Bokuaka kings of miscommunication™
some Hinata drawings I've done :>
This, this is perfection
Oikawa Tooru felt a bit dizzy behind his eyes. Maybe the gymnasium lights were too bright.
Or maybe it was her standing there, just here for your brother Yahaba’s match lingering by the bleachers after the game, fingers curled around his water bottle like you had every right to be there [you did], and no right to make his pulse stutter [you absolutely did].
Oikawa noticed the exact moment you walked in. Of course he did; he had a sixth sense for these things— he could read the shift in air pressure before a serve, the angle of Iwaizumi’s exasperated scowls, and especially, the gaze of a pretty spectator watching him with quiet intensity that made his skin prickle.
And now, despite his legendary focus, his brain short-circuited like bad Wi-Fi.
Badum.
His heartbeat was obnoxiously loud, the kind of dramatic thud that belonged in a shoujo manga, not in his stupid chest. He tightened his grip on the volleyball, knuckles whitening.
Focus. Serve. Ace. Repeat.
But then then you looked up. And smiled. At him? No. No, definitely at Iwaizumi, who was stretching behind him like some muscle-bound shoujo rival. Not that Oikawa noticed. Or cared. Obviously.
“Oikawa!” Coach barked. “You’re up.”
Right. Serve. He could do this. He’d done it a thousand times.
He tossed the ball, leapt–
and his knee almost buckled when your voice cut clean through his focus.
“Nice form, Oikawa.”
The ball sailed straight into the net. thwap.
Silence.
“Wow,” Iwaizumi deadpanned. “That was embarrassing even for you.”
Oikawa’s cheeks burned. “A fluke!” he declared, flipping his hair. “The air was... wrong. And my shoelaces were–”
“You’re staring at [Name] again,” Hanamaki stage whispered.
“I’m not!” But his traitorous pulse was already sprinting ahead without him. And it only took one sentence from you to prove him wrong.
“Oikawa.” Your voice, closer now. Too close. He turned and there you were, tilting your head, a little frown on your face that flipped his stomach inside out.
He couldn’t say when you started affecting him. You were just supposed to help him with notes, as class president, catching him up after missed lectures. So why did your voice shake him more than a punch from Iwaizumi?
maybe it was because he was a keen observer..? He noticed how your pen would hover over the edge of his messy notes, then burst into doodles bunnies in jerseys, a stick-figure Yahaba mid-sneeze but you’d freeze when given a blank page.
How you empathized with everyone, the teacher, rivals, even the cranky lunch lady but turned into a flustered mess when he thanked you. Left ink-smudges on your cheek he ached to wipe away.
And the way you bit your lip trying not to laugh at his dumb jokes, turning your lower lip a soft, tempting pink.
Oikawa Tooru knew exactly why he liked you. He was doomed.
“Are you okay? You look tiptop— just like you do on TV.”
The gym air turned to concrete in his lungs. His brain screeched to a halt like a buffering video.
TV.
TV.
TV.
“…TV?” he croaked, voice cracking like an old vinyl record.
You spun Yahaba’s water bottle cap between your fingers. “Yeah, I caught your match while flipping channels.” A pause. “Right when you said that thing about—”
Oikawa’s entire life flashed before his eyes.
Please no.
“‘If you’re gonna hit it,’” you quoted, eyes crinkling, “‘hit it until it breaks.’”
Nuclear silence. Iwaizumi looked like he scored ten points for the team “She knows your catchphrase,” he grinned.
“IT’S NOT A—” Oikawa clutched his hair, executing The Exact Flip mid-panic. “I WAS FIFTEEN! IT WAS METAPHORICAL!”
“Sounded pretty literal before the Shiratorizawa match,” Matsukawa said casually.
“With tears in your eyes,” Hanamaki added.
You blinked. “Wait, really?”
“NO!” Oikawa shrieked, voice hitting frequencies only dogs could hear. “THEY’RE LYING—YOU GUYS I SWEAR TO—”
Through the chaos, you smiled. Soft. Infuriating. “I thought it was cute. Kinda cool, too.”
Oikawa’s brain blue-screened.
Because that was the worst part. You liked it. You remembered him. And now his heart was pounding loud enough to echo across the entire prefecture. He likes you. Oikawa tooru likes you.
“Aw,” Hanamaki cooed. “Captain’s blushing.”
“I’M NOT—!”
“Wait, wait,” Matsukawa cut in, eyes gleaming.
“[Name], you do know our captain has this weird habit of staring at the bleachers during timeouts, right?”
