Is he really just a friend?

Paring: Satori Tendo x fem!reader

Genre: fluff

Warnings: x

Being a Shiratorizawa volleyball club manager included a lot of things. Running errands for the couch, finding lost balls in the schoolyard, morning calls to some players if they forgot about morning practices, in other words - lots and lots of work. But it has its bright sides. Because being Shiratorizawa volleyball clubs manager included also deep talks with Wakatoshi-senpai before matches, pissing off Shirabu-san when you miss his spikes even though YOU were the one who asked him to stay after practice so you can play a little, and by all means trying to keep Tendo away from annoying the shit out of... basically everyone around.

***

Sun was picking from the window as Satori was pretending to not watching you. After three months since the school year started and since their super grumpy coach introduced you as "manager not distraction," he has fallen for you harder than he thought. And somehow suddenly he was everywhere you were. He learned your favourite drinks and snacks, so soon if the day was hot, he could hand you [your favourite drink] as "some refreshment for our cute manager" (yes, then he gets hit with the ball by the couch but sparks in your eyes are worth it). Satori isn't regular Satori when it comes to you.

- One more, Shirabu-san! Please? - you asked as the setter rolled his eyes. It's not like he didn't like you, he liked you a lot, you were his friend. It was just annoying to toss to someone whose volleyball knowledge ended on how to serve the ball.

- That's the last one. You can't even do it properly - Shirabu grabbed the ball you had just passed him and put it on the ground. - Come here, let me show you the steps at least. God, you watch us play every day, you could've caught up on something.

- I don't watch you play, I work as manager which means I do some tasks off the gym - you talked back but listened to Shirabu's instructions.

Satori leaned on the storage room doorframe and sighted. He would give so much to be in the setter's place. He would give up everything to be the one who makes you smile like that. With slightly lifted corners of your lips, you're happy but also focused on the task.

You tried to do the steps your friend have just shown you when suddenly you tripped on one of your untied shoelaces. You could've kissed the ground if not for Shibaru who quickly grabbed your waist and pulled you up.

- Idiot. - He kneeled in front of you and tied your shoes, which made you blush a little. - Next time at least check if you're actually ready for playing. I mean shoes and so on

- Don't call me an idiot, Shirabu-san.

- Whatever. I call it a day. See you tomorrow, lil one - he messed your hair and headed to the door.

- Don't you call me that name Shirabu Kenjiro! - you shouted after him but the unbothered setter only waved to you without even turning back. Satori sighed and went back to putting the balls on the shelves. How could he not spot before that it was something between you and Shirabu? After all, even if everyone was nice to you, Kenjiro was like nice, but boyfriend-like nice to you. And that was something that was annoying Tendo the most.

******

You were about to close the gym when you heard a familiar voice calling your name. You turned around and saw your team's middle blocker.

- Oh, Tendo-san - you smiled, melting his heart. - You forgot something from the gym?

- Umm actually I was wondering if you still want to learn how to spike? - he smiled at you and started to play with the ball in his hands. Your eyes lighten up. Shirabu was so busy with exams that he didn't have time for you for the last two weeks.

- You will teach me?

- Well I'm not a spiker by profession but I know some moves. Come one, lil one! - driven by sudden confidence he grabbed your hand and pulled you back into the empty gym.

- Don't call me "lil one"! I'm not that small! - you pouted, making Satoru only smile more.

- I bet I'm at least thirty centimeters taller.

- Phi!

- Hey, don't pout. You're cute like that but let's focus on the game.

You blushed hearing that you're cute. Nobody called you cute before. Maybe your closest friend, but it was the first time a boy called you cute.

- Okay. So see. First, you take a step with the left foot, then you do two quick steps, right foot, then left. Remember those have to be at a forty-five-degree angle. On the third one you jump and well hitting the ball part is quite easy and understandable, isn't it? Just think of slapping someone. - redhead smiled and throw the ball at you. - I'll toss to you. I'm no Shirabu but I'll send the ball to you!

- Okay... here it comes! - you throw the ball in the air and, pretty smooth for you, send it to Satori. Quickly calculated everything, the middle blocker tossed the ball. With instructions in your head, you followed the steps, unfortunately missing the ball. You sent Satori a slightly embarrassed smile.

- Sorry?

- Don't mind, don't mind. - Tendo's encouraging smile made you feel better. - We'll try one more time!

This time you hit the ball, but it was too light, went on the other side of the net only by luck.

- One more! - you tossed to ball to Satori. Readhead made his move, and wanted to try a little higher toss so you had more time to get your moves. But somehow he forgot to move out of the way and when the ball bounced off the net he got hit.

- Oh my God, Tendo, are you okay? - you turned to him, gently touching his cheek which made him unbelievably blush.

- I'm fine, lil one.

- You're not. You got hit by the ball. I'm sorry, I'm horrible at that.

