POV: Your boyprien has a bad day, so you bring him Jollibee to cheer him up <3
Tumblr media
[ID] A cartoon-y drawing of Iwaizumi Hajime and Oikawa Tooru from Haikyuu!! Iwa is sitting at the bottom of some stairs with tears in his eyes, looking up at Oikawa, who is holding out a Jollibee bag towards him with a sympathetic expression. [end ID]
I finally got the courage to redownload the drawing app on my phone, so I at least have access to digital again :)
Sucks that I lost all the other files though rip </3

midnight blue ribbon. - k.tobio
Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis: muggleborn siblings, (name) and tooru oikawa, were seperated by a divorce, (name), stayed with her father, starting her magic studies at ilvermorny, and her brother stayed home in england, studying at hogwarts. but somehow, her parents work it out, (name) would be a transferee at hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. facing all sorts of new faces, and new obstacles. any obstacle, you would face head on, as long as the crow with a scroll of parchment tied shut by a midnight blue ribbon, keeps tapping at her dorm window.
warnings: foul language, suggestive jokes (of course, these are hormonal teens we're talking about.), fem reader
genres: fluff
notes: SORRY IF THE SYNOPSIS IS TOO LONG THIS STORY IS A LOT.. this is basically a movie-only harry potter fan makes a hogwarts au so sorry if i have misconceptions on how things work in the wizarding world. and for the sake of the story, oikawa and you are 6th years (both are 17), tobio is a 5th year (he's 16). also i have no idea how the dorm rooms will work so i'm freestyling, since j.k rowling did NOT mention anything about how many students there will be in 1 dorm room since how are there 5 gryffindor boys in their year..? this will start out as an experimental oneshot, and if i get asks to make this a series, i'll continue it! (with painfully slow updates), ALSO I'M FILIPINO I GREW UP WITH ENGLISH BEING A SECOND LANGUAGE SO IM SORRY IF I SCREW GRAMMAR STUFF UP!! definitions for unfamilliar creatures, potions and spells will be linked.
Tumblr media
you thought silence was bearable. well, in fact, you loved silence, it gave you space to think, and relax. but the silence of sitting in the same compartment as your brother, tooru oikawa, is undoubtedly, uncomfortable. not because of the divorce of your parents, and so many years being apart, but because right in front of you, is a 17 year old tooru. he's grown taller than what you expected, and he's now a man. it's hard to find a topic that you'd think your brother would fully engage in a conversation for. you kept thinking of something to talk about, to break the silence, usually, siblings would chat casually, but you eventually forgot what it felt like having a brother. but before anyone in the room could speak, a group of three boys knocked on the glass sliding door of the train compartment, and welcomed themselves in. the boys are about your and your brother's age. a silver haired boy that's surprisingly tall and buff for a teenager makes himself home to the spot next to you, and the other two, a boy with brown hair and sharp green eyes and a boy with intentional bed hair and a cheeky smile sat at the spots next to tooru, sandwiching the poor guy between them.
"woah, that's rare of you to sit with some girl and not with us."
the one with the rooster hair spoke up, and slapped your brother's back with a little smirk, earning a pained groan from him. the others just snickered.
"heya, honey. i'm tetsuro kuroo, but you could call me yours."
he extends his hand to you, expecting a handshake.
"i'm—"
as you grab hold of kuroo's hand, tooru pinches him, forcing him to retract his hand.
"she's my sister, (name). and (name), the idiot next to you is kotaro bokuto, and this lad on my right is hajime iwaizumi."
tooru smiles at you, like it hasn't been years since you've seen eachother. the train engine makes its loud debut, the horns sounding, signalling that it's ready to go. the train departs the station, and your conversations with the 4 boys continue.
"well, if she's your sister, how come i've never seen her round the castle?"
bokuto examines your face with wide, curious eyes, and with a hand to his chin.
"that must be because her robes are blank. she's a transferee, i think."
iwaizumi just casually crosses his leg over to his other, and relaxes his back onto the cushion of the seat. kuroo smiled, he caught sight of the old trolley witch walking along with a cart filled with sweets, stood up, and bought something for himself. tooru had his head back, clearly fighting his sleepiness, bokuto on the other hand, is busy showing off his chocolate frog cards to you, but all the information just slipped your mind. kuroo returns to his seat, and hands you a cauldron cake in a small, colorful box.
"thought it'd only be right to give you a hogwarts welcoming gift."
you accept it gracefully. this guy's not so bad, not like his hair, at all. you space out, while looking at the box, and you smile at it like it's your first child.
all of the boys in your compartment, slowly fell asleep as time progresses on your trip to your new school. as the morning, turned into noon, nearing sunset. you got a little bored, and started to observe the students walking past your compartment. most were first years, with blank robes like you, exploring around. but one student caught your eyes. A boy with dark hair, slightly younger than you, angrily stomping around with a scowl on his face, a few black feathers flying out from.. wherever. you wondered, whatever could have caused that terrifying expression? but, you decided not to ponder on it a little more than that. you stayed awake the entire time so you could wake your brother and his friends just on time to hop off the train.
the train stopped at its one and only destination from king's cross; hogwarts. you woke the boys up, one by one.
"we're at hogwarts, get up everyone."
the four groaned, and eventually got up, to get off the train, with you following along. a giant man with an equally giant beard named hagrid, guided the students to where they needed to be. in a boat. honestly, it felt like you were in a can of sardines, since the boat you're on is filled with 17 year olds. you looked at the boat that's floating beside you, it's the guy who's running around with feathers up his ass, or something. he's a lot more charming, and a lot less scary than when you first saw him. sitting beside him, is a bright orange haired boy, you could've sworn you saw him as a big, spiky, floating tangerine that someone could've casted the levitation charm on in your peripheral vision. the orange little guy is bouncing around on the boat, causing little ripples to appear in the still water, an older silver haired boy that appears to be a seventh year, holds the boy down, in fear of the boat flipping upside down.
"they're a rowdy bunch, don't mind them, unless you'd love to lend an ear to their extensive, passionate talks about quidditch."
"i don't know about that, tetsu, that little shrimp there's pretty fun to talk to!"
bokuto waves at the boy he's talking about, getting a cheerful wave and a very loud "HELLO, BOKUTO!!" in return, before that same seventh year scolds him. kuroo notices you staring a liiiittle too long at a certain boy, that's now currently yelling at his.. friend? aquaintance? enemy? you don't even know. he chuckles, he's about to say something to tease you for staring, but he'll keep it to himself. for now, at least. the boats start moving towards the large marble castle, built atop an island. the boats dock at a safe spot for everyone to get off themselves, and the first years excitedly glance around, their eyes darting from place to place, with a sparkle of wonder in them. you were about to follow your brother and his best men directly into the great hall, but iwaizumi stops you.
"oh, uh. you're supposed to go with the first years. you haven't been sorted yet, so you'll go a bit later than we're going. and don't fret, transferees get sorted first, it'll be over within seconds."
you nod, and you nervously started to walk in the direction of the first years, nervously waving your new aquaintances, and your brother, goodbye. you follow the tiny children to a hallway, where bags, trunks, the cages and carriers of the students' pets are stacked, up some polished stone stairs, to a large door, which you assume is an entrance to the great hall. a witch stood there, presumably waiting for the first years. which would be the professor, stepped in front of the many tiny witches and wizards, you tower over them, making you stick out like a sore thumb.
