[ part one ]

— summary: after fucking up, you make it your mission to get him back..(im so bad at this pls just- okay.)

"He's not picking up, Hana", you say, another soft cry falling from your lips before you bury your face in your pillow.

“Once in my fucking life a guy treats me good and the way I've always wanted to be treated and I had to fuck it up. Why the fuck am I like this, Hana? Why can I not enjoy one fucking good thing in my fucking mediocre life", the profanities keep coming just like the tears and the amount of frustration and anger rushing through your veins is nowhere near normal anymore.

"Calm down, love", Hana sighs and makes you sit up so she can look into your tear stained face as she tries her best to make sure her words actually find their way to your pain clouded mind, "at this point you shouldn't worry too much because you do know Kyoutani, don't you? He does lose his temper a lot, so give him the time he needs and then you'll show up at his doorstep, suck his cock and make up with him, yeah?", she explains calmly.

"If this hurts you so much, why the fuck did you even say he's just a friend, Y/N? I really don't understand", Hana mumbles and lets out another sigh, her hands caressing yours softly, managing to calm you down a little bit.

“You're right, I should just– give him some time and things will eventually fall into place", you reply after crying a little more and with an encouraging smile your best friend nods at you before she suggests a movie marathon to which you happily agree.

At least something to distract you from all the demons inside your head.

After changing into your pj's and doing your night time routine, you plop down onto the couch next to your bestie again, her eyes focused on the phone in her hand and knowing she's probably either sexting or inviting her new boyfriend has you shrugging at her lack of attention as you start looking for a good movie to begin the night with.

However, just when you're about to read the description of some kind of french rom-com, Hana puts her phone back into her lap and starts staring at you with her pretty eyes widened in shock.

"What's wrong?", you ask and turn to look at her, reaching for her hands but before you even get the chance to touch her, Hana unlocks her phone and holds it up for you to watch someone's instagram story.

The video begins with loud music, a crowd full of young college students whose faces definitely are familiar.

Everyone in the video is dancing, making out, smoking and just chatting in a random living room and every now and then there's someone yelling in the back – a typical college party.

However, just as the video is about to end, the camera shifts to a tall male leaning against the wall, obviously standing really close to the person who's filming and it takes you a full blown thirty seconds to realize who said male is.

Kyoutani Kentarou.

You stare at the phone for another minute, your throat dry and your head empty as a thick veil of tears slowly starts blurring your sight before you finally decide to pay attention to the username.

"He can't be fucking serious", you hiss, fisting the blanket beneath you, the urge to punch something or someone becoming unbearable, "what the fuck is he doing at a random college party with – Sora?"

"Y/N, don't–", "Whose party is that?", you interrupt your best friend, not giving a single fuck about her attempts to calm you down; not anymore. Hana gulps harshly and strictly avoids your gaze as she mumbles a name and you roll your eyes, asking her to speak up with an annoyed sigh.

"It's one of Yuuji’s frat parties", and as soon as your best friend says the name of your ex-boyfriend, a cold shiver of disgust runs down your spine and you can feel yourself getting lightheaded from all the emotions rushing through your overwhelmed body.

"Don't follow me if you're going to stop me from leaving, Hana", you say and stand up before quickly disappearing inside your room.

You have no idea how you manage to get dressed, your outfit consisting of a pair of jeans and a hoodie you can't even remember buying and you don't even wanna think about what your hair and face look like when you end up leaving the house with your keys and your phone.

After driving this route for over two years on an almost daily basis, it takes you less than ten minutes to arrive in front of the huge house your ex-boyfriend lives in.

The memories start finding their way back into your head way too fast, taking away your breath and numbing your whole body because even if you didn’t love Yuuji anymore, the bitter feeling of betrayal still manages to hit you in just the right way.

It takes you a lot of willpower to actually approach the house and eventually get in. And after being in between the crowds of drunk, stinky college students, you remember why you hate college parties so much.

"I – Wow”, a familiar voice manages to break through the loud music, your instant reaction just an annoyed eye roll, “you were the last person I expected to see at one of our frat parties", Yuuji says and comes to stand in front of you.

His blonde hair messily falling into his handsome face and from the way his whole face seems to be covered in the deepest shade of red – including his eyes – you know that he's probably higher than the stars and you can't help but sigh.

"I'm not here to party, Yuuji", you hiss, feeling the anger crawl up your spine again the longer you look at your ex, "my boyfriend is here and I have to talk to him."

"So you and that tattooed guy are actually a thing? Didn't think so since he, you know – showed up with another girl", Terushima mumbles and pulls out a cigarette from his pocket, a mischievous smile on his lips.

"Oh, shut the fuck up, Yuuji", you spit back and roll your eyes, taking in the way the pretty boy arches his brows up in pure shock at your rather new attitude, "go and get high or whatever you do to feel proud of yourself", are the last words you say to him before you walk away, your heart thrumming inside your throat.

Your eyes roam the huge crowd, desperately searching for the only face you wanna look at right now and you try to remember where they were standing in the video Sora had posted only to realize that you can't remember.

After all you only watched the video once, your whole attention laying on Kyoutani. And after almost fifteen minutes, you find yourself slowly giving up.

Maybe this was just not meant to happen or maybe Kyoutani has left already.

He probably left with Sora- something you can’t and won’t ever blame him for.

After all she's literally one of the prettiest and hottest girls you have ever seen – anyone who rejects her would be out of their mind (or not attracted to girls which isn't the case when it comes to Kyoutani).

You give it another ten minutes of desperately looking around before you let out a deep sigh which gets lost in the loudness and thick air of the party before you finally start making your way back to the front door.

You quickly walk back to your car, trying your best to ignore everyone around you, especially all the drunk guys who are currently about to get into a verbal fight over something totally random and the last thing you want to experience those threats becoming reality.

At some point you're scared they might even include you which is probably why you end up literally sprinting and even though you always park so far away from frat houses just because you've heard way too many stories of people getting their cars stolen during parties, but right now you just wished you would have listened to your gut feeling and parked in front of the fraternity like every normal person.

However, to your life long luck, you spot a tall figure standing a little too close to your vehicle just as you’re about to unlock it. You slow down your movements almost instantly upon seeing the stranger, yet your eyes still try to figure out if it's someone you know despite the darkness surrounding the two of you.

He has probably spotted you by now, after all you're still panting like crazy from speed walking down to where your car is and it takes you a full minute to realize how loud you're actually being.

"Y/N", the male suddenly says, his deep voice sending shivers down your spine and even though it could have been everyone, it sounds a tad bit too familiar to your ears which is probably why you end up approaching him slowly.

"It's me, Kyoutani", he adds and at the same moment the words leave his lips, you finally recognize his pretty features which seem extra beautiful underneath the bright moonlight.

And then realization hits you.

"How did you know–", "Hana called me and asked if I could make sure you got home even if I didn't want to talk to you. So, here I am. Get in the car so I can tell her I did my part of the job", he interrupts you quickly, obviously not having the intention to interact with you and the way his usually so tender-filled eyes and calming voice are nothing but ice-cold has a thick veil of tears blurring your sight.

Never ever did you think about the moment, where Kyoutani puts the cold mask on he loved to hide behind when he had first looked at you all those weeks ago.

And the longer he avoids your gaze, the heavier the burden on your chest becomes.

"I'm sorry, Tani", you whisper, your voice breaking at the end, easily giving away how much his cold demeanor has gotten to you.

“Of course you're not just a friend to me and I d-don't know why I introduced you like that, everything happened so quickly and I – panicked. It's not an excuse and does not justify my behavior but I just wanted you to know that you've always been more than just a friend to me", you continue, managing to keep talking upon realizing that Kyoutani won't interrupt you and the way he even listens to you with his eyes looking everywhere but yours is absolutely enough for you.

"What am I to you then, Y/N? Am I the guy you're casually fucking? Your booty call? Am I your second choice? Like what the fuck do you expect me to say? I know we never put a label to – this", he starts pointing at you and then himself, "but you knew I was serious about it, about you. So, I just don't understand why you would even think about considering me a friend. I told you that I am not one for that friends with benefits kinda shit and you agreed yet you did this and now I can't help but be convinced you just used me to get that Yuuji fucker.”

Kyoutani is angry and he doesn't even try to hide it as he spits out those words, the ones he’s probably been dying to say out loud for the past few days and you know he has every right to actually be mad at you, his words still hit you in a way you didn't expect them to.

"I'd never do that to you, Kentarou; I'd never use you like that, please believe me", you say quickly, a little surprised you're even able to form proper sentences.

“You m-mean so much to me and I just don't know how to put it into words. My heart hurt so much when I watched you type your number into Sora's phone but the demons in my head, they just kept talking over my heart and – I'm just really sorry, Kyou, I really am", you sigh and after realizing that he's not going to look at you, you finally manage to shift your gaze away from his pretty face.

"Go home, Y/N. It's been a long day for both of us and I think some more distance will help me get my mind straight", Kyoutani replies after a long, torturous beat of silence lingering in the cold air and even if it wasn’t the reply you had hoped to hear, you're glad he's at least not completely ending it.

"Okay b-but at least let me drive you home?", you ask softly, wiping away the few tears which had managed to escape and when you look up at the beautiful faced male in front of you, his eyes meet you for the first time since what feels like forever and you feel yourself melting away.

"I don't think that's a good idea, pretty girl", Kyoutani sighs, the soft pet name sending your mind into the sweetest haze of comfort just like that, "it's only been a few days but I am craving your touch and I just know I'm going to lose it and fuck you against the next best surface if we get into that car together, so I have to decline this offer", he adds and takes another step back, his lips stretching into a tiny smile and you can’t deny how much his words have you gotten you worked up, but you have no choice but to nod.

"Have a good night, baby", Kyoutani sighs and deep down you're hoping for a kiss, after all it's been way too long since you got to feel close to him but instead, he just lifts his hand up and starts waving at you and just as he is about to turn around, you find yourself reaching for his wrist. The fear and despair inside of you making you a little too brave for your personal liking but you know you can't just let him walk away like that.

"Please, Tani- Kyoutani", you whisper and let out a soft sigh of relief when he turns around to face you again, "I won't try anything, I just want to spend a little bit more time with you."

Kyoutani takes a deep breath, his dark eyes roaming your face and wandering down your body and even though it feels like he's literally devouring you alive, you enjoy his burning gazes regardless, a hidden part inside of you even craving them.

A solid minute passes by before he lets out a sigh and gives you a nod, his plump lips pressed into a thin line.

It takes you another deep breath and a couple of seconds to actually calm yourself down from the rollercoaster of emotions you've been through within the time span of an hour and as you sit there in your car, inhaling the cold air of the night, your mind starts replaying everything that went down, starting from the day you met Kyoutani, to your first and most recent kiss, as well as the encounter with Sora and your deep anger towards Yuuji.

The drive to Kyoutani's apartment passes by in a blur, way too fast for your liking and you can't help but pout when you pull up in front of the huge building, knowing very well that this will be the last interaction with the handsome tattoo artist for the upcoming few days and you can already feel tears pricking at the corners of your eyes.

He's been awfully quiet, not like you actually said anything but Kyoutani's silence was intense, boring into your soul and actually suffocating you to a point where the urge to just jump out of the car became overwhelming.

You know he's probably going through everything just like you, yet the feeling that his thoughts are more on the negative side just won't leave you alone and you hate the way your assumptions are being confirmed as soon as Kyoutani turns to look at you.

"I – love you, Y/N", he suddenly says, his voice soft and calm, yet still deep and the way it's filled with tenderness and the sweetest bit of longing makes the effect of those magical words even heavier.

Your lips part in shock, your head having a difficult time actually processing his confession and you can feel your whole body going into a standby mode.

"But you're not good for me."

You remember the way your heart broke into thousands of pieces when you found out the alleged love of your life was cheating on you without even batting an eye.

The pain was so intense and heavy, you didn't know how to deal with it and at some point you were convinced that your heart had stopped beating for a solid minute. It was bad, left you speechless and threw you into a hole of darkness you barely managed to escape from, yet still leaving you grateful for the experience.

You thought your first heartbreak would be able to prepare you for what's to come in the future, but what you went through as soon as those words had fallen past Kyoutani’s lips, can't be compared to anything you've ever felt before.

Your heart starts clenching as his words keep replaying inside of your head and your throat so is going absolutely dry from your desperate attempts to gasp for air as the feeling of being suffocated comes back.

Everything around you seems to disappear, your eyes still focused on Kyoutani's intense gaze as the feeling of emptiness starts filling up your whole body.

You easily lose track of time, your heart beat so slow and heavy and when the wave of reality crashes you yet again, an almost inaudible sob falls past your lips.

"B-But...", you can't get yourself to speak, the words getting stuck in your throat and soft cries the only thing filling the inside of your car.

And yet, there are so many things you want to tell him, so many things rushing through your mind at the highest speed, almost impossible to grasp them and actually put them into proper sentences.

"You have too much control over me. I lost myself trying to fit into the picture of a lover you need and deserve. But �� I am not who I used to be anymore”, Kyoutani explains, nervously rubbing the sides of his pierced node with his thumb as he avoids looking in your direction at all costs.

“I am scared of losing what's obviously not mine. You make me feel weak and vulnerable and I just can't deal with it. You've become the center of my world, and I can't control how much it affects me. How much you affect me and – I hate it", he continued, his voice is still incredibly calm, yet a bittersweet tone of fear coating every single one of his words.

"B-But...", yet again, the whole of your vocabulary seems vanished, not one word to say as the knot in your throat tightens even further.

"I'm sorry, Y/N. I thought I could do it but – I am not meant to love and you deserve to be loved in the most special way possible”, he takes another quick break, letting out a sigh of exhaustion, “and that's why I'm letting you go. Please, don't hate me. Take care and – goodbye, my love.”

Those are his last words before he presses his lips against your forehead, making your head spin like crazy because of the contrast of his heartbreaking words and his soft kiss.

Kyoutani leaves without saying another word. He doesn't even look back once as he walks away and enters the apartment building, while you can't stop staring at the door with hot tears streaming down your cheeks and loud sobs filling the suffocating air surrounding you.

There you are, yet again.

Your eyes staring into the dark night as your body tries to cope with the intensity of pain you've thought you had overcome.

The constant breaking of your heart starts numbing every part of your body and you slowly start losing yourself in this certain kind of darkness.

Seconds turn into minutes and without even realizing, a whole hour has gone by with you staring into nothing.

Your mind plays games with you as it keeps replaying his words, his behavior, his kiss and the feeling of slowly but certainly going insane as you get out of the car a little too fast.

You tumble back, the sudden coldness hitting you right in the face and the mental as well as physical exhaustion has your body trembling.

And then it hits you.

The wave of anger, wrath, frustration and hatred literally wakes you up, pulls you back into reality and ends up taking over you completely.

Your eyes find the huge apartment building Kyoutani lives in, staring at it as if you could set it on fire and you know what you're about to do is a bad idea but your body acts before your mind can even get the chance to intervene.

And that's how you find yourself almost brutality slamming your fist against Kyoutani's door, your heart hammering against your rib cage way too fast for it to be still physically healthy and ten thousand different thoughts rushing through your chaotic mind.

"What the fuck is going – Y/N", Kyoutani looks at you with his pretty eyes slightly widened in shock, his lips parting as he struggles to keep his eyes on you and a disgusting feeling of shame and embarrassment starts filling you up.

You know this is pathetic, you are aware of how stupid you look standing in front of him like this but you just can't get yourself to actually care about it.

"Y/N, please don't-", "No, I listened to what you had to say and now I'm going to talk and you're going to listen to me. Before that I am not going anywhere because I deserve this", you cut him off, hands balled into fists as you try to stay calm but the more you think about his words in the car, the angrier you get.

"I–", Kyoutani sighs, his eyes nervously roaming your face and upon noticing the way you seem to shiver from the cold and your lack of clothing, he lets his conscience get the best of him, "alright, come in then.”

You follow him inside, the familiar scent of vanilla and Kyoutani's favorite febreeze scent filling your nose and you hate the way how comfortable you are.

After all you've been spending quite some time in this apartment; visiting him after your classes so he could bury his face between your legs and then offer you some homemade food, followed by a good old ghibli movie and lots of cuddles has become some kind of routine.

Oh, how you hate him for ruining all of those memories.

"Do you want something to drink? You're probably freezing", he offers, his voice filled with concern and you know he is right and you'd definitely give everything for a cup of tea and maybe some water, you still shove all of your body’s basic needs into the very back of your head and try to regain your composure.

"I – you – we", you take a deep breath, your mind struggling to put all of those racing thoughts into some kind of order, yet failing miserably.

But there's so much you want to say to him; so many things you want him to hear and now that you are actually standing in front of him, your body betrays you.

"You're a fucking coward, Kyoutani Kentarou", is the first thing you finally manage to let out, "and I hate you for leaving me like this. I fucking hate you.”

Deep down, you hate yourself for saying those words; the choice of words and the incredible heaviness they come with are usually not your way of expressing yourself yet you're not regretting them.

You don't know how this night is going to end, maybe this will be the last time you get to see Kyoutani or he'll eventually fuck you into oblivion and you finally end up together; but nevertheless you want your words to hurt him; you want them to wake him up just like his did to you.

"How dare you confess your love to me and tell me I basically ruined your life in the same breath when you're the one who's fucking all of this – us up. Yes, I’ve made a mistake and I've been regretting my choice of words for the past four days, even came to the point where I accepted your distance and decided to let go because I know how much my words hurt you. But us ending like this? Definitely not going to happen", Kyoutani stares at you with his pretty eyes focusing you attentively, barely blinking, not moving at all; he’s just listening to you.

"I just – don't understand how you can be this oblivious."

"Oblivious? Oblivious to what?", he asks, his voice a little deeper and raspier, sending goosebumps straight dow your spine as if your body needed to remind you the effect he has on you.

"Oblivious to everything. This is what love does to people, Kentarou. Of course you're going to feel weak and vulnerable because of me - because of the one you love. After all the point of being loved and loving someone else is showing those vulnerabilities and weakness to the person you trust the most because you know, or at least you hope, they won't take advantage of it.”

You take a deep breath, your mind slowing down as you ease yourself into his calming embrace and subconsciously losing yourself in the comfort it comes with.

“I'm yours. I've been yours since the very first day and we both know this, that's why you are so scared of losing me. And that's why my words hurt you so much”, you can tell that he’s already processing your words as much as he can; his habit of scratching the back of his head giving him away easily.

"You said you've lost yourself trying to fit into this picture of someone who I deserve but – you are the one who created that picture in the first place. Just because my first boyfriend was an alleged goody two shoes doesn't mean that you have to be like that too. Fuck that", you hiss, the thought of Kyoutani changing even the slightest bit about himself sending jolts of anger through your veins, "I don't care if you dropped out of college or that you have tattoos and piercings and bleach blonde hair. None of that matters to me because it's you, your kind heart and your pure soul I fell in love with.”

And suddenly - you can feel the burden on your shoulders disappear when those certain words leave your lips and the second Kyoutani raises his eyebrows in slight surprise before he locks eyes with you again has another breath of fresh air run through your suffocated lungs.

"Yes, I'm in love with you, Kyoutani Kentarou. Believe it or not, but for me, you're perfect just like this, with all your tiny habits and every single tattoo. There's nothing I'd change about you and I'm genuinely, truly sorry if I ever made you feel like you needed to change for me. You're a great guy and I guess that's why I ran back here after sitting in that car, crying for an hour because I couldn't stop thinking about the way you confessed your love to me”, you feel the thick veil of tears appear before they manage to block your sight, making the pretty face in front of you turn into bourry little pixels as your emotions overwhelm you.

“And yes, you are meant to be loved; maybe not meant to be loved by me but you deserve to be loved, do you hear me?"

You go up to him, closing some of the distance between the two of you before your finger darts out and poke his strong chest, trying to ease the tension after letting go of all those thoughts, "you deserve to love and to be loved because you're a good person. And I just – wanted to thank you for letting me into your life. Meeting you, getting to know the beautiful person you are has been one of the best things that has happened to me and I will cherish these memories forever."

And with those words you take a deep breath, let out another sigh, goving away your acceptance of defeat before you lift your head and prepare yourself to say your last goodbye no matter how painful it is.

"Take care, Kyoutani Kentarou and thank you, for everything", the words fall past your lips in the form of a whisper solely because you're too scared to break if you raised your volume just slightly.

You turn around and feel the first tear find its way down your cheek before you even get to walk away.

And just as you wrap your fingers around the doorknob, the sound of rushed footsteps approaching you makes you halt your movements.

"D-Don't go", Kyoutani suddenly says, his voice breaking when he comes to stand behind you, so close you can actually feel the warmth he's radiating, "I need you...so bad", he whispers into your ear, pressing his forehead against the back of your neck and it's like everything that happened tonight becomes irrelevant.

You turn around, not expecting Kyoutani to push you against the door with his whole body, yet still embracing him as much as you can.

With a soft sob, you start inhaling his unique scent, grazing his soft skin with your fingers and letting the warmth blossom inside of your chest after feeling his rapid heartbeat beneath your palm.

