Haikyuu! Striking Thoughts

Defeat

🏐

Tightly you held the item you will personally give to Daichi: bright red lucky charm. Heat rose up to your cheeks as you recalled how you bought the charm. You were strolling in a temple when you caught sight of the said souvenir. It wasn't something vendors often sell on the streets that makes it special. It's  baptised and is a charm indeed for it has a blessing from the deity above. Instantly you knew you wanted to be thoughtful and pick the one that indicated certain victory. I sure hope Daichi would appreciate this, you had prayed along with your plenty other wishes that day. You kept it 'til the Spring Volleyball Tournament came. Thinking about how the captain would react, words he might say to you, the expression he'll make run circles at the back of your head. He's been your crush since your first year at Karasuno. You don't want to mess up this one time opportunity. You then heard the arrival of the team, and you watch closely from the distance as the athletes hopped off the bus. He went down last. You flushed. Just as you were about to approach him and you've swallowed all the nerves you're containing, your heart broke in two. Yui Michimiya, Karasuno Girl's VBC captain, was already talking to Daichi. She shakily gave him what turned out to be the exact same lucky charm that rests on your palm. You bit your lip as you clenched your fists. Sighed in total defeat. I hate you, you ran off. Both of you.
