Yu Nishinoya x Male! Reader
(And a few other ships)
Nishinoya managed to squeeze his way through the rush of people getting off the train and rushing onto it. He only quickly managed to get away from the closing doors as he left the train. He sighed a breath of relief and started walking to the escalators. He checked his phone to once again mentally confirm the address he needed.
He was meeting up with his whole high school volleyball team again in Miyagi. Daichi and Suga, who got together a few years after high school, still lived in Miyagi and invited everyone over for lunch at their house.
"Everyone is probably moved on to these amazing things. I wonder how they all made it here." Noya thought as he began nearing the address. There was a lot more cars parked infront of this house than others around it. So he hoped he was in the right place.
He faintly heard the sound of a car beginning to drive slower up to the house, "Hey Noya!"
Noya jumped slightly at the yell, but turned around to see Tanaka frantically getting out of the car that he just messily parked infront of Daichi's house.
"Tanaka, its been a long time!" Noya greeted.
"Ryu! Actually park the car sometimes!" Ennoshita got out the car.
"Sorry, Enno." Tanaka apologized.
"Hey Nishinoya. We haven't seen eachother since highschool!" Ennoshita smiled towards Noya.
"Yeah. I see some things have changed since high school." Noya winked at Tanaka.
"Well- uh-y'know-" Tanaka began stuttering nervously and blushing more and more.
"We've only just started dating a few months ago. Ryu is still nervous to talk about it." Ennoshita said, wrapping an arm around Tanaka.
"Well, I'm glad you two are happy. Lets go inside, I'm super hungry!" Noya changed the subject and walked towards the front door.
He rang the doorbell, and Suga quickly answered the door, "Noya, Tanaka, Ennoshita, I'm so glad you three are here! Go ahead and go to the living room, we're just sorting some stuff out with the food for a second!"
"I can help out if you need anything?" Enno asked.
"That would help a lot actually!" Suga said, and led Ennoshita off to the kitchen. Tanaka and Noya took off their shoes and went off towarde where all the talking was in the living room.
Practically all the guys wete there, talking to eachother.
"Noya, Tanaka, you're here!" Daichi greeted, giving them both a quick hug.
Others also said their greetings as the two entered the room and then everyone left to their own conversations. Noya went over to talk with Asahi. Yamaguchi and Tsukishima were also there.

"Asahi! How's everything going with your new house?" Noya asked.
He had seen Asahi only a few weeks ago when he and you were helping Asahi find a new place to live. His previous girlfriend broke up with him and he didn't have a place to live for a bit.
"Its been fine. Theres been a few things I needed to fix up, but it only took me a few days." Asahi explained.
"If there was issues you could've just called us!" Noya exclaimed.
"It would have really been (Y/N) helping, and you two have already done enough with paying for my place." Asahi shook his head.
"Who's (Y/N)?" Tsukishima spoke up.
"O-oh my boyfriend." Noya quickly answered.
"That explains the jacket- and those shoes." Tsukishima added.
"He hasn't changed at all." Noya thought.
"Tsukki, be nice." Yamaguchi elbowed the other.
"Whats wrong with my outfit? Are jealous of how great I look?" Noya asked, jokingly strinking a pose.
He didn't think he had anything special on. The jacket he had on was pretty big on him, but youe jackets were always super warm.
"That jacket clearly isn't yours and those shoes are like- 100,000 yen?" Tsukishima pointed out.
"Well- yeah. (Y/N) never tells me the price of these things." Noya mumbled the last part.
Tsukishima was about to say something else, when Suga told everyone that lunch was ready. The large group of guys walked to the dining room. The dining table was long and filled with amazing looking food.
"This looks amazing Suga-san!" Hinata exclaimed, sitting at a chair. Kageyama nodded in agreement and sat beside Hinata.
Everyone settled into a seat and began gathering food onto their plates, dishes were pased around the table, and Suga poured everyone a glass of some type of alcohol.
"Before we start- we want to thank everyone for coming here. Its been awhile since we've all seen eachother together, and I hope everyone enjoys their meal." Daichi announced.
"Itadakimasu!" Everyone said and began eating.
"So, what has everyone been doing since highschool?" Noya decided to ask.
"I've had to do so much work! I hate it!" Hinata whined.
"Tsukki and I went to France a few months ago! It was so much fun." Yamaguchi said. Tsukishima only nodded.
"Oh, for your honeymoon, right?" Suga asked.
"You two are married!" A few people exclaimed including Noya.
Both Tsukishima and Yamaguchi blushed. "W-We weren't planning on telling every one else y-yet." Yamaguchi said.
"Sorry, I thought you told everyone!" Suga apologized.
"Its fine. I guess everyone knows now." Tsukishima continued eating. He seemed indifferent about the information being told to everyone.
"Congratulations!" Yachi started clapping, everyone else at the table joined in. It clearly made Yamaguchi even more embarassed.

