iv. Yū Nishinoya

You yawned as you made your way to school, holding out your phone out of habit. You frowned at the sight of the school gate, you were sure you were walking very slowly but alas, it seemed like the school was closer than you thought it was.

You went to put your phone in the bag, eyes still cursing on the school gate as if the school would cower under your stare and run off. But you realized something was off as you release your grip from your phone, because you didn't hear the gentle sound of tug it usually made.

Your phone was falling.

From that point every movement was in slow motion. You looked down to the direction your phone was falling, and then you immediately regret your life choices.

You watched helplessly being unable to move any ounce of your body out of utter shock and disbelief. That is until a pair of hands came into the line of your vision and effortlessly caught your phone at the last second before it can hit the ground.

With his body on the ground, aftermath of the movement that looked like a 'dive', he grinned lightly at you, "That was close!"

You gawked, amazement bubbling up inside your chest, eyes sparkling as you playback the move on your head over and over again, each time thinking it was cooler than before.

"That was an incredible save, thank you so much!" You bowed your head a bit out of formality, and the rest was out of respect. The spiked haired man staggered up as effortlessly, scratching the back oh his head, and the amusing grin he had didn't leave his side.

"Hehe, here." He let out a proud giggle as he handed your phone, your harmless phone. You normalized your body form and took the phone, "Again thank you so much, ..uhh" Confusion descend on your cluelessness of the boy's name.

"Yū Nishinoya, second year!" He offered a hand which you shake almost immediately.

Wait.
Did he say second year?

"Wh-what, you're a second year? I'm sorry to have trouble you the first thing in the morning!" You bowed again, panic washes over you.

"Hey now raise your head! It's always a senpai's job to help their Kōhai, especially a cute one!" He pointed himself with his thumb, face masked with pride. You swear, you could really get used to that grin.

Sudden realization hit you.

"Cu-cute? I'm nowhere near to fit that description, senpai!" You stated self-deprecatingly, a blush creeped up.

He was conflicted for a moment but beamed again, voice without hesitation, "what are you talking about?! You're wearing Karasuno's uniform, therefore you are cute." He nodded to himself, wearing a satisfied expression as it was something everyone should agree on.

You widened your eyes, not expecting the answer. And then you let out a fit of laughter. In between them you managed, "What kind of preference is that?" His answer really threw you off guard as you let yourself laugh happily for a bit more. Then you went up to look at him.

Surprisingly he had a flustered expression as he stared at you fascinatingly, like a boy that was unnerved after watching a magic show. Noticing the lock of my gaze, he turned his head away and placed a hand to cover his face, which was failing miserably because the pink hue across his cheeks was obvious.

Why is he blushing? you thought.

"Eh senpai, why are you all embarrassed like that?" You leaned closer curiously to inspect his face. He took a step back carefully at your gesture and mumbled quietly, unusually quite but still loud enough for you to hear.

"No fair, that laugh makes you extra cute."

You tensed at the sudden compliment and there you both are standing awkwardly in front of the school gate, both blushing furiously.

No retorts were launched, no questions were asked, and something has definitely developed.
