The Short King | Nishinoya X Reader

° New Friends? °

The day eventually came to a close; however, your cousin had volleyball practice so you came to watch him.

As you entered the gym, you noticed that the Nishinoya kid was also on the team.

"Who are you?"

You jumped at the sudden voice and turned to face the person it came from.

You were standing in front of a tall, grumpyish looking boy with black hair. He was next to a far shorter boy with ginger hair.

"I'm Y/N L/N, Tsukishima's cousin."

The eyes of the ginger one widened.

"NO WAY!!! You're Tsukishima's cousin??!! I would have thought you'd be a little, you know, taller?"

"Oh shut up."

"Anyway, I'm Shoyo Hinata and he's Kageyama."

Soon, practice started so you sat on the sidelines, watching as the team practised the things they needed work on.

Your eyes widened when you saw Hinata spike the ball that Kageyama had set to him. It was so fast, so perfect.

You were so wound up in your thoughts that you didn't notice a ball coming straight for you.

"Y/N!!"

You looked up, seeing someone dart in front of you to receive the incoming ball.

The boy turned around to reveal the blonde streaked shorty from before.

"That was close, you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks by the way."

His mouth turned into a big grin.

"No problem, just doing my job as Libero."

You smiled at the goofy boy in front of you, cute you thought.

Wait, no, I just met this dude.

Le time skip brought to you by curtainless windows.

Practice was over so you decided to help pack things up. Once you were done, you waited for your cousin outside.

"Heya, Kei."

"Hello."

He placed his headphones on his ears, ignoring you completely as you walked back to your house.

Unbelievable.

You decided to pay close attention to your surroundings, trying to memorise your way to and from school. You can't be relying on Tsukki all the time.

Over the next few days, you got to know the rest of the volleyball team better. You now knew all of the names and had become quite good friends with the two in your class, Nishinoya and Tanaka.

The exams began the next day so of course those two had to try and gain some knowledge, somehow.

(A/N does anybody else's school have the end of year exams in the middle of the school year or is it just mine?)

"Y/NNNNNNNNNNN"

"Yes Tanaka, how may I help you."

"You're related to Tsukishima?"

"Correct."

"Tsukishima is very smart."

"Also correct."

"Soooo...."

"What are you trying to get out of me?"

"That must mean you're also smart, so can you help me and Noya study?"

"And why should I do that?"

You had taught a few things to your cousin, this was one of them, don't lend people your knowledge for free.

"PLEEEAAASSSSEEEE!!!!" They both shouted.

"What's in it for me?"

They clearly hadn't thought of that.

"Err, we'll, err... Buy you lunch for a week?"

"Deal."

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah, why not."

Now, there was one thing you could never resist, and that was food. Especially when it was free.

"Now, come on, I'll take you back to my place, we'll study there."

You walked the boys over to your place and walked in.

"Hey, Mum, I've got some friends over to study."

"Sure thing, I'll bring up drinks and snacks in a minute."

"Thanks, Mum!"

The three of you went upstairs and placed yourself on the floor of your bedroom which was now fully decorated.

You were trying to help them as much as you could; however, some parts were very slow. It didn't help that with maths, you don't get how people don't get it so you couldn't explain it all that well. You tried your best though.

Soon it was time for them to leave and you hoped you had done all you could.
