Nicolas Romero is not an arrogant man. But he is rather sad that his son shows nothing but apathy for the sport that he loves.
Imagine his surprise when, on a trip home from Japan, Rubens Romero tells him that he wants to play beach volleyball.

it's akaashi's birthday!!! you guys know what that means!!!!!!!!!! have some timeskip special headcanons about akaashi and co. let's go!!!!
i think akaashi deserves a spin-off about his misadventures in the manga department honestly
gekkan shoujo nozaki kun. sekaiichi hatsukoi. bakuman. there is a lesson to be learned here people!!!!!
tenma gifts him a planner for his birthday and the first thing he does after opening it is mark all of tenma's deadlines. which he also has recorded in his phone calendar. AND he has them memorized. AND on sticky notes scattered throughout the office
tenma: you know i got you this planner so that you wouldn't have to put sticky notes everywhere, right? akaashi, sleep-deprived and running on five cups of coffee: time waits for no one, udai-san
the office has a special "akaashi keiji emergency rest kit" for when he falls asleep at his desk
it's got a blanket if it's cold, a pillow they tuck under his head, a bottle of water and snacks they leave next to him if he gets hungry/thirsty when he wakes up, and an eye mask that they put on him after they take off his glasses
idk i think the whole office really loves akaashi
and he really loves them back!!!! they're a team!!! they work together!!!! deadlines might be hell but at least it's a hell they're united in!!!
akaashi finding love and contentment and happiness in a place he initially wasn't sure about is everything to me okay
also i think he wingmans tenma and akiteru. i think it'd be very funny.
akaashi knows it's bad when he catches tenma drafting a whole new romance plot and he's like "udai-san. please. you have something due in five days you canNOT be doing this right now"
honestly akaashi just wants them to get together so that tenma will stop being dreamy and distracted and ACTUALLY focus on getting his manuscript done on time
and then they DO get together and akaashi is subjected to even more dreamy sighs and staring off into the distance and whatnot
tenma is such a disaster you guys i love him
ALSO YOU KNOW HOW MANGAKAS HAVE A LIL MASCOT TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES IN THE AUTHOR'S NOTE. TENMA'S IS DEFINITELY SOME KIND OF CROW
someone asks tenma if he has a favorite pro vball player and tenma says "hinata shouyou" with the BIGGEST smile on his face and hinata almost cries
LMAO HOW FUNNY WOULD IT BE IF KENMA OFFERED TO BANKROLL AND DEVELOP A ZOMBIE KNIGHTS VIDEO GAME
i mean i barely even know what zkz is about but based on the title i feel like it'd make a good video game
yachi can help design . . . lev and komi can voice act . . . yes . . . it's all coming together . . .
NEVER MIND I KNOW WHAT IT IS I READ A TRANSLATION OF THE LIGHT NOVEL IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING THIS
he wrote zkz in a restaurant are you SHITTING me udai tenma i love you
so apparently it got discontinued?? instead of allowing tenma to finish it the way he wanted?? so when tenma hears that kenma wants to make a video game out of it he ends up in tears
kenma's like "well it might have failed as a manga. but i think it'd make a pretty good video game, if you want to help out with that"
god everything about it makes me want to cry actually. tenma who is still chasing after his dreams. and akaashi right there, learning how to be better. learning how to be passionate. learning how to give tenma his all. because he's TENMA'S editor and he'll be damned if he doesn't do it well.
udai tenma in an interview about meteo attack: "yes, i am sad i didn't get a chance to end zkz in a way that would have made me happy. it was my first series, and that's always going to be precious to me. but meteo attack is one i'm looking forward to. it's a story about learning how to fly, when everybody else has long since been trampling on your wings and telling you that you can't."
sorry i did NOT mean to get this emotional over them. but now i am. and i am going to be thinking about it forever
meteo attack def gets raving reviews from players in the pro volleyball league, especially from hinata shouyou

Miya’s 2023 Fanfic Recs Part 2
Here are all the cool, complete fics I’ve read this year. Separated into 5 posts because there’s nearly a hundred of them.
PART 2: OTHER ANIMES AND CARTOONS (20)
Avatar the Last Airbender (1)
Fullmetal Alchemist (1)
Haikyuu!! (13)
Jujutsu Kaisen (2)
Sk8 the Infinity (1)
Voltron: Legendary Defender (2)
Part 1: Boku no Hero Academia (33) Part 3: Television (16) Part 4: Video Games, Movies and Books (16) Part 5: Crossovers (11)
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender Title: hey, isn’t this easy Author: WitchofEndor Pairing: Sokka/Zuko, Aang/Katara Rating: Teen Word Count: 20,649 Summary: Zuko doesn’t have time to deal with pressure for an arranged marriage, especially since he isn’t even sure he likes women that way. (A realisation that has absolutely nothing to do with Ambassador Sokka - shut up, Suki.) Katara and Aang have broken up again, and the Northern Water Tribe are pushing for a match between the North and South. Which leads Zuko and Katara to develop a genius, foolproof, only slightly drunken plan: they can pretend to date for the length of Katara’s stay in the palace, giving them both a brief reprieve from political pressures on their love lives. What could go wrong?
