Pleasant Surprise - tendo x reader

Summary: He's used to girls trying to get through him to get to Ushiwaka. He knows no girl actually wants to be with him or get to know him. None of the gifts he receives are ever actually for him. Until you approach him one day after practice.

Warnings/notes: insecurity, speculation, rudeness, but, tbh not that much, short reader (shorter than Tendo). Chat I literally wrote all of day two and left to find a divider AND TURNS OUT EVERYTHING DELETED SO I HAD TO REWRITE THE WHOLE THING 😆😆😆😆😆

Day one

Practice was finally over.

Tendo loved it. It was another good day for him and the team.

What he didn't quite loves was-

"E-excuse me?" A tiny feminine voice to his left.

"Can I help you?" He answered, almost rudely. He knew what was to come, especially with the way you held the small, neatly wrapped gift box in between your hands.

"I'm really sorry to bother you, Tendo.." You began, shyly looking up at the taller male.

Tendo almost rolled his eyes. He wanted to just tell you to go away. He couldn't take it anymore. He just wanted to go home, but here you were, a cute girl saying his name with the sweetest voice trying to use him to get to his buddy.

It would be nice not to be looked over for once. Not only was it annoying to have to go through this nearly every day but painful, too. You were so cute and pretty. He recalled seeing you around and watching their practice several times.

"I made this for you. I was wondering if you'd accept it?" The girl brought her arms up higher, showing off the tiny box to the volleyball player.

"Listen-" Tendo almost answered in his usual way, telling girls to just go away because Ushiwaka didn't want their gifts anyway but then he realized what you said.

A gift for him? This was new. You wanted to earn his trust and get close to him just so he could introduce you to Ushiwaka. Didn't you?

Figures.

"U-um, you don't have to.. if you don't want to." You spoke up after Tendo was quiet for some time, thinking.

"Is it for me?" He wondered.

"Yes! It's for you! I made this just for you, Tendo."

Before he could say anything, you decided to keep speaking your mind, making sure he understood the extent of your purpose for being in front of him today.

"I've been coming to watch you practice for some time now.. you're amazing. You're so tall and a great blocker! I can tell you enjoy playing the game very much.. you always have a smile on your face when you play. And I enjoy watching you..very much as well."

Tendo was stunned, to say the least. You spoke without even looking at him. What you said didn't sound rehearsed or bogusly put together.

He wasn't sure what to say or do. He didn't know if he was convinced either.

"I took the time to learn that you really like chocolate too.. so that's why I made it for you. It took me a while to get the recipe right, but I did it just for you.. so I would really appreciate it if you could accept my hard work." You stared at the floor, face flushed and embarrassed, arms stretched out. You couldn't believe you poured nearly your whole heart out to him when he hadn't even said more than one word to you.

"Um.. okay. Thank you very much. I'll make sure to have these later." Tendo took the small box from your pretty hands. He had never been in a situation like this before - he hoped his answer wasn't too blunt or that he made you feel dumb for being here.

"Please! Let me know if you like them! Or if you dont.. I'd be very happy to make more for you!" You bowed quickly before speeding off in the opposite direction, cheeks burning.

You really hopped you hadn't said too much.

Tendo watched you walk away, cocking his head slightly to the his right, puzzled.

Could it be that you really did make it for him because you wanted to give it to him?

Could it be true that you really had been watching him and not Ushiwaka?

"Damn. That girl was really nervous." He hears Semi from his left speak.

"Aw man! You're so lucky, Tendo! She was cute.." Goshiki gushes from his right.

"Yeah, she was.."

Day two

The next day, Tendo walked the halls with the knowledge that somewhere in the same building, there was a girl who made the best chocolates he's ever had.

He hardly thought of anything else since he popped one of the treats into his mouth the night prior. He couldn't believe something so delicious could be made. And just for him nonetheless.

He hoped your words were truthful. He hoped he would see you again that afternoon so he could thank you.

Tendo made his way toward the gym, where he would be partaking in the usual practice routine.

When he arrived and was fully changed into his gym clothes, he made sure to warm up with his teammates.

He stretched and received a few balls, making sure to keep an eye out for you.

The redhead made sure to glance over at the students' section every so often.

Tendo was quite disillusioned to find you nowhere to be seen.

An hour into practice, he figured you just weren't coming. He had been tricked, hadn't he.

Oh well.

There's no way a girl like you would seriously be into him.

He decided to go on as if nothing had happened, as per usual. He continued giving it his all during practice as was expected from him.

.

.

.

