Theyâre sitting in a field. Itâs a weird way to spend a summer afternoon, but it feels nice. Sakusa didnât come out with them, obviously. Atsumu looked like he was weighing his options, but his presence seemed to scare him off.
Bokuto glances over at the boy he has successfully managed to bring with him. Hinata Shouyou. In truth, he only wants it to be them. but itâs weird if a guy and his disciple went out, alone, to a field together, right? A guy and his disciple. It feels like a past life now.
Osamu always said that Atsumu had fallen in love with Hinata during their first match. Bokuto bites his lip and looks away from his friend. Despite the likelihood of it all, he hopes with all his heart that Hinata doesnât feel the same. He looks at the dandelion in his hand.
Dandelions. Plants for making wishes. Bokuto blows it and all the seeds fall off in one go. The wind picks them up, and they fly across the field.
âBe free,â he whispers, and steals another glance at Hinata. Hinata, however, is already staring at him with amazement and wonder.
He wishes it could be more than that.Â
 âYou blew off all the seeds,â Hinata says, and looks at his own dandelion. âIâve never been able to do that.â Without thinking, Bokuto edges closer to him, and encloses his own, much bigger, hand around his.
âLet me help you.â
Is it just his imagination, or does Hinataâs breath hitch? Is it just wishful thinking, and it was his instead?
âOkay.â
Together, they blow on the plant, and the seeds fly away, dreams and wishes coming true. Bokuto doubts that theyâre his, though.
Hinata leans his head on his shoulder, and his heart is definitely beating faster.
âI like this. Being here, alone with you.âÂ
Thereâs a few moments of silence.
âI like it too.â
The Black Jackals are probably having the time of their lives. Their loudest members are gone, after all. Sakusa must be having the best bath- or whatever- knowing that heâs not going to get any calls from them about games gone wrong. Theyâre in a field, after all.
âUm. So, Tsukishima told me to grow up about this, and Yamaguchi was nicer, and Kageyama doesnât know at all, because.â He doesnât need to finish the sentence. Itâs obvious why Kageyama was never told. Just...
âGrow up over what?â
He lets out a breathy sigh that sends chills down his spine. âWow. I canât believe Iâm doing this.â
Hinata glances at Bokutoâs hand, still tightly wrapped around his own, and then up at the sky above them. If heâs not careful, heâs going to go blind.
âSo. I like you. And not in a friend way. So yeah.â
The only noise in the field is the sounds of birds chirping. Bokuto can feel his eyes filling with a lot of happy, happy tears. âBokuto...?â He wants to hug him. Kiss him. Scream his praises to whatever god there is above.
But thereâs something he has to do first. Itâs his turn, now.
âGod, Shouyou. I love you.â It sounds weird, hearing Hinataâs first name tumble from his lips like that- but it feels so right. Finally, heâs on the same level as Atsumu.
Hinata laughs. It echoes through the field, and everything is lifted off his shoulders.
âhow long, Bo- Koutarou?â
He grins at the sound of his name. âAges. Maybe even since our first training camp together.â
âSo, if we werenât such cowards, we could have been together by now?â
âYeah, I guess. Sorry about that.â Hinata stares at the dandelion, and then lets it fall to the ground. âI think dandelions are my favourite things now.â
As much as Bokuto wants to agree, he canât. Because Shouyou will always be his favourite. Forever and ever.
Hinata kisses him then. He doesnât expect it, but Bokuto does his best to return it. It feels like heaven on earth. And when they next walk into practice, holding hands, big grins on their faces, the team probably thinks nothing of it. This is just usual antics for them, right?
But then thereâs rounds of 2v2s, and they should be paying attention but theyâre not and Bokutoâs gently kissing Hinata again and again and horror graces Atsumuâs face while Sakusa is clearly disappointed- of course, they donât see this. They only hear Foster yelling at them.
Maybe, if Bokuto wasnât so focused on his new boyfriend, he would have regretted that moment. But neither of them saw their teammates, or the obvious hurt on their faces.
So how could they understand why Sakusa and Atsumu are reluctant to come to their wedding?
crazy how India can have the largest labor strike in world history and it doesn't even make the news in the US. it's almost like they don't want us to know we can demand better working conditions
Hinata can always run and jump at Inuoka and he'll catch him.
Totally possible and completely adorable, darling anon! I didnât know what to make of this ask though, so here, have a⊠something!
