山口旅行⑤
2023.11.1
約20年前、なぜ旅行先に山口県を選んだかというと、アニメ・サザエさんのオープニングで、サザエさんが秋吉台を訪れているのを見て、『いつか実風景を見てみたい!』と憧れていたからなんです(笑)
今回は、夏の長さもあってか草が多い気もしましたが、すごい風景に変わりありません!
そして地下深くには秋芳洞が。日本にもこんな不思議な場所があって、見ているのはそのごく一部かと思うとワクワクします♪

How i envision my ocs community is literally around haikyuu ppl bc their the only anime ppl ik everyone and are like so realistic/funny
Lets say daisou haru mn are in another team and they go to training camp or wtv and trust everyones getting into a fight.
-
"Who the fuck did your hair?"
Yamaguchi, who was innocently lining up for food at the mess hall during dinner was taken aback by the sudden proclamation to his left. "What...?"
"Oh no no I was talking to my friend over here." Haru waved it off, hiding his panicked face underneath a blank expression as he pulled Sousuke to the side. "Oh my fucking god did you see him? Who the hell is their barber?"
The redhead peeked behind them to see the first year from the other team, Karasuno?, staring at them while looking like he was about to burst into tears.
"You mean seaweed? Hah! You haven't seen the bowlcut yet." Sousuke scoffed, remembering the prideful first year from Shiratorizawa. "A bowlcut?? In this day and age??"
"Yeah and it perfectly lines up. Like I'm shocked he didn't cut his eyebrows to make it one straight line."
"I saw another one who looks like a tennis ball, he LITERALLY has black lines swerved behind his head. And he's BLONDE! LIKE ME! They called him Mad Dog? From Seijoh."
"They're all from the same prefecture too. I think it was Miyagi."
"Urgh remind me to never go there for a long trip." Haru caressed his own hair, scared at the thought pf someone cutting his golden tresses into a bowlcut.
Of course, someone heard the two shittalking everyone's hair, and they just so happened to also hear the shade towards Miyagi Prefecture. If anything is keeping Haru and Sousuke close, it was about hair.
That night, news spread amongst Karasuno and Seijoh with exxagerated retelling of stories of Haru and Sousuke being complete jerks.
"YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH US, CITY BOYS??"
Haru irked, looking down at the shaved-headed second year, Tanaka who was confident to defend his timid junior who's now fussing over his choice of hairstyle.
"I didn't mean it like that..."
Sousuke stepped in. "Look, if you have a problem with him, you have a problem with me."
"He also said that Tanaka shouldn't have any opinions since you don't have hair in the first place." A wide-eyed ravenette butted in, the first-year setter from Karasuno.
"HEY I DID NOT SAY THAT???" Haru yelled. "Who are you anyways??"
"It's Kageyama. One of the most common names, a toddler can curse it." Sousuke muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Excuse me? Do you have a problem with me?" Kageyama stepped up to Sousuke.
"Shut up before I'll pull up your family tree to find your relative in my next-door class!"
"What relative??"
"Your mom."
Shocked gasps erupted all around, Karasuno's captain stepping in to ease the tension after Sousuke dropped the 'your mom' bomb. Ennoshita was trying to beg Haru and Sousuke's own captain to pull them out of the fight.
"Hold up. I'm a little busy right now."
"Please, you can't even multitask for one second? How the hell did you even win spring nationals?"
(m/n) gritted his teeth, glaring at the brunette in front of him. Oikawa smirked with his hands on his hips, Iwaizumi trying not to explode of embarassment.
"Is there something you want, Oikawa?"
"Yeah. This court ain't big enough for two setters."
"Dumbass, you're both on different teams?!?!" Iwaizumi yelled, pulling Oikawa away from the shouting (h/c).
Daisuke smiled nervously, looking to the other Seijoh third years. "Can't we just all be friends?"
Matsukawa looked Daisuke up and down. "No."
"OKAY NOW WE HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM-"
"SOMEONE GET THE PEPPER SPRAY-"

