"I like you... in a romantic way," bokuto blushes, hand coming up to rub the back of his neck. "actually," he chuckles, "I think I'm in love with you—is that too much?"

akaashi just stands there, trying his hardest not to laugh, but it's hard. he wants to play nice.

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION]
I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
Do the right thing.

I bet Kenma turning 30 is a HUGE deal, not only his fans. Brands and gaming companies and even celebrities talk about it. Pop culture sites/magazines publish retrospectives of Kenma's career and the small amount of info they have on his personal life. +

// I just made this up on the fly so it's not great 😅 But I really wanted to write a story for Kenma's big day! Also, I'll be out of town until next Tuesday, so I wanted to finish and post something before I leave. Please COMMENT and REPOST if you enjoyed! —Mari 💕

He closes his eyes. "Love you," he breathes.

"Love you too. Happy Birthday, baby."

After the event wraps up and Kenma has sufficiently maxed out socially, he snuggles into Kuroo in the backseat of their ride home. Kuroo kisses the top of his head. Directs the driver to Kenma's house.

Kenma smiles into the man's suit jacket. +

just enough contact to lend him some warmth.

Eventually Kenma is urged up onto a platform and sung Happy Birthday to by the guests. Cameras flash. People cheer. Kenma wonders how on earth he got so lucky. +

But he isn't complaining. Kenma still gets overwhelmed, even at 30, by crowds and attention. His boyfriend's presence calms him. Keeps him grounded. Whenever he starts feeling anxious, Kuroo immediately notices. He casually slides an arm around Kenma's shoulders or waist, +

Of course, Kuroo is with him the whole night. Like arm candy. The tall JVA promotor fetches him drinks, charms the guests and doesn't pass up any opportunity to do his own networking too. Kenma rolls his eyes. None of them know how much of a nerd Kuroo really is. +

and of course a bunch of volleyball players. It becomes the event of the fall, and raises TONS of money for an organization that supports mental health for youth.

Kenma shows up in style, dressed way fancier than usual. He wears a fitted maroon suit, hair pulled up halfway. +

His marketing team at Bouncing Ball suggests he has a huge party in Tokyo to draw more attention to his channel/brand.

Instead Kenma decides to do a charity event. He invites people in the gaming community, some entertainers he likes, +
