first time with the boys // aoba johsai
Here's aoba johsais version for you thirsty thots. (Fun fact oikawas first time is based on my first time lmao)
Tooru Oikawa
You're his first.
This man is the king of flirting but boy kept his virginity for someone special. Aka you!!
You'd of been flirting for so long and dancing on the edge of being in a relationship, both of you two scared yo fully commit.
Got drunk at a Halloween party and he eventually just mumbled out how much he likes you and wants to be your pretty boyfriend.
Ofc you said yes.
He'd dressed as a devil with spikey red horns and you as an angel. He looked adorable tbh.
Carried you home on his back and nearly dropped you trying to climb the fence.
Stumbled upstairs smothering each other in kisses and fell onto the bed in a mound of giggles.
You were both still a little tipsy but he'd ask if he could fuck you in your costume cause you look so hot. Of course you said yes and fumbled around in your purse for a condom.
He'd gotten all cocky saying how you'd planned this and couldn't resist him so you just smacked his cheek with the packet before tugging his pants and boxers down.
This man is packing, he knows and he's proud.
Makes a joke about how lucky you are to have him before you shove his shoulders down onto the bed and he loses the attitude.
Becomes a whining mess when you slide onto his cock.
His nails scratch at your thighs, the bedsheets, tug through his hair. Anything to try and cope with the immense pleasure.
Cums super early. He's never felt anything like this in his entire life.
Calls you princess when he cums.
He'd eat you out with his cum still inside you, just wanting you to experience the same amount of pleasure he did.
Looks up at you between your legs with those stupid devil horns on and tells you to cum for him.
You two just lie there for nearly an hour kissing and cuddling before finally moving to take a shower and get rid of your dumb costumes.
Hajime Iwaizumi
You've both got experience when you finally sleep together.
Iwa's a little shit and flirts to no end for months until you end up grinding up against him at a nightclub and he loses it.
Has a hard on immediately and you'd just press your ass even harder against him, pretend you're too drunk to realise.
He'd wrap his hand around your throat to pull you flush against his body and mumble how he's gonna destroy you when you get home.
Literally all you think about the entire night until hes pulling you into his apartment and lifting you off your feet to press against the wall.
His hands grab at your ass and he digs his fingers in stupidly hard until you cry out in pain and he fucking laughs against your lips.
Tells you how hard he's gonna fuck you and how you won't be walking straight for a week when he's done with you.
Practically throws you on the bed as he starts to strip and tells you to do the same.
You rip your dress a little trying to unzip it and throw it somewhere across the room.
Iwa slides his knee between your thighs when he kisses you and you can't help but grind down against his muscled thighs. He makes a joke about you getting off just from that.
Replaces his knee with 2 of his fingers and eats up all the noises you make. You moan at how good it is, how talented he is with his fingers.
Iwa loves the praise.
He guides one of your hands to his cock and it looks so dainty because of how big it is.
You get him to full hardness and ask next time this happens if he'll face fuck you.
He's too lost in you wanting a second round to answer and just roughly presses his entire length into you.
You cry out and scratch at his shoulders a little until the hot pain starts to fade and then demand he fuck you into next week.
And this boy delivers.
He puts your ankles on his shoulders, one hand wrapped around your pretty neck as he rails you into the bed sheets.
You feel like he's fucked your brains out because all you can do is lay there cross eyed and mouth open in a constant string of moans.
You're already close but when his thumb starts to rub at your clit you lose it.
You shake against the bed and his body, tongue poking out and eyes fluttering shut as he fucks you through your orgasm.
So full of himself he'd just carry on and say how good he is and how lucky you are to have his cock. And even in your dumbed out state you'd weakly fight back and say he should be thankful he gets to fuck someone so pretty.
You just smirk and tell him to cum for you and by God does that get to him.
Squeezes your throat so tight when he cums and leaves tiny bruises against your skin.
He'd be super apologetic after and ask if you was okay and he'd be floored when you said you wanted him to do it again.
Afterwards you'd just lie in his bed in your underwear sharing a beer with him.
Issei Matsukawa
You both have experience, him moreso than you as he's older.
He'd seen you around college campus and got absolutely infatuated with seeing you everyday and what skirt you'd be wearing.
Got the courage to speak to you one day when you was sat on a bench doing work.
You'd become fast friends and spent a lot of time together and being horny 21 year olds it eventually lead to hooking up.
Brought you back to his dorm and dragged you too his bedroom before you could comment on the horrendous mess.
He hates his dorm mates right now.
He'd push you onto your hands and knees on the bed and nearly rip your thong when he pulls it to the side to stick his tongue against your ass.
You drop your head into the pillows to muffle the surprise.
He'd slip two fingers into your cunt and eat your ass until you're practically screaming for him to stop and just fuck you.
He's a tease and a huge dom though so he'd make you beg for him until he's satisfied.
You'd turn around so you're on your back and spread your legs, pushing your own fingers inside and grabbing one of you boobs through your shirt.
He'd let you have your fun for a moment and then rip your hands away and pin them to the bed.
Calls you a little whore.
He'd pull his shorts and boxers down just enough to pull his cock out and thrust in so hard he pushes you up the bed.
He's so fucking big and he wouldn't give you time to adjust and just fuck you relentless into his mattress.
You'd scratch at his shoulders and back, feeling blood catch under your nails.
He kinda gets off on that.
He makes sure you're super close before he cums so he can time it right. He really wants you to cum when he's spilling into you.
Best orgasm ever.
You'd just be a dead weight on the bed and he'd laugh and joke about you needing to leave before his roommate comes home.
Hes kidding of course and texts him to swerve for the night.
Helps you clean up and lets you pick out a movie on his laptop whilst he orders McDonald's.
You cuddle into his naked chest and share chicken nuggets.
Yutaro Kindaichi
You're his first.
Baby would be so nervous and shy whenever you touch him. He'd always ask if the lights could stay off even when you just gave him a handjob.
Definitely happened when he graduated.
He wanted it to be a special occasion when he said he was still a virgin and that he wanted you to take it.
You have to constantly reassure him and give him complements, sometimes he still feels he isn't good enough for you.
Asks if you can take control and show him what to do.
Please be gentle with him he's super nervous even though he wants it to happen.
You'd slip his jacket off and start kissing his neck and exposed collar bones so softly before stripping him of his shirt.
You spend so long just sat in his lap on the edge of the bed pressed against his chest and kissing him softly before he bites your lip and asks if you'll strip for him.
You try to put on a little show put end up tripping taking your socks off and he's just all giggles and smiles. Makes him feel less nervous too.
Asks you what position you prefer and you just push him onto his back and straddle his hips. He gets the idea.
He's ridiculously sensitive and asks if you can go slow he doesn't bust a nut in 3 seconds.
Touches you all over when you start to slowly move. He squeezes your thighs, your hips your boobs, just anything he can fit in his hands.
Even going slow he'd cum pretty quick, you just feel so good wrapped tight around him.
Tries to cover his face when he cums but you grab his hands before he can so you can see his face. His eyes are scrunched shut, cheeks flushed and hair sticking to his forehead.
He looks like an angel tbh.
You'd finish yourself off because he'd be too spent to even pull out of you let alone move.
He goes all soft and shy again when you clean up and pulls you between his legs so you can cuddle your back against his chest.
Says how much he loves you and kisses the side of your neck.
Kentarou Kyotani
You're each others first.
This boy is so blunt and clumsy he'd just be making out with you on his bed and just ask if you want to have sex.
You say you do and get a little nervous saying it'll be your first time and he's just all chill like yeah me too babes.
Kisses your fears away and slowly strips you of your clothes.
He'd just stop and stare and get lost in how gorgeous your naked body looks spread across his bed.
Kisses down your body and settles between your thighs until you start whining for him to strip too.
He wastes no time in doing that.
Kisses the inside of your thighs and traces his finger across your skin.
He loves when you start whining quietly and ask him to do something.
Saves you the embarrassment of making you say what and slowly runs his tongue across your cunt and runs circles into your hip bones.
Definitely growls against you because the noises you make are going straight to his cock.
He's already half hard and dripping.
He'd tease you a little and whisper dirty things against your ear as he gets himself fully hard to your breath against his cheek.
You wrap your arms around his shoulders and pull him into a kiss as he pushes in.
You bite his lip at the sudden pain and he doesn't start to move until you say so. He's a good boy.
Fucks you so slowly in fear of hurting you because he's pretty big and its your first time.
He sucks bruises into your neck and circles his thumb on your clit until you're writhing underneath him.
Your nails drag down his back and draw blood when you cum with a cry on his name.
That just spurs him on even more as he fucks you through your orgasm saying how amazing you are and how much he loves you before he pulls out and cums onto your chest.
Licks his own cum off your breasts and nips both of your nipples slightly which gets you laughing.
You both fall asleep naked and sticky under the sheets.

Out of this world hq fanfics, my favorites (part two)
Please check trigger warnings before reading any of these fics. <3
I’m also taking requests for recommendations. Just fill out the form in the pinned post on my page.

Rating: E
Ship: Iwaizumi/Oikawa (IwaOi)
Length: 10 chapters, 28,916
Status: Completed
Author’s summary: Friends since childhood, Oikawa and Iwaizumi now live together, both playing for the National Team. It's no secret that athletes who are bonded perform better. So if the two of them happen to bond...It'd be for the good of the team, right?
The words in the stars say: Shawtys, don’t yell at me for recommending another Omegaverse fic, it’s so good though, and I’m just goin down my list of favs and they were right under each other. Anyways, I love this fic. This story persistently describes the pinning on both sides perfectly. You can clearly see the turning point when Oikawa’s goal changes as the bond further affects his and Iwa’s lives, both positively and negatively. This is one of my favorite IwaOi Omegaverse fics. This story gives the understanding of being connected to the one you love, no matter how it came about, a completely different meaning.
I rate this fic 10 aliens out of 10, please read and if you do talk to me about the convenience store scene, it’s my favorite part :).

Ship: Kageyama/Hinata (KageHina)
Length: 6 chapters, 72,501 words
Status: Completed
Author’s summary: "He was aware of the itch he’d feel before he shook his head or scrunched his nose. He recognized the impulse to move, but he didn’t realize how compulsive the behaviors had become. He had to shake his head. He had to scrunch his nose. He had to shrug his shoulders over, and over, and over.It wasn’t until he was nine-years-old that Shouyou realized he couldn’t control his movements like other kids could."
The words in the stars say: I really loved this AU. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it at first but as I kept reading I enjoyed it more and more. In this fic Hinata having Tourette's made so much sense. I love how the author used actual habits Hinata has in the anime, explained them in the story, and how they work with Tourette’s. The difference between who Kageyama was in the beginning, compared to how he was at the end made me so happy. He clearly learned how he should be treating Hinata with or without feelings and Hinata’s Tourette’s. Such a sweet read for my Kagehina stans. 
I rate this fic 10 aliens out of 10.

