ice skater reader x hajime
angst to fluff
season 2 spoilers
Tumblr media
It was the match after Kitagawa First had lost to the powerhouse Ushijima once again. The whole team was upset but no one more than Oikawa. So being his best friend, Iwaizumi it upon himself to fix it. In volleyball, you’re never alone, the best team of six wins. Sports, where you’re alone, are stupid. That is what he always thought so he took Oikawa to a figure skating competition just to show him how stupid being alone really is. But that’s when he saw you.
The whole rink was to yourself, all yours. Every stride was so beautiful, every jump was effortless, and the landings were graceful. All your movements were delicate, a word that was not in Iwaizumi’s vocabulary yet for whatever reason he was drawn to you. Yeah, you were going to be his, and soon you were.
When you were off the rink you were in the stands cheering for your boyfriend and getting excited with every powerful spike that echoed through the gym as it hit the floor. It didn’t matter win or lose, you were proud of him, how could you not be?
After the game, he met you outside of the school and you smiled as he walked up to you and placed a kiss on your forehead. “You did so good!”
“We lost.”
“I know, but you still did good.” He laughed under his breath before he wrapped his arm around your shoulder.
“Let me walk you home.”
Being a third year, the most important competition in your life was coming up in the next few days, and of course, you wanted your boyfriend to be there to support you as you do him. So you sat down at his table during lunch with a smile and pecked his cheek.
“Hey, babe.”
“Hi, so I have a competition coming up.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’s on Saturday and-”
“I can’t make it.”
“That was- fast.” The bell rang and he quickly got up.
“Yeah, sorry, good luck though.”
“Thanks.” You whispered to yourself.
Your competition ended early and you figured you could go see Kageyama’s game against Shirtitorizawa. You went there to go support your former underclassmen, you didn’t expect to see your boyfriend sitting in the stands. You stood there for a few seconds until Oikawa noticed you and without thinking he waved, “Hey, Y/N.”
“Y/N?” Iwaizumi turned and his face dropped, “Hey-” You didn’t even have any words, you simply just walked out with him following behind you. “Y/N, Y/N!”
“These were your plans really? So you can watch someone else compete, just not me, right.”
“It’s not that big of a deal.”
“Except it kinda is because I have been showing up to every game of yours since the start of high school, and you’ve only seen me compete once and you weren’t even there for me, that’s so shitty Hajime.”
“I get that you’re upset but-”
“No, I’m not upset, I’m just really disappointed in myself for thinking that for once you would actually be proud enough of me to watch me do the thing I love the most.” He sighed in annoyance and your eyes went big. “Wow, you’re kidding.”
“It’s just- you didn’t even make nationals Y/N so-”
“No, you didn’t make nationals.”
“I-”
“I did, and you would have known that if you would’ve actually shown up, but I guess you only show up for Oikawa, huh?”
“That’s not fair-”
“No our relationship isn’t.”
“Y/N.”
“Go back to your best friend, wouldn’t want him to be alone.”
Weeks had past and you had avoided him ever since. Every time he tried to talk to you during school you would go the other way, he would come to your house and you wouldn’t be there, and every message he sent you wouldn’t reply. You had all but broken up with him and although his recent actions said otherwise, he wasn’t ready to let you go. He checked the time after school and knew exactly where you would be.
You were doing your usual one-handed Beillmman and as your spinning slowed down, you saw a figure at the edge of the rink. You dropped your foot and stared at him, waiting for him to speak.
“Hey.”
“Why are you here?”
“I-” he was shocked by your harsh tone but sighed once he remembered he deserved it, “I wanted to apologize.”
“For missing the competition or dismissing all the hard work I put into this sport just because I didn’t make nationals, which did I by the way. Or are you sorry for not congratulating me or-”
“All of it. All of it. I’m sorry for being an asshole and going to a game I wasn’t even playing in over your competition. I’m sorry for never going to your competitions or supporting you and for being a shitty boyfriend and most of all, letting you think for a second that I’m not proud of you.”
“Hajime-”
“Because I am so proud of you, always have been, always will be.”
You laugh in order to cover up how flustered you are before you teased, “who knew Iwaizuimi Hajime could be such a softie.”
“Only for you.”
You smile before you said, “you know I think this is the moment when we kiss and makeup.”
“Well come here then,” he said and happily you skated over towards the railings and leaned over pressing your cold, but soft lips on him. He softened at your touch, serving as a reminder that spending your life on the ice gave you the ability to be only one to make your hothead of a boyfriend melt.
And weeks later when you’d accept the trophy at nationals, you’d have the biggest smile one your face. Not for the cameras, but for the fact that in between each truck when you looked out into the crowd to the people cheering you on, he was there.

⍣ ೋ the times they cried because of you
Tumblr media
☆ includes ushijima, iwaizumi, atsumu, kageyama, bokuto
Tumblr media
USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI — he never cries. you met this guy when the two of you were young freshman in high-school, and you quickly became a good friend of his. that being said, you never saw him cry. even when the two of you began dating in your senior year, you still never did. years passed, and it was the same as the previous years. sure, he occasionally got upset, but even then, he still put on a stoic display, never really letting you in on that side of him. even at your wedding, he sure showed some emotion but he didn't cry. then came the birth of your first child.
"she's so cute, isn't she 'toshi..?" you said weakly, forehead still damp with sweat, bodu trembling with the aftershocks of your hard, long labor. your eyes fluttered open, focusing on the sight of your dear wakatoshi holding your newborn baby.
your heart fluttered at the soft image of your husband holding the tiny baby closely again his chest, his forehead mere inches away from the baby's forehead. it was barely there, barely noticeable. if it weren't for the reflection of light, then you wouldn't have been able to see the way his eyes were glazed over, corners red, tears brimming at the borderlines of his eyes.
he was so memorized, so in love with this product of you, this product of his and your love. god, you just make him the happiest guy on earth.
with a grunt, he sniffled lightly, trying to mask his emotions. "yeah.."
IWAIZUMI HAJIME — he hates crying. but being the responsible and knowing person he is, he knows that crying is inevitable. but the "strong", reliable guy in him wants to punch himself every-time he feels his eyes sting at the feel of salty tears brimming at his waterline. unbeknownst to you, he would avoid you every-time he felt like he was going to cry, usually hiding in the locked confides of the bathroom. he thought he was hiding it well, until one fateful day where it all came crashing down..
"haji?" you said on the other side of the door. he immediately shot up, his eyes darting to the doorknob. he always made sure to lock it, but today, he was just so exhausted and down that the idea of a lock was forgotten. crap, "hey wait-," before he could even rise up from his slouched kneeling position on the bathtub's side, you opened the door unknowingly. "i just need my–hajime?"
there he was, in all of his fucking glory, hunched over, his face long and clearly expressing his hurt feelings. his heart fell to his stomach, his vision going cloudy as his day just kept getting worse. "hajime?" you called out once more, only your tone had softened, more light and tender. you reached a hand out to him, eyes full of concern. he couldn't help but jolt away from your hand, eyebrows furrowing at your softness.
he didn't like your tone. why are you looking at him like that? like some sad kicked puppy lost in the middle of nowhere? it made him feel so small, so weak. "haji.. are you okay?" you whispered, crouching down to his level outside of the bathtub. you attempted yet again to touch the side of his face, lightly pressing your fingertips against his cheekbone before fully pressing your palm against the side of his face.
his lips trembled as he was just a second away from breaking down, his eyes locked on a single object as to hold on to the last of his will. you sighed softly at his resistance, of course he wouldn't want to cry in front of you, but you don't understand why, afterall, what makes a person weak for crying? "it's okay, hajime."
with that, fat tears finally ran down his cheeks, his eyes shutting close as he finally broke at your words. he could only grab onto your hand as you climbed into the tub, his head going straight into your chest as he sobbed and wailed.
MIYA ATSUMU — surprisingly, you've seen this guy cry many of times before. he cried when getting accepted into nationals, winning nationals, just crying at things any normal person would do. but he never cried for you. no, he held himself to higher standards. he'd never cry for someone, not even for you. yeah, he loved you, but he wasn't about to cry for someone like a little child. all high and mighty, he never thought you would actually have an affect on him like you do now. him being someone who wears his heart proudly on his sleeve, he found himself getting into an argument late at night with you, too prideful to back down.
"are you serious atsumu?! you know i'd never do that!" you yelled, voice hoarse and scratchy due to the ongoing screaming match between you and your boyfriend. "oh really?! then why were ya' 'll over that fucker earlier? huh?!" he yelled back, pointing out the way you were seemingly flirting with a guy at the club earlier.
but you weren't? you would never do that, you're not a scum. "what?! we were just talking?! am i not allowed to TALK to people atsumu?" you scoffed, arms crossing defensively. "if you wanna consider talking as flirting, then let's talk about that girl you were laughing with the other day? huh? let's talk about that!"
his eyebrow raised at your counter, fumbling nervously as he wondered what to say. "w-wh- you know what?! fuck you! i don't know why i'm even dating a bitch like you!" he said, almost immediately regretting his words when he saw the way your eye's widened at his harsh words. the apartment was finally silent as you registered his words, he wishes you had any sort of expression on your face, but you had nothing but a stoic and emotionless face.
"okay then," you finally said, arching your eyebrow in a taunting way, resting your hand down on your hip. "bye." you followed, grabbing your bag and your keys, turning your back on him.
he watched, frozen in his spot as you exited out the apartment with your composure. his body jolted when he heard the slam of the front door, finally letting out that breath he was unknowingly holding. he scoffed at what you said, clenching his jaw tightly as he tried to hold onto his pride. "damn it." he said.
he felt the tear roll down his cheek before he could even register that he was crying. "..damn it!"
KAGEYAMA TOBIO — to him, life is volleyball. his childhood consisted nothing of volleyball, and so will his adulthood. maybe his obsession with volleyball was a little extreme, but you never really minded. he respected you greatly for your patience, he wasn't dumb, he knew that his priority of volleyball was evident, so he always tried to make it up to you by spending time with you whenever you wanted. but it seemed like after awhile, he began to take your patience for granted. it wasn't until the nth time when he didn't show up for the nth date was when he realized.
kageyama was careful to shut the front door as quiet as he could, tiptoeing as he took off his shoes and walked throughout the dark hallways and into the master-bedroom. he jolted like a cat when he sat you sitting up on the side of the bed, back facing the doorway.
"y-you scared me. what are you doing up at this time? it's nearly 10PM." he stuttered obliviously. it was silent for a few seconds before you sighed, slowly turning your head to face him. "you forgot." you muttered before turning back to look at the wall. forgot? forgot what? it was then he noticed the way your hair was done, still clad in a pretty dress.
"o-oh.. the date! i-i'm sorry y/n, i promise i can make it up to you"— "don't bother." you interrupted, voice stern yet monotonous. what do you mean 'don't bother?' you love going on dates don't you? his lips pursed into a straight line, chewing on his bottom lips nervously. "w-what do you mean? i really promise, this thursday i have a free day.." he trailed off when you suddenly stood up from the bed.
"i mean that i think we should break up." his heart dropped at your words, eyes widening. break up? his mouth was agape, mind spinning with different solutions and apologies. before he could detest, you walked over to the corner of the room, pulling up a suitcase that he didn't even notice.
"b-but why? you said yourself that me and you are meant to be together?" he cried out, quickly rushing over to your side and grabbing onto your wrist. he watched your face closely, eyes taking note of every single feature of yours. you inhaled deeply, still refusing to look at him.
"i said that when we were in high-school and didn't have any major responsibilities. things have changed, we aren't in high-school any more. you're now a pro-volleyball player with big responsibilities, and i'm.. someone who clearly has too much time on their hands, wasting it on someone who can't give me any of theirs. it's not your fault, kageyama, but we just don't align anymore."
you finally said, tugging your hand away from his grasp. before you could take a step, his hands were once again on you, gripped onto your shoulders, forcing you to look at him. "but.. you said you would be there for my game at nationals.." he whimpered out, tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
it was then, when you were finally walking out of his apartment, out of his life, was when he finally did realize, that maybe, he did take your patience for granted..
BOKUTO KOUTARO — this guy cries a lot. he's cried so many times you might have to start writing it down somewhere. he rarely masks his emotions, he's an open book. thats what you love so much about him, that he's so open and honest. you love the way he's so eager and sweet, you love the way he's always willing to talk to you and so damn clingy it's like you have your own personal koala. aside from the times he's happy, he's sad, sad because he didn't perform well, or because you didn't kiss him. but you never really made him cry, you'd never do that. or so you thought.
"y/n!! i missed you!" you hear a booming voice yell, his footsteps speeding up at the sight you. he paid no mind when you didn't respond to him, as you were currently hunched over the your work desk, laptop gleaming at you brightly. your back was turned to him, so you were basically calling him for a back hug.
"y/n!" — "not now koutaro." you interrupted, tone serious and stern. he raised his eyebrows at you with surprise, his arms a few inches away from your shoulders as they stilled in their preparation to hug you. "babe? is something wrong?" he asked curiously, lips pouting at your stern denial. you never decline a hug. you love them. right?
"i'm working. can't you see that?" you spit out, sighing deeply. you pull away your cramping fingers away from your keyboard, rubbing them over your sore eyes. "my gosh." you mumble under your breath, eyebrows intensely furrowed with stress. you had been working for a few hours straight, staring at nothing but a bright screen with words that were becoming incoherent to you.
you yelp out when you're suddenly pulled from your chair, being lifted up into bokuto's strong arms as he spins you around. "don't be so sad!" he says cheerfully, hoping to cheer you up with a big warm hug. only— this seems to make you mad. "put me down, koutaro!" you yell, pushing his chest away and forcing him to practically drop you.
"don't you see i'm working?! why are you so damn clingy? you're so annoying, god, why don't you just leave me alone?" you spit out. your words are like venom, stinging his heart greatly as his hair is quickly deflating once your words reach his ears. you simply return to your laptop once you've finished, typing mindlessly once more.
him? annoying? he didn't mean to annoy you..
he couldn't help but softly whimper, left standing in shock. he opened his mouth to say something before your previous words were reminding him to stay silent—leave me alone. he clutched his palms, looking at your turned back with teary eyes. he hopes you don't find him annoying for long..

girlfriend
summary: Iwaizumi x F!Reader. you might be his girlfriend—but she's his girl.
word count: 2.4k
cw: hurt/comfort. a lot of reader insecurity. fear/mention of emotional cheating but there is none
a/n: this actually fills @akimind's request for my 500 follower event one million years ago but the formatting is tooo hard so. here it is!!! iwaizumi + angst + college au + "that's not what i said." LOVE YOU SORRY HOPE IT HURTS AND IS ALSO ENJOYABLE. <<<<3333333
You didn't mean to fall in love with your boyfriend.
You hadn't gone into this expecting Hajime to become your boyfriend at all, actually. You liked him. Liked how easy it was to be with him. How warm he was when you let your touch linger on him and pretended it was more than a flirty friendship. You hadn't ever predicted it would become so, because Hajime was hung up on his ex-girlfriend.
They'd traveled over oceans to be together, coming to Irvine from the same prefecture in Japan. They had still been together when you met him, her head tucked beneath his chin, his arms wrapped around her waist. Your first thought was "oh, he's beautiful." Your second thought was "they look like they're made for each other." You shoved the first thought deep inside a secret crevice of your brain and stuck out your hand to introduce yourself with a bright smile.
The strain of new adulthood got to them, though, or so you assumed: you were never privy to the gory details of the breakup. They remained friendly, in the same friend group, and it just always seemed obvious to you that they would someday reconcile. It wasn't until two years after their break that you were able to start showing regular, platonic affection to Hajime without feeling like an attempted homewrecker.
It was just before graduation, having dragged him away for a late-night bite to eat so neither of you would starve to death studying for finals, when everything flipped on its head. Your plan to energize the both of you had backfired; you were yawning every other sentence and came close to laying your head on the table before Hajime put his palm down in front of your face.
"Come sit next to me," he'd said, so you maneuvered around into his side of the booth and been promptly pulled into his side. You had looked up at him, murmuring a sleepy question that was more wordless noise than actual English, and that was it. Something you didn't understand softened his gaze, and then he tilted his head to the side and brushed his lips over yours.
It was a perfect first kiss.
In the weeks following it, you had bounced violently between insisting to yourself that he hadn't meant for you to read too far into the kiss and your natural instinct to go after what your heart wanted. And the more he proved that it wasn't a one-off anomaly, that he could kiss you right out of drought into a superbloom, the more you were convinced. Iwaizumi Hajime wouldn't knowingly break your heart.
