Your Point Of View

From the end of the hallway, you could see your brother standing in front of your bedroom door. It had gotten dark out and you decided it was time to leave the gardens and retire for the night. Your maid was already making her way to the kitchen to fetch your dinner and prepare a tea that the royal physician promised would help you sleep better through the night.

Of course, there was no knight with your brother. The only thing by his side was his sword. He still enjoyed the privilege of only being guarded when it was actually needed.

None of your previous guards had been assigned to follow you wherever you went. When they were with you, they were supposed to keep you safe and what was the point of keeping you safe inside the walls of your own home? It was the general consensus at court that only the king was to be guarded day and night. You have had knights who protected you when you left the castle or when you went to a big gathering like the feasts your father would hold on special occasions. But when no one other than the inhabitants of the castle were around, you had been free to spend your time without a knight by your side. After all, there were enough people that made sure that the castle was guarded and it was thought that no one who could harm you could make their way in.

That was until the last time your father had called together possible suitors for you, the only princess of the kingdom. Two of them had fought in the throne room, in front of theit king - a thing no one had seen coming. Your father was adamant about keeping the peace and keeping troublesome folks out of his castle. Of course there had been times when some of the men gathered at court had tried to settle their differences with a fight, but all of those fights had been caused by political differences or because someone had been insulted. This had been the first time that it had happened because of you. It scared both of you, your father and you. But the decision to tighten the circle drawn around you still hadn't been yours.

All your life, you had noticed the circle your family drawn around you. It limited all of your freedom. All of the space you had been allowed to explore. Where you could go. What you could do. Who you were allowed to talk to. And now, what you were allowed to do on your own - which was practically nothing.

Kita was supposed to be around you all the time. He had little time off, during the night and in the morning, someone else looked after your safety. Then, when you had woken up, gotten dressed and had your breakfast, he would start his duties for the day. He would only leave you for a little while to eat his lunch while you ate yours with your family, surrounded by your father’s guards. Kita would stay with you until you went back to your chambers to retire for the night, which was where you were going right now.

Your brother's eyes found yours and even from a distance, you could see curiosity glimmering in them. They moved from you to Kita, then back to you. Of course, he was here to interrogate you about the newest addition of royal knights.

“Ethan,” you nodded to greet him.

“My prince,” Kita bowed behind you.

Your brother smiled at the two of you. Oh, he was so going to ask you about him. “I've been waiting for you.” You wished you could just wipe that grin off his face. “I just wanted to talk to you for a bit. Why don't we go inside?”

He gestured towards the wooden door that rarely anyone other than you and your maids passed. He let you step in first and turned around to face Kita before following you.

“I think the princess is safe enough with me around. Why don't you go and find the night guard and then retire for the day, Sir Kita?”

Your knight glanced past your brother's figure to you, the slightest hesitation visible in his expression.

“It's alright, Sir Kita. I will see you tomorrow.” You gave him a reassuring smile without even wanting to.

Normally, you made sure that there was a certain distance between you and your knights. The last thing you ever wanted to do was make them believe that you were a woman who was interested in anything other than a practical relationship with her knight. It was your duty to marry a lord your father would pick out for you, so there was no point in searching for love and romance anywhere else. Though you were sure that a lot of the stories of ladys you knew being intimate with their knights while being married to someone else were true, that was not what you wanted to be. It was a princess’ duty to make sure she was respected and to make sure that there was no reason for every people to gossip about or speak lowly of her.

So that was why you always made sure to be a little distanced from your knights. But with Kita, you couldn't help but feel more at ease. It was obvious that he was one of the few people who believed in their duty, who wanted to serve and better their kingdom and lived for the things they believed in, who thought honor and duty to be above anything. He wouldn't make an inappropriate move on you - you hoped. So it was alright to show him a little softness, right? Especially after the scare you gave him earlier today, you still felt a little bad for him and didn't want him to feel like he was failing at his duty once again.

With your reassurance, he bowed again and moved to leave you while your brother closed the door to your bedroom.

“So,” he smirked. “Heard he's a scaredy cat.”

You rolled your eyes at his comment and made your way to the table you normally ate at. “You people will twist someone's words to fit your gossip.”

You took two cups from the middle of the table and poured a little wine into each one.

“Not at all.” Ethan stepped behind you and accepted one of the cups from your hands. “It's just a bit unusual to hear a knight admit that he's scared of dying. Makes him sound like he'll run away from a fight instead of protecting you.” The mischievous gleam was now gone from his eyes and replaced with a serious expression you rarely saw on your brother's face during a private conversation. “Do you really believe that he is the right man to protect you?”

“I know what you're thinking. What you're all thinking.” You shot him a warning look over the edge of your cup. “But I don't know any of the men father has picked out to be my knight. I can't trust any of them completely.”

“Of course not,” Ethan huffed. “But why would you pick out the one man who admits that he is scared to die? Why not pick someone who is ready to fight and die for you if need be?”

“What, like the other one's I've had?” A pained look crossed your brother's face when you said that. “The last ones I've had were just like that, ready to jump into a fight head first - and jump they did. Jumped and left me defenseless.” You looked at the floor and felt like you could still see a puddle of blood by your feet. “I want someone who won't get himself killed in front of my eyes. That might be him. And I don't think that he's someone who will run away from his duty. Do you?"

Your brother sighed and pulled out a chair to sit down. “I don't know, y/n. I really don't know. All I know is that so far all of your knights have done nothing but bring more harm to you. I do not want to see you suffer like that again.”

You sat down next to him. It surprised you that he was expressing his concerns for you this freely. Your brother loved you, of course he did. You knew that - he was your brother after all. But usually, he would tease you and poke a little fun at you, like most siblings do. Your conversations were funny and light hearted. It was rare for him to talk to you so seriously about such a sensitive topic. You weren't even aware that he knew how much you had been suffering because of the deaths of the other knights. It was nice to know that at least someone other than Alysane really cared about your wellbeing.

“I know some other good knights that would make a good protector and could replace him if needed. Just promise me that you'll tell me if you feel like he isn't the right man for you, alright?”

“ ‘The right man for me’? I think father is already taking care of that,” you chuckled, though it came out dry and humorless.

“You know what I mean.” He gave you a stern look. “Anyway, father put the search for a husband on hold for now. I think he's worried about more fights breaking out. So you have to wait for that man anyway.”

Your fingers traced the edge of your cup. Would this be your escape one day? You've seen more than one woman succumb to the numbing properties of wine after getting married.

“I don't want any of them, Ethan,” you whispered.” None of them care about what I want. Father doesn't care about what I want. No one cares about what I want.” You had no idea what possessed you to say this to him, but it felt like you were just desperately trying to push a huge weight off of your shoulders.

“That's not true. You know that that's not true.”

“Oh, really? When has he ever consulted me in the search for my husband? Not once has he asked me what I want in a husband! All that he cares about is a good political match.” This was why you never talked about serious topics with your brother. Never did he understand you!

“He is the king. He has to keep the peace. That is his duty and the duty of the whole royal family. He did his duty when he made peace after the uprising in the east. I did my duty when I fought in a war for our house. Now it is time for you to do yours.”

The tone in his voice was harsh and cold, letting you know that it was best not to talk back. He lifted his cup to his lips before emptying it in one go and slamming it back onto the table.

“Think about that while you can.” With that, he pushed himself up and strode out of the room.

Perhaps you were wrong. Perhaps there really was no one but Alysane who cared about your wellbeing.

You followed your brother's example and emptied your cup in one go. It left a bitter taste in your mouth. You should probably ask your maid to bring you a different one.

