a/n: i might make a "dating sugawara koshi" for this! i'll link it if/once i do ^^

suga had always felt like the guy who was so close, yet so far.

you both kind of knew each other because you both went to karasuno and you were kiyoko’s younger sister.

you knew him, and he knew you. however, you had only ever briefly said hi a couple of times, and you had stopped by the gym a few times to give your sister a lunch, a message, or to take her home. he was nothing more than an acquaintance. and due to the fact that he was a year older than you, you assumed that he probably viewed you as shimizu’s little kid sister, which honestly, he did at first.

one day, however, he came over to your house along with daichi-san and asahi-san to study with kiyoko.

he came way too early, (like way too early even for him) so both daichi and asahi weren't there, and your sister was out running errands because she hadn't anticipated that he'd be so early, so she wasn't there either. when he came, you were in the middle of a destress-cooking-sesh (that's what i call them bc i have little cooking sessions to destress)

you couldn't really let one of your sister's closest friends stand outside your house, so you let him, served him some tea, and got back to cooking.

since there wasn't much to do, he just watched you cook while the two of you made small talk.

he was amazed at the skill, precision, and passion that went into the food that you made.

you let him have it because you didn't really want any, you just wanted to cook.

mans was blown away.

it was possibly one of the best things he had ever eaten.

something about the food brought the two of you together, and the room became instantly less awkward. the more he learned about you, the more he realized that you weren't actually a little kid. sure, you were in nishinoya's year, but you had a summer birthday and you were actually the same age as him. plus, despite you in the year below and him being pretty smart, you two somehow were taking some classes of the same level. the more he talked with you, the more he realized that you weren't as little as he initially thought.

the two of you began noticing each other more and more in the hallways. you had always gone the same path to your classes, but the two of you were for some reason only now noticing that you took the same path.

the two of you began to talk more and more, gradually learning more about each other's interests and personality traits.

suga was kind. he was sweet, understanding, compassionate, and had a dorky sense of humor. he was gentle, soothing, caring, and had a very high EQ.

you began visiting the volleyball practices more often, both to support your sister, but also because getting closer to suga made your curiosity in the volleyball club grow.

maybe suga hadn't realized it because he had known you since you were in middle school, but you were gorgeous. i mean, you and kiyoko share the shimizu bloodline, how could you not be absolutely stunning? but perhaps it took tanaka and nishinoya pointing out in a very loud and straightforward manner that you were indeed beautiful was what made him realize it.

you often brought homemade food for you and your sister when you went to the gym to watch, and suga found your lunches so intriguing. your food was thoughtful, smart, complex, and delicious. you would keep in mind kiyoko's preferences, what would and wouldn't be good in a packed bento, and how you could find new flavors with spices, ingredients, and techniques.

when you offered him a bite for the first time, he happily accepted and was in awe of how delicious it was. the first time he ate one of your bentos consisted of odeng, kimchi, oi muchim, kongnamul muchim, hobak bokkeum, mu saengchae, and myeolchi bokkeum, (these r some of my fav korean banchans if ur wondering! im korean btw) an onigiri with a smoked spicy anchovy filling, and extra spicy mapo tofu made with a homemade vegan meat. you offered him some because you got carried away and made too much, but you hadn't expected his reaction.

you hadn't expected his eyes to light up the way they did when he tried your mapo tofu. you hadn't expected him to comment on the flavors of each banchan you made and for him to tell you why he liked that one in particular. you hadn't expected him to be in such awe at the flavors and textures in the onigiri. you hadn't expected his enthusiastic and animated reactions. you hadn't expected him to be so cute.

wait. cute?

from then on, you began bringing extra accidentally on purpose so that you could give some to him while tanaka and nishinoya whined in the back about how it wasn't fair that he got to eat the food made by a goddess. he caught on quickly and began accidentally on purpose forgetting to bring a quick snack to fuel him through practice. it was the kind of thing that the two of you never mentioned you were doing, but you both knew you were doing it.

