Tangerine (Hinata x Reader)

"Hey, Y/n! Wait up!!" Hinata calls out.

You turn around and see the orange-haired boy running out of class, books in his arms, with a desperate look in his eyes. He skids to a stop behind you as he almost falls over and leans against a wall to catch his breath.

"Whoa, save it for volleyball, Tangerine!" You raise your eyebrows at your friend in exasperation. He pouts at you.

"C'mon...d-don't call....phew...me that!" He stops leaning against the wall and stands up straight and runs his hands through his hair self-consciously. You've been calling him that ever since you were both children. He catches his breath and looks directly at you. "Y/n, I need help for that upcoming test".

You tilt your head to the side. "Have you asked the teacher for help?"

"I've tried! But I never understand what she says..."

You sigh. "Well, I'm free now since I didn't really have plans for lunch. I might as well give you a hand." Hinata's eyes lighten up in excitement. For some reason, seeing him happy gives you a warm feeling inside.

"Really, Y/n? Whoa, you're the best!" Hinata bounces up and down happily. "Maybe this time I'll be able to get a double-digit score!" You laugh as you both head towards the library.

~Timeskip~

"Do you understand?"

"Hmm...I think so!"

Lunch is almost over, and Hinata is slowly but surely understanding the work that the test was based on. It has been a rather amusing study session, since part of that time was spent on Hinata rambling on about volleyball. You didn't really mind. You have always found his interest in the sport fascinating, and hearing how pumped up he is about it makes you pumped up too.

"In that case, I think that's enough for now. We have to go to class soon, anyway." You close the textbook that you've been using to study.

Hinata gives you a bright smile. "You're the best, y/n!" You blush as you cheekily grin. "No problem, Tangerine."

He whines. "My hair isn't THAT orange!" You chuckle. "Oh, it's pretty orange to me." You jokingly pat his hair. It's surprisingly soft. He sighs, but then his smile returns.

"We've been friends for a long time, haven't we? I mean, I've lost count of the number of times you've called me 'Tangerine'".

You think about it. It has really been a long time. You've made so many memories with him....spent so much time together.....called him that nickname so many times....and here you both are, as tight as you were the first time you met. "Yeah....it has been a while." You give him a smile. "I'm glad I get to be your friend!".

"I'm glad too!" He laughs happily. "You're so special to me. You know, I care about you as much as I care about volleyball!"

"That's high praise, Hinata." You say, slightly shocked. He really loves volleyball, so caring about you as much as he cares for the sport really was something special. He must really like you, really, really like you-

Riiiiiing~!

You yell as you were startled by the bell, falling off you chair.

"Gyahhh!" Hinata yelps as he jumps up in shock. "Gah! Are you ok, y/n??"

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." You murmur in embarrassment, a dark blush spreading across you cheeks. You place a hand on your warm cheek. What was the matter with you? Whenever you did something dumb, you laughed it off. Of course, you were embarrassed, but you still saw the funny side of it. Now, you just wish a giant sinkhole will swallow you up. Why are you so embarrassed? You look up and your eyes meet with Hinata's. You instantly draw your gaze away. You silently stand up and clear your throat.

"U-um, should we...?"

"O-ok! I can show our teacher how much I know now!" His eyes drift in wonder, and as you look at him you feel something in your chest. You need to protect him. Admittedly, this isn't the first time you've had that feeling. You've had a suspicion for a while that you may actually have feelings for your dear friend, which is hardly surprising. You almost want to ask him out, but what if he says no?

"-/n? Y/nnnnn?" You blink as Hinata waves his hand over your face. "Hmm? Oh! O-oh, I'm sorry...I was thinking of something. L-lets go!" Hinata pouts in confusion, but doesn't say anything as you both head to class.

~After school~

You grip your bag as you walk out of the main building. Finally, another day over! Despite the relief, something bugs you. It's what happened in the library. You replay it over and over, and each time you feel more and more embarrassed. You just want to forget about it and put it all in the past...but can you?

~Bounce~

Your head turns towards the gym. That's where Hinata practices volleyball after school. You've always wanted to see him practice, but your parents constantly want you home sooner than later to help with chores. You exit the school and start heading down the street.

"Y-y/n!!" You turn and see Hinata clumsily running towards you. "Hinata...?"

"Y/n....why were you so strange in the library?"

"Eh??" You ask in disbelief.

"It's just...I don't know...you seemed kinda off. I just wanted to check that you're ok!"

"I...ah....uh...." You rub the back of your neck in embarrassment. So he'd noticed your behaviour. Darn.

Hinata frowns as he gazes at you. "Y/n, what do you think of me?"

"I...." Should you tell him how you feel? Or just say that you think of him as just a friend? What was he getting at here, anyway? "...what do YOU think of me, Hinata?"

"Wha?? I-I asked you first!" A blush appears on his face as he looks away with a pout.

"Well...I've always liked you, Hinata." You say slowly.

"Liked me? Like...as a friend or...?" Hinata takes a step towards you, looking perplexed. His brown eyes gaze into your soul as his mouth is left slightly open, unable to state the next word he has in his mind.

"Um...as something more. More than a friend, H-Hinata." You've said it. You have basically confessed your feelings to Hinata.

His eyes widen in shock. His hands cover his mouth and he starts to tremble. Uh oh. Have you said the wrong thing? "S-sorry if you don't feel the same way." You apologise, hoping that Hinata will recover from his shock.

He shakes his head. "No, Y/n...no, no! You can't be any further from the truth!" Tears start coming out of his eyes and he smiles widely. "I-I love you, Y/n! You're amazing!"

Now it's your turn to cover your mouth in shock. He likes you? He does! He likes you! You grin as happy tears form in your eyes. "Ah, come here, Tangerine!" You laugh as you pull him in for a hug.

"Whoa, Y/n!" He hugs you tightly. "I'm so freaking happy!"

You smile as you softly kiss his cheek. "I love you, Hinata."

"I love you too, Y/n!"

You embrace each other silently, until a question appears in your mind.

"Wait...what made you think about the library thing, anyway?"

"Oh! I asked some of my teammates about it, and they said that you probably like me." You blush in embarrassment. "Don't worry, Y/n! I'm sure you won't get teased too much~"

You can't help but smile. "You're probably going to get teased too."

"Wah! I'm never gonna hear the end of it..."

The both of you laugh, holding on to each other and never wanting to let go.
