Oikawa sighed and put his phone away in his pocket. He pouted to himself as he changed out of his training uniform, gathered his things, left the locker room, and met up with Iwaizumi at the gym’s exit door.

The pair began to leave the school campus. The sky was already tinted with warm hues that can only be produced by sunsets. They could have left sooner if Oikawa had not been on his phone for so long. However, Oikawa was still silent, which was concerning. Iwaizumi turned to see his friend pouting.

“What’s up? Why’re you pouting?” Iwaizumi raised his eyebrows at him.

“Iwa-chan~, I want a cute Karasuno kouhai,” Oikawa whined.

The ace furrowed his eyebrows even more.

“I was talking to the captains in other schools, and they told me how they all have kouhai in Karasuno,” Oikawa explained.

“Don’t you have Kageyama, though?” Iwaizumi countered.

Oikawa’s face twisted in disgust, “Tobio-chan isn’t cute.”

“You’re not cute, Kusokawa,” Iwaizumi muttered to himself.

Oikawa didn’t reply. He only pondered of ways he can possibly recruit one of the younger Karasuno players. Iwaizumi wondered what Oikawa could possibly be thinking about, and if he would have to prevent Oikawa from doing something that could perhaps be considered a felony.

As the pair reached Oikawa’s house, they began to say goodbye to each other and separate.

“Ah, wait! Iwa-chan!” Oikawa called for his friend.

Iwaizumi turned around, “Yeah?”

“I’m not gonna be home until later in the afternoon tomorrow,” Oikawa responded.

Iwaizumi raised his eyebrows, “What are you planning to do?”

Oikawa winked, smiled cheekily, and stuck his tongue out, “Nothing you should be concerned about, Iwa-chan.”

Iwaizumi only felt dread, “You better not get in trouble, Kusokawa. I don’t feel like getting in trouble with Karasuno’s captain.”

Oikawa made himself appear confused, “Why would you assume I’m going to Karasuno?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, Kusokawa. You’re easy for me to read,” Iwaizumi scowled. “Bye.”

Oikawa widened his eyes, but smiled to himself afterwards. He should’ve known Iwaizumi wouldn’t see past him.

The next day was a day off for all Aoba Johsai students, and there was no practice for the school’s volleyball club, either. Oikawa was going to spend his free day observing the Karasuno volleyball team. He stood outside the school building, but had no idea where the team practices. Perhaps he didn’t think this plan out very well.

Oikawa spotted a girl that was walking towards the building, and decided that she might not become very suspicious of him.

“Excuse me?” Oikawa called for her.

The girl lifted her head, and her eyes widened.

“Sorry, but could a lovely lady such as yourself direct me to where the volleyball team practices?” Oikawa spoke with a smooth voice and gave her a charming smile. The girl began to blush intensely, and adjust the ribbons in her red hair. She was baited.

“O-oh, um…they practice in the second gym…I think,” she stuttered.

“Ah, I don’t know where that is, I’m afraid. Can you take me there? I’m new here, so I still get lost,” Oikawa smiled sheepishly and put his hand on the back of his head.

“Of course!” The girl responded, perhaps a bit too eagerly.

“Thank you. You’re very kind,” Oikawa gave her another one of his plastic, yet charming smiles.

He was escorted to the gym by the tiny, blushing girl. After waving goodbye and expressing his gratitude again, he began to look through the window of the gym. He found them.

The team was playing a 6 on 6 against each other. Oikawa watched intently as the players used the same tricks they used against them in their Spring High match. The setter couldn’t help but scowl. He had to remind himself that he came here on a different mission without malicious intentions.

“Oikawa-san?”

Oikawa stiffened, and turned to his left to see Sawamura standing at the entrance to the gym. Oikawa gave an actual sheepish smile, “Oh… Hi, Sawamura-kun.”

“Just come in. Your legs are going to get tired,” Sawamura sighed.

Oikawa gave his thanks and walked inside. Some of the players turned to see him, and they wore astonished looks on their faces. The small redhead had the most hilarious reaction to him, letting out what sounded like a squawk and slightly trembling.

“Yaho~, Chibi-chan,” Oikawa grinned at him. The small boy only looked at him incredulously and put his hands up. The setter was surprised. He didn’t think he was that intimidating.