A fun element to Otherside Picnic vol 8 (spoilers ahead after the break, if you're still planning to read it) is an easter egg about the location of Toriko's apartment. Actually, "easter egg" might be underselling it a bit; it has a huge amount of thematic relevance to Toriko's character. So here's the easter egg: if you follow Sorawo's description of her path to Toriko's apartment, you can actually find the building on Google Maps.
The train arrived in Nippori. Pushed by the rush of people, I got off, went down the stairs, and out the gate. I climbed the hill, out of breath, in the unrelenting rain. The wall of a graveyard continued along the left-hand side. Turning onto a side street at the top of the hill, I could see Toriko’s apartment in the middle of a residential area ...the building uses an autolock system... Getting off on the fourth floor, I headed into the hallway. The town I could see over the chest-high wall was misty in the rain.
The fun thing about this is that Sorawo's narration is just specific enough to follow along. In a way, it's an invitation to the reader to imitate Sorawo. Prior to the events of the series, she spent time tracking down the sites of ghost stories from the minor details that leaked into their narration. Tracking down where the weirdness happened placed it in context; stories from the edge of reality seem more reliable when the reality can be charted.
So, let's do it. Sorawo mentions a graveyard wall - this can only be Yanaka Graveyard, located on the west side of Nippori Station. Yanaka is located on the former grounds of the Tenno-ji Buddhist temple, and is one of Tokyo's largest cemetaries by area. It is the resting site of the final Tokugawa Shogun, as well as a who's who of Meiji-era academics, literati, and government officials.
The road along the north edge of Yanaka Graveyard goes up a steep hill, and where it reaches the top, a side road splits off on the left to go into a residential area. Going into street view shows that all of the buildings along this road are only two or three stories tall, except for a building at the very back. It's four stories tall. The building has an auto lock system at the front door, and chest high walls along the hallways to the apartments. Bingo.
The fun part of this is the name of the apartment complex: 山口マンション (Yamaguchi [Mountain Gate] Mansion).
The first part of the thematic relevance here is its relationship to Satsuki's monologue about being brought into the Otherside.
"What happens to the people who don't return?" "Who knows? They probably die, right?" "Life and death aren't the issue. Once you get to that point, that is." My brow furrowed. "What do you think mountains are made of?" Satsuki asked, smiling. "Trees and stuff?" I said without putting much thought into it. When I thought of mountains, the image that came to mind for me was the mountains of my home prefecture, Akita, covered in green. "If trees were sapient, they wouldn't think of themselves as a mountain. Only as a single tree. It's the same concept. People who go into the mountains, regardless of their mental state, are still people. But the wind that blows through the trees. The rocks. The birds. Every speck of rock covering the bedrock. The beasts, hiding in their dens. The ancient mollusks, sleeping in a geologic fold. The morning dew in a spider's web. The bacteria and microorganisms in the soil, breaking down the body. None of these individual constituting elements is the mountain on its own, yet the mountain is made up of them. So it is for those called by the mountain. Living or dead." She raised her hand, pointing all five fingers at herself. "That is how it is for me." Uncurling her fingers, she pointed at me. "That is how it is for you."
This "mountain gate" connection also ties back to Sorawo's previous visit to Toriko's apartment in File 4, where she opened the door to the apartment and encountered the ultrablue void of the Otherside. Thematically, this places Toriko's apartment at the interface between the surface world and the Otherside. The back of the building also abuts Yanaka Graveyard, and so thematically, also forms an interface between life and death.
Sorawo touches on this latter theme in the back half of File 26, when Toriko forces herself on Sorawo in her parents' bedroom. Sorawo becomes profoundly uncomfortable - equally, if not more disturbed by her surroundings than Toriko's behavior. After relocating to Toriko's bedroom, Sorawo realizes the following:
This home was a grave, and Toriko the crypt keeper—that's the image that I was getting. The sudden feeling of resistance I'd felt when we were in the bedroom might have come from that mental association. Even if it weren't the place where her parents had once slept, it was almost like flirting in front of a Buddhist altar. After entering Toriko's room, I finally got it. This room has color. It's the room of a living person.
Toriko's bedroom forms a small bubble of life in an otherwise dead house. The interface between life and death isn't simply close to Toriko's living space, it is actively defined by it. This ties in closely to Toriko's character, given that she's admitted her pushiness to do relationship things in the Otherside is driven by a fear of loss. Her mothers suddenly died, and Satsuki suddenly vanished. All she has left of them is her cherished memories, and she wants to form those memories with Sorawo, just in case.
Another element in play here is Sorawo's relationship to the Otherside. At multiple points in the series, the Otherside seems to suddenly draw closer when Sorawo gets stressed out with her thoughts about her relationship with Toriko. The most obvious example is in the hot springs when the mannequins appear immediately after Sorawo feels backed into a corner with Toriko's "cute boobs" comment, but those fears are also linked to Hasshaku-sama (both times the entity appears as Sorawo contemplates jealousy and the possibility that Toriko will be taken from her), Satsuki's surface world appearance (Kozakura implying Sorawo is manifesting Satsuki through her jealous fixation), the the love hotel girls' party (the lion dancers appear as Sorawo is trying to avoid a romantic bath with Toriko), and Satsuki's appearance in vol 7 (when Sorawo is considering where she would be without Toriko). In a sense, the terrifying aspects of the Otherside to Sorawo are closely related to the terrifying aspects of a defined relationship with Toriko.
