❝It bothers me, that innocence.❞
【Falling In Love Now, Honeyworks】
「Chapter 3」
【春】-「1年生」
In class 2-1, Ayano was preparing to leave for the day, when the classroom door slid open to reveal a boy with short messy blonde hair swept to the left side and carmel eyes, "Oi, Ayano? Are you in here?" He asked, looking for the young girl.
"Eh? Kazuya-kun? What is it?" She asked, a light blush appearing on her cheeks
"Oh, there you are!" He exclaimed and made his way to her, "Nishikawa and Kanada said that they're gonna go check out the volleyball team."
"Eh? Is there a reason why?" She asked, he merely shrugged, "Hm, well I guess it wouldn't hurt to go with them..." She thought.
"In the end you'll just be reading your shojo mangas right?" He deadpanned.
"Maybe..." She smiled shyly as she slung the strap of her bag over her shoulder and followed him out as the two made their way to the gym.
"So, have you confessed to the guy you like yet?" Kazuya asked, startling the brunette.
"Eh?! Um...no, not exactly..." She muttered, averting her eyes away from him as her cheeks turned slightly pink.
"What? Really?" Kazuya said, "Well, you better do it soon, we're still in our youth..." He said, Ayano gazed at him and sighed.
"Yeah...I will..." One day...I'll confess to him...
"Woo, that was close! We made it!" The one with long, black hair tied into twin ponytails and dark brown eyes said. The one next to her had reddish brown, messy, short hair with brown eyes. He yawned as the black haired one made her way to a seat nearby, he followed after but stopped as he saw some girls sitting nearby, "It's a good thing that there's not many people here, right Nishi-GEH?!" She turned around to see her companion shamelessly flirting with the girls.
"Hey, we know each other, right?" He asked, sitting next to the girls as some giggled at his attempt to flirt, "We've met before..." He said flashing one a sparkling smile before the black haired one grabbed him by the back of his shirt and started to drag him away.
"Oi, what are you doing Nishikawa-senpai?" She asked.
"I'm not really interested in volleyball..." He started, waving the girls goodbye as he was being dragged away.
"Whatever, just shut up and watch! You're cousin is the captain, right?" She asked.
"Hmm...Daiccchi? I guess..."
"What do you mean by you guess?" She muttered.
"Well... if Daicchi was a girl, I would definitely pay attention!" He retorted, causing her to contort her face in disgust as they sat down.
"You're a very pathetic senpai..." Kazuya muttered as he walked behind the 3rd year, as both he and Ayano took a seat next to them.
"How hurtful, Kazucchi!" He pouted, Kazuya's face contorted at the nickname.
"That nickname itself shows how gross you are, senpai..." The black haired one snickered.
"Erucchi?! Why is that when the four of us are together, you all pick on me?!" He cried, she then crossed her arms and huffed.
"That's because you're a pervert! And I told you to stop with those ridiculous nicknames, it's Eruna not Erucchi!" She scolded, Nishikawa then turning to Ayano.
"Amacchi! You're the only one who truly love me, right?"
"Wouldn't love be to strong of a word to describe friendship?" She asked, innocently, while reading her manga. Nishikawa onto his knees as he started to sob silently,
"I was rejected by Amacchi as well!"
"Nice one,Tsukishima!" Nishikawa paused from his emotional toll and looked up to see Tsukishima on the court.
"Uwah! That guy is super tall! Perfect for a middle blocker..." Eruna said.
"Oh from what I remember, that's Tsukishima Kei, surprisingly he's only a first year," He said.
"NO WAY?!" Eruna and Kazuya gapped at him.
"Yup, apparently from Daicchi, he has a terrible personality, he's rude, blunt, and likes to rile people up, yet there's not much known about him...he's quite an enigma...kinda like a hero from a shojo manga...or better yet a possibly less annoying Kazucchi!"
"Are you trying to start a fight, punk...?" The blonde asked, his eyes darkening.
"Will you both shut up and die, idiots..." Eruna deapanned.
"How mean!" He pouted, but paused as he remembered something, "Ah, speaking of shojo! Amacchi! I need you to help me with this game!" Ayano lowered her book and gazed at the 3rd year.
