a/n: hi, my lovely!! aaaaa i'm so sorry this is sooo late! i've genuinely been buried in so many things these past few weeks, so i hope that me writing this through my brainfog hasn't make the quality any worse, but here it is!! <3
@frostfall-matches, i match you up with...
⚽︎ Sae Itoshi
Why?
Raven, the second I saw your description, I instantly thought of Sae. Now, Sae might be an unusual pick because, on paper, he seems like the type who wouldn't be into romance or the type who wouldn't make a good boyfriend. Additionally, you two are quite similar, and oftentimes the concept of compatibility can be misconstrued as “opposites attract”. However, I mean it wholeheartedly when I say this: Sae would fucking love you.
First of all, your independence would not rattle him, nor would it clash with his own independent tendencies. Sae is the definition of self-sufficient. He doesn’t need anyone to hold his hand through life, nor does he want a partner who’d make him feel like a teacher at a daycare. Your independence is a turn-on to him, as it shows your strength and confidence! Sae can’t stand people who can’t rely on themselves and push themselves to be better on their own accord, and the fact that you and he can relate to each other in that sense would be such a huge win for him.
Your sharpness and bluntness wouldn’t even make Sae blink. While others would shrink back and take it personally, Sae actually thrives in that environment. Sae appreciates straightforwardness because it’s a value of his to be no-bullshit, and knowing that you say it as it is, that you don’t lie to spare someone’s feelings, and that you don’t suck up to him like everyone else, is actually quite comforting to him.
Not to mention, while others might stray away from your morally grey worldview and emotional detachment, it’s actually a huge comfort to Sae, who’s basically the same. Contrary to popular belief, I truly believe that Sae craves some type of emotional connection, and if not that, being understood emotionally. And with you, he has both! Because the same way he would never judge you for having that worldview, he knows that you would never judge him for it either. You can have nuanced discussions without it ending with you calling him a bad person or vice versa, and that thought is like a warm hug to him, AKA, the only type of hug he likes (other than your physical hugs, but that’s besides the point!).
One of your core values is humor, and even though Sae seems like a brick wall upon first glance, he can actually be quite funny! He has that subtle, dry, sarcastic type of humor that meshes perfectly with your dark humor. You’d be surprised to know just how funny Sae thinks you are, and just how happy he gets when you two fall into that rhythm of throwing jabs at each other, laughing together, and just connecting emotionally in that way. Besides you, Sae doesn’t have anyone whom he can let his guard down around like that… so something as simple as exchanging jokes with you is incredibly refreshing to him. (Also, I firmly believe that Sae would have the weirdest Instagram reels ever and that you two would die scrolling through them together.)
Oh, Raven… Sae would not be able to take his eyes off of you! I firmly believe you’re his exact physical type. Sae thinks everyone is half-baked, boring, and uninteresting. So the fact that you actually have your own sense of style and individuality would be a huge turn-on for him! Also, you mentioned having strong legs…
(Taken straight from Sae's Blue Lock Wiki, mind you...)
And girl. Do I need to say more about your physical type? Sae is PrettyBoy™!
Headcanons!
My GOD, girl, you give this guy grey hair. Every time you two go out in public together, he loses you somehow. However, he always finds you shortly afterwards and just gives you the softest look ever while interlocking his fingers with yours. Despite his tough exterior, he actually loves that you need him for something. It makes him feel like a good boyfriend, because he, too, is new to romance and doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. “Stick close to me, idiot.”
You and Sae LOVE traveling abroad together! He actually loves how fearless and adventurous you are. He’s so used to people being nervous and guarded around him, so your lively nature would help bring him out of his shell. “Cool, let’s explore.”
Your dates with Sae actually vary a lot! You two have your go-to hiking/jogging dates that you go on every week, but you also try new restaurants and cafés together frequently, go to those painting cafés (he’s so bad at painting, but you have grace with him HAHAH), cook together at home, etc.!
Since Sae is so emotionally and physically constipated, he basically only affectionately touches you. And best believe, he touches you A LOT. Randomly pulling you into hugs, kissing your forehead, stroking your cheeks, hugging you from behind, holding your hand, playing with your piercings, etc.. But he only does this when you two are together alone. Mostly at home.
ঌ Ryomen Sukuna
Why?
