hii! i was wondering if you could write something for kagami & midorima where they give their s/o their jacket! thank you so much (and if you can’t that’s totally okay)

❆﹝ borrowing their jacket ﹞

kagami taiga.

When Kagami asked you to wait for him while he finished practicing, you didn't expect to sit on the bench for two hours. By now, it was dark out and chilly. Not that either of those things was unforgivably terrible, just a tad inconvenient. 

The first wasn't even an issue, if you were being honest, because your boyfriend would be walking you home. But the latter would have your teeth chattering embarrassingly the whole way there.

While he packed his things, you debated whether to ask Riko if she had a spare sweater, but just as you were about to, you felt something soft fall on your head.

"What in..." You fully expected it to be some dirty towel of Kagami's, but after yanking it down, you realized it was his jacket. "Oh."

"Wash it for me, yeah?" He grinned.

"Can't you just let me believe you're being nice for at least a second?" You glowered at him playfully.

midorima shintaro.

Maybe Midorima did warn you about the temperature dropping below a comfortable level by evening, and it's possible you chose to ignore him. But honestly, who wants to carry a long coat around all day?

It would have covered your whole outfit and been too warm to wear until nighttime. However, as you hugged yourself and shivered just slightly, you had to admit you were starting to regret it.

"Shin…"

By the turn of his head and look in his eyes, you knew he was expecting you to call him. Anyone else would have assumed he was annoyed, but you knew him better than that.

"I warned you."

You wanted to pout and argue with him, but there wasn't anything that could save you.

"…I know, but I'm cold."

He sighed, adjusting his glasses.

For a moment, you thought he was just going to ignore you, but he soon turned to face you.

"Remember to give it back once you're done with it," he shrugged his jacket off and placed it over your shoulders.

"What if I want to keep it?" You smiled, feeling the warmth immediately spread throughout your back and arms.

"Then it can be your lucky item."

Hi! I wanted to request a headcanon with Akashi, Murasakibara and Aomine (and another character if you want) about them having a female s/o who is not their original type? (Aka: elegant girls with dignity, Mura: tall girls, Ao: big breasts) Their s/o isn't really elegant lol, or has an average height etc. But they love and treasure her. They reasure their s/o, when she finds out their original type and she's insecure about it

❥ ﹝ insecurities ﹞

i. akashi seijuro

it'd been a couple of months since you'd started dating akashi, but you had yet to make it public

not that he or you were actively hiding it, the occasion just hadn't presented itself, but as time continued to pass by you began to wonder if he was ashamed of you

you'd been friends for a while and people knew the both of you were close, even when everyone else was terrified of him you were always there and he treated you like an equal so you didn't think people would be surprised if you ended up together

however, you didn't fit his type, the type everyone assumed he would eventually end up with, someone sophisticated and well-mannered, someone who oozed elegance and power...

you were just you, maybe a little loud and outspoken or maybe a little clumsy

but your insecurities were immediately dealt with when he took you by the hand and walked down the hall

it was a particularly busy day, you don't quite remember why because your mind was too preoccupied with his hand in yours, but it was probably due to festival preparations

"why did you do that?" you asked when you finally found your voice

"because i could tell something was troubling and i hadn't done anything wrong, so i figure it had to do with our relationship status"

you smiled, of course he could read you like a book

ii. murasakibara atsushi

to be honest you had expected a little more than "you're the perfect size" when you voiced your concerns about your height difference

before you guys started dating you had asked him about his type and he said he wanted someone tall so he didn't have to worry about bending down and stuff, so it had been weighing on you this whole time

you wanted some kind of reassurance that he didn't absolutely hate it, but he just shrugged and continued to eat his snacks

"well can you tell me how exactly i'm the perfect height?"

after taking a bite of a chip he titled his head, studying you for a few seconds

"when i'm tired i can rest my chin on your head and it fits perfectly, doesn't matter if i'm sitting or standing and when we're sitting down you fit perfectly against me. i can practically swallow you up with a hug and i think it's nice"

he ate a few more chips before smiling

"oh and i like the way my sweaters look on you"

iii. aomine daiki

you found the magazines he used to get bribed with by his teammates and felt your stomach drop

in all honesty, you weren't snooping or anything your foot just accidentally knocked into something under his bed and you pulled it out to make sure it wasn't damaged, you actually wished you hadn't stumbled upon his hidden stash of magazines

