    From the time Tanaka Ryūnosuke had met her, he knew she was his soulmate.  Soulmates were a tricky ordeal in a world where people preferred to make their own decisions over fate. But not for Ryūnosuke. He knew from the time he was introduced to his sister’s soulmate, that he would chase this ordeal his entire life. Tenma and his sister were perfect, they had met in high school, danced around each other while Tenma focused on volleyball, and eventually fell in love, confirming they were soulmates only after getting to know each other. But, there were two tattooed kanji on his left wrist - “K.S.”. When the “K” first came in, he thought it could be Kanoka, but once the “S” finished its arrival he knew it couldn’t be. The initials formed at different times; the first-name initial usually showed up before you turned 9, and the last name showed up after 13. Despite the awkwardness, they stayed close friends, and sometimes Ryūnosuke truly wondered if the whole soulmate thing was b@llsh@t. He was proven very, very wrong.  Meeting her for the first time felt like being slapped in the face. He was waiting with the other people in his grade who wanted to join the volleyball team. He was grumpy and annoyed and wished for nothing more than to have a brawl with someone. His now friends, Kinosh@ta and Narita, sat on the other side of the gym, looking at him from the corner of their eyes like they wanted to tell him to calm down but didn’t know how to. Then she ran in, jumping a little. Her hair was black, but looked reflective almost, and reminded him of onyx. Her eyes turned to look at him, and widened as if she felt  it  too, and they were a startlingly beautiful grey that reminded him of cloudy skies. Her glasses covering her eyes were just as cute as the rest of her, and he found his heart beating outside of his chest. He stood up straight before staring at her, she was  gorgeous. He doesn’t think he’s ever met a woman who could compare to the beauty that was this woman. “K.S” he had to assume, because there was something that felt like pulling her into him, that made it nearly impossible to stop himself from bowing and screaming:  “Marry me, please!” It was stupid- they were in high school for hell’s sake! Where did he get off thinking they could actually get married  now ? She hesitated, and he glanced up to see something flicker through her eyes- amusement, maybe? She huffed and shook her head, “No.” But there was something in her eyes that told him this wasn’t the last time he’d be asking.  - He made friends with the other first-years pretty quickly after that. Nishinoya Yū was probably his best friend, and matched his energy and sometimes was even more intense than Ryūnosuke himself! It was a little bit of a relief, and that fact made him smile. When the two of them were talking during practice, in order to make her comfortable, ignored to the best of his ability her eyes that were boring into his back. Noya, on the other hand, had no problem pulling him down and whispering, “She’s staring at you, Ryuū! What did you do?!” Ryūnosuke tried not to blush, “Noya-san… if I show you something, will you keep quiet about it?” Noya’s face got seriously intense and nodded. Ryūnosuke pulled down the band he kept over his wrist and showed him the mark - “K.S.” which he looked at daily because even though they had only met a couple months ago- he was sure it was her.  Noya’s eyes went wide, “Holy sh@t, that’s insane! Well, I should show you mine, since I can’t seem to figure out who it could be! There’s no girl with these initials…” Ryūnosuke resisted the urge to deadpan. Anyone with eyes could see that Asahi-san was his soulmate. It had also helped that he'd  seen his upperclassman’s mark, which was on the back of his neck, so if you were standing behind him for long periods of time, you could see; it said “Y.N.”. Ryūnosuke never said anything, of course, cause that was for the two of them to figure out.  