in front of you
Tumblr media
pairing : oikawa tooru x gn!reader
fic notes : fluff, angst if you squint maybe, friends to lovers, lowercase intended
word count : 2.19k
from elle ! thought about oikawa tooru today, here is the result of that ;-; also, i’m a sucker for the oblivious idiots in love trope and i feel like you should know that before going into this ;-;
Tumblr media
“what is love?”
        love is being seen.
Tumblr media
it’s easy to feel invisible, especially when one of your closest friends is none other than oikawa tooru. captain of the volleyball team, steals hearts left, right, and center, great king of the court, oikawa tooru. next to him, anyone would feel a little insignificant in comparison.
every morning you hear them, the flirty giggles of his fangirls as they crowded around him in the halls. somehow, they always went to him when you were just about to enter your classroom, allowing you to hear every sweet word of praise and flattery that left their lips. it’s not that you thought oikawa didn’t deserve it, he definitely did. he is as talented as they say he was, as attractive, as charming, as wonderful. your chest just ached ever so slightly, knowing that you could never have the guts to tell him all those things yourself without becoming a blushing, stuttering mess. oikawa would’ve been able to tell the true extent of your feelings. your job — one that you shared with iwaizumi, and occasionally makki and mattsun — was to knock him down a few pegs. when he was getting a little too high off his fangirls’ compliments. 
“yn-chan!” oikawa called out before he handed you a box of chocolates over lunch period, giving out similar looking ones to iwaizumi, makki, and mattsun. “you guys can have these.”
“i guess there’s a few good things to come out of oikawa’s fan club.” makki chuckled, popping a piece of chocolate in his mouth.
you stared at the box oikawa had given you, unsure if you really wanted to accept something a fan had given him. what if they made this themselves? you couldn’t possibly take it.
“it’s okay, yn-chan. i asked them if i could share these with my friends.” oikawa said, noticing how you plainly stared at the box in your hands, “i get so many of these everyday, i can’t possibly finish all of them by myself.  ”
mattsun coughed, “great king of the court, king of the humble brag.”
“fine.” you mumbled, taking a bite of chocolate, “it’s really good, i hope you gave them a sincere thank you for this.”
“of course, i did.” he replied, holding back a grin as he watched you take another bite.
Tumblr media
what oikawa failed to mention was the box that he had given you was not from one of his fans, but one he bought you himself.
Tumblr media
you cheered as loud as your throat allowed you to, so much so that you were certain your voice was going to be gone the following day. you couldn’t help but notice the way your voice melded with the rest of the crowd as you called out for another nice serve or express a compliment on a striker’s hit. there was always something electric about watching  a volleyball game — the intensity of a long rally, the tension between teams. you practically lived for it. you knew there was a lot of things one could focus on in watching a volleyball game. your eyes could be on the spikers every time they attempted a spike, the opposing team when they make a successful block, the ball that flew past different points of the court, to different awaiting players.
though, despite all this, more often than not your gaze lands on one player in particular. oikawa was in his element, and there was nothing you loved to see more than that. layers of sweat dripped down the side of his forehead, but a small smile threatened to play on his features — the game was unbelievably close, each team fighting for match point. he was excited, but clearly eager for the game to end. 
the game ended in seijoh’s victory, with you and the rest of the crowd drowning the entire court in cheers at oikawa’s winning service ace. 
your feet seemed to have mind of its own, racing from the stands as soon as you could, eager to congratulate the team. you spot oikawa almost immediately, a grin slowly starting to spread across your face as you found yourself closer to him. but it falters when you feel someone bump against your shoulder, then another, and a couple more. they all mumbled half-hearted apologies as they headed to the same direction you did — to oikawa. soon enough, he was out of your sight. 
this happened every time, at this point, you shouldn’t even be remotely disappointed.  
you sighed, knowing there was no point in trying to break through the wall of people that surely crowded around him, and headed over to where iwaizumi was instead.
“great job today, iwa.” you smiled, holding your hand up for a high-five — which he gladly accepted, gently bringing his palm up to yours.
“thanks for cheering for us on, yn.” iwaizumi replied before tilting is head in the direction of where oikawa stood, “i’m sure shittykawa over there appreciated it too.”
your gaze lands on oikawa once more, surrounded by his adoring fans and waiting to be interviewed by eager reporters. you turned back to iwaizumi, shrugging your shoulders, “i’m just one of many voices, he probably wouldn’t even be able to tell if i actually go to your games.” 
Tumblr media
what you didn’t know was oikawa could pick out the sound of your voice from the hundreds of other ones in the crowd, looking for and zeroing in on it whenever he loses focus or needed to relax. 
Tumblr media
something had to change, that much you were sure of. you knew you couldn’t keep going like this, helplessly pining over one of your closest friends knowing that he wouldn’t even spare you a second glance. you knew you deserved someone who looked at you in the same way you looked at them. so, when a classmate of yours offers to set you up on a blind date, you felt like you had no choice but to accept. 
“you’re going on a what?”  oikawa asked, though he heard you perfectly clear. he just wanted to see if you would maybe try and take it back.
iwaizumi rolled his eyes at his obviousness, how you were unable to tell that oikawa liked you was beyond him, “a date.”
“b-but we always have movie nights on fridays.” oikawa pouted, looking at you with big, pleading eyes, “you’re betraying our sacred bond of friendship. we took an oath and everything—”
“no, we didn’t.”
oikawa huffed, crossing his arms in front of his chest, “i know that, iwa-chan. i was just trying to prove a point to yn.” 
iwaizumi couldn’t help but sigh. truthfully, he had a bit of an idea on why you were eager to go on this date anyways. still, he offered you an encouraging smile, “don’t mind him, yn. enjoy your date.”
but you didn’t, you far from enjoyed your date. mostly because you didn’t even get to experience it.
you were stood up, left waiting in a cafe for about three hours before you angrily texted your classmate that you were going home. needless to say your first attempt at getting over oikawa tooru was a complete and utter failure. you had gotten dressed up and everything, thinking that maybe — just maybe — things would finally work out in your favor. a sigh escaped your lips as you checked the time, 7 pm, you could probably still make your way to oikawa’s for movie night. muscle memory took over as you made your way to his place, practicing in your head what you could say to your friends to make your presence just a little less embarrassing; you did make a big deal of not being able to attend.
a low rumble interrupts your train of thought, just as you were about to turn the corner to oikawa’s street. it didn’t even start out as a fine drizzle, allowing you to run to your destination without getting too drenched. but no, the rain immediately fell loud and heavy — gluing your feet to the concrete in shock. 
