While the Karasuno volleyball club was busy training in Tokyo, Tanaka Saeko invited Aoi in her humble abode to have their own girls' night because it has been a while since they got a time to catch things up. Plus she heard from her brother that Aoi's been dating Nishinoya for almost two months now.
"So... is Yuu a great kisser?" she asked sneakily, eyes glinting with mischief and curiosity
Aoi's eyes went wide with the heat slowly creeping up her face. "I-I wouldn't say he's not great. It's just that..."
"Just what?"
"Well... we just kissed once."
Now that made everything stop. "WHAT? WHAT IS YUU DOING? WHAT IS HE? A CHICKEN?"
A chicken?
"Er... Saeko-san, it's not like that." Aoi tried to calm her down. "Yuu-kun tried to kiss me again but we were interrupted. Then he got suddenly busy with his volleyball training so..."
Saeko looked suspiscious and that made Aoi nervous.
"B-Besides it was just a quick kiss. His lips were on mine for a minute, that's all!"
"But do you want him to kiss you?"
"W-Well I... o-of course I want to!"
"Then why don't you?"
"I've tried my ways but... he didn't seem to pick up."
Saeko tried not to frown. Oh that Yuu! He's such a simpleton like Shoyo and Tobio.
"What if you two spend alone time together?" she offered. "I have two free tickets for an onsen."
"Is it a mixed bath?"
"It's a separate one," then she added, "unless you want a mixed one. I could fix it for you."
Aoi only blushed even further and Saeko just snickered at her reaction.
"Oh and by the way, I'm calling him right now." Saeko smirked, holding up her phone with Nishinoya's caller ID.
"SAEKO-SAN, NO!"
Back at Tokyo...
The boys were preparing their beds when they suddenly heard Nishinoya's phone ringing.
"Nishinoya," Asahi called. "Someone's calling you."
Faster than the speed of light, Nishinoya answered the call and barked a laugh when he heard the familiar voice.
"Nee-san! It's been a while. Ryu's here. Do you want to talk to him?" he said which in turn made Tanaka look at him with a face that says 'tell her I'm asleep or something'.
"Actually I wanted to talk to you."
Talk to me? Now that's new. "About what, nee-san?"
"You see, Aoi-chan's staying over today and she said that she wanted to spend an alone time with you."
"Saeko-san!" Nishinoya heard Aoi's pleading voice in the background.
"Did I just hear Manju's voice?"
"No. You're just imagining things!" Saeko coughed. "Anyways, as I was saying, Aoi-chan wanted to spend time with you so—"
"Is that so?" Nishinoya asked excitedly. "Then tell Manju that Gramps won't be home after I come back from Tokyo so we could spend some alone time at my place."
The other boys in the room flinched and some choked in their own spit. Did Nishinoya just blatantly announce that they would do it in his place?
"Your grandfather won't be home?"
"Yep. If Manju wants it then we can spend all day playing and sleeping in my room."
It was an innocent statement but the only things that registered in their minds were 'playing' and 'sleeping'.
What kind of play and sleep is he talking about? the third years thought.
"Is that so? But I gave her two free tickets to an onsen so you two could both relax."
"Eh? Onsen?"
Everyone turned their heads to him. Nishinoya was silent for a while before exclaiming, "That would be great! Manju and I are going to spend the whole day at the onsen!"
Nishinoya might not hear it but his other club members were already lamenting. Tanaka was not breathing. Yamaguchi was helping Hinata cover his ears to forget what they just heard. The third years' faces were all in disbelief as they registered one thing.
The two of them... in an onsen... for a whole day...
"Ah, nee-san! Is it a mixed bath?"
M-M-MIXED BATH?
"N-N-Nishinoya!" Daichi interfered. "We should sleep now. We have an early training tomorrow."
"Ah nee-san. I'll just talk to you tomorrow. The captain is calling for me. Bye!"
And when he hang up, Nishinoya noticed the blank expression on his teammates' faces. It was as if they had seen a ghost or something.
"Hey, what happened to all of you?" he asked.
Tsukishima was the first one to respond. "Apparently, they died because you said you're going to fu—"
Yamaguchi covered his mouth in a haste. "TSUKKI!"
"Huh?"
"Don't mind, Nishinoya," Sugawara said. "Everyone, let's all just sleep."
BONUS:
Coach Ukai was bothered by how the team was acting today. Last night, they ate well and slept early. But it was an odd thing to see some of them lifeless with the exception of an energetic Nishinoya who was practicing his receives with another Nekoma member while Tsukishima was... the usual Tsukishima.
"Tsukishima," Ukai called and the middle blocker stopped from practicing to go to him.
"Coach?" Tsukishima asked.
"Did something happen with the others? They all seem out of it," Ukai noticed then added, "except for Nishinoya."
The tall middle blocker just shrugged indifferently. "Last night, Nishinoya-san said he was going to spend an alone time with his girlfriend at an onsen for a whole day," he answered, emphasizing 'alone time' as if there's a whole new meaning on it.
Coach Ukai was speechless. Takeda-sensei (who was beside him) must have heard it that the clipboard he was holding dropped on the floor. Yachi must have heard it too because she passed by near them and made a gagging sound as she started to ramble about her imagination of Nishinoya doing such unspeakable things.
"Well, I personally think Nishinoya-san doesn't mean it like that so I guess they should be fine," Tsukishima stated further but it seemed to be unheard by the three.
"Tsukishima-kun, is there something wrong?" Kiyoko, who suddenly came from the storage room, asked.
"Nothing. Coach just asked something," he answered then went back to practicing.
Coach Ukai and Takeda-sensei watched Nishinoya intensely who seemed so fired up about the training. Relationships aren't prohibited within the volleyball club as long as they still prioritize their studies and the volleyball club of course. Knowing Nishinoya as the Guardian Deity of the team, they sure didn't see a problem about him dating someone. Besides, most boys their age have probably done that sort of thing.
But isn't it too early for them? the two adults thought.
"You seem livelier today, Noya-san," Hinata declared.
"Well, just imagining coming home and spending alone time with Manju gets me more excited than usual," Nishinoya replied. "I can't wait to touch her!"
Coach Ukai stiffened in his position while Takeda-sensei completely turned into a stone while muttering repeatedly, "I hope it's just my imagination. I hope it's just my imagination."
Damn this brat! I hope he doesn't get her pregnant or I'll beat him!