"what do you have there?" was his nonchalant reaction when he walked into the room

he could tell you were uncomfortable with what you'd found but he thought it was nothing more than shame or disgust that he'd keep something like that

it wasn't until a couple of days later when you brought the subject up that he realized why exactly you looked upset

"are you disappointed that i don't have a big chest like those girls... in the magazines?" you were trying to sound as casual as possible, but your body language told a whole different story

"what?" he frowned, but only got a shrug from you

"i'll admit that's the first thing i see in a girl. i'm a tits guy through and through but that's not all i care about. besides, yours are just the right size. if you had big tits i'd have to watch out for other guys..." he stopped, thinking about how that might have sounded "but that doesn't mean that's the only reason i'm dating you either. without you i wouldn't be able to function. i used to rely on momoi for everything, but now you're the person i look for, so get those stupid thoughts out of your head"

✎  ﹝ genshin boys in a college au ﹞

i. zhongli

what better role than that of the young new professor everyone is fussing over?

he carries himself like someone well beyond his years and speaks as if he’s walked the earth for a millennia. his knowledge is extensive and doesn’t just revolve around the subject he teaches, history. he is well-versed in ancient literature, poetry, and is fluent in several languages. it’s no wonder everyone is dying to meet him and have a profound conversation with him.

even you find him intriguing and can’t help but gravitate towards him when you’re both in the breakroom, but you’re determined to find the one thing you know better than him. so far you’ve failed in brewing a better cup of tea than him, knowing how to bind a book (even making the pages from scratch), knowing calligraphy, and picking a lock faster (why does he even need that skill? you’re sure anyone would let him into their home even on a first meeting, probably even give him the codes to all their safes)

tags + notes: professor!zhongli x professor!reader, rivals (one-sided) to lovers, lots of long-winded explanations and awkward encounters in the breakroom

ii. childe

surprisingly he’s the insufferable TA that zhongli handpicked himself. how he thought that guy was the best option when there’s obviously thoma that everyone loves is beyond you. but you have to admit he has a way with words, which is probably why the professor picked him. he could get anyone interested in just about any subject, even a “boring” one like history. and that’s not just a personal opinion either, many students have admitted that the only reason they decided to take the class was because he convinced them.

however, there’s also this weird aura about him. it feels intimidating for some reason, but you can’t quite put your finger on why... and some of your classmates have mentioned being afraid of missing an assignment cause of him. but he seems like a cool guy from your experience, just a little annoying if anything

tags + notes: ta!childe x student!reader, popular x reserved, golden retriever energy x cat energy, endless amount of bickering, childe is always messing with the reader and trying to distract them (all in hopes of getting them to ask him for help after class)

iii. diluc

the first time you saw the redhead wasn’t in class, even though a couple of days later you realized he sat right behind you. in your defense, it’s not like you’re looking behind you during class, but you figure you would have seen him walk into class at least once before. but no, you first saw him at the local bar, he was standing behind the counter with his hair up in a high ponytail. if you were being completely honest, that’s probably why you noticed him there and not in class. in class he wears it in a low and lose ponytail. it doesn’t compliment him at all, but who were you to judge his morning routine.

he’s also a completely different person when he’s not at the bar. in class he’s so serious and keeps to himself, another reason why you probably never noticed him. even at the bar he’s somewhat serious, but at least he offers more than a dry “good morning” there. you’ve even gotten a smile

tags + notes: grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity (they have to work on project together which means meeting up a lot and possibly going to each other’s places), slow burn

iv. kazuha

you’d heard word of that cute boy that performed with his band at the local bar and had caught a glimpse of him once or twice there when visiting your friend diluc. but you never imagined he was the boy you stared at in class, and not cause you thought he was cute or anything you did, it’s just that you always saw him staring out the window, like he longed to be a bird so he could ride the wind and travel to some far off land. other times you’d catch him flipping through a notebook quickly jotting something down, probably lyrics now that you thought about it, and you found it intriguing.

