kageyama likes to massage his own hair roughly. in a way that the almost destructive contact between fingertip and scalp makes him sorely certain that /it's there/ and that the now /is/ happening.
his sister has reprimanded him about it
once. said such rash manner would cause hair damage. at the time he has tried his best to swallow back an unnecessary remark. that every pinch of gentleness in him vanished when /she/ did; died when their grandfather did.
the concept and very /feeling/ of tender affection was
only ever reintroduced to him when he entered karasuno. there was hinata, whose desire to fly was unwavering, strong, /sincere/. sugawara, the senpai he wished he met sooner. showed him the significance of camaraderie, and above all, trust. in a way, kageyama may as well have
been his first pupil.
and then, tsukishima. the want, the need, the /ache/ for gentleness — to be treated in its name and to treat another just the same — resurfaced all the more when he began seeing the stupid beanpole in a light besides his petty, antagonistic nature.
and pretty much when the first years he has grown to call friends made him remember what it's like to have a family.
yamaguchi has gifted him a moisturising shampoo for a christmas exchange present once. there he heard the familiar massaging-too-hard-can-break-your-roots drill
from yachi.
but as much as he loved yachi with all of his heart, kageyama doesn't really think of girls whilst he's in the showers.
and so, tsukishima.
it's an entirely different story when he massages tsukishima's scalp. gentle. bordeline reverent it's preposterous. he
means well, always. doesn't want to cause tsukishima /any/ sort of damage. and more importantly, tsukishima likes it that way. if the way he closes his eyes in what can only be content is any indication.
kageyama isn't going to lie. he figures he liked this much better, too.
even more so when it's tsukishima's slender fingers about his hair. making sure to massage every section thoroughly, then rinsing each in the same exact same manner and order. tsukishima has an inexplicably endearing knack for accuracy like that.
a triviality, really. one of the
many mundane idiosyncrasies about him that kageyama would prefer to not go without. for there is beauty in simplicity, in softness, in taking one's time. a kind that kageyama learns to appreciate in the slow but sure process of getting together with tsukishima.
this is horrid ._. but oh well i wanted to leave something karasuno before really disappearing for a while so yea pls pardon the lack of coherence and jic the point didnt get across: nonsexually intimate tkkg >>>

#reogiri where reo doesn't get the intimacy and inherent sexiness of sharing clothes (at first!!) so whenever chigiri borrows (ie, steals) a shirt or jacket from him he shows up the next day with a new shirt or jacket that's the very same of what chigiri borrowed, thoughtfully
says "i bought u this so u dont have to borrow mine 🥰" and at that he doesnt get why chigiri's smile doesnt quite reach his eyes
more so why chigiri doesnt ever wear the clothes hes bought him (reo's tee size is a bit larger, so he can tell)
karasu tells him (yes im pushing my
karasu mom friend agenda tyvm) "maybe chigiri never wanted /those/ in the first place???"
reo is even more confused bc why would chigiri borrow /those, in the first place/ if didnt want them
when chigiri tells him flat out - "i dont want new clothes, rich boy i only ever wanted
to kageyama tobio, the road not taken will always lead him back to taft and tsukishima kei
another tkkg filo au idea 🧍
exes reuniting (not sure kung reconciling din) trope
sa taft sila pareho nag-aral ewan q pa kung san exactly, unang nagkakilala sa police station sa may un kase nadukutan si kei tas si tobio may pinyansahan 👁👄👁
teka parang familiar ung plot na gusto kong tumbukin sunod ,,,,z
filo highschoolers bokuoikuroo defo performed parokya's bagsakan one time in a classroom w/o ACs, hapon na kaya mainit at pawisan sila, tapos break
sawa na sila sa senti na tugtugan ng ibang kaklase kaya si oiks, the ultimate pasimuno, decided to spice things up a little
bago dumating si teacher
siya si chito, si chito miranda tapos sunod din syempre si kuroo na si kiko, si francis magalona. di papahuli si boks (siya yung makakatanggap ng loudest cheering from the audience) na si gloc-9, wala siyang apelyido
yung tunay na bagsakan? mangyayari yun sa surprise graded recit sa last subject nila 🤠👍
#tsukikage roommates in which kageyama does the cooking and tsukishima, to redeem his sense of pride and purpose, volunteers for the cleaning job
he washes the dishes and all is well. he understands the assignment and executes it perfectly like he always does
(if kageyama says so himself)
tsukishima tells him that he actually finds calm and a sort of relaxation in rinsing the bowls and wiping them dry.
and kageyama, despite being the idiot that he is, /knew/ that was a starting point of sorts for the giddiness
that wrings his insides in a way he can't explain whenever he sees (shamelessly watches) tsukishima do other tasks, for his cultural org and uni works alike, with the exact same careful precision he dedicates in washing dishes
