Akaashi Keiji x Fem! Reader 

author’s note: hey guys! this is the first chapter for my 50 followers fic “Third Times The Charm” (TTTC) hope yall like it^^ it’s looooong so ill put it below the cut 

(quick note, I took the privilege of putting myself in this HAHAHAHA)

☕ synopsis: Iwaizumi Y/n, a student who goes to Aoba Johsai as well as the second year manager for the school’s male volleyball team. What happens when she sets eyes on the cute setter from Fukurodani?

[ CHAPTER 1 - It might just work out ]

“Woah” 

You stare in awe as words can’t express the short rush of excitement every time you watch the volleyball players spike the ball. 

“Y/n~” your friend and third year manager for your school’s volleyball team, El hums as she gets your attention. 

“What are you looking at?” 

“The game obviously.” 

El bumps your shoulder with hers, sitting closer to you as she shows her sly smile

“Oh ho, you didn’t specify.” 

“Elaborate on that please.” you ask, eyeing your friend with a curious look 

“Are you watching the ball or the pretty guy setting the ball?” 

You notice how El emphasized on the word “setting”, looking back at the court as she motions with her fingers. 

“That one?” 

You proceed to playfully punch her shoulder 

El lets out a giggle as she leans closer towards you  “I can get his number for you.”

“That’s funny.”  “Besides, I can get it on my own.” El smirks when she sees you rolling your eyes 

“So you’re interested.” 

“NO- I mean, like, that was hypothetical.” 

“Your reaction reaaaaaally isn't helping here.”

The sound of a volleyball hitting the ground cuts El off as the both of you turn your heads over to see the team your cute setter is on, cheering. 

You groan while standing up, heading towards the exit of the hall, with El following closely behind. 

“Awww giving up already?” 

“What do you think?” you wink

“Woah~ were you always this bold or did this happen because you feel like getting back at your ex?”

“C’mon El, I was always this bold. That man just wasn’t worth it.” 

“Now that’s my girl!” El excitedly puts her arm over your shoulder as you slowly conjure up a plan in order to take your pretty setter on a date. 

“Anyways did you see the guy with spiky hair? He’s adorable! The way he cheers makes me want to smile…” your mouth curves into a small smile as your friend continues to gush about the team members from just now. 

----

“Iwa-chan!” 

“Yeah?” 

“Oh, fuck.” you grumble under your breath.

“Language.” your brother gives you a glare as you stick out your tongue at him.

It's always an awkward situation whenever someone says “Iwa-chan”, but hey it isn’t your fault for having the same family name as Hajime. 

Break time at the volleyball camp is chaotic, just a bunch of teenage guys fighting for meat while the team managers watch or help cook the meat. It’s hilarious to watch too.

“Hey El, can you help me with this, I need to uh, leave for a moment.” 

“Sure?” El raises her eyebrows as you pass her the tongs. 

“I’ll uh be riiiiiiight back.”  You swear you saw El wink and mouth “Good luck” at you when you left. 

----

“That’s him! Perfect, he’s not around him right now.” you take a deep breath while hoping your plan will work out like you planned. 

“Hi there! You’re uh, Bokuto right?” 

“Yup!” the boy enthusiastically replies, you look downwards to see his hands holding a plate filled with meat.

“Woah- uh Bokuto-san I have a small request if you don’t mind.” 

“Sure! I’ll gladly help a cute girl like you!!” being stunned by the sudden compliment, you fidget with your hands even more.

“Uh the setter on your team, the one with messy black hair?”

“You mean Akaashi?” 

“That’s his name?”  “Nevermind” you quickly continue to ask your questions.

“Does he have a… you know uh, a girlfriend?” the question came up in a whisper 

“AKAASHI HAS A GIRLFRIEND?” 

Your face flushes pink as you fumble with your hands

“Not so loud! It was just a question!” 

Before Bokuto answered he took a huge bite of his meat, chewing it as he reply 

“MhMm I don’t know, why don’t you ask him? He’s over there.” 

“nO-” you raise your voice at him

“AKAASHI!” 

Before the charming boy can see you, you take off running as fast as you can. Your heart beats fast with an equal amount of embarrassment and excitement. You’ve never felt this nervous before, not even when trying to get your ex out on a date for the first time. With that being said, that man was definitely not worth it. 

