Where there is Love (Asahi x Reader)

S E V E N T E E N

After winning the practice match, Yachi decided to join the team and even made an amazing poster that had people donating to the club and calling in their support. We all finished our exams, I passed wonderfully, of course after a few study sessions with the other third years. Soon we would all be off to Tokyo. Well, almost all of us. Despite the help they had gotten from our lovely new manager, Hinata and Kags failed one of their exams, meaning they would have to join us later. They stood with their backs stiff as they sent us off early in the morning. I knew they would rush through the supplementary classes to get to Tokyo. I had spent the previous night with my family before heading on this long trip. It has been a while since I had been away from them and we all knew this trip was going to be especially hard. When Asahi met me in front of my house in the morning, however, you would have thought that Asahi was the loving sibling towards Ryu and not me. Ryu was even crying as he hugged Asahi goodbye, then he simply came to me and said he planned on finishing the cereal while I was gone. I hate having siblings. At least my father was sad to see me off.

We boarded the bus and us third-years headed to the back with Yachi, who sat with Kiyoko for the ride. Of course, Daichi and Suga were together and that left me and Asahi. I swear they planned this... 

"Y/n take the window seat. That way you can rest on the ride there." Asahi suggested while moving out of the way so I could sit.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to take the window seat? I'm just the manager." I shrugged. he gave me a confused look.

"I figured you'd play with us while Hinata and Kageyama aren't here." He shrugged before moving into the seat. I hadn't thought about that. I'd talk to Ukai about it later. It was a good thing I had brought my volleyball stuff anyways since I still planned on practicing. I slid beside Asahi and pulled out my earbuds. Despite the tension between us, I knew that I would be more upset if I let this opportunity go to waste and not try to reconcile the relationship between us. 

"Wanna listen to some music with me?" I said while offering the left earbud to him. He looked down at my hand then at me before smiling and shyly nodding his head. I chose one of my longer playlists that was filled with (favourite kind of music) and closed my eyes as I leaned my head back on the headrest. After a few songs had played and we were on the road, Asahi shook me lightly.

"You known, you have really good music taste. I have some of these songs on my playlist too. We should make a joined playlist while we are in Tokyo for the ride back, then you can listen to my music too." He suggested while bobbing his head slowly to the song.

"I'd like that." I smiled up at him before closing my eyes and leaning my head on his shoulder, to which he immediately tensed. Just as I was about to move my head, I felt his head on top of mine. Small curls of hair tickled my forehead as I snuggled my head closer to his neck, getting even more comfortable. "You are so comfy, Asahi," I mumbled lowly as I felt my eyes droop.

"You are too. I didn't realize how soft your hair was." I could hear the tiredness in his voice and before I knew it, I was dozing off.

I was slowly waking back up as I heard giggles and shuffling. I hadn't fully opened my eyes but as I gained consciousness, I recognized the giggling as Noya and Tanaka. It wasn't until I heard the audible click of the camera that I had opened my eyes at all. The sight in front of me was some of the boys turned around in their seats specifically Noya and Tanaka who were currently snapping photos of Asahi and me sleeping together. At some point in the ride, it had moved from our head on each other to him leaning against the window holding me to his chest with me snuggled up to him, my arms around his torso. No wonder I felt so warm and comfy. It was obvious he felt so too because he was still sound asleep and his hold on me was unrelenting, not that I was trying too hard to get out of it. My eyes moved around the bus and made eye contact with Tsukki.
