courage ; hinata shoyo

"Get away from me"

Hinata's ears perk up when he hears the familiar voice belonging to his girlfriend. At first, he's confused as to why - it's almost dark out and school had finished ages ago. [Name] never stayed back.

But when he hears the panic in [Name]'s voice and the sudden arrival of two new male voices, Hinata rushes to the scene.

When he turns the corner, he sees two seniors with [Name] in between them, Hinata is terrified. His seniors look intimidating and Hinata can't put up much of a fight but when he sees the fear in [Name]'s eyes, he swallows his own fears and marches right up to them.

"Hey! Leave her alone," Hinata shouts, catching the attention of the three students.

They all turn to see Hinata and the boys smirk at the sight of him.

"Yeah?" One of the boys drawls out, "And how are you going to stop us, shrimp?"

Hinata's shaking and he's sure that his seniors can smell the fear emitting out of him but he couldn't leave [Name] in such a situation. Had he tried to get help, who knows what would happen to [Name] in the timespan.

He knows that if he tries to fight these two seniors, Hinata will be pummelled. So instead, he grabs a hold of [Name]'s wrist and yanks her out of the other boy's grasp and speeds off.

The boys certainly didn't expect that to happen and they chase the couple.

"Get back here!"

"Sho," Hinata hears his girlfriend cry out between her huffing as she tries to match Hinata's pace.

"Don't look back, [Name]-chan," He tells her, taking a turn at the corner, "I won't let them hurt you"

She doesn't know how long she's been running for but soon enough, they come to a stop, hiding in an empty classroom.

"I think we lost them," Hinata collapses on the ground, his legs shaking as he turns to his girlfriend who's trying to catch her breath.

[Name] kneels down beside him, resting her head on Hinata's shoulder as her heart calms down.

"Thank you, Sho, for protecting me" She tells him, connecting their hands together.

Hinata turns red, at both her words and the sudden intimate contact.

He splutters out, "I didn't really do anything"

Now that he thinks about it, Hinata didn't do much except run away. He feels upset at the thought that he's unable to protect his girlfriend when she needs his help.

Hinata feels something warm on his cheek before it left as quick as it came.

"I thought you were really brave Sho," [Name] smiles, "Even though you were scared of the upperclassmen, you still came to my rescue. So again, thank you"

"I'll always come to your rescue, [Name]-chan," He murmurs.

"I know you will and that's why I love you"

[projectanimes]

forgetting him, forgetting her ; soryu oh

"I'll wait here, for how long it takes. Please wake up, [Name]."

There it was again. That voice. Yet she didn't have a clue who the voice belongs to. She tries to move but pain shoots through her body and [Name] groans.

"[Name]? [Name]?!"

The voice returns and she feels a warm hand touch hers but [Name] can't seem to move. She hears a fast beeping and suddenly a different voice reaches her ears.

"Please sir, you need to step outside and let us do our job"

They're the last thing that [Name] hears before it's silent and her mind shuts off.

- - -

The next time she hears something, it's a faint beeping - a complete opposite tempo to the beeping she heard before.

[Name] tries to move again, feeling her fingers twitch at her side. Slowly, she tries to open her eyes but a bright light hits her vision and she closes them again.

"[Name]? Are you awake?"

She tries again, continuously blinking to adjust her vision to the lights. [Name] moves her head, her neck stiff as if she hadn't moved in months.

When she fully regains her vision, the first thing she sees is a suit.

The owner of the suit lets out a sigh of relief, rushing up to [Name]'s bedside and gently grabbing a hold of her hand. [Name] flinches at the touch and her eyes travel upwards to meet the man's eyes.

"Thank god," He says, lifting her hand up to place a kiss.

But before he can, [Name] suddenly pulls her hand away, recoiling from him. She doesn't miss the hurt that flashes in his eyes but her fear at his presence overcomes her entire being.

"W-Who are you? Why are you here?" [Name]'s voice is hoarse, and her hand reaches up to her throat. Waking up in an unfamiliar place, with an unfamiliar man - she had every right to be scared.

Soryu's astonished - he definitely didn't expect those words to be the first he hears from her for two whole months.

"Now's not the time to joke around, [Name]," Soryu tells her.

He attempts to reach for her hand again but her scream leaves him frozen in place.

"Don't touch me!"

A nurse passing by the room, opens the door to check in and sensing the fear from [Name], she walks in.

"Is everything alright in here?" Eyeing Soryu, she turns to look at [Name] who's shaking. Soryu's face is completely blank as he continues to stare at [Name].

Seeing that she's wearing a nurse uniform, [Name] relaxes a bit, knowing that she could at least trust her.

"This man was in here when I woke up, I don't know why," [Name] tells her.

He can feel a dagger stabbing through his heart with every word.

"Do you know this man?" The nurse questions and [Name] shakes her head.

Soryu can't move, he can't think, he can't even breathe.

The nurse turns back to Soryu, she can't help but pity him. She had seen him countless times over the course of [Name]'s stay - [Name] must have been incredibly precious to him.

The nurse regrets her next words, knowing that Soryu is probably falling apart behind his stoic facade but [Name] is her patient, therefore she comes first.

"I'm sorry, sir but you need to leave"

- - - - - 

That night he visits her, Soryu makes sure [Name]'s asleep. If he arrived while she was awake, Soryu was sure he'd get kicked out. After all, [Name] doesn't know who he is.

Pulling up a chair to her bedside, Soryu just sits and watches her. A lot of the damage on [Name]'s had disappeared over the past two months but his eyes can't leave the small scar right above her collarbone, forever a reminder that he couldn't protect her.

He resists the urge of touching her, fearing that [Name] would wake up upon feeling something.

Soryu doesn't know how long he stayed, watching [Name] sleeping peacefully, when his phone buzzes. Seeing a text from Samejima, he knows he needs to return back to the office.

Standing up, he notices a glint on the table. 

Soryu can't help but feel his heart tearing in two when he sees her engagement ring - it never should have left her hand to begin with.

Turning back for one last glance at the girl he loves, he finds that she has turned away from him, her back facing towards him.

Taking the engagement ring, he secures it in his pocket before taking his leave.

- - - - -

"You're still here, Soryu?" Baba questions in a slightly teasing tone, watching Soryu remain in his seat, "You're usually running back to your princess the second the auction's done"

The auctions had just ended and it was unusual for the other bidders to see Soryu linger around afterwards - since [Name] had entered the hospital, Soryu knew he still had to do his job as both the boss of the Ice Dragons and an auction manager, but he'd rush back to [Name]'s side as soon as he could.

He doesn't answer Baba and the others can immediately recognise that something was wrong.

"Soryu, did something happen?" Eisuke asks.

"She woke up," Soryu answers shortly, keeping his eyes down at the centre stage.

"That's great," Baba cheers, "We'll finally get to see her again"

"So then, why are you still here?" Ota asks.

"Aren't you supposed to be at her beck and call?" Mamoru chimes in.

Soryu's hands clench into fists as he glares down.

"She doesn't remember me. I'm a total stranger to her"

The coldness in his voice sends a shiver down their spines - even Eisuke's as they all take in his words.

Ota breaks the silence, "So what are you going to do?" 

Soryu stays silent, what can he do? 

Luke goes up to him, placing a hand on his back, "Don't worry Soryu, it'll take time but Sexy Bones remember you again"

"No, she won't," Soryu replies, "And it'll be better for her this way"

He concludes in his mind - this is for the best. It's his fault [Name]'s in this situation. This is his chance to put distance between them, so that [Name] won't ever face this danger ever again.

"What do you mean?" Baba asks, surprised at the words coming out of Soryu's mouth.

"I couldn't protect her," Soryu reminds them, shaking his head, "This is why she's like this in the first place. But now, it's a chance for me to let her go so I won't put her in danger again"

"So, you're not even going to try and make Sexy Bones remember? Remember you?" Luke asks, he's angry. Luke can't believe that Soryu Oh is acting so cowardly, "Is that really what you want?"

Of course it's not what I want.

Soryu lets out a pained sigh, "There's no telling if she'll get caught up in this mess again. Even if she does remember me, she might get hurt again - maybe even die"

His hand unconsciously reaches for the ring hidden in his pocket.

"It's for the best"

"Sounds like you're running away," Eisuke narrows his eyes at the mafia boss.

Say what you must.

If this is the only way I can protect her...

"I won't put her through that again"

... So be it.

Goodbye, my love.

in his arms again ; akaashi keiji

"I'll be gone for six months, will you wait for me?"

When she told Akaashi that she would be spending half a year abroad on a study programme, he thought he would be fine without her. It was only for six months, it wasn't like [Name] was leaving for good.

But it was hard - insanely hard.

Even Bokuto notices how quiet Akaashi seems to be without [Name] with him - she definitely brought out a different side of Akaashi and without her, he returns to his old reserved self.

Akaashi didn't realise how painful it was, seeing her face through his phone screen every day and not being able to touch her.  Yet no matter how Akaashi felt, it didn't change the fact that [Name] would be gone for six whole months - and he just had to learn to suck it up.

The days pass by slowly, Akaashi feels like it's been five years instead of five months. Every time his eyes focus on the clock, it's as if the clock purposely slows down.

But the time is near, soon her study programme will finish and [Name] will be back in his arms.

"Three more weeks," Akaashi murmurs, "Three more weeks and I'll be able to see you in person again"

I'll be able to touch you, hug you, kiss you.

[Name] nods, rubbing her tired eyes as she looks into her phone screen.

"Just a little more, Keiji," She confirms, "Can you wait for me?"

Her eyes are drooping and Akaashi smiles gently at the cute sight bestowed to him.

[Name] refused to go to bed until she made her daily video call to her boyfriend. When she arrived how and her head hit her pillow, [Name] could have drifted off to sleep right then and there but she hadn't had a chance to talk to Akaashi all day. And she'd be damned if she missed even one call.

"Can I?" Akaashi repeats, "I'd wait an eternity for you, [Name]"

No matter how strong the pain from being separated from you is, I'll always wait so long as you'll come back to me.

"I'm glad," She whispers.

"Now go to sleep, [Name]," Akaashi tells her, "You look insanely tired. I'll call you when you wake up, okay?"

"Alright, goodnight. I love you, Keiji"

"I love you too, [Name]"

- - - - 

Standing at the airport, his heart is racing at the thought of finally, finally being able to hold [Name] in his arms again. Akaashi scans through the large crowd exiting out through the arrival gates, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.

After what seems like an eternity, he finally catches a glimpse of [Name]'s face. Akaashi doesn't even need to open his mouth. She turns towards him, as if [Name] can sense his eyes on her and shows Akaashi one of the brightest smiles he's ever seen.

In a flash, [Name] races towards her beloved boyfriend. His arms are already open, waiting for her.

And when they make contact with each other, Akaashi finally feels at peace. The agonising pain of not having her around the past six months quickly dissipates.

"I missed you," He whispers, "God​​​​​​​, I missed you"

"I missed you too, Keiji," [Name] whispers back, "I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon other than with you"

He squeezes her tighter.

"Good"

hi, can i request a part two of single dad ushijima? like he goes on a day date with his high school crush with his daughter and they begin to date? thanks. i loved how you wrote it

well this has been very long overdue. also when i wrote this, i completely forgot the “begin to date” part! i wrote this with the thought that they have already been dating for a few months already, i’m sorry!

[ part two to this ]

- - - - - -

“[Name]-chan! We’re here to pick you up!”

The excessive rings of her doorbell echoes throughout her small apartment and she rushes to the door.

[Name] opens the door, looking down to meet the eyes of Ushijima Himeko. Her dark olive eyes are the exact same shade to that of her father’s.

“Ah, Himeko-chan, what a surprise to see you too,” [Name] smiles, opening her arms for the girl to jump into.

“I apologise for the unannounced guest, [Name]-san,” Ushijima apologises, “I had a babysitter to look after Himeko, but she refused to let me leave the house without her whens she found out I would be meeting with you”

You can’t always have [Name]-chan to yourself, daddy!

“It’s not a problem, Wakatoshi,” She waves a hand before gesturing to Himeko in her arms, “I’m always happy to see this angel”

Himeko beams up when she hears this and snuggles her head on [Name]’s shoulder.

Ushijima and [Name] haven’t been dating for long yet she always acts as a mother figure for his daughter when Himeko is around and he couldn’t be more grateful.

“So where are we going, [Name]-chan?” Himeko asks.

[Name] puts her back down on the ground and holds one of her hands, Ushijima holding the other. 

“How about the park?” [Name] suggests, staring up at Ushijima, directing the question to him as well.

Ushijima nods, “Sounds fun, what do you think Himeko?”

“Yay, the park! I want to go, daddy!” She cheers.

[Name] nods, “Alright! Oh, hold on a minute. I just need to get something!”

[Name] excuses herself for a moment, slipping back into her apartment before returning shortly. 

“Alright, let’s go!”

- - - - - - -

“[Name]-chan! Look, there’s little ducks!” Himeko releases both [Name] and Ushijima’s hands and runs up near the lake.

The two adults follow her closely behind to make sure that Himeko doesn’t get into any trouble.

“Make sure you don’t scare them, Himeko,” Ushijima tells his daughter.

[Name] pulls a small bag of bread out of her bag and pulls out a slice for Himeko.

“Here you go, Himeko-chan, make sure you throw small little pieces so the ducks don’t choke,” [Name] tells the giddy child who runs over to where [Name]’s standing.

“Okay,” Himeko holds out her hand to [Name].

With a quick thank you, she takes the bag of bread and heads back over to the ducks. The couple stands in silent, side by side, watching over Himeko when Ushijima speaks up.

“I’m sorry, [Name],” He starts and [Name] looks at him in confusion.

“Sorry?” She questions, “What are you sorry about?”

“I’m sure this isn’t how you wanted to spend your day with me,” Ushijima says.

As much as he loves his daughter, Ushijima really did want more alone time with [Name]. Dates without Himeko were scarce and today was supposed to be just the two of them.

[Name] takes a hold of Ushijima’s hand into hers and shakes her head.

“Like I said earlier, I don’t mind at all, Wakatoshi,” She stares at him with an earnest expression, “I love Himeko, I’m always happy to be around her too”

Their moment is interrupted when Himeko races back to the couple. 

Himeko nods and tugs at [Name]’s hand, “[Name]-chan, come and feed them with me!”

“Alright, alright,” [Name] laughs, allowing herself to be pulled, “I’m coming!”

Ushijima’s eyes never leave [Name]’s figure as he wonders how lucky he is to have [Name] back in his life.

- - - -

Once the bread is all gone, the two Ushijimas and [Name] decide to walk through the rest of the park. They stop when they hear a cheerful tune.

“[Name]-chan, look! Those people are dancing!” Himeko points to a crowd near the trio.

She watches in awe as the people around join and dance to the music playing. Looking up at [Name], she tugs her hand.

“Can we join in too?” Himeko asks.

“Of course, let’s go,” [Name] turns back to Ushijima, “Are you coming too, Wakatoshi?”

Ushijima shakes his head, “I’ll just watch from here”

[Name] and Himeko walk over to the group of people dancing and begin themselves.

 "What a beautiful sight"

Ushijima flinches at the sudden voice, turning to find an old man smiling at him. The old man then nods towards [Name] and Himeko. Ushijima nods in agreement.

“I agree, it’s magnificent view,” Ushijima replies.

The smiles on their faces could not be more dazzling as the two dance away as if they were in their own little world. Truly a sight to behold, for him anyways.

“You have a wonderful little family, sir,” The old man speaks up once again, “I hope you will make plenty more of these irreplaceable memories together”

Family.

Our little family.

Just the thought warms his heart. The old man turns to look at Ushijima to find him smiling tenderly at his daughter and girlfriend, not realising his mistake.

“Yes, I do too”

Ushijima doesn’t bother correcting him.

bento ; nishinoya yuu

"I'm so hungry," Nishinoya groans, holding his grumbling stomach.

However, in the Karasuno gym, only his sports energy drink can attempt to sate his hunger. Due to oversleeping this morning, Nishinoya had no time to eat breakfast - unless he wanted to face the wrath of his coach.

Instead, he had to settle with only one melon pan before he raced out of his house in the morning.

"Nishinoya-senpai, if you could think like a normal person, you could have just put extra snacks in your bag," Tsukishima sniggered, with Yamaguchi following in suit.

The shorter male shot a glare at his juniors in order to scare them yet his attempt to do so was futile - neither Tsukishima or Yamaguchi are intimidated by him.

With the blow of a whistle, Ukai tells the team to finish up their break and to start another practice match.

Nishinoya lets out another sigh, internally yelling at himself for forgetting to throw some snacks into his bag. He ignores the loud growling of his stomach as he steps onto the court once again.

Nearing the end of the practice match, [Name] skips into the gym, cheerfully greeting Shimizu and Yachi.

"It's rare to see you here in the morning, [Name]-chan," Shimizu notes.

In [Name]'s hand, she carries a small box that catches the attention of the first year manager.

"Ne, [Name]-senpai, is that bento for Nishinoya-senpai?" Yachi asks curiously.

[Name] nods, "Yuu-kun didn't text me back this morning so I figured that he woke up late. He probably missed breakfast because of it so I thought I'd bring some food for him"

"How sweet of you, senpai! Nishinoya-senpai sure is lucky to have such a kind girlfriend," Yachi gushes, making [Name] blush and let out an embarrassed laugh.

"[Name]-chan!" 

[Name] turns around to see the boys walking off the court, with Nishinoya heading straight towards her.

"You're here early!" Nishinoya grins, "Did you miss me that badly?"

"Yuu-kun, stop," [Name] hides her face behind her hand.

Nishinoya laughs and plants a kiss on her cheek.

The other members greet [Name] cheerfully, some more than others. Nonetheless, [Name] returns their greeting with a bright smile.

"What's that in your hand, senpai?" Hinata points to the bento box.

"Oh, I made some breakfast for Yuu-kun," [Name] smiles, handing the bento over to her boyfriend.

Nishinoya's stomach lets out another hungry growl, reminding him of how hungry he is.

"'Noya, you lucky man. I wish I had a girlfriend as cute as [Name]-chan who would make me a bento!" Tanaka cries as the both of them praise the bento box.

"[Name]-chan," Nishinoya sniffs, tears coming out of his eyes, "You're an angel!"

E X T E N D E D  E N D I N G :

"[Name]-chan," Tanaka gets on his knees, a hand holding [Name]'s hand while the other rubs his stomach, "Can you please make us bentos too next time? We'll starve to death without you!

Hinata kneels down beside him, nodding furiously, "Will you please, senpai?!"

Nishinoya slaps Tanaka's hand away from [Name] and stands protectively in front of her, "No way! Go find your own girlfriend to make you food! I won't share!"

"Oh but it smells so good, Noya! At least give me a taste!"

"No! [Name]-chan made it for me only! Get away!"

[projectanimes]

sleepy ; satoru furuya

"Satoru, wake up!"

She didn't think Furuya would sleep in and risk being late for practice, especially when he told her that he refused to give up his spot to Sawamura.

"Coach won't let you pitch in the next game if you're late for practice!" She shakes him and watches as his nose twitches in annoyance before he turns on his side, his back facing [Name].

"Come on, Satoru," [Name] sighs, "You really don't care that Sawamura-kun is going to take your place?"

He doesn't respond.

[Name] tries to wake Furuya up a few more times before she gives up, standing up from the bed. Before she can make a step towards the door, a hand grabs hers and pulls her backwards.

"Satoru," [Name] whines, "I was sent here to wake you up, not to be your pillow!"

"Shhh, [Name]-chan," Furuya mumbles, hiding his face in the crook of her neck, "Just...sleep"

[Name] sighs, attempts to escape his clutches. Despite how warm and comfortable it was, to be in Furuya's arms, she really didn't want to get in trouble with coach Kataoka. With Furuya's iron grip, [Name]'s attempts are futile.

In the end, [Name] gives up, knowing fully well that Furuya will not release her until he wakes up, which would most likely be in the late afternoon.

Instead, she snuggles into his chest, closing her eyes.

Surely, missing just one practice was okay, right?

E X T E N D E D   E N D I N G 

“Where the hell did [Name] go? She was meant to wake that damn first year up ages ago!” Isashiki mutters angrily as the baseball team follows behind him.

Kicking the door open to Furuya’s dorm, Sawamura also barges in alongside Isashiki.

“Oi, Furuya! Wake up, you’re late for pr-” Sawamura stops once he sees the sight in front of him.

Furuya was sleeping soundly in bed beside [Name], who had fallen asleep as well, smiles on both faces.

“That little shit, I’m going to strangle him,” Isashiki pulls up his sleeves and steps towards the bed, about to pound Furuya’s head in for skipping practice, “Skipping practice for more sleep, why I ought to-”

“You’re just jealous because you don’t have anyone to sleep with, senpai,” Miyuki snickers along with Ryosuke.

“Why you-” Isashiki charges at the megane catcher, momentarily forgetting Furuya while Yuki takes a picture of the couple sleeping with his phone.

the magic stork ; ukai keishin

[ parent au ]

- - - - - -

"Daddy, daddy!" 

Little Ukai Mei races down the hallway and into the kitchen where her father sits.

"Daddy, where do babies come from?"

The older Ukai chokes on his coffee, pounding his chest as he lets out multiple coughs. Those words certainly weren't what he was expecting to come out of his daughter's mouth.

Once he's calmed down, Ukai turns to face his daughter who stares back at him curiously, awaiting a reply.

"W-Why do you want to know, Mei?" He laughs nervously.

Ukai was hoping that his wife would be the one to have this talk with Mei but luck didn't seem to be on his side. In addition, she's four. Weren't children at that age only supposed about toys and whatnot?

"Because I want a baby brother or sister! Mina-chan said that she got a baby sister yesterday!" Mei informs him, "I want one too! Then I can play with them every day at home! So where do they come from, daddy? I wanna know!"

"O-oh, w-well. You see, when a mommy and a daddy love each other-"

"Like you and mommy"

"Yes, like me and mommy," Ukai stops and gulps, hurriedly thinking of a good reason for his daughter, "Um... Well, a st- a magic stork comes and puts a baby in mommy's tummy!"

"A magic stork?" Mei gives her father a confused look, "How does it put it in mommy's tummy?"

"With magic," Ukai replies and Mei nods understandingly.

"Wow," She gasps, "And where does the magic stork live? Can we go and visit it?"

Ukai pauses, unable to come up with a response and as if the heavens had answered his prayers, the front door opens.

"I'm home!"

Oh thank god.

"You have to ask mommy because the stork will only put the baby in mommy's tummy if mommy wants it to," Ukai whispers before gentling pushing his daughter in [Name]'s direction.

"Welcome home, mommy!" Mei shouts, racing down the hallway once again and jumps into her mother's awaiting arms.

She laughs as [Name] spins her around a couple of times before setting her down.

"Hello Mei, what are you up to?" [Name] asks, kissing her head.

“Daddy was telling me where babies come from!” [Name] sends her husband a questioning look, who refuses to look in their direction, before Mei continues, “Daddy said that a magic stork puts a baby in your tummy but only if you tell it to! Can we go ask the magic stork to put another baby in your tummy, pleaaaase?”

“I’m not sure about that, darling,” [Name] responds. Taking care of one child was hard enough already for the two parents.

“Pleaaase mommy!” Mei begged, giving her mother the most adorable look she could muster up.

"Well," [Name] hesitates, "If you go and tidy up your toys, I'll think about it"

Mei nods enthusiastically before wiggling out of [Name]'s arms and runs up the stairs.

As soon as she's out of sight, [Name] turns to her husband and smirks, "A magic stork? That's all you could come up with?"

A blush forms on Ukai's cheeks, "I panicked alright?"

rumours ; tanaka ryuunosuke

[ delinquent au ]

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The biggest question going around Karasuno is - how did the unruly delinquent Tanaka Ryuunosuke get a girlfriend who's as sweet as [Last Name] [Name]. 

No one ever thought that [Name] would be even remotely interested in someone who started fights if someone even looked at him. His sharp, intimidating glares kept the other students a good distance away yet [Name] stays in such close proximity.

"I heard he's in a gang, [Name]-chan! Why would you ever want to be connected with that?"

"Didn't you hear? Last year, he sent some kid to the hospital just because the kid accidentally bumped into him! You should really be careful, [Last Name]-san!"

[Name] merely ignores these rumours, though it does amuse her how extreme these rumours get. The students judge Tanaka so easily without getting to know him first but she knew different. 

Tanaka is caring, loving and kind. To her, he is a big dork who loves volleyball.

Sure, he did get into fights quite a bit, but he'd never hurt someone out of no where - especially not because of an accidental bump.

No one else really wanted to get to know the real Tanaka and to be honest, that was fine by him. He only cares about how [Name] feels towards him. She loves him and he loves her, wasn't that enough? 

“I doubt their relationship is going to last any longer. [Name]-chan is way too good for him"

[Name] winces when she hears the comment. It was obvious that the boy didn't think his voice was very loud but she heard it and she knows Tanaka did as well. He comes to an abrupt stop upon hearing this comment and the hallway starts to quieten down.

The brunette boy's friends look behind him to find Tanaka staring straight at their little group. One of the visibly gulps and steps away from the one who made the comment.

"H-Hey, Kou, lower your voice," Another friend whispers, his eyes flickering between Kou's and Tanaka's as if to warn the former. Kou tenses and slowly turns around, flinching when he sees that he's under Tanaka's harsh stare.

"Ryu, just leave it," [Name] whispers into her boyfriend's ear and tries to pull him away, but Tanaka refuses to budge.

"Oh really now?" Tanaka smirks and steps closer to Kou and his friends, "And who is good enough for [Name]? You?"

Tanaka lets out a laugh, but [Name] knows he's anything but amused.

"Yeah," Kou tries his best to not let his fear be shown, "Better than you, at least?"

"Oh? So is that why she's with me and now with you?" Tanaka smirks, enjoying that he's making Kou squirm.

But at his response, the smirk drops and Tanaka's face hardens.

"That's only because she's too afraid of you to break up with you"

Of course Tanaka would never harm [Name] and despite, her constantly reassuring her friends that she was into the relationship just as much as he is, it didn't stop rumours circulating of Tanaka hurting her or threatening to if she wanted to leave him.

It was a stupid rumour - one that both Tanaka and [Name] knew was 100% untrue. But that doesn't mean it doesn't strike a chord within him whenever he hears it.

Within a second, Tanaka lunges forward and brings his fist straight into Kou's face.

- - - - - -

"Aren't you going to say something?" Tanaka asks, breaking the silence.

After being stopped by the teachers, Tanaka is suspended for the rest of the week. [Name] leaves a while after, claiming that she wasn't feeling well and the two head towards [Name]'s home without a word between them.

When they reach her home, [Name] immediately heads towards the bathroom to look for her medical kit to bandage up Tanaka's fist while Tanaka sits on the edge of [Name]'s bed.

Even while she cleans up his wound, she doesn't say a word. Tanaka knows she hates him getting into fights all the time, but he couldn't help it - especially today.

"Do I need to?" She snaps, "I've told you time after time that getting into fights are a complete waste of time yet every day, you seem to end up in one"

"I'm sorry, alright?" He sighs, "I can't help it. He pissed me off with his stupid comment"

"So what? Now there's going to be even more rumours about you! Who knows what else they're going to say about you now?"

Tanaka doesn't really understand why she got so worked up on the rumours about him, he didn't care about whatever nonsense his classmates make up. But the one rumour that he won't tolerate are the ones about him hurting [Name].

He'd never lay a hand on her.

"I just hate it," She whispers, covering her face, "They don't even know you and yet they say all these horrible things about you"

[Name] lets out a quiet sob. She doesn't understand why they judge Tanaka so harshly. If only they knew the side of Tanaka Ryuunosuke that she does.

Tanaka pulls her in for a tight hug, "Hey, don't cry for me, [Name]. It's okay"

He places a tender kiss on Tanaka's head and wipes her tears away.

"You don't have to be so worried about my reputation. I don't care what they think of me," Tanaka tells her, "The only opinion I care about is yours"

"Besides," Tanaka continues, flashing her the dorky grin that she loves oh so much, "With all these rumours going on, I sound way more badass than I already am"

[Name] lets out a laugh, wiping away the rest of the tears away.

She looks up at him with an intense gaze, "I love you, Tanaka Ryuunosuke"

"I love you too, [Last Name] [Name]"

the top shelf ; tsukishima kei

"Kei! Kei, come here!"

Tsukishima lets out a groan as he turns around in bed, pulling the covers over his head in hopes of blocking out the voice. He hears his name being called a few more times before it's silent once again.

He's so close to drifting back into sleep again when he feels a sudden heaviness on top of him.

"What the fu-"

"Stop sleeping, you dick. It's eleven already, wake up and help me get something," [Name] says, pinching Tsukishima's cheek, "Come on, Kei. Wake up! Wake u-!"

"Alright, alright," Tsukishima pushes both her and the covers off before standing up. Reaching for his glasses, he quickly puts them on and scowls at his girlfriend, "What the hell do you want, woman?"

She drags him to the kitchen and points to the open cupboard in the corner. 

"The cereal," [Name] tells him, "I can't reach it because someone put it on the top shelf when they put away the groceries last night"

Tsukishima sighs in annoyance, "You couldn't have made something else to eat? Literally, anything else. There's a whole fridge at your disposal"

When she doesn't respond, choosing to stare at him blankly instead, he sighs once again before complying to her wishes. 

"Not the Coco Pops," His hand twitches, "I want the Frosted Flakes"

Tsukishima reaches for the other brand and brings it down onto the counter. He turns to [Name], "Are you happy now?"

Her lips curl into a smile and [Name] pulls Tsukishima down for a peck on the cheek, "Thanks, Kei. You're the best~"

"What a pain in the ass," He mutters, running a hand through his hair.

Beside him, [Name] scoffs as she grabs a bowl, "You know if you didn't put everything so high up, we wouldn't have any problems"

"You know if you were normal height, we wouldn't have any problems," Tsukishima retorts.

[Name] slowly puts her beloved Frosted Flakes back on the counter and turns to face her boyfriend once more.

"Say one more word and I swear I'm going to punch you in the face," She glares at him, her eyes sharpen when she sees his lips curl into that annoying smirk of his. [Name] curls her hand into a fist but Tsukishima remains unfazed.

"You're 5'3, you can't even reach my face with your fist"

"..."

"..."

"Don't run away, you coward! Get back here!"

exhaustion ; oikawa tooru

"Yikes, what happened to you?"

Oikawa pouts at his girlfriend's words, "Ah, you're so mean to me, [Name]-chan"

She rolls her eyes at his childish actions and raises her hand to his face. He takes the opportunity to nuzzle his cheek in her hands and her thumb strokes the dark bag under his eye.

As per usual, Oikawa was waiting for [Name] outside her home. Since they started dating, she always accompanied Oikawa to morning practice. She didn't mind, because even though she would be tired having to wake up so early, seeing Oikawa always energised her right up.

Yet today was different, his smile seems forced and his shoulders are slumped. 

"But really, you look like you haven't gotten any sleep at all, is there something wrong?"

Oikawa stays silent, he can't decide - should he tell her or should he stay quiet?

He doesn't like keeping things from his significant other but if she found out the reason for his lack of sleep the night before, well, he doesn't think he can handle the judgemental look that's bound to come his direction.

"Oh, it's nothing," Oikawa tries to laugh it off, "Don't worry about it!"

[Name] stares at him with a blank look, "Tooru..."

Oikawa looks off to the side, trying to think of a new topic to distract his girlfriend from their current conversation. She lifts her other hand up to Oikawa's other cheek and moves his face to face her again.

He can see the worry that's swimming in her eyes but he just can't tell her - he's too embarrassed. His heart swells seeing how much [Name] cares about him but it just makes it that much harder to tell her.

"That's the reason?! Are you kidding me?!"

He can already imagine it.

"Tooru, seriously," [Name] continues, "Please just tell me"

Oikawa lets out a huge sigh before he inhales and speaks quickly, "I look so exhausted because I stayed up later looking for aliens"

"...Excuse me?" Her eyes blink in surprise and her hands loosen their grip on both sides of Oikawa's face.

"I just kept on pressing the next video and the next thing I know, I've an hour before morning practice starts," He rushes out, "They're out there, I know it"

She doesn't respond and Oikawa is about to ask her to speak when she suddenly pinches his cheek.

"Ow! [Name]-chan, that's really painful!"

"You are an idiot, I can't believe I was worried about you just for you to tell me that"

"Gah, I didn't mean to make you so worried! Please let go of my face!"

count on you ; nishinoya yuu

After the death of her dog, Haruki, [Name] remained holed up in her house the days following his death. As his name suggested, Haruki was [Name]'s shining sun. He was always there to brighten up [Name]'s day after a long, tiring day. 

Hearing a knock on the door, [Name] pulls her blanket over her head, as if it would make a difference in silencing the sound. 

"[Name], someone's here to visit you," She hears her mother's voice and the footsteps entering her room.

She wants to tell him to go away but even the thought of saying it makes [Name] guilty - he had come to visit her to make sure she was okay. A warm hand wipes the tears that flow down her cheeks and she leans into his touch.

"I miss him, Yuu-kun," She whimpers, her eyes continuously blinking away the tears, "I miss him so much"

Nishinoya brings his girlfriend into a tight embrace, "It's okay, [Name]-chan. I'm here for you, so you can cry all you want"

It was better for her to cry everything out than to keep it bottled up inside. After a few minutes, [Name] slowly stops her crying and Nishinoya decides that it's time to take her mind elsewhere.

"I brought some Disney films over," Nishinoya pulls his bag onto her bed and pulls out a series of DVDs, "These are your favourite, right?"

She smiles when she sees the selection he brought over - he's right, they are her favourite. [Name] didn't expect him to remember after their conversation a few weeks back.

Nishinoya stands up and holds out his hand, [Name] immediately places hers into his and he pulls her off the bed. They move into the living room where they settle onto the couch.

"Any specific one you want to watch first?" Nishinoya asks her.

She shakes her head, "I don't mind at all. You can choose"

In the end, the two agree on Hercules. While [Name] inserts the disc into her DVD player, Nishinoya runs back upstairs to grab a couple more blankets and pillows so that they'd be comfortable. Once everything is set up, the couple settle onto the couch, holding each other close while the movie starts to play.

[Name] turns her head to face him and plants a peck on Nishinoya's cheek, "Thanks for cheering me up, Yuu-kun. It still hurts to think about Haruki being gone, but you being here with me really helps"

Nishinoya grins and in response, leans his head down to meet her lips. 

"I'll always be here for you, [Name]-chan. So you can always count on me, okay?" Nishinoya tells her, "Anytime, anywhere, any place"

"A bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?" [Name] giggles.

Yet when she looks back at Nishinoya, she's slightly taken aback by the seriousness in his eyes.

"For you, I'll always make it happen"

"Come on, [Name], I'm sorry!"

Kuroo winces when he sees [Name] come back down with a pillow and a blanket secured under her arm and throws them onto their sofa. She passes him and heads into the kitchen and he follows her.

He didn't think that it would go this far, Kuroo wouldn't have had done it in the first place had he known this would be the end result.

But it's too late now - the damage was done.

"I beat you at Mario Kart and now you’re banishing me to the couch for the night?" He questions in disbelief. 

[Name] nods, "Yes, that's exactly what's happening"

"You can't be serious, babe," Kuroo pleads.

She pours herself a cup of water before downing it in one go. Once she's finished, she puts the cup in the sink before marching towards the door.

"One hundred percent serious, babe. Now I'm off to bed, goodnight," [Name] gives him a lazy wave before running up the stairs.

"[Name]," Kuroo shouts after her, "Baaaabe, come on"

He runs after her in one last attempt at redemption.

"You shouldn't have cheated!"

"It was just one game!"

The door to their bedroom slams shut in response.

kageyama x reader long distance au

»»————-¤————-««

"Hey"

[Name] gives him a smile and he relishes in her beauty. He would much prefer to see it in person but if this is the best he can get at the moment, then so be it.

"Hi Tobio, how was practice?" She asks him as he relaxes back into his chair.

"As usual," Kageyama shrugs, "Hinata and I are still trying to perfect our attack"

"Well I'm sure you guys will perfect it soon," She says before giving him a small pout, "I hope I get to see it in person one day though"

"One day," Kageyama echoes and they both sit in silence for a few seconds.

"Long distance sucks," [Name] sulks and Kageyama nods in agreement, his shoulders slumping, "I wish I could see you whenever I wanted to"

"But I'll endure it for now," [Name] lets out a sigh and Kageyama's eyes return back to the screen, "Distance won't be a problem when we get married in the future"

Kageyama almost chokes on his own saliva.

"What are you talking about?" He splutters out, "Don't say things like that!"

"You mean you're not serious about us?"

[Name] pretends to be hurt and watches as the guilt instantly shows on Kageyama's face. It's hard for her not to crack a smile.

"I- that's not what- I didn't mean-"

"I know, Tobio, I'm just playing around," [Name] sticks her tongue out playfully.

"You're the worst," Kageyama groans, his face flushes in embarrassment.

"But you love me, anyways~" She grins.

He can't help but smile back at her. Though her joke shocked him to the core, Kageyama can't help but think back on her words. Of course, they were too young to even think about the subject but Kageyama knows he loves her too much to let her go - and he'll be damned if he lets someone else marry [Name].

"Yeah, I do"

prince!kageyama x reader

- - - - -

Royal or not, Tobio's parents were glad to see that their youngest son had made a genuine friend - in fact, they're rather overjoyed. The little play dates they attempt to set up for him never work out. So when Tobio walked up to his parents and ask them for permission to let [Name] into the palace, they were more than happy to comply.

While playing catch in the courtyard, Tobio manages to see a certain brunette from the corner of his eye and he immediately speedwalks over to [Name] and tries to pull her out from plain sight before he could see th-

"Tobio~"

Goddamit.

He stops in his place and lets out a sigh. [Name] glances at the owner of the voice and immediately gasps. She pulls her hand out of Tobio's hold and quickly curtsies in front of his older brother.

"H-Hello, Prince Tooru!" She greets.

"What do you want, Tooru?" Tobio glares at his brother - he was much too arrogant and annoying for Tobio's liking.

Tooru pouts and pinches Tobio's cheek despite the younger prince's complaints, "Why do you always speak so harshly towards me? I'm your big brother!"

His eyes flicker towards the young girl - almost forgetting that she was there in the first place. At the sight over the older prince, [Name] suddenly turned shy and flustered - much like when she met the King and Queen.

"And who is this lovely lady?" Tooru walks to up her and she quickly curtsies once again.

"M-My name is [N-Name] [Surname], my Prince!"

"Hm, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl," He smiles, "May I ask why you're here?"

"Prince Tobio invited me into the palace to play, he's my friend!" [Name] turns towards the younger male with a bright smile.

Tooru's head turns as well, only to be met with the deathly glare that he's oh so familiar with. He gives his little brother a smirk before turning back to [Name] and grabs a hold of her hand.

"Hey, [Name], how about I be your friend as well? The more the merrier, right?"

[Name] lets out a gasp, squeezing Tooru's hand in happiness, "Really? You'll be my friend too?"

Before Tooru can reply, [Name]'s hand is ripped away from his and he's stood face to face with Tobio again. Tobio pushes [Name] behind him, shielding her away from Tooru.

"No, she's my friend, not yours. Go find your own friends, Tooru," Tobio demands.

“You’re too mean, Tobio,” Tooru sighs, “Although I better leave the two of you alone before you decide to murder me in my sleep. Farewell, dear brother. I’ll see you soon, [Name]”

And with that, the older prince leaves the courtyard.

Tobio sighs in relief once Tooru disappears from view, he doesn't like the fact that Tooru tried to steal his only friend away from him. He knew that if Tooru became [Name]'s friend, she'd slowly disappear from his side and instead, at Tooru's.

After all, he is the better prince.

"Prince Tobio, are you okay?" [Name]'s concerning voice brings Tobio out of his bitter thoughts as she reaches for his hand.

He mutters something under his breath, his face flushing pink and he avoids looking at her but the words don't reach her ears.

"What did you say, Prince Tobio? I couldn't hear properly"

“Call me Tobio,” He repeats, “Just Tobio”

He peeks a look at [Name]'s face to find confusion.

"I mean, we're friends, right?" Tobio tells her, "Friends don't need to call me Prince Tobio"

planning ; oikawa tooru

Oikawa sighs in content as he snuggles closer to the hand that's stroking his cheek. His head lies on [Name]'s lap as the two watch reruns on the television. He looks up at his girlfriend who notices his stare, glances down and gives him a gentle smile before she focuses back on the TV.

"Hey, [Name]-chan?" Oikawa says and she hums in response, "I can't wait to marry you one day"

[Name] blinks in surprise, her face turning red and the hand stroking Oikawa's cheek forcefully pushes his face away so he doesn't see how flustered she had gotten.

"W-What? You idiot, don't say things like that!" [Name] splutters out, her free hand raises up to cover her own face as she tries to calm down her erratic heartbeat.

"Why not?" Oikawa laughs as he pries her hand off his cheek and turns to smile at her, "It's the truth, isn't it? One day, I'm going to marry you"

"Well, you haven't even asked me what I want. What if I don't want to marry you? What if I marry someone else in the future?" She questions him and Oikawa's playful expression turns into a serious one.

His hand reaches up behind her head and forces her down so he can capture her lips. 

"[Name]-chan is mine and I'm never letting you go," He tells her. 

