UNBREAKABLE TIES
as children, the three of you were an inseparable trio. atsumu and his twin brother osamu, your childhood friend, and your partners in crime. you spent countless hours together, playing in sandboxes, creating imaginary worlds, and laughing until your stomachs hurt. your bond was unbreakable, built on a foundation of trust, loyalty, and shared memories.
as we transitioned into our teenage years, we remained the closest of friends. atsumu and i, however, began to experience a shift in our relationship. the unspoken feelings between us grew stronger, even as we remained oblivious to their existence. little did we know that osamu, with his keen observation skills, had picked up on the subtle signs of our budding affection.
osamu was not just atsumu's twin brother; he was your confidant, the one who knew you inside out. he noticed the stolen glances and the accidental brushes of hands—the moments where your friendship seemed to teeter on the edge of something more. with a knowing smile, he silently supported you, cherishing our bond and hoping that one day you would find the courage to embrace your true feelings.
meanwhile, you and atsumu were still lost in your own world of obliviousness, your hearts shielded by fear and uncertainty. as you both continued to navigate the complexities of your emotions, yet remained blind to the fact that the other felt the same way. the walls you built around yourselves became stronger, and you locked away your true desires, fearing the consequences of acknowledging them.
throughout this journey, osamu stood by you, a silent pillar of support. he played the role of mediator, often finding himself caught between two friends he loved dearly. osamu's presence served as a gentle reminder that your friendship was built on something much deeper than romantic love. he helped you cherish the unique bond you shared, and his own connection with you remained purely platonic.
years passed, and your paths diverged, as they often do in life. you pursued your individual dreams and ambitions, with osamu cheering you on from the sidelines. even as your lives took different trajectories, your friendship remained unbreakable, a thread that connected you across time and distance.
when fate intervened and reunited you and atsumu as adults, the unspoken truth finally came to light. you both discovered the love that had been quietly simmering beneath the surface all along. as your relationship bloomed into a romantic journey, osamu celebrated your newfound happiness with genuine joy, knowing that the connection you shared had grown even stronger.
now, you may be wondering what has taken you this long to realize the depth of your relationship. the truth is, life has a way of throwing countless distractions your way. atsumu, with his undeniable charisma and talent, became the center of attention for numerous star-struck girls who were infatuated with him. everywhere he went, he seemed to be surrounded by a swarm of admirers, all vying for his affection.
on the other hand, your focus was firmly set on your studies. you dedicated yourself wholeheartedly to your academic pursuits, striving to build a successful future. while atsumu was constantly bombarded by adoring fans, you found solace in the realm of knowledge, burying yourself in books and aspirations.
occasionally, jealousy would rear its head between the two of you. atsumu couldn't help but feel a pang of envy whenever he noticed other guys showing interest in you or when you received gifts on special occasions. similarly, you couldn't deny the flicker of jealousy that ignited within you when you witnessed atsumu's effortless charm captivating the attention of stunning women.
however, despite these occasional bouts of envy, your friendship remained steadfast. osamu and suna, your trusted companions, provided a safe space for you to express your frustrations and insecurities. they served as a source of support and understanding, reminding you of the unbreakable bond you had cultivated throughout your lives.
as time passed, you both began to question the true nature of your feelings. the connection you shared felt deeper than mere friendship, and yet, neither of you had the courage to initiate a conversation that could potentially change everything. you found yourselves in a delicate dance of unspoken emotions, each secretly longing for the other, yet fearing the consequences of crossing the line.
gradually, you became aware that your bond was too significant to ignore. the years of shared memories, laughter, and tears had woven a tapestry that refused to be ignored. you started to acknowledge the unspoken truths that lingered between you, though neither of you dared to verbalize them.
and so, here you both stand as young adults, on the precipice of something extraordinary, yearning for a love that surpasses the boundaries of friendship. the journey to this point may have taken longer than expected, but it is a testament to the strength of your connection. as you navigate the complexities of your intertwined lives, you are slowly awakening to the depth of your feelings for each other.
though the words remain unspoken, the unspoken longing in your hearts fuels your determination. as you both find solace in stolen glances and the lingering touches that speak volumes. and as you both embark on the next chapter of your lives, you do so with the knowledge that the love you seek may be just a confession away, ready to reshape the trajectory of your relationship forever.
