#fukurodani 2nd years

[calxvace]

put a finger down with karasuno and fukurodani

kageyama having a crush on akaashi isn't really a secret to karasuno but they do not swim about this topic so he thought he was safe during the joint training with fukurodani.

"kageyama quick, fukurodani's setter?"

"Uh smash?"

he fell right into the tease trap. Karasuno 2nd years have now their stomachs on the floor "hey bokuto-san's pal! you open? join us here!" noya invited making kageyama stand up abruptly to escape the hot seat. konoha tagged along with him and sat on the floor, the first thing he noticed was Kageyama trynna escape the scene "hey aren't you joining kageyama-kun?" tobio wanted to answer but his throat betrayed him so there comes tanaka who sat him down just beside akaashi "will appreciate a melon bread later" tanaka whispered as ne gestured noya to start.

"Alrighty folks we're to play pafd!" noya announces as kageyama trynna steal glances of akaashi from his peripheral vision. Konoha picked up the phase as soon as he saw the nod exchanges between the second years of karasuno plus tobio blushing beside their setter.

"keiji can you scooch a little my leg is kinda cramped" "hmph!" adjusting to the space, akaashi bumped to tobio causing the younger to squeal covering his mouth luckily for him keiji seems to be not caught up by it. kageyama can feel it—everyone is subtly watching him and how he acts with his chummy crush on fukorodani's akaashi keiji. "everyone! 30 minutes and we're back to the court!" coach ukai announced after talking to the captains "alright this is just a quick put a finger down"

"losers will buy us drinks after the game! you first narita" noya pointed making sure that his kouhai and keiji will lose with having their turn "put a finger down if you are a setter" narita just rub the back of his neck from receiving glares "haha calm down kageyama-kun"

with keiji saying that it really didn’t calm tobio down, he's even hiding his rouge cheeks and can’t look to his crush's way to give a response "me next! if you are fukurodani's then put it down! hehe" even though they are targetting the two setters it won’t hurt others to put some fingers down, hisashi thought "that's not cool kinnoshita-san!" konoha commented

"okay it’s my turn, let's add some spice" kageyama anxiously gulped at the thought of tanaka really trying to expose him not noticing how keiji is literally observing him

"i've never seen you so worked up on a matter besides volleyball" everyone stopped at keiji's remarks "maybe because he is sitting with his-" "tanaka-san!" "with his favorite setter" tanaka giggles on the sight of kageyama's state "really? then should i sit closer?"

"yes!" the unexpected unison amazed keiji as if it was a volleyball gameplay where everyone is connected including his team mate konoha "woah guys okay, let's continue the game" kagayema was off the earth by now, their knees are touching, he could see keiji without trying so hard to side eye, he could smell him, he saw him smile, he don’t know if it’s imagination but for him keiji smiled at him "put a finger down if you have a crush here inside the whole gym" everyone was eyeing every hand and surprisingly they saw 7 fingers fold

but they all focused on the two, tobio's and keiji's which the both of them folded kageyama was heartbroken of that sight and it’s obvious because how furrowed his eyebrows are keiji noticed it, as a matter of fact everyone noticed it and they just laughed it off because,

"kageyama-kun you're acting cute today" the circle was shocked because did keiji just read their minds? "well you better tell that to your crush" tobio murmured just loud enough for himself to hear "i heard that" keiji chuckles as he glanced away from him.

"oh no its my turn, let's add more spice! put a finger down if that crush is within this circle!" noya laughed as if there's no tomorrow holding his tummy and so the final judgement? tobio's down to 3 fingers while keiji is at 4

"oh wow thank you kageyama for having a crush on me" tanaka teased "it’s not you!" "who might it be? hmm from fukurodani?" just before it could further escalate kageyama shifted the question to akaashi "how about you akaashi-san is it from karasuno?" noya gave out his thumb to kageyama and mouthed good job "i'll keep it as a secret"

"keiji stop acting cool its literally from karasuno bc im not your type its more likely to be-" konoha spoke up to clear something bc he doesn’t want tobio's glares "let's continue the game" keiji interrupted

"here comes your angel ennoshita but not today, put your finger down if you are a first year" and with that they had obvious losers with both kageyama and akaashi folding four fingers "i guess im the one who officiates the loser, then! kageyama please be ready to buy drinks"

konoha smiled sheepishly eyeing akaashi "fold a finger if your name has a letter t" "and that ends our game kageyami buy me pocari!" "mines blue gatorade!" "me too" and all the requests came up "so three gatorades two pocaris, how about you akaashi-san?"

"i dont know yet so im coming with you to choose" konoho saw this coming so he let kageyama lose, surprised as he is, tobio just nods and walked towards the nearest 7/11 it was silent all along until they reached the fridge of drinks "are you not asking me who is it?"

kageyama just avoids his gaze and ended up shrugging "i mean it’s not my business so" "maybe it is, it doesnt hurt to ask" keiji said as he got the rest of the drinks then it was silent again while they pay "excuse me what time is it?" keiji asked the lady at the counter.

"12:59" and there they realized they are going to be late and that means double drills so after getting the change akaashi grabbed kageyama's wrist and dashed off "wait akaashi-san?" holding the bag full of drinks, kageyama still managed to catch up to him—he didnt want keiji to remove his hands to him. in the middle of them running, "it’s you tobio-kun" kageyama could not help it but stop and when keiji saw him he was all red up to his ears "it’s me? why?" tobio still lost in trance catches his breath

"Because it’s you? I don’t know too"

and like that its ready 1:02 and when they arrived it was not the double drill waiting for them but, "so are you guys together now?" "did you hold hands?" "ohh maybe they kissed" keiji just laughed it off but did not deny because it’s all true

he kissed tobio, they are now together and they held hands running back to the gym "im gonna let you off this time, a gift from me to the new lovebirds, ahhh youth, now go to your teams we're starting again" ukai announced.

[touchlikethesun]

i do think that the 3rd years must feel some pressure to be more responsible around the 2nd and 1st years, not to an insane degree but like it is there, and so it's really really nice when there's a scene with just them joking around with each other and being silly like they're high school boys they're kidsss they're so silly they're so funny suga's love language is screaming and violence daichi's kags impression is spot on i love them i love them a lot

A Tall Manager -

Some teams and how they would be with a tall (betwen 175 to 180cm) beautiful manager.

The teams include: Karasuno, Aoba Johsai/Seijoh, Shiratorizawa and Fukurodani.

Note: This is another random idea i had and had a beautiful, amazing friend choose the teams for me :)) this was written at 3am and its rushed, I'm sorry.

Might have some grammatical mistakes or mispellings, sorry for those- LONG POST!

Pronouns: You, implied as female.

Karasuno (Height: 177cm) -

You're a 1st year, in Class 5.

Which also means you share a class with the one and only, Yachi Hitoka.

You both first talk was due to a project you two needed to do together and she was utterly scared about your height.

But you quickly surprised her with a friendly nature, almost like an older sister. Yachi grew close to you rather fast.

So it was no surprise when she asked you to come with her to the school gym, after class.

"Hum? Why, are you going to train for something?"

"NO, I TOLD A BEAUTY THAT I WOULD JOIN HER CLUB ACCIDENTALLY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, PLEASE (Y/N)!"

"A beauty? what..."

Despite that, you decided to follow her anyways.

Arriving at the gym, it was clear both you and Yachi gained the attention of almost all boys in the gym, which was somewhat understandable, since we have this 149cm cute girl and 177cm pretty girl.

Kiyoko was the first to walk towards you both, greeting Yachi before going to you with a friendly welcoming and asking if you were to join as a third manager. Now you understand how Yachi couldn't say no.

Daichi, Suga and Asahi were the next to introduce. They all were really sweet to you, although Suga were jokingly disappointed at you being taller than him while being a 1st year, which made you laugh a bit.

Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita were the next ones, all also very kind, but in a more quieter way. Kinoshite also joked a bit, asking what you did to get so tall, since you were taller than him. His only answer was a slap at the back of his head by Ennoshita.

Nishinoya and Tanaka, were... something else. When you first introduced yourself, they were both dead silent, almost as stones statues, that also scared the other 2nd years, before tears appeared in their eyes. They were just happy of having 3 different managers. You could also hear Tanaka commenting something about "School's Beauty" and "Nekoma", but you weren't too sure.

Hinata and Yamaguchi were both stunned by you, a small blush in their faces while you looked at both of them with a bright smile. Hinata started jumping up and down, greeting you and commenting about your height in a non-malicious way, to which you tried to answer truthfully. As for Yamaguchi, he let out a small compliment, shocking himself, but your only response was a compliment about his freckles.

Tsukishima and Kageyama were... Indifferent. Of course, Kageyama was surprised about your height for some time since you were almost his height, but it quickly drew away. Tsukishima knew about you, since you were in a College Prep Class as well, so he somewhat respected you, but he really didn't care about your height or anything.

After that day, you were now officially a Manager for the Crows. And, even though you were almost the same height or taller than most of them, they were still protective of you, just like they were towards the other 2 managers.

But, to be honest, you wouldn't have it any other way.

Aoba Johsai/Seijoh (Height: 179cm) -

You were a 2nd Year, in Class 6.

You sit right beside the sweet Libero for the Volleyball Team, Shinji Watari.

He was pretty surprised about your height, he wasn't short in anyway, being 171cm, but he could feel shorter beside your 179cm self.

You both were "seatmates" since the first day of 2nd year, and just clicked as friends.

After the volleyball team's practice match against Karasuno, Shinji constantly heard his captain commenting something about Karasuno's Manager and Seijoh's Lack of one.

So, one day, while both of you were quietly eating during lunch, he asked you the infamous question;

"(Y/N)-chan, do you have a club yet?"

"Hum? No, my last club was full this time."

"Would you like to join our club as a manager?"

To say you were surprised was an understatement, but you still agreed about it.

After school, you found yourself a bit nervous, you knew their volleyball team was strong and a powerhouse, so a small wave of anxiety filled you but Shinji was quick to calm down your nerves.

Arriving at the Gym, you took quick notice or the spacious place and all the players around, who seemed to be doing their own things.

The coaches already knew why you were there for, so he called out all of his team players, who were quick to notice the pretty girl standing besides their Libero.

The Third Years all had different reactions, and it kinda shocked you: Oikawa was the first one, greeting you with a sweet smile and also a wink, that took you by surprise, but a ball on his head was enough to make him drop the "flirtatious boy" act. Iwaizumi was the next one, the one who gave you a proper welcoming, glaring down at his captain. Matsukawa and Hanamaki, however, instead of introducing themselves first, their first reaction was compare you and the Ace height, while holding a bit of laugh, this making Iwaizumi angry and you a bit surprised.

Yahaba was another one who tried to flirt, but just looking at your sweet smile was enough to make the boy weak and stutter a bit before recovering his posture.

Kyotani completely ignored you, at first, but was forced by a certain Setter (read: Yahaba) to be kind and introduce himself. However, instead of the introduction, his first reaction was to ask how did you get this tall, boy was genuinely curious. Also, you were 0.2cm taller than him, he was insistent to know the "truth".

The First Year also had unique reactions: While Kindaichi was bit red on his face while staring at you, Kunimi were just staring uninterested and kinda tired from all his training, that didn't stop him from being kind to you when you first introduced yourself.

Needless to say, they all accepted you pretty fast as they first manager. Iwaizumi was quick to teach you how to throw a ball at your captain's head. Matsukawa and Hanamaki were also quick to put you in their group chat, where they would post random memes.

Now its a routine for you, Shinji and the other two 2nd years to have lunch together.

Also, the next time Seijoh went against Karasuno, Oikawa was fast to brag about you, as their manager, to his precious kouhai, who was utterly confused about the situation.

Shiratorizawa (Height: 175cm) -

You were a 2nd year, in class 5.

Now this one is a bit different, you and Taichi were close friends before High School, meeting each other in middle school and it kinda just clicked as best friends.

This one, instead of Taichi calling you, you were the one to initiate the conversation. The main problem was the coach, who highly believed you would be a distraction for the boys.

It took some while to convince the coach, to even have the thought of giving you a chance, but seeing how some of them were alreayd distracting themselves with filling bottles and other stuff, instead of training was enough to make him agree.

So, one day, after school you found yourself standing on the doors, staring a bit dreamily around the gym and noticing the team players.

Look, you aren't short in the slightest, but being around this team makes you feel tiny. Their shortest members are around 174cm, for god's sake.

Taichi was the first one to notice you, jogging, mid training, to talk to you, and this quickly caught the attention of his teammates.

"Could this be? Taichi's girlfriend?~"

"Tendou, I don't think we should be meddling with our kouhai's love life."

"Are you telling me you aren't also curious Semi-Semi?"

"..."

Be glad the Coach was busy that time.

Anyway, while the third years talked like you weren't there, Taichi was quick to introduce you to his teammates.

First person you met was Goshiki, he seemed a bit nervous and serious around you, but still did a fast introduction and talking about how he was going to be Shiratorizawa's Next Ace, to which you just smiled brightly and agreed with him. Kai and Yusho, the next ones, were a bit in the back, but you still greeted both of them in a friendly manner, making a small blue appear at their face.

Shirabu, seemed a bit annoyed since you were 0.2cm taller than him, but was quickly subdued since you were really friendly to him. He seemed indifferent, but having someone sweet yet not overwhelming was good for his soul.

Then, you get the 3rd years. Hayato was the first upperclasmen to greet you, making a small joke about you being taller to him, which made you giggle a bit. Reon were also really sweet with you and promised to help you around the gym whenever needed, although you couldn't take his offer.

Semi was a bit more quiet about it, but he was glad to have a manager to help with certain 'trivial' things, since he was one of the main 'workers' there. If you like music, he would be quick to recommend multiple songs for your playlist.

Tendou was the sweetest one, instead of just a normal greeting, he would go directly for a quick hug; If you were uncomfortable with the situation, he would be quick to break from the hug and apologize, giving a proper introduction. If you were to return his hug, you are now officially adopted by him, that's it.

Ushijima was a bit more complicated. While he was staring you down, he introduced himself and welcoming you to the team officially. He seemed a bit blunt, but you were quick to notice that this wasn't in a malicious way. So you took his encouragement and tips to heart whenever doing your managerial work.

In all fairness, this team would act like they didn't need a manager first but with you there, their tactics were more calculated and they stuff was more organized, so they were pretty happy with you there.

Also, when you first met Oikawa, he was exteemely annoyed at the fact that Shiratorizawa had a manager before him. Ushijima was quick to throw his famous infamous catchphrase, annoying the setter even more.

Fukurodani (Height: 180cm) -

You are a first year, but this time, you didn't share class with anyone else on the team.

You trial as Manager was one of an accident.

You were walking around the schoolz trying to evade as many people as possible, you accidentally bumped into one of the volleyball managers, who seemed to be in a hurry, with you both falling to the ground.

Before you could even say anything, she quickly got up and apologize, picking up some papers she scattered around and then running away. What she failed to notice was one last paper laying beside you.

"Volleyball Trial Manager Sheet".

While in class now, you stared at the paper, a bit curious about it. You knew the volleyball team had alreayd 2 managers, so they wouldn't really need another one right? But you also remembered that they were both 3rd years and this was their last year, what if the team doesn't have another manager?

These thought plagued in your mind for the entire day and took one of your parents to convince you to finally join it.

The next day, you decided to join during morning practice, rapidly noticing they were in a rally, so you just stayed at the door, trying not to disturb the team. But a hand on your shoulder made you turn around, noticing the Coach with a small smile.

He then entered the gym, clapling to get his students attention, which was a success but their attention was fast towards you. You introduced yourself kinda nervous about the sittuation but still holding your place.

Yukie and Kaori were the first to go to you. They were really happy to have another manager with them, and kept complimenting your height, which made you a bit bashed.

The first years were a bit in shock about your height. Anahori was a bit intimated but curious, but he also hold onto his comments to himself, scared that it could offend you in any way, to which you quickly denied, saying you didn't mind. Onaga was also surprised, he didn't have to look down too much to talk to you and that was a relief for his neck. He was also happy you didn't mess his name like his classmates.

Komi and Konoha were a bit in shock, their new manager was taller than them in unique levels, but they were really gentle with their greetings even joking a bit about stealing your height to play.

Sarukui was one of the calm ones, he was kinda surprised about looking at you in the eyes without bending his neck, but nonetheless he was happy about having another manager happy. He was also grateful about you not commenting on his mouth unnecessarily, that has happened way too much.

Washio was somewhat indifferent about it. He was surprised a bit but didn't have anything to comment much, since he knew height was something uncontrollable. As being a manager, he was glad to see the team would have someone trustworthy as their manager for two more years when the other 2 graduates.

Now, here comes the complicated part. Bokuto for you was an enigma, he was blunt about his question and commentaries about your height, but you knew there was no ill intent in his words. But after it cooled down, he was fast to ask you about volleyball and what you knew.

When you first found out about his Emo Modd, you were taken aback, since how could someone lively be so quiet?

Akasshi, the sweet boy he is, thanked you a lot almost daily, since your praises were quick to take Bokuto out of his Emo Mode, thus taking a lot of stress out of him. He was also the most helpful one, he would always take the boxes from you hand, yadda, yadda.

Overall, Fukurodani were pretty shocked about your height but these sweet boys were nothing but sweet.

Also, Bokuto bragged about you being a Manager to his cat friend, who at first thought was a lie but was quickly shut off by your tall stature cheering for Bokuto.

In Another Life BokuAka fan squeal

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters nor did I write the original book. This is just a fan squeal because the original made me cry so hard.

Akaashi stood on a pavement and looked up at the starry night sky. A few steps in front of him was a figure of a male taller than him. It was too dark to see the figure’s face.

“I found you,” he said.

Before Akaashi could react he jolted upwards in his bed.

“Another dream,” he mumbled to himself.

Akaashi had been having these weird dreams about snow, the hospital, and that person lately. The person always said these weird phrases like “I found you” or “you’re beautiful”.

Akaashi’s middle school friends hinted that maybe Akaashi was having dreams about his past life. Akaashi didn’t believe that.

Akaashi got out of bed and got ready for school. He couldn’t risk being late on his first day of high school because he was thinking about a mere dream.

Sighing, Akaashi grabbed his book bag, already organized and ready for his first day, and other other important school supplies. He pulled on his grey Fukurodani uniform and straightened his blue tie.

————————————————————————

After school, Akaashi made his way to the gym where the boys volleyball team was having tryouts.

As Akaashi stepped into the gym, he noticed the 2nd and 3rd years warming up and the rookies, like him, stretching on the sides of the court.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! Look it’s another rookie!” a loud team member shouted as he spotted Akaashi.

Akaashi spun his head to find the person who had said it.

A tall boy with black and white hair wearing a Fukurodani boys volleyball club t-shirt stood a couple metres away from Akaashi.

The boy seemed familiar. For a second Akaashi thought that the boy was the same boy from his dreams but that was impossible. Akaashi had never met this boy, so why would he be dreaming of him?

Akaashi thought for a second that he’d been thinking so long that the boy would think he was ignoring him.

But the energetic boy was still happily waving at Akaashi. Akaashi gave a small wave and a slight smile back to him.

“I’m Bokuto Koutarou. I’m Fukurodani’s ace.” the boy said, stepping closer to Akaashi so that he didn’t need to yell to communicate with him.

“Nice to meet you Bokuto-san,” Akaashi answered, “My name is Akaashi Keiji.”

“That name seems familiar,” Bokuto blurted out.

Akaashi had been thinking the same thing about Bokuto. How strange.

Akaashi brushed it off, “Maybe you’ve met someone with a similar name.”

“Yeah. Probably,” Bokuto agreed.

————————————————————————

Over the next few days, while Akaashi was waiting for the team list to come out, Bokuto would keep in contact with Akaashi.

Occasionally visiting his class and texting Akaashi on a regular basis.

One day as Akaashi was walking to class he spotted Bokuto.

“Akaashi!” Bokuto shouted to his friend.

Akaashi smiled in acknowledgement, “Hello, Bokuto-san.”

“The team list has been posted! You’re playing as our setter!” Bokuto yelled excitedly.

Akaashi’s eyes widened.

“Really?” he asked, his voice filled with surprise, “I’m glad to be on a team with you.”

“Me too!” Bokuto said.

————————————————————————

Over the next few months, Akaashi grew to set often to Bokuto.

As Winter approached, Akaashi felt as though something was going to happen. He didn’t know what and why he felt that way though.

One day after school, Akaashi stepped out of the gym with Bokuto to find it was snowing.

“Akaashi?” Bokuto asked, “Why are you crying?”

“I’m not,” Akaashi answered.

But his hand quickly went to touch his cheeks to feel wet tears streaming down his face.

“I don’t know why,” Akaashi said.

He suddenly saw something in his mind that had never happened before. Him and Bokuto standing in front of a window and watching the snow. They both looked slightly older.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Bokuto shiver.

“Are you cold, Bokuto-san?” Akaashi asked.

“A little,” Bokuto replied.

Akaashi took off his burgundy coloured scarf and handed it to Bokuto.

“Here,” Akaashi said, “You can wear my scarf and we’ll go to my house. It’s closer.”

Bokuto nodded, accepting the scarf, “Thanks Akaashi.”

When they got to Akaashi’s house, he put on a movie called Cloud Atlas and sat together on the couch with a baby blue blanket covering them.

After they finished the movie, Bokuto said, “I like the thought of knowing there’s another life after we die.”

At the mention of reincarnation, Akaashi remembered his dreams and the things his middle school friends told him.

“Bokuto-san,” Akaashi started softly.

“Hm?” Bokuto asked in confusion.

“I think I knew you in my past life,” Akaashi said.

Bokuto was surprised for a second but recovered quickly.

“I think so too.”

“Huh?” Akaashi was taken aback at Bokuto’s response.

“I said I think so too,” Bokuto repeated, “I have these dreams and you’re always in them but what I dreamed of never happened in real life.”

“Me too,” Akaashi started to tear up, “Me too, Bokuto.”

“I found you, Akaashi.”

“Yes Bokuto, you found me.”