When Hajime asked you to be official, wildflower bouquet in hand, the lights of the now-empty graduation pavilion shining down on the both of you, you said yes, your whole heart and none of your brain in the matter.
As you entered your apartment hand-in-hand with him, greeting all the friends who had gathered there to celebrate the end of undergraduate school, you remembered that the key modifier in "Iwaizumi Hajime wouldn't knowingly break your heart" was knowingly. He seemed happy enough announcing the development to everyone else, and then she had walked in, carrying a bottle of wine that almost slipped from her grasp when she saw your proximity. He had dropped your hand—just for a second, but it had happened, and then picked it back up like his sentence hadn't died in his mouth at the sight of her.
He'd always gotten a little defensive when people mentioned their relationship, his features shutting down into a blank, tight expression. Though they obviously weren't as close as they had been for most of their lives, they were still both part of your friend group, and he always seemed to laugh just a little harder at her jokes, kept eye contact a little longer, got embarrassed more easily around her. You didn't want to be jealous or insecure or possessive, but it just felt more increasingly obvious that you were a rebound, a cheap, temporary dupe meant to fill in until Hajime realized and returned to the love of his life.
It was hard to be angry at him, though, because you knew with every fiber of your bleeding heart that he wouldn't do this to you on purpose. You knew he thought he cared for you, that he thought he had moved on. He did a good job almost every day coming very close to persuading you of it, enough to keep you from breaking up with him and leaving him behind, but never quite erasing your insecurities for more than a few weeks at a time.
One of the first mornings you woke up in his bed, well rested and sore in all the right places, he was missing. You got up, mourning the softness of his sheets and the scent of him on the pillowcases, and slipped into one of his shirts before leaving his room to explore.
He was cooking, shirtless in the kitchen, and if that wasn't one of the yummiest things you had seen in your life.
"Good morning," you said, leaning against his counter.
"Very," he returned, flipping an egg in the pan. "Looking like that. I think—I mean, it seems like that shirt always gets chosen to be the boyfriend shirt." He had narrowly avoided saying her name, but you had heard it threatening to tumble out of his mouth. You bit back a response, but your smile still dropped, and he spent the next hour making allusive, sorry overtures without either of you actually acknowledging the slip.
You never wore that shirt again. He gave you another one, you accepted it, and life moved on.
Except you had somehow become mired in the past with a relationship that was long over, and without university or a job to distract you—you were starting at the end of September, which felt aeons away—it was eating you alive, especially as Hajime left for a preliminary return trip to Japan.
"Did you hear how Mattsun and Makki greeted him when he landed?" You sit in the car on the way to the airport, packed in with Hajime's ex, successfully hyping yourself up to see him again until she addressed the group.
"Oh, yeah," you laugh. "So funny." You haven't had a conversation with Hajime that had more depth than "how are u? miss u" for the trip's duration. She's your friend, too, though you've never been close, but there's something unbearable about admitting it to her now, when you're so unsure of your relationship's current status. It has to mean something that he was keeping her updated and active in his life, didn't it?
You find solace in knowing that you don't blame her at all. If you could find an ounce of resentment for her in your heart, you would probably have left Hajime by now—isn't that the mark of a truly evil plot-pushing girlfriend?
You cry when you see him again.
"Happy tears," you assure him, and hide your face in his shoulder.
Later, alone in his apartment, you bite your lip when Hajime asks if you want to sleep over.
"Okay, babe, I don't want to pressure you," he says, and you can feel yourself tensing up as he speaks. "But I feel like you've been—off all day. Is everything okay?"
You blanch and focus on the cowlick on the right side of his head, the one that's endeared him so much to you, so you don't have to look him in the eyes. Too much is bubbling up in your throat, your brain thrown into overdrive, and he's staring at you with so much worry in his eyes it's just not right to leave him hanging:
"No."
Hajime makes a noise you don't understand, low in his throat. "Is it because I didn't call enough while I was gone? Because I can explain that, I promise."
"No," you rush to explain. "I don't—it wasn't you, exactly. I've just—ever since we started dating—I think you still love her."
You're picking at your nails, a bad habit you've had since you were small, and he takes your hands in his, smooths his thumbs over the torn cuticles.
"I don't," he says, finally, neutrally, though his face hasn't formed into the cold mask you're used to seeing when she's brought up. "Ever since we started dating?"
"Before," you admit. "I always thought you would get back together. You just seemed so made for each other."
"But we weren't," a little pucker between his eyebrows forms. "So—what did you think when we started dating?"
"When you first kissed me," you say, "I thought maybe it was a one-off. That you wanted something casual. And then it got more serious, and I thought maybe I could just suppress my insecurities until they went away, and I mean, I really thought you liked me."
"I do," his voice grows more agitated, his lips thinning out.
"Yeah, but..." You trail off. "You would do things that made me think, oh, he's just the perfect guy, they just looked so amazing because I was jealous, and then every so often I'd see you interact with her and it wasn't like how we are at all. I know the insecurity is my own fault, that's not on you, but I feel like it's holding both of us back."
"What do you mean holding us back? You don't think you make me happy?" He snaps, and you wince.
"Not like you are with her! Every time she comes in the room you get this look on your face, like you're speechless. Like-like the songs, Haji, I just..."
He lets go of your hands, crosses his arms.
"Do you really think I'd do that to you?"
"No, Haji, I know you'd never cheat. That's why I fell in love with you! You're a good guy, but I don't want you to wake up one day and break both our hearts because she's meant to be your girl and I'm just your fucking girlfriend." Your eyes sting, your chest heaving by the end of the sentence.
"You love me?" He's quieter now, giving you a little more space to breathe.
"What? That's not what I said."
"Yes, it is," he says, a little smile growing at the corners of his mouth, as though he can't control it. "You love me."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand why you're focusing on that," you wipe at your eyes with the back of your hand. "It's true, I just don't get it."
"Because you make me happier than she ever did," he promises, crowding you up against the counter and motioning for you to jump up to sit on top of it after you can go no further. "I'm weird when she's around because she's my ex, sure, but not because I still want her. It... ended badly. It's a miracle we didn't pull the entire friend group into it, and I never wanted to make her look bad to them, so I'm always trying really hard to look, uh, normal around her. We're on better terms now, but I haven't wanted her in years, honey."
"She knew about what you were doing when I didn't," you mumble, feeling small in the stormy release of emotions. "And she knows so much about you I don't in general."
"We grew up together," Hajime reminds you. "It would have been one of the guys. I know I didn't tell her anything. You can check my call history, my texts."
You shake your head. "I believe you."
"Really?" He arches a brow, and you laugh and push gently at his shoulder.
"Yes, really."
"You know how long I had a crush on you before I did anything about it? I thought you weren't interested, and then you finally started being even more affectionate with me than you were with our other friends, and I took the chance."
"Rookie numbers," you preen under his gaze. "I liked you... pretty much as soon as I met you. But I suppressed it 'cause I didn't want to be a homewrecker."
"You're sweet," he chuckles. "I promise, you have nothing to worry about there. I'm never gonna wake up and not be grateful to see you drooling on my bed."
"You're the worst, you know that?"
"Yeah, yeah," he looks at you fondly, swiping his thumbs under your lower lashes. "You love me, though."
"Oh," your lips part. "And the not calling in Japan?"
He scrunches his nose. "I was trying not to spoil anything. I wanted to, uh, discuss it with you first, but you should know my friends and family are all waiting to embarrass me if I have to turn everything around now."
"Okay? I'll consider your dignity, but I make no promises," you tease. He drops his head to your shoulder for a moment, taking a deep breath, and you wind a hand into his hair, petting him until he straightens.
"So, you know how I have that paid internship opportunity back home?" You nod, not wanting to be reminded. You'll do it for him, but... long distance sucks. "I went to their office and turned it down. I want to go through with my doctorate."
"Oh, that's huge!" You gasp. "That's incredible, I'm so happy for you!"
"So the part that has to do with you is, um," he says, "you're planning to stay here, right?"
"Yeah," you say, "my next step is like a twenty minute commute, thankfully."
"I want to finish my schooling in the States," he tells you, "and then after that, I want to go wherever you go."
"Hajime," you start, but he puts a shaking hand on your knee, and that shuts you up.
"I love you," he says seriously. "It's like I said, okay? You make me happier than anyone else. I know you're the one for me, if you'll have me. If not, I get—"
You grab his face and smash your lips into his, and if that doesn't get the message across? You don't know what will.

Part Two
“We won.” The words left Iwaizumi’s mouth. It was the second time he said it that week. Another win for Seijoh, leaving the other team completely defenseless. It was another easy win for them.
Another win, yet another loss in his book.
He promised himself that he’d confess to you after the game. Everyday, the words repeat in his head like a mantra. Everytime he sees you, he waits for the words to leave his mouth, but they don’t. They never do.
He hates himself for it. He wished that he could just grow up and say it. Iwaizumi knew there wasn’t much time before you both graduated, and you both knew that you’d separate after.
He wanted nothing more than to cherish this time with you.
He watched as your usual bright smile stretched across your face, eyes dancing and bleeding with pride. God, he never got tired of seeing that.
“I knew you could.” It was something he heard many times before, but he didn’t have a problem with it. No. He loved it. Loved that he had your support.
There were tons of people that supported him. He was in a powerhouse school so it wasn’t odd that there were lines of people cheering his name. Yet, he only heard you. Everytime you’d scream his name, your voice would echo in his head, telling himself to play even harder to guarantee the win that day.
He remembered you wearing his jersey once. Technically, it was ‘wear your favorite player’s jersey’ at Aoba Johsai. Mostly, it was Oikawa’s jersey that was spread throughout the school. Iwaizumi truly didn’t care that he didn’t see anyone wearing his, until he saw you.
There you were standing in the crowd alongside your two friends dressed in his jersey. He remembered how fast the heat crept up his neck, blooming across his face without warning. How rapid his heart was racing, causing him to stop in place and stare at you with a tilted head. He was shocked.
He remembered how Oikawa wrapped his shoulder around him with a crooked grin. They said nothing but from his posture Iwaizumi knew Oikawa was teasing him. Though, he didn’t care in that moment. He was too happy. Happy that you were there for him. Happy you even wore his jersey.
He remembered how Oikawa faked him into going on a date with you. Well, more of a study session. All of the third years made plans to study at the library, but it was only you and him that came. While you only saw this as ditching, Iwaizumi knew that they did this so he could confess.
He was such a blushy mess being alone and close to you. Especially when you asked for help on a specific problem, his hand lightly brushed against yours as he grabbed the pencil from you, his hand immediately recoiling back as he stuttered for words. You looked up at him and grinned muttering sorry. He didn’t know why you said it, but he nodded. That day he didn’t confess either.
He remembered finding you between two vending machines, crouched down and head into your knees. Your body was shaking as choked sobs parted your lips. Immediately, he kneeled down and asked you what was wrong but you didn’t say anything. You didn’t even look up at him. Iwaizumi was unsure of what to do since he’s never been in a situation like this before. Besides, it was you. You were headstrong, it was strange to see you break down in school.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the feeling of two arms wrapping around his stomach and a head pressing into the crook of his neck ceased him from doing so. You cried into his neck, holding him tightly like he would slip away from your grasp. He thought it was selfish to be enjoying her touch like this, but only pure bliss filled his heart.
Turns out, your grades were slipping and it wasn’t guaranteed you were going to make it into university.
He remembered the wide smile that spread across your face when you aced a test that he helped you study. You took no time to engulf him into another tight hug. Iwaizumi stiffened at your touch. Unlike last time, your arms were around his neck. Your hand placed slightly below his nape. Hesitantly but surely, he placed his fit arms on your waist. For a moment he could’ve swore that you moved in closer, but he wasn’t so sure since he was focusing on not breaking down right there and then.
He remembered the first time he went inside your home. You were down with a fever, and your parents were at work. He took the day off to aid you, hoping for a quick recovery to get back at school. Your room was nothing like he expected. It was nice, and had a sweet scent.
You were embarrassed for having him see you so sick like, but he didn’t mind. You asked him how could he not be disgusted by your looks, he responded by saying you looked exactly like he always saw you. Disgusting, is what you replied with jokingly. Iwaizumi laughed with you, his heart aching with the familiar feeling he’s experienced before. More than ever, he wanted to tell you. But he just couldn’t.
He remembered the train ride home you two took that one day, not walking since it was pouring. Iwaizumi stood, holding onto the bar to keep himself balanced while you sat. You insisted for him to sit down with you since it was still a long way to go till you both got off, but he declined. He didn’t want to invade your privacy. The seat was mildly close to yours, it was definite that he’d accidentally touch you in a matter of time. He didn’t want to go through that embarrassment, nor the apologies.
After minutes of pestering, he finally sat down beside you, his legs relishing the relief he felt from standing all day. That day he learned more and more about you: your favorite animal, favorite food, favorite place, your plans after highschool, he learned it all. From the corner of his eye he noticed your head drooping, eyelids falling. In the nick of time, he caught your head from toppling over. Unsure of what to do with it, Iwaizumi did the most selfish thing he could— He placed it onto his shoulder.
Moments after, your hand found it’s way onto his. So much for ‘invading privacy’.
Finally, he remembered the solace in his heart when he heard you reject the rumors about you and Oikawa dating. You two were growing closer, leaving Iwaizumi as a grumpy, insecure mess. The practices were more tense than they usually were, all of the 1st and 2nd years confused as to who shifted the mood. The 3rd hears already knew, and they were sure why. The rumors had been going around for about a week so it wasn’t surprising that they heard of it.
Iwaizumi didn’t want to believe it, but Oikawa was the golden boy at the school, everyone fell for him. And Iwaizumi was just him. He knew there wasn’t much of a competition, he knew that you were going to pick him, and that’s why it hurt so much. He cried almost every night, refusing to speak to anyone at school or home. He also avoided you, making sure to take the longer routes to his classes and staying ten minutes after school just so you’d miss him and walk home by yourself.
But one day, there you were, waiting for him at the gates. You demanded for him to tell you why he was avoiding you, but he wouldn’t share. You kept hassling him hoping for something to slip out, and it did. In the most snarkiest way he replied with, “Why are you bothering me? Shouldn’t you be with your boyfriend?” He pronounced boyfriend in the most mocking way, that it made you sneer. You laughed in his face, causing his heart to break even more. Iwaizumi turned around aiming to get as far away from you as he could, but you grabbed onto his hand before he could take a step. You instantly shot down his assumption, claiming that it was only a rumor, that you and Oikawa were friends and nothing more.
That day Iwaizumi felt like an idiot. He should’ve asked instead of recklessly jumping to conclusions and leaving you in the dust. It was unfair. Mentally, he cursed at himself for being so inconsiderate towards you. Only one thought entered his mind for the rest of the day: I should just confess already.
And here you are, shining your toothy smile at him, eyes ablaze with exhilaration nearly lighting the night sky itself. You were just so alluring. There was never a day where his heart stopped beating for you, where that same crimson blush stopped occuring, where he would try to find open spots in his day to spend with you. The feeling inside of him was overwhelming, the feeling coursed through his veins like it was his blood, like a drug he couldn’t live without. He wanted you. He needed you.
And like he was starved, his mouth opened before he could process anything.
“I love you.”

heyyy!
i dont know if you're still taking requests but i couldn't stop thinking of angry confessions with Iwaizumi & Bokuto
Tumblr media
ANGRY CONFESSIONS | 2
Tumblr media
characters: bokuto + iwaizumi + kuroo + sakusa + (gn!reader)
notes: ooh it's hard thinking of bokuto being angry so it's moreso upset for him + another anon asked for kuroo and sakusa so i added them
part one / part two
Tumblr media
★ bokuto gets all pouty and crosses his arms when he sees you. looks miserable whenever you enter the room, and obviously you pick up on it, his mood radiates wherever he is. one day you catch him alone and ask him if you've done something. he grumbles no, pouting. but you press on cause you know something's up. he reluctantly confesses, 'i just...i'm in love with you, okay? and i hated seeing you with that guy...' won't look you in the eye, but when he hears you confess that you actually feel the same way, he perks up like a puppy, mood doing a complete 180.
Tumblr media
★ iwaizumi starts giving you attitude and barely giving you one word answers when you talk to him. tries to avoid you too but you confront him, literally walk in front of him and block him when he tries to evade you. if looks could kill, you'd absolutely be dead, but he's really glaring to mask his feelings. you pester him until he tells you what's wrong and he answers, frustrated as ever. 'it's because i have feelings for you!' he gets too embarrassed so he looks away but his eyes widen and he stops breathing when you gently grab his face and tell him you feel the same.
