Welcome to the Haikyuu blog familydom! I’d love a scenario of Tanaka getting his first kiss from his girlfriend! Fluffy Tanaka is so rare! Thank you!

honestlyhaikyuutrash:

Thank you fam! And YES WE NEED MORE TANAKA FLUFF OUT THERE! He
became an instant favorite of mine as soon as he walked in through the gym
haha! I hope your answered ask is okay!


The calendar on your desk seemed to be mocking you as it proudly displayed the highlighted holiday. Tomorrow was February 14th. Aka Valetine’s Day. 

You groaned out loud as you spun around in your chair. This would be the first time celebrating a holiday with Ryu and you wanted to make this one special. You weren’t so much worried about making the chocolates, but what did your boyfriend like? Or dislike? Did he like dark chocolate? Milk chocolate? Maybe he didn’t like chocolate at all! You knew you should have figured it out sooner but with Ryu being busy with his upcoming volleyball games and you with your club, time just seemed to fly by. 

Gripping your hair in frustration you decided to call the best person for advice. His sister. After dating Ryu for a couple of months, (93 days, but hey who’s counting right?) you and Saeko seemed to hit it right away when you first met her. 

“Hey Saeko!” You cheerfully greeted when she picked up your call. 

“What’s up _____! Don’t tell me my brother is causing you trouble!”

You giggled at Saeko’s question but you knew she was joking. 

“He’s not! But I actually have a question about him.” You heard a hum from Saeko and you continued on. “Does Ryu like chocolate?”

“…”

It was silent on the end for a second before you heard a burst of laughter. “You’re so adorable _____! Of course he does! I bet he’ll eat anything you give him! Ah, are you planning to make him chocolate for tomorrow?”

You felt your cheeks redden from Saeko’s comment. “He would? And yeah I’m planning to make some chocolate but I need to know what he likes…”

“He’ll be fine with whatever you plan on making him! Trust me, this little brother of mine, is just sooo in lo-”

Saeko’s sentence was soon cut off by the sound of running steps and the familiar voice of Ryu. “Is that ____?! Why is she calling you?!” 

“Because she’s sick of you!” Saeko screamed back. “She’s asking me if I know any better looking dudes than you! Now go away! Wait, let go of my phone!-”

“What?! Stop lying sis! Ugh please don’t listen to whatever she said  ______! I’ll see you in school tomorrow!” 

You laughed at the continued bickering noises from the Tanaka siblings and you decided to hang up before they could drag you into something crazy again. 
“Well, thanks for your input Saeko!” You could just picture Ryu’s face as he emitted a small gasp. 

“What?! Saeko what did you and ______ really talk about?!”

“Yeah see you _____!” Saeko replied back as she ignored Ryu’s cries. “And remember what I told you! Good luck!” 

You shut your phone but not before hearing Ryu’s frustrated groans and Saeko’s teasings. Feeling a bit better from Saeko’s input you decided to get to work.


The next morning you were scrambling to get to school because it took you so long to tie the bow onto Ryu’s gift. (Not your fault that your scissor was being annoying and wouldn’t curl the ends!) Based on Saeko’s advice you decided to make a mixture of milk, dark, and even strawberry dipped chocolates. The small red package was safely hidden in your bag as you just barely made it to first period.

“Safe!” Your friend laughed as you sat down in a hurry, avoiding the teacher’s gaze. “So, what happened with you and Tanaka?”

Taken aback from your friend’s question you could only give her a curious look. She continued on with a whisper. “He was in a bad mood today! Did you guys have a fight?”

Wait….Don’t tell me!

“We’re fine.” You calmly replied, but inside you were screaming. Ryu probably misunderstood the whole situation from last night! Knowing him, he probably believed what Saeko was saying. 

“Well, I ain’t no matchmaker but today’s Valentine’s Day! Did you make chocolates for him?”

You smirked at your friend and you gave her a sneak peek of the red package in your bag. “Of course I did!” 

You couldn’t wait until the lunch bell would ring since that would be the only time you would get to see Ryu before he would bolt off to volleyball practice at the end of the day. You smiled at your athletic boyfriend’s enthusiasm since you knew he could appear off as a rough and tough gang member, but you knew deep down he was such a goofball and a sweetheart. 

Time to seem to drag on and on and when the bell finally rang, you grabbed the red package from your bag and ran to meet Ryu by his classroom door. Thanking your friend’s good luck wishes you rushed out the classroom and made a bee-line to class 1. 

“Hey Ryu!” You greeted cheerly as you finally spotted him leaving the classroom. “Ryu?” 

Okay now you were worried. Ryu had dark circles around his eyes and he looked so troubled? You’ve never seen Ryu look so down so you decided to make a light joke. You jabbed him lightly at his sides with your elbows,“failed your english test?” 

You watched Ryu’s face slightly twist into a smile but he still looked so down. “Okay, fine Ryu. What’s wrong? Is it what Saeko said last night?”

Ryu nodded in silence and you couldn’t help but giggle at your boyfriend’s pout. “Oh come on Ryu! You know Saeko was teasing! Besides I have a small surprise for you!”

Ryu seemed to perk up at the word ‘surprise’ and snapped his head back to you. “Surprise? For me?”

You nodded in excitement and decided to drag Ryu outside. “Come on!” You laughed at Ryu’s expression turn from a frown to a smile. 

Once you were outside, you had Ryu cover his eyes with his hands. “No peeking!” You could see Ryu shaking from excitement as he waited patiently for your gift. 

“Can I see now?”

You make a small noise in agreement and held out the red package in front of Ryu’s face. “U-um, Since Valentine’s Day is today I wanted to make you something special Ryu…”

Feeling bashful from the silent Ryu you continued on. “The reason why I called your sister was because I didn’t know if you liked chocolate or not! So…I hope you’ll enjoy the-!”

Ryu cut off your rambling with a strong hug that lifted your legs of the ground. 

“R-Ryu!”

“Are you kidding me ________?” Ryu laughed as he spun you around into a circle. “Thank you _____! God I’m so stupid for believing that!”

You laughed as you watched Ryu smile even bigger. “Yeah that was pretty stupid of you Ryu.” He finally dropped you down back on the ground and carefully opened the red package. 

Ryu practically inhaled the chocolates once he peeled back the plastic and melted into a mess of content. Ryu watched you smile and he couldn’t help but wanted to share this moment with you. 

“Um…______ can I?”

You glanced at Ryu curiously but not before being shocked again when he came closer to you and placed his hands underneath your chin. 

“I-I’ve always wanted to do this _______.”

You smirked at Ryu’s shyness but he seemed to hesitate. “What did you want to do Ryu?” You cheekily asked him as you nuzzled your cheeks closer into his hands. He hesitated a bit longer before finally reaching down to plant a kiss onto your lips. 

The pressure of his lips was so delicate, a feat you never knew Ryu had until this point, but at the same time it suited Ryu. 

When you finally broke apart from Ryu, he had the look of amazement and bewilderment at the same time. “W-wow…”

You could only copy Ryu’s statement and smirked when you licked your lips and tasted the faint milk chocolate residue from his lips. 

“Hey Ryu, I wonder what dark chocolate would taste like on your lips?”

Someone needed to resuscitate Tanaka after this.

He is so adorkable I can’t even! Thank you, this was really cute!

Hey there! Can I get like scenarios of Ukai, Sugawara, and Oikawa on a first date with a female who they’ve had a crush on forever? Thanks a bunch! (╹◡╹)♡

sfw-haikyuu-nsfw:

Yeeeees! I love long term crushes that work out for the better!

Hope that you enjoy, Anon!


The nerves seemed like the only thing Ukai could focus on as he stood outside her front door with his hands shoved deep into his pant pockets. He had already spent far too long sitting in his car trying to gain the courage to finally step outside and now here he was standing before her home attempting to gather more so that he could knock.

It was pathetic, really. He was a grown man, her a grown woman; they were adults, not the teenagers they were when he first met her. So something like this, despite his long term feelings for her, shouldn’t have been as problematic as it was turning out to be.

Lifting his hand, he quickly rapped his knuckles against the wood, his heart pounding way too hard against his chest and he wasn’t sure if he was breathing anymore. The silence that ensued afterward has the loudest noise that reverberated through his ears, because what if she didn’t come to the door? What if she forgot about their date? What if she didn’t really want to go? What if–

“And I thought you were going to be late,” her voice ceased whatever thoughts were running through his head, his gaze instantly landing on her as she emerged through the doorway. A large smile stretched across her face and everything about her was simply radiant, just as it always was. “Ya know, I saw you when you pulled up and–”

“You’re beautiful,” now it was he who was interrupting, and from the expression that passed over her face upon hearing it, it was completely worth it. This was the day he had been dreaming of.


Sugawara was certain that he hadn’t stopped smiling since their date began. It was nothing fancy that he had planned, really. A picnic on the beach where they could stroll and relax as much as they wanted. A day that was filled with laughter and light brushes of fingers and red cheeks and fluttering hearts.

It was a day he was sure he was going to remember for the rest of his life.

They talked for hours there with their sand between their toes,  their gazes focused on the gentle waves that lapped over the shore. Breezes came along to ruffle their hair and deliver a slight chill that caused them to squirm closer to each other. The hyperawareness that their skin was touching felt almost childish when Suga allowed himself to dwell on it, but then he decided that he didn’t care. Because he felt childish, like a kid falling in love for the first time.