after you three graduated from high school, your lives took divergent paths. as you stood on the precipice of adulthood, excitement mingled with a tinge of bittersweet anticipation. you and atsumu had dreamed of attending the same college, envisioning your friendship continuing to thrive within the walls of academia. but life had a different plan in store for you.
while you set off for the uk to pursue your studies, osamu went to college to pursue a culinary degree with the dream of owning his own restaurant someday, and as for atsumu, he made a decision that caught you off guard. instead of enrolling in college like you had always imagined, he chose to focus solely on his passion for volleyball and pursue a professional career. it was a choice that carried both admiration and concern, for you knew how dedicated he was to his craft, but it also meant your paths diverged even further.
you found out about his decision through a text message when you casually asked about his college classes. the message you received from him left you stunned and momentarily speechless. it was a mix of surprise, confusion, and a twinge of disappointment. you had always dreamed of continuing your journey together, navigating the challenges of higher education side by side.
in the midst of your swirling emotions, you mustered the courage to respond, expressing both support for his dreams and a longing for your paths to intersect once again. your conversation shifted from the excitement of starting college to the uncertainties of pursuing professional sports and the sacrifices they entailed.
as the months went by, your messages became a lifeline, bridging the physical distance between you. you shared stories of your new lives, the challenges you encountered, and the triumphs you celebrated. atsumu regaled you with tales of his volleyball career, the grueling training sessions, and the exhilarating moments on the court. you, in turn, shared your experiences in the uk, including the vibrant culture and academic rigor.
amidst your conversations, a subtle undercurrent of longing persists. you and atsumu speak of the times you spent together, reminiscing about the shared childhood memories and the unspoken feelings that have silently woven their way into the fabric of our relationship. yet, you both continued to remain hesitant to broach the topic directly, fearful of how it might change our dynamic.
there are moments when jealousy slips into your conversations. atsumu mentions the throngs of admirers he encounters in his newfound fame, and you can't help but feel a pang of insecurity. likewise, you share stories of friendships you have formed in the uk, and he teases you playfully, albeit with a hint of possessiveness.
through your exchanges, it becomes clear that your hearts still beat in sync, even across the distance. your connection, though tested and stretched thin, remains resilient. as you both support each other's dreams, even when you both yearn for the day when your paths will converge once more.
as your college years progressed, your conversations became the glue that held you both together. you shared triumphs and failures, the highs and lows of your respective journeys. and with each passing day, your bond grew stronger, anchored by the unspoken understanding that your friendship was the constant amidst the ever-changing tides of life.
though you were physically apart from each other, your hearts remained intertwined. and as you continued on your separate paths, a quiet hope flickered within you—a hope that one day the distance that separated you would be bridged and you would find yourselves standing side by side once again.
as the winter break settled in, you found yourself nestled in the warmth of your apartment, enjoying a quiet evening alone. with a steaming plate of dinner before you, you were ready to savor the solitude and reflect on the experiences that had shaped your college years. little did you know that this peaceful night would be interrupted by a phone call that would change everything.
just as you took a bite of your meal, your phone rang, jolting you out of your reverie. you glanced at the screen to see atsumu's name flashing brightly. it was an unexpected surprise, as it was well past 2 a.m. in japan. curiosity mixed with concern, you answered the call, and a wave of emotions washed over you as you heard atsumu's voice on the other end of the line.
"hey," you said, trying to hide the concern in your voice. "atsumu, is everything okay? it's late."
there was a moment of silence, and then atsumu's voice filled the line, laced with a mixture of vulnerability and urgency. "i couldn't wait any longer," he began, his words slightly slurred. "i've been wanting to tell you this for so long, but i never found the right moment. and tonight, i just couldn't keep it inside anymore."
your heart skipped a beat, and a knot formed in your stomach. "atsumu, what's going on? are you okay?"