Sukuna doesn’t bow at anyone’s feet. He’s cocky, has a huge God complex, and will never change his ways for anybody… that’s what he thought before he met you, at least. Yes, babe. The King of Curses would unravel because of you.
First of all, Sukuna hates weakness. He gets incredibly bored with clingy, needy, and overly emotional people. You, however? You’re independent, self-secure, and decisive, and that’s exactly what made him interested in the beginning. The fact that you don’t suck up to him and stand your ground around him solidifies the thing he knew about you the second he laid his eyes on you for the first time: you’re strong enough to stand beside him, not beneath him. And for The King of Curses, that’s fucking rare.
Much like Sae, your humor aligns perfectly with Sukuna’s. You’re sharp, blunt, sassy, and even a little mean sometimes, without even realizing it. And instead of being offended, Sukuna would actually adore that. Nobody (other than that annoying, blue-eyed rat…) dares to talk back to him, so the fact that you feel comfortable enough to poke fun at him, tease him, and truly banter with him almost makes him feel weak in the knees. He thrives off of banter like that, so your guys’ aligned humor is super important to him.
Raven, Sukuna is literally heaven for adrenaline junkies like you. Life with him would never be boring, whether you want to go on an adventure, argue with someone, or cause some havoc, Sukuna’s got you! More often than not, he’s the one initiating the chaos, not only because it entertains him, but because he knows how much of a value it is to you! You’re invaluable to him; why wouldn’t he cause more trouble for the sake of his queen’s happiness?
Your moral compass shifts with circumstance. You’re pragmatic, not rigid. And Sukuna is the same! He doesn’t live by anyone else’s rules but his own, and that doesn’t repel you. You understand it, even if you don’t fully condone it all the time (he says some crazy shit sometimes…). You’re one of the few people who can actually exist around him without flinching at what he is, and that makes his heart throb, no matter how heartless he acts sometimes.
And yes... I know Sukuna isn't exactly "pretty boy", but he's regal. Beautiful. Elegant in a dangerous, yet striking way. And best believe that this regal man is obsessed with your appearance. You're such a juxtaposition to him. You look soft, yet you're so strong, and that intrigues him to no end.
Headcanons!
Despite him pretending not to care, he notices the small things. He notices when you’ve toned your hair, gotten new earrings, when your hands are cold, when you’re itching to buy a new game, whatever! He notices everything, and he shows that he cares in his own… affectionate-but-slightly-toxic way? “You did your hair. Hmph. Suits you. Not that it matters.”
Even though he knows that you can handle yourself, he is fiercely protective of you. He’ll absolutely tear a new one into anyone who bothers you, but instead of admitting that it’s because he actually cares about you, he’ll say something like, “Why would I let some worthless insect touch you? That would be disgraceful to me.”
Sukuna adores how much you laugh. It’s a sound he could listen to forever. On top of that, it’s rare for him to genuinely chuckle, but around you, he does all the time. It still surprises him that you can make him laugh so easily, but afterwards, he’ll scowl and grumble something under his breath to cover the fact that he is slightly embarrassed.
He gives you some stupid nicknames. Brat, weakling, pretty thing, smartass, giggles, queen, empress, and worst of all, concubine when he’s in a teasing mood.
MELTINGGG. I love the matches, they're both amazing picks and I really enjoy both of them A LOT. The reasoning is so well thought-out and it makes so much sense. All the headcanons are so sweet too 🥺 Obsessed. I have a hard time picking out what my favorite bits are, but perhaps all the casual touches shared with Sae, and getting Sukuna to crack a genuine smile and laugh... ♡
I love the way you write, it's so thorough but also phrased so casually, comfortably, and lightheartedly that it makes for such an easy read. So so lovely. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS EXCHANGE WITH ME ♡
This may be a unique pick of Raichi for me. I was so focused on your likes and type, I could have gone with Kunigami, but all I could think of is his NEL version :<<<
You're both loud and energetic, that's a plus.
I must say, Raichi absolutely adores you and loves the way you dress up. In fact, that is what attracted him to you in the first place.
For whatever reason, I can really see you and Raichi vibing.
At first, you found him really annoying because 1) he's loud and 2) has a short temper. But then he slowly realised that, the moment you let him talk and listen to what he says, his tone changed to a more mellow one.
