ukai x reader.

wc: 837

synopsis: you coach a volleyball team, one of the best in the country known for having mostly recruited players. you take pride in the fact that you have led your team to win a national championship title. And with the news of the rising team karasuno, your interest is piqued, mainly because that was your old school. you had known that they were nicknamed the "fallen crows" and such, so hearing about their fast improvement you decide you want to see it for yourself. you call up the school and takeda picks up. you organize a practice match for later that week.

but what you don't realize is that their coach is your highschool ex.

a/n: woohoo finally finished part one of idk how many. i haven't written since my wattpad days and i have so many good ideas for this fic so i hope y'all enjoy this. i just need to like collect my thoughts and put them in order because thinking about the plot my brain goes like 100 mph but then when i actually have to write it, suddenly im illiterate.

Once practice concluded, and the clatter of equipment being stowed away subsided, the Karasuno boys formed a line in front of Ukai and Takeda, anticipating any last-minute announcements before dispersing.

".. and make sure you're eating well and getting enough rest. That's all I have to say for today," Ukai stated firmly, his arms crossed as he surveyed the team.

Takeda cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the eager players. "Yes, indeed. I know this is short notice, but the coach from Kozue Highschool reached out for a practice match later this week, and I accepted."

"HUH?" The boys chorused in a mix of surprise and excitement. A practice match against the reigning national champions was unexpected, to say the least.

"Didn't they win nationals last year?" Daichi questioned, his brows furrowing with intrigue.

"Did they? I'm not sure but you know more than I do." Takeda replies with a smile. "But apparently, their coach is an alumna of Karasuno," He glances at Ukai. "Y/N, I believe? Do you know her? She might be from the same graduating class as you"

Ukai's reaction to your name didn't escape notice. He knew exactly who you were—the pride of Japan's under-19 women's team and, to add a twist, his high school sweetheart.

"Yeah, I know her," Ukai replied, turning to the players. "That means this won't be an easy match. Not only because Kozue is a national champion, but also because Y/N is coaching them. She was- is one of the best womens volleyball player. So think expect nothing less from her team. Be prepared to face some formidable opponents."

"WOW! A NATIONAL CHAMPION TEAM! I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY WITH THEM!" Hinata exclaimed, his excitement palpable. "I won't lose to them!"

"Yeah, me neither," Ukai thought to himself, his expression unreadable.

After practice, as the Karasuno third years made their way home, Suga couldn't help but bring up the tension surrounding Ukai and you.

"So, Y/N is definitely Coach's ex, right?" Suga prodded, casting a knowing glance at his companions.

"Oh, absolutely," they agreed. They continued to discuss the possibilities as they walked home.

Ah, the history between you and Ukai. It was a tale of high school romance, filled with shared lunches, mutual support at games, and stolen moments in the clubroom. But graduation day shattered those dreams, as Ukai chose to explore college life, leaving you heartbroken and struggling to move on.

But some wounds never truly heal. Ukai remained a lingering presence in your thoughts, the memory of him etched into your heart as your first love, your first heartbreak.

Little did you know the storm brewing ahead as you prepared for the practice match against your alma mater, Karasuno Highschool.

The bus ride back to Miyagi was quiet, your team fast asleep behind you. As the bus slowed to a halt, you felt a surge of excitement—the familiarity of your hometown, the anticipation of facing your old school.

Karasuno High. The memories flooded back as you recognized the school's facade. Your stomach churned with excitement and nerves as you led your team off the bus.

"...twelve, thirteen, fourteen, yep! That's everyone," you counted, gently tapping your players as they stumbled out of the bus, still half-asleep.

"Why are we playing at a school two hours away again?" Haru, your team captain, yawned.

"Because, one, I used to go here back in the day, and two, I heard they're really good now. I'm excited to see what they look like. It'll be good practice," you explained, walking into the school towards the old gym where you spent multiple late nights after practice. you hear the familiar sound of volleyballs hitting the ground grow louder the more you walk toward the ajar door.

But what you didn't anticipate was a volleyball hurtling towards your face. Instinctively, you raised your arms, but it never struck you. A familiar figure stood beside you, his presence startling.

Ukai Keishin.

You were at a loss for words. It couldn't be him. Yet, there he was, saving you from a potential injury.

"Hinata, you can't be receiving like that!" Ukai's voice cut through the air, snapping you back to reality. His eyes met yours, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still.

"What are you doing here?" you managed to ask, your tone sharp, eyes narrowed.

"What does it look like, Y/N?" he retorted with a teasing smirk. "Same reason you're here, I suppose."

