Haikyuu x reader new years HC

Tendo

• "What if they think I'm a monster?" The redhead mumbled to himself, pacing back and forth.

• He was currently alone in his house, trying to work up the courage to ask you out at the Shiratorizawa new years party. All he had to do was head down to the dorm lobby and he'd be there, so he couldn't be late.

• He just didn't want to make a fool of himself if you were to reject him.

• His hands are very sweaty and he fidgets with the bandages around his fingers which he had forgotten to take off from yesterday's practice match.

• He runs a hand through his hair, god why was he so nervous? You were just some person, why did was he overthinking this so much?

• He's snapped out of his thoughts by a knock on the door. He opens his eyes wide, slowly walking over to open the door. He stops in his tracks.

• It was you.

• Why were you here?

• "Hey y/n! Why aren't you at the party?" He asked, tilting his head, he stepped outside so the two of you could talk in the hall.

• "I just hadn't seen you around the party and thought I'd check on you" you spoke, looking up at him. You would have assumed he would have loved the atmosphere. Maybe you didn't know your crush all too well..

• "Oh!! Yeah I was just about to leave. Let's go y/n!!" He said, grabbing a hold of your hand and dragging you back to the party.

• You giggled as he dragged you back to where you once were with such excitement. He was so fun and happy. You wanted to spend every year of your life with him.

Goshiki

• This precious boy is nervous

• He's shaking and he's so jumpy

• You two are at a new years party with Shiratorizawa, you two were hanging out as friends.

• Little did you know the wannabe ace had feelings for you, and at the moment Tendo was hyping him up so he could kiss you at the stroke of midnight.

• Grabbing yourself a drink and sitting down, you look down at your phone and smile as everyone has fun, you looked around, yet couldn't find Goshiki.

• A sigh escaped your lips, your hand running through your hair as you looked around.

• Looking down at the clock you glance at the time

• The clock read 11:56pm, four minutes until the new year. God, would some stranger try to kiss you? Ugh, sounds awful.

• You look up to see a very stiff Goshiki, a pink tint on his face as he slowly sits down next to you.

• A smile greets your face. "Hey Tomu, where have you been?" You asked

• He jumped from hearing your voice, "I uh, I was talking to Satori-san!" He explained, which wasn't wrong but he may not have given you every detail.

• You chuckled, looking over at him, "okay, just don't leave me for such a long time, I got so bored without you!" You said extending your arm over the couch.

• "Yeah, I won't do it again, I promise" he said, you noted how stiff and uncomfortable he looked.

• Roughly 3 minutes passed and you noticed it was 30 seconds until midnight, wow time really does fly by.

• You look at Goshiki, he's twiddling with his thumbs, and he keeps glancing at you.

• You hear people start to count down, mostly Tendo shouting just to keep things entertaining

• 10!

• 9!

• 8!

• 7!

• 6!

• 5!

• 4!

• 3!

• 2!

• You feel lips crash against yours, your eyes widen looking to see who had just kissed you. And.. it was Goshiki.

• You were speechless. You had never considered dating him, but, he was always so sweet to you, and he hadn't done anything wrong. Plus he was pretty cute. You smile into the kiss, playing with his hair. You could hear Tendo snickering from across the room.

Ushijima

• Today was the day

• It was the perfect opportunity to ask out the head of Shiratorizawas volleyball team

• That's right, Ushijima Wakatoshi, the man of your dreams

• Sure he wasn't normally your type, but there was something about him that made him special. There was something to him that made him seem special. He was so.. cool? You never knew how to describe him.

• The Shiratorizawa dormitory was hosting a new years party in the lobby, you put on one of your best outfits, you felt confident in your charisma to speak to your crush, which the male lacked.

• Glancing at the time, you read the clock.

• Shit

• 11:58 the clock read

• Oh shit, you spent so much time getting ready, you had completely lost track of time.

• You rushed outside of your dorm, you were so stupid!!

• As you rushed out to the party, you felt a sudden thud as you collided into a large mass.

• You fell to the ground, looking up you saw him, Ushijima. He stared down at you, an almost unapologetic look on his face.

• "Oh. Are you alright?" He asked, extending a hand, which you eagerly took, he hoisted you up back to your feet.

• "I.. yeah I'm fine, why aren't you downstairs with everyone else?" You asked, looking up at the tall man, you were confused as to why he could possibly be here.

• He was about to answer before you remembered your purpose, "nevermind, what time is it?" You asked.

• "It's 10 seconds until midnight, what is the significance of wanting to know the time so late at night?" He asked.

• "Okay listen Ushiwaka, I need to tell you something. I really really like you, and I'd like to start the new year with you" you spoke, looking up at him. You were embarrassed, but proud of yourself.

• You watched him kneel down to your height, placing a kiss on your lips, he pulled away slowly, but made sure it wasn't too long.

