You are the closest thing Atsumu's ever had to a best friend, Osamu knows. His brother's faults were often so visible to other kids that it drove them away. Not you though. You simply laughed and called Atsumu a jerk. The rest is history.
Osamu watches from his place on the bench as Atsumu sets up for a spike serve, six steps, the toss, the jump and--
"Don't fuck it up!" Your voice jeers.
Atsumu misses, spectacularly. The ball ricochets off the back wall with a stellar thwump that rings a brief silence into the gym. Osamu sees his brother spin around, a vein in his neck throbbing as he starts to unload on you.
"YOU MOTHERF—"
"Imagine not getting the service ace because the opposite team heckles you!" You cut him off with a jovial smile. "How lame would that be?"
"YOU SCRUB! GET OVER HERE. I'LL KILL YA!"
And off the two of you go, shrieking insults at each other. Osamu makes no move to get out of his seat. Not for the first time, he considers how this strange game of tag could be its own spectator sport. Suna sits next to him, the middle blocker's eyes flitting to the current source of entertainment.
"Not gonna record this shit?"
"No, s'not nearly as entertaining as watching the two of you beat up on each other." Atsumu manages to trap you in a headlock, driving his knuckles into your scalp for a noogie as you kick at his legs. "How long have they been together anyhow?" The question is asked so flippantly, Osamu almost misses it.
"Hah? They're not datin', Suna." That's right. The two of you aren't dating. Not once had Atsumu ever expressed that kind of interest in you, and the same seems to be true in reverse. No longing stares. No pining.
"That so? Could have sworn they were." Suna glances over, his usual apathetic expression almost perfectly in place. However, Rintaro Suna is the closest thing Osamu has to a best friend.
Osamu's mouth goes dry. "Drop it, Sunarin."
Suna holds his stare for another beat before turning away. "You deserve to have what you want, Samu."
"I mean it."
"So do I."
Osamu fights to keep his face in check, fights to restrain himself like always. To hold back just enough so that he doesn't lose his temper. It should be easier by now, to suffer the pointed remarks Suna makes with grace. However, Suna had been the one to witness the smallest of exchanges between Osamu and you. And then, the motherfucker had managed to put two and two together. So here Osamu sits, watching his brother horseplay with you.
You. The one person he could trust Atsumu with, the one person who would be so good for him to fall for... is the same person who crashed through Osamu's walls and took a seat within the inner sanctum of his affections.
Osamu Miya is in love with his brother's best friend and Atsumu would never forgive him for it if he found out.

Ok but 🤭 what if… (now stay with me, I know this is gonna be a reach ok? And maybe this is debunked somewhere in canon and I just missed the scene) what if Christopher doesn’t know Bucks name is Evan. He’s just a kid right? It’s not like he’s around for formal things where it would EVER come up. And I know he’s a teen now but let’s just say for shits and giggles it has just NEVER come up.
Buck tells him about Tommy, and Chris is stoked because these are the two coolest people he knows next to his dad and they are dating?! This is awesome!!
Until the next time he sees Tommy which just so happens to be because Tommy tagged along while Buck is watching Christopher for Eddie and he overhears Tommy on the phone with… idk Chimney while Bucks in the bathroom or wherever… stay with me.
“Yeah, I can’t wait to take Evan there on our date next week…”
And like.. what the heck, Tommy?! Chris can’t even believe what he’s hearing… how dare this man cheat on his Buck?! Is he insane?! Buck is amazing and he just looks so happy with Tommy. He is gonna be crushed!
And then he has the audacity to quickly end the call with a whisper of you heard nothing to Christopher when Buck comes back.
Christopher is fuming but he has to bite his tongue until his dad gets back and they leave— and then it quickly turns into a very heated Christopher pacing back and forth in the living room in front of Eddie (who is seated on the couch and doesn’t know whether he’s about to laugh at the misunderstanding or cry at how much Chris loves Buck)
Eddie does his best to explain things earning him an exasperated “What do you mean his real name isn’t Buck?!”
And at least now they aren’t having to plan a hit on Tommy… plus this is going to make for a hilarious dinner story their next shift…
(This got away from me and maybe it will become an actual one shot later, but I just think it would be a hilariously adorable misunderstanding)

Loser, Bambi
A radiostar/radioapple/duckiedeer rewrite of loser, baby (as an aroace myself, this is platonic, I think it'd be hilarious to their dynamic) (set after the finale, and let my delusional heart believe alastor cares deep deep deep down)
Lucifer: So things look bad and your back's against the wall
Your whole existence hangs in the balance
You're feeling panicked like you heard the hunter's call
Can't face the world without you malice
You've lost your way, your reputations wrecked
Well me just say, (scoffing) what'd you expect?
Alastor: Excuse me?
Lucifer: You're a loser, bambi
A loser goddamn baby
You're a fucked up little whiny bitch
Alastor: Now listen here
Lucifer: You're a loser, unlike me
Alastor: What a surprise
Lucifer: You've amused hell's ruler
If only your shtick was newer
You're an overlord gone overboard
But you've got company
Alastor: *staticy boo track*
Lucifer: There was a time I thought no one could relate
To the holy things that I cant let go
But lettin' walls down, it can sometimes set you straight!
Can't let the hotels progress plateau
Alastor: I must admit, that I seem to've grown to care
Lucifer: You aren't the only one with his soul bare
Get outta here man
We're both losers, bambi
We're losers, it's okay to be a-
Alastor: Psychopathic radio?
Lucifer (out of tune with the song): eeughhhhh…
Alastor: *snickers*
Alastor: I'm a loser deary
To admit it is quite dreary
But at least I know I'm not alone
Lucifer: You're a loser
Both: Just like me
*tune change*
Lucifer: I've got a habit of creation
Alastor: I've got a knack for devastation, of every lowly sinner I can find
Lucifer: You know what Charlie thinks of that, come on
Alastor: I helped fulfil all of her dreaming
Lucifer: I'm making sure I'm never leaving
Now that I'm back in her life
Both: I will protect her from all ill meaning
Alastor: You're a loser, Luci
Lucifer: A loser, but just maybe if we
Both: Eat shit together, things will end up differently
Lucifer: It's time to lose some of that loathin'
Lower your mask, let hope in, bambi
Play your card, be who you are
Both: A loser, just like-
Charlie: There they are! They're fucking singing???

The fact that Yuan was in Lili's room when Qian found the ultrasound meant that Lili asked for help from her brother to protect her boyfriend from...her brother.
And the fact that she knew that their best chance to convince Qian and make sure that he doesn't kill San Pang is to get Yuan involved. To tell Qian on their terms before he can find out for himself. Since it didn't go to well when Qian found out about their relationship and Yuan just sat there and did nothing (god bless him that's still my favorite scene). Qian was mad for a looooong time after finding out about their relationship.
Getting Yuan involved and also setting it up so Qian finds out while they're all in a relatively safe space but together while still telling him and not keeping things from him meant that Qian didn't stay angry for long. It also helped because as much as Yuan loves Qian romantically, he loves Lili as his sister. He is also protective of her but he's much more reasonable about it because he doesn't have the same family trauma that Qian has. Yuan can help smooth things over not just because Qian loves him and listens to him but because Yuan loves Lili and sees what makes her happy and wants the best for her.
This show is so good and I love the romance of it all but I just had to say something about how much I loved the siblingship between Yuan and Lili. Lili let Yuan into that home and in doing so gave herself something more than just a brother. She gave herself a friend that would help when she needed help and would love and support both her and Qian unconditionally.
