Not the End | Kuroo Tetsuro

Pairing: Kuroo x Reader (female)

Genre: heart warming fluff tehe

Author’s Note: Literally one of my most favorite things I have ever written so I really hope you guys like it too~!! 🥺🥰🥰time to embrace canon kuroo and make more fluff, even if it means breaking a 4th wall or 5th wall- dedicated to haikyuu, thank you for everything

He knocked repeatedly on the door as clouds casted by in the sky, blocking out the sweltering summer sun

He wore a white oversized t-shirt with the periodic table on it and black jeans

“Where is she?” He thought to himself as he spammed your doorbell, hearing the chime echo inside yet there was no movement to be seen

He glanced at his watch seeing the time

He fortunately came early but if you didn’t come out now, the window of extra time would be shutting

He was growing just the tiniest bit antsy since he had been dreaming about this date for so long and now that it was summer and volleyball was over, he had the time

Tickets were hard to get for these museums he had planned and he had a whole day planned down to every hour

It was early in summer so it was perfect, not too scorching hot

He couldn’t wait anymore and pulled out your spare key from your flowerpot, putting it back neatly as if it was never touched

“Y/N?” He called, his strong voice echoing into what seemed like an empty house

He slipped out of his shoes and made his way upstairs, almost always finding you there if you never answered the door, his calls, or anything

Your bedroom was like your sanctum having all that you needed- an air con fan, tv, surround sound, and most importantly, your bed that you had all to yourself

approaching your bedroom, the door cracked open, he could hear the faintest sound of music playing

“Oya?” He knocked on your bedroom door as he pushed it open, relieved to find you

But he didn’t know how to feel seeing you curled up wearing his stolen hoodie, still in bed when you knew about the time for today’s events

“Hey, what’s up? We have to get to the station-“ he paused when he saw you look up to him, uncurling your face from your pillow

Your eyes were red and cheeks tear stained, matching your pillow cover that you hugged

“K-Kuroo...” you sobbed, inching yourself in your little ball form toward him as he sat on the edge of your bed, the mattress dipping beneath his weight

“W-what is it?” He was surprised as you laid your head on his lap

His mind went frantic as he went through your messages in his head, trying to remember if it was a certain day he missed- it wasn’t anyone that he knew of’s birthday, not an anniversary date or anything

Why were you so heartbroken?

Your eyes glistened from the sunlight in the room as you teared up once again, little wet drops forming on his jeans

“R-remember that manga and anime I was watching?” You sniffled as you sat up, your pillow in your lap and your fingers playing with the hem of it. “The volleyball one?”

“Yeah, did a character die or something?” He tried to make light of the situation and it worked, just the slightest but your emotions were getting the best of you

“No, but the last chapter of the manga came out…” tears dripped off your chin as you swallowed a hardened lump in your throat, the words aching as you spoke

listening carefully, he could hear you were listening to a slowed down version of one of the opening themes- he only knew this because of how many times you would put on the themes while riding in the car

but this was the slowed down version, or as you called it the “moonlight version,” and it was setting the mood for you, making you more sad

Kuroo remembered the day back in junior high/ end of grade school when you started following this manga about volleyball

“You need to stop listening to this, it’s just making you sadder,” he laughed awkwardly, pausing the song that was playing on loop. he knew this volleyball anime/manga meant the world to you, but not like this

Your eyes lit up when you read or talked about it to him and he asked you why not play for the girls’ team but you settled on being the manager for Nekoma instead, wanting to cheer them on and also being with kuroo and kenma and all your other close friends on the team

It made him feel like you loved the show and manga more than him sometimes and it kinda hurt since they were fictional characters and he was your boyfriend, a real life actual volleyball player

“All the characters got their story, they grew above and beyond, and the main character was finally able to make it to the world stage with his partner from the high school team and- “ your voice cracked as you spoke, the wound reopening, fresh in your chest as everything you read, everything you watched, all the glorious moments came rushing through your mind

Everything you fell in love with for the past eight years came rushing back and you loved it all so much, it made you so warm but it also hurt thinking about how there wouldn’t be any more to it

You wanted to curl into a hole and rewatch and reread everything as much as you could

No more chapters, most likely no more official arts- all you had left was the animated show that would be continuing and finishing in a couple months

“Kuroo, I don’t want it to end,” you sobbed, your hair falling, hiding your face

He didn’t miss how your knuckles turned white as you gripping your pillow, only able to imagine the heartache you were feeling

he knew very well how much this all meant to you, all the rants and extensive conversations you had with him, begging him to watch the show- especially because of a bed headed character that was just like him

you reminded him so much of kenma- you talked, read, and watched everything about this story like kenma when he got a new game or was watching hinata play volleyball

You want to see more, hear more of the voice actors, the characters growing. You want to be beside all of them and see their story to the very end

All the antics between the characters that made you break into a smile or fits of giggles, all the cheers made for the different teams in your manga/anime- all were so addicting

“Hey, shhh,” he pulled you gently into his embrace, one hand holding the back of your head, the other rubbing down your back. “I know you don’t but all good things must come to an end, right?”

He glanced at his watch just the slightest bit, seeing the time, relieved to know he still had enough

“Look on the bright side; you were able to read and watch it while it was still being made, you got to anticipate the next chapter and episode, seeing all the characters develop and become great people who’ve had such a great impact on your life.”

He pulled you back and wiped your tears away on your cheek

“This may be the end of the story, but it’s not the end for you; everything will live on inside of you, right?” He held your face in his hands, making sure his words got to you

“It won’t be the end of your life, or any of your favorite characters’. The story you were presented with came to an end but their lives are still going, just like yours.”

You buried yourself into his arms, muffling your cries into his neck as he chuckled, holding you

“Come on, get dressed and I’ll make sure all this sadness you’re feeling will go away. I’ll be the wind that’ll shift the storm cloud brewing above your head,” he stood up, still holding you and setting your feet on the ground

“I won’t let you be sad, not on my watch, chibi-chan,” he looked down to you with a smile as he pat your head. “Your body won’t even realize L-trytophan’s being converted into L-5OH-trytophan, converting serotonin by an aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase.”

The gawk you had made him let out his hyena laugh, just hurting his pride ever so slightly that he had made one of the smoothest lines in love-history and you didn’t even swoon

“I’m gonna make happy chemical in your body make your heart go doki doki,” he put simply to which you nodded, breaking in to a laugh, calling him a nerd under your breath as you changed

But he was your nerd, and he was right

No matter where you were in life, you got to have this special manga and story in your life and experience it first-hand whereas others were missing it

Everyone lives on, even if you can’t see them

Thank you, Furudate, for bringing Haikyuu into this world <3

HeliosR - Keith Max Card story “Worried old man Keith”

Translation of Keith Max’s 3* “The Night Pool Party” card story from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’.

Little Faith: I dun wannaaaaaa~! I wanna play games~~

Faith: So annoying…. Don’t go around throwing a tantrum now….

Junior: Ain’t it fine, Shitty DJ. We got games here anyway, so he’ll be quiet if we let him play, yeah?

Faith: Haah? You can’t just easily let a spoiled kid like this do what he wa--

Little Faith: There’s games!?

Junior: Hell yeah★ It’s not one of ‘em new ones but… I’ll go get it

Faith: Wha- ….Ochibi-chan! Wait a sec!

Little Faith: Uwaah, so fun...♪

Keith: Geez, all of ya are running around and making a ruckus. Makes you wonder who’s the brat here…

Little Faith: ……...

Keith: ….Mh?

Little Faith: !

Keith: (...Did he, just blatantly look away?)

Jack: “It seems that he got intimidated by seeing Keith. Please look a bit more cheerful.”

Jacqueline: “A happy smile is important-nano! Especially in front of a tiny child, if you don’t smile it’s no good!”

Keith: (Uum, uuhuuh…)

Keith: Is...is there anything ya wanna drink~? Ah, just so you know, can’t give ya any alcohol okay~?

Little Faith: …….

Keith: There’s no need to be afraid of this ol’ man here~~? Look…. happy happy smile~♪

Little Faith: ………..

Keith: (Wha- He ran away!?)

Keith: (I was all smiley to him and yet it had the opposite effect….!)

Keith: (Actually, the hell’s up with “ol’ man”!? Never thought something like that would come outta my own mouth…)

Junior: Ooooi, Chibi DJ! I got that game here♪

Little Faith: !!

Faith: Sigh…. Ochibi-chan will have to act if he starts acting selfishly or throwing tantrums, because I don’t know what to do anymore at this point

Faith: Eh, Keith? What are you looking so defeated for?

Keith: Huuh~? I ain’t though~?

Keith: I’mma, head off to the prof’s lab for a bit. Wanna ask ‘bout that machine… you guys behave and play nicely, got it

Faith: …..?

Keith: Oooi, prof. I’m coming i-

Nova: Nuhuuuuuuh~! I dun’ wanna, I dun’ wanna take a bweak~~!

Jack: You must! I beg of you to take a break and quietly listen to what I have to say

Nova: NoooOOooOOooo~!!!!!!!

Keith: Wh-what the….?

Nova: Ah man~ I showed you something embarrassing. Sorry, Keith-kun

Keith: Nah… My bad for walking in when you’re this busy

Keith: Came to see how the machine reparations and investigation is going but… Already got most of it, so I’ll just go back

Jack: No need to. You may take it easy here, Keith

Jack: Nova finally took a break thanks to you coming here. Please, have some coffee together.

Keith: …….

Nova: ----I see~ So, you ended up calling that boy “Little Faith”-kun

Nova: That’s a pretty good name for him. Although I prefer Jack’s “Pocket-sized Faith”-kun more~♪

Keith: Still, taking care of some kid is seriously hard. I knew what it was gonna be like so I didn’t want to take ‘em in...

Keith: It's a hundred times more of a pain in the ass than I thought to take care of him, to the point of it being absurdly tiring….

Nova: Ahaha, got your hands full, eh~

Keith: Well, the other’s are good with that, I just sit by and do nothing

Keith: That lil’ Faith’s still scared just by seeing me though...

Nova: Oh no, that hasn’t changed?

Keith: ….I did my best and tried to smile like Jack and all told me to, yeah?

Keith: But it didn’t work out at all, if anything he ended up running away

Nova: Uwah…. That must’ve been heart-breaking….

Nova: It was suuuuuuuch a big shock for me I had hurt Marion’s feelings and he ignored me when he was little!

Nova: I had panicked because I didn’t understand why, and then begged Victor to give me advice...

Jack: What had Victor said?

Nova: For the most part it was advice containing information he got based on general theories, psychology and the like.

Nova: In the end, after trying various things, Marion came to me and apologized, saying “Sorry for ignoring you”...

Nova: We hugged each other reaaaal tightly, and both burst out in tears…. Fufu, it’s still nice to think of♪

Keith: Naw well, that’s only something you and Marion could do

Jack: No, perhaps that might be wrong

Keith & Nova: Huh?

Jack: Despite Nova’s appearance he is easily loved by children. With the exception of Marion, there’s also the children of his acquaintances and those in town that are quick to get along with him, isn’t it so?

Nova: Aah, now that you mention it, that might be it? I did notice I was being treated as a friend rather than an adult

Nova: Like I’m poked fun at and taken care of…. even though I’m an old man who’s age is showing~?

Keith: Dunno ‘bout that… That tantrum from earlier wasn’t all too different from Little Faith’s

Jack: Keith, how about trying it out too?

Keith: ...Eeh?

Jack: Your behaviour might be too “adult”-like

Jack: Why don’t you try to deceive him by following Nova’s example?

Keith: Nah, naw, there’s no need to…

---The next morning

Little Faith: Leonard-oniichan! I finished washing my face and brushing my teeth!

Junior: Ooh, how good of you. Then, guess we’ll continue playing that game

Little Faith: Yaay♪

Keith: ……….

Faith: Haah, games in the morning again….? Ochibi-chan’s totally way too soft with him

Faith: Keith, bathroom’s open. Did you wash yourself yet?

Keith: ……..

Faith: Keith? Are you listening?

Keith: NoOOooOoO~! I dun’ wanna, I dun wanna wash my fwace~~~!!

Faith & Junior: !!!!???

Keith: ……………

Junior: Are… are you okay, Keith?

Keith: ….Hm?

Faith: Just how much did you have to drink this early in the morning? This is seriously scary, I’ll go get Dino…

Keith: !? Wait that’s not-, I ain’t dru-

Junior: Chibi DJ, don’t look at this. Ignore it, ignore all of it.

Little Faith: Yeah, okay….

Keith: Why!!!???

Keith: Why did it turn out like thiiiiiiiis-!?

Ode to Glitter

➳ Pairing: Kuroo Tetsurou x Fem!Reader ft. Kenma Kozume

➳ Synopsis:

“Why the rush, Chibi-chan?”

First, a glitter mess in your locker, with a stupid confession note. Second, a brief, yet soul-sucking conversation with the first year giant. Now, you had to talk to the Kuroo Tetsurou. You snarled. Why was the universe against you today?

“Not in the mood.” you muttered as you side-stepped, trying to walk around him. But, he only moved in front of you, leaning an arm against the nearby wall. Students looked at you oddly, whispering to their friends nearby. A few girls giggled as they saw Kuroo, an infuriating smirk plastered on his face. Some girls even glared at you, as if you wanted to talk to him.

“Really?” he wiggled his eyebrows, looking down at you, “I could change that.”

➳ Warning: Slight language, mentions of bullying, SLIGHT ANGST?

➳ Word Count: 3.7K

A/N:

I was supposed to do a Daddy Universe fic, but here we are. I have no clue where this idea came from but, nerd Kuroo just hits different???? @boosyboo9206 Hope you like bb! And @lizbotw you’re bed time story madam. I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY!!!!! <3

You stared skeptically at the small note in your locker. You shut the metal door, waiting a few seconds before opening it again. But, it was still there, glitter and all. You cringed, thinking about the effort and time it would take to clean it. You closed the locker a second time, looking at the locker number. 284. Yes, this was your locker. Had the person put it in the wrong one? You hesitatingly picked up the note, by the corners. You held it away from your face, as glitter fell onto your shoes. You groaned. Oh how you hated glitter. You looked at the paper, half filled with purple glitter, and half decorated in an array of heart stickers.