- Hey, don't worry. It's not the first and not the last time I got hit by the ball.

- It's my fault.

- It's not. See? I'm fine - he smiled, this way also making you smile. You finally breathed out.

- Okay. But let's stop now. Couch would kill me if I'd injure his players more.

- Oh, I bet the old man wouldn't mind free days without us

- He'd mind. Grumpypants... - you scoffed thinking about the couch.

- Oh, we know you like him.

- He's my grandfather's friend, of course, I like him. Off the court, he can be nice

You waited at the door as Satori took his bag and joined you. Tendo with a smile offered to walk you home, since you lived not so far away from school. As you two were walking down the alley you smiled, breathing in the warm spring evening's air. Satori only smiled seeing you happy. Like liked the setting Sun was reflecting on you. You look just beautiful.

- Ach to end a day like that every day - you sighted and turned to Satori who was a few steps behind you.

- Your boyfriend doesn't mind you hanging out with other guys? - he asked, as he walked next to you.

- Boyfriend?

- You're dating Shibaru, aren't you?

- Shibaru? No no no, God forbid! - you shook your head. - He's my best friend. I'd never date him.

- Is he really just a friend? - Satori asked, using all his willpower to not look at you now.

- Are you... jealous? - you answered with a question and the blush on Satori's cheeks made you sure. - God, you ARE jealous.

- So you're not dating Shibaru?

- No, I just said so.

- Good. - He stopped, and so did you. He turned to the side, so he could face you. Seeing that the sun was blinding you a bit, he stepped to his left to protect you from the light.

- Because I like you and that would be a shame if I had fallen for my teammate's girlfriend.

- You like me?

- Yes. I like you. Would you like to go out with me? - Satori asked with one breath, scared that if he won't say it fast he'd lose his confidence and back up.

You felt your cheeks turning red. You bit your lower lip and you collected the courage to look Satori in the eyes.

- Yes. I'd like that - you immediately dropped your gaze.

- No need to be shy, lil one. - He put his hand on the top of your head like he saw Shibaru do, but he was gentle, and wouldn't dare to mess with you. - It's not like I wasn't scared that you'd turn me down

- I wouldn't tho... - you said silently.

- Huh, you liked me too?

- Maybe?

- Hah, maybe is better than no. - Satori smiled. - Let's go. It's getting dark. - He started to slowly walk down the street, waiting for you to join him. You smiled to yourself and quickly even your steps with his.

If you don't mind can i request an angst to fluff scenario with shirabu where his newborn baby is very sick and still hasn't able to leave the nicu as a doctor shirabu feels utterly useless and couldn't even bear to look at his baby but seeing his wife visiting their baby everyday and hearing her assurance that it's not his fault and that their baby will be ok he finally decide to visit with his wife as much as possible and apologize to his baby for not being there then gradually their baby show enough signs of improvements to go home and the parents just cry tears of joy 😭

I know this isn't what i usually request and it's a pretty heavy scenario but i just couldn't get it out of my head and shirabu is like perfect for it 😔 you don't have to write it if you don't want to or if it makes you uncomfortable of course!

Bestie I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write this because I don’t have much experience with the nicu and premie babies and I don’t want to be insensitive because that’s a very touchy subject for lots of people, but I’m hoping this doesn’t come out insensitive (if anyone finds this insensitive pls let me know so I can fix it!!)

Part two here!

Tw: premature birth, nicu stays, premature baby, angst to fluff, guilt, crying, possibly a breach in hippa guide lines(the doctors talk about declining healths of patients), baby comes home for the first time, cursing

He could feel the guilt eating at him everyday. Everyday he’d come home from the hospital to you crying because your precious little girl had been born premature, this meant she would have to stay in the nicu for a while before she could come home to ensure she’d be healthy.

He couldn’t help his own daughter because he’d be a conflict of interest and it only made him feel worse, how was he supposed to trust his colleges with her? He’s heard how they gather around the coffee machine whispering under their breaths about how certain patients were declining in health. Could he ever recover if the subject of their gossip were to become his daughter?

Seeing you come from the nicu everyday a sad smile on your face knowing you’d have to wait until tomorrow to see her again. He couldn’t even bring himself to see her after she was born and he felt like shit because of it, he’d seen her from across the room after you went into labor but that was really it.

Slowly say by day, your crying died down which Shirabu was thankful for, assuming it meant she was doing better. Any free time you’d had was spent telling him about all the little things she’d done during your visit and how they were preparing for her to go home soon!

“Shirabu?” He hears you call tiredly as he sits in the living room quickly wiping at his face, “what’s wrong?” You ask seeing him wipe at his face.

“I just feel like it’s my fault” he breaks down at the question, you quickly move over wrapping your arms around him as he cries into your shoulder.

