[tobiosmilktea]

hello there. my bday is around the corner and i was wondering how would random haikyuu boys celebrate it with u 💓

how the haikyuu boys will celebrate your birthday with you

a/n: my birthday is just around the corner too so this was really fun to write 🥺 i decided to do it by team bc i couldn’t pick who boys to do lmao

— karasuno

i think they’ll definitely pull some intricate plan that will go wrong one way or another

like a surprise party maybe

it was fs nishinoya and tanaka’s idea to set one up after school in the gym where they tell everyone to pretend to forget your birthday just to add that special element of surprise

but then again, guys like tsukishima and kageyama don’t need to pretend they didn’t know your birthday because they truly didn’t until hinata brought it up to them (don’t take it too personally tho lmao)

speaking of which, hinata almost spoiled the surprise for you if yachi wasn’t there to distract you 💀

despite being the second year’s idea to throw this surprise party for you, it’s primarily the third years doing all the work since tanaka and nishinoya don’t know how to organize a party for shit

poor kiyoko is actually doing all the work while daichi and asahi are putting up decorations with the help of the first years (tsukishima had to be forced tho smh)

yamaguchi and yachi seem like the types to overthink what to get you for a birthday present, probably going all out while kageyama would just buy you your favorite drink and snack from the vending machine near the gym literally five minutes before the surprise

it’s the thought that counts ig

sugawara made your cake as well with the usual message, ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N !!’

and since the surprise party was being held in the gym after practice, everyone had to hurry and clean up before setting out all the decorations. and can i just say, it’s chaotic™️

yachi had to distract you for a good ten minutes by asking you to walk all the way towards the other end of campus to ‘get something’ that didn’t exist in the first place

meanwhile in the gym, the second years were in charge of taking down the volleyball net to replace it with a badly homemade painting with tanaka’s messy ass handwriting wishing you a happy birthday

the third years and first years as mentioned before were setting up decorations, hanging up streamers, setting out balloons, and handing out party poppers

with kiyoko, takeda-sensei, and ukai set out a table for sugawara to place the cake he made for you (which it almost fell cause ennoshita bumped into him)

hinata was also on the lookout if you and yachi were nearby

and when you were, he shout so loudly that even you heard down the hall

finishing up any last minute details, the team sets out their presents for you with their party poppers in hand before shouting, “SURPRISE!!”

it’s all fun and games until nishinoya accidentally released confetti at your face by accident

he made up for it with his present though lmao

— aoba johsai

saying that seijoh probably won’t do anything as big as a surprise party is a complete lie

knowing oikawa and the moment he found out it was going to be your birthday soon, he’ll plan something more extravagant than some lame surprise party (albeit, badly planned without the help of iwa)

he’d probably rent out a party bus to drive around the city before stopping by at some random karaoke place downtown

he’ll only invite the third years and your close friends so it isn’t too big of a celebration that it doesn’t feel like it’s your own party

the best part of the night was mattsun absolutely outshining oikawa in literally everything

there was even a stripper pole in the party bus and he just started fucking around with you to pretending to make it rain on him,, it was hilarious

you love rewatching the videos you took of that night

your favorite (besides stripper matsukawa) was iwa singing a ballad for you and when i say that man has vocals i mean it

at the end of the night, all your friends got up to sing happy birthday to you on the karaoke machine

the second years would probably feel bad celebrating your birthday with you, so instead they take you out to get udon after school and just vibe

you were honestly just surprised that it was kyotani’s idea to take you out like this, not to mention the cute gift he gave you that he put a lot of thought into

meanwhile i think the first years are just too intimidated by you minus kunimi

like kindaichi knew of your birthday but he was just too scared to go up to you and wish you a happy birthday before handing you your favorite convenient store snack as a little gift

— nekoma

unlike karasuno and seijoh, the way the nekoma boys celebrate with you is definitely on the more laidback side, yet they still put effort in wishing you a happy birthday

kenma, kuroo, and yaku would definitely stay up with you the night before your birthday playing video games just to be the first ones to wish you a happy birthday the moment the clock strikes midnight

they’ll even set up a minecraft server that kenma spent hours setting up and building everything that you like with a gigantic banner made out of your favorite colors of wool saying ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY!’

the rest of the night staying up playing party games on hypixel despite having school the next day

in the morning, you’d find kenma and kuroo waiting outside your house so they can walk the birthday celebrant to school, plus they had bags in their hands to which you assume were presents for you

it was then did you realize that you were going to get more throughout the day after kuroo mentioned how he told the team that it was your birthday

there was something embarrassing and a bit cringey being showered with attention for your birthday, especially at school, but you still appreciated the team’s efforts

throughout the day, people would notice the gifts in your hands and would wish you a happy birthday, definitely causing a stir in the school when yaku, lev, and yamamoto burst into your classroom to shout happy birthday

while yamamoto is literally showering you with birthday wishes and presents, lev would give you a cute plushie of your favorite animal along with a little cake

he’d probably ask to eat it with you during lunch lmao

by the end of the day, kuroo and kenma would help you carry all the presents you received as you guys end the day off getting ramen

