"Youâre insufferable."
That was the last thing you hissed at Shirabu KenjirĆ before the attending physician turned, red-faced and barely breathing through his nose, and barked loud enough to make half the emergency department flinch:
"Both of youâout. Now."
But that wasnât how the day started.
It started with an argument.
â0.25 milligrams,â you said evenly, eyes flicking from the tablet to the patient. âHeâs seventy-two. With a documented history of hepatic impairment. Weâre not doing a full dose.â
Shirabu didnât look up from the vial in his gloved hand. âHeâs metabolizing fine, vitals are steady, and the attendingâs notesââ
ââdonât override the risk of oversedation,â you cut in, sharper this time. âWe need to adjust it. I already cleared it with Pharmacy.â
He glanced at you then, that cool clinical stare that always made your blood boil. âI triple-checked the chart. Weâre wasting time.â
âYouâre going to put a seventy-two-year-old man into respiratory depression.â
âAnd youâre going to let him seize while we argue.â
Your mouth opened, ready to fire backâand thatâs when it happened.
The patientâs monitor screamed.
A violent shudder rocked through his body, limbs jerking, back arching off the gurney.
âShit!â you both snapped in unison.
âCode blue!â you shouted into the hallway. âWe need Ativan, now!â
The room exploded into motion. Nurses poured in. A crash cart slammed into the doorframe. Someone started chest compressions. And youâhelplessly gripping the IV tubing you hadnât primedâstood frozen beside Shirabu, both of you silent, horror pooling in your throats.
The attending shoved through seconds later, eyes wild. âGet the hell out!â
__
Now.
âYouâre done here for today,â the attending had spat, voice blistering. âGo help the nurses. Clean linens, supply runs, sit with waiting patientsâI donât care. Youâre both liabilities right now.â
Shame swirled in your gut. Not because you were wrongâno, you were right about the dosageâbut because youâd let Shirabu get under your skin. Again. And someone paid for it.
You stormed out of the trauma bay, white coat flaring behind you like a war banner, and Shirabu followed half a step behind, not saying anything yet, which was somehow worse. The moment you passed the threshold into the hallway, you whirled on him.
âYouâre unbelievable,â you snapped. âI told you the dose was too highââ
âAnd I told you I triple-checked the chart,â he said coolly, not even looking at you. âBut of course, you think youâre always right.â
âBecause I usually am. You never listen to anyone, you just go with your arrogant little gutââ
âMy gut?â He turned then, sharply, eyes like frost over steel. âYou mean the one that finished top of its class in diagnostics and surgical prep?â
âOh, congratulations,â you snarled, hands tightening into fists at your sides. âYou got a gold star while you ignored the actual patient in front of you.â
"You don't know how to read the room half the time," he snapped. "Youâre so busy being morally superior, you forget weâre on a clock. You want to argue philosophy while someoneâs bleeding out? Grow up."
You could feel your pulse in your teeth. Heat flooded your face. You werenât even sure when the two of you had gotten so closeâbut now he was right in front of you, all sharp lines and cold fire, his jaw tight, breath shallow, his stupidly pretty mouth parted like he had one more insult on the tip of his tongue.
âYouâre a condescending prick, you know that?â you hissed. âAlways acting like youâre the only one with a functioning brain.â
âAnd youâre a self-righteous control freak who canât take being challenged.â
âYou donât challenge, Shirabu. You bulldoze.â
âAnd you let your emotions run the whole goddamn room.â
You stared at him, breathing hard, chest rising and falling as if youâd just sprinted across the hospital. He was infuriating. Arrogant. Cold. The kind of person who drove you absolutely insane. And yetâ
His mouth was moving again, eyes still sharpâbut all you could think about was how close he was. How flushed his skin had gotten. How your stomach hadnât stopped twisting since that patient flatlined. The adrenaline still burned in your chest like a furnace. And how long had it been since anyone had touched you, really touched youâlooked at you like more than just a coat with a badge and a clipboard?
When was the last time I had sex?
The thought shot through your brain like a live wire. The frustration, the tension, the sheer exhaustion of existing inside a pressure cooker like this day after dayâit all exploded behind your eyes.
Sixteen-hour shift. A missed lunch. A mistake that rattled your bones.
Fuck it.
You grabbed the front of his coat, yanked him forward, and shoved himâhardâinto the nearest door. It flew open with a groan, revealing the dim, cramped supply closet, the air inside cold and sterile and completely indifferent to what was about to happen.
You shoved him inside.
He barely had time to stumble backward before you stepped in after him, kicked the door shut with a sharp slam, and crashed your lips to his.
It was a mistake. It was impulsive. It was heaven. A desperate, furious kind of salvation.
Shirabu froze for half a secondâjust long enough for you to think oh god, what have I doneâbefore he growled low in his throat and kissed you back like heâd been waiting for this, like he had been burning too. His hands found your waist, fingers digging into your hips like he wanted to leave bruises, like he needed to anchor himself to something real.
You gasped when he walked you backward, guiding you with rough, hurried steps until your back hit the shelves. The plastic bins and paper-wrapped gauze rattled with the force of it.
âThis,â he rasped against your jaw, breath hot and uneven, âis the stupidest idea youâve ever had.â
âShut up,â you whispered, clawing his lab coat open. âI donât want to hear your voice right now.â
âThen stop giving me reasons to use it.â
You dragged him down again.
The kiss deepened, turned frantic, messy. Teeth. Tongue. Hot breath and sharp nails. The smell of antiseptic and the sting of fluorescent lighting faded into nothing. The only thing you could feel was the press of his mouth, the grind of his body against yours, the heat blooming low and hungry in your belly.
He yanked your scrub top up, pushed it out of the way with impatience, and bit down along your collarbone like he meant to leave a mark. You gasped, nails digging into his shoulders. You wanted him closer. You wanted him rougher. You wanted to feel anything but the burn of regret and the echo of the code blue.
And you let him.
Because youâd been burning for too long.
And because, for once, Shirabu KenjirĆ had finally shut the hell up.
Youâre two months pregnant and absolutely glowing. Thereâs a nervous excitement in your every breath, your hand constantly drifting over your still-flat belly as if to check that itâs real. That thereâs really a little life growing inside you. A little Miya, curled up and getting bigger by the day.
Youâre in the passenger seat of the car, heading toward your very first ultrasound appointment. The windows are down, and the soft spring breeze is curling through your hair as the late morning sun streams through the windshield. Everything feels light. Hopeful. Surreal.
Atsumu is driving one-handed, his other resting on your thigh, thumb tracing idle circles against your leggings. He hums quietly to the radio, lips twitching into a smile every time he glances over at you.
âYâknow,â he says after a moment, âI been thinkinâ about what kind of nose theyâll have. Hopefully yours. Mineâs too pointy.â
You let out a soft laugh, the kind that bubbles up without effort. âAs long as they donât have your drama.â
âHey!â he protests, though heâs still smiling as he squeezes your leg. âTheyâre allowed a little flair. They are mine, after all.â
You roll your eyes fondly, fingers tangling with his at the next red light. He lifts your joined hands to press a kiss to your knuckles before driving on.
When you pull into the clinic parking lot, your nerves start to set inâlow and creeping. Itâs your first time seeing the baby. Hearing a heartbeat. It makes everything feel suddenly, painfully real.
The waiting room is quiet, with soft instrumental music playing and the smell of hand sanitizer hanging in the air. Youâre seated beside Atsumu, your knees bouncing ever so slightly as your mind races ahead. His hand is still in yours, firm and grounding.
When the nurse finally calls your name, you squeeze his fingers a little tighter.
The exam room is dimly lit, calm, with a monitor beside the table and soft instructions given as you lie back. You wince slightly at the cold gel, heart pounding in your ears as the technician glides the wand over your stomach.
She squints at the screen. Tilts her head.
Then her eyes widen slightly.
âOh.â
You stiffen. âWhat? What is it? Is something wrong?â
Sheâs quick to reassure you. âNo, noâeverything looks good. Itâs just... youâre having twins.â
Silence.
Atsumu leans in closer, eyes squinting at the screen. âTwins?â
âTwins,â the technician repeats, pointing to two distinct little shapes. âYou see here? Two sacs. Two heartbeats.â
Your gaze locks onto the screen. Two. Not one. Not the tiny flutter youâd been preparing for, but two.
A sudden wave of panic crashes over you.
âTwo?â you echo, your voice a shaky whisper. âLike... two babies? At the same time?â
The technician gently clears her throat. "Well, itâs a little early to know for sure if theyâre fraternal or identical, but yesâtwins."
You feel your breath hitch, the room growing smaller around you. âThatâs two car seats. Two cribs. Two births. Two newborns crying at onceââ
Your hand grips Atsumuâs forearm, eyes wide as your mind races. âI donâtâI wasnât ready for two. I barely wrapped my head around one.â
Youâre still staring at the screen when Atsumu shifts closer to the bed, his hand still resting lightly on yours.
âHey,â he says softly. âBreathe for me, okay?â
You turn toward him with wide, overwhelmed eyes. âTsumu... thatâs two babies. Thatâs two of everything. What if I canâtâwhat if Iâm not enough for both of them?â
âYou are,â he says instantly, without hesitation. âYou will be. We will.â
But your hand flails toward his forearm like it needs something to latch onto. âThis is your fault. You and Osamu. You cursed me with twin genes!â
He stares at you, stunned. âWhat?! How is this my fault?â
âBecause youâre a twin! Thatâs how!â
The technician offers a gentle smile, still watching the monitor. âActually, twins are likely influenced by the motherâs genetics. So if anyone âpassed it down,â itâs likely you.â
You blink slowly. âSo... itâs me?â
Atsumu exhalesârelieved. âSee? I didnât do this! You doubled down on your own.â
Your head snaps toward the technician, eyes wide and blinking rapidly, a storm of disbelief swirling behind them. You donât say anythingâbut your look says plenty.
The technician catches the expression immediately and offers a placating smile, lifting her hands lightly. "Iâll give you two a minute," she says gently, already stepping toward the door, and quietly slips out of the room, pulling it closed behind her with a soft click.
You drop your head back onto the exam pillow with a muffled groan. âI donât know how to do one baby. Let alone two. Thatâs double the crying. Double the diapers. Double the college funds.â
Atsumu leans down until his forehead presses softly to yours. His hand finds yours again, grounding you with the warmth of his palm and the way his thumb strokes soothingly across your skin.
âHey,â he says, voice low and gentle. âBreathe. Weâll figure it out.â
You donât answer right away, eyes still locked on the monitor where two flickering heartbeats pulse in rhythm.
He kisses your forehead, slow and reassuring. âWeâll go one diaper at a time. One bottle at a time. One late-night rocking session at a time. Weâre gonna be okay.â
Your lip trembles. âAre we?â
He smiles, brushing your hair back from your forehead. âIâm not lettinâ you do this alone. Youâre stuck with me, baby. Me, and the two little monsters we made.â
You laugh wetly, a mix of shock and affection tangled in your chest. He leans down and kisses you againâcheek, then jaw, then templeâbefore turning to look back at the screen.
And in the glow of that monitor, with two tiny heartbeats tapping out the rhythm of your future, Atsumu squeezes your hand and whispers:
âTheyâve already got the best mom in the world. The restâll be easy.â
You sit up slightly and reach for him, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him into a hug, your chin resting against his shoulder. âThank you,â you whisper, voice thick with emotion. âI needed to hear that.â
hi i LOVE ur writing sm!! i look forward to pretty much every single one of ur posts, ur super talented :)
do you think you could do an akaashi x insomniac!reader? akaashi is known for overthinking and stuff so tbh i think his anxiety might make him stay awake sometimes, but prob not full blown insomnia. i js think a oneshot of him helping reader or maybe just the two of them hanging out super late one night because neither of them can get any sleep (maybe college!au where heâs stressing about his classes? or could be just volleyball related. whatever works for you!).
maybe it could be pre-relationship too. like they might be friends then reader sees him active on some social media and decides to text him to hang out and they get super close after this night. again, whatever works for u!!
omgg my heart thank you đ©â€ïž Your words mean so much to me đ„č
I think I hit all the boxes, I hope you enjoy <333

The clock blinked 2:47AM in soft digital blue, casting a dim glow that painted the walls of your dorm room in slow, pulsing light. You stared at it from where you lay on your back, eyes wide open, blanket pulled up to your chin like it would somehow coax sleep into settling over your body. It didnât.
It never did.
Insomnia was a loyal companion. Even on nights when your limbs were heavy and your mind felt worn thin, your thoughts refused to settle. They danced along the edge of reason, hyper-fixating on things that didnât matter: words you said three days ago, the shape of clouds you saw that afternoon, the persistent question of whether you locked the door. A quiet ache had formed behind your eyes from sheer exhaustion, but sleep wouldnât come.
You turned over, grabbed your phone off the nightstand. No new messages. Just a faint glow from the charging screen illuminating your tired face.
Then, a notification.
akaashi_keiji posted to his story
You tapped it open without thinking. A dim photo of a laptop lit up against a pile of books and a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold. The caption read: 2AM is a perfectly reasonable hour to still be working, right?
You stared at it. Your fingers hovered.
Then you sent a message.
you: you up up?
The reply was almost instant.
akaashi: Unfortunately.
you: Wanna hang? Canât sleep and you look like you need a break.
A beat passed. The dots wavered, stopped. Thenâ
akaashi: Give me 5.
--
Akaashi showed up at your door at exactly 3:03AM. Hoodie pulled over his head, dark sweats clinging to the chill of the night, his hair mussed like heâd run his hands through it too many times. His eyes were tired but alert, flickering with that same sharpness he always carriedâlike he was cataloging everything, even now.
You stepped aside without saying a word. He entered just as quietly, slipping off his shoes and placing his bag beside your desk with a soft thud. He dropped to the floor beside your bed with a sigh that seemed to deflate the weight on his shoulders.
âRough night?â you asked gently, perching on the edge of your mattress.
âI have a presentation next week, three deadlines, and Bokuto keeps texting me motivational memes like itâs going to fix my GPA.â
You laughed under your breath. âIt wonât.â
âExactly.â
The quiet that followed wasnât awkward. The hum of your mini fridge and the occasional creak of pipes running through the dorm added to the low ambience of sleeplessness. You looked down at him, his knees pulled up slightly, arms draped over them, like he didnât know how to get comfortable in his own skin.
âWanna watch something?â
He shook his head. âToo much noise.â
âRead?â
âAlready tried. Canât focus.â
âLie on the floor and stare at the ceiling until we disassociate?â
He glanced up at you with deadpan humor. âHonestly, that sounds ideal.â
You grabbed a second pillow and tossed it to the floor beside him. He didnât hesitate. His body uncurled, long and lean as he stretched out beside your bed, head cradled in the fluff of borrowed comfort.
You joined him moments later, lying back so the ceiling filled your view. Pale shadows danced above you, shapes warped by passing cars and the swaying leaves outside the window. The ceiling fan ticked rhythmically above.
âYou get this often?â he asked softly, voice barely above a whisper.
âYeah,â you replied, your voice matching his. âLike... more nights than not. It just doesnât stop. My brain, I mean."
Akaashi sighed, breath feathering the space between you. âMine too. Itâs like it waits until I have to sleep to start racing.â
You turned your head, studying the outline of his profile in the glow from your desk lamp. The slope of his nose, the delicate curve of his lashes, the soft press of his lips.
âSo whyâd you come?â
He was quiet for a moment. âBecause you asked. And I figured... maybe itâd be better to not be alone with it.â
You nodded, the pillow rustling beneath your cheek. âYeah.â
Minutes passed in silence. He turned to face you, and you mirrored the movement. The two of you laying side by side, not quite touching, breaths moving in rhythm.
âWe could do this again,â you whispered. âIf you ever canât sleep. You could just... come over.â
His gaze didnât waver. âI think Iâd like that.â
At 3:57AM, you both fell asleep.
Shoulders brushing. Minds quiet. The night finally letting you rest.
Two months had passed, and despite every rational part of you screaming that this was a terrible idea, you had found yourself tangled up in a routine that made it impossible to stop.
Atsumu had become a habitâone that was filthy, consuming, and utterly reckless. The secrecy of it all only made it worse. Late nights, locked doors, hushed whispers, and rough hands in dark rooms. You hated him. He pissed you off. And yet, here you were, again, back in his bed, completely at his mercy.
Your thighs trembled, muscles tight with anticipation as you gripped the sheets, your breath coming in sharp, desperate gasps as his mouth worked you open. Wet, hot, relentless.
"Fuck, Tsumuâ" your voice broke as his tongue flicked over your clit, teasing, taunting, making you feel like you were unraveling at the seams. Your fingers tangled into his messy blonde hair, pulling him closer, but the bastard hardly needed the encouragement.
He was devouring you.
He hummed against you, sending a delicious shiver through your core. Atsumu lived for thisâfor the way you twisted beneath him, for the way you couldn't stop yourself from falling apart in his mouth. His grip on your thighs tightened, spreading you wider, giving him full access to ruin you.
"Missed me, huh?" he murmured between slow, deliberate strokes, his voice thick with amusement.
You wanted to smack that smugness off of him, to snap back with something sharp and cutting, but when his tongue pushed inside, any semblance of thought vanished.
"Oh, fuckâ"
His chuckle was dark, pleased, vibrating against your sensitive skin. "That's it."
You should have kicked him in the face. Should have. But all you could do was arch, pressing yourself closer, giving in to the intensity, letting him take whatever he wantedâbecause fuck, you wanted it too.
The pleasure built fast, coiling tight in your stomach, every nerve burning with overstimulation. He knew exactly what he was doing, and worse, he enjoyed it. Enjoyed keeping you on edge. Enjoyed the messy, breathless moans spilling from your lips, the helpless way you moved against him.
Atsumu was playing you like a damn game, and he was winning.
"Tsumuâ" you gasped, back bowing off the mattress, hands fisting into the sheets. Your thighs shook, dangerously close to clamping around his head, but he wouldnât let youâhis grip was iron.
"Let go," he murmured, his voice rough with hunger, his tongue swirling slow and deep, his lips wrapping around your clit and sucking.
And that was it.
The tension snapped.
A sharp cry tore from your throat as you shattered, pleasure crashing over you in hot, violent waves. Blinding, overwhelming, too much. Your body locked up, then trembled, your release hitting you so hard you nearly saw stars.
Atsumu groaned against you, his fingers digging into your hips as he licked you through it, his tongue still fucking teasing, dragging out every aftershock until you were whimpering, too sensitive to bear it.
Your body felt like liquid, your limbs useless, your mind still floating in the aftermath when the bed shifted. Through half-lidded, hazy eyes, you watched as Atsumu sat up, wiping the back of his hand across his mouth, golden eyes dark, hooded with satisfaction.
