the beginning
Yamaguchi, a man of a loveless life, or that's what he thought.
Tadashi was a barrister at a downtown coffee shop, nothing special or anything. He was getting his degree online, he was just an average 25-year-old nobody. ‘Ring ring’ “oh.” Yamaguchi whispered when he heard his phone go off. He took the object out of his pocket and opened the message.
“Hey Yamaguchi, it's Sugawara’s new number. I just wanted to tell you me and Daichi planned a Karasuno get together for all the guys next Saturday, and I wanted to know if you were coming I know you moved to downtown Miyagi but it would be nice to have all the guys come, we even got Nishinoya to come back early from his fishing trip to come and the only person we're missing is you, and if you need a place to stay for the night while your here you can stay with me if you need to. But we’ll understand if you don't wanna make the trip.
Hope to see you soon!”
He sighed, of course, they wanted him to come, he’s been skipping out on these yearly team reunions for a while now. Maybe he should go Nah. He’s doing just fine. Why would he want to relive those dead memories?
Before he knew it he was at the shop, he put the key into the lock and got inside on Sundays he was usually the first person there mainly because everyone else spent their Sunday’s sleeping in, but not him, no his mental clock always had to say 5:30 time to get up.
He laid his bag down, and went to the break room and sat down on one of the plastic chairs, and looked over at the pinboard he and his colleagues kept to show everyone moments in their life. Getting new pets, roommates, trips, new apartments, breakups. He saw as he looked across the board. He was the only one who never put anything on it, it made since he never did anything worth wild, and he was fine with that. So why did he feel so empty when he always saw the board full of fun and exciting things.
“Hey early bird” his co-worker Kaba said. “Morning Kaba” he said without even looking up from his phone. “See you're not hungover this time”. “Oh come on man I don't get drunk that often!” Kaba retaliated taking off her jacket and hanging it up on the rack, she walked over to where Tadashi was sitting “I don’t get why they have to pin everything they do you broke up with your stupid boyfriend then go back together a week later, good for you Shelby we don't care”.
Yamaguchi snorted “Wow I made the king of coldness laugh, what an accomplishment.”
“Oh shut up Kaba, you know you’re the only person who makes this place tolerable”
“Yeah yeah you love me and can’t live without me, I know,” she said putting her long brown hair into a ponytail “Hey I never said that, and I could do without your sarcastic ass”. “Says the guy who just said I make work-life tolerable” Kaba chuckled as she put on her brown apron. “Now come on coffee-boy we have a shift to start,” she said grabbing her order pad and walking out of the break room.
He sighed, shift time already great he got up and put on his apron and made his way out of the break room and saw Kaba sweeping. The Saturday guys ‘forgot’ to clean up again. “I'm gonna give Higano a piece of my mind next time, he's such a slob”. Yamaguchi laughed and went to clean his station at the coffee bar.
About 9 long hours later Yamaguchi finally made it back home, “Finally, “ he said, laying his stuff down. Sundays were their slow days so there wasn’t much to do but it still didn’t mean they didn’t have to clean up the Saturday shifts mess.
Yamaguchi sat down on his bed and took out his phone, and started scrolling through his social media when he got a time-hop alert “what’s this?” he said before he clicked on it, when the app opened it was a picture of the team posing for a picture in front of the Nekoma gym about to have their first training camp. He checked the tag ‘7 years ago’, wow has it really been that long? Time flies I guess.
Maybe he should go see his team just for old times sake, he went to his message and found the text Sugawara had sent earlier this morning.
‘yea ill be there’
