Unknown Volleyball Player

Fandom: Haikyuu Pairing: Karasuno & Male!Reader Summary: You didn’t want to join the team, but you kinda did. Word Count:  1,414 Request: @greyofthystallion​ “ You wanted Haikyuu? You getting Haikyuu! Karasuno x MR. R is really quiet/shy and comes to all of Karasuno's games/practises. One day when the team is practising a ball goes towards a group of people watching practise and he saves them. It turns out R is actually a really good player and was once in the top 3 Liberos, (Insert freaking out Hinata here) but was too nervous to ask to join 'cause he came in the middle of the year and the team was already situated? And he joins the team?”

After the lost with Abajo Sai, the team has been feeling a bit dejected. 

But, news had gone around the school that they made it to semi-finals, inclining people to come to watch their practices during the lunch hour on a Wednesday. You were one of the observers and the team noticed you often. You were the quiet one who liked watching what was going on, you hardly talked and you never like to draw attention towards you. 

The team was slowly getting better with techniques and working together, but there something missing. Whilst the unlikelihood of Noya being absent or hurt, they didn’t want Daichi to fill in as his position. They needed another libero just in case, plus, it’s only a matter of time they would need a new one after Noya will leave after his third year. 

“Is (L/n) watching again?” Noya asked, looking up at the balcony, see you watching them.

“Who is he?” Takeda asked the boys, Ukai wasn’t there for lunch practises on Wednesday, so he was there to watch them, “He’s the transfer, isn’t he?”

“Yeah,” Hinata exclaimed before Daichi glaring at him to quiet his voice down, “He’s in our year, see him go into class four with Tsukishima.”

“He’s quiet,” The blond boy speaks up, “I like him.” 

Nishanoya and Tanaka gasped, the fact that Tsukishima admitted he liked another person other than his best friend had wounded them. 

“Knock it off,” Daichi exclaimed, clapping his hands before telling to them to get changed so they can head off to their next lesson. 

You were a topic often talked about the boys, they wonder why you often came to watch, they had noticed that even before you joined their school you watch their matches. You were so amazed at the team, Kageyama’s brilliant serve with Hinata’s jump and their quick. You were astounded by Noya’s defending skills. 

When the next day had rolled about, you had gym that day and the volleyball club had their practice after school. You were about to leave school grounds when school ended, but you were preoccupied with the vending machine.

“Hi (L/n)!” Hinata greeted as you looked at him, grabbing your drink as Kageyama comes from the side to grab his milk, he nods you a greeting, “Will you be watching us?”

“Not today,” You replied as the two of them head away, Hinata being dragged away as he was upset you weren’t to watch them. You laughed as you see them dash into the gym, you shake your head.

You found the bunch funny, but you didn’t want to intrude on their practice. So, you decided to head home instead of watching. There was a group of girls walking past the gym doors, not noticing a flying ball towards them.

Your instinct kicked in as you ran to receive the ball perfectly, landing in a superhero stance. One stretched out, the other bent as you couched. One hand had propped itself on the ground to stabilize yourself after the powerful stray ball - yet your other hand still held your drink. 

You missed the stinging feeling of your arms, it was less there to feel as you had you school jacket on as the girls screamed before stopping that they hadn’t been saved.

“Oh, (L/n)-san! Thank you!” They say as you stood up, brushing yourself, a hint of embarrassment on your cheeks.

“Oh, it’s no worry,” You say with a smile as they bow to you, you waved them off as you scratched the back of your head as you turn around to see the volleyball team looking at you, “Hello?”

“What the fuck?” Noya screeches as you look at them sheepishly.

Tsukishima inclined himself to throw the volleyball in his hand towards you, just before anyone could scowl at him, you caught the ball with one hand, inches from your faces. The team looks at you dumbfounded with your insane reflexes. With a twist of your wrist, you got the volleyball to spin on your finger.

“What position do you play?” The coach asked you, you hold the ball as you looked up at Ukai.

“Libero.”

“Why have you been hiding that?” Tanaka screeches as you smile at them, throwing the ball back to the captain.

“Please show me how to do that!” Hinata exclaims just as you were about to answer. His arms outstretched in front of him, almost like a wrapped mummy reaching out for you, “Please (L/n)-san!”

You chuckled, “Yeah, maybe...”

“Wait, can we backtrack?” Suga made his voice heard, “Why did you hide that away from us?”

You shrugged your shoulders, “Well, your team seem so completed and I didn’t want to join whilst I just transferred here - I didn’t want to intrude at all.”

“You wouldn’t!” Noya says, jumping towards you, you barely flinched at a short teenager launching himself towards you, “We need you on the team, the more the merrier - right guys!”

“I believe it’s Daichi’s decision whether if he can join or not,” Asahi spoke up, his hand raised up slightly.

The team looked at the captain, even the coach didn’t want to interrupt this decision making. Ukai had no objections in you joining, you would be a great asset and hoping you could teach Hinata how to receive. Daichi relaxes his shoulders and smiles towards you.

“Come join us, you can start in this practice.”

You nodded as they tell you to head up on the changing room. You came down to join them in practice, it seems like you were having a blast - especially saving Kageyama’s monstrous serve that only you seem to save consistently. It came to a point that everyone was just watching the two of you.

The team had noticed that unbreakable focus you had, it was filling the room - it was challenging Kageyama’s aura. The boys watched from the side lines as Yachi looked like she was about to pass out - concerning herself about your arms. 

“Is that all you have Kags?” You asked teasingly, slowly bending down with a tinge of smug in your eyes.

“No,” Kageyama smirks as he delivers you another jump serve, to the back right corner.

But, like everyone, you were too quick for their eyes as you dive to save the killed serve and bring it back to Kageyama’s side of the court. The ball bounced in the silent gym as you face Kageyama. It seems like Kageyama was having a great time if anyone watches in - this could seem torturous.

“Alright, we’ll call it a night before we break (L/n)’s arms.”

“That’s so cool!” Hinata excitedly shouted, running up to you to talk about your skills whilst your senpai, Noya roughly pats you on the back.

“You’re freaking cool.”

You smiled, biting your smile back. When you really get into volleyball your shy demeanour fades away, you completely change that it almost scares the team on how focus you become. 

“It’s terrifying that you and Kageyama are only in first years, but you guys are scary - glad we’re on a team with you,” Suga says, roughly patting you on the shoulder.

“We’ll get you your uniform and jacket next week, we just got to get your measurements,” Daichi says, standing behind Suga, zipping up his jacket.

You nodded, as everyone started to file out the changing room with Tanaka locking up as Kiyoko waving them down, the majority gave her heart eyes as Yachi came behind her timidly.

“I knew I recognised you from somewhere!” Kiyoko blushes, it was so unlike her for her to exclaimed as you widen your eyes, she holds up a magazine - looks out of date, “Top three libero?”

You chuckled nervously as eyes snapped towards you, “Yeah...? I plan to go to Japan Youth in December, but I didn’t want to join the team because you guys-”

“You’re so FUCKING cool!” Noya shouted, jumping so high as you laugh, “You have to teach me more stuff!”

“Can you teach me! Please (L/n)-san!” Hinata asked, jumping behind Kageyama to get seen. 

“He definitely needs it,” Tsukishima mumbles as Yamaguchi snorts. 

“Come on, pork buns on me, we can listen to you talk about it,” Daichi spoke warmly as you smiled.

Noya standing by your side with Hinata coming to the other side, the two boys excited to know more about you - somewhat, you feel like you have no trouble in fitting this group.

HQ CAPTAINS AS THINGS

i was bored and felt like doing a crackfic thing but i didn’t have any solid themes or good ideas

SO I PRESENT TO YOU - THE CAPTAINS. AS THINGS. IDK HOW TO WORD THIS BUT YOU’LL SEE AS WE GO ALONG.

warnings: VERY LONG, slandering a crybaby oikawa (lovingly), mentions f!reader, shitposting, mentions of violence in kita's, (a bit) yandere!kita, cursing, unedited, me being an idiot

officer!daichi

we are: vigilante/troublemaker

loving the enemies-to-lovers trope so much

nah bro you ain’t full criminal (bc my preppy ass could never) you just do the small vandalism things y’know like drawing peepees on government buildings and knocking over bins

u literally confessed to him by spraypainting the entire billboard by his workplace “I LIKE YOU” like way to go girl

He didn’t appreciate the creative graffiti but he rlly likes u so all u had to do was clean it and then next thing u know yall are out on a cute cafe date

but let’s talk about before yall got together

he’d CHASE u thru alleyways when he’d catch you writing “police sux” on the fuckin wall

bro is NOT AT ALL afraid to jump onto the roofs it’s FRIGHTENING to see this huge ass police officer storm after u

HES SO FAST HOT DAMN WOMAN HOW DO U GET AWAY FROM HIM??? USAIN BOLT WHOMST???

you’d almost always get away by a hair - he’s SO SO close

and it frustrates him but excites u oooooo arrest me shawty

and this would continue for a while

but yall have such fun fun banter - you’d tease him and he’d say something back and you’d bolt and he’d chase

some days he’d catch you. but in those times u slip away somehow

he’s having so much fun and doesn’t even know it

and then at one point he doesn’t even care about bringing u to justice anymore. he knows it’s bad for business and it’s unprofessional but he’s so attracted to u

he doesn’t even know it. HES IN DENIAL!!! his mind: “oh i’m just asking about her so that i know her motives” bruh no u just asked about our fav pastry this aint about crime anymore

and when he finally gets it,,,DINGDINGDINGDING SOUND THE ALARMS !!! MAN IS WHIPPED!! he’s more shy around u awww,,,doesn’t even want to chase u anymore but he will still engage in banter w u.

yall get a little peace treaty in the lil crush stage - you both are kinda aware of ur feelings towards each other but don't really wanna mess it up and jeopardize whatever's going on like bros PLEASE JUST KISS ITS INFURIATING

it’s more of a competition to see who will break the other first (and you lost he’s too hot)

he lets u joyride his cop car in an empty parking lot <3 he is the one <3 this is true love

u gotta marry him right now bro no excuses

u are no longer on the crime side of the law,,,u support him and only him fuck the rest of the cops (i’m jk of course...or am i)

u are his badass sidekick <3 unofficially of course until he marries u

u help him with the small things like helping lost children find their parents and helping old ladies cross the street

but you want to do the FUN stuff - chasing thieves and arresting drunkards.

unfortunately, he loves u too much to put u in danger so he keeps u from doing the dangerous things

after some protesting later, he trusts u to take care of urself. and now yall have a competition just like old times - whoever catches the most baddies at the end of the month wins (he WILL scold u if ur too reckless though)

THE TWO OF U ARE JUST GOOD COP BAD COP UHAHAHAHAHAHA

but it’s much more complicated than that - it’s either ur the laidback one and he’s the strict one or ur the fiery one and he’s the person like “calm down”

PLEASE HE HATES BRINGING U TO INTERROGATIONS he’s trying to be serious but you keep making him laugh istg he has to kick u out each time

u still make him laugh when u pout-glare at him thru the glass

bro says he’s not the stereotypical cop but the moment u surprise him with donuts and coffee in the morning he will make out w u right then and there

even though yall dating he still won’t let u play with his equipment

but sometimes u grab his walkie talkie when he’s not looking and prank call the others

and his coworkers know by now they’re like “oh it’s daichis gf” and go along with it HAHAHAHA “this is alpha 1, daichi just contracted ligma, over.” “roger, but what’s ligma? over.” “*inhale* LIGMA-” *daichi takes the walkie talkie back*

his coworkers are chill lmaoooo they love u two as a couple THEY ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE they planned a surprise anniversary party of when u joined the force (unofficially)

the juniors tanaka and noya are jelly ooooo but they respect their captain <3

u loooooove hanging out w the starry-eyed new recruit hinata and he’s bouncing around asking u personal questions “how did you date the commander!!! what’s he like as a bf??” he also accidentally exposes how much daichi talks about u in the office before he drags him away and murders him off camera

he does get u a walkie talkie that’s just connected to his line, tho. for emergencies. it’s ur second phone basically that only has his number in it

daichi LOVES it when u massage him after he’s had a long day but his shoulders are stiff as a statue,,,he’s also super stronk and can carry u anywhere <333

