Stolen Heart (Haikyuu!!) 【UNDER REVISION】

Weekend

It was a bright, Sunday morning, perfect for a stroll around the park or the neigbourhood. Hotaru was already prepped up for the whole free day that she has to spend.

Yesterday's three-on-three match between Yamaguchi-Tsukishima pair and Kageyama-Hinata pair was quite emotional. Well no, not really. It was just that there seemed to be a series of revelations or stories from when the raven-haired and ginger-haired boys were in junior high.

It still weighed in her mind as she thought deeply about it. Everyone really do have stories that are to be told. And the same concept goes along with her too. She, too, has something that she had kept and had not told anyone about it. Even to her siblings whom she is very close to.

As she was on her way out of the Hoshizawa household, her mum called out to her and told her something she did not expect, "Hotaru, are you going out?" She could hear her mum ask from the kitchen.

"Yes, mum," she responded as she tapped the front part of her shoes on the ground, while one of her hand was holding onto the door knob.

"Go visit your grandparents on the way, yes? They said they wanted to see you." What? Hotaru did not know that her grandparents are also living around the area.

Is that why her parents also decided to live in this area too? Oh, wait. Her father's job got relocated, so it seems reasonable that they change houses too.

Sighing, the high-school girl said 'yes' before she bid goodbye to her mum and went out of the house, locking the door behind her.

She passed by the Sakanoshita shop on her way, then continued walking straight down the path that her mother had told her. It was not quite far now, as far as she knows.

Her mother told her that her grandparents' house is a large traditional house in the midst of Japanese modern houses. And it was the first thing she spotted, when she arrived at the area.

Honestly, it impressed her how it was well-cared and despiye it looking quite old and...traditional, it was still really amazing and beautiful. The sight really takes you back to the times where houses all look like this.

Tsukishima was currently inside his room, lazing around on the chair as he looked around. Dinosaur-figurines lined up his shelves, along with a volleyball. On his study table, few books were stacked up, his writing tools properly gathered in an organizer.

It was cleaner than your usual boy's room, although it was no wonder if it's Tsukishima. He hated being messy after all, especially if somebody touches the things inside his room.

He stood up, walked to the window and looked outside when he spotted a familiar figure of a girl in front of the traditional house, opposite his house.

The girl had dark brown hair with blonde tips, gathered in a high ponytail. Her figure, slim and her height reached almost his chin if ever she stood next to him.

He knew her. In fact, she's in the same class as him and Yamaguchi and she's one of their managers in the volleyball club. There's also the fact that he and Yamaguchi had accompanied her home the other day.

What is she doing here?

The blonde male's eyes narrowed a bit in curiosity as he saw her knock on the wooden gate before entering when an elderly woman opened it and seemed to invite her inside.

"Kei? Breakfast is ready. Come down and eat," he heard his mother knock on the door of his room as she called him out for breakfast.

"Coming," came his soft response as he reluctantly walked away from the window, seeing Hotaru disappear behind the wooden gates of the traditional home. He went downstairs to eat breakfast with his mum, seeing that his brother is away from home and was currently working in Sendai whilst studying.
