Summary
Volleyball players are known for a lot of things.
Intense plays, long rallies, arm-breaking serves—those are just to name a few. But in Japan, the volleyball players (high school, college, and professionals alike) are infamous for something that no one really expected: their betting pool.
(or alternately, everyone finds out that one of the best spikers in Japan, Sakusa Kiyoomi, is dating someone and they try to figure out his identity while the person he’s dating remains clueless about it.)

Summary
“Do you even know what you’re doing?”
Atsumu doesn’t even look up. “Ya called me instead of a plumber, didn’t ya?”
“It was either that or wait three more days for maintenance.”
“And we both know how well you handle waitin’ on things you don’t like,” Atsumu says with a gleeful tone. “Ever the picture of patience, Omi-Omi.”
“I’m patient,” Kiyoomi responds dryly.
“Sure. And I’m a Nobel Prize winner in leaky faucet theory.”
“You already wanted to come over after your finals,” Kiyoomi states.
“Mm-hm. And here I was, thinking I was allowed to come over because I take ya so well, not ‘cause I’m the only one in the team groupchat who knows how to fix pipes.”

Summary
“I can’t tell if this is extremely weird or extremely sweet.” Komori hums, “I think it’s maybe kind of both.”
“It’s not weird,” Kiyoomi says sternly, “Fans do this all the time.”
“Yeah but you’re not ‘fans’,” Komori tilts his head to the side as he watches him, “You’re Sakusa Kiyoomi. You were on the cover of volleyball monthly. Every time you see Miya in person you pretend to forget his name but now you’re wearing his merch”
When an old photo resurfaces with damning evidence of his infatuation with a certain setter, Kiyoomi makes a new ally, creates a series of misunderstandings, traumatizes half the team, and still somehow gets the guy.

Summary
“You’re literally teammates with world-class athletes,” Osamu says. “Just pay one of them to pretend to date you for a night.”
Atsumu flops back against the couch in disappointment. Why does he go to Osamu for anything? Osamu’s always been the inferior brother. “That’s a stupid fucking idea,” he says. “Who would I even ask?”
--
“No,” Sakusa says.
“I haven’t even said anything yet!” Atsumu protests.- Language:

COMPLETED
Shout out to Jay on TikTok for the recommendation! Had me kicking my feet against the bed and giggling 🥰
Shout out to ash on Twitter/X for putting my story on blast! I never ever anticipated people would enjoy my story so much that they’d reread it. MULTIPLE TIMES 😭
—————————————————————“You think because you’re only attracted to women that only women will be attracted to you? For f**k’s sake, Miya, Bokuto practically drools all over you every time we meet up. There’s a reason for that. Anyone attracted to men is attracted to you. You think I want to torture myself with social hangouts with you when I know full well I’ll never be able to indulge my desires?”
There’s only a brief moment of silence as Atsumu drunkenly processes Kiyoomi’s words. Then, Atsumu sits back from the chabudai, spreading his arms across the seats of the couch as he stares at Kiyoomi with hooded, challenging eyes.
“Then indulge yerself, Omi-Omi.”

Summary
Kiyoomi isn't ashamed to admit that he's never dated anyone before.
The problem is that the question came from Miya Atsumu—Kiyoomi’s irritating adversary turned unexpected companion—who had just answered the same. As they argue over who's the better catch in front of the team, their conflict reaches its boiling point: Atsumu boldly claims that he'd be better at dating than Kiyoomi.
And Kiyoomi isn't backing down from that challenge without a fair fight.

Summary
And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”
Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”
“Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”
“No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”
“You’re not in love?”
He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”
For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…
Unfamiliar.
Unknowable.
Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.
“You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.
Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.