Letting his hand drop to the space between them, he left it there, purposely not drawing attention to it. And he pretended that his heart wasn’t beating as fast or as hard as it was when she reached down to lace her fingers with his own. Their gazes met and they laughed, embarrassed and  by they action.

“Thank you for today,” she spoke as she leaned her head against his shoulder, her gaze again transfixed on the sea beyond. The moment was so pristine, something straight out of a movie if Suga hadn’t been living it himself. And he desperately hoped that he didn’t wake up in the next few seconds.

“No,” he spoke softly, his thumb brushing over the skin of her knuckles, leaning to press a small kiss to the top of her head, “thank you.” Because this was the dream that she granted him, and if this dream became his life, he would be forever grateful to her, to whatever higher power there might be in the world, for allowing this to come true.


“Can I kiss you?” the question escaped from Oikawa’s lips before he even had time to process the complete thought behind it. They stood outside her door now, the setting sun lighting every feature that he found so beautiful about her. 

The heat that rose to his cheeks when she turned to look at him made him open his mouth to reconsider his words, but she was moving. Leaning towards him with her hands placing themselves on his chest just before her lips touched against his own softly. And that’s all it was, a soft touch, a simple gesture, yet it was everything that sent Oikawa’s heart into overdrive.

When she parted, he felt as though all air had disappeared from his lungs, his hands shaking at his sides with the desperate need to touch her some way, but not sure if he should or where. There was a small laugh that came from her then as she rested her hand on the knob of her front door, her smile wide and kind. “Goodnight, Tooru.”

As she pushed the door open, he was moving, his hand taking hers in order to lace their fingers together. And when she turned to look at him, question in her gaze, his other hand rose to caress the back of her neck before bringing their lips together again. A shuddering breath left him when she pressed back, lips gliding perfect against his own and he was certain that his heart was beating out of rhythm.

This time it was him that pulled away, his eyes soft on her as she stared back openly, her lips parted. “Goodnight, [First Name],” he spoke softly, the promise of seeing her again in his eyes. Because there was nothing he wanted more than to see her everyday for the remainder of his life.

Be still my heart this is BEAUTIFUL!! I love it so much!

Salty and Sweet – For @imagine-that-haikyuu

It’s my turn to return the favor of fluff for admins Rachel
Lauren and May over @imagine-that-haikyuu! I hope you gals enjoy these
drabbles and that they bring smiles to your faces!


Tsukishima Kei (for admin May) – I used the same prompt list
you did because this was perfect for Kei.

Is this for me?”

Tsukishima looks up from his place at the kitchen table,
pencil poised as he pauses to look at what you’re pointing to.

“Tch, it’s got your name on it, doesn’t it?” he scoffs
looking back down at his notes.

“Well, yeah, but, it’s the last piece and-“

“Look, if you don’t want it just say so, it’s not-“

“No!” you say empathically, taking a big bite of the cream,
berry and cake concoction. Your low moan of appreciation fills the void of
silence. “Your mom really does make the best strawberry shortcake,” you praise taking another bite as you sit in the chair nearest Kei.

He shrugs. “It’s alright I guess,” he mumbles.

You roll your eyes, taking yet another bite, but before you
can lick the cream from your lips, Kei’s own are covering them. The kiss is a
bit sloppy but sweet in more ways than one. As he pulls back, he smirks at your
shocked expression.

“I never said you didn’t have to share.”


Azume Asahi (for admin Rachel Lauren) – I took that anon’s HC
of Asahi giving up his jacket or shirt for his girlfriend. Prompt from this list.

All day the sky has threatened to unleash a fury of water
but of course it would wait to do so right when you’re exiting the bus. Running
wildly, you rush to Asahi’s door, banging hard upon the wood. Asahi whips it
open, eyes widening a bit at your soaked and disheveled state.

“Babe, geez, get in here,” he says pulling you by the hand.

“Thanks Asahi, I thought I was gonna drown standing up!”

“Go get in the shower to warm up, I’ll get some tea going,”
he advises nudging you towards the hall after pecking your cheek.

As you walk towards his room, you pop your head in to Daichi’s
giving him a quick wave hello.

“Hey ______-chan, looks like you got caught in it huh?”

You shrug. “Yeah, mother nature decided to weep on me.” You
look around curiously. “Where’s Suga?”

“Hot date, you know that boy, can’t stay away from his lady.”

You giggle, moving away to Asahi’s room. Disrobing
hurriedly, you realize you don’t have a change of clothes. Casting your eyes
about, you grab an old, worn in t-shirt of Asahi’s along
with some drawstring sweatpants.

Warmed and refreshed from your shower, you walk into the
living room where Asahi has lit a fire and has two cups of steaming tea along
with some cookies on a tray waiting for you. He turns, eyes widening and a
faint flush erupting over his cheeks.  

“Wha..what?” you ask faintly.

He holds out his hand, drawing you into a warm, tight
embrace. Against your ear he whispers, “You look good in my shirt.”

ourneverendingpossibilities:

This is a little something I wrote for Jade, @vball-baes-bball-babes . Featuring our beloved Knee-sock senpai, Kasamatsu!! It’s pure fluff, and I kind of used a sentence starter because I’m lame haha. Anyway, I hope you like this Jade!! 


“I could sit here with you forever.”

It slipped out of your mouth before you could stop yourself.. Heat rose to your cheeks, and you could feel your hand shake nervously in his own sweaty palm.. 

Oh god.. What did you say?!

While you were having your mini panic attack, Kasamatsu wasn’t doing any better, finding his lungs tight. He never thought you’d say something like that on the third date, but here you are, surprising him by saying one of the most corny things he’s heard..

And Moriyama has said some rather.. Interesting things..

He doesn’t know why his chest is tight, constricted with several emotions, but he tries not to think about it. Rather, he focuses on your palm being as shaky and nervous as his own.. And it makes him wonder..

Were you nervous?

He licks his lips, trying to find the words to say, because you weren’t looking at him, and he felt so helpless in this situation.. He was never great with women, so the fact you went on three dates with him was surprising enough.. But instead, he finds himself yanking on your hand, pulling you into his lap as the two of you stared out into the sunset..

Don’t say anything corny.. Don’t say anything –

“I could sit here with you forever too…”

If you were blushing before, you were redder now, and you felt his face hide in the crook of your neck, his hot breath ghosting over your skin.. You swallow, and you find your hand linking with his, and pulling it to your chest, resting it over your heart..

Licking your lips, you sigh, feeling a gentle smile curl on the edge of your lips.

“I didn’t know you were able to say such a thing… Kasamatsu-kun..”

You muffled your mouth when he made a squawk of some sort, before resting your head against his shoulder, inhaling the fresh air. You turned your gaze to his, realizing he was staring at you with an unknown emotion in his eyes.. 

And suddenly, you were left breathless when his mouth covered yours. 

His hand moved to lightly cup your cheek, and made the kiss so tender, you thought you’d cry. This was definitely not the Kasamatsu you were used to seeing on the basketball courts.. Or seeing beat up Kise in the halls…

There was a gentle side to him, and you were fortunate enough to see it.

He pulled back, cheeks flared and eyes slightly dilated, before letting out a soft sigh. Although it was gentle, it wasn’t enough, and you found yourself tugging on his hair before latching onto his mouth once more, trying to push closer.

Well, although he was nervous for the first two dates, the third released a side of Kasamatsu you’ve never seen before, and you were counting your lucky stars to be able to witness it.

He’s a good kisser too.

So sweet! Thank you so much, I’m smiling from ear to ear!

Their Favorite Way to Show Affection:

  • Daichi: He’s a cheeseball and will probably buy you one of those Hallmark cards that says something like, “Thinking of you…” along with a big bouquet of your favorite flowers (assuming you’re not allergic).
  • Suga: He likes to trace his fingers along your skin. Sometimes it’s mindless: you’ll be watching a movie together on the couch and suddenly his fingers are trailing up and down your arm while his eyes are still glued to the screen.
  • Asahi: He loves hugs so much. Asahi loves the warmth and closeness they provide. Sometimes he’ll get overwhelmed with emotions and lose what he was going to say, but a big hug will say everything he intended to and more.

Adorable!!! Love the Karasuno cuties!!

Maybe everything happened because of fate.

The recital hall is packed, and you’re not exaggerating when you say it literally looks like a sea of people. The traffic was hectic, which lead to your almost late arrival. You regret not being able to meet your student to give her encouragement, but thankfully her mobile was reachable just a couple of minutes ago, so you were able to cheer her on through a simple phone call. 

You’re struggling to find an empty seat—the lights are dim, making it harder for you to look for one. Eventually you see one empty seat right beside the aisle, a man sitting on the seat next to it. You walk over in a slightly faster pace than you’re used to, not wanting the seat to be taken by someone else.

“Excuse me,” you say, grabbing his attention, “is this seat taken?”

Shocking scarlet eyes look back at you in mild surprise. He looks your age, somewhere between mid- and late-twenties, though his face might pass for early-twenties instead. He’s dressed formally, like most of the people attending the recital, including you. When he speaks, his tone is professional and dignified:

“No, please.”

