attractive things they do ; haikyuu ver . ⋆˚࿔

bokuto ; doesnt know personal space or manners when it comes to you. will wave to you in the middle of a test if he sees you passing in the hallway, or will yell your name if he spots you in the cafeteria. doesn’t matter if you saw each other five minutes ago, he still greets you like you’ve been gone a year.

akaashi ; has crazy fast reflexes. despite not being as muscular as bokuto, he still never wavers whenever he catches something, as seen when he caught him after he fainted. you dont even notice you dropped something before he’s handing it back to you.

aone ; waits for you to finish talking. never cuts people off, even when they’re rambling or slow. he’ll just nod and look at you like everything you say matters. he also doesnt stutter, and takes his time to speak. you dont mind it when people stutter, but you convince yourself its because he wants to think out every word he says (to you).

futakuchi ; worst teaser to walk the earth. says “yeah? and what if i did?” and “are ya’ gonna do something about it.” more than he sees his own mother. never oversteps, and knows what specifically to not bring up, but he knows you’ll always do something about it.

koganegawa ; says everything out loud. narrates his entire life and lets people know how he’s thinking, or what he’s doing. you usually find this annoying when other people do it, but somehow hes just funny and oblivious enough for it to cancel out.

ukai ; always smells good. could smoke up a whole room and down a whole bottle of whisky in an afternoon and he’d still smell good. you can smell him even after he’s left a room, but sometimes you think its just a placebo effect. you notice whenever its missing.

takeda ; watches the credit scenes of a movie. will clap, and will talk to other people about it like its just another thing. when people ask why, he says its because ‘someone worked hard on this!’ applies to other things too, but something as small as this gets you everytime.

kiyoko ; remembers everything you say. not in a creepy way, just in a soft, careful way. the kind of person who brings up something you forgot you even told her. you’ll offhandedly mention your favorite flower and a week later she’ll give you one.

yachi ; double checks everything. did you bring your coat? do you have your wallet and keys? did you do the homework?  she’s on it. says “just in case!” with this big worried smile like she can’t help it.

alisa ; takes the best pictures. most of her pictures are candid, ones you think are ugly but she’ll cherish like its made of pure gold. she rarely asks you to pose for a picture, but she always makes sure you look good. you almost never notice when she has her camera out until she tags you in a post later that night.

akane ; always has two extra hair ties. you never notice, because she always has her hair up, until alisa asks for it and you ask her why she has so many. she doesnt answer you, but you find out its because no one ever had hairties strong enough to hold her hair properly, so she makes sure no one else has that problem. not that youlll ever let her know you know this, of course.

konoha ; mimics people without realizing. picks up their slang, their hand gestures, the way they write their &s and ?s. whenever someone brings it up, he pretends not to notice because he’s too embarrassed. 

terushima ; stupidly smart. you hate it, how he’s not a high honors student, but a highest honors student, and has been for years. you never see him study, never see him struggle, and never even hear him talk about school outside of class, but he’s never had anything lower than a 90 on anything.

daisho ; always knows what you mean. when you’re struggling with words, he knows exactly what youre going to say before you even think of it. you usually hate it when other people do it because theyre almost always wrong, but he somehow knows what you mean every single time.

sakusa ; walks on the outside of the sidewalk. doesnt care about the sidewalk rule, doesnt care if the person/people hes walking with are 10x stronger and bigger than him. doesnt mention it, does it naturally, and if you purposely switch it, he’ll switch it back without you even noticing.

komori ; makes a big deal about small wins. big believer in ‘a little is better than nothing’. even if its something as simple like doing your bed or doing the dishes, he’ll grin and congratulate you anyway.

“do you think i’m pretty?”

word count - 567 words

warnings - cringe couple activities (im so lonely) also i'm not sure abt some chars so i put question marks but these can fit any and all ur faves. lmk if i forgot anyone!!

a/n - back from the dead. school started up again and im depressed and i have so many exams next week but here i am procrastinating!! maybe one day i'll write something again but in the mean time have this (it's been marinating in my notes app for like 3 months by now)

“yeah, you’re cute. adorable, even...” 

he said with a million-watt smile, his fingers absentmindedly tracing shapes against your thigh. you raised an eyebrow, questioning his taste. right now, you were wearing his old pajama shirt and bottoms which were both faded and fraying at the hems. out of all the times to call you cute, did he really choose right now? 

he leaned in to kiss the tip of your nose lightly, his fingers making their way up to your hands from your legs. he held them in his own warm palms, and kissed the corner of your lips. “don’t give me that look,��� he whispered. “i think you’re the cutest wearing my clothes, y’know.” he kissed your cheek. “it makes me feel at home,” he said against your lips, and you couldn’t help but smile with him. something about his charm was infectious, and no matter how much you might doubt yourself, you knew he would always love you, tattered pajamas or not. 

hinata, bokuto, komori, yaku (demon senpai or not he definitely has a soft spot), aone, asahi, hanamaki, yamaguchi? aran? tendou? kenma? kageyama?

“beautiful. absolutely gorgeous,” he breathed.

your eyes widen, taken aback at the sincerity of his tone. a light flush couldn’t help but creep its way up onto your cheeks, and you look away, abashed. his fingers brushed against your cheek, tilting your face back at him. “why are you being so shy?” he questioned. “i mean it. truly. even the simplest things you do make me fall in love all over again.” his thumb rubbed soothing circles against your soft skin. "every time you fall asleep on my shoulder, every time you raise an eyebrow at me, and even right now when your cheeks are glowing pink make my heart stutter like we're on my first date," he said with a laugh. you could feel your cheeks burn aflame at his honesty, and couldn't help but look away. “quit blushing,” he teased. “i can’t focus when you’re looking so pretty like that.” 

akaashi, sugawara ("little shit") koushi, sakusa, the hirugami bros (acting like they don't have a combined word count of 20 in the entire series), iwa chan, daichi, semi, kita, ushijima?, tsukki?

