-kisses have a little bit of spice

-he's too prideful to confess first ig so you make the move

-ok onto the main shit

-ok maybe not sometimes but we all know when that is

-love playing with his ears mayybe?? i know there's nothing different with the rest, but i just feel like it's with daichi

-your first date is an amusement park one ✨✨

-p.s. you shared the cotton candy lmao-

-he literally walked you home and your parents invited him in for dinner

-they like him very much thank you

-relationship has been approved now your parents are urging him to marry you even though it's only one week into the relationship-

-first date was a movie date

-then you went home with him (you went to his house)

-and met his parents

-they liked you very much <33 now treat you like their daughter

-the next time you went on a date, you brought him to yours and he made a good impression but they don't love him as much as his parents do to you

-i will write the time skip arc for this because i am biased and you literally can't stop me (but tell me if you want more i'll reblog it with more hcs)

-you were so happy for him when he joined the sendai frogs

-cheered for him on every game (LIKE THE SHIRT AND THE SIGNS AND STUFF)

-facepalmed himself out of spite ya bet he got a scolding for that

-"KEI KEI KEI GANABTTE," that was you, screaming at the top of your lungs at your HUSBAND.

-"oi, tsukki, who's that?"

-tsukishima facepalmed himself, earning a glare from you, "my wife."

-"EHH?? TSUKKI HAS A WIFE??"

-lmao the most normal occurrence

-after that koganegawa would often come to you and ask for dirt on kei (screw him for facepalming)

-saltyshima (in the public) → sweetieshima (in front of you only)

Ukai, holding Tanaka and Nishinoya back from attacking Atsumu: Calm down you two! Yamaguchi fainted!!

Tsukishima, preparing to spike a ball towards Atsumu's head.

Sugawara: Please tell me you have an idea of what to do! We can't let him whisk our manager away.

Atsumu: So you finally decided to not deny your undying love for me?

Yn: What?

Osamu: You blackmailed her into this, didn't you?

HAIKYUU X THE OFFICE AU — EPISODE SEVEN: VALENTINE’S DAY

pairing: sugawara koushi x female reader

description: it’s valentine’s day at the office, and you hope for it to be one you’ll never forget. however, everyone seems to be having a better holiday than you.

word count: 4.9k

also available to read on my ao3 here

author’s note: tis the valentine’s episode! plus, it’s episode seven of this au, which is also my favorite number. i wanted to make sure i had this out in time for valentine’s day, so i was really cranking out episodes like a madman. sorry for the content overload! i’ve been looking forward to writing this episode for awhile, and i really wanted to make something cute rather than something absolutely soul crushing (lmao BOOZE CRUISE), so i hope you enjoy it just as much as i enjoyed writing it. happy early valentine’s, everyone! <3

tags: @toorubobatea @intorder @dragon-slayer5 @femme-lune @jeanboyjean @cowgirlikets @darthferbert @kazuchaos @bakagun1312 @beingbrokenfitsus @mumblepingu @daedaep69 @intheewrld @msbyomimi @sukxma @akari-fujikawa @milkteeboba @5sos-wdw @todorokiskitten @intheewrld

taglist form here

as weird as it sounded, you loved spending valentine’s day at the office. it felt like elementary school where you’d share little treats with your classmates. you were notorious for bringing in a box of valentine’s themed candy back in the day, and you lived up to that reputation even now. this year, it was valentine’s fun dip, your favorite.

you’ve spent valentine’s day as an engaged woman for quite a few years now, but you felt this year would be different now that you were less than four months away from your wedding. however, you and ryo promised each other not to go too crazy when it came to gifts. you were trying to save up as much money as possible before your big day. still, you hoped he would put in some effort.

you watched a delivery man enter the office with a big bouquet of red roses. could they be for you? you sure hoped so. you had never received such a bouquet like this before.

the delivery man placed the bouquet on top of your desk. you stand up and read the envelope that came with the bouquet to see who it’s for—hoping it’s for you—but alas, it’s for someone else.

“yachi.” you sigh. it shouldn’t be a surprise, but you couldn’t help but feel some sort of disappointment. still, you had all day to get a gift. you just had to be patient, although that will be a difficult task for you. you don’t even know how you’ve been so patient just for a simple wedding date.

yachi stood from her desk to receive her roses, practically skipping over as she was filled with joy. you look over to see a smile on yamaguchi’s face as he watched her pick up the bouquet, and you could immediately assume they were from him.

“wow, yachi. that bouquet is bigger than your head.” hinata said in amazement.

“i know!” yachi exclaimed. “quick, grab the card and read it out for me.”

“okay…” hinata obeyed, plucking the envelope out of the array of roses and opening up the card. he quickly read it over in his head before reading it out loud. “happy valentine’s day, buttercup. love, yamaguchi.”

“aw, yams!” she cooed. yamaguchi’s cheeks quickly turned pink. “you’re the sweetest.”

you groan as yachi ran over to yamaguchi and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before returning to her desk. they were adorable, you’d give them that, but man. you were already growing impatient.

“hey, y/n. why the sour face?” ukai asked you as he walked up to your desk. were you giving away your bitterness just by the look on your face? no, maybe you just had RSF or something. resting sour face is a thing, right?

“what?” you jump and place your hand over your heart. you really hoped no one else noticed anything off with you. “nothing, nothing. i’m fine.”

“well, i’m heading to tokyo for that meeting soon.” ukai said. right, the meeting. you remembered informing him a couple weeks ago about a meeting in tokyo with other branch managers and the new CFO of the company. you sure hoped he wouldn’t mess it all up. “want any touristy merch? keychain? t-shirt you’ll never let see the light of day?”

“no, i’m good.” you reply. what you really wanted was for ryo to blow you away with a valentine’s gift already.

“ugh, lame.” ukai rolled his eyes. “you want anything, tsukki? i bet they have weird dinosaur crap or something.”

“i’d prefer it if you didn’t do anything stupid in front of the new CFO.” tsukishima said. you were sure everyone was hoping for that.

“what? of course i’m not gonna do anything stupid.” ukai scoffed. “what do you think i am, an idiot?”

“yes, yes i do.” tsukishima deadpanned.

“well, no dinosaur crap for you.” ukai huffed like a child. “tanaka, you’re in charge.”

oh god, this was a match made in hell. why ukai decided to make a decision so randomly like that, you didn’t know, but he could’ve picked anyone else in the office and no one would’ve had a problem with it.

“woah, why him? why not me or suga?” daichi protested. “i’ve proven to be a good leader! i won you that stupid volleyball match with the warehouse guys! suga even took a volleyball to the face thanks to y/n’s fiancé!”

“woah, let’s not drag me into this—” suga began to say. he didn’t want to have to think about that again, nor did he want any extra responsibilities today. suga just wanted a relaxing day.

funny enough, ukai almost forgot about that happening. it felt so long ago, but it only happened in the fall. maybe he should reconsider his choices. “oh yeah… i change my mind. daichi, you’re in charge now.”

“god dammit!” tanaka whined. at least he had his fifteen seconds of glory.

“see ya, bozos!” ukai cackled on his way out.

as soon as the door shut behind him, you all let out a sigh of relief. maybe today wouldn’t so bad without ukai around.

•••

“i’m pretty glad ukai’s not here, actually.” suga confessed without hesitation. you sat next to him, hurriedly nodding in agreement.

“we were all thinking it.” you add on to suga’s statement.

“yeah, i don’t have to worry about him on my back over my love life on a day all about love.” he chuckled. maybe he shouldn’t have said that out loud, but ukai’s absence was a massive relief and breath of fresh air.

“why would he be on your back?” you furrow your eyebrows.

crap. “oh, you know… he’s ukai. he’s always on our backs.”

“yeah, you’re right.” you shrug.

suga was thankful you brushed off any suspicions. that was definitely a close one, especially given recent events.

•••

everyone went on with their day as normal, although some found it odd they weren’t being bombarded or borderline harassed by ukai for once. was it opposite day? no, it was valentine’s day. a weird one, it seemed.

after grabbing a cup of coffee, tanaka returned to his desk. a mysterious package sat next to his keyboard, which wasn’t there before. he looked at the plain, suspicious box in confusion, tilting his head as he tried making sense of it all.

“suga, what’s this?” tanaka questioned, hoping suga would have an answer.

“i don’t know.” he shrugged, which wasn’t the answer tanaka wanted to hear. “it’s yours, not mine.”

“but who put it here?” tanaka asked.

“it was already there when i sat down. just open it and see what’s up.” suga said.

“fine…” tanaka groaned before he reached for scissors and fumbled with opening the box. it took a minute, but he managed to get the job done. inside the box was a card, underneath an unknown item covered in tissue paper. who knows what it could possibly be?

“happy valentine’s day. love, your secret admirer—” tanaka’s jaw dropped to the floor. “holy F*CK! a secret admirer?!”

“i’m not even gonna scold you on censoring yourself.” suga rolled his eyes. he’s had his fair share of dropping bombs on camera too, he surely wasn’t innocent either.

“my word… now i gotta see what’s inside.” tanaka ripped away the tissue paper and picked up a bobble head that resembled him. he instantly loved it upon first sight, but if only tanaka knew who gifted it to him. “it's me… i'm the bobble head. nice!”

from afar, a soft grin crept up on kiyoko’s face, which went unnoticed by everyone in the office. could it be?

•••

“someone in this office has the hots for me and all i know is that it better not be tsukishima.” tanaka said as he stared down the camera. “i mean, i get it, i’m a catch! but why be anonymous with your love? secret admirer, show yourself!”

it was hilarious how tanaka was blind to the only true possibility to the identity of his secret admirer, but the documentary crew would let him take the time to figure it out while filming some television gold in the process.

•••

rather than doing work, nishinoya decided to use his time at the office to make plans for later. asahi was in on nishinoya’s plans, only because he begged him to, allowing his much smaller coworker to do all the talking, starting with suga and tanaka.

“hey, suga.” nishinoya leaned against suga’s desk. “you doin’ anything for valentine’s day?”

suga almost wanted to laugh maniacally. of course, he wasn’t doing anything today. he was pathetically single and had no eyes for other women. saeko was nice, but she was only friend material in suga’s eyes. at least he gained a friend out of that mess from the booze cruise, but tonight? suga planned to be all alone.