You can feel your face heating up as you slow down your steps, out of breath as you sit down on the stairs in front of the hall. 

Well that didn’t work out well, neither did your first attempt this morning. You had your lines ready to ask him, but before you could talk to him your brother yelled for you.  “Dammit Hajime, did you really have to ruin my chances of talking to such a gorgeous man.”

Here you are now sitting in front of the hall, you let out a soft sigh while hugging your legs. 

You didn’t just find Akaashi attractive, the way he has his focus completely in the court when he plays just draws you in more. You want to know more about him, he started out as a complete stranger, but the more you watch him play the more interesting he gets.

He doesn’t celebrate by cheering as loudly as possible, he stands there quietly, always observing and deciding which was the best move. 

He is like the sunset, you want to see more of it as the time goes on. As soon as the sun sets and the orange sky slowly fades to black, you wish to look at it over and over again. 

“Maybe love just isn’t for me yet…” “Dammit y/n don’t let him get to you! Your ex lover was just an asshole who thinks you are undeserving of love.” 

You lightly slap both sides of your cheeks before standing up, determined to find a way to talk to Akaashi. You take a look at your surroundings as you head inside the hall, it was empty at that time with only the belongings of the volleyball players placed on the benches. 

Your eyes sparkle as you come up with a plan.

“THAT'S IT!”

----

“Akaashi come get your stuff.” 

“Bokuto-san… have you been taking photos with my phone?” 

“Why? Is there something in your phone?” 

Bokuto walks over to Akaashi as he holds out his phone,

“Is that a picture of a phone?” 

“Who’s phone is this?” 

“How would I know?” 

“It also has a phone number typed on the screen.”

Akaashi narrows his eyes as he tries to make sense of the photo. He noticed that there was a figure of someone with slightly longer hair in the photo, presumably a girl who took it. There was also a keychain in the shape of an owl connected to the phone in the photo. 

“Maybe you should give them a call or text.” Bokuto suggests as he hands Akaashi his bag. 

“That would be weird… and I don’t even know who they are.” 

“I mean, that person took a photo of their number for a reason right? Akaashi just relax, it should be fine.” Bokuto reassures 

Akaashi stands up, the thought of texting the person who took that picture intrigues him, but should he? What if that person took the wrong phone? What if it was a prank? 

“C'mon Kaa’shi, you won’t know unless you try.”  “And hurry up, the bus is waiting!” 

Akaashi can’t help but softly smile at his friend, you ought to be careful when taking advice from Bokuto-san, but taking this one wouldn’t hurt right? 

----

“Gosh y/n stop it.” 

“Stop what?” 

“You can’t even sit still on the bus right now.” 

El leans closer before asking “What’s got you so excited.” she asks as she raises one eyebrow.

----

“YOU WHAT?” 

“Shhh keep it down El!” 

“You took a photo of your phone with your number on it with his phone?”

“Genius right?” 

El lightly slaps the side of her legs, laughing  “And now you’re waiting for him to call you?”.

“Hey in my defence that was the only thing I can come up with, don’t blame me for having such amazing ideas.” you mock the word “amazing” while waving your arms in the shape of a rainbow.

“Plus, third times the charm.” 

“Hmm y/n, it might just work out.” 

You blush slightly at the thought of that, looking over to the window “Maybe it might…”

“HEY- “STOP PLEASE- STOP THAT!”  El suddenly starts tickling you, making you laugh while yelling for her to stop

“This is payback for not getting the cute spiker’s phone number for me!”

“HeY- that isn’t my fault! You could’ve gotten it yourself A- STOP”

“You done?”  the both of you turn your heads to see Hajime standing beside your seats, glaring at the both of you.

“Some of us are trying to rest here.” 

“Sorry Haji…” you mumble at your brother. 

“Iwa-chan, don’t go too harsh on our managers!” Oikawa yelled from the back of the bus 

“Yeah, don’t go too harsh on us Iwaizumi-kun.” you can’t help but giggle as soon as El said that.

Hajime then looks you in the eye to tell you

“Oh y/n, you’re doing the dishes tonight.”

“Wait... it’s my turn already?” 

“No, but i thought it’d be fun to mess up our turns.” 

“You can’t do that!”

“I’m older than you.”

“BY NINE MINUTES! AND HOW IS THAT A VALID ARGUMENT??”