“you’re pretty sexy.  hot, if i dare be promiscuous.” 

you roll your eyes at first, huffing through your nose and turning your attention back to your phone before he drags you back to his side. “i’m being serious,” he murmured into the side of your ear, his breath tickling your skin. “it goes beyond your looks, you know. it’s the way you walk, the way you carry yourself…the way you’re so confident in our relationship and in me,” he said, heartfelt. “that kind of unwavering confidence? unbelievably hot.” he leaned back, taking in your entire body. “also, you have a nice ass, which really helps.” he deserved the slap he got, but he couldn't help but grin at the sound of your giggles. he placed a chaste kiss against your temple, his hand looping around your waist again. "keep doing whatever you're doing. i'm in love with you, always. it's hard not to be when you're so irresistible," he whispered against your skin. 

kuroo, THE miya twins, meian, futakuchi, daishou, konoha (that legendary "nah, don't wanna" panel lives in my heart), oikawa, mattsun fs,  suna, noya, i would say tanaka but i don't want to be a homewrecker

note: written for that one request!!!

ʚ˚𓂃˖

Fuck.. it’s been only two days since I seen him and the team at reunion, but why is Konoha the only one running around my mind?

Pondering to yourself in frustration, your eyebrows are furrowed together trying to clear your mind. You’re laying in your sheets late at night, head filled with thoughts of his new look at the little reunion. He’s so much taller than before, with a more rich and thoughtful personality. Not to mention more attractive now than in highschool.

Back when you managed Fukurodani’s boys volleyball team, it was somewhat obvious that you had a small, or perhaps obvious crush, on their team’s wing spiker. You missed his short dirty blonde hair and narrow eyes whenever they peered back into yours. Something about him drew him to you.

Back at school, you couldn’t tell if you were a bit delusional, or if he genuinely had this liking to you. He’s more sweet and considerate towards you than the other manager, but that could be because he’s known her longer than you. His eyes would often soften when you see him staring at you while your heart flutters from behind the scenes. 

Biting your lip, you know you’re still not over him. Seeing him even for a little bit drove your mind crazy. I need to get out. Making this last minute decision as you fling your shirt off to put on a bra. Sliding down your pj pants as you head over to your closet.

You were gonna go clubbing. It’s one of the greatest places to get your intoxicated thoughts out by just dancing it off to some great music. Especially for meeting new people.

Throwing on a random cute dress you found off of a hanger in your closet, quickly you sat down at your petite vanity to apply some simple makeup to go along with your look. A spritz of perfume wafted through the air as you spun around in a small circle to collect the particles before you snatched your purse and keys to head out.

The lively music’s pulsating the whole building the moment you enter. It’s dark but lit up by colorful lasers, the dj set and people’s phone screens. To your surprise you saw a few familiar faces partying that night. Bokuto, Fukurodani’s captain, on the dance floor.. And Kuroo, his friend that graduated from Nekoma, hyping him up. 

You giggled behind a slight smile from the scene as you headed towards the counter for a few drinks before joining the crowd. Sitting down, the cold plastic seat sends you small tingles of shock as you adjust to the seat’s grooves. Mind still in the gutter, you tell the bartender to make you the strongest drink they have for you to sip on, if you even were in the mood to just sit and sip.

As the bartender’s doing all the cool tips and tricks concocting your drink. Measuring out the contents of alcohol with the silver double sided jigger to pour into the cocktail shaker. Swishing your head back, your eyes linger on the crowd trying to see if you’re able to spot out another familiar face. No one you knew appeared in your field of vision.

Until you saw in the back of the dimly lit corner.

It was that dirty blond with narrow eyes from Fukurodani. Konoha. What is he doing here? I’m at the only place I’m able to shake him out of my mind and he’s here! Cocking your head back towards your masterpiece of a drink, thanking the waiter before snatching it off the counter. 

You chugged it down. Your barely visible adam's apple moving up and down as you threw back all of the liquid that felt as if it was burning your nose. Placing the glass back down after hitting the chilled ice cubes against your front teeth before taking one deep breath in and out to sigh one last time before you hopped off the stool.

Your heels clicked and clacked with every step you took downwards. Your head started to fog up due to the strong liquor. The music starting to turn one with the atmosphere while your footsteps echoed in the back. You didn’t know where your body was taking you to but you had to keep up with the flow, leading you down to the dingy dark corner.

Before you got there, a girl beat you to him. She was conscious and her body language yearned to have him in her grasp. The closer you got, the more furious you grew, the anger fueling up in flames. You could tell that Konoha’s not having a fun time. He’s shaking his head in a timid way trying to brush her hand off of him while taking a few steps back.

“Konoha!!” you aggressively shouted, drawing attention to yourself. Your face is warming up to the liquor, feeling your body get all cozy as you vibed with the air in the atmosphere. The girl’s eyebrows gather in disgust as she looked you up and down. Konoha’s just relieved to see someone he knew, slightly surprised to see that you’d be the one he sees first.

“H-Hey babe!” Konoha’s rushing to your side, distancing himself from the woman. His hand is scratching the back of his neck in disguised fear, the other around on the side of your waist to draw you in closer. 

“Who are you and why are you talking to Konoha?” Konoha’s glancing at your face. He noticed how slurred your speech was while your face flushed a bright red hue under the colored lights. You’re staggering, pointing a finger at her while his big hand kept you stable.