“Listen, Kenjiro I felt like that at first too, but I talked with the nurse and she said it’s normal to feel that way when this happens but it’s important to know that there wasn’t a thing either of us could have done to prevent it.” He looks up at you with watery eyes as he nods.

“Besides, she’s ok now, they told me she’s going to come home soon as well.”

And you were right, after a few more days, the two of you were leaving the hospital with your little girl, Shirabu didn’t really know how to react, when he’d seen the nurse holding her he wanted to sob, she looked so much different from when he’d seen her in the delivery room, she looked healthier. Maybe that’s what he was scared of seeing her and she’d been worse than before.

After getting through all the paperwork and getting home he was hurrying to set her car seat down asking you if he could hold her.

“She’s your baby to you know” you tell him looking up as you unbuckle her lifting her gently before handing her over.

“Yea…of course I knew that” he replies but it doesn’t have his usual bitter bite to it, it’s softer almost a whisper full of emotions.

If anyone has more experience with the nicu and knows that something is particular wrong(I tried not to be too detailed to avoid this!) pls let me know so I can fix it!!

Anyways let me know if you guys want me to write anything else because I love writing requests!

hello c: can i maybe request goshiki, shirabu and tendou (or it doesn’t have to be tendou, it can be anyone else) with an s/o that likes dancing but does it secretly? so they don’t want the others to find out because they’re too embarrassed (or kinda like, insecure of their ability-?) & i hope you’re doing well!

hi anon !! this is such a cute idea jsjsjnf hope you are having a good day and you are healthy <333 shirabu's is a little longer than tendou's n goshiki's LOL

WITH AN (INSECURE) DANCER S/O

⤷ tendou, goshiki, shirabu x gn!reader (seperate)

warnings: insecure reader

Your boyfriend was currently at practice, and you being the perfect s/o that you are, decided to wait for him. Unfortunately, due to some circumstances as nationals were coming up, people were not allowed to watch the boys practice. So you took this opportunity to sneak off to the music room and practice the choreography you created. Though, you were too caught up in the moment to realize that your boyfriend had finished practice, and was searching the school for you- only to find you dancing gracefully in the music room.

- [ ♡ ] tendou

The read head scavenged the whole entire school for you and was on the verge of giving up. That was until his ears perked up to the sound of sophisticated music echoing the halls, originating from the music room. Tendou supposed it wouldn't hurt to take a small peek into the music room to see who was playing the ballet music. Tendou dramatically tiptoed towards the door and slid it open just an inch, only to find you- his s/o, dancing nimbly to the beat of the song. The symphony was soon to end, but Tendou paid no mind to the song as his focus was all on you. How you looked so perfect twisting and turning, how you made it look so easy. As the orchestra's playing faded, the redhead could help but applaud, catching your attention. Though, your reaction was not what he was expecting. Maybe a smile, a blush, a bow; no, you looked petrified.

"Tendou? W-what are you doing here...", you spoke sheepishly, deciding the ground was more interesting than your boyfriend as your gaze was glued onto the tile.

"Practice finished a while ago and you said you would wait for me but I couldn't find you so I looked around the whole school", he frowned, noticing the anxiety fulling your body.

You scratched your arm nervously, nodding slowly.

"Why didn't you tell me you danced, Y/N?"

"I-I'm not very good... I didn't think it was worth mentioning"

"Not very good? Y/N that was gorgeous!" Tendou exclaimed, gripping your arms and forcing you to look at him.

"God, every day I learn about something that makes me even more infatuated with you"

- [ ♡ ] goshiki

Goshiki was panicking, he couldn't find you anywhere. So when he heard the booming symphony coming from the music room, he could only hope it was you. Goshiki being Goshiki, slid the door open fully. The door smacking the frame with a slam, making your figure stumble mid-pirouette.

"Wah! I'm so sorry Y/N did I scare you"

You regained you posture and hurried over to stop the music.

"Sorry Tomu- I didn't realize the time"

"No it's... where you dancing in here?"

You felt your throat tighten at his question, and you clenched your fists.

"Um... yeah"

"Can you dance for me Y/N?!" you saw the way his eyes lit up, and the way a soft pink painted his cheeks.

"Tomu, I'm not sure you'll enjoy it since I'm not that good-"

"Non-sense!!! I'm sure your amazing at dancing Y/N, just like how good I am at volleyball!" You laughed at the way his eyes seemed to hold so many stars and you hesitantly nodded.

"How can I say no to you..."

- [ ♡ ] shirabu

(fun fact my discord user used to be redacted shirabu lovebot sjjajfnl)

Shirabu sighed in discontent as he sluggishly wandered the halls for you. All he wanted to do was take a nap with you in his arms, but you were nowhere to be found. Kawanshi ran up to him, tapping him on the shoulder to get his attention.

"They might be in the music room, I heard some music in there and it didn't really sound like the type Semi would play", the two chuckled at the small joke Taichi said.