Tumblr media
★ kuroo is really snarky with you all of a sudden and there seems to be more bite to his jokes. he smirks all the same, but there's something different in the way he looks at you. like he's bothered and itching to tell you something. you get sick of it and call him out when you're just with him and kenma. and kenma is really tired of hearing kuroo rant and not actually do something about it so he mutters at him to just tell you. you obviously get curious/annoyed by this and push him to tell you too. he gives you attitude, saying how he doubts you don't know. (in his eyes you've been stringing him along but that's not true) you tell him you really have no idea what's going on and that's when he breaks, scoffing. 'you're telling me you actually can't tell that i'm in love with you? yeah, right.' when he sees your reaction though, he pauses, his face dropping, now worried about the fact that he just confessed. when you tell him how you feel though, you can see the light enter his eyes again, and an actual smile on his lips.
Tumblr media
★ sakusa is suddenly very curt with you, barely looking at you when you're around (when you can see him anyway. his eyes trail after you when you go.) he gives short responses and you can't help but feel hurt. but you can be petty too, so you start giving him the same treatment. soon, you can barely stand to be in the same room together, tensions high when you're near each other. it's silly what leads to your confessions, but the two of you run into each other in front of an elevator, you just roll your eyes and say you'll take the stairs. he mutters under his breath something about you running along to your little boyfriend and that makes you pause. you turn around, confused and offended, asking what that's supposed to mean. his eyes narrow and he asks if you think he's stupid. you respond that you don't know what's up with him but you don't have a bf. then it dawns on you and he can see the gears turning in your head and suddenly his mouth gets dry. you ask if this is why he's been acting like this and then why he cares so much. you notice the blush on his face and he knows you're not dumb enough to believe a lie but he's embarrassed so he gets defensive. 'why do you think? obviously i have feelings for you.' he looks away but he looks back at you, offended and ready to go off when you call him an idiot. he only softens when you say cause you feel the same.

Iwaizumi finds himself looking at you, puzzled at the way you shy away from his touch. He doesn’t quite get it. But he doesn’t want to push. Hajime does what he knows how to do best; talks it out. Or he tries really hard to. Ever since he’s been more comfortable around you, his arms often swing behind your shoulders and his hands usually are intertwined with yours but he hasn’t stopped to notice that you don’t openly accept his touches.
“Honey, stop.” His tone far from harsh but it still manages to stop you dead in your tracks. You turn to see him, finding your lover standing a couple feet away from you, his arms unoccupied, flinching with the itch for wanting to hold you.
“Hi? Is something wrong?” Regardless of how it may seem, Hajime is not good with his words. He opens and closes his mouth a couple of times only for hopeless croaks to escape his throat. He looks, sad. So, so sad. His arms are being brought up, holding out as if he is collecting a reward, well in this case the reward would be to hold you longer.
“Can you come here, please?” Oddly enough you don’t protest, you don’t try to question him. Instead you step towards him as if someone has possessed you, Hajime looks relieved, he doesn’t have to fight for it. Even though, we all know that he would. “Can you, can I — can you let me hold you, please?” Oh. Yeah. You think. It still doesn’t occur to you that Hajime caught onto the way you shorten every hug, halt every kiss before it gets too deep, shake your hand away from his grasp. Physical touch makes you feel queasy, and it is oh so unpleasant. The direct linkage of physical touch to sex makes you uncomfortable, feeling like each touch has to be accompanied by sexual intimacy. Why does it have to be like that?
Once the distance between you decreases he quickly pulls you close, wraps his arms around your torso tightly. Afraid of losing you.
“D-don’t pull away just yet, okay?” You stay, without saying a word. Hajime doesn’t say much either, it doesn’t take long for your breathing to sync with one another. It was peaceful, tranquil. His hand instinctively travels lower towards your waist, and just like clockwork, you pull away, resisting the strength of his arms. You should have known by now that Hajime can rage storms with his eyes but shut them down just as fast with the way his arms bring so much peace.
“Why?” He asks. This isn’t a normal look for Hajime, he looks like he is on the brink of tears. And you feel yours begin to pour. He doesn’t deserve this. You don’t get to treat him like this. Poor boy just wants to show you what genuine touch feels like and you refuse to give him a chance. “Why can’t I touch you? Why can’t I hold you?” He feels so bad. Hajime tries to rethink about all the things he might have done that led you to feeling unbearable being held by him.
Resolve crumbling at your feet. Physical touch is his way of expressing his love, it’s always something that has always bring him comfort, stability, it has grounded him in many situations. He wants to feel close to you, but he has never felt so far away. It feels like a part of himself is always missing, hiding within you. This is cruel. This is isolating.
Without saying much you crouch to reach him, arms wrapping his shoulders, snuggling your head in his neck, situating in its rightful place. You two don’t share much words in this moment, not much is needed to be said anyway. The way he’s breaking down, longing so badly for the touch of his beloved, so much it hurts. The way his neurons fire, sending chills down his back and the way his skin heats up at the moment you make contact. You hold him and you don’t let go. You stay until you both are spent from the tears you shed. “I’ll hold you like this forever if I could, Haji, I’m sorry.” You believe that you finally get it now. Physical touch doesn’t have to feel evil, it can feel just like this. His hands find your torso again, timid, but he’s willing to try. he sighs into your touch, so relieved to be reconnected with the part of himself he once relinquished to you.

Tumblr media
it was tuesday.
a frigid air pierced your limbs and left you to rot away, with the windows shut tight and the door locked. there was no mistakening the dark bags hanging beneath your eyes or the flakes of skin peeling from your bottom lip, nor the soft pleas of your stomach or the iciness of your fingertips. you basked in eternal slumber and silence and darkness and whatnot, save for the ticks of a clock that was 14 minutes behind and the hum of the air conditioning.
you were not frightened in the slightest. the warning signs plastered on your flesh were no great concern, and you could not fathom the idea of having to function again. it was horribly consuming.
with a groan, you released yourself from bed, your legs trembling under the mere weight of the air. you avoided the collections of trash and clothes splayed across the floor, being careful not to disturb the peace that had formed over the past handful of weeks. the sight of the kitchen was much more refreshing.
you were locked in stasis. contrary to the comfort these walls once provided, they now served as a a form of imprisonment, designed to allow the grief and the sorrow and the anger and the guilt to coalesce and spill over. it was terribly suffocating — you wished to escape.
gently, you poured a cup of water (not that you drank more than a sip, anyways). a thought passed your mind.
you needed to leave.
Tumblr media
sendai was a home you could not find solace in anymore. gone was the youth encapsulated in the mountaintops and the hidden pathways and the convenience stores, and no longer could you feel at ease when faced with the neighborhoods you familiarized yourself with as a child.
your new apartment was shared with an old face — one you had only seen glances of in high school, notorious for his glasses and upfront attitude. he bore no hesitance when taking you in. instead, he was grateful for your presence, as if splitting the rent with him had taken off his life’s burden off of his shoulders.
he was quick to set ground rules — laundry days were on saturdays, trash needed to be taken out on sundays, the dish washer had to be clear at the end of the day, all groceries were shared, so on and so forth. you weren’t sure if you could keep up.
it took one week for him to actually conversate.
“why did you come back here?” he questioned, with a tone that implied he knew of you for years upon years (which would be false).
you picked at the skin of your lip. “why do you ask?”
“no reason. just curious.”
in a burst of energy, you recounted the tales of your past life, one of love and youth and joy; of the old apartment, of your past hobbies, of hajime. his gaze was so distant that you weren’t sure if he was listening at all.
in return, he expressed brief apologies and turned the story to himself — he discussed his volleyball career, his teammates, how he felt somewhat disconnected from his high school friends. he did not care to mention the exhaustion riddled into the pores on your face nor the weakness of your voice. that was all you needed. a conversation, not comfort.
only an hour later did he remind you of his name — tsukishima kei — and it was only then that you realized you had moved into an apartment without taking any precautions whatsoever. he laughed when you informed him of the situation.
this was not yet a home, but it was a house. and that was sufficient.
Tumblr media
a month had passed before tsukishima forced you to get a job. he was clearly not a fool — at some point (you couldn’t tell when), he realized you were paying off your share of the rent with your life savings, which irked him ever so slightly.
“do you plan on moving out and dying on the streets when you run out?” he complained, despite the concern laced in the fluctuations of his voice.
you began working at his former high school coach’s family store. the owner himself was welcoming — he didn’t question your circumstances nor your physical state, and merely mentioned in passing that he was “given a token of appreciation from a prized student.”
and so began the cycle. on weekday mornings, you would depart for work and tsukishima would leave for practice. occasionally, he would pack you lunch (“only because i had leftovers,” he’d say) or leave a can of coffee on the counter for you. you would work at the register until the amalgamation of students died down, and once you were left with an empty store, you would take a break and go on a walk (as requested by your boss). then, you would return in the afternoon to serve the same population of children, handing them their ice cream and their sandwiches and whatnot. when they all disappeared, the coach would let you free and dismiss you with a “good work today, let’s do it again tomorrow.”
returning home was your favorite part of the schedule. a majority of the time, tsukishima arrived later than you, leaving you to your own time until he came home with dinner and a drink.
it was a monotonous cycle, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Tumblr media
“i’m cutting off the beer for a month,” tsukishima exclaimed one warm summer night. you left your room to see him collecting unopened bottles and discarding them in a trash bag with little regard. you could only frown.
“those are all going to waste, we haven’t even opened them,” you groaned.
there was no response from the man as he continued to clear the apartment of any alcohol, akin to a parent cleansing their child’s home. before you could protest any further, he shut the door behind him and the crashing of bottles against one another could be heard beside the building.
tsukishima re-entered the apartment with empty hands and furrowed brows. “what’s up with the shitty face?” you asked from the couch.
he clicked his tongue at your comment and bore no response, instead letting his eyes wander to the screen in front of you. the morning news was playing, as usual. and yet, it was so wrong.
the screen flashed to a familiar face, one clad with a slight grin and sweat spread over his skin. his hair had grown slightly and his complexion had darkened, evidence of his labor. but most of all, he looked happy. his eyes screamed with a passion you hadn’t seen before, and despite his haggard appearance, he seemed to be content.
you did not see tsukishima rushing to turn off the television. you did not see the screen turn black, and you did not hear the noise diminish. you did not see tsukishima’s face adjacent to yours.
“hey. let’s go outside,” he muttered before moving to pull you up and out of the house
a delicate breeze washed over you both. the sun began to kiss you goodbye, and the noon crept up in its wake, leaving both of you in the dark.
“he looked so happy,” you whispered. “i don’t know what i’m doing wrong.”
you watched tsukishima light a cigarette in your peripherals, his lighter evidently battered and marred from heavy use. he made no move to offer one to you. “you’re not doing anything wrong,” he spoke firmly, although you could tell he was struggling to formulate the right combination of words in his head. “he’s just… going along a different path.”
“it should’ve been us on the same path. i feel so stupid. he’s gone on to do such great things, and i… what am i doing?”
tsukishima didn’t push the conversation any further. you were grateful.
Tumblr media
a week had passed before tsukishima told you he had gotten you a new job, one deeper in the city. on an early sunday morning, he presented a uniform and badge to you, your name imprinted on both. the effort made you smile.
at some point, a new cycle formed. the museum was a far cry from the run down family store, and tsukishima taught you how to welcome it with an open mind and open arms. he never did mention the exact reason for the new occupation, nor did he tell you why he was so adamant on enforcing routine in your life. nonetheless, you appreciated it.
the mundanity that your new job encapsulated was slightly more enjoyable than that of your former job. exploring the concrete rooms filled with statues and paintings and whatnot was a sufficient way to pass the time. every now and then, you’d catch your roommate detailing a specific sculpture to a curious visitor, the scene contrasting his typical behavior. not that you would ever mention it to him, though.
a new routine was not unwelcome, but it did not feel impactful anymore. you still burned blue in the night, your bones aching with reminiscence over a lost life. your hands and legs still knew tokyo; they still knew the morning commutes and the bustling cafés and the chirping crosswalks and your own home, one that had been so devastatingly haunted by grief. your heart still knew the morning calls and the evening texts and the handfuls upon handfuls of promises made on once solid territory, and yet, you knew to return to it was to betray yourself.
you missed iwaizumi hajime.
rather, you missed the life that you formulated in his presence, opposed to the shambles you had grown comfortable in now that you were back home. tsukishima had carved a clay pot for your worn soul, and yet you could not help but yearn for the comfort and stability and routine you established in a past life.
the soft padding of feet echoed outside your door. soft strings of light streamed under your door as your roommate entered the kitchen, his actions indiscernible as he maneuvered about carefully. you decided to step out to greet him.
a startled tsukishima turned around to face you. “what are you still doing up?” he interrogated, albeit not in offense. “it’s late. we have work tomorrow.”
“but i don’t want to go to work. i want to go home,” you protested. you felt childish all over again — the thirst for selfishness was one that could not escape you, even now. an overwhelming desire to be in control of your own life.
tsukishima furrowed his brows. “to tokyo?” you nodded. “okay… then let’s go to tokyo.” he paid no mind to the slanted smile that transformed your lips, instead opting to turn away and fill up his bottle. “but why?”
“i need to escape,” you sighed, as if releasing a burden that had been lingering for a moment too long. “i need change. i just- i feel so stuck. i need to live.”
he merely hummed in agreement before uttering a comment about your poor sleeping schedule and ushering you back to bed.
Tumblr media
tokyo was a city of hopes and dreams and noise. the shift from sendai’s cicada lullabies and whispers in the wind to the incessant chatter and obnoxious roads of the city was significant — any pedestrian would notice the irritation on you and tsukishima’s faces.
the inn he picked was small, yet slightly more comfortable than your current abode. the owners were kind and your neighbors were quiet, save for the occasional drunk couple. it was a life you remembering living, but not one you yearned for any longer.
in the night, you would both visit various attractions and markets and restaurants, with tsukishima insisting on paying for your meals (“as thanks for getting a life,” he argued). for that handful of days, you bore a smile that you weren’t sure would grace your lips ever again, for there was an adolescence in the evening activities that mended the remnants of your spirit. you felt whole.
on the last day, you brought tsukishima to a ramen house nearby the inn and promised to pay for the meal. it was a tuesday, again.
for reasons you could not discover, that appeared to be one of the busiest nights for the establishment — moments after you had settled, a line began to form, and the tables were crowded with families and friend groups and dates alike.
amidst the composition of metropolitans stood a man you wished you didn’t have to see. as if it were punishment, he locked his eyes with yours, the shock in his complimenting your dread.
you watched as he excused himself from his group while ignoring the cheers and shouts about him “shooting his shot.” tsukishima observed in tandem, seemingly reading the situation from a distance despite sitting right across from you.
you noticed the bold athletic trainer embroidered onto his chest, and the fitted red shirt he wore that matched those of his team. beads of sweat compiled on his forehead — you weren’t sure if it was from the density of the room or his exhaustion or anxiety. a small part of you hoped it was the second option.
“hey,” he began. “can- can we speak outside?”
you could not help but oblige.
hajime seemed to have developed an obsession with fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. you noticed the frayed strands on a spot that aligned perfectly with his hand, and you nearly laughed.
he coughed into his fist before rambling. “i’m sorry. i know you definitely don’t want to see me, and it’s not wrong of you at all to feel that way, but i just- i’ve thought about you- no, i think about you every day up until now. i know i don’t deserve you at all, and me being here is probably super upsetting, but-“
“hajime.”
the way you called his name seemed to deteriorate him and his principles. you finally felt otherwise.
“i really, really, didn’t want to see you at all. i don’t even want the thought of you to pass my mind. i’ve built a life outside of you and i’m tired of you interrupting it.” you witnessed his heart, mind, and body freeze simultaneously.
“i- i understand that, i know, i’m sorry. i’ve been- i’ve been reflecting a lot recently and i’ve known i was horribly in the wrong and i’m ashamed to have done nothing about it, and i know this sounds really, really dumb but i wish i had just stayed with you for that extra day because- because i don’t think i can go any longer without you now that i have you here, in front of me. could we- can we at least… keep in touch?” he seemed to speak without limitations, akin to a leaking clay pot. he was distressed, evidently. but you no longer saw his face and thought of guilt and love and yearning; you held no space for him.
you shook your head gently. “hajime, i don’t want you in my life anymore. you achieved your dreams, and i’m working on finding mine. that’s how it was meant to be.”
if not for the small lamp above the two of you, you would not have noticed the tears spilling onto his face. you bore no sympathy — with a goodbye and a small wave, you left him in the alley with a heavy heart and saline tears.
to witness him before you had awakened the truth riddled in your sinew and bloodstream: iwaizumi hajime was no longer a necessity. a truth that had cowered away beneath guilt and fragility and shame had uncovered itself, and for once, you breathed a full breath.