He was so fucking pleased with himself.
"Goddamn," he muttered, voice thick with satisfaction as he reached for the condom on the nightstand, rolling it on with practiced ease. "Ya look so good when ya come."
You barely had time to glare at him beforeâ
The front door swung open.
Your entire body froze.
"Oi, 'Tsumu! You home?"
Fucking Osamu.
Atsumu cursed, already moving, his reflexes sharp as hell as he grabbed your wrist and yanked you off the bed. Your half-fogged brain barely caught up before you were being shoved toward the only hiding place availableâ
Under his damn bed.
You scrambled beneath it just as Osamuâs footsteps approached the room, your skin still burning, every nerve still buzzing from your orgasm. Still fucking naked.
And worse? It was disgusting under here.
A layer of dust clung to the floor, a few stray socks shoved against the far wallâprobably unwashedâand your stomach turned when your elbow knocked into a bottle of lotion next to what was clearly a magazine filled with dirty pictures.
Oh, my god.
Your jaw clenched in horrified realization, but there was no time to react because above you, Atsumu was scrambling.
You heard the distinct sound of fabric being yanked as he snatched the nearest shirt off the floor, shoving it over his head in record time. The bedsprings groaned as he moved, no doubt trying to cover his raging hard-on with a blanket before his brother walked in.
"Yeah, I'm here. What d'ya want?" Atsumu called, his voice just barely holding its usual casual edge.
From your position on the goddamn floor, your heart hammered, breath caught in your throat.
This was a fucking disaster.
Osamu stepped inside, his gaze immediately narrowing in suspicion as he took in the sight of Atsumu sitting stiffly on the bed, a blanket haphazardly draped over his lap, hair ruffled, and his shirt clearly thrown on in a panic.
"What are you doing?" Osamu asked, crossing his arms, his tone carrying the weight of deep skepticism.
Atsumu floundered for a response. "Uhâjustânappinâ."
Osamu raised a brow, his eyes flickering to the blanket, the slight tension in Atsumuâs posture, the way his twin wouldnât meet his gaze. Slowly, a look of realizationâfollowed by deep, profound disgustâsettled over his face.
"Oh, gross." Osamu took a step back like heâd been personally offended. "The bathroom exists for a reason, ya know."
Atsumuâs eyes widened in horror. "What? No! Thatâs notâ"
"Dude, I donât wanna know!" Osamu cut him off, throwing up a hand. "I walked in on ya once when we were kids and I still havenât recovered. I ainât doing this again."
Atsumu groaned, dragging a hand down his face. "I wasnât jackinâ off, dumbass!"
Osamu, looking entirely unconvinced, took another step toward the door. "Hey, look, I donât care what ya do in hereâjust let me know when youâre done and Iâll come back." His lip curled in mild disgust before he turned and left, shutting the door behind him.
The front door clicked closed a moment later, signaling that Osamu had left the house.
Silence.
You let out a breath you hadnât realized youâd been holding before crawling out from under the bed, glaring at Atsumu as you brushed dust and questionable particles off your skin.
"That," you said, voice flat, "was humiliating. And disgusting. Can you vacuum under your bed once in a while? I think I inhaled ten years' worth of filth."
You plucked a lint ball from your hair in disgust, shaking it off your fingers as Atsumu flopped dramatically onto the mattress with a groan.
"Not my fault ya had to go crawlinâ under there," he shot back, smirking despite himself. "Bet ya got real acquainted with my side of the world, huh?"
You scowled. "I got real acquainted with the fact that you're a goddamn slob."
Atsumu scoffed, propping himself up on his elbows. "Ya got outta there alive, didnât ya? No harm done."
You folded your arms, leveling him with a hard stare. "Listen, that was way too close. We need to be more careful."
Atsumu hummed, tapping his fingers against his stomach in thought before flashing that infuriating smirk. "We could always get a motel."
You snorted, shaking your head. "And be seen in public with you? Not a chance."
Atsumu laughed, but there was something too satisfied in the way he looked at you, eyes dark and knowing. "Talkinâ a lotta shit for someone who just came on my tongue, sweetheart."
Your breath hitched, heat crawling up your neck at the way he said it, like he was ready for another round.
And judging by the way his gaze dropped to your still-naked body, he was.
Atsumu sat up, moving toward you, fingers skimming over your thigh, his intent crystal clear. "C'mon, we still got time."
You caught his wrist before he could get any further, leveling him with a pointed glare. "No. I need to shower."
His smirk deepened. "You need an extra set of hands?"
"I'd rather stick forks in my eyes."
Atsumu laughed as you stormed off toward the bathroom, ignoring the heat lingering in your stomach, ignoring the fact that a tiny, stupid part of you was tempted.
The moment you shut the door behind you, you exhaled sharply, bracing yourself against the sink as you stared at your reflection. Your face was still flushed, your lips swollen from his kisses, and your neckâGod, your neckâwas littered with faint marks that were dangerously close to being noticeable. Scowling, you turned away, peeling off the remnants of the night before and stepping into the shower.
The warm water was a relief, soothing your aching muscles, washing away the sweat, the scent of Atsumu, the overwhelming reminder of what had just happened. But no matter how much soap you scrubbed into your skin, you couldnât erase the feeling of himâhis hands gripping your hips, his mouth on you, the way he had looked at you like he knew heâd ruined you.
You groaned, pressing your forehead against the tiled wall. What the hell were you doing?
This was supposed to be a one-time thing. A mistake that you could brush off, pretend it never happened. But instead, it had become a habit, a reckless, intoxicating cycle that neither of you seemed willing to break.
By the time you stepped out, towel-drying your hair, you dressed quickly, shoving your clothes on with every intention of getting the hell out of there before anything else happened.
You cracked open the door, listening for any signs of Osamuâs return, but the house was quiet. Atsumu was probably still in his room, lounging around like he hadnât just forced you into a near-death situation under his bed.
With careful steps, you grabbed your bag and slipped out of his house, the cool night air hitting your skin as you finally felt like you could breathe.
That was, until you ran right into Osamu, nearly sending a bag of gas station snacks flying from his hands.
He looked like he had been killing time, dressed casually in a hoodie and sweats, the plastic bag in his grasp rustling as a bottle of tea and a pack of chips shifted inside. His hair was slightly mussed from the evening air, his expression easygoing at first, clearly not expecting to bump into you.
"Oh, hey," he greeted, his tone friendly, his expression relaxed at first. "Didnât expect to see ya âround here."
You cursed internally, forcing a casual smile. "Yeah! Uhâjust had some errands to run."
Osamu tilted his head slightly. "Errands? Thought ya lived on the other end of town."
Your brain scrambled for an answer, anything that wasnât oh, just fucking your brother senseless and then hiding under his bed like a cockroach.
"Uhâdentist appointment."
Osamu blinked. Once. Twice.
"At this time?"
You hesitated, painfully aware that it was nine at night, and absolutely no sane dentist operated at this hour. "Yeah, my dentist is a night owl," you blurted out before you could stop yourself.
His eyebrows pulled together, his expression shifting from friendly curiosity to mild confusion. "...A night owl. Right."
You could feel the weight of his slowly dawning suspicion as he took another look at youâat the way you were a little too quick to answer, at how your shirt looked slightly ruffled, at the fact that you were clearly in a rush to leave.
Abort. Abort. Abort.
Before he could press you for details that would only dig you deeper into this stupid-ass lie, you rushed out, "What about you? What are you doing out here?"
Osamu sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Just gettinâ some air. My brother's bein' gross. Well⊠you would know."
Your entire body seized up, but you forced a light, slightly awkward laugh, as if that wasnât the most terrifying statement youâd heard all day. "Ha. Yeah."
The silence that followed was excruciating, stretching far too long as Osamu watched you, his gaze weighing heavier by the second. He wasnât stupid. The Miya twins might have been frustrating, but they werenât clueless. He was piecing things together, connecting dots that you desperately needed to keep apart.
Time to go.
"Okay, bye! See you at practice!" you said a little too quickly, spinning on your heel and scurrying away before he could say anything else.
Your heart pounded against your ribs as you walked, resisting the urge to sprint as you put as much distance between yourself and Osamu as possible.
As soon as you were far enough, you yanked your phone out of your pocket, typing out a single text to Atsumu:
Find a motel.
Barcelona was always golden in the evening.
Sunlight spilled between buildings like warm syrup, painting the cobblestones in hazy orange light, alive with motion and music and voices raised in too many languages to count. The streets pulsed with energy, and Oikawa moved through it all like he belonged thereâbecause he did.
You walked beside him, fingers laced loosely through his, sunglasses pushed up into your hair as you studied a nearby plaza, smiling at the crowd. You'd only stopped for a quick drink before heading home, but somehow a ten-minute rest turned into lingering.
Which was exactly how it happened.
He came out of nowhereâtall, handsome in that slightly too-smooth way, and a native speaker who clearly wasnât shy about using his charm. He was friendly, casual, and youâbeing youâwere nothing but warm in return. Oikawa was used to it. You made friends everywhere. Waiters, baristas, strangers on trains. He wasn't usually the jealous type.
Usually.
But today? You were laughing a little too softly. Tilting your head a little too far. And the guy? Oh, he was leaning in like he had a damn chance.
Oikawa didn't say anything right away. He just sipped his drink and watched, sunglasses shielding the slow burn building behind his eyes. Your fingers were still in his, but even that wasnât grounding him tonight. Not when the guy started complimenting your accent. Not when he gestured toward the nearest bar with an easy smile and said,
"If you're looking for local recommendations, I could show you a few places."
That was when you felt it.
Oikawa's hand tightened slightly around yours, his thumb no longer stroking circles over your skin but now still, firm.
You turned toward him innocently, blinking up at his too-perfect face with a feigned sweetness that you knew drove him insane.
"Tooru," you said, voice syrupy, "he says he can show us some local spots. Isn't that nice?"
Oikawa set his glass down with a clink, but instead of stepping in front of youâhe stepped behind. His arms slid smoothly around your waist, his chest pressing flush against your back as he dipped his head low, his lips brushing just below your ear when he spoke.
"Youâre playing dangerous games," he whispered, voice like silk and warning all at once. The way his breath fanned across your skin made you shiver, your back unconsciously arching into him. He chuckled against your neck, low and warm, like he knew exactly what he was doing.
The guy took a half-step back, visibly caught off-guard now as his eyes darted between you and the very obviously possessive arms wrapped around your waist.
Oikawa turned his head, resting his chin on your head, and finally spoke aloudâhis tone still pleasant, still polite, but tinged with something sharper.
"Oh, you didnât know?" he said, gaze locking with the manâs. "Sheâs very much taken. Tragic, I know. Don't worry though, I've lived here for years."
The guy blinked, awkward laugh faltering. "Ahâright. My mistake. Sorry, man. Just being friendly."
"Of course," Oikawa said with a smile, one that didnât reach his eyes. "Happens all the time." The guy took the hint and left, vanishing into the crowd, and you finally let the smile stretch fully across your face.
"You're so dramatic," you hummed, stepping closer, chest brushing his as you leaned into his space.
Oikawa narrowed his eyes, even as his arms slid around your waist.
"Do I really need to wear a sign?" he muttered.
You batted your lashes. "Maybe. Or just keep doing that thing where your voice gets all cold. It's kind of hot."
His brows lifted.
"You're doing it on purpose."
You grinned. "Maybe."
Oikawa sighed, burying his face in your neck, lips brushing the skin there.
"You're going to be the death of me."
"Mmm. But Iâll make it fun."
You didnât knock.
The door slammed open against the wall with a thud, reverberating through the quiet of the gym offices as you stepped in like a storm on legs. Iwaizumi barely looked up from his tablet, but the hard flicker of his eyes said everything.
âYou want to tell me what the hell this is?â You threw the clipboard down onto his deskâhard enough that the pens rattled.
He set the tablet down slowly, deliberately, like he was resisting the urge to match your energy. âYouâll have to be more specific. I get a lot of aggressive paperwork these days.â
You narrowed your eyes. âThe new conditioning plan. The one that overemphasizes lower-body strength for half the defensive lineâincluding Yaku, who, if you remember, has two prior knee injuries and doesnât need another one.â
âItâs a generalized strength cycle,â he said, already starting to sound annoyed. âAnd Yakuâs cleared. His knees arenât glass.â
You leaned forward, voice clipped. âAnd heâs cleared with a note that says he needs flexibility emphasis. Youâre pushing reps on a recovering joint. Thatâs not generalized, thatâs reckless.â
His jaw ticked. âIâm not pushing anything he canât handle. Heâs an elite athlete, not a porcelain doll.â
You scoffed, shaking your head, pacing a few steps across the room. âJesus, Hajime, sometimes I think you forget youâre not just coaching weight numbersâyouâre managing people. People with injuries, with thresholds. If he gets benched because you want him to hit a personal best on a squatââ
ââThen thatâs on me,â Iwaizumi cut in, standing now, matching your gaze, his voice sharp. âNot on you.â
You turned slowly, cold fury in your expression. âYouâre damn right it wonât be on me. Because Iâm not signing off on that.â
He stepped around the desk. âYou donât get to unilaterally veto a team decision.â
âYou donât get to override medical flags like youâre some goddamn authority on joint physiology.â You jabbed a finger into his chest. âYour job is to keep them strong. Mine is to keep them playing. If theyâre hurt, no one wins.â
The tension hung thick between you both, barely bridled, mouths drawn tight like you were both holding back everything you really wanted to say.
âGod, youâre infuriating,â he muttered under his breath.
âRight back at you.â
You turned sharply, storming to the door. You needed air. You needed to not strangle a nationally-ranked strength coach in the middle of an Olympic facility.
But when you threw the door open, two bodies fell inward with a crash.
Bokuto hit the ground first, limbs flailing like heâd just been knocked out of a tree. Atsumu came next, barely catching himself on the wall, eyes wide as he winced dramatically.
âOwâshitââ
âUh⊠hi?â Bokuto grinned sheepishly from the floor. âWe were just⊠stretching.â
You stared down at them, blinking once. Then twice.
âStretching,â you repeated flatly.
âIn the hallway,â Atsumu added quickly, brushing himself off. âGotta stay limber, you would know Doc.â
Your glare couldâve turned them to ash.
Behind you, Iwaizumi groaned under his breath.
âIâm going to kill both of you,â you muttered.
âNo need!â Bokuto said, already scrambling back. âWe were just leaving! Right, âTsumu?â
âYup. Definitely not eavesdropping. Totally respect privacy.â
They both darted off like startled dogs, leaving behind only the faint sound of snickering down the hall.
You didnât say another word. You just stepped out, slammed the door behind you, and willed your heart to stop pounding through your ribs.
â
The door had barely stopped vibrating when Iwaizumi let out a slow, audible sigh. He turned back to his desk, ran a hand through his hair, and stared blankly at the clipboard youâd left behind like it was personally mocking him.
God, you were impossible.
And you were right.
He wasnât about to admit thatânot to your face, not in front of a pair of eavesdropping idiots, and definitely not when your voice still echoed in his head like a challenge he hadnât yet figured out how to win.
âYo, Iwa.â
Iwaizumi turned, slowly, to see Atsumu leaning against the gym wall with all the subtlety of a spotlight. Bokuto was standing beside him, whispering something that earned him a smack on the arm.
âWhat,â Iwaizumi snapped. Not a question. A warning.
Atsumu raised his hands innocently. âNothinâ. Just, uh⊠wonderinâ if weâre still runninâ through defensive drills. Or if you need a minute to, yâknow, recover.â
âIâm fine.â
âYou sure?â Bokuto grinned, bouncing slightly on the balls of his feet. ââCause that sounded brutal. Like, she murdered you with words.â
Iwaizumi narrowed his eyes. âDo either of you want to do ten extra sets of burpees?â
âShutting up!â Atsumu said quickly, throwing a thumbs-up before jogging off toward the court.
Bokuto lingered a second longer. âHey,â
Iwaizumi looked up again.
âSheâs not wrong. Yakuâs been wincing during cooldowns.â
Then he jogged off too, leaving Iwaizumi alone with nothing but the echo of your voice and the weight of the truth.
He grunted under his breath, shaking his head as he walked toward the training area, jaw tight. His athletes were waiting. The whistle was in his hand. Heâd deal with you later.
But even as he barked out the next drill set, his mind drifted back to the fire in your voice, the way you jabbed a finger into his chest like you werenât afraid of anythingânot even him.
And for some goddamn reason, that wasnât just infuriating.
It was distracting.
Worse: it was getting harder to ignore.

Atsumu Miya was a performer.
On the court, in front of a camera, with strangers or friendsâhe knew how to put on a show. He thrived on reaction, on praise, on the high that came from being watched and admired. And in bed, it was no different.
He liked it when you were loud.
When you praised him with gasps and whimpers, when your nails dragged down his back and your voice cracked saying his name. When your legs trembled, when your thighs clenched, when you saidâagain and againâthat no one made you feel like he did.
But one night, in the quiet hush of your shared bedroom, you laughedâsoft, teasingâand said something he couldnât let go.
âYouâre good, Tsumu,â you purred, voice sugary sweet, brushing your lips against his ear. âBut I donât think youâve ever made me scream.â
He went still. Blinked once. And then he smiled.
Not just any smile. That one. The cocky, infuriating, competitive smile he only wore when he took something personally.
âOh, is that a challenge?â he asked, voice deceptively light.
You shrugged, smirking. âIâm just sayingâŠâ
And that was how you found yourself like this.
Laid on your side, one leg lifted and draped over his shoulder, the other pinned beneath his weight. His hand was anchored under your knee, firm and steady, keeping you stretched open for him, keeping you exposed and exactly where he wanted you.
He was already deep inside you, hips grinding in slow, devastating strokes that had your breath stuttering and your mind unraveling. The angle? Perfect. He hit that spotâyour spotâover and over, like he had it memorized, like he could find it with his eyes closed.
But what got you mostâmore than the rhythm, more than the stretchâwas the way he watched you.
Eyes locked on your face. Focused. Determined.
He wasnât teasing. He wasnât playful. He was proving something.
âYâre not gonna be able to talk when Iâm done,â he muttered, voice thick with effort, lips brushing against your jaw. âGonna make you scream so loud, the whole fuckinâ neighborhoodâs gonna know.â
You gasped, your hand flailing to grip the sheets as his cock hit that spot again, again, again. Every thrust angled perfectly, timed like he was syncing it to the beat of your pulse, to the rhythm of your gasps.
