“hey babe, today was a tiring day. practice was kinda tough but that’s okay! bokkun and shoyo-kun was there to make the mood even lighter! though, omi-kun isn’t much of a help, he atleast took the time to spend extra practice with me!” atsumu’s cheery tone sends through your shared bedroom, laying down the mattress with an arm behind his nape.
he sighs, “i remember practicing how to ask ya out in the mirror.. ‘samu kept on pounding the door sayin’ how dumb i am for that.” the blond chuckles, “but yknow what? i couldn’t care less! those efforts paid off aren’t i right sweetheart?”
a pause of silence reckons through the room as atsumu blinks in thought, averting his eyes to the open windows which has shown a whole constellation of stars. he smiles, “it’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
“it’s as beautiful as you, darlin” he murmurs through the speakers of his phone, in hopes to hear your voice reply from the call, only being greeted with silence. atsumu taps on the red button before going through his contacts, tapping on your display name he has set for you once again.
wifey. your number rings a couple of times before playing your voicemail, the tone of your voice pure and lively.
“hey! this is y/n! if ever you’ve received this message it probably means tha- tsumu! stop that! *chuckling* you’re going to break the door! baby, no- tsumuuuuuu..!! i- well, hehe anyways! i’ll call you later!”
ten months. ten months without you, and atsumu plays the record of your voicemail everyday just to hear your lingering words he misses very greatly. if only he could turn back time to where he could hold your hand longer, he’d do it with all of his will just to see you again.
and yet if he recalled the last time he’s seen you with his own eyes, it’d be that last moment where he holds your fragile body, reminiscing your final breath.
that night, atsumu sleeps alone in your shared bedroom, his arms hugging tightly onto the pillow you used to lay your head on, your aroma could no longer be filled through his nostrils as he’d hope to feel your presence once again. someday.
