Thinking about Aoki getting a dog and naming him Ichirou and people thinking he’s a baseball fan but really the dog’s named after his favorite volleyball player

#it's sooo cheesy but i don't care #also i like thinking about how oda'd react when he makes the connection #aoki gave the dog the part of his name he doesn't use #idk if he'd be able to be active enough to keep a shiba w being a top lawyer #but i was thinking one of them tbh since oda's compared to one #2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley bu #odaoki #aoki misao #oda shin'ichirou #2.43 #ebw.op

I feel it most keenly when I stand next to the 193-cm Aoki. These 163 centimeters of mine… are fatally insufficient for a spiker.

#and ofc he's slouching here while aoki's standing up straight?? and he's facing aoki while aoki's facing away?? fuck #2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley bu #oda shin'ichirou #aoki misao #odaoki #2.43 #2.43 manga

“Where next, Shin?” 

“Eh, it doesn’t really matter to me. Like I said before, I just wanted to take in the sights with you.” Shin shrugged. “It’s almost closing time, anyway.”

Misao eyed the bustling crowd around them. “The roof, then?”

“Sure,” his companion agreed easily. “There’s nothing happening up there though.”

“To be honest, I’ve had enough of the festivities.” Misao said. “I just wanted to sit somewhere in peace and quiet.”

It wasn’t about what he does, but who he’s doing it with. He’d happily watch paint dry with Shin.

Shin laughed, bright and boisterous, the way it does when he was genuinely amused. “You sound like a cranky old man.” He gestured at the stairwell leading up to the roof. “Let’s get going, then.”

The roof was empty when they got up there, though the presence of snack wrappers, empty paper cartons, and plastic bottles made it clear that someone else had been around at some point. 

Shin marched over to the pile. “Geez, can’t people pick up after themselves?” 

“Who's the cranky old man now? Just leave it for the clean-up crew.” Misao said. He knew for a fact that the second-year reps on Student Council had assigned someone to double-check that everything had been properly disposed of, since it was his job last year. “They can take care of it.”

“Yeah well, it’s gonna bother me now, so.” Shin grabbed as many of the cartons as he could and dumped them into the trash can sitting at the corner. “At least they didn’t spill food everywhere.”

“Small mercies indeed.” Misao replied, dry as a desert.

from the 1st section (autumn) of the fic i talked to you about :V i still don’t have a solid idea for section 4/summer 😅

I just kind of did whatever today trying to figure out how I wanna draw his hair, but yeahhh, I don’t think I’ll be drawing it like this. I still wanna have him have it in a loose braid, but auughhhh

(This is actually making me wish I still had long hair, and I found my long hair obnoxious. I have zero clue what I’m doing.)

「一緒にバレーやらんようになっても、縁が切れるわけやねぇんやもんな。寂しい気になんかなることねぇな。ほやほや。実家も近いんやし、ずっと繫がってるんやで。お互いいつか結婚して子どもできて、孫もできてじいさんになっても」 いかにも晴れやかな顔でこういうことを言う奴である。 「……ほやな。はは」 青木は空笑いに頰を引きつらせて目を逸らした。わからなくていいとはたしかに言ったが……それにしても、だ。本当にじいさんになるまでわからんのか……？

Whattt the hell is this, oh my god. I know Oda means even when they each get married and have kids and even when they become grandfathers, they’ll still be in each other’s lives, but I don’t know if it could possibly be interpreted as them marrying each other or if that “お互い” explicitly makes it “both/each, separately.” (Y’know like in English, “When we marry” can sound like marrying each other or separately marrying and context says which one it is. Would it be accurate to translate it ambiguously like I kinda want to, is what I want to know.)

And what the hell is Aoki doing thinking about that “ulterior motives” exchange, which I’m pretty sure everyone agrees was pretty damn gay, here. Rather, why is he giving a forced laugh and averting his eyes and thinking about it here? Is it just a combination of my shipping goggles plus not having 100% comprehension yet, or are we supposed to read Aoki having feelings for Oda into it? This is far from the first time one of their exchanges could be easily read as gay.