Your voice cracked. âT-Tsumuââ
âOh, now yâcanât talk?â he chuckled, dark and pleased, hand dragging down to press your belly. âThought yâhad somethinâ smart to say.â
Your leg trembled on his shoulder. Your body jolted, overwhelmed by the way he kept striking that same devastating spot inside you. It was blindingâwhite-hot heat coiling tighter and tighter, an ache that started deep in your belly and spread like fire under your skin. Every thrust sent sparks shooting through your nerves, your muscles drawn so tight you thought you might snap. You couldn't think. Couldn't breathe.
The only thing you could feel was himâAtsumu, filling you completely, dragging you closer to the edge with every roll of his hips. Your walls fluttered around him, desperate and pulsing, your vision starting to blur at the edges. Tears prickled in the corners of your eyes, pleasure cresting into something dizzying, something raw.
And still, he didnât let up.
His pace quickened, hips snapping forward with more force, each movement sending a shockwave through your body. The pressure was unbearable, unbearableâand yet, you craved more. You needed more. Your hands clawed uselessly at the bedspread, searching for something, anything, to hold onto.
âSay it,â he growled, voice right by your ear now, his breath hot, cock still driving into you at that perfect, devastating angle. âSay whoâs makinâ you scream.â
You barely managed it.
âAtsumuâoh my god, Atsumuââ
You shattered.
Your cry echoed off the walls, louder than youâd ever been before. It ripped from your chest, raw and helpless, your entire body locking up. Back arched, fingers clawing at the sheets, thighs quivering violently as your orgasm tore through you like lightning. Raw. Messy. Loud. It didnât stopâwave after wave crashing through your limbs, pulsing around him with a force that left you sobbing.
Atsumu groaned, curse muffled into your neck as he fucked you through it, hips stuttering before he came hard, hot and deep inside you, his own orgasm pulled from him with a strangled moan. He rode out every last pulse of it, buried deep, clinging to your thigh like his anchor.
He didnât move right away.
Just stayed there, your leg still draped over his shoulder, chest heaving against the back of your thigh, his hand still gripping you like he didnât want to let go. His face nuzzled into the curve of your chest, lips ghosting over the swell of your breast as he pressed soft, open-mouthed kisses thereâgentle and slow, a quiet contrast to the way heâd just wrecked you.
When he finally leaned back to look at you, his smile was smug, but his eyes were warmâstaring down at the wrecked mess he made.
âStill think I canât make you scream?â
You didnât answer. You couldnât. You were too far goneâeyelids fluttering, mouth parted, body twitching with the aftershocks.
And as he looked down at the wrecked mess of youâeyes glassy, hair clinging to your forehead, body limp and tremblingâAtsumu realized something.
This position?
Yeah. It was his favorite now.
(This is connected to another drabble I made in my series 'Unreq Love' so here is context if you'd like the full experience: Oikawa & Bonus)
--
The gym is quiet.
Not the kind of quiet that comes from peace, but the kind that settles like dust in the cornersâheavy, still, waiting. The lights are off, but the late afternoon sun filters through the high windows, painting the floor in long strokes of gold. The volleyball net hangs limply between its poles, no longer taut with purpose. There are scuff marks everywhere, like memories burned into the woodâghosts of spikes, dives, the relentless rhythm of ambition. The echoes of laughter, shouting, the rhythmic squeak of sneakers still seem to hum beneath the silence, like the gym itself refuses to forget.
You spot him immediately.
Oikawa stands near the back wall, his figure backlit by sunlight, facing the net with his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his jacket. His shoulders are drawn tight, his posture still and unreadable. He doesnât move when you step in, but he knows itâs you. No one walks into a gym like you doâespecially not after hours. Especially not him.
You take your time crossing the floor. Your sneakers squeak a little, but he doesnât flinch. The air smells like dust and floor polish, and something sharper underneathâlike endings. Like goodbye.
âI figured Iâd find you here,â you say, coming to a stop beside him.
He huffs, a soft, humorless sound. âYou always do.â
âWell,â you shrug, âsomeoneâs gotta make sure youâre not brooding yourself into an existential crisis.â
Finally, he glances at you. Thereâs a tiredness in his eyes, something far quieter than the version of him everyone else sees. You know it well. Youâve seen it before, behind locker room doors, in the quiet of bus rides home, in the way his voice would sometimes crack when no one was supposed to hear. He looks like someone who's been chasing a shadow for too long and just realized it was always out of reach.
âI thought maybe if I stayed long enough, itâd feel different,â he murmurs, gaze shifting back to the net. âBut it still hurts.â
âOf course it hurts,â you reply, arms crossing over your chest. âYou gave everything to this place. You bled for it. You obsessed over every drill, every stat sheet, every match. Losing was never going to be painless.â
He chuckles, and itâs low and bitter. âWe didnât even make it to nationals. What was the point of all of it?â
You frown, nudging him lightly with your elbow. âTooru, you seriously need to get your head out of your ass.â
That earns you a sidelong glance, the barest glimmer of amusement.
You soften. âYou werenât just chasing wins. You built something here. A team that trusted you. A legacy. People are going to remember youânot because of a scoreboard, but because you made them better. You made them believe. You pushed them to be more.â
He doesnât respond right away, but his jaw tics. He always does that when heâs trying not to feel something. The weight of three years rests on his shoulders like armor that no longer serves him.
âAnd what about you?â he asks suddenly, turning to face you more fully. âYou stuck by me through everything. Even when I didnât deserve it.â
You scoff, leaning back on your heels. âDonât get all sentimental on me now, Tooru.â
âIâm serious.â
âSo am I. You think I followed you around like a lost puppy for three years because I enjoyed your tantrums and diva moments?â
A small smile tugs at the corner of his lips. âMaybe a little?â
âGod, youâre insufferable.â You shake your head, but your voice loses its edge. âI stayed because you were worth it. Because youâre more than volleyball. You always have been. Even when you were too busy being dramatic to see it.â
The silence that falls between you is thick with years of shared glances, missed chances, and words left unspoken. The light shifts across the floor, turning everything gold like the last flicker of a day that tried its best.
You donât mean to say it. Not like this. Not when heâs already unraveling.
You glance at him again, then down at your hands. Your voice comes out low, more to yourself than to him. âGod, I canât avoid this, can I?â
But itâs been sitting in your chest for too long, and something about the way the light hits his faceâthe rawness there, the quiet acheâmakes it impossible to keep in.
âI love you.â
His head snaps toward you, eyes wide. â...What?â
You inhale slowly, like thatâll steady the thundering in your chest. âI said I love you. Iâve been in love with you since the moment we met. Since you made that dumb joke during orientation and somehow managed to trip over your own feet.â
Your voice wavers slightly, but you push through. âI thought it was just a crush. Something stupid. But it never went away. Through every win, every loss, every time you walked into a room and lit it up like you didnât even knowâthrough all of it, I kept falling. I knew every version of youâthe charming captain, the insecure overthinker, the friend who stayed behind after practice to help pick up stray ballsâand I still fell.â
You swallow hard, heart aching in your chest. âAnd I wasnât going to tell you. I didnât think I had the right to. I thought Iâd be a distraction, or worseâjust another person youâd feel responsible for. But standing here with you, watching you look at that net like it still owes you something... I couldnât walk away without telling you. Because itâs not just about volleyball. Not for me. Not when it comes to you.â
You take a step back, the burn of embarrassment creeping up your neck, your voice quieter now. âYou donât have to say anything. I just needed to get it out of my system.â
You turn, ready to bolt before you make a bigger fool of yourselfâbut before your foot even hits the line, his hand wraps around your wrist.
You freeze.
His grip isnât desperate, but itâs firmâanchoring. When you look back, heâs already thereâcloser than you thought, close enough that you can see the flicker of emotion dancing in his eyes. His breath is uneven. So is yours.
His gaze lingers on your face, moving from your eyes to your mouth, then back again, as if trying to piece together something he shouldâve realized long ago. You see it hit him all at onceâthe memories, the missed moments, the way youâve always been right there. His shoulders loosen like something inside himâs finally cracking open.
His hand moves slowly to your face, tentative but gentle, and his thumb brushes against your cheek like itâs something fragile heâs afraid to break. His fingers tremble just slightly, and the warmth of his palm grounds you in place.
âHow did I never see you?â he breathes, and itâs not a question meant for you. Itâs a confession all on its own, shaped by regret and wonder.
Then he kisses you.
Soft at first, hesitantâlike heâs asking permission.
Then againâdeeper, fuller, with the kind of reverence that comes from finally seeing someone whoâs been standing in the light all along. His hand curves behind your neck, the other still holding your wrist like he's afraid youâll vanish if he lets go.
And for once, Oikawa doesnât say a single word.
He just pulls you closer, holds you like youâre the only thing keeping him grounded, and lets the silence speak for itself.
In that quiet, there is no loss. No disappointment. No game that slipped through trembling fingers.
Thereâs just you.
And itâs enough.
Youâre not sure when it started. Maybe sometime last week, maybe even before thatâbut the switch flipped quietly, without warning. One minute you were just a little tired, a little bloated, trying to get comfortable with the weird limbo that is second trimester pregnancy. And the next?
You were staring at your husband like he was carved from marble. Like every movement of his arms under that damn fitted black t-shirt was offensive. Like the way his voice dipped when he answered a work call should be punishable by law.
You hadnât touched him in daysâpartly because you were tired, partly because the two of you were still adjusting to the wave of appointments and vitamins and new routines. But now, now your skin feels too tight for your body. You canât stop thinking about his hands. His stupid smirk. The stretch of muscle across his stomach when he reaches for the top shelf. You keep shifting in your chair at the kitchen table, thighs pressed together as you half-watch him move around the apartment, trying not to combust every time he bends to grab something or stretches his arms over his head like a personal attack.
You're four months pregnant, and your hormones are holding you hostage.
But how the hell are you supposed to say that? Hey honey, I want you so bad itâs making me delusional? Youâre turning me on just by walking?
You'd rather burst into flames.
So instead, you sit quietly, pretending to scroll through your phone while your eyes flicker up to him every ten seconds like a heat-seeking missile. Youâre trying to be subtle. You really are.
Unfortunately for you, Kuroo Tetsurou has known you long enough to spot a mood shift from fifty paces awayâand heâs been watching. Smugly. Patiently. Waiting.
The first hint that youâve been caught comes when he strolls by with a bowl of chopped strawberries, casually plucks one from the bowl, and leans over to offer it to you without a word. Youâre caught off guard, lips parting automatically as he feeds it to you. Your teeth graze the tip of his fingers, just barely, and his lips twitch.
He doesnât move. Just watches you chew. Slow. Calm.
Then, in a voice dipped in dry amusement: âYouâve been staring at me for twenty minutes.â
You blink, swallow. âI havenât.â
âMm,â he hums, straightening up. âSure you havenât.â
You grit your teeth. Heat burns your cheeks. You can already feel the spiral beginning.
He doesnât press. Just walks around the kitchen like he didnât just call you out for mentally undressing him on the spot. His movements are so casual itâs infuriating. He grabs a dish towel, wipes down the counter, opens the fridge, all while your brain is on fire.
You stare down at your phone, eyes unfocused, and will yourself to get it together. You just need to act normal. Youâre not gonna combust. Itâs fine. Itâs just hormones.
âYou okay?â he asks, voice far too neutral. You glance up. Heâs leaning against the counter now, arms crossed over that broad chest, eyebrow lifted in feigned innocence.
âYeah. Why?â
âYouâre flushed.â His head tilts. âYou hot?â
âIâm fine.â
âYou sure?â
You shift in your seat, pressing your knees together. âYes.â
Another pause. Then:
âYou hungry?â
Your eyes shoot to him instinctivelyâand thatâs when you realize he knows. Not just suspects. Not maybe. Knows.
And worse: heâs enjoying it.
Your mouth opens, but no sound comes out. You look away again, hands gripping your phone like it might save you from yourself.
When he crosses the room, you donât even notice until heâs crouching beside your chair, resting one arm on the armrest, the other hand brushing lightly over your thigh. You freeze.
âSweetheart,â he says, voice dipped in syrup, eyes glinting with something dangerous, âyouâve been lookinâ at me like you want to climb me.â
You blink rapidly. âThatâs notââ
âYou sigh every time I stretch.â His fingers trace up to your knee. âYou squirm when I talk. Youâve eaten, slept, and had your iron supplements. So unless thereâs a sudden new strawberry emergencyââ
âTetsuro.â
ââI think,â he murmurs, leaning closer, âthereâs something youâre not saying.â
You bury your face in your hands, groaning into your palms. âThis is so embarrassing.â
He laughs softly, warm breath fanning over your shoulder as he presses a kiss to your temple. âItâs adorable.â
âItâs feral, Tetsu. I feel like a monster.â
âMonsters donât look at me like that,â he says, voice low against your skin. âThey donât whimper every time I bend over.â
You groan louder, but your body leans into him on instinct.
âSay it,â he teases. âCâmon. Say you want me.â
âI hate you.â
âYou want me.â
âIâm four months pregnant and deranged, donât flatter yourself.â
âOh, baby,â he grins, pulling you gently into his lap, âyouâre carrying my kid and horny for me? Iâm the luckiest bastard alive.â
Mortified beyond recovery, you squirm your way out of his lap, muttering something unintelligible as you bolt from the kitchen. Itâs half an attempt to escape, half a desperate grab for your dignity. You make it three steps into the hallway before you hear him laughâlow and knowingâand then feel his hands at your hips.
âWhere dâyou think youâre going?â he murmurs, lips brushing the curve of your ear as he tugs you back against him. âYouâre not getting away from me after saying all that.â
You fumble for a response, but it vanishes the second his hands find the hem of your shirt, fingertips grazing your skin with unbearable slowness. You tilt your head back without thinking, breath catching.
âTetsurouââ
âYeah?â he answers, already kissing down your neck, voice infuriatingly calm. âSay the word, and Iâll stop.â
You donât. You canât.
Instead, your hands find his wrists and guide them higher. You melt into him like wax to flame.
âGood girl,â he breathes against your jaw. âThatâs more like it.â
Before you can catch your breath, he has you gently turned, your back pressing against the hallway wall. His hands settle firmly on your hips, then slide lower, fingers working with a confidence that has your knees buckling. You gasp when he pops the button of your pants, the sound deafening in the quiet space between your bodies.
âTetsurouââ
âShh,â he murmurs, his lips brushing over your collarbone with the lightest graze, voice so low and deliberate it sends a pulse through your spine. His hand dips beneath the waistband of your underwear with a languid slowness, his knuckles dragging along your skin like he wants you to feel everything.
âLet me take care of you, yeah? Youâve been trying so hard to hold it together.â
You inhale sharply as his fingers slide deeper, seeking out the ache youâve been trying to ignore for days. When he finds itâyouâitâs like your body short-circuits. Your breath stutters, hips jolting forward as if your bodyâs been waiting for this exact moment, this exact touch.
His fingers move with maddening precisionâexpert and unhurriedâstroking you in a rhythm that melts the strength from your knees. He presses you harder into the wall, not with force but weight, anchoring you there while your body twists and trembles under his control. His mouth trails along your neck, slow kisses blooming across your pulse point as you gasp, the sound catching in your throat.
"Just relax, sweetheart," he murmurs, his breath hot against your skin, "Let me make it better."
Your hands cling to his arms, fingers digging into his sleeves as your body arches into him. The tension coils tighter and tighter, strung high by weeks of restrained want, the heat of your own embarrassment fueling the need. He murmurs low praise into your skinâgood girl, so soft, so perfect, so fucking sweet like thisâand the words alone nearly undo you.
And when you do come, itâs a quiet, raw thingâyour body trembling in his hold, face tucked against his shoulder, a muffled cry of Tetsurou slipping from your lips like confession. He holds you steady through it, one arm around your waist, the other still curled low, fingers easing you through every last tremor.
When your breathing slows, when the fog begins to lift, his hand gently slips free and he cradles your face, brushing back damp strands of hair with the same fingers that just unraveled you.
âGod, youâre perfect,â he whispers, his forehead resting against yours. âMy gorgeous, needy wife. All mine.â
Your breath comes out in short, shaky bursts, still reeling, still trembling in his hands. âI canât believe Iââ you start, but the words collapse in your throat, too breathless, too flustered to finish.
Tetsurou chuckles softly, and before you can even think about collecting yourself, heâs hooking one arm under your knees and the other behind your back, lifting you with effortless strength.
You yelp, arms flying around his neck as he princess carries you down the hallway, your face burning hot against his shoulder. âTetsuâ! What are you doing?!â
He glances down at you, grin smug, eyes molten. âYou didnât think we were done, did you?â he murmurs, already walking with you in his arms toward the bedroom. His voice is velvet and heat, wrapped around every word, promising more. âIâve got you all night, baby. Youâre not going anywhere.â
The bar was crowdedânot uncomfortably, but just enough that the air pulsed with low music and the warm scent of whiskey and fryer oil. The lights were low, warm and golden, casting soft shadows over tables cluttered with drinks and peeling coaster edges. Glass clinked softly in the background, a lazy rhythm to the Friday night energy building in waves.
You were leaning against the bar, waiting for your drinks, while KyĆtani had ducked away to use the bathroom. Your phone buzzed in your pocket, but you ignored it, eyes on the bartender shaking cocktails two seats down.
Which was, in hindsight, the exact moment the universe decided to test your patience.
âHey there,â came a voice to your leftâslurred, low, and too close. You caught the sour tang of beer on his breath before you saw his face.
You didnât turn immediately. Youâd felt it comingâlike a storm you could smell in the air.
âI been watchinâ you from across the bar,â the man said, a lazy, drunken confidence in his voice. âYou look like you could use some company.â
You exhaled slowly through your nose. âIâm good, thanks.â
He chuckled. âCâmon. Donât be like that. Iâll buy you a drink, sweetheart.â
You turned your head, offering a cool, unimpressed stare. His eyes were glassy, cheeks blotched red from too much alcohol, and his grin was the kind of smarmy that made your skin crawl.
âYou donât wanna do that,â you said flatly.
The guy blinked. âWhat? Buy a pretty girl a drink?â
âNo.â You shifted your weight, voice firm. âHit on someone whoâs taken.â
He raised a brow, like he thought you were bluffing. âTaken? Donât see anyone here. You ditched him already?â
You narrowed your eyes. âYou need to back off.â
But he didnât. Of course he didnât. Men like that never did.
Instead, he laughedâloudly, like heâd just heard the best joke of the night. âRelax, baby. Youâre hot. Iâm just tryinâ to show some appreciation.â
You turned back toward the bar, trying to signal the bartender, but the guy didnât take the hint. You felt him step closer, invading your space. Then his hand brushed your armâtoo familiar, too bold.
That was when you felt it.
The air shifted. Like the pressure dropped.
A presence behind youâheavy, hot, and unmistakable.
KyĆtani.
A shadow passed over the drunk guyâs face, but he didnât turn fast enough.
