imagine-that-haikyuu:

i got a nasty cold that i was hoping would just be
allergies, but that wasn’t the case. ε-(＞．＜;; hence, why updates were slower
this week. sorry, about that, folks. i needed a little pick-me-up and used this
for that reason

totally based tanaka’s on how my cousin recently proposed
to his girlfriend, which was much cuter than his original plan, if you ask me

---

Kuroo

• Basically, he pulls a Jim from The Office where he does something purposefully
  to make you think he’s going to propose but doesn’t to build suspense for when
  he actually proposes (i.e., getting down on one knee while saying your name,
  looking you in the eye, and then going to tie his shoe)
• But
  he’s not going to propose at a gas station mini-mart, rest assured.
• No, you’re at the monthly trivia night at your
  usual bar. As always, the two of you are way more into it than any of your
  friends are and you’re tied for first against the one team you always lose to
  at the last question of the night.
• You’ve never been more pumped to write down the answer on the dry erase board at a moment’s notice. The game
  host gets his question card ready and makes everyone wait on baited breath.
• “Last question of the night. For twenty points:
  ___…”—You look up at the host clearly confused—“will you marry, Kuroo
  Tetsurou?” And sure enough while you’re processing that this is actually
  happening Kuroo’s still sitting right beside you with the ring out.
• While your giggling uncontrollably, you write
  down “Yes” on the white board and hold it up for everyone to see.
• While everyone else is applauding the two of you
  and cheering, he’s sure to ask again in his own voice and you respond all the
  same.

Asahi

• You’re sure he’s already bought a ring, so it’s only
  a matter of time. Every time you think it might be the perfect chance,
  though, it doesn’t happen. But you know he’s not the spontaneous type; he’s going
  to have everything planned and do it in a very romantic setting.
• It’s after a rough day at work and texting him
  the whole time, he offers to take you somewhere that will cheer you up once you
  get home. He doesn’t specify where, but when you ask him he answers with a, “Uh,
  it’s a… surprise…”
• This and how clammy his hands are when you hold
  his on the way there is assurance enough that it’s happening now. Now you just
  have to wait and see how he does it.
• It’s so simple, but beautiful: a picnic already
  set up at sunset into early evening at your favorite park.
• You can tell he’s incredibly nervous, but he’s
  keeping it together very well. He takes your hands and thinks over what he’s
  going to say before slowly saying it. He’s not going to trip over his words and
  ruin the mood he’s set for the evening.
• “I
  know I took longer than I should have to do this, but I needed the weather to
  warm up enough so that it didn’t get too cold after sunset. So, please, ___,
  will you marry me?”
• And
  god, it’s so cute and sweet and that you start laughing and crying and that
  makes him start laugh and crying too. Somewhere in there you’ve managed to
  squeak out a yes.

Tanaka

• He’s got this planned to a T. He’s going to
  propose while you’re at lunch with your parents—who are in on the plan—that afternoon.
• He keeps the ring in his back pocket from the
  moment he gets dressed in the morning, which ends up being early for him. His
  excitement woke him up earlier than usual.
• Tanaka’s ready for the day before you’ve even
  properly woken up. You’re still in your pajamas and somewhat sleepy while you
  prepare breakfast.
• There’s no
  way he’s going to make it until lunch. The very sight of you makes him
  swell up with so many emotions. After only a few steps into the kitchen, he gets
  down on one knee right there despite your back being turned to him.
• You hear his footsteps and turn to greet him
  sleepily only to be stopped mid-sentence by the sight of him kneeling and
  holding up little red box opened with a ring sparkling inside.
• He doesn’t even say anything and you’re already nodding
  and trying to remember how to say yes.
• “Will
  you m—”
• “Yes.”
• “C’mon.
  You’ve got to let me finish saying it first! ___, will you marry—”
• “Yes!”
• He
  can’t argue with you after that because you’ve tackled him to the ground in an
  embrace and keep shrieking “yes” with increasing excitement.

Going through the Asahi tag and oh my gosh how could I forget this gem?!! They are all so, so sweet!! 💖💖💖
