what Haikyuu characters smell like

…. because i’m sick of the sandalwood - vanilla bullshit, they're all in high school, they all smell like Axe or sweat

Hinata Shouyou

doesn't shower, but probably still has baby sweat so he doesn't stink

Kageyama Tobio

smells like Nivea cream. Very clean, very nice but also big baby vibes

Tsukishima Kei

showers with what his mom packed him so probably some organic oat-scented shit

Yamaguchi Tadashi

actually cares about his products and smells nice for a teenager but nobody notices

Ennoshita Chikara

Axe. Because everyone is using it, not because he thinks it's cool.

Nishinoya Yuu

doesn't shower. Also Axe.

Tanaka Ryuunosuke

showers sometimes, but only when his sister says that he stinks. Axe.

Azumane Asahi

one of the only people that actually smell attractive. definitely had an Axe phase in middle school tho.

Sugawara Koushi

the only one on the team with a fresh shirt every practice, smells like fresh laundry

Sawamura Daichi

dad smell, like 3 in 1 hair, body, face and working in the garage

Iwaizumi Hajime

responsible adult, has a nice cologne and doesn't use too much of it, just enough. buys body wash in bulk because it’s cheaper and more convenient.

Oikawa Tooru

smells like everything. has a nice (in his opinion) perfume, strongly scented floral body wash, citrusy shampoo and coconut body butter. he is living his best life but everyone has to deal with his smell that enters the room before he does.

Matsukawa Issei & Hanamaki Takahiro

bought Axe and “manly man” body wash for shits and giggles and “ironically” use them. but in the end they still smell like Axe. also yes they bought one of each and share everything.

Yahaba Shigeru

easily impressed by Oikawa, also experiments with different smells but thankfully he’s more subtle with it

Kyoutani Kentarou

Axe.

Terushima Yuuji

Axe.

Aone Takanobu

nice, subtle scent, smells cozy.

Ushijima Wakatoshi

soap is soap, so also Axe.

Tendou Satori

either washes with just water or has a very specific and complicated hair care routine. there is no inbetween. smells like sandalwood and no one knows why.

Shirabu Kenjirou

Axe.

Daishou Suguru

you would think he’s edgy and different, but deep down we all know he uses Axe.

Miya Atsumu

Axe. He is THE prime Axe user. if someone thinks it's cool and manly it's Miya Atsumu.

Miya Osamu

Axe. but one of the milder ones

Suna Rintarou

doesn’t care. Axe.

Haiba Lev

stole his dads fancy cologne, which would be nice and all if he didn’t shower with a chocolate-scented body wash.

Kozume Kenma

long haired gamer. doesn’t shower. probably borrows deodorant from someone on the team because he didn’t pack any and doesn’t care how he smells. so Axe.

Yamamoto Taketora

doesn’t shower. Axe.

Kuroo Tetsurou

token “manly highschooler smell”. overuses Calvin Klein cologne. but shower gel? Axe. ironically watches the alpha male self care routines but secretly notes the shit down.

Yaku Morisuke

buys his products in those mom shops, all his products smell nice like lavender, jasmine or cotton and are vegan, clean and non-gmo.

Akaashi Keiji

takes care of himself. uses basic products, but has a separate product for everything, doesn’t believe in the 3 in 1 (actually uses a conditioner and face wash). smells like he showers regularly so the rest of the team is greatly impressed.

Bokuto Koutarou

Axe. douses himself with the deodorant. definitely had a tutti frutti phase in the past 2 years.

Sakusa Kiyoomi

rubbing alcohol, uses only hypoallergenic, non-scented products.

Yachi Hitoka

bought a strawberry-scented soap because it looked really cute. doesn’t like the scent at all but still uses it because she is anxious to tell her mom to get her a new one.

Shimizu Kiyoko

smells very feminine, uses fancier brands with floral smells.

Ukai Keishin

cigarettes. bought cologne to impress women but rarely uses it.

Takeda Ittetsu

laundry detergent. always has clean clothes and changes often.

I've being wondering about this for a while. I didn't think it, but turns out silva and kikyo do actually love each other. So killua probably grew up seeing those expressions of "love" and thinking that's normal for a relationship. How do you think that would affect his relationship with reader? And if it isn't too much, how do you think his overall experience with his family effects it? Because I highly doubt after everything he's gone through that his relationship with the reader would be perfectly normal. What're your thoughts?

before i delve into killua’s experiences, i wanna go into the psychology of a developing brain. especially during the most critical stages — from birth to five years old. according to vygotsky’s theory of child development, a child’s environment and external factors play a huge role in how a child develops as a person. he proposed that as a child, your brain is continuously learning and soaking up information. for example, right from wrong, how to treat other people, whats socially acceptable, etc etc. essentially, vygotsky believes that this stage of development is critical for how your brain functions as an adult, and that external influences play the biggest role.

now that we have that mini psychology lesson out of the way, let’s hop into how i think killua’s environment and seeing how his family treated each other affected him.

i dont know much about kiyoko and silva’s marriage so i can’t really speak on that, but based on the fact that they love each other and their kids, i can assume and speak on a few things.

firstly, killua grew up in an assassin family. he was trained from a very, very young age — most likely from when he could walk — and was required to develop an immunity to all poisons and be able to complete missions quickly and efficiently. from that, i can gather that he was trained very harshly and most likely learned to associate love with pain of some sort. i have no doubt that developing an immunity to all poisons was painful and extremely distressing for a child. this would likely shut down some pathways and cognitive processing that a child in a normal household would have.

i would also like to take illumi and kiyoko’s influence in killua’s life into consideration. illumi was extremely overprotective and manipulative, and even placed a needle in killua to control him. kiyoko was overbearing with her love for killua and, to my knowledge, always had an eye on him in some form.

now that we’ve taken developmental psychology into account, his family’s influence and behavior, and his assassin training, i can now go into how it affects him in his love life.

it has definitely affected him in some form, but also he now has gon to show him whats healthy. killua very clearly has expressed his distaste for his family, but i think that this is so deeply rooted in his brain that it would affect him for the rest of his life. and even if he did realize that it was wrong, i don’t think he would want to stop — self-indulgence at its finest. i think he rationalizes it as “my family did it this way so why would it be that bad” and “different people have different tatses”.

as for how it affects his relationship with the reader, he would be completely out of reach. both on a physical scale and a psychological scale. as an assassin, hes immune to all poisons and the reader has no chance of physically overpowering him — the only option would be to run but even then you wouldn’t be able to forever. you also have no hopes of “fixing” him. theres a very clear distinction, depending on how the reader was raised and their own tastes for love, between his views on love and theirs. at that point, you would have to live with his overbearing, self indulgent, over protective, and manipulative behavior. you’d honestly be trapped. just hope stockholm syndrome kicks in fast.

Hot takes Haikyuu characters would have

These r silly ones that arnt too deep. I just think these r some "hot takes" these boys would have that would turn into hour long convos.

"If people diet shame you, like if u eat meat or r a vegetarian, r the biggest assholes. If I see one of u in the wild I'm going to throw baby carrots at you!!Let people eat what they wanna fuck wad!"

