[Time Skip - Last year of University]
Well, time at university surely fly pass us
We are already up to the point where we go for our job interviews and stuff
But it was slightly different for some of us
For example, Atsumu and Sakusa was already invited to the famous volleyball team, MSBY, to become professional volleyball players straight after university, both of them have already signed the contract
Suna, who had also sighed contract with a volleyball team called EJP, he is carry on playing volleyball, as a middle blocker
Osamu, who quitted professional volleyball after high school, decided to own his own restaurant to sell origiris, which I, personally, have absolutely no objection if it meant food discount and possible free food
Lastly, me, Serena and Yunaka, our band became quite well-known during university because we would often participate in small concerts and our popularity slowed built up, therefore we also signed contract with the company that my mum's best friend owns
It seems like our future is pretty much all planned out, and most importantly, Sakusa and I are still dating to some's surprises, we had a high school gather up the other day, and most of our old classmate said they weren't expecting us to work out this well due to the difference of our personality
But I guess opposites attract right?
Anyways, I'm currently at one of Sakusa and Atsumu's matches, with Suna, Osamu, Serena and Yunaka, our friendships really developed and I can say certainly that I've created some of the strongest bonds I've every had
This is a extremely important match for them, this is the final of the men's volleyball this year, MSBY successfully got through to the finals
Despite being new to the team, Sakusa and Atsumu soon got into the first line up due to their extraordinarily amazing skills, alongside two other new players name Bokuto and Hinata, which I do remember coming across them during the Nationals back in Itachiyama
Currently, I am at backstage with my bandmates, we are preparing for our opening stage
Our band got popular very quickly, of course, Sakusa and I never attempted to hide our relationship therefore many people knows about the two of us dating
I didn't tell Sakusa about this stage, wanting to surprise him, because I am singing the exactly same song, 'Since The Day I Met You', wearing the exactly same customs as I did four years ago
Deja vu, definitely
After our makeup and everything is done, the three of us did a quick run through before being informed of getting ready to enter the stage
It wasn't long before we the crowd quiet down from the introduction of the two teams, after the host start speaking
"WELCOME EVERYONE, to the men's volleyball finals 2021! I hope y'all are excited CAUSE I CERTAINLY AM"
The enthusiasm of the host immediately earned cheers and whistles from the crowd
"NOW, as much as we're all excited for the match, we have a more exciting news"
The host purposefully left a gap in between his speech, to create tension
"Let me ask y'all a question, who is your favourite band right now?"
"S.W.I.N.G!!!!!!!!!"
Majority of the people shouted out our band's name, it sounds quite clear actually
Therefore, Sakusa also heard it, little did anyone realised, his expression softened at the thought of his girlfriend, he know she is somewhere in the audience seat, but he didn't find her figure during the team introduction earlier on
Maybe she just went to the bathroom
He told himself
But the following words of the host fully shocked him
"THEN LET'S WELCME THE ONE AND ONLY S.W.I.N.G, WELCOME Y/N L/N, SERENA KUROSAWA AND YUNAKA SHIRAKAMI AND THEIR ICONIC SONG, Since The Day I Met You"
The loud cheering sound of the crowd sounded once again, but it all seem faint to Sakusa's ears, the only words he caught was 'Y/n L/n'
She never told him about this?
However, Sakusa himself can't help but feeling excited, this is the song that she sang to him 5 years ago, when they were still in Itachiyama
He still remember how he was hopelessly in love with her, just like how he is now
Watching closely to the stage, he watched carefully as his girlfriend walked onto the stage holding a microphone, a keyboard and a drum kit was already placed at the centre stage
Sakusa wonder how he didn't notice when those instruments appeared
"Hello everyone, I'm Y/n L/n, how are we all today?"
