how haikyu boys would kiss you
you couldn’t go to bed without him. you were patiently waiting for his return from work by reading a book in a muffled light when you heard the door slam. you put the book on the nightstand near the bed as the door in the room opened. he looked exhausted, the tie half taken off, the top of the shirt unbuttoned, eyes extinguished. he slowly sat down across the bed and carefully put his hand on your ankle. he nervously exhaled as he squeezed your ankle a bit harder. you rushed to move closer to him taking his hand and making him look at you. he looked up in your eyes. there was no need for words. you could feel his desperate wish to forget about everything with you. he was tired and couldn’t ask more from you. the muffled light looked so good on him even though he was overwhelmed. your hand drew his head to you. your neck was covered with goosebumps as you felt his warm breath. he started kissing your neck slowly but desperately. he put all his gratitude and adoration in every kiss. your skin responded to every touch of his lips. it was so gentle, so careful and persistent at the same time as he was scared that you would disappear. he moved his hand from your ankle to the scapula pulling you closer. his lips held onto your skin longer with every time. he couldn’t get enough of you.

you were studying for your midterm as he was sitting in an armchair reading some magazine. “it’s so cold here” he said unobtrusively. you smirked but didn’t look away from the papers “then put some clothes on.” you could feel his unsatisfied gaze at you. he put down his magazine and crossed his legs. “my love, can you bring me my hoodie? i would’ve done it myself but I don’t know where you put it. I think you could use a little break. I bet these papers got the best time of their existence by getting your undivided attention. your eyes shouldn’t work that hard.” you agreed with him and got up. your neck was a mess after sitting with all these notes for several hours. and as you were passing him he grabbed your hand making you fall onto his lap. “seriously, that was your plan?” you laughed. he grinned getting your hair behind your ear “not yet.” he raised his knee so you would lean on his chest. he moved his finger to your chin drawing your lips to his. “god, I missed them these hours” he said before kissing you impulsively, supporting your back with his free hand so you wouldn’t fall. after a while he would grab your other leg managing to get you completely sit on him.

you both finally got home after exhausting party at work of yours. you two were a little tipsy as you thought it would help to take the stress off. and since when he hadn’t stop from commenting on everything and you hadn’t stop laughing at every his line. you finally took a break and said tiredly "oh gosh, I wish we didn’t have to change and just went to sleep like that.” he glanced at you while taking the shoes off and smiled. “alright.” he effortlessly lifted you in the air holding you under the arms. he carried you this way to the living room. he laid on the couch putting you on him. he was trying to get in the right position so you would feel comfortable. you tried to resist at first but finally let your head rest on his warm, giant chest. you’ve never felt this secure and safe. he patted your head softly, kissing it every time his hand got to your neck. when you fell asleep he couldn’t help it and carefully placed your hands closer to his head, so he would lovingly kiss them in order not to wake you up. this was the moment he wanted to carry with him everywhere for the rest of his life.

you were having breakfast and tried to concentrate on the amount of things you had to do today. “mood spoiled from the very start of the day?” he tilted his head surprised by how cute you looked. you frowned and put the phone away “just a list of things I got to do.” he smirked “am I on this list? oh fuck, I’m gonna be late.” he pulled your chair closer to him with his foot enjoying the view and then suddenly enfolded your face with both of his hands. he devilishly suffocated you with his lips not letting go of your face. it was so passionate as if he literally drank all the blood from your lips. he stopped as his hand was sliding from your cheek to your chin. he definitely was going to do all of that it again. but then he froze in millimeter from your lips and whispered “don’t forget to return me this one when I get back.” he left giving you an air kiss. oh, this man… what you had to do today by the way?

Galaxy Boy (Yamaguchi x Fem!Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: Yamaguchi overhears Y/n talking about how much she hates her *‘freckles’ so Yamaguchi wants her to give him a makeover- but gets a whole lot more than he bargained for
*reader does not have to have freckles to read, of course
---This is a repost from my previous acc Pinkipeachiikeen (one 'i' after pink, not two like my new one) Keeping up with two accounts was too much so I decided to merge it into my main (was formerly pansexualproblemchild) and keep the name for the most part
Content warnings: VERY anxious/insecure Yams. and VERY BRIEF mentions of self harm? (Yams mentions picking freckles off)
Tumblr media
“I look DISEASED!”
“Girl, you look fine.”
“Do you not see them! I’m hideous! 
“Y/n, it’s not even that bad! Stop being so dramatic.”
“I’m not being dramatic!” she claims as she slams her locker, causing a metallic ring through the deserted hallway, making both her and the boy peeking around the corner flinch. “Okay, Maybe I was being the slightest bit dramatic.” The girl admits, fidgeting with her fingers as she looks away sheepishly. God she’s so cute. Yamaguchi sighs. And so out of my league. The said object of the boy's affection turns her head around to almost catch his eye, but he dives behind the corner at lightning speed, holding his breath. “What are you looking at?” Her friend asks. “Nothing, I just thought I heard something.”
Yamaguchi can feel his heart almost beating out of his chest. What am I even doing here? He was just walking back from the bathroom and he heard his friend's voice and wanted to say hi, but didn’t wanna interrupt the conversation she was having. So naturally, he ends up hiding because talking to the other sex is scary, even if it’s just Y/N, someone he’s known for ages.
And someone who had a crush on them for almost as long.
Yamaguchi never meant to fall for her, it just kind of happened, like most cases of young love. Y/n is just so- How can Yamaguchi even explain it? She’s just so ethereal to him. Like a fairy, brightening up everyone's world, and pulling them out of their dark, dim shell.  She speaks her mind and stands her ground, something that is so foreign to him, that he tends to forget she struggles with her own troubles from time to time as well. Yamaguchi finds himself feeling lucky he got to see her become much more outgoing and comfortable in her skin over the years, but almost gets whiplash from seeing her stumble on her words and hide behind her hair with him, then biting back with playful- but harsh- jabs with Tsukishima. 
He remembers the day he met her almost like it was yesterday. Back then he had no idea that she’d change his life forever, he just liked her drawing of her pet dog. She’d always been an artist, and he remembers watching her trying out different mediums every week. She’d show up to school with her bag stuffed to the brim with different pencils, markers and even paints. She had to learn to carry all her supplies in a separate bag after one tube burst open all over the contents of her bag. After that she had bags on bags on bags filled with all the materials she planned to use throughout the day and they only got more complex over the years. Yamaguchi recalls the day she ran into their shared classroom and announced that your new canvas of choice would be skin, as she wanted to experiment with makeup. Soon after the bags of art supplies dwindled down to her makeup case and bag of skincare products she used and tried to convince him and Tsuhishima to invest in, which had little avail. Much like the times where she’d ask him and Tsukishima to pose as models in her pieces, she would ask them to be the models or ‘test subjects'  for her makeup looks. 
Well not exactly. She never asks Yamaguchi to model. 
He has to pretend that doesn’t hurt each time. 
Yamaguchi shakes his head, banishing those thoughts away from his mind, once again. He doesn’t need that right now. “I’m serious though!” Her voice draws him back to reality, and back to the conversation. How does she look diseased? He asks himself. He thinks she’s the most gorgeous being alive, but he’s just a bit biased. 
 “I stay in the sun too long ONCE and get all these freaking blemishes on my face. Once!” She complains, pointing to her face. Wait- is she pointing at- Her friend shakes her head. “It’s not even that bad! Can’t you use a cream or something to get rid of them?” Y/n shakes her head. “I tried everything! At this point i’m considering picking them off.” What?! Her friend sighs. “You really are dumber than I thought. How would you get to practice makeup with big old gashes on your skin? And you know they would probably just come back.” her friend reasons. Y/n flutters her lips as she adjusts her bag. “Yeah, I know. I'm just tired of looking at them And using so much makeup to cover them up all the damn time. I’m almost out of concealer. Again.” Y/n said something else as her and her friend walked back to their classroom, but they were too far out of earshot at that point and Yamaguchi couldn’t seem to care. His heart was plagued with her words. 
“Diseased.”
“Hideous.”
Yamaguchi felt sick. The only thing on her face that was even relatively new that she could be talking about was her freckles. Like the ones completely decorating his face. Y/N never had freckles growing up, but she did always complain about having sensitive skin and could’ve easily gotten them from the sun like she mentioned earlier. Her words keep running through his head with no end in sight. She’d rather harm herself than have freckles? Harm herself in stead of looking like me? He’s aware that she was probably being dramatic, but logic has no place in the mind of an anxious teen.  If she thinks that way about herself and her few freckles, what does she think of me? Yamaguchi takes a deep breath in and adjusts his clothing that was wrinkled against the lockers. He knows what he has to do. 
“What are you even going on about?” Tsukkisima asks, barely looking away from his homework he and Yamaguchi are supposed to be working on. “It’s nothing, i’m just being stupid” Yamaguchi grumbles as he fiddles with the pencil in his hand. “What’s the answer to number six?”
“It’s four.” Tsukishima states blankly.
“‘Kay, thanks.” he replies, filling in the answer on his worksheet before the tip tap of the pencil hitting the desk returns.  For every tip tap of the pencil Tsukishima’s patience only grew thinner  until he grasps Yamaguchi’s twiddling pencil
. “Stop that shit. What’s up?” Yamaguchi bites his lip and mutters something incomprehensible.  “Huh? Speak up.”
 “Why doesn’t Y/n ask me to model for her!?” Yamaguchi shouts, bursting out of his seat and  slamming his hands down on the table garnering stares from everyone else in the library. Tsukishima’s eyes widen at his friend's outburst as Yamaguchi’s flushed face only gets redder. “Sorry.” he apologizes, settling back down in his chair. 
“You really wanna be Y/ns test subject?” Tsukishima side eyes Yamaguchi.
 “Well I- uh- I mean.” he bites his lip. “I don’t necessarily not want to…y’know.” Yamaguchi tries to avoid Tsukishima's annoyed gaze. “It would be nice to be thought of?” Yamaguchi states trying to convince Tsukishima that any normal friend would want to be a makeup ‘test subject’, regardless of any romantic feelings involved.
“Dude.”
“Yes?”
“You’re freaking whipped. It’s pathetic.”
Damn, so much for that attempt. “I’m not…” Yamaguchi meets Tsukishima's gaze, already calling his bluff. “Okay maybe a little bit. But is that so bad?” Yamaguchi signs and clunks his head to the table.
 “ This shit has been going on for way too long. I’m starting to believe it’s a fucking kink or something since no one would actively draw this awkward pining shit out.” Yamaguchi rolls his eyes. It’s not like he would understand. He likes to bat off any and all feelings with a 5 foot pole. “I didn’t consent to observe this over the past.. .” He numbers off his fingers. “How long has it been? Four years?” Yamaguchi mutters something into the table. “Were you talking to the table or?” Tsukishima questions.
 “I said,'' Yamaguchi picks his head up so his chin rests on his folded arms “five years.” A moment of silence passes. “Five fucking years? Do you not realize that means you spent a whole third of your life simping over this girl. A third! Can you imagine what you could’ve done with all that emotional turmoil instead?”
 “Do you not think I ask myself that question everyday?” Yamaguchi snaps, as Tsukishima's eyes widen. Yamaguchi exhales. Calm down, Tadashi. He’s just trying to help. Yamguchi rubs his eyes trying to cast away the exhaustion creepy in. Whether it be physical or emotional, he couldn’t tell.   “Look, i’m trying to work on it, ok?”
“Work on what?”
Yamaguchi swears he jumped at least a foot in his seat and his heart stopped beating, every ounce of fatigue is zapped out of him with Y/n’s subtle and friendly shoulder touch. Yamaguchi didn’t necessarily hate her touch, not in the slightest, even though her hand recoiled after his full body reaction to it, assuming he did. He loves the subtle touches she gives to her friends, even if they make him panic internally- whether he and Tsukishima were talking about her before then or not.
“I’m sorry!” She apologized. “ I didn’t mean to startle you!”
“It’s fine!” He breathed, clutching his chest and heaving. “I’m fine!” 
He was not fine but he quickly gathered his senses anyway to come up with a cover story because ‘Oh we were talking about my everlasting and undeniable love and attraction for you and how it’s crippling me inside! Nothing important! Just boy things.’ isn’t something Yamaguchi just felt fine confessing; that was the root of the problem after all. 
“Tsukki here,” Yamaguchi starts, pointing a friendly thumb to the visibly annoyed Tsukishima “won’t stop teasing me about my  homework, and I was telling him to buzz off about it.” he gives a little chuckle and wonders if he’s visibly sweating. Y/n furrows her eyebrows, finding it hard to believe that he told anyone to buzz off at all, and even more hard to believe that he said that to Tsukishima, the salt king himself. She recalled a time where he offered to tutor her in the same subject he’s now struggling in when she fell behind after a few sick days, but she doesn’t press the matter and moves on with an awkward ‘Okaaaay?'' She turns to Tsukishima. “So Tsukishima!”- “No, I'm not gonna be your test subject. You could never pay me enough.” Tsukishima interrupts. “Damn.” she sighs. “Worth a shot!”  Then Tsukishima does something so traitorous it may startle the very foundation of their extensive, and once unbreakable friendship.
“Ask Yamaguchi, he’d love to be your dress-up dolly for the night.”
Yamaguchi pales Tsukishima Kei what the hell are you doing?!?! He casts the traitor a wide eyed look and attemps to kick him in the shin, but misses and kicks the table leg.  Y/n takes note of poor Yamaguchi’s immense panic (and now, pain) and quickly retorts in what she believes to be his defense. “Tsuki, don’t sign him up for things like that, it’s mean!” 
Wait. 
Does she not think I'm good enough?
Is it because of my freckles?
Say something, you freak!
So in a moment of immense self-pressure, he states,  albeit a bit too loud (once again),
“I- I can do it!”
All three of their eyes widen in disbelief. Tsukishimas in astonishment and a bit of pride for Yamaguchi finally doing something, anything to advance his relationship and end the horrid pining, Yamaguchi in fear and surprise of his own actions and the repercussions of them and Y/n in something Yamaguchi can’t yet decipher.
“What?” Y/n asks. “Um- I- Uh..” Yamaguchi gathers himself, clears his throat and sits up straight, almost regretting when he meets Y/n’s eyes. “I can help you with your makeup-  as a m-model of course.” He specifies. Y/n’s eyes widen and he mouth hangs agape. “You really don’t have to!” she blurts. Yamaguchi’s heart sinks. Of course. Why would she me to model of all people. Theres as reason she hasn’t asked you, idiot. 
“Not because I wouldn’t want you to!” she corrects after seeing him deflate in his seat. “I- I just don’t want you to feel pressured into doing something you don’t want to! Thats- uh- that’s why I haven’t asked you before because you are always so nice and helpful! And I- I didn’t want you to feel pressured to do anything you didn’t want to for my sake!” she clarifies with her hand fiddling with the bottom of her uniform.
 “Then why do you ask me all the time?” Tsukishima chimes in. Y/n’s head and personality does a 180 as she whips her head to face him.
 “Beacause, you are an asshole and it’s fun to annoy you, duh.” She states like it’s obvious before she turns back to Yamaguchi. “I would love to have you as my model, if you would have me of course.” Yamaguchi gulps and nods his head, trying to ignore what other meanings ‘if you would have me’  could have out of context. Damn, Tsukki was right. I am whipped. “Yay!” she says with a little hand clap. “I’m so excited! Text me when you can come over! I’m free  most days!” Wait. Shit. Shit, shit shit! Yamaguchi, in all his newfound confidence (and pressure from his best friend) forgot that he most likely would be modeling at a house. Probably hers and most likely alone. What the hell did I get myself into?
Yamaguchi never thought a door would be so intimidating. Just knock! He tells himself. It’s not hard! He gulps. Welp. Here goes everything, I guess.  He slowly raises his shaking fist to the door, just for it to swing open and make Yamaguchi jump in the air like a scared cat from a cartoon. “Hey Yams! Come on in!” She ushers, not noticing, or caring about his skittish reaction as she grabs his hand and takes him to her room.
Before he has time to really panic that ‘y/n is holding my hand, oh my freaking god! What if it’s gross?  What if im sweaty? Whatifwhatifwhatif-’ He’s already in her room- which bring in a whole new set of worries. Holy shit I'm in a girls room. Holt shit. I’m in Y/N’s room. I”M IN Y/N’s ROOM. It’s not like he hasn’t been in her room before. As kids, the trio of Tsukishima, Y/n and Yamaguchi,  would fight over the correct names of dinosaurs and who got to be the pterodactyl when playing with Tsukishima’s toy dinos between these four walls. The four walls, which now were painted and decorated with anime posters and pictures of her favorite idols along with some of her most treasured art works you made over the years instead of the many, many, many scribbles from half baked drawings in crayon and marker that she hid from her parents with the pictures she drew in class. He remembers you bursting into class one day a few years ago, excited to tell them that even though her parents knew of the childish scribbles you made on the wall in bouts of ‘artistic genius’ they offered to help you redecorate and paint over it . 
It makes him realize how long it has been since you really spent time together.
Has it really been that long?
How far has he really drifted from you?
“Earth to Yamaguchi?” Yamaguchi snaps his head to Y/n’s voice. Shit. How long has she been talking? “There you are!” she giggles. 
“Oh, i’m sorry!” he apologizes as he rubs the back of his neck. “ I just got distracted by…yknow,” he gestures to the ‘new’ redecortaed room. “All of this. It’s kind of hard to recognize without the big lion drawing on that wall.” he points.
 “It was a superhero!” she corrects as he chuckles. “I can’t tell you which one it was supposed to be though.” she admits meekly. “Now come on!’ she encourages as she plops down on her rug. “Sit right here.” she points to the spot right in front of her
. “O-Okay.” he gulps and obeys, trying not to relish in the fact that he’s barely a foot away from his crush, in a house that’s empty but the two of them.
 “So, I was wondering if you had any restrictions before we start?” Y/n aks as she begins to lay out her products.
 “Restrictions?”
“Y’know, things you really don’t feel comfortable with. Like I won’t give you clown makeup or anything!” she promises. “But I do have a more extravagant out-of-this-world idea when it comes to you.” Out of this world? Yamguchi questions. “Oh! And I want it to be a surprise! Not because of anything bad I just really wanna see you reaction to your final look! I understand if you aren’t comfortable with that of course!” her voice starts to speed up, much like his when he feels like his is rambling on and on. “I am really grateful for you being here and letting me do this and i certainly don’t-
” “Hey.” Yamaguchi places his hand on hers, out of pure instinct, but draws it back after both pairs of eyes drifted down to them. “I- I really don’t mind either way!  To be honest!” Yamaguchi reveals with a large, friendly grin as Y/n’s shoulders relax and a soft smile reaches her face. 
“Okay, got it!” She says cheerfully as she pulls out a few more products from her makeup bag. “And Yamaguchi?” She turns to face him.
“Hmm?”
Her eyes meet his as she softly speaks.
“Thank you for being here. It really means a lot to me.” She tucks her hair behind her ear. “I..really miss you, y’know?” 
Yamaguchi swears he’s never seen something as ethereal as she is right now, her figure doused by the sunset peeking through the window on her left, a sheepish, shy smile complimenting her relaxed and welcoming body. 
His lips move on their own as he  opens them to say “Y/n, i-”
“Oh this is just your shade!” she announces. “Don’t you think?” she asks as she puts a dollop of what Yamaguchi believes to be foundation on his wrist and rubs it in. “It fits perfectly!” She exclaims. oh. “Yeah, it does.” He agrees, with a pitch of sadness in his voice that he hopes isn’t recognizable. 
As Y/n starts working on his face Yamaguchi can’t help but to slip into those deprecating thoughts that follow him around like a shadow and take him by force into the darkness. Especially in times like this.
She doesn’t like you like that! It’s very obvious, even an idiot like you should be able to see that!
She doesn’t even want you here!  She’s just being polite!
She thinks you are HIDEOUS, remember? DISEASED!
Yamaguchi does what he can to combat the demons in his head and the subtle stinging in his eyes. 
“And just a few drops of concealer!” she states as she blends the creamy liquid under his eyes. “But-” Yamaguchi starts. Y/n lets out a slight “hmm?” as she looks through her makeup for a specific item. “I-I don’t think that would be enough.” He stammers as her eyes meet his figure once again. “To y’know,” he gulps. “cover all of this” he motions to his cheeks. “What do you mean?” she asks. He bites his lip as a woeful look crept over her face.
 “Yamaguchi..” she utters in a sorrowful tone, like she’s comforting a child. He can’t stand to look at her when she uses this voice, he already feels on the verge of tears
. “Is that why you wanted me to do your makeup? To cover your freckles?” He nods into his shoulders. “I-” she sighs. “I’m sorry, Yams. I can’t do that. It’s not right.” Yamaguchi quickly meets her eyes. 
“W-what? Why?”
 She shakes her head. “Your freckles are a part of you Yamaguchi. You’ve had them all your life and they are what makes you you. I’m not gonna hide them. I thought you told me you stopped worrying about your freckles in middle school.”
I did, for the most part. But it’s different when the love of your life basically calls you ugly.
He opens his mouth to say something, but bites his lip in shame. She starts to put her makeup into her bag. “You can ask someone else, but I can’t do that. I just can’t.” Yamaguchi is being pulled every which way by his emotions .Confusion, anger, hurt, guilt. So much so he blurts out half baked words;
“Do you think I'm hideous and disgusting?”
Y/n whips her head around from the makeup she was placing away.  “What?! No! Of course not! Where did you get that id-” 
“I heard you!” he says, once again far too loud.  “I-in the hallway near the lockers.” he says in a much more calm and rational manner. “I wasn’t- I really wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, I just wanted to say hi!” he looks away, at the floor, at the ceiling- at the abundance of plushies on her bed, anywhere but the disappointed face he expects to see “But you were talking to your friend about your freckles and how you try so hard to cover them and get rid of them and how they are disgusting, and shitty!” He’s facing her now  but he can only focus on how much it  hurts.The words piling and piling out, red hot from years and years of painful silence- stabbing him, branding him with the fear and self hatred he already harbored since he was young. “And you- you only have a handful of them while- while i have a freaking constellation on my face! And I-” he wipes his face, now aware of the outgoing tears.  “I can’t get rid of them! No matter how many times I try to hide them, no matter how many times I try to pick them off they- they always return! And I can’t change that! No matter how many times I try! And I do try, so so fucking hard So if you- the most beautiful person thinks that they are ugly in any way shape or form, then what does that make me?!” The tears are blurring his vision now, blinding him from the horrified look on Y/n’s face, eyes wide with her own tears starting to simmer- but Yamaguchi can’t find himself to care. “I- just want to be-” he chokes as he gasps for air. “I just want to be enough for you!” he wails. “That’s all I ever wanted to be! And- and you are just so perfect in every way! How can i?” he sniffles and hiccups, calming down where he can only see her tear stricken face.
“How can I ever be enough for you?”
And suddenly, it was never about his freckles.
No, it was about a boy, a boy locked away in the tower of his own head, beaten black and blue by his demons wanting love- wanting to just be enough for someone. For anyone.
For her
For himself. 
And he just opened the floodgates
What have I done? 
Yamaguchi barely recognizes her touch embracing him at first, as reality settles in fast and hard, grounding him and shattering him. Shattering all the resolve he’s built up for years and years leaving him defenseless in her arms. What have I done? Oh my god.
What have I done?
“I’m so- so sorry!” She cries into his arms, but he sits still paralyzed by fear, regret and everything he doesn’t know. About her. About him. About the two of them. What have I done? “Tadashi!” she calls “Tadashi, please.” He shakes his head, trying to self medicate and take himself out of his trance. “I’m so sorry.” he whispers into the air, avoiding her eyes. She shakes her head. “Tadashi please.” she sobs. “Look at me.” she begs as he lifts his head a little bit. She holds his chin lightly and looks into his eyes. “Tadashi please, listen to me.” His eyes finally meet hers and she can see him coming through. “Tadashi, you have always been enough. Always have been and always will be.” she sniffles. “God, I'm so fucking in love with you.”
What?
“I- I know, I know it’s crazy but I loved you since the day we met, Tadashi. I remember feeling so alone- and i was so freaking awkward- sitting under that tree, drawing. I was watching all the other kids play and I felt so alone, but then like a ray of sunshine, you walked over and told me you liked the picture I was drawing of my dog. I just was so enamored of the little boy with big eyes and the cutest freckles. I might not have known it then, but I've known for a little while that I'm head over heels for you. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.” she reveals as she wipes her eyes on her shirt. Her eyes locked on his, he could barely register anything she said past “I’m so fucking in love with you.” 
“I’m so fucking in love with you.” 
“I’m so fucking in love with you.” 
“With me?”
She giggles as she lightly punches his arm. “Yes, you! Who else?” she confirms as he gulps. He didn’t mean to say that out loud. “But why? I’m not-” She makes a buzzer noise and shakes her head. “Yamaguchi, you are the nicest, most hardworking, most outgoing, amazing person I know. I’m lucky to have you in my life.” Yamaguchi feels his face heating up by the second. “You were the one always encouraging me to do my best with my art and supporting me even when I never though I could do it. You are the first one I want to come to when I have good or bad news and the first one I share my art pieces with. It’s you Yamaguchi.”Once again Yamaguchi feels the pricking of tears in his eyes, but for a different reason this time.  she chuckles and leans into an awkward laugh. “Wow, it feels so strange finally saying that out loud after all those years. I thought it was obvious after all the times I was caught staring at you in class, and all the times I suddenly became super clumsy around you. Hell, I was terrified of even being alone with you like this that’s why I never asked you to- “ she pauses, seeing tears swell up in his eyes, again. “Eh? No, please don’t cry!” she begs as Yamaguchi lets out a soft laugh. 
“I’m just so happy. I loved you for so long, Y/n.” he reveals as he wipes his eyes.
 Y/n gulps. “Shit.” she utters. 
“What?” he says alarmed. 
“This means Tsukishima’s right. We are two pining idiots.” she reveals as Yamaguchi throws back a laugh.
 “He gave you the talk too?” 
She groans. “Only like every other day! I’m surprised he never spilled to either of us. No wonder why he was always so annoyed.” she giggled. Y/n clears her throat, sits straight and pushes up her imaginary glasses. “I’ve watched you simp for way too long, any longer i’m going to demand compensation. 500 yen every time I see you staring at him, 1000 for every dreamy sigh and fluttering of the eyelashes and 1500 for every time you complain about ‘how it’s illegal to be that cute.” she mimic in her best Tsukishima voice
 Yamaguchi cackles “No, no no,” he corrects between breaths of laughter. “It’s like..” he clears his throat as he preforms a slightly better Tsukishima impersonation. “All this endless pining has to be a kink or some shit- and I didn’t fucking consent.” Y/n clutches her sides in laughter as Yamaguchi makes sure he processes every second of this moment, one he’s deemed to replay time and time again. Just the two of them acting like fools again, just like they did before- but now without the fear of rejection and being vulnerable. Yamaguchi could never dream of something more beautiful. 
She waves her hand in his face as he snaps back to reality.
 “Huh?” he questions as she laughs. 
“Yamaguchi, I swear you have the attention span of a goldfish.” she teases as she nudges him. 
“Yamaguchi?” he repeats slowly as she cocks her head.
. “Yes? That’s your name?” she states as he shakes his head.
 “That’s not what you called me earlier.” Her face tints red as a goofy grin takes over her face. “Okay, Tah-da-shi!” she gives his nose a little boop per syllable as the same red tint and goofy grin transfers to him.
 “What I was trying to ask before you went all space cadet on me was if Tsukishima actually said that.” she asks. “Hmm,” he hums as he taps his pointer finger on his chin.
 “Depends if the part about you staring at me and sighing dreamily was true.” he questions with a raised eyebrow and a smirk, suddenly confident. Her jaw drops as she stammers.
 “Who- who allowed you to smirk like that?”
“Who allowed you to be all cute and flustered?”
“Stoppp!” she whines as she hides her face as he chuckles. “You know what!” she announces. “I did stare at you in class.” she admits as she pokes his chest. “You and all your cute freckles. I always tried counting them but always lost count or felt like a creep for staring. But-” she inches closer to his face. “I couldn’t help it, I've always been a sucker for pretty boys like you.” he gulps. 
“Y-you think i’m pretty?” he whispers as she hums in agreement. 
“Well you- you can count them now if- if you’d like.” he offers, hoping to all gods his voice didn’t crack like he thought it just did. “I’d love to.” she mumps and closes the distance and places a kiss on his cheek, and on one of his freckles.
“One.”
Another freckle
“Two.”
Another freckle
“Three.”
Another freckle
“Four-”
Yamaguchi couldn’t take it anymore and leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Time felt like it slowed for him as he savored every moment of her sweet, soft lips on his. It was short and sweet, but left them breathless all the same and left them smiling into each other as they caught their breath.
“Hey Tadashi?”
“Yeah?”
“What did you mean earlier? About the hallway?”
Shit. He forgot about that.
“Uh…” he bites his lip. “It doesn’t really matter, how about we just keep kissing, yeah?” he diverts as she stops him, placing her hand on his chest with a giggle. 
“Ah-ah-ah. None of that.”
 he pouts. “So.. what you are saying is you don’t wanna kiss me?” he retorts, biting his lip, holding in a giggle of his own
. “I definitely did not say that, Yamaguchi.”
“Tadashi.” he corrects
“Tadashi.” she repeats, playfully rolling her eyes. “I’m serious. I wanna clear it all up right now so there's no more misunderstandings with us, okay?” 
Yamaguchi sighs. “Fineeee. But please don’t make a big deal or laugh at me or anything, okay?” She frowns. “Why would I ever laugh at you?” He shrugs and takes a deep breath in.”I might have heard you in the hallway a few days ago talking about how much you hate your freckles and how you think they are shitty, and gross. You said you just use makeup to cover them so I thought you could do that for me? And when you said you wouldn’t it made me feel-” he stops as he sees her covering her mouth in what he only assumes could be an attempt to hold back her laughter. “You said you wouldn’t laugh!” he whines.
 “I'm not-” she starts, and attempts to act composed, but with little avail as laughter seeps through the cracks and she begins to howl in laughter as Yamaguchi crosses his arms. “I’m sorry- I really am!” she says between gasps of laughter. “But- but you think- you think these are freckles?” she questions, pointing to what Yamaguchi believes is a freckle on her face. He nods dumbly. “Yeah…what else would they be?”
 “Acne!” she exclaims. “Blackheads, to be exact! Dirt, grease, grime and sweat that crept into my pores and clogged them!”
“What.”
Y/n throws her head back in laughter. “So you were so worried over nothing! This,” she takes a deep breath in to regain composure. “This is why we don’t eavesdrop.”
 “I wasn’t trying to! I- I just wanted to say hi! I-It’s really not my fault you talk so loud!’ He pouts as he crosses his arms and looks away.
 “Tadashi, you are so cute. Worrying over what lil ole’ me thinks.” she pinches his cheeks. “I’m not-” he nudges her grabby hand off of him with his shoulder and sits up straight, trying to maintain the smidge of dignity he has left.
 “I’m not cute, first of all. Second, your ‘lil ole opinions’ mean a lot to me, if you didn’t get that earlier.” he reveals, blushing. “I wasn’t lying when I said that my freckles stopped bothering me in middle school. It's not easy to just forget and get over something I struggled with all my life.” he references to earlier. Hearing you say- or at least thinking I heard you say how much you hate them really hurt me, as much as I hate to admit. I know it’s pathetic-”
 “It’s not.” she interrupts. 
“It’s really not. We all have our insecurities, we all have our demons, we all have our limits. One thing that those things all have in common is the tendency people have to ignore them or pretend they don't exist.” She explains. “It’s so much easier to do then accept them, because when you finally do,” she looks into  his eyes. “You learn to overcome them. It may take ages, and you may never fully get over them. But it’s a sure lot more than what most people are able to do. And you,” she pokes his chest. “Are so much stronger than you believe. Admitting your insecurities, looking them in the eye and accepting that although they may bother you some now, they don’t have half as much of a hold on you than before. It’s amazing, Tadashi. You are amazing.” 
In that moment he knew that he may never feel enough for anyone or anything 24/7 and may feel the ups and downs that life will inevitably bring- but he has her and she’ll be around to remind him that he is, and that is all he needs. 
“Now that that’s settled, time to finish your look!” she cheers as she claps her hands.
“Wait, what?” he questions. “I thought you didn’t wanna do my makeup anymore after I told you I wanted my freckles covered?” she shakes her head. “Nope.” she says, popping the ‘p’ at the  end. “I think it’s more important to do it now than ever!” she exclaims with a smile engulfing her face. How was Yamaguchi supposed to say no to that?
“O-okay!”