Ship: Bokuto/Akaashi (BokuAka)
Length: 30 chapters, 201,662 words
Status: Incomplete. Hasn’t been updated since 2/15/21 (Imma cry)
Author’s summary: Akaashi Keiji is a competitive figure skater, and has been his whole life. Ever since he could remember, he's always been pushed by everyone around him to be great. To never fail. To satisfy his mother's desire of him going to the Winter Olympics.Everything was going fine for him, his routine at the rink with his friends running smoothly. Until one day, the University Hockey team was temporarily moved to his rink. Thanks to his meddling best friend, Akaashi is pushed into introducing himself to well-known hockey star Bokuto Koutarou. His attraction to the wild-eyed and kind-hearted man is almost instant.Akaashi soon finds himself falling all to fast for his liking. Before he could catch himself, he was pushed out of his comfort zone and into worlds beyond. As his new relationship with Bokuto blossoms, he learns that his worth is so much more than his performance, and to accept the haunting truths in his life he's been running from for so long.
The words in the stars say: I’m a sucker for figure skater x hockey player au’s and man, WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS INCOMPLETE. *SLAMMING ON DESK NOISES* I love them so much, lmk if yall find any others. This fic was just *kiss*. I loved it. It represented Akaashi so well and his mental state as a figure skater. I got the whole experience, I finished it and then went ice skating (unplanned, surprisingly). Bokuto is such a sweet heart and every time he forgave Akaashi while he was struggling, warmed my heart (unlike my fingers while I type this sheesh). I adored the IwaOi, DaiSuga, and KuroKen in the background. 
10/10 completely. I love this fic so much even with it being abandoned. </3

Ship: Sakusa/Atsumu (SakuAtsu)
Length: 3 chapters, 37,963 words
Status: Complete
Author’s summary: “I’m Atsumu! What’s your name?” The boy mumbled out an answer, and because his voice was muffled by his mask, all Atsumu heard was “...Omi.”“Omi?”“Kiyoomi,” the boy said in a much clearer voice. But Atsumu was already attached to the name. “Omi-Omi! Let’s go!” Shamelessly, he grabbed him by the hand and tugged him behind him. He felt responsible for him — the boy clearly needed all the protection and guidance he could get. Atsumu can be his hero.--The story started when the Sakusa family moved into their neighborhood in Amagasaki when they were nine. Atsumu would always remember that he saw Kiyoomi first.
The words in the stars say: Lettersinpetals has to be one of my absolute favorite hq fic writers. Their SakuAtsu fics are the ones I will ALWAYS rec. This story is a beautiful rollercoaster. I don’t even know how many times I cried (happy ending dw dw) while reading this. I love the childhood friends AU for SakuAtsu plus Osamu and Suna’s drama that pulls you into a heartbreaking story. Lettersinpetals blows me away every damn time I read a fic of theirs. PLEASE PLEASE, read this fic. 
I rate this 10 out of 10 aliens.

Length: 14 chapters, 62,872 words
Status: Completed
Author’s summary: Sugawara Koushi has no idea he's already in love with the man he's supposed to hate
The words in the stars say: This fic. Oh my god. This fic made me want to have a penpal I write love letters to even when I have no idea who they are. I’m a sucker for poetry and letters, this story was a dessert for me. I adore Suga owning a bookstore. Also the background KageHina, AsaNoya, and TsukkiYama? YES. This fic lives in my head rent free in English class. The scene in the café with Suga and Daichi, I just- *dies*. Read this fic now. It’s amazing and I reread it all the time when I’m sad, such a heartfelt read. I can’t express how much I love this fic.
!!!!SPOILER!!!!  “I hoped. I wanted it to be you.” *sobbing* !!!!SPOILER!!!!

Be My Last - Iwaizumi x  Reader (Pt. 2)
Summary: You have trouble getting over a past relationship and it’s preventing you from moving forward. (~2.3k words)
Warnings: nsfw, poor communication tbh, angst?
A/N: There’s always trouble in paradise.... 
So I haven’t written a plot-heavy fic in a while. Anyway, I hope this is as dramatic as I intended it to be but not excessive.
Part 1|| Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5
---
Your phone vibrated loudly, nearly falling off the edge of your office desk but before checking the text, you were already scooping your personal items into your messenger bag and rising to leave the office.
Iwa had intended to meet you after work to grab dinner together before going home, and you quickly glanced at your phone to confirm his arrival while you made your way down multiple flights of stairs (turns out having an athletic trainer as a boyfriend made you a lot more fitness-conscious) to meet him in front of the large skyscraper.
You met him only slightly out of breath, hoping he hadn’t waited long, and he grinned as he saw you, arms uncrossing to take your bag from you and greet you with a kiss on the forehead.
“How was today? More good news?” You inquired cheerfully, linking your arm around his tightly as you started walking. He hummed, his pace still leisurely and his other hand casually resting in his pocket in mock humility.  
“What, I haven’t impressed you enough?” He teased with a laugh, earning him a playful slap on the shoulder. Learning that he was going to be head athletic trainer for the Japan National Volleyball Team just last week was still fresh, and while you were excited for him, you were a tiny bit apprehensive about how much it would change his schedule. Even though he was already quite busy, you’d gotten used to Iwa’s schedule being predictable and being home every night, especially once he’d moved in with you about a year into your relationship.
While this new position was the biggest event on the horizon, quite a lot had changed since you’d met Hajime and lowered your emotional defenses to let him in, and that simple fact was evident by the way your hand unconsciously snaked down the length of his arm to interlace your fingers with him, as you continued to tell each other about your days.
He’d always impressed you from the very moment you met him. His confidence, his pure kindness and his genuine love for you were only a few of the things that made you love him wholeheartedly. The only regret that you had these days was that you hadn’t met him sooner, or rather, first.
Now, back in the quiet of the apartment you’d lived in for almost four years now, you and Iwa were locked in an embrace shrouded by the steam of an excessively warm shower. Despite the fact that you felt heavy with a generous dinner, the current somewhat pleasant turning of your stomach had more to do with the expert way Iwa’s fingers worked your center without compromising attention to your lips and tongue.
Soft moans of his name earned you the privilege of being gently lifted and pressed back against the shower tile, to leverage you steadily against the pressure of his heavy cock pushing past your walls into you as many times before. 
He always knew where to touch and what to fill. 
It occurred to you again as he coaxed one orgasm then another out of you with firmly delivered strokes, aided by the slick coming from your legs and the water that ran over the two of you, that you loved him. Fully and without reservation.
Especially when he pulled back to look at your flustered, wanting face, slightly tilted upwards to look at him with eyes enamored, your body fitting him like a glove, and you could practically see his heart swell.
A reckless, all-encompassing sort of love.
---
“This is… a lot of food,” your friend pointed out with raised eyebrows as she watched you toss possibly a 15th packet of thinly sliced marbled beef for shabu shabu in your cart before moving along to the condiment section. You were grateful that she was accompanying you on this errand because even though you enjoyed grocery shopping, it seemed like you’d been here for a lot longer than you expected and you weren’t too familiar with most of the ingredients on the long grocery list you’d brought with you.
Besides, the cart was overfilled and you felt that eventually you’d need two hands to push it.
“Iwa wants to invite I don’t know even know how many hungry athletes into our tiny apartment, so I’m just trying to be prepared,” you shrugged.
“By buying the entire butcher shop?”
“Yes.”
“He better be paying at least, this looks expensive,” she murmured, only to open her mouth in a teasing ‘O’ once you flashed Iwa’s credit card in her face with a grin.
Amused, she tossed a pack of vermicelli noodles in the cart then let out a loud, wistful sigh before leaning on the shopping cart handle. You frowned in response, knowing exactly what that sound entailed. 
“So when did Oikawa say he’d be back?”
She let out an aggravated groan. “Not for months and then by the time the Olympics start, he’ll be even more busy… This shit is so annoying, to be honest. It’s like he’s never off season!”
You tiptoed to reach a highly placed bottle of shoyu and another of rice vinegar and drop it in your cart. You sympathized with her frustration, you had known intimately once what it was like to be made second priority, even if that wasn’t your life now.
“At least you know he would still choose you over volleyball, no matter how much he loves it,” you reassured her.
You had said the statement without any deeper intended meaning, but when you turned your friend was still eyeing you carefully, concern written in her knit eyebrows.
“What?”
“Nothing,” she replied, deciding to drop it. But two paces later, she paused to a standstill, and asked, “Do you know exactly who Iwa is inviting over?”
You shrugged your shoulders again. “Honestly, I don’t care, it’s not like I follow sports anymore.”
To that, she replied with a soft hum of assent before choosing to talk about dessert instead.
---
Seated at a corner table at the small coffee shop at the base of his hotel, Ushijima Wakatoshi looked carefully at the email invitation, noting the address more carefully this time, a wash of unsettling nostalgia rushing over him.
You wouldn’t notice it from the neutral expression on his face, but ever since he had made it back to this side of Tokyo, the concern of going back in time and revisiting old mistakes weighed heavy on his mind. Of course, he was excited about his new accolades and the opportunity to represent his country nationally, but with few people to share that news with, the reminder of what he had sacrificed to get here seemed less like a badge of honor and more like a condemnation. 
For someone who insisted on moving forward, no matter what the pace or price, this was a particularly unwelcome feeling. 
And of course, this sentiment was made way worse when it occurred to him that he was being invited to his old home as a guest. Well, he wasn’t exactly sure - while the apartment building itself was definitely the same one where he had lived so many years ago, he wasn’t completely sure whether or not the floor and suite number were the same. It would be an odd coincidence that Iwa lived there too now, but it was a nice apartment building after all, so he assumed it must be a popular place to live.
Still, he couldn’t help the mild uneasiness he felt at the prospect of turning up on that street.
What if by some unfortunate twist of fate, he ran into you? Whether in the lobby, sharing the elevator, maybe even in passing at the konbini where previously he’d surprise you with a custard taiyaki or melon bread to eat in the dead of night... What would he say? What could he say?
He had once practiced some silly assortments of words, many times ages ago when the ache in his heart for you became too much to bear and he thought maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t too selfish to ask to come back into your life. He would come up with ways to explain why he’d decided it was better to remove himself from your life altogether over putting aside more time for you, or to explain that he’d made the decision for both of you in order to free you to be loved properly by someone else. 
But the more time passed, the more ridiculous it seemed for him to try to ask you to forgive him for breaking your heart, and now three years had gone by. 
Was three years enough time for you to forgive him for ending things without explanation? Or for moving out of your apartment while you stayed over your best friend’s house for an entire weekend so that he wouldn’t see you cry?
Ushijima took another sip of his coffee. He was overthinking it; the similar address was just a happenstance. You had probably long since moved on from that apartment just like you’d moved on from him.
---
Paper plates, forks, knives and napkins were set aside on your living room table, and you’d cleaned out the patio to allow for more space on the thankfully warm spring evening. Iwa had rushed out with a kiss on the cheek to go get some ice after helping you set up everything, and now you were waiting, hotpot soup base boiling on the stove.
You’d finished just a half an hour before six, and you leaned over the kitchen counter to browse through your text messages. One had just popped up from your friend before you heard an early knock on the front door.
Surprised at the prospect of someone showing up early, you put down your phone and sauntered over, and without even checking the keyhole to see who was standing there, you swung open the door wide, cheerfully giving a warm “Welcome!”, only to find yourself staring your ex-boyfriend in the face.
There was a pause where it seemed like everything that kept your heart beating and your neurons firing had turned off for the split second it took you to recognize him. This was disregarding the fact that he too looked like all the blood had drained from his face when he also realized you were standing right before him. 
“___…,” he pronounced in shock.
The sound of his voice calling your name made your heart pound and your head pound and quickly, impulsively, you moved to slam the door.
Reflexively, he blocked it with his palm, not meaning it as aggression, but spurred by the fear of immediately being locked right back out of your life, where he belonged.
“Wait, can we please talk?”
The desperate tinge to his voice was too much to bear.
It had been three fucking years! Why now?
But instead of forcing the door closed against him again, you found yourself running into your bedroom and locking the door behind you, heart pounding in your ribcage in a frenzy. It was hard to think, maybe you were being a little bit too dramatic, but you couldn’t help the panic pumping through your veins.
Relax, relax, relax.
Ushijima, too, immediately forgot that this was no longer his home.
Even if he knew this place like the back of his hand, he recognized the same sofa in the center of the living room, where he’d held you and had you just like every other place in this wretched space, it was no longer his.
It didn’t stop him from breaching the entrance without your invitation, boldly following after you just to knock on the bedroom door that kept you safe and secure, begging for your attention.
“Please, ___. Please, can we talk?”
It didn’t take a genius to realize that he was in fact in the right place, this was his - no, your shared apartment - and traces of another man, Iwaizumi, were all over it.
Your voice was choked up in your throat but you weren’t yet crying, however you were terribly frustrated. Frustrated that three years after a breakup you were taking shelter in your own bedroom all because your ex showed up at your door. Frustrated that he wasn’t being mean, but instead he was being kind; in fact, you were worried there was a wisp of something more you could see in the pained look he had on first regard.
Too much.
Ushijima knocked again.
“Please.”
The correct thing to do would be to face him properly and ask him to take a seat and maybe if you were feeling extra generous, ask him how he was doing politely, limiting yourself to polite conversation, but instead you didn’t say a single word, biting your lip to hold back anger and hurt.
Three years and you were still like this.
“___!”
His voice raised this time, and again the desperation was clear and tugging at your heartstrings, but you would be damned if you were going to move from this spot. He didn’t bang on the door though - Ushijima always had too much self control to do anything fear-provoking out of anger, but he let out a heavy sigh you could hear directly from the other side of the door.
“I’m sorry-” 
Whatever he planned to say was cut short by the slam of the front door and Iwa’s harsh voice yelling, “What the fuck are you doing?”
Your eyes grew wide as you heard the shuffle of quick moving feet and the thud of bodies hitting the wall, and then you realized that what this looked like was way worse than it actually was.
You fumbled to unlock the door only to see Ushijima pressed against the wall, hands to his side but fists clenched as though he were deciding whether to fight back; you could tell Iwa had already landed a heavy blow from the red spot blooming on his face, and the fact that Iwa still had a solid grip on the collar of Ushijima’s shirt, his fist still dangerously close to his face.
“Hajime!” You yelled, pulling at his arm. “Stop!”
He resisted your plea for him to stop initially, and you could tell he was seething even if he was still. Who wouldn’t be, if they thought their girlfriend was being accosted in their own space?
“T-toshi wasn’t going to do anything… we’re exes.”
Exes?
Iwa gave you a blank look, taking in the info all at once, but what stunned him the most at this very instant was the painfully familiar way you’d said Ushijima’s name.