"Game?"
"Yeah, this part that I got to is super hard, I really need help!"
「Asami: "Oi! You promised me that you would walk me home!"
Sayu: "Eh? But you said you would walk me, right?"
Protagonist: "...Um..."
Asami/ Sayu: "Who are you going to go with?!"」
"Amacchi! Who should I go home with?!" Nishikawa asked, panicking as he was struggling who to choose. Ayano kept on reading her manga as she hummed.
"Hmm...maybe Asami, she seems really mad at them moment..." She said, flickering her mocha brown eyes at the screen of his PSP.
"Oi, Nishikawa, the more you play, more you'll be further away from reality..." Kazuya called out to him.
"HUSH!" Nishikawa shushed the blonde, who seemed a bit irritated, "Amacchi! Help me out!"
"Why are you asking me Kashi-senpai?" Ayano asked.
"Because! You read a new shojo manga everyday! You must have some insight on how girls act! Plus you're a girl yourself!" He noted.
"That's a stupid reason..." Kazuya muttered.
"HUUSSSHH!"
"But that doesn't mean that I'm an expert at dating sims..." Ayano replied.
"JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
Meanwhile with the volleyball team, Suguwara noticed the group of four sitting near by, the black haired girl watching intensely as the others played while the other three where in their own conversation. The blonde seemingly irritated with the one with reddish brown hair while the girl with short brown hair was stuck in the middle as the two boys continued in their conversation.
"Oi, Suguwara, what are you looking at?" Daichi asked as he made his way over to the vice captain.
"Oh, nothing I just noticed that we have some visitors," Suguwara said, noting to the group. Daichi looked up at the group, but once he saw the one with reddish brown hair, his mood turned sour and his expression darkened along with the aura surrounding him, Suguwara noticed this and tensed up, "Eh? Wh-what is it?"
"That idiot..." Daichi muttered, the aura around him darkening even more that the rest of the team stopped what they were doing and sweat dropped at him.
"Oi, Sugu-chan, what's wrong with Daichi?" Tanaka whispered in the vice captain's ear, albeit frightened that something bad would happen to him.
"I don't really know..." He whispered back.
"Oi! Daicchi~!" They all looked up to see the boy with reddish brown hair waving at their captain, and on cue Daichi's mood took a turn for the worse as he grabbed the nearest volleyball and chucked it at the male, causing his team to jump as the boy fell back from the impact. The others surrounding the fallen boy all gathered around him as the blonde poked him.
"Woah, I think he's dead..." Kazuya muttered with an impassive expression.
"Severs him right..." Eruna sighed with her hands on her hips as she was now standing.
"Kashi-senpai!" Ayano cried as she tried to wake the poor 3rd year student. Hearing her voice, Tsukishima looked over to see Ayano shaking Nishikawa's shoulders to wake him up. Seeing this, he felt his stomach lunched as countless thoughts entered his mind. Why is she so close to him? Are they related? IS HE HER BOYFRIEND? Those thoughts swirled in him mind as watched them.
"Uwah! Daicchi! That hurts!" Nishikawa exclaimed, sitting up as he rubbed his head.
"Good!" Diachi exclaimed, "What are you even doing here, idiot?" He asked.
"Oh, well Erucchi wanted to see you guys play!" Nishikawa replied.
"Oi...don't put me on the spot!" Eruna fumed, slapping Nishikawa upside the head.
"Ite! So mean..." Nishikawa pouted.
"I'm sure Eruna-chan didn't mean it, Kashi-senpai..." Ayano said, patting the older boy on the shoulder. Tsukishima stiffened hearing the nickname she gave him, K-Kashi-senpai?! They're on nickname basis?! He thought, a dark aura started to emit from the blonde. Yamaguchi sighed as he noticed the dark aura and made his way to Ayano.
"Amamiya-san, what are you doing here?" Yamaguchi asked.
"Ah, Yamaguchi-kun! It's as Kashi-senpai said, Eruna-chan just wanted to see you all play," She answered.
"Eh, is that so?" Tsukishima said, joining into the conversation, "Or is it that senpai has a crush on someone here?" He teased.
"Eh, Tsukishima-kun?!" Ayano said, blushing slightly at the word crush, "I-I don't have crush!" She said hastily.
