#Inarizaki x yn
Being Inarizaki’s Manager
Manager Defends Inarizaki
Tumblr media
Inarizaki x Gn! manager
Warnings: swearing (?)
AN: this is a request from @plutoistireddd!
Being the manager for such a stoic team isn’t easy
They have high standards and literally work their butt off to fill them
They can be dramatic at times, namely two specific individuals 👀
So needless to say, finding you, our unbothered, calm angel was a blessing for these boys
Literally nothing rattles you
When Atsumu is aCtInG lIke a ToDdLeR you simply ignore him and move on
When the twins fight, you simply assure nobody else is in harms way and walk away 💅
You are probably the calmest person anyone has ever met
Kita, Aran, Omimi and Akagi adore you
Literally you provide the chill they need without the dramatics
Like when Atsumu gets all worked up, you simply say “Sumu you are literally the best high school setter in Japan right now, what do you have to worry about?”
Atsumu 👉🏻😐🤨 you’re right YN!
Literally there’s absolutely nothing that phases out sweet Yn
Onetime, you were walking back to the gym and the water bottle carrier broke, spilling water bottles and water all over the floor
The team thought “this is it, this is the one!”
Suna was ready with his phone 📱
Kita, Aran and Ginjima were ready to calm you down
But nope, you just shrugged and said “well now I won’t have to mop the floors tonight” as you went, grabbed a mop and cleaned up
The guys 👉🏻👁️👄👁️
Literally they were convinced nothing would ever break you
But what they didn’t realize is that their precious Yn had one weakness and they were too silly to see it
To outsiders, it was obvious how much you carried for your team
You would do anything in your power for them
You carried for them all like friends and family
So when Inarizaki made it to Nationals, their cheer section followed
And while you appreciated the support, you knew first hand how annoying and awful they could be
Sure they were supportive but they could also be huge jerks
During the game everything remained pretty neutral
When Riseki, our precious first year was up to serve and panicked, the crowd started in on him
That’s when your irritation started to grow
It had happened at other games but you we’re definitely reaching your limit
You tried your best to remain calm but it was difficult
During the final set, the crowd was all over the place
Boos and cheers were intermixed and your agitation only grew
“YN you ok?” Coach asked, noticing your balled up fist
You simply nodded, “trying to find your chi” as Hinata would put it 😂
When they twins quick was stopped by Hinata and Kageyama, you watched the ball fall as the boys frantically chased for it
You knew it was over and you knew what was about to happen
But unbeknownst to the team, you weren’t going to deal with it
Kita called for the boys to line up as you quickly followed
Akagi, Suna and Kita all watched you come to stand in front of the team
Your arms crossed and you stood in a power stance, protecting your boys
Suna was so mad he didn’t have his phone 😅
“ALRIGHT LISTEN UP!” You screamed as the crowded settled
The guys rn 👉🏻 🧍😐😳
“They boys played their hearts out and sure they have regrets but I swear, if I hear ONE BAD THINGS about them, I will personally ruin EVEDY SINGLE ONE of your pathetic lives! This is the time when our team needs support and if you can’t BE that support, then walk your butts right out that door and never come back!” You shout as the crowd all look at you
The team 👉🏻👁️💧👄💧👁️
The crowd 👉🏻😳🫣
The coaches 👉🏻😐😏
You 👉🏻🔥👄🔥
Suddenly the crowd starts applauding as the team stands there
“YN is right, these boys played a fantastic game?” Someone yelled
You nodded, happy with the outcome as you strolled off the court and to the sidelines, grabbing your stuff and heading out
The boys silently followed you, Kita in the lead as he spoke
“Umm YN,” he said
You turned around, putting your hand up to stop him
“Kita don’t thank me. I love you guys and I’ll do anything to protect you. You played your hearts out and while I’m sure you have regrets, that match was beyond amazing and well, today just happened to be Karasuno’s day,” you smiled as the boys all started to cry
You set your stuff down, going to hug them as a team
“I gotta say Yn, that was pretty badass,” Suna added
“I’m actually surprised it wasn’t Atsumu who finally broke you,” Osamu said
“Hey! I’m not that hard to deal with!” Atsumu said
“Oh you definitely are Sumu but we all just deal with it because we love you,” you say 🥰
Atsumu 👉🏻🥲 pain

Miya-chan~
TW: Slight use of swearing
Miya Atsumu is the type to blush and mumble to himself after you call to him, singing “Miya-chan~” flirtatiously as you smirk and move in closer to him.
Miya Atsumu is the type to look away and hide behind the sleeves of his cream colored, knit sweater he wears with a loosened tie for his uniform because he wouldn’t dare show you how soft you make him feel.
Miya Atsumu is the type to drop subtle hints for you to use “Miya-chan” again but when you don’t after weeks and weeks of waiting patiently and trying he’s just snaps. “JUST SAY IT ALREADY I’VE BEEN TRYING FOR WEEKS” you sit there shocked…you were not expecting that in the middle of lunch-
Miya Atsumu is the type who won’t admit that he’ll do the little rom-com female lead leg kicks on his bed when you call him “Miya-chan” on the phone. I don’t know something about hearing on the phone must hit different.
Miya Atsumu is the type who would have teammates that have start teasing him about the wonderful discovery of “Miya-chan” but he will take no shit. “YEAH THAT’S RIGHT! SHE CALLS ME MIYA-CHAN AND I LOVE HER FOR IT! Try me bitch”
Miya-chan is the type who only likes his nicknames from you. To him, his actual name is kind of mid now-

I Missed You
Pairing: Oikawa x (gn!) reader
Word Count: tbd
Rating: Oikawa Tooru Fluff [otf]
Warnings: none// reader in timeskip becomes a doctor specializing in aging/older athletes and completing necessary check-ups before a match.
Note: I tried to not tie any gender-specific nouns when describing reader.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How I think OIkawa & reader hug each other after not seeing each other in a long time.
[23:45]
That’s the time stamp you receive on an old friend’s text. There are only three words which the message is comprised of. When you read them aloud to yourself in the comfort of your own home, you seem to repeat them like a mantra.
‘I miss you’
Simple hope draws from this in a way that can’t be described as you stare at your screen until you ultimately lock your phone. You close your eyes for a a few minutes when your brain decides to show you a highlight reel of the activities you used to do with the sender. Learning the rules of volleyball, joining in their team jogging paths, coming to scheduled matches, accompanying him to the nurse’s office when he landed on his feet wrong, etc. He was destined to be famous, just not here at home in Japan, no. Somewhere half a world away called out to him first. Argentina was distant, far, the most you’d ever be separated and even then, the times prior were literally at the start of up schooling lives.
Unfortunately, the last memory behind the closed eyes you see is a bittersweet one: the reality your friend, confidant, (and crush) hits you. You never did want to wind up fighting with him, but for once you’d want him to fight to stay here. With you. As his best friends remind you, you’d be holding him back from his true potential ever since he started practicing with the collegiate teams up the road from where you live—this was where the initial rift began to be drawn between you two.
During lunch one day, you visit his classroom, sitting next to him explaining (or rather complaining) the trouble you were having with a particular class and one of the assignments needed to be completed prior to a content exam.
“Do you ever shut up about schoolwork, yn?”
You pause, a disappointed look heavy on your brow as those within earshot suddenly fall quiet.
“I’m sorry not all of us have a righteous path carved in front of us, Tooru,” the tonality in your voice was one of annoyance. “Some of us have to work even harder to achieve our dreams other than hoping to skip town and follow in their idol’s footsteps.”
Ever since that brief conversation, you and one Oikawa Tooru, are now practically strangers come graduation day. You hear whispers via the third year rumor mill of his accomplishments and his ultimate defeat against both Shiratorizawa and Karasuno. Matches you weren’t there to show your support for, even if Iwazumi Hajime, the ace and vice captain, had invited you because, “it would be nice for him (oikawa) to see a familiar face in the crowd.”
Glancing back at Iwazumi’s moss green eyes and stoic countenance, “and if I recall, it would be nicer if I wasn’t there because it might distract him further. There are plenty of scouts heading to those matches. I’m sure he’d catch one of their eyes.”
“And if those scouts ask him to move to another country, are you really going to be ok with not saying your goodbyes when we graduate, yn?”
You aggravatedly sigh at him, muttering an annoyed, “Yes, Iwazumi-kun, even then.”
Many months later, post Oikawa's jog in the winter while watching the Karasuno v Inarizaki match, it is now springtime. You’re holding a bouquet of flowers from your parents who pose with you for pictures around the inner school gates of Aoba Josai’s campus. Your fellow classmates and club members surround you for more photos as well. This was going to be one of the final memories you have for your high school career. You were accepted into a university specializing in biomedical engineering with a strong focus on exercise science.
This was your dream, not necessarily the same path as Iwazumi’s to become an athletic trainer, no, however you had wanted to be a doctor whose focus would help restore and maintain older athlete’s bodies even post retirement. Helping those who had maybe one or two career setbacks was something which had captivated you the more you began to focus on the life sciences of your high school careers and with the help of those teachers, they had written for you a brilliant recommendations to boost your acceptance after passing the various university exams.
[13:43]
In your office nearly a decade later from high school graduation, sits your newest patient. He comes from Argentina, like your nurses tell you, but the rumor that he had come on a friend's recommendation is what actually piques your interest. Well, to be fair, two of your friends' personal recommendation are what causes you to raise your eyebrow. The nurse on duty that day takes his vitals as normal, asks him the routine questions before giving him the proper spiel of, "sit tight and the doctor will see you in a few minutes."
Oikawa Tooru has come home for several reasons. The only one on the top of his list is coming home for an exhibition match game he was invited to by the former captain of Nekoma and now representative of the JVA. However, when word reaches Iwazumi's camp in the national team's gym, he smirks, sending a text halfway across the world. Your name is thrown into the mix of doctors who are willing to examine older, closer to retirement age, athletes. Considering this was not how he had wanted to spend his second day back in his home country, Oikawa Tooru asks to book this appointment to get an all clear before playing the V-League exhibition match Kuroo talked him into attending.
You are reading over the file of the new patient outside of the room in the hallway. You scan over the various ticks he had made on the questionnaire along with your nurse who says that his young son looks up to Oikawa-san as a professional volleyball player.
"Repeat that one more time, Sato-san," you clear your throat when Sato-san repeats what he had said earlier.
"My son is as huge fan of Oikawa-san," he points to the name at the top of the document in your hand.
Right there, next to Sato-san, the nurse's pointer finger, is the kanji of the name of a person you thought about since your high school, university, and medical school graduation days. You clear your throat, thanking Sato for his time measuring the vitals of the next patient in the room you're about to enter.
"No prob doc," is all Sato says when he walks back to the nurse station leaving you to enter the examination room where an old flame sits.
You take a deep breath prior to knocking and entering. You open the door and you see OIkawa bent over on the examination bed, reading something on his phone. His hair is cropped shorter, his shoulders are a bit broader, his skin a bit tanner, and for lack of better words, his muscles quite filled out the rest of him. He's still humming a tune you're unfamiliar with until your shoes enters his field of vision.
"Hello Tooru," your voice causes him to freeze and immediately causes his eyes to avert away from his phone. "It's been a while."
Oikawa's coffee-colored eyes study your face and the recognition hits him like a truck. Although he is dressed in a sky blue buttoned blouse and dark jeans compared to your teal scrubs and white lab coat, he stands up, arms extended to crush you in a hug. His patient file falls to the floor when you hug him back.
You hear him for the first time since that argument long ago, voice wobbly and all, "I missed you."

