Chapter Preview:
Kenma isn't scared - but he is wary - of this.. new version of Tooru. Kuro wouldn't believe him if he said so, and his brother would be furious at the mere suggestion of doubt - let alone distrust - towards Tooru. But Kenma doesn't need their approval, nor their biased opinions to know that Tooru's wires have been askew since the day he got pimped out.
It's clear to Kenma in the way Tooru doesn't take off that fucking wedding ring, how he breathes - the mere fact that he's here in his house in the middle of the night.

Answer all of them :]
Tumblr media
JAMMIE I'M IN LOVE W YOU HOW DID YOU KNOW I WANTED TO ANSWER THEM ALL
anyways
Do you listen to music when you write?
no. my little animal brain must have complete silence in order to function. i'm very easily overstimulated and even if i have it on and manage to ignore it, the moment i leave the Writing Zone for even a second, i'm extremely irritated and frustrated. DOWN WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC
Do you have a trusted beta?
NO BETA WE DIE LIKE MEN!! honestly i'm too egoistic to have a beta, i tend to just assume i got it right the first time anyway. most of my fics are unbeta'd, although a few were done by hayla (@cauxtion)
First person or third person?
Third person. Personally I hate reading fics in first person so I don't write them either, but it has been known to happen.
Past tense or present tense?
Usually if I want something to have an emotional tone, I'll use present tense, whereas cracky or otherwise shallower fics are past tense.
How long do your fics tend to be? Multi-chapter or one-shots?
Short! Mostly one-shots, mostly about 1.5k or thereabouts. Plot is not my strong point.
Rarepairs? Yea or nay?
I don't tend to write them and usually don't actively ship them, but i'm not against them or anything. i just prefer the ships that make sense to *me*.
In character or out of character?
I try SO HARD to make everything in character, but the problem is, I write UA's (universe alterations) so the characters are in situations they have never canonically been in. it's a lot of guesswork, and i'm sure it turns out ooc regularly!
Favourite trope?
Well, obviously, i'm a SUCKER for a good old single father figure ... reluctant father figure ... doting father figure ... found family, y'all. found family.
Do you like reading/writing Omegaverse?
Have read it, will probably read it in the future. Would 100% never write it. Not my thing, really, but lots of love to the people who do!
OTP(s)?
It's endless, dear god. Just in haikyuu, there's iwaoi, ushiten, kghn, daisuga, skts, kyouhaba, matsuhana, kuroken, bokuaka ....... there is literally no end
NOTP?
y'all are gonna hate me for this, i can feel it, but I have two: ushioi, and kiyoyachi. detest them, tbh
Fluff or smut?
Fluff!!!! i literally do not give a flying flamingo whether the characters fucked or not, tell me what they did on their date to the amusement park fr
Does angst get you excited?
I literally hate it so much throw it away bury it put it in a nuclear reactor i hate it so much. i will only read it for the Greater Good of a fic i'm very invested in
How do you come up with fic ideas?
Usually i'll sit there and think, i want to write a fic. what shall i write it about? and then i get an idea and then i write it. simples.
Are you a planner?
Nope. there's a reason my fics usually peter out at about 2k words, and it's because i've run out of ideas since i didn't plan anything :D
Do you title your chapters?
Not usually, but it depends on the context. sometimes i'm trying to copy the style of a book (like percy jackson) or the chapters are essentially standalone stories, in which case there'd be titles.
Overused words or phrases that just make your eye twitch?
i don't have any! the only thing that annoys me is when native english speakers try to use common english-speaker phrases but get them wrong. how do you even manage that??
What's something you struggle with as a writer?
character/story depth. my writing it just ' they bantered and then they went home'. WHERE ARE THE FEELINGS??
Any writing advice?
Write what you want to write! there's no point forcing yourself to continue things or start things that you're not interested in. you're here to have fun, so let yourself have fun and don't feel obligation to do anything. and if you end up not writing for months on end, so what? you have to do what works for you.
thanks for the ask!

stay (the hell away from me)
Read this masterpiece on AO3 at https://ift.tt/BgvWSNM
by ladybibliothecarius
Kenma isn't as introverted as he used to be. He actually has friends now and actually goes to parties. Well, one party. Well, one party for 10 minutes before having a panic attack after seeing his childhood best friend. Well, middle school crush. Well, gay awakening. Well, the guy he hasn't spoken to in 4 years after a falling out. It's Oikawa Tooru's fault.
Oikawa is as straight as they come, until he very much isn't. Until Iwaizumi, the Universal Gay, is used against him in the world's gayest game of 7 minutes in heaven. Honestly, it's rude, and it's all Kuroo Tetsuro's fault.