————————————————————————

That night Akaashi dreamed that he was looking up at a starry sky. Bokuto stood beside him.

But it didn’t look like Bokuto. He had his hair down and looked pale and sick.

“Bokuto-san?” Akaashi called out to him.

Bokuto turned and smiled at Akaashi. He noticed that he was clutching the burgundy scarf tightly in his hands.

“I told you we’d meet in another life,” Bokuto’s now weak voice said.

The scene changed and Akaashi’s dream took him to outside a hospital. It was cold and snowing. Akaashi was wearing his burgundy scarf.

“Bokuto-san?” Akaashi tried to find Bokuto.

But Bokuto was no longer there. Instead he was replaced by a cold snow.

Akaashi woke up with a jolt.

“In another life..” Akaashi mumbled the words Bokuto had said in his dream.

“This is the other life,” Akaashi said, trying to hold down his tears as more memories of Bokuto from his past life flooded his mind.

Akaashi couldn’t bear it anymore when the memory of Bokuto’s pale and lifeless body in the hospital flashed across his brain. The tears spilled out of Akaashi’s eyes.

“You found me, Koutarou. You found me in the other life.”

[popuptent1]

Sooo i just finished reading the kamokedai match and i need to express the thousand emotions going through my head rn (rant)

WARNING: VERY HEAVY SPOILERS and a BUNCH OF YELLING AND RANTING

if you dont wanna get yelled at i suggest you ignore this post :)

yes yes I know im VERY late to the party and that this manga ended years ago but i just finished reading this so lemme just get it outta my system and ill be on my way

First of all WHAT THE HECC FURUDATE WHY U GOTTA DO US LIKE THAT

they rlly made it so that hinata got sick at the worst possible time huh

like i get it, its to build even more tension but they didnt have to do that i mean cmon my heart was beating stupidly fast while reading that. Takeda even made a whole like five page speech to hinata which is what made us readers all go "oh ye we're losing this match arent we"

And they even made tsukki have to go on the bench cause of his leg becuase why not rub more salt into the wound amiright?

Anyways after the out of pocket plot twist where hinata goes to the hospital it not much of a suprise that kamokedai won but it still hurt ToT.

Yes, i actually thought they had a chance of winning ok? i get that kamokedai is much better than karasuno but still. they couldve won ;(

and then out of nowhere ITACHIYAMA LOST??!!! like what the actual flic flac??!! bro is hitting us with 50 different plot twists at once. First hinata get a fever, then tsukki also goes outta action, then they lose the match, then itachiyama also loses the match WHYYYYYY

i was not mentally prepared for this and was so looking forward to seeing sakusa and the libero whos name i forgot play against fukurodani in the finals but NOPE I GUESS WE AINT GETTING THAT TODAY

Now onto the MAIN REASON I AM TYPING THIS (yes im just warming up here folks)

I am a HUGE fukurodani fan they will always be my #1 favourite team

i thought we were gonna see the semi final and finals matches after karasuno lost but NOPE they just skipped those and was like TIMESKIP TIME WHO CARES ABOUT FUKURODANI :D

(i havent read the timeskip yet since, apart from bokuto, none of my faves are playing volleyball)

so naturally, i turned towards google to see if they do win the nationals

I WAS SO CERTAIN FUKURODANI WERE GONNA WIN THE NATIONALS YOU HAVE NO IDEA I PUT MY HEART ON THE LINE AND WAS 100% SURE THAT THEY WERE GONNA WIN EM ALL YK WHY??

DO

YOU

WANT

TO

KNOW

WHY

BECAUSE FURUDATE MADE IT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE REALLY DESTINED TO WIN THE WHOLE DAM THING

SO WHEN THEY LOST TO SOME RANDOM NOBODY SCHOOL THAT WE'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF AND DOESNT HAVE ANY BACKGROUND AT ALL ACTUALLY KILLED ME SO BAD

they purposely got our hopes up and made us think that fukurodani were gonna be the ones to win (FUKURODANI WERE THE PROTAGONISTS OF THE WORLD, not karasuno!)

i fell for the trap, hook line and sinker 😭😭😭

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

seriously i dont get why furudate couldnt have just made fukurodani win instead?? everyone would be happy about that, and its not like its unrealistic, they're an amazing team, as shown multiple times in the manga!!!

GRRRrrrrr i am angry and sad and mad and depressed and my heart hurts and i feel like screaming into my pillow again

but i feel bad for being so negative in this post so i will end it on a (sorta) positive note for those who actually read that far into this rant lol

THIS ENDING OF FUKURODANI ACTUALLY MADE ME DIE (out of happiness this time)

they arent that depressed about losing bc they know that 2nd in the WHOLE OF JAPAN is still an AMAZING FEAT and that if they werent on the same team, then they wouldnt have gotten that far

konoha says hes grateful and considers himself super lucky that they were all on the same team (and specifically that bokuto was on the team since he's one of the nation's top aces)

and wow thats so amazing i just cant

MY EMOTIONS AHHH

anyways sorry for yelling to you so much, i just had to get this outta my system

The manga was GREAT and i enjoyed reading it so much haikyuu is my favourite anime and im so so glad i stumbled upon it!!! i seriously cant wait for this to get animated

drink water and i wish you happy tumblr scrolling 👍👍👍

Digital Portfolio Entry #2 - Bokuto Kotaro

Furudate created a character that nobody would be able to forget or dislike, and this character’s name is Bokuto Kotaro. Bokuto is a 3rd year student who goes to Fukurodani Academy, and is the volleyball team captain as well as their ace. Bokuto is a bundle of joy, celebrating every good spike he hits, and cheering for his team mates. In season 2 of Haikyuu, Takeda, the coach of Karasuno, even states that despite Bokuto being on the opposite team, that they all couldn’t help cheer for him. Most side characters that aren’t following the protagonist every step of the way can be sometimes forgotten, but Bokuto isn’t one of them.

