trick or treat!! =)

love the emoticon! the candy you've gracefully drawn is... a crossover! interesting, i wonder what kind... ah, yes! what gods i think the haikyuu characters are children of, in reference to percy jackson lore. i'm doing specifically the greek cabins (so, none of the gods that don't officially have any cabins, just to simplify things). but if i have any extra insight/thoughts on some of the other series (roman, norse, or egyptian) for the character, then i will give them.

i'm not doing all of the characters, just a select few that i can think of off the top of my head from most (not all) of the main high school teams:

KARASUNO

Hinata: Hermes, god of travelers and thieves, and often referred to as the "messenger of the gods". Now, I debated heavily on whether or not he would be a son of Hermes or Apollo, as Apollo is the embodiment of all things bright, but I think it is much more important that the speed aspect of Hinata's character is acknowledged. Additionally, Hermes... gets around. There are a lot of his kids, and at the beginning of the series, everybody who was unclaimed went to the Hermes cabin. Haikyuu is about, first and foremost, starting at the bottom and rising to the top. Literally, the main character's quote, "I'm Hinata Shoyo, from the Concrete." Nobody expects anything of him, as a child of Hermes. And then he proves that he can fly. Or, in Percy Jackson terms, be really cool and really important and have cool amazing powers, or something like that. He defies all expectations and fate itself and becomes someone worth listening to. He's like Luke, if Luke weren't so, hm, evil. I guess. And if he were a bit younger, more full of youthful life.

Kageyama: Apollo, god of archery, prophecy, healing, and disease, amongst many other things. I really went back and forth with him. Every god I thought of didn't seem right, but out of all of them, Apollo seems the most right (he very nearly got assigned Athena, but I think he is a little too stupid for that). He has natural talent, and I think that is something children of Apollo are blessed with. They are naturally talented at a great many things, and Kageyama was blessed with a natural talent of handling a volleyball. It's that disconnect from his peers that set him off. When people look at him, with his abilities and his unintentional controlling demeanor, they feel not just jealousy, but anger at the fact that he can't seem to get down at their level. That is the journey Apollo goes on in the Trials of Apollo, where he has to align himself with mortals and work with them, not just control them and make them do his bidding. The king has to become the peasant, and that is the same thing Kageyama has to go through. I am not here to say that Kageyama intentionally flaunts his power and precision and abilities, but he does do it, and it is something that he has to actively work through. Also, I think it pissed Oikawa OFF that Kageyama is a child of Apollo because Oikawa wanted to be that lmao.

Daichi: Hephaestus, god of fire and craftsmanship. I am NOT going to imply that he is ugly. He is not. My choice for him being a child of Hephaestus is not on any technical level; nothing about his character implies or shows that he's skilled with creation in any capacity. No, what it's interesting about Hephaestus is that, essentially, he provides the weaponry and tools that the gods use. When something breaks or needs repairing, he is the god the other gods turn to. He is the survivor of being thrown off of a cliff, you see. He is the foundation of the other gods. He is underrated; when you take away that foundation, the gods are left to stumble. Hephaestus can also have a certain level of wrath. He takes a lot, but he can also give a whole lot back in return. You don't get on Hephaestus' bad side. So, obviously, Daichi, as "Karasuno's foundation", would be a child of Hephaestus. He is that steady, important figure to stabilize and provide the tools needed for success for the rest of the team. Also, I think he played with fire as a kid. Sue me.

Nishinoya: Hermes, god of travelers and thieves. Originally, I had him clocked as a child of Hephaestus, but the more I explained it, the more I realized that, no, he is a child of Hermes. The reason why I thought Hephaestus was because of how much he reminds me of Leo Valdez (sans the insane levels of insecurity). But then I reconsidered. He is a menace to society. Children of Hermes are, in text, menaces to society. He's a fast little fucker, the guardian deity of the Karasuno. He came up with the quickest ways to get under the ball and back up to the air. The most damning evidence, though, is who he becomes in the timeskip. A traveler. He's all around the world, bringing himself and his love of volleyball with him wherever he goes. He's taking pictures, meeting new people, and having the time of his life. If he is not a child of Hermes, then Hermes is not the god of travelers, plain and simple.