"Don't leave me, please", he cries, the tears running down his flushed cheeks despite his desperate attempts of holding back, "let's do this whole love thing.”

You stand there for what feels like an eternity, just hugging each other, taking in each other's presence and calming down from everything that has happened in such a short time. You finally calm down completely, Kyoutani's soft touches and tiny kisses give you the last bit of energy you needed and for the first time in almost three months, there's not one demon in your head trying to make you overthink something.

Because this feels perfect; there's literally no other word to describe the feeling of holding Kyoutani Kentarou and being held by him.

But nevertheless, you've been on a constant adrenaline rush for the past four hours and the exhaustion has been killing you, making you grow tired a lot faster than usual.

"What about moving this to your room, hm? I'd rather fall asleep with you in your bed than against the door; especially because I know the boys are out and will be coming home soon", you say softly, lifting Kyoutani's head from the crook of your neck and looking at him.

He sighs and gives you a soft kiss, giving you a nod in response before he gets himself to let go of you; his warmth leaving with him and it's almost disgusting how you literally crave his presence.

After Kyoutani makes you drink two glasses of water to avoid the dehydration of your body, he hands you one of his thick hoodies and leaves you to get ready in his bathroom.

You come back to the sight of him sitting against the headboard of his king sized bed, his oversized shirt revealing the perfect amount of collarbones and you enjoy the sight of his pretty skin and the dark lines covering most of it as well as the way his sweats hug his strong thighs in the best way possible.

And as you watch his eyes lazily roam your body, a hot jolt of arousal finds its way through your veins and right to your cunt.

"Don't look at me like that, sweet girl", Kyoutani suddenly groans and cocks his head to the side, his tongue poking out to wet his lips before he gulps harshly; his eyes never once leaving yours.

"B-But Tani...", you reply, approaching him with tiny steps become you come to stand right next to his tall figure, feeling yourself growing needier because of the way your body is craving his touch now more than ever.

“Baby…”, he replies and gulps harshly, knowing your body better than yourself after weeks of getting to know you in a way nobody has ever before.

"Please, Tani...please, fuck me. I need to feel you inside of me. I've been waiting for so long...", you plead, your fingers coming to graze his pretty lips as memories of all the times he had turned you into a crying mess with those lips.

Kyoutani is just as affected by the change in tension as you, the slight bulge in his grey sweatpants as well as the hunger burning in his eyes giving him away.

"You're such a pretty angel girl, aren’t you?", he whispers and sits up, pulling you closer to make you stand in between his legs as he starts caressing your hot cheeks with his fingers.

“Yet you're saying all those naughty things”, Kentarou chuckles deeply, “imagine how people would react if they knew what a cockhungry little slut you actually are", upon hearing those degrading names, your cunt starts clenching around nothing and a high pitched whimper escaped your throat.

"For you...", you whisper, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth the second Kyoutani starts placing open mouthed kisses on your neck.

Your fingers dig into his shoulders, pulling the material of his shirt a little too tightly.

"Of course, baby, you're mine after all and this sweet cunt", the sudden feeling of his palm pressing against the damped fabric of your panties has you gasping for air, "belongs to me, and me only", Kyoutani grunts, pulling the skin of your neck between his lips before he starts sucking gently as well as slowly moving his fingers against the lacey fabric between your legs.

"Yes, it's yours", you reply, after several weeks of being intimate with Kyoutani you've learned one thing and that's how much he loves hearing you say all those dirty and lewd things, "please fuck me."

"Patience, my love, patience. I am going to fuck you", Kentarou replies calmly and suddenly pushes you away, his hands disappearing from your body and when your lid flutter open because of the lack of touch, he shoots you one of his cocky smirks, "but let's not forget the whole friend situation, hm? What about you make it up to me before I fuck you like the little whore you are?"

His words have excitement rush through your blood, your head literally spinning just from the thought of finally getting to be on the giving end after weeks of him playing the selfless lover.

You nod eagerly, anticipation sparkling in your eyes as you watch him palm himself over his sweats before you get on your knees and wait for him to let go of his now fully erect cock.

However, the more seconds pass by like this, the more nervous you become because for some reason you suddenly remember that you've basically never sucked dick before.

Your head shoots up with slight panic written all over your face and of course Kyoutani notices your change in demeanor right away.

"What's wrong, angel?", he asks you and stops the movements of his hands.

"I don't know how to do it, Tani", you whisper, knowing there's no point in being shy about it, after all he happens to be the guy you've experienced your most firsts with.

"It's okay, baby, I'm going to help you”, Kyoutani replies and actually loses his composure for a second, “fuck baby, don't look at me like this when I'm literally about to fuck your throat", he hisses, throwing his head back as he grunts and his hips desperately bucking into the air.

Kyoutani takes another deep breath before he finally pushes his hand underneath the waistband of his sweats and with your eyes focused on his movements, you watch him pull out his hard length, a soft hiss falling past his plump lips when the coldness of the room grazes the slightly wet tip of his cock.

You gulp harshly, his impressive size in girth as well as length has your pussy throbbing like crazy, yet you can't help but wonder how the hell he's going to fit inside of you.

“Don't worry, baby, I know you're going to take all of my cock like the good girl you are", Kyoutani says after observing your facial expressions for some time.

"Give me your hand", he asks you softly, his voice still raspy and incredibly hoarse yet still soothing and you appreciate his attempts to calm himself down so you won't feel too nervous. With your heart slamming against your rib cage, you lift your hand up and are slightly overwhelmed at the sudden feeling of Kyoutani's warm spit pooling inside your palm. Without adding anything, he straightens himself and motions you to stroke his hard cock.

Not once do you stop looking at him as you wrap your fingers around the base of his impressive length and slowly start jerking him off.

Kyoutani cocks his head to the side, his bottom lip pulled in between his teeth and his eyes constantly fluttering close.

"Start with the tip, angel- just wrap your lips around it and start sucking, but be careful with your teeth, yeah baby?", he grunts, his hips thrusting into your fist every time the pace of your strokes slows down.

You give him yet another nod before look up at him one more time and do as he says.

The feeling of his cock between your lips is – different.

It feels like it's not supposed to be there, yet the salty taste of his precum coating your tongue has you sighing softly. Your tongue darts out, giving his tip a tiny kitten lick before you go back to sucking on it eagerly.

And while you seem to enjoy it a lot, Kyoutani is going absolutely crazy. You can see the way he's tensing his body as his grip in the bed sheets tightens and the vein on his neck pops out.

"F-Fuck, baby, just like that", he praises you "now try to take more of it in a-and use your hand for the rest", Kyoutani's voice is shaky, his eyes are nervously roaming your swollen lips and the string of spit connecting them to the tip of his cock.

Without giving it another thought, you take a deep breath and take more of him, trying your best to not graze his sensitive cock with your teeth and despite your initial struggle, you still enjoy the feeling of his cock on your tongue.

You subconsciously wrap your fingers around the part of his cock which you can't fit inside your mouth and suddenly it's like your body knows exactly what to do.

Kyoutani's moans grow louder and the soft thrusts of his hips become a little less controlled. You look up at him every now and then, trying your best to keep the steady rhythm as you bop your head.

And then he suddenly thrusts his length all the way to the back of your throat, your gag reflex just about to go off when he pulls back which is the moment you take notice of the tears streaming down your cheeks.

You give him a soft smile before going back to wrapping your lips around his tip, but you don't get very far.

Kyoutani pulls you back, his grip on the back of your neck not firm enough to hurt you.

"I promise I'm going to fuck your throat properly and even cum in your mouth the next time we do this but right now I just can't stop thinking about that tight cunt of yours", he says, helping you get up and almost instantly pulling you onto his lap; his wet cock rubbing against your panty covered core as Kyoutani pulls you in for a kiss.

It's sloppy and rushed, the way his tongue grazes over yours before he pulls it between his lips and starts sucking at it. Your hips start moving against his cock, your sensitive pussy craving some kind of friction as the arousal has your head spinning like crazy.

You start moaning and whimpering into his mouth when Kyoutani’s hips start meeting your desperate movements, applying the perfect amount of pressure onto your needy clit.

You feel the knot in the pit of your stomach tightening, the clenching of your cunt becoming worse the more you hump Kyoutani's cock like a woman starved.

But nothing prepares you for the feeling of one of his large digits entering you. Your hole start clenching around his finger Kyoutani pushes another one in, both digits buried inside of your little cunt.

"Such a good girl for me, aren't you, baby? I'm going to finger you nice and slow so you're ready for my cock. Now come on, my love; show me what a good whore you are and ride my fingers", Kyoutani encourages you, his hot breath fanning against the sensitive skin behind your ear and without missing a beat, your hips meet the skillful thrusts of his fingers.

Kyoutani continues to whisper naughty things into your ear, his other hand eventually wrapping around your throat as he makes sure you look into his eyes when you stumble over the edge.

Your high hits you hard and fast, the intensity knocking the breath out of your lungs and leaving you gasping for it; something you should be used to by now yet still can't believe is even possible.

He pushes you off of his lap softly, helps you get rid of his shirt as well as your ruined panties before he makes you lay down in the middle of his bed; eyes locking with yours when he also starts undressing.

"My pretty girl", Kyoutani sighs, his hand caressing the soft skin of your thighs, spanking you every now and then just because he's absolutely obsessed with the way your whole body tenses whenever his hand meets your skin.

“Look at me", he orders and almost instantly your head shoots up to meet his gaze, the sight of his naked body distracting you a lot more than you expected but after all this is the first time you get to see the rest of his tattoos; the ones you usually only get a tiny glimpse of depending on his outfit choice.

Kyoutani spreads your legs apart, his eyes never leaving yours even when he starts jerking off again and you can't hold back the soft whimpers and begs leaving your lips.

But also something about his flushed cheeks and swollen lips as well as his messy hair falling into his face has you incredibly turned on.

"We've never talked about this before but are you on the pill, baby?", he asks, pushing one of his thumbs into his mouth before he brings it down to your clit and starts rubbing soft circles into it, making you arch your back off of the mattress as you bury your face in the pillow to keep your noises down.

"N-No", you whisper, a deep sigh coming from Kyoutani and even though you know you shouldn’t do it, you stop him from bending over to the drawer of his nightstand, making him look at you in confusion.

“But I still want you to raw me, please...", you add and gulp harshly when his whole body seems to go into some kind of haze once the words leaveyour lips.

Kyoutani looks at you, his eyes darkening even more as he pulls his bottom lip between his teeth and lets out a loud moan of your name.

"I can't just raw you, baby", he presses through gritted teeth, his mask slowly falling apart the more you rub yourself against his cock, "you've never had sex without a condom and my pull out game is weak, even weaker when it comes to you because fuck – the thought of filling you up with my cum sounds so fucking good", Kyou groans when you scoot up a little, taking his length into your hand before you line him up with your entrance.

"B-But what if you get pregnant, sweet girl?", he sighs and tries to pull away, making you wrap your arms around his neck as you look into his pretty eyes.

"That will just show everyone around us how well you've fucked me", you whisper and elicit another deep moan from him, his whole body shaking slightly as he tries to hold himself back from just pounding into you.

"Such a cockhungry whore", he hisses and – finally – starts pushing his fat cock into your tiny cunt, the slight stretch making you both gasp for air.

“If that's what you want, then that’s what you get, you little slut. I'm going to fucking raw you and fill you up with all of my cum, make you my cumslut", Kyoutani grunts, pulling your bottom lip between his teeth before he harshly grabs your face and looks into your eyes as he buries more of himself inside of you.

"F-Fuck, you're big", you whimper, throwing your head back and trying your very best to stop clenching around his cock.

“We're almost there, baby- you got this, s-stop clenching", Kyoutani grunts against your parted lips. Without a warning, Kyoutani pushes the rest of his huge cock inside of you, bottoming out completely.

“F-Fuck...you’re so– tight”, Kentarou grunts, his fingers digging into the flesh of your hips as he buries his face in the crook of your neck, “it’s like you’ve never been fucked before.”

“S-So good...so fucking good, nngh-”, your little whimpers and whines are slurred, barely coherent as the feeling of being filled to the brim pushes you into a haze of pleasure.

You feel the pulsation of his cock against your spongy walls, his hands nervously roaming your body and groping one of your tits, as he obviously tries to calm himself down.

And then he finally starts moving.

A deep, guttural moan leaves the both of you when he pulls himself out of your tight hole, dragging his huge cock along the walls of your little cunt in the most delicious way possible before he almost brutally shoves himself back in again.

“Mhm, just like that, you little brat”, he grunts, sitting up on his knees as he pushes your legs further apart, his eyes focusing the way his fat cock stretches your hole just how he’s been imagining it all this time, “coming up to me and talking about having your little cunt rawed like some cumhungry little whore.”

You start nodding almost instantly at his words, your brain barely recognizing them, the only thing you can focus on being the way the tip of his cock grazes the entrance to your womb with every harsh, brutal thrust of his hips.

His thrusts find a steady rhythm, hard and so, so deep.

“Open your mouth”, Kyoutani grunts, a single drop of sweat finding its way down the center of his tattooed chest, the sight making you whimper and whine for him even louder as you part your lips as soon as you process his words.

“You know what? I’d rather have you say it”, he suddenly hisses, pulling his cock out of your spasming cunt before he presses your legs together and shoves himself back inside of you with one skilled thrust of his hips.

You have no idea at what point you start crying but by the time Kyoutani's moans and grunts start picking up their pace, you're a sobbing mess.

“S-Say wh-what?”, you sob, hiding your tear and spit stained face behind your hands, not daring to look up at him.

“I want you to ask for my spit and beg for my cum”, Kentarou’s voice grows raspier, the dominance seething through every single one of his words makes it so easy for you to fall even further into the hole of absolute submission, “and stop hiding yourself, angel girl..I wanna watch the way I’m fucking your brains out.”

A row of loud, high pitched whines and a combination of sobs and moans are the only thing you manage to respond with, your brain clouded with the feeling of his thick cock dragging along the spongy walls of your cunt.

And before you can even comprehend his next movement, you hear the loud sound of skin meeting skin followed by the delicious feeling of a sting sending jolts of pain through your body, something you’ve come to love after so many hours with the tattoo artist.

“I told you to ask and beg for it, angel girl..you’re making me wait”, Kentarou spits, never once halting the movements of his hips as he watches the way you start sobbing even more, your cunt spasming around his cock after his painful spank.

“Please...f-fuck, please spit in my mouth and my face and on my cunt- want it all”, you start brabbling, another row of incohrent begs following right afterwars as your hips sloppily meet his harsh thrusts, “I want you to stuff me full of your cum, too- please, Daddy, wanna be your little c-cumdumpster.”

“There you go..”, Kyoutani’s plump lips stretch into a big smile as his cock throbs at the sound of that one forbidden little word he’s come to love even more after hearing it from you only a handful of times.

He didn’t hesitate to tell you about how much it turns him on around two weeks after the two fo you had started dating and even though he never really expected you to use it, he was secretely hoping for you to overcome your shyness.

You had used it only twice before when the pleasure had gotten too much for your brain to handle and Kyoutani knew you’d stop holding yourself back as soon as you got a taste of his cock.

“What did you just call me, pretty girl?”, he cooes, giggling softly at the way you whimper and cry even harder, knowing oh so well what he wants to hear.

And for the first time you just can’t get yourself to argue with the little voice in the back of your head; the feeling of his cock stretching your tiny cunt making it so, so easy to just let go of all those doubts and worries.

“Please, Daddy”, you reply and look into his eyes, groping your own tits as you arch your back to feel him even deeper inside of you, “n-need your cum inside of me...please- want everyone to know who I belong to.”

You don’t really expect it, yet your pussy almost instantly start clenching around his cock when kyoutani harshly grabs your face, making you part your lips before he spits into your mouth.

The loud, lewd sound of it rings in your ears in the best way possible and acting like a literal aphrodisiac in combination with the delicious taste of his saliva coating the hot muscle of your tongue.

You hum softly before you swallow it all, a gentle sob escaing your lips before you look up at him again.

"Now go on, angel girl”, he growls, pushing his hand in between your legs to rub circles into your hardened clit, “I want you to cum for me. Be a good little dumpster for your Daddy and show me what only I can do to you.”

You can barely process his words, the lewdness just fueling the fire in the pit of your stomach as you lose yourself in the feeling of your upcoming high. But you still start nodding, cringing at the feeling your saliva dripping down your jawline.

And with one last thrust, you feel your high crashing down onto you with such heaviness, you're left absolutely breathless.

Your whole body is trembling as the waves of your orgasm hit you, a row of incoherent words leaving your lips before you stop trying and just start crying for your precious Daddy.

"That's my baby”, is the first thing your brain manages to process again, everything still a blurry mess and when you look at Kyou, you realize you’re still cumming.

Your cunt is almost painfully spasming around his big cock, your juices dripping down the sides of his length as he helps you ride out your orgasm.

“You’re such a good, good girl for Daddy, aren’t you? I'm so proud of you", Kyoutani praises you, his thrust a little sloppier than before and from the way he's digging his fingers into the skin of your waist, you can only assume that he's also quiet close, "you're also going to take all of Daddy’s cum, right, baby? We gotta make sure I fill you up nicely..."

You take a deep breath, your slightly overstimulated cunt sending shivers down your spine as your eyes focus on Kyoutani's parted lips.

"Please, Daddy...need you to fill me up with your cum", you encourage him and when you slowly push two of your fingers into his mouth, knowing how much he loves to suck on them no matter what situation you’re both in, you finally get to see his whole face crunch up in pleasure.

His body tenses up as his grip on your waist becomes firmer before he starts cumming inside of you with a deep, raspy moan; coating the walls in several shades of white with three thick spurts of his cum.

Kyoutani buries his face in the crook of your neck as he slowly calms down, loud breathing and rushed gasps for air the only thing to fill the inside of his empty room.

"I love you so much", he whispers and gives you a soft kiss, his cock still firmly buried inside of your sensitive cunt before he shoots you a soft smile; looking almost boyish with his glossy eyes and flushed cheeks.

"I love you, too, D-Daddy”, you whisper, gulping harshly as the words leave your lips, feeling yourself grow even smaller underneath his strong yet comforting gaze, “thank you for giving us a chance", you add and pull him into for another kiss.

"Kyoutani Kentarou, your favorite group of walking disappointments is back and better than ev - oh", Iwaizumi Hajime, Kyoutani's High School best friend, fellow tattoo aritst and roommate suddenly yells and almost brutally slams open the door, startling you to the last bone in your body.

Kyoutani is quick to cover you up with his body, his hand reaching for one of the blankets on the floor as he grunts in annoyance.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know–", "What is it, Iwa-Chan? Is he jerking off again? Kyoutani Kentarou you little piece of shit, just go and fuck that–", just like Iwaizumi, Oikawa – who also happens to be his best friend, felow tattoo artist and roommate – comes to stand in the doorway, bumping into his best friend before he finally spots the two of you.

"You're naked", he points out, closing his eyes almost instantly after realizing what he has just come to witness and despite the disgusting feeling of wanting to disappear and never come back again, you can't help but giggle at their shocked and slightly disgusted faces.

Kyoutani takes a deep breath and pulls out of you, still making sure to hide you behind his body before he hands you the blanket and lets his eyes shift to the door, looking at his best friends in pure disbelief.

"Kawa stop fucking staring and – can you two please fuck off?", he yells, pulling the boys back to reality and the way both of them shift to look at you only to blush from their necks to their ears has you chuckling softly.

This type of situation is nothing you’re not used to – unfortunately.

"Uhm – of course! Oh, my fucking God! So sorry, Kyou", Iwaizumi stutters and wraps his fingers around the doorknob, avoiding your eyes as much as he can before he pushes Oikawa away and then closes the door with another row of apologies.

Kyoutani just looks at you apologetically as he shakes his head and face palms himself, making the both of you burst into loud laughter.

And after taking a shower together and actually eating some late dinner with the boys, you fall asleep with Kyoutani's arms tightly wrapped around your waist, his face buried inside the crook of your neck and one last love confession.

And when those sweet words fall past his lips yet again, you realize – you're finally home.

Out of this world hq fanfics, my favorites (part two)

Please check trigger warnings before reading any of these fics. <3

I’m also taking requests for recommendations. Just fill out the form in the pinned post on my page.

☆彡::･★彡･::･☆彡･:*:★☆彡::･★彡･::･☆彡･:*:★☆彡::･★彡･::･☆

Title: Something Like Us

Author: the_madame21

No Archive warnings

Rating: E

Ship: Iwaizumi/Oikawa (IwaOi)

Length: 10 chapters, 28,916

Status: Completed

Author’s summary: Friends since childhood, Oikawa and Iwaizumi now live together, both playing for the National Team. It's no secret that athletes who are bonded perform better. So if the two of them happen to bond...It'd be for the good of the team, right?

