"We could tell people." They've had a hundred conversations like this before but this is a new topic. They talk like this with Tadashi curled up under Oikawa's chin, his DS in hand, tapping away and Oikawa pretending that he's still reading his textbook by turning the page.

A tiny laugh bubbles out of Tadashi's throat before he can think of what message that sends. "That's not really... why would you want to, Oikawa-kun?" Tadashi still has to regularly stop himself from reverting right back to Oikawa-san.

"Iwa-chan knows, and your Tsukki," Oikawa says as Tadashi's character takes damage in his game and his cringe serves a double purpose, they've been dating for over a year and he still doesn't like Oikawa calling Tsukki Tsukki, it's just not right. Oikawa barely knows Tsukki and he doesn't even like him. "Would it make a difference if other people did?"

Tadashi fixes back on his game, chewing on his lip and trying not to fidget, he's lying on top of Oikawa, and he's observant when they're apart, he'd give himself away completely if he did. "That's different, they're our best friends, and, I think if we even killed someone, all they'd ask is if we need help hiding the body."

"I want to tell my parents." Oikawa's words startle a snort out of Tadashi.

"Sorry," he laughs. "I didn't realise you were joking." Because that's definitely an Oikawa joke. He can't be serious when Oikawa's parents still set him up on dates with pretty, little girls from families with money, who smile and simper and Oikawa likes but doesn't like. With how Oikawa's ended up either in Tadashi's futon - "He's just a friend from volleyball who needs a place to stay for a few days! Yeah, he is kind of attractive, huh..." - or Iwaizumi's bed - "But, um, really, if there's something going on between you and Iwaizumi-san, that's fine! He's- he's really nice, and I know you've known each other for a long time so..." - because he spoke up about not wanting to get married or anything else that his parents have planned for him. When they first started going out, Tadashi worried about the girls, worried that Oikawa wasn't really into boys and that he was just acting out - he worried that about himself for a while - but talking to Iwaizumi about it, Oikawa doesn't like sabotaging his relationships and he has with every girl he's been with even if he likes the attention. "Never seen him be into anyone as much as he's into you."

"I am serious, Yama-chan." Oikawa's set his book down and raises his hand to pat Tadashi's hair. Tadashi feels like he should purr in response he shakes his head and Oikawa withdraws his hand, settles it onto the small of Tadashi's back instead.

"No, you're not. We can't tell your parents, they hate me." Oikawa says they don't, but he knows they do - the way they frown when Oikawa shuffles him up to his room and they never invite him to dinner, only reluctantly admit that there's leftovers when it's ten pm and Oikawa won't let him get on his bike to go home.

"We could tell your parents."

Tadashi's face flushes pink and he realises he hasn't touched his game in minutes, he hits a button at random and moves on to the next room. "I don't think they'd care, you know what they're like."

Oikawa hums, which means he does.

"Why do you want to tell anyone?" Tadashi asks, curious.

"Oh I don't, not really. I just wanted to know what reasons you would come up with not to."

Tadashi hesitates, glances at Oikawa. He's picked up his book again and he's wearing one of his expressions that remind Tadashi of Tsukki, but they always mean something slightly different on Oikawa, so he can't trust himself to take more than a guess. "Are you scared, Oikawa-kun?" Oikawa's eyes snap from the page to him and his mouth pulls into a smile that isn't really a smile.

"What's to be afraid of, Yama-chan?"

Tadashi hesitates. "Nothing, I suppose..." he says and trails off. He can think of a hundred things. Getting cut off from his parents, Tadashi's parents hating him, or getting rejected by a hundred more people. A highly noted talent Tadashi possesses is his ability to see the worst that can happen, but right now none of the things he's coming up with feel that bad, something about the warmth of Oikawa's chest as it rises and falls under his weight, as regular as a metronome stops him from caring. "But you don't want to?"

"This is between us, isn't it?" he says and shuts his book again - didn't he only just open it? - and moves his fingers to tuck under the hem of Yamaguchi's shirt.

"Y-yeah. I mean, of course," Tadashi replies, trying to sound firm. Oikawa's trying to distract him with those touches and he hates when he does this, he's so good at starting these conversations and then making Tadashi forget all about them ten minutes later. "I could tell people, if you wanted to." Oikawa's fingers slip up higher on his hip and it's a mix between pleasant and ticklish that makes his breath hitch. "Tsukki already knows so I-" Oikawa's fingers climb higher and Yamaguchi has to draw back and away to keep his train of thought. "I don't have anyone else important to tell, but we could."

He tries to read Oikawa's expression but between Oikawa's thumb reaching one of his nipples and his other hand using the new space to go for the button on his jeans and Oikawa being Oikawa, it's impossible.

"But we won't, Yama-chan," he says and cuts of the reply Yamaguchi probably couldn't have made anyway with a kiss.

IM CRYING

Kageyama Tobio/Sugawara Koushi (Haikyuu!!)

"I lost my way, I forgot to call on your name. The raw
heart beat against the world, and the tears were for my
lost victory. But you are here. You have always been
here. The world is all forgetting, and the heart is a rage
of directions, but your name unifies the heart, and the
world is lifted into its place. Blessed is the one who
waits in the traveller's heart for his turning."

All of the rumours keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said
That they were completely unfounded

i have Ascended

Thanks so much!

