Turning Heads (a Haikyuu fanfic by hoperenae)

PREVIOUS — SERIES MASTERLIST — NEXT

PART 9- The Park

I spotted them right away, not that it was difficult. They were on the sand volleyball court, hitting a ball back and forth. Oikawa’s nephew was easily a third as tall as his uncle, but he carried himself like he was ten feet tall. Confidence must run in the family.

“Yo-hoo!” Oikawa called out with a wave as I approached.

“Hey guys!” I waved back. Takeru gave me a wary glance. I had a lot of younger cousins, so I was pretty good with kids. I hoped that was the case with this kid too.

“Arya-san, this is my nephew Takeru.” He gestured to the boy next to him with a shaved haircut and skeptical eyes.

“Hey dude,” I said to him with a smile. “You play volleyball too?” His face softened a bit and he smiled.

“I’m the best in my league,” he said proudly, puffing out his chest.

“Of course you are,” I laughed. “Well, are we gonna play or what?”

Oikawa grinned at me. Takeru raced to grab the ball and took his place on one side of the net.

“Boys vs girls!” the kid hollered with a cunning smile.

“Hey now, that doesn’t seem very fair.” I pretended to pout.

“Afraid you’ll lose?” Takeru challenged. I guess cockiness ran in the family too.

“Oh no, I mean it’s not fair for you guys,” I retorted. He frowned, and Oikawa cackled and joined his nephew on the court. I took my place on the other side.

We played a game Takeru played at his volleyball club called “keepie uppie” which just meant we had to see how long we could keep the ball in the air hitting it back and forth. Whoever messed up and dropped it first was the loser. If the opposite side hit it in a spot that was way out of your reach, you got a point. It was strangely relaxing, even though I had to do a fair bit of running back and forth to keep up on my own. It was a nice change of pace from my usual practices.

When we finally decided to call it quits (I was the proud winner, obviously), Oikawa bought us all ice cream and we sat at a picnic table and ate, the two of us on one side and Takeru on the other. The boy was concentrating very hard on licking his ice cream into a perfect spherical shape, so I doubted he noticed when Oikawa placed his hand on my knee and gave it a squeeze. I smiled and leaned my head on his shoulder for a second before returning to my ice cream.

“Arya?” a voice called from behind me. I turned around to find Kageyama walking towards us in his running gear. When Oikawa turned around, they both frowned as they made eye contact with each other.

“If it isn’t my dear junior, Tobio-chan,” Oikawa said with a pained smile.

“Hey Kageyama,” I waved. Behind me, Takeru was enjoying his ice cream but glancing tentatively at us.

“What’re you doing here?” Kageyama asked, arms folded across his chest.

“We’re on a date,” Oikawa said, putting his arm around me and pulling me closer. I gave him a sideways glance, unsure why he was acting so strange and defensive.

“You on a run?” I asked.

“I was just about to loop back home when I saw you.” He tugged at the collar of his t-shirt, letting air flow to his torso.

“Well don’t let us keep you. Run along now.” Oikawa waved his hand dismissively.

Kageyama’s brow creased. “See you at practice, Arya,” he said as he gave Oikawa one last pointed glare before jogging away.

“What was that all about?” I asked when Kageyama was out of earshot.

“Oh uncle Toruu haaaaates that guy,” Takeru chimed in between licks.

“Do not,” Oikawa defended.

“Do too,” Takeru fired back. Oikawa stuck out his lip and pouted, as if he was the eight year old instead.

“Why do you hate him?” I asked, deciding to believe the accusations of the child.

“Look, it’s not that I hate him,” he began; I raised my eyebrows. “Ok, maybe I do hate him. But it’s only because he thinks he’s the best. Back in junior high, he was always trying to be better than me, always trying to learn my techniques so he could surpass me. But I’m the best setter.”

“Did you ever consider the fact that maybe he thought you were awesome and looked up to you?“ I prodded.

“W-well, still,” he stammered, “there’s a reason why they call him the King of the Court. He’s self-centered and conceited and arrogant.”

“Are we even talking about the same person?” I asked. “Look, maybe he was all that stuff at one point, but he’s different now. He has a team that has his back no matter what. Besides, he’s my friend, so I’d appreciate it if you could get along or at least not say such mean things about him around me.” I huffed out a defiant breath.

“Ooooo,” Takeru muttered under his breath before chomping down on his cone, crumbs littering the table. His uncle glared at him.

“I make no promises,” Oikawa said with his nose turned up.

“You’re so dramatic.” I rolled my eyes. In the back of my mind, I couldn’t stop the uneasy feeling from creeping its way out. Aside from our dates and playing against each other for half a match, I didn’t really know what Oikawa was like around other people.

That being said, I wasn’t a fan of the way he spoke to (and about) Kageyama. My teammates were some of my closest friends, and he already knew that. I just had to hope he could put the feud behind him for my sake, or else we would have a serious problem on our hands.

Dear Whovever: [Kenma]

Synopsis: You and Kenma are both best friends and youtube gamers however you want to be more than just best friends so you decide to ‘man up’ one day and write a heart felt confession in a minecraft notebook before then putting it in Kenma’s personal chest.

WC: 3K

TW: slight swearing :)

[Episode one]

[recording in 3… 2… 1… start!]

“Hey gamers, Kodzuken here with Tulip-but-make-it-yellow! I've done a few Minecraft videos with Tulip before, but thought I'll start a new series that will be posted every Monday.”

“It's called Minedays with Tulip and Kodzu”

“I- no, Tulip. I'm not sure what we’re gonna call it. But you guys will know- obviously since it's the title of this video.”

You whine and pout into the monitor, “Kodzu I think Minedays is a cute name.”

Instead of replying Kenma rolls his eyes and hits you ingame. “Should we introduce the challenge and get it started?”

“Yeah that's a good idea!”

“Well, it's about eleven am right now, we have until eleven pm to build a Minecraft house from a random topic,” he pauses and moves to the side to point to a sectioned spinwheel, “on this bad boy,” whacks the spinner, “we have eight different themes, in a sec I’ll spin it and whatever it lands on will be what we have to build.”

