Apparently Oblivious

Character: Yamato Reader: gender neutral Word Count: 1037 CW: fluff, oblivious Yamato, first kiss, post top surgery Yamato, reader is being very obviously horny for Yams but the text is wholly sfw A/N: raffle prize for @mysticaltigersorceress who asked for some oblivious himbo Yamato in front of some flirting :3 I hope the murder is successful :3

For a loud ball of enthusiastic chaos he’s so predictable it hurts. He’s sitting exactly in the same place as yesterday, and the day before, and even before, ever since he arrived on your island. As if he made this udon stall his home, he keeps returning around lunchtime, squeezing his huge body by the counter and cradling the bowl in his enormous hand. The bowl you’re barely able to hold with both hands.

The sight always has you weak in knees: he’s so big in every aspect of his body and personality, jarring and warm like the sun. Claiming to be a samurai of a legendary land of Wano, he looks like none you heard about them, resembling more a half-feral friendly spirit. Or a giant puppy, with this wild maze of white and blue hair. His body is full of scars, from wrists to two horizontal cuts across his wide chest, but his moves around you are gentle as if you were a noble, not a random person who keeps him company during lunch. You haven’t tested that—yet—but you bet he could fit your middle between hands and carry you around like a doll. Or sit you on one of his thick thighs so you could bury your face right between his pecs. 

And sometimes, when he smiles exceptionally wide, you can’t help but wonder how it would feel to graze his fang-looking canines with your tongue.

Even his name is attractive. Yamato. You like the way it sounds and tastes.

You’ve sworn to yourself that you would have this man yours at least once before he leaves the island.

“The usual?” Stall owner greets you and already reaches for the noodles. You nod and squeeze yourself by Yamato’s side, not without a little, subtle brush of hand against his knee. 

A polite man he is, he hunches to the other side. Of course.

“Y/N!” You like the way he speaks your name too, with that adorable vibrato of foreign accent and untamable enthusiasm. “Hi! How have you been? How is your day going?”

“Good.” And it would be even better if you finally made the puzzles in his head click. “And yours? What did you explore this time?”

“The ruins in the north.” He stuffs his mouth with noodles, his cheeks full much like a hamster's. Despite his fingers being enormously huge, he uses chopsticks with smooth precision. You would stare at his hands only for this reason if your attention wasn’t already swallowed by their sheer size. 

“Hey, doesn’t it take, like, a whole day just to get there?”

“Not for me. I’m fast!”

Oh, you have no doubt in it. Those muscled legs must turn him into a god of wind whenever he moves, even if he carries that gigantic club everywhere with himself. You saw him once swinging it around, so easily as if it was a little twig.

The weight of your body would mean nothing for him. Just a thought of it makes you shiver a little.  

“You’ve dozed off.” Yamato waves hand in front of your face. Hand much bigger than your face, currently heating up.

“Oh, sorry, maybe I don’t really feel that good,” you feign, leaning against him. This time he doesn’t dodge, quite contrary: lets you press close exactly where you aim. His bicep feels sooo good against your cheek, so soft and ready to flex. 

Stall owner rolls his eyes, places your udon in front of you, and retreats to the back. 

“Shit, should I call a doctor?” Yamato frowns, his gaze heavy and concerned. He leans over you and presses forehead against yours. Your heart skips a whole starved beat as you fight the urge to grab his horns. “You don’t have a fever. Good.”

“I don’t? But I feel like burning…” You fan yourself with a shirt, trying to angle yourself with his gaze. But his eyes do not wander down, towards the naked skin of your chest. Of course, he’s a good boy.

“Maybe it’s because of broth— Ah, no, you haven’t even started your udon.”

If you weren’t in public, you would jump onto his lap out of frustration.

“I will once it chills down enough. Maybe you will try for me—”

Before you can reach for your chopsticks, Yamato snatches some noodles with his own. So much for the sneaky plan of feeding him…

“Hot!” He hisses, adorably sticking the tip of his tongue out. Fanning himself with a hand, he looks around, frantically, for water or ice, anything—

Now or never.

One hand grabbing his shirt, you pull him close and dart your own tongue out. You brush it against his, putting all the yearning, willpower, and skill into shamelessly teasing him. It’s fast, short, and far from what could be called a kiss. But his face is tomato-red by the time you pull away.

“Here—” you smirk and hope for the best— “I kissed you better.”

Yamato’s eyes are wide open, as if on the verge of popping out, and his tongue still hangs out. Hands he reflexively put on your shoulders twitch, at times squeezing you harder and stirring thoughts of less innocent caliber.

“H-hey…” He can barely choke out without pulling the tongue back in, his easy-going, smooth demeanor gone in seconds. “That was…nice.”

“Would you like me to kiss you again?” You pull on the string without hesitation. Your target finally pulled on the bait—and you’re not losing the time on the game of blind cat and confused mouse.

He blinks. Comically slowly. And finally hides his tongue.

“R-right in front of—” His eyes shoot on side, right at the stall owner, who just waves off and bolts between boxes at the back, promising he can’t see anything and never could, of course. “Oh. Okay. Alright then?”

Ready to pull him in again you gasp in surprise when it’s him who makes the move: fast, smooth, and confident. Yamato’s big, warm hand—so close to your fantasies, yet so different—envelops your head with ease as he guides you in for the promised kiss.

And then he proves to you that his adorable innocence is the first of many false assumptions you’ve made about him.

Chunky Ajillo (Makes 4 Servings)

We bring you this recipe from our panel, “Anime Foodies: Laid-Back Camp Season 2”.

The main course for supper on the first night of the Izu camping trip in Episode 11 is another example of creating one dish and turning it into something else entirely (which seems to be a bit of a thing for this series if you recall Season 1’s sukiyaki).  This hearty dish made by cooking various vegetables and meats in seasoned olive oil is a play on a Spanish dish and, despite the name, can be readily made in a metal pot. 

The seasoned oil remaining after eating this dish will be used in the subsequent recipe for Alfonsino Acqua Pazza Pasta, so do not discard this if you’ll be making that dish.  If you won’t be, the oil is phenomenal with some crusty bread.

1 1/3 Cups – Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 1/2 Heads – Garlic

2-3 – Fresh/Dried Togarashi Peppers (Fresh/Dried Chile de Arbol)

2 TSP – Japanese-Style Herb Salt

1/2 Cup – Chinese Eggplant

1/3 Cup – White Button Mushrooms

1/3 Cup – Shimeji Mushrooms (White Button Mushrooms)

1/3 Cup – Octopus Tentacles (Squid Tentacles)

1/3 Cup – Japanese-Style Wieners (Hot Dogs)

1/3 Cup – Medium Shrimp

1/3 Cup – Baby Corn

1/3 Cup – Red Bell Pepper

1/3 Cup – Orange Bell Pepper

1/3 Cup – Chinese Yam

1/3 Cup – Broccoli

1 TSP – Kosher Salt

1 1/2 TSP – Black Pepper

2 TSP – Dried Parsley

Wash and peel the Chinese yam, cut into bite-sized pieces, parboil for 3 minutes, and drain.

Cut broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, parboil for 2 minutes, and drain.

