Semi stretched as he exited the airport terminal with his suitcase. He looked around for a tall eccentric redhead. When he did spot he rolled his eyes fondly at the excessive use of "semi-semi" written over and over the sign being held. Tendou and semi met in an enthusiastic hug.

"Semi-Semi! How was the flight?" Tendou asked as they let go.

Exhausted semi replied, "Long, really long, 14 hours long."

"I'm glad you had a good flight!" Tendou said as he stared at his phone, clearly not caring about the answer. Semi just shook his head, Tendou never did have the best attention span for small talk.

Tendou shoved his phone in his pocket, "ready to go we have people to see, places to meet!" The red head started walking with his own suitcase, having flown in from Paris for the annual team meet up. "My rental car is waiting for us!"

Semi nodded and followed, he was excited to see his old teammates…for the most part.

Tendou rambled on about a confection he created that food critic was very rude, he couldn't even tell the difference between orange and grapefruit, what an idiot, as they made their way to the car. Semi just followed in relative, adding hm's and yeah's when needed.

Semi was grateful when they made it to the car, not that he didn't want to listen to his friend but he could only handle so much fruit talk.

"You load up the car while I set up the Bluetooth! I have this new up and coming artist I want you to listen too, you'll love him," the red head as he hopped in the driver's seat. Semi sighed and took both suitcases to the back of the car, putting them in the trunk. It wasn't odd for Tendou to show him new music, semi was a musician after all, but the red head had never been particular about an artist.

Semi made his way to the front of the car and slid into the passenger seat, buckling in. "So tell me about this musician?"

"Oh he's great, mainly break-up songs but who can blame him? Anyways he became popular on tiktok and a lot of the guys we play volleyball with started streaming him. It's because the boyfriend of Kyoutani, Yahaba, you know both of them, they played with Oikawa, did a tiktok with the sound. Well anyways Yahaba is friends with the singer, and since kyoutani plays with the Sendai frogs, it went viral in the volleyball world then spread out from there. He's really blown up! Im surprised you haven't heard of him, wait have you heard of him? His stage name is "bunny," kinda lame if you ask me."

"No I've never heard of him, didn't really have time between the break-up and the tour."

"Right anyways I think you'll love him, it's a 45mn drive to the meet up so I made a playlist just for you to listen to." Tendou started up the car, "just make sure you really listen…Ok!"

Semi nodded, he was always down for new artist, even if they came from tiktok.

Tendou smiled wide, "Great! Well let's get going!" He buckled up and started up the car. He pressed play and music, a guitar filling the car.

'I knew a boy once when I was small…'

Semi listened carefully and looked at Tendou, "does the voice sound familiar? I can't place it but I feel like I know it."

Tendou just smiled, "I don't semi-semi just listen."

Semi groaned shrugged and leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and focused on the music.

'…Her parents hated who she loved…'

That made him sit up a little, "Is bunny queer? Or just an ally?"

Tendou glanced at his friend, "Bunny is gay."

Semi settled back down again, "Cool, it's nice that there's another out singer, representation is always good."

The next song had started, it was a different…vibe, more aggressive but not mean? Semi listened carefully, it was good song but nothing to comment on.

Tendou side eyed semi as the song started to finish, "Semi-Semi there's tissues in my pocket if you need them, the love and break up songs are about to start."

"I'll be fine, im over him anyways," Tendou gave him a look, "…for the most part, anyways the next song is starting, shhh."

'…Does he think that I'm the guy who needs to be saved…'

That made him laugh a little, it sounded snarky, and at least Bunny is independent.

"That was hardly a break up song."

"There's more! This one is when it gets sad."

'…I'm the love of your life till I make you mad…'

"Doesn't sound like the healthiest relationship."

"It wasn't in the beginning, but life happens I guess."

"…" Semi wasn't going to ask again but he obviously knew who bunny was. "Alright, keep your secrets."

'…And I'd leave you but the roller-coaster's all I've ever had…'

"So Bunny only been in one relationship? Seems kinda dramatic for a first relationship."

"Yeah but he'd dated the guy for 2 years, that's a long time when your young, now you shh the next one is starting."

'… I kept quite so I could keep you…'

"Are you kidding me dude? A cheating song? After what..."

"Calm down semi-semi, no physical cheating, not what you were accused of, just maybe emotional."

Semi was still pissed but kept listening.

'…guess you didn't cheat, but you're still a traitor…'

"See Semi-semi no cheating!"

"Whatever Tendou."

Semi felt the emotions coming through the speakers as the song came to the end of it, and Bunny did have good vocals, but the last line broke his heart again. It hit a little close to home. He didn't dwell on the emotion, he'd have plenty of time to be heartbroken later and the nec

'…I hope you're happy, but don't be happier…'

"…seems kinda bitter doesn't it? I get he's upset about the break up but still."

"How'd you feel if he started dating someone else?"

"It's not the same thing."

"You're right you broke up with him, while bunny gotten broken up with."

"…"

"Right! Next song! I want silence on this one, it's my favorite!"

Semi sat in silence for about 2 minutes, "how much longer till we get there?"