You smile, relieved and thankful, as you shuffle into your seat, fixing your clothes as you’re seated. You murmur your gratitude, while he replies with a simple “you’re welcome”. Realizing that there’s still at least five more minutes until the show starts, you glance at him, pondering if you should make small talk.

Before you can decide, he beats you to it.

“What brings you here today?”

“Oh,” you blink, surprised at the initiative, “it’s my student, actually. She’s performing.”

His eyes shines with interest, that much is plain to see. A small smile graces his lips.

“Really. Instrument?”

“Piano. She’s playing Schumann today.”

He hums and nods, seemingly pleased with your answer.

“And what about you?” You ask.

“My friend’s daughter is playing,” he replies, “though I came here rather late, and I couldn’t seem to find him.”

“Wow, that’s unfortunate,” you say sympathetically, “did you get caught in the traffic or something?”

“Yes,” the redhead answers, shaking his head slightly at the memory of the traffic jam he experienced earlier. Owning a luxury sedan doesn’t make life easier in Tokyo. “I didn’t expect it to be that bad.”

“Same,” you sigh, “but at least we’re here now.”

The lights are dimmed down, and the two of you gather that the recital is about to start. Amongst the minimally lit room, however, you can see that the man has extended a hand.

“Akashi,” he says, “Akashi Seijuurou.”

It takes you two seconds into the handshake to offer you your own full name upon realizing that the person next to you is the CEO to an extremely successful company.


“How did you enjoy the performance?” Akashi asks you in the middle of the applause at the closing performance. You need to lean in a little bit to hear him, and your shoulder unintentionally touches his. He doesn’t seem to notice—if he does, he doesn’t look like he minds. You, on the other hand, have to mutter a simple apology, moving away before answering his question.

“It was intriguing,” you reply, slowly stopping your own applause, “some of the pieces were interpreted differently by their respective performers. I feel refreshed.” You smile, standing up the same time as he does. It seems like Akashi is going to at least walk out of the hall with you before parting ways, and with that in mind, you tread up the stairs with him by your side, exchanging banter mostly about the recital that just ended.

The light outside is almost blinding, since it is only 4 p.m. and the sun is still shining in the desaturated blue of the winter sky. You have to squint slightly a few moments upon exiting the dim hall to adjust your eyes. Akashi, on the other hand, doesn’t seem too bothered, and you notice just how he looks three times more captivating under the late afternoon sunlight.

“Your student performed brilliantly,” he compliments, “her teacher must be excellent, as well.” When he says that, he looks at you with mirth in his eyes. Is he teasing you? You can only chuckle and bashfully look down to the ground.

“Ah, speaking of which, I need to congratulate her,” you say, looking around outside the auditorium entrance to spot your student. She must be with her parents here somewhere.

“I suppose I should also say hello to my friend,” he replies. “But before you go, ___________-san…”

You turn to look at him writing something on what looks like a business card, before he hands it to you.

“I hope you don’t mind me giving you my personal number,” Akashi says with a smile. It is somehow different compared to the other smiles he’s sent you during the short period of time you’ve got to know each other—ever enigmatic, but somehow this time it’s more… gallant

“I’d like to get to know you more, perhaps over coffee or lunch. Call me if you’re free,” he says, before spotting someone from afar—green hair and tall stature makes someone much easier to find in a crowd. 

“And that would be my friend. Until next time,

___________-san.”

You’re in a standstill, his card still in your hand as you watch him walk away to greet his friend. Until next time, huh… he’s that confident that you’re going to call him. 

You can’t say he’s wrong. 


‘Getting to know each other’ ends up happening over lunch dates instead—he picks you up at 12.30 sharp every time, drives you to a restaurant that he recommends, and you’d talk and eat for an hour. From the four lunch dates that he’s taken you to, you now know several things about him: that he knows how to play the violin, and his favorites are Bach and Brahms, and that he also knows how to play the piano (unsurprising, in your opinion). He used to play basketball in high school—you know the whole story—and you know of his family. You know that he likes tofu soup, and a bunch of other things that would take a whole day to describe.

When you see him through the window of the classroom you’re teaching in, you can’t be any more surprised. 

“Can you complete number 5 and 7, too? I will check your answers when you’re done with everything,” you tell your student, who replies with a simple “okay” before you walk to get the door, closing it once you’re out of the room. The look on Akashi’s face tells you that he’s entertained by your shocked expression.

“Akashi-san, what are you doing here?”

“Hello to you too,” Akashi says, holding out a small, simple bouquet of red tulips. Knowing him, who likes things of extravagance and class, he probably doesn’t want you to look unprofessional in your work place. 

“I thought I could pay you a surprise visit,” he continues.

“Well, you succeeded on that,” you reply, holding the flowers in your hands, “and you shouldn’t have, really.”

“I wanted to,” he smiles. You have to hold in the urge to blush.

“Thank you, they’re lovely.”

“You’re welcome.”

Silence sets in the two of you for a few seconds, and you certainly aren’t able to gauge the look on Akashi’s face while your eyes keep looking anywhere but him.

“I was wondering if you’re free for dinner tomorrow night?” Akashi asks, a casual hand in his pocket.

“Yes, I am,” you say, “are you picking me up?”

“Of course,” he replies smoothly as he flashes one of those dangerously charming smiles to you. You thought that seeing it more often for the past three weeks would make you somewhat immune to it, but his charm, if anything, gets even stronger. Or is it you who is getting weaker?  “Is seven alright?”

“Yes, that works just fine,” you say, smiling back at him. He takes your hand and kisses the back of it, like he always does before and after a date with you—you told him you thought only people in the olden days did that, and he laughed. This time, however, you don’t comment. The pink on your cheeks tell him everything he needs to know.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, then.”

You wave him goodbye as he walks away from the classroom towards the exit—the front desk must’ve told him you’re almost done with this class and let him in. You hope the other teachers weren’t around to see that… Opening the door to your classroom with the bouquet in your hands, you see your student still twirling the pencil in his hand, and when he looks up at you, he’s mildly surprised at the bunch of flowers you’ve got.

“How are we going along?”

“Sensei, was that your boyfriend?” The boy teases, grinning mischievously with curiosity in his eyes. You burst out laughing.

“He’s… someone I’ve known for a while. Now, if the question asks you to identify the tempo in

Mälzel’s Metronome—”


The dinner was splendid, even Akashi has to admit at least that. He told you beforehand that the restaurant isn’t really one you can enter without complying to a certain dresscode, which took you by surprise, but he must say that you look gorgeous with that outfit on. He just has to examine you from head to toe another time, you sitting quietly in the passenger seat of his Aston Martin, looking out the night lights of the city. 

Akashi is never one to quickly jump into things that is uncertain. He does make swift decisions, but all of them are accurate, precise, calculated, and always right. 

So when he thinks meeting you is love in first sight, that might as well be the truth.

It wasn’t all flowers and pink auras in your first meeting, that’s for sure, but he remembers exactly how it felt when his eyes met yours. There’s something different, and a voice inside him (his conscience, or his demons?) telling him that you’re different. Of course he included the possibility of being physically attracted to you, which is a very natural thing considering how appealing you are, but he’s never one to be simply allured by looks.

After various processes in his mind, he concluded that the butterflies in his stomach can only be the product of the so-called love at first sight. 

“Akashi-san, are you finally going to tell me where we’re going?” You ask, a small smile on your face. Trying to guess where he’s taking you makes it all the more exhilarating—you haven’t felt this way in a very long while.

“My home,” he answers, and before you can retaliate or question him, or think of other more suggestive possibilities, he continues. 

“I want to show you something.”


When he brings back a violin case to the living room where you’re sat, you gasp. He can only smile back, taking extreme delight in your shock.

He’s going to play for you.

And it’s not like you’ve never heard someone play the violin. You’ve been to many violin performances, the recital where the two of you met counts as one, but to have someone that is a romantic interest to perform in front of you, just the two of you

It has to be a serenade.

He elegantly holds the instrument up, his fingers delicately hovering over the strings, and as his right hand starts to move the bow across the instrument, you find yourself surprised yet again.

Liebestraum.

“Love’s Dream”, so it is called, by Liszt. It is a classic piano piece, you’ve never heard it on the violin before, but the melody sounds so enchanting when Akashi plays it. The room is quiet, and the sound of the instrument resonates so beautifully in the midst of the silence, letting you hear each and every note clearly. 

It’s his confession of love.

Akashi is deep in concentration as he plays, so when his scarlet eyes look up at you from the violin, you can’t find it in you to look away. He’ll only gaze at you for so long before returning back to playing, eyelids fluttering once in a while as his fingers dance to the theme of the song. He said that he hasn’t played for a while… did he practice for this? Visions of him playing the violin somewhere in his mansion, alone, spending an hour or two for this piece—it grips your heart so strongly.

When the main melody is repeated in a higher octave, you know that the song is about to end, but it sounds so sad and beautiful that it makes your eyes water, hand cupping your mouth to prevent whatever unelegant sound you’re about to make. The piece reaches a romantic conclusion, like the last word written in a book, or a couple exchanging sacred three words. 

Akashi exhales, puts down the instrument and looks to you to gauge reaction.

Instead of the applause he’s expecting, he sees you walking towards him and cupping his face with both hands before kissing him.