Tsukishima couldn’t sleep. If you’d ask him why, he’d probably say it’s because a headache (even though the he’s bouncing a volleyball against his wall causing loud thumps guaranteed to make any headache immensely worse.) and under no circumstance him worrying for his best friend who, earlier acted like he had a date with death, instead of a date with his crush. 
‘it’s not a date! Just two people hanging out and doing makeup! Just friendly activities!” Yaaguchi whined as he closed his locker. Tsukishima rolled his eyes and sighed. “I don’t give a fuck. But if you two don't walk into class together holding hands i’m having Shrimpy serve a spike on your fat, dumb head.” he promises and walks away as he hears Yamaguchi complain about not having a fat head and Hinata (who came out of nowhere- as per usual)  get all mad about being called Shrimpy even though he was never directly mentioned. 
Hmm. Maybe Tsukishima does have a headache. A Yamaguchi sized one. 
THWACK
The volleyball he was tossing bounced back past his hands- and onto his face. God damn it. He tosses the ball off of his bed and grabs his phone, in need of a mindless distraction that won’t bruise his face and break his glasses. 
Oh? A mention from Yamaguchi? Isn’t he supposed to be with Y/n right now?
He clicks on it and it's the absolute last thing he’d ever expect to see. 
A picture of Yamaguchi, shyly looing into the camera with the most bashful smile he’s ever seen on the boy, and a mirage of of  pinks, blues and purples decorating his face, with spreckels of silver littering his face with lines connecting them, almost mirroring his freckles-no;
They were stars.
A galaxy
A Constellation. 
But the most surprising feat in the photo was Y/n with he arms around his neck, looking into his eyes with nothing but clear admiration and content, with sloppy dots- freckles- across her face that she most likely had Yamaguchi do for her with makeup, ones that almost matched his everyday look. Below the picture was a caption reading;
My Galaxy Boy
With sparkles following and preceding the words. He scoffs and shakes his head playfully. That's so y/n. The he scrolls down to see where Yamaguchi tagged him;
@Tskeishima Is my fat head safe?
He smirks as he types;
@sweetyamagashi For now.
Took yall long enough.

Slight emergency request
I just broke my 27 day streak of s/h, feeling guilty abt it..is it okay if I ask for Yams, Tsukki and tendou comforting their s/o abt it,, like they figure it out themselves and confront the reader. Sorry if it’s too much ,,
No issue!
So sorry for the delay, I hope you’re doing much better now.
Just remember, one relapse does not define your progress!
What I do when I get those kinds of thoughts, I draw fake tattoos on myself from all of my favorite animes.
I also love to write Kanji for meaningful phrases all over my arms and legs. I’m thinking of getting some done in the future!

Tadashi knew that you had entered a rough patch almost immediately.
The way you replied to him changed
Your usual starry-eyed smiles changed to ones with lifeless eyes.
He was so distraught in trying to help you; you just didn’t ask him though, and it broke his heart.
One fateful afternoon, before practice, he had seen you exiting the restroom, seating yourself on a bench in the court yard.
He happily bounded over to you, a beaming smile on his face.
“Good morning, (Y/N)!”
You looked up to your boyfriend with a genuine grin, “Morning, ‘Dashi.”
“How’s your day going so far? Feeling any better?” He wasted no time plopping next to you, pulling out two granola bars, and handing you one.
“It’s been okay.” You said with a faux cheerfulness, “Things seem to be turning around for me.”
“That’s fantastic!” He cooed, unwrapping his snack and taking a tiny bite, “You don’t know how happy that makes me.”
Acting as a lead anchor, the guilt smacked into you. You couldn’t help but tremble as tears welled in your eyes.
“So, I was thinking that maybe we could go to the art gallery later. How does that s- (Y/N)?”
Within a second, he was kneeling in front of you, taking hold of one of your hands.
His thumb rubbed along the base of your own, touches soft as rain.
“My love, you don’t have to pretend for me.” He whispered with a sweet gentleness, “If you aren’t doing okay, you can always tell me truthfully.”
Your shaking figure only broke down further, completely letting loose and sobbing. “I-im such a liar, ‘Dashi.”
Yamaguchi began to rub up and down your arms in an attempt to make you feel better. As his fingers moved along your forearms, he noticed your repetitive wincing.
“Oh! Sorry.” Honey I-“ he turned your arm upward and pinched your sleeve with two fingers, trying to move it up.
“Don’t.” you cut him off in a labored whisper, eyes widening in fear.
He sighed, wearing a patient smile. “Is it safe to assume I’ll find what I think I will?”
You nodded shamefully into his shoulder, unable to formulate any other response.
“That’s okay.” He replied softly, “Let’s head home.”
“But you have-“
“I can skip.”
You sighed and broke out of the hug, meeting his eyes with your teary ones. “Tadashi…”
“I always have time for you. This isn’t your fault, and I want to make sure you understand that. Nothing that you do or say can keep me from ensuring your safety. But it doesn’t matter what I have to do, I’ll make sure you’re okay.” He rose to his feet and offered you his arm.
You stood up, sniffling, carefully linking your own arm with his.
Upon arrival, you and Tadashi settled on the couch to watch your favorite movie. He held you with a gentle tightness, only enough to make you feel secure.
“So, let’s address the elephant in the room.” Yamaguchi started quietly, “I want you firstly to know that I’m not mad at you. I could never be mad at you for something like this.”
“I know I said that I would do better, I know I promised you but I couldn’t help myself…” you admitted sadly.
“This doesn’t define you.” He said, interwinding his fingers with yours. “One little mishap isn’t going to completely derail your progress. Recovery is so difficult, and you’ll always need someone. I’ll be here with you no matter what. Good days, and bad.”
You turned and nuzzled into his chest, his arms coming down to hold you close to him.
“My sweet love, you never have to hide from me again. Okay?” He pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead.
With a gentle nod, you relaxed.

