[houseofstarlight]

hi, may i request a match—up for haikyuu, please? ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤlong romantic match—up regarding reasons why you chose that character, relationship tropes and headcanons. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤmy pronouns are she / her / they / them and i'd prefer male characters. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤfor characters i don't want, probably the karasuno and nekoma team as i can only see them platonically. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤi'm a quiet and reserved person in general, introverted but not shy. i've been told i'm intelligent and soft spoken, though i come off as intimidating, nonchalant or unapproachable at times, i'm more of a black cat energy. i do have issues like being too detached / ghosting relationships at times, though but that's out of a need for time alone and space. i'm sarcastic, but i do have dry humor. i'm not a very romantic person but i am deeply caring. i tend to mind my own business and never judge anyone at all, and am not involved in other people's lives much unless they are very close to me. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤmy ideal partner would be someone lighthearted but not chaotic, just a very grounded person. kind, gentlemanly with politeness and good manners. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤmy love languages are words of affirmation (giving) and acts of service (receiving.) i'm used to giving reassurance, listening to others. little things like taking care of me when i'm sick, buying groceries together and more domestic caring gestures make my heart melt. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤmy hobbies would be reading classic lit but i enjoy web novels like orv too, sleeping, watching old films, i don't know if smoking counts, photography, listening to music, chess, going on late night walks, writing, cleaning, and mostly boring things like that which i have come to enjoy. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤother miscellanous details, i'm an intj. i'm not very physically strong and get tired easily, i don't have much energy or stamina. i have medium length black hair if that's relevant, and i'm really bad at arts and crafts, sports, etc. i like being organised, but i am a messy person who's good at planning, managing things, etc. ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤthank you so much for your time, i tried to make this very detailed so you'd have a lot of things to analyse and write on. i appreciate the effort, hope you have a good day :) ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ‎‎‎‎ㅤㅤ— 🚬 or 🐈‍⬛ anon, whichever's available

MATCHED WITH KITA SHINSUKE (^▽^)

if you would like a matchup for yourself, please read the guidelines here!

why i chose this character

“i tend to mind my own business and never judge anyone at all, and am not involved in other people’s lives much unless they are very close to me”

— ➴ kita does the same thing! he’s very focused on his own life and keeps his nose out of other people’s business

— ➴ (which is honestly the best way to live, consider me jealous that i can’t do the same)

— ➴ i can’t see either of you with a partner who’s very social and outgoing; this way you can match each other’s energy

“a very grounded person. kind, gentlemanly with politeness and good manners”

— ➴ this description of your ideal partner fits kita very well!

— ➴ kita is definitely grounded and practical, and he’s just an all-around good kid, like “the neighbor’s kid”

— ➴ he’s the kind of guy you’re actually excited to bring back home to your parents because you know they’ll approve of him

“acts of service (receiving)”

— ➴ kita’s giving love language is 100% acts of service

— ➴ *gives atsumu a freaking care basket after yelling at him to go home* 😭

— ➴ see below!

“little things like taking care of me when i’m sick, buying groceries together and more domestic caring gestures make my heart melt”

— ➴ kita would do all of these things and more! it would come so naturally to him as a caretaker

“reading classic lit […] chess, going on late night walks”

— ➴ i feel like kita would enjoy these hobbies too

headcanons

— ➴ you and kita are pretty similar, both with your black cat energy that can scare away people sometimes! but deep down you’re lovely softies

— ➴ when he notices you’ve been having a bad day, he’ll go out of his way to cook you your favorite dinner (but he’d do this every day, let’s be real) and help you out around the house

— ➴ even though he’s exhausted every day from working hard on the farm, he does his chores diligently to help you out too

— ➴ he would do the little things to make your life easier. he’s not looking for any credit or appreciation—per his own words, he does’t need applause, he just does what he does

— ➴ he’s not one for huge romantic gestures or proclamations of love, but you know he’ll always be the rock under your feet

— ➴ shared, comfortable silences are common between you two; i’d imagine you guys met in like a crowded room and he just came to sit next to you and you were silent together 😭

— ➴ you guys really like to go grocery shopping together! it’s a soothing, steady part of your domestic life and it’s like your weekend tradition. kita always buys you your favorite snacks!

