"Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by
Saw what I'd done he set up a nest outside,
And he sang about what I'd become
He sang so loud, sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear,
So I invited him in, just to reason with him
I promised I wouldn't do it again

But he sang louder and louder inside the house,
And no I couldn't get him out
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
Stood on it to make him stop
I picked up the bird and above the din I said
That's the last song you'll ever sing
Held him down, broke his neck,
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget"

Read here on AO3 or keep reading below! :) I hope you enjoy it!

Tanaka knew that he had been interested in girls from a very young age - that much was obvious. In spite of his interest and various pursuits, he had only gone on one date, which was more like a blind group date, rather than an actual date. So when the gorgeous Nakagawa Hayami asks him out one day after class, Tanaka doesn’t hesitate to say yes. He also doesn’t hesitate to boast about his latest victory to Noya as soon as he runs into him in the corridor that very afternoon.

“Hayami, hey? The small, cute one?” Noya muses as they walk out of the school together. Tanaka deflates a little when he notices the lack of excitement in Noya’s voice. Shouldn’t his best friend be happy for him now that he had finally managed to score a date with one of the most beautiful girls in the school?

“Yeah!” Tanaka practically shouts, gesticulating wildly as though that would somehow pump Noya up a little more. “She’s super cute, Noya-san!”

With what seems like a fair bit of effort, Noya lifts up his head and smiles his usual, blinding grin up at Tanaka and he is back to his usual bubbly self - for a moment.

“That’s awesome, dude!” Noya slaps him on the back - perhaps a little more forcefully than necessary - and lets his hand fall quickly down again as they continue walking towards the corner store.

A sudden thought occurs to Tanaka when Noya stares hard at the ground instead of back up at him. Of course; how could he have been so blind to it?! Noya was jealous - jealous that he, Tanaka Ryuunosuke, managed to get a date with a super-cute girl before Noya did! That made sense, but it still didn’t justify Noya’s cold attitude towards him.

To Tanaka, Noya had it all - he was cute, charming, a kick-ass volleyball player, and had an incredible personality. He had the ability to draw out the best in absolutely everybody around him and made them feel so good about themselves, and Tanaka always wondered why Noya wasn’t asked out more often. So when Noya fails to react to Tanaka’s latest feat, he can't hide his annoyance at this less-than-enthusiastic response. He grabs Noya’s arm and forces him to look at him. The two stand, staring at each other; Tanaka notices Noya’s eyes darken with something he had not seen before in his best friend.

“Dude, what’s wrong? Listen,” Tanaka emphasises, not giving Noya a chance to actually tell him what’s bothering him. “A girl’s interested in me, for the first time ever, Noya-san! I’m not gonna just ignore that, ya know?” Tanaka laughs heartily, trying to diffuse the tension between the two of them.

“I-I know that, mate!” Noya also chuckles in response, but even he knows that it sounds way too forced. “I … I want you …” Noya starts hesitantly, trailing off as Tanaka’s eyes widen and and focus on something just above Noya’s shoulder.

“You want me to what? Hayami-chan! I’ll see you tonight!” Tanaka waves to the girl standing behind Noya.

“Bye!” Hayami calls out, blushing amongst her friends. The group of girls giggle as they walk past them and Tanaka looks as though he’s just been hit over the head with a frying pan; a dazed expression crosses his face and he scratches the back of his head, a small habit that he does only when he’s nervous. Noya picked up on it a while ago, but chose not to say anything because he thought it was so damn cute.

“Uh …” Noya stammers, unsure of how to respond.

“Forgot what you were gonna say, huh? Happens to me all the time, you know!” Tanaka laughs again as they resume walking, although Noya notices that there is a new spring in his step after seeing Hayami. “Anyway, I hope we’re cool, dude. You know I love you,” Tanaka says suddenly.

Noya freezes in his tracks, causing Tanaka to stop and turn to face him. It’s too much for Noya - he can’t take it anymore. He can’t keep faking his enthusiasm and he can’t stand seeing Tanaka looking so darn giddy over a person that isn’t him, which Noya knows is petty and immature as hell. Fuck it, Noya thinks before going in for the kill.