At first, you two weren't in great terms, it's definitely an enemies to lovers trope. The more he realises that you listen to him and you let him do the talking, he suddenly realises "wait, Aya is just my type." That type? Someone who takes a step back and support him.
Raichi is a picky eater, and if he doesn't like it, he will give it to someone - for whatever reason, he loves watching you eat, and he thinks its cute.
Every time you talk about the things you love, he gets lost. Before he met you, he's the type to be making comments and speaking his mind out, but when it comes to you, he listens with intention.
Yes, his temper is still something he needs to work on, and so whenever he has outbursts, you have taught him how to brush it off and laugh about it. It's a slow progress, and he got there eventually.
The fact that you like cooking food, he appreciates that you cook for him. HECKKKK the first time you did made him shrimp tempura (his favourite), felt like he found the one.
I take it as a gymrat you're probably also counting calories? 😅 Raichi appreciates it when you know your stuff, especially when it comes to cooking meal preps, he knows he's in great hands.
Have you seen his built? OH DEAR, there is a reason why he calls it 'sexy soccer', this guy is BUILT and BUFF.
Haikyuu: Miya Osamu
Volleyball ✅, Food ✅ what more can I say.
As soon as food is mentioned, I immediately thought of him.
I think he owns an onigiri shop in the time-skip, and guess what? I can already see that you have helped him come up with interesting recipes and combination of onigiri flavours.
For whatever reason, I can SOOOOOO see the two of you being business owners of some food truck because you two share the love for food. PLUS, it's in Kansai too, which, to me is literally the food capital of Japan hahaha
Osamu toooootally dislikes it whenever his twin Atsumu would comment about you, he gets hurt first and he would fight his twin to take back whatever he said that he may find that would offend you.
At the same time, you two love teasing/making fun of Atsumu in an exchange banter.
You sometimes become the mediator between the two of them especially when you see them fighting in front of you.
Osamu gets really embarrassed after that.
His competitive side unfolds especially when you're either playing video games.
Osamu is very patient with you. Maybe you were busy or procrastinating, he wants to be there as much as he can to somehow help you lessen the workload.
Should you have ghosted him or go AWOL during the talking stage, he wants to make sure you're okay. He's a firm believer of "the way to a person's heart is through their stomach", even if you don't ask for it, he would drop off snacks, bento or onigiri to you.
I'm so sorry this took a while, I spent so much time trying to grab as much information that I can to make them come to life / close to canon somehow (ft. some headcanons, maybe? hahaha). And I think I purposely held it as well so that I am banking Haikyuu characters to know more about them and stuff.
MY LOOOOVE! OH MY GOD I DID NOT EXPECT THAT?? First of all, RAICHI IS SUCH AN INTERESTING PICK!! I totally thought he'd hate my guts (to be fair, you did say we'd have an enemies to lovers vibe...) so this is SO SURPRISING HAHA!
and omg OSAMU?? AGAIN, DID NOT EXPECT! I love him so much tho oh my god this is literally so good IM EVAPORATINGGG!!
Thank you so much for doing this exchange with me, jei! I love it so so much!! <33
Hey love, definitely not me pushing, you take all the time you need, but when do you think you might have the match-ups out by? Again, no rushing, just genuine curiosity, you definitely seem really busy with your stuff coming out! xoxo Take care!
hi love! don't worry at all, i completely understand!! i apologize for being so offline recently... life sometimes hits you like a bus, but don't worry! expect them to be posted shortly <3
a/n: hi, my lovely!! aaaaa i'm so sorry this is sooo late! i've genuinely been buried in so many things these past few weeks, so i hope that me writing this through my brainfog hasn't make the quality any worse, but here it is!! <3

hi babies!! i feel like im always making posts like this, but DONT WORRY GUYS, all the matchups are nearly done! ive just been so stressed with back to school stuff that it has taken up all my time, but trussttt i havent forgotten about yall! keep an eye out, they'll be out soon <33
-> [ Your more social personality will help pull him out of his shell. ] Thankfully, you’re not obnoxious and overbearing like a certain white-haired blue-eyed sorcerer. Still, you’re friendly and more than willing to initiate conversations, which is helpful for getting to know the more closed-off types like him. You’re easy-going and try not to take things to heart even if he’s a bit curt during your first handful of interactions. But, that said, it also helps that you’re ultimately more on the introverted side. Nanami definitely needs alone time to recharge, and being with someone who can relate (and who can understand that needing space isn’t a slight against someone) is honestly so relieving. Honestly, when the two of you are still in the early stages of friendship, he probably wouldn’t think much of it if you went a few days without responding to him.