Put these together in a zip-top bag to take to the campsite.

Once on-site, get all the garlic cloves out of their paper – halving any particularly large ones – and then chop the eggplant, white button mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, octopus tentacles, Japanese-style wieners, shrimp, baby corn, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper into bite-sized pieces and cover until needed.

Finely mince 5-7 cloves of garlic and finely chop the chilies into rounds.

Place your pot over low heat and add the minced garlic, chilies, and herb salt and cook for 10 minutes or until the oil is very fragrant.

Raise the heat to medium-low, add the eggplant, white button mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, and the remaining whole garlic cloves, and cook for 10-15 minutes or until a fork passes easily through the pieces of eggplant.

Add the octopus, shrimp, Japanese-style wieners, baby corn, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, Chinese yam, and broccoli and cook for 4-6 minutes or until the shrimp has finished cooking through.

Once the shrimp is cooked, cut the heat, and add the salt, pepper, and dried parsley.

Eat directly out of the pot or served into individual bowls while making sure you save the leftover oil for the next recipe.

Optional/Notes:

We used a standard Dutch oven which is a little bigger than the donabe the kids used, hence the slightly larger amount of oil than they mention in the show to ensure the ingredients were covered.

If you do not have access to a Japanese-style herb salt, our recipe for one can also be found on our Tumblr page here.

The vegetables/meats are measured in rough cup-sized measures based on what worked for getting a reasonable amount of food in the pan after the different ingredients were chopped.  As these ingredients are not conducive to fitting in cups per se, don’t be too picky if you get too much or too little. 

For some extra oomph to your oil, feel free to use some extra virgin olive oil instead of one hundred percent plain olive oil.

For more tender octopus, omit from Step 8, cook the other ingredients for 3 minutes, and then add the octopus for 3 minutes to make sure it’s just cooked by the time you’re finished.

If you won’t be saving the oil for something else, some crusty bread to soak it up would not be remiss.

[theonlinemuse]

In honour of the Elena of Avalor episode “Festival of Lights”, In Each Retelling has decided to post a Bonus Blog recipe for the bimuelos (also known as buñuelos, birmuelos, bermuelos, burmuelos, bunyols, bonuelos or even bougnettes depending on which version you grew up with) that were featured in the episode.

We’re specifically sharing a Cuban version of the recipe where they’re shaped like figure eights in honour of Princess Rebecca’s voice actress, Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

Bimuelos with Anise Syrup

— (adapted from The New York Times Cooking by Ana Sofía Peláez and Christina Morales)

FOR THE SYRUP

1 cup granulated sugar

1 whole star anise

1 cinnamon stick

1 (3-inch) strip lime peel

1 tablespoon lime juice

FOR THE BIMUELOS

½ pound peeled yuca (cassava), cut into 1-inch pieces, or precut frozen yuca

¼ pound peeled boniato (sweet potato), cut into 1-inch pieces

¼ pound peeled malanga (taro), cut into 1-inch pieces

¼ pound peeled ñame (Jamaican yam), cut into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon whole anise seeds

¼ pound peeled calabaza (pumpkin or other winter squash), cut into 2-inch pieces

3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

3 large eggs, beaten

2 cups canola oil

PREPARATIONS

Step 1

Prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups water, granulated sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick and lime peel, and bring to a boil over medium high, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to a simmer, then cook until the mixture is thin and syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Off the heat, add the fresh lime juice. Let the syrup cool while you make bimuelos.

Step 2

Make the bimuelos: To a medium or large heavy pot, add the yuca, boniato, malanga, ñame, salt and anise seeds and enough cold water to cover. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the calabaza and cook, covered, until all the vegetables are tender, but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes more, then drain in a colander.

Step 3

While the vegetables are still warm, press the vegetables through a ricer or food mill onto a large lightly floured surface or bowl. Form the mixture into a big mound, then make a well in the center. Pour the eggs into the well and use your hands (it will be sticky) to fully combine. Sift 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, over the dough and knead after each addition until it forms a smooth, soft dough that holds together. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons more flour if needed for the dough to come together.

Step 4

Cut the dough into 14 equal pieces, and transfer to a clean work surface. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope about ½-inch-thick. Moisten one end of the rope with a little water, shape it into a figure eight, then press the ends together. Transfer to a sheet pan lightly dusted with flour.

Step 5

In a 10-inch skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high until it reaches 375 degrees. If you don’t have a deep-fry thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping in a bit of dough. If the oil is hot enough, it will float to the top right away. Working in batches of 2 or 3 (don’t crowd the pan), carefully add the bimuelos to the oil, and fry until they are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Spoon the syrup over the bimuelos and serve.

Serves 14 in total.

TIP

If using fresh yuca root, chop off each end and cut it into manageable pieces—yuca is very hard, so be careful. Use a knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the outer bark and the white, waxy layer beneath. Remove the woody core in the center before boiling. If using frozen yuca, remove the woody stem after the vegetables are drained in Step 2.

Sushi!!! I love sushi! What kinds your favorite!!!

Okok anonnie I'm just gonna. Use this as an opportunity to talk about all the food I got at the restaurant- nawt just sushi. Ok? Ok.

Food rambles under the cut in case you, dear viewer *points 🫵* do nawt want a longer post on your dashboard. Which is reasonable! :3

Okay,, so I got a LOT of food because the all you can eat is expensive and you gotta make the most out of it, y'know? So I got miso soup (a classic, delicious, idk what I did for them to nawt put any seaweed in my soup which is how it's normally served. and how aquadad got his bowl. but hey it's cool it was the end of the day so I get being tired), a lot of sashimi (salmon, salmon tataki and herring. delicious. 10/10. would have for lunch basically every day it's so good), some deep fried scallops (served w some mayo and they're one of my favorite things ever), banana and shrimp maki (if you think that sounds weird and/or like sacrilege, you would nawt be the first! but tasty food is food I shall eat. so. if anybeing happens to ever offer you banana and shrimp sushi and you don't want it I will magically appear, eat it and vanish. you are welcome.), and finally shrimp and yam tempura (one of my few sensory "YESS"-es instead of the typical "NOO"-s) soo.. erm. maybe that gives a good look at the kind of stuff I like? I also like normal sushi I prommy I just don't go to that restaurant very often so I like to try the less common things, ig? For dessert I had a scoop of green tea ice cream, a fried banana and three super Oreos (which are basically just tempura-d. is that a word. Oreos.. they're served with whipped cream and they're SO good. It's a good thing I do nawt have access to them otherwise or they'd be like 70% of my diet HDUAJFHSIDHSJ)

#➳ the fool speaks #like one of these things is actually sushi but shhhh it's ok let's ignore that and focus on how delicious the food was

Jujusanpo #8

They go to Sendai! Itadori eats too much and get stomachache even though they have mission. Title is “Business trip to Sendai”. Translation under the cut.

Itadori (I) : “Ooh, after long time not going home, this place is nostalgic after all. I’m home, I’m home, I’m home… Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home…”

Kugisaki (K): “Oi, Itadori…”

I: “See? Just like I said, it’s like Tachika—”

K: “Roundhouse kick! How can there are two Parco?!”