Summary: Your father got a huge opportunity at his job, having the chance to move from your country to Hyōgo, Japan. You decided to upload blogs on YouTube to remember everything that will happen, to keep the memories; ironic since your new school banner, Inarizaki, it’s the complete opposite. You were scared, but a set of twins plus their friend made your life easier
1st Year: Inarizaki High [Suna x reader]; slice of life
[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4]
Warning: creepy dude, cursing, 8k words
The day finally arrived. Right now, you are eating breakfast, eyes fidgeting a little out of nervousness. It sucks being the new kid in any school, but being the new kid and a foreigner? That´s a lot for everyone.
The minutes pass quickly, and before you know it, you find yourself entering your new classroom with the principal.
“Good morning, everyone. Hope you guys are excited to enter this new year. I’m going to make this quick to not interrupt. This year you guys are going to have a foreign classmate. She started to learn Japanese just a few months ago, so be understanding in case she doesn’t know what you guys are saying or if she forgets some words. Yn, why don’t you say something?”
“ehh… hi everyone, my name is Yl Yn. You can just call me by my name if you have problems with my last name. Please take good care of me”
When you look up after bowing your eyes immediately go to a boy with yellowish hair, which was whispering to another one with greyish hair. They were the only ones in the class who had dyed hair, so it was easy to spot them. He looks back at you and gives you a smile, which you return with a little nod.
“Welcome Yn, it’ll be a pleasure to have you in the class. Go to the third sit next to the window, behind Suna. Suna please raise your hand so she knows who you are” says the teacher to you, making sure to talk slowly so you understand.
Looking in the direction of Suna, you were met with a serious face. It wasn’t intimidating, just a stoic expression. Walking up to him, you gave him a small smile and a little hi, before sitting down, taking your things out when the class started.
The bell rang ending the class with it. You stayed in your sit taking your phone out to film a little about the classroom. Right before hitting the stop button, the yellow and gray hair dudes came up to your sit, look at the phone and do a little pose, smiling in the process. You look at them with a clear confusion in your face.
“Weren’t ya taking a picture of us?” The grey one asks you
“We know that we´re handsome and all, but ya don’t even know our names and already have a little crush on us, huh?” the blonde one adds, smiling cheekily
“Ehhh… n-not really… I was just…ehh...video?” you say in a mix of Japanese and English. At that Suna turns around and look at the twins.
“Don’t get too cocky with the new girl, she probably was just taking a video for her friends at her country or something like that, right?” says while looking at you with his bored expression, making you nod “besides… who in their right mind will have a crush on you?”
The twins put on an extremely dramatic expression and started to fire back at Suna, who looks like he doesn’t care at all. They were talking so fast that at some point you didn’t understand a single word that came out of their mouths, but the scene looked so hilarious that you couldn’t help to laugh a little. The twins stop screaming at Suna and look back at you.
“Oh.my.god… that just sounded so cute, right Samu?”
“Yes Tsumu, it was adorable”
If you were confused before, then you didn’t know what to feel now. Why were they calling you cute? You just laugh, how is that cute? Suna noticed the confusion in your face, making him chuckle.
“Anyways, I´m Miya Atsumu, he is Miya Osamu, we´re twins. Yer name was…Yn, right?”
“Ehh yeah”
“Ohh yeah, foreigner names are soo cool sounding, ya should be proud!” says Tsumu, although by the end of the sentence he said a word that you couldn’t understand, was it in an accent?
“Eh? What?” you asked confused.
“Miya, you idiot, they told us that she was just learning Japanese don’t use your accent out of nowhere and expect her to understand” Suna says in an annoyed tone while Osamu hits his twin in the back of the head “Sorry, he´s kind of dumb sometimes”
“It´s ok, I need to study more anyway” you say to him smiling “God why is Japanese so hard?” you muttered to yourself in English.
“Wow yer English is soo good, ya better tutor us, we could use some help!” exclaims Atsumu
Before you could answer the teacher came in and send everyone to their sits. Looking at your phone you realize that it was still recording, the twins talking to you made you forget that you were filming; it'll definitely be fun to look it back.
“Let´s talk more at lunch!” Osamu whispers before going back to his sit.
“Sure…” you whisper back, basically to yourself since they already went back to their sits
“Count me in, I guess” says Suna while turning, with a softer look in his eyes. Taking the notebook out you think about what just happened, how somehow you ended up having people to eat lunch with.
++
The bell rings one more time, this time at 12.00 indicating lunch time. You feel an arm on your shoulders when you were stepping out of the classroom, making you jump a little before finding Atsumu looking down at you with a smile.
“Really dude? Ya can’t just do that, ya know?” says Osamu
“Unbelievable” adds Suna
“It’s okay, right Yn-chan? It’s just a welcome hug” says Atsumu while looking at you “besides look how small she is next to me. Adorable”
Surprisingly enough, it’s not uncomfortable, somehow Atsumu gave you a really nice aura. Flirty, yes, but nice. “Was it necessary to say that I’m short? Really? Rude” you say back to him while rolling your eyes, trying to sound as playful as you can.
“Quit flirting with the poor girl and let’s go eat” says Suna while you shake off Atsumu’s arm to walk to the cafeteria.
Once in there, the twins went to sit on a table while you and Suna went to grab food. While you didn’t talk a lot in the line, it wasn’t uncomfortable. When you were done, you look for the twins, finding them easily since they were bickering; but on the way to the table, you once again feel eyes on you, somehow Suna noticed how uncomfortable you were, giving you sympathetic smile.
Sitting next to Osamu, you took your phone out and film the food, pointing towards the guys right after. Suna gives a little nod, Atsumu waves excitingly and Osamu smiles a little right before digging in his food. While Atsumu talks about something with the guys, you ate silently enjoying their chat.
“It´s soo cool that the three of us are going to be in the volleyball team, I heard that ya were really good in middle school Suna. Obviously not better than Samu and I, but still” says Atsumu
“Do you ever just…shut up?” Suna scoffs
“That´s just rude men… Anyways Yn-chan, do ya play volleyball?”
“No, I don’t. I do like watching it, though. It´s…ehh…intense” you answer, your Japanese failing by the end
“It´s really fun, ya should definitely come to our practices sometimes! I heard that we can have a manager, why don’t ya try that?” Atsumu looks at you with excited eyes, smiling slightly at your little mistake
“Tsumu, it the first day of school, let her adapt to all of this first. Ya just want her to be our manager because she´s cute” Osamu says hitting his twin in the back of the head
“Ouch! That’s not true! If she´s our manager it would help her too!”
“Let her decide for herself! He can get really annoying sometimes, please forgive him” Osamu tells you, shaking his head annoyed.
“If I am annoying so are ya, we have the same blood!”
And with that they start bickering again while Suna does comments here and there. You just sit there eating and watching them fight, laughing here and there over their silliness. Manager? You had no idea what a manager does, why would a high school volleyball team need a manager anyways? But even if you wanted to become their manager, you still needed to go to your Japanese classes, so it wouldn’t be possible.
The twins and Suna continue their conversation, always trying to include you with sweet smiles. The minutes past fast and before you know it, lunch time was over. You didn’t expect to feel so comfortable with anyone, let alone this fast, but they did a great job at trying to make you feel welcomed.
+
The first school day was finally over. The twins and Suna left the classroom right away because they had to be early at the gym, but they made sure to scream a goodbye to you. Walking outside the school, you felt stares at your back, but this time it wasn’t like before. As you turn around you see a group of girls looking at you, hatred coming out of their eyes; confused once again, you turn around to leave before you heard
“YNNN-CHAAN! Wait!”
“What happened Atsumu? Didn’t you have to be at the gym?” you asked him once he was close enough
“Yeah, but we have to fill our waters. Anyways, that’s not the point, the coach told us that we can have a manager, but we had to make sure that it isn’t any of my fangirls or anyone crazy” he tells you with a smile
“You have… fangirls? Why?”
“Why wouldn’t I have fangirls? I´m amazing at volleyball and handsome… So what do ya say?” Atsumu says with a bit of hope in his eyes
“Ehh, I don’t know what a manager does but-”
“Don’t worry, it´s easy, we can help ya! Please?”
“Well, it´s not just that I don’t want to, I can’t. Japanese classes” you answer him back. It honestly didn’t sound so bad being their manager.
“Ohh true, ya still need to learn more Japanese"
“Yeah, sorry”
“It´s okay, yer´re trying really hard to learn our culture anyways. But ya have to come to our practices sometimes, okay? Samu and I basically adopt ya already”
“A-adopt?” you asked him. Inside the gym someone calls for Atsumu, with an annoyed tone.
“Haha cute. I have to go, see ya tomorrow, Yn-chan!”
And with that he left to the gym before he got yelled for again. You began walking towards your house with the thought still in your head. Adopt you? What does he mean? However, you can’t stop the little smile over how good this day was.
+++
Thursday morning. You repeat the same routine, but this time reading the messages from your old classmates. “The school looks so pretty!” “They still use chalk boards?” “Who are those boys you ate lunch with? They look fine, how did YOU talk to them?” “Did going there change your personality or something?” “Hope you´re doing fine <3”. You roll your eyes, but you also couldn’t blame them; you were an introvert, how could you have the balls to talk to guys like Atsumu, Osamu and Suna? They were obviously handsome.
This time you arrived to school much earlier than yesterday. Opening the locker to put your school shoes you noticed a piece of pink paper falling down, you tried to read it, but the handwriting was really messy, making it difficult to understand. You put the paper in your pocket and immediately went to the classroom to wait there, only looking up when the chair moved with Suna giving you a little nod.
“Hi” you say
“Hi, not filming today?” he asks looking at your phone, which is currently unlocked on the table.
“I already did, my old classmates find the school pretty” you answered with a smile on
“Oh? You send it to them already? Eager to show off a little?” He smirks
“Nah they were…ehh…annoyed…no, annoying about it. It’s on YouTube” you said stumbling over a word.
“Lemme see” out of nowhere he takes your phone and does something. It was so sudden that you weren’t able react “I sent me the link from your video, and I added my number too. Let me text you the number of the twins” You immediately received a text, first an emoji and then 2 contacts labeled as ‘Tsumu and 'Samu
“SUNAA! Ya left practice early?! Yer’re lucky that our coach wasn’t there” Atsumu enters screaming, moving his eyes to you with a smile.
“It was just a few minutes early, relax, besides you two were the slow ones, technically practice was over when I left” Suna says with a blank face.
“Whatever, how are ya, Yn?” Atsumu asks you
“Good, more relaxed than yesterday. You practice in morning?”
“In the morning, and yes, we do. It’s not a heavy practice like in the afternoon though” Osamu corrects you while entering the classroom and eating some cookies, which he offers you some.
“Ya should definitely come to see us, the second and third years are awesome! By the way, let me add our numbers so we can text ya!” says Atsumu smiling.
“Oh, Suna send them to me already, let me text you” grabbing your phone, you send the both of them a ‘hi 😸’, immediately receiving a text from the both of them.
“The video was beautiful Yn-chan, the aesthetics suits you a lot. You really put us on it, huh?” says Suna out of nowhere
“Well, I met you yesterday, no? That’s the idea…”
“Ya made a video? Show us?! Who looks better on it, Samu or me?”
“Obviously me, ya idiot! I’m the handsome twin yer’re the dumb one” says Osamu while smirking
“Everyone go to your seats now!” the teacher screams while entering, cutting the conversations.
It’s lunch time already, and once again Suna and you go to get lunch while the twins look for a table. This time he took your arm delicately, moving you slightly to hide you from the prying eyes.
“So… did you classmates said anything else apart from how pretty the school is?” he asks
“Hmm… they say that you guys are hot, and ask themselves why you talked to me in the first place” you laugh a little at that, but Suna squints.
“Why wouldn’t we talk to you? You look and are nice. Your classmates sound quite rude if you ask me” says Suna while taking money out of his pocket
“Well, I’m not that good at talking” you mutter while putting your hand in the pocket, but instead of money you touch a piece of paper “Oh yeah, what does this say?”
Suna takes the paper, scanned it and throws it to the trashcan with a scoff “Just Atsumu dumb fangirls saying to get away from him. Don’t listen to them” he rolls his eyes, annoyed “I’m paying for your lunch, by the way”
“Oh yeah, he has fangirls…wait, why are you paying?”
“I want to, take it as a welcome gift or whatever” he shrugs his shoulders before petting your head
“Thanks” you can feel yourself blushing. Why do you have to be so shy? You look to the front but through the corner of your eye, you can see Suna smirk at the reaction he caused on you. Walking back to the twins, you noticed that the table had a lot more people on it. Same as yesterday, you sit next to Osamu, shaking slightly when their eyes focus on you.
“Guys this is our friend Yn-chan, she is the cute foreign girl we told ya about. Yn-chan, some of the volleyball team” Atsumu presents you
“Hi, I’m Yn” you say quietly while nodding. After filming a little you turn to Osamu, who’s is eating something familiar
“Is that an…onigiri?” you asked hesitantly.
“Yes! I made them myself. Want to try one?”
“Sure. I haven’t tried them yet” you take the onigiri he’s offering, biting into it “Man, this is so good, what the hell?”
“They are so good they made ya speak English, huh?” you nod enthusiastically “glad ya like them, chibi-chan. I’ll make more for ya”
“Chibi-chan?”
“Yer’re small, which it’s cute. Chibi-chan fits perfectly”
“For the first time I completely agree with Samu, Chibi-chan suits ya really good, ya better get used to it” Atsumu butts in with a cheeky smile
“Sorry to interrupt, but is it okay to refer to her like that? Are you sure she’s its okay with it?” a boy with white hair says, looking at you with a blank face
“It’s fine, I guess. Thank you for caring…” you pause realizing you don’t know his name.
“Kita”
“Thank you for caring Kita-san, it’s okay” you repeat bowing slightly.
The lunch passed slower this time, mostly because you were answering the many questions that the rest of the team asked. You knew that they didn’t have mean intentions, they were just curious, but it was uncomfortable; the more you had to talk, the more your volume went down. Somehow, Suna was the first one to notice your nervous state. He didn’t exactly know why, but he likes you a little more than he likes the twins, even though he met you yesterday.
“Oh yeah! Atsumu can you tell your fangirls to stop bothering her? She received a threatening note in the morning. Thankfully she didn’t understand what it said, but still”
“A threatening note? Chibi, I’m so sorry for it. I’ll try to say something to them”
“Ugh, Atsumu fangirls are so annoying” someone from the team say, successfully drifting the attention away from you into Atsumu’s fan club. You look at Suna and mouth a little 'Thanks', which he returns with a little smirk and a nod. Despite being nervous, you found that the team was really fun. After lunch, everyone in the team went to their classes, not before saying goodbye to you.
“I forgot that ya arrived here a few days ago, and ya just had the school lunch so far. Don’t worry about tomorrow’s food, I’ll make ya a bento with some of my favorite things” Osamu says to you while walking towards your classroom
“You don’t have to…”
“I don’t remember asking ya. Seriously, it’s fine, I want ya to try other Japanese food outside of the cafeteria one” he says ruffling your hair
“Thank you” you move to give him a little hug, feeling him tense up slightly. Before you could question him, you heard Atsumu voice
“Samu! make me a bento too!” Atsumu exclaims looking at his brother, who simply said ‘No’ before walking away “why not? I’m yer twin!”
“That’s exactly why I don’t want to!”
You went straight to your sit while the twins still were bickering about the bento, unconsciously taking your phone out before starting filming them. You noticed that Suna also had his phone pointing to the twins direction, shooting you a playful smirk.
The day passes quickly after that. While you were checking your videos, which had a lot more views than you expected, you heard your phone ring.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

