Summary
"I love you," Kuroo says, with the same simplicity that he would have said 'it's raining outside,' or 'lets have fish for dinner.’
Which is to say, he says it without exaggeration, without artifice, just a simple honesty pulled from his heart.
Kenma responds by pushing him with both hands against his chest. "You idiot."
Or Kenma and Kuroo and their happily ever after.

Bookmarker's Notes
He thinks the sunrise is like them, isn’t it? Simple. Quiet. Reliable. An inevitability, but no less breathtaking because of it. Tetsurou wants to start every day together with Kenma. He wants this to be his forever.
they are my favourite ever!!!! :”)

Summary
There are some things you just can’t see unless you do things you don’t normally do. This beautiful day unfolding in front of him is one. The man sitting next to him might be another. However, Kenma doesn’t let himself dwell on the second thing for too long because he remembers Jun’s words. Kuroo isn’t interested in romance. And Kenma knows nothing about romance in the first place.
Instead, he whispers to Kuroo, “Thank you for showing me this.”
“You’re welcome,” says Kuroo’s soft voice in return.
They continue to stare at the rising sun. Kenma feels that, with any luck, this would solidify the unspoken, budding friendship between them. He still doesn’t know what it is that he is looking for here in this town, but it feels like he’s taken good first steps.
How to build a life you want. Kenma thinks. This is probably just the beginning.
Or
Kenma, software engineer and a childhood cancer survivor, moves to a coastal town based on one of his favorite video games in search of a life he’s always wanted. Enters Kuroo Tetsurou, a science teacher and volleyball coach, who lives just a few doors down. Maybe right here, and within one another, they will both find what they are looking for.

Summary
Hinata smiles— golden and warm as if Atsumu is the only person left in the universe. There’s a dimple on his left cheek, a thin-liner muji pen clasped between the fingers of his left hand, and a casual confidence in the way that he rises from his seat to greet him. He’s a lot shorter than Atsumu had imagined.
He smiles, and Atsumu knows that he’s fucked.
( or: The AU where Hinata is a museum curator, and Atsumu is a struggling artist trying to escape the rat race, and together they navigate the price of dreams.)

Bookmarker's Notes
That’s the thing about old dreams: they wash onto shore some day or another, and they stay. They stay until you forget about them slowly, until they're pulled into another tide of stress and nine to fives.
But this time, Atsumu doesn’t want to forget.heart feels warm

Bookmarker's Notes
Atsumu feels that perhaps he may be a speck in the universe but he has Shouyou in this world and they have a world of their own and in that world, Shouyou is the sun, and Atsumu is alive, occupying space, and constantly turning towards the sun, dancing under its light.

Kenma’s thought that he’s only allowed one great love, but maybe he’s lucky enough to have more than that.