before you knew it, you and suga were hanging out outside of school. you had a sleepover with him once when you stayed over at his house too late. you were constantly meeting up to hang out, study, or just be in each other's presence. he comforted you at your lowest moments, and you did the same for him. when you were on the verge of tears and all alone, you would facetime suga and cry on camera with him. when exams were stressing you out and you were neglecting your health, suga would pull you apart from your studies and into the biggest hug. when suga was feeling doubtful of his volleyball skill, you would reassure him that despite him not being a genius setter like that kageyama guy, he had things that made him special and set him apart. (no pun intended im sorry) when suga felt incompetent and unimportant, you reminded him that humans are living imperfections, and that he was only human, and doing great. (your food also helped the situation) suga had quickly become your best friend.

and it wasn't until one day when your friend asked, "so, shimizu-chan, what's up with you and that third-year on the volleyball team? are the two of you, like, secretly dating or something?" that it hit you.

you had the fattest crush on sugawara koshi.

at first, you didn't know what to do with this newfound information. with yourself.

you began overanalyzing every interaction the two of you shared.

every conversation, every touch, every text.

you began noticing every detail about him.

his pretty brown eyes.

his fluffy grayish hair.

his gentle smile.

his mole under his left eye.

the way his eyes lit up when he ate your food, or when you two were talking about something really interesting or funny.

the way he let out a soft, breathy laughs whenever he found something hilarious.

the way he studied so diligently and somehow wordlessly inspired you to do the same.

suga liked disney songs. when you two studied together, you would listen to disney tracks. it helped him focus, and the two of you would occasionally take healthy dance breaks whenever the best song ever came on.

suga danced and laughed when he got nervous or felt embarrassed. it was his way of shaking it off and coping.

suga liked ballroom dancing with you for no reason. he would wordlessly turn on an elegant ballroom type song and he would sweep you up with his hands above your hips and your arms around his neck. (he got consent the first time) it didn't matter before, but now that you had realized you had a crush on him, it made you feel slightly giddy.

suga taught you how to pepper (if you don't know what that is, it's when two people pass-set-hit to each other! im a competitive elite vb player if ur wondering :) also i started playing vb before i watched haikyuu. idc if u don't care bc im just saying that i liked vb before it became popular and it's a point of pride hehe) so that the two of you could pepper together.

suga was really happy when you told him you wanted to learn how to play volleyball. he taught you the basics with patience and kindness, and it made him so happy that you, a person that he held very dear to his heart, wanted to learn about the sport that he held very dear to his heart.

suga cried easily. he had a big heart that was broken easier than most people thought. he was good at putting up a strong front for others, but he was just as soft as asahi when it came to certain things on the inside.

you loved suga.

you couldn't deny it, or try to erase your feelings at this point, because you were very aware that you were in love with sugawara koshi.

and you know what? you were fine with that. you felt confident that he didn't like you back, which was sad at first, but you got used to it. you loved suga as a friend too. all you had to do was not take the crush too far, and make sure he felt comfortable. you were perfectly happy to stay the way the two of you were and remain status quo.

until you weren't.

it upset you that every time suga did something cute or attractive, you couldn't just kiss him and embrace him and tell him he was adorable.

it upset you seeing your friends happily in love while you had to suppress your feelings just so that you wouldn't lose him as a friend.

it upset you that you were feeling such emotions when you had promised yourself that you wouldn't take this crush too far.

it upset you. this whole situation upset you. however, you didn't have the courage to confess to him, so you would have to be content with your current situation.

until one day..

"what?" it took you a moment to process what suga had just said.

"i.. really like you, shimizu y/n."

you froze. you didn't know what to say. it hadn't felt out of the ordinary when suga texted you to come outside to that special spot behind the trees for lunch. you had expected the two of you to eat lunch as per usual, but that was not the case. instead, you were greeted by a red-eared sugawara koshi with a bouquet of flowers and chocolate covered strawberries confessing his love to you.

" you are beautiful, smart, kind, funny, sweet, and the best girl i have ever met. you're my best friend, and i'm so glad that you share shimi- uh, kiyoko..?'s blood, because i don't think i would have met you otherwise."

his face and ears were a bright tomato red.

"so, uh- if you don't feel the same way thats totally cool and i respect that, but i just felt like i nee-"

you enveloped suga in the biggest hug and gently whispered, "i like you too," in his ear.

you didn't know that it was physically possible for ears to get any more red, but they did. he teared up a little and hugged you back. tight. life felt crazy at that moment. he had finally won the girl of his dreams. he needed to hug her tight just in case this was a wonderful dream, and she would disappear if he let go. so he did. held you tight as tears fell from his face in bliss. he knew that this moment would be the start of a beautiful adventure.

and it was.

