On My Mind

The Trip (pt 2)

When Shouyou woke up with Nishinoya curled next to him, he thought that he must have dreamed the events of the night before. But then he looked around to see that they were both squished on to a couch in Nishinoya's uncle's house.

"What happened to you two?" the voice of Nishinoya's aunt startled Shouyou, causing him to tumble off the couch. The sound woke Nishinoya up. The libero blinked slowly and stretched as he looked around the room. His hair was flat on his head, because the rain had washed the gel out. Nishinoya looked so different, but to Shouyou it was adorable. The other boy should wear his hair down more often.

"We got caught in a rainstorm, and hadn't set the tent up right." Shouyou explained. The woman laughed at this and shook her head.

"Oh my gosh, Yuu. I thought you said you knew what you were doing. Now all your stuff is soaked." she looked at her nephew. Nishinoya blushed and looked away.

"I thought I did know how to do it! I guess not. All our important stuff is dry, but all our clothes are wet." the boy sighed.

"Hmmm...well you two boys help yourself to some breakfast. I will see if we have anything that will fit you guys for today. We can wash your other clothes." the woman offered kindly before disappearing into the house.

The two teenagers got up and made their way to the table, and Nishinoya made a simple breakfast.

"I didn't know you cooked, Noya-san!" Shouyou complimented as he ate. Nishinoya beamed and nodded.

"I do. Not a lot, but I can do some things. Also, sorry about last night, guess I am not good at camping." the older boy blushed. That coupled with the boy's hair being down had Shouyou's heart rate speeding up considerably. How was Nishinoya so tough yet so adorable at the same time? Was he allowed to tell the older boy that? How would the second year react?

"You good, Sho? You look a little lost?" Nishinoya broke the younger out of his thoughts. Shouyou startled and nodded quickly.

"Yup! All good!"

After the two finished eating, they dressed in some of Nishinoya's cousin's sweatshirts and their swim trunks. As the girl was tall, her baggier clothes fit the two boys just fine. Besides, they were navy and purple so most people would not even notice that it was womens' clothing.

"All right! Hope you're ready, Shouyou, it's gonna be a full day!" Nishinoya smiled widely. Shouyou nodded enthusiastically.

"You'll be back for dinner, right boys?" the boy's aunt asked. Nishinoya nodded and waved goodbye before dragging Shouyou out the door.

"Where are we going?" Shouyou asked curiously. Nishinoya simply grinned over his shoulder and kept going. After a decent walk alongside the beach, the two reach the area open to the public. Some people were already there, and Nishinoya led the way through the crowds.

"I'd show you how to fish but I feel like you have too much energy for that. We're going to take surfing lessons instead." the older boy informed Shouyou. The redhead's eyes widened and he took a step back.

"It'll be fun! And it'll help your balance and leg muscles, and your core. It's good for you, come on!" Nishinoya cheered before leading Shouyou over to the beachside shop. Before the younger boy knew it, he was heading towards the water with a board in hand with the rest of a small group. He tried to follow what the instructor was saying, but it was all so confusing. It was so different from volleyball. Shouyou liked volleyball. It was on solid ground, and it was fun and quick paced. Surfing was also quick paced, but definitely much harder to move around.