Tendo exited the changing room, having his regular school uniform on now. He could hear his younger teammates messing about in the room behind him while he bent down low, grabbing his shows and placing them in front of himself.

"Tendo." He hears the firm, stoic voice of his best buddy call out.

"Hey! Wakaaa!" The lankier boy teased with the nickname, looking off in Ushijima's direction whilst putting his left shoe on.

"There was a girl looking for you." The barely taller male spoke.

"A girl?" Tendo repeated, moving on to his right shoe.

"I thought she was gonna ask me for my autograph. Instead, she asked me about you." Ushiwaka informed, with his usual straight face.

Tendo straightened up his body, finishing up with his shoes he turned his full attention to his friend.

"Where is she?" The redhead asked, picturing your shaky figure holding out the gift he enjoyed so much.

Ushiwaka shrugged.

"She was outside the gym, last time I saw her."

Tendo thanked his friend and quickly made his way back to the gym, hoping he hadn't missed you.

He was relieved to find you curiously standing about right outside the gym.

"Excuse me?" He spoke, stepping to you.

You quickly turn around to meet the boy, your hair whipping the air from the speed.

"Tendo!" You spoke, surprised.

"I'm shocked, I didn't think I'd see you again or have the chance to thank you for those chocolates." Tendo teased, reffering to your absence earlier.

He watched your face twist into guilt.

"I am only able to see you when my club activities end early. I'm so sorry! Did you like the gift then..?" You ramble, apologetically, your cheeks flushing.

Tendo suddenly found it increasingly difficult to hide how flattered he is by your presence.

You took the time to come see him after your own club activities and even asked Ushiwaka about him. And the way you messed with your uniform nervously as you spoke was adorable in his eyes.

"Like it? I loved it!! I've never had anything so good before." His face warmed up.

"Really?? It was a family recipe.. I barely learned it, so I'm glad you enjoyed them!" You gave another sweet smile, almost as sweet as the treats the boy had last night.

"You'll have to teach me that recipe some time, cause seriously, I've never had anything like that before!" He gushed, hoping he didn't sound too enthusiastic.

You blush at his compliments.

"So.. do you enjoy making sweets too, Tendo?" You wonder, hoping the two of you might find something in common, it would be beneficial to keep the conversation going which you hoped would happen.

"Actually, I've never baked or anything like that. But, if it's possible to make something that good, I'd like to learn it."

You were happy that he took such interest in you. You honestly hadn't expected it. You were just some girl after all. It warmed your heart and the tips of your ears.

"By the way, you were looking for me? Ushiwaka told me."

Again, your cheeks flushed and you stiffened up.

"Well, I wanted to see you! I am a fan of yours, you know!" You laughed awkwardly admitting you truly did just want to see him.

Tendo's cheeks warmed further equal to yours now.

You wanted to see him? His fan? A pretty girl?

Could words be ever more flattering? Could you make him any more embarrassed? He seriously couldn't believe it.

You really called yourself his fan.

"Oh, wow. I didn't know I had such a beautiful fan." He sputtered, relieved that he hadn't stuttered. He almost missed your expression after those words.

Your face dropped, and he could see the visible pink hue that coated your pretty cheeks.

"I-Well, you know, I mean.. you're awesome and like also super! And beautiful.. too.." Your eyes widened from your own words. How could one stumble over themselves so damn much?

You internally beat the shit out of yourself. There's no way you didn't totally just blow it.

You almost missed how his eyes widened, too, and he blushed. Tendo looked as if you could eat him right up right then and there.

"Jeez.. you really came here just to flatter me." Tendo couldn't ignore the fact that no one had ever called him beautiful before. You were the first. And damn, it was a really nice feeling.

He couldn't believe it. This had to be a dream.

You couldn't really reply after how badly you stuttered you were surely traumatized from the embarrassment.

"So, how about that recipe?"

The boy eased your nerves by not turning away or insinuating that he disliked you. He wouldn't anyway. No way in a million years would he walk away.

You smiled, taking a deep breath to calm yourself before continuing the conversation.

You gave him a social media account of your choosing so he could contact you.

Tendo asked about your club, and the two of you spoke of your many interests. He even walked with you to your bus stop.

You found that the two of you didn't have much in common, but his interest in your hobby of baking and making sweets just might change that.

It might even create a duo of married chocolatiers.

