Summary
when oikawa tooru tries to define himself, the only word he can come up with these days is "salaryman." and he’s fine with that. really. at his grand age of 28, a stable job that puts money towards his savings is as much as he can ask for.
he doesn’t need anything more, and he definitely doesn’t need to think about what else he could’ve been. after all, it doesn’t help much.
...
but maybe he needed this, needed someone to look at him with stars in their eyes, just once, just one more time.
[or, nobody-anymore oikawa tooru meets international-superstar kageyama tobio out of chance. he tries (and fails) to not let his own pride get in the way.]

Summary
“Where...have you come from?” Ushijima manages.
“Paris.”
It’s not the answer he expects. Though, somehow Paris seems to fit his expectations of the man standing in front of him. “Mm. That is very — ”
“ — Exciting? Glamorous?” the redhead prompts, obviously proud of his globetrotting accomplishment.
“ — Far.”
The man falters for the first time, like he finds Ushijima’s answer odd — despite being even odder himself — and laughs, infectious and hearty, like Ushijima has made some sort of joke.
One fateful day, a colorful, painfully extroverted young man named Tendou Satori moves into the unit above Ushijima's apartment. He's odd, presumptuous, and — most egregious of all — he's shockingly noisy. And the quiet, scheduled routine Ushijima Wakatoshi lives is forever altered.

Summary
"You're amazing," Tobio says unashamedly, staring at Tooru as if he's some kind of miracle. "Will you please teach me how to serve?"
Tooru swallows.
He cannot do anything about his knee. He cannot change the fact that even with physical therapy, he may never be able to set foot on the court again. And he cannot tell the truth to a boy without memories of the past four years, who is asking him so innocently, so hopefully, for just one simple favor.
Like a sinner on his deathbed, Tooru closes his eyes and smiles.
"Sure."
Oikawa Tooru returns to Miyagi to recover from a career-jeopardizing injury. There he re-encounters Kageyama Tobio, whose memories have been claimed by a traumatic accident.

Summary
“Terrible conversationalist as always, I see,” Oikawa said, leaning back. Like this, Tobio could see that he really had gotten broader, bigger, probably better. His shoulder pressed into Tobio’s who awkwardly leaned away, shifting into the wall. He sighed dramatically, “You aren’t going to ask how I am?”
Set during the brief holiday break of Tobio’s third and final year of high school. Things are about to end as much as they are about to begin. What better of a time to reconvene with the person he has always looked up to?
Whether it be growing older or growing up, some things will change and some things will always be the same.