You let out a high pitched ‘hmm,’ “I feel bad for Kuroo and Hinata, they’re both going to have to edit twelve hours of footage down to 10 minutes!”

Kenma chuckles, “fifteen minutes actually.”

This time you roll your eyes. “Hurry up and spin it you fool! I want to get buildinggg”

Smiling, Kenma moves back a bit and spins the wheel, after thirty seconds full of anticipation the wheel finally stops and its small arrow is pointing at- “Yes! Cottage core theme!” you yell out while Kenma groans.

“Really? That's lame why couldn't we have ‘Lucifer’s Bedroom’?”

You poke your tongue out to the monitor - which Kenma could see, after all, you are in a Discord call with him. “Don't be sad just because you're prancing in my turf…. Looooooser!”

Kenma playfully glares towards you, “You’re on! See you in twelve hours!”

Unfortunately, the difficulty of building a cottage core house in the woods - in survival mode, proved more difficult than planned.

“We spawned in a desolate area huh? Barely any flowers!” you hear Kenma make a sound of agreement as you sink into your comfortable ‘gamer’ styled chair.

“Don't tell me you've given up? Just because you can't find any flowers?”

You scowl at his cocky tone however your mood does a one-eighty when you suddenly get a good idea. “Ok everyone! I know what I have to do! I'm going to restart in another place because this isn’t working!”

Kenma makes a sound of surprise, “you're restarting? It's been an hour already-”

“Yeah and we have, like... eleven more.” Kenma sighs in response, “better get a move on.”

For the most part, the two of you kept quiet - not wanting to let the other know how well you were doing. However one look at your phone only to see that your twitter has blown up, you decide to take a short break, after all it has been four hours of you sitting on your ass playing Minecraft. Once you open Twitter you're met with a barrage of tags and mentions - all of which screaming ‘KenYn’ and ‘Kodzutulip.’ You felt heat rise to your face, you - yes you, Ln Yn with the online alias Tulip-but-make-it-yellow, has a big, fat, humongous crush on your best friend and fellow youtuber - Kenma, aka Kodzuken aka the cutest guy in the world. To make it worse - or better, you couldn't really tell, was that many of your viewers shipped you with him - as did his viewers.

You are of course, happy with this but you can’t help but wonder if Kenma feels the same way, does he feel weirded out by all this shipping content? Does he find it uncomfortable? Does he find it unsettling to be shipped with his in-real-life best friend?

“Hey Yn?” Kenma calls softly, “you've been looking at your phone for the past ten minutes and your face looks sad.”

You instantly look up to meet Kenma’s face and try to find the right words to say, “I… I’m just kinda tired and eventually got distracted!! Sorry Kenken!”

Kenma visibly cringes at the old nickname - the one you gave him in primary school, “if you say so… better get your head in the game though - my mansion looks epic.”

Your eyes narrow, “mansion? The theme is cottage core!” Kenma quietly chuckles in response, “a mansion can still have a fairy aesthetic, you should know that”

You huff in faux annoyance as you place your phone away and ‘get your head in the game’ just as he requested. “Be prepared to be crushed! I am the cottage core guardian!”

There are ten minutes left to your’s and Kenma’s excruciatingly long Minecraft challenge, your ass hurts from sitting on it for almost twelve straight hours - including bathroom breaks. When the buzzer rings the two of you step back from your respective buildings and make your way to the starting point - which had been marked by a stack of 20 or so dirt blocks.

“Well that was twelve hours of eye straining torture,” you say as you stretch your arms.

“You're tired already?”

“Kinda… I can't wait to go to sleep after this.”

“Weak, I’m playing Battlefield as soon as this is over.”

You roll your eyes and scoff, “this is why you look like a living corpse in the morning…”

Kenma looks you dead in the eyes and with a completely serious face he says, “yeah but you love it.”

You choke on your spit at his boldness, “y-yeah I guess.”

If you were being honest, you were not the best at reading people and it was dark in Kenma’s gaming room, the only light coming from his three screen/monitor computer setup, but you think you see a light blush creep up to his cheeks. And you hate it, you hate when he says things that make your heart flutter, you hate it when he just sits there and the digital glow accentuates all of his delicate features, but what you hate most is yourself. You hate yourself because you have fallen in love with your best friend, you hate yourself because you know he doesn't like you back and you hate that you continuously give yourself a sense of false hope.

“Yn… you want to stay up and game with me don’t you? ”

You sheepishly look to the side, ‘mayhaps.’

Kenma sighs looking at you with a soft face as he whispers “then I won’t play Battlefield and I’ll go to bed and so will you, ‘kay?”

You smile tiredly at him, “sounds like a deal.”

“We'll get back on at the same time tomorrow and we’ll do the final part of this video - the reveal. Until then.”

You smile and wave at the camera “cya soon~”

[recording over]

After your call with Kenma ended you got ready for bed but for some reason, no matter how tired you were, you just couldn't fall asleep - your mind was screaming obscene ideas that you couldn't help but contemplate. At first it was just wishful thinking but then came a thought that refused to leave, ‘confess.’

It was a tempting thought, but how? Surely you couldn't just say ‘hey Kenma I've liked you since high school lets date!’ yeah no, that was a horrible idea. Maybe if you confessed with some originality he would be more likely to accept but for now, you were going to do your best to go to sleep.

[Episode two]

[recording in 3… 2… 1… start!]

In the morning you woke up feeling refreshed and excited for the day to come, Kenma had texted you and asked if you were feeling up to recording the reveal from last night and episode two today and of course you said yes.

The video goes on without any troubles and soon you find yourself staring at the computer screen at eleven once again.

“Remember to like, subscribe and comment below on who you think won this round.” Kenma’s voice is soothing - if you had to describe it you would say that it is silky like honey and smooth like dark chocolate; or maybe you would just say his voice is perfect. Kenma waves to the screen monitor, “hello? Earth to Yn! Are you dead or something? You look like a zombie.”

