a little yakkun from rendering practice that i forgot to share

[mantou-rin]

Sharks are cute, but you're still my favourite

Prompt: Aquarium date with Yaku

Characters: Morisuke Yaku, reader

Genre: Fluff

Word count: 897

Yaku thought about you a lot. And he often thought about what his favourite expression of yours was. Of course seeing you happy and excited was one of his favourites, but he also couldn't forget about the time when the both of you went to one of those science museums in town and how fascinated you looked when you saw all the different exhibitions. Well not to mention the multiple times you went to cheer him on at his volleyball matches, the way you couldn't sit still in your seat and your jumps of happiness whenever his team scored a point will never fail to make his heart do a million backflips. 

But today, in this moment right now, Yaku may have finally settled on his favourite expression of yours. 

Your body was literally pressed against the shark tank, your eyes wide open as they tracked every movement of the fish inside the tank. The little noises of excitement you made every time a new fish came swimming along but most importantly, your little jumps each time you saw a shark - undoubtedly your favourite animal in the aquarium. 

Yaku felt like he was gonna pass out from how cute you looked at this point, but he did his best to hold it together, after all there was no way he didn't want to take in the sight of you at your happiest. You had mentioned before to him how you loved going to the aquariums as a child and how you thought that sharks were super cute. Yaku had made a mental note then to remember to bring you to the aquarium for a date, and indeed was he glad that he finally brought you there today. 

He couldn't help but sneak out his phone to snap a photo of you - it will probably be his new lockscreen for the next month. Yaku often did this, he loved taking photos of you when you weren't looking, partially because he realised that you didn't like to take photos of yourself, saying how you weren't really a photogenic person anyway. But in the field of flowers, Yaku always thought that you were the sunflower - bright, cheerful and of course the prettiest. 

The only time you took a photo of yourself was when you went to Disneyland with Yaku. The two of you had matching headbands on and you decided that the long mirror in the store was a perfect photo opportunity. You told Yaku that you felt comfortable taking a photo because he was standing right next to you.

That particular photo became a permanent wallpaper for the both of you. 

“It’s cute isn't it?” Yaku nodded towards the shark as he made his way to your side, his arm naturally making its way to hold you by your waist.

“It’s soooo friend shaped.” You replied, making random gestures with your hands, your eyes still fixated on the shark that was swimming past you.

Yaku’s heart exploded. He let out a soft chuckle and pressed a quick kiss to your temple - you were definitely cuter than all the fishes in the aquarium. 

“You took a photo of me just now didn't you?” You suddenly blurted out, catching Yaku slightly off guard. 

You were smart, and eventually you managed to figure out when Yaku sneaked photos of you. Usually it was moments where he wasn't by your side for more than a second. He wasn't necessarily the most clingy, but Yaku always made it a point to stand next to you and have your hand in his at all times if possible. 

Yaku simply nodded and showed you the picture he took just now, telling you once again how pretty you looked, which obviously led your cheeks to heat up slightly. All these years of dating and Yaku still made your heart race all the time. 

After spending a good amount of time at the shark exhibit, you finally left, although reluctantly. As the both of you continued to walk through the rest of the aquarium, you would occasionally drop random facts about the different aquatic life you read on the internet. Yaku loved listening to you talk, even if it was information he already knew or you already mentioned previously. He didn't mind, he completely adored the sight of you being so excited and if anything, he encouraged you to talk more. 

“Did you know that jellyfish have no brains, they're literally no thoughts head empty.” You said, pointing at one of the multiple glass tanks that had the said creature floating inside. 

“Really? Is that why you're always telling me you want to live like a jellyfish cause they seem so stress free?” 

You gave Yaku a nod and continued admiring the jellyfish in the tank. 

When the two of you left the aquarium, the sun had already set, and compared to the morning, the weather had gotten rather chilly. Yaku had carefully wrapped his scarf around you and held your hand inside his pocket, while giving you a heat pack to hold in the other. He always made it a point to keep you warm, knowing that you often got cold easily. 

“Did you have fun today?” He asked.

You looked at him and nodded your head a couple of times, your face wearing the brightest smile. 

“Can we come back again?”

