Tsukishima was the first of the duo to wake up. He stared at Yamaguchi, whose face was serene as he slept.

Tsukishima watched as the boy blinked in his sleep, his eyelashes were rather long, eyeliner from the night before was still scrawled on, slightly smudged, but it was on. His jaw was rather soft but it still looked rather defined, and his cheeks were slightly flushed with small freckles scattered over his cheeks and nose, like glitter. His nose was cute, button shaped, some may say, and his lips... Tsukishima lustfully stared at Tadashi's soft, pink tinted lips that had kissed him the night before.

"Tsukki?" Yamaguchi groaned quietly, voice slightly hoarse, as it was first thing in the morning.

"Hi... hi! Morning!" Tsukki gasped, snapping out of it at the sound of Yamaguchi's voice. If he was caught ogling at Yamaguchi's face, that would've been very embarrassing.

"G'morning Tsukki, what's the time? Why are you up so early?" Yamaguchi mumbled tiredly.
"We have school, it's Thursday and 7am. Practice is in 30 minutes." Tsukki replied, standing up from Yamaguchi's bed, instantly realising that they had slept on the same bed.

"Let's stay home, I'm tireddd..." the latter spoke, yawning.
"Tadashi, I told you that a party in the middle of the week was a dumb idea." Tsukki scolded, ripping the covers off his friend, only to find that he was almost fully undressed and only in boxers.
"Shit my bad, just hurry up okay!" Tsukki cursed, his cheeks flushing red with embarrassment, covering his friend again.

Yamaguchi gripped his bedsheets and muttered something about it being "cosy" whilst Tsukishima rushed to get ready for the day.
Once Tsukishima was fully ready, Yamaguchi was still in bed.
"Tadashi, you're gonna miss practice if we don't leave now, I packed your stuff- all you need to do is get up and get dressed."
"I'll go to tomorrow's practice, I wanna sleep more." Yamaguchi yawned.
"Fine." Tsukishima spoke, slightly disappointed, as he closed the door and proceeded to walk to school.

Shortly after, Yamaguchi got up and walked around his house. It was in a complete and utter state. He turned on "Escape" by Destroy Boys and connected it to his speaker, playing it on full volume whilst he attempted to get his house somewhat back to its normal state before leaving for school.

It was third period by the time he got to school.
"Sorry sensei, I had a doctors appointment so I missed the first two periods and got to school just now." Yamaguchi lied, too easily.
"That's fine Yamaguchi-san, take your seat."

I slouched in my seat beside a girl called Asuka who immediately gave me a sheet of paper and a pen seeing as I didn't have one.
I turned to her and flashed a smile, "Thanks, Asu-chan."
She immediately began blushing, "Uh, it's not problem at all, Yamaguchi-kun!"

Instead of listening to what was going on in lesson, I started writing lyrics.

I had so many ideas in my head for songs but the lyrics never flowed with one another. Tsukki said it was because they were too "intense", I refused to believe that.

Tapping tapping tapping,
And when you're gone I feel deadly.
You must think I'm harmful,
I know you think I'm meddling.
Then you came with all your using
You see me on a high, infusing.
It's time we had some remedies
As your words cut deeper than the solution
When I'm with you, all I have are violent thoughts..
When I'm with you, I can't stop tapping tapping tapping.

"Whatcha writing?" Asuka asked, glancing at the paper I was viciously scrawling on.
I scribbled out what I wrote. It made no sense, I am utterly useless at this.
"Nothing much, just ideas." I shrugged.

Soon enough the lesson ended and lunch rolled around.
"Tsukki!" I waved, spotting his blonde hair from the other side of the corridor.
"Hey Tadashi, you wanna sit with us?" a boy from my class called Mitsuya asked.
"They would but they should probably sit with their teammates today." Tsukki declined the offer, whilst glaring at me.
"Sure, next time!" He nodded, walking off with his friends.
"Oi Tsukki, why are you giving me the cold shoulder?" I asked Tsukishima as I turned to him.
"Nice party yesterday Yamaguchi-san!" a girl said, as she walked past us.
"Yeah it was killer!!" her friend smiled.
I gave a small smirk to them in response before turning back to my bestfriend.

"Tadashi! Where were you this morning? I wanted to try and receive your floats!!" Nishinoya questioned eagerly as he approached the two of us.
"Yeah we missed you this morning!" Tanaka, who was holding onto Nishinoya's bag, added.
"Maybe they forgot to set their alarm, you'll make it next time right?" Daichi asked, who was behind Tanaka.
"Oh hey Tadashi-san, we thought you were sick or something."
"Guys keep it moving! Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, we'll see you in the cafeteria." Sugawara smiled, pushing the others away and into the cafeteria.

I turned back to Tsukki once more, "What??" I frowned.
"What do you want me to say?" Tsukki said plainly.
"I dunno... anything?" I replied, "Let's go somewhere!" I suggested.
"Come eat lunch with the rest of the team, they clearly missed you at practice today."

"Why do we always have to be with the team? Can't we go elsewhere?"
"They're our friends..." Tsukki started.
"They're suffocating. Volleyball is suffocating me! I miss practice for one morning and everyone is on my ass about it? And you, it's like volleyball has become your only personality trait! Why is volleyball the only thing that matters in your life?" I spat out.
"What? Since when didn't you care about volleyball?" Tsukishima asked, an eyebrow raised in dissatisfaction.
"I'm quitting the team, I don't know when, but I'm quitting." I replied, walking off in the other direction of the cafeteria.

This was so frustrating. Volleyball this, volleyball that. I needed a break, it was too much. At first it was a distraction, practice meant I could go home late and leave my house earlier, but it was exhausting.

I walked out of the school gates and went to a park near the school to spend my lunch there.
Pulling out a cigarette and my lighter, I sighed.
One day this shit is going to kill me.

Once lunch was over, Yamaguchi went to his next class, unfortunately, he shared it with Tsukishima. Hell, he even sat next to Tsukishima in this class.
Upon his arrival he saw that Tsukishima was there, sitting in his normal spot, but someone else was sitting next to him.
"Whatever." Yamaguchi mumbled, scraping out a different chair and sitting down elsewhere.

He stared holes into the girl's neck for the entire hour for no reason at all. He was angry at the girl for sitting beside Tsukishima, but he didn't actually feel like sitting beside Tsukishima right now.

Pulling his phone out, Yamaguchi texted Mitsuya.

Tadashi raised his hand.
"Yes Yamaguchi-san?" his teacher called.
"Can I use the toilet?" he asked.
"Don't be long." she replied.

Shortly after, Yamaguchi met up with his friend in the toilets. These ones were less public to the entire school because they were more secluded but they were still in the main building.
-
"I have a cart but I also rolled these earlier." I said, showing Mitsuya the options.
"You roll so well!" Mitsuya complained, "Look at what mine looks like..." he said, pulling out a transparent bag of poorly rolled joints.
"Fuck that's terrible." I chuckled.

"Here." he added, passing me a lighter.
I lit the joint and passed him back the lighter, letting the smoke fill my mouth before taking a deep inhale and then releasing the smoke.

Mitsuya took the joint from me and attempted making rings and doing other shitty tricks with the smoke.
"Don't waste it." I scoffed at his attempt of a slow ghost.
"I'll be a pro at this shit soon." he insisted.

I'll be dead before I see the day.

My phone buzzed.

from: "tsukki :3"
Tadashi, where are you??

Ignoring the message, I switched off my phone and took another hit of weed whilst talking about pointless things with Mitsuya that neither of us actually cared about.

Kei can wait.
