request: fluffy-spicy, accidental confession with rival Kuroo, as manager

When you moved to Tokyo, you had your pick of schools. You could have gone to Fukurodani or even Itachiyama, the entrance exams to either was a joke, but after you visited a local volleyball tournament with your parents you decided on Nekoma. Their persistence, strategy and determined gameplay was hypnotizing and your fascination for the club was born. You wanted to be a part of the team, design tactics against individual opponents and fantasized about giving the decisive hint to lead them to victory. So imagine your disappointment, when you met the team in your first year and some bed-headed, cocky boy went at it with the libero. From what you gathered, the libero, Yaku, had badly defeated the other one, Kuroo, during a game in middle school and Kuroo had been salty ever since. Instead of trying to mediate you agreed with Yaku‘s arguments and took his side, turning Kuroo from a mildly annoying nuisance into the enemy.

On the other side, it took Kuroo two summers to realize that all his proverbial pigtail-pulling meant he was in love. The feeling hit him one afternoon as he lounged upside down on Kenma‘s bed, watching his friend defeat the latest boss in a video game. Kuroo’s mind began to wander to the previous week when Kenma had pointed out that he had mentioned you six times in as many minutes and the realization was so earth-shattering that he nearly slid to the floor.

When you met him again in the hallway on your first day back of third year, you were prepared for whatever lame comment would come your way. What you didn’t expect was him avoiding your eyes and hurrying around the corner. You squinted, a skeptical frown plastered on your face. As you walked past he was casually conversing with the water fountain. What was he playing at?

“Hey, demon spawn, do you have a minute?”

Yaku looked up from the cup ramen he was slurping in the convenience store and although a little miffed that his quality after school time was interrupted, he nodded to the empty seat next to him.

Kuroo plopped down and Yaku began twirling a new ball of noodles around his chopsticks, thinking nothing more than this would probably concern homework or volleyball.

There was no use to dance around the subject.

“Does y/n ever talk about me?“

The libero almost choked and Kuroo waited until he calmed down, not moving a muscle to help.

“With deepest hatred, yeah.“, Yaku eventually pressed out and wiped his mouth with a paper napkin.

“You sure?“

“Very sure.“

“Maybe it’s just a front for her real feelings because obviously she wouldn’t wanna tell you that she is madly in love with me and-“

“No no. She really really hates you.“

“But I’m so lovable...“, Kuroo pouted, earning a scoff from his fellow teammate.

“Why are you asking, anyway? You better not try pulling some dumb prank on her.” Yaku scowled.

“Me? Never. - I just… I was just wondering, that’s all.”

“That’s a really weird thing to wonder about.”

“Do you never have a self-absorbed day? Hahaha…” Kuroo laughed nervously and grabbed the still wrapped melon bread next to Yaku, opening the package and taking a large bite to muffle his still ongoing awkwardness.

“Hey!”

“Just doing you a favor. These aren’t good for you.”, Kuroo said wisely through a mouthful of pillowy bread and, swallowing laboriously, added, “Sorry, gotta go. Thanks for this.”

Unfortunately, the uselessly tall jerk was nimble in his movements and jumped up to rush out of the glass doors. Yaku was about to pounce but the convenience store clerk asked him for quiet and, apologizing over and over with deep bows, he went back to his ramen, groaning inwardly because the noodles had gotten soggy.

Alright. He had three options. Pine for the rest of his days, wear you down over time with his infinite charm or confess and run away before you could insult him. None of them really tickled his fancy and with his disadvantageous starting point of “deepest hatred” - as per Yaku - his chances were slim but there was nothing else for it.

“So…” Kuroo ignored your rolling eyes when you turned to him. It was after practice on a Friday and he figured if he confessed now he had all weekend to hide in case it would go south.

“What are you doing tonight?”

“Why?”

You eyed him suspiciously, standing there all tall and handsome in the utility room. He had just wheeled in the basket of volleyballs, subconsciously placing his hand on one of them for support. Hoping no one would bear witness to his almost certain failure he closed the door behind him. He did it gently so you didn’t think he was trapping you, but the gesture made you raise a brow nonetheless.

When he didn’t answer right away you snapped, “What’s it to you?”

You ducked your head a bit at your tone. The hostility was of course just a front for your real feelings because obviously you wouldn’t want to tell Yaku that you were madly in love with Kuroo and -

“I thought maybe you wanna grab a drink at the convenience store on the way home.”

He increased the pressure on the ball, tension running through his body and his heart throbbed loudly in his ears.

To his surprise you didn’t shoot him down immediately but just asked, “Who else is coming?”

“No one?”

“Why?”

“Be…cause I want to be alone with you?”

“Why?”

Abort, abort, abort!

“Because I like you?”, he offered and gave you a smile that may have been an attempt at “winning volleyball captain” but only reached “uncomfortable idiot” at best. He flinched when you started laughing, then, in his desperation to save face joined in, although robotically.

“That was a good one.”, you admitted.

“Yeah… definitely. Got you good…”, he said lamely, “Well it’s been great talking to you as always. Remember this was a joke. Not serious. At all! Definitely didn’t confess to you just now, okay? - Okay, cool. See ya bye!”

He spun on his heel, internally rolling his shoulders, ready for a sprint to get far away, and a moment later inspected the useless door handle in his hand. A loud clunk kindly let him know that the other side of the handle had broken off as well. Oh no.

“Kuroo, that’s not funny.”

“I agree.”, he said, much calmer than he felt, and raised his hand to knock on the metal door, “Hello?! Anyone?! Can someone open the door, please?! There are people stuck in here!”

You took out your phone and dialed Yaku’s number. But after ringing through to voicemail twice, you sent him a text. “They’re all probably already in the shower.”, you said, ��Mori will get the text eventually and come to help.”

“Did you tell him you’re in here with me? Cause that might delay his response time.”

“How do you mean?”

“Well he wouldn’t really rush to help me, wouldn’t he?”

You crossed your arms and, adding an exasperated sigh, said, “You know, you guys are so childish. Why can’t you just get along?”

“We’re childish?”, he asked with mocking disbelief, “We are not the ones who hate on the incredibly charming, suave, level-headed captain for no reason.”

Being met with silence he added quietly, “Too much?”

“Maybe I wouldn’t hate you so much if you weren’t so damn kissable. It’s annoying.”, you muttered.

“What?”

“I said, you’re annoying!”

“And the part before that?”

“Didn’t say anything before that. You’re hearing things, grandpa.”

“Nooo, I definitely heard the word kissable.”

“Aww, going senile?”

“Hey, listen! You’re no different, okay?! If you weren’t so god damn cute all the time I wouldn’t have to ask for notes on lessons so often! You’re freaking distracting!”

You squared your shoulders, your body turning warm from embarrassment and, because you didn’t know what else to feel, completely unfounded offense.

“Oh, you think it’s easy for me?! With that stupidly great hair you’re always sporting?! And don’t even get me started on your voice! Makes me wanna drag you into an empty classroom!”

“What about your fruity lipgloss, huh?! You’re just asking me to stare!”

“And your biceps?!”

“And your hips?!”

“Your dumb weirdly hot smile?!”

“Why are we yelling nice stuff?!”

“Because I like you, too, you idiot!”

A moment’s pause draped itself between you, only disturbed by the breathless panting on either side.

“Yeah?”, he said finally, “Prove it.”

You unceremoniously closed the distance between you and pushed him back against the metal door, standing on tiptoes and grabbing the front of his jersey for good measure. The coward eventually unfroze and gripped your pudgy waist to pull you closer. His hands were everywhere and you gasped when he squeezed your ass, allowing his tongue to slip into your mouth. When you needed to come up for air he instead opted for dipping his head lower, kissing your neck, obviously determined to leave a hickey if he continued as he did. And you were very much about to let him when the door opened and both of you tumbled out. Kuroo made sure to cushion your fall, holding you safely in his arms when you landed on top of him and looked up to meet the utterly disgusted grimace of Yaku.

a/n: I got three accidental confession requests for Kuroo in slightly different variations xD so I decided to kind of mash them all together. For a purely fluffy non-manager option I have A Chaotic Confession if you’d like to check it out ^^ thank you so much to the three anons who requested this prompt. I hope you enjoyed it 🌟 (special thanks to @haikyu-mp4 for helping me out of a corner with this one!)