KyĆtani didnât speak. He didnât posture. He didnât warn.
He just swung.
A blur of movement exploded at your sideâa crack, loud and sharp, followed by the thump of a body hitting the ground. The guy lay sprawled across the scuffed floorboards, groaning, his hand cupping his jaw as shocked silence rippled through the nearby tables.
KyĆtani stood over him, jaw clenched, one hand still curled into a tight fist, his broad chest rising and falling as he stared down at the guy like he was debating whether to throw another punch for good measure.
You didnât flinch. You didnât even blink.
You just looked down at the groaning man and said, with a shrug and a sip of your half-warm drink, âTold you so.â
KyĆtani turned to you, golden eyes burning with residual fury, scanning your face and arms like he needed confirmation you were untouched. âHe touch you?â
âBarely,â you muttered. âHe tried.â
KyĆtani grunted low in his throat, gaze snapping back to the guy on the ground. âYouâre lucky I stopped at one.â
The bartender said nothing. No one did.
You grabbed your second drink off the bar, rolling your eyes. âGuess I need a new gin and tonic now.â
KyĆtani huffed, throwing a protective arm around your shoulder, steering you away from the scene. âLetâs go. I hate this place anyway.â
âYou hate every place.â
âNot true,â he muttered, hand tightening at your waist. âI like the ones where people donât talk to you.â
You laughed under your breath as the two of you disappeared into the cooler night air, KyĆtaniâs hand never leaving you for a second.
And as you walked, he leaned in, voice low and unrepentant.
âNext guy that touches you,â he growled, âIâm breakinâ his ribs.â
You smirked, leaning your head against his shoulder. âI know.â
Hey so I really like your writing. Your fics are so inspiring...! Can I pretty please request a fic about Kita catching Reader off guard with a blunt love confession?? đ I'd love to see what you come up with!
Aw inspiring?!! That is so sweet!! I love that I am what people were for me when I started writing (about 5 years ago!) so never give up and be proud of any work you make!! I hope you enjoy <333

The thing about Kita Shinsuke is that he never does anything without purpose.
He speaks with intention, moves with care, and rarelyâif everâlets emotion get the better of him. He is dependable to a fault, calm even in the most chaotic situations, and as predictable as a rising sun. Which is why, when he turns to you one spring afternoon and says, "Iâm in love with you," you nearly choke on your drink.
The two of you are sitting beneath the shade of a wide camphor tree near the back of the school, where the grass grows a little taller and the breeze feels like a secret only you two share. The breeze is soft, the air warm and sweet with the scent of new blossoms. Youâd come out here to eat lunch togetherâsomething that had become a quiet ritual between you and Kita. No crowds, no noise. Just the two of you, sharing space, swapping stories, occasionally falling into long stretches of silence that never felt awkward. He always brings homemade bento boxes, neatly packed, and you bring snacks or something small to share.
You blink at him, unsure if you heard right. "Sorryâwhat?"
Kita is still looking at you, expression as steady and unreadable as ever. Heâs holding a rice ball in one hand, his bento sitting neatly in his lap. "I said Iâm in love with you."
Thereâs no hesitation. No blush. Just the plain delivery of truthâas if heâs pointing out the weather, or commenting on the quality of the rice today.
You nearly drop the bottle of tea in your hand. "Kita," you breathe, searching his face for a trace of humor or a tell that heâs messing with you. But heâs not. Of course heâs not.
Your heart stutters. "You canât just say things like that out of nowhere, you know."
He tilts his head slightly. "Why not?"
"Becauseâ" You flail for a second, grasping for something clever to say, something to make sense of the heat rising to your cheeks. "Because itâsâsurprising."
Kita hums, thoughtfully chewing. "I didnât think it would be. We spend time together. You bring me pickled plums even when I donât ask. You save the last piece of tamagoyaki for me, even though itâs your favorite. You walk me to the gate every day, even when youâre running late. I thought maybe you felt the same."
You sputter, caught between the instinct to deny and the overwhelming realization that heâs right. You do all those things, and more. You always look for him in a crowded room. You always listen when he speaks, no matter how quiet his voice. You think about him in between classes, after practice, before bed. Heâs right.
He continues, voice soft but sure. "You donât have to say anything right now. I just thought it was time I told you."
And with that, he turns his gaze back to the tree branches swaying above you, like he didnât just tilt your entire world on its axis. He takes another bite of his rice ball, completely composed, like he hadnât just carved a confession into the air and left it hanging between you.
You sit in stunned silence for a moment longer, the breeze tugging gently at your sleeves. Everything feels quieter now. The breeze, the rustling branches, the distant sound of other students laughing in the courtyardâit all fades into a soft, blurred background. Your fingers tighten slightly around the tea bottle in your lap.
You steal a glance at him. Heâs not looking at you. Heâs perfectly calm, patient, and somehow that makes your chest ache more than if heâd confessed with nervous laughter or flushed cheeks. Thereâs no doubt, no need for reassurance. He meant it.
You reach over, plucking a stray leaf from his shoulder. You donât know whyâit just gives your hands something to do.
"Youâre unbelievable," you mutter, shaking your head.
He glances at you, eyes curious but unbothered. "Is that a good thing?"
You let out a soft laugh, one that feels lighter than it should considering your heart is still racing in your chest. "I donât even know. You really just said that like you were telling me we had PE next period."
He shrugs. "I meant it. I donât think it needs to be complicated."
And you know heâs right again. Kita doesnât dress things up. He doesnât make things harder than they need to be. He doesnât hide behind games or fear or doubt. He just is.
You look down at your lunch, your appetite forgotten. You canât stop thinking about the things he said. The way he noticed your little habits. The way he didnât need you to answer right away. The way he didnât waver.
When you finally meet his eyes again, thereâs a warmth blooming in your chestâslow and full, like sunlight rising through clouds.
"Iâm in love with you too, you idiot," you say, and your voice is so quiet, so soft, that you almost expect him to miss it.
But he doesnât.
Kita Shinsuke turns to you fully then, and for the first time all afternoon, he smiles.
Really, truly smiles.
And just like everything else he does, itâs quiet, intentional, and completely disarming.
He reaches for your handânot suddenly, not dramatically, but gently, deliberatelyâand your fingers lace together like they were always meant to. You sit that way for a long time, the afternoon stretching endlessly before you, the breeze curling around your ankles, the scent of spring growing thicker with each passing minute.
Neither of you says much after that. You donât need to.
Some things are better left to the quiet.
And Kita, as always, knows exactly what silence means.
Your writing is incredible!! Youâre so good at being immersive oh my GOSH! (I canât count the number of times Iâve re-read Jealousy: Kageyama, you characterize him so well đ)
And the favorite positions series is getting me into characters I didnât even like reading about before itâs SO good!
If youâre up for it, Iâd love to see a favorite position for Kageyama! But regardless, I always look forward to your posts and I hope youâre doing well đ
Thank you so, so much for this messageâyou have no idea how much it means to me đ„čđ
The fact that youâve reread my work and that the Favorite Positions series has you loving characters you didnât think you would?? Thatâs literally the dream đ«
And of courseâKageyama? I had to do him justice. Iâm so happy you asked because this one poured out of me lolol Thank you and Enjoy heheh <333
--
Kageyama had always been a little obsessive.
It came with the territory. The long hours spent perfecting tosses, the constant demand for precision, the way his mind clung to rhythm and structure like lifelines. He wasnât the kind of man who acted on impulse. Every action had intent. Every motion, down to his breathing, felt like it came with weight. Control wasnât just a habit. It was a necessity.
But when it came to you, all of that discipline started to unravel.
He liked watching you ride him.
More than liked itâhe craved it.
Not just because of the view, though that alone could bring him to his knees. Not just because of how warm, how tight, how slick you felt around him. It was because, when you were on top, he could finally let go. Let his body move without thinking. Let his focus shift away from control and into sensation. Into you.
Let go of pressure. Let go of performance. Let go of everything except you.
Tonight, it was slow.
Dim lighting spilled across the room, golden and soft. The sheets were tangled beneath you both, slightly damp from heat and friction. Your knees were on either side of his hips, thighs flushed pink with effort. He lay back against the pillows, hands resting on your waist like he was grounding himself, knuckles white from restraint.
His head was tilted back, jaw slack, brows drawn together, his breath hitching every time you sank down onto him. The soft gasps he tried to bite back made your skin prickle.
âF-fuck,â he whispered, voice already hoarse, fingers digging into your waist. "You feel so good."
You moved slowly, intentionally, savoring every second of the way his cock dragged inside you. You could feel every twitch of his muscles beneath your palms, every exhale he let out between clenched teeth. Kageyama couldnât tear his eyes away. He was transfixed.
Your hands slid up his chest, finding purchase at his shoulders as you rolled your hips just rightâand he let out a low, broken moan, his entire body twitching beneath you.
His fingers flexed like he wanted to grab you tighter. Like he wanted to take over. But he didnât.
He didnât ask to change positions. Didnât flip you beneath him. Didnât thrust up into you like he had so many times before when desperation overtook his instincts.
He just watched.
Like he was memorizing everything.
The way your body moved in the low light. The soft sheen of sweat on your collarbones. The way your lips parted every time you dropped your hips a little faster. The soft gasp you made when you ground your hips down and caught just the right angle that made your thighs tremble.
It was overwhelming.
He was trying so hard to hold back. You could see itâthe tension in his neck, the way his abs flexed with every movement, how his grip on your hips kept faltering between loose and desperate.
And then you leaned in.
You kissed his jaw. Traced your lips down to his throat. Murmured something against his ear. Something soft. Something filthy. Something about how good he felt inside you. How wrecked he looked. How badly you wanted to see him come apart.
His whole body jolted.
His eyes fluttered shut. His hips bucked up into you before he could stop himself. His hands grabbed your hips, pulling you down hard onto himâdeep, tight, perfect.
That was it.
He came hard.
Breath caught in his throat, head tipping back into the pillows, brows pinched tight as he groaned your name like it was the only word he knew. His whole body trembled, thighs flexing beneath you, abs tightening, cock twitching inside you as he spilled into you, hot and sudden and overwhelming.
You blinked down at him in surprise, breathless and flushed, still pulsing around him as your own orgasm threatened to catch up to his. The heat between you was dizzying.
His hands softened, moving to cradle your hips gently as he blinked up at you, dazed, skin flushed all the way to his chest.
"Sorry," he muttered, cheeks red, voice thick with apology. âI didnât mean toââ
You cut him off with a quiet laugh, brushing his damp bangs back from his forehead, fingers gentle. "Donât apologize."
You leaned down, kissed his cheek, and let your forehead rest against his.
His hands ghosted over your thighs, uncertain, still grounding himself.
And thatâs when it hit him.
You hadnât been trying to overwhelm him.
You were savoring it.
The way he looked beneath youâblushed, breathless, barely holding it together.
The way his hands twitched like he didnât know what to do with all the sensation.
The way he let you have him.
And for the first time in his life, Kageyama realized he liked being the one who lost focus.

The second the double doors of the weight room open, itâs like youâve stepped into a different universeâa world of metal clanks, low grunts, chalk-dusted air, and the constant thud of iron plates hitting the floor. And now, slicing clean through that rhythmic storm of testosterone and hyper-focus, is you: very pregnant, slightly annoyed, and holding the wallet your husband managed to leave behind on the kitchen counter this morning. You didnât think twice about walking the ten minutes over from your place. Itâs not like you hiked a mountainâyou waddled across pavement in sneakers. But by the way the entire Olympic volleyball team turns toward you in unison, you might as well be carrying a live grenade instead of a baby.
âWOAHHHâLOOK OUT! Civilian on the floor!â Bokutoâs voice booms across the room, sweaty hair sticking up, arms mid-air like youâd broken the rules of gravity just by showing up.
Atsumu, flat on a bench press with Kageyama spotting him, twists his head far too dramatically toward you and lets out a long, low whistle. âAinât no civilian, Bo. Thatâs Iwaizumiâs wife. And sheâs lookinâ like sheâs about to drop that baby right here in front of the dumbbells.â
You donât even get the chance to sigh before you spot himâHajime, towel around his neck, clipboard tucked under one arm, halfway through barking cues at someone doing squats. His head snaps toward you the second he hears Bokutoâs yell, and his entire body goes rigid. The clipboard hits the bench with a clatter. The towel is forgotten. His mouth moves, but thereâs no time for wordsâheâs already weaving through machines and teammates, practically charging toward you like the floor itself might crumble under your feet.
âYou walked here? Alone?â he demands as soon as heâs within a few feet, eyes scanning you from head to toe like heâs checking for bruises.
âIâm not made of paper, Hajime. I walked from the apartment. Not across a battlefield.â You hold the wallet up between two fingers, giving him a pointed look. âYou left this on the counter, by the way.â
He takes it, but barely spares it a glance. His attention is completely on youâhis wife, his very-pregnant-wife, standing in the middle of the Olympic teamâs weight room surrounded by free weights, kettlebells, unstable mats, and volleyball players who think balance training on BOSU balls is a personality trait.
âThis place isnât safe for you,â he mutters under his breath, eyes narrowing at a barbell someone just let crash onto the floor nearby. âYou shouldnât be around this equipment. Thereâs too many ways you could trip, or get knocked, orâhellâslip on a chalk patch.â
You raise your eyebrows and gesture around you. âI am standing still, Hajime. On flat ground. Wearing shoes. Holding a wallet. This is not a life-threatening activity.â
His lips flatten into a tight line. âYouâre thirty-eight weeks. You should be sitting, preferably somewhere padded, with a bottle of water and a snack within reach.â
You blink. âAre you reading off a checklist right now?â
He doesnât answer.
At that moment, Komori jogs up with his usual bounce, sweat still gleaming on his forehead and a towel slung haphazardly over his shoulder. âWaitâthis is your wife? The one we keep hearing about?â
âHe doesnât talk about her,â Kiryu calls from the dumbbell rack, not even bothering to look up. âHe says stuff like âmy wife made soupâ and âmy wife needs pickles.â Thatâs it. Thatâs all we get.â
You offer a small, amused smile and rest both hands on your stomach. âHi. Yes. Iâm Soup-and-Pickles. Thirty-eight weeks along. Full of baby. And apparently one bad step away from being put in a medically induced nap.â
Thereâs a chorus of laughter, though itâs mixed with soft whistles of awe as more of the team gravitates toward you. Aran strolls over with a light smile, while Hinataâs practically vibrating behind him.
âYou really came all the way here?â Aran asks.
âItâs ten minutes from home,â you reply, shooting a glance up at your husband who still looks like heâs trying to map the safest escape route out of the gym for you. âIâm pregnant, not cursed.â
âCouldâve fooled me,â Iwaizumi mutters. âYouâre standing next to iron weights in Converse. Thatâs a hostile environment.â
You roll your eyes, adjusting the strap on your bag. âTheyâre high-tops. Extra support.â
Before he can scold you further, Hinata suddenly leans forward with stars in his eyes. âIs the baby kicking?â
âOh yeah,â you nod, hand moving instinctively to the right side of your belly. âSheâs training for nationals, I think. My ribs are her new personal practice net.â
âCan I feel?â Komori blurts out, his expression open and hopeful.
Youâre about to say yes, but Hajime moves before you can answer, shifting his stance ever so slightly to put his body between you and Komori with the quiet intensity of a dad whoâs already protective before the babyâs even born.
âSheâs not a mascot,â he says flatly.
You place your palm on his chest. âHajime. Itâs fine.â
His eyes flicker to yours. He relents with a small sigh, stepping aside like it physically pains him to do so.
Komori gently places his hand on your stomach, and when the baby kicks, his face lights up like someone handed him a puppy. âOh my god. Thatâs incredible.â
Kageyama peers over curiously. âDoes it feel weird?â
âLike an alien living under your skin,â you say cheerfully. âAnd sometimes the alien cries when you donât feed it grilled cheese at exactly 3 a.m.â
âSounds terrifying,â Sakusa mumbles nearby, adjusting a band on his wrist.
âIwaizumi,â Yaku calls from where heâs doing banded lunges, âyou better give that kid rock-solid calves. I donât care how. Itâs your duty.â
âOh, weâre starting this already?â you laugh. âPressure before sheâs even out of the womb?â
âOh, weâve been taking bets,â Suna says, finally looking up from his phone with the laziest smile. âDue date, hair color, position theyâll play.â
âDefinitely not libero,â Bokuto adds, puffing his chest. âThat babyâs got outside hitter energy.â
âI swear to god,â Iwaizumi mutters, dragging a hand down his face.
You press a soft kiss to his jaw and whisper just loud enough for him to hear, âYou love it.â
He doesnât answer. Just wraps one arm around your shoulders, pulling you gently into his side, hand resting low and protective on the curve of your stomach. He kisses the top of your head. Quiet. Steady.
You nudge him lightly and lift a brow. âStill mad I walked into the weight room?â
He looks down at you, expression flat. âI am always mad when you walk into a room with flying metal plates and men with the coordination of blindfolded rhinos.â
âI brought you your wallet.â
âAnd almost gave me a stroke in the process.â
You grin, dig into his pocket, and pull out one of his protein bars. âAnd Iâm stealing your snack.â
ââŠUnbelievable.â
Kita Shinsuke was a man of routine.
He liked quiet mornings. Crisp sheets. Things folded neatly, put away properly. He didnât yell. He didnât lose his temper. Everything he did was thoughtful, measured, deliberate.
And that translated in the bedroom, too.
He didnât rush. He didnât fumble. And he wasnât the type to lose control.
Which is why his favorite position was one that allowed him to stay in control, to keep you close, to feel every single way your body responded to his.
Prone bone.
Your body beneath his. Face turned to the side, cheek pressed into the pillow, your back arching automatically as his hips rutted into you slowly, deeply, at a rhythm that felt maddening. The cotton of the sheets felt cool against your flushed skin, the quiet rustle of the fabric beneath you the only sound aside from your shallow breaths and the soft slap of skin meeting skin.
He didnât let you move. Didnât let you squirm or shift or hide your face.
He held you there.
One arm caged around your waist, the other braced at the mattress near your head, his palm anchoring your shoulder blade as he rolled his hips with the kind of practiced precision that only came from a man who paid attention to detail. Every shift of his body was intentional, every breath exhaled against your neck deliberate.
And you never realized how overwhelming that kind of stillness could be until he made you stay in it.
âShinsukeââ your voice broke, trembling with effort. Your fingers clawed at the sheets, trying to ground yourself as your thighs twitched, as the pressure in your belly coiled tighter and tighter.
His hand was firm between your shoulder blades, his chest flush to your back, the heat of his skin blanketing you, his lips brushing your ear.
âStay still,â he murmured, voice low, calm, but final.