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist Title: Serenade Author: akaparalian Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang Rating: General Word Count: 3,271 Summary: There’s no hurry to return to reality tonight, Roy thinks, laying his cheek against Ed’s head. For now, it feels just right to stay like this — the two of them, alone together, with a promise of forever ringing in both of their heads.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title:Strings Attached Author: pancakewars Pairing: Semi Eita/Tendou Satori Rating: Explicit Word Count: 6,128 Summary: Tendou doesn’t know whether Eita considers them friends after he accidentally spikes a ball at Eita’s face, but their arrangement sure as hell has benefits.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: no matter what they tell you Author: Slumber Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Teen Word Count: 9,817 Summary: “But how do you know when it’s real or not?” Atsumu presses Hinata, frowning. “What if you’re not in love, what if you’re just infatuated?” “Hah!” Osamu says from the kitchen. “Like that’s ever stopped you from accepting someone’s confession when they’re the only ones who’ve rung your Love Alarm!” “You don’t know if feelings can develop from that!” Atsumu argues, turning to the rest of the table to see if anyone would back him up on this. “Love’s about chances, right?” In a world where an app that can tell you when someone loves you, all Atsumu wants is to be told he’s in love with someone who loves him back.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: eventually you’ll see Author: Slumber Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Teen (Part 2 is Explicit) Word Count: 3,251 Series: Part 1 of atsuhina age swap au (Words: 23,415 - Works: 2) Summary: There is no way out of this. Atsumu’s in line for a postgame meet-and-greet like one of those idol fans, only it’s for volleyball players so is that worse? better?, clutching a HINATA 21 jersey so it could get signed. He’d hesitated, ya know? Thought maybe, oh, what if he’d picked Iizuna’s jersey instead, he’s on the team and actually a setter, even, wouldn’t that have made more sense? In which high schooler Atsumu develops a crush on pro volleyball player Hinata.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: glitter & gold Author: comehomenezumi Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: General Word Count: 10,331 Summary: What I saw on the stage that night was something no one else could see. You know what that means, right? Your color is gold, Atsumu-san. Even the fates think of you as their star. Miya Atsumu is a rising star among idols—at least, that’s what Natsu told Shoyo as she begged him to take her to his concert when her friend bailed. As Shoyo gazes upon the stage that night, eyes drawn to the glimmering golden trail Atsumu leaves behind with each step he takes, Shoyo comes to realize that his soulmate and Miya Atsumu are one and the same.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Sleeping Together (in the euphemistic sense) Author: Esselle Pairing: Kageyama Tobio/Ushijima Wakatoshi Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5,341 Summary: “Kageyama Tobio,” Wakatoshi said. In the seat across from him, his setter looked up from where he’d been glaring at the menu. “I should inform you—I invited you to dinner in order to seduce you.” “Oh,” Kageyama said. He folded the menu to give Wakatoshi his full attention. It reminded Wakatoshi of the moments just before he decided who to toss to during a game. “Thank you for telling me.” – No one is more surprised than Ushijima and Kageyama to realize that they are, in fact, dating.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: Better Late Than Never Author: Esselle Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio/Sugawara Koushi Rating: Explicit Word Count: 8,054 Series: Part 1 of Better Late Than Never (Words: 22,620 - Works: 5) Summary: ’ “Excuse me,” Shouyou says, sounding frustrated. “When exactly did Kageyama get all sexy?” “What’s that supposed to mean?” Tobio demands. “You used to be all weird and awkward and now you’re like all—guh and unnngh and stuff!” “I have never made either of those sounds in my life,” Tobio deadpans. “Yes, you have,” Koushi says. Tobio scowls. ’ – Four years after Koushi graduates, two years after he and Tobio started putting together the puzzle that is their relationship, the last piece finally falls into place.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: First, Last Author: boomturkey Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu/Sakusa Kiyoomi Rating: Explicit Word Count: 8,199 Summary: Atsumu and Sakusa find out that Hinata has been telling little white lies about how experienced he is. They are determined to find something they can finally be first at when it comes to Hinata.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: A Time Like Eternity Starts To Move Author: hgowff Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Mature Word Count: 14,432 Summary: With the death of their parents, Shouyou gave up his future career to focus on looking after Natsu. Years later, Onigiri Miya Sendai is opening up and Niiyama Girls Volleyball Club has a pair of new coaches, one being a burned out V League pro trying to find his love of volleyball once more.
Fandom: Haikyuu!! Title: when you smile Author: Slumber Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Explicit Word Count: 2,443 Summary:
“Beach volleyball?” Atsumu echoes, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah,” another guy says, nodding toward the first guy who spoke. “You can pair up with Hinata over here. You don’t need to know how to play—he needs the training, anyway.”
In a world where Inarizaki never faced Karasuno at the Interhigh, Atsumu and Hinata run into each other at a beach in Okinawa, and a summer fling ensues.
Fandom: Haikyuu!!Title: Beach House Author: spideywhiteys  Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu Rating: Explicit Word Count: 7669 Summary: Atsumu falls in love with Shouyou the same way he falls in love with volleyball. Immediately, suddenly, and obsessively. It just takes him a lot longer to accept, especially in a world where loving a man could end his career.
So he loves in secret, in the remote quiet of his head and over the long distance separating him and Hinata Shouyou, a man who probably doesn’t think of Atsumu at all. He dreams of a future he’s not sure he can ever have.
Or: Atsumu pines for five years.
Fandom: Haikyuu!!Title: royal regalia Author: celestialshellfish Pairing: Kageyama Tobio/Oikawa Tooru Rating: Explicit Word Count: 2,939 Summary: Oikawa cannot believe this shit.

Avoiding rotting, bitten and bloody walking corpses was enough for even Shirabu Kenjirou to deal with, but dealing with feelings? Yeah, that's definitely worse.
⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎
Shirabu Kenjirou, a doctor who was running on 2 hours of sleep and about 6 cups of caffeine a day, has seen much worse than a couple bloody bodies and broken limbs. Nothing really shocked him anymore, having grown accustomed to the tons of bloody, gory bodies and messes he's dealt with. He thought he had seen it all.
Until a patient by the name of Fuzashi Omira walked in, bloody and seizing, twitching on the bed and growling.
⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎
Atsumu Miya, Shirabu's co-worker, has seen the same amount of bloody, gory bodies as he has, and he too, thought he'd seen it all. From Osamu's broken arm, to a severe place crash with dismembered limbs and bloody torsos. He's seen it all, just as Shirabu has.
Fuzashi Omira was supposed to be no different.
Supposed to be, at least.

Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/reader.
Summary: In which you encounter your old love, Hinata, one random day walking down the street. This takes a huge impact on you. You reminisce all of the good old and nostalgic days alongside Karasuno, but specially algonside Hinata.
warnings / tags: Afab/female reader. No use of y/n. Reencounter after breakup. Oikawa Tooru hits on you. A little bit of a physical description at the end, I avoid mentioning stuff like hair color or skin color so it shouldn’t be that much of an issue.Reader wants to be a pro volleyball player. Reader has a huge academic validation (it is kind of part of her personality). A lot of fluff. Hinata avoids his feelings ergo avoids reader. Huge confession at the end. I did not proof read this. You basically are Karasuno’s third manager.
notes: This little reader insert was written in one sitting so I vehemently apologize if I made any grammatical mistakes or punctuation. Also, not very important but still good to know, english is not my first language so read this with that in mind. I first posted this on AO3 so if you want to read my stuff first here it is.
wc: 5,348.
Tumblr media
One afternoon, you were walking down the street when, all of a sudden, you saw Hinata Shouyou walking by. He looked exactly the same as he did when you were teenagers (perhaps almost the same; he had a lot more muscle now). He was all alone, shopping at a nearby coffee shop. You were startled; you hadn't seen him since high school, and now he was just standing there. He looked very focused while reading the menu, probably thinking of his order while he waited patiently in a very large line of clients—at least twenty—who looked very annoyed at the pace of the girl at the register.
