sakusa hates going to the store. but he finds it bearable (enjoyable, but he'll never call it that) when he goes with atsumu. atsumu drags sakusa through all the isles, making sakusa frown at his own list because they definitely don't need to go down the dog accessories aisle. but atsumu squeaks a few toys and joking holds a collar up to his neck, asking "is this my color?" and sakusa can't hide his laugh. so, sakusa lets atsumu drag him around the whole store, even going as far as buying that are not on his list, just because things with atsumu are... bearable.
When Iwaizumi wakes up for his morning run, he finds himself completely alone in the bed he shares with his boyfriends.
He's not as surprised as he should be to find the two of them passed out on the couch together after he's gotten dressed.
Suga is somehow nestled between the back of the couch and Oikawa's body, his head pillowed on his chest. Oikawa's right arm is wrapped around Suga's shoulders while his left hand rests on his hip. Their legs are entwined, the knitted blanket they keep on the couch wrapped between them.
The way Oikawa's head and upper shoulders are resting against the armrest of the couch makes Iwaizumi cringe, already foreseeing Oikawa complaining about his neck hurting later.
It isn't hard to guess what had happened after Iwaizumi had fallen asleep. The open laptop on their coffee table with a paused volleyball match on the screen being a pretty good indicator.
Old habits die hard.
He knows he should wake them both up, usher them back towards their bedroom to sleep in their actual bed but he can't bring himself to disturb them. Instead, somehow without waking either of them up, he extricates the blanket from their entwined legs and drapes it over the both of them properly.
He kisses them both on the head and then goes to put his running shoes on.
He can't stop himself from smiling as he leaves the apartment.
pokemon trainer, of course. his goal right now is to beat the current champion (ushijima) who he totally doesn't have a grudge against. he's challenged him once, and beat the elite four, and is currently preparing for another go at it.
he doesn't hate dragon type pokemon but he has developed an aversion to having any on his team because it was ushijima's advice to him when he lost against them. i also like to imagine this is a rivalry they've had since before ushijima became champion so it's not just... oikawa lost once and is salty forever now lol.
i did take types into account somewhat, at least defensively, but this is mostly just... vibes? pokemon i think oikawa would like having on his team and that i think suit him. lucario is because, like with suga and kageyama, i wanted him to have a pokemon that evolves with high friendship! a way to symbolize one of the things he's better than kageyama at in canon. i will fully admit that nidoking is me shoving in the 'grand king' thing. but!!! he suits him. emolga is simply because i remember getting really pissed off at trainers with emolga when i was playing pokemon white so naturally oikawa had to have one.
this is also just vibes... after giving oikawa a pikaclone i was like omg what if i gave iwa one too... <- arcanine and ninetales were already supposed to be their little counterpart pokemon. oh well they get two i guess. joltik and togedemaru are besties. joltik likes to sit on iwa's head.
tyranitar and arcanine were both iwa's first pokemon!! his big guys that he babies so much. this is according to oikawa. iwaizumi denies this. (but oikawa is right)
ceruledge is because... it's a knight and i think that suits iwaizumi for obvious reasons. and well. i don't like armarouge's design lol so ceruledge it is <3 and i love fire/ghost types.
as for his role in the au, he's just a trainer traveling with oikawa. they do double battles a lot. iwaizumi has all of the gym badges but hasn't pursued challenging the elite four, it's not necessarily something he has a lot of interest in. he likes entering tournaments though.
first off, i have decided to give the seijoh four all pikaclones to mirror the karasuno third years all have eeveelutions hehe. i think it's cute :p and they ended up all being the dual types too which i think adds to it somehow... or at least differentiates them from the other characters i gave pikaclones to haha.
some ghost types because of what he does in canon! which might be what he's pursuing in this au too? or maybe he later decides to settle down in a haunted house to look after some ghost types... that could be cool. bisharp because i think he's cool. that's it.
(oikawa is not a big fan of his haunter because he messes with him a lot. <- guy who pokemon just like to mess with. see: suga's aipom)
hanamaki: dedenne, impidimp, maractus, mareanie
other than dedenne, i don't have much reasoning for these guys? just guys i think he would like. smaller team because i imagine, like matsukawa, he doesn't battle as much as iwaizumi and oikawa do. he does it for fun but that's about it. he's not really sure what it is he wants to do. he's still trying to figure that part out.
impidimp gets along pretty well with matsukawa's haunter. they both make oikawa's life worse.
