KagaKuro Month 2k22 (day 9)

Day 9: Firsts

The locker room was quiet after the Shuutoku game. Most of the team had already left, save for Kuroko and Kagami. The high from beating such a strong opponent still hung in the air, but there was something heavier there too.

“I’m sorry,” Kagami finally said, breaking the silence. Kuroko looked up from where he was crouched down tying his shoelaces.

“For what, Kagami-kun?” he asked blankly.

“I shouldn’t have hit you,” Kagami said firmly, his eyes trained on the ground beside Kuroko’s feet. “I was upset and acting stupid, which is no excuse. I’m sorry.”

Slowly, Kuroko stood and stepped closer to him. Kagami’s shoulders were hunched, and he was fiddling with his fingers.

“I hit you first,” Kuroko said diplomatically.

“I barely felt it,” Kagami replied.

A small smile played on the edges of Kuroko’s mouth.

“Well, I still did it. So, I apologize as well.”

Finally, Kagami looked up to meet Kuroko’s gaze and was startled by how close his teammate was standing.

“Would you like to be sure I’m okay?” Kuroko asked, and Kagami thought he heard a tremor in his partner’s always-calm voice. Kagami didn’t reply, just stood frozen as Kuroko reached for his hand, the coolness of his calloused fingertips sending a shiver through Kagami’s whole body.

But Kagami let Kuroko continue and was surprised to find himself trembling as Kuroko lifted Kagami's hand to cup his face. Kagami’s palm covered the whole of Kuroko’s flushed cheek.

By now, Kagami’s thoughts were racing and he knew his blush had to be the same color as his hair, but Kuroko’s eyes had drifted shut and he leaned his face into Kagami’s hand, humming quietly in what Kagami could only conclude was comfort. And, god, Kagami couldn’t have moved away even if he had wanted to.

Instead, he carefully brushed his thumb across Kuroko’s cheek, feeling the slight swell he’d caused with his right hook. Shame welled up in him for having hurt his best friend, but it was quickly swamped by the feelings that were rearing up in the wake of the incident—feelings that he had spent months denying to himself and avoiding for fear of chasing Kuroko away.

Kuroko’s eyes were still closed, and Kagami shifted closer, holding his breath, ready to be pushed away. But Kuroko didn’t flinch, didn’t open his eyes, only lifted his free hand to rest it carefully on Kagami’s waist. And after that, Kagami was done for.

His fingers gently carded through Kuroko’s blue hair and Kuroko leaned even closer, his eyes still closed, and Kagami couldn’t take it anymore. He wrapped his free arm around Kuroko’s waist and tugged him flush against his body, hearing a soft gasp before he leaned down to capture Kuroko’s lips in a kiss.

It was clumsy and awkward from their inexperience and height difference, but Kuroko responded enthusiastically, one hand coming up to tangle in Kagami’s hair and pull him even closer, eliciting a soft groan from the taller boy as he kissed Kuroko like his life depended on it.

Kuroko was the first to pull away, his breath coming heavily as he slumped forward to rest against Kagami’s chest.

“If that’s how you apologize after fights that I start, maybe I’ll have to pick them more often,” he said quietly, as Kagami chuckled and held him close, smiling wider than he could ever remember.

Haikyuu!! Fic Recs (1/?)

IwaOi Fic Recs

I'm a sucker for childhood-friends-to-lovers, and Iwa and Oikawa are the epitome of the trope. In my headcanon they're the type of friends who have been so close for so long that it takes the iconic oh moment for them to realize they've fallen in love along the way.

Before Midnight by fathomfive G | 2.5k | fluff and meteor showers and being the center of each other’s universe

Absolutely Lovely by levkawa & starlitcities E | 3.9k | when you love your BestFriendBoyfriend so much that it makes you cry, rated E for emotional sex

life is chances that are taken by bohemianraspberries T | 3.9k | coming out, mutual pining, being clueless and adorable

all in due time by rosalyra T | 8.8k | meeting your future selves, being stupidly in love

new phone who dis by meruemsthighs T | 57k | chat fic, college AU first meeting, pining, slow burn; Iwa is painfully dense, but their friendship is cute as hell

the weight of water by wordstruck/@redluxite M | 6k | major character death; heartbreaking, painful, crushing angst; but so, so beautiful

The Worth for and of Everything by Moami G | 3k | self-worth (or lack thereof) and how your best friend fucking loves you, you idiot

to write you a song & LA LA LAND by @aiviloti G/T | 8.5k/44k | letting your insecurities hurt you and the people you love; blowing up your life and then realizing you’d really like to put it back together; angst, angst, pining, time skips | the juxtapositions of fear and bravery; companionship and solitude; guilt and forgiveness; heartbreak and healing

Haikyuu!! Headcanons (9/?)

