Description
Hearing the sound of hair dryer blowing loudly, you groaned. Weakly prying open your eyes, you could only see the white ceiling of your room. As the birds chirping filled your ears, you could make it out by now its probably morning. Glancing at the clock high up on your bedroom's wall, it told the time as, '7am'. That's uncommon...you're about 30 minutes earlier than your usual time. You frowned after the thoughts finally processed in your mind, the hair dryer.

Jolting out of bed, you were surprised to find your sister ruffling her hair as the dryer does its work. You pretended to clear your throat as she quickly turned around and gave you a stoic expression that doesn't say anything. But her posture of slightly lowering her head told you that she's feeling quite apologetic.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Kiyoko-Nee. Please use your dryer outside, geez." You complained and pouted, flopping back down onto your bed. Its too early to be dealing with this in the morning. You heard her sweet laughter and couldn't help but giggle too, she continued with her hair drying work as you rolled around your bed a few more times.

"I'm going to school earlier, do you want to follow?" She asked, barely audible by all the loud wind noises.

"Eh, why?"

"Well you know about the new first years right? I don't think they are officially part of the club yet, I need to go and do some paperwork for them." Your ears perked up in interest as you sat up immediately.

"Oh really? Well I want to but...I'm so lazy..." Whining annoyingly, you wrapped your blankets around yourself. She caught sight of it and laughed again before digging through your closet, throwing out your uniform and tossing it at your face.

"C'mon, don't you always love seeing volleyball? You wouldn't make an exception this time, would you?" You flinched at her words and quickly stuffed your face into your uniform. You can't believe she still believes that excuse! Well, the thing is, you've always told your sister that you want to hang out in her club activities because you 'love' volleyball so much while the truth lied among a certain boy in the team. You coughed awkwardly and stood up, shoving her out of her room together with the hair dryer in her hand hoping that she hasn't realised the red patch that's on your face.

"F-fine, just give me some time to prepare."

The day was just original as the others, you talked to your sister on the way to school, played with the cat at the street and bought some Jagabee snacks at the nearby convenience store. Chewing the little crispy french fries, you have finally made it to school at 7.30am. Arriving in front of the double big metal doors, you could overhear the squeaking sounds of sports shoes running across the smooth wooden gym floor and balls bouncing off with an echo. Not wanting to intrude the training with your kind of extra presence, you decided to let you sister enter first.

The door opened up with a pretty loud sound that made you cringed every time you hear it, yikes the metal sound! Your sister gracefully stepped into the gym and you followed along behind. Before you could say any other words out of your mouth, the rapid foot steps immediately caught both of your attention.

"KIYOKO-SAN! I'VE BEEN WANTING TO MEET YOU THE WHOLE TIME!" Screamed a boy with an exotic hairstyle. You immediately jumped at the sudden voice and freaked when you saw him charging at your sister and jumping at her, you felt irked at the scene and decided to do something about it.

"NISHINOYA-KUN!" You exclaimed and kicked him away immediately, preventing him from having any single contact with your precious sister.

"Stupid! Stop harrassing Kiyoko-Nee every time you see her, you're so annoying." You spat at his 'dead' body on the ground with any mercy. Dense guy needs to learn his lesson. He faked some sobbing the moment he made eye contact with your gloomy angry eyes that was shooting some pretty menacing looks,

"(F-F/N)-san, what the hell was that....You need to chill!" He exclaimed while still pretending to cry.

"You're the one that needs to chill! Stop jumping at Nee-chan every time you see her, jerky pervert."

"Jerky- You're the one who needs to stop being so rough! Are you even a girl?!"

"Asshole! Watch your mouth! I'm a girl alright! I would prove it to you if you weren't such a freak!"

"Freak!? Are you even listening to what you're saying? Tomboy!"

"Douche bag!"

"Bastard!"

