To bring back KPop demon hunters songs to the switched au...
Reader and the others' reactions to the songs. Especially Golden, Takedown, and Your Idol >:3c
Darius is watering the lawn shirtless while singing to "Soda Pop" and bopping along to it, drawing the entire neighborhood's attention. XD That's literally the first thing that came to mind. Bonus: if R!Caleb is in the next yard, gardening as well, and being an absolute dork with him. Maybe Darius feels like he knows the guy from somewhere.
Only you know your own reaction to the songs B3
Adrian is a closet fan, opening up to hating it due to its popularity, but he's the one who's hunting down all the Huntrix and Saja Boys merchandise. You might catch him singing Golden in the shower or any time he thinks he's alone XD
Alador may mutter the lyrics while working and subtly move to the beat, but that's as far as he goes. His attention is usually on other things within the human realm that fascinate him more.
Steve is the type who will have "Take Down" blasting on his motorcycle while out and about. On repeat. You can chalk it up to him being salty over how things in the Boiling Isles went down, and, while he may not show it, he aims the song right at Belos. It also makes him think of Raphael, someone he was really close to in the Boiling Isles.
Belos is indifferent unless you're involved. You might catch his shoulders moving to "Soda Pop," but he stops when he realizes he's doing it. The only way he's going to get more involved is if he somehow finds out Huntrix are demon hunters XD He does tend to lean toward "Your Idol" due to the religious undertones.
Decided to doodle something inspired by @stormvanari‘s Switched!AU and since this AU is about role swaps I decided to make The Painter the mature and Vanellope the Cinnamon Roll
A/N: Hi everyone! I’m so thankful for the wonderful reception to the first part of my fic, Switched! I released part 2 on AO3 (find it here) a few days ago, and I’ve been meaning to upload it here, so here’s part 2! Once again, @amit-crabcrab is wholly responsible for the amazing concept and even better fanart that inspired this fic. Hope you enjoy!!
Waking up in Tsukkishima’s body was no less jarring than it was the day before. Kageyama had been hoping, praying that maybe the entire thing was a nightmare, but when he woke up and couldn’t see five feet in front of him, a scowl formed on his face and he nearly slammed his hands onto the glasses on the bedside table.
He grabbed for Tsukki’s phone and sent a quick text to Tsukkageyama only to be startled half to death when not even a minute later Tsukkageyama pushed the bedroom door open. “My—I mean, your—mom let me in,” he said with a shrug, dropping a bag at the door and closing the door behind him.
“Do you remember that shrine visit?” Kageyama blurted. Tsukkageyama raised an eyebrow at him.
“That was over a month ago. I thought of that, too,” Tsukkageyama admitted. “But I don’t think it’s that.”
“Well that’s the only thing that makes any sense in my mind,” Kageyama replied with a defeated shrug. “But whatever.”
“Can you please put some actual clothes on?” Tsukkageyama said in a mock-disgusted tone. “I’m sitting here looking at myself shirtless and it’s kind of uncomfortable.”
Kageyama stuck out his tongue, but he obliged, throwing his legs off the side of the bed and standing. He still wasn’t used to this new lanky height and found himself stumbling a bit with his first few steps. I probably look like a toddler, he thought with a grimace, but Tsukkageyama didn’t comment. He threw on some clothes for the day, somehow not even minding that Tsukkageyama was watching, because after all it was his body, not Kageyama’s.
“So, you and Hinata,” Tsukkageyama whistled as Kageyama flopped back down onto the bed. “Can’t say I didn’t see it coming.”
“Shut up,” Kageyama growled back. “You and Yamaguchi are together too.”
“We have been for almost a year,” Tsukkageyama responded, idly picking at Kageyama’s pristine fingernails. “Pretty much everyone knows.”
“Is that why you freaked out so much when I said that last night on the phone?” Kageyama sneered, watching himself—Tsukkageyama—become flustered once again. Even though Tsukki wasn’t in his own body, it still felt strange to see him this nervous and jumpy. Kageyama thought that despite the cool demeanor Tsukkageyama wore, he really was terrified of their current situation.
