    Summary

    "I'm gonna get the new temp professor to sleep with me by the end of the semester."

    For a moment, there is only silence. The next, the table breaks out in various degrees of reaction. On the lowest rung is Kita, who merely raises a brow as he drinks his cocktail. Next is Suna and Aran, who are laughing uncontrollably and sputtering in disbelief respectively. But the most explosive of them all is, of course, Osamu—his gaze positively horrified across the table.

    "Of all people, really? You're gonna try to fuck my advisor?"

    Atsumu grins. "Yeah, I am." He tips his glass towards Osamu. "So put in a good word, won'tcha?" To be extra insufferable, he winks on the question.

    Grad student Miya Atsumu makes it his goal to get in the temp professor Sakusa Kiyoomi's pants before Sakusa departs at the end of the semester. As Atsumu executes his plans of seduction, he does end up getting closer to Sakusa ... just not quite in the way that he'd expected.

    Summary

    “Coach Foster told me that you’re coming back to play for the Jackals again,” Atsumu says over the phone. “Where will you be staying? You sold your place when you left, didn’t you?”

    “I did.”

     

    Because he hadn’t planned on ever returning.

     

    “So have you found a place yet?”

    “I’m still looking.”

    “You can stay at mine,” Atsumu says softly.

    “What?”

    “Come stay with me, Omi.”


    Three years ago, Kiyoomi left to play volleyball in France.

     

    Atsumu stayed.

     

    Three years on, Kiyoomi returns.
    But he's only staying for a year, only until his contract with the Jackals ends. And then he'll retire from volleyball, and take his final leave. Because he's spent his entire life running from love and he's not sure when he'll stop, if ever.
    This is not a love story; this is a story about love.

    Summary

    “Miya Atsumu.” The stranger’s gravelly voice lilted with fondness, a feathery chuckle on his lips. “The man in love with a painting.”

    A man haunts Atsumu's dreams again and again until the hazy recollection of his face paints every canvas in his room. Meanwhile, Kiyoomi's notebooks are overflowing, bleeding into the margins with a lifetime of memories that belonged to another version of himself.

    Summary

    “The fans think you want to fuck each other. They’re shipping you. Do you know shipping?”

    “What?” Atsumu blurts. “What d’ya —”

    “Tsumu-san, shipping is when people pair you with someone else and then they create romantic fantasies about you. Oh, like this one time, I read —”

    “— I know what shippin’ is, Sho!” Atsumu sputters. “But why us? I can’t stand him!”

    Oikawa gasps under his breath. “Oh my God. I know where this is going.”

    “Here’s what I’m saying, Atsumu-kun, Kiyoomi-kun — there are a lot of ways to get to the top of the idol scene. Not all of them are conventional, and even less of them are fun, but if you want to stand out from all the other generic boy-groups, then you have to take every chance you’re presented with. And, somehow, this has become a big chance.”


    Atsumu has finally made it — he’s steps away from the stage he’s always dreamed of.

    There’s only one problem: Sakusa Kiyoomi.
