🎉2k Celebration Headcanons🎉
Being Fukurodani’s Manager
⭐️ Manager Glow Up Edition ⭐️
Tumblr media
Fukurodani x gender neutral manager
Warnings: none
A/N: This was the winning team and scenario for the 2k celebration headcanons! I apologize for taking literally 7 years to get this out but please accept my apologies 🥺
What a team to have a glow up in 😅
Honestly you do know who the teams ace is right Yn?
You wouldn’t be trying to steal Bokuto’s thunder now would you be 👀
I mean, even if you were, you’ve earned the right YN
You are the teams precious baby manager 🥹
Literally the teams pride and joy
You are a second year just like Akaashi and boy are you loved
Literally these boys and girls do anything and everything to protect their precious YN
Konoha has said several times that no one is good enough to breath the air of THEIR YN
Now you never really paid much mind to these idiots
Because, well you were busy with other things
Bokuto…. Always Bokuto 🙄
Anyways what I’m getting at is that you deserve so much YN
And thankfully I, your fairy godmother, am here to give it to you 🧚🏻‍♀️
You see, summer break is coming up and while the boys are busy practicing, you are busy doing other things 👀
You ended up taking a two week vacation to visit family, much to the contest of the team
Bokuto 👉🏻 cried like he was never going to see you again 😭
Akaashi 👉🏻 *internally screaming*
Kaori and Yukie 👉🏻 sad because now they have to deal with Bokuto for 2 whole weeks
Saru and Konoha 👉🏻 trying to figure out how to get you to stay
Washio and Komi 👉🏻 apologizing because they know you desperately need and deserve a break
Nevertheless, you manage to escape and head on your two week vacay
Bokuto texts you the entire time telling you how he misses you
Akaashi takes Bokutos phone and apologizes to you profusely for bothering you 📱
However while you are away, some things change 👀
It seems our sweet little Yn has had a massive glow up while away and boy am I excited 🤩
Now you really don’t think you’ve changed that much but trust me, you have
You changed your hair, got some new clothes, found a magic elixir to clear your skin
Heck I think you might have even grown YN 😱
Don’t come for me, I swear you kids grow like weeds when you are teens!
Whatever the case, you’ve definitely changed YN!
And oh boy I’m excited to see our favorite little owls reactions 😍
When you showed up to practice you walked in and immediately went about your business
Washio and Konoha 👉🏻😐🤨
They have no clue who you are
“Hey Akaashi did we get a new manager?”Kumi says coming up behind Akaashi
“I’ve never seen that person before. Maybe they’re lost?” Onaga adds
Akaashi studies you while Yukie and Kaori approach
“Hey do you know who that is?” Komi asks as the girls who look in your direction
Just as they look, it registers with Akaashi
Like a literal slap in the face, his brain has awoken!
Too bad he realizes too late to stop the riot that’s about to incite 🙃
“Wait is that-?” Konoha says, studying you
“Holy crap, YN???” Saru yells as you turn your head and smile at the team
“Oh hey guys,” you say 🥰👋🏻
Rip to Fukurodani, you’ve served us well 🫡
“YN?? Is that really you??” Komi questions, slowly approaching you like you might not be real
“Umm yes, I think so???” You say confused
Please they have you wondering if it’s actually you 😭
Because like why are they acting this way
“You’ve changed,” Washio says bluntly
“Oh yeah, I guess I’ve changed a little but it’s only been two weeks guys,” you say, confused and secretly planning your escape to look the mirror
“Wow YN, you look…” Yukie starts to say
But unfortunately, she didn’t get to finish because a certain someone interrupted
You see, a very important person was missing from the newly revealed YN
“HEY HEY HEY everybody! YN comes back today!!!” Bokuto screeches as he throws open the doors to the gym
Everyone just waits in silence because they all wanna see his reaction
“Hey Bo! I missed you!” You sing as Bokuto stops, studying you from head to toe
“Who are you?” He asks 🤨
You 👉🏻😐
Well now you really need to look in a mirror
“Bokuto, it’s YN,” Akaashi says coming up next to you
Bokuto rn 👉🏻😐🤨
“That’s not YN Akaashi,” Bokuto says staring at you
“It’s really Yn Bokuto,” Komi says coming up next to you
You 👉🏻🙂
Bokuto 👉🏻😐😑
“Very funny guys, great joke. I think I’d recognize my second favorite person in the entire world” Bokuto says, laughing as he walks past you
Sorry Yn, spot #1 is reserved for Akaashi 💅
You sigh, knowing exactly what to say to Bokuto
“Whose the best ace in the entire world?” You say, mentally rolling your eyes that it’s come to this
Bokuto stops and turns 👀
“Everyone knows that,” he says as you stand there, again rolling your eyes
“You’re better than Ushiwaka because you beat Tsukki like a million times in 2 on 2,” you say as Akaashi smirks
Bokuto 👉🏻😐😱
“HOLY CRAP YN??” he screams as you turn and smile
“That’s what made you realize it was Yn?” Konoha asks
“Yn you look so good!! Wait- why did you change?? YN did you get a partner??” Bokuto says, deflation eminent
Akaashi 👉🏻👀 YN choose your words carefully please I BEG
“Bo, no! I just needed a little a change. I’ll admit I didn’t think I changed that much but I guess I did!” You say, beaming as the entire team swoons over you
Literally they didn’t think you could get any cuter 🥰
However what Fukurodani fails to realize is that your glow up would affect more than just them…
You see, with the training camp coming up at Shinzen, a whole new problem arises
And you see, these dummies don’t realize how much your glow up will affect literally every other team at the camp
It actually doesnt register until they arrive at camp and get off the bus
And it actually hits Konoha first
He’s helping you unload the bus all while the other teams stand around, staring at you
Konoha rn 👉🏻😐🤨😳
Crap crap CRAP
“Akaashi! AKAASHI!” he whisper yells as Akaashi turns to look at him
“Look!” He says pointing to the gaggling bunch of guys staring at their amazing manager
Akaashi 👉🏻😐😳
Please Akaashi knows you can handle yourself but he is still so protective of you
I mean, you are literally a key to Bokuto’s success and those an irreplaceable member of the Fukurodani team
You continue to unload the bus, oblivious to the men now fuming behind you
Akashi and Konoha are GLARING at the guys staring at you
Tanaka and Noya have nothing on these two petty bbys
When you finally turn around, you sense the tension
“Hey what’s going on?” You say as Komi quickly pulls you away stating he needs help with some ridiculous task
“Wow YN really… changed?” Kuroo says smirking
“Stay away from YN, Kuroo…” Akashi growls as Konoha backs him up
Kuroo throws his hands up, smirking as he walks away 😏
As the camp progresses, you notice a lot of the boys being extremely nice and helpful
“Hey Yn let me carry that for you!” Tanaka says as you smile
“Oh thank you! You are such a sweetheart!” You say as Tanaka gushes 😍
Meanwhile, Washio is standing behind you, glaring at the bald spiker
Please these guys are all so protective of their bby yn 🥺
But it doesn’t stop there
“Watch out Yn!” Someone screams as you turn to see a ball flying at your head
You duck before the ball is immediately snatched up by Ogano, Shinzen’s captain
“Oh Ogano, thank you!” You say as he smiles at you, extending his hand to you
“You ok YN?” He asks as he pulls you up, hand lingering in yours
Akaashi, Komi and Saru instantly see you but their eyes don’t go to you oh no no no
rather to a certain owl haired boy 👀
Bokuto is watching your interaction with Ogano, confused as to why the other captain is so attentive to you
Bokuto has noticed the other teams paying extra attention to you as well
At first, he thought it was because you were so helpful but that couldn’t be it because the other managers were just as helpful
By then he notices how Ogano’s hand lingers longer in yours 😳
Akaashi, Komi and Saru rn 👉🏻👀🍿
But before anything can happen, you simply thank Ogano and walk away
Bokuto shook his head, a little confused but still thinking about your interaction with the other captain as well as the looks given by the other teams
“YN come practice with me!” Bokuto cries as you roll your eyes
“Bo, I need to help everyone else!” You say
“Actually taking Bokuto would be a big help YN,” Konoha says
“See YN- hey wait a minute?!?” Bokuto glares are Konoha
You 👉🏻😐🙄 come on Idiot
“Hey wait up!” Kuroo said, following you
You turn, seeing the giant captain running towards you as you beam at him
“Kuroo would you like to join us?” You say as Kuroo smirks
“Of course, I would never turn down the company of someone so pretty,” he says winking at you
You blush profusely as Bokuto glares at Kuroo
Please Akaashi is RUNNING 🏃‍♂️ Ukai Style 👇🏻
Tumblr media
“Come on Yn! I’ll help you,” he says as he pulls you two towards the 3rd gym
Leaving Bokuto to GLARE daggers into Kuroo
During your practice, Tsukishima joins again, causing Bokuto even more grief
“Akaashi, have you noticed everyone staring at YN?” He finally asks
Akaashi knew this was coming but he’s cautious about how he answers it
“I mean, Bokuto haven’t you noticed?” Akaashi asks
Bokuto 👉🏻:D noticed what???