“Okay, so maybe not everyone knows. I’d like you to keep it a secret,” Tsukkageyama refused to look over at Kageyama as he spoke.
“Ditto,” Kageyama replied. “Hinata and I haven’t really decided what we are yet, and we wanted to wait until we did to tell anyone…” Kageyama felt backed into a corner. The last person he ever wanted to figure out about his and Hinata’s relationship was, in fact, Tsukkishima, but now he couldn’t help but tell Tsukkageyama the details of their relationship in order for Tsukkageyama to not screw it up.
This whole situation was a hot mess, and Kageyama honestly had no idea how to deal with it. Based on the furrowed brows and scowl on Tsukkageyama’s face, he also had no idea how to deal with the fact that they had switched bodies. After all, this wasn’t really something one could Google and find a WikiHow article on how to reverse a body-switch.
“Where are we going today?” Kageyama asked finally, breaking the tense silence that had fallen between them.
“Well, I told Yamaguchi it would be a surprise,” Tsukkageyama replied with all the vigor of Tsukki. “We could go anywhere.”
“How about a movie?”
“Yamaguchi doesn’t like movie dates. He likes to talk.”
Kageyama scowled. Hinata also didn’t like movie dates because he’d gotten kicked out of so many theaters for making sound effects where he thought they should be in movies. Kageyama had to remind the boy multiple times that when characters kiss, it doesn’t make the “SMOOCHY” sound that Hinata always emphasized.
“Dinner?” Tsukkageyama suggested. “I mean, it’s not ideal, but—”
Kageyama’s phone rang. Tsukkageyama picked it up and immediately groaned. “It’s Shrimpy,” he grumbled.
“Well, answer it!”
“He calls you too damn much.”
“Answer the phone!”
Somehow Kageyama didn’t even have to ask for Tsukkageyama to put the phone on speaker mode. He really just wanted to hear Hinata’s voice, the way he talked to him and only him. It sounded sappy, but that was because it was, and Kageyama didn’t mind being sappy when it came to that little ball of sunshine.
“Ka-ge-ya-ma!” Hinata sang into the phone. “Are we hanging out today?”
“Yes,” Tsukkageyama groaned. Kageyama sent him a warning glare.
“Okay, because there’s this super cool festival happening right now! It’s kind of small but there’s food carts and a few games and stuff—”
“Okay.”
“Gwaah!”
“That’s not a real word.”
Kageyama sent Tsukkageyama a warning kick to the side. Both of them flinched.
“I’m on my way to your house now!”
“Wait – Hinata,” Tsukkageyama suddenly had a look of panic on his face.
“Yes?”
“I’ll…meet you there. I’m not home right now.”
“Where could Kageyama be at such an early hour?” Hinata hummed on the other side of the phone, and Kageyama really wanted to grab the phone from Tsukkageyama’s hand and tell him everything, tell him how they switched bodies and how much he missed Hinata—but Tsukkageyama had just mumbled a “you’ll see” into the phone and hung up.
“Here’s the plan,” Tsukkageyama spoke sternly to Kageyama now. “We’re going to go shopping. You’re going to tell me what Shrimpy likes, and I’m going to tell you what Yamaguchi likes. We’re going to suck it up and play good boyfriends, and after that we’ll deal with…this situation.” He gestured between the two of them.
“Right.” Kageyama wasn’t used to Tsukkageyama taking charge like this. The only time Tsukki had ever taken charge like this was during a match, when he was timing out blocks, and even then he simply said “ready, and”. There was never an explicit plan laid out like he’d just done. He watched Tsukkageyama fidget – something that Kageyama had never seen Tsukki do – and knew that Yamaguchi must be special to him, for him to be this worried about everything.
That’s not to say Kageyama wasn’t worried, because he was. But his and Hinata’s relationship was new, and while Kageyama would love to have kissed Hinata the night before and not Yamaguchi, he knew that Tsukki and Yamaguchi were practically inseparable, and that this must be hell for Tsukkageyama.
Did he actually feel bad for that asshole?