You gasped as he pressed deeper, the drag of his cock against your walls drawing a cry from your throat. The stretch felt unbearable and addictive all at once. He was slow, precise. Like he was memorizing you. Like your body was a prayer and he intended to recite every line by heart.
âFeel it,â he whispered. "Donât run from it."
Your breath hitched. Your eyes fluttered shut. You tried to hold still. You really did. But the pleasure built too fast, too hot, and your hips jerked again before you could stop yourself.
His hand moved instantly, gripping your hip, holding you in place. Not hard enough to hurtâjust enough to remind you who was in control.
His body pressed more firmly into yours. You felt every inch of him, every beat of his heart in the center of your back, every deep thrust echoing inside your ribs.
You whined into the pillow, your body shaking. âI canâtââ
âYou can.â
His voice was soft, but unrelenting. âYou want to come?â
You nodded, barely able to form words.
âThen be good. Take what I give you.â
And you tried. You let him take over. Let him keep the pace, keep the rhythm, keep you pressed down while he fucked you slow, deep, steady. The sound of your breathing filled the roomâwet, broken gasps punctuated by the muted creak of the bed and the soft drag of his hips grinding into yours.
Your toes curled. Your hands twisted in the sheets. Every thrust pressed you deeper into the mattress, made your body shudder under him, made your moans fall apart into messy, breathless cries.
You were a mess by the time he let you fall apart. Crying out into the sheets, your fingers curling, your body seizing around him as your orgasm crashed through you hard. Your thighs trembled violently. You felt your body clamp down on him, spasming in wave after wave of white-hot release.
He didnât stop.
Not until your body gave out entirely beneath him, trembling and slack and soaked with sweat. Your mind was blank, every nerve in your body thrumming. Your face pressed into the pillow, mouth parted, completely undone.
Only then did he ease out, brushing his hand along your spine, lips pressing softly to your shoulder. His hand lingered there, fingertips trailing in slow, soothing patterns that made your breath even out bit by bit.
âYou did so well,â he murmured, wrapping his arms around you from behind, pulling your boneless body into his chest. âJust like I knew you would.â
You hummed weakly, too wrung out to reply, eyes slipping closed as you melted into the heat of him.
Stillness. Not because he demanded itâ
But because after him, you couldn't move even if you wanted to.
Hello!! I just want to say before I request anything that I absolutely ADORE your writing. Youâve quickly become one of my favorite writers! Iâm constantly checking to see if youâve posted LOL please keep it up! <3
if itâs not too much trouble, could I request us doing face-masks with Tsukishima or Akaashi? Either or both is fine, I have zero preference!
Thank you in advance mwa mwa !!
đ±
This is adorable and I am in LOVE. I literally just spat this out lolol Me being a favourite writer of anybody is a dream đ„č Thank you for enjoying my work!! I'll make sure to post just for you đ„° I hope you enjoy <333 --
It started with a panda.
Or rather, it started with you, lounging on the couch with a ridiculous animal-print face mask plastered to your face, scrolling through your phone like nothing was out of the ordinary. You wore it like a second skinâcompletely unbothered, completely at peace.
And then Tsukishima walked in.
He froze halfway through the doorway of your shared apartment, one brow raised as he took in the sight of you in your oversized hoodie, face glistening with a panda-shaped sheet mask.
â...You good?â
âThriving,â you said simply, not even bothering to look up.
He didnât respond right away. Just dropped his bag by the door and walked in with that usual lazy gait, eyeing you like you were some sort of cryptid he wasnât sure how to handle.
âYou look ridiculous,â he said eventually, standing behind the couch now, arms crossed.
You peeked up at him with a smirk. âThatâs rich coming from someone who used to wear sport goggles indoors.â
He narrowed his eyes at you. You stuck your tongue out.
âIs this one of those self-care things?â he asked, nose wrinkling slightly as he stared at the mask. âLike cucumbers-on-the-eyes and bath bombs?â
âExactly that,â you nodded. âExcept these ones are more fun. They have animals on them.â You pointed to the half-empty package on the coffee table. âYou wanna be a tiger or a polar bear?â
He stared at you.
You stared back.
âAbsolutely not,â he said flatly.
âYouâre doing it.â
âNo, Iâm not.â
âYes, you are.â
You were already peeling one of the masks from its packaging with careful fingers, holding it up like a peace offering. It was orange-striped with little ears on top. Then you reached behind you and grabbed a matching tiger-print headband, complete with pointy ears.
"And this," you said, holding it up triumphantly. "To keep your hair out of your face."
He looked positively scandalized. "There is no way Iâ"
"Oh, you are," you cut in, already nudging it toward him. "C'mon, Kei. Don't you want the full experience?"
He looked at the headband, then at you, then back at the headband like it personally offended him. But when you wiggled your brows at him and smiled with full confidence, he muttered something under his breath and snatched it from your hand.
"You owe me so much for this."
"Add it to my tab."
He rolled his eyes but said nothing as you helped him unfold the mask and carefully place it over his face.
âOkay, hold still. It has to line up with your eyes⊠okay, a little to the leftâno, my left⊠there.â
You leaned back to admire your work. Tsukishima, volleyball star, tall and smug and forever exasperated, now sat beside you wearing a bright orange tiger face mask that made his scowl look ten times funnier.
â...You look adorable.â
âI look like a joke,â he said dryly.
You took a photo.
âDelete it.â
âNever.â
Despite all his complaining, Tsukishima stayed there with you for the full fifteen minutes, arms crossed and huffing dramatically every so often. But he didnât move. And when you started scrolling through your phone again, his thigh pressed just a little closer to yours.
And when the timer went off and you both peeled the masks off with grossed-out noises, you glanced at him with a grin.
âSo?â
âSo what?â
âDo you feel refreshed and radiant?â
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. âI feel sticky.â
You laughed and leaned over to kiss his cheek. âYouâre glowing, tiger boy.â
He shook his head but didnât push you away. In fact, a small, reluctant smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Maybe face masks werenât the worst way to spend a lazy evening.
The morning sunlight streamed through the cracked window, golden rays spilling over the tangled mess of sheets and the scattered remnants of the night before. Outside, birds chirped in the early quiet, their songs a stark contrast to the utter wreckage inside the room.
You groaned as consciousness pulled you from the depths of exhaustion, a dull, persistent ache spreading through your body. Every muscle protested as you attempted to move, soreness radiating from the very core of you. Fucking hell.
Shifting slightly, you became aware of the steady rise and fall of someone else's breathing beside you. Your gaze flickered to your left, and sure enoughâAtsumu Miya, sprawled out, snoring like a chainsaw, one arm flung over his head, the other lazily draped across your waist.
That smug bastard.
You blinked, your brain still foggy, your limbs still heavy with exhaustion, and thenâ
Oh. Right.
Your eyes darted around your bedroom, the aftermath of last night coming into focus. Condom wrappers littered the floor, some torn open in haste, others carelessly discarded. Tied-off condoms rested in evidence of just how many times you had let him ruin you. The air was thick with the lingering scent of sweat, sex, and something undeniably Atsumu.
You clenched your jaw. You let this happen. Multiple times.
Your body throbbed in agreement. Yeah. No shit.
Gritting your teeth, you slowly pushed his arm off of you and began the excruciating process of getting up. The second you sat up, white-hot soreness shot through your thighs, your stomach tightening from the sheer ache of overuse. A hiss escaped you as you gingerly swung your legs over the bed, muscles screaming in protest.
"Goddamn it, Miya," you muttered under your breath, wincing as you stood. Your legs wobbled dangerously, knees threatening to buckle before you caught yourself on the edge of your desk.
That cocky asshole fucked you stupid.
You cursed him again, more viciously this time, before dragging yourself toward the bathroom, muttering a string of colorful profanities as you went. A hot shower was the only thing that might save you now.
The sight in the bathroom mirror was humiliating.
Your hair was a tangled disaster, barely clinging to the remnants of the ponytail you had thrown it into at some point last night, stray strands sticking to your forehead and neck. Tugging the elastic free, you ran your fingers through the knots, hissing slightly as you tried to tame the mess. And then your gaze caught the deep, bruise-like hickey from your very first encounter, still staining the side of your neck, dark and undeniable.
Fucking fantastic.
Rolling your eyes, you reached for the shower handle, twisting it until steam began to rise. The second the warm water hit your skin, your muscles sighed in relief. You let out a breath, resting your forehead against the cool tile as last night replayed in your head.
How the hell had this happened?
More importantlyâwhy the fuck had it been so good? It had been so long since youâd had genuinely good sex, since someone had touched you like that, made you come apart so completely. And it just had to be him. Of all the people in the world, it had to be Atsumu Miya.
Your lips pressed into a thin line. He had been too goodâan irritatingly smug bastard with a filthy mouth and a body that knew exactly how to work yours. He had torn you apart, left you in shambles, ruined you, and the worst part? You wanted more.
Shaking your head, you rinsed the suds from your hair, trying to push the thought away as you finished up. When you stepped out, fresh and clean, you felt marginally betterâuntil you walked back into your room.
He was still there. Still sprawled out, still snoring, dead to the world like he had no intention of moving anytime soon.
You scowled.
The audacity of this man.
Rolling your eyes, you stepped up to his side, glaring down at him. With a sharp flick to his forehead, you muttered, "Hey, this isnât a bed and breakfast. Go home."
Atsumu groaned, shifting slightly but refusing to open his eyes. His golden hair was an absolute mess, strands sticking up in chaotic tufts, evidence of how thoroughly you had pulled at it throughout the night. His broad shoulders flexed lazily as he rolled onto his stomach, the curve of his back leading down to the sheets pooling dangerously low at his waist. The way his muscles shifted with the movement sent an unwanted spark of heat through youâfucking unfair.
His voice, thick with sleep and laced with satisfaction, rumbled through the room. "God, for how well I fucked you, youâd think youâd be less of a bitch," he mumbled, barely lifting his head before burying his face into your pillow, exhaling deeply like he had all the time in the world.
Your nostrils flared. Oh, hell no.
With zero hesitation, you ripped the blanket off of him, exposing his very naked form to the cool morning air. He let out a disgruntled noise, blindly reaching for the covers, but you had already thrown his underwear at his face.
"Get dressed and get out before your brother starts wondering where the hell youâve been."
Atsumu groaned into the mattress, arms tucked under his head like he didnât have a single care in the world. "Sâtoo early for this," he grumbled.
Your glare intensified. "Miya. Get. Up."
He peeked at you from beneath his lashes, that lazy smirk creeping onto his face like he knew exactly what he was doing. "Yâknow, sweetheart, ya didnât seem too eager for me to leave last night. If I remember correctly, ya were begginâ me to stay inside ya."
You saw red.
Lunging forward, you smacked him upside the head with a pillow, sending him coughing into the sheets. "Shut the fuck up and put your pants on!"
Atsumu wheezed out a laugh, rubbing his head as he sat up, his toned body stretching with a satisfied groan. "Aight, aight, Iâm goinââno need to get violent."
You rolled your eyes as he slid into his clothes, his stupid smirk never leaving his face. As soon as his shirt was on, he strolled up to you, eyes raking over you in nothing but your towel.
"Yâknow," he mused, cocking his head, "I could just stay. Help ya recover."
Your eye twitched. This man had no shame.
Grabbing his hoodie from the floor, you shoved it into his chest. "Out."
He chuckled, stepping through the doorway before pausing, glancing over his shoulder.
"See ya at practice, sweetheart. Try not to miss me too much."
You crossed your arms. "Oh, suck my dick."
Atsumuâs smirk widened instantly. "Iâll do that next time."
Your face flamed as his words registered, but before you could react, he was already laughing, dodging your attempt to shove him as he disappeared down the hall, leaving you standing there, breathless, flustered, and ready to launch something at his retreating figure. That bastard.
~~
The morning sun had risen higher by the time Atsumu finally dragged himself out of your house, stuffing his hands into his hoodie pocket as he walked back home. The crisp morning air did little to clear his head. His body achedânot in a bad way, but in that thoroughly-used, completely-spent kind of way, muscles sore from hours of exertion. Every step sent a reminder of exactly what he had been doing all night, and with whom.
And his mind?
It was a fucking mess.
He wasnât dumb. He knew exactly what this was. You hated his guts, and he gave you just as much shit in return. That wasnât changing anytime soon. You were bossy, relentless, always looking for a way to put him in his placeâand goddammit, it infuriated him.
But last night?
He exhaled sharply, dragging a hand down his face as flashes of youâyour legs tangled with his, the way your breath had hitched every time he pushed deeper, how you had fought him for controlâflooded his mind.
Fuck.
He could still feel you, phantom traces of your nails scraping down his back, the warmth of your body, the way your thighs had locked around him like you were daring him to stop. And that look on your face when you finally gave in? Yeah, that shit was burned into his memory.
And damn it all, it was the best sex heâd ever had.
Atsumu wasnât naiveâheâd been with girls before, and sure, he liked to think he was good in bed. No one had ever complained. But with you?
It was different.
Not just the sexâthough, fuck, it was phenomenalâbut the build-up. The tension, the aggression, the way you had fought him every step of the way, and still melted under him just the same. It made his blood run hotter, his instincts sharper, like every second with you was some kind of battle he was dying to win.
And now? Now he had fucked you senseless, and instead of feeling satisfied like he normally would, his body was already itching to do it again.
He exhaled slowly, rubbing the back of his neck as his house came into view. His entire body felt heavy, spent, and the only thing on his mind now was crashing into his bed and sleeping for the next eight hours. Maybe then he could stop thinking about the way your breathy moans had completely wrecked him.
"Shit."
The front door creaked open as he stepped inside, toeing off his shoes. The kitchen was quiet, but a note caught his attention, stuck to the fridge with a volleyball magnet.
Went to grab groceries. Be back later. Try not to destroy the house.
Atsumu huffed a small, tired laugh and crumpled the note in his fist before heading down the hall, desperate for the sleep he hadnât gotten. His bed was calling him, and he could already feel the exhaustion creeping up his limbs, finally ready to crash.
But the second he stepped into his bedroom, a familiar voice made him pause.
"I covered for you last night, you know."
Atsumu barely spared his twin a glance, too tired to argue. "Uh huh. Thanks."
Osamu was sitting up on his own bed, arms crossed, eyebrows raised. "So, youâre just not gonna tell me where you were last night?"
Atsumu groaned, running a hand through his already-messy hair before flopping face-first onto his mattress. "Samu, I swear to god, Iâm too tired for this."
Osamu, unimpressed, leaned back against the headboard, watching his twin like he could see through his bullshit already. "That so? âCause ya look like ya got hit by a truck."
Atsumu grunted into his pillow. Yeah. A truck named you.
Osamu let the silence stretch between them before sighing. "Was it a girl?"
Atsumu tensed for half a second before he forced his body to relax, rolling onto his side, throwing an arm over his eyes. "Does it matter?"
"It does when yer actinâ all weird about it." Osamu's tone was far too knowing for Atsumu's liking. His twin wasnât one to pry, but he was also damn observant, and Atsumu had no doubt that if he wasnât careful, Osamu would piece everything together before the day was over.
Atsumu exhaled heavily. "Can ya just let me sleep?"
Osamu narrowed his eyes, something clicking into place behind them. "Wait a second... You were actinâ weird as hell yesterday, and the manager didnât even show up to practice in the afternoon..."
Atsumu forced his expression to stay neutral, shoving down the immediate impulse to react. "What? You think I was with her?" He scoffed, shaking his head as he rolled onto his back, throwing an arm over his eyes. "Relax, Samu. It was just some girl from classâAiri Sakamoto."
Osamu didnât say anything for a second, but Atsumu felt him still watching. Weighing his words. Judging his reaction.
"Huh." Osamu finally leaned back against the headboard. "Didnât think ya liked Airi."
Atsumu shrugged, doing his best to sound unaffected. "Nothinâ serious. Just some fun."
"Uh-huh. Sure."
The way Osamu said it made Atsumuâs skin itch. Like he wasnât entirely convinced, but he also wasnât going to pushâyet. His twin was perceptive as hell, but thankfully, he wasnât nosy unless something really bugged him.
Atsumu exhaled slowly, trying to let his body relax. Good. Thisâll blow over.
Osamu didnât push any further, but Atsumu knew better than to assume this was over. His twin had that look, the one that said he wasnât entirely buying it but was willing to let it sit for now. Atsumu could only hope that was enough to keep him from digging further.
But as he finally closed his eyes, exhaustion pulling at his limbs, the image of you still wouldnât leave his head.
This was gonna be a problem.
~~
Monday morning arrived far too quickly, the weight of the weekend still lingering in your muscles, your thoughts, your everything. The cold air bit at your skin as you made your way toward the gym, your feet dragging slightly despite your best efforts to act normal. You had spent the entire weekend tryingâdesperately tryingâto push everything that had happened with Atsumu to the back of your mind. But now, with practice looming ahead, it felt like all of it was crawling right back up your throat.
How the hell were you supposed to pretend like nothing had happened?
It had been two days. Forty-eight hours since you had let Atsumu ruin you, and now you had to walk into practice and act like you hadnât spent half the weekend moaning his name. Like he hadnât touched you in ways you could still feel.
Fucking fantastic.
Your hands clenched into fists at your sides as you took a deep breath. It was fine. You just had to do what you always didâbe civil enough to get through practice without anyone suspecting a damn thing. You could ignore him. You could pretend that nothing was different.
You had to.
But it wasnât just about ignoring him. No, that would have been too easy. Because the thing with Atsumu was that he wasnât the type to just let things go. He was an asshole, a relentless one at that, and you had no doubt that the second he saw you, he was going to say something. He was going to look at you with that stupid fucking smirk, that self-satisfied, cocky-ass grin, and you were going to have to find a way not to strangle him in front of everyone.
Up ahead, you spotted Kita unlocking the gym doors, his usual composed demeanor unchanged. He glanced up as you approached, his sharp eyes immediately settling on you as he gave a small nod in greeting.
"Mornin'. Feelin' better?" he asked casually.
You froze mid-step. What?
Your brain went completely blank for a solid second before the realization slammed into you.
Oh. Right.
You had told Kita you were sick to get out of afternoon practice on Friday. Shit.
You forced your face into neutrality, schooling your features as quickly as you could. "Uhâ" you blinked, then cleared your throat. "Yeah. Head cold."
Kita gave a small, approving nod, his expression unreadable. "Good. Glad youâre back."
You exhaled, relieved that he didnât press further, though the reminder of your flimsy excuse only added to the pile of things to stress about today.
The real problem wasnât Kita.
It was stepping into that gym and seeing Atsumu again.
You could already feel it, the weight of his presence, the way the air would shift the second you walked in. You knew him too well. You had been fighting with him for years. And now? Now you had to pretend like his hands hadnât been all over you, like you hadnât spent the weekend letting him fuck you in every way imaginable.