Daichi and Iwa's apartment is party central. Suga has a group chat. Bokuto is obvious. Akaashi is a great friend. Hinata is confused. Kageyama shoots his shot. Nobody likes Lev.

HELLO EVIE TWO THINGS
1) fully outlined Kuroken fic???? SIGN ME UP. Do you wanna share any fun facts or anything at all about it? (no pressure at all, I am very nosy as per usual)
2) YES to the fic book club
Big love you, I’m booping your nose!!
HI JULES!!!! 💖✨💖
Oh my god yes please let's start this fic club. Anyone who wants to join please do!!! We can read hq fics and just wax poetic!!!!!
Now.
Kuroken
SO story time. earth and moon was supposed to be a brief and writing exercise (originally 5k, then 10-15k, then well...), as I worked on restructuring the plot for my Iwaoi College AU fic called The Twelve Year Fall.
What ended up happening was my little exercise devolved into a 73k monster with a Sakuatsu spin-off/sequel on the way.
The Twelve Year Fall (TYF), like the title insinuates, spanned twelve years, from when Iwaizumi and Oikawa first met to well into college. Alternating back and forth between both of their perspectives, it dealt with divorce, death, coming outs, relationships, identities, injuries, etc. It also heavily featured Kuroken, Bokuaka, and Daisuga with cameos from all other characters as well. (The restructure involved me actually removing Daisuga from the plot and giving their narrative function to Bokuaka, since it was getting too cluttered with characters)
All the above mentioned side pairings had distinct arcs of their own within TYF that either paralleled or served as a foil to Iwaoi. I ended up coming with individual fic ideas for each of them and outlining them all pretty extensively. I then put the timelines for all those fics next to each other and found moments where there'd be cross over between these future stories and the current Iwaoi fic I was writing. I then incorporated those moments into TYF.
I actually did something similar for earth and moon with Sakuatsu's story (which has a title but I just don't love it so it's under revision) and Arankita's. I charted out the major milestones in each of their relationships, general timelines, themes, and motifs that would then show up in the background of earth and moon, thus creating my own little universe I guess?
ANYWHO KUROKEN!
The Kuroken fic is titled DEATH TO ALL COWARDS. Narrated by Kenma, the story focuses on a promise Kuroo and Kenma make to each other as children (what can I say I'm a slut for coming-of-age, childhood friends to lovers, slow burn stories) and how it impacts their relationship over the years. The promise being that Kenma gets to die before Kuroo. It pulls from fairytales and videogame lore as the main theme, with Kenma slowly learning how to become the hero of his own story. I want to spoil the ending, but I hope one day to write this so I must bite my tongue. Let's just say the ending is very dramatic, but Kenma gets his moment
The Bokuaka fic is titled The Love Affair Between Icarus and Moon (TLABIAM). Narrated by Akaashi, the story follows Akaashi's life and his secret relationship with Bokuto. The major motifs/references in this piece were Greek mythology, astronomy (which works its way into almost all of my writing anyway), and the flower language. I'm actually planning of giving this story a bit of a backdoor pilot in Sakuatsu's story, as TLABIAM focused heavily on grief, with Akaashi losing his older brother at a young age. This was a big part of TYF, since one of Iwaoi's parents coping with cancer is a major, major plot point. It's also a big part of the Sakuatsu's story I'm writing.
(gee evie we're noticing a pattern)
The Daisuga fic was called Betwixt the Willows, Yarrow Still Blooms. It was going to involve the flower language, as well as another secret relationship concept that I scraped and gave to Bokuaka, who were originally a FWB situation.
ANYWHOOOOOOOOO!
I just massively rambled, but yes I have multiple fics outlined--a whole little universe actually--that I have not written but hope to one day!!

Fic Rec Friday - #31
Intro post | tag
Rec #31: Sugarella - FrazzledDragon Fandom: Haikyuu!! Rating: T Pairings: Sawamura Daichi/Sugawara Koushi, background pairings (usual Karasuno ensemble plus bokuaka, iwaoi, kuroken) Word count: 40,552 (20 chapters) Summary (copied from fic): Overworked and under-fed, Sugawara Koushi is tired and broken and tired of being broken. Overwhelmed and gay, Prince Sawamura Daichi needs a break from the constant proposals from princesses all over the kingdom. This, however unlikely it is, is how their stories collide. Other notes: such a wonderful Cinderella AU! admittedly it's been a while since I read it, but I do remember the evil stepmother is cruel and awful, and Suga and Daichi's first meeting is hilarious, and all the side characters fit very well into their roles. there are also a couple of sequels (Akaashi and the Beast, Oipunzel) set in the same universe!

Word Count: 40,000
Pairing(s): Yakulev, background Kuroken, background Inushiba, background Yamafuku
Summary: Yaku finds himself opening his eyes to white rather than his bedroom, so he can only begin to guess that this is the dreamscape and he's meeting his soulmate tonight. Not what he had expected, but he guesses it's happening whether he did or not.