“you’ve got to be kidding me!” you exclaimed to no one in particular, tilting your head up to the sky as soon as you realized you didn’t bring an umbrella.
“yn?”
a figure appeared a few feet in front of you, the rain making it a bit difficult to see. but that didn’t matter, you knew exactly who it was, his voice having filled your ears for most hours of the day.
“tooru.” you spoke, eyes widening as he sprinted towards you without a single moment’s hesitation, “w-what are you doing out here?” 
“i was going to the convenience store to get more snacks.” he held his umbrella over your head and pulled you closer to his side, not minding if it meant his clothes would get a little bit wet, “the better question is what are you doing? don’t you have a date?”
“i got stood up.”
“yn-chan…”
you shook your head, “please don’t say anything until we get to your house.”
safe to say your friends were more than a little shocked to find oikawa without the array of snacks they were expecting, seeing you — drenched and shivering from the rain — instead.
“you know where the dryer is, you can go take a shower too. maybe i could try and find something you can change into.” oikawa said, taking off his jacket. you nodded gratefully, making your way to the bathroom, missing the questioning looks of concern your friends gave him.
Tumblr media
“tooru!” you called out, fresh out of the shower and clothes out of the dryer, staring wide-eyed at the heap of clothes oikawa had gathered for you.
there’s footsteps coming from the hall, rushed and frantic, you hear oikawa’s panicked voice from the other side of the wall, “yn-chan! what’s wrong? are you hurt?”
“no! i’m just wondering why there are so many clothes laid out.”
“oh, uh—” oikawa rubbed the back of his neck, grateful you couldn’t see the embarrassed flush that spread across his cheeks, “i wasn’t sure what you would be comfortable in so i grabbed some of my clothes and some of my sister’s so you had multiple options—”
“are some of these your nephew’s?”
“i panicked, okay?” he exclaimed, already wanting the conversation over with, “hurry up and get dressed, we’re watching your favorite romcom tonight.”
you giggle at his flustered state, grabbing one of his hoodies from the pile of clothes on his bed, letting yourself be engulfed in his scent. your phone lights up with a text alert, a frown gracing your face once you see who it’s from. 
oikawa stood outside his bedroom door, wondering what’s taking you so long, “you done?”
“yeah.”
he opened the door to find you angrily typing away at your phone, brows furrowed as you pressed your fingers hard down on the screen. “the guy who stood me up is asking if i wanted to go out on a different day, apparently he just didn’t feel like going today.”
“i don’t know why you agreed to that date in the first place, i’m literally right here.” oikawa mumbled. he just couldn’t help himself, mad at the guy that stood you up, frustrated at himself for not telling you how he felt, always chickening out at the last minute. he didn’t mean for you to hear him. but you did.  
“w-what?” you stuttered out, your typing stopped, hand falling down to your side. your gaze fell on him, unsure if you had just heard the right thing, not wanting to get your hopes up for nothing. 
the color drains from his face, his breath getting caught in his throat, this was not how he meant for you to find out. in fact, oikawa didn’t think you’d find out all. but it had already happened, he had already slipped up. it was too late to turn back now. “why choose someone else when i’m right here?why can’t you see that? don’t you see me?”
“tooru…” you trailed off. there was a certain amount of desperation in his voice, he couldn’t even try and hide it. tears threatened to spill from his eyes, voice cracking as he asked you question after question. 
oikawa couldn’t stop himself even if he wanted to, finally voicing out the questions that had been playing in his mind the entire day. 
“why can’t you see me when i’m right in front of you?”
“i do. i just thought you didn’t see me.” you mumbled, looking down at your feet. oikawa’s eyes lit up at your words, not needing to be told twice, afraid that you would somehow take it back if he asked you to repeat. you didn’t need to, of course. despite your mumbling, he heard you loud and clear.
he chuckled softly, the sadness present in his features just a few seconds ago slowly melting away, taking long strides to close the gap between you. 
“oh, yn.” oikawa smiled, his gaze on you soft and tender. he placed a gentle hand underneath your chin, tilting your face up so your eyes could meet his, “i see nothing else but you.”

〚Karasuno at Pride 🏳️‍🌈〛
Happy Pride y'all! Thought to do a short little bunch of headcanons for the gang in celebration.
Personally, I've never been to a Pride Parade of any sorts, but I'd love to go to one sometime in the future!
Feel free to add on your own headcanons!
---
Daichi:
• He's got a bit of face paint and pride clothing
• He's designated supervisor of everyone (along with Ennoshita) because we all know how wild everyone gets
• Despite everyone giving him a headache, he's enjoying himself
• It would be nice if Suga would stop telling him to "relax and let loose" every five minutes
• Speaking of Suga,,, Daichi is very embarrassed by his boyfriend's loud singing and dancing but ooohhh boy,, if he didn't love Suga, he definitely does now
• This is kinda his first time going and it's definitely not going to be his last
Suga:
• He is having the time of his LIFE.
• You know those people decked out with pride merch? Yeah, that's Suga.
• Of course, he's also looking out for all his kids. Meaning, he's making sure they don't die or get lost. But anything else? Nope! That's Daichi's problem.
