SEASON ONE: EP2 — RED FLAGS ALL AROUND

it smells like seaweed.

no, this isn’t the ocean. the indoor kitchen has a nice enough view.

it smells like soy sauce too. add sesame oil, tuna, mayonnaise, and pickled plums to the mix. osamu’s hands are busy — assembling and flipping, wiping beads of sweat off his forehead with the back of his palm, adjusting the MSBY baseball cap that neatly tucks his choppy summer cut away. he looks in his element. a chef? father of two? one of those. she makes a mental note.

the porch floorboards creak: a signal for incoming trouble.

bokuto almost tumbles into the doorway as nishinoya follows close behind, both faces plastered with ear-wide grins.

bo - pupils the size of jupiter - juts out his finger. “look.”

two ladybugs, perched on the pad of his pointer.

“what you missed out on.” noya quips. one climbs into her palm.

“where’s shoyo?” she asks him.

the two give each other an uh oh face, then they’re sprinting back outside, knocking over a few articles of furniture before leaving her with him again.

osamu: who was previously oblivious to her presence (whether or not he was faking, is an entirely different conversation). was scoffing. “got stood up?”

she’s rolling her eyes. “why do you ask? going to play knight in shining armor and go with me instead?” the corners of her lips tug.

he’s dumbfounded. or so it seems. whatever it is — the silence is making her nauseous. did he not expect that? was it too much?

“jeez, can’t take a joke? I don’t go for guys with buzzcuts.” that’s not what she wanted to say. his hair looks.. fine. nice, even. still: there’s nothing more satisfying than landing a blow to a man’s ego. especially when the chance waves itself in front of your face.

samu opens his mouth, but her date’s walking down the steps before he can snark out a reply. her attention is diverted. stolen. there’s an odd weight in his chest when her back is turned toward him.

he decides he doesn’t like it.

they’re exchanging a look. unreadable. he’s watching (involuntarily). she walks up closer, and for a moment — osamu freezes.

they’re going to kiss? when they just met?

her hand meets her hip.

“why are you wearing a tie to the beach?”

osamu is wrong.

kuroo goes pale.

author’s note: I’m aware the pacing for the last chapter was rough, there will be improvements trust 🤝 I tried writing this from 3rd pov how do we like?? I want this to feel like watching a show

Feel like now is a good time to remind y'all that when asked "which player had the most effect on you?", these two dead-ass put each other's name as their answer.

So, yeah, YakuNoya might be realer than you think, just saying. *wink*

[kings-highway]

this has been in my drafts since April and I cant remember if I'd just planned to go back to it and add more or smth but thats never gonna happen so

Asanoya traveling the world together headcanons:

- Nishinoya is about 90% in charge of their destinations but Asahi books flights/train tickets because Noya gets overwhelmed at all the options and half the time books something that drops off nowhere near their destination

- While Noya tends to be more social and will strike up a conversation with everyone they meet to learn their life story, Asahi is usually people's favourite and he'll get invited to dinners and events like 20 seconds after meeting someone because they just think he's "such a nice guy". Noya can't leave him alone without some local trying to take him away to give him a private tour of whatever site they're at

- Asahi loses weight while traveling because he is not food-adventerous at all and struggles to appreciate local cuisine or customs when it comes to eating unfamiliar products. Noya worries about this so much that it almost ruins the trip for him in particularly off-the-grid locations, because Asahi would never dare complain out loud and Noya has missed the fact that he hasn't eaten properly in a few days before. He is so unbelievably guilt ridden over this that he's started keeping a stash of protein bars and other dense snacks as a mandatory pre-trip checkbox.

- Noya is really good at picking up beginner-level language skills so he gets pretty good at navigating wherever they go. Asahi has never successfully learned another language beyond "hello," "thank you," and "sorry."

- Although they like the luxury of a nice hotel on occassion, they both really enjoy staying in hostels and getting to meet other travelers. It gives them ideas for their next destination.

- They end up in Brazil one summer and follow a goddamn easter egg hunt about a beach volleyball legend only to finally solve it and find Hinata just standing there waving excitedly. Honestly in hindsight they should have seen the signs. Hinata is very excited to show them how to play and then is absolutely shocked to see them absolutely nail the first point without issues. "Oh, I guess we didn't mention, we spent a few months in Portugal and learned it there."