- Bokuto, Karoo, Daichi (this man will go into the "what do u want for people to do have an eating issuer??!!" part of it) Yamaguchi, Tendou, Tanaka (hello gym owner, personal trainer, man would go HARD)

"Y does anyone care about body count? Like y would it matter how many people someone has slept with before you?? It gets concerning only if it's like 15 20+ in a month bc.. like r u ok? Or like STD reasons but like ur an adult chances r uve has sex with more then one person. ALSO if ur keeping count of the number of people u've slept with and it's more then 10 y r u keeping count....that is such a frat boy hoe move"

- Ushijima, Akaashi, Tsukishima, Tanaka, Kuroo, Kiyoko, Saeko, kageyama, Meian, Atsumu (haikyuus resident fanon slut) Suna

“Why can't woman have hobbies without getting shit for it? Like if she likes sports she's a pick me, if she likes kpop she's weird, if she likes gaming she's just doing it for guys but if it's sims or animal crossing she's a fake gamer, matter of fact y can't they like certain artist without men quizzing them like they gotta know every fuckin detail about them?! Y do we as men think we gotta only have stuff and anyone else who likes it is fake??"

- Kenma, Suna, Tanaka (hes for the girls 💅🏻) Henita (protective older brother mode) Akaashi, Kiyoko, Yachi, Saeko (this will turn into a 45 min rant)

“Rich out of touch people need to stay in their own lane. Don’t try to act like ur “just a regular average Joe.” Their is nothing wrong with being famous or rich but it isn’t a relatable for an average middle class person and it just comes off as fake or patronizing.”

- Kenma (I feel like bc he is an influencer he has this opinion strongly) Kuroo, Meian, Atsumu, Osamu, Tanaka (again bc I feel like he gets his fair share of athletes) Iwaizumi, Kageyama, Hinata (i feel like he doesn’t take any of the success he has for granted)

“A man recognizing that another man is handsome shouldn’t be automatically considered them to possibly be gay. Why is it that if a man is comfortable in their sexuality it is seen as something praisable? Like if a woman do it it’s normal but if a man does it everyone is assuming they r gay. Like no we can be comfortable enough in our sexuality to be able to show this. Like it’s seen as not masculine and that is just silly. I can’t show emotion beside happiness or rage without being considered “feminine” ?? How dumb.”

- Atsumu, Bokuto, Kuroo, (i feel like both get passionate about this, because people questioned their sexuality/relationship in high school) yamaguchi, Hinata, Nishinoya, Asahi, Kenma

Let me know if I should do a part 2 bc I could keep going but I literally almost ran out of hashtag room lol

The special investigators when they were in CCG academy

Kuroiwa: the silent guy. Seems hard to understand at first but actually very reliable. People respect him for not even flinch at injuries and always carry people to the infirmary

Shinohara: the funny guy who always makes dirty jokes. Once sneaked adult magazine and alcohol in the class, it did not end well. The teachers think he's a troublemaker but the students love him. When he was not running around making troubles he would explain the lessons to anyone who came to him because he is patient and good at explanation and

Mougan: Sometimes refuse to go inside some places because "there's a malevolent spirit here". People begged him to do psychic stuffs like contacting someone who died and called him a liar when he refused. A true party goer, if there was a party you would see Mougan there. The lecturers asked him many times to not scream while firing weapons

Aura: the popular girl. She hold the record of "getting the most confession in one day" and "getting the most confession from both genders". She was so pretty some people suggested her to be in S2 squad or become a lecturer so there's less chance to be injured. She never speaks to them again. She has a friendly rivalry with Mado Kasuka and people loved seeing them compete against each other. When not competing they would rant about how CCG treats women, with Kiyoko swore that she would never get married and Kasuka said she would only marry someone in this line of work and fully respects her will.

Ui: "what's this rich pretty boy doing here?" "He will get killed the first day on battlefield" "I heard his family donated a large sum of money for CCG" Ui's academic life is full of rumors and doubt, which made him really upset at first. Until he learned that he could do better than most of those people lol. Got mistaked for a girl easily, refused to change his iconic bowl cut

Houji: the secret troublemaker. Unlike Shinohara who did everything publicly to gain attention from his fellow classmates, Houji took pride in messing things up without anyone notice because no one thought it was his handy work. He stayed in the dormitory of the academy and never returned home during holidays. People like him, he didn't have any friend.

Marude: he was in a biker gang and he was super proud of it. Confused about why he prefers looking at boys to girls. Talked a lot during lessons but he can answer every question perfectly. He was very good at shooting but not as much for heavy weapons due to his physical, which made him kinda jealous/mad at the buff, strong guys

Arima: Marude tried to make him go to the academy for one day. He was late and missed the first two periods and didn't know what to do so he just stand outside the class until people led him in. People surrounded him during lunchtime to ask if the rumors about him were true and caused a scene in the cafeteria. He was too good for the practical lessons but too far behind for the theory lessons (like "why should we calculate the RC regeneration rate? We just need to kill them fast"). He dropped out after 2 days.

I’m bored and the guys at work are being goofy so here’s a list of no context things I’ve heard from The Boys™ recently.

“Call me a fake lesbian but I don’t really like girl in red. Clairo? Love. WILLOW? Besties. Hayley Kiyoko? Lesbian Jesus. But Girl in Red and I don’t really vibe. Sorry.”

“Maybe I’m losing my mind, but I wanna bite that truck.”

“Aye, watch your language.” “Will it do a flip?” “What?” “Watch it’s gunna do a flip!” [flips manager off]

“Have y’all heard about the Zuckerberg V. Musk fight? Okay let’s debate. Kanye or Swift, who would win? Actually. That wouldn’t be fair, Kanye never stood a chance. Okay. Obama or Trump? Fists only, no weapons.”

“Do you ever wonder if grass can feel? Like. What if it screams on a frequency I can’t hear every time I step on it? What if the fresh mowed grass smell is actually grass tears and blood?”

“I know we all agreed, but…”

“If lightning struck me right now, would y’all try to save me?”

“Sometimes I’m like ‘Hozier is a god.’ And sometimes I’m like ‘Hozier is just some guy.’”

“Someone threw away a black American Express card. Can I keep it? It’s not expired.”

“I’m not allowed to set off fireworks anymore. It’s not my fault I didn’t know they were actual explosions that could burn a house down. No, this wasn’t when I was a kid, this was like three months ago.”

“What do you think the sky tastes like?”

“When I was twelve, my mom hit me with her car backing out of the driveway and she didn’t even take me to the hospital. I think I broke my arm and I’m pretty sure that’s why my wrist does this. [shows wrist making clicking noise when he rolls it]”

“Okay. But. What if. Nope wait, I think that’s illegal.”

“God customers are stupid. Are you closed?? No lady, the sign says we’re closed because we’re open. It makes me want to eat a car battery.”

“If you could only eat one bug for the rest of your life, what would it be?”

“What are y’all’s opinions on potato flavored chewing gum?”

“Can I start bringing my dog to work?”

“Can I break this? I know it’s already broken, I want to break it more.”

“I’m a simple man. I like when things go boom. That doesn’t mean I started the fire.”

“Sometimes I like to take a bath and pretend I’m a little potato getting boiled to make some mashed potatoes.”

“Why can’t I be a duck? Why do I have to be a person?”

“But if I just punch him in the face, I don’t have to worry about him being mean anymore.”

“Maggie. Maggie. Maggie. Maggie. Maggie. Maggie. Maggie. Mag - okay I’m bored now.”

“If I was a rock, I think I’d be a big blue smooth shiny rock. What rock would you be?”

“I have an announcement to make. Stalactites and stalagmites. That is all. Carry on.”

“Sorry, was that gay?”

“I think being an adult is all about being nice to yourself. And taxes, maybe.”

“Why does the dirt over here taste saltier than the dirt by the flowers?”

“No. If I’m not asking him about Taylor Swift, what makes you think I’d ask him about Gracie Abrams?”

“Can I make a list of everyone’s red flags?” “Only if you list their green flags too.”

“I had to change your contact name to Charles. I don’t know why Charles, I just panicked and picked the first name I could think of.”