“I love you too,” Noya gushes, unable to help himself. He steps forward, his face mere inches away from Tanaka. It was now or never. “I want you, Ryuu,” Noya repeats himself, this time making sure that his message is clear. Before Tanaka can say or do anything (and ensuring that Hayami is well out of sight), Noya stands on his toes and kisses him. He pulls back almost as soon as their lips touch, regretting it instantly. Hadn’t Tanaka just flipped out about how excited he was about Hayami?! Wasn’t it obvious that he was straight? How tactless can I be? Noya wonders despairingly, so caught up in his own thoughts that he doesn’t even notice Tanaka reach out to him.

“R-Ryuu …” murmurs Noya, aware that their faces are now mere inches apart.

“Shh,” Tanaka seals Noya’s lips with another kiss - another kiss, Noya almost yells in delight, thrusting his fist in the air, not caring how lame he must have looked.

When they pull apart this time, Tanaka is the one to step back. He stares at Noya as though he is looking - truly looking - at him for the first time. Suddenly, as soon as the moment comes, the moment is over and Tanaka whips out his phone. Heart sinking, Noya bites his lip as he watches Tanaka make a call. Is that how little their moment meant to him?

Noya’s mood is not improved when he figures out who Tanaka is calling. “Hey, Hayami-chan!”

Well, it was fun while it lasted, Noya thinks darkly.

“Yeah, I’m sorry but I have to cancel tonight! I’m really sorry, but I’ll explain it to you tomorrow if that’s okay?” Silence. Noya dares to get his hopes up as Tanaka continues talking, never once taking his eyes off him. “Great! Cool, thanks for being so understanding!” As simple as that, Tanaka hangs up the phone and wraps his arms around Noya.

“Well, that’s a win-win,” Noya grins, kissing his best friend for the third time that evening. He doesn’t think he’ll ever tire of doing that.

Honey bee, you should be through with this
Your packaged eyes, your vicious lips
You could be young, but you're out of touch
If this love's been done, then what's your rush?

All these couples are kissing
And I can't stand the heat
I lost my shoes and left the party
I wander in the street
I put my feet into the fountain
The statues' all asleep
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief
Make me a bird of prey
So I can rise above this, let it fall away

"I was on a heavy tip
Tryna cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side
Like always, wondering what to do with life
I'd already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side
Like always, you could never make your mind

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion
That lasted for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?"

this focuses more on first and second year sorry about that ;w;'>

----------------

First Year
They’d worked together for most of the term. Spent as much time as they could with each other, gauged each other’s strengths, memorised little habits like an obsession. Everything was perfect, in theory, but it was just that.

In theory.

Teshima was good at strategizing, he was smart enough to formulate plans that worked in theory, and the application would have been fine if they were stronger. Attaining synchronicity before the end of the year was a pipe dream anyway, a shot in the dark that could have bore fruit, but didn’t. And it’s that probability of failure that doesn’t make it taste as disappointing as they thought. They were only first years, after all. And after the disaster that was this year’s Inter High, it paid to err on the side of caution. They had time to figure it out. And being the only first years, it wasn’t as if they had anyone nipping at their heels. Considering how small their club was, it wasn’t like they had to fight that many people to make it.

(But, Aoyagi had said, next year we’ll be in trouble. Who knows what kinds of people would join.

We’ll make it Teshima had replied, grin wide and confident.)
They’d need to get better. But they’d always known that.

It’s hard sometimes, getting out of bed at 6am even on weekends, riding on rollers in the winter and well over the new years and Christmas breaks. But they support each other where they can, goad the other into practising twice as hard and twice as long; putting in twice as much effort as they would normally.

After all, they’d need to work twice as hard to make it work.

Second Year
It was quiet, hours following the (their) failure. They’d mindlessly dragged themselves to their shared room in silence, knowing full well the first years were still cycling. It was unlikely they knew what happened after all; their backs vanishing into the distance even as the two of them hit gravel. The third years were probably still at it too, despite how disappointed Tadokoro most likely was. But that meant they could take advantage of the baths, Teshima supposed, voice too quiet for Aoyagi to actually hear. (The other in response as if he had though, and Teshima wonders if he’d heard the waver in his voice.)

