Summary
There’s a five second silence as Oikawa peers at Iwaizumi, hardly budging before he reaches into his wallet to procure a single bright red business card. He slides it across the table until it’s sitting there, glaringly bright, obnoxiously real, and staring Iwaizumi right in the eye.
THE GRAND CUPID
OIKAWA TOORU
CAMPUS MATCHMAKER“You’re kidding me,” says Iwaizumi, maybe to the skies, or to the birds flying free outside while he’s trapped in what he thinks might be his new personal hell. “Tell me you’re kidding, Shittykawa.”
OR
Oikawa tries to play matchmaker for Iwaizumi and fails. Spectacularly.

Summary
During training camp, the Aobajousai regulars come up with an even worthier goal than sharpening their volleyball skills: they vow to finally get their stubborn captain and vice captain to admit their feelings for each other.

Summary
Oikawa can't pretend he doesn't know what he's feeling. He's far too accustomed to jealousy for that. But there's no reason to feel such intense jealousy towards two guys he doesn't even know, that he just happened to catch kissing.
No reason he can accept.
In which a single confession letter unravels Oikawa's control over his life and forces him to realize he wants something besides friendship from Iwaizumi.

Summary
Iwaizumi lived in a world of silence.
Or rather, due to his profound hearing loss, the world was much quieter for him than it was for most other people. That may have seemed sad to some people, but Iwaizumi, at the ripe old age of seven, thought those people were stupid. Hearing was terrible. The moulds of his hearing aids always hurt his ears when he kept them in for too long, and when he did wear them, everything was so loud, from the clicking of keyboards on the computers at school, to the jumble of voices when everyone in a room seemed to be talking all at the same time.
Most days, Iwaizumi chose to forget his hearing aids, lose them at home, or simply refuse to wear them. At home, there was no need for them; his parents also had hearing loss, so they tended to communicate through sign language, though they did speak aloud and encouraged him to do the same to practice lip reading. Neither of them wore hearing aids. His parents got by just fine, and so would he.
He only wished the rest of the world could understand that.

Summary
Hinata's love language is touch, and Kageyama receives the brunt of this.
(Alternatively titled: Hinata is affectionate and clingy, and this doesn't help Kageyama, who is trying desperately hard not to fall any further for him as the years wear on, from high school to his professional career. Nothing works. He is suffering, and deeply in love.)

Summary
“What?” Bokuto asks. “Haven’t you ever kissed anyone?”
“No,” Kuroo mumbles, shrugging. He can’t help but feel a twinge of embarrassment, like he’s being judged, which is stupid because Bokuto couldn’t judge a goddamn fly, but. Still. It’s the principle of the thing, and the fact is, Kuroo’s never kissed anyone and Bokuto has, which makes Kuroo feel just a little lame.

Summary
Kuroo shoots Bokuto a lopsided grin and opens his arms for a hug. “Bring it in, Bo. C’mon man, give your best bud a smooch.”
Bokuto takes a breath. This is fine. Just a regular day, smooching the homies in the makeshift foley studio. Nothing gay about that.
Except that’s exactly the problem, isn’t it?

Summary
Oikawa shook the magic 8-ball with furious desperation. "Does Iwa-chan like me back?" he chanted at it as if he had done this many times before. He stared at the ball's window and waited for it to settle, holding his breath in painfully slow anticipation.

‘Okay,’ Yuuji says easily. ‘Then prove it.’
Takahiro blinks. ‘Excuse me?’
‘Prove it,’ he repeats. He lifts a ringed finger from his beer bottle to point at Issei, then at Takahiro. ‘Make out, keep it PG.’

tldr; takahiro realizes that they're in love and issei proves himself to know takahiro exceedingly, exceptionally, frankly unfairly well.

Summary
And most mortifying of all, the other day, he’d walked up to Takahiro mid-shout session at the vending machine, gently moved him aside with a hand on Takahiro’s lower back, aimed a particularly rattling and hard kick at the side of the machine, and squatted down to miraculously pull out a box of chocolate milk and present it to Takahiro with a blank look on his face.
Takahiro had almost torn his hair out with frustration but had taken it gracefully, mumbling a low and embarrassed ‘Thank you,’ and Matsukawa had just snickered and shrugged it off, saying bizarrely, ‘No problem, anything for you, doll.’
(What the fuck is that even supposed to mean.)
au where matsukawa issei joins seijou a couple years late and falls in love at first sight. it's much the same on the other end. it takes hanamaki a while to admit it though

Summary
It's easy to pass off too-fast heartbeats as adrenaline post-game, post-practice, or because Kageyama just makes him excited to play volleyball. It's harder to ignore when he has to look away the second Kageyama starts getting changed for bed, slipping out of his shirt and revealing shoulders he's grown into nicely (when did he get even bigger? Not fair) and then his pants are sliding down his legs and Hinata pretends he's really invested in the textbook he uses as a doorstop.

Summary
Atsumu doesn’t like Kageyama. More accurately, Atsumu likes Kageyama, but he wants Kageyama to hate him. He says it’s his setter’s pride, but Shouyou thinks that Atsumu just wants to see Kageyama snap, for his own satisfaction. “You want to fight… over me?”
Atsumu grinned like a shark at that. “Well, no,” he said, his Kansai accent warmly sinister. “It’s the principle of the thing.”
“Anyway, he has Hoshiumi now,” Shouyou said.
“That can’t possibly be true.”
“And Ushiwaka.”
Atsumu snorted. “More likely,” he said, “but also untrue. It’s not a spiker our Tobio-kun is looking for. ”
“Then what are we talking about?”
“Oh,” Atsumu said, his eyes widening. “You don’t know.”
