Part-Time Lover [NoyaHina]

Chapter sixteen「16 課」

AN: Sorry for the long wait guys I've been feeling so burnt out from writing so many chapters and all my schoolwork, artwork and training has finally worn me out. I'm trying to plan the rest of the story out and it's a bit hectic, though its ending soon. But thanks for waiting. If you read all of this thanks :) i probably spend more time choosing the gifs

Disclaimer: this sounds like an ending but it's not over yet

Nishinoya clenched his jaw as he felt the hard, leathery volleyball hit his bare skin.

He thought about what Hinata had said earlier; the words echoing in his head like the noise of the volleyball hitting the ground. His skin burned with the familiar sting he was always used to. The libero started to list all the pros and cons of dating Hinata Shouyou.

One, he likes volleyball; that's a pro.

Two, he's...cu- very nice to look at...a pro.

Three, we like the same stuff...? Nishinoya lowered his eyes as he realised, they spent all their time playing volleyball and when they weren't—they were talking about it.

Four, he's strong and never gives up; just like me.

Nishinoya watched the ball fly past him, just missing the court line. "Out!"

It was a normal school morning after training, but Nishinioya was fidgeting in his seat; he folded his fingers together and tapped his feet on the ground. The pen in his hand twirled in his fingers. The piece of scrap paper on his desk remained blank. He wondered what he should write, he thought it would be better than trying to talk to Hinata; which we know never really worked out the way he wanted. If he wrote a note, then it would say exactly what he wanted, and he wouldn't have to lose his cool. Better to not embarrass himself even more. Nishinoya bit his lip.

Five, he never gives up—ever.

Six...six...he can jump like really high.

Seven, he ignores his disadvantages and only focuses on his strengths.

Nishinoya pursed his lips together while he tried to think of reasons why he should date Hinata. He heard a classmate pull out the chair next to his table. The libero leaned over to the side, just to make sure the other guy couldn't see what he was going to write.

Eight, he doesn't care about your flaws.

Nishinoya's cheeks reddened at the memory of Hinata cheering for him when he started to drastically improve his overhead receives. It took him so many hours and he messed up many times, but Hinata still congratulated him.

Nine, he wants to experience everything at least once...just like me.

Nishinoya recalled all the conversations he had with Hinata where the two discussed all the things they wanted to do later in life. Hinata said he never had a plan and would just go where volleyball takes him. They both wanted to see as much of the world as possible. He remembered laughing at the mental image of Hinata in a sun visor and playing beach volley when he mentioned it.
