Soul mate stories were common to hear as you grew older, there wouldn’t be a single moment when someone didn’t mention that fact.
"Your soulmate will be your other half, who will understand you and complement you perfectly."
Koutarou heard it all his childhood and even witnessed it when his older sisters found their soulmates. The universe seemed to be an incredible Cupid, the way his relatives fit in with their partners was amazing. And at the age of seven, he couldn’t be more excited to find his own.
It was not until his second year of high school that he began to question his destiny. Akaashi Keiji was not his soulmate.
The first year setter had been the only one able to understand it, understand it and even complement it perfectly. However, it wasn’t his initials that were etched into each other’s skin. He did not understand, everything seemed to shout that they were such for whom, there was no reason why they could not be kindred spirits.
"We don't choose our destiny, Bokuto-san" Akaashi was right, because a few months later, the first-year setter had met his soulmate. Kozume Kenma.
He had seen it, the way the two blended together perfectly, made for each other. A feeling of uncertainty filled every part of his body with the new perspective. What if his soulmate couldn’t understand it? If they decided it wasn’t worth dealing with him, that person wasn’t Akaashi, who just by looking at him would know what he was thinking.
"I’m afraid they’re not as good as you," he confessed in the middle of the night one day, his legs slightly numb from the jumps he had been making recently. The jet glance met his own, scanning it so quickly that he barely had time to process his words before the youngest of them would answer.
"They will be better than me, we are talking about the soulmate of Bokuto-san," Akaashi replied gently, leaving the used balls in place." I’m sure he’s an amazing person."
But it’s not you. His treacherous mind wanted to scream, but he held back. he didn’t want to bother the contrary.
It had become clear to all of Fukurodani that Akaashi had decided to maintain a loving relationship with the Nekoma setter. Everyone had congratulated them, knowing your soulmate and establishing a bond with them, was undoubtedly excellent news. In his third year, things had changed. He no longer thought of Akaashi as anything more than a friend, he respected the destiny and its decisions.
Even Kageyama Tobio
Karasuno’s setter was a totally different thing from what he was used to seeing, intrepid, systematic, and fucking accurate plays passed in front of his eyes. Every movement of the raven was charged with elegance, no wasted movement next to its burning blue eyes with a fervent passion for sport. Still, it wasn’t just that that took his breath away. It was the fact of seeing his soulmate mark take on color the moment they both shake hands. He felt nervous, not knowing what to say about the new discovery. Only to be ignored, leaving him longing for that newly acquired warmth. The next few days were no better, there was no way your eyes would meet.
He was afraid, he could see how the crow hardly related to others. Not even looking in his direction more than necessary, so focused on his practice. On that note, he would only have to approach the jet by volleyball. Bokuto would manage to have a conversation with his soulmate, no matter what. With that in mind, he marched energetically to one of the gyms, where he clearly remembered that Kageyama was practicing his pitches alongside Karasuno’s little blonde manager. As soon as he saw the doors of the gym, he did not hesitate to open them at once, hearing a rather sharp scream in response.
"I’m sorry Yachan!" He apologized quickly to the blonde, who looked about to have a heart attack. His gaze was focused on the setter, who was trying to calm down his manager."I want to hit one of your sets, Kageyama!"
Silence took hold of the room for what seemed like minutes, the blue eyes of the opposite flickered in its direction with visible confusion.
"I’m sorry but I can’t do that, Bokuto-san"Tobio replied as he looked confused at the captain of Fukurodani, who stared at him with his big eyes.
"Why not?" Bokuto inquired trying not to sound so disappointed, failing in the attempt.
"I'm trying certain things, I do not want anyone to see it until I am sure of them"Tobio responded quickly while avoiding looking the other way, who had a dejected expression on his face. He could not deal with Bokuto-san in his discouraged state." Akaashi-san is in the third gym with the others, in case you want someone to put the ball for you."
"But I want to throw your pitches!" Bokuto insisted again as he stepped inside the gym, that pair of blue eyes followed his movements with attention, which made him a little excited. He finally noticed him.
"Why?" Tobio asked as he put the ball back into position, trying to ignore the excited look of Fukurodani’s captain.
Bokuto-san was incredible, a person capable of getting along with everyone around him, catching them with that bubbly personality that only he had. His playing skills were also amazing, if they were not on opposing teams, maybe he would try this pitch with him. I look sideways at the aforementioned, who seemed to stop at his words.
For his part, Bokuto was sure he could hear his heart breaking at the jet declaration. Was it only he who felt that connection between the two? It could not be true, he noticed the figure in front of him, which exuded an air of indifference towards his person. He took a breath before releasing what has been bothering him for some time."Because you are my soulmate!"
The mute caught them more strongly after their statement, the sound of a ball falling to the ground was the only thing that broke the tension.