“heh, no.” he forced a subtle laugh, holding back on making a mockery out of his pathetic love life. “definitely not.”

“well, me and asahi are going on a bar crawl later. you’re definitely welcome to join.” nishinoya said.

a bar crawl? it didn’t sound like a terrible idea, but suga was worried about who would be attending. “i sure hope hinata isn’t invited. dude cannot handle his alcohol.”

“yeah, i bet kageyama will put a stop to that.” nishinoya chuckled. he didn’t even want to attempt to invite them, really. “so, you in?”

“um…” suga looked over at you. you’re oblivious to his stare as you’re on the phone with someone. of course he stood no chance, so suga quickly looked away to answer nishinoya. “yeah, i’m in.”

“sick! i’ll text you the details.” nishinoya replied. “tanaka, you know you’re always welcome.”

“i don’t know, noya. i might be occupied with a special someone tonight.” tanaka said as he leaned back against his chair, his arms behind his head. totally not for the purpose of showing off his biceps.

“oh, really? with who?” nishinoya questioned.

“oh, boy…” suga groaned. the poor guy had been dealing with tanaka over the moon thanks to this whole secret admirer thing all day so far. if there were a drinking game to take a shot every time tanaka mentioned his secret admirer, suga would be dead by alcohol poisoning already.

“my secret admirer.” tanaka smirked. if only suga had a shot to down right now.

“yeah, okay.” nishinoya scoffed, walking away from what has now become a foolish conversation.

tanaka stood from his desk defiantly, slamming his hands down as he yelled at nishinoya. “my secret admirer is real and i’m going to figure out who it is by the end of the day!”

everyone looked up to watch tanaka’s random outburst, rolling their eyes before getting back to work. suga snickered as a result, receiving a glare from tanaka. as if that guy ever scared him anyway.

nishinoya walked over to kiyoko next, the sound of her name escaping his mouth catching the attention of tanaka. “hey, kiyoko. you doing anything later?”

“um, actually i might have other plans…” she replied timidly.

“okay, that’s cool. have fun.” he said, finding nothing about her response to be suspicious. she was a pretty girl, why wouldn’t she have plans?

however, a light bulb lit up above tanaka’s head. could it really be the woman of his dreams who sent him the mystery package? nah, tanaka figured he was just reaching for the stars. there was just no way.

moments later, a different delivery man walked in with an arrangement of various flowers. just what you needed to see again. it was easy to figure out who they were for, and the card had proven your guess right.

“yachi, guess what?” you call out for her, hiding your jealousy.

“again?” yachi questioned, her puzzled face turning into an overjoyed one upon seeing a new bouquet just for her. “aw, yams, you didn’t have to!”

“rub it our faces, why don’t ya…” you grumble to yourself as yachi took her flowers back to her desk. did she really need another?

•••

“i’m okay! i’m okay, i swear.” you say, your eye twitching as you lie your ass off. “i’m totally not jealous about yachi getting two bouquets already and we’re only halfway through the day.”

“um, i think—”

“i’ll take just a single rose! i don’t care! something! anything!” you exclaim. you had truly gone mad, and the crew was better off leaving you be with your madness.

•••

later, tanaka found kiyoko in the break room making a cup of coffee. he didn’t even want coffee, he just wanted to do some investigating. tanaka just had to know if there was any chance of his dream girl harboring at least a little crush on him. he’d take anything at this point.

“hello, kiyoko.” he said. did that come off creepy? tanaka instantly regretted the delivery of his greeting, that’s for sure.

“hi, tanaka.” kiyoko replied. “i’ll be done in a second.”

“no, no. take your time.” tanaka insisted.

he watched intently as kiyoko made her coffee, grabbing vanilla flavored creamer—her favorite—from the fridge. tanaka always knew she poured it for exactly four seconds before putting in only one sugar packet. as kiyoko always said, the creamer was sweet enough.

“did you hear?” tanaka spoke up. kiyoko looked over to him to see what he had to say. she seemed to be as cool as a cucumber. “i got the best valentine’s day present ever and i don’t even know who it’s from.”

“yeah, we all heard you screaming about a secret admirer.” she giggled. “i’m glad you enjoyed your gift though.”

“oh, i did. i sure did.” tanaka replied with smirk. “did you get anything for valentine’s day?”

“just some candy.” kiyoko said. “y/n saved a blue fun dip specifically for me.”

damn, tanaka got stuck with red. but that wasn’t the point. he had to press the current matter further. “nothing special?”

“nope, i don’t usually get anything big for valentine’s day.” she shrugged.

“maybe this year will be different.” tanaka said, trying his best to come off a little flirty, but in a cool way. he wanted to be the man for her so bad.

“well, i sure hope it is.” kiyoko smiled, tanaka instantly blushing.

tanaka stood as kiyoko left the room with her mug. he didn’t really get any clues from that conversation, but it was worth it anyway because he at least he got to talk to her.

when he returned to his desk a minute later, a note appeared on his desk, just as mysterious as his gift from earlier. “suga? you know anything about this?”

“nope.” suga replied.

“typical.” tanaka scoffed as he picked up the note and read it aloud. “meet me in front of the warehouse at 5:30…”

woah. now things were really getting spicy in here. it was truly tanaka’s lucky day.

while tanaka tried analyzing the handwriting of the note over and over, a sudden commotion in the form of a delivery man struggling through the door with an oversized teddy bear on his back ruined tanaka’s concentration.

“god damn!” he exclaimed. tanaka definitely took the words right out of everyone’s mouths, yours included.

“yachi… hitoka.” the delivery man said out of breath, letting the teddy bear flop to the ground.

“uh… yachi?” you say to catch her attention. it shouldn’t even be a shock at this point. maybe you should blame tsukishima for forcing yamaguchi and yachi to confess their mutual crushes on each other months ago. all that teasing wasn’t enough, apparently.

“what—” yachi turned around. she immediately rushed out of her chair and leaped into the arms of the giant stuffed animal. “oh my god, i love it!”

you gently hit your head against the keyboard. no one seemed to notice your misery.

•••

“i officially give up on valentine’s day.” you let out a loud groan. the crew wondered if the sounds of your agony could be heard from the conference room. unfortunately, it did.

•••

the work day went back to normal, although yachi’s desk was littered with oversized gifts now. daichi couldn’t even see her face behind her computer screen anymore as her desk was crowded with bouquets and cards from yamaguchi. he truly outdid himself, even you couldn’t deny that. your jealousy still lingered, but at least yachi was happy.

without ukai around, you were glad to have a conversation with suga without the two of you being bothered. as he ate the fun dip you gave him earlier—only your most favorite people got the blue flavor—you recall a story from your junior high days.

“this kid gives him the twenty bucks and he actually snorts the pixy stix powder.” you say, detailing the end of your story.

“god, his poor nose…” suga cringed, although an idea popped into his mind. “hm, i wonder if i could snort this fun dip.”

“oh god, don’t!” you beg, grabbing his hand so he couldn’t do anything stupid. suga practically felt his heart jump out of his chest from the sudden contact, even if you didn’t seem to think anything of it. “i can’t lose you to silly candy.”

“it’s yummy though.” he grinned, swiftly moving on from the touch of your fingers grazing against his own, no matter how much he didn’t want to.

“yeah, on your tongue, not up your nose, dummy.” you scold him.

the two of you burst into laughter, the laugh fest interrupted by tanaka walking up to your desk. it seemed quite serious given his demeanor. “y/n. hi, how ya doing?”

“oh, hey—”

“good.” he cut you off. how rude. “listen, uh, may i speak with you... privately?”

“i’m kinda in the middle of a conversation…” you say, looking over to suga.

“y/n.” tanaka stared you down. he always did this when he was trying to get something he wanted. you knew him long enough to recognize the look.

“don’t give me that look, tanaka.” you cross your arms. “you don’t hold authority over me.”

“y/n, please just...” tanaka tilted his head, motioning for you to speak to him in another room. he really seemed desperate.

“do i have to?” you whine.

“love is on the line, dammit!” he yelled out, mayhaps a little too loud, but now you had no choice but to oblige.

“okay, okay!” you stand up from your chair. “let’s go then. sorry, suga.”

suga insisted it was no problem, but you still felt a little bad for cutting off your conversation like this. you and tanaka then walk out of the office and head into an empty hallway. if this was over nothing that important, you were going to be pissed.

“what is it that’s so urgent?” you ask tanaka.

“you’re a girl.” he said plainly. what a great start.

“well, unless my whole life has been a lie—”

“y/n. please.” tanaka interrupted, a pleading look in his eyes.

“sorry.” you say quietly.

“do you… recognize this handwriting at all?” he asked, taking out a card and folded note from his pocket. “it’s from my secret admirer.”

so that’s what this was about. you weren’t sure what tanaka wanted your help for so bad, but you figured it wouldn’t hurt to try and help him. “i guess i can take a look.”

tanaka handed you the notes and you inspect them carefully. it didn’t take you that long to figure out whose handwriting this belonged to. for you, it was clear as day.

“tanaka?”

“yeah?”

without saying another word, you smack him across the face, the sound of the slap echoing throughout the hallway. did your coworkers managed to hear that from inside the office? you sure hoped so. it was so satisfying, and the crew ate up the drama. this was peak television right here.

“what the heck was that for?!” tanaka yelled as his face now stung like hell. “i oughta file a complaint!”

“you’re such an idiot! it’s so obvious who wrote these!” you yelled back, forcing the notes back into his hands.

“well, who?!” he asked.

you purse your lips and cross your arms. you were going to play the petty game. “i’m not saying.”

“please, i’m begging!” tanaka exclaimed. “don’t make me get on my knees.”

“actually, i’d love to see that.” you say. if anyone was going to threaten you with a good time, then you’d accept it happily.

tanaka did exactly as he said he would, getting down on his knees as he gripped the sleeves of your sweater. this instantly made up for the shitty day you’ve had so far.

“y/n, please tell me whose handwriting this belongs to.” he begged.

his desperation was almost adorable. you knew who he wanted to be the person behind everything today. while you didn’t want to totally give away the surprise, you would be glad to give a hint and hope tanaka figured it out in enough time.

