#y’all saw my cat king rant right?

[philsmeatylegss]

The absolute monopoly Neil Gaiman has on this website sometimes frightens me. That man just knows he needs some funky little gay fantasy characters in a slow burn with a quirky queer side character or two and he’s trending for weeks.

[shhhlikeme]

I HAVE A REQUEST!! i saw you were a new writer and decided to help start you off sort of🥺i’ve never requested anything before so please bear with me. maybe kageyama (literally love him) with a genius setter gf just like him👀 i literally have no plot but if you need one i can try and come up with one 😭😭

Kageyama x His Ultimate Setter Dream Girl ✨

———————————

A/N: Thank you sooo much for requesting and helping me start off!! I definitely do not need a plot it’s optional on your part so what you sent is perf! Kageyama is lowkey bae so I hope you like it!! This is your meeting and depending on if you like it I may do a part 2 of how they are when they actually date!

———————————

It all started when, during Nationals, Hinata convinced Kageyama to accompany him to the other side of the complex to watch the girls play

Hinata had a few friends that he promised to go and watch from back in middle school when they allowed him to practice with them. Plus he owed them a thank you

“Shōyōōōōō!!!!! Ouuuuuu are you guys going to watch the girls?! NICE! Can we come?!” Nishinoya pleaded standing up from where they were sitting in the bleachers. Tanaka was right beside him pleading too as always.

Before Hinata could agree Daichi who was sitting behind them—glowered at Yuu and Ryu and pulled them back down by their shirts.

“Absolutely not.” The captain said sternly. “These two knuckle-heads already got banned from the girls side of the complex.” He glared at the two second years who cowered immediately.

Kageyama shook his head at his upperclassmen. “I don’t even want to know......” he mutters under his breath before following a skipping Hinata.

Kageyama went despite the fact that he was a little bored by volleyball if he wasn’t watching future opponents

he could use the break and they had time to kill anyway so no harm no foul

SIKE. Prepare for a lot of harm and a smidge of foul. He didn’t expect to see you there

Kageyama and Hinata found a great spot on the above bleachers and Hinata pointed to the team you played on since he knew you.

“There! Number 14! That’s Y/N — she’s in our year can you believe—“

Kags’ jaw dropped

He definitely didn’t hear Hinata anymore once his eyes stopped on your numbered jersey

Listen... I know in most teenage boys minds they think something similar to ‘omg there’s a hot girl!! look at her hair look at her legs look at her rack’ but when Kags saw you he didn’t see any of that

Well, not immediately.....

Instead, he was completely captivated by your playing style.

Tobio couldn’t help but think that if Karasuno were crows then you must be a freaking unicorn. Your technique was outrageously unique that incorporated back sets so beautiful that made you seem unreal......much like a unicorn.

The way you played is like you are pulling off miracle sets time and time again... except you made them look easy

Your wrist motion was captivating

Your spiral-stops were perfectly executed

The setter plays you called were impeccable

“She’s better than me....” Kageyama whispered to no one in particular. He doesn’t even realize he said it. Hinata just gaps at him before nodding and adding a “Duh.”

Hinata honey don’t write your death wish this isn’t death note

Good thing Kags was too distracted by your playing

He was a goner okay. Watching you play was slightly short of erotic

The way you adjusted to each one of your spikers was unprecedented

The blocks you made were clearly highly calculated

Your setter dumps were even enough to make him whimper under his breath. Kageyama had to punch Hinata so he would stop asking why he just made that sound.

Kags’ mind was—as Hinata would say: KA-BLOOM 💥— or way out of his depth here

And to make matters worse.....when you finally stopped playing and joined your team to celebrate your victory, Kageyama’s “I’M A MALE” instincts finally kicked back in as he realized just how breathtakingly beautiful you are.

He was able to suppress it because he was captivated by your playing style but now that you weren’t playing--a tidal wave hit him with the ‘omg there’s a hot girl!! look at her hair look at her legs look at her rack’ thoughts......

To make matters EVEN worse x2 his eyes bugged out when he realized you were the co-captain.

“A-first year???? Captain????” His eyebrows met in the middle in disbelief.

Hinata beamed. “Yup! Y/N is rated the #1 setter in the country for high school girls. She taught me how to set. She’s awesome and such a people person they would be stupid not to make her captai—hey!”

Kageyama was up and out of his seat in an instant. He pulls Hinata out of the stands by his arm.