“Of course we can, my love.”

first date headcanons | nekoma

a/n these are just some ideas on how i personally think these characters would ask you out on a date + the actual date. not proofread

characters tetsuro kuroo, kenma kozume, lev haiba, yaku morisuke

masterlist

tetsuro kuroo

would spend days maybe even weeks planning before actually asking you out

he'd ask kenma for advice

he'd just be nonchalant about it a vague

but his laid back responses would help kuroo calm down about the whole situation

despite all his planning, when the moment's right, he'd just go for it

how it would play out:

it would start w his usual teasing

very playful to tease any tension at all

he'd joke about how you two seem to never hang out outside of school

then his tone would shfit to one more sincere

and he'd just go for it

there would be no pressure from him at all

he'd explain how it'd just be a chill, fun night out just the two of you

i think he'd choose a restaurant for a first date

one he knows you'd love

just some place you could relax and enjoy each others company

throughout dinner, the convo would flow so easily thanks to him

he'd be talking about anything and eveyrhting

but would also be quiet and listren attentively whenever you had anything to say

would never cut you off

if you didn't like your food he would 100% switch with you if you seemed to like his more

after the restaurant

he'd take you someone that aligns with both your interests, whatever that is

like a botanical garden, bookstore, a cafe for dessert, wtv

constant chemistry between you two

he'd walk you home

now he'd get nervous

bc he'd really want to kiss you but just doesn't want to freak you out

so if the moment is right

and you seem to be sending the right signals

like saying how much you enjoyed your time together

and closing the gap between you two

he'd just go for it

after your kiss

he'd leave with a warm goodbye and a promise to text you when he gets home

kenma kozume

kenmas very introverted i think that parts obvious

so if he liked you he would take his time contemplating whether or not he should try to confess or even ask you out

but if he comes to the conclusion that he should

he would do it in a way that's both natural and comfortable for the both of you

like if you both like gaming

he'd use that as a bridge

he'd start dropping subtle hints whenever the two fo you are casually playing a game

like how fun it would be if you two tried out a new game together in person

or maybe even hang out a cafe?

i feel like he'd opt towards doing it on text rather than in person

it's less intimidating for him and he could carefully plan out what his message says

it would be simple and straightforward

after sending the text, he'd prob be a bit anxious waiting for your response

but when you say yes, he can't help but let out a small sigh of relief and a genuine smile

for the date, it would be somewhere comfy yet secluded

like a small, cozy cafe or bookstore that has a cafe

the convertstaion throughout your date would center around shared interests like gaming

and since kenma isn't one for constant chatter, he wouldn't feel uneasy if the convo ever got quiet, infact he prefers the silence more than ever since it's w you

his affection is shown through the small things

since he's not one for chatter, you'd most likely be the one carrying the convo while he atentively listens

you'd catch him giving you shy, soft smiles throughout the date

he wouldn;t make a big deal out of the goodbye

just a quiet, sweet, sincere thank you

but you will recieve a follow up message later that night with him clearly expressing that he enjoyed his time with you and asking if youd like to hang out again sometime soon

lev haiba

he is naturally enthusiastic and filled w energy

when he asks you out it would be a total accident

he woulda been bursting from excitement, barely able to contain his feelings

it prob woulda been after you complimented him on something

or even just a sweet thing you did for him that went completely unnoticed by you, but not by him

so he just confesses on the spot

Immediately asking you out on a date

his sincerity would be evident in his eyes

making it hard to resist his invitation

the date he takes you on would be packed with fun activities

he'd choose a mix of things to do to ensure theres never a dull moment

like going to an amusemnet park or ever the zoo

his playful energy would be contagious

he would make sure youre both having a blast

whether thats by riding roller coasters, playing arcade games, or mimicing the animals at the zoo

his natural charm would unintentionally come off as flirting

he'd make you laugh by doing just about anything

often teasing you in a lighthearted and affectionate way

despite his playful demeanor

hed show his sweet side through ways like letting you beat him at an arcade game, buying you your favorite snack, and just overall ensure that you are comfortable throughout the date

his tall build and boundless energy leads to some adorable clumsiness

and even in those awkward moments, he never seems to get embarrassed around you

but you do catch him blushing at times

his openness and vulnerability is definitely endearing

it just shows how much he cares for you

he'd waljk you home after

still buzzing with excitement

he'd thank you for an amazinf day

and he's quick to text you with details for the next date, eagerly getting ahead of himself

has everything for the next date planned out way before even asking you about it, even way before the first date ended

