~Y/N POV~

"ONE MORE KINNOSHITA!" Noya cheered as he stood on the opposite side of the court as our fellow second year.

"O-one second..." he huffed, bending over as he tried too catch his breath.

"Noya you idiot! He's gonna pass out!" I exclaimed, flicking his head as he turned too look at me.

"Whaaat! He's gotta get his heart rate up!" he cheered as I rolled my eyes.

"You jerk," Kinnoshita breathed as he tossed up another jump float.

He'd been serving for about 45 minutes straight while Noya tried too receive them with an overhand pass, which he was slowly getting better at. However, he was still missing about 50% of them, including this most recent one.

"DAMN ITTT!" he whined, kicking himself for missing a simple serve receive.

"Oh jeez," I sighed as he fell too the ground, angrily doing about ten push ups while on his FINGERS?

"Noya! Just take a break!" I exclaimed, running over and sitting on the floor next too him as he scowled.

"I can't! Not till I'm good enough to do overhand receives!" he exclaimed, stubbornly crossing his arms.

"Couldn't you just get them with underhand receives?" I asked, cocking my head.

"Well, yea. But there's so many people that are better then me, so I have to keep trying!" he whined, sitting up and slouching.

"Stop it, you sound like Hinata!" I exclaimed, scurrying away from him.

"Yea but you love me more then Hinata!" he exclaimed, grabbing me and pulling me back towards him as the ginger entered the gym we were in.

"You don't love me?" Hinata asked in a sad tone, forcing his eyes too water.

"Hey! I did not say that!" I exclaimed, pointing my finger at him as Noya pulled me against his chest, wrapping his arms over my shoulders.

"I thought I was your friend!" Hinata wailed as I flicked Noyas head again.

"Look what you've done! You broke Hinata!" I scolded him as Kinnoshita simply watched the event go down.

"LOOK OUT LOVE BIRDS!" Tanaka suddenly called, tossing a ball up and running towards us. I let out a loud yelp as I crawled away from Noya, turning around just in time too see him get up and receive the ball perfectly.

"YU NISHINOYA EVERYONE!" I exclaimed, applauding his skill as he blushed slightly.

"Yea, whatever. Tanaka's jump serves aren't very good yet," he snickered as Tanaka scoffed and placed a hand over his heart.

"Oh! I second that!" I cheered happily from my place on the floor.

"Wow, some friends," he sobbed dramatically.

"Baldy, shut up! I want Noya too receive one of these!" I exclaimed, throwing a spare ball at Tanaka.

Just as the ball hit his back, Kinnoshita tossed up another serve which Noya was able too get up. Despite him touching the ball, it only went a few feet in front of him, and landed far from where the setter would've been.

"Hah, who sucks now?" Tanaka teased as I glared at him, and Noya immediately dove back into his finger push ups.

(quick disclaimer, uh I have very little knowledge of how new years is celebrated in Japan so I did my best with what the show contained and what I found on the internet. I kinda just added my own twist so mb if it ain't accurate😗)

"NOYAAAA!" I exclaimed as I flung the door open too see him standing on my porch, bundled up in his scarf and jacket.

The mother figure had said it was okay for Noya too come over for new years, and that he could stay the night. So naturally we had a full night of binge watching anime's ahead of us.

"Y/N!" he cheered back, picking me up in a hug and carrying me back inside the warmth of the house.

"NOYA! You look like a little marshmallow right now!" I cooed, giving him puppy dog eyes as he burried his face in his scarf.

"I feel like a marshmallow," he huffed, crossing his arms as he slipped his shoes off.

"Now I want marshmallows," I sighed, glancing too my kitchen and running into it as he eagerly followed behind.

"MARSHIESSSS!" I cheered as I climbed on top of the counter, standing up and reaching the top shelf where my mom hid all of the candy.

"Why are they all the way up there?" Noya asked as I squatted down, hopping back onto the ground.

"Because my mom hid all of the candy out of my reach..." I sighed sheepishly as he burst out laughing.

"Apparently not enough out of your reach," the mother of the hour snickered as she wandered into the kitchen, shutting the cupboard as I turned around with my faces stuffed with marshmallows.

