Old Rice

Osamu Miya x Fem!Reader angst

Warnings, cheating, angst with no comfort

Synopsis: You can feel your relationship slip away from your fingers as he stays late at work more with a new distraction.

The apartment felt so empty, laying on the couch as the TV plays a random game show. You check the clock to see if it was time to head to bed. It was. But you couldn’t help but stay in your spot, waiting a few more minutes wouldn’t hurt, right? Osamu would have been upset if he knew.

Your eyes turn back to the glowing TV, an empty laugh erupts from your mouth as another contestant gets eliminated in a cartoonish way. The hosts commentary was interrupted by familiar sound. Your eyes darted down to the source.

Buzz

Without checking, you felt your body grow cold and your stomach growing the same uneasy feeling again. Your arm hesitate to reach your phone on the coffee table, you knew it was gonna be the same dreaded text. Unlocking your phone wasn’t necessary to see the message.

9:47pm

Oso💕 - Inventory is taking long, I’ll be late tn

Oso💕 - Sorry, I’ll make it up to you

A hum left your lips as your eyes glazed over the screen again. This would be the fourth night he had stayed back in the shop for inventory instead of coming home. The tenth time in the last month. Laying back down on the couch while propping up your phone in your hands, swiping up to check the last few texts between you two. They felt so empty, almost like they were automated messages from you both. You both stopped asking about each other’s days a long time ago.

You grabbed the remote and turned the TV off, the sudden darkness didn’t surprise you. Careful to get up and walk out to the kitchen, flicking the switch on to look for something to eat before heading to bed. The wooden floors creaked under your feet as you open the fridge, it used to be full of prepped meals and snacks that slowly disappeared as Osamu stopped spending time at home. He used to experiment new onigri flavors in your shared kitchen where you would sneak bites and give feedback. But now he opted to use his professional kitchen at the shop.

The kitchen used to be a place where you two would eat and laugh together, mornings spent trying to surprise the other with a breakfast in bed, late night snacking, or holding each other while whispering nonsense. It was marked with photos and trinkets but now felt more lonely than ever.

The last container was tucked into the back of the fridge, reaching for it. You could make out what it contained, and your guess was correct. It was two neatly packed onigris Osamu left, they were pickled plums. You thought it would be nice to heat them up, something warm to enjoy before going to sleep. You place the container into the microwave for a minute, the loud hum of the microwave echos through the mostly empty kitchen.

Leaning against the counter while staring at the floor, you wondered what happened that lead to this, and if there was a way to fix it. Is there something that could be fixed? Is this worth fixing now? You used to spend so much time together and now it faded away. Those precious memories were slowly becoming a thing of your past. Your head couldn’t wrap around it, you spent almost three years with what you thought was the man of your dreams but now he felt more like a stranger. Lovers turn roommates.

You missed his touch, his scent, his warmth.

Yet it was harder to ignore the second lingering scent on his clothes, the smudges of pink lip gloss on the collars of his shirts, the way you saw him hug her through the window of his restaurant. He looked same as the day you had accepted his confession, so happy with that gleam of adoration in his eyes. However it wasn’t for you this time.

The microwave timer pulled you out of your dazed state, you turn back and pulled out the container. The rice had dried out and burned on the edges. You knew it was inedible even before putting it in the microwave, yet you didn’t want to throw it away yet. It was the last of him left. Nonetheless it was unappetizing for anyone. So what’s left now.

You walked to the trash and dropped the container whole, why keep something bad for longer. Pickled plums were never your favorite anyway.

The Nest - Dad!Bokuto Kōtarō x reader HCs

CW: AFAB!Reader, pregnancy, Marriage, Postpartum, talks of long distance relationship, parenting styles. Tell me if there’s more I forgot to add

Kōtarō has always wanted to be a dad!