Asahi

• Homeboy is stressed

• Currently Noya is trying to hype him up outside of the gym, since that was where Kurasuno's volleyball team wanted to have a party, and though it wasn't actually going to be a real party at midnight since most had to spend time with their family, they would still have a fun time during daylight.

• He definitely dressed way too formal for this, it was supposed to be casual but he showed up in a fancy suit, his hair all fancy, trimming his beard.

• He was ready to ask you out physically, but no where close mentally.

• Meanwhile you were inside the gym speaking to Yachi and Kiyoko, chatting about your new years resolutions and what you had planned for family. You guys agreed to all spend some time after the party and go out and have some extra fun.

•  Soon, everyone had arrived, music was playing loudly around the gym, cheap colorful lights for decoration, Takeda and Ukai actually weren't there, they were getting drunk together somewhere in town.

• The time was roughly 4:30, a pretty good time for teenagers to enjoy themselves at a party. Asahi was standing in the corner, Sugawara was helping him this time.

• You glanced at the two, Asahi was looking more.. intriguing today, he looked nice, but nervous, was he planning on asking someone out?

• You pondered this though, glancing over at the two, Asahi had a bright blush on his face, and Suga seemed confident in what he was saying.

• Asahi was soon pushed out back into somewhere close to the center, Suga laughed as he watched the male walk timidly in your direction.

• You tilt your head in confusion, but before you had time to process what he could ever possibly be doing, he was already right in front of you.

• "Y/n, I need to speak with you in private.. is that alright with you?" He asked, you nodded, allowing him to take you to a more secluded area of the gym.

• "I..I really like you y/n! I'd like to spend my life with you! If.. that's okay of course." He spoke.

• You chuckled. Kissing this tip of his nose, "Asahi, you're really sweet, ya know that?" Accepting his confession.

• You swore his face was red for a whole week

Suga

• Oh boy he's cocky.

• Not cocky in a way that he was bragging, but he was definitely confident in his charismatic ability to woo you.

• At least that's what he said to Daichi

• Don't get him wrong, he wasn't scared like Asahi

• Confidently walking into the Kurasuno Gym where a party was being hosted for the team, he noticed you were off more to the side.

• As Suga entered, you were thinking about how you would ask him out.

• A face dusted in pink once you both msre eye contact, Asahi had dragged the grey haired male off to the corner as he spoke about his crush, giving him some advice he pushed the taller male towards his crush.

• He laughed as he watched Asahi stumble towards his crush, he went off to do his own job.

• Walking up to you, he extended a hand towards you, "care to dance?" He asked, as a very spunky song started to play.

• The two of you danced around, laughing together, people watch, and though no one joined in, no one seemed to laugh or make fun if you.

• After the song was coming to an end, the male leaned in close, mumbling a quiet, "can I kiss you?" You nodded, your lips colliding into a passionate yet caring kiss.

Kiyoko

• Oh my god

• Can I just say

• This woman is the definition of gorgeous

• Btw in this story you're a girl because I think the only man Kiyoko could get with is Tanaka and otherwise she loves women.

• I love her so much

• And so do you, she is the light of your life. She's so pretty, and kind. She inspires you to do things you'd never do.

• The two of you were leaving the Kurasuno party to go to the sauna for an hour, though Yachi had to cancel because her mother was finally home for the day, the two of you decided to enjoy yourselves and have some girl time alone together.

• Once arriving at the sauna, you two rented out a personal bath, undressing yourselves you two got into the warm water.

• A sigh of relief escaped Kiyokos lips, she was definitely stressed due to having to deal with a whole team of volleyball players.

• You noticed her legs were pulled up to her chest. "Your legs, they're covered in scars. I heard you used to do track and field but I didn't think they'd leave that big of a mark." You said.

• The females ears perked up as you spoke. "Oh, yeah. I fall quite often, I used to be so clumsy back then." She giggled, tucking some stray hair back from behind her ear.

• "Well, whether you like them or not I think they're beautiful. Scars make people unique." You said with a smile.

• Kiyoko smiled, looking over at you. "Thank you, y/n. Your way with words really amazes me." She said, turning to face you.

• Time passed, the two of you spoke, laughing and enjoying yourselves. Once you two were about to leave, Kiyoko stops you.

• "Before we depart, we should definitely hang out together a lot more. I like spending time with you alone."

Lev

• Oh boy

• This man

• this stupid lanky man, doesn't even realize he has a crush on you.

• Yaku literally had to spell it out for him and he still didn't understand

• "Wait.. I'm in love with y/n? That isn't possible, I mean sure I get really happy when I see them, and they're really fun to be around! But I don't like them like that."

• Yaku had to go through so much to get it through his thick skull, "that idiot, those two of you are so dumb neither would even notice." He mumbled.

• Now as Yaku mentioned earlier, the two of you are actual idiots, two dumbasses who keep eachother somewhat out of trouble.