The next day, Kita walked suspiciously close to you as he accompanied you to the garden once again. He was on edge and shot you side glances every few seconds. Every now and then, you would catch his hand moving out of the corner of your eye whenever you strayed a bit away from him, almost like he wanted to reach out and hold onto you. Of course, he would never dare and actually touch you unless his duties required it of him, but right now you felt like he wanted to make sure you didn't get lost, like he wanted to make sure that you were still next to him.

On any other man, that kind of behavior might have made you feel unsafe and on edge, but with him, it was different. It was obvious that he didn't mean to be possessive or to touch you inappropriately - after all, he didn't even touch you. All he wanted to do was not lose you. And the fact that he was doing this was probably a consequence of your own actions from the day before.

You knew better than to leave your guards' side. More than once you had witnessed knights being punished for leaving their charge unattended. It was their job - their sworn duty - to give their all, even their life if need be, to make sure they were safe. If they failed, the consequences would be dire. You knew that. You knew all of that. And on any other occasion, you would have been more attentive but having a knight with you in the royal garden.. that was an entirely new experience to you. You truly had just forgotten that he was even supposed to be with you. Today, you would make sure it didn't happen again.

The tea you had tried yesterday did not help you sleep at all. If anything, it made you stay up longer because you were so desperately trying to fall asleep. Maybe it didn't help as much because the herbs in it were already dried two years ago? Perhaps picking fresh herbs and making a new tea would help you.

Deep down, you knew, of course, that that was just wishful thinking. There was no tea to help you, no meal or drink that could make the images of death and blood dissappear from your mind. They were engraved into your memory forever and you could never get rid of them. But perhaps wandering around the garden and busying yourself with the searching, picking and drying of the herbs would keep you distracted from those thoughts.

As you strolled through the gardens you let the sun warm your face. Every now and then you would stop and just let its rays catch on your cheeks. The sun bathed the flowers and plants that had just started to grow after the end of winter in a beautiful light. Little bees and butterflies were busy flying from one flower to another and you could hear the quiet hum of their wings as the passed by you. It felt like everything around you was coming back to life. It almost made you angry.

Why did everything around you have to be so alive, so happy and free while you were being locked away? Why did every little bee and mosquito get to fly wherever they wanted but you, princess of the kingdom, were doomed to stay inside the castle walls forever? Only to be shipped off to the man who would kiss your father's arse the best! Why you, why did it have to be you?! And why didn't anyone see how you were suffering!

Without even meaning to, you had started to just rip out the herbs that were growing in front of you. The basket you had placed on the ground beside your knees to keep the plants you had already picked up bumped against your arm when you ripped our fresh flowers only to throw them onto the ground next to where you kneeling. Intuitively, you gripped the handle of the basket and slammed the poor thing into the flowerbed where is dug into the soft ground and took the last few flowers down with it.

All of the pretty blossoms were smushed, covered in dirt and ripped from their stems. You had beheaded the little ones in front of you and tossed their bodies around until there was nothing left. No more blossoms for the bees to sit on and get their legs covered with pollen by. None for the butterflies to drink from. None for the ants to wander up and down on. None were left. And it was all your fault. Everything was your fault. You were all alone, and it was all your fault.

Your tears had started flowing down your face all on their own and now you couldn't stop them. Your chest heaved with heavy sobs. All you wanted to do was bring back the flowers you had destroyed. You were sorry, so sorry for what you did. It wasn't their fault that these things were happening to you, you were just so irritated and tired and frustrated with everyone and everything around you that you took out all of that frustration on them. And as you got more and more lost in those thoughts, you had destroyed every lovely thing around you until you were all alone.

Your hands started wiping at your face, at your eyes and your nose, trying to wipe off the tears and snot that was dripping down towards your chin. A hand started to move into your blurry field of vision, revealing a small handkerchief.

“Here, princess. Take this.”

Kita was kneeling next to you on one knee. One hand was on his propped up knee, the other one was still holding the handkerchief he had just offered to you. His face was calm but you could tell that he was really just trying to keep his facade up as to not upset you any more. If he was angry or sad, you could not tell.

“Thank you..” You couldn't bring your voice to rise above a whisper but he didn't seem to care as he gently placed the cloth in your hand. It was much softer than you had imagined a knight's handkerchief to be and you couldn't help but wonder if a woman had gifted it to him.

The same hand that had given you the handkerchief was now picking up your sad, little basked. The handle was broken and a few of the wooden strands were sticking out from the sides, but it was still usable. Kita carefully brushed off some of the dirt and started placing the flowers in it that weren't completely broken. His hands were big and rough from the work he did, but they still moved quickly and carefully, not one flower was crushed in between his calloused fingers. Watching him work his way through the battlefield of plants you had left behind was almost calming. It was a shame you didn't get to see him pick flowers more often. Perhaps in another life, he was a gardener. Or maybe even a farmer.

After he was done, he placed the basket back where it stood before you decided to punish it for things it didn't even do.

“What can I do, princess?”

Dumbfounded, you just stared back at him, half of your face still hidden by the now dirty handkerchief. His eyes seemed to pierce into yours, like they were trying to look deep into your mind. It was too much for you to face. “Do?”

“You're.. upset. I want to know what I can do to help you.”

“Oh,” you gave him a sad smile while still avoiding his eyes. “Don't worry about it. It is nothing that you have to protect me from, no one is trying to harm me.”

“I am your knight, princess. It is my duty to protect you from whatever harm may come to you. Physical or otherwise.” He looked at you with genuine worry now. “Please, tell me what it is that is wrong. Or merely tell me what to do to make it better.”

He was really serious about this. He didn't just want to jump in front of a blade for you, he wanted to make sure you were safe. In every sense of the word. Even when it was out of his hands.

“..there is nothing you can do to help me.” You fiddled with the cloth in your hands. “I'm sorry I worried you. It's just..” what were you even doing? There was nothing this knight could do for you, to truly help you. There was nothing anyone could do for you. “I'm just really tired,” you smiled. “I get upset when I can't sleep well, that's all. I've been trying all kinds of things to help me sleep but nothing does.”

He could see right through you. You could see it in your eyes, he was reading you like an open book. You both knew that what you just said was a lie, that your insomnia wasn't the true catalyst of your outburst but thankfully, he decided to play along.

“My grandmother has shown me an herb or two that she likes to mix into her tea blends to drink before bed.” He rose back to his full hight. His broad shoulders cast a shadow over your face and stopped the sun from blinding you as you looked up at him. A few stray hairs stuck up from the sides of his face, ones you'd never noticed if the sun hadn't been shining right onto him. He offered you a hand to help you stand up. “Let me show them to you, my princess.”

His hand felt rough under your soft skin as you settled your hand into his palm. It made you dizzy how smoothly and quickly he pulled you back up to your feet, like he had been waiting his whole life just to do that.

Iwaizumi

For the past few days you’ve had an intense workload from your boss. It ate all your time as you’d spend overtime in the office. When you finally went home you still had to do papers which were extremely concerning for your boyfriend as you didn’t take breaks opting to only work continuously for hours. He carefully tapped your shoulder hoping not to surprise you as you were laser-focused into your work.

“OH HAJIME!” You flinched

“I didn’t see you there sorry” you nervously chuckled

“Hey Y/N don’t you think you need a break?” he asked worriedly

“I just need to finish a few more” you said going back to working

“You said that an hour ago” he deadpanned

“Oh sorry” you scratched your neck

“I promise I'll take a break after i finish this you smiled as” he sighed

“I’ll be watching you” he narrowed his eyes

You did keep your promise and took a break for about an hour and Hajime used it as an opportunity to spend time with you. After an hour though you went back to work despite your boyfriend scolding you for not taking a longer and much needed break to which you begged that it was only one more portion. He couldn't say no to your adorable pleading face so he agreed but he also decided to help you finish ignoring your pleas and insistence that you could do it yourself.

The next day you were currently in your office trying to manage all your workload. You were extremely stressed as due dates and deadlines were facing you waiting to be done. You tried masking the stress from your boss and co-workers, which made it worse as they added more workload. Luckily your shift ended so no more extra workload though fitting all the necessary papers in your suitcase was an arduous task for just one person. As soon as you triple-checked if everything was done you rushed to your house hopefully to have even a few minutes of break time. As soon as you got home you opened the door hopeful of seeing your boyfriend for comfort but to no avail he wasn’t there. You then opened your phone to call for his whereabouts only to see a text from him saying that he was hanging with some old friends. You sighed sadly as you now had to do your work alone. You grabbed a jug of coffee and went straight to work.

After a few hours you felt extremely exhausted. You’ve finished only a portion of the workload that is due in two days which was stressing you even more to the point where you started panicking and crying as you were convinced you would not get it done. You felt numb and helpless as you cried into the pillows of your couch. One part of your mind was telling you to call Hajime but another part didn’t want to disturb him. You knew how long it’s been since he hung out with his friends and you didn’t wanna ruin that but you were starting to lose your breath so you had no choice.

Meanwhile with Iwaizumi he was currently with Oikawa, Matsun and Maki finishing up their hangout session when his phone rang.

“Who’s calling” Matsun asked

“It’s Y/N” Iwaizumi replied

“Y/N-chan?! Pick it up! I wanna talk to her!” Oikawa said shaking Iwaizumi’s shoulders

“I will when you stop shaking my shoulders and sit your ass down” Iwaizumi scowled making Oikawa pout as the other two burst out in laughter

“Hello Y/n?” Iwaizumi said answering the call

“H-Hajime” you cried hiccupping and breathing intensely

“Y/N? What’s wrong, what happened, why are you crying?” Iwaizumi panicked as the others started to get worried

“I-I C-can” you tried saying though you couldn’t breathe properly from all the crying

“Don’t hang up I’ll be there as fast as I can” he said waving at the others goodbye and rushing to the taxis to get to your shared apartment

“Hey! Let me drive taxis are gonna take way too long” Oikawa said as Iwaizumi nodded and everyone got in the car

“Hey Y/N slowly breathe in and out” he said softly as you tried following his instructions

“Calm down alright we’ll be there in a flash” he continued

“Yeah when the flatass drives faster than a snail” Matsun rolled his eyes

“Can’t you drive any faster?” Maki yelled from the back

“THIS IS AS FAST I CAN GO WITHOUT SPEEDING” Oikawa yelled back

“JUST SHUT UP AND FOCUS ON DRIVING” Iwaizumi scolded loudly They all heard you laughing though still heard you hiccuping as an idea popped in Maki and Matsun’s mind

“Jeez Y/N if only you were here you’d be complaining with us” Maki said teasingly

“How’d he get his driving licence anyways?” Matsun asked

“Prolly failed a lot till he begged the instructor to just give him one” Maki smirked

Oikawa was about to start yelling till they all heard you laughing even more and calming down

“First of all I passed on my FIRST try. Secondly I DID NOT beg to pass my test. Thirdly she wouldn’t be complaining she’d smack your faces for making fun of me” Oikawa scowled angrily

“Pfft I doubt that” Iwaizumi rolled his eyes smiling as he heard you laugh even more

“Y/N-chan I’m not a slow driver right” Oikawa said sweetly

“I don’t know” you said teasingly as the hiccups slowly stopped

“You wound me Y/N-chan” Oikawa pouted sadly as Maki and Matsun burst out in laughter

They continued to tease and banter until they arrived at your apartment. Iwaizumi signalled the other three to stay outside the door while he slowly went in closing the door as he went inside.

“That’s no fair I wanna help Y/N-chan too” Oikawa quietly complained

“You’d make her feel worse though” Matsun scoffed quietly

“Yeah definitely” Maki chimed in

Iwaizumi sighed as he heard the three’s bantering. As he went towards the living room he saw you laying down on the couch quietly whimpering.

“Hey Y/N I’m here” he said as you immediately throw yourself on him hugging him tightly as you cried quietly

“Calm down It’s gonna be alright” he said softly combing your hair with his hand

“Let it all out we can talk when you’re alright” He continued placing a kiss on your hair as you continued crying

After a few minutes you stopped crying and decided to open up to your boyfriend.

“I’ve got too much work on my hands and it’s stressing me out especially with all the deadlines I don’t know if I can do it all” you confessed hugging him even more tightly

“Hey Y/N it’s ok don’t bite more than you can chew. If you need to take a break take a break I’ll deal with your boss myself” he said giving you a reassuring smile

“You don’t have to Hajime it’s fine really" you sadly smiled

“No you need a break whether you like it or not” Iwaizumi scolded lightly as you nodded in agreement

“Can we come in now?” You hear Oikawa yell followed by two loud smacks which you presumed to be on the back of his head

“SHUT UP NOT NOW” Maki and Matsun scolded in unison

“It’s alright you all can come in” you yelled as you laughed

“See i told you” Oikawa said sticking his tongue

“Woah what’s all this on the table” Maki said concerned

“Oh that’s work” you smile nervously

“No that’s hell” Matsun deadpanned as you chuckled

“I think someone needs a break” Oikawa said organising the papers

“Yeah we’ll do it for you just go take a break” Iwaizumi smiled as he went with the others to do the work for you

Most of the time was spent goofing around than actually doing the work but they eventually finished it and you all decided to watch movies until you all fell asleep. You were glad you had an amazing boyfriend and his goofy friends.

Kita

You were at school finishing some after school activities while your boyfriend Shinsuke was with his team practising for their upcoming practice match. You were supposed to help in managing their team though you were assigned to do a bunch of contests and prepare for upcoming exams in the next few days so you opted in preparing early so you wouldn't stress out too much. Currently you were fixing your classroom putting pretty decorations trying to make it look good when your teacher passed by.

“Oh Y/N! Perfect timing” your teacher said as you stood up to bow and greet her

“I was hoping you’d represent our class for the event about European historical figures” she asked

“I asked your other classmates and they all were busy with some other things so I was hoping I could ask you” she pleaded tiredly

“Oh well-” you said thinking whether to accept it as you had other things to do though seeing your teachers tired face you nervously accepted it

“Thank you Thank you Y/N! I promise your grades will benefit greatly!” she said as hastily running towards her office

You were now regretting your decision as not only were you already skipping managing the volleyball team to do decorations in your class you now have to make a costume and represent your class you also still need to do a ton more other activities and assignments.

After a few more hours of decorating you finally complete it though it was now night time. You quickly cleaned up your mess and organised everything before you see two familiar faces entering your classroom

“Looks like someone’s finished decorating their classroom” Samu said looking at all the decorations

“Yeah! You’ve finished faster than our classes!” Tsumu chimed in

“Oh! Samu and Tsumu, what are you doing here?” You asked cleaning a few more of the clutters and messes around the classroom

“Well captain’s looking for ya and you weren’t at practice earlier” Tsumu explained

“Well I guess you can see what I’ve been doing” you chuckled grabbing your bag

“You’ve outdone yourself well to be expected from someone dating the captain” Samu smiled

“Well Shinsuke looking for me so let’s get going” you said tugging their shoulders to come along

“Could I get a free ice cream Y/N?” Tsumu smirked

“You forgot to include me” Samu glared at the other twin

“I don’t know have you two foughten while I was away” you raise an eyebrow

“Nope we were good boys today” Tsumu said smiling innocently

“Ew stop talking like that it’s disgusting” Samu said giving Tsumu the stink eye

“Continue that and I won’t give you one” you glared at both of them

Alright fine they both said in unison

You three arrive at the gym to see the rest of the team cleaning it up.