ಌ i mildly like you more than like (p.3)
— in which an incessant fan girl, a kiss, and a little bit of denial makes oikawa tooru realize he might mildly like you more than like
Tumblr media
description. you’ve been in love with oikawa tooru for longer than you can remember. having known him for the better part of nearly 11 years, you’ve come to accept that you’ll never be more than a best friend to him. but with the help of a few irritatingly persistent fangirls and a kiss that was only meant to drive them away, a tale of unrequited love might just prove to be something more. 
oikawa tooru x f!reader, fluff, angst, childhood best friends to lovers
word count. 4.5k
parts. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
note. this was only supposed to be a three part story but it keeps getting away from me 🧍🏻‍♀️ anyways i hope you guys like this chapter 😼
Oikawa tries to deny the way his heart skips a beat every time you’re around, he really does. He tries to ignore that his eyes constantly move to wherever you are in a room (though he feels as if maybe he’s always done that, but he tries not to dwell on it). He tries to ignore the incessant pull towards you and how he always finds himself reaching for your hand when he shouldn’t. But he’s not daft. He knows that something’s changed, and he knows that it’s something big. 
But he’s not quite ready to admit it - not yet. There’s one more thing he has to make sure of. 
That’s how he gets here - staring at the small letter that he holds between his fingertips and for the first time in months, debates whether or not he should accept this confession. He hasn’t accepted a confession since his ex-girlfriend, Yua had broken up with him and he hadn’t thought he would be accepting another any time in the next year. 
Yet here he is, staring at the girl in front of him and wondering if it’s worth it. He just wants to know for sure. He wants to know that what he feels for you isn’t stimulated by something false that his mind had tricked him into, because if there was anything that scared him more than his own failure, it was the thought of losing you as a best friend.
He knows that he shouldn’t do this to the girl that’s looking up at him hopefully with brown eyes full of adoration. She’s pretty, with bob-length hair and well-cut bangs to go along with a petite build and soft curves. But she’s not you, his mind immediately nags like a second instinct. He chooses to ignore it. 
He knows that it’s cruel of him to accept this confession without actually having feelings for her. He knows that by doing this he might just be living up to the stupid playboy expectation that everyone seems to place on him. 
But he needs to know. Or, if not that, he needs to forget your lips and the way you look up at him with what might be love in your eyes. He needs to, but he’s not even sure that he wants to. 
“Thank you Hishoko-san. I’m honored that you would take an interest in me. I accept your confession,” he says despite it all. The girl lights up with a megawatt smile. 
And even as he says those words, he knows that he’s making a mistake. 
Tumblr media
You feel the old feelings of heartbreak resurfacing when Oikawa bounds up to you and Iwaizumi and announces that he’s gotten a girlfriend. The familiar ache in your chest comes back, but this time with greater force. It’s the feeling of disappointment when you’ve just barely gotten a taste of something delicious before it’s rudely knocked from your hands and lost to you. How could you forget the way his lips molded against yours and the way his eyes seemed to light up just a little brighter? You decide that it’s a cruel, cruel thing for the universe to hand you hope just to snatch it right out of your hands. 
You hadn’t wanted to let hope kindle within you for this very reason. But you were always a little more lenient with your rules when it came to the boy who’d stolen your heart and ran away with it. You let yourself hope that maybe he might just give it back.
But here it is, the striking blow of truth that those fantasies exist only in your imagination. 
“Do we know her?” The bitterness that’s so very present in your tone rings over and over in your head, playing as a constant reminder to everything you’re trying to avoid feeling. You hope that Oikawa doesn’t notice the way that your stomach is churning uncomfortably when you turn and attempt to smile softly at him. 
His gaze is on Iwaizumi when he answers, so you’re safe from any interrogation for a little while. “Iwa-chan does. She was the girl that you were partners with for that lab last year.”
“Oh. Her. She’s nice,” Iwaizumi says, his voice losing the soft touch that would usually hide beneath his harsh and unkind tone towards Oikawa. It’s not hard to tell from the quiet rage in his eyes that he’s angry. 
Oikawa cocks his head, his gaze flicking from you and up to Iwaizumi. “What’s wrong Iwa-chan? You don’t seem all that enthusiastic.”
You can practically feel Iwaizumi’s eyes burning holes into the side of your head, but you refuse to meet his gaze. If you happen to look over at him, you know that your facade would break, and you aren’t quite ready to come up with an explanation on why you’re so upset with this news. Oikawa would be able to see through that in an instant. 
Finally, after a long few seconds of pointedly avoiding his eyes, Iwaizumi looks away from you and answers Oikawa shortly. “She’s nice. I don’t know much about her though.”
You know that Oikawa must’ve noticed the brief exchange between you and Iwaizumi, but from some stroke of luck, he doesn’t question it. 
He clears his throat before turning his gaze down towards you. “What about you Y/N-chan?” There’s an odd tone in his voice that makes you look up at him. He’s staring at you with searching eyes that flick between your eyes and your lips, which makes you furrow your eyebrows ever so slightly. You’re not too sure what he’s searching for. His eyes don’t leave your face as he softly asks, “Are you two acquainted?” You think that the look in his eyes is far too serious for a situation that should be light and joyous on his end. 
It takes everything in you to tear your gaze away from his. You’re afraid that if he keeps looking at you like that, you might just start to cry. “No, I don’t think we are,” you try to say without your voice cracking. 
Oikawa doesn’t seem particularly satisfied with your answer, but it seems that he can tell that neither you or Iwaizumi really want to talk about this any further. You three walk in what might be the most awkward silence in your eleven years of friendship, the air thick with tension and unsaid words. Iwaizumi squeezes your shoulder and you feel Oikawa tense from beside you when he notices the small gesture. You can’t find it in you to care about what it might look like to him at the moment. 
“I’m really going to try this time. To make sure that I don’t neglect her,” Oikawa says again after a slightly uncomfortable silence. His gaze is aimed straight-ahead, but he looks as if he’s talking more to himself than he is to you and Iwaizumi. You want nothing more than to go home and pretend that this conversation hadn’t happened. 
Oikawa doesn’t fall in love easily. You’ve seen him go through countless relationships that barely last more than a few days because he simply can’t commit to them when volleyball has been his love for nearly his whole life. You know he doesn’t mean to hurt them and that he can’t help that his interest dwindles away. The one and only time you’d ever seen him actually fall in love was with Yua, and even then even his attempts at making them work had failed. 
So hearing him say that he was going to try again - to try and make sure that he doesn’t make the mistakes he’s made countless times wrenches at the screws in your heart. You had let yourself hope. You’d let yourself go to sleep thinking of the way he looked at you after you showed him that alien plush. You let yourself smile wider at him everytime he smiled at you with this new look in his eyes that you couldn’t help but be hopeful for. You let yourself love him freely for the first time without that nagging feeling in your mind that always told you that you were nothing more than his best friend.  And now you’re finding out that perhaps you’d imagined it all, and that instead, he was falling in love with another girl that you hadn’t known about. 
“That’s amazing, Tooru. I can’t wait to meet her,” you finally say. Iwaizumi hasn’t said a word, and you know that the moment that you get a moment alone with him, he’ll be bombarding you with questions about this recent development in Oikawa’s love life. You never quite told him of your feelings for his best friend, but Iwaizumi is almost, if not more observant than Oikawa. You’re sure that he figured it out one way or another. 
That’s why you’re glad when a girl that you had been assigned an assignment with calls out to you across the hall. You don’t even say a goodbye to either of the boys walking beside you before rushing to her side.
Tumblr media
“You must be Y/N-san! Oikawa-kun tells me a lot about you!” Hishoko greets you with a smile. You two stand at nearly the same height, so you decide to pull her into a hug. Despite the way your heart aches at the sight of her standing next to Oikawa, you know that she’s done nothing wrong. She just happens to be in love with the same guy as you. You can’t fault her for that, not when you couldn’t even help yourself from falling for him.
“It’s really nice to meet you,” you say as you pull out of the hug. You look up at Oikawa to find him already watching you with a troubled look in his eyes. You decide not to think anything of it. 
Tumblr media
If there’s one thing that has never failed to cheer you up, it’s your visits to Takeru’s volleyball club. Though you have never been particularly gifted at volleyball, you’ve managed to pick up on the basics with help from Oikawa and Iwaizumi over the years. 
“Y/N!” You smile brightly when you see Takeru standing next to Oikawa as you enter the gym. He runs up to you and you crouch down so that he can wrap his smaller arms around your neck. Oikawa trails after his nephew with a relaxed smile on his lips. 
You can’t help but let your gaze linger on him. He’s wearing a mint blue shirt and joggers in the Aoba Johsai volleyball team colors, a combination that was always one of your favorites on him (not that you’d ever let him know that). His hair is tousled and he’s slightly flushed from warming up with the kids that came early, though it only adds his blessed good looks. With an ache in your heart, you think that he might just be the most beautiful person on the Earth. 
After sending a small smile and nod in Oikawa’s direction, you pull slightly out of Takeru’s hold while still keeping your hands on his shoulders. He’s wearing a bright grin when he says the last thing you were expecting him to say. “Just promise not to kiss him in front of me okay? I don’t want to get either of your cooties.”
You blink at Takeru. “What?” You lock eyes with Oikawa, who seems to have an equally shocked look on his face. For a moment you feel as if everything else in the world has drowned out except for the mild hitch in Oikawa’s breathing when he hears what Takeru says.
“Takeru, what are you going on about?” There’s a mild discomfort in his voice.
“You said you got a new girlfriend and that she’s coming to the club today. Y/N always goes to the club so it has to be her! Right?”
For a second you feel as if you might just run out of the gym doors and never come back. You genuinely consider it, already thinking about what ice cream flavor you’ll be gouging on when you get home. But then you remember that doing that would probably lead to a lot of questions on Oikawa’s part, so you decide against it. 
Before you can formulate a response, Oikawa does it for you. “No, no. Not Y/N, Takeru.” He says it with a nervous laugh to his voice, but his eyes keep darting towards you. Your attempt at laughing with him sounds far too high-pitched. You’re very well aware of the fact that Oikawa knows that too. 
At a pace that would have surprised others, Oikawa seems to shed all nervousness and instead lets a joking lilt enter his voice as he puts a hand on Takeru’s shoulder and says, “Besides, neither of us have cooties, where ever did you get that idea?” 
You think back to his lips and how they most definitely did not have cooties. And even if he did, you would happily contract all the cooties in the world if it meant that you could kiss Oikawa’s lips whenever you wanted. You feel your face heat up at the thought of it. 
“One, you do have cooties ‘Kawa. And two, Takeru, you’ll love Hishoko-san. She’s very nice,” you say without looking at Oikawa. You don’t give either of them time to respond to anything you said before you stand up and pat your thighs. “I’m gonna go say hi to the other kids, if that’s okay with you, munchkin?”
As you turn to leave, Oikawa calls out from behind you. “Don’t go around defacing my name when you get there, Y/N-chan!”
“No promises, Cootiekawa!” You smile to yourself for coming up with that nickname on the fly, as childish as it is. 
“Don’t call me that!”
The little kids are bound with excitement when you walk up to them, all smiles and excited hellos. It’s funny really, how much admiration these kids have for both you and Oikawa. It warms your heart. 
By the time Hishoko walks in, you’re getting the cart of volleyballs ready after sending the kids off to get a drink of water. She looks entirely too beautiful in a flowy dress that highlights her features and you’re torn between feeling jealous that she and Oikawa make a gorgeous couple and feeling understanding that she was the one that Oikawa had fallen in love with. You send her the most convincing smile you can muster when she notices you and waves. 
When you have to turn away as Oikawa presses a kiss to Hishoko’s cheek, you’re met with a sight behind you that isn’t any more comforting. 
“Hey Y/N!” 
Kaoru is walking up to you, his hand clasped around a bashful-looking young boy. He still looks at you with the smile he used to wear when you were together, and you wish that he wouldn’t. Not when the reason you broke up with him for is standing just a few meters away from the both of you (not that either of them knew that). 
Despite that, you still manage a smile. “Kaoru, hey! What are you doing here?”
“Well, my cousin here started getting into volleyball, and I thought about this club. You used to go on and on about how much fun you had teaching the kids here and I thought that he might enjoy it.”
You have your hands wrapped around the volleyball that’s pressed against your midsection, feeling your stomach drop at his words. On paper, Kaoru might be considered your perfect match, but by some cruel dealing, your heart seems hell-bent on falling instead for the one guy that might never even look at you with more than platonic love in his eyes. You wish that you could’ve found it in you to fall in love with Kaoru instead.
“That’s thoughtful of you.” He seems to stand a little straighter as you say it. You try not to notice. “I’m more of a helper though. ‘Kawa’s the one that does the teaching most days. He’s over th-” You turn to point towards where Oikawa was standing and feel the words die on your lips. 
Oikawa’s already walking towards you with Takeru and Hishoko trailing behind him. He’s wearing what might be a friendly smile to anyone else, but you’ve seen it enough times to know that it’s a little too forced to be friendly. It’s the same smile he wears when he gets insanely competitive right before a volleyball game and is looking to intimidate his opponents. It’s the smile he uses when greeting Kageyama and Ushijima. It looks even more passive aggressive since he’s holding a volleyball against his hips. 
“Y/N-chan, who’s this?” You’re relieved that he’s using the amiable voice he uses to be friendly with strangers, but he still looks as if he hopes that Kaoru might just disappear if he just stares at him hard enough. 
“This is Kaoru’s cousin.” You look down at the boy. “I’m sorry, I never did catch your name.”
“I’m Kousuke, it’s nice to meet you. Kaoru says you’re really nice.”
“Oh I’m sure he does,” you hear Oikawa mutter under his breath. It’s so quiet that you might have imagined it because in the next second, his usually preppy demeanor is once again put up. “Hello there, I’m Oikawa,” he says kindly to Kaoru’s cousin. When he looks up at Kaoru though, his smile turns to sweetened acid. “Glad you brought him here. Who better to teach this young boy here but me? Isn’t that right Takeru? Your friends seem to be fond of me and my exceptional volleyball skills.”
Takeru looks up at Oikawa with a confused look. “No they don’t.”
“Takeru,” Oikawa says while fixing a stare at his nephew. Takeru seems to lose his attitude. 
“Uh, yeah I guess they do?”
“See! The kids love me! I’m practically their idol! They love my serve actually, always begging me to teach them. It’s a pretty hard serve though, so they really haven’t gotten the hang of it. You’ve seen my serve though, haven’t you Kaoru-kun?”
“It’s okay. I do remember that you hit it into the net the last time I came to watch with Y/N,” Kaoru shrugs. 
Oikawa practically growls. “I’d like to see you receive one of my serves.”
“I’d be more than happy to try.” Kaoru smiles, but you can’t tell if it’s genuine or just as passive aggressive as Oikawa’s. 
Oikawa lets out a low chuckle, and you force yourself to not look physically affected by it. You remind yourself that his girlfriend is standing right behind him. “I’m sure you would. Though most people struggle to do so, I wouldn’t want to injure you,” he says while moving the volleyball back and forth in his hands. 
Kousuke and Takeru look up at them with confused looks on their faces. Hishoko looks mildly bashful at what might be her first look at the Oikawa that’s not all sunshines and daisies. You’re merely wondering what’s caused all this tension. As far as you were aware, Oikawa and Kaoru weren’t on extremely bad terms. 
Kaoru flicks a look between you and Oikawa. “You’re pretty cocky aren’t you?”
“Not cocky. Just confident. I’m one of the best setters in the prefecture. Isn’t that right Y/N?” Oikawa turns to look at you and the passive aggressive look in his eyes turns to something more genuine. 
You shake your head, letting out a small laugh. “Yeah yeah, sure. Whatever. Stop showing off, ‘Kawa.”
“I’m not showing off!” There’s just barely a hint of humility in his voice. 
You raise a brow at him. He seems to wilt under your gaze. 
“I’m not,” he mumbles. 
You tilt your head in the direction of the kids getting ready on the court. “Come on. You have kids to teach. Stop picking fights.” You’re also more than ready to get away from Kaoru’s gaze. 
Oikawa doesn’t seem to be quite ready to teach though. “Why would I be picking fights?” His gaze is leveled on you.
You fake confusion as you stare right back at him. You want to remind him that there are others around you. “I don’t know, Tooru. Why would you?”
The air seems to still with tension. 
Thankfully, Takeru comes to your rescue. “Hey, Y/N? Do you think we should start now?” 
“Yeah, of course, Takeru.” You turn to Oikawa. “Receives. You take the older ones. Kousuke can be in your group.”
Tumblr media
To both yours and Oikawa’s displeasure, Kaoru sticks around for the entirety of the club. He sits on the side with Hishoko and makes teasing comments to both you and Kousuke, almost like no time has passed since your break-up. 
It’s not that you harbor any harsh feelings for him. It’s just that you’re a little on edge with Oikawa and Hishoko here already, and now for some reason, it seems as if Oikawa and Kaoru are looking to off each other. 
“Good job today, Y/N-chan,” Oikawa says as he helps you put the volleyballs back in the cart. Despite the rough beginning, the day still went relatively well, especially when Oikawa landed a particularly nasty serve that got all the kids hyped and excited for the next time you’d be meeting. 
“Mhm. You too.”
Oikawa sighs. “You’re mad.” It’s not a question. 
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
He places the last volleyball back into the cart and closes it before turning to look at you. “Look, I’m sorry for that.”
“You should be,” you reply. “What got stuck up your ass that made you act like that anyway?”
“Nothing.”
You raise a brow at him.
“I’m just stressed. Team chemistry is on edge with Kyoutani back on the team ... amongst other things.”
It’s a half-truth. You can tell by the way his eyes divert from yours when he airily says “other things”. 
You lean against the cart to turn your body in his direction. “What are other things?”
“Other things,” he replies without looking at you. He’s leaning against the cart with his back to the metal rather than to his side, so all you’re met with is his side-profile. 
“So you’re not gonna tell me?” You’re a little miffed. 
He turns to look at you, his brown eyes boring into you. “I’m not the only one with secrets Y/N-chan.”
You feel your stomach drop, your head immediately thinking of everything he might’ve found out. Maybe he’s aware of the way you’re in love with him. Maybe he’s known this whole time and was just keeping you around in an act of pity. Your breathing seems to still at that possibility. 
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
This time, Oikawa moves so that he can turn to you fully, though his eyes don’t look any less intense. “The other day, with Iwa-chan. What was going on there?”
Your breathing returns. At least he doesn’t know. 
“Nothing.”
“Though so.” He looks mildly hurt. 
Before the conversation can stray into tense territory, Hishoko walks up to you two. You’re surprised to see that Kaoru and his cousin are following behind her. “Hey Oikawa, I was wondering if we could check out the sweet shop across the street?”
You want to tell her that Oikawa hates that shop. He took one step into it and complained about how their candy assortment was horrendous. You want to tell her that Oikawa would much rather go to the frozen yogurt shop that’s a few blocks away, but you don’t. It was sort of a tradition for you, Oikawa, and Takeru to head over there after the kid’s volleyball club had ended. It might be selfish to do so, but the thought of her completely replacing you in that sense makes your heart ache. 
“Huh?” Oikawa turns to look at her. “Oh. Right, sure.”
You place your hands on the cart, making to move it back into the storage closet. You don’t want to be around for the rest of the conversation. 
Oikawa notices what you’re doing and interrupts. “Y/N-chan? You want to come with?”
Stupid. You wonder if he’s asking because he really has no idea what the norms of a relationship are, or if he truly sees you as nothing more than just a sister if he’s more than willing to ask you to go with him on what could be a pseudo date with his girlfriend. 
“No, it’s fine. You have fun.”
You’re about to wheel away without waiting for a response when Kaoru hesitantly speaks up. “Y/N, are you walking home alone then?”
“Yeah, I guess so. Though I could probably take a bus home if needed.”
Kaoru beams, his teeth flashing in a perfect smile. “Kousuke and I were planning on heading to this yogurt shop we saw before we got here. I can take you home after if you want to come with us.” His hands are stuffed in his pockets as he rocks back and forth on the heels of his shoe. 
You can practically hear the way that Oikawa’s jaw clenches. You make a mental note to bring him a loaf of milk bread the next time you have a shift at the bakery in hopes of easing whatever stress he’s holding on to. 
Kaoru’s still looking at you expectantly. You weigh your options. You can either go with your ex-boyfriend and his cousin to get frozen yogurt and have him take you home after, or you can walk home alone. Despite what the implications of the first choice might have, it’s still an easy choice. 
“Yeah, sure. Let Tooru and I just clean up. I’ll meet you outside.”
Both Kaoru and Kousuke nod before heading out. Hishoko and Takeru follow them shortly after.
“You didn’t tell Hishoko that you despise that shop,” you say. The two of you had just finished hauling the volleyball net back into the equipment closet. 
“I didn’t want to disappoint her.”
“Hm,” you hum. “You … you like her a lot then?”
Oikawa pauses in his place, and you realize that you’re both standing much too close for comfort. His eyes wander your face again, like he’s searching for something. “Maybe. It’s too early to tell.”
You hate the way that your stomach churns because it really is unfair that he can look at you like that and not feel the same way you do. You take a step back and move to pick up your bag on the side of the bleachers. Oikawa follows close behind. 
When you both get to the gym doors, Kaoru and his cousin are standing by a tree to the right, and Hishoko and Takeru are standing by the pillar to the left. 
Oikawa turns to you once more, his voice sounding mildly fatigued. “Have fun with Kaoru.”
You attempt a smile. “Have fun with Hishoko.”
And with that, you both split off, heading in the direction of the two people waiting for you two. Neither of you voice out loud that you would much rather be with the other.

