Chapter Two: A Promise Across the Miles

Distance had never felt more real than when Sakusa Kiyoomi watched Miya Atsumu's flight take off from Narita International Airport. The ache in his chest was almost unbearable, and he couldn't help but feel a gnawing sense of loneliness settle in his heart. It was the price they paid for pursuing their individual careers, but it didn't make it any easier.

Over the next few weeks, Sakusa threw himself into his training and professional commitments, hoping that the busyness would distract him from the empty space Atsumu had left behind. He reminded himself daily of their promise to find their way back to each other, but the uncertainty of when that might happen weighed heavily on him.

Late one evening, Sakusa found himself sitting on his balcony, staring up at the moon. It was a clear night, and the stars seemed to shimmer with a promise of their own. He couldn't help but think of Atsumu and how they used to share stories and dreams under the night sky.

His phone buzzed, breaking his reverie. It was a message from Atsumu.

Atsumu: Hey there, Omi-kun! Miss me yet? 😜

Sakusa couldn't help but smile at the familiar teasing tone.

Sakusa: Maybe a little.

Atsumu: I knew it! So, I've been thinking...

Sakusa raised an eyebrow. Sakusa: About what?

Atsumu: About us. I don't want to just wait for fate to bring us back together.

Atsumu: What if we plan a visit? I can get some time off in a few months.

Sakusa's heart skipped a beat. The idea of seeing Atsumu again, even for a short visit, was tempting.

Sakusa: That could work. Where would you want to meet?

Atsumu: How about Barcelona? I hear it's beautiful this time of year.

Sakusa nodded to himself. Barcelona did sound enticing, and it was a neutral ground where they could create new memories.

Sakusa: Barcelona it is. Let's plan it.

Over the next few weeks, they coordinated their schedules and made all the necessary arrangements for their reunion. The anticipation of seeing Atsumu again brought a newfound energy to Sakusa's life. He couldn't help but count down the days until they would be in each other's arms.

Finally, the day arrived. Sakusa boarded his flight to Barcelona, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves. As he stepped off the plane and into the bustling airport, he couldn't help but wonder if Atsumu felt the same way.

Waiting at the arrival gate, Sakusa's eyes scanned the crowd until they locked onto a familiar mop of blonde hair. Atsumu was there, holding a sign that read "Welcome Back, Omi-kun."

Sakusa couldn't help but smile as he approached Atsumu, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Atsumu," Sakusa said, his voice filled with warmth.

"Atsumu enveloped Sakusa in a tight hug, and all the distance, all the longing, melted away in that moment.

They spent their days exploring the streets of Barcelona, savoring delicious food, and rediscovering the simple joy of being together. Each day was a new adventure, and their nights were filled with laughter, whispered promises, and the rekindling of a love that had never truly faded.

As they watched the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea, Atsumu turned to Sakusa, his eyes filled with sincerity. "Omi-kun, no matter where we are in the world, you'll always be my home."

Sakusa couldn't agree more. With Atsumu by his side, the promise they had made across the miles felt more solid than ever before. Their love was a force that could conquer any distance, and they were determined to make every moment count until the day they would find their way back to each other, once and for all.