“You will introduce me. Now.” His mind: Goddess.

Hinata whined like a toddler until Kageyama let him go. Shōyō rubbed his arm while pouting, saying that all Kageyama had to do was ask nicely since he was going to say hi to you anyway.

Kageyama waits on the court for your team to collect their things. He couldn’t take his eyes off of you and he felt his heart start pounding

You were quite possibly the best setter he’s ever seen at a tournament. Oikawa would quake in his boots

Kageyama suddenly felt rage at the idea of ladies-man Oikawa taking any interest in you. Whoa, that was weird. He hasn’t even met you and he’s already feeling some type of way

Anyway, you tell your team to take their lunch as you walk off the court. You look around hoping to find your friend Hinata that you haven’t seen since middle school!

Out of the corner of your eye you spot a familiar orange ball jumping up in the air and waving his hands. He was yelling your name and people were shooting him dirty looks. Smiling, you held your bag closer to your shoulder and jogged over to your old friend “Hi Shōyō!”

You hugged him and listened to him go on a rant about how good you were and how much he thanks you for teaching him how to play until someone clears their throat rather loudly.

You look over and see a taller boy in the same uniform as Hinata looking pointedly annoyed with Hinata’s blabbing. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and frankly his entire demeanor was dark

But was he ever HOT AS HELL DAMN (you would opt for never seeing light again if that meant you could bask in his darkness)

You stared at him for a little until Hinata spoke

“Oh right. Y/N, this is my scary setter Kageyama. He really wanted to meet you—“

Kags turned red at Shōyō’s last words which took you back. This mean-looking totally attractive guy just blushed?! And he wanted to meet you? Why???

“Hi, I’m Y/N.” You put your hand out for Kageyama to take and he did, staring at you intently.

You would be lying if you didn’t feel butterflies. Neither of you said anything you just got lost in each others gaze.

“So! Kageyama here is in our year too. He’s the one I told you about that I played and he was so rude... otherwise known as the king of the—hey!”

Bumping him into next week with his hip, Kageyama pushed Hinata out of the way roughly.

So you know how every time Kags meets a great setter he creepily bombards them with a string of setter questions in order to get better ? It’s like automatic for him

Ya well there are no exceptions to that rule

He doesn’t care that you’re a girl— he doesn’t care that you’re the sexiest girl he’s ever met— the boy is a robot when it comes to the setter position and so he lets it loose just like he did when he spoke to Kenma for the first time after the first crow vs. cat game : speaking so fast that he sounded like he was speaking in tongues:

“HowLongHaveYouBeenASetter?WhoTaughtYouHowToBeASetter?WhatWouldYouCallYourStyle?HowDidYouSetter-DumpLikeYouDidInTheFirstSetLikeThatEvenThoughThose2BlockersWereInFrontOfYou?YouCanPass,SetAndSpikeSoWhyDidYouChooseSetting?HowAreYouNotTheTallestButYourJumpSetIsSoPrecise?WhatTypeOfTrainingRegimenDoYouDo?HowLongDidItTakeYouToBeTheBest?WhatDoINeedToDoToBecomeLikeYou? Will you please let me take you out on a date next weekend?!”

shocked, half because Kageyama is still shaking your hand while he speaks like he doesn’t know what sentence pauses are, the other half shocked because you think he just asked you out?!

“Umm......” Your mind tries to catch up with your body that just increased to an incredibly high degree.

Kageyama gives you a look of determination that makes you gulp. You recognize that look. You know that look. All setters know that look. It’s the look of determination when we tell ourselves that we will not lose this game. A shiver ran through you when you realized it was you that he was so determined to win. 

A game, huh?

Meanwhile, in Kageyama’s mind... though he realized that he asked every setter question under the sun like he always does — the asking you out part was so automatic that it hadn’t registered yet because he’s never had to worry about that before. That’s the only reason this cutie isn’t combusting damn

I know y’all were wondering

Kags is in setter mode and love mode he doesn’t know how to act

Finally, you release your hand from his just as your teammates call you over for food. As Captain, duty called.

Looking up at this sexy setter in front of you, you nod. “Uh, sure, Kageyama. I’ll tell you what - I’d love to go out with you. But just as a little pay back for being so mean to my friend Shōyō over there— back in middle school and now.... then I’ll only agree if you win your next game. Then and only then can you get my number from Hinata, okay? I gotta jet.” You give him a warm smile and a wink before jogging out of the gym to meet your team.