— fukurodani

i don’t think they’ll make a big deal out of it knowing you don’t like making a big deal out of your birthday either

the only reason why they even found out that your birthday was around the corner is because bokuto couldn’t keep his mouth shut

it played out somewhere along the lines like this: akaashi would ask you if you were free this weekend so you two could study for the upcoming math exam

bokuto was there as well when you had to ask for a raincheck on studying as your parents were forcing you to go out on a celebratory birthday dinner (as by their words, “it’s the least you could do.”)

to which bokuto literally gasps and shouts, “IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND?” his words echoing throughout the gym and definitely catching the attention of the rest of the volleyball team

if that’s his reaction to finding out it’s your birthday soon, just imagine how shocked he would be when you tell him that you don’t really like celebrating it

akaashi would definitely understand and opted to buy you a little something for his appreciation and give it to you the following day, but bokuto wants to full on throw a party for you

“come on! it’ll just be a little get-together at the park!” he would beg

“thank you, bo, but i’m honestly fine just going out to dinner with my family.”

he would huff, planning to throw one as a surprise party instead, but akaashi immediately shoots down his idea out of respect for you

instead, bokuto would channel all that energy to giving “the best birthday gift of your life!” (end quote)

even konoha would challenge him on that just to tease him, but would still give you a well thought out gift

and yeah, it’s honestly kind of embarrassing seeing him walk into school with a box full of things you’re into including a giant owl plushie (school spirit ig??)

poor bo was outshined by yukie and kaori when they made a birthday cake for you

— shiratorizawa

lowkey i feel like shiratorizawa is definitely one of those private schools that would announce when their student’s birthdays are when they come close

like no one of the vb team would’ve found out your birthday was in a couple days if it wasn’t for that overhead announcement made by the vice principal

however, i wouldn’t think they’d make a huge deal out of it besides tendou maybe

the moment you would walk into the gymnasium, he’ll immediately wish you a happy birthday loudly before nudging ushijima to do the same

instead of one big party, you celebrated with them almost individually

tendou and ushijima both took you to the aquarium and bought you a gift that you specifically chose out cause they’d probably wouldn’t be bothered to do so without you

and then you’d go out with semi and reon to which you three just get sushi after school

lowkey i feel like they would buy literally anything you show even the tiniest amount of interest in and they’ll buy it within a snap

you literally had to stop semi from buying you anything else as he’ll end up spending all his pocket change when the sushi was enough

and unlike their upperclassman, shirabu and goshiki would probably just celebrate with you by just hanging out at your house--watching netflix, playing video games, maybe ordering some pizza

it’s pretty simple, but they’ll be there all day cause the time spent together is just really nice

— inarizaki

the twins literally cannot keep their mouths shut

the team was already pretty aware of your birthday, but they have been keeping the surprise party for you on the downlow ever since the twins proposed their idea of doing a little picnic for you

but go figure that it would be atsumu and osamu exposing their entire plan in front of you after nagging their team not to say jackshit in front of you

they’d still follow through with their plans, however, despite not being a surprise anymore

the little celebration would be held at the park, suna being in charge of the picnic blanket, kita being in charge of bringing drinks, osamu being in charge of bringing the food, and atsumu being in charge of... well,, bringing you ig

aran would arrive late only because he had to get his bday gift for you (which btw was the best one fs) as well as picking up your birthday cake with the words ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH <3′ 

it’s so obvious that suna was the one who ordered the cake, but it’s literally the best you have every received

overall, it’s pretty chill but you couldn’t ask for anything more knowing their efforts and how you’ve been laughing your ass off the entire time

you guys would even watch the sunset as yall sat atop a hill, taking photos to put on your stories and to post on social media

out of the hundreds of photos taken of you with your cake or aran force feeding suna food, the group photo taken exactly at golden hour was your absolute favorite

Day 46

Weds 19th Feb

Watamu Beach 🌞⛱🚤🏝

The most exciting thing about the breakfast that morning was that the sugar was filled with loads of tiny ants crawling around, so we had to negotiate around those while scooping our sugar. It was not ideal but it was possible to do - I do not like coffee without sugar so we made it work. It’s moments like those that make you glad you left home.

But THEN we headed to the beautiful beach to walk out to the island at low tide and we soon forgot about the sugar ants crawling around our tummies ewww gross. I decided to float in the water instead of walk while Phil conveniently pulled me along - dreamy - and I was like the pet sea cow I’d always dreamed of becoming 🐡🐄🐙.

Hustlers and Watamu go hand-in-hand like bread and butter, houmous and encona, olives and my face, and they even operate in the sea while you swim. Multiple people approached us as we got into the sea to offer a tour of the sea (wtf) and then when we were in the water, two more people tried to offer their services. They were trying to show us starfish for cash, sell us boat trips, asking if we wanted a coconut, could they make me a bracelet. I felt sorry for them to be honest as they just seemed desperate to make some money somehow.

