    Summary

    Her job was a thousand small fires, none of which were allowed to get dramatic.

    But the buses would start arriving soon. She’d meet them all—Bokuto in a hoodie and indoor shoes already on, Sakusa with a duffel packed like a diagram, Yaku carrying his own French press like it was a weapon.

    And when the others came in—sleep-deprived, jetlagged, bruised and sweating through their compression sleeves—someone would hand them towels, confirm their rooms, and pretend not to notice the blank, shivering pause most of them went through after reentry.

    That someone, unfortunately, was her.

    (A day in the life of Mari Shimada, team manager for Japan's Men's National Volleyball Team.)

    Summary

    Kuroo exhaled slowly, the kind of breath that carries no weight but still feels necessary. His spine ached in three places. His eyes burned. He tried to remember something beautiful about the day—maybe the way the gym lights caught the dust during practice, or the sound of sneakers squeaking on polished wood—but the memory didn’t rise. Just paperwork. Sponsorship decks. A coach yelling into his phone. A player with a twisted ankle. Apologies. Smiles. Endless scheduling.

    He rubbed his temples with the pads of his fingers, then leaned back again. His reflection in the window looked like someone he might have passed in the hallway and forgotten to say hello to. He felt transparent. Not in a sad way—just in the way that paper left in the rain becomes too soft to hold its shape.

    (In which Kuroo has the worst housing crisis of his life, is way too used to concealing his feelings, and maybe doesn't need the spare room after all.)