[anoant-haikyuu-dump]

More Nekoma hcs

• One time after an intense match Kuroo makes the mistake of taking the whole team out for hot pot, his treat. Never again. His wallet is in SHAMBLES, especially after the menaces that are Inuoka, Tora, Fukunaga, and Yaku get their hands on the meat menu. At least Kai helped with the bill

• Yaku is secretly super sappy— he gets emotional when reminiscing about the past, he loves romance manga, he tears up at sad movies, etc etc. Kai and Kuroo know about it and love teasing him in private but would never expose his softer side to the rest of the team. He totally bawls at graduation though and no one's suprised (they all knew)

• Shibayama and Inuoka are little gossips, they're always whispering to each other and giggling behind their hands (kinda like Tsuki and Yamaguchi but less bitchy lmao). They're the types to have conversations entirely made of inside jokes so if you hear them in passing it sounds like incoherent gibberish

• Thinking about that panel of Fukunaga holding an entire bunch of bananas, I think he'd bring whole-ass watermelons to school and scoop them out with a spoon for lunch. At first Tora’s appalled by it— as he is with most things Fukunaga does— but eventually he joins in. You’ll often find them hunched over a melon in the courtyard shoveling away like maniacs and spitting seeds into the air. Kenma thinks its the most disgusting thing he’s ever seen

• While we're talking about manga panels look at Inuoka swinging his tie around in the bg. He never ties it right, it drives Shibayama insane so he fixes it for him.

• One thing I like about stage play Kai is that he kinda has a short fuse and is a bit more sarcastic. I think he deserves a good scream in the club room at least once a week (Kuroo and Yaku guard the door so he can do it in peace)

• The third years are kinda like the Date Tech Alums in that they just show up to random practice games and heckle the team from the stands. Yaku's screaming at Lev about his form, Kuroo's teasing Kenma and Tora, Kai made a bingo sheet.

• Fukunaga has the kind of ADHD where he picks up a new hobby every week. Sometimes he's in the club room crocheting, sometimes he's learning yo-yo tricks, folding intricate paper cranes, rubix cubes, cup stacking, card shuffling, juggling, you name it. His favorite will always be cooking though, he uses the team as a test audience for new recipies.

Hi! I hope you are doing well 🩷

I love your works!!

If you take requests, could you do the headcanons for "being Fukurodani's pretty manager" ??

you as fukurodani's beautiful manager.

content: (🦷) tooth-rotting fluff, reader is akaashi's cousin, reader is as pretty as kiyoko shimizu and alisa haiba, you're a second year here, bokuto kinda likes you, quite long.

⚠ warning/s: none.

note: ENJOY READING ANON AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REQ!!! :DDD maybe i should work on a karasuno ver. and aoba johsai ver. too..

inarizaki ver. | nekoma ver. | shiratorizawa ver. | aoba johsai ver.

goodnight and goodbye

yukie and kaori were searching hardcore for a new manager to take over because they were both in their third year, and soon enough, they'll be graduating

and you just so happened to stumble into the third year's classroom while carrying the teacher's papers

yukie and kaori's mind SYNCED at the sight of you.

"of course, akaashi's cousin! why didn't we think of that before?" kaori scream-whispered to yukie

so now, here you are, at the gym entrance with yukie and kaori by your side

akaashi perks his brow before asking, "y/n, what are you doing here?"

"yukie promised me a supply of lemon bread if i became your guys' manager." you simply answered as yukie brought up two thumbs up in confirmation

"our y/n is going to be super helpful, no?" kaori said, placing both her palms on your shoulders

"no way, y/n will be our manager?!" bokuto exclaimed, having just entered the gymnasium

you turned around and smiled gleefully. "hello, kō!"

bokuto's heart pounds at the given nickname. "hey, hey!" he greets

you already knew the members, and they knew you too! you actually came by the gym often to drop something off for akaashi

konoha really likes you, like really

washio just deadpans because there's nothing much to say between you two.

you think sarukui is pretty fun to be with!!

haruki likes to joke around with you :3

wataru's like the fourth manager because hE'S VERY HARDWORKING FROM WHAT YOU'VE SEEN

oh dear, if only you knew how much stress they'd cause you while on trial.

there's SO.. SO SO SO MANY STRAYS..

this is more cardio than you'll ever get in PE

"i want to quit..!" you thought, picking up one ball after another

"hey, y/n!" bokuto calls out, and you look up at him

he does a little finger heart with one hand, and your stomach is just filled with little butterflies from the silly encouragment

you return the finger heart with a bashful expression, and bokuto smiles all giddily

akaashi just stands in the middle of the gym, contemplating anything and everything.

"y/n -> bokuto = bokuto & akaashi = in-laws."

i mean.

akaashi doesn't mind since bokuto is a great guy, and he'd much rather you be engaged to his best friend than anyone else right now

but still.

"i need to sit down.." akaashi mutters as sarukui laughs at him

On Bokuto being Fukurodani’s captain

I promised myself I wouldn’t make another Bokuto defence post, but I’ve been reliably informed the Fukurodani tag is lacking posts and I’m here to contribute.

We’ve probably all seen it - the post that is like, “every captain acts like a father figure to their team, and then there’s Fukurodani”

And I mean, it’s funny. It got a good chuckle out of me, too, because that is how jokes work. Jokes have to be funny, they don’t necessarily have to be true.

Because yes. For Karasuno, whose line-up consists of three first-years, and the dynamic duo Tanaka-and-Noya, sure, Daichi is more of a father figure. So is Kuroo, I suppose, for Nekoma (though where Daichi is the tough-love kind of dad, I see Kuroo as the “hey x, i’m dad” kind of person.)

And it works for them, because that’s what those teams need.

They’re young. They’re chaotic. They need a voice of reason (Karasuno) or, failing that, at least someone who’s capable of mediating in a fight. Who’s willing to tell the children to suck it up and make up, even if they weren’t in the wrong (Nekoma).

A captain should be what the team needs, after all.

But that is not how Fukurodani works.

Fukurodani has a completely different dynamic than Nekoma and Karasuno. Sure, they bicker. They probably fight, too. But listen. Save Akaashi and Onaga, the entire team is made up of third years - and we all know that in terms of maturity, Akaashi is on their level if not higher.

(Sorry Onaga. I’m afraid I don’t know enough about him yet to include him in that statement. Doesn’t come across as particularly childish either, for what it’s worth!)

So you’ve got an elite team. A team of more-or-less adults. The millennial kind of of adults, maybe - the “i need an adultier adult” kind. But a team of people who know when it’s okay to fool around and when it’s time to call it quits.

In a team like that, what use is a father figure?

And then there’s Bokuto.

Bokuto who is very much not mature at all. Bokuto who doesn’t know when to stop, when to call it quits. Bokuto who goes out to play not for the sake of winning, but to enjoy playing. To have fun. Winning is just the result of that.

Bokuto who looks at his teammates and gives them permission to just fool around and have fun, just for the sake of it. Want to try a cool spike? Great! It worked? That’s awesome, teach me how to do it.

Didn’t work? Too bad, try again.

Bokuto who gently and sometimes not-so-gently pushes his team. Try harder. Do better. Not because it’s disappointing if they don’t, but because it’s more fun if they do - because Bokuto firmly believes that they can.

Fukurodani is a great team. An elite team. They know they’re good. Maybe sometimes, just “good” feels like enough to them - but never to Bokuto. If you run three laps today, you might make it to four tomorrow. Maybe five laps the day after.

Bokuto is the kind of person who reaches, who moves forward, who doesn’t want to stop improving.

He’s also the kind of person who motivates his teammates to try harder simply because that’s what he does. They don’t want to fall behind. If Bokuto can do it, then so can we.

I think it’s such in important scene, at the end of the match against Mujinazaka, when Bokuto shakes hands with Kiryuu - not just because, despite their loss, Kiryuu can honestly say that he’s glad he played his last match against Bokuto, though I’d say that says a lot about Bokuto in general. It’s not a bad thing, losing to him. It’s sad - of course it’s sad, but it’s not frustrating. They played a good game. Hell, they had fun. It’s an acceptable loss.

But the really important part, to me, is when Bokuto holds onto his hand and tells him, “you should tell your team to give you better tosses. Even if it’s asking too much. You should still do it.”

Because not only does that show that Bokuto isn’t an idiot - he’s very much aware of what goes on on the field. He noticed that most of those tosses sucked. Kiryuu is amazing for managing to hit those, and Bokuto isn’t afraid of telling him that.

And it’s not even that he’s telling his opponent, hey, you’re already pretty incredibly and you could spike better if the set-up worked in your favour. (Because contrary to what seems a popular opinion, Bokuto’s “I’m the best!” Doesn’t mean “everyone else sucks.” I don’t understand why people tend to make him egoistical. Bokuto stops at nothing to tell others when they’re doing well and compliment them.)

No, the really important part of that exchange is that Bokuto is also saying, you aren’t letting your team improve if you keep letting them keep get away with this.

And it’s true, isn’t it. You can help your classmate cheat or do your coworker’s work for them - it saved them in that moment, maybe, but they will not learn. You’re taking away their opportunity for improvement.

