I never stop thinking about dumbass futakuchi with his novelty glasses and glowsticks so here- I drew him <3

11:55pm - New Years Eve

Characters | Futakuchi x reader

A/N | Kicking off the new year with a v self indulgent post. 2023 give me a lover, please and Thankyou :)

Also I have no idea what people do on New Year’s Eve or whatever so I’m just making stuff up, glowsticks and funny glasses galore. I think he would look so dumb in them <33

<<—>>—<<—>>

Blanket spread out, mozzie repellent on, and less than 5 minutes until midnight. When your friends had begged you to join them out here, you were already torn between deciding whether to stay up into the new year, or finally catch up on some of the sleep you’ve been missing.

But eventually it came down to wanting to be in the company of your friends. Between their jobs and volleyball games, you didn’t get much time to spend with all of them at the same time, so an opportunity like this was just too good to miss.

4 Minutes left and everyone had settled down, well, except for Koganegawa, who may have have a tiny bit too much to drink and would rather keep getting up to change seats than just get comfy.

You sat to the edge of the blanket, listening to the rest of their soft conversations and fighting off the tiredness that was steadily creeping up on you. Futakuchi was next to you, discussing something that sounded like volleyball tactics to Aone, who sat to his left, while Kogane kept butting in with stories of things that had happened in the Sendai Frogs; like the time Kyotani had accidentally broken Tsukishima’s glasses and they refused to talk to each other for almost the entire week.

3 Minutes left. Someone had pulled out some glowsticks apparently, and Futakuchi had turned to you to give you a glowstick bracelet.

“Geez you look tired,’ he commented as you slipped the glowsticks over your wrist. “Just don’t go falling asleep on me, ok?”

“Oh don’t worry, your annoying voice is gonna keep me awake just fine.” You both grin at the mutual teasing and he turns away to grab more glowsticks off Aone, who is methodically cracking them to make a necklace.

2 Minutes.

You couldn’t help but to stare at Futakuchi. Maybe it was the tiredness building up, or maybe the bit of alcohol you had had, but in the soft neon glow surrounding him, he looked beautiful. The soft curves of his nose and lips, the slight fluffiness of his hair, and even the dumb novelty ‘end of year’ glasses he was wearing.

He’d been one of your best friends for some time now, but lately even the most mundane things seemed exciting when he was around.

The non-stop playful banter whenever you went shopping together; the way he would rant to you about about an annoying customer at his job. You had found yourself looking forward to any interactions with him.

60 Seconds.

“Ooh someone’s got a staring problem!” Kogane slumped down beside you, throwing his long arm over your shoulder and pulling you close. “You should take a picture. It lasts longer~“

You shoved him lightly, not like you would’ve been able to move him anyway. “Shut up, I wasn’t staring.” Lowering your voice, you hoped he would do the same to not risk Futakucki listening in on your conversation. Kogane just shrugged, throwing you a knowing smile as he lifted himself up to go bother someone else.

Shaking your head to clear your thoughts you began to hear people from other nearby blankets counting down the seconds as your friends began to join them.

“10!”

“9!”

“8!”

Blankets rustled softly as you glanced at Futakuchi taking a quick sip from the bottle in his hands.

“7!”

“6!”

His eyes met yours for a moment and he joined in the countdown with a wide smile.

“5!”

“4!”

Your fingers brushed against his where they lay on the blanket. His hand twitched, but he didn’t move away.

“3!”

You caught his eyes again, and this time you could see the shine in them, even behind his dumb novelty glasses. And you didn’t miss the way his stare flickered down to your lips.

“2!”

He hesitated. But a solid nudge from Aone had him leaning in towards your face. Your hand gently grabbing his.

“1!”

His lips met yours. Clumsily and quickly, but perfect none the less.

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!”

Fireworks exploded in front of you, bathing Futakuchi in more of those pretty coloured glows. He pulled back, an almost invisible flush to his cheeks.

Aone hummed, as if to say ‘you’re welcome’ and Futakuchi made a mental note to talk to him later about not pressuring people into stuff, all the while he gently tugged you to sit closer to him. Mumbling softly, “I won’t mind if you wanna fall asleep now.”

