![Earl Grey](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0e3f2af3ed5c3c628807e736c92dee45/4369e1cca5079198-ee/s500x750/ecf26d37356ca8e2be2c2497656d840347a37b2d.jpg)
Levi looked up from his newspaper at the sound of a bell ringing. Two young girls entered his tea shop, giggling. One of them had curly red hair that fell over her shoulders. The other was a blonde with hair that reached just past her jaw. He glared at them, trying to silence them.
The girls winced and made their way towards an empty table.
"My, my," you said, wiping your hands with the front of your apron. "What would you pretty girls like to drink?"
Levi noted that your tone was cheerful as ever. The smell of pastries wafted from the kitchen and into the tiny cafe. His stomach let out a tiny inaudible growl. He tch-d silently and waited for you to take the girls' order before he could ask you to make him some tea.
After taking their order, which took forever, you walked towards him. A small smile dancing on your lips you said, "What's the matter Captain?"
"I'm no longer a captain and you know that very well, Y/N." He said. He was getting really hungry now and was debating whether to ask you for the pastries or not.
You waved your hand in front of your face. "Oh, I was just joking. But, seriously, what's the matter? You look constipated."
"Tch, brat. I'm hungry. Make me some tea and bring me a pastry while you're at it." He said, annoyed that his toilet humor was being used against him.
"Now, Levi. You didn't say 'please'. You should be a bit more nice." You smirked.
"Will you make me tea or not?" Levi was getting impatient and you were totally not helping.
"Say the magic word," you said in a sing-song voice.
"Tch, fine. Please make me some tea. Now, scram." Levi said, making you pout.
"Yeah, yeah alright Captain." You went into the kitchen, pouting.
Levi skimmed through the newspaper. It had been a pain learning the Marleyan language. But, the two kids, Gabi and Falco had helped him.
"Uncle Levi!"
Levi heard Falco yelling from outside the cafe. Behind him Gabi was munching on some baked potatoes.
Levi sighed. Speak of the devil, he thought.
Falco was quick to approach Levi and ask him about his day.
"I sit on my ass all day and drink some shitty tea. There is nothing special," Levi said. It was true, though. He was wheelchair bound and could not move unless someone pushed him around. Shitty tea was a lie. He was adamant in tasting every type of tea to exist and so far he had liked all of them. Besides, anything you made would never be shitty.
"O-Oh." Falco rubbed the back of his neck, slightly flushed. "Gabi and I went round the city and had some tasty street food."
"A date, then?" Levi asked.
Falco turned a shade redder than ripe tomatoes and stuttered out something Levi couldn't quite understand. He smirked slightly. The two kids were obviously in love. Young love, Levi had seen many of his cadets being lovey-dovey around each other. He couldn't complain, for he himself was in love with you. You knew it and Levi was spared from confessing.
"Levi~" Your playful voice shook him out of his thoughts. You held a tray in one hand while the other was on your hip. "Here have some special tea I made and some pastries, too! I know you're hungry."
You placed the tea and pastry in front of him. Levi looked at the black liquid in the teacup. He knew he hadn't tried it from it's scent. He put the newspaper down and gently held the cup by its rim. He took a careful sip. Not bad. It was bold, like any other black tea but with a slight citrusy taste. Levi liked it.
"Gabi! Falco! Back from your little date? Wanna try this new tea? Onyankopon sent it a while ago," you chirped.
"No, thank you. I'm full-"
"Yes!" Gabi shoved the remaining of the potatoes into her mouth and looked at you eagerly. "Gabi," Falco sighed.
You chuckled and Levi felt his heart race. "There's some in the kitchen. You can have it."
Gabi marched into the kitchen followed by Falco.
"So, Mr. Ackerman"– you winked at Levi–"do you like the tea?"
"Do not wink at me." Levi swore his heart would burst then and there.
"Oh you poor thing," you said in faux sympathy. "You're jealous you can't wink because when you do, it's just a blink."
"Shut up brat." Levi had to suppress the smile that tried to form on his lips.
"Jealous baby."
"What's the name of the tea?" Levi tried to change the topic. And he was curious, too.
"Uhm I think it is 'Earl Grey'. Or that's what Onyankopon said."
"Earl Grey? Fancy," he commented.
"Fancy tea for my fancy man," you giggled.
My fancy man. The words repeated in his head. This time, however, he didn't hold back his smile. He smiled and sipped his fancy Earl Grey tea.