I asked, as the crowd all cheered loudly in response
"ZEPHYR ZEPHYR ZEPHYR"
Smiling upon hearing this name, sure brings back memory
"Atsumu shut up"
Sakusa calmly glared at the yellow haired Miya twin shouting next to him
After all these years, even though Sakusa fully support his girlfriend in her career, he can't help but feel jealous when she is in the centre of attention
No
To be more specific
The centre of MEN's attention
Sakusa sighed in defeat before focusing back on her girlfriend
By this time the whole band have already introduced themselves to the audience
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present - Since The Day I Met You"
As my speech finish, applauses followed, it wasn't long before they quiet down and wait for the song to start
I looked back at Yunaka, who started the beat to the song upon my gaze
Since The Day I Met You
[Way Back Home backtrack]
Remember when I saw you
The moment our eyes met
"I want to stay with you
Maybe you would hope the same"
Even when we go through changes
Even when we're old
I may have fallen in love
Since the day I met you
My memories filled with you
That time outside my class
He told me it was you
Who decided to help me out
And it was because of you
My life have switched up
And I don't even know why
But for me you're the right one
No doesn't matter how weird
Cause your love is all that I care
Baby keep being yourself
And that's enough to get me
In love
In love
Remember when I saw you
The moment our eyes met
"I want to stay with you
Maybe you would hope the same"
Even when we go through changes
Even when we're old
I may have fallen in love
Since the day I met you
Then you left me all alone
Don't know what I've done wrong
No one ever told me how
You pretended I'm unknown
What happened between us?
Is this a one-sided love?
It hurts
It hurts
Remember when I saw you
The moment our eyes met
"I want to stay with you
Maybe you would hope the same"
Even when we go through changes
Even when we're old
I may have fallen in love
Since the day I met you
Will there still be a chance
Let's not let go
In the end I'm planning the
Future with you
Cause I can gave up all
As long as you're there
Can you stay with me this time
We'll walk through twists and turns
Remember when you told me
We belong to different worlds
"You live under brightness
While I live in the dark"
But I belong to this little place
Where you and I resides
I've sure I've fallen in love
Since the day I met you
[end of song]
Smiling as I finished the last note
The audience immediately started to clap as I looked at the direction where Sakusa would 100% be at
The entrance to the audience seats
Yes, the team players were only meant to be watching the live version through the TV in their resting rooms
But knowing who Sakusa is, he wold never settle with that
He left the resting room way before the song even started so he can have a proper view of his girl shining on the stage
As expected, I looked directly into his dark eyes, my smiled grew wider
"LOOK AT THAT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT WAS DEFINITELY ANOTHER LEGEND ITSELF"
The enthusiastic voice of the host sounded through the speakers, echoing around the stadium
"S.W.I.N.G, thank you very much, before you leave, may I ask a question?"
"Of course go ahead"
Serena said, as we all listened for his question
"I know this is a song from 5 years ago, and the lyrics are written by the one and only Zephyr"
"That is correct"
Yunaka confirmed in a cheering voice
"Then, Zephyr, who was your inspiration"
Upon hearing the question, the audience including Serena and Yunaka made a 'woOoooOoOoooOooo' sound, clearing teasing the already surprised me
But I just lowered my head and smirked unknowingly
They think these little tricks can still get me flustered?
Well, yes it can but still
Then I looked back up again, scanning my eyes across the audience as I got closer to the microphone in front of me
"Honestly speaking, he is here today"
I paused on purpose, first to create some tension second to warn Sakusa that he is about to be put in the centre of attention
"He is a player of MSBY, he is also my boyfriend"
"HJDFHAKFLASJSHJLKF"
My lips lifted slightly higher at the reaction of the audience
"We've been dating since our second year of high school, because of this song which I wrote at that time, and was performed in a place similar to where we are right now and honestly everything have more or less changed by now"
I paused for the last time, smiling as I looked at Sakusa, who is still standing at the entrance and giving me an interested look back
"The only thing that haven't changed it the fact that I am still hopelessly in love with Sakusa Kiyoomi"
"Sakusa Kiyoomi, I love you"
The audience exploded, everything seem so excited by my words as I can't help but to chuckle when Sakusa shyly turned his head away from me
Well, that's what I thought he was doing, until the camera cut onto his figure standing in the entrance, he pulled out a microphone out of nowhere and started speaking
"I was planning to do this later but your words left me with no choice"
He said, his deep voice echoed around the stadium
I watched carefully as he stepped down the stairs from the audience seat, stepping closer to me every second
Sakusa continued to walk towards until he is right in front of me
He kneeled down on one knee, a little velvet box within his hands
I gasped in surprise as he slowly opened the box, revealing the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen in my entire life
"Y/n L/n, my love for you never decreased, since the day I met you"