I: “Whaat?”

K: “This place is too urban! Never say that you are from countryside again!”

I: “It’s not a countryside! That’s why I said this place looks like Tachikawa when we went there!”

K: “Uugh”

I: “Eh? What is it?”

K: “Nothing here really feels like ‘City of Trees’ (1). This place is just Tachikawa.”

I: “I said only in the front of station. If we walk out a little bit, you can actually feel the ‘City of Trees’. Sendai is a good place, you know.”

K: “What are doing? Boasting? Don’t act like you are city people.”

I: “Then what should I do…?”

K: “By the way, where’s Fushiguro? Is he lost?”

I: “Huh? Now that you say it, he’s not here.”

K: “Oi, look over there. He’s alone messing alone with his phone. Is he playing erotic game?”

Fushiguro (F): “No, I’m not. I’m looking for beef tongue restaurant.”

I+K: “Beef tongue restaurant.”

F: “Didn’t you guys said you want to eat it?!”

I: “O-oh. My bad. You’re right.”

K: “So?”

F: “Ha?”

K: “Did you find the beef tongue restaurant?”

F: “I found it.”

K: “Why are you getting angry?”

F: “You should understand at least that! By the way Itadori, aren’t you one of locals? Don’t you know any restaurant?”

I: “Uhh… I didn’t really eat out a lot…”

K: “Locals actually don’t eat out that much, right? So, how about that restaurant?”

F: “For now, let’s go inside the station. The restaurant is called ‘Gyuutandoori’. It seems to be a famous restaurant and a lot people goes there.”

K: “Eeh? Isn’t better to go to other place that isn’t for tourist? I want to go around the city and feel the ‘City of Trees’ atmosphere!”

F: “Tch. I thought you’d be like that. How about here?”

K: “Ooh, a restaurant founded in ’52..”

I: “Aah, I know this place. It’s famous among the locals.”

K: “The restaurant that said to be the first to started business and the ancestor of beef tongue. Hm. Nice. Then, it’s decided.”

I: “Yes, let’s go!”

. . .

I+K+F : “Let’s eat!”

I: “Delicious! Is this a lie? Is beef tongue really taste this good?”

F: “Even if you say it, I don’t care.”

K: “The strip is fine, the smokiness too, this is a perfect beef tongue. On top of it, it’s simple salt taste.”

I: “Uh oh. I think I can eat twenty bowls of rice with this.”

F: “If you eat too much, you won’t be able to do the mission.”

I: “I’m coming to the mission, too! It’s alright!! Excuse me, seconds please!”

K: “By the way, why is it beef tongue goes with barley rice? It does also come with yam…”

F:  “After the war, when the American army left Sendai, beef tongue and tails was left to the Japanese to be used. For that reason, beef tongue and tail soup were made into a set meal. After that, there was food shortage and white rice was substituted by barley rice.”

I: “The first person to thought of eating beef tongue was a genius.”

K: “The soup and soup stock are nice, it also has meat.”

F: “The misokatsu (2) also seems to be famous.”

K: “I also want to taste the one with strong taste but…”

I: “Well, since we took the trouble to come here, why don’t we try it?”

K: “If you eat too much and can’t move later, I‘m not taking care of you.”

I: “I told you, it’s alright! Excuse me, one misokatsu set meal, please.”

K: “The set meal? Fushiguro, what about the next restaurant?”

F: “Huh?”

K: “Since we took trouble to get here, let’s go to Sendai sweets, too!”

F: “Google it yourself!”

. . .

I+K: “Ooh, three colors!”

F: “This shop was founded during Meiji era, the three-colored mochi with zunda(3), sesame, and walnut fillings is famous.”

K: “If we’re talking about Sendai sweets, it can only be zunda mochi. Zunda is edamame, right? Why do you think sake snack(4) is made into sweets?”

F: “I don’t know.”

I: “But you somehow always end up telling us. Fushiguro is really kind.”

F: “It doesn’t matter if you end up not listening.”

K: “What is that, are you saying I never listen when you are telling me stuff?”

F: *ignore her, eating* “Hmm.. this walnut tastes good.”

K: “Listen to me! Anyway the right way is to eat the zunda first.”

I: “Hm. Hm. The sesame mochi is good too!”

K: “Oi!”

I: “Eat quickly, Kugisaki. Otherwise we won’t be able to go to the next shop.”

K: “Haa? You still want to eat?”

I: “Since we took the trouble to come here. I never eat a lot of local specialties. Oh! There’s also oshiruko (5)! Excuse me, one oshiruko please!”

F: “Kugisaki, you said you wanted to enjoy Sendai gourmet too, right? Just eat it already. We’re running out of time.”

K: “I’m eating!” *eating* “Zunda tastes delicious. The edamame is good, don’t look down on edamame’s potential.” *gulp* “Yosh! Next!”

I: “Wa-wait, I’m still— I’m squeezing it—”

. . .

K: “Eh? Why cold noodles?”

F: “Cold noodles seems to come from Sendai.”

I: “Eeeh?”

K: “You really don’t know a thing about locals. By the way, the place where cold noodle comes from… it keeps getting farther from ‘City of Trees’ feelings.”

I: “Um. Cold noodles is delicious! This taste good! Excuse me, gyoza and shumai, and Mappo too please.”

K: “How much are you eating?”

I: “Well, we ate sweets before? Now that we eat something salty, I’m getting hungry again.”

F: “You… you are really going to hurt yourself when we get to the mission.”

K: “Usually people choose three types.”

I: “I said it’s alright! Don’t underestimate my strength.”

K: “I don’t care.”

F: *sigh* “This cold noodles… eaten with sesame sauce is the most delicious.”

K: “As expected.”

F+K: *eating*

. . .

F: “Oi, Itadori. Oi, what are you doing?! We’re going to be late to mission!”

I: “Sorry.. wait a minute… I ate too much after all…”

F: “I told you so. How stupid can you be?!”

K: “Trying to hold back from buying and eating but finally gives in huh.”

I: “That last Kikufuku zunda with fresh cream now felt unnecessary. Mochi is dangerous— This is the first time in my life my stomach feel this full.”

K: “I thought you are an idiot, but I don’t know your stupidity goes this far.”

F: “I never saw an idiot like this.”

K: “Too stupid.”

I: “Don’t call me stupid too much.”

F+K: “What goes around comes around, stupid!”

(end)

(1)   City of trees (Mori no miyako) is Sendai city’s nickname (2)   Misokatsu : cutlets seasoned with miso (3)   Zunda : edamame cream. The one recommended and bought by Gojo when they went to Yuuji’s school lol. (4)   Sake snack : the snack eaten with sake when drinking. Edamame is a staple drinking snack. (5)   Oshiruko : red bean soup served with mochi

Chapter is short compared to the others.

Tag list; @Intoomanyfandom-s @thebloodrobin @hecatemacbeth7 @badasspolygenderfriend @writeroutoftime

Story list; Chapter 1 , Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 ,

. . .

“I don’t understand. Explain again to me what the difference between this day and every other day in America?”

