#haikyuu Daichi x reader

empty nests, birds in flight

☆ tags: sawamura daichi x gn!reader, quick reminiscing in the gym space, y/n wanted to know what daichi was like back then, daichi misses his friends (and i do, too) ☆

It's early on a Saturday morning when Daichi leads you through the gates of Karasuno High. There's a few students milling about, dragging their feet as they head to practice. Quiet, save for their mumbled complaints. It's been a year or two since Daichi graduated, but it seems like he's still a familiar face; a handful of them nod in greeting when you pass.

He unlocks the gym and gestures for you to shuffle in first. He props the door open behind him, letting the remnants of the dawn chill envelop you. It creeps into the cracks of your coat and runs down your spine, and you raise your shoulders to get some feeling back in your ears. Faintly you hear the starting hum of the lights, but it gets drowned out by Daichi's footsteps as he heads towards the storage closet. His shoes don't squeak, but in your mind, you can hear dozens of pairs of feet running through the space, shouts punctuated by volleyballs slamming against the floor.

"This is it," he says, voice bouncing through the emptiness. He wheels the ball cart out like Takeda instructed, the only condition he gave for slipping you two the keys. "This is where I spent the better part of three years."

You breathe in deep. In two hours, it'll be filled with high school students gunning for nationals, a dream passed from senior to junior every season. You've seen pictures of Daichi's team. Glancing around the gym, you can see events play out exactly as he described them, his voice full of fond memories that make him sigh heavily.

"Thank you for showing this to me."

He smiles, and with the sunbeams filtering through the high windows, you're struck by how handsome he is and how he's all yours.

"Thank you," you say again emphatically, though the words pale in comparison to how grateful you are to the universe, that the stars aligned and guided him to you.

He must understand what you mean, though, because in a few quick strides he's back to your side, hand cradling the back of your neck as he presses kisses down the side of your face. He's laughing into them, and so are you. The sound echos and rings.

"That brunch place must be open by now," you remind him, palms resting against his chest. You don't bother pushing him away, and he doesn't step back.

"That's a good point. Let's return the keys and head out before the kids come in."

There's a wistfulness to his tone. Something like a twinge of regret. You pat his cheek, drawing his distant gaze back to you.

"We can come back and surprise them some time," you say, and you're not surprised by how fast his expression rises. "I think they'd appreciate seeing you again."

His fingers curl around your hand. "Would you mind coming with me? I'd love for them to meet you. My old teammates…they're important, and I want them to meet someone just as special to me."

You grin, even when he leans forward again to kiss you. "Of course, I'd love to."

Oct 1- "Don’t forget your scarf,  it’s cold out" {Daichi}

Clouds hung high in the sky as you tear your eyes from your bright screen for a moment, stuck doing work on, what most would call a bleak day, but in your eyes it’s the perfect autumn weather.

It’s chilly and darker then normal for this time. The leaves have already started to change and fall on the ground. Getting up, you crack open your window. Relishing in the crisp rush of wind that enters your room. That’s as much stretching as you can expect to get sadly till all this work is finish, so you plop back down and start another round of typing.

It’s not till a little later when you get another break in the from of your loving husband knocking on your door “Love? Can I come in?” You smile sweetly at the door and call back, removing your eyes as the door opens to reveal Daichi walking in with two steaming cups of something “You have been working for a while now so I made you something warm to drink and I wanted to check up on you” He sets down your mug and plants a kiss on the crown of your head, laughing slightly as you eagerly start consuming the warm drink. Able to taste the love and care made into it “Thanks babe and I’ve gotten a lot done but there is still a lot to do plus my legs are starting to cramp”

You sigh, your moment of bliss shattered by yourself as you peep out your window again. The breeze shaking the trees is almost hypnotizing till “How about we take a walk? Just to get your legs moving again hm?” Daichi knows you so well, you don’t need to be told twice as you save your work and stand up, hurrying around to get ready to leave your warm home. “Don’t forget your scarf, it’s cold out” Daichi’s voice cuts in as you put on your shoes, he grabs your favorite scarf as wraps it around your neck. He stops for a moment and pulls you closer to him by the scarf and plants a kiss on your forehead which earns a sweet laugh from you as he continues wrapping it around you, determined to keep any cold wind from you.

You two are ready to get some much needed fresh air and some movement. Taking a deep breath in as you step outside, yeah it’s cold but it’s inviting and awakening as the air fills your lungs. Daichi takes your hand as you two start walking, taking in the slight of the trees and the halloween decorations. Swinging your arms, you two chat about anything but work. This is your break time so you talk excitedly about your plans for the rest of the mouth and more mundane like what’s for dinner tonight but it gives your mind the break. Work is draining so talking about more enjoyable things is doing yourself some good.

