rather elaborate kghn hc me and a mutual made in feb
ok so back when i was the most active in the hq fandom (my tiktok days... rip osamatobio), i had this really elaborate headcanon about kghn after their professional volleyball careers ended. So i’m putting it here.
ok so most professional sports careers end when the player is in their forties (i think idk), so for two volleyball obsessed maniacs, what’s next? more volleyball obviously.
so... after years of travelling the world and playing volleyball at an international level, Hinata and Kageyama, now well into their forties, retire from playing professional volleyball, and head back to their home turf- Miyagi.
neither of the two got a college education, but their volleyball resume’s are lengthy and decorated- so finding coaching gigs came rather easily.
hinata, who had made a name for himself, goes back to Yukigaoka, and with his personal funds and a lot of persuading to the school, starts up a volleyball team. it takes a couple years to gain the players (hinata forever catching up to kageyama in everything they do), but eventually he has a team, and through his coaching, they become good.
kageyama, well over his kitagawa daiichi trauma, goes back to his former middle school, and takes all the training, and everything he learnt about teamwork through the years, and puts it to good use. he built the team he had always wanted at kitaiichi. he values communication, teamwork, and really makes sure the teammates are bonded. occasionally kindaichi would stop by and co-coach with kageyama...
given their coaches, the two teams become rivals. they hold practice matches together, training camps, and often battle for the ticket to nationals against eachother. the first time kageyama’s team makes it to nationals (the second year of hinata building his team), hinata along with his eight players show up in tokyo, giving kageyama their support. the same thing happened when hinata’s team made it to nationals.
sometimes during practice matches, the two coaches would go off into long tangents dissing each other, and their teams, already used to their coaches antics, would carry on without their coaches like normal.
outside of coaching, hinata and kageyama would play at a rec league together, along with tsukishima, occasionally yamaguchi, and a few other players from their highschool years.
the two continue to coach well into their seventies, until eventually retiring. they spend the rest of their lives as that one happy old couple, competing to see who would live the longest, and reminiscing over their careers.
“and then you did a setter dump!”
“oikawa’s face was priceless”
“and we have the gold in our living room as proof.”
i dont know. i just know that their lives will forever be revolved around eachother, and this is how i cope with hq ending.
