what the haikyuu boys teach you in relationships
tsukishima teaches you that love is sometimes slow. love is sometimes hesitant, scared to burn too bright and fizz out too fast. tsukishima is cautious: his hands take time to hold yours, his lips hover over yours with shaky breath, and ‘i love you’ is only said in his most vulnerable moments. but his love is strong, unbreakable, and he’s willing to give you his all. it just takes time, and as far as he’s concerned, you both have all the time in the world.
kageyama teaches you the simplicity of love. he doesn’t have to pick you up and spin you around when good news come. he doesn’t have to text you every second of the day. the sigh of relief he makes when he sees you proves his love for you. the way he puts all his weight onto you when he hugs you proves his love for you. love isn’t complicated with him, it’s quiet, it’s simple. ask him if he loves you, and he responds with one word: “always.”
oikawa teaches you that you can have more than one love in your life. he was living proof that you can love many things at once; but most of all he loves you and his career. but even with two lovers taking up time in his life, he never neglected you. he made time for you, cared for you, kissed you, loved you more than anyone ever before. to him, loving someone didn’t mean giving up on your dreams. if anything, you became a vital part of his dream; he couldn’t see a medal or a future without you by his side (and if he’s being honest, he loves you a little more than volleyball).
akaashi teaches you how intimate privacy is. he doesn’t have to be over the top to prove his affection for you; no one has ever seen him kiss you, no one has seen his loving smiles when he wakes up, you laying beside him. no one knows akaashi in private, only you know the taste of his lips and messy bed-head he harbors. only you have ever seen akaashi with love swimming in his eyes. knowing that you will be the only person to ever see him in such an intimate light doesn’t take away any value; it simply serves to make your love that much more special.
atsumu teaches you the necessity of passion. love is something you should crave from your lover – your lover should be someone that makes you feel like you can breathe, like if you didn’t have them you’d drown. love should be all-consuming, no exceptions. atsumu needs you like a flower needs sunlight, he craves you like his hands crave the textured feel of a volleyball. you are not a want to atsumu – you’re a need. without you, there is no oxygen to fuel his fire.
yamaguchi teaches you what complete and unconditional trust feels like, and that you should never settle for less. there’s an unspoken understanding between you two that you both put your absolute all into the relationship and that trust will never be betrayed. no lying, no secrets, no sneaking behind each other’s back, no doubt – honest love is all you get from him, and honest love is exactly what you give back.
kuroo teaches you that it’s the little things that bring value. it’s him remembering your favorite drink and bringing it to you during your work break, it’s always eating dinner together no matter how busy you two are, its the feeling of his arm wrapped around your shoulder as you brew your morning coffee. they’re small, especially in the grand scheme of your bountiful love, but they add up, slowly but surely, and their sum is greater than infinity.
bokuto teaches you shamelessness. he’s never been ashamed of how strongly he feels for you, nor will he ever be. there’s nothing embarrassing about loving the adrenaline rush your smile gives him, there’s no reason to be shy at the red that floods his cheeks when you kiss him. there’s no reason to hide his happiness when you visit him spontaneously at practice. he’s not ashamed of his emotions – he’s proud of them. he has pride in how much he loves you. and bokuto is in love with everything that you were, are, and ever will be.
kita teaches you that loves needs constant care. you don’t plant a seed and forget to water it, or simply not tend to it at all. love is work, it’s compromise, it’s never giving up, and it’s falling all over again when it blooms. kita doesn’t mind tending to your love; he waters it by giving you affection, he pulls out the weeds by fixing problems instead of fighting – he loves you so deeply that it’s second nature to care for you. in the end, the work is always worth it, because seeing your love bloom right before his eyes, he realizes, is all he’s ever needed.
terushima teaches you that love should be fun and full of joy. there’s no reason that loving someone should be completely serious and perfect; imperfections make love real, they make love unique. his impulsive way of loving you is uniquely him; he loves you deeply, and diving into that pool of bottomless love he has for you from the highest diving board with no lifeguard near sparks more joy in him than should be humanly possible. he falls in love with how fun it is to love – with how fun it is to be in love with you.