It was a very well-known fact that you couldn't work under pressure; even your friends mocked you for it. "You are so easy to break!" your best friend liked to say. "You look so cute when you're a flustered mess!" and so on and so forth. Despite all of that, you played volleyball professionally, which meant being pressured all the time. You were a spiker, so that meant following the setter's leads, sometimes being a blocker, and saving the ball. You had to be versatile, all of this in a very short amount of time—fractions of seconds even. But this? This was a different kind of pressure; you had absolutely no idea what to do. And you had your grounds for stating this.
Four years ago, when you were in your first year of high school, when you were sixteen,. You joined the men's volleyball team at Karasuno. You knew this was probably going to take up a lot of your time, but you needed club activities for credits and, well, distraction. You were engulfed in your studies and your desire to be one of the top students at school. Your head professor encouraged you to take breaks and see life in another light, to study a little bit with more ease, and to practice a sport (you quite literally sucked at sports). She said balance was the key to a happy and fulfilling life (or so she said). So you ended up as a helper for the team—not quite a manager but also not a player—and specifically for Kiyoko and Yachi.
Naturally, you were nervous. People kind of gave you the ick; you weren't that much of an extrovert but also not a full introvert. At the end of class, you waited a little bit more just to avoid bumping into any of your classmates on the way home. You also liked to eat lunch alone at your desk. Peaceful and tidy. That’s how you liked it. So this is why it also did not make sense why you chose the volleyball team when you knew how messy and loud things could get. And you absolutely did not know how to handle the situation.
You already spoke with Kiyoko Shimizu, a very stoic girl, and Hitoka Yachi, kind of shy but very lovely. Both were managers of the team (well, Hitoka-san was just kind of a manager in training), and they knew them very well. They talked about the activities you will have to perform if you join the team. They were both very welcoming to you, so you felt a little bit pressured to accept, which, at the end, you ended up indeed accepting.
Standing in front of the school’s gym, you were frozen in place. Unable to actually open the gates and confront your fears, which, you thought, were just unreasonable, people were not going to murder you, humiliate you, or anything like that. It was simply an irrational fear that was tormenting your poor self. Practice had already started with the sound of the ball hitting the court and multiple men shouting stuff like “Nice serve!" “Nice receive!” “One more!” or, seldom, "Hinata, you idiot!”. It sounded like they were having a good time doing what they loved, and that made you feel a little bit more at ease. Volleyball was for them what acing a test was for you; these two very different poles had the same feeling in common. So, you took a very deep breath and opened the doors. Mom did not raise cowards.
“Hi, sorry to interrupt; I’m the new helper.” You spoke in a very low tone, almost faint but hearable. Almost instantly, as if you had a magnet, a guy who was about to hit the ball looked at you. He had his head shaved and looked spellbound the moment you walked in, so he didn’t calculate where the ball was heading and just hit it without noticing its direct trajectory towards you. Squeaking, you placed your hands in front of your face, receiving the ball with your arms. Wobbly, you fell to the ground, your knees hitting the hard wood floor. 
“Tanaka! you dumbass!”
“Oh my god, are you alright?”
“Im so so so so so so so so so sorry, oh gosh.”
You stood there, feeling queasy and blinking slowly, as if this wasn’t really happening. Noticing a lot of eyes on you, you forced yourself to focus on something, anything. Your first reaction was the hot feeling where the ball hit your arms; your veins were pumping blood swiftly, reminding you that you were indeed alive. And also, oh god, that feeling of adrenaline that hit you like a tempest—it felt so weirdly good.
“We might need to call an ambulance; she is not responding. Tanaka-senpai, you broke her.”
“I’m—I’m fine—” You decided to focus your eyes on the last voice you heard; it belonged to a ginger who looked like the bubbliest of them all. He was too short for him to be playing volleyball (you knew how much height mattered in this game) but it had a strange quality you couldn’t decipher either “You guys don’t need to call anything; I’m alright. Better than ever, hah.” laughing it off, you shrugged and stood up with the help of a white-haired dude who exuded gentleness.
“We are really sorry this happened; our teammates react poorly to...girls, in general.” The alluded reacted very hurt by this; they looked fiercely offended. Squinting your eyes, you looked at the guy who almost blew your teeth off (it actually wasn’t that bad, but you will always keep saying you almost died that day). He stopped looking apologetic and started looking a lot more like someone who was about to flirt with you, gesturing towards you with his hand. He spoke his next words with a tone similar to honey.
“I’m so sorry, you beautiful, beautiful girl. Darling, accept this apology I bestow upon you.” He took both of your hands in his, and when he was about to kiss the area where When the ball met your skin, Kiyoko slapped him at the nape of his neck. She looked fierce, severe, and even enraged.
“Guys, this is the new helper on the team. Please give her a warm welcome.” Her tone stayed the same throughout the whole sentence, except at the end, where she raised her tone just a bit: “And do not flirt with her because I will foresee a proper punishment for anyone who dares to do so.” 
“Well said, Kiyoko-san! There’s nothing else to see here; she’s fine; let’s pick up where we left off.” You knew he was the captain just by looking at him.
“Yes! Daichi-san!”
Karasuno’s volleyball team was quite literally full of eccentric people. You turned towards Hitoka and Kiyoko. You felt oddly safe around them; they behaved like sisters with you even though you were a mere student. As of right now, you were just a stranger to them, and they were warm with you; it was the kind of warmth you sought out on rainy days and stormy nights. It felt like home.
“I’m really sorry I made such a fuss; I just wanted to introduce myself.” You apologized as you walked closer to them. By making weird gestures with your hands, you tried to ease the tension that was forming right now.
“Do not worry, please. I’m very adamant when it comes to the girls here."  Kiyoko replied, moving her head up and down full of resolve. Hitoka did the same thing, but she looked a lot more expressive than her Senpai; she even messed her hair doing so. “By the way, you have good reflexes. That was a nice save.”
“Thank you,” you said while feeling flustered. “So who is everybody?”
“I’ll introduce you to them.”
And so she did; you met every single tenacious member of the team. And you worked alongside them as your duties required. They welcomed you with open arms and hearts, considering you part of the team, as if you were even a player. You must admit you did not expect this, not this kind of treatment, nor how they saw you as one of them. You got close to various members, especially Sugawara and Daichi; they behaved like parents with you. Sugawara looked after you a lot; he asked if you ate or how you did on your tests. Since you were a perfectionist when it came to grades, he usually congratulated you and gave you a warm hug. Daichi wasn’t that expressive, but he started seeking you out at lunch time so you could eat with them (even though you were just a first-year).
