As we arrived at the Café, I first didn't realize the calming atmosphere that spread but after we sat down at our table, and I drank my coffee, I realized that it was calm. I still heard the thoughts of the others but this time, the source was closer and held on longer. I smiled, making Oikawa gasp in shock. I didn't smile that often, especially not in public. I couldn't bring myself to, due to the chaos in my head. 

"Did I saw that correctly", Oikawa asked me. "Yeah you did Oikawa, I smile too", I responded. "Okay, just checking. What happened?", he asked further. He knew that something was up. I couldn't tell him the truth so I had to find an answer he would accept. I drove into his mind, only to realized that I couldn't use any of the ideas, he had. I didn't have a crush and I didn't win the lottery so I would need to find another explanation. 

"I'm just happy that I'm here with you. We haven't been here for some time now", I replied. It was true. I always used my time after school to enjoy the five minutes of silence and I hated public places. But this one here was perfect. I would definitely come here more often. 

"That's great. I'll take you here more often than", Oikawa responded and I smiled again. He had his own way of reading my thoughts. 

After Oikawa came back from paying, he always did because his parents were super-rich, his thoughts traced around a boy at the register, who wasn't the one he wanted to be there. I learn that he was good-looking as well and new. The last thing got my attention. Was he the source of the silence? I always expected that it would have something to do with the location and time or it was some object but maybe it was a human being. If that was the case, I could do so much, if we were to become friends. We could just go anywhere and I would have the chance to have a normal life or at least a partly normal life. 

I suddenly got snapped out of it as I heard the door closing and suddenly everything was back to normal. I was almost 100% certain that this bartender was the reason.
