Locking the door behind him, Tobio threw the keys in the bowl by the table next to the entrance. The scent of jasmine and lavender welcomed him after having to smell the oil and gas of cars the whole day. "I'm home!" he didn't expect a replay back from his mother or grandmother, not really.

Taking his boots as to not leave a trail of mud and oil on the clean white floors. He would have to thank Yachi again, the girl truly is a blessing in disguise. Even though she owns him nothing she stills takes the time of her day to take care of his grandmother and mother, she even cleans the house!

Tobio felt a bit guilty about not being able to pay her more than what he currently is. The work she does is hard, and he is truly grateful for it. After both, his sister and brother left them to their luck Tobio had taken the responsibilities they once held and began taking care of his remaining family.

Leaving his high school life, the ocean-eyed boy looked for any work available. Whether it be working as a delivery boy to a waiter, yet no matter how many jobs he worked at they were never enough to pay the bills much less to feed the hungry mouths at home.

He didn't even have time to look after his family, working jobs left and right consume said time which is why Yachi and at times Saeko watch over them. And honestly, if it weren't for the older girl he would still be struggling with finding a job that paid enough to buy food.

Saeko and her brother work in a mechanic shop nearby, and since Tobio had some experience in working with cars she had taken him under her wing and taught him what she knew. After some time Saeko then introduces him to Karasuno mechanics, the place she had been working.

There he learned more things from Sugawara Koshi and Daichi Sawamura, both owners of Karasuno mechanics.

There he also met his best friend, Hinata Shoyo an energetic man who always challenges him in anything but also keeps him grounded when times are hard and many more people, like Yachi. A sweet girl who got nervous when talking to others yet always took care of her family and friends.

Tanaka and Nishinoya, who he considers more of older brothers than he ever did with Shinsuke. Both have been there when he was picked by older boys. They also helped him with his family when one time some gang members entered to steal from him.

Suga, Daichi, and Asahi are like parents, always making sure the others stayed on top of anything. Even though Suga was more chaotic than the other two the silver-haired man still had an aura of a father who is stern yet caring.

Kyoko is like having an older sister, always there for every single one of them. She always lends them a shoulder to cry and an ear to listen. The raven head doesn't speak much but her presence is always warm and reassuring. Tobio wishes she had been his older sister instead of Miwa.

Ennoshita, Kinoshita, and Narita are like three cousins who join in on your mischief once in a while yet always get away with it while the other gets in trouble. They were the first ones to offer help when they realized that Tobio lived by himself.

Often they would try to encourage him to go to college like Yachi, Hinata, Yamaguchi, and Tsukishima. Saying that he had the potential to be someone but he decalins each time. Collage is money, something he doesn't have, and whatever money he does have he uses it to pay the bills of the house and for food along with his grandmother's medication.

And unlike the others (except Hinata) Tobio isn't smart enough to get a scholarship. Hinata had a sports scholarship that covered his full ride, as long as the ginger played volleyball he could continue to study.

And finally Yamaguchi and Tsukishima, Tobio has a love and hate relationship with the annoying blonde however he cares deeply for him. Yamaguchi is like Suga, has a fatherly aura but will become strict if he finds out you are not taking care of yourself.