"Eh? But weren't you telling me how you planned on confessing to him?" Kazuya said.
"Ah! I mean I do have a crush! But they're not in the volleyball club!" She said, blushing more.
"Sure, sure," Tsukishima teased. Her blush was quite adorable, but he realized that she does have a crush on someone that wasn't on the volleyball team. Meaning that it wasn't him. Tsukishima felt his disheartened a bit, but brushed the feeling off. It wasn't as if he had any serious feelings towards her. Right?
"A-anyways, Tsukishima-kun, Yamaguchi-kun, how have you been?" She asked, trying to change the topic.
"Hmm, fine I guess, if it weren't those idiots and shrimp for making such a ruckus, everything would be just perfect~!" He continued with a smile, verbally insulting Nishinoya, Tanaka, and Hinata. Hinata then raise his fist at the blonde and bounced on his feet.
"Huh? You wanna fight, huh?" Hinata said.
"Oi! Hinata! Quit messing around, idiot!" Kageyama appeared as he hit the hyper red head upside the head.
"Ah, now the King has appeared," Tsukishima said.
"Say that again?" Kageyama asked, his eyes darkening.
"You heard me, King," Tsukishima repeated, provoking Kageyama as his teammates stare at the two as they got into their usual bantering.
"Ah, there they go again..." Suguwara sighed, before turning to Ayano and co. "Oh by the way, I'm Suguwara Koshi, from 3-4," He introduced himself.
"Oh, Amamiya Ayano, from 2-1," Ayano said.
"Kanada Eruna, from 2-2!" Eruna said, slinging her arms around Ayano.
"Kumori Kazuya, from 2-2 as well," Kazuya said. Nishikawa then jumped onto his feet and had his arm around the blonde, much to the blonde's distaste.
"And I'm Nishikawa Kashitaro~! From 3-1!" It was then that Daichi hit him again, "Ite! Daicchi~! You're such a mean cousin!" He pouted as he rubbed his head.
"It's your own fault for being an idiot..." Daichi muttered.
"Hm..." Nishikawa hummed and shrinked away from Daichi. Eruna snickered as Kazuya sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Kashi-senpai, you should really be listen to your cousin..." Ayano said.
"Eh? Amacchi?!" Nishikawa gasped as the younger girl told him off.
"See, even she agree..." Daichi muttered and turned towards them, "I'm sorry about him, my name is Sawamura Daichi by the way," He introduced himself.
"Ah, no, if anything we should be sorry about him, Sawamura-senpai," Ayano said.
"Yeah, we have to be forced to hang with him everyday..." Eruna said.
"At least you're not related to him..." Daichi muttered, earning a pout and a "How cruel!" from Nishikawa.
"Why is it I'm the one who get verbally abused?!" Nishikawa asked, comical tears streaming down his face.
"Don't worry Kashi-senpai," Ayano said, patting his shoulder.
"Uwah! Amacchi~!" He cried as he hugged her tightly. It was then that Tsukishima emitted the dark aura again, only this time his teammates and Nishikawa noticed the dark aura. His teammates were confused as to why he was emitting such an aura, Nishikawa, on the other hand, had a small theory as to why he was acting this way. The 3rd year then let go of Ayano, causing the dark aura to slowly diminish, seeing his he hugged her again and the same intensity of the aura returned. Nishikawa gapped like fish as his theory was confirmed and a surge of ideas filled his mischievous mind.
"Kashi-senpai, can you please let go?" Ayano asked.
"Eh? But you're so cute, Amacchi~!" He gushed, pinching her cheeks now, "Ah, you're like the sister I've always wanted!" He cooed. Tsukishima couldn't help but glare at him, sending the 3rd year student daggers with his amber eyes.
"Oi, senpai, should I report you for harassing a student?" Tsukishima asked, in a teasing tone, but in actuality was using it to hide the malice he had for him at the moment. The blonde giant didn't understand why he felt this way, but he knew that he was irritated more then ever.
"EH?!" Nishikawa gasped, "How mean! I was just commenting on how cute she is~!" He said, "I mean look at her, isn't she adorable?" He asked the blonde.
