crying yet again was the thing you least wished to do on that particular evening.

but we don't always get what we want, do we now?

so unfortunately for you, running from your dorms with tears steaming down your face for the third time that night was exactly what ended up happening.

now, were you a crybaby?

you'll admit, no—but only barely.

you're just emotional.

highly emotional.

and that did not mix well on top of stress of not only school, but also fights with friends.

honestly, you didn't care if you were being unfair.

because you didn't think you were being unfair.

if i had a friend that experienced something i did from kageyama, then i wouldn't be kageyama's friend.

so why were they?

you wiped away your fallen tears in annoyance before walking into the convenience store.

you weren't sure what to do or where to go, but in the moment, all you wanted was something normal for once.

that being strawberry milk.

"please tell me there's strawberry milk in stock," you sighed to the cashier worker.

he nodded briskly before he looked at your face in surprise.

this evoked a small groan from your mouth.

what? have you not seen your fair share of crying uni students?

"we have one more in stock—" he started, before another voice was heard by a new figure by the door.

"hey, do you have the usual strawberry milk?"

you recognized the voice before you even turned.

the girl by the door—the one you just saw that very afternoon.

his girlfriend.

lana.

she glanced at you, her eyes brightening at seeing you.

"oh hey, it's the other strawberry milk enthusiast on campus..." she broke off, seeing your puffy red eyes. "are you okay?"

no. not at all.

"y-yeah i'm fine."

and that's when it all hit you.

of course... the strawberry milk. for him...

wow, isn't today just a day of learning new things?

lana paused, giving you a worried look. "what's wrong? you look like you've been crying."

she walked up towards the cashier next to you. luckily, she didn't seem to recognize you from earlier in the afternoon.
