IM FCUKING CRYING
SO IS THE REST OF TEAM USHIOI

[GENTLY SCREAMS]

There's something about the flow of your writing and this piece that I really like. Maybe it's those single one-liners, but there is some poetic force behind it. It's really beautiful, oh wow, thank you so much for this fill! <3

"It seems inviting.

When Rin jumps again, Haru wants to follow him."

I really like this part in particular, it's as if a light is cracking through the shell and barriers Haru put up. That his drive and love for swimming was never lost, but instead was inside him all along - just dimmed - and all he needed waas help lighting that (youthful) flame again. :B hehe, thank you once again for this lovely fill!

OH NO

FCUK IM CRYING

No major content warnings, 1203 words

“What do you think of me, Aone-san?” They’ve really only just met. It’s the first day of middle school and a rather stoic Aone Takanobu is startled out of his reverie. He’s exchanged only names with the boy beside him out of necessity and out of nervousness - he knows that his face always looks angry and he also knows that no one sits next to him on the train.

Aone shrugs. Futakuchi Kenji grins, “we’ll get along just fine, Aone Takanobu-san.” Aone kind of wishes this boy who he does not yet know will become his best friend and one day the boy he loves who loves him back would stop calling him by his full name.

Futakuchi doesn’t kick the habit until well past Christmas.

And thus begins their extremely weird friendship. Aone Takanobu hardly talks and Futakuchi Kenji can’t seem to stop. This suits them just fine - they have a mutual affection for small kittens and anime. They also join their middle school volleyball team together despite not knowing a thing about volleyball. The first day in, Futakuchi bursts out laughing - Aone is hilariously tiny in comparison to both their senpai and Futakuchi himself.

But even the team captain can see Aone’s potential - solid core, a quiet work ethic, and a figure that will definitely fill out and surprise everyone.

It’s summer break and the boys are splayed out in the middle of Futakuchi’s backyard. Futakuchi’s complaining about how suddenly Aone grew five inches ‘literally overnight.’

They become silent, the only sound interrupting the quiet is Futakuchi violently biting into a popsicle. “What do you think of me, Aone?”

Aone shrugs. He isn’t sure if Futakuchi even saw it, but he assumes that his friend does. He quietly gets up and Futakuchi seamlessly starts talking again as he follows Aone onto the main sidewalk. The quiet boy leads the way to a candy store and Futakuchi stares, stunned to silence for once.

Futakuchi sticks to Aone as the boy bypasses the lollipops and jawbreakers, ignoring the chocolate bars and cotton candy. He reaches for a plastic bag and starts digging around in a rather full bin. His face scrunches up when he’s forced to bend down a little. This used to be right at shoulder height.

Futakuchi watches silently as his best friend fills the bag and pays for it. They head outside and Futakuchi’s questions go a mile a minute. But he stops talking when Aone sticks the bag under Futakuchi’s nose.

“What’s this?”

“Sour gummies.” Aone grunts, which sounds more like a baby lion trying to roar.

“What for?”

“You.”

“Why?” Aone shrugs.

“I like you. And you’re sad about..” Aone trails off, vaguely gesturing to his new height.

“I’m not sad.” Even so, Futakuchi pouts, but he takes the plastic bag anyway. “This can’t be good for you.”

Aone shrugs again. Futakuchi takes one and pops it in his mouth.

Three years down the road when they’re heading to one of Futakuchi’s many dental appointments, Aone remembers this day and he wishes he had never introduced Futakuchi Kenji to those damned sour gummies.

In their last year in middle school, both boys go through an insane growth spurt. Aone even moreso.

“Why. Are. You. So. Tall.” Each word is punctuated by Futakuchi bumping his head between Aone’s shoulder blades - yes, Aone has become that tall.

Aone shrugs - this action has become a staple in their relationship. Futakuchi wraps his arms around Aone’s waist. This too has become a staple action in their relationship.