With Taichi waving him goodbye as he was on his way to his dorm, Shirabu trudged towards the music room in hopes that it was you. His temper was rising by the minute and he could feel himself grow annoyed due to his growing fatigue. As soon as he opened the door, he opened his mouth to whine about how you had made him search the whole school for you but he was cut off by the sight of you, dancing elegantly to the music.

"Y/N what are you doing in-", Shirabu's eyes widened at the sight of you, the oh-so-beautiful sight of you spinning.

Thankfully, you hadn't heard him over the symphony booming from the speaker and you continued your choreography. It was when you messed up your pirouette, leaving you facing the door when you spotted your boyfriend standing at the door stunned.

Feeling the heat crawl up your cheeks you bolted to your phone that was playing the music and put it to a stop, "Sorry Kenji, you weren't supposed to see that-"

"I'm really glad I did Y/N, why didn't tell me you were this talented?"

You shook your head in shame, "I- I didn't think I was that good... It's really just something I do for fun..."

"You're amazing at ballet, don't let yourself think otherwise Y/N", he cupped your cheeks and traced his thumbs over your cheeks.

You couldnt help the smile that was breaking out on your face, until Shirabu ruined the moment. "Now lets take a nap, you made me search the whole school for you."

Complicated

Shirabu x Reader

a/n: im not very familiar with shirabu on a spiritual level like i am w the other characters but ill try my best!!

request: okok haikyuu hcs: shirabu is reader’s childhood best friend and messed up their last game in middle school because he changed his setting style to accommodate ushijima,,, and reader, as the manager is very very pissed and they get into a huge fight,,, so once they get to stz they’re academic rivals, reader became the vbc manager just to spite him (oh yea they definitely still have crushes on each other but it’s hard with the current situation) only if it’s ok!! not a lot of ppl write for him :

this is kinda the best friends-to-rivals-to-friends again-to-lovers

requests open!!

lets get our inhalers bc this finna be a wild one luvs

so, basically,

you and him were actually childhood friends since he lived next door to you

lets say you met when you were 5 and you just stuck on to this slightly cold and dismissive boy who was the shy type

idk bout you but i actually like that type

ppl dont really understand how yall got along bc you were the extrovert and the laughing type of girl

he only stuck around bc you were actually a smart person who helped him occassionally w your organized notes

but he still appreciates your time and efforts to be his friend despite his personality

plus, you also liked volleyball and together you both would watch volleyball matches in his house where you would see him with a smile that he unconsciously wears

like when yall were 8, you gave him a volleyball for his birthday since he lost his old one when he was playing by the river

at first, he was like, ‘oh, thanks, i needed this’

but then as he started tossing it up and down, you could see that bashful smile starting to surface

you shrieked,

bc you rarely see it and you think its super cute,

and just wrap him up in a hug and he turns all shy again but with a soft smile and a soft blush

‘thanks, n/n-chan’

uh oh, feelings

stinky

since he mainly focused on doing homework or studying, not a whole lot of kids really approached him to hang out since they thought he only lived to study and play volleyball

but you didnt care bc youve been friends w this bun for a long time and you know hes not really like that

he has fun moments too

since you were the manager of the volleyball team, you always try to showcase how fun he was by trying to take the team to bonding places

the team does think that shirabu has fun but only if its w you

anyways

one afternoon, you naturally just go to his house w him since your mothers know youre practically best friends and so you basically live in each others houses

yall were about halfway through middle school so shirabu has been studying more to get scholarships for schools

he was studying on the little table while leaning against his bed while you were just lounging on his bed after studying

‘ken-channnnn’

oikawa 2.0

‘hm’

you pouted at the distracted reply before sitting up and wrapping your arms around his shoulder from behind him and placing your chin on his shoulder

‘lets do something fun!!!! im boredddd’

he wasnt really fazed by the skinship bc youve been like that to him since day 1

but thats going to change soon

‘i have a new sudoku book over there that you could do’

omg what

‘ken-chan!’

you shrieked in betrayal before leaping off the bed and grabbing his arm to stand him up

shirabu was actually annoyed that you were distracting his studying but seeing a wide grin on your face made him double stop

am i,,,, catching feelings?

nah, he just going through puberty

‘lets go to the fall market! yuki-chan told me theres a new food place that opened and theyre handing out free samples!’

you excitedly told him and continued shaking his arm to persuade him in going

‘n/n-chan, this is my only free day from volleyball to study. i need to pass the test on friday’

you rolled your eyes at that lame excuse

‘i know. i set up the schedule differently bc you have a big test on friday! but you would still have time to study!’

‘but im still unfamilair with the topic-’

‘cmon, ken-chan! youre so smart you could rival buddha!’