He didn’t have long to dwell on whether or not the feeling in his chest was frustration that he couldn’t see Hinata or frustration that Tsukkageyama couldn’t spend time with Yamaguchi. Tsukkageyama pushed himself up off the bed and grabbed his bag. “Let’s go,” he said without looking back at Kageyama.
***
Shopping with Tsukkageyama, as much as Kageyama hated to admit it, was kind of fun. Tsukkageyama had a habit of mumbling comments about other shoppers, saying things like “she really wore that out in public?” and “he looks like he doesn’t know how to use a hairbrush.” Kageyama would snicker behind his hand, admittedly practicing to play the role of Tsukkishima later during their double date.
As they idly walked around the store, looking for things to get each other’s boyfriends, they devised a plan. Kageyama had to pick Yamaguchi up, so Kageyama would text Tsukkageyama when they were on their way to the festival. Tsukkageyama and Hinata would buy lunch at a nearby stand and sit at a table in clear sight from the direction that Kageyama and Yamaguchi would be coming from. Once Hinata spotted Kageyama (Tsukkishima) and Yamaguchi, there was not doubt in either of their minds that Hinata would wave them over, and the group would – like magic – be on a double date.
That was the hope, anyways, as Kageyama picked out a small crow stuffed animal and gave it to Tsukkageyama. “Hinata loves stuffed animals,” he mumbled, cheeks turning somewhat pink. He hated the feeling of not getting the stuffed animal for Hinata himself; even since before they were dating, Kageyama treated Hinata to stuffed animals for special occasions. One time, he even found a calico cat plushie to commemorate a training camp with Nekoma.
Tsukkageyama didn’t say anything about Kageyama’s blushing. Instead, he led Kageyama to the flowers aisle. “Yamaguchi really likes flowers and gardening, so, um…just pick some.” Tsukkageyama wore the same frustrated blush Kageyama did as Kageyama tried to decide between two bouquets. Finally, he settled for one with orange and white lilies. The two paid for their respective gifts, and Tsukkageyama gave Kageyama directions to Yamaguchi’s house.
When they parted ways, Kageyama felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. This was really happening, and so much could go wrong in the span of a single day that he felt like his heart might beat out of his chest. He followed Tsukkageyama’s directions carefully (he’d sent them in a text while making fun of Kageyama’s short-term memory) and made it to Yamaguchi’s house much faster than he’d made it home the night before with Tsukkageyama’s directions. He wondered vaguely if Tsukkageyama had been messing with him the night before. Probably, he concluded.
He sent Tsukkageyama a text that he’d made it to Yamaguchi’s house. Just before Kageyama called to say he was outside, Yamaguchi swung open the door, smiling sweetly. “Hey, Tsukki,” he chirped, then looked down and saw the bouquet Kageyama had so carefully carried all the way here. “Oh! Are those for me?”
“Who else would they be for?” Kageyama asked in the most Tsukki tone he could muster; it must have worked, because Yamaguchi giggled and grabbed the bouquet, then planted a kiss on his cheek.
“I’ll go put these in water, then we can go. Where are we going, anyways?”
“You’ll see.”
Somehow, Kageyama felt much more relaxed on their walk to the festival than he had felt the day before. This time he listened to Yamaguchi rattle on, and maybe had he listened the day before he could have gathered just how much Yamaguchi loved to garden; he talked endlessly about the status of a few vegetable plants he was growing, as well as some sunflowers that he said reminded him of Hinata, then laughed. Kageyama smiled at this, thinking once again of Hinata as they turned a corner and headed toward the festival.
“Oh, Tsukki, you said you didn’t like festivals!” Yamaguchi’s face lit up.
“It’s not always about me,” Kageyama responded. He found it easy to act like Tsukki when it was just him and Yamaguchi; he didn’t have a grumpy face that made things like this sound cranky when he said them to Hinata. He decided maybe the best idea for the night was to act like Yamaguchi was Hinata—
But that wouldn’t be happening, he decided, when they saw Hinata and Tsukkageyama sitting together. Hinata had the crow plushie stuffed under his arm, and he wore the absolute cutest summer outfit. Nothing could top the real Hinata, he decided quickly.