Turning around, he sees nothing.
“What...?” Yaku looks back around in case he somehow missed something but he's right, there really isn't anything there. There's no other person here.
______________________________
Finally the Yakulev soulmate story is finished!!
I’ve been working on it for so long that it was pretty tedious to edit but I got through it! I didn’t expect it to be so long but this is likely going to be the absolute longest soulmate story, I’m almost 100% positive!

Home to You
Can also be read on AO3!
Rating: T
Fandom: Haikyuu!!
Pairing: Kagehina (Kageyama/Hinata); background Kuroken (Kuroo/Kenma)
Characters: Shoyo Hinata, Tobio Kageyama, Kenma Kozume, Tetsuro Kuroo, Natsu Hinata, Mama Hinata
Word Count: 3,734
Summary: Expectations are high with the great All-Star Match looming on the horizon. But a match between the Monster Generation isn't the only thing Shoyo's looking forward to. This time, his return to Japan gets to be a return to the one person he considers his home.
A/N: There's barely a plot here, just cheesiness and happiness hehe 😎 Further author’s notes can be read on AO3.
Shoyo thought he was the luckiest man in the world. After years of hard work, he was at the top of his game in a job he loved, and he still wanted to climb higher. He got to live and work overseas, got to travel the world, got to learn new cultures and languages along with new moves. Even when he’d nearly bungled things with the love of his life as a dumb teenager, the world still saw fit to place them back in each other’s lives.
And yet, for all of the excitement he got to experience, and for as much as he loved living in Brazil, there was a specific sense of peace that fell over him the moment he stepped off the plane and into Narita Airport. It was a little overwhelming, suddenly being thrust into being able to understand everyone around him without trying and falling back into the more reserved social norms, but it was still home.
He could see that same peace fall over Kenma and Kuroo’s shoulders as they joined him outside the gate and took in the airport. “Alright,” Kenma eventually sighed, eyes still heavy from his nap on the flight, “are you going straight to Miyagi, or do you wanna drop some of your stuff off at my place?”
“I should go straight home. I have some stuff I wanted to leave, and some gifts that I’ll probably forget if I try to start unpacking.” He would never admit it to Kageyama, but he did have to admit that he could be a bit spacey, especially after traveling.
Speaking of. Shoyo dug his phone out of his pocket and opened his messages, a small grin curving his lips without him realizing it.
I’m baaaaaaack 🤩 I’m going home for a few days, but I’ll see you at the match hehe
He bit his lip, fingers hovering over the keyboard before he finally added:
I can’t wait to see you Tobi
“Okay!” he chirped, tucking his phone away and ignoring the warmth creeping up to his cheeks. “Are you guys heading back?”
“I wish,” Kuroo groaned. He had Kenma’s backpack slung over his shoulder and held his own carry-on at his side, leaving Kenma to take the much lighter load of his smaller luggage and Kuroo’s briefcase. “I have to head into the office for a bit, make sure everything’s still running smoothly for the match.”
“You don’t have to,” Kenma said with a knowing grin. “You are allowed to let the others actually do their parts of the project.”
“Yes, but I would very much like to make sure no one ends up not having a hotel room or something.”
“Mm-hm— hey!”
Kuroo pulled his hand away from Kenma’s ruffled hair with a smirk. “Don’t bother acting like you don’t care about this as much as I do. We can see right through you.”
Shoyo couldn’t help snickering at Kenma’s attempts to comb his hair back into place as they made their way to the baggage claim. The lines through immigration and the luggage claim belt all moved faster than expected, and before he knew it, he was waving to the couple as they got on a subway train heading in the opposite direction of where he needed to go.
And then, just as the train disappeared from his sight, Shoyo felt his phone buzz in his pocket.
Me too
Welcome home Sho
“Sap,” Shoyo breathed with a tiny smile.
———————————————————————
When Shoyo imagined his homecoming, he’d imagined his mom crying as soon as he crossed the threshold, and Natsu trying to jump on him as if she was still 6 and not a college student who was nearly as tall as him, and an evening full of his mom’s cooking and bouncing a volleyball back and forth in their childhood yard.
What he didn’t imagine was Natsu’s broad smile tilting into a confused frown as she looked somewhere over Shoyo’s shoulder.
“Where’s Kageyama-san?”
There was a beat of silence, of Shoyo staring in mute disbelief at his sister, and of Natsu realizing she’d let her mouth run without meaning to. And then—
“I’m back from Brazil, from across the ocean, and you’re asking about Kageyama?!”
