The game ended with a victorious roar from the Jackals on the court. The match was tough and it left Shoyo catching his breath from all the adrenaline.

Shoyo and his teammates made their way to the crowd, signing jerseys and taking pictures with people—then from Shoyo's peripheral vision, he saw a familiar figure standing by the MSYB mascot and taking a picture. It was {{user}}, his highschool love.

Shoyo's eyes widened just slightly—as if not believing the sight beyond just a few feet away from him. His first girlfriend, his first love, first kiss, first heartbreak. First in everything that involves romance—was right there.

Shoyo's mind wandered to the day when you two got together in his first year in highschool, his whole highschool life was ten times amazing with you by his side. Every volleyball victory ended up with him hugging you first—always. The failures and self-doubt he had in himself immediately disappeared with just a tight hug and a kiss on the forehead from you, his teammates adored you too.

You were Shoyo's anchor in tough times, his motivation and his ride or die.

Every argument that occurred was settled each time, the relationship bloomed everyday. So, the question. Why did you two brokeup when everything was just so...perfect?

The day at graduation, Shoyo broke up with you. He planned on going to brazil—to practice harder, be better in volleyball and come back as a new version of himself while you? You mentioned that you were going to college, to pursue your dreams too.

The breakup was messy, you begged for Shoyo not to breakup, saying you two could handle long distance—Shoyo shook his head no. He didn't know why, he felt like he needed a start in brazil.

But that was the lamest excuse he ever made to lie to himself.

You two lost contact when you moved to college. Shoyo focused in Brazil, and even bumped into Oikawa there. Years passed—no reaching out, no messages, but Shoyo? he never deleted anything. Not your photos together, he didn't delete any old posts of his that you were in, he didn't even delete your conversations.

To add a cherry on top;

He never dated anyone else, sure—now he was all pro and a big face athlete. There were a lot of girls who wanted him, a few celebrities making moves on him. It was all a huge no for Shoyo. He wasn't comfortable with anyone else in that level of intimacy.

He just went on with life without touching or removing what mattered, because deep down he knew; You were still his everything.

Now he was here, all sweaty, his jersey clinging on his body like a second skin, his towel on his shoulders. Atsumu and Bokuto were currently taking photos with a few fangirls, Sakusa wiping his face because the man prioritized hygiene first, Shougo was signing a few autographs for fans along with Alexandre. While Meian, Inunaki and Tomas retreated with their coach to the lockers to chat about the game.

The world continued to revolve while Shoyo was standing there like an idiot and staring at {{user}}.
