As the days went by and the spring seasons came, the cherry blossoms filled the air with their scent. It was especially strong in the area around Oikawa and Ushijima's Dormitory. Being on the same team, they both had decided to go to the same University and even planned on joining a professional team together.

But this spring day each had gone their separate ways, Oikawa was planning to meet up with Iwazumi. And Ushijima had gone to his mother's home.

 "I can't wait to show you all the pictures Ushijima and I took on the econ major trip, it was so much fun. Anyway, I can't wait to see you it's been too long Iwa-chan." Oikawa beamed as he made his way to the Sakura cafe. He was meeting up with Iwa-chan and couldn't help but smile gleefully.

" Sure thing Trashykawa, just don't be late I have a surprise I want to show you," Iwazumi replied.

"Oh really, Iwa-chan I'm so excited I'll be right over," he began jogging, ' Meeting Iwa-chan and getting a surprise all at once, I must be blessed today', he thought. As he neared the cafe he could see Iwazumi already seated at a table near the front window of the cafe. But as he got closer Oikawa spotted a girl next to him. A blonde he felt he had seen before, but couldn't remember.

'Whose that, I don't remember him mentioning he would bring someone and a Girl at that.' Oikawa hid behind the brick wall pressing himself against the cold rock as he moved nearer. He was just inches away from the cafe door, as it swung open aromas of baked goods and ground coffee beans flooded the air. The scent was almost intoxicating but Oikawa was more fixed on Iwazumi. He had started to catch snit bits of their conversation. 

                        "He'll be so . . .                                                                                                                                                                                 I can't wait ...                                                                                                                                                                                        why don't I ...   Sure just ...                                                                                                                                                                                                         No, I'm slightly anxious ...                                                                                                                                         No, no it's fine ...                                                                                                                                                  Yeah, he should ...                                                                                                                                                    Never mind it ...                                                                                                                                                                                     The eclairs are ...                                                                                                                                                           Did you ...                                                                                                                                                                                                     I thought ..."      

They stopped talking for a second, Oikawa stood frozen in place, but they resumed after a minute or so, He let out a sigh, standing there for just a minute more until he heard it, "Oikawa will be so happy after he finds out I have a girlfriend, I can't wait to see his face."

Oikawa recognised the voice immediately, his beloved Iwa-chan had a GIRLFRIEND! He felt weak all of a sudden, his stomach began to lurch causing him to feel sick. He buckled down hitting the hard concrete floor, the last thing he saw was a man wearing a medics suit rushing towards him, asking him his name, to answer him back cooly telling him to stay awake, Oikawa's conciseness faded and the last scent he smelled was burned cigarette on cold concrete.

"Huh, who's there," Oikawa asked, " Where am I?". He was standing on what looked like a cloud but felt harder, and he could see everything around him, just miles and miles of clouds and cotton candy coloured sky. He felt warm and safe, until he heard it again, "Oikawa," They whispered, " the darkness calls you, Oikawa!" The voice seemed far off yet near at the same time, he began to walk around, but everything looked the same. "Oikawa," The voice called out again, "Let go of the demon before he kills you." They chanted, calling out to him warning him of the perilous danger he was in.

"What demon, what are you talking about, Who are You for that matter." Asking questions got him nowhere. "Oikawa who we are is not what's important it's of the dangers you face, please listen, we heed you stay away from all that is black in nature and soul, don't be fooled by the foul green eyes, green only promises greed and vengeance. Listen to us and do not be rash you will pay for it, dear King.".

Oikawa was beyond confused, but he chose to trust this secret voice, whatever it was. " Then what must I do to protect myself from all that it black?" He questioned, the voice answered " Look for the olive tree that surrounds the jewel which is teal. Find the warmth that lies in the stone statue and find companionship in the loyal hound. Goodbye, your highness, may you choose the path which guides you to glory."

Oikawa woke up, sweating, scared but for the most part, confused. He slowly opened his eyes, starting to feel a heavyweight weighing him down. As he fully opened his eyes, he found none other than Ushijima asleep, his head resting on Oikawa's stomach area. Oikawa didn't want him waking up so he tried to constrict his movement as much as possible.

Slowly lifting his hand up Oikawa moved it a bit, just enough to reach the glass of water. The more he moved the tighter Ushijima's grip became, until at last Oikawa couldn't breath, "Ushiwaka, move! I can't breath."