Shoyo abandoned his luggage to leap at Natsu, catching her around the waist and lifting her up to shake her. Her shrieks of “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!” and “Put me DOWN, Nii-san!” were only interrupted by their mother appearing in the genkan and eyeing them with amusement and annoyance.
“Is it so much to ask for five minutes of peace with you both in the house?”
Shoyo stopped shaking Natsu, and Natsu stopped shrieking, in favor of meeting each other’s eyes for a moment before they answered, “Yeah.”
Their mother didn’t even look surprised at their teamwork - she just burst out laughing and finally approached Shoyo, who set Natsu down only so he could gather both women up in a hug. “Welcome home, Shoyo.”
“Thanks, Mom.” He leaned his head away just enough to sneer at Natsu. “See what a real welcome should be?”
“Oh, shut it,” Natsu scoffed, untangling herself from the hug. “I just thought Kageyama was already in Japan. And if you’re both in Japan, then you’re gonna be attached at the hip, right?”
“And you didn’t think I would’ve mentioned something if he were coming with me?”
“Okay, alright, I get it!”
“Help me bring my stuff in, and maybe I’ll forgive you.”
For all of her groans and rolled eyes, Natsu did end up bringing some of Shoyo’s luggage into his old room. The space had been semi-converted into an office for their mom, though really that just meant she had taken over his desk and cleared out the volleyball posters on that wall. His bed was still there, as were the posters and pictures and Karasuno jersey on the other walls. The only difference from his last visit home was that it was tidier than he remembered leaving it.
“Mom, you didn’t have to clean for me!”
“I didn’t!” she called back. “I cleaned for me! You think I could get any work done with your mess everywhere?”
Shoyo couldn’t help snorting at that, though he gave Natsu a light shove when she also snickered. “Don’t laugh, you’re just as bad as me.”
“Poor Mom’s gonna have to clean up after you aaaaaall over again,” Natsu jeered as she left Shoyo to unpack by himself.
He only managed to hold onto his frown until she disappeared down the hall - it immediately melted into a smile, one he hid from the doorway by turning back to his suitcase. It really was nice to be back home.
And yet…while he would’ve liked to say that the week passed by in a blur, he’d have been lying if he pretended he didn’t feel every day inch by. He filled his days with personal training and helping around the house and giving volleyball advice to a reluctant Natsu, even popping by her team practice once to act as a surprise guest coach. His week at home was the furthest thing from boring.
But no matter how much he filled his days, he couldn’t ignore his mounting excitement for the upcoming match. Kuroo had told him about the teams and who he’d be playing with and against, and now any moment Shoyo wasn’t actively keeping himself busy was a moment of being so excited for the game, his mother had to call him out to get him out of his head.
He couldn’t even be embarrassed by his own distraction. Who wouldn’t spend every passing moment looking forward to hitting Oikawa’s tosses for the first time in a real game, brushing the dust off of his and Atsumu’s quick attack, playing decoy for Ojiro’s spikes, and receiving Ushijima’s ridiculously strong attacks?
Who wouldn’t be excited to once again stand on the court with his destined rival, strongest ally, and greatest love?
“Do you know when Kageyama-kun will be back in Japan?” Shoyo’s mother asked, jolting him out of his dazed dish-washing.
“Ah…his plane will be landing two days before the game. But he’s going to stay with Miwa-san in Tokyo and meet with his manager, so I don’t think he’ll be able to come to Miyagi until after the game.” A smile pulled at his lips without him realizing it. “We decided to wait until game day to see each other.”
“My goodness,” his mom sighed with a fond shake of her head. “Sometimes I still wonder if you boys love volleyball or each other more.”
“Does it really matter? Volleyball’s always going to be the most important thing, but Tobio is…he’s the person I love most in the world. He knows that, and I know he feels the same about me.”
“And Natsu and I are just cut glass?”
Shoyo’s eyes widened with panic as his head shot around to look at his mother, who stood drying the dishes next to him. “Mom, I didn’t mean—”
Her laughter cut his words off. “I’m just teasing, little rabbit. Of course we know you love us. I also know Tobio-kun is the love of your life, and I am so, so happy you’ve found that kind of love, especially in him.”
Shoyo’s eyes prickled, and his panic faded into a soft, tender, bittersweet joy. Sometimes he couldn’t believe how lucky he was, to have both a career and a man he loved so, so much. Yes, the long-distance sucked, but it was more than worth it to keep loving Tobio. “Yeah…,” he murmured, his voice wavering with the threat of tears, “me, too.”
———————————————————————
“How did you get all of us our own hotel rooms?!”
Kuroo visibly jumped at Shoyo’s question, whirling around to face him with his brows high on his forehead. “Jesus, Chibi-chan, where’d you come from? I thought you were only a ninja during games.”
