PROMPT: TEAM AZUMANE ASAHI/NISHINOYA YUU
Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

Re: PROMPT: TEAM AZUMANE ASAHI/NISHINOYA YUU
FILL: TEAM HAZUKI NAGISA / RYUUGAZAKI REI, G
In the days after Yuu's suspension, he pretended it didn't hurt. Like a reflex, his body still woke him up before sunrise for morning practice. Groggy and disoriented, hope bubbled sleepily in his chest at the idea of seeing Asahi-san--and then he remembered. The wiry boy's chest tightened, and before he could let himself feel even worse he threw himself out of bed and stomped to the bathroom to fix his hair.
He made himself breakfast and got out of the house as soon as he could, sporting his favorite "One Man Army" t-shirt. His father had left for work earlier that morning, but his mother was home today. Both of his parents were deeply upset at the news of his suspension and his mother was definitely not finished telling him how disappointed she was. Fortunately Yuu managed to slip out of the house while she was talking on the phone with a neighbor. Once safely outside, he exhaled deeply, relieved. But that knot in his stomach was still there.
He decided to go for a run. It would help keep him in shape until he could go back to volleyball, he reasoned. If I ever can go back, he thought briefly. He shook his head to clear it like a dog shaking off water. He thought of Ryuu, his best friend, who would definitely gloat if he thought he was the one in better shape when Yuu came back. Yuu would never let him have the satisfaction. Maybe if he went by the park he could play with the old ladies' team if he was polite enough. He wasn't sure yet how polite he was feeling today. He started jogging in a direction that led decisively away from Karasuno High School.
Running did not suit Nishinoya Yuu. It was boring. He liked to face things (people, volleyballs) head-on. He jogged at an easy pace, staring at the sidewalk. He passed a broken bottle and a memory came unbidden: the ornate vase shattering in the hallway at school. Asahi-san's face. Yuu grimaced. He began running faster on the sidewalk, going from a jog to a sprint. He almost knocked down a middle-aged man with a dog. Every step was the step before or after. Every step brought him back to that club room. Back to that hallway.
He would never forget that snap, the sound and the feeling of breaking the broom in half under his foot. Something inside of Yuu had broken too, to fight in this way with his ace, his friend his--something. Yuu had never really been able to pin down how he felt about Azumane Asahi. Friend, teammate, and something else strange and warm all melded inside of him when he thought of Asahi. Now all of that felt like something dark and poisonous in his bones.
Yuu slowed down a little when he noticed a large hill coming up on the path. He narrowed his eyes at it, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He tried to focus on what was in front of him, on the trees lining the path and the gentle breeze. No matter what, something always brought him back to Asahi, that idiot, why couldn't he understand? Yuu asked himself over and over.
He gritted his teeth and sped up again, up the hill, full of the anger and hurt the last few days had given him. The others would never understand, he realized. If he could, he would switch places with Asahi in a second, to take that pressure off of him. To somehow make him understand that he was not alone. Yuu slipped on a rock and almost fell down, but the it only put more fire in his steps. Each sole slapping on the path felt more like that fateful snap as he continued.
If Asahi did not understand how much Yuu needed him, the rest of the team wouldn't. This ache that would not go away no matter how much he worked his body, how could anyone know? How could anyone know how much it hurt to fight with the one he needed most?
Abruptly, Yuu reached the top of the hill, chest heaving. He wiped sweat and what may have been tears from his face. He felt his pulse in his throat. In that moment he knew if Asahi did not come back to the team, Yuu would never play volleyball for Karasuno again.
