People come and go.
There are times when the world seems to have lost all its colors and the melody of life has turned into agonizing silence.
There are times when your knees feel weak every morning while getting out of bed, and the repetative tune...

Wanna chase a miracle?
Steps of two pairs of shoes could be heard through the entire hallway. Darkness filled up its corners, only light emerging from a staircase and a tall window at its end. You fixed the strap of your bag. It stretched thinner, buried deeper into your shoulder as objects piled inside increased its weight.
It's possible You just gotta open the door
An eerie silence was broken by voice rising in a question. “Are you feeling okay? You know... we can still call it off-“
“Noya.” You sighed, cutting him off. “I´m fine. It´s been over a week or so, stop being dramatic.”
Darling, it's cold out there
“I am not being dramatic!!” The intense voice resonated in a quiet afternoon. “I’m just… I don´t know.” But soon silenced himself. The spiky-haired boy didn´t want to appear as if he was pitying you or whatever. Because he wasn´t. But as the two of you gradually grew closer, more and more worries about your wellbeing filled the small being.
Don't fear the road Just come along with me
“Thank you. It´s nice of you to care but trust me, I´ll be okay. Besides, it´s just you, Tanaka, and me. It´s not like I´m about to hang out with an entire crowd of people.”
The libero shook his head, holding onto his backpack straps. “No, you don´t get it. That is exactly the problem. Tanaka and me. And his sister when she comes home. But those two are creepily alike, it's like Tanaka times two. Can you imagine the three of in one building?! End of the world, I´m telling you.” Big brown eyes focused deadly serious on you. You saw them in the corner of your vision.
You began laughing as you walked. Poisonous enthusiasm in form of vocal melody bounced off the cold walls and lightened up it´s dark atmosphere.
“It´s not funny, your life is at stake!!!”
Only more soft laughter seeped out. You had to stop for a moment to catch your breath. “Noya, calm down. I like you and I don´t mind Tanaka at all. As surprising as it might sound. And I swear, if I´ll have to repeat ‘I’ll be fine’ one more time-“
“Okay fine.” He shrugged his shoulders theatrically. “But I warned you.” He attempted to seem indifferent to the topic afterwards, yet his insides bubbled with excitement. He was glad you accepted his and his friend´s offer to hang out, despite not being exactly a social person. Having Tanaka around was great, but having you around made everything better. He treasured you like a bonus question in a test he´d fail terribly in case there was none. He found so much comfort in your shoulder brushing against his on accident every now and then. But your words warmed him up the most. You liked him. Sure, you didn´t mind Tanaka, but what mattered the most was that you liked him.
