one of my favourite thing about deanpendragon’s tsukishima is that he is constantly reciting long tirades in his head, just full essays that bring his train of thought so far away from the topic at hand, and it’s only after reaching a point in this mental essay he thinks is important enough to say out loud does he continue the train of thought so others can hear, almost inevitably confusing them. i really like it, i like this insight into his mind that runs at a mile a minute. i also think this explains a lot of the issues kei has. he goes thru all his reasoning in his head before speaking his conclusion as fact, but if he were to let people in a bit on how he got there, they could point out the flaws in his reasoning, or just tell him plain that he’s got it wrong. but kei never gives them the chance.

Hey! Could you do some hcs for tsukishima, tendou and tanaka where they have a s/o who's a really good cook and likes to make them meals a lot?? (this is my only redeeming quality) thank you! 💞💞
Ahhhhhhhh I love these three so much, it’s not even funny (especially Tsukki and Tendou) As a cook myself I definitely understand where you’re coming from lmao. Enjoy! 💞

Tsukishima
Oh this teasing bastard
Okay so let’s be honest here, this beanpole may be smart and analyzing, but it's kinda useless when it doesn’t apply to himself
This fool is terrible when it comes to remembering to eat and take care of himself
You think he’s skinny just cause he’s built like that? my body different headass
This fool genuinely forgets to feed himself, and half the time he does eat, its some half-assed shit he threw together that morning before rushing off to school
I’m surprised he hasn’t keeled over at this point ngl
So when you two started dating in his second year, imagine beanpole’s surprise when he picks you up to go to school one day and you drop a bento wrapped in a dinosaur cloth into his hands
“What's this for?”
“For you to give to Yams, obviously?” If you rolled your eyes back anymore they might get stuck
“Its for you to eat, dumbass. Don’t think I didn’t notice how you never bring food or how skinny you’re getting!
Tsukki.exe has stopped working
You??? Care about him??? Enough to make him food???
“Your team needs you nice and strong, and I don’t want to see you wasting away”
Cue your sad eyes and pout that he’s absolutely weak for but won’t admit it
The blush that has spread its way across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose is so adorable you would’ve taken a photo, but the fear of having your phone destroyed kept you in place
You can’t help the smile that comes when he turns his head away in embarrassment as he says a quiet thank you before grabbing your hand and practically dragging you to school
And when he eats it? Lord have mercy on his soul 
The food is absolutely immaculate
Like he had no idea food could taste this good
And the fact that you, his adorable s/o, made it?
He might be lowkey contemplating a ring highkey 
Best believe this won’t be the last time you make him food, whether you want to or not
Tumblr media
Tendou
Okay so this nerd knows full well how good of a cook you are
And takes advantage of it as much as he possibly can
It all started when you invited him over for a movie night in your dorm
When he gets there, you were already in the little kitchen all Shiratorizawa dorms came with
And asked him if he could help you get dinner ready
Like how could he say no to you?
*Cue you cheffing it up in the kitchen*
Is absolutely blown away at your skills in the kitchen
No cap, like some of the shit you were doing he’s only ever seen in Instagram videos on professional chefs
Baby boi is blown away
And when dinner is finally finished and he takes the first bite?
It's game over
Falls to his knees and crawls towards you before begging you to marry him
“I have never had food taste like this before and I’d rather die before I never get to eat it again!”
And so now you happily prepare him little meals and snacks for everything
Practice today? Check
Away game? Check
Someone on the teams’s birthday is tomorrow?
You best believe he has to fend his teammates away from you when they get a taste of your cooking
“Back off! (Y/n) is mine and they only cook for me!”
Don’t even get me started on his bragging, good luck buddy
Tumblr media
Tanaka
MEGA SIMP
This man is the King of Simps™ and I don’t take constructive criticism
The first time simp Tanaka has some of your cooking is actually a year into you guys dating, so his third year
Boi somehow convinced you to become the team’s second manager with Yachi More like begged but we’re not gonna talk about that
And it was during one of the training camps
Ukai knew you were pretty proficient, and it didn’t take much convincing from the other coaches and managers to let you basically run the kitchen
So the first night there, everyone's tired and sweaty from the day full of training
They all come stumbling into the mess hall area and are immediately greeted not only to the sight of delicious piles of food, but just the smell could make them pass out from bliss
And the food tastes even better than how it looks and smells
So imagine Tanaka’s shock when he’s on his second plate of food when Ukai calls everyone’s attention he the front of the room and there you are next to him, looking a little shy with a small smile on your face
“I think (Y/n) deserves a thank you for all their hard work making your food today. Everything you guys are eating was made by them, so please say your thanks!”