You couldn't believe your luck—running into your high school ex at a crucial moment. Hoping to avoid any further interaction, you turned away and made your way to your team.

"Thank you for having us here," you bowed to the Karasuno team, your voice steady despite the turmoil within. As you started stretching with your team, your mind raced, your gaze occasionally drifting to Ukai. Your usual composure faltered, and your team couldn't help but notice.

This practice was shaping up to be far more challenging than you had hoped.

[grabowskibeepboop]

Takeda, recording his first ever tiktok: What was the stupidest thing you've ever done while you were drunk?

Takeda: I'll go first.

Takeda: It was this guy right here *points the camera to Ukai who's laying in bed right next to him*

Ukai, looking at the camera, processing the information: ...........

Ukai, realizing: Hey!

[nykie-love-anime]

Day 18 ~ Road Trip

The team during a road trip to the beach and their roles while on this road trip.

Daichi

The one driving

Because coach and Takeda are tired after the year they just had and they deserve sleep

No other answers are accepted, except for Sugawara, because they want to arrive to the beach safely

Yeah coach Ukai and Takeda are there but the boys wanted to treat them for everything they have done for them

Reader

The one that brought snacks and drinks

Tissues for Tanaka because he usually cries during some movies

A first-aid kit because they are rowdy boys, they get into a lot of accidents

And movies to play on the car screen for said rowdy boys

Tanaka

The one that screams punch buggy the whole time when he sees a Beetle

He punches someone “gently” because man doesn’t know his strength

He is the one that cries at the movie playing

He loves to play dumb car games along with Asahi

Nishinoya

Man loves to snack

“I want one.” He points at the chips in Hinata’s hand

“Give me that.” He takes the box of cookies from Asahi

“Let me just take that.” He takes the bag of chips from Hinata because he is less likely to bite him

Asahi

Likes to play car games like the old man that he is along with Tanaka

Let’s Nishinoya eat his cookies because he brought extra just for that reason

Not that the rowdy boy ever lets him eat alone with the second box

Brought a volleyball ball and a net just for beach volleyball

Sugawara

Plays the games along with Asahi and Tanaka when he is not giving directions

The one that actually know how to read the roadmap when the GPS gives out

The co-driver whenever Daichi gets tired or just needs a break

Just being an amazing navigator not missing any signs where to turn or somethings like that

Tsukishima

Backseat driver

He just likes to bitch about everything and everyone

If he doesn’t like the food you packed you will not hear the end of it

“This is a boring movie Y/N.” to “Could you not pack better snacks?”

“Can you guys shut up I am trying to focus on my music.”

Has his headphones on for most of the ride after he is done bitching

Hinata

The one that sits in the very back, quietly for once while looking out of the window not bothering a soul

Because Kageyama is out cold for most of the drive he can be a bit calm

Just waiting to get to the beach to play volleyball because boy is obsessed

Kageyama

The sleeper

He loves his sleep and he knows once they get to the beach he is not going to sit still for a minute

The eater

But going back to sleep after filling his stomach

Yamaguchi

The one who reminds the driver to pull over so that everyone can go to the bathroom

Also remind the driver the boys needs to stretch their legs

And telling interesting facts about what he knows

“The cornea is one of only two parts of the human body without blood vessels.”

Then he goes on and on about what he knows but they love him so they pretend to listen to all his facts

Loves to give his 2 cents when Daichi and Sugawara are talking about certain things he knows a lot about

Ennoshita

The one that has the perfect music taste

He plays music every time they are on a trip

Will accommodate everyone’s need when it isn’t crap songs

Kinoshita

Like Hinata he sits in the very back

Reading the newest spy drama series he is interested in

Not talking unless he is spoken to

Narita

Also sits at the very back

He likes to play video games on his switch only bothering you when he is hungry for something

Like Kinoshita he is quiet unless spoken to

Takeda

The one who reminds everyone to put on sunscreen once they get to the beach

Also the one who reminds everyone to drink enough fluids as it is very hot as to not pass out from dehydration

Coach Ukai

He is the one that doesn’t listen to Takeda and catches a nasty sunburn

He fell asleep after getting to the beach because he didn’t sleep to well the night before

Thanks to Takeda keeping him awake stressing about their safety on a phone call

Yachi

Buys everyone an ice cream of their choice

Reads quietly while watching the boys play beach volleyball

Will participate when they ask her to help the with extra players

Like Takeda reminds the boys to drink water

Kiyoko

Keeps the rowdy boys in check when they start to get to loud in the bus and on the beach as well

Plays volleyball along with the boys without being asked

She is not afraid to dive for the ball and everyone is impressed with her

Including you, her twin brother, who could not be prouder that you taught her how to play in your first year as high schoolers