The morning classes pass normally, so now you are in the cafeteria ready for lunch sitting next to Osamu, who passes you the bento box with a smile on his face. The box was wrapped in a cute cat fabric. Opening it, you see the most beautiful food that you have ever seen, with things you already knew to things that you never seen before.
“So... I added some classics that ya already had before, at least in here, and some of my favorites from this side of Japan. Hope ya like it chibi” Osamu explains with an over-the-top reverence.
“I'm sure it's good, you made it. Thank you again” you say to him smiling, noticing a small blush on his ears. As soon as you tried the food your eyes go wide. While you didn’t know what exactly you were eating, it was so good “So fucking good, just unbelievable. So good Samu, so good” you mutter making Osamu smile grow even bigger
“Chibi, any plans for the weekend?” Suna asks while looking at with at you with little smile, the three of them were watching you with a soft look.
“Ehh... I need to finish unpacking. I don't know how long it would take”
“That takes a lot of time, and its so tiring and boring” you nod your head as an answer since you had your mouth full
“Chibi, when are ya coming to see our practice? We're really good” says Atsumu with a little pout
“I will go as soon as I can, I promise”
“Ya better”
You continue talking, well the twins with a few interruptions from you and Suna. Between talking to Suna and hearing the twins bicker with each other the classes past fast, the guys leaving to their practice as soon as they end. Walking towards the gates of the school you felt someone grabs your backpack effectively stopping you, finding the same group of girls from the other day.
“Look girls, it's the little whore. After all that's the only way she will get any attention from our Tsumu” one of them says
“Yeah, and why else would the boys talk to her otherwise...just look at her. Ew”
You just stood there without saying a word, partly because you weren’t sure what they were saying, but most importantly, you just wanted to go home “Can I go now? Thanks” you said while taking her arm out of you and walking away.
You can hear them yelling something, but you just put your earphones and completely ignore them. You knew that they were Atsumu fangirls, but they didn't seem to understand what the word fangirl meant. Debating between letting Atsumu know about it or not, you decided to just forget it; you knew that he would do something dumb by seeing his reaction whenever someone mentions them
The weekend pass fast between unpacking, taking Japanese classes and talking to the boys. On your way to school you felt some eyes on you, noticing an old man standing next to you. You noticed that the old man was trying to look at you discretely, taking his phone out; after a few minutes, you suddenly felt a hand near your skirt, the phone getting dangerously close. Instinctively, you move and ‘accidentally’ hit his hand, causing him to drop his phone with the camera open. The were still 3 stations left and the dude didn't seem to get a away soon, so you just moved as much as you could. You were a station away when you felt a hand on your lower back, noticing that it was from the same dude, you turned around and slap him as hard as you could, leaving the train right away.
You arrived to school quite fidgety, the adrenaline finally going down. Putting your head on the desk you teared up a little, realizing how scary the moment felt. While you were like this the boys enter from their morning practice, worrying as soon as they saw your state.
“Oi, what happened to you?” Suna asks while tapping your head, making you jump a little.
“Ah? ehh...” Should you tell them or not? You don't want to worry them, but you also knew it wasn't a good idea to not say anything “ehh...”
“Don't you dare to say it's nothing” he says again, Osamu and Atsumu arriving right after.
“Ehh...someone... subway... photo under my skirt...try” you tried to say in an extremely broken Japanese, voice shaking at the thought.
“A photo of ya? Under yer skirt?” Osamu asks softly making you nod.
“That motherfucker...how dare him?” Suna says while shaking his head. You tense up at the feeling a pair of arms and a chin on top of your head before relaxing in Atsumu embrace.
“I'm sorry Chibi” says softly, tightening his grip and effectively managing to calm you down with his hug
“It's okay, I guess... I slap him though”
“That's my girl, that asshole deserved it” Suna laughs slightly while patting your head.
“Glad that nothing more happened to ya chibi-chan” says Samu while patting your head “but if ya want us to beat him, we can”
Throughout the whole day the guys treated you even more gentle then usual, all of them trying their best to make you forget what had happened with their affection. The twins naturally ended up embarrassing themselves, but this time even Suna joined. The day ended, meaning that you had to leave while the guys go to practice.
“Be careful Chibi, if someone looks suspicious move right away”
“Yes, Samu, I’ll be fine, don’t worry. Thanks”
“If ya were our manager we could walk ya home, ya know?”
“Tsumu, not the time” says Suna
“My classes are near here, I’ll be fine, I promise. See you guys!” You leave waving at the boys, who wave back with a concern look before entering the gym.
Ending your class at 5, you walked in front of the school to go back to the subway, surprising you that it still was open. Will the guys still be practicing? The question is quickly answered when you hear balls hitting the ground, alongside the sound of sneakers and some screams here and there. You knock quietly and open the door to see who is in it, finding the guys playing. You stay in the section where they change shoes, in awe while watching them play. The guys were so focused playing than none of them even noticed that someone enter. The score was 20 – 24, the team of the twins winning, when the coach notice that you were standing there.
“Sorry, this is a close practice. No fangirls for today” he says
“Eh? I´m not a fangirl I´m-” you get interrupted by screams, noticing that the twins team won. They share hi-5’s before they noticed that you were talking to the coach “friends with some of them”
“Chibiii! Did ya see us play?”
“When did ya arrived?”
“Coach let her stay, she´s our friend”
“Yeah, she´s is Suna friend too, right Suna?”
“Yeah, she is. Hi Chibi” Suna smile slightly
“See coach, let her…”
“SHUT UP!” screams the coach “I understand, you don’t have to say it a million times” The twins stayed quiet right away, muttering a ‘Sorry’, but at the same time looking really happy “Since the practice match is over, we can finish now anyway. EVERYONE! Good job today, do your final stretches and clean yourself up. See you tomorrow.”
The coach leaves muttering about how annoying they were, making you chuckle while the twins and Suna look at you.
“Soo, ya watched us play?” Atsumu asks
“Yeah, for the last two points… it was awesome”
“Didn’t you have classes?” asks Suna with a malicious grin “desperate enough to come and see us?”
“Ha.ha no, my tutoring is nearby and we finish early, so I thought that I could come and see if you were still here”
“Ahh yeah, we normally practice until 18.30 or 19.00 depending on the day. Wait for us outside while we do our stretches and clean up, one of us will walk ya to yer house” says Osamu
“Okay”
“Wait, not fighting us back? Ya always deny everything at first” asks Atsumu confused
“It doesn’t seem like I have lots of options, does it?”
“True, anyways let´s change so we can go” adds Atsumu ruffling your hair
And with that the three of them turn around and go stretching. You left the gym and breath the pure air, since the gym one wasn’t pleasant after a bunch of teenage boys had practice there. You decided to post a story on Instagram as you wait, taking a photo of the sky and tagging the boys on it. You received some messages from your old classmates and one from Suna, just the 😑 emoji.
Once the 3 of them are out you walk to the subway, realizing that this was the first time the four of you walk together after school. The more time you spend with them, the more confident they make you feel, which ends up with you talking a lot more than the usual. It’s obvious that the guys noticed the change because their eyes widen a little and have a little smile, but decided to say nothing about it.
“So... where do ya go?”
“I take that subway, it's 12 stations to the one near my house”
“Oh, we live quite close then, I live 3 stations before you” says Suna
“Not fair, why do we live to the other side?” says Atsumu pouting
“Luck really isn't on our side huh?” Adds Osamu, a little disappointed too “anyways, go now before it's too late. Suna, take care of her”
“Bye guys, see you tomorrow!” You wave at them while walking to the other side of the station with Suna. He let you in first, immediately moving towards the back doors. Suna stands in front of you with his left arm right besides your head, making you realize just how tall he was next to you.
“Damn, you're tall” you say unconsciously
“Did you just realized that?” he asks amused looking down at you.
You blush at the realization that you said it out loud, looking to the other side while Suna just chuckles. Looking at your phone, you noticed it's already 6 pm, reason wht it was getting chillier. Since you have never been out at this time, and you didn’t expect to stay out until this late, you didn't bring anything for the cold afternoon.
Looking at Suna again, you decided to talk about his practice. He teaches you all the basics rules, like the rotation system, the libero, etc. And while some things didn't made sense, you definitely knew way more than before. Plus, it was nice to see him so relaxed.
Soon the train started to get full, so Suna ended up extremely close to you, the only thing separating you being your backpack. You noticed a small blush on Suna's cheeks while he tries to not look at you “Ehh, it's... okay if I put my hands beside you? I don't want to squish you” he asks you
“It’s okay, give me your backpack so it's easier for you” you say without looking at him; passing you his backpack while putting his hand on the other side of my head, he makes a little shield with his body. Since his arm was right beside your head, you decided to lay on it, feeling Suna stiff a little before relaxing. After a few minutes you look up ready to get off the train, Suna somehow understanding and taking your hand so you can walk out.
“Thank you for coming with me” you say
“What are you saying now? We aren't at your house yet”
“Eh? I thought that you would want to go back right away, after all you just finish your practice” you tell him confused
“Nah, I’m making sure you arrive home okay, I'm not that dumb. Now move” He says flickering your forehead lightly
You go out of the subway, immediately getting chills, the warmth of the train station leaving as soon as you go out, but you decided to ignore it and continue walking. Suna rolls his eyes whispering ‘This girl' before taking off his jacket and throwing it to your head “Put it on you idiot”
“Thanks”
You two continue walking while talking to each other, the conversation going from the things that your country has, your old school to his old school and the volleyball team.
“I would love to see an actual practice of yours, maybe even be your manager. It looked fun”
“You have classes everyday?” he asks
“Yeah, I finish at 5 in the week, the early that I can be at the school it’s at 5:15 or so”
“You know, we have practice on Sundays, you can come and see a full practice there”
“You practice on the weekends too?!” you exclaim
“Haha yeah, just Sundays though. Maybe, if you help us then, we can convince our couch to let you be our manager despite the time”
“Why would he let me be your manager? I don’t think arriving at 5 pm will be helpful” you look at him confused
“Well, if you do help us whenever you can, then why not? It’s not like you don’t want to. Besides it can give you special permissions to not go to school whenever we have a practice match outside the town or something like that” he says simply
“I can get permissions to not go to school just because I'm your manager? Let’s try it then. You should have told me that sooner”
“And here I thought that you wanted to spend more time with us, all it took was telling you that you could leave classes for you to consider it. I'm hurt Chibi. I'm hurt” he says with a fake hurt expression
“Such a drama queen. You know that I love you guys. Anyways, my house is over there, so let me...” you roll your eyes while opening the jacket and give it back, but his hand stops you before you could fully open it.
“Don't worry about it, just give it back tomorrow”
“This is your jacket for practice though, you guys have practice in the morning too”
“I'll use a hoodie. Go in now, I'm tired and I want to leave” he says bluntly, but with a softer look on his face
“Okay, okay. Bye Suna, see you tomorrow!” with that you got close while bringing him down to give him a kiss on the cheek. You turn around and enter your house, failing to notice how flustered Suna was, with his eyes widen and a heavy blush on his cheeks.
After getting ready for bed, you look at your phone, finding a bunch of texts from the group chat and one separately from Suna. You look at the group chat first, considering that it has the most messages on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next morning was quite chilly, so you just put Suna's jacket on and head out. You end up behind them once you arrived, so you took your phone out and started recording, hoping to catch their faces.
“Guys!”
“Chibi! Hii!” exclaims Atsumu
“What's up” says Suna while approaching you. He bends down so you can give him the same kiss than yesterday with a smirk on “Why are you wearing my jacket again?”
“It was cold”
“What just happened?” Asks Osamu stunned
“Samu...did they kissed or what? How? Are they dating already? No, they can't be. They met a few days ago, what's...”
“Shut up! It didn't look like a normal kiss... Chibi. Explain. Now” asks Osamu while crossing his arms waiting for an answer; he had a serious look while Atsumu was confused, going between Suna and you. You couldn't hold back your laugh much longer, bursting out laughing.
“You sure are idiots, we didn't kiss kiss” says Suna rolling his eyes
“Yesterday I accidentally said goodbye to him like that. It’s nothing serious” you tell them when your laughter stopped
“Your reactions were so funny”
“Ya guys are mean. I'll forgive ya just because yer're cute chibi” says Atsumu moving to give you a hug
“Ya scare me, I was ready to beat Suna up for taking advantage of my poor little girl” Osamu hugs you before bending down to your ear “However, if he does try to do something ya don't want, let me know right away, okay?”
“Sure Samu, you will be the first one to know if something comes up”
++
The week passes fast and before you know it was Friday. These past days you’ve been staying with the boys after your tutoring, helping them out with the water bottles and all the other managerial duties that you could help. You were talking to Kita, who helped you out with everything since he's not technically part of the team, while taking the equipment to the storage room, noticing a calendar that has a yellow circle on the 4th of April with the word "Aran" on it.
“That's Aran-san birthday, we have all the birthdays of the team on the calendar”
“Jesus! What the fuck, Suna! How the hell are you so quiet?! My heart”
“Not my fault you're deaf” He shrugs smiling
“Rude. Anyways that's cool… So your birthday is on January 25th, good to know” you whisper to yourself while looking through the calendar
“We should add our Chibi into the calendar!” exclaims Atsumu
“Finally, a good idea came out of yer mouth” mutters Osamu “When is it princess?”
You’ve been looking at the calendar while they were talking, arriving to the month of your birthday and seeing a bright circle with two names on it “No fucking way. You have to be kidding me” You mutter, the boys immediately looking at you “I share my birthday with the two of you?!”
“Hey why do ya look so annoyed by that?! I thought we were friends” says Osamu copying your expression
“Maybe that's why she looks so annoyed”
“Suna! Not now! But like really? Yer're on the 5th too?” Atsumu asks, making you nod before hugging you tightly “see Samu, I told ya she is our twin too. Ya can't get away from us now, we're family”
“Yay? should I be happy?”
“Of course ya should, don't ya love us?”
“Well...” you say finally breaking into a smile. Honestly, you didn't really care about sharing your birthday with the twins, you just wanted to mess up with them a little. Atsumu looks at you with a disappointed expression “I´m kidding, I´m kidding”
“Let me fix the calendar” Suna adds, taking a sticky note out and put it right on the 5th, writing just your name on it “Done, all the important birthdays added”
“SUNA!”
The team laughs at the scene of Atsumu fighting with Suna, who didn’t look like he cared. After a few minutes of the scene, the captain makes them stop, pushing the four of you out of the gym.
“I promise ya Chibi, we are going to have the best birthday ever!”
“Tsumu it´s not going to annoy ya, I promise” Osamu adds
“Yer´re the same as me, don’t pretend to be more mature now”
“God, love you guys” you whisper to yourself, but they manage to hear
“We love ya too” says Osamu, ruffling your hair
“Group hug! Come here Suna, ya know that ya want to do it too” Atsumu went to hug you, bringing his twin with him
“… Fine, just because of Chibi though”
++
You really love these boys for you to get up so early on a Sunday morning. You put some sweatpants and a hoodie, you weren’t going to get all fancy with clothes or makeup at this hour.
You were looking for your subway card when you see Suna resting on the wall writing something in his phone and then closing his eyes. You hear a notification immediately after, so you look at your phone and see a message ‘Hey, at what time do you take the subway?’.
“Now” you answered, startling him a little “why are you here?”
“Can´t I pick you up now? If I knew I will be treated like this I wouldn’t have come” he says trying to sound annoyed, a soft smile threatening to appear.
“Thank you for coming. Let´s go, you´re going to be late” you grab his arm and pull him to the station. Even though you thought he will fight back or not let you pull him at all, he did nothing to stop you, he didn’t even shake your arm off even though you were already on the train.
You arrived to the school just on time, seeing the rest of team already there. They smile at you before going out for a run to warm up, so in the meantime you decided to fill up their water bottles and prepare everything in the gym for their practice. The coach entered soon after, surprised by seeing you there.
“Wasn’t expecting you here, Ms. Ln”
“The boys talk me into helping them, they really want me to be their manager” you tell him while shrugging your shoulders
“It would be a good idea, the twins look a lot more concentrated and fight less whenever you’re around, Suna tries harder than usual, and Aran seems more relaxed. Overall, everyone looks and acts better when you are here. Do you want to?”
“I do, seeing them get better and play its strangely comforting. Can I be the manager even if I arrive later than usual though?”
“Sure, why not. Besides I will never hear the end from the twins if I don’t let you be, we both win like this. I’ll tell the director about it. Can you make sure they practice correctly in the mean time?”
“Yes sir”
You go around giving them their bottles when the boys arrive all sweaty and tired. Once you were near Atsumu you smile at him brightly, making him look at you confused while receiving the bottle.
“Congrats, you guys have a new manager” you tell them while turning around and handing some towels to the rest of the guys.
“Huh? New manager?” his eyes widen at the realization “Wait! Are ya finally our manager?!” You simply nod, trying to not laugh. Out of nowhere you feel a pair of arms around you, lifting you up and turning you around “Yes! Our chibi is our manager!!”
“Tsumu you’re sweating! You don't have to make such a big deal about it” you say laughing along, however he just hugs you tighter and nuzzles his head on your shoulder
“Welcome to the team, officially now. Please help us to keep them in line” says the captain of the team with a smile.
The hours pass quickly with them practicing. You were taking some notes about them with the help of Kita, who explained everything very kindly. They practice throughout the whole day, finishing with a match between them.
“Chibi, do ya want to practice for a bit?” Asks Atsumu right before they started leaving
“Ehh... I remember learning the basics, I’m not good”
“C’mon, let me see what they taught ya” you did the basic arm position that you knew “Hey that's good, the arms have to be closer though. Why don't ya try receiving the ball?”
“You’re going to take my arms off. I have never done this and you want me to start with people that have played this sport since kids?”
“C'mon, I'm not going to throw it at ya with force. We don't even need the net”
“Do I even have a choice?” He shakes his head, sending you a smile “Fine, 10 minutes. You guys can leave, I don’t want you to see me embarrass myself”
“You're kidding? Our new manager learning how to play? I wouldn't miss this for anything” says Aran with a mocking grin on his face, the rest of team agreeing. With that Atsumu takes a ball and throw it high enough to make it as easy as possible. You were able to received the ball decently, half scared and half nervous.
“Hey, yer're pretty good for someone who never played before” he says
“Ya look so cute Chibi. My heart” adds Osamu with a hand on his chest
“She looks like a kid scared of the ball. So cute”
Every time Atsumu threw the ball at you, he changed something, from the force that he hit it to the place it was going to fall. The 10 minutes passed and your forearms were on fire, everyone started to leave before giving you some head pats, tiredness was getting over you by the minute
“See, yer're not bad at all. Maybe we can teach ya more later”
“Shut up Atsumu”
“Don't be mad! I needed to see how ya would react to different things”
“She looked so scared, it was fun and cute” Osamu giggles at the memory
“You too Osamu. You know how I said that I loved you earlier? Yeah, I take it back.”
“Ya can't and ya won't. Remember yer're our official new twin, there's no refunds in this” says Atsumu while back hugging you
“Samu, help me”
“Nope, ya call me Osamu, this is a payback”
“Suna?”
“Nah”
“Why are ya mad at me? I mean it when I said ya were good” Atsumu asks lifting you up while continue walking, like it was something normal.
“I woke up at a 6 am on a Sunday, my arms hurt, I'm tired, I embarrassed myself. Is that not enough for you? And put me down”
“I'm not putting ya down until we arrive to the subway. And thank ya, ya have put up with us a lot, we love ya a lot”
“You're not mad mad, are you? I feel that if you were you will be kicking our ass right now” Suna says
“Probably tired, she did wake up early and did a bunch of things she's not used to. I know that I would be if I was her”
“And this is why Samu is my favorite”
“Chibi-chan! I'm the one carrying ya!” exclaims Atsumu
“I didn’t ask you to do it”
“But still” with that he gets closer to whisper in your ear “Hey chibi-chan? Ya still love us, right?”
“Yes Tsumu, I do. I'm just tired, it was a long day” you sigh after hearing the sad tone in his voice.
“Good, don't leave us, okay? All of us really care about ya”
“I know Tsumu, I care about all of you too”

