Oblivious

Chapter 1: Yes Captain

Thoughts in ✨italics✨
Suga's POV:

It was a late Friday afternoon and we were all in the training room. The sun was setting and a warm light was coming through the windows of the court. It was making the atmosphere calm and homely despite all the shouting from my teammates and the sounds of balls hitting the floor and sneakers skidding on the surface. I'm used to those things, the smells, the sounds and sights, it actually makes me happy and calms me down since the place is so familiar and nostalgic.

Practice was almost over and I found myself sitting on the bench beside the court to take a 5 minute break. It's exhausting, both playing volleyball and having to deal with chaotic kids. However, I'm not alone, I never was when it came to these things because I have Daichi with me to make things easier.

I was now looking at him, admiring him. I found myself doing this lately and not only in a physical way but I also admire who he is, his strength and wisdom. Well, it really depended on the day actually. Sometimes I was just horny and had certain thoughts lingering in the back of my head and some days I was a bit more chill and could focus on other things besides his low voice, perfect skin, strong thighs, messy brown hair, cute smile...YOU GET THE POINT.

"Oi Suga" Daichi pulled me out of my thoughts and grinned softly at me, he was sweating and holding a ball with one hand. "We are almost done, come on" he threw the ball at me and I reacted fast, trapping it between my hands. "Alright!" I stood up and patted his back then got into position. I then clapped a couple of times to get the team's attention and smiled "Come on everyone, I know you're tired and have been working hard today but after this we'll get dinner together so give your all!" There was excitement and an energy boost after I said that, especially from the first years. I guess food really is a good motivator for them. I laugh to myself from that thought and get on with practice.

After about 30 minutes of doing a practice match, we finish and start putting things away. Kageyama was bickering with Hinata, while Tanaka and Nishinoya were fantasizing about what they were going to order later on, and Yamaguchi and Tsukishima were having a peaceful conversation about music. It all felt right and familiar, nothing out of place just everyone being who they always are. I smiled to myself and started walking to the storage room while holding the net for the court.

Once I got into the small closet, my foot got tangled into the long net and I fell hard onto the floor. Daichi was on the court pushing the ball cart, when he heard the loud noise he ran towards me. "Suga!" he was frowning, genuine concern flooding his expression. The rest of the team was already in the changing room getting their stuff to go get dinner, Daichi and I were only putting the last few things away.  "I'm okay, I'm okay" I smile with furrowed brows, it really did hurt but I didn't want to worry him. "Try to stand up" he reached down to offer me a hand and I took it. As I was trying to stand up I winced a little and took a few steps. "See? I'm okay, stop worrying so much" I put my hands on my hips and gave him a fond smile, then I suddenly flinched at a sudden sting bellow my knee. Before I knew it, Daichi was examining my fresh scrape.

"Sit, I'll go get the first aid kit" before I could protest, he left quickly and returned seconds later. I was sitting on a small stool in the closet and he kneeled in front of me to get a better view of my leg. My relationship with Daichi has always been one that I have treasured since my first year of high school. We've always made a good team and balanced each other out perfectly and we very rarely got into arguments. However, lately this fondness I've had towards him for so long has been turning into something else and I'm not sure if I like it, I'm scared of it for the most part.

My thoughts were interrupted by gauze with alcohol on my flesh causing me to flinch. "A-ah D-Daichi warn me next time" I try to glare at him but It had a hint of a flirty smile behind it. Ah...it'll sooner or later be obvious that I like him. Daichi looked up for a second and titled his head. "Let me take care of it, stay still" he then got back to work and I couldn't help but laugh at how serious he was being "Yes captain~". Daichi blushed lightly and suddenly stopped and looked away "What was that for?", I tried not to laugh again or smile too much "I was just trying to lighten the mood...you're too tense". Daichi sighed once he realized I was right and he let himself wear a faint smile on his lips. "I'm sorry...I just- I don't know, I guess the thought of you being hurt in the slightest tenses me up for some reason". I couldn't help but blush and feel my heartbeat faster. I didn't know what to say back so I just made eye contact with him, put my hand on Daichi's shoulder and squeezed it to reassure him.

After he had put the first aid kit back were it was, I stood up from the stool and before we could say anything to each other, the training room door opened to reveal 4 heads peeking inside. Nishinoya, Tanaka, Hinata and Kageyama "Are you guys coming?!" Noya still had so much energy despite the long training we just had, seriously that kid surprises me every day. Daichi nods and then looks at me as if waiting for approval and then I nod and smile at the boys. While I turned the lights off and then locked the doors of the training room, Hinata told us that Tsukishima and yamaguchi were already at the place.

We were all now walking together towards the cafe, the four boys being loud while we were behind them in silence. It was comfortable and natural, not awkward or weird. However, Daichi seemed to be in a completely different mindset than me because when I looked at him he had an expression that was hard to read. Is something bothering him? "Hey, Daichi...is everything okay? Please tell me if there's something bo-" "I'm okay" his expression changed drastically into a casual smile "I was just wondering if we could talk after we finish dinner...maybe I can walk you home?"