Who confesses first? / How did they get together?

KageHina: After a grueling day of summer training, Hinata and Kageyama collapse on their backs in the grass outside the gym. The underclassmen are still cleaning up, the squeak of their shoes floating out into the humid summer evening. And Kageyama knows they should get up, knows that Ennoshita will probably yell at them for not helping, but for once, it seems that Hinata wants a moment of quiet. It's so strange for silence to fall between them, and Kageyama turns his head to say something, but stops. The light pouring from the open gym door slants across Hinata's face and makes him almost glow, and it's not the first time Kageyama has wanted this, but it's the first time he's said it out loud. He's not even sure how Hinata hears his name, whispered on an exhale as if it were as natural as breathing, "Hinata..." and as their eyes lock, just as quietly but much more certain, "I want to kiss you."

BokuAka: Kuroo is super supportive when Bokuto tells him that he's going to confess to Akaashi. In fact, he might be too supportive. He definitely doesn't do anything to dissuade Bokuto's plans from getting bigger and more dramatic by the day as he prepares to tell Akaashi how he feels. Kenma tries to be the voice of reason, but Kuroo and Bokuto are having none of it. So, on his birthday, the only comfort Akaashi has is that the club room is isolated. Because when he walks in, his eyes almost bug out of his head. The room is wallpapered in the dozens and dozens of pictures and selfies that Bokuto and Kuroo have been taking over the two years that Akaashi has been at Fukurodani. Some of the pictures he recognizes—often he's cringing or rolling his eyes—but others just include him in the background as Bokuto points with a huge smile, and many are taken from a distance of him and Bokuto at practice, at training camps, on the train, walking home after school (???). As Akaashi's eyes dart over the photos, he finally realizes that Bokuto is standing in the middle of it all. Behind him is an enormous photo of the two of them that Kuroo must have taken. In it, they're sitting side by side on a courtside bench. Bokuto is leaning over to rest his head on Akaashi's shoulder. And Bokuto is beaming, and Akaashi's arm is up around him; his fingers are in Bokuto's hair, and the look on his face...the look on Akaashi's face is nothing short of pure devotion. "Horror" is close to what Akaashi's emotions have landed on in the 30 seconds since he opened the door, but the ordeal is far from over as Bokuto finally steps forward. He's wearing a t-shirt with their faces on it and holding a bouquet of flowers, and Akaashi is going to murder Kuroo, but then Bokuto reaches out and takes his hand and confesses his feelings. And Bokuto is so earnest, and his eyes are shining, and killing Kuroo will have to wait, because Akaashi has waited long enough for this and he's got to hug his boyfriend.

