I'm really tempted to fill this, but it'd probably be filled with really terrible jokes and not funny at all.

hi idk how this turned into porn i'm so sorry, this is also my first time writing porn outside of an RP I'M SO SORRY DSKJGLKSJGDSLKJGD

lips crash against each other like lightning meeting earth. rin lets out a moan of pleasure as his best friend deepens the kiss, his shoulders tensing as haru’s hands grab hold of them and shove him onto the bed. they’re both smiling into each other’s mouths, he can feel it. it’s been so long since they last saw each other that even haru can’t hold his smile far from his lips: it’s difficult to get a hold of your best friend when you’re living in different countries and training for the olympics. rin is the first to break the connection, pulling away to gaze upon his best friend.

“it’s been a while, haru.”

two pairs of nimble, rough fingers make quick work of each other’s shirts. rin traces against haru’s pecs, mapping out every memorized curve and line, while haru quickly dips a pair of hands down the sides of rin’s jeans. rin moans once again, relishing in the sensation of familiar hands on his hipbones, haru’s grip steady and strong while he rubs rough circles into rin’s flesh.

he crushes his lips against haru’s again, rougher, faster, every fibre of his body wanting more. haru gnashes his teeth against rin’s bottom lip, sending peals of excitement coursing down his spine; rin reciprocates by toying with haru’s nipples with his thumbs and forefinger. their motions are known but not memorized, well-practiced but fluid. rin reaches down and bites the space between haru’s shoulder and neck, fingernails digging into the skin of haru’s back.

rin tries his best not to squirm too loudly while haru deftly unbuttons the button holding his trousers up, pulling his jeans down once and for all and following with his boxers. now he definitely can’t resist moaning, not while haru’s deft hands are massaging the area around rin’s crotch, teasing the area around the beginnings of an erection with that bemused look in his pool-blue eyes. he’s so easy, easy for haru. this is friendship, isn’t it? they’re best friends. best friends who sometimes kiss and occasionally, when they haven’t seen each other in a long time, fuck. rin’s breath hitches in his throat, trying to ignore the pulsing sensation in his cock as he speaks.

“j- just boys being pals, huh? bros being bros.”

haru rolls his eyes at the statement before pressing his lips to the tip of rin’s erection. rin’s back arches with arousal and he digs his fingernails into the bed, squeezing his eyes shut. they are friends, yes. to say “just” friends would be doing it a disservice too: that would imply that their friendship meant anything less than the years they’d spent swimming and training with each other, both together and apart. haru laves his tongue around rin’s cock and rin lets out a gasp.

he knows that haru knows that they are more. rin's okay with this for now.

oh my goooood <333 amazing

This is adorable ahhhh!!!!!

No warnings apply

Ahhhh, such a good pair! <333
Is my first time drawing them and it was amazing *-*

"Don't be mad," Satsuki says with a brilliant smile, effectively cutting Riko off from her rant about idiotic men and basketball practice. She leans over and sets her hand over Riko's thigh. "Will you feel better if I eat you out?"

"Don't distract me!" Riko flushes red but doesn't look away. This is an improvement from their earlier days, when Riko would run away if Satsuki did anything more than hold her hand. Still, she looks less angry now as she leans back against the tree. Together, they watch students meander around campus. If Riko is bothered by Satsuki's legs pressed against hers on the grass, she makes no comment of it. "And stop offering people sexual favors," Riko adds, almost as an afterthought.

Satsuki can feel her smile widening as she leans into Riko. "Why?" She doesn't need years of data collecting to know that Riko enjoys being eaten out, the way her legs squeeze against Satsuki's head when Satsuki is feeling particularly ambitious with her tongue. Satsuki smiles when Riko doesn't push her away and sets a hand in Satsuki's pink locks instead. "You can always take a break from coaching Seirin," Satsuki suggests. "The kids will be fine without you."

They both know she's right. It's been years since Riko graduated, and Seirin's facilities and resources have grown since winning the winter cup during high school, back when Riko thought Satsuki was taunting her instead of flirting with her. Sometimes Satsuki is amazed that they ended up at the same university, years later.

Still, it had been slightly easier for Momoi to stop herself from going back to Toou, now that Daiki was going pro and her boys are no longer participating in basketball induced pissing contests. Well, most of them, Momoi thinks. Still, she understands Riko’s restlessness—the urge to plan drills and to bring the best out of her athletes. Satsuki understands that part of Riko more than anyone else does.

“What would I even do with all that free time?” Riko asks eventually, curling her fingers at the base of Satsuki’s neck.

Satsuki mouths at Riko’s jaws and says, “Well, for starters, you could do me.” She’s expecting it when Riko yelps and jerks away, but that doesn’t stop Satsuki from admiring the red of Riko’s cheeks.

“Foul!” Riko decides, feigning annoyance. “This is your second foul today!”

“You didn’t even announce my first one.” Satsuki pouts.

Riko huffs and crosses her arms. “You know what you did. And anyways, where did you even learn to talk like that?”

“I learned a thing or two from managing Toou.” Satsuki flips strands of hair behind her back and shrugs. “And Teiko.”

“Gross!” Riko shouts, burying her face in her hands.

“Would you like me to tell you about them?” Satsuki asks, so close now that she’s almost sitting in Riko’s lap.

