She felt the freshness of reassurance rush through her chest when her pair of dark eyes caught a wide smile beamed at her.

Her face looked upfront, took a deep breath and tossed her body thoroughly when a long whistle echoed through the room. All her worries, fell of her shoulders as she jumped into the water, knowing that he was there, watching her.

She was on her arms, cupped the blue jersey jacket with red stripe on the sleeves around her body. Her eyes were staring at the scoreboard above the blue pool which was already deserted.

2nd place - Amaya Yui.

She exhaled roughly as an embrace suddenly coiled around her waist. A silhouette of a sharp nose and golden hair peeked out of the corner of her eye. With a hint of surprise, she turned her head towards the culprit who had just given her a back hug.

"Hello.." She said softly. Her lips showed a faint smile while pushing the body of the man behind her slightly. "Can you get away from me a little?" She asked, holding the big hand that just hugged her.

The handsome face in front of her briefly turned his gaze to a hand that he was holding.

"Your hands are cold." He said.

"Of course, I've been swimming."

That man slowly released his grip and blew the air from his mouth into his palms before rubbing them together.

"You don't realize your hands are cold when you're sad." He said, holding the woman's hand in front of him. "When your hands are cold like this, my heart breaks too."

The dark colored eyes before him stared with amusement.

"Atsumu."

"Hmm?"

"What do you like about me?"

The owner of the misty brown eyes stared in surprise at her who had just asked him a weird question.

"I'm always grumpy and harsh. The swimming club's member always say I'm such a harsh woman."

That man named Atsumu smiled broadly while showing a witty look. "Then you can always be mean to me. Do what you want. Okay?" His Kansai dialect always manages to make her smile. "As long as you don't be sad, Yui."

*****

The sunlight claps the earth when she openend her pair of dark eyes. Her hand tightly clasped her other hand while she breathing heavily and her eyes were wet. She could feel her chest tightened as her mind realized that it was just a dream. Atsumu who held her hand earlier was just an illusion

"Yui-san.."

That black haired girl turned when a soft voice beside her called her name.

"Hitoka-chan.."

The blonde haired girl's face struck a shock expression when her brown eyes caught the tears that were falling from her eyes.

"Yui-san, which part is hurt?" She sounded worried.

Yui ignored Hitoka's question as a loud cry broke out from her eyes and lips. She realized that now she was truly apart from Atsumu, that this time the man she loved would truly belong to someone else.

"As long as you don't be sad, Yui."

His hum just like echoed music in her ears, the same kind of lullaby he used to sing with his cracked voice whenever she couldn't sleep back when they were still together. Her chest kept on clenching that she couldn't help but close her eyes, barely handling the sight of his face, his smile, his kiss.