“all i’ll say is you better buy this person a lot of tenmusu later.” you tell him, hoping that served as a suitable clue.

“tenmusu…” tanaka tried thinking, but couldn’t come up with anything. “who the heck likes tenmusu?!”

“you know.” you smirk as you walk away. at least you could help someone else be happy today.

you walk back into the office by yourself. suga, now sitting at his desk, looked at you with a raised eyebrow. “what was that about?”

you eye tanaka as he walked back in, rubbing over your handprint on his cheek. you look over to kiyoko who doesn’t notice you’re looking at her nor that you’re aware of her secret identity.

“i’m cupid, biyotch.”

•••

it took tanaka five minutes to figure out who in this office likes tenmusu. he felt like he was on cloud nine if your hint was actually for real.

“could it… could it really be?” he questioned, almost in a love-filled daze. “if it’s really who i think it is, then i hope this dream never ends.”

•••

just what you needed to see, another delivery man. at least it wasn’t anything lavish this time, nor was it for yachi. it was merely a potted plant and a simple card. you would be glad to sign for the delivery man.

you walk over to kiyoko, yamaguchi, and tsukishima’s desks and place the plant in front of tsukishima, the receiver of said plant. “tsukki, it’s for you.”

“please don’t let it be from my mom…” he opened up the card. yeah, it was from his mom. “dammit.”

“haha, lonely, lonely tsukki once again.” yamaguchi laughed at him.

“shut up.” tsukishima rolled his eyes. “you’ve been around me too much, yamaguchi…”

“just be glad you got something today.” you say to him before heading back to your desk. when you return, ryo walked in. hopefully, he finally has the gift you’ve been waiting for all day.

“hey, babe.” he said as he leaned against your desk, watching as you sat down. “you almost ready to go? i’m gonna get the car warmed up.”

you look around. everything was filed in the right places, there weren’t any emails, and nobody was calling. there was nothing else for you to do, but you sure were bummed to have wasted your whole day mindlessly doing office work without any joy or pep in your step. “i guess, yeah.”

“what's wrong?” ryo asked, noticing you looked quite down. you know it’s bad if even he notices.

“nothing, it's just that i had to sit here all day while yachi got like an entire hallmark store delivered to her.” you say, letting out your frustrations. ryo wasn’t exactly the best person to go to when it came to your problems, but you hoped he’d just listen.

“what, are you mad at me or something?” he questioned. that wasn’t the point. he never understood the point.

“well, no—”

“then what’s the problem, y/n? i can’t read minds, ya know.” ryo scoffed.

there was no point in telling him what was wrong. he would never understand. could you really be chained to him for life like your families expected of you?

“nothing. it’s nothing.” all you could do is just bite your tongue. you’ve done it so much that it doesn’t even sting anymore.

“well, valentine's day isn't over, babe.” ryo said, trying to cheer you up, but miserably failing. “let’s get you home so i can light a candle and toss some rose petals on the bed or something.”

god. anything but that.

“i just have some things to finish up before i leave.” you lie to him. you just wanted a breather before the dreaded ride home, really.

“yeah, of course.” he replied.

once ryo left, you watch as everyone packed up for the day. tanaka seemed to be stalling his exit in hopes of catching his secret admirer earlier than the planned meetup time, but had no luck. you really wished for the best in his quest for love, especially when the one he wanted for so long.

“happy valentine’s day, y/n.” suga said on his way out.

“yeah, happy valentine’s day.” you reply. suga wouldn’t let you down like this, right? if only things were different. curse the expectations that rest as boulders on your back.

“goodnight, y/n.” yachi said as she and yamaguchi carried out her gifts together. lugging that massive teddy bear seemed to be the biggest struggle of all. at the very least, you didn’t have to deal with that monstrosity.

“night, you two…”

even if your valentine’s day wasn’t what you thought it would be, you hoped someone else—no matter who that may be—had a good day.

•••

(bonus scene)

tanaka waited outside the warehouse, his patience is wavering as it neared the meetup time. he had been dying for this all day, and it felt like time was going slower just for the sake of torturing him.

was this stupid? waiting around here like this? tanaka felt like a total idiot, that’s for sure. part of him almost thought this was one big prank, an insanely cruel one. if it was, then some ass kicking would definitely be in order.

just as tanaka was ready to say “screw it” and leave, his secret admirer finally appeared, the moment he had been waiting for all day. “tanaka.”

you weren’t playing around with your hint, it was kiyoko. come tomorrow, tanaka would give you the biggest hug in the whole world.

“kiyoko? it… it’s you?” he said breathlessly. “you’re my secret admirer?”

“mhm.” kiyoko shyly nodded.

tanaka still felt like he was dreaming. just the possibility felt like one, but knowing now that it truly was real, it was greater than the thought of pigs flying or finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

“why the anonymity?” he asked her. “you know i’d love anything as long as it’s from you. i mean, i asked you to marry me on my first day here, for christ’s sake.”

tanaka almost let out a laugh looking back at the memory of his first day. when he found out kiyoko would be showing him around the office, the words “marry me” slipped out of his mouth upon her introduction, almost like it came naturally. she didn’t seem phased one bit, simply saying “no” and moving on with the office tour as if nothing happened. kiyoko never once made fun of him for it, even if she had every opportunity to.

“i know. it seems so silly, but i just…” kiyoko paused. “i get shy with this kind of thing.”

“what do you mean?” tanaka asked. the moment of truth, he figured.

“i, uh…” instead of saying anything else, kiyoko gripped the collar of tanaka’s shirt and smashed her lips against his. it didn’t take long for him to reciprocate, immediately meshing against her lips. he felt like he was floating, but if anyone were to keep tanaka on the ground, it would always be kiyoko.

when she pulled away, tanaka immediately fell backwards, a loud smack against the pavement. that had to have hurt, but he truly couldn’t feel any pain after such a movie-like kiss.

“tanaka!” kiyoko gasped as she kneeled down to inspect him for any injuries. “are you okay?!”

“never felt better.” tanaka said, a dopey smile on his face. he truly was adorable in her eyes.

kiyoko softly grinned before helping tanaka back to his feet. the touch of her hand holding his finally allowed him to let the reality of the situation sink in; kiyoko actually liked him. no prank, no sick joke, all real. he couldn’t even fathom what he did to deserve such happiness.

“if it wasn’t obvious… i really like you, tanaka.” she said, any nerves she had throughout the day now faded away. “i’m sorry it took so long for me to catch up.”

“i’m just glad you made it.” he replied, tears forming in his eyes, all from pure joy.

tanaka leaned in to kiss kiyoko, finding solace with his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck. they kissed again, and again, and again, all without a care in the world. if tanaka could stay like this forever, he would. it felt safer this way.

“you wanna get some tenmusu?” tanaka asked as he pulled away.

“that’s my favorite.” kiyoko replied. “how’d you know?”

“a little birdie told me.” he shrugged, that birdie being you.

for tanaka, this was the best valentine’s day of his entire life. plus, nishinoya was certainly going to lose his mind when he found out about this. there’s truly nothing better than the girl he loved from the start finally feeling the same way.

Karasuno Hair Salon!AU headcanons

I went to get a haircut a while ago and my hairdresser had silver hair like Suga's and it inspired this whole mess. Also, I don't know much about the hair salon business so take this with a huge chunk of salt?? Mostly assessing based of the qualities of the characters. Do not look too closely because there will be gaps.

Characters: All of your Karasuno volleyball team favourites + Yachi, Kiyoko, Ukai, Takeda

Sawamura Daichi

He takes on a senior/ manager role, has plenty of experience under his belt.

Makes small talk with the customer

Knows the regulars by names

Assigns shifts

Trains the rest of the staffs and is fairly good at all the roles

Covers whoever who can't make it

He's respectful, cheerful, and a good yapper

Has won a couple of hairdressing awards

Mostly the go-to person for more experimental styles

Has contacts in the modelling and fashion department which brings in a ton of money for the salon

The less shy children would go up to him and demands he lifts them like a lil' plane

He will never say no

Man makes a mean matcha though

Shimizu Kiyoko

Handles the makeup and photography should anyone come in with needs for bridal makeup services and other events.

Works closely with Asahi

Sometimes, they'll be out in the city together for side quests

She's a woman of many talents so pre-booking required!!!

Has a popular Instagram account dedicated to the bridal looks, mostly spread through word-of-mouth

Ennoshita Chikara

The hair salon prides themselves on incredible service as how they were trained under Ukai Sr.. So expect a nice lil drink while getting your next hairdo. The person behind the delicious coffee? Ennoshita.

Personally handles the coffee stock and orders

Has a good working relationship with the roasteries in town

Ensures each cup of coffee will brighten up your day

Does some cute doodles sometimes on the cups

WILL NOT GIVE OUT PHONE NUMBERS!! MAN'S KEEPING IT PROFESSIONAL

Cakes and other drinks are served too

Kinoshita Hisashi

Don't tell me this guy isn't the biggest gossip in this place. He easily encourages his customers to talk more, and is good at giving advice and reacting in an affirming way.

Him and Suga is always on top with the neighbourhood tea

He isn't a snitch but will act dumb about the drama

Narita Kazuhito

He plays a regular hairstylist role but helps out with Kageyama at the hairwashing station on busier days.

Has an adaptable personality so Daichi pairs him with new customers to have a feel for their personality

Tanaka Ryuunosuke

What many don't know about him is that he is a rather creative and artistic guy.

Paints nails and does incredible nail art

Can get eerily focused unlike his usual loud self

Practices new skills on Kiyoko (HIS WIFE!!)

Kiyoko ofc gets compliments and directs them to her incredible husband

And he recommends his WIFE'S makeup and photography services

SUCH A COUPLE

BUSINESS IS BOOMING

BIG MONEY BIG MONEY

Will also rock some sick nail designs, man does not care

The team also enjoy getting their nails done by him

Hinata's down for whatever's brightly coloured and funky

Kageyama doesn't do colour but does a clear coat

The team usually play with colours and designs but no rhinestones for them since it can get in the way

Nishinoya Yuu

When you need a dye job, he's the man.