Tsukkishima: Aphrodite, goddess of physical love and beauty. This mainly stems from how Riordan wrote the children of Aphrodite, who, for lack of better terms, are generally described as catty bitches in the first series. They also happen to be beautiful, and while I personally think Tsukkishima is... unattractive... I recognize that, canonically, he is attractive. For some reason. Anyway, many of the children of Aphrodite have the ability to use charmspeak, a type of hypnotism using words that can "convince" another person to do something that they want. Tsukkishima is most often featured using his words. He's not an incredibly physical person; when he wants to fight with someone, he does so using biting, venomous words. When he defends Yamaguchi in their backstory, he does so using intimidation in his words. He convinces them away. Also, Tsukkishima is a catty, mean character, but he is not without the positive attributes that redeem him, along with many of the Aphrodite children characters in the series.

AOBA JOHSAI

Oikawa: Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. I seriously debated him in putting him in another spot (Hades or Apollo, mainly), but I ultimately think he is a child of Athena, through and through. He is the head of his cabin, 100% percent, just like he is the captain of his team. He and Iwaizumi are the only ones I'm really going to bother mentioning for cabin heads, and that is because I have a very specific idea in my head, and thusly needs to be spoken into existence. Anyway, he is the strategist of his team. He sees the enemy across the court, and he is breaking them down in his mind. He is twisting their weaknesses in his head, and he is coming up with the strategy needed to win. But, another interesting thing to note when it comes to children of Athena, that the only thing they truly have is their minds. The smarts in their heads. They have no fun powers that may put them above their peers. They are "powerless". They can't control water, fire, or the wind itself. They can only strategize. I think this is important when it comes to Oikawa's character. He is someone who has had to fight to where he is, someone who was born with no natural talent, but forged it with his home-grown flames. That is a child of Athena. That is someone who will do everything to grow themselves into someone worth noticing, and someone who will do it well, and someone who will eventually win the war, no matter the battles that will be lost along the way (i.e. his eventual success to the Olympics in 2021). Not EVEN to mention the whole “pride” fatal flaw that Athena children tend to suffer from.

Iwaizumi: Ares, god of war. I want to make a special note that he is the head of his cabin, not only because he is strong, but he is also incredibly level-headed for a child of Ares. His violent side shines through, though; he is not a child of Ares for no reason. He is here because his first instinct to solve a problem is always going to be physically aggressive. To get sense through Oikawa's head, he bashes his forehead into his nose. He shakes him senseless, lobs volleyballs at his head, and is the deadly ace of his team. He is a child of Ares, and he is also best friends with the child of Athena, who's wisdom rubs off on him from time to time. Together, they make a deadly pair. Separate, they are strong, and they will war against each other with no end in sight (it is said that, when on opposing sides, neither Athena nor Ares can conquer or win over each other. They always come to a stalemate, regardless of what happens in PJO's capture the flag).

Hanamaki: Hecate, goddess of witchcraft, usually (though not by law) associated with darker magic like necromancy. You already KNOW he's cooking up some devious spells. He's got a whole book on how to ruin Oikawa's days through subtle, inconveniencing spells. He's learned how to quickly summon worms from the ground to invade Oikawa's tea in the morning. This is EXACTLY some type shit he would get up to.

Matsukawa: Hypnos, god of sleep. Oh, and you already KNOW he's right there beside Hanamaki to cause mayhem. They are the Stoll brothers 2.0., except completely unrelated, even by godly parentage. They are just best friends here to cause chaos for any camper they think is having too-good of a day. He's definitely invading Kyoutani's dreams and turning them into rainbow-glitter nightmares.

Kyoutani: Ares, god of war. Who else? Really, I want you to think of a more creative god to put this violent boy under. That's right, you CAN'T. He is the stereotypical Ares child. This is why he looks up to Iwaizumi so much, and really only listens to him (and why Oikawa chastises him so much); he really wants to prove to Iwaizumi that he is a great child of Ares. Really, though, he's just like the rest of them. Maybe just a tad more temperamental, though.

