You lower the camera from your eye, exhaling into the cool air of fall. You thought your second year of university would be full of excitement. But here you are, alone, taking pictures for your class assignment. You stare at the tree in front of you. The branches bare of any leaves. "You're just as lonely as I am." You talk to the tree, leaning your back against the trunk. Your fingers scroll through your photo gallery and you stare intently at the photos you captured during the first week of your second year.
Kageyama's distant gaze he held when he leaned over a railing by a lake. The very lake that's beside you. You lower your camera and walk over to the rails.
Two weeks past since your conversation with Kageyama. He's probably too busy with volleyball practice and classwork. Oikawa's also kept his distance from you. He would wave at you in passing but that was it. You debated whether you should contact your parents, but quickly talked yourself out of it. They never approved of your move to Tokyo to attend university to pursue a career in photography. The sun faintly warms up your cold face that wears a frown.
"I'm so pathetic." You whisper to yourself. Not wanting to wallow in your self pity, you decide to refocus on your class assignment. Holding the camera in your hand, you walk alone in the park. You only get more depressed when you see the amount of couples and families spending their afternoon here. "I'm going to die alone." You mutter to yourself, staring at a couple sitting on a bench.
"Y/L/N?" A females voice calls out to you. You look around for the owner of the voice and spot a girl with blonde hair running towards you.
Yachi?
Her eyes beam when she sees you, her short legs quickly running over to you. Her arms envelope you in a hug. You're too startled to return her embrace. Yachi pulls herself away from you and smiles. "It's been awhile since we last saw each other." You nod, a small smile on your face. Yachi notices your camera and points at it. "Are you out to take photos?"
"Yeah, the weathers nice for once." You look up at the clear blue skies. The rain from yesterday seems to have seized. "What are you doing here?" You lower your eyes back to Yachi. "Hinata wanted to practice outside today. So I joined him." Yachi smiles from ear to ear when she mentions Hinata. You feel a bit lonely from her words. Forcing on a smile, you look at Yachi. "I envy you Yachi. You're so supportive of Hinata. You two also make a great couple." Yachi blushes from your words, waving her hands in front of her. "Y-You're too kind Y/L/N. How are things with you and Kageyama? Things looked a bit shaky that night at the get together..."
Your smile slips and you shrug in response. "We've been distant."
Yachi notices the pain in Y/L/N's voice and doesn't press for further information. "Hitoka! Where'd you run off to?!" Hinata screams out for Yachi in the park. The two of you turn to where Hinata's voice is coming from. His eyes spot Yachi's blonde hair and he runs over to her. "There you are. I was worried you got lost." Hinata grins widely when he's reunited with Yachi. "Sorry for making you worry Shōyō. I ran into Y/L/N." Yachi glances over to you with a smile. Hinata turns to look at you, his grin stays on his face.