Gets very excited when someone needs his services

Will talk you through the process, how to care for your new hair, and recommends the right shade for your skin etc

Does a very thorough job in explaining it all

I feel like he will change that dyed part of his hair quite often. Different colours. Same part. It's kinda funny.

Is very patient throughout the process

Will send a complimentary cake your way as a thank you for the many hours it takes

Hinata Shouyou

Makes light conversation with the regulars when he gives them a haircut.

Loves it when customers give him free reign

Usually uses that opportunity to film those blind pick challenges

Star employee!! Despite being a little socially stunted

Is working on that though!!

Yamaguchi Tadashi

Apprentice under Ennoshita and handles social media with Yachi

Appears in their TikToks

Likes making different latte art designs. His current go to is a bear since it appeals to everyone. The peacock is a challenge though.

Brainstorms a lot of the content ideas with Yachi, but he's usually the face of it

Has a strong online presence though despite being a little shy in real life

Occasionally, he goes to Suga to ask for tips and learns from him. Suga's more than willing to share his knowledge!

Tsukishima Kei

I see him as taking this only as a part-time job though just for the money.

I see him working together with Daichi to go around giving free haircut to the community centres

He's being paid for it and that's fine by him

It's not the ideal part-time job but it's near his college, pays decently and fits his schedule

His best friend works there and enjoys it, so that's a little bit of a bonus too

I can imagine his brother being the type to be quite fond of caring for the community, so it rubs off on him a bit too

Daichi is understanding of his frank personality. In the end, it really is just a job so no big deal.

Yachi Hitoka

Handles marketing and social media.

It started as a kind deed to help the small business grow but ended up liking the team and stayed on.

Is definitely why they're blowing up online

Usually films the TikToks but plans the content with Yamaguchi

Very on trend, very quick on trends

Also knows who what the people want to see

Ukai Kenshin

Runs his mother's store but spreads the word about the hair salon.

His grandfather started hair salon, and when his dad married, his dad didn't realise that tending to the farm would be incredibly demanding and it was impossible to hold on to both businesses.

The hair salon went to his uncle for a while until he fell ill.

Somehow it fell into the hands of the Takeda family.

Completely entrusts it to the new team to run it.

Is very fond of the new team.

Takeda Ittetsu

He grew up going to the hair salon.

His grandfather used to hang out there with Ukai Sr. all the time.

They'd sit outside and have a smoke, next to lil Takeda who would be doing his homework.

Has many good memories with his grandfather at that hair salon.

So when it was struggling, he struck a deal to run it instead.

Now he's out building opportunities for them, getting them signed on with new businesses and partnerships.

He has a meeting with Shiseido next week.

[glitter-stained]

Btw I did write a bunch of haikyuu stuff a while ago if anyone's interested:

Blackbirdverse:

AU set right after the spring tournament, the Karasuno team all drops out and move to a different school in Miyagi, Kurotori, that didn't have a club, and found their own VBC there. Takeda is a teacher at Kurotori, Yachi is a student there, and Ukai is also there.

Birds of a feather (flock together): The story of the Kurotori club and the winter tournament. Everybody is traumatized, codependent and mistrustful, it's a really big mess, and they're all doing their best.

Shiver at your touch: Set right after chapter 48 of Birds of a Feather ( "Shimmers in the Snow"): Iwaizumi picks up the phone as Tooru calls for help with self-inflicted injuries.

A Tale of Two Brothers: Osamu reminisces on the worst time of his life; Atsumu writes a difficult letter. They'll be alright, eventually.

The Odd, the Marvellous and the Hidden Mystical

Taking a 180° turn because whimsy is fun and I like reading wikipedia articles about fantasy creatures:

Two Kids in a Trenchcoat, Halloween Edition:

As the MBSY Black Jackals design an intensive team-building program, friends and teammates Hinata Shouyou, Bokuto Koutarou, Miya Atsumu and Sakusa Kiyoomi find themselves sharing a dorm. Although the apartment is nice enough, this doesn’t bode well for one of them, who hides a mysterious, fantastical secret.

Iwaizumi Hajime's pratical guide on how to deal with the fae: There are several rules, his grandma taught him as a child, one must respect in order to be safe from the trickery of the fae folk. Upon meeting his roommate in college, Hajime manages to break every single one of them.

Or: Five times Iwaizumi suspected Oikawa of being fey (and the one time he didn’t care)

Miscellaneous one-shots:

On the Art of Suiting the Action to the Word:

"Oh thank god. I thought I was gonna kill myself for a second there."

"... What."

Or, the Shiratorizawa team doesn't like how Tendou talks about death.

Mistlefoe:

From Drunkauntsuga on Instagram:

Kyoutani: "Here's a fun Christmas idea. We hang misteltoe, but instead of kissing, you have to FIGHT whoever else is under it."

Or: It's the Aoba Josai Christmas party, and Kyoutani wants to fight. Yahaba takes him on.

The Entire World hates your guts: Sometimes, it feels like the entire world really, really, hates Tooru. Or maybe it's the fact that he really, really hates himself.

In which Tooru learns that he can't mend the cracks in his smile with glitter glue (and that he doesn't have to.)

Speak your truth (the world will quiet to listen): Ushijima Wakatoshi is not good at people. That is a fact he has grown to accept, and with his socially intelligent boyfriend by his side, he has long since learned to navigate a world that was not made for him. But when Hinata Shouyou reaches out to him for help on a serious matter, it's up to the ace to read between the lines and uncover the boy's unspoken words.

Tonight, know you are loved: At first, he doesn’t see it. There is no man here on the bridge, but a creature is looking up at him from the pavement. It looks like smoke curled up in the shape of a fox, nine wispy tails twirling behind it.

" Ye here to take my soul or something ?"

Or : Atsumu reaches the edge of himself. Somehow, this is not the end.

I Cannot Be Normal About @weathertheraine’s Hadestown!AU And Now I Have Extra Thoughts About My Own Version

I had never listened to Hadestown before, but I saw this AU and I needed to understand the parallels being drawn. Fast forward a week and I’ve consumed the album multiple times over and spent hours wrestling with thoughts on casting choices. I can’t explain to you how much time I spend in my document titled “The Big-Ass Doc Of Haikyuu!!AUs,” but I can promise you it’s a high number, and this scenario made it higher.

Anyway! Here are my thoughts because I just want to share them! For the anime-only fans, there’s some super vague and broad allusions to the remaining manga arcs, and I do use the names of the remaining arcs, but you’re safe from any huge and specific spoilers. Again, please check out my inspiration in @weathertheraine’s incredible takes!

CAST #1

Ukai

Hermes

So there’s an argument for it to be Takeda instead because he’s generally more of a caretaking figure than Ukai, but my thinking here is that season 2 moment when he chases Kageyama down to tell him he wants him to figure out how to toss in a new way to help Hinata fight in midair (y’know, aerial combat and whatnot); Ukai knows and supports Hinata in the way that Hermes is privy to Eurydice’s plights, but I don’t think the reverse is true for Takeda, who I don’t believe is ever shown to watch out for Kageyama in the ways Ukai is; and as a former setter himself, I think it makes sense for Ukai to be the one who is the caregiver of Orpheus!Kageyama

Kageyama

Orpheus

Now, I understand that this is kind of a CRAZY thing to say, ‘cuz Orpheus is supposed to be a ray of hope and sunshine trying to restore spring to a dying world—and that sounds so much more like Hinata than Kageyama; BUT! Hear me out here!; the end of the musical is the most convincing evidence that this can work because Kageyama canonically has abandonment and trust issues, plus trauma literally centered on not being able to trust that someone is behind him—so of course he’s gonna turn around to see if the one he loves has remained on his tail as he walks through fire and darkness

Hinata

Eurydice

So the fascinating thing about this casting is that while Hinata is a bona fide ray of sunshine and hope in a way that Eurydice is not, it is also canonically true that he is poorer and scrappier than Rich Boy Kageyama, which gives “Eurydice was a hungry young girl” better than Kageyama ever could imo; also, in line with the ending of the show, Eurydice never faltered in following Orpheus, and so too is it true that Hinata promised—and followed through on it—that he would always be at Kageyama’s back; also I don’t mean to give Hinata too much credit ‘cuz I’ve seen the analyses and I know any and everyone would turn around—but if anyone could manage to not turn around, it really is Mr. I-Spike-With-My-Eyes-Closed-Because-You-Told-Me-You-Would-Send-Me-The-Ball-And-I-Believed-You, and I want to honor that by not making Hinata the one who dooms the narrative

Oikawa

Hades

Now it hurts me to do this because Oikawa, for all his deep-seated issues and many flaws, is not a bad man or a villain, and he is, in fact, such a spring child in my head a la Persephone; BUT, if Hades cannot simply allow Orpheus and Eurydice to walk out of the Underworld because he fears losing power and control of his empire by capitulating to Orpheus’s request, then Oikawa—who canonically almost slapped a child out of fear of his own inferiority—is the only choice; I also have to love that Oikawa was supposed to be a mentor for Kageyama, and in a way it then makes sense that Kageyama would know in his heart the song that Oikawa had once sung

Iwaizumi

Persephone

There is literally only one choice for a Hades!Oikawa, I don’t even need to explain myself (“You’re early, Shittykawa”); but it’s also worth mentioning that Kageyama had a noticeably better relationship with Iwaizumi than Oikawa in much the same way that Orpheus and Persephone had a pretty chill relationship and Persephone even went to bat for Orpheus the way Iwa stopped Oikawa from hitting Kageyama

Kindaichi

Fate 1

So choosing The Fates for me is where things get SUPER interesting when you play around with who of KageHina is Orpheus and Eurydice; if we lean into the crux of Kageyama’s arc being him and Orpheus sharing this insatiable urge to look back because they simply cannot trust that the one they love has not abandoned them, then The 3 Fates who sing “Doubt Comes In” have to embody Kageyama’s times of deepest fear and doubt, which means Kindaichi—who turned away from Kageyama in middle school and literally tells Hinata that he should abandon Kageyama before Kageyama abandons him—MUST be included

Kunimi

Fate 2

Similar to Kindaichi, Kunimi is another representation of that middle school abandonment that fucked Kageyama up so badly, so we must include him as a voice of doubt