[01:21] atsumu miya has a big crush on you
warnings none!
other timestamps
Tumblr media
you weren't surprised that he stared at her; her features so delicate, yet sharp, gentle yet so bold. envy couldn't help but knock at your door as you notice that every class you catch him staring at her: your seatmate. much like all the other people, you'd taken a liking to atsumu miya, the setter of the volleyball club.
you shared a few classes with him, but most of the time you sat apart in far distances from the room, your existence barely noticeable to his schedule. despite having a friendship with him several years back, he'd changed and drifted from you as a result of conflict in interest. blissful and short lived was the friendship, yet quality over quantity had truly reigned over that highlighted phrase, and you had come to terms with it yourself.
even though you had been friends with atsumu for two years as early teenagers; he made life feel like rainfall on a drought, sunshine in blistering winters. he'd provided you with chunks of happiness no other person could gift to you. losing him was a defeat on your behalf as you realised you weren't as important to him as you had thought.
sitting pretty your seatmate, emiko, sighed tirelessly at your cluelessness as you quietly groan at the reminder of atsumu never looking your way, when in reality it was the polar opposite.
watching you dejectedly sit every lesson beside her was a killjoy, and she'd wish you could notice that in reality atsumu had been burning holes into your face every class, and not her. although the chase was interesting to witness, it had taken far too long and she couldn't help but feel as if she'd become a wedge in the (yet to bloom) relationship.
"that ends this lesson, please make sure that all the people's names i've written on the board have handed in their assignment by tomorrow. you may all leave." like the speed of light, you pack up your books and are the first to leave the class, sparing no glance to the innocent setter waiting to grab your attention.
"miya-san," emiko calls out, "if you're going to stare at l/n-san all throughout the class, do it so they know that you're staring at them, not me."
atsumu's face burns red with embarrassment and he nods in accordance, before running towards the direction he assumed you headed. sighing yet again, emiko slowly packs her bags up and hopes that things between you and atsumu are cleared up.
Tumblr media
a/n: this is kind of a whole like mutual pining thing but both love interests are dense and cant pick up hints ?? its really short though rip

reacting to you calling them by their last name
genre: fluff ft. various jjk + hq characters!
warnings: none.
DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK. their ego is so fucking big that they’ll call you by your l/n back but instead, you’re the one who’s gonna be on your knees, begging to be forgiven, not them.
tsukishima, kuroo, kyotani, issei, suna
sukuna, getou, toji, mai, naoya
WHINES. they will do everything and that includes calling u every weird pet name they know that exists until you give up. then after, they’d make you call them their favorite pet names while cuddling.
hinata, tanaka, nishinoya, bokutotendou, narita, yamamoto, oikawa, atsumu, yachi
satoru, choso, miwa, momo, itadori, nobara
OVERTHINKS. it may sound overly dramatic to others, but to them, hearing you call them by their last name really hit the spot. anxious thoughts bubbles up their mind and it worries them that you might’ve gotten tired of them.
kageyama, ushijima, tadashi, kenma, asahi, goshiki, osamu, ennoshita, kinoshita, lev.
megumi, inumaki, aoi, junpei, itadori, noritoshi
ASKS U IF THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG. they hate getting into arguments especially with you. they want u to be comfortable in telling them if there’s something wrong so you can both fix it.
daichi, sugawara, aone, iwaizumi, akaashi, kenma, konoha, ushijima, kita, kiyoko

marrying atsumu as kita's sister would be so chaotic.
while kita hands you over to atsumu he looks all calm as usual. when asked why (because atsumu would do anything to get that little praise from kita. yes he will.) he says it's because he 'trusts' atsumu. atsumu's beaming with a "FOR REAL?!" and kita is like "not really will be keeping an eye on ya." and atsumu stiffens up as kita's signature icy cold gaze runs over the atmosphere

