Ask box open? So excited! Can you add Ukai to your ballroom/latin dance AU? I’m thinking Rachel will want to write it because he’s her husband? I wasn’t sure what to ask for in relation to the AU since I’m sure you have an idea of what you want to write (and I’m clueless when it comes to dance) but if you want more details I can try to come up with something?

imagine-that-haikyuu:

a little known fact is that 75% of the reason i started this blog was that somewhere along the way, someone would ask me for this ballroom/latin!au. when i brought may on and we started talking to get to know each other, i found out she also loves dancing with the stars as much as i do. we knew we had to write this au or else we’d only screech to each other about it with no other outlet

if you like what i do and want to show your support, consider supporting me on ko-fi! money is tight right now, and i could use the help!

Heather Morris’s rumba with Maks Chmerkovskiy is my inspiration for Ukai’s and your dancing so definitely check it out. It’s, like, pitch perfect, the chemistry is all there, I could go on. I’d like to think that good songs for a rumba with him are Amy Winehouse’s slow-downed BBC Live Lounge version of “Valerie” or “Crystallized” by Young the Giant

The two of you have been partnered up since you were kids, and it shows. There’s just something so effortless in your dancing and your partnership. It makes even the most serious of dance styles look like fun.

Needless to say, it took a lot of work (and a little falling in love) to make that happen. Your personalities clashed a lot in the beginning, but something clicked after a particularly bad day in competition and things took a turn for the better from there.

Since he buzzed his hair in his youth, he never had to slick back his hair for competition. The headband he wears all the time now to push his hair back is a sort of middle ground for that when he’s instructing.

The boys love it when Ukai calls you into help with classes. Partially because, hey, a pretty lady is coming to see them, but also because you can give their partners insight that they’re more receptive to since you’re in their position

Plus, the demos from you two are either really ~~hot~~ helpful or lead to some hilarious bickering after

Has a soft spot for the Viennese waltz and foxtrot, even though he’s a latin guy himself. You often joke about him liking those standard dances–as opposed to the tango–because of his delinquent-like appearance.

(This is where I direct you to another dance from Maks Chmerkovskiy, but this time it’s his Viennese waltz with Meryl Davis because I have not shut up to May for days already about this being the perfect VWaltz for Ukai and his partner. I get really emotional about it)

His favorite outside of the ten dance styles in competition is the Argentine tango. Dancing in close embrace with you is just so romantic for him.

So cool! Thanks for a new obsession!

Halloween ask: Ukai being dragged to a cornfield maze by the boys and he ends up separated from them only to find his old crush from high school lost and helps her. I’ll leave it to you on whether you want to make it spookier by there being a real (but not malevolent) ghost in the maze or if it’s just hokey and they laugh together while trying to get out or maybe work together to scare the boys? However you want to do it! Thanks and Happy Halloween!

imagine-that-haikyuu:

Ukai thinks himself a total hypocrite. Before entering this corn maze with the team, he made sure to instruct them all to stay together. Yet, here he was on his own with nothing but a dim flashlight in hand.

Only fifteen minutes or so into their journey in, something spooked the kids. He doesn’t know exactly what, since he and Takeda trailed behind the pack. But out of nowhere someone screamed (probably Hinata) and sent the rest of the team already on edge into a scramble.

Except for Tsukishima, who seemed rather unphased by this. He only started running when Yamaguchi called out to him in fear that “it’s gonna get you!”, to which the tall blonde clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes before groaning, “Fine” and heading off.

“Those idiots,” Ukai grumbled.

“They’ll be fine,” Takeda said. “They all have maps of the maze with them.”

“We should probably try to keep an eye on them, though. I’d rather not deal with angry parents later.”

So he an Takeda split up. Not their brightest idea–literally–as Ukai’s flashlight now seems to dim and flicker more by the minute. He put in fresh batteries before leaving for the maze too. When the light cuts completely, he slaps it a few times to try and restore it, but to no avail.

After a string of muttered curses, he throws his head back. Now would be the perfect time to light a cigarette, but the last thing he wants to do is to accidentally set the place ablaze. Well, the only thing left to do is to try and find another group wandering through the maze to help him out. In the dark, he can barely make out the path before him nor the cornstalk boundaries; it’ll be a slow process. Ukai sighs, lifts his arms up to out in front of him, and takes his first steps.

Awwwwww!!!!! I love it!! I’m so glad you liked my choice of character and situation and I LOVE your interpretation of it!!

Could I get a scenario of Ukai deciding to finally proposing to his s/o but keeps getting interrupted by the Karasuno boys each time he tries to ask her and after realizing what they accidentally kept doing the boys decorate the gym, with the help of Kiyoko and Yachi, to the surprise of their coach and his s/o and hold up signs saying ‘will you marry our coach?’

imagine-that-haikyuu:

what’s more romantic than a proposal scenario on valentine’s day? and with my husband too! this is so self-indulgent and i swooned the entire time i wrote it. i made the reader a teacher at karasuno for the sake of ease regarding the last part and also because i referenced this scenario in it too.

~~i had no idea how to decorate the gym forgive me so it’s very understated but the boys didn’t have a big budget~~

and that’s it for valentine’s day updates! even though i didn’t get to finish as much as i would have liked for the occasion, i was able to carve out some good chunks for some other request so expect them in the next few days!