“Don’t, wait… don’t talk to my Konoha!” shouting at her in fury. Konoha’s eyes lit up when he heard you call him yours. Mouth slightly parted to say something when you stumbled down.

Pulling you away from the girl while she stormed off in anger, he’s walking you to the nearest available table. Your head is throbbing and you can’t help but feel unstable and absolutely drunk. Foggy eyes started to focus when you tilted your head in his direction after sitting you down. 

Konoha’s worry beady eyes trace marks into your skin while your half lidded eyes groggily stare back. He’s shifting in worry seeing how drunk you’ve became, cursing under his breath before taking one deep breath to calm himself down.

His lips part once more, you can see him mouthing out words amongst the inaudible noise. You see that he’s saying words you had to squint out.

“I think I still like you.”

[konoha akinori] how you get together / dating headcanons

[author: chae]

a/n: KONOHA.

[fluff] [headcanon]

[konoha akinori x reader]

you're a second-year junior manager for the boys' volleyball team!

although you're always in the stands with one of the other managers during official matches, you're an important part of the team

your first interaction with konoha was in your first year when bokuto was having one of his moody episodes

you froze up and frantically turned to the nearest teammate for help, and konoha was a few feet away from you two

konoha, as a second year at the time and having been in the club with bokuto since first year, was already quite used to bokuto's episodes

in fact, you didn't even have to turn to konoha for help. he already felt the emo energy waves bokuto was emitting even while his back was turned from him

you saw a vein pop out of his forehead even though he was smiling

"manager-chan, do you mind stepping out for a minute?"

you stepped out for a few minutes, and you came back to a normal looking bokuto

(to this day, you still have no idea what konoha did to him)

you got along well with everyone on the team!

you two didn't get super close until the training camp

he would see that you were a bit intimidated by being around so many strangers and would try to comfort you by being closeby

because of this you may have developed a bit of a crush on him

he would sit with you during meal times if he sees you alone and he would help you clean up at night

on the day of the barbeque, you and the other managers cut up watermelon for everybody

you passed slices to everyone om your team

when you got to konoha his eyes gleamed with excitement

"thanks y/n-chan!"

after the training camp, it was back to normal practices with the team

your gave everyone a list of the things they need to improve on

when you got to konoha, you gave him a thumbs up

"doing great, but make sure you practice to commit these skills to memory, mister jack of all trades~"

"NOT YOU TOO Y/N-CHAN"

when you see each other in the hallways, there is always some sort of interaction

it started off as waves, then head pats

then you start to hang out a bit between practices

sometimes you study together, other times you go to a nearby bakery

on the day of his graduation, you go up to him with flowers

and he gives you the second button on his uniform jacket

YOU HAPPILY ACCEPT

he is your #1 supporter in everything you do!!!

once you start your third year, he sometimes waits for you by the school gates to pick you up for your dates :D

you run up to him and he catches you with the biggest smile and swings you around uwu

he shows up at volleyball practice sometimes to see how you and his other kouhais are doing (but mostly you)

during winter he def takes you to an ice skating rink and holds your hand the entire time

he definitely falls down with you when you lose balance

but you both laugh it off

you guys wouldn't trade moments like these for anything else <3

Pranking Bokuto ➣

genre: fluff, teeny tiny bit of angst; it’s like none at all

WORD COUNT: 1209

you and konoha had gotten back from school a couple hours ago just hanging out together. you both get bored and decided you should do something. as you both were thinking of something to do bokuto tweets out something. this leads you to your ‘amazing’ idea.

The orange rays from the sun gleamed down on you and Konoha.

You both had gotten home from school a couple of hours ago and decided to just have a chill hangout today.

You were cuddled into his side while Konoha was laying on his back. Looking over at what he was doing you sighed as you were getting a little bored.

"What's wrong baby?" Konoha said while looking over to you.

"I'm getting bored can we do something?"

"Hmm sure what did you have in mind?" he asked.

"Nothing really do you have anything in mind," you said.

Konoha turned off his phone and set it beside him as he thought of what the two of you should do.

You grabbed your phone and turned it on going onto twitter. Konoha looked at you once more and got a glance of your phone.

His eyes widened as his smile started to form thinking of a idea. This idea had sparked when he saw Bokuto's tweet on your phone.

"Angel I think I know what we can do," Konoha said smirking.

You turned your head to look at him while he was talking and saw his smirk. You didn't know if this was a good smirk or a bad one.

"Then let's hear this idea of yours."

Konoha smiled brightly thinking about how you would love this idea.

"So how about we prank Bokuto for a little bit?"

You eyes widened and shined a little bit brighter after hearing that. "Yes I love that idea! You're so cute when you think of a good idea."

You brought your hand up from your phone and pinched his nose slightly. He scrunched up his face making you giggle a bit.

"So how are we going to prank him then?" You asked.

"Well I was thinking what if we did something that involved volleyball and tweet it?"

"That seems good. What would we do though?"

With that said you both went quiet for a little while thinking of things you could say.

"OH I GOT IT," you yelled quietly.

"Okay let's hear it then." Konoha shifted his body so that he was no longer laying on his back and was now facing you.

His heart missed a few beats seeing you so happy about the idea you just thought of. He gave you a sweet smile before you explained what you were thinking of.

You took a deep breathe in and out before announcing your thought.

"What if we say something like every time a spike scores a point a kid trips and falls on his face."

You looked up to Konoha and saw his smile.

"What?" You asked smiling and laughing a little.

"It's nothing, but you look also look cute and adorable when you think of a good idea." he said back

"Hey who said anything about you being adorable?" you answered in a teasing tone.

