One, she loved. The other, her lover.

There comes a time in everyone's life when they lose something very important to them.

Whether it was toy they kept hidden for safety, or the stash of snacks that had tremendously great value, or even someone who they thought they could not live without, they may be taken away without prior notice.

For a while, they grieve and hurt, but always, no matter how long it takes, get over it eventually.

Even if if was just for a time, one had the chance to cherish something to its fullest- which is why we must be mindful of everything with us now.

Because you'll never know when it will be taken away.

She was nothing special.

Wore the clothes she had, ate the food she was given, went to places she was asked.

She came across as one of those people who were there, doing everyday things, living an everyday life- but that's what she remained doing, just being there.

But as society continues to blind everyone, this went unnoticed; she, or anyone else for that matter, were unconscious of the fact that she was still somebody, a living human.

To many, she was part of the scenery that lay in front of them, and she remained just that, a scenery.

For many, excluding Tsukishima Kei.

Now this boy, this boy was a blunt and annoyingly sarcastic teenager, who came across as the rude and snappy guy no one liked.

The boy who seemed like he had only mimicked human emotions, and inside felt nothing but the coldness of his abandoned heart.

But no, Tsukishima Kei did not mimic human emotions, or suffer the cold of his heart; he was perfectly human, with a heart that was still pumping blood at an average temperature.

All that was different about him was that he was stubborn, and he did not like admitting to much, which projected a bored and never-satisfied personality.

The thing is, he often lied to people, saying he was fine when he was not, saying he was bothered by too many when all he wanted was to be noticed by anyone who would care, saying he didn't care when he did.

Including himself.

Even if he kept denying it, he enjoyed volleyball, he enjoyed having someone like Yamaguchi around, he enjoyed seeing a certain someone- even if it was only for a second.

Nothing could change what he truly felt inside, not even the countless lies he has told himself.

Kageyama Tobio was also, undoubtedly, a normal person with normal feelings.

With the title of an egocentric king and a heartless dictator, he is left trying to reach for anything that he could cling on to remain sane.

Everyone had failed to see that he did not mean to be so insensitive, which got really tiring, having to deal with every single day of his life; rumors and gossip spread like a wildfire, thanks to the judgemental world.

He hadn't let anyone see it, but he was hurt; he really regretted acting like he thought he was the center of everything, which he wasn't.

He wanted someone to tell him that everyone else was wrong, that he was someone else that what people had labeled him to be, instead of feeling the darkness of being left all alone.

All Kageyama Tobio wanted was to find home in a world where no one wanted him.

--

There was one person who hadn't been blinded by society, which was her.

She knew that Kageyama was not an egocentric king, rather, like a homeless cat who only wanted to be safe in the arms of anyone who would happily oblige to take him in.

With that, she couldn't help but care for him, she wanted to make him feel like a part of this world as well.

Stealing every chance she could, she tried to show him that someone out there still cared, that the world wasn't as heartless as he though it would.

Watching silently from afar was Tsukishima, who knew that dreaming to a hopelessly stretched extent would drain all his patience and sanity, prepared to be disappointed with the answer he may be looking for.

He was getting frustrated at the fact that her heart would get broken sooner or later, for he well knew that Kageyama didn't care for her as much as she cared for him.

Irritated, he couldn't just leave the both of them alone, he really couldn't.

He knew that this had to stop sooner or later, before someone got hurt.

But as we all know, not all wishes come true.

--

Kageyama stared at her empty seat with a worried look in his eyes.

Tsukishima couldn't even focus- she was never absent.

Even if she wasn't feeling well, she'd still try her best to come to school, even if she really didn't want to.

So why, why wasn't she there?

A sick feeling washed over the two boys, their mind not being able to think of anything other than her.

Where was she?

They were worried, scared, even.

Never once was she gone this long without telling anyone at all.

--

She didn't come in the next day.

And the day after that.

Nobody heard from her.

She slipped away from everyone so silently, and all so suddenly.

She was not there, but she continued to fill many people's minds, especially that of Tsukishima and Kageyama.

She was like the wind, there for a time and floating away to who-knows-where without even saying goodbye.

||Extended:||

Years later, Tsukishima stepped in a bored manner on a green patch of grass, along with his other family members as they grieved at the sight of a deceased family member.

After the shedding of tears and a few spoken words, the tall blonde silently walked away on his own, hoping to find something interesting.

He took a look on a small stone on the ground, shifting his gaze from the scenery to the ground.

His eyes widened in horror.