- They bump into a lot of the other globetrotting characters. They're especially fond of the chocolate shop Tendou apprentices at, but had to learn his schedule to go in to avoid running into him because he scares them still.

- Whenever they return to Japan to connect with all their old friends they end up doing like a 2h ted talk going through all their stories and best moments.

- Asahi is the first to "retire" the traveling bc he gets a hoity job at a design company and needs to be able to work consistently. Noya insists he could probably design shirts from a beach but to each their own.

Haikyuu ending in nutshell

[bluestarjay]

A personal Hinata headcanon of mine is that after learning Portuguese, he got kinda hooked on languages. He started learning a whole bunch of different languages either after coming to Brazil or leaving. (English, Spanish, French, in addition to Japanese and Portuguese is what I had in mind). Like idk, he failed English in high school, but once he was able to learn it for himself, not for a grade, and certainly not in a boring way his adhd couldn't understand, he got good at it. I don't think he's stupid. He may be dumb, but he's not stupid. I actually quite like the idea of him being a total nerd in lesser academic-y categories, like linguistics and etymology, the arts and history, and he'd like them especially for the cultural significance. He likes going to new places, even if they're not really that far from home, he just likes the new experiences and knowing how things are different between the two. Like how socially and economically different Miyagi and Tokyo are, how the behavior changes between the players at all the different schools, etc. He'd totally read up on the history of Brazil, wanting to learn everything about the culture there, just because it interested him. He'd probably like the history and cultural and social significance of different music genres and different art styles. He's content living in either Brazil or Japan; he's got no time for traveling the world like Nishinoya, but he learns a bunch of languages anyhow, simply because it's fun. Another headcanon is that he can cook really well (which I can explain another time), but he'd def cook all kinds of foreign dishes, once again, mostly for the culture. It's different. It's a new experience, one of his favorite things in the world, and now that he has the money and freedom and knowledge to make said dishes, the world is literally his oyster! He'd do anything to learn more about why certain cultures eat certain foods, why a certain genre of music is popular there, why they speak the way they do, all because it's fun and interesting to know!

FINALLY DONE YAY!! closeups under the cut :)

reblogs are appreciated !!

[justashyspook]

Rolling Thunder Line

I like to imagine that post time-skip once Asahi is a proper apparel designer he creates a fashion line inspired by Noya (with the signature lightning bolt as the logo🤭) and of course when Noya finds out, he flys back to Tokyo so he can do Asahi the HONOR of modeling said clothes 😂

[theoceanofasanoya]

day 3 of asanoya: foggy mornings (tags: established relationship au, post timeskip au, fluff, domestic au)

Nishinoya follows a strict morning routine - that’s what keeps his energy in control in, if he’s being honest. He likes to wake up at 6AM exactly, get out of his comfy bed, brush his teeth, start some coffee, and then open up the curtains so Asahi can wake up next.

“Already?” Asahi grumbles, his deep voice rougher around this time. He cracks an eye open and buries his head into the pillow. “A few more minutes.”

On a regular day, Noya would’ve opened the second set of curtains, letting the sunshine hit Asahi’s face. But today, he leaves with a kiss on Asahi’s cheek. Besides, this winter morning is foggier than usual. “Five more minutes, Asa-chan,” he says before closing the door behind him.

He changes into his running gear - shorts and a loose tank top. He takes out a loose headband for Asahi from the drawer of hair stuff they have, and returns to their room with a cup of coffee.

Asahi wakes up with the smell of coffee almost immediately. He reaches out for the cup, and Noya gently pushes his hand away. “You’re trying to quit, remember?”

“You’re so cruel,” Asahi grumbles. He flops back on the bed, pouting a little, then gets up again. “I’ll be out in a second. Have you warmed up?”

“Waiting for you.”

Asahi nods, and Noya leaves. He sits on the loveseat, starting with calf-raises for the warm up while he waits for his boyfriend to get ready.

