Haikyuu you say? Can you do kageyama, goshiki, and Tsuki headcanons? Their love languages, relationship headcanons sfw and nsfw, or anything you want!!

A/N: Bless youuuu! Thank you for sending one in for me and oh this ones really good! I love options. YES KAGS! Some characters I haven't done yet yeeees. I can do this for sure <3

TAGS: relationship headcanons, love languages, dating them headcanons, fluff, smut under the cut, each one has a little bit of smut after the fluff, praise, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time

CHARACTERS: Kageyama Tobio, Tsukishima Kei, Goshiki Tsutomu

KAGEYAMA TOBIO:

Kind of awkward almost shy in the beginning like he's afraid of doing something wrong to ruin your relationship. He's aware that the things he says can be taken the wrong way and doesn't want that to happen with you.

If you ask him about it he will just 'I'm sorry, I don't want to mess this up.'

'Mess what up?'

'Us.' He's so serious too, blush over his cheeks and everything.

You have to set him straight and assure him it's fine to mess up. You're not going to break up with him over a misunderstanding. Plus you know what he's like by now.

Give him a reassuring hug and maybe a big smooch and he's all better. Also, he's a sucker for head pats, especially if your fingers really work and get tangled in there. He pushes into your touch like he craves it.

Tobio wants to be good for you so he feels reassured by this even more. He's your good boy.

Speaking of wanting to be good, words of affirmation are very big for him in terms of love languages. Praising him and acknowledging him is assure way into his heart.

Tell him things like 'Wow that set was so impressive!' and 'I never get tired of watching you play.' It really brightens his day. It also gets him going~ if you know what I mean.

Tell him you love him, little compliments about his outfits, that you appreciate him. These all go a long way. 'Damn baby you're looking extra good today!'

He stops and blushes all bashful before a smile crosses his lips. 'Thanks.' He says, pressing a kiss to your temple. 'You look good too.' His hands slide up and down your sides. 'But you always look good.'

'Well aren't you sweet.'

Even that gives him a little extra pep him his step. Being told he is sweet. Because he'll be anything for you! Sweet, loving, affectionate. As long as he can be yours.

Likes spending time just the two of you at home for dates. But isn't afraid to also take you out and spoil you. Kind of gets a sense of pride holding your hand in public.

Also big on other kinds of physical touch but more in private. Relies on you to recharge his battery after a long day. Just falls against you and cuddles.

Craves your warmth and affection. Wants you to stroke his hair. Likes it when you whisper those sweet affirmations to him at the same time.

Likes lying on top of you and pressing his face against your chest. Kind of has thing for you chest. Also a thing for squeezing your chest. The size doesn't matter nor does it matter if you've got breasts or pecs, he's just fixated there.

There are times he likes to just bury himself there, mouth attached to your nipple, sucking and licking to his hearts content. Will nip just to play around.

Works the other nipple with his fingers. Sometimes is there for ages ignoring how hard he is in his sweats.

It doesn't matter that he's been leaking pre-cum for ages. He contents himself by thrusting against you every now and again to relieve it.

It's not until your hands thread into his hair, tug at the roots and pull him up that he remembers to continue to the next step. He's a little dazed and starry eyed so bear with him.

Then your hands are on his cock and he's whining, begging for you to make him cum after he's edged himself for so long without even realising it.

TSUKISHIMA KEI

Tsukishima held his cards close to his chest until the moment the confession came and then all of a sudden he's dating you and he's not really sure how to switch to being vulnerable.

His cards don't all come down onto the table right away.

You've sort of got to pry them from him or just wait until he naturally gives them to you (either way he needs little pushes because he's rather stubborn).

He's not overly affectionate and sappy. But will catch you of guard sometimes with soft smiles or stares in your direction.

'What?' You'll ask.

'I'm just looking. Got a problem with that?'

'Not if you give me a kiss.'

'Tch.' Gives you one anyway. And not just some cheap chaste kiss. Puts the whole Tsukki back into it. A big old passionate kiss.

'Happy now?'

'Not quite.'

Rolls his eyes but he's smirking because yeah he's coming in for another kiss. and another and another. The kiss deepens and ohh here comes that tongue at a steady pace. Nice and easy. But oh does it take your breath away.

He can be sweet and a little shit all at once.

Will walk over and bonk you on the head for attention. The second you whip around to scold him he will steal a kiss. Sometimes its on the forehead, other times its the cheek but there's other times its smack bang on the lips.

Pulls away smirking like. 'Hey.'

Punch him honestly, he will just give you another one. Or laugh. Which ever one you don't mind about.

Loves to tease you but really enjoys partners who keep him in check about being a shit or tease him back. Humble him he finds it hot. Will be all 'Tch.' but inside he's like 'Damn, you really can handle me.' Wants to kiss you real bad but won't if it's in public. Just gets all smirky lol.

His love language probably falls more on the quality time side of things. Just being able to hang out and exist together is most important to him.

It doesn't always have to be big dates. He's good with easy hangouts at home with homecooked meals, watching movies together, listening to music and just chilling. Prefers it honestly.

He does, not that he'll admit it out loud, like going out occassionally just to show off that you're together. Kind of has this complex about it. Feels a rush of superiority having been the one to bag you. Drapes an arm around your shoulder or waist proudly, head held high. Ha, you're his.

The complex kind of falls in reverse though in terms of making him feel a little self conscious. Feels like he doesn't deserve you sometimes. Doesn't seek reassurance but tries not to be such an asshole from time to time.

Goes through 'I've gotta be good for you.' Phases. Where he thinks he really needs to be better. You can pick up on it and assure him he's fine, just a little prickly sometimes. 'Aren't we all?'

Huffs when you pepper kisses all over his face to make him feel better. Appreciates it though.

Does appreciate and crave a bit of that physical touch too. Isn't always good at initiating it. Sometimes sits there craving it while staring holes into the back of your head.

That's your cue to climb on into his lap and just hold him and kiss him all over. Nip and suck at his neck to hear those sweet gasps and moans.

His hands will find your waist and hold you tight. That allows you to naturally push down against him. Before you know it the two of you are grinding together.

Exchanging kisses, touches and and dry humping all the way to that sweet friction until that final release. He's not even embarrassed because hey, the both of you got lost in the moment.

The two of you are just crazy about each other.

GOSHIKI TSUTOMU

This guy omg, he flits between hell yeah you're going out with him to wow he can't believe you're actually going out with him. Bear with him alright? He's a bit all over the place emotionally.

The biggest sweetie though. Like, he always has your best interests at heart but is super self sacrificing at the start.

You have to be like boy! You need to tell me what you want too! This relationship is between two people! Please!

Appreciates you so much for it. Takes awhile to get there but is finally to be able start actually breaking that habit and tell you how he's feeling and what he wants to do.

Takes you on cute little dates. Starts wanting to show off in other ways other than just his volleyball skills. (totally compliment him on those btw he will love you forever)

Shows off by taking you to restaurants he thinks you'll like. Really gushes if he is right and you like the food. 'I'm just really good at picking places, I'm so glad you like the food.'

You snort but don't pay it much mind. 'Sure thanks for bringing me.'

You've got to give it to him for at least getting his confidence back right? It's kind of sweet.

Always asks permission to do things, like even the little things, doesn't just do it. 'Can I hold your hand?' or 'Can I hold you.' even 'Can I kiss you.' It's very endearing.

He has a blush on his cheeks every time even after you've been in a relationship for awhile. It's not that he's nervous anymore he's just really excited still. He will always be exited to be with you!

Really wants you to be at his games (if you can). He says it gives him extra strength knowing you're there cheering him on in person. Always asks for a kiss before the match too. It's for luck.

If you can't make it to the game he will ask for two extra kisses for EXTRA luck. Honestly he will just miss you but you don't need to know that. He also just likes kissing you.

The first time he tried to kiss you he accidentally got your nose. Was so embarrassed you had to grab him and kiss him to make him calm down. It didn't calm him down but it made him stop babbling lmao.

His love language is also Word of affirmation so praise that guy! Tell him you appreciate him and that he's the coolest, most talented guy you know.

One time, in bed while you were giving him a handjob you told him that he was the hottest, strongest ace you've ever seen and he let out the loudest moan and came right there and then. You just caressed his face and stroked him through it.

That's how you learnt that words of praise REALLY affected him. Especially in the bedroom. You could be in the middle of making out or having sex and a few praising words will having him moaning and tettering on the edge.

It's fascinating to watch just how quickly his brows knit together and his whines spill out.

Goshiki is very big on reciprocation too. He never likes to leave you hanging if he cums first. A bit of an overachiever too. If he cums once before you, he wants to make you cum twice.

Will spend hours going down on you. Kissing and biting up and down your thighs. Sometimes gets a bit hung up marking you he needs some help getting directions back to the main event.

Won't ever forget to please you though. Just likes to admire every inch of your body first.

Kagehina yap because I can't get them out of my brain even tho I need to go to bed bc I have a full day of lectures tomorrow,,,

(be warned yall that this is a long one, which is why I've put the big explanation under the cut)

Okay so Kagehina shouldn't be getting together before Brazil Arcc. If you wanna write them before then, go ahead I love a good bit of hs kghn or long-distance kghn as much as the next person. However, for their characters at the end of HS, I feel like they need to have the Adlers v MSBY match before they should be in a relationship:

The end of 3rd year:

At the end of their third year, Kageyama is still not fully open with Hinata, let alone anyone else. I'm not saying that you have to be completely open with everyone before getting into a relationship, but I think for their dynamic, he needs to learn to be more open with his emotions than he is at that point before you can have two personalities like him and Hinata in a relationship together.