You grimaced at the sight. You didn’t know what to feel. Hopeful? Of what. Grateful? Why? No. You really didn’t know what to feel, other than the underlying disgust of glitter. You chucked it back in your locker, not even bothering to open it. It wouldn’t be worth seeing the false words written. In the best case, it was put in her locker by accident. In the worst case, someone had dared them to give her a confession. Wouldn’t be the first time.

“Is that a confession, Y/N-senpai?“ You hid a small groan as you turned around looking up at your very tall junior.

“Lev.“ you deadpanned.

“Why do you have a confession?“

You rolled your eyes. You knew that he was blunt, saying whatever came to his mind. But, you just couldn’t help wishing be had a mute button.

“What are you doing on this side, don’t you have practice?“

He shrugged, placing his hands behind his head as he walked in front of you.

“Maybe.“ he confessed, a guilty look flashing in his green eyes, “But you can’t blame— “

“I didn’t ask for your life story, Habia.“

“But, you asked—”

“I asked if you had practice. Not a hundred page essay on your feelings.” you snapped. You barely felt guilty and venting your anger at him. Okay. Maybe a very small part of you, that could care, felt bad. But, you couldn’t help it. Lev was an annoyance on the best days. And now, in the morning, when she has a clown on her tail… You couldn’t deal with both. You didn’t look back, not even as Lev let out a worn-out sigh, walking back, away from you.

You cracked your knuckles as you quickly glanced at your watch. 7:45. You glanced around the hallway, watching to see if anyone had noticed. Fortunately for you, no one seemed to even notice your presence. You smiled, a small smile, as you looked forward. You still had ten minutes before you had to see him. You grimaced at thought, speeding your pace. You did not want to see him in the morning. You had learned his schedule, just the parts that coincided with yours, and made it your priority to avoid him at all costs. A bump in with him was asking for a whole heap of trouble you did not need.

You turned, sharply at the corner. Swallowing slightly, as you glanced at your watch again. 7:50. Well, damn. If you didn’t go any faster, you might as well just wait for him to bump into you. Almost there. Almost—

“Crap,” you swore as you landed into someone’s chest.

“Why the rush, Chibi-chan?”

“Really?” he wiggled his eyebrows, looking down at you, “I could change that.”

You gave him a disgusted glare, eyeing him up and down.

“No thank you,” your smile was coating with toxins, seeping into the teeth you were showing.

“Are you sure, Chibi-chan?” he whispered, as he brought his head to your ear. You fought the urge to shiver, as his hot breath fanned over your head.

You rolled your eyes, pushing him away as you walked away. He smiled at your figure as you walked towards your class. He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a sigh. His smile flickered as the feeling of yet another rejection sits in.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

You sat down, on the chair, tucking yourself in slightly as you flipped through your Chemistry textbook. It wasn’t that you were bad at chemistry. You just weren’t the best. The mere idea of atoms and ions were enough to make you flinch. Not to mention the sub-categories of cations and anions. You just didn’t see the reason for learning about things you couldn’t see, much less feel.

You sighed, leaning your head against your shoulder, stretching your strained neck. You heard the slight crack and moaned quietly at the feeling.

“Still have to finish this.“ you murmured to yourself as you picked up a pen and a piece of paper. But, you were blank. You had the materials and you had time. But, you just didn’t understand. You peered at your work, as if it was written in a foreign language. Words went in your head and out. Nothing stuck and nothing made sense. You would much rather spend your time doing something that actually did make sense like Biology. That made sense. Hell, even Math made sense compared to this. You scratched your head with the rubber of your pencil.

It was quiet in the library, making you squirm. It was the library, you supposed, you just weren’t used to the quiet. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to concentrate. You just weren’t used to the quiet. People came in and out of the library, slamming doors and talking loudly. Some even had the audacity to blast out music. Most of the time the air was soaked with loud whispers of her gossiping peers, or the soundless signs of mockery. You weren’t used to the quiet. And you weren’t used to the idea of being left alone.

You sighed, trying to fill the vacancy of the library. It was an odd, almost uncomfortable feeling. And you couldn’t help but think that it was the calm before the storm. You squirmed in your seat at the thought.

“No, you need to focus“ you told yourself, attempting to calm yourself down. You took a deep breath, burying your face in the textbook. You were swallowing each word, slowly, taking a deep breath every time you didn’t understand.

Cation has a positive charge. Anion has a negative one.

“Cation is positive. Anion is negative.“ you repeated, closing your eyes, “Cation is positive. Anion is negative. Cation is negative and Anion is positive.“

“No.“

You opened your eyes, your heart racing as you looked behind. You glared, almost hitting him in the face with your book. As you placed a hand on your chest and turned around. Your face was beet red and your heart was beating in a pace humanly impossible. You didn’t want him looking at you like that.

“Don’t do that.“ you hissed at Kuroo.

“I can’t help myself Chibi-chan,“ he chuckled as he smoothly pulled a chair next to yours. You glared at him, making an obvious gesture of moving away from him. You thought you had seen his smile flicker at that.

“You’re wrong by the way,“ he nodded towards your open textbook, “Cation’s are positive. Anion’s are negative.“

You frowned. Isn’t that what you said.

“I said — “

“Nope,“ he popped the ‘p’ childishly, “You said the opposite.“

“Oh.” You didn’t know what else to say. What could you say. Heat flared in you ears. You felt awkward, almost vulnerable, that he had caught you in the wrong.

“I—“

“Do you need help?“ He looked so genuine when he asked, his usual irritating smirk was replaced with what seemed like a real smile.

“No.“ You wanted to say ‘yes’. To accept the assistance that Kuroo was providing. But, you couldn’t find it in your heart to say ‘yes’. You couldn’t accept this Kuroo. This person who cared. This person who...who wasn’t the person you had painted in your mind.

He looked at you, as if he could see the conflict. He nodded, pushing his chair away from you, standing up.

“You got a confession this morning.“ It wasn’t a question. You knew he knew. He was only trying to start a conversation.

“Yes.“ There was no point in lying. Not when you looked into those steadfast eyes. He burrowed his hands in his pocket, leaning back slightly as he looked at you.

“You should read it, you might enjoy it.“ The smile was forced. From both sides.

“Sure.“ you said in a strained voice. There was no point in asking him how he knew what was written in it.

You sighed, glancing at the textbook and then at Kuroo.

You can’t have it all.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

“Do you have 11 protons? Cause your sodium fine.”

“You must be fluorine cause you are polarizing my bond?“

“Did they just call me salt?“ you screeched into the phone, gagging as specks of glitter fell on your bed, “I can’t believe they called me salt. Kenma are you even —”

“They said fluorine, Y/N, not sodium,“ he muttered, you could here the sounds of his joystick. The small clicking almost comforting to your heated brain. Sodium. Potassium. Fluorine. It didn’t matter.

“So! This is— is, damage to my brain.“ You threw down the confession on the bed, huffing at it, “Who would send this.“

“Someone who likes chemistry,“

“Couldn’t be me,“ you retorted, as you looked at the glittery mess on your bed, “And why would they use glitter?“ You shivered at the word. Glitter will forever be the bane of your existence.

“I bet it was Kuroo,” you spat his name.

“What makes you think that,“ Kenma had ceased his game, a silence rung in your ear at the lack of noise.

“Glitter.” you deadpanned. Your disdain for the item wasn’t a hidden thing. You had made it obvious on several occasions. Scoffing softly at people who wore it, sprinkling it all over the hallway. Rolling your eyes at the offer to use it on a school project. You had even gone as far to sit away from people who had or used it. Glitter, to put it simply, was a pain in your butt.

“Glitter,“ If you didn’t know Kenma any better, you would have called him intrigued.

“Glitter, is the worst invention of man kind.” you emphasized, ignoring the long sigh of annoyance from the other side of the line, “So of course that over-sized, gigantic, huge—“

“Do you need a dictionary?“ he asked dryly, the clicking of his joystick resumed.

“To hit his head with?“ you snapped back. “Yes — ”

A loud, obnoxious thump of your made you twitch. What now.

“I’ll call you back Kenma,“ you quickly cut the call, stomping down the steps and throwing the door open.

“Hello?“

You snarled, your fingers curling into a tight fist. What joke was this.

“Hello?“

There was no one there. You looked down.

“What the...“

You didn’t know whether you wanted to see what it was. It was almost identical to the letter you had seen in your locker. Expect this time, the letter had been plastered with red glitter, a small outline remained on your front steps.

You wanted to throw a fit right there. Glitter. Who in their right mind uses glitter. Even the word made you pissed.

“Just wait until I find out who you are.“ you threatened, precariously picking up the letter.

Ugh.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

“Hey baby,“ you read the letter out loud, “I got my ion you?“

“So?“ he didn’t look up from his game, his fingers moving smoothly over the phone.

“It’s creepy!“ you complained, leaning back against the bleachers.

You had joined Kenma on his walk to school, only to whine and complain about her quote-on-quote secret admirer. Although,you, wouldn’t call this person that.

Stalker. Weirdo. Were the words that came to your mind.

“But, Kenma!” you gestured rapidly with your hands “Isn’t this — I dunno odd?“

“What?“

“That someone’s sending me this.“you rubbed your temples, “I mean, I get its a joke, but do they have to take it so far?“

“What if it’s not a joke?“ he paused his game looking up at you.

“It always is,“ you airily said, “Always.“

“And you’ve always have gotten confessions?”

“Not real ones,“ you confessed, “Just immature people doing immature things.“

You really didn’t want to talk about. It really was a hit to your ego. Your pride. Your self-esteem. That one joke, from years ago, still affected you. Hurt you.

It hurt. Even if, as those kids said, a ‘joke’. The only people that laughed at it was that one boy. Who had pointed at you, as tears streamed down your face, a crumpled pieced of paper in your hand, laughing.

They had laughed at you. And it hurt. They had laughed at your stupidity. And it hurt. Maybe that’s why it was such a far-fetched thing. Mutual pining. Love. You had made sure —forced yourself to not be stupid. Not be naive. Even if it made you the sore thumb of your grade. Even it made you lonely. Your heart wasn’t broken. Not like those girls who got rejected for joy.

“Chibi-chan are you here to watch me play?“

You snapped out of your thoughts, physically moving back. It was like a rubber band. Your head pounded.

“Tetsurou,“ you snarled, rubbing your forehead, “Can you say something before you creep up on me like that?“

“First name basis?“ he wiggled his eyebrows, barking a laugh at your outraged glare.

“Make yourself useful and turn into compost.“ you hissed, as you glanced at Kenma, “I’ve leaving now.“

“Okay,“ he mumbled too engrossed in his game to really care.

“Y/N!“ you heard Kuroo calling after you. Rolling your eyes, you flipped your hair over a shoulder looking at him.

“What?”

“Uh—I just want to say—”

“Spit it out, Tetsurou,” you crossed your arms, tapping a foot annoyed.

“I want to stick to you like cyanoacrylate.” he blurted out,

“What?” you glared at him. Was this a… chemistry joke.

“I want to stick to you like cyanoacrylate.” He repeated, slowly.

“I don’t get what's —cyanoacrylate.”

“It’s a—” he looked conflicted as he sought out the right words, “It’s a glue.”

“You want to stick to me,” you deadpanned, “like glue.”

He nodded fervently, looking at you with bright eyes.

You gave him a small, slowly walking over to him. You grabbed his tie, pulling him to your level.

“Look here, Mr. Kuroo, I have spent two days being spammed with these so called pick-up-lines. I have spent hours—hours— getting glitter off my bed, my hair and my clothes.” He gulped at your angry eyes, “I am going to walk back, to where I was before, and will give you a chance to recant that statement you made.”

“But,—”

“And I don’t want any ifs, ands, or buts.” you glared at him with a threatening gaze, “Understood?”

“Y/N—”

“No, Kuroo, I am not playing your games. I am sick and tired of this.” you snapped, letting go of his tie and pushing him back, “I am not your source of amusement. Or of entertainment. Go find some other stupid girl to play with. I am—”

“You must be fluorine cause you are polarizing my bond?“

The exact same line from your first confession.

“Do you have 11 protons? Cause your sodium fine.”

“What — “

“It’s not a joke, Y/N. I wrote those notes. And I really do — “

“No.“ you shook your head, “It was a joke. You were trying to make fun of me.“

“Y/N, no I swear! I — “

“No. You’re going to laugh at me in the end.“ your voice cracked as tears threatened to leave your eyes.

“Y/N — “

“No.“

You backed away, rushing out of the gym doors. Your heart was beating. You cheeks were hot.

You wanted it to be true. But, you knew that it couldn’t. It would never be true.

You can’t have it all.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

“You’re not going to say anything.“

You shrugged. You didn’t know what to say. You didn’t want to think about it. You allowed silence to fill up the walk home, even Kenma hadn’t said anything till now.

“What is there to say.“ your voice was dry, from the tears you had wept in a closed stall.

“Sorry,“ Kenma offered, “You didn’t mean it.

“I did,“ you lied through your teeth.

“No.“ Kenma seemed so sure of it. You sighed.

“I want it to be true. But it’s not.“ you whispered the last part.

“Who said it wasn’t true.”

“Kuroo acts like that to everyone,“ you said sharply, mostly trying to convince yourself.

“No, he doesn’t.“

“Yes, he does. He treats all girls like that.“

“He—“ You hesitated. He really didn’t do it to anyone else, or at least from what you had seen. Sure, he had gotten many confession over the three years you had known him. But, from what you knew, he had rejected every single one. Never, not once, had you seen him flirt with a girl. Never, not once, had you seen him hurt one.

“He must do it to someone,“ you were desperate as you looked at Kenma.