“Oh for gods sakes Bokuto, YN got like super hot!” Kuroo shouts, finally putting it out into the world for all the hear
Akaashi 👉🏻😐🤦🏻‍♂️
Kuroo 👉🏻😏
Tsukishima 👉🏻👀
You 👉🏻👁️👄👁️
Bokuto looks from you to Kuroo and back again
Then the lightbulb finally goes on
“OH MY GOD EVERYONE HAS BEEN HITTING ON YN!?!” he screams
“I mean do you really blame us Bokuto?” Kuroo asks
“WELL NO BUT STOP IT!” He shouts
“You want us to stop being nice to Yn? Sounds kind of mean Bokuto,” Kuroo says with a smirk
“THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT! AAAAKKKKAAAASSSHHHHHIIIIIII!” Bokuto screams as you sigh
“YN do me a favor please?” Akaashi asks before going to tame the untamable
“Sure Akaashi,” you respond sweetly
“Don’t have a glow up again until Bokuto graduates,” he says as you just nod
You 👉🏻🫡 aye aye captain

training camp evening breaks 🏐🌆
trying to get into the funk of playing around with colour palettes. I wanted to create something that felt more youthful and easy-spirited. of course I had to go with the training camp theme :)
obviously much to unpack here, ive got my headcanons posted on insta 😄 i just think that an inarizaki x itachiyama x fukurodani training camp would be 100% fun and chaotic

here have a medley of miscellaneous timeskip pro team headcanons bc WOW i haven't posted in a while and this is my only stress outlet other than binging new series <3333
starting off strong with ejp raijin LET'S GOOOOOO
washio 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼suna 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼komori: being EXHAUSTED from carrying the pro team world on their backs
no no i'm kidding. mostly
they keep a tally of other pro team matches in which their former teammates go up against each other and are REALLY smug if their respective teammate wins. which means you get shit like this
komori, cheerfully: "so how about that hornets v falcons game last night, huh?" suna: "oh shut UP tell iizuna tsukasa that aran-san could kick his ass any day of the week you little SHIT - "
they ARE united on the jackals front tho. all three of them want the adlers to go down HARD.
is suna nursing a grudge against ushijima from high school? yeah. is he ever going to get over it? probably not.
only komori feels bad bc he is fond of kageyama, but, hey, family's family
they ask washio why he hates the adlers and he looks them dead in the eyes and goes "hoshiumi kourai . . . he is a man that requires constant vigilance"
actually wait i know we all saw everyone watching and talking about the game (which makes me wanna cry SO bad) but god. how fucking funny would it be if players from monster gen convinced everyone else on their very professional and very mature teams to take sides
ejp raijin captain, who's been friends with hirugami fukurou for like ten years: "okay so explain to me again why we need to blow our entire team budget on jackals merch when we're not even going to the goddamn game?" komori: "well, it started on a cloudy but beautifully crisp spring day in 2012 - "
SPEAKING OF TACHIBANA RED FALCONS
hakuba joins the team, sees aran, and IMMEDIATELY starts texting the old kamomedai group chat
altho tbh i don't think there's no way that the "who-from-where-made-WHAT-pro-team" news never breaches the high school circuit. like come ON you know everyone's keeping up with the third year stars when they graduate
by the time the first years are third years they've got everyone pinned down on a fucking MAP. they have a shared file where they update each other on EVERYTHING. it's way less creepy than it sounds they're just a really passionate bunch okay!!!!
well that AND they can't help but brag about their amazing upperclassmen
okay sorry back to it. so it really goes more like
hakuba: "HOLY SHIT OJIRO ARAN FROM INARIZAKI IS HERE" suwa: "hakuba, we already knew that. i linked the article when it first dropped, remember?" hakuba: "yeah but it's still so WEIRD like it's OJIRO ARAN from INARIZAKI" hoshiumi: "lol atsumu told me he talks in his sleep, go find out if it's true"
aran actually does recognize hakuba mostly because gin paid him a compliment ONE (1) time and then aran had to listen to atsumu complain incessantly about the "stupid wall of muscle with stupid hair and his stupid height and stupid arms" ever since
ALSO. i think people get hakuba and hyakuzawa mixed up a lot. they've both got a similar height and build and hairstyle and play the same position
(not to mention the similar backstories)
it becomes a running joke throughout the pro leagues and makes for a fun time with falcons v warriors matches
in the event of a hyakuhina hookup (which i feel like actually could happen) they somehow get onto the topic of "haha it'd be even harder to tell them apart with your eyes closed!" and hinata, without thinking, goes "well, i probably could" and everyone is like "WHAT"
he digs himself an even deeper hole by saying "no, i just meant - i know hyakuzawa's body really well!!!" and everyone immediately starts screaming
poor hyakuzawa is dying on the inside
i think shibayama (MY BELOVED) kind of occasionally forgets that he also has his own fanbase and is sort of semi-famous as the libero of tokai heavy industries esperanza bc. he knows kenma and yaku and lev and komi and yamamoto and fukunaga and, in general, a bunch of people that he believes are much more well-known than he is
he's always so flattered whenever someone stops him in the street to ask for a pic or when he sees posts online gushing about him
this is extra funny bc he never talks about his friends like they're famous so all of his teammates don't really know that shibayama is friends with all these other famous people
and then one of them, an avid kodzuken fan, spams their group chat when kodzuken's newest video is released and shibayama shows up in it
they're like "SHIBAYAMA!! HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US THAT YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH KODZUKEN??" and shibayama is like "i have?? i talk about kenma-san all the time??" and they're like "YOU'RE TELLING ME KODZUKEN IS THE SAME KENMA-SAN WHO RIPPED HIS HIGH SCHOOL JERSEY TRYING TO JUMP OVER A FENCE???"
(shibayama's second year. they'd been dealing with things. it worked out, in the end. even if they had to lie to nekomata and naoki about why all their jerseys ended up with holes in them.)
i love the pro teams you guys they're so fucking funny

Senpai - Komori x reader
for the Haikyuu Request Game - requested by @alienaiver
Tumblr media
He heard the story, like everyone else.
That hotshot from Karasuno with the buzz head had managed to score the legendary beauty that was Karasuno’s third-year manager. 
Relationships between players and managers weren’t uncommon but as far as Komori knew, the girls were usually the ones that were younger.
But there he was, Tanaka Ryunosuke, the proof that exceptions confirm the rule.
If only Komori could have been as lucky, he thought, as you graduated and left the school.
-
He’s a first year and training camp is a terrible mix of consoling his cousin and trying not to fall behind.
He needs to prove his place on the court just as much as Kiyoomi but he needs to prove his place on the team a little bit more.
“Here, your water.” You smile as you hand out the bottles, golden sunlight casting a halo around you as you walk through the throng of people catching their breath.
He’s not been in love before, has merely fancied one girl over the other in Junior High.
But this, the rapid beating of his heart, the longing pull that starts behind his navel and steers him towards you, always towards you, this must be love.
-
“My girlfriend-” It’s not polite but Komori has learned to tone out Washio every time he starts a sentence like that.
“So, what do you think?” Washio’s grinning at him and Suna‘s smirking next to him like he knows exactly what’s going on but choosing to enjoy the show instead of helping.
“About what?” 
“What I just said.”
“I wasn’t li-” Komori interrupts himself by turning his head, still way too attuned to your sight. But could it really be?”
“Earth to Komori, are you listening?”
“You guys go ahead.” He grins and fears that it must look a little bit hysterical, “I just realized I urgently need a coffee before we watch that movie.”
“You’re right.” Suna’s voice drawls lazily as he eyes Komori, ever the instigator, “I’ll come with you.”
“No, no. I’ll get you one. I know what you drink anyway. Go on, go ahead.”
-
“Is he okay?” You ask when Sakusa hides in the corner yet again.
The worry is visible on your face, painting shadows where none have been before.
He’s seen you cheerful, has seen you determined, but never worried like this. It creates a strange feeling in his chest, pulling him apart in two very distinct directions.
He wants to see more of this, wants to explore all there is to explore, see all the colors of emotion you can be painted in.
And he wants you to be never worried at all. Wants the shadows to disappear until you’re bathed in nothing but light.
Your hand is warm on his elbow as the two of you look over at Kiyoomi.
His voice is thick as he speaks but for a different reason than you must assume.
“He’s not good with crowds.”
“What can we do to help?”
That’s how he knows that he’s lost to this feeling.
Because in all your struggles, helping others has always come first.
-
By the time he makes it into the coffee shop he’d seen you walk in, he fears you might have already left again.