Riko turns bright red but doesn’t move away. She sets her hands on the small of Satsuki’s back. “I’d rather spend that time kissing you instead.”

“Okay,” Satsuki laughs, closing the distance. “We can make that happen.”

minor mentions of: blood, death & stabbing | 941 words

--

The summer heat has his school shirt sticking to him, even with the low hum and blasts of air that come periodically from the fan Kunimi has perched in the corner of his room. Usually they meet up after volleyball practice, and loose cotton doesn't stick as much as the starched fabric of his shirt, but today they're here to study, not to watch a movie or eat Kunimi's mother's cooking.

And they needed it, for the most part. Between the three of them, the only one with good grades is Kunimi. Even though Kindaichi is passing everything, his grades aren't anything to write home about, and then there's Kageyama, who is in a league of his own when it comes to just scraping by academically.

He stares at the page, willing the symbols to form themselves into shape, into something his brain can make sense of, but between the heat, the low hum from the fan, the slow tap, tap of Kindaichi's pencil against his page as he reads–

"You're not paying attention." Kunimi's voice shakes him out of his thoughts, drags him into the present. Kageyama starts up from the page he hasn't really been reading to Kunimi's face, his expression hanging somewhere between boredom and exasperation, then stares down the length of the pen pressed against his chest suddenly.

Kageyama chews at his lips with his teeth, pulling away enough skin that he can taste metal, casts his gaze away from Kunimi's with a pout.

"I still don't understand why we have to learn about this stuff," he says, folding his arms across his chest and huffing a sigh, "we're Japanese, why do we need to know greek history?"

"We're learning about the romans," Kindaichi chirps from the other side of the table, still tapping his pen against his page. He's smiling now though, and if Kageyama looks right, he can almost see the fondness behind the smug smirk.

"We're learning about Julius Caesar," Kunimi clarifies finally, removing his pen from where the nib was pressing against Kageyama's sternum. He glances down at the spot of red ink that has formed there against the crisp white and goes back to chewing his lip.

"He was a roman emperor who was stabbed to death by his council. Even his closest friend, Brutus. That's why these were his last words." Kunimi punctuates his words by jabbing at the book in front of him with his finger, entirely out of rhythm with Kindaichi's tapping.

Kindaichi snickers softly, finding something funny in either the misfortune of roman emperors or in Kageyama's inability to concentrate, and Kageyama frowns again, listens to the whirr of the fan to drown out Kunimi's explanation.

"It just goes to show that tyrant rulers get what they deserve."

Kunimi closes his book.

--

When they sleep over at Kindaichi's house two days later, it's even warmer.

They're three in a bed made for two at most, covers tangled around their legs to keep them all from sweating, but Kageyama isn't thinking much about the heat, even though his fringe is plastered to his forehead and his hands are sticky. Kindaichi is a little too tall, even for his own bed, and his ankles keep knocking Kageyama's every time he tosses and turns, flips his pillow to the cold side to try and find any relief from the heat. On his right Kunimi is still and silent, already breathing evenly and softly.

But Kageyama isn't thinking about that; hasn't been thinking about anything but an emperor's last words for two days straight now, can't help but think that emperor and king are words too close together for comfort, and even though he's just a kid playing volleyball, he has his council all the same.

And every so often he can see them sharpening their knives.

Kindaichi's ankles bump against his again and he exhales, turning his head untill he's face to face with Kindaichi's wide eyes, looking almost eerie in the dark.

"Can't sleep?" he doesn't whisper, knows Kunimi won't wake up unless there's a fire or something, and even then–

"No," Kageyama answers, keeps his gaze fixed somewhere between Kindaichi's face and a point on the far wall.

"Are you too warm? I can go and ask if I can bring the floor fan in here or something."

"It's not that."

Kindaichi frowns, Kageyama can just about make it out in the gloom.

"I've been thinking about Julius Caesar some more."

There's silence, then– "Well at least that means you were finally paying attention to what Kunimi was teaching you."

Kageyama grunts, turns his face away, rubs at an errant bead of sweat as it forms on his forehead.

"Kageyama, no one's going to stab you to death, if that's what you're thinking."

Kageyama grunts again, swallows around the lump in his throat.

And wonders if Brutus had ever had the gall to say the same.

--

It's their last middle school tournament, the quarter final match, and they're losing.

They're down by three points in the third set, and Kageyama's throat is so tight it feels like he might choke.

His newest nickname, the one he'd first heard weeks ago whispered in the changing rooms after everyone had thought he'd already left, is on his team's lips easy and often now; and every time he hears King of the Court he feels another knife find its mark.

And thinks, maybe he's just a kid on a volleyball team, but he could very well bleed out on this court without anyone noticing.

And thinks, without much meaning to, of dead emperors and their last words.

Et tu Brute?

BROS BEING FRIENDS!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAH YAS BEAUTIFUL

this is so good! The detached narrator, leaving things open for speculation, how Kiyoko is portrayed, and she's so strong and I love her and she really embodies the quote. And then Saeko, Saeko coming back to the ruins of her people after a long hard fought war and she's still smirking and she's still got her jokes and Kiyoko is happy for the first time in a long time and she doesn't care about the scandalized people. gosh I'm just so in love. thank you.

Iwaizumi/Oikawa (haikyuu)

There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean

omg I'm glad you liked it but yeah UGH. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THEsE TWO
