The Voicemail

Hinata Shoyo and Tsukishima Kei became friends eventually during their time at Karasuno. The first years became their own family. After the group graduated, they all went their separate ways.

It's been a few years since Tsukishima Kei and Hinata Shoyo last talked. And then one day Tsukishima gets a voicemail. He chooses to listen.

(Just so people don't get confused, Hinata is the one speaking the poem, which is in italics. The entire thing up until the end is all in Tsukishima's thoughts. I didn't use quotes because Hinata's is already in italics. When Tsukishima actually speaks, I use quotations.)

I just got inspired by a really sad Tsukishima comic panel and decided everyone should suffer. And then the poem popped in my head. The inspiration is more from the poem than the panel.

Poem isn't mine, art isn't mine, characters aren't mine. Story is mine. Poem will be in italics. Story in normal text.

(The panel I was inspired by is my cover)
