Silently Pining

Single

At school, you avoided Terushima. He would look for you during breaks, and you'd go to hide from him.

He wondered where you went but quickly shrugged it off. When he couldn't find you, he decided to go look for any girl he could find and make out with her instead of continuing to look for you.

You looked for Hana during one break within the week. "Hana-san."

She turned to look at you, concern in her eyes. "Y/n, what's going on?"

"Terushima cheated on me."

Hana's eyes widened. "He did what?!"

"I went to his house one day and he was fucking some other girl. I told my parents, I haven't seen him since, and I'll be dumping him by text once I leave the prefecture."

'You're leaving the prefecture?"

You nod. "My parents and I agreed that I could move in with my cousin in Tokyo. I'll be transferring to Fukurodani."

"Does your cousin know?"

Again, you nod. "I texted him this morning. He says I'm always more than welcome to stay with him. He even agreed to help me adjust to the school and Tokyo as a whole."

Hana sighed. "I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later. When are you moving?"

"Today after school. I won't be starting school at Fukurodani until next week. So I'll be taking the rest of the week and the weekend to just settle in."

"I see. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too, Hana-san."

She gives you a hug. "I'm so sorry Terushima did that to you."

You let out a sob, a tear rolling down your face. "I wish I never agreed to go out with him. Things would've been better if I never got involved with Terushima."

Hana squeezed you lightly. "I know this is serious. You never call him by his last name."

"He's dead to me."

"I'll make sure he gets what he deserves when you're gone."

You smile at her, slowly backing away from the hug. "Thanks, Hana-san."

"Of course. I'd do anything for you, Y/n-chan. I hope things get better for you in Tokyo."

"Me too." You back away, beginning to turn and leave her.

"Don't hesitate to text me when you're in Tokyo. Me and the other mangers would love to travel and spend some time with you, whenever you want."

You wipe your tears, your smile stretching on your face. "I appreciate. I wouldn't mind hanging out with all of you again."

She waves to you as you start walking away. You felt a little better, Hana usually knows what to say and do to cheer you up whenever you feel upset.

When the school day ends, you rush to leave your classroom. You prepare to exit the building when your name gets called by a familiar voice.

"Y/n!" Terushima.

You stop, not looking at him. "What?"

"I've been looking for you all week. Where ya been?"

"Not with you."

He walks over standing beside you, trying to touch you. "What's going on?"

You move away from him, refusing to let him touch you. "I don't want to talk to you. I'm going home."

"Did I do something?"

You stop, turning to glare at him. "You fucked another girl, so yeah, I'd say you did something."

"How...?"

"I went to your house over the weekend. I was gonna let you do whatever you wanted with me, but you already had someone else with you in your bed."

Terushima takes a step closer to you. "Look, I-"

"I don't wanna hear it. We're done. I'm not your girlfriend anymore and I want nothing to do with you. Leave me alone, Terushima." You walk away, not allowing him to say another word.

You go home, grabbing everything you packed and head to the train station. You get onto the train, taking a seat. You get your phone out of your pocket and begin to text your cousin.

You: I got on the train. I should be there in a few hours

Keiji: Ok. I'm not going to practice today, so I'll be there to pick you up and take you home

You: Thanks

Keiji: It's no problem. I'm sorry again about what happened with Terushima. He shouldn't have done that

You: It's whatever. I don't wanna think about it, or him, anymore

Keiji: I understand. I'll see you when you get here

You: Yeah, see you

You smile to yourself, glad that you have a cousin like Akaashi.

"Keiji really is nice. I'm happy that I'll get the chance to get to know him better. Maybe I can get to know the rest of the Fukurodani volleyball club."

You look out of the train window, trying to focus on the journey away from the Miyagi prefecture. You hoped things would go well once you start living in the Tokyo prefecture. You were nervous, about to go into unfamiliar territory. It was nerve-wracking to think of how your whole life was changing just because one thing happened.

You knew Akaashi would be kind and understanding, but you were worried what other people might think if they were to find out. You hoped you wouldn't get made fun of, or anything like that. But you didn't know what might possibly happen in Tokyo, and that fact scared you a little bit.

Akaashi was about to leave the school, when Bokuto found him.

"Akaashi! Where you going? The gym is this way!" The ace pointed in the direction of the volleyball gym.

Akaashi sighed, turning to the loud boy. "I won't be at practice today, Bokuto-san. I already told the coach."

Bokuto deflated. "Why won't you be there?"

The setter sighed. "Y/n-sama is moving here and will be living with me, so I have to go pick her up from the train station today."

The captain perked back up. "Your cousin's moving here? Will she be coming to Fukurodani?"

Akaashi nods. "Yes. She already got all the transfer paperwork done and will be starting next week."

"She's not coming tomorrow?"

The setter shakes his head. "No, she needs to take the rest of the week to calm down and settle in."

Bokuto tips his head to one side. "Calm down? Did something happen?"

Akaashi sighs, looking at the ground. "Terushima cheated on her and she broke up with him."

"I'm telling Nekoma."