IMAGINE HE HAS A POLICE DOG - he doesn’t, but he’ll get one of his buddies to bring u a k9 unit so u can pet it and when he sees how happy u are he considers getting one PLSSS IT WOULD FIT HIM HELPPP

bro is VERY strict on safety. bulletproof glass in yalls house. alarms + cameras everywhere. trackers on every device. underground bunker. (just kidding lol)

daichi teaches u self-defense and gets u a bejeweled taser for ur bday <333 MARRY THIS MAN RIGHT NOW OR I’LL-

in other words i love daichi and he is husband material WIFE ME UP BUDDY

househusband!oikawa

we are: girlboss sugar mommy

somehow you tamed this bish to becoming your obedient malewife

and by obedient i mean whiny but compliant

IS MORE ATTACHED TO YOUR BLACK CARD THAN TO YOU. I SAID IT. THE TRUTH.

sure, he’s pretty and gives affection sometimes but the only time he’s bein cute and snuggly w u is when a new fendi purse came out and he wants it

his specialty is cooking but he’s so lazy he’s all “just get the maid to do it”

please give ur workers a raise he’s so demanding

when you take him to ur business parties hes ALWAYS bragging about you and ur large house with this and that and his favorite: indoor hot tub. he always brings up the indoor hot tub.

only reason you bring him is cuz he’s pretty and he whines when you leave him alone for too long

yall cant even stay for too long - he’ll practically drag u out of the building and whining that it’s too hot and his suit is too stuffy and to call a limo

he’s not afraid to embarrass u if u dont give him what he wants and he will spit out food at a formal dinner if its not to his liking

probably in competition w househusbands! makki and mattsun about who gets the best house so he’s constantly begging u for an extension to the house “please babe!!! makki has-” “no.”

8/10 times throws tantrums in public and 1465/10 times throws tantrums in the house

he wants to cry for the sake of crying. one time he lost his shirt and he wouldn’t stop bawling for 15 min

please find him a hobby

crybaby . the moment u give him the glare of death it’s over. but he’s got a cute crying face which makes up for his annoying whimpering

like he made the mistake of throwing a temper tantrum in the mall only for you to glare at him with a look that said “we’re discussing this when we get home and you’re gonna get your ass beat” and walk away. immediately stopped what he was doing and he was running after u, sniffling and mumbling apologies

please humble him and have him sleep outside. the couch is too luxurious to banish him to. he made sure of it himself. it’s reclining and has charging ports. he will not learn his lesson that way

does NOT want you to get a pet or a kid or even another sugar baby/househusband - he wants to be the center of ur attention

speaking of which he HATES it when you work for too long or work overseas. when u come back he’ll pout at u and give u the petty silent treatment

don’t bother trying to comfort him he thrives off of it and he’ll keep going so u can keep paying attention to him. if u just ignore him back he’ll come crawling back to u. “WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME IGNORING YOU?? DO YOU EVEN LOVE ME ANYMORE???”

one time yall got into a fight and he was all like “since ur being a rude mommy i’ll just find someone else !!!” inside u were like “oh god finally” but instead u said “okay”

ohmygod he panicked. he was rlly expecting for u to fight for him,,, but he doesn’t want to admit defeat first so he tries to go thru with it but you literally dont care. even when he has his chanel luggage packed and he’s standing by the door ur just like “ok bye bitch”

So he’s trying to stand by the door and wait for u to say that ur joking. ur not.

“fine! I’m leaving now!” “okay.” “...*sniffles*” “tooru, go.” “WAAAAH NO IM SORRY I DONT WANT TO-”

u knew this was going to happen sadly. u even hid the keys to all of the sports cars u own just in case he was actually going to go thru with it

tries to get in the gossip circle with the neighborhood trophy wives but they don’t think he’s cool enough. they like u though. they think ur hot asf and oikawa doesn’t like them no more bc theyre hitting on his ATM. but thanks to that u know all the gossip and shit even though u don’t ask for it

Every time u pass by a store where he thinks he wants something he’ll just cling to u and give the puppy dog eyes. like it could be out of nowhere and u see it and you’re like “where. which store.”

bro once he went luxury he never went back. he wouldn’t EVER step foot into a grocery store ever again congrats he’s been bimbo-ified

beat him with ur gucci belt pls it’s so funny

also please please PLEASE discipline him. tell him it’s NOT okay to just randomly purchase the entire swarovski store or to throw a party at ur house just bc he’s feeling petty about u being at work for too long. ofc he’ll bitch about it but you need to be firm

but don’t worry,,,he’ll get the idea when u take away black card privileges and slap him around (lovingly)

now he has to ask permission like a good boy. he’ll kneel and hug u and give a lil pout and whine

you got a bigass man child i’m sorry maam u should’ve picked tobio or ushi

ceo!kuroo

we are: secretary

bruh keeps it mostly professional during work hours

but that all gets shedded off like a snake when we on break

one minute he’s all “get these papers done by today or i swear on all that is holy i will destroy you” and then later he’s all “hey sweetheart wanna grab a cup of coffee”

flirty flirty FLIRTY FLIRTY AAAAA HES A MENACE

but you’re less than impressed bc y’know when the time clocks out and its time to go back to work he’s ruthless once more

HUMBLE HIM FOOL only when you’re on break though

will NOT stand for anyone else in the workplace bullyin u - NO WAY. only HIM

he’s got TONS and TONS of dirt on everyone in the office - NO ONE is safe so they wouldn’t even dare

RIP janet from accounting

that dumb bitch made the mistake of insulting u to ur face and in front of him. never heard from her again

it’s not even limited to the other employees - he’s not afraid to go off on a potential business partner if they dared disrespect you

bruh tries to call u on ur off days for the most randomest shit and to get ur attention

*picks up phone* “sir?” “ah! my favorite secretary ever! listen, i need you to grab my pens from my desk at the office and bring them to my place.” “...with all due respect, it’s 2 am, sir.”

but u have to comply with his ridiculous demands cuz he’s the bank

and he depends on u completely. as much as he hates to admit it - u have his schedules, itinerary, provide coffee, performance rates, stock info, you name it.

once u were out sick and he had the worst management - he’s not used to working without you

def tries to get some of ur workload off of u bc he’s worried that the stress of working for him made u sick + he doesn’t want to go thru scheduling again

prolly gets bored in meeting rooms and sends u little smirks and wiggles his eyebrows and weird looks while he’s sitting and ur standing in the corner like bruh pay attention

maybe sometimes he’s secretly makin fun of the presenter and doodling on his spare sticky note something funny to make u crack a smile

he’ll tease u for it of course “oh, secretary! you should be paying more attention! what would you do if this was important?” bruh i can multitask now keep airdropping me ur selfies i’m saving all of them (news flash: u dont save his dumbass selfies otherwise his ego will inflate too much)

sometimes likes to pull u aside from work to hug u - you say it’s highly unprofessional but he says it’s his stress reliever

you ALMOST got caught by one of the newbies and he was kabedon-ing you

he tries to play it off (since u were embarrassed too) but u know better,,,DO NOT LET HIM FORGET ABOUT IT he turns red and embarrassed every single time USE THIS TO UR ADVANTAGE !!

never goes into an elevator without you bruh is so attached to u n holds the doors open for you

but you have to open normal doors for him if he doesn’t know how it works (hint: manual doors. “why isn’t it opening on its own?” “sir, there’s a handle.” “but?? what does it do??”)

bruh acts like a dumbass sometimes so you can baby him :/// wtf man just because you’re rich doesn’t mean i’ll- ...wait...how much did you say…? that many zeros? HAND ME THAT FORK YES I’LL FEED YOU COME HERE- HERE COMES THE AIRPLANE BITCH

brings u to overseas trips and he spoils u too

no matter how much you insist that you’re ok he gives u a lot of luxurious items. “think of it as a bonus from me.” NOW YOU JUST HAVE A COLLECTION OF NICE SHOES/BAGS/JEWELRY AND HE LOVES IT WHEN YOU WEAR THEM TO WORK IT MAKES HIM SO HAPPY UGHHHHH

BRUH just a sugar daddy at this point “you have to look presentable for the next focus group so here’s a nice rolex watch” “sir, i don’t need-” “ah ah ah - it’s my treat.”

it’s pointless to refuse him but he still teases u for it like what???? “if i didn’t know any better, secretary, i’d say you’re just doing it for my money and not my fabulous looks and personality.” “exactly.” “hey!”

yall go for drinking parties a lot. whether with the whole branch or just the two of u

KARAOKE W KUROO AFTER A LONG DAY OF WORK <333 becomes a ritual between the two of u

he’s so silly when he’s drunk lmfaoooo goofy ass mf

but that’s only when it’s the two of u. he controls his alcohol around others and his uncool side is only for u <3

also ur the only one he trusts to take him back to his place and handle him

it’s the other way around too - when u drink a lot he looks after you <333

you have a higher tolerance than him and sometimes u have competitions between the two of u on who can drink more but then yall always end up shitfaced

HES the one who has a crush on you

you know the drill - gaslight gatekeep girlboss

he’ll do anything for u but wouldn’t ever admit it he simp

offers u the keys to his estate and offers for you to LIVE with him

bruh just marry me already ok WAIT WE’RE NOT EVEN DATING YOU NEED TO WORK ON THAT SIR-

he’s so awkward tryna confess to u,,,he may be this big hotshot ceo but he’s acting like a schoolgirl in love

probably prints u a confession when he asks u to go to the fax machine lmfao what a nerd

in other words ceo!kuroo is a nerd and you need to top him immediately get that bank

dog hybrid!bokuto

we are: owner

Husky-malamute breed!!! BEEG DOGGIE VERY HAPPY N DROOLY <333

OVERLY HYPER. JUMPS ON ANYONE AND U AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT

he’s well trained i swear but the moment he sees something of interest then i’m sorry you just lost him

please if a robber came in he wouldn’t even attack them he’d just tackle them w hugs

he loves loves loves snuggles <333 u busy? nope!!! hug time!!! cooking something?? oo lemme see!!! whoops look at all those tomatos on the ground. u got a deadline coming up and u really need to focus?? CUDDLE TIIIIIIME- w-wait - huh?? why are u shoving me off?? do you - do you not - huh?!?! WHY ARE YOU LOCKING ME OUT OF THE ROOM?? NO!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! IDK WHAT EXAMS ARE BUT I WANT CUDDLES!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME????!!!

the WORST things u could ever do to him is leave him and call him a bad boy

HE CRIES ON THE SPOT </3 HOW COULD YOU </3

soso bummed when u go out of the house without him </333 waits by the door patiently waiting for u to come back </333 sob sob

the moment he hears the door unlock he LEAPS and his tail is wagging like CRAZY

he is SO STRONG. almost always knocks u over whenever he jumps on u

destroys EVERY toy u bring him. u leave him for 5 seconds and there’s stuffing all over the floor and whatever u brought him is nonexistent

tugs on the leash when u walk so much that it SNAPS

loves romping w the other dogs in the dog park but he needs to tone down on his friendliness he almost killed a lil orange chihuahua

gets distracted by EVERYTHING. ooh, squirrel! oo, butterfly! OOO HUMAN CHILD!! MUST EAT!!!