But there you are, waiting for your drink, still as beautiful as you’d been years ago.
“Senpai?” 
Oh god, he shouldn’t have called out to you like this, your name would have been way better, right?
But you look up and he cantell you recogniz him, pleasant surprise washing over your face.
“Komori-kun!” You smile. “What a surprise!”
“I just saw you walk past and had to say hi.” He tells you, feeling surprisingly shy all over again. You’ve always had that effect on him.
“What are you doing? Can I buy you a coffee?”
You laugh, taking your cup from the barista just as he utters the words. 
“That’s very sweet of you. I was just out shopping but I have some time, we could sit down and chat a bit if you want?”
He nods eagerly, following you to a table.
“What have you been up to, Senpai?” He asks, too happy about the fact you’re willing to spend your free time with him to care about anything at all.
-
You’re giggling at the back of the bus, heads stuck together over a movie playing on his phone. Kiyoomi is sleeping next to them, his curled-up body the reason you’d come back in the first place.
Talking to you has always been easy, the only Senpai he’s allowed to call by first name.
He wonders if you know how he feels about you. If it’s as visible on his face as it is on the inside.
Second-year just started and he’s already dreading the end of it, having to go through another year without you by their side. By his side.
He knows so much about you now, has learned so much in one year of knowing you yet feels like he doesn’t know enough.
He knows why you decided to become a manager instead of a member of the Girls Volleyball Club but he doesn’t know how you feel when you watch them instead of playing yourself.
He knows you’re struggling with a chronic illness you’re still not fully grasping the extent of but he doesn’t know how you feel about it on your good days, on your bad days, on the days that fall in the middle of it all.
He knows that you love their team but he doesn’t know how you feel about him, just that he’s younger than you, will always be younger than you and all girls in his class are looking at the older guys instead, never the other way around.
-
“Oh no, I should get going.” You look at your watch with a frown on your face. “I totally lost track of the time.”
“Oh, we should, I mean, we could…” Komori’s stumbling over his words now, “I’d like to do that again. If you want, I mean.”
You smile politely. “It was very nice, but I don’t go out for coffee often.”
Komori’s thinking of Tanaka, of the rare exceptions proving the rule, and he takes his heart into his mouth.
“What about a date?”
“Huh?” You look surprised, but not in a negative way, and he soldiers on.
“I’ve been interested in you ever since you were a manager for us but I was too shy to confess to you back then. But we’re older now and we’re both single and I’d like to take you out on a date. Only if you’re comfortable with it, though. I don’t want to pressure you, Senpai.”
Your face had been open and curious up until his last word, your brows furrowing at the formal term. Komori knows when he’s fucking up and this seems to be the moment for him.
“Or you can take your time and think about it first,” he tries to save what he can. “I can give you my number.”
There’s a moment of stillness between the two of you, as if even the world is holding its breath to wait for your answer.
“Yes, that would be okay.”
His hand’s shaking as he scribbles down his number, his heart in his throat.
He’d never thought he’d get the chance to confess to you, not after you graduated.
But as you leave he can’t help the thought that this isn’t going to work out.
He’s just not Tanaka.
He’s not the exception.
-
It’s custom to hand your second button to the person you like the most on the day of your graduation.
But by the time he graduates you’re no longer a student at their school.
He plucks the button from his jacket the minute he steps out of the house, pushing it into his bag until it’s somewhere hidden between his books. He hopes that it will be out of sight and out of mind but he cannot stop thinking about it.
Not when Kiyoomi throws him a knowing look.
Not when seemingly everyone passing them wonders aloud who had gotten his second button first.
And it’s not that no one asks for the button.
It’s the fact that he’s learned what he wants and even if there might be another person out there for him, someone like you but not like you, they’re not at school with him today.
-
One day, two days, three days pass without a word from you.
Komori should have known.
“You seem down, man.” Washio blocks the door of the changing room, worry in his eyes.
“Yeah, you were so happy after you ditched us at the movies, what happened?” Suna’s trying to act as cool as ever but the fact that he’s staying behind with Washio tells Komori that his teammate is worried.
“‘s nothing guys.” He tries to deflect but Washio’s not stepping aside.
“Spill.”
And maybe it’s the fact that these boys have not been on a team with him in High school, have never met you before or known his awkward self trying to hide his crush, but as soon as the first words fall from his lips he can’t stop talking, pouring it all out.
“Damn.” Washio huffs out when he ends while Suna’s on his phone again, chewing on his lip as he types.