Tumblr media
oikawa seemed so vibrant on the other side of your screen, the argentinian sun kissing his skin almost perfectly. “…i miss you lots!! i’ll visit soon, maybe, and we can catch up and maybe go get coffee and then debrief and then…” he trailed off with an aloof grin, his words spilling out from your phone and reverberating around the living room. tsukishima stood in the kitchen, the sound of his deliberate chopping and washing contesting oikawa’s voice. “but anyways, i’ll see you soon! byebye!!”
you waved goodbye and hung up, leaving only the noise of your roommate’s cooking. a loud groan left his lips in the midst of his mixing, followed by a complaint about how irritable your friend’s voice was. you could only laugh.
gentle strings of moonlight spilled into the apartment through the kitchen window, the songs of the evening falling upon both of you and your shared comfort. tomorrow was your off day, granting you both an opportunity for an actual meal. tsukishima (begrudgingly) agreed to make your favorite dish, with the request that you’d make his favorite dessert next week.
“thank you for the meal,” you whispered. tonight would consist of good food and a relaxing night, and tomorrow would entail a day of rest and a weekly reset, along with another call with oikawa. with marred hands and a porcelain heart, you had managed at last to craft a solid life — steady health, steady friends, and a steady routine.
you would no longer be second best to anything, and that was sufficient enough.

[a midsummer night's dream] - ft. knight! iwaizumi hajime
warnings/content: princess! reader x knight/personal guard! iwa. fluff mostly, minimal angst. an outtake of it's always been you and inspired by the webtoon series I'm Stanning the Prince!
wc: 1k
--
This is a story about a time long before you married your knight. 
It’s a fond memory you have of your coming of age ball, the morning when you spent hours grooming, primiping, fasting, preparing for the one night of your life when you could finally be seen as a woman. In your mind, there’s only one person you want to notice you tonight and all your efforts would have been worth it if you get even one glance from him. 
And so as your mother announces you to the guests and you descend the staircase with all the grace that the years of etiquette training instilled in you, you’re delighted to see that your knight does indeed have his eyes fully trained on you. 
As is his duty, he awaits you at the bottom, one arm crooked behind his back and one proffered to escort you as you make your rounds to greet those who have come to wish you a happy birthday. 
You think that his simple, “you look beautiful, Princess,” could fuel you all night. You dutifully make your rounds to greet the nobles, moving through the greetings quickly and efficiently, itching to dance your first dance with Hajime.
However, when the dances start, Hajime offers your hand to the first suitor that comes your way.
“Have a wonderful night, princess,” he bows. 
And while it would be a lie to say that your naive heart did not feel betrayed, you have loved Hajime onesidedly for long enough that this does not break you. 
That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, but luckily the gentleman who has led you into the first waltz is polite and funny. His easy banter and teasing make for an enjoyable dance and when he asks to continue through the second and third dances, you think it a favorable alternative to chancing on another partner who is leery for an engagement to the royal family. 
And as you meet the eyes of your knight who stands in a corner, watching over you should you need assistance, you know he has no intention of leaving his post tonight to dance with you. When Hajime reads your gaze as a cry for help, he pushes off the wall to come for you but you simply shake your head and offer him a weak smile, falling back into step with your partner and waltzing the steps of the next song. 
You look beautiful tonight. Iwaizumi means it when he tells you. He’s not pleased at the attention you garner from the men at tonight’s gathering and even more so when he thinks about the fact that all men here tonight at your coming-of-age ball are predatory for an opportunity to win your favor and later, your hand in marriage. 
Purely as a knight who has protected you since your adolescence. 
There could be no other reason for the tautness that takes over his body when he hands you off to the first decent partner for the dances. 
As the first dance comes to a close, he awaits the glance he knows you will give him – to come save you from a full dance card of pesky suitors and small talk. As expected, your signal comes and he begins to stride towards you, intent to offer his hand for the second dance. 
So it’s a surprise when you shake your head and glide back on the dance floor – with the same partner no less. Iwaizumi leans back against the wall, face clouding over as he watches you dance with the same man for the second dance. 
And the third. 
And the fourth. 
There are only five dances. Will he really not get a chance to dance with you tonight? 
The final dance comes on, one he knows you favor and he would be damned if another man got to share your favorite dance when he himself has only practiced with you in private.
Iwaizumi gruffly cuts in, offering a quiet “excuse me,” to your partner and taking your hands without leaving any room for protest. He’s grateful when your partner graciously excuses himself. 
Your steps are perfectly aligned to his, no doubt a result of the hours of being your practice partner. He wants to make a gentle jab at the days you were still stepping on his feet, but you refuse to meet his eyes. 
Instead, he quietly dances, watching your expressions with each turn. 
A minute goes by and you still say nothing. Tiring of your silence, he makes an unpracticed move, picking you up by the hips and twirling you midair.
He’s rewarded with a little yelp wrenched from your throat. 
When he returns you to the ground, your lips pull into a pout and he grins. It’s the expression you make when you are suppressing a smile. 
“Finally ready to talk to me, Princess?” 
You harrumph and turn your head away childishly. Iwaizumi takes that as a win, grinning while the dance continues. 
He is content to finish the night like this until he sees your eyes stray to your previous dance partner, who is now dancing with another. Iwaizumi follows your line of sight to see the other man mouthing something he can’t make out. To Iwaizumi’s dismay, you temporarily pause your pout to giggle.
Frustration and something else he dare not name rears its head. In an impulsive show of possessiveness, the hand resting lightly on your hips winds further around your lower back to push your body flush against his. With his other hand holding yours, his pointer finger forces itself into the space between your pinky and ring finger, not quite a full lovers hold but not as estranged as the hold dance partners are meant to have. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The immense satisfaction is well worth it as your eyes, wide as saucers, are returned to him. 
A brief thought crosses his mind at the thought of the king and queen seeing the current state of the two of you: fingers improperly intertwined and chest inappropriately to chest. 
But the night is glowing so brightly and the apple of your cheeks are flushed so beautifully and your body against his feels so right that he allows you to interpret the smugness pulling at his lips however you please.
Just for tonight.

dating matsukawa issei is like...
a/n: please enjoy the headcanons! off topic but i have like 60 followers rn and i just want to say thank you very much and please send in requests!! beware of the smut below the cut (all smut is post timeskip)
Tumblr media
★ - before dating matsukawa, you'd been crushing on him. and you'd been crushing on him for a while. ever since your first year of high school you'd found yourself growing incredibly fond of the heavy-lidded boy in your mathematics class.
★ - three years later, halfway through your third year, you confess to him on Valentine's Day. he's amused by your confession, watching you stare at your feet as you hold out a small box of chocolates and pink letter with neat handwriting out to him.
★ - it's more surprising to you when he accepts, curious and teasing the shy girl who'd confessed to the closed off matsukawa issei.
★ - he's very comfortable with you right off the bat, and there's no special milestones for things. he sits with you at lunch, or well, he drags you over to his table and introduces you to his volleyball friends.
★ - he always has an arm around your shoulders or waist. he likes holding you close to his side, enjoying how small you felt next to how tall he was. you certainly weren't complaining.
★ - loves hugging you from behind, resting his chin on your head and his hands dangling off your shoulders. also a big ego boost for him about his height.
★ - loves lazy cuddling in his bed. holds you close as the two of you watch a movie at his house. you groan when he falls asleep, but he grumbles and says, "how can I help it when you're so soft?"
★ - holds your chin when you kiss, so you can't get embarrassed and pull away. of course, if you want to stop, he will, but he won't let you hide. not from him.
★ - carries your bags and books for you in the school hallway.
★ - you have a box in his closet with all your belongings for when you're over there. sweatshirts, underwear, etc...
★ - handholding is a must. he's a surprisingly affectionate guy for seemingly being so lazy.
★ - buys your favorite flavor of chapstick so he always tastes good for you when you kiss. it's small, but it's sweet and thoughtful.
★ - always is sharing clothes with you. sometimes he'll purposefully leave his sweatshirts at your house in hopes you'll show up to school the next day.
★ - always buys you your favorite chocolates before dates. he'll stop by the store and grab them, even if you guys are just going to a picnic in the park or something.
★ - loves swimming. he loves to drag you and the other third-years to go swimming with him. is constantly pushing you off the dock and then jumping in after to you and pretending he didn't.
★ - is always willing to give piggyback rides when your feet/legs hurt. volleyball has built up a lot of muscle for him, and lifting you is no harder than lifting his baby brother.
★ - petnames include "baby, sugar, and sweetheart." along with multiple silly nicknames based on your name.
★ - dating matsukawa issei feels like summer all over again, even in the deep frostbite of japan's winter season. he's warm and soft and cuddly. he feels like late mornings in bed, sheets tangled and the sun peering in through the windows. it feels like freshly washed linen and blooming gardens. matsukawa issei feels like a breath of fresh air.
Tumblr media
★ - matsukawa pins your wrists above you as you fuck, watching you gasp and squirm and be completely unable to do something about it as he overstimulates you.
★ - matsukawa can't keep his mouth off you. he's kissing your lips, your breasts, sucking deep marks into your neck, biting at your hips.
★ - matsukawa pounds into you until the sheets beneath you both are soaked with your fluids and the only noise leaving you are soft little "ah-ah-ah"'s.
★ - matsukawa loves to brush your hair from you eyes and watch as they cloud over with lust and want.
★ - matsukawa can't help but smirk and grow a bit hard when he sees you in your bathing suit.
★ - he loves sweet dirty talk.
★ - "can't help but touch you when you look so pretty just for me, baby."
★ - doesn't let you hide your face. "c'mon baby, let me see your face when you cum."
★ - is obsessed with eating you out. he loves the way you taste, and feels intoxicated when he's between your thighs. matsukawa issei is totally pussy drunk off you.
★ - he absolutely adores teasing you in public, watching you blush and bite your lip as your thighs rub together. you try so hard to maintain conversation with oikawa, iwaizumi, and hanamaki but you can't help the way you stutter and squirm as his hand brushes your clit, fingers touching you through your soaked panties.
★ - he loves it when you whine and cry for him.
★ "please," you gasp, reaching for him. he pins your hands above your head with one hand of his own, and your hips buck lightly. "i need you, issei."
★ - "shh, don't cry baby," he'll coo as he kisses your wet cheeks, "i'll touch you baby, i promise."
★ - he begs for just the tip after a stressful day at work, and he keeps his promise to go no further but you can't help the way you twitch and squirm. he'll hide his face in your neck, his hand firmly planted on your hip as he tries so hard not to bottom-out in you.
★ - laughs as your hands fumble with his belt, shaking and desperate for his cock.
★ - covers his mouth and hopes his groans are relatively quiet when you sneak under his desk while on a video call with his clients at the funeral home. tries his hardest to stay focused as you lick along his length and pop his tip into your mouth.
★ - loves semi-public sex. he'll fuck you in a closet at a family gathering, tease you under the table, grind against you behind the kitchen counter while everyone else is in the kitchen.
★ - has very high stamina and can easily go a handful of rounds. your pleasure always comes before his anyway.

party favor by billie eilish
for Track 13: Cool Girl
Tumblr media
 You don’t love Iwaizumi Hajime. Not anymore. Not for a while.
You’re not really sure when it started, or if you even tried to stop it. You just began to realize that your high school sweetheart wasn’t so sweet. He was cold. He lied. But he sweet-talked you in ways that made you think it was okay. So you changed yourself to make him love you, and he did. You just hated yourself, that's all. You don’t love Iwaizumi Hajime, not anymore. But for some reason, you still pretend as you do.
You’ve been together for ten years now. You stayed with him after high school, supported him when he left for California, and moved in together when he got back.
You’re twenty-six now lying in your shared bed with Iwaizumi when he comes out of the bathroom and climbs in with you, planting a kiss on your head.
“Hey, baby.” “Hi,” you greet him lifelessly but give him a warm smile nonetheless.
“You know what tomorrow is right?”
“Yeah, how could I forget? The Iwaizumi Hajime is turning twenty-seven.”
“Have anything planned,” he hints and you nod.
“Yeah, but I need you out of the house while I get everything ready. So go hang out with the boys or something.”
Iwaizumi did just that. He stayed out of the house for hours presumably hanging you with his friends as you said, but as long as he didn’t come home before you were finished, you didn’t care.
His surprise took a lot of labor and a lot of outside help. But finally, at nearly seven at night, you finished and left his gift on the table. Quickly texting him he could return minutes later.
He got back half an hour later, setting his keys on the hook, like usual. He looked over to the coffee table, where a singular gift was placed on the edge of it. He walked over toward it with a smile opening it quickly.
“No way,” he whispers. You had got him what he had wanted since he was twenty-one not yet available until now. “You’re the best babe!” he calls out only to get no response. “Baby?”
Where were you? It wasn’t like you to just not answer, but he sees your keys on the coffee table so it’s obvious you’re here. He looks around the apartment for any sight of you. But you’re nowhere to be found and to his shock and heartbreak, neither is any of your belongings. His heart constricts and for a moment it feels like he can’t breathe. You left him.
You don’t love Iwaizumi Hajime. Not anymore, not for a while. And finally, you’ve grown tired of pretending as you do.

If your nails dragging along his lower stomach and the loving kisses to his temple weren’t going to wake him up, the surprise tackle from his 30 pound three year old straight to the chest would.
“Told you I’d sic her on you if you didn’t get moving,” he hears you chuckle mercilessly. He tries to wrangle the scrambling child on top of him, but his movements are far too clumsy from their interrupted sleep. “Breakfast is almost done. It’s your favorite, so you’d better be at the table in ten, boo-bear.” He hears your slippers shuffle as you leave the room, leaving just him and the little backstabber in his warm bed.
“I told you not to call me that!” He grumbles at your leaving form, knuckling his eyes and turning his attention up at the tiny traitor, who’s still bouncing excitedly on her knees. “Why do you let her be so mean to me?”
“‘Cause mommy makes better strawber’ milk,” she says confidently, and he can’t even try to fight the amusement that wants to splay on his face.
“Well,” he sighs. “Can’t argue with that.” She giggles and rests her forehead against his, blinking those doe eyes innocently at him, and he groans as he tries to bury his face away for just a little bit more rest.
Too early for her to be so damn cute.
“Five more minutes,” he grumbles into the pillow. His daughter pokes his cheek, making his eyes peel back open again, bleary with exhaustion but still able to make out the adorable determination on her face.
“Go away.“
“Mommy says we gots’ get up now,” she pouts, once again prodding his forehead, this time with a finger.
He smacks his lips and casually blinks his tired eyes, an arm darting out to pull and clutch the small child to his chest, fighting back the smirk as she kicks and laughs to try and get away from his playful hold.
“Mommy doesn’t tell me what to do,” he hums, nosing at her wispy hair while she finally stills and burrows closer to his chest for snuggles. “You listen to me. I’m the boss around here.”
“Okay dadda!”
He pauses once she goes quiet.
“Don’t tell her I said that.”
Osamu, Kuroo, KIYOOMI, SUNA, Hajime, BAKUGO, Shinsou

Fake Dating
❅Genre : Fluff  / Crack , Angst
❅Pairings: Iwaizumi x Reader 
                     Tsukishima x Reader
                     Kuroo x Reader 
❅Warnings: Angst, mentions of cheating but not the reader, vulgar language, a lotta crack cuz it's the seijoh 4, sexual because tumblr said so
❅Word Count: 10,395
❅A/N: OKAY THE IWAIZUMI ONE MIGHT BE VERY SELF INDULGENT BUT I CAN’T HELP IT I LOVE HIM
I also cried writing his 
Tumblr media
Iwaizumi
“Make sure you don’t miss that spike! Y/N-chan’s watching~~” Oikawa teased as Iwaizumi looked over to you almost missing his spike making the third years laugh
“YOU ALMOST MISSED!” Makki teasingly yelled from across the court
“Aww, Iwa-chan I didn’t know you wanted to impress Y/N-chan that badly!” Oikawa laughed loudly but soon stopped once a very angry Iwaizumi glaring at him
“I swear I’ll fucking kill you if you do that again” Iwaizumi threatened making the setter gulp
“Luckily Iwaizumi won’t do that in front of Y/N” Kindaichi whispered to the other lower years
“Alright Let’s all take a water break!” Matsun yelled holding a bunch of water bottles
The whole team expected you to greet them with your usual lunches that you’d prepare for all of them. But instead, they were greeted with a very bummed-looking Y/N watching their phone.