Fighting with Kei was never a fun experience. It was always over something so small and inconvenient, and both of you always agreed it never mattered.
But when you had already hit a rough patch, and fought with him, everything seemed to hit worse.
One afternoon, you and him were at his house after school. You had opened up about something that was bothering you, and he turned it into a lecture.
He spat a comment that you couldn’t handle, so you ran off to the restroom and locked the door.
“(Y/N)! Wait!” He cried, “dammit!” he hissed to himself. He knocked hastily on the door, begging for you to come out.
Eventually his frantic knocking slowed, and he sat with his back to the door. “(Y/N), love, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean what I said. I was more upset at the person who wronged you and I just-“
“don’t worry about it. i’m okay.” You mumbled through the door.
“(Y/N) I know you better than you think I do; you are not okay. Please open the door.” He turned his body, pressing his forehead to the door and placing his palm on it.
“I-I can’t open it.” Your voice sounded as if it had a sudden meekness to it.
“(Y/N), sweetheart, stay where you are. I’m going to get you out okay?”
You sniffled, barely choking out an “okay.” as you lay on the cold floor.
In the deafening silence, the only things you heard were Tsukishima’s pounding footsteps around his house, and your labored breaths.
Eventually, the lock clicked, and you heard your boyfriend’s audible relief.
“I’m going to come in. Are you decent?” He asked.
You can only mumble out an “mhm” as you tug quickly at your sleeve to get it to fall. Your eyes squeeze shut at the sudden wave of pain that erupts on your arm.
The door opens to reveal your boyfriend examining a quarter in between his thumb and forefinger. He pondered in a tiny voice, “I’m not sure if being able to open my locks with a quarter is useful or dangerous…”
His eyes fell on you shortly after, making his heart shatter into pieces.
You were avoiding his gaze, leaning uncomfortably against the sink. You were trembling slightly, sniffling every few seconds.
“(Y/N) im sorry…” his voice was low as he carefully kneeled next to you, “I never should have done what I did. I was so upset that you were hurting, and now it seems I’ve only hurt you worse.”
You slowly turned to face him, wincing from the pain in your arms.
“Sweetheart are…” Tsukishima seemed to have just seen a ghost. His voice was quavering as he asked you the most important question of your lives, “D-did I do this?”
Your eyes widened in panic, your head whipping to the left.
Damnit. You chose not to put that sleeve down since it was hurting so bad. You just forgot to hide it when your lover came in the room.
“I’m- no! Y-you didn’t. I’m… I’m sorry.” you choked out as sobs overcame you, “I’m so sorry, Kei I- I didn’t- I don’t-“
He pulled your shaking figure close to him, wrapping you tightly in his arms, “I’m not mad, I’m not disappointed, I’m not going to yell.” His tone was soft as snow, words soothing you instantly, “Let’s get this patched up, okay?”
You nodded softly as you continued to cry into his shoulder. Tsukishima held you gently, resting his chin on your head and rubbing your back softly.
“I know this isn’t something that we fix overnight, but every second of every day, I’m right by your side.”

The concept of “right idea, wrong execution.” is one that’s all too familiar to you.
Your boyfriend, Satori Tendou, seems to be the physical manifestation of the idiom.
So, when you had asked your lover to be with you during a hard time, he immediately shifted into “the love of my life is sad, time to fix this” mode
Tendou instantly invited you over for emergency quality time.
While it was blissful on the beginning, halfway through your movie, he got the bright idea to start to play wrestle with you.
It wasn’t always your favorite thing, but you figured it may help you feel better.
The two of you were giggling profusely as you “fought” for victory and power.
At one point, he gripped your arm for better leverage, causing you to grimace and cry out.
Your boyfriend immediately recoiled, confused as to what had happened.
“S-sorry. Just a… just a bad bug bite.” You lied as your smoothed out your sleeve.
Now, your boyfriend may be easy to trick, but not in this instance. It was only when blood started seeping from your cuts that he truly began to wonder what was wrong.
“Oh, Starshine! You’re bleeding!” Tendou said, taking your arm in his hand after a worried gasp, “Let me-“
As your eyes suddenly widened, and you jerked your arm out of his grasp, his eyebrows furrowed in concern.
Your eyes squeezed shut as your breathing picked up. He’s going to be mad. He’s going to leave you. He’s going to be disgusted. He’s going to-
“I-… my love, are you alright?” The quietest voice asked.
You opened your eyes to look at him, expecting to see disgust in his eyes. Instead, you were met with a look of true fear.
A dull ring filled your ears as Tendou desperately tried to pull answer after answer out of you.
“(Y/N) please answer me!” You finally heard from your boyfriend, “Will you please let me help you with your cut?”
“N-no! You can’t!” You pressed down roughly on your sleeve, only making more blood seep through. Wincing, you slowly released your own arm.
Tendou sighed with a patient smile.
“I promise you that whatever I may find will not change things. I love you and I just want you to feel safe around me.” His previously mousy tone was firm, but still gentle.
With exorbitant amounts of hesitation, you offered your arm to him, and felt tears begin to well up and fall.
A small lift using his thumb and forefinger was all it took for him to know what was causing you so much distress. “(Y/N)…” he whispered, squeezing your hand to hopefully get you to look at him, “You’re not alone.”
Before you could ponder upon what he meant, he gently lifted one of his pant legs up. Across his thigh were many scars and a few puffy cuts.
“Never alone.” He said once more, pressing his forehead gently against yours and cupping your cheek, “Do you hear me?”
You blinked your tears away and nodded, pressing your lips together to muffle your sobs.
Tendou brought his other hand up to hold your face, kissing your forehead with a gentleness.
“This is a fight that we can win, Starshine. It’s you and me against a great big world.” He chimed, a few stray tears falling down his cheeks too, “I’ve got you, and you’ve got me. It all starts in this moment.”
After that comment, he plants another kiss on your forehead and rises to his feet. He retreats to the restroom and brings back some cotton rounds, some neosporin and a large wrap bandage.
“It ends here, we can do this.” He chimed, sitting criss-crossed on the floor. He holds out his hand for yours, gently taking it when it’s offered to him.
He turns your arm over and gets to work, wetting the cotton rounds to pick up any excess blood. Afterward, he hummed a sweet song as he applied ointment to the cuts on your arm.
“Here comes the hard part…” he forewarned as he began to ever-so-gently wrap the bandage around your arm. He was pleased to see that it didn’t cause you that much pain, “My brave little Paradise.”
After your arm was taken care of, Satori wrapped his arms around you, and laid down on the couch with you.
“Anytime you may feel anything, think of anything that’s bad, have scary intrusive thoughts, whatever it may be, come find me.”
“I may not be the best helper, but I know exactly how you’re feeling. I want to keep you safe so badly, but I can’t help if you don’t tell me. So never be afraid to let me know you’re hurting, okay?”