ok while he might be friendly, he still gets super super jealous. you both were outside and u were petting the neighborhood black cat and bruh almost swallowed his head

which u thought was weird bc the two are normally friends and are pretty nice around each other

so now he’s more feisty around him and any other cat that’d get ur attention

If it was a person, then that’s another thing. He’d be very friendly at first but then slowly realize that ur attention is more directed on them than him. then he’d go ballistic

but when u scold him for practically assaulting the poor dude and call him a bad boy,,,he’s lost it

u have to lock him in the other room and he’s crying and whimpering, scratching at the door. all he wanted to do was protect u from that bad bad man who took away his owner’s attention !!!

def snarls at the dude next time he comes into ur house/apartment...dude never came back

“GRRR” “AAAA GET UR FRIGGIN DOG B-” “he don bite” YES IT DO GET UR-”

doggie bokuto rlly tries to be slick...it doesn’t work. like he tries to do that thing when he’s a total demon towards the guy but then act like an angel around u but it doesnt work bc he’s not smooth

doggie intelligence: 2 IQ. one time u got him a puzzle box and hid a treat in it but bruh couldnt figure it out just straight up monched the entire puzzle simply bc he smelled his fav bbq treat in it

speaking of intelligence - he only knows how to say a few words like ur name and incomplete sentences. speaks in barks and whines and sometimes a word

SO BIG THAT HE GRABS FOOD FROM THE TABLE WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKING

u had some delicious beef steak? oh dear, where did it go? there’s ur puppy kou with steak sauce all over his lips

big fan of hiking trips, sports, literally anything that involves going out

he LOVES getting dirty outside playing. boi cant control himself from rolling around in the mud

hates baths at first but then he likes how u spray the water on him and giggles awww he likes bath time now

we all know he’s not the brightest pup of the pack but,,,he’s somehow psychic. he knows when ur taking him to the vet

HE THROWS A BIG FUSS ALL THE TIME - sometimes he tries to hide but his huge tail under the couch gives it away

and he knows when ur thinking of taking him on a walk. he also begs u to take him outside by settling his head in ur lap and pouting until u give him what he wants

he likes the big ol doggie sweaters/pjs u buy him...but he always ruins them. no matter how much u buy him, they’re all ruined. he complains how scratchy it is and it feels weird on him

knows LOTS of tricks but if u teach him more than what he already knows he will forget one of them he’s like a damn pokemon

he feels ur emotions :((( if ur mood is down his tail droops :(( and he gives u cuddles and tries to make u feel better

he even likes to make a fool out of himself and be silly if it makes u laugh :((( he’s so precious

in other words i love doggy bokuto

pirate!ushijima

we are: kidnapped

ah yes we’re are captives of the most fearsome pirates of the seas: shiratorizawa

just so you know, tendou was the instigator. he was all “let’s kidnap a noble’s kid and get the ransom money!” (whether you actually are a noble or not is up to you)

thing is, nobody’s willing to pay (if you aren’t a noble) or the pirates really pissed off the folks in charge and are now doing a manhunt

so yeah you aren’t going back anytime soon

but he’s a pretty good sport about it - very hospitable

he notices the little things u like and gets them for u <333 sighs <333

he saw you reading that book? wow look at that, there’s suddenly a stack of them and the same genre he saw you reading

but you definitely shouldn’t test him. he’s SUPER scary when it comes down to it

you saw how ruthless he was with the rogues that had dared to challenge him on sea

mf made them walk the plank

you help on the ship bc u wanna be useful and also shirabu keeps being mean

he asks u to teach the crew how to read cuz theyre dumb as shit and only know water and treasure

speaking of treasure - when he leaves u on the ship to explore a cave, he gets u really pretty jewelry <33 anything u ask for

“oh, welcome back captain. how was your mission?” “i brought back a few trinkets i thought you might like.” *reveals whole chest of priceless gems* “are they to your liking? if not, we can set sail for something else that might interest you.” “I-”

bruh got a pet eagle - u ask the crew and they dont even know how tf it happened

hell, even he doesn’t know how it happened wtf. “oh. one day it flew down to me and i fed it. that’s all.” wtf

equivalent to diluc’s bird - he didn’t even give it a name so he gives u the honors

U name him rigatoni (you got a great naming sense btw)

oh my god oh my god oh my god HE TRIES TO PROTECT U WHEN PPL WERE TRYNA INVADE THE SHIP

it was the first thing he did no cap - burst into ur room and scoops u up <33333

“what the-” “we need to get you to safety. we are under attack.” and holds u close to his chest AAAHSIDHFPSDHFN OH MY LORD YES

HAS THE TEAM GIVE U SELF DEFENSE LESSONS AFTER THAT

tendou tries to give u a sword but ushi says no “she could hurt herself.”

“but ushiwaka! we can teach her not to hurt herself” “...it’s my orders.” “c’mon, be more honest, ushiwaka! what’s the real reason?”

he goes quiet then looks at u “...i’ll always be there to help. she’ll have me.” AOISHSDHFSNDF

HELPPPPP SIOJFDSKFJP HES SO CHARMING AND HE DOESNT EVEN TRY

but the rest of the crew are like “then what’s the point”

but tendou sneaks u a dagger just to be safe

sorry ur apart of the crew now - but they’re like a family even if they did kidnap u

oh whatever your life before wasn’t as cool as this (no offense)

they are given orders to protect u at all costs

speaking of which - ushi isn’t all that great w guns

almost blew his own head off tryna figure out how it works before reon snatched it from him

he brings you with him to towns and cities and he likes taking u to the markets to get you stuff

ushijima tell me your love language is gift-giving without telling me your love language is gift-giving-

he finds out you’re pretty good at bargaining and brings you onshore a lot more

is mesmerized at how you absolutely BERATE the merchant who was tryna rip you off like sis where is this violence coming from??? he loves it??

he also likes to stop by some pretty islands and imagines just settling down in such a nice place w you <333 SIGHS <333 VERY <333 LOUDLY <333

no matter how much he likes you...he will NOT let you drive the boat under any circumstances </3 its his livelihood c’mon man

whenever you have to stay on the ship while he’s away he sends rigatoni to give messages and the two of u talk thru messages

speaking of which rigatoni is fierce and can definitely sink his talons and his sharp beak into any bastard that dares get near you while the captain is away

wakatoshi “swimming is for pussies” ushijima - he’s water resistant

bruh so powerful he walks on water

second coming of christ who

IM JUST KIDDING he does swim but we hardly ever see it

legends say (tendou says) he looks rlly awkward doing it and only knows how to doggie paddle

speaking of our homeboy tendou - he loooves spooking the team (and especially you) with scary stories . don’t worry tho - this is all a ploy to get the beeg pirate husband to comfort u at night ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) he is ur wingman u can count on him. but his suggestions are ridiculous

“Jump off the deck and see if he’ll catch you!” um excuse me- THOU SHALT NOT PUT BIG HUSBAND TO THE TEST

he’s got good intentions...i think…

but everyone literally knows he would dive after you

in other words pirate!ushijima is a softie at heart but goddamn he probably secretly has a pet shark so dont test him or u goin overboard

mafia leader!kita

we are: associate from different group/family

kita highly respects u and yall have been acquainted since u were young with the alliance of ur families

so in a way ur childhood friends but yall do have lil bit of friendly rivalry a bit

arranged marriage whuuuutttt...yeah thats what happened but u love him <3

nobody else knows about ur arranged marriage but you two

POLITE GENTLEMAN <333 !!! HNNNNNNNN his granny raised him right even tho he’s a mafia leader

RICH BOY RICH BOY RICH BOY- ALWAYS DRESSES DASHINGLY AND SMELLS GREAT MMMMMM

he owns the majority of the underground casinos

and has lots of connections with others. countless, might i add.

you on the other hand specialize as an arms dealer so he cherishes your services the most

prob has the traditional tattoos allllll over his back and shoulders w like a dragon or sm and def a fox or kitsune

when u two were little he asked ur favorite flower and GOT THAT TATTOOED ON HIS BACK <3 probably secretly has your initials hidden in there somewhere

u both have a silent understanding of each other and he talks to u more than he does anyone

before he used to smoke but once he figured out that you didn’t like the smell of cigarettes he quit just like that

his underlings, the miya twins are so confused on how kita switches from totally brutal and ruthless to so soft around u

they can’t tease him for it, though, cuz he’d pulverize them

but they want to know more about u,,,you mysterious enigma,,,but kita would kill them if they dared asked about you

so they go to inarizaki’s most secretive informant/cyber mercenary, suna rintarou

and suna knows all about you. he saw you one time and he was curious about who you were and is now rlly scared of you because he dug too deep and you’ve got LOTS of history

he doesn’t dare tell the twins what he found no matter how much they bug him

until they bribe him at just the right price

and when aran finds out and tells kita?? ohhh boy it’s lights out for all three of them

oh my god ,,, would kill for u he loves u so much

one time you were kidnapped and held hostage

bro saw red

MAFIA ANNIHILATION SPEEDRUN ANY % NO GLITCH

he got world record time

wiped out the entire conglomerate behind it - nothing and nobody left behind after that

and of course, made sure you were safe.

yandere? ofc not...i mean...just look at him...so innocent...he would never...sharpening that knife...with splattered blood all over him...

is now joined at the hip with u,,,no matter how much you tell him you’ll be fine now and that you have tons of reliable bodyguards he won’t let it go

“don’t you have to go back to your place?” “this is my duty as both a fellow associate and your future husband.” aww,,,ur so sweet...but BRUH PLEASE GO HOME ARAN IS DOING EVERYTHING OVER THERE

makes sure to build a headquarters DIRECTLY NEXT TO YOURS so that its faster

and it’s not long until he just signs a deal to merge ur factions together (since yall getting married anyways)

and oh my god...ur underground wedding is SO SO PRETTY

absolutely DOESN’T care if he’s smuggling jewels from different countries - he’s having your ring CUSTOM MADE and the way you want it. “the diamond is too small? sure thing, darling, i’ll have it 7 times that size.”

makes sure everything is perfect in ur wedding <333 its very extravagant and even though its not really his style he’ll do anything for you

he absolutely WOULD take your last name if you wanted. FIGHT ME ON THIS

takes you to his private island for ur honeymoon so that the two of you don’t have to worry about work

meanwhile aran is scrambling around the place trying to cover for the both of you

he’s a VERY romantic husband - NEVER takes off his ring even for security. he says its practically a part of him just like you are <3

the ring has a built in tracker connected to an app. possessive? noooo...

in other words this escalated pretty quickly but i aint complaining if it gets me married to kita

Oikawa

there are times when Oikawa just won’t give you the attention you need

yeah, he’s a sweet boyfriend and all, but between volleyball practice, appeasing fangirls, and his social media platforms, he doesn’t have much allotted time for only the two of you

while trying to figure out how to garner some of Oikawa’s focus, a lightbulb goes off in your head. 

you’re sure you’ve seen a TikTok or Youtube video of people breaking up with their s/o as a joke… 

so while Oikawa is distracted by some form of social media, scrolling mindlessly on the couch, you’re tilting your phone camera up to video this moment

you come sit at the edge of the couch and utter some of the most terrifying words ever spoken

“Tooru, we need to talk.”

his head shoots up, body following with it

“What’s wrong, baby?” his eyes are wide and he’s unquestionably nervous

“I think we should break up.” you’re doing all you can to keep a straight face, waiting for a goofy reaction

but right as the words leave your lips, you feel instant regret

the most shocked expression adorns his features and you swear you can already see tears welling up in his eyes

“Wait, wait, wait it’s a joke I’m sorry! Look there’s a camera and everything, Tooru, I’m sorry!” you bounce forward, gathering him in your arms

you finally just let him know that you’ve been jealous and frustrated (baby needs attention)

he literally makes you promise to never prank him again, bc he insists “his whole heart shattered” and that “it was an act of cruelty”

y’all cuddle all night bc he can’t let you go after that scare

Kenma

ok so Kuroo has been trying to get a new reaction out of Kenma for the past 2 weeks

and nothing is working at all

so him, being his true scheming self, asks you to get involved

you accept bc he paid you you’re curious too and ask him what you need to do

“Just… y’know, break up with him or something?” he suggests nonchalantly

“What the hell, Kuroo!” your jaw dropping at his absurd request

“Bro, I already paid you! No take-backs.” he shrugs “Also, you gotta record it and send it to me.”

when you get home you feel like such a sucker for agreeing to it, but you’d rather not owe Kuroo any favors so you get everything set up as quietly as possible

Kenma, in his usual gaming position tucked under a blanket on your shared bed, scoots over to let you in, but you seat yourself at the edge instead

“Kenma…” wow you feel weird, “I uhm. I don’t think this is working out between us.” you’re cringing at yourself

you’re basically hoping he’ll make a weird face so that you can turn off the camera and explain everything to him quickly

eyes still glued to his game, Kenma simply states, “Kuroo put you up to this, babe.”