And the worst part? You had no idea how to handle it.
With one last deep breath, you squared your shoulders, plastering the most neutral expression you could manage onto your face, and followed Kita inside.
The gym was empty, still wrapped in the early morning quiet, save for the distant hum of the overhead lights flickering to life as Kita stepped ahead, checking the locks and switches with his usual efficiency. You made a beeline for the storage room, the familiar echo of your footsteps bouncing off the polished floors, each step grounding you in the routineâa routine you needed now more than ever.
Pulling out the cart of volleyballs, you set about your usual tasks, rolling out the net, setting up the poles, unfolding the mats in the corner of the gymâall movements embedded in your muscle memory, allowing your mind to drift even as your body worked.
But your thoughts werenât cooperating.
Each small motion felt heavier today, like every act of normalcy was forcing your mind to ignore the very obvious elephant in the room: Atsumu fucking Miya.
The past weekend had unraveled something you werenât ready to confront. The sharp, burning pull of hatred, desire, competition, frustrationâit was still there, coiling beneath your skin like a live wire. How were you supposed to erase the feeling of his body against yours? The way he had looked at you in the dim light of your bedroom, golden eyes dark with something you refused to name? The way he had made you come undone over and over until you had lost track of time?
Your fingers curled around the net, gripping it too tightly.
You had to get a grip.
You gave your head a sharp shake, forcing the thoughts down, deep, deep down where they wouldnât interfere with practice. Because that was all it wasâpractice. A normal morning, a normal routine. You just had to act normal.
And more importantly, you had to act like Atsumu didnât still linger in the ache between your thighs, in the phantom press of his fingers along your waist, in the way your pulse picked up just thinking about him.
You scowled at yourself. Pathetic.
Straightening, you grabbed a volleyball from the cart, tossing it idly from one hand to the other, trying to reset your mind. The doors would open soon. The team would pile in. Atsumu would walk through that door.
And you needed to be ready.
It wasnât long before the distant echo of voices signaled the arrival of the team, the usual mix of early morning grumbles and lighthearted banter filling the space as the gym doors swung open. You kept your focus on the net, adjusting its tension with a practiced ease, but it was impossible to ignore the way their presence shifted the atmosphereâthe way his presence shifted the atmosphere.
A few of the guys greeted you as they passed, their voices casual, unaware of the storm inside your head.
"Hey, you feeling better?" one of them asked, pausing briefly near the cart of volleyballs.
You nodded, forcing a polite smile. "Yeah. Just a head cold."
"Glad you're back. Kita was worried."
That surprised you. Kita worried? You glanced toward the captain, who was already overseeing warm-ups with his usual composed expression. He must have noticed your hesitation because he gave a small nod of acknowledgment, as if to confirm the statement. Huh.
But then, you made a mistake.
Your gaze drifted across the gym, landing on him.
Atsumu had just stepped inside, his duffel slung lazily over one shoulder, his hair slightly disheveled as if he hadnât bothered fixing it properly before rolling out of bed. The second your eyes met, he smirked.
Not just any smirk.
That smirk. The one that sent heat rushing up your neck, pooling low in your stomach, the one that made you clench your fists just to stop yourself from reacting. It was lazy, self-satisfied, and undeniably knowingâlike he could still feel you on him, like he could still hear the way you moaned his name in the quiet of your room.
Your body betrayed you instantly.
A rush of heat, a sudden tightening in your core, a traitorous pulse between your legs that sent panic flaring through your mind. No. No, no, no.
You locked up, fingers tightening around the netâs frame, every ounce of rational thought crumbling beneath the weight of that goddamn smirk.
"Uhâearth to manager?"
You jolted slightly, blinking rapidly as Suna waved a hand in front of your face, his sharp eyes flickering with mild amusement. Shit.
"You good? You look like you just saw a ghost."
"Iâ" You cleared your throat, willing yourself to snap back to reality. "Yeah. Justâdistracted."
Sunaâs gaze lingered for a second too long before he shrugged, rolling his shoulders. "If you say so."
You exhaled sharply, heart still hammering against your ribs as you forced yourself to focus.
Practice was starting. You needed to get it together.
The drills started off as routine as ever, the rhythmic sound of sneakers squeaking against the polished floor, volleyballs slamming against the net, and voices calling out sets filling the gym. You went about your usual duties, keeping water bottles filled, retrieving stray balls, observing. Everything was exactly as it should be. Almost.
Because you were noticing things you had never noticed before.
Atsumu had always been an impressive player. You knew that. His skill was the reason he was the starting setter of Inarizaki, the reason scouts were always eyeing him for future prospects. But you had never let yourself notice him like this before.
The way his muscles flexed every time he set the ball, the way his strong arms held complete control over the game, the sheer power behind every calculated moveâit all felt too familiar. His body was built for this sport, lean but strong, his movements fluid and commanding, just like that night.
You swallowed hard, forcing your gaze to shift anywhere else. No. Absolutely not.
And yet, your thoughts kept circling back to him, back to the way he had moved over you, with the same precision, the same power. Your thighs clenched involuntarily, and you had to bite the inside of your cheek to snap yourself out of it. This was insane. This was Atsumu. The same Atsumu who had spent years annoying the shit out of you, pushing your buttons, picking fights just to rile you up.
You needed to leave. Now.
The second practice ended, you grabbed your things and bolted, moving toward the exit before anyone could stop you. The last thing you needed was more time around him. You just had to make it to class, shake off whatever the hell was happening in your head, and forgetâ
A hand grabbed your wrist, pulling you back into the shadow of the gym just as the rest of the team filtered out. Warm, calloused fingers wrapped around your skin, familiar and firm.
Atsumu.
You barely had time to register his presence before he was speaking, voice low enough that no one else could hear.
"My place'll be empty tonight," he said, his tone so damn casual you could have punched him. "Samu's got a project."
You scowled, immediately tugging your wrist from his grasp. "And why should I care?"
Atsumu didnât answer right away, just raised a brow like he knew something you didnât. Like he knew exactly what was going on in your head. And then, with that insufferable smirk, he said, "Come over after practice."
And then he walked away, leaving you pissedâbecause you knew in your heart that you were going.

--
Kenma had never liked seeing you sick.
Not in high school, not now, not ever.
He wasn't the overly expressive typeânot with words, not even with touch unless promptedâbut he was attentive in the quietest, most precise ways. It was in how he brewed your tea with exactly the right amount of honey, how he remembered which corner of the blanket you preferred, how he adjusted the thermostat a degree lower without being asked. It was in how he never once complained when you sneezed directly onto his hoodie and then apologized like you'd committed a crime against humanity.
You'd caught a fever two days ago. High. Dangerous enough to make him drop his controller mid-stream, tell his viewers he was logging off, and shut everything down without a second thought. His fans could wait. You couldn't.
Now you were curled up in bed, cocooned under three layers of blankets, face flushed and eyes watery. Your hair stuck to your temples in damp strands, and your lips were dry despite the water and juice he kept coaxing you to drink. A warm haze clung to you like a second skin.
Kenma sat on the edge of the bed, gently brushing a clammy strand of hair from your forehead, his brows drawn together with a soft, worried furrow. You looked so small like this. Fragile in a way he hated.
"Do you need anything?" he asked, voice soft.
Your response was a quiet humâtoo soft, too weak. Your hand barely moved when you tried to reach for him and gave up halfway through.
He sighed. "Iâll take that as a 'no' then."
He rose and padded barefoot to the bathroom to change the cool compress on your head. When he returned, you winced slightly at the shock of it against your heated skin but gave him the smallest of smiles. That smile was all he needed to stay planted beside you for the rest of the evening.
The first day was simple: fever, rest, more rest. Kenma read to you in a soft voice when you couldnât sleep, half-watching the screen of his Switch when you drifted off. The second day, the fever didnât break. Your cough got worse. You started getting whinyânot in a mean way, just more clingy, more fussy. You tossed and turned, grumbled at the blanket for being too heavy and then too thin. Kenma adjusted it each time without complaint, wordlessly refilling your cup when it was empty.
"Donât leave," you murmured once when he stood up to grab your medicine.
"Iâm just going to the kitchen."
"Still. Donât."
He paused. Then slowly sat back down. "Okay."
You fell asleep not long after, your fingers curled in the fabric of his sleeve like a tether.
By the start of the third day, the fever had started to dip, but something was off. Not worseâjust different. You were moody. Restless. Your eyes kept drifting toward him, then away. You fiddled with your sleeves, pulled your legs up under the blankets only to stretch them back out a moment later. You werenât saying much, but when you did, it was to complainâyour pillow was too soft, your tea was too sweet, your shirt was itchy.
Kenma didnât mind. He never minded when it came to you. But the inconsistency in your behavior pinged in the back of his mind like a notification he couldnât swipe away.
By mid-afternoon, he closed his game console and leaned forward, placing it gently on the nightstand. His golden eyes watched you with subtle intensity as you fiddled with the edge of your blanket.
"Okay," he said flatly. "Youâve been squirmy and weird all day. Spill."
Your eyes widened, and your faceâalready flushed from the feverâsomehow turned redder. You immediately turned your face into the pillow.
He waited.
You groaned. "Itâs nothing. Iâm just... tired."
He didnât buy it. Not for a second. "Youâre not tired. Youâre needy."
Your breath hitched in your throat.
Kenma blinked, letting the silence stretch for a moment as he watched you squirm. His voice dropped lower, a little softer, more curious than accusatory. "...That it?"
You buried your face deeper into the pillow, voice muffled and near-incomprehensible.
"What was that?"
You turned just enough to peek at him with one eye, your lip trembling slightly. "I just... I wanna be held. But Iâm gross and sweaty and disgusting, and I didnât wanna bother you."
Kenma stared at you for a long beat. Then he gave a soft sigh, scooting closer until his knees bumped the side of the mattress.
"Move over."
Your eyes widened again. "Butâ"
"You think I care about sweat?"
"I literally sneezed in your hair yesterday."
"You did," he admitted. "And Iâm still here."
You shifted slowly, cautiously, your heart fluttering like the fever had sparked all over again. Kenma climbed into bed beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. He was careful not to press against you too hard at first, but once you leaned into him, he wrapped his arms around you with a slow, deliberate tenderness, pulling you close until your head rested just beneath his chin.
You melted.
The warmth of him, the steady rise and fall of his chest, the way his fingers settled gently against your spine and started tracing soft, grounding linesâit was everything you hadnât been able to ask for.
"Better?" he murmured.
Your voice cracked. "Yeah."
He kissed the top of your head, barely a brush of lips against fever-damp hair. "Next time, just say it. I canât read your mind, you know."
You made a weak, embarrassed sound. "I didnât want to be annoying."
"Youâre always annoying," he mumbled, brushing his thumb against your arm. "But youâre mine. So itâs fine."
Despite the congestion, the soreness in your throat, the heat in your cheeksâyou laughed. A breathy, tired little sound that still managed to be real.
He felt your smile against his collarbone.
Kenma held you tighter.
Neither of you moved for a long time. Minutes passed, then maybe an hour. Eventually, you dozed off in his arms, breathing soft and slow, and Kenma didnât dare shift or get up.
He stayed right there, running his fingers along your back, as the fever began to retreat.
The medicine was working.
But more than that, you had finally let yourself rest in the place you needed most.
With him.
Hey I really love the way you write itâs so fun to read and really fits the characters. I wanted to request you making small drabbles or a series on how the haikyu characters would treat you while youre pregnant. If itâs something you donât want to write no worries. đ©·
OMGG yesss I love that idea đđđ It goes so well with my other mini-series ehehe, I'm 100% adding it to the roster!! Thank you for your sweet words, they never fail to make my day.
For you! Gorgeous Human!! Enjoy <333 --
Ushijima has been overprotective since the very beginning.
The second those two lines showed up on the test, it was like a switch flipped in him. He became your personal guard dog, nurse, chauffeur, meal planner, and human forklift all rolled into one stoic package.
It was kind of sweetâat first. The way heâd gently tug your hand away if you tried to carry anything heavier than a spoon. The way heâd Google symptoms with intense focus, like your morning sickness was a tactical challenge he could overcome with enough research. The way he sat through every prenatal appointment like it was the Olympics and he was preparing to win gold in fatherhood.
But by the third trimester?
Youâre one more âlet me do itâ away from committing actual murder.
âIâm gonna change the sheets,â you say, bracing a hand on your lower back as you waddle toward the linen closet.
Before you even touch the doorknob, heâs there. He must have materialized from the floorboards.
âIâll do it,â he says.
You blink up at him. âWakatoshiââ
âThe mattress is heavy.â
âIâm not flipping it! Iâm just changing the sheets.â
Still, he reaches over you and pulls out the linens like itâs already been decided. âSit down. Iâll take care of it.â
You stare at him, nostrils flaring, lips twitching, but you donât fight it. Not yet.
Then come the groceries. The laundry. The vacuum you so much as glance at. And every time, he gets to it before you can even try. Every time, he gently insists. Every time, you swallow the urge to scream.
Until now.
You step onto the footstool to reach the top kitchen cabinetâone single bowl, thatâs all you wantâand he appears in the doorway like a haunted house spirit.
âDonât,â he says sharply.
Thatâs it. Thatâs the moment you snap.
âUSHIJIMA,â you explode, flinging your arms wide in a very dramatic but very off-balanced motion. âI am pregnant. Not porcelain. I can do things! I can move and lift and stretch and reach and I would like to do one thingâjust ONE THINGâby myself without you treating me like Iâm going to spontaneously combust!â
He pauses. Blinks. That stoic face giving you absolutely nothing.
ââŠYou were wobbling,â he says.
âI always wobble! Iâm basically a giant, sentient bowling pin at this point!â
âI donât want to take chances,â he says, calm as ever.
âWell I want to do something myself!â
He hesitates. You can practically hear the gears turning in his head. Eventually, he steps back and says simply, âOkay. Do it.â
Oh. Oh he did not just call your bluff.
You puff out your chest, grab the cabinet door for balance, and go for it. Fingers brush the edge of the bowl, victory within reachâ
âand then you realize you canât quite twist back down. Youâre halfway off the stool and stuck. Pride flickers. Stomach tightens. Arms flail just a little.
ââŠToshi?â you call, voice small. âI, um. I need help.â
Heâs there in seconds.
Strong arms wrap around you, lifting you like you weigh nothing. He sets you gently on the floor like a queen being lowered onto her throne.
âYou were saying?â he murmurs, hand on the small of your back.
You scowl. âI hate you.â
âYou donât,â he replies smoothly. âYou just hate that Iâm right.â
You slump against his chest, bowl in hand, your forehead hitting the middle of his sternum. His hand rubs up and down your spine. You sigh dramatically.
âYouâre so annoying.â
âAnd youâre still holding the bowl.â
ââŠShut up.â
The stadium lights burned like stars overhead, casting long shadows across the polished court. The roar of the crowd swelled in waves, a living, breathing force that surged and broke against the walls of the arena. Bokuto Koutarou stood still in the center of it all, his heartbeat syncing with the rhythmic beat of the game.
This was home. It always had been.
He bounced on his heels, palms slapping softly against his thighs, golden eyes flicking up and over the rows of fans packed into the stands. He always did this before a gameâscanning. Searching.
Hoping.
You came to one of my games in college once. Said you wanted to support me even if you didnât know all the rules. You sat in the front row with snacks and one of those handmade signs, grinning like it was the best thing youâd ever done. You were so proud of me. I couldn't stop staring.
It wasn't until the second set that he saw you.
Not in the front row this time. A little higher up, tucked into a row of seats that caught the golden light just right. You looked the same. Soft expression. That familiar warmth that never failed to center him, no matter how chaotic the world got.
But this time, you werenât alone.
Your fingers were laced with someone else'sâa man with kind eyes, a relaxed smile, and a wedding band that mirrored the one glinting faintly on your hand.
Something in Bokuto's chest twisted. An old, familiar ache he had kept buried deep down beneath years of laughter, late-night texts, and every moment you sat beside him without ever realizing what he wanted to say.
But his body knew what to do. The ball was set, high and perfect, and he soared to meet it. Muscles coiled, arms arched, and thenâthe strike. The ball slammed to the floor on the opposing side like thunder cracking through silence. The crowd erupted.
He didn't hear any of it.
We used to sit on the school rooftop and eat lunch together. Iâd talk about volleyball like it was a religion. Youâd talk about music, books, strange little thoughts that made no sense but always made me laugh. I think I fell for you the first time you passed me a rice ball and told me to stop overthinking my spikes.
He never told you.
Not once.
There had been chancesâso many chances. Late-night calls that lasted too long. Moments when your eyes lingered. When your laughter felt like something he wanted to wrap both hands around and never let go.
But the words never made it past his throat.
He told himself he had time. That he didnât want to ruin the beautiful, easy thing you had. That being near you was enough.
And now, watching you from across the arena, smiling at someone else the way he used to dream youâd smile at him, Bokuto felt the weight of every second heâd spent silent.
As long as youâre watching, Iâm happy.
Thatâs what he told himself. And maybe, on some level, it was still true. Because you were watching. Eyes bright, expression soft, hands clapping politely after every point. You were here.
You came.
Just not for him.
Even so, he glanced up again, caught one more glimpse of you laughing at something your husband whispered in your ear. His chest ached, but his lips pulled into a quiet smile.
Because even if your heart belonged to someone else, even if he was just a fond memory in a long list of friendshipsâ
He would still play his heart out.
Because if youâre watching, then that means some part of you still remembers. Still cares.
And maybe that was enough.
He wiped sweat from his brow, steadied his breath, and returned to the service line.
Eyes on the ball.
But just for a second longer, heart still caught in the standsâ
Watching you.
You must have a lot of notepads in your place
A fair assumption but I'm just a freak who just uses one single word doc to write all my stories. sorry to disappoint lolol But as always thank you for the send!! <33
Youâve known the Miya twins for as long as you can remember. They were the loudest boys on the playground, all scuffed knees and sunburned cheeks, their laughter carrying across the schoolyard like a war cry. Atsumu, the loudmouth with a cocky grin that drove teachers insane, and Osamu, the quieter one who always seemed two seconds away from dragging his brother out of trouble. You were caught in the middleâsometimes willingly, sometimes notâbut you never complained. Being with them was easy. Natural. Like breathing.
âYer too slow!â Atsumu had whined once, standing at the edge of the sandbox with his hands on his hips while you struggled to keep up. âThen go ahead without me!â youâd huffed, kicking sand in his direction, cheeks flushed and breathless.
But he never did.
No matter how many times you fell behind, no matter how many times Osamu rolled his eyes and threatened to leave you both behind, Atsumu always waited. And somehow, that pattern never changed.