Kiryuu can tell his team, it’s okay if your tosses are shit, I will hit them anyway. But at the end of the day, those tosses are still going to be shit. It doesn’t make them better players, and if any of them want to keep playing after high school they’re going to be in a lot of trouble, because not everyone will be able to hit them - or be even willing to try.

So no, Bokuto is about the farthest thing from a father figure. But he pushed his team to do better. Forces them to pick up the pace one way of another, sometimes maybe through his bad moods, but also by motivating them to stop accepting “good” as “good enough.”

And look, I’m not completey oblivious. I’m fairly certain Bokuto is probably not great at handling the official side of being captain - club applications and funding requests and whatever needs handling. But he’s not doing it alone, is he?

And of course Akaashi is impressive, making vice-captain as a second year. And I’m willing to bet Bokuto was the first to insist he’d have to do it.

So you’ve got the captain who pushes and the vice-captain who keeps things level. I’d say that’s the kind of team Fukurodani needs as their captains, don’t you?

— ♬ "And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars. And why I've spent my whole life tryin' to put it into words"

— ♬ Kuroo x Reader, timeskip, SFW, fluff, gen reader, high school friends to lovers, no beta

One look, dark room, meant just for you. Time moved too fast, you played it back. You see buttons on a coat and remember a lighthearted joke, back then it had no proof and it was not much but you saw enough. When you were younger, you had trouble making friends. You used to believe that there was something wrong with you and that nobody was willing to stay and play, for a long time you coped with that. Being alone. Until high school went up and changed everything.

You didn't originally want to go to Nekoma High, you were aiming for Fukurodani Academy or even Itachiyama Institute. But you ended up going to Nekoma which you admit you hated at first. You had the potential to be in more prestigious schools in Tokyo but at least you ended up in one of the higher class sections during your first year. In terms of academics, there was no hassle. You went through every homework, classwork, presentation, and even group activity like a breeze. However, in terms of social life, you offer nothing but silence.

You couldn't connect with anyone in your class, they were kind people but there was no one who you see willing to open up to you and vice versa. It felt like your childhood and middle school all over again, you always ended up alone. But you were fortunately wrong. It was a fateful day during lunch and you were eating alone when you spotted a shadow over your head. And you saw him, feline-like eyes and bedhead hair. He offers you an eager smile.

"Mind if I sit here with you?"

He asks and you nod. He sits across from you and pulls out his lunch. He looked taller and older than you. The way he behaved around you told you how he was comfortable with approaching strangers, and you stopped eating.

"You're Kenma's seatmate, right?"

"Oh, you mean Kozume-san?"

"Yep! He didn't go to school today, he got sick"

"You know him?"

"We're childhood best friends, we sorta tell each other everything. I'm Kuroo Tetsuro, by the way"

"I'm [Surname], [Surname] [Name]"

Kuroo seems so eager to get to know you. Your first lunch shared with Kuroo left you puzzled, you're convinced it was only a one-time occurrence. But it repeated, again, and again. And it turned into a routine, for months until the entirety of your first year. You and Kuroo became friends, something you never anticipated. You two became so close that it felt natural. By the time you reached your second year, you and Kuroo were inseparable.

He convinced you to join the boys' volleyball club as a manager. Kenma became the witness to all your shenanigans with his childhood best friend. Because of Kuroo, you changed. You've learned to open up to people, you've become the person you are today thanks to him. Your friendship with Kuroo got you through the hardships in high school up until graduation. The two of you remained close after he left for college and the beginning of your third year. You and Kuroo consistently kept in touch until it was your turn to leave Nekoma for college.

You haven't heard from each other ever since and you've made a new life in college. You gained new experiences, new friends, and new challenges to overcome. Even if you and Kuroo drifted apart, there wasn't a day that you don't wonder where he is right now. By your last year in college, you began to miss him. To miss the memories you had with him in high school. Watching movies, playing video games with Kenma, volleyball practice, and having sleepovers. You had a major case of nostalgia when you went through your old photos back in high school, there were Polaroids of you and him on his graduation that never fail to make you tear up.

College ended as your career began. You found a stable job that paid enough to sustain yourself, and that's when you began trying to reconnect with Kuroo. You also found out through a colleague that Kenma became a YouTuber, rising in popularity. All it took was a quick DM to his Instagram account and you got Kuroo's contact number (thankfully, Kenma still recognizes you). Apparently, he works at the Japan Volleyball Association within the Sports Promotion division. Something you knew he would definitely pursue. 

It was close to midnight when you contemplated calling up his number, a million scenarios flooded your head. He could be already asleep, he doesn't know your number so he might not answer, or maybe he has already forgotten you. Your chest goes tight at the last thought. But you suck in a deep breath and dialed Kuroo's number. You held your phone against your ear and stared down at your Polaroid picture with him in your hand, it was one taken during your eighteenth birthday.

"Hello?"

You hear his voice in the line and your throat goes dry. It felt like your heart came to a screeching halt before it began racing after realizing the situation. You let out a shaky breath.

"Hi, Tetsuro"

"...[Name]? Holy shit [Name] is that you?!"

He sounds so excited and it causes tears to blur your vision. You let out a relieved chuckle knowing Kuroo hasn't forgotten about you. Immediately, you and him began talking and catching up on each other's lives. There was a brief exchange of apologies for letting the years go by without keeping in touch, but there were no grudges held and all was forgiven. 

"Where is your place? I'll pick you up, let's get coffee!"

"Sure"

It began snowing outside as you wrapped yourself in your thickest clothes. You waited in front of your apartment complex and saw a car pull up minutes later. The windows roll down and your heart leaps out of your chest. It was Kuroo Tetsuro, your high school best friend. He was grinning at you like he always did back then. He kept his signature bedhead hair and the only difference was he seemed to look more charming than he was during high school. You smile as he opens the passenger door for you.

You sat in the passenger seat in quietness while smiling at each other, it truly felt like nothing had changed. Small talk and he drives. You two grab coffee at midnight. You and Kuroo stood against each other under the snow, sipping on coffee and laughing. The lampost light reflects the chain on your neck, Kuroo's eyebrows raised.

"Look up"

He says, and your shoulders brushed. It was no mistaking it. You were still wearing the necklace he gave you on your eighteenth birthday. You couldn't tell if the cold made his ears red or something else. No proof, one touch. But seeing Kuroo slide closer to you made you feel enough.

Something has changed, you couldn't point out what it was but something wasn't the same with you and Kuroo. The two of you spent a whole month making up for lost time. If it was possible, it seemed like the two of you became even closer. Perhaps closer than him and Kenma, but it felt way more different. You began noticing the shift in your and Kuroo's relationship one morning when you woke up at his place after spending the night drinking. You smell burnt toast in the kitchen and it was a Sunday. You keep his shirt, and he keeps his word. And for once, you let go, of your fears and your ghosts. One step, not much. But it said enough.

You feel the change transform you and Kuroo uncontrollably. This felt nothing like high school anymore. Kuroo was getting closer and closer each time and you welcomed it. You've never felt so comfortable with anyone in your life. This is proved when Kuroo and you began kissing on sidewalks. You knew you'd never find someone like Kuroo in your life, so whenever you two would fight, you two would always talk.

However, everything comes into full circle one night when Kuroo wakes. He spent the night at your apartment and slept beside you. You stirred awake and you see the strange look on his face. He looks at you deep into your eyes, you gaze back with bated breath. He pauses.

"[Name], you're my best friend"

He says. And you knew what it was, he was in love. He's in love with you. So you instantly leaned against him and shared a long gentle kiss. For a long time, you felt like you two were dancing in a snow globe 'round and 'round. And now he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown. And understand why you spent your whole life trying to put it in two words. But you can hear it in the silence. You can feel it on the way home. You can see it with the lights out. You didn't see it back then but now it becomes crystal clear; you're in love, true love. You're in love with Kuroo Tetsuro.

"I think I fell in love with you the moment you gave me this necklace for my eighteenth birthday"

"Oh. Well, I think I fell in love with you when I sat with you for lunch back at high school for the first time"

"You're lying"

"No! Ask Kenma! I just didn't know it back then. But now, when you called me up after what felt like ages, I knew I didn't want to be in love with somebody else"

"Ew, cheeseball"

"Shut up! Look at you, being so in love with me!"

"As if you aren't more terribly in love with me, Tetsu"

"I wouldn't want it any other way, darling"

You and Kenma were never big fans of going outside, both of you were content by being in each other presence doing whatever, whether it was him playing and you reading, both of you playing together, watching a movie. It didn’t matter as long as you were together.

And for some reason your friend, Kuroo Tetsurou, didn’t like that idea.

