the crispness of the night was hugging you like a warm blanket. tingling sensations could be felt tiptoeing down your back which was clad with a coat.

at the dead of night, you had made your way to the entrance of a high school that you did not attend. the sun had gone to sleep and the moon had arisen to take its place in the endless sky.

the town which you currently resided in, lay soundly asleep. the residents had switched off all lights in their households causing the moon to be your only guide in this foreign trek.

for a minute, you thought that you should follow in the town's actions and sleep peacefully in your own familiar bed. the only issue with that was that when you woke up; you would face the unknown creature of death.

the volleyball team held your life like it was a string that could be cut at any point if you were to take a wrong step. the leader, holding the scissors, taunting you with it every second he could.

fear is what drove you here and the uncertainty which lay beyond the gates was the thing that was intimidating you into running away.

"(y/n), (y/n) can you hear me?"

you winced as the feedback from the earpiece resting in your ear came to life. the voice of the enforcer of the gang, iwaizumi, echoed in your sensitive eardrums.

"y-yes, i can hear you clearly."

"okay, your main objective is to swiftly pass the package to the members of karasuno with the least amount of commotion as humanely possible."

the team had not bothered in teaching you self defence prior to this. two days ago you did not even know this gang existed. you felt exposed, naked some would say.

life had plans in store for you and you were not too sure that you could say that you liked said plans. here you were, on a cold spring night, holding a rather hefty brown parcel in your numb hands.

you could see swirls of your breath flying with every exhale you released. the whiteness of the breath doing its own beautiful dance.

"so all i need to do is walk into the gymnasium, drop the package off and walk out again."

looking down at the package, many questions formulated inside your head. you were filled to the brim in anxiousness and you felt like you could throw up the contents of your inside despite this being a relatively simple task.

it was not complex however you were more fearful of the fact that you were alone. no one to defend you if there were to be trouble, no one to rescue you if you were to come in harm's way.

"oh and (y/n),"

iwaizumi's voice was oddly comforting and soft to hear, it was like he could sense that you were afraid.

"yes,"

"you aren't by yourself by the way, in case you forgot oikawa and i are here along with a few others. we are on the outskirts of the school so if anything were to happen we are here."

to say that you were mildly relieved is an understatement, you were elated knowing that the team had not just left you to be eaten by a pack of wolves. surprisingly, the presence of the volleyball team, who you used to scare you at the thought, was reassuring and gave you the strength to go through with your job.

"iwa-chan~ you weren't supposed to tell her."

all of a sudden you heard the distinct whiny voice of oikawa in the background. even though it looked like that oikawa was wanting to gain joy at the expense of your fear; you found it quite amusing and rolled your eyes. oikawa really did have a childish heart.

"sorry for that (y/n), someone is throwing a strop, it seems to be past the highness' bedtime."

"just because we are two feet apart does not give you the right to disrespect me."

oikawa seemed to have taken the comment very personally and was now had an agenda to have a battle of verbal abuse with iwaizumi.

"maybe you should stop trying to pursue your selfish wishes and focus on the task at hand."

"you are one to talk, you're the one spending time talking rather than ensuring the safety of your beloved (y/n) who you seem so eager to protect."

"my my my, is oikawa jealous~"

a burst of laughter was audible. it was your sweet, honey laugh. listening to the bickering between the two males had caused you to forget about any stress that you were carrying on your shoulders; you felt an ease that you had not felt in a while.

maybe these guys were not too bad after all.

"sorry (y/n), we got a bit sidetracked.

we just received information that the members of karasuno are ready for the transaction. on your signal will we ready ourselves and you will enter the premises."

it was unexpected and maybe you should not allow you to feel this optimistic with the situation that you were currently in but you had never felt more ready or empowered.

"i'm ready."

upon saying that, you started to walk calmly towards the gates. pushing them gently, you entered the school and allowed your teammate to guide you to the gymnasium.

within a quick few minutes, you were able to spot the indoor lights illuminating karasuno's sports hall. everything was going according to plan and if things kept going this way then you were going to be done fairly soon, thankfully.

the school was similar to yours and it felt as though you were walking up the steps of your own school if the circumstances were different.

you felt déjà vu as you stepped into the gym. the bright lights blinded you and you brought your hands up as you tried to adjust to the new surroundings.

you scanned the room and it seemed like any regular volleyball practice room would be. the posts were still up and the balls were scattered everywhere like the participants were too lazy to clean up after themselves.

regardless of the normality of the room, something seemed off.

the room felt abandoned,

you recalled oikawa saying that the captains of karasuno would be there.

however,

there was nobody.

"hey, iwaizumi, there's no one here should i-"

you did not manage to get much more out before your vision became blurred.

you lost touch with reality.

the world darkened and no longer could you feel the stable ground beneath your feet.
