Haikyuu! Striking Thoughts

Remember

🏐

Karasuno no. 1 usually comes home with a smile on his face. It started long before you became a thing and now that you two are, it was just a bonus. Today, when you opened the door for him however, something's just not right the moment Ennoshita stepped in with a visible frown. You enveloped him in a hug, immediately succumbing himself in it. "Chikara, what's wrong?," you place a hand on the back of his head, the other draping his torso. He pulled you close in return. He felt vulnerable to your touch, so weak. You knew then that he's close to breaking and he needed you to be there. Slowly, you lead him further in and stopping to sit in one of the kitchen chairs. You faced him. He look so disappointed about something you can't exactly predict. His fingers trembled, his lip quivered. Ennoshita could cry any minute. "Chikara, you need to talk to me," your voice was soothing, lulling him out of his misery. You had to fight back tears when he meets your eyes because it held devastation and regret. "I ran away," was all he told you. He hung his head low, taking your hand in his and squeezing it. Everything was clear now. He was referring to volleyball. "Remember when you ran away from me too?," you rub his back, enlightening the mood also. "You came back to me eventually," you lean your head in his shoulder. Smiling. "Soon you will Ennoshita. I don't see a difference," you kissed his hand. Chikara stared at the wall, hope starting to fill his dead spirit.