Staaaaaaareeeee
Ssssstaaaaaareeeeeee
Stares at you. A lot. If you happen to be in the same room as him then expect a pair of eye watching you. He doesn't look cute. He looks like he wants to murder you and sell your organs on eBay. One day you caught him staring. He didn't turn away 'cause if he did then it would be evident that he was staring so he ended up having a staring contest with you. He looks bored on the outside but inside he's all oh shit oshitohshit they caught me don't be obvious don't–
Once you sat in the same table as him during lunch. Komori of course knew about Kiyoomi's obvious crush on you and like the good cousin he is decided to set you both up. You were sat in front of Kiyoomi and Komori smiled, slow and evil. Kiyoomi saw him and gave him a look that said don't you dare. Komori smirked. Oh dear cousin of mine, he thought. You will get laid and I will make sure of it.
And so Komori started talking to you. He asked you about your classes and clubs. Kiyoomi listened intently and made list of them in mind. You were in the class next to Kiyoomi's and you weren't in any club yet though you wanted to join one but none of the clubs seemed interesting enough.
Komori's face lit up. Kiyoomi knew what was going on in his head and he had to stop his stupid cousin before he made Kiyoomi's life even more worse. But before he could do anything Komori already asked you if you wanted to be the volleyball team's manager.
Please say no please say no please say no please Kiyoomi prayed. "Is it fun?" You asked Komori. "Of course," he answered.
And that was how you ended up as the volleyball team's manager. Kiyoomi thought he was going to die. Komori told him to talk to you and become closer but everytime Kiyoomi tried his throat closed and no words came out. He hated this. He hated his stupid self for catching feelings. He hated you for being so lovable and adorable and cute and–stop.
Practice went on not as usual because you were there and you were watching him One day Kiyoomi forgot his pack of wet wipes in his hurry to reach school on time. He felt agitated the whole day and felt filthy. You noticed his misery and offered him an unopened packet of wet wipes. Kiyoomi hesitated at first but took it anyways.
Later he asked you why you were carrying them. You said it was because you were his manager and that you had to take care of him. Kiyoomi thought his heart was going to burst. His chest felt warm and his face was on fire. You cared about him. He quickly thanked you and excused himself. He ran to the washroom and splashed his face with water. The cold water stung his hot face. He took out the wet wipes and wiped his face. You gave it to him. Kiyoomi thought he fell harder than ever for you.
The day after you gave Kiyoomi some wet wipes he started acting weird or that's what you thought. He started talking to you and stared at you even more. One day after practice was over Kiyoomi along with Komori stayed back to help you clean up. After finishing you decided to head home but Kiyoomi stopped you.
He called your name and you turned. He pulled out a packet of masks and gave it to you. "Thank you for yesterday. Please keep this," he said. You gave him an awkward smile and accepted the weird gift. He didn't stop at that. He pulled out a set of scented sanitizers and gave it to you. You were confused and before you could ask anything he had already shoved a disinfecting spray bottle towards you. He dumped a few bleach bottles and finally stopped.
"S-Sakusa what is all this?" You were really confused right now. You didn't know what was going on and you looked at Komori for some explanation. He was on the floor laughing soundlessly. He clutched at his stomach and laughed and laughed.
You looked back at Kiyoomi and noticed that his face was red. "L/N," he said. He looked at you with what seemed like a deadly glare. He probably wanted to squash you like a bug right then and there. "Please accept these gifts and go out with me. I like you."
What. The. Heck. You didn't know whether to laugh or cry or be mad. "Yes," was all that came out of you. This wasn't even a proper confession. You had no clue what this was. But, how could you say no to Sakusa Kiyoomi? "T-Thank you for these gifts." You stuttered out.
He nodded and gave you a hard pat on the head. Komori never let him live it down. He'd always bring it up and tease Kiyoomi, even when the two of you were together for almost three years. He's an ass like that :)

♡ Kageyama Tobio ♡
![When They Have A Crush On You](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7b9c79db5f8ae7f110b956a73517287f/a41ef45150867ac8-89/s500x750/ae67f763607731fb9648c99ccfc797eac453b97f.jpg)
He avoids you at all costs. Can't be in the same room as you without spontaneously combusting. Always gives an excuse to be away from you. Hinata noticed this and asked him about it. Kageyama being Kageyama hit poor Hinata with a volleyball and told him to mind his own business.
When you got paired up with him for a project he thought it was the end of his life. He almost stopped breathing and one of his seat mates had to shake him back to life.
