“What the hell,” Kageyama whispered between a rotation. “How do you survive being this short, dumbass? Can you even reach things?”

“Shut up! That’s my body you’re talking about,” Shoyo said defensively.

“And it’s useless! How do you even play volleyball—”

“I’m sorry,” said Shoyo, “but I can’t hear you from up here—”

Hinata Shoyo moves in across the street before Tobio’s third year of elementary school. Inevitably, they become friends.

Kuroo thinks it’s a brilliant plan to get the Karasuno team to recreate the Lizzie Bennett Diaries.

Oikawa plays Caroline.

When Shoyo comes back to the lockers because he’s forgotten his elbow pads, Kageyama’s there too, rustling with something in his bag. Shoyo feels his heart rate spike, consciously aware of every single one of his own movements. The tension lies thick in the room.

Tobio huffs through his teeth. What’s the best way to say, hey, I’m kinda horny, can we sext for the first time?

“You wanna have sex in the club room?”

Shoyo’s ears are burning. “Don’t say it so bluntly like that!”

Kageyama’s warm beside him. Shoyo likes being here.

Shoyo can’t believe it’s happening again, which is the worst thing.