You look up from where you bounced Dante on your lap, eyes watching as Sherloque threw his hands in the air and faced Cisco with confusion,

“It’s a holiday when we all get together and celebrate and eat a ton of food,” Cisco tries to explain, “Like, a gross amount,”

“Hey guys!” Caitlin greets, and you smile, lifting Dante’s hand to wave so he giggled, sticking his fist into his mouth, “What’s going on?”

“This man is trying- and failing- to explain the meaning of this holiday,” Sherloque scoffs, “Please, explain,”

“It’s very simple, Sherloque,” You sigh, standing up to curl an arm under Dante and prop him on your upper hip, “We all get together to spend the day with our loved ones and family,”

“Simple to you,” Sherloque points, “I have no family,”

“Didnt you have seven marriages?” Cisco questions,

“Did,” Sherloque states, “Five wives, seven marriages- no family. This holiday is a cruel holiday,”

You frown as Sherloque moves to walk out of the cortex, Dante babbling and reaching out, Cisco allowing Dante to grab a small fistful of his hair,

You look up when the alarm begins to blare, Dante flinching against the loud noise and hiccuping so you tucking him under your chin, moving to the control panel beside Caitlin to see where the pin pointed location, “What’s going on?”

“I’m seeing a large electrical surge at the downtown power station,”

“Barry, Nora,” Iris calls to the mics, “You’re up,”

You bite your lip and look down, pressing a kiss to the side of Dante’s head as you step back,

“Y/N,” Cisco squints his eyes after Barry and Nora had completed the task- resulting in Barry dying and Nora having to revive him- your eyes flicking up from where you stared at the floor, “You alright?”

You lick your lips and turn in your chair to rock Dante to sleep, shaking your head, slightly, “I don’t think my powers are going to come back,”

Caitlin furrows her brows, stepping up next to Cisco, “You haven’t allowed your body to fully heal from child birth, Y/N,”

“It’s been two weeks,” You exhale, and shrug enough to not disturb Dante, “Nora said my powers came back right after I gave birth,” A pause, “I don’t think the labor itself is what caused it- I just have this feeling that, my speed is completely gone,”

“Would you, like for me to run tests?” Caitlin asks, and you look down, Cisco extending his hands so you could stand up, passing Dante to him silently,

. . .

“I don’t see any dark matter traces in your cells,” Caitlin leans against her desk with a frown, glancing over to where you sat on the bed and sucked in a deep breath, “Nora was wrong. I don’t think your powers will come back,”

“It’s the time change,” Barry sighs, looking over to future Dante, “For all we know, you in the later future could end up not having speed,”

“Not necessarily,” Caitlin corrects, “Those powers came from Y/Ns bloodstream to Dante’s, so, yes Y/N lost hers completely, but Dante still inherited them,”

“So it’s settled,” You mumble, Cisco frowning when you push off the bed and clap your hands, quietly, “I’m powerless. For good,”

“I’m sorry, Y/N,” Caitlin frowns, too, and you press your lips together,

“So many things are changing,” Nora exhales, arms crossed, “Because of us,”

“No, don’t blame yourself,” Barry pleas,

“How can we not?” Dante asks, brows pinched, “Because we arrived- Cicada came early, mom went into labor early because Cicada attacked, mom lost her powers because she went into labor, it’s a domino effect!”

“And dad disappears in Crisis earlier than originated,” Nora continues, Barrys face falling as he looks to you, where your brows furrowed in firm confusion,

“You what?”

“Oh, schrap!” Nora winces, “Sorry! I-I’m gonna go,”

“No, Barry,” You hold up a hand, “What is she talking about,”

Cisco sighs, eyes shutting as his hand runs up baby Dante’s back, “When Barry disappears in Crisis, he never comes back even twenty five years later,”

“You knew?” You point, shaking your head, “This is too much. Give me my son, I’m going home,” You pull Dante away from Cisco so the infant whined, Cisco reaching out to touch your arm,

“Let me take you,”

“I’m a big girl. I can handle myself,” You shoot, Cisco releasing your arm to let you step back, barely catching the gleam in your eyes before he is forced to watch you walk out of the lab.

“Give her time,” Barry murmurs, Cisco running a hand over his face, “It’s a lot,”

. . .

“Hey,”

You look up from the crib and glance over your shoulder, Cisco’s eyes on the sleeping infant as he leans against the door, “Can we talk?”

You slowly pull your hand away from where Dante had a grip, leaning back to turn and leave the nursery, “There’s nothing to talk about,”

“I didn’t tell you for a reason,” Cisco explains, calmly, your eyebrows raising,

“To “protect me”?” You question, “I appreciate that, but I’m apart of the team too, whether I’m at home with a kid or not. I deserve to know shit like that,”

You cross your arms, sucking in a deep breath, “How long have you all known?”

Cisco frowns, watching your eyes flick to the floor, “Right before you had Dante,”

“So two whole weeks,” You state, “Cisco, why the hell didn’t you tell me? Everyone else on the team knew!”

“You were still pregnant with Dante,” Cisco reminds, “Barry feared the stress would cause you to go into labor early. He just wanted what was best for you,”

“Barry may know what is best for me, but you know what is right,” You correct, eyes back on Cisco, “Am I wrong?”

A moments pause, “No,”

“I deserve to know these kind of things, Cisco,” You look up as Cisco moves up to you, his hands at your arms before they lower to your waist, “I’m still apart of the team, and Barry’s my brother,”

“I know,” Cisco murmurs, eyes flicking between yours, “I’m sorry,”

Cisco watches as you shake your head, your hands sliding up to wipe your cheeks under your eyes, “When my father was killed, I didn’t think Barry nor I could handle it,” You exhale, sniffling against your hands, “Our moms death didn’t effect us that much because we were young, we didn’t understand it,”

You lick your lips, eyes burning from tears, “But I can’t lose Barry. He’s the only one I have left of my family, sure I have Joe, and Iris and Wally, but-,” You raise your head, hiccuping as Cisco moves forward, arm sliding around your shoulder to pull you against him,

“C’mere,” Cisco murmurs, his free hand pressing to the back of your head. Your arms tighten at his torso, sniffling against the fabric of his button up, “We’re not going to let it happen. We changed the future before, we can do it again,”

You nod, blinking in an attempt to rid your tears, “You know my life was somewhat normal before I had my speed,” A slight laugh escapes your lips, making Cisco smile, “But now that I don’t have them anymore, I’ve realized my life will never go back normal,”

“Honey, your life will never be normal being married to me,” Cisco leans back, and you snort, shoving a hand to his chest so he stumbled back,

“I’m serious!” He teases, hands at your arms so he didn’t fall. You press a finger to your lips, shushing the man,

“Don’t forget your speedster son is still asleep,” You order, Cisco’s eyebrows raising in rememberance, “Now,” You murmur, “I have some pumpkin pie I have to make for tomorrow,”

. . .

“So it wasn’t as much the taste as it was the crunch,”

“Wait,” Caitlin puts down the bowl she had, eyeing Iris on the couch, “Are you actually saying—,”

“Yes, that was the year I found out why Grandma Esthers yams tasted so good,” Iris nods, glass in one hand, “Because she never cleaned her favorite skillet,”

“That’s,” Nora pauses, “Disgusting,”

The group laughs, Barry looking up and over to Cisco, “Hey, where’s Y/N and the baby?”