Day 17 | Masterlist | Day 19

[karlyboyyy]

Oh god it’s happening again somehow these two have weaseled their way into my brain again and I have a few cute ideas for them but can I commit to actually doing something about it?? We shall see…

Been thinking about Ukai Keishin and Takeda Ittetsu a lot these past few days for some reason, and now I really wanna draw them or write something about them. But we all know I’m most likely just gonna keep them locked up in my brain 🥲

You adjusted your uniform for what felt like the sixth time that morning, glancing at your reflection in the school bathroom mirror. With a held breath, you stepped back into the empty hallway, checking once more the paper in your hand with precise directions to the teachers’ lounge. There, you were supposed to meet Professor Ittetsu Takeda for a brief tour of Karasuno High.

You stopped in front of the door and, after taking a deep breath, knocked a couple of times. The door opened, revealing a tired-looking woman who lowered her gaze when she saw you.

"Yes?" she asked, her expression somewhat neutral.

"Excuse me, is Professor Takeda here?" you asked, hesitating slightly as your fingers played with the Sanrio keychain hanging from the strap of your bag, trying to calm your nerves.

Before the woman could respond, a young man with a friendly appearance, wearing glasses and a green tracksuit, appeared suddenly and offered you a small bow.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Takeda-sensei. I’m really grateful that you’re giving me this tour,” you said with a calm voice.

"The pleasure is mine!" Takeda responded enthusiastically. "Karasuno High is a special place, and I’m sure you’ll feel welcome here. Are you ready for the tour?"

“Yes, sensei,” you replied with a smile, feeling your nerves start to fade, thanks to the professor's warmth.

Takeda nodded, giving you a brief summary of the various spaces you’d visit as you walked down the school’s hallways. The tour would start at the main facilities and finish at the gym. As you walked, he explained the structure of the school’s clubs and the steps to take if you were interested in joining one.

“Do you have a music club?” you asked, quickening your pace to keep up with him. Your old school didn’t have such a club, so you hoped to find one at Karasuno.

Takeda paused briefly, adjusting his glasses before replying.

“I can’t say for sure,” he answered, thoughtful. “Last year we had a music club, but it was quite small, and I’m not sure if it will continue this year.” He opened one of the exit doors and, gesturing with his hand, invited you to go first. “Do you like music? Do you play an instrument?”

“Yes!” you replied enthusiastically, your eyes lighting up as you spoke. “I’ve been playing the piano since I was eight.”

As you moved through the hall, you shared with Takeda-sensei how your interest in music began. You talked about the hours spent practicing, the recitals, and how the piano had given you a personal refuge and a means of expression.

“That’s admirable, Y/N,” said Takeda with a genuine smile as he listened to your story. “Just one last stop,” he added before stopping. “Well, here we are. This is the gym. Impressive, isn’t it?”

“Wow…” you murmured as you entered, taking in the vast space, much larger than anything you’d seen at your previous school. “It’s amazing.”

Takeda nodded, visibly pleased with your reaction.

“That’s right. This is where the volleyball team trains and plays their matches,” he said, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked around the space. “You might even get a chance to see them in action one day.”

The suggestion piqued your curiosity. You’d heard of Karasuno’s volleyball team’s reputation and began to imagine the vibrant energy and excitement during their matches.

“Well, that’s all for today,” Takeda concluded, turning to you with a kind expression. “I hope the tour helped you get a little more familiar with the school. If you have any other questions or need help, don’t hesitate to find me.”

You returned his smile, feeling that the warm environment of the school had started to dispel your initial nerves. As you left the gym and bid farewell to Takeda-sensei, you truly felt welcome at Karasuno, certain that this was the beginning of a new chapter full of possibilities.

The persistent sound of the alarm clock echoed through your room, abruptly pulling you out of sleep. You sat up quickly, the excitement of your first day at the new school banishing any trace of drowsiness. You dressed hurriedly, making sure every detail was in place, and dashed downstairs, almost skipping, arriving at the kitchen where your mother was finishing preparing breakfast.

“Mom, breakfast!” you said, leaning against the counter with an expectant smile.

“Here you go,” your mother replied, carefully placing the breakfast into your bag. She then moved closer, bending slightly to adjust your uniform and gently fix your hair. “Do you want me to take you to school?”

“No, thanks, I’ll walk,” you said, giving her a kiss on the cheek as a goodbye.

With the key safely tucked in your skirt pocket, you left the house and began walking uphill toward the school. As you plugged your headphones into your phone, you let the first chords of your favorite song fill your ears, creating a small bubble of tranquility around you.

Suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the music in your headphones.

“Watch out!”

Startled, you looked up just in time to see a boy on a bicycle speeding toward you. With quick reflexes, you stepped out of the way, feeling the rush of air as he zoomed past you.

“Sorry!” the boy shouted as he continued pedaling, not slowing down.

“Idiot…” you muttered, irritated, as you returned your attention to your phone to change the music. With a sigh, you decided to let the small incident go and focus on the rest of your walk. The morning was still young, and in the air, you felt a mix of nerves and excitement about what the day would bring in this new chapter of your life.

You entered the classroom and chose a desk near the window, from where you could observe your new classmates as they settled in. The atmosphere quickly filled with conversations and laughter, with several students starting to form groups and chat enthusiastically. You found yourself wishing for the same, repeating to yourself that you would make friends eventually, as you watched more classmates enter and take their seats.

Soon after, the teacher entered the room and began writing some instructions on the board before turning to the group.

"Alright, everyone, split into groups of three to start today’s activity," she announced energetically, leaving the chalk on her desk.

You frowned as you looked around, aware that you didn’t know anyone yet. You hoped someone would invite you to join a group, fearing you'd end up alone while the others formed their teams.

"Hey... hey, you," a voice called out toward you.

You turned your head to see a short boy with orange hair and a friendly smile. He was extending his hand toward you, and as you looked at him more closely, you immediately recognized him as the same boy who had almost run you over with his bicycle that morning.

"Do you want to team up with me?" he asked with an upbeat expression.

You hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized you didn’t have many options.

"Sure," you agreed, trying to hide your surprise.

The boy’s face lit up as if he had just won a prize. Without hesitation, he moved his desk next to yours and sat down, showing the same energy he had earlier.

"I’m Shoyo Hinata!" he introduced himself enthusiastically. "And you?"

His energy was contagious, and although you started the conversation with some reservation, you couldn’t help but smile at his friendliness.

"I’m Y/N Y/LN," you replied, noticing that despite the morning mishap, the idea of having such an enthusiastic and friendly partner wasn’t so bad.

Hinata, moving energetically in his seat, looked at you with a wide smile.

"It’s a pleasure. I saw you this morning on your way to school," he said, his enthusiasm palpable. "I almost ran you over, I'm really sorry."

He looked slightly embarrassed by the confession, but the sincerity in his tone made you feel like there was no ill intent.

"It’s okay, it was my fault," you replied, trying to reassure him. You saw him relax as the excitement returned to his eyes. However, his expression soon turned thoughtful.

"Hey, Hinata, we still need one more person," you commented, remembering that the group needed to have three members.

"Right!" he exclaimed quickly, looking around the classroom with anxiety before pointing to a girl at the back of the class, her black hair falling in soft waves over her shoulders as she fiddled with her phone. "How about we ask her?"

You looked at the girl he had pointed to. She seemed completely absorbed in her screen, not paying much attention to the commotion around her.

"Of course, why not?" you replied, determined. You had nothing to lose.

Hinata, with resolve, stood up from his seat with a confident smile and quickly made his way to the girl. It was clear that he wasn’t the type to hesitate or hold back for too long. You watched him as he approached and said something you couldn’t hear. After a couple of brief exchanges, the girl looked up, seemed to think about it for a moment, and finally nodded.

Hinata returned to your side, accompanied by the girl, who sat down at the empty desk in front of you.

"Nice to meet you, I’m Nakamura Nayuta," she said with a shy smile, introducing herself politely.

When the teacher saw the group was complete, she began explaining the instructions for the activity. As the class went on, the three of you began to share details about yourselves. It turned out that none of you had ever been to Karasuno before, which gave you another point of connection. When the activity ended, you decided to keep talking and get to know each other better.

"Ahh, Nayuta-san, do you like volleyball?" Hinata asked enthusiastically, pointing to the background on Nayuta's phone, where volleyball player Ishikawa Yūki appeared.

"No," Nayuta replied distractedly, without taking her eyes off her phone.

"What? But you have a volleyball player as your wallpaper!" Hinata looked genuinely surprised, almost disappointed by the answer. Then, with his eyes shining with excitement, he turned to you. "And you, Y/N-san? What do you think of volleyball?"

"No, I’m not very good at playing, I prefer music," you confessed, doodling on the corner of Nayuta’s notebook with your pen. You couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for Hinata, with his energy so contagious.

Hinata, seeing that neither of you shared his enthusiasm for volleyball, felt a little discouraged but quickly composed himself. "I love volleyball!" he said with a wide smile, his eyes shining with determination. "And I plan to become the next star of Karasuno."