This shone through whenever Tanaka or Nishinoya tried to compliment you on your looks or on how good the uniform looked on you. Sugawara scolded them like a mother and Daichi yelled at them angrily. Both Tanaka-san and Noya-san were very captivated by you (or all of the managers of the team, for that matter), and they quickly gained confidence in you. You learned to laugh those comments off. As you started to realise it was just an innocent and playful game they had, they did treat you with a lot of respect and good manners at the end of the day. 
Asahi had a hard time warming up to you. He really intimidated you for the matter; he was almost seventeen centimeters higher than you, and he was so broad and big. You thought he had a personality that fit his physical appearance, but you were so wrong. You had to gulp down all of your fears and walk up to him, and with that, you started a friendly relationship. It took some time, but you managed to get him to ask you to hang out with him or correct his spikes. That felt amazing to you.
Tsukishima and Yamaguchi became very close to you; they treated you as their equal, and for Tsukishima, that was quite a lot to ask for. He often asked you questions about homework and even asked you to study with them, which you happily accepted. This was your area of expertise, so of course you would say yes. You could help and teach people all day if you could do so; it was one of your many passions.
As for Hinata and Kageyama, you were only close with the latter, as you were in the same class as him and even sat next to his desk. You usually offered to help him study since you knew he had a hard time when it came to academics, and you also felt that it was a little bit of a help to the team since they had to keep their grades up. You almost cried when Kageyama got a 70 on an English test, all because you both had spent the last three weeks studying very intensely. 
You managed to keep a good relationship with the team as the weeks went by, but you still did not know how to get close to Hinata. Everyone warmed up to you except the most extroverted of them all. You felt a little bit bad because of this, but you were able to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where you are with the team. First of all, speaking with them was terrifying at the beginning because they all had such marked and strong personalities; everybody was also different and unique in their own ways. Secondly, they were very serious about volleyball, so you had to learn the sport very well to actually get close to them. This proved to be very good for you; something in your heart tugged whenever you saw or read about volleyball. Something started to bloom in you slowly but surely, all thanks to them. And finally, you had to open yourself up to them; you had to actually show them what you were made of—your fears, passions, and personality. And that definitely was not peaceful and tidy; on the contrary, it was messy and complicated, but it felt like being alive for the first time.
So, with all of that behind you, you still did not manage to understand why Hinata didn’t gravitate towards you or show interest in knowing you besides his usual "Hello, smartie!” or his wide, toothy smiles. You knew this was just shallow; it was something reserved for everybody; it wasn’t something you two shared together, only the two of you. You also did not understand why you always paid a lot more attention to Hinata than the rest of them. You held your breath every time he scored a point with one of his fast spikes or how high he jumped; you were always mesmerized when you saw him play. At the beginning, you judged him by his height, and he managed to prove you wrong. With his speed and jumps, he is able to fight in the skies alongside all of the tall guys. This fact alone had you on the clouds; you never saw someone fight this hard for something, not even yourself, so it lit something up within yourself. You couldn’t decipher what it was, but you felt the warmth there, tingling.
Hinata slowly filled your head with him. Whenever you went to practice, you couldn’t avoid looking his way or paying attention to what he said when he missed a point or whenever he drank water. You felt your hairs crisp up when he asked something of you—towel, water, what time it was, anything. It just didn’t matter what it was; he had you in a freaking chokehold.
Today was one of the days you had to clean up the gym. The team didn’t practice today, so it was your labour to tidy up. When you came in, you did not expect to see Hinata practicing. He looked a little bit annoyed with himself. Kageyama was nowhere to be seen; it looked like he decided to practice all by himself today. So naturally, a brilliant idea crossed your mind, and you couldn’t rationalize when the word came out of yourself.
“Hey Hinata! Do you want help?” You were wearing your PE class uniform so nothing was really stopping you (besides the fact that you did not know how to properly play volleyball outside of theory). He looked taken aback, almost surprised to see you there. Before he could say anything, you added, “I have time.”
“But you don’t play volleyball.”
“Teach me.”
“Huh!? but I’m not that skilled to do so.” He replied, frustrated.
“Teach me, Hinata-kun! I want to learn how to play. I want to be a great spiker!” You shouted, feeling a little bit overwhelmed. You felt your cheeks warm up as they got coloured with a bright pink color. Hinata observed you silently; he looked surprised by your little demonstration of feelings.
“Alright.”
And so you spent the next 4 hours practicing with him. Time flew by and you had to do your cleaning duties in a hurry and clumsily. Hinata showed you how to control the ball and spike. You practiced until you got at least a perfect spike, and at the end of the day, you were a perfectionist. This weirdly made your heart skip a beat; this felt so close and intimate that you were having trouble believing it happened. So, before you had to leave, you stopped Hiinata at the entrance. Something changed in you today—the feeling of the ball in your hand, the view of the court. Something clicked.
“I want to be a pro at volleyball.” You confesed. You saw how his eyes focused on you and how slowly a frown appeared in his face. Something burned in his eyes and in yours too. Passion flew in the night air. “Help me, Hinata-kun; I want to achieve my dream.”
“Let’s meet up after school on the days where we don’t have practice.” He replied sternly. He meant it; you knew just by looking at him. This was your opening, finally something that you both shared.
And so you did; you both met up every day when you didn’t have practice. You slowly started to get better at volleyball, and you also started to practice by yourself, including training with weights and cardio. With Hinata’s teachings, you could at least get a grasp on how things worked. And each and every day, as you both walked home together, you would chat about anything, slowly growing closer together. Until today,  when he stopped you. 
“I’m very glad we can be teammates on the court,” He shook his head and gave you the most sincere smile he could give you. “But I think its time you asked for the help of the others as well. You are getting extremely good, and I want you to push your limits.”
You would lie if you said it didn’t break your heart a little. You understood where it came from, but at the very same time, you despised every sentence of it and the fact that you got better at volleyball. But you were proud as well; there is a reason you hid your feelings.
“Yeah, you’re right.” That was all you said before waving with your hand and saying, “I’m in a hurry today; I’ll see you tomorrow at practice. Get home safely; goodbye, Hinata,” and with that, you ran. Very fast. Since you were training, you had the ability to run a few meters before you got tired. Little streams of tears ran down your cheeks. Everything was just going so well. What changed? Did you do something? You definitely feel awful right now.