Shoyo ignored his surprise and Kenma’s barely-visible amusement. “Seriously, how’d you convince the JVA to pay for all that?”
“You don’t think we could get Olympic athletes nice, private hotel rooms?”
“Don’t act like you got a room for every athlete here,” Kenma scoffed. “A good number of them already live in Tokyo, so they didn’t need a room.”
“But still!” Between the hotel rooms, the airfare for Kuroo’s tour around the world and the flights for the international players, and scheduling the match in the gymnasium they were now standing in, Shoyo had to wonder if this was the most expensive volleyball game Japan had seen since the Olympics.
“I’ve got my ways,” Kuroo said with the enigmatic, almost-sleazy smile that had remained unchanged since high school. “So? What do you think of our humble venue?”
“It’s super cool! I’ve never played here before!” It wasn’t the biggest arena, but the modern design of the building paired with how nice all of the amenities were made it feel like one of the fancier venues he’d been in.
The arena itself was already set up for the match, though the stands were still empty. Shoyo, Kenma, and Kuroo were the only ones standing in the wide open space at the moment - the other players had already wandered around to get a feel for the court, or were waiting to do so after warming up. Shoyo knew he’d have to get his warmups in as well, but for now he was happy to chat with everyone he came across and catch up with them, no matter if they were on Team A or B.
But there was still one player he hadn’t seen yet.
And then, as if on cue, Kuroo said, “Oh, there’s Kageyama.”
Shoyo’s head snapped around to see Kageyama wandering out onto the court. He watched his gaze drift around the open space, landing on the seats, the net, and finally, on him. As soon as their eyes met, a giant smile stretched across Shoyo’s face, and he could see the surprised joy in Kageyama’s eyes morph into panic as they widened with recognition of what he was about to do.
“KAAAAAAAGEYAAAAAMAAAA!”
“Don’t you dare, you—”
Too late. Shoyo was already breaking into a full sprint, and with every step, he could see the color drain out of Kageyama’s face. But he was bracing himself for impact, and Shoyo was already running too fast to be able to slow down before reaching him, and it blissfully didn’t matter because he knew, with the same certainty he felt when they did the freak quick, that Kageyama would catch him.
Sure enough, when Shoyo leaped and wrapped his arms and legs around Kageyama, the setter was ready to catch him, holding on tight as Shoyo’s momentum sent him stumbling. Shoyo couldn’t stop laughing as he clung to Kageyama, the sound echoing around the arena until the only reason he heard Kageyama’s words was because they were grumbled right at his ear. “Dumbass, I told you not to pull that shit.”
“But it’s fun! And you always catch me.”
“Next time I won’t, just to teach you a lesson.”
“Yes, you will.” Shoyo pulled back just enough to grin down at Kageyama’s frown, which looked suspiciously like a pout. “Hey, Sexy Setter.”
Just like that, all of the indignance melted from Kageyama’s face, replaced by a deep, embarrassed flush that belied the pleased glint in his eye. “…You heard about that?”
“Yup!” Shoyo popped the “p” with a smirk. “It’s all that comes up when I look you up.”
“You look me up? What’re you, a fan?”
“Like you don’t do the same for me.”
“You can’t prove anything.” With that, Kageyama dropped Shoyo to the ground, though their arms stayed wrapped around each other. Watching those blue eyes flicker around his face and linger on his lips with solemn consideration made love spread soft through Shoyo, and he could feel his smirk soften into a fond smile as he murmured, “There aren’t any cameras here yet. Just Kuroo and Kenma.”
One moment, Kageyama’s mouth was twisting as though he wanted to protest what Shoyo was suggesting. The next moment, Shoyo’s smile was being covered by warm lips, the soft press making a content sigh escape him. He couldn’t stop smiling against Kageyama’s lips - how could he, when each tender kiss made him feel like he could float away on a bubble of pure happiness?
“Alright, lovebirds!” The call made them jump apart, amber and blue eyes jerking to look at Kuroo. A knowing smirk made him look even more catlike than usual, and as he approached with Kenma, Shoyo couldn’t shake the irrational feeling that he was being cornered by two wildcats. “Geez, I thought it’d be safer to put you two on different teams, but I guess I just made it easier for you to eyefuck each other through the net.”
“Don’t throw stones from a glass house, Tetsu,” Kenma muttered with the subtlest smirk Shoyo had ever seen.
Kuroo’s expression remained unchanged, even as he draped an arm over Kenma’s shoulders and tucked him into his side. “I don’t know what you mean. Kageyama, I’m assuming you haven’t seen the rest of Team A yet?”
Shoyo barely held back a cackle at Kageyama’s grimace, though it still escaped him as a snort that earned him a frown. “Not…yet. I’ve just been catching up with my team.” Another snort left Shoyo, and this time, it earned him Kageyama’s arm hooking around his neck to tug him into a loose headlock. “Shut it. I know you haven’t seen the rest of Team B, either.”
