Dreams and Memories

Chapter 1: No Memories!

Hi I am Yamaguchi Tadashi! I am the zookeeper at the Karasuno zoo! We have a few regulars that come by quite often to check in on the animals, but there is one person in particular that has caught my eye. He is tall, handsome, and beautiful. He has the most beautiful eyes and these beautiful dark grey glasses to go with those beautiful eyes. Most people think that his glasses are black but they are actually dark gray.

The problem is I don't know how to approach him. I was talking to my co-worker Sakusa, who works the lion, cheetah, and all of the other felin enclosures, he said that he knows this handson regular very well. He told me that mr. handsome worked with the person that he has been crushing on for the longest time.

"How did you and, what was his name Atsumu, meet again? I don't remember." I asked with a slight smirk.

"We met at a bookstore. You know the place I spend most of my time outside of work. Well Atsumu had been sitting in my seat and I had kind of gotten mad but made a compromise and I ended up sitting across from him. He had bugged me no stop until I agreed to hangout with him outside of the bookshop. I had a lot of fun when I hung out with him." Sakusa said with a look of contentment in his eyes. "He understands my boundaries and respects them."

"You know what I think?" I asked, my smirk growing as the small smile that was hidden by the mask that he always wears had grown a little bit as he continued to talk about Atsumu.

"What?" He had asked, his smile fading just the smallest bit.

"I think that you should ask him out already. You obviously like him a lot." I said my smirk turned into more of a supportive smile. "Also if he hurts you I hurt him!" I said going into what our co-worker who trains the reptiles calls my 'mom mode'.

"Yamaguchi, we have been over this, no hurting Atsumu even if he hurts me. He more than likely would never mean to hurt me on purpose. He is too kind. Sort of like you in that sense I guess." He replied.

"Yes we have been over this. If he does hurt you on purpose then I hurt him physically. If he hurts you by accident then I talk to him and make him realize that he hurt you and if he truly cares about you then that will hurt him mentally." I said with a proud smile on my face.

"And what if I ask you not to talk to him if he hurts me by accident?' Sakusa asked, being kind of sheepish. Sakusa kiyoomi being sheepish? That isn't normal. He really likes this dude. I smile at him as I say.

"Then I would comfort you to the best of my abilities." I said in a very comforting tone.

"Thanks. That means a lot." he says. "Hey I really should get back to work. Oh, and just so you know, Atsumu is Tsukishima's assistant."

"Tsuki... Who?" Why did that name sound so familiar?

"The dude that you are swooning over." Sakusa said teasingly. "I will leave you with your thoughts. Oh and say hi to Sugawara for me will you?"

"Yeah I will tell him you say hi! Good luck with training today!"

"Yeah, thanks." He said as he started walking out of the reptile kingdom. "See you later!" He yelled as he walked out of the door.

"Bye!" I called back.

Alright time to get to work and that is exactly what I did. I clocked in, walked into the back room, checked the schedule for the day and saw that I had seven tours to do each being an hour long and that I had a hour long show to do with some of our more popular reptiles. I went into the locker room and got into uniform. After six of the seven tours it was time for the seventh. I sigh and walk up to the person who had reserved the private tour.

"Hello and welcome to the Karasuno Zoo's Reptile Kingdom! I am Yamauchi Tadashi and I will be your tour guide for the day!" I say with a very tired, obviously fake smile on my face. I hadn't even looked at the person I was given a tour to. I look up to see none other than Tsuki. Wait! I still can't remember where I know him from. Maybe I could ask him... No that is stupid. Before I could think through what I was about to say I said.

"I swear I know you from somewhere but I can't remember where." I say without realising it. I covered my mouth with my hand as fast as humanly possible.

"I'm not surprised that you don't remember. I mean after what happened I can't really blame you." he had said, he had this sad look in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" I had asked tilting my head to the side slightly.