I spoke to one kid and just said I’m sorry but I don’t need any of those things right now, and he explained that his sisters were at home doing housework and the boys needed to make some money somehow but its very very difficult. He doesn’t have the education to get a good job (like in a hotel) and can’t sell anything on the beach as doesn’t have a licence (they are expensive) so it’s pretty shit for them really, like so many people in Africa - and the world.

We went back to the shore and walked round to our pool to claim our sun beds. The two loungers from the day before were waiting for us with towels on and pure shade. Perfect. We chilled out then Phil went off to do a swim in the sea as part of his exercise addiction. He managed to swim 1km in the sea despite the shallow warm water. Not that he thinks he swam far enough of course.

After some more pool time, we walked into the village to try out Phil’s Swahili takeaway food place from the night before to see if it had been a one hit wonder. We went up the hidden staircase to a huge breezy terrace and instantly loved it. We got a mango juice and a passion fruit juice (no beer, what an achievement!) and the waiter bought over two complimentary little donut balls that were delicious! The simple menu made it easy to order and the waiter bought over two huge dishes with cabbage, beans, pilau rice and curry sauce. SUCH a good lunch. Phil ordered a latte and the waiter gave us two more free donut balls. While we were there Phil got a missed call which I just KNEW was the bloody secret shorts tailor guy, so I had to totally blag it and distract Phil before he called the number back. Then I secretly text the guy to say I would collect later and don’t call! SOMEHOW I got away with it, or Phil knew something was up and just did some good acting. Who am I kidding, he had no clue.

The same waiter asked us where we were from and it turned out he was a massive England fan but an even bigger Man Utd fan who ‘cries whenever they lose’ as it ‘pains him’ so much. Wow quite a commitment and passion for the team. Over the top some might say (not Bujie though who may as well get the word football tattooed on his forehead).

I went for a walk around the village and left Phil to pay the lunch bill, using the opportunity to sneak back to the shorts shop to pick up the shorts. They looked awesome and for 14$ I mean thats just so amazing I dont really care if they’re any good or not. I left the shop feeling happy, but as I walked away I thought Hang on a minute, I could get him ANOTHER gift and then I’ll nearly be sorted for his bday. Three birds, one stone!

So I went back and ordered a random shirt that he’ll probably hate but at least I’ll look generous and thoughtful 😎

Got back to the pool and chilled out then we went to the room for some AC for relief from the heat. Well, I did at least. Phil decided to go for another run. So it is official now, he’s completely addicted to exercise and can’t stop. But it appears to be making him happy and also drink less beer so in the words of Ross Geller - FINE BY ME.

By the time he was back and showered, he wanted to be a nice person so tried to call Barry’s room to see if he wanted to have a drink with us. Barry didn’t answer so Phil spoke to reception to see if he was there. I thought it was nice that Phil was making so much effort for this lonely guy who’s girlfriend had ditched him, but when Phil went down to another floor to knock on Barry’s door in a towel, I start to wonder just how bored Phil was with my company. His desparation to spend the evening with Barry was off the charts. Eventually with no sign of Barry, Phil opted to take a walk on the beach where he thought Barry wanted to eat. JEEZ chill out Phil, Barry is busy living his own life and doesn’t need you running down the beach shouting BARRY BARRY WHERE ARE YOU BARRRRRYYYYYY.

So anyway, I was in far less of a panic to see Barry so hung back saying I’d meet him down there.

Phil found Barry in a bar on the beach (OH THANK GOD) but came back to get me within 10 minutes, having convinced himself I wouldn’t be able to find them on my own (I think he was getting confused with himself). We walked down to the beach BUT obviously we’d forgotten the malaria pills so I went back to get them to avoid Phil’s 3rd journey back to the room and copious sweat attacks. Plus of course he was keen to get chatting to his fiancé and best friend BARRY and who am I to stand in the way of true love.

I ordered prawns and rice and Phil drank beer, and we ended up half sharing the food when it arrived 45 minutes later as Phil hadn’t ordered anything. I definitely ate more than Phil, then Phil seemed to think he didn’t need dinner. This always happens when he’s had at least 4 beers. He becomes convinced he doesn’t need to eat anything, then I know that he’ll be starving an hour or so later and try and make me get out of bed to make him a sandwich. Which wasn’t going to be possible in our hotel room.

It was getting late and Barry wanted to go and watch the football (THANK GOODNESS) so we paid the bills - after I’d pointed out that they had tried to overcharge us 10$ - awkward. I went back to the room just before Phil, round about the time Barry made a comment that involved the words ‘Greta Thunberg’ and ‘cock’.

I felt like I was ready for a Barry free environment and I reckon Phil might have even felt the same.

When Phil appeared at the door 10 minutes after my return, he had two bowls and forks on a tray he’d got from the kitchen staff and he made himself a double-packet noodle dinner. Saved us some money there at least!