And you knew you had made the best choice in going out with them tonight.

Might try writing today? I have literally 10 drafts, surely I can finish one today. As a treat <3

And pls with the cursed images,, those types of cosplays are absolutely terrifying 😭

[underrated-love]

Okay so imagine just imagine laying in the dark with your fave. It’s late and you’ve just finished a movie and now your curled into their side, arms wrapped around their waist, enjoying the warmth they give off. They’re combing through your hair with their fingers, softly, idly. It’s too dark to see them properly but you can just make out the details of their pretty face in the soft light the tv gives off. They’re relaxed; eyes closed, leaning back against the couch. You get to listen to their breathing slow down as they drift off next to you. It’s so domestic, so soft, the two of you just so relaxed and comfortable together. Stifling a yawn, you press yourself closer to them and close your eyes, ready to fall asleep next to your favourite person. <33

AN | been feeling really bad lately and writing this helped surprisingly more than it should have,,,, my hearts just too full of love with no one to give it to :(

Why Not Me? - Kindaichi x f!reader

Summary: You're halfway through your drawing and Kindaichi struggles to tell you something.

Genre: fluff, friends to lovers

Word count: 0.7k

Author's notes: I'm a new follower but happy birthday @annypuff! Thank you for doing your birthday event. I enjoyed a lot of the drawings that others requested. :) Also, I know you like angst (with no comfort 😰), but I didn't think I should do angst for you and Kindaichi… lol. So I hope you like this anyway!

*****

You laid your stylus on the table, raising your eyes to see Kindaichi giving you a small wave.

"Ugh," you groaned to yourself as you quickly look back down. "Why does he have his hair down?" Your heart began to beat faster as he pulled out the seat in front of you and slumped into it.

When did he start becoming so attractive to you? You didn't bat an eye at him back when you were teenagers and saw him in the school hallways. Nor when you saw him again years later at the reunion when your best friend dragged you to it.

No. It started when this stupid guy had to show you just how stupidly sweet he was when he ran out of the building into the pouring rain just to give someone an umbrella. And here you were a couple of years later, still sticking around him with a stupid crush using any excuse you could to see him.

You told him about the two for one deal at the café.

Both your phone and tablet were out on the table and you busied yourself with your current drawing. "So what drink did you want?" you asked him.

When he didn't answer, you raised your eyes to see a scowl on his face, one that you rarely saw because he had always smiled around you.

"What is it?" you asked.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm drawing like I usually do," you replied, raising your brow.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Your eyes scanned the table but didn't see anything unusual. You had your phone out with a reference opened along with a half finished drawing you told a friend you'd work on.

"I'm just drawing?" you said, still unsure what he was getting at.

"But why do you need that?" he said, gesturing to the topless male model on your phone.

You scratched your head with the back of your stylus. "It's kind of hard to draw without a reference."

Somehow, his lips twisted even more as he crossed his arms and leaned back again his chair. His brows were furrowed and he intently stared at your tablet.

He bit his lip before muttering, "You know I play volleyball, right?"

"Yeah, of course I do."

"You know I play professionally, right?"

"Yes, Kindaichi. I was the first one to know that you made it on the team."

He pressed his lips together as he shifted his eyes to the café's menu posted on the wall, but you could tell from his gaze he wasn't actually reading it. You flinched when he vigorously ruffled his hair before crossing his arms again.

A thought passed through your brain.

Then your jaw dropped.

"You want me to use you as a reference."

"I never said that," Kindaichi quickly replied.

"Why are you getting defensive then?"

"N-No, I'm not," he stammered, his arms still crossed.

You tried to fix your lips in place, but its corners couldn't help but turn upwards. "Should I just ask Kunimi to be my reference then?"

"He doesn't even work out anymore."

"Maybe I should ask Iwaizumi then."

Kindaichi opened his mouth to protest, then closed it back shut. He probably still felt like he couldn't compare to his senpai, which you didn't understand at all.

By now, you couldn't hold back your grin because it even reached your eyes.

Getting up from your chair, phone in hand, you positioned yourself next to him.

Click.

"What are you doing?" he asked you as you stared at the cute creases between his brows.

You held up the picture of the two of you in your hand. "This is for reference."