Galaxy Boy (Yamaguchi x Fem!Reader)
Tumblr media
Hurt/comfort oneshot
Word count: 6230
Summary: Yamaguchi overhears Y/n talking about how much she hates her *‘freckles’ so Yamaguchi wants her to give him a makeover- but gets a whole lot more than he bargained for
childhood friends to lovers, mutual pining, anxious yams, lots of fluff
Authors Note: I really went all out in this fic- a lot more than expected. I just relate to Yamaguchi a lot anxiety wise which took this fic from a cute little scenerio type thing to a whole 6000+ story and honestly? I’m not ashamed. I hope this can provide some comfort to others that suffer with anxiety as well 
Also even though it says reader has freckles- reader is not of specific race and their was no skin tone set in mind and does not have to have freckles 
Content warnings: VERY anxious Yams. and VERY brief mentions of self harm? (Yams mentions picking freckles off)
Likes, reblogs and comments are much apprecited! Tell me what you liked in the story! How it made you feel! Every comment and such is motivation for me to write more
“I look DISEASED!”
“Girl, you look fine.”
“Do you not see them! I’m hideous! 
“Y/n, it’s not even that bad! Stop being so dramatic.”
“I’m not being dramatic!” she claims as she slams her locker, causing a metallic ring through the deserted hallway, making both her and the boy peeking around the corner flinch. “Okay, Maybe I was being the slightest bit dramatic.” The girl admits, fidgeting with her fingers as she looks away sheepishly. God she’s so cute. Yamaguchi sighs. And so out of my league. The said object of the boy's affection turns her head around to almost catch his eye, but he dives behind the corner at lightning speed, holding his breath. “What are you looking at?” Her friend asks. “Nothing, I just thought I heard something.”
Yamaguchi can feel his heart almost beating out of his chest. What am I even doing here? He was just walking back from the bathroom and he heard his friend's voice and wanted to say hi, but didn’t wanna interrupt the conversation she was having. So naturally, he ends up hiding because talking to the other sex is scary, even if it’s just Y/N, someone he’s known for ages.
And someone who had a crush on them for almost as long.
Yamaguchi never meant to fall for her, it just kind of happened, like most cases of young love. Y/n is just so- How can Yamaguchi even explain it? She’s just so ethereal to him. Like a fairy, brightening up everyone's world, and pulling them out of their dark, dim shell.  She speaks her mind and stands her ground, something that is so foriegn to him, theat he tends to forget she struggles with her own troubles from time to time as well. Yamaguchi finds himself feeling lucky he got to see her become much more outgoing and comfortable in her skin over the years, but almost gets whiplash from seeing her stumble on her words and hide behind her hair with him, then biting back with playful- but harsh- jabs with Tsukishima. 
He remembers the day he met her almost like it was yesterday. Back then he had no idea that she’d change his life forever, he just liked her drawing of her pet dog. She’d always been an artist, and he remembers watching her trying out different mediums every week. She’d show up to school with her bag stuffed to the brim with different pencils, markers and even paints. She had to learn to carry all her supplies in a separate bag after one tube burst open all over the contents of her bag. After that she had bags on bags on bags filled with all the materials she planned to use throughout the day and they only got more complex over the years. Yamaguchi recalls the day she ran into their shared classroom and announced that your new canvas of choice would be skin, as she wanted to experiment with makeup. Soon after the bags of art supplies dwindled down to her makeup case and bag of moisturizer she used and tried to convince him and Tsuhishima to invest in, which had little avail. Much like the times where she’d ask him and Tsukishima to pose as models in her pieces, she would ask them to be the models or ‘test subjects'  for her makeup looks. Well not exactly. She never asks Yamaguchi to model. 
He has to pretend that doesn’t hurt each time. 
Yamaguchi shakes his head, banishing those thoughts away from his mind, once again. He doesn’t need that right now. “I’m serious though!” Her voice draws him back to reality, and back to the conversation. How does she look diseased? He asks himself. He thinks she’s the most gorgeous being alive, but he’s just a bit biased. 
 “Anyway, I stay in the sun too long ONCE and get all these freaking blemishes on my face. Once!” She complains, pointing to her face. Wait- is she pointing at- Her friend shakes her head. “It’s not even that bad! Can’t you use a cream or something to get rid of them?” Y/n shakes her head. “I tried everything! At this point i’m considering picking them off.” What?! Her friend sighs. “You really are dumber than I thought. How would you get to practice makeup with big old gashes on your skin? And you know they would probably just come back.” her friend reasons. Y/n flutters her lips as she adjusts her bag. “Yeah, I know. I'm just tired of looking at them And using so much makeup to cover them up all the damn time. I’m almost out of concealer. Again.” Y/n said something else as her and her friend walked back to their classroom, but they were too far out of earshot at that point and Yamaguchi couldn’t seem to care. His heart was plagued with her words. 
“Diseased.”
“Hideous.”
Yamaguchi felt sick. The only thing on her face that was even relatively new that she could be talking about was her freckles. Like the ones completely decorating his face. Y/N never had freckles growing up, but she did always complain about having sensitive skin and could’ve easily gotten them from the sun like she mentioned earlier. Her words keep running through his head with no end in sight. She’d rather harm herself than have freckles? Harm herself in stead of looking like me? He’s aware that she was probably being dramatic, but logic has no place in the mind of an anxious teen.  If she thinks that way about herself and her few freckles, what does she think of me? Yamaguchi takes a deep breath in and adjusts his clothing that was wrinkled against the lockers. He knows what he has to do. 
“What are you even talking about?” Tsukkisima asks, while adjusting his headphones. “Whatever, it’s nothing,” Yamaguchi sighs and fiddles with the pencil in his hand. “What’s the answer to number six?” Tsukishima grasps Yamaguchi’s twiddling pencil. “Stop that shit. What’s up?” Yamaguchi bites his lip and mutters something incomprehensible. “Huh? Speak up.” “Why doesn’t Y/n ask me to model for her!?” Yamaguchi shouts, bursting out of his seat and  slamming his hands down on the table garnering stares from everyone else in the library. Tsukishima’s eyes widen at his friend's outburst as Yamaguchi’s flushed face only gets redder. “Sorry.” he apologizes, settling back down in his chair.. “You really wanna be Y/ns test subject?” Tsukishima side eyes Yamaguchi. “Well I- uh- I mean.” he bites his lip. “I don’t necessarily not want to…y’know.” Yamaguchi tries to avoid Tsukishima's annoyed gaze. “It would be nice to be thought of?” Yamaguchi states trying to convince Tsukishima that any normal friend would want to be a makeup ‘test subject’, regardless of any romantic feelings involved.
“Dude.”
“Yes?”
“You’re freaking whipped. It’s pathetic.”
Damn, so much for that attempt. “I’m not…” Yamaguchi meets Tsukishima's gaze, already calling his bluff. “Okay maybe a little bit. But is that so bad?” Yamaguchi signs and clunks his head to the table. “ This shit has been going on for way too long. I’m starting to believe it’s a fucking kink or something since no one would actively draw this awkward pining shit out.” Yamaguchi rolls his eyes. It’s not like he would understand. He likes to bat off any and  all feelings with a 5 foot pole. “I didn’t consent to observe this over the past.. .” He numbers off his fingers. “How long has it been? Four years?” Yamaguchi mutters something into the table. “Were you talking to the table or?” Tsukishima questions. “I said,'' Yamaguchi picks his head up so his chin rests on his folded arms “five years.” A moment of silence passes. “Five fucking years? Do you not realize that means you spent a whole third of your life simping over this girl. A third! Can you imagine what you could’ve done with all that emotional turmoil instead?” “Do you not think I ask myself that question everyday?” Yamaguchi snaps, as Tsukishima's eyes widen. Yamaguchi exhales. Calm down, Tadashi. He’s just trying to help. Yamguchi rubs his eyes trying to cast away the exhaustion creepy in. Whether it be physical or emotional, he couldn’t tell.   “Look, i’m trying to work on it, ok?”
“Work on what?”
Yamaguchi swears he jumped at least a foot in his seat and his heart stopped beating, every ounce of fatigue is zapped out of him with Y/n’s subtle and friendly shoulder touch. Yamaguchi didn’t necessarily hate her touch, not in the slightest, even though her hand recoiled after his full body reaction to it, assuming he did. He loves the subtle touches she gives to her friends, even if they make him panic internally- whether he and Tsukishima were talking about her before then or not.
“I’m sorry!” She apologized. “ I didn’t mean to startle you!”
“It’s fine!” He breathed, clutching his chest and heaving. “I’m fine!” 
He was not fine but he quickly gathered his senses anyway to come up with a cover story because ‘Oh we were talking about my everlasting and undeniable love and attraction for you and how it’s crippling me inside! Nothing important! Just boy things.’ isn’t something Yamaguchi just felt fine confessing; that was the root of the problem after all. 
“Tsukki here,” Yamaguchi starts, pointing a friendly thumb to the visibly annoyed Tsukishima “won’t stop teasing me about my English homework, and I was telling him to buzz off about it.” he gives a little chuckle and wonders if he’s visibly sweating. Y/n furrows her eyebrows, finding it hard to believe that he told anyone to buzz off at all, and even more hard to believe that he said that to Tsukishima, the salt king himself. She recalled a time where he offered to tutor her in the same subject he’s now struggling in when she fell behind after a few sick days, but she doesn’t press the matter and moves on with an awkward ‘Okaaaay?'' She turns to Tsukishima. “So Tsukishima!”- “No, I'm not gonna be your test subject. You could never pay me enough.” Tsukishima interrupts. “Damn.” she sighs. “Worth a shot!”  Then Tsukishima does something so traitorous it may startle the very foundation of their extensive, and once unbreakable friendship.
“Ask Yamaguchi, he’d love to be your dress-up dolly for the night.”
Yamaguchi pales Tsukishima Kei what the hell are you doing?!?! He casts the traitor a wide eyed look and attemps to kick him in the shin, but misses and kicks the table leg.  Y/n takes note of poor Yamaguchi’s immense panic (and now, pain) and quickly retorts in what she believes to be his defense. “Tsuki, don’t sign him up for things like that, it’s mean!” 
Wait. 
Does she not think I'm good enough?
Is it because of my freckles?
Say something, you freak!
So in a moment of immense self-pressure, he states,  albeit a bit too loud (once again),
“I- I can do it!”
All three of their eyes widen in disbelief. Tsukishimas in astonishment and a bit of pride for Yamaguchi finally doing something, anything to advance his relationship and end the horrid pining, Yamaguchi in fear and surprise of his own actions and the repercussions of them and Y/n in something Yamaguchi can’t yet decipher.
“What?” Y/n asks. “Um- I- Uh..” Yamaguchi gathers himself, clears his throat and sits up straight, almost regretting when he meets Y/n’s eyes. “I can help you with your makeup-  as a m-model of course.” He specifies. Y/n’s eyes widen and he mouth hangs agape. “You really don’t have to!” she blurts. Yamaguchi’s heart sinks. Of course. Why would she me to model of all people. Theres as reason she hasn’t asked you, idiot. “Not because I wouldn’t want you to!” she corrects after seeing him deflate in his seat. “I- I just don’t want you to feel pressured into doing something you don’t want to! Thats- uh- that’s why I haven’t asked you before because you are always so nice and helpful! And I- I didn’t want you to feel pressured to do anything you didn’t want to for my sake!” she clarifies with her hand fiddling with the bottom of her uniform. “Then why do you ask me all the time?” Tsukishima chimes in. Y/n’s head and personality does a 180 as she whips her head to face him. “Beacause, you are an asshole and it’s fun to annoy you, duh.” She states like it’s obvious before she turns back to Yamaguchi. “I would love to have you as my model, if you would have me of course.” Yamaguchi gulps and nods his head, trying to ignore what other meanings ‘if you would have me’  could have out of context. Damn, Tsukki was right. I am whipped. “Yay!” she says with a little hand clap. “I’m so excited! Text me when you can come over! I’m free  most days!” Wait. Shit. Shit, shit shit! Yamaguchi, in all his newfound confidence (and pressure from his best friend) forgot that he most likely would be modeling at a house. Probably hers and most likely alone. What the hell did I get myself into?
Yamaguchi never thought a door would be so intimidating. Just knock! He tells himself. It’s not hard! He gulps. Welp. Here goes everything, I guess.  He slowly raises his shaking fist to the door, just for it to swing open and make Yamaguchi jump in the air like a scared cat from a cartoon. “Hey Yams! Come on in!” She ushers, not noticing, or caring about his skittish reaction as she grabs his hand and takes him to her room.
Before he has time to really panic that ‘y/n is holding my hand, oh my freaking god! What if it’s gross?  What if im sweaty? Whatifwhatifwhatif-’ He’s already in her room- which bring in a whole new set of worries. Holy shit I'm in a girls room. Holt shit. I’m in Y/N’s room. I”M IN Y/N’s ROOM. It’s not like he hasn’t been in her room before. As kids, the trio of Tsukishima, Y/n and Yamaguchi,  would fight over the correct names of dinosaurs and who got to be the pterodactyl when playing with Tsukishima’s toy dinos between these four walls. The four walls, which now were painted and decorated with anime posters and pictures of her favorite idols along with some of her most treasured art works you made over the years instead of the many, many, many scribbles from half baked drawings in crayon and marker that she hid from her parents with the pictures she drew in class. He remembers you bursting into class one day a few years ago, excited to tell them that even though her parents knew of the childish scribbles you made on the wall in bouts of ‘artistic genius’ they offered to help you redecorate and paint over it . 
It makes him realize how long it has been since you really spent time together.
Has it really been that long?
How far has he really drifted from you?
“Earth to Yamaguchi?” Yamaguchi snaps his head to Y/n’s voice. Shit. How long has she been talking? “There you are!” she giggles. “Oh, i’m sorry!” he apologizes as he rubs the back of his neck. “ I just got distracted by…yknow,” he gestures to the ‘new’ redecortaed room. “All of this. It’s kind of hard to recognize without the big lion drawing on that wall.” he points. “It was a superhero!” she corrects as he chuckles. “I can’t tell you which one it was supposed to be though.” she admits meekly. “Now come on!’ she encourages as she plops down on her rug. “Sit right here.” she points to the spot right in front of her. “O-Okay.” he gulps and obeys, trying not to relish in the fact that he’s barely a foot away from his crush, in a house that’s empty but the two of them. “So, I was wondering if you had any restrictions before we start?” Y/n aks as she begins to lay out her products. “Restrictions?” he asks. “Y’know, things you really don’t feel comfortable with. Like I won’t give you clown makeup or anything!” she promises. “But I do have a more extravagant out-of-this-world idea when it comes to you.” Out of this world? Yamguchi questions. “Oh! And I want it to be a surprise! Not because of anything bad I just really wanna see you reaction to your final look! I understand if you aren’t comfortable with that of course!” her voice starts to speed up, much like his when he feels like his is rambling on and on. “I am really grateful for you being here and letting me do this and i certainly don’t-” “Hey.” Yamaguchi places his hand on hers, out of pure instinct, but draws it back after both pairs of eyes drifted down to them. “I- I really don’t mind either way!  To be honest!” Yamaguchi reveals with a large, friendly grin as Y/n’s shoulders relax and a soft smile reaches her face. “Okay, got it!” She says cheerfully as she pulls out a few more products from her makeup bag. 
“And Yamaguchi?” She turns to face him.
“Hmm?”
Her eyes meet his as she softly speaks.
“Thank you for being here. It really means a lot to me.” She tucks her hair behind her ear. “I..really miss you, y’know?” 
Yamaguchi swears he’s never seen something as ethereal as she is right now, her figure doused by the sunset peeking through the window on her left, a sheepish, shy smile complimenting her relaxed and welcoming body. 
His lips move on their own as he  opens them to say “Y/n, i-”
“Oh this is just your shade!” she announces. “Don’t you think?” she asks as she puts a dollop of what Yamaguchi believes to be foundation on his wrist and rubs it in. “It fits perfectly!” She exclaims. oh. “Yeah, it does.” He agrees, with a pitch of sadness in his voice that he hopes isn’t recognizable. 
As Y/n starts working on his face Yamaguchi can’t help but to slip into those deprecating thoughts that follow him around like a shadow and take him by force into the darkness. Especially in times like this.
She doesn’t like you like that! It’s very obvious, even an idiot like you should be able to see that!
She doesn’t even want you here!  She’s just being polite!
She thinks you are HIDEOUS, remember? DISEASED!
Yamaguchi does what he can to combat the demons in his head and the subtle stinging in his eyes. 
“And just a few drops of concealer!” she states as she blends the creamy liquid under his eyes. “But-” Yamaguchi starts. Y/n lets out a slight “hmm?” as she looks through her makeup for a specific item. “I-I don’t think that would be enough.” He stammers as her eyes meet his figure once again. “To y’know,” he gulps. “cover all of this” he motions to his cheeks. “What do you mean?” she asks. He bites his lip as a woeful look crept over her face. “Yamaguchi..” she utters in a sorrowful tone, like she’s comforting a child. He can’t stand to look at her when she uses this voice, he already feels on the verge of tears
. “Is that why you wanted me to do your makeup? To cover your freckles?” He nods into his shoulders. “I-” she sighs. “I’m sorry, Yams. I can’t do that. It’s not right.” Yamaguchi quickly meets her eyes. “W-what? Why?” she shakes her head. “Your freckles are a part of you Yamaguchi. You’ve had them all your life and they are what makes you you. I’m not gonna hide them. I thought you told me you stopped worrying about your freckles in middle school.”
I did, for the most part. But it’s different when the love of your life basically calls you ugly.
He opens his mouth to say something, but bites his lip in shame.
 She starts to put her makeup into her bag. “You can ask someone else, but I can’t do that. I just can’t.” Yamaguchi is being pulled every which way by his emotions .Confusion, anger, hurt, guilt. So much so he blurts out half baked words;
“Do you think I'm hideous and disgusting?”
Y/n whips her head around from the makeup she was placing away.  “What?! No! Of course not! Where did you get that id-” 
“I heard you!”
 “I-in the hallway near the lockers. I wasn’t- I really wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, I just wanted to say hi!” he looks away, at the floor, at the ceiling- at the abundance of plushies on her bed, anywhere but the disappointed face he expects to see “But you were talking to your friend about your freckles and how you try so hard to cover them and get rid of them and how they are disgusting, and shitty!” He’s facing her now  but he can only focus on how much it  hurts.The words piling and piling out, red hot from years and years of painful silence- stabbing him, branding him with the fear and self hatred he already harbored since he was young. “And you- you only have a handful of them while- while i have a freaking constellation on my face! And I-” he wipes his face, now aware of the outgoing tears.  “I can’t get rid of them! No matter how many times I try to hide them, no matter how many times I try to pick them off they- they always return! And I can’t change that! No matter how many times I try! And I do try, so so fucking hard So if you- the most beautiful person thinks that they are ugly in any way shape or form, then what does that make me?!” The tears are blurring his vision now, blinding him from the horrified look on Y/n’s face, eyes wide with her own tears starting to simmer- but Yamaguchi can’t find himself to care. “I- just want to be-” he chokes as he gasps for air. “I just want to be enough for you!” he wails. “That’s all I ever wanted to be! And- and you are just so perfect in every way! How can i?” he sniffles and hiccups, calming down where he can only see her tear stricken face.
“How can I ever be enough for you?”
And suddenly, it was never about his freckles.
No, it was about a boy, a boy locked away in the tower of his own head, beaten black and blue by his demons wanting love- wanting to just be enough for someone. For anyone.
For her
For himself. 
And he just opened the floodgates
What have I done? 
Yamaguchi barely recognizes her touch embracing him at first, as reality settles in fast and hard, grounding him and shattering him. Shattering all the resolve he’s built up for years and years leaving him defenseless in her arms. What have I done? Oh my god.
What have I done?
“I’m so- so sorry!” She cries into his arms, but he sits still paralyzed by fear, regret and everything he doesn’t know. About her. About him. About the two of them. What have I done? “Tadashi!” she calls “Tadashi, please.” He shakes his head, trying to self medicate and take himself out of his trance. “I’m so sorry.” he whispers into the air, avoiding her eyes. She shakes her head. “Tadashi please.” she sobs. “Look at me.” she begs as he lifts his head a little bit. She holds his chin lightly and looks into his eyes. “Tadashi please, listen to me.” His eyes finally meet hers and she can see him coming through. “Tadashi, you have always been enough. Always have been and always will be.” she sniffles. “God, I'm so fucking in love with you.”
What?
“I- I know, I know it’s crazy but I loved you since the day we met, Tadashi. I remember feeling so alone- and i was so freaking awkward- sitting under that tree, drawing. I was watching all the other kids play and I felt so alone, but then like a ray of sunshine, you walked over and told me you liked the picture I was drawing of my dog. I just was so enamored of the little boy with big eyes and the cutest freckles. I might not have known it then, but I've known for a little while that I'm head over heels for you. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.” she reveals as she wipes her eyes on her shirt. Her eyes locked on his, he could barely register anything she said past “I’m so fucking in love with you.” 
“I’m so fucking in love with you.” 
“I’m so fucking in love with you.” 
“With me?”
She giggles as she lightly punches his arm. “Yes, you! Who else?” she confirms as he gulps. He didn’t mean to say that out loud. “But why? I’m not-” She makes a buzzer noise and shakes her head. “Yamaguchi, you are the nicest, most hardworking, most outgoing, amazing person I know. I’m lucky to have you in my life.” Yamaguchi feels his face heating up by the second. “You were the one always encouaging me to do my best with my art and supporting me even when I never though I could do it. You are the first one I want to come to when I have good or bad news and the first one I share my art pieces with. It’s you Yamaguchi.”Once again Yamaguchi feels the prickiling of tears in his eyes, but for a different reason this time.  she chuckles and leans into an awkward laugh. “Wow, it feels so strange finally saying that out loud after all those years. I thought it was obvious after all the times I was caught staring at you in class, and all the times I suddenly became super clumsy around you. Hell, I was terrified of even being alone with you like this that’s why I never asked you to- Eh? No, please don’t cry!” she begs as Yamaguchi lets out a soft laugh. “I’m just so happy. I loved you for so long, Y/n.” he reveals as he wipes his eyes. Y/n gulps. “Shit.” she utters. “What?” he says alarmed. “This means Tsukishima’s right. We are two pining idiots.” she reveals as Yamaguchi throws back a laugh. “He gave you the talk too?” She groans. “Only like every other day! I’m surprised he never spilled to either of us. No wonder why he was always so annoyed.” she giggled. Y/n clears her throat, sits straight and pushes up her imaginary glasses. “I’ve watched you simp for way too long, any longer i’m going to demand compensation. 500 yen every time I see you staring at him, 1000 for every dreamy sigh and fluttering of the eyelashes and 1500 for every time you complain about ‘how it’s illegal to be that cute.” she mimic in her best Tsukishima voice. Yamaguchi cackles “No, no no,” he corrects between breaths of laughter. “It’s like..” he clears his throat as he preforms a slightly better Tsukishima impersonation. “All this endless pining has to be a kink or some shit- and I didn’t fucking consent.” Y/n clutches her sides in laughter as Yamaguchi makes sure he processes every second of this moment, one he’s deemed to replay time and time again. Just the two of them acting like fools again, just like they did before- but now without the fear of rejection and being vulnerable. Yamaguchi could never dream of something more beautiful. 
She waves her hand in his face as he snaps back to reality. “Huh?” he questions as she laughs. “Yamaguchi, I swear you have the attention span of a goldfish.” she teases as she nudges him. “Yamaguchi.” he repeats slowly as she cocks her head. “Yes? That’s your name?” she states as he shakes his head. “That’s not what you called me earlier.” Her face tints red as a goofy grin takes over her face. “Okay, Tah-da-shi!” she gives his nose a little boop per syllable as the same red tint and goofy grin transfers to him. “What I was trying to ask before you went all space cadet on me was if Tsukishima actually said that.” she asks. “Hmm,” he hums as he taps his pointer finger on his chin. “Depends if the part about you staring at me and sighing dreamily was true.” he questions with a raised eyebrow and a smirk, suddenly confident. Her jaw drops as she stammers.
 “Who- who allowed you to smirk like that?”
“Who allowed you to be all cute and flustered?”
“Stoppp!” she whines as she hides her face as he chuckles. “You know what!” she announces. “I did stare at you in class.” she admits as she pokes his chest. “You and all your cute freckles. I always tried counting them but always lost count or felt like a creep for staring. But-” she inches closer to his face. “I couldn’t help it, I've always been a sucker for pretty boys like you.” he gulps. “Y-you think i’m pretty?” he whispers as she hums in agreement. “Well you- you can count them now if- if you’d like.” he offers, hoping to all gods his voice didn’t crack like he thought it just did. “I’d love to.” she mumps and closes the distance and places a kiss on his cheek, and on one of his freckles.
“One.”
Another freckle
“Two.”
Another freckle
“Three.”
Another freckle
“Four-”
Yamaguchi couldn’t take it anymore and leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Time felt like it slowed for him as he savored every moment of her sweet, soft lips on his. It was short and sweet, but left them breathless all the same and left them smiling into each other as they caught their breath.
“Hey Tadashi?”
“Yeah?”
“What did you mean earlier? About the hallway?”
Shit. He forgot about that.
“Uh…” he bites his lip. “It doesn’t really matter, how about we just keep kissing, yeah?” he diverts as she stops him, placing her hand on his chest with a giggle. “Ah-ah-ah. None of that.” he pouts. “So.. what you are saying is you don’t wanna kiss me?” he retorts, biting his lip, holding in a giggle of his own. “I definitely did not say that, Yamaguchi.”
“Tadashi.” he corrects
“Tadashi.” she repeats, playfully rolling her eyes. “I’m serious. I wanna clear it all up right now so there's no more misunderstandings with us, okay?” 
Yamaguchi sighs. “Fineeee. But please don’t make a big deal or laugh at me or anything, okay?” She frowns. “Why would I ever laugh at you?” He shrugs and takes a deep breath in.”I might have heard you in the hallway a few days ago talking about how much you hate your freckles and how you think they are shitty, and gross. You said you just use makeup to cover them so I thought you could do that for me? And when you said you wouldn’t it made me feel-” he stops as he sees her covering her mouth in what he only assumes could be an attempt to hold back her laughter. “You said you wouldn’t laugh!” he whines. “I'm not-” she starts, and attempts to act composed, but with little avail as laughter seeps through the cracks and she begins to howl in laughter as Yamaguchi crosses his arms. “I’m sorry- I really am!” she says between gasps of laughter. “But- but you think- you think these are freckles?” she questions, pointing to what Yamaguchi believes is a freckle on her face. He nods dumbly. “Yeah…what else would they be?” “Acne!” she exclaims. “Blackheads, to be exact! Dirt, grease, grime and sweat that crept into my pores and clogged them!”
“What.”
Y/n throws her head back in laughter. “So you were so worried over nothing! This,” she takes a deep breath in to regain composure. “This is why we don’t eavesdrop.” “I wasn’t trying to! I- I just wanted to say hi! I-It’s really not my fault you talk so loud!’ He pouts as he crosses his arms and looks away. “Tadashi, you are so cute. Worrying over what lil ole’ me thinks.” she pinches his cheeks. “I’m not-” he nudges her grabby hand off of him with his shoulder and sits up straight, trying to maintain the smidge of dignity he has left. “I’m not cute, first of all. Second, your ‘lil ole opinions’ mean a lot to me, if you didn’t get that earlier.” he reveals, blushing. “I wasn’t lying when I said that my freckles stopped bothering me in middle school. It's not easy to just forget and get over something I struggled with all my life.” he references to earlier. Hearing you say- or at least thinking I heard you say how much you hate them really hurt me, as much as I hate to admit. I know it’s pathetic-”
 “It’s not.” she interrupts. 
“It’s really not. We all have our insecurities, we all have our demons, we all have our limits. One thing that those things all have in common is the tendency people have to ignore them or pretend they don't exist.” She explains. “It’s so much easier to do then accept them, because when you finally do,” she looks into  his eyes. “You learn to overcome them. It may take ages, and you may never fully get over them. But it’s a sure lot more than what most people are able to do. And you,” she pokes his chest. “Are so much stronger than you believe. Admitting your insecurities, looking them in the eye and accepting that although they may bother you some now, they don’t have half as much of a hold on you than before. It’s amazing, Tadashi. You are amazing.” 
In that moment he knew that he may never feel enough for anyone or anything 24/7 and may feel the ups and downs that life will inevitably bring- but he has her and she’ll be around to remind him that he is, and that is all he needs. 
“Now that that’s settled, time to finish your look!” she cheers as she claps her hands.
“Wait, what?” he questions. “I thought you didn’t wanna do my makeup anymore after I told you I wanted my freckles covered?” she shakes her head. “Nope.” she says, popping the ‘p’ at the  end. “I think it’s more important to do it now than ever!” she exclaims with a smile engulfing her face. How was Yamaguchi supposed to say no to that?
“O-okay!”

Tsukishima couldn’t sleep. If you’d ask him why, he’d probably say it’s because a headache (even though the he’s bouncing a volleyball against his wall causing loud thumps guaranteed to make any headache immensely worse.) and under no circumstance him worrying for his best friend who, earlier acted like he had a date with death, instead of a date with his crush. 
‘it’s not a date! Just two people hanging out and doing makeup! Just friendly activities!” Yaaguchi whined as he closed his locker. Tsukishima rolled his eyes and sighed. “I don’t give a fuck. But if you two don’tt walk into class together holding hands i’m having Shrimpy serve a spike on your fat, dumb head.” he promises and walks away as he hears Yamaguchi complain about not having a fat head and Hinata (who came out of nowhere- as per usual)  get all mad about being called Shrimpy even though he was never directly mentioned. 
Hmm. Maybe Tsukishima does have a headache. A Yamaguchi sized one. 
THWACK
The volleyball he was tossing bounced back past his hands- and onto his face. God damn it. He tosses the ball off of his bed and grabs his phone, in need of a mindless distraction that won’t bruise his face and break his glasses. 
Oh? A mention from Yamaguchi? Isn’t he supposed to be with Y/n right now?
He clicks on it and it's the absolute last thing he’d ever expect to see. 
A picture of Yamaguchi, shyly looing into the camera with the most bashful smile he’s ever seen on the boy, and a mirage of of  pinks, blues and purples decorating his face, with spreckels of silver littering his face with lines connecting them, almost mirroring his freckles-no;
They were stars.
A galaxy
A Constellation. 
But the most surprising feat in the photo was Y/n with he arms around his neck, looking into his eyes with nothing but clear admiration and content, with sloppy dots- freckles- across her face that she most likely had Yamaguchi do for her with makeup, ones that almost matched his everyday look. Below the picture was a caption reading;
My Galaxy Boy
With sparkles following and preceding the words. He scoffs and shakes his head playfully. That's so y/n. The he scrolls down to see where Yamaguchi tagged him;
@Tskeishima Is my fat head safe?
He smirks as he types;
@sweetyamagashi For now.
Took yall long enough.