“Relax, I’m just here to talk to you,” Oikawa laughed a bit. The redhead calmed himself down a bit.

“You’re an impressive player, you know,” Oikawa gave him a genuine compliment. He always found the tiny middle blocker interesting and fun to watch, and he has wondered what tossing to him would be like.

The boy stood speechless with his mouth agape. What a meaningful conversation!

Oikawa tried again, “I’d really like to set for you one day, if you’re interested.”

The boy suddenly stood up straight, “I-I’m sorry, Daiou-sama… I already have a senpai and he’d grow depressed if I were to leave him.”

“Seriously? Who?” Oikawa furrowed his eyebrows.

“Bokuto Koutarou, the ace from Fukurodani. He’s so cool! He’s one of the top five spikers in all of Japan!” The redhead exclaimed. Oikawa was now the one to have an incredulous look on his face. He hopes Bokuto won’t find out about this encounter.

“Ah, I see. My apologies, Chibi-chan,” Oikawa smiled.

The redhead waved his hands and tried to tell him that he didn’t need to do so. Oikawa stiffened a bit when he turned to see the grey haired setter glaring at him. He felt chills going down his spine. Who knew Mr. Refreshing could be so scary…

Oikawa turned to see the tall, blond middle blocker looking at him. When the boy met eyes with the setter, he quickly looked away. He wasn’t the type of kouhai he had in mind, but he decided to try anyway.

“Now, now. There’s no need to be shy,” Oikawa walked up to him and smiled. This boy was taller than him, which pissed him off a bit.

“Excuse me, Oikawa-san, but I wasn’t trying to get your attention,” the blond responded with a blank face.

“Hm, I’d like to talk to you, though. You’re a pretty good blocker. I saw you block Ushiwaka,” Oikawa noted.

“Ah, thanks. I was training with a captain in another school. He’s a middle blocker, like me,” the blond replied.

“You have a senpai, too?” Oikawa was surprised.

“Hm? Yes, his name is Kuroo Tetsurou. He’s from Nekoma.”

The blond continued to talk, “Oikawa-san, I know you don’t want me as your kouhai. Frankly, the feeling is mutual. Even if you did, I already have enough senpais that drive me mad. Please stop trying to flatter me.”

Oikawa scowled, “You’re not cute at all.”

The blond middle blocker smiled and put his hand behind his back, “Thank you.”

Oikawa let out a “tch”, and met eyes with Kageyama. The first year setter was staring at him with a puzzled expression.

“I’m not interested in you Tobio-chan,” Oikawa glared at him.

Kageyama blinked, “Ok.”

“So don’t even think that I am, or ever will be.”

“Ok.”

“Yeah, you’ll never receive any of my help ever again. I’m not your senpai anymore. I want to crush you next time we play, whenever that may be,” Oikawa grinned evilly at him.

Kageyama blinked again, still unfazed, “Ok.”

Oikawa sighed and went up to the Karasuno captain, who was talking to Mr. Refreshing.

“Excuse me? Heh…Sorry, Sawamura-kun,” Oikawa smiled sheepishly.

“No problem, Oikawa-san. These kids are quite difficult, anyway,” Sawamura smiled and slapped Oikawa’s arm. Meanwhile, Mr. Refreshing was wearing a terribly frightening smile on his face.

“Don’t you dare harass my kids ever again,” the grey haired setter spoke in a low tone, chilling Oikawa down to the bone. The Karasuno captain and his vice, he learned, were not to be messed with.

Oikawa gave up, and walked solemnly to the stairs at the entrance of the gym. He sat down, and stared off into space. He was looking forward to have a cute Karasuno kouhai. Despite their teams’ differences, he thought he could take one under his wing and teach him some skills. He didn’t really have any kouhai that he was close enough to in Aoba Johsai, and he’s never had any in Kitagawa Dai-ichi. He was jealous of the other captains for having kouhais like the ones he’s desired to have. Well, he wasn’t jealous of Kuroo…

The setter pulled out his phone and was ready to text Iwaizumi that he’s coming home when he heard a voice behind him.

“Um, excuse me?” A boy with brown hair and freckles half-mumbled, looking very nervous.

