Cobwebs.

Cracking walls.

Shadows.

You clearly remembered how humid and dark the inhibited house was.

A big hole displayed on the ceiling through the second floor and the roof shoots sunrays into the nature owned house adding more creeps as you tried to look for a way out.

You were absolutely terrified over what happened.

You were just calming your breaths, since you were always quarantined and you rarely excercise.

You wear a mask and put on sunglasses and a hoodie , running behind Koushi and your mom.

Until you looked up and they weren't there anymore.

You tried to look around to the nearest path and appeared near a house only to check in it and locked as the wind pulled and broke the door hinges.

The kind of fear that you felt that day as a kid....

Were nothing like this.

["Are....?" A soft voice emanated behind a wall , sending intant shivers to the girl in mask and glasses.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

The scream successfully sent a painful ringing at the brunette lil boy.

But not just him.

The spikey haired boy with a beetle catcher net ,clasped on his ears tightly as he peeked over who has his annoying bestfriend found.

"Huh...? A little girl..?"

He sighed , raised an eyebrow at the little girl shivering almost peeing herself.

"Aishh....i thought it's the securities..." the brunette shrugged at his spikey haired friend , who has a bandage on his nose.

"You dumbass , look what you have done! You made the little girl cry!!" The one with bandage slapped the brunette on the back , putting down his net and approached the little girl as the brunette screeches in dramatic agony in the back.

The girl's little squeak as she skidded back is enough for the spikey head to understand that she's frightened.

[Damn it , Kusokawa..]

"H-Hey , it's alright , we're sorry for suprising you," he tried his best getting her trust , approaching her slowly while the brunette just pouted on his spot.

"Iwa-chan , you're the one scaring her!!"

"No u!"

"She's scared of your face , you make it worse!!"

The girl let out another squeal as the spike head threw his net at the brunette as a threat.

The spike head sighed , kneeling down to get to her eye level.

"Hey , are you lost [bby gorl lmao--] ? How could you get here...?" The spike head patted the girl's shoulder , who seemed to try her best not to pee right then and there.

The girl nodded , sniffing.Her hand gripped on her hoodie while her other hand lifted her glasses and wiped her tears.

But seems like she forgot the main reason why she wore sunglasses.

The spike head and brunette jolted away as they saw her red ruby eyes brimmed with tears , glazed under the sunray.

"Wait-- is that...red eyes...? Like..red eyeball...?" The brunette gasped.

"I believed it called something like iris..." the spike head inspected the girl's eyes in alert.

"But how come..?"

"Hell..." the brunette approached." That's hella cool!!"

"I have never seen one.." the spike head tried to hold the brunette back , changing his attention back to the worried girl.

"What's your name..?"

The girl can't decide whether she should say her full name or not.

[Papa told me not to talk much to strangers..]

The girl fidgeted , trying to think out what to say as her anxiety acted up.

"[N-N-N/n....]"

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Dark.

["Who..?"]

Humid.

["Duh...."]

../n..

..f/n.

..F/N!!

["It's clearly her , dumbass,"]

Her sharp inhale broke out the other's worried silence , eyes all closed in relief while Nishina hold her bestie's head on her lap although they are sitting on mattresses since they were in sports equipment room.

["Kurokasu Akino,"]

Before anyone could say anything, [F/n] hold out her palm and sighed.

"Did i really...black out..? Seriously?"

Nishina sighed as she helped her bestie sit back up.Her orbs stared back at [F/n]'s before stealing some glances on the two first years who admitted themself as someone who knows the girl who bullied [F/n] in the past and the girl who indirectly bullied her right in her first year after 7 years of homeschooling.

Painfully , she sat away from [F/n] , glancing at Koushi.

"Yes, you did.Is it that shocking? Just who is this bitch anyway?" Nishina cracked her knuckles , ears expecting a quick answer that'll send her dashing around the school looking for the person if someone don't hold her back.

"..it's pretty suprising because i was always calm around her ,like...i don't know , she's just different..? I felt something wrong just currently , she's showing out some unpleasant hints.." [F/n] groaned , falling back to the mattress covering her face.

The room fell into deep silence.

They're still in the equipment room , 15 minutes since she fainted.Volleyball training should have ended in 5 minutes.

"It's Kurokasu-san...." koushi sat silent on his chair , caressing his chin with dissapointed bore."i didn't expect that."

He glared sharply at his twin.

"What else you didn't tell me..?"

This is it.

Koushi's going to squeeze out all informations i knew all along.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?!!"

The white and tosca crowd gathered behind their coach , eyes racing to the loud event happening in the locker room.

Their coach , who's furious , entered the room and hit the two caught boys in the locker room.

