All that was said about Tanaka Ryunosuke was that he was one, completely insane, and two, assumably the only straight person on the Karasuno boys volleyball team. Even Tsukishima, the tall and lanky blond middle blocker known for his pure saltiness, was a pansexual person currently crushing on their pinch server, Yamaguchi. Every member had come out as either gay, bisexual, or pansexual by the end of their first year, besides Tanaka. However, things are not always what they seem.
On the day of March 14 of Tanaka's second year of high school, all seemed gay and normal. Most of the team decided screw practice, we're going off on dates, and so Tanaka mostly had the club room to himself. The only other person in the room with him was Ennoshita Chikara, a wing spiker who many assumed was going to be the next captain.
"Do you have any plans?" said Tanaka. Ennoshita knew the question was directed at him, as he was the only other person in the room.
"Nope. I thought there was practice today, but the only two people in there are Daichi and Suga, and you might not want to go in there…" Earlier, Ennoshita had ventured to the gym and witnessed something he likely should not have, and simply noped his way right back out the door. He made it very clear to Tanaka that the gym was going to be occupied for a while. "Do you have any plans?"
"Nope. Just like last year, and the year before that, and the one before that."
Tanaka gathered his possessions and put them in his bag, then sat down on one of the few chairs in the room.
"Remember before the inter-high prelims when I said I really wanted a girlfriend? For motivational purposes, you know," asked Tanaka.
Ennoshita flashed back to that one time in the club room when Tanaka had acted out a scene with an imaginary girlfriend, and how much a girlfriend would have boosted his gameplay morale. He shuddered. "Yes, yes I do. I don't want to, but I sure as hell do."
Tanaka looked up at him. "I've had a change of heart," he said.
Oh? Thought Ennoshita. Is he actually giving up on having a girlfriend?
"It's going to come off as a little odd, knowing the context." Tanaka continued. Ennoshita waited for Tanaka to declare his broken heart.
"Ennoshita Chikara, will you be my boyfriend?"
Ennoshita almost stumbled back at the statement. He kept himself balanced long enough to say "Excuse me" and step outside.
Tanaka heard a series of screams in varying pitches. Some were like after they won a game, some were pitched with fear, and others expressed as though a bomb had gone off.
Ennoshita entered the club room again, completely unfazed by the fact that he had just screamed like someone was murdered. Tanaka looked at him in fear.
"So is that a no?" asked Tanaka.
Ennoshita simply smiled and said, "Of course not! It's a yes!" He launched himself at Tanaka, and they fell to the hard floor with a thud.
The sheer expression that which plagued Sawamura Daichi's face when he entered the club room to find Tanaka Ryunosuke, the most straight and insane person on his team and most likely Karasuno's next ace, and Ennoshita Chikara, the most likely candidate for Karasuno's next captain, lying on the floor, hearts to hearts and lips to lips, tangled up in each other and love, can only be described as absolutely shook beyond the moon.
And that is all that was said.