NEKOMA

Kuroo: Iris, goddess of communication and the rainbow. Now, you may be thinking, what the fuck, Mania? Where is this coming from? YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND. He was... very close to being a child of Athena, but I think his policy of "lowering the net", to teach everyone the love of volleyball and to give people the opportunity to do what they love the best that they can is vital to Kuroo's character. He becomes an organizer in the timeskip. He is actively pursuing his dream of bringing volleyball to everyone that he can, and I think that is so very, very important. He is the communicatory from the volleyball world (the gods) to everyone else who may just be an onlooker (mortals). He teaches those like Tsukkishima that volleyball is something that can be loved, not just played. He is the rainbow bridge bringing that love to everyone. Maybe she's not as cool or as sophisticated as the rest of the gods and cabins, but I want you to consider this: the demigods communication throughout the series was solely through Iris' rainbows. When her rainbows went down, nobody was able to talk to each other. Nobody. Everybody was in chaos, mayhem was tearing them apart. Nobody could get information quickly to point A and point B, all because they didn't have Iris' rainbows. Nobody would think to love or recognize her until she is gone. After all, you don't love or recognize breathing, do you?

Kenma: Hades, god of the underworld and the dead. I don't really have the best explanation for this other than the fact that I know this is right in my BONES. The way he interacts with other people just gives me child of Hades vibes. He's the brother of Nico di Angelo and Hazel Levesque and that is FINAL. Whenever I think of him, I think of the way, when he gets into whatever he's doing, he gets serious. Deadly. The way his gaze cuts over you, and the way you feel it gutting you inside out. The panel where he cages Hinata? So banger, so child of Hades. Not only that, but everyone kind of assumed he would do nothing with his life. Constantly playing games on his phone, never directing his energy into anything "productive" for society or for his physical health. And then, he has fun with volleyball. He grows up to be an extremely successful adult, CEO of his own company with thousands of fans at his beck and call. I think, when people saw Nico at his lowest, they figured he would be nothing and do nothing with his life. And then, he hones his power and becomes insanely strong, even if that strength comes at a price. I don't know how else to explain this, but Hades feels right to me and I make the laws around here, so. Yeah.

FUKURODANI

Bokuto: Zeus, god of the sky and thunder, more generally referred to as the "god of the gods". Listen. LISTEN to me. You HAVE to see the vision. When he goes to spike, the air CACKLES. It breaks, and the world shifts to recognize Bokuto as he flies. There is a reason that Akaashi is quoted to say, "We are the protagonists of this world." Why, when Bokuto is in the middle of the game, he says, "World, lend me your powers!" He embodies power, in my opinion, more than Ushijima or Sakusa ever did (who are both ranked, officially, above Bokuto in their high school days). It's clear that Furudate wanted to create a character that could embody that power, that victory, that all-importance, and he did that through Bokuto. You could argue Ushijima, but I think two things can be true at the same time. Bokuto is essentially a friendly version of Ushijima. Additionally, Zeus was known to have a temper. He was... an interesting... god, in the nicest way to put it. Bokuto's mind swings, and his incapability to reel in his emotions during his high school career, reflects Zeus neatly. And as a last little note, Bokuto graduated college, and nobody really knows how. If Zeus were a person, I kinda think that's how it would be for him, too. If you've read Percy Jackson, or really read any of Zeus' myths and legends, you'll see what I'm talking about. Not really the academic type, that one.

Akaashi: Nemesis, goddess of revenge. It also important to note that she is also considered a goddess of balance. To take something, you also have to give something. If you commit an act of violence, you will be aptly rewarded with violence in return. This is a little bit hard for me to explain, because it seems more obvious to align him with Athena. However, I think that balance is what really draws me to coin him as a child of Nemesis. He knows exactly where that push and pull is. He knows exactly when it is time to give and to take, when it is time to be mean or to be forgiving. A lot of people forget, I think, that Akaashi is not always kind to Bokuto. He joined Fukurodani to play with Bokuto, sure, but he is not a yes-man. He basically babysits Bokuto throughout the entirety of high-school. Handles him. Makes a list of his faults and strengths, and acts accordingly. Takes and gives to create balance. And that is how I view Nemesis, as the handler of the gods. She holds them accountable. She holds everyone accountable. (A more direct equivalent would be Themis, but she is... not an option.)