-> [ Despite his serious exterior, you find that you can actually joke around with him quite well. ] Initially, you weren’t quite sure how he’d take to your jokes and quips—but he responds to them surprisingly well. Sometimes he just gives you this unimpressed, deadpan look (it makes you laugh regardless), but other times you’re able to get a chuckle out of him. Sarcastic banter with him is a common occurrence, and while he is quite blunt, he’s usually not very mean about it. Considering he ended up falling into a mentor role for Yuji quite naturally, it’s safe to say he’s fairly emotionally intelligent. He might not value emotions much as a decision making tool, but he can have thoughtful, emotionally-considerate discussions when needed. All in all, he could certainly fit into your preferred type. You might be able to soften his edges a little, even.
In addition to that… Nanami may not be constantly in the gym, but he does have to stay fit given his occupation. Surely he has to work up and keep up on his training here and there, which means that you could certainly buddy up with him in the gym sometimes. Perhaps he’d start going a bit more often with you, as a way to spend a bit more time with you.
-> [ You’re never going to know that he fancies you. ] Not until he says anything, anyway. Nanami would be very much drawn to your warmth, that optimism and zest for life that motivates you. Yuji called him gloomy once—and that isn’t entirely inaccurate. He has a very pragmatic, realistic mindset… but it can be hard not to fall into more pessimistic thoughts given his line of work. Your warmth would act as a buffer for the grief that he so often has to deal with. While his growing affection for you is subtle, Nanami is not the type to beat around the bush. It wouldn’t take all that long for him to tell you, and his confession is as straightforward as ever (though still quite sweet, really; he can be a bit of a romantic at times).
-> [ Nanami would likely lean towards quality time and acts of service as his main love languages. ] Quality time being one of these shouldn’t be surprising, given the way he tries to lock down on the time spent at work. Once you’re his partner, his resolve to avoid “overtime” only solidifies further, because he wants to maximize the amount of time he is able to spend with you. He is very protective of his free time, and that includes time with you! As for acts of service, he just really likes to take care of you. Of course, he’ll still encourage self-sufficiency and independence, but he does like doting on you here and there if you’ll let him.
-> [ Nanami is a big foodie himself, so you’ve found yourself a kindred spirit with him. ] He already enjoys cooking for himself, and he’d very much enjoy cooking for you once you’re together, too, especially after seeing how much you love it. Never feel ashamed about your big appetite around him. If you want to help him cook dinner, he is thankfully not one of those people who can’t cook with others in the kitchen. You two work seamlessly together, delegating tasks without issue, and you both clean up while you go. It’s not uncommon to spend evenings making dinner, settling down on the couch, and watching a cooking show together. Of course, dinner dates out at restaurants is fairly common as well, especially when both of you have the time and energy to hit the town.
-> [ Dating is hard for jujutsu sorcerers. ] The job is often incredibly dangerous (especially so in the current era), only given to a select few with special abilities, and takes up a lot of a person’s precious time since there are so few sorcerers available to manage threats. Someone like Gojo might struggle a bit with dating a civilian, for example, due to his sheer importance and how busy he is within the world of jujutsu sorcerers. Most civilians would really struggle with understanding and accepting that, because they aren’t a part of that world. They don’t have that background knowledge, nor context surrounding why Gojo is so important. Nanami, however, has lived both lives—he could do well either with another jujutsu sorcerer, or a civilian. He does eventually want to retire and let jujutsu society live in his past, but that won’t happen for a while.
Of course, if you were a jujutsu sorcerer, that would certainly save him the trouble of trying to explain the supernatural side of life which most people aren’t even aware of. You’d understand that missions sometimes crop up unexpectedly or run late, that he’s going to come home injured sometimes, and there might be a day where he just ends up dead. You’d understand all that, because that would be your life, too. Nanami can be a bit of a worrier, though it doesn’t always show on his face. Honestly, if you were just a normal civilian, he’d have so much less to worry about in regards to your safety… (Maybe he should encourage you to take a break from being a sorcerer and go back to your studies, finish university and maybe go onto getting a masters or PhD… Hmm…) But regardless, whatever the situation is, he’s willing to tackle it.