• Kuroo was hosting a party at his house for the team, and being their manager you were invited as well.

• Knocking on the door, you were one of the last to show up to the party, as Kuroo opened the door, you walked inside and saw him.

• "Lev!!!!" You shouted excitedly, jumping into his arms, wrapping the Russian in a hug as if you didn't see him yesterday.

• "Y/n!!!" The male cheered, picking you up and whirling you around. He was happy to see you, barely even thinking about what Yaku had said about the two of you both having mutual feeling which neither of you even knew about.

• The Nekoma party was going well, Kuroo was chatting with most of the team, Kenma was sitting in Kuroos room avoiding people, Yaku kept to himself, sometimes glaring at lev when he was being an idiot.

• The sun had set long ago, and the team was preparing to count ten seconds to midnight.

• As the countdown began, you and Lev shouted and cheered the numbers in unison, but just as soon as everyone was about to shout "1" you felt a small palm grip the back of your head and push your lips into the silver haired males.

• Pulling away with a laugh, you noticed that Yaku had a grip on both of your heads, the shorter male had forced the two of you into a kiss, which unsurprisingly both of you enjoyed.

• "That was fun y/n! Let's do it again!" He cheered, a large smile on his face.

Aone

• Similar to Asahi, my homeboy is nervous

• He struggled to show it, but he does love you, he just doesn't know what to do about the growing sickness in his stomach when he sees you.

• Luckily he got some help from the internet, telling how to flirt with his crush.

• Though date tech wasn't hosting a party or anything, you had invited him over to your house to hang out for new years. Since your parents were out of town, you two had the night to yourselves.

• You heard a knock on your door, upon opening it you looked up to see the tall male which you had invited.

• "Oh! Hey Takanobu, come inside. You arrived later than I had expected, I didn't think you'd even show up!" You laughed, walking him up to your room so the two of you could relax.

• "I'm sorry, should I have.. shown up sooner?" He asked, and before he could let you answer he remembered he had brought you something. "I brought you flowers, is that okay? I heard most people enjoy them on occasions like this." He spoke in such a soft tone, needing reassurance for his actions. He was stiff, standing awkwardly at the door of your bedroom.

• You smiled, reassuring him that you were very thankful. You gestured him to sit on your bed with you, you hoped he'd make himself comfortable in your home.

• As he sat down, you smiled. The two of you spoke for hours, never once was it awkward for either of you. I guess that's why Aone loved you, you were so easy to talk to, and you could always hold a conversation with him.

• As time went on, neither of you seemed to realize just how late it was, you had spoken for so long that you lost track of time.

• In a small break of silence, the larger male spoke up.

• "Y/n, I've.. known you for quite some time and though I may be scary, and you might hate me, I wanted to say that I like you a lot. I'd like to see you as more than a friend." He spoke, a furiously red blush coating his cheeks as he sputtered out the words that came to his mind.

• You giggle, looking up at him you kiss him on the cheek, "I could never be afraid of you, Aone, you're one of the sweetest people I know. I like you too." You spoke with a smile, looking down you checked the time.

• "That kiss was right on time I guess. It's exactly midnight!"

15, 20, 33 and 56 for Tomu! :D

15. What battle in the campaign has been most memorable to your character?

There are many good ones to choose from, so let's go with a very recent one! The party had taken on a bounty hunting gig that lead them into a hidden laboratory complex of a lawless master mechanic. The place was brimming with traps and heavily armed minions, so a couple of the party members were already beat to shit at this point. They found a relatively safe hiding hole to rest for a while, but Tomu wanted to keep exploring while the rest of them were licking their wounds. There were fun little mechanical spiders here, and so many fun varieties of explosives, and she really wanted, no, needed to see everything right away! So she got turned invisible by the druid/warlock B'Tuin and went exploring ahead.

Only a couple rooms away from their resting place she found their mark, all alone and not noticing invisible Tomu sneaking around. This was just too good of a chance to pass up on - surely Tomu could take this villainous elder gnome down all by herself. So, with the element of surprise on her side, she tried to sneak up on the gnome and pour a magical sleep-inducing potion in his mouth... and failed miserably in doing this.

The alarmed gnome didn't attack Tomu right away, but went and hid into this big metal construct on legs that could move and fight on his behalf (fantasy mech suit! how cool is that!!) and only then attacked. The rest of the party heard the commotion and rushed to help Tomu, their short rest sadly interrupted.

The mech was a challenging opponent, and two out of five members of the party were not in great fighting condition to begin with, so they really had to use their brains with this one. So there was a lot of moving around the room while everyone was trying to find a safe place to stay in. There were bombs thrown about! And did I mention the Giant Mech we were fighting against! Everything here was just so so so inspiring for Tomu (and as a player it was a super fun battle). But yeah, what really made this one memorable over everything else was the fact that this one was 100% Tomu's fault. Her dear friends got into serious trouble just because she didn't want to hang around while they were catching their breath.