Noya pulled up his shorts, to show a “A.A.” on his upper thigh, and Ryūnosuke nodded sagely, like he wasn’t plotting to lock the two of them in a closet. “Oi! Tanaka, Nishinoya, what are you two idiots doing?!” Daichi Sawamura yelled from where he stood by the current captain, Kurokawa-san, who was looking more exhausted as the days went by. Ryūnosuke sometimes wondered why the man still worked as hard as he did. Not that Ryūnosuke minded, but he was sure Sawamura-san was going to be the captain next year. Sugawara Koushi let out a laugh from the other side, causing the other to look at him affectionately, which caused Nishinoya and Ryūnosuke to make eye contact and smirk. “Well at least we’re not flirting in public!” Ryūnosuke wiggled his eyebrows, continuing to ignore the eyes boring into him continuously, “Right, Noya-san?” “Oh come on you two,” Ennosh@ta Chikara groaned from the other side, “Don’t bother Sawamura-san and Sugawara-san,” he leaned in and whispered, “Everyone knows they’re soulmates but them, d@mn.” Ryuu howled and laughed, before putting an arm over the other, “D@mn Chikara, you’re cold! Ice cold!” Nishinoya jumped on the other’s back, nearly causing him to fall down, “You’re hilarious! Why didn’t you tell us?” Ennosh@ta threw the two of them a glare, “Calm down, you two are making a big deal out of nothing.” Ryūnosuke looked over his shoulder to see Asahi-san staring rather intently at Noya, before realizing Ryūnosuke caught him, which cause the other one to look away with a blush. Ryūnosuke snorted.  Those two made sense. Someone shy like Asahi-san needs someone wild like Noya-san to keep him moving.   “You two are idiots,” Kinosh@ta Hisashi nodded sagely, “Seriously, what are we going to do with you?” Narita snorted, putting his head on the other’s shoulder, “Tell ‘em, babe.” “Babe?!” Noya’s eyes widened, “what?!” “We’re soulmates, ass,” Kinoshita laughed, “Found out in the changing room.  Super awkward.” Narita blushed, “You-” “Okay you two are gross,” Daichi groaned from beside the captain who just laughed and handed Daichi the key. “I assume you’re staying for extra practice, make sure to lock up after you guys are done.” “Yes captain!” Even Kiyoko stuck around. - It was the end of his first year when everything went poorly the first time. Something broke between the team the day the mop did.  Ryūnosuke doesn’t think he’s ever seen Noya so upset. His eyes were angry, like he was discovering heartbreak for the first time. Asahi was actually yelling, and Daichi was just trying to calm everyone down. Ryūnosuke doesn’t think he can handle this as he grabbed Noya and pulled him away after Asahi disappeared out the door.  He forces the other to sit down and smacks him across the face. The others stare in shock. “Dude. Don’t say shit you’ll regret later,” it comes out harsher than he meant to, “He’s upset. You’re upset. You know it aches for reasons more than just volleyball. Don’t be f@ck@ng dense. Don’t act like a dumbass. You get one soulmate.  One . Don’t be a f@ck@ng jackass,” Ryūnosuke doesn’t think he’s ever been this serious in his life. Even if those two weren’t soulmates, anyone can tell they have something going on. They’re always around each other, even when Ryūnosuke asks Noya to hang out, he says he’s with Asahi-san. Anyone with eyes can see it, “Dude. Take a breath.” But, if there were such a thing as a platonic soulmate in this life, he was sure he and Noya would be the first ones to do it here. He watches Noya go through the five stages of grief in a matter of seconds. He takes a step back, letting him breathe. He's surprised Daichi-san hasn't said anything yet.  He’s surprised Kiyoko hasn’t scolded him yet. “Thank you, Ryū.” “Sure, Noya, let’s go.” Ryūnosuke pulls his idiot best friend up and they leave the club room, careful to avoid wherever Asahi went. -

  daichi 
Thank you for handling Noya today, Tanaka.We don’t give you enough credit. I’ll reach out to Asahi as soon as he’s done pouting. I don’tappreciate the violence, but I get you did whatneeded to be done. 
  tanaka 
Sometimes the only way someone likeNoya will respond to is a smack to theface. I know he’d have done the samething to me if I did some stupid shit likethat to my soulmate. It’s different causeI don’t have to navigate a relationship on the same sports team, but I know if I did,Noya would rock my shit.  
  Daichi 
You’re much more observant that wegive you credit for. I’m sure you knowShimizu is… 
  Tanaka
I knew the moment I saw her. I would never pressure her into anything. 
  Daichi

  [ dm with sugawara & tanaka ]
 
  sugawara 
I’m sure Daichi already talked to you about this,but thank you for handling Noya today. 
  Tanaka
He’s a person, he didn’t need “handling” he justis worried about Asahi-san, as we all are. It doesn't mean he’s an animal, just passionate. 