"welcome to hogwarts. i am professor mcgonagall, the head of gryffindor house. now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors, and join your classmates. before you take your seats, you will be sorted into one of four houses. they are gryffindor, hufflepuff, ravenclaw and slytherin..."
professor mcgonagall stood with a graceful, and dignified stature, and continued to explain about the house cup, and its point system, based on the behavior and achievements of the students of a hogwarts house.
"the sorting ceremony, will begin shortly."
she walks away, leaving to enter the great hall. while you wait, you keep yourself occupied with a chocolate frog card, that bokuto gave you earlier on the train while he talked about his full collection. it's a card of godric gryffindor. you were busy assessing the design of the card, when a little girl with a head of familliar orange hair, tugs at your robes.
"i see you have a godric gryffindor card! uh, can we trade? i have a helga hufflepuff one, if you're interested. i have 5 copies of her, so don't worry. i reaaaaally need that one to complete my hogwarts founder cards!"
you smiled, and you gladly accepted her trade offer.
"of course, i'll take you up on your offer. here you go."
she beams, and she takes the card out of your hands, and replaces it with one that's of helga hufflepuff.
"my name's natsu! if you ever have a card of merlin or of ollivander's, you can easily find me if you wanna trade some more!"
"well, i'm (name), i can't completely guarantee i'll get those cards, i'll at least make sure to expand my inventory."
you laughed, and natsu reminded you of your own tiny 11 year old self, cheerfully chatting with your classmates at ilvermorny. professor mcgonagall walks in again.
"we're ready for you now, please follow me."
the professor leads everyone through two large doors, which proceeds to the great hall, where there are four long tables, hundreds— no, maybe thousands of students are sitting at. floating candles dot the ceiling of the hall, you overhear a student talking about how the ceiling is bewitched to look like the night sky. you, and the first years are led to the front of the hall, facing all the hogwarts students in the tables of their respective houses, some looked bored, and didn't bother observing the sorting ceremony, others excitedly waited for their younger siblings to be sorted, and a few people looked interested in the older kid in a sea of first years. you turn to your other side, you saw a long table similar to the tables you've just seen, but a little shorter. there, sat several professors, and professor dumbledore. then your eyes lead you to a small stool, with a hat on it.
"all right, will you wait along here, please? now, before we begin, professor dumbledore would like to say a few words."
mcgonagall stepped aside, for everyone to see the wizard, rising from the main table. it was just something about the third floor being a dangerous place, and about the forbidden forest being.. well, forbidden.
"when i call your name, you will come forth, then you shall be sorted into your houses, but, first, i would like to make an announcement to.. all students."
professor mcgonagall walked up to the center, and talked with a stern, and booming voice, enough to be heard from the end of the great hall,
"before we begin the sorting ceremony of the first years, i would like to welcome a new student from ilvermorny, being a transfer student, i, and the staff of hogwarts, expect you to welcome her with open arms. now, will miss (name) oikawa step forward to have your house sorted?"
you gulped, as you sat on the stool, mcgonagall picks up the hat, and places it upon your head.
"now what have we here?"
the hat spoke. the hat spoke. and you thought your life was magical enough, now there's a talking hat, on your head.
"quite the interesting girl we have.. let me ask you, what house would you prefer to be in?"
"... never thought about it, sorry, sorting hat."
"would you walk a path you create for yourself, or would you walk on the path that others paved for you?"
"... i would rather walk the path i create myself, i guess."
"you'll be great in.. hufflepuff!"
the students clapped, and mcgonagall pointed at the hufflepuff table, for you to know where you now belong. you stared at the helga hufflepuff card you traded your gryffindor card for. would this be some funny coincidence? you sat down at the table, and you were sat beside a blonde girl with hazel eyes, and a boy with long hair, tied into a bun, and facial hair. he oddly looks like an adult.
"i know what you're thinking, with the facial hair, stature, i know. i'm asahi, i'm a seventh year. nice to meet you, and welcome to hufflepuff."
he took your hand, and shook it.
"nice to meet you too!"
you felt like he was easy to talk to, despite his intimidating features.
"and i'm hitoka..!"
the girl beside you, yelled a little too loudly, and students from other tables turned their heads at her. she quickly sits down, and slams her head against the wooden table.
"oh my god, are you okay?"
you panicked, and put your hand on her shoulder, to make sure she's okay.
"god, that was embarassing!"
asahi, from beside you, sighs, and quietly pulls out his wand, and conjures up a spell.
"glacius."
the tip of his wand glowed a cool white, a small blizzard of snowflakes clustered up together, the cold breeze rushing into a cup, freezing the water, and they turn into ice cubes. the silver haired older kid you saw earlier while you were in a boat, quickly pulls out a handkerchief, flattens it onto the table on your side.
"wingardium leviosa."
asahi casts the levitation charm on the ice cubes in the cup, the ice floating seamlessly in the air. asahi lowers it down onto the small cloth that was laid down. he wraps it up, and hands it to the young girl beside you.
"you do this every year, hitoka, that head slamming's gonna turn you dumb, you've already earned a p in your defence against the dark arts o.w.l's!"
"that's because i missed studying for that! i was taking extra classes and i had too much on my hands!"
that same silver haired guy held genuine concern for hitoka, sort of like tough love from a mother. the blonde groans, the faint bruise on her forehead is already embarrassing enough to deal with, but it hurts like hell.
"if you're wondering, the student that is incredibly infuriated, yet worried about poor hitoka beside you, is koshi sugawara, the hufflepuff house prefect and head boy."
asahi introduces you to the student. he's quite the charmer, his face sort of looks.. refreshing. sugawara smiles at you, and opens his mouth to say,
"hitoka's fine, she's always gets like this whenever she meets someone new. last year, she's knocked down a full cauldron of draught of living death, onto a gryffindor student, yu nishinoya. she was partnered with him in potions class. it melted through his robes, and i had to help a prefect carry him to the hospital wing."
sugawara grimaces, remembering the time the potion melted a hole through his robes, and lightly burned nishinoya's skin. the sorting ceremony concluded, and the feast begins. silver platters filled with all kinds of food, suddenly appear at the students' house tables. you, of course, picked your favorites from them, you hear really aggressive muffled yelling from the gryffindor table. you raised you head from your food, and to the source of the commotion, that same duo from the boat, were eating really fast. that feathery, dark haired boy was eating fast, but he gives time to chew, and not look like a mess. meanwhile, the ginger that sat beside him, energetically stuffed his cheeks to the brim with all kinds of food, stacking platters upon platters.
"how the hell does hinata not get a stomachache after his eating competitions with kageyama? i'd immediately surrender within 7 full plates.."
asahi, sort of looked sick. though, you agree with what he said. you can eat no more than a few plates before feeling sick from being full, and begging for the food to digest faster.
"all that food, and none of that goes to his height."
you saw a blonde boy with a brown undercut at the slytherin table, snicker at the two, a boy with grey hair, and the same undercut that looks exactly the same as him, just doesn't bother looking at the two.
