TW — Slight mentions of blood

November 2016

"Say bye bye to Great Grandma and Shoyo," Michiko said to the twins. 

Satoshi and Hacchin ran to the grey-haired, elderly woman, and gave her a bear hug. 

"I'll miss you both so much!" She exclaimed in Portuguese

"We'll miss you too Bisavó!" They said in return.

The two little boys then turned to Hinata and tackled him making him fall on the ground. He laughed and hugged them back.

"Sho Sho!" They both yelled. 

Hinata had a bright smile on his face, "I'll miss you guys two a lot."

"You come back to Japan soon?" Satoshi asked excitedly.

"Yeah! When you come back?" Hacchin added. 

Hinata held up two fingers, "In two years."

The twins slightly pouted making Hinata pat their heads, "Don't be sad you two. I'll be back soon."

"Ok," they said and went to hug him again. 

Michiko said her farewell to her grandmother, "It was really nice to be in Brazil again."

"Neta, it was so good to have you back after so long," her grandmother beamed. 

"I'll be sure to call whenever I can," Michiko smiled.

"You better," the older woman said with sass, "your father does a shit job with calling his own mother back."

"Grandma!" Michiko laughed at the old woman's profanity.

"It's true Neta," an amused smirk pulled on the corner of the older woman's lips. 

Her grandmother then placed her hands on Michiko's face, "Neta, just remember that true love never dies."

The older woman reminded the young woman of the conflicting situation she had with Sakusa. Michiko smiled tenderly at her grandmother and her words of wisdom. They were also words of comfort and reassurance for the young woman whenever she became worried of her's and Sakusa's relationship.

"Thank you, Grandma," Michiko said with a grateful smile.

The small woman turned to Hinata and pulled him into a hug.

"Thanks for everything Sho-kun," she whispered. 

"It's nothing," Hinata countered with light tone, "It was really nice to find someone that I knew here, because I was actually getting really lonely and sad."

"The boys told me that they want to you call all the time, so they don't forget you," Michiko chuckled as she pulled back.

Hinata went silent.

"Oi. You ok? Wait, are you crying Sho-kun?"

Hinata turned his head away, "No, a bug flew into my eye."

The young woman laughed. She placed Satoshi and Hacchin in their stroller and grabbed her luggage. This time, she didn't have to worry about turning back because even if she did, her feet moved forward to take herself and the boys home.

21 Hours Later...

The cool air of Japan hit Michiko's skin as she strolled the twins with one hand and rolled their luggage in the other. Apparently, the National Olympic Committee lost her phone, so she still wasn't able to contact anyone. The small woman was beyond pissed; how do you lose someone else's phone? Did they not put it in a safe and secure place?