And so, when you showed up to practice the next day, you beamed at everybody and declared that you wanted to practice with them. They refused at first, but with Hinata backing you up (this made your heart ache), you were able to convince them and start practicing with Karasuno as a spiker. Noya-san taught you how to receive and dive, and you learned in no time. Tsukishima helped you with your block, and everybody helped you with your serve. In no time, you were a worthy rival for the team. You had speed and good reflexes; Kageyama loved to be your setter. 
All of this had a very big downside: you grew apart with Hinata; it didn’t matter how good you got; without him, you felt empty, as if someone took the blankets out of your bed, as if someone gave you cold pizza. It was a lonely, empty feeling. You knew he started to avoid you; it all started with your gaze, then the amount of beaming smiles he gave you, then the amount of high-fives he started, and then the amount of compliments he gave you. He started to frown whenever you were around and started to avoid you. All of this did not make any sense to you. 
You decided to brush past every single interaction with Hinata and focus on the important thing: your job as a team helper and rising volleyball player.
For the first one, you had to start planning stuff alongside Kiyoko and Hitoka because the team was going to go against Aoba Johsai, against the fearable Oikawa Tooru. You have heard stories about him, and you heard from Kageyama that he learned thanks to him, so naturally you feel a very strong desire to meet the guy and analyze every move he has. And well, you’ve also heard that he is very handsome. 
And well, for your career, you started going to the women’s volleyball club (they made a very big exception for you because they were in strong need of a spiker) even when it was very late in the year. It was very nice how your itineraries match; your practice with the women’s team was just the day the guys didn’t have. Everything was going great. 
Today you had practice with the women’s team. You were wearing the uniform (it felt really cool) and joking with your teammates, given the chance. Today your practice was positioned on the same day as the guys, so as soon as it finished, you rushed off to the men’s gym to see the guys.
“Heya!” You saluted while entering.
“Your uniform!” Tanaka screamed; he looked head over heels at the way you looked. Noya-san approached you and got down on one knee.
“Noya-san, stand up! Stand up!” You warned.
Sugawara came close to you and looked at them very disapprovingly. He shushed them. “You always disrupt our practises,” he joked lightly.
“Tanaka’s and Noya’s fault.” You looked accusatory towards them. “Is the practise over?”
“Yeah, we were just stretching. You came to discuss tomorrow’s game?” Daichi replied to you.
“Yes, I was investigating the team, and I have information. I went to one of their matches a few days ago, and I have some notes to share.”
And so you commented on everything you had to, every little detail you were able to grasp. How they served and what they needed to reinforce. Everybody paid attention to you very closely, except Hinata. You ignored the feeling in the pit of your stomach—how acidic and wrong it felt. When you finished, everybody applauded your hard work on the topic of tomorrow’s game. Given the fact that you were as busy as ever, you still managed to be present. And you felt proud about that because you were juggling so much at the same time and doing it well. Everything was going great, and you never felt like this before.
With those feelings over your head, you went home to sleep and got ready for the game against Aoba Johsai. It was hard falling asleep; you couldn’t reconcile your sleep. Everything came crashing at you. You thought about the possibility of them losing, which haunted you. You thought about Hinata, how he preferred not to have you in his life, and how that hurt. You thought about your future—about your dreams, your hopes, and your fears—until you fell asleep.
When you woke up at six in the morning, you got ready in fifteen exact minutes. You were acting on a whim, all because of nerves. You even put on some makeup for the occasion. Today you decided to wear a black sport shirt and your jet black leggings, pairing them with the Karasuno jacket. For comfort, you picked your volleyball shoes.
 You were very confident in Karasuno and his teammates, but nevertheless, you still felt jittery. Your legs felt wobbly and weak, even though you were training to gain muscle on them. Today was the day you saw Oikawa on court. You longed to see Hinata play at his fullest and to see his super-fast spike attacks. You decided to study for a little bit before you went out, and it also helped calm your nerves.
When you left your house, it was still very early in the morning, but you went walking so it was going to take you some time to get there. Your mom kissed you on the forehead, saying how proud she was and how much the club has helped you, and you thanked her and ran off before you could start to bawl your eyes out.
Aoba Johsai was a private school, and it showed. The building was beautiful and their gym was big and wide. The court looked pristine and well-taken care of. You came early to inspect the enemy’s terrain. To your surprise, you encountered the volleyball team.
“Karasuno High School,” said a brown-haired guy. You recognized him as Oikawa.
“Oikawa Tooru.” You stated that you were looking serious.
“Don’t be so harsh on me; you scare me!” He pleaded. He looked really handsome, as everybody kept telling you. When you observed their match, you were not able to be this close to him. You must admit it, he deserves his rumors of having millions of fangirls.
“I’m one of the managers of Karasuno’s team. I came early.”
“You came to observe while we practised? or to meet me?” He smiled arrogantly.
“Actually both. I want you to teach me how to serve.” You said bluntly, “I’m on the women’s volleyball team, and I’ve been observing you; teach me, please.”
“Ah, you are quite the interesting manager.” He chuckled and frowned. “Alright, with one condition, you have to look at me when we go against your team. Look at me and learn.”
“Alright.”
You spent the next half hour playing with Oikawa; he was so tough, you could tell. He showed you his power serves and how he managed to always get them right. You knew this kind of precision and technique could only be the result of years and years of practise.
“Look, Miss Manager, you are a good volleyball player, but you lack confidence. That is the first thing you should consider when you put your feet on the court. ” He gave you genuine advice, to which you did not reply. You just gave him a glance and a huffed yes.
When the team arrived, you and Oikawa had already finished. You learned a lot from him, and you would lie if you said he wasn’t very skilled. You went straight to where Kiyoko and Hitoka were. You listened carefully how coach Ukai gave them instructions and words of encouragement. And as that happened, you three went to get a good place to sit and watch the match while cheering Karasuno up.
The match was very hard; you focused on how they all played, and you felt a tug at your heart whenever the blocked Hinata or  his spikes didn’t score. You cheered whenever they scored, blocked, or served successfully. You yelled encouraging words towards every member of the team, and you shouted even harder when it was Hinata’s turn. At this point, you didn’t care about your appearance, how you behaved, or how well you hid your feelings. You just needed to express yourself. And, as you promised, you saw every move Oikawa made—how he moved, his gestures and mannerisms, the way he clutched the ball. Everything. And you learned technique, and you also learned that you should definitely be practicing more because its the little details that make the whole game change.