Tsukishima

Fate 3

And Tsukishima Kei, my beloathed boy whom I understand and love so deeply, is the most persistent external voice that rubs Kageyama’s abandonment in his face; the Karasuno kids by and large are content to let Kageyama’s past remain in the past—they trust who he can be to the team now; but Tsukki, damn him, was so INSISTENT on holding Tobio’s King of the Court title over his head, which is absolutely a way to keep doubt nagging at the back of one’s mind

CAST #2

*Hermes, Orpheus, Eurydice, Hades, and Persephone are the same, but The Fates change

Hoshiumi

Fate 1

Now if we focus more on the general role of The Fates in the show rather than just “Doubt Comes In,” they’re actually far more tied into the narration and progression of Eurydice’s story, so this arrangement of Fates is people who interact with Kageyama and influence his growth but are actually deeply invested in Hinata; my friend @volleybuoys is the expert here, but I’ve actively listened to the preaching of the Hoshiumi (and HoshiHina) gospel, and it’s true to say that Hinata’s entire worldview on who he wanted to become shifted when he encountered Hoshiumi; and if that doesn’t make a man qualified to and worthy of singing another man’s life story, then I simply don’t know what could

Atsumu

Fate 2

‘Tsumu, my other beloathed (begrudgingly affectionate); from telling Kageyama he was a goody-goody at the All-Japan training camp—which set his self-concept upside down for a minute there—to pointing at Hinata across the court and declaring that he would one day set for him, much as I may hate to admit it, Atsumu is actually essential to the Haikyuu!! story from both Kageyama and Hinata’s perspectives, and as such, it sort of uniquely situates him for the role of a Fate

Tsukishima

Fate 3

This fucker (affectionate) stays in the lineup because as much as he antagonizes Kageyama, the Hinata & Tsukki sun-moon dynamic compliance is too powerful to not count him as a force in Hinata’s life; they really do fuel each other as quietly but explicitly declared rivals (second season training camp, fourth season training camp and the Brazil and Final Arcs all really proved to be paradigm shifts for their relationship)

CAST #3

Takeda

Hermes

Okay so I touched on this in my explanation of Hermes!Ukai for Orpheus!Kageyama, but every time I think too long about Takeda’s role in Hinata’s life from season four onward, I genuinely get a little verklempt—because the reason Takeda cares about volleyball in Hinata’s life is because he cares about Hinata; every piece of advice and moment of mentorship is about helping Hinata in life—it just happens to be through a volleyball lens; and the Brazil Arc shows us in no uncertain terms that those guiding principles are so deeply ingrained in Hinata’s heart; so although Ukai has been shown to foster Hinata’s volleyball development in HUGE and meaningful ways in seasons 2 and 4 and the Brazil Arc, if I want my Orpheus to be cared for, if I want his light and song to be supported and nurtured, there is no one more fitting or deserving of the role of Hermes than Takeda-sensei

Hinata

Orpheus

So, aside from the obvious of “He could make you see how the world could be, in spite of the way that it is,” there is, of course, Hinata’s steadfast determination to stay doggedly on Kageyama’s heels for ten straight years, which gives “Wait For Me” on a scale hitherto unseen and unachieved by Orpheus!Kageyama

Kageyama

Eurydice

Having been abandoned before, a Eurydice!Kageyama makes a lot of sense in that he would absolutely fear the changing of the winds sweeping him away from someone who turns out to be another fairweather friend full of empty promises of support and shelter; he knows cruelty in the world in a way that feels maybe a touch more real than Eurydice!Hinata

Tsukishima

Hades

Now this one was a really fun thought experiment and decision because you need someone who would oppose Orpheus!Hinata having the power to walk out of the Underworld freely with his beloved—which, given the number of people who fall in love with Hinata and wouldn’t necessarily bar him, is no easy task; but we’ve seen that Tsukki hates to lose to Hinata in particular, and I could see him being willing to lure a restless, desperate, lonely, and naive Kageyama who doesn’t know what kind treatment looks like down to The Underworld (I swear I don’t think badly of Tsukishima Kei, cross my heart)

Yamaguchi

Persephone

Aside from the natural match that a Hades!Tsukki implies, much like Persephone, Yamaguchi has spent time watching someone he loves turn into a crueler and crueler version of himself, and it’s getting harder and harder for him to stick by his side just waiting around and watching it happen; plus, if you’ve ever seen any of the astounding genderwarped and trans art of Yamaguchi that exists on the internet, you know that anything Persephone wears, Yamaguchi could slay in

Suga

Fate 1

Sugawara is another great example of someone with a vested interest in both Hinata and Kageyama; it feels like when he sings “Doubt Comes In,” it would be his own doubts that he was voicing rather than Hinata’s actual thoughts; this is pretty analogous to the first couple seasons when we see Hinata getting nervous before matches based on his interpretations and internalization of other people’s expectations—and perhaps the biggest argument for why Hinata would turn around and look back

Oikawa

Fate 2

Seasons 1 and 2 absolutely matter here, BUT THE HOLY AND SANCTIFIED ****** ARC MIGHT MATTER MOST (OiHina shippers, you KNOW what I’m talking about—we KNOW they danced the night away); anyway, Oikawa is a shining example of what could be for both Hinata and Kageyama in terms of pursuit of a dream and inspiration to a team; he supports Hinata in the most unlikely of places, and their friendship matters a lot to me; Hinata is even part of the reason for Oikawa’s eventual return (bless up for the bonus chapter); it’s also worth mentioning that while Oikawa always came from a place of more privilege than Hinata, his story is much more in line with Hinata’s in that he knows what it is to fight tooth and nail to live up to the expectations that being around a volleyball genius sets up; when Oikawa sings “Go ahead and lay the blame, talk of virtue, talk of sin—wouldn’t you have done the same in her shoes, in her skin?” it’s because he KNOWS firsthand the temptation of surrender

Atsumu

Fate 3

Same reasoning as Cast #2; bonus that The Fates are all Pretty Setter Squad this time

This was a long post!!! But I have a lot of thoughts, and this is honestly one of the shorter AUs that bounces around my head. I’ll probably post more of my ATLA!AU soon, but we’re starting with this Hadestown one!

Many thanks again to @teddy-takeda for the amazing material that my brain has been rotating endlessly the past week and to my homie @volleybuoys for sitting me down all those months ago to explain why Hoshiumi is one of the most vital yet underrated characters of the series!

♡˖°꒰ ukai keishin x fem! reader

❥  t/w  |  nsfw, daddy kink, spanking, hair pulling, very light degradation, 18 y/o manager

»  keishin can’t wrap his head around his feelings for you.

Karasuno’s manager...

The team’s manager...

It lingers in the back of his mind as he moves, cock being sucked in and swallowed by your sopping pussy.

He’s angry at how you make him feel, angry at how this was his idea in the beginning and now he’s the one that’s caught up. He’s the one letting his emotions get the best of him.

“Daddy!” you gasp. “Go harder, please!” 

Your voice brings him back in the moment. Your hands are fisting the sheets, trying to ground yourself before you get too lost in the euphoric feeling of Keishin’s long cock pressing flush against that sweet spot, thrust after thrust. He can’t help but be somewhat resentful at how you don’t seem the slightest bit bothered by his intentions, by his ultimatum.

He twists your arm behind your back, other hand rooted into your hair as he fucks you like no tomorrow. You’re drooling from both ends, dirtying his bedsheets and he loves the sight of you cock hungry and ruined.

“You’re such a stupid little girl,” he mutters. “So fucking dirty and stupid.”

He pulls your hair, harshly tugging on the roots making you cry out before he releases his hold. You can feel his hand coming down hard on your ass. There’s already bruises from your other escapades, so the pain lingers as if it’s a bad memory like the time he made you choose between the team’s success and... It wasn’t about that anymore— for you at least. Keishin’s your boyfriend, the greatest person on this earth. He’s the man who makes sure you’re fine. The man who makes sure you have everything and anything imaginable.

But he knows he’s a piece of shit, knows he shouldn’t like the way his name sounds coming out of your mouth. 

Keishin hates the way the chain on your neck dangles with every thrust because it only reminds him that he’s the one who bought it for you. It reminds him that he has a gold ring on his hand matching with you. The metal seems to burn into your skin with how tight he’s holding you. It glimmers in the moonlight and it reminds him of the time he fucked you over the stores counter. The lights were off and the only illumination was the light of the moon coming in through the windows.

‘K’ hangs from your neck in pretty gold with a ring next to it. You never wore it out in the open. It was always under your uniform, but the one day you do slip up—

‘That’s odd because normally teachers and students don’t have matching rings,’ Takeda chastises him one day after practice. He sighs, ‘Look... even though you're not fully faculty you'd still get in trouble. You need to be careful, Ukai...’

He can hear the clicking of the metal, the clicking of your pussy every time he thrusts back in. His hand comes down on your ass again and again and again. Then there’s the clicking of the bed moving as he starts going faster, wood flooring being scratched to hell and back.

“Keishin!” you wail.

“That’s not my name right now, pretty girl.”

He can feel the arm he’s holding twist and writhe. He knows you’re trying to grab onto him, trying to have any semblance of connection like you’re not connected in the deepest way possible. It’s like he’s not balls deep inside of you— like he hasn’t put load after load in your fertile little womb.

His eyes are hard as they burn into the back of your head and suddenly his hand is grabbing your hair again. He’s pulling it making your back arch in the most delicious way possible.

“I’m sorry, daddy! I’m s-sorry!” You’re gasping because there are too many things happening. It’s like he’s rearranging your guts with the way he seems to be hitting every spot that makes you moan and cry out... it’s too much.

“You let anyone on the team fuck you like this, huh?!” he snaps.

“N-No! No, daddy, just you! Always you! Only you!”

Your mind is scrambling like Keishin is scrambling to stop his emotions for you, but he’s in too deep... metaphorically and physically. He lets go of your hair once again, coming down to rest against your body, and his arm wraps around your waist. The hand holding your arm behind your back moves so that he’s holding your hand in a ruthless grip. The side of your face is pressed into the mattress as you mewl.

“Keishin...”

You can feel his lips on your skin. He’s going over the faded marks, making sure every inch of you is covered in him.