Bokuto is able to stand out from the crowd, not because of his looks, but because of his personality. He is able to be distinct from the 100 different characters Furudate has given us because of something he goes through, titled an “emo mode” which his teammates had given it. This basically means that Bokuto gets pretty dejected during the game, and isn’t able to participate with spiking, receiving, blocking. How does one get into such mode, it’s usually because of something small, such as getting blocked, or the game not going as he planned. 

Even though it may be as small as not being able to compete in the main arena, this means a lot to Bokuto and in order to get him back up and running, Akaashi, the 2nd year vice-captain, does his magic and manages to get him up again. 

Despite being the captain, and also one of the top 5 aces in Japan, his team isn’t a one man show, in fact, it's much the opposite. His teammates are the ones to guide him along. I enjoyed how Furudate wrote a character such as Bokuto, as it’s very easy to fall into the troupe of a “one man team” for someone who is as talented as Bokuto is. Fukurodani itself was a powerful and skillful team without Bokuto, being able to compete against the top schools, but with Bokuto, they are able to beat them. 

Bokuto’s character is so pure, wanting the best for everybody. His relationship with Akaashi just makes it even better. Akaashi, despite being a year younger than him, took up the task of keeping Bokuto in check. The dynamic of the friendship is something that everybody remembers, because there isn’t a functioning Bokuto without Akaashi.

HQ characters as benders headcanons that made it into my fic.

Ok, so for this fic idea I decided to outline which characters (and side characters) would be certain kinds of benders. So here is my listing of what kind of bender each character is going to be in my particular story. I’ve seen a lot  of different people’s takes on this, but this is what works best for me in the story. 

Airbenders:

Hinata

Bokuto

Yachi

All of Kamomedai (if I decide to add them in later) 

Waterbenders:

Suga

Kiyoko

Tsukishima

Akaashi

Rest of Fukurodani (When they pop up)

Earthbenders:

Iwaizumi

Daichi

Asahi

Tendo

Kyotani

Yaku 

Watari

Ukai

All of Dateko (wall of Ba Sing Se)

All of Nohebi (Dai Li)

Firebenders:

Kageyama

Atsumu

Osamu

Oikawa

Kenma

Kuroo

Ushijima

Kunimi

Kindaichi

Goshiki

Lev

Aran

Rest of Nekoma (white lotus stand in)

Rest of Shiratorizawa (elite firebenders)

Non-benders:

Nishinoya

Tanaka

Sakusa

Yamaguchi

Makki

Mattsun

Takeda

Kita

Rest of Inarizaki (soldiers under Kita)

Krsn 2nd years (Non-bending warriors)

except Ennoshita, he’s with Daichi’s gang

This list is subject to change for both story reasons and sometimes I just feel like changing things. In any case, here it is. I’ll probably be posting some art soon, so that’ll be fun.

[fvkvrodani]

koutarou's wrestler sister visiting him backstage after fukurodani's nationals' final match, carrying the wrestling championship belt inside a bag. koutarou breaking down over the loss against the other team & his sister comforting him, & even tho there arent any people around in the corridor they are in, she still uses her body as a shield—holding him very close to her, back to the door leading to the corridor.

koutarou feeling such hopelessness bc this is his final year w the fukurodani volleyball team. he was their captain, he was The One they all depended on... he was there for all the losses & wins & everything in between—this was his final year. this was the majority of the team's final year in the nationals. in the volleyball club... & they came 2nd place.

& as not only a family member—his very own sister that raised him—but also as someone who has been where koutarou is... his sister understands him so well. she understands his state of mind & why he broke down away from everyone; she has been there before. she still finds herself in that same state.

so koutarou cries in her arms. he breaks down where no one but her can see. he shows her the vulnerability—the insecurity, the anger at himself, the everything—he very rarely displays in front of anyone outside of his own family. & his sister holds him through it all.

when he finally calms down, eyes puffy & red, she tells him the story of how she became the wrestling champion of the promotion ring she works in. she hands him the belt, lets him hold it & feel every groove of the gold embedded within the leather. its his favourite story (so to speak) despite knowing all of it because hes been there for all of her losses & wins & everything in between—

just. a moment of solitude, of solitary between two siblings in an empty corridor.

[loveephia]

you as inarizaki's beautiful manager..

↳ nekoma ver. | shiratorizawa ver.

fukurodani ver. | aoba johsai ver.

- inarizaki literally holds the title of being the 2nd strongest vb team in the entire nation

- if that doesn't scare you, IDK ANYMORe

- you could trip, and they'd probably snicker at you 😭😭

- anyway, you kinda just joined the team so that you have something to add to your resumé

- everyone is thrilled

- you know some of the players since they're quite popular

- kita is so handsome

- suna just has this deadpan expression on his face. scary.

- "i'm sure you already know who i am." atsumu, no

- "hey, m'osamu." at least he had the decency to humbly introduce himself, unlike his twin

- aran is an absolute sweetheart

- you're one of the very few people he respects on this team.