It takes a while to register, you weren’t really paying attention to the words he said as you were more interested in the way he sounded. You sit up and smile into the camera, “I'm awake… thanks for caring!”

He scoffs and swivels in his chair a bit, “I don't care about you, you're just my idiot best friend and flatmate.”

You playfully narrow your eyes, “well this idiot flatmate of yours helped you bake apple pie so you wouldn’t starve to death!”

“Hmmm, I guess. Well I'm going to head off. I'll see you later.”

You smile softly, “yeah I'll see you later, i'm just gonna stay on for a while.”

Kenma looks at you with an intrigued expression, “you're going to stay up longer? Better not be in this world, that's cheating. Want me to stay up with you?”

You roll your eyes and giggle, “it's all good I want to fix my house up in the other world. I'll see you tomorrow.”

He sighs, “if you say so.”

[recording over]

Your chair rolls back as you stretch, “maybe I should confess to him through a Minecraft journal…” you jump up. “Thats it! Thats a great way to confess! Its original and Kenma would appreciate it…. If he accepts my feelings that is…”

You groan and slump back down into the chair, “maybe it’s best if I don't confess at all. No! I've wanted to do this for years! If he doesn't like me back it's all good! Maybe I just won't do this on a stream!”

You reach over to the bench and pull up your phone, “who to call, mmm ok let’s call Alisa I’m going to need some emotional support!”

“Hey gamers, Kodzu here in another Minecraft live stream, today we’re just in mine and Yn’s regular world and i'm going to build a house - a cottage to be specific,” he pauses and looks at the comment section; ‘no Yn isn't here right now, no Yn won't be joining this video, no I didnt know shes streaming at the moment, yes my favourite food is apple pie, yes I have a calico cat, no Yn is not my significant other, yes we are just friends.’ Kenma moves back and takes a breath, “wow you guys sure are interested in Yn huh? Maybe I should get them in more videos, might get more views that way,” he laughs a bit.

“Let's start off by heading to my base, I have the materials I’ll need there- oh uh what's this?” Kenma pauses as he stares at the foreign object, “I don't remember having a written book in my chest… maybe Yn went in here and put it in?”

Kenma stares at the book for a while before he opens it, only to be shocked. The comment section notices the blush on his face and continue to spam him with questions:

[kodzusbabe]: what's in that diary!!

[Kenmastan]: hahAAAHHA LOOK HE’S SO RED IN THE FACE

[piefacecutie]: ^^ omg you're so right @/Kenmastan hes so cute 💓

[Kenmaxyn]: I hope it's a confession!

[ynhater]: @/Kenmaxyn from who? Cause I didn't do it and I'd be the only one for Kenma oppAr

[kennismaken]: I hope it’s Yn! They’d be such a cute couple

[applepudding]: umm? Kodzu! Why did he get up and leave??

[ynhater]: babe come back!

[Kenmaxyn]: OMG MAYBE IT WAS YN !!!!

After your late night call with Alisa, you decided it would be best to just do it and then ignore Kenma for the day - well, not ignore him per se, just simply decline all his Discord calls and Facetime calls so you could put off being rejected a little while longer. You woke up with a throbbing headache that you could only blame yourself for, after all you are the dumbass who stayed up until God knows when just to write a heartfelt confession. Eventually the angst of waiting for a message from Kenma overwhelmed you and here you are now; streaming Overwatch to get your mind off of a certain someone.

“Ah no! Cant believe that stupid Hanzo got me! What a pain!” you frown at the screen and let out a sigh, “the round is over… bummer. Well while we wait an eternity for the next round I guess I should answer some of your questions… oh? I didn't know Kenma was streaming, no I’m not dating him… “ you feel your heart sink as you read the next comment; “what do you mean Kenma ran away after reading a book? Was he unhappy?”

The next moments felt like a blur, your heart was heavy and you felt tears well up in your eyes and somehow you missed the sound of someone breaking into your apartment and then your bedroom. Within a second you feel someone wrap their arms around you from behind, your body tenses up but immediately relaxes when you recognise the perpetrators scent; sweet yet salty, like caramel toffee.

“Kenma! W-what are you doing?”

“I like you too… I have for so long.”

Your eyes widen and it doesn't take too long for a smile to appear on your face, “I'm so glad to hear that.”

You feel him smile into your neck as his embrace tightens, “finish up your livestream so we can talk please.”

“You don't need to tell me twice!”

It is eleven at night once again, but this time you’re not sitting alone in your gaming chair, instead you're sitting on Kenma’s lap - in his gaming chair as he slowly runs his hands through your hair and softly kisses your neck.

“So everyone’s pretty much freaking out over us huh?” you hum in response, “we’ve been officially together for what? Five hours?”

“Correct you are.”

You smile and hold up your phone while you continue to cuddle into him, “smile baby, I want the whole world to know that you're my player two.”

[Bonus - the love letter]

Dear Kenma,

This must be so strange - finding a journal in your chest.

I have wanted to tell you this for quite a while and I guess I have never found the write words to say; or the right way to for that matter,

But I love you

I have loved you since our first year at Nekoma

It's been a while hasn’t it?

I'm sorry if this inconveniences you, makes you uncomfortable or makes you never want to see me again;

Just let me continue for a little while longer because I need to get this off of my mind.

I love your smile - especially the rare one where you really smile, where your eyes crinkle and your cheeks begin to hurt

I love your voice - it’s smooth and silky, like honey being spread across bread

I love your scent - it reminds me of salted caramel, I can never get enough

I love your mind - the way it works to make me laugh, make me calm and all else

I love your lips - not necessarily in a sexual way, but more so in the way you talk and speak, they move softly and slowly in a way only your lips could move in.

I love your body - how although you're hunched most of the time you still possess a fine elegance in the way you move. How at times it reminds me of a graceful swan floating down a lake.