When the match finished and they won, you felt full. Oikawa looked more fueled than ever, and the team looked as happy as one can be after beating such an enemy as Aoba Johsai. You, Kiyoko, and Hitoka hugged each other and chanted "Hurray.” Together. It was very close, though, so you still took notes on your little agenda. Some tactics that you made up in your mind while watching the game or little mistakes that cost us various points.
When you were leaving with the team, Oikawa stopped you. “I enjoyed teaching you, Miss Manager. If you ever want some help, call me.” He handed you a piece of paper. You were a little bit perplexed and taken aback. Was he hitting on you? For real? You couldn’t form a single thought at this. It was unforeseen and weird, so, when you were about to reply, an angry voice erupted from behind you.
“She doesn’t need your help, great king! Leave her alone!” And as Hinata was saying that, he took your wrist and pulled you out of there. You caught a glimpse of the confused faces of everyone while Hinata took you far, far from Aoba Johsai.
“Hinata. What’s going on?” You asked confusedly. He first ignores you, then marks territory when a guy asks you out. That makes zero sense. “Hinata, answer me.”
He stopped abruptly and turned around to look at you. His eyes were a little bit glassy and his cheeks flushed, and while he prepared to say his next sentence, you observed him closely, as close as you could, since you hadn’t seen him like this in weeks.
“Fine!” He shouted. “I like you! You confuse me a lot, and something inside me tells me to avoid you, but at the same time, I long for the time when we both practised together, just the two of us.” 
You inhaled some air to reply, but he was faster than you. “You really needed to be trained by other people and other playstyles; be fair with me. I’ve always wanted what was best for you. Whenever I am with you, my heart goes, Pam! Bam! Kaboom! Waaaaaam!” He really looked like he was hurting. “So sorry, sorry, but I couldn’t let that Great King get his way with you! Imagine—”
“Hinata.” You said.
“Imagine he did something to you; I would absolutely never forgive myself because—” He started rambling.
“Hinata!” You shouted.
“Huh?” He stopped talking and looked at you, more teary-eyed than ever.
“Can I kiss you?” You spat.
“Ah?! but—don’t you hate me? “ He asked.
“Yes or no.”
“Yes.”
And so you did. You crashed your lips with his in  a very messy but sweet kiss. Hinata’s lips tasted like a sweet and soft marshmallow; his kiss tasted like honey; and you felt as if this was what you needed for a long time. This was the root of your longing—this kiss and this moment with Hinata. You placed your hands on his sweaty hair and started caressing him in very careful circular motions. The kiss in reality didn’t last long, but for both of you, it lasted an eternity.
“Be my boyfriend.”
And after this incident, you and Hinata really did hit it off. You both were a good couple; you helped him with his exams, and he helped you with your jump (although you were already good at it). With the passing of months, you had to leave your position as manager to become a full-time volleyball player. That day, when the match against Aoba Johsai happened, you discovered that if you were not going to dedicate full time to volleyball, you better quit. Nevertheless, you still supported Karasuno; hell, you went to cheer up on your boyfriend every time he had a match.
You and Hinata lasted three years, then you both broke up to follow your careers in volleyball. You knew this was going to happen, but you both bid your farewell and went to different parts of the world to learn and practise volleyball. He was admitted to a great first-league volleyball team, and so were you.
Until today, four years later, when he stood in front of you. You still didn’t know what possessed you that day when you asked him for a kiss or what it was that was possessing you now, but you walked towards him. Just when the cashier asks for his order.
“I’ll have... a melon pan and...” He started saying:.
“And an espresso.” You completed.
He instantly turned around, and as if he saw a ghost, his eyes scanned you with surprise and fear. He didn’t really process what was happening; he only knew that he saw you. And you looked as pretty as he remembers, with your lovely hair that frames your face, your intense gaze, and your lips that looked like they needed him and only him. Meanwhile, the cashier looked perplexed.
“So the espresso goes or...?” She asked expectantly.
“Yeah, the espresso goes.” He replied, looking at you, “Actually, make those two, please.”

“Heal our wings” by StorytellerElaine
To be honest, like, really really honest, I'm supposed to be studying for one of my classes, yet, here we are my people.
If I'm being honest with you, there's so many fics around the internet that I didn't know where to begin with, but today I read a post on Instagram that in december we could have news about Haikyuu!! 5th season.
So, when I thought about doing this rec-fic, I'm not gonna lie, I didn't know what I was thinking. But I don't regret choosing this fic as the first one.
If there's something I can totally bet is that at least every fanfic reader has re-read a fic the totally love.
This is mine. Or well, one of them.
I won't lie, I'm into the time travel thing, like, in all of my AO3 bookmarks, there's at least 152 fics, only with that specific tag, so yeah, I know what I am doing with this, sorta.
As always, and even more related with the fic, this post and rec has heavy spoilers of the fic, anime and manga.
So if you haven't read the manga and don't like heavy spoilers of what will happen to our favorite tangerine boy, then I'll stop you here and go to read the manga.
Fandom: Haikyuu!!
This is my first fanfic review, so be gentle with this poor soul, university is cruel enough.
Warning: this is long. English is not my first language, so forgive me for the grammatical mistakes I may commit.
Don't forget to share, give your love, reblog and recommend your fic for me to praise them in very constructive ways. And of course, to give me your critics.
With that being said, let us begin.
“Heal our wings” by StorytellerElaine on AO3. Tumblr: @storytellerelaine. In case you want to ask her anything.
It's gonna sound so biased but this is a masterpiece. It's not even complete but it's so well written. So thank you Author-san for sharing it with us.
Now, the info:
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Category: Gen Fandom: Haikyuu!! Relationships: Hinata and everyone, I would put them here but there's many, the author tag the fic very well. Characters: Hinata Shouyou, and everyone. Additional Tags: Karasuno Family; Protective Karasuno Volleyball Club; Hinata Shouyou is Sunshine; Pro Volleyball Player Hinata Shouyou; Time Travel; Alternate Universe - Time Travel; Time Travel Fix-It; Tokyo Nationals Arc (Haikyuu!!); Future Hinata Shouyou; Coach Hinata Shouyou; Big Brother Hinata Shouyou; Nekoma; Inarizaki; Itachiyama; Fukuroudani; Team Bonding; Volleyball; kamomedai; MSBY4; MSBY Black Jackals - Freeform; Asas São Paulo; Haikyuu!! Manga Spoilers Stats: Published: 2021-01-23 Updated: 2021-10-07 (On going) Words: 124.814 Chapters: 13/? Summary: "Professional Volleyball player Hinata Shouyou accidentally time travels back in time to his High School years. After a series of events, he ends up becoming Karasuno's new Volleyball Coach. Now that Hinata-san has taken over, how is their first-ever Spring Tournament going to turn out for Karasuno? Are they going to reach the top? What about their friends and opponents? Are they ever going to find out the mystery behind the two Hinatas? (A Haikyū!! time travel fanfic about ASAS São Paulo Hinata Shouyou meeting the Pre-Nationals Karasuno Volleyball Team) *WARNING* - THIS STORY CONTAINS MANGA SPOILERS!!! (CURRENTLY EDITING THIS WORK)"
Yes, the summary tells you everything and nothing at the same time.