The words in the stars say: Shawtys, don’t yell at me for recommending another Omegaverse fic, it’s so good though, and I’m just goin down my list of favs and they were right under each other. Anyways, I love this fic. This story persistently describes the pinning on both sides perfectly. You can clearly see the turning point when Oikawa’s goal changes as the bond further affects his and Iwa’s lives, both positively and negatively. This is one of my favorite IwaOi Omegaverse fics. This story gives the understanding of being connected to the one you love, no matter how it came about, a completely different meaning.

I rate this fic 10 aliens out of 10, please read and if you do talk to me about the convenience store scene, it’s my favorite part :).

Title: Twitch

Author: CheekyBrunette

No Archive warnings

Rating: Not rated

Ship: Kageyama/Hinata (KageHina)

Length: 6 chapters, 72,501 words

Status: Completed

Author’s summary: "He was aware of the itch he’d feel before he shook his head or scrunched his nose. He recognized the impulse to move, but he didn’t realize how compulsive the behaviors had become. He had to shake his head. He had to scrunch his nose. He had to shrug his shoulders over, and over, and over.It wasn’t until he was nine-years-old that Shouyou realized he couldn’t control his movements like other kids could."

The words in the stars say: I really loved this AU. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it at first but as I kept reading I enjoyed it more and more. In this fic Hinata having Tourette's made so much sense. I love how the author used actual habits Hinata has in the anime, explained them in the story, and how they work with Tourette’s. The difference between who Kageyama was in the beginning, compared to how he was at the end made me so happy. He clearly learned how he should be treating Hinata with or without feelings and Hinata’s Tourette’s. Such a sweet read for my Kagehina stans.

I rate this fic 10 aliens out of 10.

Title: The Outside Edge

Author: Ray (RayWritesStuff)

No Archive warnings

Rating: M

Ship: Bokuto/Akaashi (BokuAka)

Length: 30 chapters, 201,662 words

Status: Incomplete. Hasn’t been updated since 2/15/21 (Imma cry)

Author’s summary: Akaashi Keiji is a competitive figure skater, and has been his whole life. Ever since he could remember, he's always been pushed by everyone around him to be great. To never fail. To satisfy his mother's desire of him going to the Winter Olympics.Everything was going fine for him, his routine at the rink with his friends running smoothly. Until one day, the University Hockey team was temporarily moved to his rink. Thanks to his meddling best friend, Akaashi is pushed into introducing himself to well-known hockey star Bokuto Koutarou. His attraction to the wild-eyed and kind-hearted man is almost instant.Akaashi soon finds himself falling all to fast for his liking. Before he could catch himself, he was pushed out of his comfort zone and into worlds beyond. As his new relationship with Bokuto blossoms, he learns that his worth is so much more than his performance, and to accept the haunting truths in his life he's been running from for so long.

The words in the stars say: I’m a sucker for figure skater x hockey player au’s and man, WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS INCOMPLETE. *SLAMMING ON DESK NOISES* I love them so much, lmk if yall find any others. This fic was just *kiss*. I loved it. It represented Akaashi so well and his mental state as a figure skater. I got the whole experience, I finished it and then went ice skating (unplanned, surprisingly). Bokuto is such a sweet heart and every time he forgave Akaashi while he was struggling, warmed my heart (unlike my fingers while I type this sheesh). I adored the IwaOi, DaiSuga, and KuroKen in the background.

10/10 completely. I love this fic so much even with it being abandoned. </3

Underage - Archive Warning

Rating: Teen and up

Ship: Sakusa/Atsumu (SakuAtsu)

Length: 3 chapters, 37,963 words

Status: Complete

Author’s summary: “I’m Atsumu! What’s your name?” The boy mumbled out an answer, and because his voice was muffled by his mask, all Atsumu heard was “...Omi.”“Omi?”“Kiyoomi,” the boy said in a much clearer voice. But Atsumu was already attached to the name. “Omi-Omi! Let’s go!” Shamelessly, he grabbed him by the hand and tugged him behind him. He felt responsible for him — the boy clearly needed all the protection and guidance he could get. Atsumu can be his hero.--The story started when the Sakusa family moved into their neighborhood in Amagasaki when they were nine. Atsumu would always remember that he saw Kiyoomi first.

The words in the stars say: Lettersinpetals has to be one of my absolute favorite hq fic writers. Their SakuAtsu fics are the ones I will ALWAYS rec. This story is a beautiful rollercoaster. I don’t even know how many times I cried (happy ending dw dw) while reading this. I love the childhood friends AU for SakuAtsu plus Osamu and Suna’s drama that pulls you into a heartbreaking story. Lettersinpetals blows me away every damn time I read a fic of theirs. PLEASE PLEASE, read this fic.

I rate this 10 out of 10 aliens.

The words in the stars say: This fic. Oh my god. This fic made me want to have a penpal I write love letters to even when I have no idea who they are. I’m a sucker for poetry and letters, this story was a dessert for me. I adore Suga owning a bookstore. Also the background KageHina, AsaNoya, and TsukkiYama? YES. This fic lives in my head rent free in English class. The scene in the café with Suga and Daichi, I just- *dies*. Read this fic now. It’s amazing and I reread it all the time when I’m sad, such a heartfelt read. I can’t express how much I love this fic.

!!!!SPOILER!!!! “I hoped. I wanted it to be you.” *sobbing* !!!!SPOILER!!!!

I rate this fic 10 out of 10 aliens.

Haikyuu!! fic rec 3

Part I & Part II

Bokuaka

Character Development by silvercistern (T / 75k) - I gave it the Best Summer fic of 2017 award. "That’s some kinda gratitude. What happened to my painfully polite little brother? I get the ideal guy to take you to prom, and you act like he's not even here!"

"I doubt I’d let him take me to the hospital if I were bleeding to death."

In blackwater woods by snowlighters (T / 4k) - at their last match during nationals, akaashi breaks his promise.

Undeniably Special by togekissies (G / 2k) - When Keiji looks at his team, the corners of his mouth start to turn upward. He looks at Bokuto and thinks, I’m going to make this into a team that supports you.

Year round love by masi (G/ 3k) - In his first year of university, Bokuto realizes that he really adores Akaashi.

Iwaoi

The Courtship Ritual of The Hercules Beetle by kittebasu (T / 66k) - Who hasn't read this one?. Tooru is pretty sure he could manage the mating habits of a mosquito. It’s the mating habits of people he can’t seem to get right.

Trial by fire by bluu (E / 76k) - Iwaizumi is a young, bright-eyed criminal prosecutor fresh out of law school. After half a year of trying misdemeanor cases and learning the art of argument through his mentor, Ushijima Wakatoshi, he finally gets his first felony case: a murder of an affluent CEO by his son, Daishou Suguru.

Matsuhana

A Bouquet of flours by guyfierimpreg (G / 5k) - “Is that a flour sack in a diaper,” Iwaizumi deadpanned, looking at the offending thing with a Look saved only for dealing with Hanamaki and Matsukawa.

boiled frogs by reginagalaxia (E / 91k) - They've always been really close friends, but Hanamaki begins to question how close when Matsukawa begins dating someone else - someone else that doesn't treat him well. When he suspects that Matsukawa may be in an abusive relationship, Hanamaki realizes that opening his best friend's eyes to his situation may be harder than he had ever anticipated.

Sakuatsu

Burden of Blame by DeathBelle (E / 91k) - Atsumu has a long history of pissing people off, but this time he’s gone too far. Someone wants him dead, and although he doesn’t know who or why, it becomes clear very quickly that both he and Osamu are in danger.

curse breaking by allicanseeispink (T / 9k) - Nearing the fourth hour of the silent treatment, Kiyoomi’s already frayed nerves began to whittle down to their last fibers. Today, it was raining. A proper Tokyo monsoon tantrum just shy of a full-blown typhoon that left puddles on sidewalks and fell from an angle so wicked it eluded umbrellas. It was raining and they haven’t spoken in almost four hours.

let's get physical by rosegoldwriting (T / 4k) - Cheesy. “Yer beautiful,” Atsumu says. “And you’re 73.3 kilograms,” Sakusa responds with an eye roll.

liminal spaces by hatsuna (T / 25k) - Fuck you, Atsumu thinks, pointing at the pixelated Sakusa in the team photo on his bedside table.

Terminal Curiosity by favspacetwink, moonlumie (E / 111k) - If the series were a song, they'd be a BANGer (pun included). BDSM AU featuring Experienced Dom Sakusa and Kink Newbie Atsumu. Post-time skip & loosely canon compliant.

you make my heart burn by myhopeisjhope (G / 11k) - “What’s up with that awful expression?” Atsumu asked. He leaned against the counter with his hip, looking directly at Kiyoomi, his regular fox-line grin plastered on his face.“What’s up with that awful hair?” Kiyoomi shot back.

Osasuna

An Inconvenient Espionage by DeathBelle (E / 26k) - Osamu and Atsumu have fucked up one too many times, and in an attempt to tame the Miya Chaos, Kita assigns them to different partners.

miya atsumu's private investigation into touch, change, and the rin voice by rosegoldwriting (T / 3k) - For some reason, his brother, the least touchy person Atsumu knows, has been all over Suna Rintarou since the end of the regular season. Atsumu would like to know why.

Little List of Haikyuu Fanfics on AO3 [iwaoi edition]

To Be First, To be Best - chanyeol

iwaoi

Hajime is apparently something of a masochist, and as he stares down at the tie-dyed AREA51 T-shirt in his hands, he thinks “I’m totally in love with this asshole, aren't I?”

iwa realizing he is in love with oikawa. little angst but dear god why u so dense iwa-chan

words: 26,404 (1/1)

The PDA Jar - orphan_account

iwaoi

“What is that thing for?”

“I’m glad you asked, captain. This… is the Public Display of Affection jar. Or PDA jar for short.”

“Now whenever you do something that may hurt our children’s innocence, you’ll have to put money in the jar as a punishment."

all fluff and protect kindaichi at all costs/ why are u 2 so dense. so adorable and oikawa and iwa not even not even realizing how in love they are with each other

words:10,480 (1/1)

The Great Photo Race - reginagalaxia

iwaoi

Oikawa realizes that he doesn't have a single terrible photo of Iwaizumi on his phone, and challenges the volleyball team to get the worst photo possible in a week.

tooth-rotting fluff we deserve/ iwa is too hot for his own good

words:

right person, wrong time (and how long it took for the time to be right) - bbkutosan

iwaoi

“If the first person you loved was standing in front of you, what would you say to them?”

Or: Iwaizumi finds himself being interviewed by two YouTubers and realizes that for some reason, Oikawa Tooru has changed his life far too many times.

mic guy and camera guy are some real mvps. they figure it out though. very proud of iwaoi.

words: 5,070 (1/1)

inside, this place is warm & outside, it starts to pour - enisle

iwaoi

#1 - inside, this place is warm

But still. Texting Iwaizumi to come over shouldn't be terrifying—none of the things he's been doing with Iwaizumi for the past two weeks should be terrifying. And yet here he is, so overwhelmed with the knowledge that while he and Iwaizumi have always done everything together, there were superlatives they never dared to acknowledge, and being together in every sense of the word entailed an everything that was much more vast, much more limitless.

Oikawa is still trying to deal with the intricacies that come with dating your best friend.

words: 6,557 (1/1)

#2 - outside, it starts to pour

Or maybe, just maybe, it was simply Oikawa—the boy who cleaves the air with a swing of his arm and the friend who eats half of his lunch and the lover who makes him feel invincible and weightless and weak all at once.

Iwaizumi loves him. Iwaizumi loves him and it’s terrifying how that love consumes him just so.

Iwaizumi has had many firsts with Oikawa, but what's one more?

honestly pure fluff, deserved fluff dear good i love this. happy fluff, for a good day or a mood lifter

words: 9,906 (1/1)

I’m Cupid Stupid - OIKAWAHAJIME13

Oikawa Tooru (aka Cupid) and Iwaizumi Hajime (his loving husband) are tasked with getting four couples together this February. Needless to say, things do not always go to plan in the game of love.

they are married and this is so soft and sweet. It just makes my heart warm up at the thought.

words: 8,737 (5/5)

From Your Mortal Enemy (with Love) - duskglow

He takes a step closer to Iwaizumi and says, “You’re going to have to pry this gym away from my cold, dead hands if you really want it, Iwa-chan.”

Iwaizumi leans in and grins without any humor. “Bring it on, Pretty Boy.”

Or, five-ish times that Oikawa Tooru has the grave misfortune of encountering the very annoying hot asshole of a baseball captain.

baseball player iwa is amazing and i love how slow kawa can be during this. 100% worth it. I love them.

words: 11,272 (1/1)

Blood Runs Blue - flourishstars

“He’s got a gun!”

Oikawa freezes. He doesn’t want to turn his head for the fear of what he might see, but he does. As he turns his head, his heart nearly stops.

A group of people stand at the door, with masks covering their faces. Oikawa’s eyes trail down, and his heart rate quickens as he realizes that they’re all carrying guns.

Oikawa has never feared for his life, but fuck, he does right now.

(Or, publicist Oikawa Tooru assists a jaded detective in solving a case, but they’re up against the clock, because time is running out.)

ugh just *chef’s kiss*. stuppendous, flawless, oh i loved this. It’s a bit violent so be wary. Definitely check the tags.

words: 27,623 (12/12)

I Choose You - TripsH

There's a tiny clock on his wrist, bright red numbers. It's supposed to tick, supposed to move, supposed to tell him when he'll meet his soulmate. The time will run to zero when they've met, moving numbers will become stationary—the ticking that signified uncertainty transforming to the silent stability of forever.

Iwaizumi Hajime's clock hasn't ticked for as long as he can remember.

Honestly this is a bit angsty (okay maybe more than a bit) but it is honestly very worth it. It’s a really nice soulmate au and it’s fun watching them grow. Though you might want to yell at them a bit to actually talk.

words: 9,315 (1/1)

The Lifespan of Asters - russianpotatofarm

20 Theme Challenge day 2: reading quietly “What do you need?” Hajime asks. The patient’s eyes light up. A little, anyway. He looks like he doesn’t have much left in him, and if he does, it’s either caffeine or heavy drugs. “Great! So, what does glioblastoma mean, anyway?” or, "god damn i never should have gone to med school," a novel by iwaizumi hajime (forward by yachi hitoka)

Okay so this does end with a Major Character Death so if that is not your thing don’t read it. It is very well written and I honestly had to stop and cry in my pillow for a bit.

words: 7,813 (1/1)

Shatter the Heavens - papaya_oyl

“Hey Iwa-chan, do you know the legend that if you die, you become a star? Your soul flies to the sky and there’s a place for you to stay. Everyone has their own spot that's been reserved for them since the moment they’re born, and the galaxy extends to hold every single person. You stay up there to watch over everyone else forever.” Oikawa turned his head and looked into Iwaizumi’s eyes. “I bet there’s someone up there watching us right now.”

Oikawa and Iwaizumi have moved to Tokyo together for university, and are living their lives playing volleyball, and spending almost all of their waking moments together. Everything is perfect. Until it isn’t, and when everything starts to fall apart, it’s up to Iwaizumi to fix what is broken.

Iwaizumi gazed into the eyes that shone with tears, seeing the galaxies that sparkled in those beautiful chocolate orbs.

“Make it go away, Iwa-chan. Please, make the pain go away.”

The stars weep and cry. The heavens destroy and ruin.

I won’t lie about this, I began crying about a 1/4 of the way through this. This HURTS so so so much but it is written incredibly. Iwa and Oikawa’s relationship is so wonderfully built and I’ll say it the end kills you for more than the reason you think it should. (Does have a Major Character Death.)

words: 30,390 (1/1)

Time - kylar

"Time takes. Time corrupts. Time destroys. Time is greedy and ruthless and uncaring. It rips through your life and takes everything you’ve ever cared about. It ruins everything it touches. It doesn’t care about love, it doesn’t care about promises. It mocks, it taunts, it teases us with promises it has no intention of keeping. It wrecks havoc, and even if you can see it coming, you can’t stop it. Time is pain. So don’t tell me time will heal my wounds. Time gave me these wounds."

Alright this is written in a different way but it’s incredible. And yes I bawled like a baby. Though it might be because of the Major Character Death. But yes an amazing read and 100% worth the tears.

words: 4,973 (1/1)

How Iwaizumi Hajime Got A Boyfriend - beemother

Maybe, just maybe, that hot pink dildo wasn't the worst gift.

or Iwaizumi finally tells his best friend that he loves him.

This is my shameless self plug. Yes it’s the iwaoi fic I wrote.

words: 2,998 (1/1)

IwaOi Fanfiction Masterlist with 90+ Works

Hello! In celebration accumulating over 290 bookmarks on my AO3 account featuring IwaOi, Haikyuu S4 part 2, and @haikyuuweek2020 (Day 7 - Free Choice), I decided to create a masterlist of all of my favorite Iwaoi fics in order to keep myself organized as well as contributing to more traffic for those works! Works are split up into genres such as alternate universe (either not childhood friends or set on Earth), angst, canon compliant (post timeskip with spoilers), canon divergent (childhood friends but divergent timeline post timeskip), high school, and university au

Formatting update: Jan 13, 2021 (spacing is wonky on the mobile app!).

Fic update: Jan 7, 2021

This is incomplete as I got distracted while re-reading a lot of these and have only gone through half of my bookmarks, but feel free to check my own page here for the rest of them! I really do hope you guys enjoy reading these and leave comments and kudos! Please reblog and like so more people can enjoy

Titles marked with (♡) are my absolute favorites and there’s a chance I cried while reading them but otherwise they’re in alphabetical order

Alternate Universe

an allegory of all the things we could’ve been

Word count: 16k

Summary: “I don’t know anything about some red string,” Iwaizumi murmurs into the cracks of Oikawa’s skin, “or even about lifetimes or fate. But no matter where you are, I’ll find you. Gods or otherwise.” Reincarnation AU

And All the Prince’s Men

Word count: 65k

Summary: “Father only loves that which he owns, and I am the one thing that can never truly be his.” Royalty AU

Built a Temple in Me

Word count: 55k

Summary: Up the mossy mountain steps, past the komainu guardians and the faded red gate, and beyond the boundaries of the green shrine—that’s where the forest and the spirit world within it lies. That’s were Hajime met him, and where their story began.But intertwining of destinies can be ugly business, Hajime finds, when their first meeting begins with blood and the too-human eyes of a beast. God Oikawa AU

Quote: It fills his heart anyway, heals the hole in his chest that had been bleeding since he cut Tooru so forcibly from him.

Cotton Breathing

Word count: 13k

Summary: Long-distance and summer only but childhood friends AU

Conquering the Great King

Word count: 105k

Summary: Oikawa's lips twitched into a smirk and he brought them hovering just over Iwaizumi's, "One time thing, Two time thing, what's it matter as long as it's not a Relationship thing?"

Quote: Oikawa's eyes twitched wide for less than a second, his knee pressed in hard against Iwaizumi's thigh, "I may be gorgeous, but I'm not a doll."

Desperado

Word count: 82k

Summary: Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone. Heist AU

♡here comes your man

Summary: Hajime knows exactly how shitty Oikawa's personality is, and has no scruples whatsover about betting Oikawa six thousand yen that he can't be nice for an entire week.

♡♡i sing the body electric

Word count: 8k

Summary: It was never part of the plan, falling in love with his best friend, but then again, most things in Iwaizumi’s life that involve Oikawa rarely unfold the way he thinks they will.

Iwaoi fic rec

So since quarantine started I’ve literally watched Haikyuu like three times oops. Honestly if u haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend. Anyway, Iwaoi is one of my fav ships so I figured I’d make a fic rec so y’all will have some good reading to enjoy in this time of distance :))

All of these are complete and on ao3. I tend to like the longer or chaptered fics so most of these are like that but a few shorter one shot pieces are listed as well!

The PDA Jar by Poteto

Summary: “What is that thing for?”

“I’m glad you asked, captain. This… is the Public Display of Affection jar. Or PDA jar for short.”

“Now whenever you do something that may hurt our children’s innocence, you’ll have to put money in the jar as a punishment."

One of my first Iwaoi fics and its super sweet and fluffy. I love how Iwa and Oikawa come to realize their feelings it’s just really really cute.

Press '1' to Get a Call From Your Drunk Best Friend by UmbrellaMartialGod

Summary: Press '2' to hear him talk about you for thirty minutes, press '3' for him to compliment your ass, and press '4' for more options.

This is a short and sweet fic where Iwaizumi basically confesses his feelings for Oikawa when he’s drunk af. Super cute and funny.

to be first, to be best by kittebasu (chanyeol)

Summary: Hajime is apparently something of a masochist, and as he stares down at the tie-dyed AREA51 T-shirt in his hands, he thinks “I’m totally in love with this asshole, aren't I?”

This is hands down one of my fav Iwaoi fics ever. It feels so realistic to their relationship on the show and it so fluffy but also some angst ugh its just so cute. Basically Oikawa moves in w/ Iwa after he blows up his kitchen and things go from there.

When You Wish Upon a Star by emerald1963

Summary: Hajime has no idea how this situation is even possible, but he’s one hundred percent certain that it’s all Oikawa’s fault. Oikawa blames the aliens.

