A/N: This was the piece I wrote for the @farewellzine and I collaborated with the wonderful @priintaniere (mainly because we both love DaiSuga and Karasuno so much). The artwork for this story is truly amazing and captures everything I wanted to say about my precious four third year crows.
As four first years, Asahi, Daichi, Suga and Kiyoko had joined Karasuno Volleyball Club as the lowliest of members.
Between them, they put in the work and gathered others to their flock.
But their flight has come to an end, and all they can leave behind on this graduation day are memories of a better time.
To Asahi, Graduation Day had galloped towards him after Spring High. Yet now as he sat, Time had slowed. It was as if he were a photographer looking through a viewfinder and waiting for the frame to focus.
Two blocks away, his teammates sat together. Asahi smiled knowing there should have been four spaces between them, but the sensei hadn’t counted on Suga’s persistence as he’d slipped eel-like through his classmates, joining Daichi in the middle of the bench.
Already in line, Shimizu waited to accept her diploma. Asahi didn’t know if she was crying, but thought it likely that only he of the four was.
Touching the second button of his gakuran, he felt a thudder in his chest. They were leaving. This was their farewell. A swansong.
But did crows have a song?
