2nd person POV

Slowly, you walked towards the white bedroom door then lightly knocked, trying not to wake Yamaguchi.

"Finished?" Tsukishima asked.

"Yes." You said. "Can we hear from Miku next? The stuff Noya said is kinda freaking me out a bit."

"I don't care." The two of you walked back into the living room. Tsukishima cleared his throat and started reading, again all you could hear was Miku's voice.

Y/n,

I want to start by saying sorry. I shouldn't have blown up at you the way I did. The things I said were horrible and I know I'll never be able to take them back but, I can apologize for them can't I? I hate the person that came out of me, it's who I was and I've spent years working hard to not be like that anymore. I don't see you as... Well, I'm not gonna repeat what I said.

This is not me trying to validate what I said but, I hope you understand why I got so mad. Akio is like a brother to me, was like a brother to me. I still love him and all but I guess I didn't know him the way I thought I did. Or you for that matter. I'm supposed to be your friend and I didn't see how unhappy you were in your relationship. I was clouded by my selfishness, I'm sorry.

I'd love for you to come home. The house feels so empty without you, it's a little cleaner but still. Yachi looks like she's going to cry every time she walks past your bedroom. I swear she's acting like you're dead. You're not. Not to me at least.

You've been there for me through all my shit, it means so much to me. I know I don't say it enough but I appreciate you. You always find a way to make me smile and even though other people might think I hate you, I don't. I love you. You're one of my best friends. One of the best people I've ever met. I remember when I first got my job at the cafe you came every day to help me talk to people. If you didn't do that I probably would have cried and quit, never experiencing something that I currently am having so much fun doing. Without you, I probably wouldn't be in a relationship with Jiyu. Yeah, she told me how you were the one who arranged that whole thing. I never got to properly thank you for anything you do. That's what I'm doing now, saying thank you.

I'm wishing you and Nishinoya the best. Everyone told me about how you were in high school. As much as I hate to admit it, you seem happier with him than with Akio. And he's ok too. No hate for you from anyone. Also, there's a whole box of strawberries waiting for you in the fridge. Hurry and come home before they go bad.

"I think that is the most emotion Miku has expressed, ever. I'm a little doubtful it was them that wrote this." Tsukishima said, placing another piece of paper down on the coffee table.

"Thank you." You mumbled. "I'm so grateful for him."

"Want me to go?"

"It's your choice." He slowly stood up and you began to write.

Miku,

It's ok. We both said really shitty things to one another. No matter what the circumstances I shouldn't have said that stuff about your family. You trusted me with that and I used it against you. I'm so sorry. I get why you were so upset, I know how strong you're relationship with Akio is. I wouldn't have even met him if it wasn't for you.

I've seen how hard you've been working to be better and I'm proud of you, I know I don't say that enough but I am. And you are an amazing friend to me. You're always there for people when they need you, whether it's in a kind-hearted way or being honest, the kinda honest I need. I can be a little, emotional sometimes and you're always there for me, even when you know that the reason I'm upset is stupid. You make me feel safe and heard.

Everything with Nishi has been tough but I have a good feeling that we're gonna figure it out. I know you aren't thrilled about it but, I really do love him. Akio is an amazing guy but he's not the guy for me. Thank you for your support. Throughout my previous relationships, this newish one and everything else.

Be home soon.

"Ready?" Tsukishima asked, opening the final letter.

"No. This is gonna be the worst," You sighed.

"That's ok," He placed a hand on your shoulder, "I'm here." He smiled softly at you.

"Are you.....being nice?" You raised an eyebrow.

"I'm leaving." He announced, but his hand didn't move from your shoulder.

"I'm only kidding. Thank you Tsukki." You placed your hand atop his and he began to read from the piece of paper stained with teardrops.

Dear Y/n,

Lately, I've been feeling lots of emotions. Anger, betrayal, sadness, jealously, guilt, shame, hate, but most of all I've been feeling like a complete and utter idiot. I know that I haven't been present for the last few months and I have no excuse for that except, I knew that we weren't right. The two of us have always had more of a friendship-led relationship rather than a romance-led one. I mean the only times we saw one another was with our friends. We hung out at each other's houses but a lot of that time was spent sleeping. I could feel us slowly being pulled in opposite directions.

When Nishinoya showed up it was just like a mountain was dropped on our tiny string of a relationship and we expected to be able to support it as if we weren't being torn. I don't hold that against him, or you either. Like I said before, sometimes people use others to heal themselves. And I know you didn't mean to hurt me but you did. I hurt you too.

I drifted because I didn't want to accept the fact that we weren't going to be together forever. I do now. It's gonna take me a while to get used to seeing you and Nishinoya together but I also feel like it won't. You two fit. It's like when you were created the universe carved you from the same stone.

Don't worry, I won't get in your way. I think I'm gonna take time to focus on myself for a bit. Get my grades up, bet you didn't know I got a 67% on that essay. I'm joking, it's not like we talked that much about school anyways. We didn't talk much about anything important.

I'll catch you later Y/n, and thank you. I enjoyed this for what it was, two people crossing paths on their way to finding their truth.

- Akio Furukawa

At some point you had started crying, sobbing into Tsukishimas chest. He placed the paper down on the table and wrapped his arms around you, gently squeezing.

"He was saying goodbye." You sobbed. "He was saying goodbye." You repeated over and over as Tsukki rubbed your head.

For a while, you just sat there and sobbed, trying to process the fact that you might not see Akio again. Everything he said made so much sense it hurt. That's when you finally knew what to say.

Dear Akio,

Good luck. You were always destined for greatness. Thank you for helping me on my path.

Catch you later.
