    Summary

    Akaashi almost collapses with fright when he turns the corner to his apartment, and sees an apparition standing by his door-step.

    “Yer did ask, when I was gonna open up a Tokyo branch?” Osamu is leaning against his door-frame, a bulging bag of groceries in each hand.

    It's technically just a three hour train ride from Osaka to Tokyo - a perfectly acceptable trip to make in order to feed a friend.

    Summary

    Akaashi's childhood room is: bare, because he preferred to buy ice cream over posters; tidy, because he would always organize room when he couldn't organize his mind; spotless, because his mothers have been diligent even in his absence; and too small, for the grown adults who now stand in it.

    Summary

    Bokuto handles him like he could bruise, nervous fingers can't decide where to wander. His knees tremble, Akaashi has to arch towards him just to feel the stretch of his palm. Tell him, it's alright, please continue.

    There is nothing more he desires than to be taken wholly by this man.

    Intimacy is a foreign language and touch is the teacher.

    (or a series of moments throughout their courtship, each chapter is a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    Kiyoomi takes off his headphones and glimpses a tuft of blond hair. He leans forward in his seat and sees Atsumu practically climbing the barricade, upper body hauled as high as he can over the wall.

    “You didn’t tell me you’re comin’!” Atsumu pouts, voice straining from tiptoeing over the barricade. “You’re here.” His voice is loud enough to break through the noisy gym, Kansai-ben softened with a genuine smile.

    Kiyoomi pulls down his facemask and smiles. The cherry blossoms have bloomed and then withered under the summer sun, Tokyo streets painted in orange and then white as the chill made its way to his genkan, and now the cherry blossoms have grown back.

     

    I’m here. It’s about time.

    Or: Pro volleyball player Miya Atsumu courts a sleep-deprived university student and Sakusa Kiyoomi learns how to love a Division 1 rookie setter over four seasons. (And maybe Kiyoomi learns that it isn’t ideal to have a eureka moment over his feelings during hell week.)
