Chapter 6 - A little bit of both
Summary: The pace picks up and the puzzle of the past begins to unfold.

Hanamaki rarely thinks about what he does, it has always been like that. He is simply an instinct kind of guy.
What he says, what he does, it all follows the impulse his guts give him. Even in court, he never starts a trial with a plan. He likes to see how the mood swings and then just go with the flow, steer his boat into the current that will get him closest to his goals.
That is how he has managed to earn an outstanding reputation as a lawyer, how he never disappoints and never gets disappointed. If you don’t have a fix goal, you can’t miss it!
Especially in his youth, people have criticized him for lacking both spine and motivation and to be totally honest: They were right.
Takahiro isn’t ambitious, he isn’t high-flying and he certainly isn’t pretentious. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be sharp, intelligent or determined.
In fact, he is very determined right now!
“Come on”, he grunts out, putting all his bodyweight into the push.
“This tickles”, Iwaizumi smirks, that arrogant ashole.
“Fu.. fuck you, Hajime”
“Are you even trying?”
Hanamaki chooses not to spit into his face and rather concentrate on breathing.
“This is ridiculous”, he can’t help but whine all but a minute later.
“God, I am getting so horny”, Oikawa has the nerve to bite down on his knuckles. Suga gracefully decides to put his hand over their friends eyes.
“Then think of something gross”, he informs him.
“Like what?”
“Dead animals? How your bleach rails smell in the morning?”, Issei offers and gives his pan an expert swing. The onions fizzle and Hanamaki has to gag.
“Please just shut up”, he whimpers, the muscles in his biceps about to burst. He is going to leave one hell of a gorry splatter on Issei’s couch.
“Then hurry and get this over with, Wok is almost done”, his partner calls over.
“With tuna?”, Iwaizumi turns his head towards the kitchen.
“Yes”
“Fuck yeah”, and with his face brightening up like a six year old’s, who has just been given permission to have unlimited candy for an entire week, Iwaizumi slams his hand into the table, like Hanamaki, putting all his effort into fending him off, isn’t even there and declares: “I’m starving!”
Takahiro groans and collapses over his weak and sore arm.
Yes, he follows his instinct but that by no means equals being calm and structured, like some people assume. No, most of the times it gets him into stupid, messy and fucking glorious situations. Like not being able to beat his friend at armwrestling in over 16 years and still not being able to give it up.

Introducing Charly Lee, our writing and spot art contributor!
⇝ @charlythelee
Hi, I'm Charly, I'm a writer, backpacker and eternal procrastinator ~ What I love the most about Spy x Family is the way how it addresses serious and emotional topics while also just being an absolute joy ✨
Exerpt from "A Matter of Faith":
"I think it could have gone worse," Ennoshita contributes, as he sits down in his spot. "How?" Kinoshita asks, scratching the back of his head. "Well, at the very least it is vaguely human and we could all agree on the spot, that it's Daichi-San," the dark-haired muses. "Thanks for nothing," Daichi deadpans in response.

Seijoh 4 + KageHina | Haikyu!! | Timeskip (Olympics) | Rated: G | 2.5k words
Hajime knows he says and thinks this a lot, but this time he truly, deeply and sincerely means it: He’s done. Like done done. “So just to make sure I understand this correctly,” he takes a deep breath while just barely resisting the urge to smash his head through the next best wall, “you finally fulfilled your lifelong dream of winning Olympic gold, and the best thing you could think of doing with your medal was to put it by the wide open window, where a bird flew in… and stole it?” “... … … Yes,” Oikawa grits through grinding teeth, eyes set firmly on a point somewhere above his shoulder.
I was so so SO thrilled to be able to contribute to the @hqanimalzine "Gone Wild" last year and, as is custom with my Seijoh 4 fics, it turned out to be absolute chaos 🤣