"You're right. You're pretty ugly to be honest."

You took a breathe in and brought your hand to your heart acting like you got offended.

"Why would you ever say that," you said while wiping away your fake tears.

Konoha reached up to your face and tucked a piece of hair behind your ears. "Nah I'm lying you're too pretty for me to lie to you like that."

You felt butterflies in your stomach while your face started heating up.

"Sh-shut up idiot," you said while lightly hitting his arm.

"So are we gonna do the prank of what," Konoha said while sitting up and bringing you up with him to his side.

"YES!"

You both reached down and grabbed your phones.

"Do you wanna tweet it or do you want me to? Also we should @ him so he can see right away!"

The excitement in your voice made Konoha smile sweetly once more.

"I think you should tweet it and I will @ him in it."

"Okay I'm on it," you said while turning away to your phone.

Konoha watched as you typed out the words 'who knew every spike that scores make a child fall and hit their face on the ground? that's just awful for people to do.'

You pressed tweet as you looked up at Konoha to watch him next. Konoha grabbed his phone and refreshed twitter.

He then clicked on your name liking the tweet before pressing the comment button.

He typed '@thebestestacever did you know this?' and pressed reply.

You both looked at each other again before going back on your phones waiting for a response.

A minute or two later you still got no reply which was weird since Bokuto wasn't doing anything right now.

Konoha looked at his phone while the screen lit up from an incoming facetime call from Bokuto.

He tapped you lightly making you turn you head and saw the call that was on his phone. You laughed quietly before telling him to answer it.

He pressed accept only to hear sniffling on the end.

"P-please tell me the tw-tweet isnt true," he said while trying not to stutter while talking.

Konoha looked at you on what to do next. You both had expected him to be upset about it but not this upset. Before you two could even say anything another person grabbed the phone from Bokuto.

"Hi Konoha-san Bokuto believes this tweet is true and won't listen to me when I tell him it's a prank," Akaashi said.

You formed a frown on your face when you realized Bokuto was really hurt by this.

"Can you hand the phone back to him and tell him I want to talk to him?" You asked Akaashi.

"Sure thing."

Akaashi gave the phone back to Bokuto who is still crying a bit but not as much as before.

"Hi Bokuto."

"Hi," he said before sniffling again.

"I'm sorry for pranking you like that. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." You stated sincerely.

"Wait it's not real?" He asked.

"No, me and kohona were just bored so we decided to prank you. We didn't mean you any harm."

Before Bokuto said anything his haired straightened back up and his eyes lit up.

"Don't do that again," He grunted playfully.

"Okay we promise we won't, right Aki?"

You moved the phone so the camera showed you both. You both nodded at the same time.

"Well it was nice talking to you guys but me and Akaashi have a movie to finish," he said smiling brightly into the camera.

"Haha okay enjoy your movie both of you," Konoha said.

The noise of the video indicating that it had ended rung out. You tilted your head upwards to see Konoha letting out a sigh.

"Well that didn't turn out the way I expected it to. To be honest I didn't know how he was going to react."

"Yeah but that was a little funny you can't lie," you said.

"Hm yeah you're right. Wanna take a nap now?"

You smile and nodded your head yes. Konoha laid back down and brought you down too.

You placed your head on his shoulder and rested your arm on his chest. He brought his arm around to wrap around your waist.

You both closed your eyes slowly falling asleep as a comfortable silence filled the room.

You didn't talk much with Konoha Akinori. Not that you didn't want to, but it's more because of your clashing schedules. It's weird, considering the fact that you both share the same house, yet you can count with only two hands the number of times you have spoken to him.

Komi had been the one to introduce you to Konoha during your search for a house. 

"He could use a roommate or two to divide the house rent with," your friend grinned and you considered that it's not such a bad option. You had never met this Konoha guy before but if he's a best friend of Komi, you figured that he's gotta be a pretty decent person. 

And you were right. Well, sort of. You just assumed he was since you never had much interaction with him in the first place, even after 3 months of living together. You hate to admit it, but even after such a long time had passed, you barely knew anything about him besides his name. To say you two regarded each other as ghosts in your own house would sound like an overstatement, but it's sort of true.

With all that said, why was that Konoha Akinori holding your head against his chest, letting it rest there, while gently patting your back? 

Let me take you back to a few hours prior to this.

That week had been awful for you. Extremely awful. All you wanted to do after leaving your workplace was to curl up in your bed, and probably cry yourself to sleep. That’s all. But even dragging your body to your bedroom was too much of a work, so instead you settled on lying down on the living room sofa. Did you care that your housemate’s probably gonna see you in your miserable state out in the open? No, rather, you’d thought that he’s going to pretend like he didn’t see it. After all, it’s not as if you guys were close enough for him to inquire about your wellbeing.

You heard the creaking noise of your shared apartment’s door opening. Your face still buried deep into the sofa cushion, you ignored it. ‘He’s home much earlier today,’ you thought to yourself. As expected, you didn’t hear anything afterwards, and you assumed he’d made his way into his bedroom. But when you felt a presence sitting down beside the sofa, you came to the realisation that maybe your assumption had been wrong after all. 

A few seconds passed by with no words exchanged between you two. It made you think that maybe you were just imagining things and Konoha wasn’t really there besides you. Not too long after that however, he spoke up.

“Hey…are you alright?”

You could’ve just said yes and let him leave. You could’ve just made up an excuse on the spot, it’s really not that hard. Why would you need to confide in him when he’s just a stranger you’re sharing your living space with? But as soon as he asked that, a million different emotions washed over you in an instant. It’s a simple, and not to mention an overused question, but maybe that’s just what you needed at the moment. You couldn’t help the sob that escaped you. He wrapped his arms around your shaking figure, silently comforting you. At that moment, your soft weeping was the only thing echoing throughout the room.

And so, that was what led you to this point. He allowed your head to rest comfortably on his chest while he listened to whatever your problems had been. He was a good listener, and even offered encouraging words to help lift up your spirit. You never expected that, and you must admit that you were impressed. 

“Oh right, I almost forgot,” Konoha gently rose up from his seat after he was done talking, and it took all of your willpower to not stop him from leaving your side. Your eyes curiously followed him to the kitchen. He took out a tub of ice cream from the fridge, one that just happened to be your favourite flavour. After he took a couple of spoons from the cupboard, he made his way back to the living room where you were with a grin.   

“Thought this might help. It’s your favourite, right?”

You simply blinked at him, stunned. 

“How did you know that?”

“We’ve lived in the same apartment for months now, I think I would at least be able to notice this much,” his reply was nonchalant, but it made you feel a bit guilty since you never noticed anything about him. ‘Maybe he’s just really observant…or I’m the one who’s too ignorant of my own surroundings,’ you silently concluded. 

You took a spoonful of the ice cream, followed by Konoha, and could feel your heart lightening up just a little at the coolness of the dessert. Konoha began to reach for the tv remote and switched it on, going through a selection of shows that you both could enjoy together. You turned to him when a question popped up in your mind.

“I’ve never seen this one in the fridge before. Did you just buy it?”

He looked surprised by that question, and it took him a moment to reply to it. He coughed once, as if he’s trying to cover up his increasingly red cheeks.

“Well…yeah. Uh…It’s just…I noticed that this week you looked extremely tired. I thought that maybe buying you your favourite ice cream could help make you feel better so… I picked it up on my way home just now.” 

He looked away, embarrassed at his own confession. Either he’s really observant, just as you’d concluded earlier, or your fatigue and stress were that visible. Either way, you felt your heart swelled at his thoughtfulness. You choked back another sob before softly whispering a thank you. You weren’t sure whether he heard that or not, but from the corner of your eyes, you could see him turning his face back towards you and his hands softly placed atop your head.

A few more minutes passed by, and you could feel yourself calming down from the earlier outburst. With the ice cream tub in your hand and shoulder leaned against Konoha’s, you both continued to watch the show on the tv in silence, minus the occasional funny commentary you both gave towards the characters in the show. 

Despite the energy it took off of you for all that crying, your eyes didn’t feel quite sleepy yet. There was still something on your mind. You glanced at Konoha. He didn’t look like he’s about to fall asleep anytime soon either. 

“Hey, Konoha?”

“Hmm?”

“I’m..sorry.”

He looked at you with a puzzled look, so you continued.

“For burdening you with my problems even though we’ve barely even talked before. And speaking of that, I’m sorry for not trying harder to close the gap between us….even though we’re supposed to be housemates and all.”

Konoha looked contemplative for a moment before giving you a playful grin.

“If that’s the case, why don’t we start over then,” he replied with an outstretched hand.

“The name’s Konoha Akinori. I'm 24 years old and I work as an employee at a pharmaceutical company. I’ll be in your care from now on, roomie.”

You had to process his words for a moment before taking his outstretched hand in yours, shaking it.

“Same here…roomie.”

Your reply came with a grateful smile that graced your lips. It was the first time he’d seen that bright of a smile from you. He could feel the heavy weight in his chest lightening up. He'd been worried for you ever since he first noticed how distressed you were. Now that he finally saw the genuine smile on your face, he felt relief washed over his entire body and he found himself smiling alongside you.

"If anything ever gets too much for you, well…just know that I'm always here to help. Don’t shoulder them all by yourself.”

He ruffled your hair, messing it up even more than it already was, before standing up from the sofa.

“You should go to bed. It’s late already,” he suggested, eyes still on you. You were about to nod at his suggestion when he grinned cheekily. 

“Or if you’re having trouble sleeping, I can help lull you to sleep.”

‘...this little shit.’

You narrowed your eyes at him and racked your brain to come up with a snarky comeback. You stopped yourself when you came to a sudden conclusion.

“Sure.”

“What?”

“I’d love for you to sing me a lullaby. I do wonder what kind of angelic voice you have.”

It was your turn to tease him and his eyebrows squeezed together into a frown. He turned his face away from you, but you could still see his slightly red ears. You then made your way into your bedroom, with Konoha silently following behind you.

It’s funny now that you think about it. Just a few months ago, you were struggling to hold a proper conversation with him. But now, after properly talking to him for the first time for only a couple hours, you could easily tease each other like you’ve known each other your whole life. Talking with Konoha wasn't as stifling as you had feared. The reason you were able to talk to him so casually was also thanks to him making the flow of the conversation so natural. At that moment, you genuinely admired your housemate as the man that he is.

You climbed up onto your bed while Konoha took a nearby chair in your room and placed it at your bedside.

“So you’re actually going to sing me a lullaby?”

“Shaddup.”

He gently slapped a hand on your face, covering your eyes, before heaving a sigh and started singing. It was a gentle tune, and paired with his voice, it didn’t take you long to fall into a deep slumber. 

Once he saw your steady breathing, he stopped and took his hand off of your face. With his chin resting on his palm, he stared absentmindedly at your sleeping figure.

‘Did I just earn myself a housemate or a kid to babysit?’ He wondered to himself, gently scoffing at his own question. Right before he walked himself out of your room, he turned his head one last time and smiled.

