Here She Goes (Nishinoya x Reader)

This Was The Moment That We Won

~Y/N POV~

"THEY'RE FINALLY PUTTING KINOSHITA BACK IN!" I cheered happily, clapping my hands as he made his way onto the court.

For the entirety of the game, he had been really quiet and was clearly concentrating extremely hard. At times I could see him mimicking a serving motion, and even doing a shortened approach.

He took his place behind the line, closing his eyes as he held the ball ahead of him. The guys on the bench, (mainly led by Noya) did their classic cheer, pointing at him and screaming his name as the whistle blew.

He took just a couple steps before making contact with the ball, sending it flying over towards Miya Osamu.

The entire play appeared in slow motion. First the receive. Then, the set, and suddenly the attack. Before the poor boys even had a chance to react, the ball was hitting the floor.

"Waaaah! That was such a good serve too!" I wailed, leaning my head on Yachis shoulder as Kinoshita was subbed out for the final time that game.

"T-they're so fast! I could b-barely even track the ball," Yachi shivered, her entire body appearing to shake as she stood there.

"They're all high and mighty, huh?" I sighed, watching as the game continued.

"That's an understatement," Yachi mumbled, looking up at the huge cheering section for Inarizaki.

"This reminds me of a concert or something. I'm honestly expecting miss Nicki too pop out at any moment and sing for us," I giggled, trying to lighten the mood.

Yachi stifled a small laugh, even cracking a smile as we turned back to the court. The boys appeared to just be coming out of a timeout, and looked as ready as ever.

Unfortunately mister Barry the bee was up to serve, and you could just feel the unusual nerves radiating from Nishi.

"Hey Yachi? Do you have a fly swatter by any chance?" I asked hopefully, raising an eyebrow as the insect stood at the service line.

"W-why would I have a fly swatter?" she asked hesitantly.

"So I can remove that bee from the game!" I exclaimed, pointing to the yellow haired setter.

"Even if I did have one, I don't think it would be a good idea to trust you with it," she laughed.

"Well, I suppose my shoe will work if it comes down to it," I sighed, placing my hands on my hips as the whistle blew once again.

Miya Atsumu served up a jump floater, and I couldn't help but hold my breath as the ball wavered in the air, heading straight for Nishi.

He almost appeared to be frozen, staring down the ball with a, frown on his face until a familiar voice called out above the cheers.

"NISHINOYA! MOVE UP!" Kinoshita screamed, snapping him out of whatever state he'd previously been in.

As if he was being controlled by strings (puppet master tings😙), he took a couple steps forwards, his arms moving smoothly and resting above his head.

The ball flew right into the pads of his fingers, being caught and then released in one swift motion. Too my delight, the ball flew through the air right to Kageyama, enabling açai- ASAHI too get a powerful kill.

"NISHI YOU ABSOLUTE BADASS!" I screamed, jumping up and down as the stadium erupted with applause.

I couldn't help but laugh as he chest bumped Asahi, tumbling back slightly from the force of the ace's strength. He then whirled around, pointing directly at Kinoshita and letting out a loud cheer before turning and smiling brightly at me.