The Iwaoi body swap fic that this fandom needs, if not the one it deserves.

The Iwaoi body swap AU. Its absolutely adorable as they try and navigate living in each other’s bodies and how they come to understand each other’s feelings just ugh so good.

Kotov Syndrome by valiantarmor

Summary: Corruption is brewing in Seijou's police force. Oikawa Tooru, the captain of Special Investigations, is put onto a case where he cannot afford to fail.But despite his best efforts, not everything goes according to plan.

A standalone fic in the buddycop AU series; reading the others isn't necessary if you'd just like to read this one!

Iwaoi as cops oooo boy. Honestly funny and adorable as you get to see their relationship but also suspenseful and has a great plot. This is a long one too so be prepared to get hooked. The rest of the series is also freaking awesome so I highly recommend reading all of them.

i’m gonna be the man who comes back home to you by baekuugo (insxouts)

Summary: Iwaizumi Hajime is a single father trying to raise a teenager (or three) on his own. He thinks he does pretty okay and things are going great until he meets the Oikawa Tooru (who isn't as great as people think he is, if you ask Iwaizumi) and his life takes a turn for the best worst.

I really love the single parent AU and the author does a really good job of balancing the family relationship and Iwaoi. I just really love this one and its so wholesome but if i remember correctly there’s some angst too, I highly recommend reading.

dyspnea/arrhythmia by carafin

Summary: In which Iwaizumi Hajime is a junior doctor suffering through his medical rotation, and Dr. Oikawa Tooru is his insufferable mentor. Medical AU.

This fic omgggg. Both Iwa and Oikawa are doctors and ofc oikawa is terrifyingly good. Basically you get so their relationship change as they get closer from working together and supporting each other. A really good read!!

you’re looking like you fell in love tonight by anyadisee

Summary: “So, let me see if I understood this correctly,” Hajime says, slow and careful like he’s still waiting for some kind of punchline.

“You want me to help Oikawa Tooru, a guy I barely know, because your boyfriend owes him a favor?”

“And you owe me a favor,” Hanamaki adds helpfully.

“That doesn’t even make any sense!”

“Sure it does.” Hanamaki’s smile widens. “Issei and I are practically the same person by now, anyway, so whatever favor you owe me, you also owe him. And by repaying me, you are repaying him, and in turn he is repaying Oikawa. Think of it as, like, the transitive property of equality. A equals B equals C. A equals C.”

“I know what the transitive property of equality is,” Hajime snaps.

[in which iwaizumi pretends to be oikawa's boyfriend.]

One of my fav Iwaoi fics holyyyyyyy. They start off as just acquaintances and then my weakness, the fake dating AU comes in and omggggg its soooo good. Less angst than many other fake dating fics which was a nice change of pace.

darlin’, your head’s not right by aruariandance

Summary: “Our wedding,” Oikawa says by way of explanation, tapping his finger against his magazine more emphatically. “What colors should we use? Color scheme is important, apparently.”

Iwaizumi feels his lifespan shortening.

“I was thinking our Aoba johsai colors to go for more, you know, softer tones? Besides, I’ve always looked great in that sea foam green color. Oh, and I guess you look decent in it, too.” He grins, saccharine sweet, and Iwaizumi has never been so tempted to knock one of his perfect pearly white teeth right out of his stupid mouth."

or,

Oikawa teases Iwaizumi about a childhood promise he made to marry him when they were older, except suddenly it's not really a joke at all.

This is such a sweet getting together fic omgg. Basically follows them living in Tokyo and going to uni and omgg its so freaking sweet plz read.

the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle by kittebasu (chanyeol)

Summary: Tooru is pretty sure he could manage the mating habits of a mosquito. It’s the mating habits of people he can’t seem to get right.

Basically Oikawa has to give up volleyball and becomes a professor but Iwa continues volleyball and the two have drifted apart and their friendship has weakened. THIS IS SO GOOD. This is a long one but man did I fly through it, the author is fantastic!! If you love Iwaoi give this a read.

Well that’s it for this list but it’s just a few to get ya started! If y’all want more I would be happy to provide, I have way too many bookmarks on ao3. Let me know if you read of these or have anymore Iwaoi recs for me!! Happy reading and stay safe everyone :)))

(unedited - not proofread)

MY IWA-CHAN ♡

by haijimee

— OIKAWA TOORU was jealous. So unbearably jealous. So jealous that his Iwa-chan, yes HIS. His Iwa-chan was walking around with that stupid rag-tag group of heroes to try and “defeat him.” How could this have happened? Everything between them was perfectly fine until that night.

That night..

Oikawa had a map spread across his desk in his lavish room, as Iwaizumi leaned over his shoulder to see it.

“So..what is this?” Iwaizumi asked, and Oikawa smiled.

“It’s my plan! All the little red pins are the kingdoms we’ll take over!” He chirped, as the map had red pins on every kingdom. Iwaizumi’s eyes narrowed.

“What happens if the kingdoms resist? Will anyone get hurt?” He asked, and Oikawa laughed in his head. Silly Iwa-chan didn’t know anything about taking over!

“Well duh, if they rebel we kill them!” He said, as if it was nothing. Iwaizumi stared at him in shock.

“But, Seijoh is on here, where our friends live! They’re not going to take kindly to someone trying to take them over!” He said, his eyes wide as he slammed his hand on Seijoh Kingdom on their map. Oikawa tutted, rolling his eyes.

“They have to bow down to us Iwa-chan. Whether they want to or not.” He said, and there was a short silence.

Iwaizumi broke it, his voice cold and quick as he spat,“Not us. You. I’m leaving.”

“What..?” Oikawa looked at him, smiling in disbelief. Leaving? No, Iwa-chan would never-

“You’re not the Oikawa I’m loyal too. You’ve lost it. When you finally come to your senses and become yourself again, come find me. Bye.” He spoke quickly, and Oikawa didn’t even realize he was gone until he heard the door slam, and then another door. The sound of drawers being pulled and things shoved in a bag, then the sound of the castle drawbridge going down. Finally, the neigh of a horse and the sound of galloping.

Leaving. Oikawa choked on the thought, as he ran to the nearest window. He saw his Iwa-chan riding off on a white horse, not even stopping to look back.

No. No no no no no no- Oikawa couldn’t believe it. No, his Iwa-chan would never leave him. He promised. He never broke promises, no, this wasn’t true.

He was gasping for breath, it wasn’t true. It was a hallucination of course. Of course. Some trick played by Kuroo or Bokuto. That was it.

He ran to Iwaizumis room, pounding on the door as he yelled his name.

“Iwa-chan! Iwa-chan open up this isn’t funny!” He cried, panicking. He rammed himself into the door and it gave in. He stood in shock as he looked around. The room was a mess! There were clothes everywhere, his drawers were empty and his wall of weapons was empty as well.

No.

Panic swallowed Oikawa as he stumbled back into his room, falling to his knees as he struggled to breathe. Hot tears burned his eyes and he tried so hard not to cry but gave in, covering his face with his hands as he cried. His body shook as it was racked with painful sobs.

As he finished his throat was raw from crying, and tears still slipped from his eyes and down his cheeks.

“Iwa..*hic*..chan...” he sobbed, as snot dripped from his nose and his eyes were red and puffy. He didn’t like this. He didn’t. How could this have happened? Why? Why did Iwa-chan leave him?

Months later Oikawa sat watching the crystal ball as he did everyday. He watched with an annoyed glare as Iwa-chan bumbled around with those loser heroes. The weird wizard Kenma, the creepily quiet giant Aone, the strange eyed elf Akaashi, the annoying short little knight Hinata...and Tobio-kun..

He felt disgust flow through him as he cringed at the thought. How could Iwa-chan leave him for...for TOBIO? He couldn’t understand it.

He watched as the group sat around a campfire, telling jokes and stories and completely unaware that they were being watched. Oikawa felt his heart pound and a soft smile cross his face as he watched Iwaizumis barking laugh and smile, the one that made his eyes close and his cheeks be so upturned it creases his eyes. It was Oikawas smile. He was the only one supposed to see it. Bitterness nipped at his heart as he realized that.

As he came back from his daze and looked back at the crystal ball he felt anger boil in his veins, his nails digging into his palms at the sight.

Little Tobio-kun tapping Iwaizumi on the shoulder, asking something softly as Iwaizumi stood up. He said something and Iwaizumi made that smile again, before hugging Tobio. Close.

Oikawa was shaking with rage as he watched. And that dirty Tobio had the audacity to bury his head in Iwaizums shoulders.

Get off him, get off him, get off him. His mind chanted as he stared. This brat was getting on his nerves. Oikawa felt jealousy burning in his gut. It should be him. He should be hugging Iwaizumi and burying his head in his shoulder. Feeling that immense body warmth and those strong arms wrapping around him. Whispering words of encouragement. To him. Not Tobio. It should be him.

Present day, Oikawa sat atop the pile of stone rubble that was his castle, as he put his elbow on his knee and cupped his chin. He watched in disgust as everyone else got their happy endings. Even stupid Kuroo and Bokuto.

Kuroo was hugging his childhood friend, who was in fact Kenma the weird wizard. Bokuto was spinning around, the strange elf Akaashi in his arms. He only stopped for a few seconds to hug Akaashi and squish their cheeks together. Akaashi looked happy as a clam. It made Oikawa want to puke.

That quiet giant Aone was beet red as a flirty tree nymph named Futakuchi blabbered about how strong Aone was. Gross. And stupid stupid Tobio-kun was with little knight Hinata, who was jumping around like an idiot.

Oikawa was so jealous. Everyone else got what they wanted it wasn’t fair it wasn’t-

“Oi are you going to keep brooding or get up?” A voice asked. He froze, looking up as the sun almost blinded him, but the shadow in front of it was something he so longed to see.

“Iwa-chan...” he whispered, his red eyes staring into those lime green ones. He was here. Iwa-chan. His Iwa-chan!

“You finally came to your senses, huh?” Iwaizumi laughed, giving that eye creasing big smile. He reached out his hand and Oikawa almost fell trying to grab it, standing up as he looked at Iwaizumi. “You look like shit.” Iwaizumi said, smirking.

Oikawa couldn’t take it, he leaped, practically sobbing as he tackled Iwaizumi.

“IWA-CHANNNNN!!” He cried, as Iwaizumi howled as he fell. Oikawa had his arms wrapped around his knights waist, sobbing and blubbering as he tried to hold Iwaizumi as close as possible. “Iwa-chan please don’t ever ever leave me again!! I’m sorry I’m really sorry I’m so dumb please stay with me!!” He begged, apologizing and crying.

Iwaizumi sat rigid, before barking out a laugh.

“Shittykawa that was a one time thing. I made a promise remember!” He said, and Oikawa stared at him, “but if you ever let your ego get that big again I won’t come back next time!” Iwaizumi growled, pinching Oikawas cheek.

Oikawa whined, sitting up as he hugged Iwaizumi properly. His arms wrapped around Iwaizumis neck, his face buried in his shoulder. Iwaizumi was frozen, before melting. He wrapped his strong arms around Oikawas back, softly leaning his head on Oikawa’s.

“Iwa-chan don’t ever hug anyone like this again Okay? Only me. I’m the only one who gets to see your smile too. Those things belong to me..” he mumbled, and Iwaizumis face grew hot, a red blush spreading across his face.

“Hey Stupidkawa are you screwing with me-“

“And You. You belong to me too.!And I belong to you. You’re the only one who gets my hugs and dumb smiles. That’s how it works.” Oikawa said softly, hiding his pink face.

Iwaizumi said nothing, just held the demon a little tighter, inhaling his scent of burnt caramel and charcoal. Oikawa smiled as he buried his head into Iwaizumis neck, feeling the warm skin against his cold cheek.

My Iwa-chan...

Iwaoi Fic List (Part 1)

Last Updated: 3/11/22

[First posted 7/18/20]

This is a compilation of iwaoi fics to help me keep track of what I’ve read so far & feel free to recommend any to me that you think I should check out!

Part 2 (Post-Canon) | Part 3 (Extended Canon & Other)

♡= Recommend

★♡= Highly Recommend

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUs

♡ I Choose You- TripsH

Soulmates | Fluff and Angst | Rated T | 10k | 1/1

Iwaizumi Hajime's clock hasn't ticked for as long as he can remember.

by chance- crossbelladonna

When Iwaizumi Hajime meets Oikawa Tooru, suddenly everything bursts into color. The only problem is that for the other, it doesnt seem to happen the same way.

the world is black and white until you meet your soulmate au

♡ Call Me But Love- ricekrispyjoints

“When I meet my Soulmate, I hope she’s smarter than you,” Iwaizumi says. They’re thirteen, and Oikawa doesn’t think that believing in aliens makes him stupid at all, but he’s less bothered by the insult and more that Iwaizumi says “she”. “Your Soulmate’s a girl?” Oikawa asks hesitantly. “Well, my Mark came in yesterday, and it’s a girl’s name, so…” “Oh."

***

Oikawa's Soulmark says Hajime, but Iwaizumi's doesn't say Tooru.

♡ you’re that alien kid- zxrysky

Iwaizumi's starting to notice Oikawa. Notice his hair, his eyes, his neck, and-

It's distracting and just a little wrong, first of all because he's Iwaizumi's best friend, and second of all Iwaizumi plans on waiting for his soulmate. The words are etched on his wrist, foretelling his meeting with his other half.

But Oikawa's just there, he isn't leaving, and with every passing day Iwaizumi-

Iwaizumi-

Iwaizumi falls in love.

Those Three Words on Your Wrist- Isseiro

Iwaizumi and Oikawa found out they were soul mates when they were too young to understand what it really meant.

Now they're pretending the words on their wrist don't exist, and Oikawa's hiding what exactly is going on at home. - Oikawa looks at Iwa-chan then, mesmerizing the curve of his face, the way sunlight shifts and swirls in his chocolate eyes so they look like stained glass, the way his lips are plump and rose-petal-pink, slightly chapped, because he chews them when he’s nervous. He feels a thick twist of something in his gut, and he tried to remember if he feels it when he looks at any other friends

★♡ Permanent- Ellessey

'Oikawa was so certain that his love for Iwa-chan couldn’t have grown the way it had, if they weren’t already soulmates who were just too young to have received their marks yet.

And so, he gave fate a hand and marked himself as Iwa-chan’s himself, showed up at school, blushing and excited and proud, and Iwa-chan had just flushed a little and nodded his head. Not surprised in the least, because of course that was where they were heading all along. All they had to do was wait for Iwa-chan’s mark to appear, for Oikawa’s real one to do the same.

Except that it didn’t.'

Oikawa wants to stop lying to himself, and to Iwa-chan. He needs to let fate run its course, wherever it takes them, no matter how scary that may be.

Tooru’s Toil and Trouble- quinnlocke

Soulmates | Mild Angst | Rated T | 11k | 1/1

Tooru's been obsessed with finding his soulmate for years to no avail.

Giving up is easy; joining Akaashi and Bokuto for goth night before Halloween is even easier. But when Tooru realizes he's gotten his soulmark after dancing with a stranger who disappears; he decides to throw himself in earnest into tracking down one, Iwaizumi Hajime, for an interview as a distraction.

A Halloween themed Soulmate AU with soulmarks, pranks, ridiculous costumes and enough koamoji's to kill Iwa-chan!

Birthmarks- librarybooks

Soulmates | Falling In Love | Rated T | 9k | 1/1

The marks were on your skin when you were born - this was something everyone knew. For some, the marks were a blessing; for others, a curse. Tooru's marks were dark and oddly placed, bruises that promised violence. Given their shape and location, no one had ever suspected that it could actually lead to a friendly encounter. Now really, how was he supposed to know? After all, Tooru was only six years old when he met Hajime.

♡ "I don’t have a soulmate,” said the liar- Chrystie, kate882

Soulmates | College/University | Rated T | 4k | 1/1

On Oikawa’s twenty first birthday he was dragged out to celebrate that his soulmark was about to appear by Kuroo at midnight. At 2:38 in the morning he looked at his wrist, saw Iwaizumi Hajime written across it, took another shot, and made a note in his phone to start wearing a watch.

please tell me you'll stay or take me away (i want you for myself every single day)- thatsformetoknow

'Hey, happy birthday.' He said, voice rasping with sleep and Tooru couldn't bring himself to smile back, breathing coming fast and eyes wide and panicked.

Hajime blinked at him for a few moments before getting up and joining Tooru on his own bed. He took Tooru's covered arm in his hand.

'Have you looked?'

Tooru shook his head wildly.

Joke’s on You!- sapphire_eyes27

Soulmate AU where a strip of their hair is the same color as their soulmate's but when they dye their hair, the strip in their soulmate's hair changes too. It's April Fool’s Day so naturally Oikawa has something up his sleeve for his best friend, Iwaizumi. What makes his prank sweeter is that it’ll not only ruin Iwaizumi’s life but also the life of his supposed “soulmate”. Boy, is Oikawa in for a surprise.

not about to go looking- trashwriter

Hajime wants to tell him right then, to say: “I love you and if I ever do meet my match it’ll probably be the worst fucking thing that ever happens to me.”

He gets as far as opening his mouth when Oikawa interrupts again.

The Most Inconvenient Way to Find One’s Soulmate- Chrystie, kate882

After falling out of another relationship, famous actor Oikawa Tooru, decides to just skip the dating and find his soulmate. Posting a picture of your soul mark on Twitter may work for some people, but if you're an actor what really happens is an influx of people pretending to be your soulmate, as Oikawa quickly finds out. It's a good thing Suga is a fan, or else Iwaizumi may never have known that his soulmark matched the one of the actor he didn't really like.

♡ Not Quite What You Planned- MellowWrites

It seemed pretty simple and it made sense to those who bought it, but the actual science behind it was complicated and far too lengthy to comprehend. But the point of the TiMER was simple - a digital clock that would count down to the exact day you met your soulmate.

That was the ideal romantic future Tooru had grown up with.

★♡ just hear me out- loveclouds

To stimulate Japan's low birthrates and take most of the guesswork out of dating, a beeper system was biologically developed in people's wrists, an audible confirmation to show romantic compatibility.

Iwaizumi's beeper has been going off for Oikawa since they've been kids. Oikawa's has only ever been silent.

焦がれて怖くなる [I yearn for you so much that I'm getting scared]- sunburst_city

Tooru's body is littered with different flowers. Hajime's is, too. Not as many as Tooru has, but enough for Tooru to rest assured that Hajime will never realize that the cluster of red and yellow camellias above his heart are from Tooru.

(AU where flowers bloom on your body like tattoos when someone experiences particularly strong or long-lasting emotions for you.)

♡ have mercy on me- hiuythn

Hajime looks at the black and white slides, takes in the way the plant grows uninhibited inside him. He presses a hand to his ribcage. It doesn’t even feel like there’s anything wrong.

Or, Hajime gets the Hanahaki disease.

Born from unrequited love, the patient throws up flowers and could suffocate if not treated. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals.

Hanahaki Disease | Angst with a Happy Ending | Rated T | 8k | 1/1

As if slowly suffocating on flowers from unrequited love wasn’t enough, an unrequited love for your soulmate turns the flowers to poison and changes a disease from treatable to fatal.

On the day Iwaizumi turns eighteen, a soulmate mark is branded onto his skin. Unfortunately, it’s also the day he starts dying.

Hanahaki- weirdmilk

Hanahaki Disease | Angst with a Happy Ending | Rated T | 3k | 1/1

Oikawa is afflicted with Hanahaki disease - an illness borne of love believed to be unrequited - that causes him to cough up bright blue flowers.

‘What’s in your hand?’ Iwaizumi’s voice trembles like a violin string. He already knows.

♡ Ode to a Nightingale- sweetalysssum

There had been no Tooru without Hajime for a long time, just as there would be no Oikawa without Iwaizumi. There's no place where his platonic feelings towards Iwaizumi stop and the romantic one's begin. Either way, Tooru is playing at a game he has no chance of winning, as losing him would kill him just as surly as the flowers would.

In which Tooru gets Hanahaki, and makes a string of questionable decisions.

“So, let me see if I understood this correctly,” Hajime says, slow and careful like he’s still waiting for some kind of punchline. “You want me to help Oikawa Tooru, a guy I barely know, because your boyfriend owes him a favor?”

“And you owe me a favor,” Hanamaki adds helpfully.

“That doesn’t even make any sense!”

' “Again, why are you here?”

Propping his elbow up on the table and leaning his chin into his hand, Oikawa offered another charming smile. “I was rushing home from my part-time job and just missed the bus. How awful! You know that bus only comes every half hour? I had no choice but to wait for the next one and my phone died while I was sending a snapchat about my unfortunate evening. Then I saw someone who looked even more unfortunate across the street in this restaurant. He kept checking his watch and looking out the window and getting harassed by a pretty waitress for such a long time! It looked like the poor bloke was stood up by his date. So I decided to come in and save the night!” '

“Says the man who got plain vanilla.” Oikawa teases back without missing a beat. “Is that what you prefer in other avenues of your life? Simple and safe and vanilla?”