One puzzle piece in play is a conversation from vol 7, as Sorawo, Kozakura, and Toriko are figuring out their approach to exorcize Satsuki. They discuss the concept of "atmosphere" and its ability to transmit emotions, particularly fear, and explore ways to change that atmosphere. Toriko mentions that she's mostly heard ghost stories where sex changes the atmosphere. Sorawo then elaborates to a doubtful Kozakura with the following:
No, it's true. There's stories where they were in a real bad situation, but then they started saying all sorts of lewd things and they survived. I don't tend to say that ghosts are this way or that, but sex is the source of life, so that makes it the polar opposite of ghosts, which belong to the world of the dead... At least, there's that sort of reasoning. It's an idea that's been around since ancient times.
Sorawo also goes on to mention that in some situations, the atmosphere can be overwritten, but in others, these attempts only reinforce it more strongly.
The thing about ghost stories is that for all its other indiscretions, it's an elegant genre in strange ways. There's not a lot of bawdy stories in it. Maybe that's because if you're trying to scare someone, and then sexual elements get involved, it hurts the atmosphere. Anyway, I only brought up the sex stuff as an example of how the atmosphere can get changed. It's too weak to be her weakness. There's some real nasty ghost stories with sexual elements, and there are people who've had scary experiences at love hotels.
All of these concepts start to interweave with one another when the two relocate to Toriko's bedroom. Sorawo immediately notices a change in Toriko's demeanor.
Her expression looked uneasy, without composure. She wanted me, but also feared rejection. Despite the way she'd been breathing heavily through her nose as she led me here by the hand, now Toriko was just standing there awkwardly. As if once she'd dragged me into her room she didn't know what to do anymore. Maybe as we entered what remained of the domain of the living inside this house of the dead, Toriko had come back to life.
This scene firmly links Toriko's fear of the Otherside (death) to Sorawo's fear of the Otherside (relationships). In her moms' bedroom, Toriko had been demanding, frustrated, and angry - the malicious emotional states traditionally occupied by spirits in ghost stories! However, she settles down when she enters her own bedroom. For Sorawo, passing through this interface changes Toriko from an unknowable force who inspires fear into a very human entity with whom she can sit down and discuss the uncomfortable topic of sex. In turn, this allows Toriko to an explore an aspect of their relationship that she views as fundamentally life-affirming. After this scene their Othersides are no longer totally different, or inspire mind-numbing terror, but are now operating on a common logic.
The concept of an atmosphere comes up again just after their first try at sex. Toriko has finally found a turn-on for Sorawo, and Sorawo describes the feeling in the same analytical voice she uses for ghost stories.
Until mere moments ago, our nakedness had been no more than that. Just another awkward state of undress, like when we got in the bath. Not anymore. My nudity, and Toriko's, took on entirely new meaning. One little switch inside of me got flipped, and it caused a startlingly dramatic change in my perception. It was mystifying how, as that change occurred, it swallowed up the entire atmosphere of the scene, including Toriko. Stuff like this can happen... I thought in a daze. The room was dominated by my lust which had suddenly materialized. As it overlapped with Toriko's desire, the atmosphere inside the room became something kind of extraordinary.
Prior to their second go at sex, Sorawo and Toriko take a moment to talk over their last remaining fears about sex - using their Otherside-altered body parts on one another. They come to the mutual realization that they have both been afraid of harming one another, but not of being harmed by the other. This last discussion is important, because it totally diffuses their fears around sexuality prior to indulging it. So as they travel into the deepest reaches of the Otherside, they have total trust and intimacy with one another - and an absolute lack of fear relating to what the Otherside represents to them.
The color of the calm world was blue. As we whorled together, intertwining, the ultrablue abyss spread out endlessly beneath us. We didn't fear it. Because this was our place. No one was watching us. No one knew we were here. We were the only ones watching, and the only ones who knew. So the only things Toriko and I have to fear are each other.
"Was it just me who wasn't that scared?" "Nah, it was the same for me. Everything around us was blue, but it wasn't scary." "I wonder why?" "I dunno, maybe because we were on the side that scared people?" Toriko got a mystified look on her face when I said that. "The side that scared people? You mean the Otherside's side?" "We weren't human anymore, were we, Toriko? When we were there." "...Yeah." Toriko suddenly moved closer to me and chomped down on my ear.
So to bring this full circle, this is why I love this particular easter egg, and Otherside Picnic in general. The setting is treated as an important aspect of the story, and it is carefully chosen for its emotional content and thematic relevance. Toriko's apartment isn't just some random place in an upscale neighborhood of Tokyo. It's a fundamental part of who Toriko is as a person. It's a location that lends a huge amount of thematic subtext to Otherside Picnic as a relationship story, and to the reader's interpretation of the Otherside.
Is it a metaphor for death? For queerness? For our ability to truly bridge the gap in understanding between self and non-self? The reader is invited to imitate Sorawo, and in doing so, finds a treasure trove of understanding. The little rush of discovery shows us what keeps Sorawo interested in exploring a totally alien world and trying to understand its workings.
Miyazawa's writing actively rewards readers for engaging with every little bit of the story, and it really tickles the analytical part of my brain.

