A/N I honestly didnt think people would like this fic as much as they did! I'm so happy to see everyone's comments. So as a little thank you, there will be two chapters posted. One today and one tomorrow! Enjoy!
"You know, I heard prostitutes can never get married."
"Really? What is it like illegal or something?"
"Yeah... because they're sex workers."
"That's so sad... they deserve it though."
Nishinoya sat on the train and looked down at his lap. He overheard the conversation of the two high school girls next to him. They were probably right, since the things he did were seen as bad and dirty to others. Noya agreed with them.
"How do you know?" The one girl asked her friend, wanting to know more.
"Apparently my mom's friend tried to marry a prostitute. They had to leave the country." The other girl responded.
Nishinoya looked at his phone aimlessly and sighed. He knew that he was going to be alone forever because of the work he did. Noya accepted this a long time ago.
Soon, the train arrived at Noya's stop and he stepped off the train. He was glad to be away from the girls gossiping.
He then looked around and smiled. He was back at his home town.
Once a month, he would come back to where he used to live so he could visit his good friend, Tanaka Ryuu. They were meeting up at a local coffee shop before spending the day together.
Noya walked from the train station and went to the coffee shop. It was a simple place for coffee that was always busy. When Noya and Tanaka were in high school, they would stop there every morning together. Even though Noya visited once a month, it had been a while since Noya had stopped there, but everything looked the same as always. He then went to a table by the windows and sat down, waiting for Tanaka to arrive. He picked up a menu and read it over.
"Are you ready to order?" A waiter asked that came up to Noya.
"Not yet... I'm-" Noya started, but stopped as he looked up from the menu. His eyes widened as he looked at his very familiar waiter. It was Asahi. Asahi looked at Noya and tilted his head.
"I-I'm waiting for someone." Noya choked out as a response.
Asahi nodded and kept looking at Noya. Noya felt the others stare and quickly looked down, burying his face in the menu.
"Do I... know you?" Asahi asked, but Noya quickly shook his head in response.
"I don't think so, never seen you!" Noya told Asahi and laughed loudly.
"But... I swear I've seen you before. I mean, I'm sure I would recognize you. Your hair, it's very unique... But, it's your face that seems familiar." Asahi said and shrugged. Noya kept his face in the menu and shook his head again. "Nope... don't remember you." He answered simply. He just wanted Asahi to leave.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you. I'll be back when the other person joins you." He said and smiled. He then walked away as Noya stayed in shock at the table, finally drawing down his menu.
Nishinoya couldn't believe he saw Asahi again. He never thought he would see him ever again after that night. Noya sighed and quickly took out his phone. He needed Tanaka to get there quickly.
"Ryuu, I'm at the coffee shop. Get here." Noya texted to him. He looked out the window, hoping he would see the other walking up to the door.
Tanaka was the only friend of Noya's that Noya trusted to tell about his "job". Noya knew he could consult Tanaka about this, but he needed him to help right away.
After a few minutes, he finally got a text back. Noya jumped a little and read his message.
"Sorry Noya, might be a little while." Tanaka's text read. "I just woke up. But you can order something to drink without me."
Noya sighed and texted back quickly. "You better get her as fast as possible. I'm having a problem." He wrote and put down his phone. He was afraid if he was there any longer, Asahi might really recognize him.
"I'll be there soon, just calm down." Tanaka wrote back.
Nishinoya looked down and sighed a longer sigh. He couldn't believe the situation he was in. Usually, he didn't meet any "customers" outside of work. Especially not from his home town.
Noya kept looking out the window, anxiously waiting for the other.
Later, Asahi came back over to Noya. "I don't mean to bother you again but, was there anything you wanted to order while you wait?" He asked and Noya looked up. Noya didn't want to be rude, but he tried avoiding eye contact with Asahi as he spoke to him.
"Um... just a few more minutes... I know my friend will be here soon." Noya said and laughed awkwardly. Inside, he wanted to kill Tanaka for being late.
"That's fine, but then I'm going to switch you over to my friend who will serve you." Asahi said and pointed out another server there. "We're changing shifts, so I'll be leaving soon." He explained.
Noya nodded and smiled a little as Asahi walked away. It couldn't have been any better. Now he wouldn't have to worry about when Tanaka got there, because Asahi would be leaving.