“Oh, sorry,” Oikawa quickly moved over in order to let the boy through. Oikawa didn’t recognize him, so he assumed he wasn’t a starter for the team.

“Excuse me! Are you a first year?” Oikawa called for the boy, who turned around to face him.

“Oh, um…yeah,” The boy nodded.

Oikawa recalled the Spring High tournament, and the nervous Karasuno pinch server that finally got the hang of his jump float serve. He recognized the boy now.

“You’re the pinch server, aren’t you?” Oikawa gave him a warm smile. The boy widened his eyes and nodded.

“You played well at that last match we played, I have to admit. You’ll surely get better over time, since you’re only a first year,” Oikawa complimented him. “Well, good luck. Bye-bye!” Oikawa began to walk away.

“Wait!”

The setter turned around, shocked.

“I-I really admire the way you serve, O-Oikawa-san. Your jump serves are very impressive-well, everything about the way you play is impressive, actually,” The freckled boy stammered.

Oikawa stared at him with wide eyes and an agape mouth. He began to smile fondly at the boy.

“I can teach you, if you want.”

The freckled boy looked at him with a surprised look on his face. “Would you really do that?”

Oikawa gave him a genuine smile, “Yeah, we can exchange numbers and decide when we can meet.”

The freckled boy bowed, leaving Oikawa taken aback. “Thank you so much, Oikawa-senpai! I’ll be in your care!”

Oikawa patted his shoulder, smiling at him fondly. The boy straightened himself.

“What’s your name?” Oikawa asked him.

“Yamaguchi Tadashi,” the boy responded.

“Yamaguchi Tadashi…” the setter echoed, trying to get a feel of the name.

The setter took out his phone, “Can we exchange contacts, Tadashi-kun?”

“O-Oh, of course,” Yamaguchi stuttered and gave Oikawa his phone.

They exchanged contacts, and gave each other’s phone back.

“Bye-bye, Tadashi-kun!” Oikawa smiled and waved goodbye. He received a wave in return.

As he walked out of the school building, he unlocked his phone and opened his contact list. He found the new contact and smiled.

“Yeah, he will do.”

i know im late but hbd oiks!!!! this is something i’ve been wanting to write for a while now, but i tweaked quite a bit bc i kinda want to write some of the idea into a full length fic some time later. also, this is also in hinata’s pov, sth i decided on the last minute.  

title: pretty young thing

summary: kageyama has been real acting weird lately. hinata just wants to know why. 

you could also read them on ao3! https://archiveofourown.org/works/19895578

hinata doesn’t know how he knows, he just does. he doesn’t even know why he even he thought of it in the first place. it irritates him that he doesn’t even know what exactly is going on but he knows this: kageyama has been weird lately.

“how weird, hinata-kun?”

yachi enquires whilst bringing her drink, strawberry latte, to her lips. yachi has always liked sweet stuffs, hinata notes. they’re gathered in a quaint café in town, just after everyone has finished their lectures. it’s only him and kageyama that go to the same university, under sports scholarship. the rest of them are pursuing different majors in different universities. still, they make it a point to meet at least once a week to catch up. it was hinata who brought it up first, antsy of not knowing what the rest of them are up to. yachi readily agreed, her camera bouncing along with her in excitement. yamaguchi too, seemed pleased with the idea. kageyama and tsukishima being kageyama and tsukishima naturally declined on autopilot.

“i’m gonna be a real fucking menace if you’re not going to join the weekly meet up, assholes.”

“aren’t you already one now?”

“just how much more of a menace can you be, hinata?”

safe to say, the convincing wasn’t easy. it took threats of bodily harm and loud shrieking as well as the promise to haunt them in their dreams that the two reluctantly agreed.

“it’s the king, he’s always weird.” tsukishima muses, shrugging his shoulders while stirring his straw in his drink. “you’re wasting all of our time if it’s about the precious king and his weirdness we’re going to scrutinize right now.”

hinata grimaces; he pushes his unfinished chocolate cake to the side and leans forward. “i’m telling you! he’s been weird as hell. he comes back late even though practice ended early, he’s almost always on his phone and- and get this!” he looks around the café hesitantly, as if he’s not careful enough, the subject of their conversation will materialize in front of them and strangle him. “he smiles often now!” hinata shudders.

tsukishima snorts. “so kageyama being happy is foreign to you?”