• Okay, but when someone *cough* Hinata *cough* manages to get lost, he kinda loses it and panics
• But everyone around them is super friendly and helpful and they find Hinata like,, ten minutes later with the Nekoma guys, thus saving Suga from having a heart attack
• He's been to pride a few times before, but this is his first time with the whole team
• He LOVES being there and he makes sure to show it
Asahi:
• Nishinoya made hin wear a rainbow flag as a cape
• Aaahh,, he's a bit overwhelmed by everything but he's doing his best to have fun and enjoy it
• Nishinoya being there and supporting him makes it a lot easier to endure
• Everyone being super friendly is really helpful too and he finds himself enjoying himself more than he thought he would
• He's only been to pride once before, being dragged by Suga to attend once in their second year
Nishinoya:
• He's also wearing a flag as a cape because one) it's hella cool and 2) to match Asahi
• He's going all out,, it's almost scary
• Knows all the lyrics to the songs that someone is blasting from a giant ass speaker somehow??
• He and Tanaka can and will attack any one at Pride who came to be rude and rain on the parade
• He's holding Asahi's hand for a lot of it and at one point, he got on his shoulders (he was looking for Hinata)
• He's been to Pride before with the other second years, this is his first time with everyone on the team
Tanaka:
• AN ALLY AT PRIDE
• Ehhhhh,, sorta because what the fuck?? Ennoshita is actually like,, pretty cute too??
• Woah,, he's realizing that he might not be as straight as he thinks he is and tells the team at the end of the day and everyone is very accepting and very happy for him
• Okay, but he absolutely loves it at pride and is alongside Nishinoya being as chaotic as ever
• Dude will ATTACK if he sees any kind of -phobe and nobody will stop him (Lies, Daichi will yell at him to not)
Ennoshita:
• He's got subtle pride, a little face paint and pins, but he's happy to be there
• OH! And rainbow glasses. Fucking rainbow glasses.
• He's making sure Nishinoya and Tanaka don't do anything stupid
• Speaking of Tanaka...
• Woah, what?? Tanaka comes out to them?? He might have a chance?? (He's never going to act on it though)
• He and Daichi are like the only ones there making sure everyone stays together
• He brought SNACKS! And Tanaka ate half of them on the bus ride there
• He's been to Pride before with the other second years, it was kind of a tradition for them
Kinoshita:
• Him and Narita have matching shirts because they're cheesy like that
• Keeps laughing at Nishinoya and Tanaka's usual antics
• Ennoshita does not appreciate Narita and him hanging up on him in an attempt to convince him to spill his feelings for Tanaka
• They won't give up though, just you wait
• Sings along with Nishinoya and joins in on the boyfriend hand holding
• Loves the tradition of going to Pride with the 2nd years but going with everyone is nice because there's less stress
Narita:
• He's matching with Kinoshita and everyone keeps teasing them about it
• He's doing his best to help Ennoshita out with Tanaka and Nishinoya
• Kinoshita will NOT let go of his hand and he doesn't mind that one bit
• He's taking all the pictures because he says he's gotta "document" this
• He and Kinoshita got together after a pride parade actually, so he loves going to these things with them
Kageyama:
• Subtle pride,, Hinata and Suga cornered him and painted rainbows on his cheeks
• He's got a crown on hin by the time he gets to the parade and Hinata and Nishinoya and trying to convince him to wear a flag as a cape with them
• Eventually he gives in and he does
• Pretends he doesn't want to be there at first but by the end of the day, he's loving and and being really clingy and emotional with everyone (even Tsukishima)
• He saw Aobai Josahi at one point and did a full 180° trying to avoid them, but failed because Iwazumi has no chill and never missed an opportunity to annoy Oikawa
• This was his first pride and he enjoyed it a lot more than he thought he would
Hinata:
• Decked oUT with pride,, shirt, bracelets, glasses, flags, shoes, pants, everytHING
• He's very excited about this and is literally shaking at how excited he is to be at Pride with his team
• He's like a dog really,, looking at everything, getting excited at everything, being his friendly self and making hugs
• Trying VERY hard to make Kageyama enjoy it a little bit but immediately forgets about it when he sees Kenma and takes off
• Eventually he's the reason why Karasuno, at the end of the day, is joined by literally almost all of the other schools somehow
• It was his first Pride and he loved the experience so much (he cried several times)
Tsukishima:
• He's got like,, a pin,, and that's it
• UNTIL Yamaguchi comes with a pride shirt with a dinosaur on it and now he's got that on but he zipped up his jacket
• It took a LOT of convincing on the team's part until he agreed to go with them
• He is not happy that his brother is also there with Saeko and the neighborhood association, but at LEAST they promised not to cross paths (initially)
• At one point, his glasses became those plastic rainbow ones and he had to hold onto Yamaguchi to use as a guide
• Reads homophobes and the whole lot to FILTH since Daichi doesn't let Nishinoya and Tanaka physically hurt them
• This was his first pride and he enjoyed it a lot more than he admitted/let on
Yamaguchi:
• He joined in on face painting with Hinata and got Tsukishima a Dino pride shirt
• He was a little scared of going at first, but having everyone else there was very comforting and he managed to have a LOT of fun
• He and Hinata are like actual puppies, getting excited by everything and wanting to see everything
• He does his best to get Tsukishima to lighten up a bit and it ends up working in the end (like, how could you say no to him?)