IwaOi: When Oikawa is confident, he blazes a trail for all those who come after him, but when things get dodgy, it's Iwaizumi who leads the way. Oikawa blames it on Iwa being born forty days before him. ("That's forty days you had to prepare for the horrors of this world before I entered it!" To which Iwa mutters, "The horror I should've prepared for was you.") Oikawa's been saying it since they were kids—"Iwa-chan, you go first! I think there's a spiderweb there," "You can light the first firework, Iwa-chan! Let me know if they're expired!," "The ocean is waiting, Iwa-chan! You get in first and chase away all the sharks." And Iwaizumi does, every time. He goes first, and he takes risks, and he keeps it together when things go wrong, because if he starts to cry, Oikawa will absolutely join in. So when it comes to the most terrifying "first," the one that feels like standing on the edge of a diving board dozens of meters up, the one that Iwa knows won't break them, but it could easily break him...Iwa goes first. They're in Tooru's backyard, and Iwa is cleaning out Mrs. Oikawa's flowerbeds (which she told Tooru to do, but he's focusing very hard on trying to pet a very fat bumblebee that's landed on a bright red flower). And when Iwa looks up and sees Oikawa, his tongue peeking between his lips as he gently strokes the bee, his eyes wide with wonder, it's like Iwaizumi's heart stops beating. Then Oikawa smiles and says, "Iwa-chan! He feels like a tiny kitten! Come here!" and Iwa knows he's done for. He goes to Oikawa's side—he always will—and dusts his hands off on his shorts. His fingers are trembling as Oikawa takes his hand, and he's right, the bee does feel like a kitten. The bee is also annoyed at being prodded by giant fingers and promptly finishes with the flower and flies away. And Tooru is talking; he's still holding Iwa's hand; and Iwa can't hear anything, but his eyes lock on his best friend and he remembers, Oh, right. I have to lead the way. So he takes a deep breath and gets to the point, moving his hands to rest heavily on Oikawa's shoulders and holding him at arm's-distance (and ignoring Oikawa calling him a brute when he cuts him off midsentence). "Hey, dumbass," Iwa starts, and he doesn't flinch that that's how it begins, because, how else would it? Oikawa squawks in indignation, but Iwa says his first name, and Tooru is listening now. Iwaizumi has been staring at the ground beneath their feet, but now he meets Oikawa's eyes and a sigh leaves his lips. He's trembling slightly, but a smile quirks one corner of his mouth and he leads the way—"This isn't going to change anything. I've put up with you for this long, so you know I won't leave, even if you tell me to. So, don't make it a big thing if you don't feel the same way—it wouldn't be the first time we've disagreed." A deep breath, the last one before the plunge, and Iwa holds his arms out to his sides, like a shrug, like a declaration—this is all of me and if you want it...—and grins, "I'm in love with you." And they step forward together.

(Keep reading: KuroKen, DaiSuga, AsaNoya, KiyoYachi, UshiTen) (all headcanons here+)

KuroKen: The line between "best friends" and "boyfriends" has never really been clear with Kuroo and Kenma. They've always been especially close, more so than most friends their age. Through the years that they've spent together, they've picked up each other's habits and learned the meanings of subtlest of movements, always seeming to know what the other needs before anything is said. More than once, their friends and families have called their preternatural bond "spooky," and Kuroo loves to say that it's because he and Kenma have a psychic connection, but the truth is that they're just both incredibly observant and devoted to each other. And that devotion, which was born from being together nearly constantly in childhood and was cemented by innumerable moments that proved their loyalty and trust and affection, doesn't lend itself to either of them noticing that things have shifted between them. So, after years of casual affection—best friendship—after countless nights murmuring their insecurities and reassuring each other, after proving to each other again and again and again that they'll be there, they'll carry the burden, they'll make each other laugh, they won't leave...it's not much of a surprise when Kuroo tips his head back from where he sits on the floor beside Kenma's bed and asks seriously but without worry (because no answer could change what they mean to each other), "Hey, Kenma, do you think we could try being more than friends?"

DaiSuga: It takes Daichi a long time to work up the courage to confess to Suga. First, he spends over two years in denial (because everyone fantasizes about kissing the beauty mark below their best friend's gorgeous eye). From there, he moves to terror and preemptive humiliation (and embarrasses himself further by avoiding Suga for a solid month because he can't even look at him without feeling like he's going to throw up). And by the start of their third year, he's settled firmly into depressed pining, and it's about this time that he finally consults Kiyoko in a desperate attempt to garner sympathy from someone who might not laugh at him. And she doesn't! She's supportive and encouraging and lets him wallow at her house while they watch emotional American movies with only somewhat reliable subtitles. And it's one of those movies that finally gives Daichi an idea, something that, if he does it right, could make Suga smile (and honestly, even if Suga rejects him, if he smiles while doing it, Daichi might be able to convince himself not to hide under a blanket until graduation). So, he gets everything ready and staves off an approaching heart attack when he rings Suga's doorbell. And Suga clearly, somehow, knows the reference, because the first thing he says is, "Oh, please don't wait to confess to me until after I've married someone else." And Daichi drops his cue cards, his eyes wide, but Suga's eyes are wider as he realizes what's happening and what his sass just interrupted. But Daichi is laughing (somewhat manically), and Suga has run down the steps and is hugging him and nodding nonstop and laughing too, and it definitely didn't go as he planned, but Daichi is okay with that.

