How do you think would Tsukki and Oikawa react when there s/o comes out as asexual? (Like would they just break up or be like.. okay, cool)?

these boys. lord help them as people

Tsukishima would be not necessarily indifferent, more like, “Okay. I didn’t really plan on having sex with you any time soon, but thank you for letting me know.” I’m like 50/50 on whether he would know what it is beforehand, but either way he’d be pretty chill w it. His s/o was scared cuz it was pretty early in the relationship when they told him, just to get it out there in case things eventually got heated. Would he think they were prude? Or that they were thinking about sex way too early?? Lucky for them, they’re not dating a 100% Total Asshole so he has no qualms with their asexuality or with dating them. He admittedly doesn’t know much about sex himself but they’ll cross that bridge when they get a lil older and more comfortable with each other

Oikawa’s s/o wouldn’t tell him for quite a while since he has a rep of getting around so they believe that he thinks thatsex is an integral part of a relationship. It’s a lot longer than they thought it would be ‘till Oik puts the Moves on them, and everything gets a lil Spicy and they have to back it up before it goes further. Oikawa backs off of them quickly, previous hot n heavy atmosphere gone, and ask why they never told him. They’re taken a bit aback, given they only considered the worst of scenarios. They tell him their side, and he’s so understanding like?? He’s like “oh no i must’ve made you so uncomfortable im sry!!” but they both settle down and everything’s chill and they’ll work their way through the relationship with tons of good communication

[imaginevolleydorks]

Um um um um did you get my fluffy kags request?

actually i don’t think we did?? you can send it again if you want it to be more specific!

I know I didn't start it, but I thought that the headcannons with Bokuto and the conservatory girl were very cute. If you had any other headcannons for it, about anything really, I'd really love to read them. I hope to see where else it can go. Like, what's her home like? Does she have birds there? Other pets? Does Bo just love hearing her talk about birds bc she's super passionate? How do his friends feel about him talking about her? What if she showed up to a match in her work clothes? Etc.

she is one Lucky girl, lemme tell ya that

To answer your questions first, Bokuto’s still a third year when they meet so she’s gotta be about the same age. I imagine she has her own apartment and is considerably organized ‘cause clutter is too overwhelming

Her apartment doesn’t allow pets, but she managed to keep a lovely betta fish without people noticing

However she does have many bird plushies

Bo rly likes birds. Bo rly likes this girl. Ergo, her talking about birds with all the enthusiasm in the world = a Good Time

She almost smacks him by accident a couple times ‘cause she is constantly wildly gesturing with her hands

The whole team knows about her. All of Nekoma knows about her. Probably all of Tokyo knows about her. Bo doesn’t blabber about her non-stop, but if he gets a chance to bring her up, u bet ur bottom birb that he’s gonna take it 

She’s let off work late one day and she has zero time to change if she wants to make it to the match. She has no spare clothes in her car or anything. She wears a generally conservative uniform, a white short-sleeve button-up and khaki pants with some clunky shoes. It’ll have to do. When she arrives the match has barely begun and she can see Bo looking a bit down. She calls and waves with abandon because she doesn’t want to be the reason he’s upset. The rest of Fukurodani is glad she’s there too ‘cause know their captain will be in top shape and less likely to feel dejected with her watching

There is Celebration when they win (she kisses him on the cheek and the team thinks it’s funny how flustered he is so they all do it too it’s a good day for the Bo)

I feel like she’s have some knowledge on flower language so when Bo gives her a thing of geraniums she’s like “I love it. You just called me stupid in a beautiful way” and she thinks it’s really funny and Bo apologizes a lot but it all ends up just fine

He makes her a playlist and each song has some reference to birds or flying but they all mean a lot as well and they’re both just. so happy. that they have someone who really gets them. so happy omg

She introduces Bo to the vulture they keep at the conservatory. Bo is excited but also the big frighten. A large concern. He waves at it thru the glass and glare he receives scares the hell out of him and she thinks it’s kinda funny how he’s so scared of the bird when she knows that it’s very kind, just looks like a meanie

Bo swears the vulture is looking at him no matter which way he goes when it is in fact, not looking at him

Kuroo loves her as well. Her sense of humor rly clicks w his and he’s glad that she and Bo ended up together. He gave her his blessing

All is well in Birbville

Big brother!akaashi(so obviously Bokuto too) finding out their sister is dating Oikawa

scandal on the horizon

-

“Ah, Keiji, there’s been something I’ve been meaning to tell you.” Akaashi Hanako took after her brother in more ways than one– besides the same dark curly hair and similar athletic inclination, the younger Akaashi sibling was also perceptive. She new Keiji was catching onto her, but didn’t know exactly what he was catching onto. He regarded her with subtle curiosity, while Bokuto visibly perked up beside him.