"atsumu miya, and his twin brother, osamu. they're slight assholes— actually, maybe a little more that slight, if there's a word for that. atsumu is a loud asshole, and osamu is just a little more discreet about his assholeyness, you know? but they're tooootally monsters at quidditch. maybe them being mean little dudes give them an advantage. oh! and i'm satori tendo, by the way! nice to meet a student from ilvermorny!"
another spiky haired student appears in front of you. and you'd be convinced if someone told you that hogwarts is a magnet for people with weird hair. you just smiled, and shook hands with the guy.
"also, oikawa? would that mean that you'd be the sister of mr. freaky pleasant face?"
tendo squints at you and tilts his head.
"mr. freaky pleasant face? does tooru hook up with girls or something?"
at the mention of his name, your brother turns to your table. he's a slytherin, so he's quite close to where you are.
"no, i do NOT get into those kinds of activities."
he defends himself with a sure and stern voice. and he glares at tendo, the look on his face saying 'if you say anything that's weird and absolutely untrue to my sister, i'll smash your face in with a quaffle.'
"well, he does have lots of girls pining after him, it'd only make sense if he'd done that with some of them. also, hey (name)! shame you're a hufflepuff, i would've loved showing you around the common room."
kuroo waves at you with a stupid smile, but immediately drops it when tooru elbows him in his sides.
"well, that's that."
tendo giggles a little at the situation. later, your house prefect leads you and the new hufflepuff residents to your dorms. sugawara suggests that you should be beside him, so you don't accidentally bump into a shorter first year. your group of hufflepuffs are lead to an underground passageway, the basement of the castle, decorated with lots of paintings of food.
"the paintings are there, 'cause the kitchens and the hufflepuff dorms are kind of in the same corridor."
sugawara says, beside you. this passageway is lit warmly, with torches. despite this being a basement, it gives off the most homely energy. you could hear the house elves behind the shut castle kitchen's doors chatter, and prepare recipes that could possibly be for tomorrow's breakfast. you could smell the familliar scent of baked goods wafting into your nose.
"other students drop by the dorms and common room regularly. it's pretty comfortable, and it feels like home. not just to hufflepuffs, but to all hogwarts students."
sugawara then stops in front of a circle door, framed by pretty vines, a pile of large barrels were stacked in a shadowy recess on the right-hand-side of the corridor. sugawara tapped on the barrel two from the bottom, a barrel middle of the second row in a rhythm that sounds similar to the name of the hufflepuff founder, 'helga hufflepuff'. the lid of the barrel swung open, and sugawara turns to all of you.
"(name), you go first, then i follow. the rest of you first-years, just follow along with us please."
"do i.. crawl through?"
"what else would you do? now go ahead."
you gulped, and entered the barrel, crawling along the sloping, earthy passage that seemed to travel upwards, revealing the common room, in its cozy, yellow glory. the hufflepuff common room is said to 'always feel sunny'. and it really does. no wonder why people love this place, the place has circular windows, that have a view of a vast land of grass and dandelions, the room is just the perfect place to be, the smell from the kitchens are making this place even cozier. there are interesting looking plants, their pots, hanging from the ceiling. sugawara snaps all of you out of your awe, and reminds you that you're here to look at where you'll be sleeping for your stay at hogwarts. the dormitories are reached through round doors in the common room. he opens the dormitory doors, to a stone staircase, one end, spiraling downstairs, and one end for upstairs.
"girl's dorms are up there, boy's dorms are down here. your belongings should've already been brought to your dorms. if there's anything missing, or if there's a mix-up in anything, let me know, and i'll help."
sugawara gestures you up to the girl's dorm, where you find that the dormitory is actually a tower, dorms seperated by years. the sixth years are on the sixth floor, so you head up there, alone. you arrived at what you assumed to be the sixth year girls dorms, there are several circular doors for you to go through, but luckily, there are names on small wooden planks for students and their roommates. you enter the dorm with your name on a plank, and only one other student. 'yui michimiya'. you immediately spot your cat, in her carrier. she must've waited for you, beside your own luggage and trunks, all this time. you immediately free your cat from her confines, and set down her food & water bowl. you notice that your roommate's immediately tucked in for the night, dozing off in her bed.. the lights were dimmed down to adjust to the night. someone knocks on your dorm door. you get up, to open it, and there standing before you, is sugawara.
"madam sprout wants you to be in the common room with the first years, it's mandatory. she'll just hand you the timetable schedules, and some guidelines, and the history of hufflepuff, and what not. i'm sure you already know your way, so i'll just head down to the boys dorms."
he smiles with his lips, and moves out of the way, his arms leading you out of your dorm room, sort of like a 'ladies first' gesture, and you make your way down first, and opening the door connecting the dormitories to the common room. there, you find around 10 first years, the amount of hufflepuff girls and boys split evenly into a 5:5 ratio, sat on the many couches and chairs. you make your way to an empty solo couch, and madam sprout clears her throat to turn the chattering students' attention to her.
"first years, i'm your head of house, madam sprout, and i'd like to welcome to your house, hufflepuff! now, before we go on to hand out your timetables for class, let's go over a brief introduction to the founding of the hufflepuff house, and helga hufflepuff's role in founding hogwarts."
she did exactly what she said, and touched on the topics she mentioned.
"helga hufflepuff was one of four founders of hogwarts, while the other founders, godric gryffindor, salazar slytherin and even rowena ravenclaw chose their favorites or, 'special students', helga hufflepuff accepts all witches and wizards of all backgrounds, whether you'd be a muggle, a pureblood, or a halfblood."
you were trying not to fall asleep immediately, but once the short history lesson ended, she handed everybody their set class timetables. the first years have transfiguration in the morning, and you have potions. madam sprout dismisses all of you, and you and the 5 other hufflepuff girls head into the girls dorm tower, and tucked in for the night. you quietly open your dorm door, careful not to wake your roommate, and you changed into a nightgown, a sleeping garment you thought was corny, but your dad insisted getting you lots of elegant nightgowns, as hogwarts is a castle, and you're a lady, and you'll fit right in like a character from a fairytale. well, he's certainly right about that, looking at yourself in the mirror, it felt sort of awkward, but it also felt right. being a student in a gorgeous historical castle wouldn't be that bad. and with those thoughts, you head straight to bed.
-
you jolt awake from the sound of metal dropping. you blink your eyes, to adjust to the sunlight, shining from the dorm windows, and you see.. your roommate. yui michimiya. she bent down on the floor, not noticing you, already awake. she picked up what seems to be her ring from the floor with a subtle smile, and proceeds to turn in your direction, and lands her eyes on you, with a shriek.
"good morning.."
you waved at her, a yawn accompanying your morning greetings. what a great first impression. you looked at your pocket watch. 5:24 am.
"merlin, you scared me!"
michimiya puts her hand to her chest, with a slouched pose to make it look like she's seen enough of things that scared her.
"i'm yui, i'm pretty sure you've seen the name on the.. thing?"
she adjusts her tie.
"uh, yeah. why are you up so early? don't classes start at 8?"
"oh, uh, i usually go for a morning stroll, but you could also take that time to freshen up, eat breakfast, and stuff.. sorry if i'm not a good hogwarts tour guide, i just have a lot going on. sugawara usually wakes up earlier than everyone, so he must be in the common room. you could ask him!"
michimiya quickly dashes outside. i wonder what's gotten her like that? you decide to change into some new robes, and get ready for the day.. and maybe make a stop at the kitchens for toast. you adjust your yellow and black tie in the mirror, eyes lingering on the hufflepuff patch on your robes. your first day in hogwarts, ever. you grab your leather book bag, not bothering to check what's in it and you head to the common room, to find michimiya, chatting with an older student in the same house, their fingers interlocking, and they look.. very in-love. you thought she went for a stroll.. but you'd rather not think on it. you find sugawara, on the common room couch by the fireplace, reading a book. he turns to you and he waves.