“Doesn’t change anything.” he smirks as you stare at him with your mouth wide open 

“Can you believe him?” you cross your arms as El pats your back, chuckling at your dismay.

----

“Haji, I’m heading to bed now.” 

“All right, good night Chicken.” 

“Stop calling me that or I’ll tell Tooru-san you think he looks better than you.”

“Using my pride against me huh, well played.” 

“Shut up.” 

Hajime smirks and shakes his head while you run up the staircase to your room.

----

“Finally.” 

You jump onto your bed, happily tossing and turning on it. Just as you reach for your phone, the notification buzzes and it falls from the table. 

“uUghH…” you try to reach it from your bed, stretching your arms as far as you can so you wouldn't need to get up. 

“Who’s this?” you mumble to yourself, staring at the unknown number who just texted you.

╔═════ ∘◦ ☆ ◦∘ ══════╗

Unknown: 

Hello?

Y/n:

Do I know you??

Unknown: 

Who are you?

Y/n: 

WhaT 😕 😕 ?? How did you get my number??

Unknown: 

You were the one who left it on my phone with a picture

╚═════ ∘◦ ❉ ◦∘ ══════╝

“What the hell? Who’s stupid enough to do that?” you read in disbelief

“Tap tap tap” the room was quiet, just the sound of you typing on your phone

╔═════ ∘◦ ☆ ◦∘ ══════╗

Y/n: 

😔 That’s some lame excuse you got there buddy.

Unknown: 

Are you kidding me? Is this a prank? 

╚═════ ∘◦ ❉ ◦∘ ══════╝

“Psh someone probably pranked this poor person.” you were about to drag his contact into your blacklist until a sudden realization hit you like a bullet. 

Are you the idiot who was stupid enough to leave someone a picture of your phone number?

“Oh shit.”

What's your dream pet? I love having doggos.

You see a mermaid while relaxing on the beach with friends. What now? lol I’d just assume it was a group of people chillin’ with mermaid tails. You can buy blankets or costume pieces like that, so.

When you were little, did you ever like Pokemon? I did have a brief Pokemon phase. I collected the cards, too.

Do you have any songs stuck in your head right now? If so, what? That new Wendy’s jingle, “Bag alert, major bag alert.” That commercial comes on constantly and that’s literally the only words to the jingle. It’s annoying.

GIRL ALL OF MY SENTENCES ARE TOO LONG HAHAHAH IN FACT THIS IS TOO LONG SOOO (also why am i 3 days late..😑) anywho it’s 1 in the morning so <33 lovely anon

🥰

oh my god the fact that you cried nearly made me cry too😭😭🥺🥺 (also, your brother LMAO), i wasn‘t even sure if you‘d see it but i immediately thought of you so of COURSE i included you <333

the hulu police lsjsjaiaik, girl i was ready to get a hulu membership when i wanted to watch big time adolescence and i couldn‘t find it anywhereee, and when i got to the payment it said i need a bank account that‘s based in the US or whatever. like bro i was about to pay you!! but i was forced to find it somewhere (and i did, on levidia,— not that i‘ve ever used it because it‘s illegal 😤 i would never!!! i‘d rather support billion dollar companies and spend my money on watching films that i can find for free 🥰🥰🥰 not

i‘ve found chaos walking online so i‘ll watch it som time this week!! also YES TELL ME THE STORY

okay so idk if you watched/are planning on watching falcon and winter soldier but i watched the first episode the other day and they were speaking french (just a few seconds) and I UNDERSTOOD SOME WORDS DLDJDJ and i was so proud of myself. i‘ve only ever learned french with duolingo lol (i only do like 5 mins a day and that‘s why i was so surprised that i understood some of it!!). and yeah apart from latin i feel like italian, german, french and english are all similar in a sense.. i mean obviously they‘re completely different languages but for example there are some grammatical constructions in french that i think i wouldn‘t understand if i only spoke english? so when i translate those things into english you can‘t directly translate them bc you say things differently, but when i translate them into german then it makes more sense to me. idk that‘s something i noticed so i feel like if you already know multiple languages it‘s easier to learn another language compared to if you only know one language and are trying to learn a second one. even if the languages aren‘t similar then i think you get the hang of it easier.