“Sometimes I forget she’s your mom.” “She’s not my mom. Do you think she’s my mom?” “Not anymore.”

“God. Everyone wants to be Donna but no one wants to be Rachel. No one is Donna except Donna. Everyone else is Rachel. Or they’re Harold.” (Someone please tell me what this means, I have no idea what he’s talking about)

“Why do crickets taste like that?”

“Oh to be a silly little horse in a silly little field being taken care of by a silly little person I could crush like a bug beneath my silly little hooves.”

“Tell me more, tell me more, like does he have a car?”

“The world went to hell when autopsies started testing for poison. Women just can’t poison their husbands anymore. That was the true beginning of the downfall of society.”

“What happens if someone asks to take their motorcycle through the carwash?”

“You don’t have to file customer complaints if you eat the paper they’re written on.”

“And if I said I still haven’t forgiven John Wilkes Booth, what would you say?”

“I don’t say this lightly, but the Pedro Pascual edits on tiktok have confused me sexually.”

“I just pulled a dead bird out of some guy’s grill. Anyone hungry?”

“Taylor Swift might have forgiven him but that doesn’t mean I have to!”

“Why aren’t we allowed to have a company pet? Firefighters get Dalmatians, we should be allowed like. A fish or something.”

“I dreamt that I came to work yesterday and worked an entire shift, is there any way I can get that added to my pay?”

“My girlfriend is mad at me because I keep playing I’m Just Ken and telling her she’s Kenough.”

“Can we close early on October the thirteenth? Oh, no reason… On a completely unrelated note: what should I wear to the Eras Tour movie?”

“If my grandmother confessed to murdering my grandfather but it happened in like the eighties, do I have to report it? Hypothetically, of course.”

“Sometimes a man just needs to cry to mirrorball and tolerate it in his car. Sometimes he just needs to scream Death by A Thousand Cuts. Sometimes…”

“I accidentally just called a customer Mom and she gave me her phone number, what do I do?”

“It’s only blasphemy if you get caught. Do you really think God has time to listen to everything every single person says?”

“Sometimes I wish I was a woman but then I remember this is America and I thank the stars that I’m not. Sorry, Maggie.”

“Why is it so hard to find a stupidly rich woman searching for a trophy husband?”

“Do you think I could walk through the carwash instead of taking a shower?”

[after a guy’s day off] “I missed you guys yesterday. I wish I never had to leave.”

“My sister told me I was adopted and my mom got mad because she wasn’t supposed to but like. My parents are white. I’m black. I already knew.”

“I just had a child quote Revelations at me because I told him he shouldn’t drink the glass cleaner.”

“I forgot my shoes. Also, I just stepped in glass in the parking lot, someone should really clean that up.”

“I think everyone should be allowed to kill someone if they have a really good reason. I would kill the guy that called my sister a bitch because she didn’t want to sleep with him. Who would you kill?”

“Is… is that… not… normal?” [hint: it was not.]

“I stand with Sansa - I mean Sophie Turner.”

“I still don’t understand why I’m not allowed to punch customers in the mouth for being assholes to Maggie and Dru.”

“What kind of tree do you think I am?”

“Apparently I was supposed to listen to the new Olivia Rodrigo album with my girlfriend and now she’s upset with me for listening to it with y’all first.”

“Every night, I go to sleep and every morning, I wake up. How do I stop this cycle?”

More the Merrier

Daichi x Suga x Asahi x m!reader

Requested by @gosen-kun

Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four

“GUYS! I HAVE RECEIVED THE GREATEST NEWS!!” Daichi sighed as Noya came screaming into the gym.

Suga just offered the second year a smile, “Is this like the time your ‘greatest news’ was that you didn’t have to be an adult to buy energy drinks like your mom told you?”

“No! This is better than that!”

“Like the ‘greatest news’ that Kiyoko was in fact single?”

“Even better than that!!!”

The whole team stopped moving, curiously watching their libero, until Daichi caved first, “Okay. Noya, what news do you have that is better than that?”

“MY BROTHER FINALLY FINISHED HIS EXCHANGE PROGRAM! HE’S COMING HOME!!”

“BROOOOOO!” Tanaka ran over, shaking his best friend, “Your brother’s been on that exchange for like two years, hasn’t he!?”

“You have a brother?” Hinata cocked his head, “You’ve never mentioned him.”

“He’s been studying in America! Left when I was in my last year of middle school. Apparently all the kids that wanted to do it had to pass some exam, and he was the highest scorer so he got to go. I think the person they exchanged him with was going to Shiratorizawa. But he’s finally coming back! He promised to come meet everybody!”

Tsukishima snorted, “Did he get all the brains in the family then?”

“What year is he? Graduated or something?” Noya was grinning at their curiosity, choosing to ignore the blonde’s comment.

“Nope! Third year! So we’ll see him around a bunch, he even said he’d help Kiyoko and Yachi with manager stuff.” A look crossed his face like he just remembered something, “KIYOKOOOOOO I NEED A MANAGER APPLICATION!!”

The team laughed, their curiosity piqued at who could be related to this chaotic child, but the third years didn’t know their curiosity could get any higher.

You were finally back in Miyagi, and man, you had missed it. The owners of the bakery you used to frequent almost cried when you walked in, not having gotten the word of your return. The older couple pulled you in for a hug as they gushed about how handsome you’d gotten and how you’ve grown. You laugh as you thank them, promising to stop in to catch up before heading to your brother’s morning practice with a satisfied smile. Your parents had told him you were coming home the following week, but you were able to get on an earlier flight and decided you’d surprise him. You were a little jet lagged, and thankful most of your stuff was mailed back, but you knew how infectious his energy could be so you didn’t let it slow you down as you made your way across the school grounds with a line duffel bag hanging from your shoulder. Admittedly, you hadn’t been going to Karasuno long enough to have the location of the gym memorized, but a teacher spotted and directed you on your way. The sound of your brother’s voice filled your ears as you got to the door, he must’ve been the last one through because it was left cracked like he used to when he ran in your room to rant about something, “You guys will love him, I’m telling you! He’s funny and smart and I bet he could match Saltyshima insult for insult.”

Another voice you didn’t recognize belonging to a tall blonde chimed in, “You keep talking shorty, I’m going to hang you from the net pole.”

At that you decided to walk in, “You put my brother on the net pole, and I’m putting you back in the farm you escaped from, beanstalk.” Everyone froze at the unfamiliar presence. As excited as Noya had been, it was like he was trying to convince himself he wasn’t dreaming. “What? No hug for your big brother?”

“Y/N!!!!” Ennoshita was almost afraid there would be skid marks on the gym floor with how quickly the chaotic duo took off to tackle you. Noya jumped on you, wrapping his arms around your neck while Tanaka wrapped his around your waist, blubbering incoherently about how much they’d missed you.

“Aye, you two, calm the hell down.”

“Yes, sir!” The two of them cheered, standing up straight as they stared at you with starry eyes.

“Tanaka, why are you getting so emotional? You didn’t even know Nishinoya when his brother went abroad.”

“Ah, Suga, you’re asking the real questions.” You smiled, “Ryu and Yuu would FaceTime me together all the time. And then Ryu would FaceTime me alone when he was getting up to come unlock the gym for the crazy first years I’ve heard about.”

“How do you know my name?”

Noya looked almost offended, “Did you think I wouldn’t tell him about you guys or something!?”

“Even if he didn’t, I went to school with the third years for like two months before I left. But, let’s see, we’ve got Dadchi, Sugamomma, Jesus- I mean Asahi-“

“Why do you keep referring to me as Jesus, Noya?” Asahi looked both nervous, and exasperated.