Being Inarizaki's Manager:
Atsumu Rejects Miss Manager and Regrets It
Tumblr media
Atsumu Miya featuring Inarizaki x Fem! Manager
Warnings: Angst to fluff, Swearing, the sting of rejection (sadness, crying, loss of appetite)
A/N: This is an Anon request! Now I'm in an angst mood and who better to fulfill all my angst dreams than my bestie Sumu 🥰
We are going to start this one a little differently 😏
Change is good people 👏🏻
You've been Inarizaki's Manager for almost 2 years now
You started your first year mainly because you were friends with the twins, Suna and Ginjima
They wanted a manager, you needed a club
It was literally a match made in heaven 😍
You've been friends with the twins for a while now, since you were kids
And you've always had a little crush on Atsumu
Honestly YN, Osamu is RIGHT THERE 🙄
But whatever 😒
Sumu was your chosen love
You had always admired him for his ability to dedicate so much time to his skills
He was a solid friend and always had your back
So when you went to high-school, it wasn't a surprise that you started to develop feelings for one of your best friends 🥰
We love a childhood friends to lovers here!
However, you vowed never to tell Atsumu of your crush for a few reasons
1) you were certain he was too good for you
Not true YN but go on
2) he was so popular and you were just the teams manager
3) he was one of your best friends and you didn't want to ruin that
Honestly I admire you YN, you sweet sweet baby 🥺
But just because you vowed never to tell Atsumu, doesn't mean a certain someone hasn't picked up on the clues
Our resident Nosy Nancy, Suna is on the case 🔍
He's known for at least 2 years that's you've liked Atsumu Yn
How you ask? Do you really need to ask YN?
He's a middle blocker and a fantastic one at that 👏🏻
Mans picks up on everything
So he takes it upon himself to be our chosen matchmaker
First, he confronts you
"If you like Atsumu say what," he says 👀
You 👉🏻👁👄👁 what-
Suna 👉🏻 got her 😏
"YN give it up I know you like idiot #1, just confess already!" Suna says as you just stare at him in shock
"Suna I can't do that! Atsumu is to popular, there is no way I'll be anything more than his friend," you say shutting your locker
"And you know this because???" Suna asks
"Because I'm not stupid Rin and I value my heart ok!" You spit as you walk away
However Suna isn't satisfied with that
Oh no no no, he's going to do more
So he casually decides to being it up with Atsumu in the club room 😃
Great, solid plan 👌🏻
"Hey what do you guys think about YN?" Suna asks 👀
"What about her?" Osamu questions
"I mean, she's super cute right? I'm surprised she doesn't have a boyfriend," Suna continues
"She gets confesses to alot but she's never gone out with any of the guys who've asked her," Ginjima chimes in
"What do you think Sumu?" Suna probes
Atsumu just laughs as Suna, Ginjima and Osamu all look at him, confused
"What's so funny?" Ginjima questions
"I mean, I guess she's cute if you like that type of girl," Atsumu responds
"What type of girl? YN is gorgeous Sumu," Osamu says, crossing his arms and defending you
"Oh don't get me wrong, YN is hot but shes just not my type plus she's one of my best friends," Atsumu says
Suna is now glaring at Atsumu because what an idiot istg 🙄
"So you're saying you'd never ask YN out?" Ginjima asks
Atsumu again laughs, "Yeah not in a million years!"
Well thank God you weren't just standing outside the club room at that exact moment to hear the ENTIRE exchange am I right 😃
Right 😃
Yn...
You rn 👉🏻😐🥺 right..
Crap 😐 you heard the whole thing didn't you?
You just so happened to be walking by when you heard Suna mention your name
So naturally you had to listen
Curiosity killed the cat you know 😫
That brings us to you, standing outside the club room as tears stream down your face
You always knew you weren't good enough for Atsumu
But hearing the words come from him just stabbed you right in the heart
You're heart that was currently breaking 💔
"Hey YN, what's wrong?" Aran says coming up behind you as you try desperately to blink away the tears
Suddenly the club room door opens and Suna, Ginjima, Osamu and Atsumu come out
Suna instantly knows why you are crying but he says nothing 😶
He's just like 👉🏻😳 crap-
"Yn what's wrong? Did someone mess with ya?" Atsumu asks as he approaches you
You back away, not wanting to be near him
Atsumu stops and looks at you confused 😕
Quick YN, think of something!
"Ummm, no- I uh I didn't do so good on a math quiz, I'll be ok. See you in the gym!" You quickly say trying to combat the tears as you turn and run to the gym
Everyone but Suna is so confused
"YN's best subject is math tho," Ginjima questions
Osamu looks to Suna who is looking a bit pale
He starts to wonder what's going on 🤨
"Let's leave her alone, she just maybe needs some time," he says, quickly walking to the gym
That day, at practice, you are incredibly distant and quiet
Literally everyone notices including Kita, Omimi and Michinari
Suna is just like 😗 🎶 trying to ignore everything
Very suspicious 🙃
"Hey YN, you ok?" Omimi finally asks as you snap from your haze
"Oh yeah! Sorry, I uh failed an English quiz so I'm a bit sad but I gotta run! It looks like you guys need water!" You say, way too enthusiastic about filling water bottles
"I thought you failed a math quiz?" Aran questioned as your eyes widened
"Oh uh, yeah I failed both. Just a bad day ha ha," you say quickly grabbing the bottles and running off 🏃‍♀️
Atsumu is watching you, concerned about why you are acting this way
You see, Atsumu may have lied a teeny tiny bit earlier 👀
He really does care about you and he likes you a lot but he's nervous to confess 😬
He tries to not think about it as he goes about his serving practice
After practice, Atsumu stays later to get some more serves in while the guys head to the club room
"Alright Rin spill!" Osamu says cornering Suna
"What?" Suna asks, trying to remain aloof 👀
"We all know you know why YN is acting the way she is! So spill!" Osamu says
Suna sighs as he looks at the team who is all watching him
"YN likes Atsumu and I'm pretty sure she heard what he said about her earlier," Suna says as Ginjima and Osamu's eyes widen
"Wait, what did Atsumu say?" Kita questions
"He said YN wasn't his type and that he wouldn't date her," Ginjima answers
"Well crap, poor YN," Michinari says, sitting down on the bench
"I mean, what can we do? He doesn't like her and we can't change that," Aran interjected
"I feel bad for bringing it up but I really didn't think she would hear it," Suna says
"I think we just need to let her process it and move on. We can't force him to like her," Kita says as the guys all look down
They want to help YN but they have no clue how to so it
So they just wait and see
Unfortunately, you don't cheer up ☹️
The sting of rejection really hurts and it's affecting everything
Soon you start to withdraw from the team, only showing up to practice right before you have to and leaving as quickly as you can
Even the coach notices 🥺
Atsumu is beginning to really wordy about you
He hasn't seen you for more than a few hours all week
You look pale and like you've lost weight
He hates seeing you like this
So he decides to ask to bring it up
At the team meeting 😃
Oh sweet baby Jesus
"Does anyone have anything else to add?" Coach asks as Atsumu raises his arm
"Yeah, I'm just wondering what's up with you YN? Are you ok?" Atsumu questions
Literally the entire team rn 👉🏻👀👂🏻
He's just staring at you
And you look at him like 👉🏻👁💧👄💧👁
"I'm fine Sumu, I just haven't been doing well in school," you finally say as Atsumu scoffs
"YN that's a lie! I know you got one of the best scores in English and Math! So what's really going on? Is someone picking on ya? Did someone reject ya?" Atsumu asks as you just sit there, trying hard not to cry
"Sumu lay off ok?" Osamu says as Atsumu looks at him
"No! She's being such a downer and she's acting ridiculous. She won't talk to any of us and she's barely present!" Atsumu says as the tears start to stream down your face
"Atsumu, enough!" Kita growls as you try your hardest to not cry
"What's wrong with ya? If some guy rejected ya then he doesn't deserve ya! Move on Yn!" Atsumu says
That does it, that breaks the dam of emotions that have been building up
You stand up, tears streaming down your face as you look at Atsumu
"I was rejected Sumu and you're right, I should just move on from it but it's hard to move on from being rejected by your best friend!" You scream as Atsumu's eyes widen in shock, "but you're right, he doesn't deserve me!"
You turn, running out of the gym as the tears flow
Aran, Omimi and Michinari all get up and run after you
Kita is just standing there, his arms crossed looking hella pissed off
"Way to go idiot," Osamu says, standing up and walking out of the door
"What- what's going on?" Atsumu questions as Suna and Ginjima stands up
"YN likes you dumbass. She's been sad because she overheard us talking about her the other day," Suna says
Atsumu 👉🏻😐😳 she- she heard that?
"You couldn't just let her be could ya?" Ginjima says, turning and walking out the door as Suna follows and shakes his head
Atsumu is left on the gym, stunned and trying to process his emotions
Meanwhile, you locked yourself in the girls bathroom, bawling your eyes out as you tried to calm down
Did he really have to bring that up? Did he have to reopen the wounds you were trying to heal?
You sat in the bathroom for a while until you finally emerged, looking around to make sure nobody was left to see your state
You walked out the door, turning the corner to see Atsumu sitting on the bench
You quickly turn, trying to avoid him but it's too late
"YN wait!" He shouted as you quickly walked away
"YN stop!" He said, catching up to you and pulling your arm to turn you around
"Sumu I'm sorry I can't-" you say as the tears run down your face
Atsumu says nothing, just pulling you in for a big hug
The hug is comforting but also hurtful as you continue to cry louder
"YN I'm so sorry I hurt ya," he said as he rubs your back and you hug him back
"It's ok Sumu, I should have known you wouldn't like me," you said as Atsumu pulls you away, looking down into your eyes
"But I do like you YN," he says
You rn 👉🏻🥲 huh?
He sighs, throwing his head back and looking back at you, "I do like you YN. I've liked you since middle school. I just- I just didn't want to ruin our friendship. You're my best friend YN and I love you."
You 👉🏻😲
YN is too stunned to speak
"Sumu-"
"I guess I didn't really think you'd like me since I'm so annoying and kind of an idiot," he said laughing
You just nod
Atsumu 👉🏻😐 really YN?
"Sumu, I'm sorry I let this impact our friendship. I'm happy just being friends with you," you say as Atsumu looks at you
"I can't be friends with you anymore YN," he says
You 👉🏻🥺😔 I understand
"No! God I'm awful at this! I want you to be my girlfriend YN!" Atsumu says, panicking
"You, you- what??" You shout as your eyes widen 😳
Atsumu just smiles, pulling you closer, his forehead meeting yours
Oh god I'm about to cry 😭
"Please say you'll be mine," he says as you smile and nod
"Yes Sumu!" you say as he kisses you and lifts you up, swinging you in the air as you scream with joy
"Oh thank GOD!" Osamu says as him and the team come walking down the hallway, tears streaming down Suna's eyes as he records what just happened
"I'm so happy right now," he says wiping a tear
"Alright alright! I'm glad it all worked out but now can we please get back to practice?" Kita says ad you and Atsumu nod
He grabs your hand, interlacing your fingers as he pulls you to the gym
You are one lucky girl YN 🥰

i'll stay, ft. atsumu miya
a/n: listen to i'm in love by yerin baek! i got this idea bc of @vindictivtsumu smh
Tumblr media
you awoke to the sound of your alarm, rubbing your eyes as you hurriedly gathering your art supplies, trying to make as little sound as possible. you stared at the sleeping faces of your friends in the cabin, making sure they're asleep.
you stepped out the door, smiling as your eyes adjusted to the light. this. this is what you were here for. this is why you woke up at 5 am in the morning, even though a few more hours of sleep sounded like a treat.
the beach stretched for miles in front of you, the barely rising sun still hitting the ocean waves, drenching the water with yellow hues. soon, the clouds would turn golden, reminding you of a beautiful movie.
you sat in the beach, sketching a picture, listening to the soft sounds of the ocean in front of you. a small semicircle for the sun, the wisps of the clouds,-
"why're you up?" a voice drawled.
you turned, the sudden noise making you flinch. you relaxed as you saw atsumu in front of you, slouching in his hoodie, his eyes barely open.
"what are you doing here?" you asked, tapping the ground. "was looking for you," he said, sitting down on the sand.
you smiled. "didn't you playing with everyone last night though? till 1?" "2," he sighed, wrapping his arms around you.
you chuckled. "shouldn't you be sleeping now?" you said, pressing your lips to his closed lids. "no," he said, resting his head on your shoulder. "i'll stay."

interaction appreciated!

Why Is He So Cute?
- Always trailing behind you happily
- He says to everyone that he couldn’t see himself with anyone else but you
- He has this angelic smile that makes your heart skip a beat
- When you walk to class together he zones out when you’re talking because he’s too focused on how cute you look getting excited talking abt whatever it is you’re passionate abt
- He shamelessly says the most embarrassing stuff aloud to people and acts as if his intention wasn’t to fluster you even though you very well know it was
- He always has to plan what he’s going to say to you and memorize it because he doesn’t want to come across as unconfident to you
- He has these puppy dog like eyes that have a hold on you
- How he becomes really happy when you tell him he did a good job
- The way he gets lights up when you ask for a kiss
- He is impressed by smallest things like how “cool” you looked
- He’ll say “wow you looked so cool just now! I’ll do my best too!” when you literally just spiked 1 volleyball or something simple like that
- He’ll see you from afar, notice he’s walking in your direction, freeze then sprint the other way because he’s too shy to talk to you
- He has these wide eyes when he’s looking at something curiously
- He wasn’t a big fan of being just friends with you…let’s be honest, he wasn’t a fan at all
- If he gets a snack he always gets one for you too and is excited to eat with you so he buys lots of snacks
Atsumu, Bokuto, Hinata, Oikawa, Nishinoya, Futakuchi, Kuroo, Terushima, Hoshiumi