“I’ve seen some of them! And I’m not scared of anyone on your team! Not like you are with Oikawa.”
“I’m not scared!”
“Of course you’re not,” Shoyo cooed, only for his words to crack into a yelp when Kageyama pinched his nose.
“Please don’t break him,” Kenma said with an impressive lack of concern in his voice. “He’s going to be the reason any beach volleyball fans tune in.”
“He couldn’t break me even if he wanted to,” Shoyo sniffed.
“Try me, dumbass.” Despite his words, Kageyama eased up, settling on wrapping his arms around Shoyo and tugging him to his chest, until he could comfortably rest his cheek against Shoyo’s temple. “Do any of you know when the others landed in Japan?” he asked casually, as though he wasn’t indulging in PDA that would be seen as surprising in Japan compared to Italy. It amused Shoyo, though he still let his hands gently press Kageyama’s arms closer - he’d always enjoyed how physically affectionate his boyfriend could be, how sweet his physical gestures were where his words could be clumsy.
Kuroo frowned as he thought over the question. “I think you were the last to get here. Hinata came back from Brazil with me and Kenma, and Oikawa came a few days after him. Ushijima landed a few days before you. How come?”
Kageyama shrugged. “Just wondering how bad everyone’s jet lag will be during the game.”
“Uh oh, are we gonna see Tired-yama today?” Shoyo snickered.
Kageyama nudged against Shoyo’s temple in the world’s gentlest headbutt. “You wish. Besides, I could kick your ass even with the world’s worst jet lag.”
“Whatever you say, Kageyama-kuuuun. Maybe you should go warm up, wake yourself up from your sleepiness— ow!”
Kageyama smoothly untangled himself from Shoyo, sliding his fingers away from where he’d pinched his waist. “Maybe you should, too. You can go make sure both of your setters can pull off the freak quick for you.”
Shoyo whirled on him, protests on the tip of his tongue, until he saw the teasing glint in those blue eyes. He just scrunched up his nose - but you’re my setter - and the corner of Kageyama’s lips tilted down in a badly-suppressed grin - I know - before he stole a final kiss from Shoyo and started heading towards the locker rooms. “See you out there, Sho.”
“Wait!” Shoyo hurried back to Kageyama’s side, taking his hand with one and tugging at his collar with the other hand so he could murmur into his ear. “I wanna see you after the game.”
“You will,” Kageyama murmured back. The low tones of his voice right at Shoyo’s ear made a slow, delicious shudder slide down his back. “I’m gonna need to burn off the rest of my excitement after I kick your ass.”
“Yeah, right. More like you’ll need to distract yourself from your disappointment after I kick yours.”
Kageyama pulled away just enough for Shoyo to see the glint of competition in his eyes and the sharp edge to his smile. “In your dreams.”
The way Kageyama’s hunger for competition - for their competition - etched its way across his face always made desire and love and his own hunger spark through Shoyo. Before Kageyama could fully straighten up, Shoyo’s fingers wrapped into his collar, keeping his face close. “Kiss me, Tobi.”
“What’re you being so bossy for?” Kageyama grumbled, as though his cheeks weren’t flushing and his eyes weren’t flickering to Shoyo’s lips.
“Cuz I know you’ll listen.” Shoyo craned his neck up, letting his nose brush against Kageyama’s. “Kiss me.”
A scoff left Kageyama’s lips, just before they were pressed against Shoyo’s. The kiss was slow, and tender, and made Shoyo want to hide away with Kageyama and kiss him breathless. He could feel the same desire in the way Kageyama’s hands slid up his body to cup his jaw.
But before Shoyo forgot himself and tried to act on his impulses, Kageyama was pulling away, pressing a trail of kisses across Shoyo’s cheeks, nose, eyelids, and finally, a lingering kiss to his forehead. Each kiss practically sang out, I love you, I missed you, I can’t believe I get to hold you again, and if Shoyo hadn’t been giggling from the ticklish presses of Kageyama’s lips, he might have started crying.
“There, happy?” Kageyama asked, the effect of his false annoyance ruined by his small smile.
The sight of that small, secret smile would never fail to make a bright smile stretch across Shoyo’s face. “Super happy!”
“Good. Now hurry and go warm up before Kuroo-san yells at us again.”
“Let him,” Shoyo sniffed. But he still let Kageyama step away, his cheeks warming under the blue eyes that darted around his face, as if saving each feature to memory. “See you soon, Sexy Setter.”
“Oh, fuck off!” Kageyama stalked off to the sound of Shoyo’s laughter, though he couldn’t turn away before Shoyo managed to catch sight of his small smile.