— ➴ sunday mornings are slow, which is even more special because kita is usually up before the sun is. on sundays you can sit together at the breakfast table and sip coffee and read together

— ➴ i feel like kita would like stargazing since it’s so relaxing. he usually goes to bed by ten pm though

tropes

— ➴ black cat x black cat (you’re only soft to each other)

— ➴ “i can do it myself” x “but let me help you anyway”

a/n: hi 🚬anon! thank you for your request and i hope you enjoyed your matchup, so sorry about the long wait!!

[houseofstarlight]

oh you play volleyball? fun!

yeah! well i don’t do it anymore since season is over, i’m coaching guys volleyball rn and hopefully i can play some in college

[houseofstarlight]

Hi, I’m Rhea! Your blog is sooo pretty <3

the way i thought this exact same thing about your blog?? the color scheme is actually eating

[houseofstarlight]

omg on the topic of ap exams yk when i was taking them last year i used to imagine being academic rivals with tooru and then taking exams and then discussing afterward and bickering over things

very fun to think about

omggg that would be cool but unfortunately i’m not smart enough to be anyone’s academic rival 😭 i’ll settle for being a fellow setter

[houseofstarlight]

omg this is so sweet nova 😭 thank you so much

oikawa tooru x reader

1.2k, tiny bit of angst and fluff at the end

throughout your entire, nearly two-year relationship with oikawa tooru, you had always been the mature one. oikawa was childish, insecure, and easily jealous. he suggested breaking up pretty much every week. you didn’t text him “good morning” back? let’s break up. you didn’t wear his jersey to the practice match against his demon underclassman? let’s break up. you ran away from him when he serenaded you in the courtyard at lunch? oh, you really messed up there.

but this was different. the laughter and love that usually surrounded you two was missing. anyone could see it.

“i won’t change my mind, you know,” he says presently, folding his arms across his chest, but his face is devoid of the pout that is usually there when he crosses his arms. “i’m going to argentina. coach blanco is there.”

you rub your temples, exhausted. you get tooru, really. his childhood hero, the player who inspired him to become a setter in the first place. of course he would want to go. but argentina! it was practically a world away from japan. how many couples who try long distance actually end up working out? you and tooru had already argued about this so much; you didn’t want this conversation to end in more tears.

you can’t do this. not now. not today. you stand up, pushing aside your half-drunk coffee. “i gotta go, tooru. i’ll text you later.”

“y/n—” he begins, but you ignore him, slinging your backpack over your shoulder and making your way out of the coffee shop. that cafe had been your favorite date spot as a couple. would you ever go there together again? you can’t leave japan. tooru is set on going to argentina. you had always known that graduation would test your relationship; so many high school couples break up once graduation season rolls around. you had originally thought that it was the graduation itself that caused couples to split. but maybe graduation was just the trigger for those who weren’t right for each other to separate.

these thoughts and more overwhelm you, until tears are blurring your vision. you blink them away, not looking back at tooru. you don’t see him drink the rest of your coffee, making a face because there isn’t enough sugar in it for him.

☁️·̩͙✧

later that night, you’re lying on your bed. you can’t sleep, even though your clock is ticking past two in the morning.

“y/n.”

you flinch, sitting up.

it’s tooru, sitting at your open window. you stifle a gasp. he smiles at you, tilts his head, closes his eyes. playful and happy, like he has no worries in the world. you practically jump out of bed, desperate to just hug him.

he disappears. poof. he’s just not there anymore. you had been so desperate to see your tooru that you had flat-out hallucinated him. dejected and embarrassed, you turn around.

there he is again! on your bed. you reach for him again, but he dissolves before you can make contact.

you clench your fists, feeling a lump in your throat. where had everything gone wrong between you? you had originally thought your relationship could withstand anything. hell, if it could survive oikawa’s fans, it was practically invincible. or so you thought. there’s tingles going up your spine, an uncomfortable sinking feeling in your stomach. you reach for your phone, half-dazed. you scroll to the familiar contact name. would he even answer? it’s late.

you hesitate. when times between you and tooru had been tough, he had always stepped in, usually by knocking your boyfriend over the head a few times. you hadn’t been close with him before dating tooru, but he had quickly grown into a good friend, almost like a brother. he was probably the one person you could trust with this. he would answer.

before you can think about it too much, you press the call button.