“Grow back down!” Futakuchi whines. “Where did my cute, tiny Aone go?” None of this garners strange looks from their classmates or the volleyball team captain who is also in their class. This is normal for these two.

Aone shrugs again. “Stop shrugging.” Futakuchi further buries his head into Aone’s back.

“Don’t fall asleep.” Aone’s voice vibrates through his whole body. Along with the growth spurt, Aone’s voice had deepened and even more space is put between him and strangers on the train from his even more somber resting face. This is fine, though. This gives Futakuchi more space on the train and more chance to monopolize Aone Takanobu’s time.

“You can’t make me.” Aone sighs, but says nothing else, returning to his bento.

Futakuchi is quiet for a while and Aone would have assumed that the boy really had fallen asleep if not for the still strong grip around his waist. “What do you think of me, Aone?”

He shrugs. Aone figures he should give Futakuchi a real answer someday, but this has become his default.

They write the same high school entrance exams and enter the same high school. People aren’t yet used to Aone and are even less used to Futakuchi’s antics and how familiar he is with the brow-less giant. It takes six months for the stares and the whispers to subside.

But such is the effect of Futakuchi Kenji - he, in his abrasive and loud manner, helps everyone relax and change their minds about Aone Takanobu. For this, Aone is eternally grateful.

But still, no one but Futakuchi sits next to him on the train.

It’s snowing and nearly Christmas of their first year in high school when Futakuchi tugs Aone’s hand just as they’re about to step onto school grounds. “What do you think of me, Takanobu?”

For a second, Aone opens his mouth, but in the end he opts to shrug. Futakuchi smiles.

Datekou is a strong school and they are honoured to be a part of a volleyball team with such a legacy. Both of their heights are daunting, taller than some of the second years even. But they still work just as hard to earn their spots as starters and neither can imagine doing this without the other by their side.

Their second year in high school is a rough one as they assume the roles their senpai had left for them. It’s late in the evening and they’re locking up the gym when Futakuchi turns to Aone. “What do you think of me, Takanobu?”

Aone drops his arms to his sides. He’s thought about this for a while, spending late nights forming and reforming the words he’d say the next time Futakuchi asks him this. But his long nights of preparation fail him now and he can’t bring to mind anything that he’d thought of. Futakuchi just sighs and is about to leave when Aone gently grasps his elbow.

Aone presses his lips to Futakuchi’s and that’s answer enough.

In their third and final year, they make it to third in the nation, ending their volleyball careers on a high note. Their graduation ceremony just ended and Aone and Futakuchi branch off from their loud, elated classmates.

Futakuchi takes hold of Aone’s hands. They’re large and warm as they encompass his. “What do you think of me, Taka?”

“.....Weird.” Aone blushes. It’s the first answer he’s ever given, but it’s accurate. “In a good way.”

Futakuchi bursts out laughing before throwing his arms around Aone’s neck. “Good. Just what I’ve been aiming for!”

‘Weird in a good way’ is Aone’s way of telling Futakuchi ‘I love you’.

Hajime doesn't look at him during the depositions.

"Happy new year," Tooru says, by way of hello, and his lawyer coughs mildly. Hajime stares at a point above Tooru's ear and pretends not to hear him. "My mom says she misses you."

He flinches at that. Good. Tooru settles down and waits for the deposition stenographer to come back with her little glass of water. He adjusts his tie. Hajime is wearing a sweatshirt that Tooru would rather burn than ever see on him again--the same athletic gray with the deep pockets that Hajime likes, indistinguishable from the myriad others he buys in bulk, religiously. It's like someone transplanted his image from the person Tooru knows likes to sprawl out on the couch, playing video games until the early morning.

The stenographer comes back and settles down in her seat, like a bird ruffling its feathers before nesting. Tooru runs a hand through his hair while Hajime, imperceptibly, straightens his shoulders. They are, after all, here for a reason.

