Haikyuu x reader

Playing video games with his s/o: animal crossing New horizons (it's a wholesome game 💐)

Local nerd spoils you from the beginning of the game, like, you're there trying your best to collect materials and this guy... Visits your island and drops rare items, expensive clothes, gold and an insane amount of tickets, he even gives you photos of other residents that he already has, is his way to show how much he loves you

Oikawa, Sugawara, Yamaguchi, Goshiki, Kenma, Yaku, Suna, Sakusa

This guy sends you things he shops on the nook app, like, whenever he buys something clicks send to another island and clicks your name, breeds flowers to give you, those rare ones like golden roses or blue roses, sometimes he saves things to give you later wherever you visit his island, or he visits yours or even he delivers them via dodo airlines with cute notes that melt your heart

Kyotani, Daichi, Ennoshita, Semi, Yamamoto, Akaashi, Aran, Koganegawa

Isn't very good at games but soon as he finds out he can send you postcards with little gifts, he's all in, and I mean it, he would be sending you cute clothes that he feels you might use in real life, his notes are also short and very sweet, always writes like an actual letter and starts with his favourite pet name for you such as "to my dearest" "to my beloved"

Asahi, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Ushijima, Kita, Aone

This guy is a prankster, is the kind of guy who gets on your island and steals flowers, crops and fruits not that you mind tho sometimes he drops things around just to annoy you, always leaves notes in the community board, sometimes they are sweet, sometimes are drawings, yeah, he sometimes draw dicks as well but hey, sometimes he sends you expensive shit

Matsukawa, Tanaka, Nishinoya, Satori, Kuroo, Atsumu, Osamu, Futakuchi

This guy texts you to ask if you're available to play, because... He wants to have a little virtual date with you in his island, he would set a cute little picnic and two small seats and will call you via discord to have 'the date' it's very cute how he only has that part of the island set up just for you, one time he set up a whole wedding stage for you both to marry, that's how cheesy he is but you don't mind at all

Hanamaki, Iwaizumi, Hinata, Lev, Bokuto

Thanks for reading 🐨✨💖

then and now | kuroo t.

pairing: kuroo tetsurō x f!reader word count: 1863 words, fluff! mutual pining!  warning: manga spoilers, with mention of kuroo’s timeskip occupation summary: always the bridesmaid, never the bride. you thought your time would never come until someone from your past comes along and brings up something you’ve long forgotten. OR where you and kuroo make a silly marriage pact and he shows up after years apart to make it come true.  

He chuckled, now comfortably holding your one hand and hiding it in his pocket to keep it warm. “Here I was wondering if you were waiting for me.

Because I was.” 

The church bell tolls, white doves are released, and joyful cheer and applause erupts from the crowd as the newlywed couple steps out from the cathedral. The now husband-and-wife gaze at each other full of love, and it is a sight guaranteed to make one envious and long for that same kind of affection. 

But to you, it’s a scene that you’ve seen so many times that it already feels like a short film played on repeat. For the past year, you’ve lost count of how many weddings you’ve attended – whether as a guest or part of the bride’s entourage – that you’ve acquainted yourself with the workings of the event. 

Heck, you’ve even memorized the readings of the priest that if they ever need a replacement, you can be the stand-in and officiate the program. 

However, this wedding was different. Your best friend of more than fifteen years is the one who walked down the aisle, and you’re more emotional than you expected you’d be. Earlier in the morning, she woke you up, feeling sentimental, and demanded a pep talk. It was laughable because, more than her, you thought it was you who needed that assurance as you sent off your childhood friend to a new journey in her life. 

The whole ordeal felt surreal and somehow, a tad more personal, because it wasn’t just any bride – this was the same girl you grew up with, the one you’ve seen in diapers, the one who held your hand in the playground, the person who you always ran to for boy troubles. Watching her exchange vows and rings felt like a coming to life of a scrapbook page, a long-awaited dream that you’ve talked about together in sleepovers where none of you really slept. 

It made you wonder if you will ever march down the same aisle towards the waiting arms of your beloved.  

---

“What a wedding, huh?” 

The hotel reception was no different to the ceremony that took place prior. This time again, you wore the bride’s maid-in-honor hat and only after making sure that everything – that included the food, drinks, and entertainment – were in place did you take your place on the table and chatted with your old friends from high school. 

The conversation started off with comments on how grand, intimate, and special the ceremony was. They talked about how it was wedding season, counting just how many of their schoolmates have already been wed. And before you knew it, eyes were on you and you had an inkling of what would follow. 

“So,” Yoshioka, your former student council president, turned towards you. “You’re the only bachelorette left in our batch. We’re just curious.”