At the end of third year, Hinata is still nowhere near Kageyama's skill level in volleyball. Again, I'm not saying that they need to have equal skill levels to be in a relationship however, Hinata does have a major inferiority complex about this specifically when compared to Kageyama and I don't think that, with he skill level he is at in 2015 (when they graduate). He can't catch up with Kageyama by becoming a skilled player in his own right without going to Brazil, we know this, but going to Brazil also develops his personality as well as his vb skills. He is now more confident and has learnt a lot and so he is able to be on what he considered equal footing with Kageyama (what he considered is the important part here bc of his issues with comparing himself to Kageyama, which we see the whole way through the story).

Now flip to post Brazil:

At this point, Kageyama has begun to open up a bit more by spending time with his teammates, mostly on Adlers, but you can assume JNT as well - we just don't see much of that bc Hinata is the protag, and he's busy sulking over Kags not visiting him atp. Like we can see this in small things like him showing Ushijima the photo of Hinata and Oikawa. He is now more open than he was in hs but he hasn't talked to (at least not much more than maybe like a couple two message interactions) Hinata in a couple years as far as we know. Because of their whole soulmate thing because Kageyama is still somewhat alone because of his skill level (see Kazuyo's promise)

At this point, Hinata is finally confident in his skill level, I mean, he was practically unknown and got into the MSBY D1 starting line-up. However, I think it's important to note that atp he has not beaten Kageyama so although he has definitely improved - he's earned the title of Ninja Shoyo, which is his own compared to the little giant (I can also yap abt that honestly) - he doesn't know whether he has caught up with Kageyama who, for all he knows could have improved just as much as he did in the time they were apart. Hinata might now have many brain cells, but he knows enough that it's silly to think that Kageyama has not improved at all while playing with the JNT and being in VL D1 since high school.

Post-Adlers v MSBY match:

Kageyama has now opened up. This bit is less about opening up to those around him (although he has, see "took you long enough") and is more about him being open with his own emotions. Obviously, he's not suddenly fixed years of emotional repression in one match, but he's chosen to open himself up to Hinata (see being happy/smiling at losing a match) and therefore also open with the audience (we finally see his backstory - that idea is not mine it's from this post it's rlly good u should read it). At this point, I feel like he is ready to have a healthy relationship with Hinata while still working through his other issues. He isn't going to be magically perfect now, but still, he's at a maturity point where he would be able to be in a relationship with someone as competitive as him and Hinata are together.

Hinata has now won against Kageyama. He now knows and feels confident with his skills as a player of his own right and worth, and so now his competition with both people like Hoshiumi and then especially with Kageyama is not going to be him seeing himself as the small junior high version of him who got beaten in 30 minutes still trying to prove himself, but the amazing Ninja Shoyo who is an amazing all-rounder and a wing spiker (the position he's wanted to play in order to be ace which he didn't get a chance to play before). He has grown as a person already while in Brazil, but this win is simply confirmation that he has done what he went there to do. He can trust that he made the right choice to leave Kageyama and the trust and dynamic that they had created (which was a major worry of his through the first part of the Brazil arc - with the homesickness and seeing Kageyama in the Olympics) and is better for it. this game proves it all to him, and he can welcome Kageyama and a possible relationship with him now that they are equals, rivals and a team at the same time.

Finally, onwards:

We finally see that they are together, whether you want that to be as teammates and best friends/platonic soulmates or as romantic soulmates it's up to you, but we see that they have improved both in vb and in their relationship together (see one of my fav panels to ever exist with their fist bump in JNT uniforms).

They are on the same team together, except stronger, when they go to the Olympics together. And then when we see after that, they still have a strong dynamic with them both declaring they're going to win in the Ali Roma v ASAS São Paulo game which makes me think that they keep in contact a lot better than they did while Hinata was playing beach - only bc there seems to be less of the tension that is there when they meet before the MSBY Adlers game.

Anywaysss that pretty much concludes my yap on why they shouldn't get together until after the Brazil arc. I could probably say a billion more things about this, but this was the best way to get any sort of coherence from me about this. I will probably do more yaps so if people want, feel free to ask me questions in my ask box or in the notes!!!!

(Also I hope yall appriciate the colour coding, I chose the purple over the blue cause I felt it was more Kageyama coded, at least on my phone it is)

“Huff huff… This is taking forever! How does Tanjiro do this so fast?” Nezuo thinks to herself, leaving trails of her footprints in the snow. The wind blows through the woods, her hair threatening to come undone from the next tug. She fiddles with the strap so the basket won’t fall off, continuing to think about how much of a pain this journey is. She starts to feel pity on her older brother who walks up this hill almost every day to sell coal. “Wow Tanjiro… The patience you have is insane..”

It’s been a day since she went off down to the village to sell coal. She planned to be home by midnight but thanks to her dear neighbor, Enmu had let her rest and stay the night. Still eternally grateful for what he’s done, she mentally thanks him once again continuing up the mountain. She looks back up, out of breath like she’s ready to collapse and she notices the roof of her house just some trees away.

Finally, she reaches her stop.

Nezuko practically runs the rest of the way up to her home, smiling happily. Finally, she can rest again, finally she can talk to her family, finally she can hug them all in a tight hug, finally she can check up on their well being, finally she can do her old tasks.

She freezes, staring at the open door. It’d be fine to leave the door open, they tend to leave it open all the time it’s just… Why was it so quiet? It was… Too quiet.

“Takeo? Hanako? Tanjiro? Shigeru? Rokuta? Mom…?” Nezuko called out for their names, wandering around the outside of their house thinking all of this was just a silly game. “Perhaps they're still asleep? But Takeo doesn’t sleep late… Maybe they were worried about me? Haha, how cute!” the girl chuckles at the thought, they’ve all had those moments worrying night about each other- especially their big brother Tanjiro.

I mean, nothing bad can go wrong right?

She goes back to the door, still open letting the cold air in. Nezuko felt uneasy, her mind kept screaming at her to run and not look back. Like what was inside her beloved house was now a nightmare. However, Nezuko doesn’t step back. She pushes her doubtful feelings away- there could be nothing awful in the house and if she's the big sister, she’ll take care of it!

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Iwaizumi is the kind of guy to let little kids win arm wrestling matches so they feel strong. For example Takeru Oikawa has 'beat' Iwaizumi and brags about it to Oikawa saying it was easy and that he should've tried harder. Iwaizumi always plays along saying he will beat him next time

Tendou walks around the house singing songs from your shared playlist and stops waiting for you to finish the lyrics to the song. LOVES when you play along.

Kuroo has a cat headband. Like the kind that pushes your hair back. No one else knows but he thinks he looks cute.

Kyotani is an amazing singer. Once after practice he was humming to himself which turned into singing. When he got out the team was standing there shocked. Mattsun still has the video.

Kageyama does anything Suga tells him too. Like once he was hungry and Suga told him he could leave if he got everyone food as a joke but Kags came back arms full of food.

Nishinoya sounds like beast boy imo, had to put that out there

Akaashi is super outgoing with bokuto when they are alone. When they are studying he gets bored and stands up doing a dramatic performance for Bokuto and gets him to join. Bokuto doesn't understand how he goes from 0 to 100 real quick and finds it funny. no one believes him if he tries to tell anyone.

iwaizumi promised Oikawa when they were little to hit everyone who hurt him, which is why he hits him so much because Oikawa is the meanest to himself

Bokuto is banned from having regular coffee. To keep him entertained Kuroo will give him decaf coffee but mostly drown it in milk. Bokuto really loves it because it's basically milk.

Tanaka lost a bet to Noya and had to wear a hot pink basically glowing to a practice match with Seijoh. Oikawa made fun of him so hard and Iwaizumi punched him but smiled.

Hinata believes in ghost and Tanaka and Noya give him hell for it.

Tsukishima has stretch marks from growing super fast

Yamaguchi's freckles are actually acne scars

Bokuto gives great hugs

Kita is a close second

The captains have meetings and they are absolutely FERAL. Like heres how I imagine it would go down

Daichi: SHUT UP MY MOM IS CALLING.

Kuroo: *moans as loud as possible while clapping his hands*

Bokuto: DAICHI!! PASS THE WEED

Oikawa: *crying in the corner because Ushijima made a comment of him being built like a doorframe*

Ushijima: Hi Mrs. Sawamura

Seijoh has a group chat dedicated to ugly pictures of Oikawa

Nishinoya used to bite people

Kuroo sings opera in the shower

Tsukishima dresses as a dinosaur every year but its a full body costume so no one knows but yamaguchi

suga learned french so he could shit talk people behind their backs

Kageyama knows he looks like a blueberry so he eats them when he is sad

Kyotani is ambidextrous. Don't ask why. He just is.

