hey, so i saw your response to an anon a few months ago about tsukkikage where they're both ace, and i was wondering if you had any additional headcanons around that? i also hc them both as ace :)
kageyama not even knowing there was a word for not being attracted to people until he heard tsukishima mentioning it, he just thought it was yet another social thing that he didn’t understand
tsukishima being very reluctant to tutor kageyama on the sexuality spectrum
as per expected tsukishima answers any and all of kageyama’s questions shortly and with as little talking as he can make it
however, he does answer all of them honestly and doesn’t dance around issues (which is very helpful for kageyama)
I kind of imagine kageyama’s a little ignorant about a lot of things. He’s only ever heard traditional viewpoints since those are everywhere and he’s never been interested in things that aren’t volleyball so he’s never sought out more information. In that sense, a lot of what tsukishima tells him confuses him.
“So… I don’t have to want sex.”
“No one ever has to want sex, you dunce.”
“Not even when I get married?”
“Nope. And don’t you mean if you get married? You have to find someone to agree to spend the rest of their miserable life with you, you know.”
“Shut up! But what about the wedding night? Don’t the bride and the groom go and… do things?”
“Oh god, I am not talking about this with you.”
“But…”
“Ok listen. Sex should only happen when both you and your poor, clearly desperate partner want it. If you don’t ever want it, you don’t ever have to have it. Got it? Great! Question time is over.”
“Um–”
“It’s over. Sorry, we’re closed. Tune in tomorrow for more of this riveting conversation… not that I could stop you.”
side note: tsukishima is probably so Tired™ of non-ace people saying they don’t understand what he means by asexuality
he’s also pretty tired of people assuming that this just means that he’s shy and reserved
“i admire how you’re waiting until marriage, i am too.”
“oh my god.”
