Polish final in the champions league, I like it

[bokutosbabe]

I have no idea if this is where asks are sent but I am CRAVING some Oikawa or Ushijima figs rn 😍 OR EVEN DAICHI IM DESPERATE ID EAT UP ANYTHING YOU WRITE I BEG

AHAHA YOU FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE TO COME i love literally ALL of these characters but i chose to do ushijima since i’ve been wanting to write for him😻 i can always do the others if you want!!

Greatest in the League

a/n — i def put my own spin on this so i’m so sorry if it’s not exactly what you imagined😭🫶🏼 also made reader gn since a gender wasn’t specified . ALSO YES I MADE USHIJIMA OBLIVIOUS HE LITERALLY THOUGHT HINATA WAS GRIPPING ONTO BRAZIL BC HE WAS ON THE “OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD”

content — ushijima x gn! reader, ushijima and reader are married , fluff, set in time skip (at the olympics actually), secret relationship, honestly not much to talk abt, i think that’s it- lmk if i missed anything!

synopsis — Ushijima Wakatoshi, wing spiker and outside hitter for the Olympic men’s volleyball team, has a secret. Something only two people in the entire world know of, including him.

✿.｡.“ where’s the trophy? ”.｡.✿

one point.

one point was all that separated Japans men’s volleyball team from the champion title. a singular point that rested on Japans side of the net. Ushijima watched as the other team served

one. komori’s perfect receive- no one expected any less

two. atsumu’s terrifyingly beautiful set, every spiker they had running for the ball.

three. straight to ushijima wakatoshi.

the ball smacked against his palm, and boom. The other team had no time to even react as the wing spiker all but slammed the ball onto the other side of the court.

23-25

“AND JAPAN TAKES IT ALL!!” the announcers could be heard from the booth they were seated in. While the other team had shuffled off the court, the japan’s team was celebrating- many arms thrown around Ushijima, but he couldn’t find it in himself to care.

where were you?

The paparazzi had flooded the court, taking pictures of all the players while the giant trophy of the world’s best team was brought out, and yet ushijima needed to see you first.

“good job wakatoshi!” the males ears caught the three words, turning around as he heard your voice- spotting you standing at the railing that separated the many onlookers from the court.

“hey ushiwaka we need to take a pic with the trophy- hey where are you going?” he heard hoshiumi’s voice loud and clear, but his focus was on a familiar face in the crowd—yours. Without a second thought, he pushed through the throng of reporters and fans, his powerful strides carrying him swiftly toward you.

if there was one thing you hadn’t expected from ushijima after all the years of being together, it was this. you watched in awe as he came running over, the determined look on his face softening the moment he reached you. He didn’t say a word, simply enveloping you in a tight hug, causing many eyes and cameras to be turned towards the both of you.

After getting married two years ago the two of you had decided to keep your life out of the public eye, i mean- ushijima wouldn’t want his beautiful partner to get bombarded with all the questions that were sure to come their way, but as of right now he couldn’t care less.

ushijima wakatoshi was not a man of words, much rather showing his feelings through actions, so that he did. the star player leaned down before pressing a kiss to your lips, the camera flashes going off in the split second the two of your lips were connected.

“what’s with the photos?” he asked you as his hands rested on your waist.

ushijima wakatoshi was not a man of words, so when he had a post game interview with many bombarding questions about the person he had kissed, he’d decided actions would speak louder than words.

let’s just say, twitter and all news articles were buzzing about the outside hitters showing his left ring finger being adorned with a silver wedding band during the interviews.

✿.｡.“ he just comes running over to me ”.｡.✿

it’s super short and i actually hate it. i’m so sorry it took this long😭

likes, comments, and reblogs are appreciated!!

college roommate ellie(soccer player) x reader (volleyball player) uuuh, maybe ellie x reader meeting in the olympic village yess omg thanks in advance ❤️

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! my first request:) I hope this is good!! (I'm gonna be honest I don't know much about the olympics so I'm sticking with the college setting! I'm gonna keep this pg-13 btw I hope you don't mind😭)

You weren't really in the same league in athleticism as your roommate Ellie Williams was. You played volleyball in high school and went on to play for the girls volleyball team, but you played because it kept you fit and because the sport was simply freeing. It was a repetitive therapy to bounce the ball up into the air and slam it forward. It helped that you were naturally skilled when it came to the sport- your coach often praised you on your serves and the way you effortlessly left your opponents scrambling to pass the ball.

Ellie, however, was extremely serious about soccer. To her, it was never just a hobby or fun activity. She was obsessed. There's a certain drive, a passion she contains that you noticed when you were assigned the same dorm room. It was like watching a star simply exist before it lit up the sky, or like knowing someone before they became famous. You just knew she'd make a name out of herself. Her passion was invested in the discipline, the practice, the emotional toll that it all took to be the best. She never considered herself a competitive person because she knew she passed every hurdle in her way. Not to say it wasn't difficult, that she was purely talented and never had to work to become one of your university's best soccer players, but nobody could stand a chance even at their best. You settled for average games, and she wouldn't settle until she was an Olympics champion.