When you ask Bokuto his favorite color he says the color of your eyes

Tanaka wears your perfume

Bokuto loves hide and seek

Tanaka is a shoe guy 💀

#I’m too lazy to add all the tags #hq headcanons #haikyuu imagines #hq imagines #haikyuu headcanons #bokuto x you #bokuto x reader #daichi x y/n #daichi x reader #iwaizumi x reader #iwaizumi #kyotani x you #yamaguchi fluff

i’ve been thinking about haikyuu name meanings again, so i thought i’d share two of the name meanings that make me smile a lot :)))

木　boku - tree 兎　to - rabbit (?) 光　kou - shining, glory, pride 太郎　tarou - “great” son or first son 赤　aka - red, communism (??) 葦　ashi - reed (?) 京　kei - ten quadrillion; other readings (kyou, tokyo), capital city 治　ji - govern, regulate

so i’ve purposefully kept the direct kanji meanings, even tho most of them are simple and/or non sensical when applied to bokuto and akaashi’s character. but i've done so to replicate my own confusion and (hopefully) eventual satisfaction when i’d worked tho the many layers of word play.

so the first character of bokuto’s name 木 (tree) i originally thought was supposed to tie him to owls, yknow bc owls are often sitting in trees, and that might be part of it, but when 木 is used in adjectival constructions (so instead of ‘tree’ it might mean more ‘wooden’) and applied to people it often carries pejorative connotations of stupidity, close to the english ‘blockheaded’ - which i have to admit. did make me chuckle. (note: i thought there might be some connection between boku and boke the insult kags is always launching at hinata but they seem to be unrelated go figure)

兎 (to) was another confusing one, since ordinarily 兎 is the character for usagi (rabit), but when read as to there didn't seem to be any real mean associated with it, which is funny because most of the names in hq!! have more thought put into them then that. i was just about to write it off, when i looked up the two kanji together on wiktionary and-

木兎　mimizuko - alt. spelling for eagle/horned owl

see above: eagle owl and bokuto koutarou for comparaison.

so basically in bokuto's name there is both a pun calling him a bit thick and a pun with the type of owl that inspired him how fucking incredible is that??? i personally love it

光太郎 (koutarou) seems to be a bit more of a traditional name, and we also have a very clear in-universe explanation for it's meaning. bokuto is the youngest of three with two older sisters, and it seems mr and mrs bokuto were very proud to finally have a son (ehhh patriarchy sucks sorry it is what it is) and wanted to give him a name that reflected their feelings. however, i do also think that 光 can also be taken to represent bokuto's presence in the series as a whole.

the first meaning of 光 being 'shining' obviously makes me think of the most bokuaka line in all of canon "we are the stars of the world" (ik some translations use protagonists in place of stars but shhh i'm being symbolic plus the vers i read used "stars"), because bokuto is such a star, he shines so brightly, and motivates so many people (the least of whom being akaashi and the rest of fukurodani). bokuto was always destined for glory and stardom in volleyball, but i think he's also just. so bright of a person. like yes, ofc he has his moods and his caprices, but that doesn't change how much he just, well, shines, brightens up a room. i don't know how much of this was intentional or accidental, but i like it.

like with bokuto's name, i ran into a bit of trouble with 赤葦 (akaashi) at first. literally, it means red reed, which didn't really seem significant. although 赤 (aka) also means 'red' as in 'communist' so now even tho it is certainly not at all the intended meaning i now and forever will headcanon akaashi as being a communist or someone at the very least well versed in communist theory. however, like with bokuto, akaashi's name is actually a reference to アカアシフクロウ (akaashi-fukuro) or アカアシモリフクロウ (akaashi-mori-fukuro), so another type of owl

i've already talked about what i find so amusing about 京治 (keiji) in this post, but to summarise here (actually maybe this counts as an expansion?), the most relevant part to akaashi's character is the second kanji 治, meaning to govern or to regulate. 治 is sometimes used on it's own, but it is also often used in compounds related to peace, healing, (and politics, my commie akaashi headcanon wins again hahaha).

i think akaashi's character evolves from what it was intended to be, and i'm not sure how accurate this meaning is by the time we reach the end of canon (or maybe i've just been reading to much bokuaka fic and it's skewing my perception of him), but akaashi started out a bit like bokuto's external emotional regulator. for someone with as insane mood swings as bokuto, mood swings that other people struggled to understand and react to, he must have had quite a hard time, and indeed we're shown that his difficulties managing his emotions seriously and negatively affects his performance on the court. enter akaashi. akaashi, who through careful observation, quickly learns to not just react to bokuto's mood swings, but to understand them, their causes, and even eventually to anticipate them, effectively giving bokuto the tools he needs to learn to control his emotions and continue giving his all like akaashi knows he can.

i think it's relevant that 治 is also used to talk about healing and peace, (and not just governing which has rather unfortunate implications of control and coercion that i don't particularly like) because that is what akaashi's presence in bokuto's life ultimately provides, as evidenced by bokuto's growth by the end of the series ("hey look guys i'm just a normal ace!" meaning he's learned to manage his emotions by himself, something that i think would have been a much longer and harder journey without akaashi's influence).

when i said i'm not sure how accurate 治 is when applied to akaashi's character by the end of the series, i mean that i think it downplays the reciprocal nature of bokuto and akaashi's relationship, because for as much as akaashi helps bokuto manage his mood swings, bokuto also provides a lot of emotional support and motivation to akaashi. and i'm not sure this was something that furudate had already taken into account when first coming up with these characters.

i think there might be smaller symbolic meaning relating to akaashi's position as a setter, but that's really only a minor detail i think...

anyways, there you have it! bokuaka kanji meanings and thoughts!! do let me know if you have different interpretations, or if i've missed something, i really really reallyyyyy like talking about things like this but for now brb i am going to go read like a dozen bokuaka oneshots xx

#i feel like their names being owl refs is common knowledge like i feel like i already knew that #and had just forgotten #so to anyone that didn't already know or needed the reminder #here it is lol #bokuto koutarou #akaashi keiji #bokuaka #haikyuu #fukurodani

you're enough.

tw: breakdown, angst, hurt with comfort, a bit of cyber-bullying and bad comments (not from kags).

a/n: purely self-indulgent, hihi.

the sounds of crying resonates through the dimly-lit condo as you heave up and down. you couldn't breathe properly, the sadness consumed you in a way you never wanted. haven't you given enough?

a hand, a very warm hand at the small of your back coos you gently. kageyama didn't mind at all, he felt at frantic no matter how gentle his touch was.

kageyama wasn't good with this, he was awkward. but seeing you breakdown like this hurts him so bad, he could hear his heart shattering as your sobs became more louder.

each sob resonating the wall break his heart, the weight of the world was on your shoulders yet he can't figure out how to fix this. how to remove it from your shoulders.

this burnt out state you're in- this mess you were in, was so valid. yet the way you shook uncontrollably made his mind feel a bit haywired, short circuiting while it tried to comfort you.

"haven't i given enough, tobio? im so exhausted, so tired yet i can't even feel enough." you sobbed out to his chest, chin on top of your head as kageyama's hand continues to soothe you out.

"who said that love? you've done more than enough- you're enough. your feelings are valid. i know you're sad and im sorry for not knowing how to comfort you...but im always here for you." kageyama said in an awkward voice, but panicked quickly as you sobbed more on to his chest.

"i don't deserve you tobio! you shouldn't have a girlfriend who's sobbing because of other people's mean comments!" you wailed out more as you clutched his shirt. it hurts to know that you received so much hate, so much pressure from his fans.

"hey, who said that? what matters is i love you...and that i have you." the blue eyed adult whispered out in a bit of aggression, angry to whoever said that to you.

"but you could've done better you know? you could've found someone better, prettier and just perfect for you." you muttered out in a hurt tone, a clear indicator you were on the edge.

"and i did, because i have you. you're enough for me, im sorry for the way my fans treat you. i'll ask help from the pr to help us fix this. you don't have to pressure yourself." he whispers out quietly, breath stammering with the way this pressure was so...consuming and negative.

a kiss to your forehead, and long words he doesn't drag out outside of the corridors comfort you. sniffles turning in to laughter and a small smile replacing the frown you once had.

kageyama had to put a stop on to this. and so he did. the team posted a message, a text for privacy and respect. it may hurt, but doesn't his fans want him to be happy?

the bullying came to a stop as kageyama became more private on all his socials, pictures of fits and after-games with his teammates. what they don't know is that his other private account was filled with his everyday life- pictures of the both of you. from dates to gifts to just pictures of yourself.

kageyama stares at his phone, the picture of you wearing one of the biggest smiles he has seen after a few months. it makes his heart beam with pride as he gets to call you mrs. kageyama now, a big grin showing up on his face as he sees the wedding ring on your ring finger once he plopped his phone down on the bed.

you really were enough for him.

Non-romantic one-shot; more fatherly one-shot vibes

This is 100% word vomit so I’m sorry

———————————————————————

I can feel my fingers going numb as I cling to the vest of the Anbu that's been babysitting me the past couple of days. They hate when I call it babysitting but it's what they've been doing. "Kid, loosen your grip," my makeshift nanny says, trying to force my grip loose. I do as I'm told, loosening my hold a bit so my knuckles are no longer white.

I keep a hold on them though, following behind them blindly as we weave around the Hokage's palace. I don't know why I'm here. All I've been told is Lord Third wants me to meet someone. It's probably another shabby attempt at adoption.

Ever since Lord Fourth died, I along with his baby have been left alone in the world. I've seen the baby a few times. He's the cutest little bean in the world. Chucks of blonde hair on his head, cute little whiskers imprinted on his face, and the chubbiest cheeks I've ever seen. I think his name is Naruto but I'm not too sure about that either. I'm not too sure about anything.

I can't tell if I'm looking into it too much or not but I'm pretty sure Lord Third has been purposely keeping me away for Minato's and Kushina's baby. I think the Lord is worried I'll get too attached to the baby. After all, Kushina and her husband took me in after my father's death during the war. That technically makes me the bean's family I suppose.

Maybe the Lord is right for keeping Naruto and me apart. He has to have his reasonings for it. I know the little bean has the Nine-Tail locked up in him, just like his mother did. Maybe that's why the Kage is so worried about Naruto getting attached to me, or me to him.

From my thoughts consuming my attention, I don't notice Mr - or Ms - Nanny has stopped, which causes me to bump into them. "I'm sorry," I murmur, getting sharp eyes cast down at me. Not the best reaction but better than a lecture.

"Remember your manners," Nanny says, glaring at me for another second before opening the door in front of us.

The command is a mix of my mouth with the Hokage and said attitude scaring off the people who were 'considering taking me in'. I have a bad - ego-humbling - habit of reminding Lord Third that he's not Minato, among other things. I think Kushina would be proud of me. Maybe that's why the Kage doesn't want me around her son.

