Summary
His mother doesn’t get it ― his father doesn’t, either, but he’s less vocal about it than she is. His friends, teachers, colleagues; even Mika, for all she’s tried, never quite grasped the importance it held to him. Daishou thinks it’s justifiable, then, that this is what undoes him: Kuroo, who’s loud and brash and the breathing source for at least half Daishou’s problems, never calls him sweetheart.
Daishou has a very complex (and complicated) relationship with petnames.

Summary
Legend has it that a soul can take the form of a butterfly. Legend has it that everyone has a soulmate. Legend has it that having a soulmate means you'll be loved.
Iwaizumi is pretty sure that all those legends are full of shit. Some people never meet their soulmate. Some soulbonds are born broken and others are built up to break. Sometimes a butterfly is just a stupid butterfly.
(Or, Oikawa is Iwaizumi's soulmate. Iwaizumi is not his. Hanamaki and Matsukawa are soulmates. Neither know what to do about it. They're all making it much more complicated than it needs to be.)

Summary
She and Suguru have been dating since they were seventeen. It’s strange, really, because she loves him, but she’s also not as mad as she should be while she watches Kuroo watch Suguru. She’s not as upset as she should be when she sees Suguru look back at him.
In which Kuroo pines, Suguru refuses to acknowledge it, and Mika meddles in places she isn’t quite sure she has the right to meddle. It's not a picture perfect love, but it is theirs.

Summary
“Can’t wait to get rid of me?” Oikawa jokes, and he might be a little desperate since he’s not letting go. “Whatever will you do without me, Iwa-chan?”
Iwaizumi laughs again, this time incredulous. Oikawa will keep looking for this laugh, he realizes. If this was a movie, they’re unbearably close to the credits.
“I’ll just miss you,” Iwaizumi says. “That’s all.”–

Summary
The point was, thinking about it with Oomimi and Akagi staring at him, Aran’s not really sure he has an excuse. It wasn’t slow, it wasn’t natural, it was actually pretty sudden and jarring. It had taken forever to get used to it, he wasn’t even sure if he was used to it now, actually. Or if he’d just gotten really good at shoving down any reaction he might’ve had before. He knows the exact day it had happened, and exactly what caused it.
But then how had it gotten this far?Bookmarked by bashingbeans

Summary
“No, I mean we really weren’t doing anything,” Oikawa whips around, “I haven’t even kissed her yet.”
Iwaizumi pushes the locker shut and looks down at his t-shirt, picking at a loose string dangling from the hem. If he tugs too hard, it’ll just ruin the stitching, so he decides to leave it alone. Right now he might rip the damn thing off.
“And I said it doesn’t matter. Why are you talkative all of the sudden?”
“Someone sounds annoyed,” Oikawa mumbles.
“No, I just…” Iwaizumi bites the inside of his cheek. Why is he annoyed? That Oikawa is talking about his girlfriend? That he saw them under the stairwell looking both guilty and flustered? That he might not know everything about his childhood best friend?
He can’t say yes to any of those questions. He can’t quite say no, either.

Summary
He takes a step closer to Iwaizumi and says, “You’re going to have to pry this gym away from my cold, dead hands if you really want it, Iwa-chan.”
Iwaizumi leans in and grins without any humor. “Bring it on, pretty boy.”
Or, five-ish times that Oikawa Tooru has the grave misfortune of encountering the very annoying hot asshole of a baseball captain.

Summary
“Ushijima,” Oikawa said under his breath. “What the fuck, Ushijima.”
“You are being weird, Oikawa. Are you alright?” he turned his head, locking eyes with him. There was genuine concern there, and Oikawa felt his heart stutter.
“Stop talking before I do something stupid,” Oikawa said unthinkingly.
“Like what?” Ushijima prompted, endlessly earnest and patient.
“Ugh,” Oikawa groaned, and let his stupid, idiot heart decide for him. “You’re so-”