The way Ellie would come back after every practice sweaty and pumped up left your heart in a twisted position. You were never really passionate about your sport the way she was, and watching someone exceed in every way should've made you jealous. It should've made you want to try harder at your own sport so you could become one of the best in your career. Sure, you wanted to play on some big team in the future after college or maybe you'd like to be a star like Ellie would be. She should've been a feat of motivation for your heart. However, she only served as a means of a pathetic crush you harbored deep inside you.

You and Ellie got along well. She was always polite to you, and you'd be invited to her games that you ended up attending almost every one of just to watch her eyes light up when she'd score. Every time she'd talk to you, it was with a measure of control, though, as if she was not planning on getting too close to you. She was smart, strategic even off the field. This only made you want her more.

To Ellie, the distance only made her crave you more, too. She wanted to focus on her career. She thought if she indulged in the obvious feelings between you two that it would only end in heartbreak. She was a busy woman, so that thought was pretty reasonable. It only hurt more to keep the distance, though.

She allowed herself lingering glances when you were in her vicinity, either snuggled up on the couch with that raggedy blanket of yours that you brought from your childhood home, or when you'd be in the common area kitchen baking for your friends and you. She'd try to focus on her homework–that's why she was outside of her room in the first place. She liked writing papers outside of her cramped bedroom in the dorm. However, when you were around, especially in that damn kitchen..

She imagined herself coming home from a game, walking into your shared home to strip out of her jersey and into a baggy t-shirt of yours. Maybe your jersey(or whatever you call volleyball uniforms), because it always smelled so much like you. She'd approach you while you kneaded the dough into something sweet and warm, wrapping her sweaty arms around yours from behind and planting kisses onto the nape of your neck.

These little fantasies had to go away, or Ellie would go insane.

At first, she felt an immense amount of guilt about them. So much so, she felt distracted when it came to her passion, and anytime she heard your voice cheering for her on the bleachers, it only made her head dizzy. Just a slight twinge of frustration in herself, because she just couldn't focus like she used to when you were around.

However, the little daydreams that started out innocent and temporary turned into a full-blown obsession with you. So much so that one day, Ellie found herself in your bedroom going through your laundry basket for one of your jerseys. She felt bad doing this; the poor girl really just liked you and wanted one hit of indulgence, not all of you. At least that's what she told herself.

When she finally had the fabric in her hands, she paused to make sure you weren't approaching, and she brought her hands to her nose to take your scent in. The fabric consisted of the heavy scent of your sweat and what she could only identify as that sickly sweet perfume you put on every morning. She almost doubled over at the pure bliss she felt when she experienced this moment.

It wasn't a perverse thing for Ellie, no. She found a loving comfort in your scent. She wished to bury her face into the side of your neck and inhale more of it. She wished to cling onto your waist and leave kisses all over your beautiful skin, to show you how much she adored you after so much time spent politely keeping distance.

When she realized what she was doing, she thought about how horrible it felt to do this behind your back. She mumbled something to herself, conscious eating her alive. She threw the jersey back down into the basket and vowed to respect your privacy. That promise was broken embarrassingly fast.

The act of sneaking into your room and sniffing your jerseys became routine for Ellie. She started maybe once a week, then it became 4 times and soon enough it was a daily occurrence. All the while, her behavior was pretty much the same. She always had a yearning deep inside her soccerball-shaped heart for more. However, she was too much of a coward to actually confess to you or to risk getting her heart broken.

That was, until the false sense of routine came crashing down onto her.

It was a mundane week, homework the same miserable amount, soccer practice on Wednesdays and your volleyball practice on a Thursday. It was thankfully a Thursday, and you about to head out for practice.

You gave Ellie a quick goodbye and closed the door behind you, and she was left on the couch, heart racing as she made a beeline for your bedroom.

She sank down onto her knees like some dramatic schoolgirl, searching through your laundry for her daily dose of you. However, there it was, in all its glory, the jersey. Ellie noticed one of your extras underneath it, which was a bit odd because you usually only had one in your laundry at a time. However, she was too caught up in your scent to think about it. She was also much too caught up to notice the door opening and closing again.

She heard it after it was too late. You walked through the house, reaching your bedroom, making sure to alert Ellie of your presence.

"Hey Ellie? Where are you, have you seen my volleyball jer-"

There you were, standing in the doorway with wide eyes.

And there Ellie was, sitting on the floor next to your laundry basket, your jersey in her face.

You were struck with silence. Ellie watched as your jaw practically fell onto the floor. You tried to find it in you to speak, but Ellie spoke first. She couldn't hold it in much longer. And there it was, a nervous outburst of feelings that had been tucked away for much too long.

"Look, I'm so sorry for coming into here- I didn't mean to invade your privacy..I..I just can't do this anymore. I understand if you don't feel it too, but I really, really like you. Like, really. And your jerseys just smell like you-" Ellie shut up when she realized what she had just admitted.

