Note Buddies (A Tanaka x Reader)

Chapter Fourty One- Nosebleed

Uhh kind of a blood warning? So if you're squeamish... you get the point.
—————————————————————————
Both teams did their warmups on either side of the net. Each Johzenji member seemed to be filled with energy, all of them jumping in the air in excitement.

  "Holy shit, it's like a full team of Hinata's." (Y/n) whispered to Yachi, making the younger girl giggle.

  The game was about to begin, so the two girls made their way up to the stands, where they would be watching the match.

As (Y/n) made her way up the stairs, she couldn't help but notice how steep the stairs were. 'With my luck I'll probably fall down half of these.' She thought, concentrating on where her feet went.

  She had almost made it to the top, until her legs decided to stop working, and she tripped on the last step, landing face first of the hard tile floor.

  "(Y/n)! Are you alright?!" Yachi cried, running over to the girl, who was still laying on the ground. (Y/n) mentally examined herself before getting up.

'Nothing's broken? Sweet.'

Rolling over, and sitting upright, (Y/n) smiled at her underclassmen. "I think I'm okay." She said laughing lightly.

Yachi looked at her questioningly. "Are you sure?" (Y/n) nodded in reassurance. "Really? Because your nose is sort of bleeding."

Touching just below her noise, (Y/n) felt something wet fall onto her fingers. "Ah, shit." She mumbled to herself, quickly pinching her nose.

  "Yachi do you have tissues, at a gauze, or something?!" The girl asked, the blood beginning to seep between her fingers.

The panicky girl rummaged through her bag frantically, finally pulling out a small package of tissues. "I'll go get you some more from the bathroom!" Yachi yelled, running away.

(Y/n) sighed, standing up while her nose bled. She heard the whistle blow from the court, meaning that the game had begun.

As much as the girl wanted to go and watch, she decided to stay where she was, so that Yachi could find her again easily.

  Leaning against a wall, (Y/n) kept the tissues against her nose, using one after another, with each one turning red.

  A minute later, Yachi came back with a hand full of beige paper towels from the bathroom. "Thanks Yachi." (Y/n) said, her voice more nasally than usual.

  Yachi nodded. "Do you want to go watch the game now? Or wait until your nose stops bleeding?" The girl asked, watching her friend take the paper towels from her hands.

  "Let's go watch the game, I don't want to miss this one." (Y/n) replied, and began walking away, a big smile on her face.

"Uhm (Y/n)? The stands are this way." Yachi said pointing in the other direction. (Y/n) twirled around, and began marching in the direction Yachi was pointing.

The girl continued to smile. "I'm losing a lot of blood here Yachi, bear with me." She said as she passed the other manager.

Once the two had finally made it to the stands that were right above the court where Karasuno, and Johzenji were playing.

The score was currently 11-10 with Karasuno in the lead after Hinata, and Kageyama pulled off their new quick attack.

  A few plays later, (Y/n) watched as Tanaka jumped up and spiked the ball. It was a good hit even though the other team received it.

  "Good job Ryu!" Hearing his girlfriends voice made Tanaka look up at the stands quickly, his eyes landing on (Y/n) immediately.

  The smile on his face quickly vanished however, when he noticed that the girl was holding bloody tissues against her face.

  The ball flew over the net, a Johzenji player spiking it down while Tanaka was distracted. The boy looked back at where the ball had just landed.

  Back in the stands, (Y/n) was frowning as well. 'Why didn't he jump?' She thought, her eyes flicking to the scoreboard to see that Johzenji was catching up.

  "RYU GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!" (Y/n) yelled, making the boy below jump slightly. The two stared at each other, before they both nodded.

  The whistle was blown, and one of the Johzenji players served the ball, sending it to Karasuno's side.

  'Come on she's fine. You need to focus.' Tanaka thought trying to get the image of (Y/n)'s bloody nose out of his head.

  The game continued, Karasuno winning the first set. During the second set, Tanaka seemed more focused, seeming how (Y/n)'s nose had finally stopped bleeding.

However, Kageyama, and Hinata's quick attack flow had been shot off course, and the two were struggling to bring in points.

Luckily Sugawara stepped in, taking Kageyama's place for the rest of the match. He seemed to have a bond with almost everyone on the team, and in the end, Karasuno won the game.

(Y/n), and Yachi cheered, before heading back down the steep steps to where Kiyoko, and the rest of the team was.

Both girls were extra careful, making sure that the wasn't another tripping incident. The two were greeted by the team once they were at the bottom.

It was a few hours until their next match, so Karasuno went to find a new place to sit while they waited.

Tanaka, and (Y/n) walked hand in hand, trailing behind the rest of the team members. "So what happened? Am I that hot while playing? Tanaka asked, while smirking.

(Y/n) laughed. "As if!" She said, making the boy look at her as if to say, "What really happened then?"

"I tripped on the stairs. They're steep as fuck." The girl said. Tanaka laughed, "That was my next guess." He said, as they continued walking.

It was now (Y/n)'s turn to smirk. "But yes, you did look hot while playing." She said, which made the boy turn a slight shade of pink.

"T-thanks." He said, sitting down, and leaning against the wall, where the team would wait. "You're welcome." (Y/n) giggled, sitting down as well.

SIKE! I managed to write a chapter. 😌

I thought of this yesterday while I was outside with my family as we sat in a circle, and watched a tree cremation.
