Chapter 38: Self Worth

*Nishinoya's POV*

Before the boys returned home, Y/N gave each of them a goodbye hug. And I promise I did my best to keep my jealousy in check. I didn't say anything. I didn't do anything. I only gave each of them an ever so subtle death glare as they left. Shh Y/N can never know.

Author-Chan: "Oh but she already does..."

Nishinoya: "Hey! Who said that."

Author-Chan: "Oh... uh... this is your conscience.... it's been a while."

Nishinoya: "..."

Author-Chan: "Okay! Moving on!"

Back at my house, Kageyama is staying in the guest bedroom and much to my surprise, my parents are trusting Y/N and I to stay together in my room for tonight.

Now back in the olden days, before Y/N time, spending alone time with a girl in my room, my twisted mind would spiral into perverted thoughts. But since I met Y/N... that wasn't me anymore. I wanted one girl and one girl only and I planned on treating her with the utmost respect.

I finished brushing my teeth and exited the bathroom to find Y/N's head poking around in my closet. I snuck up behind her and gave her a light kick in the ass, "Watcha doing?" I asked mischievously.

She squealed at my sudden appearance, but quickly allowed a large grin to appear on her face. "Oh nothing," she smirked, "I'm just trying to find myself a nice hoodie."

"Here, I know which one you're looking for," I offered to help.

Y/N scooted out of the closet and let me in to shuffle around for my sky blue hoodie. Y/N always said she liked that one and I must admit it is quite comfy too.

As I tugged the hoodie off the hanger and turned around to hand it to Y/N, I caught her staring intently at herself in the full length mirror, shirt lifted just above the waistband of her shorts as she poked at her stomach.

"Now watcha doin?" I raised an eyebrow at her, arms crossed and tapping my foot.

"Uh, n-n-nothing! Nothing!" She stammered out, trying to hide her embarrassed face. Caught!

"Face the mirror again, please," I ordered sharply, but politely.

Y/N obliged, but looked slightly uncomfortable.

"Y/N, Do you trust me?"

"Yuu.."

"Do. You. Trust me?" I asked again.

She silently nodded her head, staring down at her painted toes.

I hovered closely behind her and clutched the hem of her shirt, carefully lifting it up.

About halfway, her hand slapped over mine, "What are you doing?" she asked nervously, fear stricken eyes.

How can I be so stupid? I know about her past with Yuki and even the quick incident with Kuroo. I should have known my actions would have startled her.

"Hey, just trust me, okay?" I said, placing my other hand, over the top of hers. "I would never hurt you. I promise." And I meant those words with all sincerity. I would NEVER break that promise.

She loosened her grip on my hand and I lifted her shirt up the rest of the way. Pulling it off over her head, I was careful not to mess up her hair. I tossed the shirt aside, revealing Y/N in just a sports bra and shorts. I tried my best to hide my reactions to her exposed body.

She was still overly thin, but I could see the very subtle changes heading towards the direction of a healthy body... Not to mention, seeing her half naked definitely brings up some other feelings as well...