  Sugawara 
Good point. Hopefully everything blows over tomorrow… - Everything did not in fact blow over.  Asahi-san hadn’t been to practice in months. Noya-san had been banned. Ryūnosuke was confused. But then, those idiot first years showed up. He watched as the red-head, chibi-chan, Hinata Shōyō and Kageyama Tobio, a first-year genius setter, and there was an anger in each of their eyes that caused Ryūnosuke to snicker. Maybe this is what their team needed, to help ease the tension. But then the two idiots p@ss@d off Daichi-san and were kicked out. He listened to Daichi-san explain his thinking and he was right, because  of course  he was. Sugawara watched intently as Daichi explained his reasoning, and Ryūnosuke bit back an annoyed groan. Of course when he needed Noya here, he was gone. The next few days went by, the other two first years were just as pretentious- well at least the taller one was. Tsukishima Kei was quiet and annoying and held himself with a blazing flare that told people to f@ck off. He got a glance at his wrist, where his initials were, and realized in amusement, that it was also “T.K.”, and Tsukishima’s was “K.T.” Hopefully Tsukishima’s soulmate was getting a kick out of this, because it was objectively  hilarious.   The practice match against Sejoh went surprisingly well, and of course, their pretty boy captain was something that was more annoying than most. But, it was obvious he wasn’t all that interested in the attention he got from his fangirls- well, Ryuu tended to be more observant than most about this sort of thing, but people didn’t tend to notice that he was, so it was fun. He also was amused at the “K.B.” that was visible on his collarbone, sometimes people wanted to attract their soulmate that way. The other’s ace, Iwaizumi Hajime, seemed to be doing the same thing, his own “K.A.” was showing on his exposed forearm. Sometimes Ryuu was thankful his mark was easily covered up cause he was not in the business of making Kiyoko uncomfortable.                                                             Then, at the end, Oikawa came out being all mysterious and trying to intimidate them, but Ryūnosuke was sure he was also scouting to see if there was the  pull  . Other than the initials, there was usually a pull when you’re around your soulmate. That’s probably why he was always circling Kiyoko, besides trying to keep her safe. Kageyama made some comments about how Oikawa liked to rile people up, and then Daichi-san remarked how he wasn’t all that wrong. Their receives  did  need some work. He glanced at Tsukishima, who had been awfully quiet since the end of the game. Oikawa did send quite a few serves his way. Yamaguchi looked like he wanted to comfort the other, but wasn’t sure how.  But, Nishinoya should be coming back soon. And Daichi’s dramatic ass called him the  Guardian Deity of Karasuno, not that he was wrong, but… a serious way to make Noya’s ego grow. - “Noya! You’re back!” Ryūnosuke smiled when he walked into the gym and saw Noya talking it up with Hinata, “Making friends with the other shortie on the team?” “I’m not that short, Tanaka-senpai!” Hinata groaned, and that feeling never got old as the younger fake cried.  “Shut up, boke! It helps us win!” Kageyama yelled from the side, and before he could cover it up, Ryuu took notice of two initials underneath his left ear - “S.H.”.  
   Oh this was bound to be interesting.  
 He grinned at Kageyama, and to his complete surprise, the other’s face lit up like a tomato, and he turned around and stormed off. “Oi, Tanaka! Don’t scare the first years!” Daichi smacked the back of his head when he came in, “Good to see you back, Nishinoya.” Noya grinded eagerly before noticing Kiyoko, he turned to look at Ryūnosuke and wiggled his eyebrows, “Thanks Captain!” he saluted, “Where’s Asahi?” The other third years cringed and Ryūnosuke almost felt bad for the first years as they hadn’t seen this hash out, hadn’t seen the heartbreak in either one of their eyes.  “That coward! Well I’m not coming back unless he’s here!” Noya growled, a protectiveness in the younger’s eyes, “I can’t believe him!”  Noya stormed out of the gym, taking his jacket and bag with him, leaving Ryuu frowning, leaning towards his friend.  - “Tanaka.” He glanced up and his eyes widened,  Kiyoko!  “Kiyoko-san!” he stood up and tried not to fidget too much as he took her in. She was gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, and he wanted nothing more than to learn everything that made her Kiyoko.  What was she doing in the second-years’ hallway? What had he done to be so lucky?   