Summary
“The plums."
Uncertainty paints itself vividly over his senior’s features. “Plums?”
“I– just…” Atsumu begins, a choked sound at the back of his throat. The words tumble out of his mouth before he could even think to process the weight of them. “The plums,” he says, a shaky breath, then starts again, “the damned plums,” Atsumu digs his nails into his skin and focuses on the deep crescents they form in his palms. “I can’t —” his voice breaks midway, “I can’t eat them anymore.”
The thing they don’t tell you about falling out of love in your twenties is that you never really do fall out of it completely.Series

Summary
He’d already decided on this since the first night he let the flowers fall, had lain alone in bed as he pondered over his future and the cost that came with bearing the weight of all his emotions. Hajime was only fourteen then – fourteen years old and yet so impossibly in love – when he made the decision in the small solace of his bedroom, sheets speckled with the dreamlike blue-violet petals of a kurinji.
And even now, four years later, his feelings remain unchanged. Here, hunched over in the passenger seat of Issei’s rented-out Toyota sedan, Hajime finds himself coming back to the same answer:
He does not want to lose Tooru.
He does not want to forget.
(Here, Hajime remembers: once, he was in love with his best friend.)

Summary
Osamu kisses him in the back alley of the memory shop when he gets off of work, lips soft and searching and aching with desire, the moment deepening underneath the brilliant rose of neon streetlights. His kisses are summer and taste like the rain.
It is everything Rintarou has ever dreamed of.

Summary
Takao will forget, in a matter of twenty-four hours, the meaning of his existence and the entirety of their world. He will forget, as it is his curse and anathema and the inevitable condition of his fate. He will forget, as his memory will vanish in the wrinkles of time. He will forget, as he is prone to doing so.
(But that's okay.)
Because Midorima will be there, always, and he will remember.

Summary
Through him, Keiji realizes once they’re close, the dark looming shapes of the cliffs pressing closer as the road narrows between them. Miya hadn’t been staring at him at the train station; he was staring through him. Like he’d been trying to imagine the landscape back into place without Keiji interrupting it. Like Keiji wasn’t there at all.
On coming and going, and going.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I can’t get out,” he hears himself sob into Miya’s chest, his mouth full of salt and soft fabric.
He feels the dig of Miya’s chin into the top of his head, and then a strange, moving softness. I’m sorry, the softness says, soundless, and Keiji realizes that it is Miya’s mouth. The softness stills. Miya is kissing his hair.
I’m trying, the radio mourns. I’m trying.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I know you think I find you annoying when you doubt yourself,” Atsumu says, “But I love any opportunity to ramble about how in love with you I am.”
Anyone would be lucky to have Atsumu. That’s what Atsumu says about him. True love, Osamu mocks them, gross that you’re getting it before me.
Makes losing it so much scarier.

Bookmarker's Notes
17,360km between them but the pang in Hinata’s chest is just the same as if he had heard it right against his cheek. He knows Atsumu’s crying, but he doesn’t call him because he’s selfish, because he doesn’t want to hear.
.
“I’ll wait for as long as you need me to if you tell me there’s an end to waiting,” Atsumu says on their last night together. “Because I can’t survive off three times a year. It’s so hard to keep losing you.”
Goodbyes don’t get easier. You can’t learn to leave. Bracing for pain only makes it worse. Like sitting in the electric chair, knowing how the shock feels and that it’s coming. The night before the execution, sleepless, desperate—it never gets better.
Atsumu runs into his arms at the airport and Hinata’s already thinking of how they’ll be here a few days later, doing this exact thing but with tears and clingy hands, last kisses, one more, one last one, on the mouth, the chin, kiss my forehead, kiss me deep enough to fill my soul so it doesn’t run out when you’re gone. Atsumu’s body coiled all around his own, begging to be told to stay, both knowing he can’t, he has to keep playing.

Summary
“Do you even know what you’re doing?”
Atsumu doesn’t even look up. “Ya called me instead of a plumber, didn’t ya?”
“It was either that or wait three more days for maintenance.”
“And we both know how well you handle waitin’ on things you don’t like,” Atsumu says with a gleeful tone. “Ever the picture of patience, Omi-Omi.”
“I’m patient,” Kiyoomi responds dryly.
“Sure. And I’m a Nobel Prize winner in leaky faucet theory.”
“You already wanted to come over after your finals,” Kiyoomi states.
“Mm-hm. And here I was, thinking I was allowed to come over because I take ya so well, not ‘cause I’m the only one in the team groupchat who knows how to fix pipes.”
Written for Bottsumu Week 2025 - Day 3: Cockwarming.