Kuu: No , they are not doing that , ladies.Keep your imaginations in leashes.

Matsukawa  and Hanamaki , other third years , gawked at the sight welcoming them.

The childhood friends are on the floor , with bruises on cheeks and arms , as well a big purple swelling mark on their captain's cheek.

Their fists are pulling each others collar, teeth gritted and their belongings scattered over the lockers and benches.

Oikawa  seemed enraged as well , while Iwaizumi seemed more of dissapointed.

"EVERYBODY BACK TO PRACTICE!! IWAIZUMI AND OIKAWA , MEET ME IN TEACHER LOUNGE AFTER CLUB!"

Iwaizumi sent a glare at the brunette's direction before gathering his belongings and followed their coach.

Oikawa grew an irk mark.

"I am definitely not going to talk to him anymore after this..!!"

▪︎☆▪︎☆▪︎☆▪︎☆▪︎

"Iwa-chaaaaaan~~~!!" Some girls and club students who passed giggled or muffled their laugh at the famous vbc captain.

His arms wrapped itself of the spike head third year's waist , his body pulled on the school's deserted yard since they left the teacher lounge until , now , near the school gates.

If it wasn't because of their Coach's still lingering glare on them from the teacher lounge's window , Iwaizumi would have yeeted Oikawa's annoying ass across the yard.

"Iwa-chaaaaan! Talk to me?! What's my fault??! Iwa-chaaan!!!" Oikawa keeps pestering the shorter male , who suddenly kicked him away right after they dissapear behind the school fence.

"You dumb horny fxck! You still haven't got a clue ?! I swear Trashkawa , you weren't like this back then," Iwaizumi massaged his forehead , glaring at the brunette who stays on the ground , looking up with confusion.

"....you know Iwa-chan , you'll look way too old if you keep--"

°●°●°●°●°●°

"That's why,  Mrs.Oikawa," Iwaizumi  finally ended his 2 minutes rant on his bestfriend's mother whom he's close with , both standing in front of the Oikawa family's house."I'm sorry for the trouble,"

Mrs.Oikawa laughed it off , like it's something that happened everyday.
"It's alright , i'll give him a hell of lectures later.Can you please...help me get him in?"

She pointed at her unconcious son , draped on the spike head's shoulders.

"Of course ,"

Iwaizumi walked in and put the annoying brat on the couch , with his mother behind him.

「"Dangit Iwa-chan??! [N/n]?!" Oikawa rised from his spot on the floor , wiping the smeared blood on his lip.

"You forgot what you had done to [N/n]?! We are friends and all but then you made a mistake and your fangirls bullied her!! Just like this!" Iwaizumi yelled , letting all his anger out.

"You liked her , but you don't match her! If you really liked [N/n]  you should have protected her at all cost!! You have aggressive fangirls since then! If you can't protect her , then move on! You were just hurting her!!" Iwaizumi sent a bag flying at Oikawa.

Oikawa is mad.

"I'm not liking her!! I'm just giving out my time because i pity her!!!" Oikawa spat out.

"If you really liked [N/n] , then get her!! My life has got nothing to do with you!! I do whatever i want!!!" Oikawa screamed again , Iwaisumi staring at him like his crazy.

"I'LL HIT YOU UNTIL YOU REALIZE YOUR MISTAKE!!"」

I

waizumi shook his head , trying to shoo away the earlier fight scene.

"Hajime, is there...something...disturbing Tooru lately..?"  She approached , sitting on the counter chair near.

Iwaizumi glances at Tooru.

Something's bothering him..? There's no way it's about the profile pic stuff.He's heartless in this kind of matter anyway.

With a shrug , he turned back to Mrs.Oikawa.

"I'm not really sure.Has he ever told you anything..?" He sat on the floor next to Tooru , politely declining when Mrs.Oikawa offered him a glass of water.

"How do i say this..lately , he has been looking for someone at social media platforms.He said something about looking for someone familiar," Her statement sent shivers on Iwaizumi.His mouth gaped.

"Did...did he mention who..?"

Mrs.Oikawa sipped on water once more , rubbing her chin.

"Recalling....someone called [N/n],"

Iwaizumi almost snapped his neck turning to the unconcious teenager on the couch.

He still cares about the girl.

Trashykawa's not entirely a bastard , not entirely.

Then he remembers that...right?! Then why isn't he doing anything about that Karasuno manager?!

Iwaizumi yelled , suprising the elder who almost spilled her water.

"Could you tell me more..???!"

Your POV

Going home from school was never a good feeling except for that minutes of ending lesson bell.

And it became an absolute hell with the current situation.

It's Kurokasu Akino.

The third year you felt calm with at first was the witch beyond all this mess.

You thought she was just going to be good manager fellows with you and Shimizu..

