a/n: this was supposed to be a longer piece, but i got really bad writer’s block half-way through and was basically writing this prompt in broken pieces that i wasn’t able to connect together. so i present to you, a section from what i’ve written so far and will leave it at that. there may be a time where i may revisit the original draft and complete it as a prologue to this piece.

iwaizumi watched at a distance as you flounced around barefoot, childish laughter drowned out by the waves that crashed at your feet and chased you up the shoreline.

“hajime!”

he watched with adoring eyes as you grinned brilliantly in his direction, tucking your wind-tousled hair behind your ears as a futile attempt at taming your unruly locks. you called for his attention once more followed by a short sentence that was drowned out by the howling wind. it was loud outside; the sounds of cawing seagulls, crashing waves, and cacophonous chatter made it hard for him to hear what you had just shouted. it wasn’t until you extended your hand out towards him that he finally pulled his hands out of the pockets of his board shorts and made his way towards you.

iwaizumi licked his lips. the closer he treaded through the heavy beach sand towards you, the more it felt like quicksand instead. the weight was heavy on his feet, and he felt like he was going to sink with each step he took; it felt like he was never going to reach you. his eyes searched your warm ones in a desperate attempt at holding onto what was standing before him.

"hey..." he began uneasily, as he finally made his way to stand in front of you. "you know i'll be back." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small white daisy before tucking it behind your ear with trembling fingers.

you gave him a small smile, but it didn't reach your eyes. you reached out and gently held his hands in yours, sweeping your thumb across his knuckles just like you did during your first encounter with him. it was comforting, and it was here that iwaizumi realized you were trying your best to comfort him despite facing your own unruly emotions that blazed within you. he locked his eyes with yours and saw sadness mixed with flecks of heartbreak. however, he also saw a strong sense of love, adoration, and strength in them.

"you'll do wonders back in japan," you whispered. your hands trailed up his arms and rested on the nape of his neck, gently drawing his head down to touch his forehead with yours. iwaizumi closed his eyes and breathed in your scent, hoping the dainty floral perfume you always wore will stay with him even after he boards his flight and leaves for his home country --- after he leaves you. 

"keep your head up high, hajime. stay curious and passionate."

"i'll be back," he began again, his voice breaking at the end. you cut him off by pulling away. he opens his eyes and the view in front of him destroys him. you're staring back at him with an unwavering gaze and tears in your eyes that you're trying so hard to suppress. 

"are you trying to convince me or yourself?" you ask with a watery smile. it might sound like a bitter question to ask, but iwaizumi knew that you knew he needed to hear it. he knew that his time here in california was not forever, and you both knew that there had always been an expiration date to your relationship the second he delicately kissed you two years ago.

"c'mon," you say after no one says anything for a couple of minutes. you offer your hand to him in what he realizes will be the last time ever. "you've got a plane to catch." 

"iwaizumi!" 

a grin blooms on his face as he is greeted by claps on his back courtesy of his old teammates who came to pick him up from the airport.

"iwa-chan, you look god-awful," a haughty voice hums. 

"that's what 11 hours of sitting in a tiny seat does to you," he mumbles. "and what the fuck are you doing back in japan, oikawa?" iwaizumi ducks to avoid the person in name from ruffling his already unruly hair.

"don't be rude, iwa-chan. it's only fitting for me to welcome my best friend back to japan after he's been gone for two years!"

"you're one to talk, oikawa. just fucking taking off and jetting off to argentina right after our graduation ceremony. what's up with that?" hanamaki bumps shoulder with his ex-captain while matsukawa roars in laughter.

the four link arms around one another's shoulder, and just like that, iwaizumi's fatigue lifts from his shoulders. he finds himself laughing and joking alongside his friends, slurping hearty ramen noodles, and spiking balls past blocks and good-natured banter.

"oh, iwa-chan, something fell out of your pocket." the chestnut haired boy reached down and picked up a limp daisy that iwaizumi had haphazardly pocketed right before he boarded his flight the day before.

"did you just smuggle a flower from america?" matsukawa jokingly asks.

iwaizumi's eyes widen as he moves to hastily snatch the delicate bud away. a crumpled petal flutters to the ground.

"it's not like that," iwaizumi mutters. "just a memento from california."

"wanna head to the bar? it's happy hour and yakitori is half off right now."

"all you've been doing is drinking lately. what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"man, my job has been so hard lately that all i wanna do is drown my sorrows away in good beer. and what if i want to go for the yakitori and not the beer?"

"must be hard being a funeral home employee."

"want a job? i'll get ya one."

"shut it, matsukawa."

"oi! you guys! come on!" matsukawa and hanamaki wave the two childhood friends over.

"ah, yeah... coming!" iwaizumi takes one last look at the small flower before letting it slip through his fingers and running to catch up.

oikawa stares after his three friends, trying his hardest to ignore the wistful gaze he just witnessed. 

"move it, shittykawa, or you're picking up the tab!" iwaizumi yells, beaming a shit-eating grin. oikawa hums in response, but a small frown adorns his face. the argentinian citizen bends down and picks up the small flower. he twirls the stem once in fingers before pocketing it.