ikd slsjsjs also i don‘t want you to think that i‘m a linguistic genius or anything lmfao, like i‘m only fluent in english and german and i‘m just a wannabe (ew that word) polyglot sksj (yes i had to google polyglot— i do think learning ancient greek would be super cool tho? like imagine studying latin AND ancient greek, whew). and honestly i don‘t think i‘ll ever be fluent in another language bc i don‘t plan on living anywhere other than germany or possibly england and i‘m not dedicated enough to properly learn any other languages esp if i don‘t have anyone to speak the language with. but i still try my best and i just love language/languages as a whole so yeah i‘m happy & just learning as much as i can dkdjh🥰

(I guess language/linguistics are/is my passion (which sounds sooo lame lmaoooo) and the word passion comes from the latin word pati (i think💀) which means to suffer, and in german passion is called Leidenschaft which basically means suffering too, idk why i‘m telling you this maybe you know it already. but ok dumb fun fact, in german you can make compound words with as many words as you like, and the longest official german word is Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz which is a law for the monitoring of labels on beef... this is such a dumb fact but i think about that word like once a day idk why dodjsjsj so... 👁👄👁)

but i‘ll stop boring you with my linguistics talk because truly i don‘t know much about languages but i am interested omg i‘m gonna shut up now.

now water + sharks. (so in non-covid times i always go to croatia with my dad during the summer, and even before ever watching a shark film i was always kind of scared in water.. but after watching so many shark films wldjdj HELP Like you know when you go deeper into the ocean and you can‘t see or feel the ground/floor? anymore.. then i just start imagining sharks. like i can‘t help it i just imagine a shark sneaking up on me or feeling something graze my foot ABD I JUST START FREAKING OUT SSKJSHSJ. idk. anyway kdkdh i do love the ocean/swimming though but the older i get the more i realise how fucking scary the ocean is ( even if we’re gonna disregard sharks)

I don't mind if you hate me

Cause if I were you

I'd hate me too

//

I woke up to Bill shuffling against my pale sheets. I smiled up at him. My legs were tangled between his. He smiled back,"Good morning."

"Good morning...I honestly expected you to be gone in the morning." "Never." He smiled, running his hands up and down my bare torso.

"Can I confess something?" He asked, his face suddenly serious. I nodded. "I've been in love with you since sixth grade. And when you stated talking to me, I couldn't be happier." I smiled wide, my shoulders coming up, accompanying a laugh.

"I used to imagine you were my girlfriend. I would hug my pillow when I was sad and pretend it was you. One time, Georgie walked in and caught me." He laughed. "Awwwe, that's so sweet." I hugged him.

"If I told twelve year old me that I was with you, he'd probably faint." He laughed again. I laughed too,"That is so cute."

"You were just so pretty, and I could never work up the courage to talk to you. I thought you would laugh at my stutter." "Oh, no, never. I thought your stutter was cute."

"Really?" "Oh yeah. You can ask-" I stopped at her name,"It was cute." I smiled. He smiled uncomfortably. "Are you hungry? I can make you breakfast." He asked. "That sounds great." I smiled, standing. I grabbed the first piece of clothing I saw on the floor: Bill's long-sleeve.

I pulled it over my bare torso, then pulled on a pair of black denim cut-offs. He slipped on his undershirt, then pulled on his jeans.

We walked down the stairs, laughing about a story he told me. Him and Eddie were arguing with Bowers and his dad ruined Henry's fun, making him look like a pussy in front of his friends.

When we got down to the kitchen Kali and James were finishing their breakfast. I ignored them, walking through the large room silently.

"So, what're we makin?" I asked, hoisting myself onto the kitchen counter. He shrugged,"What do you want?" I got off the marble counter and went to the fridge. I opened the door, alarmed at the lack of supply.

"Hmmm...We might need to go for a shopping trip..." I muttered to myself. "That's fine. Can I swing by my house on the way?" "Oh, yeah."

We walked to the front door, putting on our shoes and I grabbed my keys. "I knew you were mad at each other, but man, that was kinda awkward." He laughed nervously as I shut the door.

I shrugged,"It's their fault, not mine. You wanna drive?" I asked as I walked down the pavement of the driveway. "Sure." I tossed him the keys, waiting for him to unlock the car.

"Woah," He laughed as he pulled out of the driveway,"Your car is so different from mine." I laughed in response. "You still live here?" I asked as he puled over in front of his house. "Mhm. My whole life." He mumbled as he opened the door.