“Mm,” Cisco swallows his sip of wine, glancing down at his watch, “She forgot the whipped cream for the pie. But she should be here in-,”

“Your favorite Allen is here!” Your call causes Cisco to nod, hand holding the glass pointing towards Barry’s front door,

“Now,”

You turn the corner with a wide grin, Cisco moving around the couch to take the pie and bag of whipped cream, while you shift Dante’s babbling figure in your arm, older Dante shutting the door behind you,

“Alright, who’s ready to cut the turkey?” Iris asks, Barry beckoning you to pass him his nephew, Cisco clapping his hands together as he moves next to you, leading you to the table with a peck to your cheek,

Part 2 / Part 4

Waking up early to the early rays of light, I still found myself running down to the kitchen to help the other managers make breakfast. While cooking they all went on about how they were waiting around last night for me to join the managers' room, asking for me to sleep in there tonight. They only dropped the subject after I agreed to the slumber party for the rest of the trip.

Once I agreed, all the other girls went back to their kitchen duties while Kiyoko joined me in portioning the rice out into bowls. “Hey Hero, are you ready for the matches today?” “Good morning Kiyoko, I believe I am, I’m just a little worried about the boys since they are kinda on a losing streak.” My comments cause us both to giggle for a moment.

“Yeah, I’m a little worried too but they’ve been through worse, they have it in them but they are playing while learning and that's all that matters. Anyways I wanted to remind you that you’re gonna be helping Kaori and Yukii today with food prep.” “Got it, tell me if Yachi gets flustered, I heard she got the front row seat to an argument between Kags and Hinata last night.”

“She got it handled but,” Kiyoko turns to the window into the cafeteria as if double-checking that none of the boys were there, “I heard Tsukishima played in the third gym last night, how did that happen?”

The question was a bit strange but I caught Kiyoko up to speed about how Bokuto and Kuroo wanted to practice last night and kinda used me to trick Tsukishima into playing. She found the situation funny for some reason that she wouldn’t explain, and moved on to remind me that it could have been worse.

After breakfast ended, I ended up helping Kaori and Yukki in cleaning up dishes and prepping for lunch when some of the Shenzin parents dropped off watermelon for the boys. While cutting the fruit, I felt as if I and the Fukurōdani managers became good friends. They asked me how I had the energy to play volleyball and manage the team.

I often found myself asking myself the same question, but I guess that I was lucky that with Yachi managing with me, the boys always had a manager, even when I had games or practice, but what about for next year.

I love my boys, I love my team, but I also love the feeling of sweating on the court, having my legs ache from jumping left and right. The sting on my arms or the pop of my ankles when I jump. I miss the feeling of spiking and walking out of practice with my hands red, tingling with a reminder of my achievement in blocking spikes.

***

Handing out watermelon to the boys, I found myself getting called over by Kuroo. Walking up to the grassy hill, Kuroo apologized to me as well as Daichi, Asahi, and Tanaka. “Hey I wanted to apologize for angering your middle blocker, I pushed him a little too far last night, and I’m sorry for using you to do that Hero.”

“It’s okay really, I think he needed the little push,” I reassured the cat.

Tanaka jumps in with a question, “Hey Hero, you and Tsukishima are close, by any chance does he have a brother? My sister remembered the name and thought of someone who played on the team when she was in high school.”

“Oh yeah, Aki-san, that's him. He was on the team but barely got to play. Just don’t mention his name around Tsukishima, he really likes to avoid his brother at all costs unless Yams and I are around.”

Daichi took in my words for a moment, staring at the watermelon in his hands, and I would have asked him what he was thinking but the boys were called back to their games and I needed to return to my assignments for the day.

***

Once free time came around, I decided that I would help the Nekoma boys. While setting some balls for Fukunaga to spike, Yams ran into the gym with a worried face, calling me over to the entrance.

I tried to reassure my brother as he freaked out, going on about how he yelled at Tsukki. In all our years as a trio, Yams has always been quick to agree with Tsukki no matter what happened.

“Hey, Yams, I need you to calm down, you did nothing wrong. Go practice your serves with Suga and I’ll go talk to Tsukki.”

With a strange gut feeling, I found myself outside of gym three. Past the netting stood Tsukki playing volleyball. He looked...free. He still had a demenorless face but he looked weightless, jumping as if there was nothing holding him down to earth.

Opening the netting, I walk in and go unnoticed by the players. I sit with my back to the wall and enjoy the game in front of me. I take in Tsukki learning not only from Kuroo on his team and Bokuto across from him, but he actually is jumping to block Hinata and Bokuto.

Their game continues for a while, and when it finally ends, Bokuto is the first one to spot me. After trading some words with Kuroo, he zooms over with his booming voice, Kuroo a few steps behind “If it isn't the Goddess of Karasuno, Hero, tell me you saw my amazing spikes.”

I laugh with the owl as Kuroo and Tsukishima come and join us. Tsukki sits next to me on the ground, gulping from his water bottle as I converse with the 2 strong personalities, it looks like Akaashi is on his phone while he's stuck dealing with Hinata and the tall Russian from Nekoma.

“So, Hero, goddess of Karasuno, why bless us with watching our messily 3 on 3 game? Is it possible because you wanted to watch some real men play or did you just miss us after our little talk last night?” Kuroo’s words roll off his tongue in a seductive tone, once again seeing how far he can push my salty blocker.

Bokuto shoves his captain buddy, sending a booming laugh across the gym, “oh yeah Kuroo, if she came to watch a real man play then we both know she only watched me, based on my skill alone.”

“Sorry to break both of your hearts but I’m actually here for this boy.” I pointed at Tsukishima, causing the Owl to groan as he leaned over to pick up his jacket on the ground, taking out his wallet and handing money over to Kuroo.

I go on to ignore the standing idiots, turning to my own idiot, “So I heard that Tadashi yelled at you Tsukki, wanna talk about it?”

He kept his eyes on mine but kept his mouth on his water bottle which surely had to be out by now. I leaned behind me to grab my full water bottle, and I put it out in front of him, offering it to see if he’ll continue the facade instead of answering me. He must have called my bluff because his fingers extended for the container till Kuroo took it from my hand.

Offering a smile to those of us on the floor, Kuroo held the bottle out of our reach, “Sorry Skinny but you can’t drink out of her bottle, that would be just as bad as you kissing our goddess.”

Kuroos’ joking words caused Tsukki to jump up and take the bottle from Kuroo with a fierce face, sitting back down but closer to me. “Hey cat, why do I have a feeling that you and owls magee here are trying to steal Hero from us?” His words seemed lazy but strict, walking a fine line between sass and annoyance as he stretched his legs in front of him and placing his hands behind his torso to keep his body straight only mere inches from me.

Bokuto chose to fight the seated blocker, “It’s not our fault we know a good manager when we see one, I would say we know a good blocker when we see one but your height blocked them out.”