"No." Yes.
"Heh," Nishikawa smirked, "I know you're lying!" He said, letting go of the brunette and proceeded behind the blonde middle blocker, pushing him towards Ayano, "You're probably a tsundere! Ah, maybe that's why you're so blunt and rude to people!"
"What are you doing Nishikawa...?" Kazuya asked, wondering what idiotic idea he has in mind now.
"Oh, nothing~!" He said, but that mischievous glint in his brown eyes told him and Daichi otherwise.
"Get out..." "Die..." The two muttered, having daggers of glares in their eyes.
"WHY?!" Nishikawa cried.
"Kashi-senpai, maybe we should head home now," Ayano said.
"Hm, it is getting late..." Kazuya noted, glancing at his phone before putting it back in his pocket, "C'mon Ayano, we better go home before our parents get worried..." He said. Tsukishima immediately snapped his head to the shorter blonde as he heard him say her first name so causally, not to mention without honorifics!
"Ah, yeah Kazuya-kun!" She said and adjusted her bag.
"We're heading out you guys," Kazuya said, waving goodbye as he exited the gym with Ayano.
"We'll see you tomorrow, Kashi-senpai, Eruna-chan!"
"Yeah, sure, see ya..." Eruna said.
"Eh?! Amacchi? Kazucchi? You're leaving me?!" Nishikawa cried, but seeing how they were gone, he sighed and adjusted his bag, "I guess it can't be helped..." He muttered, "Yo! Daicchi! Erucchi and I are gonna head out too!" He called out as he linked arms with the dark haired girl, "Tell Auntie that I said hi!"
"Tell her yourself..." Daichi sighed.
"Sure, maybe I'll drop by later this week!" Nishikawa beamed, which led to Daichi to instantly regret what he said.
"Please don't..."
"Nope~! It's already decided~!" He said and then waved goodbye.
Since both Nishikawa and Eruna lived the same street they proceeded to walk together, despite the girl's resentment towards the older boy, "Oi, senpai, what the heck was that you were doing with the tall middle blocker?" Eruna asked, she was curious on why he was acting the way he was back their.
"Hm? Oh that? Ah, it's nothing~!" He smiled, "I just think I found some inspiration now."
"'Inspiration'? You mean for that shojo manga you had to do?" Eruna asked, yes you read correctly. Despite that Nishikawa Kashitaro was a flirt-albeit an annoying one-the boy was a passionate shojo mangaka. The only ones that knew this was Eruna since their families had been friends with each other for as long as either could remember, thus she was constantly at his house and vice versa. Even though, she found his to be quite annoying and irritating, she still considered him a friend and kept his secret.
"Yup~! I've finally found it! The inspiration that I need!" He proclaimed, "Now all I have to do is watch those two and see their progress!" He said, muttering to himself.
"'Those two'? Who exactly?" She asked, giving him a suspicious look.
"Eh? You mean you didn't see it?!" He asked, slightly shocked, he thought it was quite obvious, "It was obvious that Tsukishimacchi has feelings for Amacchi!" He said, causing Eruna to stop walking and stare at him.
"Eh?! WHAT?! You mean that huge middle blocker has feelings for Ayano?!" She exclaimed. Nishikawa nodded, confirming this.
"Yeah, it was obvious when you take a closer look."
"Eh...I didn't think Ayano would catch someone like him..." She muttered, "I mean did you see the way he acted to his teammates?! He's so rude!" She said.
"All of a more reason to get them together!" He chuckled, taking his fingers together, as if he was a villain.
"...Please stop...you know she has a crush on someone else right?"
"I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!"
"Oh dear lord, it's started..."
I know I said the story is gonna be more focused on Tsukki, but let's be honest the way he acts now, not much progress will get done, and I can't have Yamaguchi do all the work, so I made more OC's cause someone need to push the two together, or get Tsukki to get closer to her. I actually like Kashi, he's amazing he's like Juta from Otomen (another inspiration for this fanfic). Anyways, I'm planning on doing more Haikyuu! stories after this fic is done, I have the list on my profile, so when this one is done, I'll have a poll on which one should be posted next, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Note: chapters are unedited, due to lack of a beta... (o;TωT)o