But no.

"Devil's created to suffer..right?"

You should have known since then.Her knowing gaze all over your disguised orbs and that uncomfortable smirk---

You quickened your pace , faster than Koushi who appears to also spacing out to realize your change of attitude.

Only when you kicked rocks around and kicked one to Koushi's ankle , that he snapped out of it.

"Hey wait!!!"

☆°☆°☆°

"Oh , you're home early--" their mother greeted from the kitchen , swinging her spatula on the air.Her senses noticed the heavy air around her twin children as they passed the living room and goes upstairs.

"...what happened?"

Belt.

Bowtie.

Vest.

Skirt.

Each fell to the floor with a soft thud , filling the dark silent room.

Eventually you opened the closet and grabbed whatever caught your eyes first-- white oversized T-shirt and a pair of [F/c] shorts.

You kicked the closet closed and threw yourself on the bed , reminiscing under the moonlight penetrating through the small gap of your curtains.

You have homeworks for tommorow and stuff , but you're not in mood.

What am i waiting for..? It's Kuroka , i've found the source.

...am i scared?

You drowned your face on your cold blanket.

..i am scared.

What should i do? Approach her right at the hallway yelling and telling the truth to everybody in public?

No , i got no guts to.

Koushi knew too.

There's gotta be something else...another way.But how? Reporting this to the dean? He'll report this to mom.

Ask help from the volleyball team? No , i'll be a burden.

It's personal problem , not theirs.

I've told Koushi everything.

Everything.

And since we left school , he looks burdened and scared.

And mad.

This is why i wanted to solve this myself.

You kicked out your legs , stretching them.Your room seems too cold like a jail , humid as if slowly killing you.

It feels like...

You want to go outside instead.

...

..huh..?

HUH?

You jumped out of your bed like a scrawny shocked cat , looking around in alert.

Hold on.

Me , a socially awkward and anxious person who's also phobia to crowds actually prefers going outside...?

You hold your forehead, expecting warm or hot temperature like a fever but instead , not.

When you were a kid , you always wanted to go outside , but stopped by your parents.Then you got comfortable alone.

..i've been quarantined here for 7 years...but i have never got this lonely.

It's like my first time getting quarantined.

You stared longingly at the door , finally seizing whatever hoodie lays on the floor before dashing downstairs and rides the bicycle.

Fresh air.

The night stars follows everywhere you go , as if supporting you , comforting you.

They give you courage and comfort.

The only reason your mother finally stops keeping you indoor is because she's afraid you won't be able to face future.

She realizes that afterall , the time will come when you"ll face to live alone.

..this is nice.

I should go cycling more often.

..i think it's--

"Sugawara..?"

SCREEEEEEEEEECHH

You almost lose your life , braking so suddenly you almost got yeeted*why am i like this*to the front.

You snapped your head to the guy a bit far from where you stood , a guy with lion shirt and chess patterned trousers which made you squint not because of the darkness , but because of how painful it was to see his outfit.

The guy from the Shiratorizawa VBC at the Anime Con.

"I...uh..hi..? You're Sugawara [F/n] , right? Or..am i wrong?" He approaches , revealing the bag of groceries he bought from nine-eleven.*heheh*

You froze on your place.

"Uh hi! Yes it's me..And you're the Semi Eita from Shiratorizawa that time , right?" You chimed , getting off the bicycle and led it with you.

"Yeah! Glad to see you here..! I was a bit confused since i have never seen you without cosplay attires but i have a quite sharp senses i immediately knew it's you," he chuckles , slowly sitting down on the nearest bench.

"Haha..yeah," you chuckled , sitting next to him.

It won't hurt to have a small chit chat...right??

And yes , you already wore your hazel soft lenses.

So u good.

"If I'm recalling correctly...you're Karasuno's manager , right? You're gonna go to the InterHigh , yes?" He digged his hand in his grocery bag and pulled out a soda can.

"Yes, i guess.Uh wait , no , you don't have to!" You flailed your arms as he offered another soda can.He laughed as he shoved it at your arms.

"C'mon, it's okay!" He opened his can and drank it , while you hesistantly opened the can , mumbling a small thank you.

This feels like some uncle and his niece reuniting and asking each other about life.

"Uh...so...you're not in a hurry right??" He shot up from his relaxing lean on the bench , settling back with a relieved sigh when you shook your head."Aah , I'm glad.School's suck...and fresh air seems pretty good..."

His eyes glanced for a second , enjoying the fresh breeze and the soothing atmosphere.He's right.Fresh air like this really shoots away negative thoughts and exhausted minds...

But even if it did shoo my negative thoughts away , my problem stays.I'm just reserving it away for next time.

"Is there something troubling you..?"