ALPHA! HQ BOYS x MANAGER! READER
ALPHA! HQ first years and their scents.
Pairings: Tobio Kageyama/reader, Shoyo Hinata/reader, Kai Tsukishima/reader, and Tadashi Yamaguchi/reader.
Warnings: None.
ALPHA! TOBIO KAGEYAMA
Keynotes: Gunpowder, Rice, Authentic Matcha Powder, and Sea Salt.
Songs: Congratulations by Mac Miller, Infrunami by Steve Lacy, and Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean.
The first thing everyone seemed to notice about Kageyama was the intensity of his scent: especially during his middle school years. Alongside his short temper and inability to socialize, Kageyama’s scent made him all the more unpopular.
His scent was weirdly engulfing to you which separated him from other alphas who usually had subdued scents with hints of strong notes like musk or sandalwood. Oddly enough, it didn’t turn you away from him.
When you first met him, the first thing you noticed was the sheer smell of gunpowder, which after speaking to Yachi and meeting the team, you figured out that it was coming from Kageyama. He was Beautiful, entirely a sight for your sore eyes. You didn’t hesitate to take up a position as a manager, and of course, didn’t hesitate to get closer to Tobio Kageyama.
In fact, if anything, it added to his allure. What interested you the most was that once you got over the smell of weaponry, the rest of his scent was oddly comforting.
In his calmer moments, the gunpowder's overall potency is replaced by notes like warm white rice and chunky sea salt.
Despite the common characterization of Kageyama being arrogant and rude, Kageyama, at his heart, is simply a boy with a passion for the sport he’s loved for years. He misses social cues, can’t seem to be able to study properly, can’t seem to pass a math test but can calculate where and how hard he should hit a volleyball to score a point, and can’t easily communicate his emotions without yelling. These moments are when you can really make out the gentle details of the rest of his scent. When it's just you and Kageyama, not the great king of the court or the arrogant setter from Karasuno High School, you can smell the thoughtful picking of the brand of the powder, the careful measurements of hot water, and the brisk whisking needed to make a cup of matcha alongside a warm bowl of arroz con leche. It’s in these moments that Tobio Kageyama can’t deny his feelings for you.
ALPHA! SHŌYŌ HINATA
Keynotes: Carrot, Osmanthus, Waffle Cone, and Gasoline.
Songs: Oye Mi Amor by Maná, Brazil by Delcan Mckenna, You Look So Perfect by 5 Seconds of Summer.
Miyagi prefecture is known for many things but mainly, it’s known for its festivals. More specifically, It’s the famous Tanabata summer festival. That day in mid july was when you first smelled him: His scent alone had nearly stopped you in your tracks. There, among the sea of alphas who smelled like amber, was a soothing yet very pungent smell. Commonly, flowery, sweet, and vegetable-like scents usually belonged to omegas and some betas. This scent was floral with a strong note of osmanthus and warm sugar, however, the sheer intensity could only have belonged to an Alpha. When you looked in the direction of the aroma, you could only see the crowd and faintly smell the lingering scent of lighter fluid.
You never managed to forget the scent, afterall, it was so unique that it nearly drove you insane the rest of the summer. School started back up and one of your friends, Yachi, managed to get herself a position as one of the managers of the Karasuno volleyball team. Yachi eventually, through the fact that she begged and pleaded with you nearly every day to become a manager, convinced you to become a manager as well. The day that you first went into the gym was the day you met that alpha with the odd scent all those months ago.
The immediate smell of Gasoline filled your nose as you stopped dead in your tracks. There he was; you knew in your soul that it was the man that had fascinated you back in July. His brown eyes landed on your figure as he stood there before you. There was a shift in his scent, the bitter notes of carrot and gasoline were gone as they were replaced by something much sweeter: Instead, honeyed apricots and sugary waffle cones filled the air.
He had noticed you back then too, back in July when the sun was setting and the only thing he could make out was your love-struck eyes.
ALPHA! KEI TSUKISHIMA
Keynotes: Oatmilk, Hot Iron, Leather, and Papaya.