"LOUDMOUTH!" The both of you shouted in sync before trying to catch your breath. You angrily hissed at him and he returned the gesture too which only seemed to pissed you off more. He never failed to blow your top seriously...and its not like you wanted to get angry at him neither, you just can't help it from time to time. Now here's the biggest part, he's the truth that you've been lying to your sister about. You didn't like volleyball, honestly it wasn't really that amazing. He, was the amazing one that you've sought for this entire time. Why did it get off to such a bad start anyway? Now you were super sure that he probably doesn't like you by the amount of quarreling that happened on a daily basis. You've shown unlimited patience for him previously, but the way he worshiped your sister just made you mad and jealous, but you could never blame your sister. You loved her, its just that you can never seemed to accept that she was really a lot more better than you. She's prettier with her straight and gorgeous hair, she's smarter in terms of results and lastly, she's so much more feminine than you are.

Yeah, you're a girl, that's a fact. Just that, you could never act like one when males are around. Considering how they took advantage of your sister when you were a child by commanding her to do things for them made you despised them the most. How could they use her just to feel more superior? Even though that incident had been long forgotten in the back of your mind, your habits of acting tough still cannot be changed.

After some time, the commotion died down as you made a 'hmp' sound to show how displeased you are as you walked away and he quickly stick out his tongue at you to mock you, but you didn't see it as he was sneakily doing it behind. Taking a seat next to your sister who had long left the fight before it even started. You sighed in disappointment as you wondered why does today have to kick-start this way again, you glanced up and observed the Libero as he ran back to his team after he regained a smile on his face as they discussed about something. You felt so out of focused as your actions got to you again, maybe you shouldn't have shouted or attacked at him like that....-

"That wimp!" The voice suddenly caught you off guard as you directed your attention to the court. Tanaka seemed to have a panic expression on his face.

"Hey, Noya! Don't talk like that about your senior!" He rebutted to Nishinoya. Which in return, only to be fiercely yelled at.

"SHUT UP! A WIMP IS A WIMP! If Asahi-san isn't coming back, then neither am I!" He bellowed with anger in his voice and turned away in an instant as Tanaka tried to call him back. Both your sister and you watched in shock as the small boy stomped out of the gym with an extremely riled up face and the rest of the team remained speechless while the two new juniors, Kageyama and Hinata you have learnt by now, stared in confusion. You caught a glimpse of the worried looks on the team's faces as you felt the emotion connected to you at once, you couldn't help but feel concerned for the boy.

As you were ready to stand up, your mind immediately held you back. How are you going to be able to comfort him? If he doesn't like you, isn't it going to make it ever worst? You felt your breathe hitched, you felt so helpless. Helpless just like when your sister was bullied. You wanted to ignore the insecurities and anxiety, telling yourself that he's more important right now. But the courage was destroyed when you saw Hinata rushing out after him.

'He's probably going to do a better job than I ever will.' Just the thought of it made you heartbroken as you sat back down and the urge to cry suddenly stirred inside you. You hurriedly excused yourself from your sister and ran to the girls toilet to let out your pain. You quietly sniffed and sobbed as you have to once again watched the one you loved getting sad or angry while you do nothing.

Why can't you just be useful for once?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The whole day passed like an eternity, you attended class feeling worried, you went for recess feeling worried, you went to club activities almost ready to cry at any moment. You didn't share class as the Libero, neither do you have courage to face someone who hates you just to comfort him, it will probably sound like you're mocking him too and in this situation, the last thing you want to do is to make him feel any shittier. The long awaited moment where your day has finally ended, you just couldn't wait to go home and indulge yourself in some self-pitying session. Haha, how pathetic.

Yet luck never stood on your side. After changing your shoes, you were completely demoralised to see that the scenery outside school was fully blocked by the heaving pouring rain, what's worst was you haven't been bringing an umbrella to school for the past few days. You wanted to cry so badly on the spot, but you bit your lips to hold it in, telling yourself that you're going to have to stay strong for just a little bit more longer. Whipping out your hand phone, you were ready to call your sister and ask her to pass you an umbrella from the gym (since her club activities ends at 7 while yours at 6) when you suddenly saw that there was actually a message sent by her two hours ago.

"(F/N), I'm so sorry, I caught a fever during class and had an early dismiss. I already told Suga I won't be at their training, so don't come and find me and go first okay?"