“just a memento from california, huh, iwa-chan? how mean.”

for HC post: Harry potter, aph norway, legolas?, (from haikyuu) hinata, nishinoya,suga, bokuto, oikawa, yamaguchi (hopefully you don't mind so many ahhhh )

:OOO dw i don’t mind!!! i’m putting them under a cut to save my poor followers’ dashes tho 

harry 

A - when he finds out how easy it is for him to get wizarding clothes that are actually fitted for him and sit right on his body, as opposed to dudley’s leftover clothes, he never wants to go back and hermione helps him get all kinds of nice, casual clothes, both muggle clothes and robes 

B - no matter how much harry loves the wizarding world and how different it is from his old life, harry and hermione still smuggle regular ballpoint pens into hogwarts because they can’t always be arsed to go buy more quills and inkwells just to finish their homework on time 

C - it takes harry forever to actually nail apparating, primarily because he just has so many shitty memories and experiences with apparating and portkeys and floo powder and all sorts of magical non-broom transport 

D - harry tries working as an auror for a while, but eventually decides to start a career as dada teacher at hogwarts, to the relief of all the people in his life tired of him still getting into life-threatening situations on a regular basis 

aph norway 

A - he owns like, eight different coffee machines. even though he primarily drinks black coffee. you never know what your next houseguest might want so he has Everything 

B - he also has two drawers full of ties, because the other nordics keep giving him ties for birthdays and christmas etc. a lot of them are joke gifts and he has at least twelve different christmas ties that play songs and/or light up 

C - he genuinely tries to keep up with all the new icelandic words for technology stuff and trends and all that stuff?? partly because it’s interesting, and partly because he feels like he’ll fall behind and lose touch with iceland if he doesn’t, like if he doesn’t pay attention icelandic will just stop sounding familiar 

D - he knows every single norwegian dialect. even the dumb made-up ones and the ones that hardly sound norwegian at all. he also speaks fluent swedish and danish, but refuses to speak either in the presence of sweden or denmark, 100% because they want him to. (he might switch over to a random obscure norwegian dialect just to mess with them, though) 

legolas 

A - legolas can use swords, but he’s fully aware he’s not nearly as impressive with a sword as with a bow or a knife or a pair of daggers, and is juuust petty enough that he’ll only use a sword if he really has to 

B - he’s a horrible, horrible actor. too emotional and takes all the fake arguing personally. breaks character and storms out in a huff. terrible at lying and pretending unless it’s to temporarily get a playful rise out of someone, and even then he’d prefer being honest and smug about it 

C - will stubbornly pretend he’s not hurt until he’s literally falling over from the pain, absolute shit at laying down and letting people take care of him if he can help it 

D - you know the “how to talk to short people” graphic??? he exhausts every possible Wrong option at every opportunity and every dwarf in middle earth has him on their personal shit list because of it. with halflings he just kinda crouches all the way down like he’s about to pet a cat and they just kinda endure it at this point because fuck it at least this way they get to look non-hobbits in the eye while talking for once 

hinata shoyo 

A - hinata will train and practice with like, absolutely anyone. some middle school kids sees him practicing and asks to join? hell yeah. old grandpa wants to throw for the kid a few times to feel young again? hit it gramps! some asshole in class lobs a ball of paper at him from across the room? hinata’s already spiking it and hollering a cheery “thanks” 

B - even though he’s plenty capable of jumping super high himself, he’ll never really get tired of riding on someone else’s shoulders. he likes the view and he’d like to enjoy it for longer than a split second sometimes, thank you very much 

C - occasionally, he trains and practices until his hands and feet are bleeding. sometimes he shows up with bandaids and sports tape around his ankles or knuckles and while it’d be easy to make jokes about hinata getting into fights with kageyama or the other teams, all the third years + tanaka are very aware of what’s happening and insist that hinata has them on speedcall, just in case something really horrible happens while hinata’s practicing alone late at night again 

D - hinata does parkour and no one gets to tell me otherwise. it’s just facts 

nishinoya 

A - on the team, his appetite is only second to hinata’s. no one has a clue where all that food goes. asahi is constantly terrified of their power level 

B - noya and hinata have an act where they balance on each other inside a massive trenchcoat they borrow from the drama club, which they use during training camps and stuff to entertain the other players - usually by imitating all the tallest people present, and some that aren’t there. their ushiwaka’s a crowd favourite, and whenever seijou is present for the act, oikawa immediately requests they do him (followed by iwa who usually follows up with “yeah and then do oikawa next” to zero protest from anyone but oikawa) 

C - man i don’t have a lot of sad headcanons for noya??? but: part of him kind of wishes hinata would consider taking over as libero. not because he’s short or because he’s fast, all those things help but ultimately he sees a vast potential in hinata that he thinks would make for a great libero if hinata wanted to give it a try. he respects that hinata wants to be a good middle blocker and even an ace, and thinks it’s a super cool and ambitious goal that hinata might actually achieve, but hinata understands what being a libero truly means at the core, probably moreso than anyone else in karasuno, and noya’s sad to see that possibility already gone 