A hot flush rises up Iwaizumi’s neck. “Shut up, Shittykawa.”

Oikawa’s laugh tinkles in delight around them. “Don’t worry, Hajime. I’ll be happy to spice up your life.”

Oh, God, Iwaizumi thinks as he feels his flush deepen, are we flirting?

All Iwaizumi wants to do is hang out at the greenhouse with his plants and get through his final year of college. Oikawa has other plans for him.

♡ Stardust- oiivkawa

It was strange, really: Iwaizumi would have never taken the star setter for the school’s Varsity boys volleyball team to be such a nerd.

Oikawa's smart, good-looking and very much believes that aliens exist. Iwaizumi isn't inclined to agree, but he can't stop entertaining Oikawa's whims and allowing him to pull Iwaizumi towards a concept he doesn't think can be true.

Though he has a hard time sticking to his beliefs when Oikawa's so passionate and charming. Somewhere along the way though, Iwaizumi realizes that maybe believing in aliens isn't such a bad thing if it means witnessing Oikawa's sunny smile.

★♡ Coffee King- oiivkawa

“I’m in love,” Oikawa declared, succumbing to the warm embrace of his arms once more, burying his head deep within the confines.

“You’re dating someone? Oh shit, I didn’t know that,” Kuroo whistled.

“I wish,” Oikawa responded with a sigh, memory flashing back to the handsome stranger and his green eyes, warm complexion, and those arms –

“Oh, so it’s that kind of love. Alright, hit me. What’s his name?” Oikawa’s face twisted down in an offended glare. “You don’t know his name?” Kuroo asked carefully, lips teetering on the edge of a smile.

“Not yet, but I will. Mark my words, the next time he comes in here I’m going to get his name and his number,” Oikawa announced firmly.

“That is, if he comes back. You know, this could have been a one time thing,” Bokuto reminded unhelpfully.

“I take back what I said earlier. I’m firing you,” Oikawa deadpanned.

♡ rich boy, poor boy- project_ecto

College/University | Strangers to Lovers | Rated M | 107k | 15/15

Iwaizumi Hajime never asked for much. Coming from a humble background, all he wanted was to be able to pay his school fees while making a few quick bucks with the various odd jobs he can fit into his already pitiable university life.

So he thinks it’s his grand misfortune when he gets more than what he can handle – Oikawa Tooru, the richest and most eligible bachelor in the school. It wouldn’t have been so bad if Oikawa didn’t have such an awful personality – and if they weren’t worlds apart.

But life has a different idea, and the world has a way of bringing together two starkly different souls.

“Your coupons expired yesterday,” Iwaizumi informs him curtly, sticking his hand out at the customer and thrusting the brochure back at him. “And even if they didn’t, it says in the fine print that the offer is limited to up to four items anyway, so.”

“What the fuck,” the customer says. “I'm suing Target.”

College/University | Yoga | Rated T | 14k | 3/3

Iwaizumi Hajime lives a simple life revolving around volleyball, working out for volleyball, and his studies. There isn't much room for relationships, but he can't complain too much. When he begins to have some muscle trouble that gets in the way of his favorite sport, Suga and Daichi suggest that he join them in their yoga class. His yoga instructor turns out to be stupidly attractive, but also incredibly annoying...despite himself, Hajime and his particular brand of angry seduction keep going to the class to see what happens.

♡ #hacked- Frenchibi

He's been doing better lately, though it's still not easy. The whole volleyball thing - if people ask, he says he's fine, but... obviously he isn't. And then there's the living with your childhood best friend/pillar/crush thing, which overall is pretty great, except that it's not great at all, it's like a roller coaster ride with one too many loops; stressful as hell and really bad for Oikawa's heart rate.

it’s lonely on jupiter- skyestiel

"It isn’t often that someone comes along and surprises Iwaizumi. He’s not easily caught off guard, not at all. Or at least that’s what he likes to think. So, when Oikawa Tooru shows up, a living, breathing oxymoron strutting about on two solid legs, he must admit that he’s a little impressed."

or: Oikawa's always loved aliens but never thought he'd actually fall in love with one

When The World Stops Spinning (I'll know it's you)- Hyeyu

“Let me get this straight.” Hajime presses the palm of his hand to his forehead, trying in vain to iron out the irritated furrow that had lodged itself between his eyebrows. He doesn’t have time for this; there are at least three assignments in varying states of completion on his desk. One of them is due in two days and he’s barely started on it. “You’re claiming you have been cursed.”

“Mm hmm.”

“Magically.”

“Yup.”

Oikawa has been cursed to kiss fifty people in a week or else become a toad. Iwaizumi did not sign up for this.

♡ (Drag me 'Round) Kicking and Screaming- Frenchibi

The Thing topples ungracefully off his chest and right into his lap- and it lets out an indignant squeal. "Wah, what the-" Hajime knows that voice.

All is the same, except Oikawa can read minds.

As he carried Tooru, Hajime thought:

Heavy.

“Am I heavy, Iwa-chan?” Tooru smiled, though his knees ached. Hajime’s hair smelled of dirt and his neck of water from the stream he splashed himself with moments ago.

“The heaviest,” Iwa-chan said.

Tooru hummed and his hands around Hajime’s neck clung harder. At that moment, he was so filled with happiness that it came as no surprise he was so heavy.

Up the mossy mountain steps, past the komainu guardians and the faded red gate, and beyond the boundaries of the green shrine—that’s where the forest and the spirit world within it lies. That’s were Hajime met him, and where their story began.

But intertwining of destinies can be ugly business, Hajime finds, when their first meeting begins with blood and the too-human eyes of a beast.

{Amazing Studio Ghibli vibes!!}

★♡ here comes your man- newamsterdam

Iwaizumi’s left his cell phone on the bench, and while Suga keeps his gaze away from Iwaizumi the phone lights up with a new message.

Iwa-chan, it reads, Have a good day today! Good luck! <3 <3 <3

Suga chokes. It’s hard to imagine anyone calling the scowling and fierce Doctor Iwaizumi “Iwa-chan.” But marriage probably comes with all sorts of liberties.

Mrs. Iwaizumi must be quite the doting wife, Suga thinks. Delivering hand-made bentos and sending along loving messages.

No one really knows much about the new surgical resident, Doctor Iwaizumi, other than the fact that he's married. Suga's determined to find out more, and make a friend of him in the process.

★♡ you’ll never wait so long- newamsterdam

Matsukawa hums thoughtfully. “You know, I’m probably not the best person to give advice about relationships, but I’m sure your man’s going to be just fine. Scary-looking as you are, Iwaizumi, I get the feeling that you’re a pretty good husband.”

Iwaizumi isn’t sure what that’s supposed to mean, but it sounds like a compliment. “Um. Thanks?”

Matsukawa’s lips stretch into a thin, but not insincere smile. “You’re welcome. Look, you trust this guy of yours, right?”

The answer comes easily. “I trust him with my life.”

“See? There you go—”

But Iwaizumi isn’t done, and he continues, talking over Matsukawa. “Just not with his own.”

Doctor Iwaizumi Hajime's life has been going so well, it only makes sense that there'd be complications to follow. If only his husband would tell him what those complications are, he'd be able to fix things.

{Sequel to here comes your man but can be read as a standalone}

Stop the Time- Verbrennung

Iwaizumi Hajime, 27, E.R. nurse at University of Tokyo Hospital. Some people think that life working in one of the biggest E.R. departments in the Tokyo metropolis must be hard - Iwaizumi thinks that if he didn't have to spend half of his time entertaining/cooking for/babysitting/avoiding one of the most ridiculous doctors to ever enter the medical profession, his job would be a piece of cake.

He has a hard enough time admitting that he and Oikawa are even friends, with how much of a pain in his ass the doctor can be. By the time he figures out that he's in love with the idiot, Oikawa has driven him mad enough that he just accepts it.

‘Dr. Oikawa Tooru,’ Iwaizumi replies, and barely has time to yank his body back as Suga chokes on and almost sprays out a mouthful of alcohol.

‘What is it,’ Iwaizumi says, feeling a little unnerved.

In response, Suga simply drags a pitcher of alcohol from across the table, and starts to tip more beer into Iwaizumi’s glass. ‘You’re going to need this,’ Suga says.

Oikawa, on first impression, looks nothing like the devil from hell that Hajime soon learns him to be. Rather, he looks soft and handsome, wrapped up in a scarf to ward away the autumn chill, hair perfectly styled and brown eyes warm. He is taller than Hajime, his clothes just thin enough to cling to the defined muscle of his arms and Hajime reflects that he really is good-looking.

It really is too bad that his order is the stupidest thing that Hajime has ever heard.

A man walks out of the back room to the shop, holding a tray out by his chest at an arms’ width away with a neutral expression on his face. When he meets Oikawa’s eyes, though, his lips tug upward as he wishes the two of them a welcome, going back to his job with lining the shelves in sweets of all kinds. If the small smile he gave wasn’t enough to stop Oikawa’s heart, the way his muscles flexed in that sleeveless shirt sure did, and yeah—he was definitely coming back here again.

(Or; Iwaizumi is a baker and Oikawa suddenly has a craving for sweets every day.)

It would be weirder if neither of them had ever heard of each other than if they had.

“You’ve already asked me this nine times this morning, senpai. It looks good, no, I don’t see anything out of place, people are going to eat it up and take a billion photos with you and seriously, why do you care so much about what Iwaizumi-senpai is going to-”

“I do not fucking care,” Tooru hissed through a gritted smile as he waved to a couple of familiar faces rushing past, “about what that pedant says about my cosplays. I do not.”

Iwaizumi closes his eyes, exhales. He wonders how it’s possible that every time Oikawa returns, it’s like he never left at all. They laugh and they kiss and act like nothing could ever separate them up to the moment of his departure. Then he slips through Iwaizumi’s fingers like gossamer thread, and the year of emptiness in between visits grows longer every time.

Romantic Comedy | Rated G/T/M | 91k | Works: 12

Oikawa and Iwaizumi are like every other ordinary husbands - They live together in a comfortable home, have dinner together every night, fight over who has to do the dishes, it's all very mundane

The only difference is they also happen to be super spies who embark on A-level dangerous missions in extreme conditions and encounter some of the most notorious villains to exist.

Super spy husband AU! because we all love a BAMF Iwaizumi and Oikawa

{This is a series and every single work is amazing!}

The One With The Spies- hangoverhater

Spies & Secret Agents | Rated N/A | 101k | Works: 15

There's an Agency. They take freelance jobs, mostly if they're morally right. Sometimes if they pay well. Mostly the moral-thing. The people working for the Agency are... eccentric.

A Spy AU with as many volleydorks I manage to comfortably cast. Main characters are Iwaizumi and Oikawa, other frequent fliers are Daichi and Suga, cameos mostly by Kuroo and Bokuto (until I can give them the one-shot they deserve). This will mostly consist of one-shots that can be read in whatever order possible. If there's one that needs to be read before another, there'll be a note.

♡ Hell Mission- codename_bewareofthefangirl

Iwaizumi should have known, from the moment his eyes had lingered a second too much on that fake, flamboyant smile, that the mission would have been a hell. “It’s the usual bodyguard stuff!” they had said, “It’s only a week!”, “You’re attending a wedding! You can eat and enjoy yourself as much as you want!” they had repeated while pushing him on a plane to L.A.

Bullshit.

After three hours of following around his never-stopping target, the same guy had had the guts to corner Iwaizumi and shamelessly hit on him. His target, Oikawa Tooru, was the devil himself.

♡ The Thief and The Gentleman- idontevenlogic

Spy!Iwaizumi | Thief!Oikawa | Rated M | 9k | 1/1

Iwaizumi Hajime is a top tier espionage agent for Seijoh Agency who makes a fatal mistake on a routine job after he meets the most beautiful man he's ever laid eyes on.

Spy AU where the spy (Iwaizumi) gets a huge crush on the thief (Oikawa) that he's supposed to catch.

♡ Kotov Syndrome- valiantarmor

Slow Build | Rated M | 50k | 9/9

Corruption is brewing in Seijou's police force. Oikawa Tooru, the captain of Special Investigations, is put onto a case where he cannot afford to fail.

But despite his best efforts, not everything goes according to plan.

(You Got Me) Locked Down- Verbrennung

Police | Drugs Raid | Rated T | 8k | 1/1

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Organized Crime Control Bureau has set up a sting operation to catch a drug deal in the act, with the specific aim of arresting known criminal Ikeda Yasunori, one of the key players in Tokyo's illegal drug trade. He has a violent past and if they make any mistakes, he's going to take the opportunity to run. That's where Iwaizumi comes in.

It's fairly standard procedure to have at least one handler and canine pair at an operation, and Iwaizumi's one of the best. His canine partner Maro is aggressive enough to terrify the majority of the force, and that's just fine by him. If this guy's as nasty and desperate as the briefing makes him out to be, that aggression might be just what they need.

♡ What You Came For- Deathbelle

Iwaizumi Hajime, newly promoted sergeant of the Tokyo Police, is a man of discretion and good judgment. When he meets Oikawa Tooru at a club, it suddenly becomes more difficult to exercise that good judgment. Oikawa is free and flirtatious and all all of the things that Iwaizumi cannot allow himself to be. Despite his resolution to stay away, he gets dragged into Oikawa's orbit and doesn't have the will to find his way back out.

Meanwhile, a drug scandal is brewing in Tokyo. A new mystery drug is spreading among the nightlife, and several deaths have been linked to its use. Iwaizumi finds himself on the front lines of the investigation, which is made more difficult when his work life becomes inextricably intertwined with his new social life.

Iwaizumi finds himself torn between his career and Oikawa Tooru, straddling the line of professionalism and duty. Iwaizumi has the responsibility to do the right thing, but it it's becoming more and more unclear what the right thing actually is. He has to choose a side, and his decision could save or end more lives.

Rookie Mistakes- Deathbelle

Lieutenant Iwaizumi has met a lot of new recruits during his time as a training officer. Some were easier to handle than others, but he's never had any serious problems.

But he's never met anyone quite like Oikawa Tooru.

Oikawa is a menace, Iwaizumi is running out of patience, and the two of them struggle to find a way to work together.

♡ Kireji: や- CheekyBrunette

Oikawa leaned against the bar and checked his watch. He wasn’t wearing an earpiece; but he didn’t need one. All he needed was the recording device taped to his chest and the gun and radio hidden on his hip under his tuxedo jacket.

“You know, going undercover only works if we haven’t met.”

Oikawa inwardly groaned. Where was his scotch when he needed it? “I’m here for someone else,” Oikawa said, turning around to meet Iwaizumi’s eye. “Don’t flatter yourself thinking I would dress up like this for someone like you.”

★♡ The Loyalty of a Traitor- DeathBelle

Iwaizumi Hajime was an undercover officer with a single objective: Infiltrate the Seijoh Syndicate of the Yakuza and tear them down from the inside out. His primary target was the boss, Oikawa Tooru. The job itself was simple enough, until Iwaizumi got in too deep and absconded not only from the mission, but from the city itself.

Now, two years later, he’s dragged back into Tokyo’s unsavory underworld. A grisly string of murders is plaguing the city, and the culprits are most definitely Yakuza. The problem is discovering which Syndicate is responsible, and Iwaizumi – the leading expert on Yakuza affairs – is the man most suited for the job.

Despite his determination to stay away from Tokyo – and from Oikawa – Iwaizumi finds himself right back in the middle of Seijoh, and it feels a lot more like home than he’d care to admit.

♡ Blind Allegiance- DeathBelle

When Oikawa had set out to make a name for himself in the gritty underworld of the yakuza, he had demanded respect with a smile on his face, a gun in his hand, and Iwaizumi by his side. Anyone on the outside looking in would have wondered why Iwaizumi had sacrificed so much – his family, his morals, his future – for Oikawa’s twisted ambitions. They wouldn’t have understood why Iwaizumi had made his decisions, and he wouldn’t have expected them to. Sometimes even he wondered how he’d ended up there, caught up in the violent affairs of the yakuza. He wondered, but when he looked at Oikawa, everything became clear.

★♡ Moral Ambiguity- DeathBelle

Serial Killer Iwaizumi | Psychologist Oikawa | Rated E | 17k | 1/1

Oikawa Tooru, a decorated forensic psychologist, has never met a criminal he couldn’t break. He knows how they think and he’s an expert of persuasion.

Japan’s most famous serial killer, Iwaizumi Hajime, may be the exception.

Iwaizumi isn’t quite like the criminals Oikawa has worked with in the past. He isn’t bloodthirsty or psychotic, and he shows no propensity toward violence or aggression. Once he gets past his bad attitude, he's actually quite pleasant, and Oikawa doesn’t mind the hours he spends in Iwaizumi’s underground cell.

In fact, the more Oikawa learns about him, the more he begins to believe Iwaizumi doesn’t deserve to spend a lifetime in prison.

♡ Lockdown- DeathBelle

Prison | Violence | Rated E | 73k | 17/17

Oikawa expects that his time in prison won't be the best two years of his life. What he doesn't expect is an antisocial cellblock, a half-crazed redhead who insists on befriending him, and the wildcard boss of Block Three who builds a grudge against him on day one. Worst of all is the menacing Iwaizumi Hajime, to whom Oikawa becomes an unwilling cellmate. Iwaizumi is coarse, unpleasant, and makes it quite clear that he wants nothing to do with Oikawa.

At first, anyway.

Within the first few months of his stay, Oikawa gets caught up in a war between cellblocks, becomes a prime target, and must decide just how far he's willing to go to protect Iwaizumi Hajime.

♡ Desperado- Verbrennung

Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone. It’s probably got something to do with the boy in the polaroids, though. Retired pickpocket & conman Iwaizumi Hajime receives an invitation he can't possibly decline, pulling him back into his old life to work a job with his old friends and ex-lover Oikawa Tooru. His mostly-legit apprentice Kyoutani gets dragged along for the ride. It's a complete mess.

Flower Shop | Strangers to Friends to (Eventually) Lovers | Rated T | 5k | 1/1

Oikawa is so done with Ushijima’s “You should have come to Shiratorizawa” bullshit after Sejou’s bitter defeat against Shiratorizawa. Poor Iwaizumi is just trying to care for his grandmother’s flower shop. From the tumblr prompt: Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say 'fuck you' in flower?”

electric feel- falchion

“Hey there,” Iwaizumi said, giving Oikawa a wry smile. “I’m your new god.”

There were two things Oikawa could tell about this man at a glance. One, that this ‘Iwaizumi’ guy was an asshole, and that two, he wasn’t going to hide that fact. Feeling himself grow hot at the condescending tone this man was taking with him, Oikawa shot him a steely look before lowering himself into a half-assed bow. “I’m Oikawa Tooru, I’m looking forward to working together with you.”

Not.

"so i accidentally summoned an incubus and you show up with your engine running, but see the problem is i'm actually asexual and this is just sort of awkward for both of us."

Iwaizumi's life is hard enough. Accidentally getting contracted to a perpetually horny sex demon who doesn't know the meaning of sleep and thinks milk bread is humanity's greatest creation is the worst possible thing that could happen to him. Falling in love with him? Alright -- maybe that's the worst thing.

♡ Leave Me Your Stardust- starlitcities

“All life across the cosmos feel emotion. It’s expressed in different ways, sure. Some emotions are felt more than others, yes.” Koushi carefully places Mars back into orbit above his head. “You’re not used to feeling this way because you never have.”

“Stop,” Oikawa whispers, “are you actually implying… that I care about him?”

“I’m not implying anything,” Koushi shrugs. “And you would do well to listen to our warnings when we tell you that you really need to pull back. I’m no longer saying this for that human’s sake, but for your own, Tooru.”

Oikawa had always wanted to be an alpha like Iwaizumi. He hated being a beta – the lesser status, but not entirely the least. That was until he experienced his first heat during his second year in university, and he wonders if it's too late to turn back into a beta.

“I’ve been seeing the same face,” he explains. “In my dreams. Several nights already. And he has a name this time.”

“Oh, you meant that Iwa-chan?” Oikawa nods; Matsukawa’s eyes shoot up in interest, quickly abandoning Banana Yoshimoto for the meantime. “That’s... strange. Hey— Oikawa, do you know about that theory?”

“What theory?”

“Y’know, the hearsay about you dreaming of someone,” he wriggles his hand vaguely. “That the person you’re dreaming of is actually thinking about you.”

Oikawa’s left eye squints, because anything Matsukawa says is pure shit. “He doesn’t exist.”

The only way for an unfamiliar face to become familiar is to let them live incessantly in your head — perhaps too much, enough to incarnate them to life.

Tooru huffed. "It's nothing, really. Some boys teased me about dating Iwa-chan."

Hanamaki burst out laughing. "You and Iwaizumi? That's hilarious."

Tooru frowned at him. "How is that hilarious?"

Oikawa doesn't want to get another girlfriend before the end of high school, and he also doesn't like the idea that people view his best friend as undateable. He just might have the perfect solution for both problems. A little fake dating never hurt anybody, right?

