1: My Happy Place.

You enrolled into Karasuno, a choice that wasn't made by you nor did you agree to. You just had no choice, since it was a high-school that was near to your house, and since you didn't want to bother your parents about it.

You weren't really fitting in, sure you could hold a few conversations here and there, but you never really had any close friends.

You lived a life as plain as that, a background character in a shoujo manga, a character that played the role of a pebble.

Well, that was before you met him.

"Yo!! Y/N!" A voice that made your insides tingle a little called out to you, after that you hear thumps as if he was running up the stairs. "Why are you eating all alone on the rooftop?!" You catch sight of this boy as he wheezed, taking back the air he lost as he searched for you.

"Ah—Sorry! I just thought that eating up here would be good today." You scratched your cheek to hide yourself from embarassment, even more so as you realize that he was carrying a lunchbox with him as well.

"Let's eat together then!" He energetically says with a grin as he wasted no second getting comfy next to you. He glanced at the food you had despite you covering it the best that you could when he got near. "H- Hey, don't look—"

"Woah! That looks awesome!! Did ya make it? You can cook?!"

He looked at your food as if it was his, and you couldn't help a blush paint your cheeks. "Yeah.." You nodded. "How about yours, Noya?" You called him by a nickname the two of you agreed to and looked at his lunchbox that seemed to be designed with lighting stickers. "..Did you add those stickers?"

You hear the energetic boy chuckle a little as he nodded at your last question. "Cool, ain't it?!" He proudly looked at his masterpiece before opening it, and the first thing you saw was nothing but a mess of meat and vegetables, you didn't even understand what was in his lunchbox.

But you laughed anyway.

"Wh—Why are you laughing?! Is it ugly?" He said as he found it weird that you suddenly laughed, he stared at you though, a warm smile starting to spread on his lips.

"No! It's not that!! It's just that your lunchbox is so creative!" You say while wearing the biggest smile you've had today, your cheeks were rose tinted from laughing.

He couldn't help but blush a bit too. "O- Of course! It's from the best, you know?" He says before clapping his hands together, making you flinch from the unexpected clap.

"Thank you for the meal!"

He broke the chopsticks and started digging in his food, at this rate he might even finish earlier than you, you thought. You ate another mouthful, thinking that you should catch-up.

Until you looked up from eating just to see a Nishinoya packing up his empty lunchbox. You accidentally whined a little because you wanted to finish with him but then you turned red, thinking that he might've heard that.

"Hn? Oh, you're not done yet, Y/N." He said as he eyed your organized and girly lunchbox.

What does it look like! Your face screamed as you couldn't speak because your mouth was still full, making you a little flustered as he looked at you and his eyes started to lighten up, as if he was amused.

"Uwah! Y/N, you turned into an angry squirrel!!" He says before you got even more angrier and pouted, that made him burst into laughter, a sound that you could listen to all day.

While he was busy laughing, you managed to chew faster and swallow it before he wiped a tear in his eye, he slowly opened it to look at you, not expecting a full attack on his cheeks. But you did and squished it like it was mochi.

"Ow ow ow-!! I'm shory- shorryy!!" He said in gibberish as he couldn't speak properly at all. You stopped there when you thought he got what he deserved and grabbed your chopsticks again.

"I'll eat faster then, if you want." You smiled at him as he rubbed his red cheeks. You took a piece of meat on your lunchbox and was about to eat it, until he yanked your hand with his and ate the meat that was supposed to be yours.

You were speechless to what happened, making you dumb enough to not process what he did, before he looked at you with a smirk placed on his lips. "Payback for squishing my cheeks!" He said as he childishly stuck a tongue out at your dumbfounded face.

Only then did you realize as your cheeks turned a pinkish hue, going up to your ears and fingertips where he touched them. Nishinoya tilted his head a bit when he saw you turn red, and was about to ask if you were sick before you bonked him in the head.

"Owww! Not againnn!" He grumbled as he rolled on the floor, clutching his head. It wasn't that painful, but he thought it unfair.

"You just can't do that to a girl, okay? Geez.." You complained as you closed up your F/C lunchbox and set it aside, next to his lunchbox. Before laying down next to him after he rolled around and around, looking at the fresh blue skies.

"The sky looks refreshing." You started, and he replied with a hearty hum of approval as you two watched the clouds that passed by. One time when a big cloud passed by, Nishinoya pointed it out that it was shaped like himself. I couldn't stop a giggle to slip through, and I agreed with him. But deep in my thoughts, the one that looked like him was the small, cute cloud next to it.

"I wish classes didn't start so sooooon.." He complained with a disappointed tone as he walked through the first year's building, knowing fully well that he should get going to the second year's one.

"I know what you mean." I said as i looked at him, already missing the time we spent there at the rooftop, because it'll be our first, and last one. You were cheerfully walking with him, though. Until he asked a question.

"Do you think we could be like that too?"

He looked at you, eyes that gleamed brighter than the skies that you two watched that seemed so light. You pursed your lips, not knowing if you can answer quick as your words were stuck on your throat, deciding if it's the answer he needs, or the answer you want that you should say.

"..Yeah! Of course!" You say in enthusiasm as best as you could.

"Thanks! See you again Y/N!!" The boy whose voice rang the whole hallway waved you goodbye as he dashed away to his respective building, leaving you standing there as you watched his broad shoulders, getting smaller with every step he took.

He was short, loud, and annoying in any way, yet..

He's my happy place, even if his happy place was someone else.