SHIRATORIZAWA

Ushijima: Jupiter, god of the sky and thunder, more generally referred to as the "god of the gods". No, I'm not even going to ENTERTAIN him as a child of a Greek god. In actual mythology, Jupiter and Zeus were really the same god. But in the book series, Jupiter is, essentially, a more orderly version of Zeus. Maybe not calmer, but more orderly. Camp Jupiter is also militaristic, organized, thorough. They train hard and expect great things of other people. I cannot think of any place that describes Ushijima and his mindset better. He is a child of Jupiter. People place their high expectations onto him, and he has nothing else to do but to follow through in their demands. He spikes hard, he plays hard, and he leads hard. People follow by his example, because they cannot help but to bask in his strength and glory. That is a child of Jupiter, per the Roman gods of Percy Jackson. And out of all of these that I have listed, I am the most sure of this decision.

Tendou: Tyche, goddess of luck and chance. While that may be his Greek cabin, I should like to add that I think he is, more clearly, a child of Loki (norse god of trickery), per Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. People bullied Tendou as a child. He was the freak, the monster under your bed, and he eventually grew into it. I think, in Valhalla, he is treated much the same way. People skirt around him because he is a child of Loki, the trickster god, the one set to bring down Asgard and the entire Norse mythological population... or something like that. I don't know. I'm not entirely up-to-date with Norse mythology. ANYWAY. He is a child of Loki, plan and simple. But he is also a resident of Valhalla. Despite what everyone says about him, he died a warrior's death. He died as a hero on a battlefield, the battlefield being a corner of a street in Japan where be bravely took a knife to his chest defending a child. He is a worthy man. He just also happens to be a trickster as well. I cannot think of a better summary for Tendou than that; the boy who could predict the freak quick attacks at every move, who sang unusual, eerie songs to piss off the people around him, who lets the term freak roll off of him, since he's now so used to it. I think he is someone who likes to play the occasional prank, who won't actually let a slight against him slide, should it be serious enough. Who would come up with the most creative way to get revenge on someone who punched him in the nose, in his late teenage years. Yes, that is who Tendou is.

Goshiki: Ares, god of war. I've already explained extensively how I think about Ares and his children, so I fear this should be obvious. Also, he seems more to be a child of Mars, the Roman god of war, just purely for that militaristic, orderly fashion that the Roman camp goes by in the books. I should explain that I've always viewed Ares/Mars to be a rip-off of Zeus/Jupiter. Literally the god children were born to because Uncle Rick couldn't overpopulate the Zeus/Jupiter cabins more than he already did. So, yeah. Goshiki is striving to be the ace of Shiratorizawa, following directly in Ushijima's footsteps. He's just a more volatile, rip-off version of Ushijima (no hate to Goshiki, and I sincerely apologize for my words to all Goshiki fans. But this is how I believe. He is funny for this exact reason. A blood-lusted, temperamental version of Ushijima). He is a child of Mars, through and through.

INARIZAKI

Kita: Demeter, goddess of agriculture. Is this a bit of a gimme? Sure, but it's a gimme for a reason. Demeter absolutely fits him well. In Percy Jackson, Demeter is one of the cabins that's severely overlooked, in my opinion. We don't get much on their characters until we hit Meg, who's lineage to Demeter is very non-relevant due to all of the stuff she has going on with Nero. Likewise, as he is in the series/manga, Kita is a severely underestimated character until we see just how impactful he is on the court. In his story, he doesn't even get a jersey until high school. And then, suddenly, in his third year, he's made captain? He's the example, what people should follow if they want to succeed. Likewise, people worshipped Demeter for their harvest, which was absolutely essential to their lives in Ancient Greece. Then, of course, Kita grows up to be a farmer. That plays a part in my decision, too.