I like to think of the third years as being this really close unit, especially after reading the chapter about them as first years. Like...they've pretty much been the driving force of the team since then, in my opinion. Sure they listened to their senpais and stuff, but behind the scenes they were setting up for something bigger.

Also yas Nurse Suga. I kind of sort of set this is my "main" headcanon universe, but tried not to get too into it since I'd have to use xim/xir pronouns for Suga, but it's p much canon for me that Suga becomes a nurse and Daichi goes to a teacher's college.

Asahi becomes a hairdresser.

OMFG MUSHU AOYAGI THIS IS ADORABLE WTF

OMFG SOUSUKE. This is absolutely adorable, thank you Kran ;__; i especially love how you made it some diary log HAHA

OHHH... THIS IS... SO CUTE... I'M CLUTCHING MY CHEST-

What Onoda decided to do with his free time was not something Imaizumi ever understood, or expected to understand, so he hadn't asked any questions when he'd walked into the clubhouse to find their climber humming the latest opening of Love Hime (better than the second opening, but not as good as the first) and doodling with markers on a giant sheet of paper. Some days, he built model robots. Some days he assembled linked chains of gachapon charms to hang from the lockers. Today he was drawing. That didn't seem so bad.

"Hey," he called out on his way to his locker.

"Ah! Imaizumi-kun! I'm almost done with the introduction chart for the new freshmen!"

"Introduction chart?"

His teammate radiated a glow so bright, Imaizumi nearly had to shield his eyes. "Yeah! So we can prepare them to fight alongside us in the next Interhigh! Whether they survive the grueling training to make it into the race," he said, striking a battle pose, "or they need to know to provide proper commentary to onlookers from the side of the road! Knowing every teams members and skills and personal relationships is key!"

So he was working on something like that? He walked over to examine everything Onoda had done so far. The twenty top ranked teams were all laid out as color-coded bubbles with the members pictures sketched inside, every picture labeled with a name and a skill, every school with a short catchphrase that encapsulated how they rode. All of their graduated former teammates were on there, too, sorted by college (or if they weren't in college, in the margin by their former high school). This actually looked... useful?

"How long have you been working on this?"

"I stayed up late the past two nights! Do you like it?!" Onoda looked like he might cry with joy. Which was maybe overkill. But then again, this was Onoda. His only settings seemed to be 'on' and 'clueless'. "I based it on the character chart for this season's excellent addition to the Space Battalion franchise, Beta Renegade: Space Battalion Plus! I highly recommend it both for long time fans and new viewers, in case you wanted to catch up on the series. Until the Blu-Ray comes out, I've made DVR copies of the Gizmattron Vortex arc and--"

Feeling his head start to reel from unfamiliar words, Imaizumi concentrated on the usefulness of the chart Onoda had made. He hadn't even heard of the original Space Battalion anime, and he didn't have time in his schedule to add another series. Love Hime was enough. But such a complete chart of their own team history, with blank spots for the new recruits, could be an asset to their psychological training for the next race. There were even lines linking people for what looked like significant interpersonal relationships, with arrows for times when they were one sided. Based on the nexus of lines that centered on him, it was fairly clear what black meant, and pale green appeared to be close friendship. He was guessing that bright blue was rivalry, while the red ones... linking him and...

Wait a second. Some things were supposed to be private.

The clubhouse door shot open like a firecracker, with Naruko yelling, "Did you do it, did you do it, did you do it?" at the top of his lungs.

Imaizumi could hear how proud Onoda looked. "Yeah! It's right here, ready to go on the wall!"

"Yessssssssssssssss!!!"

"No," Imaizumi said, sticking out his arm to block Naruko from picking up the poster. "We're not doing this."

"Oh, but I worked so hard..."

"You heard him, Hot Shot! Are you gonna waste all of Sakamichi's effort on--"

"We are not plastering our-- that is, we're not plastering the entire league's love lives on the wall. I refuse. It's stupid."

Naruko bucked up in his face with a snarl. "It's awesome!"

"Stupid."

"Awesome!!"

"Stupid!"

Onoda tried to sneak the paper off the table, but both of them slammed their hands down to keep it in place. "We're not done," they yelled together.

"Not done with what?" Teshima called from the door. Aoyagi was at his side as always, looking confused and vaguely concerned by the commotion.

He and Naruko closed ranks by the table, shoulder to shoulder to block any view of the poster, chorusing, "Nothing!" for the seniors. Onoda moved faster, though. Whisking his masterpiece off the table, he took it over to explain every single element in proud, loving detail while their new captain and vice captain nodded in serious contemplation.

After a moment of silence, while Imaizumi waited for someone to explain that their private lives weren't appropriate for public display, Teshima-sempai looked over his shoulder at Aoyagi-sempai, whose mouth twitched just a little. There could be hope yet!

"Hajime's right. We need to mark down mentors, too. Those are important."

"That's true!" Onoda answered, nodding with his chin in his hands. "I'll make it purple! For Kinjou-san! I'll have to use a paint marker so it doesn't turn brown over Sohoku's yellow shading, but I have those at home. I had to use one for the green anyway because it's so light--"

Teshima-sempai carried the chart across the room. "There's a space on the wall over here."

Naruko was doing a little victory dance, and cackling. Onoda looked like he was in heaven. Which was fine, but still... Pinching himself on the arm, Imaizumi hoped he'd wake up and find out this was all a bad dream.

Nope.

Unbelievable.
