Summary
We are all and only our distances.
Three months is how long it takes for Koushi to settle comfortably into the routine of university life - which, really, is no different from a glorified version of high school. It’s always the same humdrum existence, the same old: lectures, tutorials, volleyball practice, rinse and repeat, throw in a couple of parties here and there. Or maybe he’s just boring.
‘Well, not everyone here is a seventy year old soul trapped in a twenty year old's body,’ Oikawa tells him from across the library table, nose scrunching up a little. Koushi considers picking up a pencil and throwing it in his face, before deciding against it. Oikawa’s good at dodging these things – Iwaizumi’s trained him well, Koushi thinks darkly – and anyway, Koushi would much rather enjoy the quiet peace of Oikawa pattering away at his keyboard. It’s been raining the past few days, but the sun will be out soon, and there’s always time for a stroll before dinner.
And if all if this is unbearably mundane – Koushi has never claimed to be anything else.

Summary
In which Ushijima tries very hard to be a good neighbour to the new tenants next door. (alternatively titled: love thy crooked neighbour)
From: Ushijima Wakatoshi
To: Oikawa TooruDear neighbour,
Congratulations on moving into this neighbourhood with Iwaizumi. I hope you will enjoy your stay here, and I apologise for not being able to greet you in person, as I am a very busy man.
As you might have noticed, I have also placed a pot of flowers next to your doorstep as a housewarming gift. It is a rue plant, traditionally meant to symbolise ‘regret’. I have expended great effort to procure this plant for you, as this is not a common flower you can find in your neighbourhood florist. The symbolism is entirely intentional.
I look forward to seeing you (and your boyfriend) around.
Sincerely,
Ushijima Wakatoshi- Language:

Summary
The resonance hits him before they've even entered the gymnasium. It hits him with all the subtlety of a derailing train, and he barely hears Daichi calling his name over the roaring in his ears and the bile choking his throat.
"That's our new setter, then," Koushi manages, before doubling over to throw up the rest of his lunch.