Songs: Sweet by Cigarettes After Sex, Playground Love by Air and Gordon Tracks, Religion by Lana Del Rey.
Someone once told you that Papaya was the fruit of love. They said that if someone were to eat the papaya’s fruit and its seeds before they kissed someone, then the two were promised eternal love. That was back before you learned that Papaya seeds were extremely toxic and that the flesh was barely sweet.
You and Tsukishima had never really talked, even before high school. He always kept to himself and when he didn’t, he was extremely snarky and sassy, which made you want to talk to him even less. Despite his rude character, he never really treated you like that. Ever since Elementary school, Tsukishima had never once insured you. Instead, he either went along with what you said or stayed silent. His eyes always seemed to lock onto yours, even as children, which led Yachi and Kiyoko to speculate about what Tsukishima thought about you.
Yachi always reminds you of what happened that day when she talks about the two of you. Karasuno and Nekoma had a sparring match on a cool September day. After the practice match, the two teams had run out of water bottles which had prompted Coach Ukai to send you out to a nearby grocery for more. Despite it being somewhat light out, Ukai still sent an Alpha to accompany you, and that's how Kei Tsukishima joined you.
His scent, which was extremely intimidating with heavy notes of brown leather and hot metal, lingered in the air as he looked down at you. You had never realized just how tall he was compared to you, how much space he took up despite being so anti-social, and just how attractive he was under the streetlight. Usually, you would just politely ignore him but, under the early stars and cool 7:00 P.M. air, you couldn’t look away. His eyes, once so disinterested and dismissive, were full of passion and animalistic desire. You couldn’t bear to look away as Tsukishima suggested that the two of you deserved something sweet: a “reward” in his words for being such a “good manager” and for working “so hard”.
In the end, he was the one who cut up the papaya he had bought for the two of you. He brought some of its flesh and seeds to his soft lips. The scent of ripe papaya and sweet oat milk wafted in the clean air as the taste of the fruit and its seeds lingered on your lips and in your mouth.
ALPHA! TADASHI YAMAGUCHI
Keynotes: Seawater, Ironed Laundry, Banana Leaf, and Cotton.
Songs: And I Love Her by Santo & Johnny, Oh My Angel by Bertha Tilman, and Contigo by Los Panchos.
You had always had a bit of a crush on Yamaguchi. Which, embarrassingly enough, was the entire reason why you had become a manager of the team.
You always looked at him from a distance, never truly crossing the invisible line between the two of you. Because of this, you were able to realize a few things about him: He was extremely awkward around all girls, when he tanned he seemed to get even more freckles, his hair never was too long or too short, he always seemed to follow Kei Tsukishima, and he wasn’t like another alpha you had ever met.
His scent wasn’t proactive or strong, it was somewhat faint that you initially mistook him for a beta. It was calm and so comforting that you couldn’t help but gravitate towards him. He smelled like the Pacific Ocean and sweet banana leaves, like long days on the sandy beaches of the Miyagi prefecture. He smelled like some distant home, one where you’ll come back to after a long day in some bustling city, probably Tokyo, and relax in this small comfort. You’d come back to the aroma of warm clothes and cotton and greet your husband, Yamaguchi just doesn't know it yet but the two of you are already married, and he’d kiss you ever so gently. He’d kiss you just to kiss you because that’s exactly the type of man and alpha Tadashi Yamaguchi is.
In his presence, you felt safe. Yamaguchi, by no means, was the strongest, toughest, or scariest alpha you had met. But there was something in those awkward conversations, the vulnerability was intimate and of young love. Things like when he stuttered your name while helping you with something, when his knee would touch yours but neither one of you pulled away, or when he would look at you with such gentleness that it stunned you. There was no lust, no animatic desire, and no malice in those puppy eyes. There was only love, pure love, love that everyone grows up with.
You had spent such a long time yearning for Tadashi Yamaguchi that you had lost sight that he had started to look at you the same way.