“you know how scary his smile is!”

yachi stifles a laugh behind her palm. “i’m sure kageyama-kun is fine, maybe he’s just busy and has a lot to do?” she cuts a portion of the cholocate cake that hinata has pushed aside and brings it to her mouth. “plus, you know how engrossed he is when he watches volleyball videos.”

“but it’s different!” hinata argues, eyebrows drawn tight, like he’s exasperated and puzzled about the new side he’s seeing of kageyama. “it really is!”

yamaguchi scratches his nose. “maybe he’s just seeing someone?” it’s the first time since they’ve arrived that yamaguchi offers a thought.

“HAAAAAAAAAAA?”

yamaguchi winces at the sound. tsukishima clicks his tounge, annoyed. yachi is so surprised by the sudden sound that her drink sloshes and spills on the table. trust hinata and his capability to be loud and not mind whatever environment that they’re in.

“bakayama? seeing someone? him?” he knows he sound incredulous, voice notching higher at every question he’s thrown but he can’t help it. it’s kageyama we’re talking about. that guy would not even spare you a second glance if you’re not his close friends or his teammates or anything that’s not related to volleyball. he doesn’t even know if kageyama has even thought of relationships or some sort! that guy is too narrow-minded on volleyball to be thinking about anything else. it’s just weird.

tsukishima lets out a pained groan and continues to wipe the strawberry latte that spilled on the table. “even if that is the case, what’s the problem?”

“it’s impossible. i’ve never seen kageyama with a girl before!”

yachi hums, “maybe it’s not a girl?”

-

hinata doesn’t know what’s going on but he knows this: he’s going to get to the bottom of it. if kageyama is really seeing someone, why doesn’t he know about it? whyis kageyama being secretive about it? they’ve shared everything! well. maybe kageyama doesn’t, and it’s just him babbling about anything and everything under the sun to his unwilling ears, but still! they’re best friends, aren’t they? oh my god. are they not?

no. they are best friends, hinata just needs to give him space. that’s what yamaguchi advised few days ago at the café anyway. “if he’s not ready to tell us, then best to not push him. he’ll come around eventually won’t he?”

but it’s just so weird! even now, as he makes his way to the address that tanaka-senpai texted earlier for a get together with the old karasuno team, kageyama is not going there with him. they’re roommates for god’s sake! they’re almost always do things together, and now kageyama won’t even go to gatherings with thim.

“i’m going first. i’ll meet you there.” is what kageyama had told him at 5pm. hinata didn’t have it in him then to comment that the get together is at 9pm. he also didn’t comment on the fact that kageyama had dressed up real nice. a crisp blue button down, sleeves rolled up and black pants. it’s weird; at their gatherings, he’d always wear his joggers.

wait.

hinata momentarily stops in his steps.

is kageyama mad at him? he knew he should’ve washed the dishes earlier. is that it? or is it because of the mountain of laundry that he time after time again, promised to fold but didn’t? is that it? hinata gasps. is it because he didn’t receive his tosses as good lately?

he starts walking again.

no, no, that couldn’t be it. kayegama would’ve already screamed in his ear if he’s been sloppy during practice. he’s so preoccupied with his thoughts that he doesn’t realize he’s bumped into a warm body in front of him. “ah, i’m so sor- sugawara-san!”

“hinata! it’s so good to see you.” sugawara is always full of smiles and warmth.

“i’ve missed you, sugawara-san. it’s been too long.” hinata says, pretending to sniffle. “it’s been hard without the senpais.”

sugawara laughs and slaps hinata’s back lightly. “you’re in university already, hinata. of course we wouldn’t be there with you physically.”

“also, didn’t we meet just last month at your match against chuo university?” sugawara says and he clasps both of hinata’s shoulders and pushes him inside of the restaurant.

“oh, yes, yes we did.” hinata nods and whistles. “grand king was ruthless, huh. kageyama was so fired up during the match, it was insane. did you see his serves? he was amazing.”

before sugawara could reply, there was a loud bang to their right. “OIIIIII HINATA, SUGAWARA-SAN, OVER HERE. OVER HERE.”

if there was anybody who is louder than hinata, it’s tanaka. no, scratch that, it’s tanaka andnishinoya. when the three of them joins forces, everyone is advised to please bring their earpieces with them to block the sound out.