‘i dont think,,,,, thats a right comparison’

‘either way, we’re going to hang out and have fun!’

he honestly didnt know why he was at this crowded market w you

shirabu is a whole simp

‘omg ken-chan! look! takoyaki!’

you dragged him to the stall and the nice old lady smiled before taking your order

‘1 box please. ken-chan, you want?’

he shook his head no and started taking out his wallet to pay

but you stopped him

‘no, you dont have to pay since youre not eating’

‘but i want to’

‘ken-chan! you need to save up for college!’

‘no its fine im pay-’

‘here ya go, dear. free of charge’

you both stopped at the nice lady’s sentence

‘b-but’

‘no it’s okay. its cute to find a boy who’s willing to pay for his girl since that doesnt really happen nowadays. i hope you have a great rest of your date!’

‘it’s not a da-’

‘thank you, maam’

shirabu takes the box and leads you out of there

you smirk and poke his tummy

‘you want to go on a date with me, ken-chan~?’

he turns red and looks away

‘no. it wouldve taken longer to fully explain the situation so just go along with it to make it faster’

you giggled

‘hm sounds fake but okay’

you both continue to walk around the market and even buy a few things like a mini buddha statue or a pair of cat ears for both of you

with everything you bought, shirabu payed with it all

you were pouting as you walked and he noticed so he nudged you with his elbow

‘oi, what’s wrong?’

you crossed your arms

‘hm.. i dont like that ken-chan is buying and spending money for me on things that symbolize our fun. i want to give ken-chan something to remember this day too!’

shirabu grows flustered but hes really confused

youve always been a thoughtful person who tries to be independent but unconsciously ends up depending on others like him

but your thoughts of wanting to do something in return for him just sounds like heaven right now

lmao what a simp

he looks around for a place that could have something that sparked his interest but nothing caught his eye

until he caught a photo booth by the corner

‘oi, n/n-chan, let’s go there’

you followed his finger and you gasped

‘thats perfect, ken-chan! let’s go!’

you drag him to the booth and you giddily enter the coins for the machine to start

but he was starting to think this wasnt a good idea

he was in a cramp space with you pressed against him

but youve always been glomped to his side since yall were kids so what was the difference now?

bc you catching feelings, fool!

‘ken-chan! its starting!’

he finally snaps out of his flustered state and he raises a peace sign with a smile

with all the pictures, there were funny pictures of you and him,

well mainly you

but he was happy to have them w you

‘ken-chan, you know i love you, but when will you fix your hair?’

he glared at you

‘i like it so its staying that way’

you giggled at his attitude

‘okay, ken-chan. at least it would make you stand out in the crowd so i dont have to look for you!’

you hugged his waist and he froze up, suddenly feeling awkward with this familiar position

its okay, shes naturally like this so calm down

dontcrydontcrydontcrydontcry

after your hang out, he didnt even bother going back to studying

he just laid on his bed, looking at the strip of pictures with a fond smile

he was happy that you only showed that true, bright, happy grin to him

it was only for him

and he only showed his to you

bc you were you and you were the greatest thing, next to his parents, that he has in his life

omg that thought

he freezes and the picture falls on his face at that realization

omg, does he like you?

youre a great friend and his best friend and he wants to be your friend forever

but then, he realizes

youd separate one day and youd have a boyfriend and get married and have a family without him

no, he wasnt going to let that happen

he didnt like that thought

and thus, began his crush for you

and you were the same thing too but you noticed it later than him

oof, when this one girl confessed to him at the back of the school, you cried to him when yall got home

‘when ken-chan has a girlfriend, he wont hang out with me anymore! hes not going to be my friend anymore!’

it took some reassurance from him and more from your mom, when you got home, to realize that you liked your best friend

and thus began the skinny love stage

the whole volley team knew of your pining and tbh, they thought yall were dating but you were just like, nah, we friends

if anyone were to look at you, they would think the same thing

but ofc, yall are insecure hormonal teenagers who think that the other doesnt like them and if they confess, they would be rejected and that would ruin their friendship and they would not be friends anymore and they dont think they could handle that so its better to keep the feelings hidden and remain friends bc if theyre happy, theyre happy

oml my entire love life

this continued on until the last year of middle school

bc not only do you suddenly stop being friends, you became rivals

so as volleyball manager, you helped the team with whatever they needed in return of them doing their absolute best and winning the game

the last game of the year, you were slightly confused at the way shirabu was playing bc it wasnt the normal way he sets

before, his sets were so good that he could give it to any player and they would spike perfectly

but now, it was so different due to the simple, almost lazy, and very high tosses

the team was slightly irritated bc they couldnt keep up with the high tosses so they couldnt hit it

in between the sets, during break, you pulled him aside as you wiped off his sweat

‘ken-chan, youre not setting properly to the others. theyre getting angry because it doesnt allow them to spike right.’

he glares at you, with almost manic eyes

‘its their fault for not being able to jump high enough. in order to get a point, the ace must get a high toss to aim a quick spike’

‘but theyre not able to jump that high, ken-chan!’

you whispered, worried that he was going too intense and they would lose the game

all the hard-work the others put in, all to waste

‘i dont care. i must start early and change early so ushijima could hit my sets in the future’

‘but they’re not ushijima, kenjiro!’

you whisper-yelled

‘right now, theres no ushijima, no oikawa, its just you and the team. your team’

he was shook that you used his first name and the way you were actually telling him off

youve never been like that before

but he was blinded by his goal in the future

‘why is he our ace if he couldnt even hit tosses meant for an ace?’