wait… has anyone drawn fanart of yuji itadori with the karasuno boys yet? you know since he’s from the miyagi prefecture as well?
he would’ve absolutely excelled on that volleyball team. phenomenal all-around player. he would’ve been besties with tsukishima and yamaguchi because lowkey nerds but would’ve gotten along with anyone with insane energy like hinata, tanaka, and nishinoya.
and, wow, does that boy care so much about his teammates, much like sugawara. he’s so humble in the face of his opponents, which pisses off players like oikawa and atsumu, but pleases ushijima and kita.
unlike tanaka and nishinoya, he doesn’t notice or care for attention from women. he has so much respect for them, he knows he’s too immature to date anyone until after he graduates high school (even though he’s actually very mature for his age).
when he’s of working age, he starts taking shifts at ukai’s store on the weekends to help out his grandfather. ukai would have never let anyone else on karasuno work at his store, but he trusts yuji completely.
basically what I’m trying to say is yuji deserves a happy life just being good at volleyball and hanging out with they boys… but instead he’s… well… you know.

And glancing over, next to their drumset—both of their mouths drop—sits a flushed, triumphant Yachi and a thoroughly-trounced-looking Tsukishima. “Wow, I didn’t realize how easy it is to get the hang of this!” Yachi beams at them as the machine spits out a small mountain of tickets. Yamaguchi, who has been watching over Tsukishima’s shoulder, muffles his laugh at the petulant look on Tsukishima’s face.