AsaNoya: Noya confesses to Asahi before morning practice one day, cornering him outside the club room and dragging him out of view of passersby. He talks too loud and says too much (did he just blame his suspension on feeling like Asahi broke up with him??) and ends by ordering Asahi not to accept just because Noya could kick his ass. For several long moments after Noya speaks, Asahi isn't sure if he heard correctly. Maybe he fell asleep on his feet and dreamt the whole thing. Maybe Hinata served a ball into his head and he's actually in a volleyball-induced coma. Maybe he's finally lost his mind from the stress and anxiety of being on this team that he loves so much it might actually be killing him. But, no. Asahi's dreams and delusions couldn't summon up a Nishinoya this real. He's wearing a determined frown (which might pass for a worried expression, now that Asahi thinks about it) and is almost vibrating—either from nerves or caffeine—and he's waiting for an answer. Finally, Asahi closes his mouth that's been hanging open, and without even crying, nods. A smile breaks out over Noya's face and then Asahi is smiling too, and Noya rushes forward to hug his new boyfriend.

KiyoYachi: Kiyoko wants her confession to be perfect, so she waits for the right time—her graduation day—and tries not to crumple the letter that she's written and rewritten more times than she'd like to admit. She's decorated the envelope with delicate flowers that she's doodled in her notebooks for years, and she's even dabbed the seal with the perfume she wears. So, when Yachi comes to congratulate her, Kiyoko tugs her away from the crowds and gives her the letter with trembling fingers. And Yachi's eyes are so, so wide, and her hands are shaking too. And she drops the letter and makes a panicked noise in her throat as she snatches it off the ground, but now she's shaking too hard to open it. And before Yachi can pass out from her nerves, Kiyoko takes one of her hands and squeezes it gently. She smiles softly as Yachi's breaths steady, because she knows her. And she knows Yachi is going to accept her confession. And she knows—and wants Yachi to know too—that her girl has no reason to be nervous.

UshiTen: It's on one of his morning runs near the end of their third year that Ushijima finally decides he needs to ask Tendou the question that's been weighing on him for months, maybe years. So, as he does every morning, Ushijima finishes his run and hits the shower, then he gets ready for the day and walks the short distance to Tendou's room, knocking twice before letting himself in. (The door is always unlocked, because Tendou lost his room key the second week of school and refuses to believe he won't find it before the year ends.) When Ushijima enters, Tendou is awake and blearily brushing his wild hair, his tie askew and his blazer unbuttoned. It makes Ushijima smile—as much of a smile as he ever does...his eyes soften at least. And as always, Tendou notices and inquires about it. And then Ushijima meets his eyes and his voice almost wavers as he asks, "Satori, you're my best friend. Please answer honestly. Is it abnormal for me to feel for you in a way that aligns with typical descriptions of romantic love?" And Satori drops the hair brush and squeals, because Wakatoshi did not just confess to him with the world's most bizarrely worded question at seven o'clock in the morning in his dorm room—but he did, and they'll talk the details over later. After Tendou stops jumping up and down with his arms wrapped around Ushijima's shoulders like a vice.

My #1 post of 2022

An Incomplete List of Very Straight™️ Things Other People Canonically Said About Kagami and Kuroko, Straight Best Friends Who Are Not In Love:

"They're as cute...as a couple!"

"Come on, [Kuroko], I've never even been turned down by a girl! That's why I'm slightly interested in you, Kagami. Since Kuroko has sworn himself to you."

"If you've really hit a wall, at least go tell Kagami. Though, you should know, that guy hasn't stopped believing in you once."

"If something like destiny does exist, then it has to be fate that he showed up too. A sixth player that's like the Generation of Miracles, but couldn't become one of us. Someone with just as much talent as us, but was the last to be awakened. The Miracle that never was...or rather, the true light bound by destiny to meet his shadow."
