The third year graduation, the day you two went their separate ways. After having been together for almost all of high school, not knowing what was going to happen next led to a somewhat irrational fear and you preferred to end the relationship.

Atsumu would focus on volleyball and you on your own path. It didn't matter if it hurt at the beginning, goodbyes always hurt, although not all of them had hurt as much as this one.

Five years later you didn't expect to run into him again, but when you received Kita's invitation to a little friendly get-together for the whole team to talk a little you should have seen it coming. You used to be the team manager, and a great supporter, so obviously you would be invited.

You killed your nerves as best you could before arriving at Onigiri Miya, the team gathered at a large table. Suna saw you arrive and changed seats, leaving only the seat next to Atsumu free, great.

It's not like it was uncomfortable, but feeling Atsumu's warmth next to you again made you feel strangely comfortable, even as you tried to bury that feeling deep inside you. Atsumu was also somewhat affected, it's not like his sweaty hands or his slight stammering was suddenly so disguised. You still had the same effect on him.