"good morning, (name)! heading to the great hall for breakfast? i'll come with you."
"i thought i'd need a good meal before doing anything."
sugawara chuckles, and guides you out of the common rooms, from the passageway, to the great hall. only a few students are eating, after all, it's only the beginning of the breakfast hours. sugawara leads you a table where his friends are sitting at. this time, the houses aren't divided by tables, but students are free to come and go from one table to another. you are sat at the gryffindor table, a house where majority of sugawara's friends are in.
"yooo suga!"
a loud student with a small stature greeted sugawara.
"oh, (name), this is uh, nishinoya."
"is.. is that the draught of living death guy?"
"ah, well, yes."
sugawara awkwardly scratches the back of his neck, since nishinoya's pretty embarrased about that incident.
"it's the transferee girl! i'm shoyo hinata, transferees are pretty rare around here. what's ilvermorny like? is the food different?"
the boy with a meadow of orange on his head eagerly asked you so many questions, and his friend pulls him down onto the bench by the robes.
"can't you stay still for a second? don't ask questions all the sudden."
"and this grump over here is tobio kageyama."
hinata pointed at the guy he was referring to. you looked over at him, and you waved with a friendly smile. he just.. didn't wave back? or say anything? he just stiffens and doesn't spare you a glance. sugawara looked at him with a knowing smirk.
"don't tell me.."
hinata looks at the both of them, confused, nishinoya deciding he'll keep to himself, his mouth is busy chewing his food anyway. the gryffindor's breakfast table sort of looked like a buffet, with a spread of all sorts of breakfast food. you let out an awkward sounding fake laugh, then grabbed some toast, and other stuff you like, and you ate your food, in silence.
"where's kei? thought he'd escape bokuto asking for homework answers."
the words of nishinoya's question were muffled, since he stuffed his face with seemingly one of all the food on the table.
"asking? that's borderline harrassment."
sugawara directs his head to a cheery bokuto asking all sorts of questions to an amazingly tall boy, with blonde hair and glasses and a blank face across the great hall, at the ravenclaw table. he makes his way to the gryffindor table, with bokuto sticking to him like glue.
"hey, hey, hey! it's (name)!"
he walks behind you and ruffles your hair. the beanpole sits next to you, and quietly continues eating, silently sending an apology to you, hoping that bokuto's attention would be diverted from him.
"hey, could you ask tooru if he's doing well in any of the subjects? i want him to catch me up on anything."
"oh, sure! nice to see ya again, and enjoy your first day (name)!"
you waved bokuto goodbye, and sighed. you liked his prescence, but you needed a little chill today.
"that was smart."
"thanks..? uh.."
the guy beside you praised your efforts at driving bokuto away, the ravenclaw notices how you were about to call him by name, but you don't even know it.
"kei. kei tsukishima."
"oh, uh. thanks, kei, i'm (name)."
he nods, and continues poking at the fried chicken on his plate with his fork. wow, this guy's pretty hard to talk to. sugawara leans in closer to your ear and says,
"don't worry about him, he's not used to interaction with girls, same with kageyama."
sugawara chuckles, he's a pretty good guide. after you were finished with eating (and chatting with all of gryffindor), you stood up, and pulled out a piece of parchment with your class schedule on it. you had a potions class at seven, it's now currently 6:47 am. you figured you'd get to class early. sugawara, tsukishima, hinata, nishinoya and kageyama got up with you too, all of them, except sugawara going ahead, it's just kageyama lagging behind the group.
"sugawara, could you show me where the potions classes are?"
"oh, i have divination, and i need to get there fast.. hmm.. oh! tobio has potions next, he could show you. tobio!"
he called out to the boy, and he came jogging back, with a menacing look on his face. scary.
"could you lead her to the potions classroom? i have divination, i'll think of something to pay you back!"
he froze up, again. does he really not like you? or is he just like that because you're an older girl?
"... sure."
"i'm counting on you, thanks, dude!"
sugawara ran to the exit of the great hall, waving to the two of you behind him. now, it's just you and mr. girl anxiety. he turns to you with a weird face.
"f..follow me."
merlin, his talking game with women is at rock bottom. compared to your brother, who could charm people to his advantage, this guy's charisma is abysmal. hopefully, he grows out of it. you apologise to him in your head for straight up insulting him. well, maybe his awkwardness is his charm. you two started walking out of the great hall. you're having trouble keeping up, since this guy makes crazy strides with his long legs. you were panting just from trying to keep up with him.
"w—"
you inhale, exhale.
"wait! merlin, you're fast."
he freezes in his steps. you were leaning on the stone walls, sitting on the dusty floor, just resting. he realizes he was walking too fast, and extends his hand towards you, averting his gaze.
"sorry. but we'd best not be late, i'll.. i'll walk a little slower this time."
looking up at him from this angle, he's bloody gorgeous. dark hair, eyes the color of the deepest parts of the ocean, you're almost tempted to dive in. his lips turning into a subtle pout, his unbelievably perfect eyebrows furrowed, disappointed by his mistake. you sigh, and get up, with the assistance of your grip on his hand.
"it's okay."
and this time, he adjusts to your pace perfectly, like you're walking with a reflection of yourself. freaky. you arrive at your classroom, and you enter, to be greeted by the sights of a low ceiling, shelves filled with potions, cauldrons, all sorts of glassware and equipment, and potion ingredients, students bringing out their books and their own cauldrons. professor snape turns his head, he stares down at the both of you, an intimidating energy emitting from him. but really, it's just him applauding the transferee for being early, usually new students would get lost inside the castle before they could make it to class. your wise decision to ask to get someone to lead you to the right place saved you from embarassment on your first day.
kageyama taps your shoulder, pointing at the cauldrons on the shelf. you had your cauldron in your trunk, and somehow its' whisked itself out of it and put neatly on the potions classroom's shelves. you both grab your respective cauldrons and found a table where you could make potions in peace, in the back. kageyama pulls out a chair for you to sit in, and made himself comfortable on the stool beside you. that's kind of him. you looked at the boy beside you, he has his book of advanced potions out, so you grab your book bag, and looked inside. your herbology book, history of magic, DADA and astronomy book were all in there, but.. you realize that you forgot your potions textbook. you look for professor snape in the room, maybe he has a spare book! but, he's quite scary to talk to, so asking him for a spare is crossed out on the list. so you turn to the only option left.
"uh, hey, tobio. could you share the book? i forgot mine back at the dorms, i wanna do some light reading."
"yeah, it's alright, i guess.."
he slides the textbook in your direction.
"don't you need it too?"