After school you walked up to him and asked him for his number. Kageyama was with Hinata walking to volleyball practice. With shaky hands he typed out his number on your phone. He almost dropped it while handing it to you but Hinata caught it. You told Kageyama that you had already planned out the project in your free time and that you just wanted him to look through it and make any changes. He nodded, running away to the gym.
During practice Hinata asked Kageyama if he was your boyfriend and Kageyama lost it. They ended up fighting and Daichi had to step in to stop them.
The two of you met in a Cafe to do your project. Kageyama ordered plain milk which got him a weird look from you and the waiter. After finishing the work you started asking him about his hobbies, likes and dislikes.
"So, Kageyama, what do you do when you're bored?" "I, uhh, I'm usually occupied with volleyball, but sometimes I drink milk when I'm really bored."
"Drink milk? That's ‐That's a nice... hobby." The dork's eyes lit up and he nodded fast. You complimented him!!! He's a baby I love him
From then on he started talking to you more. He became more comfortable and even invited you to some of his matches. They way you would scream his name whenever he scored a point always put a smile on his face. He would look at you from the court and give you a tiny awkward thumbs up.
The team noticed his obvious crush on you and realized that if they didn't intervene then the two of you would never date. So they decided to take matters to their own hands.
Tanaka and Nishimura asked Hinata to invite you to practice one day. You agreed and came to the gym. You were sitting with Yachi and talking. But your attention was fully on Kageyama. He looked so beautiful when he played.
One by one, the teams headed out giving various excuses leaving only you and Kageyama behind. It was awkward but you were able to hold a conversation with him. Thought you didn't understand anything as it was about volleyball but you loved to hear him talk. Your stomach grumbled loudly and you blushed, apologizing. Kageyama quickly got out a packet of chocolate milk and gave it to you. "I tried this recently and thought you would like it. I have been wanting to give it to you for a long time." His face was redder than a tomato and he refused to meet your eyes.
From then, he would always bring you chocolate milk during lunch and before he left for practice. He even walked you home when he was free.
He stopped midway, while walking with you after school, making you stop too. He swallowed hard and stared at you for a good minute. You were getting worried but before you could ask him anything, he bent down and yelled. "L/N, I REALLY REALLY LIKE YOU. I LIKE YOU MORE THAN MILK. AND I LIKE YOU AS MUCH AS I LIKE VOLLEYBALL. PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR BOYFRIEND."
Some people opened the windows of their house to see what the yelling was about. With so many eyes on you and Kageyama pouring out his heart to you in a rather aggressive manner, you felt your knees go weak. You asked him to quiet down and helped him straighten up.
"L/N do you like me too? Please tell me." "God, yes. But please let's go somewhere else, people are staring at us."
He smiled and his eyes sparkled. He excitedly pulled out something from his bag and handed it to you. It was a pack of chocolate milk, but the packing had small pictures of volleyball on it. Kageyama was holding a similar one. "I-I thought you would like this," he said.
You hugged him tightly, ignoring the squeak he let out. He slowly wrapped his arms around you and hugged you back. "I like you a lot Tobio."

Chapter III
Kuroo Tetsurou x GN! Reader
Tokyo Ghoul AU
Genre: Angst
Warnings: mentions of blood, a bit of gore
yeah im alive. i have no excuse for not posting but im deeply sorry. here's a long-ish chapter. please enjoy :)
![Red](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8b52b94a303b340ac1d2e007d34bc349/22895f0314cd2071-9d/s500x750/eaa759476a2b6ee7e09f5e7f275e2f89cbfd77b1.jpg)
Kuroo had called that night. The night after that, and for every night for about three weeks now. Since you were busy with the investigation and Kuroo with college, you two talked more through phone calls and texts than meeting up.
Maeda Akako and Ishii Fujita were the two other squad members. They weren't much trouble, except for how restless and reckless the two were. They seemed to be perfectly disciplined, which was a good thing. The squad had warmed up to you as much as you had to them.
You alternated patrolling the city with your squad so as to get to know them more. It worked with everyone except Suzuki. She answered to only what was asked, nothing more nothing less. Her answers were vague and she never talked about herself. You let it pass as it did not interfere with the investigation. And also, she had extraordinary skills and followed orders without questioning.
"L/N-san," Ishii called. "Inoue and I have a lead about Nekoma's whereabouts. We came across another ghoul during today's morning patrol. We got some info outta him."
Inoue handed you a notepad. The scribbled handwriting was hard to read but you could make out what was written.