“He looks like that, but really,“ he paused his game, looking you in the eye, “he isn’t.“

You didn’t need him to say it. You knew it. After all, that was why you had fallen for him. He was kind —even when those on him were judgmental. He was patient, where many were not. He was different, you wanted to believe that. He was different from those boys who had played a prank on you. He was different from the boy who had given you a fake love letter. He was different from the boys who had hurt you. And maybe, during your desperate moments of trying to believe the opposite...you had hurt him.

“Kenma,“ you said halting your pace, “where is he?“

“In the gym,“ Kenma responded as if he had expected that question, as if he had planned for this exact moment,

“I have to go,“ you said as you sprinted off in the other direction.

You can’t have it all. But you could try and keep it.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

“Serve, set, spike.“ he muttered under his breath, as he threw a volleyball in the air. It spun, in a perfect rotation, before colliding with his bare palm. It stung. But, it didn’t hurt more than the sting in his heart.

He hadn’t cried yet. Not that he planned to. But, he wanted to. He wanted to scream and shout and wail. But, he couldn’t so he continued throwing the ball up and spiking it too the floor.

Serve. Set. Spike.

It was a mechanical movement, something that occurred on instinct.

Serve. Set. Spike.

He hadn’t expected a yes. He hadn’t really known what to expect. He had caught you multiple times staring at him. Had caught the seemingly longing glances that you had thrown his way. He had caught the slight spark of anger in your eye as other girls threw their affection. He had caught the almost defensive posture that you claimed when anyone talked about him.

But, he had also caught you inching farther from him, almost disgusted by his presence. He had caught the scowl that formed on your pretty lips at the mere mention of his name. He had caught the annoyed look as he passed by, throwing you a small smile.

But, he had taken his chances. Starting of with a letter. A letter of the best pick-up-lines he could think of in that moment. Maybe it was his handwriting, maybe you didn’t like that. Maybe it was the sentences themselves, maybe you didn't understand it. Maybe it was —

“Tetsurou Kuroo, how dare you.“

The ball fell on the floor making a satisfying sound. He turned, shocked, towards you.

“How. Dare. You“ you said between heavy pants.

“Y/N?“ he didn’t dare take any step closer.

“How dare you, not tell me how you feel.“

He felt pinned by your stare, and had it not been for the confusion and shock he would have thrown the glittery notes in your face.

“How dare you.”

“I told you!” he rose his hands in surrender.

“By using cringe, chemistry pick up lines.”

So it was the sentences after all.

“I didn’t understand any of those!”

“But, they’re science pick-up-lines,“ he said weakly.

“Chemistry pick up lines, Tetsurou.“you looked like you were about to strangle him, “Chemistry! I can’t even remember the difference between a cation and an anion”

“One’s positive and the other—“

“The point is, you didn’t make yourself clear.“

You walked up to him, grabbing his shoulders and pulling him down, just like you had done before.

“And let me tell you Kuroo, the glitter didn’t help your case.“

Oh. Maybe it was the glitter.

“What, I’m trying to say is,“ he was half-amused by your incoherent blabber, “If you made it clear what you felt, I would have said yes.”

Oh. Maybe it was nothing.

“You would have said, yes?“ he looked down at you. At your blushing self.

“Yes.“

“You said it now,“ he teased,halfheartedly.

“Come here you nerd,“ you pulled his shoulders roughly as you covered his lips with your own. His eyes fluttered close in an instant.

“Glitter,“ you mumbled on his lips.

“What,“ he was only half aware of what was happening.

“Next time, don’t use glitter.“

He wouldn’t. Next time.

He smirked, pulling you in by your waist, resuming the kiss.

You couldn’t have everything. But, you sure as hell could try.

blank canvas - junior quartet hcs

the juniors reacting to finding a drawing you made for them

⋆┈┈｡ﾟ❃ ❀ ❁ ❃ ❀ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆

Lan Sizhui

you always say that you’re not an artist

but Sizhui doesn’t agree

he can be cheesy and call you art too, but hehe let’s save that for another time

he loves the little doodles that you always draw on your homework and notes

he appreciate your smiley faces on little sticky notes that you leave around his dorm room as well

small reminders and supportive words like:

you’ve got your presentation in the bag! you can do it ＠＾▽＾＠

don’t forget to buy more milk for cereal!

your best look is when you smile (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

and a plethora of other cheesy things that get him through the day

and you always draw cute little faces, they’re kind of like chibi style

so when he’s rifling around on your desk,

because you had told him that you had left your flash drive somewhere between all your papers and what not

he’s surprised to come across a full piece of printing paper

with a picture

that’s him

and you

chibi style

and he wanted to stare at it for longer than 5 minutes, but you had called him from the living room and he doesn’t think he was supposed to see it anyways

so he shuffles it back from where it was under your folders and looks a bit closer for your flash drive until he finally sees it next to your eraser

and when he gets out of the room, he doesn’t ask you about the picture, since judging from the ‘happy anniversary’ wording you had begun to trace out, it was for your upcoming date in a week

and really Sizhui can’t wait to see the finished product

⋆┈┈｡ﾟ❃ ❀ ❁ ❃ ❀ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆

Lan Jingyi

all the love for this guy, but he would have no artistic talent

at least, not in the drawing and painting field

which is why he appreciates that you can draw

and also why he always gushes whenever you draw anything

because he can’t draw for shit, lol

but you have a different perspective of him, since well, you do draw

you appreciate how passionate and animated Jingyi is

his face has just the right portions

and the strong emotions in them always

makes you itch for your pencil

and ever since you’ve met him, you’ve found him to be the easiest person to just...draw

Jingyi doesn’t know of course

you wouldn’t dare tell him,

he’d laugh

but whenever you guys are out on a date in the city, or sat together amidst the greenery you get hit with moments of inspiration

moments of inspiration usually wrapped in a loud laugh of his

or his face, tilted up to bathe in the warm afternoon sunlight, sat high on a rock edge at Central Park

or his mused hair whenever you run your hand through them after an afternoon lounging together in your quiet apartment

you remember ever moment

and you try your very best to capture you favorite moments on paper

Jingyi finds the sketches a few months after dating you

when he is grabbing a book from you desk and accidentally knocks a pile of papers and your large canvas sketch book open onto the floor

he doesn’t believe its him

because you make him look godly,

with the way that you color in the shadows around his hands

and the delicate way you trace his jawline on paper

as you do in real life

Jingyi stares in awe at your work

and he really can’t believe

that someone would love him this much

to see him this way

⋆┈┈｡ﾟ❃ ❀ ❁ ❃ ❀ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆

Jin Ling

doesn’t seem like he could draw himself, but i think he would be pretty good at coloring

specifically water coloring

you’re a lot better at sketching than him and such things like that

but he’s a lot better at choosing the right hues

and overall you both usually work together on most of your class projects

and you work well, together

which is why he’s mildly confused when you suddenly become secretive of something in you sketch book a halfway into the year

because you both had shared most of you art together before

so what was the point of your being secretive now?

did it annoy him a little?

perhaps

okay it very very much did annoy him

it annoyed him to the point that he had waited for you to, trustfully, leave your sketch book alone with him one day on the table at the coffee shop and go to the bathroom

oh what a mistake that was

Jin Ling grabs the book and opens it the moment you’re out of sight

and besides, what’s the worse he could see?

he was expecting some abstract art or even accentuated anime style

he wasn’t expecting to see himself

page after page of different styles

but the same person

he’s in awe at your progress

and also

he’s become your muse???

he slams your sketch book close when he hears footsteps coming close in the distance

but his face is still so red

you ask him if he’d burned his tongue on the coffee that he ordered or something, but he just denies you

had he become your muse?

Jin Ling thinks and thinks and thinks the whole time

he’d become your muse!

⋆┈┈｡ﾟ❃ ❀ ❁ ❃ ❀ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆

Ouyang Zizhen

would have always wanted to learn to draw

and practice makes everything possible

but the feeling that one would get

choosing the right colors

the right texture

the right...everything

Zizhen didn’t have that

but ever since he’d met you, he’d found contentment in watching you draw

loved the way that you just knew what colors would belong where and what would look best there

you’re the perfect artist that he had always dreamed of being

he thinks so

believes this for a while

until he stops by your studio a year or so after knowing you

and he sees it

they’re large canvas, lining up the back wall of your studio amidst other big projects that you’re planning

the closer he gets, the more he sees the details of frustration that you have left on them

one part of the canvas ripped because you had erased or pressed too hard

a splotch of color clearly gone out of line from the way that you wanted it to go

and such other little things

its the first pieces of unfinished work that he’s ever seen from you

and they’re still, just as beautiful as your finished ones, Zizhen thinks

“do you know what you’re looking at?”

your voice surprises him as you come up behind him

he turns around to look at you, shake his head in confusion

you smile at him, pull him a step or two back so he can the full canvas

it’s a human face...

different directions and trials

“it’s you,” you admit, quietly

your voice echoes in the studio

he widens his eyes as he recognizes himself between the lines you’ve erased and gone over

“i want to draw you...in the best way that i can. but it’s been taking me a while to do that...” you admit, almost like you’re ashamed

Zizhen turns to look at you, taking your hands in his

the calluses you’ve built, as you labored over paintings of a man like him

“it has already been the biggest honor of my life, to be someone worthwhile for you paint,” he admits to you in the quietness of your studio

you smile at him

he smiles back

“Good work today! We’ll see you at dinner!”

You waved goodbye to the managers as you made your way back to where the boys were practicing with Shimizu and Yachi. You stretched your arms over your head and let out a groan while your friends chuckled at your reaction.

“You really did overwork yourself yesterday, huh?” Yachi asked while she tied her jacket around her waist.

Slumping over, you yawned and nodded. “Umm yeah, I guess so. I didn’t even realize how much I played till we all talked about it over dinner. Yu-nii wouldn’t let me hear the end of it.”

Your mind flashed back to the night before when the libero rapidly shook your shoulders. He yelled your ear off while the rest of the team laughed at your relationship. It didn’t help that your face was blank while trying to continue on with your meal. You’ve heard it from him all before but you couldn’t help it when you lost track of time. All you wanted to do was peacefully eat your dinner then knock out for the night and yet Nishinoya made it his job to make sure the entire camp heard how reckless you had been.

“Well, at least something good came out of it though.” Shimizu laughed with a teasing glint in her eyes.

Your cheeks grew warm as she referred to Kageyama carrying you into the cafeteria and half of the camp ended up freaking out over it. “Hey! You promised you wouldn’t tease anymore.”

Shimizu smiled and Yachi laughed out loud and patted your shoulders. “It’s nice to see some progress between you two.”

“He was just being nice.” you huffed.

“Kageyama isn’t just nice to anyone, y’know,” Shimizu added.

“I told him that it was okay to just walk side by side though!”

“And yet he still offered to carry you~” Yachi teased.

“...It was my knee, okay?” you pouted and pointed to the said body part that was wrapped in KT Tape with a brace covering it. To make sure that you listened to his lecture, Nishinoya took it upon himself to wake up earlier than he typically would to give you his stash of Tiger Balm and extra case of KT tape in case you ran out.

“Right, whatever you say(Y/N)-chan.” she chuckled and Shimizu added on, “But please take it easy tonight, Noya-san even said you shouldn’t play again until we get back home.”

“Ugh, whatever. It’s my body not his, I can do whatever I want.” you waved and rolled your eyes as the three of you arrived at the first gymnasium. As much as you appreciated his worrying, you were finally getting the chances to play and work on your skills again.

“I’ll leave you to it then?” Shimizu asked.

Yachi nodded as you saluted and the older girl waved goodbye before she made her way towards the second gymnasium to check up on the others who were working on the synchronized attack. When you made your way into the gym that you were assigned to help, Yachi split ways with you at the door and sauntered towards the other court to help with the second-year members while you walked towards your side and waved to Coach Ukai and Kageyama. Picking up the ball that rolled away from missing a water bottle, you gave the setter an encouraging smile when he locked eyes with you.

“Alright, now that (L/N) is here I can properly watch you.” Coach Ukai smirked and nodded for you to take his place.

Every time you tossed the ball, Kageyama continued to miss by being off by a little bit. After a couple more tries, the frustration on his face became more evident. You pursed your lips when you noticed his demeanor become tenser and a small scowl could be seen on his face. He cursed underneath his breath when he missed once more and Coach Ukai finally stepped in with some tips to help him.

“Kageyama, don’t think of the bottle as a target. Actually, visualize it. As much as you can, visualize a spike.”

You understood where Ukai was coming from: rather than setting at a set point, Kageyama had to remember that his target was moving at different speeds and points of the court. His expression turned thoughtful as Coach Ukai walked back towards the sidelines and stretched his back.

He suddenly snapped his fingers and pointed at you. “Ah (L/N), before I forget, can you give this to Takeda-sensei? I can take over for a bit until you come back.”

You walked up to Coach Ukai as he handed you some documents and nodded. Before you took a step towards the door, you couldn’t help but look back at Kageyama who was looking down at the volleyball in his hands.

“Don’t worry about Kageyama, he’ll be fine.” He reassured you when he noticed that your gaze followed Kageyama while he walked off to the side to get a quick sip of water.

“Alright if you say so.” You sighed and began to make your way out of the gym. “I’ll be back!”

“Take care.” “Be safe and hurry back idiot.”

You laughed at Kageyama’s words and walked your way through the school. Since you had time to yourself, you decided to check on the rest of the team. You peeped in the gym that Shimizu was in to see that she was recording the synchronized attack for the boys to look over after they were done for critiques. On the other side, Nishinoya was practicing his jump with Asahi, and your assumption of where the hyperactive spiker was confirmed. Making your way towards the third gym, you were impressed to see that Tsukishima and Hinata were both very focused on the practice game with Kuroo, Bokuto, and Akaashi. Lev was also added into the mix and your eyes traveled towards the scoreboard and as they finished the first round. You couldn’t control your laughter when your eyes landed on the names of their makeshift teams. All of the heads turned towards your direction and you waved your hands so they wouldn’t pay attention to you.