"Aren’t you a little short to play volleyball?" Nayuta asked, still not looking away from her phone. The question, delivered with unsettling calm, made Hinata’s shoulders drop slightly. As for you, you couldn’t help but stifle a small laugh at your new friend’s direct comment.

Hinata, however, didn’t lose his composure. "Yes, but I'll be as cool as the Little Giant," he said, regaining his enthusiasm. With a defiant attitude, he crossed his arms over his chest, as if he could already visualize his bright future.

"I’m sure you’ll make it," you replied, smiling as you looked at the passion in Hinata’s eyes. His optimism was refreshing, and his determination seemed genuine. The conversation flowed easily, and you were starting to feel like part of this small group, despite being new to the school.

Nayuta finally looked at both of you with a calm expression. "Whatever you do, I hope you have fun," she said, her words more reserved but filled with a subtle warmth.

"I’m already excited to join the volleyball team!" Hinata exclaimed with enthusiasm, quickly packing his school materials into his bag. "What about you guys? Which club are you going to join?"

"I don’t know yet," you replied, briefly considering the possibilities. The music club had caught my attention, but as Takeda sensei mentioned, I wasn’t sure if it would still be offered this year. I looked at Nayuta, who, with slight indifference, shrugged.

"I’ll probably join the reading club," she said with a small smile, not offering much more.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the class, and the students began to get up from their seats and leave the classroom. Nayuta quietly said her goodbyes, heading toward her next destination. Hinata, on the other hand, wasted no time and turned to me with a look full of enthusiasm.

"Let’s go, Y/N! Come with me to the gym, maybe something will catch your eye and you'll join," he said, making an animated gesture with his hands. His energy was contagious, and I couldn’t help but smile at his excitement. Seeing my hesitation, he added with an even more pleading tone: "Please!"

I felt a bit embarrassed by the way he asked me to join him, but in the end, I accepted with a slight smile. "Alright, alright," I replied, feeling the warmth in my cheeks as I noticed some people in the hallways staring at us curiously due to Hinata's commotion.

"Yes! Wait here, I’ll change first!" he exclaimed, almost shouting, before running off toward the boys’ bathroom.

[dickcheneyshousepet]

takeda ittetsu has big widower energy. ESPECIALLY in the beginning. he’s just a lonely guy trying to find an outlet for all his love and inject some purpose into his life! he’s willing to give these kids his life savings because he no longer wants to imagine his future now that his spouse is gone. he doesn’t mind staying late for practice because he has no one to come home to. he’s angry at the universe, and it manifests as him clawing and gnashing at opportunities for these kids because like hell will he let fate be unkind to them. he has to relearn how to make healthy sacrifices out of love as opposed to breaking his back out of guilt and a sense of obligation.

idk why but adding some grief and survivor’s guilt to takeda’s arc just makes it better. it ties the whole thing together

[moonbeamwritings]

a rainy day

for my beloved @cup-of-fluff ♡

You usually loved your walk to work. You passed the local park and listened to the birds. You enjoyed the sunshine and cool air on your skin before you were stuck inside for the day, dealing with high school students and grading tests. It gave you the peace of mind you needed to start every day on the right foot.

Today, though, it seemed the universe had other plans.

You're a few minutes into your walk when it starts — the rain. As soon as the first droplets hit your head, you're racing to pull your umbrella from your bag, but your search turns up empty. You didn't pack it.

You sulk for a solid minute, staring sorrowfully between the path leading to your house and the sidewalk towards the school before finally deciding to forge on. With a defeated sigh, you hunch your shoulders, wrapping your thin sweater closer to your body as you avoid the puddles that pool in the dips of the sidewalk.

Just as all hope seems lost, your hair soaked and clothes damp, a distant voice calls your name, frantic footsteps hitting the sidewalk behind you. Before you know it, an umbrella is being slipped over your head, offering you sanctuary from the unrelenting storm.

“Good morning,” Takeda greets, the smile on his face already working to thaw the chill that’s settled into your bones. “What’re you doing out in the storm like this? Aren’t you freezing?”

You look at your feet sheepishly, desperately trying to hide your chattering teeth as you offer him a greeting in return. “Good morning, Takeda. I forgot my umbrella today.”

He tuts, tucking closer to your side to hold his umbrella square over your head. “Well, we don’t want you catching a cold now, do we? Let’s walk together.”

You accept his offer immediately. You’d be foolish not to. The opportunity to spend time with the coworker you’ve been pining over for months didn’t come around very often, and from this distance, it’s easy to discern the distinct smell of his cologne. Absentmindedly, you wonder if he’s always smelled this good. The thought brings heat to the apples of your cheeks.