To say Tanaka was shocked was an understatement
He basically bulldozers his way to you and wraps you in his arms while shouting
“I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE SUCH AN AMAZING COOK?!?”
You laugh and tap him on his head, a signal for him to put you down
“Well yeah, you know my family so I kinda had no choice but to learn how to cook”
God, he thinks you’re perfect and can’t believe how lucky he is to have you
So with him, it's the same as Tendou
You always have something for him to eat, whether its just lunch or snacks for practice and games
And he makes sure to give you a big kiss each time to express his gratitude.

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi - Fight Back
You’re never gonna make it.
Tsukishima Kei enters the gym and grabs his belongings. He glances over at the other teammates running and practicing their volleyball skills. He observes them from a distance and takes mental notes of their current strengths and weaknesses.
You’re not good enough.
Tsukishima attempts to hide those bad thoughts and goes to the Third Gym to train with a few other volleyball players. He tries so hard to block Bokuto Kotaro’s spikes, but alas, he could not stop them.
You really think you’re different? Man, you must be kidding.
Akaashi Keiji senses something must be on Tsukishima’s mind and walks over to talk to him.
Tsukishima notices, smiles, and assures Fukurodani’s setter, “I have to tell myself, ‘Think you’re gonna hit it,’” and turns away from him.
Akaashi does not believe Tsukishima for a single second but chooses to leave the matter alone for now. After all, he knows that the tallest Karasuno player does not really open up to anyone or admit his own faults easily.
But you just don’t get it.
Tsukishima knows that having these terrible thoughts is affecting him. He wants to get them out, but he is not sure how to. He makes an effort to work out with Yamaguchi and his other teammates to see if this could be his positive reinforcement.
It’s impossible. It’s not probable. You’re irresponsible.
Tsukishima gets easily exhausted and more negative notions continue to plague his mind. He cannot concentrate on what is going on around him. He feels out of breath. Sweat constantly drips out from him. He is on the verge of just giving up. What is he even doing this for?
Tsukishima looks up and recognizes someone from across the court. Oikawa Toru, one of his greatest rivals.
Oikawa points at Tsukishima, often challenging the tall player and baiting him just to get some kind of reaction. Oikawa does not have to say anything at all, but Tsukishima can tell that that Aoba Johsai’s setter is mocking him with every intent of making the blonde guy mad. It’s like he is telling him, “You can’t be a pro. Don’t waste your time no more.”
It’s one thing when Tsukishima knows he can’t do certain tasks or things on his own, but when somebody else tells him that, Tsukishima does not like it at all. He vows to beat Oikawa at his own game, and he will train even harder to reach that goal.
- - -
Kageyama Tobio realizes that Tsukishima is focused on the practice game more than usual, but just the mere thought of seeing Tsukishima there by his side somehow pisses him off. Something Tsukishima said earlier irks the Karasuno setter, “Watch your mouth.”
Tsukishima replies back with a snarky comment of his own, “I don’t give a damn if you disapprove.”
They start to fight with each other, and Ennoshita Chikara can’t help but feel embarrassed by them, knowing that someone is going to have to break the first years apart soon.
- - -
Tsukishima continues to practice even when he is not forced to. He watches everyone’s movements and the gameplay very carefully, especially Hinata Shoyo’s. He secretly wants to stop Hinata’s and Kageyama’s quick attack just even once. He will make his move because that is what he wants to do.
- - -
There is a practice game going on with Aoba Johsai and Karasuno. The positions are set for both teams and everyone knows their own roles. Oikawa specifically targets one person on the other side of the net, Tsukishima Kei. He knows for a fact that his dear ole Tsukki can never master any receives coming from his own powerful serves. He purposely wants to block Tsukishima’s vision.
