thinking about oikawa and how most of the monster generation never really knew how cool he was in high school. they never got to witness how great he was as an opponent: how his serves, sets and the connection he had with his team always blew everyone away. he was a hidden gem.
atsumu (8) got hurt while playing at sunarin’s house. suna ritsuka, rintarō's mother, treated his injuries (scraped knees) with love and care. however, atsumu wouldn’t stop crying, nothing was enough to calm him down. osamu was on the verge of tears and rin was really scared.
komori (8), outside his mother’s bathroom: mommy… i have a question
komori’s mom, taking a relaxing bath after a long week: sure, honey!
komori: can only two people make love?
komori’s mom: … yes
komori: and what about three people?
kiyoomi posts embarrassing photos of motoya out of nowhere and without a caption. it all started with a low-quality photo of motoya putting two bananas in his mouth, and the last one he posted was motoya crying over the last episode of a k-drama. suna couldn't be more grateful.

sakusa kiyoomi has no weaknesses.
he excels at almost everything he does.
he's a great writer; not only because of his lovely prose, but also because he has a careful and delicate penmanship.
atsumu and rintarō exchange their jackets one day after a practice match between msby and ejp. no one pays much attention when they see rintarō wearing atsumu's jacket: the color is neutral, and some don't even notice that it's a msby jacket. however, atsumu's case is different.
second-year osamu wakes up fifteen years in the future. he’s curious about what he and atsumu are up to now that they’re both adults. while exploring his house, he discovers two things: 1) atsumu went pro, and 2) he owns a restaurant named onigiri miya. so far, so good.
mama miya and mama ojiro became the best of friends right after they met for the first time in college. they've been inseparable ever since, always together through every chapter of their lives.
when mama ojiro became pregnant, mama miya was the first to know.
bokuto stitches the viral tiktok of the girl who says "i realized i'm a lesbian, hunter". in the video, he appears with a wooden bat in his hands and stripes of paint under his eyes as he says: lesbians, do not fear! this evil woman will NOT find you [angry pout.]
atsumu realizes that he likes men when he looks at aran and kita talking after a grueling practice. kita pulls his hair back, sweat droplets running down his neck. aran rolls up the sleeves of his shirt and uses the bottom of it to wipe the sweat from his face, exposing his abs.
i love how fanarts or fanfics can make you fall in love with a ship that you were neutral about or never even paid attention to before. i want to wish all fanartists a very pleasant day for feeding my big multishipper heart 🙂↕️ <3
osamu's wallpaper is his first selfie with akaashi. it was taken on a night out with msby to celebrate their tournament win. in the photo, they are cheek to cheek, both a little flushed from the alcohol, and with big, bright smiles on their faces
atshn hate aside, i feel like this is so disrespectful to the artist that made the fanart. i know that art is subjective and it’s valid if you don’t like it, but if that’s the case just ignore it and let the people who DO like it enjoy it.
@yujibokuto
that could also explain why he’s so happy when he meets hinata because he finally found someone that matches his energy :( or why he’s so happy everytime he gets to play or go to the training camps
“where's the trophy? he just comes running over to me” and it's komori jumping into suna's arms and kissing him after ejp raijin wins the league after years of not even making it to the quarterfinals.
farmer miya osamu (38) helps college student akaashi keiji (23) to repair his car that broke down on a rainy day in the middle of his road trip. he was lucky to be near osamu’s farm because the signal was awful and he was already far away from the city.

. “it’s you. it’s always been you.”
“sunariiiiiin, i need your help”, atsumu whined on the other line. “you’re the only one that can save me.”
rintarō sighed. “what happened, ‘tsumu?” she tried to hide her amusement, but she didn’t know if she succeeded.
rintarō then begins to laugh as he imagines a life full of atsumu wearing his clothes and looking absolutely amazing in them. he also realizes that the idea does not displease him at all, but rather causes a delightful sensation in his heart.

