thinking about iwaoi who go to different unis, and hajime, who’s usually the one to give comfort to tooru whenever he’s down, calling tooru on a saturday at 8pm. at the first “hello,” tooru notices there’s something off about hajime’s voice. “what’s wrong,” he asks, and there’s

suddenly thought about tooru visiting hajime at uci, but hajime has class so tooru ends up going on a campus tour to kill time. hajime meets him in front of social sciences after class, and the first thing out of tooru’s mouth is, “did you know they filmed

in my last year at uci there was this guy who would cover up, no skin exposed, and hand out stickers (named petr) that he drew of the school mascot. once he runs out, you can’t get anymore of that ver. canon compliant but in which makki, uci exchange student, is the petr artist. twitter.com/ikkerun/status… pic.twitter.com/EvOwZOija7

married iwaoi with their son, age 5. hajime and son visits tooru during jpn’s summers, and tooru comes to jpn during off seasons. it’s during this one visit that he finally learns of and meets his son’s best friend—another 5yo named “mikki” who goes to the same kindergarten.

another thread uci iwa and his pro athlete bf tooru bc i cannot stop apparently every year, uci attempts to break a world record. one time it was world’s biggest pillow fight. another, world’s biggest game of capture the flag. when tooru comes to visit that year, the game is

mikio (7), being ushijima’s son, has had the opportunity to meet kgym several times and took an instant liking to him. so when his best friend kouta (7) asks him who’s the best setter, he obviously answers, “kgym-senshu,” causing kouta to burst into angry tears. twitter.com/ikkerun/status…

when kouta is 9, hajime gets a job offer in the us. “we’ll be moving in the summer,” he tells kouta on a sat in oct, and kouta’s eyebrows furrow as he stares up at his otou-chan in a half-daze. “moving?” “to california,” hajime says, running a hand through kouta’s black hair. twitter.com/ikkerun/status…

married iwaoi and their son kouta (5) baking sugar cookies and brownies. it starts off with kouta’s sudden obsession that tooru blames entirely on ushisato—he swears that man purposely bakes every time kouta’s over—but he can’t be too mad about it. not when it allows him to see

just thinking about baby tooru who squeals in laughter when baby hajime accidentally boops him on the nose, causing baby hajime to do it again hajime (4) holding back tears when he scrapes his knee badly bc he doesn’t want to be made fun of, but tooru (4) just hugs him and

of course, iwaizumi tooru is the first to notice. they’re all sitting around the iwaizumis’ dinner table, as per routine when tooru comes back to jp; it’s then that tooru asks the question, and kouta (14) nearly chokes. “so?” tooru looks at mikio (14) expectedly. “any crushes?”

ikeru @ikkerun

“otou-san,” kouta (17) calls with a furrow of his brow, and hajime hums, flipping the hamburger steaks on the stove. “you fell in love with papá, right?” “well, i hope so,” tooru says as he joins them in the kitchen. he winks over at hajime. “otherwise it would make this

loving hajime has always been as easy as breathing, and maybe that’s why tooru hardly registers the stutter and the addictive, euphoric warmth hajime brings with him until he’s no longer a constant by tooru’s side. when the epiphany comes—when his breath has been stolen, twitter.com/ikkerun/status…

ikeru @ikkerun

tw anxiety, depression; it’s late, and the glow-in-the-dark stars on his ceiling has already lost their shine, but he stares at them anyway as the coil in his chest tightens, ghost tears prickling at his eyes. he holds his breath; his fingers call for hajime.

for the first time in a while, tooru is able to fly home for xmas; he’s thrumming with excitement as he boards the plane, texting hajime about all the things he’s brought for their son 4yo son kouta. “you’re spoiling him,” hajime says amusedly after he and kouta has picked him

ikeru @ikkerun

kouta is 4 when tooru comes to visit japan for the first time in a long while; the last time he was in the country was when kouta first came into their lives. he has a list of things he wants to do with his son, some that he has managed to cross off whenever kouta and hajime

thinking about iwaoi again and the moment they realise that this love they feel encompasses so much more than they thought. hajime figured it out early on, that the way his heart beats and flutters has an indescribable depth that can only be explained through tooru. +

ikeru @ikkerun

tooru and hajime, age 10, huddled in the far corner of the upstairs lounge in the little house their families rented for a small vacation. it’s quiet up here in their own little corner, even tho tooru’s sister and cousins are being loud by the tv. hajime has tooru’s ds in +

sometimes, iwaizumi has this urge to tell oikawa that he’s in love with him. it comes in small pieces—when they’re four, giggling underneath blankets as they hide from oikawa’s sister in a game of hide-and-seek; when they’re ten, and iwaizumi successfully spikes oikawa’s clumsy