As if on cue, Hinata stood and waved the second he saw Yamaguchi and Kageyama (Tsukki). Tsukkageyama turned around and – was that a smile? Yamaguchi waved to the two with a shy smile, then looked up at Kageyama. “Tsukki, did you know they’d be here?”
“N-no,” Kageyama replied. Maybe he wasn’t entirely used to acting like Tsukkishima.
“Yamaguchi, Tsukkishima! Over here!”
When they sat, Yamaguchi let his knees bump against Kageyama’s under the table. Kageyama wondered if this was similar to the nervous tick Hinata had; whenever Hinata was unsure of himself, he would tap his fingers in a certain pattern on Kageyama’s shoulder, palm, whatever was closest. And, if Kageyama was able, he’d get Hinata out of that situation. Again, something they’d been doing long before they started dating.
“What are you guys doing here?” Tsukkageyama asked, trying his best to sound like actual Kageyama.
“Tsukki brought me here,” Yamaguchi replied with a smile over at Kageyama. “We’re on a—”
“Friend date!” Hinata piped up quickly, his cheeks and ears red with embarrassment. “Yup, us too! Right, Kageyama?”
“Oh, um, yeah,” Tsukkageyama nodded. His eyes were trained on Kageyama with a look of subtle horror in his eyes as both of them came to the realization that either they would have to admit they were dating, or they would continue in this unsettling atmosphere.
“How’s your face?” Hinata asked Kageyama, sneering a bit. “Kageyama got you good, didn’t he?”
“Oh—um, it’s fine,” Kageyama struggled, being put under the spotlight far too quickly. “I deserved it.”
That shocked everyone at the table, including Tsukkageyama, who made a quick sputtering noise and shook his head. “No, I’m sorry I did that,” he said finally, and it sounded much too sincere to be coming from either Tsukki or Kageyama.
Kageyama waved it off after the momentary shock and the group instead shifted to discussing some television show that Hinata and Yamaguchi both enjoyed. Hinata was trying to explain the plot to Tsukkageyama while Yamaguchi argued about how the two main characters were obviously in love to Kageyama. Both of them looked at each other from the corners of their eyes, completely confused because neither one of them had seen a single episode of the show.
It became harder and harder for Kageyama to watch Hinata mindlessly drum his fingers on Tsukkageyama’s hand. That should be me, he thought stubbornly, and he didn’t even notice how hard he was glaring until Yamaguchi nudged him with his knee under the table. “Is something wrong?” Yamaguchi asked in a hushed tone, moving his face a bit closer to Kageyama’s.
“N-no, it’s nothing,” Kageyama flushed a bit and felt somewhat guilty. No matter how much he despised Tsukkishima, he’d never want to do something to jeopardize his relationship with Yamaguchi.
“Well, you look angrier than usual. We can go do something else, if you want—”
“Yamaguchi and I are going to go play some games,” Kageyama announced in as bored of a tone as he could muster. Hinata and Tsukkageyama looked over at him, almost quizzically, but soon Kageyama and Yamaguchi were on their feet and heading towards the game stalls.
“I want to play something too, Ka-ge-ya-ma!” Hinata sang in that same way he’d done multiple times already. Tsukkageyama wondered what it would sound like if Yamaguchi said his name in a singsong way like that. He concluded after a moment that it would sound terrible; he liked the nickname Tsukki all too much.
“Bet I can beat you at the ring toss,” Tsukkageyama decided the most Kageyama-like thing to do would be to induce competition.
“Oh, you’re on!” Hinata laughed, a bright and sunny laugh that reminded him of the way Yamaguchi laughed when it was just the two of them. He sighed and glanced around, catching sight of Yamaguchi playing some sort of rubber duck fishing game with Kageyama, their shoulders bumping. Both of them wore wide smiles.
