Summary
The last of his regulars bade Osamu farewell close to an hour ago now, and Atsumu has been nursing his glass of apple juice ever since. Sakusa Kiyoomi, the theme of tonight’s pity party, gets brought up every time Atsumu opens his maw, which is all the time. Dozens of tissues have been eviscerated in his name by Atsumu’s carefully groomed hands, and Osamu knows more about the guy’s preferred brands of shampoo, cologne, and antibacterial wipes than he does about the farm-to-fork odysseys of his produce, even though he prides himself on being able to recite the blood type of the very hen that laid what then became a given customer’s eggroll upon request.
It bears mentioning that the poorly concealed attraction his brother seems to harbor for one of his spikers is hardly the issue. Osamu can take waxing poetic about how the moonlight ‘dawdles’ whenever it ‘decides to pay Sakusa’s pupils a call’ or whatever nonsense his idiot of a brother will come up with next, nauseating though it may be.
No, what Osamu has no patience for is the lovesickness.
Why matchmaking is (not) an endeavor doomed to failure: a case study.

can it be more wholesomely unhinged and chaotic than this?

Summary
Kiyoomi has a third epiphany: Miya is, most likely, his friend. Which means that Motoya isn’t his only friend anymore, which also means Motoya is now his best friend. Kiyoomi hates it here.
Kiyoomi and Osamu are flatmates, the student life is not rose-colored, and Atsumu shows up at the most unexpected times in the most expected places. Kiyoomi is... dealing with it.

Summary
“Miya. It’s cold. I wanna go home.”
Atsumu knows he’s being petty, but he sinks to the ground in a crouch and curls himself into a miserable ball. Sakusa doesn’t trust him. His hitter doesn’t trust him. His best friend on the team—scratch that, in life—doesn’t trust him. How is he supposed to live? He won’t make it to the Olympics if Sakusa doesn’t trust him. If Sakusa doesn’t like him, Atsumu might as well stay out here and wait to die.
“You’re so dramatic,” Sakusa says.
Atsumu’s only response is a hiccuping sniffle.
World-class setter Miya Atsumu is what others might call an ‘emotional drunk.’

Summary
Iwa shakes his head, huffing out a soft chuckle. Tooru moves in to fix his tie, and Iwa tilts his head up, letting Tooru do so. "Is it stupid that I'm feeling a little nervous?"
Tooru allows himself to take longer than necessary in adjusting Iwa's tie. Allows himself to brush his fingers against Iwa's neck, allows himself to feel the warmth of Iwa's presence; allows himself to pretend he can do this everyday.
***
Tooru never thought he'd be the best man at Iwa's wedding, but, well -- here they are.

Summary
'This was how Shouyou, prince of the kingdom on the hill, ended up sitting on the wooden floor in front of the fire, roasting all the different kinds of meats in the crackling flames to eat. When he was done, he flopped over backwards, sprawling over the floor.
Kageyama was watching him again. Shouyou rolled lazily onto his stomach and rested his head on his arm, smiling at him.
“That was good,” he said. The food had been delicious. Watching Kageyama eat had been more so; the way his throat worked to swallow as he drank down the creamy, white milk, his white teeth as they sank into the succulent, tender meat, the little groans and sighs of pleasure he made as he tasted it. It had all made Shouyou so very, very hungry for more.'
--
There was a kingdom on a hill, and a prince with hair of red,
And a forest at its borders where the prince one dark night fled.In the forest was a path, but off it he did stray,
To a cabin, and a Wolf, and with him the Lamb did lay.Series
