    Summary

    “Then you wouldn’t mind,” Atsumu said, his voice a soft rasp, “if I held yer hand, right?”

    Kiyoomi stared at Atsumu wide-eyed and open-mouthed. When Kiyoomi’s objection never came, Atsumu tentatively pressed his fingertips into the soft skin of Kiyoomi’s palm.

    Kiyoomi’s hand trembled, but he did not pull away. Atsumu slowly threaded their fingers together until their hands were entirely intertwined, flush and warm. Atsumu’s eyes drifted to their joined hands and then back to Kiyoomi’s face. His eyes did not glimmer with mischief. They burned.

    After watching his parents’ and siblings’ marriages all end in divorce, Kiyoomi is convinced any relationship of his is doomed to fail. All his life he’s successfully resisted the urge to act on his feelings, and he plans to keep it that way.

    Until Atsumu holds his hand on a whim, and everything falls apart.

    Summary

    “I can’t tell if this is extremely weird or extremely sweet.” Komori hums, “I think it’s maybe kind of both.”

    “It’s not weird,” Kiyoomi says sternly, “Fans do this all the time.”

    “Yeah but you’re not ‘fans’,” Komori tilts his head to the side as he watches him, “You’re Sakusa Kiyoomi. You were on the cover of volleyball monthly. Every time you see Miya in person you pretend to forget his name but now you’re wearing his merch”

     

    When an old photo resurfaces with damning evidence of his infatuation with a certain setter, Kiyoomi makes a new ally, creates a series of misunderstandings, traumatizes half the team, and still somehow gets the guy.

    Summary

    “Sakusa, after your latest panel, fans want to know: Are you a germaphobe?”

    The whole team falls silent, unsure if that’s a safe topic to breach. He sees Meian raise a hand, ready to interrupt, but that would be even more mortifying. He hates being patronized. Just because he has a condition doesn’t mean he can’t function just as well, or even better, than others. It’s been a sticking point since childhood.

    “Yes,” Kiyoomi answers bluntly. “But it’s just a symptom of my OCD.”

    “Whoa, what?” For once, Atsumu is stumped.

    --

    This is the story of how two flawed people fall in love, and despite their rough edges, find their way to each other.
