Summary
“What are you doing?” Mello snaps when she feels Near approach from behind, shoulders tensing under Near’s feather-light fingertips.
Near ignores her, pressing her palms down and smoothing them along the angle of Mello’s shoulders, fighting against her perpetual tightness. “Are you wearing a new perfume?”
“You’ve memorized my scents? Creep.”
Roommates Mello and Near are in the kitchen when Mello accidentally cuts her finger. Cue undefinable tension.

Summary
Chara's stomach growled as they ran. It was a familiar ache, which made the thought all the more soothing: that where they were going, they wouldn’t need to eat anymore.
Eating was so much work. Getting up in the morning, only to be met with the challenge of getting along with those people who called themselves “parents”—so much work. They wished they could just go to sleep and not wake up again, but such thoughts were fantasy.
Mt. Ebott was real, and it was right there. Within reach, soon.

Summary
Isn’t this how it always goes, with them? Sae leaves, and he comes back different. He goes to Spain and comes back a stranger, leaves again and comes back a coldhearted judge, looking at anyone, anyone but Rin, and tonight he shows up like a fleeting apparition just to disappear once again into the dark.

Summary
Naph doesn’t trust this Jayce fellow just yet. He knows about him, of course, but only as a celebrity famed for defeating Viktor all those years ago (according to word on the streets), and as a mysterious figure from Viktor’s past (according to all the weird shit Naph keeps finding around Viktor’s house). This makes it doubly weird when his ward shows up at Viktor’s place out of nowhere, he himself comes to get her, and he and Viktor engage in a screaming match that devolves into them blushing at each other like the maidens in those dumb Piltovan plays Naph hears about sometimes.
So if he decides to sneak up to Piltover to figure out what the hell is going on between the two of them, surely it can be excused. Anyway, better to apologize than to ask for permission—Viktor couldn’t disagree with that.

Summary
It's about lost love and found family. It's about children having their own agendas. It's about growing past the old hurt and finding that the love didn't, after all, go anyplace you couldn't find it again.
Alternatively: Amaranthine finds herself at Viktor's house one evening and everything else just follows.

Summary
“I don't like sucking at stuff,” Kageyama says. “Would you at least tell us what we're doing wrong?”
No is on the tip of Kei’s tongue, but the other boy is looking at him with a mix of embarrassment and hope, and Kei knows how much it takes to admit you need help with something. He knows after what an ass he's been to Kageyama and his friend, his boyfriend, all week, it's probably taking something extra right now.
And here's the thing. Another thing. To say that Kei doesn't get summer crushes isn't entirely accurate anymore.
--
Despite his best judgment, Kei may be developing a something for the two boys who rent surfboards from his shop every day. It’s more than just a headache (though it certainly is that, too), and before he knows it, he’s agreeing to teach the idiots how to catch waves in the summer heat. And whether or not he’d like to admit it, there might be a thing or two he can learn from them in return.

Summary
Tadashi ends up bringing him dinner in the bedroom, testing the office chair’s durability by fitting himself on Kei’s lap. “You could get some inspiration from the internet,” he mumbles, watching the cursor on the screen blinking against a blank document.
“The internet didn’t go through the painful torture of watching the dumbest mating ritual of the animal kingdom,” he grumbles. Tadashi’s chuckle tickles Kei’s neck, a huff of hot breath warming him to his core. If Kageyama and Hinata feel even half of this for each other —and he thinks they do— Kei owes them a nice fucking speech.
After all, he had witnessed their weird courtship from the front row. Who better than him to tell the world about just how much those two idiots were meant for each other?

Summary
Kageyama honest-to-god smiled. Not just a competitive smirk or a feigned grin for a photo op-- but an open, genuine smile. Diego nearly dropped his water bottle.
And if the smile wasn’t shocking enough, Diego noticed something as Kageyama pulled off his practice shirt; a thin black cord looping around his neck, starkly contrasting against pale skin. Which was surprising enough (he didn’t peg Kageyama as the jewelry type), but what hung from the bottom of the necklace stopped Diego in his tracks.
There, dangling from the cord, light catching on its smooth surface, was a ring.
A fucking gold ring.
---
In which Kageyama Tobio returns from a break with a ring, and his teammates on Ali Roma scramble to figure out who the lucky lady is.- Language:
