A/N:â ooo, First. Ever. Request!! @im-cold-so-gimme-your-hoodie Thank you for sending one in, I hope this doesn't disappoint!! Sorry this one took a while, but thanks again! Enjoy!!!!
You were snuggled up in his arms, the warm blanket wrapped nicely around you two as you slept peacefully. That is, until the dreadful noise filled the room. You let out a small whine, burying your face into his chest some more, trying your hardest to avoid the responsibilities that awaited both of you.Â
A small whine left your lips again when you felt him pull away from the warm embrace, reaching over to turn off the alarm. Once Ushijima got up, you knew there was no way he was going back to sleep.
âToshi please.. come back.â There was a pout on your lips as you watched him sit up, lazily rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.Â
He turned to look at you and smiled softly. That smile alone already had you feeling motivated to start the day.Â
âY/N, weâre both captains. We have our responsibilities, and we can't be late. If we weren't captains, I'd come back to bed, you know that.â He leaned in to leave a small peck on your lips. The pout persisted but you knew he was right. It also sounded so strange, the idea of Shiratorizawa having another captain for the VBC. Ushi did such a good job, it'd be hard to find a replacement. It also seemed like you two had this same conversation every morning. You always wanted more Toshi cuddles, and he always gave you a blunt response explaining why that wasn't possible right now, but that youâd get them after your busy day was over. That, and the fact that you loved your team, gave you the motivation to push through your days and get all your tasks done.
âMm.. just because you asked so nicely.â You joked as you sat up, rubbing your eyes and following suit as he got up to get dressed. It was routine for you two to go for an early morning jog to get you all warmed up for morning practice.
Once you two were dressed and you had both brushed your teeth, you were both walking out of your apartment, hand in hand.Â
You wouldnât run a mile, perhaps half a mile just to truly wake you two up. Then youâd head back home and have some breakfast to serve as fuel for the morning practice that lay ahead for you two.Â
You made sure to always have some lunches prepared for him and for yourself. As captains you both were often occupied with your team duties, along with school duties, and it wasnât uncommon for both of you to forget to eat all your meals. So it was always sweet whenever Toshi packed lunches or vice versa.Â
There was always those 10 minutes after you two finished breakfast and before you two had to head off to school for morning practice. Those 10 minutes were cherished by both of you since you most likely wouldnât see much of each other until after practice was over in the afternoon.Â
You held his hands, gently massaging them. Your fingers ran across the callous that had formed on the palm of his hand, making them feel rougher yet still quite smooth to the touch. It was a soothing tradition you two would usually do during these 10 cherished minutes.Â
Heâd often do the same for you, making sure to ask if you had any pain on the parts heâd gently press on. It always made your heart melt as you watched him carefully massage your hands, getting them warmed up for the practice that awaited you.Â
Once those 10 minutes were over, you two would walk to school together, hand in hand before you had to part ways, headed to separate gyms for separate practices.Â
It was always so hard, parting ways and not having him beside you. However, his passion for the sport and his teammates was so contagious. Even though you loved your teammates and the sport itself, the idea of leaving Toshi always sucked since you loved the man so much.
He's always so eager to get started on practice, eager to improve his skills, eager to see his teammates grow. One of Toshiâs amazing qualities. He might not show it, and maybe his teammates donât notice it.. But you do. And that alone is motivation enough for you to let his hand go, giving him one last kiss before parting ways and heading to your own practice.Â
°âąÂ°âąÂ°âąÂ°âąÂ°
There were days when practice wouldn't be as fun or interesting as it usually was. This was one of those days. The coach had been going a bit harder on the team due to some errors he had noticed in a previous game. Even as a captain, there wasn't much you could do to save the team from a good scolding, a few laps around the court, and 100 serves.
It was clear to you that your team was exhausted, their serves no longer coming out as great as they usually would. Defense wasn't strong. Everything seemed to be slowly falling apart. You bit at your lower lip, trying to figure out what to say to truly get the team's spirit back up. Get them all to be comfortable with the energy created in the gym today.
You called for a water break and asked them to huddle up with their water bottles. The exhaustion was clear once they were all up close, the sweat clinging to every part of their bodies along with their tired eyes told you to make this quick so they could peacefully enjoy the remainder of their break.Â
"I know you guys are probably tired, and probably also bummed out with our performance at our last game..â there was a few mumbles that told you they completely agreed with that, âand maybe the coach's method isn't making you feel any better. But please remember it was a practice game. Practice makes what?"