"Why are you with her?" my mom asked Noya as he too shoved a bunch of marshmallows into his mouth, and we grinned at each other cheekily.

"Never mind, that answered my question," my mom sighed, grabbing a glass of water and returning too wherever she was in the house.

"Mow foos the marfmallow?" Noya asked, cheeks still puffy from them being stuffed with food.

"You," I snickered, trying too chew the marshmallows as he pulled his phone out and took a picture.

I immediately squished my cheeks down, scrunching my nose and backing away as he admired the photo.

"Cute," he teased, words still muffled as he chewed the last of his marshmallows.

(we're just going to ignore the fact that the picture is addison rae cuz I cannot find another one, kay? kay)

"NOOOO!" I exclaimed, seeing the picture of myself on instagram with marshmallows stuffing my face.

"Whattt, you look good," Noya whined, patting my head like a puppy dog.

"Ah yes, because having food stuffing my cheeks is soooo attractive," I teased sarcastically as he smiled and nodded.

"Yup!" he cheered as I rolled my eyes and jabbed him in the side.

"Owww, what was that for?" he whined as I smiled and pointed too his chest.

"For calling me a marshmallow," I growled, purposely making my voice lower as he looked down on me.

"Woah, you're scary when you're angry," he snickered as I put my hands on my hips and glared him down.

"That's the poin- WAHH!" I gasped as he bent down and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder as he went charging towards the basement.

"Point me down!" I exclaimed as he shook his head and skipped down the stairs.

"Nope! Not until you admit you're the marshmallow!" he snickered, reaching the bottom of the stairs and flicking the lights on with his spare arm.

"Well, looks like Ima be up here a while," I huffed, bringing my torso up and crossing my arms as I looked around the room.

My basement wasn't huge, but it had a large sectional couch shoved in the back corner as well as a TV mounted on the wall. I'd strung an extra string of LED lights on the walls and hung up some random pictures here and there.

It also had a large cabinet filled with blankets, board games, snacks, drinks and lots of other toys and gadgets next too the small bathroom. Not much, but it was a fun hangout spot. Plus the TV had a Nintendo switch.

"C'mon, admit it!" he teased, jumping up and down on the small area rug.

"WhhaaaAaaaaAaaaA," I groaned as he bounced me up and down. "PuuUut meeEee dooOwwn."

"Admit it!" he persisted as I pounded my hands against his back.

"Never!" I declared as he finally stopped jumping, lowering me down slightly so he could see my face.

"Marshmallow," he snickered, diving towards the coach and laying on top of me as I let out a long sigh.

"Noya...air," I gasped, feeling him laugh against my body.

"I already told you, you don't need air!" he exclaimed, lifting his head too look at me.

"No, I've decided I'm actually going to breath carbon dioxide instead," I nodded as he tilted his head.

"How do you know what carbon dioxide is?"

"Oh shut up," I whined, flicking his head as he sat up, rubbing where I'd just flicked him.

"You're mean," he huffed, crossing his arms and looking away.

"It's what I do best," I snickered, leaping forwards and tackling him, trying my best but failing too pin him down.

Instead, he simply shoved my hands off, wrapping his arms around my waist as I sat horizontally on him with my legs dangling off the couch.

"Okay..now I need air," he snickered as I rested my head in my hands and looked around.

"Y'all here sum?" I asked to the few spare stuffed animals placed against the wall, nodding when they didn't respond

"Y/nnnn..."

"Y/NNN..."

"Y/NNNNN!"

"I'll watch given with you if you let me sit up."

"YAYYYY!" I cheered, leaping up and grabbing the TV remote from the cabinet, along with a few blankets.

"You're too easy," he snickered as I scoffed and threw a blanket at his head.

"Shut uppp," I groaned, wrapping my blanket around my head so just my nose and mouth were peaking out as I sat next too him.

"We both know neither of us will shut up," he snickered as I nodded my head back and forth, leaning back so I could see his face from beneath my blanket.

"Yea well why would I be quiet when there's so much too say?" I asked, flicking on the TV as I aggressively threw my body against his.