✦ ADDITIONAL HEADCANONS ->
He lowkey malfunctions whenever you use affectionate little petnames with him. Sometimes he scowls at you a bit, but don’t stop referring to him with them, please. Keep calling him love, baby, darling, sweetheart—anything.
Nanami loves your eyes. Having bigger eyes makes you seem very youthful and curious, and he thinks they make you look so much more expressive.
While you may take bad news harder than most, Nanami can provide you with a bit of emotional stability. If you need to vent, he’ll listen. If you want solutions, he’ll help you brainstorm. Sometimes he’s a bit awkward with it, but it doesn’t take long for him to get his footing when it comes to comforting you.
He may not participate in some of your hobbies (video games, acting), but will encourage them all the same. You should be enjoying your free time as much as possible.
Admittedly, Nanami occasionally gets a little, just slightly, exasperated with your chronic lateness and lack of focus if it results in you forgetting things. But he has patience and grace, and he has no intentions of making you feel bad for it considering it is very much related to your ADHD. So long as you’re not late to—or forgetting—really important things, it’s fine.
When you guys are cuddling, especially at night as you’re both dozing off, Nanami will often trace the scar beneath your eyebrow.
✦ OTHER CONSIDERATIONS -> Gojo Satoru, Tsukumo Yuki
THE BLONDIE HIMSELLFFFFFF!!!! 🤭 I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE NANAMI SO MUCH IM GENUINELY SO HAPPY WITH THIS RESULT! Raven oh my god you must’ve laced your writing with crack because WHAT THE FUCK IM ADDICTED
@frostfall-matches you godsend. you angel. YOU WITCH!!! THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGGG
-> [ Where did you two first meet? At the gym, of course. ] Even before joining Blue Lock, Kunigami was very dedicated to working out and training. He’s fond of jogging around his neighborhood and has some basic workout equipment at home, but if he wants to use any large equipment or jog indoors on winter days that are just a bit too cold? You’ll find him at the gym! Perhaps you recently moved to Akita, or perhaps you’re just trying out a different gym—in any case, you first lay eyes on Kunigami there. Initially, the two of you just share brief, impersonal glances as one of you passes by the other; you’re both focused on your respective workouts, after all. But then your gaze starts lingering on him when he isn’t looking, and you swear you’ve almost caught him staring at you sometimes as well.
Social as you tend to be, you’re the one that approaches him first since you two seem to run into each other so often. It’d be nice to have a workout buddy! Kunigami can be a little awkward around strangers, but he’s not necessarily unfriendly. A friendship blooms quite naturally between you two, even if conversations are just a little stilted at first. He wouldn’t take offense if you were feeling drained and didn’t text back or feel like hanging out, though he might start wondering if he did something wrong. Poor guy.
-> [ He’s a good fit for what you look for in a partner. ] You mention loving gymbros considering you’re a gymrat yourself, and you’d ideally want to be with someone who can share that passion with you. Honestly, Kunigami would do best with someone like that himself. It’s just such a big part of his life that he would need to be with someone that can respect the amount of time he puts into exercising at the very least, but he’d love a partner who can work out with him! So, you two are definitely a match made in heaven in that regard. He’s also tall and has a great physique, which you’ll definitely appreciate. Other than that, Kunigami is fairly easy-going and can handle both banter and more serious moments.
-> [ It doesn’t take long at all for Kunigami to start developing a crush on you. ] You’re such a genuine and warm person, always making it a point to treat people with kindness and respect and to stand up for those being mistreated, funny but emotionally intelligent… Plus the fact that he finds your optimism and love for life endearing. He’d be hard-pressed to find something to dislike about you. Kunigami is able to keep his budding feelings under wrap pretty well, though he absolutely has moments where he becomes flustered if you do something especially cute or sweet around him. He pines for you for quite a while without confessing, since he would really rather not rush into any potential relationships.