“And that would be?” Keiji ushered.

“I’m dating. Someone.”

“WHAT?!?!” Bokuto interjected before Akaashi could react. “Who?! How long?? Do we know him??? Or her???? Them?????” He decided to walk sideways to completely face her but still walk home at the same time.

“Um, about a week, and yeah, you both know him.”

“Walk normally, Bokuto-san, you’ll trip.”

“Oh, thanks Akaashi! Anyway, does he go here?? Is he on the team???”

“Bokuto-san,” Keiji interrupted the oncoming barrage of questions, “let’s just let her explain. Hanako, would you like to tell us who you’re dating?”

Hanako considered herself lucky to have a brother that was understanding and not terribly overprotective, but would definitely look out for her. As would Bokuto, since he’d become a brother figure as well. She felt more at ease than she thought she would when she took a breath and said, “Oikawa. Oikawa Tooru, the setter from Aoba Johsai.”

“The team we had a practice match against a few weeks ago? You’re dating their captain?!” Bokuto began, but was cut off by Akaashi.

“You’re dating a third year?”

Ah, yes. How could she forget about the two year age difference? “Well, yes. But like I said, we’ve only been dating for a week, we’re gonna see how things go–”

“When did you two meet? He’s from Miyagi, did he come to Tokyo?” Akaashi interrupted once more. He was always a straight-to-the-point kinda guy.

She ran a hand through her hair. “I was doing some shopping a few weeks ago and we bumped into each other. He said I looked familiar and asked if I knew anyone that played volleyball. He could see our family resemblance, I guess. I told him that you play, he mentioned the practice match you guys had, that he was from Seijou, blah blah blah, he was visiting his grandmother and that’s why he was in Tokyo.” She’d left out a lot of little details as to not run the story too long. “We talked for a bit while we shopped, we exchanged numbers, time passed, we talked, and here we are.”

Keiji nodded. Whether he was actually okay with this development was still a mystery to Hanako, but Bokuto spoke before he could. “That’s so cool!! Are you guys happy?? Is he treating you right?? You better tell me if you’re not, I’ll run all the way to Miyagi and punch him.”

“You’ve never fought a person in your life, Bokuto-san. You got startled by your own reflection the other day.”

“It came out of nowhere, Akaashi!!”

“Either way,” Keiji returned his attention to his sister, “Thank you for telling me, Hanako. I trust you enough to believe you’ll make the choices best for yourself. However, I have heard of his reputation as a bit of a player–”

“Keiji–”

“But I’m not here to make decisions for you. I just want to let you know that the next time I see him, I will be having a conversation with him.”

They way he said ‘conversation’ would be worrying if it was anybody else saying it.

“I understand. Just, don’t scare him off, okay? I like him. A lot.”

“I think you need to worry about Bokuto-san more with that one.”

“Akaaaashi!”

“And no kissing.”

“Keiji!”

A request where Iwazumi thought the gym had been locked but notices it open. When he goes to check he finds the girlfriend of a team member(idk maybe Oikawa) who is lamenting their failing relationship. Before she can say anything they have launched into a cover of Burn (from Hamilton) as some sort of catharsis to justify their desire to break up and anger at the careless action of their boyfriend. Yes, Iwazumi should stop them but it's the most hauntingly beautiful thing he's heard from them.

oh boi

-

Iwaizumi was heading home from cram school when he noticed the gym doors slightly ajar. A frown settled on the ace’s features. The keys had been given to Oikawa after practice, he promised he’d lock up. Was he still practicing? Dammit, he didn’t need to screw up his knee more before a practice match. Iwaizumi headed to the entrance to give the captain a piece of his mind when he stopped only one step up. The opening of the door wasn’t big, but it was enough to be able to hear inside. There was music coming from the gym, a slow gentle harp tune. Iwaizumi recognized the song from the many times Oikawa had played it before.

I saved every letter you wrote me

Usually Oikawa would play his songs on a speaker, but this seemed to be coming from just a phone. Iwaizumi decided to peek in before barging in like he planned to get a feel for the situation. He was glad he did, because it wasn’t Oikawa who was in there– it was his girlfriend.

