HMBAU Chapter 1: Spring Band Camp

this is part of my haikyuu marching band AU (acronym HMBAU) and the rest of it is on AO3, but I’m just gonna publish it here too. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Spring Band Camp

“1ST, 2ND AND 3RD YEARS WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER GREAT BAND CAMP!!” our head Drum Major Daichi said to us through the megaphone  and I guess decided to speak to us normally (finally)

“For you 1st years who may not know, my name is Daichi Sawamura. I'm a 3rd year and  our band’s head drum major. Standing beside me are my fellow drum majors 3rd years Shinsuke Kita and Kiyoko Shimizu as well as 2nd year Keiji Akaashi. Now may all section leaders and captains step forward so you can introduce yourselves”

Wow. Why didn’t someone have Daichi do the talking last year?!? I remember being bored as piss when our head drum major last year took forever with his speech and made it all sappy and shit.

And oddly Kyotani was the first to step up (probably just wanted to get it over with tbh)

“Kentaro Kyotani snare section leader” “Kozume Kenma Bari Sax section leader” and kenma didn’t even look up from his psp while doing this. 

“Tetsuro Kuroo, tuba section leader”, “Kotaro Bokuto, assistant tuba section leader”, “Wakatoshi Ushijima, trumpet section leader”, “Satori Tendou tenor sax section leader ;)”, “Osamu Miya, flute section leader”

Right after Osamu introduced himself stupid Atsumu had to lose any shred of chill he had and just scream:

“ATSUMU FUCKING MIYA BEST ASSISTANT TRUMPET SECTION LEADER AND MIYA TWIN”

Only for Iwaizumi to step in and hit the bastard in the back of the head

“Iwaizumi Hajime, brass captain”

Honestly after iwaizumi introduced himself I kinda may have gotten distracted by his sleeveless arms and how awesome his handling of the idiot blond was and missed like more than half of the section leader intros untill:

“Tooru Oikawa, woodwind captain. Feel free to ask me for help anytime”

And he was looking straight at me 

Apparently Oikawa was the last one to introduce himself because Daichi immediately started talking again

“Alrighty I know that kind of took a while because there are a lot of us leaders, but I want everyone to have a good first rehearsal!”

And then I heard Suga yell “Alrighty flutes make a circle! We’re going to introduce ourselves to each other! Akaashi, would you like to join us?”

“Sure” 

“Great! This is how we’re going to do it: first and last name, what year you are, what’s your birthday, your favorite food, your favorite color, a hobby or yours, and a fun fact about yourself! After we go we’ll point to someone or say their name. I’ll start. Koshi Sugawara, I’m a 3rd year, December 31st, super spicy maro tofu, black and orange, volleyball, and I am aspiring to be an elementary teacher! I pick Osamu next!”

“Osamu Miya, 2nd year, October 16th, black and white, onigiri, cooking, and I have an idiot twin brother named atsumu. I pick Akaashi next”

Are all the leaders just picking on each other today?!

“Keiji Akaashi, 2nd year,December 5th , nanohana with karashi, blue and gold, drawing/writing, and I’m fluent in 4 languages. I choose Oikawa to go next”

“Hi there! My name is Tooru Oikawa, I’m a 3rd year, my birthday is July 20th, my favorite fodd is milkbread, my favorite colors are white and teal, I love playing volleyball, and a fun fact about myself is I actually am the starting setter for our school’s volleyball team! Hmm…maybe I shoukd pick one of you shy girls how abooouuut…Y/N!”

I froze

“Uh m-maybe n-not m-me I-I’m not that interesting”

I looked over at Osamu to help me out a bit but he betrayed me and said “come on Y/N everyone’s gotta do it, and besides you aren’t gonna get away from it this year. I know you are shy but you need to come out of your shell a bit”

“F-fine you win. I’ll try” and I not liking this shit spoke even softer than before: “My n-name is Y/N L/N, I’m a 2nd year, my-”

And Suga cut in with “I’m sorry for interrupting you Y/N but I’m having a really hard time hearing you, can you please speak up a little?”

