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

Hi so this was supposed to be a really short story, like 10-15 chapters short, but I ended up elongating it. So just a heads up this book moves reaaaalllly fast. Contains implied NSFW things, nothing detailed. Also contains bullying/harassment, abuse and deals with emotional trauma. "I have made so many subtle changes in my everyday routine, that they're hardly noticeable anymore. However, none of it mattered. The most cruel people are the people who are the most different from you. I thought I already had it hard, I thought high school couldn't get any worse. Until Tsukishima Kei forcefully came into my life, and fucked everything up more." /I hate you...I-/ I don't own anything except for the OCs and the plot. End: Dec 29, 2020 Published: April 28, 2021

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.