Needle & Thread
An Azumane Asahi x reader short
Word count: 2.2k+
Rating:AAF (azumane asahi fluff)
Warnings: none, a little ooc moments from Sawamura & Suga//unspecified gender!// fluff
Tumblr media
I just wanted to say perhaps Azumane having a crush is something I’d love to read about every once in a while. Also, this is how I think he hypes himself up mentally when yn is around
All was well in the home economics lecture hall at the community college you were attending this semester. The fashion course you had signed up for had been advertised as an introductory one and though you may have been one of the youngest designers among your peers, yet your desk mate was another student definitely from another part of your city.
You were always intrigued by both his designs as much as he was enamored with your use of unique materials when you had much simpler projects due. Perhaps it was your use of felt and wirework that inspired him to create an ornate jewelry set for that week and maybe he inspired you to create a three piece suit in hunter green and navy. You each had received praise from both your peers as well as the professor who hummed with a curt smile during the review.
Now, as the chimes on campus begin their late night tune to announce the hour, you settle into your seat and wonder about the young man whose seat has remained vacant for the second week in a row. It’s not like him to be absent, you wonder. Yet you recall him mentioning his volleyball team had won all necessary matches in their prefecture. Your professor drones on with the attendance list since art courses, especially design ones at that, where time is of the essence. Your sketchbook along with your personal tablet holds the keys of the past designs you had breathed into existence. As your attention is drawn back to the front of the classroom’s whiteboard, a singular word was written there: BIRDS.
The hell are we supposed to do with this? You think. Funnily enough, as you were zoning out, your hand had already picked up the stylus and you had already begun making several shapes that resembled crows’ feathers. The fact you remembered your deskmate had a little white crow plush on his sewing fabric bag to show ‘school pride’ must have been the silver lining when you continued to sketch a few more key components for the dress you will attempt to create.
An hour goes by and pretty soon you had a more refined sketch of the completed outfit. Your professor stops by your desk as you add a few more details thus tapping their index finger on the desk to announce their presence. You slower your stylus strokes of color to give your professor your undivided attention.
“Fascinating design as always,” they say.
“Thanks,” you reply. Holding up your tablet, you give a brief summary of the birds you chose to showcase with the completion of the project.
“Hmm… a crow and a pheasant, huh?”
“Yeah, I was thinking maybe adding some hints of sapphire satin or even amethyst tulle to the bodice…”
“Given your design, I suggest a more pliable fabric, but if sophisticated chic is what you were aiming for, try playing with nylon and pleather fabrics for those details,” was their advice.
You nod.
“By the way, y/n,” the professor pauses before moving on to the next workstation. “I heard Azumane-san’s team won against Inarizaki today. You ought to text him later.”
You feel the blush creeping up the back of your neck as you realize your professor’s intention on feeding you that intel. Your brain seems to have short circuited as you hear their voice give other advice a few work stations ahead. Nervously swallowing the pooled saliva in your mouth, you feign a cough as you shake your head side to side to reset your focus.
Class wraps up about twenty or so minutes later. On the train ride home, you decide to search the intramural results. There in the black white newspaper sports pages for the Tokyo City News you see the results from today’s match. You swipe that article away and immediately open your text message chain with Azumane, A.
It’s forty-five minutes post the Karasuno coaches’ “Light’s Out” call when suddenly Azumane’s phone lights up with your name flashing across the screen. He immediately picks up though the others the ace shares the room with suddenly scramble to take possession of his phone.
“Oh ho? Is that text from the illustrious y/n?” Sugawara wriggles his eyebrow.
“Or is it from your mom this time reminding you to buy her a souvenir?” Sawamura teases in a light hearted tone.
The fact Sugawara brings up your name so casually causes Azumane’s ears to sort of turn a magenta hue.
“And so what if it’s y/n?”
He unlocks his phone to read the texts you sent him. The first was fine:
-Y/L/N, Y. (23:13): Professor Z told me you had a game today. Missed having you in class tonight. Congrats on winning against Inarizaki! :]
His phone vibrates in his hands again after staring at your text for about five more minutes. There is something about your cheerful demeanor radiating over there words you sent that make Azumane’s face flush—perhaps when he returns to class he’d muster up the courage to ask you to walk home together. Maybe even pick up some hot cocoa at the combini near the train station by the college.
-Y/L/N, Y. (23:25): Been home for about an hour or so now. You must be tired. Is it too late to call?
“So, before you mentally shut down for the night Asahi,” Sugawara sits up on his mat with his arms crossed over his chest. “What did your crush say this time?”
“Suga!” Sawamura used his eldest sibling's tone this time thus forcing a playful yet sincere apology to come from the vice captain. “Ya can’t just blurt out facts like that aloud. I mean sure our Asahi is tall, devilishly handsome, and our charming ace finally has someone who caught his eye…”
“Y/N w-wants to call me,” Azumane’s voice is a mixture of excitement and nerves. It’s eerily similar to the first time he attended practice again in the dingy gym back on campus, yet glancing back to the way he was then versus now. He slides his phone in his pajamas pocket while reaching for his hoodie at the foot of his bed.
With an abrupt and politely uttered, “I’m headed out for a bit.” Azumane grabs his hoodie and slides the balcony door open. He slips on a pair on house slippers as well. Tokyo and the neighborhood they’re staying in seems to glow in the wintery haze. Once the door is closed behind him, Azumane taps his reply. He presses the green arrow only to be greeted with a delivered message under his reply. A couple minutes go by as the winter wind whistles through the barren tree branches in surrounding the hoteru when a familiar ringtone designated just for you reaches his ears.
Meanwhile, Sugawara and Sawamura updates the rest of the team of their ace’s latest installment rightfully dubbed by Yamaguchi: ‘love but make it fashion’. Even Kiyoko and Hitoka-chan were included in this team chat. Though by now most of the team had begun to drift off one by one prior to Azumane dialing your number.
Azumane breathes your name with a visible puff of air.
“Asahi,” there’s a cheerful register in your tired voice. It’s like a warm invitation to stay awake for a little while longer. “I’m surprised you’re still awake at this hour. Shouldn’t you be asleep by now?”
“Yeah, but I figured you could fill me in on what I missed in class today?”
“Oh,” you sound a bit disappointed. “Professor’s word today was BIRDS. It’s the theme for the next project.”
“Ah, I see.”
You hum into the receiver. “You played a really great game today. Saw some highlights on the late night sports recap on t.v. Almost makes me want to ditch classes tomorrow and cheer your team on, haha.”
He chuckles after regaining his composure because surely you’re flirting with him right now, yes? Absolutely.
“We play Nekoma next.”
You suppose it’s your turn to be a bit bold. A small smile tugs at your lips. You hear the wind whistling in the background.
“Is that an invitation I heard from my dear deskmate?”
“Yes.”
He hears you struggle with the sheets as you sit up bolt straight in your bed. A soft thud he imagines came from you clumsily hitting the back of your head on the wall by accident and a curse escapes your lips as you feel your heart beat increase.
“Smooth ass motherfucker,” you mutter through gritted teeth. “When do you play?”
Azumane on the other side leans against the railing trying to suppress his laughter. A few more minutes go by before your call ends with an open ended promise of attending the match in a few days time.
Come the morning, you awake with a bit of a headache. Your phone rests charging by the end table in your room along with a glass of water your parent typically leave behind before reporting for work. Across your bed on the wall located next to your computer desk is a rip off calendar themed with Chococat imagery. You realize you forgot to tear it off the night before, so as you mentally replay the conversation you had with your fashion course classmate, you hum blissfully to yourself until you pick up your phone with wide eyes.
“Oh shit!” you whisper yell into the air. “No way! It can’t be that late. Right? Arugh!”
Kicking off your sheets and tearing off the date off the calendar, you rush into the hallway to wash your face in the guest bathroom of your residence. Afterwards, you decide to dress rather quickly opting for the jeans and crew neck sweater along with a beanie to keep your ears warm when you leave. You knew attempting a day trip to Tokyo would be an ambitious endeavor, but if your parent can do it, so can you. You send a text quickly after sorting out a travel drawstring backpack complete with bottles of water, a few almond butter and jam sandwiches, your wireless headphones, your Canon AE-1 35mm camera, and external battery pack.
Leaving a note behind on the kitchen counter for your parent in case they would eventually blow up your phone like the first and last time you left for a day trip (to go shopping with materials at the beginning of the semester-long course) with a girl friend from your school.
The total amount of travel time to reach Tokyo, more specifically the sports arenas where the Intramural Spring Tournament for Volleyball was held, had been estimated to be a solid ninety-minute commute via trains. Apparently luck was on your side since most trains had been running on time. Renewing and purchasing the student monthly pass at the automated ticket kiosk had been a breeze and now you stand on the designated platform; you wonder if this rush of excitement and nerves will be as close as you’d ever feel to what Azumane felt when he (and by extension his team) walks on to the court. Once you arrive at your final stop (since your trip included two transfer trains), you walk off the up escalator and breathe the bustling capital city warming air. You see a sign for the local coffee haus: within a matter of fifteen minutes, you leave with a warmed bagel in a small brown bag and a cup of coffee. You follow a few cheerful students who came to cheer on their classmates; you figure you’re headed in the right direction when you bump into a voluptuous blonde who seems to have a very unique outfit despite the weather.
“Whoops, sorry miss,” you apologize as politely as you could.
The blonde raises an eyebrow at you as if to challenge you, then something changes in her demeanor as she extends her hand to you.
“You came to watch Karasuno beat Nekoma, right?”
You sip your coffee and nod. The bag with your bagel crinkles in your other hand.
“C’mon, I’ll take you to the arena where they’re playing. I’m gonna go cheer for my little brother,” she adds.
You bite into your bagel quickly before she calls out over her shoulder, “Tanaka Saeko. Call me Saeko-nei.”
“Y/L/N.”
The walk to the arena doors isn’t that far, nor is it too long. Saeko fills you in on what you had missed since the tournament began (or rather when she arrived with a few of the neighborhood ex-volleyball club members) to formulate the Karasuno cheer club. She had dubbed themselves that considering how the school was once considered powerhouse.
“Flightless crows?” you continue eating your bagel while pondering upon the insulting title. Saeko points to the banner hanging over the railing with the team’s motto: FLY. You crumple the now empty bag and toss it in the next trash bin while you still sip your beverage.
“Crows aren’t flightless creatures,” you mention to Saeko when she joins you in the second row of the bleachers. “They’re quite intelligent. Besides, a flock is known as a murder. How flightless were they?”
For once, the blonde remains quiet. She has a pensive look to her face, so much so that when other members of the neighborhood alumni come to join you two, one of them asks Saeko who you are.
“Oh, this is Y/L/N-san. They sort of bumped into me on the street on the way here, past the bakery. Mentioned they wanted to watch the match.”
“So you just tagged along?” the man with glasses and a kind smile asks. “Y’ know you shouldn’t really talk to strangers, haha.”
You shrug, mentioning that if it weren’t for his blonde friend you’d be even more lost and would probably be at the arena when a good chunk of the matches were done for the day. The man nods as he adjusts his glasses.
“I wanted to see what a classmate of mine does with his spare time. Attending fashion courses isn't cheap either,” you stick with the truth. “Besides, I go to a different school; one where a few of our sports team clubs were cut due to lack of funding. Unfortunately volleyball was one of them.”
“That’s awful, sorry to hear that,” the man continues. He turns to see Saeko busy conversing with another alum along with the rest of the drum line. “You want to sit here to stay a in the next section over? You might see your friend better from there.”
He points to the front row a few meters away close to the railing. It’s close enough to the side of the net where you would presume Azumane’s team would play.
Meanwhile, in the locker room provided for Karasuno today, an entirely different conversation was happening.
“Did Y/L/N contact you?” Nishinoya wonders.
“You better not freeze out there if you see ‘em,” Sawamura teases.
On the other side of the bench, two first years are having another tussle of words as well that had little and or nothing to do with trying to Azumane to calm down.
“Quit it boke!”
“You’re going to break my brain even more Bakayama!”
Azumane for the life of him decides to silence the room and his fellow teammates with a sharp squeak of confusion in a poor attempt to mask his incoming text tone. Funnily enough, though the majority of the club had already changed into their traditional ebony uniforms, hearing their ace squeak made them shut up rather quickly.
-Y/L/N, Y. (10:59): do your best. I know you and your team deserve to win, Azumane-san. Win or lose, you’re still an ace. [ : oh! And a damned good designer.
A strange sense of calm comes over Azumane when his shoulder receives a gentle yet affirming squeeze by Kiyoko who just nods with a small smile. Surely everyone knows of you, but considering how their friend currently stares at his sent reply to your message with a mere thumbs up emoji accompanied by a ‘Thenks’ line a child on the morning of their birthday, they knew they might need to cover for him for the first few plays of the match.
Lo and behold the telecasters begin their normal routine checks not too far from the court you’re standing above. The anchor men are having their microphones hooked on their lapels when a different chime to announce the hour goes off. You watch as both teams enter the court with to begin their warmup routines. It doesn’t take too long for you to open your bag to pull out your camera and watch as a few members of your classmate’s team take to the air to hit the airborne ball back over the net. Others on both sides of the court continue with their stretches. You snap a few photos here and there to test out the original settings, making adjustments as needed.
The game begins with a shrill call of a whistle. You hear the team chant and when you lower your camera for a split second, the player in the black jersey with a bright “2” on the front grabs Azumane’s attention; with a swift nod in your direction, your eyes meet briefly.
“Holy shit,” the ace who rarely curses suddenly becomes nervous all over again.
You just mouth out a quick “focus & excel,” with a raised fist.
And for once in his young adult life, Azumane Asahi chooses to embody the very definition of those words.
“Ready?” Sawamura asks him with a smirk.
“Let’s play,” Azumane chuckles preparing to receive the first serve of the match.

