Hikari are: Seijo stories

1°round: a special friend

Miyagi prefecture, Japan 6pm

I have an hour left,then my shift start, In Buenos Aires should be 6 A.m. is a good time for a call,isn't it?

My house is still empty, the only sound I can hear is the stupid noise of a Skype videocall.

After few seconds he switch the camera on and I see him.

In the light of an Argentinian morning he looks the same as we were in highschool, his hair now are shorter than then but they still are fluffy and messy as they were then.

<Yohoo Tora-chan! you look amazing as always... Uhmm> I can clearly see that he is not awake, but he is smiling at me and even if he is half asleep it's a gorgous smile.

<I can see you are still sleeping, perhaps I woke you up Oikawa-san?> I can't stop smile looking at him, he looks so carefree, and that,  makes me feel reasured.

<Nooope! Usually I'm already up at this hour... but yesterday I went to bed late... Honestly I think, I'm suffering Homesick. I miss Iwa-chan... I miss all of you guys> He was try to hide a bit of bitterness under his smile but his eyes were dull and I was able to see it even with a poor internet line 

<but now I'm feeling great hearing you! How are you? and Iwa-chan? have you heared him recently?> he says

<Iwazumi is abroad, for work. probably... you are nearest him than the japan> while talking I take a look at the clock hanged on my wall and I stop for thinking. <It's night, where Iwazumi is. I think we shouldn't call him right now. There, in Japan everything is fine, I'm working in a cafe, I have the night shift, sometimes I met our highschool friends, they always ask for you, did you know it?> I said resting my arms on the table

<really? Iwazumi didn't say anything to me! But... that's fine... I will call him with a right timing and he must hear what I have to say! Oh, I'm flattered to know that they still ask about me... I might have left some good memories then... and you? nothing new to say except the job? Come on girl! I don't believe that no one had fanced you this days!> He says with a tiny laugh, Oikawa loves joking mostly with me,I don't now why but I'm feeling light when we joke togheter. I also laugh and I fix a lock of my hair behind my ear.

<No. There's still no one. but... I saw this guy that came at the cafe quite every evening and in my shift, I always caught him looking at me... I'm asking my self if I should go talk to him.>

Oikawa looked at me and than shout <you should! You have to go! right now! have you seen yourself? you are gorgous, amazing and brilliant! but... be carefull please. if he bully you tell me and I will come to help you.> he look worred for my safety but I know and we know that I'm great at take care of myself and even that he is at the other side of the world I know that if I'm in difficulties he will run to my side

<Thanks you Oikawa-san. I know you have my back even that far away. thinking about this...How are you doing down there?>

at this question he sighs <well... if I have to be honest... everything can go better, I don't know if is the food or I have difficultes to get along with the rest of the team... It's not easy. But I'm determined to grow and be someone important in the volleyball scene...> his eyes start sparkling from his determination like he was looking at his goal

<You are gonna do this, You will see... I can already see you holding a gold olimpic medal and making a speech nothing is better than a loud, on global screen love declaration to make "you know who" crumble> I'm smiling, It's always fun to poke him with those subjects, he's becoming red like a tomato, blushing and stammering and I can't hold my laugh no more

<what are you talking about!!! He would kill me, He will kill me aming a ball from no one knows where!> I tried to figure out the funny scene and I lifted my sight seeing the clock.

<damm it... I have to go, my shift is near... see you later! and don't seduce all the country while I'm away, you, heartbreaker.> I said smiling at him, wayving my hand in sign of a goodbye before I move the cursor on the end call icon.

<that's the least I can do... but you know, no one can compete with "you know who" hehe. don't think about me! you have to win that guy heart. hahahaha bye bye!>