“It’s the hair, my dude. But continuing on, I see Ennoshita- can’t wait to see what you can do as captain, Kinnoshita and Narita, and then these are the first years, right?” Everyone nodded with wide eyes as you circled the first years, Hinata and Kageyama looked terrified, Yamaguchi looked beyond nervous, and Tsukishima was still glaring at you for the comment you made when you entered. “This is the one with the killer jump float you told me about, right?” You turned to your brother, finger pointed at Yamaguchi, and Noya nodded eagerly. “So the little orange one is the one that can jump super fucking high?”

“Yeah, that’s me! You wanna see!?”

“Sure, short stuff, show me what you got- HOLY SHIT! Noya, you said he could jump, not defy the laws of fucking physics!”

“What even is this practice,” Daichi muttered to himself, and you cursed under your breath.

“I am so sorry! I was so excited to surprise him that I forgot what you were here for.” You bowed to the captain, “My apologies, captain.”

“Whoa, whoa, it’s okay! Really!”

“Y/N, Y/N! Are you gonna be here for after school practice!? I can show you my Rolling Thunder!”

“Yuu, I keep telling you that’s just a rolling receive.” You laughed, missing the way half the team seemed mesmerized by the action, as he argued with you that wasn’t true, “If it’s okay with your coach, I can swing by. I need to stop by the office and get paperwork and figure out where my classes are. I’ll see ya later, Yuu.” You started out the door, just to stop on the other side and look around curiously. “Can any of you tell me where the office is?”

That was how the days went. The school wasn’t prepared for you the week you were back, so you would just stop in for the practices in the morning, and then again in the afternoon. Daichi was thankful, Noya and Tanaka looked up to you so they calmed down their rowdy behavior when you would tell them to chill. Before anyone really knew it, you had been back at school for a month.

“So tell me,” you started as you dropped into the seat at the lunch table with the third years, “how long have the three of you been dating?”

Kiyoko snorted as you looked at the three boys, each stuttering and stopping before Kiyoko finally took pity on them, “They aren’t.”

You gaped at her, “No fucking way.”

“You’re telling me.” She sighed.

“Why- Why did you think we were?” Daichi asked, and you a little afraid Asahi was going to passed out with how red his face was.

“Isn’t it obvious?” You cocked your head, “For one, my gaydar has never been wrong.” Kiyoko snorted again and you grinned at the usually composed girl, “But for two, the three of you- I mean even if your feelings weren’t obvious, you fill in each other’s needs. You have complementary traits. Daichi is strict but cares about you need, Suga is chaotic but reminds you to have fun, Asahi is anxious but helps you guys realize that not everything is as big of a deal as it feels.”

“What would your traits be, Y/N?” Kiyoko’s lips curled into a slight smirk, and you tried to suppress the flush you felt burning your ears.

“This isn’t about me! Let me know when you guys figure it out!” You bolted from the table, snatching Noya from his seat and fleeing the room.

Somehow, Noya had spread word to the rest of the team, and eventually they were all approaching with poorly veiled descriptions of their crushes, until you finally stomped into afternoon practice, “OKAY, BITCHES. LINE THE FUCK UP.”

“Y/N, you can’t just-“

“SHUT IT DAICHI. YOU AND SUGA AND ASAHI, YOU ARE ADORABLE AND I LOVE YOU BUT I AM GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT!” You took a deep breath, tapping your foot on the ground, “I have been used to rehearse not one, not two, not even three confessions. HAVE ANY OF YOU EVEN DONE WHAT I SUGGESTED!?” Silence. “Didn’t think so.” You grabbed Ennoshita’s and Narita’s hands, guiding them to Kinnoshita, “Congratulations, you’re now a throuple. And possibly my favorites at this point, you non drama starting gods. Next,” you pointed to the salty middle blocker, “Yams is a fucking angel, and literally the only person you don’t snap at and can hold a conversation with, how you thought nobody would that crush that’s larger than your favorite dinosaur- only fucking god knows because I’m sure it could be seen from Pluto. If you can’t ask him out by the end of practice, then I swear to god I’m calling Akiteru and getting him to give me a key to your house and I will put every embarrassing thing you own on blast for this whole team to see. Yams- sweetie. I don’t know where to begin. You know he’s emotionally constipated and you still want him?” Yamaguchi’s was bright red but he still nodded, “Okay, I’ve done what I can there. Hinata, I don’t- KAGEYAMA DONT YOU TRY TO SNEAK AWAY! Now, Hinata, Kageyama, if you guys could stop challenging each for five seconds-“

“NO I’M GONNA CONFESS BEFORE KAGEYAMA AND IT IS GONNA BE ROMANTIC!”

“NOT IF I DO IT FIRST YOU TANGERINE!”

“BET!”

“You know what? I’ll take it. Now, just one left. But poor baby has anxiety so everyone go outside for a second.”

“Why did we get called out in front of-“

“OUTSIDE!” The team moved quickly, leaving you alone with the managers, who you grabbed by the shoulders to keep them inside. “Now, Kiyoko, angel, is my gaydar off this time?”

“Do you need an answer to a question you already know?”

“That’s what i thought. You put poor Yachi into a gay panic when you asked her about being manager.”

“I am sorry, Yachi. Would you like to get coffee sometime?”

“Uh- YeS?”

“Terrific. I’ll meet you on Saturday at your place so I can walk you to our date.”

You heaved a sigh of relief. “My work here is done.” You opened the door to the gym back up, “We’re finished, go ahead and practice.”

“What about Noya and Tanaka?” Hinata asked.

“Those idiots have been dating but in denial for months, there’s nothing I can do for them.”

Ukai stood in the corner of the gym, “What the fuck? Did I just watch my team get bullied into relationships?”

“Best not to think on it, coach.” You grinned.

adult sleepover. Kuroo’s Route

these are a little shorter because I wanted to leave the ‘ending’ open for your interpretations.

pt. 1 | pt. 2

@moonlit-mizukage @kuroosdarling @the-moons-raes

all works owned by @hinahaikyuu— please do not plagiarize, copy or modify my works.

Two Years Later:

“Are you ready?” Yaku stood in the doorway of your hotel room, looking at you with nothing but a proud gaze. “You got about two minutes.”

“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. What about him?” you tried not to chew your lip, and it was as obvious as the sun during the daylight. you’d ruin your makeup if you did. Yaku could tell and just chuckled at you.

“I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t nervous, no matter how suave he tries to be.” Yaku smirked, holding his arm out to you and helping you down the stairs outside your hotel room.

“Thank you for coming. I know it’s not easy visiting from Russia.”

“Don’t be. I’m more than happy to do this for you.” He smiled, helping Yukie straighten your dress and add the little tiara to your hair. “Are you ready for me to give you away?”

The moment you nodded, Yukie and Kiyoko opened the big doors to the hotels ballroom. The room was adorned with white and silver, with some accents of red and black. You and Kuroo had agreed it would be a good idea to use some colors of your old high school alumni, and you were so happy you did. The roses were all red and white lining the isle along the chairs. red and black streamers interlaced with the flowers. The old volleyball team was apart of the wedding, Kenma stood behind Kuroo in a black suit with a white button down and black bow tie. Yaku had been dressed in white suit with a red button down and black tie. Everyone else was dressed as nice as they could in the chosen colors of the wedding.

Then there stood Kuroo Tetsurou. A pristine black three piece suit with a red button down as shiny as the sparkle in your eyes. His black silky tie lay perfect on his chest tucked under with the rose in his breast pocket. The moment he saw you walking down, all the nerves just drained away from the both of you. This was the day both of you had been waiting for since high school, well hoping for. At least now it was here.