Unlike any part of the day, the mornings in Azumane-Nishinoya household is the quietest. Asahi likes to stay quiet for the larger part of his mornings, it keeps him from buzzing away with nervousness about everything else. He gets restless if he spends too much energy too early. Noya is restless from the morning. He needs to have a good workout in the morning, one that leaves him craving a good nap afterwards. That is how he usually keeps himself in check.

Travelling the world has taught him a lot about him as a person. He’s even better at volleyball now.

“Let’s start the warm up,” Asahi says from the bedroom. He comes out in a similar outfit - but his t-shirt is form-fitting and shows off his pecs and arms well.

Noya whistles. “Good morning to me.”

Asahi blushes. Even after almost seven years of dating. Adorable.

They start warming up, Noya counting for them out loud. They grab their sweaters, ear mufflers, and jackets, and move outside for their dynamic stretches.

“Woah.” Noya pulls his ear mufflers closer to his ears, and breathes out more fog out of his mouth. It’s not freezing, it’ll definitely get better once they start running, but it’s cold.

He can’t see past 10 feet in front of him, and the sun is hiding behind thick, dark clouds.

“I’ll go get the headlights,” Asahi says.

They won’t need it - the fog will let up sooner or later. But his sweet, nervous Asahi likes to be prepared, and Noya can’t bring himself to deny him anything this morning.

“You’re such a boy scout,” Noya tells him when Asahi returns with the headlight. “I love you.”

Asahi, even if he’s woken up a second ago, even if he’s feeling his worst self, never denies Noya the privilege of hearing him say it back. Even if it’s a foggy morning, even if he’s scammed into waking up by his boyfriend, he will always say, “I love you too.”

[easybrainrot34]

He cant handle his crush on you.

Oh god, he can be smooth, he really can, just not when it comes to you. Dear god, this poor bitch. He is a natural flirt for Christ sake, if anything he’s use to people thinking he has something for them when he never even thought of them like that. Oh but when it comes to you??? *In an Italian mobster voice* forget about iiiiitttttttt. He’s a mess. You thought for the first solid week you knew him, you thought he was just super shy, but nope just you bitch. And he hates it.

He wants you to see he can be cool. He has had bitches before you. Although saying that in his head even sounds bad. Nah he’s a gentleman. ANYWAY that’s not the point. He can be all you want and more. But oh lord he feels like he’s 15 again, bitchless some may say fully unable to get any. The question is, do you find this cute? Do you even see him like that?? Do you see that under all the clumsiness and slight anxiety around you that he could make you so happy??

CHs - IWAZUMI(you best believe sittykawa is not letting him live),Suna (its weird for everyone around that this happen and u best motherfckin believe those twin bitches aren’t letting him live), Osamu (except now its suna and atsumu on his ass) , Karoo, Noya (this is fuckin adorable to think about! Imagine all the shit Tanaka would give him and then Asahi giving him advice??? Kill me) Tendou (Ushi sees this ONE time and tells him to just tell you, and when he doesn’t, he just goes up to you and is like “ok he likes you. Please don’t hurt his feelings.”) ok these of obviously all time skip BUT SPECIFICALLY time skip Rio Henita?? Confident as allllll fuck but then it’s u and there he is!! The freshman henita we all know and love <3

Ok here’s the inspo for this. The way I have no brain power lately???? I’ve been sick off and on plus allergies so that’s a ménage à trois from hell. Let me know if y’all have any requests / ideas for me. You can just anon me or DM me idc, It would be greatly appreciated :))

SEASON ONE: PILOT — FAMILIAR FACES

author’s note: osamu’s not an asshole he just doesn’t deal well with attitude guys I promise my man is fine he’s respectful and polite (most of the time) !! + the episodes will get longer promise. to prevent confusion I recommend reading the contact names before the convo, & the tweets from bottom to top (the correct order lol)

[weathertheraine]

Grocery store meet-cute for my timeskip Asanoya ^v^ I love them so much they are soooo love-at-first-sight to me. I have various little aus where they’re neighbours/living in the same city and keep seeing each other around- I think they’re perfect for things like those coffee shop/flower shop/tattoo parlour aus. Noya is always instantly head-over-heels.