I knew you were mine

You said you were mine

I thought you were mine

Iwaizumi sighed. Oikawa had always been a bit of a playboy, dating girls here and there, leaving a trail of broken hearts, all that nonsense. Iwaizumi knew it didn’t always end like that, however. There were times when girls would see through the mask he put on and would leave him, either out of spite or of pity. Others felt played, foolish for falling for the charm that all their friends had succumbed to, and left him to his volleyball. The setter never seemed too bothered, after all, he did focus on volleyball more than anything else, but why he still dated so much puzzled Iwaizumi to know end despite being the person closest to the captain.

Actions have consequences. Oikawa’s actions lead to consequences that may not effect him fully, but it could lead to things like this.

Be careful with that one, love

He will do what it takes to survive

She was singing the words, but her voice wasn’t what caught Iwaizumi; it was the emotion behind it. She was singing what she felt, that much was clear. The song itself was moving enough, with Eliza lamenting her husband’s affair, but the circumstances were different. Oikawa didn’t write letters, Oikawa never cheated. But he could tell that whatever he had done, however careless he’d been, he’d affected this girl to a point where she felt she had sing her emotions in a dark gymnasium. Oh, he was gonna have a talk with Oikawa about this.

The world seemed to burn

Iwaizumi had met her several times before. She seemed to be a rather happy person, but not naive. You could hold a conversation with her about anything, he was sure. Oikawa didn’t speak in-depth about any of his relationships, but he saw the effort she put into it. She wanted it to work. Maybe she learned that Oikawa didn’t care either way.

You have married an Icarus

He has flown too close to the sun

She slowly paced around the gym, moving her hands along with the music and lyrics, filling the room with her almost mournful voice. He could only watch as she grieved, not having any idea what she was truly grieving.

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

How they perceive you, you, you, you

Iwaizumi held his breath during the pause.

I’m erasing myself from the narrative

She seemed more finished than anything, anger and sadness replaced by a sense of finality. Part of Iwaizumi felt silly for thinking such things, they’re only in high school after all, but another part felt for her, felt the ache of doing all you can but not succeeding.

You have torn it all apart

I’m watching it burn

He knew Oikawa would never purposefully hurt someone so deeply. He knew he never meant for any of this to happen, for her to get so attached. The ace could hear his rebuttal already, “Well I never said we were serious!” anything to deflect the questions and answers and coming to terms with his actions. Self-preservation was habit for him, it was instinct. Postponing the inevitable never helped, he’d learn one day. After all, instinct is something you polish.

The music fell.

I hope that you burn.

Once the piano faded, Iwaizumi pushed open the door. They needed to talk.

Can I have an overprotective twin brother Kenma finding out his twin sister(who's the younger one) is dating kuroo scenario?

my bois

-

Kenma knew his sister was acting a little strange, it’s not like she could hide that from him of all people. He couldn’t quite put his finger on why, though. He wasn’t one to demand answers, so he let her figure herself out and if she wanted to talk, she could. He left it as that until he come home from practice one evening to hear his mother and sister talking in the kitchen. What caught his attention was the use of his name. He paused the process of taking off his shoes to listen in.

“I’m just kinda worried. I know Ken can be little overprotective, but I have no idea how he’ll react when I’m dating him of all people.”

Ah. It was like that.

“I think you should give your brother a little more credit, hon. I’m sure at very least he’ll be accepting of your relationship. How long have you two been dating, again?”

His sister sighed. “About two weeks. We just wanted to get more comfortable with the whole thing before telling people. We’re thinking of telling Ken Friday after volleyball practice, since he’s, y’know on the the team too. I hope he doesn’t let it slip beforehand, though.”

It’s someone on the team? Oh god please don’t let it be Lev, Kenma thought. Kenma was level-headed guy, he’s sure he could handle meeting his twin’s boyfriend. If it wasn’t Lev.

“Have you two kissed yet?”

“Ugh, mommmm…” Kenma could hear his sister’s despair and decided that that was the moment to make his entrance. He nonchalantly strode into the kitchen.

“Oh, hey Kenma. How was practice?”

Kenma placed his bag over the side of his chair and sat. “Same as usual. Lots of yelling. People getting hit in the face. Kuroo giving a weird pep talk.”

“Well I’m glad you had… a time.”

