Haikyuu screenshots redraw (part 2)

Season two!

I'm currently around the middle of S4. Did I say I never watched Haikyuu before this? Almost 21 and I discover this like any middleschooler ever. Never too late, tho.

me when fated soulmates

[theheightofdishonor]

I like most hq ships but the ones I consider 'most canon' would be kghn, bokuaka and asanoya (maybe even in that order). So like I was wondering what do yall consider to be more 'canon' ships, like there's arguments you could make based on the text for why they'd have to be romantic?

Introducing: Haikyuu couples as cats because I was bored as shit

(Lmao the top of Tsukki's head got cut off bc he's too tall)

[theoceanofasanoya]

day 1 of asanoya: coffee smell (tags: pre-relationship au, fluff, cafe au, non-canon au

“Your usual?” The cute guy behind the counter asks. Asahi’s face becomes hot in a second, and he nods, trying to hide into his scarf to hide his blush. Nishinoya Yuu is charming, confident, and forward; pretty much the opposite of what Asahi thinks he is.

The cafe is empty this early in the morning. Asahi’s coffee time is almost the same time as they open; and since he’s a regular here, they’ve told him he can stop pretending to look around the neighbourhood to kill ten minutes before he walks in.

Today, it’s just him and Nishinoya in the cafe.

“One decaf and one iced americano,” Nishinoya says and doesn’t announce his total. Because it’s always the same, Asahi thinks, then opens his wallet from his tote bag. Nishinoya tuts, startling Asahi for a second. “It’s on the house if you answer two of my questions.”

“Oh?” Asahi looks around for any hints. “Is... Is there a special offer or something?”

“Or something,” Nishinoya grins. His brilliant, confident, toothy smile leaves Asahi’s knees a little weak. The cafe has a permanent coffee smell, and Asahi wonders if Nishinoya does too. And if he does, does he like smelling like it? He seems to be the type to have a great work-life balance; does he hate smelling coffee in the morning, because it reminds him of work?

His thoughts are interrupted by Nishinoya’s first question. “Who do you get the other coffee for? I’ve noticed your friends don’t pick up coffee with you.”

“Oh.” Asahi’s face is definitely too hot now. He glances at the board above them, wondering if he really missed a sign, then responds, quietly, “it’s for me. I drink the decaf in the morning and the americano in the evening.”

“You could come and get it in the evening,” Nishinoya leans over the counter a little bit. Asahi fiddles with his hands inside his hoodie pocket. He looks away, trying to suppress his smile and the butterflies in his stomach. “I’d love to see you around often.”

“I live a little far from the campus...” Asahi doesn’t even know why he’s offering up so much information to Nishinoya, but he likes the little surprised reaction he gets from Nishinoya a lot, so he continues. Shrugging, he adds, “I have too many assignments to work on, too.”

“Okay.” Nishinoya nods solemnly. “Next question: do you have a girlfriend?”

Asahi sputters at the question, looking at the barista with wide eyes. He says, “E-eh?”

“Do you have a girlfriend?” He asks like it’s very normal for something like this to happen. Asahi stares at Nishinoya for a minute, unsure of how to respond.

“I don’t,” he mumbles. “Why do you ask?”

“A handsome man like yourself ought to have a partner,” Nishinoya says, leaning closer to Asahi. His face is more than halfway across the counter, and his grin has become more sly. “Don’t you think so?”

“A-ah. Thank you.” Asahi bows. Since Nishinoya brought up the topic, he carefully adds, “I’m not very interested in girls.”

He omits the ‘for now’ that appears in this excuse. Worse comes to worst, I’ll stop coming here! He tries to convince himself: this guy knows very little about me, I don’t have to worry too much.

“Oh.” Nishinoya straightens himself up, but there’s no malice or disgusting in his actions that follow. In fact, his grin becomes a little wider. “Good to know. As I promised, today’s order is on the house for you!”

“Thank you.” Asahi bows deeper than usual and Nishinoya winks at him in response.

~*~

Asahi stops in his tracks when he finds Ennoshita opening the shutters of the cafe.

He must’ve changed his shift because of me, Asahi thinks and his heart aches. Then, shaking his head, he tells himself, that’s a good. I don’t have to change my regular cafe, and I dogged a homophobe.

It doesn’t help, but he walks up to the cafe anyway, trying to smile when Ennoshita greets him. He places his tote bag with most of his assignments on the counter, and adjusts his outfit. Nishinoya was practically climbing on top of this counter yesterday, his mind supplies bitterly. Don’t start getting your hopes up just because someone’s nice to you.

Before Ennoshita can come up to the counter, the door bell rings.

“Welcome to the cafe,” Asahi says, turning around to greet the customer. He freezes when he finds Nishinoya. His heartbeat picks up. “Oh. Hi.”

“Hi!” Nishinoya beams, taking long steps to reach Asahi. “I’m Nishinoya Yuu.”

“Azumane Asahi,” he says, unable to control the blush rising up his face. “I thought you picked up a different shift.”

“I did,” Nishinoya grins. “Azumane Asahi-san, can I buy you a coffee with my employee discount?”

Asahi rubs his shoulder, looking away from Nishinoya who is somehow more handsome without a counter between them. “O-okay.”

“Do you have a few minutes to chat, along with the coffee?”

“I do,” Asahi lies. He’ll be skipping one class to sit with Nishinoya, but that strongly feels like a future-Asahi problem right now. “What kind of coffee do you like?”

“Iced americano,” Nishinoya says.

Lap

A collection of my hq ships attemtping to sit in each others' laps or smth~

Everyone is sitting on a couch, where I have no idea but imagine that, and the couch is full. You can think these are happening in the same place but they weren't intended to unless specifically mentioned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hinata, already a flustered mess, pointing at Kageyama's lap: Is- is this seat taken?

Kageyama, with an annoyed look on his face: Of course it is dumbass, I'm sitting here, are you blind or something?!

Hinata, giving up: Oh, okay...

Kageyama, the next morning: HOLY SHIT I FUCKED UP!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tsukki: *walks into the room*

Tadashi: Hi Tsukki, do you need me to give you my seat?

Tsukki: No.

Tadashi: Where are you gon-

Tsukki: *sits in his lap*

Tadashi: *loading*

Tadashi: *loading*

Tadashi: *system shutdown*

Tsukki, under his breath: Oh fuck I think I broke him...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asahi, walking into the room, seeing that the couch is full: Hey can someone please throw me a pillow on the ground to sit on?

Noya, with a flirty tone: No need for that babygurl, got a seat for you right here *gestures to his lap*

Asahi: Absolutely not.

Noya: Naww but why?

Asahi, with tears in his voice: Because I'm scared I'd crush you to death!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kiyoko: *walks into the room, looking for a place to sit*

Tanaka: Hey you can sit in my lap if you want t- *pillow gets thown in face*

Kiyoko: I'd rather stand.

Tanaka: Well at least let me give you my seat! *Stands up*

Kiyoko: I don't need it.

Tanaka: Then I'm going to stand with you!

Kiyoko: *hides her blush*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(okay this one is on a train/subway)

Ikejiri: *gets on a full train/subway*

Ikejiri: *looking for a place to sit when he notices Daichi sitting on the same train*

*cue talk about always bumping into each other*

Ikejiri: Hey umm, my legs kinda hurt, would you mind if I sit in your lap?

Daichi: *processing information*

Daichi: Umm, I guess I wouldn't...

Ikejiri, taking advantage of Daichi's unawareness: Sweet! *sits in his lap getting some stares but mostly noone cares*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(i think I'm out of karasuno ships, if thats what you're here for you can leave)

(I was gonna do Akiteru and Saeko but I couldn't think of anything. Also if I were to do them I might've made Akiteru sit in Saeko's lap but that would break my flow because I'm making my bottoms sit in my tops' laps)

(hollon tryna think of my ships, I don't think I'll be able to do them all)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tendou: *joking* Hey Wakatoshi-babe, can I sit in your lap?

Ushijima: *lays back in his seat opening his legs*

Tendou: Holey pappa-pia!~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(this one makes no sense but bare with me)

Yaku: Hey can I sit in your lap?

Kuroo: No. Wanna sit in my lap?

Yaku: No. *Sits in his lap*

Kenma: ......... What the fuck is wrong with you guys?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(imagine this is in like a world of warcraft/skyrim esque game or smth)

Kenma, sitting in a chair by a dining table in-game: Hurry up Lev, we all need to sit to start the cutscene!

Lev, looking for a seat: Is there even any seats left? Oh look, it's letting me sit in the same one as you are!

Kenma: What-

Lev: *Already triggered the action*

Lev's character: *glitches through Kenma's character*

Kenma: -the fuck?!

Lev: Omg it looks like you're sitting in my lap!

Everyone else in the vc: *laughing/giggling/shipping*

Kenma: God no, we can't have that, I'm standing up!

*cutscene starts*

*everyone dies laughing exept Lev whose too hyped up and Kenma who dies of embarrassment*

(I could've also done smth irl that has smth to do with cats but I liked this idea better, also they give skephalo energy in this)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think thats it for now, I can't rlly think of anything else for my other ships

Hope you enjoyed umm... Bye? Fucking hell grabowski this isn't a youtube video!

Also this took forever to write because I kept putting it off, the very first time I only wrote "Lap" and hoped I'd remember what it was supposed to be later, I mean I did, it's not somethung you forget very fast, but still

Also I've only seen the anime so keep that in mind before you criticize me

[kvaughanarts]

“Aaaand this!” Nishinoya says with a wide smile, “is my amazing boyfriend, Azumane Asahi!” The boy grabbed the other’s (Asahi, Kei figured) arm and tucked himself under it, happily settling himself against the taller mans side. Suddenly the too-big flannel made much more sense.

The taller man flushed red, ears burning crimson, but the cautious grin he sent Nishinoya’s way wasn’t free from the blatant adoration in his eyes. Something about the couple just seemed to click, despite how they appeared at first glance to be polar opposites, and Kei thought they just seemed right for each other (though loathe to admit that fact, holding back a cringe caused by his own thoughts). It was fitting.

[whywoulditho]

azumane asahi being a fashion designer and having golf grandpa aesthetic in his daily life outfits

[fuckingbraingizzards]

Okay so late night thoughts that will be incoherent but whatever

I remember from my Wisdon tutorial in Uni where we cover Judaism, Catholic and Christianity in the first class. Catholic and Christianity branching and originating from Judaism and such

But then the professor that Catholic being Greek(?) and Christianity being Roman(?)

OR the other way around I’m not entirely sure (this was now 20 ish weeks ago) so I was thinking when it came to fandom talk about Percy Jackson and the gods of different mythologies technically are related to The God, Jesus and Judas. (More God than Jesus and Judas as from my understanding those two are more like demigods and messengers for gods will)

I did ask the question on the belief of the Greek gods, the professors respond that the belief of The Creator is that their is one, that there is no continuous cycle of creation (example, our parents were born from their parents, their parents were born from their own parents and so up until Adam and Eve kind of thing) and that having the mulitple gods is personification of an idea. Which ok god point, but technically the gods came from one sole thing. Chaos which is from brief google search and quick reading I’m obviously not surprised where the Big Bang theory came from.

So far we have

Chaos, big bang theory, God from all three previously mentioned

How does this have to do with anything

WELL I was thinking on how Allah, the Buddha are intertwined.

After again VERY BREIF reading of Google. Islam is quite “there is no God but god.” As well with Muhammad being a messenger for him

DOES ANYONE SEE A PARTNER YET??

Obviously you’re currently going to “how the fuck does this correlate to anything Greek mythology related. Well (I have no idea) BUT Greek and Roman mythology are quite intertwined and have similarities that cross over in both (as I’ve seen Apollo is still named Apollo in both sides)

I was thinking, It’s got to be the same with the rest??

THERE IS NO WAY ALL RELIGIONS BELIEVE IN ONE SEPERATE GOD THERE IS NO WAY.

It’s got to be about the same god and same messenger. God and Allah, Jesus and Muhammad.

Further research has been done. Islam is recorded to be the oldest religion in the world but Judaism is the grandparent of Islam…

They have the same prophet Abraham mentioned.

YOU ALL ARE FIGHTING OVER THE SAME GOD THEY JUST HAVE RECORDED DIFFERENT NAMES BECAUSE THE MESSENGERS WERE GETTING ATTACKED

That also being said the messengers also spread different names, maybe Gods plan? Different aliases to have the world as it is because of His plan?

Anyway I’m going to bed my head can’t handle another thought

[vectortobio]

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIND A FIC??

it was a haikyuu fic that i read a few years ago

it was a chatfic that basically had all the teams in and i think the first few chapters were karasuno sending videos of their bus trip to a training camp where they were all singing and just messing around and i just have a vague memory of it

i do remember at one point there was a chapter where they were at the camp and the other teams start talking in the chat about ukai and tanaka went “you got a problem with our COACH?” or something and they all basically replied “no we think he’s really attractive we’re jealous you have an attractive coach” or something

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE it’s all i’ve been thinking about recently and i can’t find it anywhere on ao3 which is where i read it the first time SEND HELP

if anyone has the name or the link id really really appreciate it!!

haikyuu x hogwarts crossover fanfic rec list !!

hello!! i really like haikyuu, and i quite like harry potter, so it makes sense that i like haikyuu x hogwarts fics, doesn’t it? here are some of my favourites ones that i’ve come across!! (o゜▽゜)o☆

be careful, and check tags/warnings before reading!! 

this isn’t in any particular order. 

(i used the little moon phases to represent .5/.25/.75 of a star ( •̀ ω •́ )✧)

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sixth Time's the Charm by tsumekakusu (T) 2,068 words [kyouhaba] --- (aka How to say "I like you" in six different ways)

kyoutani is such a nerd, and we love him for that. oh, right, yahaba’s also a bit stupid at times... he’s very dense. they get together in the end though, so that’s what matters!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love from the Quidditch Bleachers by sunablinks (NR) 5,271 words [sunaosa, bkg sakuatsu] --- In a wizarding world where everything fell into place because Suna Rintarou just wanted to know why everyone hated the Miya twins so much. “Wanna sneak into the pantry later and grab food for a picnic at the Quidditch field tonight?”

this might actually be the first and only sunaosa fic i’ve ever read?? not cause i don’t like ‘em!! and honestly, i might read some more of these after how cute this one was... but anyways, this is such an endearing fic, and they’re so in love, and i just love this!! suna taking care of osamu is really cute :).

⭐⭐⭐🌖 stardust by InkCaviness (G) 1,415 words [kyouhaba] ---  Shigeru first meets Kyoutani during their Herbology class and he watches in fascination as the Hufflepuff with the permanent scowl and broad shoulders carefully handles delicate plants.

it’s very nice, fluffy fluff, what else can i say?? 

⭐⭐⭐🌖 Magicked by HoneyBeeez (T) 8,470 words [kyouhaba] check tags for this one!! --- Yahaba loves all things medicine, so he's basically a kid in a candy store when he's allowed to be an assistant at the Hospital Wing. He loves what he learns, what he does... the only thing that's a little troublesome is the patients, and even then, its only one patient: Kyoutani Kentarou.

oddly humorous?? also quite sad though... the ending fit kyouhaba so well!!

⭐⭐⭐🌘 Blood by darkbluebox (T) 20,215 words, 10/10 chapters [tsukiyama] ---  Words like "Muggle-born" and "Pure-blood" don't mean a lot when you're still a child, but everyone has to grow up sooner or later.

adjdakjdwka, why do tsukiyama work so well for hogwarts au angst??? this hurt me,,,, but also, why are they so dumb?? like come on!! 

⭐⭐⭐🌗 Show A Little Faith by minijhi (G) 13,872 words, 3/3 chapters [kuroken] --- “Why are you sending me a singing Valentine telegram?" Kenma asks, mouth flattened. "It’s six months until Valentine’s Day.” “I bought a dwarf over the summer to use as cupid.” Kuroo says. “I figured he could use some practice.” - Presenting Kenma as the Boy-Who-Lived, whose living becomes a lot more interesting when Ravenclaw Prince Kuroo Tetsurou starts sending him singing telegrams about defeating the Dark Lord.

kenma as the boy who lived is so jdakdjkad?? idk what to say. also, kuroo sending him valentines (not really valentines, but still) is so funny. 

⭐⭐⭐ The Love Potion Of The Century by mago_teung (M) 170,383 words, 45/45 chapters [daisuga, bokuaka, kagehina, tsukiyama, asanoya, iwaoi, kuroken, ushiten] check tags for this one!! ---  "Wait, give me a sec. I have 7 brain cells left." "I bet you 5 galleons professor Takeda and professor Ukai are smashing each other, right now as we speak." "That Akaashi-san doesn't seem like a Ravenclaw at all. I was so sure he was in Slytherin." "Wait, Sugawara is in Slytherin? ... I've been calling him Hufflepuff trash this whole time." "Guys, I just saw that Slytherin kid Tsukishima and the Hufflepuff Yamaguchi making out at Three Bro-hey, stop laughing! I'm serious!" "You think if I turn into an owl I won't have to do the exams?" "That bitch Oikawa got another love letter. Thinks he's the shit..." "Why are you crying? Stop it." "With how often Kuroo goes to the Ravenclaw tower, you would think he was one of them. Kinda sad though, he's stupid." "I'm telling my daddy about this! ... No, that's my father. I'm pretty sure I said daddy." 

this one is certainly odd!! it’s technically part one of a series, but i’ve only read this first one (and the last oneshot/spinoff/oneoff). it’s very... chaotic?? definitely not everyones cup of tea, and in hindsight, i can’t say i loved it that much. i definitely enjoyed it a lot more in the moment. the whole concept is completely stupid (literally everything happends because of a love potion), but if chaos is your thing, you might like this one!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh My! (You didn't know?) by mago_teung (T) 13,977 words [aofuta] --- "I like you! Get it through your thick skull!" ". . . okay?"

spinoff i mentioned above!! honestly, i like this one better than the main fic, haha. it’s very funny and sweet!! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Burning Deep, Burning Bright by jellyryans (ryankellycc), ryankellycc (NR) 28,031 words, 4 works [asanoya, kagehina, daisuga] might want to check tags?

this series is absolutely amazing. asanoya focused, but there’s a kagehina and a daisuga fic too!! it’s such a fun twist of the whole asahi and nishinoya fight that happened early on in haikyuu!! it’s so cool to see it in a harry potter au... not really a hogwarts au though, just a harry potter au in general. 

⭐⭐⭐🌗 As Well As You Know Me by Authoress (E) 8,542 words [daisuga, bkg hinayama, kuroyaku] very smutty, check tags!! --- There's nothing like a Gryffindor v. Slytherin match to get the blood pumping. Well, that is, except angry post-game sex, but Suga's a prefect, he would never instigate something like that, right?

umm... i don’t really like smut?? like, i don’t read a lot of it?? so i can’t say whether or not this is “good smut.” but, i like hogwarts aus!! and i loved the whole bit about house loyalty/pride, it was funny, and made a lot of sense considering actual lore of hogwarts!! 

⭐⭐⭐🌖 woo you by bishounen_curious (G) 755 words [daisuga] ---  Suga snickered. “You really have no idea why I’ve been practically stalking you for a week?”

suga has the confidince i’ll never have, i can only dream... and daichi’s oblivousness to why suga’s been “harrassing,” him is so funny,,, this is really just such a funny fic!! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spellbound by orphan_account (T) 6,847 words [daisuga, bkg kuroken, iwaoi] --- Out of all the people Daichi had to fall for, it had to be a Slytherin. Their two houses were supposed to hate each other. To be fair, he was nothing like the stereotypes preached. He wasn’t snide, slimy or pompous. He was beautiful in an ethereal kind of way. He was almost ghostly pale, all innocent brown eyes and silvery-blonde hair. Sugawara Koushi, the boy who was even sweeter than his name suggested.

daichi being done with his underclassmen is so funny, i can’t!! this fic is definitely really funny, but it’s also just extremely sweet?? huge rec from me!! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐🌗 quidditch gloves, parchment, and custard cream by h_lovely (T) 12,450 words [matsuhana] ---  After class, Matsukawa finds Hanamaki in the tall cushy grass by the lake.

hajdkasdjakd, matsuhana > everything !! i love them so much gahhhh!! look at them!! look!!! and a freaking matsuhana hogwarts au??? ‘course i’m going to love it!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐🌗 snowflakes by arsenicjay (T) 3,622 words [bokuaka] --- Bokuto is a simple wizard with simple needs; a nice date, a little romance, and he's all good to go. Or, Akaashi and Bokuto spend a day in Hogsmeade just before Christmas.

they’re so ahdjakdj??? skrunkly?? little blorbos?? i love this sort of fluff,,, the cultural differences/references were really fun too!! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ don’t let this magic die by canvases (oilpaints) (G) 8,498 words [semishira] --- Shirabu and Semi don’t really get along. By some twist of fate, they wind up sharing a room at the Leaky Cauldron after running away from their respective homes. Both plan on cutting ties as soon as they return to Hogwarts, but cramped rooms have a way of getting even the coldest of people to open up, often in the most unexpected and magical of ways.

i love semishira with, like, my whole heart, and this was so good!! their development- and their banter is written so well!! it’s so funny!! and their dynamic?! chefs kiss. i love this fic so much :’). (if you couldn’t tell by the rating i gave this fic, i have huge bias towards semishira)

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haikyuu at Hogwarts by Killthespare (T) 622,936 words, 5 works, ongoing [daisuga, asanoya, ushiten, kiyoyachi, yakulev, akisae, bokuaka, shoumika, amanai/ennoshita] ---  Pretty much as the title suggests: a Hogwarts!AU with Haikyuu. It's planned for 7 book series so definitely a longer series. This first few can be read out of order with only minor confusion (about as easily as the first few Harry Potter books can) but there is an overall series plot in addition to the individual plots of each story. As of the fourth book, the previous third story should really be read before the fourth or later books.

i really like this series!! the characters are all really well handled!! it unfortunately hasn’t been updated in a little while, but the author says that they’ll be updating dec.18-19, so now would be a great time to get yourself caught up on the series in prepreation for the next chapter!! i will say, the current book is bound to get interesting... 

⭐⭐⭐🌘 in which tsukishima and yamaguchi win ten points for slytherin by deanpendragon (T) 3,990 words [tsukiyama]

very crack-y i’d say. i think what i originally said when i bookmarked this fic sums up my feelings about it quite well: “eeeeeeeee!!???”

(if you couldn’t tell, i really like short, fluff-and-no-plot sort of fics.)

this is shorter than i’d thought it’d be,,, i’ll probably end up continuing this post as i read more haikyuu hogwarts aus, but here are my recs for now!! 

[f4llingstrr]

i would unironically read hundreds of thousands of words-long fics about any and all of these. recommendations would be very appreciated.

pre-relationship bullshit haikyuu teams probably had to put up with before various ships managed to get their shit together

daisuga probably was really annoying with like small/petty jealousy, like a girl would hit on one of them and the other would be standing behind their back making faces about it and mocking it and everyone else on the team just has to put up with it. and then theyre all overly sweet to each other to make up for the petty jealousy or some odd version of "winning them back" after the flirting event and the team is rolling their eyes *so hard*

i think asanoya is so annoying bc nobody can convince Asahi that Noya likes him. Like full stop. Eventually someone pulls him aside and is point blank like "Noya said he has a crush on you ask him out" and Asahi is just like: "Haha he was probably joking" and just leaves the scene. Like the absolute refusal to believe it from Asahi combined with Noya's classic teen boy inability to be sincere means that even after theyve both been told they somehow still havent gotten together??? how long is this going to take???

tsukkiyama probably ruins everyone's week the week before they get together bc one of them *saw* a confession letter stuck into the other's bag and absolutely went (emotionally) off the rails for the days leading up to them discovering it was for them.

I am fully of the camp that iwaoi start dating before they label it/make it official so the whole team is screaming like "PLEASE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT" meanwhile Oikawa is saying "we just went on a few dates and kissed a few times it doesnt mean anything" and Iwa is in the background shouting "yeah I dont wanna be anyone's boyfriend that's lame" and then they wander off to go eat dinner together holding hands and the team is left in frustration because ALL they talk about is how theyre *not* in a relationship.

for bokuaka its mostly just Bokuto pestering every goddamn person he knows for like 4 months asking "do you think Akaashi likes me?" or "do you think he'd say yes if I asked him out?" and then one day making Konoha *snap* when he says "I need to tell you a secret" and the secret is that he has a crush on Akaashi as if nobody had known that

with ushiten I imagine Tendou was probably really obvious with his crush/interest but in like a very casual "not taking myself too seriously" kind of way so he's comfortable openly flirting, and Ushijima, against everyone's expectations, doesnt seem to mind the attention but is still who he is, so the whole team just has to put up with the most INSANE interactions. Like Tendou walks into the locker room and cat calls him and Ushijima just replies with a formal "thank you" and Semi is contemplating slamming his head in a locker. There's like 12 months of this.

okay okay but I think arankita is *very classic* in that Aran compensates for his crush by over-supporting Kita. so like the whole team gets super annoyed bc Aran wont risk disagreeing with him, is always offering to do extra work, is generally just sucking-up really badly and the twins suffer the most for this bc Aran used to just ignore their antics but now he's super annoyingly on them all the time to try and impress Kita

kuroken is a little different. Yaku asks Kuroo every single day if he's asked Kenma out yet. Lev asks Kenma if he has a crush on Kuroo every chance he gets. Fukunaga gives them a wink when they leave practice to walk home together. This is the only pairing in which the team is the irritant pre-relationship and then post-relationship everyone loses interest and moves on.

I'd include kagehina but once again the entire goddamn show is everyone putting up with them flirting so whats the point.

day 5: lighthouse (tags: canon divergence, emotional hurt/comfort, anxiousness)

The boulder in his stomach is familiar. Nishinoya stares into the darkness of his room, with intentional darkness, and the boulder becomes heavier.

It clicks like an instinct built up through several years of volleyball: fear. He can’t remember the last time he was excited to feel this fear.

He knows, rationally, that it was during their Date Tech match, soon after Hinata and Kageyama joined. He felt it when Aone pointed at Asahi before the match. But now, his body betrays him, betrays his training, continuing to feel fear, and continues to worry his brain.

Noya gets up from his corner and leaps towards the front door, his breathing uneven as he opens the door of his room to let in the light of the living room. The owners, still on their sofa and watching their Italian show, turn to him, and the woman says, “good?”

“Good.” Noya says. He’s come across the world, and he’s in a place with nobody, and he’s got money that’s gotten stolen several times. He needs to keep it on himself from now. He needs to be careful with the owner couple too. What if their kindness is only a facade? They must be struggling financially too, if they’re letting in a non-Italian, frugal foreigner who barely speaks their language, or even good enough English.

“Mr. Nishinoya?” She asks.

Shit, Noya thinks. He froze up again. He shakes his head and walks back into his room. He turns on all the switches, uncaring that it turns on the porch light of their house.

He takes a seat on his bed instead. He takes out his phone, and ignoring his instinct to open up Instagram and check everything, he dials to Asahi.

It’s too late for him, cut the call, Nishinoya thinks. But he shakes his head. There’s something wrong with him. He’s scared and freezing up and there’s no Grandpa with him right now. If he’s learnt anything from years of facing his fears, it’s to do something. To attack before the fear can solidify. He must work on this.

When the ringing stops, Asahi’s rough voice answers, “Hello?”

“Asahi-san, I’m afraid.” That’s the worst way to start a conversation, Noya thinks, but he must go on. “I’ve become afraid again.”

“Afraid of what?” Asahi sounds worried, but his voice stays calm, and for a second, Noya is proud of him. “Are you safe, Noya?”

“I am. I’m in the room,” Noya says. “I’ve become scared of everything again. I’m thinking. I’m thinking too much. I don’t know what to do. I hate feeling this. I don’t want to feel this. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.”

This is probably the longest he’s spoken when he’s feeling something bad. He’s not like this. He processes his emotions better than this. He’s Asahi’s rock, the fearless one.

“That’s okay, Noya.” Asahi’s voice changes something akin to his therapist’s. “Did something happen recently?”

“No.” Noya says, then pauses for a moment. He thinks. A pickpocket stole his wallet in the beginning of the week, that was the fourth time this month; Wednesday, he was held at knife-point with three strangers in the bathroom of a cafe; today, the owners raised his weekly rent to almost double, and said he’d have to leave tomorrow if he can’t pay it. He corrects himself, “yeah. A lot.”

“What happened, Noya?”

“You’ll worry,” Noya mumbles into the phone. He lays on his back, on his bed, and stares at the ceiling.

“More than now, when you’re calling... at 4am in the morning?”

Noya sighs. “Yeah.”

There’s silence on the otherside for a minute. Noya thinks maybe Asahi fell asleep again, until his rough voice startles him. “Come back to Japan. Stay with me for a few days.”

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to book a ticket, let alone fly again, Asahi-san.”

“Yuu.” Asahi takes a deep breath. “Nishinoya Yuu, it will be difficult in the beginning. It will be scary, but it will stop being scary the second time.”

“But it’s scary again, Asahi-san.” Noya bites his lower lip, grabbing his blanket until his fists turn white. “It’ll be scary again, and I don’t like it.”

The rapid heartbeat is back again, from when he was a kid, and so are the damn tears in his eyes. He hates crying because he’s scared. Grandpa said crying never solves anything. And here is, crying that he’s scared again to the love of his life.

“Noya? Are you okay?”

“I’m okay,” Noya says, and his body betrays him again. A sob escapes and he turns, bites his pillow to stop anymore from coming. He mumbles into the phone, “I’ll be okay.”

“Nishi, listen to me. This feeling won’t be forever. You won’t be scared forever, Noya.” Asahi’s therapist-voice is pretty assertive and it catches Noya’s attention for long enough. “Are you scared of riding a cycle again?”

Noya chuckles. “No.”

“Of a really strong server?”

“No,” Noya says, now smiling. The boulder in his stomach is lighter at the reminder. There’s a flicker of excitement, thinking of Oikawa’s serve, the burn his forearms felt, the cheers from his teammates. The cheer from Asahi, the ‘Good job, Noya!’ from Daichi.

“See? Some fears can come back, some won’t. You’ll be okay.” Asahi breathes out into the phone, and Noya realises what he’s doing. He’s breathing loud and clear for Noya to copy. “Do you believe me?”

“I do, now.”

“So you’ll come back to Japan for a few weeks, for me?”

Noya takes a deep breath too. He wipes his tears away, wipes the snot on the back of his hand, and breathes out carefully. “Yeah.”

“Good.” Asahi chuckles. “Should I book your tickets?”

“No, Asahi-san, I’ll do it myself.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Noya grins. “You know, Asahi-san, you’re like my lighthouse. Always guiding me towards you.”

“Noya,” Asahi whines, clearly missing the compliment Noya meant it as. “Are you feeling any better?”

“A lot better, thanks to you.”

“Let me know when you’re coming, yeah?”

“Yeah.”