Of course, when it goes better than expected, Kiyoomi realizes that he doesn't want to stop pretending quite yet.
Neither of them do.- Language:

Summary
“Just fuckin’ write shit down so ya remember it then.”
It was probably supposed to be a joke, just Osamu being as annoying and unhelpful as always, just reminding him that he shouldn’t have bothered trying to count on his brother for help. He’s forgotten about the whole thing until a few days later when he’s shopping and comes across a small, black notebook shaped like a cat, and his brother’s stupid suggestion flashes through his mind. Before he knows it, the cute little notebook is dropped in his basket, purchased, and in his possession.
Or, the one where Osamu suggests Atsumu keep a notebook to track all the things Sakusa hates that he does, and he takes it further than he means to.

“Sakusa, after your latest panel, fans want to know: Are you a germaphobe?”
The whole team falls silent, unsure if that’s a safe topic to breach. He sees Meian raise a hand, ready to interrupt, but that would be even more mortifying. He hates being patronized. Just because he has a condition doesn’t mean he can’t function just as well, or even better, than others. It’s been a sticking point since childhood.
“Yes,” Kiyoomi answers bluntly. “But it’s just a symptom of my OCD.”
“Whoa, what?” For once, Atsumu is stumped.
--
This is the story of how two flawed people fall in love, and despite their rough edges, find their way to each other.

“Iwa-chaaan.”
Hajime hummed, half-heartedly batting at him. Tooru’s cheeks were flushed a pretty pink. He leaned into Hajime’s hand, just a bit, before shaking himself.
“Iwa-chan.” He said again, this time firm. “I wanna have your babies.”
Hajime choked.

Summary
Sakusa’s eyes are very dark naturally, sucking in all surrounding rays of light and crushing them in his pupils. For an athlete, he is rather pale. His lips look very pink in comparison. Atsumu is suddenly catastrophically aware that in this instance, ‘accent’ is a euphemism. “Good enough for your Olympic-size ego, Miya?”
(In which Atsumu realizes that he is attracted to Sakusa Kiyoomi in the most inconvenient way possible.)
Now with gorgeous gorgeous art by Quip/pseudoanalytics!

Summary
Andrew stares blankly down at Neil’s bare fourth finger. Then he looks up at Neil’s scarred face, his deep blue eyes that stand out even against the summer horizon of this godforsaken city, and he wonders yet again if he knows about the ring tucked away in the bottom drawer of the double vanity.
One more surprise, Abram. I think I want to marry you.
Andrew buys a ring. It takes a while before he makes any use of it.

A comfortable silence fell on them before Kiyoomi spoke. “You know, with the amount of effort you’re putting in for him speaks volumes, Keiji.”
Kenma gave a curt nod in agreement, trying to pick out anything else Akaashi changed. That was all he did, but Kiyoomi’s words struck a deep chord. He couldn’t deny that he was trying to look good for Bokuto because he wanted to. Not to get a quick lay, more so for the fact of wanting to try.
“Wouldn’t you do the same if you were in my position?”

“You Hollow Purple’d me,” Megumi accuses. “You aimed it right at me.”

“Do you ever feel like you’re falling behind?” Kaveh asked as he pulled his knees up to his chest.
Alhaitham tilted his head in confusion, “What do you mean?”
“When it comes to relationships and stuff.”
“Not really.”
“Well, I do,” Kaveh confessed. “Sometimes I feel like I’m running on a track and no matter how fast I run, everyone else is passing by me while I just keep falling behind…I mean, everyone else I’m friends with has gone on a date before and I have yet to even hold hands with someone romantically.”
Kaveh is a romantic who wants all of his "firsts" to be with someone special, but can never seem to find that person. Even though he knows that Kaveh will never see him as a romantic option, Alhaitham offers to be that special person every chance he gets.

“You've got an odd look on your face," Alhaitham observed.
"Do I? It's the same as ever."
Alhaitham snorted. "I think I would know that, considering that I know your face best in the world.”
“That’s ridiculous,” Kaveh said with a laugh- a slightly nervous laughter that only bore the faintest hint of his fluttering heart, “I would think I know my face best in the world.”
“Is that so,” Alhaitham asked smoothly, narrowing his eyes, “I still think I would be fierce competition, though.”Alhaitham is late for dinner for once, and something is a little different today.
