CHAPTER 三

cream puff memories

a/n: ughh this chapter's so bad. the weather was really hot as i wrote this and my brain is just mush rn..

Toshi ended up arriving at school during lunch. He did of course end up getting a scolding once his teacher saw him on the school grounds. Toshi sometimes wonders how he hasn't been expelled yet...

Whilst munching on some vanilla cream puffs, a dessert that was the first thing that he and Osamu made together back in their junior high days, Toshi decided to look for the other members of the volleyball club. To be honest he wasn't really close with anyone outside of the volleyball club. People usually kept their distance from Toshi, not wanting to get caught up in his shenanigans. Toshi of course, didn't mind that much. As long as he had the volleyball team along with Osamu and Atsumu, then everything would be okay.

As he was walking around, Toshi managed to find both Suga and Hinata practising together. They both had gotten rid of their gakuran and had decided to roll up their sleeves. Hinata had also rolled up the legs of his trousers.

"Yo." Toshi greets the pair as he finishes off his last cream puff.

"Hello Toshi." Suga greets him with an angelic smile.

"Nikijima! Are you going to help us?" Hinata excitedly asks.

"Ah, I would but the Vice Principal might catch me." Toshi ruffles his hair in frustration before pouting, "This sucks. He could have told me to clean the school a bunch but he had to take away one of the things that I found as an escape..."

Of course the other thing that was an escape for Toshi was cooking with Osamu. Whenever it was just the two of them on a Saturday afternoon, the pair would cook together. On Saturday afternoons it felt like the world had stopped for the pair. It was as if they were the only ones left in the world.

As those words left Toshi's lips, Suga and Hinata stared at him curiously, wondering what he had meant by that. Upon catching their gaze, Toshi tried to reassure them that it was nothing.

"It doesn't look like nothing." Suga comments, "Do you want to talk about it?"

Toshi was about to dismiss it before Suga sent a sharp look his way. Hinata hadn't said a word since Toshi had spoken, which was out of character for the first year male. Toshi decides to sit on the floor with his back leaning against a building and tilts his head up to the sky.

"It's stupid... I haven't seen them in about a year and I've started missing them again. Perhaps the thought of attending a second year of high school without them has just made this feeling show up again." Toshi lets out a sigh, "Sure we still text and video call each other but it's not the same as being right in front of them."

"Are these the childhood friends you were thinking about earlier?" Suga asks as he takes a seat beside Toshi.

As he nods, Hinata sits on Toshi's other side before asking, "Couldn't you go and visit them?"
