Summary
Akaashi knows Bokuto Koutarou is a star, and that stars can't stay in one place forever, regardless of how much you love them.
He also knows that all stories must end eventually - it's just that he hasn't figured out how to stop rereading the same chapter.It's been years, but some things are harder to let go.

Summary
It’s five hours from Tokyo to Sendai. It’s five years from Fukurodani Academy to the Black Jackals. It’s five sets between win and loss and five seconds to miss that final point. It’s five; the number of Fukurodani’s vice-captain and setter for one blinding, beautiful year. It’s five; like an identity branded into his heart, the only number that holds any meaning for him. Black and white and gold.
“You always pick five,” Udai muses in the wake of the staff betting pool. Akaashi’s not even sure what they’re betting on, aware that his final deadline to have the latest manuscript submitted is in five days.
“Five is a good number.”
It’s five years since Akaashi watched Bokuto step into the light of the future and five years since he last set a volleyball into the air on centre court. It’s been five years, and in not one of them has he forgotten what it felt like to stand beneath the trajectory of a shooting star.

Summary
Kiyoomi closes his eyes, slowly. He prays that the ground opens up and swallows him whole. He prays that a whole earthquake rocks Tokyo and brings the place down on him, specifically. He prays that some higher power decides to strike him with lightning right this minute.
“Actually,” he says, grinding it out through clenched teeth, “you haven’t seen any other kids around, have you?”
It's Kiyoomi's last resort to ask a stranger for help finding his sister's missing kids, but it's not like this night can get any weirder, and Miya Atsumu's kind of hot.

Summary
“Do you have any other questions about gay sex and or my private life, or are you satiated?” Kiyoomi quips unfairly accurately.
“Pain in my ass,” Atsumu mutters, receiving a low hum in response. “But no, ‘m all set, thanks.”
“Ok,” Kiyoomi stands from the couch, looking down at Atsumu like one might look at a bug, and says, “shall we get started then?”
And Atsumu feels the exact moment his soul leaves his body.
“Huh?!”
miya atsumu and sakusa kiyoomi are two individuals plucked from trees not dissimilar, much to their objections. they’re standoffish and forthright, they live and breathe volleyball and won’t sell themselves short in its regard — another thing they have in common? their completely pathetic and unrequited crushes on their respective close friends.
they both need to move on, and what’s the best way to get over someone? by getting under someone else, even if they are your teammate, and next door neighbour.

Summary
“Come on then, angel,” Miya smiles, just between the two of them, then grabs Kiyoomi around the middle and spins him in circles all around the room, dodging furniture and cheering teammates and dubious puddles on the floor and their own flying feet, laughing. He’s so beautiful. Miya. Ridiculous fucking man. And he looks at Kiyoomi like he thinks he’s beautiful, too, with all of his odd angles and bushy eyebrows and thin lips. Not that there isn’t some sort of charm to that, if you like the graveyard keeper, haunted doll aesthetic, but—it’s Miya Atsumu. Kiyoomi can’t ever imagine someone that fucking radiant and shit with all of his own gloom and doom.
(Or, Sakusa Kiyoomi vs pet names: FIGHT.)

Summary
Everyone knew about Akaashi and Bokuto. It was in the air—the quiet intimacy between them, the way Akaashi’s gaze softened when it lingered on Bokuto, in the effortless way Bokuto fit himself into every corner of Akaashi’s life, as if the idea of a world without him simply didn’t exist.

Summary
If a cough, however small, cannot be concealed, then no wonder neither can a sneeze.
Still, Atsumu doesn’t so much as try to conceal that first of omens: he doesn’t get sick as a rule (shut up, Ma), so he dismisses the incident as his body’s natural response to Bokuto’s deodorant (Bokuto’s deodorant being the sort that you respond to, for better or for worse) and rolls his eyes at the sharp look Kiyoomi gives him across the room.
Atsumu does not get sick. He is healthy, he is hale, he is the starting setter of a team deep in the throes of a turbulent volleyball season and, even more importantly, he is—
Flat on his ass, ow.
Atsumu’s cold: 1. The power of love: ?

A pause.
Then a burst of laughter escapes Osamu’s lips. Three pairs of eyes swivel over to glare at him.
“A rat,” Osamu wheezes. “Three grown men, all Olympic athletes, cowering in terror atop a kitchen island over a rat?”
“Fuck you,” Atsumu snaps, still in a stage-whisper. “You should have seen the size of it.”
Miya Four deals with a rat in the kitchen of their holiday home.- Language:

Summary
"Your partner doesn't need to hold anyone's hand other than yours," Sakusa's father crouches, "And you can wear gloves."
Sakusa ponders. He hears the other skaters of rink two whiz past as they launch themselves into lifts.
"Alright," He looks up from the ice, not knowing how he'll dedicate the next couple of decades to this sport, this partnership, this boy.

Summary
“How was it?”
“He’s an idiot. As I suspected.”
“That sucks.” There’s no need for half-baked shock or sympathy. Kiyoomi wouldn’t appreciate it, and besides: Atsumu’s decision to keep his piss-colored hair for the past two years doesn’t really indicate stellar intelligence.
“But he’s a good kisser.”
“That’s good,” Motoya nods, and then the chip he’s munching on is slipping down the wrong pipe. “Wait, what the fuck?”
On growing up and out, through the eyes of Komori Motoya.

Come hell or high water. Victory or loss. I will never leave you alone.
Kiyoomi levels his eyes, meets Miya’s hungry gaze head-on. “I dare you,” he says.
Miya grins like he’d savour eating him alive.

Summary
When Miya Atsumu gets off on the wrong foot with a certain Sakusa Kiyoomi on the first day of practice for MSBY Black Jackals, he vows to avoid the stuck-up spiker as much as he can, even while on the same volleyball team. And it would've been a good plan--if Atsumu didn't meet Sakusa again at group therapy that very night.

Summary
Tobio used to worry, almost constantly, about his chronic incapability to link his words with his emotions, but Hinata doesn’t seem to care. He rises to every challenge, laughs when he thinks Tobio is funny, never hides nor runs away. He seeks Tobio out beyond just looking for tosses, seems to thrive more in his company than he does with anyone else.
And Tobio is not immune. Is not infallible to Hinata’s whims and charms, and so perhaps it’s inevitable that his heart makes its way into Hinata’s chest.

Both your deaths in this universe have failed.
“Failed…” Kageyama echoes. The word seems to hurt him.
“How can you fail at dying?” Hinata asks, incredulous.
Luckily you have an infinite selection of universes, with an extensive number of lifetimes, still remaining.
Until you can save one another, you will never grow old.- Language:
