It was dark. Asahi’s head was pounding, and he thought back to what had happened. The last thing he remembered was Noya. That’s right: he had been out with Noya. They had been planning to go see the movie that Noya was always talking about. Asahi didn’t even remember what the movie was called – he had simply agreed to go because it was something Noya wanted to see but didn’t want to go alone.
A part of the plan that Noya didn’t know about was that after the movie, when they would go get something to eat, Asahi was going to finally tell Noya about his feelings. His last year in Karasuno was quickly coming to an end, and he couldn’t waste any more time. After he graduated there would be a chance that he and Noya would not stay in touch, so he had to act now that they still saw each other nearly every day.
Asahi had been harbouring a crush on Noya for over a year now, but hadn’t found the courage to come forward and say so. Suga and Daichi had both tried to encourage him over the time, even teasing him about being such a scaredy-cat, but what finally made him decide it was time to stop being a coward was the knowledge that after a few short months he would leave Karasuno and Noya behind.