“What are you laughing at, (Y/N)-chan?” Bokuto asked.

You pointed at the names they wrote down and bent over to help catch your breath. “You guys really put your spirit animals as the team names?”

“Isn’t it cool?” Kuroo smirked as he walked up to you and ruffled your hair.

“Don’t. Touch. The. Hair. Tetsu.” you groaned and poked him in the stomach as retaliation.

He laughed and stepped away to give you some space. “Alright, chibi-chan, geeze can’t you let me have some fun?”

You rolled your eyes and walked over towards Hinata. He smiled at you and laughed when you couldn’t help but ruffle his hair.

“What are you doing here, (Y/N)-chan?” Hinata asked then gave you a hug.

“I just wanted to check up on you guys.” you shrugged and waved at the others that gathered around.

“So how’s it been?”

“It’s been pretty good, these guys are slowly getting better,” Bokuto answered your question as he pointed towards Karasuno and Nekoma’s first years.

“Um...We are technically opponents as soon as we’re in a match, right?” Tsukishima asked. “Why are you giving us advice?” He continued before wiping his face with his towel.

Kuroo put on an angelic smile and raised his hand to put it over his heart. “I’ve always been a nice person.”

You and Tsukishima gave him blank expressions while Hinata just watched him, not knowing how to act.

“You don’t have to look at me like that.” Kuroo sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “I want to make the Battle at the Garbage Dump a reality. Well, it’s practice for me, as well, so don’t sweat the small things.”

You snickered at his reaction and went up to pinch his cheeks. “Awww look at cute Lil Tetsu-nii trying to act all cool for his juniors.”

“Get off of me, you brat.” Kuroo groaned and tried to push you away.

You stuck out your tongue at him and Bokuto slung his arms over the both of them. “Alright now that story time’s over let’s get back to it, yeah?”

“We’ll catch up after, alright (Y/N)-chan?”

You nodded in response while the boys gathered on the court and Bokuto gave her a cheeky smile. “I’m looking forward to the ramen this weekend!”

You gulped and glared at Kuroo who was laughing. “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM AT THE END YOU IDIOT!”

Flipping your childhood friends off, you rubbed your temples as you stormed out of the gym and shook your head at their antics. ‘They are literally going to make me go broke this weekend with how huge their appetites are.’

“Alright, here’s the next one!” you called out.

Kageyama took in a deep breath and zoned in on his focus. Progress was finally being made after practicing the drills all throughout the week. He was glad that everything was settling into his muscle memory. Trying to imagine where Hinata would appear, Kageyama tossed the ball to the bottle furthest away from him. You gasped while you watched the ball spiral towards the designated bottle and fall right on top of it. With a proud smile, you jumped excitedly and clapped your hands. Ever since you returned back to the gym, Kageyama’s focus was sharper than ever and his progress skyrocketed within the next hour of practicing. He smirked and you noticed the new and fiery look in his eyes.

“Toss me one more!”

Like previous sessions, you two continued to practice late into the night for him to really get it into his body. It was down to the littlest details and he even asked you try and spike some with Ukai tossing a couple of balls to make the exercise even more effective. For the most part, Kageyama was in his own world to make sure that he got his sets down. When Ukai left you to your own devices, you would give him critiques here and there to make sure that his accuracy remained the same. For extra reassurance, you made it a thing that if he couldn’t get the full line five times in a row, then Kageyama would have to restart until he got it right. You admired his determination and couldn’t wait to see how things played out.

At some point, Kuroo and Bokuto had stopped by to check up on you after they wrapped up their own practice. You caught up with them during one of your breaks and Kageyama would glance over at you with them every once in a while. Kuroo caught on to his behavior and smirked. While you were complaining about how your dad kept texting how excited he was for you staying over the weekend to Bokuto, Kuroo made his way over to the setter and nodded towards their little setup.

“So how’s it going with you guys?” he asked and sat next to Kageyama.

“It’s going good, I almost have it down.”

“Nah kid, I mean how’s your progress with chibi-chan.”

“Huh?”

Kuroo rolled his eyes and nodded his head at you who was being chased around by Bokuto. The squeals and laughter from the two of you echoed through the gym and Kuroo chuckled to the crazy energy Bokuto always managed to rub off on you.

“Based off of last night’s events, one can only assume that you both have a thing for each other.”

“I do not,” Kageyama grumbled as he looked to the side and aggressively chugged his water.

Kuroo laughed at the younger boy’s reaction and patted his shoulder. “You make it clear as day, but (Y/N) on the other hand, she’d need you to actually spell it out for her.”

“We’re not dating and I don’t think she’d go for me anyway,” he replied back.

“Oh trust me, she’d totally go for you. She looks at you and acts differently when you’re together. I’ve known her long enough with Bokuto and I’m pretty sure Nishinoya can see that she has a crush on you.”

“You guys are just teasing us.”

“Usually I’d say yes, but for right now, I’m trying to help you out.”

Kageyama blinked and turned to look at Kuroo who had a soft smile on his face, his eyes locked on you. “Why are you helping me?”

Without taking his eyes off of you, Kuroo simply said, “Because (Y/N) deserves the world and I’ve never seen her like that. She’s the little sister I’ve always wanted, y’know? It’s the same for Bokuto too. She’s helped us in so many ways and we’ve grown protective over her.”

Kageyama’s eyes widened and Kuroo looked back with a small smirk. “You’re so easy to read, kid. We just want her to be happy after all that she’s been through. As you can see, (Y/N) is passionate about anything she puts her mind to whether it’s volleyball or friendships. Relationship-wise, she tends to wear her heart on her sleeve which doesn’t always have a happy ending. Over the years, we’ve seen her during her puppy love phase and it crushed Bokuto and me to see her so dejected when her previous crushes turned her down.”

“Oh…”

“Bokuto always says she’s one in a million. I’d have to agree because both of us always wanted to keep her as our little gem.” Kageyama couldn’t help but notice the way that Kuroo’s facial expression softened while they watched you jump onto Bokuto’s back and spun you around. “If you are actually serious about her, I’d say not to wait too long to do something about it though, because you never know who could swoop in and try to whisk her off of her feet,” Kuroo added with a pointed look.

Kageyama hummed in response as you and Bokuto waved them over. His mind flashed back towards the previous days in the week and the comments that he overheard other players saying about you. Just like how they’ve fawned over Shimizu, now that you and Yachi were about of the team, it was new eye candy for the other volleyball players to admire. He’s seen some try to flirt with you during the dead time at the camp and he couldn’t help the burning sensation in his chest. Every time he came across moments like that, all he wanted to do was take you away so all of your attention was on him.

Kuroo sighed and pushed himself up before offering his hand to Kageyama. He took it silently and before they walked towards the center of the court, Kuroo tightened his grip on his hand and said, “If you hurt her, you don’t only have to go through Nishinoya and the others on your team. Best believe you’ll find me and Bokuto standing on your doorstep ready to pummel you when you least expect it, got it, King?”

Kageyama gulped when he saw the dangerous glint in Kuroo’s eyes and nodded. Happy with his response, Kuroo’s demeanor immediately relaxed, and laughed while slinging his arm over his shoulders.

“Tetsu-nii I swear to Kami if you’re bullying Tobio I’m gonna kill you!” you threatened when you managed to catch a glimpse of Kageyama’s reaction at the end of their conversation.

“Nah we were just bro bonding, chibi-chan.” He responded.

Kageyama met your gaze that fell upon him and you gave him a helpless smile. “Sorry for that one, he doesn’t know when to stop sometimes.”

“No worries, he was stating the truth, (Y/N),” Kageyama said.

“That’s good, I’m glad to see the people that I care about getting along.” you smiled brightly.

“Don’t worry, Kags and I will have our bro bonding soon too!” Bokuto added and crossed his arms, a deadly smile on his face.

“Oof, if you thought I was bad, wait until you talk to Bokuto,” Kuroo murmured before brushing past Kageyama and walking towards the entrance.

Bokuto waved at you two before jogging to keep up with Kuroo who lazily waved goodbye. You only shook your head in amusement at their actions before turning back to Kageyama and patted his shoulder.

“Ready?”

Kageyama hummed in agreement as his mind was drifted away with all the new information Kuroo had told him. ‘Was it that obvious to everyone?’ He looked back to you who had walked off to gather some stray volleyballs near the basket. ‘I need to clear my mind, I don’t think I can focus anymore…’

He cleared his throat and you whirled around to look at him. “I think we should end here tonight.”

“Are you sure? I can still go for another thirty minutes or so.” You asked with a raised eyebrow and played with the volleyball in your hands.

Kageyama nodded and said, “My body is already cooled down and I guess time passed quickly when Bokuto-san and Kuroo-san were here. I feel like I’m at a good place with the sets.”

He watched as you understandingly nodded and gave him another smile. “Sounds good.”

“I’ll walk you to the room after.” he simply said as he walked up to you and began to push the volleyball cart towards the storage room.

“You don’t have to Tobio.” you insisted while you walked behind him.

“I don’t want you to get lost, shorty.”

“I won’t get lost, milk boy. It's literally a short walk past the dining hall then around the faculty building. ”

“Noya-san would kill me if he found out that I let you walk alone, it’s too dark out.”

“Are you actually being a gentleman?” you teased as he pushed the cart inside the storage room.

You leaned against the wall while he walked back out and locked its door. He rolled his eyes and walked towards the bench that had both of your belongings.

“Can you just let me be nice to you?” he muttered and wordlessly slung your duffel bag over his shoulder.

“Nah, it’s fun to tease you.” you laughed and tried to take your bag from him.

Kageyama easily dodged your arm and couldn’t help but flick your forehead in response.

“...idiot,” he muttered before slipping his hands into his pockets and walked out of the gym.

“I know.”

“Are you coming or not? You can just sleep here if you want slowpoke.” Kageyama called out as he looked over his shoulder to see you closing the doors of the gym.

“Whatever, blueberry,” you responded and stuck your tongue out at him.

Kageyama rolled his eyes and continued to lead the way towards the building you were staying at. As you slightly lagged behind him, you admired the way that he looked from behind. His back was relaxed rather than tensed as if he carried the whole weight of the team. There was sort of a serene look on his face now that things were working in his favor. It was nice knowing that he trusted you enough to show you this relaxed side of him outside of practice time. He looked a little more vulnerable than usual and it made you happy that he was comfortable with you. Your eyes glanced at your duffle that was hanging from his shoulder with his on the other one. You bit your thumb to stop the smile that was threatening to come out because of the sweet gesture. ‘Can he get any cuter?’ you thought to yourself as you made your way to his side. Kageyama clicked his tongue when you finally walked side by side and you laughed. This was your time together and no one was able to take that away from you two.

veer-zaara for yunoasta !!!

Anon, thank you for the wonderful prompt. I hope you enjoy the feels.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's Captain Fuegoleon who tells him that he'll never become Wizard King.

It doesn't burn as much as he thinks it would. There's no sneer accompanying the older man's words, no actual distaste on his part, just the cold hard truth of the matter.

He's not cruel about it, either. He simply calls Yuno to a formal meeting, and communicates what the rest of the Clover Kingdom nobility wants him to communicate. A prince of another realm can never rule as our rightful king, is what Captain Fuegoleon says.

I'm sorry, is what Captain Fuegoleon means.

Of course, that doesn't mean Yuno is stripped of his citizenship, or kicked out of the Magic Knights. He's Vice Captain of the Golden Dawn, and one day, he'll become their Captain, but that's where his career ends.

He tells Sister Lily, because out of everyone he knows, she's the only one who knows how to listen without interrupting. He sends Belle away to play with the children, and recounts his story as they sit across from each other at the rickety little kitchen table that still hasn't given up.

Somewhere along the way, he begins to cry, but he doesn't even notice, not until she takes his hands into her own, and squeezes them lightly.

The rest of the world finds out a few days later, when Belle is chewing out some junior Golden Dawn members, promising them that after Yuno gets tired of looking after them, she'll steal him away to the spirit world where he can become her king, because to hell with Clover Kingdom.

Once the rest of the Magic Knights find out, word swiftly travels back to Ralph Niaflem, who's strategically set up a small base on the border of Spade Kingdom to keep tabs on Yuno without breaking the uneasy peace treaty between Clover Kingdom and the transitional government currently leading Spade. Its been six months since the invasion concluded, and Yuno's only a few moons away from his eighteenth birthday, so Ralph is bolder than he's ever been.

Yuno doesn't need to do anything. He's leading reconstruction efforts along the border of the Neutral Zone on Clover Kingdom's side, so it's Ralph who finds him at the mead hall after the last round of meals have been served.

Come home, is all he says.

Leave them, is what Yuno hears.

The assumptions don't baffle Yuno as much as the audacity does.

It makes sense why some would talk. It's a nobleman's world, after all. Yuno knows parentage is as important as power, and he has the power, he's always had the power, but he simply does not have the parentage. He knows this, understands it, and gets why Captain Fuegoleon looks at him with pity, gets why Captain Jack offers him a spot on his squad if he ever gets bored of running around with the hoity-toity soldiers of Golden Dawn, because it's just a fact of their world, the fact that no man is born equal.

But the audacity – the fact that people think that being Wizard King is all that's ever mattered, that's what burns Yuno alive.

Because none of it matters, so as long as the people he loves are OK.

As long they're OK, Yuno will accept anything.

Maybe that's why Ralph comes with a contract next.

Come to Spade, and you and your foster family will never have to worry about food ever again, says Ralph.

Come to Spade, and Clover will never be able to look down on you ever again, Yuno hears.

Asta is the only one who contests the decision in high court, charges at Damnatio and the council, demanding justice, demanding equality.

He doesn't get it, of course, because Asta himself is only around so that Clover Kingdom can save face, not because Asta is their savior, not because Asta put his life on the line to establish a contract with the Anti-Magic Demon – no. Asta's only around because Damnatio can't deny that Asta has saved millions of people across borders, and Damnatio knows that exiling him is the same as offering him up as a free resource to another kingdom, and Damnatio can't have that, can't have a weapon that strong in another realm.