When reaching the end of the isle, your libero wrapped his arm around your back while you leaned forward into his chest in an attempt to embrace as tradition. He gave you a kiss on your temple, before handing your hand off to Tetsu to walk you up the stairs. Yaku took his spot behind you, his best friend.

Tetsu looked behind Yaku, when he really thought about it he though that his libero would be the one to end up with you. He voiced it out once, just a couple months into dating when Yaku came for another visit. His heart sank when the two of you smiled, but quickly changed when he saw you laugh. Yeah, the two of you were close, but you explained to Kuroo what you went through together and it made sense. You never had a brother, and he didn’t have a sister. The closest thing to the other would have. He never needed to give it a second thought after that.

“Tetsu. I’m over here.” you whispered, smiling and chuckling.

“I know. I have to give my silent condolences to your standing in brother here.” Tetsu smiled, holding your hands even tighter. “Let’s get married.”

Dear Tetsu,

Tonight broke my heart. I know you wanted to beat Karasuno, but you did your best out there. I was surprised when you came by tonight alone, just to find my comfort. I didn’t know you felt that safe with me. I’m afraid to tell you the truth but I think tonight was enough to know my place and our security. I wouldn't’ want to ruin that.

Seeing you cry over losing was so heartbreaking, you are so strong for holding it in as long as you did. Better than myself, crying as soon as we got on the bus. You always said I was a cry baby, and I hope that brings you comfort knowing you don’t cry as easily as I do. Haha.

I know this isn’t the end of us, were going the same university but it does feel like something is ending, and I don’t know what it is. It scares me, and I really hope you stick around to the end with me. You probably won’t ever know, or see this. Who knows what the future holds.

But I love you.

Make Me Handsome, Make Me Loved

Transmasc rengoku fic. that is all. also tw for dysphoria and transphobia.

‘I want to die,’ she thought, staring into the full body mirror.

Her body disgusted her. She didn’t want it. She- he?- didn’t want this feminine frame, breasts and genitals. He was tired of this. What was he to do, though? He’d told his therapist about it, and his dad. Neither of them took him seriously. They doubted his desire to transition, doubted everything he said. They thought it was a phase.

No one took him seriously.

He thinks he’s done with therapy.

He picks up a brush and runs it roughly through his long, tangled hair. It was messy and heavy on his head, but he couldn’t bear to part with it(like he couldn’t bear his body). Maybe that’s why everyone refused to believe he’s a man.

When the brush gets stuck for the fifth time he gives up, pulling it from his knotted hair and placing it on the dresser. He did better than yesterday. It’s fine. He might even work up the energy to wash his hair tonight.

If he can get in the shower at all.

He got a tip online to shower in the dark. He wonders if he should try that, if it would help much. He thinks he might test it out.

He’s getting dressed now, slipping into a pair of boxers and a binder. It’s his first time wearing either thing, and it feels so strange but so good. His friend, Obanai, bought them for him. The boxers are like the ones in those old american cartoons- white and baggy with little red hearts. Something about that causes his brain to release a slew of endorphins.

Next is the pants- baggy jeans with patches in the knee that he bought from a thrift store. Then comes his new flannel shirt, one that’s too big on him. He has to roll the sleeves up, which makes it squeeze the muscles in his forearms. For the first time in his life, he feels like a real man.

He thinks he’s ready to finally, finally leave the house.

His dad was yelling at him. Of course he was. Why didn’t he expect this? He wanted Kyojuro- Kiyoko- to change into a dress. He- she- was so tired of this. She couldn’t stand her father’s drunken ramblings, couldn’t stand dealing with him anymore. It was awful.

She went to change.

He- she- held back tears as they swelled in her eyes. Layer by layer, she shed the clothes she had so lovingly placed upon her horrid body. She stopped as she reached her underwear. She wanted to puke at the thought of taking off the binder.

Slowly, she stripped herself of her last layer of clothing.

She secured her bra with shaking hands, messing up multiple times. The underwire dug into her ribs and made it hard to breathe. She felt so sick. This was awful.

She stepped into her lacy panties next. She was sobbing now. She wanted to die. She grabbed a yellow sundress from the hanger and painstakingly put it on. It felt so, so very wrong.

She felt the acrid taste in the back of her throat, the pressure building as she raced to the bathroom. Heave after heave, she vomited the contents of her stomach until there was nothing left- not even bile. She sat there, breathing heavily in a crumpled dress.

Slowly, she picked herself up from the dirty bathroom tiles. She cleaned her face and brushed her teeth. Mouthwash couldn’t rinse him of the awful taste of self hatred.

Maybe the adults in her life were right. Maybe she was a girl- just a delusional, silly little girl who wanted to be something she never could be. Maybe this whole ‘transgender’ thing was exactly as her father said- a disgusting, ridiculous phase. Maybe he- she- would grow out of it.

He didn’t want to.

Being a man felt right, felt real. As a girl it felt like he was putting on an act while wearing molten-hot metal heels. That’s a weird metaphor, he knows, but whatever. What does it matter?

What does anything matter?

He- she- still feels sick. It’s like her body is made of stone; a crumbling statue on a curtained stage. She can’t escape, no matter how much he wants to.

Why does she keep calling herself he? Like her father and therapist said, she’s a girl. Just a girl, alone, chained up in her own body. It’s not that part of her that’s chained, though. He knows it’s all a lie, but still just can’t bring herself to believe it.

He should call Obanai. Obanai always knows what to say, what to do. They really are a good friend. But, still, he’s hesitant. Why should he bother his friend, put this on them? They’ve helped plenty enough already. They’ve done so much for him. He needs to pay them back somehow, he knows.

He picks up the phone, opens discord, and presses the ‘call’ button. No going back now, or Obanai will worry even more. His breath hitches nervously when they pick up, and finds himself chewing on his hair.

“Hey Kyo, what’s up?”

“Oh, I, nothing really. I just wanted to.. to talk.”

“...what happened?”

He breaks down again.

“I put on the.. the.. the outfit we go.. we got. He, um, he.. He made me change. Told me to.. told me to wear a dress. I put it on, God, Oba, I felt so sick. I broke down crying and threw up. I don’t.. I don’t think I can.. Can do th-this.” He was practically sobbing into the receiver at this point. It hurts, and he feels guilty. He doesn’t know what to do, really.

There’s a moment of silence before he hears a quiet hum.

“Hey, it’s okay, Kyo. Take a few deep breaths, control your breathing. Feel the air coursing through your body, and remind yourself that this will pass. It’ll be okay, I promise.”

He follows the advice, feels himself calm as his breathing evens out. He feels less heavy now, less panicky as his tears dry. It still hurts, though.

“Okay, good, good. Why don’t you put the clothes in a bag and come to my house? You can change when you get here, it’ll be fine.”

He nods along before remembering they can’t see it. A quiet ‘okay’ falls from his lips. He’s calming down. He has a little hope again. It’s getting better. It’ll be fine.

They talk it over a little more before hanging up. He packs a bag, and heads out. His dad barely pays attention this time. He doesn’t want to go out like this, but he reminds himself it’ll be fine. It’ll end well.

He starts the car and presses his foot to the gas pedal. It’ll be fine. He’s careful, as always, while he drives. In no time he pulls into the driveway, and heads up to Obanai’s apartment. He stands at the door for a solid five minutes before he knocks, and it opens instantly.

He’s rushed inside, and allowed to change in the bathroom. He’s never changed so very fast before. It’s relieving. It feels amazing. He looks like a man again, so masculine. It’s so great.

Obanai whistles as he comes out, and he smiles. He still doesn’t feel good, but he does feel right. Maybe things will be fine. He wishes it could be like this forever, but he knows it can’t. At least he has his friends. They're always there for him.