You paused, and heard a few teammates mumble "Practice makes perfect.." which immediately brought a smile onto your face.
"Exactly. We may not have been at our best then, but that's why we learn from that game and improve what we did wrong last time. I know you guys are capable of that. We are unstoppable, after all. Next time we play them, they won't even know what hit them."
As you looked around, it was quite obvious the energy in the room had become better already. There were small smiles on their lips as they nodded, some starting to talk about what they noticed they were lacking at the practice game, others discussing what the other team had done that caught them off guard.
The pride in your chest expanded as you watched them discuss ways they could stop it from happening again, and then pairing up to practice certain techniques.
Eventually, your eyes drifted from your teammates to a figure that had been standing near the entrance while you gave your speech. Unsure of who had let them in or if they were looking for something or someone.
You were met with the sight of Wakatoshi, sweat clinging to his forehead, his team jacket draped around his shoulders, and the smallest smile on his lips. You smiled before walking over to him.
"Toshi- you came.." you immediately felt all soft and mushy. Usually, he'd still be stuck at practice, or you wouldn't see him until you two walked home together. But here he was, standing in front of you, as gorgeous as ever.
"Coach let us off earlier and I thought I'd stop by." He wrapped his arms around your waist to pull you in for a hug. A small whine escaped your lips since you were all sweaty, but he didn't seem to mind, which only made your cheeks heat up even faster. It didn't take long for you to hug back, snuggling your face into his chest.
PDA with Toshi nowadays was always at a max. When you two had first started dating, he kept his respectful distance and didn't engage in much PDA, both of you a bit shy and new to all of this. But as time went by, he became needy and always wanted to have his hands on you. Whether that meant hugging, holding hands, or simply having an arm around you. Sitting on his lap was always something he enjoyed and encouraged.
Anyone who was friends with you two had learned to get used to the PDA, not that it was too much to ask for since it never went to the extremes. But they'd always joke around and tell you two to get a room.
"I heard your speech."
You immediately looked up at him, the heat now spreading everywhere. "Oh- was it good?"
He smiled and nodded. "I should take some notes. Your team's mood completely changed.â
It was compliments like these that always made you feel so much better about being captain. You had earned the position and were apparently doing well. Confirmed by Toshi himself, so it must be true.
"Thank you, Toshi~ it really means a lot." A small pout appeared on your lips due to how soft you were at the moment. You gently cupped his cheeks and pressed a kiss onto his lips. He gladly kissed back, enjoying your presence while he could.
You pulled away, looking at the clock. The water break would be ending soon and you'd have to return to practice.
"I've gotta go back, but we're almost done. Do you want to stay and watch so we can walk home together?"
He nodded, "I wasn't planning on leaving without you."
Blunt as always, Ushijima. You smiled at that comment, nodding back and giving him one last kiss. "I'll be back soon. I promise."
And with that, you were off to practice. A bounce to your step, more motivation added now that your lovely boyfriend was here to watch your team's practice. You couldn't wait to show him just how awesome this team was. Though he already knew.
°âąÂ°âąÂ°âąÂ°âąÂ°
Though there were bad practice days, most were fun and quite productive. Today was one of those days. It was a Friday and the coach decided to reward you all by dismissing practice earlier. Though you were tired and could definitely use a nap, your thoughts immediately went to Ushijima. You wanted to see your boyfriend, definitely walk home together, and certainly nap together.
You made your way to the gym where their team was practicing, quite eager to see him. It had been a long day, and seeing him during lunch wasn't enough. Once you got to the gym, you quietly pushed the doors open, letting yourself in since this definitely was not your first time doing this.
The team was used to you coming around the time their practice ended, waiting for Toshi so you two could walk home together. Or perhaps coming to give him something he had forgotten. The team all loved you since they got to see a new side of Ushijima whenever you were there. The soft side. The side that peppered kisses all over your face and whispered how much he had missed you throughout the day.
The thought alone made you crave your boyfriend's touch. You'd get it soon enough. Patience was key in these situations.
As you walked into the gym quietly, you were right on time to see the famous Ushijima spike. It never failed to amaze you just how talented he was. Was there anything he couldn't do?
You stood near the entrance, not really wanting to disturb practice since it would probably upset Washijo sensei.
