Your Second Option | Haikyuu Fanfic

Far From You

It's a day like this that I miss Tsumu the most.

"Hi, Omi-omi! How are you?" Atsumu asked his boyfriend through a video call.

"Hi, Tsumu. F.. Fine, just... Missing you". Kiyoomi stuttered trying to keep his eyes straight to his phone screen. But deep down, he's almost tearing up just looking at his boyfriend.

"Aaaw, Omi, I miss you too... Where are you?"

"At the mall with Komori and Akagi", Kiyoomi said before turning the camera around to focus on the couple walking ahead of him, holding each other's hand.

"Third wheeling much, babe? Haha". Atsumu chuckled a little making the black hair giggle.

"Haha... Yeah...".

They were silent for a few moments, Atsumu looking with tenderness at the recent couple, but Omi still fighting the urge to cry.

It's been six months since Atsumu, his five-year boyfriend, went to
the United States to train for a year with a renowned volleyball team.

It was a great opportunity for him, one that rarely happens, so when he told him the news, he was thrilled for him. Kiyoomi felt so proud.

But also make his heart shatter into pieces. Just the thought of being apart from Atsumu hurts him.

He wouldn't see him for over a year. Just when he was about to ask him to move in with him. But he knew exactly that this opportunity means a lot to his boyfriend.

"Omi?" Atsumu asked with worry in his tone.

His voice made him react and quickly wiped away the tears that escaped his eyes before turning the camera back to him.

"Babe, I'll call you later, okay? I forgot something in the car", said as plain as he could, but his emotions betrayed him, and his voice broke at the last word.

"Omi, are you okay? Wait-", Atsumu began, worried, but his boyfriend had already ended the video call.

Kiyoomi told Komori that he was going to the car to get something, and then walked as fast as he could to get there before not being able to contain his sorrow.

Before he could even open the car, he held tightly to the door handle, and slowly fell to his knees. He clenched into his sweater jacket, bursting his tears. He couldn't contain it, he began crying uncontrollably for almost an entire minute. He slowly stood, got inside the car, and broke down, continuously crying his heart out while squeezing the wheel with both hands and burying his face in his arms.

He missed him so much, it physically hurt sometimes. He really needed him, in every way, and seeing his cousin with his boyfriend being so happy made him realize how alone he felt, how much Atsumu's absence affected him.

All of a sudden those emotions overflowed and he wasn't able to handle them, which wasn't usually like himself.

But those last couple of months has been the worst for him, crying becoming more and more common.

His phone rang and Kiyoomi picked it up to turn it off until he saw
it was a call from Atsumu.

He didn't want Atsumu to hear or see him like this. He didn't want him to feel bad or have any distractions from his career, so he rejected the call.

Instantly, Atsumu wrote him several messages, asking if he was okay, clearly worried about him.

Kiyoomi barely typed that he wasn't feeling well, and as soon as that message was sent, Atsumu called again.

This time, he answered, needing to hear his voice.

"Omi, love, what's wrong? Did something hap-". The blonde froze when he heard his boyfriend's broken voice while crying uncontrollably. He'd never heard him break down like this before.

His chest instantly ached and tears began to stream down his face as well.

"I'm sorry, Tsumu. I didn't... want.. you to hear or see.. me like this... It's just... I miss you so much..., you have no idea...", the black-haired man said between sobs.

"Omi...".

Both began to cry with even more sadness, their hearts clenching by the crushing pain from being separated.

"Baby, I miss you so much, every day, every minute, every second there is... I miss you badly, Baby.", the blonde continued with a raspy voice. "I love you even more as days go by... But we have to be strong. Omi... Knowing that you love me and that you're waiting for me keeps me going. We just have to hold on for another half a year and we'll be together again".

"It seems so distant. These months have been torture without you by my side".

"For me too, babe... I really want to caress your face, and wipe those tears of yours, Baby..."

Kiyoomi sniffed terribly.

"It's only distance. It's only a few months. I know those things won't affect us". Tsumu continued.

Kiyoomi sighed, trying to breathe evenly to calm down.
"God, I can't wait to see you".

Both smiled melancholically, glad to know they had each other, but still feeling that weight in their stomachs.

"I love you, Tsumu".

"I love you, Omi".