ON HEARTSTOPPER

Ever since the show's release, there are memes going around on Twitter, with queer people assigning a piece of LGBTQ+ media they grew up with as their Heartstopper. Luckily for me, and for other queer kids and teenagers, my Heartstopper is, well, Heartstopper.

The comic was first published on Tumblr back in 2016 but the characters of Nick and Charlie were much, much older, appearing in Alice Oseman's debut YA novel Solitaire. I didn't know why and how I stumbled upon Heartstopper, but I have been reading a lot of LGBTQ-themed young adult novels at that point and my then-newfound love of graphic novels was already introduced by N.D. Stevenson's Nimona. It had a lot of things that appealed to me – teenage kids, a sensetive look at queerness, fast-paced plot and dialogue – and so I downloaded it and read it. It was a moment of a lifetime.

By then, I probably never realized that it was integral to my discovery of my identity. I was only at Volume 1, just a short narrative of Nick and Charlie's friendship until they inevitably kissed at the end. But it made me feel warm and happy. I never really knew exactly when I started reading it. I looked through the downloaded files on my phone and discovered I saved the first volume just a week before my fifteenth birthday.

At that point, I was starting to come to terms with the fact that I liked girls. I had a crush on this girl a year or so before I started reading Heartstopper, but I never realized what the feeling was until the new school year came. It was terrifying – it kept me up at night, it made me wonder if the signs have been there all along, it made me realize that the fluttering heat in your stomach and the sheer willingness to make your friend happy are not normal experiences of a stone-cold heterosexual.

I found company in books (I was always a massive bookworm). I watched coming-out videos on YouTube. I talked, in some depth, about queerness with my friends. I listened to Hayley Kiyoko, Troye Sivan, King Princess. I had a standard queer realization – cute girl sits next to me, I realize that my identity wasn't I thought it was, I blast Girls Like Girls to myself when I'm alone.

And Heartstopper showed all of that -- all the messy, confusing, and hopeful parts of queer discovery.

Nick thought he was straight his whole life – until he got sat next to openly gay, anxious Charlie. He took 'Am I Gay?' quizzes in the darkness of his bedroom. Nick struggled to fit in his idea of what queerness is until he managed to find his place and label his identity.

I admit, I have only recently gotten aware of the parallels between my life and Heartstopper. I just realized how Heartstopper has been pivotal to my own coming-of-age, to my own anxieties about my identity, to my own Nick-like moments of discovering my sexuality.

Heartstopper transcends beyond the 'boy-meets-boy' narrative that most YA queer novels have, even though the comic is marketed as such. I'm not saying that cute budding gay relationships are not important -- they are and more should be made -- but Heartstopper simply touched on many things and issues that I never anticipated. This was probably the first time I read about a non-white trans girl whose story is not marred by trauma and despair. There is a steady, lesbian couple who, although facing homophobia from peers and classmates, stood strong by each other until the very end. There are accepting teachers and parents and siblings. There is a nuanced discussion about mental health and eating disorders as the comic progresses. There are wholesome, fluffy plotlines -- I do, in fact, think that those are the lifeblood of the comic -- interpersed with realistic, hurtful scenarios, like an abusive closeted boyfriend, school bullies, homophobic family members, and struggles with one's own mental and physical health.

Heartstopper is brilliant, from an objective, comic-making perspective, but it's also emotionally impactful to the people who read it, especially LGBTQ+ children who are still having a difficult time in finding their own place in the world.

For something that tells experiences that are so specific -- Oseman grew up in southeast England, and Heartstopper is set in the same town, schools, and environment -- Heartstopper is massively relatable. I was -- still am -- a teenage kid who moved to a bustling city and studied in a large public high school in the Philippines. The Heartstopper kids studied in same-gendered private grammar schools in a relatively small town in England. Still, Tao's words to Charlie at the beginning of the comic and the show, telling him that Nick is straight and should let go of his hopeless crush on him, mirrored the same speech one of my friends gave to me when I told them of my own hopeless crush on another girl. Despite of the fact that our reasons of changing schools are obviously different, I empathized with Elle and the difficulty she faced in finding friends in a new environment. I found kinship in Nick in regards to working on his sexuality. I felt my feelings echoed when Darcy said she "liked girls a bit more than she's supposed to". Tara's feelings after coming out was painful and heart-achingly relatable. I even found Isaac's (one of the new characters Oseman made for the Netflix adaptation) occassional disinterest hilarious and 'me-coded', as the "kids" on Twitter would say.

Tao spoke to me the most, however. For someone who is the only cisgender and heterosexual member of their immediate friend group, Tao's uneasiness towards change and his brash overprotectiveness over his friends resonated to me a lot.

I think that's part of the beauty and charm of Heartstopper. Sometimes you directly related to one of the characters and the struggles they faced and the happiness they earned, but I personally found bits of myself scattered throughout the comic, the show, and the characters. It's oftentimes funny and, in a few moments, gutting -- I have heard homophobic tirades from older schoolmates against a friend of mine, and I had no idea what to do or what to say. Classic, Catholic homophobia still resides within our school, a different flavor than what was shown in Heartstopper, but still, as usual, brings the same element of hate and incites a wavering feeling of guilt and anger within queer students. Only just recently, I've read a homophobic speech from a batchmate of mine, hidden under the guise of preserving the sanctity of marriage.

Queerness can feel isolating. I have spoken about crushes and attractions on other girls with friends -- I even alluded to those on my own Twitter posts as I had gotten more comfortable -- but I have never really said anything about how alienating it is to be young and Filipino and queer. I'm sure a lot of my friends relate, but these discussions of our intermingling identities are a bit too deep for a bunch of kids who haven't even graduated high school yet. I went on a panic when my father was moments away on discovering that Girls Like Girls was playing on my phone. I felt a deep sense of melancholy as I watched my straight classmates just openly declare their crushes out loud, with no fear of weird stares from onlookers. Just around a year ago, I became withdrawn when a friend mentioned briefly that I liked girls online to complete strangers, when I was still insecure about my identity. And I had no one to talk to about those things.

Heartstopper is one of things that could save people from the feeling of loneliness. Authentic queer media is already so rare, and optimistic, teen-focused narratives are even rarer. It provides a grounded look on what it means to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community, where kids find strength within themselves and amongst their friends. 'Heartstopper' doesn't have a grandiose coming-out-moment with Nick. It doesn't have romantic gestures as big as the Eiffel Tower. It doesn't wallow in gritty events and let the characters be unnecessarily traumatized and hurt. Despite the fact that Heartstopper feels "smaller" than most teenage-oriented media, it still captures the overwhelming feeling of "every little thing is important when you're a teenager". Nick coming out to his mother as bisexual is a quiet and peaceful and loving affair, but it's also freeing and liberating and an important step into his acceptance of himself. Even quaint milkshake triple-dates are crucial events, especially when five out of the six attendees are not completely cis and heterosexual. Queer people being allowed to live silent, tranquil lives is, personally, one of the biggest and powerful statements Heartstopper has to offer.

I'm just idly waiting for the announcement of the season two renewal of 'Heartstopper', rewatching my favorite bits of the show. I am but a simple Heartstopper fan, anyway, and there are people who can provide more impactful analyses and anecdotes about the show and the comic. Still, it's a bit of a relief to talk about these feelings for a while, like I finally let myself exhale for a long, long time. Perhaps I needed a show like Heartstopper to finally accept these emotions within myself, to process the experiences that made me me these past few years.

Heartstopper is not the end-all, be-all beacon of queer representation in media -- it still centers around two British middle-class cis white boys -- but it definitely is a step in the right direction. There are still more stories to mold, to tell, to take flight. Positively speaking, we can only really go up from here -- and I hope those stories become the Heartstopper of other, younger queer kids.

I wrote this months ago (probably obvious because of the "season 2 waiting" bit LMAO since Heartstopper has been renewed for two more seasons) but I think it deserves to be posted!

Hey bestie! Sorry for being MIA, I've been busy adulting 😒

So I saw the other anon mention Wakunan ans you mention Daichi getting hurt. Pls. There was a time where some fans were convinced Daichi died in that episode. It was hilarious. But that made me think what if they have a manager that is JUST as chaotic as Tanaka and Nishinoya when Daichi got hit. I know you aren't doing live Hc so lemme add it here myself:

*Daichi gets hit by Tanaka*

YN: OMG. What just happened? Yachi! WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED.

Yachi: Daichi got hit. I wonder if he's okay.

*Daichi not moving*

YN: HE'S NOT MOVING YACHI. OH GOD. DAICHI'S DEAD. TANAKA KILLED DAICHI. 😭😭😭

Nishinoya overhears YN: Diachi's dead? NOOO CAP COME BACK!

YN and Nishinoya are losing their minds.

Hinata comes up and they tell him Tanaka killed Daichi.

YN: Hinata! Diachi's dead and now Tanaka is gonna go to jail.

Hinata: 😱Daichi's dead? Tanaka? Jail? Now we'll never make it to Spring Nationals.

Pls. Daichi is still on the gym floor, Tanaka now thinks he's going to jail, Suga KNOWS Daichi is fine but is still wondering "what if he IS dead", Ennoshita is not ready to handle these feral gremlins without Daichi, Hinata is worried about nationals, Yams and Asahi are just anxious balls of worrying about Daichi, Kageyama is just 🧍🏻‍♂️, Nishinoya thinks he's lost his bff, and Tsukishima is our unbothered king. Way to go, YN. You managed to make things worse in about 0.6 secs. Thank god for Kiyoko who manages to calm everyone down.

Forgot to mention Ukai slamming his head into a clipboard wondering why he agreed to deal with these troublesome crows

-Spooky anon 👻

Omg spooky anon 🤣 please I love this 🤣🤣

Ennoshita down there doing CPR trying to bring Deadchi back to life 😭

"Ennoshita stop Daichi's fine"- Suga

"You get threatened with dealing with this *points at Tanaka and Noya* and you tell ME not to panic"- Ennoshita

"Ok you right you right"- Suga

Asahi has probably fainted. Yachi and Yams are just panicking 🤣 please these are perfect!

pr stunts don't last years and years kids.//

Idc about holivia at all but I once heard many pr relationship contracts last for 3 years usually. But idc if that’s crap. I heard this about famous couples that promoted movies together and were put in a relationship for that (leading actors like once Ryan gosling and Rachel mc adams) I probably talk shit here haha but I swear I heard this 🫠 (this is not about Holivia, I do believe they are real)

where did you hear that pr relationships last 3 years? cause the only place i ever saw that was on a delusional kaylor blog who STILL thinks they're together and they have a secret baby (the baby karlie shows is ofc obviously a stunt baby in their eyes)

y'all grown hot rich adults with lives of their own don't stunt for more than a handful of months. haylor is the perfect example of a pr relationship. a few photo ops zip zap zoop and it was good to go. in MOST cases (particularly in this day and age, i'm not talking about the past here) no one is gonna spend literal years of their lives living/traveling/spending all their time together. maybe if they're beards or to cover something else darker up like micheal jackson did with his wives/relationships for example.

but perez hilton was just recently on fluently forward and he told her celebs might date each other and use that relationship to boost their profiles but most of the time when you see two celebs dating (and they're really going everywhere not just photo ops but like olivia is fully touring with harry rn for example or for a closeted relationship - look how becca tilley followed hayley kiyoko on tour while they were closeted aka "the bayley standard") they're usually just dating.

YES some of it is fake (benana - ana de armas and ben affleck is a good example of something i think was mostly fake recently and it was a heavy dose of pap walks for a handful of months and that's ab it) but a lot of the time hotties in the arts that work on projects together just WANNA FUCKKKK. if i've learned anything in this game it's that and that fandoms are too quick to label everything PR (which is fine and fun and i'm not gonna say boo about, but i'm simply not gonna do that)

actually this is a really good intro to the shawnmila episode of the pod that's dropping monday...

Haikyuu (2021/03/3)

Hinata paced around his room nervously. Tomorrow was the annual health exam at school.

It was humiliating, all the boys were gonna see how short he was, he'll never live it down. He was almost an adult for God's sake! He shouldn't look like he belongs in elementary school.

But there was nothing to do about, he couldn't make himself taller over night.

Hinata screamed into a pillow in frustration.

