Heyo, I’m back! :3 *waves* Sorry for being in here so much: I have a slight Peppermint Mocha addiction lols 😅🤣
If I may, could I please ask for Platonic!Kagehina of Haikyuu? :3 I think a funny prompt would be Hinata gets one of those ridiculously long scarfs as a gag gift and wants to share it with Kageyama, so they both wear it and kinda drag eachother around until someone’s all: “That’s it!” And grabs the other accidentally tickling them 👀
If you’re not feeling Kagehina, I’d love to see AsaNoya- really whichever feels right! 💖 No pressure to write these of course- if you feel up to it, have at it :)
Thank you so much, friend! Have a great winter and holiday! 💖💖💖
❄️ Peppermint Mocha Special Order ❄️

“Hinata!” Kageyama snapped as he was pulled forward without warning, connected to his friend via oversized scarf.
“I got it!” Hinata declared proudly, holding up the chocolate he’d dropped on the ground. He began unwrapping it without a care in the world, oblivious to Kageyama’s glare in his direction.
Noya, as a joke, had given Hinata a way-too-large scarf for Christmas, which Hinata had of course worn proudly despite tripping over it several times. When the two of them had sat down to lunch, he took one look at Kageyama shivering in the cold wind and insisted they share the material for a little while. Kageyama had been secretly grateful at first, but now…
“Would you stop darting all over the place?” the setter cried as he was once again pulled forward against his will when Hinata went chasing after something the wind tried to snatch away. “You’re going to kill me!” He’d already almost choked on his milk and barely been spared from biting into his own finger instead of a carrot stick.
“Don’t be dramatic, Kageyama,” Hinata replied, sitting back up again. “Would you rather be cold?”
“At this point, yes!” Kageyama huffed. At the sight of his friend rolling his eyes, something inside him reacted automatically. He grabbed Hinata around the middle and yanked him closer, trying to get under his coat to tickle his belly and sides without looking like he was assaulting the redhead.
“Ah! W-What are you – Kageyahahahama!” Hinata squealed, realizing immediately the danger he was in but far too late to try and escape it. He giggled preemptively, squirming in the setter’s hold. “Dohohon’t be such a wihihimp! Next time I wohohon’t share my scarf with you – ah!”
Kageyama smirked victoriously. “Gotcha.”
“Nohohohohohoooo, Kageyahahahahahama! Dohohohohohon’t!” Hinata pleaded, giggling helplessly as his friend scratched and scribbled at his belly and hips as much as he could reach under his bulky winter coat.
“No fun being stuck to another person when you can’t get away, is it, Hinata?”
“Yohohohohou’re the one who agreheheheheheheed to this!”
“Oh, so it’s my fault?”
“Yehehehehehehes!”
Kageyama abandoned all pretenses and tackled his friend to the cold ground, unzipping his coat in a hurry to get to his ribs – his real weak spot. Hinata threw his head back and cackled hysterically, kicking and squirming all the while, but the scarf connecting the two of them made certain he wasn’t going anywhere fast.
It all ended up being much more fun than either of them anticipated.