- ren also had a deadpan expression, but he did nod at you, so that's something

- kita is so handsome

- AKAGI WELCOMED YOU WITH OPEN ARMS

- you are now bffls aka best friends for life 🤞🤞

- ginjima thinks you're brave for managing such a fiery team, so you've automatically earned his respect

- riseki wants to talk to you, but you're so pretty that he's afraid he'll mess up his own sentences 😭

- kosaku gives you two thumbs up of encouragement because this year is going to be hectic for you

- kita is so handsome

- practice starts, and you're still learning the reigns, not really speaking all that much since you're quick introduction a while ago

- you're drying their bibs, taking down notes for when's their next practice match, refilling water bottles

- ya know, all that stuff

- why are there so many STRAYS

- you swear you're getting some sort of arthritis from the number of times you had to bend down and pick up a ball

- yeah, so as it turns out, the 2nd years were doing this on purpose

- they wanted to talk to you 😔

- EVEN SUNA

- MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SO MYSTERIOUS AND PRETTY THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING THIS!!

- one of these strays actually happened to hit you in the face

- courtesy of atsumu 🙂

- osamu has waited for this moment all of his life

- (for atsumu to look like a bumbling fool in front of a pretty girl)

- that's one thing crossed off of his bucket list, that's for sure

- of course, with atsumu's enormous amount of pride, he blames it on you

- "WHY WERE YOU JUST STANDIN' THERE?!" in your defence, you were literally on the sidelines reading about the rules of volleyball. how was any of this your fault??

- kita gives him a sharp glare, almost as if he's scolding him, and what happens next is like magic

- he managed to get THE atsumu miya to quietly mumble a "sorry." TO YOU.

- and so you continue on with your day!!

- you didn't scold him

- now me personally,

- joking

- practice is finally over, and it's dark out

- you usually walk home as soon as school is over, but since you stayed behind a couple of hours helping out the team, you're sceptical of walking alone

- kita, sensing your uneasiness, offers to walk with you

- you love him so much you just want to bite his cheeks cuteness aggression

- you oblige, and it just so happens that the miya twins are heading the same way you are!!

- suna and aran see them and catch up

- "don't you live all the way in the other neighborho—?"

- "shut up, suna—!"

- so, now you're walking home with five bodyguards!! which was literally just what you needed

- they make a quick stop at a convenience store, and atsumu buys you a popsicle

- "consider it as an.." come on 'tsumu SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE

- "apology fer hitting you earlier."

- you smile, accepting the peace offering. "thank you."

- YOU SMILED.

- FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER TODAY.

- atsumu pretty much froze on the spot there, literally taken aback from how pretty your smile is

- dude, you got even the other boys staring at you

- you think it's a bit creepy, though.

- "oi, knock it off. stop staring at me."

- kita clears his throat and looks away from you because this time, he thought you were beautiful

- once you're finally home, you bid the others goodbye and flop onto your bed already looking forward to tomorrow's practice

The real reason Bokuto doesn't like Sakusa Kiyoomi is because he keeps on asking Akaashi to transfer to Itachiyama.

notes:

— dark mode is suna!! excuse the low quality one !! i didnt realize the edit made it too pixelated.

— y/n & hana were from fukurodani! they met osamu in college. but knew of the miya twins in high school because they used to have friends who were fans of the twins.

— mattsun & suna just met on twitter during suna's 2nd year and got along super well super fast (totally not because suna talked shit about other MBs he knew.)

— i thought i wanted yachi to make it!! she's in the groupchat because she's kana's friend (kana brought her there) but she's not very close with everyone.

[shinwoo]

from everything to nothing — [akaashi keiji]

♤ is for @/tetsvhoe's "please don't say you love me" collab ♤ assumed hs timeline, fukurodani 2nd year, classmates ♤ a/n: this is a repost from my old writing blog (kodzukoi) - with major edits ♤ wc:

your first mistake was to think you could get close to perfection, to fall in love with aphrodite’s champion.

it was as if the gods were mocking you, the way akaashi was dangled in front of you and pulled back the moment you got too close. but you steeled yourself, pushing through the once invulnerable barrier that separated you from him.

“hi, i’m y/n. you’re akaashi keiji, right?”

“i am.”

his voice was smooth, soft. the words slid off his tongue with ease as his steady blue-green eyes focused on you.

“it’s nice to meet you.”

“likewise.”

a moment of awkward silence. you reached out your hand.

"do you want to be friends?"

he took it.

"sure."

akaashi keiji is softspoken but not quiet: you learned this as you spent more time with him, studying in cafes together, supporting him at his games. but as the days became weeks and weeks became months did you anticipate his texts and calls a little more, your heart skip a beat when he locked eyes with you from the court and smiled, the heat rise to your face when he would softly flick your forehead and correct a problem in the homework you were working on together.

there was a closeness between the two of you, an intimacy so great that it made your chest pang, the butterflies soaring from your stomach to your heart. you wondered if he felt the same, or anything at all.

`

"you should really make more friends you know... and your team doesn't count."

"i have you," akaashi counters, "and that's more than enough for me."

there's a pause in your step. and you didn't know whether to laugh and hug him or scold him. he called you enough. he said you were more than enough. and honestly, that was enough for you.

akaashi turns back, a quizzical look on his face. "is something the matter? did you forget your books again?"

"no," you grumble, fighting the smile that threatened to break out over your face, "just keep going."

"do you want to stop at the convenience store then? for some snacks?"

the smile wins.

"yes, you go, i'll wait outside."

he nods, "i won't be long."

you hum, parking yourself at the convenience storefront. taking off your backpack, you check to make sure you really didn't forget your books.

"is that your boyfriend?"

the question catches you by surprise. the girl in front of you looked innocent enough, with her bright doe eyes and hands clasped behind her back.

"excuse me?"

"him," she says, her eyes throwing a glance at akaashi through the glass window, "he's totally my type but he was with you, so i was wondering if the two of you were dating..."

"oh," you went quiet, debating whether to answer her honestly, "no.. he's not my boyfriend."

you don't know why you didn't just lie.

