The Year Without My Saltwater Kiss (Iwaoi)

- How long has it been since we last spoke? Days? Weeks? Months. It's been months and you're still not with me. You've scolded me countless of times during our childhood, saying that I shouldn't be such a spoiled brat, but for the love of God please just let me be selfish this once, I want you here with me, to hold me and console me. I haven't lost hope, but I am losing my sanity over you. I wish I hadn't been so careless and stupid, I wish I hadn't been as selfish as to do what I did that day, but I can't change what happened.

I wish I could turn back time, I wish I could have loved you more, because now you're gone and you've left with the saltwater kiss you promised me when we were kids.

- It happened on that summer day, the last day he had seen the person he has loved. Oikawa Tooru, who was just fourteen at the time, had seen the worst thing he could have imagined at that young age. It was the day his life has changed, the day he had realized that life wasn't the fairy tale he had believed when he was a kid.

He had been hit with the cold reality of this world, just like a blow to the face. He's slowly starting to realize how miserable he is without his best friend, Iwaizumi Hajime. Tooru's changed with each day that goes by, no longer smiling or laughing, and he's started to form unhealthy habits. With each breath he exhales, he's saying goodbye to the person he was, the jubilant boy with the chocolate brown eyes who'd make just about anyone fall for him. Maybe the only thing keeping him from moving on is the saltwater kiss that Hajime promised him when they were just kids.