I love your hands - they are so pretty and dainty and soft, I want to hold them all day and all night

And most of all;

I love you

I love you in your entire

I could go ahead and pick the parts I love most and least but then you would no longer be you

I love you in your entire

Flaws and all

I know this may not be the most romantic, especially considering you’re reading this through Minecraft and I've never done this before but I had to let you know

Love

Taglist: [open] @ladyrenart

note: sooo this is another style that i tried and i have mixed feelings about it :) also if you can’t tell,,, i’ve never written a love letter before :’)

Do you do general headcanons? Because I'd like to propose The Office!au shenanigans ft. your choice of volleyball idiots from each team. In return you shall receive my eternal gratitude and several excited kaomojis. Knock yourself out I believe in youuu

even though these aren’t done at all, i decided to post what i have and make this a WIP post. so whenever i get more ideas for it, i’ll edit it and reblog it so you’ll know!

i don’t know exactly how i would write the characters doing shenanigans from the office without me just like… switching out character names in the script from the show, so i stuck with casting. and if anyone likes this enough to use for any edits or incorrect quotes or something, feel free go along with it and tag me in it too so i can see it!

things to note:

the haikyuu!! characters i chose to correspond with characters in the office are based on likeness in personality as well as some fun tidbits we know about characters from both series

these choices don’t necessarily reflect ships i have, even if that relationship was a central part of the office’s plot or a character’s story (mostly jim and pam, but also dwight and angela)

anyone can totally give me suggestions for characters i haven’t assigned yet

if you like what i do and want to show your support, consider supporting me on ko-fi!

- admin rachel lauren

Michael – Bokuto. I’ll get this out of the way: Bokuto is similar in some ways, but he’s not a bumbling fool like Michael. He’s just the closest to Michael personality-wise (even though Bokuto feels a lot more like Andy Dwyer from Parks and Recreation to me). He was the hardest to cast for me after Dwight, maybe? Michael Scott is not a good manager, and an idiot through-and-through, but when it comes to sales, it’s difficult to for the potential client to not make a deal with him because he’s so damn good at sales. I feel like this is very similar to Bokuto.

Jim – The prankster and the romantic meshed into one character. It was an obvious toss-up between Kuroo and Futakuchi, but I went with Kuroo on this because we’ve seen Kuroo realize when he’s crossed a line and apologize for it, which we see from Jim too. I haven’t seen this from Futakuchi, not that there have been a lot of chances for him to anyway.

Pam – A really tough choice between Suga and Yachi, but I’m going to go with Suga on this one. It was pretty close because both of them have a mostly equal blend of Pam’s qualities (I explain why I could have chosen Yachi below). Her overall arc starts with the fact that she’s settling for less than what she wants in most aspects of her life, until a little bit later when we she decides that she’s going to start getting what she wants. We see something very similar with Suga until the practice match against the Neighborhood Association and then again during the Golden Week training camp (the conversation with Ukai). That and Pam becomes incredibly sassy once she and Jim finally start dating and even sassier when she’s promoted. There’s some verbal savagery that Suga shares with Pam. Also, Pam plays volleyball and is very good at it (she can even jump serve!!!!). Suga can’t jump serve, but he does play (which Yachi does not).

Yachi’s character arc is also similar to Pam’s. The tension between her and her mother and her own lack of confidence is not unlike Pam. But she’s able to find her footing soon enough when she stops convincing herself that not being good enough yet isn’t a reason to not try something at all. And while I’d like to think that having to put up with the current second- and -first-years for a little bit longer will give Yachi a bit of the tough skin and bite we get from Pam later in the series, it’s not really canon. Also Pam is an artist and we know Yachi has similar skills!

But yeah, Suga was my pick for Pam in the end.

Dwight – Kageyama but Dwight is an Actual Asshole most of the time (he has his moment) and Kageyama isn’t. It’s mostly just because the two of them can be very dense. Also Dwight’s constant slinging of “idiot” at mostly Jim is like the predecessor for Kags’ insistence of calling Hinata a dumbass.

Andy – I haven’t chosen who yet, I kind of feel bad about whoever I do choose for Andy because his character arc finished up so poorly. I think Andy was one of the best characters on the show until his family lost their money, he went boating for months because of it, and came back an asshole.

So my choice for Andy would be him post-anger management to the above.

Erin –

Darryl -

Angela –

Oscar – Yaku screams Oscar to me. There’s something very “only sane one in the room” and “I’m smarter than you” about Yaku that’s reminiscent of Oscar--though the latter is much less pronounced in our dear libero.

Kevin –

Phyllis – a perfect mix of Asahi and Yamaguchi. She’s mostly very gentle and matronly, but there are so many moments when she’ll say or do something seemingly out-of-character or even very much in-character but just entirely unexpected (every single time she sasses or snubs someone) that scream Yamaguchi especially to me.

Stanley –

Meredith –

Creed – Coach Nekomata. If you expected anyone other than Turnt Grandpa, I don’t know what you were thinking.

Kelly – (I don’t know who yet, but do not say Oikawa. I’m not going to reduce him like that).

Regardless

Pairing: Daehyun x You

Genre: Romance/ Fluff

Summary: Scenario of when he cheers you up from a bad day (Your POV)

Request by anonymous! I'm super late, but this is for all the bad days!

Disclaimer: Inspired by a scene from one of my favourite animes 'Haikyuu'. I won't spoil it, but bonus points to whoever spots which part I'm talking about.

It's been quite while since my last one and I'm a bit rusty, but please enjoy as always! For more, go to Mato Planet!

I wonder when the hardest thing to say became "I'm not okay".

Simple enough, right?

Three words that even a toddler could handle.

Say those three magic words, and all problems could solved, be it with a band-aid for a scrape or a comforting hug.

When you get older, however, uttering these words will get you little sympathy.

In the real world,

There are no perks for an adult acting like a child.

I was leaning on the kitchen counter of my apartment, phone pressed to my ear as I flipped through the local newspaper aimlessly. There were columns highlighted and circled aggressively with red markers, but nothing held my interest besides the fact that each section was labelled with the common tagline of "NOW HIRING".