• He, Hinata, and Yachi are their own little first time at Pride trio and Suga's crying because they're so cute
• First time at Pride! He had tried to get Tsukishima to go with him before because he didn't want to go alone
Kiyoko:
• Kiyoko at pride is like a totally different person and it surprises the first years
• She's loud, super friendly, giving lots of hugs, and just being her goddess self, it's amazing
• The third years are used to this of course, the second years more or less so, but not the first years and their reactions are priceless
• She sings with Nishinoya and gets Yachi to singalong with them as well
• She's got a huge flag she made of all the flags of Karasuno stitched together that she brings
• Pride is one of her favorite things of the year and enjoys it every time they go
Yachi:
• Poor baby doesn't know what she's getting into when she agreed to go to pride with the lot of them
• Hinata gets her to paint her flags on her cheeks with him and Yamaguchi
• She spends the first half of it being nervous and stressed out about everything until Daichi reassures her that she doesn't need to worry about everyone
• So in the last half of it, she gets to enjoy herself, running around with Hinata, talking with Kiyoko, getting raised up by the first years at one point
• It was her first pride and she loved it a lot,, she ended up crying at the end of it with Hinata
Ukai & Takeda:
• Parental chaperones and their drive home
• They're the reasons why nobody dies or something because there's no way Daichi and Ennoshita can handle everyone by themselves
• They kinda stick to the back of the group, holding hands and taking the time to be cheesy and loveydovey
• They've been to several Prides before, but seeing all of them there makes Takeda tear up and cry,, making Suga, Hinata, and Yachi to cry
• Ukai gets them to stop crying by offering to buy dinner for everyone at the end

Oikawa soulmate au shared pain
Request:  🌷 with oikawa please? - anonymous 
Haikyuu is such a beautiful fandom to write for and the whole show makes me feel nostalgic of my own volleyball days *sniff* *sniff*. I hope you like it. Love yaa.💖💖💖
P.S. GOD THIS IS LONG! I got carried away and stretched it out more than intended. Sorryyyyyyy.
warnings: some angst, eventual fluff 
Tumblr media
It has always been the three of you. Iwaizumi, Oikawa and you. You went to the same middle school and later on high school, you and Oikawa lived in the same neighborhood and you even went on vacation together. You were inseparable. Attached to the hip. Being so close with someone has its benefits. You always have someone to rant to, a shoulder to cry on and they are always there to make you laugh. But this situation doesn’t lack its disadvantages. You get used to them, almost dependent of their presence and more often than not, even though they know you better than anyone, they tend to miss some signs.
That’s what had happened to you and those two. You had become dependent of one another. It was bound to happen at some point if you were being honest, you were expecting it. To say that you were in love with Tooru is an understatement. You two always had a special connection that you couldn’t place and he always confined in you and you in him. So developing feelings wasn’t a surprise. You have been stuck in this loop of pretend for about three years now, constantly wearing the mask of the caring best friend and not of the love struck fool that wanted the best for him. 
And then the pain started. Iwa was the first to notice how you would sometimes limp after one of their matches and being the good friend that he is he pointed it out to you. You would just brush it off because you had a whining Tooru being overly dramatic for his knee pain and you were the only one who could get him to walk out of the gym. There were times when you had to convince Iwa to carry him because he ‘fainted’ and wouldn’t get up. 
Iwa is an observant individual. He has seen how every time Tooru gets hurt you are in pain as well. It doesn’t take long to put two and two together. He rushed to you to share his discovery and of course you were ecstatic. Oikawa was your soulmate? The boy you were in love with already, is in reality your soulmate? The news had you in cloud 9. You were floating and you couldn’t wait to tell Tooru. To share this with him and start a new journey. Together but in a different sense this time. 
You planned to tell him the very next day, you couldn’t wait. The day dragged on and on with, making it hard for you to hold the big news in until the end of the school day. You had been kinda avoiding him as much as you could because you knew that you wouldn’t be able to control yourself and blurt it out. At last the final bell rung and you sprinted out of the class, hastily making your way to the gym. You heard Tooru’s voice behind the building and went to greet him, only to be met by the image of him kissing someone else. 
She was one of his fangirls, always present during his practices and matches and she even had went as far as to declare her ‘dips’ on Tooru a while back. Said you were in her way and that a lowly nobody wouldn’t get in the way of her dream boy. Looks like she succeeded after all. You could feel your heart break in your chest, a pain so sharp and intense you struggled to breath. That’s when you saw Tooru wince, grasping his shirt right over his heart a gasp leaving his lips as the pain became more and more unbearable. If he looked up he would see you. You knew that it would be awkward, you would be ruining the mood, but you wanted him to see you for some reason. A small revenge for the pain he was causing you right now. 
“Oikawa-channnn!!! Practice is starti- Oh...” And the Oscar goes to Y/N L/N for the role of smiling through the pain, you thought as soon as the words left your lips. He looked at you wide eyed, his mouth falling open and then snapping shut as he tried to find the words. You gave him an awkward smile, hoping to mask the tears that were forming in your eyes and backed away, turning around and leaving. 
Stupid stupid stupid! As if you were the girl he would fall for, that little voice screamed at you. Your chest was tightening again, knocking the breath out of your lungs a sob escaping your mouth as you clutched your heart trying to ease the pain. But you knew it wouldn’t work. Nothing could heal a heartbreak. Arriving home you went straight and took a shower, letting your tears run freely down your cheeks as severe sobs erupted through your chest. Walking to your room, you looked at your phone seeing some messages. 
[Iwaizumzum]
How did it go? Am I third wheeling you two now?
[Me]
You don’t have to worry about that. I didn’t tell him
[Iwaizumzum]
What!? Why?! Is it bc you realized he’s dumb? I swear he’s gonna treat you like a queen and if he doesn’t I can always hit some sense into him!!!!
[Me]
He was ...busy with someone else when I found him
Iwa thank you for the concern but I don’t feel like talking about it so can we plz forget about it?!
[Iwaizumzum]
HE WHAT!?!? SHITTYKAWA GONNA CATCH THESE HANDS WHEN I SEE HIM!
[Me]
IWA I SAID NO! 
And what do you mean when you see him? Don’t you have practice? 
[Iwaizumzum]
Yeah we do... but he wasn’t feeling well and left
Go to sleep it might help
And call me if you need anything
I’m down for a 3 am snack run if you need it
[Me]
Thank you Iwa ttyl
Turning off your phone you lay back down on your bed, fresh tears forming in the corners of your eyes. Grabbing your fluffy blanket - a gift from your boys on Christmas- you made yourself into a burrito and the crying session began again. You couldn’t see to stop, the pain in your chest coming back to hit you like a truck while your sobs were filling the room. Why did it have to hurt so much? Why did you have to fall in love with him? Why did you have to walk in on him? Why why why won’t this pain leave you alone? 
