Chapter 16: Moms

*Y/N's POV*

I am proud to report that both Noya and Tanaka have passed their exams. However, as for my brother and Hinata... those morons each failed one exam. I was so pissed to learn that Tobio got all the questions right, but wrote them in the wrong spaces. He really aggravates me sometimes, you know?

So here we are now, on the bus to Tokyo without those two buffoons. It definitely felt weird to travel without Tobio, but I was still required to come since technically I am assistant manager of the team. At first, my brother was concerned with letting me go without him since he couldn't keep an eye on me, but my loving Suga and Noya reassured him they'd take good care of me. Anyways, it's not like we'd be apart for too long. Tanaka's sister was planning to drive those two after they finished their make up lessons.

I turned my head to face Suga. Why am I sitting with Suga instead of Noya you ask? Well, it's simple really. I trust that Suga provides good advice. I really like Noya and I want to find a way to tell him, but I'm also scared he won't feel the same way about me.

Suga spoke first, "So. You and Noya fight or something since you had Tanaka bring him to the back of the bus?"

"No... it's quite the opposite actually," I responded sheepishly.

"Oh?" Suga raised an eyebrow and smirked, expecting exactly what I was about to confess.

"I really really like Noya... in a more than a friend type of way," I admitted awkwardly.

"Then how come you're telling me all this. Shouldn't you tell him?" He questioned.

"Well yeah, but, I don't know. What if... what if he doesn't feel the same way back?" I asked, thinking of the worst case scenarios, breaking my own heart in the process.

Seeing me fall deep into thought, Suga shook me out of it. Literally. He took me by the shoulders and shook me. "Hey, snap out of it. Look at me."

Locking my eyes to his, he continued speaking, "Don't you realize? Noya likes you too!"

"Shhh not so loud," I hissed.

"Did you see how upset he looked when you told him you were sitting next to me? Or how he doesn't obsess over Kiyoko anymore? Or how much he cares about you? Or glances at you throughout practice to check on you? And didn't you guys go on a date?" Suga spat out all the evidence.

Blushing at the last comment, I replied with a sigh, "So how do I tell him? How do you bring something up like that?"

"Breathe Y/N. You'll know when the right time. Just take him aside and tell him in private. Or go on another date with him and tell him then. But, if you are too nervous, I could always get Tanaka to nudge Noya on to tell you his feelings," he gave me a wink.

"That won't be necessary, but you're right. And the sooner I do it, the better," I said half confidently.

Just then, the bus came to a stop. As we walked off, Noya immediately approached me. "Hey! Why didn't you wanna sit with me? Why'd you sit with Suga instead?" He whined.

As I was about to open my mouth, Suga spoke up for me, "Oh, I just wanted to talk to Y/N about something. My apologies. I'll let you have her for the ride back. Promise," he flashed Noya a sweet smile. Thank you for saving my butt Suga.

Once everyone was off the bus, we walked into the gym. Just as I stepped through the door, I saw someone making a beeline for me. "Y/NNNNNN!!!!!"

Lucky for me, the rushing figure skidded to a halt right in front of me. I looked up to Kuroo grinning down at me. "Good to see you again, Kuroo," I let out a low laugh and rolled my eyes, all while Noya was growling at the tall, messy haired boy.
