    Summary

    “So you’re denying that you’ve been in love with him for, like, a decade?”

    “Okay, you might actually be insane.” Tendou glares at the screen.

    Oikawa doesn’t even blink. “You’re insane for denying it after all these years.”

    There’s no sense in denying it, but that doesn’t matter right now.

    “I am not in love with Wakatoshi.”

    “Babe, no one missed the way you used to eye-fuck him every time he breathed. Well… except the idiot, himself.”

    Tendou’s shoulders drop in defeat. He really needs a new best friend.

     

    Or Tendou Satori is a submissive who is in love with oblivious dominant Ushijima Wakatoshi.

    The Dom/Sub AU that absolutely nobody asked for. This is purely for my own personal, selfish reasons. So… to me from me!!!!

    Summary

    Wakatoshi had always been admired by peers. He was well off as a child, he was tall, athletic, conventionally attractive, and highly praised by the adults in his life, excluding his mother.

    Most people dream for years to have a life like his. Professional athlete, beautiful wife, nice home, and generational wealth, but he was never happy with it. Something about it all was off.

    Yukina was kind, forgiving, and thoughtful. She was a perfect wife at her core. She just wasn’t perfect for Wakatoshi.

    His mother and Yukina’s father thought they would be perfect for each other all those years ago, and Wakatoshi felt inclined to agree. From an outsider’s perspective they were perfect. Both of them were very well mannered and would fit together in a lovely traditional marriage, but that’s not what Wakatoshi wanted.

    He didn’t want this.

    He wanted something else.

    He wanted someone else.

    TLDR

    Ushijima Wakatoshi was a gay man. He wouldn’t realize that about himself until it was too late, but he still deserves sunshine.

    Summary

    “It is just like the Tokyo Tower,” Wakatoshi says, staring at the large structure made of iron and steel. The Tokyo Tower came after the Eiffel Tower, and was modeled after the Eiffel Tower, but it is painted red and white. Also, it is actually functional as a radio tower. The Eiffel Tower, as far as he knows, does not serve any other purpose besides being a national monument. “And we have that back in Japan. I do not see what all of the fuss is about.”

    “They call that Paris syndrome,” Satori snorts, lazily waving his hand at the tower. “Where you get real disappointed and you start, like, hallucinating and sweating a lot when you visit Paris, ‘cause it’s nothing like what you thought it would be like. Happens a lot with Japanese tourists, did you know that? Because they build up Paris to be some grand thing in their mind, and then they get disappointed when they find out that it’s just like any other city.”

    “I see.” Wakatoshi does not think he is currently suffering from Paris syndrome, because he did not expect too much out of the city. And in any case—how could he be disappointed when his best friend is with him?

    Summary

    Prince Akaashi had lived a tranquil life. His family ruled the kingdom in peace for generations—no wars, no heavy taxes, no unrest. A quiet, noble existence. But peace is fragile.

    One night, everything shatters. A coup d'état strikes the castle, forcing Akaashi to flee with nothing but the clothes on his back and the loyalty of his two closest companions—his steadfast knight, Ushijima and Oikawa.

    They escape into the depths of the forest, believing isolation will bring safety. But the woods are not empty. And the world beyond their kingdom is not what they expected.

    ----

    “So, uh… it’s part of the tradition,” he said, eyes flicking toward the dancers. “You don’t have to or anything, but… would you like to dance?”
    Keiji looked up at him, surprised—but then he smiled, small and genuine. “I’d like that.”
    Before he stepped away, he turned to Ushijima, who stood like a silent sentinel near the fire. “Will you be alright here?”
    Ushijima didn’t hesitate. His gaze flicked briefly to Bokuto, then back to Keiji. “If he touches you inappropriately,” he said, deadpan, “I will break his arm.”
