OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooh dear lord thank you so much

In particular, I absolutely adore, "Teshima leans in close to catch the words, lost to the music’s heavy bass already running like fever in his blood, and someone who aligns strategies as meticulously as he does should have known better to make such a simple mistake." I keep rereading that line and near falling over myself, that's such a perfect feeling for what I love with the two of them, it's so much more than I had ever even begun to hope for, I'm ECSTATIC. "Don't congratulate me or anything." I'm so incredibly pleased.

Oikawa/Kageyama, Haikyuu!!

I want to be the shampoo on your hair
As I fall down the side
The thick scent of me there
I want to embrace you
If you’ve ever loved another’s fragrance
Forget about them
In a world without aromas
I’ll keep you infatuated with me

If you for no, no, no reason
Make me feel sad
I’ll make sure your eyes sting
But if for no, no, no reason
You make me feel happy
I’ll embrace your whole body
I won’t even let the mirror see your reflection
Covering you with white foam
I’ll embrace your whole body
Making sure no one else can have you
I’ll cover you with me
You can’t get rid of my scent
- Shampoo, After School

It wasn't every night that Akaashi snuck out of his room and walked the four blocks to the nearest park, but it was every night that the moon shone bright enough to read by and he felt it in his blood. He slipped out, it was summer, but the night held just enough chill that goosebumps covered his bare arms and ankles, he was barefoot.

This time of night, his neighborhood felt like a small town. There was no traffic, only distant sounds, and nothing but the streetlights lit the sky. He still could hardly see the stars, but he could feel them, and the moon was there, and it was bright.

He crossed the park, his feet on the cool grass, wet with dew or sprinklers, he couldn't tell, and sat on his favorite bench. He looked up at the sky. The light pollution filtered orange and grey at the edges but the clear blue glow of the moon dominated his sight.

"Akaashi?" The voice was startling, and almost sent Akaashi sprawling to the concrete sidewalk. He looked up, and there, hair shining white in the moonlight, was Bokuto.

"What are you doing here, Bokuto-san?" He didn't have a watch, but it had been after two in the morning when he'd left his house.

He shrugged, and Akaashi noticed that he wasn't smiling. "I like it, the night time, sometimes. I couldn't sleep."

Akaashi scooted over slightly. "You can sit here." He patted the bench beside him, and Bokuto sat.

"I didn't think you'd like the night time." Akaashi said.

"Why not?" Bokuto leaned against the back of the bench and stared up. Akaashi mirrored his position, their shoulder's weren't touching but he could feel the heat.

"I don't know." He replied, his words were lost somewhere above him, floating through the grey-blue sky and he didn't think he could speak them.

"No, really, why don't I seem like a night person?" Bokuto was more insistent, and Akaashi took a deep breath.

"You're too bright."

"Too bright?" His voice almost sounded amused, but Akaashi did his best to ignore it.

"Yes, you're too bright. The moon is the brightest I've ever seen it, tonight, but you're brighter. There's no room for the sun at night time, that's not how it works."

The silence fell between them, but it was warm, as warm as the heat radiating from Bokuto's shoulder.

"The sun, eh?" Bokuto said, and Akaashi could here his smile.

"Yes, Bokuto-san. The sun."

“Bokuto!”

“Captain!”

“Pay more attention!”

The ceiling looks like it’s spinning above him, but he’s about 78% positive that it’s not actually spinning. How did he get down here anyway? It’s afternoon practice, he knows this. He also knows that he’s been feeling off the past few weeks and almost always distracted for the last two days.

But why?

His line of sight is suddenly filled with the completely unconcerned face of one Akaashi Keiji.

“You know, you’d probably look even cuter if you looked even a little worried about me.” The vice captain blinks before immediately rising.

“He’s fine.” Bokuto furrows his brows.

Why am I on the ground?

Then-

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

Bokuto bolts up into a seated position, wasting no time as he presses his face into his hands.

“Bokuto-senpai!”

“Captain!”

He screams into his hands.

I’m in love with Kuroo Tetsurou?!

-

“Yo~”

“H-Hey!” Kuroo falls into line with Bokuto and the pair meander their way through the busy streets of Shinjuku. Bokuto pretends that the sweat on his neck has to do with the heat and not with the fact that three days ago he figured out he was irrevocably in love with the bedhead captain of Nekoma.

“What’s up with you?” Bokuto startles, gaze darting to the boy beside him.

“W-W-W-W-W-What do you mean?!” He says this too loudly, making several passersby stare at the pair with annoyed looks.

Kuroo stuffs his hands in the pockets of his uniform pants. “You’re quiet.”

Bokuto chuckles awkwardly, waving a hand in the air in what he hoped translated to nonchalance. “Ah, you know, exams - practice - hard things!”

“Hmm..”

“It’s not like I’m thinking about love or anything like that..” Bokuto forces a laugh, but inwardly he’s punching himself.

“Sure.” Kuroo pulls ahead of Bokuto and even he can feel that the atmosphere around them is tense. It’s unfamiliar; it scares Bokuto and he doesn’t like it at all. Kuroo turns into their usual ramen place.

Bokuto heaves a sigh, sliding in beside Kuroo. “So why’s your face all red on one side?”