yaku morisuke

wouldn't prep much before asking you out

dont get me wrong hed want it to be special ofc but also not overly dramatic

he's observant

he pays attention to your likes and dislikes

so his approach would be based on what he knows you'd apperciate

he's reassuring, sincere, and gentle with how he asks you out

he makes it clear that his interest in you is genuine

the date he plans is well-organized

he'd take your interests and preferences when choosing the location of your date

oh but let me just say

he is a total GENTLEMAN

like chivalry is not dead, and that is due solely to him lol

his manners are impeccable

hed hold doors for you, pull out your chair, constantly checking in on you, etc

he'd keep the conversation engaging

asking you many questions to keep up the convo

but also inst shy about talking about himself

but not in a selfcentered way yk

he listens so well to everyhting you have to say

makes you feel heard and valued

he'd remember small details from previous conversations, showing how much he cares

if its a bit chilly

he would notice immediately and offer you his jacket

his protective nature evident in these tiny but meaningful gestures

constantly complimenting you throughou t the date

he would walk you home

thank you for a good time

he's so thoughful and heartfelt

you can;t help but kiss his cheek before saying goodbye

the genuine and starstruck look on his face leaves you looking foward to your next date

Late Night Study ~ Sugawara Koushi x Reader

All you wanted was to be in bed, cozy and wrapped around your boyfriend's arms. Instead, you were in the cold library, begging amidst sleepy eyes to call it a night. Why was Koushi so damn responsable? Original Request

Genre: Fluff. College!Sugawara

Warnings: None.

Words: 1.2k

Notes: What's with me and writing so much about studying lately? I swear I don't miss studying.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Come on, get your head up,” Sugawara insisted between whispers for the fifth time in the last half an hour.

You had your head lying on top of the notebook you were supposed to be studying from—not sleeping on it.

Sugawara took your head carefully with both hands and elevated it till his eyes met with yours, practically forcing you to look at him. Your eyes felt heavy and you could tell he probably felt the same. Right under caramel eyes, two dark half-moons overshadowed the usual shiny, pale skin. Your lips perked up in a tired pout and your eyebrows slightly furrowed. You were utterly displeased by the whole situation. If it was up to you, you would be in your dorm room, warm under a blanket with your boyfriend pressed against you and your laptop playing a movie for you two to doze off to. Instead, you were in the cold library under the horrible pressure of an upcoming final exam.

“We need to study,” Sugawara insisted, only causing your frown to deepen. He muffled a lazy chuckle. He lowered his hands so they were now wrapping your cheeks and he gently squeezed them, making your pout more pronounced. He chuckled again. “Just a little bit more. It’s a hard test.”

 “I know,” you sighed, setting yourself free from his playful hold. “It’s just… I rather we were cozy in my room. I’m tired and cold.”

You rested your back on the chair and threw your head backwards, shutting your eyes immediately before the heavy lights above you made them hurt. A few seconds later, you felt your arm being pulled, bringing your body back to the table. You were met with Sugawara’s begging face, silently pleading you to at least try. You sighed and nodded, giving in. He was not going to leave the library just yet, and you were definitely not leaving without him.

You rested your elbows on the table and focused on your notes again. You felt his smile on you, and for a moment, that smile inspired you to actually study and not just stare at the sentences on the white paper. He had been the one to help you organize your notes into an incredibly well detailed guide. He was right… After all the effort he was putting on helping you study, you could at least try a little harder.

You began from the top of the page, reading each sentence twice and sometimes thrice just to make sure the information was properly allocating itself in your brain—which was a massive challenge. Your eyelids got heavy again and the perfect silence of the space made it impossible to hold onto something that would stop you from closing your eyes. Eventually, it was inevitable. It was past ten in the night and you had been awake since six in the morning coming and going through exams and classes. Your head fell on your hand and then it slipped until your forehead met with the cold paper in a dry ‘thud’.

The sound of a hand slapping skin could be heard next as Sugawara covered his mouth, doing his best to stop his laughter. Even though it was late, you two weren’t the only ones in the library. A couple of students were already throwing shady glances at you thanks to the loud noise your forehead crashing on the table had made to then have Sugawara laughing out loud, disrupting everyone who was successfully focusing unlike you.

“Come on, we can do it,” he whispered to you once he had calmed down. You nodded, already knowing you were done for.

You sighed and pretended to read from the page, but you secretly used your arm to cover your phone and began trying the games you had downloaded there. It had been months since you had touched them but for the time being, they were the best you had. You peeked at your boyfriend. He was completely immersed in his notebook, using his pen to follow his lecture. It was better to not bother him. So, you turned your head and began playing your little mobile game in mute. Maybe you couldn’t study, but at least you would make him company.