He decided to annoy the life out of you giving you date ideas every day. Why he was so invested in your relationship? No one really knows, but both of you love him enough to finally listen to him, reason why you both are here in the SEGA arcade.

“Why did we listen to Kuro? This place is filled with people” sighs Kenma looking around

“Because he’s annoying. Besides it’s not that full, could be worse”

“True, at least I’m with you. Let’s go” he says holding your hand tighter, not noticing the blush in your cheeks at his straightforwardness. After knowing each other for so many years, and being together for a while, he was comfortable with you. Way too comfortable sometimes.

You two went playing around the arcade, from the classics like street fighter, in where he kick your ass; to the rhythm games, in where you managed to beat him.

It wasn’t until much later, after lots of laughter, that you notice that the place had crane machines. You were never good at them, never had enough patience to win, and yet you still found your way towards them.

“Seriously babe? Those? You suck at them” Kenma says chuckling. He has seen you fail miserably whenever you and the rest of Nekoma hang out.

“But they have a Nezuko figurine” you pout jokingly “I’m sure I can do it, let me try”

You both walk towards the crain machine, you trying your best while he laughs silently, honestly one of your favorite sounds. After many attempts at it you decided to give up, not only you were running out of patience, but Kenma making fun of you didn’t help

“Ugh, this is impossible”

“Or you are just bad at it” he jokes, making you punch him in his arm “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Let me try”

He goes to the machine, putting a few coins in it. He fails the first two attempts, claiming that he was just getting the hand of it before succeeding on his third one, giving you a smug look.

“How- I hate you” you joke

“Oh really? I was going to give it to you, but if you hate me...” he laughs again at your face, pulling to his side “Here, for you. Let me see you fail in another one”

[defhope]

short uni kuroo/3rd year kenma to celebrate kuroos bday!!!

!! – english is Not my first language, so i apologize for the mistakes!! and it gets a little heated in the end (no smut tho)

kuroo and kenma were inseparable. since they were kids, they would always find a way to see and be with each other.

but, as always, growing up had other plans.

it was tetsurou's first year in uni and, to say less, he wasn't very present in kenmas life anymore. – i mean, of course, he kept sending messages and calling every night, but he wasn't there. and that was enough to make kenma feel a little.. uneasy.

he never realized how much he enjoyed physical touch, especially kuroos. yes, he would hug other friends sometimes, but it wasn't the same.

it was particularly a hard day today, being the third day of the training camp without kuroo. besides, kenma hasn't seen him in four months and a half, both being just too busy. so being somewhere he associated with kuroo was just harder.

at the very least, he saved one (or five) of kuroo shirts to use, and, if you squint, it still smelled like tetsurou.

kenma brought the shirt collar to his nose and sniffled before going out of the room – he was the last one, he would never ever do that somewhere where tora could see and make fun of him for being so in love with his best friend (for the record: he wasn't, he just really liked his smell and missed his touches and missed seeing him and running his fingers through his hair and-).

the day went fast, nekoma won almost all the games – of course karasuno would make an insane twist, they have main character energy after all

also, shouyo was way better than the year prior.

kenma, yamaguchi, kageyama and hinata were chilling on the side of the court. kenma showing a video to kageyama because of course he, shouyo and tadashi were making niche brainrot jokes without realizing.

kozume heard tsukishima laugh a little and looked up to him, turning to the door in the exact moment that kuroo entered the court.

tsukishima didnt even placed his glasses correctly before being attacked by a big hug from tetsurou. yamaguchi shook his hand, kageyama just waved and hinata also hugged.

kenma was standing and waiting, almost in disbelief that kuroo was there. his kuro, right there. after four months and a half.

when their eyes finally met, kenma could pass out. he missed his best friend. he almost felt like falling but kuroo was there to catch him in a big hug.

yes, he wanted act unbothered and annoyed but he just couldn't

he hugged back and took a deep breath, enjoying everything about the contact.

"hey, kitten", said kuroo. "missed you".

"missed you too", kenma managed, sounding muffled for being burried in kuroos hoodie.

"i can tell. is that my shirt?", kenma just nodded. "you look so pretty in it"

kenma looked up, his chin on kuroos chest. they were just enjoying each other before-

"BRO?!" bokuto screamed and kuroo looked away from kenma, the last actually considered killing the owl look-alike for being in the way of their moment.

the dumb and dumber started screaming-talking to each other because why wouldn't their visits coincide.

it was just a few moments later, after a little scolding and a lot of cleaning, that kenma went to the locker room after everyone had already left.

well, everyone except kuroo.

kenma was getting his clean clothes when tetsurou hugged him from behind, burying his nose in kenmas neck.

"kuro, i'm pretty sute that im not smelling very nice right now.".

"i don't care, i missed you.".

kenma faked a disappointed sigh before turning and hugging kuroo back.

"you're such a clingy cat, you know that?", kenma teased.

"am not. seeing you in my shirt after so much time just did that to me.".

"be honest with yourself, you would've glued on me even if i was wearing rotten meat.".

silence for some seconds before kuroo grunting, trying to disentangle from kenma, who laughed and held tighter, not letting kuroo go.

"i missed you so much." he let out, not really thinking.

"i missed you too". kuroo said and looked at kenma.

once again, the moment seemed to go in slow motion. they were looking at each other, so close that their breaths were ghosting each others face. it just seemed right, so kenma gave kuroo a little peck on the lips. it lingered for some seconds before he pulled away, opening his eyes to see if kuroo was uncomfortable but then he was hit by an actual kiss.

it started slow, just lips moving together. then, kenma gave an unconscious but needed lick between testsurous lips, the kiss deepening immediately.

they broke the contact when kenmas back hit the locker.

"shit- sorry." kuroo apologized. "i'm so sorry kenma-"

"i really hope you're apologizing for stopping."

"y-you want to keep going?"

"kinda", kenma shrugged. "you don't..?"

"i do!" he answered pathetically fast, cleaning his throat before saying "i do, yes." more calmer.

"then kiss me.".

kuroo always obeyed kenma, so he didn't even had to ask twice before tetsurou kissed him once again.

"neck hurts", kenma muttered.

kuroo only hummed before grabbing the back of kenmas thighs and manhandle him up.

the kiss got heated after that, both unconsciously seeking friction.

"i missed you so much", kenma pulled away to say, leaving little kisses all over kuroos face.

tetsurou laughed shyly and gave a little squeeze in kenmas thigh, pressing their bodys even closer. "i missed you too, kitten."

"is this a bad moment to say that i think i'm in love with you?" kenma asked and kuroo shook his head no.

"i think i am, too."

then they kissed again.

and again.

and again.

until kenmas phone started ringing and they heard shouyos voice outside saying something like "i guess they got lost" and tobios voice saying that it was impossible and a fight starting.

kuroo let go of kenma and gave him one last peck. "i think thats our cue".

being away from kuroo was bad, but if that meant a good makeout sesh, then let another four months and a half be.

➫ 𝓤𝗞𝗔𝗜 𝓚𝗘𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡 ୨୧ ˎˊ˗

⌗  around this hour keishin probably just got off of work at sakanoshita's, so you offered to help with closing the shop up cuz you wanted him home faster🤲

⌗  tbh he didn't really want you helping him since some tasks were difficult and he had a set routine for how he did things

⌗  he bit his tongue whenever you tried to put things away and always waited at least two minutes for you to move to the next thing to fix it all over again LMAOOOO

⌗  but he really appreciated the help and above all, the company💞

⌗  finally the two of you left and ukai managed to salvage two remaining pork buns that he'd bake a few hours ago for the boys. naturally, he kept one for himself and gave the other to you while you on the walk home.

⌗  he was telling a few stories on the way and making jokes about his days in karasuno as a setter when you suddenly turned to him, eyes shining with endearment and a little bit from the moonlight.

⌗  you had heaved the softest of sighs before leaning onto his shoulder, chuckling almost absentmindedly. "ahh, i love you." — lemme tell you the man was speechless but hella thankful that you didn't peer up from the ground to see his expression.

➫ 𝓓𝗔𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨 𝓢𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗨 ୨୧ ˎˊ˗

⌗  MALL DATE CUZ I SAW SUMN CUTE IN HAIKYUU BŪ!! WITH HIM AND MIKA LMAO

⌗  so you'd both be finishing up on your shopping and it's around eight — which is when the mall closes ( dunno if it's like this in japan, but definitely in the states ), and you're both on your way out

⌗  he'd be carrying most of the bags while you're finishing up the rest of the milkshake he got you, and it's when the moonlight struck him that you realized how lucky you were

⌗  he may be the pettiest person on his team and get into dumb banters with nekoma's captain, but he was the love of your life regardless. the one that you love and cared for so dearly, who brought you happiness like no other man or woman could

⌗  he was there every minute, every call, every hangout; every moment, he was there for you no matter how happy or sad you were.

