𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗸𝘂

Who?

Tetsurou looks at him with a smirk plastered on his face.

The place was all covered of darkness due to the thick gray curtains around the small windows, the place is kinda small and not old enough to... her.

you yawned while playing gambling games on your PC set up, picking up your morning coffee on the side.

You got startled on a sudden loud knock on the door and accidentally spill the hot coffee on your ripped sleeveless top

you placed down the coffee after almost burning yourself and stood up on your seat walking through the front door of your house with a grunt.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Man, seriously! These guys won't cut it out. I told you I don't want to accept your offer, Mister--

as soon as you opened the door aggressively, you spotted a tall guy that you've known and bond before

it was him, the one and only Tetsurou Kuroo and... the two other guys fighting behind

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Tetsurou?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Mister what? what offer?

you blinked then ignores his words with a chuckle

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Ohh, nothing just some other business.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Come in.

the place was small and Lev almost hit his head on the ceiling

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Oop! uh, sorry my house is just like this cause can't afford one you know hehe.

𝗟𝗲𝘃 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗯𝗮

Ah no it's fine.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

So, you still live inside a container?

You yawned scratching your tummy getting your coffee on the table

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Yeah, just can't abandon where I really started.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Hm, I see.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

What're you doing here anyway and these henchmen's of yours?

you said before giving a sip on your coffee

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I just wanted to talk business with you.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Business? What is it this time, Tetsu?

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

thought you were big time these years.

you joked receiving a chuckle from him

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

That was already in the past, after that incident I then quit.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Hmm, understandable. So what's the business you were talking about?

Morisuke stood up inspecting the whole place then opening the curtains beside him

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗸𝘂

You don't open your curtains? man look at this dust

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Sigh, could you not please touch anything.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

She's allergic being social on the outside world so.

Morisuke sat back on the chair not really liking your nature.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Ya got a nice car outside.

Tetsurou looked at the two guys sitting on the small couch in sigh.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

We just robbed it

You almost choked your coffee looking at him

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

What?--

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Are you kidding me?

you said before laughing.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

You're still the Tetsurou I know, just like the good ol' days.

you drank the last sip of your coffee then placing it on the sink.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I'm hiring you as a person that'll access on every guarded system.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Mhm, so you want me to be your hacker?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Mh-hm.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

And a driver.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

How much?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

The money is around 80M Yen.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

and the money's from?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Chairman Fukuyama

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Fukuyama, you sure? cause the prosecutors put him on the list just last week.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Very sure, now go and dress up cause we're leaving this two for a while.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Huh? Where we going?

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗸𝘂

What?? you can't just leave us here

𝗟𝗲𝘃 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗯𝗮

Where you guys going?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Bring a laptop and other gadgets you use.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

yo, yo! hold on, I'm on it.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Oh if you don't know she's Ayake Jeon, she'll be our guide starting for now.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗸𝘂

Are you serious?

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Well, love to hate me chibi--

you said peeking on the shelves while brushing your teeth.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗸𝘂

Tch, damn you.

...

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Are you sure about leaving those guys behind? I don't want anyone touching my stuff you know.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Nahh, don't worry about them. If they break something then you know who's gonna pay for that.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Well they should be cause if they didn't, I'll sell their organs as a payment.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Bet.

the two laughed while opening the car doors before they slide their selves in and your eyes traveled around the vehicle.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Guessing from the smell, you just robbed a nice new car. I bet I could do better than just robbing a car out of nowhere.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Yeah, yeah smart*ss

the whole ride was in complete silence or both of them would start a conversation but would end up immediately.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

So...

you hummed on his reply slowly turning your head on him waiting for him to speak

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

How's life?

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Is that to make me feel nostalgia and make 'Awe' sound?

she chuckled

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I mean, several years later and here we are... we met again.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

...how's the homies back then?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Good, they still continue to do street racing every twice in a month. I came the other day on a car meet here in daikoku, I miss the times.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Loud bass music...

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Smoking cigarettes and the smell of weed...

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

gang fights...

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

being chased down by a police...

"Watching the moon together." the two synch the words looking at each other before facing away smiling

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

So you missed me?

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Not really.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Really? Judging from your looks you're craving for my love~

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Shut your trap, Tetsurou.

the two then shared a chuckle

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I wanted to apologize

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Hm? Apologize for what?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

...

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

for leaving you.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

It's my fault why we broke up and we really never get to talk about our relationship the last time we met.

the atmosphere became silent before you decided to talk how you feel about it

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

It's nothing really, you also mentioned that it's for the best if we just split apart.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

But, do you still have feelings for me after we broke up?

again, Ayake sighed while facing the window watching all the cars passing by

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

I do...

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

I do have still feelings for you the time we broke up, until now.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

but I'm not minding what I really feel when it comes to our relationship and I slowly understand that we're meant to be friends.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I know.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I'll treat you a beer with the boys later.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Nice!

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

buy dozens of it.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

As if I'm letting you get over drunk, young lady.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Oh shut up bedhead.

...

The car stopped in front of a building near the suburbs in Shibuya, the place was so damn familiar.

Tetsurou, got out of the car with his keys on his hand and you did the same scanning the whole area

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

It's been a while...

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Right?

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

You still kept this place?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Yeah, I don't wanna put these memories stuff in waste.

He unlocked the large door that is some sort of a garage and pushed the metal door up causing a loud noise, the place is a little dusty with the things used to fix a car is still sitting there organized.

You almost teared up on how nostalgic this place is.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Teenage days... we used to fix our team's car here.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Yeah, this is still my dad's garage that I kept.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Damn, my snickers is still here in the tool box!

she laughed showing him the unopened expired chocolate bar.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Soo after I left, do you guys uh still hang out here cause you said once we broke up you're gonna abandon this place, and here we are knowing you still kept this garage.

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

I met Morisuke a couple of months later and yeah, I didn't mentioned you to him and the others cause...

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

cause you don't wanna feel the same pain you've had?

𝗞𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘂

Sort of.

While walking around putting your index on this dusty table seeing how dirty the place was with cobwebs around and the smell old wood around, you wondered why did Tetsurou bring you here in the first place.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

So, why are we here anyway?

The man faced him with the same grin on his face before the two noticed a rumble of a car nearing the place.

The two looked at the red Skyline that you almost recognized.

your eyes widened when you saw a familiar figure walked out of the vehicle, his blonde dye on the end of his hair in a low bun... There you met your old buddy, Kenma Kozume.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗼𝗻

Kenma??

...