“I’m sorry plea- wait what, how’d you know?” you stutter out, confused

“He’s been doing weird-ass stuff for a long time, y/n.” he shrugs

“...okay… tell me more?” your focus completely shifting to storytime with Kenma

now you know all about Kuroo’s strange history with your boyfriend… and it’s all recorded, right there, on your phone 

Noya

it started off with a seemingly harmless game of truth or dare w/ the Karasuno boys, including your boyfriend, Nishinoya

you’d agreed to go along with it because they promised it would be chill nothing is ever chill w/ these kids, i s2g

however, you’ve already used up your maximum number of “truths” so you’re forced to pick dare for this turn

suddenly all the boys, except Nishinoya, are huddled together

you two just stare at each other with great confusion

simultaneously, all the boys turn around, making you jump, and say

“Nishinoya, get out.”

well ok this is weird

once he leaves, and may i say very reluctantly, you’re faced with the most painful of dares

“Y/n, the council has decided. For your dare, you must fake break up with Nishinoya later this week.”

fools. absolute idiots. but who are you to deny the council of boys?

so when the dreaded day comes, you facetime the boys in, leaving them on mute on your kitchen countertop and make your way up to Noya who’s actively attempting to make dinner

so you begin, “Nishinoya I… I just, uhm…”

“Yes, baby what is it?” his eyes dazzle when they meet yours

lmao you can’t, he just looks too excited to see you and you know for a fact his funky, lil heart would break

“I, uh… just wanted a hug actually.” 

“Why didn’t you just say so!” he responds, a grin stretching across his bright face, squeezing the absolute life out of you

“It was… supposed to be a dare from the boys the other day, but-” you try to explain

“Y’all’s dares are lame as hell.” Noya cuts you off finally realizing their presence on the counter, still pressed up against your body

baby had no idea

the council is displeased… and a little jealous

Tanaka

this guy has been on his Xbox all damn day

and it’s starting to wear on you

all the yelling, the thundering laughter, and weird code words were interrupting your reading, thinking, and ruining the cozy, weekend vibes

you’ve tried everything so far:

you made him his favorite meal? nothing. asked him to go out with you tonight? “Let’s do it tomorrow babe.” telling him to be a little quieter? somehow he managed to increase in volume.

so you text Kiyoko and ask her what she would do

homegirl literally suggested you break up with him, so that’s a no-go…

but maybe you could just… threaten it kinda? your babe can take a joke and it might finally get him to calm down

so you walk over to him and loudly exclaim,

“I swear if you don’t stop obsessing over whatever it is you’re playing, I’m just gonna leave.” trying your hardest to sound coldhearted

Tanaka yanks his headphones off and he’s on his feet, horrified

and now you’re just laughing, your sputtering boyfriend unsure of your contrasting words and emotions

“Sorry babe, you’re just… so loud. And I kinda miss you.” you hold out your arms, trying to draw him toward you

“Not funny!” now you’ve done it.

he’s gonna pout for a while and you’ll be the one to deal with it

but... if you give him a kiss and a real apology, he’ll snap out of it real fast

keiji akaashi

confessions behind the school building

were you nervous about finally confessing your feelings to akaashi on valentine’s day of all days? absolutely

he was one of, if not the prettiest, impressively athletic, and overwhelmingly intelligent boys in your class

he probably got at least ten confessions on the daily

and valentine’s day simply doubled the number

and here you were, with your tiny valentine’s day card and box of chocolates in hand

you had heard from all the girls that he had been turning down confessions left and right, only adding onto your mountain of nerves

little did you know that he was waiting for you

cherry blossoms bloomed above your heads, falling gracefully like something right out of a shoujo anime. you tapped the tip of your shoe against the pavement, a nervous tick you had garnered that helped keep you grounded. this was it. this was the moment today was leading up to. you and akaashi were standing behind fukurodani, stealing away a bit of privacy. you didn’t need the prying eyes of the other girls watching as you confessed to your year long crush.

akaashi waited with a patient gaze, unmoving from his spot a few feet ahead of you. he gave you space, and didn’t force you to talk right away. it was as if he already knew the intricacies of your thoughts, the way your mind spiraled if you were suddenly put on the spot, especially when it was as intimate and open as confessing your feelings.

“i wanted to tell you, i mean- what i’ve been trying to tell you for years is that i, well,” your tongue felt like it was two sizes too big. your fingers fidgeted behind your back, holding onto the tiny note and chocolates you had made for him yourself. “i like you a lot more than i really let on. you’re always so thoughtful and considerate. you listen to me when i ramble, and you help me with homework or even small things i don’t completely understand. that’s um, that’s really nice of you. i know you’ve probably received a lot of gifts today, but if you could spare a bit of your backpack space to accept mine, it would mean the world to me.” you bowed towards him, eyes glued to the floor as you held out the small box of chocolates and the note you had written.

you didn’t catch the way a smile tugged at his usually stoic features, or the way he tilted his head in thought while wondering how much courage you mustered up to confess like this. still, you felt nimble fingers brushing against yours, the weight of your gift leaving your grip.

“thank you, y/n,” akaashi told you gratefully as you stood up to your full height, “i’m glad that you feel the same as i do.”

“... wait what.”

kenma kozume

heart shaped candies

kenma rarely has plans for valentine’s day tbh

he treats it like any other day because it’s just a day to play some animal crossing and farm more on stardew valley

however, when you waltz into his life, he panics a little bit as the date draws closer

he wants to make you feel special on valentine’s day

he settled for those tiny heart shaped candies, knowing that you had quite the sweet tooth

he wasn’t gonna leave you hanging on valentine’s day, sweetheart

kenma held your hand in his as the two of you walked home together. the day was rainy, small droplets of water pattering against the shared umbrella the two of you were situated beneath. you were talking about school, something or other about the clubs you were in and how passionate you were about starting your very own this year. kenma listened tentatively, an easy smile on his face as he watched your eyes light up and your free hand gesture and fly about as you spoke.

you were adorable.

the two of you soon arrived at your house, and you promised kenma that you would call him tonight so the two of you could play games or watch some netflix together over the internet. you two had been particularly invested in some k-drama that always left the two of you at the edge of your seats. you planted a gentle kiss to his cheek, his face erupting in crimson right to the tips of his ears. giggling quietly, you wished him goodbye, your hand beginning to slide from his as you went to leave. to your surprise, he held on tighter.

with his gaze cast down, you watched as he pulled out a tiny bag of heart shaped candies from his pocket. “i know it’s not much, but i saw everyone else getting their partners gifts and kuroo said that it would be good if i got you something too.”

you accepted his small token of affection with shaky hands and flushed cheeks. peering inside the clear bag, you saw a whole collection of multi-coloured candies reading cheesy phrases such as ‘b mine’, ‘true love’ or even a ‘cutiepie.’

“kenma, i love it. oh my.. haha! i thought you forgot since you didn’t mention anything about gifts for today.” kenma’s hand squeezed yours, his eyes lifting from the wet ground to meet your own with a small yet confident smile.

“i wouldn’t forget something as important as you.”

yuu nishinoya

big teddy bears

an absolutely chaotic mess on valentine’s day

he’s so excited that he finally has someone to spoil, so he wants to go all out

he figured that the best present to get you was the biggest teddy bear he could find

he went to 6 stores and dragged asahi and tanaka with him

he saw a teddy bear that was literally twice his size and went “I’LL TAKE IT”

mans has no chill, he spent literally his entire allowance on it

his grandpa didn’t even bat an eye PFFT

when nishinoya showed up at your doorstep with a chunky teddy bear in tow, you had no words. truly. it had been at the stroke of midnight when he texted you to come outside and see the valentine’s gift he had gotten you. you had said that this could wait until morning, but he insisted that this could not wait another moment. it was technically valentine’s day, after all! this resulted in you dragging yourself down the stairs of your home to greet him at the door. to your surprise, yet at the same time not surprising you in the slightest, was noya carrying the largest teddy bear you had ever laid your eyes on. not only that, but tanaka and what appeared to be a very exhausted asahi accompanied him.

“y/n-chan!” nishinoya shouted boldly and triumphantly, getting down on one knee which instantly made you panic. he wasn’t going to propose, was he? no he wouldn’t. would he? oh god. your words got caught in your throat, trying to formulate some kind of response to his sudden and incoming declaration. yet, a proposal never came. he held up the teddy bear as if it were simba from the lion king, the entire stuffed animal basically shielding his shorter form from your view. you suppressed a snort with your hand.

“i searched far and wide for this gigantic teddy bear for you, please accept it this valentine’s day!” nishinoya said loud and clear from behind the bear. you were having trouble stifling your laughter because from your angle, it looked like the bear itself was saying these words to you. you attempted to take the huge bear from his arms but it ended up being a lot heavier than you anticipated.

“noya, really this is-”

“take the picture!” noya whisper shouted to tanaka, who was holding up his phone camera with a thumbs up. noya posed beside you with an arm tossed around your waist, throwing up a peace sign and sticking out his tongue. leave it to yuu nishinoya to spoil you with the biggest bear he could find. it was incredibly endearing, especially when you found out from asahi that he nearly got kicked out from a walmart after knocking down the entire teddy bear display. he could be the biggest dork sometimes. but you wouldn’t trade him for the world.

koushi sugawara

baking together

he saw the idea on pinterest and he had to try it out with you

they were cupcakes red velvet with pink, buttercream frosting

easy, right? it would be a cute little date, you could even stay over at his house while you watched a romcom or something of the sort while they were baking

turns out it wasn’t easy

at all

“shit fuck, oh god- shit!” koushi mumbled to himself as he was spilling some of the red cupcake mix over the side of the bowl. you were trying your best not to laugh too much but you couldn’t help your giggles when koushi shot you a playfully annoyed glare, his nose powered with sugar and flourmaking him look straight out of a victorian magazine. baking with koushi had gone just as well as you thought it would. there was a lot of flour being thrown around, a few stray chocolate chips and sprinkles now on the floor serving as reminders of past quarrels. koushi had always been a rather chaotic individual behind his “soft boy” demeanour he liked to flaunt. he could be so goofy and fun. he could be your greatest hype man but also the person you knew could be in your corner when it counted. and here the two of you were, making a mess in your shared kitchen at nine at night for a valentine’s day date.

“honey, you’re mixing it too fast!”

“i’m mixing it just fine, see look! it’s supposed to be this thick,” his ahoge bobbed back and forth atop his head as he mixed with quite literally his entire torso. his tongue poked out of the corner of his mouth as he focused hardcore on the making sure the mixture was abolished of any and all chunkiness present. you rolled your eyes, a wide smile on your face despite his stubbornness. “the oven’s been preheating for thirty minutes now.”

“well the oven can wait,” he huffed, tapping the neck of the whisk against the bowl to remove the excess mix before grabbing a ladle to begin scooping all the mix into the muffin tin. not without another mess, of course.

