#its the same way that i adore other stiles/scott ships but never at the expense of their relationship with each other

[theheightofdishonor]

there’s this trope in atsu/hina and oi/hina fics where hinata’s like “wow, you’re the first setter who i don’t have to beg to set to me” and it really rubs me the wrong way because it’s always a dig at Kageyama. 

Like fuck off with that bullshit, acting like Kageyama doesn’t want to set for Hinata. As if Atsumu and Oikawa didn’t both figure out in minutes that Hinata’s his go-to spiker. As if Kageyama doesn’t want to give Hinata the ball, even when it’s smarter to use someone else. As if he didn’t go out of his way to learn the falling set just so he can give Hinata the toss he wanted. 

He’s only refused to set for Hinata (2) times in the entire series and both of those times, he ended up setting to him anyway,  of his own violation without Hinata pleading. 

I just find it the most uncharitable interpretation of the freak duo’s dynamic. Kageyama didn’t set to Hinata at Youth Camp (when Hinata wasn’t even there) for yall to act like that’s not his favourite spiker, his best friend, the person he always wants to toss to. Plus, Hinata is too perceptive to ever hold anything like that as some mark against him or whatever. Even when they’re not in a romantic relationship, they’re still bffs, they still get each other like no one else and more importantly, they’re always on each other’s side and it’s petty and in poor taste to diminish the strength of their relationship for the sake of another