old osamu and old akaashi chuckle. yes, that’s a pretty interesting story that osamu has to live to understand why his future looks like that.
they were glad that teen osamu didn’t notice the engagement rings on their fingers… that would have sent him into cardiac arrest.
according to bokuto and kiyoomi, atsumu looks like a “human banana”, so everyone from both teams teases him. even motoya takes pictures so he can post them on twitter and send them to osamu.
the funniest part is that kiyoomi doesn't post anything else on his accounts, so if you stalk him you'll only find volleyball-related pictures, one (1) selfie, a landscape, ushijima, and several photos /and/ videos of motoya's (weird) activities.
a hidden gem who surprised everyone the moment he stepped onto the court again, this time representing another country, more experienced and wiser. he’s the gem who shone and kept his promise to beat everyone, just like he said he would.
while the boisterous laughter of their teammates surrounds them, rintarō can't help but stare. he thinks he's supposed to be making fun of atsumu, but his mind takes him to a completely different place: atsumu looks /so/ adorable — even when he's hurling insults at everyone.
i love when a fictional character is a little pathetic. they’re a fully functioning, powerful being who stops at nothing except they’re also a little loser sometimes. it adds flavor.
the miyas were never alone, nor were the sunas, but when they found each other, they found the missing piece of the puzzle of their hearts.
they are family. they are not perfect, but they are /so/ happy that they couldn’t ask for more.
the tiktok is hilarious and so adorable that it's no surprise when it goes viral. he's even named as one of the official protectors of the lesbian community. msby's pr team is amused by bokuto's antics, so they decide to let him be and post whatever he wants.
ritsuka tried everything to make him feel better, but it didn't work, so she decided to call miya aika, miya twins’ mom. they didn't know each other personally, but atsumu and osamu always carried a little card with their mom's phone number on it.
it makes me happy to think that he achieved his goals (i am 100% convinced that argentina won the olympics) and that he finally had a spotlight made just for him, an opportunity to show the world how much brighter he could shine.
rintarō's eyes widen as the realization hits him with the weight of a thousand bricks.
“holy shit. i'm in love with him,” the phrase repeats in his head like a chant.
osamu, on the other hand, figures out that he likes men in the middle of class. he's writing in his notebook when suddenly someone taps his shoulder. when he looks up, osamu sees suna. it's not the first time he’s seen him, but the lighting in the room makes him look so pretty.
twenty minutes later, aika was at the door.
ritsuka was speechless for a few seconds when she opened the door.
aika was gorgeous.
she immediately put /those/ thoughts aside, introduced herself and let aika into her house.
he can't believe it! he can't accept that the sight of that human banana is making the butterflies in his stomach go wild and making him blush intensely.
he left to continue playing with his brother and his best friend, leaving aika and ritsuka alone.
“sorry… i couldn’t calm him down.” ritsuka blushed. she felt lame, why was she acting like a teenager?
“it's okay! ‘tsumu is a special case.” aika giggled.
however, imagine his surprise when his older version enters the house holding hands with fukurodani’s setter: his nemesis, the idiot who threw a ball in his face (in theory, it was bokuto who did it, but he didn’t care.)
atsumu ran to his arms and relaxed almost immediately. osamu hugged her legs, his shoulders dropping in relief. rintarō took his mom’s hand and hid slightly behind her. ritsuka chuckled.
aika thought that atsumu wanted to go home, but as soon as he felt better,—
a few years later, just after the twins turned sixteen, aika proposed to ritsuka.
their wedding day was one of the best days of their lives. (atsumu cried like a baby, and this time only ritsuka could calm him down. rintarō and osamu just laughed at him while they cried too.)
“thanks for calling me! and nice to meet ya, i'm miya aika.”
ritsuka bowed, a small smile on her lips. “nice to meet you too, miya-san.”
they spent the rest of the afternoon together, getting to know each other.
they had a lot in common.
ritsuka discovered that the twins took their mother’s last name (just like sunarin). she was single and raised her two “gremlins” alone.
ritsuka understood her, because her case was similar to aika’s. that’s the main reason they got along so well from the beginning.