“Keishin... I love you.”

He falters, lips coming to a stop and hips stuttering. You can feel him bite down when your walls flutter around his length, pussy pulsing and gushing. He bites down even harder as he shoots ropes of his virile seed into you.

The silence makes your heart race. Did you mess things up? Does he not feel the same way? Oh fuck, you knew you were just a fling, just a distraction in the meantime until he—

The wetness on your skin stops your scrambling thoughts.

“I love you too, y/n,” he whispers into your skin, hand giving yours a small squeeze.

You turn your head to face him and it’s immediate when your lips connect. You can feel him rolling his hips into you and the way his warm muscle is swapping spit with yours has drool leaking down onto the already wrecked bedsheets. There are squelching and moans that can be heard within his bedroom walls.

He knows he’s a piece of shit, but he’ll be damned if he let you go on thinking he didn’t love you.

»  a/n  |  it’s been a while since i’ve written anything for ukai and manager. for some reason, i get feral at the thought of keishin making reader wear something that marks her as his.

Part2 Part3 Part4 Part5 Part6 Part7 Part8 Part9 Part10 part11part12 part13 part14 part15 part16 part17 part18

*Just look at him, hygienic cutie how doesn’t he have more simps*

You heard your phone vibrate on the bathroom counter, likely from Daichi, your boyfriend of nearly 2 years. You meet him when he was in 2nd year of high school while you were in your first. His Captain asked him to look for an assistant for Takeda as the poor man was stressed out enough by handling the club alone since Coach Ukai senior left. Kiyoko wasn’t enough, he heard from your classmates that your parents have degrees in Sports Science and even worked with the Japanese national team. You started crushing on him the second you saw him, his brown doe eyes and cute smile mixed with his deep voice just made you melt on the spot. He felt the same and the more time you two spent together, the bigger the crush went. So he asked you out after weeks of teasing from his teammates (mostly from Tanaka, Nishinoya and Suga), even Kiyoko teased you slightly about your crush on the captain.

Now it has been nearly two years, and you are weeks away from your 2nd anniversary. He is Captain of the Volleyball club now, in his last year of high school while you are in your 2nd. Having this curveball thrown at you was the worst. Your phone kept ringing, making you put aside the positive pregnancy test aside with a sigh. Reaching for your phone seeing Daichi’s name,” Hello!” you whispered,” Y/N, I was getting worried your usually quick with answering my calls” he chuckled,” Y/N?” he said after not hearing an answer,” mmmh?”,” Is everything okay?”,” Can you come over? I have to tell you something. My parents aren’t home at the moment” you said playing with your school skirt,” Yeah, of course, I’m on way. Love you”,” Love you” you said before hanging up. You dragged yourself out of the bathroom with the test in hand, you plopped down on the couch looking at your phone screen seeing an image of you kissing Daichi’s cheek while his eyes closed and carrying a cute smile on his face,” Please don’t leave me Dai”. A knock on your door made you gulp,” Here goes nothing”.

Daichi was bouncing on his heels having a weird feeling in his stomach. You've been acting weird since yesterday and didn’t wait after school to give him a kiss before he goes to practice like you usually do. The second you open your door, Daichi saw something was wrong and pulled you into a hug,” what is it baby”, you didn’t answer but just grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. You sat him down on the couch and began playing with his calloused fingers,” You remember how close, how physically close we got over the holidays?” you asked,” Of course, I enjoyed every second of it. With the new school year, I know I have been busy but we got new members and we are still looking for a coach..” he began rambling. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose,” I want to be that close to you again y/n, so badly but-“,” it’s not that, it’s the opposite of that. I wished we never did it” you said making Daichi heartbreak,” What?”,” As if never did, we wouldn’t be in this situation” you said pulling out the test from your jacket pocket and handing it to Daichi.” How many test did you take?” he asked quietly,” Only one” you said plays with his jacket sleeve,” I get you more, just to be sure. We can than see further” he said making you nod. He got up, pulling out his wallet from his sports bag,” I will be back in a minute” he said.

Many things went through his mind while walking toward the store. What are they going to do if Y/N is pregnant, how will they finance it, and should she get an abortion, we will get shamed by everyone if they went through with the pregnancy. Daichi shook his head when he arrived at the store, “Let’s just prove it further first Daichi” he mumbled. The manager of the store sat at the register, reading the newspaper while smoking. He quickly walked past him making the blond look up at him, he recognised the name of the club he was part of,” Hopefully it’s not another try of specs to get me to join that club” he mumbled going back to his paper.

Daichi grabbed 3 tests alongside some other things for you. Ice cream, chocolate and chips. He headed for the register, his face heating up when the man saw the pregnancy test,” how old are you kid?” he asked,” Just turned 18” Daichi mumbled,” It’s just-“,” Don’t want to know kid, I’m not your parent” he said scanning the items. Daichi bowed his head after paying and quickly walked out,” Kids having Kids, tch” he said opening his newspaper again when he saw a certain brunette again,” I told you I don’t want to join” he said getting up.

The wait felt stretched out like you have been waiting for years and not minutes. When the timer went off you looked at Daichi who gave you a warm smile and kissed your temple,” I love you” he said reaching for the tests and giving you one,” On 3. 1,2,3″ positive all 3 of them were positive.” Dai, I’m so sorry-”,” What are you sorry for? I had a part of it too you know. And I don’t regret sleeping with you, and I will stand whatever decision you make” he said,” Are you not scared?”,” I am and we should have been more careful but it happened” he said kissing your temple again. You licked your lips and smiled up at him,” Let’s make an appointment with the doctors, I want to know our option” Daichi hummed in agreement.

The next day at practice, Daichi was shocked to see the guy from the store,” Hey kid, surprised seeing me here?” he said putting his hands into his pockets,” Yeah.... you haven’t told -”,” Told your teacher that you might have knocked up your girl? No, not my place to do it... so is she?” Daichi looked at the floor nodding,” Well then, nothing you can change about that, I’m your new coach by the way so if you need anything, it’s Ukai by the way” he said with a nod. Daichi’s eyes widen,” Ukai?..Like-”,” Yeah, my grandpa, anyway kid, which one of you is the Captain?” he asked looking around the gym as it was slowly filling up with the team. Daichi blushed and scratched the back of his neck,” Me”. Ukai looked at him and laughed,” Well then Captain, hope you are responsible as a Captain” he smirked making Daichi blush even more.

The next day, the two of you sat in the doctor's office, your leg was bouncing up and down, the sound of the clock alongside the leg bouncing was the only sound filling the room. The few other people in the waiting room gave you judging looks but didn’t say anything. This just made you even more nervous,” Don’t worry about them” Daichi said grabbing your hand, softly rubbing the back of your hand with his rough thumb.” Y/L, Y/N” a nurse called out making you Daichi get up.

“Here is your baby,” the doctor said pointing at a small blob on the screen.” wow” Daichi mumbled,” Our baby” he added still in a soft whisper. You turned your head and saw the look on Daichi’s face, he seemed to be in a trance.” I assume, the baby wasn’t planned?” the doctor said handing you a wipe to clean the gel off your stomach. You nodded making her give you a tight smile,” You have three options, abortion, adoption after the delivery and keeping it. If you choose abortion if that can be done until week 12, and you are in your 10th. Give us a call when your decision is made”.

The walk home was quiet, Daichi was holding your hand while looking at the ultrasound.” You want to keep it right?”,” Huh?”,” The baby Daichi, you want to keep it”. Daichi sighed and stopped,” It doesn’t matter, what I want, it’s your body, so you choose. I will be happy whatever your decision is” he kissed your temple and stroked your cheek,” Give me a day or two, and will tell you my decision”. Daichi nodded and stuffed the ultrasound into his jacket pocket before continue walking you home.

HAIKYUU X THE OFFICE AU — EPISODE ONE: JAPAN PULP AND PAPER, THIS IS Y/N

pairing: sugawara koushi x female reader

description: chaos ensues when the miyagi branch of japan pulp and paper allow a documentary crew to capture their day-to-day lives in the office.

word count: 3.3k

also available to read on my ao3 here

author’s note: another work from my ao3 that i really wanted to share! i posted this back in july, and i definitely intend to write more. i refuse to let this go without writing casino night. like, come on. it’s too good! for some context, you as the reader are essentially pam, while sugawara is jim, ukai is michael, the list goes on. some characters don’t really reflect any office counterparts, but that’s okay. you can imagine i’ll be going through the motions of that torturous jim and pam slow burn but with my own pizazz. also, text in bold and italics are the interviewing part, if that makes sense. hopefully it’s a smooth transition. anyway, i hope you enjoy!!!

“are we rolling?” ukai asks the camera crew and they nod in response. “alright, cool, cool, cool.”

he takes a deep breath before doing various ridiculous vocal and physical exercises, some you would take straight out of a children’s choir practice. he even got out of his chair and tried to squat before he realized he could rip his pants right at the beginning of the documentary. one could hope it wouldn’t make it to the final edit, but it probably will anyway.

“ahem.” he coughs. “i’m keishin ukai, regional manager. um, i’ve been working at japan pulp and paper for about twelve years now, but i’ve been the regional manager for the past few years.”

“let’s try taking a tour of the office floor.” a camera guy proposes since they were currently cramped in ukai’s office.

“oh, you want a change of scenery? yeah, i can do that. come on, let’s go.” ukai stands up and allows the camera crew to make their way out before he exited as well. there was much, much more room to film around, thank god.

“welcome to my humble abode, aka the office floor.” he began, then made his way to the reception desk where you sat. you kind of hoped you wouldn’t be filmed right off the bat, but here you were with a camera now in your face. “starting off here, we have our receptionist, y/n. say hi to the camera, y/n.”

“hello, camera.” you shyly wave, then try to hand ukai a piece of paper. “by the way, you have a fax.”

“unimportant.” he immediately brushes it off.

“it’s from corporate—“ you try to say, but he interrupts you.

“y/n over here notoriously once dated a guy named mad dog. seriously. that was his name.” ukai whispers to the camera, although you could hear him clear as day, same with the microphone one of the crew members held above you two.

“i thought we agreed to never talk about that again, ukai.” you groan.

