Taking his seat on the train, Aone hunkered down for his everyday, long, silent train ride. Like usual, both seats beside him were empty. Looking past his scarf at his glove covered hands, Aone fondly remembered how the ground outside had a fresh covering of pure white snow.
*ping*
The doors to the already packed train opened to let on another onslaught of tired people. Aone usually didn’t pay attention to this, but today something about this stop felt odd. He took a glance upward and noticed a figure walking towards him. Well, maybe walking isnt the right word. It was more of a stumble. He raised his head to take a closer look. The figure looked exhausted; there were even dark bags under their eyes. He also noticed that the new person was also wearing the same school uniform. Was there always someone else that rode this train to school? He couldnt remember. Aone realised he was staring and lowered his face closing his eyes. Just then he heard a soft ‘thump’ beside him. He opened one of his eyes. Maybe the person was so tired that they didn’t realize it, but they had sat right beside him. He gripped his hands together and willed himself not to move too suddenly or he’ll alert the newcomer. He sighed quietly, trying to calm his nerves. He took another glance at his seat partner and noticed that their head drooped, and they seemed to be wobbling. He looked back at his hands. Just then he felt a slight pat on his shoulder. Turning his head towards his side, he saw a head laying softly on his broad shoulder.
Aone froze. Should he wake them up? But if he wakes them up, they’ll be all embarrassed even though, to him, it wasnt that big of a deal. Or will they be more embarrasssed if he lets them sleep?
Just when he was reaching around to wake the sleeper up, he caught sight of their closed eyes and slightly open mouth. He retracted his hand and layed his hands back down on his lap. He closed his eyes and upon reopening, looked across the train. He regretted that. Looking across the train, he made direct eye contact with the elderly lady that always rode the train to town at this time. She had a soft smile playing at her lips, and she gave him a small giggle and a wink. Only then did he realize how close he was to someone he didn’t know. His face then shown three different shades of red. The woman giggled again and looked away. He covered his now red face with his free hand.
Aone looked at the electronic sign announcing the next stop. The next stop is the one for his school. He glanced at the sleeping person beside him. Lifting his free hand, he gently shook the figure’s shoulder. He chuckled almost inaudibly when the sleeping person mumbled something, and squeezed their eyes tighter. Though he wouldn’t tell them, he thought it was adorable. He tried again, this time successfully, to wake them up. The person flinched at the second attempt and leaned back up. Then they froze. Turning their head, they looked at Aone. He nodded to them in greeting and they returned the nod, but their face was bright red. Just then the doors to the train opened and Aone stood up, bowed again and left before the person could get any more flustered.
Aone was on his way to volleyball practice when he heard pattering footsteps approaching from behind him.
“A-Aone-san!” He turned towards the call. The person from this morning stumbled towards him, and stopped a couple feet away from him. The flustered person looked down and breathed in. Their body then bent forward into a 90 degree bow.
“Sorry and thank you for this morning!” They almost shouted. Aone’s eyes went wide. Not only had this person talked to him again, but they came voluntarily. He noticed they were still bowing.
“It’s no problem.” He quietly responded. The new person raised their head and smiled. They still looked tired, but not quite as badly as this morning. Turning to leave, Aone was stopped once again.
“U-um…!” He turned his head towards the figure once more. “If it’s not too much to ask, can I sit with you again tomorrow?” They asked. After a slight pause the figure spoke again. “ I-I mean, I’m not going to…I’ll try not to fall asleep on you again!” They said slightly more flustered by the end. Aone simply nodded, but it was all the person needed to see. They smiled widely, nodded back, and walked quickly away. Aone didnt move. After a few seconds of standing in silence, he remembered that he was headed towards practice and resumed his walk. Just outside the club room, he ran into Futakuchi.
“Good evening Aone- whoa! Aone! I didnt know you could look like that!” He said taking a step backwards gazing at his teammate’s face. “All this time…who knew you could make that kind of expression?” Aone knew what he meant. The smile on his face was small and barely noticeable…but it was a smile nonetheless.
{A/N: This is my shortest one yet! I was looking for some writing prompts I could use and stumbled upon this "character a falls asleep on stranger (character b) on a train" and thought "...yeah, why not?" Haha so here you go!}
As far as I can remember Oikawa and Makki (looks like Fukunaga too but yeah Makki in black hair) are playing at the other side but how can they multi task playing against Date Ko and scoring the match between Karasuno and Wakunan