osamu has been acting strangely since she got back from work.
first of all, her eyes lacked the usual sparkle she always has when she goes to work at the restaurant of her dreams, even if her shift was terrible and too busy.
baby osamu even laughed for the first time in mama ojiro's arms.
therefore, aran, atsumu and osamu grew up together, united by the strong and beautiful bond between their mothers. like brothers from another mom or cousins who are the best of friends.
they became very good friends over time, which made their kids so happy because they could spend more time together.
at some point along the way, feelings blossomed in their hearts.
ritsuka fell first, but aika fell harder. they were afraid because they realized that those—
and when baby aran was born, he was the light in mama miya's eyes. she pampered him all the time and showered him with love.
a year later, when mama miya became pregnant, mama ojiro was the first to know, and she was overjoyed to learn that her best friend was expecting twins.
always together in every chapter of their lives, an unspoken promise that ensures it will always be that way.
and even though they are not related by blood, they are definitely the happiest family in the world. they would not change what they have for anything. <3
i love the idea of aran, atsumu and osamu being friends since they were in diapers because their moms are besties 🥺🤲🏻 i’m going to pretend this is canon from now on!
atsumu and hinata kiss their rings every time one of them gets a point. this tradition started in their msby days — meian once scolded them for kissing in front of everyone, so they had to come up with a solution to that problem, which was to get matching rings.
old osamu lets out a long, tired sigh.
akaashi lips curl up in a smile full of amusement. “so what atsumu-kun said was true… you hated me.” he tries not to laugh.
“yeah. in case ya didn’t know, i think that yer a…-” teen osamu starts, but is interrupted by his older version.
“leave those insults to your keiji, osamu-kun.”
teen osamu rolls his eyes and he leaves the living room, but not before saying one last thing to the couple: “i can’t wait to go back to my reality so i can see for myself how the hell i stopped hating that stupid setter.”
osamu wants to strangle his older version because why is he being all lovey-dovey with his number one enemy?
he starts grumbling about “how is that possible”, only realizing that he’s been caught when old akaashi opens the closet he was in. okay, that’s embarrassing.
the three of them stare at each other. teen osamu frowns, and old osamu and old akaashi are more than taken aback. what’s going on?
the first one to open his mouth is teen osamu. “what are ya doing with him? we hate him, remember?” he deadpans.
sunarin has horrible pictures of all his friends sleeping, including himself (atsumu's revenge, he supposes). except for komori. he's never had the chance to take an unflattering photo of “eepy komori” because he always looks adorable when he sleeps
feelings existed when their sons were going through puberty… so, yeah, they didn’t know what reaction they would get from them.
however, rintarō, atsumu and osamu already knew.
they knew it even before aika and ritsuka could give an explanation for their flushed cheeks and racing hearts.
in fact, atsumu, osamu and sunarin had tried to get them together and had somehow failed, but their moms were still grateful.
oikawa traces random shapes on iwaizumi's back as dawn begins to break; a few rays of sunlight filter through the curtains, illuminating their room with a soft glow. iwaizumi wakes up and the first thing he sees is oikawa smiling softly at him, his gaze full of adoration.
when they adopted the twins, part of atsumu and shoyo wanted them to be as passionate about volleyball as they were (and still are). however, they also knew that the odds of their daughters wanting to play the same sport as them were slim. still, they gave it a try.
atsumu and hinata prefer to keep their relationship private. as public figures, they don't like the idea of people commenting on what they do/say as a couple. there are exceptions, as they like to show off how in love they are, but they're mostly private about their relationship.
i love you, iwaizumi hajime (30) athletic trainer. have a nice birthday, iwaizumi hajime (30) athletic trainer. have i already said that i love you, iwaizumi hajime (30) athletic trainer???? because i love you, iwaizumi hajime (30) athletic trainer
his family even designated him as the official writer of the entire sakusa clan. it’s a big responsibility, but he always has taken it with pride.
he also is great at riding horses. it’s one of his passions. his father made him take classes for half of his life, so it’s—
except for one thing.
well…, someone.
miya atsumu.
kiyoomi has known atsumu for the majority of his life. after all, the sakusa and miya clans have a strong alliance that has lasted at least fifty years.
something that comes naturally to him. he often participated in competitions, but his opponents were always the worst riders ever, so he stopped enjoying it that much. he decided that doing it on his own was the best option.
he’s curious and analytical. also extremely blunt.
oikawa does the “saying everything twice to see his reaction” trend with iwaizumi. the tiktok goes viral because iwa's reactions are so funny: he's so confused at first, but then he starts to lose patience as oikawa keeps repeating himself with the same tone and gestures.
it was stressful.
it didn't help that atsumu would sometimes confuse him with weird signals that he didn't know how to interpret.
«is he always this touchy with others?», «why does he keep staring at me like that?», «this must mean something… right?», he wondered.
