Liberosis

Liberosis:

n. The desire to care less about things-- to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you before you reach the endzone-- rather to hold your life loosely and playfully, like a volleyball, keeping it in the air, with only quick fleeting interventions, bouncing freely in the hands of trusted friends, always in play.

"God-FUCKING-dammit!"

Shibayama flinched, quickly ducking back behind Yamagata as Komi screeched angrily from his spot on the couch. Yaku was in a similar condition beside him, his face having lost its calm, cool, and collected look a long time ago and being replaced with a silent, angry snarl.

Nishinoya was laughing hysterically from the recliner, his socked feet kicking and his head thrown back. Shibayama was glad that Yamagata had decided to steal the popcorn bowl eariler, otherwise the living room would be in even more disarray than it already was.

Sakunami, the apartment's resident peacemaker after Watari, didn't seem to mind Komi's screaming and Nishinoya's laughter. He was still in the same hunched position from the last seven games, leaning foward precariously and sticking his tongue out in concentration, as he once again threw Bowser off the racetrack.

Or, alternatively, the liberos of Haikyuu are roommates (read: stupid teenagers) and live in an apartment together. What could go wrong?

(The libero squad roommate AU no one asked for but I'm doing anyway because Beautiful Libero Squad trumps Pretty Setter Squad)