It was the fourth time experiencing the exact same day that Iwaizumi Hajime reluctantly admitted to himself that something was very wrong.

In a stroke of misfortune, Oikawa gets struck by lightning. But instead of having Lichtenberg figures bloom across his skin, he finds himself with the ability to travel through space and time. And with every version of reality he travels to, one thing always remains the same: he’s in love with Iwaizumi Hajime.

★♡ Take a glimpse at dear future me- Akira_kun

Oikawa’s shenanigans had always been the origin of Iwaizumi’s headaches. From overwork to getting both of them grounded for whatever silly reason, Iwaizumi dealt with it all. But being suddenly and inexplicably dragged into the future, with 30 minutes to explore the unknown, was definitely a whole new level of mischief.

Oikawa pulled them to the future for 30 minutes and Iwaizumi is freaking out about it.

Some people develop powers as they grow older; others don't. This fact doesn’t bother Oikawa Tooru too much, at least not when he’s young. Then, at eight years old, Iwaizumi Hajime discovers his own ability. He’s stronger than anyone could be, given human limitations. It’s a broad and useful power, one that could take Iwaizumi down any number of paths in the future. He’s discovered his ability early, too, and all of the adults in the neighborhood say that he’s got a bright future ahead of him.

Oikawa could’ve told them that ages ago—he’s always known Iwaizumi is special, long before he started being able to lift furniture with one hand. Everything Iwaizumi does, Oikawa has always done with him. So he goes home and waits for his own ability to manifest.

Nearly ten years later, on the eve of the last tournament of his high school volleyball career, he’s still waiting.

Squinting, the brunet pauses on the last step of the stairs, rubbing at his eyes to ensure he’s not seeing things. The sight remains - a man seemingly carved out of rock stands in front of the wall of postboxes, a laughably small canvas bag slung around his shoulder as blocky hands carefully slots envelopes into the various boxes. The figure towers imposingly, looking for all the world like an animated sculpture of one of the Western knights bards sing of in old Arthurian legends.

The superhero - it could only be a superhero, with that kind of appearance - looks up as Oikawa approaches. “Sorry. Almost done.” His voice is the scrape of gravel against granite.

Oikawa Tooru, ace reporter of the superhero beat of Asahi Shimbun, hates superheroes. Or maybe he just hasn't met the knight one yet.

♡ something tragic, something so magic- thelittlebirdthattoldyou

It’s strange. Considering how popular he is, it should be impossible for Oikawa to keep it a secret. Kindaichi has only been on the team for a day, but he already knows about the other supernaturals on the team. Matsukawa-san’s family dabbles in witchcraft. Yahaba-san is part fae.

Iwaizumi-senpai comes from a werewolf bloodline. Kindaichi knows this because one of their practice matches at Kitagawa Daiichi had aligned with the full moon, and he had to stay home. They lost badly because Oikawa opted to sit out and take care of his best friend rather than play.

Five times people tried to guess what kind of supernatural Oikawa was, and one time someone already knew (and loved him for it anyway).

Hanamaki shrugged. “It’s Iwaizumi, he literally has ‘rock’ in his name,” he pointed out.

“He thought my animal blood was wine—I’ve been drinking it around him for the last fifteen years! How does he still think it's whatever red beverage that's convenient for the occasion?”

“I mean, you do remember how he religiously bought you those vending machine tomato juice cans, right?”

Quite honestly, Tooru still expected this so-called ‘temporary truce’ to come down to that - another bloody skirmish, much like all the fights against Aobajousai had been. More lives lost, more damage sustained. Aobajousai was unyielding, a blunt hammer of brute force that had smashed itself blindly against Seijou’s armies far too many times to count.

Still, now there was an official document that bore the seal of Aobajousai’s crest, tucked snugly in Yahaba’s pack. On it was a call for a ceasefire, one long enough to discuss the possibility of a truce between the two warring kingdoms. It had been an uncharacteristically diplomatic gesture, one that Tooru felt compelled to meet in equal measure, despite every instinct screaming at him not to.

When Seijou receives a missive from Aobajousai to discuss a potential peace, its emperor Oikawa Tooru could not have foreseen the series of events that would follow.

"Iwa-chan!" Oikawa cried, rising from the steaming pool, water trickling down well-defined abdominal muscles as he extended an arm towards Iwaizumi. "I've come to be your new ice skating coach! Don't you feel lucky?"

Alternatively, 'Hajime!!! on ICE', a figure-skating story.

♡ this is an emergency!- enisle

“Blue-chan, what do these wires and us have in common?”

God, what have I done to deserve this.

“A connection!”

“Leave.”

What do you do when the crewmate you find suspicious offers to bodyguard you?

★♡ Take Me To Church- dboys

The thing about having a crush on someone right when you meet, is that you want to start the relationship right away. It’s straight to flirting, rather than “hi what do you like?” it’s “hi, what can we do together?” Craving their attention like no other, wanting you to be their only focus.

In which Oikawa is kept away from society by his conservative catholic parents and Iwaizumi comes to his rescue.

♡ i want you, i hope you’ll come to me- orphan_account

oikawa tooru has never received a love letter, but he's written five of them

♡ from your mortal enemy (with love)- duskglow

He takes a step closer to Iwaizumi and says, “You’re going to have to pry this gym away from my cold, dead hands if you really want it, Iwa-chan.”

Iwaizumi leans in and grins without any humor. “Bring it on, Pretty Boy.”

Or, five-ish times that Oikawa Tooru has the grave misfortune of encountering the very annoying hot asshole of a baseball captain.

♡ I sure hope that the sun got rhythm ('cause he gonna dance when that music hit'm)- rekamohcs

He takes a step closer to Iwaizumi and says, “You’re going to have to pry this gym away from my cold, dead hands if you really want it, Iwa-chan.”

Iwaizumi leans in and grins without any humor. “Bring it on, Pretty Boy.”

Or, five-ish times that Oikawa Tooru has the grave misfortune of encountering the very annoying hot asshole of a baseball captain.

Side Effects of Falling (In Love and Skateboarding)- Starship_Phoenix

Skateboarding is all about taking leaps of faith. It's about falling and getting back up, even when it hurts. Love is the same way.

Or: Hajime's becoming an expert at falling.

[an iwaoi skateboarder au]

♡ Hold My Heart In Your Hands- oiivkawa

“Just because you’re on the opposite side of the country doesn’t mean that I’m leaving you,” he re-iterated.

Oikawa felt the warmth of Iwaizumi’s breath fan out across his cheeks when he spoke. Maybe it was the words, or maybe it was just Iwaizumi himself, but he relaxed slightly, tension dissipating from his shoulders. He slid his hands down the length of Iwaizumi's torso, gripping his waist tightly on either side instead.

“But I’m the one leaving you, not the other way around, remember?” Oikawa smiled, biting his bottom lip cheekily.

“You’re such a shit,” Iwaizumi said, but the harshness of his words was masked by the smile on his face. “I bet you won’t even miss me with all that attention you’ll get from the new girls at your school,” he added.

“That’s not true,” Oikawa shook his head in denial. “You know the only person I care about is Iwa-chan.”

Iwaizumi watched him silently for a few moments before he slid his hands around Oikawa's head, interlocking his fingers behind Oikawa's neck. “Don’t say things you don’t mean,” he said quietly, pulling their faces closer together until it wasn’t only their foreheads touching, but their noses too.

♡ beautiful stranger-DailyMelody

Just as Oikawa's fingers hover over his contact list, intending to select Hanamaki’s name, one of the servers walks away; revealing a dark-haired man in his late twenties who seems to be the only other person dining by themselves tonight. He’s not sure why, but something akin to pity settles in his chest and he finds himself wondering if the man had been stood up by his date.

It might seem silly, but he feels a kinship with the stranger.

In a large space filled with couples celebrating their love, they are two lost souls hidden among the masses.

Perhaps it’s the alcohol or the cozy setting of the restaurant, or the spirit of Christmas, but Oikawa rises from his chair to approach the man. After all, nobody should be dining alone after they’ve been stood up by someone.

(or: oikawa thinks iwaizumi got stood up by his date and promptly joins him for dinner).

★♡ Conquering the Great King- SuggestiveScribe

Rated E | 105k | 17/17

Iwaizumi blinked his gaze over to Oikawa, "Last time was supposed to be a one time thing," he said, voice low, lacking some conviction.

Oikawa's lips twitched into a smirk and he brought them hovering just over Iwaizumi's, "One time thing, Two time thing, what's it matter as long as it's not a Relationship thing?"

★♡ Tokyo Boy- Verbrennung

Friends with Benefits | Rated E | 17k | 2/2

“Oh no, Tooru-” but thankfully Makki doesn’t say anything other than that. They reach for their drinks in sync, and Tooru tips his glass to his oncoming emotional apocalypse in one last sardonic acknowledgement of his terrible life before they both take a long pull of their drinks because oh yes, he’s fucked. He has feelings for Iwaizumi Hajime, who probably has casual lovers just like him in every major city he visits on business. Oikawa is just his Tokyo Boy, just another pit-stop on Iwaizumi’s travels. A story about longing, and how not even 5,487 miles, a sixteen-hour time difference, or a 'casual' label can stop a stubborn heart (or two?) from falling in love.

Savage Love- iwadimples

Tooru was just supposed to be a one night. He was just supposed to be like every other pretty boy Hajime slept with on a routine basis. And yet, Hajime gets swept away in the typhoon that is Oikawa Tooru, anyway. Falls so thoroughly in love that even if he knows this is all just a means to and end for the other, Hajime still hopes that at the end of the day, Tooru will stay.

♡ You Showed Up With Perfect Timing- noelre

Modern Setting | Love at First Sight | Rated M | 8k | 1/1

It’s a gift card to gym. One month with a personal trainer.

He’ll give it a go. It’s only a month. He’ll probably suck at it because he doesn’t have appropriate clothes or shoes, but what’s the worst that can happen? The worst that can and will happen, Tooru discovers after a good night’s sleep, is to have the hunkiest man as his personal trainer.

get ripped, get laid- orphan_account

Modern Setting | Gym | Rated G | 14k | 1/1

“I’m not buying you a drink if you do an exercise properly.”

Oikawa frowns, and Iwaizumi is once again reminded of a chastised puppy.

“Why not? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do, incentivise me?”

“Having the body of your dreams isn’t incentive enough?”

“Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tuts as he shoots Iwaizumi a look that seems to suggest he thinks he is very simple, “I already have the body of my dreams. And maybe even your dreams.”

iwaizumi should've known accepting oikawa as his newest client would only end in one giant headache

♡ no room for pretend- Anonymous

Modern Setting | Fake/Pretend Relationship | Rated T | 13k | 1/1

“Iwa-chan,” Oikawa says again, quieter. When Iwaizumi turns his head back around, Oikawa isn’t even looking at him anymore, fixated on the frayed threads of their cushion. He looks up after a moment and smiles faintly. “Please be my fake boyfriend.”

★♡ Phone Home- ghostystarr

Oikawa Tooru is currently orbiting Earth at 445 kilometers per minute, but falling in love with the voice in his ear makes it feel so much slower than that. AU Iwaoi.

★♡ and suddenly, we were strangers- izayas

"sorry, it's just... you’ve been amazingly kind to me these past few days. ...but i'm still not sure who you are.”

oikawa tooru's handed a beige invitation, gold lettering decorating the edges and words that make his heart drop as his gaze lift. he's sitting in a hospital bed and with his mind hazy, he's only sure of three things: his name, his visitor is attractive, and this can't be happening.

"i'm iwaizumi." the visitor looks away. " ...your fiancé."

♡ between a stranger and a lover- project_ecto

When Iwaizumi loses his memories in an accident, there is a boy who calls him “Iwa-chan” by his bedside more often than not, who takes care of him with the diligence of a keeper, and is the most stricken of all. He figures it must mean something, he figures they must be lovers.

Oikawa, greedy and pining, deals with it by pretending they are.

Fix me- Frenchibi

Memory Loss | Angst with a Happy Ending | Rated T | 20k | 7/7

“Who… who are you?” Silence fills the room as all faces turn towards Oikawa - and then everyone is talking at once.

or: The one where Oikawa loses his memory and it breaks Iwaizumi's heart

★♡ Food for the Heart- SharkbaitSekki

Enter Oikawa Tooru, the middle-class citizen who has everything he needs, but who does not eat. Enter Iwaizumi Hajime, the homeless young man who barely scrapes enough to eat every single day.

One chance encounter is all they need to start turning things around. That is, if they actually do want to bring change to their comfortable, destructive routines.

midnight boy/sunset town- carafin

In which Iwaizumi Hajime grows a few chili plants, participates in an eating contest, breaks into a park, and falls in love with a man who doesn't ever sleep - not exactly in that order.

5 Reasons Why Iwaizumi Hajime's Flatmate Is A Complete Weirdo (An Incomplete List) 1. He's obsessed with that stupid bucket list of his. 2. He's the proud owner of seven truly ugly, criminally hideous movie posters with aliens on them, which he insists on pasting all over the damn living room. 3. He's always stealing Hajime's sweatshirts. 4. Sometimes, he wakes Hajime up for breakfast. At 5AM. On Saturday mornings. 5. He literally never, ever sleeps.

Pining | Rated T | 15k | 1/1

Iwaizumi's first impression of his upstairs neighbor involves getting woken up at two in the morning to the sound of Oikawa singing along to trashy pop music. He'd thought it would get better, but it all just goes downhill from there.

Iwaizumi lives down the hall from Tooru and he can't stop crushing on him.

★♡ balustrade- nacos

iwaizumi and oikawa are neighbors with incredibly close balconies

"But it's our thing." "What thing?" "Our thing, Iwa-chan!"

♡ Something in Our Pockets ( Maybe Paper Planes)- glass_owl

Rated T | 28k | 1/1

"Wow," Matsukawa grins. He drapes his coat over the back of the chair, cracking a few knuckles before booting up the computer. He wiggles his fingers in Iwaizumi's face. "Boyfriend privileges already?"

"How offending," Hanamaki supplies. He wags a finger in Iwaizumi's face.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Iwaizumi picks up his coffee, nursing it between his hands, solemnly wondering what had just happened to his quiet, peaceful morning.

"Well two can play at that game," Hanamaki says with arid confidence. He smirks knowingly at Iwaizumi and Iwaizumi knows something terrible is going to fall from his friend's stupid mouth. "From now on, only your boyfriend can call me 'Makki'."

- Or that poor journalist Iwa and air steward Oikawa AU.

Meeting in the E.R/A&E | Rated T | 6k | 2/2

Hajime gets up to pick up his papers and finds someone already there, picking it up and offering it to him politely. Hajime gapes. Said someone is slightly taller than him with soft curly brown hair and brown eyes as bright as his smile which is kind of brighter than the lights at the moment. He’s leaning on a cane and there’s a white knee supporter wrapped around his left knee. “Yours?” he offers and Hajime finds the strength to take his papers back and smile shakily.

♡ Oikawa’s Seat- heartinatrophy

Different First Meeting | Fluff | Rated T | 3k | 1/1

Iwaizumi Hajime was having a terrible day. All he wanted to do was go home and try and forget about the misery that was his life, but his little bubble of angst is burst wide open when a stranger decides to sit on his lap on the train home. A very attractive stranger.

fall line: the path of least resistance; the line of gravity down a slope

Oikawa Tooru, overworked accountant with no time on his hands for a holiday unless he’s being dragged to Hokkaido by his co-worker and friend, meets snowboard instructor Iwaizumi Hajime and everything goes downhill from there.

Literally.

How Icarus fell in Love with the Sun- becauseitisbitter

Oikawa has to find a fiance within a week or he has to leave Japan and thus his successful career and his friends. Obviously the best idea is to knock on his new neighbor's door at 11 pm and ask, "Will you marry me?"

Kind of a The Proposal AU. (Plot different)

-sakuatsu-

Marble and Sandstone by red_camellia

rating: G words: 12,937 chapters: 2/2

author summary: Miya Atsumu only cares about volleyball and nothing else. That is, until he develops a strange obsession with the marble statue of a young man that seems vaguely familiar in his university's arts department. One day that statue comes alive as the very real Sakusa Kiyoomi, and they are left with the mystery of why Sakusa Kiyoomi was turned into a statue and only came back to life when Atsumu touched him. Their new-found connection and the strange mystery turns Atsumu's life upside down, not least because of his growing feelings for Sakusa.

my notes: this was a rlly cute fic!!! 11/10 would read again!!

let it go (paint my body gold) by lunarism

rating: T words: 3,272 chapters: 1/1

author summary: It becomes a routine for them. Sometimes they go grocery shopping and make dinner together, other times they end up talking until Sakusa feels like his own shower and bed is calling him. Every single time Sakusa gets home, shrugs his coat off, balls it up, and proceeds to scream profusely into the fabric for a few minutes.

my notes: pining!!! sakusa!!! also casual painter!atsumu!!! and they paint together!!!

craft a miracle with these hands, lips, (silence) by chrysanthe (sonderesque)

rating: T words: 4,252 chapters: 1/1

author summary: ‘Someone is here to ruin your night,’ his door tells him. ‘You should let them in.’ “I’M HOMELESS OMI-OMI. HOMELESS,” yells the one here to ruin his night. “LET ME IN.”

(What does Kiyoomi sell his sanctuary for?)

my notes: hnnn rlly fuckin cute,, and domestic,,,,

Clipped To You by littleboat

rating: T words: 8,174 chapters: 1/1

author summary: It starts with Hinata Natsu, of all people.

Well, if Atsumu’s being honest with himself, it started way before that, but he’s not, so that’s besides the point. And thankfully, he’s just petty enough to blame all of his problems on a thirteen year old girl.

or Sakusa starts wearing hair clips and Atsumu is more than a little obsessed

my notes: minor kagehina, bokuaka // god these fics rlly make me simp for fictional characters even more than i should. but!! sakusa!!! in hairclips!!! and a pining atsumu!!!

learn how to lay me down in something other than danger, other than fury by rosevtea

words: 34,211 chapters: 1/1

author summary: All of the ways fellow college TA Miya Atsumu reinvents Kiyoomi's definition of normal.

my notes: god i loved this. it’s a fake dating au and like,, even though they’re “dating” sakusa keeps letting his guard down little by little around atsumu and it surprises everyone. komori and akaashi just know that they’re were genuinely pining for eachother

among probabilities and a thousand fates by aalphard

rating: T words: 15,675 chapters: 1/1

author summary: prompt fill for “in a world where the red string of fate exists, person a’s finger always twitches when person b, who can see the string, tugs on their string” | or sakusa thought he had a tic and atsumu liked to see his confused expression when it started to happen exclusively when he was around.

my notes: i! loved! it!! so basically atsumu and osamu have the rare gift of seeing the red string of fate, so they know its real but sakusa, like most other people dont believe it exists. so atsumu gives sakusa a (kinda) hard time. rlly cute!! i love soulmate aus!

-bokuaka-

love in the time of wifi by dalyeau

rating: G words: 4,177 chapters: 1/1

author summary: Akaashi is coming to terms with the fact that he might be romantically interested in his volleyball captain. Hence, doing what any sixteen year old with a problem should do. He asks about it online.

my notes: really cute fic about akaashi asking what he should do about his crush on a site similar to reddit. its kinda a “i didnt know it was you” kind of fic and it made me happy

steam by orphan_account

rating: E words: 8,474 chapters: 1/1

author summary:

bokuto: why is he so hot bokuto: why am i so gay kuroo: LMAO you mean your vice captain right bokuto: yeah

The coach blew the whistle for practice to begin, and Bokuto drummed his fingers against the bleachers, awaiting Kuroo’s reply. He was about to walk away, when his phone buzzed in his hand.kuroo: i got this bro bokuto: what bokuto: wtf does that mean

Bokuto started to panic.

my notes: explicit!!! but really wholesome. kuroo is honestly the best wingman. i also think this is my favourite bokuaka smutfic??

just to miss the sun by rosevtea

rating: T words: 15,126 chapters:1/1

author summary: Everything begins to implode when MSBY Jackals outside hitter Bokuto Koutarou crashes Akaashi's livestream.

my notes: i love text fics and i love wrong number aus so u can tell how much i loved this. really fluffy and i come back to it time to time

-kuroken-

us three by honey_s

rating: T words: 5,137 chapters: 1/1

author summary: Kuroo’s gaze flits over to the utensil. His eyes bulge out of his skull. “Wh—is that a meat hammer? Put it back!” Akaashi’s head recoils back in confusion. “I don’t understand the problem here.” “Why on Earth have you got a fucking meat hammer? We aren’t going to kill somebody!” “Well,” Akaashi begins, clearly taken aback, “I apologise for assuming. I had heard Kenma-san had been hurt in school and after getting a message from both of you to meet late at night, I merely filled in the blanks and assumed we were going to beat someone up, for lack of a better term.” “Not literally! I meant metaphorically, or figuratively, or something!” “Idiomically?” “That isn’t a word, Bokuto-san.” “Jesus Christ,” Kuroo groans, dropping his head into his hands. “We're going to jail."

my notes: bokuaka and kuroo are ready to beat someone up for kenma!! and we stan!!