Lost in thought you didn’t hear the front door flying open or the pounding footsteps coming closer and closer to your room. Then your door opened and the person rushed to your bed, trying to untangle you from the blanket. 
“I’m not in the mood. Leave me alone.” You didn’t know who it was. Maybe your mom or your sibling. God forbid it was your father; Tooru will be as good as dead if it was your dad. They were persistent, whoever it was, wrestiling for the blanket and trying to find your head. Sitting up with a start you yanked the blanket off you head. “I said I’m not in the moo- oh...Hi Tooru.” 
He was in front of you, eyes frantic searching your face and cheeks a rosy red from the way here. Brown locks fell in his eyes and you had to hold yourself back from moving them out of the way. He had someone now, your actions had to be limited. 
“The same applies to you too. I’m not in the mood so if you please le-”
“Please stop crying. I’m- I’m sorry it’s my fault, please don’t cry.” his voice cracked at the words tears of his own were starting to form in the corners of his eyes. He lunged at you, wrapping his arms around you frame bringing you flush against him, your slight trembles vibrating into his body. “I was stupid and scared. I should have waited a little longer. I should have been more patient. Please please don’t cry I hate it when you cry! A-and I hate myself for being the reason.” His arms tightened around you not letting you pull away as you had tried when he started talking. 
You couldn’t hold your tears at this point and they were running freely down your cheeks, wetting his shirt. You couldn’t bring yourself to speak, the pain intensifying fueled by both your own pain and Oikawa’s. His arms steadied you and you hated to admit that you like it. It felt so right. Two puzzle pieces falling into place. But he wasn’t yours. With all the strength you had you pushed him off. 
“I-I’m not g-going to b-break you t-two up.” he started shaking his head, opening his mouth to speak but you cut him off. “You chose her and you can’t just throw her to the side because I’m crying! I had my chance all this time and I blew it! E-end of story.” 
“It was nothing! I’m not with her she was just a- a distraction! Y/N please I want my soulmate by my side not some random girl!” he reached for you again this time grabbing your hands bringing your palms flat on his heart. “I want the girl I fell in love with.”
With that you broke down again but this time you were the one to latch on to him wrapping both arms and legs around him, locking him in place. Your crying didn’t stop but this time it was different. This time there was no excruciating pain in your chest. You felt lighter. 
 “I love you, I love you, I love you.” he repeated over and over again, holding you as tight as possible afraid that if he didn’t you would disappear and he would be back in that dark corner of his mind. 
He spent the night at your place, never fully taking his hands away from you. He called Iwa to apologize for missing practice and then he gave his undying attention to you, repeating those three words every chance he got. You were happy his was here. Happy that you finally have him. Happy the pain stopped. Happy that he’s the reason it stopped. 
I love you

Tumblr media
Tooru Oikawa
so, the two of you are on a date at the mall
and you’re just looking around and talking, trying to find a store to go into
when your eyes land on a small girl no older than five standing outside of one of the stores.
her eyes are red, tears streaming down her face, and her small hands are clutching the hem of her shirt.
it only takes you a few seconds to realize she’s lost.
and so, while your boyfriend is busy talking about the latest alien conspiracy he read online, you head towards the girl.
you crouch down in front of her and send her a smile, attempting to calm her down.
she stares up at you, completely confused and slightly scared.
“hello, i’m y/n, it’s nice to meet you.”
once you get her calmed down enough to figure out what her parents look like,
you’re standing up, grabbing her hand and leading her off in a random direction.
it’s not until a few minutes later that you realize you left Tooru without telling him where you were going.
which means that just like this small girl beside you, you were lost.
you manage to hide your anxiety until you finally find the girl's parents, handing her over to them and smiling through their many thanks.
you’re seconds away from turning around and searching for Tooru when you hear his voice coming from somewhere behind you.
“y/n!”
the second you turn, you’re greeted with his sad eyes and pouted lips.
“why’d you leave me? were my alien theories annoying you?”
you shake your head quickly, trying to reassure him that he himself had nothing to do with you wandering off.
once you explain the situation to him, he grabs your hand, holding it tightly.
he was aware you had a bad habit of wandering off at times,
but he was never sure when it would happen.
the remainder of your time at the mall is spent with him dragging you around, never once letting go of your hand.
he refuses to let you out of his sight,
even when you insist on going to the bathroom.
and when you get home,
he forces you to sit through his lecture on why it isn’t safe for you to run off without him.
it takes weeks for him to stop following you around like a lost puppy.
Tumblr media
Kei Tsukishima
he knows full well how easily you can get lost.
he’s also aware that you have a tendency to get distracted by the smallest of things.
so, whenever you’re out with him in a crowded/semi-crowded place, he makes sure he’s holding your hand.
but, on this particular day, he was being a bit petty.
you had originally cancelled on him (you had forgotten you already had plans to hang out with Yamaguchi) and rescheduled for today
and, while he was willing to come today, he was determined to ignore your presence as much as possible.
so when you left his side to help the little boy who appeared to be lost,
he was well aware of where you were headed.
but, knowing that, he continued his stroll through the park, completely ignoring the fact that you had left him.
it didn’t take you long to find the kids parents,
mainly because there was literally no one there,
and that’s when you realized Tsukishima was no longer with you.
so you ended up roaming around the park, searching desperately for him, even going so far as to ask strangers for help.
eventually, you gave up looking for him and decided to call him,
something you should have done from the very beginning,
but your dumb self forgot phones existed.
he picked up after a few rings, purposely letting your anxiety rise like the good boyfriend he is.
and, naturally, he was 100% ready to screw with you.
“tsukki, where are you? I’ve been looking for you forever.”