On the way to the International Speedway, Kageyama gets lost, and ends up crashing into Karasuno Springs - a small country town in the middle of nowhere, ruining their main road in the process. Forced to stay and fix it, Kageyama feels the whole thing is a waste of time, until he meets the town's handyman - Hinata Shouyou, a local dirt track racer. They're very different, but a shared passion for racing draws Kageyama in, as he tries to work out why Hinata is just a handyman in the first place despite his talent for racing. And over the course of the week he ends up discovering that maybe there's more to life than winning races all by himself.
A racing AU; based on the story of Pixar's Cars, but everybody is human.

Cooking is hard. Even if you have your very attractive, very grumpy neighbor there to help you.
In which Hinata's lack of cooking skills are a danger to him and others. Luckily (or not), Kageyama is willing to teach him, if only for the sake of avoiding any burned down apartments.

Summary:
The "blizzard of the century" comes bearing down on Miyagi Prefecture, closing down schools and trapping everyone in their homes. With nothing to do to pass the time, and an unlimited amount of energy, Hinata finds an unlikely texting buddy in his volleyball partner Kageyama. But it's just texting, it can't matter that much, can it?

Summary:
Tobio drops his hands from his face at Hinata’s bright voice and looks down. Hinata beams up at him, wide and blinding, a ball of sunshine on a gymnasium floor. Tobio kind of feels like he’s burning when Hinata looks like this – sunbeams personified – but that’s okay. He’ll happily spend the rest of his life getting burned by Hinata Shouyou.
Kageyama thinks that being in a relationship seems to be simple at first. It's just Hinata; there's just a lot more kissing involved. But no relationship is without challenges. And for Kageyama, he'll weather them all, so long as he gets to bask in the sun.
Hinata and Kageyama: a relationship study.
thirty-three days of mist and mountains by tinygumdrops (curryramyeon)

Summary:
Tobio runs by himself every day. Even though he can't shake off that awful feeling that something's closing in on him, he still does it. It's habit now. When he gets a phone call that Hinata Shouyou is thinking of coming to Italy, Tobio feels like he has to run even faster.
Or: Tobio has a month to prepare himself before his high school rival comes to visit him. They haven't spoken to each other for two years, and Tobio can't even remember what food Hinata likes. He's got a lot to think about.

Summary:
Alone in Brazil and desperate for some kind of human connection that won't make him homesick, Hinata Shouyou decides his best bet is to communicate in broken English with strangers over the internet. They only have one thing in common - volleyball. sunshinetangerine: not watch olympics now, at work sunshinetangerine: but kageyama very good setter AnArchyCountry: he really is, wow thirstea: just snuck my phone in class to see a photo and holy hell he’s hot sunshinetangerine: yes sunshinetangerine: playing volley a lot get hot sunshinetangerine: drink lot of water after!!

discovering the smile of one kageyama tobio by emleewrites ✰
Relationship(s): Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio
Rating: T

Summary:
Kageyama blinks once before a grin of his own spreads over his face. Shouyou’s breath halts in his lungs at the sight, and he wills for time to stop, just so that he can drink it in. He sees it sometimes when they’re playing - Kageyama’s fierce smile when they pull a combo off just right, when they show their opponents how possible the impossible can really be. But then there’s another serve, another rally, and the moment is gone. 'Shame,' Shouyou thinks to himself, as he lets his eyes roam over Kageyama’s stupidly happy face, taking in the creases that are from joy rather than frowning for a change. 'It’s a really nice smile.'
In which it's their third, and final, year in high school and Hinata has only one goal: to make Kageyama smile outside of volleyball.