"Y/N," Nanny's voice husks out, a warning in their tone as they tug the door half open, eyes peering down at me again. Maybe Nanny is a mister.

"Yes, Nanny," I mumble, pushing past them and walking through the doorway.

"I am not your nanny!" They call a bit huffy as they follow behind. "I am a high-ranked Shinobi of our village! I am not a nanny!"

I let my eyes roll at their tantrum, a bit of a smile tugging at my lips. Who knew it would be so easy to break the ego of an anbu?

"Y/N!" Lord Third calls, his fake chirp to it.

"Third," I mumble, doing a half curtsey. It might make me a bad person but I can't stop wishing Lord Third died instead of Minato. Maybe he knows that and that's why he doesn't want me near the baby.

"Jiraiya, this is the girl I was telling you about," the Lord says, turning his attention away from me.

I perk up a bit from the name. I've heard a bit about the frog-themed sage; most notably from Minato. Kushina talked about him a bit but most of the time she just called him a pervert.

The old man looks exactly as Minato described him; red strips down his face and fluffy wolf-like white hair. He's a weird-looking man.

"Is this another attempt of you pushing off your responsibilities?" I ask before I can stop myself. I can feel the anbu's glare from here. So much for watching my manners.

A string of coughs comes from the Kage before he clears his throat. "No, no, no. Of course not. I'm just-"

"Sick of me? You know, when Minato couldn't handle my attitude he'd go for a walk. He didn't pawn me off to the nearest person." Maybe I am just being difficult.

The room goes silent as a lovely staring contest starts. Anbu glaring at me. I try not to let the regret of my words sit on my face as I look at the Hokage. Lord Third looking at me with wide eyes and a fish mouth as he struggles with his words. Lastly, Frog Man flipping between Third and me.

"As I was saying," the Lord finally pushes out, his attention turning away from me again. "Minato's student has seemed to inherit his wife's... personality." The word is painfully obvious to be a cover-up. It makes a happy smirk sit on my face. Kushina would be proud... I think. "On the plus side, it seems she did inherit Minato's drive for service too."

"Ya, no," I cut off, my previous smirk falling off my face. "I'm not willing to die for this village, much less you." I take it back, I'm not being difficult. Lord Third is a jerk and I just happen to treat him as one.

Once again silence falls over the room with stares filling it up. "So..." the white-haired man starts, "your S.O.S message was for this brat?" He asks, thumb pointed at me.

"I'm not a brat!" I bark back, arms crossing over my chest as I glare at the frog.

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Well, I've never met a not-brat that so openly insults the Hokage."

"Well I've never met a Hokage that pushes off his responsibilities to the point that his co-worker dies," I hiss out, teeth clenched hard enough that ripples of pain circle around my jaw.

A gasp falls from the anbu posted up at the door. The gasp is quickly followed by a deep, exhausted sigh from the old man behind the desk. "Y/N," Kage says slowly, eyes snapping closed and another sigh spilling from him. "I... please wait outside."

"And if I don't?"

"Out-" Lord Third yells before softening his tone, "-side, please."

I let my eyes slit, nails digging into my arms as I stare at the sorry excuse for a leader. "Don't be mad at me because Minato was a better Hokage in his short rein than you've been for the past handful of decades."

Lord Third's face scrunches up, his knuckles bumping against his desk a couple of times before he opens his eyes. "Please wait outside," he repeats, tone even and cold. I hit a nerve with that insult. Good, he deserves it. If Lord Third has no haters left, just know I'm buried six feet under.

I glare at the village leader for another beat before turning away. I waste no time weaseling out the door, anbu glare hot on heels.

I hate my nanny, I hate Lord Third, I hate the frog man, and I hate Minato for dying. How could he die? How could he leave Naruto with so much responsibility at the very start of his life? How could he leave his son alone in this world? How could he leave me all alone?

The tile of the floor is cold as I sink to it. My knees bump against my chest as I curl myself up into a small, hatred-filled ball. How much trouble would I get into for swinging on Lord Third?

The thought scares me a bit. I know the Shinobi life is filled with a lot of violence, a lot of sadness, a lot of death, but how could I have a thought like that? How could I so quickly jump to violence? Especially against a fellow Shinobi? The Hokage none-the-less?

The anger in my chest quickly bubbles over to sadness. I hate this month. It's the worst month of my whole life.

——————————————

That was... interesting. Sarutobi-Sensei wasn't kidding when he said the kid has the 'personality' of Kushina.

My eyes trail after the girl as she sulks out of the room, her anger filtering out with her. I've heard very little about her; nothing more than passing comments when my path would cross Minato's. Despite the small comments, he seemed quite proud of her. Well, she and Kakashi. All of his students, actually. Those two are the only ones still alive though.

"Okay, I get why the message was an S.O.S. but what do you expect me to do about... that?" I ask, turning my attention back to my Sensei.

It's hard to notice, but after all my years serving under him, I can pinpoint the proof of anger and sadness on his face. The little kunoichi mercilessly went cutthroat for the Lord. I will say, that was pretty ballsy of her. Not many - if any - Shinobi would be willing to insult the Kage to his face. Much less, such a young ninja.

"I don't know," my sensei finally says, tone soft and eyes pushed closed again. "I am just worried that..." another sigh is pushed out his nose. "Orochimaru has been spotted with the recent death of Lord Fourth. I cannot help but wonder if it has something to do with the... loss the village is grieving."

The small speech rolls around my head, not-so-good connections being made. "You think it has something to do with the kid - kids Minato left behind?"

"Well, we already know Orochimaru has a vendetta against Kakashi. I would not put it past him to go against Kakashi again. Or try to go after Naruto... or Y/N." Silence fills the space between us, Lord Third thinking over his next words. "I have faith that Kakashi would have the... means to deny any 'quick to power' situation Orochimaru would try to offer or to hold his own against him again if need be. Y/N... is filled with anger and hatred for me. My past student isn't above using that as a manipulation tactic."

I hate to admit it but that's the same conclusion I came to. I can't help but see it as a waste though. Is protecting this single student worth so much effort? Wouldn't my time be better spent doing literally anything else? "My Lord-"

"Just think about it Jiraiya. Get to know the girl. If you decide you're not willing to take her on, I'll..."

"You'll what?" I push slightly, my eyes turning back to the door.

"I'll have to pull her as a Shinobi. I cannot take the risk of Orochimaru having such an easy target. Even if my worse fears don't happen, I can't have a Shinobi with unchecked anger."

My eyes glance back to my sensei before settling on the exit again. This seems like a whole bunch of not my problem.

The room is filled with the sound of the Kage moving his chair and the soft sound of him sitting down. "It would be such a shame to lose her as a Shinobi. She might be a bit hot-headed, but she sure does possess your student's loyalty and spirit."

The words sting a bit, to the point I can understand the Kunoichi's rush to anger. I've done a good job avoiding the acknowledgment of Minato's death. I've done an even better job at refusing to process it.

"What's to come of his son?" I ask, using it as an excuse to further push the dread out of my thoughts.

"I'll take care of him for now. Naruto... will have a difficult life. One that I'm sure will lead him to you sooner or later. But, for now, Naruto does not need your guidance, Y/N does."

The bundled-up guilt trip doesn't work as well as I'm sure my sensei wishes it would. It still seems like a waste of time. You can have as much loyalty and spirit as you want but it won't make you a good or useful Shinobi.

"Give it a week Jiraiya. Get to know the girl how you wish, but at least give her a chance before you chalk her up as a dead end."

That guilt trip didn't work either. At the very least, I was given an order so I'll obey it. I don't know what my sensei thinks a week will change. A short-tempered, anger-riddled Shinobi has no place as an active-duty ninja. She would serve the village much better after being pulled from the Shinobi rankings.

"As you wish," I mumble before following the kunoichi's previous path. Sometimes I don't know what goes through my Sensei's head.

——————————————

What a waste of time is all I can think of as I walk down one of the roads of the village. The Lord has insisted I visit the village nursery to 'at least meet Naruto'. I don't have time for a student, let alone a baby. Despite that, I'm not one to deny an order. Which is why I'm huffily walking to the nursery with a pass gently tapping against my chest.

When the nursery comes into view, I'm a lot less mad about being ordered to make a stop. The two ladies at the desk are a sight for sore eyes, and my eyes are definitely sore. I take my time walking in front of the nursery, using this chance to soak in their beauty through the giant windows.

"Welcome in!" The blonde one says once the bell above the door rings. "Who are you here to pick up?"

"You, hopefully," I answer a little too eagerly.

That doesn't work how I want it to. Her cheery smile falls as the redhead behind the desk chuckles a little. "Don't pay the Sannin any mind," the redhead says, standing up and walking around the desk. She squeezes the blonde's shoulder and whispers something in her ear. Ms Blondie groans before walking away. I would be pretty upset with her leaving if the sight of her walking away wasn't so nice.

"Jiraiya," Ms Red-Head calls, pulling me from the beautiful curves of Ms Blondie. Again, I'm not too upset, the woman in front of me is nice to look at too. "My condolences for Lord Fourth," she says gently, face going soft with pity as she looks at me.

It's annoying having everyone in the village look at me like this. So what Minato died? It's part of the Shinobi life. Everybody knows that, including me. He died with honor, why would that upset me? I don't care about his death, he was just one of many students... maybe I care a little bit. Just a tad, if I care at all, which I don't.

"Thank you," I grumble, turning my focus away from the girl in front of me. All of a sudden she's not as beautiful as I thought she was.

Silence hangs in the air for a while before a screech is let out down the hallway. "What do you think you're doing?! You're making him upset! Give him back!" A voice calls anger and fear very evident in it.

