When Tooru gave the 6'2, olive-eyed captain and wing spiker of their rival team a chance,

now he is stuck with a clingy, overprotective husband and a three-year-old who is his exact carbon copy.

Other Haikyuu Fans: "Kagehina is better because X!" "No, Atsuhina is better because Y!" "Bullshit, neither of them is good, is better Kenhina!" "There are better ships in Haikyuu like IwaOi and Daisuga!" "I don't like IwaOi, I prefer BokuAka!" And more...

Me, who literally ships those ships, the most popular Haikyuu ships, and also a lot of rare pairs: Umm- okay :D

Ushijima-Oikawa parallels with Kageyama-Hinata

To me, Ushijima and Oikawa are like a tragic parallel to Hinata and Kageyama. If Oikawa had gone to Shiratorizawa then he and Ushijima could've had the partnership that Kagehina had. But because he didn't, they will never know what it's like to make the other feel invincible.

Shipping goggles aside, the parallels have to be intentional (haikyuu is too well-written for it to be just a coincidence): Both Ushijima and Kageyama were framed as naturally gifted volleyball monsters. Meanwhile Oikawa and Hinata believed that they were just average (even though the people around them know that they have their own strengths). Ushijima was the one who kept winning against Oikawa, just like how Kageyama was always ahead of Hinata. Both Hinata and Oikawa went abroad to gain experience so they could finally beat their rival. Ushijima and Kageyama are both awkward, intimidating, and ASD-coded while Hinata and Oikawa are framed as easy-going extroverted chatterboxes. These pairs are literally so similar it's crazy. Look at them and tell me it's not intentional

It also makes sense when you consider that their playstyles are also complementary. Kageyama and Hinata were a good match for each other because Hinata needed Kageyama's precision and Kageyama needed someone agile to match his own speed. But Ushijima's only requirement is for the ball to be set high and the right distance from the net so it's easy to hit. And which setter is known for dedicating themselves to their spikers, giving them easy sets? Oikawa. They truly could've been a terrifying duo.

I think Furudate was trying to show what Kageyama and Hinata could've been if they didn't team up. They'd still be strong, sure, but not invincible like they were in Karasuno. (as opposed to the Miya twins, who were supposed to show what they could've been like if they had an equal from the very beginning)

But in the end it all worked out for everyone! They all got to play on the world stage together. Ushijima and Oikawa even had their reconciliation at the all stars match (still waiting on the Oikawa-Kageyama reconciliation please please please 👀). They're all happy so I suppose it isn't actually tragic. I just cant help but wonder what could have been if Ushijima and Oikawa learned what it's like to be each other's greatest ally. Hinata and Kageyama were so lucky to have found each other after all.

#ushioi | Roommates

Much to Tooru's dismay, the squeak of their apartment door closing instantly drew Wakatoshi's attention from his book.

He tried his best to make little to no sound, but the latter glanced up from the couch, eyeing his suspiciously puffed-out jacket.

"I had a huge meal. "Like a real, huge one." He patted his swollen jacket nervously.

Wakatoshi raised a skeptical eyebrow, doubting that was the reason why he looked like he was stuffed with a small pillow.

"I'm p-pregnant?" he panicked.

"We haven't done it yet," Wakatoshi teased.

Tooru's face grew red at what he had just shamelessly said. Eyes darting around the room landing everywhere but Wakatoshi.

Feeling defeated as he has no more excuses to give. He slowly unzipped his jacket, revealing a shivering ball of fur.

A cat peeked out with wide, emerald eyes.

"I found her outside. It was pouring, and she was soaking wet and meowing her little heart out. I couldn't just leave her."

Wakatoshi stared at the cat and then back at Tooru.

"You know we can't keep her, we're not allowed to..."

"I know, I know!"

Tooru interrupted, his voice pleading.

"Just for tonight? Please, Waka-chan? I'll find her a good home. I have friends who can adopt her."

The cat, sensing its moment, let out a little “mew” and blinked at him.

"Fine" Wakatoshi relented.

A month later.

"It's unfair"

Tooru said, visibly sulking on their couch.

The cat is still very much present in their apartment and, what's more, she's basically glued to Wakatoshi. Meanwhile, Tooru would consider himself lucky if he could get her to stay for a minute on his lap.

"She loves you" Wakatoshi assured, sitting next to him with the cat snuggled into his neck.

Tooru just jealously stared at the two. Unsure whether he wants to be Wakatoshi or the cat.

Shiratorizawa's obsession.

Shiratorizawa's captain's obsession over Seijoh's is well known, but what about the Middle Blockers? Based on an official art (in the 2nd pic).