“Sweet dreams, y/n.”

cherry chapstick

god love the person that invented moisturiser, the days are getting colder and there is no way you would survive without it, the same with lip balm. the only problem is that you always put lotion on your hands first, leaving you unable to open the chapstick you so dearly need. to which you are left with no choice but to ask your loving boyfriend for help.

“babe, i can’t open my lip balm” you shout from another room, and its not like he isn’t used to helping you take the lid off of it, seeing as this is the fourth time this has happened today.

his footsteps become clearer and before you know it your door is swung open with your slightly annoyed looking boyfriend standing there, although his face isn’t just portraying annoyance, there is a small smirk that would most likely go unnoticed by anyone else, but you know him too well to look over it.

he’s up to something.

“what was that baby? i couldn’t quite hear.”

“i cant open my chapstick, can you do it for me?”

“whats the magic word?” he questions etching closer to you.

“just open the chapstick.”

“nu-uh,” he’s leaning dangerously close to you now, his face is only a few centimetres away from yours, but you know this is part of his plan. you can’t fall into his trap, not today.

“pretty please baby?” a smile grows wider on his annoying little face as he grabs the tube from your hand and takes the cap off, “thankyou, i’ve been trying to open it for a while now.”

reaching your hands up to grab it, your confused as he starts to pull his away, taking your reliever with him.

“oh i bet you think you’re just so funny don’t you?”

“absolutely.” he says lifting your chapstick to his lips, and not only that, but using it too.

“what the fuck, i need that, you cant just—“ your words are cut short at the feeling of his large hand grabbing both sides of your face at once, slightly squishing your cheeks together before bringing you into a passionate kiss. your eyes grow wide - mirroring the grin on his face - as his start to close, before you can get into it he starts to pull away.

“huh, cherry? thats a new one.” he’s starting to walk towards the door now, right before turning to look you in the eyes once more.

“oh and if you need me again, just give me a shout.” he states with a cheeky wink before walking out and closing the door.

and so you are left in the same position as before, only with softer lips and a slightly prominent blush growing on your face.

this boy is gonna be the death of you.

Tailor Konoha is something so very important to me

-

“Darling,” you sing as you waltz into the shop looking for its owner. Konoha Akinori, tailor extraordinaire, appears behind the counter at astounding speed. It’s only for you, he’s said before. Usually, he hides behind the counter for a solid moment to gather his wits before greeting his customers.

“Hi,” he says. “What’s going on?”

You pout playfully at him. “I want new clothes.”

It’s really impossible, the thrill that runs through him when he hears that you’re here to place a commission. He’s already sorting through his templates, considering what would best fit you, best flatter you, best show the world what he has that no one else can touch.

“Oh really? Tell me more.”

“You know how winter is coming up?”

He hums. A dark color then. Maybe a maroon?

“I was thinking I wanted a new coat.”

Yes, yes, a new -

Slowly, he drops the folder of lingerie templates. Damn them. Damn that Akaashi and Bokuto. Sure, they’re his most loyal customers, but they really made him forget he doesn’t exclusively make lingerie. Always in here commissioning new pieces for their girls.

“A new coat,” he repeats, closing that drawer and opening another one. “Tell me more. A long coat? Or cropped? How many pockets? What color?”

Why can’t he find his templates? When did this drawer become significantly emptier than the one he just closed? Oh my god, those two are ruining him.

“I think a long one,” you tell him, oblivious to his inner turmoil. “And matching with yours.”

“Matching?” He parrots.

“Yes, love. You know the one I like. I want one kind of like it.”

“Can I sew hearts on the pockets?” He asks without thinking. Anything to get his mind off the last piece he did, meant for Akaashi’s anniversary. You would’ve looked good in it too, he’s sure, because what don’t you look good in?

Amused, you say, “Sure. Just sew them on your own too.”

He hums again. God, he’s really going to have to ask this, huh?

“Babe, can I do another one for you too?”

You tip your head curiously. “I mean, I won’t say no. What are you thinking?”

He can’t do it. He can’t look you in the eyes and say he wants to make you custom lingerie, not when you’ve come in here with such an innocent request like a winter coat. “Uh…”

“Konoha?”

“Yeah?”

“You spaced out on me.”

“Uh… yeah.”

“Everything okay? Should I come back another time?”

“No, no.”

“So…”

“I’ll see you at home. I’ll tell you later.” He leans over the counter to plant a kiss on your cheek. “Have a good day, love.”

“Sure thing. Love you.”

“Love you too.”

He’s so dead. He needs you out of this shop now before he combusts with the ideas running through his head.

Akaashi’s name goes on his hit list. That man is so dead next time Konoha sees him.

[heich0e]

u get it

Konoha can’t help it when he sees your sweet and still sleepy expression, nipples poking through your thin shirt, his hands are already twitching at his sides and his sweatpants feel tight when you stretch your neck and roll your shoulders back…..he just wants to cup your chest for a bit but of course it quickly turns into more because he’s just that good at getting you all hot n bothered hhh

(hope it s okay for me to thirst like this in ur inbox hehe)

gray this literally made me SPIRAL he is just so ... !!!

(also ofc it's ok to thirst like this but i hope what happened as a result is also ok)

sunday kind of love konoha akinori/f!reader (haikyuu!!) tags: fluff, fondling, sleepy easy mornings with The Best Boy, konoha simping while also being a bit of a perv (affectionate) a/n: inspired by gray's ORIGINAL TEXT POST + big beautiful brain, and the song sunday kinda love by etta james

There will always be a demand for pharmaceuticals.

There will always be sick people who need to be treated, soothed, or even healed by the marvels of modern medicine.

Konoha Akinori likes his job—but more than that, he likes to think there’s value in the work he does.