"Are you two sure she's not lying? What if this was some false information to throw us off?" Maeda asked.
"Maeda is right," said Suzuki. "Usually, ghoul organizations give false information to the weak ghouls. This way, if they're caught by us it would be no threat to the organization."
"You're right Suzuki," you said. You were having second thoughts about your opinion. What if it was the real hideout? Or what if it was the hideout for the weaker ghouls? Surely, you could not let it go. You had to see the place empty of ghouls with your own eyes to believe the information was false.
"But, Suzuki and I will go there and make sure it's not a hideout. We can't rule out the possibility that the ghouls are there, right? Inoue, Ishii thank you for getting us a lead."
Inoue blushed and muttered a small thank you. Ishii, however, was frowning. "But, if that place turns out to be their actual hideout then how will you fight them? Won't you be overpowered?"
You opened your mouth to answer, but Suzuki was already talking. "We will be going undercover. And we will just be checking the area for ghoul activity. If our suspicions are confirmed, we will get back immediately and plan an attack. Am I right, L/N-san?"
You couldn't help but smile. "Yes, you are."
![Red](https://64.media.tumblr.com/67a56173a445a8948a79bcea7804c468/22895f0314cd2071-9a/s500x750/2b0a7487a4444af3957f3190cc58980a568eefc1.jpg)
"Kuroo Tetsurou."
Yaku sounded dangerously calm. This was bad news.
"It has been four fucking weeks and you still haven't an idea how much the Doves know about us. Are you playing a joke?"
Tetsurou swallowed. Yaku was a total demon when he was angry. And Yaku looked beyond angry now. He looked at Kenma for help, but he smirked at Tetsurou and continued to play on his phone.
He smiled and hoped to lighten the mood. "Now, now. I can't just ask L/N-chan how much they know. It'll blow my cover."
Yaku looked unimpressed. Tetsurou continued.
"I'm gaining their trust. This takes some time, of course. L/N-chan is a Dove. One small slip up and I'll be rotting in Cochlea. I need more time Yaku, rushing things won't be good. I have to make sure they trust me. And then, slowly I'll leak everything they know about us."
Yaku raised an eyebrow. "And then?"
"Then what?"
"What will you do after getting what we want?"
Tetsurou laughed. It was cold and the sound bounced off the walls of the room. "You act so smart even though you are so stupid deep down. I'll kill them, of course! What else am I supposed to do?"
"You better."
![Red](https://64.media.tumblr.com/67a56173a445a8948a79bcea7804c468/22895f0314cd2071-9a/s500x750/2b0a7487a4444af3957f3190cc58980a568eefc1.jpg)
The address Ishii and Inoue gave led to an abandoned, half-finished apartment complex. It was pretty far away from both the CCG and your home so you had made sure to carry your quinque. Apparently, the construction was stopped as the builder was involved in a sort of a gamble, lost all his money and could not pay his workers.
A few homeless people slept in sleeping bags near the thick cement pillars of the building. The sound of rain drops falling on the ground was audible despite the snoring.
Suzuki tugged on your sleeve causing you to stop walking. She pointed to a flight of stairs and tilted her head. Let's go upstairs.
You agreed and made your way as silently as possible. The stairs had no railings and were narrow. One had to be careful while climbing.
The next floor was empty. However, it stank of something rotten. You looked at Suzuki, she too seemed to notice something was off.
"L/N-san," Suzuki whispered. "I'll go check that side. You check here."
You agreed even though you knew splitting up was a bad idea. "If something bad happens, yell. Okay?"
Suzuki nodded, and the two of you split. You walked silently on the dust covered cement. Small spots of red caught your attention. Bending down, you rubbed a gloved finger over it. Dry. The reddish brown color was proof that someone was here not long ago. You looked around for more and found a few more spots that led you to an empty room. Or so you thought.
There was a soft gasp, which you later realized was your own. A body lay on the ground. The woman—you could tell from the unscratched face—had her throat slit open. Her arms and legs were bitten all over. The wall behind the corpse was painted in blood.
The smell of rotting flesh made bile rise up to your throat. As a ghoul investigator, you had seen worse than this. But, you could never get used to this.
The woman's eyes stared up at you, devoid of life. You bent down slowly and closed her eyes. Uttering a quick prayer, you searched the area for any kagune secretions or markings. You sent a quick text to your squad asking them come as soon as possible.
You got out of the room and searched for Suzuki. You found her talking to a man kneeling on the floor, with his hands behind his head.
