830 Words (Hajime is so OOC I'm so ashamed)

“Where were you last night?” The detective asked. His hair seemed too long, it kept falling in his face, and casting shadows in the harsh light of the interrogation room.

“Shouldn’t you know that since I’m the one in cuffs?” Hajime asked, and he lifted his bound hands and shook them slightly. The chain that connected the cuffs to the table rattled, emphasizing his point. The detective ignored his joke.

“We have evidence that puts you at the sign of the robbery.” A man standing near the shadows by the door handed him a folder and he set it on the table, surprisingly gently. “That is why you’re in cuffs, Iwaizumi-san.”

“I’m guessing the evidence is in that folder.”

“Yes, it is.”

“Can I see it?”

“No, you can’t.”

Hajime sighed and rolled his eyes. “Okay, so I’m supposed to defend myself, right? And how am I supposed to do that if you won’t tell me what I’m defending from?”

“You’re supposed to be telling the truth.” The detective sat down in the chair across from him, the metal scraping against the concrete floor, and when he leaned forward Hajime could see the name on his badge.

“Detective Imaizumi, huh? We make quite a pair. What would happen if a secretary mixed up our names. Would I get to put you in cuffs?” That got the rise he was expecting. God, this detective was easy to read, and if the blush on his cheeks said anything, he was more than a little kinky.

“Iwaizumi-san, please just answer my question. Where were you last night?”

“At home, in bed, of course.”

“Alone?”

“Shockingly, yes.” The blush was back, just for a second, and the Detective sat straighter in his chair.

“Is there anyone who can corroborate your alibi?”

“I suppose the doorman to my building, he saw me come in around nine.”

The detective turned, beckoning over a man from the shadows and said something quietly in his ear. After a few seconds of conversation he turned back and flipped through the file on the table. From what Hajime could see it was text, no photos, not even anything interesting.

“The doorman to your building can’t be reached for a statement. No one’s seen him since last night.”

“Oh, that’s horrible.” Hajime struggled to keep the smile off his face. He didn’t relish the necessity to eliminate the man, it was a job, and he’d seen too much, but egging on the detective proved too tempting an offer.

“Anyone else?” Imaizumi closed the folder and crossed his hands on the table. They looked nice, nimble.

“Anyone else, what?” He acted more distracted than he was, and he was sure the detective fell for it when his gaze dropped from Hajime’s eyes to his lips.

“Anyone else who saw you last night, before you went home alone, that is.”

“Oh,” Hajime considered the question, or least pretended to. “What time is it?”

Imaizumi turned and glanced at one of the men behind him, who then spoke.

“Five ‘til eight.” Oh, it’s a woman, he realized.

“Thanks.”

Hajime moved, kicking the chair out from behind him and crawling under the table the best he could with his hands cuffed to the top. The wall exploded inward and then he heard nothing. There was a pain in his head and his hands where rubble was falling. The smoke cleared and someone knelt next to him and unhooked the handcuffs. The man offered his hand and he could just hear the voice over the loud ringing in his ears.

“Come on, Iwa-chan, let’s go!”

“Hang on, I gotta check something.” He knew he was yelling, but he couldn’t help it. He stood up fully and looked around the room. It wasn’t pretty, and one of the officers by the door, a man, not the woman, looked most certainly like he was dead, as half his skull was crushed by a cinderblock. Detective Imaizumi had fared better, and while he was bloody and bruised, he was breathing.

Hajime found the folder, now nothing but dirty scattered papers and held his hand out to Oikawa. He handed him a pen.

He scrawled a note, as neatly as he could with his injured hand and stuffed it in Imaizumi’s breast pocket.

______

When Imaizumi woke he couldn’t hear anything but ringing and screaming. The wall was demolished, and the suspect was gone. When the paramedics came, it had clearly been too late to save Manami, Kanzaki and him were taken to the hospital.

It was three days before he saw the note, with his personal effects in the bag from the hospital.

”Nice to meet you, Detective, shitty circumstances, but what can you do? If you’d like to talk more about the merits of handcuffs, give me a call."

It was unsigned, but the number was written at the bottom. He had no question who it was from.

Oh no, oh no. Right through the heart. That tangle of them on a too small bed, and them falling apart; Kageyama slowly losing them and he doesn't know how to fix it. I love this, but it hurts me in the best way ;A;

no major content warnings; 432 words. i tried my best but how to write?? comedy??

—

It had begun as a (rather serious, Daichi wants to argue) meeting of captains at the training camp. The breadth of their teams was amazing, really—two good Tokyo teams and the rest of them top schools in the countryside. While the third years had acclimated to each other quite quickly, Futakuchi was the youngest of them all and while impressive, was also quite a bit of a headache. Just not as much as Bokuto.

“From now on, we should use code names!” Bokuto suddenly pipes up. “We can’t really talk properly about stuff like this if our teammates are around to hear, and we can’t always gather like this.”

Daichi, Kuroo, and Futakuchi make a face; Oikawa stifles a laugh behind his hand; and Ushijima stays silent.

“You—You can address me as Avian One. Oikawa, code name, Former Pretty Boy—” Oikawa lets out a noise of protest before Bokuto continues, “—Futakuchi is Current Pretty Boy. Kuroo is Only Eight Lives Left. Ushijima, code name—If I Had To Pick a Cow. Daichi is Avian Two.”

“Thank god,” Daichi releases a breath in relief.

Futakuchi shoots Oikawa a winning smirk in the background while Oikawa narrows his eyes at him. Ushijima, looking absolutely lost in this entire scenario, merely blinks and raises a brow. Kuroo places his face in his hands and looks as if he’s in prayer until he suddenly raises his head. It makes Daichi curious; is Kuroo going to say something worth some semblance of wisdom?

“Bokuto,” Kuroo starts, his voice losing its usual playfulness. This is some of the most serious any of them have seen him be and all their breaths hitch. Everybody’s eyes are on him now. “…those code names are way too long and obvious.”

Daichi, with a silent prayer to whatever divine force exists up in the heavens, wonders where he’s gone wrong.

“I thought owls were supposed to be intelligent,” Futakuchi says before wrinkling his nose. “I have no problem with my code name personally, but they are mouthfuls to say.”

“I have a problem with mine!” Oikawa whines from the back, having stayed quiet for what they considered a good amount of time. “I’m still a pretty boy, though. My fans still attend my matches and Kenji-chan doesn’t even have fans!”

That starts a petty argument between Oikawa and Futakuchi about who was more handsome, which escalated to who was more attractive overall. Ushijima makes things worse by adding that Oikawa would’ve “perhaps been better had he gone to Shiratorizawa.”

This chaos ends forty minutes later, and Daichi’s never been happier to go to bed.

Ahh, I love the visuals in this!! And you say ambiguous, but the casualness of their touches really appeals to me; the subtlety of their relationships works well, here. And dapper villain Kinjou.... thank you. THANK YOU.