It’s Risotto’s birthday and Formaggio had the great idea to take the entire team to all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. It’s not their first time eating here, but it’s definitely not their last.

So, here are my headcanons on what eating KBBQ with the boys would be like.

Illuso doesn’t mind KBBQ but he can’t stand smelling like grilled meat and gas/coal after a meal, so he spends most of his time in the mirror world when the crew goes out to eat. At one point, using the mirror world was La squadra’s way of doing AYCE without having to pay for more per people (because they can just have Risotto bring a mirror, hand the food to them there, and everyone else is in said mirror grilling as they please), but the team ultimately decided that it was way better to just pay for everyone and eat in the restaurant than stay in the mirror world with Illuso just to eat for cheaper. Illuso will complain about how the meat is cooked or how he’s going to smell awful afterwards- and then proceeds to eat all the meats before anyone can have barely a taste. Every time the team goes to eat, someone simply brings and props up a mirror near the grill and have him grab meats from it whenever he pleases. Servers are scratching their heads when they notice a random arm popping out of seemingly nowhere to grab a piece of sam gyeob sal like a horror movie.

Prosciutto doesn’t mind having his clothes smell after KBBQ surprisingly; he claims he is doing what South Koreans do when it comes to walking out of a restaurant smelling like grilled meats after a good meal. In fact, he’s on meat grilling duty most of the time. His job is to make sure everything is cooked to order quickly and properly so that all the team members are fed. Like any senior citizen, he’s a karen who would complain about things like not getting any meats in quickly, the wait time being too long, the grills not being changed quickly enough, etc. He’s ordering the meats too and wants to make sure that the team get’s their money’s worth. That means ordering the better cuts of meats if available like kalbi and duck and yelling at his teammates for eating 5 hours before dinner (not even a cookie is acceptable). He gets pissy if anyone tries to order what he deems as “cheaper cuts of meats” like chicken or fish or spends more of their time eating banchan instead.

Pesci gets yelled at for wanting said cheaper cuts because his stomach can’t always handle heavier meats and wants to eat items oftentimes on the non-AYCE menu. He prefers a-la-carte since he can control how much meat he can get, which is sometimes okay if the team is just wanting a simple meal but kind of annoying when they’re at an AYCE area. The team likes to use Pesci to get free stuff, so they would come in saying it’s Pesci’s birthday or that Pesci is way younger than he is to get a children’s discount. Pesci, being the good boi he is, tries to correct them, which results in Formaggio or Prosciutto to elbow him to not expose their lies. He likes his meat more well done and is willing to wait for his other members to eat first so that the meat he wants cooks longer, sometimes making him a garbage disposal for meats he can eat. Prosciutto always hounds on him to finish his meats so that nothing is wasted and therefore no extra fees are paid regardless of his stomach. Still, Pesci still enjoys these times since its fun to people watch the chaos that unfolds.

Melone backs Pesci up regarding the non-AYCE because he sometimes craves those items too and will offer to pay for the non-AYCE items himself so Prosciutto could shut up and let them eat stuff outside of the AYCE menu for once. He can still eat the meats on the grill but he spends much of his time making wraps with the vegetarian banchans and non-AYCE items at the table. He loves banchan like Kongnamul Muchim and Oi Muchim and is always asking the servers to refill on them every second. He’s also an expert in creating wraps. Rice wraps, radish wraps, lettuce wraps- all the wraps that could be made, Melone makes them all and with various combinations. He will make them for himself and his team members if they ask, sometimes teasing them to “open wide” so he can personally feed them. Formaggio still wonders how Melone can fit his wraps, which are often large and very compacted, into his mouth sometimes in one go. But the man manages. Somehow the man manages to eat a log of food and moans in the process. Thank God the restaurant is loud enough so no one would hear that.