“Uh s-sure.” I took in a deep breath and started again

“My name is Y/N L/N, I’m a 2nd year, my birthdays on April 7th,my favorite food is F/F, my favorite colors are aqua, dark heliotrope, and black, so basically all the colors from the aurora borealis, I d-don’t r-really have any hobbies, and I’m not that interesting of a person so I don’t have any fun facts I’m sorry”

All the 2nd and 3rd years were shocked because this was the most they’ve ever heard me say. And Suga basically being the mom of the section decided to say more about me because apparently he wasn’t satisfied with my answers

“What our dear Y/N forgot to mention was that she's captain of the dance team, top of her class, in our school’s top choir, and most impressive of all is she knows 9 languages fluently! And despite being so reclusive she’s very very sweet and loves helping people” he smiled softly at me knowing what he just did

He just focused everyone’s attention onto me 

I looked around frantically for who could take the attention off of me and I caught the eye of Daishou’s ex-girlfriend Mika and blurted out “U-uh M-Mika-san a-are you ok with going next?”

“Sure! I don’t mind! Honestly thought I would never get picked this early so thank you!” she smiled at me and began her schpeal and I couldn’t be more grateful 

What I hadn’t noticed was I had stood up and ran to the bathroom without saying anything

Hopefully Oikawa wasn’t gonna do a surprise jug check today

And then another thought hit me 

The flute leaders and a drum major now knew my birthday

Oh fuck

LE TIMEYSKIIIIIP

Fuck it was cold out here and it was already 10 in the morning

But hey we’ll all get hot quickly despite it being 56° outside 

“Alrighty everyone one lap around the field!”

And with that we were off for the first lap of spring band camp

[sugarfluffandallthatgoodstuff]

HMBAUChapter 2: The Start and End of  an Era

I just decided that instead of trying to stay mid-pack and drag out the running on a torture rack I would just sprint this enormous 0.7 mile lap and get over it

But it seems my lovely woodwind captain had other plans

Because now instead of being middle-front he was now next to me

“Wow Y/N-chan you’re running quite fast! Maybe you should slow down a little.”

“No can do Oikawa-san I’m just trying to get done”

“I think you’re not understanding me. I’m telling you that you need to slow down. Non-negotiable ok?”

I couldn’t believe my ears! Was he jealous of my running fast or something?

“I don’t understand why you’d say that”

“I just don’t want you to get hurt ok? So please just slow down a little”

“If it makes you happy then sure”

So I slowed down 

but he didn’t leave

“Soooo Y/N-chan how does it feel to be 5th chair in SWC? I’m actually surprised based on the way you played last year that you weren’t in a higher ensemble!”

“Ah well I think maybe the band director made a typo and accidentally wrote my name instead when he meant to put Michimiya since we all know she’s really good and wanted this for a long time, so to answer your question I don’t feel like I’m meant to be there”

“Ah classic impostor syndrome! Don’t worry Y/N-chan even if you don’t feel worthy now I’ll personally see to it that you become the player you want to be! And besides I heard your audition and thought it was SWC calliber!”

“Wait you heard my audition?!?”

“Of course! I always want to hear the section auditions and actually am given some imput on who goes where!”

And with that our lap was done

Shit I didn’t even get to ask him what he meant

And now we have to do the stupid laying on the ground stretches so now I can’t ask him what he meant until at least lunch break

God why can’t we just learn drill instead?

TIMEYWIMEY SKIIIIIIIIPP

“Already everyone good Visual Block! Enjoy your lunch and remember Brass is in the gym and Woodwinds are in the Multipurpose Room for music block!” Daichi said while packing up the metronome

I knew I didn’t bring anything for lunch 

Now I just needed to hide from my section in a hidden notch in the school’s quad

Which was almost successful

But of course god decided to be like “lol no!”

Because now Bokuto was across me

“Hey hey hey whatcha got for lunch? I was kinda hoping I could try whatever you had”

“O-oh Bokuto-san I didn’t see you there! I uh-may have accidentally um forgot my lunch… but it’s ok! I’ll be fine”

Nice

Or not

“Damn what a bummer! Come on, I'll get you something! Besides how could you even expect to survive out here with how hot it is?!” he said as he helped me up and took me to the air conditioned gym

“OH GUUUUYS~ SOMEONE FORGOT HER LUUUUUNCH!” damn you Bokuto

“Y/N-chan! How could you forget something so important?! I’ll give you some of my milkbread! And no you may not refuse” Oikawa had chimed in almost immediately after Bokuto said that

And of course Bokuto brought me to where he usually sits with all his leader and brass friends were