"yeah, but i don't find it to be necessary reading before class."
ouch, was that a jab at your habit of reviewing, or is he just this honest? he really doesn't sugarcoat things. you quietly open the book so you could read. suddenly, kageyama places his two long fingers onto the paper of the book, and gently moves it a little towards him. and under his breath, he mumbles,
"i guess i could use some reading."
odd. that's odd. he said that he didn't like reviewing before class, but now he's doing it. pick a struggle, man. you move your chair closer to his, so you could see better. your arms were touching at this distance. kageyama let out a quiet grunt, his eyes narrowing at the words printed onto the paper, his eyebrows furrowing in what seemed to be frustration, his cheeks blooming into the subtlest pink. if he's that bothered just by reading, why'd he volunteer to read with you anyways? a few minutes pass by, and class begins, kageyama pulling his eyes away from the book, and sighed in relief. snape warned every student in his class that 'there will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class.' and taking turns asking every student questions, including kageyama and you.
"where would you look if you were to find me a bezoar?"
"i— uh.."
kageyama aggressively flips the pages of his advanced potions book, but snape slams the book shut, almost trapping kageyama's whole hand in there, if it weren't for his reflexes.
"take this seriously, mr. kageyama. where. would. you. find. me. a. bezoar?"
"uh.. something about a goat stomach."
"so close, yet so far. you, new student. where would you find a bezoar?"
you jolted, and pointed at yourself with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.
"who else in this room would i ask?"
"uh— a bezoar is a stone in a goat's stomach.. that can save you from.. almost any poisons?"
"end that sentence with a period, ms. oikawa. but alas, you are correct. five points to.. hufflepuff, and for that poor answer from mr. kageyama, five points will be taken from gryffindor."
snape narrows his eyes at you, before proceeding to continue with his lessons. you put your hand on where your heart would rest, currently beating as fast as a zouwu. and about as fast as a zouwu, the classes end, leaving students with free time after dinner. there was a windstorm earlier today, and the owl post was delayed until tomorrow afternoon. you're just strolling with kageyama and hinata, the carrothead wanted to show you the gryffindor seeker and the gryffindor beater's skills at the quidditch field, and you were making your way there, but a pretty girl with glasses comes up to the three of you, and hands you a poster for a stargazing event to welcome new and senior students to hogwarts.
"you guys should check out if you're interested! now, i've gotta go pass these on to the others!"
the girl ran, she ran at impressive speeds, like she was born to be a track athlete. you stared at the poster in your hands, the two boys peering behind you to see what's up.
'stargazing event for old and new students at 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm at the astronomy tower. food catered by the house elves! (professors agreed to let us do this.)'
there was an enchanted moving picture below the text, the stars were shooting across the night sky, above hogwarts. despite looking so hastily printed, it's still quite impressive. hinata showed amusement and showed amusement at the poster and the upcoming event that happens in an hour.
"ooh.. seems cool! wanna go, kageyama?"
"that's stupi—"
"i'd like to go, free food is free food."
you shrugged, hinata nodded and threw finger guns your way, and anticipated an answer from the boy with hair colored like the night sky.
"... free food wouldn't be so bad."
hinata quite literally jumped for joy, and you three decided to pass the time by slowly strolling to the astronomy tower, since you're pretty far from it, seeing as you're near the greenhouses. you continued talking to both of them, but you notice kageyama stop in his tracks, and he looks up at the both of you.
"i think i forgot something, i'll go back to the divination classroom, i think i'll make it on time if i ever find it immediately, you go on ahead."
as much as kageyama hates being left behind by his rival and friend, hinata, this time he strangely decides to not come along.
"well, you're gonna miss out on everything, since you couldn't even find your quill when you placed it under your book."
hinata commented. he was referencing to the transfiguration class earlier that afternoon, when professor mcgonagall wanted us to take notes, but kageyama couldn't find his quill.
"oh, fuck off."
kageyama huffed, and jogged straight for the divination classroom. when the time came, you were at the charms classroom's entrance, near the astronomy tower. there were already lots of students by the time you got there. hinata's eyes sparkled at how pretty the entrance of the astronomy tower looked. there were floating lanterns, with balls of light that looked like stars in them, and bright ravenclaw blue ribbons and sashes hanging above the entrance. the students seemed to have dates or have brought their romantic partners along. you see familiar faces, like the slytherin twins from earlier, atsumu and osamu miya, with gorgeous girls from the houses of gryffindor and ravenclaw, even kuroo, with a boy that looked like a girl, with short bob hair that looked to be dyed blonde, as the roots of his hair were black. he seemed to be best friends with him, he seemed disinterested in the astronomy event as a whole, since he's just reading.
"woah, good job, g.g.g!'
hinata said, with an impressed voice and crossed arms.
"g.g.g? what's that?"
"gorgeous glasses girl! y'know the girl from earlier?"
you laughed, hinata's got such a creative mind, making all sorts of remarks here and there. kuroo waved and greeted you with a smile, dragging the poor ravenclaw along, the boy grimaces, as kuroo takes his book, and sort of 'confiscates' it.
"heyy, (name)! and of course, hello, shrimpy."
at the mention of the nickname 'shrimpy', the boy beside him, became a little less disinterested, his scowl transforming into a blank face, his eyes sparkling in interest juuuust a little at hinata. you're willing to bet they're really close. hinata wraps his arm around the two tone haired boy's shoulders, and they continue chatting about quidditch, quidditch teams, and if he (pudding head) will continue being a seeker after suffering a major injury. it seems that the pudding haired boy broke his arm in his last quidditch match, and it hit his motivation really badly. but then, it hits you, hinata's distracted, and he's slowly walking toward the astronomy tower without you.
"hey, hinata! hey— ugh, it's no use, he's incredibly distracted."
"haha, when they're talking, especially if they haven't seen eachother in so long, it's almost like they're in their own world."
kuroo crossed his arms, and watched them walk away.
"besides, you've got me now! i'm interesting to talk to, y'know!"
"you're interesting when you're interesting, and that's not right now."
"ouch."
-
inside the tower, there were tables with roll-top chafing dishes in all shapes, similar to a muggle buffet. the food ranged from salads, pastries, meat dishes, desserts and drinks. the students were at the astronomy tower's railings, admiring the stars, there were a group of students who volunteered to sing on a built stage, dressed in shiny suits and dresses, singing songs in the genre of 'bossa nova'. kuroo had acompanied you in the tower, talking, or rather, complaining about how your brother's a little too charming for his tastes, and about how he's using that charm to weasel away from trouble, and left the blame onto him or his friends. well, that didn't sound uncharacteristic of him, you're speaking from experience, you didn't even bother to resonate with him since it's not like you've never tried to flutter your eyelashes a bit too hard to get yourself out of trouble. like brother, like sister.
but kuroo got a little caught up in the small crowd of his admirers, immediately healing his ego, and let you 'go on ahead'. you're fine with him just talking to someone and staying beside him, but this is still about the third time this has happened that evening. your mind wandered to the location of kageyama, and if he managed to find the item he's searching for, while swishing the party punch you've got in a glass, in your hands. some guys tried to get your attention, but you didn't bother. later, most of the girls in the room with you suddenly squealed. your brother, was fashionably late as usual. 'the best man in the room always comes late.' he always said that as an excuse when he's late for dinner, when he really just was snooping around your mum and dad's stuff from their time at hogwarts. oikawa approaches you, but you notice he has no partner. you look at him, confused.
"thought i'd show some decency and make a good impression on you."
"so you're only indecent when i'm.. not around?"
your brother hisses, obviously embarassed by how you took his words, but he knows you like to joke around.
"i'm surprised you're not in slytherin, seeing how your comments are."