‘because hes not the ace you’re hoping him to be!’

‘kenjiro, listen to me, these boys have worked their asses off for years to even come close to playing against seijoh or shiratorizawa. im going to do everything i can to make that happen and im not going to let them lose just bc you are too busy focusing on the future rather than the present’

with the way he looked at you, you really thought he would listen to you and play the way his team needs him to play

but no, he played the way he thought ushijima needed him to play

in the end, due to the foreign and unfamiliar tosses, they were unable to hit as much points causing them to lose

you could never forget the looks on your fellow classmates, who were also going to graduate this year, as they watched the ball that shirabu tossed, hit the floor right next to them

to say you were pissed was an understatement

you were F U R I O U S ™

you held the hands of the first years as they were devastated at their first loss

but you caught the eye of your ‘friend’ and he was biting his lip in irritation and anger

as your team was walking to their locker room to get changed, you pulled shirabu aside

‘what the hell’

he stared at you

‘we lost. we lost bc they couldnt keep up’

‘kenjiro! are you not listening to yourself?! you lost because you couldnt accept the fact that your teammates arent ushijima wakatoshi! you couldnt accept the fact that they’re not tall enough! strong enough! ace-like enough! and for what?! for the future?! the future where you’re going to set for someone like ushijima?!’

‘i vowed to set for a player like him, y/n! i want to toss a ball to someone as powerful and as talented as him! thats a promise i intend to keep’

you were dumbfounded

he was acting on his own reasons and selfish intent, even costing them a game, for his preparation in the future

‘i cannot believe you right now. i didnt know you were so selfish, shirabu. of all the years i knew you, you were never like this. so what changed?’

at the almost betrayed look on your face hurt him bc weren’t you always there to help him? to support him? wasnt that the reason you became a manager in the first place?

‘you dont understand, y/n. i need to change the way i play now because it will greatly benefit me in the future’

honestly, you didnt even know why you were so angry about this

sure, it was volleyball and it was just a game

you had high school to win it again

but maybe it was the fact that he wasn’t being the shirabu you knew

the ken-chan you grew up with and harbored feelings for for years

he was turning to someone that worked not for himself, but for some guy he has never even spoken to

you blinked away the tears and looked off the side, away from his face

‘right. the future. yanno, if youre already like this, i dread to think about how you would act once you get that goal of yours. but i know one thing. im not going to be there to see it happen’

god that last sentence

he felt a piece of his world crumble bc were you saying goodbye? were you leaving him?

‘i cant see you torture yourself into changing into a new person, kenjiro. so good luck finding someone who can’

‘oh yea? well, i dont need you! i’ll be perfectly fine on my own and find someone better than you! youre easily replacable!’

that was a big booboo love

that fight costed him more than a decade of friendship and a few years of love

despite living so closely together, you refused to even acknowledge him and when your parents got together, you’d find some way to be out ofthe house or you’d lock yourself in your room

he tried many times to get to you and even cried to you, begging to not leave him

but you willed strong and you left him alone

omg she handled this so bad and i cant w puberting teenagers

eventually, he got tired of chasing you and was now angry at you for picking a team of people youve only met for a few years over him who’s been there for you since you were 5

he was betrayed, cold, and sad

however,

without each other to be there, you both studied even harder and eventually, you were both able to get into shiratorizawa

initially, you wanted nothing to do w that school since you knew kenjiro was going to be in it and that bastard ushijima wakatoshi was too

um,,, babygurl ushi did nothing to you

but your mother really wanted you to go to a nice school since she wanted you to go to a nice college

since yall werent friends anymore, he didnt know you wouldn’t be in shiratorizawa

so imagine his surprise when he saw you entering his class with the girls uniform on and a completely new hairstyle and hair color and were you wearing makeup?!

lmao she acting like they broke up

anyways, all he knows, is that boys were already looking at you and vying for attention and dear god, he didnt know how to handle that

for the first month of school, youd think you would just be ignoring each other like you did back in middle school

but nope!

somehow, yall were now talking again!

except it was a mean type of talking

you see, shirabu studied as much as he breathed and you were just a naturally smart sister who didnt study as much

but you still were able to make it to the top and currently, you were the 1st in your entire class

