last summer. | kagehina + tsukkiyama ✎

𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏

the feeling of butterflies swarms kageyama's stomach, the hot air hitting against his face as he speeds past the cars surrounding him. his hands tight around the motorcycle's handle, vision greyed with the helmet's protection. only focusing on the scenery in front of him while the visions on the side are blurred.

his first week of summer has started; kageyama and his roommate, tsukishima, completed their first few months of university. it went by very fast, kageyama can't remember vividly of what happened during his first few months. it all went by like a blur for him.

it is currently a wednesday, the middle of their first week of summer. kageyama has been trying to get tsukishima out of their dorm to go explore tokyo, (mostly because he didn't want to go alone) his blonde friend finally gave in on wednesday when kageyama practically dragged him out of bed. somehow, kageyama was able to convince tsukishima to drive an hour down to tokyo, probably because kageyama said he wouldn't stop nagging tsukishima for days if he didn't get out of bed.

the sound of another motorcycle comes from behind kageyama, a grin grows on his face. looking over to the side to see tsukishima finally catching up to him since kageyama sped off.

"catching up finally?" the raven-haired boy snickers, he hears tsukishima let out a sarcastic chuckle and glances to kageyama.

"you think you can beat me king?" the blonde smirks, now ahead of kageyama.

"any day, any time four eyes." kageyama grins, turning back to face the road ahead of him.

"location?"

"the new cafe that just opened down in tokyo." kageyama responds, taking one glance at his blonde friend and turns back onto the road, speeding up, leaving tsukishima behind to catch up on his own.

the two raced down the highway, on their way to the new cafe. tsukishima was still a bit pissed with kageyama dragging him out of bed, but it felt great to finally leave the campus after being there for their first few months. a lot of students went back home while others stayed (which includes kageyama and tsukishima)

they didn't plan on going home, since both of them don't have an easy life there. the two rather stay at the campus. with that reason, they finally got the chance to breathe. university wasn't as stressful as they expected (except for the exams that happened right before summer started) but the two got through it eventually, with tsukishima tutoring kageyama of course.

they haven't made any new friends yet when being at their university, the two are socially awkward and only have talked with each other. but the times they do talk with other people is when it's during group talks/projects, also them not having the same classes together. but a few classmates from their old highschool came to the same college as them, they would pass by and give each other a 'hello' or 'hey' or just a wave, that's really it.

tsukishima and kageyama shared a dorm, it's never weird to them since tsukishima would most of the time sneak out of his house and have a sleepover at kageyama's home since his parents are never home. it's easier for them since they don't have to share a dorm with someone they don't even know, they understand each other and know when not to bother each other.

most of the time, tsukishima stayed in the dorm or library to study and eat. kageyama did small activities outside like volleyball. he wasn't on the team (due to past experiences) he just played with some old classmates. but he doesn't play it for long, he always comes back after around an hour to study and do his homework.

tsukishima teases kageyama for being this dedicated to doing his work and doing well on tests after high school (mostly because kageyama failed japanese a lot). kageyama would tell him to shut up, but it's true that he has been focusing more on his work. he has been getting decent A's, B's, and C's in most of his classes, and getting passable grades in japanese.
