Friday afternoon was nice. It wasn't cold or hot and the reddish tone of the sky hid the colour of Asahi's cheeks. The young man couldn't believe how lucky he was about his relationship with Nishinoya. Although his friend (and secret boyfriend) still felt uneasy with love demonstrations' and turned to look beautiful girls in the street, he was more that committed with his senpai.
I was sure he was going to send me to the Noth Pole with a kick, he thought. His boundless energy and lack of tact was still scary, but he felt that things would go well.
"Hey, Nishinoya... It seems tomorrow will be a sunny day, would you like us to go somewhere?" he asked. The libero started jumping around Asahi and exclaimed:
"Of course! Let's do a lot of things! What if we go to the park, the cinema and eat ice cream? We also could play volleyball -I'll bring a ball! - and eat hamburgers for lunch, and..."
"I-If time allows it, we can do all that ..." Asahi answered with a funny expression on his face. He was already sweating cold, would it have been a good idea? Their first date was taking some Gari Gari Kun ice creams in coach Ukai's minimarket. It wasn't glamorous or romantic, but it seemed a good way to start. However, all this...
"Are you OK if we meet at 9.30 in the morning, Asahi-san?"
"So early? Let's meet at 10.30..."
"But we'll have one hour less to be together!" the vigorous boy protested.
"I need to sleep a lot, if not, I'll be tired all day", the giant apologized. With a snort, Nishinoya accepted.
"OK, but is at 10.30 exactly!"
They were approaching the intersection where their paths separated. Yuu raised their hands to say goodbye to Asahi, and got surprised when his friend bent down and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"A-Asahi-san?"
Karasuno's ace seemed like waking from a trance and, almost stammering, explained:
"Don't worry, I looked everywhere and nobody was around. See you here tomorrow!"
"I didn't mean..." Nishinoya managed to say, but his friend was gone.
He turned and walked home, smiling.
Saturday's sky was bright, sunny and full of joyful promises. Azumane was waiting to Nishinoya in the intersection for some minutes (Yeah, sure, 10.30 exactly, he laughed to himself) and felt happy and anxious at the same time. Like a high school girl. That thought
That thought made him frown just when Yuu arrived, running with a bag in his back.
"I'm sorry for my delay, Asahi-san! I fell asleep because..." When he saw his friend's face, his expression saddened.
"Are you angry with me...?"
"No! Of course not. I was thinking about another thing when you arrived. But it has nothing to do with you", the older one apologized, with his habitual nervousness.
"I'm glad! What do you want to do first, Asahi-san?"
"Eh... We can see which movies are showing in the theatre and, if we have to wait, we can eat some ice cream..."
"Excellent plan! Let's go!"
They walked along through the city streets, chatting and laughing. People stared at them a lot, because they had never seen such an odd pairing: what was an intimidating man doing with a hyperactive kid? In any case, when pedestrians looked away from them, they smiled. Maybe they also thought that those two looked cute together.
When the couple got to the theatre, they found out that there were: an action film, a horror film and lots of romantic comedies. There's nothing I like, Asahi thought, disappointed. He glanced at his partner, whose eyes were sparkling in front of the action movie poster. Karasuno's ace recalled something Tanaka said some time ago, when they were trying to guess why Noya-san didn't attract any girls. Maybe he's the kind of guy who just watches action movies and shouts every time he sees an explosion, the bald player had said.
"Asahi-san, can we watch this one? It starts within 10 minutes and it has giant robots", Yuu begged, fidgeting. His companion couldn't refuse and they bought the tickets. Intuition told Asahi that that wasn't a good idea...
And it was right. Every time something was shocking, Nishinoya screamed. 'UWOOOOO!', 'SUGOOOOI!' and many other variants crossed the theatre hall from side to side. Azumane tried to shrink as much as possible, because he felt that his body covered a person who was a few rows back (but hadn't said anything). However, his friend didn't behave.
"Nishinoya, please, keep your voice down. People will get mad at us... ", the older one whispered.
"But this is great! GREAT!" Yuu exclaimed.
The worst thing happened during the movie climax, when the good robot awakened and destroyed most of the evil monsters under a rain of fire, blood and other elements.
"EXCELLENT, WOOHOO!" Thrilled, Yuu jumped and kicked the seat in front. His occupant -a man with his face contorted with anger- turned and faced Asahi.
"You know, I've endured this for a while, but I can't take it anymore. Can you do something to calm your child for once?!
Nishinoya sat, half stunned. Azumane paled, muttered an apology, grabbed his friend's arm and left the room quickly. Far away, viewers could hear the boy's voice that irritated them: Let me go, Asahi-san, I'll put in place that idiot! Then they sighed in relief.
"Nishinoya, you shouldn't behave like that in a movie theatre! Have you ever been to one?" the long haired young exclaimed when they left the place. He was more upset than usual, but the other didn't seem to notice and said that he wouldn't move from there until he saw the insolent guy and give him a lesson. Asahi managed to convince Nishinoya to go elsewhere only when he mentioned the ice creams they were going to miss.
"In that case, I'll go with you and forgive that idiot. But I'm doing it only for you, ok?" the libero grumbled.
"Thanks, Noya-san. I appreciate your gesture". That encouraged the explosive boy, who seemed to forget the bad time.
They went to a small gelateria, whose ice creams were so good that Yuu forgot for a second the soda Gari Gari Kuns. Things were going smooth again for both guys and the shop attention was nice, but time passed quickly and there were more things to do.
"What if we go to the park for a while? We could walk, sit in a bench and admire the view..."
"And we can fish in the pond!"
"Huh? What pond, Noya-san? And how are we going to fish? We don't have..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Nishinoya was pulling two small handmade fishing rods out of his backpack. Asahi remembered what Sugawara-san said: It seems that he could take you fishing for a date. Or something like that. His intuition told him again that there would be trouble.
"You know what? We'd better not go fishing... We could get in trouble and..."
"Relax, ace, I know a secret and excellent location! Very few people know how to get to it. Come on!"
Frightened, the tall boy followed his companion, after paying the bill. They went to a beautiful and huge park in the town's center. Nishinoya pushed through an intricate path, hidden in the trees and shrubs. This doesn't look good and I don't know why, Asahi thought. But he was already there. He was going to let happen what was meant to happen.