“Shoyo.”
He jumped and turned to find Kuroo and Kenma standing just behind him, watching him with matching grins. “Yeah? What’s up?”
“Nothing, just…” Kenma shrugged, jostling Kuroo’s arm just a bit with the movement. “It’s nice, seeing you this happy.”
“I’m always happy! I was super happy when you guys visited me!”
“I know, but…that’s different from seeing you with Kageyama.”
A shy smile pushed at warm cheeks as Shoyo fiddled with the zipper on his jacket. “I…yeah. I’ve missed him.”
A soft laugh huffed out of Kuroo, before he stepped away from Kenma to ruffle Shoyo’s hair and follow Kageyama to Team B’s locker room. “Go warm up, chibi-chan. Kageyama’s right, you need to try out your signature moves with your new setter.”
“You and Oikawa and Miya on the same team,” Kenma muttered as he watched Kuroo walk away. “Dunno what he was thinking.”
Shoyo laughed, “Me, neither. But I’m excited to play with them!”
“You’re excited to play with anyone as long as you’re playing volleyball.”
“Yep!”
Kenma snorted at Shoyo’s wide smile. “Geez…go warm up, already.”
There was a bounce in Shoyo’s step as he headed back to Team A’s locked room. Kenma was right: he really did still get excited to play volleyball, no matter with whom or where. But there was still nothing quite like standing on the same court as Kageyama, whether they were on the same team or staring each other down through the net.
And as their teams lined up to shake hands before the game started, and Shoyo looked up into Kageyama’s eyes, and he saw a smirk that matched his own, he was reminded yet again that he wasn’t the only one who looked forward to these matches more than anything else.
“Ready to get your ass kicked, Decoy?”
“You wish, Your Highness.”

All That Matters
Satori </3
‘Sorry, SemiSemi my connecting flight got delayed. I don’t think can make it to the opening act.’
-
Kenji aking irog <3
‘Uhm, minor problem there’s a major traffic on my way cuz YOUR fangirls decided to hog the road. I’m running but I’m not sure if I’ll make it to the opening act.’
-
Ushi Sushi
‘I’m with Tori :/’
-
Eita couldn’t help but sigh loudly as he read the texts of his friends. It’s the last leg of his bands tour around Asia, they’re last stop is Philippines to honor Eita’s roots from his mom. It’s only 20 minutes before their opening act starts but two of his friends are not yet in the country, while his lover’s running for his life outside in the sea of fangirls. 
“Yo, Eita. We gotta be up there in 5 minutes, we’ve extended enough.” Suna pat his back before exiting their dressing room, followed by Makki.
“Sweetcheeks Ei. Let’s go, security already spotted Ken-chan outside, they’ll escort him in, so he’ll make it throught the opening act after the VCR.” Kuroo piped in as he knocks on their door to remind Eita about their show.
They went on standby at their positions as the VCR plays, Eita kept on tapping his mic still nervous if Kenjiro would make it through their opening act. He doesn’t know why he’s pressured if the other would see their opening act, maybe because it’s the act that he specifically dedicated a song to him. 
“Ey, ta-kun! Let’s switch things up a bit yeah? Let’s put your surprise by the end if that’s okay?” Makki prompted when he passed by Eita to which the other nodded in agreement.
As soon as the VCR ended and all of them rose to the stage, the arena started to get wild. Chants, screams, different banners, and light sticks with colors that represent each member. They opened the show with their opening act, filled with their trilogy debut series of songs. It was before the intro ment that Makki played the beat to one of their encore songs, surprising everyone. 
‘Moonlit version, Encore.’ He mouths toward Suna and Eita.
‘Ah this one’s the alternative for the surprise.’ Eita thinks as he scans through the VIP Seated section of the arena, checking if Kenjiro finally arrived. He was there, waving his light stick and smirking because he saw the annoyance in Eita’s eyes as he recognizes the light color represents Makki instead of him.
As they wrapped up the opening act, they lined up by the end of the stage.
“You’re my dream, Hiraya!” they say in unison, introducing their band in front of thousands of their fans in the Philippines.
“My people! Did you miss me?” Kuroo started and the crowd replied with a series of unintelligible screams of agreement.
“Ah yes, I did too! Kuroo Tetsuro, in case you forgot my name because of the beats. They can be very, very, distracting.” He replies, which made the crowd go wild again.
“Technically those are MY beats, Tetsu! You’re the lead guitar not the drummer, stop stealing my job, dude!” Makki says before throwing a towel at Kuroo.
“Your Mr. Do-it-all, drummer, and oh hey there Issei! I’m Hanamaki Takahiro, and MY beats are the addicting ones unlike Tetsuro over there.” He adds making everyone laugh at their antics.
