After a big rift in high school, Hajime Iwaizumi and Tōru Oikawa thought their friendship was permanently broken. For the rest of their teenage years, the childhood best friends no longer spoke to each other, and distance only continued to pull them apart. Five years later, Iwaizumi is working as a struggling bartender in Tokyo. Money is tight, but he makes ends meet. Oikawa is a retired volleyball player, but his presence still covers every billboard and magazine that you can possibly find. In the eyes of the world, Oikawa is Japan's star athlete. Iwaizumi is a nobody... or so it seems. It is just a regular Friday night for Iwaizumi, heading home from his shift. Well, it began as a regular Friday night until he finds Oikawa, drunk and passed out in front of his apartment. It isn't the reunion Iwaizumi expected, but perhaps, this is what he's been waiting for. [sorta-AU / fluff / angst / new adult novel]
