#inunaki x reader

[butterznack]

Everyone was genuinely surprised when Inunaki casually announced one day he was engaged, but the Black Jackal’s players were even more astounded when he said you were his betrothed. The boys knew who you were to their beloved libero, or half of it apparently. Though no one complains, if Inunaki is truly happy then so be it.

“How long have ya been datin’?” Atsumu asks.

“What do you mean how long?” Inunaki huffs as he shoves his dirty clothes in his duffel bag. “We were already dating when you were just a rookie. Hell, we’ve been together before Bokuto tried out for the team.”

Inunaki has all eyes on him when he exits the locker room, he ignores it. He notices you waiting outside the gymnasium, head hanging low as you mindlessly scroll through your phone. “Don’t stand like that,” Inunaki says and you jump in surprise, “I don’t wanna hear you complain about back pain again.”

“Asshole, don’t scare me like that,” you swat his arm, but your boyfriend isn’t one bit sorry when he sticks his tongue out at you.

Inunaki walks ahead of you toward the subway station, and you don’t catch up to him yet, simply strolling a few feet behind him while still browsing through your socials. Inunaki halts when you reach the station and turns to face you.

“Careful,” he says, grabbing your arm and dragging you closer to him. You weren’t paying attention to the crowd coming from the inside of the station and nearly bumped with a dozen people hurrying outside.

“Get off your phone before you kill somebody,” Inunaki half-jokingly scolds, his hand coming down to hold yours.

“Sorry, dad,” you scoff and your boyfriend flicks your forehead. “What was that for?” Inunaki shushes you as you step in the wagon.

You’ve always been kind of loud, but Inunaki guesses he might have been at fault here. As a child, he was kind of a wild boy, always hauling you in adventures that resulted in both your parents having to separate one from the other. Unluckily for them, you would find a way to reach each other again or cause problems without even trying.

Everyone thought he had a bad influence on you, and vice versa. But in the end, no one could ever deny Inunaki was the best thing that could happen to you, and vice versa. Truth be told, you were both a bad influence and a blessing to each other, and that’s what made loving you so natural and easy.

You don’t sit beside each other in the subway, and you don’t walk close to each other on your way home. You won’t always hold him close every night, and you won’t always ask for a kiss in the morning, because you never did before the two of you started dating. In fact, none of you remember how exactly it happened. Inunaki proposed a week ago after a match, without a ring or getting down on his knee, just a smooch against your cheek for good measure, so he guesses it’s not a bad thing if you won’t commit to memory all the important moments of your life as a couple.

Because loving you is easy, and Inunaki has always loved you, when you are fighting him for the remote because it’s your turn to choose the movie tonight, or when you’re snuggling against him in bed, breathing in sync and slowly drifting to sleep.

Inunaki loved you as his best friend first, and falling in love with you was a logical turn of events for him. But he figures why his teammates didn’t quite catch it when he told them you were engaged, you never acted as a couple in front of them, he can’t even recall a time when you kissed him or when Meian or Adriah would have caught you making out somewhere in the gymnasium or at a party.

But still, Inunaki can’t wait to tie the knot with you, call you his forever. His dream was always to marry his best friend.

“I told the guys about our engagement,” your boyfriend says matter-of-factly as he removes his shoes.

“Let me guess, they didn’t realize we were dating,” you chuckle and Inunaki nods. “You owe me 1000 yen,” you add, grinning.

“What? Since when?”

“We made a bet, yesterday,” you walk in the living room and flop down onto the couch. Your boyfriend makes a face and before you can ask what’s wrong he’s already out of your sight, and back just as fast. “What is this?”

Inunaki sits in front of you, holding a tiny box in his hand. “The ring, I bought it yesterday,” he answers, opening it, “Y/N, will you marry me?”

You shot him a big smile, “I already said yes, idiot.”

“Well I gotta do things right, maybe you weren’t serious,” he says, smirking when you gasp and throw a pillow at him.

“Don’t be ridiculous, I have my best friend, the love of my life, proposing to me, I would be a fool to refuse,” you giggle while Inunaki slides the ring on your finger.

“For once, I agree with you. Who wouldn’t want this,” Inunaki gestures at his face.

“I’m more interested in the money that comes with it, but okay,” you shrug playfully, laughing when Inunaki throws the pillow back at you. He comes lying down on top of you, head nuzzling in the crook of your neck. “I knew you only loved me for my assets,” he mumbles.

“‘Course I do,” you reply.

Inunaki doesn’t fight back, and you both lay there in silence, limbs entangled as exhaustion starts to make itself felt. It’s plenty enough to love you like that, but for good measure, Inunaki presses a chaste kiss to your lips, whispering I love yous, just for good measure.

a/n : i just think inunaki is such a laidback character sharing an amazing bond with his partner plus he’s really cute i absolutely love every panel of him in the manga (≧∀≦)

Character: Inunaki x reader

“Oh Y/n~” You sighed as you set your glasses (if you don’t have glasses, then pretend you use computer glasses) down on your desk, turning around with a smile to face your boyfriend, Shion Inunaki. You smiled as you crossed your legs, placing your elbow on one knee and your head on your palm. “Dearest, love of my life, my most favorite person in the whole world~” You shook your head as you laughed. “What is it Shion?” He gave you a goofy smile as he sat on the couch you had in your office. 

“Are you free to go out later tonight? Maybe spend the evening together? I  know you’ve had a lot of work lately but I think it’d be good for you to get out of the house.” You nodded as you leaned back in your chair, “You’ve got that right. But, yeah that should be fine, what time should I be ready?” He smiled, “5:30, I have some big things planned~” 

He got up and quickly kissed your cheek before walking out of your office, softly closing the door behind him as he did. You smiled to yourself as you turned back around towards your computer. You and Inunaki had been together for 2 years now, having moved in together just over a year ago since it was more convenient for both of your schedules and commutes. 

You loved your boyfriend dearly; he was joyful, outgoing, supportive and never failed to make you know you were loved. You always appreciated the things he did, but out of everything he did for you, the little things he did were always your favorite. The way he’d always close the door when he left your office, or wash dishes without you having to ask on a long day, the way he’d always let you shower first and he made sure to make his (and yours if you don’t :p) side of the bed. 

You were madly in love with him, and he was just as deep in love with you.You worked for about another hour until you could stop for the day. It was now 4:37, so that gave you just under an hour to get ready. You took a nice shower, got your make up and hair done, and decided on what to wear. At about 5:27 Inunaki knocked on your door, coming in and whistling when you said ‘come in’ you laughed as you stood up from your vanity walking over and taking the hand he extended. 

He walked you to the car and opened your door, closing it for you before he jogged back around to the drivers side door, getting in and driving off. “So, If I may ask, where are we going?” He smirked to himself and gave you a small mischievous glance before returning his gaze back to the road. “You’ll see~” You smiled as you shook your head, looking out the window and softly resting your hand on the one he placed on your thigh. 

He drove for a good 15 minutes until he stopped, “I’ll be right back, sit tight for a bit.” He exited the car and headed into the small restaurant you two have been frequenting since you had started dating. The old married couple had always been very good to you both, always giving you just a little more than you ordered or slipping in a few extra sweet treats. Coming out less than 5 minutes later with a take out bag in his hand, he got back in the car and started driving. He finally stopped at a small park you both used to frequent, getting out and grabbing the bag before the two of you walked over to the bench you always sat at. 

It was about 5:50 by now so the sun was just starting to set, giving the two of you a nice view to watch as you ate. You two chatted and what not while you ate, talking about what had been going on in your lives and remembering the fond memories the two of you had made in that park.You wiped your hands with a napkin before putting yours and Inunaki’s trash in the take away bag. “Ready to go?” You nodded and stood up, him taking the bag and throwing it away before taking your hand and leading you back to the car. 

You drove around for a little bit more, “Hey Shion?” Keeping his eyes on the road he answered you, “Yes baby?” You turned in your seat to face him a little, “Not that I don’t love this but, why all the secrecy...?” He just smiled while he gently took your hand and intertwined it with his, giving the back of your hand a kiss before setting your joined hands to rest on the center console. “You’ll see.” This time, his response was a lot more sincere than it was playful, and you could tell he was nervous by the slight squeeze he gave your hand. 

‘Wait...is he going to-’ “We’re here my dear~” You chuckled at the little rhyme he made before getting out of the car. “..The stadium?” He nodded, just grabbing your hand and leading you inside. It was a saturday and almost 7, so no one was there. He remained uncharacteristically quiet as he lead you through the stadium, all the while your heart was practically beating out of your chest. And there was one thing going through your mind. 

He turned towards you and offered a small, wobbly smile as he opened the main stadium’s doors, holding for you as he told you to wait for him in the center of the court. You did as you were told, noting when you got there that there was only one set of lights turned on, which just so happened to be where you were standing. Your heart continued to race as you felt your palms get sweaty, you began to fiddle a bit with your fingers as the minutes passed by. 

“Y/n,” You turned around to see Inunaki, on one knee, a velvet box held in his hands as his gaze shakingly held yours. Your hands quickly went to cover your mouth, trying to muffle the sounds of your crying. “Do you remember 2 years ago when we met?” You slowly nodded, he cracked a smile as he remembered. It had been a fairly grueling practice, Bokuto had been hitting pretty nasty spikes, and Inunaki was the one directly receiving them. They had heard the doors open and the sound of heels and talking, but they were a little pre-occupied. 

That is until Bokuto’s hit was a little too hard and Inunaki wasn’t able to receive it normally. That causing the ball to shoot off to the right, and directly into the face of the pretty lady that had walked in. The pretty lady who just so happened to be meeting to set up interviews nonetheless. So as Inunaki took the pretty lady, who he learned to be Y/n L/n, to the nurse despite her protests there was one thing or rather thought running through his mind. 

One day, he was going to marry her. “2 years ago we met, and since that day there has been one thing i’ve wanted, above volleyball, above winning, above everything else,” He inhaled a shaky breath as his breathtaking eyes met yours, “The one thing i’ve wanted for the past two years is to make you my wife. So, Y/n L/n, if you’d do the honor of letting me be your husband, it would be my absolute dream come true to be able to call you my wife.” 

You took a moment to wipe some of the tears out of your eyes as you nodded, managing to get out a ‘yes’ before he shot up, crushing you in a hug, you clutching onto him like your life depended on it. 

You loved the things Inunaki did for you. All of the little things, and all of the big things. But if there was one thing that made you love him the most it would have to be how you knew that no matter what he was always going to be there. And as you prepare to take this next step in your life together, you couldn’t be happier that it was Shion Inunaki you’d be getting to spend it with.

“Wise men say, Only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you”