After walking around your neighborhood for a little while you two decide to head home so you can knock out the rest of your work and really get in some earned down time. “Thanks for walking with me..” You state honestly as you two walk home, but Daichi just lifts your enclosed hands and places a light kiss on the back of your hand “Anytime babe, we just need to get ready to deal with the colder weather..” You laugh and tug on your scarf lightly with your free hand “More scarfs?” you tease as he sends you a wink “Yep more scarfs.”

Mornings Like These [Sawamura Daichi]

Pairing: Sawamura Daichi x Reader

Summary: You wake up to a surprise.

Genre: Fluff

A/N: I just wanted to write something sickeningly sweet, yk?

Frankly, you thought you were hallucinating when you woke up to your partner next to you.

He had so many late nights and early mornings working as a cop, always taking on bizarre hours that no one else wanted to work, that the two of you were rarely even awake at the same time. You’d always assured him that you didn’t mind; it simply made the moments you did share together all the more special.

Yet you’d spent so much time assuring him you were okay with your arrangement that you hadn’t even realized you missed him until now.

It was a long-awaited weekend and so there were no early alarms to wake you abruptly. Instead you felt the sun seeping through the gaps in your blinds, alerting you of the aging day. As you became increasingly cognoscente of your surroundings, you began to hear the melody of songbirds outside. When you rolled over, you could hear the shallow breaths of someone next to you.

Thoroughly spooked, you found yourself jolting upright in your bed worriedly looking around. Is there a ghost? You wonder. But the low groan next to you suggests otherwise.

“Babe.” It’s Daichi. You find yourself breathing out in relief. “What’s wrong?” he asks. Truly, you don’t remember the last time you woke up peacefully next to him like this. His voice in the morning is a bit ragged, his throat dry and his voice deeper than normal. Still, it sounds like the only home you’ve ever known, right beside him.

“Nothing, love,” you assure him. “We can sleep in today?” you question, making sure he’s not skipping out on work. The only response he gives you is an arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you into his strong chest.

He always sleeps bare-chested so it’s no surprise that your easily able to feel his strong arms from within his grasps, but you still relish in the feeling. Heat radiates off him in waves, comforting you silently.

He presses a chaste kiss to your temple, still yet to open his eyes. Daichi always took his time with lazy mornings, getting all he could out of his time with you. It was a rare treat, and he intended to make the most of it.

But that didn’t stop your restless mind. You were becoming increasingly aware of the tick of the clock and all the groceries you could be buying and how if you were going to be laying here next to the love of your life, you’d rather be doing it fully awake and conscious. That’s how you find yourself turning around in his grasp and placing your hand on Daichi’s cheek, harmlessly tracing the sharp corner of his jaw.

“What’s on your mind?” He already knows when your fingers explore his body it means the gears in your head are turning.

Looking at his face, completely relaxed, and his broad shoulders, ever reliable, you drink in every aspect about him; his perfect lips that taste like honey and chamomile tea, the crease between his eyebrows from all his worrying, and the tiny cut on his chin from the one area he could never seem to get quite clean when shaving. You’re reminded of how much you love it all.

“Have I ever told you that you’re my favorite person?” you ask him, voice a lullaby.

Finally, he opens his eyes to look at you and you feel like you could drown in them. He’s chuckling at you and it truly sounds like it’s coming from deep within his chest, because that’s the only way Daichi ever sounds. He doesn’t know how to speak without it coming from his gut, with all his energy behind him.

“Even better than that idol you were talking about the other day…what’s his name…” he teases you, arms gripping you tighter. You huff from in between his grip.

“Yes,” you confirm. “Even more than him. He doesn’t wake up next to me every day,” you remind him, sinking deeper into Daichi’s grasp.

“Wow,” Daichi remarks. “I must be a lucky man.”

You want to argue that of the two of you, you’re easily the luckiest, since you have the most wonderful partner. For all the late nights he had, Daichi made it up tenfold to you with homemade dinners and sweet proclamations of love. Instead, you continue with your banter.

“The luckiest.” You snuggle tighter into his hold.

“I love you.”

You sigh as he presses a kiss to your forehead. I know. Still, those three words never get old.

“I love you, too.”

You can feel his smirk from his voice.

“Even if I just farted?”

“Oh my gosh, Daichi, what did you eat?”

“Hey!” he calls after you playfully. “What about cuddles?”

You make a gagging gesture. “They can presume on the couch after breakfast.” Looking back at him to see if he’s actually getting up you add, “I’ll make waffles.”

He’s smiling at you like you’re his whole world, pulling a shirt over his head.

“I’ll make the coffee.”