D - noya is suuuper affectionate when people let him be. he’ll happily give out hugs and smooch cheeks and play with people’s hair and lay on their laps like a cat in the sun, as long as he’s certain the other person is comfortable with it 

suga 

A - suga does bunny ears on people in photos like, all the time. most pictures with suga standing next to someone will have to be retaken 

B - suga has a surprisingly strong competitive streak, and loves challenges set by his kohais. he wins most of them, sometimes just because he’d rather push himself to the limit and be pleasantly smug about “still got it” than have his juniors laugh at him and calling him old 

C - you’d think asahi would be the one that gets sick the most often and that suga’s the team mom who always has to take care of all the sick team members, but suga’s usually the first to catch anything that’s going around, and the flu just knocks him completely out for a full week. he kinda hates it, especially missing training and matches and having people worry about him and not being able to rely on him for being there for an important match because he could well be sick for it, but he doesn’t like talking about it, so he just grumbles and lets the others help so he can get back on his feet, only to huff at them about how they shouldn’t put themselves at risk of catching it from him. daichi fondly tells him to shut up and then sneezes. suga yells even louder 

D - suga used to be an avid reader, but hasn’t had much time to sit down with books since he started doing volleyball, so he listens to a lot of audiobooks when he can 

bokuto 

A - bokuto is 100% a dog person, he’s especially great with big dog breeds but he loves them all and sometimes volunteers at kennels when he has extra time 

B - the fukurodani drama club has been trying to recruit bokuto for years, and go to all their volleyball matches just bc bokuto’s dramatic everything is 1) entertaining and 2) gives them a lot of inspiration for their own activities and roles. bokuto’s heart is with the ball but he still shows up to just about all of the drama club’s shows in return, clapping and cheering loudly (which helps with the drama club members’ nerves because none of them are gonna look sillier than bokuto even if they trip up) 

C - bokuto has a heart condition, and everyone on the fukurodani team is aware of it, but he persistently doesn’t talk about it and none of them ever bring it up, unless something really, really serious happens. akaashi nearly falls over himself whenever it looks like something’s wrong with bokuto but he usually manages to keep his cool 

D - bokuto sings in the shower, especially communal showers, loudly and badly. he’s actually much better at singing when he wants to but where’s the fun in that when he can joke around instead (also if the drama club finds out he’s actually good at singing they’ll never let go) 

oikawa 

A - oikawa is the undisputed king of movie nerds at aoba johsai, but he’s kind of a snob about it, with thorough lists of what movies he thinks are Good and which ones he’ll grimace at you at for even acknowledging out loud 

B - oikawa just really really cannot swim. he’s so bad at it, it’s barely even funny. he can sort of dog paddle, but that’s it. everyone else at seijoh swims circles around him. 

C - he’s a massive hypocrite when it comes to food and nutrition, and pays fairly close attention to his team to make sure they eat as much as they need and the right kinds of foods, while simultaneously eating like, one (1) banana for breakfast because he didn’t take the time to prepare anything the night before and was in a rush. fortunately iwaizumi gets on his case about it constantly and usually packs extra food to make sure tohru eats, but he has collapsed mid-practice at least once because he just straight up forgot to eat properly for two days straight 

D - he has like, an entire wall in his room dedicated to his team and his family and the people he gives a shit about. dumb pictures, newspaper cutouts, heart-shaped post-it notes with quotes, little neatly scrawled notes about their favourite foods and how they like their tosses and specific weaknesses of the various other teams, all that junk. it’s  kind of a huge mess but he loves looking at it 

yamaguchi 

A - yamaguchi is such an all-over nerd that he sometimes forgets he plays an actual sport. he shows up to every practice and trains his jump-float serve all the time and yet he somehow keeps catching himself thinking jocks are the furthest thing from him and tsukki 

B - yamaguchi has, hands down, the neatest handwriting of the whole karasuno team. even neater than kiyoko, yachi, or tsukki, which is incredibly impressive. he doesn’t even realize it. 

C - he’s great at doing chores and household stuff, but that’s mainly because he’s always had to do these things and learnt at a very young age. as a result, he feels constantly responsible for everything, including the happiness of people around him and making sure everything is as good as it can be, which is hard sometimes. especially with tsukishima, who doesn’t always communicate properly whether something’s wrong or if everything’s okay or if he needs anything, so yamaguchi often feels like he’s not doing enough 

D - yachi and yamaguchi chat a lot when they have the time, so they both bring powerbanks and phone chargers everywhere because their line apps never get any rest. sometimes yamaguchi accidentally sends something to tsukki instead of yachi and tsukishima’s response is always some variation on “what the hell are you guys even talking about, how is this possibly related to anything” and yamaguchi just “oh whoops sorry, it makes sense in context okay”. tsukishima genuinely wonders if they just send him weird pictures and shit just to mess with him. sometimes he’s actually right
