thinking about how iwa and oikawa grew up playfully wrestling and fighting each other as an excuse to touch the other

iwaizumi calling akashi pretty boy in front of oikawa once just to watch oikawa's entire world crumble before his eyes. he caves and says sorry after oikawa refuses to even look at him for a whole day

old iwaois but happy boop day- i mean iwaoi day!! 🫶💖💖

April fools? Easter monday? No. Iwaoi day!!

Drop the gun and use a knife

Summary:

He leaned in to make himself heard, blowing some smoke into the man’s face. “Are you here to kill someone?” he asked with an amused glint in his eyes, and still the expression on Iwaizumi’s face didn’t change. He took the cigarette though, and stuck it between his lips with enviable calm. “No,” he said loud enough for Oikawa to hear, and then he lit the cigarette just as calmly. Oikawa examined him carefully, and at that point without any hesitation he placed a hand on the man’s thigh. He was satisfied when he didn’t object, and his smile widened. “So, you’re here for something else.”

Oikawa is the son of the boss of Aoba Johsai, a Yakuza syndicate. Eager to put an end to his father's life, he pays Iwaizumi, an assassin for hire. What he doesn't expect to discover is that Iwaizumi is much more than a cold-blooded killer with only an interest in money.

Iwaoi Childhood ✏

This is so them!

haikyuu ships but its things about their relationships or moments that I think would surprise their friends/teammates

starting off with my boys Daisuga: honestly definitely the rest of the team forgets that they haven't been together forever, and are never expecting when either of them are acting like, well, teenagers in a relationship. Specifically in regards to being shy in front of each other or wanting to impress each other, the rest of the team always is surprised by it because in their mind, like, why are you feeling insecure in this relationship I thought you've been dating for 2 years and Suga is just like "try 3 months BITCH now I need you to find out what his favourite kind of chocolate is I'll pay you real money if he doesnt realize why you're asking."

right along to Kagehina and honestly, literally even just realizing they have a normal relationship. I think everyone absolutely understands how they got together, but I imagine the first time ANYONE sees them out in public together they ALL have a moment thats like "oh shit they like... are actually dating" and every time Kagehina is just like... on a lunch date, or going shopping, walking a dog, just chatting. Like people are surprised that they genuinely spend time together outside of sports. The first time Kageyama goes with Hinata as his date to a family wedding the entire family is flabberghasted bc they definitely thought this was an on-court obsession only

Iwaoi is really simple, literally just people realizing that Iwaizumi has genuine romantic affection towards him is the funniest thing to me. There's a week where Iwaoi is worried bc Iwa had to go to school with a hickey on his neck but literally NOBODY bats an eye or even mentions it because "yeah Oikawa obviously-" but when theyre changing for practice and they see that Oikawa has a hickey on his neck the entire team goes feral and practically tackles Iwaizumi like "you committed to kissing him for that long?????? YOU?????" like they cannot comprehend Iwaizumi actively participating. (obviously this is also the only time they every see Iwazumi embarassed enough to visibly blush which only compounds things.)

Bokuaka's is so stupid but honestly - the first moment the team realizes that Akaashi is, like, attracted to Bokuto and isnt just his best friend that got carried away. Konoha catches Akaashi checking out Bokuto's ass as he's leaving the changing room and it legitimately ruins Konoha's day. What is he supposed to do with this information.

To be completely fair, Ushiten as a concept probably absolutely baffles the entire Shiratorizawa team for multiple reasons. I think though the obvious one is that the rest of the team cannot understand how little Ushijima is bothered by any of Tendou's antics, where Tendou is VRRY touchy and goofy and lots of PDA and affection and Ushijima is completely receptive and unbothered by it, if not going out of his way to intentionally make Tendou laugh to invite him to more. Like Tendou absolutely would sit on his lap during lunch and Reon would be sitting there losing his mind bc last time he sat too close to Ushijima he got a lecture on personal space. Oh, but now suddenly he's super chill and relaxed and nothing bothers him its tendou doing it.

Asanoya's is a little sad tbh but I think, specifically the second and first years, would be surprised by how serious Noya is about the relationship and how little he tolerates jokes about them being opposites/a surprising pair or any of that. Like theyre shocked to find out how seriously he's taking being a boyfriend and really trying to make sure Asahi is happy. The idea that it isnt superficial or just for fun for him is surprising to them.

Arankita - in a comedy of errors Atsumu accidentally finds out they they are ~no longer virgins~ and legitimately has to leave practice for 20 minutes. There's a piece of him, and the rest of the team, that had 100% believed Kita was a robot and they just.... the idea that this was something that happened organically and not for "procreation" doesnt fit in their worldview. Kita smacks the next person who brings it up and that ends the conversation.

Iwaizumi: My husband and I have agreed to never go to bed angry at each other.

Iwaizumi: We’ve been awake since Friday.

Oikawa: WELL IF SOMEONE WOULD JUST ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG-
