And the feeling is still there, except Shintarou’s now eighteen, not fourteen, and Kise’s suddenly vying to see him every day.

They learn to fall into step. Asahi likes the warmth that they bring.

They live, together. Yachi watches them, together. (She does not notice them watching her back.)

Sousuke watches from the side, as Nanase sticks the cigarette between his lips, sucks. Sousuke counts the seconds that tick by.

Kageyama accidentally discovers Kunimi has a hair-pulling kink, maybe.

The cherry doesn’t have the same heat as Iwaizumi’s mouth.

(Akaashi and Iwaizumi get high together and then make out. Nothing else really happens.)

“I am not using you,” Tetsurou insists, but Oikawa laughs and waves him down, kicks his foot lightly with the tip of his shoe.

“It’s alright, I’ve already said yes,” he says. “I’m curious to meet your friend who doesn’t mind people showing up in jeans and a shirt to his wedding.”

Koushi concludes that he’s probably the best to handle Oikawa right now. He doesn’t necessarily dread it, but Oikawa’s now saying, “I’ll be the best you’ve ever had,” and Koushi decides that while the sober, competitive Oikawa on the volleyball court is a slightly different person, Koushi has the same small level of patience for each.

Tooru doesn’t trust his new roommate. He smiles a lot, and doesn’t mind when Tooru calls him ‘Refreshing-kun.’ He also fails to mention that he used to go to Karasuno.