Kags, finally registering what you said........ he combusts. He can’t get over how hot you looked when you just winked at him and that he actually asked you out without meaning to.

You said you’d LOVE to go out with him!!!!!!

Well.....if he wins the next game. All because of her thinking you need to treat that stupid bug Hinata better.

Hinata sticks his tongue out at Kags as he rubs his side.

“That really hurt Kageyama. And what happened to you being a dumby or an asshole when it came to cute girls? Now you know how to ask them out??? Man I wish Y/N was smart enough to make the condition that you had to be nice to everyone for her to agree to go out with you because you don’t deserve a girlfriend as pretty as her— and I want to win too.” He starts walking back to the boys’ side of the gym.

“That was my first time ever asking a girl out for your information. And watch the way you talk about my future wife, boke. Just hit my sets and win this next game.”

smirking, Kageyama’s thoughts filled with mental images of you setting, you winking at him sexily and the way your smaller hand fit in his large one perfectly. He thought about how he would make your date next week one for the books.

He really wanted you.

Let’s just say how badly he wanted you was very apparent to Hinata due to the fact that in Karasuno’s next game in Nationals: Kags was the honorary ace. And they won.

Save Me: Chapter 65 - Someday

~Hey guys! Chapter 65 is out now :) I hope y’all enjoy and have a good week!~

Molly makes a confession to Michonne while Negan comes to terms with his past and Lydia thinks about her future at Alexandria.

Michonne and Judith had finally come home from Hilltop.

This filled me with both excitement and regret.

I was happy to see them both, alive and well.

Judith was like my niece and Michonne was my sister.

I loved them both so I hated them not knowing what everyone else already probably knew, that Negan and I were together.

Of course, people had whispered about him, about us for years but, because we were living together, Negan no longer in his cell and we looked after a kid, it was serious.

I think that's what unsettled people the most, that this wasn't some flirty fling with a prisoner, he was now one of us because of me and people felt threatened by us, like the King and Queen of the Sanctuary would reign over them too now.

I didn't wanna reign over anybody, I knew that Negan still did but that he held that part of himself in the past for me.

But it was the fact that we were three outcasts, the 'monster', the 'whisperer' and the 'saviour', although they interchanged monster and saviour for both Negan and I.

I knew that Judith would be okay with it, more elated than okay given how much she cared about Negan when Michonne understandably didn't.

But, Michonne, she was the type who I knew would be happy for me to see that after Tara, I could still be happy but that I found my happiness in Negan would be an issue. I was right.

Michonne strolled with Judith through the front gates as I went to greet her.

'Hey' she said smiling as she hugged me.

'I should've come home sooner' she said apologetically.

I stopped her and said quietly 'no, honestly the trial went better than expected, great actually. Listen, I need to talk with you in private about something'.

Michonne nodded sceptically and told Judith to go see Daryl and RJ while she talked to me for a minute.

I asked her to come sit with me on the bench beneath the tree and breathed deeply, hesitating before I spoke.

'Negan is living with me now' I said quickly, just trying to get it off my chest.

'What?' she said sternly but calmly.

'He is a prisoner Molly?! Or have you forgotten what he did...to all of us!' she yelled.

'I haven't nor will I ever, but he has shown over the years that he has changed. He has served our community time and time again and saving Lydia was no exception. I know it wasn't my decision to make...' I said slowly before she cut me off.

'You're damn right it wasn't!' she yelled.

'But...I made the call and if you will just give him a trial period, say two weeks. If he puts one toe out of line, then he goes back to the cell. But, showing the others that people can change, that they can find redemption, is that not what the future of this place is all about?' I asked softly.

Michonne sighed and nodded, 'fine, but he will still have guards'.

I nodded happily, saying 'deal'.

'How's Lydia doing?' she asked worriedly.

'She's banged up pretty bad, but she's healing. I just want people to see what we see, you know? That she's not a whisperer, hell she wasn't even one when she was with them. It just infuriates me that people hate her so much for something she didn't even do' I ranted as Michonne held my hand.

'You're doing the right thing Molly, you know she's so grateful for you. People will learn and understand over time' she said softly as she smiled.

'God I hope so' I replied as I looked down.

'I know you don't wanna hear this, but Negan is so good with her. She really bonded with him through all this. It's like I...like I have a family. Like I have a kid, you know?' I said hesitantly.