-> [ Kunigami is sweet and would never make you feel bad about your appetite. ] You’re obviously pretty darn healthy, given the fact that you’re so physically active. With as much as you work out, it only makes sense that you’re eating a lot. Besides, he finds people who really enjoy food to be rather endearing. (It’s not like he can say anything against a big appetite anyway, considering he’s a big eater as well). He’d love accompanying you to whatever new restaurant you want to try, and is happy to stay in and help cook a meal with you at home. Many of your dates involve food to some degree or another, even unintentionally. There are so many times where you two are just out and about elsewhere and one of you suggests “hey, let’s stop at that café!”
-> [ Your strong sense of justice would appeal to him. ] Kunigami is someone with a strong set of morals and sense of justice himself, seen time and again in the way he insists on playing fair and giving some people the benefit of the doubt when others wouldn’t (i.e. Kuon). The bottom line is, basic respect and kindness are very important to him, and he tends to struggle with being around those who are unnecessarily mean and cold. He can’t see himself being with someone who doesn’t put effort into treating him and others well.
-> [ While there is a definite change to him post-Wildcard, Kunigami is still Kunigami. ] Compared to before, he’s now more withdrawn and sullen, with his focus solely being on becoming stronger, better, more skilled. He looks like all the joy has been sucked out of him… and maybe it has. Assuming you’re on the outside when he’s stuck in Blue Lock, you’re probably not going to see or hear from him until they all get that break prior to the NEL starting. Still, perhaps surprisingly given this shift in his demeanor, he does message you while on the bus back home and is willing to meet up with you. He’s… not really sure how you’ll react to how he’s changed, but decides not to think about it too much until he sees you. Honestly, he’s half-expecting a breakup and doesn’t want to get his hopes up too much because right now, he can’t see himself suddenly just acting like he used to before he went through the Wildcard program.
You noticed something might be up while he was texting you. His responses seemed a little shorter than before, but you figure maybe it’s just because he’s tired and it’s been a while since you two have even talked because of the nature of the entire Blue Lock program.
And when he eventually shows up in front of you… You are a little surprised, certainly, but your heart aches for him. Kunigami won’t tell you everything he went through—he shares some things, more general stuff about the overall structure of the program, but you can’t really glean anything that might’ve happened to cause such a distinct shift in him. All he says is that he “had to learn to be different” in order to succeed and achieve whatever it is that he wants to achieve related to Blue Lock. Regardless, though, you’re the type of person to give others the benefit of the doubt. You know he won’t admit it, but you can tell he’s struggling a little, and you’re not just going to abandon him when he might actually really need you. You can tell that he’s still him beneath that colder exterior.
✦ ADDITIONAL HEADCANONS ->
He finds your sense of style to be really unique, and pretty darn cute. He is fascinated by your piercings, and whenever you get a new one he’s really good at reminding you to do the aftercare.
Video game dates are fairly common, and he likes seeing whatever you get up to in any games that aren’t multiplayer.
You just love making him laugh, especially when you can manage to get those belly-deep guffaws out of him.
Both of you would understand the middle child struggles. It’s also very hectic whenever one of you goes to visit the other’s family, but it’s funny because you’re both obviously very used to having sisters. On a similar note, his parents absolutely adore you to bits and they easily welcome you into the family.
He’s extremely interested in your participation in drama/theatre! Any time you have a show, he’ll be there. Honestly, a lot of it is new to him, because it wasn’t an area that he was ever interested in—but he’s absolutely going to take an interest in it now, because it’s important to you.
One of Kunigami’s favorite places to kiss is that little mole by your lip.

Hello. I saw that your application process is open and the post is here so I decided to give it a try. The post was with characters from 2 anime (I don’t remember the name of the first one, but the second one Haikuu (I hope I wrote it correctly)).
I am a girl with a height of 163 cm. Very thin (although I don’t know if 58 kg is considered a weight for my height). In general, I am kind and gentle, but sometimes it is advisable to have more patience with me, because who among us is without sin? In terms of I sometimes suffer from insomnia or undereat (in general I eat little, which is why my weight fluctuates), but I am working on it. Very tactile (hugs and kisses are a must) actually my love languages are physical contact and words with a pinch of time passing (especially if it's a movie marathon). I like sweets and baked goods (especially homemade ones (thanks to my mom>) and in general I love homemade food). I love art and from time to time I draw something on a piece of paper. Along with this love is a love for music (to which I draw... or simply forget about drawing and start dancing) and soft toys (the Ikea shark is our everything). Pastel or warm colors, skirts and a beautiful top, dresses are a must-have part of my wardrobe.