It's not like he doesn't understand. In a strange, sick way, Tooru does--he is, after all, similar to Hajime than not. They're bullheaded and likely to devote 100% of themselves to a worthy project when they see one. Hajime is wearing his zip-up hoodie for a reason. It pisses him off: that was their thing, it was them versus the world, with Tooru's skills and Hajime's connections. He itches to code, to work, and balls his hands into fists before forcing himself to relax.

"You're suggesting that I was jealous of him?" Tooru keeps his voice light. Hajime is personable, brash, weirdly charismatic, and short. Tooru has nothing to be envious of--Hajime brushes his teeth before drinking coffee. "And because I was jealous, I formulated a plan to screw him out of my company?"

"The company," his lawyer murmurs under his breath, but Tooru will stand by his words--he is nowhere near jealous of Hajime at all, and never will be. He can buy their old school and turn it into his personal garage.

"Iwa-chan," and the old nickname comes out intentionally, because Tooru will let Hajime forget that they've known each other since childhood the day he dies. "Is that really what you think?"

(The last time he looked at Tooru, really looked at him, was a month ago. Tooru's watched the security feeds--he can recite the exact timestamp and its correlated actions from the moment Hajime pushes his way through security and into the central bullpen. In a way, it's strange to see: it's his head that Hajime rips those headphones off of, his huge, surprised eyes staring up at him, his ears registering Hajime's words. Tell me this isn't about me getting into the Phoenix.)

Their lawyers, discomfited by the heavy silence between Tooru's comments and Hajime's stare, pick up the line of question again. "What was Oikawa-san's ownership share diluted down to?"

"It wasn't," Hajime says. He looks thin, like he hasn't been getting any sleep.

"What was Hanamaki Takahiro's ownership share diluted down to?"

"It wasn't," he repeats, and behind his deadpan words Tooru can still hear him shouting. How about now, are you still wired in?

"What was Matsukawa Issei's ownership share diluted down to?"

"It wasn't."

It wasn't even personal. Hajime signed the papers. He should have spent more time with the company. "What was your ownership share diluted down to?"

"0.03%." He can't breathe. Tooru watches Hajime studiously avoid his gaze. His lawyer looks satisfied at his response, as if he had already won--but Hajime was right, it was never about the money. Numbers only ever have one meaning.

(And I'll bet you didn't like that the press identifies me as a co-founder of this website. Which I am. He'd looked like he was aflame from the inside-out. You'd better lawyer up, asshole, because I'm not coming for my 30%.

Hajime probably would have laughed at the $19,000 stunt if it had happened to someone else--laughed, and then punched Tooru on the shoulder for it. He would have liked watching Mattsun break the chimney while trying to zip-line nose first into the pool, in the California sun. His name could be back on the masthead, at least, if he would just look at him.)

Tooru sends Hajime emails he doesn't read. He'd know if he did: Tooru scans in pictures of Hajime at five, six years old, with crayon marks around his nose; embellished stories of Hajime afraid of the dark the first time they'd watched Alien; Hajime’s first time getting drunk in college and throwing up in a total stranger’s flowerbed. He gets drunk--but remembers with perfect, sober clarity--and emails him brief snapshots of words, do you remember when you kissed me on the way home from class? Iwa-chan, you jerk, that was my first kiss. And I was yours.

The depositions are so tiring. Tooru could be doing so much in the office, right now, but instead he sits across a table from his childhood best friend so he can be sued for a cool billion dollars. He wonders how well Mattsun is doing right now, trying to keep a lid on little Yahaba’s messy code, if they remember as well as he does how angry Hajime had been that day. I'm coming for everything.

“Let’s wrap this up for the day. We’ll come back after a week.” Hajime’s lawyer rises first and moves across the room to to shake Tooru’s hand, then his lawyer’s. Tooru gives him the business shake, the one he’d practiced with Hajime in freshman year, and smiles brightly. Hajime leaves the room and doesn’t look back.