Kuroo & Oikawa thinking their boyfriend’s gonna break up with them
Kuroo Tetsurou
Tumblr media
ok
ok ok
kuroo is a mature fully capable intelligent adult, he can handle this
he can handle this in a totally mature way too without needing to blow it out of proportion or get too caught up in his own head
no he can’t
that’s a lie
he’s panicking
he doesn’t know what to do
you haven’t been talking to him much
and whenever you did it was just yes or no responses
you don’t treat him like you used too 
you weren’t giving him any sort of attention as of late
AND HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG
did he do something?
did he say something?
did he forget an important date?
he has no clue
he went through your past conversations before This Change happened and he couldn’t find a single thing that would prompt this kind of behaviour from you
and thus, he landed on the only possible explanation
you were bored with him
you changed your mind about him
and you were building this distance between you in order to send him hints and get him used to being without you so you could let him down ””easy””
fuck
"KENMAAAAAA I’M ABOUT TO BE BOYFRIEND-LESS AND THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT HELP MEE” 
“just talk to him kuroo” 
“and what??? speed up the process of him breaking up with me?? nO” 
kuroo’s decided to deal with this the one way he knows how
he’ll just have to sweep you off your feet
again
so that’s how operation “Make Y/N Fall For Me: Pt.2″ was born
needless to say, kenma and yaku thought he was being absolutely ridiculous 
bokuto thought it was genius though 
“i always knew there was a reason i liked you bokuto”
so for the following week, kuroo has been nothing but EXTRA flirtatious and loving
he brought you small gifts that he thought you’d like
he was extra touchy and cuddly 
he kissed you more frequently and held you close to him longer than usual
when you first noticed his increased attentiveness you thought it was strange and your first reaction was “what did you do?” because you assumed he was trying to appease you so you wouldn't be mad at him for breaking your laptop or something of the sort 
but he insisted it was nothing like that so you let it slide
near the end of the week, kuroo had asked you on a friday date night!
at first, you had refused because “kuroo you had matches every day of this week you should rest over the weekend”
but for some reason he couldn’t pinpoint, your refusal to go out on a date with him, combined with your odd behaviour from before made him panic 
so he grabbed your hand and damn near begged you to go out with him
“come on y/n, please. i want to do this i wouldn't have asked if i was too tired or something yeah? i want to spend time together”
you caught on to the underlying sense of desperation for him, which concerned you greatly.
so of course, you agreed and thankfully he relaxed immediately after
during your date, kuroo would be as charming as ever   
maybe even try a little too hard but it was kind of adorable.
as nice and flattering as it all was, it did nothing but further your suspicion that something was definitely amiss 
so on your way back home from your date, you decided to confront him about it 
kuroo, knowing he couldn’t lie to you and get away with it, told you everything
you were really caught off guard by what he told you
but also?? super super delighted that kuroo had gone above and beyond to make you wanna stay with him
even though you never really planned on leaving in the first place
it was very sweet
it just made you fall for him even more
him going to such lengths just showed how much he cared for you and how much he loved you 
you were deeply touched 
you, of course, told him all that
and also ensured him that you never planned on leaving 
things were getting too stressful, you needed some space so you subconsciously started pulling away from people 
you hadn’t meant to worry him
kuroo was SO SO RELIEVED 
it was like a dreadful weight just lifted off his shoulders 
he laughed at the whole situation honestly, wrapped his arms around your waist and spun you around before kissing you lovingly on the lips out of joy
and also just to solidify his intentions of not letting go of you anytime soon
or hopefully never
Oikawa Tooru
Tumblr media
he deals with it like most every other issue he deals with
denial
just
denial through and through
nope
no way
not happening 
not possible 
everyboDY SHUT UP 
god 
G O D  HE WAS SO STRESSED 
and he would not be able to hide it for shit 
when oikawa is nervous it shows
he just has these little mannerisms than give it away 
now iwaizumi was the first to notice he’s been tense so he asked
and oikawa just unleashed 
he whined and whined about you possibly breaking up with him but then he’d turn around and deny it in the same breath 
he’s trying to convince himself this isn’t happening 
“i mean there’s no way y/n-chan would leave me right??”
“it doesn’t make sense i don’t think i gave him a reason to suddenly dislike me !!!”
“we were fine until recently !!”
“more than fine even!!!”
“i mean sure i’m often preoccupied with volleyball practice and that sometimes limits the time we can spend together  and yeah ok maybe he would want someone who can offer more of their time to him and take him on nice dates every weekend like he deserves and maybe he just wants someone who’s more stable and doesn’t have a career that requires them to travel a lot and maybe he wants to be with someone who can make him feel like their relationship is steady and balanced and not always on the verge of being a long distanced one most time  but that doesn’t mean he wants to break up right??!?”
he’ll just dig himself this hole and not get out of it 
now
in reality 
you could be just a little under the weather
just feeling drained & low on energy because Life Makes You Like That Sometimes 
but Oikawa had convinced himself you’re starting to see how flimsy your relationship can be due to his choice of career and are now reconsidering being with him 
Iwaizumi, being The Voice of Reason™, had told him that that’s a load of bullshit
you had known what you were getting yourself into when you got into a relationship with oikawa, but had done it regardless
“so stop being a dumbass and just go explain to him what you’re upset over so he can tell you you’re wrong and i can gloat about how i’m always right”
and oikawa had wanted to do just that
really he did
but anytime he saw you now his stomach flipped nervously and he gets all clammy
he knows he should talk to you about it but [Anxiety]
oikawa has a lot of self-doubts no matter how hard he tries to act like he doesn’t
so the thought of upsetting you due to him lacking as a boyfriend didn’t help him
and as much as he tried to tell himself he’ll talk to you about it he’ll talk to you about it
as a defense mechanism, his self-doubts and anxiety subconsciously had him pulling away from you 
you can’t pull away from him if he pulls away first right?
by the time that you got back on your own two feet you had wanted to talk to oikawa and apologize to him for being distant lately 
but he wasn’t giving you the chance 
he wasn’t outright ignoring you but he was definitely avoiding you 
you deduced that he was upset at you for being so distant lately and the guilt swallowed you whole 
it was just an ugly mental battle within yourselves that convinced you the other has had enough of you
so neither of you was talking to the other now, or even attempting to which just made things woRSE and it was just     no
iwaizumi, god bless his soul, decided it was time for a major intervention beCAUSE HE CAN’T STAND SEEING YOU TWO BEING SULKY LITTLE SHITS AND NOT COMMUNICATING BECAUSE YOU BOTH DECIDED FOR YOURSELVES THAT THE OTHER WAS BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU 
he forcefully sat you both down and had you talk it out 
you literally owe him everything because he single-handedly saved you guys’ relationship
after removing all the misunderstandings between you two and after a whole lot of Physical Affection to make up for lost time 
you and oikawa were back on track with your relationship
you both have to work on communicating your doubts 
but hey 
baby steps
also, iwaizumi got to gloat