ah yes, home at last... ON TONIGHT'S SPECIAL: What The Hell Is Tumblr User Thawthebeez Going Crazy Insane About Today?
The winning point Karasuno scored against Inarizaki.
Let's discuss this real fast, because this is once again another VERY IMPORTANT MOMENT that is overshadowed because "omg kagehina touched hands for like 2 frames."
For those who have NO IDEA what the hell I'm talking about and care for a summary: Karasuno is at match point against Inarizaki, a powerhouse school that's favoured to win the Spring Tournament. Stakes are high and the tension in palpable. The ball is on Inarizaki's side, and they're about to send it over. Now, what attack do they choose? Well, it's none other than the Miya twins with their minus-tempo attack. You know, the same one that Kageyama and Hinata do.
This attack is fast. Like, very fast. It literally occurs within the blink of an eye. This isn't an attack that can break through blocks. Speed is its main weapon. It's also an attack that relies on trust. You know, a certain bond between the two players. Because of its speed, the setter and the spiker need to have absolute faith in one another.
All throughout the series we see Kageyama and Hinata figure this out. Hinata isn't a heavy hitter, but he is fast, making this kind of attack perfect for him. And it works for a good long while. It's faster than all the other fast attacks and can evade blocks pretty well. Until it doesn't. And that's when they regroup, developing this attack so Hinata can have some more freedom.
Essentially, Hinata and Kageyama learn that while this freak quick they do is strong, it's not invincible. It's fast, but not unstoppable.
Now what gets me is the fact that the only characters in the ENTIRE SERIES to pull off the minus-tempo attack are Hinata & Kageyama, and the Miya twins.
Just two guys, and twins.
Atsumu and Osamu have known each other their entire lives. That's sixteen years of bonding for you. Not to mention the fact that they're bounded by blood, too. Of course the chemistry they're going to have on the court is going to be insane. They literally have, like, twin-telepathy. Of course they can pull off an attack that happens within the blink of an eye. Of fucking course. The faith that's needed between the setter and spiker has been established since the dawn of time for them.
Kageyama and Hinata met for the first time in Junior High. Their third year of Junior High, by the way. They were also on separate teams, and they played a whopping 31 minute game against each other. They were reunited again at Karasuno, but were immediately at each other's throats. They saw the other as a rival (and they still do now, but it's more of a friendly rivalry as opposed to "I need to utterly destroy this guy"). They weren't even officially on the same team until after they pulled off their freak attack. At the point in which Karasuno plays against Inarizaki, Kageyama and Hinata have only been playing on the same team for less than a year.
The freak quick was developed in a single day. By this point, they don't even have faith in one another, just the point, the "I trust that the ball will come my way" and "I trust that he'll score," and even then, the trust Kageyama put into Hinata was iffy.
Allow me to state this again: the only people to have pulled off the minus-tempo quick attack in the entirety of the Haikyuu series are the Miya twins, and Kageyama and Hinata.
To put this into absolutely utterly batshit insane speak: HINATA AND KAGEYAMA HAVE A BOND AS STRONG AS BLOOD, DARE I SAY STRONGER, BECAUSE IN A SINGLE DAY THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SAME ATTACK THAT LITERAL BIOLOGICAL TWINS CAN. THE ATTACK IS BUILT ON TRUST, AND WHILE THEY MAY NOT HAVE PUT IT INTO EACH OTHER AT THE TIME, THEY WERE STILL WILLING TO GIVE FAITH TO ONE ANOTHER. WHY? SOULMATE SHIT, MAN, IDK.
Like, if we're going back to the first ever quick attack, we're dealing with a Hinata that has been told all his life that a guy like him playing volleyball is a waste, and we've got a Kageyama that's still coping with the events of Junior High. They have absolutely ZERO REASON to trust one another, even if it's just for the single point, but they do anyway because there's at least a subconscious voice- an instinct, maybe, knowing how much these two rely on instinct- that this one, for whatever fucking reason, is okay to trust.
And I think that Tsukishima sums it up perfectly when he mentions that only Hinata and Kageyama could have blocked that attack- that out of anyone, they were the only ones who truly understand that while the attack is strong- while the speed of it is an absolute weapon- it's not invincible.
(the fact that it was both of them, too- the fact that both of their hands were on the ball in that moment- the fact that after everything was said and done they still bickered about who scored that point because that's just who they are, and the fact that in the reality it was both of them who scored. ugh. they just. you get it. you understand)

what are your top 5 kagehina moments?
1. Gotta be the second 3rd tempo set in the match against Nekoma. Mostly because I just wrote like a mini essay on it in my last ask.
2. The anime version of when they block the twins minus quick and the camera lingers on their hands. Tell me you ship it without telling me you ship it. I lost my mind when I first realized that scene wasn't in the manga
3. This is cheating but every instance of "I'm here". From the first one where it's a plea to which "as long as I'm here, you're invincible" is almost a response along with a promise to the beginning of the jackadlers match to the end of the jackadlers match when Kageyama says "you're here" first. It's such a loaded phrase for them.
4. "Gimme it here" "Fine" during the Kamomedai match. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm a sucker for when Hinata leads Kageyama along during a match. This one just so happens to be most prominent in my head atm. If you caught me a month earlier, it would've been that one time Kageyama muses in his head about how he almost gave Hinata the ball without even thinking about it and how Hinata's such a dangerous decoy.
5. This one's hard but imma go with when Hinata falls during the Kamomedai match and Kageyama says "I'm going on ahead". It's his way of saying "you've gotta take take of yourself if you want to catch up" and "don't fall behind" and his face when he says it looks almost heartbroken

The thing about me is that I fucking love ships that ride the edge of being canon. Ships where, in the actual text of the work, it is made clear that they care for each other in ways that are just a little too intense but, because of circumstances, they never take that last step into being together. It could be external factors, a war or a separation or pressure from another character, or internal factors, like trauma or self-doubt or pride, keeping them apart. But in the end they pass each other like ships in the night, in love but it's never the right time or place to make a move and then the moment is gone and it's never coming back and their love sits in the back of the story, unacknowledged, as they try desperately to move on thinking the other party already has.
If I watch a show or play a game or whatever and there's a couple like that, where the subtext of love is constantly on the edge of breaking into text and you can easily imagine another world slightly to the left where that last barrier is broken down and they get to be together... Yeah, that's my shit.
Of course, this means that the bulk of my ships are the boring obvious ones but I like the canonical longing, leave me alone.