“kou, stop moving the—”

“i’m not moving anything, you’re just making me laugh!”

“hand me the spoon, hand it over.”

“it’s not a spoon!”

“it’s a big ass spoon.”

“y/n!”

you were bickering like an old married couple as your hands reached greedily for the ladle that already had some cupcake mix in it. koushi held it out of your reach, causing him to back up into the counter while you hopped in an attempt to get it back. in your desperate attempts, you slipped on the flour from your little past war and caused the two of you to collapse to the floor in a heap of giggles and laughter.

yeah, you two would definitely never be touching any sort of recipe after that day, you absolute menaces.

Miss Manager

This is such a cute prompt! Annnnd it’s definitely going to be on the longer side. I’m sorry (?)

The first time Kuroo meets Karasuno’s manager is during the very first practice game in his third year.

It’s corny and cliche but he wouldn’t trade the way his brain stopped working or his breath got caught in his lungs for anything.

You were sort of opposite of the other manager who, while in her own right was hot as hell, you were radiant and the contrast between the two of you was day and night.

Kuroo is much more of a day person, in my eyes, and that’s where part of the draw comes from.

Talking to you was easy—easier than the way he rolled out of bed each morning and directly went about his day.

You thought his quips were funny, even if some of your team didn’t.

After the long, arduous and abdundant amount of practice games, the two of you finally go your separate ways.

“Let me know when you’re back in town” is Kuroo’s slick way of sliding his number to you. As soon as you sent him a text, letting him know that you were confirming it was you, it was game on.

It starts with simple exchanges—a good morning, how was your day, and get plenty of sleep type of texts.

You have no trouble expanding on the questions. After all, it’s boring to talk to someone when you only offer dry responses.

With Kuroo, you aren’t afraid of sharing when you’ve been having a bad day or the disappointment you feel when you fail a test.

To your surprise, Kuroo starts helping you study here and there via FaceTime.

Months go by and the intimacy between the two of you, despite not having physically seen each other, isn’t lost on you.

“Babe, babe, guess what?!” He asks you as soon as you start your weekly FaceTime call. The pet names aren’t lost on you either.

“What?”

“Karasuno gets to attend the training camp!”

“Wait so I get to see you again?!” You’re both excited and, while the two of you never discussed being exclusive, you’re both ready to bask in each other’s presence once again.

After the long ride to Tokyo, you and Kiyoko are helping get the boys off the bus, unloading luggage, etc., while a tap reaches your shoulder.

All of Nekoma is behind Kuroo, game faces on while the only thing on his face is joy.

The second you turn around, he’s got arms around, picking you up and twirling you right off your feet. “I’m so happy to actually see you.” His voice is quiet—he doesn’t wanna sound like a total sap in front of everyone.

“Me too.” The two of you haven’t made any official announcement nor had you still had the discussion, but the way you two are looking at each other says one thing: “we’re together”.

That, and the way he pulls you down for a kiss. In front of everyone. That’s not embarrassing or anything.

Daichi and Sugawara move into protective parent mode. Despite you being the same age as them, their expression is clear—what the fuck are you doing with my daughter.

Asahi feels second hand embarrassment, mostly due to the fact that he feels the moment was so intimate that he shouldn’t have even witnessed it.

Kiokyo and Ennoshita are giving soft smiles, happy to see you happy.

Tanaka and Noya are freaking the fuck out. “OUR MANAGER CANNOT DATE ANYONE FROM NEKOMA, IT’S ILLEGAL.”

Tsukki, Yamaguchi, and the other two second years are kinda whatever, mostly cause they don’t care. Though Tsukki is wondering how and why tf you’d go for Kuroo of all people.

And Kageyama and Hinata are in the classroom back home because they’re idiots who can barely score in the double digits.

Idr if Yachi is a part of the first camp, but fuck it let’s include her too. Cause ya know what? While she’s spluttering and gasping like a fish out of water at the overt display of affection, she conveniently snapped a picture and sent to the two first years stuck in Miyagi.

They check their phones in the middle of class, idiots, and immediately just start screaming, earning them another day of supplemental lessons.

A Takeda scenario please~~! With s/o who is was angry at him for forgetting their anniversary due to much work and that he is also planning to propose to her. can the whole team help him in doing the proposal?

This came out really long but I hope you enjoy it! LOTS of fluff!

Takeda inhales a sharp breath. The moment he sees you hismemory finally kicks in to realize he’s committed one of the worst dating sins;he forgot your anniversary. You don’t say a word, you don’t have to. The weightof your stare from across the polished floors breeds tension in the room thateven the most oblivious of the volleyball idiots can sense.

“______,” begins Takeda.

“Don’t,” you say putting up your hand.“Just…don’t.” Turning on your heel, you exit before the first of manytears to be cried tonight falls. Takeda moves forward but stops in his trackswhen you shout over your shoulder, “And don’t follow me!”

There’s silence in your wake, none of those left behind surewhat to say to their dear sensei. They don’t know what happened but it’s clearhe made a mistake and a grave one at that. But he’s amazing; shouldn’t all hisgood outweigh one bad move?

“My apologies,” Takeda says turning back around,“um, let’s get back to work I suppose.” The team tries to regroup butare distracted with concern for their advisor.

“Sensei, are you ok?” Hinata can’t help asking.

“Tch, it’s obvious he’s not,” sneers Tsukishima.

“Alright guys, take a lap to warm back up. Daichi, gettheir heads back on straight,” Ukai orders.

“Hai!” responds the captain, ushering the teamoutside.

Now alone with his friend, Ukai scratches the back of hishead and shifts his feet. “You, uh, wanna talk about it?”

Takeda smile is dull, a deep sigh pushing out the words ofhis mistake.

“Welp, not surprised she’s upset but I mean, everyone’sallowed one royal screw up, right?”

“I think this is heavier than that, Ukai-kun.”

The coach shrugs, thrusting his hands in his pockets. A beatof silence passes then Takeda is speaking again. “I don’t mean to put heron the back burner, I just get so focused with work and the team! She’s reallythe most important person in my life. I… I want to ask her to marry me.”

Ukai’s jaw drops slightly; he’d no idea things had gottenthis serious between the two of you.

“You should sensei!” shouts Noya startling themboth. As the group surrounds them he adds, “We’ll help you!”

“Noya, you really shouldn’t-” begins Asahi.

“No, I think it’s a great idea. She really loves allof you,” Takeda says smiling a bit wider. “And I’ll take all the help Ican get.” 

The next morning you’re at home, eyes red rimmed and puffy.You know Ittsetu would never do anything to hurt you intentionally, but it’shard not to feel a bit heartbroken to have been forgotten so easily. No, notforgotten, more like overlooked but it stings all the same. A knock at yourdoor brings you out of your haze, hand rubbing your eyes in attempts to gainclear vision again. When you open it, you’re surprised to see Yachi and Shimizuon your porch.

“Good morning, _____-san,” Shimizu says politely while Yachijust waves, her body quivering a bit but you can’t tell if it’s trepidation orexcitement; with this girl, it could be anything.

You offer a watery smile. “Good morning girls, is theresomething I can help you with?” Then, your face bears concern as you askhurriedly, “Is something wrong? Did something happen to Takeda-sensei?”

“No, no,” Shimizu assures quickly shaking her head, “That’skind of why we’re here. We just wanted to make sure you were ok.”

“Oh, you two are very sweet,” you reply with a sigh. “I…I’msure he and I will work it out. You didn’t have to come all this way just forthat!”

“We…we were hoping maybe…maybe we could do that girls’ daything you mentioned!” Yachi says. “You know? To help cheer you up?”

“Oh, I don’t know…” you begin trailing off when you see herexpression drop. Perking yourself back up, you force a smile. These girls tooktime out of their day off to try to help you feel better and you’re not goingto let their efforts be wasted. “You know what? You’re right! It’s the perfectday for girl time!” Yachi lets out a yelp of encouragement while Shimizu smilessoftly. “Come in,” you continue drawing back from the threshold to allow thementrance, “I just need to take a quick shower and get dressed, then we can go.Did you have anything in mind?”

“We have a few ideas,” Shimizu says kindly as she takes aseat on your couch.

“Ok then, you girls figure out the details and I’ll be backin a jiffy.”

Fifteen minutes later, you’re dressed in one of your favoritedresses, hair up and light makeup in anticipation of the heat of the day.

“Ohhhh, you look so pretty!” exclaims Yachi covering hermouth.

“Thank you, Yachi-san,” you reply picking up your purse. Thenext minute the three of you are outside headed to the train station. “So,where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise,” the girls say together making you laugh.

The train ride is pleasant, filled with gossip about theboys and you and Shimizu gently prodding Yachi to make a confession to Hinata.It’s plainly obvious the two of them like each other and even though they’re soyoung, you can’t help but be swept up in the memory of high school love. Thethought brings your own man to yourmind and you consider what to do about your current situation. You love Ittsetuwith all your heart and were of the mindset that he felt the same way, but nowyou’re not so sure.

The train arrives to your stop and the three of you exit.You get a few feet ahead of the girls before you realize they’re no longerright behind you. Turning around, they’re standing next to one of the platformpillars, smiles on their faces. Walking up to them, you ask, “What’s the holdup?”

“We owe you an apology,” Shimizu says handing you anenvelope. “This was never about spending time with us, but we hope you’llforgive us the small deception.”

Confused, you open the envelope and find a note inside:

My dearest, ______, bynow you should be standing if not exactly at least near to the place you werethe first time I ever laid eyes on you. Your beauty took away my breath butwhen you looked at me I couldn’t meet your eyes. It would take me months to finallywork up the nerve to even speak to you. But I’m so glad that I did. You are somuch more than just a pretty face, but yours is the only one I want to look at.

-         Ever yourcaptive, Ittsetu

When you look up, there are already tears brimming in youreyes as you search for your beloved. “He’s not here, but this is your nextstop,” Yachi says handing you another ticket. The girls wave as you get back onthe train.

The next stop is one you know well since it leads to thefirst place Ittsetu took you on a date. As you round the corner of the littleside street, you’re surprised to find Narita and Kinoshita seated at one of theoutside tables of the bistro.

“Good morning boys,” you say kindly, “you’re out early.”

“Good morning, _____-san,” they say together, both of theirvoices a little shaky.

There’s a beat of silence before Narita is reaching underthe table and pulling out a bouquet of the same flowers Ittsetu gave you onyour first date while Kinoshita hands you another envelope and offers you hisseat to read it. You sit down, setting the flowers upon the table so you canproperly hold the paper.

Darling ______, thestop was probably enough to give away where you’d end up next. This place willalways be ours, much as I hope you’ll always be mine. Whenever I catch wind ofthese flowers, I’m reminded of you but their scent pales in comparison to thenatural sweetness that is your essence. When I breathe you in, you give melife.

-         Intoxicatedby you, Ittsetu

Your smile is bigger now, letter clutched to your chest.Silently, Narita hands you another ticket for which you thank him beforeheading back to the station.

Again, the train whisks you away and again you smile widelyas it pulls to a stop. Exiting, you know right where to go, the park a quick five minute walk away. Looking at the top of the hill, you see four figures inthe distance but you don’t have to get close to know who they are.

Hinata is bouncing on the balls of his feet while Kageyamaand Tsukishima argue about you don’t know what. Yamaguchi has a sweet blush onhis cheeks as he hands you a box. Opening it, you find a tube of lipstick whichsurprises you until you read the accompanying letter.

My star, you’re now atthe spot we shared our first kiss. I think the only other time I have been thatnervous was when I got my first kiss ever in junior high. But kissing you wasone of the most significant things to happen in my life, even if I did getteased relentlessly by my fellow coaches and advisors for having a smear ofyour lipstick on me. This will forever be my favorite color because it alwaysreminds me of that first kiss.