Just like Sugawara in his study guide, you got completely lost in your game. So much, you hadn’t notice twenty minutes had gone by until you were called out, being caught

“Weren’t you studying?” Sugawara asked, perplexed. While you slightly jumped at his voice, you didn’t bother to move your head which was practically laying on the table. You only moved your eyes, directing at him. The dark circles around his eyes had just gotten worse and now you could see the thin red lines of the veins of his eyes. He was truly forcing himself to get through his study guide.

“Koushi… let’s leave,” you pleaded, then sat straight before continuing. “What’s the use of staying up studying if you’re going to be tired during the exam?”

This time, he didn’t rebut nor sent you straight back to your notebook. This time, you saw the hesitance in his face and how his fingers played with the corners of the notebook. Any sign of exhaustion in you disappeared at the sign of him wanting the same as you.

“Come on,” you insisted, leaning more into the table till half your body was on top of it and both your arms covered his notes. “You’re tired, too.”

The answer you got was something you didn’t expect. With his elbows on the table he elevated himself so his lips caught yours in an impossibly soft and slow kiss. It wasn’t coming from a place of lust, but because of how sluggish and weary he was. He was giving you all the energy left in him into that kiss. On any other occasion, that type of kiss would melt you into a mess of hormones–it still kind of did, but you were too tired to flirt. He pulled his head back and tilted to look at you. You could see from the corner of your eyes the people on the table next to you watching the little love-show you were putting up. You responded with another peck on his lips.  

“Is that a yes?” you asked.

Sugawara nodded. “Get me out of here.”

♡ Thanks for reading! ♡

[mantou-rin]

Hiii i love the haikyuu ones that you are writing, especially the one with thunderstorms. Can you please please make one with Oikawa, Kenma and Yaku on how they would react if one of their team mates would flirt with the reader/their s/o to make them jealous? Please please, thank youuu 🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨

Hi! Thank you for liking the writing that I've been putting out so far!

Unfortunately as I've mentioned in my masterlist I don't take requests due to personal reasons and I plan on keeping it that way, sorry!

[mantou-rin]

When you are afraid of thunderstorms

Characters: Kenma, Sugawara, Yaku

A/N: I'm wrote this as there was a thunderstorm outside. May or may not be based on personal experience, enjoy!

KENMA

You were tired, exhausted even. But the constant flash from the lightning and the sudden loud bang from the thunder made you tremble so much that you didn't dare to close your eyes. You focused on covering your ears with your hands as best as you can, praying that the thunderstorm would quickly end and that you could go back to bed. 

It took everything you had in you to not cry, you didn't have any free hands to wipe your tears away. You thought about Kenma who was in his streaming room and momentarily you considered calling for him. 

But you decided not to, he was working right now and it wasn't like he could stop the thunderstorm or anything. You decided it was best not to disturb him and get through your predicament by yourself instead. 

Suddenly a loud cackle rang through the air, causing you to jump as you let out a yelp. The tears that you had been working so hard to hold back let themselves run loose, promptly staining your face. You found yourself frozen in place and frankly, you did not know what to do. It was almost as if you were embarrassed of something your friends and family around you seemed to have no problem dealing with. 

You didn’t notice the door to your room opening as a blonde head peaked in. Kenma’s eyes immediately widened at the sight of you trembling on the bed, and he immediately rushed to your side and pulled you into a hug. Kenma had sensed that it was not a bad dream that had led you to this state, and judging by the very bad weather outside, it dawned on him that you were in fact, gravely afraid of thunderstorms.

Kenma silently cursed himself that it slipped his mind to check on you once the rain had started getting bad earlier that night. He almost resented the fact that he was more focused on his steam than he was with you tonight. After all, you were his number one priority, and although unintentionally, he took you for granted tonight. 

When you felt your boyfriend’s familiar embrace around you, your body automatically felt safe as you leaned into his touch, your hands slowly reaching down to return the hug. It was your way of saying ‘thank you for being here’ to Kenma. 

You felt Kenma slip his headphones on you - it was the noise cancelling kind, so instantly it was quiet. Kenma seemed to fidget with his phone for something, and you soon found out it was because he was finding one of those calming playlists to sooth you.  

Your body finally relaxed when it realised that you were safe in Kenma’s arms. And very quickly you fell fast asleep, with Kenma rubbing circles on your back. 

SUGA

You weren’t sure if you ever told Suga about how much you hated thunderstorms and how badly they scared you. You may have briefly mentioned it in a conversation before, and knowing Suga the chances of him remembering that little fact of you wasn't completely zero, but it was still low. 