Shiratorizawa boys at the swimming pool: headcanons

in my sleep-deprived state (as is the norm), i have humbly brought forth some headcanons about the shiratorizawa boys at the swimming pool. pls enjoy

Ushijima loves to swim but he absolutely hates the in-between stage of getting out of the pool and getting dressed so he only tends to get in the pool when it's hot out and he knows he'll dry quickly

When Ushijima does swim, he's the one to focus immediately on doing laps around the pool (he has yet to find out that you don't have to do laps. But he loves doing it anyways)

Tendou can't swim. Like, at all. He also strangely can't float in the water. This makes it a very fun time for him to mess with people in the pool by pretending he's dead when lying face-down in the water

This is not a fun time for Leon who now acts as designated lifeguard because of the one time Tendou pretended to be dead in the water and actually began to drown

Tendou is forced to wear floating devices when he's in the pool. He unironically loves these because he can choose the gaudiest colours and designs to match his swimsuit

Leon also makes all of the boys wear sunscreen if they swim anywhere in the sun

Semi sits on the edge of the pool and refuses to get his hair wet/get in cold water until Tendou splashes him. Then it's an all out war of splashing and trying to grab each other in the water until both Leon and the actual lifeguard on duty tells them to stop

Leon was gifted a whistle on his birthday once from the other boys and he actually loves it. He doesn't wear it at the pool out of respect for the lifeguards but it's proudly displayed on his shelf at home

Whenever Ushijima takes breaks from doing laps, Tendou always steals the opportunity to climb onto him: his back, his legs, anything he can grab. Ushijima let's this happen because he wants Tendou to rest and not overexert himself in the pool

Tendou gets goggles to grab people's ankles in the pool. Like a terrifying gremlin.

Goshiki tries to copy Ushijima's laps in the pool but sometimes forgets he can't stand up in the deepest section and will start to drown (another reason Leon keeps watch) (Ushijima never notices the drowning)

Shirabu likes to take it easy in his swimming and will actively avoid swimming anywhere close to anyone else

Yamagata gets told off for running around the pool every. Single. Time. Doesn't matter what he's doing, running or not. He thinks lifeguards have a personal vendetta against him

Tendou and Goshiki always get put in the baby pool at least once in their swimming outings because they never know when to quit and end up tiring themselves out. Ushijima puts himself here of his own accord, unsure why the others are there.

Leon is the only character competent enough to be allowed to use the diving boards

This, of course, does not stop Semi and Tendou from trying to dive into the pool

Goshiki is really good at finding lost objects at the bottom of the pool by accident

Semi regularly chokes on the pool water, adding to his desire to never swim if he can help it. He also trips a lot on the floor and scrapes his feet/bangs into the pool walls

Taichi is really good at holding his breath and will disappear for long stretches of time underwater. The others have no idea what he's doing down there.

Yamagata always manages to find a ball to throw around in the pool and drags other people into playing with it

Shirabu and Taichi always play mermaids at some point whilst swimming. They have a silent agreement and do it so subtly nobody has ever caught on

Semi is really good at doing handstands in the water when he actually gets into the pool

Yamagata will beg anyone he can to throw him into the pool and tries to push people in. (Lifeguards watch him like a hawk. Ergo the vendetta.)

The entire team is genuinely embarrassing in the pool, I can't emphasise enough how embarrassing they are. Most of the other people swimming there find it endearing though

Taichi will touch the others when they least expect it, freaking them out in silent amusement from his underwater antics. Everyone hates this and are always on their guard

When Ushijima finds out he can spike balls in the pool is the day the team get kicked out of the swimming centre

Characters who refuse to pee in the pool: Ushijima, Leon, Taichi

Characters who pee in the pool as a desperate last effort after debating internally for a while: Tendou, Shirabu, Goshiki, Yamagata

Characters who vehemently protest peeing in the pool whilst actively peeing: Semi

Tendou: cackling like a maniac at random shit

Taichi: you think this guy sleeps? He’s the same

Semi: pissier like a cat that got wet

Shirabu: will angrily glare at anything and everyone

Goshiki: struggling to function but coping

Reon: sucks it up and takes accountability cause he’s tired on his account

Soekawa: Power Nap at lunch

Hayato: complaining about being tired but still gets through the day, however he’s somehow more energetic and it appears he’s lost it

Stuck with you (semi x GN reader)

As the diligent manager of Shiratorizawa’s volleyball team, you’re used to handling chaos — but nothing quite prepares you for Semi Eita’s relentless teasing. When a minor injury pulls you closer together, you finally ask the question that’s been lingering between you. Semi’s answer? Way more honest (and heart-flipping) than you ever expected. Featuring meddling teammates, unexpected confessions, and a whole lot of flustered firsts.