Although my caller was yapping away on the other end of the line, I was tuning out most of the conversation to listen to the soft hum of the heating kettle.

"And how was the interview? Think you did well on it?"

I sighed.

This had to be the third call about this already.

"I don't know, Mom... I told you already. They said they'd get back to me," I replied, a hint of annoyance in my tone.

"It's been more than a week, though! Does that mean you've been rejected?"

" I don't know yet!"

"Well, sweetie... Just keep applying, okay? It's probably for the best... I knew it was going to be hard to get that job, especially with your degree,"

"Thanks, Mom... Reminding me yet again that I've made a mistake of the last 4 years of my life,"

The high pitch whistle of the kettle rang out, and I watched the steam erupt slowly from its spout.

"Now you know that's not what I meant! It's just... You could have done something more... realistic," she replied pointedly.

"Alright, well... My kettle's ready, so I'm going to have to hang up now..." I murmured.

"Well then, let me know how it goes!"

There was a brief silence, as if she was debating whether to continue onto her next sentence.

" You know... sometimes, I'm just really worried about you. You know I just want everything to be okay for you, right?"

I paused at this, watching the kettle steam for a moment.

"Well actually, Mom, I-"

"Oh, sorry sweetie! That's actually your Dad calling me to the living room! COMING-! I guess I have to go now too!"

"Oh, okay... but-"

" Take care and love you!"

"I... Love you too..."

I let the line beep for a few moments before dropping my phone down onto the nearest counter space and attending to the heated kettle. I poured myself a cup of tea, and made my way to the coffee table with my newspaper.

As I finally sat down to rest, I took another glance at the annotated document and let out a loud groan.

"Why is this SO DAMN HARD?" I cried in frustration, sweeping the newspaper off the table and onto the floor.

With a large sigh, I hunched over the table, rubbing my temples to relieve the emerging headache I was getting.

I was already in my twenties.

By this age, my parents had finished their degrees, gotten married, full-time jobs, and had generally achieved some sort of stability in their lives.

And here I am, on the brink of my final year of college, with an unconventional degree and an art portfolio that would lead to a walk-off-the-plank from countless realistic job opportunities.

You're not a kid anymore.

Get your shit together.

Before I could dwell deeper into my self-wallowing, I heard a familiar message tune coming from my phone in the kitchen.

I crossed the room quickly to reach the phone, and opened the new message in my inbox.

(A/N: All text messages will be denoted with bolded sentences)

Daehyun

Hey! So I know it's been forever and you're probably busy... But how are you?

I gave a small smile.

Of course he would message me now.

"Pabo..." I mumbled, opening the box for a new message.

You sir, have SPECTACULAR timing.

I could REALLY use a distraction right now.

I counted to five, and surely enough, my phone buzzed violently in my hand as a series of texts began to emerge on my screen.

Daehyun

Well, that can be arranged and can be subject to many interpretations (if you know what I mean).

But, joking aside... what's up?

Should I be worried? Do you want to talk about it?

Are you okay?

I pondered on the last text for a few moments, my thumbs a few inches away from the screen as I contemplated whether to respond truthfully or not.

But maybe...

Maybe, just this once.

No... I don't think I'm okay. Not really.

Actually, I've been having a hard time lately.

There was a minute or two of silence, before a new message appeared.

Daehyun

Okay, got it.

Leave it to me.

My brows furrowed as I read and re-read my screen.

Wait... what?

What does that mean?

I must have waited in a state of mild concern and confusion, phone within my hands, for about fifteen minutes or so before the sudden vibration and light from the device caused me to drop it promptly on the kitchen floor.

I cursed my clumsiness silently and picked up the phone to read the new message.

Daehyun

Can you come downstairs for a bit?

Without another thought but the man on the other line, I grabbed the nearest coat I could find and rushed out the door. As I descended into the main lobby, I could already spot his favourite coat from outside the clear entrance doors.

He was simply leaning against the post by the entrance, watching his breath rise up into the cold winter sky. His head turned suddenly towards the door and he broke out into a large grin as he spotted me. I returned it with a small giggle and a wave, before I pushed through the doors to meet him.

"Good night for a drink, don't you think?" he suggested, holding up a large plastic bag.

"Yes please," I laughed.

We set off on a walk to the nearest park, which stood atop a large hill, giving us a stunning view of the city nightscape.

I took one long sip of my drink, before letting out a small sigh of contentment.

"Yup, I definitely needed this. Good call on the alcohol," I told the man next to me, clinking my can to his.

Daehyun gave me his signature half-smile before turning again to watch the view.

"Kind of brings you back, doesn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

He turned back to face me and stretching his hand, he ruffled my hair lightly.

"Aigoo, it was one of my fondest memories, and she doesn't even remember!" he said in mock sadness.

I swatted his hand away, a new smile forming on my face.

"Daehyun, just tell me!"

He looked at me for a moment, his cheekbones rising slightly despite his determination to keep a sad expression.

"Back when I was still a trainee at the company," he began, taking another sip from his drink.

"I had many days where I was down in the dumps... I thought to myself, is this really what I have to go through to get to where I want to be? Was everyone right? Was it too much of a dream, a fantasy that was meant for someone else?"

He shook his head.

"At one point, I really was on the brink of breaking down and just giving up for good... And that was when someone ... gave me a quick call to see how I was doing," he said slowly, watching my expression again.

"You... You told me that you weren't okay..." I recalled slowly.

"Yes, and?"

"And so... I took the night bus to your company building, and snuck into your practice room..."

"I still think the night guard remembers you, but that's another tale..."

"And then I brought you that snack you love, the one you told me they banned from your training diet, just to cheer you up,"

"I guess the alcohol is kind of an upgrade from that snack, huh?" he mused, grinning at me.

"Pabo..." I replied quietly, finishing the rest of my drink in one gulp.

I felt a slight tug on my jacket, and turned to see Daehyun giving me a meaningful look. He raised both arms up towards me, and gave a small shrug as if to say "If you need one, I'm here."

"Yes please," I said quietly.