From outside you began hearing the faint rumbling of thunder, and you grew worried. There was bound to be a thunderstorm tonight, and you wondered frantically how to break it to Suga about your fear. You knew he wanted to do a movie marathon that night and you knew that he intentionally set aside time for it. So the last thing you wanted to do was be a wet blanket and ruin his plans. 

You were inside the study room, finishing up some reports for work. Sighing, you leaned back into the chair and closed your eyes, deep in thought. 

Option A: tell Suga about your fear and risk ruining the date tonight. 

Option B: Don’t tell Suga and let him find out during the movie night, also ruining the date.

You frowned, no matter how hard you thought about it, every scenario you made up all seemed to have a ��bad end’.  

A voice calling your name snapped you out of your thoughts, and you turned to look in the direction of the sound. Suga stood at the door, his face wore a gentle smile and his eyes were bright, as if he just did something he was proud of.  “Come here for a bit, there’s something I want to show you.” 

You followed him into the living room and your eyes widened at the sight. One thing that was certain was that the movie marathon night was still happening. Suga had managed to build a little fort in the living room and you had to admit, it was the cosiest hideout you had ever seen, the lights were a warm shade of yellow and had been dimmed. He had also prepared a variety of snacks that he knew were your favourite. 

“Also if the thunder gets too loud I’ve got headphones and earplugs ready” Suga added, showing you a thumbs up. 

He did remember the little things you told him after all. You were touched, and thankful that you had such a caring boyfriend. The movie marathon that night was better than you had expected. Throughout the entire time, Suga never let go of you, constantly having his arm around your shoulder, and you knew that you were in very good hands.

YAKU

Your eyes shot open when you heard the loud bang. Adjusting to the darkness of the room, you took in your surroundings. The sound of the rain violently hitting your window was the only thing you could hear and immediately you grew worried upon realising there was a thunderstorm outside. 

Before giving you any time to react, there was a bright flash quickly followed by the loud clapping of the thunder once more. You had hurriedly tried to cover your ears, which helped to muffle the sound a little, but still you couldn’t help but let out a gasp because of how sudden it was. 

The bed shifted as you felt the person next to you stirred in their sleep. You turned to look at Yaku, who began to sit up upon seeing you awake. He was sleepy, his eyes were still half opened as he tried to figure out what was going on. 

At that moment you really wished you had the courage to speak and apologise to him for waking him up. You knew he had a long day and any moment of sleep probably meant a lot to him. However, you didn't have time to explain to him before another bright flash of lightning went off and you immediately threw yourself into his body, your arms tightening around him as you braced yourself for the loud thunder that was sure to follow. 

But Yaku’s reaction was faster and he quickly wrapped his arms around your head, covering your ears as best as he could. You couldn't see it, but his eyes were immediately alert, and you heard him make a ‘tsk’ sound, almost as if he was ready to scold the lightning for making your life so difficult. 

You felt Yaku reach for the bedside table, one of his arms still cradling your head so that the sound of the thunder would be muffled. Before you knew it, he gently placed earplugs into your ears and he carefully guided you back into the lying on the bed. Yaku pulled the covers over your head and held you close to him, humming a melody as he coaxed you back to sleep. 

You were thankful for him, because you knew that he was doing everything he could to help you with your fear, and you wanted to cry from how nice he was. Yaku placed a gentle kiss on your forehead as he told you to rest easy and go back to sleep.

“As long as I’m here, you don't have to worry about thunderstorms anymore”.

A harmless little prank

word count; 506 – f!reader

After practice, you and the other managers were asked to stay behind with the team captain and coaches, going over some plans for the next weeks. Meanwhile, a master plan was being made in the locker room.

A simple bucket of water on top of the door ledge would give Kuroo a refreshing surprise after a tough practice. It was the first years who planned it, ignoring how the second years said it was a bad idea, while the other third years just shook their heads and chuckled under their breaths. What’s a harmless little prank?

However, like their coach always says, things do not always go as planned.

Yaku always imagined these kinds of moments would play out in slow motion, but instead, he was watching at full speed as you, his sweet, loving girlfriend, opened the door and the bucket tipped over, soaking you in water.

The second years were doing their best to not laugh as Yaku’s face fell in absolute horror. The hurt in your eyes was delayed as they scanned around the room and landed on him. “What the hell?”

Yaku turned his attention to Inuoka and Lev who were both rambling apologies over each other. He was about to turn on demon mode when Kuroo came up behind you, stopping abruptly as he saw you standing in the doorway. “Woah, what happened here?” he said, about to add a joke when his eyes zeroed in on the way your uniform, now soaked, clung to your chest.

