#he is the character furudate sees themself the most in!!!!

coach ukai occupies such an interesting narrative position in haikyuu. he’s a lot like what nick carraway is to the great gatsby. he’s not the main character by any stretch. the events of his life are not the substance of the show. still, he is our window into the narrative. the matches are accompanied by his commentary and his narration. he is what bridges the gap between the narrative and the meta-narrative. he starts out as an onlooker but ends up getting dragged into the thick of the story until he’s too emotionally invested to leave. he’s a reader he’s a narrator he’s a character he’s everything to me

so i was reading a few sakusa fics last night bc i am an absolute sucker for that man... anyway, there's something to be said for the general characterization of him: quiet, reserved, super cleanly, hates people, doesn't want to engage in any form of touch ever. and it usually makes him come across as a super cold and distant to everyone.

but i feel it usually is depicted as too extreme and how untrue I think that would be, especially with a s/o. while like there are definitely outward character traits that fall into those groups (more on the gotta stay clean and avoid germs side or not really taking to people he doesn't know), i'd imagine him being a bit more of soft boy out in public with his s/o and pretty clingy when he starts to get uncomfortable. small tugs on the hem of your shirt when he wants to leave or go somewhere else, tucking his head into the crook of your neck to calm down, keeping your pinkies connected as you walk, etc. just cute shit like that and he would get defensive (groan, roll his eyes, or tell them to shut up) if anyone were to call him out on it, but ultimately brush it off.

however, if you were to ever tease for how needy and clingy he is at home or something after the fact he would actually start to get a bit annoyed. keep pushing his buttons and eventually he would start to tease back and call you names, telling you how usually needy you are for his dick. slowly more and more, becoming more physical and completely making you know not to try to tease him again (but also like pls do it again). I personally like to indulge in the idea that despite the fact sakusa keeps things in his life nice and tidy, he would enjoy making a mess of you (but wouldn't outwardly let you know). you end up with legs twitching, sweaty, and still panting, maybe a couple tears escaping the corner of your eyes. wet sheets and sakusa grumbling about how he'll have to wash them.

sidebar: I don't actually take sakusa to be a particularly hard dom person despite how this might read. but i feel like when provoked, he'll act like he has something to prove.

uh, anyway that took a turn i wasn't really expecting it to. a lot of thoughts everywhere. oof.

S Y D YOU KNOW MY WEAK SPOTS NOW

him and tsukki are the clingiest, neediest, most dramatic assholes in the world and i love them more than anything.

i mean furudate themself has confirmed that sakusa isn’t germaphobic or rude for no reason. he’s just very clear about his boundaries and what he doesn’t like. that definitely shows in your relationship. he won’t touch the handrail on public transportation but he’ll kiss you first thing in the morning before either of you have showered or brushed your teeth. he hates when people are loud around him in public or at practice, but he loves when you dance around his kitchen yelling along to the radio. his boundaries fall when it comes to you because he loves you.

sakusa can definitely be harsh when you tease him, but that’s more out of the bedroom if that makes sense? if you initiate it when you’re out in public, for example, he’ll start whispering filthy things in your ear and make you regret it when you get home. but if you’re already initiating play and tease him about how much he clearly wants to be touched, or how stubborn he was earlier that day, it makes his brain melt. i’ll never see him as a very dominant man, but i think when he is it’s more his stubbornness coming through.

anyway, i love him and he’s my favorite. thank you for bringing him up because i’m always ready to yell about omi.
