Summary
Love claws in his chest like a dog who is chained in a cage; a murder that is grotesque and raw gets painted on the floor from the growls that drip with blood.
Philosophers and scientists take on the behavior of hunters poaching a wild beast, spending countless years trying to study it so they’re accurately capable of describing it with their tongues.
When they finally achieve just that, they mount their game on the wall with a plaque underneath it.
Grief.
Love that is left rotting in your soul.
Kageyama doesn’t believe it but he desperately wants to.
OR Kageyama thinks Oikawa is the person his grandfather promises would arrive before he had to direct his life alone.

Summary
“Miya Atsumu,” drawls a voice Atsumu’s heard once or twice or twenty times whilst watching post-match interviews. He stops abruptly in the doorway and follows the voice to a face that plagues his social media feeds and the pages of Volleyball Monthly, a face that’s frustratingly better-looking in person without the lines of an Olympic net between them spoiling the view. “The benchwarmers get prettier by the season.”
Atsumu tucks his hands into his sweatpants pockets, straightens out his shoulders, and narrows his eyes. He’s done his homework for this moment, finessed information out of Kageyama and Hinata, and spent more than a few collective hours on the CA San Juan player profile webpage.
“Oikawa Tooru,” he says slowly. “Surprised they let a scrub that couldn’t make it to nationals in here. Didn’t think the barrel was so empty they’d hafta start scrapin’ it already. Onigashira musta been busy, huh?”

All Ushijima has to do is apologize for punching a rival school kid in the face, and everything will clear up. Unfortunately, that would require him to admit that defending Tendou was wrong, and he will not do that.