I think she might've learned something from this experience. (and she got to throw some cool ass bombs towards a giant robot, what's not to like)

20. What is the biggest mistake your character has ever made?

Oof. I'll tell you the tale of what happened to the temple town of Othe, because. Well. Even if it was an accident (and technically a group effort), the sheer magnitude of this one leaves no room for any other answer.

The party was searching for shattered fragments of a primordial titan to help B'Tuin in his research of them. And they found one, in an ancient underground ruin near the town of Othe. There was only a slight problem: the fragment, resembling a vaguely round blob of black stone, was seamlessly attached to a huge stone altar and thus impossible to move around.

The party tried a few different ways to remove the blob, none of them working. Then, in a random fit of inspiration, our cleric Musta tried to lick the stone (idk, must be a tabaxi thing) and immediately fell unconscious when every bit of moisture from her body was sucked into the stone through her tongue. The blob was thirsty.

While the rest of the group was working on getting Musta back up, Tomu tried out a couple of things with the blob. Spitting on it didn't have much of a reaction, apart from the wet mark disappearing into its mass in a split second. Maybe emptying her water skin into the blob would be a good start? So Tomu poured all of her drinking water onto it, all of it getting sucked in like she expected.

And suddenly the blob's thirst seemed to be quenched, and it came free from the altar with a soft little 'plop' sound. Tomu picked it up and handed it to visibly delighted B'Tuin. No one really paid mind to the small but deep hole left in the altar on the blob's place. Their job here was done, it was time to get back to Othe.

Their preparations for leaving were interrupted by the sound of rushing water. A few heartbeats after they heard it, the small hole in the altar started spouting water with impossible speed. And when I say impossible, I mean impossible: the room they were in was vast, more of a great hall than a room, and the cave system behind it even greater than that, and still, within minutes the water level was reaching their ankles, their shins, and kept rising fast.

So they ran. They climbed higher and higher in the tunnels, just barely keeping ahead of the all-consuming water masses rushing behind them. It was a narrow escape, but finally they got out of the caves and climbed to safety on a tall cliffside. Here out in the open, the water couldn't rise as fast, there was simply too much ground for it to cover.

But here's the thing about Othe. The town is built on a lake, on a series of small islands connected by bridges, and the lake is surrounded by hills and mountains on all sides. The place is essentially a bottom of a very big bowl. And there was a lot of water heading into that bowl.

There was really nothing the party could do at this point, as the water mass underneath them was roaring and snapping trees in half and moving boulders from their places. There were even giant sharks and various other sea creatures apparating seemingly out of nowhere into this great whirpool of death. They could only watch from afar, as the water on the lake surrounding Othe rose higher and higher, until nothing remained but the very tops of the town's tallest towers. The ancient town with all of its people was essentially wiped out of the map in less than an hour.

Tomu doesn't really like to think about this one. Unfortunately everyone else in the party is talking about it a lot, it really left a scar in everyone so it's not that easy to repress this one into oblivion. It might've been a complete accident, and someone else on the party would've certainly removed the blob if she hadn't, but. You can't really hide behind any excuse when you've drowned an entire city.

33. What person does your character admire most?

This is a tough one to think about! For the longest time in her backstory era there was such an easy and obvious answer to this: Augusterius Harha, her mentor AND best friend, and at least in Tomu's eyes, the most powerful person on this side of Imperium. And after that relationship and admiration came to a sudden and horrid stop, she's been quite wary of holding anyone in similarly high regard.

Her traveling party would be the most obvious choice, especially her new BFF Kato, our barbarian, whom she absolutely adores with every fibre of her being. She just gets kind of weird about "putting people to that kind of pedestal" (her words, not mine. it's like she sees admiration as something inherently hierarchical and thus not fit for equal partnerships).

But there was a wizard in Nicodranas, Yussa Errenis*, who was the employer of the party for a short while. This dude owned an entire city district! AND a cool super special magic tower in the middle of said district! This is something to be admired in Tomu's eyes, this is the level of power and fortune she wants to have when she grows up.

*it's fun to have a campaign set in Wildemount, we get to occasionally meet famous NPCs from the source material :3

56. When they were a child, what did your character want to be, or think they were going to be, when they grew up?

Tomu's parents were running a fairly successful general store, and Tomu was very much raised with the intention that she would one day take on the family business alongside her sister. She wanted nothing to do with this plan - the honorable profession of a trader was a Boring one! She wanted to have some action in her life! To see places! To see people who weren't here to buy turnips or knitting needles!

So she spent a lot of time dreaming about running away from home and joining a traveling circus or theatre troupe. She probably would've done it, too, if she wasn't suddenly swept away to a life of crime (and later, adventure) instead.