-         Willinglymarked, Ittsetu

“Here you go, ______-san!” Hinata exclaims loudly, shoving aticket into your hand.

You giggle, patting his head in thanks, before giving a waveto the rest of the boys and taking your leave. Upon the train, you sigh softly;Ittsetu may have made one of the biggest errors ever, but he’s definitely makingup for it now.

Another stop, another memory, this time in the form of theplace where you first told each other “I love you.” Now expecting to seefamiliar faces, you grin widely at the sight of your two favorite misfits; Nishinoyaand Tanaka. The left winger spiker and libero rush over to you, eager to gettheir gift and letter into your hands.

“Open it!” Tanaka says excitedly while Noya nodsenthusiastically.

Chuckling, you do as bidden, revealing a beautiful sterlingsilver locket but instead of heart shaped, it’s fashioned to look like a book.Opening it reveals a picture of you and Ittsetu at a faculty Christmas party,both you dressed to the nines.

Every day a newchapter of our lives is written and I cannot express the joy I have in myheart that our stories are now intermingled. You enrich my life with color andsubstance but ground me to the things that are most important. I never want topart from you.

“This is your last stop,” Noya says giving you anotherticket. You kiss both their heads bringing furious blushes to their cheeks.

Exiting the train at your final destination brings you faceto face with the third years, each of them smiling warmly as you approach.

“Good evening, ______-san,” Sawamura says.

“Hello boys,” you reply. “I have to admit, I’m stumped onthis one, must be a new thing Takeda-sensei has in mind.”

“Always so perceptive,” Sugawara comments with a grin.

“Co…could you come with us, please?” Azumane asks quietly.

You nod, beginning to walk forward but Suga puts up hishand. “Ah, ah, you have to put this on first,” he says handing you a blindfold.You frown and pout playfully but tie it around your head obediently. The threeboys usher you slowly and carefully to wherever it is Ittsetu wants them totake you.

“Ok, _____-san, here’s a seat for you,” Sawamura sayshelping you to sit down. “Just wait here,” he adds then steps away.

It isn’t long before you feel movement near you and you justknow it’s Ittsetu.

“Ittsetu, can I remove this now?” you ask fingering theblindfold.

“Yes,” he answers, voice a little rough with emotion.

Pulling away the fabric, you blink to gain your vision backthen gasp as you take in the sight of a huge oak tree lit from base to almostits top with fairy lights. You’re seated at a table for two but Ittsetsu iskneeling on one knee…oh god…

“______,” he begins taking your hand, “today you went on ajourney of our firsts. And now, I hope to make one more first,” he opens asmall box, ring gleaming inside, “and a last. I want you and only you by myside until I leave this world. Will you…will you marry me?”

“Oh Ittsetsu, of course I will!” you cry, flinging yourselfinto his arms. He holds you tightly, face buried in the crook of your neckwhich he peppers with kisses.

“I’m so sorry for hurting you. I promise, I won’t ever doanything so stupid again,” he breathes against your ear.

“It’s ok, I forgive you,” you reply hastily, pulling backbefore moving forward again to plant a long kiss on his lips.

“I’ll take that as a sign she said yes.” Ukai’s voice snapsyour attention to the base of the tree where all the team begin to emerge withtables, chairs and food; all the makings of an engagement celebration.

“Wait, where’s Ennoshita? He’s the only one I didn’t seetoday,” you ask looking around.

“I’m here,” he says stepping out from his hiding spot. “I’vebeen following you the whole day documenting your trip. I’ll have the video puttogether by the end of next week. Only,” he looks at Takeda, “Sensei, could Ihave your permission to use it for my art school submission when I graduatehigh school? I have a feeling it will be my best work yet.”

“Of course,” he answers quickly then looks at you, “Only,that is, if you don’t mind.”

“I don’t mind as long as we’re the first to see it,” youreply and the second-year nods.

“Alright, then, let’s get on with the celebrating!” Ukaicalls.

“Whoohoo! I’ve got the sake!” Saeko cries making herselfknown as she sets up drinks and food.

The rest of the evening is spent surrounded by the teamwho’ve in the past year become like a makeshift family to you and Ittetsu andas you watch them all interact with one another, you just know these bonds,like the one you will make with your fiancé, will go on forever.

'Oh, urm, I don't have a board with me. I've never actually been on a skateboard.'

On their first ‘date’, Akaashi is surprised to learn Bokuto can’t skateboard.

aka

“I have an idea for a drawing for BokuAka week, so I think, oh I know, I’ll write a little bit to go with it, and then there’s 2K words, and no time to draw anything.”

AO3 link - http://archiveofourown.org/works/10469901

'It's the cinema on the other side of the park. It'll only take five minutes to get there.' He put his board down, and looked expectantly at Bokuto.

'Oh, urm, I don't have a board with me. I've never actually been on a skateboard.'

Akaashi stopped and looked at Bokuto, an incredulous expression on his face. Bokuto was fiddling with the strings on his hooded top, avoiding his eyes.

'How come?' he asked.

'I... just never have.'

'The rest of the band does. I just assumed. You never wanted to?'

Bokuto sighed, and mumbled something under his breath. Akaashi couldn't pick up what he said, but didn't want to make him uncomfortable. Surely if he'd wanted to skateboard by now, he would have tried it. It was really none of his business.

'Ok, well, we can just walk.' He picked up his board, and tucked it into the straps on his rucksack. 'It won't take much longer, we can still catch the start.'

'Sorry, 'Kashi.'

'Don't apologise. Forget I said anything.'

No matter what he said, he could tell Bokuto was holding onto it, for some reason. His hands were pushed into his pockets, and his shoulders were hunched over as he walked. Akaashi knew he'd have to be cautious, peeling away the layers without breaking them.

They walked, in a more uncomfortable silence than he'd have liked, but at least he was still there, walking with him.

He didn't want to mess things up, after finally asking him to spend time together in a more arranged way. They'd bumped into each other a few times since the gig, so many times in fact, that it was surprising that they hadn't met each other before. They shared a lot of friends in the scene, most notably, the band's bass player Tsukki was good friends with Yamaguchi, who also worked on the same magazine as Akaashi.

The fourth time they'd bumped into each other by accident, it was just the two of them; it was somehow easier to ask for a phone number, and then the easy flowing text messages started. Finally, he'd built the confidence to ask him to meet up properly, when just the right opportunity presented itself.

Akaashi couldn't believe it when he saw they were showing 'Dragonslayer' at the local arts cinema. The weekend before, he'd gone to see something with Ennoshita, who had pointed out the poster as they left; at first he suggested they both along to, before noticing the date and realising he was already busy.

'You should invite Bokuto,' he suggested.

'Oh. Why's that?' he said, trying to sound innocent.

'Ah, right. No reason.' He rolled his eyes, as if they all weren't well aware of how Akaashi felt about Bokuto. 'Well, it's about a slacker skater kid, I'm sure he'd enjoy it. Oh plus it's pretty short, so if he gets bored, it won't be for long.'

'Why would he get bored?'

'Cause it's Bokuto, he has the focus of a four year old.'

Ennoshita wasn't the first person who'd mentioned this short attention span, but Akaashi had never really experienced it. Whenever they chatted, his attention seemed to be focused on the conversation. Ok, they hadn't spoken in person that many times, or for that long, but he'd never felt like Bokuto was bored or would rather be elsewhere.

He found it quite insulting, the way people treated Bokuto like a small child. He was a fully grown man, with a full-time job. Even if that job was playing drums in a band, it was a talent that took patience and skill, and he had to be reliable to turn up for gigs and practice sessions.

But he couldn't be bothered to argue with Ennoshita about it. He clearly had a certain impression of Bokuto, one that was shared by most of the people he knew. Plus it would probably draw attention to the fact he thought about Bokuto a bit more than he'd like to admit. Especially his arms. In relation to his drumming, of course.

So he'd texted Bokuto, inviting him along instead, and when he'd got back an enthusiastic acceptance almost immediately, he felt a rush of excitement flooding his chest.

It had never occurred to him before now that he didn't skateboard, but now he thought about it, he'd never had a board with him, even though Kuroo always did; when he pictured Bokuto, he was perched on his bike, leaning forward on the dropped handlebars, listening intently.

'You don't have your bike today?' Akaashi asked, cutting through the silence.

'Nah, I got the bus. I … wasn't sure what time it finished. Or what we might be doing afterwards.'

A warm blush crept its way up the back of Akaashi's neck. 'It's short, just over an hour. We could get something to eat afterwards. If you'd like?'

Bokuto took a sideways look at Akaashi, and smiled. 'Yeah, I'd like that.'

Now that they were talking, and it seemed like neither wanted the day to be over quickly, Akaashi relaxed, and Bokuto was walking with his head up again. Akaashi checked his watch, and as they had plenty of time, he took them the scenic route through the park, winding around the pond.

Bokuto started pointing things out to his companion, small details about their surroundings; a badly pasted poster which made someone's head look like it was squeezed at the sides, a squirrel racing along a fence in the distance, a crisp packet folded into a neat triangle which hadn't quite reached the bin when someone had thrown it.

Eventually the cinema came into view, on the other side of the park gate. There was still plenty of time before the film started.

'Want to hang around here for a bit?' Bokuto nodded, and found them a bench. Akaashi took his rucksack off his back, and rooted around inside. He found two bottles of Coke, handing one to Bokuto. He smiled and thanked him, taking a long draft.

As they sat, Bokuto peered at the skateboard still strapped to the bag. It wasn't fancy, just a bog standard board, although it was completely covered in stickers he'd got as freebies from work. He was much more interested in photographing other skateboarders than learning to do tricks. He could just about 180, but he used the board much more as transport than anything else.

'I know him,' Bokuto said, pointing at a sticker showing a glass heart. It was newer than most of the others, not overlapped by anything else.

'Asahi? I photographed him the other week. Nice guy.'

'He really is. He's the best street skater I've seen.'

Maybe it was time to take a chance now, with the subject back to boarding. If he made things awkward at all, he could pretend they needed to go to the cinema immediately, and save Bokuto's embarrassment.

'You know Noya as well?' Bokuto nodded. 'Then you'll know Tanaka?'

Bokuto started laughing. 'Those two crack me up. It's like they're in Jackass.'

'We know a lot of the same people, lot of skaters,' he started carefully.

'Yeah we do. Weird that we hadn't met yet, isn't it?' He was still looking at the bottle of Coke, picking at the label with his thumb nail.

'It's also weird you haven't tried skateboarding yet. Would you... like to try on mine?'

Bokuto looked up at him. His eyebrows were drawn down over his nose, and his mouth was pulled to one side. His expression seemed to be that of someone hearing something unexpected. Akaashi stayed quiet, waiting patiently for more reaction before he said anything else.

'I said earlier, I don't think I can.' His voice was quieter again, but Akaashi caught it this time.

'Sorry, I didn't hear you earlier. But everyone thinks that at first. It's all practice, I'm sure you could...'

'Akaashi, it's not that. Gah!' he interrupted him, exasperated. 'Sorry, I didn't mean to... It's not that. It's... I'm really clumsy.' He'd continued picking at the bottle label, as well as scuffing the toes of his feet together. 'I'll probably break the board. Or my leg.'

He looked so uncomfortable, embarrassed even, and Akaashi felt terrible for causing him to feel so bad about himself. He lifted his hand, moving it over Bokuto's leg. It hovered there for a second, until he made the decision, placing it lightly just above his knee.

'Bokuto, I'm sorry. If you're not comfortable, I shouldn't have pushed you. But if you change your mind, the offer is always there. Any time.'

His feet had stopped moving, and he looked at Akaashi's hand, still resting lightly on his thigh. He stopped picking at the label, and tentatively put his hand on top of it, then looked up to catch Akaashi looking back at him.