now that you knew he was in a band maybe you could approach him and ask him about it, he seemed friendly enough

tags + notes: band member!kazuha x admirer!reader, reader falls first but kazuha falls harder, he doesn’t realize that all this time he’s been slowly falling for the reader until it hits him like a train and he can’t hide it any longer

v. thoma

thoma is the perfect student. every professor is always speaking highly of him and using him as an example for those that comes after. and yet it’s hard to hate or envy, someone who is willing to let you borrow his notes. in fact, he offers them to you when he notices you’re struggling with a topic. they’re so neat too, color coded and everything. never in your life had notes made more sense to you than the actual professor.

if you weren’t aware of his culinary arts major, you’d have assumed he was studying to be a professor of some kind. helping others came so naturally to him, but so did cooking. there had been plenty of time when he’d brought snacks for the class just cause he felt like it and they were delicious. no wonder the professors loved him, he motivated the class for them

tags + notes: friends to lovers, cuteness overload that’s pretty much it, just lots and lots of fluff

vi. xiao

if it wasn’t because he is literally the quietest person you’ve ever met, you probably would have never noticed xiao in his corner. at first you thought it was because he hated being around people, one of those extremely anti-social people, but you’ve come to realize he is just shy. not the type to fumble over his words, just not the type to initiate a conversation. once you get him talking he’s alright though. still a little awkward with his one word replies, but he’s not a bad guy.

it took you a while to get him to warm up to you, but now it’s like you took in an injured puppy. he even stopped sitting at the very back corner and now comes to sit next to you. the others took it as a free invitation to start talking to him, but he just gives them polite nods and glances their way occasionally. you wonder if it’s because it takes him a while to trust other people

tags + notes: mututal pining, special treatment (you’re the only one that gets to see the talkative side of him and vulnerable), angst (because he’d still have a sad backstory in this au), but it would eventually have lots of fluff

vii. itto

he’s the completely opposite of xiao. while xiao stand outs because he’s so quiet and mysterious, itto stands out cause it’s impossible for him not to. no ones needs to ask him what he’s doing for the day cause everyone can hear him talking about it in the halls. it’s actually surprising just how loud he can be, but that’s the best part of him. he isn’t afraid of putting himself out there. he’s also an overall great guy, whenever he spots someone being left out he’ll include them in the conversation. he does the same for his football games too, invites everyone and gets them cheering even if they don’t care for the sport and makes friends with the opposing team. there have been plenty of time when both teams go out to eat together after the game because of him, regardless of who won or lost.

but his one fault is that he’s not exactly the brightest. everyone loves him, but the professors can only let him off the hook so many times before his grades start suffering...

tags + notes: jock!itto x nerd!reader/tutor!reader, cute moments where the reader patches itto up after a game, that “oh” moment from the reader as they watch itto running on the field, and the “oh” moment from itto as he watches the reader cheer from the stands feeling like he can run on forever

❀ ﹝ hands & touches ﹞

i. hanagaki takemichi

out of everyone else in the group he has the softest touch

his hands aren’t as familiar with the calluses that come from ripping a metal pipe out of an opponent’s hand, or the splinters of a broken a bat, his fingers aren’t stiff from throwing one too many punches either

they also aren’t that noteworthy if you’re being honest, but they’re warm. the kind of warmth that makes you feel secure, like no danger can come to you, they feel like home

his one scar gets all of your attention though, you like to trace it with your fingers not only because you admire him for going through that and still standing his ground, but because it always earns you a cute blush from him

if you throw in some compliments you’ll even get some tears, which he fails at hiding because he’s sniffling like a child

but you find it endearing, it’s the main reason you fell for him, seeing how open he is with his emotions

ii. ryuguji ken aka “draken”

just as you’d expect he has big hands with long slender fingers, the kind that can engulf your whole hand in a fist

but he’s always careful not to hurt you and he does it with such tenderness you wonder if he thinks you fragile, you reassure him you are not by intertwining your fingers with his and holding his hand firmly in place, so tightly it feels like you’re trying to dig your nails into the back of his hand. it usually results in him chuckling and squishing your hand playfully

one time he put a bit too much force into it and you got a taste of his strength, the yelp that parted your lips was more dramatic than intended and you almost felt guilty over the look that crossed his face but when he touched his lips to your knuckles you continued to play the role of the victim

but that’s only in the privacy of his room, outside of those four walls the closest you get to him is bumping shoulders as you walk, and the occasional ruffling of hair. it’s not that he’s not affection or doesn’t care to show how much you mean to him, but he figures you know how he feels so he doesn’t have to put on a show for everyone else 