“Everyone stop staring!” Yaku practically growled, picking up his big sweatshirt and some clean sweatpants from the emergency locker and then coming over to give them to you, eyes threatening Kuroo without any words.

“It’s really cold,” you chuckled, and Yaku wrapped his arm over your shoulder to lead you to the bathroom so you could change.

The first years were holding their breaths, almost turning blue as they thanked the lords Yaku was distracted by you for the time being. When Yaku rounded the corner to stand outside the door and wait for you, they ran over to their bags and rushed the process so they could leave as quickly as possible, hopefully delaying their beating for tomorrow.

Just as they got out the door, Yaku came back with a stare that could only mean death, and Kuroo pointed him in the right direction. “You’re next,” Yaku told him before pushing past to get the first years by the neck of their shirts.

He made sure to kick their behinds until they would reconsider any more training this week. Kai was asking him to have some mercy, standing on a chair inside with his head out the little window to watch their antics too.

You strolled out after Yaku, wet uniform folded in your arms as you stood beside Kuroo and watched your boyfriend teach his underclassmen a lesson. “Think that prank was meant for you, cap.”

“Don’t I know it.”

“And Yaku was just gonna watch it happen.”

“Yes, yes he was.”

🍀 A/N: Posted on AO3 here! Enjoy! 💚

“Kenma?” you call out, hand rapping on the door, but there is no response. You knock one more time before opening the door, observing as the light from the hallway pools into the dark room. Your eyes naturally drift to the corner, where you immediately spot him sitting on his bed, hunched over and eyes glued to the game in his hands. The dim light from the screen casts a glimmer in his concentrated eyes. A lighthearted grin spreads on your face as you stroll over to Kenma carefully to not startle him.

“Oh, hi Y/N,” Kenma shifts his gaze to your languid form, flashing a small smile before returning to his game.

“Hi. I thought you were going to the bathroom.”

“I was.”

“Pretty long way to go to use the bathroom don’t you think?” You take a moment to admire the simple layout of his childhood bedroom. Just a bed, a desk, and a large shelf of video games. It’s quite fitting for him, you think to yourself. It’s nice to know some things never change. 

Kenma doesn’t respond to your question and instead hums in contemplation, brows furrowed, thumbs anchored to the gamepad and buttons while staring at the now paused screen. You can’t help but admire the soft glow on his face. His hair is usually down, shielding his cat-like eyes from view, but now the strands are tucked neatly into a ponytail. 

“Lev was annoying.” is all he says, and you can’t help the chuckle that rumbles from within. Your hand moves to tuck a stray piece behind his ear, fingers dancing along his jawline until his face rests in your palm. 

“You always think Lev is annoying,” you reply with a grin. But it begins to wilt at the image of Kenma slipping away to escape the noise and chaos of Kuroo’s Nekoma reunion. Maybe he’s overwhelmed or exhausted, and you failed to notice anything. “You sure you’re okay, Ken?”

“I am.” Kenma sinks his head further into your hand until it eventually rests on your shoulder. In turn, your arm naturally finds its way around his blanket-clad shoulder. “I just wanted to sit in my room for a bit. I like it better.” The straightforwardness in his answer is reassuring, and you breathe a sigh of relief.

“You could’ve told me you know? I don’t want you to be lonely.”

“You looked like you were having fun. I didn’t want to force you to come with me. That’s why I have this.” Kenma tugs at the edges of the blanket you gave him many years ago. You’re surprised he still has it, but you’re even more surprised by how well taken care of it is. A ghost of a smile appears on his face as his fingertips caress the soft fabric. “It’s warm and cozy. It reminds me of you.”

“Oh.” The words flee from your mind as quickly as they come. Your eyes dart around the dark room idly, searching for an object to rest your gaze on to no avail. 

“Well I’m here now aren’t I?” you whisper, the words finally tumbling out and exposing your bashfulness. With the small source of light, you’re able to make out the light blush dusting Kenma’s cheeks. He lingers for a moment before pulling away and opening up the blanket for you to join him. You pounce on him without skipping a beat and the two of you shift until you find a comfortable position laying on the bed. 

The familiar chimes from Kenma’s game fill the room as you nestle your head closer to his chest, listening to the gentle palpitations of his heart. He was right. You love your friends, but sometimes you need a little time to unwind. 

“When do you wanna go back?” he asks. 

“Whenever you’re ready, Ken.”

“And if I don’t wanna go back?”

“Then we don’t have to.”