"oh, really? okay, thanks!"

she runs inside the store, trying to catch akaashi's attention, and all you could do was watch. watch how she clings to his arm, throwing all of her appeal at him at once. watch as akaashi smiles politely at her. watch as he accepts her phone number. watch as she promises to text him later that night. watch as akaashi waves her goodbye. all you could do was watch.

the girl skips past you, a wide smile on her face. akaashi follows suit, stopping beside you. he hands you your usual and bites into his, continuing on.

your steps are slow, smaller and squeezed together, as you shuffle your way to him. and you can't help but feel frustrated as akaashi turns around with a wide smile.

"i think," he says, "i just made a friend," like it just dawned on him.

you smile as much a smile as you could muster, "that's nice." shaking the bitter thoughts from your mind, you try for a more genuine smile, "i'm proud of you, keiji."

he blinks, "'keiji'?"

"ah, sorry... it slipped."

smiling, keiji shakes his head, "no, it's okay. it should've been like this sooner."

your heart soars again.

`

you: wanna meet at the usual? ✓✓

keiji: i can't, sorry. i'm meeting up with amane today. ✓✓

you: oh ok, have fun ✓✓

keiji: i will, thanks. ✓✓

you set your phone down, sighing. it's been like this for a while now. you asking and him turning you down. not maliciously though, never maliciously. you knew that, but...

your phone vibrates again.

keiji: let's hang out tomorrow? ✓✓

you can feel your heart clench, a smile curving the corners of your mouth.

you: yeah, okay ✓✓

keiji: :) ✓✓

you had hope.

`

but as the days became weeks and the weeks became months, amane and keiji started to meet much more often. and as months became longer months and longer months became years, they started to date. you don't know who asked who, and you were too scared to ask.

and with that, you tried your best to keep in touch with him, occasionally asking him how he and amane are, how he's been, what he's been up to. but even that slowly became a chore.

the flower inside you that bloomed with hope had started to wilt and wither, petals dropping to the ground.

you were preparing dinner for yourself, show already picked out, when your phone rings. but as soon as you set everything down, wiping your hands, and reach for it, the caller had hung up. instead, you're greeted with a text.

keiji: can i see you right now? ✓✓

you: where are you? ✓✓

keiji: outside your door. ✓✓

you run to the door, throwing it open.

he immediately pulls you into a hug, nose burying deep into the curve of your neck.

"keiji, i-"

you didn't get a good look at his face, but judging from the way his body shook and from the way he was sniffling, warm breath tickling your skin, you could put two and two together.

your hands hesitate before clutching onto the fabric of his shirt.

"it's okay," you say, holding him tightly against you, "everything will be okay..." you try to make your voice as soothing as you could.

"i'm sorry, y/n," he cried, "i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry."

you're silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"i love you," you breathe. your voice quivering, cautious, but you can't help but feel that it was the right thing to say, for some strange reason.

"not right now," he begged, "please, y/n, not right now."

oh how wrong you were.

you stood there silently, hands falling by your sides. akaashi looked at you with red-tinged eyes.

but your second mistake was to believe that it would've worked out in the end.

[ushiwakatrash]

Being the manager of Karasuno

- fucking CHAOTIC 

- You joined because Tsukishima (yeah wtf, right?!?!?) asked you to. Both him and Yamaguchi would have to worry about you going home alone and they would never allow that

- You’re friends with the two and they’re your classmates as well so you three are pretty close. Making you join their club assured them that they could always walk you home (and protect you from nasty boys because you are just that beautiful)

- they’re just that protective okay but you gotta admit,,,, it’s cute

- Suga welcomes you to the team the warmest, seeing that you’re more on the calmer side unlike the other first years here 

- Daichi just really has this dad aura around him so it makes you feel comfortable talking to him and of course Sugamama

- Asahi needed a minute to get to talk you without wanting to cry. It was rare that people weren’t afraid of this big softie so he’s overwhelmed

- Ennoshita was pretty chill about having a new manager until the 2nd yr idiot duo started making such a fuss out of it

- Tsukishima likes teasing the shit out of Tanaka and Nishinoya by slinging an arm around your shoulder, or by placing his chin on the top of your head

- They are FUMING and if it wasn’t for Daichi being there, they would have already pounced the lanky blonde string bean

- Since you’re also in a class for smart dudes, Kageyama and Hinata BEG you to tutor them,,, even though they sadly still failed 

- Whenever Kags is a lil grump, you always have change in your purse to buy him some milk to brighten up his day. He buys you pork buns as an exchange fot your kindness 

- Hinata reminds you of a corgi mixed with sunshine because HE IS JUST THAT. You tend to always pat his head and praise him, sometimes a ‘good boy’ slips in but he’s just happy to get compliments

- Speaking of compliments, their freak quick left your mouth hanging. You couldn’t stop raving about how cool they looked >ego is definitely raised< 

- It came to a point that even Daichi told you to shut up as nicely as he can because it started to go out of hand. “(Y/n), I know it’s cool and awesome but can you just PLEASE shut up”

- Tsukki and Yams snickered at your embarrassed face as you apologized

- When Ukai came, you let him know about your insights on the team and how they could improve. He also asked about strategies you think could work seeing that you keep a close eye on the boys

- “Holy shit did any of you know that your manager is a fucking genius?!” since then, the coach would always ask for your opinion on game plays and would tell you to keep on observing the team

- He bribed you with free pork buns and papico for you to agree

- During training camp, you heard how Yamaguchi stood up to Tsukki and you were one proud momma!! Like yeah my boy go tell that stupid blonde tower what’s on your mind

- You smacked them both on the head though, it wasn’t nice of them to yell at each other in another school

- You’re the overall balance the team needs and you’re the one who keeps everyone together♥