a problem shared is a problem halved yamaguchi tadashi/reader (haikyuu!) word count: 1.2k tags: fluff, coworkers to lovers, yamaguchi being a blushy blushy boy, sharing food is a love language and i stand by that
Tumblr media
Most people are deficient in vitamin D.
You've heard it many times in your life, though you can't quite put your finger on the precise place the information first came to you from. You know your doctor brings up supplements when you go for checkups in the cold, dark winter months, and you take them until the days grow longer, the temperature begins to climb, and you can spend more time in the sunlight again.
Scientifically, when the UVB rays from the sun reach the cholesterol cells in your skin, they synthesize vitamin D. Of course there are downsides to too much sun, but so long as you're mindful of just how much time you spend outside, and remember to wear your SPF there's really no-
"What are you doing?"
You peel your eyes open to peer up at the shadowy silhouette standing above you, the shape blocking out the very rays of the sun you'd been ruminating on only seconds prior.
Tadashi, your coworker, blinks down at you curiously--his freckled face slowly coming into focus--his tie dangling into your face as he leans over towards where you're sprawled on the ground.
"I'm having lunch by the lake," you say, smiling a little, gesturing vaguely to the large murky puddle that pools in the centre of the parking lot of your office complex. The rainwater has the tendency to accumulate there after any amount of precipitation: the uneven pavement drawing all of the rainwater into a shallow pond that ripples in the noontime breeze.
It was raining yesterday, hence the lake.
"I looked for you in the lunchroom, but Saikawa-san said she'd seen you heading outside," Yamaguchi says, mentioning another coworker as he stretches back up to his full height. You remain on the single patch of grass in the entire concrete expanse of your company's commercial headquarters. He quirks a brow. "Where's your lunch?"
"I'm having vitamin D for lunch," you reply with a little sigh, letting your eyes flutter closed again.
"Don't tell me you're on a diet." The shuffling you hear and the way Tadashi's voice pitches closer tells you he's taking a seat beside you on the sad, narrow little lawn you lay upon.
"Not on a diet," you reply, laughing a little. You crack one eye to peer over at him, crosslegged beside you with the bento he'd been carrying in his hands resting in the grass in front of his gangly legs. "I just forgot my lunch."
He looks at you with wide eyes.
"Why didn't you say anything?" he sounds almost offended as he asks it--as though wounded by the idea that you didn't immediately run and tell him you'd left your own bento on the table just beside your genkan in your race to catch the train that morning.
"It's not a big deal; I ate breakfast, and I'll stop and get a snack before I take the train home." You wave off his concern, settling back a little further into the lumpy grass, enjoying the way the afternoon sunshine warms your skin. You'd peeled off your cardigan when you got outside, and it's presently balled up like a little pillow beneath the crown of your head, leaving the skin of your arms and your décolletage available to absorb the heat and those precious UVB rays.
"Here," you feel a weight land on your sternum, and tilt your head down to see Tadashi's bento perched atop your tummy. "Eat that."
"No." you sit up, careful to move the lunchbox as to not send it toppling into your lap. "I'm not eating your lunch, Yamaguchi-san."
"Well you can't eat nothing," he says, flabbergasted by the thought.
"But you can?" you counter, taking the bento and plunking it down in front of him again.
His cheeks puff out a little in disgruntlement, as though mulling over your (inarguably valid) thought.
"What if we share it?"
You pause at his suggestion.
"You want to share your lunch with me?" you ask him, processing his offered solution slowly.
He nods, firm in his decision. "Both of us having half a lunch is better than one of us having none."
You blink.
"Alright," you say with a laugh and an incredulous shake of your head, moving to stand.
"Where are you going?" Yamaguchi asks you (his tone borderline panicked) as you move to step away.
"Well, if you're supplying lunch the least I can do is get us some drinks." You tip your head towards the vending machines along the side of the office building behind you.
Tadashi relaxes slightly, nodding, his cheeks flaring red in the midday sunshine--his freckles getting lost in the sweet sweep of rose as it crawls across his face.
You return a few moments later with two bottles of cold drinks, letting your lunch date make his choice first from the selection you've provided. He chooses the juice, which surprises you, leaving the bottle of tea to you.
"I thought you loved this tea," you say, cracking the top off and taking a sip.
Yamaguchi busies himself unpacking the bento compartments, not meeting your eye.
"I know you like it too, so I wanted you to have it."
You groan.
"Yamaguchi-san, I'm trying to do something nice for you!"
He looks up with a sheepish smile, rubbing at the back of his neck.
You huff.
"Fine, we can share this too," you say after a moment, pushing the cool bottle into his hands. He nearly fumbles it in surprise, a few drops of tea sloshing into the grass beside his knee, narrowly missing the dark material of his slacks.
He stares at the drink in his hand for a moment, then to you, then back to the tea.
"What?" you ask, confused by his hesitation.
"Well, uh..." he starts, and then abandons the thought halfway through. "Never mind."
You snort, reaching for a piece of lettuce sticking up in corner of the bento box.
"Were you worried about it being an indirect kiss or something?"
Tadashi nearly chokes on the mouthful of tea he'd been in the process of swallowing.
You gape at him, lettuce hanging limply from the two fingers you have it pinched between. "You were!"
He shakes his head, fighting for breath, but the blush intensifying on his face is all too telling.
"Sorry, sorry," he says, bowing his head a little, though you suspect it's just to hide the incriminating hue of his cheeks. "You just... can't say things like that to me so suddenly."
"Why?" you ask, popping the piece of lettuce into your mouth and chewing it slowly.
He peeks up at you.
"Because it might get my hopes up."
You pause mid-chew.
You can't help but notice the way Tadashi's brown eyes burn impossibly warmer in the sunshine.
You laugh, dropping your head a little, swallowing the food in your mouth.
"If we don't eat soon our lunch break will be over," you say quietly, nudging the meal a little bit closer to him. You see him deflate from the corner of your eye, reaching dejectedly for a piece of tempura.
"And Tadashi?"
His eyes snap to you.
"When I kiss you, you won't have to worry about it being indirect."
The grin that stretches across his face tells you that you won't ever have to worry about getting enough vitamin D again, because it's so bright it puts even the strongest rays of the sun to shame.

Ushijima
You were having the worst week this week,  from battling a cold and your boss making you do all sorts of extra jobs (that were definitely not under your job description.) As easter was swiftly approaching you and Ushijima had your annual plans of going to the local kids community center and helping them with an easter egg hunt. But you don’t think you can manage it this year.
Ushijima gets home from practice with 4 bags just filled with easter eggs ranging from all different sizes, “woah there Toshi, you’ve got enough there too feed all of england” you laugh  
“I don’t think these eggs will be able to sustain England Y/N” he says seriously making you laugh even harder. As you were laughing, you felt another migraine come along making your cringe in pain. “Toshi, I don’t think I can do the easter egg hunt this year?”  
He sits down next to you alarmed that something is wrong, “why what happened Y/N” he asks
“I’ve been feeling terrible all week, and I even have a migraine right now” you say to him thinking he would understand.
“That’s it?” he questions thinking what you said was a joke “I think you can handle a migraine, remember we’re doing this for the kids”
His words were making you feel slightly guilty since maybe you were being over dramatic. “Y/N if it’s really ‘that bad’, i’ll make you some tea so you can feel better,” he says going into the kitchen to start on your tea. You murmur a quiet “thank you” and you end up falling asleep, hoping that by the time you wake up your head stops pounding.
As you wake up, you realise you slept all the way through the night and over to the next day as when you look at your clock it says 12:32 pm. You look at your nightstand and saw that Ushijima wrote you a note saying:  
Y/N I've left out early to set out the easter egg hunt, I’ve made you breakfast so eat up and get prepared for the event which starts at 4pm. Please don’t forget.
Sincerely – Ushijima Wakatoshi.
You chuckle at the fondness of the note, before realising your pain. Your brain felt like it was having a live concert inside that definitely was not going to end soon but you still got up prepared for the day. You didn’t want to let Ushijima or the kids down.  
When you go to the kitchen , you see the cute breakfast that Ushijima made you consisting of all of your favourite foods and with another simple note of him saying ‘ I love you. ‘ Ushijima has always been a lovely boyfriend, treating you like the queen you are always making sure that you were okay. Of course, his bluntness and his lack of social cues was something to get used to but when you did get accustomed to it, it only made you fall in love with him more.
You got ready, feeling even more sick as the piping hot shower that you usual have, did not help as when you were showering you felt heavily faint. However, you persevered since you did not want to let Ushijima down.
You finally were prepared to leave the house, with the community center being on 15 minutes walk away you were leaving out at 3:50pm since you were planning to take your car anyways. When you leave your home, you realise that you forgot your car keys so you dash up the stairs (a bit too quickly) to go and find them. Scrambling through your draws, your head is pounding harder and harder and the more it pounds the quicker your moving making you even more faint. You eventually find your keys and you’re ready to zoom to the community center but your body gave out and you pass out tumbling down the stairs landing at your front door.
Ushijima was waiting outside of the community center waiting for you to arrive it was 4:05pm and he was wondering where you were (knowing that your place was only a 10 minute drive away) he sent you a few texts asking where you were but when you don’t respond Ushijima becomes slightly annoyed, plastering a fake smile on his face and entering the community center, starting the easter egg hunt.
The easter egg hunt came to a close at 8pm and Ushijima assumed that you would’ve showed up some time in the middle of the event, but you obviously didn’t show. After making sure that all the kids left safely Ushijima decided to call and text you more and when you continuously don’t respond and your calls go to voicemail he says ‘Y/N, im really disappointed with you right now. How could you do this to me? You said you would show up, the kids were really upset, how could you be so selfish?’
He walks to your house knocking on the door, but when you don’t immediately answer he knew something must be up now, since you haven’t responded to any of his texts and calls and didn’t show up he figured there was something deeper then you just ditching the event.
He used his key to open the door, surprised when the door hit something. He tried again hitting the ‘object’ that was laying at the door again. He carefully pushes the door to make enough room for him to fit through the gap. When he entered, he was startled at the sight of you, there you lay completely knocked out with a blood stain next to your head. He knelt down next to you and touched your cheek you were extremely cold, he had to get you to a hospital stat. He called an ambulance, panicked. Worrying about how long you’ve been out for since it would have to be atleast more than 4 hours he assumed.
You woke up in a foreign room, with your head slightly stinging. You place your hand on the back of your head and wince, then you remember you need to be at the easter egg hunt so you bolt up ready to move.  
“I don’t think that’s wise for you to do that Y/N” Ushijima says to you  
“Toshi, what happened?” you ask still in pain
“It seems you fell down the stairs and hit your head” after he said that all your memories come flooding back, and you remember rushing to the community centre, looking for your keys, and then falling down the stairs and everything going black.
“I’m sorry Ushi for missing the easter egg hunt, I really tried to get there,” you say with an apologetic look on your face  
“It’s fine Y/N of course you wouldn’t of been able to get there after falling down the stairs” he says “Also, this is proof of why you shouldn’t run down the stairs”
You eventually get discharged with the doctor telling you all you need to do is rest and stay off your feet. Ushijima took the doctor's orders very seriously, becoming your loyal servant and waiting on you hand and foot, tending to your every need. He did also make you were eating healthy and taking all your medicine so you could have the best recovery possible.  
Also, after realising that this could’ve all been avoided if Ushijima didn’t guilt trip you in the first place for having a migraine, he made sure to never ignore or dismiss when you say you are ill or have anything wrong with you even if it’s a migraine, a lost limb or a simple paper cut.
Tumblr media
Bokuto  
The Olympics were coming up and Bokuto couldn’t be any more excited than he already was. Everything he’s talked about for the past month he manages to find a way to relate to the Olympics, and as annoying as it got sometimes you were just as excited for it as much as Bokuto was.  
Bokuto was heavily busy with extra practices so you were bored and lonely, since your boyfriend was at practice all the time so you chose to take up a new hobby. You decided to paint, although you weren’t an award-winning painter you still found joy in it. Being Bokuto’s girlfriend you had some slight unwanted attention on you: the usual fans of Bokuto that just followed you to have an extra aspect of him in their life's, or his fangirls that adored him.  
You didn’t mind the fangirls for the most part since majority of them were pretty tamed and did fawn over your relationship. However, there was the minority of fans that did make it known to you that they DID NOT like you at all. When you started posting your paintings, it seems their hate for you amplified since they always found the need to leave an astray of mean comments on your post. But that didn’t mainly bother you since you thought that they only had that energy behind the screen.
The days went by getting closer to the Olympics, with Bokuto always asking you every day “Y/N you are coming to my games, right?” to which you always replied “Of course Kou, I’m coming” which always made him smile.
When the Olympics came, you’ve went to all the games cheering Bokuto and the team on as they were winning round after round. Whilst this was going on, the group of girls that were sending you horrible messages and making mean posts about you weren’t stopping. At first, you didn’t care for them but it seems their posts only gotten worse making comments about your artwork, your face, your body type ect.  
You didn’t want to tell Bokuto as you felt that it would ruin his Olympic momentum and you thought you could handle it all on your own.  
It was nearing to the final game of the Olympics, and Bokuto was ecstatic he made sure that you promised you’d be there claiming that you was his ‘good luck’ charm.’ You were excited to go too, the feeling of watching Bokuto play was exhilarating seeing him fully in his element was great for you to see.
On the last game day, Boktuo was already at the stadium since him and the team had to be there earlier to practice and you planned to meet him there just before the game started at 4:30. You went to a florist before the match getting Bokuto the biggest boquet that you could buy.  
On your way to the stadium you here somebody whistle from behind you, you turn around and see a group of girls waiting behind you smirking. “Hi?” you say more like a question then a statement “do you want something from me?”
Some of them laugh, but the one standing at the front who you mentally lable the ‘main one’ steps closer to you and says “We want you to stay away from Bokuto” you realise that these were the girls sending you hate online for these past weeks.
Before you can even blink, the girls jump you, hitting, kicking and clawing at you. You are in pain, screaming and crying for them to stop and leave you alone. You lay there, letting them beat you up thinking that you’ll probably end up dead out of this. All you can think about is Bokuto, you didn’t get to wish him good luck, or give him your flowers (that you spent a fortune on) or even tell him that you loved him one last time.
You think the girls eventually stopped but you couldn’t tell because your body was throbbing and you hurt all over. You tried to get up still wanting to go to the match but you collapse going out cold.
Bokuto was scanning the crowd over and over for you, hoping to spot you there. But he couldn’t, he was wondering where you were getting sadder and sadder by the second since he really believed you were his good luck charm and he probably wouldn’t be able to win without at least seeing your face once.
They didn’t win. Bokuto knew he wasn’t playing at his best, since all his mind was on was thinking about where you were. You’ve never missed one of his games, so he was incredibly worried. After he accepted his second-place medal, he rushed out the stadium to go to your house but he was stopped by some fangirls ‘I guess signing autographs is the least I can do’ he thinks, the fans were being a bit odd today but he didn’t have time to focus on that as his mind was racing thinking about you and your whereabouts.  
One of his fans did give him an alarmingly big boquet of roses which he appreciated ‘these must of cost a fortune’ he thinks. Although it was a probably a long shot, he decided to ask the fan if he saw someone who looked like *whatever you look like* to maybe see if someone else saw you. Which the fan replied “yeah I saw them with some guy at this restaurant whilst we were going to see you!” they exclaimed.
‘A guy’ he thought ‘that most likely wasn’t you.’ Seeing Bokuto’s confusion, the fan followed up with “I'm pretty sure it was her I mean we all know who Bokuto Koutaro’s girlfriend was.” Bokuto didn’t reply just walking away making sure to thank them for the flowers.  
He was rushing towards your house on foot (since all the taxi’s and ubers were fully booked because of the Olympics) whilst running he stumbles across your passed out body all black and bruised with scratch marks and bleeding all over you. “what happened” he whispered, knowing you obviously weren’t going to respond.  
He picked up your near-dead body, and cradled you in his arms taking you back to the stadium (since he knew that getting an ambulance to come here or running to the hospital would basically be impossible.) When he got back to the stadium, he did get odd looks from strangers but he didn’t care, his only agenda was making sure you were okay.
You woke up, and saw Bokuto pacing the room repeatedly you tried to get his attention by saying his name but your throat was damaged. He eventually notices you and runs to your side, stroking your face softly and giving you a gentle hug making sure not to hurt you.  
“Who did this Y/N?” he asks with worry in his eyes  
You ignore his question and look at the silver medal wrapped around his neck making you sad “I’m sorry I didn’t make it to the match, I tried I really did try” you said with your voice sounding even worse after you said every word.  
“Don’t be silly, I’m just glad that you’re okay babe, I was really worried about you.” he said
The Medic came in and said that you had multiple broken ribs, but beside that you were fine you just needed to rest your throat and let your bruises heal. You eventually told Bokuto that it was some of his fans, he was upset that you hid this from him for so long but he was just glad that he got to you as soon as he did. He managed to play at the next Olympics and you were there fully present, with your even bigger boquet of flowers watching win gold.
Authors Note: I tried to make it as close to your request as possible, but I hope you enjoy as I really do think this is my favourite work so far.... :3 Comments and feedback appreciated.

notes they’d give you
Tumblr media
with: multiple characters x gn!reader as always
genre: fluff + crack
type: imagines??? 
a/n: i go on hiatus for a couple days and forget everything bare w me. writing’s still the same (i think)
masterlist
Tumblr media
Doodles. Expect a crumpled piece of paper aimed straight to the back of your head that could contain anything from small hearts with both your initials in them to a whole comic strip. This boy makes sure his pencil case (if he ever makes one; it’s usually pens and pencils just dumped into his bag) has coloured pens, since ‘it brings out the best of his art’. Needless to say the drawings look miserable and nothing like they’re supposed to but it’s the effort that counts. His face lights up when he finds out you store all (well the almost decent looking ones) the doodles he makes in your journal. He’s most likely going to get caught throwing the paper but oh well that’s a story for another day.
Bokuto, Tendou, Matsukawa, Nishinoya, Tanaka, Hinata
Pick-up lines. He thinks he’s so cheeky and sly when he’s doing this. If he gets a single giggle or smile when you read the most pathetic pick-up lines he could ever find, it’s over for you. Thereafter, expect one of those either already placed on your desk when you get to school or just placed in between the pages of one of your notebooks. Now what he didn’t expect was getting pick-up lines in return, not the stupid kind, rather the ones that are aimed straight at his heart. Ladies and gentlemen, and my non-binaries, I now present to you a blushing mess. (Just imagine a blushing picture of him thank you). When I say he cannot even bear to hold your hand because of how flustered he is, I mean it.
Kuroo, Tsuki, Oikawa, Lev, Semi, Suna, Atsumu
Letters. Just a few words or lines aren’t enough for him to express what he feels, no no. Only a letter seems adequate at most. Now he knows he’s not always the best at expressing his feelings or talking about what’s on his mind, so he writes. That’s what he does best so why not put it to use. He’d probably give it to you once he’s walked you home and will request you to read it before you sleep. Loves talking to you about it later. Sometimes they’re just poems that he thinks can express only a fraction of what he feels for you. I swear they’re the most beautiful things someone could ever write. 
Kita, Akaashi, Osamu, Ushijima, Asahi, Sugawara
Sticky notes. You’ll find them stuck on your lunchbox, in the inside of your locker or maybe just over your table right before that one test you’ve been worrying about for weeks. They’ll have the cutest little messages- ‘I love you <3’ (yes with the heart drawn exactly like that) or maybe a ‘never doubt your looks, you’re the prettiest person I’ve met, inside and out’ when he knows you’ve been looking at the mirror a tad bit too much. He knows he gets a little too busy sometimes, so he thinks of this as a way of showing you that you’re always on his mind no matter where he is or what he’s doing.
Kenma, Yamaguchi, Kageyama, Konoha, Iwaizumi, Daichi
Bonus for Kags cause happy birthay to our lil blueberry headed gremlin <3
Greeting Cards. He’s so quiet all the time, and he knows that. It’s just that when you’re around, he feels a little too much. His heart beats a little too fast, he’s mesmerised by the trail of perfume you leave a little too much and your hands entangled with his make him smile a little too much, but he doesn’t mind. He could never mind. So he makes his actions speak louder than his words. Since he isn’t quite well aware of which one he should give you, he ends up picking the ones with the most idiomatic expressions. High chance he picks one with a dirty joke and doesn’t get why you’re laughing once he gives it to you, at all.