He quickly turned away, but in the moment their eyes had met, gold flecks had sparkled in Bokuto's, a dusting of pink across his cheeks.

He cleared his throat, taking back his hand so he could open his bottle again, and take a swig. The warmth from Bokuto's hand lingered on the back of his hand, and within his stomach.

'Ok,' Bokuto said after a deep breath, 'Have we got time before the film?'

'You really want to give it a go?' He tried to hide the excitement in his voice, but the thought that he'd persuaded Bokuto was a bit too much to handle.

He'd thought Bokuto was a force of nature, the kind of person to try anything, with little thought; like Tanaka and Noya, he imagined he was probably into pranks, and stunts. As it turned out, he was thoughtful, careful, gentle, the foolishness merely a cover.

Akaashi unstrapped his board, placing it on the ground. He put a hand out to Bokuto, pulling him onto his feet.

'First of all, are you left or right handed?' Bokuto held up his left hand. 'Ok, you're probably going to be goofy. So put your right foot here.' He pointed to the front of the skateboard, moving Bokuto's foot into the right position. 'Now put your left foot just there, ok?'

By now, Bokuto was standing on the board, his feet at right angles to the board, one over each set of wheels.

'Now, hold onto me, and move your feet backwards and forwards a bit.'

He put both hands out towards Bokuto, who took them, holding them by the fingertips. His hands were calloused, no doubt from drumming, and the roughness brushed against Akaashi's softer skin. Akaashi looked up to see if he was ok, but Bokuto was looking at the floor as if it was covered in lava.

'It's fine, you won't break it, and I won't let you fall.'

'It's stupid really, it's about an inch off the floor!'

'Don't be so hard on yourself.' His voice was soft and encouraging. 'You're standing on wheels, it's wobbly. Remember learning to ride your bike? I bet that was wobbly at first.'

Bokuto looked embarrassed again. 'I had training wheels until I was eight...'

'There's more wheels on this,' Akaashi said firmly. 'Now, can you move your feet a bit yet?'

He rocked his feet, uncertain movements giving way to more bold ones the more he got used to the feel of the wheels.

He finally looked up into Akaashi's face, and those gold flecked eyes took him by surprise again. His face was filled with the unbridled glee of doing something well, and Akaashi could finally see why people saw him as childlike.

'Does that feel ok?'

Bokuto stopped moving his feet and stood as stably as he could on the board, still holding onto the other's hands, eyes pinned to each other. He moved his fingers to rest between Akaashi's, intertwining them.

The sun was in the sky behind him, lingering on the tips of his hair. Akaashi knew they'd have to make a move to the cinema soon, but he had no inclination to take his hands away. Something was shifting, unrelated to the unsteady skateboard beneath Bokuto's feet.

He was hoping they were both feeling it, and when Bokuto finally answered, he knew it for sure.

'Yeah,' he said, the smirk growing wider on his lips. 'This feels very ok.'

Bokuroo Week Day 2

Prompt: Inside Jokes

Title: Bonding at Training Camp

Rating: T

Summary: It’s time for the annual Tokyo summer training camp. Bokuto brings up an inside joke between him and Kuroo. It brings up memories of their first training camp. How did the two of them go from hating each during their first year to boyfriends now? Only and hour locked in a supply closet will tell.

Inspired by this post by @asahisbunhair

As the time came nearer from the other schools to arrive at the training camp, Kenma could feel Kuroo basically vibrating in his seat from excitement. They had gotten a little practice in earlier, but now they were taking a break. They had to be good hosts and greet their guests, after all. “Kuro. You literally live ten minutes from Bokuto-san and you see him like every weekend. I don’t get why you’re so excited.”

             Kuroo grinned at Kenma and elbowed him in the ribs. Kenma didn’t look up from his game, but made a face at his friend. “Because Kenma, I get spend the whole training camp with him! We don’t even have to go home in between. I mean, yeah, we make time for each other, but school and practice keep us busy. This is an excuse to practice together and just be around each other. Also, we’re both in our prime being third years. Kou is better than ever and I’ve been perfecting my blocking techniques. This is our last training camp together too.”

             “But Kuro, you both have plans to go to college together.”

             “Oh, come on, you can’t tell me you’re not excited to spend time with Akaashi.” Kuroo winked at him, but Kenma refused to answer. His provocation skills did work, but only because he knew Kenma so well. It was subtle but the corners of Kenma’s turned up and there was a barely noticeable blush on his cheeks. Kuroo smiled to himself and he was glad Kenma was happy as he was even though Kenma would never show it. “That first year from Karasuno should be here too.”

             “You mean Shoyo? I just think he’s interesting, that’s all.” Kenma’s tone was even, but he knew what Kuroo was trying to get at.

             “It’s okay to admit he’s your friend, you know.”

             Before Kenma could respond, the coach called them to attention. “The buses are starting to arrive, go greet our guests and please be hospitable.”

             Kuroo’s eyes lit up and Kenma rolled his eyes. He led the team outside and his eyes scanned the area for a certain white uniform, but he didn’t need to search for long. Bokuto was looking for him as well. “TETSUUUUUUUU!” As usual, Kuroo heard his boyfriend before he saw him. Bokuto tore through the crowd and Kuroo braced himself for impact. Bokuto ran at him at full speed and jumped into his arms. He wrapped his arms around Kuroo’s neck and he legs up around Kuroo’s hips like a koala. Several of the Nekoma team members laughed and others groaned, used to the sight by now. Kuroo and Bokuto always acted like this no matter how much or how little time they spent apart. Bokuto was incredibly extra and Kuroo fed off of it. Somewhere in the crowd Akaashi was face palming at their PDA and thought made Kuroo laugh. He didn’t have it in him to be embarrassed by Bokuto’s actions because he was just as excited to see Bokuto.

             “You must have put on some muscle lately, Kou, you’re heavier than I remember.” Kuroo teased but grinned as Bokuto nuzzled his cheek against Kuroo’s before placing a kiss there.

             “You too, because you haven’t dropped me.”

             “Babe. I would never!”

             “Bokuto-san there are other people around, you know.” Akaashi said as he walked through the crowd to break up the couple. He was the only one who ever dared to come between them. He was basically Bokuto’s keeper, after all. He gave a small smile to Kenma who returned it with a bashful smile of his own.

             “Geez, Akaashi, I’m just greeting my boyfriend. Give me a break.” Bokuto gave Kuroo a quick peck on the lips before putting his feet down and begrudgingly pulling away.

             “You’re being completely inappropriate as usual.” Akaashi deadpanned and Kenma laughed at him. He loved Akaashi’s dry sense of humor because it matched his own.

             “Later, Kou, I have to go greet our new comers.” Kuroo whispered in his ear. “We’ll definitely get a lot of extra practice together later.” He walked over to greet the Karasuno team. “Daichi, glad you could make.”

             Daichi’s smile was polite but the tension was the same between them as always. They were cordial, but internally they pissed each other off. “Thanks for including us this year.”

             “Yeah, well, you actually seem like formidable opponents this year.” Kuroo smirked and greeted the rest of the team as well. “Let me show you to our main gym.” He looked around and noticed the freaky first year duo wasn’t among them. Tanaka and Noya were as noisy as usual, but otherwise the team was quiet. “Seems like you’re missing a few members.”

             “Yeah, Hinata and Kageyama had to take supplementary classes.”

             “Supplementary classes, huh? Shame, Kenma was looking forward to playing against the Shrimp.”

             “I was not, Kuro.” Kemna quipped from his side.

             Kuroo smirked at his friend and led them into the gym. “Make yourselves at home and start warming up, I’ve got to get a few things from the supply closet.”

             “Tetsu! Don’t get yourself locked in there.” Bokuto called from across the gym. They made eye contact and both burst out laughing.

             “Only if you’re in there with me, Kou.” Kuroo yelled back and the two laughed again.

             Daichi raised an eyebrow but didn’t say question it. Spontaneous laughter was quite common between the couple.

“It’s an inside joke between them. Something to do with how they got together.” Kenma said quietly to clarify. Kuroo winked at Daichi and walked into the closet, thinking back on their first training camp.

             It was during Bokuto and Kuroo’s first year when they met. Fukurodani was attending Nekoma’s training camp and they couldn’t stand each other. Bokuto was still cultivating his spiking skills and Kuroo was a just starting to become a crafty, intuitive player. He could read Bokuto’s moves after a few games against him and it pissed Bokuto off more than anything.

“Ugh, I can’t stand that first year, number 4. He’s so loud and annoying.” Kuroo whispered obviously to one of his teammates. They had just finished their final match and Nekoma had come out on top. It had been a grueling, close game and took all three sets and then some in the last to complete. Kuroo was feeling a bit smug and began his favorite past time of provoking others. Bokuto was an easy target and Kuroo loved messing with him the most. His reactions were always over the top and it amused Kuroo to no end.

             “I heard that, you jerk! At least I’m not a know-it-all show off like you.” Bokuto yelled from the other side of the court.

             “Oh yeah? That’s because I mean you to hear it, idiot.” Kuroo walked up to the net dividing them and sneered him down.

             “You stupid cat!” Bokuto stomped his way up to the net as well, getting up in Kuroo’s face. “I may be loud, but at least I can out spike you any day!”

             “Really?” Kuroo crossed his arms. “Tell that to all the spikes that I blocked. You’re completely predictable by now, you piece of shit.”

             “You just got lucky. You think you’re all cool and smart because you think you can read plays.” Bokuto ducked under the net and shoved Kuroo’s chest. “And what’s with your stupid hair? Why would you take the time to style it in a mess like that?”

             “At least I don’t spike mine up to look like an owl and this is all natural. And excuse you, asshole, I can read plays. At least I know how to recover from a bad play and don’t get all pouty like a child when my spikes get blocked.” Kuroo glared at Bokuto and smacked Bokuto’s hands away.

             “I’m not like a child! I’m going to be the best ace in country by my third year.”

             “I doubt it.”

             “Excuse me? And what do you expect to become? An even shitter middle blocker? Captain? No one would take direction from you.”

             “At least my teammates wouldn’t have to use false praise to cheer me up.”

             “Take that back!”

             “Never.”

             Bokuto reared back to clenched his fist, ready to sock Kuroo in the face, when the team captains stepped in between them. “Kuroo, back off.”

             “Take a step back and cool off.” The Fukurodani captain placed his hand on Bokuto’s chest and pushed him back. “Bokuto, you don’t want to get suspended for hitting him. We’re all sick of this. You’re staying after to clean the gym.”

             “You too, Kuroo.” Both of them protested by the captains didn’t waver one bit and threatened to kick them off their respective teams. They both loved volleyball more than they hated one another so they reluctantly backed down and got to work. Neither spoke directly to one another, but grumbled under their breaths about the other.

             It was when they were almost done and putting supplies away in the storage closet when Bokuto accidentally tripped over the doorstop holding the door open. It swung shut and slammed with a loud bang that echoed through the empty gym. “Good going, you clumsy idiot.” Kuroo snorted.

             “Shut up. It’s dark in here.” Bokuto stood up and tried to open the door but it didn’t budge. Bokuto’s eyes grew wide and he felt panic flood through him. He tried the handle again, jiggling it a few times, trying not to draw Kuroo’s attention. “Shit.” He cursed under his breath when the door still didn’t open.

             Kuroo heard the curse and turned his attention to Bokuto. It was pitch black in the room so he couldn’t see what Bokuto was doing. “What?”

             Bokuto sighed and finally admitted it, “…We’re uh, kinda locked in here.”  

             “You’ve got to be kidding me. Maybe you’re too stupid to open a door properly.” Kuroo walked like Frankenstein as he tried to feel his way to the door. Bokuto heard a loud thump and Kuroo cursing. He didn’t want to laugh in this situation, but it was hilarious to hear his rival getting hurt. A few more bumps and stumbles and curses later, Kuroo finally made it to the door.

