Reki is outed in a very Christian town. His life quickly takes several turns for the worse. But he meets new people, kind people, like Langa, Joe, Cherry, Miya, and Shadow. Read to feel sad emotions! (theyre friends for a while before they start dating in this) (TW: bullying, hate crimes, f slur, self harm, suicide, SA and rape (no heavy description ew), and domestic abuse And also murder and shooting guns. Realized I should add this here.)

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had a very close friendship for many years, though neither of them knew when or how that friendship had turned mostly to Yamaguchi following Tsukishima out of blind adoration. After this was brought to his attention, Tsukishima decided to do something about it, coincidentially on the same day Yamaguchi rediscovered his favourite childhood candy, Strawberry Mentos. ------- This book is inspired by the song "Strawberry Mentos" by Leanna Firestone, so there will be pieces of lyrics in the story, or pieces of the story based off of lyrics. The characters may be out of character at times, but this is a fanfiction, so it should be expected. (Though I did my best to keep them in character.) ------- **This entire book was pre written, meaning I completed writting this story before the first chapter was posted. This story will not be discontinued or go on hiatus due to this.** ------- This is my first story so please forgive me of it's not the best :) ------- I do not own Haikyu!! or any of the characters, that belongs to Haruichi Furudate

yamaguchi feels forgotten and unimportant to his team. when Yamaguchi's new neighbour starts threatening him to be his boyfriend, he thinks no one will notice his pain, not even his best friend Tsuki. WARNINGS: violence abuse mentions of rape

Yamaguchi is trans with a very homophobic mother. Not only is he stressing about his team finding out and kicking him off the boy's volleyball, but his mother is just getting worse in her abuse. Tsukki does all he can to help, but that might not be enough. This story contains some trans and gay slurs and body dysphoria, there is also some violence, so please don't read if you don't like it!

Yamaguchi never met Tsukishima as kids. He never went to Karasuno either. Out on a work trip, anxious Yamaguchi runs into local celebrity, Tsukishima Kei, the darling middle blocker for the Sendai Frogs. Their chance encounter is full of misunderstandings, but they go their separate ways, never expecting to cross paths again. That is until the internet goes crazy about Tsukishima's new boyfriend, caught fighting and making up at the bus station with a photo taken wildly out of context for the whole world to see. They really can't escape each other now, and Yamaguchi is starting to think he doesn't want to.