As if sensing his thoughts, she turned her head away, as if fighting a blush, it made his heart squeeze, “Daichi told me to give you this.” He looked down and opened it, it was the new numbers for the volleyball group chat. Without… Asahi. He took a deep breath. Asahi wasn’t his soulmate, but he understood to a degree where Noya was coming from, Asahi was a part of their team. Their  ace . He didn’t want to snap at his soulmate, but if he didn’t get out of here, he might. He took another breath and handed it back to Kiyoko, “Thank you, Kiyoko-san. But, I want to wait a little more before deciding to move past Asahi-san. I can let Daichi know if it works better for you.” “Oh,” Kiyoko nodded, “That makes sense.” Ryūnosuke smiled at her, and then offered his hand out to grab the paper from her, she reached to place it, and their hands touched. His eyes widened, and there it was, “R.T.” sitting on the top of her wrist, and when his head snapped up to meet her eyes, she was blushing bright red. His eyes widened and took a step back. “I’m so sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Kiyoko-san!” He backed up and put his hands up, bowing deeply. He looked back at her when he heard a sound that sounded suspiciously like a giggle.  She held a hand over her mouth and then looked away, “Ah, it’s quite alright, Tanaka-san.” “Ryūnosuke is fine, Kiyoko-san!” “Ryū-san then.” Ryūnosuke fainted.  - “What do you mean he just fainted?!” “That’s just it, Daichi, I called him  Ryuu-san  and he fainted.” “Oh, that’s why.” - When they went to the training camp, Ryūnosuke learned three things. One, Kuroo Tetsuro, Nekoma’s third-year captain, was bratty Tsukishima Kei’s soulmate. Two, top five ace Bokuto Koutarou was definitely Oikawa Tooru’s soulmate, and he didn’t know how the hell those two were ever going to meet. Third, Akaashi Keiji, the second-year setter for Bokuto, was Iwaizimi’s soulmate, Sejoh’s Ace and Oikawa’s best friend. He wondered if every best friend duo wondered if they were meant to be soulmates instead.  He doesn’t know how, but he ends up alone with Bokuto at some point.  “Say, Tanaka,” the older man gulps down some water after a long day, “What do you think about soulmates?” Ryūnosuke snorts, “They’re real, if that’s what you're asking, Bokuto-senpai.” “Really? You think? I’ve never met anyone with the initials “T.O.” and felt the pull I’ve heard so much about,” he whined, “Have you met your soulmate?” Ryūnosuke wondered if this was an appropriate conversation for a minute. Soulmates were considered private, sacred even. They were something to be discussed among friends if anything. But, if Bokuto-senpai was talking to  him about it, then he wonders if he doesn’t feel safe talking about it with anyone else.  He decides it’s fine, rather quickly. “Yeah,” he hums softly, “You know our older manager?” “Holy shit, really? Are you two together?” “Not yet, I think she may want to wait till we graduate. I’m a year younger, but when people tell you that they would wait forever once you meet them… I get it. I really get it.” “Wow,” Bokuto breathed in amazement, and then as if making an impulsive decision, pulled down his shirt to show his collarbone, a resounding “T.O.” sat there, as if it were etched in perfectly, “Er… have you met anyone in Myagi with a mark in this place- that’s probably stupid, who would-” “Actually,” he stopped him, “I have. I think he keeps his collarbone exposed in hopes of finding you.” Bokuto didn’t even blink at “ he”  and said, “Wait- are you  serious?! ” “I don’t mess around about this whole soulmate thing. My sister met her soulmate in high school, a guy named Tenma, and  don’t tell Hinata I told you this but I’m 90% sure he’s the little giant from way back.” Bokuto laughed loudly and freely, “Yeah I’m sure that would drive Hinata up the wall until you introduced him. I guess what I wanted to ask is if it would be weird of me to visit Miyagi.” Ryūnosuke shrugged, “I mean, I don’t know how else you're gonna meet him, big dawg. Karasuno plans on beating them so we can make it to Nationals…” “Good point,” he glanced away, “What’s his name? Who you think it might be, that is…” “You’re just gonna look him up if I tell you.” “Hey! Who knows, maybe I’ll feel it through the screen!” “Yeah right,” he groaned, “Also, I saw Akaashi’s mark, I’m pretty sure his soulmate is also on the team your soulmate is on.” Bokuto’s eyes widened, “Wait, you saw it?” “I have a good eye,” he smirked, “Don’t tell people though, things work out better when I am looked down on.” Bokuto perked up, “That’s a good point!” “His name is Oikawa Tōru.” Bokuto’s eyes widened, “That sounds, like,  super familiar.” “Yeah well he’s won best setter award in Miyagi like a bunch of times, and if he’d made it to Nationals, he’d have gotten one of the best,” Ryūnosuke nods sagely, “He’s… amazing, but man, Shiratorizawa is a real annoying opponent even for Sejoh.” “So he goes to Sejoh!” “Yes, yes,” he nodded, “Good luck my fellow ace!” “Isn’t Azumane-san you guys’ ace?” “Yes, well hopefully I’m the ace next year.” Bokuto slapped him on the back, “I don’t doubt it!” - Watching Tsukishima and Kuroo interact was like trying to watch a tired cat approach an annoyed crow. Sometimes he thought the crow analogies were a bit much, but with these two it was  insane.   