“Looks like they didn’t see what happened earlier, lucky you” Makki teased as Iwaizumi looked at him with annoyance
“Yahoo Y/N-chan! I hope you have your lunches you pack they’re delicious!” Oikawa exclaimed happily getting zero response from you
“They look really distracted  with their phone” Yahaba pointed out as he drank from his water bottle
“Hello? Earth to Y/N!” Oikawa yelled waving a hand in front of your face
“Huh? Oh are you all done?” you asked as everyone gave you weird looks
“We’re having a water break” Matsun said sitting down
“Yeah and where are those lunches you usually pack” Oikawa asked as you looked through your bag
“Here they are” you spoke sadly as you gave Oikawa your packed lunch making everyone concerned
“Thanks! I was starving!” Oikawa said in relief as Iwaizumi smacked the back of his head
“Nevermind that,  is something wrong?” Iwaizumi asked sitting next to you
“Yeah where's that happy-go-lucky Y/N we all love” Makki said as he wrapped his arms around your shoulders
“Sorry, It’s just I’ve got a family gathering in a few days” you folded your arms laying your head on them
“That doesn’t sound that bad” Watari said confused
“No no you don’t get it” you sighed “Every year we have a big family gathering and I always get asked if I have a boyfriend/girlfriend or whatever” you continued
“Well, do you?” Oikawa asked curiously as he ate 
“No, and that's the problem” you sigh in frustration “If I show up there without one they’re gonna hook me up with some egotistical dunce face and if that doesn’t work out they’ll send another one” you scowled
“Yeesh sounds stupid” Matsun patted your back
“Yeah all because ‘I’m currently the only person in the family without a partner and they don’t want me to die like an old maid’” you mocked sarcastically
“Well, why don’t you hire a s/o? Can’t you rent a s/o here?” Oikawa suggested
“That’s too expensive I have nowhere near enough to rent one” you sighed
“Why don’t you follow Oikawa’s idea and get a fake one?” Makki 
“Yeah! Someone handsome and irresistible like me!” Oikawa smirked making everyone groan
“No they already know that I’d never date anyone like you” you chuckled at Oikawa’s pouty face
“Yeah you both wouldn’t be able to keep that up, he can’t even keep a real one” Makki mocked making the setter even poutier causing you all to laugh more
“Fine, what kinda boyfriend would convince them” Oikawa irritatedly asked
“Well definitely not someone as goofy as Makki” you thought out loud 
"I’ll take that as a compliment" Makki smiled
“I guess someone responsible, kind, and not a flirt?” You suggested as Oikawa grinned smugly
“Oh, I think I have the perfect guy!” Oikawa smirked victoriously
“Huh who?” You asked befuddled
“He’s sitting right beside you” Oikawa said mischievously as you looked at Iwaizumi 
“Oh yeah! Hajime fits their view of a perfect s/o” you smiled as Iwaizumi began to blush
“Yeah plus you’re both pretty close, it shouldn’t be that hard” Matsun gave a suggestive look to the blushing ace
“I-I mean I don’t really mind if you really want… or need one” Iwaizumi said nervously hiding his face
“Yeah! We’re close buddies which will make it so much easier and less awkward!” You jumped in joy
“Oh but we gotta make it convincing! Tomorrow let’s go out and do whatever the heck couples do!” You suggested
“And we can help with that” Makki interjected as Oikawa and Matsun nodded
“Alright, I’ll see you later then!” You happily ran out of the gym
“I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU THREE” Iwaizumi yelled furiously as the lower years hold him down
“Before you try to kill us at least you’ve basically got to experience what’s like to be with Y/N” Oikawa defended making Iwaizumi scoff
“I know you did that on purpose” Iwaizumi said angrily 
“Like our flat captain said at least you’re gonna go on a date with Y/N” Makki reaffirmed “And with the ideas I have in mind they’ll be head over heels for you” Makki smiled mischievously
After school Makki and Oikawa told you their ridiculous ideas which you mostly ignored. Thankfully the days before the party was the weekends so you both had enough time to make your fake relationship as real as possible. You both decided that the park and the mall would be the best places for fake dates.
“Did you listen to anything they said yesterday?” you asked looking at Iwaizumi
“No, all their ideas were stupid” Iwaizumi scoffed making you chuckle
“Well some of them were good, but after a while, it got stupider and stupider” you said while you both walked to the park
“What do you wanna do first?” He asked
“Well I was thinking we could have like a picnic here for lunch, then do whatever they suggested in the mall” you explained as he nodded
“Well we could start with taking pictures over there” Iwaizumi pointed to the cherry blossom tree which had leaves falling out
“Yeah! That’s a great idea!” You said excitedly as you ran towards the tree
Iwaizumi took pictures of you playing around with the petals that fell off the tree. He had to admit seeing you act like a child looked pretty cute.
“Hajime! You need to be in the pictures too y'know!” You called out as he walked towards you
“Right I forgot sorry” he chuckled “I couldn’t help it though, you looked like a child playing with the petals” he said making you blush
“I guess cherry blossoms make me feel like a child again” you both laughed
You then took a picture of you both laughing in the pile of petals you were both in 
“This is the perfect place for the picnic!” You said as you grabbed the picnic mat from your bag
“You seem pretty excited about all of this despite being all fake” Iwaizumi chuckled as he set the food on the mat
“It’s cuz I like hanging out with you” You smiled brightly as Iwaizumi blushed “I don’t spend as much time with you as I do with the others” you grab the sandwiches you made giving him one
“Yeah… I guess we don’t” he smiled quietly as he ate his sandwich
He hated to admit it but Oikawa and Makki were right. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to indulge the experience of dating you even if it is fake. His thoughts were interrupted as he saw you staring at him.
“Is there something on my face” he spoke as you blinked
“Yeah you’ve this on top of your head” you giggled as you take the flower of his head
“Why don’t you keep it” he suggested taking the flower from your hand as you tilt your head in confusion “You can keep it right up here” he placed the flower in your hair on top of your ear making you blush
“Oh! Like a memory to this day!” You smiled as he nodded
After your little picnic, you both went to the closest mall to do the other things they suggested and later have dinner. But first, you needed to do a little shopping.
“Y/N aren’t we supposed to take pictures to make this thing look real? Why are we shopping?” Iwaizumi gave a half confused half annoyed look
“We need matching outfits for the party! Or wait maybe opposite outfits- outfits! We need outfits for the party!” You explain as you look through the clothing store as he sighed
“I’m guessing this is a formal party?” Iwaizumi said as you threw more possible outfit choices on the cart
“Kinda? It’s always semi-casual and semi-formal but we still need something presentable!” you exclaimed as you put more possible outfits on the cart
“Before we go and look for more why don’t we try some on” Iwaizumi suggested as he emphasized the full cart
You both tried the countless outfits you chose. You have now just realized how many clothes you put in the cart. Luckily you and Iwaizumi could easily sort them since most of them were either too formal or too casual.
“It looks like you mindlessly threw a bunch of clothes in the cart” Iwaizumi said as he looked through the pile of clothes
“Sorry” you smiled nervously “This is the only time we have a gathering so it’s kinda important for my family” you explained as you look through more of the clothes
“You miss them too, right?” Iwaizumi asked as you nod
“Yeah of course! But that’s only after the millions of awkward questions they give me” you sighed
“I see…” Iwaizumi spoke softly
“I FOUND THE PERFECT ONE” you said holding the two pairs of clothes as Iwaizumi sighed in relief
After trying it out you both decided it was definitely the perfect outfit to wear at the gathering. You took the opportunity to take a picture of Iwaizumi carrying the bag since you thought it was very gentleman-like. After eating dinner you both decided to go home.
“Thanks for today Hajime” you smiled as you both walked  “I’m glad we got the day to spend more time together ignoring the reason why” you chuckled making Iwaizumi blush
“No problem it was fun” Iwaizumi smiled as you both walk by the ice cream store
“Oh! Can we go get ice cream” you said excitedly as he chuckled at your adorableness
“Sure my treat” Iwaizumi offered as you smile brightly in excitement
Before you enter the store you both see a little boy gazing at the store
“Mommy, can we go get an ice cream?” The little boy pulled his mother’s arm
“Maybe next time” his mother said making the child pout
“You always say that” the boy sniffed sadly making your heartache “I’m sorry we just can’t afford it” his mother explained as she wiped his tears
You see Iwaizumi walk over to the boy
“Hey little guy you really want an ice cream?” he asked to which the boy nodded
“Oh you don’t have to!” the mother looked at Iwaizumi in embarrassment
“It’s fine ma’am I insist” he smiled “Why don’t you go pick one in the store” Iwaizumi opened the door as the boy jumped in excitement yelling “Yay!” as he went in
“I can’t choose” the boy said as he went up to you “Excuse me miss can you help me?” the boy asked
“Sure! But there’s a lot of cool ones so even for me it's hard to choose” you put your hand on your chin “you could go with this one! Oh but this one’s also good” Iwaizumi chuckled at your indecisiveness
After helping the boy choose you walked out of the store to say goodbye
“What do you say to the kind man and his girlfriend/boyfriend?” The boy's mother asked making you both blush profusely
“Thank you!” The boy gave a toothy smile as you both smiled back
“No problem” Iwaizumi motioned a high-five to the boy as he excitedly did
“Goodbye!” The boy said as they both left
“You know that kid reminds me of you when we were in middle school” Iwaizumi smiled softly 
“Is that why you decided to give him a free ice cream” you teased making him blush
“N-no you used to whine all the time when you didn’t have the money to buy an ice cream until I gave you mine” Iwaizumi looked away in annoyance as you giggled
“I know, thank you for all your ice creams” you smiled
The next day you reviewed the possible questions your family might ask Iwaizumi. After a few more fake dates it was time for the gathering. You both wore the outfits you chose and hopped in an Uber to the family gathering. As you arrived a wave of nervousness hit you.
“Nervous?” Iwaizumi looked over to you as you nod making him chuckle “It’s okay I’m always here” he held your hand making you blush 
“I’m ready” you took a breath as Iwaizumi opens the door for you revealing  that you both were the last ones to arrive
CRAP! WE’RE LATE you nervously panic seeing everyone looking at the two of you but you begin to calm down once you feel him firmly holding your hand. You see your mom waving for your corresponding seats so you both walk over to the table.
“Y/N we were so worried you wouldn’t come” your mother said as she patted down to the two empty seats
“Oh, are we late?” You asked nervously
“No no, everyone just got here early, surprisingly” she said “You’re both right on time, take a seat!” Your mom pats the empty seat again
“Oh right sorry!” Iwaizumi moves the chair for you as you mouth a thank you to which he smiled in response
“What a gentleman” your brother teased sarcastically which you respond with a glare
“Haven’t I seen you before?” Your mother asked 
“I’m part of the volleyball team in the school Y/N goes to and we’ve been on local TV a few times” Iwaizumi explained
“A gentleman and he’s sporty! Didn’t think Y/N was capable of catching such a fish!”  your brother snickered as you roll your eyes
“Where’s dad?” you looked around
“He’s talking to some of our uncles over there” your sister pointed at the wine section
“Right, dad hasn’t even met your boyfriend he’s definitely gonna ask millions of questions” your brother mischievously smiled making Iwaizumi nervous “So while he’s gone why don’t we ask some first” your brother sneered as he put his hands on his chin
“If you don’t mind I’d love to see some pictures of you both together” your mother requested as you gave your phone
That’s why they wanted to do all those fake dates Iwaizumi thought as your mother looks through your phone
“Oh Y/N is this your boyfriend?” Your aunt said excitedly as she walked over to your mom looking through your camera roll
“You finally got a boyfriend? Looks like we were all wrong about you growing into an old maid” your cousin teased making your brother laugh
“Awww you both look so cute!” your aunt squealed making you both blush profusely
After you and Iwaizumi answered the millions of questions from everyone you saw your dad walk over to the table making you extremely nervous. As he sat down he looked over to you and your “boyfriend.” The awkwardness made your brother silently chuckle as you sent a harsh glare to him.
“We should go now” your aunt and cousins zoomed away
“Is this the guy you were talking about when you asked to prepare at your boyfriend’s house?” Your father asked sternly
“Y-Yeah” you replied nervously
“You’re the same age as Y/N? Same school as Y/N? Excellent grades? No school violations?” Your father berated Iwaizumi with questions 
“F/N you’re scaring them” your mother lightly scolded 
“You were the one who wanted them to get a s/o which I didn’t agree with” your father reminded as your mother sighed
“Correction everyone but you wanted Y/N to get a s/o” your brother interjected
“And? I won’t let them end up like you with your… flings” your father scowled in disgust as your brother rolled his eyes
“F/N he’s a genuinely great kid, honest, polite, kind, responsible, and all of that!” Your mother defended “As long as you put your faith in them our child is in good hands” your mother smiled to both of you which eased your nerves
“Alright…” your father huffed “I’ll trust the both of you” your father sighed as he ate making you sigh quietly in relief
After the party was over you were relieved from all that stress. It wasn’t so bad after your mom defended you but you won’t admit you were famished. You decided to personally thank your mom before you left
“Thanks, Mom” you smiled pulling her for a tight hug
“No need to thank me” your mom smiled back and gave Iwaizumi a nod of approval 
“Where’s my hug and thanks? I defended you too y’know” your brother crossed your arms
“Thanks too I guess” you hugged him 
“But we should get going, bye!” You waved as they did the same
“For a fake relationship your father sure made it feel like a real one” Iwaizumi chuckled as you both walk outside
Right, it’s all fake you thought to yourself making your heartache
“Sorry to make you go through all that you really didn’t have to” you spoke quietly
“Y/N you don’t need to worry I’d never hesitate in doing this again” Iwaizumi smiled weakly as your heart skipped a beat
“Why?” you asked frowning at the thought that he’d do anything for you even if it ended him in getting into conflict
“Because…” he stopped
“Because what?” You asked looking to him
“We’re friends” he smiled as you felt an intense wave of sorrow and hurt though you managed to smile back weakly
You turned around to walk away but you soon stopped at the sound of Iwaizumi’s voice
“I don’t want us to just be that” he continued making your eyes widen as your heart starts beating fast
“I did all this because I care about you a lot… more than a friend even” you turned around to see Iwaizumi starting to tear up
“I know it was all fake but I enjoyed every second… It may be selfish of me but… I don’t want it to end” Iwaizumi spoke his voice was shaky as he tried to hold his tears back 
“I love you Y/N… I don’t want to let you go” tears poured from Iwaizumi’s cheeks as you embraced him tightly shocking him 
“Don’t worry” you spoke softly “I don’t wanna let go either” he looked at you with shock as you gave him a sweet smile
“Can we continue it for real this time?” You asked as he placed a kiss on your forehead
“I’d love to” he smiled
Tumblr media
Tsukishima
You've always been surrounded by your fans everywhere you went. School was no exception. During break, every student would try to sit with you and if there were partnerships or group projects you'd always be the first to be asked. You really didn't mind as you appreciated all the support and this was the price to pay when you made the biggest hits in Japan. The only thing you particularly minded was when you have over-the-top obsessed fans or stalkers. Luckily in public, you could easily avoid them however this one obsessed fan was unfortunately in your school. Still, it wouldn't be that hard with the mass amount of students at the school but unfortunately, you shared one class with this “fan”.
“Good morning class. Just like last semester I'm going to change your seating arrangement again” your teacher said as you start to worry
She then guides your classmates one by one to their seats as you were left last
“And Y/N over there” she pointed to the empty chair next to Yuta making you pale as white
“You've got to be kidding me” you panicked internally as you went to your seat and sat down
“Hey Y/N” he smiled innocently
“Hey…” you awkwardly smile back
“Looks like we'll be seat buddies” you swore you can hear the sly smile from his voice
“Yeah cool!” you smiled hoping he would drop the conversation
“Yeah! Especially since math isn't your strongest subject right?” He continued
“I can manage” you said with slight coldness in your voice
“Well if you need help I'm right next to you” he smiled finally ending the conversation between the both of you
You felt the life draining out of you during that class. Yuta kept trying to make conversation with you. You were sure he could take the hint and was just talking to you because he could. Luckily during break, you could easily get away from him.