Tsukkageyama had never taken Yamaguchi to a festival, despite knowing just how much his boyfriend enjoyed the people and the food and the sights. He’d never wanted to put himself willingly into that close of proximity with people for fear that they’d somehow read Tsukki’s mind and know that he was gay, and that he was dating his childhood friend. He wasn’t ashamed of Yamaguchi; he was afraid of admitting to anyone (himself, mostly) that he liked men. He loved Yamaguchi with all of his heart, and he wanted to protect Yamaguchi with his life, but still he found it exceedingly difficult to take Yamaguchi on dates where someone else might figure that out.
Hinata and Tsukkageyama bounded towards the ring toss stall, which was just a few stalls down from where Kageyama and Yamaguchi were. Kageyama stood close to Yamaguchi, and every once in a while Yamaguchi would lean up against him and smile up at him like he was the only person there. Tsukkageyama’s heart clutched and he forced himself to look away. He had gotten used to that look being special, being just for him; but he supposed that meant Kageyama was doing a good job playing the part of him, and that should be a good thing, right? Why did he feel so hurt?
“Hey, Kageyama,” Hinata tugged on Tsukkageyama’s sleeve. Some of his mannerisms secretly made Tsukkageyama wonder if maybe Kageyama was just into petite girls and he couldn’t get a girlfriend with his scary face, so he settled for the next best thing.
“What?” Tsukkageyama snapped back, but judging by the look on Hinata’s face, Kageyama didn’t bark at him like that when they were alone. “Sorry,” he added.
“It’s fine. You just seem a little tenser than usual. Did you not want to spend time with Tsukkishima and Yamaguchi? Because I’m sorry, I spoke without thinking—”
“It’s alright,” Tsukkageyama said quickly.
“Do you think they’re dating?” Hinata followed up in a genuinely thoughtful tone. “I mean, they’re always so close. And Yamaguchi told me one time that Tsukkishima comes and spends the night a lot.”
“That doesn’t automatically mean they’re dating,” Tsukkageyama responded, trying to hide the fear and frustration in his tone.
“Well, yeah, but…” Hinata smiled up at him. “That’s how we got together, isn’t it?”
“I-I guess?” It was genuinely a question; Tsukkageyama had no idea how they got together.
Hinata laughed at the look of confusion on his face and turned his attention to the ring toss game. “Either way, they look happy together. I hope they’re happy.”
That sent Tsukkageyama’s head swirling. What did Hinata mean? Was that supposed to be some sort of joke? Tsukkishima had never taken the time to care about the Shrimp’s happiness before all of this, and up until this point, he hadn’t been planning on caring about it after. How come Hinata cared if he was happy or not? He never paid any attention to Hinata’s happiness, and he was sure Hinata had to know that.
Tsukkageyama must have zoned out, because he was brought back into reality with a swift kick to the back. He winced, and just a few stalls down he saw Kageyama wince, too, then scowl over at Tsukkageyama as if he was the one who had just kicked them in the back. “Earth to Kageyama,” Hinata giggled. “What’s up?”
“It’s nothing,” Tsukkageyama plastered a frown onto his face that he hoped looked similar to Kageyama’s. It must not have been quite right, because Hinata giggled even more.
“Are you sure? You look constipated.”
“Why do you care about m—Tsukkishima’s happiness?” he finally spat. He had to know.
“Oh,” Hinata shrugged. “He’s my teammate. He may be mean and all, but I still care about him. Because if he’s happy he plays volleyball better!” Hinata accentuated this with a pump of his fist to the air. “Besides, if he plays volleyball better, then it’s a real competition of who’s the best middle blocker!”
Tsukkageyama wasn’t sure what he expected, but it wasn’t that. He laughed, then, something he rarely did in his own body. Hinata watched him with a look of confusion. “Why’s that funny?”
“Because it all comes down to volleyball, like always,” Tsukkageyama sighed after he calmed down.
“Well, volleyball is my favorite thing. And that means you’re also my favorite thing by extension,” Hinata nudged into Tsukkageyama playfully, and Tsukkageyama’s face flushed. Yamaguchi said things like this to him, but they were rare and always followed up by a million apologies. However, Hinata was unapologetic and smiling, and he kind of liked that. Tsukkageyama didn’t know how Kageyama responded to these types of things, though, so he just smiled and tossed the rest of his rings at the bottles, missing every single one.
