Roses

A year had gone by. Time was flying by so quickly, neither of them realized today had marked a year since everything went down between them. They were on opposite ends of the world, more than 7 thousand miles apart. Neither of them thought the other knew they had both left Japan. They kept their unspoken promises: no contact with each other at all. Tendou unblocked him from social media though, and so did Ushijima.

Even though neither rig them were in contact, both of them decided to check up on each other. Both of the two soon realized they had both moved away. Ushijima, with Oikawa to Argentina, and Tendou, to France. Tendou made a drastic change in his appearance. He cut off all of his hair when he moved. The gages that he had taken out were put back in, a symbol of feeling confident in himself.

They were happy, the two of them, being separated from each other. Tendou felt free of Ushijima's cruel actions, and Ushijima felt free of Tendou's possessive feelings. He was with Oikawa now. Not as a couple, but as traveling partners. Friends with benefits wasn't a huge thing between the two but when it happened, it happened. Neither of them stopped each other.

Ushijima was having the time of his life. Playing volleyball with Oikawa was a dream come true. He finally started to experience being on a team together. They were a good duo on the court. They were powerful together. The two had met up with Hinata, who was also in Argentina at the same time.

Tendou thrived living by himself. He had no one to worry about, his anxiety wasn't a huge problem anymore. He could focus on himself, bettering himself and becoming really good at what he was doing. Since he had left all of his friends in Japan, he had no one to really go to when he did have his down days, but that didn't stop him from putting a smile on his face. The redhead was determined to make it on his own, he didn't need anybody. As long as he didn't lose himself, he was good.

Tendou lived in an extremely nice apartment near Paris. He usually sat on his balcony to enjoy the fresh air outside. He had also recently adopted a ferret. Tendou once looked up good pets to have and immediately read up on them. He took it upon himself to adopt one. It was white, with brown spots over the eyes and a few tiger like brown stripes on its back. He named the pet Dash because of how much he ran around the apartment.

The redhead registered him as an emotional support animal just cause. He took Dash everywhere with him, except for work.

Tendou sat on the white couch in the middle of the living room. He hadn't checked up on Ushijima in a little, and he wanted to see what him and Oikawa were up to. He looked up Oikawa's Instagram and clicked on the most recent post he'd made. It was posted 2 hours ago. It was 8 o'clock here, which meant it was around 3 in the afternoon there right now. The first picture was of the three of them; Hinata, Ushijima and him. Hinata was holding up a peace sign, his signature move in pictures. Ushijima was on the right side of the picture, making a small smile. He was learning how to smile.

Oikawa was in the center, sticking his tongue out. His eyes were sharp, and Tendou rolled his eyes. He admitted to himself that Oikawa was pretty. He had to accept it. The redhead slid over to the next slide. It was a video. Ushijima was taking it. Oikawa and Hinata's hands were intertwined, their faces close. The art of tango.

Oikawa gave his phone to Ushijima and told him to start recording. He grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled him over into the street. The orange haired boy intertwined their fingers together and all of a sudden, they turned into two completely different people. Oikawa had a serious look on his face, making sure they followed each other closely. Hinata had a goofy smile plastered across his face, and his body was loose so he could move freely.Their feet mastered every beat, like they've been practicing for weeks. Oikawa was the leading in the dance, while Hinata was the following. The seductiveness rained off the brunette, it was natural. Both sets of feet were moving so quick that Ushijima's eyes couldn't keep up.