It’s something that he returns whole-heartedly, of course, for he’s sure his heart has never felt that close to bursting at the seams. The touch of your lips are initially soft and tender, but something in him decides to take more of you, and his hand moves to your waist to press you against his body. His mouth moves against yours in a passionate dance, encasing your bottom lip in his to suck on it, while he has a hand behind your head to pull you impossibly closer to him.

He wouldn’t have stopped if it weren’t for the wetness he feels against your cheek.

“You’re crying,” Akashi says after slowly pulling away, his finger wiping away the tears, only to find more of them streaming down your cheeks. You sigh helplessly before resting your face against his chest, inadvertently inhaling his scent.

“I’m sorry,” you whisper, “that was just… beautiful, I don’t know what else I can say—”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it,” he says, chuckling a little bit, and you can feel the vibrations deep in his chest. 

“I—did you—Akashi-san, how long—”

  

“Please, call me Seijuurou,” he cuts you off, patting your head lovingly in attempts to calm you down. “I shall also call you 

___________, if you wish.”

“Seijuurou,” you begin again, and he prays to heavens that you don’t catch the way his heart beats like a hammer against his ribcage when he hears you say his name, “how long did you spend practicing for this?”

“That’s a secret I can’t tell,” Akashi answers, mischief apparent in his gaze. You pout, disappointed at the answer, but you lean up to kiss him again nonetheless, this time with your arms wrapped around his shoulder. Akashi’s lips curl into a subtle smirk against the kiss, and when your mouth opens slightly as a form of invitation, he wants nothing more than to accept.

When you part, your eyes are half-lidded, and Akashi can’t decide if it’s from lust or love before he concludes that it’s both.

“Aka—Seijuurou, are we…”

“A couple?” He finishes your sentence for you when he senses you trailing off, and then dips down to your jaw, pressing open-mouthed kisses against your skin. “Yes, we are. I’d like you to be mine.”

“Mmm,” you hum in both agreement and pleasure from his treatment, “I’d like that too.”

Scarlet eyes look deep into yours, and he sees love in them just like you see love in his—it’s just a matter of time until the two of you feel right to say it out loud. For now, his violin has initiated the conversation, and you’re speaking with your eyes, with how you admire his face and how he watches your lips move as you speak. For now, the two of you will just bask in romance’s dream.

A time will come in the future when he’ll say he fell in love with you first and you had no idea, but that’s for later, Akashi decides.    

Gahhhhhhh!!!!! Beautiful, beautiful!!! He’s so romantic!!!

iv-b. i knew i loved you then

Why do you play?


Isn’t being a doctor busy enough for you?


I’d ask you to tutor my son if you weren’t so busy!


Wow, you’re very ambitious. 

Those are words spoken by housewives, small medium enterprise owners, and white-collar workers. Midorima doesn’t think that they’re somehow lower than him in any aspect—sure, they earnings are technically lesser than his, but how does that define someone as a person? He meets these people everywhere, the people that make up his community, his society: at the clinic, in parties, at the grocery store… It’s no secret that he’s seen as an outstanding person by these people. 

Twenty-seven, has the letters “M.D.” behind his name, helps people get over all sorts of sicknesses from light ones like a common cold to not-so-light ones like diabetes, plays piano as a hobby.

It’s not really surprising to the people who ask him “what do you do in your free time?” because, you know, doctors. They’re classy and smart and all. Sure they can play the piano—he can probably play the violin, too.

But you can see their eyes significantly widen when they know he has a diploma in piano, certified by the Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music. Where is that name from? The United Kingdom. Why did you take it?

He always tells them it was just for fun, but a small voice inside him knows the truth: somewhere deep in his heart, he wanted to be a pianist.


His first words to you are: “It’s a common cold.”

“That much I can see, Doctor,” you deadpan, holding a tissue against your runny nose. He sighs. 

Midorima is used to handling all sorts of patients: naggy, rude, stubborn people… he’s seen them all in the past four years of his practice. Today, however, it’s only after lunchtime and he already wants to go home already. Maybe attending Akashi’s party last night isn’t really a great idea. Sure, it’s not a DJ-inviting or dance floor grinding kind of party, so he’s not physically tired—he’s tired from all the socializing with fake people. “Meet new people,” was Akashi’s reasoning for inviting the doctor, and of course Midorima did, but none of them were enjoyable.

To be precise, he can’t tell if they’re really enjoyable or not through layers of faux talk. Akashi texted him earlier, expressing his regrets that it was somewhat an unpleasant experience for Midorima. He also wrote “but I won’t stop inviting you to these social events—I understand how you think they’re superficial, but I can guarantee you that they genuinely enjoyed your piano very much.”

Well, if there’s one thing Midorima likes about those parties, it’s that he’s presented the opportunity to play.

“As a doctor, I have to announce the diagnosis to you, don’t I?” He replies, scribbling a pen on his prescription pad. “I’m prescribing you to these basic medications, but since your cold isn’t a serious one—yet—I highly recommend that you consume home remedies before resorting to these medicines.”

“M-hmm.”

“Turmeric tea, ginger tea, a mixture of lemon, cinnamon, and honey.”

“Got it.”

“Control your diet; you don’t want to eat food that’s going to worsen your cough.”

A sound of ripping paper. He hands the slip to you.

“You don’t remember me do you?”

That takes Midorima by surprise.

“Have we met before?” He asks warily as you take the prescription paper from his hand and fold it, putting it inside your handbag. Your lips form a small smile, and Midorima eyebrows furrows.

“You sang last night, didn’t you.” It sounds like a question, but his tone makes it clear that it’s rhetorical. He knows for sure that it was you who was dragged by one of your acquaintances that claimed you to be the best singer in a ten-mile radius—the expression itself is a horrible exaggeration, but when Midorima hears you sing, he has to admit that you do have an exceptionally lovely voice.

His first words to you turns out to be “what key?” instead of an illness announcement because he was the pianist accompanying you.

“You look different, Ms. Fly Me To The Moon,” he says aloofly, writing something on a document. You chuckle at the nickname, not knowing that the stoic doctor-slash pianist has the capacity to be somewhat playful, and towards the opposite sex, nonetheless. Midorima can only admire how melodious your laugh is, even when your voice is nasally from the cold. 

“At least you remember what I sang.”

“Like I said, you look different,” he repeats. You were clad in an elegant evening gown for the party last night, and although Midorima doesn’t have the eye to identify expensive clothing brands and such, he is able to appreciate how attractive you looked in the attire. Your hair was done simply in a style that matches your dress, and among the slight make-up you applied, he notices the suppleness of your colored lips first. 

The person sitting in front of him doesn’t carry the glamour of the party—you’re slightly pale, dressed humbly in a sweater and jeans—but the lack of make-up, fancy hairdo and dress doesn’t affect how beautiful you look, in his opinion. Your eyes still glows the same captivating way as he witnessed last night.

“Yes, well,” you sigh with a smile as you stand up, “you better engrave how I look last night deep in your memory, doctor, because I’m never going to attend one of those high-end social events ever again.” The first part was sarcastically said, but Midorima finds himself doing as you told, picturing the details of your gown and hearing your singing voice echo in his mind. Being a quite introvert doesn’t mean he’s immune to any of your charms.

“Shame,” he finds himself saying. You smirk, pausing right before you walk out the door.

“What, not being able to see me all dressed up again?” Ten years ago, Midorima would’ve easily flushed red at the teasing remark. He’s way past that now, and instead of reacting like the teenage boy he was, he looks straight into your eyes when he says:

“I was talking about how it’s a shame that I won’t hear you sing again, but that too.”


Two months later what you said proves to be a blatant lie. You’re standing beside Midorima, arms hooked with his, a casual sign that the two of you are attending together, presumably as a romantic couple. This time it isn’t Akashi’s, but a business partner of his—he nevertheless invited Midorima along to provide him the audience for his piano, and regarding yourself… well, you’re accompanying the pianist. It’s not like you’re crashing this party or anything.

It’s only your third “date” with the man, so to have the opportunity to see him up-close in a formal setting that requires guests to dress up is exhilarating, to say the least. Midorima’s handsome enough in his casual attire—having to stand next to him wearing a nicely tailored, dark-colored suit while having to keep your hands to yourself is almost some sort of punishment. And the collar button of his shirt! He always buttons his shirt all the way up and wears a tie to complement the outfit, but for some unknown reason he’s left it open this time and disregarded the tie.

If you didn’t know any better, he’s trying to tease you. 

“It’s rare to find you with someone by your arm, Midorima-kun.”

“Akashi,” Midorima acknowledges the voice. You turn to meet the redhead face to face, smiling softly.

“Good evening, Akashi-san.”

“Hello, _________. Good to see you,” he replies smoothly, as you reply in a similar manner. “Even more surprising finding out that you’re with him tonight. Are you two…?”

The two of you exchange looks as if telepathically deciding who should answer, and turns out you are. 

“Sort of,” you say, and the hint of mischief in your smile cannot be missed by even the most oblivious person in the room. Akashi surely isn’t one, but thankfully he doesn’t push you further.

“It’s a long story,” Midorima chips in, as if his relationship with you bloomed out of a blackmail kind of situation of some sorts. You chuckle, and so does Akashi

—the latter is gracious enough to show the two of you to where the piano is.


“What are we?”