“Oh Y/N, I hope the twins didn’t cause you too much trouble” Kita said slightly worried

“They’re nothing I can’t handle” you smiled at Kita

“Yeah! We’ve been very nice to her today!” Tsumu said proudly

“That’s kinda surprising” Aran said in disbelief

“I’m sorry I had to miss practice. I had to finish our decorations for our class” you said looking down

“It’s quite alright Y/N” Kita said giving you a reassuring smile

“Can we get our ice cream now” Tsumu whined

“Don’t whine it makes you sound like a baby” Samu scowled

‘Here we go again’ you all thought

After getting the twins ice cream it was back to work with your costume preparations. You spent half an hour researching for a good historical figure than another half looking for all the materials to make it. Whilst making it you decided to multi-task and do the other things you had to do. You did not realise how much work you decided to take on yourself but it was too late to back out now.

The next few days were very hectic for you. You were assigned homeworks and projects in each class while having volleyball management meaning you would have barely any time to spend with your boyfriend. Dates outside turned into indoor dates as you had no time to spend it outside. Currently Kita was helping you lessen your workload no matter how much you tried to insist you were fine.

“Oh Shin, you really don’t have to do that!” You insisted grabbing the needle he was holding

“Y/N you still have to finish making your poem” he said, taking back the needle. “Let me finish stitching your costume together for you” he said, going back to sewing it together.

“But you still have homework to do” you pleaded

“It doesn’t compare to the amount of work you have” he said as he shook his head

“Thanks Shinsuke” you smiled brightly

“But you really don’t have to do this” you said before going back to writing your poem

“I don’t want you to overexert yourself Y/N. Don’t bite more than you can chew alright?” He smiled empathetically as you look at him and smiled

“How’d I get so lucky with a boyfriend like you” you said hugging him

“I’m luckier to have you” he said hugging you back

You did your best to follow your boyfriend’s wishes but each day the workload got worse and worse as more assignments, quizzes, and projects were thrown left and right. You barely had time to study for the upcoming exams thanks to volleyball practice especially with how chaotic it is. You tried managing your time going from contest to contest, activity to activity and it completely stressed you out. The team especially noticed your behaviour and were extremely concerned.

“Hey capt have ya noticed Y/N? She looks really sad” Tsumu pointed out to Kita

“Did ya have to point out the obvious?” Samu rolled his eyes as Tsumu glared him

“It’s most likely her heavy workload I’ll take care of it” Kita said walking towards you as you drink your bottle of coffee

“Y/N why don’t you take a break at home. We can manage ourselves” Kita said

“No no I’ve missed practice too many times” you pouted

“No need to worry we understand, you need to rest” Kita insisted

“But Shin” you pleaded as he looked at you

“Make sure you rest well and don’t worry about your assignments I’ll do it for you” he gave a reassuring smile

You knew whatever you say would not convince him otherwise so you decided to just head back home.

“Ya think she’s gonna follow Captain this time?” Tsumu asked

“Knowing her probably not” Aran replied

“Now there’s no one to settle down the twins when they fight” Akagi said slightly worried

“Eh more fun for me” Suna said nonchalantly

As soon as you got home you did not rest, especially because of the amount of homework they gave that day. You were extremely stressed now as you had tons of other activities on top of the costume modelling tomorrow. You were too overwhelmed to the point where you couldn’t breathe from panicking and crying. You couldn’t call Kita as your phone died from earlier while you were multi-tasking so you were crying even more from the lack of comfort. Meanwhile the team just finished practising when they saw your worried boyfriend trying to call you.

“Something wrong?” Ginjima asked concerned

“Y/N won’t answer my calls it goes straight to voicemail” Kita said with slight frustration in his voice

“Maybe she’s just sleeping” Suna said yawning

“Of course you’d say that” Samu retorted

“No knowing her she’s definitely not sleeping” Kita said

“I’ll head off early” Kita continued as he rushed outside

“Oi! Capt wait up!” Tsumu said following your concerned boyfriend as the others soon followed

Thanks to the breakdown you just had your house looked like a wreck. You tried listening to music or doing activities that would normally cheer you up but to no avail it did not work. Currently you were laying down on the couch crying loudly as you tried to calm down when the door was unlocked which made you panic even more.

“Y/N! Are you okay?” Kita said rushing towards you and pulling you into a tight embrace but you couldn’t respond as you were hyperventilating whilst bawling in tears

“Breathe in and breathe out” he said calmly

“Don’t worry I’m here you can let it all out” he continued in a soothing voice as you continue to hiccup and cry

After a few minutes he brewed your favourite tea to soothe you which helped you calm down though you were still hiccuping. He pulled you into a very tight embrace as he rubbed your back comforting you with your favourite lullabies.

“T-Thank you Shin” you whimpered

“Don’t worry about it” he said giving a reassuring smile

“I-I’m really sorry, I must’ve made you and the team worried” you said sadly as more tears poured from your eyes

“It’s alright what matters is your ok” Kita said pulling you to his chest to cry on

“You were right Shin, I shouldn’t have forced myself to join all of those activities. It’s too much and I can’t take it anymore” you cried holding him tighter

“It’s alright but why did you join all those activities?” Kita asked curiously

“I couldn’t say no to their tired faces” you said sadly

“You shouldn’t be pushing yourself too much, you’re not the only one in the classroom” he said as he brushed your hair

“Yeah you’re right Shin” you said quietly

“Thank you” you smiled brightly as he then leans forward to kiss you but gets interrupted by the sound of the door slightly opening

“Shit, the door!” A muffled voice said

“Stop moving like there’s a cockroach is near you” another muffled voice said

“Guys-” a third muffled voice said as two of the muffled voices get into an argument

As you both heard this you couldn’t help but laugh since it was most definitely the twins’ senseless banter. You got up from Kita’s lap and opened the door and said the whole team was trying to hear from the door whilst the twins yelled at each other quietly.

“Oh uh hello Y/N” Akagi chuckled nervously

“Just so you know I did not get that on video but I got the twins on video” Suna nonchalantly said as you giggled

“OH Y/N ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?” Tsumu said as he quickly stopped his bantering with the other twin

“Yeah don’t worry” you smiled brightly

“You blew our cover” Samu glared at Tsumu

“Why don’t we all grab a bite at the nearby restaurant, my treat?” Kita said coming out of the door

“YEAH!” you all yelled

Suffice to say you spent the rest of your day relaxing with the team with tasty food! It was the first time in a while you relaxed and you felt so much better. It was chaotic from the twins sure but they just made it more entertaining watching their bantering over silly things like last piece food. After eating the whole team did the rest of your to do activities while you relaxed. Some of them did well some did not but it was funny seeing the twins argue over small things while Aran and Kita try to settle them down.

“Stupid you’re supposed to cut it like this” Samu said showing Tsumu the “proper way”

“I’ll cut it the way I want to cut it” Tsumu retorts

“Unless you want her to get a bad grade then you’re gonna cut it properly” Samu scowled

“Guys calm down we don’t wanna stress Y/N more than she already was” Reseki sighed

“It’s alright helping me is more than enough” you smiled at all of them

“Thanks again Shin you’ve helped me too much” you said facing towards him as he chuckled

“Trust me, I haven’t done enough” he said placing a soft kiss on your head

A/N: Just a v short comfort piece with your fav because we can all use some comfort sometimes… This was very self indulgent because I’ve needed some comfort recently, and if you need some now know that I’m giving you the biggest hug <3

Light from the hallway spills into the darkened bedroom, but you barely register the door opening from your place curled up underneath the covers. The bed dips beside you and a hand comes to rest gently on your back.

