Yachi Hitoka
Yamaguchi woke up to the sound of his dreadful alarm, not wanting to fail his class he reluctantly got up and got dressed for the day.
He sat down at the small desk and turned on his computer, I'd rather be doing anything else right now. He opened his doc that contained what he’d been working on for the past week and a half.
After about an hour of work Yamaguchi was finally done. I hate philosophy.
“Wonder what I should do now?” Yamaguchi asked himself. Go for a walk? Maybe the park will see how much things have changed there. Yea that, with that yamaguchi got up from his seat and got prepared to go out.
After he got ready he headed out the hotel door making his way down to the street. As he was walking he started to struggle to remember what the directions were to the park he was trying to get to. Left of this street or on the next? With just a guess he went left on the street and started walking down it.
About six more streets down Yamaguchi found himself at the old water fountain, so it was the next street. Crap what was he gonna do now. “tadashi ?” he heard from behind him, huh?. He turned around to be met by a small blondet “Yachi?” he asked, wondering if that was the small girl, her hair had grown out and she had gotten a little taller. “Tadashi it is you” she said with enthusiasm, “yea its me” he said to her .
“When did you come back to miyagi? the whole team missed you” she asked. “ Oh well I just got here yesterday and I came for a team get together. It was super awkward, but I mean that's what I get for not talking to anyone for 7 years” he explained.
“Oh well it's good that you're reconnecting with everyone” yea connect sure. “Yea guess” he said. “ So what are you doing out here Yachi” the taller asked, “oh i was on a morning walk” Yachi said. “Oh i'm sorry for interrupting”
“You didn't interrupt anything. I was the one who came up to you, plus it's nice to see you” the girl beamed.
“It's nice to see you too Yachi”.
“So how's it going in the city?” she asked. So many questions, he inwardly groaned. “It's going fine, I work at a coffee shop and I'm getting my degree online, you know being dead inside the usual” he said jokingly. “Don't we all feel that way at work? “ Yachi laughed.
“Yea guess you're right” he said, “hey my house is close do you wanna have some tea together?” the girl asked. “ oh sure, that sounds good,” Yamaguchi agreed.
“Alrighty I’ll lead the way” she said “I mean you kinda have to I mean I have no idea where the hell I am anymore” yamaguchi joked. “Oh right “ she laughed,I missed this.
As they were walking down the street yamaguchi took notice of all the new developments, wow they really built this place up. He thought seeing how the street now looked like a Suburban area instead of a regular off-map town street.
“So are you gonna be staying down here for a while or are you leaving soon tadashi?” Yachi broke the silence.
“Oh I’m going back tomorrow night” yamaguchi said.”oh so you're not staying” she mumbled, “Yea I have to get back to work as soon as I get back” Yamaguchi explained. Yachis smile faltered for a moment but then went back to as bright as it was beforehand, “what do you do now Yachi?” yamaguchi asked.
“Oh me i'm working for a design company at the moment,” she said. “ That's cool you were always good at the posters you did for the club” Yamaguchi complimented. “Yea i went to a graphic design school for a basic degree and i'm going back to further it in a year or two” she explained. “Wow” he said, She sure has it more together than I do. “What do you do now tadashi” Yachi asked.
“Oh me well I'm getting my degree online for general psych and i'm currently a barista in a coffee shop” he explained. “Well you'll be out of college Before brew know it” she joked. “Did you just-?” he gasped “you did”.
“Yep sure did go there” she laughed at the `boy's reaction. “ okay Beanough is beanough” he retorted, “oh thats a good one Tadashi” Yachi beamed.
After that whole puntastifry they started walking and got to Yachis' house in under a few minutes. Yachi lived in a nice area most of the houses were white, including hers but it didn't take away from the charm. They both walked inside the home “wow this is. Everything i'd expect from you Yachi” he sneered. “Yea yea i know it's all done up and stuff” the girl responded.
They both made their way to Yachis kitchen, “what type of tea do you like tadashi?” Yachi asked. “Oh anything i'm not picky” he said, “alright then “ she took out a bag of basic tea and put in a pot of water on the stove and turned the burner on.
“Are you gonna sit?” She asked jestering to a nearby table “oh yea sorry” he said before sitting down.
After they had tea and chatted about random things Yamaguchi left and just wandered around the area looking for familiar places to feel like he wasn’t a stranger in his old town.
After a few minutes he found himself at the old fountain Him and Tsukishima used to play at. He smiled to himself has he went over to the old fountain.he sat down on the edge of it examining its chipped and faded blue paint and how the groves were now flat and curvaceous and not sharp and staggering.He looked into the water to find it muddy and unkept, nothing like the clear day water that was in it when they were kids.
He sat there for a few minutes remembering the surrounding areas beauty, and how the place he was now seeing seemed like a ghost town where no one ever went. I wonder if everyone’s families still live here.
‘Ring ring’ he was pulled out of thought by his phone going off. He took out the object and looked at the message he had just revived
‘From kageyama,
Hey do you wanna play volleyball?’
