⚠️ THIS CHAPTER AND THE CHAPTERS TO COME WILL CONTAIN A LOT OF MANGA SPOILERS ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN WHEN THEY GRADUATE⚠️

I know this isn't EXACTLY what happens but oh well 🤷‍♀️

Time skip and what's going on:
Hinata has graduated high school along with Kageyama.

The two had been secretly dating for the last three years of highschool and broke up just before graduation.

They parted ways and now Hinata is just about to join a professional team: MSBY Black Jackals.

When he gets to the introductory practice however, he reunites with someone very unexpected...

Hinata POV
I breathed in the fresh air of Japan as I stepped out of the airport.

I've never been the best at organising and I guess coming back the same day as orientation wasn't the best idea.

Either way it was good to be back.

I took off my face mask and threw my backpack over my shoulders.

"I could've picked you up from the other terminal you know"

I turned around and smiled at the sight of a familiar face.

Although our break up was complicated, it was so long ago that there was barely any tension between us.

It honestly just felt normal to me.

"What about a 'hello', Kageyama? You can't even say that much? I haven't seen you in so long"

I smiled at him before crossing the road.

"Can't you drive yourself, dumbass?" he said, greeting me with a short hug and opening the car door for me.

"Of course I can, but it's easier if you do it"

Four years since graduation and he hasn't changed a bit.

Because of the All-Japan training camp he attended in his first year, he joined a professional league almost immediately.

Schweiden Alters.

I played beach volleyball in Brazil for awhile and just came back to Japan to join my own professional team.

MSBY black jakals.

Kageyamas team had been the reigning champions for some time now.

That's to be expected; from our age group they have Kageyama, Ushiwaka and Hoshiumi.

That's quite a powerhouse team.

When they sent me the team details it was in english for some reason, so I have no idea who's in it besides Bokuto.

I've kept in touch with him.

Kageyamas car smelt like him.
It was kinda nice actually.

"Is this where you're staying?" he says pulling up to an apartment building close to the stadiums.

"Sure is" I say "Thanks for coming to pick me up"

"No problem" he says "But don't expect me to be your personal driver or anything"

"It was nice seeing you. We should catch up later"

"Whatever."

I know he was excited to see me.
I guess he's just as monotoned as ever.

"Room 13" I tell the lady at the front desk "Shouyo Hinata"

"Just a moment please"

I look around the place as she searches my make up.

It's nice; much different to Brazil.
Then again when I first went to Brazil I was shocked at how different it was to Japan.

It's nice to be back.
No matter how excited I was to play internationally I did start to get a bit homesick.

The lady handed me the keys and I thanked her as I got into the lift.

It was on floor two.
The apartment was small but nothing I couldn't handle.

I've always lived in small homes so I was used to it I guess.

Although, I have grown a lot since high school.

172.2cm and a lot better off than I was back then. Both physically and emotionally.

By the time I'd finally gotten used to the place and slept off the jet lag, Bokuto was already outside.

"Hey, hey, hey!" He said throwing his arms in the air.

I guess Kageyama isn't the only one who hasn't changed.

"It's been awhile, Bokuto!"

I greeted him and hopped in his car which he told me he had just rented recently.

Kageyamas car smelled like him and he seemed to have had it for awhile. I assumed he inherited it.

This car smelled new.

"When'd you get back?" he asked as he took the hand break off.

"This morning" I said "I've been sleeping since 6:00"

Am, not Pm

"Who picked you up from the airport? Did you rent a car?"

"Kageyama did actually"

"Riiiight. Last time I saw that guy was at the spring tournament."

"Has he improved since high school?"

"Improved? Talk about an understatement!"

I haven't kept up with a lot of the professional teams and such.

I've been so focused with my own game and travel funds that it's been hard to keep in touch.

The last person I saw from Japan was Oikawa in a brazil tournament.

We pulled up to the training grounds and I got out as Bokuto parked.

It was huge!

I had been invited to the team by Mr. Foster a little while ago but had to hold off since I needed to wrap up my international training.

Now I'm finally here.

"Bokkun!"

A familiar voice sent shivers down my spine.

Even though it's been so long....
...I know I've heard it.
I know that voice all too well.

"Tsum-Tsum!" Bokuto shouted as he got out the car.

I held my breath as I turned around.

Standing there, smiling and waving was a tall figure that had once kissed me breathless.

He was different and yet the exact same.

His sides were shaven a bit more. It looked cleaner and really cool!

He was taller too; well over six feet.

His smile hadn't changed though; it was still playful and almost like a constant grin.

I liked his smile.

His expression changed when he looked my way. It almost softened a little.

Soon we both faced each other and looked each other in the eyes in an attempt to comprehend what was going on.

What we were seeing.

After all this time, there he was standing right in front of me.

Atsumu Miya.
Atsumu Miya was my new teammate?
