Summary
Tsukishima has yet to find his real name. One that would suit his true identity. But there is one thing he is sure about: he is a boy. It's just that nobody knows it yet, unfortunately. But he feels ready to let it out.
To be seen as him.
And with some help, with some friends and allies by his side, he will be strong enough to tell the whole world who he really is.Or:
Tsukishima is eight when he finally tells his brother what he's been feeling for a couple of years at least: he doesn't feel like a girl. He isn't one. He's a boy. Unfortunately, he won't have the most open-minded parents (mostly his stupid, asshole of a father).
This part is focuses on his (and Yamaguchi's) childhood.Series

Summary
He once described Hinata as a magnet he cannot ignore and that would be the excuse he would give anyone who caught him reaching up to place his own hand over Hinata’s. It would be the excuse he would give if they saw him pulling Hinata’s hand away from his chest and instead pressing it against his own. Palm to palm he found himself not caring if someone noticed anyway.

Summary
The pieces are starting to come together, but several seem like they’re from a different box and the picture on the jigsaw puzzle lid is definitely not what Kei expected. “Sensei,” he says, trying to keep calm. “Kuroo-san and I, we aren’t — we’re not dating.”
Takeda stares at him.
He stares at Takeda.
Takeda turns bright red quicker than a traffic light.
**
It starts with Takeda, and goes downhill from there. Or, five times people believed they were dating (and they weren't) + 1 they really were.
