Nijimura Shuzo I


You didn't really see the point in this anymore. He was gone, gone to the other half of the world, so it wouldn't be very productive for her to cry after him. Sometimes, when she casually stands up earlier, she questioned herself if it was because she never cared enough to cry for him or if she simply was too strong-hearted to cry for such a reason. Of course, there were still her friends and his kouhais, the so called Generation of Miracles, but they split apart anyways. The only one that stuck to her was Kuroko and she secretly was really grateful for it.

The Winter Cup will start pretty soon, as soon as Seirin played against Kirisaki Dai Ichi, but after what she heard from Kuroko's captain, they were the one to break his best friend's knee in the last game in which they went up against each other. A dishonest playing team was the worst this sport could have, especially if they were good at it.

But maybe she was over thinking this too hard. Right now, she was supposed to buy meat for the soup she ought to make for her family, since her mother returned late and her little sister got hungry pretty easily. It was her personal favorite one, probably also the only one she was okay with walking through the worst snow-storm in the middle of winter only to complete it. Wrapping her scarf tighter around her neck, she was quick to stuff her hands back into her pockets again, just in time to feel her handy vibrate with an incoming call. But as she flipped it open, the caller was described as unknown number. Well, she was bored anyways.

"Moshi Moshi, [Name] speaking?"

"[Name]…"

Her eyes widened, her cap, which she intended to place neatly over her head and ears simply fell from her grip, into the snow, that covered the street, long forgotten after she heard the husky voice calling out her name on the other end of the line and even through the telephone, she could still tell perfectly who just called her.

"N… Niji…?"

"Ah good, it's you. I'm at the airport and somehow I already forgot how to read those kanjis on the maps… Can you pick me up?"

Her feet moved on her own; immediately changing her destination and forced her to shove herself past all the people in the streets at such a late and busy hour. She wasn't even sure if this was the right to do, but her mind said so, so she complied, running as fast as she could towards the nearby station, which could take her directly to that airport.


As she arrived, her vision was blurred with tears she didn't realize she had been holding in, but as she did, she just let them flow, not caring if people looked at her strangely while she ran through the big hallways of the airport, straight to the luggage-pickup, which would be the first room he'd enter after getting his pass checked. Her breathing was unstable and her lungs burned, but still, that didn't stop her eyes from darting around in the room, looking for that familiar, grumpy face of his. At first it actually looked like he hasn't arrived yet, but in the next second, she could see a rainbow-colored scarf, one too familiar to the one she bought him at his last birthday to be a coincidence.

"Niji!"

"Wow, [Name], what are you…-"

She didn't listen to any of his protests, she just felt like crying so hard with him and his usual perfume that he always wore. She clung onto his dress shirt like her life depended on it and in these few moments, she finally realized just how much she missed him. How much she wanted him in her life again.

"Is everything alright…?"

He asked awkwardly, but once again, she didn't care for what he talked about, she was overfilled with joy and jumped around his neck, tears just kept on streaming down her cheeks, but she didn't gave a fuck. He had to regain his composure for a few seconds, before wrapping his arms around her hips in return, nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck with a low sigh.

"I missed you so goddamn much…"

"I know, Niji. I really missed you, too…"

She pulled back to look at his face and as their gazes met; the previously so small smile on her lips grew wide, before she flashed it at him.

"Welcome back, Niji."

"Yeah, I'm home…"