“Hey Y/N over here!” Hinata waved excitedly as you went over to him
“Hey guys” you waved as you sat down
“Is something wrong you looked bummed out” Suga asked with concern
“Well y'know that fan in our school that constantly stalks me” you sighed playing with your food
“You mean your whole fan club” Tsuki rolled his eyes
“No not that one you glared the one that's like a whole different level of creepiness” you explained
“WHAT! THAT CREEP?!” Noya gasped in disgust
“Yeah, we're seatmates now woohoo!” You said sarcastically 
“Can't you ask your teacher to switch?” Asahi asked
“Unfortunately no he's very reputable in the school they're not gonna believe me” you laid your face on the table 
“It's okay Y/N you can get through this!” Hinata encouraged
“Thank you” you hugged him as he returns the hug
“It's a shame math is the only subject none of us share with you” Yamaguchi said sadly
“And it's the only subject they share with him” Kageyama lightly scoffed making you even more bummed out
“I'll get through this!” You tried encouraging yourself
“Stop lying to yourself it makes you more pathetic than you already are” Tsukishima rolled his eyes as you sent a glare
“Looks like it’s gonna be another glare war” Asahi chuckled
“This is gonna be a long day” Daichi sighed in annoyance
After a few more peaceful classes it was time to go home. You thought you would have a peaceful walk home but you were very wrong. As you went to the gate you saw a putrid familiar face waiting for you by the gate.
“Hey Y/N!” Yuta waved as you tried walking past him only for him to walk right next to you
“Hey… Do you need something?” You asked quickly getting annoyed
“I was thinking why don’t we walk home together” he suggested slyly smiling
“It’s okay I’m comfortable going myself” you smiled fakely wanting to punch the grin on his face
“Are you sure? You’re pretty big around here and you won’t be safe getting chased by a mob of fans” he asked with concern as he walked in front of you
Do I even have a choice at this point you thought
“It’s really okay I-” you tried explaining getting quickly interrupted by a hand on your shoulder
“If you’re so concerned about her wellbeing I’ll go with her” Tsukishima nonchalantly said
“Oh! Tsukishima!” You gasped in surprise
“I don’t know, I've only seen you two fighting all the time… Are you sure you aren’t just gonna laugh while they get chased” Yuta narrowed his eyes
“You flatter me” Tsukishima faked a chuckle “Are you giving them a choice to walk with you or are you forcing them to go with you” Tsukishima glared intensely 
“No no, it’s not like that! It’s Y/N’s choice after all” Yuta smiled looking at you as you felt his aura of anger seeth around him
“Thank you for the offer but… We have stuff to do” Yuta gives you a look of confusion as you look at Tsukishima for an excuse as he rolled his eyes
“You’ve already forgotten our homework? Typical Y/N” Tsukishima scoffed in annoyance as you try to hide the urge to smack him
“Yeah! And we're doing it at his house” you smiled innocently
“Alright then stay safe…” Yuta walked away as you sigh in relief
“Jeez, can't you take care of anything yourself? Just say no” Tsukishima crossed his arms
“You said it yourself earlier he wasn’t giving me a choice” you glared harshly as he rolled his eyes
“Whatever” he scoffed “Let’s go before that idiot comes back” he said walking ahead
“Huh? You’re walking me home” you look at him with a very confused face
“Yeah you dumbass we actually have homework” he face palmed as you scoff
“Would it kill you to be nicer” you crossed your arms as you walked
“I’m sorry did I hurt the princess’ feelings?” Tsukishima smiled sarcastically as you glared
“Maybe walking with him would be much better than you” you quietly said
“Huh? Did the pipsqueak say something?” He teased
“I said nothing!” You scowled grumpily
“That’s what I thought” Tsukishima smugly smiled as you both walk outside the school gates
“Thanks again, I mean it” you smiled softly which made Tsukishima blush slightly
“Yeah whatever” he shrugs off as you both walk home
The next day as you arrive at school you are greeted with a tight hug by Hinata while Kageyama chases after him.
“Hi Y/N!” Hinata looked up to you excitedly
“You seem pretty excited” you smiled back
“I’m always excited for volleyball!” Hinata jumped in joy
“HEY! DON’T RUN OFF LIKE THAT!” Kageyama said breathlessly
“I heard from Yamaguchi that you walked home with Tsukishima! What’s up with that?” Hinata asked you curiously ignoring the other fellow
“Oh it’s because Yuta was offering to walk home with me… Actually forcing me is a better term” you sighed
“That guy never knows when to quit!” Hinata pouted making you aww at his adorableness
“At Least Tsukishima was there” Hinata sighed in annoyance
“Yeah… he was good company” you smiled 
“You should file a restraining order on that guy” Kageyama suggested
“I think that’s a bit too much” you chuckled awkwardly
“What are you gonna do about him he doesn’t sound like he’s gonna stop” Kageyama crossed his arms worriedly 
“I’ll go after him and beat him up!” Hinata exclaimed getting into a fighting position making you smile
“Thank you Hinata but I’m sure there’s another way to resolve this without any violence or getting the authorities involved” you ruffled his hair as Hinata put his hand on his chin
“I guess you’re gonna have to deal with that until you figure out a solution” Kageyama sighed
“I’VE GOT AN IDEA!” Hinata thought out loud 
“No” Tsukishima stated coldly
“Come on! It’s the only solution!” Hinata pouted angrily
“Out of everyone you think of, you pick me? Even the thought of pretending to be with her repulses me” Tsukishima scoffed
“You sure picked a nasty one” you rolled your eyes
“Exactly! He’s grumpy, nasty, and intimidating! It will definitely scare off all the creeps!” Hinata triumphantly said hoping you’d both be convinced
“I mean if it will keep him away…” you looked at Tsukishima
“The final answer is no. If you excuse me I have to get to class” Tsukishima walked away annoyed as you sighed
“Wait! We share a class!” Hinata ran as he caught up with Tsukishima
“Don’t think I know what you’re doing” Tsukishima glared at the shorter fellow
“Doing what?” Hinata asked innocently
“I don’t like her end of story” Tsukishima scowled as he walked faster
“You sure do care too much even if you say you don’t” Hinata murmured as Tsukishima glared 
“This conversation is done” Tsukishima seethed coldly
“I’m just saying who knows maybe if you both pretend to be together, maybe they’ll end up liking you back” Hinata suggested making a small smug grin as Tsukishima stops
You’ve finally reached the class you’ve been dreading to go to. As soon as you go in lo and behold he’s already there waiting, even patting the seat right next to him as if he saved it just for you. You took a deep breath before heading to your seat.
“You look troubled, something on your mind?” He asked 
You wish he would just stop being so hyper-friendly with you and shut up 
“Nothing’s wrong, I’m just tired” you faked a yawn 
“Oh right! You must be exhausted from touring!” He chuckled at his idiocy making you sour
You, fortunately, got through the period and survived all his countless stupid questions. You rush quickly to get out but as you leave the door you get pulled by a familiar glasses wearer.
“Hey! Ever heard of a greeting!” You yell in annoyance as he continued to grab your hand ignoring whatever you said
“You’ll thank me later songbird” you frown at the nickname as Tsukishima drags you to a more secluded area
“What in the world do you want this time?” you asked in irritation as he lets go of your hand
“Is that guy still bothering you?” He asked ignoring your question
“Yuta? Yeah, wouldn’t stop berating me with questions” you rolled your eyes remembering the thought
“I’ll agree to that idiot’s plan” Tsukishima  crossed his arms coldly
“Huh, which plan?” You questioned innocently 
“For someone who has high grades you sure are stupid and forgetful” he smirked sarcastically as you glare  “The fake dating thing idiot” He scoffed
“Really? Thank you!” You hug him tightly as he blushes madly “I don't think I could take his stalking anymore!” You tightened your hug even more as he tried pushing you away
“Maybe ask before you hug me?” Tsukishima grimaced as you let go
“Oh sorry!” You scratched the back of your neck blushing
Later that day others offered to help you make the plan as real as possible. A lot of arguing mostly between you and Tsukishima refusing to do “things that normal couples do”. 
“Please complimenting her every minute is the last thing I’d do” Tsukishima scoffed
“Yeah that’s really cheesy” you rolled your eyes
“You guys said you wanted to trick him! You're gonna have to make cheesy sacrifices” Tanaka crossed his arms as the two of you sigh in annoyance
“The final step is kissing!” Hinata said excitedly
“NO!” You both yelled in unison
“Awww c’mon! If you both don’t wanna do anything we mention kissing would be more than enough” Hinata soured
“Don’t you think for fake dating that’s a bit too much” you reasoned out
“Y/N’s right kissing is overstepping it” Suga agreed as Hinata pouted and crossed his arms
“Then you’re gonna have to do everything else we’ve mentioned!” Noya smiled as you both sighed
The very next day you decided to take your plan into action
“When you both walk into school, hold hands!” Noya instructed as you sulk
“GO! GO! GO!” Noya shouted pushing the both of you into the school gates
Tsukishima nervously puts his hand on yours. His face goes beet red from getting to hold your hand.
“Your hand feels nice…” you smiled sweetly as his blush grows 
“W-what the hell do you mean by that?” Tsukishima asked nervously
“Oh, I thought it would be salty and sour” you giggled as scoffed “But it’s soft… I like it” you smiled softly 
“Your hand feels nice too… I guess” Tsukishima complimented
“Looks like we got the hand holding and complimenting down” you punch a fist in the air and smile, an action that Tsukishima couldn’t help but find cute
Your excitement comes to a close as you realize everyone in the hallway was watching you surprised at the both of you holding hands and having a normal conversation instead of arguing every five minutes
“Right! I forgot everyone in school’s gonna talk about this” you gulp in nervousness
“Not just the school, the whole of Japan” Tsukishima stated nonchalantly making you more nervous
“I’m sorry you're probably gonna get dragged around by the media after this” you said quietly playing with your hands
“Don’t worry it’ll be fine unlike you I can tell them to fuck off” Tsukishima smirked sarcastically as you pout
“That’s because you're a certified jerkwad” you cross your arms 
“Well you’re gonna have to deal with it pipsqueak” he said as the smugness in his tone increasing
“Let’s just get to our first class!” You scowled as you both walk into your first class
You did everything the others instructed you to. You were sure Yuta saw what you both did since he never leaves you alone at school. The gossip between you two was the only thing the school would talk about. Your next class was the dreaded Math class. You were nervous as you didn’t know what to expect when you sat next to Yuta. Taking a deep breath you went in and sat next to him. 
As expected he didn't talk to you for most of the period which made you worry. Usually, he’d annoy you to death berating you with questions, trying to get on your good side in hopes of having a chance with you. Your thoughts were interrupted when your classmate behind you asked a question
“Heya Y/N! Got a question” the girl asked as you turned around
Sure ask away you responded
“Is it true you’re dating Tsukishima? I was so sure you hated him” she chuckled as you felt the anger seething out of Yuta
“Yeah doesn’t he treat you like garbage?” Yuta interjected coldly 
“Well he may be an annoying asshole but I kinda like that about him” you explain as the tint on your cheeks grows red “I guess he’s not good with showing how he really feels but… I know for sure he cares” you continue “Ohhh! I get it! You’re that kinda gal!” she lightly punched your arm as you giggled
“Yeah I guess so…” you murmured as you felt Yuta’s boiling anger but you chose to ignore it
The whole Math class felt like a breath of fresh air. You didn’t care if you just felt anger from your seatmate. You were finally free now from his stupid questions. After your class finishes you happily walked to lunch and sat next to your usual lunch buddies
“Someone’s in a really good mood” Yamaguchi smiled 
“Yuta left me alone the whole class!” You exclaimed in triumph as everyone sighs in relief
“See! Our plan was foolproof!” Tanaka and Noya said proudly in unison
“Yeah, if it hadn't I would’ve beaten you both to a pulp” Tsukishima scowled
“Alright Mr. Salty Pants you need to calm down” you patted his shoulder as he rolled his eyes
“Don’t call me that pipsqueak” Tsukishima brushed your hand off
“Giving each other nicknames? Are you sure you guys are still fake?” Hinata whispered mischievously as you both blush
“I’ll just return to my food” you brushed Hinata off and started eating as Tsukishima quietly did the same
“At least they aren’t arguing anymore” Daichi sighed in relief
As soon as school finishes you wait at the gate for Tsukishima to be done practicing. You take a long sigh of relief. Besides dealing with the media and school your “stalker” would finally leave you alone. Or so you thought.
"Y/N!" you hear a voice call out as you turned to face them only to be surprised by an angry Yuta walking towards you
"Yuta? I thought you’d be home" by now you spoke innocently as his anger grows
"Cut the innocent bullshit! I know you both aren’t a thing" Yuta yelled coldly as he grabbed you
"Huh? What’re you talking about?" you chuckled nervously trying to push him away
"It was all to make me leave you alone right? C’mon, you really think I was that stupid?" He snickered loudly as you begin to tear up in fear
“Aww don’t cry you’ve got your “boyfriend” to save you- Oh wait he’s not really your boyfriend” he continued to laugh though he soon stopped as you heard the sound of a blow to his face
“Don’t touch someone who’s off limits” Tsukishima scowled angrily as you rushed to hug him tightly
“Don’t make me laugh I know it isn’t real” Yuta said as he got up
“You’re just whiny because unlike you I got their attention” Tsukishima smirked smugly as he received a blow from Yuta
“Tsuki!” You rushed towards his aid as he brushes you off
“Don’t worry I’ve been wanting to kick his ass for a while” Tsukishima said as he got ready to punch him again
“Stop! You’re only gonna get hurt!” You cried out as Yuta slowly approaches the both of you only for a familiar tangerine to drop kick Yuta onto the ground
“I’ve waited forever to do that!” Hinata smiled victoriously as Yuta gets up and runs away
“YEAH RUN YOU COWARD” Hinata yelled 
“Where did you learn to do that?” You asked as he chuckled
“I’ve been practicing with Noya!” Hinata smiled as you ruffle his hair
“You should take Tsukishima to the nursing office. I'll head back and tell the others!” Hinata quickly said as he ran off
“You haven’t finished practice?” you look towards Tsukishima
“Yeah I needed to get something then I found you with him” Tsukishima explained
“Let’s just get you the nurse’s office” you said worriedly as you helped walk him to the nurse’s office
Luckily for the both of you the nurse’s office was empty which saved you both an explanation and or potential punishment. You ushered him to sit down as you grabbed the necessary items to treat his lip. 
“I’m sorry” you mumbled quietly as soon as you finished treating his lip
“What for?” Tsukishima asked holding the ice pack on his lip
“For all of this the fake dating and dragging you into this” you look down as the guilt builds up
“You really don’t have to apologize for that after all I agreed to do this” Tsukishima placed his hand on yours to comfort you
“But you ended up getting hurt because of me” you began to tear up
“It doesn’t matter if I get hurt” he wiped the tears from your cheeks “I would protect you no matter what, whether we're together for real or fake because… I care about you…” he confided pulling you into a tight embrace
“Thank you” hugged him back tightly “y'know… we don't have to keep calling it fake” you smiled 
“What do you-” he gave you a puzzled look as you interrupted hin
“We could do it for real if you want” you blushed shyly
“Yeah… I wouldn't mind that” he smiled
Tumblr media
Kuroo
You were in the middle of doing your homework when Bokuto dragged you to come with him to his li’l hangout session in the park with Kuroo.
“Why did I have to come again?” you asked slightly annoyed
“Because Akaashi didn’t want to come” Bokuto frowned, “He said he was busy or something” Bokuto childishly crossed his arms
“Well couldn’t you go there alone? I was in the middle of doing my homework” you pouted
“C’mon! Don’t you wanna spend time with your favorite big brother and his friend!” He tried convincing you with his sad frown
“You’re my only big brother” you narrowed your eyes as his face brightens up
“So you agree?” he smiled triumphantly as you sighed in amusement. You did need a little break anyways
“Well then you’re gonna have to convince Akaashi to help me with my homework as a thank you” you tried to compromise as he nodded his head excitedly
“YEAH! WE GET TO HANG OUT AGAIN!” Bokuto hugged you tightly making you smile at his adorableness
“Alright you goof we don’t wanna keep Kuroo waiting” you patted his back making him release the hug as you both turned to leave
“THERE’S AN ICE CREAM TRUCK OVER THERE!” Bokuto yelled excitedly pointing at the ice cream truck at the front of the park
“LET’S GO!” He dragged you with him running a thousand miles per hour
You both ran to the ice cream shop, terrifying the people on the way and the worker from how fast Bokuto ran. You both bought ice cream for yourselves and Kuroo (which you paid for).
“You owe me two favors now” you warned as Bokuto continued eating his ice cream
“Thank you!” He smiled adorably making you sigh
“Don’t think your adorableness is getting you out of what you owe me” you glared
“Where’s Kuroobro” Bokuto looked around for his black-haired friend but to no avail
“Did he say he was already here?” you asked as Bokuto nodded
“If he doesn’t show up do I owe you an extra favor” Bokuto spoke timidly as you nodded making him gulp
Ironically right after he said that Kuroo appeared out of nowhere looking like he just killed someone
“KUROOBRO!” Bokuto yelled putting his hands on the air in excitement as Kuroo shushes him
“Not the time right now!” Kuroo whispered loudly as you and Bokuto look at each other tilt your head in confusion
“What’s wrong?” Bokuto whispered quietly as Kuroo dragged you both somewhere private near the tree area
“Will you just tell us what’s happening you whispered angrily” as he sighed
“While I was walking around waiting for you guys I met my ex near a bench” Kuroo explained 
“Yeah and?” Bokuto asked naively as you elbowed his arm making him mutter an “ow!”
