“Yaku-San, Happy New Year!”, I say as we watch the rest of the volleyball team run around below us from the balcony. Fireworks start to shoot up and light up the sky. “ Good luck at the Spring Nationals!”

Yaku smiles, glancing at his team. He chuckles at how far behind Lev is despite his long limbs. Looking to the sky, he watches as the beautiful colors explode above both of your heads. 

His eyes trail down to look at you, his heart thumping hard against his rib cage. 

Here goes nothing,” he thinks, turning to face you full. “Um, _____-chan,” he begins, drawing your attention to his face. “Wo…would you make it a really happy new year and…go out with me?”

He watches as your eyes get bigger, but thankfully your smile does as well. You catch him off guard as you fling yourself into his arms, giving him a huge hug. 

“Yes, Yaku-san, I’d love to go out with you!” 

He smiles too, increasing the pressure of his hold, so thankful he worked up the courage to ask you out. And thankful that Kuroo issued a stupid challenge to clear up his time to be with you alone.