“hm? oh, i left. my bad. i totally forgot we were hanging out today.”
of course, this causes you to start whining, telling him to come back so y’all can hang out.
it takes forever and a half, but he finally relents, telling you he’ll be there in a few.
but, what you don’t know is that tsukishima never actually left.
he was too worried about you getting kidnapped or something—though he’d never admit it,
so he hung out a little ways away, making sure you were always within sight.
and now, he was stuck standing there for several extra minutes just so he wouldn’t get caught.
but anyway, once he’s back by your side, your hand is almost immediately in his.
he pretends to be annoyed at first, but he secretly enjoys it.
and, even though he had his eyes on you the entire time, he still makes sure he’s in contact with some part of your body at all times so you don’t get lost again.
Tumblr media
Koutarou Bokuto
honestly?
i don’t think he let’s go of your hand
like ever.
and, on the very few occasions where he’s not holding your hand, he’s most definitely holding some part of you.
so, it’s almost impossible for either one of you to get lost when you’re with each other.
unless, of course, you get lost together.
anyway, the two of you are out and about, strolling through the store and picking up any snacks you see,
when your eyes land on a little girl.
she’s obviously lost—you would know that look anywhere
so, you grab kou by the shirt and give it a small tug.
his eyes land on the kid, and he knows exactly what you’re thinking.
and his first thought is to start making a plan.
“ok, so, i’ll go up to her and tell her i’m lost-”
“but you’re not lost, kou.”
“trust me on this one. she’ll feel better if she knows she’s not alone.
after that, you nod along, deciding it would be easiest to just agree with whatever he was saying.
once the plan was made, the two of you made your way towards the girl.
koutarou crouched down in front of her, and delivered his line, compmetely confident in himself.
he really shouldn’t have been tbh,
because next thing you know, the girls kicking him where the sun doesn’t shine and running off.
it’s then you spot a couple only a few feet away, staring at the two of you in confusion.
and it dawns on you.
the girl wasn’t lost, she was just grabbing something for her parents.
you facepalmed before turning to koutarou, who was on the ground, crying out in pain.
you watched on as he sniffles, attempting to reassure you that he was “okay” and “it didn’t really hurt”
okay, so maybe you couldn’t tell when someone was lost.
but in your defense, the girl was on her own.
once bokuto calmed down and the two of you had been kicked out of the store for being disruptive,
you headed home.
and after that, you never made the same mistake again.
well, okay, maybe once.
Tumblr media
Hajime Iwaizumi
out of all of them, i feel like he would be the one to find you almost right away.
it only took him a few seconds to realize you were gone, but by then you were already off and trying to find the kids parents.
he’s a pretty smart guy and he knows you pretty well, so it doesn’t take him long to narrow down where you could have gone.
he ends up following his instincts
which leads him to the bakery next to the shop you had previously been in.
i honestly cannot tell you how he knew where you are, but it probably had something to do with his years of practice that came with being oikawa’s mother.
seeing as how it didn’t take him long to find you, you were still with the kid and attempting to find his parents.
so, naturally, he decided to help out.
and, with his help, the two of you managed to find them in no time at all.
after you said your good byes and received your thanks, you headed off, only half listening as hajime lectured you.
it was like, suddenly, hajime had turned into an adult from Charlie Brown.
so, while he was busy lecturing you, you ended up getting lost again.
mainly because he was focused on talking and you were focused on ignoring him.
this time, though, you weren’t lured off by a child in need,
you were instead distracted by a cute little dog across the road.
once again, it only took hajime a minute to find you,
but this time, he wasn’t so keen on letting you out of his grasp.
he made sure you were holding his hand tightly, even going so far as to force you to walk in front of him.
he literally would not let you out of his sight until the two of you got home.
and even then, he was pretty much glued to your side.
he was dead set in making sure you didn’t run away from him once again.
because frankly, he wasn’t confident enough in his abilities to believe he could always find you.
that night, he made sure he held you close,
that way, if you got up for any reason, he would be able to get up too.
honestly, he probably wouldn’t stop until you got so fed up with him that you ignored him for a week.

Over Before it had Even Started 2/3
KuroDai Weekend 2018
August 31 - Day One - Getting sick / Injured
September 1 - Day Two - Affection / Dates
September 2 - Day Three - Travel
AO3
“Stop that,” Yaku swatted Kuroo’s hand away from where he had been trying to stick a finger into his sling.  His arm itched something terrible whenever he wore the more stabilizing sling that basically held his arm to his chest.  It had been nearly a month since the surgery so he had been cleared for some light workouts and he had been given the sling so he could go running without worrying about putting strain on his elbow.  “Honestly how Sawamura puts up with you is beyond me.”  Kuroo gave an exaggerated pout even as his eyes scanned the room for Sawamura.
The party was a sort of belated housewarming and a get together type reunion for most of them.  Bokuto and Azumane had been dating going on a year now and they had recently decided to live together.  Being one of Bokuto’s closet friends, Kuroo had known about the budding relationship but even he hadn’t realized it had been going that well or had gotten that serious.  It was the reason why Bokuto felt comfortable enough calling Sawamura in the first place to look after Kuroo, since Azumane and Sawamura had remained close even after graduating high school.  They had ended up working at the same construction firm for a while too.
Sawamura stood in the kitchen with Azumane, helping pour more chips into a bowl and gather more snacks.  Sawamura had looked surprised when Kuroo suggested they travel back to Tokyo together for the party, but the smile he gave Kuroo after would stay with him for a long while.
Sawamura hadn’t just stayed with Kuroo on that first day but he constantly checked up on Kuroo throughout the month while he had been recovering.  He stocked up Kuroo’s fridge and even prepared meals for him throughout the week that Kuroo just had to heat up.  Sawamura stopped by for dinner, usually bringing take out or offering to make something before they both sat on the couch and caught each other up on everything they had missed over the years, or they would watch another movie on Sawamura’s laptop.  They had gone shopping for essentials like sheets and plates, Sawamura pushing the trolley Kuroo tried to sneak unessentials into the basket, whining when Sawamura put them back.  He did let Kuroo keep the superhero themed dishes.