“You okay?”

You’re silent for a moment, then you squeeze your eyes shut impossibly tighter to try to keep the wave of tears at bay that you feel threatening to wash over you. “No,” you breathe, the small word getting caught in your throat as you shake your head. And then the dam breaks, and you hiccup on a sob as you try to suck a breath in.

“Oh, sweetheart,” he whispers, moving to curl his body around yours. One hand comes to cradle the back of your head, the other starting to rub circles on your back.

Your tears begin to form a small wet spot on the front of his shirt, and you bring your hands out from under the covers to curl in the fabric. His arms tighten around you and somehow it makes you cry harder, every wall you’d spent the day holding up finally crumbling in your exhaustion. “I’m sorry,” you choke out.

“You don’t need to say you’re sorry.” He buries his face in your hair. “I know it’s hard. You’re gonna be okay, but I know.” He can feel you relax at his reassurance and he presses a kiss to your head. “We can stay like this as long as you want, okay? Just tell me what you need.”

You sniffle, and the small nod you give makes him relax in turn. “Just… need you.”

“You’ve got me.” He pulls you closer. “You’ve got me, and we’re gonna get you through this.”

“Thank you,” you whisper.

“No need. I love you.”

Your body trembles with the breath you let out, and he knows that while the wave of tears is ebbing you’ve still got a ways to go. “I love you too.”

You're enough (kita shinsuke x reader who got rejected from an university)

characters : timeskip! Kita Shinsuke x gneutral reader

genre : hurt/comfort

warnings : mention of academic rejection, crying, throwing up, self doubt, mental break down

a/n : hi guys, well my application for my dream university recently got rejected, so I guess writting a scenario with my sweet boy Shinsuke is my way to cope, hope you'll like it ♡

as you are in an established relationship with Kita Shinsuke, one day you receive a response from an application you sent to your dream university, unfortunately this isn't the aswer you were hoping for

You can’t believe it. No, it is not possible.

As you look at your laptop screen in your darkening living room, you feel your eyes filling with tears. You just received a response for an application from your dream university.

Hello, this is x university, We are sorry but considering the requirements of our institution and your profile, we regret to inform you that you are not eligible and you can’t come to study in our university. The final result will be communicated in a few weeks, and we hope that you will be able to continue your studies in another institution.

You really can’t believe it, you feel your heart collapsing in your chest. Your blood is turning cold and your hands are shaking. Why is it happening to you ? You’ve worked so hard. Many restless nights and stressful days were sacrificed in order to prepare yourself for this. And yet, it isn’t enough. You fear the disappointment of your parents, your friends and Shinsuke.

Oh god, what are you going to tell Shinsuke ? He was so supportive and comforting towards you during your worst days. When you were insecure of your capacities and convinced that you won’t make it. He’s going to be so disappointed and it’s all your fault. Because of your own incompetence. You can’t face him right now, not during this breakdown. Even though you trust him with your whole heart, you don’t want to rely on him and bother him too much.

You feel lost, Shinsuke isn’t here, he’s still working in the rice fields as the summer days grow longer. You’re alone in your shared house as the sun is setting. You stand up abruptly, as you’re feeling like throwing up. You make your way quickly to the bathroom and empty your guts in the toilet. Your anxiety makes you sick, like literally, you can’t stand it anymore.

You cry uncontrollably as you sit on the bathroom floor. You’re all alone and it’s like your world is crumbling. All your future plans and aspirations were whipped away by a simple email.

You’re still crouched on the bathroom floor and you’re beginning to feel overwhelmed. Your breathing is uneven and you feel like you’re going to faint. You hear the front door open, crap Shinsuke is already back and you haven’t processed the news correctly. You need to regain composure very quickly.

You try to muffle your sobs as you discern the loving voice of your boyfriend from the living room.

“y/n, darling are you there ?” Shinsuke says lightly, looking for you through the house after an exhausting day.

You don’t respond and Kita starts to feel worried. Where could you be ? You didn’t tell him that you were going to be out. He tries again, with a more concerned voice “y/n, sweetheart you’re home ? Where are you ?”

You perceive the concern but most of all the exhaustion in his voice. And you can’t help but feel guilty. You are hiding from him, even though he must have a very tiring day and you don’t want to upset him even more. So, to avoid him starting to look for you, you respond in the most persuasive voice you can manage right now “In the bathroom Shin, I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Hm, okay, I’ll start making dinner then” announces Kita from the kitchen. Good, it doesn’t seem like he’s suspicious of your behavior. Giving you time to clear your mind for a bit.

You decide to snap out of it and go greet him. Enough is enough and you can’t avoid him forever. You pass some water on your face in order to freshen up a bit and soothe your red eyes. As you make your way towards the kitchen, you hear the rumbling of the oven and the sound of the knife against the cutting board. Shinsuke must be halfway through the process of preparing dinner. You enter the room and meet his back. He’s wearing his black apron and currently cutting vegetables.

You’re frozen, he seems so peaceful and unbothered. Following his routine, making dinner just after he comes back from work.

You know that as soon as you’re going to tell him your failure, his exhausting day is going to be worse.

He turns himself toward the stove and notices your presence. You see the exhaustion in his eyes and you feel tears wind up to your eyes once again. God, you're tired of this. But you can’t cry right now, you can’t break your composure in front of Shinsuke.

Your unstable state doesn’t go unnoticed by Kita.

“Love, are you feeling okay ?” Shinsuke says as he makes his way towards you, wiping his hands against his apron.

This is it, you can’t hold it anymore, his worried eyes and his sweet and loving voice make you burst out into tears. You can’t breathe and you feel strong arms encircling you in a warm and loving hug.

“y/n, what is wrong, tell me love, what happened ? I can’t help you if you’re not telling me what is wrong.” says Shinsuke in an hesitant voice, as he slowly begins to pannick. The always calm and logical man starts to feel a little overwhelmed as he sees your current distress. However, he tries to remain calm for your well being.

You speak incoherently, your cries muffled by Kita’s chest, defined by his past volleyball practice and his current work in the fields. “I’m sorry Shin, shit I’m so sorry… forgive me please, I’m a failure…” You tighten your grip on your boyfriend shirt, as your life depends on it.

“What are you saying, darling… love, y/n, what happened, you’re worrying me.” Kita tries to soothe you as his large hands draw circles on your back. “Calm down, y/n, I need you to calm down and tell me what is wrong, otherwise I won’t be able to help you.” He cups your cheeks, kisses them to prevent the tears from falling more, and leads you towards the sofa in the living room.

You rest your head in the crook of Kita’s neck. He pats your head gently and tries to appease your crying. “I’m here love, are you feeling better ?” Shinsuke asks worriedly.

“No, but I owe you an explanation” you straighten a bit to face him and you almost burst into tears once again. He looks at you with such adoration and worries that your heart aches.

He furrows his eyebrows but listens anyway. “I was rejected from the university. I’m sorry you helped me so much and still couldn’t make it, I’m not good enough, you must be so disappointed, I sor-”

“y/n, stop, calm down !” Kita stops your rambling by grasping your shoulders and raising his voice, which is uncharacteristically of him.

“Look, first of all you need to breathe, can you do that for me ?” You nod and tilt your head backward to prevent more tears from falling. Looking at the ceiling, you try to control your breath, as Shinsuke keeps caressing your back in a soothing way.