Atsumu & Osamu: Nike, goddess of victory. It would be too much of a gimme to compare them to the Stoll brothers. Really, I don't think they are that much alike the Stoll Twins, so they do not get the Hermes cabin. They are so clearly children of victory that it HURTS. I think, despite their obvious hunger to win, the dead give-away is the amount of pain and anger Atsumu was in when Osamu told him he wouldn't be going pro. To Atsumu, he and Osamu were his ideas of victory. He thought that the only way to win was together. When that broke, he felt like Osamu was admitting defeat, and bringing Atsumu down with him. He felt like Osamu was preventing their victory, their chances to win and their chances at ever bathing in the glory of competition ever again. Because that is also a give-away of their parentage; their competitive streaks. As much as victory is important together against other people, they are also striving to be victorious over each other (i.e. Osamu's bet to Atsumu to see who will be the happier twin). When you think of Miya Twins, only one word should ever come to your mind: Victory.

Aran: Apollo, god of archery, prophecy, healing, and disease, amongst many other things. But, I am not very confident about this. Why? Well, I sat with him for a really long time and pondered what cabin he would be in. Nothing felt right, and I was juggled between many options. And then I realized, oh my God, he is a magician for SURE. He is definitely an avatar of Horus, Egyptian god of the sky and (somewhat) the sun, per the Kane Chronicles. It's been a while since I've read any of the Kane Chronicles books, and I have never truly finished the series, not for the fault of not finding it interesting or good, it's just never worked out. So unfortunately, I don't have as much insight as I do for many of the other characters. However, I will provide this: Aran has a slightly different energy than Bokuto and Ushijima, but he is still powerful in much the same ways they are. His energy is very similar, but it's not the same. They are Roman and Greek, who were pretty much the same gods in actual mythology. Horus is a little different; Horus is the son of the sun, Ra. He is a leader of the gods, and in some tales, he is considered the "god of the gods", kind of. And that's all I really have; I just KNOW this is right. Trust me.

ITACHIYAMA

Sakusa: Apollo, god of archery, prophecy, healing, and disease, amongst many other things. Yes, the jokes write themselves. He is a top two ace. His precision and speed is deadly accurate, with insanely flexible wrists. He is a cutie patootie. I mean, LOOK at him. That is an attractive man. He does not obtain some of the other qualities that Apollo children may have (namely, comfortably at the center of attention), but that does not mean he isn't one. I look at the way he cares for his health and well-being, constantly donning a mask and worrying about germs. I look at his strengths and the way he analyzes other people, slamming the ball like Apollo sends an arrow into Achilles' heel. His words tear into you, breaking you down and all your weaknesses. He demands to know more, because Apollo is the god of prophecy and knowledge, a god that inherently bestows curiosity into all of his children. Sakusa's curiosity just tends to come off more, ah, aggressively. I guess.

Can I request a little bit of fluff with Bokuto, Hinata, and Tanaka? I love thems. 🥴💖🐇

All three of them bite you fs, its out of love and a wait to irritate you.

Fluffy HC's and some scenarios !!

Bokuto Kōtarō

Wants to go bird watching with you, as a fun little date

Learns from Akaashi that you cannot feed them bread, especially ducks.

Devasted, he planned on buying at least 10 loaves of bread from a local bakery.

Sits outside your house waiting for you to finish getting ready

his hair is deflated since he's come empty-handed

while walking to the park you quickly notice the change in demeanor, his bubbly nature is reduced to short responses, and stares at the local pigeons nudging pebbles.

You reassure him that it is okay, and cup his hand, pouring birdseed into his palm and kissing his cheek.

Bokuto's heart stops and he falls in love with you all over again.

Moves his face so you lock lips, cups your cheeks and closes his eyes.

You do not realize until after you feel crumbs of seed on your face, pushing him away in anger.

"BABY I PAID FOR THAT!!!"

"WHOOOOPSSS"

Continues to smooch you even as birds begin to crowd, eating the food that fell onto the concrete.

One time during practice, the managers started hogging you.

Now he isn't EASILY jealous but, you were BASICALLY IGNORING HIM!!! (he did not see you for 5 minutes).

Rambles to Akaashi how the always take you away and it isn't fair

He's YOUR boyfriend

why should they get all the attention?? Yes, you are amazing but he doesn't want to share!!!!