" Mm... I’ll leave you alone for a while"Yachi muttered as she hurried out of the gym quickly.
Both players stared each other in the eye this time, much to Bokuto’s delight, who was able to marvel at the confused expression on Kageyama’s face.
"How do you know you’re my soulmate?" asked confused Tobio as he tilted his head, which apparently stoked something on the contrary who did not hesitate to cross the few steps that separated him.
"My codes are there."
Taking self-confidence, Bokuto came close enough to be able to lift the shirt off the other side. Showing in effect, the same codes as the same. 14TKB - 20TKB.
After that revelation, Tobio blinked gently as he assimilated the newly obtained information. His head was working to gather the information that was presented to him.
TKB: Kageyama Tobio- Bokuto Koutarou.
14: Ace and Captain numbers?
29: Tobio numbers.
His mind receded to the first game they had ever had with Fukurodani, as he had felt a tingle in his brand. He had simply assumed that it was a muscle pain caused by the effort of practice, his mind had been working on how to improve his skills to help his team, He had completely disconnected himself and forgot about it as soon as the tingling did not reappear. However, he had witnessed a couple of times the initials that adorned the major’s mark, but he did not attach much importance to that fact.
"Oh, I hadn’t noticed," Tobio muttered to himself as he felt his face slowly warm after analyzing all that, bowed his head slightly feeling a sudden embarrassment invade him.
"Didn’t you do it?" curious Bokuto asked as he continued to hold the shirt of the opposite, his hand tickling with the sudden need to pass his fingers over the mark of the soul of the jet. Anyway, he was never one to hold his impulses, so he placed his hand gently on the hip of the other.
"I know a lot of people with similar codes, I guess it’s from my initials." explained Tobio as he felt the grip on his hip tighten a little more, forcing him to lift his gaze to face the serious face of the opposite.
Both stared for a few seconds, the attacker’s free hand slid into the minor’s face, where he removed those jet-streaked rebels. He inhaled with force to be able to observe freely the face of the opposite. Delicate features welcomed him with a calm countenance, Kageyama was attractive, anyone with eyes could say. However, seeing him with such a soft expression instead of his slutty face at rest, was another level.
"You’re cute," Bokuto said in a sigh, his thumb gently rubbing against those long eyelashes that delicately framed that pair of blue eyes. " I’ve noticed, but up close you’re so much more impressive, so cute."
"Thank you? You too are cute"Tobio murmured back, his throat suddenly drying as he was wrapped in the intense attention he was receiving from his soul mate, who was a few inches taller than him. " even though your eyes remind me of an owl."
Without being able to avoid it, the hands of the jet hollowed out the face of the opposite, tracing soft caresses in the cheeks of the major. A small smile crept unconsciously from his lips as he felt the elder bow in his touch, that pair of almond eyes closed softly as a soft smile addressed him, everything felt so intimate. His blue eyes quickly scanned the face from between his hands, his lips came close enough to be able to deposit a gentle kiss on the bare forehead of Bokuto, who opened his eyes quickly, glancing at him with his large eyes, resembling an owl, He couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about it.
For his part, the only thing the Ace of Fukurodani could think of was "Oh... Oh". The view in front of him could not be better, his arms gently wrapped themselves firmly in Kageyama’s hips easily lifting the body of the opposite, he smiled excitedly when he could see the surprised expression on the face of the opposite. He wanted more, He wanted to see all the expressions he could put next to him. However, it was not the time, he could see it in the way the jet’s gaze returned to its normal state.
"Bokuto-san, please put me down," Tobio asked gently as he waited for the highest to fulfill his request, deliberately ignoring how his heart seemed to be ready to come out of his chest and run a marathon.
"I’m sorry, I got excited"Koutarou quickly apologized as he lowered the youngest, however his hands remained on the hip of the opposite, who did not seem annoyed at that fact, so he began to give soft caresses on the skin, loving as the jet shook at the touch. "...So..."
"So?" I ask Tobio back as he frowned slightly, Bokuto-san had his hands on his hip bone, so he did not know what to do with his own hands. Tentatively he placed them on the broad shoulders of the opposite, who was moved by it, bringing their bodies a little closer together, their looks met again causing him to suddenly feel a warmth in his belly.
"What are we?" specifically asked Koutarou as he gathered his foreheads, he was certain that the jet did not have such an intimidating interaction, considering how he had looked at his body looking for where to place his hands.
"I don’t know, I’m fine with anything," he replied insecure, Tobio was proud to never let nerves play against him, so he felt too ashamed to see how his body seemed unable to relax in the major’s arms, not while I was watching him so intensely, his lips twisted in a nervous smile at the gentle caresses he received from time to time. " as long as it doesn’t change anything in your playing style, I’ll take it with pleasure."