Shinsuke brushes your cheek gently and speaks again “Good,now that you’re a bit calmer, I’m so sorry that your application got rejected. I know how much you wanted to go to this school, but it’s okay. You’re enough, you’re brilliant and you’ll be able to go to another university and be excellent in it.” He pampers your face with kisses. And in between each kiss he whispers sweet reassurance to you. “You’re *kiss* more *kiss* than *kiss* enough my love *kiss*.”

You cry once again but this time because of the relief you feel from the reaction of your boyfriend. “Do you really mean it ? Are you sure ? Because I feel so lost right now Shinsuke, I don’t know what I am going to do. On the other hand, you seem perfectly sure of your future and I feel so shitty besides you. I’m sorry to bother you with this, you must be exhausted from your day.” You try to calm yourself and Kita grabs both of your hands to place kisses on your palm.

“y/n darling, no matter how far I am in my life, what matters now is you. You’re as capable as me to achieve your goals and you must be proud of yourself, just see how far you’ve come since we left highschool, hm ?” Shinsuke affirms as he plants a tender kiss on your temple.

You nod as you never felt more grateful to have him as your boyfriend. Just by the way he always supports you and cares for you no matter how much you fail, he’s always there. You love him. Just as much he loves you. Showing his love in everyday actions, in words affirmation and always touching you with so much care and love.

“I love you so much y/n, never forget that, I’m so proud of you and I’ll always be, never doubt it.” He hugs you once again, placing your face in the crook of his neck, and pats your head, waiting patiently for you to calm your cries.

Once your breathing is a little bit steadier, he kisses you and locks his eyes with yours. “Do you want to eat dinner now or would you rather lay down for a bit in our room, it’s up to you darling.”

You respond with a sore voice from all your crying “I would like to stay here with you holding me for a little longer if you don’t mind it.” Kita holds you, and as he places you on his lap to hug you better, mutters “Of course darling, we can stay there as long as you want, I’m not going anywhere.”

You kiss him gently, and sigh finally at peace with yourself. Because you know that Shinsuke will be there. He will be there with you during this difficult journey in order to accept your failures, and move on towards better opportunities, even if it seems so difficult right now.

the door clicked, announcing that your boyfriend was home. Shinsuke opened the door carefully, sighing when he entered and closed it behind him. his expression changed when he looked over at you, a soft smile settling on his lips. however, it only lasted a moment, as he realized your posture and body language.

“my dear, what’s the matter?” he asked as he sat down next to you.

“mm,” you hummed. “dunno.”

“y/n, if there’s something wrong, I want to help you, but I can’t if I don’t know what’s wrong,” he said carefully, pushing strands of hair from your face. though his intent was kind, you couldn’t help but feel as if you were being scolded, judging by his tone.

tears stung the corners of your eyes. not wanting to cry, you lowered your voice to a whisper, “please just hold me.”

almost immediately, he took you into his arms, one resting around your waist, the other around your shoulders. your face fell to rest on his shoulder, and you inhaled his scent. this was home. he was home. of course, he wouldn’t let the day end without finding out what it was that’s bothering you, but for now this was enough, just him holding you, protecting you. he was enough.

Breathe

word count: 461 || avg. reading time: 2 mins.

pairing: post-time skip Kita x chubby!Reader

genre: comfort

warnings: uni stress

synopsis: you are having a medium meltdown about academics and your boyfriend comforts you

____________________________________________

Kita looked up from his book when your pen zoomed past him and hit the wall. It was exam season and as always it was everything but pleasant. In true student fashion you had only started your paper with three days left until the deadline. You had been trying to write all day but it wasn’t turning out anywhere close to your satisfaction - who would’ve thought. You knew what you would have to write, you knew how you wanted to make your point but you had no idea where to start.

“Ya okay there, sweetheart?”, your boyfriend asked. He had been keeping you company after getting home from work and you were happy about him being there, as that was normally enough to calm you down but today it just infuriated you more. He didn’t have to deal with uni stress. He didn’t have to think about student debt and stupid term papers.

You buried your face in your hands and groaned loudly. You took deep breaths, trying not to cry.

You heard a shuffling and the next minute, he was kneeling next to your chair.

“Hey, look at me.”, Kita said softly, pulling your hands in his. You look at him with tearfilled eyes and his heart pulled painfully at the sight.

“Ya can do this.” Even in his own ears that sounded hollow and he didn’t blame you for snorting in disbelief. He cupped your cheek and pulled you closer to lean his forehead against yours. “Breathe.”

You did as you were told. “I’m here. Breathe.” His words were barely more than a whisper, but the soothing tone of his voice gave you something to cling to and he wiped away your tears with his thumb as he repeated his mantra a few more times. You closed your eyes and silence fell.

For a long time you just sat there like this. Him on the floor, you in your chair, one hand of his gently squeezing yours, the other caressing your cheek reassuringly.

He paid close attention to every sound you made. When he was sure you had calmed down enough, he said quietly “I love ya.” and pressed the most delicate of kisses to your lips.

You sat up a little in your chair, looking at the man kneeling in front of you and wondered what you had done to deserve him. His warm smile made you feel safe.

He rose from the floor, still holding your hand and pulled slightly, bringing your soft form into his strong arms. With gentle fingers he combed through your hair and held you tighter, setting another kiss to your temple. “Come on, darlin’. I’m gonna make us some dinner and then we’ll snuggle up on the couch for a bit, hm?”

❄︎ ─ END OF YEAR REC REPORT: THE READER INSERT EDITION

hi lovelies!! as the year is coming to an end I wanted to work with my followers to compile a rec list of fics that have stuck with us as one massive thank you to all of the writers in our corner of tumblr/AO3. below you will find x reader fics from multiple different fandoms, and everything is in alphabetical order. I am grateful to all of you for the amazing work you do, and to those who participated!

(and thank you to @namodawrites for helping with the banners ily)

MINORS DO NOT INTERACT ─ ❄︎

fics: 100 fandoms: 23 total word count: 💀

an observer of longing by shibaraki [ONESHOT] [18K] #: afab reader - childhood best friends to lovers - romantic and sexual tension - mutual pining - casual physical affection - love confession - eventual sexual content

Could Hajime really return your feelings? Tooru certainly thinks so. And Issei, and Takahiro. Seemingly everyone that has been within twenty feet of you.

I wanna be yours by gabseyoo [ONESHOT] [5.9K] #: fem reader - recreational drug use - stoner suna rintaro - friends to lovers - shotgunning - smut - face riding - unprotected sex - sex under the influence

Your usual smoking date with your best friend takes an unexpected turn after a certain song starts playing.

in orbit by neonghxst [MULTI-CHAP] [27K] #: fem reader - slow burn - fluff - angst - enemies to friends to lovers - childhood friends - breaking up/making up

You tend to have a habit of coming and going, life sending you away at odd intervals and guiding you back into his path without warning. Akin to two planets caught in each other’s orbits, you pushed and pulled in a never-ending cycle. But if there was one thing Atsumu was certain of, it was that you would always find your way back to him (and this time, he’s determined to make you stay).

lover be good to me by suguwu [MULTI-CHAP] [30K] #: fem reader - soulmate au - slow burn - hurt/comfort - partner death (not kita shinsuke)

You meet Kita Shinsuke on a rainy summer day, with a sea of hydrangeas swirling at your feet. You know him instantly, as only a soulmate can. He seems like a good man. Like a good soulmate. But it's your wedding day.

miya atsumu and the chronic lovesick disease by fushisagi [ONESHOT] [12.6K] #: gender neutral reader - university au - fluff - friends to lovers - denial of feelings - mutual pining

The question comes to him one autumn night, surrounded by his friends and the chilly november breeze, asked by, who he assumes to be, just another nobody looking for money: what is it that you desire most, boy? the psychic asks, her saccharine smile forgotten when he looks into the crystal ball and all he ends up seeing is you. Alternatively: Miya Atsumu is not in love. what the hell? who would ever suggest something like that?