‘ara ara? 1st again? better luck next time, shirabu-kun~’

he glared at you from his seat as you passed by with a smug grin

this fueding is giving me vertigo

‘shut up. at least some of us work for our grades’

that was so weak lmao

but you turned around to blink your eyelashes, slightly mocking him

‘eh? are you saying that i’m naturally gifted? yanno, shirabu-kun, naturally gifted people are much better than those who have to work for it. you play with ushijima-senpai, right? so you’d know the difference between you two.’

bringing up ushijima always pained him but he kept repeating it to himself that he was doing it so that he could go to nationals

sensing his silence as defeat, you waved your hand and went back to conversing w your other friends

this continued on again for a while and he was already sick and tired of it

not only was it beginning to get annoying, it was beginning to hurt

he cornered you at your locker

aaaaa kabedon!!!!!!!

‘listen to me and listen well, y/n’

yessir im listening

‘whatever the hell youre doing, cut it out. youre not going to rile me up anymore and im not going to give you the reactions you want. i dont understand why youre doing this to me but you need to stop before i make you’

ohgodyessir

ngl, that tone of his voice was the lowest youve heard and it made you so red bc that was just hot

but you gulped before grinning wolfishly, hand pressed against his chest and the other snaking around his neck

you pulled him down to your level so you could lean close to his ear

‘now you listen to me and listen well, ken-chan, youre not my best friend anymore so you can no longer tell me what to do, kay?’

shirabu was just flustered at the close proximity between your lips and his ears that he completely missed your warning

he only snapped out of it when you walked away, heading towards your next class

you sat in class that day, wondering how to tease him more

clearly, just words wouldnt make him irritated

gurl why you doing this

and you were stumped until you saw a red-haired looking guy accompanied by a gray-haired looking guy coming up to you

ofc you recognized them from the volley team since you’ve,,,,,,maybe seen a few practices

you thought theyd just pass by but they stopped in front of you and you looked up w wide eyes

‘can,,,, i help you?’

‘wow shes cute!’

the red head shouted and you shrunk under the gazes of these tall men

‘sorry about him. im semi eita, second year’

you shook his hand and you introduced yourself before soon finding out this other guy was tendo satori

‘so what do you need me for?’

‘you see, we’re kinda in need of a manager. and i think its better to have a manager who is close to a player in the team. i apologize to say this but i saw you and shirabu-san by the lockers the other day and i think its best to have his girlfriend as our manager’

‘g-girlfriend?!’

you shrieked, shocked that they thought you were

at this mention, you got a flashback from the festival and you soon turned bright red at the label of you being kenjiro’s girlfriend

‘and youre so cute y/n-chan! i can see what our darling kouhai sees in you!’

‘no, you got it all wrong its-’

then you stopped

omg this was the perfect opportunity

no gurl stop jesus take the wheel

shirabu would hate it if you were a manager bc that would give you more room to tease him

holy

then you smiled

‘i accept, senpais. i want to see my baby in action after all’

they were ecstatic since it was a hassle to find a manager who wasnt infatuated w ushijima

you exchanged contacts and soon, you were brought to meet the team

oh boy when kenjiro saw you at the door, he dropped the ball on his head

what in the hell were you doing here

‘guys, this is our new manager!’

you peeked out from tendo and waved at them

‘hello, my name is l/n y/n, first year. and im glad to be your manager’

noticing shirabu’s shocked form, tendo and semi shared a look and interpreted as, hes so happy that his senpais chose his girlfriend for him so now he could show off and play better and that could hopefully turn his attitude to be more grateful and respectful rather than this dismissive and disrespectful behavior

but shirabu was dying inside

oh god, youre totally going to tease him during practice and hes not going to be at his best and hes not going to be able to prove himself to ushijima

‘oi! shirabu-kun! come be grateful to your senpais for letting your darling girlfriend as our manager!’

‘hey baby!’

omg, what

again, you have a loud and expressive personality so you were kinda shameless so you just ran up and hugged him

aaaaa this is so embarassing wth

‘didnt you miss me? oh, youre so cute!’

god, he knows youre only here to spite him

right on point, good sir

ugh you were practically teasing him as the manager and you were having so much fun making him all flustered

but he was also spiteful

sometimes, he would stick his foot out whenever youd run towards a player and hed laugh at you embarassing yourself in front of them

youd return the favor by accidentally throwing his water bottle at his face

‘oh, gomen, ken-chan’

the entire time, the team was baffled to see the usual stoic and dismissive shirabu so freely laughing and actually teasing you

they think its just for good fun and not the aim of hurting each other since yall are dating and youre just flirting

combined w being academic rivals and now rivals during the team, you both were unintentionally becoming close again

the brutality was slowly simmering to a low heat

and turn the over on at 350 degrees

now, it was just to make each other flustered

the crush that you thought was gone, was slowly digging itself out like the zombies in plants vs zombies

and my god you were annoyed

from now on, you were nothing but rivals and a parasite on his side

him feeling the same

dating would cause too much and the hurtful words would eventually come back up and you concluded that you were just too different

you didnt conclude shit

one time, the team was walking from practice to a nearby convenience store to pick up food

ofc you were picking out a billion foods and you just shoved them all to his arms

