Reach Out. Nishinoya Yuu x Reader

Chap 22

'We're... dating?...' I thought as we walked quietly inside my house. I offered him dinner before he went home and he agreed with a smile. I didn't know that a simple suggestion could make me this nervous.

"I'll make dinner now." I told him while he went to his usual spot in the living room and nodded at me. He was still smiling.

'His goofy smile... its similar to his smiles when he wins against his practice opponents in Karasuno.' I smiled and gathered the materials.

"Noya-kun! Do you have something you want to eat in mind?" I called out.

"Anything is fine, (l/n)... (f/n)-chan!" I giggled at his hesitation on what to call me.

Once I was done cooking, I called him into the dining room and we both said thanks.

"So (f/n)-chan... you can call me Yuu now..." he shyly said as he ate. I nodded but I still couldn't bring myself to call him that. He must have noticed how nervous I was feeling so he decided to laugh suddenly.

"W-what? Why are you laughing?" I asked worriedly.

"I just remembered this funny story that Ryu told me." Then he started to tell the story, exaggerating on some parts which made me laugh despite the boring story of what actually happened. We laughed and kept the conversation going as we ate. We didn't even notice that we were both finiahed eating and that it was late.

"Here I'll take the plates." He offered and placed them on the sink. I followed him and tapped on his shoulders so he'd know that I'll wash the dishes. He stayed beside me on the kitchen counter. He leaned on his arm that was resting on the counter while he slouched. I could tell he was observing me and I couldn't help but look at him and smile.

"(F/n)-chan..." he leans in closer. I start to feel my heart beat faster. Then I felt his arms slowly wrap around me. His face inches from mine as he held me close. He smiles widely and says "thank you!"

I smiled back "For the food?" He shook his head. "For letting me date you!"

"Hey... Can I hug you tighter?" He pouts. I still couldn't speak since I felt nervous, but I managed to nod my head and his face lit up. He hugged me tighter, I could feel how happy he was as he snuggled his nose at the arch of my neck.

I tap his shoulders and he let go. He scratched the back of his head and laughed loudly. "Sorry! I got off track, you just smell really nice and I felt really happy that I couldn't let go."

I sighed and smiled. "You are a tough one... Yuu." He leaned in to hear my voice then he grinned. "What was that, (f/n)-chan?" He placed his hand on his ear gesturing an I-couldn't-hear-you pose.

I snorted at how confident he looked. Then I could see that his neck was vulnerable so I leaned in until it was centimeters away only for me to lightly kiss it. He jerked back, losing his composure.

"I said you're a tough one." I giggled a him and he smiled nervously.

"That's unfaaaair~ We're just dating, (f/n). You can't kiss me like that yet!" He whines but he still had a smile on his face.

I kept teasing Noya, but he teased back. We laughed as I washed the dishes. His laugh making my heart warmer and warmer. When we finally calmed down the teasing with some childish sticking our tongues out at each other.

Nishinoya's p.o.v.

When she focused on the dishes once more, I just stared at her. She was still smiling. I was still smiling. I couldn't help but reach out and poke her cheeks. She puffed her cheeks which made me grin at her. Then she focused again...

Not a second later I tucked in her stray hair. She looked at me as if questioning what I was doing, I simply smiled and widened my eyes as if saying "what?" she shook her head.

I reached in attempting to hug her again, but before I could hug her...

"(F/n)-chaaaan~ I'm home!!" I heard her father come in, I immediately retreated to the dining table chair. I heard (f/n) laugh at how I rushed, but I had no time for a comeback.

He came in the dining room and saw me. "Ohhh, you have a friend over?"

"Yeeeeesss!" She yelled from the kitchen.

"How have you been, Nishinoya? Right?" He sat down across from me and I smiled and nodded.

"Yup! I've been doing good. You're daughter takes good care of us in the team!" He smiled widely at the mention of his daughter.

"Is that soooo? Did she have fun during the practice thing?" He asked really intrigued by how his daughter is doing.

"Uhh, I guess." I laughed. "Well I haven't been around her much then, because we were practicing. Our other manager was with her a lot though!"

Normal p.o.v.

I walked in the dining room to see two of the most important people in my life getting along and smiling as they told stories. It seemed as though my family was finally becoming whole.

I took out my phone, despite the screen being broken, then I took a photo. The both of them looked at me after the click noise my phone made and I just smiled. They both smiled at me.

I sat down beside my father and called him out.

"Yeah?" He replied.
"Me and Nishinoya are dating." He smiled awkwardly then shifted his look to Noya slowly. Still smiling awkwardly.

I looked at Noya and he was smiling like an idiot waiting for my father's opinion. He slowly lifted his finger to point at Noya. We were both smiling waiting for his words.

"H-him?" We both nodded.
"This shorty?" Nishinoya was shocked and his smile shattered into a soulless look.
I laughed and smacked my father's shoulder.

"Why not that third year? The guy with silver hair?"
"That's mean, old man!!!" Nishinoya yelled and stood up to point at him, he was still pouting from the remark.

Suddenly my father laughed. "I'm just kidding!" Nishinoya sat down begrudgingly and crossed his arms. I laughed at him.

"You better watch over my daughter then!" My father leaned in and patted Noya's shoulder. Noya finally smiled and gave him a thumb's up. "Of course, old man!"

"But don't call me old man." My father then glared, his grip on Noya tightening. Sweat was visible on the smiling Noya.

"Also you better treat her right, kid." They were both smiling but my father was scary and Noya was scared af. Nonetheless, he still nodded frantically at my father's remark.