"Is someone trying to steal a kid?" I ask, sparing a glance at Ms Redhead again.

She lets out a long, deep sigh before rubbing her temples. "No, Y/N gets a little... protective of Naruto when we try to separate them for any reason." The word any is stressed so heavily I almost feel bad for the nursery worker. It seems Minato's little kunoichi has been making problems for everyone.

"Give him back!" The whine comes again. A door slamming cuts off her next sentence but that doesn’t stop her little rant. "You're upsetting Naruto!" She isn't wrong about that, Minato's kid is screaming his lungs out.

The train wreck making its way down the hallway is a bit funny; the hot-headed Shinobi tugging on the worker as said worker tries to keep the baby out of reach. Kushina’s personality sure as hell is poking through.

“Fine! Take him!” The nursery worked says, her patience finally breaking.

Within seconds, the bundle of blanket and Minato’s legacy is pressed against Y/N’s chest, her hold soft but strong. Lulls and hums spill from her as she ogles over the baby, who does calm down.

My heart tings at the sight of stress evident on the older child’s face as she worries about Naruto. Sensei was right about Y/N being too attached. No, nope, I’m not getting attached now too. So what if Minato’s student stresses herself to death over his son? That’s not my problem. That’s her problem. Even if she is just a baby herself… a baby that lost another set of parents… which isn’t my problem. At all.

I turn on my heels, shoving the image of Y/N clinging to Naruto like a lifeline out of my head. I met Naruto, at least as well as Y/N will probably let me, so my assignment is complete. I tried, not my fault I failed.

——————————————

Between Sensei’s goose chase, villagers down my throat, and helping out with the smaller missions, I’ve had no time for my research.

Until today anyway. I managed to avoid Sensei so he couldn’t ‘accidentally’ guide me onto Y/N’s path. She’s getting suspicious that it’s not accidents anymore, so at least she has a bit of a brain behind her eyes.

I try not to let a smirk sit on my face as I walk into the bathhouse. The last thing I need is someone getting a bad feeling; I can’t get band from another hot spring. Especially one of the only mixed-gendered bathhouses still in the village. It saddens me a bit that it’s a swimsuit required spring but hey I’ll take a bathing suit and hot women over no women and nudity.

It was a blur, check-in, changing, and walking out to the spring. Not so much a blur now, but it is disappointing. There’s only one other person in the spring, their back facing me as I rinse off. Their head is tilted back, towel covers their face as most of them are dipped into the spring. Only the tops of their - bare - shoulders and random strains of hair are visible.

The person is tiny compared to me. Small frame, almost fragile looking. The idea of it being a child flickers through my head but is quickly ran off. It’s school hours so civilian children would be in class and the new shinobis should be busy with their sensei.

Once the water starts running cold, I turn it off and grab my towel. Even if there’s only one pretty lady to look at, I’m not letting my money go to waste. Plus, maybe they’ll be very pretty… or maybe it’s just a feminine guy.

I shake the idea out of my head as I approach the water. I take my time, tying my hair into a bun and looking over the other person. That is definitely a child, which makes me a pervert. Maybe Tsunade is right about my hormones getting the better of me. Once again, I shake my previous thoughts out of my head as my face scrunches up.

“Jiraiya, are you stalking me?” The hazy voice comes, sleep almost evident in it. What child is skipping out on their responsibilities to sleep at the hot springs?

“What?” I ask, arms dropping to my sides once my bun is set in place.

A pruning hand smoothly escapes the water, not even a ripple being made as it moves. I watch carefully as the little lady removes the towel from her face; being met with the features of an exhausted Y/N. What the hell? Is this some master plan of Sarutobi-Sensei?

“No,” I answer shortly, eyes jumping around her face. The stress is catching up to her, lines and dark circles already starting to form on her face. If Y/N keeps stressing herself out like this, her stress lines will be at Itachi’s level in no time.

The familiar ping is back. I hate to admit it but every time I’ve come across her, my heart has torn a bit more. I see Minato’s loyalty to the villagers, Kakashi’s kindness, Obito’s childishness, Rin’s undying love for everyone, and so many hardships. God damn it Sarutobi, why do you always have to be right? Just the thought of my sensei is pissing me off.

“Seems like it,” she mumbles, sliding her towel back over her face; this time only her eyes are covered.

“How’d you know it was me?” I ask, sparing her another glance before sinking into the water. I take my time, letting the water work around my muscles while making sure to keep space between myself and the child. The last thing I need is people calling me a pedo instead of a perv.

There’s a long hum before Y/N shifts some in the water, a bone or two creaking as she does so. “Before… everything, Minato started me on the basics of senjutsu. Mostly just sensing energies around me and such.”

Congrats Sensei, Minato is now at the top of my shit list. How could I leave this kid half trained on senjutsu? Especially with the threat of Orochimaru hanging in the air?

“I don’t think I’ve been around you enough for you to be able to pick out my chakra,” I push gently, hoping to find out how far her training had gone. Another hum but no answer follows it. Y/N is not going to let me have my way easily is she?

The space stays silent other than the natural noises of the spring. At that moment the girl across from me hasn’t moved, making me a bit worried she fell asleep. It’s not safe to sleep in a body of water, even if there is someone else around. She doesn’t trust me enough to sleep in such dangerous conditions… I don’t think.

When I go to move to check if Y/N is asleep, she finally breaks the silence. “You keep popping up because Lord Third is worried about Orochimaru, right? He’s worried if you don’t train me that I’ll turn to the snake sage to finish my training?”

I freeze in the middle of the spring, ripples stretching out without new ones following. “What makes you say that?” I ask carefully, eyes scanning the child in front of me. She’s covered in markings, bruises being the lesser and scares being the more decor. There’s a mix of scars, some still fresh and pink while others are a faded white color. Y/N definitely has put her time into the Shinobi world. Most notably the Nine-Tail attack that took her Sensei.

“I’m not dumb, Froggy Sage,” she hisses, head snapping up and towel being discarded from her face. “I know your fellow Sage didn’t like Minato and I’ve heard the whispers of him being sighted. If they’re true, Naruto, Kashi, or me are most likely his targets.”

I almost laugh at the nickname. I’ve never had someone call me Froggy before and I can’t tell if I like it or not. “Just, tell Lord Third to stop worrying. I have no interest in Orochimaru or any power trip he’ll try to manipulate me with. You can also let him know I won’t be mad at him forever too.”

My head spins with the thought of Y/N overhearing my conversation earlier this week. Does she mean it or is she just trying to play me?

I let my body sink back into the warm water, this time seated closer to the girl. “So… what’s the deal with Minato’s baby?” I’m getting tired of asking questions.

“He’s almost two months old so he doesn’t do much. He smiled for the first time the other day. The nursery says Naruto can hold up his head during tummy time now, which they say is good. I’m worried he’s a bit behind though. Keiko says I’m just anxious though.”

“Keiko?”

“The red-head you googled at the other day. She’s Naruto’s primary caregiver.”

I roll around Y/N’s answer for a second, even though that’s not what I meant. “What’s your deal with Naruto?”

Another hum, though this time the melody is different. “I just worry about him. I don’t want him to be alone in the world. Though, he has Lord Third and Kakashi too.”

“We will be traveling a lot so you’ll have to check your attachment.” What?! That’s the first answer that pops into my head? That’s what spills from my mouth?

I did not mean that. There is no ‘we’ just ‘me’. I travel a lot, Y/N stays here, in the village, with her anxious attachment to Minato’s son. How do I take that back? Do I say ‘just kidding’ and hope I get a minor reminder of Kushina’s anger issues?

“We?” Y/N asks, eyes sharp and guarded as she looks at me.

“Yes.”

No!

That is not the answer! The answer is no because there is no ‘we’. I do missions alone, I travel alone, and definitely do not travel with a child-aged girl. Do you know how much of a damper she’ll be on my women game? Or maybe she’ll help with it… no!

A huge smile cracks across her face, stress marks damping with her happiness. “You really mean it?”

“Yes.”

Maybe.

Her body loosens a bit as she moves closer, a good amount of space still between us but she’s still noticeably closer. “Is it pity training?” Y/N asks, a sad teasing tone to her words, and her smile all of a sudden seeming fake.

“No.”

The smile is back, huge, happy, and reaching her eyes this time. God damnit Minato, why did you have to have such skilled students? I can’t let their potential go to waste.

“This is going to be fun,” Y/N whispers to herself before crawling out of the hot springs. Her skin is a bit pink, making the faded scars stand out more.

“Yes,” I answer to myself, letting out a small huff. Why’d I let myself get attached? I don’t have time for a student, let alone the patience for one. And yet… I just signed myself up for the one that’s going to test my patience the most.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, Froggy,” Y/N says, patting my bun before turning around to walk away.

“I don’t like that nickname! It’s not sticking!” I call after her.

“Yes, it is!” She calls back before the door cuts off our conversation.

Yes.

It’s going to stick because I could hear the smile in her voice as she said it. “Screw you,” I mumble to the sky, smile on my face as I say it. I can imagine Minato laughing his ass off at the situation he left for me, the situation I talked myself into. I guess Minato won’t be the only unofficial child I have anymore.

Cold & warm

─ Kageyama Tobio x fem!reader

─ Summary: It's a cold winter night and you fiend your friend outside

─ Warnings: none

istg kags is to cute- 🫂

"Kageyama?"

You murmured looking straight ahead, the silence was such that even though your voice came out too low he could hear you perfectly, his back immediately straightened, getting nervous around you, he wasn't used to dealing with girls, and he still hadn't gotten used to your help when he was on the court, after all, at Kitawaga Daiichi he never had a manager, and even though you and Kiyoko were here, you were more accessible for the simple fact that it was also your first year at Karasuno, that didn't take away his nerves at having to talk to you.