however, when you are feeling down or he notices your attention is elsewhere he pokes you on the forehead (with some force) to reel you back in, grinning when your head snaps back into place

iii. baji keisuke 

the first thing you noticed of baji’s was of course his hair, it’s kind of hard not to when it’s so long and shiny. how in the world does it looks so nice, you will never know, but the second thing that called your attention were his hands

something about them was attractive, but it wasn’t their size because they weren’t that big in comparison to others and his fingers weren’t slender or long

what made them so special was how wide they were, it just made them look manly, like they could take a beating and still be just as strong

and boy did they take a beating with him resorting to violence to solve all his problems, they were even rough to the touch, definitely not the kind of hands you want a massage from and yet, they were perfect

you’ve lost count of how many times you’ve touched your hand to his to compare sizes, but also to get some kind of reaction out of him

back when he was giving it his all in his classes you took advantage of him asking you for help to take his hand in your and guide it over the paper. you got to know every scratch and mark he had, in addition to just how many words he did not know how to write out correctly

he didn’t like the teasing, but even though he didn’t voice it out loud he enjoyed your touch, so he still asks you to help him write the words he’s already learned. can’t outright ask you to hold his hand now can he?

iv. matsuno chifuyu

chifuyu’s hands are probably the smallest ones of the gang, and while that doesn’t mean they are tiny by any means, you have noticed that his pinky is smaller in comparison to the rest of his fingers. it is even smaller than yours even though all his other fingers are slightly longer than yours. and it becomes even more obvious when he wears gloves because his pinky doesn’t reach the tip. you think it’s the cutest thing

when it comes to hand holding chifuyu tends to hide away from it in front of others, he knows they’ll tease him for it but every now and then he’ll link his pinky to yours 

it’s as close as he’s willing to go in front of the gang but it still sends both of your hearts into a frenzy. maybe one day he’ll get the courage to just grab your hand and show off to the others how happy he is

the fact that he reaches out himself makes you unbelievably happy though, it’s as if he can read your mind. every time you glance at his hand it is only a matter of seconds before he’s reaching for your pinky

sometimes you’re looking at it out of concern, more often than not his fingers are decorated with a mess of band aids. you’ve told him plenty of times that it’d be easier to wrap them, but he says the band aids look cooler and he can switch them out faster 

v. mitsuya takashi

it’s as if mitsuya’s hands were crafted just as delicately as he crafts his designs, despite the amount of fights he’s gotten into his hands are still so smooth and elegant

maybe it’s because you’ve watched him work countless hours and have gotten to admire the ease in which his fingers move to get the perfect stitch, but his hands are the most beautiful things you’ve set your eyes on

his nails never seem to grow but you know it’s because he’s always cutting them so they don’t get snagged on any fabric, it also helps that he doesn’t have to worry about them breaking or chipping when fighting 

of course you’re the first and only person he comes to when he needs to bandage them up, he doesn’t trust anyone else to do it. the one time he let one of the guys do it they wrapped his fingers a bit too tight and he wasn’t able to bend them, so it made sewing hard and annoying

but you know how to wrap them perfectly, it admittedly took several attempts and you weren’t that great in the beginning, but over time you got it down, you even massage his hands from time to time to help him release all the tension

in turn he takes any chance to hold your hand and give it a small squeeze to show his appreciation for you and it never fails to put a smile on your face

[universal-imagines]

💔 ﹝ weren’t meant to be ﹞

i. sano manjiro aka “mikey”

the feeling was not only unique but foreign to him as well, he didn’t get the “traditional” frenzy of butterflies in his stomach, he didn’t feel nervous around you and there was never an outward reaction to you, not a blush or even a twinkle in his eye that showed his growing attachment to you, no one could have known 

the only difference was his sudden possessiveness over you but everyone, even he himself, thought it was just part of his “you’re mine now. your pain, your suffering, it’s all mine” spiel, so he didn’t think it meant anything 

that is until you started talking about someone else... that dark cold energy inside of him threatened to come out every time you gushed about your crush

like a cornered animal it wanted to tear apart everything in its way, to destroy any of trace affection that wasn’t specifically for him

it took an unbelievable amount of self-control not to let that demon inside of him out, so he became distant and every time you sought him out he pulled further and further back until you put two and two together (at least you thought) and realized he didn’t want you around

he knew he’d messed up when he heard from the others that you and the other person had started dating and you were happy, happier than he could have ever made you

but it was for the best, he knew that, he really did... but then why did it hurt so much?