Hinata Shoyo

After practice he picks you flowers, even if he gets scolded by the gardeners and his teammates. He cannot bring himself to stop.

Pretty flowers remind him of his pretty s/o.

Play fights with you, very aggressive, it starts out as a poke and ends up into a full brawl on the floor.

You're pinning him down and tickling his stomach and he's had enough

switches position and while you are on the ground he bites your nose.

"OWWWWWW"

"oh sorry let me kiss it better (Y/n)."

IT WAS A RUSE HE JUST BIT YOU AGAIN

You harshly stab his stomach with your finger and he topples over laughing and groaning in pain.

"It wasn't even that hard Sho..."

"YES IT WAS I THINK MY KIDNEYS WERE MOVED!!!"

"Want me to kiss it better?"

Before he relents, Hinata remembers what he had just done to you earlier.

"NO!!!!"

Kageyama thinks you're a distracting but good influence.

Uses you to his advantage

You motivate Hinata, he performs better when you are around.

(Whole team is super appreciative)

Hinata is into physical affection and quality time

holds your hand, bag, shirt, jacket, anything he can get his hands on truly.

I don't think he is super good with words, but if you enjoy compliments he'll shower you in them, he knows how good it feels to be praised and wants to show you that love.

Gifts you trinkets

Wraps himself around you any chance he gets, swinging your arms while you walk down the hallway holding hands

Offers piggy back rides (HE IS AN EXPERT!!!! He has a younger sister and she taught him the best techniques).

Licks your cheek because it catches you off guard.

Races your friends to get a seat next to you at lunch

Begs you to feed him when his body is particularly sore, or he is just affectionate.

Usually just an excuse to stare at you and get special treatment

Tsukishima cannot believe Hinata pulled you

Hinata's been harboring a crush for years

You stumbled into the gym one day and was captivated by his performance, ever since then you've been his number one fan.

Tanaka Ryūnosuke

Stares at you in awe

Brags about you to his sister and all his friends

introduces you as the love of his life.

Kiyoko is in love with you

she thinks you are gorgeous

tries to steal you away and convinces you to become a manager whenever Tanaka isn't around (rarely)

Tanaka's glued to your side

He knows how to cook since he does it often to feed his sister or for himself whenever she's running late from work.

Cooks your meals, he loves the domestic feel of it

You help Tanaka study in return

rewarding him with questions for every question he gets right

Tanaka is secretly good at massages

Makes out with you behind the school

got caught a couple of times

Tanaka asked if he could be your boyfriend

none of this "Do you want to be my s/o" nonsense!!!!

Immediate swooning.

The werewolf chronicles

<---Previous

Part III

Shoyo is definitely competitive, but he's usually reasonable, except when he's trying to defeat Kageyama; it's kinda fun to compete against him.

It actually doesn't matter if it's volleyball or not, they're always trying to prove who's better. So when the team starts running in order to exercise a little, both of them turn it into a competition and forget about the others.

However, it usually surprises Shoyo when he notices that Kageyama tries not to use his werewolf abilities in order to defeat the orange haired human; he's usually trying to compete against him like any other human would.

Which is kinda nice, although it's not like Shoyo is going to admit it out loud.

That particular morning their obsession with competing takes to Shiratorizawa. And that's how they meet the intimidating captain of the team.

Of course he's a werewolf too and a very tall one. Kageyama recognizes him first actually.

"That's Ushijima." He grumbles, looking upset already. "A prime alpha."

Shoyo would like to remind Kageyama that his werewolf terms mean nothing to him because he doesn't know anything about them. But he knows that whatever "prime alpha" means, it makes Kageyama feel irritated.

"Is that something good or bad?"

"It's... good," the young setter admits like the word hurts him. It must be something really good then because Kageyama sucks at complimenting other people.

Right before arriving at the school, Ushijima notices them and stops before turning to face them.

"Are you an omega?"

Kageyama growls even though he's not the one Ushijima is talking to; he's looking down at Shoyo with a curious expression on his face.