“i’m not known to be a truther, y/n.” he shrugs. “anyway, that doesn’t matter anymore because she’s engaged now. well, she’s been engaged for three years. bummer.”

“i’m just going to shred this fax—“

“woah, woah, woah. let’s not do that!” ukai interrupts you, reaching out for the fax you threateningly held over the shredder. “come on, gimme the fax.”

you stare into the camera and hand the fax to ukai.

•••

“as you can tell, i don’t exactly love it here. i mean, it pays alright, but i don’t think anybody dreams of becoming a receptionist.” you say to the documentary crew, forcing a laugh as you’re being interviewed separately. “i wanted to be an actress. as you can tell, that’s not going so well since i still work here. at least there are a couple of good things that come from working here, i suppose.”

•••

“i have to go to the bathroom.” hinata and kageyama announce at the same time. the camera crew turns their attention from you and ukai to them instead. this could be good… maybe.

“i bet i can make it to the bathroom faster!” they yell, again, in unison and rush through the doors to race to the bathroom. unfortunately, it was a tie like always.

“don’t mind them, that’s just hinata and kageyama. always got this weird ass tension, those two.” ukai rolled his eyes. “welp, anyway.”

as ukai scanned the office to think of who else he could bother, ahem, introduce to the cameras, a certain gray-haired salesman quietly whispered to himself at his desk, hoping he wouldn’t be next. after seeing what you went through, he didn’t want to be the next victim. “no, no, no, no, no…”

unfortunately, he was next.

“ah, perfect.” ukai clapped his hands together. “suga! my favorite prematurely gray sales guy!”

“how many times do i have to say my hair is ash blonde?” the young salesman groaned, pouting towards the camera.

“whatever helps you sleep at night.”

suga grumbles at his boss, who blissfully ignores him. “ah, tanaka, assistant—“

“sir, ukai, sir!” tanaka gets up from his chair quicker than one could blink, standing up as straight as possible, almost as if he’d break his spine if he tried to stand any straighter, with his hand to his forehead like a soldier speaking to his captain.

“why are you saluting at me? this is a paper company, not the army.” ukai says in disgust.

“because it feels right...?” tanaka replies hesitantly, slowly slouching back to normal posture.

“ugh, get out of my face. you ruined your intro.” ukai scoffs as he walks away, leaving tanaka with a pout.

•••

later when tanaka speaks to the documentary crew, he breaks out into tears, almost a little too dramatically. “i try so hard to receive that man’s approval. and kiyoko’s love…”

the poor guy thinks he’ll get nominated for an emmy because of this.

•••

a tall man walks in with a man bun. one could even compare him to a samurai, you think. his presence startles everyone in the office upon his arrival, but you keep your cool. well, unlike someone else you know.

“oh, my god! please don’t murder me, i’m begging you!” yachi screams out at the top of her lungs as she runs out of the office in a flash.

the mysterious man stands confused over the blonde rushing out. he looks at you shyly, so you greet him nicely and decide in your head that today was not the day to use your pepper spray.

“hi, can i help you?”

“um.” he coughs. “i’m azumane asahi from the temp agency. i was sent down to start today.”

oh… that checks out.

“oh, yeah!” you say cheerily as you waive those previous thoughts away. “i’ll get you introduced to mr. ukai.”

you show asahi to ukai’s office, knocking on the door before you’re allowed in. “hey, ukai?”

“mhm?” he looks up from his computer.

“this is azumane asahi. he’s from the temp agency.” you inform him.

“nice to meet y—“ asahi begins to speak before his words are interrupted.

“my god, how old are you?” ukai stands up to inspect asahi’s face. you could sense the poor new temp screaming in his head for dear life, so you mouth to him to just roll with it.

“twenty-three…” he stumbles with his response.

“jesus! you look like you’re heading toward a midlife crisis!” ukai exclaims.

you gasp at your boss and pull him away from asahi whose face is as red as a tomato. “ukai! you can’t just say that to people right in their face! you’re such a meanie!”

•••

“you know, people say i’m very harsh, but i think i just simply state what i think, and i think a lot of crazy shit.” ukai laughs at the camera. the crew quite literally thinks he’s clinically insane. “unless hr says something to me, i’m not stopping this ol’ noggin of mine. just like how i refuse to quit smoking...”

•••

knock knock on ukai’s door once more. it’s takeda this time around, who’s the sole part of hr. ukai’s relationship with him isn’t a love-hate one as the love part of it is dead silent. takeda thinks it’s all in good fun, unfortunately.

“ukai, i think we need to have a discussion,” takeda speaks calmly.

ukai slams his hands on his desk and stands up. “specs, you ignorant slut. i’m going out to smoke a cigarette.”

the camera crew proceeds to follow ukai as he goes outside to smoke. he’s unaware that they’re right behind him, so when he looks around to see if anyone is watching him, his soul almost leaps out of his body when he sees a bunch of filming equipment surrounding him as he tries to light a cigarette.

he takes a couple of puffs before addressing the camera, waving around his cigarette as he spoke, which made the crew worry as they tried oh so carefully to protect their extremely expensive equipment.

“yeah, i smoke.” he rolls his eyes. “i’ve tried quitting plenty of times, but it’s like mcdonald’s. even when you say you don’t want anything, you still find yourself stealing somebody’s fries.”

ukai had to make note of how oddly deep that sounded.

after finishing his smoke, ukai headed back inside the office, only to be met with chaos thanks to tanaka and nishinoya annoying kiyoko, a particularly drop-dead gorgeous employee, like always.

“daichi! pry tanaka and nishinoya away from kiyoko! their flirting skills are pathetic and we don’t need any lawsuits around here!” ukai yelled out first thing, pointing his finger at daichi to stop the embarrassment that was his employees.

“on it…” he sighed as he grabbed the two men by the backs of their shirts and dragged them away despite their pleas.

•••

“that was flirting?” kiyoko laughs hysterically at the camera. the camera crew shrugs. unfortunately, their googly eyes and drooling mouths as they asked how her day has been was flirting.

•••

“look, me and tanaka have been trying to woo kiyoko for years. one of us has to succeed, right? and by one of us, i mean me.“ nishinoya says confidently and the crew can’t help but snicker at him based on what kiyoko said to them earlier. he gives them the death glare in response and they immediately stop.

•••

long after the chaos died down, tanaka opens his desk drawer and reveals a plate with his stapler inside jell-o. he’s ultimately taken by surprise, almost unable to form words as to why this has happened to him.

“what…?” he asks himself quietly.

suga, sitting at the desk across from him, tries his best to resist the urge to grin while he plays dumb. “what? what’s wrong?”

“my stapler… is in jell-o,” tanaka says, staring at the plate.

“jell-o? lemme see!” hinata perks up from his desk and runs over to see the phenomenon, just as entranced as tanaka is.

“woah, how did that happen, buddy?” suga continues his act, this time cracking a smile as he watched hinata crouch down and poke the jell-o.

“stop poking it, hinata.” kageyama scoffs, but hinata doesn’t waver one bit.

“i… don’t know,” tanaka replies. it was like his brain literally couldn’t wrap around the situation. how could this be? he didn’t know how to put two and two together. suga found it insanely hilarious, but when he looked over and saw your little snicker as you quickly covered your mouth, it made it a million times better for him.

“obviously, suga did it, you idiot.” tsukishima rolled his eyes as he looked over at everybody with his classic resting bitch face.

“tsukki!” yamaguchi scolded him. “don’t ruin it…”

•••

“i did not get this job to endure immature pranks, especially from someone whose hair went gray before their balls dropped,” tsukishima said in a monotone voice, staring down the camera like it would become his murder victim.

•••

“how do you feel about tsukishima?”

“i’m gonna put his glasses in jell-o next,” suga said to the camera with a smile, proud of his previous work.

•••

as the day progressed, you went into the break room to eat a mid-day snack, but when you opened the fridge, you found that it was gone. “oh, no…”

“y/n? what’s up?” suga asks as he walks in, noticing the look of disappointment on your face.

you shut the refrigerator door and cross your arms, scanning the faces of your fellow employees in the break room. tanaka and nishinoya were too busy eating the jell-o from earlier in hopes to access the stapler, so you assumed it wasn’t them, but then again, you had your doubts. yamaguchi silently sipped his coffee and avoided your gaze, but you found him to be typically shy anyway, so you crossed him off.

“who ate my yogurt? come on, that was my favorite yogurt. who did it?” you ask aloud.

silence.

“meanies.” you roll your eyes and walk toward tanaka and nishinoya. “gimme a bite of that stupid jell-o.”

“mine!” they yell in unison, protecting the gelatin treat as if it were gold.

“ugh.” you huff, accepting defeat and walking out of the break room. no snack for you.

•••

“what’s y/n‘s favorite yogurt?” suga repeats the camera crew’s question, laughing nervously as a result. “why would you think i know that? i mean, it’s mixed berry, but still…”

•••

“suga said mixed berry? heh, he’s definitely onto me…” you smile at the thought of your favorite coworker knowing you so well, but then that very thought leads you to the worst possible conclusion. “hey, wait! i bet that dummy ate my yogurt!”

“we can confirm it was yamaguchi.” a crew member says to you, quickly debunking your theory, which you found to be shocking.

“what? really?” you gasp.

“we found him crying in the bathroom after you discovered somebody ate it.” they reply.

“oh.”

•••

when the work day was finally over, you start to collect your things, logging off your computer for the day and making sure you have everything before you leave. you look up and see a familiar face waiting behind your desk with his warm smile that never grew old.

“hey,” suga said, coat draped over his shoulder as he held his briefcase in his hand.

“hi.” you reply, voice shaky. he gave you butterflies for some reason…

“you walking out?” he asks. sometimes you stayed a little later than usual if there were extra things to do around the office, and suga hated to leave you hanging there. he hated sitting at the bus stop alone even more since it meant you weren’t there with him.

“yeah, lemme just get my coat.” you say softly as you grab your purse from under your desk then get your coat from the coat rack. suga waits right behind you, his shadow right in your vision.

