Rintori Week 2022 - Day 7 - Crossover

~

“I swear to God,” Rin grumbles, wiping sand off of his chin with the back of his hand. He drags in a harsh lungful of air, eyes on his and Ai’s opponents. “I remember beach volleyball being a lot less intense.”

Across the net, Shouyou grins, and doesn’t look like he’s even starting to sweat. He looks absolutely unrepentant when he says, “Sorry. Occupational hazard, I guess. Neither Kageyama nor I are really known for being able to just,” he shrugs, “be normal about volleyball.”

“By which you mean you’re crazy competitive, even in the most casual of settings,” Rin throws back, and if it feels a little like pot calling teakettle, well… 

Ai snorts beside him. “Rin-senpai, you’re one to talk.”

Rin’s cheeks burn, but he’ll swear up and down it’s from the high noon sun. “Hush, you.”  

Ai grins up at him, and it’s blinding. 

“I guess we could try,” Tobio says from where he’s just drank half a bottle of water. “Going a little bit easier on you guys.” He looks like it actually pains him, the thought of taking volleyball easy. Going by the look on Shouyou’s face, he has the exact same mindset. It’s honestly as hilarious as it is emboldening.

And he can now understand why these two are the stars of Japan’s national volleyball team.

He rolls his shoulders, then drapes an arm around Ai’s own, tilting his head until it touches the side of Ai’s. “I think we can take you without you needing to go easy on us. Right, Ai?”

Ai nods, as much as he can. “Right.”

Rintori Week 2022 - Day 2 - First Kiss

~

Ai blinks. And blinks again. And… no, no, he's really not dreaming. He's- He’s really-

He inhales, quick and shallow through his nose, and closes his eyes, and-

Rin uses the hand that's gently cradling the back of his head to tilt it to the side, just a bit, just enough for their noses to slide against one another, and for their lips to better slot together. 

Rin-senpai is- He's- Ai thinks, unable to finish either sentence even in his own head, because the kiss, the softness of it, the sudden surprise of it, has him absolutely incoherent. It has to be a dream. 

But it's not.

It's not, because Rin tilts his head again, in the other direction, the fingers of his other hand coming up to caress the underside of his jaw, and deepens the kiss almost lazily.

And yes, yes, it’s real. Ai is sure he could not dream up something quite so good.

("Was that okay?"

"It was... Yes. It was better than okay, Senpai."

"Good. Good. ...can I-"

Rintori Week 2022 - Day 6 - Succubo/Incubo Kink

~

He pants into Ai’s mouth, satisfaction mixed with deep, aching loss, insatiable (always, always insatiable) hunger, and unbridled anticipation and terror overwhelming him almost as much as the physical pleasure. 

Almost there, he thinks breathless, chasing that high, chasing the relief. Dreading it, too. He squeezes his eyes shut. Bites his lip even as a different voice in his head whisper-hisses, ‘Too bad he probably won’t survive. His energy’s as delicious as his kisses’.

“If I said I wanted to quit now,” Haru says, looking out at the setting sun, the sea’s gentle push-pull waves warm around his ankles. He breathes in the salty evening air, and feels something both unwind in his chest and crawl uncomfortably up his throat. He turns to Makoto. “That I’m never gonna race again. What would you say?”

~

“Are you talking to Haru-chan? Tell him to come visit!”

“Yeah, tell him! We haven’t seen him in forever!”

“Yes, yes, I’ll tell him, now shoo, both of you.” The exasperation in Makoto’s voice is tinged with so much fondness that it’s contagious, even over the phone. Haru can’t help smiling at the Tachibana siblings’ antics. “Honestly, I haven’t had a moment to myself since I got home.”

“Can you blame them? They miss their big brother,” Haruka reasons, hiding his amusement at Makoto’s whining. “They’re not used to you being gone for so long.”

Makoto sighs, and it sounds like such a dramatic thing. “Yes, well. I’m not the only one they miss, apparently, so make sure you do visit when you get back, or neither of us will ever hear the end of it.”