Haikyuu Hugs pt 2:
AOBA JOHSAI:
Oikawa Tooru: 
Really affectionate and clingy, will beg you for hugs with NO. SHAME.
He’s definitely a running fingers through hair and burying his face in your clothes, hair, back, shoulders etc kind of guy
So many little kisses!
He’s the sort of hugger who picks you up; he either lifts you so that you can wrap your legs around his waist or he’ll place you on a table or countertop, especially if you’re a lot shorter than him, just so you can be at equal level
Also likes to rest his chin on top of your head and hug you from behind while you’re working or doing something else (washing up, cooking, etc)
Might grab your butt if he’s feeling particularly teasing, but definitely won’t if the hug is just so you can hold each other
Likes to do fairy kisses (idk what they’re called, this is just what my family calls them) when he flutters his eyelashes against your cheek, it makes you both giggle
Will fall asleep while laying across your stomach
Likes to hug you when wearing an enormous fluffy dressing gown, he’ll wrap you in it and snuggle
Has leapt into your arms at some point for a hug... you dropped him. He’s not going to stop trying though!
Lightheartedness aside, he knows to come to you for cuddles or hugs when he’s feeling down, you’ve often had hug sessions when he feels inadequate as a setter, or if he’s feeling insecure
Pouts when he wants hugs
Iwaizumi Hajime:
Wraps you in his big, muscley arms (the dream of many of us, I’m sure)
This man is SUCH a secure hugger, it’s amazing, he just folds you into his embrace and you never want to let go
Warm hugs and tight hugs, like a comfy straight jacket
He always knows when you want to let go... it is rare that you want to
The kind of hug that’s like instant stress relief, side effects include:
Falling asleep
Dozing
Relaxing all of the muscles you didn’t know were tensed
Bursting into tears because you’re actually really stressed or worried and the hug was just the trigger for you to let it all out
He likes to give you massages, all you have to do is curl up on the sofa with him to watch television or read or anything and he’ll lean against the side, place you in front on him, all stretched out across the length of the cushions, and just massage your back, neck and shoulders (you don’t know what you’d do without him)
His hugs are so warm that you just hug him as a replacement for a jumper or hot water bottle... sometimes you just don’t turn the heating on. Really. His skin is a radiator!
Unconscious squeezes
Squeezes in general, he’ll squeeze your waist or shoulder walking past, pull you to his side and give you a squeeze, sit with you and just give you a quick squeeze, it’s adorable
You know he wants a hug because he gets slightly clingy but won’t admit it to your face
Sometimes huffs playfully or teases you when hugging you, you know he loves you though
(Seriously though this boy’s muscles are perfect huggers)
Matsukawa Issei:
Tall boy hugs (I mean, depending on what you think is tall - he’s 6′2″ that is enormous to me)
This guy actually really likes jokes so you bet he’ll hug you and then absolutely WREAK the atmosphere by whispering the cheesiest jokes into your ears
You: Yay warm hug time! ~ Mattsun: what does a cheese say when it looks in the mirror? Halloumi!
Easygoing hugs, pretty casual... he uses you as an armrest at random moments
He likes to hug you from behind as well, sneaking up and putting his head on yours, long arms draped over your shoulders
Likes to tell you about all of the stupid stuff Oikawa did throughout the day while you snuggle
Back of the neck kisser 
Hanamaki Takahiro:
If you compliment his hugs, he will either awkwardly blush and go weird or be super cool and suave but be dying inside... no in-betweens
He’s a lot calmer than his fellow teammates and so, if you’re really tired and stressed, he is definitely the go-to person to hug
He will stand there and hold you for a while, perfectly still, so you can listen to his heartbeat
Has a habit of sitting on tables, he’ll lift himself onto one and ask you sit with him and then he’ll pull you to his side and urge you to tell him about your day
Lukewarm hugs... not cold but not warm either... if tepid water was a hug
He likes it if you kiss the top of his head
Yahaba Shigeru:
This may seems surprising to some, but Yahaba is BIG on PDA
He loves to show you, and your relationship, off to others, be it teammates, other teams or even random strangers
How does he do this you ask? He’ll walk up to you (literally even mid-conversation) and hug you. Not a casual sidelean, not a sweet little waist or shoulder squeeze, no no, the WHOLE NINE YARDS! One moment you’re talking to a friend and the next thing you know, he’s behind you, yanking you to his chest and squeezing the life out of you
Sometimes, if he’s being clingy, he’ll turn you around so you’re facing him
He would turn you around more but you told him not to because it’s rude if you’re talking to someone
You two always walk with an arm around each other’s waist
When it’s just the two of you, he’s a lot calmer, very much into forehead kisses while hugging you, your hands resting lightly on his chest
He actually really likes it when you fiddle with his hair, you tend to twist that curl at the front around your fingers
If you’re ever down on yourself, he snaps and forcefully grabs you into the tightest and most aggressively loving hug of your LIFE
Watari Shinji:
Watari is very gentle and encouraging, and that shows through his hugs
As a libero he’s very perceptive, learning exactly where the ball is going to go and having to devise how to receive it
Therefore, that skill bled into his relationships, and he can tell immediately when something has you upset or worried
His solution? Cuddles!
The two of you like to cuddle sitting down, leaning against each other, you sitting on his lap, blankets, stretched out over one another, everything
He has a habit of tapping out little rhythms on whatever body part of yours is closest to him
Face nuzzles
You like patting his head because his hair is fun to touch
But really, if he sees you’re sad, he’ll take your hand and gently lead you somewhere, sitting you down and just pulling you into a warm embrace where you eventually spill everything that’s bothering you
Sometimes his perceptiveness is unnerving, it seems he knows how you feel before you do (happened to me today... weird experience) but that just means that the two of you love away those nasty feelings before they even take root
Kyoutani Kentarou:
MAD DOG! TIGHT HUGS!
I do sort of think that he can give soft hugs too but they are special, you know... reserved for mental breakdowns
He’s pretty aggressive but he’s DEFINITELY not a bad person - he will hug you if you want it!
His hugs, as aforementioned, are tight! as! his steely arm muscles! 
He will drag you to him and crush you against his chest, you both just squeeze each other like your lives depend on it
He is especially like that after matches, you run over to congratulate him and he just grabs you, hugs you and then throws you into the air
When you’re together, he is softer
You fiddle with each other’s fingers and he often crosses his legs before plonking you in his lap and possessively curling around you, arms circling your waist and squeezing, chin in the crook between your neck and collarbone
Sometimes he likes to smother you with kisses while holding your back to his chest... just *kisskisskisskiss* at the speed of light, crook of neck, elbow, head, face, stomach just aggressive fast kisses and you love it because it tickles and he always blushes a lot after doing it
If you ask for a hug he might make a sort of growly huff noise and ‘reluctantly’ side hug you (he loves it really) 
He likes to completely relax and flop over the sofa, taking up the entire length with his feet dangling off of the end and let you lie on top, falling asleep to the rumble of his chest while he strokes your hair and watches TV
Kindaichi Yuutarou: 
Kindaichi the sweetheart is very soft and so are his hugs
He is also a tall boy, a very tall boy, so you often just hug while facing each other
He likes to pat your head, back or hands gently while hugging you
Sometimes he says little sweet things so you’ll be hugging and he’ll just say quietly that you look very nice that day and then blush extremely hard
He rests his head in your lap while you’re doing something and he’s lying down
When he does this, you like to squish his hair flat to see how it looks, he doesn’t understand that he looks like an onion
He gives very warm hugs too, very good very nice
Sometimes he hunches over to bury his face in your shoulder, he does this for two reasons
It’s either because he loves how you smell and just loves how comfy your shoulders are
The other option is that he’s beating himself up over what happened between him and Kageyama, thinking that, since Hinata is able to hit the ‘king’s toss’ that it wasn’t Kageyama’s fault for being too demanding but his for just being a useless player
Your hugs always cheer him up when he feels like that
The reverse is also very possible, feel sad? Hug Kindaichi, you’ll cheer up!
You two are definitely snugglers and pyjama people, lots of late night movies that end in falling asleep on each other
Kunimi Akira:
So Kunimi is lean and therefore pretty skinny
That in no way means that he isn’t a good hugger
You two don’t hug that often and definitely not around other people
He is the ✨epitome✨ of lazy hugs, think of him like a boneless rubber chicken, he just droops onto you, arms dangling and long legs and torso melting onto you, whatever position you’re in (usually hunched over working)
He also is the master the casual arm sling around your hips, and the elbow on head
When you two actually hug properly, standing, he doesn’t pull you in or have his arms tight, he just has his fingers loosely interlocked, hands resting just above your butt while your have your arms looped around his neck, his head in your hair
Falls asleep on you a lot, you’ll be leaning on each other and, next thing you know, he’s dropped right off to sleep 
Soft snores 🥺
He nuzzles into your stomach unconsciously while he’s sleeping
Literally any time he’s tired, he’ll trudge over to you and lay his head on yours, sighing
BONUS:
Idk why I put him with Seijoh but I can’t be bothered to write for his entire team
Hyakuzawa Yuudai: 
VERY VERY VERY TALL BOY! VERY TALL! VERY! I JUST ABOUT COME UP TO THIS MAN’S STERNUM!
So his height makes him an optimal hugger, you can take so much comfort in the safety he makes you feel
And guess what? He’s also a very sweet guy so EXTRA SPECIAL
I honestly love him, he’s very soft-spoken and calm, he likes to whisper little endearments to you while you hug
His favourite thing is when you stand on a stool, chair or table in order to be at equal height (or near enough) with him so you can look into each other’s eyes when you hug
He sometimes just picks you up instead
He’s also very respectful and polite so you better believe that he always makes sure that you’ve had a good day and hugs you in whatever way you need
If you’re sitting down, he just w r a p s his very long legs around you and you sit in his lap, reading, watching something, drawing, playing a game or whatever, his arms are around you and in front so you can do things together

