    [Wait, did you say Rio? Does that mean he understands us?]

    They glanced at him from across the net. Shouyou arranged his face so that it wasn’t obvious that he was listening, but he could feel like he was failing at it.

    “Oi. What are you up to?” Kageyama glanced at the Brazilian team, they were watching them like a hawk so Shouyou sent a wave their way. The Brazilian team waved back with hesitation.

    “Eavesdropping.” He answered Kageyam with a grin. The opposing team was staring at Shouyou with uncertainty. It’s not like he was gonna bite! They didn’t need to act so cautious around him. 

    [For real? Is that Ninja Shouyou?] One of them exclaimed. 

    Shoyou laughed. [Yep! Ninja Shouyou in the flesh.] He said in Portuguese.

    All of them turned to him with wide eyes.

    Summary

    I think my kids are gay and in love but I don’t know if I should talk to them about it.
    posted by u/overworkedunderpaidcoach • 9 hours ago

    For context; I (M26) have been out as a bisexual man for 8 years of my life. After some bumps, incognito Google searches and ‘am I gay’ quizzes, I came out when I was 17. Things were rough but my friends and family helped me through it.

    Fast forward to where I am now, I’m a coach to a high school volleyball team.

    Karasuno Family Rules by

    Summary

    When somebody saw the Karasuno volleyball team, a couple of different things would go through their head. They would think about how skilled the team was; they would think about how close the team was; they would think about how determined the team was.

    And after watching the team for at most five minutes (or sooner depending on how well they knew the team), they would think about how crazy they were. Some of the members (Yamaguchi, Yachi, Ennoshita, Kinoshita, Narita, and Kiyoko) were normal, but for the most part the team was made up of teenagers that were slightly crazy in some way, and they would probably begin to wonder how Samawara Daichi managed this team.

    If asked, Sawamura Daichi would respond with two words: the rules.

    Summary

    “So, what is Poor-gege doing here?”

    Lan Jingyi almost smacks into the ground with the way he trips over his feet.

    “Uhm—! Excuse me?? Poor!”

    “Stop being so clumsy, Poor-gege,” A-Yuan huffs as he impatiently tugs at Jingyi’s hand.

    Lan Jingyi relents himself to being dragged again, however not without narrowing his eyes at the little boy.

    “Just because I’m not your Rich-gege doesn’t mean I’m poor,” he mumbles under his breath.

    A-Yuan gives a shrug and hums noncommittally,

    “If Poor-gege says so.”
