Nishinoya x Reader- Common Interests

Chapter Twenty-Six: Unbelievably Happy.

A/n: Hello everybody- sorry I'm a day late. >.< But this chapter is quite long (for my standards anyway, 3000 words), so hopefully that makes up for it! Also- Happy Birthday Oikawa! :D (July 20th. Pretty late, but still July 20th! XD)

The match against Nekoma was simply mind-blowing. Although Karasuno had lost; you genuinely believed they were incredible.... Their determination and persistence against the odds, how even though they were loosing they pushed themselves to their absolute limits. Without a doubt, the rivalry between the two teams were immense-  but it seemed it was this rivalry that pushed them out of their comfort zones and encouraged them grow. Hinata's rivalry with Nekoma's 7# was what encouraged him to experiment more with that (already insane) quick attack. If he could learn to switch between the two types of quicks, you had no doubt that Hinata could get through even the toughest of blocks. Even Nishinoya had a rivalry going on; with Nekoma's libero, who you believe is named Yaku. Nishinoya is a very skilled libero, but he still had more room to grow and you had a feeling this libero would help him to do just that. The two teams played numerous consecutive games, with Nekoma winning majority of the matches- Nekoma had trained as a team... They knew each other and their capabilities (and how to use them to their advantage), had the perfect balance of defense and offensive. They deserved their win, but in the future, you were sure Karasuno would get there. You couldn't wait to see an official, 'trash can showdown.' 

You couldn't believe Hinata still had energy, you stared at him as he jumped straight back up from his position on the court asking for yet another game. However, to Hinata's disappointment, the coaches decided it was enough for today and called out for everyone to pack up. Your gaze flickers towards Nishinoya, he was kneeling with his hands on his knees, out of breath. You watched him worriedly, he seemed...Frustrated. You hoped he wasn't blaming himself for losing? Couldn't he see how great of a libero he really was?

"Alright, let's get all this stuff put away!"

"Right!" a chorus of yells rung out.  You looked towards Nishinoya a little longer, before forcing yourself to look away. Making a mental note to talk with him later. You spotted Hinata and Kageyama arguing as they put the net away, and you sighed. These two could argue all day- and it seems they don't even seem the slightest bit embarrassed. You walked over, gathering some of the equipment to put away (which had been left on the floor by an angry Hinata).

"You two can squabble later. If we don't hurry- Nekoma will miss their last train!" you state calmly, giving the pair a small smile before walking over to the storage room. You notice Tanaka, who is already in there, and greet him as you put the said equipment in the bag.

"Come on- you guys pick up the pace" you heard a voice yell from across the gymnasium but you shrugged your shoulders. It was most likely Hinata and Kageyama squabbling again, so someone was attempting to get them back on track. You honestly wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

"Hey"  a voice calls out. You jump slightly, turning around to see a seemingly nervous Yamamoto approaching you and Tanaka. 

"Errmm...Yeah- WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT DIRT BAG! You looking to get yourself dealt with, come on at me city boy!" Tanaka yells, jumping up and getting into a defensive position. 

"You still say city boy?" you question incredulously. Does he realize its not very threatening...At all? You stifle a laugh, before motioning for Yamamoto to continue. He began waving his hands around frantically and you raised an eyebrow. What did he have to ask which would make him that nervous?

"Actually, it's err... The thing is... Your manager, could you maybe- could you tell me what your managers name is?" Yamamoto asks anxiously.

'Oh.'
