Summary
They stood, watching the rain. Sakusa’s hand lingered. The warmth of his touch seeped through the fabric of Ushijima’s clothes, through the cool of the night.
“I bought pickled plums from the convenience store,” Ushijima said.
Sakusa smiled. He lowered his head, tucking it to himself. When they go back home, Ushijima thought, they would share a bed. They’d washed and dried the sheets yesterday. They would be clean and warm.
A walk down the memory lane.

It swelled in him now, quiet like the stormy clouds. He couldn’t name it then, but he knew now.
How lucky he was, Ushijima thought.

“Where are we going?” he asks, watching as the cars speed by, the long stretch of highway beyond seeming nothing short of endless.
Iwaizumi just grins. “Wherever the road takes us, Ushiwaka.”

Ushijima has learned that you cannot practice hearts like you can practice sport.

Summary
“Hers is a story characterised by absence. Her absence from the earth above, then her absence from the underworld. In essence, it is a story defined by longing. The union is only a part of it: the heart, then, is the separation.”

Summary
Fifteen minutes past midnight, sweltering in the unforgiving heat of Argentinian summer nights, Oikawa realizes that he is in love with Ushijima Wakatoshi.
The truth comes crashing down over his head with the abruptness of an ancient structure’s slow, inevitable collapse and maybe, he thinks, he has known all along.
Maybe that’s why 18.000 kilometers from home, crammed into a tiny apartment with a stolen, oversized Adlers jersey sliding off his shoulders and a head full of memories, Oikawa finds it difficult to breathe.

Summary
“Do you love this city?” Kageyama asks softly.
They’re at a rooftop bar, overlooking the hills and mountains of Soho’s skyline, and Kunimi is leaning on the railing with a cocktail in his hand. A pool sits in the middle of the roof, and the light reflects off of it and casts angelic blue onto the angles of Kunimi’s jaw, his cheekbone, a halo of dancing water. As if Kunimi will sprout wings and take flight, leaving Kageyama stranded on a peak, watching him soar away quietly and with lament.

Sakusa wants a moment of that silence, to be pulled into that orbit and enfolded in that stillness, that total and utter lack of doubt.

He wants everyone to see them, and to just as quickly glance away. Out of shame. Out of a need to escape the unbearable title of witness. Out of an inability to understand what they are, too multiple for comprehension. He wants to render the world an intruder.

Summary
It’s so easy, it’s always been so easy, Kuroo thinks, to fall into Bokuto’s orbit and drift exultantly in that gravitational thrall. Bokuto is so impossibly engaged and present and alive, and when Kuroo is with him, he feels drunk on the sheer possibilities of life.
Like he can go toe to toe with giants, mountains, gods even, and somehow win against them all.
It's been a while since they've hung out and Kuroo thinks about how it started, how it's going.- Language:

Turns out we both might be stars, he thinks, burning, letting his eyes start to drift close. He imagines them nestled in their respective solar systems, winking at each other across the voids of space. Maybe they’re lightyears apart, maybe even further, but they never ever lose sight of the other.

Summary
Because you are now a monster made from the rubble of what you wanted, know the taste of greed and wish the world wouldn’t tell you to run, you are worried. But I have loved you my whole life, before the idea of you. Before the world could speak riddles in your ear. I will love you until you ask me not to.

Because he was eight and twelve and fifteen and twenty-one. Because he’s Kageyama Tobio, boy-king, without a single bad bone in his body.

All he knows is love— belated, mistaken, earnest, honest, flawed, free, forever. All he knows is distance, ashamed of itself. Ashamed of them.