He travels the length of the country to meet with doctors, surgeons, and specialists whose patients his company’s formulas may be of use to, and talk them through their benefits and uses; he attends conferences where other companies gather to present their newest developments; and speaks at events as a promising up-and-coming member of the industry—all in an effort to ensure the medicines the researchers at his company have worked tirelessly to perfect make it into the hands of those who need them most.

The only thing he doesn’t like about his work is that it keeps him away from home.

His hours are long through the week, Monday to Friday: commuting in the early morning to make it to his office, and often stuck in meetings or on business calls until the late hours of the evening. He even works the occasional Saturday, or finds himself travelling back from business trips on that day of the week. Monday to Saturday, there's always something to do: a report to read, a sale to close, a call to make, or a train to catch.

But Sundays? Those days are for you.

For this.

“I’m making crepes, but we were out of milk.”

Konoha shuffles into the sun-soaked kitchen of the tiny Tokyo apartment the two of you share, one hand shoved under his sweatshirt to scratch at his tummy where the skin is still warm from the bed he’s just rolled out of. He spots you at the stove, adding another scoop of batter into the pan in front of you—listening to the sizzle as you spread it across the hot surface with a careful tilt of the handle.

“I used some soy milk from the fridge instead,” you say, your voice still a little dozy. Akinori notices the way your hair is mussed at the crown of your head, and resists the urge to laugh—you must have only just woken up as well.

Cute.

His slippers scuffle along the floor as he creeps up behind you, peeking over your shoulder at what you’re cooking, before pressing a little kiss to your temple as he settles himself against your frame.

“Will that work?” he asks, his voice still raspy from the sleep he’d just roused from.

You hum, and he’s not sure if it’s in response to his question or a reaction to his hands tracing lazily up and down your sides.

“I think if we put enough fruit and whipped cream on them they should be edible.” You let out a little laugh, leaning back into him and his touch a little further.

Konoha chuckles, dropping his face into the crook of your neck and pressing a kiss to the point of your pulse. His eyes can’t help but notice two peaks beneath the material of your oversized t-shirt—his t-shirt once, though it inarguably suits you better—the material worn thin from years of wear. It leaves little to the imagination as to what rests just beneath.

His hands move up and up, under the hem of your sleep shirt and to the plush, yielding flesh of your chest, drawn there as if by their own will.

“Aki,” you breathe the familiar nickname through a giggle, carefully flipping the crepe in front of you even as he fondles you beneath your top. It makes a satisfying sound as it turns in the pan—crackling through the quiet warmth of your home.

This time it's him who hums as he kneads into your skin, one large hand cupped around each breast. He pushes them together underneath your shirt, brushing his thumbs across the peaks he can feel pebbling under his touch. He has no agenda, not really—he just likes to hold you, be close to you, as often as he can.

“I’m cooking,” you say weakly, but you only lean back a little further into him—press a little firmer into the stiffness you feel tightening his sweatpants.

“Don’t burn yourself, then,” he replies easily, his fingers pinching—thumb and forefinger pressing tight together on each hand—around your nipples.

You let out a weak mewl that makes Akinori’s knees feel like jelly, repeating the motion in hopes of hearing the sweet sound again. He plants hot, open-mouthed kisses all along your throat as he keeps his fingers and hands otherwise occupied.

“What about your coffee?” he breathes into the smooth skin of your throat after a while, rolling his hips forward to grind gently against the curve of your ass. Konoha drinks his black, but he knows you prefer yours sweet and lightened. “You’ll need milk for it. Can’t use soy for that.”

He brushes his nose through your hair, dragging his teeth along the the shell of your ear, watching how you shiver when he purses his lips together and blows softly against it.

“I could run to the store and go get some for you,” he says, voice tight with fondness and a lilt of teasing he never seems to shake.

You turn in his arms so quickly it takes him aback, his hands slipping out from under your shirt—the crepe in the pan in front of you all but forgotten.

“Don’t you dare leave,” you say breathlessly, clutching the material of his sweatshirt in tightly balled fists as you stare up at him imploringly.

Now that he can see your face, he sees just how flustered you are—how your lips are ruddy and swollen from the way you’ve been gnawing on them, how your cheeks are flushing sweetly—and how all lingering traces of your sleepiness have been overwritten.

He smiles, leaning forward to brush his mouth against yours. It’s barely even a kiss, but you dissolve into it like the sugar you take in your coffee all the same.

“Don’t worry,” he says once he pulls away.

You’re still clinging to his sweatshirt, lips still pursed like you’re not yet ready to be parted, and your eyes slowly flutter open to lift towards his curiously.

He cups your face in his hands, grinning down at you.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

A Secret Admirer - Konoha x f!reader; frienemies to lovers; fluff; manga spoilers; 1.4k

For @messingupyea and for @hinatawa's Valentine's Day collab.

The envelope in your shoe locker causes you to giggle once again. You've never had something like this happen to you. It made up for all your rejected chocolates from previous years.

You almost crash into your locker as an arm wraps around your shoulder, almost in a headlock. You groan. You know exactly who it is.

You jab an elbow into his gut and he hunches over in pain. "Oy!" Konoha says. "You didn't have to do it that hard."

You shrug. He should've expected it. He knows you well enough over these past few years.

The envelope leans on the inside wall of your locker. You pick it up and shove it in his face, dangling it between your fingers to taunt him.

"Ha! Look!" you say with a smug grin. "Still think I can't get a boyfriend?"

A smile tugs on his lips causing you to raise a brow. That wasn't the expression you expected. He quickly changes it into a scowl. "Yeah, yeah," he says, waving you off. "That's not a big deal."