Their movements were slow, legs seizing if they lifted them too high or sat down, washing the sweat and dirt from their bodies methodically, stiffly, faces carefully blank and decidedly not looking at each other. The heat of the bath was a welcome reprieve despite the unusual silence, warmth soothing the muscles of their legs. But they couldn’t afford to linger too long here, ice was better than heat for this type of injury, and the sooner they could get compression bandages on the better. Leaving the bath was harder than getting into it, Aoyagi almost slipping over and grimacing as his muscles sparked with ache.

Thankfully, the medical bay wasn’t that far from the baths, and even though neither could really kneel down to wrap bandages around each other, they made it work somehow, tugging them tight and secure and just in time for the first years to find them.

Teshima pulls up the dregs of his earlier bravado, talking all too casually, calmly, as if the disappointment wasn’t crushing them both. The first years leave afterwards, and after a beat of silence they stand on still shaky legs, slowly, slowly making their way back to their room.
Neither of them can find sleep however. And eventually Teshima sighs and moves over onto his side.

“Next year,” He promises wearily, finally breaking the silence. “We’ll make it next year.”

Aoyagi’s arms tighten around him in affirmation, cradles Teshima’s face in his hands and presses their foreheads together.

“We’ll make it. I believe in you, too.”

Third Year
They stand right at front; before the crowd with cheers rising around them in expectation, with the stares of dozens of other schools at their backs. On the single digit zekken. Aoyagi glances over as Teshima clips on his helmet, eyes sharp but anticipation bubbling beneath the surface.

“We’re not out of the woods yet, Aoyagi.” Teshima says above the swell of noise around them, perhaps feeling Aoyagi’s stare. “But we’ve made it this far. We might just finish what we’ve started.”

There’s little time to reply, the final announcement ringing loud over the masses who only cheered louder in response.

“Let’s go, Aoyagi. Together, right?”

The starting gun fires.

Kei sighs.

It's a soft sound, for such an expansive movement, the rise and fall of his shoulders, the expansion and contraction of his lungs, his breath misting in the cold night air like his soul taking a brief, nebulous shape before disappearing into nothing.

It's an action that Tadashi is familiar with. He knows those shoulders, has memorised the slope of them, to the point where he almost knows what they would feel like beneath his hands. He knows how warm they would feel, how solid, just like the rest of Kei.

He would say that its been a while since he's last thought about it but then, he would be lying. It doesn't matter that they don't see each other as often any more, now that they're in university, in two different towns. Tadashi still thinks of him constantly; thoughts of Kei fill him the same way the stars fill the sky on a clear night, impossible to count, each one unassuming at a glance but burning with a force of its own. The very existence of Tsukishima Kei is enough to have a galaxy blossoming to life inside Tadashi, spinning and expanding and threatening to spill out of him.

Tadashi has held back for this long, though. He's learned to look away before his glances can turn into stares, he's learned to bite his tongue before his babbling can turn into confessions. He manages, somehow, even though he burns for it. He aches to reach out, but he's a coward, in the end. He's already let his chance pass through his fingers, like sand on the shore, blown away by the wind. He has no right to regret it, but that's never stopped him before. It's not going to stop him now.

"You're awfully quiet tonight," Kei murmurs, glancing sideways at Tadashi, his glasses slipping down his nose before he adjusts them.

Tadashi's gaze is drawn to Kei's long fingers, his breath catching in his throat.

He reaches forward, without any real thought, not even realising what he's doing until his fingers are tangling with Kei's.

"…Yamaguchi."

"Sorry," Tadashi breathes, and he tries to pull his hand back, but Kei is holding onto it tightly, using it to pull him in.

"Sorry," Tadashi whispers again, and it comes out against Kei's lips this time, just before they're on his. Tadashi shuts his eyes, trembling until Kei squeezes his hand, grounding him.

"Sorry you took so long, you mean," Kei murmurs as he pulls back, and Tadashi didn't think that second chances existed, not for things like this, but it's there in the gentle curve of Kei's smile. It's there in the soft press of his lips when Tadashi leans in to kiss him again, and again, and again.