“TANAKA-SENPAI.” ah, here we go. sugawara sighs fondly.

hinata jogs to the table where most of his high school teammates are with sugawara trailing behind him. “oh! there’s iwaizumi-san too! hello.”

iwaizumi nods. “we’re celebrating oikawa’s birthday then we bumped into the rest of karasuno, so we thought, why not join and eat together?”

hinata takes his seat beside tanaka, sandwhiching himself in between tanaka and nishinoya. “oh? it’s grand king’s birthday today?”

“where is he?” daichi asks, picking apart the cucumbers in his dish and putting it aside.

the guy, hinata doesn’t remember his name, the one in aoba johsai’s team, machi? momo? matsukawa? sighs exasperatedly. “he says he’s going to be late. it’s his birthday we’re celebrating; can you believe he’s late to his own birthday celebration? the nerve of that guy.”

another one that hinata doesn’t remember but knows he was a third year with oikawa, iwaizumi and the previous guy, mitsu? maki? hums. “he’s been weird lately, don’t you think?”

this time, it is nishinoya who questions: “how weird?”

hinata thinks his name is maki. maki sighs. “i don’t know. he’s just… weird. i don’t know how to explain it. it’s not like his form his deteriorating, in fact, he’s better? he’s just so competitive and fired up lately during our volleyball practices and matches. like… like’s he’s in this some sort of weird competition with somebody, always wanting to prove something to someone.”

matsu, hinata thinks its matsu, agrees. “come to think of it, he doesn’t hang out with us as much lately, don’t you think? he’s always running off somewhere.”

“oh! he’s always on his phone too!” maki chimes in, a chopstick at his chin, as if he’s in deep thought. “he buys milk lately too, he doesn’t even drinkmilk.”

hinata may not be smart. but, the gears in his mind is turning very fast to process all this new information about their supposed ex-captain of their high school rival. before he could ask, “grand king is behaving weird too?” he was cut by loud gasp from the both of them.

“what do you think, iwaizumi? he’s weird, isn’t he? is he ok? he’s been engrossed in aliens isn’t he? is he- is he…”

“abducted? and a clone is replacing him?”

tsukishima snickers from beside yamaguchi. “ah, how foolish.” that comment makes hinata more perplexed. is there something he doesn’t know? well, it’s obvious that there’s somethingwrong. it’s long wide before his eyes go wide and he stammers out, “they’ve been poisoned, haven’t they! that’s why they’re so weird! you know, kageyama is weird too!”

iwaizumi doesn’t know how long he could keep up with this. his headache is threatening to form whenever he’s surrounded with idiots. “even if i have my suspicions on that guy, i’m not going to say it.”

“what, why?” the three of them whines. no, five of them. he could hear nishinoya’s and tanaka’s voices weaving through.

“ah, speaking of the devils.” tsukishima smirks, nodding at the entrance of the restaurant. true enough, oikawa enters the restaurant with kageyama behind him. oikawa waves cheerily at the table. “oh my, is everyone here going to celebrate my birthday? how generous!”

iwaizumi rolls his eyes. “thank you, your highness. for finally gracing us peasants with your presence. it’s not like we’ve been waiting a long time; no. we have not.”

“why iwa-chan! a king is never late. it’s always the servants that’s early, don’t you think?”

hinata notes that grand king is dressed real nice too. a cream silk shirt, with two tops unbutton that lets everyone see his gold chains. his black dress pants hug his legs nicely too. hinata furrows his eyebrows. it’s just so weird. hinata finds it more puzzling when instead of sitting beside him, like he always does, kageyama is sitting at the end of the shared table, next to sugawara. it’s even more weird when oikawa takes the seat in front of kageyama, besides maki. doesn’t he always sit next to iwaizumi? his head hurts with all this confusion. it has to be the aliens, right? he’s heard all about the area 51 lately. he shudders and prays the aliens will give the old kageyama back.

“how come you’re together?” this time, it is asahi who asks.

