Vietnam finalizing its preparations for the 31st SEA Games
Vietnam finalizing its preparations for the 31st SEA Games
As the month of April approaches, it is an instant reminder that time is moving and that means the opening of the delayed 31st Southeast Asian Games (also referred to as 31st SEA Games, SEA Games 31 and Hanoi 2021) in Hanoi, Vietnam is gradually approaching. That being said, the authorities and event stakeholders over there are working hard on the preparations not just for the games but for the…

IwaOiSuga Timeline (Single Dad!Iwa AU)
Elaborating on most of the events under the cut! This might get long.
2014 - Mikio is born while Iwaizumi is still in California. They live in California until around 2020.
2020 - Iwaizumi and Mikio move back to Japan (I guess in Mikio's case, he moves TO Japan). Iwaizumi starts working with the national team. Mikio starts school in April, Iwaizumi finds out that his teacher is Suga.
Iwaizumi and Suga end up running into each other again other times throughout the year because it turns out they have mutual friends. Iwaizumi sort of, maybe, has a crush on Suga but doesn't pursue anything at this time because he's his son's teacher. (And even if he did, Suga would have politely declined because he doesn't date parents/guardians of current students)
I like the idea of Mikio picking up a little on his dad's crush on his teacher and trying to do something about it (he's watched too many romance movies with his grandma). This leads to Iwaizumi taking him aside and being like "Hey, that's unnecessary" because he doesn't want his six year old son trying to play matchmaker for him, lol.
2021 - This isn't on the timeline but Suga and Oikawa meet this year. I always like to think about the alums having a little get together after/during (?) the Olympics before the people from different countries have to leave. So, I think Suga and Oikawa end up meeting and talking briefly here. This is a few months after Mikio moved up a grade and out of Suga's class. Oikawa is the one who gives Iwaizumi the final push to ask Suga out.
Around September, Iwaizumi and Suga start dating officially! The only ones who know are their closest friends. They don't tell Mikio until they're sure it's serious. This also isn't on the timeline but they probably tell Mikio around the six month mark? Maybe longer.
Suga and Oikawa start talking more after Suga and Iwaizumi make things official because dating Iwaizumi means being friends with Oikawa. They're a package deal. I see Suga becoming almost as close to Oikawa as Iwaizumi is.
2023 - Iwaizumi and Suga get a house together! There's not much to elaborate on here, I think... It's just a pretty big moment in their relationship. They have a housewarming party once they're all moved in. It's fun! I want to think more about how I think they decorate...
The house is a 3-bedroom! They wanted an extra room for guests (Oikawa isn't the only friend they have that's close enough to them to stay with them when they're in town but he is mostly who they have in mind).
2024 - After the 2024 Olympics, Oikawa decides to retire. I'm not 100% yet what he does after he retires, I'm personally a big fan of Oikawa deciding to coach so maybe I'll go with that?
2025 - Oikawa moves back to Japan to be closer to family. I think he took a long time to decide whether he wanted to stay in Argentina or move back to Japan. He eventually decided to move back because of Mikio, mainly, but also of course the rest of his family and friends.
He ends up living pretty close to the Iwaizumis and Suga (this is something all three of them talked about, Iwaizumi and Suga were the ones who helped him find it)! He watches Mikio for them when he's free so they can have date nights.
Sometime between 2021 and 2025, Oikawa realized that he might have feelings for Iwaizumi. And then he realized those feelings might extend towards Suga as well. He was in denial though and told himself that this was just him missing them and wishing he was closer, but it was a lot harder to ignore once he moved back and saw them more frequently. Oikawa spends a lot of time going "Oh my god, am I a homewrecker??" even though he doesn't any intention to act on these feelings.
Iwaizumi has had a similar realization about Oikawa around this time and he feels really guilty about it until he and Suga sit down and have a conversation about it and Suga confesses that he likes Oikawa too.
2026 - Oikawa joins Iwaizumi and Suga's relationship! I debated pushing this to 2027 so it was two years after Oikawa came back to Japan but... this feels right. I do think when they all get together, it's CLOSE to two years (like a year and ten months or something like that) after Oikawa moved back.
It takes a while because Oikawa obviously isn't going to be making any moves on them and Iwaizumi and Suga spend a lot of them talking about it. Things like... whether they want to actually do something about it (if things went badly, it could affect Oikawa's relationship with Mikio) and then how to go about proposing it to Oikawa once they've decided to give it a try.
They take things very slow, I think. It probably takes them longer to tell Mikio about it than it did for Iwaizumi to tell Mikio he was dating Suga.
And... yeah :3 I think Oikawa starts living with them a year or so after they make things official, I'm not sure whether they would look for a new house or not though.
As always, I'm open to people asking questions about this au!! In fact I would love it if you did. I love this au...

