#kagehina, masquerade ball, inspired by the Starless Sea

Normally Tobio hates balls. Where others see them as a chance to meet new people, make new friends, seduce new lovers, he’s always seen them as a reminder of how lonely he truly is.

This ball is both better and worse than most. It’s unlike any ball he’s been to before—everyone is dressed in black or white, with only splashes of color allowed in their jewelry or detailing. And they’re all anonymous, hidden behind beautiful, elaborate masks over their eyes.

Keiji notices the vague ache in the back of his sinuses Friday morning. “No…no no no,” he chants under his breath, shoving some oranges and a packet of vitamin c immunity booster powder into his bag on his way out.

They don’t work. Now it’s Saturday morning, and he’s slumped on his couch, shivering under a blanket and squinting at his work email through a stubborn headache.

He thought he was lucky, that he’d be able to keep chasing off being sick every time his nose of throat ached. How wrong he was.

Tobio screwed his eyes shut tight against the headache looming like a threatening raincloud over his mind. "So...let me get this straight."

"Akechi took Davi's soft volleyball during lunch and wouldn't give it back, Luka heard Davi yelling and went to make Akechi give the ball back, but Akechi pushed *both* of you, and that's when Lili...got involved?"

"I pushed him!"

"...Right. Pushed him."

One of Shoyo's favorite pieces of advice that he received as a new father regarded the importance of talking with one's child to accelerate their language development.

Or something like that. He was just happy to have a comeback whenever Tobio asked why he had one-sided conversations with Lili before she could even say "Papa."

Now those questions were replaced with a bemused gaze that was easy to ignore while he chatted with Luka.

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's raining, d'you need me to bring you an umbrella?"

"Awww Yama, you're worried about me?"

"...Never mind, catch a cold and die."

"Wait, wait!" Shoyo cackled. "Don't hang up!"

Tobio wasn't *actually* going to hang up. But Shoyo already knew that, so he only dignified him with a grunt as a response.

"I remembered an umbrella today, don't worry!"

"Wasn't worried. Just thought your dumb ass forgot to check the weather."

"Uh-huh. Love you too, Tobi~"

#kagehina, inspo’d by Those World Cup photos

It happens every World Cup: photos of the football teams celebrating their wins go viral as everyone gushes over how “fruity” they are.

It’s only a matter of time before they turn their eyes to other sports…including volleyball. Japan’s national team don’t care about the photos that go around. Bokuto still picks a disgruntled Yaku up for a bear hug. Miya still jumps on Ojiro’s back and plants a playful kiss to his temple while rubbing his short-cropped hair. Even Ushijima and Sakusa indulge in long hugs.

"Hey, Hinata, where're you going?"

"Saving Kageyama's class from him," Shoyo snorted. "They had a math test, so he's gonna be suuuper grumpy now."

He'd no sooner grabbed his bento box when he heard a terse, "Hinata," from the classroom door.

Sure enough, there was Tobio, peeking in with an uncertainty that was unnerving coming from him.

"Oh, hey! I was just coming to your class!" With one more grin to his classmates, Shoyo hurried over to Tobio's side, peering intently at his familiar features.