⌗  "suguru?" you'd call out finally and he'd hum, peering over at you with a tired smile. "what is it, my love?"

⌗  "i love you so much, thank you for today," you smiled softly, leaning in to peck his cheek quickly, which left him a flustered mess- oh boy..

➫ 𝓢𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗠𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝓓𝗔𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗜 ୨୧ ˎˊ˗

⌗  it's just about two minutes before he had to line up for his match against shiratorizawa; the air had been tense and you were very much aware of his anxiety

⌗  who wouldn't be anxious? as a third year, it was do or die to get into nationals and as a captain, he couldn't bare being the one to let his team down, not after declaring to them that they would make it to nationals.

⌗  you noticed his nervous demeanor and gently, you approached his tensed form, crouching down in front of him while he sat on the bench as you reached out for his hands

⌗  gently you cradled them both in your own, placing a kiss at the top before looking up at him, catching the blush spreading across his tanned cheeks.

⌗  "you're gonna do great, you know that?" you'd ask, tracing his fingers gently with your own while he nodded slowly.

⌗  his lips had parted to make a remark and you shushed him with a quick kiss, laughing softly when his cheeks darkened profusely.

⌗  "i love you daichi, good luck out there, i'll be cheering you on as loud as i can!" you proclaimed before standing back up and running off to the stands, waving him off enthusiastically while he stood there, utterly flabbergasted. but what you didn't catch was the soft smile that formed on his lips🥺

koiii my dear :3 i would like to learn more about your selfships if you wouldnt mind sharing more about them with me hehe ! ! ♡ how you met + how the feelings grew to be something of love . . waah i am so curious ! ૮꒰ྀི⊃⸝ ⸝ ⸝⊂꒱ྀིა

omg miss coco ;-; (also i’m so sorry with how long it took to answer this ;-;)

kozume kenma:

how we met: at nekoma (different class during first year, same for second and third)! (i’m a huge sucker for high school sweethearts) and the (dare i say) pretty vb manager (joined after nationals because i finally gathered the courage to) that yamamoto has always wanted but couldn’t even look at for months out of respect for kenma (because he knew that i liked him, and then after when he felt more comfortable, he became my best wingman!) how the feelings grew: what started as a silly crush became full-fledged and not a joke anymore when i watched their match with karasuno (what also pushed me to be their manager). it’s a little while longer but we both decide to confess the same day (i fell first but he fell harder!!!) and as much as i wanna say it was meant to be, it was actually set up by kuroo

kenma’s is my only well thought out selfship ;-; but if you have more questions i would be so honored to answer them!! <3

you’ve inspired me to think on these more >:3

[angelcake-69]

Since my last post reached my goal of a total 1 WHOLE note, I decided to make another part.

(I was gonna do this anyway)

Kuroo x Reader Pt.2

Part 1 here

Chapter 2) More Nekoma ;)

Y/ns P.o.v

At the end of the tryouts coach Nekomata told us to come back to the gym in the morning to get our team jackets. While we were walking home I saw a cat hiding in a bush, I decided to approach it.

"Hey there, kitty.." I whispered as I patted my leg. The cat slowly approached me. It sniffed my hand for a second before it licked my finger. Casey and Cheyenne walked up to me.

"Oh my gosh I love cats!" Casey whisper-yelled and Cheyenne agreed.

"I think I might take it home.. there's no collar." I said as I gently picked up the cat and held it against my chest. The cat mowed softly and began purring.

"You should take it to a vet, it might be hurt or sick." Casey said. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'll ask my mom to take me tomorrow." I smiled at them.

We continue our walk and soon I had to leave them to turn down my street. I took off my shoes before I walked in. I saw my mom and greeted her.

"Hey mom, do you think you could take me to the vet tomorrow? I found this cat and I wanna see if it's okay." I said as I held the cat up for her to see.

"Sure sweetie, we can go after you get home from school." She replied before she went back to cooking.

"Thanks ma!" I yelled back.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

In the morning I got ready for school then a put a bowl of tuna out for the cat, which reminded me that I still need to name it. Then I headed out to go to school.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

When I got to school I met up with Casey and Cheyenne.

"Hey guys!" I yelled at them and they greeted me back. "My mom's gonna take me to the vet for the cat!"

"Perfect! Now we can make sure she's not sick!" Cheyenne said happily.

"Don't you mean purrfect?" Casey joked. I giggled a bit at their joke.

"Tee hee tee hee die" Cheyenne replied.

We walked to the gym together and joked along the way. When we made it to the gym it was just the coach there, he gave us some team jackets and welcomed us. We smiled and said thank you before we left to our classes.

"Guys, isn't this so exciting! We get to be managers!" I said excitedly. Casey nodded.

"Yeah! We'll be able to get a closer look at all the boys." Cheyenne said.

"Don't be nasty."Caseyy told her, I giggled at them.

"I can't wait to meet the guys and become friends!" I said happily as we walked to 1st period.

"Nah, you just wanna see that 3rd year again~" Casey said as Cheyenne giggled and agreed.

I blushed."Guys I do not have a crush on him! He's a third year!" I denied. couldn'tnt see why Casey and Cheyenne thought I had a crush on him, we barely had any interactions and I don't know anything about him. Casey and Cheyenne turned down a different hallway, waving goodbye to me. I waved back before I turned around to get to my class. However, bumped into someone and fell over.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I apologized as I stood up. The person chuckled and helped me.

"No need to be sorry. I'm the one who should be sorry." He replied. It was then when I finally looked up at him. It was Kuroo!!?

'Ugh.. speak of the devil..' I thought.

"Are you okay? You fell, you didn't get hurt did you? I can take you to the nurse if you want." He said in a worried tone.

I shook my head. "N-no I'm fine." I cursed myself in my head for stuttering and I smiled. "I have to head to class now!" I said quickly before I speed walked to my class.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

After school I met up with Casey and Cheyenne and we walked to the gym. We put our team jackets on and walked in. Only coach Nekomata was in there and he said he'd introduce us to the team when everyone gets here. I stood off to the side nervously, it seemed like Cheyenne was nervous and maybe Casey too but she didn't really seem like it.

"I gotta admit it guys.. I'm kinda nervous..." i said. Cheyenne sighed.

"Yeah me too.." Cheyenne replied.

"Come on guy's.. we'll be fine~ and the guys probably won't even notice us." Casey tried to reaasure us.

"I guess you're right.. but it's nerve-wracking!" I said nervously. Casey chuckled at my reaction.

Before I could tell her off for laughing at my misery, some of the guys came in, they were looking at us and I immediately felt embarrassed. I looked around at the guys, it seemed that Casey was right about the fact that they wouldn't pay us any mind. As I was looking around I saw Kuroo walking towards me.

"Hey, are you alright? I haven't seen you since earlier, but I wanted to check up on you." He said as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Um, yeah I'm fine. I'm doing great!" I said quickly, i could see Cheyenne and Casey smiling at me. I looked back at Kuroo and gave him an awkward smile. I moved his hand off my shoulder.

"Thats good. You guys are gonna be our new managers right?" He replied.

"Yeah!" Cheyenne said as Casey nodded. Kuroo smiled at them.

"Nice, bow Yamamoto won't whine and cry about us not having any." Kuroo said with slight annoyance.

It was then when coach Nekomata decided to cut our conversation short by calling all the boys over to him. He asked Cheyenne, Casey, and me to come stand next to him as he introduced us. I was nervously standing there, slightly behind Casey who patted my shoulder reassuringly.

"These are your new managers! Treat them kindly, they'll be helping you!" Coach Nekomata yelled to the boys. They all nodded and said 'yes sir' before the coach told them to get back to practice.

I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Man.. i thought that was gonna be way worse." I said happily and Cheyenne nodded.

"It was a little awkward just standing up there though.." Casey said and we agreed.

Before I could say anything, a boy with a stupid-looking mohawk came up to us along with Kuroo and another guy who was playing a video game.

"Oh my gosh I can't believe it! We actually have managers!" Mohawk guy said.

"Yeah, it's super cool and super interesting. Enough to get us distracted from practice." Kuroo said in a fake cheerful tone.

"Hi I'm Y/n! It's nice to meet you!" I said happily.

"Hello. I'm Casey." Casey said in a bored, monotone voice with a lazy smile.

"Hi I'm Cheyenne!" Cheyenne said cheerfully. Mohawk guy smiled.

"I'm Yamamoto!" He said proudly, I nodded.

"Oh he's the guy Kuroo was talking about.." I said, Casey nodded.

"Yeah, I assumed so, he seemed pretty happy about us being here and he came right up to us.." She said.

Kuroo dragged Yamamoto away to go practice before he came back.