Adore
For the Curves and Kisses collab!
Can I just say I was so happy to write this? I, myself, am chubby irl. Although I want to change that, and have been losing weight over the past year or so, I still want people to love me for who I am regardless. I’m lucky enough to have people encouraging me and letting me know that I’ll always be beautiful to them.
Yamaguchi takes this to the extremes a little-
Tumblr media
Title: Adore
Pairings: Yamaguchi x Chubby! Reader
WARNINGS: Yandere themes, stalking, some insecurities, drugging, Yamaguchi means well but does not do well
Summary: Yamaguchi loves you just the way you are. If you’re going to doubt your beauty, then he’ll just have to prove to you how lovable you are.
Note: Thank you @ceo-of-daichi for letting me join the collab! I had a lot of fun writing it, so I hope everyone likes reading it!
adore
/verb/
love and respect (someone) deeply.
Yamaguchi was grateful that you never messed with your bedroom curtains.
Thick material that blocked out any shadows or silhouettes that were meant to be shown, covering most of your window. All but one little corner on the left.
From the angle it was at, it was extremely unlikely that you’d ever spot him, but that didn’t stop him from anxiously ducking any time you looked in his general vicinity. He often worried that you may open your curtains someday, then close them again in a way that covered up that perfect peeping spot he’d been using for months.
He didn’t mean to be creepy, and he always minded your privacy. Relatively speaking, of course. If you were getting changed, he’d cover his eyes until he was sure you’d finished. He’d only misjudged the time once, and he’d been so embarrassed that he ran all the way back to his house, his face the color of a ripe tomato.
He watched you step in front of your full-length mirror, frowning as you surveyed your reflection with a critical eye. Yamaguchi let out a sad sigh as he watched you do so, his heart aching at the thought that you might see yourself as anything less than beautiful.
Yamaguchi knew what it was like, to feel like a part of your appearance is judged harshly. When he was younger, people made fun of his freckles, and, as he got older, a few people mistook them for acne. He was so self-conscious about them for so long and then…
You talked with your friend about features you found cute. You’d insisted that you didn’t have a type, and that you’d like someone for their personality, not their looks. But when your friend pressed you to give just one thing you think is cute you had given an answer Yamaguchi could have never expected.
Freckles. You thought freckles were cute.
He was already leaning forward in his seat to eavesdrop, and that statement just about knocked him out of the chair. Finally, he felt comfortable with his face, with the feature he worried most about.
You liked freckles, so he was proud to have them. He could have been beaten up in an alleyway that day for having them and he’d die happy knowing that you liked them.
Sure, you didn’t specifically say his freckles were cute- it was just a general statement, but it was the closest he’d ever felt to being loved by you. He sat behind you in every class for two years and one semester, and never once did you notice him.
Yamaguchi wasn’t the most noticeable guy- he knew he was fairly plain-looking. Although a part of him wished you’d turn around and see him (really see him, not just pass a homework sheet back to him), another part of him was too nervous to handle talking to you yet.
He wished that he could hold your round cheeks in his hands and stroke them gently with his thumb or that he could wrap an arm around your plush waist and draw your soft body close to his. If you wanted to work on getting healthier or losing weight, he would fully support you, but if you didn’t, he’d be fine with that too!
You were the most beautiful girl in the entire world. Yamaguchi believed that with every cell in his body. No model or celebrity could match up to you- not in any way, shape, or form. And now, as you twirled around in the mirror, looking happy about something or other, he felt that he was the luckiest man in the world, just for being able to be in your presence. Whether you were aware of it or not.
You weren’t usually one for parties, but it was a friend’s birthday, so you didn’t have much of a choice. Normally so caught up in studies, you barely knew what to do with yourself when you stepped through the door of the club. People were everywhere- drinking, dancing, sitting… in fact, one couple seemed to be doing all three at once.
It wasn’t your scene, not by any means, but it wasn’t about you tonight, it was about your bestie turning twenty-two. The other girls were all either already twenty-two or were nearing it, so it was finally a year you could all legally go drinking together.
You all took a seat in an area with at the least-sticky barstools, chattering excitedly with each other about the latest gossip. When a tall man interrupted and invited the birthday girl to dance and you all encouraged her to go, the group of you giggling like schoolgirls.
Like some sort of magic switch being flicked, men came over and, one-by-one, your friends were whisked off to dance with handsome strangers. You idly twirled your necklace in your fingers, unsure whether you were relieved or disappointed that you hadn’t been asked yet.
“I’m not big on dancing, but can I at least buy you a drink?” A soft, masculine voice asked softly behind you. You turned around to find a shyly-smiling man behind you. He looked to be about your age, but definitely overdressed for a nightclub. He looked more like he was going to a wedding with the wrinkle-free black suit he was wearing.
“That’d be great, thanks,” You smiled warmly, “I’m not big on dancing either.”
The man turned his face, blushing so brightly his freckles disappeared under the red glow, “S-so what’s a beautiful lady like you doing all alone?”
It sounded cheesy, like something out of a romance movie, and the mystery man didn’t sound even remotely suave when he said it, but you found it even more endearing that way, “Birthday party. For a friend, I mean, not mine.”
“You really are, though.” The young man said. When he noticed your confused expression, he backtracked, “Beautiful! A beautiful lady! You really are beautiful, yeah, sorry I’m- I’m not very good at…” the poor guy gestured awkwardly, looking at the ground as though he wished it’d swallow him up.
“Aww, thanks! I don’t really think so, but it’s nice of you to say!” You giggled at his bashfulness and took a sip of the drink he’d bought you, not taking your eyes off of his.
“You are beautiful.” The man’s voice was deadly serious, his gaze hardening, “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and you shouldn’t doubt that. Ever.”
It was your turn to flush, a little uncomfortable by how serious he suddenly was, “I didn’t mean to fish for compliments or anything, I just… I meant…” You decided to cut off your flustered stutters with a deep drink from your glass.
“I know you didn’t, (Y/n).”
The man began to talk, letting you down a few shots of alcohol, always filled back up again by the bartender on the stranger’s request. The conversation started with him talking enthusiastically about a hobby you both shared, but as the discussion wore on, you found yourself slowly drifting.
You forced yourself to talk, hoping that would stave away whatever drowsiness was tugging at your subconscious, “What’s your name? I don’t think I ever caught it.”
“Yamaguchi Tadashi!” His grin was almost blinding, the man seeming so pleased that you were taking an interest in him.
The sleepy feeling remained as you tried to introduce yourself and you stopped midway, realizing three disturbing things in quick succession.
Firstly, you hadn’t introduced yourself to Yamaguchi before this moment, yet he knew your name. He’d used it earlier on in the conversation, you remember that vividly.
Second, the alcohol you’d been consuming was your favorite drink. You would have assumed it was a coincidence, if it didn’t look different from normal. The water was foggy and the ice had sunk to the bottom. Signs as if it had been… tampered with.
And the third thing...
You weren’t sitting at the barstool anymore. No, your exhausted brain wasn’t able to catch up to your body. The body that had been slowly sinking into Yamaguchi’s embrace for several minutes.
He lifted you into the air with an ease you’d never been carried with before. His hands groped your doughy flesh and he sighed blissfully before nuzzling his nose into your hair with a childlike giggle.
“You really are the most beautiful woman in the world, (Y/n),” Yamaguchi said softly, laying a gentle kiss on your forehead, “I’ll show you just how much I love you… how perfect you are… you’ll stay with me until you learn that you’re beautiful.”
The door to the nightclub closed silently behind him as he carried you through the parking lot, the two of you unnoticed by the dancing crowd.
“And even after you do, you’ll stay with me so I can appreciate every inch of your beauty.”

cute things haikyu boys would do for you
cw: gn!reader
love letters
every month on different occasions (or on occasions he made up for you) you receive a mysterious letter written specifically for you. he mails it in your locker or bag or your workplace and never repeats himself cause this man really wants you to work hard for that. the letter always has the simple envelope cause he likes to keep it official and formal but it’s the message that you should be amazed by. it begins beyond the topic: he would tell you who pissed him off or what he really wants to do at weekends. and it never fails to somehow smoothly start to describe how important you are in his life. you are the only person that irritates him less. you are the person who he wants to spend all the weekends with. but of course he phrases it in the most metaphorical way and you get it. you are the reason he becomes such a poet.

cooking for you
this dude is really trying to outdo your mom. he always makes sure that you have your lunch and checks if you have liked it. he really cares about your opinion and waits for your honest review. there is always a little note wishing you a good day and telling you that this lunch is an act of pure love. and of course it is going to be a good day because in the evening it is your turn to do something for him. when he returns home and sees you cooking he leans on the doorway with his arms crossed and watches you in satisfaction with a pleased grin. he helps you out a little with only one of his hands while the other enjoys holding your waist. although he definitely found everything tasty he says that you are his favorite meal.

stickers
you used to regret oversleeping and not catching your man before leaving to work. but now as you wake up you see a trail of stickers following you straight to the breakfast. he uses different colors and fonts and draws hearts near your name every time. and it tells something either motivating or extremely cute like “sorry, cutie! your sleepy face is non-wakeable xoxo”, “call me when you read this i miss you:(“, "i hope you miss me too<3”, “why are you still reading this call me!!!” he also draws suns, stars, flowers, cats and everything that comes to mind when he thinks about you while writing. he is ready to make these notes every day if you’d call him and talk to him with the excited voice telling how much you’ve enjoyed these especially drawings.

when you two miss the movie again because you both didn’t know what to wear, he suggests that you should bake something together. but as long as you ease the dough he unexpectedly takes your hand and starts to spin you. then he suddenly stops and catches your other hand with his, while his other arm gently moves to your waist. and it doesn’t bother you that all your hands are in flour. you two start swinging in sync with the imaginary melody. and he is surprisingly good at it. when you get used to the rhythm he lifts you up taking you fully in his arms. he covers you with kisses as you laugh and try to resist. he pretends to lose balance so you would grip his neck in order not to fall. he smirks and continues giving kisses all over your face. the happiness you two feel leads to this becoming a tradition.

hi! just dropping in to say i love your writing! if it’s not too much, could you possibly write a fluffy scenario or hc where you hold hands for the first time with any of the hq boys of your choice and you both are super flustered yet happy? 👉👈 thank you 🥺
AIGHT CAFFEINE DON’T FAIL ME NOW.
First Time Holding Hands (w/ Sugawara, Iwaizumi, Yamaguchi, and Akaashi)
Warning(s): none
-----------------------------
Sugawara
-“Why are you so far away?” “...What? Who is?” 
- glances back with an easy smile on his face at you, tilting his head slightly as you pretend like you don’t know what he’s talking about
- chuckles lightly before fake-pouting, overdramatically sighing with a hand rested over his heart 
- “My cute girlfriend doesn’t even want me to walk her home from school-” “You know that’s not it!!!” 
- Loves seeing you flustered, but lightens up the teasing because he knows how easily worked up you get
- “It’s fine. I’m used to not being loved.” 
- smile grows when you huff, bashfully catch up to him in a few long strides, walking alongside him with heat in your cheeks 
- “Happy?” you mumble, heart beating out of control as his eyes close with a wide grin at your question
- grabs your bag strap before you can walk any further, slowly taking it away from you to shoulder it onto his own as you blink in confusion 
- he would never say it but he was kind of freaking out too 
- slips his hand into yours gently, feeling you stiffen before relaxing, making him  just cherish you in that moment as you blink owlishly at him in the setting sun 
- your hand was so warm how cute 
- kisses your knuckle to top it off, knowing your fuse was about to bust eventually out of embarrassment 
- walks along casually, pocketing your hand in his jacket pocket while winking at you as he tugs you along 
- “Much.” “I hate you!” 
Iwaizumi
- “Dude you haven’t even-” “Shut up.” 
- glares at a giggling Hanamaki and Matsukawa as Iwaizumi bites into his curry bun a bit more violently than usual 
- “Ooooh want me to help you practice-” “Don’t come near me, shittykawa.” 
- to be honest you both were really awkward when it came to this kind of stuff, because being in a new relationship from being best friends had different kind of boundaries 
- “Look. I’ll show you.” “Oikawa, uh, maybe you shouldn’t-” 
- is half-expecting Oikawa to grab his hand anyways, but instead the brunette is strolling his way over to you across the lunch room 
- “Oh he is not-” “I think he is!” 
- gaze hardens immediately when your other best friend approaches you, Oikawa talking to you with a bright grin on his face as you listen on in slight confusion 
- so when he watches Oikawa raises his palm up, seeming to ask you to compare hand-sizes, he’s borderline seething 
- Hanamaki and Matsukawa both have their hands covered over their mouths laughing like this isn’t happening
- stands up immediately when you hesitantly raise your hand up to meet Oikawa’s, allowing him to interlace your fingers- 
- “Hajime?!” ignores you as he casually throws you over his shoulder, making sure to keep your skirt down and away from prying eyes as Oikawa pales on the spot 
- “I’ll deal with you later.” As he ignores Oikawa’s soldier-salute with a terrified look in his eyes, walking out into an empty hallway as you amusedly glance down at your boyfriend
- “So you say you don’t get jealous-” “Shush. You’re not off the hook either.” 
- rolls his eyes at your giggles as you lean against the hallway when he finally sets you down, looking up with a grin at your boyfriend 
- “Something you needed?” “....Hand.” 
- sighs as if he’s annoyed when you blink in confusion, looking off in the other direction before holding his hand out
- “...just...give me your hand, will you?” “Iwa, we’ve been holding hands since we were kids...” 
- Ignores your giggles as you take his hand in yours, feeling a completely different feeling overwhelm him when he realizes he’s holding your hand as your boyfriend 
- just kind of stands there, tracing his thumbs along the lines of your hand before his cheeks begin to darken 
- “You can let go if you want-” “No.” 
- Tightens his hold, pulling you into him as you melt into his embrace, smiling into his shoulder as he mumbles into your hair, hands finding your waist
- “...let’s just stay like this awhile.” “Tooru really got to you, didn’t he-?” “Don’t say his name.” 
Yamaguchi 
- First date with this baby boy means he’s probably a nervous wreck the whole time, tbh 
- probably trying to hold your hand the whole time, but can’t work up enough courage because he doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable :( 
- No for real he tried during the movie but you thought he wanted some popcorn, so instead of your hand he got buttery fingers so he definitely could not hold your hand
- “You could’ve just said so, Yama!” “Haha yeah. M-My mistake.” 
- Lord help this boy 
- but when you were at the cafe, sitting side by side in a booth as you talk about the movie, you begin nodding off sleepily
- “Are you tired?! I can take you home right...now...” trails off when you plop your head down onto his shoulder, humming that you were fine before beginning to play with his finger tips absent-mindedly 
- Eyes widen and he stiffens like a board before you feel it, and you giggle a bit nervously before straightening 
- “Sorry, I...didn’t mean to make this weird. I’m gonna grab a hot chocolate and we can go, alright?” 
- doesn’t answer as you slip out of the booth, a feeling of disappointment settling in both your stomachs before Yamaguchi swallows back his nervousness, slipping out after you a few minutes after when you have your beverage 
- walks quietly behind you as he tries to find the right moment, eyes widening when he sees you yelp at how close a car was coming alongside the road of the sidewalk 
- “Come here.” as he pulls you softly by the shoulder and hand, switching you to his other side 
- “I’ll walk by the r-road...” breath catches in his throat when you smile, tightening your hold on his hand as he feels his chest finally relax 
- “Tadashi your hand is on fire.” “D-Did you have to say something about it?!” 
Akaashi
- he thought it was cute that you were shy 
- but he draws the line when you’re literally physically affectionate with everyone but him 
- “Uh, I don’t know man, maybe it’s because you’re her boyfriend?” Konoha tilts his head as you quite literally let Bokuto give you a bear hug in the background 
- isn’t the type to get annoyed easily, but when you’re willing to hug Bokuto more than him, he feels a lick of fiery irritation in his stomach
- “...so I’m guessing you haven’t kissed her yet-” “Konoha, please stop talking.”
- literally is so smart but cannot comprehend why you always walk a good three feet behind him, or shy away from his motions to hold you
- gets so upset about it he asks Bokuto for help 
- desperate times call for desperate measures 
- so that’s how you end up confusedly following Bokuto’s directions to Akaashi, and you shyly peek your head into the boy’s locker room just as Akaashi is shrugging his jacket on 
- “Ready to go home?” “Mhm.” 
- the original plan was to be a “man” and just grab your hand while cornering you against the lockers, flustering you until you tell him the truth- 
- but come on this is Akaashi Keiji, gentleman of the century
- backs out of it with a light sigh, smiling a gentle smile at you before nodding his head slightly, walking up to you carefully as you begin to fidget nervously 
- “...My sleeve.” “H-Huh?” 
- clears his throat, looking away before turning around
- “It’s okay if you’re uncomfortable for now, but how about holding my sleeve to start? That’s only if you’re okay with it, of course.” 
- breathes through a heavy beat of silence before a warm feeling encases his hand, and he glances back at you in shock 
- “I just...um, really like you, so I kind of freak out because you’re just so...perfect? Is that the right word?”
- smiles at your rambling before shaking his head lightly, turning to face you fully as his blue eyes look into yours lovingly 
- “...May I?” “Y-yes...?” 
- slowly keeps his hand in yours while the other cups your face, slender fingers gliding through your hair as you will yourself to stay still along with your heart beat 
- kisses you on the forehead as if you were fragile, and you tremble a little, prompting him to pull back with a gentle look 
- “We’ll take it as slow as you want, at whatever pace you want, okay?” as he traces your cheeks, watching a soft smile pass your face before his tone hardens 
- “Just no more hugging Bokuto. I swear I can give better hugs than him.” “...’Kaashi, you’re so cute.”

