Haikyuu! Nishinoya Yuu 1

*Eleanor's POV*

I had been dating Noya for 4 years and 6 months. We were only 13 when we started this relationship. Back then, he was only my crush. But, since then its developed into love. I love Noya now, and I couldn't live without him. I've been friends with Noya for as long as I can remember. The libero was ever fun loving and always knows how to cheer me up. However, recently he's been acting funny. It started on Monday. He came home from volleyball practice, to our small trial apartment, upset. Something happened then. What it was I was clueless. Whether it was a bad practice or someone had said something against me was a mystery. He walked in the door and threw down his bag, sliding off his shoes with his feet. I quickly picked up his bag and took out his lunchbox, clearing it ready for tomorrow. He hadn't spoke a word to me. Not even a glance. It disheartened me a lot, but I pushed it down. Noya was just thinking and was too deep in thought. I served dinner and put it in the table. I walked into the room where Noya was sat on the sofa, staring at the wall.

"Noya," I smiled, standing in front of him. "Dinners ready."

Noya stood up soundlessly and walked to the table. My smile dropped and with it my body seemed to slouch. I walked over to the table with my head down. I sat down and stared at my food. I picked up my chopsticks, but I only played with my food. Noya looked up from stuffing his face with his food. He swallowed his food and put down his chopsticks.

"Ellie, baby, I'm sorry," he said, reaching for my hand

I looked up at him as he held my hands. I gave him a small smile.

"I'm just thinking, don't take it to heart. Please," he said slowly and carefully

I just nodded at him and slowly began to eat. He sighed and continued to eat at a slower pace than before. Once we finished eating I picked up the pots and put them into the sink. I ran the hot water to wash them and put in the washing up liquid. I could feel Noya's eyes on me as I moved about.

"Nishinoya, please," I spoke calmly

I heard him stand up and leave the kitchen. I turned off the tap and rested my hands on the countertop, letting my head fall. I took a small step back, not letting my hands come away from the countertop. I sighed and stood back up properly, and began the dishes.

Later that night, I was laid in bed. I laid on my side, looking at the chest of draws across from our bed. I kept blinking in the darkness. I felt the rise and fall of Noya's chest as he pressed his back against mine. This is not normal. But, I just let it fall on a bad day for my boyfriend and fell asleep to the sound of his soft snores.

It's now Thursday night. The same thing has happened every night since then. I blinked back tears as I picked up the blanket at the end of our bed. I pulled out some spare pillows we have from a cupboard and made my way to the living room. I set up the pillows and laid on the sofa. I looked up at the ceiling and cried my first set of tears. What have I done to upset my long term boyfriend? Why won't he talk to me properly outside of school? What did I do? I furiously wiped away the tears and closed my eyes. I thought of the good times I've had with Noya. Like the time he first used a pick up line on me.

"Hey, Ellie-chan!" Noya shouted

I turned to face the energetic 14 year old libero.

"What's up?" I giggled

"Even if you serve into the net, you're still an ace," he winked at me

I laughed at the slightly shorter boy.

"Oh, Noya-kun," I smiled

I slipped into a short but sweet slumber.

I woke up to someone kissing my forehead. I opened my eyes slowly and I saw Noya stood over me. He smiled down at me.