"What about you Nishinoya? You have a boyfriend right?" Tsukkishima decided to change the subject of embarassment.
"You too Noya!?" Hinata once again had a very surprised look on. Its like he never thought everyone would grow up.
"Y-yeah." Noya nervously said, taking a few bites of food.
"Does he play volleyball?" Hinata asked.
"Grow up, dumbass." Kageyama hit his head.
"You first." Hinata glared at the other.
"Uh- he sort of knows how to play. We practice together sometimes." Noya decided to answer.
"Thats so cool! I wish I had someone to play with!" Hinata looked ecstatic.
"We don't play that often, we have to drive a bit to this one park that has a net." Noya said.
"I thought you still lived near here, Noya? I hope you didn't have to drive to far to get here." Daichi asked.
"No, I live with (Y/N), my boyfriend, in Tokyo. I just took the subway to get here." He replied.
"D-do you live in the city, Nishinoya?" Yachi asked.
"Yeah, its (Y/N)'s place. Why is everyone asking me questions! What about Tanaka and Ennoshita, they're dating!" Then all the attention went towards them.
Noya had a fun time catching up with his friends that evening. He got there at noon and now it was 6pm. It had been awhile since he checked his phone. He didn't want to be rude and look at his phone while they were eating in talking, but he realized what a mistake that was when he saw all the missed texts from you.
Yu I told you to take the car
Did you get thre alright?
That was sent a few hours ago, probably when you got back from work.
Tell me when ur coming back
Sry im beung such a mom
U said you were coming back at 4
Is everything alright
Sry im coming home now
i didnt wan to have my phone out. While we were talking
"Hey Noya, do you need a ride home?" Tanaka asked as everyone was saying their goodbyes and leaving.
"No, I wouldn't want you guys to have to drive all the way to Tokyo. It would take you hours to get there and back!" Noya shook his head.
"It would probably take you longer to get back than if we drove you. You have to walk to the subway from here and then back to your house." Ennoshita looked worried.
"I'm fine. My house isn't too far from thd subway and its only about a 20 minute walk from here." Noya insisted. It was a bit of a lie, but he didn't want them to go out of their way for him
"Thats still a long way to go. Are you sure you don't want a ride?" Ennoshita asked.
"Its okay. Thanks for the offer though. Lets hang out again sometime!" Noya waved.
"Bye Noya!" Tanaka waved happily, with Ennoshita politely waving beside him.
"Bye Nishinoya!" Hinata yelled loudly.
Noya waved back with a smile. He put his headphones back in as he started his walk towards the subway. He was walking for a few minutes, then a car began slowing down beside him. He just ignored it and kept walking, but it soon pulled into his line of sight.
"(Y/N)!? What are you doing here!" Noya said. The window rolled down for him to see it was infact you.
"Picking you up. It'll take you hours to get home." You said.
"But, didn't you just work all day? Aren't you tired?" Noya asked.
"Just get in the car, lion. I did not drive all this way for you to take the subway." You sighed.
Noya blushed at the nickname and quickly got into the passenger seat. You leaned over and kissed him on the lips. It lasted a little bit until you pulled away to Noya's disappointment.
"How was lunch?" You asked as you began driving back towards highway.
"Good, we got to catch up on a lot of things. Mostly people's new partners." Noya said, looking out the window at the stars.
"Oh, I thought I felt that someone was talking about me." You teased.
"Shut up." Noya pouted.
"You know you love it." You smirked.
The two of you were pretty silent for mostly the rest of the ride, the only noise was the gentle sounds of music from the car radio. It lulled Nishinoya to sleep, with his head rested against the seatbelt.
Bonus:
"Mmm- what time is it?" Yu groaned.
Last he remembered, he was in you car. Now, he was in a bed in a pitch black room with only his shirt and boxers on.
"Did I get kidnapped!" He exclaimed.
There was a groan from beside him. He reached towards his bedroom lamp, which illuminated the room. It was his room, well your's and Noya's room. You were laying down beside him. You flinched at the sudden light but kept your eyes closed.
"Go back to bed Noya, its just me." You sleepily said, wrapping your arms around his waist.
He turned off the light then layed back down. He faced you and rested his head on your bare chest.
"Sorry (Y/N), goodnight." He kissed your collarbone.
You pulled him a bit closer and mumbled, "G'night."

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