Why are people referring to this quad as a “tri” (even to humorous effect) when there literally was a normal individuals-only worlds in 2021

ushijima plays for warsaw post-timeskip and i’d like to point out that he’s going to have to experience the sudden, subtle, world-tilting shift that comes from being used to being one of the biggest guys in the room to realizing he has to look up to talk to most of his teammates

Daisuga WIP Wednesday: Angsty Edition
Context: This is mostly an establishing bit of the first chapter to, uh, set the (not super happy) mood and current mindset of adult Daichi. Things... have happened.
--
December 2021
<!-- 
First: Turn off the alarm. He will not do it for you. He is not there. 
Second: Let your body wake up. Resist the urge to reach for him. He is not there. 
Third: Open your eyes. Do not roll to your left side. He is not there. 
Fourth: Push the blanket away. You do not have to carefully make sure he remains covered and warm. He is not there. 
Fifth: Sit up and put your feet on the floor, first one and then the other. He will not pull you back. He is not there. 
-- >
Daichi made it to the fifth step before breaking his own rules. Turning, looking over his shoulder - that was forbidden in step six, but he hadn’t made it there yet. Muscle memory dashed forward ahead of thought, and he twisted in place, looking back. Looking for a messy cloud of ash gray hair, looking for the familiar shape of his heart, but finding only a crumpled blanket and nothing else. It wasn’t even his bed. This wasn’t even his home. 
<!--Failure Contingency 1: Don’t react. If you’re still in bed, start over from one. Else, repeat the step you failed and carry on.-- >
Getting out of bed was, by far, the hardest part of the checklist to implement, even now. He blamed it on his sleep-deprived morning brain being harder to wrestle into submission. Easier to say it was that than to go one level deeper and acknowledge all the other reasons it was hard. 
This was our time. Just us, starting the day pulling in closer to each other and bitching about the alarm. He’d complain and cling like a damn octopus to keep me there, and I’d pretend to be annoyed and fight a little before giving in and wrapping him up in my arms. I started setting the alarm just a little earlier so we could have more time like that before the day pulled us our separate ways, and he pretended not to notice. 
But he didn’t dwell on that old morning ritual. He didn’t dwell on the way their bodies relaxed into one another, warm and secure in their nest of blankets and pillows. He called his difficulty with mornings sleep deprivation or confusion and didn’t look any further, not any more. 
Looking at it square - going any deeper - hurt too much, and feeling that hurt made him aware of the other reason it was so hard to make it to step six every morning. A reason that was more frightening than painful because that one, taken to its final and logical end, wouldn’t hurt at all. That one made sense… and being able to see the sense in it came with a terrible, heavy sort of numbness that settled deep into his bones and slowed his breath. 
The first few months were a cyclical sort of hell - weeks and weeks passed, living one moment in a hurt that split him into pieces that burned and scattered like embers in the wind, and the next in a state of frozen indifference that had him stuck dangerously in place. Eventually, he’d asked himself what’s the point? and found that he just didn’t have an answer. The reason it was so hard to get out of bed - to keep going out into the world and pretending to be a human being - was that there was no reason. There was no reason to do anything at all, and the logical end to that line of thinking was just that... an end.
But he’d come back to himself and realized he was being stupid. Melodramatic. People relied on him, expected things from him. He had a job to do, and his siblings looked up to him… and his mother, what would she think… So the checklist was made to keep that terrifying logic out of his head. It was his way of fighting back, of forcing a point to exist. If there was a next step, another task to check off, then he would always, always have an answer to that awful question and neither the hurt nor the nothing could catch up to him. 
The point is to complete the checklist. Properly, no shortcuts.
Today was the first time he’d ever made it to five without having to start over. That was progress, and he was tempted to keep just going but… rules were rules, and he had to complete it properly to count. He was technically still in bed, so he started over from one. 
<!--
Sixth: Stand up. Do not look back. He is not there. 
Seventh: Go to the bathroom. DO NOT LOOK BACK. He is not there. 
Eighth: Take your shower. Do not wait for an interruption. He is not there.
-- >
He made it through the next couple of steps, finishing his shower, brushing his teeth (There is only one toothbrush. He is not there.), getting dressed (You do not have to make sure he did not go back to sleep. He is not there.), and stepping out into the kitchen to get coffee and breakfast started.  
The kitchen was just like the rest of the small apartment - a spartan affair. Daichi didn’t have much in the way of knickknacks or personal affects. What he did have was just enough. Just enough plates and bowls. Just enough silverware. Just enough drinkware. Just enough pots and pans. Just enough everything for one person. Any more than that, and he’d have to think about… 
But it wasn’t important. He had enough. He was making it work. 
<!--Thirteenth: Get your mug. Do not think about the one you had with the volleyball shaped like a heart. He is not there.-- >
He set his plain white coffee mug in the single-serve machine, loaded it with a single-serve cup of coffee grounds (Do not think about the big pot that held enough for eight but somehow only held enough for two. He is not there.), and hit start. That done, he grabbed two eggs, sliced cheese, and pre-cut fruit from the fridge. It was the last of the fruit, so he made a mental note to replenish on his way home tonight… otherwise it’d just be egg toast for breakfast tomorrow, and that would throw his routine off. Two slices of bread toasted as he fried the eggs. (Do not worry about whether the yolks pop. He is not there.) As he finished assembling his breakfast - toast, cheese on top of toast, egg on top of cheese so it melts, repeat - his coffee finished brewing. A spoon of sugar, enough cream to turn it beige (Do not think to yourself ‘would you like some coffee with your cream?’ in his voice. He is not there.), and that was done, too.
<!--
Twenty-Seventh: Sit. Do not look at the other chair. He is not there. 
Twenty-Eighth: Eat. He is not there.
-- > 
Finished, he rose and took his dishes to the sink. A quick rinse had them nestled in the dishwasher, ready to be washed after dinner later that evening. He left the kitchen, went to the entryway, put on his shoes, picked up his bag from where he’d dropped it in exhaustion the night before, and opened the door. 
<!--Thirty-Fifth: Leave. Do not say goodbye. He is not there.-- >
