2nd person POV
It was just after midnight and you were still sitting on the couch staring at the half-opened letter that had been dropped off two weeks ago. Yamaguchi and Tsukishima were nice enough to let you stay at their place, you thanked them any chance you got. Both boys were slowly starting to get more and more annoyed when telling you to open the letter. At first, it was more of a suggestion but now it was like they were going to slap you across the face with the damn thing.
School was weird, like, really weird. Mikkusu avoided you like the plague and you did the same to everyone else. Lunch was spent in the library instead of at the park, your usual spot, because your friends ate there. Yachi tried approaching you a few times but you didn't feel like getting smushed with hugs from her. She came over to visit once and a while but you did your best to be out of the house.
'Just open it.' You repeated for what felt like the millionth time. 'You're being so dramatic, dipshit.' Your hand jerked back to your body, another failed attempt of tricking yourself with speed. 'Fuck!' Once again you stood and started pacing around the living room.
"Stop," Tsukishima said, leaning up against the frame of the nonexistent door.
"What if he hates me?" You mumbled pacing.
"Stop," Tsukshima repeated.
"What if it's not just from him? Miku. What if it's from Miku."
"Shortstack."
"Or Nishinoya. What if they've made up and their best friends and now they hate me. They all hate me. Everyone."
"Y/n." Tsukshima grabbed your shoulders and stopped you from pacing. "Relax." You stared at the floor. "You struggling to open the letter again?"
"Mhm. I don't get why it's so complicated. It's a stupid letter." His hands dropped from your shoulders. You looked up and saw him walking towards the table. "Tsukki-" He picked up the envelope and opened it. "Tsukki don't!" You reached for the piece of paper but he put his arm up. "Give it. Tsukishima."
"No. I'm tired of your stomping every night so sit your ass down on the couch right now."
"No."
"Now. I'm reading this thing to you."
"But-" He glared at you. "Fine."
He opened the envelope, "There are three pieces of paper in here. Each is signed by a different person. Who do you want to hear from first?"
"Nishinoya." You said almost immediately, guess he was your number one priority at the moment.
"Ok." Tsukishima cleared his throat and started reading. The longer he read the more you heard Noya's voice.

Hey, n/n.
I don't know how long it gonna take 'til you read this but it took me a while to write it. There is so much I want to say to you, like, so much.
First off I don't want you to think I hate you. I could never hate you. Honestly, those two words being so close together feels wrong. Mikkusu, Akio and I were talking and the three of us are ok too. Akio doesn't exactly see us being the best of buds in the future but, you know how good I am at making people love me. And Miku, well I'll let you hear about what she thinks in her letter- unless you already read it. I don't know.
Secondly, I miss you. Loads. I'm upset that you went to Tsukishima and Yamaguchi instead of me but I totally understand. You need your space. I'll respect that. I know that when we were teenagers I wasn't very good at being patient but I'm better now. I think. And besides, I'd wait forever for you.
We never really got a chance to talk about...us, properly. I'm just gonna say, I thought about you. Every single moment of every single day while I was gone. I had a few relationships, I'm not gonna lie, but they were nothing compared to you. I found myself comparing everything about them to you. Their laughs, eyes, smiles, body, voice, nose, hair, everything. I missed you, n/n. Leaving was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
I thought that me coming back would mean we could be together again, that's why I was kinda, in your face when I first came back. But you were so upset. You had moved on. Without me. I understand that now, your life wasn't just going to stop because I wasn't around, but it was weird to see your hand in someone else's.
That's what made me realize, n/n. I love you. I never stopped loving you. My heart was found to yours from the moment you walked up to me in that airport almost 7 years ago. Did I realize it then? Hell no. I didn't even realize I liked you then. But now I do. I know. You're the only one for me, I'd wait forever for you. You are my ocean, my stars, my mountains, my colour, my puppies. Without you, I can survive but I can't live.

"Oh...." You mumbled, staring at your hands.
"Do you need a second?"
"Could you give me a piece of paper and a pencil please?" You asked.
"Yeah." Tsukishima got up and brought you what you asked for.
"Thank you." He placed the two objects down on the table.
"I'll leave you to this, call me when you need me." He walked back towards his bedroom.
"Ok." You sighed and picked up the pencil, ready to write a response.

Hey, Nishi.
I'm happy you and the others are good now, you don't understand how much I was freaking out over that. I know that you and Miku are going to be like, best friends. You're so much alike. Don't worry too much about Akio, I'm sure he'll love you eventually. And no, I haven't read Miku's letter yet, I chose yours first.
Because I missed you too. I miss you now. As much as I love Akio, he isn't you. Throughout all of my relationships. I felt incomplete with them but with you, it was... like everything is right in the world. And if we're telling the truth here, I'm almost glad that all of this happened. It helped me realize so much and allowed all of this to finally be out in the open, even if it wasn't in the best way. Everything is out there.
You coming back did throw me for a curveball but it was one I need. My life was going nowhere and now it feels like things are interesting again with you in it. Thank you, Nishinoya. I thought I'd continued my life. I wasn't crying all the time and I wasn't constantly looking at my phone, waiting, hoping I'd get a text or call or something from you but I wasn't. Yeah, those things stopped but that was just because I filled the hole in my heart with other things. Like two-month relationships and work. I've learned that the one thing that is going to keep me up, is you.
I do so much more because you're in my life. I run, instead of walking. I sing instead of talk. I create art instead of scribbles. I feel like I'm worth so. much. more. I love you, Nishinoya Yu. If soulmates are real then you are mine because my life becomes someone else's. I'm watching moments go by until I see you. I get sucked back in. I'll go anywhere with you. To the moon and back. To the cherry blossom tree, with a picnic basket in hand. New places, I cant wait for those. I love you.

Extra-extra cheese with this, please. Thank you. I don't even care though. Love letters = chefs kiss. Mwah! Be ready because there are still four more to go, har har har. Alrighty, I'll go now. Have an amazingly cheesy day/night or whatever.
