It's been almost a week then since Yamaguchi last saw Tsukki. He barely noticed each day blend into each other as he kept ruminating on certain words that his best friend listlessly uttered last time.

'...blank day.'

Blank moments.

That was what he called those times when Tsukki really could not remember the deeper relationship the two of them shared. A relationship that was more than "just friends". And on those times, their interactions revert to a period in their lives where their every exchange was just platonic. Yamaguchi could not expect a stolen kiss on the cheek a random moment here, warm fingers seeking to wrap themselves around his hand the next, because their friendship was the only relationship in Tsukki's memory that the accident let the middle blocker keep intact.

Yamaguchi was thankful for that, at least. Though admittedly, the former pinch server hopelessly missed those kinds of moments. But he never pushed Tsukki too hard about anything related to how they used to be. After all, the way things are now, each day is about starting anew with Tsukki. It's a no brainer that you can't make a person develop deep feelings of passionate love to you again instantly.

Besides, the two haven't always shared blank moments. There were certain things that happened between the current Tsukki and Yamaguchi that the latter just couldn't understand, if he were to speak of the matter simply. Every aspect of those events still put the freckled high schooler in a quagmire each time he tries to justify them in his mind, so they remain incomprehensible, and he calls those moments... uhhmmm... m-moments.

~#*#~#*#~#*#~#*#~#*#~#*#~#*#~

Just like this one particular visit when he noticed that there was something different about his best friend; something strange.

He thought it was Tsukki being as unmotivated and uninspired as usual, but Yamaguchi couldn't flat out call him lazy, because he could still see the spark of alertness across his best friend's eyes. It was just that Tsukki seemed... more languid than usual? His eyes were hooded but not enough to make him look sleep deprived, just... Like he was suffering from the heat?

'Oh,' Yamaguchi thought that was it and reached out to adjust the thermostat of the air conditioner without consulting Tsukki.

With his back turned to the chick haired middle blocker, he never saw Kei take hold of the notebook Yamaguchi haphazardly left on a bedside table in his rush to fix the temperature of the room to make his best friend comfortable quickly.

When the freckled high schooler turned to face Tsukki, he never expected the other to be sifting through the notebook of his own accord. Usually, it was Yamaguchi having to thrust the notebook at his face and even having to be on his knees and beg just to get Tsukki to read it. The jump float server thought of Tsukishima Kei's pronounced curiosity as something that was unusual in the sense that it wasn't routine, but he never gave it any more thought because he was mostly relieved that he wouldn't have to resort to prostrating himself in front of Tsukki again, hoping he would give the notebook's pages at least a flip.

Tsukki skipped to almost the end of the notebook, backtracking a lot of pages to end somewhere near the middle, reading mostly his last few entries. He flipped through the notebook so sluggishly that Yamaguchi was beginning to be disheartened, already bracing himself for what he thought Tsukki was going to say... or do.