Michonne scowled and then smiled softly, 'I get it, Judith and RJ are my everything. I would do anything for them'.

I nodded, saying 'that's how I feel about Lydia. I wanted to kill those guys for hurting her, the thoughts that ran through my mind Michonne...they were dark. But Lydia showed me the light, showed me justice'.

'That's what we need to fight for, our future, the love that we have for each other...all of us' she said as she saw Negan in the tomato patch.

I thanked her for her understanding and I went over to Negan.

I walked up smiling like a cheshire cat and said sweetly, 'hey'.

Negan looked up and winked at me as he smiled, saying 'hey darlin'.

'Do you know where Lydia is?' I asked.

Negan nodded and said 'uh huh, dropped her off with doctor baby daddy while I went to work, she should be in her room'.

I loved hearing him talk about Lydia like she was ours, it was so sexy and compassionate.

Negan took off his cap and stood up to hold my hand.

'I love you so much you know that?' I said softly so that only we could hear.

He smirked, saying 'I love you more' he said as he bit his lip.

I went to put my arms around his waist as he said, 'Michonne is sitting right over there, we both know what happened last time'.

I chuckled, saying 'she knows and she's okay with it' as I pulled him in closer.

He relaxed and embraced me gently, holding the back of my head in his palm as he kissed my cheek.

'Is it wrong of me to say that I wanna take you right now in this tomato patch?' he whispered into my ear seductively.

I closed my eyes and smiled as I pressed my body closer so he could feel all of me.

'Not at all, but I have a funny feeling that your guards won't like that' I whispered back.

He chuckled at this and groaned in frustration, saying 'such a tease'.

I giggled and replied in a whisper, 'I know, but tonight you can have the full show'.

I pulled away from his embrace and left him wide eyed and speechless as I walked away giggling to myself.

I walked back to the house and checked Lydia's room to see that neither Siddiq or Lydia were there.

I frowned in confusion as I said to myself 'that's strange' as I walked back out.

I checked the hospital, only Dante our new doctor was working there at the moment.

He smiled strangely and said that Siddiq had gone to my house.

I just nodded and checked all over the compound, then realising that Lydia could have gone to the cell.

'Shit' I whispered to myself as I sprinted down there.

Gabriel was taking out Gage and the highway man so they could start their punishment and as I passed him I asked, 'is Lydia down there?'.

The two men didn't answer but Gabriel said 'she is but Molly I-' as I ran past them, not needing to hear the end of Gabriel's speech.

I opened the door to find Lydia sat on the bed in the cell.

Her knees curled up to her chest as her head was bowed to the ground.

'Lydia?' I asked questioningly.

'What are you doing down here?' I continued.

She looked up at me slowly and said 'what does it matter, this is where they want me'.

'You know what they're saying out there? That I brought it all on myself' she said as she started to cry.

I started to step inside as I said 'Lydia...no'.

She screamed and said 'don't! I want to be here. I was living a fairytale in your house, this is who I am'.

'You know for a long time I blamed myself for what my mother did. Kept thinking, what if I just stayed in that cell at Hilltop. If I never let myself be taken alive by you people in the first place, never went off with Henry, never said what I said to my mother' she said softly.

I sighed as I said 'you're not to blame for her'.

It was too much for her, being a family.

'My mother was right, she said you people put on these polite faces but its just a mask, because when things get bad...when you get scared, you pick a target, aim and shoot. Me, Negan, anyone but you' she continued.

'I tried fitting in, because I wanted to be like you' she said which made my heart shatter into a thousand pieces.

Tears rose to my eyes as I listened.

I shook my head, 'you don't belong in a cage, you belong with me' I said crying.

'I'm better here. I feel safe' she said sadly.

That was the truth for Lydia, with me and Negan she didn't feel safe.

I didn't doubt that she loved us but with what she went through, how could I expect her to just trust us?

It broke my heart, that I couldn't give her what she needed, but I loved her and I had to do whatever she needed.

I left the cell door open and said 'I'm sorry, just know that I love you and I will be here when you decide. I'm not leaving your side, you're stuck with me whether that's what you want or not...I've got your back' as I left the room crying.

I had been so blind. I thought she was starting to like it here, to like us.

The puzzle with Negan, the playing with Gracie, it had all been a lie.

She hated it here and it was my fault.

I should have done more, should have protected her more from all of this.

I promised her that, I thought as tears rolled down my face.

I stormed through the compound, wiping my tears before anyone saw me.