"Sorry about him" He said.

"Dont be, he's kinda funny to watch." I replied.

"Oh! And this is Kenma! He's my best buddy! Right Kenma?" Kenma didn't respond. Kuroo chuckled "He's just shy!~"

Cheyenne seemed to really like Kenma already as she was walking up to him and watching him play.

"He seems nice!" I said and Kuroo nodded.

"Yeah he's super cool!" Kenma rolled his eyes.

"Quit talking about me.." he mumbled and Kuroo chuckled at him again.

"Well, we better head back to practice before coach knocks our brains out. See ya cuties~!" Kuroo said as he dragged Kenma away with him.

I rolled my eyes at the nickname and went to grab a clipboard and make notes on practice.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

After practice was over I took off my team jacket, it could get pretty hot in the gym I was surprised to see Casey still wearing hers.

Cheyenne, Casey, and I were about to start walking home when Kuroo approached us with Kenma.

"Hey, I thought I might walk y'all home.. and Kenma wanted to come too!" He said cheerfully. Kenma made a face that told me that wasnt true.

"Okay, come on then. You guys are welcome to walk with us!" I said happily. Casey nudged me.

"You wanna spend more time with your boyfriend huh~?" She teased me.

I blushed. "I told you I don't like him like that!" I whispered back. She chuckled and said 'sure.' I shook my head, she could be so annoying sometimes. 'Why do they insist on torturing me..?' I thought as we continued walking.

When we were walking around the corner where we saw the kitten Kuroo seemed like he was looking for something but he quickly returned to looking in front of us.

"I didn't know you guys lived around here." Kuroo said.

"Yeah, but we live on different streets." I replied, Kuroo smiled.

"I live around here too.. and so does Kenma, right Kenma!?" Kenma shrugged, I get the feeling that he doesn't really like us.

"Me n Kenma are neighbors." He said and I nodded.

"Cool, I wish me, Casey, and Cheyenne were neighbors." I said sadly.

Casey and Cheyenne said their goodbyes before they turned to their streets, which left me, Kuroo, and Kenma alone.

'This is so awkward! I don't know anything about these guys! What do I say! God.. why are they still here, they can't live that close to me can they? I've never seen them walking to school.' I thought as we continued walking.

"Well this is my house so-"

"This is your house?" Kuroo interrupted me and I nodded. "Cool, we're neighbors!" He happily stated as he pointed to the only house next to mine. I looked at it in shock.

'Oh God you've got to be kidding me..'

"Wow.. that's so cool!" I said as I turned to them and smiled. "... well, see yall tomorrow!" I said awkwardly as I speed-walked to my front door. From the corner of my eye I saw Kuroo and Kenma leave to go to their houses. I entered my house with a huff and the kitten greeted me with a small meow. I picked her up.

"Mom! Come on let's take her to the vet!" I shouted. A minute later my mom emerged from her bedroom and walked downstairs to greet me.

"He sweetie, come on let's go!" My mom said as she grabbed her keys.

I followed her out the door and we entered her car, I sat with the kitten in my lap and she fell asleep, purring.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

After the check-up the vet told us the kitten was fine but was slightly underfed. We took her home and made her a nice big bowl of food for her with fish and cat food. The kitten happily ate it. I sighed and began to help my mother with dinner and we talked about my day and hers. After dinner I headed upstairs to get ready for bed, the kitten came in and crawled next to me and we cuddled. That's when i suddenly remembered something very important, I hadn't named the cat. I thought about a few names, whiskers.. ew no, mittens.. meh too basic, cuddles..? Maybe.. I decided to sleep on it for now.

FUN WITH THE CAPTAINS

WHY DID I NEVER FINISH THIS? cries in lower case

You should've known better - winking at Daichi, smirking at Bokuto and teasingly wetting your lips in front of Kuroo - there just had to be consequences.

However, you were Nekoma's third-year manager, wanting to have some fun with them as this would be your last training camp. You didn't realize that they were actually flirting - unlike you, who was joking around.

Today you'd have your fun as Karasuno, Nekoma, and Fukurodani would all be in the same gym.

As you were handing out the water bottles to your team, you noticed how Bokuto looked at you from across the gym.

When you turned to Kuroo to give him his bottle, you smiled up at him, "Good luck, handsome."

You left him standing there, gazing at your retreating form. You were hoping that a specific owl-head was able to tell that you were flirting with the rooster head.

You didn't forget about the other two males, complimenting Bokuto as you walked past him, "Oh wow, Bokuto, you look really good today!"

"Thank you (Y/N), I've been training extra hard lately," He said, flexing his muscles to show off.

As some of Karasuno's first years were practicing, a volleyball was coming towards you, Daichi didn't fail to pull you away just in time.

"Thanks, Daichi," You exclaimed.

You turned your head, looking at the latter before your eyes fixed on the red handprint on your upper arm.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to grab you like that," Daichi apologized as he noticed the mark on your arm.

"Don't worry, it's alright," You smiled at him, "I wish those marks would be somewhere else, though."

You for sure didn't think that he'd hear your mumbling - but he did. 

Daichi was standing there,  rooted to the ground, wondering if that was meant to sound as suggestive as it did.

You continued to flirt with them for the rest of the day, loving to see their reactions and how much they can show off.

Once practice was officially over, you decided to stay behind to clean up as volleyballs were laying around everywhere.

You were deep in your thought, humming as you were picking up the stray volleyballs - not noticing the three figures that entered the gym.

"(Y/N), you have some explaining to do," Kuroo said as he walked closer to you.

Your lips tugged into a smile as you turned around, smirking at the three males standing in front of you. 

"Oh, and why would I have to do that?" You retorted, raising one of your eyebrows.

"Come on, we've noticed how you were acting around us," Bokuto objected, cocking his head to one side.

"Yeah, and I've heard you after that little incident," Daichi smirked at you.

It took you a minute to realize what the latter was talking about, but as soon as it clicked, you felt your cheeks heat up. 

"I was just having some fun with you guys," You told them, wondering what other reactions you could get out of them.

"Why exactly us?" Kuroo asked, looking at you with a questioning look.

"Why not?" You shrugged, "I knew that I could get a reaction out of the three of you, and you don't look too bad."

They were all looking at you with a smug expression, feeling as if you were their prey.

Daichi was slowly closing the distance, walking behind you while the others were still in front of you.

"You know, we could get the wrong idea," Bokuto warned you.

"Yeah, especially if you wish for handprints on your body," Daichi reminded you of your words as he wrapped his hand around your neck. 

He pulled you closer until your back was flush against his broad chest.

"What if I wanted you to get the wrong idea," You joked, wanting to test the waters.

Daichi tightened his grip, leaning his head closer until you could feel his breath against your skin, "We can show you."

His words surely affected you as you could feel a heat spread in your lower regions. 

Have you ever imagined getting wrecked by Daichi, Bokuto, or Kuroo? - YES.

Have you ever imagined getting wrecked by all of them at the same time? - You were right now, and you loved the thought of it.

"Then show me," You purred as you were feeling bold, earning a chuckle from all three of them. 

"As you wish, kitten," Kuroo chuckled, turning around as he was headed towards the storage room, "Come on, or do you want anyone else to join?"

Bokuto didn't hesitate to follow the rooster head, Daichi quickly picked you up as he walked over to the others.

He placed you down once you were inside - all three of them looking at you expectantly.

Kuroo cleared his throat before he teaset you, "Now, what would you want us to do with you?"

"Oh, I don't know," You flashed an innocent smile, ”I thought you’d show me.”

”Believe me, we’ll do just that, ” Daichi smirked at you.

watch out im ranting abt haikyuu

if i had to rank my favorite games, inarizaki is solid 1st place and after that its hard,,, nekoma obvi has a v special place in my heart but i usually enjoy the more fast paced crazy games more? and nekoma is a lot of kenma playing mind games 😭 and since weve Seen karasuno go against nekoma so much more than against the other teams, they go way less into the gameplay and dynamics,,

i enjoy shiratorizawa A LOOT a lot love that game,, however,, i am unfortunately the biggest kageyama enjoyer and the kind of person whose enjoyment is v reliant on the amount of participation from my blorbo,,, BUT even though its very much a tsukki game, kageyama is rlly rlly good in this one so its probably rlly up there

speaking of my kageyama fever, the seijo karasuno game (2) is up there as well,, maybe even more than shiratori not only bc theres more tobio but ALSO bc i love the seijo third years SO MUCH GODDD. iwaizumi is so amazing and i adore him so much 😭 the whole bit with him and kyotani is gold.

i think overall those r my favorite games,, and the jackals adlers game OHHHHH i cant even mention the adlers v jackals game bc ill cry,, dont even joke lad

speaking of haikyuu i cant fucking wait to go watch the movie guys im so excited i think it will change my life possibly

YAKU and his sidekicks

[iwadori]

So I'm reading your works and I love them !! I was thinking of requesting some kind of drabble or whatever you like, about a female reader who has thick thighs and is somewhat plump and is in love with Tsukishima but he makes a comment about the food and she feels bad and when she meets Bokuto in the boot camp Bokuto is too cute and attentive to her asking for her number and a date. If you don't feel comfortable with this, just ignore it and good luck with your blog. Sorry my english is bad<3

Tsukishima

You and Tsukishima have been dating in your first year (as you both went to the same middle school together.)