***
The four of them gathered again at a table for dinner. Yamaguchi carried a large chibi flower stuffed animal under his arm that Kageyama must have won for him, and Hinata and Tsukkageyama both had a variety of small, cheap plushies. The conversation flowed much better than it had earlier that day, and Kageyama hated to admit it, but Yamaguchi and Tsukki (inside Kageyama’s body or not) were quite fun to spend time with. He knew Hinata must have been having the same thoughts, because as Tsukkageyama and Hinata parted ways, Hinata exclaimed that “We should do this again soon!” as they walked away.
Once they were gone, Yamaguchi sidled up closer to Kageyama. “I think they’re dating,” he said finally.
“Yeah,” Kageyama mumbled, not entirely processing that wait, Yamaguchi had figured it out. His face flushed when he did have that realization.
“Well, it makes sense,” Yamaguchi shrugged. “They spend like, all their free time together.”
“I guess it does make some sense.” Kageyama inwardly panicked. Were they really that obvious? Did the whole team already know? He had to remind himself how surprised Tsukkageyama had been when he found out, despite having already guessed it.
“Do you want to spend the night? My parents aren’t home.”
Now, Kageyama would do a lot of things to keep them from getting found out—kissing, cuddling, hugging…but he would not lose his virginity to Yamaguchi. “S-sorry, I’ve got some homework to do. Maybe later this week?” He hoped in his suggestion that their bodies would switch back later that week.
“Oh. Yeah,” Yamaguchi plastered a smile on his face. Kageyama could immediately tell he’d upset the boy; he knew the look of a fake-smile all too well from the many times Hinata tried not to act offended when Kageyama said he had to go home after hours of after-school practice.
“I really am sorry,” Kageyama insisted. “Can I walk you home?”
“Yeah, sure.”
***
It had been a few days now that Kageyama and Tsukkishima were trapped in each other’s bodies. The two were getting antsy to find a solution, but so far their only lead they had was the shrine visit from over a month ago. After some feverish Googling, Kageyama and Tsukkageyama found the American film Freaky Friday, which may have been of some help if the two had gone to a cheap Chinese restaurant and gotten strange fortune cookies.
Kageyama had to quadruple check with Tsukkageyama that that didn’t happen. Each time, Tsukkageyama had to remind Kageyama that they didn’t go out to eat with each other. Like, ever.
Their acting slowly improved during volleyball practices to the point that they were acting mostly like themselves again on the court. Tsukkageyama even attempted a freak quick pass, which went well for the most part, except Hinata had to hit it with his left hand. Everyone in the club seemed to be off their trail.
Except for Suga.
Suga waited in the clubroom until Tsukkageyama and Kageyama were the last ones, idly fumbling with his gym bag. Before they could leave, he cleared his throat and put a smile on his face. “Hey, you two,” he chirped, “how about you take a seat?”
The two glanced at each other and swallowed thickly. Neither one of them had the guts to dash out the door and run forever from Suga, so they accepted their defeat and sat on the bench together, heads hung. “Now,” Suga began, “I might not be the smartest person on the team, but there’s a reason I’m called the most observant.”
Shit, Kageyama thought.
“You two are playing some sort of weird game,” Suga still wore his intimidating smile. “You’re acting like each other. Why?”
He doesn’t know, Tsukkageyama thought.
“We switched bodies—”
“We’re practicing for a play—”
The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other in confusion. Suga shook his head. “I can’t understand you with both of you talking at once. One at a time, please.”
“We’re…practicing for a play?”
“Right! A play!”
Suga laughed out loud at this. “Yeah, right. You don’t have time for that,” he waved his hand dismissively. “What was that other thing?”
Kageyama looked at Tsukkageyama nervously. Both of them looked up finally, completely defeated. “We switched bodies,” they said together.
Suga laughed even harder at this – that is, until he noticed that neither of the boys in front of him were laughing. His laughter slowly died. “You…you are joking, right?”
