    Summary

    Bokuto sees him every day, every commute, at the final train. The stranger he only knows as Train Guy. Wrapped in coats, mystery, and distance - that is, until Bokuto breaks their familiar silence. He struggles with the hardest part of befriending someone he thinks he already knows: taking a step back to reevaluate all his assumptions.

    He finds the easiest part is getting to learn about Train Guy all over again.

    Summary

    His perception of the universe and its functions became muddled the longer Keiji remained caught in orbit, a place where logic and reason didn’t hold up. Bokuto was someone who challenged everything he thought he knew, existing with a kind of intensity so unfamiliar to him. It was the kind, though, that Keiji wanted to learn—wholly, completely, irrevocably.

    But life was never allowed to be so simple.

    or, five times Akaashi Keiji told himself not to be selfish (and the one time he changed his mind).

    Summary

    “Or what about Ushijima?”

    That catches Kiyoomi’s attention, and he stops in the middle of the street to turn around and scowl at Atsumu. “What about Ushijima?”

    Atsumu must tilt his head back to smirk up at Kiyoomi from beneath the visor of his cap. “He’s not workin’ on quicks. You’d be a step ahead of him if ya did. He might even raise an eyebrow in surprise or somethin’ equally as scandalous.”

    Kiyoomi stares at him, narrows his gaze as he scrutinises Atsumu’s face, the challenge in the upturned corners of his lips. “Are you attempting to manipulate me, Miya?” he asks.

    “I dunno. Is it workin’?”

    “Kind of.”

    “Then yeah, I guess.”

    ______________________
    When Kiyoomi and Atsumu accidentally pull off a minus-tempo quick during practice, Atsumu convinces Kiyoomi to practice it for the new season.
    It's sort of inevitable that he convinces Kiyoomi to fall in love with him too.
