Did they believe in Santa?:

Yes, he did ! Tooru would make sure there was milk and cookies for Santa every Christmas, and would leave a handwritten note for him as well with little doodles on it ! ‘I wish for a new volleyball so Iwa-chan and I can play!’ and there would be stick figures of him and Hajime weljnweljf Tooru’s mother and big sis thought it was the cutest thing ever.

Were they a dinosaur or rock kid?:

Rock kid because he used to give Hajime pretty rocks he’d find on the ground because Iwaizumi means “rock” so lil Tooru naturally assumed he would like them ahahaha

Bugs or slimy critters?:

Tooru doesn’t like either !! He used to burst into tears and freeze up whenever Hajime stuck a bug on him for fun. As he got older, they don’t scare him to that extent anymore but whenever there’s a spider in the house, he’d still call Hajime over to catch it.

Do they fidget? How?:

Tooru fidgets with his hands and makes motions with them when he’s restless before a volleyball match or for the next set of the match. His face is always serious and composed but if he’s up against a difficult team, he can be seen fumbling around with his hands. Outside of volleyball, if he’s nervous about something he’ll shift his weight from leg to leg or twirl a finger in his bangs. When he first wears skirts, he’d unconsciously keep running his hands down the fabric to adjust it even if it looks fine.

What were they frequently in trouble for as a child?:

Tooru was a really sweet and well-behaved child and would pick flowers from the school garden to give to his teachers. They found it very cute but would have to gently tell him why he shouldn’t do that. He can also be very loud when he’s his cheerful self so a teacher might have to shush him every now and then.

What underwear do they like?:

Briefs / boxer briefs ! Tooru’s the type to have silly underwear too and I wouldn’t put it past him to have glow in the dark + space themed undies 🤣

Designs on clothing or no?:

Oh yes !! He’s very stylish so he likes all types of clothing, with designs or plain !

Birthmarks?:

Tooru doesn’t have any birthmarks, the only blemish he has on his skin are the self-harm scars along his right hip. During timeskip, he gains some stretch marks along his inner thighs which he gets a little insecure about !

Do they have good self control?:

In middle school, no. Tooru’s very emotional and insecure with himself and his skills at this time in his life. He overworked himself to the core and would not stop until Hajime would forcefully get him to, in which he’d get upset at his best friend and there would be many emotional outbursts. In high school, his self control is much better. He’d take breaks and properly rest his body but some of his harmful tendencies are still hard to curb.

Favorite franchise?:

Star Wars and Star Trek (even tho I know nothing about sci-fi media oOP)

Do they re-enact scenarios in the shower?:

Tooru re-enact the day’s matches and plays in his head whilst in the shower. He’s always thinking about how to improve himself and his team, and what he could have done better or which toss he should have gave instead for a different result.

Do they tell the waiter that their order is wrong?:

He does with a smile and he’s very polite about it !

Stairs or elevator?:

No preference, but he typically opts for the stairs since taking them is usually faster than waiting for the elevator.

Are they an exaggerator when telling stories?:

Absolutely ! Tooru knows how to charm and perform, plus it makes the story all the more interesting. On top of that, he’s a very animated speaker and uses his arms/body for emphasis while his tone fluctuates to add more dramatics to any story he tells.

What does your muse smell like?

Apart from products (cologne, moisturizers, deodorants, etc) Tooru naturally smells sweet ! Like even after a volleyball game, he still smells good ahahaha

What does your muse's hands feel like?

His hands are calloused from playing volleyball but he takes good care of his hands so they aren’t as rough as one would expect from someone who practices the sport so intensively

What does your muse usually eat in a day?

Mostly leftovers as his mother works two jobs and his older sister no longer lives at home. Breakfast usually consists of something simple like onigiri or toast. Occasionally after volleyball practice, he goes out with Hajime and his team to get ramen or a beef bowl. He eats milk bread at every chance he gets !! He drinks a lot of coffee too, even more than tea. Tooru’s a mess in the kitchen so if he has to cook, it’s mostly instant stuff ! In threads where he has a partner, they’re usually the one who cook for him first and Tooru eventually learns because he wants to cook for them too ! I also noticed that in my other threads with friends or aus with a twin, they make or get food for him too and it’s the sweetest thing wlejnfwlje thank you for feeding my boy qwq

Does your muse have a good singing voice?