monster by satendou [SERIES: ONGOING] [13K] #: fem reader - unprotected sex - creampie - vaginal fingering - mentions of bullying - insecurities - described as blushing

You like horror movies, Tendou likes horror movies, what could go wrong?

storm chaser by amjustagirl [MULTI-CHAP] [163K] #: fem reader - post canon - domestic fluff - friends to lovers - romance - marriage - parenthood - angst

Living life with Miya Atsumu is like chasing a storm - equal parts exhilaration and danger. After all, it’s impossible to tame a storm.

the burden of being by sashimiyas [ONESHOT] [22K] #: fem reader - angst - fluff - amnesia - pro volleyball player osamu - unhealthy coping mechanisms

There was an Osamu who loved you once. Who loved Onigiri Miya so much he spent most of his waking hours there, supported loyally by the members of Hyogo Ward. A fire changes that and he and his twin brother adopt their old high school motto: we don’t need the memories. Now they’re gone and memories are all you have. So as an homage to the man you love, you reopen his restaurant back up for him.

the inbetween by oh-katsuki [ONESHOT] [25K] #: fem reader - manga spoilers - childhood friends to lovers - slow burn - angst - sexual content

You and Tendou have been best friends since before you can remember. You share everything with each other and over the years have fallen into a friendship with clear boundaries but intimate values. When you start to notice Tendou growing more distant, you begin to worry that he’s keeping more secrets than you thought.

there are reasons why a body stays in motion by gardenofnoah [ONESHOT] [4.7K] #: afab reader - strangers to lovers - fluff - eventual sexual content

You work too hard—kita knows it the second he meets you. He’s not expecting you to take him up on his offer. You don’t either, until you end up on his farm.

the blood of the witch is not ours by demxnscous [ONESHOT] [11K] #: afab reader - vampire miya osamu - strangers to friends to lovers - modern setting with a hidden supernatural world - blood and injury - eventual sexual content

The door opens. Osamu whines pitifully, a shallow breath that scarcely pulls at the lacerations along his body, blood of his own and of another creature matts his fur to his ribs, along his spine, and he lifts his head. “Oh, fuck.” From the threshold, your eyes widen, a stranger to the fox you find.

to: tokyo, love hyogo by akimind [ONESHOT] [15K] #: fem reader - described as blushing - reunions - angst - fluff - exes to lovers

Your mind wasn’t tricking you when it caught sight of this name from across the street you rarely frequent; it remains the same name even as you stand directly below now and reread that sign again. Onigiri Miya. …I’ll meet you in Hyogo. The same echo. The same memory.

roommate osamu kiss by shibaraki [DRABBLE] [0.6K] #: gender neutral reader - pre relationship - fluff - roommate miya osamu - sleepy kiss

Osamu likes to think that unlike Atsumu, he has some semblance of control over his impulses. it’s a fine art. When you softly touch his waist as you squeeze past, or dig your feet under his thigh on the couch, or lean into his side as you share the small bathroom, he can will his body still and maintain the equilibrium you’ve crafted together. But this morning he is frayed at the seams.

venus by saetyrn [ONESHOT] [15K] #: cisfem reader - mutual pining - alcohol consumption - friends to lovers - eventual sexual content - reader is inexperienced

After returning to Japan from studying abroad in California, Hajime’s found that his desire for you has only grown stronger in his year away. He hopes you feel the same, and see him as he sees you. What he doesn’t expect is for it all to go tits up when you ask him--your trusted friend--for help with losing your virginity.

wet haired kuroo by mrs-kurooo [DRABBLE] [0.8K] #: gender neutral reader - pre relationship - romantic tension

His hair lies flat, unlike the usual unruly, gravity-defying mess of black that sits on his head. It’s still a little damp, slowly drying in the warmth of your apartment, a lone droplet of water dripping from the ends and landing on his towel. It hangs in his eyes a little, more so than usual and the urge to run your fingers through it overwhelms you - it just looks so soft.

a duke's son and a baron's daughter by katsukikitten [ONESHOT] [14K] #: fem reader - victorian era au - arranged marriage - pining - slow burn - suggestive content - lord bakugo katsuki - lord todoroki shouto

The room ebbs in the low light of flickering candles, people gather in clusters like lost geese as they honk their gossip at one another causing you to sigh. It would be another long night of mental games as your cold eyes fail to warm from the eccentric sights. Silk dresses, long gloves, shimmering gems, and endless drink and food. Yet you hated how little power you had over your choice of being here or not.

a light that never comes by mighty-mighty-man [MULTI-CHAP: ONGOING] [430K] #: fem reader - enemies to friends to lovers - reader is an ex villain - worldbuilding - polotics - drama - eventual romance

After your life is saved by a quirkless middle-schooler, you find yourself roped back into the world of Heroism you've spent years trying to escape. Your mentor convinces you to take a job at U.A. that will bring you perilously close to your former best friend, Toshinori Yagi, who you have been avoiding since you mysteriously dropped out of high school in your third year. Being a Hero never gets any easier. And high school never ends.

all the times i told you by gardenofnoah [SERIES] [8K+] #: afab reader - estbalished relationship - fluff - intimacy - hurt/comfort - eventual sexual content

A sweet little multi-parter about being so in love it makes you sick, featuring Katsuki.

a withered rose by potionpeddlerpatchy [ONESHOT] [18K] #: fem reader - mythical au - reader is a nymph - god of sleep shinsou hitoshi - sexual content - dubious consent - somnophilia - manipulation

In the center of all the strange but wonderful opulence sat a giant glass orb propped so beautifully atop of a pillar, woven so intricately like vines, of tourmaline. You couldn’t help but approach it, the alluring purple aura seemed to call out to you, reaching your delicate hand before you, nothing else crossed your mind that your desire to touch the orb's smooth surface. “You’re a bold little one, aren’t you?” Hitoshi spoke, chuckling deeply as he took in your startled form.

a world away by invie [MULTI-CHAP] [26K] #: fem reader - slow burn - timeskips - pro hero bakugo katsuki - parallel universes - dimension travel - feelings realisation - first meetings - fluff - angst - love confessions

He met you at 16 and hasn't known peace since then.

casual by ghostbeam [ONESHOT] [4K] #: fem reader - no quirk au - friends with benefits - friends to lovers - sexual content - todoroki family feels

event masterlist

There is a light in Shoyo that just won’t dim. Not that you want it to. It’s your favorite thing about him.

There are ten million reasons to like Shoyo (though Tsukishima would disagree and say he can barely find one. He’s lying. No one can dislike Shoyo. It’s not possible). But you like him for the simple reason that he is the best person you have ever met. He is dedicated and kind, loyal and friendly. You have known him since your first year in high school, and you have seen him face every adversity that comes his way with full confidence and optimism.

It’s no wonder you’re hopelessly in love with him. How could you not be? Shoyo entered your life and made everything ten times brighter and easier to deal with. From day one, he was your confidant and your cheerleader. In all those three years, Shoyo stood by you like you stood by him. You had grown by leaps and bounds with him as your friend.

Friend.

The sun was low in the sky, spreading a warm orange light over the clouds as it set. The color reminds you of Shoyo’s hair, and you have to curse yourself. It seems you can never stop thinking about him, and the world is adamant on making sure you didn’t even try to. You sigh and lean back on the bench you were seated on, closing your eyes and mentally preparing yourself for what was coming.

High school graduation had come and gone. Tomorrow, Shoyo will leave for Brazil. For two years minimum. And who knows? He says he will return, but there is a very real chance he won’t. An up-and-coming volleyball player like him, he could be snatched up by a local club. Or he could fall in love with beach volleyball and continue living there so he could keep playing it.

