    Summary

    Ushijima gets overwhelmed after a very long day's practice with another school, dragged to the end of his social tether. He fidgets with his favourite volleyball keychain until it breaks in the locker room. Tendou notices what's happened before anyone else and takes immediate action: this is that action.

    Or: the one in which Tendou takes care of a very upset Ushijima.

    -----

    Tendou glances at him, checking him over quickly before looking away, deciding to focus on Semi’s pink star-shaped glasses on the far bench. Ushijima’s head had been tilted towards his chest, mouth actively chewing on the side of his hand as he rocked. His other hand had made its way into his hair now, switching between clutching it and tugging almost desperately.

    He didn’t need Tendou to ask him if he was okay. He knew he wasn’t.

    Summary

    From Friday night (hair smelling experiment), to Saturday (movie = zero plot absorbed, one setter stared at), to Sunday (peer-review survey, parental consultation, full-blown crisis)… Bokuto Koutarou has spent 50 hours and 39 minutes scientifically proving that Akaashi is amazing.
    Unfortunately, everyone else already knew. Except Bokuto.

    Summary

    Wakatoshi vowed he’d never fall in love again after middle school—after the fists, the mockery, the shame. He built walls of control, silence, and cold detachment. Then Tendou happened: loud, unfiltered, unafraid. Wakatoshi tries to keep his distance. Tries to pretend he doesn’t care. But Tendou keeps showing up. With movie nights. With relentless kindness. With eyes that say, “I see you—and you’re still worth loving.”

    This is the story of how love scares him more than violence ever did, and how it might just save him anyway.