Kuroo laughed at Bokuto’s words but cut his thoughts down, “What I think owls here is trying to say is that your team has three managers and she just so happened to have stolen our hearts, but don’t worry, when you lose at nationals, my jersey will keep her warm during the game.”

I chose to keep quiet during this joke of an exchange. I watched as Kuroo and Bokuto were just trying to get Tsukki revved up with jokes but my blocker kept cool.

“Funny that you say that seeing as she already has my jersey on the floor of her room,” Tsukishima tormented Kuroo with a smirk and wink my way, only to turn to the owl hooting on the ground. “And what's wrong with my height, after only a few moments of playing against you, I blocked your spikes.” He laid out his mental cards and took a long chug from my water bottle, staring straight at the captains waiting for their retorts.

I start to get a feeling that all 3 men forgot that I was right here, and seeing that Tsukishima seemed fine, my business here was done. I grabbed the empty water bottle belonging to my teammate and started to stand up to leave but the men must have wanted to mess with me now because Kuroo extended his hand to me. “Kitten, I thought you two were only friends.”

“We are Kuroo, I kept telling you that last night.” My words helped a smirk grow across his playful face and it seemed to piss off Tsukki by my choice of words. I take my hand from his palm, offering him my sweetest smile. “I will see you both tomorrow, I have somewhere to be.”

I start to leave when Tsukki calls my name, standing up and handing me the bottle from his hands, straightening his spine. He leans into Kuroos’ ear and whispers something softly before offering the upperclassmen a smile and walking back over to me. “Let's go Hero-chan.”

I chose to once again ignore the game that these boys are trying to play, and start heading for the door. I reach for the netting when Tsukki grabs my extended hand and spins me to engulf my body into a hug.

I keep my arms relaxed, but I don't wrap them around him. Instead, I think of how frail he feels against me, the scent of coffee is weak from his lack of it but I can still slightly smell it. He starts to pull away from me and I can feel him slightly lean and place a kiss on my forehead.

Once his strength releases, I turn, ripping through the netting on the door, leaving Tsukki in the gym as I run to go meet up with the other managers.

***

For the rest of the trip, I ignored the boys from the third gym. When I stood or talked with my team, I tried to stay with the second-years in hopes that Tsukki would find the group too annoying to approach.

It wasn’t that I was mad at Tsukki, I was flustered. He was my best friend who let his ego pull me into his need to be the best. I wanted to get mad at him but I knew it was a conversation for home and not in front of others so I ran from him and avoided his texts, fearing the bus ride home.

I knew I had feelings for him, they were strange feelings that I could only owe to friendship, but I liked how we were now, nothing more or less. If I had romantic feelings, I knew I had a better chance with Akaashi whose eyes never left his ace than I did with Tsukki.

When we were standing around the busses I finally found the courage to say goodbye to the boys I met. Kenma doesn't seem like a hugger so I just shook his hand and reminded him that we need to play together sometime.

Kuroo pulled me into a side hug and wished me “luck with training skinny,” before he put his arm around Kenma and they walked to their bus.

Bokuto ran over to me, pulling me away from the main group and for once his loud voice was replaced with a whisper, “Here’s my number,” he pushed a piece of paper into my hand, “I guess I’ll be seeing you a lot soon.”

“Thanks, Bokuto,” I offered him a smile as I tried to understand his words, he doesn't know...does he? “We need to hang out sometime soon okay!”

“Of course Hero, and you can call me Kou, that's what Akaashi does sometimes.” He picks me up and twirls me in his hearty arms before walking me back to my team. He drops me off at the bus and calls for Akaashi, causing him to turn in our direction, and offers me a smile and wave.

Standing in front of the bus, I was left with the job of marking everyone off as they got onto the bus so hopeful I could get a seat away from Tsukishima, but it started to seem unlikely as the groups loaded up.

Ukai and I were the last ones outside the bus. Handing him the clipboard he must have noticed my actions over the last 36 hours cause he offered me his words, “Hey Sunshine, leave that anxiety here, let's head back with clean minds and bright attitudes.”

I thank him and stepped up to find that the only seats are in the back of the bus with Tsukki who sat in the seat I sat in on the way here and the seat next to Yams at the opposite window.

I sit next to my brother in the aisle seat and throw my jacket over my body. I adjust my body and put my head on my brother's shoulder and lay my legs out into the aisle, quickly passing out as the sun sets on the bus.

Waking up, I find my view different. The bus is clothed in darkness and instead of being able to look down the aisle, I'm lying down with a seat in front of me and a pair of legs under my head.

Tearing my head off of the pair of legs and sitting up I found that I was asleep on Tsukki, using his legs as a pillow. My moving must have awoken him as he quickly speaks, rubbing his eyes. “Hero,-”

“How did I end up over here, I was leaning on Yams a while ago.” I look around the bus to find that once again everyone is asleep except us and Ukai at the wheel.

“You passed out before we even left the Shenzhen parking lot, but you started stirring in your sleep, it kinda freaked out Sugawara cause he wanted to wake you if it was a nightmare so I just moved you closer to me so I could soothe you.” His eyes had a look of tiredness in them, but not the lack of sleep tired, more like emotional exhaustion. I once again looked around the bus to make sure that everyone was asleep before I gave in to Tsukki. He stared out the window lost in thought. I threw my legs over his and put my head on his shoulder, joining him in the view out the window.

“I’m sorry for avoiding you Tsukki. You just flustered me and I was kinda mad, Kou and Kuroo were just messing with you”

He kept his eyes out on the night sky but moved his arm to put over my legs, stabilizing my legs on his lap. “No, I should apologize, I let them get to me.”

His words were sincere as his hand closest to the window pulled the jacket off his bag on the ground, once again placing it on my legs. “Wait, He turns his head forward, who's Kou?”

“Bokuto said I could call him that since that's what Akaashi calls him.”

I feel Tsukki’s muscles tense under me as he whispers, barely loud enough for me to hear, “You call him that, yet after years of friendship, you call me by my last name.”

I gently take my head off his shoulder as he turns to me, “I'm sorry if you want me to call you Kei, I wil-”

Before I could finish my thought, his hand rushes from my legs to my shirt as he tugs on the fabric to pull me closer, slamming his lips onto mine.

His soft lips gently clash against mine for a moment. He pulls himself off, his lips just barely hovering off mine, our foreheads connected as our eyes stare into each other.

A feeling of confusion and neediness take over me as I find the same feelings reflected in his bright golden eyes as they jump to my lips before returning to my eyes.

He starts to lean away but my hands jump to his collar, pulling him back into me. After a mere taste of his lips, I found my mouth craving another taste, chasing a lick of his reassuring and gentle kisses that his mouth offered.

The liplock lasts only a few moments before we rip ourselves off each other, realizing what just happened. I try to form words that only come out as stutters, “Tsu-tsuk-Kei, i-I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that.”

I start to remove my legs from his lap, but his hands land on the muscles, holding them in place. His warm hands send a jolt of energy into my cold legs. He turns to look down, trying to process what just happened.

“Kei, I’m so-”

“Hero, that was completely my fault.”

We sat there in silence, both trying to make sense of a measly kiss. I once again try to remove my legs, but he keeps his tight grip on them and adjusts his jacket to warm them up.