You are in his arms, as naked as he is, leaning your face against his chest and feeling the beat of his heart when you ask the question. It’s a summer night, and the sheets are loosely resting on your waist, the two of you too hot and sweaty from your previous activity to pull it all the way up to your neck. One of his hands is drawing soft circles with his thumb on your bare skin, while the other one that is untaped (very uncharacteristic of him, but it’s a sign of a good night) brush your hair in long, loving strokes.

He doesn’t respond. You snuggle closer into his chest, relishing the sensation of his nakedness against yours while you think of all the times you’ve spent with him. That one time you had lunch together, those meaningless parties you go to just so you can watch him play and he can hear you sing, the nights you stay together at his place. You’ve spent at least a hundred hours with him, though it doesn’t feel long or dragged—those hours are cherished and enjoyed to the fullest, arguments (petty or not) included.

But it’s his reserved nature that makes you feel insecure sometimes. Tonight is one of those nights.

You move up so that your face is right in front of his because you want to look at him in the eyes. He’s beautiful, the viridian undisturbed by the lenses of his glasses—the eyewear is carefully situated on the nightstand before all this began. You’re sure he can see you clearly from this proximity, your nose against his, your hand caressing his cheek. His hands drift down from the crown of your head to your chest, cupping your breast and playing with a nipple as his eyes grow half-lidded.

Midorima is the one to lean in first, engaging you in a chaste kiss, a perfect juxtaposition what with his hand groping your chest and the other slowly travelling down to your ass, stroking every inch of skin possible. You are the one to pull away, arms around his neck and eyes clouded with lust, thanks to the things he’s doing to your body.

“Do you love me?” The question comes out as a whisper.

“I’ll show you how much,” he answers in a heartbeat before he kisses you again, bringing your body under his. 

He never fails to convince you.


The afternoon sunrays shining through the high glass windows of the music hall are almost blinding, considering how dark it was just a few moments ago in the auditorium. You’re by Midorima’s side as per usual, looking around nervously with a bouquet of daisies and orchids in your arms. Your husband seems to be scanning the area like you are, and when you hear a shrill yell of a young child you know it’s who you’re looking for.

“Mama! Papa!”

The little girl, currently nine years old, runs towards the two of you with two or three large bouquets in her arms, the majority of her face covered by flowers. You laugh at the sight, crouching to hug her tightly once she reaches. Noises of plastic being scrunched can bother you less, as you feel your daughter burying her face against your chest. She pulls away to immediately look up at his father with bright eyes.

“Papa, how did I do?!”

“You did good, nanodayo,” he answers, a faint smile on his face as he fixes his glasses, “although there’s room for improvement in terms of arpeggiation—”

You gasp exaggeratedly, drowning the remaining of Midorima’s sentence. 

“Shiina! Papa says you did a good job! Do you know what that means??”

“No!” She replies, confused but ecstatic.

“I promised you we can go have dinner wherever you want if Papa praises you,” you reply, and the confused expression on her face melts into real unabashed excitement.

“Mama, are you serious!?” Shiina’s voice has become high-pitched from the bubbling enthusiasm that seems to have taken over her whole small body. “We can go anywhere I want!?”

“Yep,” you nod for further affirmation. “Papa has agreed on this, too,” this time you look over at Midorima, only to be amused to find the deadpan expression on his face. You give him a wink, and Midorima, witnessing his own daughter having such a great time just because you told her she can eat whatever she wants for dinner, can’t help but melt a little.

“Maji! I want Maji!”

“Sure, we’ll go to Maji tonight,” you say accommodatingly. Midorima can only smile down at the girl when she looks up at him, a face-splitting grin on her face. Even though her physical attributes are definitely inherited from him, she obviously takes after you in terms personality.

“And then I want to have ice cream after dinner! Can I, Papa? Let’s go home so I can prepare for dinner!!”

“You may, Shiina,” he sighs amusedly—what does a nine-year old kid want to do to ‘prepare for dinner’? “But before we go home you must meet Uncle Akashi first. He came to see you perform, you know.”

“Uncle Akashi is here!?” 

You chuckle. It’s a wonder how said man is viewed as intimidating and merciless among most adults dabbling in business, but is the opposite in the eyes of children. Shiina is almost obsessed with Akashi, what with his gentlemanly behavior that reminds her of Prince Charming. Shiina once even told you that since she can’t marry Papa, maybe she’ll marry Uncle Akashi instead—you have yet to tell Akashi this, but you have a feeling he already knows.

Speak of the devil, the redhead can be seen from twenty feet away thanks to his hair color, maneuvering amongst the crowd to approach your family. Shiina’s acting very much like an excited puppy, and you wonder if it’s immoral to compare the behavior of your human child to an animal (despite said animal being unbelievably cute as well), but that doesn’t matter anymore because Shiina is already in Akashi’s arms as he lifts her up in the air, chuckling amusedly.

Midorima looks at the scene with mild jealousy in his eyes—not that his eyes aren’t green in the first place.


“Mama?”

The usually animated voice of your daughter is now tired and soft as you tuck her in. She must’ve been exhausted after the performance.

“Yes, honey?”

“Can you tell me a bedtime story?” This piques your interest a little, because she’s stopped asking for stories before bed for almost a year now.

“Sure. What would you like to hear?” 

“The other day… Mai-chan and Reika-chan were talking about how their parents met and fell in love,” she says shyly, hiding her face behind a beloved doll. “Can you please tell me how you and Papa met, Mama? You’ve never told me that story before.”

You chuckle.

“You’re gonna have to ask Papa for that, honey. It’s a long story anyways, and you’re tired. Best go to sleep soon.”

“Okay…” Shiina says, and it’s not hard to pick up the disappointment in her voice.

“Goodnight honey,” you kiss her cheek before turning off the lights.

“’Night, Mama.”


Truth be told, there is no ‘long story’. Midorima just called you one day to ask you out for coffee with a tinge of nervousness in his voice that you can spot even from the other side of the line. You ended up scheduling a lunch instead, and if Shiina asks him to tell her how you fell in love with each other, he’ll have no explanation except of how breathtakingly beautiful you look with sunshine on your skin and a smile on your face as you talk about music and food and the stars. 

He will ask Shiina to keep it a secret from you, of course, because if you know he’s been in love with you for that long, he knows you’re never going to let it go.

OMG my face hurts from smiling and I don’t even care! I had to hold back squeals so I didn’t wake my husband. I LOVE the way you write adult Midorima! This whole piece is beautiful!

Fluff responses for Sweetheart Saturday

haiykuties:

*Cracks knuckles* Let’s.get.fluffy!

(Some are short, some are long but all are fluffy, I hope you all enjoy! I had so much fun putting these together!)

Cooking for Tanaka / Feeding Asahi

Tanaka

From the moment he walks in the door Tanaka’s mouth is watering. “Babe, what’re you making?” he hollers while slipping out of his shoes.

“Just simple stir-fry and rice,” you call back, jumping slightly when you feel hands on your waist. For someone so loud, Ryu certainly knows how to sneak up on you when he wants.

He nuzzles his nose in the crook of your neck making you giggle. “There’s something else, what’re you hiding?” he asks tickling your sides.

Squirming, you smack his hand playfully. “Spoil sport,” you grumble but there’s no ire to your tone. Turning your head to look at his face you smile. “I also have melon pan baking.”

He releases you to jump back, pumping his fist in the air. “Yes! My girlfriend is a freaking goddess!” He grabs his phone, taking a picture of you cooking and posts it to his Instagram, tagging Noya and Asahi, the caption reading: My girlfriend cooks for me, I’m the luckiest guy in the world!

Asahi

Worn from a long practice and frustrated that his spikes weren’t as good as he preferred, Asahi flops onto the couch, a deep sigh pulling from his lips.

“Asahi, baby, is that you?” he hears called from the kitchen.

“Yeah,” he answers through a yawn.

Your head pops between the threshold, eyes furrowed in concern. Usually he at least gives you a kiss on the cheek or something. When you see his posture, you know today was a rough one. Taking a deep breath, you head back in the kitchen, gather his meal and walk it out on a tray.

Asahi is so lost in self deprecating thoughts he doesn’t notice you until you’re siding astride his lap. “Wha…oh hey lovie. Sorry, I’m just- ufm!” His apologies and explanation are silenced by a piece of sushi. As he begins to chew, Asahi finally looks at what’s in front of him: a platter of homemade sushi and glasses of cool lemon grass tea. Swallowing, he chuckles, “Not that I don’t appreciate it but what’s the occasion?”

“Does there have to be one?” He watches you pick up another piece, this time without chopsticks, blushing as you place it in front of his lips. You lock eyes and nod, prompting him to open up and accept the offered food. “You had a rough day, baby, I can tell, so let me take care of you.”

Asahi nods, taking a long drink of the tea, then leans forward to kiss you. Pulling back he whispers, “You know dessert has always been my favorite.”

Kenma coffee and apple pie at home date playing Overwatch and cuddling

Dating for Kenma has been…interesting. He’s tried, valiantly in his opinion, to make sure to take you out as frequently as his reclusive nature will allow. It doesn’t help that Kuroo teased him about “hiding you away” or questioning if he was hiding the relationship for some reason. And though he knows his best friend is only jesting, his insecurity about his ability to make you happy flared up something fierce.