“it’s just a coincidence. we bumped into each other along the way.” is what oikawa replies.

ah, whatever. he could think about all of this later. maybe when the drinks are already in his system and he’s out of it, he could ask kageyama about it. kageyama can’t hit him if he asks him when he’s drunk, right? he’s innocent and defenseless! “let’s drink up for grand king’s birthday!”

series of congratulations and clinks of glasses fill the air.

-

the tables are rowdy with two teams sharing stories and cracking jokes.

hinata is buzzed, he feels good, he feels light.

he feels even better when he remembers that kageyama is a lightweight. it’s a surprise to everyone when they first had a drink together, seeing kageyama swaying side to side, dazed, just after his second cup. it’s not much of a surprise that he has less of a filter when he’s sober. it is, however, disconcerting to discover that kageyama basically just compliments everyone when he’s drunk. in a kageyama way, of course. but a compliment is a compliment, right? even more so when it comes from kageyama, someone who is so awkward he could make a baby cry by just looking at them.

when kageyama first complimented tanaka on his drunken haze, tanaka was so shocked, he nearly cried. “you’re such a good energy to the team, tanaka-senpai.”

“i really don’t get why you’re bald, though. aren’t you still young? where’s your hair?” asahi and sugawara had to physically hold tanaka back from kicking him, fires in his eyes.

“pick one, you asshole! are you complementing me or insulting me.”

kageyama only blinked at him in return.

and now, hinata is pretty sure that kageyama is drunk because he has been complimenting maki and matsu. giggling at the thought of scouring information from kageyama himself about this whole weird situation, he feels refreshed. more courageous. he psyches himself up. he can do this.

the rest of the tables are minding their own business mingling around with each other, hinata learns. so it’s his chance to bring the attention to kageyama and get the answer to all of this!

when he turns over his left to where kageyama is, he giggles when he finds kageyama’s face is flushed. eyes daze, lightly swaying. his giggles stop when he sees kageyama staring at oikawa. ah, hinata thinks. he’s going to compliment the grand king, huh. well, it can’t be helped. hinata supposes even when you’re rivals, complimenting him on his birthday wouldn’t hurt, right?

he snickers and turns away from them to chug down his drink and give kageyama the time for his drunk-compliment. kageyama is probably going to compliment him on his serve, or how good the game was last month, or. hinata doesn’t think kageyama will ask him to teach to serve, again, right? he knows he’s drunk, but even then, kageyama wouldn’t be that idiotic, right?

instead of all those, what he hears are: “you’re pretty oikawa-san. you’re really pretty. really really really pretty.”

WAIT.

PAUSE.

REWIND.

for a moment, he thinks he’s got a whiplash from how fast he turns to his left. what he sees sends his mind reeling. there, on the far end of the table, is dazed kageyama, is drunk kageyama, is breathless kageyama, leaning forward to place a chaste kiss on oikawa’s lips.

WAIT.

WAIT.

WHAT IS GOING ON.

hinata opens his mouth to yell. closes it. opens it again, saying absolutely nothing. far too stunned to say anything for the first time in a long time. when he comes back to himself, he whirls around the table to see if anyone else is seeing what he’s seeing. but nobody besides himself is paying attention. he even wonders if oikawa is alright with his rival just casually kissing him and calling him pretty?! hinata feels a headache incoming. should- should he help kageyama? what if he’s just embarrassing himself and oikawa is going to humiliate him later, infront of everyone else? his heart beats too loud for himself to think. he has to help kageyama, he has to, he has-

but when he turns back to the two, kageyama is already longingly looking up at oikawa. he has his head leaned on his outstretched arms on the table, half of his upper body relaxing on top of the table. he’d never thought kageyama could look like that at anyone. he faintly hears kageyama mutters a “happy birthday, oikawa-san.”

as soon as kageyama wishes him, oikawa scoffs fondly. “just how many times are you going to congratulate me, tobio?”

hinata cocks his head to the left. huh, there’s no –chan?

for some time now, he knows he shouldn’t be intruding. but he doesn’t know why can’t bring himself to look away. especially when oikawa threads his fingers in kageyama’s and smiling softly down at him. hinata finally forces himself to look away when oikawa caresses kageyama’s cheek and dipping down to kiss him.