“To be honest, I wanted to do that years ago Hero.” He looked up at me and I found a spark in his eye that I’ve never seen before. “I’m not gonna apologize for it but if you want to forget about it, you can but just know that I don't think I can.”

He leaned back into his seat and returned his line of sight to the early stars dancing in the last of the light, a slight smile on his lips hid in the darkness. With my mind starting to fuzz over, I decided to let go of the moment and just live, I just wanted to watch the stars in this moment as I returned my head to the crook of his neck. Relaxing into him, all was fine as I fell back into sleep.

***

“Hey hero, I'm gonna pick you up and carry you to the car okay, hey Yamaguchi take her bag, I’m right behind you.” His delicate words wake me, but I can sense myself drifting in and out of consciousness as the only things I sense are Tsukki’s body heat and constant movement.

Still half-awake, I don’t have the energy to open my eyes or finish waking up so I accept my friend's touch and helpfulness as he carries me to the car and then into my house. I feel his body slowly go up the stairs, taking every step slowly and gently. Instead of going straight at the top of the stairs, I feel him turn left into the guest room, laying me down on the futon.

I hear yams walk in and lay on the other side of the room. Tsukki must have laid next to me cause the last thing I accepted before succumbing to a night's sleep was a warm breath on my ear, “Goodnight Hero, I hope this I never wake up from this dream,” and a soft kiss on my forehead.

Waking up in the morning, I opened my eyes to Tsukkis sleeping face mere inches from mine, with our hands grasping together. Memories of the bus ride and coming home slowly flooded back into my mind.

Trying to push the images of last night out of my head, I slowly sat up and pulled my hand from his warm grasp to find that Yams' body was taking up most of the room. My parents must have set up the futons knowing that we were getting back late and since it's still summer break, we had nowhere to be this morning until noon for practice.

Getting up, I went to shower and get ready for the day so that I could make breakfast. Walking down to the kitchen, I started to pull everything to make egg rolls and rice.

I heard the boys start to stir just as I finished cooking. Portioning the food onto plates, I walked over to the table to set them down, finding an envelope with my name on the front, along with the Fukurōdani seal in gold. The sound of Yams and Tsukki coming down forces me to hide the envelope in a kitchen drawer.

As much as I wanted to open the envelope, I wanted to wait and open it with Takeda and Ukai since they were the ones who have been supporting me throughout the entire process.

“Morning Yams, morning Kei, foods on the table, let me grab the drinks really quick.”

Me calling Tsukki by his first name caused both boys to stop dead in their tracks by the table as they stared at me. Tsukki had a slight smile on his face while Yams looked at me like I had 2 heads.

Kei must have noticed my brother's reaction because he quickly tried to move the conversation along, “So we have practice at noon right, I guess we have a few hours to kill then.” Yams happily joined the conversation, dropping his confusion, “Uhhh yeah, so that gives us time to start laundry, do we need to run over to your house to grab your clothes for practice Tsukki?”

“I should have clean clothes in my bag, are you both still gonna come over tonight to watch that new dinosaur movie? Akiteru might be there but my mom has a night shift tonight.”

I agreed to whatever the boys wanted to do, and as much as I tried to stay active in the conversation, I found myself nervous about the letter's contents. As much as I wanted the paper to contain good news, I know the news would not be taken lightly as it would require me to step out of my comfort zone, leave the life I’ve grown accustomed to and I might even become the enemy.

Arriving at the gym doors, the sudden anxious adrenaline hit my body like a club. My breaths became very shallow as I separated from the boys to go find Ukai and Takeda. They were talking right outside the supply room door when I approached. As soon as I enter the conversation, Ukai’s eyes land on the letter I pulled out of the bag. A smile took over his face as he searched for the same look on my face, “So, you ready for the moment of truth Sunshine?”

“To be completely honest, no. I can barely look at it let alone open it.” I tried to put on a smile for my coaches, but all I could do was start to gently jitter.

Takeda put his hand on my shoulder, pulling my eye of sight up to the men instead of past them. “Do you want me to open it, we could even have Daichi and the team open it for you if that would make you feel better.”

A reassuring feeling took over me with an ounce of worry. “Don’t you think it would be weird for the boys to tell me if I’m leaving them or not? Don’t get me wrong, I love them and they are my second family but they don’t even know about the opportunity."

The memory of how this entire thing even happened came flooding back. I originally applied to Fukurōdani because of their team when applying to high schools, along with Karasuno. I got accepted but when Kei and Yams both got accepted to Karasuno, I couldn't leave them. I never told them I applied, and when I went to the Interhigh-Preliminaries, the volleyball coach for the Fukurōdani girls' team had approached me about how much she looked forward to meeting me, and how upset she was when I decided to not go there. She told me how she only came out to meet me and inform me that the door was always open if I changed my mind.

I remember telling myself that I wanted to stay at Karasuno cause I was just playing for fun and how after school I wanted to do sports promotion, maybe manage a team cause I loved finding and building the love I found in sports in others. That all was very true but after losing our one and only official game, I realized I wasn't happy here. I loved being a manager but that was because I liked the people and of course, getting to spend more time with my brother and best friend, but it wasn’t enough anymore, I needed something for my happiness to sustain and this felt like it could do that for me.

I only told Takeda about it in the beginning because I knew Ukai would tell me that the choice was what I made it to be. Takeda talked me through an entire practice on if I should call the coach about reapplying and the pros and cons it meant for me. He did warn me that I would probably be a bench warmer for the rest of the season, but I could talk to her about being a manager for their boys' team so I could get to know everyone better. He encouraged me every step of the way, cried with me after every decision, and was always ready to help me when I was confused or scared.

I took a moment to find my answer and looked up to the coaches after deciding my answer. “Would it be possible for Takeda to read it to the team after practice? I need to know as soon as possible, and as much as I don’t want to push it off, what's a few more hours to know what my life will be in a month so I should find out with my family.”

Takeda quickly agreed as slight tears began to form in his eyes. He quickly reminded us that practice was about to start as Yachi and Kiyoko entered, offering to help me set up the net.

The practice dragged on as the jitters took over my movements and speech, forcing me to stay quiet and just help Noya with blocking Asahis’ sets. The boys noticed my weird lack of conversations but only the third-years approached me about it. Telling them everything was fine was easy as long as my eyes stayed on something besides them.

After hours of trying to hide my nervous self, the time had come as Ukai and Takeda called us all over, inviting me to stand with them at the front.

Looking at my team that became my family over the last 5 months, became very hard as my legs began to shake. I must have gone pale as I stood in silence, slightly swaying in front of the team because the boys all started to rise to stand at my side, but Yams pushed Tsukki up to the front.

He walked over linking his arm into mine and stood at my side. Finally having the courage to open my mouth, I tried to speak without losing myself or my emotions. “I’m sorry that you all have to stay a few more minutes, but I have some big news. As you all know, besides being one of your managers, I also play for our girls' team and I actually applied to another school before coming here. I was approached by the other school's volleyball coach to reapply for the I actually just got my answer in the mail while we were at Shenzhen.”

