The grass was ripped from the earth, your feet quickly slipping around someone else's. Your teammate claimed as you tried to steal the black and white ball was from their grip. You kicked the ball, sending it just out of their reach. You fell to the grassy playing field and slid on your back. You sprung up as quickly as you could, darting for the ball to send it flying into the proper goal. You brushed off your shoulders, grass stains no doubt covering the back of the practice uniform. You grinned in triumph.


Nishinoya noticed his best friend had lagged behind. What had caught his interest? The small boy skipped over to where Asahi stood, looking out onto the field in front of him. Asahi had a strange expression on his face; his eyebrows were rais and his mouth hung agape just slightly.


"What are you doing?" Nishinoya asked, startling his best friend.


"N-Nothing," Asahi shook his head. "I just got distracted." Nishinoya looked skeptically at his best friend, then at whatever he was looking at. It was Karasuno's soccer team! The boys passed them most days when they walked home, but this was the first time they had caught the tail end of their practice. But Asahi wasn't just watching the team practice, he was watching you practice. Nishinoya wasn't the most brilliant young man, but he could tell when someone had caught his best friend's eye.


"Hey, (Y/n)!" Nishinoya suddenly shouted, waving his hands in the air to get your attention. You smile and quickly ran over to meet him on the edge of the field. When Asahi realized you were coming his way, he began to panic. It was one thing to watch you from a distance, it was another entirely to actually talk to you.


"Hey, Nishinoya," You greeted, placing your hands on your hips. "What's up?" Asahi felt his body tense as you got near. His face felt warm as you and Nishinoya talked briefly. You were so much better looking up close, Asahi felt like he was going to pass out.


"Oh! (Y/n), this is Asahi!" Nishinoya said, gesturing to his much taller friend. You smiled at the young man.


"Nishinoya's told me a lot about you," You told him. "Don't worry, all good things! It's nice to meet you."


"N-Nice to meet you too," Asahi choked out, trying his absolute best to appear less nervous than he really was.


"Asahi was just watching you guys play!" Nishinoya elbowed him in the ribs. Asahi flinched, nodding his head.


"I-I don't know very much about soccer," Asahi admitted sheepishly, "but I, uh, I think you play really well." You chuckled, thanking him for the compliment. You thought Asahi was cute, like a big burly teddy bear. From what Nishinoya had said, you imagined Asahi to be very different. You were glad you were wrong, though. This version of Asahi was just wonderful.


"You guys should totally hang out some time!" Nishinoya exclaimed, grabbing both your and Asahi's arms. He got so excited by his own idea, he was practically jumping up and down. His eagerness made you laugh.


"That sounds great, I'd love to," You told Asahi with a big smile, looking up to see his shy face.Β 


"Perfect! Asahi's free Sunday afternoon!" Nishinoya chirped. "He'll text you later!"


"I'll be looking forward to it," You stated. You gave Asahi a sly smirk and waved goodbye before turning to leave.


"Bye!" Nishinoya called, before smacking Asahi again.


"B-Bye, (Y/n)!" He stuttered. Both boys watched as you returned to your team. Asahi covered his face in his hands as soon as you were out of his line of sight. That was beyond embarrassing. He hardly had the nerve to say a thing. Nishinoya grinned.


"You're welcome, bro."