ii. ryuguji ken aka “draken”

as much as he wanted to tell himself this wasn’t his doing and that you just happened to fall for someone else, he knew he was lying to himself

again... he’d done the same mistake again

he’d kept the words to himself and he was beating himself up for it, if only he’d voiced his feelings just once. that’s all it would have taken for you to know, for you to consider him more than just a friend, to see him as a lifelong partner cause that’s how he saw you

he had already pictured what your future together would look like, he saw years of happiness with a nice home far from the city, a place that was warm and full of laughter, with a family to call his own

the images shattered when you introduced them to the group, one by one they disappeared leaving a void he wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to fill. but your smile was so wide and your eyes lit up like fireworks every time you glanced their way that he couldn’t help but feel happy for you. he’d just have to keep his feelings a secret and support you

that didn’t mean he’d stop caring for you though, every year without fail he got you the perfect birthday and christmas gift, no one knew how he did it, but it was obvious he listened to you

iii. mitsuya takashi

maybe he had taken you for granted, but could anyone really blame him? you’d been a constant in his life for as long as he could remember. during those tough days spent taking care of his sisters while his mom worked you were the one who kept him company, who made those night bearable

you were also the one who gave him that extra push to become a delinquent, though you made sure to warn him that you weren’t going to be happy if he went too crazy and got hurt. he remembers laughing about it until he saw the serious look in your eyes, his laughter immediately died out and he nodded

but on top of it all you were the person he confided in about all his troubles and he knew you trusted him just the same, so it stung when he found out through someone else that you were dating

to be honest he wasn’t sure what hurt more, that you hadn’t picked him or that you hadn’t told him 

it’s okay if you were to call him an idiot for reading too much into it, but all those late nights on the phone, the kind that ended with both of you falling asleep while on call, and all the walks home together, plus all the sleepovers had to have meant something. even if it wasn’t love, which it painfully wasn’t, it was still some kind of affection 

so why hadn’t you told him about the person you liked? he would have been happy for you, he would have buried his feelings and cheered you on... but now he felt conflicted, like he had to fight for that spot

iv. baji keisuke

unfortunately it was a “right person, wrong time” kind of situation, from the moment the two of you met there was an undeniable attraction, particularly from his side

at the time you were in a relationship, so there was nothing he could do about it except admire you from afar buuuut he didn’t do a very good job at it. he always found himself in close vicinity to you, like a moth to a flame. oh how he would willingly burn to be the one beside you

your relationship didn’t last long though and you were single a couple months later, but he wasn’t about to just jump in and seem desperate, so he let some time go by... a little too much time

before long you were talking to someone else and he couldn’t blame them cause man you had a way of drawing people in, unintentionally too. it was the way you spoke, you were just so energetic when you talked about one of your favorite subjects and you were good at listening to others too. he knew burning cars wasn’t a good thing, but you didn’t reprimand him when he’d tell you about the latest one he’d totaled. you’d just laugh at him for almost getting caught

so it infuriated him how someone else butt in just like that, but he didn’t want to cause trouble for you, if you wanted them then he’d back off and he did. that’s when he joined valhalla, only to find out you hadn’t actually gotten with the other person and were looking for him, but he had to go through with his plans

if only he could have made it back to you

v. hanemiya kazutora

how can one person make so many mistakes? from the beginning he had you. it wasn’t an attainable wish he just needed to work towards or a maybe, you were dating and you were happy 

but then he made his first mistake that led him to juvie. it could have cost him everything, it could have cost him you, but you decided to wait. it was almost hard to believe that you’d stick with him but you did. you sent him letters so he didn’t feel alone and you keep him updated on everything. you were also the first person to greet him when he got out, before even baji

he should have known things were going to go downhill from there. you weren’t at all happy about his decision of joining valhalla, you tried talking him out of it, multiple times, telling him to talk things out but he didn’t listen. and yet, you still stayed by his side. it was probably to keep him grounded, you were the little conscience he had left, but it wasn’t enough...