And without another word, I was taken into his embrace. I closed my eyes slowly, feeling his hold tighten as I wrapped my hands around his waist.

I felt calm listening to his steady heartbeat and soft hum, and taking in his familiar scent. He raised one hand to run his hand through my hair.

After a while, he pulled himself back to face me, his hands holding me gently by the shoulders.

"You know... I think the struggles we have put a great burden on our shoulders. It's easy to see why we always end up looking down on the ground. But you, my dear..." he emphasized, poking me lightly on the forehead with his finger.

"Regardless of all the deadlines and the expectations... Regardless of all the bullshit the world throws at you... I wish you will always look up and straight ahead," he said, smiling.

Unable to say more, we turned to watch the view again, both equally embarrassed by the touching moment we shared.

I snuck a glance at him, smiling as I saw that a shy smile was still etched onto his face.

Slowly, I leaned myself on his shoulder. I felt him straighten up for a second from surprise, before wordlessly pulling me closer to him by the waist.

"Thank you," I whispered.

He leaned on my head to whisper back.

"You saved me back then, too. Thank you."

The sun was at the brink of rising when we finally returned to my apartment.

Somehow, our fingers had naturally intertwined as we walked silently together. Unwillingly, I broke off from his grasp as I inched towards the entrance doors. I paused, my hand on the door handle, before turning back to greet him good-bye one last time.

"I'll call you later?"

He gave a small wave, nodding in agreement.

"If you're ever not okay, again... let me know, and I'll come back to cheer you up," he promised.

Turning on his heel, he strode down the pathway. He made it a few meters before he stopped in his steps, as if glued in place.

He turned around once more, walking towards me.

"What's up, Daehyun?" I asked.

"Actually... let me know whenever you're okay as well. Regardless, I'd like to be here for you then, too," he confessed, blushing.

I giggled, blushing all the same.

"Okay."

Ten Fandoms, Ten Characters!!!

So, I’m not dead - for the most part anyway. I’m surfacing enough to do this lovely tag, which I was tagged by @zadien . Thank you! Here it goes:

Air Awakens Series - Jax Wendyll! The man is batshit crazy and the love of my life. He’s the best.

Beyblade - Tala Valkov of course - this should surprise no one. He’s ruined me, and I now have an affinity for redheads, especially with blue eyes.

Bungou Stray Dogs - Chuuya Nakahara/Dazai Osamu (Double Black/Soukoku) - speaking of redheads with blue eyes, my dear Chuuya is next. Technically the partnership/rivalry between Chuuya and Dazai is my thing, but Chuuya is my baby.

K Project: Fushimi Saruhiko - such a grumpy baby, but I relate to his overworked exhaustion and pissed off attitude on a spiritual level.

Haikyuu!!- Oikawa Tooru - Um... sorry Gems. The sassy trash King stole my heart, and I’m so sorry I fell for the Devil Child.

Fairy Tail - Grey Fullbuster or Laxus Dreyar. I know it’s pick one, but these two are pretty much neck and neck for my favorite character. I’ve loved Grey from the start, but Laxus is the dark horse that I freakin’ hated at the beginning.

FFVII - Reno! Yep, another redhead that also ruined my life. He and Tala showed up about the same time in my life, so it’s a toss up for who is responsible for my redhead problem nowadays, but I still blame Tala because he deserves it.

Zoids - Raven! One of my first anime loves, and arrogant asshole that he is, I still adore him to this day. (Karl gets an honorable mention though).

RWBY - Qrow. Do I really need to explain this one? He’s an adorable badass.

Voltron - Lance - and I have to admit that’s a combo decision from the 80′s Voltron and the new Netflix Voltron. I’m a big fan of Shiro in the new one too, but I grew up on the 80′s version and I love Lance in both versions. Keith is pretty good too. Clearly I have a problem for the characters with a friendly rivalry.

Well, there is my current list of fandoms and characters. I’m sure I forgot some of my big fandoms but those are the ones that came to mind at the time, and I love them all. As for who I tag, I’m lazy so whoever wants to do it really.

dear yuletide author

dear yuletide author,

first of all, i'm so sorry this ended up so late, and thank you very much for your patience! without further ado:

my single most important consideration is that you write something you're excited to write – that's where all the best yuletide fic comes from, anyway! – so just remember that you should feel free to disregard any and all of the following if you're not feeling it. i mean this, some of the best exchange gifts i've ever gotten have been passion projects that had nothing to do with anything i would have thought of to put in a letter. but if you're looking for somewhere to start brainstorming--

stuff i like in general: loyalty, small gestures that speak loudly, unspoken feelings, loyalty, tropes, meta-tropes, and loyalty. my other internet footprint is at @snowshoe if you're looking to get a sense of me outside of, um, sports anime.

frontier wolf: i am alllll about alexios/hilarion, for reasons above, but if you're not into slash, i'm very into that intense platonic dynamic ("the Sutcliff", if you will) as well. i could read 431843904 takes on post-series fic and never get tired of it – oh wait, i have! – or ditto for hilarion's backstory if you want to focus on just one of the two of them. (which is fine with me.) i would also love to read place fic – whether that place is valentia or belgica is up to you – and/or winter fic. i really admire how well Sutcliff fandom does both of those things, so if you are looking for a chance to dig into the setting… here it is.

i don't usually think in terms of AUs in this fandom but if you have an exciting idea my ears are open! (the one exception is – bear with me here, this is weirdly specific – years ago i read carmarthen's eagle of the ninth historical reenactment au and immediately thought, wow, what is the crew from frontier wolf up to in this 'verse, how on earth did alexios RUIN AN SCA CHAPTER. i don't know enough about reenactment to do this convincingly myself but if you do…) (please don't feel you have to do this.)

note: this section is shorter than the others not because i'm less excited about it but because the source material more strongly for itself, and the fandom has more recent activity (i.e., it actually exists). i trust you already. :)

here is greenwood/koko wa greenwood: god, it's been so long! i check this tag every so often in the vain hope someone out there is thinking about this, so if we matched on this, know you are making my year.

