Summary
The best part about being the writing tutor for a boy with a roman numeral at the end of his name (Jose “Waks” Wakatoshi IV) was the free lunch.
“Can you help me with my essays?" he asked. "I'll make you libre ng lunch after class, promise."
(On being nineteen and walking to the car with a boy you like who maybe likes you back.)

Summary
Kiyoomi woke up knowing deep in his being that it was a bad day. The persistent dread had lodged inside his head again, an ambient, slow thrumming, its sound serrated and misshapen.
Atsumu could give him quiet. He had almost forgotten what it was like before, when he lived alone.
Yearning was a strange emotion. It wasn't a feeling but the absence of one, like something in his chest was slowly being scooped out.
(Kiyoomi has a series of bad days. Atsumu is away in France.)

Summary
Akinori considered cancelling. If he told everyone, they’d understand. No one would rib him about it, even if they could only meet once every three months now, if that.
He wouldn’t have needed to think about going, had his girlfriend of two years not broken up with him last night.
(Konoha gets dumped, goes out with his friends, and shares some fieldnotes on heartbreak and forgetting.)
Updated with CH 2: CODA - Bokuto walks home with Akaashi and wonders at Tokyo's secrets.

Summary
Nearing the fourth hour of the silent treatment, Kiyoomi’s already frayed nerves began to whittle down to their last fibers.
Today, it was raining. A proper Tokyo monsoon tantrum just shy of a full-blown typhoon that left puddles on sidewalks and fell from an angle so wicked it eluded umbrellas. It was raining and they haven’t spoken in almost four hours.
(In which Sakusa wanders into the minefield that is Atsumu's feelings and tries not to blow things up.)

Summary
Enter Bokuto: Life, as we know it, is turned on its head. What would be so great about him that would merit him an Akaashi in his life, what good did he do in his past life for this; was he a saint?
Enter Akaashi: Bokuto's sweeping declarations and booming laughter settle into the sweetest song when Bokuto finally speaks his name. Breath always hitches, knees always go a little bit wobbly, heart rate goes a tad higher.
Enter the conflict: None of them have any intentions of letting the other know these things.

A different BokuAka, grittier than mine, but no less compelling.

Summary
The breeze loosens the wisteria blooms. They fall, scattered across their laps, purple and sticky and sweet. Akaashi feels one land on his hair. He reaches up for it, about to bat it away.
Bokuto leans over and murmurs, “can I?”
Akaashi nods.

Summary
Akaashi puts the ball up over and over for nobody as the sun rises outside, and he is reminded, with every eight, nine and ten, how blessed he is to be a setter at Fukurodani.

This fic unspools like a piece of tightly knotted thread holding together a secret pile of love letters hidden in an old filing cabinet in the attic.
