2nd POV

"Tsk," You sighed as you got out the classroom of your last class of the day.

Yuna pursed her lips.

"Um, why do you keep sighing? I barely got to focus earlier because of that," The midnight head frowned and continued to walk back to the dorm with you.

A brow raised.

"You barely focus all the time. Why are you blaming me?"

She just sighed, "Well that's.... yeah. Your mood's plummeted ever since you woke up. Did something happen?"

Your frown deepened. The girl beside you could clearly see mixed melancholic feelings shining in your e/c orbs.

"Atsumu...," You started, "It's only been two days since he last texted me. And that was the night before yesterday."

Both of you walked to the cafeteria to get some snacks even though you clearly told Yuna the cabinets at your dorm is full of it.

"Maybe he's too busy with his sched? Or has he not been like this ever?" She mumbled while chewing on her ice cream. The look of pain from the cold was evident on her face but she continued anyways.

You played around with the straw of your milk tea, swirling it and hearing the ice sound.

"He's never been like this," You gulped, "I'm worried.... what if he-"

"Hey," Yuna bonked your head, "Don't think like that! We both know he ain't got enough balls to do something that can hurt you! I mean come on- I only got a glance of his face the night at the dance but I can tell he's completely captivated and in love with you."

"Though," She continues, "If he DID do something wrong, I won't hesitate to bust his kneecaps for you," The girl smiled with malicious intent evident on her pale, pink orbs.

You sweatdropped and almost choked on a single boba.

Both you and her stop midway at the hallway when you continue to cough.

"Man," She frowned and watched you choke as she eats her ice cream, "Wish I can choke like that."

The girl just blinked when you shot her an irritated look. Not long after, Osamu came from a corner with a panicked expression and patted your back to help.

"Y/n! Are you okay??" He asked and rubbed your back, holding the drink from your hand as you recover.

"Yeah, yeah... I'm good," You said and thanked him when he handed the drink back.

Your eyes squinted at the boy who looked frozen at the sight of Yuna who was quietly eating with her eyes lost somewhere. He looked captivated.

"Hey, Osamu-kun," You called him.

He somewhat snapped out of his trance and turned to you.

"Yeah?" He hummed. The three of you walked together at the hallway, ready to go to the separate dormitory building.

You tossed the now empty drink at the trash bin and fiddled with your fingers, "Do you know what happened to Atsumu? He didn't text last night and this morning."

The boy frowned, something flashed in his eyes but got away once you turned to look at him.

"Uhh, I don't really know....," His tone hid some lies which you failed to notice, "Maybe he's too busy with his sched?"

"Ooho! That's exactly what I said!" Yuna chirped and grinned with her eyes closed. Osamu blushed hard and looked away from her.

Hold up. You thought as you suspiciously looked at Osamu whose ears are red, then to Yuna who was happily eating her 10th mochi as you three walked close to the building.

"Hm?" The midnight head hummed in confusion and peaked her head to take a closer look at the silver head, "Ah! You're Miya'samu right? Your draft onigiris are really tasty! I really admire you!"

Osamu blushed harder and tried to hide behind you.

"O-Oh, yeah," He muttered and did not meet her gaze.

She blinked, "Is something wrong? You're really red there."

"Ah!" She smiled as if realizing, "You must be heated from hours of staying in the kitchen right? Come on- I'll take you somewhere to let you cool off."

His eyes widened.

"Wait aren't you going too fast-," Osamu grunted when he tripped, Yuna dragging him along somewhere.

The pink orbed girl turned to you, "Y/n! I'll catch up with you later at the dorm. I can't miss the opportunity to not converse with the guy who makes really nice onigiris. It's okay, right?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah...," You muttered and looked far, hoping to see the familiar blonde.

Yuna stopped and let go of the silver head's hand which he frowned at, "Y/n?"

Osamu regained his composure. He neared you and got to your eye level.

"Y/n, don't worry. 'Tsumu will eventually get time to text or call you back okay? I'll try and ask him when he's free, later if he has time. If something goes wrong I'll be the first to scold him, okay?" He smiled and hugged you, his hand on the back of your shoulder pushing you on his chest, and the other rested above your shoulders.

You lightly purred, getting soft at his sweet comfort. It reminded you of Atsumu.

"Thank you, Osamu-kun," You smiled at him when you both pulled away. He just smiled back and nodded, turning his head to look at Yuna who recently finished her food.

You nudged him secretly, "Hey, you like her?"

The boy jolted and shook his head vigorously at you. Your roommate blinked in confusion when she saw him act like that, though she did not hear what you said.

"Y/n!" He roughly whispered at you and turned away from the confused girl, "Quiet, please!"

You suppressed a smile, "Ooookay."

Your eyes moved to Yuna, "You can go with Osamu-kun now. I'll head back to the dorm by myself just fine."

"Are you sure?" She lightly frowned, "I don't want to NOT be there for my friend."

You forced a small laugh to hopefully convince them.

"It's fine, I'm alright. I'll just text him later and hope he responds," You said and waved, continuing your walk to the building.

As I said, it'll be fine..

Why am I this worried?

It's not like he's the type to do things like this.

I must respect his time.

I'm his girlfriend- I should understand that.

But why is it starting to feel unfair...?

...

...I just want to feel his soft, warm touch again.

You closed the door and locked it, sighing as you trudged to your room with a tired feature. Your phone lit up as you pressed it to open but there were no messages from him.

You hit sent.

Hopefully, even with the slightest possibility, you truly hoped he'd respond.

But you still got nothing until late night.
