    Summary

    Tadashi ends up bringing him dinner in the bedroom, testing the office chair’s durability by fitting himself on Kei’s lap. “You could get some inspiration from the internet,” he mumbles, watching the cursor on the screen blinking against a blank document.

    “The internet didn’t go through the painful torture of watching the dumbest mating ritual of the animal kingdom,” he grumbles. Tadashi’s chuckle tickles Kei’s neck, a huff of hot breath warming him to his core. If Kageyama and Hinata feel even half of this for each other —and he thinks they do— Kei owes them a nice fucking speech.

    After all, he had witnessed their weird courtship from the front row. Who better than him to tell the world about just how much those two idiots were meant for each other?

    [Or: Kageyama and Hinata's relationship through Tsukishima's eyes as he tries to write his best man speech.]

    Summary

    “What do you do with the flowers?”

    Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”

    “Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”

    He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”

    “I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”

    Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”

    “Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”

    Since you’re not using them—

    “What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”

    Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

    Summary

    “I’m in love with you. Isn’t that pathetic?” Kaveh murmurs into his ear. He is laughing—harsh and discordant and bitter.

    “I’m in love with you, and I’m dying,” Kaveh rambles. “You’re killing me, Alhaitham.”

    (Kaveh contracts hanahaki. He and Alhaitham deal with the consequences.)