"I don't think Daichi has that same mindset," he laughed, adjusting himself so that he laid against the corner of the couch with me positioned between his legs as I put the first episode of given on.

"YEAAA BABY!" I sang as the intro started, dancing around as Noya just watched and smiled.

✨✨

"Awwwwww," I cooed, tears welling up in my eyes as Uenoyama and Mafuyu shared their kiss after the concert in Given.

"Are you crying?" Noya snickered, titling my head back as I wiped my eyes.

"O-of course not!" I exclaimed, pulling the hood of the sweater I'd snatched from him up and hiding in it.

"Hah, you didn't even cry when you hurt your foot," he teased, poking at my cheek as I swatted him away.

"Yea, well that didn't hurt that badly!" I exclaimed.

GET PRANKED THAT HURT LIKE A BUTT CHEEK ON A STICK🤺🤺🤺

"Uh huh, so that's why you hid your face in my shirt and cried?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Pssh, I did no such thing!" I declared, crossing my arms and biting into a gummy worm from one of the various snack bags we'd opened.

"You need to work on your lying you know," he snickered as I scoffed and placed a hand on my heart.

"I can't believe you've done dis," I sobbed in a British accent, poking at his face as he scrunched up.

"Believe it!" he shot back, grabbing my hand and intertwining it with his.

I paused what I was doing and looked at him, narrowing my eyes as I searched his.

"Smooth Nishi...smooth," I sighed, nodding my head as he furrowed his brow.

"Did you just call me Nishi?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

Did I? I hadn't even noticed. But it fits better then Noya.

"Oh, I guess I did," I laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I like it," he beamed, squeezing my hand tightly as my cheeks flushed a gentle pink.

"Stoppp, you don't deserve too have this much power over me," I whined as he cocked his head.

"What power?" he asked slyly, leaning close too me.

"Hey! You're just trying to get a kiss from me!"

"Is it working?"

"Maybe. But you're supposed too wait till midnight!"

He eagerly grabbed his phone off the back of the couch, smiling happily as he turned it around for me too see.

11:59. Damn him.

"See! It's not midnight yet!" I teased, crossing my arms as he looked back at the phone.

"It is now!" he exclaimed, flipping the phone around once more too reveal that the time was now 12am.

"You're crazy," I murmured, slowly leaning towards his smiling face.

"Crazy for you," he slipped in, catching me by surprise as he crashed his lips into mine.

I paused for a moment, processing what he'd said before shutting my eyes and leaning into the kiss. Our lips moved together gently as he cupped my face with one hand, keeping the other hand intertwined with mine.

Just as the first time we'd kissed, I got a rush of butterflies in my stomach and I felt my face heat up with nerves. The kiss lasted a fair amount of time before we came up for air, keeping our eyes locked as smiles crept onto each of our faces.

"So you're crazy for me?" I asked after a moment, breaking the silence as he immediately started blushing.

"I might've said something like that," he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck as I leapt forwards and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Uh, w-what-"

"I'm crazy for you too," I mumbled as he slowly relaxed, hugging me back and laying down on the couch.

"Glad to hear it."

I wouldn't let him know, but a single tear of joy slipped from my eye as he held me close, drifting into a quiet slumber. Why was I crying? Pssh, as if I could tell you.

Just something about that moment made me so overjoyed, I didn't care how I reacted. I just laid on top of him, arms wrapped around his neck as we dozed off together.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT LADIES AND GENTS! NISHINOYA AND Y/N HAVE HAD A NEW YEARS KISS. DO A LAP WITH ME🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

N e ways, I've realized I'm nearing the end of the amount of haikyu that's been animated💔

I'm definitely going to do a few chapters before nationals, and a minimum of 5 AT nationals, but that obviously won't take very long.

I don't know when season 5 will be released, so I'm most likely going to do a filler book about Y/N's life before Karasuno, as mentioned previously.

I'll update you all if/when I start that, or if I change my mind and do something else.

But for now, continue to enjoy this book and don't do drugs (without me) KIDDING😃😃...or not😏🤌🏼