the last straw was seeing him drive that knife into baji, his best friend and your childhood friend. it erased any progress you thought you’d done and made you realize he was a lost cause

it didn’t matter that he took responsibility, or that he promised to change, or that mikey decided to forgive him for his past actions. he’d betrayed you, when all you had wanted was for him to have his life back

this time you didn’t wait for him and by the time he got out you had a new life, far away from him and his destructive touch, but at least you were happy. he could live with that

vi. shiba hakkai

damn him and his goddamn fear, it’d taken him too long to get the courage to ask you out. the worst part about it was that he had been ready for a while he just didn’t want to bring you into the mess that was his family

he couldn’t imagine a fruitful relationship after you’d met his brother and he was afraid that taiju would do something to you. you weren’t exactly a member of toman but you still hung around them enough that other gangs knew of your existence and affiliation. he’d never be able to forgive himself if you got hurt because of him

so he waited. every day begging that you didn’t find out about his secret and think of him a disappointment, that would cause his whole world to come crumbling down. you and mitsuya were his safe haven, if either of you changed your views on him he wouldn’t know what to do with himself. he thought that was the worst thing that could happen

but then he saw you walking out of the cinema, hand in hand with someone else, and he felt the wind leave his chest. the pain that filled it was so intense that no punch from taiju could hurt this bad

he couldn’t help the warm tears stinging his eyes, if only he’d fought back sooner and stood his ground, he could have been the one next to you

☾ found feelings

fandom: haikyuu!! pairing: nishinoya x reader word count: 1.2k request: perhaps a scenario with nishinoya comforting his crush when they get rejected by their own crush. maybe ending with them realizing that nishinoya is better then their crush anyway?  

a/n: this request has been in my inbox since i first made this blog, and it’s been written for about as long too i just never got around to transferring it from my notebook to my computer but here it is now! i had to make a separate post from the ask cause the set up was all weird. this might also be the last post i make with banners cause i lost all my old ones and no longer have photoshop ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

please do not use any of my works, in any shape or form, without permission.

He knew. Call it a libero's intuition, if you will.

The moment Nishinoya's cell phone rang, almost vibrating its way off his nightstand, he stopped what he was doing to answer. Only one person would call him this late, and today of all days too. But something told him it wasn't about the positive response you'd wanted.

Congratulating himself on another good save, he allowed himself a tentative smile along with his usual greeting.

For a couple of minutes, all he got in response was a sniffle. But he was patient. If volleyball had taught him anything, it was waiting for the right time to move.

"They rejected me," you finally voiced his suspicions.

A part of him couldn't help but be relieved. As mean as that was, he was afraid of missing his chance. When you first told him about your crush, he'd felt a tinge of pain in his chest. And his stomach twisted every time you gushed about them. It was eating at him. He should have been happy for you, but it hurt hearing you talk about someone else. It was worse than missing a crucial point in a match.

The other part of him was heartbroken on your behalf. He knew just how much of yourself you put into that confession. It was nothing short of pouring your heart out. He knew because he had listened to you practice, day in and day out, as you worked yourself up to confess. So hearing you so broken about getting rejected hurt and made him angry. This person he didn't even know didn't deserve your affection, much less your tears.

"I'll be right over." He wanted to say so much more, but that could wait until he could comfort you in person.

A heavy sigh of frustration left Nishinoya's body as he let his phone drop onto his lap. He had every intention of keeping his promise of coming over, but he had to compose himself first. What kind of impression would he give if he looked ready to beat someone up? Probably not a bad one cause it showed he had his friend's back, but there was more to it than that. And he wasn't ready to explain it all just yet.

But he was ready to get some late-night comfort food, however. All your favorite snacks and meals were at the top of his checklist, along with two pints of ice cream.

Two convenience store stops later, among other places, Nishinoya made his way toward your house. It wasn't a long walk, but after his 35-minute detour, he arrived at your home almost an hour after promised.

One knock. Two knocks. Three knocks it took for you to open the door. As expected, a puffy-eyed [ name ] appeared in the doorway. The sight of you almost sent him on a rant, but he stopped himself.

"Sorry for taking a while..." he searched for your eyes, "But I'm armed with snacks." The last bit came out as more of a question than a statement. He wasn't sure how enthusiastic he was allowed to sound, so he wanted to assess the situation first.

You didn't even look at the bag of goodies he brought before enveloping him in a hug.

"Yeah... sorry," he whispered, doing his best to return the hug.