He loves kids and kids loves him

When you two got married, it was a immediate dream for you both to have a family

It took a year before you two decided to try for a baby, he was over the moon about it

Within a few months you finally got those bright red lines

Ko was ecstatic to hear the news of your pregnancy

It didn’t take long before his whole team heard the news, he couldn’t help it

During this time he decided to grew out his bread so he can appear more like a father, you found it cute and didn’t mind it

The start of your pregnancy was rough, it didn’t help that Kōtarō had to be off training or traveling for games

If he was gone for games then he would make sure to text you every time he gets a break

Every night away he would call you to ask how you feel and how was your day

But whenever he was home, he would make sure that you didn’t have to lift a finger with chores or cooking

You didn’t to clean the bathroom? He got it done!

Piles of laundry? All the laundry was cleaned and sorted by noon

He wanted to make sure that you only had to focus on growing your little prince or princess

Speaking of which, you both agreed to keep the gender a secret until the birth

“Bug” was the baby’s nickname for the whole pregnancy

You and Ko kept the nursery very neutral and plain as you knew that you probably won’t use it much till the baby was at least half a year old

Kōtarō would always greet you and the baby

Either by kissing your cheek then your bump or telling you good morning then squatting down and tell the bump good morning too

Luckily he was home for your third trimester as the volleyball season ended for the year

As much as he was a confident man, the worry about being a good dad always made him nervous

He would talk about it with his teammates when they ask him about how he feels, they would of course tell him that he would be okay

His worries didn’t stop till he accidentally slipped it to you one day at home

He will always remember the day when you told him that he was gonna be an amazing dad to your kids and that you couldn’t ask for a better husband/father to your kids

Since then he held his head higher than normal, his chest swelled with pride and joy

When the day came, he was a nervous wreck about you and the baby

He held your hand tight while saying a bunch of words about how strong you were and how much he loves you

After a few very long hours, your son was born

Bo was able to keep it together to cut the cord but the moment they handed him his son, he couldn’t help but break into tears

He longed to be a dad for so long that he couldn’t believe it was happening now

After a good few minutes of him crying, he went to you in bed and showered you with love for birthing him a child

You both named him Haru

The first few weeks were a rough patch, both of you were getting used to the new routine

Kōtarō tried to be the soul caretaker for the first few days so you could rest up

But you didn’t want him to handle it all alone yet

His teammates and friends were a godsend during this time

Akaashi would offer to watch Haru so you two could catch some sleep

He often would drop off some children’s books for you to read

Hinata would run some errands for you if they were too far

Atsamu would drop off some onigiri form his brothers restaurant

You two couldn’t thank them enough for their help and support

Haru would grow to take Ko’s looks, his bold hair and bright eyes were the first things people noticed

You adore it as it reminds you of your husband whenever he would loudly giggle or laugh

Kōtarō loves having a mini version of himself

As Haru got older, Ko tried to get you to take him to a game within the first year

You had to say no as Haru was too young to be around such a loud crowd yet

He was devastated but understood what you meant

The day of his first game, you knew he was upset about you and Haru not being able to go but you had something to cheer him up

Before the season started, you had contacted his team if they could get a way to produce a mini version of his jersey for Haru

Thankfully he never checks under the kitchen sink, you had to hide the box that the team sent

You had ask Hinata if he could text you when the team was getting ready

You dressed Haru up in the mini jersey and threw on his old one before setting up your phone to video call him

When he picked up, his eyes immediately popped out of his head

He couldn’t stop his excitement to see the two most important people in his life sporting his jersey

Holding Haru up to the camera made him feel so much better about you two not being able to see his game

The jersey his team sent was intended for a 1yo so it hung very loose on his little body

Kōtarō couldn’t help but show his teammates his adorable little boy in his little jersey

That day was his best performance of the season, he was beaming on the count and everyone else could see it

It got his team the first win of the season too

His teammates texted you to keep this up for the rest of the season

That night he went home and took a million pictures of Haru in his jersey to post online

He almost passed out from excitement when you showed him a positive pregnancy test

Kōtarō heart was so full of love for you and your family, that night he held the two of you tighter

AHHH I LOVE DAD!BOKUTO IF YOU COULDN’T TELL

Thinking about making more HCs of other haikyuu men, tell me if I should

The ride to the bookstore was enjoyable, Kuroo and Yn talked about various things to pass the time. Kuroo talked about how this bookstore was a recommendation from a friend, yn nodded and talked about how she hoped it was good. The passing-by buildings went by in a blur with their conversation.