Two years is a long time for a person to change. You can change. He can change. You can’t trust yourself to leave this until then. Now, before Shoyo leaves, you will confess to him all of your closely guarded feelings. Before he potentially leaves your life for good, he has to know that he is the reason you are where you have gotten.

Heavy footsteps slowly fade in, making you turn your head to follow the sound. You spot Shoyo barreling down the sidewalk towards you, skidding to an abrupt halt when he reaches your bench. He takes a few deep breaths before grinning wide, and just the sight of his million watt smile has your own lips tugging up to return the gesture.

“Ready for dinner?”

Homey, comforting ramen is Shoyo’s choice of last meal in Japan. You both trudge into his usual ramen place, one that he loved to frequent often after practice. He talks your ear off all the way there, telling you about his day. He had been getting his affairs in order, saying goodbye to all the important people and packing up some last minute stuff. You let him catch you up to every tiny detail, (He is like that. He doesn’t like leaving anything out) and you hum along to his stories.

When steaming bowls of ramen are set down before you is when Shoyo finally shuts up, instead choosing to immediately wolf it down. You watch him with blatant adoration in your eyes. You know you do, and you don’t bother to hide it. Sharing this one last moment with him, you don’t want to hold back. This might be the last time you can look at him in leisure. So you drink him in the best you can, trying to seal this moment in your memory forever.

“Are you excited for beach volleyball?”

He nods around a mouthful of noodles. “I have just two years to learn it, so I’m a bit nervous. But I can’t wait to start!”

You smile at his usual unending enthusiasm. “You’ll be great, Shoyo. I have never met someone as hardworking as you.”

And there is that smile again, so bright you almost have to squint to withstand it. He was so different from how he was in first year. He had come such a long way in just three years. Imagine how much he would change after two years in a completely foreign country, on the other side of the world.

You can feel your shoulders drop.

After dinner, Shoyo insists on dessert and you both end up getting ice pops. He finishes his before you can even take one bite of your own, and then ends up finishing half of yours as well when you tell him you are full and he can have it. No wonder he has unending stamina. He eats the food of three people. You smile at the thought.

As per routine, Shoyo walks you home afterward. The sun has fully set by this time, and the streetlights periodically illuminate the two of you as you walk along the sidewalk. Your figures cast long, moving shadows on the concrete, and you keep your eyes on them as you walk. Shoyo is humming something under his breath, occasionally breaking the silence to comment on something. You bask in the moment.

When you slow to a stop at your front door, you realise it is finally time to do what you had been psyching yourself up for all this time.

“I have something to say.” You comment. Shoyo blinks and nods, encouraging you to continue. You take a deep breath.

“For the last three years, you’ve been the best person in my life. By a long shot. I can’t believe I met someone like you. You’re always so supportive, Shoyo, and you’ve really helped me be the best version of myself.”

You cringe at your corny statements, but Shoyo’s face has softened. He stays silent. You muscle on.

“I like you. A lot. A lot. And before you leave, I just wanted you to know this.”

Because I may never see you again. You let the last sentence die in your throat.

Shoyo looks down at the ground, fiddling with his hands a bit. You realize you have made him nervous. And no wonder. You just dumped a huge revelation on him the day before he leaves the country.

“You don’t have to say anything!” You add on, as soon as Shoyo opens his mouth to speak, trying to soothe his nerves. “I don’t want you to reciprocate. I just wanted to tell you all this before you left.”

You step forward to wrap him into a hug, feeling him freeze at the gesture. You don’t let yourself linger, pulling away mere seconds later. Shoyo opens and closes his mouth like a fish. You giggle.

“Do your best in Brazil, Shoyo. I’m counting on you.”

And then you pull open the door, shutting it behind yourself with one last smile at his surprised face.

……………………

Tokyo is a big city, and you lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of it.

Miyagi was quiet, peaceful, and you knew more or less everyone there. In contrast, Tokyo is continuously moving, and you have to run to keep up with it. It’s a big change, going from Tokyo to Miyagi, but it is a welcome one. You can feel how you change and blossom along with the city.

Your apartment is small. One bedroom, open kitchen, tiny bathroom. It’s a starter apartment and you are still a student, so it doesn’t matter. Every night, you cook yourself a modest meal and plop yourself down in front of the television, continuing some show you have been watching for the last few days. Afterwards, you have a warm cup of tea and then begin your nightly routine, ready for classes the next day.

Today that routine is disrupted by loud knocking on the door.

You pause your chewing, reaching for the remote to mute the TV. You don’t hear any sound, not even shuffling, but ten seconds later you hear another, longer knock. Sighing, you set your bowl down on the coffee table and throw your blanket off, trudging to the door. When you look through the peephole, all you see is one shoulder. You roll your eyes at the person who chose to not stand in your view.

You undo the lock and pull the door open, immediately freezing on the spot.

He has grown so much taller, and broader. His skin holds a wonderful bronze tan, and his hair is shorter than the last time you saw him. But his smile is the same. Bright and blinding, endlessly welcoming. Your heart skips.

“Hi.” He breathes. His voice is deeper too. A little scratchier. You continue to stare, mouth agape. You cannot believe it, and your brain cannot process it.

“Shoyo…” Your grip on the doorframe tightens. A small silence extends between you two. Shoto shifts a bit.

“Can I come in?” He asks sheepishly.

You abruptly jerk back, nodding vigorously. “Of course! Sorry, sorry. Come in.”

You allow Shoyo to pass through the threshold, toeing his shoes off and stacking them next to your own before looking back at you expectantly. You lead him into the living room, mind racing with a thousand thoughts.

He was back. From Brazil. Taller and tanned and just as bright. And he’s back. You reel with the revelation.

“How have you been?” He asks, seating himself on the couch and looking up at you with a small smile. He seems…. calmer somehow. More present instead of how flighty he used to be. More grounded. You nod a bit.

“I’m- I’ve been good. You?”

“Me too.”

“Okay good.”

Awkward silence stretches between you two. You feel your face heat up.

“I’m going to make tea!” You announce, bustling towards the kitchen before Shoyo can protest, trying not to think about the last conversation you had with him right before he left, over two years ago.

Once you settle before him with two steaming hot cups, the awkward air disperses a bit. You aren’t surprised. It always did with Shoyo. He had a talent like this. You ask him about Brazil and he goes on a whole storytime for it, telling you about the vast beaches and the burning sun. How much he learned and how much he changed.

That part is true, you can tell. Shoyo has changed. But despite all that, you can feel the way your heart skips, the way your palms get clammy. All those old feelings are coming back, and you cannot stop them. As you watch the way Shoyo laughs and reminisces with you, you’re not sure you want to.

A lull hits after Shoyo stops talking, and you watch as he fiddles with his hands a bit before speaking again, his voice lower this time, more serious.

“Can we….. pick up where we left off?” He doesn’t glance up at you, playing with his hands.

You blink at his words, trying to process them. He gives you a crooked smile that lights your nerves on fire.

“You never let me reply that day. And…. I didn’t think I should either, because I was leaving. But now…”

He trails off, you feel your breath catch. Is he implying what you think he is? You try not to get your hopes up, but Shoyo’s next words seal the deal.

“I like you tons.”

You can’t help your breathless laugh at his choice of words. Your skin buzzes. Shoyo scoots closer to you. You let him. His leg brushes against yours and you can feel the way electricity zips through you at the feeling.

“I like you tons too.”

Ten minutes later, when Shoyo drags huge suitcases into your lobby from outside your front door, you realize he came here straight from the airport. And it only makes you love him more.