“um, wanna stop by the convenience store on the way to the bus stop?” he adds on. it was typical of you two to grab an after-work snack, usually something indulgent like candy and a soda. suga has tried so hard to figure out what your favorite sweets were, but you were always switching it up in times you get something, so it was impossible to solve the puzzle.

“oh, yeah, sure.” you nod with a smile. “let’s go.”

you two walk out of the office building, beginning your short walk to the store and then the bus stop. it was one of the only times of the day you could share a moment with suga like this without any craziness going on from your coworkers. you liked talking to him just as much as he liked talking to you. sometimes you thought he was only your friend out of convenience and proximity, you were his coworker, after all, but it didn’t dawn on you how much you meant to him.

“so tell me.” you start the walk home conversation. suga perks up and looks over to you in anticipation of what you’re about to say, itching to hear more of your voice. “you put tanaka’s stapler in that jell-o, didn’t you?”

“what?” he laughs in your face, putting on a little act that you never failed to crack a laugh at. “what makes you assume such a thing? i’m offended, y/n. truly, honestly offended.”

“well, sorry!” you huff, also pretending.

“i mean… i totally did that to his stapler.” suga admits, and the two of you bust out into laughter. it was always easy to feel like a kid again when it came to suga. you didn’t grow up with him, but the two of you clicked on your first day like it was the first day of kindergarten.

as you arrived at the convenience store, you insisted to suga that you would wait outside while he got something. he pestered, asking if you were sure you didn’t want anything, but you said no and told him to not waste his money on you.

suga hated that you saw yourself as a waste. he knew what—or should he say who—made you feel that way, and he would be damned if you ever felt that way with him. suga knew who the real problem was, and it wasn’t you. it never was.

when suga came back outside, he had two bags. one was definitely for him, but the other one turned out to be a little surprise. “i know you said not to waste my money on you, but—“

“what, what did you do?” you questioned as if he did something bad.

“i figured you deserved this after what happened earlier.” he grinned, handing you one of the bags in his hands. when you opened it, it was your favorite, mixed berry yogurt. it was even the good kind mixed with vanilla. you couldn’t believe he’d remember such details.

“oh my god, suga, thank you.” you quickly hug him. suga’s heart felt like it was going to leap out of his chest while you moved on from the close touch so quickly like it was second nature. “how much was it? i’ll pay you back—“

“no, no. it’s on me.” he interrupted. he wanted to say more, say that anything spent on you was never a waste, but that would be going too far, wouldn’t it?

“really?” you ask with puppy dog eyes. suga nods. “thank you.”

the two of you share a long pause in each other’s eyes. suga’s pupils dilate, and so do yours, but it was too dark to notice. it was like you were both in an unwavering trance, but it couldn’t last forever as the sound of your phone ringing startles you both.

“shit, i gotta take this.” you say, walking a few steps away from suga before answering the call.

“oh, yeah, go ahead.” he looks down, giving you space.

“ryo?” great, it was your fiancé, and he was pissed again. he was so sweet in the beginning, but now you were stuck. at least, you felt stuck.

“what are you talking about?! you never said anything about picking me up after work today!” you yell into the phone.

suga tries not to overhear the conversation, but from the sound of your voice, he assumed your asshole fiancé was being rude towards you again. god, he couldn’t stand it. he almost wanted to grab your phone out of your hands and tell ryo off himself, but suga had to remember his place as just your friendly coworker and nothing more.

“fine, just… drive over to the bus stop. yeah. okay. alright. bye.” you sigh as you hang up, walking back to suga like nothing happened. you always brushed off these things, and you didn’t know how to stop them. “sorry about that. let’s just… go, shall we?”

“yeah,” suga says awkwardly and continues the walk, doing the same as you; acting like nothing happened. you had that in common.

the two of you sit at the bus stop in awkward silence, your bags from the convenience store acting as a barrier between you. you wanted to tell suga what happened on the phone with your fiancé, but it was easy for him to get the gist when he saw ryo skirt down the road like it was fast and furious.

“y/n! get in the car! i don’t got all night!” he yells from the driver's seat. you quickly yell back that you’re “coming!” and run to the other side of the door, ultimately forgetting the yogurt suga bought you. ryo gives you no time to put on your seatbelt and immediately drives away, leaving suga waiting for his bus alone.

suga looks over at his surroundings, finding that the documentary crew had been recording the entire walk here. he knew that was part of the deal, he and the rest of the office signed a contract after all, but he didn’t imagine embarrassing himself in the pilot episode like this.

“you guys recorded all that, didn’t you…?”

the film crew nods awkwardly.

“damn.”

[the-travelling-witch]

Ship your moots & assign a trope!

i’ll do my best but i haven’t been interacting with a lot of people lately,, i should probably do that more ;;

@haithamuse x al-haitham - book shop au

You’re browsing the shelves of your favourite book store for something new to read but as you go to skim over the summary a voice behind you speaks up, “I personally wouldn’t recommend that one. This one might suit you better,” as the guy hands you different book. Out of spite you purchase the one you chose and end up hating it. So, defeated you go back to try his recommendation-which you’d eventually end up loving- and as you check out you catch the infuriatingly smug smile of a certain someone.

@zhongrin x zhongli - soulmate au

There’s two ways this could go:

Either, you go all your life without being able to perceive the golden sheen of jewellery and the amber light of the setting sun, perfectly encapsulating the missing part of your life. Until you’re supposed to run an errand for your parents at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and you’re greeted by a handsome consultant with the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen. Well, not like you could have. After the initial shock, he gives you a soft smile, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Or, Rex Lapis has gone all his life with the words “Oh my god” engraved in his skin. And he’s peeved. Would his soulmate really be someone just praying for his help? Yet he can’t help but perk up every time he hears the title, just for nothing to happen. By the time he assumes the role of Zhongli, he has accepted the fact he would never meet the person he is destined to meet. That is until somebody runs into him at a tea shop and spills tea all over him. “Oh my god! I am so sorry!” “I assure you, everything is fine.” Just like the times you traced the words on your skin, hearing them aloud brings you a warm sense of comfort.

@watatsumiis x capitano - there is only one bed

You were running errands with the Fatui Harbinger when suddenly the clouds broke and absolutely drenched you with no sign of stopping any time soon. Luckily the inn close by still has one room available and you quickly assure Capitano you don’t mind sharing. What the two of you didn’t factor in was the single bed at the centre of the room. While it was big enough for two people, the halves couldn’t be separated. You go to bed that night with butterflies in your stomach, wondering if you could catch a wink of sleep at all and unaware your companion wasn’t faring much better. When you wake up the next morning, the spooning position you guys find yourselves in makes room for a much needed conversation.

@virtue-and-beneviolence x shidou - athlete and manager [annoyance to lovers]

You’re always either having a great time or you want to scratch his eyes out. As you might expect, you have your hands full with trying to keep his public image alive, from foul language to violence, you’ve had to deal with it all and with most things, Shidou couldn’t care less. But, every time a tabloid posts an article about an alleged dating scandal, he shuts it down with fierce determination. After it happened a few times, you can’t help but confront him, seeing as he’s so carefree about everything else. He just gives you a lopsided grin saying he can’t make his beautiful manager worry her pretty little head about that.

@feitania x gojo - enemies to lovers

The first time this man opens his mouth you want to punch his teeth out and I totally get it. Much to your dismay, your forced to work with this idiot for a longer period of time and, apparently, his new favourite past time is driving you up the walls. Both of you waste no time throwing insults and back-handed compliments at each other which lose more and more of their bite the more time you spent together. Much to your surprise, the moment you no longer have to see each other, your days are suddenly so stale and boring. Maybe you prefer this nuisance over the mundane drag of day to day life after all…

@ukaishin x kita - friends to lovers

Being with Kita is always calm and relaxing, that’s why it’s easy spending time with him. Over time you grow close enough to understand each other with just a simple look. Yet simple things don’t always stay simple, so naturally your heart has to beat faster and your mind has to go blank whenever you see him, just to throw you off balance. Is it wrong to feel like this for your friend? To sort out your feelings, you avoid Kita as much as possible, until he corners you and asks if he had done something wrong. Turns out these feelings are something you share as well.

@scaranya x nagi - slow burn/ mutual pining

Nagi is a friend of a friend, someone you’d never meet otherwise. And for quite a while that’s all there is to it. You see each other once in a while when your friend drags you out, his comments make you laugh and you can’t help but want to get to know him better. But how? He’d probably not appreciate it very much if you were to bother him, you think. Yet, you wouldn’t know it, but Nagi is nearly going crazy over how to ask you to hang out with him one-on-one, he has no clue about these things! Meanwhile your friend is nearly tearing their hair out at trying to play matchmaker for you two idiots (affectionate).

@kazooms x kalpas - present day au

You’re pretty sure Kalpas saw you one day and just decided you’d be friends, kinda how cats sometimes decide that they’re living in your house from now on. Because how else would this friendship have come to be? With his reputation as an unhinged delinquent no less. And sure enough, Kalpas shows up at your door -a cut on his cheek, bloodied knuckles and already forming bruises- more times than you want to count. Every time, you tell him he can’t keep coming back and, every time, he doesn’t listen. With time, you start anticipating his late-night visits, especially since he began bringing your favourite takeout as a way to appease you.

@chuuyas-beloved x sherlock - coffee shop au

What brought you to this coffee shop in particular was the rumour of a by now infamous barista who can guess customers’ favourite orders on a first glance, even if they don’t know it yet themselves. You’re not prepared, however, to meet the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen. Luckily for you, before you have to stammer through your sentence, he has already started to guess your order. After you agree and go to pick up your coffee, you had to admit he was pretty impressive. He even knew to write his number on your cup.

@dustofthedailylife x ayato - royal au

You were lucky enough to be invited to the royal masquerade ball, a great honor not bestowed on many; only a few people have ever seen the prince and princess in the first place. Dressed in your finest clothes and with a luxurious mask perched on your nose, you descend the grand staircase to mingle with the other guest. It’s not long before a tall stranger taps your shoulder. “May I have this dance?” is the start of a night spent elegantly floating across the dance floor and falling head over heels for the gentleman holding your hand. The next weeks are filled with dreams of deep conversations and silent promises, a clear crystal blue at the forefront of it all- the same crystal blue you find yourself admiring at the coronation not long after.
