I Love Yuu (Nishinoya Yuu X Reader [Haikyuu!!!])

Chapter 7: Noya Kun Likes Me?

Chapter 7

"(y/n) chan! I really like you! Please go out with me!" Noya exclaims, his eyes looking straight into mine.

His eyes had a look of determination in them, which made my heartbeat accelerate. My heart was pounding against my chest so loud that I worried he could hear it. I could feel the stares of the few students that were around us, waiting for what was going to happen. This made my heart beat faster and my hands slightly tremble, not being used to be in the spotlight. I opened my mouth, willing myself to give him an answer.

"Y-yes—I mean no—I mean—what?" I stumble over my words, my face slowly heating up for the hundredth time today.

My legs suddenly felt weak, and I realized they were shaking. I felt something wet roll down to the top of my lips, and I grazed my fingers over it. When I looked at my fingers, sure enough, there was blood on them. "Ah..."

My legs gave in, and I stumbled. Luckily, Noya got up just in time to catch me before I fell. My hands caught his shoulders, and I felt his arms wrap around my waist. In this position, my face was half hidden behind his shoulder, and I was thankful for that since it hid my nosebleed and how red my face was from the people watching.

"Sh-should... should we go t-to the clinic?" Noya stammers out, and I nod against his shoulders. I could tell that his hands were slightly hovering over my back, but were still firm around me, knowing that I could possibly fall if he didn't securely hold me. "Okay then."

A few torturous minutes later, Noya and I arrived at the clinic. The nurse didn't seem to be in, so Noya left me to sit one of the clinic beds, and got me some tissues. I gratefully took the tissues from him, and leaned forward, doing the necessary steps to do when having a nosebleed.

"Thanks..." I mumble.

"No biggie."

"I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

"Your... um..." I stammer, unable to say the word 'confession', "... for earlier. I... didn't—I didn't know what to say... o-or do..."

"I really like you."

"A-ah," I accidentally reply. I could feel a blush forming on my cheeks. "I'm not used to that kind of attention..."

I hear Noya chuckle from beside me. "But you should be." I fell silent. "I like you, (y/n) chan."

My heart skipped a beat. "Don't you think it's a little too early for you to be so sure that you like me?" I asked.

"No," was his straightforward reply. "I don't think liking someone has anything to do with how long they've known them."

I think my heart just did a somersault in my chest. I wipe the blood off my nose again, after letting some flow out to distract myself. "Well... I think it does," I tell him. "I think to truly have feelings for someone... you'd have to get to know the person well... and getting to know a person takes time."

Noya was silent for a moment. "I... still like you though..." he mumbles.

I turned to look at him, and find him pouting, slightly looking away from me. NOOOO WHY IS HE SO CUTE?! I internally screeched. We were silent for a moment. I didn't know what to tell him. In a way, I think I like him too... but I don't want to do something I might regret later on... I haven't known him for long, so I'm not that sure enough to tell him I like him yet... besides... is he sure that he likes me...?

"I guess it doesn't matter if you reject me now," was his sudden statement. He turned to me, the determined look in his eyes was back. "I'll just wait for you, and continue to pursue you, and show you how much I like you!" He grins.