“Sadly, no,” Tsukkageyama replied. “It’s been like this since last Friday.”
“Is that why—”
“Tsukkishima punched me in the face,” Kageyama replied, and Suga was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Tsukkishima had just referred to himself in the third person – no, that was Kageyama, not Tsukkishima.
“Jesus,” he sighed. “I thought you were just playing some stupid prank or something…”
“I wish,” they responded at the same time.
“Quit doing that!” Suga cried. “You’re freaking me out now.”
“Do you know how to help?” Kageyama asked desperately.
Suga tapped his chin in thought. “Have you seen the movie Freaky Friday?” he asked finally.
“We didn’t eat any Chinese food,” Tsukkageyama replied bluntly.
“Well, that’s not exactly what I mean. In the movie, the mom and the daughter don’t switch back until they do something nice for each other and see each other’s points of view. Have you tried that?”
“I’d rather smack our heads together,” Tsukkageyama droned.
“They do that in the movie too,” Kageyama noted. The two seemed all too eager to do that, and Suga had to throw himself between them to keep them from throwing their heads together.
“Bad plan,” Suga huffed as he separated the two. “Okay, we’ll keep this our little secret. Let’s have lunch together again today and we can try to figure it out.”
“Hinata will be upset if I bail again,” Tsukkageyama replied. Kageyama glanced over at him, shocked; some time after their visit to the festival, Tsukkageyama had started caring more about Hinata. He even stopped referring to him as Shrimpy to Kageyama.
“Well then maybe we can try after practice. Tsukki—Kageyama, is that okay with you?” Suga asked.
“I usually walk Yamaguchi home,” he replied, rubbing his neck. Suga groaned.
“This might be a little harder than we thought.”
***
They ended up settling for meeting at Suga’s apartment later that evening. Neither Tsukkageyama nor Kageyama commented on the fact that Suga lived alone; they both supposed they knew next to nothing about their upperclassman. By the time Kageyama arrived after walking Yamaguchi home, Tsukkageyama was already sitting on the floor across from Suga, drinking tea from a colorful mug.
Suga greeted Kageyama with a warm smile and a cup of tea for himself. “Tsukkishima and I were just trying to think of some things that might work,” he said as he led Kageyama into the apartment.
Despite how uncomfortable the atmosphere should have felt, the group spent a great deal of time laughing and joking with each other. It was especially strange when Suga heard Tsukkishima full on laugh the first time; of course, that voice had come from Kageyama, but Tsukkageyama was laughing, too.
They brainstormed for a good, long while, not even bothering about the time despite it being a school night. The best option they could come up with was to see one another’s point of view, like they did in that movie Freaky Friday, but slamming heads together was kept as a back-up option.
The group was startled from their brainstorming session when there was another knock at the door. “Shit,” Suga breathed, still wearing a smile as he pushed himself up and walked to the door. Kageyama and Tsukkageyama heard a muffled noise, then a yelp, then a door slam. “Wrong address!” Suga said quickly as he came back into the room, but neither of them bought it.
A little bit later, they said their good-byes and thanked Suga for everything. He waved them away, saying how he always enjoyed extra company. Tsukkageyama and Kageyama passed by Daichi in the hallway, who was seemingly trying to hide behind a fake plant. It only dawned on Kageyama as he was walking to Tsukkishima’s house what Daichi had been there for, but he tried to shake the thought away and imagined that maybe Daichi was just there to…study. Yeah, study. At around midnight on a school night. Of course.
That evening left him much to think about besides Daichi and Suga’s…study session. He wondered what it meant to see things from Tsukkishima’s point of view. He supposed seeing out of Tsukkishima’s eyes was the ultimate view of his point of view, but obviously that wasn’t the answer. Plus, he was getting antsy. Not being able to set to Hinata was eating away at him, and he felt like he might explode in a heap of jealousy soon if he watched Tsukkageyama set even one more poorly-received toss to Hinata.