I had to do something to take my mind off it.

I had to fight them.

I marched over to Gabriel and said sternly 'I want to fight. No, I want to lead the fight'.

'I wanna train people, get ready because I can't wait any longer' I added as Gabriel just looked at me silently.

He knew something was up with me but didn't know what.

To be honest, if I was any sort of perfect person, I would better myself to help Lydia but knowing me, I wanted to fight my way through the pain.

He nodded and said 'alright' as he got everyone lined up for my training session.

I trained everyone over the age of twelve in everything, knife throwing, firing a gun, explosives, you name it.

My eyes kept flickering over to the cell where Lydia was.

I remembered all those days I would train her and I wished that she would see what I saw.

I just had to give her time and space to think.

My thoughts flashed back to the task at hand and the only thing that hindered us right now was the lack of numbers.

We had good and able fighters but the whisperers outnumbered us by a large fucking amount, plus they had a hoard of walkers that seemed to get larger every time we took some out like they were respawning.

I told Gabriel and he brought Negan over.

Aaron was training nearby me and as soon as he saw our plan, he marched over and said sternly 'we're good'.

'We're low on soldiers already, the ones we have are fighting fatigued. Negan has only been on cleanup duty' I pleaded.

'I said we're good' Aaron said angrily as he fastened his metal arm on.

Negan came over and said 'hey Molly, I'd rather just stay here and pick tomatoes and bury corpses'.

I whispered, 'he needs you out there, please?'.

'Yeah and I need me in here, especially on a day like today. Everybody's amped to eleven, pissed at the skins and stirring shit up with each other. I already told ya, I don't want any of those hateful vibes taken out on me' he said softly.

'I'll make you a deal' I whispered sweetly.

'You do this for me and i'll do that thing we talked about later' I added.

He chuckled and shook his head.

I sighed and said happily 'it's Aaron, he's a saint!'.

'Look, I just wanna stay here can you just do me that solid Moll' he said softly.

Gabriel rolled his eyes and walked over.

'You can fight, you are low on fighters. Peanut butter meet Jelly. You're taking him, end of discussion' Gabe said as he pointed to Negan and Aaron.

Negan's POV//

I knew Molly wanted me to fight with her but I couldn't help but be a little fucking sceptical.

Everyone hated me here except Molly, Lydia and Judith, so going out there with mister robot arm kinda freaked me out a little bit.

Once we got out, we fought the dead in silence until I picked up a crowbar to kill them more easily.

The fucker had given me a wooden stick, the hell was I meant to do with that?!

He warned me to put it down but I didn't listen so he chucked me some rope.

I chuckled and said, 'what? you want me to hang myself?'.

'Tie up, I'm taking you back' he said angrily.

'You're taking me back? That is the best freaking news I've heard all day! But, I am not tying up like some POW' I said smiling.

'Yes you are' he said sternly which made me smile even more.

'Or what cowboy? I asked sarcastically.

He drew out his knife as I said 'agh'.

'You know what I see? I see someone that's pretendin'. Come on man, let's just go' I said calmly as I tried to walk past.

He pushed me to the ground as I moved past him.

'Agh, Jesus did you just trip me?! What are you twelve?! What the hell is wrong with you, I've been putting my neck on a block for you people all goddamn week!' I yelled as I stood up slowly.

'You don't give a damn about us! If you gave a shit, you'd leave! That's what everyone needs' he yelled back.

I nodded and looked down, saying 'I did what I had to do back then'.

He looked surprised and asked 'what did you just say? No, no, no, open that up. Tell me, why the love of my life had to die!'.

'Okay, one simple fact, one truth kept my people going. If you don't protect what belongs to you, then sooner or later it belongs to someone else, that goes for your land, your wallet, your home, your country, everything. It is your job as a man to protect it. Its the story of America, the story of the whole goddamn world and ain't nothin changing it. Not you, not me, nobody' I said seriously.

He scoffed and said 'are you saying that Eric's death was my fault? Well, if I failed Eric then you failed Molly'.

I felt rage boiling in my blood as I kept my cool and just smiled saying 'careful'.

'She left the Sanctuary hating you, you know that she will never forgive you and you will never be able to change that. So, you can act like she won't hold that against you forever, but we both know the truth' he whispered.

I just chuckled as I frowned in anger.

'You wanna say something?' he added.

I noticed two walkers coming towards us and smiled saying 'yeah, behind you' as I ran.