“That’s her?” He turns his phone to your instagram profile. It’s a picture of you smiling at the beach, volleyball  tucked under your arm. 
“Yeah.” Komori mumbles, worried for whatever Suna might say next. But he just pockets his phone and claps one hand on his shoulder, pressing the firm muscle as if to tell him, without words, that he knows exactly what he’s feeling right now.
At least he’s not going through this alone.
-.-.-.-
“My name is Komori Motoya. I played Libero at the Dōshō Junior High. I look forward to playing with you. Please take care of me.” He bows with the other boys but none of them stick out to you like he does.
It’s not that he’s got talent. Because Sakusa does too.
It’s not that he’s tall. Because Sakusa is taller.
It’s not even the fact that he’s cute. Because Tsukasa might be cuter.
You can’t tell what it is, but you can point out when it shows.
In the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles or his mouth curls when he thinks.
In the way he manages to make everyone open up - even you - and never seems to get tired of listening to his cousin's rants. 
You know he has a great future ahead and you wish him the best of luck, hoping against all common sense that your future might intertwine.
Sufferers of chronic illnesses and future sports stars rarely have many things in common.
At least you’ve had High School.
-
One hour. Two hours. Three hours.
You can’t take it anymore, phone pressed against your ear as you wait for the call to be picked up.
You don’t wait for your best friend to properly greet you before the words spill from your lips like the surge of waves.
“Do you remember Komori?”
“Komori?”
“Komori Motoya? Libero? Second Year? Do you remember him?”
“Please, I’d never forget that tall bean pole of sweetness. You had such a crush on him, it was insane. What made you think of him?”
Your chewing on your nails now, a trait you thought you’d gotten over.
“I met him today. We-we had a coffee together.”
“Oh, that’s cute.”
“CUTE?” You huff and apologize for your outbreak instantly, pacing your room now in another futile attempt to calm yourself down.
“He confessed to me. I don’t know what to do!”
“What do you mean? You say yes, of course.”
“But- What about never dating younger guys?”
“Please. you’re both grown ups now, that’s different. But tell me all the details first, I have to live through you, remember?”
-
“Here, take my jacket.” Komori’s jersey jacket envelopes you like a blanket, still warm from his own body heat. It smells like him too, a little bit sweet and a little bit citrusy.
You try not to dip your nose into it and fail but he’s not noticing it, eyes ahead as you walk, his hand a steadying presence on your back.
“I can gather the things myself.” You remind him. “Surely you need the rest after training.”
“It’s okay.” He smiles down at you and your steps falter the slightest bit, your heart betraying you by jumping at the familiar sight. “You would have to walk multiple times and with me we can get this done in one.”
And you think that’s it. That he’s just helpful like he always is. But he always, always cuts into your resolve with his words and his smile. Always, always makes you think that maybe, just maybe, you should give in.
“Besides. I like spending time with you.”
His hand brushes yours as you walk and you wonder what would happen if you just took it, felt the warmth of his pulse under your fingers, allowed yourself to be loved by him.
But your future is still dangling in front of you with its fangs revealed. The future is scary and unsure of many things but tests and doctors telling you all the things you won’t be able to do.
Love is often a fickle thing. 
You’d rather look back knowing you could have had him than look back and know that you lost him.
-
You give yourself 24 hours to think this over before you text him. 
At 23 hours and thirty minutes you decide that enough is enough and send him the text you’d spent thirty minutes revising with your friend yesterday.
There’s no answer.
No read sign, no dancing dots. 
You tell yourself that he’s probably still training and force yourself to put your phone away.
Two days pass until your phone vibrates with a message you’d almost given up on.
But as you open the text, you freeze in your spot.
“I’m sorry, you must have the wrong number. My name’s not Komori.”
He’d given you a wrong number.
But he’d sounded so certain, so honest…
-
“Never have I ever broken a bone.” He teases, eyes sparkling as he watches you take a sip of your soda.
The rest of the team is sprinkled across the restaurant, Sakusa just a few seats over talking with your first-year manager about the importance of sanitizing the volleyballs properly.
She’s clearly infatuated with him and he’s clearly oblivious to it.
“Never have I ever broken my word.” You test him and his mouth curls as he thinks before shaking his head.
You shouldn’t look too closely at his lips, shouldn’t think too much about his eyes, but the end of the school year is nearing, graduation looming over you and the sight of his face is the only thing keeping you sane some days.
-
Two days.