Kuroo had forgotten how easy things had been with Sawamura.  How conversation always came naturally, how much Kuroo enjoyed teasing Sawamura who often times gave as good as he got.  But Kuroo enjoyed learning new things about Sawamura too, like the wide array of sweaters Sawamura had acquired over the years.  He admitted it was to cover up the fact that he only owned two pairs of pants but Kuroo couldn’t help but notice that each sweater seemed to compliment something new everyday.  Kuroo’s favorite was probably the creme color one that made Sawamura’s skin look great.
It was with dismay that Kuroo realized that the old feelings weren’t only still there but they had quickly developed into a monster over the past month.  While Sawamura was dating Oikawa it was easy for Kuroo to dismiss his own feelings, he wouldn’t ever do anything to hurt his friends, but now that Sawamura was single and it had been years since Oikawa and Sawamura broke up he found it difficult to control himself.  Kuroo was a natural flirt but it became different when he did it around Sawamura but it was done with purpose, and sometimes it felt like Sawamura was flirting back.
“Hey hey hey.”  Bokuto nearly crashed into Kuroo with his usual bone-crushing hug that serves as his greeting but stopped himself just in time, which was probably for the best since Kuroo really didn’t want to explain to his doctor that he busted his stitches due to his easily excitable friend.  Instead Bokuto carefully draped his arm around Kuroo’s shoulders as if Kuroo was broken everywhere and not just his elbow.  “Did you hear about our Mori?”
“Oh ho ho?”  Kuroo smirked, easily slipping into his old role as Yaku gave them both an annoyed look.
“He’s apparently dating a model but refuses to tell anyone who they are.”  Bokuto grinned as Yaku’s face turned red.
“How did you know that?”  Yaku hissed out, looking as if he was ready to pummel the answer out of Bokuto.
“So it’s true then?”  Kuroo asked to distract Yaku from his murderous rage.  “Who do we know who is a model?”
“Shut up, you don’t know him.”  Bokuto and Kuroo cackled as they got more information as Yaku rubbed his face and groaned.
“So they are a him huh?  A male model.”  Kuroo wondered, wrapping his own arm around Bokuto’s waist to keep Bokuto from leaning too much of his substantial weight on him.
“Koutarou do you mind running downstairs to get the pizza?”  Azumane asked, coming up behind them.  Bokuto grinned as he eagerly nodded his head, leaning in to nuzzle his boyfriend, who turned bright red in response but still smiled.
“How is the new job going Yaku?  I heard you got the lead on the newest client.”  Sawamura said as Bokuto left to get the pizza.
“Always playing peacemaker.”  Kuroo said in a disapproving voice.  “Unless you know who the mystery model is?”
“I know a lot that you don’t know.”  Sawamura nudged Kuroo away so he wasn’t leering down at him before turning back to Yaku who began to discuss his new job at a law firm in Tokyo.
There were plenty of people Kuroo knew at the party and several he didn’t.  He felt a stab of guilt run through him when he realized that Oikawa wasn’t there and he had been relieved when he learned that the other man couldn’t make it.  Kuroo enjoyed being around Oikawa, which was a good thing since they were on the same national team and they spent a good majority of their time together.  As a teenager Kuroo had often joked about the Bro Code with his friends, it wasn’t something that really existed but it was just common decency not to hit on your friends ex boyfriend.  Which was relatively easy for Kuroo before he had injured himself but had become increasingly difficult the more time he spent with Sawamura.
“Pizza!  And I brought someone with me.”  Bokuto announced when he came waltzing back into the apartment.  He moved aside to reveal the national teams libero, Nishinoya who grinned and waved.  Sawamura and Azumane went over immediately to speak with him and Kuroo watched him go.
“It’s like we’re 17 all over again.”  Yaku muttered, snapping Kuroo out of his thoughts as he looked down at his friend.
“What?”  Kuroo asked intelligently, earning a grin from the shorter man.
“You do realize we’re adults now, right?  You can just ask him out.”  Yaku looked over at Sawamura just as the other man started to laugh at a story Nishinoya was telling.  Kuroo liked when Sawamura smiled so wide his eyes crinkled and a missing tooth was revealed.  “Chances are he’ll even say yes, god knows why though.”
“What do you mean?”  Kuroo snapped his attention back down at Yaku, who looked up at him in disbelief.
“Wow, can you believe there was apart of my life I actually thought you were intelligent?”  Yaku grinned before giving Kuroo a light kick.  “He likes you.  I need another beer, I’m starting to feel like a teenager again.”  Kuroo looked over at Sawamura once more.  Sawamura looked up at Kuroo and smiled when he saw he had his attention while Kuroo felt a little kick in his chest at that look.
Kuroo and Sawamura left a couple hours later, after all the beers had been finished and there was nothing left but empty bowls and a few pizza crusts.  Kuroo had stuck to water considering he wasn’t supposed to mix alcohol with the medications he was on but Sawamura had a couple.  Kuroo enjoyed tipsy-Sawamura, he laughed at most things and his tongue tended to be a little looser.  The light flush that spread over his cheeks was a nice bonus too.
“Are you sure it’s okay if I stay here?”  Sawamura asked after they had already walked into Kuroo’s apartment.  He tended to spend a lot of time not in the country so he mostly rented it out to tourists so it looked more like a hotel room than anything else.
“It’s two in the morning, where else are you going to go?”  Kuroo asked as he toed off his shoes.  Sawamura looked like he was actually thinking the question over as he reached out a hand to steady himself as he took off his own shoes.  Kuroo blinked down at the hand on his good arm and he remained still until Sawamura was done.
“I could have probably crashed at Asahi’s.”  Sawamura answered, straightening up but his hand remained curled around Kuroo’s bicep.  “Though him and Bo looked like they were getting pretty affectionate by the end of the party so maybe that wouldn’t be such a good idea.”  Sawamura gave a soft squeeze to Kuroo’s bicep, making him jump and look at a laughing Sawamura.