You frown a little, wishing he'd show a hint of jealousy. Ever since the Nationals, things have been… weird. You shouldn't have gotten your hopes up.

Konoha opens his locker and lifts his hand to get his shoes. He's defenseless.

You jab his side.

"Tsk. Cut it out!"

You stick your tongue out as Sarukui and Komi walk behind you, watching the two of you bicker.

"There they go again," says Komi.

"Ten bucks they're going to get together today," Sarukui laughs.

Your arms go stiff, flinching at their comments. Your classmates love to tease the two of you. You click your tongue as you sit on the bench to put on your shoes.

It wasn't your fault you were both late on the first day of high school. It wasn't your fault when you held his arm during the three-legged race. And it certainly wasn't your fault when the teacher made you two read out Romeo and Juliet's lines. These things and more fueled your classmates' comments and you both got annoyed each time.

However, somewhere along the way, amidst all of your bickering, you became friends. Maybe. You weren't exactly sure.

You didn't know what to make of your relationship after he saw you crying at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. That was embarrassing.

Konoha lifts his left foot to slip on his shoe. You click your tongue, annoyed he didn't give a different reaction to your card. At least its words made you feel a bit better.

You open the envelope for the second time today, rereading the heart-felt confession to you. "Why did he have to type it?" you mumble to yourself. "Did he think I'd recognize his handwriting?"

Slam.

Konoha groans, his hands covering the top of his head with his locker's door hanging above him.

"Is he okay?" you wonder, eyes growing wide. Konoha rubs his head, clicks his tongue and slams his locker's door. "Yeah, he's fine."

You grab your other shoe. "Careful," you tell him. "You can't afford to lose any more brain cells."

Konoha leans on the locker with his forearm on the door. "Are you sure this guy is even interested in you?" he retorts. "He didn't even bother to put his name."

"He's probably just shy," you say. "Haven't you thought about that?"

Konoha puts on his other shoe and packs his backpack. He ignores you.

You click your tongue, annoyed he didn't care. You look at the card and your lips draw back into a mischievous smile.

"Dear Y/n," you announce, holding the card out in front of you. "I–"

"What are you doing?" Konoha says with a scowl.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

His brows crease, grimacing as he places a few books in his bag.

"Dear Y/n. I have always–"

Konoha fumbles to put you in another headlock, but this time he covers your mouth. "Stop it!" he hisses. "It's embarrassing."

You elbow his stomach once again and he lets go from the pain. You clear your throat, about to recite the card once more and Konoha swipes it away from you.

He darts down the hallway, dodging the basketball team, a group of girls and a teacher. You chase after him, mirroring his movements, about to catch him.

He turns back to see you right at his heels until you finally trip over your shoelaces.

You don't hit the ground.

"You idiot," Konoha groans after catching you. "If you're going to chase me, at least do it properly."

"Give it back." You swipe the card out of his hands, scowling when it's all crumpled up. "Konoha, you ruined it!" You sulk on the floor, attempting to smooth out the creases but a fold stretches from one corner of the card to the other. When were you ever going to get another letter from a secret admirer?

"Ugh, it wasn't supposed to go like this," he says.

"What?"

"I'll just get you another one. Would that make you feel better?"

"Why would that make me feel better? Do you really think you can just replace it like that–"

"I wrote it."

"What?" You blink a couple of times before you pick up the crumpled paper off the floor. Your heart began to race. "Why would you write this?"

"I didn't want to see you sad on Valentine's Day again," he says, rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding your gaze.

He knew about your previous rejections. You complained it was because everyone always paired you with him.

"Oh." You stare at the words you read over and over this morning. Your lips turn downwards. "That's it?"

He ruffles his hair and bites his lip. Without replying, he gets up and starts to walk away.

"So you pitied me?" you ask. He turns around and his brows are creased. "I guess I…" Your eyes fall to the ground. "I should throw this out."

He returns to your side and covers the hand holding the card. "Please don't throw it out."

"Why?"

"Because they're real. My feelings for you are real."

Your heart beats faster but you pull your hand away from him. "Why didn't you put your name in it?" you ask.

"I didn't want you to feel pressured to go out with me," he sighs. "Things are already bad enough with our classmates teasing us all the time."

He's staring at you, his gentleness revealed in his gaze. You lower your eyes. "Were you ever going to tell me?" you ask softly.

"I was going to ask you out after we graduated," he replies. "Well... That was the plan."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

You rub your arm and Konoha assumes your silence is rejection. He covers your hand once more. "Don't throw it out," he says. "At least, not in front of me."

He fixes a piece of your hair that got disheveled from the fall before turning away to leave.

"Why did you think I cried after you lost?" you tell him.

You cried like an idiot. You knew how hard the team worked, how hard Konoha worked. It was so embarrassing when he was the one who comforted you when it should've been the other way around. He was simply thankful to play on centre court.

"I wanted you to win," you say, biting your lip. "Because I like you too."

His eyes grow wide and his cheeks turn red. You never imagined this was how the Valentine's Day of your third year of high school would go. Somehow, through all your rejections and failed attempts with Valentine's chocolates, he had always been by your side.

Your heart skips a beat as you lift the card to your chest. He wrote that he was in love with you these past three years. You take a peek at him as he scratches his head, unsure what to do with himself.

"Y/n, would you–"

A classroom door slides open.

"Did you ask her out?" Bokuto beams with stars in his eyes.

You both turn to him, taken aback by his teammate's sudden interruption. Annoyance grows in you both by the second.

You clench your fist. "Bokuto…" you hiss through your teeth as Konoha lunges over to kick his butt.

I hope you liked it. Here's the masterlist to the collab and my taglist form if anyone it's interested. You can also check out my other fics.
