The sky was dark like a deep ocean of pacific and the million of twinkling stars already decorated the velvelty dark coloured sky. Moon was almight gleaming between them. The night breeze was chilly as it passed through Ayumu's skin, she would shiver. However, she loved the sensation.

Ayumu was sitting alone in the park, having conversation through her phone with her dearest friend.Smile seemed never flattered away even in second. The park she was at right now was not too far from her house neither too close. It still needs a few minutes by walking to arrive. There were still people around, enjoying their time with their loved oneㅡdoing stargazing,chitchating,taking the night fresh air.

"I'm sorry for not meeting you after the match." Ayumu apologised remembering the day whenever she was in rush, for her bus schedule to go back to Hyogo. She barely had proper goodbye with Seijoh team too.

"It's okay. Even if you come to see me, I don't know how to face you after getting robbed like that." He said with a smile. Unlike Ayumu who was staying outside, he instead was standing by her room balcony, looking up at the night sky. "But you know what, we will not going to lose next match."

Ayumu nodded as well as chuckled softly. The determination that laced over his voiceㅡshe liked it. Knowing Kageyama Tobio, losing was never exist his dictionary life. Feeling cold due to the breeze, she deepened her hand inside her coat pocket.

"Sure, Tobio."

"Anyway, Iwaizumi-san told be that you finally being a manager." Kageyama voiced out.

"You are sure having Iwa nii-chan as your information sourcer huh?" Ayumu giggled.

"Of course. Bet waiting for Oikawa-san telling me, he will never." Kageyama sulked as Ayumu's giggles gotten louder.

Kageyama smiled to himself, listening to her hearty laughter. Whenever Ayumu came to meet him at the match, he had no chance to listen to her laughter. At that moment, with them meeting face to face unlike they talked through phone, the situation was awkward.

"Yeah~indeed at last I reclaimed the manager title again." Ayumu heaved a sigh, remembering all the painful path she walked through because of Kita. "Did you heard the story already from Iwa nii-chan?"

Kageyama nodded his head. Realizing that Ayumu could not see his reaction, he said; "Yup..Iwaizumi-san told me everything already. You even got yourself in trouble with third year already huh?"

"Shut up, Tobio. The captain really pissed me off." She said, making Kageyama laughed over the line. "And still at the end, you go back to him asking to be manager."

"Like I have another choice." Ayumu spoke over the line. That one fact, Kageyama could not deny.

"When Iwaizumi-san said you're going back to continue playing, I was worried." Kageyama said as Ayumu guiltily smiled. She was not only making Oikawa and Iwaizumi worried but Kageyama too.

"I already told them that I was not sure with the decision anyway. But, don't worry much Tobio. I am manager now yeah."

"Right." Kageyama smiled.

It was a peace of silent moment for a few second before Kageyama broke the silence wall again.

"Have you tell your brothers?" He asked. Ayumu shook her head as for the answer with her feet slightly kicking the peeble on the ground. "No. I've no intent to. I mean, they will be know bout it either sooner or later tho. So, just wait till the time. I am completely healthy now. So, there is nothing to be worried. I scared if I did told them when I am okay now, they will over worried of me. Imagine if Too ni-chan and Iwa nii-chan can be that protactive and over worried, then, how bout my brothers? They can be further than that."

Kageyama nodded his head thoughtfully. He glanced on his alarm clock by the nightstand beside his bed, it shown the time was reached 10 p.m. Hence, he closed the window and went to his bed instead, flopping on his back first. His phone was still by his ear.

"Since you are officialy in team right now, so we are officially rival too. Isn't it?" Kageyama asked, sketching a little smirk on Ayumu's face.

"Indeed. Wait yeah..I'll show you how powerful Inarizaki is."

"Bold much huh?"

That made Ayumu giggled. Like hers was contagious, it brought giggles escaped from Kageyama's lips too.

"Tobio."

"Hurm?"

"I hope your team treat you well this time."

Kageyama looked up at the ceiling.

"Huh? What with that tone of yours? We were giggling a moment ago and nowㅡ"

"Nah~I just feel like to say it. Say, that might be the reason why we are awkward the time we met back then at the match."

"Ayumuㅡ"

"I closed to Kindaichi and Kunimi too remember? And what happened between you and your teamㅡ"

Kageyama heaved a sigh, with a small smile on his face. He turned to his side, fiddled with his pillow.