Years passed. Middle school turned into high school. The three of you didnât hang out as much anymoreâbetween club activities, exams, and life pulling you in different directions, it was harder to find the time. But you still showed up. For them.
You never missed a game, sitting in the stands with Osamuâs mom and cheering as loud as the rest of the Inarizaki fans. You watched Atsumu serve with impossible precision, eyes narrowing with focus before the ball left his hand. You watched Osamu spike with terrifying accuracy, his smirk barely contained afterward. You were proud of them both, proud to see them rise, proud to be part of the crowd that supported them.
âYer cominâ to the next match, right?â Atsumu asked one afternoon after practice, leaning against the fence with his bag slung over his shoulder. His hair was damp, a few stray strands sticking to his forehead, and his uniform was loose, hanging casually over his broad frame. The sun was dipping lower, casting warm orange hues across the field where a few stragglers still kicked a soccer ball around. You glanced up from your phone, pretending to be nonchalant. âI always do, donât I?â His grin stretched wideâcocky and confident, just like alwaysâbut there was something in his eyes. Something⊠uncertain. Hidden beneath the bravado. âJust checkinâ.â He kicked at the dirt, scuffing his sneaker against the pavement. âYa donât gotta, yâknow. Betcha got better things to do than watch us all the time.â
Osamu was the one who noticed it first, the subtle shift in Atsumuâs behavior. It was after another win, and the three of you had gone out to grab a bite. Atsumu was unusually quiet, barely picking at his food while you and Osamu bickered over the best dipping sauce for karaage. âOi,â Osamu had muttered under his breath when you went to the counter to grab more napkins. âWhatâs with ya?â
âNothinâ,â Atsumu had mumbled, poking at his plate, but Osamuâs eyes had narrowed. âYa never shut up. Now yer quiet? Somethinâs up.â
âNothinâs up,â Atsumu insisted, but Osamu didnât look convinced. He shot his brother a look but didnât press further. Later that night, as you waved goodbye and promised to see them at the next game, Osamu lingered behind. âHeâs actinâ weird,â he muttered, watching Atsumu walk ahead. âYa notice?â
You had laughed, brushing it off. âWhen isnât he weird?â
It wasnât until you started talking about someone elseâTakahiro, a guy from your classâthat things started to change. He was smart, funny, and polite in a way that seemed almost too perfect. You didnât even realize how often you were mentioning himâhow your eyes lit up when you talked about how he made you laugh during group projects, how he texted you after class to ask if you understood the material. At first, Atsumu barely reacted. Just a quirk of his brow and a half-hearted, âHuh. Cool.â But then it happened again. And again. And suddenly, Takahiroâs name was slipping into conversations more often than not, and Atsumu noticed. Every. Single. Time.
He didnât say anything to you about it. But he did talk to Osamu.
âHe likes her, donât he?â Atsumu had muttered one afternoon, his voice low, barely audible as they sat in the back of the gym after practice. His knees were drawn up, elbows resting loosely on them while he picked absentmindedly at the tape around his fingers, pulling at the frayed edges like they held the answers to his problems.
Osamu raised a brow, glancing sideways at his brother. âWho? Takahiro?â His tone was neutral, but the way he looked at Atsumu was anything but.
âYeah.â Atsumuâs jaw clenched as he peeled another strip of tape from his skin, eyes fixed on the floor. âSheâs always talkinâ about him lately. Laughinâ at his dumb jokes. Her face lights up when she talks about him.â
âSince when do ya pay attention to that kinda thing?â Osamuâs tone was teasing, but there was something careful underneath it, something that probed deeper.
âI donât.â Atsumuâs answer was too fast, too defensive. His fingers stilled against his knee, tape forgotten as he shifted, posture rigid.
Osamu tilted his head, watching his brother closely. âRight.â Silence stretched between them for a beat, thick and unspoken. âSo, why do ya care?â
âI donât.â Atsumuâs voice was quieter this time, almost too quiet. But his jaw was tight, his eyes dark with something Osamu didnât need to ask about.
Osamu exhaled softly, leaning back and folding his arms behind his head. âYer full of shit, yâknow.â He didnât push, didnât ask any more questions. But his words lingered in the air, hanging heavy between them. Atsumu didnât respond, and Osamu let it goâfor now. But the silence that followed spoke louder than anything Atsumu couldâve said.
You started noticing the shift after that. Atsumu was differentâquieter around you, shorter with his words. His usual sharp remarks didnât carry the same playful edge anymore. They were clipped, like he was forcing himself to stay distant. At first, you thought he was just tired. Volleyball took its toll, and with nationals approaching, it wasnât unusual for the entire team to be running on fumes. But this was different. His usual warmth was gone, replaced by something colder, something heavier that settled in the pit of your stomach. His eyes didnât linger on you the way they used to, and when they did, there was something in them you couldnât place. Frustration? Hurt? You werenât sure, but it left a bad taste in your mouth.
It all came to a head during the next game.
It was an intense matchâone where every point mattered, the air thick with anticipation. You were in your usual spot in the stands, cheering louder than most of the crowd, but this time⊠you werenât alone. Takahiro was beside you, leaning in close, his shoulder brushing yours as he whispered something in your ear that made you laugh. You didnât notice the way Atsumuâs eyes flicked toward you, sharp and fleeting, but he saw it. He saw the way you smiledâsoft and genuine, eyes crinkling at the cornersâand it knocked the air out of his lungs.
It burned.
Atsumuâs jaw tightened, his fingers curling a little too tightly around the ball as he lined up his serve. He tried to shake it off, to focus on the game, but your laugh echoed louder than the roar of the crowd in his ears. His heartbeat pounded in his chest, faster, harder, until it drowned out everything else. The whistle blew. He tossed the ball, went through the motionsâbut his mind wasnât in it. His focus was shattered, replaced by a tangled mess of emotions he didnât know how to deal with.
The ball sailed too far.
Out of bounds.
By a mile.
The murmur that rippled through the crowd was deafening in his ears. Atsumuâs jaw clenched so hard it hurt, his teeth grinding together as he forced himself to breathe through the frustration. He didnât look at you after that. He couldnât. But he felt itâyour eyes on him, concern etched into your features, even as you turned back to Takahiro. The tension settled like a weight in his chest, suffocating and inescapable.
Throughout the rest of the game, Atsumu was off. His sets were technically perfect, but they lacked their usual precision. His timing was a second too late, his movements a little too forced. The fire that usually burned in his veins, the one that made him relentless on the court, was barely a flicker. And no one noticed but Osamu.
âGet yer head outta yer ass, âTsumu,â Osamu muttered under his breath during a timeout, his voice low enough that only Atsumu could hear. âYer messinâ up, and I know why.â
Atsumu didnât respond, eyes locked on the floor, jaw clenched. But Osamu wasnât done. âIf ya donât fix it, weâre gonna lose. And if we do, itâs on you.â
By some miracle, Inarizaki still scraped by with a winâbut barely. Atsumu was the first one off the court when the final whistle blew, not bothering to stick around as the team lined up to thank the crowd. His skin was crawling, frustration boiling beneath the surface as he tore off his sweat-soaked jersey and tossed it into his bag. He needed to clear his head. He needed to breathe.
And you? You noticed.
âWhereâs Atsumu?â you asked, concern lacing your voice as you turned to Osamu while everyone congratulated the team. Osamuâs eyes flickered toward the gym, his expression neutral but his tone softer than usual. âNeeded some air,â he muttered, his voice quiet but knowing. âYa know how he gets.â And that was all it took.
Your chest tightened. Something told you this wasnât just about a bad game.
âOi, Miya!â Takahiroâs voice broke through the hum of post-game chatter as he stepped forward, flashing a bright smile. âHell of a match out there. You guys pulled through in the end.â His words were polite, his tone smooth, but the second they left his mouth, the atmosphere shifted.
Ginjima, who was standing nearby, narrowed his eyes, barely masking his distaste as he gave Takahiro a once-over. His lips pressed into a thin line, and for a second, it looked like he was about to say something. "So, ya thinkâ"
But before he could finish, Aran stepped in, his usual easy-going demeanor firming up as he gave Takahiro a curt nod.
âThanks,â Aran cut in smoothly, his tone polite but clipped just enough to send a message. âAppreciate it.â
Takahiro, oblivious to the silent exchange, just smiled and gave a thumbs-up. âNo problem. You guys really pulled through.â
You felt the tension rolling off Ginjima, and even Kitaâs usually neutral expression was unreadable as his eyes flickered between Takahiro and the team.
You lingered with the team for a little while longer, standing by Aran as he exchanged a few polite words with Takahiro, who was blissfully unaware of the underlying tension. You nodded along, adding the occasional "yeah" or "for sure" as Takahiro talked about how intense the game had been and how impressed he was by Inarizaki's performance. But your mind was elsewhere.
Atsumuâs absence gnawed at you. The way heâd left the court so quickly, the frustration rolling off of him in wavesâit didnât sit right. Something was wrong, and no matter how much you tried to focus on the conversation happening around you, the pit in your stomach wouldnât go away.
Eventually, as the crowd began to thin out and the post-game buzz started to fade, Takahiro turned to you with that same easy smile. "Weâre all gonna grab something to eat after. You coming?"
You hesitated, your heart tugging you in a different direction. "Hey⊠I think Iâm gonna head home," you said softly, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. "Iâm kinda tired."
Takahiroâs brow furrowed slightly, concern flickering across his face. "You sure? We were all gonna hang out for a bit."
âYeah, Iâm sure,â you replied, offering him a quick, reassuring smile. âIâll see you tomorrow, okay?â
He hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright⊠text me when you get home, yeah?"
âOf course.â
But you had no intention of going home.
As Takahiro rejoined the group, you slipped away, weaving through the crowd without a second glance. Your feet moved on instinct, carrying you back toward the gym, where you knew exactly where Atsumu would be. Something gnawed at your gut, telling you this wasnât just about a bad game. You could feel it, a weight settling in your chest, making it hard to breathe.
As you got closer to the gym, the familiar sound of volleyballs slamming against the floor echoed through the quiet night. The steady thump reverberated through the empty halls, each hit carrying a frustration that was almost palpable. Your steps slowed as you approached the entrance, the muffled grunts of effort and the sharp sound of rubber meeting wood growing louder with each step.
When you reached the doorway, you stopped, heart hammering in your ears as you took in the sight before you. Atsumu was there, just as youâd known he would be. Sweat dripped from his forehead, his hair damp and sticking to his skin. His jersey was clinging to his back, soaked through, and the gym floor was littered with scattered volleyballs, some rolling lazily across the surface after missed targets. But Atsumu wasnât slowing down.
His jaw was clenched, his eyes locked on an invisible target as he tossed another ball into the air, his muscles flexing as he jumped, body coiling with raw power. The crack of the ball echoed through the gym as it slammed into the floor, and a grunt of frustration escaped his lips, reverberating off the walls.
You stood there, frozen for a moment, watching him pour every ounce of frustration and anger into each serve. He didnât notice you. Not yet.
âYou're gonna break the damn floor at this rate.â
Your voice echoed across the empty gym, but Atsumu didnât stop. He tossed another ball into the air, his muscles flexing as he jumped, slamming it with a grunt that reverberated off the walls. The ball ricocheted off the floor and hit the back wall with a loud thud. His breathing was heavy, shoulders rising and falling with each ragged inhale.
âGo home.â His voice was clipped, laced with exhaustion and something sharper. He didnât turn to look at you, eyes locked on the next ball he was already lining up.
âAtsumu,â you said softly, stepping further into the gym. âTalk to me.â
âThereâs nothinâ to talk about.â He tossed the ball, and another loud thwack echoed through the gym as the ball hit the floor. âGo home.â
But you didnât move.
âNot until you tell me whatâs wrong.â Your voice was firmer this time, crossing your arms as you stood your ground. But then, as Atsumu lined up another ball, ready to serve, you couldnât take it anymore. Your feet moved before your brain caught up, and you stepped forward, planting yourself right in front of him.
âAtsumu, stop.â
His eyes widened in surprise, the ball still gripped tightly in his hand, but you didnât back down. You stood your ground, heart pounding as you met his gaze head-on.
âMove,â he muttered, his voice low, but there was no real heat behind it.
âNo,â you said firmly, your voice unwavering. âIâm not moving until you talk to me.â
âWhy even bother?â His voice was sharper now, but there was something raw beneath the anger. âGo back to yer boyfriend. Bet heâs waitinâ for ya.â
You blinked, stunned by the venom in his words. âBoyfriend? You mean Takahiro?â
âYeah, him.â He finally turned, eyes blazing with something you couldnât quite placeâhurt, frustration⊠jealousy? âBet heâs real smitten with ya, sittinâ in the stands, watchinâ ya smile at him like that.â
Your brows furrowed, confusion flashing across your face. âWhat the hell are you talking about?â
âDonât play dumb,â Atsumu snapped, his voice rising. âI saw ya. Laughinâ at his jokes, lettinâ him get close. Ya looked real happy. Real fuckinâ happy.â
âThatâs what this is about?â Your voice sharpened, anger bubbling to the surface. âYouâre pissed because I was talking to Takahiro?â
âOh, I dunno,â Atsumu drawled, his tone dripping with mock sweetness as he dropped the ball and crossed his arms. ââTakahiroâs so nice,ââ he mimicked, his voice going higher, mimicking yours in an exaggerated, sing-song way. ââTakahiro helped me with my assignment.â âTakahiro said the funniest thing today.ââ He scoffed, his expression darkening as he took a step closer, his eyes flashing with something dangerously close to jealousy. âYa never shut up about him.â
If you weren't pissed before, you sure as hell were now.
Your jaw clenched, heat rushing to your face as your hands balled into fists at your sides. âWhat the hell is your problem?â
âWhatâs my problem?â He let out a bitter laugh, eyes narrowing. âMaybe Iâm just sick of listeninâ to ya gush about him like he hung the damn moon.â
âAre you serious right now?!â You raised your voice, the frustration bubbling over. âYouâre actinâ like a damn child, Atsumu!â
âMaybe I am!â Atsumuâs voice shot up, matching yours as his face flushed with anger. He stepped forward, closing the distance between you, his eyes locked on yours with a heat that made your pulse race. âBut at least Iâm not the one actinâ blind to whatâs right in front of me!â
âBlind to what?!â You threw your hands in the air, voice sharp and cutting as you took a step toward him, closing the space between you until there was barely any room left. Your chest brushed his as you tilted your chin up to meet his fiery gaze. âWhy do you even care so much, Atsumu?!â
âWhy do I care?!â He was practically towering over you now, his breath hot and ragged as his jaw clenched, his eyes burning with frustration. âBecause ya never stop talkinâ about him! âTakahiro this, Takahiro that!â Itâs all I ever fuckinâ hear!â
âMaybe I wouldnât if you didnât act like you donât give a damn about me!â Your voice cracked, but you didnât back down, standing your ground even as the tension between you became suffocating.
âI donât give a damn?!â Atsumuâs voice was louder now, the frustration bleeding into his tone as he stepped even closer, his chest brushing against yours. âYouâre the one whoâs been actinâ like Iâm invisible! Like Iâm justâjust some guy while yer out there with him!â
âThen why didnât you say something?!â You screamed, voice echoing through the gym, your frustration boiling over. Your hands were trembling now, knuckles white from how hard you were clenching them at your sides. âWhy do you even care so much?!â
âBecause I love you!â
The words erupted from him, loud and raw, his voice breaking as the confession echoed through the gym and filled the space between you. His chest heaved, his face flushed from a mix of anger and desperation, and his eyesâwide, vulnerable, and filled with something you hadnât seen beforeâwere locked onto yours.
You froze, the weight of his words crashing down like a tidal wave, leaving you breathless, your heart pounding in your ears. The world went silent, and for the first time since youâd stepped into that gym, neither of you had anything left to say.
Your heart hammered against your ribcage as you stared at him, his chest still heaving from the force of his confession. The air felt thick, suffocating, as your mind raced to process what he had just said. Seconds stretched on, but you didnât move. You couldnât.
Then, without thinking, without giving yourself a chance to second-guess it, you stepped forward. Your eyes locked on his, your expression unreadable, and before he could say another word, you grabbed the front of his jersey, yanking him down.
"Youâre so fucking stupid," you whispered, barely loud enough for him to hear.
And then you kissed him.
It wasnât soft or hesitant. It was fierce, fueled by weeksâno, monthsâof pent-up frustration, confusion, and feelings you had pushed down for far too long. Your lips crashed into his, and Atsumu froze for half a second before he was kissing you back with just as much desperation. His hands found your waist, pulling you impossibly closer, and the world around you blurred until nothing else existed.
The anger, the yelling, the unspoken wordsâthey all melted away, leaving only the two of you, tangled in the heat of the moment, finally giving in to everything youâd both been too stubborn to admit.
Kenma Kozume was a man of few words, but when it came to gaming, his focus was unmatched. His world narrowed down to the flicker of the screen, the subtle click of buttons, and the shifting of his fingers on the controller. You had gotten used to this side of himâthe way he would disappear into his own world, immersed in a game for hours on end.
But today? Today, you werenât in the mood to be ignored.
âKenny,â you murmured softly, standing by the couch where he was seated, his eyes locked onto the TV screen. He didnât respond, too caught up in whatever game he was playing, his brows slightly furrowed, lips pressed together in concentration. You knew better than to take it personallyâKenma could get lost in his games, completely tuning out the world around him. But after an entire afternoon of watching him battle it out with faceless opponents, your patience had worn thin.
âKenma.â
Still nothing.
You sighed, your lips curving into a mischievous smile as you decided to take matters into your own hands. If he wasnât going to pay attention to you willingly, youâd make sure he had no choice. Without another word, you climbed onto his lap, settling yourself comfortably as you straddled him, your arms loosely draping around his neck.
Kenma stiffened for a moment, his golden eyes briefly flickering toward you before shifting back to the screen.
âBabe,â he mumbled, voice low and distracted, his fingers still moving with practiced ease on the controller.
âWhat?â you asked innocently, tilting your head and pressing your chest just a little closer to his.
âIâm in the middle of a match.â
âMhm,â you hummed, leaning in to nuzzle your nose against his neck. âAnd Iâm in the middle of needing attention.â
You felt the slight hitch in his breath, the way his hands tensed around the controller as you placed a soft kiss just below his jaw.
âYouâre doing this now?â he murmured, trying to sound unaffected, but the way his voice wavered gave him away.
âIâm bored,â you teased, pressing another kissâthis time right where his pulse fluttered, your lips lingering a little longer.
Kenmaâs fingers twitched, and for the first time in a while, he fumbled, his character on the screen taking an unnecessary hit. You heard the faint sound of a death notification and bit your lip to keep from giggling.
