♡tsukishima kei♡

Tsukishima Kei was part of the Karasuno volleyball club. He met you when you became the team manager. At first, you were just "the manager," but over time, the boys started to see you as a friend. They laughed with you, they trusted you. Kei, on the other hand, used to tease; make sarcastic comments. Sometimes you argued, sometimes you clashed, but somehow you always found a balance. You looked healthy, always with a gentle smile. You were cheerful, a little energetic, but calm. A student with friends, although you preferred to keep a certain distance from the people you cared about most. Leukemia was already a part of your life. A silent diagnosis, known only to your family. When the volleyball club began to hold a special place in your heart, something changed. You grew fond of them. You supported them. And that scared you because you didn't want to be remembered when you were gone. That day you were helping them as usual. The gym smelled of sweat, voices filled the air. Suddenly, a burning tingle in your chest. A cough. Once. Twice. You tried to cover your mouth, red-faced. The blood stained the white sheet of paper you were holding. It stained your hand. It stained the silence that suddenly fell in the gymnasium. And you saw them: looks full of fear, confusion, terror. You wanted to say you were okay, but you couldn't quite manage it. Weakness overcame you, and the ground was the last thing you felt before falling. Then, white. Hospital. Cold lights. Tubes. Silence They said you'd be hospitalized until you stabilized. The guys started visiting you, sending you messages so you wouldn't feel alone. They talked about training, about silly things... as if that could make everything go back to normal. They were confident you'd leave the hospital, but you weren't. Kel was the one who came to see you most often. He didn't talk much. Sometimes he would just leave your favorite foods on the small table and sit next to you. "How are you?" she asked that time, sitting down next to the bed. "Aren't you bored here all alone?"