Cherry Pits and Cat Tattoos by strawberryriver

rating: G words: 6,141 chapters: 1/1

author summary:

Kuroo has been in communication with his soulmate ever since they were kids. They've known each other for so long that he never really worried about when or how he would meet them. At least, not until he meets the roommate of Bokuto's soulmate.Soulmate AU in which things written on your skin show up on your soulmate. Companion piece/same AU as Serendipty

--------------------

Kuroo Tetsurou liked to write on his arms. Despite his mother's half-serious warnings about “ink poisoning” or staining his skin, he insisted on marking his arms and legs wherever he could. Not like his best-friend-since-always Bokuto Koutaro, who had to write on his arms or he’d forget to breathe, but artfully. He’d draw designs, animals, the occasional chemical compound. The whole idea behind soulmates fascinated him: how one person could mark their arm and someone potentially thousands of miles away, would have that same mark appear. The amount of articles, studies, and books he’d read about the topic, even at a young age, could put an undergrad researcher to shame.

my notes: again with the soulmate au bc i cannot help myself. but really cute!!! probably gonna read this again later!

Boom, Toasted by protostar (hearthope)

rated: T words: 6,782 chapters: 1/1

author summary:

FROM: yuuji any bets on who hes texting??

FROM: eita He's smiling at his phone. Kuroo, probably

FROM: kentarou Kuroo

TO: fake family Have any of you ever once considered not prying

FROM: eita You deserve it

FROM: yuuji how can we not when ur in love!!

Kenma gets a text from an unknown number. He'd be lying if he said the guy behind it wasn't kind of endearing.

my notes: again, i love wrong number texts. it focuses more on kenma’s friendship, but kenma’s pov with texting kuroo is more than him realizing feelings and stuff. really cute, ive read it multiple times.

Japan's most subscribed by NeverNothing

rating: T words: 3,631 chapters: 1/1

author summary: Kuroo Tetsurou @blacktetsurou changed his bio : volleyball player, co-owner of Bouncing Ball Corp. and so much more ;)

my notes: i! love! social media! fics!!! really cute and basically people wondering who the mysterious kuroo is to applepi.

MATSUHANA!!! the underrated gem

texting (with a capital S) by parenthetic

rating: M words: 2,119 chapters: 1/1

author summary: Hanamaki breaks his No Texting In Class rule, and it's all downhill from there.

my notes: honestly more funny than it suggests, but its matsuhana, they’re meme lords.

rated m for by orphan_account

rated: T words: 10,692 chapters: 1/1

author summary: He should have known that there was a Specific Reason™ why it was so absolutely vital that he and Matsukawa specifically meet for a reading of the script. He should have known that there had to be some evil catch beyond sitting in a tiny, cramped studio with his newly sworn enemy.

Hanamaki stares at the title of the script he’d so gracefully neglected the night before.

FORBIDDEN PARADISE

“Excuse me,” Hanamaki starts, raising a pen in the air while staring blankly at the packet in his free hand. “Just to clarify, you want me to record a boy's love CD with Matsukawa?”

my notes: a very good voice actor au. there is some misunderstanding on hanamaki’s part bc he didnt finish listening to matsukawa, and this is really cute and i love matsuhana.

In A Quiet Night, All Sounds Carry by levyovochka

rating: E words: 4,794 chapters: 1/1

authors summary: “Ah, ah, Too—!”

Hanamaki hates his university dorm.

“—ru, let me cum, please!”

Hold up. That’s a fucking understatement. Let him rephrase it: Hanamaki loathes his university dorm with passion. Detest the damned abomination, abhors it—

“—ru! Coming, coming—”

It has only been a month and Hanamaki already wants to die.

my notes: as u can guess minor iwaoi // rlly well written and bottom hanamaki rights and maybe my favourite matsuhana smutfic??? and hooh boy i simp for matsukawa

call me maybe by totooru

rating: T words: 33,689 chapters: 14/14

author summary: Hanamaki texts the wrong number when trying to extort tips out of Oikawa in order to defeat Iwaizumi in arm wrestling, and then continues to text the witty stranger who had answered.

my notes: minor iwaoi, daisuga, bokuaka // god i think this is my favourite matsuhana fic overall, maybe in general, but my god is it great. this is probably a common rec, but its understandable as to why it is. basically au where makki texts matsun (who goes to karasuno) instead of oikawa for tips to beat iwaizumi at an arm wrestling match. but they keep messaging. and holy shit i love their conversations. please read this, it is 256/10

there we go!! i might go a part two with more ships (kagehina, tsukkiyama and iwaoi) but this took up way to much time lol. i have an essay due in a couple hours. but hope u like these fics as much as i do!!

hi! thanks for asking

okay anon, here’s the thing, i can’t choose so i made this list with my fave fics lmao IM SORRY but also im not. In no particular order and multi fandom af:

The truth about love by shushu_yaoi_lj (@llamapyjamas)

[carry on/snowbaz/rated e/44k/canonverse/smut - fluff - angst]

Snow is about to go off, his magic is leaking out of him and I start to wonder if this was a mistake. I just wanted to tease him; I didn’t think he was going to get so mad over this. What the hell happened with Wellbelove?

“Snow, calm down or you’re going to go off.”

“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” he shouts, “I want to know if you’re in love with her.”

Simon goes off and accidentally binds them together - 8th year Watford canon divergence.

Jealous by angelsfalling16 (@angelsfalling16)

[carry on/snowbaz/rated t/4k/canonverse/fluff - angst]

After catching Simon making out with someone underneath the football stands, Baz plots a way to break them up while Simon comes to terms with his feelings for someone different.

Is that a gun in your pocket? by SHARKMARTINI (@sharkmartini)

[carry on/snowbaz/rated t/4k/mafia au/fluff]

Business is never personal for Baz. Unfortunately for him, Simon Snow falls somewhere in between the two.

Is this real? by wematch (@wematch)

[carry on/snowbaz/rated t/3k/fake dating/fluff]

Simon gets the surprise of his life when his roommate, Baz, asks him to pretend to be his boyfriend. Everything is going according to plan until the line of what’s real and what isn’t starts to blur, and they both have to make a decision.

Summertime by Sharing_a_room_with_an_open_fire (@sharing-a-room-with-an-open-fire)

[carry on/snowbaz/rated e/168k - wip/canonverse/humor - smut]

Baz’s hand is moving under his pants and I keep panting for some reason. (Probably in anticipation of finally uncovering all his plots.)

Why hasn’t he taken off his pants? Wouldn’t it have been easier for him, more to see? I mean fewer movements, less restrictions for him because I definitely don’t want to see more. What I’m trying to say is that it makes sense to take the pants off while wanking. It’s just common sense. It’s for his benefit, not mine. I don’t even want to watch. Oh, Merlin, Baz is arching his back, his stomach is flexing and I can’t look away. He’s so fucking fit and apparently very sensual too. Unfortunately, I can’t see his face clearly from over here.

Starts summer before Watford 8th year. One month into the summer break, Simon decides it's time to uncover all of Baz’s plots. Luckily for Simon, there is a nice tall tree outside of Baz's bedroom window in Hampshire. What is Baz doing during his summer break exactly?

Fuck the Wavering Wood by aralias (@captain-aralias)

The Humdrum never sends the same thing twice. This time, he sends sex pollen.

Footprints by the Lethe by lily_winterwood (@omgkatsudonplease)

[yuri on ice/viktuuri/rated t/6k/canonverse/angst]

Yuuri’s video of him skating ‘Stay Close to Me’ goes viral, and in that moment Viktor’s life flashes before him. The story is simple: he goes to Japan, he becomes Yuuri’s coach, he wins Yuuri’s respect and love. Then blah, blah, something something gold medal in the GPF, a wedding, and happily ever after. It’s perfect.

Until it isn’t.

Kiss Me Through the Phone by phichithamsters

[yuri on ice/seungchuchu/rated e/2k/canonverse/smut]

“But Seung Gil,” Phichit says, his voice a teasing lilt, “You’re always so expressive for me.”

It takes him a moment, but once Seung Gil realizes what Phichit is insinuating, his eyes go wide and he scrambles for his phone, turning off speakerphone as quickly as he can.

“Phichit, I’m in the locker room—“

“Then again,” Phichit continues, ignoring him, “I don’t want anyone else to see the faces you make when we’re alone.”

Seung Gil has come to expect Phichit's nightly calls, but this time, Phichit wants something different.

Fantasy by heyitshex

[yuri on ice/seungchuchu/rated e/3k/canonverse/smut]

All the other skaters have something Seung-gil lacks (or maybe it’s the other way around). It probably doesn’t give them an edge, but after a crappy night, what does Seung-gil have to lose by, well, losing it?

Lost in Translation by rageprufrock

[haikyuu/iwaoi/rated t/9k/canonverse/angst - fluff - humor]

Because misfortune come in threes, Iwaizumi Hajime starts his Thursday having a screaming fight with Shittykawa, spends his lunch break listening to the UCI women's volleyball team gossiping about how Ushijima Wakatoshi had gone public about his longtime love affair with Oikawa Tooru, and closes out the day by drunkenly dropping his phone into a sewer grate.

Yup... That’s him. You’re probably wondering how a straight man like Atsumu ended up in this situation...

[haikyuu/kagehina/rated e/16k/canonverse/smut - angst]

"With milliseconds to react, Tobio leaped in front of the spiked ball, his form and his mind completely thrown off by being on the receiving end of his and Hinata’s quick for the first time.

Tobio had never been in a relationship—not for lack of offers, there had just been no room in his life for a significant other considering how much of it revolved around volleyball—but Tobio was certain this was what being cheated on felt like."

Or, Tobio is a little jealous of Hinata and Atsumu's relationship, leading to a revelation of his feelings for the spiker.

wish you were sober by prologhe

[banana fish/shoreiji/rated t/7k/angst]

“You look beautiful,” it came after a moment of silence. Eiji chuckled again, still not looking at Shorter.

He knew, deep down, he had dressed up and tried to look pretty just a bit, just enough for things to be different, for Shorter to maybe spare him a glance before alcohol made him do it. But Eiji wouldn’t admit it in a million years, and it hadn’t worked anyways — Shorter was drunk and staring at him with those vulnerable eyes that Eiji knew were reserved just to him, so instead, he rolled his eyes and said, “Is this you or the alcohol speaking?”

Eiji wished Shorter was sober.

a rush of blood under lilac skies

FOR THE HQWN SUMMER FIC EXCHANGE!!!! THIS IS FOR @mlkytobio DEAR CHLOE I HOPE YOU LIKE IT <333

pairing: iwaoi words: 6,046 au: confessional college au

summary: hajime was walking his usual weekly round when he heard a kid crying somewhere in the park. the kid was lost and told him he'd come with his 'stupid uncle'. after a couple of tries of calming the kid down, he sat down next to the kid, introducing himself first in hopes he'd tell him his name. finally, he softly replied to hajime with a “takeru.” hajime made it his mission to get the boy back to his uncle, not knowing the uncle was going to be around his age and going to the same college as he was.

note: a hUGE THANKS to @vventure for beta-ing this beast <333 note2: sorry for the long summary flksdjl i had to note3: the boys are in their 20s and takeru is aged down!

| ao3 | mlist |

Walking past the little park around his neighborhood, Hajime suddenly heard it. It was a little kid crying. By the sound of his cries for help he estimated the kid to not be over six years old.

He wondered if the parents or guardians were around, when the cries started becoming louder and louder. The kid seemed to be yelling out a name, but the sobbing was drowning the sound out. Hajime looked around. Where was the crying coming from?

Then he suddenly noticed the small boy sitting to the side of the steps to the slide, with no one around him to take care of him.

His heart panged. The weakness he had for little kids started rising up. Hajime clicked his tongue: time to save a kid.

Hajime carefully approached the little boy. “Hey kid,” he started, trying not to startle the kid too much — however, that’s exactly what his sudden approach ignited.

As a reaction, the boy cried even louder and Hajime clenched his eyebrows together, in agony for the kid’s pain and tears. He shushed the kid softly, trying to approach him a little closer. “Hey kid,” he tried again, his voice a little gentler this time. “I’m not here to hurt you. I just want to help!” He stepped a little closer. “Could you tell me what’s wrong?”

From up close, he really didn’t seem a day over six — maybe even five. Hajime really felt for the boy. His tough facade faded around little kids.

“My name is Hajime,” he tried this time, sitting down on the grass instead of crouching on his knees.

The boy sniffed loudly this time, his small face scrunched together from the tears and his tiny fists clenched together. He waited for the kid to answer him this time around.

After a solid minute or two of Hajime just silently sitting next to the boy, who was still collecting his sniffs and blows and really trying his hardest to stop his crocodile tears from running over his cheeks, he softly replied to Hajime with a “Takeru.”

“Ohh,” Hajime said, nodding. “Takeru, huh. What a cool name.” He waited for Takeru to look at him. “Say, Takeru, how old are you?”

Slowly but surely the kid held up five fingers, which were wet with tears and snot. Hajime had to try his hardest not to laugh at the cute face Takeru was pulling. He produced a handkerchief from his backpack, and held it up in front of Takeru. “Can I clean your hands and face with this?”

It took Takeru another minute before finally completely trusting Hajime and placing his small hands into the handkerchief that Hajime had laid open on his own hands.

“Great job!” he complimented the boy. “Thank you.”

Takeru stared Hajime in his eyes while the latter was cleaning his hands. It didn’t seem like he was going to talk any time soon, though, Hajime thought. He was worried about how he was going to find Takeru’s parents…

Hajime cleaned his face next, and nearly laughed at the cute faces Takeru made. The cute pout made him think of his own parents when they told him he had to pout in order to have his face get completely cleaned as a little kid.

“You’re doing so well,” Hajime complimented him again, finishing up on his face. “Are you feeling a little better?” he asked, putting away the handkerchief.

Takeru nodded.

“Good boy,” he said again, patting his head. “Can you tell me why you were sad?”

Takeru inched in on Hajime a little, coming to pull on his sleeve softly.

“Lost,” his small voice whimpered out.

“You’re lost, huh,” Hajime repeated. “How unfortunate. Who did you come with?”

“My uncle,” he softly said, still clinging on to Hajime’s sleeve. His uncle? Why did he come with his uncle and why on Earth did his uncle leave his nephew alone? Hajime cursed at the irresponsible uncle.

“How stupid of your uncle,” he voiced his thoughts to Takeru, who, to his surprise, started laughing a little. Haha, even Hajime started to laugh; it was contagious. “Should we go look for you uncle?”

“He can rot,” came the very sudden reply. Hajime was taken aback.

“Rot?” he repeated. “How come?”

“He’s so stupid!”

Suddenly, Takeru was becoming very vocal, he started cursing his uncle even more and Hajime couldn’t hold it. He also couldn’t deny the level of funny that was behind this. A five year old kid ranting about his probably way older uncle like he was a piece of shit. He grinned at him and decided that Takeru was an amusing kid he could very much vibe with.

“You’re funny, Takeru. I like you.”

Takeru stopped to look at Hajime, furrowing his brows. “You’re weird too, uncle,” he said, straight through Hajime’s heart.

Uncle… He guessed he really looked like an old uncle to Takeru from his point of view.

“C’mon,” Hajime said, standing up and offering his hand to Takeru. “Let’s go look for your dummy uncle, then.”

Luckily, Takeru complied this time and gladly took his hand. He sighed, nearly making Hajime laugh again. How could a five year old be this hilarious? “I want to see my mom, though. But I guess uncle is fine now too.”

“Do you remember where you lost him?” Hajime tried asking this time.

Takeru seemed to start thinking, long and hard. “Hmmmmm,” he dragged, bringing his little finger to his lip. After a minute of thinking, Takeru said: “Not here.”

Hajime laughed, his shoulders shaking softly. “Oh, no!” he dramatically replied. “Now what?”

“I don’t really remember,” Takeru sheepishly confessed, scratching the arm that was holding Hajime’s hand.

“That’s too bad,” Hajime said. “Then there’s nothing to it but walk endlessly around, maybe even all the way to Kyoto.

“NO!” Takeru yelled out. “Not that far, uncle!!”

Hajime laughed. “Don’t worry, we won’t.” Only then it dawned on him how willingly Takeru was in taking his hand. For all Takeru knew, Hajime could have meant him harm. Shivers ran down his spine and he was glad to have found the boy.

They walked for another five minutes before Hajime heard a familiar name being called out.

“..ru-chan! Takeru-chan! Where are you?!”

Takeru seemed to recognize the voice, as his face perked up, his mouth pulling up in the biggest smile Hajime had ever seen.

“Tooru-nii!!!” he cried out, wringing his little fingers away from Hajime’s hands and running away from him.

Hajime was confused for a second. He couldn’t really make out the name that was called out, but the suffix ‘nii’ kind of threw him off. Then, he finally realized Takeru had run off without him, and started hurrying after him.

“Takeru, wait!” he called for him. What if it wasn’t his uncle at all, and instead of his uncle… it was a criminal?!

Hajime shook his head. No need for him to start panicking now. He just needed to catch up to Takeru and make sure the person he was calling for really was his uncle. He quickly saw the small boy, standing in front of his… uncle?

Oh.

So that’s why he looked like an uncle to Takeru.

Before Hajime could say anything, the… very young… uncle started speaking up.

“Takeru! Didn’t your mom teach you not to walk along with strangers?!” Apparently, the uncle had the same idea as he did.

While Takeru was busy coming up with excuses (and insults), Hajime stepped forward.

“Uh, hi? I—”

“Can I help you?” the uncle asked him, crossing his arms.

“Uncle!” Takeru yelled out before Hajime could say something in return. He walked over to Hajime and embraced his tiny arms around Hajime’s legs. “Thank you, uncle,” he suddenly said with a small voice Hajime hadn’t heard before.

He crouched down, reaching Takeru’s height, and patted his head. “No problem, kiddo,” he returned with a big smile. “Anything to help.”

“Did you help Takeru?” said the uncle, getting them out of their moment.

Again, before Hajime could speak, Takeru took the lead. “He did! This uncle was super nice to me — unlike some other uncle I know!”

Hajime had to try his hardest not to completely burst out in laughter at the shocked uncle’s face. “Hey, now, not so harsh on your uncle. He was probably worried sick about you.”

Takeru made a very cute, must he say, humph-sound. “Don’t care.”

Hajime laughed and stood up again. He held out his hand to the uncle, “Iwaizumi Hajime, by the way. I heard Takeru crying and just wanted to make sure he got back safely.”

The uncle hesitantly took his hand. “Oikawa Tooru.” Seeing him from up close Hajime estimated him to be around the same age as himself. Probably an older sister or brother with a kid this young.

“So, if Takeru is back and safe again I can happily take my leave,” Hajime said, feeling kind of in an awkward situation.

The uncle — Oikawa, apparently — wasn’t saying anything else and Takeru was hugging his legs again.

“Takeru,” Hajime said, starting to peel Takeru’s small hands off his body, “this uncle has to take his leave again…”

“NO!” Takeru exclaimed, slamming his little body around Hajime again, this time as tight as he could. “Stay!!!”

“I can’t do that, Takeru.” Hajime was feeling immensely awkward at this point. The uncle didn’t seem to take any action and it was getting on Hajime’s nerves.

And then he finally spoke. “Hey… is that a Tokyo University hoodie?”

Hajime glanced down. “Uh, yeah?”

“I go there too!”

He looked around from the corners of his eyes. The way the uncle had said that was so awkward that Hajime nearly felt he entered a prank show.

“O…kay?” Who didn’t around this neighborhood, he wanted to say, but he bit his tongue on it instead.

“What do you study?” the uncle said, sounding super interested all of a sudden.

“Uh, sports health.” Hajime hated the fact that he couldn’t stop sounding like the awkward was dripping off his voice — but apparently Oikawa couldn’t either.

“That’s so cool.”

The silence was cutting like a knife and Hajime wondered why he hadn’t told him about his own studies.

“What about you?”

Oikawa looked like he was taken by surprise. Flustered, he told Hajime he studied health sciences.

“Cool,” he replied, “so we’re actually on the same campus?” He could mentally slap himself. Why did he run his stupid mouth?

“Ye— yeah,” Oikawa said, sounding flustered still. His hands didn’t know where they needed to be situated; they were kind of flailing around his torso, up to his head, and back to his torso. “A— anyways, I got to, uh, get Takeru back to my sister.”

Hajime was confused by his actions, but didn’t question the stranger.

“C’mon, Takeru,” he said, the softness of his voice surprising Hajime. “Let’s go back to mommy, okay?”

The word ‘mommy’ really did miracles, as Takeru let go of Haijme’s legs immediately.

“Cool,” Oikawa said out of nowhere. It sounded flat. Hajime stared at him, it looked like he was about to say something else, but it also looked like he had chosen against saying it.

“Yup,” was all Hajime said in return.

“Guess I’ll see you around,” Oikawa said.

Around? Oh, right. At uni. “I guess,” Hajime said, unsure whether or not he even wanted to see him again.

