Could you write a fic for Noya x Watari from Haikyuu where they both have crushes on each other and there teams try to get them together?
This ask has been here for so long and I am so sorry anon omg. This was so hard and it’s not my best work but! It’s done and isn’t terrible lmao so enjoy
It was painful, no it was much worse than painful, it was beyond excruciating. Everyone and their blind uncle could see what was going on but somehow Karasunos libero and Aoba Johsias libero were completely and utterly clueless.Karasuno clued on pretty quickly after the practice match against Seijoho and Noya would not shut up about Watari. He went on and on and on about how amazing his opponent had been, how skilled and talented he was and how he loved the challenge…then it changed, he had started talking about how pretty he was. He talked about how, theoretically of course, if he were a girl, he’d love the other setter’s lips and eyes. “If you were a girl, you’d like them too right??” He had asked Tanaka eagerly on the bus mere moments after they were seated, Tanaka wasn’t the only one who was quite taken back by this remark. He had garnered the attention, and surprise, of the others on the bus.“I don’t know…I’ve never thought of a dude like that honestly?” Noya then insisted that it was completely normal and that most guys thought about other dudes like that at one point or another. The only ones who agreed with him were the gays and bisexuals on the team, he chose to ignore this mere coincidence and the team just decided to put that whole thing down to Noya being impressed with Watari’s skills and not having the words to explain it or maybe that is just how he wants to explain it. Either way they don’t think too much into it, it probably isn’t that deep.It’s not until weeks later they realise that Noya is crushing hard because their dear libero had not shut up about Watari since their match and as much as they cared about Noya, the shameless crushing followed by abject denial was beginning to drive them a little nuts. Noya continued to deny he had a crush and would fervently deny even being into guys at all, he’d defend his crush as being simply admiration until he was blue in the face, or more accurately red. The team would often joke around at how red Noya got whenever the opposing libero was mentioned though no matter how hard they tried they could not get a confession out of him. They assured him that they wouldn’t think less of him for liking guys, Tanaka joked around by saying that liking a member of Seijoh was far worse than being bi, even Kiyoko tried asking him to no avail. They had absolutely no idea how to fix this, they just know they needed to do something cause if they heard about Noya’s ‘totally straight’ admiration for Watari’s ‘gorgeous eyes’ one more time they were going to go crazy. They didn’t expect their answer however to walk right up to their door with a small, sealed envelope.
While Karasuno had been driven to the brink of insanity by Noya’s totally platonic crush, Aoba Johsai had been subjected to their own form of torture. Watari was confident in his sexuality, so when he saw Noya, saw how he played and behaved and spoke he knew that he was crushing. Hard. But in his confidence in his own sexuality, he had very little confidence in his gaydar or ability to hit on a guy successfully. Watari would talk non-stop about Noya, he’d talk about how he couldn’t wait for verse him again, about how cool his hair was and how he loved how energetic he was. Seijoh, while they admitted that it was cute how hard Watari was crushing, they reached a point where it was a tiring. A little bit.“Just ask him out, what’s the worst that could happen?” Iwaizumi tried his best to reason with him“He could say no!”Iwaizumi tried to encourage him but was always met with the same response, which he never really had a good answer for. He couldn’t really say ‘well that’d suck’ and shrug his shoulders, could he?The others were trying their hardest too, Hanamaki and Matsukawa were giving him advice on how to sneakily gauge his level of interest. They suggested ‘totally not dates’ and terrible pick up lines with meanings that could change depending on Noya’s response. Watari didn’t have the confidence to try that so he didn’t.Oikawa would give him advice on how to seduce Noya, how to walk and talk in a way that would surely gain his interest if he weren’t interested already. Yahaba gently suggested he just get to know Noya more, text him or friend him on social media, that’d be the best way to figure out Noya’s feelings and give him the opportunity to ask him out.Even Kyotani gave his input, it basically boiled down to ‘tell him, if he rejects you then fuck him!’ but he tried none the less. Unfortunately, none of this ended up working as Watari was still too scared to try anything. Eventually they had had enough.“If we could get them to play truth or dare or spin the bottle, maybe they’d realise their feelings” Mattsun joked, and it really was just a joke, but Oikawa grabbed it with both hands ran with it anyway.“That could work, let’s get started~”
The last thing Karasuno expected was to be invited to a party by Seijoh, and had Oikawa not clearly stated the purpose of the party to Daichi they probably wouldn’t have gone. Naturally, they kept the true purpose of the party away from Watari and Noya, Noya was just excited to go to a party and Watari was excited to see Noya. They were none the wiser, as both teams made sure of. When Oikawa suggested spin the bottle Noya was more than eager to play. “I hope I can kiss Kiyoko!” He had proclaimed as he sat down, though his eyes shifted to Watari as he said it.When there was a decent enough circle Oikawa had grabbed the bottle, confidently placing it on the floor with a grin. “Who’s going first~?”Noya, naturally, volunteered to go first. He reached forward and grabbed the bottle, flicking it excitedly. Oikawa had placed the bottle on a bit of an incline on purpose and had maybe glued a weight into the lid, hoping that the weight would cause it to land on Watari. Everyone held their breath as the bottle spun, passing each of them again and again, slowing with each rotation. It crept past Daichi, past Oikawa and slowly landed on Watari. The two teams had cheered, Watari was blushing so dark and Noya was uncharacteristically flustered, but true to the game they leaned in. It was Noya that had closed the gap and Watari that had moved their bodies closer, this was not a kiss of two people forced to in a game, that’s for sure.
That was a month ago and both teams suffering was now at an end, Noya ran into Seijoh’s gym after practice and launched himself at Watari. The libero’s shared a kiss before holding hands and waving to the team.“See ya!” Noya called out before leading Watari out of the gym, neither expected the party to turn out how it did but both were than happy that it had.