Sometimes it makes him feel ashamed to admit he doesn't know a lot about werewolves because he's part of a team of them, but when he tried to learn about it, Sugawara gave him a book and that's when Shoyo lost interest, if he's being honest.

He tilts his head to the side and wonders if it's an insult or not, but decides that it mustn't since he has also heard Sawamura talk about omegas often.

"I'm not a werewolf," he finally says.

"You smell like an omega," Ushijima comments and Shoyo considers yet again if he's being insulted or not. "I like your scent."

The human is even more confused now, but he doesn't say anything to that because Kageyama is getting more and more irritated.

"We're from Karasuno!" He blurts out instead, to which Ushijima narrows his eyes.

"Concrete," he utters the word and now Shoyo knows they're being insulted.

"Are you pouting?"

"I'm scowling!" Shoyo frowns, glaring at Kageyama.

"That's what you call a scowl?"

"Are you on my side or not?"

He's not sure why Ushijima invites them inside, but they walk in Shiratorizawa, marveling at every single thing they see. When they reach the gym; Shoyo gets excited at the sound of sport shoes making contact with the floor and the ball bouncing back and forth.

When someone hits the ball and accidentally is propelled through the door, Shoyo rushes towards it at the same time as Ushijima and jumps so high he manages to catch it before Shiratorizawa's captain does.

"I'm Hinata Shoyo, from concrete," he says as he hands the ball back. "And I'm going to defeat you."

Instead of getting angry, Ushijima smiles, just a little bit, and leans forward. He takes the ball in one hand and uses the other to take Shoyo's wrist; he would be worried if it wasn't because the grip is actually very gentle.

He knows Ushijima is not trying to hurt him. However, he certainly doesn't understand what's going on or why Kageyama looks like he's about to start punching Shiratorizawa's captain. Shoyo hopes he doesn't because they'll get in trouble if he does.

His cheeks turn slightly pink when he feels Ushijima's thumb drawing a few circles on his wrist, right over his pulse.

"Oi, he was already scented!" Kageyama hisses, pulling Shoyo away from the other werewolf.

"I know he has a pack, but he doesn't have a mate yet, I can tell," Ushijima retorts, narrowing his eyes at the setter.

Ugh. Mate. Another word Shoyo doesn't understand.

"Give me your answer after the match, Hinata Shoyo."

"Okay," he blurts out, even though he has no idea what Shiratorizawa's captain is talking about. Besides, he doesn't even have the time to ask anyway because Kageyama is already carrying him over his shoulder and running away from the other werewolf.

Another weird day.

***

Fortunately, his teammates decide to explain everything to him.

Kageyama doesn't even have to say anything because as soon as he leaves Shoyo back in their own gym, the whole Karasuno team surrounds him.

Sawamura takes his arm and glares at Shoyo's wrist; he has no idea what he's exactly staring at because the human can't see anything at all.

"Who was it?" Sugawara asks.

"Ushijima," Kageyama growls the name like the other werewolf is his archenemy or something.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?" Shoyo pouts and this time he's aware he's doing that.

"Ushijima wants to fu–" Tsukishina gets abruptly interrupted when Yamaguchi covers his mouth.

"He means Ushijima wants to court you."

"Court?"

Sugawara rolls his eyes at Shoyo's confused expression.

"He wants to go on dates with you."

"Oh," Shoyo blurts out because he doesn't know what to say. He's sure he's completely red. No one has ever been interested in him before. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Sawamura nods, although he doesn't look happy about it. "He left a bit of his scent on your wrist. It's how it's done among werewolves. Although I do think you're too young for that."

"What was your answer?" Yamaguchi asks, genuinely curious.

"He said I could give him an answer after our match."

"And what are you going to tell him?" Kageyama asks. He looks so pissed, although Shoyo is not sure why.

"I don't know," he mumbles sincerely. The whole werewolf thing is very confusing for him. He needs to think about it for a couple of days at least, he doesn't even know how he feels.

"Tch!" Kageyama hisses and turns around to start practicing on his own.

He stops talking to Shoyo after that, even though he still tosses the ball to him. Shoyo is not sure why he's so mad out of the sudden. Sugawara tells him to give Kageyama some space for now.