"i'm sorry, i'm a bit drunk, but it doesn't change the truth," he confessed, his voice cracking with emotion. "things haven't been the same since you went to college. i felt like i lost a part of myself when you left. and it didn't get any better with time. i've missed you so much, you have no idea."
tears welled up in your eyes as you listened to his heartfelt words. you took a deep breath to steady yourself before responding, your voice filled with a mix of emotions. "atsumu, i know how you feel. it sucked being away from you. i missed you so much, you don't even know. there were times when i just wanted to be with you, to see you and hug you."
there was a pause, the weight of your unspoken emotions hanging heavy in the air. atsumu's voice, now filled with determination, continued, "i don't want to waste any more time wondering what could be. life is too short for that. i want to be with you, to make up for all the moments we've lost."
his words resonated within you, stirring a mixture of hope and fear. you took a deep breath, gathering your thoughts before responding, your voice soft yet resolute. "i've always hoped we could have something more, even when we were miles away and unsure of the future. and now, when you tell me how you feel, i hope you know that i have always felt the same way."
you spoke of your dreams—of the moments you had missed and the ones you yearned to create together. the conversation flowed with a mix of vulnerability and excitement as you shared your desires, your fears, and your hopes for the future. there were no grand gestures or exaggerated promises—just two souls connecting on a profound level.
as the conversation draws to a close, both of your voices hold a sense of anticipation and understanding. you both know that this is just the beginning and that the path ahead will have its challenges. but you are ready to face them side by side, knowing that your love is worth the risks and uncertainties.
and so, the chapter of pining after each other for several years ends with a sense of hope and anticipation. the tale of our intertwined lives continues, with the next page waiting to be written. as the two of you step into the unknown, guided by your love and the deep connection you share, you find solace in the knowledge that you are no longer alone. together, your relationship will carve a destiny that transcends time and space, a destiny shaped by the sincerity of your hearts and the resilience of your bond.
after years of hard work and dedication, you finally graduate from college with a degree in information technology. as you stand on the cusp of a new chapter in your life, a feeling of nostalgia and longing pulls you back to your home country, japan. you know it is time to return home.
with a sense of excitement and anticipation, you reached out to atsumu, asking if he would be willing to pick you up from the airport upon your arrival. the thought of seeing him again after so many years of separation made your heart flutter with both nerves and delight. you held your breath as you waited for his reply, hoping that he would be as eager to see you as you were to see him.
to your joyous surprise, atsumu responded with an enthusiastic agreement. his message was filled with genuine excitement and anticipation, mirroring your own emotions. he expressed how much he had missed you and how eager he was to welcome you back to japan. it was a reaffirmation of the deep bond that had formed between you, a testament to the enduring friendship and unspoken connection that had weathered the test of time.
in the days leading up to your departure, atsumu and you exchanged messages filled with reminiscences of your shared memories and dreams for the future. you spoke of the changes that had occurred in your lives and the moments you longed to relive together. each exchange only fueled the anticipation within you, intensifying the desire to finally be reunited.
and then the long-awaited day arrives. as you step off the plane, the familiar sights and sounds of japan envelop you, filling you with a sense of belonging. as you make your way through the bustling airport, your heart races with anticipation, knowing that atsumu will be waiting for you just beyond the gates.
and there he is, standing amidst the crowd, a smile lighting up his face as his eyes meet yours. time seems to stand still for a moment as you embrace—a warm and familiar hug that speaks volumes of the connection you have shared throughout the years. it feels as if you have never been apart, as if your bond has only grown stronger with time.
as you make your way through the streets of japan, atsumu shares stories of his own journey, the challenges he has faced, and the victories he has achieved. you laugh and catch up on the countless moments you have missed in each other's lives, cherishing the opportunity to finally be physically present in each other's company once again.
in that moment, surrounded by the familiar sights and sounds of your homeland, you couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. gratitude for the enduring friendship that has stood the test of time; gratitude for the unspoken bond that has brought the two of you back together; and gratitude for the opportunity to embark on a new chapter of our lives side by side.
as you navigate the exciting yet uncertain future that lies before you two, knowing that your connection will guide you, with renewed determination, you embark on this journey together, ready to face whatever challenges and adventures await the both of you, hand in hand. and as you embrace the unknown, you can't help but feel that this is just the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in both of your intertwined lives.