"You look so cute smiling"Koutarou murmured back as he poured a quick kiss on the lips of the other, delighted to see how pale skin quickly acquired a reddish hue."Okay, I wasn’t going easy on you either!"
Both on and off the court, he would see to it that everyone knew how amazing his precious boyfriend was. There would be no one who could doubt that they were both made for each other. Or so he would like to say, because standing in front of his beloved soulmate’s room, he could see how the jet was being cornered by two of the members of one of the teams they had invited.
"Then why did we come to this situation?" Bokuto asked truly curious as he saw the silent cry for help in Tobio’s eyes. The chestnut shipowner, Oikawa Tooru, was the one who gave him a smile while the jet beside him, Iwaizumi Hajime, seemed to want to hit that setter.
"Don’t worry Kou-chan, we’re just talking to Tobio-chan, none of your interest," Oikawa mentioned as he made a carefree feint with his free hand, only to be greeted by an eyebrow raised in disbelief.
"You literally have your hands on the hips of my soulmate, it is my interest," Koutarou explained as he pointed at the hands of the other, who did not hesitate to take them away as if they had burned him.
" Is Kageyama your soulmate?" Iwaizumi asked, drawing Fukurodani’s captain’s attention this time to him.
"Yes, now you can explain what happens"asked Koutarou while standing at full height.
If Iwaizumi had to say how he was in this situation, holding the idiot of his best friend/soulmate from his attempt to undress his former freshman, he wasn’t sure how to explain it. They had received an invitation to a training camp with other schools in Tokyo, which was perfectly normal, until they entered the gymnasiums of those schools where they could clearly observe certain crows. They seemed to be leading a rather close game with Nekoma High School while other students watched the game.
"Kageyama is doing well," Iwaizumi said as she watched the jet go looking for the ball to make a quick attack.
"As if I cared", Oikawa complained as he looked away from the jet, focusing better on the blonde setter of the opposing team.
Iwaizumi refrained from striking the opposite, ending only by sighing at the childish attitude of his soul mate, the whole team began to mobilize to stand beside another of the schools present, Fukurodani, who had a lot of fun throwing random comments on both teams. They sat down to watch the game unfold, none seemed willing to drop the ball so easily.
"Tks, those damn crows"I bellow with force Oikawa as I watched the team’s release manage to lift the ball, giving him the opportunity to attack again and score the winning point.
Before Iwaizumi could reproach the chestnut tree for anything, his attention turned to him as one of the people sitting next to him stood up excited, heading towards Kageyama. The man with silver hair was Bokuto Koutarou, who was now carrying the jet in his arms. Because of that, the younger setter’s shirt rose high enough to clearly show part of his soulmate brand. They were the first digits of their own soulmate brand. He could clearly feel Oikawa tensing at his side, there was no way that Kageyama was his soulmate.
"I know what you’re thinking, so stop"musito between Iwaizumi teeth while trying not to attract the attention of others, who seemed oblivious to their little argument.
"How do you want me to do that? Tobio-chan could be a part of us,"Oikawa grumbled softly as he looked back at the jet, who only rolled his eyes.
"Just ask"Iwaizumi quickly answered before hurrying up from his seat to see how the idiot who had a soul mate, had not hesitated to get up and walk carelessly towards Kageyama.
Both Seijoh players quietly followed Karasuno’s setter, avoiding being caught by anyone. Which was pretty complicated considering they were in training camp. It was not until they reached Karasuno’s room that they were finally able to corner the jet of blue eyes, who only gave them curious glances, before he could speak was interrupted.
"Tobio-chan, lifted your shirt," Oikawa asked quickly as the aforementioned grimaced at his words.
"What?" asked confused Tobio, unconsciously grabbed his clothes tightly, as he looked between the two.
"Come on, hurry up."Oikawa complained as he tried to lift his shirt from the other side, who clung tightly to his clothes. What ended up in a clear struggle between the two shipowners, with Iwaizumi wanting to separate the chestnut tree from the smaller one, only to be thrown back on the jet.
"And that’s how we got to this point"Iwaizumi-san finished counting as he held a rather embarrassed Oikawa Tooru by his shirt collar.
"You should have asked Oikawa-san directly"Tobio gently complained before lifting his shirt, showing his full soulmate brand.
It was curious how it looked, but the brand of both Seijoh players had more codes, which meant they had a three-person bond. 141TKIHOT - 141TKIHOT.
"Oh, they look like in the first digits," Bokuto said as he looked curious at the codes on Iwaizumi’s hip."Kuroo has a similar one.
"Yes, Tsukishima also has a similar code."Tobio agreed on that as he felt like he was attracted by strong arms, looking sideways he could see the big smile on Bokuto’s face, he quickly turned his attention to his ex-major who looked back at him.
