Noticed (Bokuto x Reader)

✯ C.3 (三)

"I'm off," i bid goodbye to my mom and start walking off to school. Suddenly my friends from Miyagi come across my mind. Shoyo, i miss you.

That sunshine friend of mine that goes to Karasuno where his inspiration, little giant, went. I met him when we're still in middle school. I was his senior, and i saw his passion for volleyball.

I was jealous of him. Jealous of him that he already found what he wanted to do, spend his time for the things he love because I, don't have something i'd love to do yet, except doing nothing, but does that count though?

I remembered when we first talked. Of course it was something connected about volleyball. He wanted to participate in a volleyball match, however there were no one who is interested in volleyball at that time so he asked one of his friends, Yukitaka Izumi, to join the volleyball club with him who happened to be my friend also.

It was end of the class and i was walking home with Izumi. We saw Hinata who was still practicing. He was throwing the ball to the wall then clasping his hands together to receive the ball. I gulped at the sight, and my jealousy towards him grew stronger. 

'Just how much passion and energy this guy has for volleyball?' i mumbled to myself.

This time his receive was a bit off so the ball rolled at our direction. He saw us and asked Izumi to pass the ball to him and if he could toss for him also but Izumi avoided to do so. We continued walking but i stopped. I told Izumi to go ahead because i have something else to do, which he agreed. 

I thought that it was my chance to start a conversation with him. To the guy i look up to even though he was younger than me. So i came back and saw him still practicing. I gathered my courage to talk to him. This is it. I better don't mess up. Wait. Why do i sound like i'm gonna confess my love to him? I laughed at the thought.

"Um, Hinata-san, do you need some help?" I managed not to stutter. He better heard me because if not, i will not repeat it again and just go home.

He seems to notice me and moreover, heard what i said. 

"Really?! You're gonna toss for me?! Ha?! L/N-senpai?!" As soon as i heard him said that, i instantly regretted it.

How come he still have some energy to spare? I look at his massive sweating figure. I bet he's been practicing for an hour or so, no doubt about that.

"Yeah, only if you want to tho--" i was cut off by him.

"Yes yes!! I want i want!!" He said with sparkling eyes. I smiled at his enthusiastic and exhausted response. 

"Let's start then, shall we?" 

After that encounter we've became really close friends. Even with our year gap.

I've been lost by my thought so i didn't notice the smile on my lips and so the person that started walking beside me. 

I come back to my senses when a tap was made to my shoulder. I quickly look at the person who tapped my shoulder with a fright look. Why i am so jumpy? this shit is a curse.

"Y/N-chan, why are you smiling creepily?" Bokuto said with questioning look.  The smile quickly faded by his opinion.

"It's nothing." we continue walking to school. It was comfortable silence which is a bit strange since Bokuto is usually loud. Again, i didn't notice i was smiling while looking up to him.

"Heh? Why are staring at me, huh? Y/N-chan?" Said he with a smirk and a teasing look which made me a bit flustered.  Since when did this guy knew how to talk like that?

I smile at him more widely, "Nothing. You just look extra handsome today." i said to him keeping my smile. Now its his turn to turn red. Ha, take that.

"H-Handsome?! You think i'm handsome?!" i didn't answer him and just walk ahead. Does he even looks at himself in the mirror? the handsome word itself doesn't even suit his godly feature.

"Eh?! Y/N-chan wait for me!" i heard him saying in the back. I slow down my pace a bit so it would be easy for him to catch up. He was now walking beside me. I stop walking because he was on his knees catching his breath.

I open my bag feeling a bit guilty. I get the water bottle then hand it to him which he gladly take.

He grab it then muttered thanks and quickly gulp it down. After he drank it all, he threw it in the red trashcan nearby. He segregate it. Now that was a turn on.

After that little scenario, we started walking. Not long after, he started talking again. 

"Y/N-chan, i feel like whenever i'm around, you keep avoiding me. I wonder why is that?" he said in surprisingly low tone with a hint of gloominess in his voice. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say without hurting his feelings. So i carefully choose the words that will work the best. Cause i know, we all know,

That he's a big emo baby.

But i can't help but to wonder too. Why does it matter to him if i avoid him or not? why does it matter if i pay him attention or not? He has plenty of friends, why does it matter to him that I, a no special girl at all, notice him or not?

Suddenly, i don't want to answer his question anymore and instead ask him those.

"Does it bother you?" I honestly ask him. 

"Yes." He bluntly answer. I don't understand. What does he mean by that? I'm starting to get pissed.

"Why does it matter?" i manage to say it without stuttering. All of the sudden, i was now nervous. What is he gonna say? 

"Because i like you."
