LOST IN JAPAN. ᵐᶦʸᵃ ᵃᵗˢᵘᵐᵘ

proposition

atsumu and y/n were the first to arrive at the ramen place and while they were waiting on the rest of the group to arrive, the two sat in silence, eyes glued to their menus but atsumu occasionally sneaked a few glances at the woman in front of him.

this didn't go unnoticed by y/n of course, as she would see his head peek over his menu from the corner of her eye. she thought it was funny though, the way he would get startled before ducking behind the booklet in his hand whenever she'd catch him in the midst of his peering.

"y/n!" the h/c haired girl's thoughts were interrupted when she heard the all too familiar voice calling out her name.

"bokuto, hello." you gave him a smile as he and the other two, hinata and sakusa, took a seat at the booth.

sakusa gave you a nod while hinata patted your head.

"jeez, what's up with you and atsumu and ruining my hair." you smoothed down your locks as hinata laughed.

"it's free real estate!"

"atsumu and i are ready to order so you guys can take your time." you told the orange head before putting your menu in the middle of the table.

"hinata!" the blonde whispered in the shorter one's ear.

"what's up?" hinata replied back.

"i need you to teach me english!"

"huh? no way!" hinata put a hand over atsumu's ear and his mouth to prevent any potential eavesdroppers from hearing (the other 3 could care less though.) "i'm already helping y/n with japanese, i can't teach another person more or less have the time to do so."

"do they know we can see them whispering?" the foreigner thought as she looked at the two males beside her.

"so what do you propose i do? i could barely even talk to her without pulling google translate out every 5 seconds!" atsumu loudly whispered.

hinata thought about it for a moment before his eye lit up at the mind-blowing conclusion he came up with

he put both of his hands on the setter's shoulders. "why don't you two teach each other?!"

atsumu's jaw dropped, practically inviting a fly in as he looked at hinata as if he just said the most idiotic thing ever.

"wow that's such a great idea hinata! putting two people who can barely even communicate and having them teach other languages without even speaking the same language!" atsumu said mockingly.

"um, are you two ready to order?" sakusa interjected as the two men whipped their head towards the masked male.

"oh yeah, uh, i'll have shoyu ramen with a side of gyoza." atsumu told the waiter, while hinata ordered the same thing except without the side of gyoza.

"thank you, i'll be back with your orders shortly." the waiter said as she picked up all the menus and walked away.

"so what were you guys talking about?" you propped your head onto your hand as you looked over hinata's way.

"he wanted me to teach him english," hinata said as he went to reach out and pick up the plastic straw wrapper in front of him. "said he wanted to communicate with you better."

you looked over at the golden haired boy, who was currently invested in his own conversation with sakusa and bokuto, before turning your attention back onto your orange haired friend.