‘my darling boyfriend would pay for it because he loves me. ya know what they say, make his pockets hurt’

he glared at you

‘as far as i remember, i wasnt dating a pig’

ngl, that hurt a little bc hes calling you a fattie

but he still went up to pay for it and you intentionally bumped him with your hips to annoy him but it caused him to drop his wallet to fall

and out came his money and that picture

the picture from nearly 3 years ago

you bent down to pick it up before he could even move

god, yall were so happy and young back then

it was awkward silent since you didnt give it back and yall walked out of the store and the team was sensing the weird vibe around you two

‘oi, what happened? its so tense!’

‘did you fight?’

‘did you get caught making out by the aisles?’

‘ong shut up, kai!’

yall kai is a third year senpai that i completely made up since we dont get insight on the senpais before ushijima

but the team noticed the weird aura around you two and decided to walk away to give yall some space

‘can-will you hand it over now?’

shirabu mumbled

you nodded and pushed it in his hands

‘why,,,, why do you still have it?’

‘you gave it to me. of course id still have it’

you were silent before coughing

‘can we talk?’

‘its about time we do’

yall walked away from the team towards your home but were taking weird turns and corners to prolong the walk

you looked up to see him and you laughed

‘this is ridiculous. its not fair’

‘what are you talking about?’

he whispered

‘i was so angry at you for saying that you dont need me and that you could easily find someone better because i knew that and i didnt like it. but i was so hurt that it came from your mouth. out of everyone, i would rather die than hear you say that to me. i think thats why ive been like this. i dont know, im being stupid. i was being stupid.’

he stopped walking and clenched his fist while glaring at the ground

‘you told me you were going to leave me. you were telling me that you wouldnt be friends with me anymore. i had to choose between you or volleyball and i wasnt at the right state of mind at that time so i chose incorrectly’

you noticed him not beside you anymore so you went behind him to rest your forehead on his back so he would see you since he preferred to be honest while not looking at you

‘ken-chan, we messed up big time, didnt we?’

his body shook as he laughed

‘i guess we did’

‘it was only over a game. i was so mean and dramatic and ive called you names and said bad stuff about you and im sorry’

‘im not innocent either. i said those words to you and im sorry’

despite slightly making up now, you both knew those feelings would have to wait because you were only getting each other back

‘can we start over, ken-chan?’

‘you want to?’

‘yes’

‘then we will’

omg the whiplash this is giving me

so yall are finally becoming friends and your families are relieved yall made up again bc wowza those dinners were torturous

‘now that they made up, we can go back to planning their wedding’

‘MOM NO!’

slowly but surely, everything has been going steady and your friendship was getting better

but you didnt admit to the club about everything bc again, shirabu was like, ‘i dont feel like explaining everything’

you both still kept a rivalry but it was friendly this time with cute wagers like treat me to milk bread or banana milk

tOOrU oIKaWA’s fAvoRiTE fOod iS MiLK bREaD

he came over often and studied w you and yall would end up actually just watching a movie or watching brain games, unconsciously cuddled up on the couch

however,

this new closeness was doing damage to your heart bc you were again reminded of how much you liked this boy

initially, you thought it would just go away and never be seen again but it said

sIKe biH!

every time you saw him, youd unconsciously sweep away a stray hair and fix it to his weird crooked style

but whenever you do that, shirabu would get a close view of your face and omg you were freaking beautiful

and thats saying something from a guy who saw you through your awkward phase

hes unconsciously touching you more and showing more affection, even more than when yall were young

just being w you was emotionally exhausting as he holds himself back from doing drastic things but he was over it

he was done with all the years of pining for you so finally found the balls to do something about it

you were over at his place to study for exams and he was coming back up with juice

you were slumped over your calculus textbook with your hair in a bun and glasses on wearing his clothes

god theyre practically dating already

‘ken-chan, come help me with this’

he nods and goes to sit behind you

with his tall height, he was able to look over your shoulder and place his chin on it and tbh, you were so frustrated w the problem you didnt care about the closeness

‘you misplaced a decimal so everything got all wrong’

he mumbled

you gasped and made a noise of agreement before changing your answer

he didnt move though, instead wrapping his arms around yourwaist

‘oi, n/n’

‘hm’

this is a familiar scene

‘wanna go to the market tomorrow?’

at the mention of the market you stopped and leaned back

oh god your heart leapt at the feeling of his chest behind you but you composed quickly

‘should we?’

you turned to gauge his reaction at your closeness but he gently smiled