"Suzuki, what's going on?" you asked.
She turned, which made it easy for you to get a look at the man. Your blood ran cold when the all-too-familiar hazel eyes met yours. Messy hair that stuck out in all directions, slanted eyebrows, broad shoulders-were too familiar.
Kuroo Tetsurou was kneeling behind Suzuki, hands behind his head, blood across his face and shirt.
"L/N?" Kuroo's eyes were wide like saucers.
Before you could speak, Suzuki asked, "You know L/N-san?"
He nodded. "Yes. We met in a cafe, I spilled their coffee. We met again and we became friends."
"Is what he's saying true L/N-san?"
"That's not how you put it, but, it's true nonetheless." You agreed.
A lopsided grin spread on Kuroo's face. When he spoke, he sounded like he was talking to a lost child. "You shouldn't be here, L/N-chan. It's dangerous."
You ignored him. Job first, Kuroo later.
"Why are you covered in blood? What are you even doing here?" A bloody corpse and a suspect covered in blood. You knew what it was, but, god you wanted to be wrong. You did not want Kuroo to be a ghoul.
"Uhh, I'll start with the second question first." Kuroo licked his lips. "A friend—enemy, to be precise—called me here. Said they wanted to 'set things right'. However, I did not know he wanted to do it by stabbing me." He shrugged a little at the end.
"Enemy? Stab you?"
"I have a lot of enemies. Most of them want me dead."
You took a deep breath. "You are a college student, Kuroo. Why would anyone want to kill you?"
"I may have pissed off the members of yakuza." He wouldn't look at you. His bangs covered one of eyes as he looked down.
"You-what?"
Kuroo opened his mouth to explain, but you cut him off. "No. Forget that. Don't talk- no. And stay here."
You dragged Suzuki away from him, stopping when you were out of his earshot. You whispered to her as low as possible: "I found a body of a woman in a room, on the other side of the building. I'm positive it was done by a ghoul."
Suzuki nodded, eyes dark. "Do you think he has anything to do with it?"
"I'm not a hundred percent sure he's human. We are somewhat friends, and-and why would a ghoul befriend an investigator?"
"I don't know, L/N-san. With what we have, it's safe to say he is a ghoul. And the story he told us is crap."
You rubbed your temples in frustration. His explanation was not true and you knew it. Kuroo Tetsurou was a cocky, laid back man with a heart of gold. Or so you thought. Or so he made you think.
Kuroo Tetsurou was not a ruthless, cold hearted ghoul who preyed on the innocent. Or so you wanted to believe.
"L/N-chan!" Kuroo's voice echoed in the empty building. "You might want to save me."
Surrounding Kuroo were five masked ghouls, their kagune ready to attack you three. Four of them slowly walked towards you and Suzuki. Their masks had the outline of a green snake curled on the side. The fifth one pulled up Kuroo by his shirt.
You had sent a text to your squad, you remembered. They must be on their way.
Kuroo looked at you, fear etched across his face. The ghoul holding him, shoved him forward. Kuroo stumbled.
"It's been a while since I have had some meat," he muttered. He had a gold snake on his mask unlike the others. The ghoul pushed his mask up a little and bit Kuroo's shoulder.

![Late Night (Early Morning) Calls](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f61b54ed7345fe89a3e462dd6398ad69/258738b438a1d29a-ca/s500x750/7e834585129432a4ca9074a2df9c6f6ebdaa9369.jpg)
Shouyou tapped his finger lightly on the keyboard, growing impatient with each passing second. His laptop screen was the only light source in his dark room. He squinted and decided to turn on the blue light filter. He didn't want to ruin his eyesight.
"Idiot-yama pick up the call," he murmured.
After seconds that felt like an eternity, the blue-haired, blue-eyed setter, best friend (lover?) appeared on the screen. The messy state of his hair and his groggy eyes said that he had just woken up. Not spotting the collar or sleeves of a shirt, Shouyou realized Kageyama was shirtless. He leaned and looked down as if he could see Kageyama in his shirtless glory. Shouyou mentally kicked himself.
"Sleepy-yama finally woke up!"
"Shut up, dumbass." He yawned and scratched his head. "Shouldn't you be asleep? What's the time there?"
Shouyou turned and picked up his watch from the bedside table. Light from the laptop screen helped him read the time. "It's around 2:45."
Kageyama frowned. "Go to sleep. We can talk some other time."