Kuroo parked on a side street near the bookstore and got out along with Yn. She looked around and didn't know this part of Tokyo. It was farther from the center of the city, so not many were passing by only those who lived there. They walked along with each other and looked around for the bookstore. It didn't take long till they found it.

"Aiya boundless books?" They said in illusion, exchanging a quick glare at each other before walking into the store. They were greeted by an old man at the front counter. He sat on a chair near the register while reading a book. He greeted them and told them he was there to help with anything. The two thanked him before looking around more, yn was more focused on looking for some new mangas while Kuroo just trailed behind her and looked at covers.

Yn found the manga section, but it was pretty small. She crouched down to look at some of the books. "Hey, I might go next door to get some stationery for my office. You'll be okay, right?" He says while looking at a book and then putting it back. The girl looks up at him and thinks for a second "Yeah I think so... this store is pretty empty, so I'll be fine. I'll go over once I'm done. Text me if you go somewhere else" She says and smiles at him.

"Okay, I'll be right next door remember" He says, then smiles back at her. He walks away and thanks the old shopkeeper before leaving. Yn looked back at the books and put them back. Most of them were old outdated series. She searched through more and found some that looked good to read. She had a pile and held them up with one of her arms. The front doorbell rang, signaling that someone either entered or left. But the muffled greetings were quietly heard, so it was someone coming in.

She retreated closer to the back where there was a wall of magazines on display, varying from old to the latest additions. Footsteps came closer to her spot, and she stuffed herself near the corner, hoping that they would just pass by the nook. While pretending to look at the covers, the footsteps went quiet as the stranger stopped to look alongside her at the published works. Her eyes did their best to avoid staring at the stranger.

The small clock on the wall was the only sound between them before the other party coughed a bit. "My apologies.." He said, his voice being gentle to not startle the other. Yn just nodded while continuing to look at the covers. He was next to the only exit, so she couldn't slip by easily with the stack of books in her arm.

Her eyes wandered to his side of the wall and saw a magazine that caught her eye. Shuffling her stacks of books to the other hand, she reached over with no caution and found herself touching hands with someone else. They quickly looked up and stared at each other. His glasses were reflected by the warm lighting of the store. Messy black hair framed his face, a grey blazer on his shoulders. Without a second thought, yn quickly grabs the magazine and swiftly speeds by him.

She retraced her steps back to the front and passed the manga section and other shelves of books. Her heart was beating against her chest while her mind panicked with replaying the awkward scenario that had just happened. The old man smiles and asks if she has trouble finding anything. She just shakes her head no and stays quiet. She grabbed her bag and looked for her wallet, finding the two biggest bills she had and giving them to him. Before he could give back her change, she left with her purchases.

* ˚ ✦Fun facts

No one noticed the spelling mistake Tsukki made in the chat

Kenma didn't have a meeting. He didn't want to leave the house that early

Kuroo knew something had happened as he found her in the store in complete silence and staring at the floor

They went back and apologized to the old shopkeeper, who luckily wasn't mad at her for running off

Yn accidentally pushed Akaashi against the wall while fleeing. He stood there in shock at what just happened

* ˚ ✦ Fun facts...

- Bokuto made the group chat back when they went to school together, after the training camp - Kenma and Hinata were added some time afterward

- Kenma rarely talks in the group chat

- Bokuto was the one to add "Bokuto biggest #1 fan" to Akaashi's bio - Akaashi hasn't updated their profile photos. All of them are from high school

- Akaashi mostly posts about simple things about his life - Bokuto had already left to go out and lost his phone. It's safe to say he didn't get to that conference on time