“Are you sure?” His hands continue to tap away on his device, but his eyes glance down at you, hints of worry laced in them. 

“I’m sure,” you chuckle, craning your neck to press a chaste kiss on his cheek, “I think being with you is a whole lot better.” A wave of relief washes over him, and you feel his body sink a little more into the mattress. His grip on you becomes slightly more firm as he whispers. 

“Me too.”

Under the Night Sky

Prompt: Dancing under the stars

Characters: Sugawara Koushi, Reader

Genre: Fluff

Word count: 596

A/N: Not really proofread I'm sorry, but Suga was my first anime love so I had to write something for him

You and Suga opted to walk back to your shared apartment from the train station today instead of taking the bus. The weather was nice and you decided that it was a good way to digest the food you had for dinner just now. You also liked that it gave the both of you time to just be in each other’s presence. 

It was rather quiet, with the occasional sound of the two of you talking to each other, mainly discussing what to have for dinner tomorrow after work. 

The both of you were recharging your very dead social battery after a long day of work. You were glad that you were able to enjoy a moment of silence with Suga by your side, and likewise, Suga was glad that he could do the same without you feeling like the silence was uncomfortable. 

You and Suga only started dating after a very long two years of showing very obvious signs that the both of you liked each other, but with the fear of sabotaging your friendship, the both of you took a long time (and lot of convincing from your friends) before deciding to finally get together as a couple. 

It was like the both of you were soulmates though. Both of your energy matched the other perfectly, and you two filled in the missing gaps the other might have had. 

Your momentary silence was interrupted by the sound of someone playing a violin in the distance, which you concluded as the sound of someone busking. The melody was slow, enticing and romantic, and you had to fight to control the urge to sway to the music. 

Or did you? 

Suga suddenly let go of your hand and hurried in front of you, his body turning to face you. He had his hand over his chest, bending slightly forward as he bowed slightly. As his head raised to lock eyes with you, he asked,

“May I have this dance?”

Immediately you broke out into the widest grin and a blush formed at your cheeks. In that moment he was your prince, and you felt like his princess. 

You put your hand in his and let him lead, just like how it was back then when the both of you danced during prom. 

The street was empty with the exception of the two of you just basking in the presence of each other. Right now the both of you were the protagonists, with nothing else bothering you as you savoured every moment. In Suga's eyes there was only you and your beautiful smile, and in yours it was only Suga and his firm but also comforting gaze. 

You weren't sure how long more the both of you danced for, but eventually when the music came to a stop so did the two of you. Suga took your hand and planted a kiss, but it seemed that he decided that that gesture wasn't enough to express the immense love he had for you. Quickly yet gently he cupped your face in both of your hands before leaning down to capture your lips in his. 

Under the night sky filled with stars, you finally let your tears flow as you realised how loved you were by your boyfriend. You were lucky, so incredibly lucky to have Suga. The way he cherished you, the way he protected you, the way he simply loved you, was more than whatever you could have asked for. 

The star-filled night sky was indeed beautiful, but Suga made you feel even more beautiful that night.

𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐄 (𝐎𝐇 𝐒𝐈𝐑)

𝐜𝐰. gn!reader x various (haikyuu). kisses. intentional lowercase.

𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞. is the title weird? it's from sweeney todd (my latest obsession 😅). anyway this was inspired by my girlfriend so just know I put my heart into it <3 if your fave isn't here I'm sorry, there's a lot of characters I don't remember well enough 😔

he kisses like he's hungry. like a man starved. he's eager for you, kissing with a force and an insatiable need to be closer to you. his kisses are full of passion and love that you can feel, that you can taste. he kisses you with desperation, a need to prove something. he kisses like the only way to be close enough is to melt into you. the closest he can get to that is his mouth capturing every millimeter of yours, but you aren't complaining.

he kisses you with a big, dopey grin, every time. being with you is such a joy that he can't keep from beaming when he feels your lips on his. and why should he? he's the luckiest man in the world to have you. in every kiss you can feel the curl of his lips and the beginning of a happy giggle. his kisses are warm and sweet. appreciative. though he's more than happy to tell you how important and lovely you are, he doesn't have to, because his kisses convey it all in the way they each are filled to the brim with adoration and euphoria.

his kisses are soft and sweet, but no less meaningful. he is gentle, not because of fear or nervousness, but because an angel such as yourself deserves only the most pure and feather-light kisses. okay, maybe that's not it. maybe it's because he's a tease...? either way, when he kisses you, it goes straight to your heart, reinforcing the beats and sending heat straight to your face, even after all this time. he caresses you, taking his time to make sure every unspoken word comes out loud and clear. he savors the feeling and taste of your lips on his, taking his time to memorize the curves of your lips. he makes you feel like a god with the way he worships you, showering you in praise and love.