Took you all your mental strength not to scream in the middle of that night.

Yeah, you're just way too indulged in your thoughts to remember that the guy's still here.

"W-well not really..." your eyes glanced to him in a slight second , an idea popping to your head.

Yes , being a dumbass you are , you got the idea to ask for an advice from a complete stranger you only knew the name.

And school.

But it doesn't hurt to try , you know..

"You sure? You looked like you're about to get killed by the entire school,"

Haha yes , a little bit more and you'll hit on the jackpot.

You fidgeted on your seat , (bbq sauce on your ti--- F nO--) soda can sitting next to you and street lights showering both of you.

Ok , here you go.

"Wellll....okay i maybe have one..I'm about to get enemies from other schools in a night," you said it like a rap God.

*i am speed*

Semi sipped his soda.

"Wow really? That's coo---hOLD ON WHAT , that's nOT," he literally sprang away from the bench and put his soda on the bench in a hurry.His eyes twitched in disbelief as if you said something like 'im a man'.

"Nobody think that's cool,  Semi-san. I'm just going straight to the point.I did nothing , not my fault at all uh-huh , but a certain popular tras--i mean person from other school did a  mistake and now his fans are after me you see...and what's worse is someone that i once believed turns out to be the one who spread rumours about me at my own school.End of the explanation," you ended your rant and opened your eyes to see Semi choking on his soda.

He threw his soda can at the trashbin.

"Ok , first of all...who's the boy..?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Not telling," you shook your head.

He shrugged.

"Well alright, skip.What school he's from..?" He sat again next to you.

"...seijoh."

"...is it Oikawa."

"...how did you..?"

Semi slumped on his seat , looking up at the stars.

"I've heard rumours of his putting some random girl's photo at his social media platform and freaking his fans out.He didn't give any clear explanation about it and some fangirls in my school were after him and the girl.And it's...YOU???" He freaked out like a mom--flailing his arms and rubbing his forehead."Still hasn't  got a clue of what's the big deal , really,"

"..you're really tough for holding on this far,"

"I'm barely holding on,"

"Did you really get bullied lately?"

You sighed.

"Not much but yes , mostly verbally.The girls , of course.Spitting out physical insults ," you rambled , gritting your teeth.

With how supportive Semi sounds , you can finally feel your anger.

Real coward all this time , [F/n].

Semi shook his head.

"You shouldn't let them look down and insult you like that," he patted my shoulder.

"Those girls don't have any rights in the world to insult you , so cheer up,"

Flick.

Those girls don't have any rights in the world to insult you , so cheer up!!

Wait.

Where have i heard that...?

That line seems familiar.

But again....that's some common lines.All people can say that..

"Sugawara..?"

You snapped out of your trailing thoughts.

"H-Huh ..y-yeah??"

Semi seemed unconvinced.

He suddenly took your hands and put away your empty soda can to trashbin.

"Go on , ride on your bike.It's not good to keep all your anger inside , you know!" He chuckled and led you to  hop on your bike.

"Ehh??"

Suddenly Semi ran with his groceries..and your..phone?

"COME ON , COME AND GET ME!!!" he laughed as he ran , getting a headstart.

But you're on your bike, so 50/50?

"Heey!!!" You wasted no time to get your feet on paddles and cycled to the ash haired male , who turned out to be pretty fast for a runner.

"Come on, faster!" He laughed , stretching his arm away so you can't get your phone from your position.

"Hey quit it!!!!" You laughed , chasing him.

When you're right next to him , you got suprised by the view in front of you.

What's this? This street leads to the end of the hill?

Far in front of you , the view of city lights and the activities under the purple bluish starry sky amaze you.

You never knew there is something like this.

"SCHOOL SUUUUUUCKKSSSS!!!!!" Semi suddenly yelled , while still running.His gaze suddenly turned on you.

"Come on! Let it all out!!"

You gripped on your bike steer tightly , inhaling before letting your anger out.

"STOP BEING DUMB AND BELIEVING RUMOURS!!!!" you yelled with all your strenght , biking down the small hill while enjoying the breeze and starry sky watching from above.

Hell...this feels good!

"STOP BELIEVING MYTHS AND JUDGING EVERYTHING!!! STEP THE HELL UP !!" you yelled against the wind , Semi contently listening next to you while still running.

"THINK BEFORE DOING SOMETHING!! STOP BULLYING PEOPLE! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO JUDGE ME!!!" you yelled one last time , laughing at yourself.

"I'M GOING TO GET REVENGE , GET READY!!!!!"

You go , Sugawara-chan.

I wrote that last part with Koe no Katachi's hospital background song in mind i--

If it's not because of my neighbors , i would have done that.

Amazing feeling.