the mitsuru/shinobu dynamic – i could write ten thousand words on this. i ship it, of course, but it's not exclusively a ship thing. for a Wacky Boarding School Hijinx comedy manga, the extent to which mitsuru… saves… shinobu… is so poignant. (the apartment rental scene, end me.) that's one of the things i really love about greenwood as a whole, that juxtaposition of increasingly wild settings and schemes with bits of emotion played straight that resonate even more because of it. romantic or platonic – it almost doesn't matter – mitsuru's importance to shinobu is so critical. (and that is the axis i tend to get hung up on so if you want to write about the role shinobu plays for mitsuru, please! because there is plenty to chew on there.) the way shinobu is so incredibly sure that this "shelter from the rain" can't last, and that that's never explicitly countered in the manga but the note it goes out on is, they're going on to university together, so… maybe. maybe.

breathes. having said that, outside of that black hole of feelings, i'm also super interested in the tezuka family and associates in general. the dynamic between shinobu and noriko is so fascinating, and hasn't been explored too much. i would read a deep dive into their relationship – platonic, sexual, probably pretty messed up no matter what – in a heartbeat. i just deleted a whole paragraph about how greenwood is a metaphor for japanese society during the bubble economy, so i'll just say: the manga ended the year the bubble burst. greenwood meets the 90s, i'd read it.

i just wrote um a lot about mostly shinobu, but of course the charm of greenwood is the clown car ensemble cast, and dorm hijinks or reunion hijinks (greenwood dousoukai!) or a typical Scheme gone awry – or all too right? – would be absolutely delightful. seriously, you cannot possibly go wrong in this fandom. now brb gotta go listen to "amayadori" another twenty thousand times.

haikyuu stage rpf: i nominated this and i have the sneaking feeling i am the only person who requested or offered it, so if we matched on this (or if you're browsing pinch hits and this interests you), please PLEASE let's be friends. but desperate appeals aside.

i nommed kazuma, kouhei, hiroki, and keita. but like. you can write whoever you want to. (kenta, tatsunari, takato, shouri, the dear departed hirata yuuya, literally anyone.) i ship: kazuma/kouhei, keita/hiroki, yuuya/kousuke (leave me alone), takato/shouri, ryousuke/kairi, etc ad infinitum. i platonically ship kenta/tatsunari, like, they are not best friends but they clearly trust and respect each other so much? claws at the carpet. (if you wanted to take it to a non-platonic place, be my guest, it's so pure i can't do it in my head, but i trust you.)

kazuma/kouhei: i mean! look at them! they mean so much to each other! kouhei made kazuma cry during curtain calls. literally every hajimari no kyojin interview/blog post/whatever is about how amazing kazuma is and how supportive kouhei is. kouhei's band, in which kazuma guests so often he's called a "regular". plus, it's a classic beauty and the bro dynamic.

keita/hiroki: it is one of the great tragedies of my life that hiroki left the cast JUST AS keita came back. like. @ god, why. this ship is definitely uhhhh based on my deep social media analysis that ino hiroki is super thirsty. and, i mean, who could blame him! they went on overnight onsen trips. i'm just saying. (my headcanon is also that kazuma is Into It, "it" being the sheer aesthetic perfection of tanaka keita, on a physical level. then he started all these mushy emotional Feelings about kouhei, what the shit, kouhei's not even his type!! …hi.)

AUs: any of them. all of them. please. go wild.

i run a haikyuu stage tumblr with a bunch of interview translations and event reports and uploads over at @shoushatohaisha, if you need some material. i'm going to try and get the hajimari no kyojin stuff, which is where kazuma really comes into his own, up as soon as i get my dvd, and i have assorted hnk reports and translations up already.

thank you, again, for your patience in waiting for this letter, and for writing any of these three incredibly rare fandoms. i am so, so excited to read whatever you write!

Dear Whoever: [Shirabu Kenjirou]

Synopsis: Where reader was bored during quarantine and decided to send hand written letters to all their friends however Yn forgot one important thing, her best friend Mina no longer lived at her old address which led to Shirabu - a boy at another school, receiving the letter.

WC: 1.7K

TW: none :)

Note: hello! here is the newest and last instalment of the dear whoever series!! I hope you enjoy even though it’s a bit slow

Dear Kiyoko,

How are you? Quarantine must suck, although you really love your alone time so maybe it's not so bad for you? I'm finding it boring and spent a good day or two on tiktok and kept seeing people write letters and send them to their friends so I thought I'd try it out. It's kind of weird? Anyways… just wanted to ask how you're going and all, if you want we can continue to send letters to each other?

From Yn

Dear Yn,

I’m sorry my name is actually Kenjirou - not Kiyoko. Unfortunately you must have written in the wrong address, perhaps this friend of yours's last name is Shimizu? Because if so the Shimizu family owned this house prior to my family moving in. you sound like a nice friend, it is very thoughtful of you to write letters to your friends. I'm sure they will be thrilled with the surprise.

Kind regards, Kenjirou.

Dear Kenjirou,

Haha wow I can't believe I forgot that she moved houses! How silly! Sorry about that! Well, I'm all for making new friends - especially in this boring time, so how about it? Will you be my pen pal? No sweat of course! I don't want to make you uncomfortable considering you are a stranger… but if you write back can you at least tell me some information? Haha that sounds creepy but I would like to know who I’m communicating with at least, I'll do the same (and send a pic of myself).

From, Yn

Dear Yn,

I'm not the most social person but I can agree with you, this lockdown is making me incredibly bored and these letters seem to be the least bit interesting so I will agree to your suggestion. I am a second year student at Shiratorizawa and I play volleyball. If you must know I have light brown hair - same as my eyes, and light skin. To answer your question from your first letter that was technically directed at your friend Shimizu, I am doing alright albeit very, very bored and caught up in studying. How about yourself?