“Find that funny, do you?”  Kuroo asked as Sawamura continued to laugh.
“Little bit.”  Sawamura answered, his hand trailed down Kuroo’s arm until he was curling his fingers around Kuroo’s.  Kuroo looked over Sawamura, thought of Yaku’s words and put that together with everything that had been going on.
Kuroo had lost so many opportunities because he was afraid.  Afraid of losing Sawamura as a friend and then later of losing Oikawa.  He could easily pull away, lead Sawamura to the guest bedroom and they could go back to how everything was before.  Sawamura was allowing Kuroo to take that final step because he was always the one who had been pulling away.
Instead of pulling away Kuroo stepped closer, not nearly as close as he wanted to with his arm stuck between them, but then he just had to lean down and press his lips against Sawamura’s.  Sawamura’s fingers slotted between Kuroo’s, calloused and a little dry but warm.  His other hand came up to cup Kuroo’s jaw, his fingers curling into Kuroo’s hair as he tilted his head to get a better angle.
Kissing Sawamura was so much better than what he had dreamed of because it was real.  It was slightly awkward with the sling caught between their bodies and the dramatic height difference, Sawamura’s mouth tasted of cheap beer and pizza and Kuroo was sure he didn’t taste much better.  But Sawamura gave a soft exhale against Kuroo, his fingers lightly scratching against his scalp in the most delicious way.
“Sawamura.”  Kuroo said in between kisses.  “Daichi.”  He tried again, getting Sawamura’s attention this time.  “You’re not doing this because you’re drunk, are you?”  Sawamura lightly headbutted him for that but left his forehead resting against Kuroo’s.
“Three beers spread throughout four hours does not make a person drunk.”  Sawamura said, nose brushing against Kuroos.  “But if you’re worried I guess you’ll just have to kiss me in the morning and find out.”  His smile was mischievous and Kuroo had no choice but to kiss it off of him.
“Help me take this sling off.”  Kuroo requested because he wanted nothing between them and the free use of his other hand.  Sawamura looked down at the sling before sighing.
“I’ll help you take it off but after we are going to bed.”  Kuroo grinned at that and earned a pinch on his cheek for it.  “To sleep.  Don’t give me that look, you have to meet with the team doctor in six hours and I am having breakfast with Suga and Asahi.”
“Plus you haven’t even taken me out on a date yet.”  Kuroo said as he gently pulled Sawamura further into his apartment.
“Considering I’ve been cooking and getting movies for you for the past month I’d say I’ve taken you on many dates, it’s you who is slacking.”  Sawamura said with a grin that made Kuroo’s heart beat a little faster each time he saw it.
“Touche.”  Kuroo admitted.  Sawamura stopped them in the living room so he could start undoing the straps of the almost overly complicated sling.  Kuroo smiled at the care Sawamura took not to hurt him.
“There’s a festival tomorrow night.”  Sawamura mentioned almost too casually, his cheeks turning redder as he refused to look at Kuroo.  Kuroo stepped closer to the shorter man to see if he could get the blush to spread any further.  “Bo mentioned it.”
“A night festival?  How very shoujo manga of you.”  He got a glare for that one but Kuroo placed a kiss on the tip of Sawamura’s nose to pacify him.  “I hope you know I’m going to go all out.”
“What?”  Sawamura asked, eyebrows furrowing.
“Full shoujo manga.  I’m going to win you a prize, get you cotton candy that we share, we’ll go on a ferris wheel where I kiss you for the first time at the very top.”  Kuroo grinned at the thought of all of that.  It was even better when he thought of doing it with Sawamura.
“I’m going to regret this, aren’t I?”  Sawamura asked with a sigh.
The next night Sawamura and Kuroo did go to the festival together.  Due to his arm being in a sling Kuroo lost quite a bit of money and the young girl at the ring toss booth had so much pity for him she gave him a small bulbasaur plush.  Then Sawamura won Kuroo a giant stuffed tiger, Kuroo was sure he did it just to show Kuroo up but he couldn’t really find it in himself to be mad at that as he thought of the stuffed tiger always reminding him of this night.  Kuroo ended up emptying his wallet buying Sawamura food from nearly every vendor, he had forgotten what a blackhole Sawamura’s stomach was.  He refused to share his cotton candy with Kuroo too.  They did end up kissing at the top of the ferris wheel but a child with a precarious hold on their drink ended up dropping it on Kuroo on their way down.
Kuroo had never enjoyed himself more, his cheeks hurt from smiling so much and his hair was flat and sticky with soda, his arm throbbed and he had spent a huge chunk of money but he couldn’t regret a second of it.  He knew how lucky he was, that not many people were given second chances and here he was, living out his teenage fantasy of going out on a date with Sawamura Daichi.
Sawamura Daichi who laughed every time Kuroo missed the ring toss but then kissed him on the cheek so sweetly for the pokemon plush, though Kuroo was well aware that Sawamura had never seen or played pokemon in his life.  Sawamura who could easily clear out a food vendor if he was given a chance, but gave Kuroo bits and pieces of whatever he had.  Sawamura who laughed until he was practically crying when the soda spilled all over Kuroo, but who helped wipe off his face and hair and even pulled off his own sweater so Kuroo could change out of his sticky shirt and jacket.
They were leaving for Sendai late the next day, which gave Kuroo time to stop by and see his mother and Kozume for a bit.  He recounted the date play-by-play and even though his mother teased him and Kozume pretended to die of boredom at one point he could tell they were both happy for him.
Kuroo answered his phone without looking to see who was calling, thinking it was Sawamura who was coming around to say hello after he was done seeing some other friends that lived in Tokyo.  He was in his own little happy bubble while Kozume was in the bathroom and his mother was making tea for all of them.
“Hello Tetsu, is there something you forgot to tell me?”  Oikawa’s sweet-as-honey voice came over the line and Kuroo’s bubble of happiness popped at once.  “No?  Nothing?  Well then let me help.  When were you going to tell me you’re dating my ex?”