Like, imagine at first, it was completely obvious, because Hinata isnât cruel, and heâs not loud for nothing, he actually calls out Inuokaâs name in that excited way of his, and when Inuoka turns, he already knows what to do, because Hinata has his arms stretched out on his side, and he actually yells âCatch!â before he lands directly in Inuokaâs arms, and Inukoa had to twirl them around to help center their gravity. It was the first successful catch, and Hinata almost yelled Inuokaâs ears (and the other players ears, really) off, with his gushing about how âgwah!!!!â Inuoka was.
The next time, didnât come with a warning, but it was still obvious, what with the way Hinataâs sneakers squeaks loudly upon impact on the polished gym floors. Inuokaâs always been a sensitive being. He appears to be a klutz; acts like one sometimes actually, but he does have comparably heightened senses than most of his teammates. So yeah, in just one step, even still far away, was enough to alert him and anticipate Hinata.
What he wasnât exactly prepared for was Hinataâs weight, although he knows for a fact that Hinata is light. One wouldnât be able to soar like he does, if he isnât. But Inuoka reacted quite late, as much as he is sensitive, his reaction time could use some exercising. Because of the added momentum, and his late reaction, they lose their balance, but they didnât fall until Inuoka has his arms safely around Hinata. Inuoka had learned his lesson then.
Hinataâs also tried doing it as soundlessly as he could, but there will always, always be something that will give him away. So yeah, no matter how stealthy or at least, how stealthy Hinata can manage to be, Inuoka will be sure to catch him.
âHow come you always manage to catch me?â He pouts, after another failed attempt of 'run and jump at Inuoka and catch him by surpriseâ game, in which Inuoka is the undefeated champion.
Inuoka bursts out laughing in his infectious, yet good manner way of his. Then gives Hinata a fond look, one that makes Hinata drop his pout and warm his entire being.
âYou caught me when I fell for you, so itâs only proper that I do the same.â
âââ-
These two are too precious for their own good. They deserve all the good things!
Iâve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? Itâs the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word âsuicide.â
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, âPass the URL of the blog on to us.â
5. Type in the userâs URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USERâS LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isnât a joke, and neither is someoneâs life. If you didnât know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
Hey, can you please do maybe a king Denmark icon? Like an anime Denmark with a little paper crown or smth and then you can pick the background! â„ïž I love your stuff!
Here you go, anon! Thanks for your words, hope you like it đ
Iâll probably make second version... but I donât know, huh!
Itâs okay to identify as aromantic, even if you may feel romantic attraction someday in the future.Â
Itâs okay to identify as aromantic, even if you felt romantic attraction in the past.Â
Itâs okay to identify as aromantic, even if you have no clue if you felt romantic attraction before.Â
Itâs okay to identify as aromantic!Â
Your label is supposed to feel good now. To help you express yourself right now. The past and the future donât matter. If aromantic describes you right here and right now, thatâs enough.Â
hey!! Iâm aro!! whatâs your twt?? mineâs captainchikara :D,,, I gotta clarify tho that I donât really follow aro twt
Someone aro followed me on twitter, and I was pretty happy, especially since i want to get involved in aro twitter. But the first tweet i saw was #MAGA and boom, blocked. Like jfc no amount of aro solidarity is gonna make me want to interact with this person...
they rlly researched enough to find two-spirited and then just. stopped.
didnât bother to find out how two-spirited was only okay for SOME in the lgbtq+ community. went on for three sentences about allies. CLEARLY didnât check more than one source after finding out âAâ stood for ally, but looked to find out what that meant. they even had the audacity to say âfull inclusion in popular mediaâ???
hey, author/researcher/whatever: youâre an idiot.
I think I just died a little on the inside when I read this in my textbook
Asexual spectrum protagonists in science fiction and fantasy books!
If youâre looking for ace or aro fiction, I highly suggest checking out Claudie Arseneaultâs awesome database. Link is here.Â
A lot of the time people act like thereâs no ace fiction, but thatâs not true! A lot of these books are by ace-spec authors as well. Weâre out here writing the stories we want to see ourselves in. :)
Other queer book PowerPoints:
Trans SFF
F/F SFF
Bi and Pan SFF
Iâm not transcribing all the text, but you can find the titles, authors, information on TW, etc beneath the cut.
When possible, Iâm linking to my database of queer books. The page for each book includes the synopsis, content warnings under spoiler tags, and links to reviews from queer readers. If itâs not in the queer database at the time of posting (8/18/19), Iâll link to Goodreads instead.Â
remember when dream daddy gave us an exclusively gay dating sim with a canon trans character and multiple characters of color with a character creator that gives you the option to be trans but yall found a secret spooky joke ending that you had to literally datamine the game for and decided it was hashtag cancelled