“you understand now?” a gruff voice asks him. hinata searches for the face of that voice. it’s iwaizumi.

oh.

it makes sense, now that hinata thinks it back.

one, kageyama is never in a bad mood whenever they have a match with chuo’s university, not even when he’s lost.

two, kageyama doesn’t come back to their apartment one night, and when he comes to morning practice the next day, he is wearing this hideous mint shorts that could not possibly belongs to him. just who the hell decided to go to the store and buy mint-colored anything? its outrages if you ask hinata.

three, he’s just generally in a good mood lately. he mentally takes back the comment about how his smile is scary.

four, he’s somehow interested in planetariums and aliens? hinata found it really weird when he accidentally stumbled upon kageyama’s open laptop and tokyo’s planetarium website flashes on.

five, he once heard kageyama asked yachi, in hushed whispers, what to do when he doesn’t quite like this person latching on this other person. hinata rolled his eyes then, and asking him if he was jealous. the blush on kageyama’s face should’ve been a dead giveaway, then. he isn’t sure why he didn’t pick it up at the time.

he thinks he understands now. kageyama’s not being weird. he’s just. in love.

Also in the drama cd, Yachi gets into her overworrying mode and tsukki tries to cheer her up, but she gets even more worried ; then yama swoops in and says the same thing as tsukki and yachi immediately feels better and thanks yama ! and that one scene before the shiratorizawa match where they both freak out together after yachi tries to calm yamaguchi and yams is just concerned about yachi’s heart more than himself :> i think my fave moment was when yams cheered yachi up and takeda’s like “looks like yams is most likely to get married” ;; there’s just something about their awkward nervousness around each other that’s really really cute ;; hc that their first date is just a bundle of nerves and fluff aah !!

2. terudai

idk why i but im really digging this ship ; something abt how daichi could be the one to tame teru, but like in a fluffy way ? does that even make sense oops its kinda like the whole opposites attract thing aha

like daichi is grounded, responsible and v caring while teru is wild, carefree and exciting and they both kind of have what the other needs ; daichi brings teru down to earth n treats him w so so much respect and teru gives daichi a bit of fun and adventure ! hc that daichi is the one that teru will settle down w and forget his playboy days x

3. oiyama

oiyama is definitely a favorite bc i feel like they would bond over both being pinch servers n swapping serving techniques despite being on rival teams ?? idk n i feel like yams definitely knows how it feels like to try so hard n not succeed, so he would always be there to cheer oiks up after his losses ;; yama is also a mom-in-training so he would make sure oiks doesn’t overwork himself !!

4. shirayaha

Oof okay i recently read a really good fic that swayed my opinion of this ship,, i rlly like the idea of the second year setters (n second gen captains) having this rivalry that eventually turns into a relationship ?? idk i just love rival! ships (cough kagehina) ;; also i can kinda just see shirabu n yahaba making fun of their senpais and keeping the ‘you shouldve come to shiratorizawa’ joke alive ;

5. levyachi

the height difference aah !! i recently had a conversation with a friend about this ship, and i posed the question, 'how would they hold hands w/o lev just dragging yachi along?’ n they were like no lev would just carry her !! and i thought that was the cutest thing and now I need fanart oops

Bonus:

YamaYamaYamaYamaYamaYamaYamaYama

aka Kageyama, Yamaguchi, Yamagata, Yamamoto, Higashiyama, Hanayama, Yamato n Shibayama

spoiler alert: its just for the ship name aha

I enjoy rarepairs. But ennotana, tananoya, ushiten, and bunch of iwaships are close to my heart.

Rarepairs and people who support and love rarepairs are strong-spirited people no kidding. Thank you for the suggestion, though Tanaka would always be a good senpai to me that I’d enjoy brotp from him more than romantic ships so no to the tanaships. Ushiten sounds interesting and I’ve seen an art with grown-up Tendou with young mafia master!Ushi that really caught my eyes. Really hope there’s fic with similar content. 

And sorry for not being able to share your joy with iwaships, especially when I am a super iwa lover. I am very iwaoi-exclusive that I have problem truly enjoy any ship including only one of the iwaoi pair. (Though I have to admit that Kuroo has come so close to get my permission for taking care of my precious hedgehog son but still not succeed yet. Maybe in a world where Oiks doesn’t exist than Kuroo would just make it.)