☁️·̩͙✧

you save tooru his favorite seat by the window. you hoped he would show. he’s never left you hanging before. but there’s been a rift between you recently. one that you’re not sure if you can patch up. nervously, you run your fingers over the creases in the folded papers you had brought with you. the waitress brings you your coffee. you thank her. take a sip. tooru would think it’s too bitter, you think automatically.

he arrives maybe fifteen minutes later, sweaty and flushed from practice. he hesitates—normally he’d greet you with a kiss, but things have been anything but normal between you two. you slide him his drink, which you had ordered before he got here. he thanks you, with a ghost of a smile.

you clear your throat. “i’ll go first.”

“i’ll go first,” he argues, and you nearly laugh with relief because his voice has that familiar whiny tone to it now.

“fine.”

he clears his throat, drumming his fingers on the table nervously. he doesn’t look at you. “so i was thinking ... you’re alright. i could give you a chance. japan’s pretty good, even if i’d have to play with that bastard ushiwaka. so i might ... maybe ... consider staying in japan for the time being.”

you turn to look at him so fast you think you get whiplash. he quickly looks at you too. “just for a little while though. if there’s anything i don’t like” — he glares at you, so you know he’s talking about you — “i’ll be out of here so fast you’d think i’m a rocket.”

you clear your throat, barreling into your prepared speech. “i’ve thought about it too,” you say. “every relationship goes through challenges. maybe this is life’s way of testing us. so instead of us bouncing back and forth without a decision, let’s let destiny choose for us.”

he narrows his eyes at you. “what are you talking about?”

you slide the two pieces of folded paper over to him. “japan or argentina. whichever one you draw is where we’ll go, no backing out. if you dare.”

he glares at you. “what’s there to be scared of?” he picks his paper.

“hello? y/n, it’s so late. what’s up?”

“i’m sorry to bother you, hajime. i think i need help.” you hear him yawn on the other line. “did i wake you?”

“no, no, it’s okay. is it the thing with shittykawa going to argentina?”

“...yeah.”

tooru unfolds the piece of paper. there in big, black writing, your writing: ARGENTINA.

you wince, sighing deeply as you shake your head. “damn it. argentina. oh, what’ll i do?” you whine, burying your face in your hands. “i can’t afford a car or an apartment. it’s tedious to apply to universities there. it’s hard to find a good job. i don’t like the food, and i can’t speak the language.”

from the corner of your eye, you see tooru frown. he picks up the other piece of paper and unfolds it.

“you’re a good person, y/n. you love tooru. and he loves you. but your relationship is between you two. your soulmate is the one who’ll be with you at the end. you don’t have to consider anything else. just think about whether or not tooru is the right one for you.”

you watch tooru carefully for his reaction as he sets the second paper down. you had written with your best pens, taking care to make the words larger than normal.

I LOVE YOU.

oh hey i was wondering where you went! i hope you’re well <3

hi nova! i’m honestly doing great, today was a super productive day and i’m proud of myself! how are you?

[houseofstarlight]

i always wondered why i could see a private account’s story if an account i follow reposted that story. i used to think i gained the system. it was only until just now that i realized you have to go public to tag an account that doesn’t follow you ☠️

[houseofstarlight]

NOT THE TOILET I’M DYING

you never hated volleyball—how could you, when it had the ability to light up tooru’s eyes like that? you just wondered if he could ever look at you the same way. you figured no, but damn how you wished he could.

it happens on a rainy night in miyagi, long after he’s left you and the country. by now, you have learned how to live without his name constantly floating through your mind. and now he shows up on your doorstep in a soaked hoodie and with a tired smile.

“did you mean it?” he asks as soon as you open the door, voice cracking like it did when he was still seventeen. “that i loved the game more than you?”

you look at him closely. he’s older now, a little slower, a little softer. and maybe for the first time, you don’t want him to apologize. you just want him to stay.

but of course, he never does.

[houseofstarlight]