But if he’s honest, he’s exhausted and of course it would have to be today of all days that his want…no…his need to stay indoors away from the world has reached a fever pitch.

And it’s your anniversary.

Walking up to your door, clad in simple jeans and a t-shirt with his favorite video game character on it that you gave him for his birthday, he presses his finger to the doorbell.

After a moment, you open the door and just as he’s about to greet you he’s overwhelmed by the smell of hot apples, cinnamon and…coffee?

“Kozume-kun!” you exclaim, throwing the door all the way open to draw him inside.

“He…hey,” he replies, arms wrapping around your waist after a second’s hesitation. He’s still not used to touching you so intimately even after a year.

“Take off your shoes and get comfortable,” you assert, nodding to the couch.

Following the trail of your eyes, his own widen as the sight of a simple sandwich dinner coupled with his favorite chips and a few other snacks come into view. On the TV, the title screen for Overwatch loops.

He looks at you, relief evident on his face. “Go on,” you insist with a big smile. He nods a few times, heading to the couch as directed while you retrieve drinks from the fridge. While playing, both of you consume the simple meal you constructed (including the delicious homemade apple pie) before you lean against one arm of the couch, drawing Kenma between your legs to wrap all your limbs around him.

Planting a kiss on the side of his neck you whisper, “Happy anniversary.”

He pauses the game, sets the controller down and turns, planting a long but sweet kiss to your lips. When he pulls back he whispers back, “I love you.”

Bokuto hugs and snuggles

Bokuto can tell the moment you walk in his room that something’s wrong. “Babe, hey, what’s going on?” he asks setting down his pencil and standing up.

You shrug, eyes cast to the floor. “I…I don’t know…I guess I’m just,” you take in a deep breath. “I’m lonely,” you confess, words barely above a whisper.

Guilt strikes Bokuto like a punch to the gut. He knows he’s been busy, focused not only on practice but the need to stay on top of his grades and get ready for college entrance exams. It’s his hope to earn a scholarship but the best laid plans and all that. But now is not the time for self-deprecation or putting himself in a place where he needs you to draw him back up again. He needs to be strong.

You start when he draws you close in a quick firm embrace, face nuzzling into your hair. “I’m sorry,” he offers, pecking your cheek. You clutch to his shirt, knuckles nestled against his firm back and take a deep breath. He smells faintly of coconut oil. Strong arms lift you easily, carrying you to the bed where he lays on his back, nestling you on top of him.

Idly he draws patterns on your back, the sensation of his touch drawing goosebumps to the surface. His other hand twirls a piece of your hair as he asks, “What do you want to do?”

“This,” you reply, smothering your face against his chest and his deep chuckle makes you smile.

You spend the rest of the night talking about everything and nothing and falling just a little bit more in love with each other.

Cuddling on the couch with Inuoka watching Studio Ghibli

“Ugh, I hate this part,” you whine, turning away from the screen to hide your face against Inuoka’s chest. His laugh is bright as he wraps his arms around your back.

“Sweetie, you’ve seen this movie, what, like 10 times? You know it’s coming,” he teases.

“Yes, but it’s still scary,” you complain, eyes refusing to watch as “No face” chases the main heroine through the bathhouse halls.

He laughs again, a bit softer this time but tightens his embrace and plants a kiss to the top of your head. “Well, you know I’m always here to protect you.”

Tendou as wingman for Ushijima, Ushijima as big sweetheart

“So, which one do you want?” Tendou asks casting his eyes around the bar. Ushijima looks about, expression neutral and shrugs making the red head sigh. “Dude, as your best buddy it is my job to ensure your college experience is not boring. Now, pick one!”

Roaming his eyes over the room, Ushijima shrugs again. Tendou takes a deep breath. “Look, I’m gonna get us some beers, maybe a bit of alcohol will loosen you up. Just stay put.”

Nodding once, Ushijima watches his friend go. A moment later, he’s startled as someone plows into him, almost sending his chair toppling over. Looking up he’s met with wide eyes full of apprehension.

“I…I’m sorry, I…I wasn’t watching and-”

You cast a look over your shoulder, gasping when your ex-boyfriend makes a beeline for you. Without thinking, Ushijima pulls you on to his lap, your startled gasp lost in the din of the patrons around you. The volleyball ace locks eyes with the approaching male, daring him to continue his advance. You see your ex falter, torn between anger and fear but fear wins out and he back peddles, getting swallowed by the crowd a moment later.

“Thank you,” you breathe turning to look at your rescuer.

“No problem,” he replies.

“I’m _______,” you offer, extending a shaky hand to him.

He takes it, shaking once before supplying, “Ushijima Wakatoshi.”

Just as you’re about to get up you hear from behind, “Geez and here I thought you needed help.”

Looking over your shoulder, you’re startled to see a second male, also tall but with fire red hair holding two beers and an incredulous look on his face. Flushing brightly, you’re just about to offer explanations when he sets down his burden, casting a, “Have fun, Toshi,” over his shoulder before he too disappears amongst the throng of people.

A hand settles on your waist, drawing your attention back to Ushijima-san. “So, ______,” he begins, picking up one of the beers and handing it to you, “do you go to school around here?”

Still slightly stunned by this turn of events, you entirely forget that you’re still sitting upon the lap of a stranger, but the longer you talk and he listens, offering small commentary here and there, the less he feels like one.

Nose kisses, tickling, watching shitty horror movies, cuddling, baking with Kuroo

“What time are the guys getting here again?” you ask, arm tiring as the batter you’re stirring begins to thicken.

Kuroo’s long arms wrap around you, hands extracting the bowl and spoon to take over your burden. Leaning down, his breath against your neck makes you shiver as he replies, “Two hours, so stop worrying. Everything will be fine. Why are you so stressed about this?”

You pout, looking over your shoulder. “I’m not stressed, I just want everything to be perfect. This is my first time meeting them and they’re important to you and what if they don’t like me and-Kuroo!”

His hands tickling your ribcage effectively cut off your worrywart rambles. Skirting under his arm, you try to get away but his supremely long limbs make catching up to you easy. He’s back to tickling you, your laughter increasing to a pitched whine the longer he goes. He only stops when you’re practically breathless, body slacking against his when you realize he really intends to stop.

Tilting up your chin, his nose nuzzles yours. “They’ll love you,” he assures replacing his nose with his lips to peck you lightly.

A couple hours later finds you and the entirety of the Nekoma volleyball team ensconced in chairs, couches and the floor of Kuroo’s living room, all of you spluttering and making commentary at the horrid horror movie he picked to watch.

“Could this be any cheesier?” Yaku complains stuffing his mouth with popcorn.

“You know you love it,” chides his captain flinging said snack at his head.

You snicker, extracting yourself from Kuroo’s side to get more drinks. As you re-enter the room you hear Yamamoto say, “________’s amazing! You’re such a lucky bastard, Kuroo-san!”

From over his shoulder Kuroo smirks at you. “I know,” he replies with a wink.

 

HUGE spine cracking hug from Iwaizumi (lol)

Bouncing on the balls of your feet, you scan the crowds eagerly. The week has gone by so slowly, each day feeling like a week within itself since Hajime left for training camp.

“_______, over here!” His deep voice carries over the hum of travelers and you shoot your eyes in the direction of its origin.

Rushing forward, you push through throngs of people. When your eyes land on him, you suck in a breath. You know it’s not possible, but his arms look bigger than you remember. Without pause, you launch yourself into those arms, arms you’ve craved, arms you’ve dreamt about.

He squeezes tightly, face buried against your neck.

*Crack* You gasp slightly, relief flooding your body but Hajime almost drops you in his distress. “Was that your back? Oh my god, did I hurt you? Are you ok?” he shouts, so overcome with worry that he forgets your ear is right next to his mouth.

“I’ve been trying to get that spot all week,” you reply, kissing him.

Iwaizumi is so lost in the sensation of your mouth that he doesn’t even hear Oikawa teasing him for being indecent in public. Or rather, he hears him, he just doesn’t give a shit.

Holding hands with Akaashi

Despite the coolness of the theatre, you’re sweating bullets. And it’s not because of the action movie in front of you, quite frankly you’re glad that Bokuto chose one with such a simple plot because if anyone were to ask you what happened in the last hour and fifteen minutes you wouldn’t be able to form an intelligible answer.

No, the reason you’ve got a racing pulse and sweaty palms is because he’s right next to you. He being the most beautiful boy you’ve ever met. Sure, it’s not common to affirm males as beautiful but he is! From his slightly tousled hair to his natural bedroom eyes, just one glance from him sends your heart into overdrive.

Hence, the minor panic attack ensuing at just the brush of his pinky finger against yours. It was an innocent mistake, both of you reaching for popcorn from the ginormous bucket Bokuto ordered to share with everyone.

But the contact felt electric and left you craving more.

Unconsciously, you rub your hands against your jeans again, dispelling sweat and butter from your skin, the latter no doubt staining the material but you don’t care about that right now. All you can think about is him, his breathing, his scent, his hand-

Which is now gripping yours. Shooting your eyes up to his face, you’re startled to see him looking right at you. “You’re going to rub your skin raw,” he whispers, thumb tracing gently over the palm of your hand. “Better let me keep at least one of them safe,” he concludes, turning his head to face the screen once more, sly smile teasing his lips.