Noya now sat calmly, still waiting for Tanaka. He watched Asahi, seeing him go to the back of the coffee shop. He must have been leaving then. When he saw Asahi again, the other was in a coat. Noya smiled, relieved, and stopped watching Asahi. He looked down at the menu and finally read it for real this time.
"Excuse me? Can I join you?" A way too familiar voice asked. Noya looked up and almost screamed. Asahi was now standing in front of the table.
"W-Why?" Noya asked, terrified. Things couldn't have been worse.
"Because... you've been alone for almost an hour. If you would like, I can keep you company until your friend shows up?" Asahi suggested.
Noya gulped a little. He felt very conflicted. He knew it would be bad to sit with Asahi, the other would probably figure him out, but Noya felt touched. Asahi was being really sweet and caring. He noticed Noya was alone and wanted to take his time to sit with him. Asahi didn't have to, he wanted to.
Noya looked at Asahi and nodded slowly. "Sure... I would love to have company." He said and gestured for the other to join him. Asahi nodded and sat with Noya.
"Are you sure you don't have any where to go?" Noya asked as he looked at Asahi. He tried to calm himself down. He might as well enjoy his time with Asahi. He did find the other very handsome. But, after this Noya definitely would not see Asahi again, him and Tanaka would have to find another place to meet up.
Asahi shook his head. "I was just going to head home." He told Noya. He kept looking over the other. He then smiled and clapped his hands. "Oh, I finally realize it now!" He told Noya.
"Realize? Realize what?" Noya asked quickly.
"I guess I don't know you, but you do look a lot like someone I met the other day." Asahi explained to Noya. "This person... really helped me." He told Noya. "I wish I could see him again, but that definitely won't happen..." he said.
Noya frowned a little as he heard Asahi. "Why can't you?" He asked him.
Asahi bit his lip a little and shook his head. "Well... lets just say we are very different." He told Noya. "It's funny though, that you look just like him." He pointed out. "Except he had blond hair and... wore different clothes." He explained.
Noya laughed sheepishly and nodded. "Yeah... that's weird." He said to him. He then sighed. He just wanted to expose himself right there. He liked Asahi and even though he didn't deserve him, he at least wanted to explain himself.
"Well... anyways, enough about that." Asahi said and shrugged. "What is your name? I never asked." He said to him.
"Oh... I'm Nishinoya. You can call me Noya though." Noya explained and smiled.
"Okay, Noya." Asahi said and smiled back. "I'm Asahi." He told him.
"Yeah... I know." Noya said and sighed. He was going to tell Asahi. He had to. He couldn't keep this a secret.
"You know?" Asahi asked confused.
"Yes I know... because you told me. I-" Noya went to explain, but was cut off by knocking on the window. He looked over and saw Tanaka knocking on the glass.
"Ryuu?" Noya exclaimed. Tanaka smiled and waved. He then went to go into the coffee shop.
"Oh is that your friend?" Asahi asked and Noya nodded. "Then... I guess I'll get going." He said, standing up as Tanaka came over.
"Noya! I missed you!" Tanaka yelled out and ran over. Noya laughed as he watched his friend. "Ryuu! I missed you too!" He said and went up to him, tackling him. They both fell to the ground and laughed at it. Asahi watched them and laughed a little with them.
"Hey Noya, who's this?" Tanaka asked as he stood up with him.
"Oh, this is Asahi. He works here." Noya explained.
Asahi nodded and introduced himself. "I'll be going now though, since you're here." He said and stood up from the table. "Thank you for letting me sit with you, Noya." He added and smiled.
Noya nodded and smiled back softly. He the bit his lip,l. Asahi stood up, getting his coat on to leave. It worried Noya. He knew he shouldn't, but he never explained himself to Asahi. He wanted to tell him the truth, but if Asahi left now, he never would get to.
"Wait Asahi..." Nota said, stopping him. He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down his contact. "Message me... maybe we can go out tomorrow night?" He asked him shyly. "I want to tell you something... so maybe just one date?" he asked and smiled a little.
Asahi smiled back and nodded. "Sure. I would love to." He told Noya. He then held the paper gently and left Noya and Tanaka to themselves.
"You know him?" Tanaka asked and looked at Noya.
Noya nodded back in response and sighed. "Yeah... he was my... customer."