Hinata’s friend, Kenma, clearly thought it was amusing. He was sitting with Ryūnosuke’s friend Taketora Yamamoto, who was apparently the setter’s soulmate. Yamamoto had told him how they hated each other, but always seemed to be around each other, and then one day- they realized  why . Kenma seemed to be pretty nervous, and Yamamoto liked to rile him up. They were pretty cute when he sat and thought about it.  “Now, now, Tsukii, what have I told you about keeping your blocking effective?” Kuroo tutted as he approached the younger when they were practicing, which caused the younger’s face to blow bright red before he tucked his face into his shirt and turned around and ran. Ryūnosuke almost felt bad for the guy.  “Kuroo-san, don’t think about it too much,” Ryūnosuke appeared next to the older man, “Tsuki-poo is a d@ck to everyone.” “But-” “Yeah, I know,” Ryūnosuke hummed, “But maybe give him some space.” Kuroo laughed, “Maybe.” And when Ryūnosuke saw the two of them practicing with Bokuto, Akaashi, Lev, and Hinata a couple nights later, he was very pleased.  - The rest of the year flew by, because of course it did. He continued to talk to Kiyoko-san, offering to carry things for her, offering all sorts of things. He never pushed.  One time he got really close to committing heinous crimes on a man. His name was Terushima Yūji, a second year student like him, who tried flirting with Kiyoko. It would have driven him mad if he didn’t see the way Yamaguchi looked at him.  Yamaguchi’s initials were “Y.T.” and for a long time he wondered how Tsukishima felt about his best friend not being his soulmate, he was sure the two had also questioned the system from time to time, wondering why it wasn’t the other. He’d felt the same way till he met Kiyoko-san.  “It’s you!” The Johzenji captain said with bright eyes pointing towards Yamaguchi with a love sick expression on his face, a blush going all the way up to his ears, “I’ve found you!” He completely ignored everyone else as he walked right into Yamaguchi’s bubble, like he couldn’t help the gravitational pull, Yamaguchi’s eyes widened too before he glanced to the other’s hand, who was holding it out, wanting to show him something. Ryūnosuke took a peak- yep. There it was. The “T.Y.”  They were also a reverse soulmate pair , Ryūnosuke thought in amusement.   Yamaguchi blushed bright red, making him oddly similar to a strawberry, Ryūnosuke thought amusedly, “O-oh! I was not expecting this today!” “Me either, freckles! I think we’re in the same bracket!” the blonde blabbered with a wide goofy grin, “I’m sorry if this is too forward, but can I get your number? I want to get to know you more.” Ryūnosuke hummed from the side, glancing at Kiyoko in amusement. Her face was the usual blank expression it was usually. A slight tilt of her lips was the only indication that she was paying any attention to him.  I’ll never get used to that.   Ryūnosuke hummed to himself when he noticed Terushima backing up and almost laughed when the captain called Yamaguchi “Freckles” again and turned around to go be with his team. Tsukishima also took this time to make fun of his best friend, who had made a very big point to tease him about Kuroo. Ryūnosuke sometimes caught Tsukishima texting someone named “Tetsu<3” and frankly he never expected Tsukishima to use any sort of emoji, but if he did, those were the type he was going for sure. - Ryūnosuke was shocked when they ran into Oikawa Tōru at Nationals; or he was until he remembered his conversation with Bokuto at camp.  Of course, Kageyama was the first to notice him, “Oikawa-san!”  Oikawa Tōru turned around slowly, a sort of normal outfit on, but there was the key indicator something had happened. He was wearing a Fukurodani jacket that was definitely too big for him.  Wow bold, but this is Oikawa we’re talking about, he muses as he makes eye contact with Yū.  “Tobio-chan and company,” he turns with annoyance dancing in his eyes, “ Congratulations on defeating Shiratorizawa,” he then turns to Ryūnosuke, which causes the younger to raise his eyebrows, “And thank you, Tanaka-san. I hear I have you to thank for my soulmate paying me a visit.” And suddenly the entire team’s eyes were on him. “Tōru! You’re here!”  Everyone looked away to see Bokuto Kōtarō running down the hallway, and then picking up the setter and spinning him in a circle happily. This caused others to look over in amusement, mainly Akaashi who was following, with an annoyed looking Iwaizumi Hajime.  “Oi, Shittykawa what did I tell you about running off- oh. Kageyama and Karasuno,” his eyebrows were furrowed as he yelled at his best friend before softening at Akaashi gripping his arm for a moment, calming the other, “Yo, congratulations on beating Shiratorizawa.” That sounded  much more sincere. “Shoyo!” Bokuto laughed as he saw Hinata, “How are you my disciple?!” He asked, an arm still over Oikawa’s shoulder, who was looking affectionately at his boyfriend (?) with much more softness than Tanaka has ever seen. Kageyama looked equally as shocked. And the poor kid had known him so much longer.  “Ah! Bokuto-san! The Great King! How do you two know each other?” Ryūnosuke tried not to snort at how dense the younger one could be. “Oh! You know Tōru, Hinata?” and Hinata’s vigorous nod answered that so Bokuto laughed, “We’re soulmates!” Karasuno deadpanned. Collectively as a team. But honestly? Ryūnosuke could kinda see it. Bokuto was bright, kinda moody, and obsessed with volleyball. Oikawa, seemed at least, very self-assured and a bit snarky, but loved volleyball with a passion. They seemed to work, from the outside at least. Ryūnosuke was happy for them. “Oh wow, congratulations, Great King, Bokuto-san!” “Great King?” Bokuto asked in amusement, glancing at Oikawa who just rolled his eyes. Iwaizumi and Akaashi were talking with Daichi and Sugawara, who were both amused. Kageyama walked up to Oikawa, and looked like he wanted to say something. Oikawa took a deep breath, like he was finding some sort of patience. Ryūnosuke sometimes felt that way about Kageyama too.  “Oikawa-san.” “Hm? Yes, Tobio-chan?” “Did… you watch the game?” Oikawa was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to fight against something, some sort of odd rivalry he had with the younger. But, then as if something came over him, a smile (real, from what Ryūnosuke could tell. You can always tell if it’s fake, at least if you're as observant as him), that made Kageyama bristle. “Yeah, you did a great job.” Ryūnosuke happened to be looking over at Iwaizumi for a moment, and wondered why the other had a sort of proud smile on his face. It wasn’t loud or in your face, just quietly proud. Kageyama straightened up, “Oh, uh, thank you, Oikawa-san! Please continue to watch me, I’ll prove I’m better than you.” Oikawa snorted, like it was the funniest thing he’d ever heard, before doing something no one thought possible, and ruffling the other’s head, “You can try, Tobio-chan. Now then, Kouchan, can we go sit down before your first match? Traveling here from Miyagi was exhausting.” Kageyama was frozen, like there was something inherently fixed in him. Like everything that had ever bothered him no longer did. Oikawa looked back over, “Tobio-chan, you still have my number. Let’s meet up when you're free, I want to talk to you about a few things.” Kageyama, if possible, stood up even straighter, “Yes! Thank you, Oikawa-san.” “Calm down, Tobio-chan, you look as if I told you that you won the gold at the Olympics.” Hinata finally burst out laughing, gaining a glare from Kageyama, and an amused look from Bokuto, who then pressed a kiss to Oikawa’s cheek, like it was the most natural thing in the world. - Then, of course, because wherever Oikawa Tōru goes, the TV footage follows. He hadn’t meant to find it, but as he was sitting with the other seconds years, it came across his feed. 
  TOP FOUR ACE IN THE COUNTRY MEETS SOULMATE: OIKAWA TŌRU, ESTEEMED SETTER FROM MIYAGI PREFECTURE! 
 Ryūnosuke was nosey, of course, so he clicked on it.  “Yo, what’s that?” “Apparently people found out Bokuto’s dating Oikawa- they did a story on it!” “I feel like being soulmates is a little deeper than  dating ,” Ennoshita snorted, “Can we watch?” Ryūnosuke fidgeted, trying to get his phone to project against a TV for a couple minutes before it finally worked. The reporter stood across from Oikawa, who wore his best  people pleasing smile, and looked like he’d rather be anywhere than there. Bokuto was seen in the background, talking to another news group. “So, Oikawa Tōru, please tell us more about you!” Oikawa hummed in amusement, “Well, my name is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, I’m a third-year setter at Sejoh High School in the Miyagi prefecture, and I plan to pursue volleyball in college after I graduate.” The reporter’s eyes brightened at the easily given information, “Wonderful! Bokuto-seshu does seem like the type to want to be with another volleyball player! So, since you're from the prefecture where Shiratorizawa and Karasuno are from, I imagine that must have been difficult.” Ryūnosuke cringed for Oikawa, because that must have been awkward, especially for someone as volleyball obsessed as Oikawa seemed to be. “Yes, it was quite difficult, but I loved playing with my childhood best friend, Iwaizumi Hajime, for my final high school years.” “There is a rumor that Top Three Ace Ushijima Wakatoshi has made numerous attempts to get you to transfer to Shiratorizawa! We’re wondering if you had anything to say about that?” Ryūnosuke tried not to laugh at the barely contained anger on the older setter’s face. There was never a candle to the hate held for that man, even to Kageyama.   “Yes well, Ushijima-san is not accustomed to being told no,” Oikawa’s smile was very thin, the venom behind it obvious to those who even knew him a little, “Shiratorizawa would not have benefited from my setting as it was centered around Ushijima-san. My skills are centered around helping others be better, which is everyone. At the end of the day, every time I forget, it comes back to remind me that volleyball is  fun  . I love volleyball, and if I lose that playing with a man who does not appreciate  my setting abilities, then I lose the love of the game.” The reporter nodded vigorously, “Thank you for being so honest! We were wondering if you would tell us more about your relationship with Bokuto-seshu?” Oikawa’s demeanor was like a light switch, but then said man came up, tackling his lanky boyfriend from behind, “They bother you, Tōru?” Oikawa laughed, giving his boyfriend’s hand a squeeze, and the reporter blushed before looking down in embarrassment at the glare Bokuto leveled at her like he wasn’t on national television. Oikawa seemed to realize this too as he scolded him with just his eyes. “If it is okay with Kouchan, I do not mind telling people how we met. We are still new into dating, but…” “We’re soulmates!” Bokuto blurted, like he couldn’t help it. Ryūnosuke was sure if Bokuto wasn’t Oikawa’s soulmate, he’d have leveled him a glare equal to the one’s he gives Ushijima.  The reporter giggled, because  that was the headline , “Oh wow! When did you two know?” Oikawa smiles in appreciation at her, before humming, “Yes, Kouchan, when did we know?” - Ryūnosuke should have known they’d lose without Hinata, but it still hurt when they did. Trying to beat someone named “Hirugami The Immovable” without their number one decoy was a suicide play basically. Especially against Hoshiumi, basically Hinata’s double, but unfortunately had mastered the plays of The Little Giant.  Hinata didn’t get the same chances others did before high school when it came to volleyball, so honestly, he’s pretty surprised his kouhai is still fighting so desperately for this. He wonders where it will end.  If it will end. He hopes Kageyama and Hinata confess before he graduates next year. He’d really like to see those two work it out before Hinata goes and does something drastic.  But first:  “Let me carry that for you.” It isn’t the demand it comes out as, but it isn’t a question. Maybe command is a better word? It works because she smiles at him-  she’s smiling at him .  “Would you? Thank you,” her voice reminds him of a desert spring, she really is the closest thing to perfection the world could possibly create. He takes the bag. It’s light, of course it is because she’s always told him it was. He tells her it is. She replies, “I always said it was.” They walk back to the hotel together. Ukai said they could stay and watch the rest of Nationals if they wanted, but Hinata had to remain alone and therefore they had to stay here before anything went wrong. Especially with the Rona virus going around.  Before they exit their little moment, in the hallway, she grabs his hand. It’s soft and warm and everything he’s been dreaming about for the past two years. He pauses, and looks her way, because of course there was nowhere else he’d rather look. Gray eyes peering into his own, like they were trying to intake all of him. “I know you know,” her words come out like a whisper, “Do… Do you think it’s real?” There’s uncertainty there.  “Can I touch you?” his voice comes out softer than either one of them are used to. He’s sure Kiyoko didn’t think he was even capable of whispering, so when she nods, he grabs her hand softly, like it’s a treasure, “I cannot promise perfection, but I can promise I will try every day for you. I will work hard for us, both financially and for this relationship. These marks are guides, and I have known since the moment I laid eyes on you that you were who I wanted. I couldn’t even control my body, I asked you to marry me for hell’s sake,” his voice wobbles, but when she squeezes his hand, he finds strength, “I have never wanted anything more than I want you. I want to make this work. One chance, and I will work to prove everyday I am worthy of it.” She removed a hand from his tenderly, and it might have sent a jolt of panic down his spine if she didn’t immediately raise it to his cheek, affectionately holding it like it was her world. Like  he was her world.  “Oh Ryū- kun  , you know there was never anyone else. Why do you think I never engaged in anyone’s flirting? Sugawara-san’s teasing remark about marriage despite him and Daichi’s… predicament. I would never joke about this. About  us. ” Ryūnosuke knew he’d be lucky if she accepted the bond for what it was, but to hear she wanted to see it all the way through? It was something he could have never begun to hope for.  He did. He was allowed to. “When you graduate, let me take you on a date,” he whispered, just for them to hear. He’d always loved her so loudly, for this, he wanted it to be  their moment. “As if I’d say anything but yes.” -

