Trigger warnings: mentions of self harm, mild drug use, mentions of alcohol, and suicide

Sunday, October 7th, 9:45 a.m.

~Kenma~

Kuroo got the coaches to let us into the gym on a Sunday for some extra practice. Nationals were around the corner for us and he wanted some extra practice, specifically for our new member, Teshiro.

He knocked on my door and I walked out. Kuroo gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead like always before we walked to the train station. I didn't play games on the way there anymore, since we held hands as we walked. Once we boarded the train, I played a game on my phone since we were sitting. I rested my head on Kuroo's shoulder and he watched me play.

After we got off, Shoyo texted me, which was a little out of the ordinary. He normally wouldn't text me so early on a weekend, because he knew I sleep in.

(Shoyo 9:56)

"Hey are you awake?"

(Kenma 9:56)

"Yeah we have extra practice today"

I texted back only using my left thumb, since my other hand was busy holding Kuroo's.

"Are you texting someone?" Kuroo asked as we turned the corner.

"Yeah, Shoyo," I replied.

(Shoyo 9:56)

"Cool. Is it fun?"

(Kenma 9:57)

"Kuroo and I are still walking to school. We haven't started yet"

(Shoyo 9:57)

"I wish I had something to do today. I'm just laying here"

Kuroo and I walked into school and we headed for the gym. We were already dressed to start, we just needed to warm up. I sat down on the bench and kept texting Shoyo. The way that he typed felt off. Like he was sad or something.

(Kenma 9:58)

"Is something wrong? You're not usually like this"

(Shoyo 9:58)

"Was it that obvious?"

I paused for a moment. That sentence made me really worried. Other members had arrived and talked to each other, but I didn't look up from my phone.

(Kenma 9:59)

"Yeah... what's wrong?"

(Shoyo 9:59)

"We lost a member yesterday"

(Kenma 9:59)

"Someone quit?"

(Shoyo 10:00)

"No, he committed suicide"

My heart stopped and I gasped quietly. I brought my hand to my face and reread the text as my brain processed what I was just sent.

"Kenma, we're getting started," Kuroo said.

I looked up. Everyone from the team had arrived and they all looked at me. Some of them held confused expressions, probably because of the face I made.

"...Someone from Karasuno died."

"Eh?" everyone replied.

"Shoyo just texted me. Someone committed suicide."

(Kenma 10:01)

"Who?"

"...Suicide?" Kuroo said weakly.