"What?"

"I'm supposed to be drawing a cute couple next."

He narrowed his eyes at you, not quite understanding why you had said that.

You returned to your seat as if nothing had happened and picked up your stylus to pretend to resume with your drawing. You peeked up at him, watching him blink his eyes from disbelief before he placed his chin on his palm.

"Was I not obvious enough?" you wondered to yourself.

He drummed his fingers on the table as he gave you a smirk.

"Wanna go watch a movie like a cute couple this weekend?"

*****

I hope you enjoyed it! (Even though it's shorter than what I usually write.) Thank you Anny for being my excuse to finally write a fic for Kindaichi! :D

(This ended up being another artist!reader who needed a reference again, but I was inspired. The other one is my Atsumu one but the ship dynamics are very different from this one lol.)

Since it's Yamaguchi's birthday; I'm gonna say my mind.

He deserves better!

I mean he barely get's included in official art, even when Tsukishima is there. And we now the creators like to pair them up with their partners, so it looks so unnatural that it's always a pair that doesn't have their partner in crime.

He should have been included in that small spin-off story with all of them in Rio. I mean, canon wise, Hinata and Yamaguchi are closer than Tsukishima and Hinata. It doesn't make sense that he isn't there. I wished they included him there at least.

Although his main arc was over pretty quickly. I find it inspiring. Through haikyuu, we see a lot of interesting characters that are already 'naturally' good. We see few really struggle directly with volleyball. I mean, Kageyama's old team turned their back on him because he wasn't cooperative, Oikawa envied Kageyama because of his growing talent. Hinata is a naturally good jumper and fast and Tsukishima has the dream scenario where he is tall enough to be good enough to be one of the starters, but lacks the motivation.but Yamaguchi he is just okay and wants to be as good as he can so he can play with the others. His small pockets of opportunity to stand on the court are far in between and few; but he works so hard that when the opportunity comes; he can actually take it. I think a lot of people knows how it feel to thrive for something out of reach, rather than be naturally good in something.

I also think he inspired the other bench warmers to try harder too. They saw how much he worked and wanted to stay on the court, so why didn't they work just as hard.

I also think it's inspiring that he managed to turn out more kind despite being bullied in elementary school. Of course, we see him have snide comments here and there, but their are not to the extent we have seen other characters in the series goad on each other. I mean oikawa was going to hit kags, hinata and kags call each other names all of the times (i know its their thing, but still. Pluss they had their fight in S2) Even kenma and taketora fought, two times! I mean, he could have turned out really bitter and resentful and one of those angsty characters. But he turned out kind.

He is in college prep classes too. Which means that he is pretty good in school. He is pretty smart. He was the one that agreed that they could use a little time before and after practice to help Hinata and Kags. So often he is portrayed that someone that needs help with school. That boy can carry his own grades.

He is tall. Sometimes in fic it seems like they describe Yama as really shorter than Tsukishima, but he is 180cm. It's pretty tall. But it kind of looks like he is on the shorter side since he if often compared to Tsukki.

What kind of discourse would start about you if you were a fictional character by varijacija

Are you a fandom fave? Does everyone love you or hate you or just doesn’t care about your character at all? Are you deserving of the fandom’s 100k length posts theorizing about you?

This is the funniest thing ever and I will take absolutely no criticism

[underrated-love]

oh my god no thinking of dad tendou calling his kid “my little monster” and now i want to SOB

he just makes cute little scary faces at them and they do the same. they think they’re so so scary and you absolutely must pretend to be frightened when they yell rawr at you. satori is a menace and teaches them that monsters bite so now you have two tendous chomping at you all around the house. they walk around with their fingers like little claws and hiss and growl at the house cat. they make themselves a monster costume and refuse to take it off until it falls apart. they tell everyone at school that they’re a big scary monster and then cry when everyone runs away (except one little girl, who you find out is ushiwaka’s daughter). they spike their hair up like their daddy’s because of course they want to look like the monster king. they stick a construction paper sign on their bedroom door that says “monsters only” which means only satori is allowed to go in.

they love being daddy’s little monster, and you love how satori’s taken a part of him that was so broken and turned it into something so… good.
