PatPran stan through and through

Ah, almost forgot. Good morning!

Zen isn't immediately going - wait, doesn't what you're saying mean you are in love with me? he's just failing to process the entire thing.

And Zen is trying to seduce Ryo and Ryo is like, sure that's fine, but what I really want is a hug.

What I find most interesting about this story is that they have set it up so that these two clearly trust each other more than anyone else, and yet cannot believe a word the other person says at this moment.

these two are so dumb.

To be fair Zen has never been with a man before so it’s understandable that it comes as a complete surprise to him. I’m not sure if it was in the drama but Ryo remarked that they’ve been friends since high school but he still doesn’t really know what Zen likes and wants to know more about him.

Zen and Ryo have a relationship of solid mutual trust and respect that they have built through their years of rivalry, not friendship.

A rivalry so solid that Zen says he wouldn’t sleep with just any man if it wasn’t Ryo, with a straight face, but still thinks it’s only because he lost the bet and the winner can demand anything.

Dumb, really, but so adorable. Also very Pran circa Bad Buddy’s bet era, except Pran was already in over his head for so long his disbelief comes fear and Zen’s basically just confused.

Ryo, on the other hand is a classic yearner, hopeful but afraid to read into Zen’s words because he just /wants/ them to be real so much but he never expected to meet Zen again after high school, much less a chance to sleep with him because he wasn’t even into guys, right? He also feels a bit responsible, I think, being Zen’s first man and all that.

Anyway, in the manga you get to go into Zen’s head a lot more and you see how he just basically arguing with himself the whole time. I feel like in the drama the actor does a really good job at portraying that conflict wordlessly.

Hah…I didn’t expect to fall so hard for drama version Zen and Ryo…but dare ai say I think their portrayals of the characters are just chefs kiss at this point. The squeals and the twirls I make while watching these two idiots dancing around each other are just embarrassing at this point.

Hey guys! Bobbie here, also anonymouschupacabra on AO3. I’ve gotten a lot requests for kagehina fanfic recommendations so I’ve decided to make a masterlist of my favorite fics (all completed fics) that I’ve read (and I have read a lot.) these just go in order of longest to shortest, not in order of how much i like them because let’s be honest, if they are here i love them all.

Being Seventeen Sucks:  (Words: 125,028) This fic was so good and very angsty (which I love). It’s a third year fic and there’s a lot of “oh fuck I think I’m gay for my best friend???” and angsty drama between them. And it has Kageyama and Tsukki as friends which is my weakness. But I’m not joking about the angst. It’s really really good, but angsty.

I like the way your clothes smell: (Words: 74,953) Ok obviously this fic had to be here, I mean it’s like THE kagehina fic that everyone has to read. I feel like I don’t even need to give a bit of description because I think everyone knows about it and if you don’t then OMG READ IT RIGHT NOW IT’S AWESOME there’s a reason that it’s super well known.

The Kids Aren’t Alright:  (Words: 69,496) lmao i’m just putting this here cause i’m annoying ( it is mad good though) 

Thaw: (Words: 40,149) I really like this one. It’s a college AU which I love (obviously) It’s another one where Kageyama is like “oh my god am I gayyyy???? for hinata??? a boy??? gay????” and gosh darn it if I don’t just love those. the cliche I know, but the cliche for a reason

change in pressure: (Words: 36,516) this is a really good trans!Hinata fic and I just love it. I love trans!Hinata in general and this is in combination with empath!Kageyama. also pretty angsty, not as much as other fics but really good

Lay us Down: (Words: 32,538) Ok i’m pretty sure I’ve talked about this fic here before and that’s because its SO AMAZING. honestly i read this fic all in one sitting, like I woke up, had some time before I needed to get out of bed, downloaded it all and read the whole fucking thing in one shot on the train. I was fucking crying on the train, weeping like a baby at the end but it hurt so good. it’s inspired by the movie Seeking A Friend For The End of The World but only share some similarities with the movie. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I do, but I really do. I think this is the Kagehina fic I’ve recommended the most. But be ready to fucking cry.

Saffron and Cayenne Pepper: (Words: 30,772) I really like this fic. Something about a sexy chef Kageyama teaching Hinata how to cook is so appealing to me. and they’re neighbors (which obviously I love). It’s just sweet and cute, but they fight so it’s very in character for the both of them. 

where the night goes: (Words: 20,821) this is another fic (by an incredible writer who I am so jealous of their talent) that everyone either knows or should know about. It’s a future fic that takes place where they are both 24 and they haven’t seen each other since they’ve graduated high school. and it’s a m a z i n g. seriously it’s so good, this is another fic that I read in one go because I couldn’t put it down. please read it, it’s so beautifully written it made me want to never write again out of shame and jealousy. 

Not Alone : (Words:13,093) I love this fic, for so many reasons. I love future fics. I love drunk confessions. I love hopelessly in love Kageyama. I love them vowing to work out a long distance relationship. but probably most importantly I love kageyama covered in tattoos (another obvious thing). this fic is short and I needed like 100k more words, but it’s perfect and i love it so much.

hello! >.<

i’ve read a buuuuuunch of really good kagehina fics and i wanna share them since they’re really good! enjoy :)

Hiraeth by primela - 6.4k

Kageyama looks at Hinata, and his eyes meet his, saying all the words he can’t right now.

Hinata’s lips quirk upward, and he gives Kageyama a thumbs-up with his empty hand.

And then they move

Hinata doesn’t notice it at first, really. It’s small things, natural things, like when they sit together at lunch and Hinata ends up hooking his ankle over Kageyama’s and he doesn’t move away; in fact, he seems to not notice it, and go on eating his lunch like nothing’s different. 

Defectio Solis by Moami - 4.3k

Hinata stops talking to him – and then his smile dies. Tobio is far more bothered than he wants to admit.

The acidic taste that lingered by the ocean when there were storms. That’s what the crackling lightning Kageyama’s hands created was reminiscent of, and Hinata could feel the sand under his toes and a grandfather clock ticking in his ear.

this one is really confusing if you don’t know what’s going on, but interesting nonetheless

you’re invincible (as long as i’m here) by starberrytea - 25.2k

Hinata finds himself falling for his texting buddy, and Kageyama finds himself caring more than he should. They both realize the only people they truly have in this zombie apocalypse is each other, and the texts they share.

i love this one, it’s so cute and the ending just akvfsjbriw

Vren by Icandigelvis - 100.3k

It was the boots that caught Shoyo’s attention. They looked new and expensive sticking up from the tall grass, visible from the small trail he was walking on. He cautiously trudged closer, almost against his will. What Shoyo didn’t notice, however, was the creature watching him; blue eyes following the oblivious human.

this is probably my favourite kagehina fic ever, i just, words cannot describe how much i love this story

I like the way your clothes smell by Mysecretfanmoments - 75.2k

Power outages, ghost stories, and the presence of a certain orange-haired boy lead to bad decision-making on Tobio’s part. He’d planned to keep his crush a secret; the universe has other plans.

i love this

In Transit by Mysecretfanmoments - 4.7k

Hinata finds that he likes standing close to Kageyama on buses and trains. It doesn’t mean anything–probably. Maybe.

Somewhere out there is your forever one wearing your Mark on their skin; it’s just a matter of finding them.