You were in love with Tsukishima, you always have been to be honest, but once you became officially boyfriend and girlfriend your feelings amplified.

But recently, Tsukishima hasn’t been so nice.  

“Y/N we’re going on another training camp at Nekoma” Hinata exclaimed running up to you, as you leaning against Tsukishima “and you get to come too this time!”

You recently became the new trainee manager as the third-year manager, Kikyoko, is going to graduate. Tsukishima acted as if you being around all the time in practice was the worst thing in the world, but Yamagucchi always assured you that ‘Tsukki’ was just joking.

“Oh well that’s fun...” you say entertaining Hinata’s excitement. You were kind of excited to go to the training camp too, as it was in Tokyo after all. You were always a big fan of volleyball as your dad used to play for the national team and you were planning to play on the girls team this year but you felt that you didn’t have the body for it (which was obviously not true.)

Hinata kept on rambling on before Tsukishima insulted him. “Gosh Kei, you don’t have to be so rude.” you complained, he slightly nudged you off of him and put on his headphones showing you that he was not in a good mood.

You let the rest of the practice continue, making notes of things and basically being Kiyoko’s shadow. As it ended, you waited outside for Tsukishima to walk home with you, but one of the guys told you he left 5 minutes ago. You knew there was no point of chasing after him so you just walked on your own, making you sigh in defeat.

Tsukishima was what you would describe as hot and cold. Some days he was fine a ‘perfect gentlemen’ but other days, days like this Tsukishima was just Tsukishima.  

When you got home, you decided to watch matches of all the other schools just to get some insight. You were watching a Fukarodani V Nekoma match from a few years ago and something caught your eye, well someone did to be more specific. A beefy, bicolour haired boy who was hooting like an owl was mesmerizing to watch.

You saw that his name was Bokuto Koutarou which triggered your next actions, which were to internet stalk him. You learned that he was the captain of the team and the team’s ace and the 5th ace in the country which piqued your interest in the boy even more.

‘This is going to be an exciting training camp’ you think to yourself before going to sleep.

`Kiyoko gave you an itinerary of all the things you should bring, since you weren’t going to be joining in any of the matches you were reminded to bring things that would keep entertained.  

You get to the bus at the crack of dawn, ready to be driven to Tokyo. Hinata and Kageyama were already arguing (let’s pretend that they didn’t have to do the retakes in the test) Tanaka and Nishinoya were being loud, and the rest of the members were already asleep. You wanted to sit next to Tsukishima but when you were about to sit down, he put his carryon bag in the seat next to him.

The bus ride was around 4-5 hours, and you spent your time reading and sleeping. Daichi got the loudmouths to calm down making the bus ride more tolerable. You suffered from slight motion sickness but you powered through.

When you arrived there, you saw all the other teams and their buses too. You felt a bit overwhelmed, seeing these tall boys just crowd around an entrance way. But too your surprise, noticing your slight anxiousness, Tsukishima grabbed your hand in a hand-hold.  

The Nekoma coach, explained how the day would pan out and where each team would be residing for the week. There was a lot of commotion getting everyone settled, Hinata and Nishinoya were basically bouncing off of the wall commenting on all the people and the place and how they’re going to ‘crush the competition.’  

You could tell that when the other teams were looking at Karasuno they were all staring at Kiyoko. Inquisitive about how there wasn’t only one girl manager but there was two. As you were walking your eyes locked with Bokuto Koutarou’s making yours widen, you blush and turn your head quickly.  

What you didn’t know was, after your small interaction, Bokuto elbowed Akaashi and said “Akaaashi AKKAAASHI, did ya see that? did ya?” he was flying with happiness “That girl from Karasuno smiled at me. She’s really pretty.”

“I think she’s from Karasuno” Akaashi said “So maybe you’ll see her around”

Bokuto stared off in the direction you were walking in “Yeah, hopefully.”

The first day, everyone got settled in and then the teams went straight into games. There were two different gyms and today, in gym 1, you were watching Karasuno V Nekoma. (By the way I literally don’t remember the teams at the training camp besides Nekoma, Karasuno and Fukarodani.) The game was very back a point each team making point after point, you already knew of Nekoma’s captain, Kuroo Testurou and the setter Kenma, you’ve actually played games with Kenma online before so you were fairly acquainted with him already.

The games ended and it was now dinner time, the canteen was packed with all the boys rushing to line up for the food. You waited at the back of the line, not really caring about when you got your food. Suddenly, you felt a tap on your shoulder and you looked over to see Boktuo,  

“Hi.” he said “I’m Bok-”

“Bokuto Koutarou!” You finished “I'm a big fan..” you cringed immediately at your excitement ‘pull it together Y/N’ you scold yourself.

“Oh well hi, I’m glad you know who I am” he said “and may I ask for your name?”  

“Oh I’m Y/N L/N” you say with a slight blush “I'm the trainee manager from Karasuno.”  

“Cool! Well I hope to see you aro-” he starts  

“Y/N, I’ve been looking all over for you, I already got your food for you.” Tsukishima said pulling at your arm a bit harshly, dragging you over to a table with the Karasuno team.

“Gosh Tsukki, no need to be so harsh” you say rubbing at your wrist, he didn’t apologize and just started eating his food.  

You look down at your plate and see the small portion that Tsukki got for you. The Karasuno bunch was being loud, as they usually are, so when you whisper “Tsukki what the fuck is this” whilst nudging him in the side, he didn’t hear you (or atleast he pretended he didn’t.) You tried again but a little louder saying, “Tsukishima what the fuck is this.” you realised you said it a bit too loud as the whole Karasuno table stopped their conversations to look over at the slight commontion you caused.

“What do you mean Y/N?” he said with a slight smirk on his face.

“I mean what’s with the portion size of a bird that you gave me?” you ask getting upset “Do you really think im that big?”

“Well, you could start eating less that’s for sure.” he said earning gasps from you and some of the people sitting at the table “Y/N let's face it, you eat like a pig and you look like an elephant, me making your food portion smaller is the least I could do.”  

By now you had tears in your eyes, Tsukishima was a dick. You knew this, everybody knew this to be honest, yet you still loved him. He wasn’t like this in middle school, yes he was a bit snarky and rude (but wasn’t every middle schooler?) High school Tsukishima was like a completely different person. As much as you wanted to run away and hide, you knew you couldn’t.  

So you stood up and said “Tsukishima, I’ve spent 3 years loving and pining after you, because I thought you were this great guy, but turns out you’re a huge asshole” you start making some of the people listening in smile in laughter “Tsukishima, I’ve hated this past year dating you, you’ve been such a huge dick and I’m finally stopping you. I can’t do this anymore. I won’t.” You start making your way to exit before finally saying “Oh and by the way I’m not the pig here, you are... oh and I’m breaking up with you.” You left, hearing a few laughs and some claps behind you.

You felt relieved, like the massive cloud that’s been over your head is finally gone. You went to the gym since you knew it was empty and picked up a ball to just throw it around a bit. After a while of ‘de-stressing,’ you hear someone else enter the gym.

“Oh I didn’t know you’d be here.” said Bokuto  

“Well here I am,” you say awkwardly “I can leave if you want me too, I know this is for actual volleyball players.”

“No no it’s fine you can definitely stay, in fact do you mind setting for me?” he asks  

“Sure, of course I don’t mind” you reply, excited you get to play with someone.  You haven’t played in ages, you always begged Tsukishima to just throw a ball around with you but he never did.  

You set to Boktuo a lot, with him always asking for ‘another one’ everytime he spiked the ball. Eventually, you were tired of setting and wanted to spike. You originally was a spiker to begin with taking after your dad. Thats why you took a liking to Bokuto in the first place cause he reminded you of the joys you had when watching your father play.

Bokuto set a ball to you and you spiked it with great strength and accuracy smiling at the burning feeling you felt in your palm.  

“Woahh” Bokuto shouted going towards you in amazement “Where did you learn how to spike like that?”

“From my dad, I don’t know if you heard of him before but my dad’s name is D/N L/N...?” you say

“D/N L/N, Y/N he is my idol!” he shouted again “I want to be just like him.”