He tried to approach you in a friendly way, because he needed friends, he wanted friends, he had big trust issues after what happened in his old volleyball team, although little by little he started to open up to everyone on the team, it was like run up too steep a hill with you. He was always so nervous next to you without knowing why, it bothered him a little not knowing his reasons but he pushed it aside, his eyes met yours, struggling not to look away as he felt his cheeks get warm.

"Kageyama? What are you doing here so late?"

He really didn't even know it, he just had the impulse to leave his house after losing the last match, as if all his energy had recovered, wanting to train, to run and scream with all his broken heart in the face of defeat. And he went running in the middle of the night until he got tired, arriving at this beautiful park where he decided to stop for a few minutes until you saw him.

"I-I just- don't know?"

You chuckled at his answer, of course, you assumed his reasons for being here because you came from accompanying an euphoric Hinata that you found training while rearranging the school gym, these two idiots were just as predictable, even though the loss put them off for the first few days, you knew they'd fire up again immediately.

"What am I going to do with you two? so careless"

"Two…?"

"Yeah, you and Hinata, rather, I think that all first years are something."

He winced at the mention of the shorter one, still a bit bitter from his last fight with Hinata. You rolled your eyes at his shameless action, noticing how mist came out of his mouth, not only because of the high temperatures in winter but also because of his run, you shook your head disapprovingly when you saw how little warm he was, you immediately removed the scarf that protected you from the cold, raising your arms up to pass it over the head of the opponent, who was left white as paper and still as a rock by your actions.

"There, there, how do you intend to try to win if you catch a cold and can't play?"

"Thank you…"

"Don't worry about that, come on, I'll walk you home."

“I-I'm supposed to do that!

"Yes, you said it yourself, you're supposed to, but as a manager and a friend, I feel obliged to take care of you until you feel well."

"But I'm not sick…? I feel good."

"I didn't mean- you know what? It doesn't matter, just let me take care of you."

You started walking smiling to yourself, a smile that disappeared when you noticed that the boy didn't move from his place, still trying to understand that you meant to take care of him emotionally and not because he was physically injured or sick, you sighed backing up, taking his hand, giving a jerk that made his mind begin to return to the real world. He melted under your touch, getting nervous to have your hand in his, he tightened his grip almost imperceptibly, you didn't take much importance to the gesture, it was something else that made you talk again.

"Your hands are very cold."

You stopped, just like the boy's heart when he saw you take your other hand to the one he already had clasped, you rubbed it a little with a frown in concentration, Kageyama watched in silence as your hands passed your heat making his cold lessen, without thinking, he smiled genuinely, moving his free hand to rest on top of yours, making a four-handed sandwich. You shared a laugh at how stupid you looked in the middle of the street doing that, both of you with your cheeks slightly tinted red.

"Okay, they are not so cold anymore."

You nodded, letting go of his hands, however before you could undo your grip he pressed his palm against yours more, you looked at him for a brief moment, both of you running away from the other's gaze with some embarrassment. You continued like this in silence until you got to his house, at the door he slowly undid his grip, scratching the back of his neck without knowing how to say goodbye, because he didn't want to. He was spending time with you and it was nice, not as awkward as he usually made it, but he couldn't keep you when it was so late, nor did he has the courage to invite you into his house.

"I guess we parted ways here."

"Y-yes."

Cursing himself for stuttering, avoiding your gaze, he fake-coughed, turning to walk to the driveway of his house, but before he could enter the path that led to the front door you tugged on his arm, he turned around in complete confusion, without time to react to what had happened.

"Good night Kageyama!"

You moved quickly, planting a small kiss on his cheek, running away with your heart pounding wildly against your ribcage, leaving the boy paper white again, his brain not taking in the information until his mother opened the door.

"Tobio honey, if you stay there you're going to end up with a cold, oh my god, even you're all red, come on, come on, get in."

"I'm fine mom!"

"Really? Well then, who was the girl who accompanied you?"

"N-nobody."

"And whose scarf is that? I don't remember you having any like it, you should give it back to your girlf-"

"MOM!"

He fled from the living room to his room, hiding half of his face in your scarf, he smelled the aroma emanating from it, turning beet red again thinking of you, he buried his face in his pillow, still with the scarf reminding him of your person, he inadvertently smile thinking that he was starting to warm up to you.

Wanted Cuddles ||

summary: cute first sleepover

pairing: Hinata Shouyou X Kageyama Tobio

genre: fluff

warnings: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Cuddling & Snuggling, Alpha Kageyama Tobio, Omega Hinata Shouyou, Romantic Fluff

Kageyama's POV

I waited nervously outside the Hinata's house this would be the first time I would be staying over at his house since we had started dating.

Knocking on the door I watched as his mother opened the door with Natsu his sister on her hip. "Ahh Kageyama it's always a pleasure to see you isn't that right Natsu." She cooed.

Turning her attention back to me she smiled. "Kageyama don't tell shouyou I said this but he's been nervous about you staying over so don't be surprised if there are any distressed pheromones around his room." She forewarned letting me inside the house and showing me the way to his room.

Making my way up the stairs I thought it was best to let him know I was there so I rapped on the door. "Momm I told you that we don't need any more snacks." He complained opening the door and pausing when he noticed I was there.

My voice got caught in my throat at the sight of him he looked like an angel. "Bakeyama bakeyama are you okay." He said worriedly moving closer to me.

"Boke of course I'm fine." I snapped at him instantly feeling bad at his confused face. "I'm sorry it's just... I'm really anxious." Which earned me a soft smile.

"Would you like to come inside the room?" He asked eagerly to which of course I said yes plonking myself down on his bed I just watched as he started rambling cutely about what he had planned. I really didn't mind what we did as long as it was with my mate.

Time Skip

We were now watching an anime series called 'Haikyuu' it was about volleyball which we both loved he had been solely focused on the series for ages but now we both were feeling tired. "Kags umm if you want you can sleep in my bed." Hinata piped up I was so excited I had been waiting for him to ask.

"Yeah sure that's okay," I said trying to act nonchalant

We began preparing to sleep getting ready I made my way to his bathroom. "C'mon Tobio you are going to be fine you guys are dating this should be normal now," I whispered psyching myself up then began making my way back.

"To not make this weird I should sleep on the right side and you on the left." Shouyou blushed and I agreed to lie down doing so I resisted the urge to cuddle him and willed myself to sleep to not make this any more awkward than it should be. I sighed to myself I hope as time goes on we will be more relaxed around each other.

The Next Morning

Hinata's POV

Letting out distressed pheromones I whimpered near his ear. “Sunshine what’s the matter are you okay?” Tobio said rambling as he suddenly woke. Tobio looked at the position we were in and immediately moved away.

Waking up from the best sleep I've ever had I tried to move away but I felt confined and hot rubbing my eyes I finally realized it wasn't chains that trapped me but just Tobio's hold on me. Knowing that I felt more comforted his scent gland was right next to me I couldn't resist getting a whiff I felt relaxed he smelt like mhmm.

Fresh Oceans with a hint of blackberries... delicious.

If I wasn't careful, I would go into heat leaving me with no choice but to move away but how was I supposed to wake him up? Sigh it looks like my pheromones were my only option.

“I’m sorry was it me I know I was supposed to stay on my side, but my alpha gets way too cuddly at night.” He rambled looking nervous I just giggled at his worry. “Tobio it's okay... I like your cuddles you were just holding me way too tight near your scent gland and I would have gone into heat.”

His face flashed with relief, so I leaned over and hugged him. “Tobio I’m glad you’re my Alpha would you like to continue cuddling me?” I smiled.

He blushed and nodded his head really fast he’s so cute I’m so glad this blueberry is my mate.

When her houseguest has outstayed his welcome, Sango is forced to find him a forever home.

And she knows just the miko for the dog....

Inu/Kag

Rating: T

This is the Inu/Kag companion piece to the wonderful MirSan short written by @violetasteria

Sango locked the door to the bathroom, breathing a sigh of relief. She was savoring this sweet moment of privacy--such moments were few and far between now that they had a long-term houseguest.

It wasn't that she minded helping Inuyasha out, she reminded herself as she removed her clothes and wrapped herself in a towel. It was just difficult since he was always there; it was like she had to tip-toe around her own home. She couldn't walk to the bathroom from the bedroom naked or get a three-in-the-morning glass of water in her underwear.

Not that she ever did those things, but she could have if she wanted to.

Of course, it had to be hard on Inuyasha as well. He was a private person, and now that he was living with them, he had nowhere to go to decompress. He was more snappish than usual, even though he was trying to control it, and he was keeping more and more in one room. In fact, he was hardly coming out when she and Miroku were there.

It couldn’t be for much longer. Surely his apartment would be finished soon.

She checked the temperature of the shower, then frowned when she noticed the water backing up in the tub. Of course, because that was exactly what she needed when she was trying to relax.

Cursing under her breath, she bent down to rummage under the sink for the snake. She stomped back over to the shower to jam the bendy strip of plastic down the drain. Giving it a few hard jabs, she felt it catch. Carefully she pulled it out, starting in confusion at the glimmering clump. What the.....it couldn't be.

It was.

“Dog hair,” she hissed.

That night at dinner, Inuyasha made a rare appearance at the table, and Sango had a hard time keeping her eyes off his hair. That gleaming, silver hair. That gleaming, long silver hair. Hair that was going to continue to infiltrate her drains, leaving her as the only one capable of removing the resulting clogs.

Inuyasha was looking particularly glum, pushing his rice from side to side on his plate.

“Bad day at work?” Miroku asked, after the fifth gusty sigh the hanyou released.