Tsukishima knows that he was an easy target for the third year and tries his best to receive, but ends up failing to do so. Tsukishima has felt Oikawa’s strong serve bounce heavily on his arms. He beats himself up for it. “Damn!” Tsukishima knows that he needs to do better and he has to do it fast. Oikawa has his eyes set on him, and there is no way he is out of the zone in this state yet.
Someone once told Tsukishima this: “’Cause you hold the power as long as you’re driven.”
Oikawa serves the ball and aims straight for the first year again.
Tsukishima gets into position and receives the ball. The ball goes up, and the game continues on.
- - -
After the game, Tsukishima walks around at night to reflect on his own thoughts.
You’re never gonna make it.
He has many things on his mind, most of them often bringing himself down. Why am I doing any of this? What is the point-
“Tsukki!!!” That nickname alone stops the pessimistic guy on his tracks.
Yamaguchi Tadashi rushes out like a bullet train. He will not allow Tsukki to be alone with these thoughts in his mind. He knows what he has to do to bring his best friend back to his senses.
There’s no way that you make it.
Tsukki turns around and faces his childhood friend. “What?” he asks.
Yamaguchi starts getting mad at his best friend. He tells him, “You’ve been acting really lame lately, okay!”
Tsukki knows that Yamaguchi looks up to him like a role model, but Tsukishima wants, no, he needs to have a reason to keep playing volleyball. Tsukishima does not have the best experiences when it comes to this sport. “Why does it even matter?” he yells out to Yams.
Yamaguchi has had enough of Tsukishima’s lame antics, so he grabs Tsukki’s shirt and makes him listen to him. “Don’t be an idiot! It’s our sense of pride! What more do you need?” Yamaguchi rarely ever expresses his anger towards anyone or anything, but if this is enough to get through to his best friend, he will not hesitate to do this again.
Tsukishima is quite surprised to see Yamaguchi like this. Watching Yamaguchi makes Tsukki realize something as if he is looking at a mirror right now. But Tsukishima questions his best friend, “Are you just gonna take that?” He knows of his teammate’s failures and uses this argument against him, but he wants to know if this is his ultimate reason, his own drive to keep moving forward in all of this.
Yamaguchi does not let up and he does not back down. He is aware of his own faults, but he strives to get better. That’s all that once can do in life after all. Don’t give up and don’t quit now.
Tsukishima does not have to hear a single word to know what Yamaguchi is thinking. He is an observant person, and he does not want to let his best friend down. “Or will you fucking fight back?”
Tsukishima’s response surprises Yams. He did not expect for Tsukki to believe him, let alone, see a genuine grin. All is well for both athletes.
- - -
The next practice game is between Fukurodani and Karasuno. Tsukishima focuses on everything that Nekoma’s middle blocker, Kuroo Tetsurou has taught him. “Insert power all the way up to your fingertips so they never get blown back.”
Tsukishima tries this method against Bokuto.
Bokuto senses a change in aura against Karasuno’s number eleven. It sends a chill down his spine that he is barely aware of where the volleyball is at that moment. The ace manages to send the ball over the blockers and score a point in that manner.
On that night after the game, Bokuto goes over to Tsukishima and points at him. He deems him worthy of being his opponent and his friend. He also helps his boy, Tsukki out by giving his own reasons for playing volleyball.
- - -
After a little while, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi decide to go to the park and have a couple of refreshments there. Tsukishima feels better being around with Yamaguchi as he listens to his music through his headphones.
Meanwhile, Yamaguchi takes this time to reflect back to his own past.
- - -
As a young boy, it was always easy for the other kids to pick on him. Maybe because he was small? Or he was weak? Or he did not fit in with the other kids at all. Yamaguchi gets bullied enough that he cries in front of all of his bullies, to which they make fun of him even more.
Yamaguchi does not often look at his own reflection in the mirror. It just reminds him of back then when he could not face his own problems. Luckily though, something good did happen during that one time in the playground.
Tsukishima Kei. Even for his age back then, Tsukki is quite tall. He was curious about the situation going on while he was walking from school to his house and notice that the small freckled-boy in the green hoodie was in trouble. Tsukki is not the type of person to intervene, but when Yamaguchi and the bullies see him, Tsukishima smiles and states, “That’s so lame.” With that, he starts walking away.
No one knows what he is talking about and has blank looks on their faces. One of the bullies decides to take matters into his own hands and chases after Tsukishima. He roughly grabs Tsukishima’s bag to get his attention. Little did he know that that would be a grave mistake.
Because of Tsukishima’s height, he uses this to his advantage and intimidates the bully. “Stop what you’re saying. Stop what you’re making.”
The scaredy-cat starts to run away, and his other two lackies follow, leaving Yamaguchi alone. The bully gets one last sentence in before leaving the scene, “Everybody here knows that you’re just faking.”
Tsukishima laughs. He is completely unphased by the short boy’s words and chooses to ignore him.
And from that day on, Yamaguchi has someone to look up to.
- - -
Tsukishima ponders to himself, (Wait, I was that cute back then?). Nah!
- - -
Kuroo and Akaashi try to talk to Tsukishima to see where his head is at. They know that he will eventually have to go up against Oikawa and his team, so they want to make sure that their fellow middle blocker is ready for them.
Tsukishima smiles at them and says, “I don’t wanna hear it anymore.” He leaves thm to go find some peace and quiet.
Yamaguchi finds Tsukishima and tries to talk to him, but Tsukishima is quite tired and sick of people asking him about Oikawa. “I don’t wanna hear it anymore,” he repeats one last time. Tsukishima knows that he is in a bad mood, but for once, he does not want to spend his time thinking about that setter. No matter how much he tries, it’s as if Oikawa has found a way to somehow psychologically mock him without being anywhere near him.
- - -
Tsukishima’s thoughts continue to consume him even in the next practice game against Aoba Johsai. He sees Oikawa talking with his teammates to boost their confidence and their morale.
Tsukishima decides that he has had enough. To truly get these wicked thoughts out of his head, he has to beat Oikawa. He knows he cannot do this on his own, so he has to rely on his other teammates, especially the so-called King. Kageyama Tobio.
Kageyama agrees to back up Tsukishima and puts his money where his mouth is. “I’m about to shut the motherf*ckin door.” Seeing this side of the king makes the middle blocker excited to see how the outcome of this game will turn out.
Tsukishima takes a page out of king’s book and trash talks the other team mainly to keep his spirits up. “With all you poor ass haters with your heads in the clouds, talking out loud so proud…”
Oikawa turns to look at the Karasuno players. He looks forward to this match and beating Tsukishima once again.
Tsukishima has a feeling that Oikawa is focusing more on him than the others, but is unable to say anything. Instead, Yamaguchi catches on and exclaims, “You better shut your damn mouth, before I do more than speak out!”
Tsukishima just stands there and eyes the setter in front of him. He may not show it, but he tries to remember when the last time Yamaguchi cussed someone out or even if he ever cussed at all before. He knows that Yams is serious when he says this, so he vows to back him up in any way that he can.
- - -
Yamaguchi clearly remembers the last time they had an official game against Aoba Johsai. He was a nervous trainwreck being put into the game at that time. He knew that he wasn’t like the other first-year players who started in the lineup. He has every single reason to be afraid at that moment, but he has to at least give it a try. Maybe luck was on his side. Maybe he can do it.
You’re never gonna make it.
Yamaguchi puts the ball up and serves. The ball touches the top of the net and stays in place for about two seconds before falling slowly back into the ground. The pinch server’s open mouth turns into one of disappointment. He’s upset. He feels sad. He has let himself down. Even when the coach tells hims that it was not his fault, Yamaguchi can’t help but feel like he is not like all the others.
There’s no way that you make it.
Yamaguchi does not want to just give up without trying. He looks for some kind of inspiration, some kind of goal to set and surpass in order to give him the drive that he needs to do better.
Maybe you could fake it.
Yamaguchi gazes at Oikawa, knowing that he is a very powerful volleyball player. His reputation precedes him. Oikawa is one of the best players out there in the court and in the country. Yamaguchi strives to be like him, but he is so far out of reach. If he puts the time and effort, would he be able to be like him?
But you’re never gonna make it.
Yamaguchi has his goal in mind, but in order to reach it, he has to clear many obstacles ahead of him. The first step is to get himself to calm down when stepping into the court.
