Sweet & salty (Kei Tsukishima x depressed reader)
12 parts Complete MatureFalling for Tsukishima Kei was never part of the plan.
(Y/N) Kageyama has always been content living in the shadow of her volleyball-obsessed twin, Tobio. But when she finds herself drawn into the world of Karasuno's team-despite having no interest in the sport-things take an unexpected turn. Between old wounds, an overprotective brother, and a best friend who sees through her every facade, (Y/N) is used to keeping people at arm's length.
Then there's Tsukishima. Annoying. Sarcastic. Too smart for his own good. And somehow, the only person who makes her feel seen.
What starts as teasing banter turns into something deeper-something neither of them are prepared for. But (Y/N) has spent years building walls, and Tsukishima has never been one to break them down gently. As feelings intensify and past traumas resurface, (Y/N) must decide if she's willing to let someone in... and if Tsukishima is patient enough to wait.
Because love isn't always easy, and sometimes, the hardest battles aren't fought on the volleyball court.