"You are their friends too. So, it's fine. Don't be sorry bout that. Even you are close to them, you are closer to me, remember?You not like leaving the hell out of me alone. You always be there for me which I cannot thank you enough." He said. Ayumu felt like to tear up. As if, Kageyama had gifted with forseen, he said; "Don't you dare to cry on me."

"Jeez...what are you? Shaman or what? I'm not crying." She wiped her eyes.

"Sure you not." Kageyama softly smiled."Better not tell Oikawa-san that I made you cry when I'm not."

"Like hell I'm telling him."

Kageyama laughed then he said; "Karasuno team treat me well, Ayumu. So, don't worry."

___

When she said she was not crying, at last she really did. Good thing, it wasn't heavy tears or some sort with runny nose as combination. It just her eyes continuosly built up the water glasses in her eyes when they recalled the memories back in their junior high. It just emotional to Ayumu.

After bidding good bye towards each other, both hung up the call. Ayumu remembered that she had promise her brothers to buy something for them by the convinient store nearby before she went back home. Hence, without wasting any time, she walked towards the place. It wasn't far though, thankfully. At the moment, she went to enter the store, her feet stopped by a familiar face stood a few feet from her as he headed towards the same place.

Both of them became statue infront of the entrance, surprising with each other unexpected encounter. However, none of them greet hi or i didn't expect to see you hereㅡ thing. Kita looked different in casual cloth. He was wearing pastle blue hoodie and a grey colour pants. Ayumu not going to lie that Kita looked adorable this time.

Ignoring his presence, Ayumu entered the store without say a word. Not like Kita seemed bother with that. If he did, why he didn't say a word or made greetment on first place. Above all, Ayumu could not believe that out of time and out of places, she met him right now. Never she knew Kita lived around the neighbourhood or she thought. Ayumu never asked where he lived neither her brothers never mentioned about it.

Thinking about it, Ayumu didn't see any good of her if she kept thinking about it further. So, she shook the thoughts away and went straight towards puddings section. She stood infront of the freeze displayer for a moment as she looked for mango flavour. Her eyes were immediately twinkling when she finally saw the flavour.

Her hand was quick reached out for it but in the same time, there was another hand reached for it too. Both hand instantly halted in the mid air as she turned towards the direction to see who was the other one wanted the same thing.

He again? For real?

His big eyes looked at her and she looked at him too. No words spilled from their lips. At last, Ayumu heaved a sigh and took a step backward.

"Ya can have it." Ayumu said. Kita quirked up one of his brow, could not believe with her kindness. If there was Atsumu and Osamu, botg might be fought for it. But, Ayumu simply gave in?

Then, Ayumu's phone was ringing. She fished out her phone and picked up the call. Indeed at the right time, Osamu called her.

"Nii-chan, there is no more mango pudding yeah. I'll take lychee flavour instead okay? Tell Tsumu nii-chan that too. Yeah..yeah..I'm heading home straight after this...yeah..yeah..don't worry..all right..okay..bye.."

Done with the call, she shoved her phone back to her pants pocket. Kita was still standing there, looking at her. The pudding at the freezer displayer was untouched.

"Are yer lying to ya brother? There still one more." Kita finally voiced out.

"Yeah, I know there is one more. But, ya want it don't ya? So, take it. Since it left only one, so it will not fair if I buy one flavour different. Those twin brothers might be fighting for this one flavour. So, taking a coutious step, I will find same flavour for both of them. To ya question, I'm not lying to my brothers because it yours."

She said and picked up three puddings instead of two. Of course, she would buy one for herself. Not even bidding good bye to the elder, she left Kita alone behind with the mango flavoured pudding.

After paid for the things she bought, it was time to go home. But as she stepped out from the store and headed to this one way, she could feel Kita followed her. Ayumu swiftly turned around with frown on her face.

"Does ya house in the same direction?" Ayumu asked, annoyed.

"No."

"Then, why are ya using this way? Shortcut?"

"No."

"Then? Don't say ya follow me."

"Yes."

Ayumu's face expression instantly dropped in disbelieve when Kita didn't show any.

"What are ya?Stalker? Gosh! Just go back to ya hoㅡ" she barely finished her statement yet when Kita was quick to hold her arm and made she walked ahead.

"I'm walking ya home. It's dangerous for a girl walking alone at night."