He remembers that experience as clear as day. One step on the court, and the whole atmosphere changes. He isn’t someone just standing by in the sidelines anymore. He might not be a starter, but he was put into this game for a reason. All eyes are on him now. Will he be able to gain control, or will he falter once again?
- - -
Are you just gonna take that?
Yamaguchi is determined to get his pride back. He has to get it back. He needs to show Tsukki that putting all of this work is worth it.
Yamaguchi reminds himself, “I’m not a confrontational guy, but I still went off on Tsukki the other day.”
Yamaguchi has to back his own claim up. He had the courage to stand up against the one guy he admires most of all. His very own best friend. Tsukishima Kei. He got Tsukki to finally listen to him. Now, it’s time to prove it to himself and everyone else that he has the skills to play on this court.
Make them take it all back.
From taking advice from others, practicing countless hours into improving his craft, and his own past experiences, number twelve of Karasuno makes sure that he takes everything that he has learned into account and puts every single one of them into great use. He is going to take his shot. This is his chance. His chance to show them up.
Yamaguchi does not let any distractions from crowd interfere with his process. Karasuno has his back no matter what. It’s time to show Aoba Johsai what this team is all about.
Don’t tell me you believe that.
Kei does his best to give some helpful advice to Tadashi. “We’re all just thinking about how lucky we’ll be if we can get this.”
Yamaguchi remembers Tsukishima’s words. Tsukishima rarely ever shows his emotion, but he believes that this best friend can do this. He puts all of his trust and faith into the pinch server.
Yamaguchi holds the ball up in front of him.
Oikawa watches Tsukishima and Yamaguchi with careful intent. He thinks that Yamaguchi will mess up his serve just like he had done before. There is no need to be worried at all about this.
Yamaguchi takes a deep breath in and clears his mind. All eyes are on him now. He has the ball. He knows what to do. He has trained and conditioned himself well for this exact moment.
Are you just gonna take that?
The referee blows the whistle. That’s the start. He has eight seconds to get the ball up into play.
Yamaguchi tosses the ball up in the air. He eyes the ball carefully and jumps up in the air. He controls his body’s movements as the ball falls down towards him.
As soon as it is in his path, he hits it. The ball floats in the air and is over the net. Every player keeps their eye on the ball. Aoba Johsai’s libero tells his teammate, “It’s out.” But is he so sure?
The ball goes in between them and falls within bounds. It’s in!
Oikawa despises jump float serves. Its trajectory and its course can throw off players’ perception. He does not know if he should be mad that Karasuno got the point or if it’s that rival of his that was able to make a service ace at that time.
Yamaguchi feels that moment with pride. He got it in! Karasuno has another weapon in their arsenal, and it is their spear. All of his teammates and happy and excited that Yamaguchi was able to nail that service ace.
But the game is not over yet. After the short celebration, Yamaguchi knows that Aoba Johsai will soon figure out how to return his own serve, so he has to be ready to fight back. He has his eye on the ball at all times.
However, Yamaguchi is not the only one watching the volleyball. Tsukishima always assesses the situation and plans ahead. He knows exactly where and how to hit the volleyball to score a point for his team.
Tsukishima jumps up. Three blockers in his way in front of him, but that won’t stop this middle blocker. Oikawa has left a wide opening to his right, and Tsukishima uses this fact to his advantage.
He makes sure that the ball softly touches Oikawa’s fingertips. He did this mainly to ensure that he would win the point as well as mocking Oikawa at his own game. He was also not going to let Yamaguchi’s serve go to waste. Tsukishima faces Oikawa and feels satisfied over seeing his rival being annoyed at him for a change.
Tsukishima bends down to pick up the ball when he hears Yamaguchi cheering his name, “Tsukki!”
He turns around and tells his teammate, “Do it again.” He tosses the ball over to him.
Yamaguchi catches it, surprised to hear Tsukki say some encouraging words, but he knows exactly what he needs to do. He smiles and nods at him.
Tsukishima Kei and Yamaguchi Tadashi continue to have their moments in volleyball. They encourage each other. They look out for one another. They represent numbers “Eleven” and “Twelve” of Karasuno. They are the Shield and the Spear. They understand their roles in all of this. They have an affinity for this sport. The sport that bonded them together since childhood. That time when they became best friends. Best friends who grow and learn how to fight back!