“I’m gonna go do my homework,” his sister interjected suddenly, and quickly retreated from the room. Kenma felt a little guilty about eavesdropping, but not guilty enough to regret it nor to disregard the information the information he’d obtained. He was going to find out Friday. He could wait a few days. Just please don’t have it be Lev.

—

It’s not like Kenma was gonna deck whoever was dating his sister, especially since they were on the team. He was just going to make sure they treated her right and vice versa. Whoever it was, Kenma already had some amount of trust in them because that’s what happens when you’re part of a team. That doesn’t mean he couldn’t be little intimidating, though.

After practice on Friday, Kenma went outside to walk home with Kuroo as usual, but when he emerged from the building Kuroo was already talking to someone. Someone who looked just like Kenma. He expected her here, of course, but maybe with her boyfriend.

“What are you doing here?” Kenma inquired, feigning surprise. He was never very good at that, but he didn’t have many other options.

“Ah, Kenma!” Kuroo spoke up. “I just uh, wanted to– we wanted to tell you something.”

Oh. Oh my god.

“Yeah so, uh…” She grabbed Kuroo’s hand. “Kuroo and I are kinda… dating? Together? Dating together. We’re. We’re going out.”

Maybe this is why she was worried, dating her brother’s childhood friend and all. Most of Kenma’s surprise is from not being able to pick up hints from Kuroo earlier on.

“…How long?” He knew the answer to that.

“Two weeks. We were gonna tell you earlier, but–”

“I understand, Kuroo.”

“…You do? Like, all of it?”

“Yes. I’m happy for you two. Can we go home now?”

“Wait, Ken,” his sister started, “you’re not gonna get mad or anything? No having The Talk, like ‘you hurt my sister I’ll hurt you’ kind of thing?”

“For starters, Kuroo’s physically stronger than me so that wouldn’t turn out well for me. But if it was anybody else, yeah I might do something along those lines. But I know Kuroo.” He turned his gaze towards his captain then. “You’ll treat her right, yeah?”

He nodded. “Of course, Kenma.”

“Then that’s all I need to know. I trust you. I trust both of you. Let’s go home.” He started to walk away and heard both of them sigh in relief before catching up with him, hand-in-hand.

Can I get a request with Asahi? I thought about this and just couldn't pass up the opportunity. This fragile glass bby, he's just waiting for his SO to finish up a few things around the house and letting their little sister and brother play with him. He gets French braids and some awesome eyeshadow and glitter lipgloss and some sweet tattoos from an aspiring artist. Yes he goes on their date like that, and yes his SO loves every second of it. He is too sweet.

my boi asaho is honestly the best Friend and Boy

-

“No, Hikari, wait ‘till I’m done with this braid!”

“Just lemme put a clip in, Takumi!”

“Hey, guys,” Asahi tried to medicate the situation, “no need for arguing. Takumi, you can finish the braid. Is there anything else you wanna do, Hikari?”

They said they were gonna be ‘just a few minutes,’ Asahi thought. Well, they said that the kids and I should have some bonding time. I’m sure this counts.

“Yeah, one second!” Hikari ran to her dresser and pulled out a few markers. “I can give you some tattoos! I’m really good at drawing dogs.”

“Wow! Do you draw a lot? …In sharpie?”

“Can I do your makeup?” Takumi spoke after finishing Asahi’s ninth braid.

Asahi was good with kids. He was patient, gentle, and caring. As long as the kids didn’t get scared the first time they see him and run away, they’ll usually cling to him like he was their mother. But these two, they were something else. They liked him, sure, but they didn’t treat him like a guardian figure like others. He’d only met them a handful of times, but they treated him as if he was their brother. His date said that was probably a good sign. Probably.

“Do I have any say in the matter?”

“Not really.”

Asahi laughed. Kids were always so honest. “Alright, then. But no eyeliner.”

—

“Oh my god. Asahi. What did they do to you.”

“We made him pretty!”

“…What they said.” Asahi stood before his date with one of their siblings on either side, decked in clips and lip gloss. “I would say it got a little out of hand, but I think that it could’ve been a lot worse and I don’t wanna push my luck.”

“Look at the pomeranian on his arm!” Haruki lifted the ace’s right arm, showing the moderately sized blob of black on his forearm.

“That’s great, Haruki, but, uh, what kind of marker did you use?”

“Sharpie.”

His date sighed. “Only draw on paper with Sharpie, okay? It’s hard to get off skin.”

“Okay, sorry.” How did they get the kids to listen to them so easily? Probably a lot of practise, Asahi figured.

“Do you like his hair?”

