Suga had just finished putting the last of the equipment away when he heard loud footsteps running towards him, when he turned around he saw nishinoya furiously running towards him.
'SUGAAAAAAAAA' he shouted before leaping into the air and landing dramatically in front of suga.
'Did you need something noya?' He asked the libero with a sigh.
Nova took a deep breath before looking at suga determinately at suga.
'How would you know if you happened to have a deadly disease?' Noya said with utmost seriousness.
Suga stared at him, mouth agape trying to figure out how to respond. Before Suga could respond, Nishinoya smiled, 'don't freak out! I'm just asking for a friend!' He said, like he was trying to reassure his upperclassman.
'...Nishinoya, I think I'm gonna need some context for the rest of this conversation' suga sighed exasperated
'Oh ye right!' Noya clapped his hands together 'Well um lately i've- tanaka has been feeling a bit weird and doesn't know what to do?'
Suga closed his eyes and sighed, again, trying to collect himself and figure out what to do with his oblivious underclassman.
'So you- sorry tanaka has been feeling weird lately? That's strange he hasn't been acting any different in practice' suga had to stop the small smirk that threatened to take over his face when a small look of panic crossed noyas face at sugas 'slip up'
'Um yes well everytime i-he looks at a certain person um well he gets really nervous and gets like butterflies?' Noya stuttered out nervously,playing with his hands
Now, noya was well aware that suga probably already knew that he wasn't talking about tanaka, but he felt much too embarrassed to admit that he was so confused.
'Nishinoya, I...well' suga couldn't help himself as he let out a small chuckle 'I think you might have a crush on someone'
Suga watched as Noya froze, completely still trying to process what suga had just said, it didn't look like the poor libero was making much progress it honestly looked like all that thinking was starting to hurt his head.
'Don't worry it's not bad! Well I didn't actually think the whole kiyoko thing was really a crush anyways… buy um who is it?' Suga instantly regretted asking when noya started short circuiting, stuttering like crazy
'Wa- i- huh- what?' Noya looked very confused, also absolutely terrified he looked like suga had just told him that a serial killer was after him
The setter realised that noya might not have actually put the clues together and that suga might have just ripped a very, very delicate bandaid off.
'No, i-i can't… I can't like..' noya trailed off, his face slowly contorting into a pained look.
'Who can't you like?' Suga was getting a bit worried for the second year, he was usually so confidant in himself, having no issue expressing himself and his emotions.
'I-i have to go, bye suga!' Noya exclaimed hurriedly before dashing off.