Summary: As you continue your new journey in Nekoma High the chance to tour around Tokyo appeared; joining three cats (Kenma surprises everyone by willingly joining), and owl and Bokuto.
Kenma x reader; Haikyuu x reader [Platonic]
First Year: Inarizaki
Second Year: Part 5; Part 6; Part 7...
The first class passes like normal, leading into the first break, so you stand up to stretch your legs a bit. Kenma, like usual, was looking at his PSP, this time with a more concentrated look as he plays.
“Hi Kenma, want some cookies? I have a lot of them left. What are you playing today?
“Thanks. Mario kart” he shows you the screen “ehh… do you…” he stops as he looks around both of you, finding your classmates looking at the two of you with curious eyes
“Oh, you don’t like being stared at, huh? I’m going to go, sorry” you say knowing that the reason they were looking was most likely because the new foreigner girl was talking to the shy boy like nothing.
“No, no, it’s not your fault…want to play a round?” he asks you looking at his desk
“Sure, I like Mario kart. Let me sit by the wall so there’s less people looking at us” you pass behind him and sit, since there was some space between his desk and the wall. He passes you his PSP as soon as you sat, turning around a little to see you play “I’ve never use this, how do I do stuff?”
“Oh, yeah. With this one you move, this one you use the items, and with that one you use the turbo. The rest is pretty intuitive” he explains as you start the game, him staying quiet
“Yay! Look, I won!”
“Not bad. Do you like other games?” he asks with the biggest smile you have seen from him
“I used to like eh…” you try to answer while the next round starts, but end up staying quiet because you were concentrating too much. He doesn’t say anything about it, so you continue in a comfortable silence. You snap out of it once the game finished, finally looking at him “Sorry, what?”
“It’s okay, I asked what games you like”
“Oh, yeah, I really liked...Animal Crossing, I believe the name was”
“This one?” He asks taking the console and putting the game.
“Yeah! I loved that game”
“You don’t have where to play?”
“Nope, I was thinking on getting one of this tomorrow at Tokyo, but I don’t know anything about them”
“I can help you…If you want, of course” he looks at the floor once again
“Sure, how? You can come with us if you want”
“I don’t like going out that much”
“Oh, I get it, if this wasn’t my first time, I probably wouldn’t go out either. Why does everything has to be pretty here? It’s not fair”
“You sound like a foreigner” Kenma looks at you with a playful smile
“I wonder why, this is only my second year in Japan, and I was busy being a manager on my first one”
“You’re excited then”
“Very”
“Why don’t you come to my house after practice and I tell you everything I know, I can help you find a good price too. We live in front of each other anyway”
“Okay, I’m sure you know more about them than me. Can I see your island?”
“Sure” he passes you his PSP once again, the soft smile appearing.
“Eat something meanwhile, I barely see you eat”
“…Fine” he takes a cookie out, starting eating while you were walking around and he was explaining some things about it. You were having so much fun that you didn’t notice Yamamoto, Yaku and Kuroo outside of the classroom, looking at you with smiles on their faces.
The next classes pass quickly, now you are going to the table to eat lunch with Kenma looking at his game.
“Yn-chan! Hi” Lev calls you excited; Kenma scrunches his face at the scream, so he slightly pushes you so you sit next to the tall boy instead of him.
“Hi Lev, how are you?”
“Good! I’m excited, you’re going to see our team play!”
“I’m excited too. Don’t spoil anything though, let me enjoy the surprise for once”
“Why are you excited anyway? You’re not playing, you barely can receive the ball” adds Yaku
“Don’t say that in front of Yn-chan!! I’m working on it!”
“I’m going to know anyway, you know?”
“I bet even Yn-chan can play better than you, Lev” says Yamamoto sitting with his lunch.
“Do you know how to play chibi-chan?” asks Kuroo
“Yeah, the basics at least, Tsumu wanted to teach me; and if I didn’t say yes, he would have whine until I did it”
“Wait, Miya Atsumu taught you?” you nod while drinking some juice “Damn, then you’re miles better than Lev. Can you join the team instead of being our manager?”
“Nah, I like being on the side, I learned a lot and that helped me to break down the other teams plays”
“So this means we have two brains in the team now? Kenma-san plans strategies and Yn-san can figure out the way the other team play” asks Inuoka
“Sounds like it, but that’s only if chibi-chan joins, she still isn’t our official manager” says Kuroo looking at you
“I thought it was obvious that I wanted, I wouldn’t be here otherwise”
“And with who would you be eating lunch then? You only know Kenma and I, and that’s because we’re neighbors”
“I don’t need to hang out with someone. I’m not an extrovert, I like being alone”
“Wait, really? It’s so easy to talk to you, it was so hard to make Kenma talk to us” adds Yamamoto as you shrug
“How did you become friends with the Miyas and Suna then? You four sound inseparable” asks Yaku
“I think that the only reason they insisted so much was because they thought it would be cool to have a foreign friend. And then we kinda just…clicked”
“And now you can’t escape from them?”
“Pretty much. But I love them a lot, I wouldn’t escape anyway” You continue talking comfortably with the whole team for the rest of the lunch break.
The bell sounds indicating that classes have ended, so you pack your things up and go out with Kenma, arriving at the gym going to change into your gym clothes. When you go out, you started doing the typical manager things, filling bottles, taking things out, etc, when the coach calls you, now with Kuroo, Kenma and Kai by his side.
“Yn-kun, the other team should be arriving really soon. I know that you have done this, so I don’t need to explain anything, right?”
“Nah, I got this. I got some notes from the teams we, I mean, Inarizaki played against, maybe they can help”
“You keep notes of every team?” ask Kuroo
“Not in detail, but the important stuff. I only go in detail when it comes to my team”
“So you have Inarizaki’s info in there too. Interesting, interesting” says Kuroo
“I’m not giving you information on how they play until you actually play with them. Anyways, who are you playing against today?”
“It’s a really good school, one of the best in Tokyo actually…”
“CHIBI-CHAN!!” you hear a scream, making you turn around only to find Bokuto running to you with his arms open.
“BokutoAghh” you were lifted from the ground before you could finish, you grabbing Bokuto’s shoulders to stabilize yourself while laughing.
“Bokuto-san, we talked about this. Don’t squish her too much” Akaashi appears behind him
“I know, I just miss you, chibi-chan” he squishes you into his arms before putting you down
“I missed you too, but you don’t have to twirl around every time you see me”
“Sorry” he pulls you for another hug
“Bokuto-san, let me say hi to the rest”
“Okay, okay. Kuroo! How are you? I heard-” Bokuto moved away to talk with your captain while you go to Akaashi, the girls and the rest of the team before your coach calls you, all of Nekoma waiting alongside.
“Well, I was going to tell you who they were, but it seems that you know them already. Nekoma and Fukurodani have practice matches regularly, alongside other schools, so they all know each other too. I’m going to talk to their coach before starting. Excuse me”
“How do YOU know them?” asks Kuroo
“They went to Inarizaki for a practice match”
“You seem close to Bokuto”
“It’s Bokuto-san, it’s hard to not like him”
“Chibi-chan!” Bokuto passes his arms through your shoulders, back hugging you “We totally should go to Tokyo now. Akaashi, the girls and I can show you around! You guys should come too!”
“I’m actually going tomorrow with my family”
“We can join too!”
“Bokuto-san, we can’t just join a family outing like that”
“Akaashi! Don’t be so pessimistic. We can show them around! Right Chibi-chan?”
“You can join if you want to”
“SEE! Our Chibi-chan is the best” says Bokuto while lifting you one more time “are we all going?”
“We can’t, sorry Yn-chan, Kaori and I already had plans, we reserved and all” Yuki says apologetic
“I’ll go, I need to make sure Yn-chan and her family don’t die” Akaashi jokes
“AKAASHI! I wouldn’t let that happen” he pouts “Anyways, you guys?”
“Why does it feel like you’re the one visiting Tokyo and not Chibi? I’m going, if you want to be there by 8 we need to leave earlier than that. Plus, I need to make sure you actually arrive to the city” Kuroo smirks at you
“What makes you think I need your help?”
“You will get lost without any of us” you knew that he was right, and he clearly knew it too
“I want to go too!” Lev adds
“Can you even wake up that early on a weekend?”
“Kuroo-san! I will be there Yn-chan, I promise” Lev looks to you excited. The rest of the team excuse themselves, since they had stuff to do or just wanted to rest.
“So, Lev, Kuroo-san, Bokuto-san and Akaashi are going?” you ask confused
“I’ll go too” Kenma whispers quietly, he was looking at his phone the whole time, not saying anything
“KENMA?! You…you are offering yourself…to go out? That early?” exclaims Kuroo surprised, everyone on Nekoma, even some of Fukurodani, had shocked faces
“I promised to help her with something” he looks at the floor, in an attempt to hide from the eyes on him
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to, Ken. You already told me that you don’t like going out” you say to him in a soft, understanding voice, making him look at you with a little smile
“It’s okay, I want to…your face will be funny”
“Oh, so you’re just going to make fun of me. I see how it, sorry for wanting to get to know your country, you ungrateful bastard” you pretend to be offended and making him chuckle, action that makes everyone on Nekoma even more shocked.
“They grow up so fast” Yaku puts a hand on his chest, Kai agreeing silently
“Ok, so 5 of you are going then. Anyways, go stretch, you came here to do a practice match. Go, go, go!”
“You heard our manager, let’s go!” adds Kuroo
Both teams start going to stretch, Kenma asking you to take care of his phone before going. When the coaches are back from their talk, the girls and you had everything ready, just were just waiting for them to start.
“I should have expected that everything will be ready, Yn-chan, you’re already exceeding my expectations” says the coach arriving to the team “You guys already know that this is a strong team. Like always, remember to connect. Yn-chan, do you want to say something?”
“Me? Ehh…the last time I saw them play was at last year nationals. I’m sure Bokuto-san got better at line shots; he was quite inconsistent with them. I haven’t seen you play properly, so I can’t say anything about you”
“Got it Chibi-chan, we can cut his angle shots to see how good he has gotten”
“Sounds good”
“Let’s get together guys!” says Kuroo, the team making a circle putting their arms at the center, looking at Kenma “We are like the blood in our veins, we must flow without stopping. Keep the oxygen moving so that our ‘brain’ can operate at his best!”
“Ooh you have a speech! Cute!”
You knew that Nekoma was known for their defense, but it still surprised you how Yaku was able to dig a powerful serve like nothing, sending it right where Kenma was. Kenma stays there slouching while waiting for the ball, setting it to Kuroo for a quick pass and scoring a point. A few points later you noticed Nekoma’s way of playing, they always find a way to dig the ball, sending it perfectly to where Kenma was; their blocks, while they may look basic, where in really specific places to help Yaku receive.
“So…Kenma doesn’t move that much?” You ask the coach
“No, unless it’s fully necessary to keep the ball in the game. The team always try to send the ball to an ideal spot”
“Their defense it’s amazing, even the ones that they can’t properly dig they are in the right place”
“Have you notice something about Fukurodani, Yn-chan?”
“They seem like usual, Bokuto-san seems to be in a good shape today, he seems a bit anxious though, probably wants to start using line shots” And like he was hearing you, Akaashi sets to Bokuto, who does a really amazing line shot that ends up barely being out and making the coach call for a time out.
“That was so cool” you whisper while waiting for the boys come back. You give them their bottles and some towels before reaching Kenma, giving him his bottle “so you don’t like moving even in games, huh?”
“I don’t have the biggest stamina” he sat on the bench while sipping his water
“Yn-chan tell them what you think” calls you the coach
“Bokuto-san seems to be in a good form today, but he’s a bit anxious, probably wants to do line shots now, I know he’s been practicing them a lot lately and wanted to use them in a proper match. The last one would have been an amazing one if it wasn’t out. Also, he seems to be pointing over Kenma’s head on the blocks”
“I noticed that too, let’s wait for him to get used to point over my head, then Kuroo and I could change places to block him. Also, we can continue to block only his cross shots for now and then we change into blocking his line shots"
“We got plan then, let’s go!”
The match continues, Nekoma being a point ahead at 19 – 18. The guys execute the plan perfectly, blocking Bokuto a few times making the first set go to Nekoma. You went around with their bottles while Kenma sits down one more time in the bench.
“Have you ever thought of putting your hair up when you play? So, you know, more air comes?”
“I don’t like when my field of view is too wide… I mean... don’t like when… when”
“I know what field of view is. Let me throw some air to you” you say fanning him with the notebook
“Thanks”
The second set starts with Kenma serving, his serve is normal but it always goes to a tough spot to cover. Despite being really good at defending, their offense was quite average, not bad but not the best; but they seem very aware of it, because all the strategies are made to use the best of their strength. The second set goes to Fukurodani, ending it with an amazing cross shot by Bokuto.
The third set goes similar to the last one, both teams playing at the best of their abilities. Fukurodani has the set point now, Akaashi gives the ball to Bokuto, who does a cross shot but it’s stopped by Yaku, who digs it a little shorter than usual. Kenma has to move to set it up and gives it to Fukunaga, but Fukurodani's libero digs it again. Suddenly you notice that Bokuto's aura shifted, silently demanding the ball. Akaashi noticed it too, setting for him and making Bokuto do an extremely sharp line shot, marking the win for Fukurodani.
While you go your team, you hear Bokuto talking “OOHH! Akaashi did you see that? Wasn’t that cool?! Chibi-chan!! Did you see that?!” Bokuto looks at you like an excited puppy
“That was soo cool Bokuto-san!”
“I know, but it was pure luck this time!”
“Don’t take it away from you, you still did it” you continue to fan Kenma, who looks just exhausted
“Thanks, chibi-chan!!” he gives you a tight hug
“Aghh Bokuto-san! You’re sweating!”
“Stop trying to steal our manager, you owl! If anything she should be hugging us, we lost” adds Kuroo, pulling you slightly by his side
“Well, I met her first! I deserve the hug!” Bokuto holds into your other hand
“Bokuto-san, your team is waiting for you” you say before the tension rises
“Ah yeah! Talk to you guys later!”
“Well done boys, you did pretty good today; it’s hard to win against Fukurodani, but you did amazing giving them a good fight. I’m surprised by the strategies that came up and how good they worked, which means they will work in future matches too. Yn-chan what did you think of the team?”
“I knew that Nekoma was good at defense, but I honestly never expected to be this good. You guys receive spikes from Bokuto-san that are really hard to receive. Also, it’s amazing to watch you keeping the ball alive no matter what. Although I do think that the offense could be better... It wasn’t weak, please don’t get me wrong but…”
“No, no it’s good to be honest Yn-chan” the coach interrupts your small rant “it’s good that you tell us this, you were the manager of a really strong team. In a way I do agree, while our defense is really good, our offense stays short if we compare it to Fukurodani, for example. It’s not something that we can change from one day to another, however when new bloods come in, changes will too. For now, let’s continue perfecting the plays that we have and make the best out of them”
“Yes sir!”
“And Yn-chan, at first I was hesitant to have a manager because we don’t really need one, but you were able to prove me wrong. You and Kenma can be perfect duo to help us win. So, if you want to be our manager, you’re welcome”
“Of course I want to, it was my intention from the beginning”
“Then I officially welcome to our team chibi-chan, although I already consider you one” Kuroo ruffles your hair
While the teams were stretching, the girls come by your side, talking about everything that you missed since your last meeting. It's was already late when the match ended, so you quickly organized everything to wrap up.
“Bye chibi-chan! See you tomorrow!” Bokuto hugs you one more time
“Bye Bokuto-san, see you tomorrow Akaashi”
And with that Fukurodani enter their bus and leave.
After that Nekoma takes their things leaving the school, not before giving you a warm welcome. Kenma, Kuroo and you start walking together to the nearest station, Kenma on his game while you talk to Kuroo. You arrived at your house at around 7:15 pm, Kuroo leaving right away to help his grandma, leaving Kenma and you behind.
“Do I still go to your house?” you ask
“If you want to…we can still browse stores for the best price” he says when you go to his front door “I have everything on my room”
“Let’s go then…you’re alone?”
“Yes, my parents work until late” you enter his bedroom, which had a bunch of stuff on it.
“Damn, you have so many games, another console, and a computer? How do you have so much money?”
“My parents bought me some stuff, since you know, they aren’t at home that much. I also earn some money doing some videos and uploading them to YouTube…”
“Ahh, I see…wait, how do you put games into the psp?” the question pops up at seeing the whole collection he has. His soft smile appears again while explaining you the basics of the console. You sit near his computer when he browses around the stores looking for the best deal.
“This one is more expensive, but it has more memory which is useful in the long run. I don’t know if your parents will be okay with the money though”
“Let me ask. But even if they think it’s too expensive I can buy it myself, I also have some money. They’re much cheaper than in my country anyway”
“I can put some of the games I have too, so you would save a lot more with that”
“I was already counting on you for setting it up. Ken, you sure want to go? You told me you don’t like people; I don’t want you to be uncomfortable” you ask carefully
“I’ll be fine, I can deal with it once in a while. Thanks for worrying though”
“If you say so” you say. You stayed in silence for a few seconds, but you could feel his eyes on you. You caught him off guard when you turned around, making him look away to hide his face. For some reason neither of you feel uncomfortable, the only thing interrupting your trance was the ring of your phone “...my mom says that it’s fine”
“That’s cool…want to play something before going?”
“I thought you’ll never ask, any idea?”
“Mario kart? I want to beat you” he smiles playfully
“Excuse me? Rude. I don’t know how good you are, but don’t you dare to look down on me” you joke
“I’m not…I just know I’m better”
“Oh, fuck you” you make him chuckle. You stayed there playing for a long time, lots of laughs from both of you until you decided to put your controller down while looking at him, who had a relaxed smile “how much do you play this? It feels like you know every detail in the maps”
“Just admit that I’m better”
“No”
“You are good though. Second is not bad, you will definitely beat Kuroo”
“I’ll take that, I guess” you straighten your legs, staying in silence for a minutes
“This is nice” he says, making you look at him confused at the sudden words, he blushes a little and looks at the floor, almost as if he didn’t mean to say it out loud “Sorry…I didn’t…”
“It is nice” you whisper before looking at your phone to see the time, 9.20 pm “I need to go though”
“Yeah, yeah” he stands up, going to his front door “Tomorrow at 7.00 then?”
“Yeah, that’s what Kuroo said. See you tomorrow, Ken”
“See you tomorrow, Yn”
You cross the street to go to your house, your mom making some snacks when you arrive. “Did you go to…Kenma’s house?”
“Yeah, he helped me find the console that I sent you”
“Kenma is the one with yellow hair, right?” you nod eating some fruit “Ahh, he seemed quiet. You were similar to him before the twins and Suna made you more comfortable talking”
You go to your room and look at your phone while laying down, noticing that you were added into two group chats, one of the Nekoma team, and other with the guys that will go tomorrow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The messages continue to appear, mostly from Bokuto and Lev about places you should visit.
+++
You woke up early the next morning, but despite being so early, the weather was already hot, so you decided to put some shorts and a t-shirt on. The whole reason to go there so early was to avoid as many people as possible and to come back relatively early.
“Man, it's 7:00 am, how the fuck is so hot already?” You mutter while waiting outside
“Hi chibi-chan, looking good”
“Hi Kuroo” you say noticing his eyes moving up and down “don’t look at me like that”
“Sorry, sorry. You look really pretty today chibi-chan”
“Today?” You joke when you noticed his red ears
“Extra pretty today; sorry, got distracted” adds with a cheeky smile
“I’m regretting letting you go”
“Don’t be like that Chibi-chan, it’s all with good intentions”
“How are the two of you not tired?” You hear from behind Kuroo, Kenma appearing with his eyes barely opened
“It’s called sleeping Kenma, maybe if you didn’t stay up until so late playing games you would know that” Kuroo says making Kenma roll his eyes.
“Did you sleep last night Ken?”
“Yes, I did”
“How much?”
“…2 hours”
“2 hours? When you knew you had to wake up early? No wonder you’re tired”
“I’m not…” he starts, but stops when he finally looks at you, his eyes widening and a hint of blush appearing on his face.
“You’re not what Kenma? Looks like someone got speechless” Kuroo smirks at Kenma’s reaction
“Should I go to put some pants on” you ask to yourself
“You look...Pretty Yn” Kenma says looking away
“Thanks Ken. This is how you compliment people Kuroo”
“I said the same thing!”
“Ok, we can go. Hello guys, thanks for coming with us” Your mom says coming out with your brother
“Hi miss, it’s our pleasure” greets Kuroo before you start walking, Kuroo talking with your mom while Kenma talked with your brother about a new game
“YNNN-CHAN!” you heard a scream that made everyone flinch. You saw a tall, grey hair boy coming towards you running, crushing you into a hug “Yn-chan you look so good! It’s this your family? Hi, Kenma-san, Kuroo-san!”
“Relax kid” says Kuroo, slightly annoyed. Kenma face just scrunches while moving behind you
“Thank you Lev, but you don’t have to scream; and yes, this is my family”
“Hi, I’m Lev, nice to meet you” he greets with his puppy like energy, making your mom laugh a little
“Is it too late to back out?” whispers Kenma next to you
“Yes, I asked you yesterday”
You enter into the fairly empty train, Lev and your brother talking about something while Kenma, Kuroo and you are standing by the door side by side. You arrived at the station and went out, seeing the two owls standing right outside besides the stairs.
“CHIBI-CHAN!” as soon as you step outside of the station Bokuto moves to give you a hug
“Bokuto-san, you saw me yesterday”
“I’m excited to show you around! Hi guys, Hi chibi-chan family! I’m Bokuto!” Bokuto goes to say hi to your family
“Sorry to drag you here Akaashi” you move next to Akaashi
“I offer myself, don’t worry”
“Chibi-chan! You brother is my fan!” Bokuto screams
After all the introductions were done, you’re ready to go out. Your eyes go wide the moment you step outside, amazed since it was your first time seeing it live. Bokuto, Kuroo and Lev drag all of you through the city, making you take photos and selfies with different things; while Akaashi and Kenma make sure that it doesn’t go out of control. At some point you and Kenma entered the store where the console was while the others went to find a place to eat before going back. You had never seen Kenma so comfortable, smiling while he showed you some games.
After lunch you head back to your houses, saying bye to everyone as you and the two cats walk towards your houses
“Thank you for coming with us guys”
“Of course, chibi-chan, it was a fun time. It’s fun to see how a foreigner reacts to something that we’re used to see”
“You have no idea how different it is. It was so pretty” you look at Kenma, who already was looking at you “thanks for going out Ken”
“It was annoying, but it’s okay, it was fun seeing your reactions. I’ll set the console up and give it to you tomorrow”
“Sure”
“By the way, we have practice tomorrow, Saturdays are our day off” adds Kuroo, his eyes lingering to the blonde ones
“The same schedule that I had before, nice. Now go, you guys are probably tired. Ken, try to sleep a little, okay?
“...I’ll try”
“See you tomorrow chibi-chan”
A few hours later, after a nice shower, you sit on the floor putting some things that you bought for your foxes on a package to send to Hyōgo. The last time you were here with them, they couldn’t really go outside and see things that much, so they were just as excited. While doing that a message appears on your phone.
Tumblr media
While you don’t remember telling him that you do videos, it somehow doesn't surprise you; after all, the twins and Suna had appeared many times. You continue talking for a while before getting ready to sleep, closing your eyes with a smile on your face.