You fall into stride and easy conversation then. Takeda tells you all about the progress the volleyball team has made, and, in turn, you tell him about the new novel you’ve been reading. You reach the school grounds before you know it, and you’re grateful for the warmth you find in the main entranceway.

“I can’t thank you enough, Takeda, really.”

He waves you off with another kind grin. “I’m always happy to help, and besides,” Takeda shakes the water from his umbrella, a faint rosiness to his cheeks as he adds, “it’s nice talking to you outside of work.”

You’re about to respond when you notice the left sleeve of his coat is completely soaked through, the fabric clinging to the entire length of his arm. He’d gotten himself all wet just to save you from the rain. “Oh, Takeda,” you coo, gently taking the end of his sleeve in your hand, “you’re soaking wet!”

“That’s alright,” he replies casually, his blush only seeming to deepen, “I have another coat in the teacher’s lounge. Don’t you worry about me.”

“But-”

“No buts, I’ll be alright. I’m more worried about you! Why don’t you go get settled; maybe a cup of tea will help warm you up a bit before the kids get here.”

You sigh, not having much room to argue with the idea of a nice mug of green tea. “Fine, but the next afternoon you’re free from volleyball; I’m treating you to coffee.”

Takeda brings a hand up to nervously rub at the nape of his neck. “I’d like that. Thursdays are usually our off day if you’re free then.”

Without a second thought, you beam at him, butterflies erupting in your stomach. "Then it’s a date.” You offer him a wave before you disappear down the hallway, no doubt off to make that cup of tea.

Takeda is left standing in the lobby, a dripping umbrella in his hand and furious blushing creeping up his neck and to the tips of his ears. At that moment, he realizes that he didn’t bring an extra jacket today, but you didn’t need to know that. It was all worth it in the end, Takeda thinks as he peels his coat from his arm. He finally secured a date with his work crush, and all it took was a simple walk in the rain.

request: “takeda is a very underrated character! i stem him as a good boy in work but he’s a completely different person when he isn’t wrangling a team. do you have anything for our adorable teacher? my headcanon is a headcanon so you don’t need to use what i just said.” 

takeda ittetsu x fem! reader. requests open.

fandom: haikyuu!! 

You were one Karasuno’s on staff on staff nurses. You had been dating Takeda after meeting him while you supervised one of the boys’ games. You were there in case anyone got injured or a player needed to get bandaged their fingers bandaged. 

//

You looked at Takeda as the two of you were eating lunch in the teachers lounge. He was looking over the boys schedule when you noticed the horrible grocery store food he was eating. You had constantly told him you’d make him lunch if he asked but he always got shy and refused it. Sighing, you took out a spare utensil you had in your bag and put it on top of his notebook. 

“Take-chan, you need to start eating better.” You said as you grabbed his crappy food.��“Have some of mine. I don’t care how much you protest, I’m going to start bringing you lunch.” 

Takeda wanted to argue but as he was about too, another teacher walked into the room. You smiled as you took a few last bites before shoving your lunch to Takeda and left the room. 

While the two of you had been dating for nearly three years, you still hadn’t met his team personally. Outside of that one time, you never met them again. You knew how much they meant to him and you didn’t want to overstep your boundaries. He gushed about the teams accomplishments to you and whenever he had a hard day with the team and work, you’d be there to have him relax with you.

Although you hadn’t known the boys personally, you were sure that they thought he was an innocent teacher who never did anything besides go to work and practice. They just never had known how the two of you got together. 

//

A few of the professors had went out for a night in the town. All of the younger Karasuno professors had a rule. Whatever happened during the night would not be brought into the school. It was more beneficial in case anyone did or said something embarrassing. You had seen a few teachers wildly wasted while other professors had gone home together. 

The night you decided to go out with a few professors was a night you would never forget. The western history teacher had invited you and a few professors ended up at a small high-end bar. The professors were known to the establishment so when you got there, they were taken back by the new face. 

“So, if the stories are true, by what times does everyone get shit faced?” You asked Takeda as he laughed. “You’ll know in a few minutes. It’s usually by the fourth round.” 

You smiled and the two of you continued small talk. Slowly but surely, the buzz was hitting the both of you. You stumbled up to the bar with Takeda as you screamed to bartender for the hardest western liquor they had. He handed you the hardest liquor they had on call which was a Sunset Rum. Without realizing the alcohol percentage that was actually in it, the two of you gathered around the small bottle. 