He does ! He used to sing songs to Takeru to help calm him down or make him fall asleep. Tooru also sings his heart out at karaoke !! (here is tooru’s va singing ponyo)

Does your muse have any bad habits or nervous ticks?

One of his bad habits is self-harming. Whenever he performs badly, his anxieties/ frustrations about his self-worth and skill get to be too much and he cuts himself as a form of punishment. He does it on the right side of his hip as it’s the only place where no one will be able to see. Another bad habit is falling asleep with his contacts in after he gets home from school. As for nervous ticks, he twirls a finger into his bangs or fidgets with his hands before or during a volleyball game.

What does your muse usually look like/wear?

At school, he wears the Seijoh school and volleyball club uniforms. At home, his favourite lounge wear is a sweater paired with shorts. Outside, he’s experimenting with wearing skirts ! Tooru’s fringe is cut shorter in the beginning of timeskip but he grows it back out later. When it gets to be too long, he uses bobby pins to pin them back out of his eyes.

Is your muse affectionate? How so?

Anyone who’s interacted with Tooru knows that he’s suuuper affectionate ! If he’s very close to someone, one part of Tooru is usually touching the other person somewhere. He loves hugging, it gives him energy ! And in a relationship, it increases tenfold. Kisses, holding hands, cuddling---he loves to touch and be touched by his partner ;W;

What position does your muse sleep in?

Usually on his side but if his cat is sleeping with him, Mochi would sleep on his legs so he’s forced to sleep on his back and his legs get cramped and sore in the mornings LOL

Could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room?

Definitely !! Tooru’s voice commands for everyone’s attention wWLEJNFWLJ

what aesthetic color are you ?

dusty rose

My friend, you are hella aesthetic. Everything about you is thoughtful and intentional, from the way you present yourself to the way you've constructed your space. You'd probably make the most impressive cakes. You have a few close relationships that you've poured yourself into, and you both value the little every-day moments you have together. That said, sometimes you get a bit lost in the details and forget to take a holistic look at your life. Who have you left behind? Are you happy, or do you just look it? Remember to have an honest check-in with yourself sometimes.

Your Crystal Self

howlite

you thirst for knowledge with a one track mind. goal oriented and focused, it's always been easy for you to drive ahead. you won't let anything stop you from obtaining your goals. and you want those around you to succeed as well. you push your loved ones and while it might be overbearing at times, you try to be someone who lift up the people around them to their own level. i fear one day you might burn out. you might finally reach where you're going and realize you never appreciate the process. what happens once you have all you've wanted? where does the path end?

If he’s ever in a relationship where he’s emotionally and physically neglected by a romantic partner, Tooru’s endurance for it is around 8-12 months. He’d do his absolute best to make it work as he can tolerate a lot, but he’d develop extreme anxiety as a result. He’d be more withdrawn and obsess over his appearance more than usual because he’d constantly feel ugly.

answer some questions and i'll give you a character arc

romance/friendship arc

you started this story a little hard, or awkward, or stubborn. that's okay. it's harder than it should be to admit, but what you really want is love. that's what your story is all about - not just the act of loving, but the allowance of it. the confession that you do not want to fight or bleed or save the world, but to simply feel the way two hands fit so easily together. you will have two chairs and a table and you will shut your blinds, and you will say the word love without faltering. this is a happy ending, and you do not need to feel guilty. it hurts our hands to fight - never to hold.

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 ?

honey

"sugared mel e lingua serpentis." sugared honey from a serpent's tongue. oh dearest, look how you gleam. how the sunlight dances off your shoulders, how the heavens shine across your wingtips. but you are hollow, hollow, hollow. even the taste of nectar can choke a man. sometimes the sweetest flowers hide the sharpest poison. you lie to yourself, the worst lie of all. you needn't be so obsessed with perfect. the greatest beauty lies in our faults. do you think the moon apologizes for their mara? no, their craters add to their glow. my dear, breathe. you are not an island, breathe, before the honey drowns you. you wish to be lovely, you long to be loved. but did aphrodite trade her powers for perfection? she did not. you can be beautiful, and also whole. be whole above anything else dear. a heart of diamonds is worth nothing if inchor oozes from it. inward. look within and question how well do you know yourself? little petal are you trying to be a god? why? can a god bloom from sullen soil? no. you are whole as you are.

I feel like Tooru and Iwa-chan would have enjoyed the Ultraman series, since the Ultramen come from space and they fight against alien invaders and monsters to protect the universe. Tooru’s favourite is Ultraman Dyna.