You laughed awkwardly, “No, please don’t expect a wedding invitation from me anytime soon. I’m still happily single.” The smile you wore felt strained, but whether the other girls recognized it or not, they chose to not comment further. 

“Besides, it’s a great source of joy for me just being able to see you guys get married.” Noticing that the lights have begun to dim and focused on the spot on the stage, you clapped your hands, “Now, let’s just enjoy Yukie’s wedding, alright! Look, they’re coming out.” 

As soon as the couple walked to the floor for their first dance, you heaved a sigh of relief and slumped in your cushioned chair. They moved gracefully as one across the dance floor, seemingly lost in their own world as they gazed deeply in each other’s eyes and swayed to the tune of the love song. 

You thought back to the conversation earlier and weirdly, you felt a pang inside. Truth is, in every wedding you’ve attended, you can’t help but feel wishful. You consider yourself successful in almost every aspect of your life but sometimes, it can feel dejecting when you return home to an empty apartment at the end of a tough workday. 

A part of you craved to make that little girl’s dream come true of wearing the wedding dress that you’ve designed, staying up all night for a bridal shower, and walking down the aisle to where your lover was waiting. 

When the couple’s first dance ended, the host entered the stage and the program officially began. You could only hope that hours would pass faster. 

---

Two hours into the reception and you can already feel the shots kicking in your system. 

It wasn’t a really good idea downing five straight shots of tequila. At first, you thought it would quell your nerves, make you let loose and be the funnier version of yourself as you stepped to the podium to deliver your congratulatory speech to the couple. 

In retrospect, it looks like the drink did its job as you managed to emit laughter and emotional tears from the crowd as you reminisced on your relationship with the bride, recounting the story of how she fell deeply in love and decided that he was the one. 

But now, hunched in your seat with head on your hands, you were seemingly tipsy and all you could think about was escaping outside for some fresh air. 

So, you did. When the groom’s best man took the stage, you saw this as an opportunity to quietly slip to the balcony. 

Shutting the door behind you with a quiet thud, you eyed the empty balcony and sat towards the nearest bench. The surface was a bit cold as the city was now ushering the season of fall, signaling the arrival of long nights and chilly evenings. You shivered slightly and tucked your coat closer to your body as you stare at the darkness. 

You don’t know how long you’ve been outside until you heard the door open and in came a tall, attractive, and oddly familiar man. His face held a warm smile as you noticed that his gaze was directed towards you. 

“Long day?”   

And it was only until he stepped closer and stood in front of you, the moonlight illuminating his face and accentuating his features, that you realized who he was. 

“Tetsurō?!”   

When was the last time you saw the Kuroo Tetsurō? You racked your brain for your last encounter with him and your memories point to your high school graduation. All of a sudden, you felt small and your surroundings became hot as you stood in front of him. Your former childhood neighbor. Former best friend. Former crush. 

Not that he had any idea about that last item. 

“I thought I saw you earlier before the reception started,” he made himself comfortable on the bench, patting the space beside him to urge you to sit as well. “But it’s been so long since I last saw you so of course I thought I was hallucinating. Then you gave a speech on stage – which by the way, I thought was awesome, you’re still as witty as you were before – and my suspicions were confirmed.” 

You were breathless. Speechless. What were the odds that your reunion with him would be at a wedding? 

“Did Yukie send you the wedding invitation?”  

His laugh echoed in the darkness of the night, “Yeah, she did. It was nice to see familiar faces again.” He stared back at you, “I missed everyone.” I missed you, he wanted to say. 

You hummed in agreement and without realizing, the two of you engaged in a comfortable conversation with Kuroo leading just as he always did. Being charming just as he always was. Telling you stories from the part of the past that you didn’t know. Catching you up with his present where he now works in the sports promotion division of Japan Volleyball Association. 

A small part of you was relieved to know that Kuroo was doing well and successful just as you always hoped he would be. Years of no contact with the boy that stole your heart from day one certainly left you lonely. You wouldn’t say it out loud but he was part of the equation of why you still haven’t tied the knot. It was silly but you always thought that no one could measure up to him. 

Absentmindedly, you started fiddling with your fingers, a habit you’ve formed when you were feeling cold, and Kuroo noticed. And just as he always did back then, he enveloped your hands with his and brought them to his lips to blow warm air on them. 

“That better?” 

Your heart threatened to flutter, “Yeah, thanks.” 

After a long while of silence, Kuroo spoke. “I see there’s still no ring on your fourth finger.” He was now nonchalantly stroking your hands, letting his fingers slip in yours. 

You coughed nervously, averting your eyes from his deep ones. “Well, I haven’t really found anyone.” 

He chuckled, now comfortably holding your one hand and hiding it in his pocket to keep it warm. “Here I was wondering if you were waiting for me.

Because I was.” Oh no, be still my heart, you thought.

Kuroo went on, “Remember that silly pact we made on the night before graduation?” 

Your mind takes you back on that evening when you and Kuroo were sitting on the rooftop, away from the noisy crowds and drunk soon-to-be college students. This was your thing, enjoying the calmness and admiring the stars spread out in the night sky. 

That evening, you and Kuroo talked about the uncertain future that lied ahead. That evening, you bared your soul to him, letting him in on your worries and you fell apart in his comforting presence. He, as always, acted as your anchor, assuring you that he would always be your biggest supporter and that he’d always cheer on you even from afar. 

That evening, with the two of you drunk on the excitement and the many possibilities for the new chapter of life, he brought up a proposal.

“I have a crazy idea.” Kuroo linked his pinkie finger with yours. “If we’re still single and not yet married by the age of 35, I’ll find you and we’ll get married.”  

Swept away in the moment and the thrill of the idea, you agreed and sealed the proposal with a harmless kiss. 

“You still remember that?” You questioned, not expecting him to actually remember that silly pact. Not expecting him to be holding on to that agreement. 

“Sometimes, I wonder where we could be now if I just manned up and asked you out that night instead of pulling that act.” He holds your gaze, careful as he brings a hand to cup your cheek. “I’ve liked you for the longest time. And if you’re still available, if you’ll still have me, I am yours.” 

“But we’re not yet 35, Kuroo,” you teased. He chuckled and playfully shoved you before bringing you in an embrace. 

“I’ve decided years ago. You’re the only one for me,” he pulls away. “I’m sorry it took me a long time.” 

And that night, it wasn’t only your best friend that went home feeling the happiest girl in the world. 

Because there was Kuroo who was ready to make up for lost time and give you a reason to look forward to your trips back home.

Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu – The Battle of the Trash Heap

2.5D Interview Translation With Nagata Takato and Kondou Shouri

=====

To begin, please tell us about your energy going into this production. Shouri: Well we just have no choice but to do this. For us, this will be our 6th Engeki Haikyuu production. We’re going to dish out everything we’ve learned until now, and I would love for everyone to think that all the work of our previous 5 productions was all for this, “The Battle of the Trash Heap.” We’ll do our best to make this show a compilation of everything, of all the bonds we’ve made with everyone from the old Karasuno cast to the current cast.   Takato: I want to give it everything I’ve got so that I have no regrets. And moreover, I’m very grateful that we even get to have a tour. We’re going to continue to work hard at rehearsals.  

=====

Full interview and more photos under the Read More! Please do not repost my translations

=====

Please tell us your favorite scene from The Battle of the Trash Heap. Shouri: Even though Yamamoto Taketora sees Tanaka Ryuunosuke as his rival, he’s still conscientious of Fukunaga Shouhei’s presence, and he has a line where he says, “There’s one more person here I have to win against,” and I think that’s such a cool line. I really want us to do that moment.   If we’re talking about Kuroo, my favorite is the moment when he meets Coach Nekomata. That’s such an unforgettable event for Kuroo, and everything began from there.   Takato: I also love the flashback scenes. The part with Kenma’s internal bleeding. After that, I love the scene where Kenma says, “Kuro, thanks for teaching me volleyball.” That was the first time we saw Kenma be that honest, so when I first read it I was really moved. There are a lot of scenes that are going to play really well on stage even if they weren’t necessarily a highlight feature in the manga. And I’m just so uncontrollably happy that I get to perform this with the beloved members of this company, so by definition, I love every scene.  

I do have the impression that all the cast members on Nekoma have an extremely strong team bond.   Shouri: No matter who joins us, they are part of the team. Our Haiba Lev is new and this will be his first production, but he’s already a teammate. For those of us who have been around since the beginning, we’ve become more like brothers.   Takato: Leo calls me “boss.” (laughs) Of everyone in Engeki Haikyuu, he might be our most prized asset.  

The two of you have now been co-stars for four years. From then to now, have your impressions of one another changed at all? Takato: Shouri and I were both basically newbies when we got started with Engeki Haikyuu. So we had said to each other, “Let’s help each other out!” At the very beginning, I think we talked on the phone for about two hours.   Shouri: At that time, I really didn’t know anything about theater. Nowadays we don’t have long telephone conversations like that! (laughs) If we’re going to need to talk on the phone that long, then we’ll just meet up to do it. Ever since we met, we’ve been together constantly.   Takato: When we first met, I was shocked because I thought, “I’m so glad it’s him.” That feeling hasn’t changed at all. It’s so hard to construct a childhood-friends type of relationship. But because I get to do this together with Shouri, we’ve basically become childhood friends.   Shouri: We may not be very much like our characters, but our relationship is pretty similar to Kuroo and Kenma’s. There are a lot of other pairs in Engeki Haikyuu, but I think we’re the closest!  