Two days you spend doubting yourself, your perception of him.
On Monday you give in to the quiet voice mumbling in the back of your brain, reminding you of hours spent in the gym with him, laughing at his jokes, marveling at how easy comforting others comes to him.
He’s a good guy, always has been.
You think of his shy smile as you type the numbers you’d googled earlier, think of him blushing as you listen to the ringing on the other side.
“EJP Raijin management, Nishida Sadao speaking, how can I help you?”
“Hello Nishida-san, I am calling today with an unusual request but I hope you can help me…”
-
You cry on your graduation day.
Most people cry on their graduation day. 
Some of them shed happy tears, and some of them get their heart broken.
You wonder if you’re the first to break your own heart.
When will the time come when you can trust your decisions?
When will the time come when you can allow yourself to live?
You tell yourself that you will find someone else. Someone like him but not like him.
-
You’re still wearing your office attire, well aware of how out of place you’re looking as the doors open and one athlete after the other leaves the gym, throwing you curious glances.
Every time you hear the creaking sound of the door opening, you stand up a little straighter, fight the nervous fidgeting of your hands and the urge to chew on your nails again.
This time, a dark-haired man steps out, golden eyes landing on you just like with everyone else before. But while everyone else had looked away again, trying to seem polite, his eyes widened in surprise and he let out something that sounded like a string of curse words before he slipped back inside.
A second later, the door opens again, this time to Komori who’s looking at someone behind him.
“Suna, what are you doing? What do you me-” He stops when he sees you, blood rushing to his face in a blush so vivid you’ve never seen before.
“Hi.” You speak first when he seems unable to open his mouth.
“I tried texting you.” You soldier on this time, tongue dry in your mouth, heart hammering in your chest. “But I got the wrong number. At first, I thought it might have been on purpose…”
“It wasn’t.” He bursts out, blushing even more as he stammers. “I must have… I didn’t… I meant.”
You lift the bag in your arms, a thermos peaking out of the top. “Do you want to go for coffee?” You ask, well aware that it’s well past 6 p.m.
But his eyes glitter as he steps closer, just like they did in High School when you handed him his water bottle.
“Are you sure?” He asks and you know exactly how he feels.
You nod, a smile pulling at your lips.
“After all, you still owe me your second button.”
-
Love comes to those who grasp it.
Love comes to those who are patient, trusting that when it appears once it will appear twice.
Love comes to those who know that right person wrong time is not the end of it all.
After all, time isn’t linear.
It overlaps like the petals of a rose.
-
Liberos are usually the shortest player on the team. Komori isn’t.
Managers usually fall in love with the older players. You didn’t.
How lucky to be the exception to confirm the rule.
But, as Suna thinks to himself, watching the two of you leave that night, there might not be a rule to this at all.
And if there is no rhyme and rule to this game, he might still have a chance.

Being EJP Raijin’s Manager
Suna’s Crush
Tumblr media
Rintaro Suna (featuring EJP) x GN! manager
Warnings: fluff!
AN: this is a request from @kitakashi! Also let’s talk about how freaking 😮‍💨🥵 timeskip Suna is ok 🤚🏻
Ok you are definitely one of the lucky ones YN
I mean, EJP Raijin?!?
Have you SEEN their lineup…
Washio from Fukurodani, Komori from Itachiyama and Suna from Inarizaki???
Like are we being fr right now because 😮‍💨
Anyways, you someone how managed to score this literal dream job
And boy are we all jealous!
I want to say EJP is probably a lot calmer than MSBY and even the Adlers
They give stoic yet sensible vibes
And please, they are absolutely a stellar team!
Middle blocking is dominated by Washio and Suna and Komori handles receives
Defense specialists 👏🏻
Nekoma who? We don’t know them 💅
Anyways your job as manager is exciting and fun
The guys all respect you, helping you out as much as they can
Please Komori and Washio drink respect juice every morning
Washio helps you set up the net while Komori helps you collect volleyballs at the end of practice
But there’s one player in particular who is really attached to you 👀
Yep that’s right! Our precious love Suna Rin
Now Suna doesn’t attach himself to just anyone, oh no
He remains mostly aloof, unbothered by most people and things
But there’s just something about their dear manager that draws him in
Maybe it’s the fact that you let him nap on you 🧐
Or maybe it’s because you make the best bento boxes?