He'd just have to accept that he was going to die of embarrassment tomorrow.

~~~

The next morning had arrived so fast, Hinata wanted to stay in bed forever.

He thought about calling in sick, but then he wouldn't be able to play volleyball with the others, it wasn't worth worrying people for no reason anyways.

But still, he tried to walk as slowly as he could to the school anyways.

"Hey, Hinata." He turned and smiled at Yachi as she ran up to him.

She smiled shyly. "G-Good morning. Are you ready for the health exam?"

"Not really. How about you?" He chuckled.

Yachi looked down. "Um...no, not really. I just...it's hard not to compare myself to Kiyoko you know? She's tall, skinny...and has just, the ideal body." She blushed a little.

"Trust me, I get it." Hinata huffed. "Don't tell any of the guys, but I'm dreading this..."

"Why?" Yachi asked with a head tilt.

Hinata sighed. "Yachi, I'm like, the shortest guy around, it's humiliating."

"I like your height." Yachi insisted, trying to make him feel better.

Hinata smiled a little. "Thanks. Gotta go now, time for the dreadful exam." He huffed.

"You can get through it Hinata!" Yachi encouraged.

Hinata walked away and went into the school, going down the hall. But as he approached the door to the nurses office, he cringed a little and froze.

He couldn't do it. It was too lame. He was gonna be surrounded by all the tall boys in school with their strong builds and then he'd...he'd be...like a little kid compared to them.

Spinning on his heel, Hinata ran down the hall and left the main school building, heading for the gym instead. He just...needed a minute.

But as he approached the gym, he heard voices, making his eyes widen.

"Oh, we should get going soon, the health exam is gonna start." Asahi's gentle voice spoke from inside the gym.

Nishinoya laughed a little. "You go on ahead, I'll meet you there."

"Alright, see you Noya." Hinata hid as Asahi left the gym. When he was out of view, Hinata reluctantly went inside the gym.

Noya spotted him and beamed. "Hey Hinata, what are you doing here? The health exam's gonna start soon."

Hinata looked down. "...Noya-senpai...how do you do it?"

"Huh?" Noya tilted his head curiously.

"Go to the health exam with confidence I mean. The idea of going in that room and letting all the boys see my height it..." Hinata placed a hand on his stomach as he winced. "It makes me feel sick...it's embarrassing. But you're even shorter than me, yet you do it without a worry? How...how can I not worry about it?" He asked softly, looking down at the floor shamefully.

"I don't." His eyes widened. He looked up at Noya with shock.

Noya sighed a little, crouching down, he sat at the floor. "Come here." He patted the spot next to him. Hinata hesitantly sat down next to him. "Look, it sucks, we're so short and we can't do anything about it. People look at us and just laugh, they think we can't do anything because of our height, but we play volleyball and prove them wrong. If someone makes fun of you, do well in your next volleyball game and prove them wrong." Noya told him with a smile.

"You say that but...you don't know how hard it is...to feel this shame, to hate your height..." Hinata mumbled sadly.

Noya chuckled, wrapping an arm around Hinata's neck. "Wanna know a secret?" He asked softly.

Hinata looked at him curiously.

"During my first year of high school, I had a complete break down in the bathroom before the health exam. I was so scared and embarrassed and I didn't want anyone to see my height and point out how short I was next to everyone. But...Asahi encouraged me to go because it's important you know? They gotta make sure we're healthy, that's why we have health exams. What's more important? Making sure we're healthy? Or keeping our height a secret?" Noya smirked. "I mean, it's not like people don't already know we're short."

Hinata's eyes were wide. "You...You got embarrassed too?"

"Hell yeah, we look like we belong in middle school, of course it's embarrassing. But I'm not gonna let that stop me, I can't change my height, but I can at least stride through life with confidence about it." Noya told him with a smile.

"...You're so much cooler than me senpai!" Hinata choked out, wiping at his eyes vigorously.

Noya laughed. "Naturally. Now come on, we've got a health exam to deal with. Who cares what others think? We know we're cool, even if we're short." He grinned, standing up and pulling Hinata along with him.

Hinata smiled softly. "Thank you...Noya-senpai."

"Hey, that's what senpais are for." Noya beamed at him. The two headed for their health exam with confidence.

[HAIKYUU!!] Season 1 episode 25

Oh shit this is the final episode for this season, guessing its gonna be about the aftermath of the game

Right, they're highschool students, they still got like other classes and shit

OH SHIT, AOBA JOHSAI vs SHIRATORIZAWA, this was the rematch oikawa has wanted for so long

WAIT NO I WANNA WATCH THAT MATCH NOOO

Uhhh my guy, don't think that's what hinata wants to hear right now, that's like rubbing salt on a still fresh wound

IM SORRY WHAT DAICHI??? RETIRE?? EXCUSE ME??? SUGA SNAP SOME SENSE INTO YOUR HUSBAND

Mmm yeah hinata, you def need some more practice on certain parts of volleyball, you can't just be good at one thing and neglect the rest

NO KAGEYAMA GO TALK TO YOUR BOYFRIEND

Hhhh oh yama... Yeah listen to the adult guy (i dont know his name), it's like daichi said, if you don't try, how do you expect to do well?

BRUH that was kinda adorable, tsuki how can u be so cold to this bean?? Again, how are these two friends again HSKHSKS

Ohhh no, i see where this is going, the teach is gonna ask their club advisor (i still don't know this guys name) to convince the 3rd years to focus on college and shit. This... I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, i wanna side with the guys here, volleyball is their dream and all. But also, gotta look at it rationally, see the bigger picture, like, do they really plan to play volleyball as their career, or do they see themselves doing something different in the future, could their present skills flourish better if they pursue a different path? Things like that. On paper pursuing your passions sounds nice, but its actually not that good advice. You can't just rely on what you're passionate about to dictate you future career

Anyway, i got sidetracked, OMG DO WE ACTUALLY GET TO WATCH THE MATCH?? Aww nevermind

... is the dynamic duo skipping classes LMAO

Ohhh boy, here comes "The Talk"... Oh it was a lot less tense than i thought it was gonna be

The fact that neither of them are like yelling or getting angry at each other is just... Kinda weirding me out ngl

GEEZ TANGERINE WTF CALM DOWN JESUS CHRIST, tho then again you've been bottling up all that frustration, so... As long as nothing breaks i guess

Its kinda funny watching them running around like that lol

Great, finally worn themselves out, but how tf did they end up in those positions?? Like lmao hello???

DID KIYOKO WATCH THE WHOLE THING LMAO

Well good to see the other idiotic duo are still their weird selves

OMG THEY'RE STAYING YAY, hopefully they understand the consequences of that

DAMN that gotta hurt oikawa's pride

Karasuno better actually get to spring nationals cuz i swear i will riot

The coach called kageyama and hinata lovebirds, they didn't even fight him bout it, AND they had a slowmo shot together, how can i NOT ship these two

#sharing my brain juice #fandom talks #acessment #haikyuu!!

Cookie surprise

It was 8:00 in the morning. It had been a week since the penguins had moved in to Kiyoko. Still having no beds, the penguins were forced to sleep in the living room on the sofa. And today was no different. Four of the boys were sleeping peacefully in the living room on the couch leaning against the cushions or their friend sleeping next to them. They were awakened from their sleep by the pleasant smell of baking cookies. The first to be snapped out of his sleep was Rico, sniffing with his eyes closed, looking for the source of the smell.

-Private? Are you the ones baking pastries? -asked Skipper half asleep.

-That's not me Skippa - replied the youngster yawning and stretching.

The men slowly started to get up, stretching and yawning from time to time.

-Good morning, boys - a cheerful female voice greeted them from the kitchen.

The men climbed onto the top edge of the sofa. From the kitchen looked out Kiyoko with oven mitts on her hands.

-I hope I didn't wake you up. - she added with soft tone while checking in the oven to see if the cookies were done.

-Is it cookies? For us? - asked Private surprised.

-Well, yes. I'll be at work longer today and dinner will be later. But since you have been living here I decided to do something nice for you - answered Kiyoko with a slight smile.

The boys beamed after this information.

-That's very nice of you. Thank you. - said Kowalski getting off the sofa and walking towards the kitchen with gentle smile.

-Thanks! - added Rico also cherished by this information.

- Thank you Kiyoko. That's very sweet of you, - said Private, also heading towards the kitchen with the rest.

- Well, well, Goldilocks. You positively surprised me with your gesture. I only hope that these cakes aren't filled with arsenic. - Skipper joked.

-Nah. But they are with milk chocolate added. I hope no one is allergic to it.

- Easy on your head. Nobody here is allergic to anything. Well, except Kowalski. He is allergic to flowers - replied the head of the unit.

- To pollen. Not to flowers in general. There IS a difference - corrected the slightly annoyed strategist.

However, before the two penguins started to tease each other Kiyoko took out trays full of freshly baked cookies with chocolate chips.

- Careful, still warm.

She placed the trays on the table. The penguins jumped first onto the chairs and then onto the table and started to eating the cookies.

- And... how did they come out? - asked the girl somewhat uncertainly.

- These are... some of the best cookies I've ever had - commented Kowalski.

- Ya! - added Rico.

- You're going to be a pastry chef Kiyoko - commented the unit leader with a confident smile.

Proud of her work, the girl went upstairs to change clothes and get ready for work. After few minutes with her bag slung over her shoulder, the young adult went downstairs. Before leaving, she checked on boys. They continued munching cookies with smiles on their beaks.

- But save something for later! - laughed Kiyoko, then said goodbye to the squad

and left for work.

Rico was about to take another cookie when suddenly someone hit him lightly on the wing.

- She told us to save it for later," Skipper reprimanded him.

Private looked a little thoughtful, which the unit leader noticed.

- Skipper? How about we do something nice for her too? After all, she gave us a roof over our heads, took care of us. She even made cookies. - suggested the youngest.

- I think that's a good idea. Maybe you should already let go of being suspicious of her Skipper. She can already be considered a friend at this stage. - added Kowalski from himself.

- Ya! Kiyoko as a friend! - added Rico enthusiastically from himself.

Skipper sighed.

- Eh, all right. I still have my doubts, but returning the favour is the most

in the right place. So as much as possible I allow this idea. - said Skipper smiling slightly as he finished his sentence.

-Yes! - exulted the rest of the squad.

And so, gathered in a circle penguin unit began to think of ways to repay their new friend.
