VII. NOT YOUR THERAPIST !

"do you know how embarrassed i was? i literally wanted the ground to open up and swallow me." y/n sighed out, hugging the pillow to his chest, "i mean i was almost one hundred percent sure he liked me as well! i'm stupid not oblivious!"

y/n bit his lip and looked at the ceiling thoughtfully, "but maybe he's like that with everyone! ugh, i'm so stupid!"

"i'm not your therapist y/n, why are you telling me this—and let go of my pillow!" jumonji said, yanking the pillow away from y/n and putting it back in its respective place. "all i asked was for you to tutor me, not to hear your drama."

y/n frowned, "sorry....what question were we doing?" he said, sitting up from his friends bed and movie to the desk.

jumonji shut his book and crossed his arms, motioning for y/n sit in front of him. "listen, maybe he does like you and this is all just a misunderstanding. just ask him, simple. now help me do my math."

y/n nodded with a small smile, "thanks, i guess?" y/n reached for his own bag and pulled out [favorite snack], "to show my gratitude i'll give you this."

"mhm, thanks. now question six."

"i can do this. i can do this. i can do this." y/n muttered to himself as he paced in front the gym. he had to make a lame excuse to get out of practice for a couple minutes so he needed to make this quick so he can get changed.

if hiruma found out he left practice to confess his feelings towards the human tangerine then he'd be dead. "i can do this, i can't do this." he exasperated, running his hands through his hair.

"y-y/n?" hinata squeaked out, peeking his head out of the gym. narita and overheard y/n talking to himself outside and mentioned it aloud, and everyone immediately looked to hinata.

"hinata! hi! hello! it's funny seeing you here...at the gym...where you play volleyball...." y/n said awkwardly, reaching his arm out to lean against the wall but completely missing and stumbling to the ground.

he scurried to get back on his feet and dusted himself off, usually hinata is the one embarrassing himself...

"w-what are you doing here?"

y/n turned around and took a deep breath, shaking his head once then turning back to face a confused hinata. "i like you, and i'm pretty sure you like me as well. and if by any chance i'm wrong then we can just forget these words came out of my mouth and continue on being friends."

hinata felt the blush creep up his neck and dusting his cheeks. his crush liked him! liked him! hinata was so excited that he forgot to respond, running into the gym to tell the team. he was met with wide eyes and a bunch of hand gestures to go back outside.

y/n frowned when he saw the door close, why had hinata just leave him like that? no. hinata wasn't that mean.

"go back outside and confess idiot!" kageyama yelled angrily, kicking him outside the door that sugawara opened.

oh! i forgot! hinata smiled sheepishly at y/n, "s-sorry i got excited. i like you too!"

"yeah?"

"mhm!" hinata nodded, rocking back and forth on his feet nervously. "d-does this mean we're boyfriends now? l-like we can hold hands and stuff?" he asked softly with flushed cheeks.

"i'd like us to be boyfriends, but if you're not ready yet then we could totally just be friends for now..."

"he wants to be boyfriends!" a yell came from the gym, y/n then noticed the door cracked open and everyone peeking from it to get the tea.

"i would really like to leave it at that but since it didn't come from your mouth...."

"i want to but...i need to ask my mom first."

the team all collectively groaned, but y/n didn't mind, he found it quite cute. "that's fine, um, well i have to go to practice now. you want to walk home together?"

hinata nodded, "i do."

hinata waited patiently outside the volleyball gym, practice just ended for him and y/n had told him he'd meet him there once his ended as well.

"are you okay to be okay hinata?" sugawara asked, locking the gym doors. "i can wait with you if you want."

hinata shook his head, "it's okay! y/n said his practice ended a little after ours..."

sugawara looked to asahi and daichi before nodding hesitantly, "okay...well get home safe."

hinata didn't have to wait long, maybe five to six minutes too. he heard laughing and instantly perked up, y/n was walking towards him with someone hinata hasn't met before. they said their goodbyes and split up.

"did you wait long?"

hinata shook his head, "no..."

with that, they took off towards their homes. hinata was building up the courage to ask y/n to hold hands, but they weren't dating yet so he was scared of y/n saying no.

"y/n....can i still hold your hand?"

y/n laughed when he saw the worry in hinatas eyes, grabbing hinata's hand, "whenever you want."