He came back out a few minutes later with light jeans on, he was throwing a multicolored windbreaker over his white shirt. "Alright, Freese's it is." He smiled, turning out of the street.

He pulled into a parking space, turning the car off. We walked into the small grocery store, feeling the air condoning hit our skin. "Where to first?" Bill asked, grabbing my hand. I smiled at his actions,"The frozen section."

We gathered out things in a plastic basket, bringing it up to the register. Bill and I put the items on the conveyer belt, talking quietly while the older woman rung us up.

She smiled,"You two make a cute couple." I looked at Bill as he looked to me,"Oh, we're no-I'm not-" I laughed, unclasping his hand. She laughed again,"Alright."

I saw Bill smile to himself as he grabbed the bag. "Have a nice day you two." The woman smiled again. "You as well." I smiled back. Bill nodded, intertwining his fingers with mine again.

When we got back to the house Kali and James's cars were gone. Finally. I walked up the driveway with Bill in tow. I got into the completely empty house, smiling at the silence.

After we made breakfast we decided to watch a movie. "Hmmm, you wanna watch Dazed and Confused?" I asked, pulling the DVD case out of the shelf. He shrugged,"Sure." I nodded, popping the disk out of the case. I put it in the movie player, then sat next to Bill on the sofa.

Pickford and his friends were handing out licks to the new Freshman when the phone started ringing. I sighed,"I'll be back." I walked to the kitchen, picking up the plastic receiver.

"Hello?" "Hey Danielle." It was Beverly. "You coming to the party tonight?" "Mhm." These people party too much. "Anyway, Jake and I are having lunch tomorrow, you want come with Bill?" "I'll ask Bill real quick."

I sat the receiver on top of the hanging phone and peaked my head out of the kitchen doorway. "Bill, you wanna have lunch with Bev and Jake tomorrow?"

"Sure." He shrugged. I nodded, picking the receiver back up. "We'll be there. Just tell me where to meet you guys." "Alright, see you then." " see ya then." I hung up the phone.

Bill's watch beeped a few minutes after I came back. "Oh-uh-I have to go. I'm sorry." His voice was gentle and soft as usual. "That's alright. Are you coming to the party tonight?" No one really knew whose party it was, we just went to the address given out.

"Uh, yeah, sure." He shrugged. "Oh, you want your sweater back?" I asked, grabbing the end of the sweater, preparing to take it off. "No, you can keep it." He smiled. "Thanks." I smiled back. He kissed my cheek, then turned to leave.

Where was he off to in such a rush? I thought as he closed the door. I sighed once he was gone. Alone. Again. I turned the TV off and went up to my room.

I laid out on my bed, Smiths playing. "Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head. See, the sea wants to take me. The knife wants to slit me. Do you think you can help me? Sad veiled bride, please be happy. Handsome groom, give her room." I sang along with Morrissey.

"Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly. Though she needs you more than she loves you. And I know it's over, but still I claim, I don't know where else I can go..." I turned over, closing my eyes to sleep. "If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?" I heard as I drifted off.

I woke up to silence. I sat up groggily, wiping my eyes of sleep. I stretched, noticing the time on my watch. I jumped up, scrambling for my socks and shoes. I decided to wear what I was already wearing.

I ran down the staircase, grabbing my purse from the coat rack. I ripped the door open, slamming it shut behind me as I ran to the car. When I got in I smoothed down my hair.

I arrived half an hour late, which no one took too much notice to. I looked around, not seeing Bill anywhere. In fact, I don't see any of my friends here. Not even Kali.

I spotted the back of Eddie, standing against the base of the stairs. Maybe I'd strike up a conversation with him. "Hey Eds." I smiled as I walked over to him. I quickly noticed the look on his face.

He looked uncomfortable. "What's wrong?" I asked, standing next to him, leaning on the wall that held the stairs. He shrugged,"I can't find my friends." "Me either." I sighed. "But uh, hey, we can be friends." I offered my best friendly smile.

"Okay." He smiled back. It looked genuine. I asked him about history and his other classes. We were making casual conversation. "Have you gotten a drink yet?" Eddie asked. I shook my head. "Oh, you have to. Makes the party more tolerable." "Alright, let's go." I laughed.