The survey will stay up until Sunday to give me an idea of who will be around in the Switched!AU. Thinking about introducing Reincarnated!Caleb as the "guy next door" who will get dirty looks from the guys when you interact with him, and you find Belos constantly stalking him.
After dealing with a massive plumbing emergency today and passing out after it was fixed from the heavy anxiety and fatigue it caused, I'm going to be disinfecting everything so I will be around if anyone wants to drop asks XD Got some Bailey's coffee in me, so I'm awake 8U
We can even talk about the whole fangs thing DDV dropped for Philip/Belos while I was fretting over how much the bill was going to be =_= I just wish I could get Belos looking semi-decent and that DDV would give us "tattoos" in a sense.
Oh, and I did turn replies off for posts, mainly because I tend to overlook them, and I forgot that they come with character limits -_- For someone like me who can get carried away with writing, that's a curse XD I left anon on the asks tho so don't be afraid to drop a line 8D I don't bite... hard |D
Levi in my au was suddenly had to take up the mantle of the secondborn. He saw how badly Lucifer took Mammon's betrayal and couldn't bear to be a dissapontment.
There's a step between Lucifer's and Mammon's power levels. But Leviathan was like staircase behind Mammon. It caused him to develop a huge imposter syndrom. He feels like he fakes everything in his life.
To copmensate for that he trains a lot. This Levi actually has some logically explained abs! He's much stronger than og Levi too.
Takes care of a lot of Lucifer's paperwork. The two are rather close. But there's a LOT of guilt between them.
Never lost his first Henry. The snake still can transform into a giant monster, but Levi keeps him small for cuddles sake.
Still an otaku. Has zero pride about it tho. Would drop this "unfitting" hobby if it wasn't the only thing keeping him together.
Thinks he hides it pretty well but the whole House knows. They pretend to be unaware for his pride sake. The brothers will also kill anyone who may find out.
Levi shared his hobby only with Simeon. They spend hours together, talking about different anime and the certain tale.
Simeon dotes on Levi a lot. He really thinks Levi could use more friends. Maybe that's why he told Val to keep the keychain they found...
He doesn't hate Mammon. He just... there are a lot of feelings he left lurking in the depth of his heart. The boy needs a good cry, a friend and his brother back.
Idk if you do much of these anymore but for old times sake, how would the yanderes handle a period cramp simulator? Whos crying on the ground and whos doing just fine?
Also got inspired by this funny lil doo dad https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSjNMEwAd/
I will tell you right now, NONE of them are doing "just fine". A better gauge is to see who lasts the longest and who has the best poker face until it becomes too much >XD Now imagine the Switched!AU where you have to deal with all of them under one roof and decide to get this thing just for the hell of it or to settle the debate of what is worse: A kick in the balls or period cramps.
Of course, the initial reaction for all of them is falling to their knees or out of their chairs in tears and agony and the debate is never brought up again. In fact, if the reader does go through a monthly, you do see a shift in the guys' behaviors as they now know what the hell you're going through.
HOWEVER, a challenge is issued that whoever can stand it the longest without ripping the pads off, gets to go on a trip that you have to go on for whatever reason as your plus 1. This was brought up because the moment the trip came up, a huge argument broke out over who got to go with you.
Worst poker face: Adrian. This man is trying his damnedest to make those around him believe it's "nothing" and that he can withstand it the most, unaware that he's actually bawling.
Best poker face: Toss up between Alador and Belos, but they aren't perfect. You can tell by how tense they are that they are in major pain. Alador says being married to Odalia hurt worse, which causes Darius to nearly die of hysterical laughter cuz he JUST had the damn thing on him. Belos just stares off with a slight eye twitch but won't speak at all. If he is forced to speak, he snaps and snarls out responses.
Can last long without being sabotaged: Belos, Darius, Alador, and Steve, but you damn well know anyone who doesn't have the machine on them is going to fuck with the person who does to make sure they fail, especially those who can't keep it on for more than five minutes (Bump, Adrian, Steve) XD
Bonus: Jacob can't last more than a minute but STILL insists that it's "nowhere near as bad" because he refuses to admit it hurts XD