Finally moving from the door, both of you ended up in your room. It was quiet for a while, but not in an awkward way. You were both just enjoying a pint of ice cream. The silence might have lasted longer if it weren't for Tanaka, who sent Nishinoya a meme.

'Damn Tanaka,' Nishinoya thought as he scrambled to silence his phone.

"They said they never gave me any reasons to get my hopes up. That... they could tell I liked them and went out of their way to make it obvious they weren't interested, but..." You drew a shaky breath. "I can't believe I didn't notice. I must have been so annoying."

"Did they seriously say that?" Nishinoya's blood was boiling.

You nodded, needing another moment to gather yourself. "I could even feel how annoyed they were." "What an ass. You'll probably think I'm saying all this because I'm your friend and would take your side in any situation, but he didn't deserve you. If that jerk could not see how amazing you are, that's on them. Not you. It just sucks you got your heart broken because of someone like that."

Nishinoya was glad to see you roll your eyes at him because it meant you were feeling slightly better.

"I don't know about being amazing and all that. If that were the case at least one person out there would like me, but there's no one." You shrugged.

"There is." The response slipped out on its own. "I'm sure there is," he quickly added.

"Doubt it."

"Why?"

"Because... well, because no one has ever said anything." You threw your arms up in defeat.

"What if they're afraid of telling you? Of getting rejected? You just found out how much it hurts."

"Yeah... you're right."

'Stupid. Stupid Noya.' He would shoot himself in the foot if he could.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to-" He was panicking over what to say to fix his mistake.

"No, it's okay. You're right. After what happened today, I don't picture myself confessing to anyone ever again. And if anyone does confess to me one day, I know I'll never be that mean."

Nishinoya chuckled. "Being let off easy still hurt, you know."

"Sure, but it can't be as bad as being outright rejected on top of being ridiculed for confessing." You crossed your arms and huffed, but he could tell it was more for show.

"Can't argue with that," he shrugged. "So, is it safe to assume you're less upset about getting rejected but more about how they went about it?"

You nodded with a soft smile.

"I hope you know that ass really didn't deserve you. Besides, you can do so much better!"

"Oh yeah," you chuckled. "I deserve someone who will cherish me and treat me right. Someone who will bring me pizza at midnight."

"Ha, I've done that." Catching himself once again, Nishinoya quickly added, "And it wasn't fun."

"What are you talking about? We stayed up all night watching movies and talking. I remember cause you forgot you had practice the next morning and were dying." You were now laughing.

"Exactly, not fun."

"Whatever."

The night went on like that, harmless banter back and forth with some movies and laughter sprinkled in between. The person who'd ruined part of your day was long forgotten by now.

"You should just stay over at this point. It's 4am, and you don't have practice tomorrow. So it's okay, right?" You were already pulling the blanket over the both of you as you spoke.

"Fine. Just don't kick me off the bed when you wake up in the morning cause you forgot you asked me to stay."

"I only did that once!" You laugh at the memory.

"Once was enough!"

"Okay, okay. I'll make it up to you if I do it again." You scooted a little closer to him and shut your eyes.

"How about you make it up for last time first?"

"With what?" You yawn.

'A date.'

He thought he had said it outloud when he heard the exact same words he was thinking, but you'd been the one to utter them. Maybe it'd been a figment of his imagination, he was tired after all. But he would soon find out they weren't. He would have to wait until morning though, cause you were out like a light.

could you write something for nahoya/smiley with the infirmary prompt like smiley wakes up in the hospital after a gang fight and sees reader at his bedside, if you don’t write for smiley could you do this prompt with draken instead

a/n: i absolutely write for smiley! gotta love him and angry (੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧

Bright lights forced Nahoya's eyes shut, stinging them in the process.

'Shit.' 

If he'd turned away any faster, he would have given himself a neck injury. Which wouldn't have been hard considering the number of bruises aching all over his body.

Odd, though... the last thing he remembered was a shit-eating grin, so why was he on his back and in some weird-looking white room?

"Nahoya?"

His eyes, now adjusted to the brightness, shot open. They searched for the owner of that voice. He knew it well, even if it was laced with concern. Actually, maybe that's why he was able to recognize it so quickly.

"Hi," you waved. 

It looked more like a simple flex of your fingers, but he knew what you meant with that gesture. And in turn, he put on his signature smile.