Falling Asleep on Him | Tsukishima, Akaashi, Iwaizumi
Pairings: Tsukishima X Reader (gender neutral), Akaashi X Reader (gender neutral), and Iwaizumi X Reader (gender neutral)
Genre: sleepy fluff 🥰 
Author’s Note: time to bring back more group hcs tehe
Falling Asleep on Them | Kenma, Kuroo // Falling Asleep on Them | Oikawa, Atsumu // Falling Asleep on Them | Yamaguchi, Ushijima, Osamu 
Tumblr media
Tsukishima: 
The bus swayed ever so slightly on the road as Karasuno returned back home to Miyagi from Tokyo
The dimming sun glistened over the bay as Takeda drove over it
Out of the corner of his eye, with an elbow propped on the window sill, he could see your head bobbing as you struggled to stay awake
He could feel it too with the earbuds the two of you shared
“You know you can sleep, right?” his voice broke the silence and still atmosphere on the bus amongst the snores from the team as they slept after playing two full games back to back,
He peered down to your figure in the seat beside his, seeing you struggle to hard to stay awake for some reason
You wanted so badly to curl up in a ball to conceal yourself from the cold air of the air con
You simply nodded to his words and leaned your head back into your seat, finally giving up trying to fight your need to sleep and let your body relax
It didn’t take long at all with the music playing, the sway of the bus
You melted into sleep, letting your body go, letting your burning eyes rest
Tsukishima kept his own eyes on the horizon, his cheek pressed into his fist resting on the window
His legs were finally able to relax after today’s strenuous day, the games lasting longer than anyone else in the gymnasium could expect
With his eyes finally closing under their own weight, he could remember vividly looking up into the stands, hearing your voice cheering out for him after blocking a ball with Kageyama and Asahi beside him
The block that tipped the game into Karasuno’s favor after what felt like a year long rally
The light in your eyes, excitement bubbling in your voice when he heard you
Even though you were so far away before but you were there
You were here
He could feel his own strength regaining when you threw up a peace sign, a thing the two of you shared-
His eyes opened feeling the sudden bump on his arm, turning to find your head resting on him
He thought nothing of it and let you be, watching you at ease, thinking about how many bus rides and how long it took for you to reach the gymnasium today
But before he could sleep himself, he didn’t miss the goosebumps on your arms, the way your body jolted ever so slightly to the cold air whereas he was unaffected with his club jacket on
He unzipped his bag sitting on his lap and pulled out his beige sweatshirt, draping it over your body without moving too much to bother you
You subconsciously grabbed onto the soft fabric that filled your nose with Tsukishima’s homely smell, making you sigh in your sleep
He felt his ears growing hot, turning his eyes back outside as he slowly returned to his memories that lulled him to sleep for the rest of the bus ride back home
Tumblr media
Akaashi: 
Soft rain trickled down the sides of the house as it tapped off the roof, bouncing off the leaves and windows, all surfaces outside
The rainy breeze blew through the screens of the windows that were pulled open, making the sheer white curtains in the bedroom float briskly, the ambiance in the room so peaceful
And the best part was being beside Keiji
His fingers danced with yours as he laid on his back, head propped on his pillows with his glasses on, legs propped up with a book in his other hand
You laid on your back, his body acting as your pillow for you as you held your own book
Your mind let you flit through the flowery fields in a different world on the edge of your comprehension, imagining Keiji beside you, the two of you without any worries in life, nothing being a bother
As you took the words in of the story of the two main characters, you imagined yourself and Keiji as them
He spun you around in the sunny field, pulling your bodies close together so he could dance
Your hand holding the top of your book to your stomach wavered, the book wobbly, your breathing slowing down
He smiled to himself seeing the way your chest was rising and falling slowly, your eyelashes struggling to hold open your eyes
The feeling of taps on your wrist pulled your mind from the world you were in, pulling you bask to reality
“Tired?” He brought your hand to your forehead, rubbing it back so he cleared the hair from your face
“Just dreaming with my eyes open,” you spoke, turning your body to the side to meet his sea green eyes as they looked down to you as you nuzzled your face in his hand, his thumb rubbing your cheek just below your eye
“What about?” You closed your eyes against his touch
“Us,” you kissed his palm
The way you did this so easily always made his heart flutter, bis body welling up with a warmth like no other
“What’re you reading?” You asked, repositioning yourself as you closed your book and set it to the side, laying beside him, your arm and leg draped over his
“I’ll read it to you, hm?” He asked, shifting his head to look at you as you nodded
Keiji’s voice was soft as the words rolled off his tongue, painting vivid images in your mind, yet again bringing you to an entirely new place
He read on, finishing the chapter, smiling to himself already knowing you were fast asleep with the way your body stilled against his
Your breaths slowed and deep, cheek squished into his shoulder
“Cute…” he leaned and pressed a kiss to your forehead before continuing his reading
All the books he could possibly read could bring him thousands of miles away to an entirely different universe but he didn’t need to let his imagination take him anywhere else, keeping him grounded here where he was with you
You were his world and able to take him on an adventure just being with you
Tumblr media
Iwaizumi: 
You jumped harshly to the sudden booming sound of an explosion that sounded all around the basement theater of Hajime’s house, sending your heart racing in your chest
His theater was one that was adjusted perfect to his preferences so he could watch all the movies he wanted in the comfort of his home
The two of you were on a mission that started after dinner to kick off the start of summer- a movie marathon of all of Hajime’s favorite movies that you had never seen before, starting with his all time favorite, Godzilla
So far, the two of you were two-thirds of the way through and it was already almost 2am
It wasn’t too long, about an hour after the usual time you slept but you had been all over the city today to run some errands, ending the day with Hajime
You leaned on a pillow rested on his propped up legs on the couch, your jolt going very noticeable by Hajime
“Are you scared?” He laughed, his hand rubbing your thigh
“No,” you smiled tiredly in the dark, leaning your head back to look up to him, the light of the tv illuminating his face. “I’m just tired,” you yawned
“Do you want to go upstairs and sleep then?”
“Mm-mm,” you shook your head. “If you want to finish the movie, then let’s go up after it’s done.” You took his hand in yours and rested it on your chest, your body naturally cuddling it, fingers trailing up and down his forearm, taking in his warmth
“Sleep here, then.” He moved your pillow and lowered his leg slightly, making room for you in his lap
The thunderous booms went off again, making you jump that just made Hajime smile at you as the heroes in the movie continued to fight against the villains
You laid across his lap, laying down at an inclined angle
Your back rested on his thighs, feet still propped up on the couch
His arm became your personal pillow, the other resting on the side over your body, his hand drawing shapes on your back
“I got you,” he smirked to himself peering down to your sleepy self, your breathing already slowed
He turned the volume down a bit for the rest of the movie
Hajime found himself glancing down to you every now and then, readjusting his arm that was your pillow so it wasn’t uncomfortable for you
He shifted his legs, bringing your body even closer to his, not minding the weight or how hot his body was getting with yours on top
You breathed gently, your nose filling with the scent of Hajime holding you lovingly
He savored this feeling, knowing he was going to be going hundreds and thousands of miles away by the time this summer would be ending
He only had this last summer with you, with his friends and he wanted to make all the memories he could before he would be in an entirely different country, halfway across the world from you
“I’ll always got you,” he said these simple words you didn’t even hear but meant it with his soul as he leaned forward, pressing a chaste kiss to your temple, his attention drifting away from the movie and more onto you instead

Can you write a tsukishima kei X reader where they both tease eachother but don't realise that they have feelings for eachother. Then tsukishima says something really offensive to reader and she gets really upsets and ignores him, he then realizes his feelings for her?
I struggled writing this but it was actually quite fun! Thank you for the request.
Tumblr media
Teasing was something fun. The tumbling words were light and playful, hinting at something more but never letting their secrets free.
You lived for the flash of annoyance in Tsukishima’s hazel eyes; a small smirk always betraying that he enjoyed the banter. Whether you were speaking to him or commenting loud enough to draw his attention, he would turn to you fully and respond in kind. Though his words dripped in sarcasm, you never took them personally.
Perhaps you should have. Your comments never held any malice and you always strayed away from actual insults.
Tsukishima didn’t quite understand that part of your game.
Some of the things that he said stung. In those times, you’d just flip him off and pretend to go about your day without a second thought. But they did bother you.
Enough to find you standing in front of your mirror and glaring at your reflection as though it could give you the answers. Everything about your relationship with Tsukishima was frivolous. You had never held a real conversation. He was just a stupidly confident man with a sharp tongue and honeyed hair. His glasses were ridiculous, his taste in music was poor, and his eyes were the type of golden brown that snatched your breath from your lungs.
You groaned and turned away from your reflection.
Why did you have to fall for him?
Was it because of his voice and the soft edge that lay beneath its harsh words? Perhaps the gentleness of his movements had drawn your attention. He never looked out of place and you envied him that.
You contemplated telling him initially but decided against it. Getting a better feel of his attitude towards you would help before any misguided confessions slipped out.
That lasted until the next day.
“I know I shouldn’t be expecting anything intelligent to come from you but think things through a little more before you speak.”
Tsukishima glanced down at you as he passed, the hint of a smile on his lips. The insult wasn’t meant. He had often mocked your intelligence before to little response – after all, he knew that you didn’t get easily offended.
This time though, you didn’t immediately respond and when you did, it was just a slight jab about something trivial.
He turned around to look back at you but you had hurried off somewhere.
Shrugging that off, he continued on his day until the next time he saw you. When he did, he waited for the retaliation.
And waited.
And waited.
He was so focused on listening out for your snide comment that he didn’t even pay attention to his other conversation. Yamaguchi, thankfully, didn’t need an active participant in his discussion. He only seemed minorly confused by Tsukishima’s confusion before continuing.
Once you’d left, he sighed and said, “Maybe it’s been a bad day.”
Tsukishima glanced over his shoulder to confirm you hadn’t walked back in. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“You didn’t, like, call her a bitch, right?”
“What? Obviously not.”
Yamaguchi shrugged. “Then don’t worry so much about it. She’ll be back to normal soon.”
Tsukishima scoffed, electing to pretend the conversation was unimportant. He changed the topic onto something that was more in his area of expertise but his thoughts kept hanging on you. It irritated him to no end and he spent the rest of the day snapping a little too harshly at everybody.
The next day went no better.
He waited to hear your voice, having never realised before how well he knew it. It was something missing from his day and he didn’t even know why.
“It’s not my fault if she’s going to be sensitive about stupid stuff,” he stated when Yamaguchi next commented about your unusual silent treatment.
“Nope. Some people are just soft.”
“You’re one of those people,” Tsukishima had retorted. He meant it mockingly though any kind of rudeness had little effect on his best friend. It was part of who he was… he had really believed you understood that.
Yamaguchi tried to move on but Tsukishima continued with his complaints.
“Why would she just suddenly start taking offense to things?”
“Maybe you hit a nerve.”
“How was I meant to know she was touchy about her intelligence? Anyway, it was days ago. She should be over it by now.”
“If it’s bothering you that much, just say sorry.”
“It’s not bothering me.”
He wasn’t stupid – of course, it was – but he was hardly about to tell somebody that. You were nobody to him and your lack of comments was an absolute relief. In fact, he was rather happy that you had decided to finally take the hint.
A whole month passed and he stopped waiting to hear your voice. His stubbornness kept any apology away from you, even though one accidental meetup in the hall had nearly drawn one out. It was honestly ridiculous, he had nothing to apologise about.
He could apologise just to have you speak to him again… Tsukishima quickly chased away that traitorous thought. It was rare for him to apologise for things that actually required it, let alone for nonsense like this. A simple fact that everybody he complained to seemed to directly refute.
Just apologise. Just apologise. Like he cared enough to do so.
It took him another two months to realise why he minded so much. Why he was still hung up on you despite your supposed non-importance.
He had been walking with Yamaguchi when they passed a flower store, the place having a special on roses for your loved ones. Yamaguchi had decided to get some and for a split second, Tsukishima had touched the petals and considered buying some for you.
He pulled his hand away as though it had been burned.
“Normally you get fifteen for a situation like this.”
He scoffed at Yamaguchi. “You really need to deal with your obsession about this woman.”
Tsukishima didn’t buy fifteen roses but he realised then what it was about you that bothered him so. And he absolutely hated the conclusion that he came to.
He stepped in front of you the next day, drawing your attention to him (though he didn’t know that it rarely left). “Why are you ignoring me?” he asked.
“I’m not?” It sounded like a question, even to you.
Tsukishima wasn’t going to argue with you about it. He just raised an eyebrow and waited for you to sigh and continue.
“I’m just… I…”
“Wow that explains it very well.”
You narrowed your eyes at him. “Would it kill you to say something nice?”
“Since when have we ever been nice to each other?” he asked.
Of course you didn’t have an answer for that. You had never been ‘nice’ to each other – at least not in the way most people would consider nice. But the thing was, those moments still came to your memory fondly.
“You know, I always made sure never to actually insult you,” you said.
“I never actually insulted you.”
“Yes, you did,” you pointed out. “You’re constantly pointing out how stupid I am or how uncoordinated I am or whatever!”
“It’s not like I meant them.”
That tripped you up a little. Tsukishima’s height had you looking up at him, his expression entirely unchanged. Why would he have said things that weren’t true? It wasn’t like you had even initiated this entire taunt exchange way back when you had first met. Sure, you had responded but it was his comment on your hair that had gotten to you.
“You didn’t… what?”
Tsukishima stared at you like you were stupid. “It’s not my fault if you choose to take things personally but get over it a bit quicker, would you?”
It wasn’t an apology, not by a long shot, but it was enough to explain something that you couldn’t quite pinpoint yourself. Tsukishima wanted to talk to you. Even if he thought you were being childish, his main problem lay in your sudden silent treatment.
“We’re not friends,” you said.
“No.”
“So why do you care if we’re talking or not?”
He shrugged. “I don’t.”
He did. Of course he did. Part of him wanted to say that but his pride just wouldn’t allow it. Thankfully, the message seemed to get through to you regardless.
“Do you want to go out for lunch?” you offered.
“Why would I ever want to do that?”
You smiled, noticing the small smirk’s appearance on his face. “Tomorrow. At 12.”
“Fine.”
Tsukishima left you standing there, refusing to glance back even if he wanted to. He told himself it was because he didn’t care and it had nothing to do with the uncharacteristic smile on his face.

Sitting in Their Lap at Random
Pairing(s): Suna Rintarō x Gender Neutral! Reader, Akaashi Keiji x Gender Neutral! Reader, Ushijima Wakatoshi x Gender Neutral! Reader, Yamaguchi Tadashi x Gender Neutral! Reader, Tendō Satori x Gender Neutral! Reader
Warnings: Strong language, a little jealousy in Yamaguchi’s, fluff across the board
Tumblr media
Suna Rintaro:
It wasn’t anything new, for you to want to sit in your boyfriend’s lap.
When he was playing with his friends, online? Straddling his lap, both of you comfortably seated as he continues his game.
When you two were watching a movie? If you weren’t already lying down, you would be seated on his lap, his his well-manicured nails gently scratching your scalp.
When you two are on the train? Sitting on his lap to ‘save space’ for the people around you.
You two are insanely affectionate with one another.
Behind closed doors, at least.
PDA can happen, on occasion, but you guys didn’t partake in it all that much.
Usually, near immediately after he or you had gotten home, he’d be dragging you to the couch to pull you into his lap.
Or he would be be dragging you to the bedroom to a ‘mandatory afternoon nap’
However, today was different.
The twins were over, along with a few other members of the volleyball club.
They’d been here all day and even though you loved every one of the Inarizaki team members, you wanted your boyfriend’s affection.
When you come to the conclusion that they have yet to leave and probably won’t be leaving anytime soon, you decide to take matters into your own hands.
Walking over to where your boyfriend sat on the couch with his friends, you halt in front of them, letting him finish what he was saying to Osamu. Once he’s finished, he just grins up at you, already knowing exactly what you want. So, he brings a hand to yours and helps you straddle his lap, your knees sitting on the couch on either side of his hips.
   With a soft hand combing to gently and soothingly drag his nails over your scalp, he ignores the looks he’s getting.
   “Ya’ gettin’ soft on us, ‘ere, Suna?” Atsumu casts a smirk at you two, while you tuck your face into Rintarō’s neck.
    Rintarō just casts him a smug look, “You’re just jealous that you can’t keep anyone.” 
   With an off-handed ‘fuck you’ coming from the blonde twin cast in his direction, Rintarō turns his attention solely back to you, gently kissing your head and rubbing circles against the small of your back, pressing your body against his.
   No one that didn’t see you both near everyday, knew about his affection towards you, about the way that he absolutely adored holding you, being held by you, laying under you, laying on top of you... Just anything that would insure that he was touching you.
   With his gentle, soothing touches taking away the toils of the long day, you find yourself relaxing and falling asleep against your boyfriend. Rintarō, uncaring to the fact his former teammates were watching, gently pulls you closer to him, a soft smile on his face and a sense of pride in his heart.
   You were all his and he loved getting to show you off like this. His partner, who found comfort in his embrace, in just being in his presence.
   Aran grins, “This happen often?”
   “You have no idea.” Rintarō delivers a kiss to your forehead, “Not that I’m complaining. Wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Akaashi Keiji:
Keiji was a hard worker.
Anyone who said otherwise didn’t know him.
You swore, all he did was work sometimes, it worries you.
Tonight was one of the many nights that he’d ended up not coming to bed, because he’d been so caught up in his writing.
You’d become accustomed to it.
Not that you were complaining. Keiji always made time for you and always apologized on nights like tonight when he’d had a particular inspiration that caused him to get enveloped in his writing.
You were just glad he’d gotten a large dinner, in case this was one of those days he got so caught up, he’d write through the night, then be too tired to eat breakfast.
It happened more often that you wished it did, but you knew he always took care of himself, afterwards, so you didn’t nag too much.
Tonight, like most nights, you were craving your fiancé’s warm embrace.
So, pulling one of your smaller blankets onto your shoulders, and letting the rest fall around your frame,
You walk into Keiji’s office.
He doesn’t look up but for a spit second.
But his soft, sweet smile (the same one that made you mELT on the spot) and nearly unnoticed nod confirmed that you could stay.
You were almost always allowed to stay.
Unless he was frustrated with his work.
He didn’t want to accidentally take it out on you (though you know he never truly would, you respected his wishes)
Standing in the doorway, you lean against the doorframe to his office, your favorite blanket held against you by your hands, balling up the corners, just under your chin.
   Keiji knew exactly what you were here for, eyes soft as they meet yours. His nod is only slight, but it’s enough for you to notice, padding over to him and silently waiting next to his chair so he could finish his sentence.
   Though once a period marked his spot on the page, he pushed his chair back a bit, turning it towards you. It was a large, comfy chair, bought for exactly this reason. Keiji silently holds a hand out for you to grasp while you straddle his lap in the chair, knees tucked on either side of him, the blanket slipping loosely over your bodies as you lean into him.
   Tucking the blanket around your shoulders so it wouldn’t fall, you wrap your arms around your fiancé’s waist, your head finding purchase in the crook of his neck. With the side of your head leaning against his shoulder and your face tucked in his neck, your soft breaths tickling his skin, he can’t help but smile.
   It wasn’t long before the soft tapping of the keys on his typewriter lulled you to sleep. The only problem Keiji had, when this happened, was that it was hard to get up from the chair with you, without waking you, if he finished. And after finishing the chapter he was working on, he looks down at your sleeping form with a sleepy smile.
   You were so precious to him and you didn’t even realize it, did you? He wouldn’t be the man he was, without your unconditional love and support for him. And he would spend everyday of the rest of his life, thanking you for it.
   However, right now, he was moving his hand to the side of the rolling chair, hand connecting with the lever to recline the chair (- which he most definitely hadn’t gotten for this exact reason...) After reclining you both, he pulls you up a bit more against him, slipping his glasses off and placing them on the table.
   Keiji’s arms come to wrap around you, securing you against his chest, the sound of your soft breaths and the classical movie he had playing through his study to calm himself, lulling him to sleep as well.
Ushijima Wakatoshi:
It wasn’t often that Wakatoshi even got to sit down, long enough for you to get to cuddle with him in his lap
He was up before you were, every morning.
Though he would always wake you up just enough so he could tell you he loved you before he left.
But that’s another story, back to this one
He did get to share a lunch break with you, but having more than twenty minutes for lunch was usually rare.
He’s always there for dinner, but he’s always so exhausted that he’s likely to just take a shower and pass out, after.
When he was chosen for Japan’s Olympic team? His schedule only got busier.
So who was there to remind him that it was okay to take a break, sometimes?
His lovely partner.
So, on Sundays, his one day off from constant training... Who was there to sit in his lap and prevent him from trying to busy himself with other things, like grocery shopping and overall things that could wait?
That was you, as well.
And who would he be to push his cute partner away when they huffily sat on his lap?
Wakatoshi had only just sat down from his work on attempting to clean your whole house, this morning. He really never took a break, always wanting to busy himself with something.
   So, when I say you jumped on the opportunity, I mean you jumped on him.
   Olive colored eyes move to peer at you, a deep, baritone chuckle escaping your boyfriend. “Trying to make a point?” He muses as you get comfortable in his lap, already holding two water bottles, and your lunch for the day.
   Two Bentos that you spent time making, the previous night, something you tried to do everyday with one another, to make sure that you both got at least a little time together. Moving your legs to rest on the couch beside him, you lean on the arm of the couch so that you can somewhat turn towards him, still seated in his lap.
   “You deserve a break, you know,” You scold lightly, while you open one of the Bentos, allowing your boyfriend to take one from your hands so he can begin eating on his own, a look of amusement on his features as he listens to you. “I could do absolutely nothing and you’d still think I’m deserving of a break. You should keep the same energy when you’re thinking about yourself. As great as it is that you want to keep busy, it’s not healthy. You need you time, where you can tak-”
   Gently cradling the back of your head with a large hand, Wakatoshi presses his lips to yours, effectively silencing you. He draws away after a moment, though he doesn’t move, just pressing his forehead against yours. “Stop worrying,” his chest reverberated with his deep voice, making you smile a bit, feeling it against your arm.
   “Fine, but only if you promise to stop working yourself into the ground.” You state, narrowing your eyes at him, only for the athlete to chuckle and press his lips to yours, briefly, once again. 
   “Anything for you, my dear.”
Yamaguchi Tadashi:
Tadashi loves it when you sit on his lap.
Most favorite thing in the world is when you walk up to him and curl up in his lap.
Usually, he finds you do it when you notice he’s been studying too hard or when he seems to need a break from a project.
But he has known you to do it, whenever you get jealous.
So, when you two were out at a bar, having drinks with his former teammates and the bartender began flirting with him...
You weren’t too happy.
He continued to let them know that he was happily spoken for.
But they were persistent.
Even when you made it a point to place multiple kisses on his lips with a pointed glare towards the bartender, they couldn’t take a hint.
After finding yourself in a conversation with Hinata and Kageyama, you were pulled away from your boyfriend.
You were not happy to look over and find him sitting with Tsukishima, Daichi, and Sugawara at one of the tables in the bar, looking very uncomfortable as the bartender continued to flirt with him.
You trusted Tadashi but you knew by the way he continued to swat their hands away that he was uncomfortable.
And something you hated even more than someone flirting with your boyfriend was someone making him uncomfortable.
That was the final straw for you.
Excusing yourself from the two boys, you began to stomp over.
Your eyes had long-since strayed away from Kageyama and Hinata, now on the little booth that held your boyfriend, his best friend, and two of his former upperclassmen, and by extension, the flirty barkeep.
   You managed to keep yourself calm...
   Until they tried to card a hand through your boyfriend’s long hair. He smacked their hand away, but he couldn’t hide his uncomfortable expression. He hated people touching his hair, unless it was you, of course. With that, you slipped away from the two competing men to walk towards the booth.
   “Excuse me?” With a smile so sweet it would give someone cavities and a glare that could send a chill down anyone’s spine, you brush past the bartender to greet your boyfriend where he sat.
   All you have to do is tap lightly on his shoulder and he’s grinning, sliding back in his seat so you can slide yourself in his lap. His arms come to wrap themselves around you, his chin resting on your shoulder and his long hair tickling your cheek, making you smile and kiss his cheek.
   Then, you turn your gaze back to the bartender, tilting your head a bit, “I’m sorry, did you need something?” You hum, though they only respond with a look of envy, before going to ‘check on’ other customers. “Yeah, that’s what I thought.” Your utterance is caught by the four men at the table, who just shake their heads and grin in amusement.
   Tadashi pinches your sides playfully, nuzzling his nose against your cheek. “Jealous, honey?”
   Ignoring his question, you lean forward and rest your elbows on the table. “So, everyone... What were we talking about again?”
   Tadashi just grins, his hands rubbing your sides as he holds you securely in his lap. He didn’t mind that you were jealous at all, especially is you ended up in his lap like this, every time.
Tendō Satori:
Satori is...
Well, Satori is Satori (I’m in love PLEASE)
Boy is touch starved as HELL
He fucking craves your touch, all of the time.
You two will be working in his chocolaterie and mans will pull you into a hug ANY TIME you’re not helping a customer.
Your regulars know that you two are happy and very much in love.
Because even after you both got married, you’ve both stayed in the honeymoon phase.
It never stopped.
Every time you hug him, he just... Melts.
So when you come to sit on his lap and feed him chocolate while you both have the shop closed for a lunch break.
His heart melts.
His expression melts.
His everything just melts.
Motherfucker licks your cheek to be goofy, but that’s only after you start poking fun at the way that even now he still melts at your touch.
Flipping the sign around, the red-haired male slumps into a seat. Despite his actions seeming exhausted, you could tell by the grin adorning his lips that he was happy. And how could he not be?
   So many people loved him and his chocolaterie... And he had you. How could he not be happy with his life? Even if life had taken him through the ringer to get here, he was finally here and he was happy, with you. Speaking of you, his eyes flickered over to you as he noticed you bringing some of both yours and his personal favorite treats.
   He tilts his head at you as you approach him. “Watcha doin’?” He cooes as you come to stand in front of him.
   You silently nudge the outside of his feet with one of your own, signaling for him to sit up a bit and close his legs. He doesn’t say a word as he adjusts himself to sit up, already reaching for your waist so you can settle down comfortably in his lap. He tugs on you, causing you to fall into him, laughter escaping you both. 
   Feeding yourself a chocolate, you smile, before then popping on into his mouth. “Spending time with my husband. Something wrong with that?”
   “Not in the least, my dear,” he cooes into your ear, trying to ignore the heat rising in his cheeks, his eyes unable to trail from you. He still couldn’t believe you were all his. That you loved him. 
   “You’re so cute, Tori,” you coo, poking his cheek. “You still act the same way that you did when we first started dating, you know.” 
   He just grins and shrugs, “And somebody loves me for it,” he practically sings the words to you, taking a chocolate from your hands to pop into his mouth, before proceeding to lick your cheek and purposefully smear chocolate on your face.
   “Tori, that’s gross!”