Kind regards, Kenjirou,

Dear Kenjirou,

I am doing good! I enjoy writing back and forth with my friends - it brings me great entertainment and gives me something to look forward to. Online schooling is a pain in the ass. Oh! About me, I am also a second year student from Dateko! What a coincidence because I also play volleyball! Maybe we have crossed paths at a tournament? Do you have a favorite subject at school? Oh also! Like promised here's my instagram: @yn.-. ,,, proof that I am who I am haha. But how about we don’t text on there, we should keep this a sort of tradition and send letters to each other.

From, Yn

Dear Yn,

Hope you are doing well, it's nice that we are now mutuals on social media and I can confirm that I have seen you before - though it was for a very brief moment at the spring high tournaments. I agree, online school is, quite frankly, draining me mentally. I feel as if there is a larger work load. Personally my favourite subjects are chemistry and biology; I strive to become a doctor in the coming years. I like your idea of communicating through mail, it's not quick or efficient but it is something to look forward to. What position do you play on the volleyball court?

Kind regards, Kenjirou

Dear Kenjirou,

I am doing well thank you for asking! How about yourself? And yes it's nice to be mutuals, your account has a nice aesthetic to it! I play setter! If my memory serves correct, you do as well? Do you like picnics? I really like them. When this is all over I really really want to hang out with all my friends, do you feel the same?

From Yn

Dear Yn,

Glad to know you’re well and despite being swamped with assessment tasks, I am okay. I also like the presentation of your account, and yes, your memory is correct; I do play setter. I have never gone on a picnic before… perhaps we can go on one after we get out of lock down?

Kind Regards, Kenjirou

Dear Kenjirou,

Of course I would love to go on a picnic? Where would we go? Do you like reading books? I read a lot of them in my spare time - including short stories online, when we manage to go on a picnic why don't we bring our favourite books and talk about them and read them… if that doesn't sound boring of course!

From Yn

Dear Yn,

I love reading books, if we were to go somewhere I think a nice nature park would sound good; somewhere quiet and away from kids… do you have a favourite colour, or perhaps a favourite food? Only two more weeks of lockdown left, I'm excited to go back to school and play volleyball again.

Kind regards, Kenjirou

Dear Kenjirou,

A nature park sounds lovely, too bad we can't go anytime soon. Did you hear the news last night? They are keeping us in six more weeks because some people are stupid enough to continue to party… this is so annoying! Not that we can do anything about it - the only thing we can do is stay inside and wait it out. My favourite food is rice!! And my favourite colour is probably red. What about yourself? Oh one more thing… this may sound strange but I love exchanging letters like this - the rest of my friends stopped about two or three weeks ago but you've kept at it and it's made me feel… I don't know, special? Hahahah let's ignore that sorry!

From Yn,

Dear Yn,

I understand what you mean, everytime I receive and read through a letter written by you I feel warm inside. And yes i did see the news and as unfortunate as it is we can't do anything but wait it out. I don't have a favourite colour, it’s never really been on my mind. When you say your favourite food is rice, what do you mean? Just plain rice?

Kind regards, Kenjirou

Dear Kenjirou,

I’m glad you feel like that, and yes, when I say my favourite food is rice I mean just a bowl of cooked rice haha. Since we can’t go on a picnic anytime soon, why don't we have a virtual one? We could just set it up in our rooms and facetime each other, how about that? Sending letters to and from each other is something so special but u long to hear your voice.

From, Yn

Dear Yn,

A virtual picnic? That sounds lovely. How about next Friday afternoon? Truthfully I'm excited, I know it won't be with you in person but at least I’ll be a lot closer to you compared to when we write letters.

Kind Regards, Kenjirou

Today is the day you finally speak to Kenjirou face to face, you stand up and look over your room; ‘to think I actually cleaned my room for a boy,’ you sigh. You leave your room to collect the picnic blanket and the food.

The doorbell rings; ‘delivery!’ With everything in your hands you do your best to open the door, when you look outside you see the postman a good ten metres away and for a second you think its weird before you remember the damned pandemic going on. ‘Afternoon miss, lovely day isn't it? I have a bouquet of flowers addressed to Yn. I've left them just next to your foot. Enjoy your day!’ And with that, he left.

You raise your eyebrows and look down to your foot and as he said, there is a lovely bouquet of flowers - red chrysanthemums, daisies, pink camellia and primulas. You stare at it for a minute, ‘what an odd combination… it kinda works though…’ you bend down to pick it up and then proceed to waddle through your house with full hands and a slightly obscured vision.

When you get to your room you set everything up, ‘where do I put these flowers?’ Just as you were about to place them on your desk a small note fell out; ‘dear Yn,’ you read, ‘I’m sorry, I'm not sure what your favorite flowers are but hopefully you like these ones. If we were on a real date I would have given these to you in person. Kind regards, Kenjirou.’ You stare down at the flowers and smile, ‘so that's why they are an odd bunch; he must have searched up flowers with pretty meanings.’

The smile continues to rest on your lips as you sit down, patiently waiting for the clock to strike four before you press the green call icon. To your surprise on exactly four - and not a second later, your phone rings and when you accept it you come face to face with the boy you have been secretly harbouring feelings for.

‘Afternoon Yn, how have you been today?’ You notice the straight posture he holds along with his deadpan facial expression but despite him looking like he doesn't want to be here, you remind yourself that he called you before you called him - meaning he was just as eager to meet you.

‘Hey,’ you start off softly, ‘I’ve been excited all day, it's nice to finally hear your voice and see you in person.’

A small smile graces his lips, ‘yeah, same to you.’

The two of you spend the night talking and sharing facts before you settle down to watch a movie together through screen sharing. When the movie ends you look back to him to find him already staring at you.

You take this time to muster up the courage to confess your feelings, ‘hey Kenjirou, I know we haven't been friends for that long and this is the first time we’ve spoken to each other but I’ve- I guess you could say I really like you and…’

‘Let’s go on a real date when this is all over,’ he finishes for you.

You smile brightly at him, ‘I'd love to!’

Bonus !!

‘On one condition! When we go on an actual date I get to hug you!'

Kenjirou lets his small smile grow slightly larger, ‘that's fine with me.’
