Soft Heart | Tsukishima [COMPLETED]

Chapter 13

Today was the day. Yuki was finally returning to Karasuno. It was Friday and classes didn't start until Monday but she decided to move in today so that she had the weekend to settle in.

She was still at home, packing what she needed for the next few weeks. She decided she was going to make her room at school as comfortable as possibly to make her feel more at home. She brought posters from home to hang up on the wall, and fairy lights to hang up around her ceiling. She was excited to see the final product.

She had finally closed up her suitcase and walked it out the the living room, slowing down as she passed through the hallways where the pictures were hung.

Pictures of the family, pictures of her and Hana, pictures of her and Shimizu.

It's so odd for Yuki to think back to the time where the older girl would just show up in her bedroom and force her out of the house, even just to go sit outside and chat. It all seemed so unfamiliar to her now.

As she reached the living room she saw her family waiting there for her.

"You ready, dear?" Her father asked, getting ready to leave for the long drive to Karasuno.

"Yep!" She smiled at her father. He and her mother then walked out of the living room past Yuki leaving her and Hana alone in the room together.

"Hana, the babysitting is coming over, right?" Yuki asked her sister.

"Yeah..." she moped.

"Hey, It's going to be okay, Hana!" She hugged her sister, "I PROMISE, I will visit more often, I'll take the train every once in a while to come home for the weekend, alright?"

"O-okay. And can I FaceTime you off of moms phone?" She aksed her older sister, her eyes lighting up.

"Of course." She smiled, "I'm going to miss you so much, Hana. I can't believe it's time to go already."

"I'm going to miss you a lot too." She sighed.

"Alright, I have to get going if I want to get there at a good hour. The babysitter will be here in just a few minutes, so stay in the living room until she gets here,okay?"

"Okay."

"I love you, Hana" The older girl embraced her sister once more before turning down the hallway to leave.

"I love you too" she whispered.

Yuki opened her eyes to see Karasuno come into view.

'Did I really just sleep through the entire ride?" She thought to herself.

She looked around, yawning, looking for anybody she knew, but it looked like nobody was on campus. They finally pulled up to the building where Yuki's room was and she jumped out of the car to stretch her legs.

"Jeez, this school is too far away!" She screeches as she stretched out her arms and legs.

"You're tellin me!" Her dad laughed, "It costs a fortune in gas to get here!"

She pulled her phone out of her pocket to see a notification from 2 hours ago.