So Asta gets to stay – but like all other weapons, he doesn't get a say, and once the nobles are tired of hearing him yell on Yuno's behalf, they tell him that Yuno can become an advisor to the king like Marx Francois, should the future king ever desire, but that's about as far as they'll budge.

And that burns Asta alive.

Captain Vangeance and Yami Sukehiro are finally cleared for duty by the time Ralph prepares his third strike. This time, it's a missive from the transitional government in Spade, offering Yuno the opportunity to rule over his own army, because now they think that Yuno is an ambitious little soldierboy, and that if they can get him into the country as a high-ranked general, he'll eventually take the mantle as king.

As always, Yuno declines as rudely as possible, because there are no niceties left to share with Ralph – no respect for a man who desires nothing more than to snatch Yuno away from the only home he has ever known.

Maybe that's why Ralph's fourth strike is the worst.

Asta breaks Solid Silva's nose defending Yuno's honor, because Asta will accept any and all disrespect thrown his way, so as long as the insults are only directed towards him. Yuno doesn't think the Silva tribe has much common sense, because the young man, Solid, he says something in full earshot of seventeen other Magic Knights, so when Asta throws his punch, no one makes a move to help until Solid starts wailing about his precious face.

Yuno only finds out after Klaus and Mimosa hurry him to the courthouse where Asta is awaiting suspension details for attacking a fellow Magic Knight. He's outside when Asta comes out with a limping Captain Yami, whose hand is around the back of Asta's neck as the shorter of the two is dragged out like a ragdoll. He's there when Captain Yami throws Asta at him like he's a sack of potatoes. He's there when Captain Yami yells at Yuno to get the chibi in line before Asta gets himself fired for picking fights with every blueblood in the country.

He's there when Asta grumbles underneath his breath that if the asshole had kept Yuno's name out of his filthy mouth, then maybe Asta wouldn't have had to break his nose in public with seventeen other Magic Knights standing around.

He's there when he realizes it's not all for naught.

Yuno doesn't need to tell Asta he loves him. Instead, he shows him.

They're back in Hage, because Asta is suspended from his duties for a month without pay, and Yuno's just as petty as the rest of them, so he flies Asta home on his broom. After Asta's gotten his scoldings and scarfed down twelve baked tatoes in record time, Yuno leads him into the forest towards Fanzell Kruger's old house, having already promised Sister Lily and Father Orsi that they'd be back the next morning.

Asta doesn't understand until they're in front of the old house that's still furnished with the basics, a house that Yuno keeps tidy and well-stocked because he oftentimes needs a quiet place to do his paperwork.

Yuno doesn't tell Asta he loves him. Instead, he leads his beloved through the doors of the old house, and into the bedroom upstairs.

A week later, Ralph approaches him while he's lunching with the Vice Captain of the Green Mantis, finalizing the details of a new community center that will help the isolated villages have a place to congregate outside the old Grimoire Tower now undergoing renovations. It's good work, and En Ringard is an intelligent man, and things are going well until Yuno catches a glimpse of Ralph's sandy blonde hair.

The fourth time, Ralph slides over a copy of Clover Kingdom's constitution of rights. The section detailing the ban on same-sex marriage is marked with red ink. Before Yuno can punch him in the throat, Ralph slides another missive across the table.

This one promises Yuno he can marry anyone if he becomes the Spade king – including Asta.

It's the only time he doesn't rudely decline Ralph's offer. Instead, he's shaking with rage he can't understand. Ralph excuses himself and disappears from sight, while Yuno spends the rest of the day pouring through the documents, comparing notes, imagining a life where he can hold Asta's hand and be recognized for it.

They're not hiding it, of course, and the nation hasn't outlawed their existence, but that's about as far as the King's mercy goes. They can't marry, can't take in children unless they take up the cloth as celibate fathers, can't inherit wealth from each other, can't even claim each other during a health crisis. They're out in the open, in love and bound together for life, but they have nothing to show for it in the eyes of the law. They know it, and the kingdom knows it. They know it, and even Captain Yami and Captain Vangeance give them pitying looks, because they know Yuno and Asta will end up just like them – living detached lives with their respective men, lives that only matter to them and them alone, because Clover Kingdom doesn't care about them, doesn't recognize them.

And so the fourth strike is the worst, because Ralph is a master tactician, and worst than Damnatio will ever be. Clover Kingdom's citizenry sneer at them when they hold hands at the fish market.

Ralph offers him a kingdom, an army, and the right to marry Asta – all in the same breath.

They sleep in the same bed now, whether it be at the Black Bulls base, the Golden Dawn headquarters, or Fanzell Kruger's old house. The only place they don't share a bed is the church, and only because Father Orsi claims that only only married men can share a bed under God's eyes. At first, they're scared, because perhaps they've miscalculated, and maybe their love isn't enough, but the old man is of a different breed, and he's already yelled at seven different barristers for rejecting a marriage license for two men even though Asta and Yuno never asked him to fight on their behalf.

But he does, and so does Sister Lily, and so do the orphans who pick fights with the children who disrespect them, and that's how Asta and Yuno know that they're loved, that they'll always be loved.

So when Ralph comes to him a fifth time, Yuno has his answer prepared.

It's two weeks after his and Asta's eighteenth birthday, and Captain Vangeance has gifted them enough wood to build their own house in Hage, so that they have a place to canoodle until Father Orsi is able to threaten a barrister into approving his and Asta's marriage license.

It's funny, because they don't even have to propose to each other. Their loved ones do all the work for them.

Ralph approaches him while he's going over measurements for the kitchen. They meet under the bright, mid-afternoon sun, a day when Asta is away on a mission, and both Father Orsi and Sister Lily are in the capital for a formal meeting of the nuns and priests under Clover Kingdom's church.

“Your Highness-”

“Please, call me Yuno. There are no princes in Hage.”

He hums into Asta's chest that night as they canoodle beneath the stars. Asta's limbs are splayed out in every odd direction, while Yuno is curled up against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. The chill hasn't settled in yet, but when it does, Yuno knows that he'll be fine, so as long as Asta is fine, so as long as they're together, forever.

“When I'm Wizard King, I'll make you co-Wizard King,” Asta tells him for the sixth time that night.

“Still not the actual Wizard King,” Yuno hums.

“Then I'll kick Damnatio's ass until he makes us both Wizard Kings!” Asta yells at the sky.

Yuno can't help but laugh, because at one point, it did hurt knowing that he wouldn't be able to follow Asta to the top, but he'd forgotten that no matter what, Asta will never let him fall behind. One way or another, they'll both get there, regardless of who gets there first.

Whether it's as the Captain of the Golden Dawn, as an advisor, or as co-Wizard King – it will always be Asta and Yuno, together forever.

Yuno presses kisses up against Asta's throat before reaching his lips. The sky is free of clouds tonight, and the empty field next to Fanzell Kruger's old house is illuminated with an abundance of moonlight. Yuno smiles down on his beloved before pressing his lips against his forehead.

Asta's fast, too fast, and Yuno's on his back again, pressed against an old blanket as Asta kisses the daylights out of him. When Asta finally lets go, Yuno laughs into his neck, laughs as Asta leaves kisses along his shoulder while adjusting his hips, laughs as he falls in love over, and over, and over again with the same man, now and forever.

Ralph doesn't show up again after that, not until many years later when Asta and Yuno are pushing thirty, and Father Orsi has finally succeeded in threatening the council into signing off on Asta and Yuno's marriage license with the help of two royal houses, countless nobles, many of the commoners, and almost all of the peasantry.

Ralph gives Yuno his birth family's old engraved bookshelves as a wedding gift. He fills the furniture with books, photo frames, and his and Asta's grimoires.

And all is well.

[Kingdom Hearts] When you give a bunny kid a cake…

Summary: After living for so long with a pack of toddlers, you grow used to their sweet doe eyes when they're about to get in trouble. Ventus has not grown such an immunity toward Oswald's sextuplet bunny kids and as such they recruit him into sneaking the ultimate treat; Ortensia's triple chocolate silk cake. [lowkey requested by @chibi-mushroom and the idea was just too adorable not to ignore]

---

When Ortensia invited them over for a small fall party, Ventus didn't quite think he'd spend most of the time trapped in his girlfriend's bedroom. Not that they were doing anything exciting to begin with. Playing mancala had been Sabrina's idea, but now she looked like she was ready to go to sleep. She laid against her stomach with her head cradled in her arms, the mancala board at the foot of her bed, and Ven volunteering to sit on the floor. Sabrina's eyes drooped lower whenever Ven took his turn.

“You're allowed to go to sleep.” he told her at some point. “It's just me, Terra, and Aqua.”

“And Vanitas.” she spat back. “There's no way I'm going to sleep with that creeper in arm's distance.”

And so, indirectly, Ventus now had the reason why she had him trapped in her room. She needed someone to keep her awake. Someone that wasn't going to be too loud or annoying just by sharing a room with her. Someone, in other words, that she trusted.

He did not feel lucky knowing he was that someone.

“What did you do last night?” he then asked her. “You look so… dead inside.”

Sabrina opened her mouth to retort -a possible 'that's because I feel dead inside' if he knew her well- but was cut off with six little voices calling, “Sabreenie! Sabreenie!” from the other side of the door. Without skipping a beat, Sabrina shouted back;

“Buzz off!”

“But we need you Sabreenie!” three voices told her.

“And Ven-Ven too!” a single voice reminded them.

“Yes! And Ven-Ven too!” two others chorused in agreement.

Sabrina let out a low groan as she buried her head further into her arms.

Even though he knew she didn't want to hear it, Ven told her, “Can't you humor them for now? They are your siblings.”

“Not by blood.” she grumbled as she started to get off her bed anyway. Ven fought the urge to fondly smile at her while she sat straight up, and rubbed the sleep from her eyes using the palm of her hand. It looked enough like a scene from a movie that Ven wondered if she did it for show.

His opinion on this was squashed easily when she did rise to her feet. If it wasn't obvious Sabrina was exhausted, it became quickly apparent as she made her way to the door. She had a light, unintentional sway to her gait, which almost led to her bumping into the mannequin she used to test outfits before she wore them. It was actually kinda weird that she had it out- she usually hid it in her closet when guests were coming over.

Regardless, she made it to her door with otherwise ease. Sabrina opened the door and was greeted to six bunny children. They had stacked themselves by their shoulders- but even with the added height, the bunny kid on top was just barely tall enough to see above Sabrina's shoulders.

“You have three minutes.” Sabrina said to the bunny kid on top.

“Mama made a cake!” they happily told her.

Sabrina cocked an eyebrow at them. “And…?”

“Mama told Junior, Roy, Ray, Ruth, Herb, and Elias that cake has to wait until dinner.” came the sullen reply. All six of the bunny kids hung their head in misery.

“And I assume you want it now?”

The bunny children eagerly nodded in unison. Their little tower swayed for a moment from the small weight change, but the six were able to readjust quickly.

“Why didn't you guys get Vanitas?” Sabrina then wondered, casting them a suspicious glance.

“Van-Van is napping now.” one of the bunny kids told her. The others gave a solemn nod in agreement.

“But why Ventus too?”

“Sabreenie always hides Ven-Ven.” the bunny kid on top told her.

“We want to play now!” the others happily chorused.

“In other words,” their adoptive older sister mused as she leaned against her door frame, “You need a scapegoat.”

“Why would they need a scapegoat?” Ven curiously wondered, appearing by Sabrina's side. His girlfriend looked back at him with a disinterested raise of her eyebrow.

“When you give a bunny kid a cake,” she informed him, “Nothing after will go down in your favor.”

Now it was Ventus's turn to give her a funny look. He looked back at the bunny kids and saw their pitiful little faces. It was absolutely heartbreaking seeing their long faces; Ven could already hear a few random bars from Sarah McLachlan's Angel playing in the distance. 'In the arms of a bunny child...'

“Aw, come on Sabi,” he tried to gently tease, “Look at them. Look at those sad little faces...”

There wasn't even a moment of hesitation before she spat, “Those are the same faces they make before half the house gets set on fire.”

The bunny children let out a unified sound of surprise, then gave her a rather prude raspberry. Even with her being a good 13 years older than them, Sabrina retaliated with a raspberry of her own.

“You know,” Ven gently said to her, “You're not much different.” To the bunny kids proper, he said, “I'll help you.”

Unified squeal of joy came from the bunny kids as they hopped off each other and into Sabrina's room. Once everyone was in her room, Sabrina grimaced as she shut the door. The bunny kids might have been small, but with all six it still seemed like there wasn't enough room for everyone. Sabrina sat back down on her bed as Ven and the bunny kids started with their game plan.

“Our plan is simple,” he told the kids with a sense of mirth, “Ortensia usually leaves the cake in the fridge before we actually eat it. To avoid a crumb trail -literally- we should take it to the laundry room. All we really need to do is get some plates and forks from the…”

“This isn't going to work.”

Ventus and the bunny children looked over at Sabrina with the same look of bewilderment. It was Ven who soon gave her a rather cheeky grin before asking, “Jealous because our plan doesn't involve you?”

“Hardly.” Sabrina snorted. “While it is rather smart to eat it in the laundry room, Ortensia will hear you all clatter around the kitchen like a batch of chickens with their heads cut off.”

Ven's face immediately fell. “Oh.”

“This is where a divide and conquer plan would come in handy.” Sabrina went on, moving herself so the other seven could get a better look at her. She even pulled out the mancala board to better illustrate her plans. “Half of the six will go distract Terra and Aqua by directing them outside, the other half will keep Ortensia upstairs. Maybe Oswald too, but he's either-or in this kind of situation.”

“But who's getting the cake?” Ven asked, looking up at her with a curious tilt of his head.

“You are.” she claimed. “Alone.”

“Why just me?”

