Summary
A lot's been tangling up and around in his head recently. And when he dares to pull at a single weed—just trying to get a start at deconstructing the damn thing—the whole garden seems to follow; the roses tear into his skin with their thorns, the vines wrap around his throat like snakes. It's like how you can't just check out one worm: it's the whole can or bust.
He doesn't know where he's going with these metaphors.
In which Shouyou battles with his thoughts, Kageyama confesses his fears, and things end up alright (at least, for now).

Summary
Anyways, despite the universe’s active efforts to kill him via the termination of the passage of time, he’s made it this far, so he can’t die now. Kageyama returns in t-minus—his gaze flicks back up to the clock again—three hours and twenty three minutes, and Shouyou needs to have a beating heart and other functioning organs so that he can hug him when he arrives. And kiss him. And ... maybe do some other things.
In which Shouyou (im)patiently waits, and Kageyama finally comes home.

Summary
And, of course, Shouyou has taken those hands out of context many times: at least half of his fantasies have Kageyama’s hands playing a major role—on or in Shouyou in a variety of ways. But now he knows what Kageyama can actually do with those hands—very much in context, just for him. And if he thought that his insatiable bouts of lust leading to the daily or more wanking predicament a few weeks ago was bad, he should’ve considered the possibility that having sex with Kageyama would, in fact, worsen rather than alleviate his problem.
Because that is exactly what it’s done.
In which Shouyou's greatest fantasy finally becomes reality.

Summary
Shouyou blinks, still trying to process the past ten seconds of his life. Behind the shock, there is pride. Shouyou has been so focused on his next steps that he’d forgotten that Kageyama needed to take some, too, and it’s genuinely fantastic that he’s been recruited into one of the best teams in the League right out of high school.
But that feeling is just a drop in the ocean of disbelief—of sadness, of hurt. Of fear.
Why didn’t Kageyama tell him about this?
In which Kageyama signs with the Schweiden Adlers, and Shouyou (poorly) copes.
