The very next day, after spending a nearly endless night, Nishinoya woke up and went to the kitchen to drink water. He needed to calm down and convince himself that the kiss last night was just a simple kiss because they are a couple and it's normal.

I'm a man. She's a woman. It's not a big deal!

Before he could open the fridge, he saw a note written by his grandfather. He took it and read:

'Yuu, I leave the house to you. Please don't do anything funny to Aoi-chan or I'll tell her parents.'

Nishinoya stared hard at the piece of paper. Gramps probably went to a woman's place again. Then he narrowed his eyes at the last part. And why would I do anything funny to her?

"Yuu-kun?"

He turned to see Aoi trudging downstairs, her hair sticking out of places while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Nishinoya found her cute wearing his spare shirt with her polka dot patterned pajamas.

"Where's ojii-san?" she asked, looking around.

"He went out. Looks like there's only the two of us."

At the mention of the last part, Aoi instantly blushed with steam coming out of her ears. She was panicking already while trying to hide her red face from a worried Nishinoya.

Y-Y-Yuu-kun and I... all alone... in his house! I-I-It's not like it would happen, r-right?

"Manju, what's wrong?" Nishinoya asked, examining her red face which made her shriek in surprise.

"I-I-It's nothing!" She didn't mean to jump at his stare but she did and Nishinoya didn't seem to notice her distress which was a relief in itself.

He then opened the fridge and took out a small container. "Since we woke up late, guess we'll just stick to last night's curry," he said, flashing her a grin then his stomach grumbled.

"Yuu-kun, that curry can only fill up one person," Aoi pointed out worrily then offered, "I can cook while you eat."

"It's fine. We can just-" Then his stomach grumbled again and he looked away blushing. "Are you sure, Manju?"

Aoi nodded and Nishinoya just sat on the chair with a defeated sigh. She took out the pan and started heating up the leftover curry while making omurice for the two of them. Knowing Nishinoya meant that being fully aware of his big stomach when it comes to food, though he still carry his habit of leaving onions out while making a disgusted face.

When Nishinoya heard a giggle come out of her lips, he narrowed his eyes. What's so funny?

"Manju, what're you laughing at?" he asked, coming up behind her.

"Nothing~" Aoi only giggled and Nishinoya got only annoyed that teasing her back was the only thing in his mind.

Suddenly, he hugged her waist and pulled her closer to his chest, his mouth near her ear and Aoi found it hard to focus on her cooking with his breath tickling her skin.

"Oi, Manju." His voice was deep and masculine. "What's so funny?"

Aoi tried to fight the heat rushing up to her face. "I told you, i-it's nothing."

Nishinoya only smirked, placing his head on her shoulders while watching her hands try to focus on the food not getting burnt but failing.

"So..."

He placed a hand on her cheek then turned her face to him. She gulped as he inched his face closer.

Is Yuu-kun going to kiss me?

And when she looked at his eyes, they were a deep hazel and she was sure that she'll pass out if she stared too much.

She shut her eyes closed. Well, it's not like this is not normal. Yuu-kun is a man, after all. We also did it last night so it should be fine, right?

But what she anticipated as a kiss was only a low laugh and a pinch on her cheek. Aoi opened her eyes and saw Nishinoya teasingly grinning at her. "Stop laughing if there's nothing funny then."

Nishinoya went back to his chair like a child who won his trophy after that and Aoi could only grip the spatula in frustration. That Yuu-kun! I thought he was going to kiss me!

BONUS:

The two are now situated in the living room where they both watch an action film on TV. Though Nishinoya cheers and shouts at every action scenes, he also glances every now and then at Aoi who seemed so fixated on the TV screen whenever commercials are coming up.

What commercial is she watching anyway?

And when he saw a couple staring intently at each other with their faces slowly inching closer, he looked back at Aoi and saw her fidget a little. When he returned his attention back on the screen, the couple were already kissing so intensely then the toothpaste brand came up and Aoi was back on being her calm self.

Does she want the toothpaste from that commercial? he thought so he changed channels and the said commercial was airing again.

Nishinoya observed her closely and from the way her eyes were so glossy and how she was lightly licking her lips, that's when it slowly hit him.

She doesn't want the toothpaste, dumbass. She wants a kiss, a voice in his mind said.

He frowned slightly. She could've asked for one if she really wanted one.

And when the commercial ended, a news program came up and Aoi was again her usual self. He was just watching her watch with her disinterested eyes.

Just go kiss her already, the voice in his mind says.

So he scooted closer and called her attention. "Aoi."

"Hm?" She looked at him and saw his stern face getting closer like this morning. "Yuu-kun?"

When she felt his forehead touching hers and their noses almost bumping, his eyes were slowly starting to close and she only knew one thing: he's gonna kiss her for real!

So she also closed her eyes, his breath already intoxicating. Her hands slowly went up to his face to feel his skin then-

"OI NOYA! WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING THE DOOR? GOOD THING THERE'S A KEY UNDER THE MAT!" Tanaka yelled, sliding open the door only to find Nishinoya with an unreadable expression on his face while Aoi was covering her red cheeks with her hands.

"Oh, why is Aki-chan here—"

"RYU BASTARD! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" Nishinoya punched him in the face.

Tanaka only glared at him and also punched him. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU TOLD ME LAST NIGHT TO BRING THE ACTION MOVIE YOU'VE BEEN DYING TO WATCH LAST WEEK!"

While the two were busy fighting, Aoi was busy with her thoughts.

Yuu-kun and I never got our second kiss! she cried.
