Hidden Attractions (Asanoya Asahi x Noya)

In the night time

Noya dried is hair with the soft white towel before slinging it around his neck. He was the last one to get the shower, he figured everyone was already asleep which he would soon follow but first to get a snack.

He counted his change while walking to the vending machine. He heard two screams causing him to look up.

"THATS IT THATS THE GHOST!!" The short red head yelled clinging onto the boy next to him. It was just Hinata and Tanaka.

"Would you guys shut up?! It's just me!" Noya yelled back which stunned the two.

"Ohhh! It's just Noya- San." Hinata laughed, lightly hitting Tanaka's arm.

"That's what I just said!" Noya huffed crossing his arms.

"Noya did you shrink? You look shorter." Hinata pointed out their slight height difference.

"You're right... hmm? It's the hair!!" Tanaka pointed to Noya's hair which was usually spiked up but now it laid flat.

"Noya- san, do you gel your hair up just to make you look taller?!" Hinata asked bursting out in laughter along with Tanaka.

Though their faces changed to a horrified expression rather quickly. Noya felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked up to see a stranger holding his shoulder.

"What are you yelling about? Hush or Daichi's gonna get mad." The long haired man said looking down at Noya.

"AHHH!! ITS ANOTHER GHOST!" Hinata and Noya yelled shocked at the strange man.

"Stop yelling! It's me, Asahi!" Asahi yelled over them trying to calm the boys.

"WHY ARE YOU ALL SCREAMING!! GO TO SLEEP!" Daichi yelled at the boys for disrupting the peace.

"I told you guys to hush." Asahi shook his head, Noya giggled sending apologies his way.
-
Asahi, Noya, Tanaka, and Hinata all walked back to their sleeping area, Noya unlike the others was still quite shaken up. Every little noise made him jump.

"Noya? Are you alright, you're quite jumpy." Asahi spoke making Noya jump again.

"H-huh? No! I'm fine, just wary that's all!" Asahi knew Noya better than anyone, they were best friends after all.

"How about you put your bed next to mine for tonight? That way you don't get scared by me again." Asahi suggested a solution, Noya tried to deny but eventually he caved.
-
"There. Wait, Noya where's your pillow?" Asahi asked as he drug a blanket over Noya's bed.

"Huh? Damn! I must've left it, I knew I forgot something!" Noya face palmed himself, he knew better than to get too excited about the training camp.

"It's fine Noya. We'll just share mine. You'll hurt your back if you don't have proper neck support." Asahi said as he climbed into his bed moving the pillow over so that Noya had half.

With red cheeks Noya took his place beside Asahi, a little closer than he initially thought. His heartbeat began to quicken. Once he noticed his eyes went wide, 'why was his heart going so fast? Boys aren't supposed to this this around boys, right? What's wrong with me?' He thought, the sound of Asahi pulling the blanket over himself shook Noya out of this thoughts.

"Goodnight Nishi, don't forget your pillow next time okay?" Asahi spoke calmly, he was worn out from all the games played that day. Noya though was wide awake.

"Right, sorry. Goodnight." Noya spoke shakily, he mentally cursed himself for not being able to keep his vocal cords steady.
-
Noya tried to stay still in hopes that he could force himself to sleep but of course had no luck. Asahi was unable to sleep due to Noya moving around so much.

"Are you not tired?" Asahi turned over to face Noya, his expression was hard to see in the dark but Noya could tell he was concerned.

"I always have a bit of trouble falling asleep. Sorry I don't mean to keep you awake." Noya replied without looking into the others eyes. His head was buried in the covers.

"How about you just talk to me until your tired?" Asahi suggested making Noya peek his head out from the blanket.

"Talk about what?" He asked holding the blanket to his chest. Asahi thought for a while.

"You and Tanaka always talk about Kiyoko, hmm? What's your ideal type in women?" Asahi giggled at the stupid middle school question.

"Well Kiyoko is a goddess! I don't really have an ideal type of woman I think they're all amazing! Recently there's been a guy that I-... Haha, sorry i didn't mean to say that!" Noya covered his face again hating himself for letting that last part slip out.

"You like guys too? Heh, I thought it was just me. I never really said anything because I didn't want to be the only one like that on the team." Asahi scratched the back of his neck and laughed. He had never told anyone about his attraction to guys.

"You like guys?!" Noya asked shooting up with wide eyes. His face was so red and it burned.

"Yeah... I found out about a year ago. It was really confusing at first but now I've learned to accept it." Asahi sat up along with Noya. He went quiet and just played with a strand of his hair.

"There's one guy that has me so confused lately. I didn't think I liked guys but there's someone that's changing that, it's kinda scary actually." Noya spoke calmer than usual, Asahi tilted his head a bit kinda like a puppy which made Noya's hands slam over his red cheeks.

"This guy must be really handsome to score you, heh." Asahi felt quite weird his crush for over a year just announced that he liked another male, and all this time Asahi was sure that his love was straight.
-
Their conversation drifted into many different subjects, Noya unknowingly snuck closer and closer to Asahi as the time passed. Asahi was laughing at some stupid childhood story of Noya's when Noya hushed him by putting his finger over his lips with a grin.

The conversation then went quiet, Noya was in a daze from being so close up Asahi, the man that made him crazy. Without thinking he reached out for a strand of Asahi's hair, moving it out of his face. He ran his fingers through his soft hair, Asahi froze at the sudden action.

"N-Nishi? What are you-" Asahi spoke but was interrupted.

"Huh? O-Oh! Sorry!!" Noya went to remove his hand from Asahi's hair. Before he could Asahi grabbed his hand putting it back where it had just left. Noya froze in shock. Asahi's thumb ran over Noya's small knuckles.

The amount of eye contact usually would've been awkward but for them it felt exhilarating. Asahi took Noya's small face in his hand and lent forward inching closer to the males face. So close that he could feel his breath hitch every time he got closer. Noya was both flustered and frustrated by the slow pace so he grabbed a fist of Asahi's hair shoving him forward into his lips. Asahi was shocked at first by Noya's move but quickly came back to reality. His crush had just kissed him! Noya pulled away after seeing Asahi freeze.

"Shit! I'm so sorry I didn't ask if it was okay!" Noya hid his face in his hands. He heard Asahi giggle.

"Noya... why'd you pull away?" Asahi gripped his hands prying them away from his face, taking in his features before leaning in for a deep kiss.

"A-Asahi... Hmm." Noya mumbled before being shut up by another deeper kiss from the other male...