“Because I am making this plan foolproof, and I don't want to get between Ortensia while she's in guest kisser mode.”

Ventus recoiled a little and didn't look at her directly when he mumbled, “I wouldn't say Aqua, Terra, and I are guests...”

“You're not,” Sabrina affirmed with a huff, “But try telling Tense that.”

Ven let out a contemplative hum before looking down at the bunny kids. They looked back up at him with wide, adoring eyes that practically read 'isn't our big sister the best?' When he turned to Sabrina again, Ventus admittedly (and rather embarrassingly) zoned out slightly as she went over the plan to her siblings. There was a sense of concentration etched into her furrowed eyebrows as she went on. If she wasn't so interested in fashion and aesthetics, Sabrina would have made a good strategist.

“Roy, Ray, and Junior, take Ortensia upstairs and be loud about it. Junior might want to cause an 'accident' in the bathroom to be sure. Pops can jump in on that if it's real bad, so he's out of your hair too. Ruth, Elias, and Herb, your job is probably the easiest because Aqua and Terra love the stuffing out of you. Take them outside and show them your jack-o-lanterns. They should still be standing perky after a month. If not, make up a sob story of how much hard work you put into them and now they're rotting. Get some waterworks going and Terra will be eating out of the palm of your hand. All in all, you can only hold Mom's attention for about ten minutes before she figures something is up. Ven should have gotten the cake by then, so let's make that our time limit. Everyone good? Good. Break.”

“Break!” the bunny children immediately repeated with a clap of their hands. The six of them immediately left Sabrina's room to do as they were instructed. Ven remained where he was for a moment. Sabrina looked at him, a soft smirk appeared on her face.

“You didn't hear a word of that, did you?” she asked him.

“Of course I did!” he told her as he stood up. “I just gotta wait for the Six to clear everyone from the kitchen, then I've got less than 10 minutes to take the cake from the fridge and to the laundry room.”

A small snicker came from his girlfriend as she shook her head. “Good guess.” she gently teased. “Now go steal that cake before Ortensia finds out.”

. . .

Sabrina could deny it all she wanted, but the bunny kids got their sense of stealth from her. Or maybe the plan she made really was foolproof. Ventus waited out in the living room while the bunny kids tried to distract their respective roadblocks. Terra and Aqua had been easy targets; at least one of the bunny kids hopping into Terra's arms, and the other two tugging at Aqua's skirt to get her attention. Ortensia was harder to budge. It took two bunny kids to finally make her crack- running down the stairs (how they got up undetected to begin with was beyond Ven) in hysteria.

Just to be sure though, Ventus did wait an extra minute or so before going into the kitchen. He tried to walk as casually as possible, but the sudden anticipation of getting caught made him want to walk on tiptoes. He did find it rather hilarious that Sabrina as indirectly trying to help hide the noise he could have made in the kitchen- not that Cheyenne Kimball's One Original Thing was the best soundtrack to this moment.

Ventus carefully peeled the door to the refrigerator open and nearly let out a sigh of relief to see that cake was placed on one of the higher shelves. It had to be a higher shelf because of the Six, even if they attempted a bunny stack, but it must have been too high for Oswald and Ortensia too. Terra or Aqua must have placed it up there. For Ven, it was an easily reach and careful extraction. He set the cake down on the counter with care.

Ortensia had really outdone herself with the cake's presentation. Looking to be about three tiers, the cake was covered entirely with chocolate frosting with hand piped rosettes around the top edge. In the center was a neatly twirled covering of whipped cream, hand cut chocolate strips decorated the top of it. For a moment, Ven almost felt bad that he was an accessory to a soon to be cake murder by six ravenous 4 year olds.

Almost.

“Cake is for after dinner, Ventus.”

Nearly jumping out of his skin, Ven quickly tried to find the source of the voice before noticing Vanitas coming down the staircase. His twin had an undeniable smirked etched on his face. Seeing it made Ven's blood run cold.

“What are you doing in the kitchen?” he questioned. It sounded so accusatory, as if Ventus himself wasn't trying to do something that would have warranted the wrath of some very angry adults.

“Woke up from my nap and the wabbits weren't there.” came the reply, simple as day. “Came downstairs to harass Terra, I guess, and here I run into you…” Vanitas looked his older twin up and down with a smirk on his face before asking, “What'cha gonna do with that cake, Ven?”

“Eat it.” came the automatic answer. Ventus immediately flinched upon hearing himself. This answer only seemed to amuse Vanitas as he got closer.

“All alone?” he snorted. “I doubt that very seriously.” That was when a certain thought crossed his mind that almost made him laugh hard enough to tears. “This is a cover up operation! Hate to break it to you Ven-Ven, but giving Sabreenie a whole cake isn't gonna help with her seasonal depression.”

Ventus's face immediately scrunched into distaste. “She doesn't have...” he tried to argue, but was soon distracted when one of the bunny kids came down the staircase. The tiny four year old gave the cake a look, drooled a little, and in realizing that Vanitas was there, got right back into action.

“Hey there, squeaky.” Vanitas greeted when the little rabbit jumped high enough to be noticed. “What's eating you?”

But the bunny kid was speaking so quickly, it was hard to follow exactly what they were trying to tell Vanitas. Knowing that the message wasn't easily going through, the bunny kid changed tactics, leading Vanitas into the living room. Ven could only watch in a small awe as Vanitas willingly followed the bunny kid. Apparently Terra wasn't the only pushover when it came to them…

Ven shook his head. The mission was almost a success, and with the unexpected roadblock gone, he had to finish the deed. Carefully picking up the cake again, Ventus made his way around to the laundry room. It was no hassle in setting the cake down on top of the dryer. Letting out a small sound of relief, Ven wiped an imaginary bead of sweat from his brow. He left the laundry room as quietly as he entered it. The mission was accomplished- now all he needed to do was tell the bunny kids and possibly get them a spoon or two.

Going into the living room did lead to a small shock. Somehow, the bunny kid that had gone to distract Vanitas had gotten the teenager to go back to sleep. It took everything it had in Ventus not to let out an unflattering snort. When the bunny kid noticed him, Ven was given a doe eyed look of question. At his nod, the bunny kid let out a happy, “Thank you!” before bounding off to get the others. It was rather adorable, honestly, and Ven felt good about himself as he went into the kitchen to get spoons for the seven of them.

He didn't expect for all six of the bunny children to beat him back into the laundry room by the bunny kids. Someone really needed to come up with a reason why these kids were so fast. It didn't seem right.

“Ven-Ven helped us...” the oldest of the bunny children decided.

“So he gets first slice!” the others finished off with a solemn nod.

Ven chuckled a little. He took his spoon and made a rather generous scoop of cake. Normally, doing such a thing would have physically hurt him. But at the moment, knowing that the cake wasn't going to survive much longer, he chose to ignore it.

“I think this is all I need.” he decided out loud. He gave them all a smile before adding, “Thank you.”

“Is it for Sabreenie?” one of the bunny children curiously wondered. But Ven looked at them for a moment before giving a sly wink. The bunny kids went into a flurry of giggles as Ven started to leave. A smile was also pressed into the corners of Ventus's lips. Sabrina had been a major factor in their cake heist, so of course she deserved a piece of it too. Sure, cake might not help much with seasonal depression, but at least it could show that he still cared about her. And that, for now, was enough.

QNA #2

And last, but not least, a little story I wrote way back in August with the origins of the Spy Crew, adding to the lore. Whoops. Yes my mind went that way.

COVER:

~~•°☆♡○♧○♡☆°•~~

Agent Punny sighed deeply. How did it get to this point? How come her job doesn't bring any joy anymore? She was looking at the new recruits training, going back in her mind to what could've started all of this mess.

It started out really well. Her skills proved to be very useful in the agency, and she became the top newbie in a matter of weeks. The best agent, Agent King, invited her personally to pass the hardest test of all - becoming his partner. Nobody has passed it before, until Punny proved herself to be worthy.

She was ecstatic, for she admired him from day one. He was funny, had good work ethic and just was so super cool... And she wanted to get to know him better. At first, being the partner of the Best Agent of C.R.O.W.N. (Crime fighting Rentless Operators Whamming No good) was the best job ever. She got to spend with him every single day, going on epic missions full of danger and action. He did most of the action though, Agent Punny was very observant and helped Agent King to get through all sorts of tough situations.

Unfortunately...

Agent King turned out to be a complete workaholic. He would care only about doing a good job, and he seemed to be enjoying what he does, but Agent Punny wanted something more. She did everything in her power to grab his attention, but he only saw her as a friend and a partner. It was bumming her out a lot, to the point of having a slightly worse work performance.

She remembered it clearly - that day she almost sent Meme King to his death, by forgetting to tell him about an acid trap laid down by the enemy. They were sitting on a bridge, waiting for C.R.O.W.N. bus to pick them up, along with the bad guys...

But before Agent King could confront her about it, a guy looking just like Agent King approached them. He was immediately accepted to C.R.O.W.N., due to having great powers and high morals, and in a matter of a week, he was accepted as one of the top agents, breaking all the records the company had before. The guy was dubbed Agent King Junior, for being an almost exact copy of Agent King.

What Punny found, however, is a new friend. She was bouncing between both Agent King's, going on different missions together. But it didn't improve her mood much. While Agent King Jr. turned out to be a very good friend, he wasn't all alone and there was no way Punny was going to ruin somebody's relationship over her selfish desires.

That quickly changed on the faithful day, when C.R.O.W.N. discovered the man behind many of the troubles the company faced. His name was...

"Doctor Fell?" Agent King Junior scratched his head, as he and Agent Punny were looking through the files.

"This is a side mission the HQ has given us. In between missions we must spy at him and find out everything that we can." Agent King has already read the file and was instructing his young colleagues.

"But there's not much to read," Agent Punny raised the only sheet of paper that they had on the guy.

"The agents that tried to do research on him, have all mysteriously disappeared, so it's up to us to get the data on him." Agent King had tossed a different file towards Agent Punny. "Me and Tori will have to go on the next mission, so the first phase of data gathering falls on you."

She was looking at the bad quality photo of Dr. Fell in the files, thinking that it would be nice to have a better look. There was a written description, of course, so that it would be easier to identify him, but that side mission was for another time.

Or so she thought.

Apparently, their next mission involved stopping somebody from spreading a chemical with who-knows-what to a building full of innocent people, who turned out to be Dr. Fell himself, in flesh (or, rather, bone). Both she and Agent King had a good look at Fell, before he escaped, not before they managed to stop him from poisoning an entire building. As she suspected, his golden tooth and wide grin looked better in person. And his coat looked absolutely badass, making him look really cool. Agent Punny kept reminding herself that Fell was an enemy.

That night Agent King and King Jr. located the house Fell was living in and tried getting in, but were almost killed by the traps set by the Doctor. Their clothing was all scratched and cut, and Agent King had a piranha stuck to his cloak, but they were all alive and well, and brought a lot of data to the company.

Ever since then, both Agent King's and Agent Punny were rotating in spying at Dr. Fell. Agent Kings mostly tried getting as much data on the traps as possible, and she was spying on Fell whenever he got out in public in civilian clothes.

Little did they know that Doctor Fell was completely aware of the eyes on his house and himself. He was really annoyed at the fact that a couple of stubborn idiots were sticking their noses, where they weren't suppose to. He didn't want them to know what's he's been experimenting on, and went an extra mile to set up high security around his house and motion detectors with mini cameras on his neighbours houses. Eventually, Agent Kings were getting more and more traps, and spent a lot of time disabling them, but they could never make it in time. Fell made a habit of going out for not more than an hour at the time, which sort of annoyed Agent King, who had never had trouble with traps beforehand.

He also noticed that some goat lady monster was seemingly following him around, whenever he went out. Intrigued, he decided to lure her closer, thinking she had something to do with those annoying skeletons in his backyard. She was definitely not bad looking, from the footage he'd seen of her spying on his house.

Agent Punny was appointed to spy on Doctor Fell all the time, for Agent Kings got busy with plenty of missions she wasn’t aware of. Though whenever they got free, they would check on her or even replace her, if she was falling from exhaustion. To Fell’s disappointment, the goat lady was never truly alone. She would either be with those pesky skeletons, or other agents of all sorts, and she would always be nice to them. He sometimes teleported to listen to what they were talking about, and not too long after that he decided to pursue after Agent Punny and spend a night with her.

And, oh boy, did he succeed… But she was getting ahead of herself.

Whenever she was alone or wasn’t looking, he’d slip little notes and gifts in her surroundings and even her pockets. Agent Punny was rather puzzled, but it didn’t take her too long to figure out who it was from. She did notice a skeleton hand putting a flower in her pocket once and, in the rare instances she was left alone, one time he opened up the window on the front and blatantly waved at her! Something irked her to keep this attention to herself, though. It was mysterious and special. Eventually, she was looking forward for those little things and she kept every single note to herself. Just like Fell hoped and planned.

And none of the C.R.O.W.N. agents could get close even to the front door.

But then, it happened. Something that would completely change her outlook on things.

One hot afternoon, after a night in a casino, she didn't have time to change to casual clothing from her field dress, so she was hanging out around Fell's house, looking at the front door, being totally fabulous. She remembered, how the sun was burning everybody alive, and how loudly nature made itself known with the birds and the insects singing together in chaotic harmony. She was under a tree shade, though, so the sun wasn't as bad on her fur. To her surprise, she heard a voice from behind her back:

"Hey there, Sweet Momma, I've noticed you've been hanging out around my house a lot."

It. Was. Fell!!! Her heart started to beat fast, and she tried to keep her cool, but she suddenly started sweating and her cheeks turned red involuntarily. Thankfully her shades were shielding her panicked eyes. She noticed him getting closer as he said just loud enough for her to hear:

"Why don't you come over and have a cup of coffee?"

He was inviting her to his house?! WHAT??? How did it even-

The next thing she knew is that she was sitting in his living room, holding a cup of iced coffee and him sipping his own coffee next to her. Her cheeks were red from how flustered she felt. She just stared at her mug and muttered:

"I don't even like coffee..."