That's what makes this fic so frustrating and so amazing.
(I'm feeling like any moment I would end up saying Kacchan sugoi!!)
Usually, when you are a time-travel-fanfic-genre-reader, you know there's some type-ish of rules regarding the story or how is constructed, and based in these, you read or not the fic. What are this rules? I don't know how to explain it to you because you learn them while you get the experience of reading the fics. It's weird.
But one of them, regarding the narrative, is how the characters socialized with each other, in this case (as the summary says) is a Future!Hinata with 2012/2013!Karasuno VC. The trickery thing is the knowledge (how the author uses this knowledge to introduce us to this new universe/story and how they make us fall in love with their narrative), and since the manga is finished💔 it's kinda easier (but not less challenging) to write it. Write time travel fanfic is hard, so appreciate it when you find a good fic. In the 12 chapters (n° 13 is an Author Note) we get a few general ideas:
Hinata wanting to be his Older-self.
Kageyama wanting that future happen.
Everyone seeing that Karasuno is a cage for Shouyou, ironically.
Karasuno getting suspicious of Older!Hinata.
Karasuno evolving and getting ready to blow everyone away in Nationals.
The context of the fic is that Older!Hinata appears magically in the middle of a practice match, the first years are back from the training camps and the team is preparing for Spring Nationals, Kageyama is frustrated because Hinata won't spike his tosses, and Hinata wants to practice his receives. Basically, Karasuno is a Mess™. That's how it begins.
But when Older!Hinata appears, the more he lets on, the more Younger!Shouyou wants to become that person, who is himself in ten years. At the beginning, they want the Pro Volleyball Player to become their coach and help them to win Nationals but Older!Hinata says no, why? He gives them a very coherent and logical explanation of what we know as the Butterfly Effect™. While reading this chapters, I thought that (if that ever happens to me, which is impossible) I would do the same. Time Travel gives you the chance (and knowledge) of molding the future to a certain extend, but is that why is very dangerous, because you change everything and when you come back, that won't be the future you know, instead, it becomes an alternative reality o AU. And shit hits the fan. I mean, that is, if you're following the 'usual' Time Travel Theory, not Avengers: End Game.
In the end, Older!Hinata becomes their coach but Shouyou must promise to follow the same path he did when he graduated High School (mostly going to Brazil to train in BV, not getting a fever in the middle of a match, but details). Also, very coherent and logical. It's a interesting way of manipulate history, but this is fanfiction and the author holds the power. Still, I have so many theories.
By the way, Older!Hinata is a 26-year-old Hinata Shouyou, who is the N° 21 Opposite Hitter of the ASAS São Paulo, also was the N°21 OP of the MSBY Black Jackals, and is the N°10 OP of the Japanese Men National Volleyball team, with who he went to 2020 Tokyo Olympics. His experience goes on 3 years of High School Indoors Volleyball, 3 years as a Pro in Beach Volleyball and 4 years as a Pro on Indoors Volleyball. 10 years of volleyball experience. As you can understand, the man knows his stuff.
On the past side of the table, we have Kageyama Tobio. He already met Miya Atsumu, so he had so many unresolved issues about what he used to know about his setting and volleyball. He's known as Miyagi's Best Setter. So he meets a Hinata Shouyou, who's very different to the tangerine boy he has by his side at the moment, a taller Hinata that has a 10 years experience and knowledge, a Hinata that can serve, receive, set, spike and block, whose extraordinary reflexes and athletics are refined and developed, and even more importantly, doesn't depend on Kageyama to play. He realized that Hinata became his own player, his own person and his own decoy. Totally crushing, poor Tobio. And yet, that's what motivates him to achieve that future, because that would meant that he found that person.
As for the other three points, there's a particular scene (one that is my favorite) where Older!Hinata, not only speaks about the wasted potential during Karasuno but also about being lost and not knowing what he wanted when he was in High School. In a way, he refers to Hinata playing for what they wanted him and not what he wanted to be. This is another interesting topic that I've seen being talked in other fics, and is something I agree with. I totally believe that if Karasuno had focused on helping Hinata learn and train the basics instead of throwing him to the wolves, he would be a better player. Yeah, Shouyou wanted to spiked the ball, but volleyball is more than that, at some point, you end up playing in all positions, that's why volleyball players are well-rounded. In a way, it's about connecting with every position, with every player. During the fic, Karasuno learn this, they see the mistake while Older!Hinata is fixing it. He shows Karasuno what they were missing but also he shows his younger-self what he can become. And this 16-year-old Hinata Shouyou wants to become that, and by doing it, he must to become his own person.
Yeah, Time Travel Fix-It.
So Karasuno evolves. They're not those kids who barely survive Shiratorizawa. And it's amazing reading it. There's no other way to explain it, because the author shows us not only the 12 karasuno players, but also the managers, Coach Ukai and Takeda-sensei, how all of them are affected by Older!Hinata, and as always, how his presence influence them. It's kinda like Hinata being the sun and everyone feeling the rays of the sun and their warm, even his younger-self. The author uses all of them to help us see everything that's happening, not only Kageyama and both Shouyous. At some point, when they finally arrive at Nationals, we see other characters POV's, and is exciting 'cause we read through them how Karasuno is this New Karasuno, that's ready to take names and kick asses. We watch them giving everything to be this New Karasuno. It's exciting.
Older!Hinata do this with no regrets and he gives his all to help them achieve what he couldn't when he was a high schooler, but not everything is awesomes and greatness, 'cause he is so close but so far from home, that you can feel the pain during the whole fic, how much he craves going back to his present. There's no angst but you can feel it. You can see that he's hurting, even more when they arrive at Nationals, because there's so many people he knows, people he's friends with, and yet, they don't know him, they haven't shared the same experienced, and even if they will, it won't be the same because he already change everything (which is related to a theory of mine, but that's for another moment).