I also have to make them t4t ofc <3 Help… Tall Lady…

(Transmasc Noya - he/him, Bigender Asahi - he/she)

[kaistarus]

you... fellow noya liker... spare us ur timeskip noya hcs NOWWWWW <3333

Oh god lol idk if there're enough people who want my five page MLA format essays on time skip Nishinoya 😂

I'll give a few fav hcs that first come to mind:

Noya 100% visits Hinata in Brazil at some point and hypes him up about his Ninja Shoyo nickname

He's known as the foreigner with a death wish-no fear. I looked into the type of spearfishing he was doing and NO ONE talks about how insane he is for this

Majority the native languages he learns are just curses or inappropriate phrases--cant say how are you but knows fuck in like 8 diff languages

I'd like to believe he was best man at Tanaka and Kiyoko's wedding just because that feels symbolic in a way lmao who else better fits the role

He probably tried to start a travel Instagram but lost dedication after like 3 posts-realized it'd be work and not instant fame

Still LOVES volleyball. Just travels around, plays it with locals kinda like Hinata in Brazil but casual lol

I could go on. I know it's like controversial almost that he decided to travel instead of play volleyball pro, but I truly believe it was a perfect ending for him. His grandpa said 'passing up the chance to learn and experience new things is a big fat waste' so obviously he couldn't just do one thing forever. That's opposite his character lol

I'm ranting now. That's what timeskip does to me 😅

[princessgiggles333]

it’s gotten to a point where every single thing i see about haikyuu is making me seize up and convulse. it’s not only ENDING (which is something i try very hard to not think about) but it’s more so the fact that everyone, eventually, gets a happy ending. and it makes me want to rip my clothes off like a werewolf due to how simply soft it is.

the tears you lost over Aoba Johsai losing in season 2? Oikawa continues to play volleyball after graduation, him and the third years are still in touch, he gets his happy ending.

or maybe the Miya twins are making you upset; with Astumu going pro and Osamu knowing high school will be the last time they play serious volleyball together. that did break me, yes, but Osamu is living his best life while Atsumu is living his! they are both HAPPY.

sobbing over the fact Karasuno lost during spring nationals because Hinata got sick, crying about the third years graduating and leaving them after that, Hinata and Kageyama separating after high school, or maybe absolutely losing it over that one panel of Hinata homesick in brazil?

they all make it back to each other! Hinata and Kageyama meet back at opposite sides of the net for their final (but definitely not last) match, this time competing against each other to fulfill an almost decade long promise to beat the other! and don’t forget the fact that their old high school team is there to cheer the two of them on!!!

not satisfied with that? well the freak duo REUNITE AGAIN to play for the olympics, this time on the same team!!

no one dies (well except for that one time), all of them stay friends, and they all lead happy lives they are satisfied with! it’s just all so undeniably happy and warm and fond and endearing and tender and i could go on and on for days about these silly volleyball people <3

[mettywiththenotes]

I think one of the things I love the most about Haikyuu is that even though the whole manga comes from a place of love from Furudate who created the story specifically to get people into volleyball, there is nothing to make you feel bad about not wanting to play anymore

There are characters who are completely obsessed with volleyball. There are characters who aren't obsessed but are interested enough to keep going. There are characters who weren't into it but did it anyway and then just couldn't stop. There are characters who started doing volleyball and then realized they didn't like it anymore, then left and were better for it. There are characters who are like "this was cool and it was nice but I don't want to do this forever". There are characters who never play but still support the teams anyway

And the story validates every single one of these experiences. There's no "this experience is better than that experience", there are just characters who like it, don't like it, are obsessed with it or can appreciate everything that happens in a game regardless of their feelings towards it

It's just really nice to go through the story and feel the whole acceptance through the writing itself, to see that Furudate is encouraging you to try volleyball, to experience how fun it can be, and if it's not fun for you or you fell out of love with it or just don't want to do it anymore, then that's fine! At least you experienced it! At least you tried! At least you learned something about yourself! And hopefully you made friends along the way!

Haikyuu inspires people to try something new but never does it show a characters negative feelings or lack of feelings towards it as invalid and wrong. It just encourages you to do what makes you happy. I really appreciate that
