When we Locked Eyes

Chapter 3 Just Friends?

Nishinoya POV

What happened last night didn't mean anything. Just two bros being bros! Actually, we decided it would be good to do it every other night, so every other night he came to my house and we played game or watched a movie and then ended up sleeping together. We never kissed or did anything bad. I didn't like him like that and I'm pretty sure he likes Kageyama. He hasn't said he's gay but he radiates gay energy. 

He's not the only one. I found out I was gay a little while ago and no not for Hinata but for Asahi. I just feel like it would be nice to have Asahi as a boyfriend. I've never told anyone I liked him but since I've gotten closer with Hinata it would be a good idea to tell him. He won't get hurt from it because he likes Kageyama, I think.

After school, Hinata was walking home with Nishinoya.

"Hey Hinata, do you have your eyes on anybody?" I wanted to know just in case my assumption was wrong.

"Huh, w-wha- why do you ask?" He was pretty nervous when I he answered. Is he... sweating? It's not even hot out! It is 69 degrees outside and he's sweating. Maybe he's sweating because he's just a small ball of sunshine. "I asked because I just want to know. You've gotta have your eyes caught on someone"

"W-well yea I actually do! They're in the volleyball club and they are really nice and we always hang out and their really good at volleyball..." He just kept explaining. I stopped listening after a while. All of it sounds like a description of Kageyama so I was correct. Hah I'm so smart.

"Do you have anyone you like?" Oh well since I asked him it would be fair for him to ask me. I started explaining Asahi and I could see his face was very interested. After I said they were really tall, however, his face turned to a frown. I wonder why it did that.

We got to my house and I started to pick out a movie while he made popcorn. Since he came over so much, it was like he lived there in a way. I found a good movie and he came back with the popcorn. 

Hinata's POV

I was watching the movie and looking back on Noya's description of his crush... Smart, nice, tall... I'm not tall... I still heard that if you confess too late you never will get your chance so-

"I have something to tell you"

We said it at the same time

"You go first" I didn't want to "No, you should go first. Your house your rules" I mean that was true. "Fine I'll go first..." Well, I hope what he says is good news. "I think I like Asahi" I think my heart shattered. "R-really t-that's super cool!" Don't cry whatever you do do not cry. "I uh didn't know you liked guys" I really didn't know but now that I think about it he did openly say "He" when explaining who he liked. "Oh well I guess in a way I can say Asahi turned me gay" I couldn't take it anymore. "What did you have to say" I can't answer that. It's too late. "Oh I forgot but can I go use the washroom?" I can't cry, don't cry, please don't cry. "Yeah no need to ask. In a way, you kinda live here"

I speed-walked to the washroom, looked myself in the mirror, and cried. I didn't know what to do so I just cried. If only I was taller or maybe smarter...

I exited the bathroom a few minutes later. We finish the movie and It's already 3 in the morning. I think we watched three movies. I went to go change and so did he. When I finished changing, I went to his room and made sure he was done changing. He told me to come in, so I did, and I expected for him to have a smaller bed on the floor or something for me to sleep on the floor since I thought it would be weird sleeping with me even though he loves Asahi but it was still the same.

I went and got in the bed and he asked "Do you think I should confess to, y'know, Asahi?" Oh come on can I just go to bed so I can leave? "That really isn't my decision but you should before it's too late" I mean just happened with me right now. "Yeah you're right. It's great to have you as a friend you're always so helpful" Yeah thanks for the friendzone too "Thanks that means a lot coming from you" Can I go to sleep now so I can go home and scream in my pillow?

When we fell asleep his touch didn't feel as warm anymore, it felt... cold and empty. It didn't have any meaning in it like it used to if that makes sense. His heart belongs to Asahi and I'll never have it. No matter how hard I try Asahi will do better and I guess I have to accept that but I can't... My heart hurts so much. My want for him to be mine won't do anything but make it worse for myself. Oh you didn't know how much I just wanted that night to end but it felt like the longest night there is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry for the short chapter I didn't know what to do! And sorry for disappearing for almost a month. But, I started writing this chapter at 5 am and ended at 6:15 am and I got no sleep and since this small chapter took a full hour to write that means that I have no idea whatsoever on what to do next but I'll try and update you. Will Noya confess to Asahi and get accepted or rejected? Will Hinata tell Noya about his feelings and Noya lied about Asahi and feels the same? You'll know next time on "When we Locked Eyes"!