Just Friends
Suna Rintarou X Reader 
After overhearing Suna and the others talk about his feelings for Y/N, she’s hoping that they’d be more than just friends. But things aren’t always easy are they?
Warnings: ANGST! Language.
WC: 1915
A/N: It has been so long since I posted something but I finally found the time to finish this! Anyway, here’s more angst I guess??
Likes, Comments, and Reblogs are appreciated!!  💖

The thought of transferring to a different school was absolutely a horrible idea. You dreaded even thinking about it, but it wasn’t your choice to begin with. Your father landed a promotion which meant a relocation to Hyogo. You hated the thought of leaving Tokyo, you had to leave everything behind and adjust to a whole new environment. It worried you, just what type of students were you going to meet there?
Being a transfer student meant you had to at least spend an entire year in any club the school has, and luckily for you the volleyball team was looking for a new manager. That’s where you met the other second years of the team. From the moment you met the trio that was the Miya twins and Suna, you knew that maybe transferring to Inarizaki wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
No, it wasn’t a bad idea...it was a terrible one. How were you supposed to know that you’d develop feelings for the middle blocker? Of course he appeared emotionless and often stirred a little drama or chaos with the twins, but underneath all that was a sweet and caring Suna Rintarou that you had the chance to know on an entirely different level. You easily became close friends with him and much to everyone’s surprise he let down all his walls for you. Atsumu would often tease the two of you but Suna would just brush it off as you two just being friends. FRIENDS. That was all you two were. Or maybe there was still some hope for you…
“Oi, Suna.” Atsumu says as he places the net where it should be. Suna only hums in response before the setter continues. “Ya sure ya don’t like y/n? We all see the way ya look at her ya know.”
“No.” Suna responds bluntly. His back facing the door, not seeing your figure hiding behind it. You bit your lower lip at his response, but you were used to it at this point. He always just ends up saying that you were just a friend to him. 
“Ya sure about that? I mean ya spend a lot of time with her and you treat her differently than all the other girls who want yer attention.” Osamu says as he sets the pole down. 
“Yeah. I don’t like her like that. We’re friends. We’re just friends.”
“Who are ya trying to convince us or yourself?” Osamu teases.
“Shut up.” 
“So if ya say yer just friends then it’ll be fine for ya if someone else asked her out?” Atsumu asked, glancing over at his twin who was leaning by the volleyball poles that he just returned. Suna sighs before he opens his mouth again to speak. 
“Honestly, I wouldn't care.” He answers but Atsumu didn’t miss the way Suna’s jaw clenched at the thought of someone else dating you.
“I don’t believe ya! Just be honest with us for once! We’re your best bros!” Atsumu exclaims. 
“Okay fine, you want me to be honest? Then sure I’ll be honest. But never say that again. It’s…”
“Disgusting? Cringey? Absolutely stupid?” Osamu chimes in before he notices you standing by the door. Atsumu brushes his twin off and urges the middle blocker to continue.
“I’ll admit that I...I think… I may have feelings for someone.” Suna says as he shoves his hands in his shorts. Something he usually did that you thought was cute.You were about to leave when Atsumu opens the door wide, revealing you from your hiding spot.
“Ya heard all that, Y/N?” Atsumu teases as pulls you inside.
“Oh...I...uh… no? Maybe?” You were panicking internally, trying to think of an excuse after being caught eavesdropping. “Okay, look, I just wanted to check if everything was back where they should be but it looked like you boys were having a serious conversation. I didn’t want to intrude.” 
“How much of that did you hear?” Suna asks, eyeing your clearly flustered appearance. 
“Only the last part.” You lie. “I didn’t know you were capable of actually liking someone, Rin.” 
“Oh but y/n, what if it’s you that he likes?” Atsumu teases again, earning a glare from both Suna and Osamu. You give out a fake laugh as a response. 
“Highly unlikely. He’s the one who always says that we’re just friends.” you turn to leave the room with the rest of the boys in tow. Unbeknownst to the group, Suna was relieved that you didn’t find out about his feelings. You did deserve a proper confession after all.
__
A week has passed since that day, and Suna has been acting like nothing happened. To be fair, he does think that you didn’t hear much of their conversation. He still acted the same towards you. Always bringing you your favorite drink for lunch. Always walking you home after practice since you did live a few streets away from each other. You didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but he always stayed to hang out in your place for a while before he went home. It was nice having him around, you thought. 
If only he would confess his feelings, and you’d do the same. Wait what was stopping you from telling him how you feel? After hearing him almost admit to liking you, you had a chance. Right? 
You both were hanging out by the gym for lunch. He brought you your favorite drink as per usual, and you brought some of his favorite snacks with you. You were used to this dynamic of yours by now. He’d pick you up from your shared classroom with Osamu, to take you elsewhere to eat lunch with him without the twins bothering you. There were already rumours circulating the school about the two of you dating, but Suna always dismissed them saying how you were just friends. 
There it was again. That word you’re starting to hate so much now. But despite being just friends, you enjoyed being with him like this. It was moments like this where you can see how he’s being his authentic self. 
 “Hey so you remember the other day in the gym?” Suna starts as he takes a sip from your drink. You pout at him but he just looks away. “When you heard me say that I like someone?”
“Yeah, I do. It was a little vague but I don’t want to pry.” You say staring at the grass on the ground. Heat rising in your cheeks as you feel your heart beating in your chest. Was he about to confess?
“I know. About that...I’ve been thinking this through and I just didn’t want to say anything until I was absolutely sure about how I felt.” He was nervous. Oh god why was he nervous, now you’re feeling nervous. Was he really about to tell you how he feels? 
“Go on, Rin. You can tell me.” You encourage him a bit.
“I know that. It’s just that I don’t want to ruin things between us, but I think I like y-” He stopped talking to take a deep breath before he continued. “I think I like Yui.” 
“Oh Rin, I like y-” you stop yourself at the realization of what he said. You felt your heart drop to your stomach, or was that just your heart breaking? You just couldn’t tell anymore. “Did you just say, Yui? As in Yui, the girl from your class who called me a bitch the first time I met her because she thought I was flirting with Samu?” 
“Yeah. That Yui.” Suna says bashfully. It was uncharacteristic of him to be like this, and yet even with your heart breaking at the revelation, you still found him adorable. God what was wrong with you?
And as if the gods knew how you were feeling the school bell rang alerting you both that lunch break was over. Without a word you got up and went straight to your classroom with Suna. As soon as you got back to your seat next to the gray-haired twin, he noticed how somber you looked. 
“Ya okay?” Osamu asks as he offers you a piece of candy. 
“No.” You answer as you lay your head down on your desk. 
“Well, if ya want to talk about it I’m here.” He says as he reaches for your hand to give it a light squeeze. 
“Thanks, ‘Samu.” You look over at him and notice how he was still holding your hand. He lets go as soon as your eyes land on his, causing a light tint of pink to appear on his cheeks. 
“Sorry. ’bout that.” He apologizes before motioning for you to speak, but before you could say anything your teacher comes in. 
You didn’t have the chance to talk to Samu during classes, and you honestly didn’t feel like talking to anyone at this point. You did just get your heart ripped out. But unfortunately it was time for club activities, which meant having to go to the gym and facing the very reason of your heart being ripped out. 
Before you could even dart out of the classroom, Samu held your wrist and pulled you towards the clubroom. You tried to protest, but it was no use because of how tight his grip was. 
“Okay, talk.” Samu says, looking down at you. “You’ve been out of it since Lunch. Did something happen with Suna?”
With the mention of his name you felt the tears you’ve been trying hard to suppress all afternoon threaten to spill. You took a deep breath before explaining to Samu what happened. Instantly he had his arms around you as he pulled you into his chest, running a hand across your back trying to soothe you.

After lunch Suna made his way back to his class, slumping at his desk. Why didn’t he just admit how he feels? Why did he chicken out? He felt so stupid. He knew he hurt you, the look on your face after he said that he liked Yui said everything. 
What was he even thinking? He didn’t even like Yui as a friend so how could he ever have romantic feelings for her? He just panicked at the moment, thinking that you wouldn’t feel the same way and that he’ll lose you in his life. Suna knew he fucked up and he had to make this right with you. He had to apologize and tell you how he really feels. As soon as the bell rings he’s going to run to the clubroom and confess his feelings for you. 
Big mistake. This was all a big mistake. As soon as he rounds the corner to the clubroom, he sees you wrapped in Samu’s arms. He stopped in his tracks and hid behind the wall before either of you saw him. Was this what Atsumu meant when he asked if it was alright if someone else asked you out? His best friend and the girl he was in love with, together. Was this how you felt when he said he liked Yui? 
Suna didn’t know what to feel. His heart was tightening in his chest as he took a peek at you and Samu again. He definitely fucked up. If only he just admitted his feelings instead of constantly denying them. If only he just said that he didn’t want to be just friends.