🤍Hewwo can I order a strawberry milk (haikyuu!!) pls! ~ my preferred gender is male!
I’m 5’5 1/2 with tan skin with eczema (a rash skin condition) and very dark brown eyes and black, straight shoulder length hair and sadly pretty small and slim, I’m an INTP and a Capricorn, I don’t talk much with people I don’t know since I’m nervous when I make new friends but when I’m with my family or close friends I get pretty loud and talkative in a good way and bad way. I love to draw as my hobby and my job to sell my art as well and I love listening to many different genres music as long it sounds good lmao to me, my friends and family considers me as a human gremlin/badass (I feel like I’m not making any sense lol) also my friend thought of me as a kinda-tsundere-ish???I’m also pretty lazy, I have 2 people as my close friends but it’s better than me being with a lot of people. Another hobby I do is martial arts and boxing with my dad (practicing self defense) that I enjoy doing as well! I’m also competitive but also sadly emotional which I’m a sucker for movies and anime. ✨Finished!✨ Thank you for reading this! I luv the works I do!! ❤️

It all started with Oikawa of course. He saw you walking in the halls and he knew it was your first day bcs not only where you a new pretty face but you were hopelessly lost 💀 he turned to Iwaizumi and basically dragged him in your direction. He instantly just started to talking to you like you guys had been friends your whole life and you were so confused on why these 2 really good looking guys just randomly walked up to you. But you mainly noticed the little porcupine next to him that was red as ever and looking... angry?
This wonderful first interaction obviously bloomed into a wonderful friendship with these 2 idiots and they're a package with the rest of the volleyball club sooooo... ya. Of course Iwaizumi was in total denial about his feelings for you. That is until one day Oikawa decides to push you guys together. Oikawa is a natural flirt but he finally decided to take it to the next level. All throughout practice he would flirt with you nonstop. Of course that just triggered Iwaizumi and he instantly became grumpy. After practice in the locker room Iwaizumi asked Oikawa what that was all about and Oikawa hits him with the, "Well since you won't admit to your feelings I decided to shoot my shot. I'm gonna ask her out when we all walk home together." And then Iwa just broke and started telling Oikawa he couldn't do that bcs he liked you. It was Oikawas master plan it payed off when later on that night Iwa confessed and you said yes to being his girlfriend :))
Yalls relationship starts off soft and innocent with shy touches and cute compliments. But once you guys get comfortable and adjust you both open up so much to eachother it's crazy. You become more talkative and loud and Iwa absolutely adores the fact that you opened up to him this much. Plus he loves the way you get all excited during certain topics.
He to becomes excited over certain things and when he talks about them his words start to mesh together and he speeds up and in the beg of your relationship you never knew what he was saying but you got used to it now.
He definitely supports you and your art. Absolutely adores your style and can't wait to see where you go in the future. I can see you guys hanging out in eachothers room and he has some music playing in the background while you draw and he does school work. You better believe he slips in some of the Godzilla soundtrack with out you realizing.
You guys often watch movies at his house for a typical date night. You guys take turns choosing the movie, and you better believe you guys bicker very much about who has better taste in movies. I can also see you going to the gym with him often. He's a huge muscle head and was VERY impressed with your boxing and martial art skills. He jaw actually dropped when he was teaching you and you beat him up 💀 have you ever seen Iron Man 2??? The boxing scene with Natasha and Happy??? Yaaaa basically you guys.
You guys just complement eachother very well and everyone respects you guys and sees you as a power couple. ALSO you better believe you both gang up on Oikawa all the time lol

