The Journey Of Asanoya

Chapter 1: Asking for advice

It was another usual day of volleyball practice at Karasuno High School. Asahi just finished class and was walking to the door. Just then, he heard loud footsteps behind him, but before he could turn to see who it was, he felt a hard slap on his back. "ITAI!", Asahi cried loudly. "YO! ASAHI-SAN! WHATS UP?". Asahi realised it was none other than Nishinoya. "Oh, hey Nishinoya. As lively and noisy as ever I see." Nishinoya smiled brightly at Asahi. "So! How was class?" Nishinoya curiously pried the ace. "It was fine. How about you?" Asahi politely asked. "Hmm, okay I guess. Guess what! I am improving on my Literature!" Nishinoya said proudly. Asahi's eyes lit up the moment he heard this good news. "Really? Thats great Noya! I knew you could do it! I always believed in you!" Asahi replied happily. "Knew you could do it? Believed in you?" These words that came from Asahi started to run through Nishinoya's mind. "Y...you mean...all these time..you were cheering on for me? You really believed I could do it?" Nishinoya asked, slightly blushing. "Of course! I mean, if you can work so hard for volleyball and become such an amazing Libero, I dont see why you cant for studies. I always admired you for your determination." Asahi said without thinking twice. Nishinoya blushed even harder. He always did whenever Asahi praised him like this. "Erm...Thanks alot Asahi! Come on, let's go for practice! The others are waiting!" Nishinoya ran into the hall. He could feel his heart beating faster and his cheeks burning a little. When others compliments him, he feels grateful. But when Asahi does, he always feels embarrassed, because he has a crush on Asahi. Meanwhile, Asahi looked at Nishinoya running before entering the hall himself. He was just thinking about how cute the tiny libero is. He always had a crush on Nishinoya. When he first met him, he thought he was really cute and handsome. But after seeing how hard Nishinoya trains to promise to be a good Libero and help the team, he started to fall in love with Nishinoya even more. 

The two of them have a thing for each other, but neither have the confidence to confess to the other. 

"Alright! Everyone's here! Let's get changed and start our individual practice!" exclaimed Daichi, the team captain. "YES!" replied the whole team. Asahi took his uniform and was about to put it on. Then, he saw Nishinoya about a metre away from him. He drank some water and removed his shirt. Asahi couldnt help but stare at Nishinoya. He was thinking about how hot he is. He noticed the ribcage that could be seen slightly as well as his skinny waist. "Shit...he is so hot and cute..." Asahi thought to himself. He couldnt help but blush after seeing his crush's upper body exposed. "ASAHI!" Asahi snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at the person next to him. It was Suga. "Are you alright? Your face is really red. Are you having a fever?" Suga asked worriedly. "What? No no. I am fine. Thanks Suga." Asahi replied, embarrassed. He really hope no one caught him starting at Nishinoya. He quickly changed into his uniform. 

A few hours later, practice ended. "ALRIGHTTTTTTTTT!" exclaimed Nishinoya. "Hahaha, Noya-san, you are still so energetic even after practice?" Tanaka laughed. "Of course! Because we are going to get ice cream! Its so hot I need to get at least three popsicles." Nishinoya replied Tanaka. After Nishinoya opened his eyes from the excitement of getting popsicles soon, he saw Asahi pushing a cart of volleyballs. Asahi practiced extra hard today and Nishinoya could tell his arms were abit sore from the numerous spikings. Nishinoya ran towards Asahi. "Asahi-san! Let me help you!" "It...it's okay Nishinoya. I can manage." Asahi said. He didnt want to burden the tiny libero. "Its fine! I wanna help." Nishinoya wanted to put his hand onto the cart to help Asahi but miscalculated the area and touched Asahi's hand instead. Asahi, flustered, stopped pushing the cart. Nishinoya realised what he had done and started to blush as well. He looked up to Asahi, all red. They stared at each other in awkardness for a while, not knowing what to do. "Uh, sorry." Nishinoya took away his hand and averted his eyes. "Its fine." Asahi replied. "His hand was so warm and he looked so cute when he blushed." The both of them thought that about the other. Then, they looked at each other again. They wanted to continue the conversation, but both were too embarrassed to start. They didnt even know how to. "Hey hey hey, stop staring into each other's eyes and hurry up push the cart into the equipment room, lovebirds." Suga teased the two of them. "We're...we're not lovebirds!" Both of them exclaimed. Suga couldnt help but laugh at the reaction of the two. "Oh really? You guys looked at each other for 7 seconds. You even replied the same words at the same time. How cute. A match made in heaven." Daichi joined in. "Daichi! Stop it!" Asahi replied and turned away. Nishinoya kept quiet but his face was still red. Still, he helped Asahi push the cart into the equipment room.
