You watched as the team chattered for what seemed like hours on end; their team was essentially a mini-family and you wondered whether you was apart of it. Sure, you would occasionally visit but you'd never really considered yourself part of their team- you had a team of your own- so why was there this sense of longing in your chest as you watched them? Your hand moved towards your chest, where you heart would be, and clenched your shirt in order to stop its foreign aching. You really liked these guys- you wanted to be apart of it - their little family. You turned to Tsukishima who seemed to be staring at you and you raised an eyebrow. Yamaguchi seemed to pick up the action; but didn't question it, but you did question it when he came up to you.

"You have a weird expression on your face- nothing new I suppose. It's just as obnoxious as ever" Tsukishima comments, a smirk playing on his lips and you huffed. 

"What do you want?"

"Well. You may be annoying but you're still my classmate" he muttered angrily, moving his glasses up his face and you couldn't help but smile at his weird display of concern. He would never admit it- but you supposed he showed affection in his own way. You grinned at him, and he glared at you.

"Don't look at me like that-"

"Thank you for caring Tsukishima. But I'm fine."

He shrugged his shoulders at you turning away to return talking with Yamaguchi. "Just don't volleyball yourself to death. You never seem to just sit down do you?"

You were about to reply, however all words seemed to leave your mind and Nishinoya wrapped his arm around your shoulders from behind. You blushed, despite the friendliness in the action, you couldn't help but feel how your heart thumped aggressively in your chest and how the butterflies swarmed in your stomach at the action; and the worst thing was that he was completely oblivious to what he was doing to you.

"What's up with you guys? Excited about the training camp?"

"Training camp?" you question, tilting your head to the side in confusion. Nishinoya couldn't help but think the action was cute- but he quickly dismissed the thought with a blush dusting his cheeks, looking away slightly.

"I doubt I'm going Nishinoya-Senpai. I'm just here because I thought we'd walk back together."

"She's probably right- for once" Tsukishima smirks, and Nishinoya resists the urge to snap at him. He didn't quite know why he was suddenly so angry, but he didn't like the way the two of you were interacting- despite the fact there was nothing to be suspicious of. But he just shrugged it off, his heart warming at (Y/n)'s happy grin -despite Tsukishima's comment.- He found himself slightly jealous- but shook his head in an attempt to rid himself of his thoughts. You looked up to him, with a mischievous glint in your eye and he found himself rising his eyebrows in question.

"Will you treat your precious kouhai to ice cream?" you asked cheekily. He laughed at you before answering. "Sure! What kind of senpai would I be if I didn't?" You giggled, grabbing his hand and dragging him towards the doors of the gym. You two bid your goodbyes, before heading into the cold winter air. You looked at Nishinoya, who seemed to still be catching his breath slightly. It was hardly noticeable, a slight change in his breathing pattern but it was enough for you to detect it. You reached in your bag, pulling out the water bottle you got for him earlier and handed to him. 

"Here, some water may help."

 He stared at you for a moment before grinning, Muttering a small 'thanks' before gulping down the water and you laughed. You presumed that Nishinoya might've forgotten his water bottle with everything going on - or drank all of his - so you made sure you brought an extra in case he needed it. You eyes suddenly lit up, remembering the uniform you received early that way and you immediately got it out your bag to show Nishinoya.

"I forgot to show you- it's my official libero uniform! I'm on the starting line -up and everything; it's so cool!" You exclaimed excitedly. Showing Nishinoya your new uniform and he couldn't help but smile. You found happiness in even the smallest of things.

"It's really cool- well done!" he praised, with a thumbs up and you blushed slightly. You suddenly wrinkled your nose pushing Nishinoya towards the boys training room. 

"You need a shower; you really stink of sweat" you grumbled. He punched you in the arm lightly before going in the changing room to take a quick shower and you laugh. After a good few minutes he comes out, seemingly as good as new, and you smile. "You took as long as a girl would!"

"Hey- isn't that insulting to you as you're actually a girl?"

"I act more like a boy than a girl most of the time. And I didn't take that long to get changed myself after practice. Probably because of Yui-Senpai. She's really intimidating when she's angry. Third year and captain of the girls team- but she can be really sweet. Apparently she's the childhood friend of Daichi-San."

Nishinoya raised his brows slightly at the information. Before pouting childishly and you gave him a confused glance.

"I thought you only called me senpai!"

"Awwww, are you jealous? Would you prefer an upgrade to Noya-Senpai instead?" you teased and he blushed, his face turning scarlet as he stuttered. You couldn't help but laugh at his face, grinning widely.

"Okay then, Noya-Senpai it is!"

'I could get used to that...' he smiles to himself walking alongside you as you animatedly talked about volleyball. He began wondering whether it was possible for you to come along to the training camp after all; he was going to go without actually playing until Asahi arrived. Does that mean you could too? He supposed he'd have to talk to Daichi later on. But for now, he'd enjoy the time he had - he'd enjoy the ice cream and your happy expression when you got your (f/f) ice cream. He had a horrible feeling...

He was falling for you. And there was nothing he could do about it.