"Is that worry Kageyama? You worry about me?" The red head wiped a fake tear. Teasing him was the best, after volleyball of course.
Kageyama only tch-d to Shouyou's dismay. The camera moved and now Kageyama seemed to be walking. His room was well organized and clean, unlike Shouyou's, which looked like it had been hit by a storm. The screen went black for a second after which Kageyama's kitchen came into view. It was small but pretty nonetheless. Sunlight seeped in through a window which was out of view. Shouyou's ears perked up when he heard a small meow.
"What was that? Is that a cat? Do you have a cat?" Kageyama having a cat was unbelievable. Kageyama and cat were two words that could never be put together. Shouyou started to think he was hallucinating due to lack of sleep.
However, his thoughts came to a stop when Kageyama entered the camera's view cradling a cat between his forearm and his side. The cat's ginger fur was a stark contrast to Kageyama's pale skin. Pale skin? Wait. Shouyou's eyes widened and his face started to heat up when he realized that the setter was still shirtless.
"God, yes. I have a cat," Kageyama sighed. He brought the cat near the camera. The red head's face was now as bright as his hair. A closeup of the setter's half naked body was not helping. And Shouyou did not burn the image to the back of his mind. Nope.
He gulped and hoped his voice wasn't weird when he spoke. "What's his name? You gave it a name right?"
"Of course!" Kageyama quipped. He looked away, hesitant. His face was light shade of red. (Was he blushing?) Shouyou thought it was because of the sunlight.
He grinned a teasing grin. "You named it something weird didn't you?" Knowing Kageyama, he probably named the cat Orange Milk.
"No, dumbass. I named him Haru. Haru as in sunshine."
Shouyou might be an idiot. He might also be a dumbass. But, he knew when people got really flustered. He knew how to make them blush really hard. (His time in Brazil had taught him a few things other than volleyball). Kageyama was blushing. He was rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding eye contact, a gesture Shouyou was all too familiar with.
Kageyama picked up Haru and brought him in front of the camera. Haru pawed at the screen and meowed. "He's saying hello... ? I don't know, I don't speak cat."
Haru was a cute cat. Shouyou liked him already. "Kageyama finally got a cat to like him? Unbelievable! The sky might as well have turned green."
Kageyama pouted. Hinata smirked when he noticed that Kageyama's face was as bright as Haru's fur. "It was getting lonely here," he said. "I wanted to get a pet but none of the animals would like me. Except this one. He started rubbing against my leg and wouldn't let go. So, I adopted him."
"Aw that's so sweet. I might cry."
They went silent after that. A comfortable one where they just sat and pretended to be near each other. Haru continued pawing at the screen, as if trying to touch Shouyou, who was sadly on the other side of the planet. Kageyama was the one to break the silence.
"When will you be back?"
Shouyou didn't answer right away. When exactly did he plan to come back? Was he ready? Was he better? Most important of all: had he caught up to Kageyama? He wasn't sure. Brazil was a nice place, filled with nice people and nice food and nice volleyball players. Playing beach volleyball everyday was like heaven to him.
But, Brazil wasn't home. It wasn't Miyagi, where he grew up with his sister, Natsu. He didn't have his family here. His friends weren't here, too. There were no meat buns, none of his teammates from Karasuno. There was no Kageyama.
No matter how the situation was, he had come to Brazil to get better. And, he wasn't leaving until he was.
"I'll be back when I have caught up to you. Then, I'll beat you for sure and you'll buy me ten meat buns."
Kageyama smiled. "Keep dreaming. I'll be the one to win."
Shouyou opened his mouth to retort but was cut off by the setter. "Get some sleep, dumbass. How can I play against you when you come back sleep-deprived and looking like a zombie."
"Bakageyama," Shouyou faked annoyance. He laughed and Kageyama did, too. After exchanging good nights and good mornings the two smiled at each other before cutting the call. Shouyou kept his laptop aside and flopped onto his bed. He rubbed his eyes and made a mental note to buy blue light filter glasses.
A huge smile danced on his lips when he remembered Kageyama's bright red face. Next time, Shouyou would definitely mess with Kageyama and make him blush till he looked like tomato. It was finally time to use the flirting skills Heitor had taught him. He let out a soft chuckle and rolled over onto his side.
He would train really hard, become better than everyone and then go back home. He would meet his family, friends and meet Kageyama and his cat Haru. Shouyou fell asleep with a smile on his face and dreamed of living with a certain setter and a certain cat that looked suspiciously like him.