I am going to go insane.

#i'm probably gonna write the fic where it is explicitly that aoki has feelings for him #and oda is oblivious #aoki might come this close to confessing on their way home after they've parted ways w the 2nd-years #but idk if he would much less how oda would react if he did #2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley bu #odaoki #oda shin'ichirou #aoki misao #2.43 #ebw.op #oda means separately and he /knows/ he means separately even if it is misinterpretable #but really he wants it to be him #moreover - though he knows he wants to be by oda's side for as long as oda will let him #he doesn't think oda can know that that 'as long as he will let him' is their entire lives with the same level of conviction #no one can know what the future will hold - except that aoki misao will love oda shin'ichirou through all of it no matter what apparently #he makes me so insane

If you take away volleyball, I’m just a boring person… Do you… enjoy spending time with me? Eh? What’s with that question? Am I his girlfriend or something, oi. Ah… Shin, you’re acting strange. Am I? You are.

#totally not me just doing this bc the person translating the books left out the ''what am i his girlfriend'' line #but also the feels... ugh #2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley bu #odaoki #oda shin'ichirou #aoki misao #2.43 #2.43 manga

Hey, won’t you join the volley club with me? Volley? As in, volleyball? You? Well, I certainly may be short now, but I can only grow from here. There are even guys who’ll grow 30 cm in high school. By third year, I may even catch up to you. And then—I’ll become a super ace like Gaichi! A super ace? What’s that, sounds strong. He’s the coolest and most reliable spiker on the team! You know Gaichi, yeah? Nakagaichi Yuuichi! He’s from right here in Fukui Prefecture, y’know. Also—

#i love the way he sparkles when he talks about his ambitions #and that's the same ambition and enthusiasm that hooked aoki into giving it a shot (and falling for him soon enough) #2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley bu #oda shin'ichirou #aoki misao #odaoki #2.43 #2.43 manga #i dunno that anyone calls vball just 'volley' in eng but it's the closest thing i could think of #to 'ballet バレエ and volley(ball) バレー sound the same so aoki makes sure he's thinking of the right one'

[enbyboiwonder]

Man, Aoki’s expression when Oda asks if he enjoys spending time with him. He really was not expecting something like that. Like, of course he does! He doesn’t do stuff unless he wants to, and he wants to stay with Shin for as long as possible—for as long as Shin will let him.

“Shin, you’re being strange.” “Am I?” “You are.”

Aoki… do you say everything that you want to say to me?

Fuck

Oh, fuck, I just stumbled upon like the best angsty odaoki song, and it was right under my nose. Love Love Love by Of Monsters and Men. I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this song, but it came on today and I was like, fuck

He should be ecstatic. Aoki is his best friend; they see each other almost every day for practice, and afterwards they leave together for a quick bite more often than not. Getting along with Aoki is the easiest thing in the world, but—

That look of utter satisfaction on the other’s face in the club office casts the easy camaraderie he shares with Aoki in doubt.

At the end of their second year, Aoki was chosen as the captain of the Seiin’s Boys Volleyball Team. (Or: a treatise exploring the circumstances surrounding Oda’s promotion to team captain in the anime!verse.)

odaoki and modern with magic!

“Here,” Misao murmurs a minor heating spell into his cupped palms, lacing his fingers with Shin’s wind-chapped ones. “I know you don’t like to wear them, but it’s too cold to go out without gloves.”

“I have you though, don’t I?”

[enbyboiwonder]

Because Aoki became the way he is with him so quickly, and because Oda never knew how Aoki was before they became friends, he’s biased and doesn’t even know it. So he thinks, “Aoki can’t possibly be fundamentally selfish, look at all the things he does for me and the volleyball team!” You’re the exception, babe, not the rule.