"well, i know my limits."
"you know, we haven't had a proper conversation the entire day."
"i mean, i was busy with adjusting to a new environment."
he nods. then, from his robe's pockets, he takes out a box, one that's old, the printed red color on it is cracked, and he placed it in your hands.
"what's this?"
"the thing you gave me before you left with dad. you told me to return it to you when we meet again, but i couldn't find the right time to."
you look down at the box, and opened it. the specially enchanted mokeskin pouch that your parents had enchanted to share between yourselves, and a note, containing the promise of returning the box to you. you take out the pouch, and you opened it, inside was pictures of the two of you with your parents on vacation in romania, your mother's color changing gloves, and the invisible ink you bought with your first allowance of 40 galleons. your eyes softened at the items, and the memories that came with them, and you looked up at your brother with an emotional face.
"i thought you forgot."
"i certainly almost did."
you were slowly getting used to talking to your brother again, and it felt so warm being with family in an unfamiliar place. you look around, craning your neck to sort out a person in the crowd of red, yellow, green and blue.
"who are you looking for? you have a date or something, eh? eeeehhh?"
your brother squints his eyes at you, curious of who was able to convince his sister, despite your comfortable and chill personality, you usually refuse any advances that involve outright flirting.
"excuse you, i don't have one. just a friend i'm waiting for."
"that's exactly how it sounds like. a date."
"do you actually know what a date is?"
"you're asking the right person!"
you waved violently once you spotted the person you were waiting for—
"tobio kageyama! over here!"
"his full legal name, and everything. also, kageyama? that guy's your date?"
you lower your hand, once kageyama sees you, he was coming towards the both of you, then backs away a little bit once he sees oikawa.
"tobio, it's fine, just pretend he doesn't exist, did you ever find what you were looking for?"
"hey, you're not answering me!"
"oh, good evening, uhm, oikawa..? i never managed to find anything, so i'll have to continue looking before curfew."
"just call me (name), we're both oikawa, so it's kind of weird."
kageyama nods, but the tall toddler next to you is just looking between the gryffindor, and you. sort of like a 'what's your relationship with him???' you completely block your brother's prescence from your sight. he notices, and with a huff, he pushes the two of you away from eachother.
"you ought to stop.. being so.. so... frivolous!"
the chocolate haired boy you call your only sibling, sternly yells, and glares at the both of you, the other students glancing your way.
"what was that for?"
"it's almost to 10:30, so you two best be off to bed in your seperare houses, no boy and girl action shall happen between you kids, you hear?"
"hey, i was born 20 minutes earlier than you, you have no right to tell me what my bedtime is and the professors clearly allowed us to stay up past curf—"
the 20 minute younger oikawa sibling pushes both you and kageyama out of the astronomy tower, from the top, down the stairs, complaining about how he's acting like the older sibling, quite embarassing being babied by your younger by a few minutes brother. he heads back up and on his way up the stairs, he kept glancing at the both of you.
"he's weird."
kageyama remarked. you had nothing to say but you just gave him a nod to say that you definitely agree.
"should we go back up?"
kageyama looked down at you.
"no, i'm pretty sure tooru will stop us."
"fair point, i think that the professors might show up to interrupt to make sure that the party ends by 10:30."
he shrugged. at this point, you two were pretty tired.
"i'll just go to bed then, it's better if i sleep early anyways."
you raised your hand for a moment and dropped it, a lazy goodbye to the gryffindor behind you. but he calls out your name.
"(name)!"
you turn to the boy, a short distance seperates you two. you hummed to acknowledge his calling.
"i, uh.. isn't it rude to let a girl walk alone?"
"no? i don't think it is."
"oh, uhm, see you tomorrow.."
his cheeks were dusted with a light pink, and just awkwardly waved, and he walked in the seperate direction. weird. but you unknowingly turned down kageyama's very vague offer to walk you to your house's common room.
-
after a long walk from the astronomy tower to the hufflepuff girls dorms, you flop onto your bed, uniform still on, you're not even bothering to change into a nightgown. you rolled around in the sheets for a while, waiting for your eyes to feel heavy and fall asleep while practicing the spells of 'nox' and 'lumos'. the light flickers from the tip of your wand, as you say the required words for the spell to work, you were getting sleepy, your hand slowly letting go of your wand. before it slips through as your hands relax, a loud tap is heard on the glass of your window. you simply dismiss it. then, a louder tap echoes through the room, waking you up.
"oh, merlin's beard! what is that sound!?"
you drag yourself from your bed and assessed the window, the glass has been shaped, and you could barely make up what's outside. all you know is that the culprit of the window tapping is round. you open your window, to see a crow. a very beautiful one, its beak was holding onto a teeny tiny roll of parchment, a cloth rolled into it with very familliar patterns, tied shut into a neat bow, by a midnight blue silk ribbon.
"you got a message for me, little guy?"
you hold out your hand, so it can just drop it onto there and go back to its owner. it did, but it never left your side. you unroll the piece of paper, revealing the hankerchief your mother gave you before you went to america with your dad. the paper under it reads;
'you dropped this, be careful of your belongings.'
and nothing else was attatched. you were wondering why the crow wouldn't leave when messenger birds were usually trained to leave immediately after someone recieves something they brought. you squint at the object reteurned to you, and you look through your pockets to find they were empty. so you really dropped it.
"thank you, feathery friend. you can leave, but before you do.."
you tied the ribbon included with your missing hankerchief onto its neck, and the bird flew away. 'what a strange bird.' you thought. and you decided that was a sign for you to change into your nightgown and not sleep in your uniform.
-
the next day wasn't so bad, you were a little more familliar with the layout of the school, though you almost were late to charms class. speaking of charms, you just finished the class, and all of you were dismissed by professor flitwick early, since he figured that the next lesson would be too much to fit into one class. you had actually befriended the boys that you sat next to, the miya twins, though they were not your type of people, they were easy to get along with. one of your favorite moments in your first charms class would be when professor flitwick asked if you could magically persuade a pineapple to dance off your desk, and the miya twins just blasted their pineapples off the desk.
"well, professor, ya did say that we'd have 'ta get the pineapples off our desks, magically!" atsumu argued.
"and they did spin 'round a little.. wouldn't that count as a dance?" osamu backed his brother up.
"no, you blasted it using flipendo, and they didn't dance. two points from slytherin."
you chuckled to yourself at their ridiculous behavior. you felt a finger tap at your right shoulder, you turned, there was nothing there, then at your left, still nothing. you frantically turn and find the miya twins snickering at you.
"heya, pretty! ya ready for some lunch? we got great people to introduce ya to at our table!"
atsumu wrapped his arm around your shoulder. but osamu just stays by your side, students pass by, heading to the great hall or talking to their friends. you smile at atsumu, but in the distance behind him, was kageyama, with messed up hair, and a very disappointed professor mcgonagall scolding him for missing transfiguration, while on his way to the great hall. you look at him, he's pretty fucked up looking. his necktie isn't even tied, and he forgot one of his socks. then you notice, a silky, shiny blue ribbon, tied to his pinky finger. that very same midnight blue ribbon that you tied to the crow last night.
".. what the.."

liv... do you have smth for oikawa perhaps? 👉👈
[yes ofc!! here's a wip that features a very small reference my fav HC aka iwa being half filipino]
He’s not a university student. 
