ASK: a fluffy scenario with Noya “Hi, we’re assigned as partners” please!

Nishinoya could feel himself staring but he just couldn’t help it. You were too cute not to look! His eyes, soft but focused, gazed at the back of your head as the teacher’s voice filled the room, though he couldn’t hear the words properly, so distracted by you.

“Nishinoya-kun?”

Your voice, coupled with the fact you were now looking at him, almost made him fall out of his chair.

Were you bothered by his staring? Upset he had the gall to look at you? No, you had a small smile on your face, a little confusion maybe at his mouth gaping open as he tried to find words. Were…were you going to confess? Were all his dreams going to come true in this-

“I…I think you spaced out there a bit. We’re assigned as partners for this project. Do…do you want to figure out a time to get together and plan it out?”

Nishinoya blinked, swallowed, finally found his voice. “That sounds great, _____!” He knew he was being too loud, but at least he was known for that.

It may not have been a confession, but at least he would be spending more time with you. Which would hopefully give him the courage to make his own.