"Y/N!!" You flinched at the sudden scream of your name. It was Goshiki. That brought a small smile on your face as he waved, the rest of the team soon joining in and waving as well, even Shirabu was waving with a smile. Your eyes went to Ushijima, who was smiling as well. The sight alone made your stomach flip. He was so pretty. Too pretty for his own good.
Luckily, after they greeted you, they went straight back to practice. Even Washijo sensei had greeted you, probably already used to you arriving around this time to wait for Ushijima.
Once practice was over, he walked over to you with his water bottle. You smiled softly as he approached, meeting him halfway and wrapping your arms around him, resting your face comfortably in his chest. You had missed him so much.
"Ready to head home?" He asked.
"Please. I want to shower and take a nap with you."
"Sounds good."
It definitely was a sight to see. Shiratorizawa's captains snuggled up, shamelessly hugging and kissing as they talked about how much they had missed each other and asking if they had eaten, how their day was, everything. Whispering sweet nothings, before intertwining their fingers and walking out of the gym together, eagerly heading home.
°âąÂ°âąÂ°âąÂ°âąÂ°
Getting home from a long day of practice and other responsibilities was possibly the best feeling ever. Walking in, taking your shoes off, setting your bags down, slumping down onto the couch for a few minutes before one of you got the motivation to get up to prep the shower.
Yes. Showering together was essential to ending the day right. After a whole day of nonstop moving, it was nice to be able to wash off all the sweat and just enjoy that moment of intimacy.
You'd pour some shampoo onto the palm of your hand, making sure not to drop it before reaching and gently starting to apply the shampoo onto his hair. He made sure to always lower his head to make it easier for you to apply it onto his hair. Your fingers gently massaged his scalp, and you couldn't help but smile at the sight of him with his eyes closed, enjoying your touch.
You'd soon help him wash it off, making sure to warn him that there was still shampoo on his hair, or when he could open his eyes. The first time he had gotten shampoo in his eye was devastating. Toshi in pain was a big no no.
Of course, he'd apply shampoo onto your hair for you as well. It was a mutual thing, always full of affection. You two would take such good care of each other. Making sure you were both nice and clean before wrapping a towel around yourselves and rushing to your room to change into comfortable clothing.
After that much needed shower, you'd find yourself sitting on Toshi's lap as you two ate dinner. Though there was a working chair for you to sit at, you found yourself most comfortable with this seat, Toshi's lap. You fed him his food, and he'd feed you yours as well, both making sure the other ate. Making sure you were both full and your stomachs were happy.
After dinner came brushing your teeth together. You'd be standing beside each other, staring at each other through the mirror with soft smiles and tired eyes. Sometimes you'd lean your head onto his arm or shoulder, already feeling the tiredness creeping up on you. It didn't take long for you two to finish and head straight to your room.
You'd both plop down onto the bed, immediately going under the covers and cuddling up with each other. The warmth of the bed and Toshi combined made your eyes close instantly. His chest was so warm. He smelled so good. He was just.. so comfy. Cuddly Toshi was arguably the best Toshi.
You cuddled up with him some more, leaning in and placing lazy kisses all over his jaw and neck, nuzzling your face into the crook of his neck. The sensation made him let out a small chuckle. The sound itself brought you so much joy, making you open your eyes, once again craving the sight of your boyfriend. You were met with the prettiest smile ever. You loved seeing him smile. It was a sight seen mainly by you, caused by you. His smile was so contagious. You found yourself smiling back as he gently cupped your cheek and leaned in to kiss you. One kiss turned into 5, and 5 turned into 20. Those kisses were all so soft. His lips were soft. They were addictive. Being in his arms was addicting.
"I love you so much, Toshi." You said as he finally pulled away, now settling with cuddling you as he closed his eyes, only for them to open again at your words.
"I love you too, Y/N. So much." You stared at him adoringly for a few seconds, gently caressing his soft cheek before simply cuddling up with him again.
"Goodnight, Toshi~"
"Goodnight, Y/N."
And with that, you two were fast asleep, comfortable in each other's arm.
This was your daily routine. Sometimes it might be tiring, some days it might not go as planned. But knowing that you'd get to do all this with him made any struggles you might face durable. Made getting through anything possible. Why? Because at the end of the day, you had Ushijima Wakatoshi. Youâd get to come home to him. And that was more than enough.
