    Summary

    Hinata tilts his head ever so slightly, eyes sparking. “Bluffing’s a game, Kageyama, you just need to learn how to play it right.”

    Kageyama Tobio is a successful defence attorney with everything he needs: a growing career, a steady queue of clients, and a reputation that's going to open doors for him. It's all going well - on paper.

    Until one day, when a teenage girl arrives at his office begging him to get her brother off the hook for a murder charge, and Kageyama finds himself defending Hinata Shouyou: a poker player with a reputation for being undefeated.

    It should be just another case. But Kageyama, realising that his life in law is perhaps too lonely, too stale, keeps this one client in his life. Because something about Hinata is addicting, and maybe this is just the gamble that he needs to take.

    (A lawyer AU; based on the events in the Ace Attorney series.)

    Summary

    “In my twenty-five years of life, I have dated seven people,” Hinata says, wiggling his fingers. Indeed, he is holding up seven fingers. “You need to talk to all of them, and ask them what happened between us.”

    Naturally, Kageyama sits back in his seat and says, “What the fuck,” because that is a weird ass thing to ask anyone to do, let alone someone you’ve known since puberty and has always had an ambiguously homoerotic relationship with. But the big surprise is, of course: Hinata has exes?

    But the golden boy himself just shakes his head. “The correct answer, Kageyama-kun, is ‘where’s the list’?”
    ---

     

    Or, in a fit of jealousy after finding out Hinata and Atsumu are dating, Kageyama asks his old friend out to dinner only to be tasked with the mission to talk to all of Hinata's old exes first. In the process, Kageyama finds out a side of his friend that he's never known before, as well as some old, lingering feelings that he should probably deal with.

    Summary

    There are several things Atsumu should be saying at this point: it’s okay, we won’t hurt you, or hi, I’m Miya Atsumu, what’s your name? But this boy is gorgeous, with his red hair and big brown eyes, and something in Atsumu’s brain just misfires in the most horribly wrong way, and what he ends up blurting out is “Are you single?”
