Summary
Thinking back at it, he should’ve known better. He should’ve raised his voice and asked questions that burned his tongue, but he decided against doing so.
Aruji was never a great strategist, it was known amongst the residents of the citadel, but they managed to avoid causalities. Be it the blessings of the Gods, or just mere coincidence, it never mattered.
Until now.

Summary
It’s the best time of the year, according to everyone; when mere days before Christmas, the house in the outskirts of the town fills up with life, people coming and going in and out of rooms. The scent of gingerbread and mint seems to replace the very air and ribbons, garlands, sparkly little glass bulbs reflect the light coming from the fireplace in the living room.
or, the Rai boys "host" a Christmas gathering.

Summary
just some lighthearted drabble requests from curiouscat, mostly centered around kanemutsu and their shenanigans.
tags/characters/relationships will get updated once i end up writing & uploading more chapters
and, of course the title has nothing to do with the content of the chapters, as per tradition -

Summary
"If anything, Izuminokami considers his days being peaceful enough that he could even say he’s content with having this whole new life as a flesh-and-blood warrior this time.
Until that day.
The day he - even years later, probably forever, if not longer -will claim as The Day When Aruji Made The Biggest Mistake Of Mankind.
The day when Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki gets successfully summoned into life."
or: Izuminokami Kanesada grows up - through years and seasons.

Summary
“Hey, Akaashi. Why haven’t we ever gone on a trip together?”
The room starts to tilt a little, and Keiji wonders how much of it he can blame on his exhaustion. He blinks a few times in an effort to reorient himself, then carefully pushes his glasses further up his nose and says, “I don’t know. It would have never worked out in high school, then there was university and our careers to contend with. I’m busy, you’re busier. The timing just hasn’t been right, I guess.”
“Then we should make time.”
After fifteen years of friendship, Bokuto and Akaashi go on vacation.

Summary
' “Hello?” Kuroo calls, when his third round of raps on the door goes unanswered. “Sorry to bother you! I live downstairs and I just—”
“What?” says his heretofore silent neighbor, who has swung the door open rather violently to reveal that he’s not an elderly lady or a distinguished professor, and is in fact a blond, bespectacled guy maybe a year or so younger than Kuroo.
There are two important things that Kuroo gathers very quickly. One, his neighbor is cute, in a slender, nerdy, oblivious kind of way. And two, he looks to be only seconds away from murdering Kuroo in cold blood. '
--
Kuroo's upstairs neighbor is a bit of a mystery—one that Kuroo can't get enough of trying to solve.

Summary
The second the words left Tsukishima’s mouth, he knew he was too drunk. Curse all three of them—Kuroo, Bokuto, and Akaashi—for handing him drink after drink. He should’ve known better.
‘Never?’
Ignoring the blood rushing to his face, he drums his fingers on the table. ‘Never.’
or Kuroo helps Tsukishima get there for the first time.

Summary
Kei never lets things come easy for himself, never tries to believe in one thing too long because things change, all the time. But if we grow together and fall in love with one another's newer versions again and again and again, Tetsurou remembers saying one night as he held Kei in his arms, kissing the top of his head, the palm of his hands, the tip of his nose. Then we'll be alright, no? And there are many, many nights when Kei still needs to touch Tetsurou to make sure he's still there, when Kei has to fight himself to convince his head it's going to be okay.
So, when he says he loves. If he, when he, could say he loved Tetsurou—no ifs, ands, or buts attached, then Tetsurou needs nothing else.
or,
The five times Kei tells Tetsurou he loves him (ft. some appreciation of the Tsukishima Brothers).

Summary
In a world where flowers paint themselves on your skin for every person you love in your lifetime, Kei only has one kind of flower crawling on the expanse of his skin from the back of his thighs up to the nape of his neck. Sunflowers bright as day wrapped around his torso, as lively and as colorful as Kuroo Tetsurou.