Inuyasha shook his head. He opened his mouth, closed it, then put his chopsticks down with a click.

“I got a call from the contractor today.”

Sango froze, a bite halfway to her mouth. That was not the tone of voice of someone who had been told he could move back in early.

“They've run into some problems. It's gonna be another month. At least.”

Miroku shot Sango a look of utter panic; he had been the one to sweet-talk her into letting Inuyasha stay. She was going to murder him.

Which was a shame because he was too young and sexy to die.

Sango stared vacantly ahead of her. No. This couldn't go on--just yesterday, she had forgotten he was home and nearly sat on him as he napped on the couch. Her home was being permeated by the scent of ramen.

It was time to rehome the puppy.

And she knew just the soft touch for the job.

Sango gave them a beatific smile as she stood, patting Inuyasha on the shoulder as she passed on her way to the sink.

“Don't worry, these things happen; I'm sure it will all work out.”

Inuyasha and Miroku shared a wide-eyed look, nervous sweat pricking their backs. They didn't know what was up with Sango, but it couldn't be good.

Kagome stretched to work out the kinks in her back; she probably shouldn't have tried to do a deep clean of the house so soon after she had moved in, but she was so excited to be on her own again. She had spent the last month and a half helping her great-aunt recover from a broken ankle. She was a sweet woman, but in her state of health, caring for her had almost been a full-time job.

It had been a shock when her aunt had chosen to stay with her sister-in-law and had offered Kagome the chance to rent her house back in the city for less than she had been spending on her apartment. Kagome had jumped at the chance and was now trying to adjust to being back in civilization with reliable wifi and cellular signals.

Which was why she nearly leaped out of her skin when her phone went off--and then discovered to her embarrassment, that she had almost forgotten how to answer the thing.

“Hey, Sango!” She smiled, having not been able to speak to her friend in a while.

“Kagome! You have no idea how good it is to hear from you! Have you gotten moved back into your apartment alright?”

Kagome looked around; while the house wasn't necessarily suited to her taste yet, it was nicer and more spacious than her apartment--and the plumbing was reliable, and no screaming neighbors to try to drown out.

“Nope!” She answered almost giddily. “My aunt is letting me rent her place from now on; I live in a house, Sango! With a yard! Where I can see green things growing without having to leave something in my fridge for too long!”

“That is absolutely perfect!” Sango squealed in delight.

Kagome removed her phone from her ear to stare at it. Why did Sango sound that excited? Was she missing something?

“Okay, I was going to give you a little more time before asking, but I really, really need you to do me a favor,” Sango continued.

Ah. That explained the excitement. Well, it wasn't like Sango ever really asked for much, so it couldn't be too bad, right?

“What do you need?” Kagome asked, drifting over to the window to look outside, absently wondering if she should invest in some patio furniture.

“Do you remember me telling you last time that Miroku had talked me into fostering a puppy?”

Warning! Danger! Danger! “Yeeeeeeessss, I recall that,” Kagome said, suspicion lacing every syllable.

“Well, it just isn't working out. He's bigger and a little older than Miroku led me to believe. He wouldn't do well in a shelter, and I would hate to see him go to a bad home....”

“It sounds like you're attached to him. Are you sure it won't work out with time?” Kagome asked, stalling for more of the same.

“I'm afraid not. Miroku and I just aren't home enough to really bond with him. He's lonely, and it's not really fair to him.”

Kagome frowned. “Is he really needy? Because I don't think--”

“No, not at all!” Sango said, panic creeping into her voice. It's not like he's destructive when he's left alone or anything. He just needs some socialization, or he gets a little grumpy.”

“So, is he a couch cuddler?” Kagome asked, already starting to feel herself wearing down.

“Ah. He's never cuddled with me--definitely not Miroku--but I think that's because he's one of those dogs that bond to one person, and neither of us is it.”

“I don't know....”

“Please, Kagome? He’d make a terrific guard dog, and he's surprisingly clean.”

“Does he bark a lot?”

“No, just grumbles a bit. I would even send a supply of food!”

“It's tempting, but I'm still not sure--”

“Inuyasha would want to come to visit him.”

That drew Kagome’s attention.

“Why? And if he likes the dog, why doesn't he keep him?”

“The apartment won't take him,” Sango smoothly replied, like a sleazy used car salesman sensing a deal is about to be clenched. “But Inuyasha is really attached to him. I'm sure that he would help you work on training and tricks if you asked.”

It was devious.

It was underhanded.

It....it was the only thing she had going for her, so she would take it.

“I suppose a dog wouldn't be a bad idea. When would be a good time to pick him up?”

“Tomorrow afternoon would be great! Any time after four. Oh, and Kagome? You'll need to bring a leash and collar. He outgrew the set I bought. Be sure to get red, so it matches his other accessories!”

Kagome opened her mouth, then shut it before the words could escape. She loved Sango, but she could be so odd.

“What size should I get? I have the feeling he's bigger than a toy poodle,” she said dryly, wondering exactly what sort of monstrosity she had signed herself up for.

“He's a large breed, but he's not heavy set,” Sango replied.

“Okay. I guess I'll be picking up a dog tomorrow. Wait, what is his name?”

Sango laughed. “Well, we’ve been calling him Mr. Fuzzy Pants, but I'm not sure you'll want to keep that or Grump Pup, which was the other option.”

Her nose scrunched at that. Ew. She would come up with something better.

Finishing up with Sango, Kagome sighed. It looked like she had better go through the house and start dog-proofing.

It was closer to six before Kagome arrived the next day, but getting to the pet store and dealing with its woeful lack of options had eaten up more time than she had anticipated. She slowed down to find a parking spot on the street, and as she slotted herself in place between two oversized vans, it struck her that this dog might not even fit in her car. No, surely Sango would have warned her before she tried to offload Clifford the Big Red Dog on her.

Maybe.

She was starting to kick herself for agreeing to this; the worst part was that Sango was able to manipulate her so easily just by mentioning Inuyasha. Her shoulders slumped at the thought. She had been carrying a torch for her friend for ages---something she thought might finally! Finally be reciprocated! She had felt like they had been dancing around this for a while, and that kiss at New Year's....well, you didn't kiss someone like that platonically. It might have even turned into more then and there had they not been interrupted.

Then the thing with her aunt happened and she wasn't able to stay in contact much and maybe it never mattered as much to him as it did to her anyway or he could have met someone else already, or--

“You’re here to get a dog, Kagome. Not have a mental breakdown on the street,” she growled at herself, angrily shutting off the ignition. She reached over to the passenger seat and grabbed the leash and collar set she had just bought. Both were bright red, and the leather collar had short blunt spikes. A little much, but they must have been in the middle of switching stock because the choices were abysmal. Still, she could always get a different one later.

Deciding to leave the passenger door unlocked so she would be able to load the dog easier, Kagome briskly walked to the half of the duplex that belonged to Sango and Miroku. She hadn't bothered to call since she was expected and figured that Sango would want her to come in at least long enough to discuss things like feeding and walking schedules.

She was halfway up the front walk when the door opened, and Inuyasha stepped out, looking surprisingly happy. In her shock, Kagome’s foot hit a crack, and she stumbled. As her hands were reaching forward to catch herself, a blur of white, black, and red filled her vision as Inuyasha grabbed her, having darted to her when he saw what was happening.

“Didn't learn to walk while you were away, did ya?” He snorted, setting her back on her feet.

“Well, you didn't learn to be nice, so I guess we’re even,” she said with a mock glare.

“Yeah, yeah. Are you ready to go? I was startin’ to worry that you weren't gonna make it,” he said, practically trotting to the door, a smile still on his face.

“I guess so. Is Sango not here?” Kagome asked, confused as to why Inuyasha was here rather than the people who actually, well, lived there.

“Nah, she and Miroku went to dinner an hour ago.” His eyes dropped down to the leash and collar still in her fist. An odd look passed over his face as his ears began to whip back and forth, and a faint tinge of red colored his cheeks.

“Uh, did you really feel the need for all of that?” he asked, gesturing at her hand.

Kagome looked at him blankly, then held them up. “This? Look, I realize it’s probably not what you would have chosen yourself, but it’s all they had. I can always pick up something different later.”

“Yeah, sure, I just...I was a little surprised that you had it at all.” He said, still eyeing the vivid leather with a strange sort of morbid fascination.

“You don't think it’s a good idea?”

Inuyasha shook himself before opening the door. “Anything is possible, I guess,” he muttered. Brightening, he let her follow him in as he went over to several suitcases and bags were sitting. Reaching down, he hefted up a flat of ramen. “Sango said she promised I would bring my own food, so I’ll start loadin’ up. You want this in the back seat or the trunk?”

Was she hallucinating?

Had she had a wreck on her way back home, and now she was in a coma?

“What?”

“What do you mean, what?”

“Where’s the dog food?” Was all she could think to ask.

Inuyasha scowled, his earlier joy completely gone. “Look, a joke’s a joke, but why the hell would I have dog food?”

“For the dog!” Kagome practically yelled, her frustration rapidly nearing its peak.

“What dog?” Inuyasha bellowed back, clearly intent on reaching the summit alongside her.

“The dog Sango is giving me!”

Inuyasha’s eyes bugged comically before slamming shut, the tendons in his throat looking like it would snap at any moment.

The room filled with a silence so combustible, it was in danger of igniting if either one so much as snapped their fingers.

“It's me. I’m the dog,” he bit out.

“W-what?” Kagome asked, her mind unable to catch up.

“Miroku convinced Sango to let me stay here while my place was bein’ renovated by tellin’ her I was a puppy,” he explained. “And I guess when Sango found out it was gonna be another month or more, she decided to play Pass the Pooch.”