And he knew all 3 of my leaders were good friends of his and he wanted to make sure no one slipped through the cracks

Too bad for him that I managed to slip under his radar all of last year

But that was then and this is now 

“I can give you some gatorade and a banana. You really should be on top of your electrolytes while working as hard as we do” Kuroo said while scanning me up and down like he was trying to remember who I was but couldn’t quite put a finger on it 

And this circle of people included Osamu, Sugawara, Kuroo, Oikawa, Iwaizumi, Akaashi, Yaku, Daichi, Kita, and Bokuto

So literally the worst people to try and be sneaky with

“So what were you planning to bring for lunch Y/N? Or were you planning and ran out of time?” Sugawara asked suspiciously

“I h-had a plan but had no time to execute said plan”

“That didn’t answer Suga-chan’s question Y/N-chan” Oikawa pointed out while keeping a strong gaze on me

“...a baby apple and a little bit of peanut butter…” I whispered softly

“Could you say that a bit louder please Ms.Y/N?”

“I s-said a baby apple and a little bit of peanut butter…” damn it now they know I wasn’t planning to eat fucking anything that would satisfy their weird standards of meal quality for people

Osamu looked like he was about to faint and the others audibly gasped at my response

“That’s it, we are now in charge of your band camp meals. Sorry Y/N but you’re at our mercy now and you get to have no say and yes this means we will all be making your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the duration of camp. No buts or exceptions.”

AND THIS WAS COMING FROM FUCKING IWAIZUMI WHO WASN’T EVEN EVER NEAR ME OR EVEN I’M SURE KNEW ME

I stood there shocked as Bokuto and Kuroo helped me to sit down as the others piled some food onto a spare paper plate and set it in front of me 

“I-I c-can’t accept this! It’s too m-much of a burden on you all!”

“Nonsense! Sometimes I have extras and it’s better for it not to be wasted going into the trash right?” Yaku said to me smiling as he prepared the first bite

Little had I known

This was the end of my hermit-hood

[sugarfluffandallthatgoodstuff]

May the music carry the spirit

Oikawa x marching band!reader

Key because of a new POV replacer on Wattpad:

Y/N=your name (mainly first)

L/N=last name

f/c= favorite color

f/s/a= favorite stuffed animal

f/f=favorite flower

You are a 2nd year and Oikawa is a 3rd year and you play flute in this (yes I’ve played flute myself for 11 years now so… prepare for band nerd jargon) (also Oikawa's dialogue is written in blue, the announcer is in orange, and the section leader is in pink

anyway let's get started

YOUR POV

I sadly got to start my day with my alarm blaring at full volume with my sheet music now doused in my 40 ounces of bang energy drink so I could practice all night (but that didn’t turn out well obviously). 

Jee i wonder how this day could possibly get worse

Oh yeah

We perform our indoor show today at one of our school’s volleyball games

And we don’t even get to sit with the other Seijoh students until after the show (which is AFTER the first set regardless of who takes it) and then play pep tunes the other 2 sets where I of course was given a solo and am on the mic everytime we play one certain song

But to add more insult to this mortal injury

Both teams would be watching us from the stands during our show to give more attention to marching bands indoors and because of an outrageously important audition for us

TIME SKIP TO JUST BEFORE THE GAME 

We had just gotten off the bus when Iwazumi came running up to me to ask if I knew where the director is (yes he knows me because we were almost on the same page academically.)

“Hey L/N do you know where the band director is?”

“Sadly I am not sure since he wasn’t on our bus, however I think he’s on bus…1 I think?”

“Oh uh thank you. And um… good luck? Is that what we’re supposed to say?”

“I mean you’re kinda close. We say ‘have a good show’. Have a good game Iwa-kun.”

“Have a good show L/N”

We walked into the entrance of the gym with our instruments while the percussion went and got the props and technology and the team went to the locker room but, on the way to our designated warm up areas

*oof* 

”OMG OMG OMG I’M SO SO SO SORRY! LET ME HELP YOU I-”

“Oh hi Y/N-chan you’re all good! Are you ok?” and he said this while i was looking for my horn

“OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOO MY HORN!”

“I’m so confused what are you talking about”

“I HAVE TO DO 1,000 PUSHUPS NOW! NOOOOOOOO”

“L/N it’s only 50 for you ms.soloist”

“NO! IT’S 1,000 FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO LEARN!”