HQ BOYS WHEN YOU HUG THEM AFTER A MATCH

characters miya atsumu, kozume kenma, sugawara koushi

a/n can you tell suga's my fave character. that is my boy <3

miya atsumu

— after a close but victorious match against the opposing team, the inarizaki members couldn't help but run to the stands, eager to share their victory with their loved ones. atsumu scanned the crowd, immediately spotting your familiar figure running towards him, the biggest smile he's ever seen plastered on your face.

without wasting a second, atsumu opened his arms just in time for you to jump right into them and bury your head in his neck. his hands came up around your waist to support your body against his.

"congratulations tsumu! you did it!" you cheered gleefully, pulling your head back to look at your boyfriend's face. his smile mirrored your own as he leaned forward to rest his forehead against yours.

"thank you beautiful," he murmured. he held you close to him for a few more moments before letting you go, watching as you excitedly ran over to osamu and pulled his twin in for a hug. it seemed as if the whole world slowed down and all atsumu could see was you, his chest flood with such a warm feeling that only you could invoke.

kozume kenma

— kenma heard you running before you saw you. before he could react, however, he immediately felt the force of your body collide against his. he let out a soft oof and sighed when familiar arms wrapped around his middle.

"i'm so proud of you kenma," you beamed, resting your chin on his shoulder.

as much as he tried, kenma couldn't fight off the small smile growing on his face. without so much as a word, he turned around in your arms, allowing himself the opportunity to tug you closer and stuff his head into your hair. his body immediately relaxed in your hold as your hand came up to stroke his hair.

"i'm so tired..." he mumbled. "...but thank you."

you giggled as you continued to hold him, occasionally waving at the other nekoma members when they walked past.

sugawara koushi

— koushi felt his legs go weak. his hands grabbed onto the shoulders of the person next time, which happened to be ennoshita, as he tried so hard not to break down. the loud cheers from the other karasuno members were drowned out by the ringing in his ears, but as soon as he heard your voice from the distance, he snapped right out of it.

"koushi!"

the sight of you, sprinting towards him with the most beautiful smile on your face, was enough to push him over the edge. letting out a small sob, he stumbled towards you as you caught his sniffling body into your arms.

"we...we won," he cried into your shoulder, hands gripping onto the back of your shirt. blinking back tears of your own, you let out a laugh and held onto him tighter, refusing to lighten your grip for even a second. more arms wrapped around the two of you, and you recognized the other third years crying into your shoulder. yet all you could focus on was the sweet boy in your arms.

HQ BOYS AND THEIR FAVORITE TYPES OF KISSES TO GIVE

characters kei tsukishima, kozume kenma, kageyama tobio

kei tsukishima

— tsukishima’s fond of forehead kisses, especially the ones where his lips just brush oh so gently against your temple you can barely feel it—but it’s there. and it never fails to reduce you to a puddle every single time.

he does it absentmindedly too, usually when you’re walking together and he has his arm around your shoulder, he’ll lean his head down and rest his lips for a few seconds on your temple before pulling away. other times, when he thinks you’re asleep, he’ll give you one right before bed

kozume kenma

— kenma’s the type to give hand kisses. during his streams, you'll just be sitting next to him doing your own thing when he suddenly reaches out and grabs onto your hand, bringing it up to his lips and placing a gentle kiss on your knuckles. the first time he did it, you were so flustered but now you look forward to them.

after kissing your hand, he'll usually hold onto it and place your conjoined hands in his lap. and whenever he wins a game, he'll bring your hand back up to give it another kiss.

kageyama tobio

— kageyama prefers giving quick pecks more than an actual full on kiss, but they're sweet nonetheless. to him, it doesn't matter where since he does them so quickly, so all of his kisses end up in random spots.

when he's about to go play a match, he'll swiftly lean down and give you a peck on the nose before running out to join his team. during practice, he'll leave a smooch on your cheek as you hand him a water bottle. again he's not one to go full out on the kisses, but the ones he does manage to give always leave you a blushing mess afterwards.

[mantou-rin]

Huge fan of how in Haikyuu every setter is absolutely off the walls insane w it and suga is Just a setter. No stressful mind games he’s just playing volleyball. Which trips up every OTHER setter so bad that he changes the entire game every time. I love suga