Unknown Volleyball Player
Fandom: Haikyuu Pairing: Karasuno & Male!Reader Summary: You didn’t want to join the team, but you kinda did. Word Count:  1,414 Request: @greyofthystallion​ “ You wanted Haikyuu? You getting Haikyuu! Karasuno x MR. R is really quiet/shy and comes to all of Karasuno's games/practises. One day when the team is practising a ball goes towards a group of people watching practise and he saves them. It turns out R is actually a really good player and was once in the top 3 Liberos, (Insert freaking out Hinata here) but was too nervous to ask to join 'cause he came in the middle of the year and the team was already situated? And he joins the team?”
Tumblr media
After the lost with Abajo Sai, the team has been feeling a bit dejected. 
But, news had gone around the school that they made it to semi-finals, inclining people to come to watch their practices during the lunch hour on a Wednesday. You were one of the observers and the team noticed you often. You were the quiet one who liked watching what was going on, you hardly talked and you never like to draw attention towards you. 
The team was slowly getting better with techniques and working together, but there something missing. Whilst the unlikelihood of Noya being absent or hurt, they didn’t want Daichi to fill in as his position. They needed another libero just in case, plus, it’s only a matter of time they would need a new one after Noya will leave after his third year. 
“Is (L/n) watching again?” Noya asked, looking up at the balcony, see you watching them.
“Who is he?” Takeda asked the boys, Ukai wasn’t there for lunch practises on Wednesday, so he was there to watch them, “He’s the transfer, isn’t he?”
“Yeah,” Hinata exclaimed before Daichi glaring at him to quiet his voice down, “He’s in our year, see him go into class four with Tsukishima.”
“He’s quiet,” The blond boy speaks up, “I like him.” 
Nishanoya and Tanaka gasped, the fact that Tsukishima admitted he liked another person other than his best friend had wounded them. 
“Knock it off,” Daichi exclaimed, clapping his hands before telling to them to get changed so they can head off to their next lesson. 
You were a topic often talked about the boys, they wonder why you often came to watch, they had noticed that even before you joined their school you watch their matches. You were so amazed at the team, Kageyama’s brilliant serve with Hinata’s jump and their quick. You were astounded by Noya’s defending skills. 
When the next day had rolled about, you had gym that day and the volleyball club had their practice after school. You were about to leave school grounds when school ended, but you were preoccupied with the vending machine.
“Hi (L/n)!” Hinata greeted as you looked at him, grabbing your drink as Kageyama comes from the side to grab his milk, he nods you a greeting, “Will you be watching us?”
“Not today,” You replied as the two of them head away, Hinata being dragged away as he was upset you weren’t to watch them. You laughed as you see them dash into the gym, you shake your head.
You found the bunch funny, but you didn’t want to intrude on their practice. So, you decided to head home instead of watching. There was a group of girls walking past the gym doors, not noticing a flying ball towards them.
Your instinct kicked in as you ran to receive the ball perfectly, landing in a superhero stance. One stretched out, the other bent as you couched. One hand had propped itself on the ground to stabilize yourself after the powerful stray ball - yet your other hand still held your drink. 
You missed the stinging feeling of your arms, it was less there to feel as you had you school jacket on as the girls screamed before stopping that they hadn’t been saved.
“Oh, (L/n)-san! Thank you!” They say as you stood up, brushing yourself, a hint of embarrassment on your cheeks.
“Oh, it’s no worry,” You say with a smile as they bow to you, you waved them off as you scratched the back of your head as you turn around to see the volleyball team looking at you, “Hello?”
“What the fuck?” Noya screeches as you look at them sheepishly.
Tsukishima inclined himself to throw the volleyball in his hand towards you, just before anyone could scowl at him, you caught the ball with one hand, inches from your faces. The team looks at you dumbfounded with your insane reflexes. With a twist of your wrist, you got the volleyball to spin on your finger.
“What position do you play?” The coach asked you, you hold the ball as you looked up at Ukai.
“Libero.”
“Why have you been hiding that?” Tanaka screeches as you smile at them, throwing the ball back to the captain.
“Please show me how to do that!” Hinata exclaims just as you were about to answer. His arms outstretched in front of him, almost like a wrapped mummy reaching out for you, “Please (L/n)-san!”
You chuckled, “Yeah, maybe...”
“Wait, can we backtrack?” Suga made his voice heard, “Why did you hide that away from us?”
You shrugged your shoulders, “Well, your team seem so completed and I didn’t want to join whilst I just transferred here - I didn’t want to intrude at all.”
“You wouldn’t!” Noya says, jumping towards you, you barely flinched at a short teenager launching himself towards you, “We need you on the team, the more the merrier - right guys!”
“I believe it’s Daichi’s decision whether if he can join or not,” Asahi spoke up, his hand raised up slightly.
The team looked at the captain, even the coach didn’t want to interrupt this decision making. Ukai had no objections in you joining, you would be a great asset and hoping you could teach Hinata how to receive. Daichi relaxes his shoulders and smiles towards you.
“Come join us, you can start in this practice.”
You nodded as they tell you to head up on the changing room. You came down to join them in practice, it seems like you were having a blast - especially saving Kageyama’s monstrous serve that only you seem to save consistently. It came to a point that everyone was just watching the two of you.
The team had noticed that unbreakable focus you had, it was filling the room - it was challenging Kageyama’s aura. The boys watched from the side lines as Yachi looked like she was about to pass out - concerning herself about your arms. 
“Is that all you have Kags?” You asked teasingly, slowly bending down with a tinge of smug in your eyes.
“No,” Kageyama smirks as he delivers you another jump serve, to the back right corner.
But, like everyone, you were too quick for their eyes as you dive to save the killed serve and bring it back to Kageyama’s side of the court. The ball bounced in the silent gym as you face Kageyama. It seems like Kageyama was having a great time if anyone watches in - this could seem torturous.
“Alright, we’ll call it a night before we break (L/n)’s arms.”
“That’s so cool!” Hinata excitedly shouted, running up to you to talk about your skills whilst your senpai, Noya roughly pats you on the back.
“You’re freaking cool.”
You smiled, biting your smile back. When you really get into volleyball your shy demeanour fades away, you completely change that it almost scares the team on how focus you become. 
“It’s terrifying that you and Kageyama are only in first years, but you guys are scary - glad we’re on a team with you,” Suga says, roughly patting you on the shoulder.
“We’ll get you your uniform and jacket next week, we just got to get your measurements,” Daichi says, standing behind Suga, zipping up his jacket.
You nodded, as everyone started to file out the changing room with Tanaka locking up as Kiyoko waving them down, the majority gave her heart eyes as Yachi came behind her timidly.
“I knew I recognised you from somewhere!” Kiyoko blushes, it was so unlike her for her to exclaimed as you widen your eyes, she holds up a magazine - looks out of date, “Top three libero?”
You chuckled nervously as eyes snapped towards you, “Yeah...? I plan to go to Japan Youth in December, but I didn’t want to join the team because you guys-”
“You’re so FUCKING cool!” Noya shouted, jumping so high as you laugh, “You have to teach me more stuff!”
“Can you teach me! Please (L/n)-san!” Hinata asked, jumping behind Kageyama to get seen. 
“He definitely needs it,” Tsukishima mumbles as Yamaguchi snorts. 
“Come on, pork buns on me, we can listen to you talk about it,” Daichi spoke warmly as you smiled.
Noya standing by your side with Hinata coming to the other side, the two boys excited to know more about you - somewhat, you feel like you have no trouble in fitting this group.

Golden Touches
Summary: Everyone is born with marks that turn gold when your soulmate touches you. How could meeting someone for the first time turn into meeting your soulmate? (F!Reader x Tsukishima Kei)
Warnings: none!
Word Count: 1,558
A/N: sorry for getting this out late! I don’t think this is my best work as it’s the first thing I ever wrote for Haikyuu but here it is!
My Masterlist
Posted: March 26 2020, 6:15 PM EST
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Pic that inspired this)
Everyone was painted with colors. Each individual was their own canvas that had splotches of paint splattered across their skin that almost looked random had you not known what they meant. That’s how your parents explained it to you, at least. When you’re born your marks are black which are how most people’s are, but when a specific person touches them they turn gold; this specific person being your soulmate. The marks were where the hands of your soulmate would touch you for the first time. The most common mark people had was small streaks on their hands or arms where their soulmates hand would graze their skin temporarily, some had their palm painted black along with the shadow of fingers on the back of their hand, and some even had a hand print or knuckles painted on their cheek where they’d inevitably be hit. Everyone’s was unique to them, and they each held their own future story.
You stated at your marks everyday, always wondering if today would be the day they’d go from black splotches to lovely sparkles. Your marks were much less generic than most, a large handprint angled with the tips of the fingers towards your shoulder splayed across the front corner of the base of your neck, your collarbone, and the top of your chest. It was rather unusual and the way it was positioned made it seem like they’d be behind you which confused you even more. You were happy to have a unique mark as it made the moment you’d meet them feel more special, but it constantly left you wondering about the conditions of when you’d meet, what situation you’d be in where that would be the first place someone would touch you.
It was a rather warm day as it was nearing summer so you’d left the top buttons of your uniform unbuttoned and let your jacket slip off of your shoulders and hang loosely around your elbows. Your eyes lazily skimmed over the crowds of your classmates, jealously spiking in you every time you saw someone with gold splashed across their skin instead of black. Very few people met their soulmates in high school and you envied those that were so lucky as to do so.
“Y/n!” You look up and find Yachi waving a hand in front of your face. “Can you come with me to the volleyball practice after school?”
“Hm? Why?”
“So we can work on the project after school,” She reminded you and you inwardly cringe at the mention of it, “We still have to finish it before tomorrow.”
“Sure, I’ll be there.” You answer, watching as a wide smile crosses the blondes face.
“Great, see you there!” She waves before heading down the stairs and getting lost in the crowd.
A heavy sigh leaves you as you pull out your phone and put in your earbuds, clicking on your playlist and letting the noise of your favorite song fill your ears. You did your best to ignore the stares of others as you made your way to the cafeteria, though you always knew they were there. You’d gotten used to being stared at by people who were examining your soulmate mark but it never made it any less annoying. You’d had some of these “admirers” come up from behind you and not so graciously lay their hand on your chest trying to match up to your mark, always landing a slap to the face after they did so. You didn’t know how many times you’d had to tell them off that it couldn’t be justified just by what they claimed was curiosity but it never changed anything.
“Hey Y/n, what’s up?” Hinata asks with a small wave.
“Hi Hinata, Kageyama.” You greet, slowing your pace for a moment so they can catch up to you. “I’m gonna be at your practice today.”
“Why?”
“Yachi and I have a project,” You reply “what, do you not want me there or something?”
“What? No!” Kageyama exclaims making you and Hinata laugh.
“Calm down I was joking.”
The three of you continue to poke fun at each other all the way to the cafeteria, especially you and Hinata making Kageyama mad as it was easy to do so with the quick tempered setter.
“Do you two ever stop fighting?” Another voice says as they approach your table. You turn around and find two boys, one a very tall blond with glasses and an annoyed look on his face and the other a more timid looking boy with green hair and freckles.
“Who’s that?” You ask your friends as the new boys sit down.
“This is Tsukishima and Yamaguchi.” Hinata says, “They’re on the volleyball team.”
“Hi!” Yamaguchi greets with a welcoming smile, “nice to meet you.”
“You too.” You reply with similar smile.
The other boy, Tsukishima, doesn’t say anything, only glances at you before looking back at his food. He seems like to be the quiet type, his silent judging stare would probably warn off anyone else but you found it amusing. Your eyes scanned them for their soulmate marks, finding them after a few moments. Yamaguchis was mostly covered by the sleeve of his shirt but you could slightly make out the edge of a black mark around his wrist and on the back of Tsukishimas hand you could see a smaller black hand print, the mark going around the side of his hand so the thumb was on his palm.
“Do you make a habit of staring?” The blonde asks, making you look up from his hand as he pulls it away, hiding it out of sight under the table.
“Curiosity’s natural.” You shrug in response, smirking when his expression flashes to shock before he covers it with slight disgust. He clicks his tongue, his eyes temporarily flashing down to look at your mark before he looks back to his food.
After lunch your evening classes dragged by, none of your teachers words sticking to your brain as you watched the clocks hands slowly tick by. Finally after what felt like hours the last bell rang and let you out of your final class, filing into the stream of students exiting the school. As everyone else left you stopped at your locker, leaving your books inside before heading towards the gym where volleyball practice was held. You stared down at your phone as you walked so you couldn’t see anything else around you, the world around you practically lost to your senses.
“Watch out!” A voice yells, forcing you to look up and see a volleyball flying towards you.
You freeze up as the ball cuts through the air, your feet planted in the ground though you knew you should move out of the path of the object. You’re suddenly yanked to the side by someone who was behind you, your phone being knocked out of your hand and to the ground by the sudden movement. Their hand was firm on the front of your body as their arm was crossing your body having pulled you into themselves just as the ball slams into where you were standing seconds before. Your hand flies up to grip theirs, your heart pounding at the close encounter.
The person behind you quickly retracts their arm making you turn around, surprise taking on your expression as you see who’d saved you.
“How could you be so stupid as to not move out of the way of the ball flying at your face?” Tsukishima asks with a scoff, leaning down to pick up your phone. You were about to snap back at him, a rebuttal on the tip of your tongue though it’s quickly lost when you see the once black hand that was on his had turned gold.
“Are you just gonna stare at me again?” He scoffs as he reaches out to hand you your phone, his eyes widening when he sees a flash of gold on your chest.
Almost simultaneously you look down at yourself and he looks at his hand before you look back at each other’s marks and finally at each other.
“No fucking way.” You whisper to yourself, seeing the shocked look in his eyes.
It’s dead silent between the two of you for what feels like a lifetime, his hand still holding out your phone as you both try to figure out something to say. How could he be your soulmate when you’d only met this morning? Had the universe somehow made a mistake?
Tsukishimas eyes bare into your from behind his glasses as for once he finds himself at a loss for words, trying to piece together how this was his soulmate. He doesn’t know you. There was nothing forcing him to talk to you or start a relationship solely based off of the marks. Yet,
Yet there was something pulling you towards him. Something in you was drawing closer to him, taking your hand and dragging you along. There was some part of him that had sparked something in you, and whether it was just the surprise of your soulmate marks or it was a genuine feeling, you found yourself giving into it, a smile crossing your face.
“Tsukishima, right?”
“Uh, yeah.” He responds, still processing what had happened, “You’re the weirdo duos friend.”
“It’s Y/n. We’re...”
“Soulmates.”
You both smile.
“Soulmates.”