You stood in the door, frozen for a moment. It felt like forever to Ellie. She was TERRIFIED you would report her to the dean and have her kicked out of college, to lose her career and scholarship in the school of her dreams, to lose soccer-

But what you did wasn't yell at her or give her a look of disgust. Instead, you sank to the ground next to her and your fingers stroked her bright red cheeks.

"I really, really, really like you, Ellie", and you gave her this adorable smile that made her even more nervous than she was when she was convinced you'd get her thrown out of college.

"W-Wait, so does that mean you're not..mad?"

You gave an awkward giggle, and Ellie's heart fluttered. "Well, this is definitely weird. I'd appreciate it if you maybe just..kissed me instead of searching through my laundry. Or at least asking, ya know?"

Ellie took the hint and leaned forward. You met her halfway, and she felt the butterflies in her stomach spread throughout, as if the enclosure they were trapped in for so long had been unlocked, her feelings set free. Your lips were so soft and tasted sweet like a flavored chapstick, hers gently moving against them.

When you both reluctantly pulled, away Ellie had this light in her eyes that you only saw when she'd play soccer. And in that moment, she was no longer afraid of her crush on you.

2024 VOLLEYBALL NATIONS LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

[littlelemontarte]

hi judith!! i hope you are having a nice sunday 🤸‍♀️ i just wanted to ask how big is volleyball and handball in germany? like i only see the football and basketball national teams being talked about online so i was wondering 😙 (ps mwah mwah for consuming my vball nonsense)

hi :)

it's funny that you mention the basketball team because while i don't think basketball is unpopular in germany, i don't think it's as popular as handball. i'd say the sudden popularity spike online is because the german basketball team rather unexpectedly (like, unexpected for the broad masses, i have seen some experts call them the dark horse of the world cup tournament) won the world cup last year.

but if i compare the screen time (in the german free tv) the handball nt gets compared to the basketball nt (and also the german handball liga), i'd still say handball is more popular. which might just be cause the german handball clubs do relatively well in european competitions, like the champions league (i'm not sure about basketball).

i've also looked at various statistics regarding popular sports in germany, and all of them put handball infront of basketball - sometimes basketball isn't even in the top ten of popular sports.

i also don't know how popular handball is in north america cause i've seen more interest in the german basketball nt come from there, which is understandable, cause a lot of the basketball nt players are playing in the nba (a couple years ago that wasn't the case).

volleyball is really unpopular, like if i wasn't interested in sports and following the olympics quite closely, i wouldn't even know that the volleyball nt qualified for olympia. cause most reporters mention the football team, the basketball team and the two handball teams and that's basically it for the team sports. like i can't even tell you if they're good or something or what clubs there are in the bundesliga.

iwaizumi hajime | greatest gift

thinking about how loved iwa is, not only by his friends from seijoh, but also everyone else in hq 🥹

“getting older, iwa-chan.”

“shut up, shittykawa.”

of course it is tooru’s teasing grin - still so child-like, just like how iwaizumi always remembered it - that greets him from across the ocean first thing in the morning. behind the amused sparkle gleaming in his eyes and the laughter poking fun at iwaizumi in his voice, the light in tooru’s smile mirrors that of the late sunshine streaming inside his apartment, on the other side of the globe. golden and warm; comforting even though it comes from so far away.

iwaizumi’s best friend, fated rival, and first champion. of course he has his clock set to call iwaizumi first.

“this year, i’ll beat your ass,” iwaizumi smiles back, ferocious. “i’ll keep my promise.”

next, the rest of seijoh are on the screen - an avalanche of birthday wishes, cheeky talks of argentina’s recent feats in the v league and how japan should come prepared.

matsukawa and hanamaki’s teasing, aimed at both iwaizumi and tooru, kindaichi’s earnest kindness and support, kunimi’s quiet congratulations, kyotani’s begrudging respectfulness. he knows them by heart.

iwaizumi shakes his head in feigned annoyance and smiles at his former team-mates, and it feels like the palm of his hand is tingling from all these juvenile spikes, when to them high school volleyball was still the horizon of a whole wide world they had yet to discover. he knows it - they have made him who is. gratitude almost prickles his eyes.

somehow, the japanese team is even louder than seijoh. hinata, bokuto, and atsumu burst out of the locker room in an excited whirlpool of birthday wishes and promises to make their coach proud. hoshiumi and sakusa bring the cake, alit with twenty nine candles and adorned with frosting whipped into a volley ball (matsukawa and hanamaki will get him a godzilla-shaped cake which tooru personally chose later, there is no doubting it). ushijima gives iwaizumi a calm smile, thanking him for his guidance and friendliness, even back when they unexpectedly reunited in the united states. in what was first a sworn enemy, iwaizumi had found a friend.

standing on the court before morning practice, iwaizumi watches his team bicker and shower him with attention and gifts. he has known them all since high school, before hinata’s receives were feared by half of the world and ushijima polished his lethal left-handed weapon. before the world stage had opened up to them.

he has watched them push back their limits and bloom into the athletes that they had always hoped to become.

but now, he is reminded that they, too, have watched over him. they have helped him grow into the person he is now - iwaizumi hajime, athletic trainer, coach of the japanese olympic team.

they are his gifts.