Tears started to roll down my face, I let them be, knowing all the tissues in the world could never hold back my current emotions as I looked out at the girls who became like sisters to me, the boys who helped me to grow stronger. I started to remove my linked arm from Kei when he grasped my hand once again.

Looking up at my best friend, I found anger, sadness, and confusion in his eyes. I could tell that he wanted to yell and scream at me, but he was lost. I knew I was gonna get an earful later but now wasn’t just about me or him, it wasn't about us, it was about the team. I looked back at the team with my red face and bowed to them, “No matter what this letter says, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything.” Bringing my head back up, I knew I needed my answer now or never. “Takeda will now read the letter.”

Looking over at the teacher, his hands shakily opened the crisp envelope, and I could tell he was trying to hide the seal from everyone. His eyes scanning the first line felt like a lifetime. “We take great pride in informing Hiromi Yamaguchi that she has been accepted and we look forward-”

I fell to my knees in tears. Neither happiness nor sadness took over my raw emotional state. The team ran over me, hugging me with praise and fear as I could hear stuffy noses and feel tears on others. I felt as if all the stress and weight I’ve gained in life was lifted, carried away by the crows hugging me.

We stayed like that for a while, just a team crying and softly whispering amongst ourselves. When everyone finally calmed down, I looked around me to find all the red faces around me, and Ukai offering everyone tissues, taking a few for himself. Kei was standing away from all of us, he was reading the letter over and over before throwing the letter on the ground and running away. Ukai decides to chase the angry blocker, reminding us that we need to lock up soon.

Daichi decided to break the sea of silences and snuffles, “So what school are you going to be going to. With your skill, you probably took the entrance exam for Shiratorizawa, right? Surely we’ll still be seeing you at all our games and practices so you can see your brother play.” With a hearty laugh from the team captain, I stayed silent.

Looking down at my pants, I somehow found the words that would ruin this even more. “Fukurōdani, I’ll be moving to go to Fukurōdani right outside of Tokyo. I will be 5 hours away.” An uproar went on between the boys, I couldn't tell if the cause of the commotion was how far I was gonna be or if it was because I was about to be playing for an enemy, but I didn't care because I knew the words hit one person the most.

Standing up during the commotion, completely ignoring the uproar around me, I stumbled over to Yams who was frozen at the edge of the group. He seemed lost in thought as I looked at my best friends since day one, my other half, and I watched as he mentally fell apart. I caught him in my arms as we sat on the floor, grasping each other with all of our love, cries, and tears.

He made my decision the hardest, never have I ever lived my life without him being by my side, always laughing and crying together, from here on...until the day I leave. Tadashi always encouraged me from the sidelines, my own brother was my cheerleader, just as I was for him and as much as he didn’t want to be far from me, I knew he would still cheer for me, no matter the distance.

Yams and I stayed on the floor as Takeda ushered everyone to leave reminding the team that we can finish the conversation on Monday at practice. Yams pulled away with silence as we grabbed our things and started our walk home. Our linked arms stayed in place as we walked, me looking at my feet and him texting on his phone. “We’re here Hero.”

I looked up to see a different view than what I was expecting as Yams pulled out the key. “I thought we were going home, Kei doesn't want to see me, does he even know we’re here.”

“It’s movie night, or did you forget, and don't worry, I told Aki-san that we were on our way.” Yams opened the door and we found Akiteru poking his head from the kitchen.

“Can I get one of you to go grab Kei, he’s locked himself in his room and dinner is almost ready.”

Yams pushed me over to the stairs, “Hero is gonna go grab him and I’ll help you with dinner, It smells good.”

I knew Yams was gonna do this so instead of fighting him I walked up the stairs and knocked on Kei’s room, “Tsukki, dinner is almost ready.”

Silence stayed, I couldn’t hear anything from his room, not even him getting up from his bed, “Tsukki, come on out,” I reached to turn the knob but it was locked, “Kei, open the door...please,” I begged.

The door barely opened before I saw a hand reach out and tug me inside the room. I was pushed against the firm door before I could even blink. “Kei, I’m so-” His soft lips attacked me hungrily, biting on my lower lip, letting his tongue glide into my mouth, devouring me with his touches as his arms snaked around my body, holding me close to his. His open mouth kisses quickly become deeper but soft, his body slightly tensed against mine as if fearing what happens once he stops kissing me.

Slowly but surely I find the strength in me to stop, grabbing his shirt and pushing him away from me. His face is red, covered with dry tears, a look of confusion could still be found in his tired eyes. “Tsukki, tell me what's wrong, please,” I begged him.

“You didn’t tell me, after all these years of friendship and you’re leaving me? What about our plans of going to nationals together, graduating together, and going to the same college. You...you woke me up from my dream Hero.”

Tsukki’s rambling put a stake through my heart, not because he was listing these events, not because of his tears starting back up again, but he was saying his wants, his dream for the future. We never talked about going to nationals around him cause he would just laugh at the idea, we never talked about graduating together since it was just implied and we definitely never talked about going to college together.

I stopped his ramblings, “Tsukki, do you like me, like do you have thoughts of us together?” My words must have struck a cord cause he stared at me like I was Hinita with a perfect grade.

“Hero, are you stupid?” A chuckle fell from his desperate voice.

“No, I was just say-”

“Hiromi Yamaguchi, I don’t kiss my friends, I don’t hold their hands everywhere we go. I don’t play volleyball with an owl, a cat, and that setter for no reason, let alone put up with them flirting with you. I don't let Tadashi put his legs across my lap every time we drive somewhere, for my sake I don’t let anyone touch my jacket, let alone wear it or sew a dino on it.”

I continue to stare at the emotional blonde, speechless and he seems to be waiting for it to hit me.

“Hero, I have had these feelings for you and now I know that your feelings are just as real as mine, or else you wouldn’t have kissed me. I’m not saying I want you to stay for me but I needed to tell you that I-”

A knock on the door stops him, Yams opens the door to tell us that dinner is ready. I automatically follow my brother into the hallway and down the stairs, and after a few moments, I hear Tsukki throw himself on his bed.

“What was that yelling I heard, Hero?” Aki-san asks, handing over a plate for me.

“I’m going to be transferring to Fukurōdani after the summer break, I move in 3 weeks and Tsukki wasn’t very happy with the news.”

“Well that's wonderful Hero,” Akiteru completely dismisses his brother's feelings. “Are you gonna stay with family there or get an apartment?” Aki asks with a mouthful of vegetables.

“Actually our grandparents own some apartments up there so I’ll be living in one of those near campus so that I can stay late for volleyball practice. I'll be on the bench for the rest of the season for the girls and since both of their managers are 3rd years, I’ll be helping out the boys team in my free time. That's all I really know since I tried not to prepare too much before I got the acceptance letter.”

“Wait,” Tadashi must have figured it out, “So does that mean that if we make it to nationals then we could be playing against you?”

“Of course it does Yams,” Tsukki announced hopping down the stairs, two at a time, finally joining us at the table.

“Don’t worry though, she’ll be on the sidelines cheering us on, right Hero?” Tsukki looked at me, he called my name with a slight cheer in his voice.

“of course,” I reply, happy that he actually found something to look forward to.