She could hear Fell putting down his half empty mug on the coffee table, and reaching for her mug, levitating it with his magic.

"Well, you don't have to drink it if you don't want to."

Her special C.R.O.W.N. mobile device started vibrating in her pocket, getting Agent Punny's head back in place just enough.

"I-I really shouldn't be here-"

"Ssshhh..." her sunglasses were lifted up with magic and her eyes met with his. When did she turn her head?

"They can wait after we have some fun~"

He knew that at this point, she wouldn’t say no.

"Ah-"

___

"AGENT PUNNY!!!"

She snapped back into reality, and turned towards her colleague Agent Screen, that has been calling for her for the past minute.

"Are you alright? You've been zoning out a lot for the past hour without moving an inch."

"Ah... Mmm, I'm alright." She stood straight up and stretched, bringing relief to her stiff body.

"You sure? We're all worried about you."

She noticed other agents were looking at her with worry in their eyes, making her smile nervously.

"Well, don't worry about me, I'm really fine. Maybe tired a bit. I'm gonna go to the chill room and grab a snack or something..."

She waved to the agents that were looking at her and hurried to the lounge. Agent Screen coughed and fixed the screen on his head, as the Special Forces caretaker Agent Dance asked:

"Was it me, or was she smiling the second before she snapped back to reality?"

___

Drinking some tea and munching on a sandwich, she was sitting in her favorite spot in the corner, where she could watch other agents come and go. Agent Cocoa was snoring on one of the couches and Agent Scram seemed to be very busy with his documents. She wanted to get her situation sorted out, so she tried to remember what was the last thing she was thinking about...

... Oh that.

She still remembered what happened that day and night. They were definitely having LOTS of fun. The next morning she woke up in Fells bedroom, completely naked and alone, in shock of what had happened. She sat up, looking for her dress, which had been carefully laid on a chair next to the bed. Grabbing the blanket to cover herself, she got to her dress and pulled it towards herself, searching for her C.R.O.W.N. mobile device. She flipped it open, to see at least a 50 missed calls and around a 100 new messages. Knowing that the 10 agents that tried to contact her must be worried sick, so she wrote her superior, Agent King, that she had infiltrated the house...

... But why does she feel so bad about telling on Fell to the CROWN HQ?

Punny sent the message and sat on the bed, with the blanket covering her front and her hands pressed against the chin. It didn't take her long to realize why she was feeling bad.

"Good morning, hun~" she heard and felt a peck on the cheer.

I don't want to work for C.R.O.W.N. anymore, she thought.

She felt something being put on her knees. It was a plate with bacon, eggs and thick pancakes, complete with a side of mustard being poured all over the bacon.

"Breakfast is served~"

At first she smiled and thought that it was a really nice gesture, but then she remembered who was she with.

"I can't eat this! What if you laced it with poison?!"

Fell looked as if he was deeply insulted.

"Why would I poison the food I eat myself?"

As to prove her wrong, he grabbed a piece of bacon off her plate and ate it in front of her. She just stared at him and started giggling. She had a good knack for when people were lying, and this was not the case here.

That was a start of a very weird relationship. She never reported on what she did with Fell in his house, but she did report on some other things. Like how he said that she's welcome to come over anytime. Agent Punny didn't use the privilege often, though. Mainly because her co-worker friends wouldn’t leave her side anymore.

He'd start bringing her tea at times or other snack food and chit chat when the other agents weren't looking. They had a lot in common, surprisingly, and the chats were always warming her heart. Sometimes he would tease her, by kissing her in front of other agents and flipping them off before disappearing... And the more Fell did that, the more the thought returned to her head.

I don't want to work for C.R.O.W.N. anymore.

I don't want to work for C.R.O.W.N. anymore!

I DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR C.R.O.W.N. ANYMORE!!!

She looked at the empty paper cup in her hand with a wet teabag on the bottom of it. Is she really ready to leave the agency she's been apart of for many years now? Two months ago she'd say no.

"Tori! Quick!" Agent King teleported to the room, disturbing Agent Scram’s documents, making them fly all over the room, and ran up to her. "We've got information of Dr. Fell!"

She looked rather calm. "What's wrong?"

"We've got information on where that evildoer will appear next! He's got some evil plan going on! Make sure to look presentable!" He teleported away with a pop.

"Oh boy..."

Dolly doings, sewing, mod project

Here's my drawer of MSD clothes after the Great Reorganisation. (MSD added for scale, he doesn’t usually live in there XD;) Now, all my MSD clothes, hats and scarves fit into this one drawer (originally built to hold my arch files for school - which I left a loooong time ago).

I was hoping to also fit my Yo-SD clothes in there, but I don’t think that will work, especially as I continue to sew more things. I might be able to squeeze in one last baggie of MSD socks and stockings, though.

I’m currently working on a jinbei top for Tatsue, and it’s coming along swimmingly! It’s very gratifying to return to something that used to give me trouble before (Japanese-style collars, in this case), and realise that I’ve now gotten enough experience that I can deal with them quite easily. ^-^ For those interested, I’m using an SD13 boy pattern scaled down to MSD size, along with the (Japanese) sewing instructions provided at Usako’s sewing studio (linked in the “Resources” tab on my main Tumblr page).

I’m a little afraid to think about the massive mod project that awaits me in getting Niella’s head to fit on my new Chibi Unoa body. >_< The Chibi Unoa body is the perfect size to be in scale with both my Volks minis and Yo-SD’s. I really like how shapely it is, especially around the legs, and I think Niella will look adorable... once I manage to get him on it. To begin with, I’ll have to cut off a fair amount of resin from the neck, and then re-build it with epoxy or some other substance, before I even move on to making a neck connector for the MNF head (those inner edges are sharp!) and think about colour-matching... Urk. It’s intimidating, to say the least. I guess I don’t mind the customisation aspect of this hobby, but I would much rather be spending my time making clothes or shoes, y’know?

Speaking of shoes, I really want to make some which are custom-fitted to the Chibi Unoa feet! The soles of their feet are very contoured - I am wondering if I can somehow curve the insoles to fit them if I dampen the leather first??... :o I’m eager to experiment.

I should also get around to putting my Bluefairy Junior body up for sale, since the Chibi Unoa has supplanted it. Whilst I have it, though, I want to take some comparison photos of all the bodies I currently own. I only owned one brand of doll for 15 years, and this year I suddenly have parts from five different companies in the house XD (Volks, Miyadoll, Fairyland, Bluefairy, Alchemic Lab).

Hi, I'm new to this blog, so I'll do a few asks. How did you get into anime and manga, what was your first series and what do you think of them now looking back?

Oh, gosh! Well, I’m not as old-school as many other fans, who literally grew up watching Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, etc. But my history is still a decade old! (Crazy…)

This will be a long ramble. You’ve been warned.

It all started with a manga series called Vampire Knight. I was 16, toward the end of my junior year in my high school. My high school bff, who grew up watching anime and reading manga, and had been trying to convert me for YEARS, was obsessed with VK and begged me to read it. I begrudgingly complied, but because I was so unfamiliar with the “right-to-left” reading style, she had me practice reading manga with two little HarleyQuinn romance manga (sooooo technically, they were my first manga, though I don’t count them, obviously XD) Thus, somewhat adjusted to the concept of reading manga style, I dove into Vampire Knight’s first 6 volumes.

And fell head over heels in LOVE.

To this day, VK remains my favorite manga of all time. (Literally, just look up “Vampire Knight” tag on my blog, and you’ll get the idea ^^”) My high school friend then introduced me to other manga: Chobits, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Maid-Sama! (the first couple volumes), The Gentleman’s Alliance Cross, Kitchen Princess, Chibi Vampire, Alice in the Country of Hearts, and Captive Hearts. On my own, I also read Cybor Idol Mink, FairyCube, Absolute Boyfriend, etc, as well continued to follow Vampire Knight’s new releases, of course. All of this, over the course of roughly three years. Then, after we parted ways, I continued browsing for more manga, one of which was Inuyasha (which, of course, started a WHOLE different obsession!), and also, Magic Knight Rayearth, Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden, and Fruits Basket.

But I mostly avoided anime if I could help it. I honestly can’t say what bugged me about the animation style, but I felt reluctant to move past my comfort zone. So by the time I hit 20, I read several manga titles and started several more, but only ever watched the three Sailor Moon movies (courtesy of my aforementioned friend), Vampire Knight’s first season, Karin (based on Chibi Vampire), and a few episodes of Inuyasha.

Then, Ouran HighSchool Host Club happened. And the snowball began to roll down….

….. until it became the massive avalanche that was Guilty Crown (courtesy of my current bff). From then on, I couldn’t get enough! I began watching the Inuyasha anime in earnest (while still trying to finish the manga online), and also fell in love with several other titles: Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! (which I still think is superior to the manga; I finally finished the damn manga a year ago… >.>), Romeo x Juliet, Toradora!, Clannad, Cowboy Bebop, Hetalia, Ano Hana, Yu Yu Hakusho, Ah! My Goddess, Madoka Magica, Sailor Moon Crystal and the original anime (yes, it took me forever, but I finally became more of a Sailor Moon fan by my mid-20′s XD), Noragami, Kamisama Kiss, Attack on Titan, Yuri on Ice, Fushigi Yuugi, FullMetal Alchemist, etc etc, plus so, so, so, so, soooooooooooooooo many other titles in this last year alone!

Looking back? I love them all, even if I do acknowledge that some of my earlier titles were, ah, rather silly and mediocre (Please Teacher!, Kaze no Stigma, Rosario + Vampire) or downright ridiculously angsty and problematic (Vampire Knight, Angel Sanctuary, Alice in the Country of Hearts). Hehe…. ^^” There are a few titles I never cared for (Cybor Idol Mink and Absolute Boyfriend), but now, if I get invested enough to read/watch something, I’m gonna at least enjoy it, even if it’s not the best thing ever.

So…. yeah. That’s my manga/anime story in a nutshell. ^.^

Student Profile: Yang Xiao Long

“Heyo, I’m Yang! Let’s fight! Hah, just kidding, just gonna introduce myself like the rest of you... My full name is Yang Xiao Long, and I’m the sister - well, technically half-sister, it’s complicated - of Ruby Rose. As a supporting character of RoosterTeeth’s RWBY, I’ve got top billing as a major character and have gone through a number of important character arcs! ...some less pleasant than others, admittedly, but... yeah. I don’t wanna talk about those. Hopefully I should have a better time as a student at HTI!

“In the first three volumes of my home series, I was 17 years old and 5′8″, though since my weight hasn’t been stated in canon let’s go with the average estimate of 140.0 pounds for a guy my age (I’m actually a bit taller than the 5′4″ average!). After certain, um, things that happened at the end of Volume 3, I’m now 18 years old in canon as of the timeskip - and if you say I’ve lost weight because of those events, there’s gonna be a round or two from Ember Celica with your name on it! That’s the name of my weapon set, by the way, a custom pair of shotgun gauntlets capable of literally packing a devastating punch. Oh also, as with Ruby you can interact with me pre-timeskip, post-timeskip, as an HTI student, or as my Chibi counterpart! Just ask which specific version of me you wanna speak to and keep the stuff with chibi me work-safe, will you?

“My voice actress, Barbara Dunkelman, has said that my character was described to her as 'the kind of person who would teach someone how to swim by pushing them in the water'. Guess that speaks volumes about how I approach things in life - from what I’ve heard, Blake once referred to me as the personification of strength. I’m not sure if that's in a good way or not so much, but I do know I’m straightforward, energetic, and sociable, but also flippant, aggressive, and self-confident. The stuff that happened to me during and after Volume 3 may have tempered some of the bad aspects of my nature - character development, folks! - but I’ve never stopped being awesome and have actually learned to work around the fallout from the nastier experiences of mine. You can count on me to get back up whenever I’m pushed down - no matter how long it takes.

“In the HTI setting, I’m a junior student in the Sports and Exercise Science program with a focus on martial arts specifically (since my fighting style is heavily geared towards CQC), though I’m also considering a focus on physical therapy and rehabilitation. Naturally, aside from Ruby, Nora, and any other playable RWBY muses the dean may add to the already stupidly long list, this means I’m mostly in cahoots with people who share the same fighting spirit and boisterous nature as I do. Among the faculty I appreciate the Wii Fit Trainers the most and take regular classes from them, and regularly spar with either of them to hone my combat skills and sometimes even both at once just so I don’t get rusty at handling multiple opponents. Their rivalry with each other amuses me and I like egging them on but I’ve been known to break up petty squabbling between them if I catch them at it while visiting during office hours. As for other students, Astrid Hofferson has always appealed to me for her strength both physically and emotionally, and we train together every so often as well as sharing our respective softer sides and reflections on our character development. I’ve been teaching her for a while now about hand-to-hand combat with somewhat mixed success. Eijiro Kirishima shares the same amount of spunk and playfulness that I do and actually shares a few classes with me, if only so he can get better at his athletics and understanding the whole Quirk stuff thing going on with him; I’ve actually been on missions with him before and man, have you seen the kid fight? And lastly, special shout-out to Ben Tennyson, who’s one of the last people I expected to become buddies with since we’re from vastly different universes, literally, but he’s got a ton of potential for heroism, though being who he is, he’s sometimes needed just a nudge in the right direction, which I’ve been working to provide consistently. He in turn trusts my judgement and has actually visited me before to open up about himself - most recently her concerns about how his, um, creators have been treating him as of late...

“So there you have it. That’s me, the Sunny Little Dragon! If you wanna talk, RP, or maybe even spar with me, just call. Let’s start off my experience as a playable character with a bang - or rather a Yang, if you will!”

Mini Drabble Episodes

Sooooo this has been floating around in my head for a bit and it just recently came back with a vengeance so I thought I'd attempt to get it on paper.

This is actually legitimately what I have experienced and how I have reacted when people have realized how small my hands really are (my cousin who is almost a decade younger than me has larger hands than I do. I don't fit adult gloves/mittens. I fit children's sizing best. I can also squeeze into toddler ones sometimes.)

