Normal Pov.

Arisu skipped to school happily, as if something happen eventfully that made her

I feel a little bit closer to Tobio-kun now! Close enough to call him by his first name~!

She thought as a smug appear in her face, she finally reached Karasuno and went in her classroom.

"Good morning, Kisaragi-san!" Hinata greeted his seatmate, who snapped from her delusions and turned to him.

"Good morning, Hinata-kun~" She chirped happily, which Hinata noticed something is up.

"What's up? You seem to be quite happy" He asked the lovestruck girl.

"Nothing~" She replied, as she still has the kind of 'air' around her.

I wish time would go faster!

She let out a giggle to herself, Hinata just looked at her in confusion, but just shrugged the thought and do his own business.

~•❤️•~

Arisu and Hinata walked out of the classroom, outside they spotted Kageyama waiting for them while he leaned his back on the wall as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Trying to look cool, Tobio-kun?" Arisu asked while she happily let out a cute giggle, which made Kageyama turned to both of them.

"S-Shut up, idiot Arisu!" He hissed as he stood up straight and glared at the gleeful blonde.

T-They're calling each other by their first name? What's happening?!

Hinata was taken back by the two of them suddenly calling each other by their given names.

"H-Hey, you two seems to get along well than usual...did something happen?" Hinata asked, breaking the mood between them.

"Nothing special, really" Kageyama replied with his low voice as usual.

Doesn't seem like that to me...

Hinata was dead curious about what happened to the two--they're relationship level have turned to Acquaintance to Best Friends...what in the world happened?!

They've finished eating they're lunch as Hinata was out place with them, they chatted as if they owned the world--as if Hinata wasn't there.

"Oh, that reminds me...I have to go there" Arisu said as she finished tying the lunchbox in a piece of clothes.

"Where are you going, Arisu?" Kageyama asked the girl who suddenly stood up.

"To Art's room, I have something to finish there" She explained.

"Want me and Hinata to keep you company?" He asked.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I have to finish something there...it's going to take some while to finish" Arisu said while rubbing her cheek lightly.

Kageyama nodded as Arisu bids them goodbye and parted ways with them, leaving the two boys alone.

"Hey Kageyama, did something happen between you two?" The orange haired boy asked, he couldn't help but feel curiosity.

"Nothing really special" He nonchalantly replied.

"Then...what's this mood between the two of you? I never heard you call someone by their first name" Hinata protested, somewhat irritated.

Is he...perhaps...in love with Arisu?

Kageyama thought, not expecting for Hinata to behave like this--it was beyond his thoughts.

"We hang out together yesterday, after school, satisfied?" He asked him.

"What happened next? Tell me!" Hinata said, urging him to continue.

"We jump in the river, laughing, then we went straight to my home, chilling out" Kageyama said.

This time, Hinata was somewhat satisfied knowing what happened to them yesterday, and he wasn't so pleased.

"Why are you pissed about anyways?" Kageyama asked, this question made Hinata taken back.

His right...why am I pissed anyways? It's not my concern who Kisaragi-san goes with...but somehow...

He stood up, as he ran out of the canteen, leaving Kageyama confused and alone.

Hinata run as fast as he can, not knowing where to go--he just ran where his legs can take him.

What is this feeling? It's irritating...

He kept running, not stopping even if he bumped into someone.

I really hate this feeling!

~•❤️•~

He stopped running as he reached somewhere far, he looked up and saw the sign: Art's Room

Art's room...? Wait--isn't this the place Kisaragi-san went?

He thought, as he confirmed it by peeking through the open doors.

He saw golden locks floating in the air as the figure was alone in the room, painting on the canvas.

She sat there painting, in the silence,
you can see a smile in her lips while she paints.

Hinata was curious what she was painting so he walked in the room in complete silence, not wanting to distract her with her work.

Arisu felt someone entered the room as she glanced at the person who came in--it was Hinata.

"Hinata-kun...what are you doing here?" She asked him, slightly surprised seeing him here.