             “For a cat, you’re kinda clumsy.”

             “Shut it! It’s dark in here.” Kuroo ran his hands over the smooth wood of the door until they found the round metal knob he’d been searching for. He ran his fingers over the knob feeling for the slot for a key but there was none. Unfortunately, this door only unlocked from the outside. He turned the knob, but it didn’t click or turn like he hoped. “You piece of shit! The door can’t be unlocked from this side! I’m going to kill you.” They stared at each other for a moment, although neither could tell if they were actually glaring at each other or just at the wall. They both broke after a minute and started banging on the door and yelling for help.

             “Come on, there has to be someone out there.” Bokuto groaned, hoping that someone would come get them or hear them.

             “They left us!” Kuroo yelled at Bokuto, “this was our punishment after all. Of course, everyone already went to their rooms. Good job genius, now we’re stuck in here.” Bokuto continued to bang on the door, but Kuroo had already accepted their fate. They’d just have to wait until someone realized they were missing.

             “No one’s there.” Bokuto said after a few mintues of banging.

             “No shit.”

             “I’m glaring out you, but you just can’t see it.” Bokuto felt along the wall by the door. His fingers fumbled along the drywall until he found the raised shape he was looking for. He flicked the switch down and the florescent lights buzzed to life, flooding the storage closet with their yellow light.

             “Oh, looks like you can do something right after all.” Kuroo muttered and walked over to make himself comfortable on one of the mats. He claimed the mat first since it was Bokuto’s fault and he assumed they’d probably be sleeping here.

Bokuto walked over and slid against the opposite wall, staying as far away from Kuroo as possible. “I can do a lot things right!”

             “Don’t talk to me.” Kuroo growled, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked away. He wouldn’t be in this situation if it hadn’t been for Bokuto and his stupid mouth or his dumb overreactions. Bokuto nearly punching him was what got them in trouble in the first place.

             Bokuto had to admit he did feel pretty bad about accidentally locking them both in here. He kind of wanted to apologize for that, but his pride was stopping him. The atmosphere in the room was so tense and awkward Bokuto swore he could nearly see it, like a fog swirling with bad energy. He snuck glances at Kuroo when Kuroo wasn’t looking and he swore Kuroo was doing the same. After a minute, he started chewing his lip and looking around the room. After two he started playing with a fraying hem on his shorts. He wasn’t really good at doing nothing or being quiet. After five minutes, he grabbed a volleyball and started twirling it on his finger. After ten minutes, he was looking at Kuroo again. After twenty minutes, he was bored out of his mind and wondered what Kuroo was thinking about. His eyes drifted off to Kuroo’s hair and curiosity got the best of him.

             “Does your hair really look like naturally?”

             Kuroo was caught a bit off guard, Bokuto’s tone was rid of all venom and mockery this time. “Yeah. It looks like that when I wake up. I’ve tried gelling it and stuff, but I have a habit of absently running my hands through it when I’m studying. The gel just made it more of a mess.”

             “I guess that’s kind of cool.” Bokuto said, forgetting a bit that he was supposed to hate Kuroo.

             “I’d be curious to see what yours looks like without the gel.” Kuroo was bored too and decided to indulge Bokuto. This was the first time since the start of camp that they weren’t screaming at each other.

             “It’s pretty flat and it gets in my eyes, so I gel it to keep it out of the way. I also happen to think it looks cool.”

             “It’s all right.”

             Bokuto’s eyes lit up and leaned forward a bit. “Was that almost a compliment?”

             “You did it to me earlier.” They both looked at each other and Kuroo had to admit, it was kind of endearing that a simple half-compliment had made Bokuto happy. There was something sweet about how little things could make Bokuto happy.

             “I think you could be a good captain in the future, you’re actually a natural teacher. You just have to use your sass for good.” Bokuto smirked at him.

             Kuroo couldn’t hold back the chuckle that escaped his lips. Apparently all Bokuto needed to open up was a little kindness. “I suppose, I think you could be a good ace if you could be more consistent and get your moods in check.” Kuroo was still acting like being nice to Bokuto was like pulling teeth, but regardless, he still meant it.

             “I was actually impressed by your blocking and reading skills.” Bokuto rubbed the back of his neck and broke eye contact with Kuroo to hide his embarrassment. “I was actually kind of jealous.” He didn’t plan on admitting that, but it now they there were being cordial, it seemed okay.

             “I think your spiking power is pretty amazing. I was jealous too, not a lot, just a little.” There was something about Bokuto’s honesty that made Kuroo want to be honest and real as well. “So, you hated me because you were jealous?”

             “I didn’t hate you…well I did, but because I think you could be a good volleyball player. You’re kind of an annoying opponent.”

             “I hated you because you’re a loud and annoying player. You draw attention and you actually deserve it. It’s infuriating to play against.”

             “Maybe you could teach me how to block?” Bokuto knew this truce between them was new and he was nervous as he tested the waters.

             Kuroo smirked, but Bokuto’s honest, sheepish smile made that smirk turn into a genuine smile. “Maybe I will, but I can’t tell you all my secrets. I won’t lose against you.”

             “I won’t lose against you either! You’ll see, by next year, I’ll be on a whole other level.”

             “Same goes for me.” Kuroo shot back and a silence fell between them again. Both were grinning at each other and the silence was no longer tense, it was almost friendly. It stretched out for another ten minutes before Bokuto got uncomfortable sitting on the floor. Cautiously, he stood up and walked over to where Kuroo was perched on top of the mats. He watched Kuroo’s eyes and when they didn’t glare at him, he slid down against the wall, taking a seat next to him.

             “What? You’re hogging the mats and the floor’s getting uncomfortable.”

             “I didn’t say anything.”

             “So, what do you do outside of volleyball and school?”

             Kuroo shrugged. “I play video games. I have an xbox one, so I play like Overwatch, COD, but I also have a Steam account so I play a lot of random games on my PC too. Kenma’s a huge gamer and got me addicted.”

             “Dude me too! I play those games. We should play together sometime.”

             “Yeah? Just don’t get moody when I kick your ass.”

             “No way man!” Both boys started to relax and their animosity had all but melted away. “Do you play any other sports?”

             “Nah, I do like running though.”

             “Me too, bro. There’s something freeing and relaxing about running, y’know?”

             Kuroo nodded and gazed off into the distance as he thought about it. “Dude, I do. It’s like if I run fast enough I could go anywhere and no one could catch me.”

             “Exactly! I run when I’m stressed out.”

             “Same.” Kuroo looked at Bokuto out of the corner of his eye and noticed Bokuto’s toned biceps. He’d spent so much time angry at Bokuto he didn’t really get a good look at him before. Up close Bokuto had a really handsome face and his arms looked strong. Kuroo wanted to hit himself of thinking about it, but he bet if Bokuto would hold him in those arms, he’d feel protected. Like no one could ever hurt him. Could you not for a moment. Kuroo scolded himself and shook his head, trying to stop himself from thinking like that. “With those biceps, you must lift in your free time.”

             Bokuto grinned and flexed for Kuroo. “Yeah dude! I have to strengthen my arms to get the best powerful spikes.”

             “Do you have a girlfriend? I bet the girls at your school would like it.” And I kinda do to…fuck…

             “No.” Bokuto suddenly looked sad and Kuroo regretted asking. “I was totally into this girl in my class. I used to help her with your math homework and stuff. I just asked her out before we came here…” He teared up and Kuroo’s heart went out to Bokuto. He’d felt that before.

             “Come here, big guy.”

             Bokuto didn’t hesitate and scooted closer and laid his head on Kuroo’s shoulder. Bokuto nuzzled his face into Kuroo’s neck and wrapped an arm around his torso. “Dude. I haven’t even told my team about this. I asked her out and she said no. She did thank me for helping her get an A on her test. She was flirting with me! I can be kind of dense with those things, but another girl in my class said she was. She used me to get an A and rejected me just like that. It was like I didn’t matter. Who does that?”

             “Oh, shit. That’s sucks Bo. I wouldn’t reject you, bro.” Kuroo really felt compassion for his former rival and ran a hand through Bokuto’s hair. He was surprised that even with all the product in his hair, it managed to stay soft. They would have quite the story to tell when they got out of here. No one would believe it. Bokuto and I hated the shit out each other and now we’re…I don’t know…friends?

             “Bro…” Bokuto was about to continue but the locked clicked loudly and the door swung open.

             “What the hell?” The Nekoma captain was staring at them, completely taken aback. “It’s been like two hours since I told you to clean up so I came looking for you. And this is what I came back to? What happened?”

             Bokuto quickly pulled away from Kuroo and wiped his eyes. Kuroo looked at Bokuto with a smile and answered for them. “Bokuto accidentally got us locked in here. We thought we’d have to wait until morning.”

             “Yeah, we were bored and started talking. We totally bonded!” Bokuto smiled and stood up, offering a hand to Kuroo up. Kuroo took his hand gratefully and stood up. He wished he had his phone so he could take a picture of the captain’s face. The frozen surprise and slight horror was priceless.

             “I don’t have enough energy right now for this. Just get your things and get to bed.” The captain said, shaking his head as he exited the gym.

             Bokuto and Kuroo both looked at each other for a moment before they both burst out laughing. They doubled over, the laugh shaking through their bodies, and it caused tears to come to their eyes. their roaring laughter didn’t die down for several minutes.

             Kuroo was gasping for air by the time he was able to speak again. “Dude. Did you see his face?”

             “Bro, he was kinda terrified as well as surprised.”

             “He was so done with us.”

             “True!”

             Bokuto smiled at Kuroo, and for the first time, he was kind of sad that they were going to leave tomorrow. “I think I’m going to miss you.”

             Kuroo blinked a couple of times, not sure if he heard Bokuto right. He looked into those big, beautiful, golden eyes and they were as sincere as ever. it made him feel warm and tingly inside like he’d just stepped into a warm shower. “You know, me too. We should hang out sometime.”

             “That’d be awesome.”

             Kuroo shook his head and grabbed his bag, leading the way out the gym. “Bro, this is crazy. You were my rival when this camp started and now we’re friends.”

             Bokuto grinned, “I know. I think it’s kind of cool.” Bokuto held a hand out for a high five and Kuroo didn’t even hesitate to return it.

             “Don’t think I’ll be going easy on you now that we’re friends.”

             “You better not, I might actually punch you in your pretty face.”

             Kuroo bit his lip and was glad it was dark outside so Bokuto couldn’t see the blush that just spread across his ‘pretty face’. “No! I need my looks, it’s all I have.” Kuroo responded back dramatically, making Bokuto laugh again.

             “Kou! I need your strong arms to help me with this!” Kuroo yelled coming back to the present. If he had thought Bokuto’s arms were sexy then, they were even more so now. Bokuto did get stronger and broader shoulders by the next year and Kuroo was in trouble.

             Bokuto’s eyes lit up just like they did when Kuroo first complimented him and he ran across the gym. “Of course, you do! No one’s got guns like these!”

             Kuroo grinned at him and kicked the closet door shut after Bokuto entered. “Oops.”

             Bokuto smirked and him and backed Kuroo’s body into the wall. “They’ll come get us when they need to start the games.” Kuroo looked down at him and grabbed the front of Bokuto’s shirt, pulling him close, but not close enough. Their lips were inches apart and Bokuto could feel the heat radiating off Kuroo’s body. “Stop being a tease already.” Bokuto murmured, brushing their lips together as he did. Kuroo lost the rest of his restraint and kissed Bokuto with feverish excitement. The kiss was passionate and a bit needy from their time apart. They wasted no time pushing forward, lips parted and tongues brushed together. Bokuto let out a soft moan and Kuroo got lost on how soft Bokuto’s lips felt against his own. This time, they can’t say they minded being trapped together.