“Keiji served a ball to my face!” Bokuto launches into the story, complete with wildly waving arms and the reenactment of his fall. “Keiji totally aimed for my face, I swear!”

Bokuto feels the atmosphere around them relax, much to his relief. They’re back to their previous camaraderie and it’s like Bokuto never mentioned anything about love earlier. Though it’s not like he forgot, he doesn’t know how he could ever forget that he’s crushing on the guy slurping noodles in front of him.

When they finish their ramen, they leave the shop, easy conversation flowing between them. They buy ice cream from a vending machine and plop down on a bench overlooking a park. It’s blessedly empty, even though the weather is really nice.

“Okay, really what’s up, Kou?”

“E-Eh? What’re you talkin’ about?”

“You’re…” Kuroo waves a hand around his face. “You keep sighing and staring.”
“I-I…” Bokuto freezes when Kuroo looks right at him and he knows he can’t exactly dodge this one. But he’ll be damned if he doesn’t try. “It’s nothing really, Tetsu.”

Kuroo frowns, but his far too perceptive stare doesn’t look away from Bokuto. “Nah, man. That was a shitty try.”

Bokuto sighs, feeling the butterflies in his stomach go nuts - he figures they’ve started partying, setting off fireworks, and inviting all their friends for one hell of a party.

“Let’s say I know this guy - not me.”

“Right, totally.” Kuroo snickers, but all of this goes over Bokuto’s head.

“And he’s like totally gross in love with this guy, right? But he’s a guy, right? That’s cool and all, but, like, this guy is literally his best friend and dude!” He abruptly grabs Kuroo by the front of his uniform. “He loves him!”

Kuroo is silent for a few moments, but then he moves forward and Bokuto exhales softly. The Nekoma captain gently removes Bokuto’s death grip from his shirt, but doesn’t let go of his hands.

“You know that feeling?” Bokuto tries not to think about how long Kuroo’s fingers are and how his thumbs glance over the tops of his knuckles. “When your hands shake? And it feels like there’s electricity all over and your heart just kinda speeds up and it might be too loud? And it only ever happens around one person?”

Bokuto only nods, eyes wide and every fiber of his being focused on Kuroo Tetsurou.

“For me, you’re that one person.” Bokuto’s breath hitches, but his face is soon overtaken by his grin.

“That was so frickin’ cool, Tetsu.”

Kuroo grins, one corner of his mouth lifting higher than the other. “It’s like 100 points with you.”

Bokuto just stares.

“Wh-What...does that mean..”

“I don’t...I don’t know. It was supposed to sound cool.”

“So not cool!”

When Kuroo gets home his mother only shakes her head, unsurprised by the leaves in his hair and the flush and grin on his face. She only wonders when the boy will finally tell her that he and that nice Bokuto boy are finally together. After all, she has a running bet with Kuroo’s father and she has plans to win it.

mention/usage of guns, 461 words

a;sldkfj this turned into 461 words of hiruma meta i.......have zero excuses

Musashi opens his eyes when Hiruma walks into the clubroom with a pasted-on grin and a slight limp. "Dumbass," he says.

"Don't say things you'll regret later," Hiruma replies. Hiruma would always be Hiruma, even with what looked like a pulled leg from overwork, the lines of exhaustion written into his eyes, Musashi thinks. Musashi watches Hiruma rip open a heat pack with his mouth.

"Skipping practice?" Hiruma asks, spitting out the bit of plastic stuck in his teeth. Musashi's heard that tone of voice far too often, the one that's fishing for information because Hiruma needs to know, to be in the know, to be the know itself. Musashi had wondered in the past, what it was like to be Hiruma while he was doing construction work away from the field. What Hiruma would have done if he was Musashi's position, but Musashi had pushed the thought away, because he and Hiruma had more similarities than football and he had the answer.

"You already know," he says.

"So here we are," Hiruma says, his smirk slightly more devilish. Musashi feels the tiny knot at the pit of his stomach disappear.

He nods and closes his eyes again, breathing. He opens them when he hears a chair being dragged. Hiruma's positioned himself at the clubroom window, overlooking the college field, no doubt analyzing the plays. The sun's shining through the window, highlighting Hiruma's hair which everyone thinks is a psychological ploy, because even his hair is impossible just like the rest of him. It's because Hiruma's too lazy to brush his hair in the mornings. Musashi knows: it's hard to sleep 3 hours a day and care about brushing your hair in the morning. When he'd worked construction he'd shoved all his hair into his bandana before making his way over to the site.

"The play from last night?" Musashi asks.

"Of course." Hiruma cackles. "They're winning." His head swivels around and he pulls a gun out from nowhere. "This play is perfect."

Musashi watches Hiruma shoot up the roof of the clubroom manically. Musashi pushes himself off his seat and slowly makes his way outside, trying to hold his breath to keep from inhaling chunks of wood flying everywhere. The managers run into the clubroom, probably in an attempt to wrestle the gun away.

Not much has changed, Musashi thinks as he stands next to the clubroom door, facing the trees and away from the sun, listening to Hiruma cackle delightedly inside. When it comes to Hiruma, their university thinks of the fees for rebuilding the clubhouse, the managers think of weaponry, Deimon Devil Bats think Captain, Mamori thinks clever, Monta thinks of many things none of which are about Hiruma, Kurita thinks of strength, and Musashi thinks of exhaustion.