Heyo I would like to request a haikyuu match up❤️
General facts:
I'm luri a 21 old, female, hetero, ESTP/ESFP, aries, Gryffindor. I have an undercut hairstyle. (length kinda like ushijima so my profile picture isn't that accurate anymore)
Basically I'm a open and humorous person who likes to laugh :) I don't have a particular fashion style, I wear mostly everything from sweat pants and Hoodie with sneakers to mini skirt or rockabilly dress with high heals. I have no favorite color but I don't like pink...
Personality/character :
When you first meet me I am nice, polite but rather quiet. Knowing each other better I am very direct and straight out with my emotions of any kind. Whether I'm mad, sad or in a good mood. Even then I'm quite humorous. I am like an open book for most to read as you can tell by my nonverbal body language what I am like right now. I can get very aggressive and angry if someone is stupid towards me or starts a fight with me or my friends. On the other hand I speak before I think without any filter ... And I only notice that afterwards... But if someone points my inappropriate behavior out to me I would apologize immediately :)
- I'm a very helpful and nice person. I would do everything for my friends and family if they ask
- I'm a good listener. And because of my own family history I know If someone’s having a bad day and needs emotional support.
- I'm really good in organizing things
- I'm faithful and loyal. If you mess with me or my friends I will fight everyone.
- I'm to stubborn and straight forward. When I have a goal in mind, I don’t give up so easily. It can also backfire.
- I speak before I think. So I may say inappropriate in front of others...
- When I'm interested in something, sometimes I just focus on it and only want to talk about it, which can really get on others' nerves
Hobbies:
My hobbies are
producing my own little video clips or drawing,
I like to bake, and
practice my Krav Maga skills (Israeli Military Self-Defense Technique) :)
I can play violin but I don't get any lessons anymore :)
I am interested in technology especially IT and love to make, build and program things and websites myself.
I love helping with repairs on the house, but also building furniture, as well as electronics and electrics.
What I dislike about people:
-I don’t like being underestimated by my intelligence and physical strength and behaving towards me as if I were a fool.
Fun facts:
-I have an extreme visual defect (nearsightedness) + I can't see in three dimensions, so I'm kinda blind in some way xD
(if I don't wear glasses it's as if I see my surroundings as a picture...)
- so basically I'm looking for a guy who shares my humor and is able to handle/accept my flaws :) and he shouldn't underestimate me.
- I think I would go to Karasuno.
- in my opinion I'm a Iwaizumi kinnie :)
- I love movie soundtracks! the whole soundtrack, original music from the composer + epic soundtracks from two steps from hell, audiomachine, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Rachel Portman etc.  So they are my favorites(recently my favorite soundtrack is the whole haikyuu soundtrack!).
But i also have pop and rock on my playlist along with some electronic songs and classic music. So basically a bit from everything :) 
- I can't handle horror. I am a upfront person and straight forward but I'm such a softie BUT can't handle anything with horror (like movies or dungeons) xD
- in the HQ universe: I think I would be a senpai for the third years. I like the thought of visiting them for their weekend practice and film their activities :) and I'm kinda into being the older one in a relationship :) but I don't have to. But I also like the thought of being a third year and watch them play and record them. (I don't want to choose a high school, but my favorites are Karasuno, Shiratorizawa and Fukurodani. But I think I'm a Iwaizumi kinnie.)
Love language & what I look for:
- When I'm in a relationship with my boyfriend I would spoil him physically(massages) , with gifts and emotional equally (showing up ar his work place, preparing dinner, organize quality time in front of the TV with cuddling and watching favorite movies, etc.)
- I look for a guy who match with my humor or at least doesn't hate it
- I like it when guys handle my flaws and are ok with them
- I would take everything as a date. City trip, shopping if it is shopping for technology or Mangas, movie date (without horror), just stay at home :)
Soooo I hope that's not too much information, and I hope I included everything you need :)
Thank you in advance ❤️
Tumblr media
I pair you up with Ushijima Wakatoshi!
- So you used to go to Karasuno High, becoming very good friends with the volleyball team. Even after graduation, you occasionally visited the team.
- One day, when you had visited the baseball team’s practice, Hinata and Kageyama had gone on a run and hadn’t come back for while. You offered to look for them and went on your search. You found them talking to the famous number one ace in Japan. He asked you for his number after you tried to drag the boys away.
- You started texting him after that, and surprisingly, you guys quickly became friends! He found your “wear your heart on my sleeve” personality very amusing, while you found his “I swear I’m laughing on the inside” personality amusing. You guys went into a relationship pretty quickly too
- He was surprised that you were older then him- he thought you were younger at first. In fact- that’s what his teammates thought too
- Adores your talking. Since Ushijima is a man of few words, he loves listening to you talk about your recent obsessions. He find you admirable for being extroverted and finding what you love.
- He doesn’t think you have any flaws? Like he doesn’t seem to find any but even if you do have some, why would that matter? He believes that humans were meant to have flaws. And he thinks “flaws” are just “special personalities”.
- He’s surprisingly very soft and warm towards you. He says it’s because he’s comfortable around you. He tries his best to be a good boyfriend too, by always trying to spend time with you. He gives you his full attention.
- He does have humour- but he just says them in a straight face. Which makes you crack up even more.
- Loves you taking care of him. Your little massages and your little gifts make him feel fluttery inside, and poor boy doesn’t know how to react. He gets so cute when he’s silently flustered.
Overall you guys are both very straightforward and dominating couple, where each of your teams make fun of you guys for being whipped at each other :)
Scenario: First meeting!
‘Where did they go?’ You thought as you wandered around the streets. You should have know that Hinata and Kageyama would get lost- they weren’t exactly the brightest. It was still odd, they couldn’t have gotten that far. ‘Don’t tell me…’ You thought before running to the Shitatorizawa school. You made your way to the field, and there they were. Hinata, Kageyama, and… Ushijima? They were standing beside the door to the Shiratorizawa’s gym. As you got close to them, you could hear Ushijima talking about someone named Oikawa..? It didn’t matter. “Hinata! Kageyama!” You yelled. “The team is waiting for you, what are you doing here?” Hinata and Kageyama immediately turned to you, there faces filled with determination. “We were talking to the ace!” Replied Hinata. You quickly bowed. “Sorry about them, I should have supervised them correctly.” You motioned for Hinata and Kageyama to follow you back to Karasuno. As you were about to leave, your hand was pulled. You turned around, your face meeting with Ushijima’s. “If it isn’t too much to ask… May I have your phone number?” Said Ushijima in a monotone voice. He looked away to the side after, as if he was embarrassed. It was surprisingly cute. You blushed, then took his phone and punched in your number. He quickly thanked you and went into the gym. You turned back, your heart beating faster and faster. “What- he- you can’t- why did you-“ Hinata stuttered while blushing and pointing at you. “Are you dating Ushijima now?” Asked Kageyama. You became even more red from the blunt comment. “No…” You replied, walking towards Karasuno high with the boys trailing behind. ‘Not yet.’ You thought with a smile.
Song: Miss Independant by Ne-yo!

long fic advice for @yindesu !! i got carried away, and this is some advice that honestly i should probably follow as well, but this, along what’s also in my writing advice tag, is what i’d recommend. 
plan in advance. it’s best to make sure you’ve got the entire plot noted down before you start writing, or else it’s really easy to end up getting off track and with a bunch of superfluous scenes and paragraphs. 
the balancing act. longer fics require a different sort of writing to shorter ones -- much like how novels are different to short stories. so whereas a shorter fic has the space to be denser in terms of the writing itself, it’s better to spread that out in a longer fic. by that i mean that longer fics can rely on sparser prose and dialogue to get from point a to b. that also helps the real gut punch moments have more effect, because they’ll stick out even more! 
does this fic need to be long? this is an important question to ask yourself! and sub-questions you should ask yourself are: 
purpose: i have to ask myself this every time i sit down and plan out a fic. does it need to be 10k? or can i cut back a bit and instead focus on a handful of scenes? one of my favourite quotes about this sort of thing is from the youtuber hbomberguy, who said, "i have a this theory that any story could be improved if, once the creator came to you and said they thought it was done, you force them to take out 10 to 15%. it forces them to assess the importance of what's on the screen and remove indulgences that don't really add anything." and i think he’s right! 
for example, i could’ve added a lot more scenes to a world apart if i’d wanted to. but, i decided that, for brevity’s sake (and for the fact that people are here to read fanfiction, not a whole damn novel) i decided to try and focus in on a few key moments. it was hard deciding what to cut, but that’s a vital part of the process. 
the in-between was initially going to stretch past high school and follow kuroo and the reader into university -- where they still haven’t come to terms with their feelings. but when i was looking at the planning again, i felt that 1) it wasn’t very good for the theming i mention below, 2) it wasn’t great pacing, and 3) it didn’t tie in well with the characters i’d been developing. so instead i drew back, and decided to look for a moment in their high school career where those feelings would come to a head! that took out a lot of unnecessary drivel 
theming: what’s the theme? what’s carrying the fic? how is it present throughout the scenes? if possible, i like to tie full circle; this isn’t always possible, depending on the fic, but one of the best ways to justify the length of a fic is by having a resonant, well-explored theme. 
if we use a world apart as an example, i felt like it needed to be as long as it is because it’s a subtle breakdown on iwaizumi’s part; the hesitance and melancholic introspection due to his experiences are integral to his character, and if he’s going to act in accordance with that, it had to be slower and subtler. 
or, if we use little changes as another example, atsumu and the reader’s relationship wasn’t going to change overnight. so, i felt a need to justify the shift by showing certain moments that act as ‘landmarks’ in their relationship.
flow: the flow of a longer piece is going to be different to that of a shorter one, just because there’s going to be more plot to cover. if the fic lingers on a moment, there has to be a good reason for it, or else it just keeps going on and on. so it’s important to keep an eye on your flow, to make sure it’s still readable. which leads to the next point of... 
breaking it up: sometimes it’s a better idea to break a bigger fic into sections, for readability, flow, and even just making sure the tumblr app can handle it.
i probably could’ve broken the in-between up into more bits, but i couldn’t break up little changes any more imo. because of how the flow works, and how they round up in each section. 
alternatively, i’m working on a few series right now, which have a lot of smaller pieces because it’s designed to work that way. 
keep track of the details: with bigger pieces, this is very important! it’s good to have a document where you’re keeping track of things, which helps tie things together later in the fic.

Hey girl! Welcome to the fandom!! Season 3 is intense and I loved every second. Anyway, I had to think this one over a lot so I hope you enjoy!!
I match you with…
✨Iwaizumi Hajime��
Tumblr media
(artist is unknown so let me know if it’s you so I can credit. Tysm!)
He looks like the kind of person to like a tall girl and paired with the fact that you’re athletic is honestly a plus for him
He’s super athletic as we all know and he even gets the respect of Mad Dog !!! He will probably workout with you
He’s used to the emotional side of things and is the “pillar” for Oikawa so you can be sure as hell he’ll be the biggest support for you as well
He’s just so reliable that you can depend on him both emotionally and physically
Your loyalty is a plus for him. He doesn’t like making friends just for the sake of it so choosing a girlfriend is even more meticulous. He wants to stick with you for good
He probably doesn’t sing for fun but he’ll respect you for your own great singing voice and he could probably be persuaded to sing a song of his own
He takes your scatter brain in stride. He’s so stable that he makes up for the both of you LOL
he doesn’t like big groups either and prefers just a couple close friends which makes you the perfect match
You’re both the mom friend so you have THAT in common and can take care of each other
You won’t need to always be talking as he’s find with comfortable silence
He’s so respectful and honest do you won’t have to be concerned about that aspect. He’s genuinely a good person and only wishes for the best
10/10 relationship where people understand why you’re together because of how well you work