As we walked to the drink table, someone trips Eddie. "Faggot." The guy spat as he turned to look at Eddie. "What the fuck did you just say?" I retorted. "He just seems like he'd be into that type of thing." "What? Getting fucked by dudes? So what is he was?" I asked, my brows furrowing.

The guy looked at me, mouth open, no rebuttal. "Yeah, fuck off." I rolled my eyes, turning around to the drink table. Eddie laughed,"Hey, thanks." I nodded, smiling,"Anytime." He laughed nervsouly.

"You know I wouldn't judge you if you were...y'know...gay." He nodded. I grabbed a red solo cup, downing what was in the cup. "Eck, that was disgusting." I scowled, laughing.

Eddie picked up a cup, downing what I assumed was vodka. I laughed, doing the same. "Alright, two's enough for me." Laughed again. "Three's my limit." He held up the 'okay' symbol with his hand.

We sat on the sofa, laughing. "Well," I said, standing,"I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." I felt the alcohol affect me as I walked toward the stairs.

"Well, well, if it isn't Little Danielle Sinclair, once again." A familiar voice sounded. I looked up as Jake Marsh pushed his way through the crowd.

I smiled at him,"If it isn't Jake Marsh, once again." He laughed,"So uh, hows life been since yesterday?" He asked. I laughed at his stupid joke,"Better. Bill's a sweetie pie." He smiled,"You're having lunch with us tomorrow, correct?" I nodded.

"I'm actually only way to the bathroom, so I'm gonna get back to that." I laughed. "See ya tomorrow." I nodded, walking up the stairs.

As I walked the stairs I passed Richie. His dark curls sent me back to Friday afternoon. I smiled as he passed me. He narrowed his eyes at me, sending a dirty look my way. I threw an eyebrow up, confusion flushing me. Whatever. Richie's always been a dick.

I walked down the stairs from the bathroom, beelining for the living room to find the couch once again. When I arrived, Richie was sitting in my previous spot.

"Hey, uh, I don't want to be a bummer, but this is my spot." I told Richie. He laughed,"Good one. Sit on the floor." His face went serious during the second part of his sentence.

"Just get up!" Eddie yelled. We both looked at him, surprised.

"Dani!" Someone grabbed my arm, pulling me back. "Fuck off!" I yanked my arm back from Kali. She grabbed my arm again,"Just, please, come with me, you need to see this." "What is it? You fucking my brother again?" I retorted, tilting my head forward.

She shook her head,"Just come on!" She pulled my arm again. I sighed, giving up. I let her pull me up the stairs. As we reached a room, she put her finger to her lips. She pressed her head to the door, nodding.

"K-" She covered my mouth with her hand. She pressed her forefinger to her lips again. She grabbed the handle, twisting. The ripped the door open.

I saw Bill and Casey, kissing on the side of the bed. I covered my mouth with my hand. "Bill! What the fuck?" I screamed into the room. He looked up at me, at a loss for words.

Casey smirked. "W-we never r-really broke up-p." He put his head down, scratching the back of his head. "Fuck you, Bill! And here, take your stupid fucking sweater back!" I pulled off the red sweater, throwing it at his chest. I turned, running down the stairs.

I ran through the crowd of people as Kali and Bill called my name, running after me. As I left the house I kept running. My legs didn't stop as the tears rushed down my face. I covered my mouth to stifle my cries.

A car slowed next to me. The window rolled down,"Danielle?" Jake asked. I stopped running, my feet yielding to a walk. "What's wrong?" He asked. I stopped walking, turning to his car. I burst into tears.

He got out quickly, rushing me into his car. "Don't take me home. I don't want to be there." I shook my head. "Alright." He nodded, heading toward his apartment.

Has your taste in Otome men changed over time? (Personality)

Mine has!!! For which type have I fallen victim to this time around? ohoho ↴

1. do-S + Arrogant + Ore-sama

As for me, I could never take my eyes off the do-S + Arrogant/Oresamas when I first started playing otome games. The “asshole” that likes to tease MC, but eventually falls head over heels for her & is secretly kind & caring (yet retains their do-S attitude) Sound familiar? Yes, those guys. Not only are they commonly seen as the first route option, but they were also commonly my 1st pick at one point in time, too. lol

Examples: 

Prince Alph (Princess of the Moon) 

Chiaki Kira (SSS) 

Ayato Sakamaki (Dialovers)

