The Flight of Daedalus

Karasuno's banner said "FLY". Tsukishima's favourite mythical genius was flying too. His whole life, Tsukishima was flying high, so high above others, looking at them from up there, thinking how lucky he was. Naturally, there came the moment when he didn't know how to continue anymore. That's how he got himself into a situation which caused him owing Yamaguchi his bare life. And he surely didn't mind.

"I don't want you to see it."

"See what?" Yamaguchi was getting really nervous.

"Anything." If shadows were a sound, it would be Tsukishima's voice at that moment. Dark, cold, unwelcoming, yet hungry for someone to step in and get swallowed by it, leaving goosebumps on Yamaguchi's skin. And Yamaguchi was starting to understand.
