Hey there ~ I’d like to request no. 13 with Bokuto for the christmas prompts :> Hope it’s inspiring enough, and if it’s not nevermind!! I hope you have a pleasant day ^^
Thanks for sending in some love for our fave owl boy! I hope you enjoy this!
#13 – First Christmas as a Couple
Bokuto’s knee bounces up and down, an outer manifestation of his inner excitement. This was it! His first Christmas with her!
But while he’s so happy she agreed to come with him to visit and meet his family, he can’t help but be a bit nervous. Knowing his mother, she’ll undoubtedly say something embarrassing, like how pleased she is he’s finally taking his future seriously.
He wishes they’d had a little more time together before this but he couldn’t wait to introduce her and Christmas seemed like the best time to do it.
What he hadn’t really considered was how many and the type of people who would be there. Like his uncles who don’t know when to stop with teasing or his cousins who are rambunctious and can be a little bratty and his dad…they just don’t always see eye to eye.
His palms start to sweat. How in the world did he think this was a good idea?
Next to him, _______ notices his expression go from excited to pensive to downright gloomy. After being friends with Bokuto since their third year of high school and dating him through their first year of university, she’s become fairly well versed in reading his moods, Akaashi having been a helpful interpreter when the need arose.
“Bokuto-kun.” Her voice draws his eyes to her face and she gives his hand a gentle squeeze. “It’s going to be fine. Don’t you remember? I’ve at least met your parents that one time at the Spring Tournament, so I’m not a complete stranger. I mean, that’s assuming they remember me,” she ends with a slight chuckle.
Bokuto turns to her, hand reaching to cup her face. “I don’t know how anyone could forget you,” he remarks.
The intensity of his eyes and serious tone make her heart skip a beat. She’s used to him teasing her, flirting, being a general goofball but this…this is something very new. Squeezing his hand again she forces a bigger smile onto her face. “Then you don’t have anything to worry about, right?”
He nods, drawing her close and dropping a peck to the top of her head.
They arrive to the station five minutes later, walking out of the train and see his parents waving to them through a window from inside the station. Despite his earlier trepidation, Bokuto’s face erupts into a wide grin, feet moving faster to get to them, ______ trailing slightly behind thanks to his longer legs.
“Mom! Dad!” Bokuto exclaims, hugging his mother tightly before reaching out a hand to his father.
Turning he gestures for _______ to come closer.
“Mom, dad, I’m sure you remember _______,” he says.
Looking at his mother, _______ can see where Bokuto gets his smile; hers is just as wide if more feminine. His father nods once in greeting, his stare making her shift slightly; Bokuto definitely gets his eyes from him.
“Of course sweetie! We’re so happy you could join us!” his mother offers, extending her arms and pulling the girl into an unexpected hug.
“Th…thank you,” she stammers, righting herself before bowing. “I appreciate you having me join you for the holiday.”
“We’re always happy to see Koutarou’s friends!”
“Um, mom, she…she’s more than just a friend. I….I asked her out a few months ago so we’re dating now,” Bokuto explains, hand rubbing the back of his head.
His mother blinks at him for a moment then rushes forward, flicking him in the forehead. “And you’re just telling me this now? Koutarou!”
“Sorry mom, sheesh, I just…I wanted to tell you in person!”
“A likely story,” she grumbles but offers another smile to _______ as she loops their arms together and drags her towards the exit. “Well now I’m even more happy you’re here dear! You always struck me as a sensible young woman! No doubt you’ve been a great influence on him.” ________ blushes heavily, unsure how to respond to such praise. “Now, let’s get you two home out of this cold and I’ll show you all of Koutarou’s baby pictures, he was just the cutest little owl!”
“MOM!”
Ghouls? I’m in! Can I request headcanons on how Kuroo, Sugawara and Tsukishima would react if they found out in a gruesome way that they’re crush is a ghouls ? Like they caught them feeding or their crush stepped in to protect them from other ghouls? Maybe both? 😳 Thank you!! And I’m super glad that the supernatural AU won as well!! I’m a sucker for horror movies and all that, and you’re writing is awesome!!! It’s a win-win 😍
I did this in a reactions/scenario free flow that I’ve grown immensely fond of. Thanks again to @sfw-haikyuu-nsfw for introducing me to this type of writing and for being so cool with me using it too! Warning, this is somewhat gruesome.
Kuroo had heard rumors of these
creatures, but initially thought it was an elaborate prank. Those videos
couldn’t have possibly been real. But now, looking at the creature before him,
he has no doubt. And he knows he’s about to die. His fight or flight circuits
somehow cross, leaving him stranded with fear, like a bird who can fly stays
still waiting for the snake to strike. “Oh god,” he whimpers, voice cracking.
“Such
a sweet looking treat,” hisses the ghoul, striding forward slowly. It takes a
deep breath in. “I can smell your fear and it’s soooooo tasty.”
Just
as it springs, Kuroo covers his eyes but the impact never comes. Opening them
again, he’s startled to see _________ has jumped in front of him, her hands
grasping the wrists of the creature.
He
still can’t move, can’t make a sound when his crush, the girl he’s been pining
after all year, bites his former attacker.
At first,
he thinks he imagined it, there’s no way she-
But the
sound of rending flesh and a horrid scream of pain snaps him to the reality
that this is really happening. Sugawara
falls to his knees, eyes wide with horror as ________ easily overpowers the
ghoul, taking another huge chunk of its flesh. Her lips smack, tongue licking
the trailing blood from her mouth before she goes in for another bite and all
the while his attacker now turned victim writhes and twitches on the ground
shrieking.
“Shut
up,” she hisses, tearing its throat to render it soundless. “That’s better,”
she coos before going back to feeding.
A
sound of retching, Sugawara no doubt, hits her ears but she’s so starved she
can’t stop now. She’s been holding back for far too long and there were way too
many close calls where she almost ate the one she cares about.
Finishing
her meal, she stands, wiping the remnants of her consumption from her teeth
before turning around. She’s a gruesome sight to behold, clothing saturated
with blood, eyes still black and red as a result of her excitement during the
kill.
“Tsukishima-kun,” her voice calls gently. When the blonde looks up it’s to find
her eyes returning to their normal color but it does little to stem the shiver
of horror that racks his body. He falls backwards, landing hard on his ass and
skirting away as fast as he can.
“What…what
the hell are you?” he rasps, throat coated with the evidence of his expulsion.
She
sighs, rubbing her hands upon her skirt in an attempt to clean them, the end
result merely being a smearing of more blood upon her person. “I think you know
the answer to that, Tsukishima-kun.”
“But
you, you’re…you go to my school! You sit in class, right next to me! How…how
could you be…be…this the whole
time?!” His voice is rising, hysterics taking over despite his usually calm
nature.
“That’s
true, I do those things. But it’s also true that I’m this.” She pauses, tilting
her head. “And what do you propose to do now? Are you going to tell the
authorities?” Her voice is even, no trace of a threat but he knows it’s there.
How could it not be? And how could he do that? After all, she did save him. And as far as he knows,
she hasn’t eaten any humans.
At
least not anyone he knows.
Swallowing
down more bile, he shakes his head. “I won’t tell them. I won’t tell anyone.”
She
smiles, kneeling to his level. “Thank you, Tsukishima-kun. I promise, as long
as I’m around, you won’t have to worry something like that,” she points behind
her to the mass of flesh and bone left, “ever hurting you.”
“But…you
are something like that. How…how can
you be sure you won’t-“
“Because
I could have eaten you more than a hundred times over since we met and I
haven’t.”
“Why?”
he can’t help asking.
She
smiles again. “Because I like you, Tsukishima-kun.”