"Well, we’re sorry to bother you Kageyama"Iwaizumi apologized as she leaned slightly, forcing her idiot boyfriend to do the same.
"No problem Iwaizumi-san"Tobio mentioned while imitating the action of the opposite, saying goodbye quickly.
Once only the two were found alone, he could feel the hands of the major heading towards his hips, sending chills throughout his body.
"So, you didn’t want to show them your brand?" Bokuto asked as he leaned his chin against the shoulder of the jet, who only snorted softly, his characteristic pout appearing on his lips.
"Of course not, yesterday you overstepped and left many bites"Tobio gently complained while holding the hands of the other one between his, preventing him from continuing to caress his skin.
"You’re just so cute," Bokuto complained as he began to give soft kisses in the gap of the jet shoulder.
"Bokuto-san"
"Yes, Tobio?"
"You’re hard."
"Does it bother you?"
"We won’t sleep today, will we?" Tobio asked resigned as he listened to the deep laughter of the other in his ear.
"Yup"smiled funny Koutarou as he poured a loud kiss on the jet’s cheek.
EXTRA
Being both in the Kageyama house, after being had played in the nationals. It was great that the child’s family lived in Tokyo, although it was also bad, because he was constantly alone in Miyagi. However, they were now talking about a specific situation.
"Tobio, TsumTsum stole your place next to me," Koutarou complained as he dropped onto the other’s lap, who only looked at him gently.
"Actually no, I was thinking of joining the Schweiden Adlers, "Tobio mentioned as he laid soft caresses on his lover’s two-tone hair." Ushijima-san and Hoshiumi-san are there."
At the words of the opposite, he quickly rose from his partner’s warm lap to hold him by his shoulders. Blue eyes looked at him curiously but he ignored that as he embraced the opposite, placing Tobio’s head between his pecs.
"Are you trading me in for someone else!?" Koutarou exclaimed as he hugged the child, who moved lightly in his arms." They will not love you as I do!"
"Bokuto-"Asked Tobio gently before being pressed against the chest of the other, again. He breathed the natural scent of the now MBSY player as he gently separated. He smiled amused as his partner made a variety of dramatic gestures, especially in the way his now shorter hair leaned down. He listened attentively to the arguments of why he should not join them, opened his lips ready to reassure him but was interrupted again.
"And sex with them won’t be fun!" Koutarou complained even louder, before feeling a pair of delicate hands cover his mouth quickly. His gaze met those blue eyes he loved so much, which looked at him with a slight flash of panic.
" Koutarou"Kageyama called the name of the other, seeing as he did not feign anything else, he continued to speak."Please shut up, literally my parents are down."
Once he was sure that the other one calmed down, he took his hands off the face of the other one who smiled at that, making a gesture of silence. The two stared at each other before Bokuto fell on the jet, hiding his face in the other’s neck.
"I wanted to have you by my side, to be a couple of shipowner and attacker," Bokuto complained as he inhaled the vanilla essence of another’s body, stopping in his tracks when he felt a slight tremor in the opposite body, looked up to watch his lover, who had his lips furrowed in a grimace. "you are laughing!"
Then in a few moments where Tobio tried to control his laughter, while preventing the older one from taking his cell phone to take a picture, he calmed down enough to take the face of the other in his hands.
"We are a couple of shipowner and attacker, but before all that"Tobio began to explain gently as he slightly squeezed the cheeks of the other, giving him an adorable appearance that matched perfectly with those almond eyes that looked at him with such attention." I’m a player, before I couldn’t face you in an official game but now I will, and I won’t go soft just because you’re my boyfriend."
He waited gently for a reaction from his boyfriend, just to feel his center of gravity change quickly. He blinked softly as he now stood over Bokuto, who had his hands firmly gripping his hips, raised a curious eyebrow at that fact, only to tighten when he felt the warm breath of the opposite on his neck.
"Shit, you look so cute and hot when you threaten me about beating me," Bokuto muttered softly as his hands wandered around the figure of his beloved soulmate. He smiled as Tobio shook visibly at his words, his lips wrapped in the soft skin in front of him. Well, I was hoping they’d be quiet enough that the parents of the jet didn’t realize what was going on, had been easily accepted into the Kageyama family, But that didn’t mean it was okay for her to fuck her youngest son while they were down in the living room.
Oh well, he could always win back his in-laws, he was a lovely guy after all. Feeling Tobio’s soft laugh at the kisses he was putting on his neck, he knew this was all he wanted. Kageyama Tobio was something out of this world, especially made for him and completely his. Fate had been so right, in the midst of it all, he gave thanks for giving him the possibility to love and be loved, for being with someone so wonderful. And in the dark, I keep professing his love in words and caresses.