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

“You're really something, you know that?” Semi muttered, wincing slightly as you dabbed a cotton pad over the scrape on his forearm.

Practice had been brutal today. Shiratorizawa didn’t play lightly, even during training, and Semi had taken a nasty dive to save a ball. It wasn’t serious, but you still fussed over him the moment practice ended, dragging him into the club room with a first-aid kit in hand.

“Hold still,” you said, brows furrowing in concentration as you tried not to hurt him.

Semi grinned, leaning back just slightly in his chair. “Bossy today, aren't you, Manager?”

You rolled your eyes but kept working. “You wouldn’t be hurt if you didn’t play recklessly.”

“Reckless? Please.” He let out a soft laugh. “I looked cool saving that ball.”

“You looked like an idiot throwing yourself across the court with no backup.”

Semi smirked. There it was—that easy banter he loved having with you. It was effortless, natural, and lately, he found himself seeking it out more and more.

You pressed the bandage down over his scrape carefully. He hissed, and you immediately pulled your hands back.

“Sorry!” you said, looking alarmed.

Semi snorted. “You’re way too soft. I’m not made of glass, you know.”

“Still. It probably hurts,” you murmured, going back to gently smoothing down the edges of the bandage.

His eyes caught on your expression — the way you focused so intently, lips pressed together in concentration. His heart gave an annoyingly hard thud against his ribs.

Without thinking, he grinned wider and said, “You gonna kiss it better, too?”

You froze for half a second, glancing up at him, eyes wide with surprise. Semi laughed at your reaction, the sound rumbling low in his chest.

“You're unbelievable,” you said, cheeks heating up. You busied yourself packing up the kit, pretending you weren’t flustered.

“Hey, you’re the one babying me.” Semi leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. “Not my fault if I take full advantage.”

You huffed out a breath and shook your head, trying not to smile. His teasing was relentless. Always had been. From the moment you became manager, Semi had made it his personal mission to poke fun at you every chance he got.

Finally, as you clicked the first-aid kit closed, you blurted out, “Why do you tease me so much, anyway?”

The room went still.

You glanced up to find Semi staring at you, eyebrows slightly raised like you’d just asked the most ridiculous question he’d ever heard.

“…You’re serious?” he said after a beat.

You nodded, confused by his sudden shift in mood. “Yeah. I mean, you’re not like this with the others. Just me.”

Semi stared at you for another long moment, visibly trying to process your obliviousness. Then he let out a short laugh, running a hand through his hair, ruffling the messy strands.

“You really don’t get it, huh?”

You tilted your head slightly, puzzled.

He stood up, towering over you just slightly, and for once, there was no teasing in his voice—just honesty.

“I like you, you idiot.”

You blinked, stunned.

He laughed again, softer this time, a little embarrassed but too stubborn to take the words back.

“I tease you because you’re fun. Because you’re cute when you get flustered. Because it’s the only way I can get your attention without making a complete fool out of myself.”

You opened your mouth to reply, but nothing came out at first.

Semi watched you, the usual cocky smirk lingering at the corner of his mouth but his eyes searching yours, waiting.

Finally, you managed a shaky breath and said, “Oh.”

He chuckled. “Yeah. ‘Oh.’” His voice was teasing again, but there was a softness there that made your chest squeeze.

Slowly, you smiled, feeling your heart hammering against your ribs.

“You’re still an idiot for diving like that,” you said, trying to hide your flustered smile behind sarcasm.

Semi grinned. “Maybe. But at least now I know you’ll patch me up after, right?”

You laughed, shaking your head. “Yeah. Always.”

And this time, when Semi bumped his shoulder lightly against yours, you didn’t shy away — you leaned right back.

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

Just as you and Semi shared a quiet, lingering smile, the door to the club room creaked open.

“Ooh~ What’s this?” came Tendou’s unmistakable sing-song voice.

You practically jumped a foot in the air, and Semi groaned under his breath, already anticipating the incoming chaos.

Tendou leaned dramatically against the doorframe, a wide grin stretching across his face. Behind him, Ushijima stood silent as ever, watching with his usual unreadable expression.

“Semi, are you finally confessing your undying love to our dear manager?” Tendou cooed, clasping his hands together like it was the most romantic thing he’d ever seen.

“Mind your business,” Semi muttered, scowling, though the tips of his ears were visibly pink.

You, meanwhile, felt your face burning hot, scrambling to think of anything to say that would make the situation less embarrassing.