"About 6 more songs after this one! Why excited to see your ex."

Semi glared, "No, just want to mentally prepare myself."

"You won't have as much time as you think!"

"What?"

"Nothing, new song, it's one of the most popular, shh."

'…guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me...'

Semi was getting agitated now, the songs felt too personal. He didn't know how, his ex didn't even sing.

"Seriously Tendou who is Bunny? This feels personal."

"Hmm? Why would you think that? Feel guilty?"

"N-What the hell Tendou! Did you make this playlist just so I'd feel guilty?"

"No of course not, I didn't write the songs. I think you'll really like this song."

'…watching reruns of glee, being annoying singing in harmony…'

Any benefit of the doubt flew out the window, this song was about Semi and he fucking knew it.

"…Tendou I'm not fucking kidding who the fuck is Bunny!?"

"Tsk Tsk Semi-Semi, I can't hear the song!"

"TEN-"before he could finish the driver turned up the music drowning out Semi's complaints.

'…another setter, I'd hate to think that I was just your type…'

Semi was pouting now, the music was so loud it was impossible to ignore and impossible to complain about. He had to sit there and listen to a song about him, a song about him and his ex and he didn't even know who the singer fucking was. Briefly his ex crossed his mind, but he didn't sing in public and certainly wouldn't make a fucking album. For fucks sake he only mumble sung around Semi.

The song ended and Tendou paused the playlist smirking at him.

"So if you're done, we have 3 songs left, you'll figure out who bunny is by the end! I promise!"

"Fucking fine. This is so stupid, who did he get to write songs about our break-up? Was it Taichi?"

"Nope! But at least you realized most of the song are about you! Now onto to the next, these next 2 are much more your style!"

Semi slouched, he wouldn't win this all he could do was listen and try to figure out who was making him feel guilty threw lyrics.

'…LIKE A DAMN SOCIOPATH…'

"LIKE A DAMN SOCIOPATH!"

"Tendou what the fuck!"

"Sorry that's the best part!"

"I don't appreciate being called a sociopath…"

"Tsk tsk maybe don't break your boyfriend's heart."

"It's more complicated than that and you know it."

"Suuuuurrrrrreeee, any who! If you don't figure out who it is with this song you're just stupid."

"HEY!"

'I'm so insecure I think, that I'll die before I drink…"

Holy shit that wasn't sung sung, it was more spoken. Holy shit Semi knew that voice. Holy shit he knew that voice well.

"IT"S FUCKING KENJIRO!"

"Let's not yell during the song, let's just listen!"

"TENDOU, IT'S FUCKING KENJIRO! SINGING! HE MADE A FUCKING ALBUM ABOUT ME!"

"Yes yes, congratulations you figured it out, now shush this is my second favorite song. I will drown you out again!"

Semi wanted to ask more, he wanted to demand answers but with Tendou he wouldn't get any right now. So with a dramatic slouch he relented. While waiting he was left with his thoughts. Sure it hadn't been the most amicable break-up. Who was he kidding it was a disaster. Kenjiro had gotten insecure and accused him of cheating with his manager. Nothing Semi did placated him, and the tabloids weren't on his side. Semi was also about to go on a tour in America for 6 months with said manager, Kenjiro pulled away, they started fighting more. He had snapped, he was just tired of fighting with his boyfriend and broke up with the younger. Kenjiro hadn't even looked surprised just nodded and left. That had been that. Semi didn't deal with it well, when the door had closed he broke down into sobs. He unfollowed his now ex on all personal socials. He threw himself into the tour, it was concerning but 6 months had flown by. He still missed Kenjiro, yeah it was a high school relationship, not even his first, but it lasted 2 years and he loved him for fucks sake. That's why he was nervous for the team meet up, it'd be his first time seeing his ex since the breakup. They didn't even meet up to exchange stuff, Semi had set Kenjiro's stuff outside his apartment door, ahem, Shirabu, he really needed get used to saying that.

Semi was knocked out of his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder.

"I want you listen to this song before you see him, it might help you understand him."

"…ok Tendou."

'I wore makeup when we dated cause I thought you'd like me more…"

Semi had always liked Shirabu, annoying, bratty, and a smartass? Yeah but he'd still like the little shit.

'…cause all I wanted was to be enough for you…'

Obviously Kenjiro was enough, he was smart, so smart, unbearably pretty, and so so much more.

'…I'd say you broke my heart but you broke much than that, now I don't want your sympathy I just want myself back…"

Semi felt like shit, like the worst person alive. He hadn't really thought about how Kenji was affected by the breakup. He didn't even want to think about how he, himself, felt about the breakup.

'…Cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else, And they'll think that I am so exciting,And you'll be the one who's crying…'

God, semi didn't even want to think about his Kenji with someone else. It make him sick.

"Alright Semi-Semi we're here, ya ready?"

He hadn't even felt the car stop too lost in memories. No, he was not ready. He had never felt so unready in his life. Semi didn't want to see Kenji, if semi was being honest with himself he wanted to run.

Semi unbuckled and opened the car door.

"Yeah, I'm ready."