And if he is, he’s either completely brilliant or the laziest academic you’ve ever seen.
He shows up a few times a week with some variation of the same three friends: the one with strawberry coloured hair whose standing order is a white chocolate mocha with no espresso (which makes it a white hot chocolate, though you never correct him); the second a tall, dark-haired young man with a smooth voice and expressive eyebrows that betray his impassive stare, who usually orders just a medium latte made extra hot and who sips it over a long period of time, never asking for a refill even though you’d be happy to give him one on the house; and the third is Iwaizumi Hajime. 
You know Iwaizumi from school, he’s a student in the same Intro to Basic Human Anatomy course as you are, and you recognize him the first time he comes into the cafe you work in, a few weeks into the school year. He doesn’t introduce you to his friends, but you learn their names thanks to taking their orders enough times: white chocolate mocha (no mocha) for Makki, extra hot latte for Mattsun, small dark roast for Iwa.
And a caramel macchiato for Oikawa.
Oikawa is the aforementioned worst (possible) student in the world.
You know this because while he might show up with some or all of the other three boys, he is the only one you’ve never seen crack a textbook while they sit at their table in the cafe. No, he generally is leaning back casually in his chair, talking for hours while the other boys work, even though they don’t seem to be paying much (if any) attention to him. 
So either he is the type of smart that means he doesn’t have to study, he’s the type of stupid who thinks he doesn’t need to, or he’s just not a student at all.
He doesn’t seem overly bothered by the fact that his friends aren’t paying attention to him, even when Mattsun puts his headphones in right next to him, even when Makki slumps down in his seat to hide (poorly) his face from his friend. Iwa seems to be the one most bothered by it though, and you overhear him threatening violence on more than one occasion if Oikawa doesn’t ‘shut the fuck up’ while he’s trying to study.
It all comes to a head right around midterm season. The four boys are at their usual table, and have been for most of the day, and you overhear an outburst. You peek you head around the espresso machine to catch a glimpse, and find Oikawa rubbing his forehead tenderly, Iwaizumi clutching a heavy kinesiology textbook in his hands which (you can only assume) he just used to bludgeon him.
“You’re so mean, Iwa!” Oikawa whines, nursing his wound. “Who else am I supposed to talk to?” 
“Literally anyone else! Unless you want me to fail this midterm and flunk the course and you can explain to my nanay why I have to repeat it next summer and also pay the tuition fees.”
Oikawa pouts, standing up from the table dramatically with his empty macchiato glass and stalking towards the counter.
Towards you.
And that’s where it all starts.

Half-Korean Mattsun is entering my domain.
His mom is half-Korean, and an expatriate (though high-end white collar worker) who came to work in Japan and married Mattsun's dad. Mattsun inherited his curly hair and tanned skin from his mom.
Even though they have Korean blood, they never watch any K-drama or listen to Kpop.
Mattsun's mom is good at English (obv due to the nature of her job) and his dad is good at it too. So their family became a sorta multi-language-y household, where both English, Korean, and Japanese are exchanged. Mattsun is fluent in English because of that, but he's most fluent in Japanese (Korean comes third).
Mattsun, Iwa, and Oikawa are fluent in English (they probably speak more than English and Japanese). Oikawa has a language ability (Japanese, Portuguese, English, Spanish), Iwa is half-Filipino and has Filipino American relatives (so he speaks Japanese, Filipino, some Chinese, English), even though his mom speaks only Japanese to him and his dad, and Mattsun's home uses a lot of languages. Hanamaki has no idea what's going on whenever these three speaks English, but he finds that they are very useful to travel with. He's proud because having 3 trilingual friends where trilingualism is uncommon is a pretty good feat.

weirdly specific aoba johsei headcanons
oikawa is a younger brother, but specifically in the way that his sister is like 7 years older than him (and she went to college), so he’s been raised as an only child (aka with his own room and bathroom, and no one else bothering him) since he was like 11.
iwaizumi is half filipino on his mothers side and he visits the philippines a couple times a year to see his cousins. he takes photos whenever he goes and makes sure he has photos of his cousins flipping off the camera to show oikawa.
hanamaki can play the flute, can ride a motorcycle, and can surf but can barely do basic math and confuses his left and right sides. he says he’s “focusing on real life skills” but that’s code for “i only remember what i want to know.”
matsukawa’s the only third year with a license, and he only has it because— since his parents were too busy working to provide for the family— he had to get it quick so he could drive his two younger siblings to places. he drives all the third years everywhere and pretends to hate it.
yahaba has a condition where his hair is naturally white, but he dyes it brown to fit in. he also started keeping it brown when he started admiring oikawa, and even started copying his skin and hair routines.
kyoutani has two pet dogs— one he found starving on the street and helped heal, and the other he found in a pound missing a limb— and he would die for them. most of the time when he’s skipping school, it’s for his dogs (or working a less than legal job to support them) but he’d rather die than admit that, so he keeps up the bastard persona(?) for it.
watari is the only person besides oikawa who has rizz, but he doesn’t even want it. watari has lots of girls flirting with him but he doesn’t want a relationship. he constantly brags to the third and second years about it and how he doesn’t even have to try.
kindaichi lives with his single mother and they are barely getting by. he’s a mommy’s boy but in a “i’ll literally die for my overworked, exhausted mother.” makki and mattsun noticed how he wouldn’t bring lunches, so they would be like “it’s so annoying how my mom packed me an extra sandwich. you can have it” or “the vending machine glitched and it gave me two bags of chips, you want it?”
kunimi has an incredibly strict schedule for sleeping and cannot sleep for more than half an hour without having an eye mask, tea, and either lofi music or asmr playing through his headphones. team sleepovers are hell for him because he gets constant (joking) shit about it.

Half filipino iwaizumi hajime who serenades you - harana - and would give you flowers and would court you no matter how long it takes just to hear you say 'yes'
definitely identifies as japanese more than anything -- and no one really knows he's half, really -- but sometimes he comes home to the insistence of his mother and grandmother, finds himself wishing he were staying for a few more days. starts to remember summer visits when he's nine years old. he's sullen at first about having to spend an entire summer away from oikawa, even though oikawa is annoying -- and having to spend it with other people he barely knows, which is, he tells his mother, even more annoying.
he meets you in the middle of their welcome home party. it's full of food he doesn't like, people who don't know the concept of personal space, a lot of jumbled words he doesn't understand. he's in the middle of a whirlpool, spinning on, and on, and on, bodies surrounding like water, when you come in: shoved, rather unceremoniously, in his direction. the rules that govern it are simple, really. ages? close enough. have you seen each other before? when you were toddlers. all is good, your mothers say. you've met each other before. go play with each other for at least two hours so the adults can drink and gossip.
you ask him, why is your name like that? saying it in english, because they ordered you to talk to him that way.
he answers, it's 'cause my grandpa is named hajime, in english too, because he's just following your lead here. yours is a tiny bit better than his, but you understand each other well enough, in that the-goal-is-to-play way kids do, and by the time you've invited him for a game of tag (which he knows, and is good at), then chinese garter (which he kind of doesn't understand the concept of when you bend your ankle that way, but gets it after you and the other kids on the street help him out), then luksong baka (which he takes to like fish to water, and remembers oikawa immediately, and promises himself that he'd ask him to play this the moment he got home).