"Looks like I'm at the hospital," he stated matter-of-factly.

"No, we're at Disneyland," you rolled your eyes.

"So this is where they take the troublemakers. Not bad."

"It's not funny!" He almost flinched when you raised your voice. "You were hit in the head with a metal pipe... and you just... dropped. Do you know how worried everyone was? It's been hours since the fight."

"But I'm fine n-"

"Don't tell me you're fine. I'm not taking anyone's word but the doctor's."

Nahoya was left to stare after your retreating form, which he assumed was on its way to get said doctor. If he wasn't in so much pain, all feeling in his body slowly returning to him, he would have laughed at how disgruntled you looked.

Both of you often butted heads over his chosen "hobby," but moments like these reminded him that you were only looking out for him.

❤ ﹝ personal touches ﹞

i. diluc

he tends to keep everyone at bay, as if he has to guard himself from anyone getting close to him physically, but really he’s keeping them away from his heart

so when he lets his shoulder brush up against yours in the most delicate way you can’t help but feel a surge of emotion

this man, who keeps everyone at arms length just let you into his personal space

but still, you don’t think much of it because you are walking through mondstadt and it’s a bit crowded that day, so it was probably an accident

but it happens again

and this time there’s no excuse for how close he is

you’re at his tavern, after everyone’s left and you offered to help clean, which surprisingly doesn’t take long but it does tire you out

so you both take a seat by the bar, stools less than a foot away

he could have sat on any other stool, but he chose the one right next you, the one that forces your arms to lean against each other comfortably

ii. zhongli

it start off as subtle brushes of fingers when he hands you your tea during your many afternoon chats

you don’t think much of it because those things happen often, and this is zhongli of all people, of course he isn’t doing it on purpose

although you do seem to catch a glint in his eye each time and perhaps a smile?

but despite being a patient man, he grows tired of waiting for you to catch on to his subtle advances

he doesn’t want to be too forward all of a sudden though, so he requests you take a walk with him

and during said walk he gently guides you through and out of the city, occasionally placing a hand on your shoulder to lead you a certain way

but the real give away is when you stop at the edge of a cliff overlooking the beautifully lit city and he gently brushes a stray piece of hair, holding it tenderly for a few seconds before letting go

iii. xiao

if you thought diluc was distant and guarded, xiao is all that and covered in armor, nothing can touch him

not mentally, not physically, not even emotionally, or so you thought

that is until the day a battle broke out in liyue, you were doing your part to save the people and got ambushed by the fatui, you thought it was the end, you couldn’t take them all, but xiao came to your rescue

he not only did quick work of them but immediately rushed to your side and checked for any injuries, but you had none, it was him who had cuts all over

you thought he wouldn’t let you, but once the fight was over, he let you tend to them without flinching once at your touch

iv. thoma

thoma can be quite the gentleman when it comes to gestures because he tends to ayaka most of his time, but apart from her there are few who get to see that delicate and poise side of him

usually he’s his energetic self who likes to joke around and eat

so it’s when he holds your hand to help you keep your balance as you walk down a steep hill and you notice just how warm it is

or that light pink tint on his cheeks

perhaps it’s from the strain of the walk, but then why does he avoid making eye contact with you?

you’re not entirely sure about the reason, but you can tell something is up

it’s not like he goes out of his way to care for others like he does you (apart from ayaka of course)

v. gorou

everyone knows they are not allowed to touch gorou’s ears no matter the rumors they’ve heard, so how come you can?

sure, you sneak in a pet or two every once in a while when he’s least expecting it, but he doesn’t reprimand you like he does the others

he also hardly ever stand so close to others, whatever the reason it’s obvious there is some favoritism going on

and whenever he is in a conference with the army, giving instructions, he always guides your hand through the map as if it’s the most natural thing

a lot of the members are starting to notice

vi. itto

personal space is not part of itto’s vocabulary, it is nonexistent

you never know where you stand with him because he does it with everyone, it can be very confusing, but unlike everyone else, it’s when he keeps his distance

that doesn’t mean he will stay away from you because he won’t, he will constantly be there, it just means he’s very self-conscious about his movements

this will take a long time for him to realize and start doing though... a very long time

so his distance might just mean he lost a battle with someone and is pouting about it, but at the very least you’ll hear all about it