Nah it’s definitely because you add the perfect ratio of protein powder to the teams shakes
Or maybe 👀 just maybe it’s because the man is utterly infatuated with you
Oh that’s definitely it 😏
Suna always volunteers to walk you to the train station and even meets you every morning for coffee
This is strange to the team because before you started, Suna was always the last one to arrive for practice
Heck Komori often had the job of getting Suna TO practice
But not anymore, oh no our precious YN has obliterated any need for that 💅
I bet your thinking “there’s no way EJP hasn’t noticed this change” and you would be correct
Because they most definitely did
But unlike our other feral div. 1 teams, EJP isn’t as dramatic
Or at least, that’s what they’d like you to think 👀
They simply by their time, waiting for the right moment to pounce
Now that doesn’t mean they don’t bait Suna
For instance, you often come up in locker room discussion
“You know, YN is really the best manager. They just do such a great job at everything,” Washio gushes
Suna 👉🏻😐
“And they are super hot! Like wow level hot! Like ‘dang this person actually exists outside of a book’ hot!” Komori says
Suna 👉🏻😐😑
“Honestly I’m surprised Yn is single, it’s not like they don’t get fair share of looks. Sometimes I think they get more attention than we do after the game!” Washio adds
Suna 👉🏻😑😠
“For real! Plus have you seen the number of times they’ve gotten asked out? YN showed me their dms and like it’s insane!” Komori says
Suddenly, a locker slams shut as Suna stomps out from the locker room
Komori and Washio 👉🏻😐😏 got ‘em
Suna knows your popular and it drives him insane!
He’s been wanting to ask you out for a while but he doesn’t want to ruin your friendship or professional relationship
Because you see, Suna actually thinks about things outside of his own feelings
Unlike SOME people
*cough* ATSUMUBOKUTOHINATA *cough*
But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get jealous
It honestly annoys Komori and Washio that he hasn’t asked you out
Because you see, it’s also obvious to them that YOU like Suna as well
They see how you stare at him and how you smile when he’s around
How you desire to be close to him 🥰
Everyday that passes, they get more and more annoyed that neither of you will make a move
But you see, that’s all about to change
And not because Komori or Washio snaps
Oh no, because the universe has their backs and is sick of this mutual pinning
🙌🏻 picture this 🙌🏻
It’s finally game day and EJP is facing our favs MSBY
😏 you know where I’m going…
And because MSBY isn’t allowed to have a manager yet because they are too feral and might bite, they must simply be satisfied with looking at You
But oh no, that’s not good enough for them
Because our little jackals get so jealous of pretty managers
Especially ones as pretty as you 🥺
So when Atsumu is staring at you a little longer than he should and Suna notices, glaring at his former teammate
Komori and Washio also notice 👀
And ever the opportunist they pounce!
“Hey Yn why don’t you see if the Jackals need help? I mean we’ve got it over here,” Komori suggests
“That’s a great idea Motoya!” You : D
Suna 👉🏻 yeah great idea MOTOYA 😡
You skip over to MSBY as Atsumu continues to stare at you
You smile and laugh with the team as Suna stands there, hands clenched and fuming
“Suna you good man? You look tense?” Washio questions 😏
“I’m fine!” Suna growls out as he turns and stomps away
When the game starts, Suna is on FIRE 🔥
Literally, the wall of Suna
MSBY is struggling hard to score today because Suna is just that on point
When Atsumu attempts a setter dump, Suna shovels it right back in his face scoring a point for EJP
Komori and Washio are standing there like 😌😌
Please they are so satisfied right now
After the game which was dominated by EJP, Atsumu decides he’s going to make the most of this opportunity and ask you out
“Hey YN, I was wondering if you’d like to go out tonight. I could use some consoling,” he says, a sad look on his face
Suddenly a looming presence enters engulfs you
You stiffen, feeling someone behind you as you turn to see Suna literally FUMING 😡
Quick Yn deal with this!
Komori and Washio 👉🏻👀🍿
MSBY 👉🏻 🧍‍♂️👁️👄👁️
“Umm I’m sorry Atsumu but I actually like someone already,” you say as Suna continues to loom
“Oh, yeah no problem-” Atsumu responds, slowly backing away
He has some self-preservation skills ok
You turn to Suna as he continues to glare at Atsumu
Suddenly, he feels lips press to his cheek as he immediately melts
Suna 👉🏻😡😐😳☺️
“YN I like you alot! Would you please go out with me?” He asks as you nodd
“I’ve been waiting for you to ask! Of course I will!” You gush as you hug him, sweat and all
Don’t worry Yn, Komori is totally filming this for you and Suna to watch later 🥰