“Don’t you remember what happened Bo? You were the one who told me all this” you narrowed one eye as he looked at you dazed
“I kinda forgot about her” Bokuto shrugged as you and Kuroo both sigh
“Well my forgetful owl friend she’s still not over me and thinks we still have a chance even if i clearly showed that there is no chance whatsoever” Kuroo frowned 
“Has she been following you since?” You asked as he nodded frustratedly sighing in the process “Yeesh” you patted his back
“Well if you don’t wanna see her we can just stay here I mean we’re all here anyways Bokuto sat down in the grass Ice cream?” Bokuto offered the ice cream you bought for Kuroo as he sat down “Let’s figure something out tomorrow” you offered as he smiled “You both owe me one afterall” you smirked eating your ice cream as Kuroo looks at you with confusion
“What?” Kuroo looked at Bokuto as he gave him an awkward smile
The next day Kuroo couldn’t practice properly thinking about what happened yesterday. It wasn’t long till his team noticed his change in behavior.
“Hey Kuroo, is there something wrong you're acting very off today” Inuoka asked 
“Huh? Nothing’s wrong” Kuroo brushed off as he went to grab the ball
“Something is clearly wrong you aren’t playing properly” Yaku reprimanded as Kuroo rolled his eyes
“Nothing to be concerned about! Let’s get going!” Kuroo insisted
“For the last hour you haven’t practiced properly” Yaku glared “So tell us what’s wrong. Now” Yaku crossed his arms as Kuroo sighed deeply in response going over to the benches before he sat down
“When I went outside to hangout with Bokuto and Y/N, I met my ex” Kuroo explained quietly shocking everyone “Long story short, she’s not over me” Kuroo frowned
“Knowing her I wouldn’t be surprised if she enrolled here just to see you” Kenma spoke nonchalantly making Kuroo sweat
“That would be awkward especially if you have to share a class” Yamamoto added as Yaku elbowed him
“Let’s hope either of that doesn’t happen” Yaku sighed 
“She’d be near impossible to get away from then” Inuoka said worriedly 
“I would die if I saw her attending my games” Kuroo spoke deflated putting his hands on his head
“Let’s try to devise a plan after school we’ll have more time” Yaku suggested as he stood up “For now, you don’t have to force yourself to play in that kind of state” Yaku said empathetically
The whole practice Kuroo was moping around much to the dismay of his teammates. He thought the day wouldn’t get any worse until it was time for him to go home.
“Looks like I got through that pretty fine” Kuroo exclaimed proudly
“If acting mopey the whole practice was fine I don’t even want to know what would happen if you actually meet her” Yaku sighed
“Let’s hope that doesn’t happen” Inuoka said worriedly
“Don’t worry I just have to make it to my house! She’s not gonna appear anytime soon” Kuroo walked towards the gate but was stopped by Kenma pulling him
“Huh? What was that for–” Kuroo gave Kenma a confused look but his face immediately froze when Kenma pointed in front of him
“I think you jinxed yourself” Lev gulped sheepishly
“Did she actually enroll here?” Yamamoto gasped quietly as Kuroo’s ex walks over to them
“CRAP SHE’S COMING” they all panic internally 
“Hey…” his ex said meekly making everyone sweat nervously
“What… what are you doing here” Kuroo slightly grimaced
“Oh i just… wanted to see how you were doing” she mumbled smiling awkwardly which slightly angered the team’s captain
“Didn’t I make it clear at the park already” Kuroo slightly snapped though remained composed as everyone looked at him
“Yeah! But…” she gets cut off by Kuroo’s sigh
“It’s over alright? Just leave me alone” Kuroo growing angry he quickly walked out of the gate while everyone followed him
During the walk home it was pure dead silence accompanied by the angry aura that radiated Kuroo. No one dared to ask if he was okay in fear of further pissing off the captain. The next day Kuroo along with Kenma went to the lockers before heading to class.
“Hey Kuroo sorry for not being to help you during that whole ordeal yesterday” Kenma apologized as he opened his locker
“Eh don’t worry about it” Kuroo shook his hand vertically “It’s not your fault she’s can’t take no for an answer” Kuroo sighed in annoyance as he opened his locker
The two boys then saw a letter inside the locker making them both groan
“You thinkin what I’m thinkin?” Kuroo gave a look of irritation getting a nod from Kenma as a response as he opened it
The letter contained a cringeworthy, half-assed apology going on and on and had endless paragraphs that the two boys didn’t even bother to read
“I’m not reading this shit” Kuroo crumpled the paper and threw it at a nearby trash can
“Looks like she really won’t leave you alone” Kenma stated nonchalantly making Kuroo sigh
“Yeah I need to break it to her delusional self fast” Kuroo huffed throwing his hands on his head in frustration
“Yeah you better get on that quickly” Kenma shook Kuroo’s shoulder and pointed into his classroom “Looks like she’s your new classmate” Kuroo’s eyes widened 
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” Kuroo whined loudly
“Well good luck” Kenma waved goodbye as Kuroo nervously went inside the classroom
During the whole class Kuroo’s ex tried everything to try and talk to him. Even with Kuroo’s clear signs of rejecting her advances she still persisted. The whole ordeal lasted the whole class until he was finally able to get out to which he proceeded to go quickly to the gym.
“GUYS I NEED IDEAS NOW!” Kuroo yelled as he slammed the door open
“Yeah we heard from Kenma that you now share a class with her” Yaku sighed worriedly
“YEAH ON MY FAVORITE CLASS? THE ONLY ONE I’D ATTEND INSTEAD OF PRACTICING!” Kuroo moped and messed his hair in frustration
“Well you’re in luck!” A familiar booming voice was heard outside of the gym
“BOKUTO IS HERE TO SAVE HIS BRO!” Bokuto yelled excitedly as his other team went into the gym
“THANK YOU BRO” Kuroo went to the fellow ace and hugged him as his whole team sighed
“We’ll do that after our practice match” Akaashi reminded slightly deflating the both of them
After the two teams' practice match they decided to devise a plan once they headed to the bench. Kuroo took the time explaining what happened during his class.
“That girl is borderline obsessed with you” you gave a very creeped out face 
“I know right! No matter how many times you say no or make it clear to her stupid brain she doesn't get it!” Kuroo's words seethed anger
“You could expel her from the school!” Bokuto suggested proudly
“That'd only solve his problem in school but not everywhere else” Akaashi stated making Bokuto sigh in defeat
“Why don’t you get a s/o? She’ll probably leave you alone if she sees you with someone else” Kenma nonchalantly suggested as he played on his console
“That’s a great idea!” Kuroo smiled victoriously
“You still need to find someone who’s nice enough to help your sorry self” Yaku sassed as Kuroo responded with a harsh glare
“Y/N can do it!” Bokuto pointed as Kuroo blushed
“Huh? Why me?” you made a grossed out face
“Cuz he’s my best friend! And he needs saving!” Bokuto reasoned 
“That doesn’t answer my question” you crossed your arms
“Well… you're my sibling and you should help your big brother!” Bokuto responded as you narrowed your eyes
“I don’t think I have the time to have a relationship right now” you said making your brother frown
“It probably doesn’t have to be real” Kai put his hand on his chin “if you just make it believable enough to fool her that could work” your brother nodded to his statement 
“Please” he looked at you cutely “Can you did it for your big brother and his helpless best friend” he continued as Kuroo scowled
“I can’t say no to that face” you sigh in defeat as Bokuto jumps up
“Another victory for Bokuto Kotaro!” Bokuto jumped around excitedly
“Y/N would work after all Kuroo does–” Kenma said before his mouth was covered by Kuroo
“Because you're also my friend, yeah!” Kuroo awkwardly smiled as you looked at him weirdly
“Let's start tomorrow then so we can get this done” you spoke to which Kuroo nodded
“Looks like your dream come true with my sibling is coming true” Bokuto whispered teasingly smiling as Kuroo shushed him 
The next day after you finished school you headed to Kuroo’s school and waited outside the gate together with your brother.
“Bo you didn't have to come all the way here I can take care of myself” you said while you watched the students pass by
“Yeah but who would third wheel your date” Bokuto smiled mischievously It will make it more authentic he added
“You’re a really great friend to Kuroo” you smile which Bokuto returned with a big toothy one
“Heya guys!” Kuroo yelled from a distance as he ran over to the both of you “Shall we make Operation Get Rid Of My Ex a go?” Kuroo smirked as Bokuto nodded excitedly
‘This is gonna be so chaotic’ you thought
“Let’s go!” Bokuto grabbed all of you and you three were off
You went to a cozy cafe in Tokyo with a few people coming in and out
“Y’know for someone so obsessed with you it’s weird how she isn’t here yet” you spoke as you drank your coffee 
“What if she doesn’t come! That would make everything a waste!” Bokuto pouted “Well except the food” he said in annoyance as he ate his croissant 
“There’s no way she wouldn't know I was talking about it pretty loudly during lunch” Kuroo explained whilst he ate
“Well she’s here now” you pointed at the open door where Kuroo’s ex sneakily walked in with other customers
“Get into position!” Kuroo whispered as you all did as planned
“Is she watching?” Bokuto nudged Kuroo
“Yeah!” Kuroo replied
You and Kuroo did whatever couples did during dates whilst Bokuto made your stereotypical third wheel make an awkward date. Luckily you were able to play it naturally as you were already pretty close with Kuroo. You couldn’t deny that you found it cute how hard Kuroo was trying. He was very easy going and made sure to ask for your consent before doing something.
“I need to go to the toilet, I’ll be back” you stood up and left leaving the two boys
“I think you’re taking this way too seriously” Kuroo chuckled
“Not as seriously as you seriously enjoying this” Bokuto retorted making Kuroo blushed
“Listen when you decided to set us up you knew what you were doing” Kuroo fought back
“Well yeah! It’s a bros job to get him with the girl of his dreams” Bokuto laughed smugly
“Now you just sound dramatic” Kuroo rolled his eyes
“Maybe but you can’t deny you're enjoying this” Bokuto smirked
“Alright you got me there” Kuroo raised his hands as you came back
“Is the plan working?” you asked quietly 
“Judging from how creepily she’s been keeping a close eye on us, yeah!” Kuroo smiled victoriously
“We just gonna continue from here then” you said
Kuroo’s ex followed you all everywhere keeping a close tab on you and Kuroo especially which made you very uncomfortable. The three of you both finished every activity you had planned for the day so you all opted to go home. 
“Is she still following us?” Bokuto asked quietly
“Yeah I can feel her eyes on my back” Kuroo replied
“Still? She's so creepy man” Bokuto's face turned to disgust
“I feel bad that you had to go through this for the past few days” you patted Kuroo's back as he sighed
“Yeah it's like I get no privacy anywhere besides my house, everywhere I go she's there too”” Kuroo crossed his arms and pouted “Well I guess it’s more enjoyable cuz your here” Kuroo looked at you and smiled making your heart thump
“T-thanks” you said still dazed from what he said
“Hey! What about me!” Bokuto pouted which Kuroo laughed in response
“Of course you too bro!” Kuroo chuckled turning Bokuto’s frown upside down
“We’ll see tomorrow what she thinks” you said as you all reached Kuroo’s house
“Thanks again today was fun” you smiled making Kuroo slightly blush
“Yeah! My pleasure” Kuroo smiled back
The next day Kuroo went through the whole day without his ex bothering him which made him suspicious. But when he did see her in chemistry class she seemed quiet and was distancing herself from him which Kuroo couldn’t help but feel the intense wave of victory. You saw the joyous captain when he walked to you and Bokuto at the gate.
“Someone looks very happy today” you smiled as Kuroo greeted both of you
“She kept her distance the whole day! I say progress!” Kuroo almost squealed in excitement
“All in a day's work of The Best Ace Bokuto!” Bokuto smiled proudly
“Yeah that’s great!” you flashed a thumbs up
“We just need to seal the deal” Kuroo put his finger on his chin before his face lit up “Prom’s this weekend which I think is the perfect opportunity to do it” Kuroo explained “Can I go too! I wanna eat all the food!” Bokuto jumped in excitement which made you chuckle
“Yeah we can all go!” Kuroo  gave a toothy smile
A few days before prom you were in the mall with Akaashi and Bokuto deciding which of the dresses you should buy
“Should I go for this one or this one?” you said holding two dresses
“We’ve been here for like… HOURS!” Bokuto complained as he fell back on the chair
“And? It’s a formal event that needs the proper attire! I need to look my best!” You defended hearing another complain from Bokuto
“Why do you care so much you didn’t care that much last prom!” Bokuto crossed his arms
“Is it because of Kuroo?” Akaashi asked innocently yet you felt there was more intention in his tone
“W’what? N-no?” You blushed hardly surprised from Akaashi’s question
“Looks like I hit a bullseye” Akaashi nonchalantly said
“You like Kuroo?” Bokuto stood up and looked at you
“No! I don’t! It’s just I wanna look my best to make it look real y'know!” You kept trying to defend yourself though Akaashi could see right through you
“You wanna look your best for Kuroo you mean” Akaashi teased to which you glare
“I never thought you’d like my bro!” Bokuto smiled excitedly
“Well, until now” Akaashi smirked which made you blush even more
“Just pick one I’m done with this conversion!” You pointed daggers at the two boys which made Bokuto snicker
It was the day of the prom and Kuroo was very nervous. Though it was only to get rid of his ex he felt that he’d actually taken you to prom and though he didn’t want to admit it but he really wanted to see what you’d look like in your prom dress.
“You look a little too excited” Yaku teased 
“Well yeah! I’m actually going to prom with them!” Kuroo blushed “It still makes me sad though that all this is fake” Kuroo frowned his face darkened
“Well I guess you have to make the most of it right?” Kenma interjected hoping to cheer his best friend up
“You’re right” Kuroo smiled 
“She’s here now!” Lev exclaimed making Kuroo shift back to nervousness
The door opened with Bokuto in a neat tux with a surprisingly formal hairstyle different from his spiked up hair but beside him was you in an elegant outfit also with a formal hairstyle
“Amazed? You should be! I picked it for them just for my best bro!” Bokuto bragged proudly
“You only picked it so we’d get out of the store” you chuckled as Bokuto shot a quick shush
“That doesn’t change the fact that you look pretty elegant” Kuroo scratched the back of his neck in shyness the team were smiling right next to him
“Well let's leave you both to it” Yaku grabbed the others giving the two alone space
“Well? Let’s get started” you smiled excitedly as you dragged Kuroo to the dance floor 
You both couldn’t deny the fun you both had dancing and partying. You had to admit that this was the most fun you had with Kuroo. You felt saddened that after all this your “relationship” was going to end. Though you made sure you made the most out of the time you had left.
“I’m going to the restroom can you get me some more punch when I get back” you asked as Kuroo nodded
“Anything for you m’lady” Kuroo teased as you lightly slapped his shoulder
“Alright you big goof I’ll be off” you chuckled as you went to the bathroom
As Kuroo went to the area with he punch he noticed his ex walking towards him as he got some punch for the both of you making him sigh in annoyance
“What do you want” Kuroo said coldly “Don’t think I didn’t see you follow me a few days ago with my date” he glared putting emphasis on date
“I know but I just want you to give me one chance… just one” she pleaded
“Isn’t what you’ve seen already enough for you to leave me alone” Kuroo snapped
“You don’t have to pretend to be with someone just because you don’t wanna give me a chance” she said making Kuroo laugh
“I think you need to get your brain checked sweetheart you’re acting very cuckoo” Kuroo sneered
“We both know that date was one sided” she scowled taking him back “It’s sad that they pitied you that much that they’d agree to go to prom with you” she continued as Kuroo growed in anger 
“And what? My feelings for them are real! So shove that chance you think you have in your ass!” Kuroo snapped slamming the table next to him “After all it's only good for pleasing other guys isn’t it” Kuroo glared intensely shocking his ex 
“You–” She tried to speak out though she was interrupted by Kuroo
“Whether it’s real or not, they care more about me more than you ever have!” Kuroo scowled the argument grew more heated
“You know you don’t and won’t ever have a chance” she gritted her teeth
“Even so I’d rather chase someone who cares about me even only platonically then a cheating whore” Kuroo clenched his fist“Even if we’ll be stuck as friends forever I’ll live with that I’ll even push those feelings back” Kuroo tried holding his tears back as some began to fall
“Fine let it be that way” she said “Just know you’re pathetic especially for your feelings for them” she walked away leaving Kuroo alone
Unbeknownst to Kuroo you heard everything he said about you. You felt your heart rapidly thumping from everything he professed about you even more so at the thought that he felt those feelings for you and was willing to push them back for you just so you’d both stay as friends. As you were dazed however you noticed Kuroo looking at you.