“I think you can, I see a lot of similarites in the way you both play.” you say

“Really! And you’ve seen me play before..?” he asks

“Yeah, I watched some of your games before coming here... you’re really good” you shyly admit.

“Wow.”

You and Bokuto spend the rest of your time, talking about volleyball you’re interests, things you have in common, your likes and dislikes. Talking to Bokuto was refreshing, he didn’t randomly insult you or make snide comments about your weight or your looks. He just genuinely looked happy to be there talking to you, unlike Tsukishima.  

Seeing your change in mood, Bokuto stops talking and asks “are you alright? I forgot to ask earlier, but I saw what happened in the canteen and I hope you’re okay.”  

“Yeah I’m fine, it’s just things with me and Tsukishima reached a breaking point, I guess...” you say sniffling a bit talking about it “But it’s fine now I’ve broken up with him and I feel better already.”

“So you’re saying your single...?” he asked blushing a bit

“Yeah I guess I am...” you smile blushing also.  

“Okay great...well I hope this isn’t too forward after everything happened with Tsukki and all but...” he starts “but would you like to go on a date with me?”

“Who me?” you ask as if you weren’t the only other person in the room

“No the volleyball” he responds sarcastically “Of course you Y/N.”  

“Are you sure, cause to be honest Bokuto you’re a really good-looking guy” you say making him smile widely “so I think you need someone to match your level in attractiveness” you look down and his smile drops.

“What do you mean?” he asks before realising all the stuff Tsukishima said about you “Y/N you’re beautiful, your face, your body just you.” you blush at his words “when I first saw you when you were walking past us in the entrance way the first thing I thought and said about you was “Akaashi who is that girl she’s beautiful.””  

“Really?” you ask with disbelief

“Mhm” he nods excitedly “So will you go on a date with me?”  

“I guess so...” you say a bit unsure

“HEY HEY HEY!” he exclaims “I gotta go tell akaashi!” he runs out of the gym in a hurry making you laugh, but he comes back to give you a quick unexpected kiss on the cheek making you smile.

You checked your phone for the time realising that you’ve been with Bokuto for 3 hours and you knew that everyone would be going to sleep now. As you are the manager you slept seperately from the rest of the team but before you went to your sleeping quaters you went to Karasunos.  

“Y/N where have you been? We’ve been worried about you.” asked yammagucchi  

“It’s fine yams don’t worry about it, guys” you say catching everyones attention “I just wanted to apologise to you for my outburst at dinner, it wasn’t my intention to cause a scence.”

“It’s fine Y/N” said sugawara “He definitely deserved it.”

“Yeah as your marvellous senpai we gave him a good telling off” said Tanaka and Nishinoya  making you chuckle.  

“Okay well thanks guys, I’m going to sleep goodnight.”

“Wait Y/N can I speak with you.” asked Tsukishima gesturing to outside the room

“Umm sure” you respond following him into the corridor.

“I just want to say I’m sorry for the things I’ve said and done over the past year and how I’ve been a terrible boyfriend, you don’t deserve that. So, I’m sorry.”  

“I can’t say I can forgive you yet.” you say making Tsukishima look sad “but maybe with effort from you we can become friends possibly?”  

“Just friends?” he said with hope in voice thinking that you could be something more.

“Just friends.” you repeated and confirmed “Besides I have been asked on a date”  

“With who?”  

“None of your business stingyshima” you mock the nickname that Hinata calls him making him scowl and you smile “Goodnight.”

After Bokuto’s confession and Tsukishima’s apology, the rest of the training camp went off without a hitch. In your breaks and lunchtimes, you got to know more about Bokuto and with Kuroo’s help you even got to sneak out to actually go on your date. You sometimes even went to practice with them getting to show off your skills, with Bokuto cheering you on and complimenting you every single time.  

Tsukishima kept his distance for the most part, and kept the snarky comments about you and Bokuto to himself (even though he was dying to say them.) You eventually fully forgave Tsukishima in your 3rd year but you definitely weren’t as close as you used to be. Tsukishima’s comments and actions did affect you for a while however with the help of your loving boyfriend, you were reminded how beautiful you are no matter what weight, shape or height you were.

You and Bokuto stayed together, you made sure to come to every one of his games and when you introduced him to your dad he fainted on sight. Your dad and Bokuto got along, and became very close friends, Bokuto always came to him for advice (especially volleyball advice.) You loved Bokuto and he definitely loved you too.

AN: I hope you liked it, since I didn’t want to make it too similar too the Atsumu insecure one. And I feel like it dragged out a bit but got rushed in the endd....but oh well...

[ideks-on-mars]

Or perhaps… 2nd gen captains headcanons 👀👀👀👀 i love them with my whole ass heart

More for yoom-ss because they and the future caps deserve the world

ANYWAYS 2ND GEN CAPTAINS HCS LET'S GO!!!

- They're all depressed teenagers, what can I say 💀

- THEY'RE TRYING THEIR BEST FUCK

- They've all, no matter who, have cried themselves to sleep wondering how the hell they're going to live up to their previous captains

- Yamamoto and Seguro try to keep up the Nekoma/Nohebi rivalry but in all honesty they really don't hate each other. They try so hard to act like they hate each other, they don't 💀

- Meanwhile Shirabu and Yahaba's rivalry is worse than Ushijima and Oikawa's

- They've fist fought

- Shirabu ended up breaking Yahaba's nose. Yahaba doesn't like to talk about it.

- Akaashi's used to this. He was pretty much the captain last year. He's got this in the bag.

- At least he thinks he does until he meets the crazy first years who think they're "2 cool 4 skool 🥶🥶🥶💢💢💢🔥🔥💯💯‼️😩💦💦"

- Akaashi kicks their asses dw

- Atsumu wants to be intimidating, and he is the the first years. The other new third years don't take him seriously at all. (Especially Osamu and Suna, they laugh at him when he tells them to do something)

- Ennoshita's on the verge of becoming an alcoholic with how his team stresses him out. He's terrifying tho.

- One time he slapped Kageyama upside his head when he was giving him attitude and he was quiet for the rest of the day. (Ennoshita felt bad later once he realized that he hurt Kageyama's feelings more than anything)

- Hirugami is pretty composed about it. He's doing his best. However, he tends to get burned out more often now that he has to guide the whole team.

- Atema is starting to blow up often. At his teammates. Some of the fellow third years have to calm him down. Quite frequently at that. He makes sure to remind his underclassmen that he's just very passionate and cares about them getting better.

- Usuri is scary to the new babies too 😭 they all call him intimidating and he never understands why. Also, another setter captain. So many setters.

- Sakusa is honestly not very good at the captain business. He's not very open with anything at all. Good thing we got Komori to help ✋️💀

- Terushima is having the time of his life, he loves being the captain so much 😪✨️ "Let's go fuck some shit up guys, woo-hoo! :D"

- Yuzuru is constantly on the verge when it comes to the fucks he has to lend. Especially with Hyakuzawa. He has been since he started the captain business in his second year. He's honestly about to send a letter to the previous third years apologizing for being a brat in his first and second year. He tries his best to be nice 😭

- All the other captains just wanna die

- anYWAYS

- Futakuchi probs causes the most fights within the group. He's an asshole 💀 it doesn't combine well with how temptable Yamamoto and Seguro are

- Shirabu, Yuzuru, and Usuri get along well. Almost too well. It's scary. They act like the group of mean kids that live on you're block that torment you and your friends.

- Akaashi and Ennoshita get along pretty well too. They just wanna relax

- Atsumu and Yahaba don't like each other 💀 probably because Yahaba is lowkey a mini Oikawa 😭

- Yamamoto and Terushima are straight ANIMALS like nothing can stop those two. Add Seguro into the mix and they're bouncing off the walls

- Futakuchi and Shirabu don't really like each other, but when they team up? Oh someone's gonna die

- Atsumu really admires Akaashi. He thinks he's really cool 😭 little does he know about Akaashi thinking he's admirable too

- The vice caps get along better than all of them 💀 it's funny with STZW and AJ cuz Yahaba and Shirabu will be staring each other down meanwhile Taichi, Watari, and Kyōtani will be sitting down talking about their Spotify playlists

- Tanaka and Fukunaga get along well too! Tanaka thinks his jokes are genuinely funny and I find that adorable

- Aone kicks it with them too sometimes. He likes their good, happy vibes.

- Shirabu and Ennoshita have laid back in lawn chairs (accompanied by Kawanishi cuz he gets out of stuff) and watched as their team ran multiple laps around the track field.

- The caps are all trying their very best 😭 it's so hard honestly and they just want a break

- Sometimes for team bonding their teammates buy their food just cuz, it's so sweet

- Future caps >>>>> anything else