“Here’s to grading papers and never having to administer another state exam ever again!” You said before clinking shot glasses with him and downing it. The minute it hit your throat, the two of you were choking it back. Takeda looked like he was on the verge of passing out as you were holding your stomach trying not to throw it up. 

“I regret this!” You tried saying before you noticed the other professors laughing. “No one told you to get the heaviest vodka they had!” 

By the end of the night, you were holding Takeda by the shoulder as he tried to hold himself and you up. After the third Sunset shot, the two of you were getting used to the hit of the shot and downed half the bottle before the mathematics professor had to take it away. 

When he tried to put you in a cab, you hauled him inside and made it to your house. Nothing mildly sexual happened besides him confessing his love to him. For somebody of his stature, you had to give him props, he knew how to handle his alcohol. 

The next morning, the two of you woke up with the worst headaches to man kind. You weren’t able to turn to look at the window without feeling like your eyes were burning from the sunlight. Takeda although became best friends with your toilet while you drank every possible gatorade you had in your fridge. 

//

That had been nearly two years ago and now you weren’t able to drink a few beers without getting a migraine the next day. Takeda had developed a small tummy which he usually covered by his familiar green sweater. 

The next morning, you had gotten up to make not only Takeda lunch but everyone on his team a bento box. Takeda usually left before you did so he didn’t see you making everyone’s dinner. You had a knack for cooking and you didn’t mind making everyone food. 

When you got to the teachers lounge to give Takeda his lunch, you had seen that he wasn’t there. You grumbled knowing he probably forgot that you were bringing him lunch or had brought another grocery lunch and didn’t want you finding out. 

After classes were over, you hauled the dozen or more lunches into the gym. You had seen the team practicing while Takeda was going over something with one of the managers. 

“Takeda!” You whispered to him as he immediately felt a blush cross his face. “What’re you doing here?” 

You smiled and hauled in the bent boxes, “Well, I know with the big tournament coming up, all of you are going to be here really late so I made everyone small bento’s so the lot of you don’t go hungry.” 

The minute the team heard bento boxes, they immediately ran towards you. They all bombarded you with questions. Who were you? Did you know Ukai or Takeda? How did the two of you met? And so on. You instructed the team after a while of them practicing and with the permission of Ukai, you’d give them the bentos.

They all cheered as Ukai promptly told them to get back to practicing. You took out the boxes and set them out with the help of Yachi and Kiyoko. They all had small tags on them with their name written on it. 

Ukai had known about you and hung out with you a few times with Takeda but he never got to really know you. He knew the two of you were reaching three years but it didn’t really go beyond that. 

When Ukai called for a break for them to eat, he sat next to Takeda. Takeda already feeling the jokes coming to him by Ukai, he was surprised when he started talking to him in a soft spoken voice. 

“It’s nice of her to bring everyone dinner.” Ukai said as he took a bite of the food. “The two of you are going to celebrate three years, aren’t you?” 

Takeda nodded enthusiastically, “Yeah, the best three years of my life.” 

Ukai gave a small smile as he heard you asking one of the boys to help you with the drinks you had in your car, “So when are you slapping a ring on her finger? A girl like that only comes around once in a while.” 

Takeda laughed as he reached over into his backpack and took out a small box, “Her sister already gave me her ring size. Her sister pretended that she needed to get her wedding ring resized and she had the jeweler size her. It’s really just up to me and when I ask her.” 

Kiyoko noticed the small interaction and the box Takeda was holding. She immediately felt tears hitting her eyes as she nudged Yachi for attention. Yachi let out a gurgling scream which prompted half the team to notice what Takeda was holding. 

“ASK HER NOW!” Hinata screeched as Takeda was happy that you weren’t in the gym to see the scene happening. “Hinata, you dumbass. You don’t go demanding a teacher when to propose to his girlfriend.” Takeda couldn’t help but laugh at Tsukki’s statement. 

Hinata did have a point. He was surrounded by everything he loved. You, the team, and one of his best friends. When everyone that you were walking back inside, Takeda slipped the box inside his sweater as you started spreading out the juice onto the table. 

Ukai gave him the nod of approval and Takeda walked over to you. You had his back towards him as he silently asked for Kiyoko to tap your shoulder. He bent down on one knee and the face you made when you realized what he was doing would be a face he would never forget. 

“You’re the love of my life. You came at an unexpected time in my life. I would have never thought that someone like me would ever find someone like you but I did. Being surrounded by the people I love, I knew it had to be today. The love that not only do you show me on an everyday bases but the love you have for the team is something I won’t ever find in someone else. Will you do me the honor and marry me?” 