“I do, good job, Takumi. I assume you’re the one who did his makeup too?”

The young puffed up his chest in pride. “Yes I did!”

“Did you– oh my god, did you contour his face?”

“Now you can actually see his cheekbones, you’re welcome.”

—

“Again, sorry about them.”

“It’s no problem, really.” He took their hands in his, surprised at his own forwardness. “I still had a great time tonight. Even with some glitter landing in my food.”

They laughed. “So did I. You do pretty well with those two, they really like you. And if you thought that was bad, just wait ‘till you have to play dress-up.”

“Play what now”

[imaginevolleydorks]

Okay okay, tackle this however you want just MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!! Bokuto, with a gf/so that he's like "lightbulb! Amusement park!" spins the teacups so fast bc his big strong arms, and puts his arm around them on the twister, wins them prizes, and finally works up to the big boy coasters and the real brave one is his SO, God does he hold their hand so tight going down that DEATH DROP. That scream was him not her. He's a good sport, he tried, but he can't keep up with that roller coaster junkie.

im w bo on this one just sayin

-

“Bo,” she giggled, “I think I can hold at least some of them on my own.”

“What sort of gentleman would have his date hold everything– ah wait,” Bokuto bent over to pick up one of the many stuffed animals he’d acquired from various booths, only to drop two more on the way down. “I got it just–” and down went another two. His date laughed, and boy could he get used to hearing that.

“Here, we can put some in my bag. Besides, we can’t be carrying them when we go on,” she dramatically pointed across the theme park to one of the tallest rides there, “that.”

“…That? You wanna go on that? I-I mean, we can, if you want to, um, but maybe first we can go on the teacups again?” He started placing the stuffed pandas and owls and others into his date’s bag. “I just think that we should work our way up to that, y’know? Like, it’s sort of a big jump from what we’ve been doing this whole time.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.” She stood with a thoughtful expression adorning her (cute) face, then she lit up once more. “Let’s go on that first!” She pointed just left of the mega-ride to some sort of pillar. “The giant drop!”

“Giant drop? What happens on it?”

“Well, I don’t know, what do you think?” She pointed once more, and Bokuto watched as the ring of seats around the ride, each occupied, rose painfully slowly to the very top of the figure. They stayed there for however many seconds, and the spiker’s breath hitched with anticipation.

Then they dropped.

“What?! You want to go on that?!” He gestured wildly, dropping several other stuffed animals. “That’s probably worse than the roller coaster! People are straight up falling to their deaths, for fun! People are so messed up.”

“So… that’s a yes to the roller coaster?”

“Anything but that thing.”

—

“I lied, the giant drop was probably better than that.” Bokuto was still shaking after getting off the ride, he could see the tremors in his hand which was still being held by his date’s. She seemed rather unfazed by the ride and more by Bo’s reaction. “Sorry about squeezing your hand so hard. And almost throwing up on you.”

“And screaming in my ear.”

“And screaming in your ear.”

She laughed again (Bo could listen to that forever). “I’m just kidding, you have no reason to be sorry. It was really brave of you to go even though you were scared, actually.”

The ace visibly puffed up at the praise (he reminded her of an owl more and more everyday). “Well, I went ‘cause you wanted to. You had fun, right?”

“Heh, yeah. I really did. Not just the ride, the whole date. But, there’s one thing I’m not sure about.”

“Oh yeah?”

“If you’re scared of big rides and drops, how come you suggesting we go to an amusement park?”

Bo put a hand on the back of his neck. “Ah… I kinda wanted to win you a bunch of stuffed animals. Which I did! …But can I keep an owl one?”

More giggles. “Of course you did. Yes, you can keep the owl I named Tarou.”

[imaginevolleydorks]

If you're still taking requests can I suggest one with Kuroo who is frustrated w/ his permanent bedhead and his so is like "have you tried deep conditioning and straightening?" So they help the poor confused kitty and it actually kind of works, and wow does he like seeing them with both eyes. But his so keeps touching it bc they love the way it feels and it kind of poofs again, but it's okay bc Kuroo is pfect for them either way. This is kind of specific but I thought about it and it was great.

I want This Nya with his Hair Down, and I want it Now

-

“If you don’t want bedhead, then stop sleeping with pillows on either side of your head.”

“But that’s the only way I’m comfortable!”

“Well then why are you complaining, Kuroo? Have you tried straightening it?”

“Straighteners are tools of the Devil himself, forgive me if I don’t feel like burning everything above my collarbones.”