What do you think has managed to stay connected throughout all the productions up to now?   Shouri: Our teammates. Ten years from now, I can probably gather them all together to meet, those are the kind of friends we’ve made. The time that we get to spend all together working on a production is absolutely precious. That feeling of fellowship is very strong in our team, and that’s been the connection all throughout.   Takato: We’re not trying to be deliberate about making those connections. Of course it would be great if we can connect to the memories and feelings of the cast who have already graduated, but there’s also meaning in just the fact that we’ve continued to do this for all this time.  

And lastly, please give us a final message for all the fans. Takato: Without Engeki Haikyuu, I wouldn’t be who I am today, so I want to be able to show off everything I’ve cultivated in that time. I’m giving it my all so that everyone will say that this production is the most fun of them all. With conditions being what they are, it’s difficult to just freely say to come see us, but I do think that theater has merit and is irreplaceable. If people could just feel that, and maybe feel just a little bit brighter, I’d be happy.   Shouri: It’ll be a home comedy where you can laugh and cry. (laughs) Takato: You’re okay with just that?! (laughs) Shouri: For people who have come to see us until now I feel like they already get it, but I do want to be able to repay your kindness with this production. In the main visual for this show, Karasuno and Nekoma are facing off against each other. That’s thanks to the wonderful staff who have taken care of us all this time, and I want to also repay them. And to all the fans who have supported us for all this time, I want to make a show that makes them think, “Thank you, Nekoma.” Appearing in Engeki Haikyuu changed my life as an actor. This is the culmination of all these years, and I just want to bring everything together and pay it back.

Top 5 best sexual tension in hq??

This is the best top 5 for Valentine’s Day, isn’t it? ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Warning: this top 5 is heavily influenced by my experience as a smut writer. 

1. Oikawa and Iwaizumi. The iwaoi royal deluxe ship wins by a landslide. You can either have sweet sweet loving or hardcore sex, it doesn’t matter because they can make anything work. Every single kink, every single au. Oikawa is flirty and seductive while Iwa is extremely strong and passionate (harsh Iwa and Oikawa who lets him dispose of his body as he pleases always a big yes), together they’re an explosive mix and overall a blessing for every single smut writer out there. 

The subtitle is wrong, he said: I’m going to make you scream my name later, Shittykawa

2. Kuroo and Tsukishima. “They kinda share that really” aka the only couple that I can make work both ways, if you know what I mean. Actually, Kurotsuki is the pair I have most fun with when it comes to kinks (especially with bsdm). They are equally teasing and dominant, but at the same time they like when the other is in charge. They’re the worst when it comes to fluff, but if you’re in the mood for an insanely intense and deep smut scene, they’ll never ever let you down. Hottest couple, hands down. 

3. Bokuto and Akaashi. Ah, Bokuaka. These two are an interesting couple, too bad it’s really hard for me to find smut that I enjoy reading due too the characterization problems. They have a unique sexual tension, fueled by Akaashi’s glacial sex appeal and by Bokuto’s heat that can make him melt in a moment. My Bokuto treats every single kink like it’s the most natural thing, he’s not embarrassed by anything (literally, anything), he’s impulsive, playful and powerful to the point of not being able to handle his strength properly, but at the same time is extremely selfless and aware of Akaashi’s needs. And Akaashi…well, he likes to be controlled, played and spanked by him…so much. A+ awkward after sex fluff. 

Thirsty, Akaashi?

4. Daichi and Sugawara. Finding characters to make the domestic-long-term-boyfriends sex work is incredibly difficult (established relationship is the hardest au in my opinion), so thank you very much for them. It’s a couple that gets off on how much they love each other, spiced it up with the fact that our beloved Suga is a sinnamonroll personified.They win the best fluff award, but this goes without saying. They’re a classic and, like all the classics, their perfect sexual tension immortal. 

5. Hinata and Kageyama (eventually). I’m not a fan of Kagehina smut. At all. I can’t read it, I can’t write it. I’m still in the stage where my favorite boys just kiss, cuddle and hold hands, but I can’t deny that the tension is there and more they’ll grow, the more the bond they already have is going to grow deeper and deeper and would probably explode into some mind blowing smut. I’m gonna let them explore while I wait for them to reach their 3rd years, then we can’t talk about this more. 

Thank you for your message and happy Valentine’s Day to you and to all the OTPs!