Formaggio loves his meats, but he also loves his sauces and seasonings. He prefers ordering the non-marinated stuff so he can season the meats right on the table and dips his meats in EVERYTHING. He loves the KBBQ places where you can DIY your sauces and would make his own combos of peanut sauces, chili sauces, garlic sauces, all the sauces. Get this man away from corn cheese because he will never leave. Part of why Illuso stays in the mirror world is because Formaggio once spilled fish sauce on him while trying to get back to his seats. When it comes to the non-marinated meats like steak cuts, Formaggio puts on a show. He’ll salt and pepper the meat before using the butter to mix with the free garlic from the sauce bar and melt the complimentary butter so the steak could be based in it later on. When it comes to eating however, he’s more on eating meats than eating banchan, mainly because he’s not a vegetable kind of guy and wants to “get all his protein in”. Formaggio wouldn’t mind sneaking in a bit of Eomuk Bokkeum or Gamja Jorim to cleanse his palate though.

Ghiaccio is also on team “only meat so I can get my protein in” but he tries to steer away from eating the marinated stuff to really optimize his macros; if anything he prefers Yakiniku more because there’s less marinated meats in that style, but he will never say no to KBBQ nonetheless. He’s also the person trying to get the most bang for his buck but rather than starve he just works himself out even more that day to have more calories to eat or hits the gym right after. An unofficial garbage disposal, he takes up left over meats not only to avoid waste fees but to really get as much protein regardless of taste. He does balance it with an occiasional grilled veggie or vegetable banchan as a means to cleanse his palatte but he’s often trying to fight over getting meat in his mouth first. He’s also down to experiment if there’s an unusual dishes to grill, especially if he’s at a KBBQ place that’s less conventional. Organ meat? Other animals? Meat is meat and Ghiaccio is immediately wanting to try it out.

Sorbet helps Prosciutto in terms of choosing which meats are best to pick. He knows his meats and knows which one would be worth eating loads on. However, unlike Prosciutto, he likes variety and would convince the former to order other meats besides pork and beef if it’s worth it. It’s also because he feels sorry for Pesci and would have Prosciutto order non-marinated meats and seafood so the guy can eat with the rest of the team. He definitely pregamed before the meal yet somehow he managed to eat way more, saying that he needs to train his stomach to eat lots of food when it comes to these. Sorbet actually prefers marinated meats the most, since he believes its a good indicator of whether the restaurant is good and he’s not too fond of dipping into sauces to flavor the meat. He also likes going to places that have more unusual banchan, either complimentary or at additional costs, like Yangnyeom Gejang.

Gelato is mostly sitting back when it comes to KBBQ but he’s on drink duty! He’s the one ordering soju shots, beers, cocktails, and doing all those twists and rituals needed before opening a soju bottle. He’s also the one setting up and getting the team to play drinking games, hounding everyone to get into the action and laughing at how competitive everyone gets in the end. His goal is to make everyone as drunk as possible so he could get some potential blackmail to use against his members in case someone crosses him but also because his idea of fun involved drunken shenanigans. Usually, he ends up being the drunkest, so La Squadra lives another day not getting blackmail. Of course, he also times it well enough to make sure no one that’s going to drive will be sober enough to drive once the meal is done. The only person he doesn’t have drink is Risotto, mainly because Risotto is always the designated driver and the only driver everyone collectively trust to get home in one piece.

Risotto is unofficial main garbage disposal alongside Pesci and Ghiaccio. All the cooked meats that are left uneatened, either because the team doesn’t want to eat it anymore or they’re becoming full but they don’t want to charge extra for waste, it goes to Risotto. Given how big he is and how high his metabolism is as well, he doesn’t mind eating the leftovers and finishing the meal if needed. Secretly, this is also because he doesn’t mind eating well-done, slightly overcooked meats, so this is his opportunity to eat such meats without getting ridiculed under the guise that he’s helping out. Given that it is his birthday, everyone tries to order the best meats for him and shelling a few extra bucks for the premium menu options. In reality, he’s fine with the sliced briskets and various Bulgogi. He doesn’t need anything fancy. He’s just glad that he and his boys are having dinner together despite their hectic schedules.

---

At the end of the meal, everyone is stuffed. Formaggio is crying because his stomach is hurting from overeating. Illuso exaggerates on how he can’t walk and throws himself onto members before getting pushed off by them. Prosciutto says he never wants to do KBBQ again if he keeps feeling awful after every time he eats. Pesci is whimpering because his stomach is also hurting but doesn’t want to appear weak. Everyone collectively say they can no longer eat another bite and walk back to the parking lot in silence for the rest of the way out. When they reach to their cars, Melone speaks up.

“Anyone want to go get boba?”

“Oh hell yeah!”

“So down.”

“Definitely craving some right now.”