Karasuno gets suspicious, and while he lets on a lot of things (and even some characters have their own theories), he also won't say a word about anything, meaning, he says he plays in Brazil but won't say a word on his time with the Jackals, or the National Team, or even his time in Karasuno. It gives you this feeling on 'when will he finally break'. Kageyama has this idea that his future self and Older!Hinata are not friends anymore, and of course he tries to fix that while he can.
I really love how all the experiences Hinata had in the time-skip, the author could translate them perfectly in this personality we see during the fic, this very wise, mature, patient and understanding Hinata. It not only amaze the characters but also the reader while advancing the fic. It makes you wonder how is this future this Hinata lives in.
And that's what takes us to the other side of the table: the Future Side. (or present?)
While a big part of the story happens in the past (ten years in the past, in 2012/2013), there's a bit that happens in the future, in 2022.
We have Kageyama, Atsumu, Kenma, Bokuto, Sakusa and Pedro, trying to figure out what happened to Shouyou. Because he disappeared. It gives you this perspective on how everyone sees Hinata Shouyou, not only the player but the person too.
There's many fics that shows some of this friendships, the manga (at least in the time-skip) doesn't show too much on certain relationships, but usually fics approach this as Hinata being friends with everyone (totally true), being the funny, amazing, talented, cute and silly guy he is, but not many mention the way his experiences changed him and made him be more mature, and while some fics do it, Heal our Wings captures it in the perfect way. Hinata became the reliable guy, the one you know he'd always had your back, he's that one friendship you want to take care of, and even if you haven't talked in ages when you do, it feels like that time never went on. We see these six characters trying to find what happened (and probably will see them getting him back) because each of them is bonded with Shouyou in their special way. Yeah, even Omi-san.
To be honest, there's not many to address about the future without telling you everything, but the fact that they want Hinata back speak lots about them.
I totally recommend this fanfiction, and even if Time Travel is not your thing, you won't regret reading it. I mean, 12 chapters and almost 125.000 words. If that doesn't seduce you, then you and I must to have a serious talk. Just joking. (I'm not).
The way the author uses all the resources to tell this story, how well written it is, and how it makes you want more, makes worth the wait. I mean, I'd read it like 5 times. And it's never enough.
So yeah, 100% recommended✨✨✨✨✨.
Anyways, if you reached here, thanks for reading me ranting about this.
And if you want, please share, give your love, reblog and recommend your fic (or a fic you read) for me to praise them in very constructive ways. And of course, to give me your critics✨.
Hope you're safe and healthy🙏✨
I think that's all, Purple Girl out✨💜💜💜

i have been searching for this fic for Months; and i can’t find it, It was a kagehina slow burn, canon-compliant (at least mostly i think) and at the end of it Hinata proposes to Kageyama at the national team’s gym when Kageyama yells out ‘nice receive’ to him during practice, and he hears it and like, runs over to his bag and takes out a ring and proposes to him right there and its super sweet
please help me find it i would Cry i want to read it again so bad
hi anon! unfortunately, i couldn’t find anything that matches your description exactly. the fic i linked below was the closest thing i could find :’) it’s actually really similar to your description, but hinata doesn’t have a ring with him. hopefully it’s what you’re looking for! if not, i’d rly appreciate it if someone who sees this & have read the fic shares it in the comments/reblogs below <3
burnt by sunbeams by emleewrites
Completed | T | 38.0k
Tobio drops his hands from his face at Hinata’s bright voice and looks down. Hinata beams up at him, wide and blinding, a ball of sunshine on a gymnasium floor. Tobio kind of feels like he’s burning when Hinata looks like this – sunbeams personified – but that’s okay.
He’ll happily spend the rest of his life getting burned by Hinata Shouyou.
-
Kageyama thinks that being in a relationship seems to be simple at first. It's just Hinata; there's just a lot more kissing involved. But no relationship is without challenges. And for Kageyama, he'll weather them all, so long as he gets to bask in the sun.
Hinata and Kageyama: a relationship study.

Pro volleyball player Hinata Shouyou taking pro volleyball player Kageyama Tobio and his sister Miwa to see Natsu play; all sporting sunglasses and hats or hoodies to not catch anyone's attention
Of course that doesn't work out and everyone loses their shit
All the other pro players sulk because Hinata didn't invite them to see little hinata
So he takes them all (+ friends!) to see Niiyama play at the nationals
Cue everyone freaking out and TV crew + security being overwhelmed
All of them whip out Niiyama (but mainly Natsu, let's be honest) banners/jerseys/whatever you call it and go crazy
They make the news. Of course they do. They become legends.
Most buff cheer squad in volleyball history.

Summary:
His miracle idea came to him one day as he watched the orange cat jump onto its balcony. There, practically blending into the cat’s fur, was a red collar. It’s a wonder he didn’t notice it beforehand, Tobio thinks, eyeing the bell that jingles as the cat leaps onto his windowsill to stare inside and look for Whiskers.
There’s no tag, he thinks, but that won’t be a problem.
He grabs a scrap of paper from his desk, writing a court message on a strip he tore off.
Hi, your cat keeps coming to my apartment in the middle of the night. Is it possible you can keep him inside overnight? Thanks.
He adds his name and phone number for good measure before slipping the note onto the mystery cat’s collar, hopefully ending his late nights once and for all.

“I don’t deny I’m married!” Hinata laughs, sounding very proud at this declaration. Tobio’s chest squeezes.

“Hmmm?”
Hinata lets his hands drop away from his face and raises himself up on his elbows slightly so he can squint down the bed at him. “How many flavours have you made?”
“Err… six.”
Hinata stares at him wordlessly before letting his aching head drop back onto the pillow. “You thought I’d eat six bowls of soup?” He asks the ceiling, voice rough and bewildered.
Tobio frowns, slightly offended. Of course he didn’t think Hinata would eat six bowls of soup, he wasn’t an idiot. “I wanted to be thorough,” he pouts, scowling down at his medley of soup. Admittedly the kitchen now looked like a bomb had hit it and he’s not entirely certain about the cauliflower one, but he’s fairly sure they’re all edible.

Going against players that towered over him and spending two years in a foreign country was nothing! Even when angering his old teammate Kageyama Tobio, Hinata just didn't get scared easily. Though, as much as he hated to admit it, he was definitely terrified of one thing.

Hinata is hiding his deep fear of thunderstorms from the people around him and is dealing with the consequences.
