An introspection of #kagehina love language:

(thread)

I could talk abt this endlessly & end up bringing the entirety of #haikyuu manga, so I'll pick 2 scenes each frm Hinata's & Kageyama's POV to talk abt why the way they communicate with each other (or don't) is special
Kageyama is an introvert who also finds it difficult to not only communicate his own feelings but also to understand & interpret what someone else is telling him. Not only does it need to be laid out to him word by word sometimes, but also in a way that the meaning reaches him.
"I'm here" - these words cure not only Kageyama's trauma & fear of his spiker not being there to spike his tosses, but they also calm his heart. He can't win alone in volleyball, bt the same goes for his spikers too.

But was it easy? For the words to reach Kageyama?
Hinata has been yelling "I'm here", "I'm here too!" for quite a while until it truly reaches him. Kageyama acts how he perceives the world - actions speak louder than words. Hinata is the man of action who can speak to his heart.
Hinata can also lay it out to him word by word, in detail when Kageyama needed it the most, but that was only possible because Hinata could understand Kageyama without the need for words, straight from his actions.
But how is it special for Hinata "The King of Communication" with how Kageyama communicates with him?

Hinata is someone who can make friends with anyone he wants & has a very good emotional intelligence that allows him to perceive & communicate even with difficult candidates
He knows the right words to pick to resonante deeply with anyone he is speaking to.

But that's precisely why he can conceal his true feelings & expertly lie through situations when he wants to.
But Kageyama.. He sees Hinata & understands him for what he truly is. Beyond the surface, beyond the words, he can see into Hinata's heart & mind, what his true emotions were. His observation of the world might be his own, but what he observes in Hinata is who Hinata truly is.
He is always observing Hinata. Always. And he is capable of understands what Hinata truly feels, & right from the start.
And as time goes by, he gets even better at reading Hinata.

How else do you explain Kageyama understanding & picking up the nuances in his emotions even before Hinata can understand himself.
Imagine having someone who can exactly understand you & tell you. Imagine someone who exists who can see the real you, through the thick & thin, past the fluff & tuff.. Someone who sees you for exactly who you are. Who understands what you say, what you feel, what you think.
When you can have someone like that in your life.... When you can have such familiarity, such comfort, such understanding. Who the hell needs romance?

But it sure is a great bonus. The best bonus.

Where normal humans vibe with each other.. they resonate.
They are the very embodiment of the 阿吽の呼吸 (aun no kokyu) that Furudate mentions in the manga referring to Iwaizumi & Oikawa. From the moment they met, perhaps even before that. It's also probably why the crossing of their paths was inevitable.
This is one of the reasons I stan Kagehina. Why do you stan Kagehina? If you already do, list your reasons, we shall bask in their glory together. We will vibe in their resonance.
