
"You can't blame me!" He protested as you continued laughing and brushing off his protest. "You can't blame someone who has feelings for someone just to find out that the person I've been jealous of was your cousin!"
Your laughing seized down when you heard his statement. Did you hear that right? "What?" you asked, dumbfounded.
"What?" He asked as well, seemingly unaware of what he just stated.
"You like me and you were jealous of Toru?" You asked for a confirmation but he only looked back at you with wide eyes. "You like me?" You asked again while inching your head towards his since he is sitting on the floor and you on his bed. He only stiffened and looked down on the floor.
He sucked in a sharp breath and look at you with shy determined eyes, "I like you." Nishinoya could feel the tension in the silence as you haven't answered after his confession. You only stared back at him with shock written all over your face with flushed cheeks.
"I realized the feelings I have for you when you collapsed." He started but before he could continue, you kissed his cheek.
"I like you too." Before you could lean back he pressed his lips soft against your own and cupped your cheeks. You could tell that he was being considerate of you because of the way he was kissing you, giving you a chance to push him away.
But you didn't.
You kissed him back, holding onto his shoulders. Eventually, you both needed to pull away for oxygen. You felt him lean his forehead on yours as he softly placed a kiss on the tip of your nose. You giggled at his sweet gesture and leaned in for another kiss. His arms wandered around your waist as yours around his neck, going upwards as your fingers played strands of his hair. Minutes passed as it turned into a eager kiss until...
"Yuu! There's someone for Y/N-chan!" You both jumped as you and Nishinoya looked back on the door. There stood his grandfather with your cousin behind him along with your dad. Both of you looked back at them with wide eyes while they did the same while his grandfather and your dad jaw dropped at the scene.
"Oya, oya? What's this? What a surprise~" Oikawa teased as with a teasing smile.
"Y-You're my daughter's b-boyfriend?"
"Y-Yuu h-has a g-girlfriend?"
"Damn straight!" Oikawa answered with a laugh.
