Chapter Text
“Aaaaaaooooooooo”
“No no, Noya, louder! Put your whole back into it!”
“AAAUUUuuuuuuu!!”
“Just like that!!” The taller of the two boys rolled backwards in the couch laughing, seeing his friend on all fours trying to howl just being too much for him. “It’s perfect!” After the third or maybe even fourth movie involving werewolves the two friends had been forced up to Tanaka’s room. Their excitement over the mythical creature not leaving them a bit they had proceeded to try and imitate its majestic roar. With more or less success.
Before even letting his friend sit back up properly Nishinoya had stood up, his hands hovering like claws in front of himself. “Oi Ryū, why are you laughing? Maybe I should just eat you whole!” And with that he threw himself on top of Tanaka, attacking his sides with his hands, tickling him with no mercy making his friend plead for relief between his laughs under him. Nishinoya knew exactly how to move his hands to put his friend into as much misery as possible. Placing knees on each side of his hips to keep him in place.
“I gi—HAHAHA— Noy HAHAHAHA NOYA I give up, I give up!” Nishinoya stopped with his torture, looking down at Tanaka with a huge smirk on lips. “Man, you are the worst.” The libero hear his friend say jokingly before he was pushed backwards, his head landing on the edge of the couch on top of a heap of pillows. He stared up at the ceiling, the smirk never leaving. He could hear Tanaka trying to catch his breath and they ended up just lying there for a few minutes.
“Would you eat me? If you were a werewolf?” The question broke the silence that had settled over the two and Nishinoya though for a moment before sitting up and chuckling his reply. “No way, of course I wouldn’t! That’s definitely against the bro code.”
“Thank you, I wouldn’t eat you eit--”
“Besides you would probably taste awful.”
“Noyaaa… you wound me.”
“You’re welcome.”
Both of them were now sitting up on the couch, Tanaka clutching his shirt over his heart pretending to be hurt. He couldn’t keep it up for long though, looking at Nishinoya who was grinning wide and soon they both broke into laughter.
“Could anyone in the team be one?”
“Pff… nah Ryū. Doubt it.”
“Daichi?”
Nishinoya shivered at the thought. He had an enormous respect for their captain. Partly because of his amazing leader skills but he was also very, very scary if he wanted to be. “… I think we already would be dead if he was.”
“Fair point. Azumane?”
“Asahi? No way. He couldn’t kill a fly. You should have seen him the other day! I was at his place when suddenly a spider appeared in his room and he just jumped up at his bed in fear with a shriek. Like, AAAH.” Nishinoya emphasised it by jumping on to his feet and hugging his legs tight looking like a little ball. “Just like that.” He sat down again cross-legged before continuing. “But as I tried to help by getting rid of it he just whispered… please…. Don’t kill it.”
“Woooow, really?”
“Yeah, he’s amazing. Scared to death by it but still don’t want to kill it.” Nishinoya could still see it in front of him. Asahi shaking as he covered in fear on the bed, his voice so weak it was barely audible. It both broke his heart to see the wing spiker like that but he had to say it was a little amusing too. He had no idea how he had been allowed to get so close to such a wonderful yet easily breakable person. If someone was in charge of what happened in his life they at least should have realised by now that Nishinoya and breakable things rarely worked well together.
“Okay so not a werewolf then?”
“No way.”
“He kind of looks the part though doesn’t he?”
“Hmm… Yeah he got quiet the bit of hair. And he is big.” Nishinoya could hear his friends smirk before even finishing the last sentence. He knew what was coming.
“Dude, TMI. Keep it in your pants.”
“That’s not what I meant and you know it! You’ve seen him change too!”
“Yeah, but I don’t stare at him like he’s one of the seven wonders of the world.”
“I’m very glad to hear that you’re not checking out my boyfriend.”
“Bro code.”
“How is it going with Karen?” The libero started to get a serious urge to change subject. He could probably talk about Asahi all day if someone wanted to listen but he was pretty sure that there was a limit to how much Tanaka would enjoy that.
“Oooooh right, you need to see this!” Nishinoya scooted over so he could more easily read on his friend’s phone.
They spent the rest of the evening talking about a broad range of subjects. Mainly the fact that the last few days Tanaka had been chatting a bit with a cute girl. As his best friend Nishinoya was of course helping him. He was after all the more successful of the two when it came to relationships. The fact that he had only ever dated one person didn’t diminish that, Tanaka had had a grand total of zero girlfriends. They both were determined to change that some way or another. Tanaka was amazing and definitely deserved love.
As always the fun had to end sometime. Soon Nishinoya was laying in his own bed, his eyelids heavy after a long day. He knew it was just moments away until he was drifting off to dream land probably to experience another weird dream he could tell his friend about in the morning. But there was a thought tugging at his mind from earlier today that kept him up just a bit longer. He knew it was only because he was tired, it was a ridiculous thought after all. Nothing to base it on except his crazy imagination. But what if… what if Asahi really was a werewolf?
