~^*^~

    The following Friday came very quickly, I hadn't seen the week go by.
I had visited my parents, Bokuto had insisted that we go eat together what I could not refuse him and I had spent more time than expected swimming.
I had tried everything not to think of Atsumu until today when I was supposed to meet him after my swim session.

"Hina, you are done for today." My coach told me as I was about to take a dive again.

"But why ? I can still swim !"

"You've been swimming way too much this week. You need some rest if you want to swim perfectly for the national tournament."

"But I'm perfectly fine ! I'm not tired !" I insisted as my teammates looked at me strangely.

"No Hina ! You've been overworking yourself for a week and I'm not okay with that ! I don't want to see you put your foot in the water until Wednesday, is that clear ?"

I was about to answer again but the coach raised her hand to silence me.

"The selection for an intensive course in Europe is about to begin the next week and I would like you to participate so don't change my mind ! The best is the enemy of good !"

"The selection ?" Tengoku wondered.

"I didn't want to talk about it now but there is a crash course going to take place in September that may give you a place on a better team than here." She turned to our small team and resumed with a breath. "While no one disappoints me, I want to see you at your best. Now Hina, take a few days off."

I left without looking back. How did She want me to be in better shape if she kept me from doing the one thing that made me forget everything.
I don't care about the selection for whatever country.
Arriving at the locker room, after a shower, I grabbed my phone which I had not looked at since the start of training.  Several messages from Allan were there.

"It's cold in Japan."

I read the second message asking if that was a question he was asking me.

"And what are all these people ?"

Amazement was my first reaction before reading the third message.

"I hope you finish your training quickly because I'm sick of waiting."

I quickly dressed and ran towards the exit.
Don't tell me Allan is here.
But yes, he was there. A cap covering his ears and blond locks, he was leaning on a lamppost.

"Here you are at last !" He said as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing here my god !" I tell, hugging him. "Aren't you supposed to have an internship ?"

"When I told the coach that you were not very well, she told me to take a few days off. You knew her you were her little guard in France."

"But what about the internship ?" I started to panic.

"The internship starts in a stupid week !"

I put my head in his neck having forgotten his smell.

"I can't believe you're here."

"To be honest with you, me neither." He approached my ear and whispered something else to me. "On the other hand, there is a suspicious dude who has been watching us for a while now."

I turned and saw a boy in the distance approaching us.

"Oh shit ! It's Atsumu ! I was supposed to see him tonight."

Allan wanted to answer but Atsumu was already there.

"Uh hi."  I say shyly.

"Who is he ?" Atsumu asked in a hoarse voice.

"What did he say ?"  Allan asked, not understanding Japanese.

"Atsumu, this is my former teammate in France. Allan this is Atsumu, my... anyway." I Said in English so that they both understand.

I knew Atsumu understood English as well so that was a godsend for me.
Atsumu softened when he heard that it was just a teammate and they shook hands.

"Tsum, I'm sorry, tonight I'm going to have to cancel."

He put his lips to my forehead and gave me a shy little smile.

"I understand baby. Enjoy with your friend." He pulled away from me and waved at Allan. "Nice to meet you dude."

And he left, dragging his feet without a word.
Allan then grabbed my arm and walked over to I don't know where.

"I understand why you fell for him. He's an atomic bomb." Smirked Allan. "Anyway! I have great news ! I am selected for the intensive course in September in Berlin ! Have you heard of it ? There will be the greatest athletes! It's lucky !" He said happily.

A flash of genius crossed my mind.

"My coach just told us about it ! She wants me to pass the selection too !"

Allan jumped in place and kissed me like a dog that hadn't seen his master for two hours.

"My god Hina ! We could hang out together for a month ! You absolutely have to pass the selection !"

Going to Berlin ? Maybe.