It was as time slowed down. You noticed Yachi and Kiyoko holding each other as they had stray tears coming down. Even a few of the boys were getting misty eyed as you couldn’t help but chuckle at Tanaka’s and Nishinoya’s reaction. 

“Yes, of course!” Was your response as Takeda let go of a breath he had no idea he was even holding in. He slipped the ring onto your finger before holding you and kissing the top of your head. Before you knew it, the entire team tackled the two of you and screamed their congratulations. 

Even though you didn’t know the students that well, you were sure that Takeda nor Ukai would ever find another team like this. Another thing you were sure about was the fact that you were going to invite every single person to the wedding considering they were apart of one of the biggest nights of your life thus far.

Falling in Love with Karasuno Part 2

Characters: Kageyama Tobio, Hinata Shoyo, Tsukishima Kei, Yamaguchi Tadashi, Ukai Keishin, Takeda Ittetsu, Shimizu Kiyoko, Yachi Hitoka

Warnings: None

Falling in love with Tobio is hitting tosses for him to set; back hugging him and giving him a peck on the cheek; listening to him rant about Hinata, trying not to laugh because you know he's actually one of his best friends, even if he won't admit it; stealing food off his plate to bother him; swiping a bit of food onto his nose and laughing at the way he scrunches it; him always having to be big spoon; him picking up something while he's out that he remembered you mentioning you needed

Falling in love with Shoyo is chasing each other, laughing loudly the whole time; splashing each other while swimming; taking selfies together with one of you back-hugging the other around the neck, both of you throwing up a peace sign with big grins on your faces; a blushy grin spreading across his face when you kiss him; cuddle naps with his face buried in your chest or your head on his; bunny kisses and tickle fights; pressing up against your hand when you scratch his scalp

Falling in love with Kei is vibin' in a room together, soft music playing and the pitter patter of the rain outside relaxing you both; soft, almost instinctual kisses on your temple; lying between his legs with your back against his chest and his arms around your waist; wiping food off your cheek; rarely saying "I love you" but always showing it with his actions; making fun of each other but not minding because you both know there's no hostility behind it; knowing wholeheartedly that every compliment he gives he truly means because he'd never waste his words saying something he didn't mean

Falling in love with Tadashi is holding hands while on a walk in the park; shy smiles and sweet kisses; milkshakes with two straws; picking dandelions to blow and make a wish; rambling on about whatever and him listening with a gentle smile on his face and a soft look of love in his eyes; nervous first "I love you"s and every one after that soft and sweet; fingers brushing when you both reach for popcorn, causing a slight blush and flustered giggle

Falling in love with Keishin is slow but intense kisses, every ounce of his previous experience obvious; curling into him on a park bench, just looking at the stars; pulling you into him by your waist for a deep kiss; chill dates at a grill, likely with just enough beer to not get drunk because he can't really afford to as the coach of a rowdy (but semi-responsible) team; lifting up your chin to place a soft, lingering kiss on your neck; vacationing at a quaint beach house and watching the sunset over the horizon; a hand on the small of your back to help guide you through a crowded area

Falling in love with Ittetsu is reminding him to relax when he's been working a little too hard; going out to eat after a long day, enjoying relaxing in each other's company; always being able to go to him when you need encouragement or advice; being woken up to go to bed if you fall asleep on the couch or at your desk so you can sleep properly and not hurt your back; being a doting partner and bringing you medicine and soup when you're sick; cupping your cheek when he kisses you; rubbing the back of his neck with a shy smile whenever you fluster him

Falling in love with Kiyoko is cooking dinner together, wordlessly working together completely in sync; cozy café dates; kisses on your cheek or shoulder while cuddling; her hugging your arm and laying her head on your shoulder; warm, heart-melting smiles when she greets you; little pecks on the cheek when she says good-bye; cute, heart-stopping grins reserved only for you sent over her shoulder

Falling in love with Hitoka is going on cute ice skating dates; sharing a slice of cake and feeding each other the first bite; going on cute picnics by a river; picking wild flowers to put in each other's hair; her blushing the first time you held hands; matching couple pajamas; shy giggles when you kiss her cheek; hiding her face when you fluster her by giving her compliments

[mimi-cee-hq]

What if Takeda-sensei had a back story for why he's good at going on his knees and begging? What if he had his own character growth? What if, like how Kageyama went from "tyrant" to "goody two-shoes," he went from the boyfriend who didn't like admitting he was wrong (in a Takeda way) to losing you and wishing he apologized over and over again. And he was so traumatized by it that now he doesn't hesitate for a second to get on his knees and why can he can be relentless.

[miizuko]