âYou made me miss that,â he mumbled, but there was no real heat behind his words.
âDid I?â you murmured innocently, your lips brushing against his ear.
âYou know you did.â
You giggled softly, but you pulled back just enough to look at him, your fingers playing with the ends of his blonde hair. His gaze finally shifted fully to you, and the sight made your heart flutter. His expression was that familiar mix of mild annoyance and quiet affection, golden eyes softened by the warmth that was always reserved for you.
âYouâre impossible,â he murmured, his thumb lazily brushing against the joystick, but his movements were slower now, his focus barely on the game.
âAnd yet you love me,â you quipped, a playful smirk tugging at your lips.
Kenmaâs eyes flickered down to your mouth, and you saw the way his resolve crumbled just a little more.
âYeah,â he said softly, finally setting the controller aside and wrapping his arms fully around your waist.
You beamed, leaning down to capture his lips in a slow, sweet kissâone that melted away the distance that had been building over the past few hours. His lips were warm, and he kissed you like he had all the time in the world, his grip on your waist pulling you closer until there was no space left between you.
âMissed you,â you murmured against his lips.
âIâve been right here,â he murmured back, but his hold on you tightened like he was afraid youâd disappear.
âNot the same,â you whispered, brushing your nose against his.
Kenma let out a quiet sigh, resting his forehead against yours.
âI know,â he admitted softly.
The game forgotten, he pulled you closer, his lips trailing soft, lingering kisses down your jaw, across your neck, and back up to your lips. His touch was gentle but insistent, fingers pressing into your sides as he deepened the kiss, his body molding against yours. His hands traced slow circles along your back, each movement pulling you deeper into the moment.
âYouâve been playing all day,â you murmured softly, your fingers threading through his hair, gently tugging as he kissed along your jaw.
âMm,â he hummed, his lips brushing against your skin.
âAnd Iâve been sitting here, waiting for you to notice me.â
Kenmaâs lips paused, his breath fanning against your neck.
âI always notice you,â he murmured, his voice softer now, filled with something that made your heart flutter.
âThen prove it,â you teased, leaning back just enough to meet his gaze, your eyes gleaming with playful challenge.
A small, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his lips as his hands slid up your sides, his thumbs brushing lightly over the fabric of your shirt.
âYouâre really testing me today, huh?â he murmured, his golden eyes darkening with something deeperâsomething that made heat pool low in your stomach.
âMaybe,â you whispered, tilting your head slightly.
Kenmaâs lips captured yours again, but this time there was more urgency, more hunger. His hands tightened on your waist, pulling you even closer until there was barely any space left between your bodies. His kisses grew more insistent, his lips trailing down the column of your neck, leaving a path of warmth in their wake.
âIâll prove it,â he murmured softly, his voice a low promise against your skin.
You felt the heat rising between the two of you, your heart pounding in anticipation. And as his hands roamed your body, his touch both familiar and electrifying, you knew that Kenma was more than ready to remind you just how much he noticed youâin every possible way.
âGood,â you whispered, a satisfied smile tugging at your lips as you leaned in to capture his mouth again.
And in that moment, with his arms around you and his focus finally where it belonged, everything felt perfectly, wonderfully right.
The overhead lights buzz faintly, casting a dim yellow glow over empty desks and scattered papers. Practice ended hours ago, but youâre still hereâhalf because youâre sorting through lineup sheets for Coach, and half because Iwaizumi never knows how to leave when Oikawaâs still in the gym pretending heâs immortal.
Itâs just the two of you now. Oikawa finally gave up ten minutes ago, muttering something about stretching at home, and the silence that follows his absence is a rare kind of peace. You can hear Iwaizumi breathing again. That quiet, controlled rhythm he always slips back into once he isnât yelling, chasing, fixing. The gymâs been quiet, too, like itâs exhaling after hours of pounding sneakers and shouting voices.
Heâs sitting across from you now, chair turned backward, arms crossed over the backrest. Watching you. Probably not even trying to. He just does thatâstudies you like youâre part of the game plan, like your existence needs analyzing in case it ever falls out of line.
âYou should go home,â you mutter without looking up, thumbing through one of the stat sheets. âYouâre gonna pass out before you make it up the hill.â
âI could say the same to you,â he fires back, voice low, tired but still that familiar gravel thatâs embedded itself into the fabric of your after-practice routine.
You shoot him a look, but it doesnât have much heat. âYeah, but Iâm not the one whoâs been diving face-first into the court all evening.â
He smirks. Leans his chin onto his forearm and shrugs, like the ache in his shoulder isnât something heâs been carrying for weeks now. You wonder if he even notices the way he favors it. Probably. He just ignores it.
âYou never quit,â you murmur, half to yourself.
âNeither do you.â
You donât say anything to that. Mostly because itâs true. He sees right through you. Always has.
The silence stretches. Itâs comfortable, warm in the way only Iwaizumi can make it feel. Thereâs no pressure to fill it. No need to perform. Heâs always been like thatâsolid, grounded, the kind of person you could fall into without worrying if theyâd catch you. And he would. Every time.
Youâre not sure when you started noticing it. The way his hands lingered when he handed you a towel. The way he remembered how you liked your drinks cold, not iced. The way he always checked your clipboard before practice started, just in case you forgot something. He never made a show of it. He just⊠did. Like breathing.
You look up at him, and heâs already watching you.
You blink. âWhat?â
He shrugs again. âNothing.â
âCreepy.â
His smirk deepens. âYouâre the one talking to yourself.â
âI was talking to you.â
âSure.â
You roll your eyes, but youâre smiling, and you hate that itâs so easy with him. So natural. Like your heart hasnât been clenching in your chest for months now, like every little moment with him doesnât echo louder than it should. Itâs loud right now. Deafening.
You look back at the papers. âSeriously, though. You should rest. Youâve got a game this weekend, and if you overdo it nowââ
âI know.â
Of course he knows. He always does. Thatâs part of the problem.
You press your thumb into your temple, eyes scanning over messy handwriting. Your back aches. Your stomachâs been growling since the second set ended. You know you should pack it up and go home, but thereâs something sticky in the air tonight. Something that hasnât settled.
âHere,â Iwaizumi says suddenly, and before you can react, heâs pushing something across the table.
A protein bar. Slightly squished, but still sealed.
Your brow furrows. âYou brought this for me?â
He scratches at the back of his neck. âYou always forget to eat after practice. Thought Iâd try being useful.â
You stare at him. âYouâre already useful. Like, medically essential. Youâre the only reason Oikawa still has knees.â
He snorts. âI mean to you.â
The air shifts.
Itâs subtle. Barely a tremor. But it leaves everything a little quieter, a little sharper.
You donât answer. Just take the protein bar and turn it over in your hand. You trace the crinkled edges of the wrapper with your thumb like itâs a puzzle.
âThanks,â you say finally, soft. âThatâs⊠thoughtful.â
He shrugs like itâs nothing. But his eyes are still on you. Warmer now. He looks like he wants to say something else but doesnât know if he should.
You try to focus on the sheets again, but your fingers donât move. The pen in your hand feels suddenly pointless.
âYou ever get tired of it?â you ask, your voice quieter now. âDoing everything for everyone else?â
He hums, leaning back. âYeah. Sometimes.â
âThen why do you keep doing it?â
Another pause. His voice, when it comes, is soft. Almost too soft.
âBecause I care.â
You glance up at him.
His eyes donât waver. âIt matters to me. That people are okay. That youâre okay.â
Your breath catches.
You open your mouth to say something, anythingâbut the words knot up in your throat. They donât come.
And then, like itâs the most natural thing in the world, he says it.
âI love you.â
Just like that. No lead-up. No dramatics. Just the truth, falling out of his mouth like itâs been there the whole time. Like heâs been saying it in a hundred other ways already.
You freeze.
He freezes.
Itâs only a heartbeat of silence, but it stretches. Stretches until it feels like the air might snap.
He blinks. Swallows hard. âIâshit. I didnât mean toâI mean, I did, but I wasnât gonnaâfuck.â
You just stare at him.
He runs a hand through his hair, the picture of calm unraveling. âForget I said that.â
âHajimeââ
âNo, seriously. I didnât want to make this weird. I justâshit, I donât know. You were just⊠sitting there, and Iââ
âStop talking.â
He does. Immediately.
You reach for him without hesitationâclose the space between you, one hand curling into the collar of his sweatshirt as you pull him down and press your lips to his.
Itâs soft at first, like youâre testing the waters. But he responds almost instantly, his hands rising to your back, grounding you like always. Like heâs been waiting. Like heâs been holding his breath.
The kiss is short, almost clumsy, but it burns. You can feel every second of restraint heâs practiced up until this point unraveling between you.
When you finally pull away, breath shallow, heâs staring at you like heâs still trying to catch up. Like heâs not sure it really happened.
And then you smile, smug but breathless.
"Took you long enough," you whisper, your voice barely grazing the space between you before you're kissing him againâfirmer this time, with all the words neither of you said until now pressed into the space where your mouths meet.
He smiles against your lips.
This time, he kisses you back like he means it.
Haii this is the first time I ever make a request but I really liked your content <3 can you make like sex w Kiyoomi after his gf (afab) opened up about being insecure about her flat chest? Please đ I don't know how specific I should be, but I imagine him like touching and kissing more in that area after that, or just worshipping her body in general. I hope I'm not too greedy if I also ask for raw lol đ. Also, I'm taking the opportunity to ask you: do you prefer people to be more specific with their prompts or just leave it up to you to decide? Okay that's all. I hope you're having a great day! :] and sorry if I made a mistake in my writing đ (english isn't my first language). Take care, muah <33
Hiii!! đ„șđ
First of allâthank you so much for sending in your first request, that means so much to me!! And your English is absolutely perfect, donât worry at all đ I totally understood everything you meant!
Also?? Your idea??? So beautiful and gentle and emotionalâyes. I adore how you imagined him paying extra attention and offering that soft, grounding kind of reassurance. It fits him so well.
Youâre not being greedy at all!! Itâs all ready for you lolol đ«¶ I hope it makes you feel warm and loved. And to answer your question: I love when people share specific ideas like this!! But Iâm also totally happy to run wild with a vague prompt tooâwhateverâs most comfortable for you!
Thank you again for trusting me with such a tender piece, muah đđ --
Thereâs a tremble in your voice when you say it, quiet and shy beneath the warmth of his sheets. Youâre curled against his side, wearing one of his long-sleeved shirts, sleeves too big, hem hanging just past your thighs. The room is quiet. Gentle. Dimly lit.
âI know itâs stupid, but... sometimes I wish I had more. There.â
Your fingers hover near your chest like they donât belong to you, like youâre embarrassed for even bringing it up. You donât look at him when you say it.
But Sakusa looks at you.
More than thatâhe sees you.
He doesnât interrupt, doesnât dismiss it with a compliment or try to fix what isnât broken. He waits. Lets you say it all. And then, after a beat of silence, he shifts.
âCan I show you something?â he asks, voice low, tender. When you nod, he leans inâsoft, reverentâand kisses your collarbone first. Then just above your heart. Then lower.
His hands find the hem of his shirt youâre wearing, and when you give him permission, he pulls it off slowly, like unwrapping something fragile.
He kisses the top of your chest, then the dip between, then lower still, mouth brushing over skin with careful intention.
âI like this part of you,â he murmurs. âI always have.â
You shiver. Heâs not in any rush. His lips explore everything slowly, reverently, thumbs smoothing over your ribs, fingertips grazing soft skin like he wants to memorize you.
âYouâre beautiful,â he says, not like a compliment, but a truth heâs always known.
When he finally presses himself to you, everything is slow. Heated, but gentle. Heâs raw tonight, in the most intimate way. Thereâs nothing rushed or rough about it. Just skin, warmth, the low rasp of your name in his mouth.
And when he looks down at you, eyes half-lidded, breath shaking, he says it again.
âYouâre more than enough.â
Over and over again, with every kiss. Every touch. Every slow, deep thrust of his hips. Until the only thing you can feel is the weight of his love and the heat building between you, quiet and unrelenting.
He holds your hands. Nuzzles into your neck. Cradles you like youâre everything.
And you are.
To him, you always have been.
Hii!!
First of all, I wanna say that I really really love your writing, I literally check ur page multiple times daily to see if you posted - your writing is just that good.

As for the Shiratorizawa manager drabbleâYES, 1000x yes. Iâve been wanting to write something for them, and your message gave me the perfect excuse to start brainstorming. Theyâll definitely be getting their moment in the Manager Duties series soon đ
Thank you again for being the sweetest ever!! Sending you the biggest hugsâily đ«¶đ
It always starts slow with Aone.
Not because heâs hesitantâno, he knows what he wantsâbut because he treats you like youâre something heâs afraid to break. Like youâre porcelain in his calloused hands, delicate and precious. Every movement he makes is calculated, controlled, like heâs memorizing the way your skin feels under his touch.
He looms over you, body heavy and warm, eyes so intensely focused it makes you squirm beneath him. But he doesnât move until you nod, until you reach up and brush your fingertips along his jaw, silent permission passed between you.
Then he breathes.
Like heâs been holding it in this whole time.
His hands slide under your thighs to pull you closer, gentle but firm, fitting your hips against his like puzzle pieces that only ever made sense when pressed together. And the second heâs sheathed inside you, itâs like the entire world stills.
âYou okay?â Itâs the first word heâs spoken since his mouth met yours.
His voice is rougher than usualâbreathless, already wreckedâand the weight of his body above you is grounding. Comforting. You nod, and he leans down to kiss your temple, your cheek, the corner of your mouth like heâs trying to calm himself down.
You can feel how tense he is. Not from discomfort, but from restraint. He could take you fast. He could chase his own release and be done in minutes. But he never does. He moves slow. Deep. His strokes drag like honey, hips rolling into yours with deliberate pressure, drawing out your pleasure with an intensity thatâs overwhelming in the best way.
And all the while, he never stops looking at you.
âYouâre beautiful like this,â he murmurs, so quietly you almost miss it.
Itâs not like him to speak, but tonight thereâs a flush high on his cheeks, a fire behind his eyes that he canât hold back. His forehead presses to yours. His nose brushes along your cheek. His fingers find your hand and lace between them, anchoring you to him as if he's afraid you'll disappear.
âDonât look away,â he says softly, thumb stroking over your wrist.
Like he wants to memorize the way your face twists when you moan, the way your eyes flutter when he hits that spot just right. And when your breath hitches and your legs tremble around his waist, he doesnât pick up the paceâhe slows down. Drags it out. Holds you tighter, kisses you deeper.
Itâs not just sex with Aone.
Itâs connection. Itâs adoration. Itâs devotion.
And when you finally come undone, back arching, nails clawing at his shoulders, he doesnât let you fall apart alone. He follows seconds after, burying his face in the crook of your neck like he needs to hide the sound of his own release.
The silence that follows is warm. Safe.
He doesnât pull away.
Just rests his weight on you, arms locked around your waist, holding you close like he never wants to let go.
âYouâre okay?â
The same question again, but this time itâs softer. Sleepier.
And when you nod, tangled up in his arms, you hear the smallest, faintest exhale.
Like heâs home.
Hey, can I make nsfw requests?
Yes you very much can!! I have a lot of nsfw content on here lolol
Iâd love to hear your ideas!!
By third year, you'd think you and Tsukishima would've grown out of itâthat exhausting little game you two played. Bickering like it was a sport, tension so thick the rest of the team had stopped trying to intervene. Kageyama used to flinch when you raised your voice. Yamaguchi had once tried to play mediator until Tsukishima shut him down with a look. Now everyone just let it happen. It was routine. Expected. Like the sun rising or Hinata yelling.
But even routines fray when they go unchecked.
Practice had been winding down when Yachi leaned in closer, her voice hushed just enough not to carry over the sound of the guys drilling serves. You were both by the bench, pretending to organize water bottles, but reallyâyou were gossiping.
"I mean⊠heâs cute," she said, trying to hide her smile behind her clipboard. "And heâs nice. The captain of the basketball team asking you out isnât nothingâyou could give it a shot, right?"
You rolled your eyes, glancing toward the courtâthough your gaze snagged on a tall blond figure for half a second too long. "Yeah. Maybe. Heâs handsome, smart, polite."
It was a lie.
You didnât want nice.
You wanted someone else.
Someone whose voice grated on your nerves, who always had a snide comment for everything you did, who knew exactly how to provoke you and never held back.
You wanted someone who made you feel something.
Now the gym was quiet. Yachi had left twenty minutes ago, and you were the only one left locking up.
Or so you thought.
The doors creaked.
You turned, already annoyed. "I'm about to lock upâ"
Tsukishima.
He stood in the doorway like he owned the place, one strap of his bag over his shoulder, golden eyes steady. Annoyingly calm. He didnât even flinch at your tone.
You rolled your eyes. "Forgot your headphones again? Or do you just enjoy making my job harder?"
He didnât answer. Not with words.
Instead, he stepped closer, his gaze sharp. Too focused.
Then he said it. Like it wasnât the most jarring thing to say after a week full of snipes and insults.
âDonât date him.â
You blinked. âWhat?â
âI said,ââhe stepped closerââdonât date him.â
You stared, mouth parting. You hated the way your pulse jumped. Hated it more because it was him.
ââŠAre you serious right now?â
His jaw clenched, but his voice stayed even. âYeah.â
You laughed. Sharp. Bitter. âWhat, you get to talk shit to me every day and then play jealous boyfriend when someone else shows interest?â
âItâs not that.â
âThen what is it, Tsukishima?â
Silence.
And then, finally, something cracks in his expression. Not a smile. Not exactly. More like surrender.
âYou drive me crazy,â he muttered. âBut youâre all I think about.â
That shut you up. Just for a second.
He looked away first. âIâm not asking you to like me back. Just⊠donât date him.â
You folded your arms, heartbeat loud in your ears. âThatâs a shitty confession.â
He glanced back, and for once, his smirk was small. Almost nervous. "Would you have taken it seriously if I said it any other way?"
You paused.
ââŠMaybe.â
He scoffed lightly, shaking his head. "And Captain of the basketball team? Even you know you could do better. Guy probably thinks a free throw line is romantic."
There was bite in it. Smugness tooâthe kind that always laced his voice when he thought he had the upper hand. But underneath the jab was something messier, unspoken. Something that sounded too much like 'I care' for either of you to ignore.
But you laughed, and as you stepped past him, you caught a fistful of his collar and yanked him down just enough to crash your lips against hisâfirm, unrelenting, like every argument you two had ever had boiled down into a single moment.
His breath hitched, but he didnât pull away.
You broke the kiss just as abruptly, brushing past him with heat still prickling at your cheeks.
âJust take me out this Saturday, asshole.â
Blushing yuuji please?
u make a compelling argument