“Oookay, how about deep conditioning? That may help.”

“…Hm. haven’t really thought of that. How do I do that?”

“I feel like you’ll somehow make it worse–”

“Thanks for the moral support, babe.”

“–so I’ll help you out. Let’s go shopping.”

—

“Just tilt your head back, Tetsurou.”

“What if it gets in my eyes? I kinda need those, y’know.”

“You only ever use the left one ‘cause of the hair in your face, so let me get the conditioner in and we’ll straighten it after.”

“WhaT NO WE WILL NOT”

—

“Stop moving so much!”

“I can feel the heat on my face, it’s gonna burn me! This is why I don’t trust them!”

“If you flinching, then yeah, you’ll probably get burned! Just trust me, okay? You know I straighten my hair all the time, I’m not gonna let you get–”

“Ow!”

“–yeah that was my bad, sorry. Now I won’t let you get burned.”

—

“It’s so… soft. It’s so soft, oh my god. Feel this. It’s so soft.”

“I know, Tetsu, it is very soft.”

“It’s hella soft, how come I don’t do this all the time?”

“You’d probably set your hair on fire if you tried by yourself, that’s one reason.”

“You’re just so supportive of me and my choices, thanks so much babe.”

“You know you love my banter.”

“You know what I love? Depth perception. People and objects are three-dimensional figures and now I finally understand that.”

“I can’t even tell if you’re joking.”

“You wanna know what else I love? Your face. And with my newfound depth perception, I can see you and your face in a whole new way and I am loving it, honestly.”

“I understand the feeling; you know what it’s like to see both of your eyes?”

“I’m sure it’s wonderfu– What are you doing?”

“If you press your hair down, it just floofs back up. Sorta the way that it did pre-depth perception, but it just. Floofs.”

“You can floof it all day babe, but let me send a Snap to Kenma and Bokuto real quick.”

[imaginevolleydorks]

Can I get a request with Bokuto whose SO has just been sad for adaquately explained reason and just needs some time, but he feels so useless ya know? Like he's tried everything that they do that makes him feel better when he's sad and nothing works. He just loves them so much and wants them to feel better, but he NEEDS help. He calls in the smartest and most capable person he knows, Akaashi, bc Bo knows he isn't quite capable this time. Akaashi ends up helping both bc he is a good friend.

goin on a Feel Trip kiddos

-

“I swear I’ve tried everything, Akaashi!” He could hear the desperation in Bokuto’s voice, and he didn’t like it one bit. “I’ve tried talking to them, I got them their favorite foods, put on their favorite shows, and nothing!” He sat back on his bed and sighed. “I don’t want to make them feel like they need to be happy for my sake, because I know they’re not. I just, I don’t know, I want to be there for them. I just don’t know how. I know that they’re not pushing me away to hurt me, but I feel… useless.” Bokuto lowered his into his hands. “I know it’s not about me, but I can’t help it. I want to help them, and I can’t.” He sounded just despondent, something so uncommon in Bokuto’s usually bouncy voice. This was much more serious than Akaashi had originally thought.

After several seconds, Akaashi began. “It’s good to know that you can see the difference between what you know and what you feel. That’s the first step, so well done, Bokuto-san.” His captain barely responded to the praise, which was even more disconcerting. “I know that you know how depression can be. You know how it can come on without warning, affecting the sufferer along with their loved ones.” Bokuto nodded. “Then you also know that people deal with this onset in different ways. Where as you want to be surrounded in support and reassurance, others may like distance or silence.”

“Akaashi, can you talk to them please?!” Bokuto surged off the bed to stand in front of the younger. “You’re a lot better at explaining and comforting than I am, you have to help them!”

Akaashi hesitated. “Ah, I’m not sure about that, Bokuto-san. If they want to be left alone–”

“But I don’t think they do!” Half of his speaking was done with his hands. “Since I don’t know how to help them, they feel like they need to do it alone! But they don’t have to, you can help them! Please, Akaashi!”

There was no way he could turn down Bokuto after that, he was begging. “…That’s rather observant of you, Bokuto-san. Very well, can you let them know that I’m coming?”

—

Two hours had never gone slower on Bokuto’s life. When he finally received a text from Akaashi, he thought it’d be that he was returning to Bokuto’s place; instead, it told him to come to his significant other’s apartment. Needless to say, he ran.

—

“You didn’t need to sprint, Bokuto-san.”