*sigh* “besides you have the most banged up flute anyway”

“Y/N-chan! You have to be nice to yourself! Iwa-chan has told you too!”

“Ok so here’s how it is Oikawa-san, I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO SURVIVES DEATH BLOCK NOW I can hold mine up perfectly for 30 minutes straight!”

“I better not catch you doing more than 10 push ups!”

“Whatever you can’t stop me meanie-kawa not even my section leader knows it’s good for me”

“ I’d be careful if I were you Y/N-chan~”

I walked away to the end and did 20 burpees right in front of Oikawa just out of spite and screamed back:

“I STILL HAVE THE 1,000 TO DO OIKAWA-SAN”

And of course he yells back at me:

“Y/N-CHAN NOOOO 😭”

“YOU BETTER PLAY WELL TODAY DUMMY-KAWA”

“WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO MEAN TO ME LIKE IWA-CHAN!?”

I ran off to the warm up area while giving Oikawa a peace sign

OIKAWA’S POV

I watched as Y/N-chan jogged away while holding up a peace sign and without her knowing I was blushing uncontrollably 

I can’t be thinking like this before an important game! We’re really good but that doesn’t mean we can let our guard down while playing Date Tech

I’ll win for her 

I’ll win for Y/N and cheer her on during her show

I went with the team to the locker room we shared with the band because they only put their band uniforms over their squad shirts and compression shorts 

And what did I see?

Y/N DOING PUSH UPS

YOUR POV

“178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185…” 

“Y/N-chan! Don’t push too hard, you'll hurt yourself!”

“196, 197, 198, 199, 200, DAMN IT OIKAWA I LOST COUNT NOW I HAVE TO START OVER >:( “

“Y/N-chan no just no. No more push-ups for you.”

I got up and looked him in the eye (which I never do) { hehehe author-chan never does this lol}

“If I push hard then I get better I thought you would know that too”

“Ok but I don’t punish myself harshly for something small”

“Look I understand this is important but I need to get in the head space to perform and I don’t want to burden you by clouding your mind and judgment with this because I know I don’t matter as much as your game. And I don't want you to think I’m doing this to be hurtful to you. I know how important performing in your sport is and how important it is to you. I don’t want to get in the way of that.”

“Your health is important too, you know. Iwa-chan taught me that and it made me a better player. I think it would make you a better musician if you took care of yourself too”

“I’ll see you later Oikawa-san I have to go warm up now. Have a good game!”

I clapped my hand on his shoulder and smiled a closed mouth smile at him and shook his hand

“I’ll teach you the woodwind handshake if you want me too later :) “

“Sounds great Y/N-chan!”

I walked and got my flute and started warming up on scales while walking away and then flexed by playing the solo from Carmen’s Entra’cte by Bizet and then Bach’s sonata in E major while backwards marching and giving him a wink

OIKAWA’S POV

I just watched in absolute awe as she walked away playing like a pro musician.

“Oi Shitty-Kawa we’re going to warm up soon”

“Y-yeah I’ll be there in a hot sec”

Then he hit me upside the head 

“SNAP OUT OF IT WE HAVE A GAME SHITTY-KAWA”

“I-Iwa”

“WHAT”

“ I-I think I’m in love”

“Oh dear god.”

“Then play well for her if you want to show her!”

“I will then!”

TIMESKIP TO THE START OF THE GAME AND POV CHANGE BACK TO YOURS

As the boys were lining up and getting ready to play we started playing “The Greatest show” to hype up the crowd more (if that’s even possible lol)

And as we neared the end of the diminuendo and the song the captains shook hands and we went off the court out to prepare for the show after the first set

We may have not gotten to see them play but we were ready to show everyone what we were made of

We stepped out onto the court and were introduced

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IN CLASS 4A PERFORMANCE THE AOBA JOHSAI MARCHING BAND. THEIR PROGRAM IS ENTITLED ‘MAY THE SPIRIT CARRY ON’ WITH DRUM MAJORS DM/1, DM/2, DM/3, AND DM/4 WITH SOLOIST L/N Y/N”

{a/n the flute solo is Bach’s orchestral suite No.2 in B minor, BWV}

TIMESKIP TO THE END OF THE SHOW CAUSE I’M LAZY AS ALL FUCK

“BE SURE TO STAY AFTER THE GAME TO SEE IF THEY MAKE IT TO THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS”