[Name] rolls her eyes at his reply. Of course, she was only messing with him. [Name] can't imagine herself with anyone else either. Since it was known that Oikawa's first priority was always volleyball, [Name] was quite wary in getting into a relationship with him as she thought he wouldn't have enough time for her. That was why his previous girlfriends broke up wit him. 

But with [Name], he tried to go on a date with her at least once a week. Oikawa would walk [Name] home after both their club activities and after a few months of being together, he'd even stay overnight.

Three years down the road, they're in their last year of high school and still stronger than ever. Though [Name] understood that this was Oikawa's last year of high school volleyball, he still tried to balance his time between the two loves of his life as much as he could.

"Volleyball is very important to me but [Name]-chan is also very important to me too!"

[Name] flicks his nose and Oikawa lets out a little whine, "I'm kidding, Tooru. You sound so possessive"

"That's because I don't want anyone else to have you!" He pouted, "I want to be the one to marry you and have children together"

And as he talks about his plans for the future, the images also run through [Name]'s mind. A large house with three or four children running around, playing with the dogs, hiding in the treehouse, family holidays to the beach or abroad. Suddenly, she's looking forward to the future as much as he is.

"It sounds lovely and all but we're a bit too young for all that right now, Tooru," [Name] chuckles, "One day though"

The images of waking up next to Oikawa, as her husband left her heart fluttering.

"I can't wait," He brings her hand back up to his cheek and nuzzles into it.

She squeezes his hand, "Me too"

"Who do you think you are, talking to Prince Tobio as if he's your friend"

As Tobio heads towards his usual meet up spot to see [Name], he passes an alleyway where he hears his name. It's followed by soft crying and Tobio can't ignore it. He walks into the alley where he sees four figures - one's on the ground while surrounded by the other three.

"Prince Tobio would never be friends with a stupid orphan like you!" The centre boy laughs haughtily and the other two chime in.

Upon a closer look, his eyes widen as he realises the figure on the ground is none other than [Name].

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Tobio yells at the group of boys that surround [Name].

They're shocked at the sight of a royal but they immediately apologise and run off. Tobio runs over to [Name], who's covering her eyes behind her hands in an attempt to hide her tears.

When she feels Tobio's hand touch her head, she jumps towards him, wrapping her arms around his body and cries.

"We're still friends aren't we?" She asks in between cries, "Even if I'm an orphan? You'll still be my friend, right?"

"What kind of question is that?" Tobio asks her, wrapping his arms around her, "Who cares if you're an orphan? It doesn't matter at all! I'll be your friend forever so ignore those bullies, okay?"

To prove his point, he makes a promise to her that he'll visit her at the orphanage and play with her there.

Tobio knows he's going to get in trouble for sneaking out of the castle again but it's not his fault that it was boring. Though the King and Queen love him very much, and he knows this, they don't have much time to spend with their youngest son. He has an older brother, though he'd rather catch up on his royal studies than hang out with him - and that's saying a lot.

Tobio admits, he's quite lonely and he wishes that he had more friends. The 'friends' that his parents try to set play dates up with him are usually princesses and princes from other kingdoms - though they're much too snobby for his taste.

To be honest, Tobio didn't think he'd truly become friends with anyone until he met [Name].

"Oh, it's Prince Tobio!"

The little boy turns around to find another child, around the same age as him, staring in shock. Suddenly, she falls to her knees and bows.

"Good morning, Prince Tobio! My name is [Name], Prince Tobio! It's nice to meet you, Prince Tobio!" She passionately yells from her position on the ground.

"You don't need to do that," He walks over to her and pulls her up, "Stand up"

Immediately, [Name] jumps up, barely missing contact with Tobio's head in the process.

"Yes, Prince Tobio," She salutes him.

Though she's a bit odd, Tobio can't help but crack a small smile at her silliness.

"So what are you doing here?" She asks him, "Are you looking for your friends? I can help if you would like, Prince Tobio"

Tobio stiffens at the question, though he's ashamed to tell the girl that he actually does not have any friends and that he comes into the village to watch the other kids play. He'd join them but he's too awkward to ask.

He lets out a mumble and [Name] stares at him with a confused look.

She leans in closer to him, "What? I can't hear you, Prince Tobio"

"I...," Tobio sighs, "...I don't have any friends"

"Really?" [Name]'s eyes widen in shock, "I thought Prince Tobio would have lots and lots of friends!"

'Well you thought wrong', Tobio thinks grimly.

"Well then, would you like to be friends, Prince Tobio?" [Name] asks, shyly.

She doesn't expect a yes - why would a real prince want to be friends with a little village girl like her. [Name] almost misses the small, shy nod that Tobio gives her - and she smiles to brightly that Tobio wonders if it hurts.

"Alright!" [Name] beams, "From now on, me and you are friends!"

She grabs his hand and takes off in the direction of the forest.

"Come on! Let's go play right now!"

He smiles at the memory of his meeting with [Name]. Upon becoming friends, Tobio soon realises how loud and overactive [Name] is - it's quite tiring if he's being honest. He has to constantly chase after her because she wants to play a thousand games at once. But even so, though he'd never admit it aloud, Tobio's glad that they became friends.

Soon enough he reaches the orphanage. At the sight of the young prince, many of the children rush up to him in hopes to talk to him. Tobio greets them as politely as he can, though the only person he wants to see at the moment is [Name].

When the lady who runs the orphanage comes outside to greet him, he asks her where he could find [Name]. He's led into the big house and up the stairs when he stops in front of one of the rooms.

There's six names on the door, one of them being [Name]'s.

"She's in here, Prince Tobio," The woman smiles warmly at him, "Please call me if you need anything, my Prince"

He thanks her and knocks on the door. A girl opens the door - but it's not [Name]. But she lets out a gasp at the sight of Tobio which causes the other children in the room to peek out at the door to see who was there.

Tobio catches [Name]'s head pops into view and once she sees him, her face brightens up.

"Prince Tobio! You're here! I told you guys he'd come!" [Name] beams, running up to him, "You really came!"

"Of course I came," Tobio replies, a small blush rises on his face, "I promised, didn't I? And friends keep their promises"