Oh nice!! I really want one if possible so I'll send my info! And you can send yours whenever you like (even if it says they are closed!) So thank you so so much! So I hope it is okay to send it in parts! So I am 5,4 tall, I have shoulder length curly dirty blonde hair, green eyes and I am latina, a little on the sturdier side! I am a hufflepuff and infp! I am really hard working and determinate on what I set and can even be really hard on myself bc of it! I am a big nerd/dork (part 1)
and I get that I am really sweet and motherly! However I am anxious and can get depressed and detach easily. I care a lot about those close to me even if I have a few close friends that i treasure a lot. I am mature but a bit of a goof off sometimes, but I have learnt to embrace myself (most times), I am big curious and while I tend to show my feeling I know where not to (I cry a lot whooops)My hobbies include writing, and drawing digitally (I’ve gotten rather decent!) (part 2)
I like to randomly sing and I am mature but with a silly side. I love cats, plants and music, I looooove reading and I daydream frequently. I love cuddles a lot, and quality time is crucial, but I dislike PDA and I rather give meaningful gifts than buy a lot! I can sometimes be a little negative but I try to improve!! Thank you so so much again! If this is too much or anything feel free to not do it ofc!! Thanks!!
sorry for the delay!! you seem like the type of person to get things done and that’s really amazing :)
opposites attract
hajime iwaizumi !
⛈ he’s also the type of guy to be hard on himself, but in a much harsher way. the two of you have a soft/hard balance going for you... both of you care deeply, though he expresses his in aggression haha. i think you’d soften him up to others (oikawa thanks you), and he’d also treat you like an absolute queen. as his sweetheart, he’d do anything for you. he’d probably be the jealous type that scares away every other guy haha
⛈ iwa-chan’s the type to have a lot of friends, being social and easy-going. more extroverted, it might tire you when he hangs out with big groupings of different personalities. though i imagine he’d value his private time with you most of all. you seem very artsy, and iwa’s a total jock, so it might clash at first. i figure it’ll be a harmonious relationship where you can read at his matches and he’d play better with you around, y’know?
⛈  quality time and acts of service are probably how iwa expresses his love. don’t bother waiting on those mushy kisses or “i love you”s lol. with those beefy arms, i’m sure he’d give top tier cuddles, even if it embarrasses him. he’s sentimental, too, so i’m sure he’d love showing off your gifts to everybody else.
Tumblr media
birds of a feather
tadashi yamaguchi !
🐛 both you and he are that hufflepuff, infp, loyal, hardworking, cute, lovable trope. you’d push each other to follow your goals, but not so much so that it ever becomes overwhelming. your relationship would be fluffy and calm, though yams is quite the comedian, and would definitely keep things interesting. also, he’s tall.. *wiggles eyebrows*
🐛 yams’ love languages are probably based around verbal and physical affection, so you might find yourself at the centre of a lot of pda, haha. it might feel stifling to have him want to be near you all the time, but he’s an enthusiastic lover and will stand by you no matter what. really reassuring to hear, right?
🐛 although he can get down on himself, he’s able to pick himself back up. having a boyfriend of that mentality might make it easier to lift yourself out of those detached ruts. also, he’s been through a lot of scary situations, and is a helper. he’d know all the right words.

Suga’s new single father status means trading in his pop idol lifestyle to take care of an infant he already loves, even though he’s never known what it means to belong to a family before. Daichi is enjoying ordinary college life (he still has trouble with laundry), still talks to his parents on the weekends, and has never known how good it feels to have his life shaken up.But in spite of their differences, or because of them, they connect with each other more than they ever could have guessed. It turns out the thinner the walls, the easier it becomes to know each other’s hearts.

Tokyo Ghoul AU: Iwaizumi Hajime
{Part 1 of 3 for the Tokyo Ghoul AU that was requested! To be completely honest, I did NOT expect this to turn out so long, but when I write, I kind of imagine the scene and it plays in my mind as I write! So, yeah, sorry about the length! Hope you like it! The rest are on there way!~~ (Post 2) (Post 3)}
This is my favorite time of day. Right after waking up, eyes still puffy from the hours spent resting. Sitting across from my dearest, enjoying a cup of coffee. The only time I feel human. I look into their beautiful eyes. If only I could, I could get lost in them forever. They glance up from their breakfast, to look at me, a smile spreading across their face, and crinkling their eyes.
“Good Morning.” I say, reaching across the table, to brush a few lose strands of their hair out of their face. They blush.
“Good morning.” They say, looking down onto their plate. Ah, how I love their cute side. I lean onto my left palm, and pick up my coffee. I reminisce on how our affair is going, and smile warmly. My stomach, empty, but luckily not making a noise. This happens often, I just can’t bear to leave them in the night. I know how bad this part of town is, but they remain unaware. I intend to keep it that way, until I can get them out. I release a sigh. Glancing at the clock on the wall, I remind them that they have to leave soon. They glance at the clock, and then start to shove food in their mouth, causing a laugh to escape mine. After only ten minutes, they’re out the door and on their way to the café where they work. I make my way several paces behind them. I agreed to let them be independent, but I do not intend to let walk anywhere by unguarded. I scour the ground as I run along the edge of the rooftops of the small alleys, grabbing the ledge with my kagune; its tail like structure making it possible to navigate easily down the small passageways. During this time, I make sure to stay hidden from both the general public, and my dear. If either were to find out about my being a ghoul, I fear our lives would be separated, and that was a simple fact that whittled at my nerves. With my lover safely inside their work, I take off in the direction of the city. My stomach is so empty that I begin to shake. My legs started to give out, but I’m too hungry, and my kagune can no longer withhold my body weight. I walk down the street, making my way to the café I frequent for my meals.
Opening the door, I am greeted by the familiar, and slightly sickening, scent of coffee, and the friendly staff of Anteiku. The girl behind the counter, Touka I believe, looked at me and then told me to follow her. I did so without a fuss, my body just barely holding me up. Walking into the back room, she handed me the usual, and I ate it gratefully. After letting my stomach digest the meat, I thanked her, and paid her what little money I had to offer. She denied the money, and told me it was on the house. Although I didn’t agree with her methods, I accepted. After leaving the café, I made my way to my part-time job with the construction company. I got lucky with this set up, because it turns out my work for the day was on this same street.
Finally, as the sun was setting, I was released from work and made my way over to pick up my partner. Arriving slightly before they were relieved of duty, I leaned against the wall on the store across from their café’s glass windows. When the door’s chimes signaled someone had opened the glass-paned door, I look over just in time to see the last remaining rays of sun reflected off the hair of my love. Reflecting in just a way to make them look like a heavenly spirit. Oh, how we contrasted; the one, branded as a demon, the other, an angel. I chuckled dryly at what this life had given me. I make my way across the street, when their wave broke me free of my thoughts. They stuck their hand out, and offered me a smile and a greeting. Taking their hand, we started our trek down the street as the dim lampposts lit our way.
As we reached the apartment that we share, my senses screamed at me; something was wrong. I took one look at my love, and shuttered, thinking the worst. Just then, only a couple feet in front of us, two men with briefcases approached us. My mind was on edge, but I did not allow it to show on my visage. I took a deep, quiet breath and kept walking with my lover’s hand tight in my own. As we walked closer, my intuition was proven correct as one of the men spoke.
“Stop. Release their hand.” They spoke, their words dripping with hatred. I squeezed their hand tighter, afraid that if I were to let go, I would never again hold it. My poker face breaking bit by bit as I continued surveillance on our guests. My lover’s hand shook in mine.
“What is this about? Who are you guys?” Their voice came out small, helpless even. I glanced at their face and saw nothing but fear. I pulled them closer to me, hoping to relieve them of some of their tension. They looked at me, their eyes now full on concern.
“I said let go of them.” The other man spoke, now, pointing at me with the hand that held the briefcase handle.
“I don’t know who you are, but I don’t intend on letting their hand go.” I finally spoke, my voice clear, and strong. The two men sneered.
“Fine. If you won’t let go, I’ll just cut your hand off.” The first one said, pushing the small activator on the handle of his silver briefcase, effectively releasing his ‘quinque’, as they called it. I stepped into a defensive stance, every nerve in my body on high alert. I grabbed my partners body, and pulled them to rest against my chest. My legs bent to prepare for escape. The man rushed at us, and whipped out to try and strike us. I pushed off the ground with all my strength, holding my lover close in my arms. Out of the corner of my eyes, I catch a glimpse of purple. The world slowed as I was surprised at the sudden onslaught of the second man coming from our right, his quinque already almost touching my arm. There was no time to think of a better strategy. The only words in my mind were, ‘This is where my heaven dies.’ My Kagune whips out to shield our bodies as gravity pulls us back to solid ground.
Upon landing, my bikaku around us like a shield, I stare in disgust at our pursuers. Right now, the only thoughts on my mind are centered around keeping the defenseless person in my arms safe. In my hold, my love shook. I glanced at their face, my heart sinking to rest in my stomach. Their eyes, in which I often found solace, now brought me great pain. Their expression a mixture of surprise, disgust and fear. They looked from my tail, to my eyes, and blinked, their brain surely trying to piece together the events that just took place. Our pursuers laughed.
“He…no IT didn’t tell you? Ha! While the monster tried to play house, he tricked you into thinking he was one of us. Didn’t you ever feel like he was out of place?” The true monster spoke, his words cutting my heart like a razor. I grimaced at his words, my face turning into a snarl towards our aggressors.
“Hajime…w-why didn’t you tell me?” A faint, cracking voice spoke in my ear. The rest of the world was a void, the only other being was my lover as I stared at their small frame. Their face was washed over with pain and anguish. I swallowed nothing; my mouth felt heavy with unspoken words and regret. I closed my eyes, how could I look at something so perfect, and think that I, a cursed beast, could live happily? My body felt cold, our attackers stood and laughed at my existence. Humiliated and angered, I began to release my lost hope, their warmth leaving my side.
And just then, my left check bloomed with the warmth of small fingers, my right following shortly after, I open my eyes. My view flooded with the deep orbs I loved so, and I felt soft lips against my own. They pulled back quickly, and held my face firmly. Awestruck, I stared into their eyes, tears forming in my own. Their face, full of fear, tried to form a smile.
“Hey. Hey! It’s ok. I’m still me. You’re still Iwaizumi Hajime. You’re still you.” Their voice came out strained but loud enough for only me to hear, my sight blurred. As a tear slid down my check, my love wiped it with their thumb, and continued. “Whether you’re a ghoul or a human, I fell in love with you.” A strength, in the form of words, that I had lost all hope in hearing again. My heart returned to my chest with a vengeance, banging at my ribs, my head felt light with love. The corners of my mouth lifted upwards, as my ears caught the sure stomps of footsteps. I turned towards to the onlookers, my strength restored. I leapt into the air a second time as the whip-like quinque cracked at where we once stood. I pushed my kagune off the ground and launched farther into the air. Latching onto the ledge of the building behind us, I launched us higher into the air. My lover’s arms tight around my neck, my arms around their waist. I was not about to lose something so precious again. I didn’t stop running until my back ached and my stomach growled. As the last of my strength left my body, I found a small alleyway. Gently dropping my partner to the ground, I fell beside them. I slide down the wall, as they kneeled in front of me. The last thing I remember before blacking out, was their worried eyes, and the sound of their frightened voice.
My body was covered in a layer of warmth, and a weight at my side as I opened my exhausted eyes, squinting at the sun of the early morning. Looking towards the weight to my left, I found my love curled into a tight ball under my arm. With a smile, I smoothed their hair. They groaned and reluctantly opened their eyes. They looked up at me with half-lidded eyes and smiled.
“Good Morning.” I said, smiling back at them.
“Good Morning.” They responded, wrapping their arms around my waist tightly. Today was going to mark the start of a new, harder relationship. I sigh and lean my head against the hard wall behind us.