 -  “Tanaka, I told you that you cannot just- oh are you okay?” Sugawara opened the door, thankfully, but looked a little tired. It made sense, the man had begun to work with children- a shiver ran down his spine. “Hey, sorry to bother you, uh… just needed to talk to you and Daichi-san if you don’t mind?” “Hm, oh sure,” Sugawara ushered him in, “And call me Kōshi, Tanaka!” “Then call me Ryūnosuke, Suga- Kōushi-senpai.” Kōushi laughed, “Fine, fine, Ryūnosuke then, come in, let’s chat till Daichi gets here. He’s been working overtime at the station.” “I find it amusing he became a cop, considering how much he liked to be on Yū and I’s ass in high school.” “Sigh, I know! I can’t believe how grown up everyone is. I hear Kageyama and Hinata finally worked it out, but not before Hinata made plans to go to Brazil!” “I can’t believe the shrimp decided to go, that’s insane! Tsukishima got into a university and will be playing for the Sendai Frogs!” “They’re all growing up so fast, I can’t believe little Yamaguchi was captain this year!” “I know. Him and Terushima seem happy.” Kōushi softened, “Alright, what’s up Ryū?” Ryūnosuke looked away, nerves getting to him, “So. I uh. I’m gonna propose.” Kōushi’s eyes blew wide, before a smile stretched across his face, “OH MY GOD! CONGRATULATIONS!” “Yes, she started dropping hints in our messages today,” and then he pulled out a ring. It was simple, a black band embedded with onyx, the initials “R.T.” on it, “But, between you and me I bought this a year ago.” “Of course you did,” he laughed, “You two are getting married before even Daichi and I! I’m so happy for you, Ryū. I know how long you’ve loved her.” Ryūnosuke softened, “Yeah, I’m going to see her brother after this. Her parents… passed, but I wanted to ensure it’s okay. We’re soulmates so I’m sure it’ll be fine, but…” Kōushi laughed, “You’ve always been a softy, Ryū. You don’t have to explain it to me.” “Kōshi! I’m home- oh gods.” “Hey!” - When Ryūnosuke had proposed all those months ago, he wasn’t sure if he’d been dreaming. He knew he hadn’t, otherwise he knew he wouldn’t be up waiting on the altar for his bride to walk down to meet him. His friends and family in the crowd, people from all over, mostly friends from high school. Yū was crying next to him already, as his best man, and was actually an incredibly empathetic individual. Behind him stood Ennoshita, Yamamoto, and Kinoshita. Yacchan, Kiyoko’s maid of honor (and now apparently Kanoka’s soulmate/girlfriend), stood in front of Daichi, Kōushi, Asahi, her best friends outside of Yachi.  His sister, Saeko, sat next to Tenma, who had admittedly become something like a brother over the years, and both were crying. Saeko would never admit it though. Tsukishima and Kuroo were sitting a couple rows back, holding hands with affectionate eyes, happy for their friends. Yamaguchi and Terushima were barely containing tears, and Ryūnosuke knew then they were perfect for each other. Oikawa sat under Bokuto’s arm, the tan from their time in Argentina showing. Bokuto had gone to Argentina with Oikawa, claiming he wanted to experience volleyball  with Oikawa above anything else. (Also something about how he didn't mind helping Oikawa beat the others.) Kageyama and Hinata sat next to Saeko and Tema, holding hands, both third-years were much older than when he first met them but both were fighting back tears desperately. Coach Ukai and Takeda sat towards the back, amused smiles on their faces as they thought about all the times Ryūnosuke had offered to help her with anything. Yaku and Lev were also there, as was most of Nekoma. But somehow, friends of Oikawa had also tagged along, other people his age, Kiyoomi Sakusa and Atsumu Miya. He’d played the Miya twins his second year, which had been both terrifying and exhilarating. Those two found out they were soulmates, and hadn’t really left each other's side since. There were probably more people there than there should have been. But when the doors opened, Kiyoko’s brother appeared first, before she walked through, in the most beautiful outfit his mind could have conjured up. The woman was even more beautiful. He stared, and before he knew it, began to tear up.  Kiyoko smiled fondly as she walked down the aisle, and then smiled even more affectionately when her brother gave him her hand.  He couldn’t believe this was real. “I’m real,” she whispered as she stared into his eyes, as if she was trying to memorize every part of this day, “We’re real.” His heart nearly burst. The ceremony went as expected. It was soft and loving, everything he wanted it to be for her. They got to the vows. “Ryūnosuke,” she started, her eyes sparkling, “I think when you proposed to me on the spot after meeting me, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. You make me laugh when all I want to do is disappear. You make me feel beautiful when the world makes me feel ugly. You are smart and kind. You waited until I was ready- despite the fact you knew what we were. I will love you forever, and then some.” “My Kiyoko,” his voice was hoarse because of course it was, “You are the epitome of beauty in my mind’s eye. When I think of kindness, I think of your face. When I think of compassion, I think of you. I thank whatever gods are out there that you are my soulmate, but I think in any universe I would be yours.  I am yours, eternally. ”  He’s pretty sure he saw Kōushi cry.'