you share an icepop from the tiangge, blue, because the red tastes like medicine, you say; you buy him gold coins, and his teeth get chocolate-stained by the time four o'clock rolls around, and a confetti of gold wrapper lays around your slippers, on the pavement; spits out his first-ever yakee, after the first bite, face contorted so much at the taste that you laugh, blowing out a bubble with your own.
he learns a new word that summer, retains one out of all the hundreds. his mother asks him who packed it on the plane back to miyagi, this word to bring back. he answers it was you. his mother smiles so largely, goes on a tangent about how she and your mother were high school classmates, and would get into all kinds of trouble together, which she isn't allowed to tell you about (they would steal flowers from the church, when they were younger, you said to him conspiratorily; then when they were older, would get drunk on tuba from someone's grandfather; you know this, you inform him, because of your amazing detective skills-- your aunts told you), then altogether forgets what his word was. then she remembers to ask him, just before their plane lands. tangina, he says proudly.
you told him it means good luck.
then the summers come and go. sometimes he comes back, sometimes he doesn't, until a rhythim falls. he visits every two years. the year he's twelve: you become shy, not at all like when you were nine. he becomes ... brash, in a way that covers his overly-gentle nature, the need to nurture people. he sits near you on the sofa, party in full swing, and the two of you don't talk for at least 30 minutes until he says, did you forget about me? and you answer, no, and everything is as it was, as it's supposed to be.
the year he's fourteen: you meet him about a week into his vacation. you were on vacation yourself with some of your dad's family, a couple of hours away. the moment you return though, you're at his house, knocking on his door, asking to see him. that year, he asks if they can stay for a week longer.
the year he is sixteen: you see him at a computer shop, those connected headphones that stick twined around his head, at seven in the evening. you know the guy behind the counter -- was a couple of years ahead of you in school, his mother was your teacher, his father's the second cousin of the sister-in-law of your third cousin -- so it's all really just one big happy family affair when you yank the (confirmed, stinky) headphones from his head and say, and not in english anymore, your mother was looking all over for you. she's out of her mind, and your grandmother is going to spit out a lung if she sighs one more time --! he knows what you mean well enough, from tone alone. the guy behind the counter sniggers, man, you shouldn't have paid for open time.
he refuses to be dragged out of his seat, though, because he fixes you with the most scathing glare you've ever come across, and says, says something you don't remember, really, but you can feel is him asking for five more minutes in the game. so you wait, hands across your chest, your hip on the counter. the game ends, and he reclines, -- i told them i'd play with my friends for a while.
your japanese friends? you ask.
i’m japanese, too, he reminds you, and you scrunch your nose, murmuring about how he’s never taught you any of the words—
he reminds you that his mother still doesn’t appreciate being called a son of a bitch, on that first plane ride.
give me your email, he commands. you lean into his space, replacing his fingers on the keyboard, as you click in your address. you’re not going to email me, probably, you tell him, bitter. he scowls even more.
you get a message from him a day after he returns home. the subject title reads, you’re wrong, and within it is a few pictures of a landscape entirely unfamiliar to you — clean air, winding pavements, a haze of cherry trees and cold colors.
you shoot him an email back. pictures of your school uniform, your dog, his grandmother in the middle of a game of mahjong — she’s swimming, you caption, look at her hands.
he returns: this is oikawa. he’s a shit.
you send a picture back of your friends, telling him, they all know about you. you’re kind of a legend here, hajime.
the exchanges are in contrasting in light. japan, to you, seems like such an ideal place, without discomfort. not at all like this island, where everything is hot and sticky, and dust keeps clinging to the windowsill.
you send him a link of a blurry youtube video, one of your surfing tournaments, you disappearing into the tunnel of a wave — look at my form! you say.
shiiiiiit, he replies, that’s so fucking cool.
your mothers don’t know you’re talking, still, exchanging emails and bits and pieces of places so far from each other, but by the time the summer of 18 comes, it’s like the two of you have never known separation. there’s something correct about it, about talking to each other — like talking to someone without fear of lack of understanding, like no matter how odd the topic, so removed, it would turn out all right.
you take him out to a bar, kind-of makeshift, with a karaoke machine at the center and plastic seats and laminated menus with dirt clinging to the edges, order a six pack of redhorse. he looks at you sourly when you take out your cigarettes, but he turns overly hostile when you scatter the ashes into the bottle, watching it fizzle to the bottom, he all but growls, you trynna die?
i can only afford six, you tell him, so we gotta get drunk quickly.
aren’t you supposed to be conditioning, he asks you.
tomorrow. promise. you cross your fingers. i’ll start tomorrow.
you spend the whole of tomorrow hugging the toilet seat, hajime with his arms on his hips, all smug at the back.
he makes your training his responsibility, and you’re driven to new heights of suffering, it takes a whole lot of self control to stop yourself from shoving his face into the sand. you dunk his head, and groan in frustration when it doesn’t budge.
he turns out to like isaw to an unhealthy degree, but would give you all his sticks if you asked for it. you consider kissing him in front of the sidewalk stall that sells barbecue, under the sizzling haze of smoke and oil clinging to shirts. you don’t though, but there’s a look on his face that tells you he wants to, too. but then where would it lead you? there’s no path for this, and the two of you are too active individuals to allow yourselves to be in a relationship made passive by the distance.
that summer is the last. he goes to california for college, the emails dwindle — you go to college, keep competing in tournaments, but never allow yourself to go pro. the mandated two-year visits stop. you get news about him from third-party sources, and all you do is respond politely. you get a nursing degree and start shifts at the local hospital, and sometimes you remember a childhood sweetheart you’ve never kissed, but by the time you sigh there’s another thing that occupies your mind.
by the time you’re 26, hajime’s cousin gets engaged, and family trickles back down to the roots to attend the wedding. you don’t expect him to come home — he’s too far removed, and his home and your home are not synonymous, but on your walk back home from a shift in the early morning, there he is, sitting on your doorstep.
did you forget about me? he asks, unsure, handsome and older, hands clasped together with his elbows at his knees.
you reply, smiling, no.

hi liv! reading your oikawa wip reminded me of my love for half filo iwa 🥹🥹🥹 scraping tumblr for half filo content at the moment 🥹🥹🥹 i just know that half filo iwa has forced oikawa to eat balut.
Tumblr media
half filo iwa the universally beloved boy that u areeeee!! furudate should (in my opinion) just make it canon. like immediately.
also i LOVE the idea of iwa (ESPECIALLY iwa's mom) feeding toto lots of filipino foods growing up bc tooru strikes me as the type to rly enjoy a diverse variety of international foods/dishes and it all started w the iwaizumi family (it also helps him a lot when he moves to argentina/travels as an adult bc he's always keen to try new things!!)

Iwa stays in Santa Barbara with his Filipino relatives when he goes to California, and speaks both English and Spanish - which he learnt to be able to communicate with Oikawa once he played for Argentina.
When Oikawa was invited to Iwa's home in Santa Barbara as a fiancé, he spoke fluent Spanish and was able to communicate with Iwa's relatives. They were skeptical of him at first, but found him pleasant because of his humor and language skills, which they did not see in any girl Iwa has dated.
Iwa's grandmother is Chinese-Filipino, and his mother is Filipino while his dad is Japanese, so he was able to juggle between 3 languages.