Eisuke (KBTBB)

2. Flirts

There was a brief period in time when I found myself going for the Flirts, whom I nicknamed “the playboy who may or may not be a playboy” because somehow, even though he’s a flirt, he may or may not actually fool around with multiple women (or in some cases, flirts unconsciously because they’re just a natural flirt). I find these characters fun and sexy in how they waste no time or opportunity to make a sexual approach/comment towards MC that causes her to either 1. become flustered or 2. in some cases, speechless (like is this guy for real or nah?!). lol Meanwhile, I’m just like “Please, take me now.” ohoho

Examples:

Kyle (Lost Alice) 

Ikki (Amnesia) 

Kento Orihama (Decoding Desire)

Nagito Aoshima (Scandal in the Spotlight)

I still have a soft spot for those, but that didn’t last long because:

3.  Older Brother/Caring & Cool (Kuudere)

Lately, I find myself going for 2 types: 

Older Brother/Caring type who may or may not be possessive/protective. No, they are not actually your brother. I’m not into incest, thank you lol  Is it the head pats? Is it because they’re reliable? Maybe it’s because I’m the oldest child & likes to take care of people, so I want someone reliable to take care of me & protect me? Idk why, I honestly don’t, but I’m weak for these guys!!! lol As long as they don’t over do it in sister-zoning me, though!

Examples:

Toma (Amnesia) 

Toma Kira (SSS) 

Hideyoshi Toyotomi (Ikesen) 

Takamasa Isumi (Decoding Desire)

The other is the Cool type. I noticed that I’m now a big sucker for the Kuuderes! I actually hated these type because it was difficult for me to read them lmfao Like, what happened to me?! I love it if my Kuuderes have another of the traits mentioned above. Bonus points if they are the Cool + Awkward type, who may or may not be sheltered & clueless about a thing or two~ I think these characters are super fun to interact with because their cluelessness makes their actions really adorable, however, at times they can also leave you speechless with how straight-forward they can be…they’re so exciting ohoho One minute I’m like “Awww he’s so cute!!!” & the other minute I’m like “OMG! How can he say something so fucking sexy with a straight face?! Fucking take me! *nosebleed/blush/drops panties to the floor* ”

Examples:

Chronus Carlyle (Lost Alice) 

Jumin Han (MM) 

Sotaro Shiga (Liar! Uncover the Truth)

Soryu Oh (KBTBB)

Of course, there’s also combinations from those types I mentioned above. The more qualities they have, the better! It’s no surprise that some of my recent favorite otome husbands have a combination of those traits:

Toma Kira (SSS), a Cool + do-S + Older Brother/Caring type

Toma Kiriya (Irresistible Mistakes), a Cool + do-S/Ore-Sama There’s a reason why I say he’s the perfect guy!

Owen Chester (Lost Alice), a Cool + do-S + Flirt

Hideyoshi Toyotomi (Ikesen), an Older Brother/Caring + Flirt (even if it’s unconsciously) + Awkward type (I think he can be awkward sometimes hehe)

Did you notice a pattern? I did! It seems that I’m weak for the do-S + Cool type. 💦💦💦 Older brother/Caring type + Flirt comes in 2nd.

One thing is for sure: My love for otome men who love to tease/is aドS (do-S/Sadistic), and is a 肉食系 (Carnivore) hasn’t changed. If they like to tie you up…or put you in a cage…even better lmfao I’m joking about the cage btw.

However, exceptions do occur. Just because a character has a quality I love, doesn’t mean I’ll love every character of that type, especially if they have a trait I dislike. I’m looking @ you, Toshiaki Kijima (Irresistible Mistakes). lol

Also, every once in awhile, I’ll find myself falling for a type that’s unusual for me to fall for like the Younger than MC type. I usually find these guys annoying af because 1. they’re immature 2. too pure or 3. have child-like appearance lol but every once in awhile, if they have a combination of one of my fave traits, these guys will make my heart go “doki doki”. Like, let me be your onee-san!

Examples:

Naoto Fuyuno (Lust in Terror Manor) 

Azusa Kurono (Liar! Uncover the Truth) 

Keisuke Shijo  (Liar! Office Deception)

Well there you have it. I wonder what my type will be in the future…The Ojii-sans?! lolol Feel free to comment on how your taste has changed over time ^_^