That was the last straw.

Tears started to drip down your face and onto your shirt. You kept your phone in your pocket and stood at the entrance, staring at the rain unblinking as you sobbed and sobbed. Why is it such a bad day today? Was it Karma? You desperately wiped your tears away again and again but to no avail when you continued to pour out your tears, just like the rain.

And it was at that moment he had ever seen you being so fragile and weak. His heart skipped for a beat as his eyes filled up with concern. Quickly jogging towards you, he pet your back to notify you his company. Boy, your eyes have never widen so much before and your heart pounded at an abnormal rate. The looks on his face already confessed everything, he...was worried about you. You gasped and pulled up your collar, hiding your face in it and rubbing away all evidence of tears.

"(F/N)-san, what are you doing here? Are you okay? Were you crying?" He suddenly blurted out a whole line of questions, and you could feel blood rushing so fast that you were going to faint. You have never felt so elated in your life. Not wanting to express your happiness yet, you just flashed him a really weak smile, trying to convey the message of, 'I'm okay'. But you didn't expect a full blown face blush from him as he started to stutter and look away, w-what's going on with him? In his head, his mind was screaming at how fucking adorable that smile of yours was,(since it was rare that you have ever smiled around him) and how he want to embrace you right now, the way you looked so weak just now and how he wanted to take the opportunity to just protect you with all he had, considering how you always mentioned you didn't needed help from anyone. By now it should be obvious that both your concerns of being hated by each other was mutual.

He just didn't like it when you forced yourself to be strong, he wanted you to know that he too, will be able to shield you. The constant reminder of him not having the consent to protect you always made him riled up and thus, starting an unnecessary fight between the two. He quickly shook his head, not exactly convinced at your 'smile'.

"What's wrong? Are you stuck in the rain? You didn't have to cry!"

"N-no! I'm fine, I really am. It's just...a bad day, p-plus, Nee-chan fell sick just now, I'm worried." You quickly mentioned your sister, maybe this way he will be less angry at you for talking about your sister, right?-

"That's unfortunate. But right now, what happened to you? Why were you crying? Do you need to get home really badly?"

Why?

The thought ran through your mind repeatedly as you started to bawl out, letting out all your emotions. Why did he cared about you? Why not your sister? Why is he doing this? Nishinoya jumped at the scene before him and panicked, not knowing what to do.

Life flashed before him, as the girl wrapped her arms around him tightly. Her sweet scent immediately filled up his nose and he could feel every single..parts of her on him. He didn't know what to do at the moment, but oh my god her warmth felt amazing in the cold rain. Reacting by instinct, he put his arm around your waist and held you tightly, he didn't know what he's doing it but it just felt right. Resting his face between your shoulders, he inhaled the fragrance and that flowery smell of your hair.

He never knew how in love he was until this moment.

"Noya...I'm sorry."

"Huh? Why are you..."

"I'm sorry I've always been fighting with you and being mean to you. I was just scared and afraid, and I didn't wanted to lack behind my sister. I wanted to show everyone I was able to do something too. But in the end, all I did was offend you."

How precious, he thought. How goddamn precious are you right now.

"(F/N), don't say that...Don't." He heard you cried again, and his hand softly pat your head. He pulled away slowly and tip-toed, matching up with your height and gave a small peek on your forehead, making the red hue on your face spread as fast as lightning. You quickly kissed his cheeks to return his affection.

"Ahh...Why do I have to love you so much?" You sighed as you snuggled into his shoulder blades, trying to stifle the beautiful smile of yours.

"I don't know, that's what I ask myself all the time too." He grinned and rubbed tiny circles around your back.

"Thanks, for making me feel important. I have never experienced this for such a long time with my sister around." You felt a sense of guiltiness over come you for speaking ill-y of your lovely sister, still, you would never want to blame her.

"I need you to know that, your sister is an infatuation. She may be perfect but, you're impeccable." He replied and intertwined his small fingers with yours, slowly leaning in to get something more out of you which you gladly returned.

"They mean the same, dummie."

"Shush, I just learnt that from English class today!"