“It’s about time,” Tendou continued mercilessly, strolling into the room. “Honestly, I was starting to wonder if I needed to lock you two in here together to speed things up.”

Ushijima, standing behind him like a silent pillar, nodded once. “That would have been effective.”

You gawked at both of them. “You—what—?!”

Semi buried his face in one hand, grumbling, “I’m gonna kill him.”

Tendou just laughed, clapping Semi on the back hard enough to make him stumble. “Relax, Romeo. We’re happy for you!” He turned to you with a wink. “Take care of our grumpy setter, will you?”

You nodded stiffly, still feeling like your brain had short-circuited.

Semi dropped his hand and shot you a sideways glance, his scowl softening just slightly. Despite the teasing, he didn’t seem embarrassed to be caught — if anything, he looked... relieved.

“Don’t worry,” he said, smirking again in that familiar, cocky way, “they’re stuck with me now.”

Tendou cackled. Ushijima simply nodded again in agreement.

And even though your heart was still racing, you couldn’t help but smile.

Maybe being stuck with Semi wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

[haikyuu-incorrectquotes]

Ushijima: How are we looking?

Tendō: Sexy, but not like we’re trying too hard.

Tendō: Like, sure, we’re trying but it’s almost effortless.

Ushijima: I mean in the game.

Rewatched hq recently! Big shout out to these girls - managing this bunch of crows cannot be easy, bird or human.

I tried to apply the logic of "what if they were the animals" to other teams but their dynamics are so different? I illustrated my discord musings on it though. behold:

[clawsdevour]

damp

wc: 0.3k content warning: timeskip, established relationship, timeskip, ushijima x reader, smut, not proofread, i miss ushi

ׄ 𓂂 ઇ⠀⠀⠀ ׅ

everytime ushijima hops out of the bath, you can't help but stare as he leaves the door open for that whiff of cool air to ventilate in.

the water clings onto your boyfriend's body, making his chiseled torso shine and highlighting every muscle in his being. your eyes drool with satisfaction before your shyness creeps upon your face before looking away hoping to not get caught. course, your eyes always find a way to return on his huge stature.

the water beads lay softly on the curves and small peculiar areas of his damp, soft skin. he's drying his short head of hair, leaning over the sink to take a good look in the mirror wondering if he needs to shave or not.

ushijima's defined back muscles make you feral. like crazy. all you can think of is decorating it with your marks that show everyone that he's yours. the thought of your legs over his shoulders make you smirk with excitement.

you can't help but think of everything you want to do to him, it's just something about the way ushijima looks right out of the shower that keeps you on your tippy toes to which he doesn't even know how good he straight up looks.

all you wanna do is have ushijima in your arms as his built body's on top, almost like he's suffocating all the air out of your lungs. you want all his weight on you while he stuffs you full of his hot essence.. wanting to see it drip down your folds as if he's marking you.

just wild thoughts, you think to yourself. eyes still watching his every move while the light reflects every muscle as his arms continue to ruffle his hair with the wet towel.

you need his arms to hold you tight while he pounds his size into you deeply and slowly. the need to feel him moving inside you repeatedly makes your intimate area drip with just the thought of him shirtless.

though, the show's over when he slips on his loose tee. the moment he faces you is the moment you gotta look busy..

You Can now request

Guys I thought I had my ask button on this whole time I had this account and today it came to my attention that it was in fact not on. So, I fixed it now so you are now able to request something if you would like! Also, if something else needs to be fixed please let me know. Now I hope you all have lovely day or night.

[cosmic-evening]

whenever anyone in his volleyball team teases USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI about his relationship, he laughs it off.

it's quite easy for him to act cool about it — the man was the absolute pinnacle of nonchalance. in fact, back in high school, most of shiratorizawa hadn't even seen him smile.

but oh, if only they could see him now, behind the door of your shared apartment.

after volleyball training, ushijima always skips the team dinners and comes straight home.

straight home to you.

you could be doing anything, even the most mundane tasks like folding laundry, and he'd still come and find you as soon as he walks in the door. he likes nothing more than to sit and help you with chores while listening to you talk about your day.

and when you're done, the two of you curl up on the couch to watch a rom-com — but to be honest, he's not really paying a lot of attention to the movie. he's more watching you, the way your eyes widen slightly when something unexpected happens, or the way your eyes crinkle in laughter in response to the movie.

it's strange, really — if any of his volleyball teammates knew he skipped team dinners to watch rom-coms with you, they wouldn't believe him. yet here you are.

and if he steals a kiss at the end of the movie, no one has to know except the two of you.