"O-Oh, just wanting to check what your working on" He said while smiling sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

When Arisu heard the 'wanting to check what your working on' she immediately stood up and shielded her work from him.

"N-No!" She said, not wanting him to see her work.

"Why? Just a peek won't hurt!" He whined, trying to look as he was stopped by her.

"Nuh-uh, not on my watch" She said, as she started pulled him.

"Aw come on, don't be stingy!" Hinata said as he pouted.

"No means no! I'll show it to you eventually--just not today!" She said, preventing him to look.

"What are you hiding? Let me look at it" Hinata said, walking forward as he was being pushed by Arisu.

"N-No, please stop! Hinata-kun!" She plead, not wanting him to look.

"I wanna see it--" He was cut off when he tripped on a book that is laying on the floor, he was out of balance making him fall.

Arisu let out a yelp while Hinata slowly falls for her, slowly, as if Time froze itself.

"Hinata--" She was cut of when her back touched the ground, she lay down on the ground as Hinata was on top of her.

The orange haired boy's arms were on the ground, trapping the blonde in his arms, his right leg was on between her legs as the other was beside her right leg, making it impossible for her to stood up.

Hinata's eyes were half lidded as his gaze was fixated on her, his cheeks were tinted red and his lips parted a bit, making him look adorable.

His eyes trailed down to her uniform, he noticed that the upper button is unbuttoned and a soft pale collar bone was a little bit exposed.

Some of her blonde locks were stuck on her neck and the corners of her face, framing it in a cute demeanor.

Arisu on the other hand--looks up to the man on her, every time she breathes, she could whiff his fragrance that has a wonderful aroma making her very pleased.

He...smells nice.

Hinata didn't stood up from the position nor Arisu told him to move or push him away--they were just lost in each other's gaze, as if time froze.

"Hinata--" She was cut off when he spoked.

"Shouyou" He said.

"Huh?" She asked.

"Call me by my name, Shouyou"
He demanded as he was really aggressive right now.

She was silence for a bit, her lips quivered a bit before speaking.

Him--on the other hand, was dead curious how his given name sounds like from your pinkish, sweet lips, how your tongue would roll to state his name.

"Can you get off me...Shouyou?"
She said his name, without the honorific '-kun' attached in his name.

Just Shouyou...

"Yeah, Arisu" He softly said as he stood up from the position you were back then.

Arisu--on the other hand, was flushed, blushing furiously and thinking about what just happened, it was truly mortifying.

Hinata took this chance to peek on the painting that she's hiding, his eyes widened when he saw it...

It was a painting of Karasuno's volleyball boys, it was amazing.

"Aw, you saw it...I was keeping it a secret and give it to you boys after I was done painting" She said as she sighed disappointingly.

Hinata realised what he just did, he bowed down to her while he is in panic.

"I'm so sorry Kisaragi-san, I didn't mean to look at it!" He sincerely apologised.

"It's fine, don't worry about it"
She said, letting out a small smile.

Hinata was still bowing down, repenting for his sins.

"I hope Tobio-kun will be delighted...even a little" She said as she clasped her hands together, smiling adorably.

Seeing this, hurt his chest--remembering she was in love with him.

That's when he realised his job as Friend A, it was to hook them up, so he faked a bright smile and looked at her.

"Don't worry, Kisaragi-san, I'm sure he'll be delighted" Hinata said.

"How can you be so sure?" She asked him.

"Uh...I don't know, but I know so"
He said while rubbing the back of his neck.

She pouted, slightly dissatisfied to his reply, she crossed her arms.

"Can I call you by your...name?"
Hinata asked, hoping he could.

"Yeah, I will do the same as well"
She said with a smile.

He held both of her hands to encourage her.

"I'll help you two get together, after all--it's the Friend A to play that role" He said with a bright smile.

"Really? You'll do that for me?" She asked as hope glimmers in her eyes.

He nodded in reply as he was hurting, but still kept a smile for your sake, what a loving friend he is.

She smiled brightly--the kind of smile he wanted to receive from her, the kind of attention he seek from her, and the affection he yearns from her.

"Anything for you"