As you settle down, you take time to revel in the appreciation that what you always suspected is right; his hands are so soft.

Baking, cuddles and Disney movies with with Aone

*Ding* The sound of your kitchen timer peals out cheerily.

“Oooo, they’re ready!” you squeal, rushing to the oven and opening its door. From within a warm, mouthwatering scent of wafts out. Grabbing hot pads, you carefully extract the sheet filled with oozing, triple chocolate chunk cookies. From behind, you hear the fridge door open and cast a quick glance at Aone pulling out the pitcher of milk before reaching up and grabbing two tall glasses from the cupboard.

Eager to try your new recipe, you set down the tray, quickly setting one cookie after the other on the cooling rack, though you know more than likely you’ll still end up burning your tongue.

Aone makes his way to the living room, setting down your drinks just as you reach him, a platter piled high with the delectable treats joining their natural accompaniment.

“Did you pick one?” you ask looking up at Aone’s face.

Nodding once, he flicks on the TV, the title screen for Wreck-It-Ralph pops up.

“Ooooo, I haven’t seen this one yet,” you exclaim, happily tucking your feet under yourself on the couch and taking a bite of cookie. It’s ooey, gooey and oh so delicious that you moan in appreciation, the sound drawing a faint flush to Aone’s cheeks. He ignores it, sitting down a little away from you before reaching for a cookie as well. Your hand upon his stops him, his face turning to look at you with slight confusion.

“Here,” you offer, holding out the bitten cookie. Blush intensifying, the gentle giant leans forward, taking a small bite. His eyes grow wide. “Good?” you ask and he nods rapidly.

“Don’t sit so far away,” you grumble, practically climbing into his lap. It makes eating the cookies and milk a bit awkward, but Aone wouldn’t trade having you in his embrace for anything.

Asahi walks in on s/o dancing and singing in underwear and baggy tee

A swivel here, a pop there, your hips move to the beat pulsing in your earbuds as you dance about in blissful ignorance to the fact that Asahi is currently having a minor heart attack watching you. He knows it’s wrong, knows he should look away but how can he when your legs are so exposed and your body is moving so sensuously and…good god he’s going to get a nose bleed if he doesn’t stop staring right now!

Throwing a glance over your shoulder, you wink and crook your finger in a “come hither” motion. Ok, so maybe you weren’t so unaware that he was there. Maybe you timed it perfectly for his entrance into your room and maybe, just maybe, you wanted him to see you.

He swallows thickly, pulse beating in his ears almost as loudly as the tunes in yours.

“Come on, Asahi-san,” you coo, “dance with me.”

Lev giving his s/o stuffed animals “so you don’t miss me when I’m gone”

“I’ll call you every night,” Lev’s says stuffing two more pairs of shorts and three shirts haphazardly in his bag. He rushes to the bathroom to grab his toothpaste and brush. “And I’ll text you after every win,” he calls.

Snapping his fingers, he dives into his closet, throwing items this way and that. “Now where did I…ah ha!” he exclaims, long lithe body standing to his full height once more.

As he turns, into view comes a stuffed kitten, black with green eyes. Placing it in your hands, his own grasp your shoulders and he looks in your eyes. “For snuggling with while I’m not here, so you don’t miss me while I’m gone.”

You smile, tilting up on tiptoes to plant a peck on his lips. Taking his hand, you walk with him to the school, the rest of the team waving as the two of you arrive. Lev envelopes you in a long, tight hug, your feet dangling. “I’ll see you in a week,” he says kissing you one last time.

Later than night, as he’s preparing for bed, he’s surprised to find a teddy bear nestled under his clothes. Drawing it out, he hugs it, pleased to find you’ve sprayed his favorite perfume that you only wear for him on it. Taking in a deep breath, he smiles at your note: “So you don’t miss me while you’re gone.”

He does, he misses you every minute, but when he lays down, bear tucked under his arm, the sting of you not being here is a little less and he sleeps easy every night.  

Sneaking up behind and pouncing for rainy day cuddles with Hinata

The rain beats against the window which fogs as your breath hits it. It’s been raining for days on end, the sun refusing to shine. Normally you enjoy this weather, but something about today is drawing up your melancholy.

A creaking floorboard is all the warning you receive before Hinata springs, body landing upon your back and lips descending on your cheek. “_______!” he exclaims and you can’t help giggling when he tickles your neck with his hair.

“Come cuddle with me,” he says happily and you nod, allowing yourself to be drawn to the loveseat, the storm now a comforting background as Hinata’s warmth envelopes your entire being.

You were wrong, the sun did show up today.

Cuddles with Suga

The blaring of your alarm makes you groan. Why does he have to get up so damn early? Rolling over, you slam a hand to the snooze button, mumbling something about starting breakfast but before you can get up, Suga pulls you into his arms.

“Five more minutes,” he mumbles against your back.

“Koushi-kun, you’ll be late and you know how those boys are. Especially Daichi.”

His grip tightens, lips pressing delicate kisses to your skin making it hum. “They can start without me, I’m not letting you go. Besides, that’s the beauty of having two coaches. One of us can be late if we need.” He rolls closer, leg draping over your hips. “Or if we just choose to.”

You sigh dramatically but smile, hands settling over his and squeezing as your eyes close once more, content to lay in the arms of your love for as long as he wants. 


I’m dying squirtle

All this fluff is just so cute okay

I’m just….so happy

~Admin Kay (#*cries*)

Fluffy fluff I put together based on confessions and head canons over at @haiykuties Sweetheart Saturday event! A nice pause from writing bad boys! Enjoy!

Tendou meets his fem s/o at candy shop where he jobs! Or occasionally he just surprise her with some sweets (maybe on her desk or something like that). You choose! :3

sfw-haikyuu-nsfw:

Freaking, I love this so much, Anon! And all I can think of is that song Candy Man by Christina Aguilera! But I just love the image of Tendou working in a candy shop and helping little kids pick out their favorite sweets! ADORBS.

Enjoy, Anon!


There was a part of him that felt ridiculous, but then there was also the part of him that couldn’t have thought of a better way of expressing how he felt about her. Especially when Tendou thought back to the very first time he saw her; the bells of the shop jingling cuing his response of a greeting despite not having laid eyes on her yet. And he wouldn’t until she approached him with questions as to the whereabouts of a particular kind of lollipop.

Falling in love at first sight had always been such a joke to him; that was until his eyes met with hers. With his heart beating hard against his chest, he was hardly aware of how his body kicked in to autopilot in order to answer her request. There was more he wanted to say to her, but what could he say to a stranger that was also a customer in the store he was working at?

He considered it to be a sign of fate when he witnessed her walking through the halls of his own school the following day. Stopping in the hallway and smacking Ushijima in the chest had been a subconscious action, he didn’t even know how to describe it when he was questioned about it later. All he knew was that the fluttering in his stomach could surely not be ignored.

And maybe it was a stupid idea, but Tendou had finally convinced himself that it was good enough. With a little help from some ribbon, glue, and Semi’s critiquing, he was able to piece together a bouquet of lollipops – the same ones she had been looking for. A note, which he found himself staying up most of the night rewriting, clung to a single stem. The final touches set into place by shaking hands just before walking onto campus with it.

Placing it on her desk was a completely different feat all in itself. And considering he had been standing outside the door of her classroom far longer than he should’ve been, he wondered if she was going to see it at all. It had been a stupid idea after–

“How adorable,” the voice caused him to turn, lollipop bouquet shoved roughly against his own chest as his heart beat wildly. This had not been part of the plan. She was not supposed to see him with it before seeing it herself. “Who are they for?”

“You,” he answered quickly, still holding them tightly against his own body. When he felt the heat rising to his cheeks, he pushed them out towards her next, throat working around what to say next, “for you.”

Watching as her hands reached forward, fingers brushing against his own as they swapped grasps, the smile that spread wide across her face was worth every worry that had settled in his belly. And when her glittering eyes met with his, soft words of ‘thank you’ on her lips, he knew that whatever feelings he had towards her would always be worth it.

This is some of the best Tendou fluff I’ve ever read! So, so cute!!

This ask was so pure I’m blessed… T/W for mentions of self harm


Lazy Saturday mornings were always Tendou’s favorite. It wasn’t that he was necessarily lazy himself, but the euphoric feeling of not having to wake up, take four shots of espresso, and finish three reports he had procrastinated on for two weeks on was an amazing change. Well, maybe Tendou was a bit lazy.

Tendou didn’t even feel like moving from his small space on the bed. He took lethargic interest with the way the sun cast through the blinds and how Mourning Doves vied for attention. He could roll over and fall back asleep, if he wanted to. Though, he was right on the edge of the bed and his girlfriend was still asleep on his chest, and he’d rather take a bullet than risk waking her up. He yawned, then noticed her stir for a moment before nuzzling back into him. At this point, Tendou was willing to stop breathing. She looked so peaceful, and Tendou couldn’t quite remember the last time he had actually seen __ with her eyes closed. She still harbored remarkable purple eye bags, though, to which Tendou made a mental note to tease her about later.