I hope it's not too much
a/n: hi love!! it's absolutely not too much. i hope you like it!! <3
@yoykatamashi, i match you up with...
♡︎ Hinata Shoyo
Why?
Hinata is a super fun, lively, yet deep and complex character. People see him as this hyperactive, dumb little boy who doesn't know anything; however, he's probably one of the most emotionally intelligent characters in Haikyuu. And that's exactly what you need in a man. Hinata can pick up on your cues super easily. He can tell when you need a hug, reassurance, a kiss, or space. When you're all good, he's always showering you in hugs and kisses, and is constantly talking your ears off about the dumbest things. And when you need some distance, that teaches him to be grounded, as well. He learns how to tone his hyperness down, yet how to still be there for you as support.
Hinata completely understands your struggles and makes a huge effort to help you with your insomnia and undereating. But he doesn't have a savior complex. He doesn't want to help you to fuel his own ego, for his own agenda, or to make him feel better about himself. He genuinely cares about you and wants to see you get better, and all of his attempts at helping come from a good place in his heart. He loves you so much, and seeing you suffer isn't something his heart can handle forever. So he wants to help! He does research for you, encourages you in so many amazing ways, and is patient with you! He understands how difficult it is, and he never wants to add to that pressure.
And the chemistry? Off the charts. Oh, you two would have so much fun together. Cooking together, going shopping for new stuffed animals, watching movies together, him teaching you how to play volleyball, you teaching him how to dance without looking like a fool... You would not be able to stay away from each other!
The moral of the story is, you and Hinata complete each other while simultaneously helping each other grow and improve. Not only that, but you two also get along perfectly. He's a lively ball of sunshine, and you're a calmer ball of sunshine. And Hinata would be absolutely head over heels for you.
Headcanons!
Hinata LOVES your sense of style. He loves the fact that you wear dresses, skirts, bright colors, and just girly outfits! He’s already a vivacious guy who has a huge zest for life and a positive outlook on the world, and the fact that you reflect that part of his personality through your attire? Chef’s kiss! He’s constantly showering you in compliments, telling you how much he loves your style, and even asking to style you!
He adores your stuffed animals. He would get so many of them for you, as well! He thinks it’s adorable that you find joy in small things such as stuffed animals, and he can relate to it as well, which is a huge bonus in his book! He gives them nicknames, absentmindedly hugs them when he’s near them, and handles them cautiously. He never wants to be rough with them because he knows how much they mean to you.
You loving homemade food is a huge plus to Hinata, because SO DOES HE! You two always have dinner dates at home, where you cook together, eat together, and do the dishes together. Ever since meeting you, food has become more than just sustenance to Hinata; it has become a source of connection. A way to show you that he adores you and loves to spend time with you.
Hinata wants a girl with her own passions in life. Since he’s a very motivated, passionate, and hard-working person, he can’t be with a woman who can’t understand that or relate to that. So the fact that you dance, draw, and love music? He LOVES that. He loves that you have your stuff going for you, and he always encourages you to branch out and to challenge yourself, while still having fun! It doesn't have to be serious; you just have to have something you love. And the fact that you love the arts is so, so beautiful to him.
Your guys' song is Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay!
a/n: your guys' favorite <3 also this sent me into an orbit as a kunigami girl, i need him (and tell me why oliver aiku is in every single one LMFAO)
x When you two are walking in public, especially in crowded places, he sets his hand on your lower back and guides you as you walk, keeping you close to him.

x Instead of saying “Yes?” or “Yeah?” when you ask him a question, he says “Hm?” or “Mhm?” <3
x He places his hand on the back of the passenger seat’s headrest when he reverses his car and looks back/behind him. 🤭

x He leans on the doorframe, like a lot. He does it by instinct! It doesn’t matter if he’s resting his shoulder on the side of the doorframe or if his hands grab the top of the frame - he just leans on it a ton.
oliver aiku, barou shoei, chris prince, reo mikage, michael kaiser, raichi jingo
x When he speaks to you, he gives you his undivided attention, his gaze so intense you can feel your heart in your throat. His eyes don’t move from yours, even if yours wander around.