“Yes I did,” Bokuto tried between breaths, “but that’s not important. What’s up with them?”

Akaashi leaned against the railing of the apartment complex. “It took a while to get the full truth out of them, but it was good for them. They said they felt guilty that none of your methods of help worked and that they withdrew. They didn’t mean to hurt you, but they didn’t know how to help both of you at the same time.” Bokuto visibly deflated at this, but Akaashi continued. “But, they recognized that it can’t stay this way. Pushing you away would only lead to more issues down the road, so they want that to change.”

“Did they say how I could help them?” There was finally some hope in his voice.

“They did. It’s such a simple concept that anybody could’ve looked over it, so nobody blames you. All you need to do is be there. Physically and emotionally, be there for them. You don’t need to say or do anything, just let them know they’re not alone.That’s all they need.”

“…That’s it? I can do that! Can I see them?!”

“You wouldn’t be here if they didn’t want you here. Go on, Bokuto-san.” Akaashi opened the door to the apartment, watched Bokuto slowly step inside, wished him luck, and closed it.

Omg!!! When I submitted the Bokuto/bird!Babe request I did not expect it to be that cute!!!! Like I just want it to continue so bad!! What if they have a "date" at the conservatory at night when it closes and Bo gets a personal introduction to all the birds and their personalities/quirks and gets to watch behind the scenes?? Feeding and care and other stuff. What if Bo kisses her with all the birds around and it's the happiest she's ever been? Ah!! I want to see them be happy, I need continuity!

mmmmmmmBOI

So she’s a very experienced and trusted worker at the conservatory, so she gets to come in to feed n take care of the birds when it’s closed, which is late in the evening

Soooo after some more pretty cringe-worthy attempts at flirting on Bokuto’s behalf, she asks if he wants to come by the place after-hours to see all the behind-the-scenes magic

How many times can bo fall in love with the same person, let’s find out

So they go on their date “bro it’s totally a date!!” “or she’ll lock u in and make u a part of the owl exhibit” “omg kuroo that’s almost as good” and she introduces him to some of their favorite birds, starting with the great horned owl that looks like bo

Its name is Kou and bo’s like “!!!!! like Koutarou!!” and won’t stop referring to it as his son, and Mystery Lady corrects him that it’s his daughter. He’s never felt more proud as a father he almost cried

Kou’s wing is damaged so she can’t fly or survive in the wild, thus being where she is. She’s very majestic and stoic, but she won’t shy away from bo and even let’s him pat her. “Maybe she thinks you’re an owl too” “!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He feels many exclamation points that day

He’s introduced to some other birds like hawks and smaller owls, each with their own reason to be there. he has so many children now

So many bird selfies

Then Mystery Lady feeds them and wow Bokuto’s a little terrified seeing it in real life but he is a Proud Papa nonetheless

The night’s coming to an end and bo reeeeally doesn’t want it to, but he knows that this is a now or never thing, so after she asks if he enjoyed his night he’s just “YES I DID CAN I KISS YOU”

And well. the rest is history (∩ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⊃━☆ﾟ

(Fem Euphonium anon) I personally think that asahi would play tuba and suga would play trombone and then kenma would play something like French horn and kuroo,bokuto, and daichi would play euphonium or tuba idk why I guess it's there personality's😅

i’m behind this, i’m behind this 100%. can u imagine Suga on trombone?? it’d be fantastic, my word. and them captains on low brass??? *inhales* Boi. There’d be some power in their sound, that’s 4 sure. Kenma’s just “plz chill kuroo im tryna catch this moewth i gotta focus” and Poor Asahi, he always thinks he’s gonna get stuck somehow in the sousaphone rip

I'm on mobile so I can't find the rules but I hope this is okay, it's just real cute and I can't stop thinking about it!! Head cannons/scenarios whatever you're comfortable with; Bokuto and a girl that works/volunteers at a conservatory in the birds of prey section. She handles the education birds that can't be released, and yeah that makes her really cool but she's so cute in her khaki shirt with a big owl on her arm. Bonus points if she doesn't know Bo's name, just his beautiful bird eyes.

i want a timeline of these two, i wanna see the dynamic

ok so the first time Bokuto goes to the conservatory he’s there for yknow. The Birbs. He goes w akaashi n konoha and as one would expect bo goes right to the owls 

He’s paying V CLOSE attention to the owls and points excitedly although he knows nothing rly about them except that they’re “fuckin’ sick” 