After about twenty minutes or so, Tendou didn’t oppose the idea of waking her up so much any longer. His mind wandered to places he’d rather not go when he wasn’t occupied with something. He figured he could just leave the bed and do something in the living room, but he knew for a fact the rest of the apartment would be absolutely freezing; February did not treat them nice. He slowly turned to his side instead, cupping her head in his hand and placing her down on the pillow next to him. She whined and burrowed herself in the duvet, still asleep, but gaining conscious. Tendou smirked, tugged the duvet out of her loosened hands and flipped her onto her back. He sat up and positioned himself above her and threw one leg over her side. He leaned down and pressed his lips against her neck softly, going in for a kiss, but decided against it. Instead he blew, hard, right against the part of her neck he knew was the most sensitive.

Almost immediately, she was up and screaming, her hands on his shoulders attempting to pull him away. He smirked and continued blowing raspberries, effortlessly grabbing her arms and pinning them above her head. She writhed undrneath him, giggling incomprehensible words and attempting to kick him off of her. Usually, she’d have him flat on his ass in the matter of thirty seconds, but catching him at her most delirious gave him a definite advantage. After a while, he figured he had tortured her enough, her chest still heaving and a long, drawled out cuss spilling from her lips. He cut himself off with a wet smack to the red spot on her neck, which instantaneously quieted her down, too. She was completely awake, now, and able to rip her arms away from his and sit up. She merely looked him in the eyes, saying nothing. She used the fabric of the duvet to wipe his saliva from her neck, to which she grimaced, not noticeably, but Tendou noticed.

“You know, Satori, sweetheart…” __ sniffled in a broken voice. “For someone who pays all your damn rent, that was sure a lovely way to thank me.” Tendou smiled sheepishly, looking down at her from his seat between her legs.

“Not gonna say anything? Okay…” She shook her head and smiled, stretching her arms behind her head and cracking her back before snaking them around Tendou’s neck. “You’re so lucky I love you.”

“I know I am.” Tendou hummed, cupping her chin. She flinched, making sure he wasn’t going back for her neck again, before leaning into his touch.

“Now you’ve got something to say, huh?” She chuckled. She grabbed his hips and guided him off of her, leaving him laying on his back as she sat cross legged, rubbing her eyes. “If this thing is still here when I go to work on Monday and my boss asks me what it is, I dunno if I tell him the truth or make up a much more believable lie.”

“What’s so unbelievable about raspberries?” Tendou laughed.

“We’re twenty, that’s what.”

She finished rubbing her eyes and rolled herself on top of him, straddling his waist as he had hers seconds ago. Absentmindedly, she traced the skin on his bare chest, and Tendou thought she was either incredibly amused with how his skin felt or she was still in a sleepy haze. He didn’t mind though, watching her with a lovestruck grin on his face. He watched her as she slid her hand across his chest to his shoulders, and her fingertips taking sudden interest with his freckles.

“You know what I’ve always found odd?” She said, her pointer finger drawing triangles into his skin, presumably a shape his freckles had made.

“Hm?”

“You’ve got freckles everywhere, except your face.”

“Oh please, don’t say that’s odd.” Tendou snorted. The way her fingertips were running across his shoulders and chest made him sigh, suddenly. “Do you know how much more shit I would’ve gotten from people?”

“Aw darling, don’t say that.” __ cooed, scooting herself back on his lap to kiss at his shoulders.

“I kno-ow.”

“Anyways, I dunno about you, but I think the freckles are gorgeous. They add to your dorky charm.” Tendou shook his head, the silly smile on his face growing wider. He had to bite his lip to contain it. She traced the freckles on his chest and stomach next, drawing shapes and what he could only presume was constellations, the only time she stopped was to mutter, “that looks like a jellyfish”, as she traced a cluster of freckles on his stomach. Tendou didn’t really care what his freckles looked like, all he could focus on was her. Every time she ran her fingertips across his skin a jolt ran up his spine, because even after years of her touch, he was still starved for it. He found himself absentmindedly closing his eyes, even if he was trying so hard to focus on the beautiful little amused smile on her face. Tendou gave into the heaviness of his eyes and chuckled, he was absolutely living. His eyes fluttered back open when __ started fingering with the elastic of his boxers, pulling them down slightly to reveal his hips.

“Satori, darling.” Her fingertips traced gently over the puffy lines on his hip. “How did you get these?”

With anyone else, Tendou would’ve been a nervous wreck discussing the scars on his body, but with her, he couldn’t feel more sane.

“I put ‘em there myself.”

She frowned, but didn’t stop brushing her fingers over them.

“How come I’ve never noticed these?” She frowned, taking the other side of his boxers and pulling them down completely, sliding them off his legs and throwing it to the edge of the bed. “You’ve got a lot, huh?”

Her fingertips moved from his hips to his upper thighs, rubbing at similar puffy scars. Tendou just watched her stare at them, the admiration her eyes once held, gone. The love hadn’t fled, though. In fact, Tendou swore he could see it more.

“I never really pointed them out ‘cause there was no need to.” Tendou shrugged, meeting her eyes. “It’s all in the past. I really don’t feel like that anymore, you know.”

“I know.” Her eyes flickered from his back down to the scars on his thighs. “Can I? Can I, uh…” She shifted himself so that she was face level with his thighs, and ever so softly, pressed a gentle kiss against the scarred areas. He gasped, not out of fear or disgust, but out of pure and utter shock.

Ba-abe.” Tendou whined, throwing his hands up to his cheeks. “My heart’s gonna explode.”

She looked up at him, mouth agape, before pouting, and pecking another series of kisses along his right thigh. Although Tendou was used to the proximity between her and him, this entire gesture made his heart beat rapidly in his chest. When she shifted her weight and nuzzled into his other thigh, Tendou swore he giggled. He covered his mouth and cheeks with his hand, the latter burning furiously. He did this until she traced a trail of kisses up his stomach and pulled herself up completely, moving his hand away from his mouth herself. She then kissed his lips, short and sweet, before pulling him into a hug.

“I love you.” Tendou muttered into the tresses of her hair in his face.

“I love you too, my perfect angel.”

She gave him one last squeeze before sliding back on the bed. She sat cross legged by his knees, patting on her legs to signal him to kick his up onto hers. He did, careful not to force his weight on her too hard. She then took one of his legs in her hands, running her fingertips up his calves.

“I love how even your leg hair is ginger, wow.” She chuckled, sarcastically. “Makes it easy to see your pale ass skin, though.”

“It’s hard to imagine just two fucking seconds ago you called me your perfect angel, wow.” Tendou mocked her, lightly kicking her in the chest. She laughed, tightening her grip on his calf. He laughed with her.

She continued with her soft touches for a while, sending Tendou back into a relaxed state. After a while though, she stopped, pressing her finger over a certain part on his leg.

“How’d you get this?” __ asked. Tendou sat up and looked at the scar she was pointing at, a dark brown one sitting above his ankle. “It’s the only scar on your legs.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that.” Tendou shook his head. “In my last year of elementary school, my class took a field trip to a petting zoo, and since I was actually ten years old, I thought it would be hysterical to chase after a bunch of chickens-”

“Tendou Satori don’t you dare tell me you got a permanent scar from a flock of chickens.”

Oh yeah I did. Don’t regret it one bit.” Tendou laughed at the way she shook her head, muttering something about, “I can’t believe I fell in love with you.” After that, she decided to leave his legs alone. She had him flip on his stomach, next, which Tendou had no complaints about. He loved the feeling of nails on his back, and if she took her time there like she did everywhere else, Tendou swore he would fall back to sleep in an instant.

The moment her fingertips brushed against his shoulder blades, Tendou had already melted. He audibly sighed, nuzzing his face into the pillow. He could hear her giggle from behind him, continuing to touch him.

“What are all the scars up by your shoulders from?” She asked him, running the palm of her hand across the nape of his neck to the small of his back.

“Acne scars, babe.”

“Oh.” She peeped. “Sorry.” She leaned in, her palm flat on his back, and kissed hi nape gently.

“For what?” He laughed, flopping back down into the pillow. “This is literally the best day of my li-ife.”

Tendou swore he had reached Nirvana in those next five or so minutes. She traced all the freckles on his back, from where his hairline stopped to where his tail bone lay. He’d sigh every so often, the only indication he was giving her that he was awake. There was a point where she was doing nothing in particular, just scratching up and down his back softly, making his eyelids droop. He swore he was on the brink of passing out once more, just one more gentle touch, but she paused, her hand leaving his skin for a moment before it came in sharp contact with his bum. He whined in protest, but that was covered by her booming laughter.

“Wha’ was that for?” He mumbled, lifting his head up from the pillow to look at her.

“You have freckles on your bum. I thought it was cute.”

“So you slapped me-e?”

“Well, all’s fair in love and war.” She smiled fictitiously. “That wasn’t half as bad as the raspberry.”

Tendou shook his head, leaning across to bed to grab her in his arms. He help her there for a moment before throwing himself back onto the bed. She squealed, although she was silenced by Tendou pressing his lips against hers. She broke away then kissed him again, starting a cycle of soft lips moving against each other while hands roamed. Tendou parted away after a while, resting his forehead against hers.

“I love you…” Was all he said before kissing her again.

Times like these were just his absolute favorite.

This is precious! Like, wow, you are just so frickin’ GREAT at writing Tendou. This inspired me to focus on gentle intimacy and connection for future writings! Well, well done! I had a smile on my face the whole time!