As we were leaving and the boys were coming back to play OIkawa-san and I made eye contact for a mere millisecond and we both blushed and looked away and continued on our own path and then he stopped in his tracks turned around and said “Y/N-chan you were great! Can’t wait to see you up there!” “th-thank y-you Oikawa-san”

TIMESKIP TO THE END AFTER THE GAME FINISHES AND THEY WIN

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN NOW FOR THE REVEAL OF THE SCORE! WITH AN OVERALL SCORE OF 92.945 THAT'S 9-2-.-9-4-5 CONGRATULATIONS ON ADVANCING TO THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS! AND FOR THE SOLO SCORE… WITH A SCORE OF 89.967 L/N Y/N CONGRATULATIONS!”

My heart sunk 

I was supposed to break 90

I didn’t

My solo score brought us down

I wanted to cry

I retained my composure as I went up to get my medal

Afterwards the team was able to come down to congratulate all of us and who came up to me?

Iwa and Oikawa

“Good job L/N-chan-”

“I scored too fucking low”

“Huh?”

“I was supposed to break 90 and we could have made a better set of qualifiers”

“That doesn’t change that you were really good”

Then Oikawa chimed in

“Y/N-chan you did so well and this is only the beginning right?”

“True but I-”

“Y/N there’s no reason for you to be angry. You’ll beat them but you at least know where you stand right?” it was weird not hearing Oikawa using an honorific but I knew he was serious

“T-true?”

“So don’t let this benchmark stop you. Keep going!”

“I guess?”

“You wanna know something else Y/N-chan?”

“S-sure?”

“I’m in love”

Holy crap

Did he finally fall for one of his fangirls? Who was lucky enough to be the one he had his eyes on?

“Who’s the lucky girl? Is it one of your fangirls?”

“No. no. no they don’t come close to this girl”

“I have no idea then Oikawa-san I need a hint”

“We should go out into the hall the next group’s coming in”

So we went out

“She’s smart, beautiful, kind, and her talent is incredible”

“Uhh….. I got nothin I actually know no person like that”

“Really? That’s quite tragic that you don’t see those things in yourself”

“Hold on WHAT?!?”

“That’s right. You’re the one I fell for Y/N…I love you it’s ok if you don’t feel the same I”

“I love you too Tooru” I went in and gave him a hug

“I’m still not gonna let you do your push-ups because I love you too much and I don't want your arms to fall off”

I looked up at him and slooooowwwly got out of his embrace took a step back and continued from 200 push ups from where I left off

“201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207…”

And so he of course got down to my level and laid down so his head was under mine and he kissed me when I went down for another push up

“Oikawa no I’m trying to do my push ups!”

“Well I think you should get a kiss for every push-up then”

“It’s supposed to be a punishment not a reward!”

“I don’t think my precious girl should be punishing herself period”

So I tried to move away but he just got up and moved to my location and squatted only to wrap his arms around my torso and just started tickling the shit out of my tummy and ribs

“NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP”

“You wanted to punish yourself right? So here it is! Best part is you’re smiling and laughing which makes me happy”

“YOUOHOUHOUHOUHOUHOU AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHASS”

“That’s not very nice Y/N-chan! Now I’ll have to tickle you more!”

He moves his hands up to my armpits and somehow thinking ahead he flipped me over and sat all in one motion while keeping my wrists pinned under his legs and just going wild fluttering his fingers all over my torso and armpits with seemingly no intention to stop

“Wow, Y/N-chan you’re so cute and ticklish!”

“NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHO STAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP PLEAHEHEHEEHHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHESE”

“Ok ok ok I’ll stop now”

 He gets up off me and pulls me in for another kiss and a hug 

“I’m paying for dinner tonight by the way”

“No I’m gonna pay. I don’t care if you think you should. You won your game so it’s my treat”

“B-but I-I-I-”

“No buts I’m paying”

“Meanie I should be paying for you for performing so well :( “

“You can pick the place though”

“Fine”

“Do you want lessons for music because you seemed quite interested and dumbstruck during the woodwind feature”

“Sounds good to me! And I’ll give you volleyball lessons in return!”

“GET A ROOM YOU TWO EW!”

And with that we were off to dinner 

But not before he got me a f/c f/s/a and a bouquet of f/f

I might make a part 2 I haven't decided