This should have been easy. Ukai’s at a loss at what to do now. He’s been keeping that box in his pocket all week long, anticipating the right moment to pop the question to you.

The whole point of a casual yet intimate proposal is that, unless he really screws up the lead-in, it would go without a hitch. There’s no need to depend on others and potentially embarrass you in the process. Not that either of you like those over-the-top proposals anyway.

And yet, it seemed as if fate had other ideas this past week, using the team he coaches as a proxy for its chaos.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!! I can’t believe I never read this one before!! It’s soooooo cute!

10. “I might have had a few shots.” + ukai? i’m a sucker for tipsy/drunk fluff

Sorry this took so long! I hope
you like it because I simply adore coach and think he deserves lots of love!

Keishin Ukai – #10 – “I might
have had a few shots.”

“Y/N!!” You jolt out of a deep sleep, startled by banging at
your door and the loud call of your name. Looking at the clock you see it’s
after one in the morning.

“Y/N, are you home?!”

Now that you’re more coherent you finally recognize that
voice; Keishin! Throwing on a robe you hurry to the front door and unlock it.
Opening it, you swiftly pull him in, shutting the door before asking in exasperation,
“Keishin, what in the world are you doing?! Do you know what time it is?”

He takes a step toward you and you notice he’s a bit
unsteady on his feet. Pointing his finger at you, he opens his mouth. “I need
to tell you something.”

“At this hour? Couldn’t it have waited until, oh I don’t know,
when you saw me after school?” You have to get up at the crack of dawn, just
like him you might add, to unlock the gym for your girls.

He’s pacing now, completely ignoring your question. “You know,
I’ve put a lot of thought into this, too much really.” He pauses and
you can see more clearly have inebriated he is. His hazy eyes meet yours as he
goes on, “I’ve decided to just get it over with.”

“What are you talking about?”

Stepping into your space, hands on your shoulders he looks
down at you and you can smell the alcohol on his breath; you really hope he
walked here.

“I’m in love with you.”

Um, what? You take a step back asking, “Keishin, how much
did you have to drink tonight?”

He shrugs. “I might
have had a few shots.”

“More than a few,”
you think but don’t argue the point. He’s leaning more heavily on you now so you
work your way to the couch, sitting down with him and patting his arm.

“I think it would be a good idea for you to sleep this off
here.” He protests weakly as you go to get a spare pillow and blanket, but by
the time you return he’s slumped over, passed out asleep. Smiling fondly at
him, you settle the pillow under his head, tucking his legs up on the couch and
covering him with the blanket.

It must have been some strong sake he had to bring him here
and say what he did which you aren’t even sure he’ll remember in the morning.
Part of you hopes he doesn’t because you’d rather have a love confession be
spoken with a coherent mind, especially from Keishin.

When your alarm goes off you groan; how can four hours feel
like five minutes? Rising you stretch and head to the bathroom. From down the
hall you can hear Keishin moving around in the kitchen, the scent of fresh
coffee wafting towards you. Your business completed, you head towards the
wonderful aroma and are greeted by the sight of a fresh cup on the table,
already creamed and sugared.

Keishin’s back is to you but he mumbles a good morning and
you return the sentiment. He’s probably suffering one hell of a hangover.
Inhaling deeply to enjoy the smell of your favorite brew, you thank him for
making it.

“It’s the least I could do after making an utter ass of myself
last night,” he grumbles, finally turning around with cheeks flushed, this time
from embarrassment instead of alcohol.

You wave your hand. “It wasn’t that bad,” you lie hoping he’s
forgotten the details.

He sets his cup down with a bang startling you. Pushing off
from where he leans on the counter, he closes the distance, drawing you out of
your chair and into his arms. Lips descend to yours, the taste of coffee and
cigarettes lingering.

You clutch his shirt, kissing him back, wondering if maybe
you’re still asleep and dreaming.

Lack of air makes you pull away, but Keishin keeps his hand
on the back of your head, his face close to yours.

“I meant what I said.” His voice is gravelly and he sounds
delicious enough to consume. “It wasn’t drunken talk; it just took me six shots
of sake and two beers to get the guts to tell you. That and Takeda-sensei
pointing out I have no reason to wait telling you the truth.”

He kisses you again, drawing you closer and you melt against
him. The boys and girls will just have to forego morning practice today.

Now you tell me you’re Top 5 characters ! 😌

Ah ha! Turn about’s fair play, eh? Ok here we go:

1.) Kuroo – I don’t know what it is but the cat man just draws me in. Looking forward to/hoping for more of him in the next season.

2.) Bokuto – I love his energy and passion and that he’s such a good senpei not only to his own team but to Hinata and Tsukishima

3.) Daichi – He’s such an amazing captain and friend to all the boys. Adore!

4.) Ukai- COACHIE!!! It was a toss up between him and Daichi for number (3) but I love his dedication to the team and how hard he’s willing to work for them.

5.) Tsukishima – As much as he is a brat sometimes I am repeatedly moved by the evolution of his character and thus he makes it into my top 5.

Thanks for answering mine and thanks for the ask back!