“Kahit saan ka tumingin?” Suna prompts
“KAY SUNARIN PARIN, MGA MATA’Y LILIPARIN!!!” 
“That’s my pinilis!! It’s good to be back here everyone, it’s your boy Suna Rintaro your manliligaw for tonight!” Suna ends his introduction with a smile, fluently pulling off the Filipino phrases he learned from Eita while scrolling through their Twitter.
“Pinili!! Namiss nyo ba ako???” Semi asks as the arena once again erupted in a mixture of agreement.
“Namiss ko din kayo! Pero pasensya na hindi na ako pupwedeng manligaw sainyo ngayon, may nanalo na kasi sa puso ko. Semi Eita nga pala, ang inyong semi manliligaw sa gabing to!” He finishes, despite announcing him being potentially in a relationship, everyone couldn’t help but swoon for him.
After their intro ment, the second VCR started to play as they ran backstage to change their outfits. Once finished, they ran back to start the second and last set before their encore. Their second set of songs went by a blur even if it was composed of 10 songs that each of them composed together, it was already their second ment. 
“Dudeparebro, do you remember Tetsu’s first words in Filipino?” Makki asks Suna who was busy wiping his sweat with a towel.
“Ya! Hiro I’m still here!”
“Wasn’t it, ‘Mahal Kita aking irog’? and he sent it to Kenma-kun?” Suna replied, smoothly switching from English to Filipino with the right accent that all four of them have learned and studied for years ever since meeting Semi.
“Paano ba yan, mga pinili. ‘Di ata kayo yung mga pinili.” Makki prompted that made everyone laugh at the irony of their fandom name.
“Napaka-issue mo, Hiro. Issei pakikolekta nga! Pwede ko naman kayo sabihan ng mahal kita, kung gusto nyo.” Kuroo butts in, causing the crowd to erupt in cheers as they agreed on the man’s condition.
“Hmm, di ko man kayo pinili makasama habang buhay. Mahal ko parin kayo!” He replies, laughing with his friends. Meanwhile Semi quickly went silent, realizing that Kenjiro’s not in his seat. 
Shrugging it off as they proceed to the encore where they have their solo stages. Thinking that he just went to the comfort room or fetched Satori and Ushi, praying that they would be in time for his stage in the encore, he shrugged it off and continued to smile.
A few more encore sets before the solo sets rolled in. It was the usual sets everyone performed through the tour except Kuroo who casually slipped a “actually I’m engaged” before running off to the backstage, leaving the fans with no time to breathe and sink in things as Semi was already on the stage for the last solo set of the night.
“For the last solo set of the night, and of the concert. I would like to offer a special.” He smiles before he starts singing, the song he’s been composing for months. The song he has poured his heart onto, for the love of his life. For the person he’s willing to give his heart to. He was nearing the bridge part when the lights shut off as well as his mic. He was about to run off the stage to check what’s wrong when he heard a voice he dearly missed, having last heard of the way it sings during their last karaoke night before high school graduation. He stood still by the stage until the dim lights opened and before him was his beloved, his boyfriend for so long now. Singing him a reply to the verses of his song, it was a copy he sent to the members, one of them must’ve snitched but it doesn’t matter right now.
“I’m sorry for crashing your last solo set for your tour.” Shirabu says, getting a wave of disagreement with the fans.
“You couldn’t have crashed it, love. Not with your pretty voice.” Semi replies.
 “Semi Eita, I’m not gonna repeat this so please listen carefully.” The other snaps, squeezing the older’s hand, he could only nod.
“Will you marry me...? spend your days composing by my side, I’ll take some days off to be by your side during tours. Will you be with me forever, from now on?” Shirabu asks, lips quivering with eyes filled with love and hints of worry.
“Yes, my beloved. Yes, I’ll marry you. But… I was also planning to propose after my solo set-” Semi answers, slowly puling the younger close.
“And I’m always willing to marry you, aking irog.” Shirabu answers, tears spilling from his eyes out of happiness and love.
They heard the crowd cheering as they put the rings onto each other and seal it with a loving kiss. Someone snitched the song, Semi worried for nothing, everyone is witnessing their special moment, but it doesn’t matter, for all that matters is just them and their love for each other, Eita and Kenjiro.

Beginning's End by todxrxki
Completed | T | 23.8k
Somehow over the course of Kenma's lifetime, he’s never really had an opportunity to miss Kuroo. He’s always been there. Even when they went to different schools, Kuroo would meet him afterwards so they could walk home together, shoulders brushing, Kuroo occasionally taking the opportunity to guide him when his nose was buried in the newest video game. The thought of Kuroo not being there anymore is uncomfortable, to say the least. / Kozume Kenma's third year and the changes the year brings in himself and his relationship with Kuroo Tetsurou.