Takeru started waving excitedly. “Uncle!!! Let’s meet again soon, okay!”

Hajime’s face cracked open into a wide smile. “Sure thing, Takeru.” How could he say no to that boy?

Oikawa softly smiled at him when they took off, quickly moving his hand up in an attempted wave. Hajime did the same.

“Well, that was awkward,” he breathed out when the two of them were finally out of his sight.

Hajime didn’t run into Oikawa Tooru at university.

One part of him was glad that they didn’t meet again, but another part of him was… not sad or disappointed but more curious to what else that young uncle had to offer.

(Another part of him just wanted to joke around with Takeru again, but that would sound weird if he voiced that thought to others.

But two weeks had passed and Hajime was nearly forgetting about the event (and also giving up hope).

He was walking around campus after class with his friends when he thought back to meeting Takeru. He tried his hardest not to burst into laughter thinking about Takeru’s slander towards his uncle, when he suddenly got yanked to the side by one of his friends. That didn’t stop him from still running into the person his friends were apparently trying to avoid running into.

“Ow,” Hajime said on reflex, and rubbed his arm. He turned to his friends. “What the fuck?”

“Iwaizumi? Iwaizumi Hajime?”

Hajime looked up, confused. Who even called him by his full name except for the professors?

Oh. He did.

“Oikawa?”

“Wow, funny running into you?” It came out as a question, and even Oikawa seemed surprised by that as well.

Hajime turned to his friends. “You guys can go ahead! Don’t worry about me, I’ll make sure to show up in class on time.”

“Sure thing,” one of them said, and they walked away.

“Uh,” Hajime tried recollecting their conversation starter, “yeah, funny running into you.”

Before he knew it, Oikawa was guiding him to a bench, and sat down first. He was confused by the actions, but he wasn’t completely bothered by it.

“How have you been?” he asked, his voice soft, his knees together with his hands tucked underneath his thighs — which were pretty muscular, Hajime noticed. The white jeans he was wearing really articulated the lining of his muscles well and Hajime would stare at them for longer had he not been brought back to Earth by a shift in Oikawa’s movements.

“I, uh, have been well? I think?” He hated how much he had to try not to let his voice waver.

“You think?”

“I mean, it’s not like uni’s can be ridden like a swift wind, you know,” he joked.

Oikawa let out a nervous laugh. “Yeah. Same for me.”

It was silent between the two of them and Hajime scratched the space behind his ear.

“So, how’s Takeru doing?”

“Takeru has been asking for you.”

They stared at each other, before bursting into a laugh. They had spoken at the same time, both about Oikawa’s nephew.

“Let’s try that again,” Oikawa said, still laughing.

Hajime snickered too. “I was going to ask how your nephew’s doing, but I guess not really that fine if he wants to see me that badly.”

“Not true!” Oikawa blurted out, a little too fast. He seemed to realize that, too, as he shut his mouth, pressing his lips against each other. Hajime laughed again.

“How long were you actually looking for him?” Hajime asked, actually curious.

Oikawa scoffed. “Only for 10 minutes, but the kid likes to be a drama queen, so put two and two together.”

“I bet,” Hajime hummed in agreement.

“It’s funny though,” Oikawa said.

“What is?”

“Actually and quite literally running into you, here on campus.”

Hajime had to agree. Quite literally running into each other.

“I thought you had forgotten about me,” Oikawa suddenly said, taking Hajime off guard.

“What?”

“I… have seen you around campus two or three times already,” Oikawa confessed. Hajime couldn’t help but just stare at him.

“What?” he repeated.

Oikawa sighed, started to get irritated. Hajime could tell that clearly. He furrowed his brows.

“Nevermind,” Oikawa finally said. “I’ve got to get going to class. Um, see you around?” he asked Hajime, throwing the latter off.

Hajime blinked. “Uh, yeah. I guess.”

Neither of them said anything — Hajime didn’t know what to say and Oikawa seemed like he had something else to say, but didn’t.

“I— uh, tell Takeru I said ‘hi’, I guess,” Hajime said, scratching the back of his head, looking at the ground. Why on Earth was he feeling so awkward around Oikawa?

He looked back at Oikawa. The soft smile he had put on his face made Hajime’s throat clench — and he didn’t know why.

“Will do,” Oikawa said in the softest voice he had heard him speak in yet.

“O—” Hajime coughed. Fuck. “Okay. Well, gotta go too. See ya!”

“Bye.”

Hajime quickly turned around, but something about Oikawa’s small ‘bye’ didn’t sit right with him. He shook it off, though, the minute he saw what time it was. Shit, he was going to be late for class.

In the following weeks Iwaizumi had seen Oikawa around more often, but he didn’t feel like talking to him. It had felt awkward the last (and first, actually) time, so he just wrote it off as feeling too busy to talk to him.

But he couldn’t help but let that sting him somewhere in his chest.

To be really honest, Iwaizumi had been looking for Oikawa around campus now. They weren’t really in the same department, but their majors nearly resembled each other in a way.

Still, Hajime couldn’t confess out loud that he was actively looking for him.

It took Oikawa to start a new conversation between the two of them. It was two months after their first meeting. Oikawa ran up to him, yelling out his name from across campus. Onlookers were confused with the event happening in front of their eyes: with Oikawa’s running it nearly looked like they were long lost lovers reuniting after ages.

Hajime couldn’t contain a blush erupting after the thought.

Oikawa scolded him for being so far away from him that he had to run all the way over to him. Hajime only focused on the pout that Oikawa wore.

“Takeru misses you, you know?” Oikawa stated, not looking Hajime directly in his eyes, and fidgeting with his fingers. It brought Hajime back to his present self.

“Does he now?”

“He keeps saying “Uncle Iwa-chan needs to play with me again”,” Oikawa laughed at the memory.

“Uh, Iwa-chan?” He couldn’t remember telling Takeru his name, but his mind was probably playing mind tricks on himself. That had started happening since he met them.

“Haha, yeah. Isn’t it cute. Iwa-chan. Well, Takeru wants to play with you so bad.”

Hajime didn’t hear the rest and went numb for a second. Hearing Oikawa saying that nickname Takeru came up for him was having a different effect on him than when he imagined Takeru saying it.

“He honestly can’t stop talking about you. It’s so cute, just imagine a five year old bragging about playing with an uncle that isn’t even his real uncle.” Oikawa laughed at the thought, and Hajime couldn’t help but join him.

“That’s funny,” Hajime told Oikawa. “I just imagined him running around a house and calling my name over and over again.”

“That’s not just an imagination,” Oikawa blurted out. He wasn’t looking at Hajime, but the latter sure was.

“What?”

“You really need to come over.”

It was abrupt, sudden, and overwhelming.

“I—”

“Please,” Oikawa pleaded. “It has been so crazy. He doesn’t want to play with his other toys anymore and my sister is running out of ideas — so I just told her that I would make sure to bring you over,” Oikawa rushed saying.

Hajime didn’t know what to say. He was feeling some type of way but couldn’t really place it. The sound of Oikawa’s pleading voice was something he hadn’t heard before.

“Oh,” was the only thing he could mutter out.

“I mean!” Oikawa said, rushed. “You shouldn’t feel too much pressure into coming, of course. We can perfectly handle it ourselves, but—”

“Extra help from the one he’s calling for might actually help,” Hajime piped in.

Oikawa seemed to be surprised by his answer, Hajime noticed. But he must be imagining it as Oikawa quickly turned away from him. “Would be cool,” he said, not showing his face.

Hajime decided to ignore whatever feeling was rubbing on him and nodded. “Cool. What time and where?”

“I was thinking this Saturday, 3PM?”

“Works fine for me.” Hajime grabbed his phone from his pocket to write down the details in his calendar. “What’s the address?”

Oikawa told him his sister’s address and made sure Hajime had the correct one by leaning into his personal space a little bit more. Hajime didn’t mind.

They left, bidding each other a couple goodbyes — especially Oikawa, not forgetting to leave with a quick bow.

The rest of the days… Hajime counted them down until it was finally Saturday and he would see Oikawa— ahem, Takeru again.

Hajime couldn’t deny feeling a little giddy approaching Saturday.

“Oh, you’re here!” The wide smile of Takeru’s mom — Oikawa’s sister, Hajime remembered — made him blush. She really resembled Oikawa and, in a quick moment, Hajime could see that wide smile fit Oikawa’s face perfectly. He hadn’t seem him smile like that, but he didn’t mind the thought.

“Iwa-chaaaan,” Takeru yelled from inside the living room. The door between their front door and the living room was closed, but Hajime could hear him perfectly. He laughed as the kid kept yelling.

“Sorry about that. Tooru made the mistake of spoiling that you were coming and he was even more excited,” Takeru’s mom told him as she let him in. He excused himself, laughing again, and he thought of how Tooru would have told Takeru he was coming.

Tooru.

Hm.

He walked through the door only to be attacked by the little boy in question, clenching his arms around his legs.

“IWA-CHAN.”

Hajime could honestly get used to this nickname Takeru gave him.

He hoisted the younger kid up in his arms and Takeru embraced him in a big bear hug. “I’m so glad you’re heeeeere.”

“Me too,” Hajime confessed. He walked around their big house, with Takeru still on his arm and telling him (directing him) where to go. They were headed towards their garden, Hajime figured. “Do you have anything special planned for us for today?” he asked him.

Takeru shook his head wildly. “Yeah!!”

“Awesome!” Hajime couldn’t actually believe he and this boy had a connection like this even though they just met. “Can you tell me? Or do you want to keep it a secret?”

Takeru shook his head. “I can tell you!” As he went to scream about the variety of activities he wanted to do with Hajime. They were laughing as they entered the garden — Hajime had been right.

But something sitting on the other side of the garden made him stop.

“Iwa-chan?”

“Takeru, I thought it was going to be the two of us,” he whispered. “What’s that person doing over here? Have you betrayed me?”

Takeru blew a raspberry through his lips. “He was not invited, but he’s the party pooper of the family. I never like hanging with him, that’s why you’re heeeere,” he sang.

Hajime laughed hard. “The party pooper?” He walked over to that edge of the garden, the person sitting there looking hurt by Takeru’s words. “Oh, hey, Oikawa.” He sent him a grin, feigning that he had just noticed him.

“Hey, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa mocked back.

Hajime’s heart did a little jump. Or did it? He couldn’t really tell. He swallowed loudly and instantly hated himself for it. He hoped that Oikawa didn’t hear any of that.

“You gotta call him Tooru, okay?” Takeru said, pointing his little finger into his chest.

Hajime let him down on the ground, and scratched his head. Oikawa and he weren’t that close, yet, so calling him by his first name… wouldn’t that make their friendship — if he could even call it that — super awkward?

He chose to ignore Takeru’s statement, as Takeru did the same, running away to get his toys to show to Hajime. He sat down, not daring to look Oikawa in his eyes.

“You don’t have to call me by my first name if that makes you uncomfortable,” Oikawa cut in, his thoughts disrupted and suddenly gone. Hajime just nodded.

His smile had faltered a little, he noticed right as Takeru was making his comeback, hands full with toys. He quickly made sure to smile widely as Takeru yelled out his name, coming back for him.

“Sorry for making you go through all of this,” Oikawa said, opening the door for him. Unintentionally — maybe? — Oikawa walked Hajime to his car. “He can get so excited when he wants something, as you might have noticed,” he quickly added.

“It was alright,” Hajime said. “Don’t worry about it too much. I honestly had a blast and I could tell Takeru did, too.”

“He sure did.” Oikawa was clearly thinking back about the memories that were made.

“This is my car.” Hajime suddenly hated saying that. He didn’t want to leave yet.

They weren’t looking at each other as the sun was setting. Hajime thought the colors were pretty and wanted to ask Oikawa what he thought as another thought popped in. The thought of how how pretty Oikawa must look like in the colors of the setting sun.

“Do you—” Hajime started right as Oikawa was about to open his mouth. “You first,” he said softly, his voice softer than he had intended. And he had been right: the sunset did look pretty on Oikawa’s features.

“Uh… okay… I was going to ask if I can have your number?” Oikawa was looking down, a light blush creeping up on his cheek. Hajime saw it.

“Oh, absolutely.” He whipped out his phone and quickly — fumbling, actually — got his contacts list out for Oikawa to put his in. Oikawa did the same for him.

“Cool.” Hajime put away his phone. “Cool,” he nervously repeated.

“Cool,” Oikawa repeated as well.

Hajime looked at Oikawa, their eyes meeting. Their stare felt like a century long, but it was only mere seconds before Oikawa quickly looked away, blush still painted on his cheeks.

“I gotta get home, too, so I’ll get back to my sister’s now.”

“I can drive you home if you want?” Hajime slipped, followed by a slap to his forehead (and not a mental one).

Oikawa laughed as his hand dripped off his face. Hajime liked that. “I’m good. I came by bike, but thank you for the offer, though.”

“Okay, then.” He opened the door to his car. “Well,” he started, sitting down, “see you around on campus, then?”

Oikawa nodded. “Yeah. See you around on campus.” His voice was softer than before, Hajime realized as he slammed his door close and was waving to Oikawa as he drove off.

Way softer.

What Hajime didn’t know, however, was the fact that Oikawa had saved his contact under ‘Iwa-chan’.

When did it start bothering Iwaizumi that they were only greeting each other on campus?

When did it start bothering Iwaizumi that they hadn’t texted since that day and the only thing they texted was a ‘im home wbu’ and a ‘Home too!’ back.

When did it start bothering him that the only smile they shared was when they walked past each other, raising just a hand?

Oikawa [8:18 pm]: do you want to go to the science museum with me and Takeru next Friday? if i’m right you have fridays off?

Iwaizumi [8:19 pm]: YES

Iwaizumi [8:19 pm]: i mean

Iwaizumi [8:19 pm]: sounds good

Oikawa [8:29 pm]: cool !!

Oikawa [8:30 pm]: one question tho

Oikawa [8:30 pm]: can you drive us?

Iwaizumi [8:49 pm]: sure that shouldn’t be a problem

It’s safe to say that Iwaizumi was, in fact, freaking out.

The time flew by so fast, and by the time it was Friday he hadn��t thought that much about it.

But now it was Friday morning, 8 am — note: he needs to leave at 9:30 — and he’s freaking out over what to wear. Actually, why should he? It’s not like they’re going on a date or anything, with Oikawa bringing Takeru and it actually being their appointment first. He was coming in second place.

Should he wear the black pants or his favorite ripped jeans? What will make his thighs look good? Why even do his thighs need to look good? Ugh.

Should he wear his favorite sweater or his favorite t-shirt. Which will look better on him? Does he want to look like boyfriend material a good person or make his muscles stand out?

Why did this even bother him this much? This was driving him crazy. Fuck.

He kept running his hands through his hair, sighing expressively, and throwing one piece of clothing on the ground after the next.

He couldn’t believe this was making him so agitated .The time suddenly read 9:02 and he really should be making work of his outfit.

Oh, fuck it all. He grabbed the nearest hoodie and pants and just prayed to the fashion lords that it was going to work. It probably won’t but he could still pray.

He drove off to Oikawa’s house — Oikawa had texted him the address yesterday, and it made Hajime feel something he couldn’t really place. The closer he got to Oikawa’s place, the more nervous he was becoming. His heart was racing in his chest and he just wanted it to stop.

Oikawa got in once he’d reached his house, telling him he’d do the directions for him so that he can turn his phone off. Hajime had only been to Takeru’s place once but he could tell they weren’t headed for Takeru’s house.

“Where are we going?”

“To the science museum,” Oikawa said in all seriousness.

“What about Takeru?”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”

“Tell me what?”

“Takeru wasn’t allowed to actually come. My sister had him stay at home.”

Hajime didn’t really buy it, but he was too focused on the road to continue the conversation.

“Oh,” he just says. “Okay.”

So that means the two of them will be on a date. A date.

Hajime could have decided to turn around and not take Oikawa’s statement because Takeru wasn’t tagging along, but he actually didn’t mind.

On the road they talked about uni and found out the many things the two of them and their separate educations had in common. They were laughing about the professors they shared and talked about where their favorite spots were. Turned out Oikawa and Hajime had a lot more in common than they had realized before. Especially Hajime.

Their date inside the science museum went very smoothly. Hajime enjoyed the time he spent with Oikawa and — if he was right — so did Oikawa.

Hajime still wanted to bring up the aforementioned ‘fact’ about Takeru not actually joining and it just being the two of them, but he couldn’t find the right time.

Until Oikawa offered to take him to his favorite cafe in the neighborhood they were in.

“Oikawa,” Hajime started, interrupting him. “I want to know something.”

Oikawa stopped in his tracks and was softly affected by Hajime’s serious face. “What is it?”

“Why didn’t Takeru join us? The real reason, I mean. I want to know it.”

He started laughing nervously. “Haha, what do you mean?”

“You know I’m not actually buying you saying Takeru can’t join us because of his mom wanting him to be at home?” Hajime didn’t look at Oikawa. Instead, he stared at the ground, fidgeting his hands in his pockets.

“Oh,” sounded Oikawa’s voice. It was a new sound; Hajime had been unfamiliar with it before. But he did know he wanted to get used to that voice.

“You didn’t think I would buy that, did you? Before you and your sister were saying you wanted me to entertain him, and now he has to stay at home? I mean, if it’s true, then alright I’m here for that, but it doesn’t sound believable, you know?” Hajime breathed in. That was a long sentence he didn’t mean to say like that.

“I guess you’re right,” Oikawa confessed.

It took Hajime off guard.

“Oh?”

“I just wanted to spend some time together. The two of us. On a date,” Oikawa confessed.

“A… a date?” Hajime stuttered. Oikawa nodded.

“A date, yeah,” he repeated.

So it was a date? Hajime didn’t know what to believe. At first he was thinking about the two of them feeling l like they were on a date and these were Oikawa’s exact intentions? That was… weird to say in the least.

“Oh,” was the only thing Hajime could get out.

“Do you hate that thought?” Oikawa asked him, all of a sudden.

Hajime looked up, Oikawa was staring at him. Suddenly becoming immensely self conscious of himself, Hajime bit his lip and ran his hand through his hair. Did he hate that thought? He didn’t really know for sure. He was almost sure he liked it more than he was admitting to himself right now.

“I… don’t think I do,” he finally decided on saying.

That seemed to relieve Oikawa. “Good.”

It was silent for the next couple seconds between them. Hajime didn’t know what to say and neither did Oikawa.

“I like you, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa blurted out.

That damned nickname.

It took Hajime back. “What?” he managed to get out. “What do you mean.”

Oikawa sighed loudly. “I like you a lot. Like a lot-lot. I didn’t really know before because you were always hanging with my nephew, but I know for sure now. After having spent some time with you today, when it was just the two of us and we were having so much fun — again, with just the two of us and no annoying nephew involved—”

“It was fun with Takeru, though,” Hajime interrupted him.

“Iwa-chan! That’s beside the point,” Oikawa scolded him. He sighed again, getting back into his story. “Anyways, I finally realized after that that I just wanted to spent some time with you — alone. I wanted a deeper connection with you and this was the only way I felt like accomplishing that.”

They didn’t make eye contact. Oikawa was unsure of looking Hajime in the eyes, while the latter didn’t mind staring at Oikawa.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes!”

“Oh.”

“Yeah…” Oikawa took a deep breath. “So, yeah. I like you, Iwa-chan,” he muttered again.

Hajime thought back to the times he was thinking about Oikawa in his daily life, even when the two of them hadn’t seen each other in a couple days. How Oikawa would occupy his mind and he didn’t bother thinking about anything else. How he would think about asking Oikawa what his favorite color was, or what ice cream he liked best, or what his favorite animal was… all the cliche questions you could think of, he wanted to ask them to Oikawa.

“You don’t have to answer me right now,” Oikawa said. “Don’t worry too much about that. I just wanted to make sure to have said it before we split ways and I’d regret it yet again.”

“Again?”

Oikawa laughed. Hajime found himself liking the sound of it.

“Heck yeah, again,” he grinned. “I tried dropping so many hints and you were just not picking them up. I was worried you only talked to me for Takeru, you know.”

“Oh.” He thought for a second. “You don’t have to be afraid of that anymore, though.”

Oikawa stopped laughing. “I don’t?”

“No. I… think… I think I’d like to try and return those feelings,” he confessed, his blood slowly rising up to his cheeks. He couldn’t recall the last time his cheeks had felt this hot.

“Really?”

“Really. Oikawa, I mean it. I… was unsure how to address it since it honestly has been some time for me—”

“Are you serious? But you’re so super hot!” Oikawa exclaimed, stepping closer to Hajime and firing up his cheeks even more.

He didn’t know what to say in return, especially with Oikawa this close to him.

“Oikawa, I’m trying to be serious right now.”

“I know, and I think it’s adorable.”

Hajime sighed frustratedly. “I guess.”

“You should start calling me Tooru, though,” Oikawa said, teasing Hajime with a finger trailing over his arm. “Iwa-chan.”

Of course, Hajime would give into that. Maybe, just maybe, he could get used to this.