“Oh?” It finally hit. “Oh!” She looked down at the sinister-looking items in her hand and immediately shoved them behind her back as if that could hide them. For fuck’s sake, why hadn’t she just slapped on six-inch heels and a matching leather bustier and been done with it?

“Inuyasha, I’m so sorry! I thought--”

“You thought you were gettin’ a cute puppy,” he said with a brittle smirk. “You weren't...you weren’t expectin’ me.” His shoulders drooped at that soft admission, and his ears wilted until they were curled at the edges.

The hamster in Kagome’s brain was galloping at break-neck speed on its wheel, spinning plates in each paw. He had thought she was here for him. It had made him happy. Now that she wasn't here for him, he was sad, and it was doing things to her.

“You wanted to move in with me?”

Inuyasha shrugged. “Yeah, well, don't worry about it. I’ll just go ahead and get a hotel room--”

“I’d rather have you than the dog.” Oh. Oh, that had gone much better in her head.

“It’s okay, Kagome. You don't have to feel bad or anything.”

He said this, but he was killing her with those wounded puppy eyes.

“No, seriously. I was only taking the dog as a favor. Although, I can understand if you don't want to.”

Inuyasha let the ramen drop to the floor, a testament to his state of mind. One hand remained clenched at his side while the other came up to rub the back of his neck. “Sango said--she said that you were interested in me comin’ over and that maybe we could work out this....thing. You know. Us. And....yeah.”

Okay, yes, she had expressed to Sango that she wanted Inuyasha to come to her house, so she hadn't technically been lying--she had just made a balloon animal out of the truth. But creative murder methods would have to wait because Inuyasha was there and adorable and had just admitted to wanting to work things out between them and maybe she could--

Maybe she could start with breathing. Yes. Passing out now would give the wrong impression.

“Sango said you would visit me if I took the dog. She said you were, um, attached to it.”

Slowly, his ears began to rise, the hopeful gleam returning to his eyes. “Yeah?”

Kagome nodded, her face taking on the same color as the collar and leash she had brought in front of her to twist between her hands. “Yeah. She said....oh crap. She said that you would help me with training and tricks.” With a dawning realization, she held up the collar and leash, her expression of horror matching that of Indiana Jones grabbing a handful of snakes. “She had me bring this for you!”

“Thought that was a little much, but I wasn't gonna say anything,” Inuyasha admitted, his lips twitching.

All Kagome could do was let out a mortified gurgle.

“Look, if the offer is still open, why don't we just go ahead and leave? We can plan the double murder on the way,” Inuyasha offered, taking pity on her.

With a nod, she grabbed one of his bags in her free hand and turned to go back to the car. “Put the ramen in the back seat, so it doesn't get crushed,” she called over her shoulder.

“A woman after my own stomach,” Inuyasha answered, gathering up the rest of his stuff, balancing far more than a human could manage.

Kagome got in the car, tossing the collar and leash to the back so she could return it to the store later. As Inuyasha settled into the seat beside her and shut the door, she let out a giggle.

“What’s so funny?”

She grinned as she started up the car. “I was just thinking how glad I am now that I didn't bring the roll of poop bags.”

Inuyasha threw his head against the back of the seat rest, laughing until he cried.

The rest of the drive was much more relaxed, and things were feeling more normal between them by the time Kagome pulled up to her house. “Just to warn you, this house is owned by an older woman who seems to have been trapped in the eighties. I haven't had a chance to do anything with the place yet.”

Inuyasha got out of the car, peering around the property; it was an old neighborhood with the houses placed a considerable amount of space apart, and from the looks of it, no home looked to be owned by anyone under their sixties.

“It’s fuckin’ perfect after the hellhole I live in,” he said, thinking of the cramped, noisy apartment he had been staying in until he could find someplace that wouldn't abuse his ears. “You got a squirrel problem, though,” he growled, glaring at the rodent that was darting across the roof.

Kagome had to bite her lip at the way he was poised to give chase but didn't comment.

Helping him carry in his belongings, Kagome showed him to one of the spare rooms--luckily, her aunt had kept one up just in case she had visitors.

“Wow. I think this room alone is bigger than my room, the bathroom, and part of the main room,” Inuyasha said, staring wistfully out the window at the backyard.

“How tight is your lease? There’s plenty of room here, and we could split the rent,” Kagome blurted, then wondered if she had gone too far.

He turned to face her, the amber of his irises darkening as he watched her intently. Slowly, he crossed the room to stand in front of her, close enough for her to feel the warmth from his body.

“I think we have somethin’ more important to talk about first,” he said, his voice a low rumble that had the hair on the back of her neck prickling deliciously.

“We do?” She asked, although she wasn't fully aware of what she was saying--she was just stringing words together to keep him near.

“Sounds like you need a reminder,” he said before his hands fell to her waist, and he dipped his head to capture her lips.

Kagome sighed into his mouth, her hands coming up to tangle in the thick, silver hair that streamed down his back. This. This is how it had been at New Year’s. The energy thrumming between them, the almost painful sensation of passion getting ready to ignite. As Inuyasha slowly pulled away, Kagome realized part of her lightheadedness was due to the fact that she couldn't breathe. She would be embarrassed if he didn't look just as affected.

“I think I’m starting to remember,” she murmured, her fingernails scraping over the back of his neck.

“Thought you might,” Inuyasha chuckled, his expression soft as he gazed at her fondly.

Kagome’s mind was fuzzy, filled with pink cotton candy clouds of happiness. It gave her the courage to speak what was on her heart. “So, where do you want this to go, Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha still held her loosely by the waist, his thumbs stroking under her t-shirt, claws slightly tickling the skin. “Let me check about my lease, and I’ll have both answers for you tomorrow,” he finally said with a small smile.

Oh no. He was putting her off. She had flown too close to the sun, and all she could smell was burning tar and feathers as she plummeted to the ground.

“Oh! Of course, it’s a big decision, so take all the time you need. I mean, there’s no rush or anything; I didn't mean to imply that you had to--”

“Hey. Breathe.” He said before kissing her softly, his lips brushing over her in a gentle motion. “Don’t go overthinkin’ shit. Just trust me, okay?”

Kagome nodded. Surely he wouldn't keep kissing her if he was going to turn her down. Inuyasha was grumpy but not cruel. “Tomorrow, then,” she affirmed.

Inuyasha was starting to pull away, and Kagome, not wanting to miss an opportunity, yanked him back, stretching up on her tiptoes. If she was going to have to wait for an answer, she wanted something to get her through to tomorrow. As she pressed herself firmly against him, Inuyasha gave a pleased growl, returning the kiss with enthusiasm.

When Kagome finally had to come up for air, she found that Inuyasha was smirking at her. “Are you tryin’ to influence my decision, Ka-Go-Me?”

She blushed but didn't try to deny it. “Every little bit helps.”

“Tomorrow. I promise. In the meantime, I don't know about you, but I haven't eaten yet, and I’m starvin’.”

Deciding she could use the distraction, Kagome led him to the kitchen in search of a meal. A tiny smile curved her lips; she couldn't wait for tomorrow.

He was gone. She had woken early, dressed in a cute skirt and sleeveless top, and he was gone. His room was empty, as were the bathroom and kitchen. Kagome wanted to throw up; obviously, he had gotten cold feet and had fled during the night. Thoroughly depressed, she dragged herself into the kitchen to make herself some coffee before she had to slap on a smile and go to work. When she went to grab her creamer, she noticed that there was a note scribbled on the pad her aunt normally used for grocery lists.

Kagome

Had to go pick something up before work, so I left early. See you tonight.

Okay, maybe things weren't horrible. All she had to do was survive the day, and she would find out if she had a live-in boyfriend or a very awkward roommate. No pressure. Really.

Ten hours later, she stumbled through the door, completely exhausted. The universe had decided to spare her the agony of worrying about Inuyasha’s decision all day by making this one of the worst days at work, period. As if she didn't have enough to do with catching up with things after her leave of absence, her boss had sent her no less than twenty-six things she expected to be done ASAP. And then there was the phone. Somehow, their number had gotten mixed up with the new restaurant down the block, and the phone had been ringing off the hook all day with people wanting to make reservations or ask questions about the menu. And none of them wanted to believe her when she informed them that they had the wrong number.

As she opened the front door, she heard faint sounds coming from the television. Clearly, Inuyasha was home. Now the only question was, did she want to beard the dog in his kennel or slink off to her room until her bad luck wore off? Since he could probably smell her, she chose the former.

She had expected to see little white dog ears poking over the top of the sofa, but she was wrong; if it weren't for the crunching sound, she would have looked for him in a different part of the house. Instead, she came around the corner and stopped dead in her tracks. There, on her aunt’s plump cream and pastel splashed sofa, was Inuyasha, stretched out full length and lazily reaching into a bag of potato chips that rested on the floor.

This would not be remarkable, except for two things.

The only item of clothing he was wearing was a pair of red boxers with....yes, those were little white bones.

As enticing as that sight would normally be, Kagome’s full attention was centered above the waist--specifically, his neck.

He was wearing the collar.

He. Was wearing. The fucking. Studded. Red. Collar.

And it now included a shiny round tag.

Inuyasha said nothing as she approached. He merely smirked and flicked at the tag with one claw. Shakily, Kagome bent down to read it. On the front was his name....but on the back....

Was her name, phone number, and the address of the house.

“Sango did say that I would find my forever home,” he said smugly.

“So this means....” Kagome asked hopefully.

His fang glimmered in the light filtering in through the window. “Yes to both questions, of course. Just wanted to make sure I could get outta my lease and get myself properly tagged.”

“Then I guess there’s only one thing left to do,” Kagome said, allowing the tag to slip from her fingers.