“I… How long were you watching?” Kuroo sniffed 
“Enough to hear the whole thing” you replied back quietly
“I see…” he looked down trying to wipe the tears
You felt the tension between the both of you grow bigger and bigger you had to say something
“Did you mean all the things you said to her?” You asked 
“Yeah every single one” Kuroo nodded
“Even the part where you’d accept us just being friends” you played with your fingers
“Listen Y/N nothing’s gonna change I promise we can still be best friends and–” Kuroo stopped as he felt your soft lips press against his
“You don’t need to accept us just being friends, I want it to be more” you smiled brightly as he blushed
“Yeah I’d love that!” He spoke as he pulled you for another kiss though you both stopped as soon as you heard a loud YEAH!
“MY PLAN WORKED!” Bokuto let out a very mischievous laughter followed by Yaku punching his elbow
“You ruined their moment!” Yaku scolded
“Sorry I can’t help it!” Bokuto rubbed his elbow 
“Well I’ll have to thank my best bro!” Kuroo cheered “I’M THE BEST BROTHER AND BRO IN THE WORLD” Bokuto yelled in joy with the biggest toothy smile
“Yeah you really are” you smiled brightly

“haji?” his name escaped your lips in a whisper.
the lamps from the street lit up the night sky, the stars from above doing it’s best to keep the night awake. still, darkness surrounded the area, only dark figures could be depicted from their eyes.
you could only guess it was close to midnight from the way the moon shone and the cold slap of wind that gushed your way. however, the quick warmth of your face and the rapid throb inside of your chest disregarded the chills.
iwaizumi analyzed you, his eyes wandering your body as if you were a stranger.
“haji, what are you doing here?”
his lips parted, he wanted to answer you, but he wasn’t even sure why he ran to your house at midnight. he just needed to see you.
“my flight is tomorrow.” he announced like you hadn’t known. all of the third years celebrated one final time before his departure, resulting in endless laughter and tears. as much as he didn’t want to admit it, he didn’t want to leave japan behind, because you were still here.
“i know. that’s why you should be getting some sleep, you have a long day tomorrow.” you forced yourself to swallow; to eat away the gnawing feelings that were in the back of your throat aching to come out. you didn’t want to put that burden on him, especially at a bad time like this.
iwaizumi dryly chuckled. of course you were trying to care for him, but he could see the wistful look you gave him. he could tell you were tired due to the bags under your eyes, but your eyes were wide with adoration and hope.
he took a step forward, “you’re too kind, you know that?” his words soft. “can i sleep here tonight? i can’t wake up to an empty room, i just can’t.” he rambled.
without hesitation, you widened the door for him to come inside. you knew it probably wasn’t a good idea for him to stay, but, who were you to tell hajime iwaizumi no?
quickly, iwaizumi welcomed the warmth of your home to his body. his eyes traveled the rooms nearby, he took a mental screenshot, because who knew when was the next time he’d be here or if you even still lived here when he’d come back. he wanted to remember as much of you as he could, but he knew the figments of his memory just wasn’t enough.
he followed you to your bedroom, the two of you sitting next to each other on your queen-sized bed. he always loved the size of your bed, it seemed to fit him more than his own bed at home.
“i’m sorry for knocking at your door so late.” he apologized, his eyes finally settling in to the dimly lit room. he could now make out your features that he was so infatuated with.
“don’t worry about it. i’ll always answer the door for you, haji.” and god, he loved the way his name fell from your lips. like you were destined to say only his name only.
iwaizumi sighed, “america is going to suck without you or oikawa there. it’s like i have to start all over again, just without the company of you two.” he confessed.
your hand found his, gently grabbing it and rubbing circles against his rough skin. you could feel the callouses that were starting to form on his palm, most likely from lifting weights.
he allowed you to fiddle with his hands, he found solace in your touch. his eyes closing for the first time tonight.
“you’ll do great in america. you’ll find new friends and new company to keep you busy. who knows, you might even find someone you’re interested in.”
immediately, his eyes flew open, his head turning to face you. haven’t you realized that it was you he was interested in. it was you that won his heart years ago.
“wha—“ you said from his sudden turn, wondering if you said something wrong, but he interrupted you before you could finish.
“i don’t want to do that. i don’t want to find someone i’m ‘interested’ in. it’d be useless anyway.” he murmured the last part.
now your ears piqued at his comment.
“what do you mean it’d be useless?”
he paused. “i’d be searching for you in every girl i’d meet.” iwaizumi declared. “that’s why i’m here, y/n. it crushes my soul that i’m leaving you behind. i want you by my side, i feel empty whenever you’re not.”
you could’ve sworn that you heard a sniffle emit from the male beside you, but you knew not to comment on it, or he’d probably end the conversation right there.
you cupped his cheek with your hand, a half smile forming on your face. only you were able to see this side from him; the affectionate, tender side that no one else have been able to witnessed.
“it breaks my heart you’re leaving me too. but i know you’re destined for great things. but i know you’ll be able to visit and i’ll always be a call away. it hurts me knowing my two soulmates are moving thousands of miles away. but i can’t be selfish, haji. it’s not about me.” you protected your feelings, because you knew if it turned into more, the morning would be too much of a heartbreak.
iwaizumi shook his head. “but i want you to be,” he pleaded. “i don’t want to get on that plane tomorrow morning with regret because i didn’t have enough courage.”
“courage for what?” it was a stupid question. you knew what he meant, but you were so nervous.
“to tell you i love you.” his eyes searched you for any discomfort, the words almost causing him to have a heart attack. iwaizumi knew he was bad with feelings, especially with how he dawned this proposal onto you a night before he leaves for another country.
but if he didn’t tell you now, he wasn’t sure if he would even board the plane tomorrow morning.
disregarding your feelings before, you leaned into his touch, your nose touching his. you could feel his breath hitch, the warmth of him radiating onto you. your free hand cupped the other side of his cheek as you pressed your lips onto his. years of emotions spilled from the delicate kiss you shared, like a river overflowing its bank.
and you two laid there, peppering slow kisses on each other’s faces, wiping the tears that slipped from both of your eyes.
iwaizumi knew more than before that he was so terribly smitten with you, but he wished that his final hours with you weren’t ticking away with a plane ticket to america with his name on it.
ahhh there’s nothing like a man who’s bad at expressing feelings till the last minute🤌🏽

Tumblr media
IWAIZUMI ⤵
honestly blame oikawa sfdgfhjk
he really didn't mean any harm by it, he was just being annoying as usual, but in a lighthearted way you know
he made a comment to an already stressed iwa and that's just a recipe for disaster
"you know iwa-chan," oikawa choosed to ignore the glare his friend sent his way, continuing to pester him with a sing-songy voice. "i think it's unfair how you don't let me wear your sweatshirts, but let y/n do." he tilted his head, "although, i'm sure they probably look way better in it than you do."
iwaizumi was about to smack his friend on the back of his head when he paused, hand in the air, confusing him.
he cringed, dramatically waiting for the impact. "if you're gonna hit me just do it already...i'm not a fan of the suspense, iwa."
iwaizumi frowned deeply, dropping his hand, weirdly scaring the other boy even more. "what are you talking about? i didn't give..."
instead of giving oikawa a chance to even react, he stormed off to find you, an uneasy, dark feeling growing in the pit of his stomach when he found you talking to some guy outside your class. luckily, you both had class in the same building today so it was easy to find you.
he stood there for a moment, just watching you, taking you in. you looked cute, but that pissed him off even more, and lit a fire on the spark of insecurity in the pit of his stomach.
were you cold? was that it? if so, then why didn't you ask him for his sweater? did you think he would say no? was he a bad boyfriend?
he was so caught up that he didn't even realize you were walking up to him, a sweet smile on your face. you grabbed his hand gently, your smile turning a bit more curious when you realized he hadn't noticed you approach him.
"hey haji." you squeezed his hand, "you okay?"
he blinked, his tense body immediately loosening up at your presence, but when he looked down at your clothing again, he frowned.
your brows furrowed. "what's wrong?"
he kept his eyes on your sweater. "you and that guy are pretty close huh?"
you looked even more confused for a moment before it clicked. "oh you mean that guy from my class? i mean..." you paused, thinking back to your interactions, trying to determine if you would consider you guys as close, but your boyfriend only took your silence as confirmation for his insecurity induced delusions. "no, not really."
his lips stretched into a smile that looked more like a grimace before dropping less than a second later. "then when'd he give you this?"
you tilted your head, "give me what?"
he pressed his tongue to the side of his cheek, his tell that he was pissed off, which only confused you further. he looked into your eyes, glanced back to your sweater and back to your eyes again.
you looked down as well, the confusion clear on your face as you looked back up at him, a feeling of unease sprouting inside you. "he didn't give me this?" your response came out more like a question and iwaizumi raised a brow and crossed his arms.
"well i didn't."
you looked at him plainly, "you know i have money of my own, right? i bought this myself." you crossed your arms as well, feeling defensive. "why on earth would he have gotten this for me?"
his mouth suddenly felt dry, and guilt washed over him. "i..." he sighed, letting his eyes close. you then realized how stressed and worked up he seemed. "i'm sorry. i was being a dumbass."
you stepped forward, a knowing, worrying look in your eyes as you placed a gentle hand on his arm. "haji you can't keep stressing yourself out like this with no breaks, you know the irrational part of your brain feeds you crazy information when you're like this."
his shoulders sagged embarrassingly as he grunted out a response. "i know."
you narrowed your eyes, "you're lucky i'm more understanding than most. if not i wouldn't have forgiven what you just accused me of."
he looked at you with guilty eyes, pulling you in for a hug by your waist and burying his face in the crook of your neck. "i'm sorry, baby." he mumbled against your sweater, gripping you tight.
you rolled your eyes fondly, patting his back. "yeah yeah. let's go. you need a nap."
Tumblr media
OSAMU ⤵
honestly your relationship was fairly new
and he'd rather die than let him know, but atsumu's teasing jokes about his twin needing to hold you tight so you don't go find someone else better did get to him
and he was tired, he'd had a long day at the restaurant
you were meeting up with him for a late dinner after he closed up the restaurant for the night. nothing special, just a quiet evening for the two of you. you got there a little earlier just cause you were excited to see him, honestly. when you reached the door, you nearly bumped into a man walking in at the same time, the both of you too distracted to notice one another.
you both laughed it off and he opened the door for you, letting you walk in first. you just assumed he was being kind, but nothing more.
unfortunately, from osamu's perspective, the two of you looked very familiar with each other. a million thoughts started running through his head unwillingly, his gaze frozen on you smiling up at this man he'd never seen before. his heart dropped when he noticed the sweater you were wearing. it looked like it could fit the man next to you.
had you really already met someone better? but why would you bring him here? to end things?
you and the man continued to have your conversation as you approached the counter, and a very annoyed (and slightlyvery hurt) osamu.
having had enough, he cleared his throat and spoke up in a very monotone voice. "can i help you?"
you both perked up and looked towards the sound, and you smiled recognizing the man you came here to see. the man next to you spoke up, "oh i'm just here to pickup an order."
your boyfriend put both hands on the counter, spread out on either side in front of him, slightly flexing his muscles as he stared the man down. "what are you, the delivery guy?"
the man laughed, "no, man, just picking up a meal to bring home." he pointed towards the bag of takeout on the counter, "i think that might be mine actually––unless it's for you?" he turned to you questioningly, but before you could respond, osamu did it for you.
"we're eating together, actually. as soon as you leave." he raised a brow, daring the man to say something else, but he got the hint, giving an awkward smile to your boyfriend and thanking him for the food before greeting you goodbye and exiting the restaurant.
as soon as the door closed, you furrowed your brows towards osamu, slightly amused. "what's with the attitude?"
he crossed his arms, "he was being too friendly." you rolled your eyes and he tilted his head, looking you up and down. "what's with the sweater?" before he could say the next words that came to mind 'you replace me already?', you spoke up, looking down at your clothing.
"got it for three dollars at the thrift store." you looked up with a smile and his face dropped in realization, only for a complete different reason than you thought. "what's the matter?" your smile turned more mischievous. "don't like the thought of me wearing another man's clothes?" you batted your eyelashes playfully and he scoffed, shaking his head, before letting it hang.
"you have no idea..."
concerned, you made your way around the counter, placing a questioning hand on his back, gasping when he turned around and pulled you into his arms without a word.
"what's the matter, samu?" your voice was soft, careful as you hugged him back.
he simply held you tighter, burying his face in the crook of your neck. "nothin." he mumbled. "m'just never letting you go."

SUNA ⤵
suna's was a little more understanding? i suppose
he was taking a nap when you got to his place
you were at that point in your relationship where you would come over all the time, you even had your own key
and you knew that he was probably taking his after work nap so you decided to come over and order food when he wakes up
but unfortunately during his nap he had a dream (more like nightmare) that you were cheating on him
he woke up, dazed, unsure of his surroundings and overwhelmed by what he just witnessed. he honestly couldn't tell if it was a dream or not because everything looked so real, his house was exactly the same as well. was it a memory? he was so confused.
he'd heard you on the phone talking with your friend about your problem. how you were cheating on him and you didn't want to hurt him, all the while you were wearing this other man's sweatshirt.
his heart rate picked up when he heard you in the living room, talking to someone. he slowly and as quietly as possible, made his way out of his room, practically tip toeing down the hallway to peek around the corner. you were talking on the phone...exactly as you were in the dream. maybe it was a premonition? then his eyes fell to your sweater...it looked exactly like the one he saw.
he went back to his room and got back into bed. maybe if he slept this off, everything would be back to normal. maybe this was the bad dream.
he was tossing and turning but he couldn't seem to fall asleep. so many thoughts were plaguing his mind.
a few minutes later, you made your way into the room. as he heard you coming, he contemplated pretending to be asleep, but he decided against it. he had to face this, right?
you smiled at him sweetly, being quiet so as not to disturb him. you know how cranky he gets when his naps are interrupted or if he's woken up before he needs to be. but when you noticed he was awake, you plopped down right beside him.
"hi baby." you leaned down to kiss his forehead and pulled back to look at him curiously when you felt him tense under your touch. "are you okay?"
he stared at you for a moment. "who were you on the phone with?"
"oh you heard that?" he narrowed his eyes. that was a suspicious answer.
"i'm sorry, i thought i was being quiet, i didn't mean to wake you." okay, maybe not. "i was talking to atsumu. he said he's been trying to plan a reunion dinner and you keep ignoring him." you looked at him pointedly and he rolled his eyes.
okay so you weren't talking to your friend. and you definitely aren't cheating on him with atsumu of all people. but there's still the sweater...
he had to be strategic about this.
"are you cheating on me?"
or not.
he blinked at you, shocked by his own words. you blinked back.
"...are you still asleep?"
he blinked again. "no?"
"are you sure?..."
he narrowed his eyes again. "answer the question."
"babe, i think you need to go back to sleep."
"that's not an answer..." he muttered.
you placed a hand on his cheek and sighed. "no i'm not cheating on you." you tilted your head as you looked down at him. "i'm gonna blame the fact that you're disoriented from your nap for this ridiculous question."
he looked away, suddenly embarrassed at the realization at how dumb he sounded. his voice was small. "then who's sweater is that?"
you rolled your eyes. "mine, dummy. it's just oversized."
his cheek heated up under your touch and you stifled a laugh. "i should take a picture to remember this."
he glared at you halfheartedly. "fuck off."
you laughed for real this time. "oh come on, you're the one accusing me of cheating cause of my sweater-"
he cut you off, pulling you into his arms. "yeah yeah, take a nap with me then. this way i'll know you're not running off with some other guy while i'm asleep." he teased, a hint of a smile in his voice.
you smacked his chest playfully, shaking your head in disbelief. "you know maybe i should ban you from taking naps if this is the outcome. insane accusations."
"i'd like to see you try." he squeezed you tight and pressed his temple against your forehead. "i'm sorry. wasn't thinking straight." he kissed your forehead. "my dream just messed me up. couldn't tell what was real."
you glanced up at him, hearing the sincerity in his tone. if you were in his position, you would feel conflicted too. "it's okay rin. just know that that could never be our reality, okay? i love you." you kissed his cheek and he smiled.
"love you too."