Now if only everyone could react like sweet, darling Iggy... Sigh.

On with the show!

Pairings: reader x ignis

Warnings: self conscious reader; past emotional bullying

And yes, I do headcannon that the boys would call me chibi because everyone I know likes to tease me with how short I am. Also, Ive only ever played the game with the Japanese audio so I'm quite used to thinking of the boys speaking in Japanese rather than English.

----

"If everyone takes their own plate and drink, we should be able to bring everything to the table in one go." Ignis reasoned as he roped you and the rest of the boys into helping set up dinner.

Although usually you would all simply sit in your respective camp chairs and eat your meal from there, today's supper was more of a build your own style that Noctis had recently gotten into after a brief "weekly special" build your own taco craze at the Crow's Nest. It definitely wasn't because it was harder for Ignis to smuggle veggies onto his plate if he wasn't the one dishing it up.

Years of military camp training had the three other boys lining up single file to receive the plates and cups that Ignis was handing out, you trailing at the end behind Gladio who, due to his height, literally cast a shadow on you in the dimming sunset.

Stomachs grumbling, the boys eagerly accepted their plates with a mumbled thanks and scurried over to the makeshift table, where the rest of the condiments were waiting to be put on the soft tortilla laying on the individual dishes.

"Here you go, Chibi," Ignis smiled at you as you stepped up for your turn, handing you the large dish with a gloved hand. Without much thought, you accepted it with both hands as was customary for you.

When the boys had first noticed this little quirk about you, they had simply written it off as you bring extremely polite (you also had a tendency to bow when accepting things from others so what else were they to think?) But in actuality, there was a much more embarrassing reason for your odd habit.

Simply put, your hands were smaller than average.

You didn't accept things with two hands because of your manners - you did it out of fucking necessity. You had never really thought much of your hand size - because really, it looked proportional to your body- until you had started the Handball unit in your Junior high physical education class. Struggling with the different techniques of holding the ball, you eventually had to ask your instructor for help because clearly there was something that you weren't getting.

Only for it to become quite apparent that it wasn't the technique that you were messing up... It was that you literally didn't have large enough hands to hold the ball.

At first, you didn't really think much of it. So what if you couldn't hold the ball? You were sure there had to have been someone else who had this problem before you.

How wrong you were. The laughter of your instructor at your situation only invited others to come investigate what was so funny, until you were the center of attention and desperately trying to hide your hands from people who wanted to 'just compare'.

Thus, when Ignis proceeded to hand you your cup, your right hand froze mid way in the air and hovered awkwardly as if Shiva herself had cast Diamond Dust on you.

"Chibi?" Ignis looked at you questioningly as you quickly pulled your long sleeves over your fists and gripped the fabric in your palms, successfully sealing your appendage inside your sweater.

Ignoring the odd stares you were getting, you fought down the rush of heat flooding your cheeks as you scurried to deposit your plate on the table and return for your cup.

As you reached out both hands - still encased in your sweater - to receive the beverage container, Ignis pulled back slightly and frowned. "Is there something wrong with your hands?"

Green eyes widened slightly in worry as the tactician's sharp mind flew through various conclusions.

"Did you hurt your hands in the fight with the Garulas earlier?"

"No!" You quickly yanked the cup into your covered hands and huddled into yourself, trying to dispel the attention on you. "I'm not hurt. Just... Don't worry about it, okay?"

Casting a quick glance back towards the table, you saw the other three staring right back at you with worried faces accentuated by the soft flickering light if the fire.

You flashed them your best reassuring smile, "I'm fine, everyone. Seriously. Thank you for worrying about me, but I think we should all start eating before Iggy's wonderful meal goes cold."

Prompto frowned at you a little bit before mumbling an agreement, Gladio and Noctis reluctantly following suit.

The breath you weren't aware you had trapped in your lungs rushed out with a whoosh; you could always count on Prompto to be the more emotionally sensitive one and he had clearly noticed that there was something that you didn't want to share. Of course you weren't stupid enough to hide something potentially hazardous to your health, so the blonde figured that if you wanted to share, you would do it in your own time.

Thankfully, the rest of the meal went off without a hitch and you slowly felt the tension draining out of you. However you couldn't help but notice that Ignis was scrutinizing you from his peripherals, firelight glancing off his immaculate spectacles. There was just something about the way you hid your hands so hastily that bothered him, and he couldn't help the small ball of worry that was forming in his gut.

It wasn't until after the dishes had been washed and dried that the advisor managed to corner you alone in the tent.

"Chibi?"

You turned your head to greet your favourite chocobro with a smile, your arms buried elbows deep in your travel bag digging around for a comb.

"Hey Iggy, have you seen my brush anywhere? I can't find it in my bag and Gladio swore he didn't take it this time." Letting out an undignified snort, you rolled your eyes at the Shield's earlier protest of innocence. You had caught him stealing it twice already as he had a terrible habit of breaking his own, and being the only other person with longer hair, you became the unfortunate victim of his theivery.

"I do believe I saw it in your bed roll," Ignis supplied, his velvet voice caressing you as he moved over towards your spot in the tent and flipped over your blanket to reveal your prize.

A satisfied hum left your lips and you brushed past the warmth radiating off Ignis' body. As you turned around to leave and continue with your business, you found yourself with a faceful of chest encased in a white pinstriped dress shirt.

If that didn't startle you enough, the hand that came to grip you at the bend in your left elbow definitely had you stumbling a step backwards.

"Y/N..."

Wide, panicked eyes met sea foam and his grip tightened by a miniscule fraction. Recognizing the desire to bolt, Ignis moved his towering frame to completely obstruct your view of the exit, successfully trapping you near the corner of the tent.

"Let me see your hands. I cannot think of any reason other than an injury that would cause you to go to such lengths to hide." His voice coaxed you and you could see the worry etched in his frown. A worry, that only seemed to increase as the panic in your eyes grew.

Yanking your arm back, you tucked your fists into your sides and sank down until your knees acted as a protective barrier for your crossed arms.

"M'fine Iggy..." You mumbled, trying to keep the tears out of your eyes.

Ignis felt his heart constrict at your vulnerable position before him.

"Chibi... You're clearly not fine if you're reacting like I'm going to hurt you. I just want to check to make sure you do not have any physical wounds that I can make better rather than letting you suffer in silence."

A large gentle hand rested on the crown of your head, stroking back your hair in a soothing manner. The soft rustling of clothes signaled that the graceful fighter had moved to sit down in front of you as he continued his stroking. Although your heart was still beating a mile a minute, you felt your tremors slowly subside under the tried and true method he knew would work on calming you down.

Unfurling a little to look at his face, you felt guilt rise in you as you noted the unabashed concern that Ignis only ever displayed for you. Though your eyes were blurred with tears, the pleading look in his emerald orbs were clear as day and had you slowly settling down cross legged, your shins touching his left one as his right leg was raised and supporting his arm.

"I'm not hurt..." You sniffled, refusing to avert your gaze from anywhere other than the fabric bunched up at the end of your sleeve where your hands were fisted.

Wordlessly, Ignis pulled off his gloves and set them down beside him, his eyes never wavering from your hunched body.

Palms up, he offered you his own hands silently, a peace offering showing that he was willing to go at whatever pace you needed to, but also that he wanted your trust.

Another pitiful sniffle escaped you as you took a shuddering breath and slowly placed your hands in his and unfurled your fists, letting the fabric loosen over your knuckles. Slowly, as not to startle you, Ignis gently brushed back the material and exposed your limp fingers and palm.

You felt the tell tale signs of a blush creeping up your neck as you stubbornly stared at a spec of lint on the floor by your knee.

"...I just couldn't hold the cup, is all... My hands are too small."

Ignis stared blankly at you like he couldn't quite understand what you had just muttered.

What do you mean your hands were too small?? He had never thought to pay attention to such a thing and they looked normal enough on you the few times he actually did notice them.

From the corner of your eye, you caught the confused expression adorning usually handsome features and you let out a defeated sigh.

Removing your left hand from Ignis' grip, you turned it so that your palm faced him, fingers stretched out, in an unspoken request for him to place his own against yours in comparison.

As expected, his hand completely dwarfed your own; the tips of your fingers barely reaching to the base of his. Honestly, you were pretty sure that he could enclose your entire fist in his own without any trouble.

In another world where you hadn't been teased relentlessly in your teens, you would have found it comical how it looked like it was a toddler comparing hand sizes with a grown man rather than two adults of the same age.

The silence hung between the two of you until suddenly, you heard Ignis let out a breathy chuckle, startling your gaze back towards him.

"Is that all it was, Chibi?" He huffed lightly, his lips curving upwards, softening his entire facial expression. Green eyes bore into yours as you watched him bring your hand up to his mouth and press a small lingering kiss to your palm.

"You do not have to be embarrassed about your hand size," repeating the action with your other hand, you couldn't help but flush at how intimate the gesture kissing your palms had felt. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with it in the slightest."

"In fact," he continued, voice nothing but a low rumble in his chest, expression oozing love and fondness, "I find it quite adorable."

This time, the tears that sprung to your eyes were for an entirely different reason as you felt your heart swell with overwhelming love for the man in front of you.

Throwing caution to the wind, you launched yourself at him and he barely had time to catch you as you both went tumbling down.

"Thank you," you warbled happily into his chest, fisting your small hands into the material of his shirt.

Warm, strong arms circled around you, not missing a beat and you felt the hair on the crown of your head stir with Ignis' steady breath, the smile apparent in his voice.

"You are perfect just the way you are, Chibi."

What's Haikyuu about? I already know it's about volleyball.

Hmm. Okay, i’ll try to explain it.

it’s basically the story of these two guys trying to make their school team be the best in Japan??

The story basically begins with the lead character (and my second favourite character of all time) hinata shouyou on his way to junior high school when he is momentarily taken by a volleyball nationals match between a school called Karasuno and some other irrelevant filler school playing on tv inside a shop’s window..namely, he’s taken by this short player from Karasuno nicknamed ‘the little giant’ who seems to be scoring points despite his obvious height disadvantage. In that moment little shouyou falls in love with volleyball and starts idolizing the little giant, so he asks about the club at school and it turns out no one signed up and everything is really sad and he can’t play volleyball in a team and he is literally the only sad ass member?? he still practices alone though, and asks annoys his friends to help him occasionally. All of this in hopes that he will once get lucky enough to compete on a court one day..and when the day finally comes, he and his little chibi ass friends (whom he dragged to play with him despite them literally knowing 0 about volleyball) get SMASHED to pieces by the strongest junior high team in the prefecture. Worth mentioning, hinata and his anxious pee habit made him meet this guy nicknamed ‘the king of the court’ (supposedly just because he is an insanely gifted player) next to the bathroom and he ends making this dumb ass promise to literally a genius guy who is backed up by the strongest team while hinata’s best player is a guy who didn’t fuckin know what the position names meant

turns out au volleyball sasuke/haru/depending on what type of anime you like doesn’t like the idea of losing so he FIRES back

you’d think because hinata is a shonen protagonist he’d end up pulling some superhuman miracle and win but lol

in typical #shonenboiishatelosing fashion he makes this promise to angry intense bathroom guy

kageyama tobio aka king of our hearts is just really confused as to why Frodo the hobbit is crying and telling him all of this

but in good sportsmen ship just tells him to get stronger if he wants to stay on court.

After hinata’s heart glass gets shattered he goes back to practice vv hard, montage and everything, in order to beat the king that cut his career short.

Fast forward to high school and hinata joins his dream school karasuno and he is all ‘im going to get so strong im going to have a great team and im gonna gET MY REVEN- WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS HE HERE’

turns out kageyama is actually rlly fuckin school dumb and his shitty grades (and even shittier personality) kept him from going to the strongest high school in their prefecture despite him being a genius at tossin u the ball (something we all can do but he can apparently do it ingeniously????) so he is stuck here bc of his angsty really bossy social skills mess hated by everyone back story

at first they are all at each others throats but slowly by slowly their relationship develops into some borderline romantic comedy power duo (literally nicknamed the freak duo by their opponents) plot (that a lot of people including me otp bc honestly it gets p gay sometimes like wow is this the power of friendship or the power of boyfriends the line is getting blurry)

like uh they literally communicate like this??? but still understand each other

so using the power of friendship boyfriends and hinatas super fly jump they set out to take karasuno to the nationals. Along the way ofc there are other teams and characters we meet, all of which are explored and amazingly developed by the author. You literally cannot hate any of them even when they are the opposing team???

So that is basically hq??? a lot of volley?? a lot of friendship plots? a lot of amazing side characters that the author actually develops and includes constantly. There is also the bonus of the most chill (v active and full of amazing creators!!!!) fandom that is all in for any type of hc’s, ships, faves etc etc. It’s all love and chillness.

This series is like A+. Dynamic writing that never not once got boring or felt cheap? it’s always authentic and manages to increase the tension while remaining personal to the characters and their goals. Only Furudate manages to give a character a MILE of believable development DURING a match. Great series that will make you laugh 24/7, the animation is AMAZING holy actual heck..To animate a SINGLE frame of Hinata’s eye the animators used SIXTY different drawings??? In contrast to SP that animates using 1 to 2 drawings for FULL body frames??? The OST is also A++. you’ll start the series thinking ‘who cares about volleyball???’ and 10 in episodes you’re crying because you’ve adopted 20 fictional children and because ‘humans don’t have wings so they look for ways to fly’.

Fun fact: in the OFFICIAL made by Japanese people 100 best anime of all time list, Haikyuu!! was there!! Even shows like naruto weren’t!! that is how highly regarded it is…it’s vvvv popular?? specially in Japan it is everywhere.

in summary: 2 boys 1 ball

watch haikyuu!! trust me

#haikyuu!!#hinata shouyou #kageyama tobio #kagehina #karasuno #this is just me ranting about hq #long post #team7fangirl
