first: tsukiyamakagehina. yes. all four of them. it is the year 2025 we are NOT going to freak out about poly people

I just KNOW none of them feel left out. sure, most of the time it's just duos doing whatever, whether it's Tsukishima and Kageyama cuddling, Hinata and Yamaguchi playing a board game, Kageyama and Yamaguchi talking softly about their day, sneaking in occasional kisses, Tsukishima teasing Hinata lovingly, Hinata and Kageyama making everything a competition, or Tsukishima and Yamaguchi spending time ranting about their favorite things, neither one of them is left alone.

They'll have nights where they're never split into duos, always spending time together. they'll even cuddle together, all four of them squeezed onto Tsukishima's bed, because they had decided long ago that with Tsukishima's cooler older brother, and his awesome mom, his house was definitely the house for sleepovers and hangouts.

Yes, it does get a bit complicated coming out to anyone, especially their team, but they patiently describe it using everyone's words. Tsukishima explains it textbook style, explaining what polyamory is, yet refusing to explain or talk about how he realized he loved all three of them.

Yamaguchi goes a bit more into detail based on feelings, talking about how he felt excited and happy near these people, how they made his day and never failed to make him smile.

Kageyama just shrugs. "I like them. I dunno what made me like them I just.. do" he's.. not the best with words.

and Hinata.. Hinata is just Hinata. He starts ranting excitedly, talking about how awesome his three boyfriends are and describing his feelings with onomatopoeia. as usual..

Everyone loves Yamaguchi

I think during their second year, they were definitely hardcore crushing on each other. Everyone knew. Hinata and Tsukishima both knew and grew tired of it FAST. Even Tadashi and Kageyama themselves knew. They were scared to talk about it though, scared to ruin anything or to disrupt the dynamic of the team or their own friendship.

Even still, they made a habit of spending every second together. They would spend lunch together, they would walk home together, they would study together (more like Tadashi would study and Kageyama would TRY to study), and they even ended up hanging out on the weekends.

Tsukishima and Hinata definitely teased them all the way through second year. Not subtly, in front of everyone. The new first years were confused on whether or not they were actually dating, but they were too scared to ask. Tanaka and Noya (and even eventually Ennoshita and the other third years) started to tease them too.

On Valentine's day during their second year, Kageyama found chocolate laid on top of his bag after practice. He didn't say anything. Just took it home and ate every last bite of it. The next day at practice, he stuck by Tadashi's side and helped him with his serves. On white day, Tadashi found some chocolate on top of his bag after practice. He didn't say anything. Just smiled and looked at Kageyama with a smile that could melt a heart.

In their third year, they were left alone in the clubroom. With Tadashi now being the captain, he stayed later in order to make sure everyone left so he could lock up the gym and the clubroom. Hinata had already left, but of course Kageyama stayed so he could walk him home.

"You really don't have to stay, Kageyama." Tadashi told him.

"Of course I do."

It didn't take long for Tadashi to finally breakdown and kiss him. It wasn't much, quick and Tadashi's not even sure why he did it. He knows it's not something that will ever happen. When he pulls away and tries to apologize, Kageyama tells him he doesn't have to. He kisses him again. It was awkward, Kageyama hadn't kissed many people before. And he held Tadashi by his shoulders. Tadashi laughed at him.

Afterward, they talked. They both knew what they wanted, it's their third year and they might not see each other after they graduate if they don't do something about this now. Kageyama is insistent that they should ask coach Ukai for his blessing. Tadashi thinks it's a little silly, but he doesn't mind indulging Kageyama.

The next day, before school, they meet at Sakunoshita. They sit down with Ukai and tell him everything. They ask him if he thinks it's alright for them to be together.

He laughs at them. He tells them that as long as they don't get distracted, and they can still play well, he won't say anything about it. They thank him and leave. They walk to school. When they're about there, Kageyama asks if this means they're dating now. Tadashi laughs and tells him of course it does.