And out comes our and bo’s Mystery Lady, and perched on her arm is none other than a Great Horned Owl. bo is floored

She gives an educational talk about the bird and the other owls to all the ppl around, and bo keeps alternating between looking at the bird and at the girl because both r very Nice to look at

this Mystery Lady, bless her soul, lets bo ask more questions after the talk is over but she can tell that he’s only half there for the bird. She says, “Y’know, you two kinda look alike,” gesturing to the owl. Bokuto’s never been more lit. Akaashi n konoha r ready for the next life

The next time bo goes, he brings Kuroo and is praying to any and all higher powers that the Mystery Lady is there. He’s already told his Bro about his fated encounter, she’s gotta be there

Seems bo’s In Luck cuz lo and behold, that same face and same khaki shirt and same owl make a reappearance, and Kuroo’s just “oh that’s the girl you were talking about isn’t it” uNNESSECARILY LOUD just so she would hear and Bo,,,., u kno hes ded

After shielding his face during the whole educational talk again, she decides approach him and says “Long time no see, Owl Eyes! Who’s your friend?” (who could mistake bo’s hair tho she Knows)

So confident, so forward.,,., she’s perf for Bo

Kuroo never misses a chance to bring up his Mad Match-Making Skillz

*Screeches about the pep band hc* I'm in marching band/concert band and I play the Euphonium (I'm the only female Euphonium player in our school please save me😫)

((r u from hibke euphonium)) r i t e we have one (1) tuba. 1!! ooh who do u think would play euphonium?? I feel like Bokuto can play a lot of brass, so that’s on his list, umm also feelin shibayama. Yeah he’s killin it

concert/pep band au hc’s

my school’s concert band is the pep band is the marching band, so work w me on this. Here’s my personal lineup for Karasuno:

Hinata is a percussionist. Not the best, but his energy really livens up whatever they play. He’s particularly a fan of the crash cymbals, and a bunch of other miscellaneous noisemakers, like the rain stick

I originally had Kageyama pegged as a clarinet guy, but I like him better on flute. While in Kitagawa Daiichi, he got put in for a solo that was supposed to be Oikawa’s since he was first chair, and Oiks never let it go. Kags’ technical abilities are astounding, but he needs to work on blending with his section and the band as a whole

Tsukishima would play bassoon, but would try his hand at bari sax. He’s not a bad player by any means, but he just applied himself, who knows where he could get at Solo & Ensemble (it’s not like there’s a ton of bassoons anyway)

Our resident alto sax rep is Yamaguchi, and boi is he tryin. He may not be so technically or lyrically gifted, but the effort he’s giving to the craft is commendable. He’s been improving at s truly impressive rate, always spending study halls in a practice room and taking his sax home

Nishinoya is our other local percussionist, but he’s nuts. If he gets his hands on the drum set, oh man. Most people keep earplugs around, just in case. Prolonged solos are a specialty of his. He can cover any of the instruments at his hands, but he loves himself some bass drum, makin some rolling thunder. also he can play trumpet for some reason

You can’t even tell me that Tanaka wouldn’t play trombone. He would. He’d bring some serious power to the band’s all around sound, especially during pep band. He and Noya would always do the “when mom’s not home” thing

Ennoshita would play bass clarinet and it really adds an effect to their slower pieces, since the timbre of the instrument is so round and full. He doesn’t realize that he truly does his parts justice, but everyone else does

Narita plays clarinet, and he’s never been a brilliant player, but he recently played a song the band’s practicing but at warp speed and everyone’s just impressed at his tempo-keeping skills

Kinoshita plays oboe because he likes making people suffer

As flighty as his personality is, Asahi definitely brings power to his trumpet playing. He totally botched a solo at a competition before, and he quit the band program for a bit out of shame and guilt. But when he came back, he was stronger than ever and made sure he never screwed up an important solo again. Noya sometimes accompanies him with his trumpet

Suga is a great french horn player, and legit nobody knows how he does it. Nobody understands the instrument like him, not only because they don’t play it, but Suga makes it look really easy. Sure he’s not the best, but by no means is he the worst. “Suga-san y r u fisting ur instrument” “Tanaka just go play your slidey trumpet”

All of this sound needs a some low voices to rest on, and that’s where Daichi comes in. The plays tuba/sousaphone, and he’s there to do what he always does; create a strong and stable foundation for the rest of the group, whether or not his part is flashy doesn’t matter. He’s all about that bass. I also think he can play cello so
