Us Above All

As a young girl, Y/N had to say goodbye to her best friend, Kuroo, when her family moved away. They spent that last summer afternoon at their favorite spot, an old oak tree by the lake, sharing laughs, secrets, and tears. Y/N clutched his hand, promising they'd meet again someday, though both knew it might be an empty hope. She left with a heavy heart, cherishing memories of his easy smile and the way he always made her feel safe.

Years passed, and though life kept moving forward, Y/N never quite forgot him. She grew up, threw herself into her studies, and eventually transferred to a new school, hoping for a fresh start. The first day was a whirlwind of new faces and unfamiliar hallways, but her heart skipped a beat when she walked into her literature class. There, standing at the front with a warm but reserved smile, was a face she'd never thought she'd see again but also know that she been stalked for years.