You blinked. “Huh?”
"Like he's looking for someone" Hanamaki singsonged.
Oikawa made a sound like a deflating balloon. “You all just lost your bestfriend priveledges.”
“Oikawa,” Iwaizumi said solemnly, “just admit you like that she watched—”
“NO!” Oikawa lunged, spectacularly missing as Iwaizumi dodged.
“HE DOES THAT,” Hanamaki told you brightly, “when he’s—”
Oikawa’s shoe connected with his shin.
LOSER MEN ON TOP UGHHHHH.
another haikyuu meme redraw 😎
haikyuu airport headcanons bc im in an airport. no particular order. shipping involved.
- Daichi has never missed a flight and somehow everyone manages to make fun of him for this. never forgets to pack anything. always finds his gate on time. "lmao loser," Suga says, missing 2 bags and lost as fuck across the airport. he will not make his flight.
- Hinata and Kageyama navigating an airport is nearly a crisis. They can never agree on the right way to go and especially during layovers will often end up outside of security. The first time they travel with Tsukki + Yama as a group it's like a goddamn miracle because they dont need to rush and everything goes smoothly.
- on that topic, Tsukki and Yamaguchi have travel down to a science. these bitches have checklists and schedules and just get in and out. Tsukki keeps the boarding passes and Yamaguchi counts the bags and they split snacks on the plane and just nail the whole affair
- Noya and Asahi are the most experienced travelers and have been to so many airports and you'd think this makes them good at airports and it does not
- Ushijima has never gotten through security without being searched.
- Oikawa likes airports an unreasonable amount. Bitch thrives in liminal spaces. "Lets go check out which stores are open," he says, as Iwaizumi begs him to let him sit down and nap during their layover
- Kenma has airport anxiety. "We're going to miss our flight. What if our gate changes?" What if there's a delay?" He does not like putting his schedule into the hands of an Airline. Rightfully so, he loses his luggage an obscene amount.
- Kageyama and Hinata fighting and causing a ruckus in the airport and security has to come over to talk to them
- Tendou and Ushijima are generally really prepared and on top of things, but they just seem to have the worst luck. They got stranded at an airport during a layover for like 14 hours and went through every stage of grief. It doesnt help that Ushijima is really practical and good at accepting circumstances ("I'll just sit here and wait") but Tendou is highly emotional ("I'm going to eat the next airline associate that tries to talk to me.")
- Daichi is often seen standing alone in airports. This is because no matter who he's traveling with, he's probably waiting for them to catch up.
- Aran thought he was a good and functional adult until he saw Kita's itinerary for their travel plans and how neurotic he was about making sure everything on time. Kita will pre-measure and weigh all luggage to know exactly whats going on. Looking at airport layouts days before to memorize what needs to be done.
- Atsumu and Osamu have never made a flight on time. The best they can hope for is sprinting across the airport at full-tilt. This is a common occurance.
- Oikawa makes friends wherever he goes so he doesnt mind long layovers, he'll just sit and chat with whoever is around to pass the time, but one time he did leave with a group to check out a store without saying anything and Iwaizumi was lost for 30 minutes
- Asahi has so much anxiety with airports. Too many people. Too many deadlines. Bad vibes. One time a guy in an airport gave him incorrect directions to a gate and he missed his flight and he has never recovered.
- Kuroo "Yeah we have tons of time" Tetsurou is a menace to airport staff and has never budgeted enough time.
- Tsukki is a master at packing efficiently and this is exclusively due to wanting to avoid others complaining. He can pull basically anything out of his carry-on to prevent whining on a 5 hour flight. Yamaguchi uses him like a vending machine.
- Daichi once got mistaken for an airline worker and ended up with a whole group of people he was helping find their gates
- Bokuto loves traveling and flying. He finds it so fun and exciting. This is probably why Akaashi hates traveling and flying.
- Suga secretly likes layovers because he secretly hates planes and cannot stand sitting still for that long. He always pretends it such a hassle to have to wait but its the best part of the travel day when he gets to buy himself a muffin and bother Daichi for entertainment.
- Ushijima, Daichi, Kenma, and Asahi are all team "No PDA in an Airport!!!!!" whereas Tendou, Suga, Kuroo and Noya are all team "We have 2 hours to kill let me make out with you!!!!"
- Yamaguchi has sooooooo many reward points. Tsukishima doesnt even know what he's doing to get them, he's just a master of good deals and specials.
- Mile High Club Members: Iwaoi, Bokuaka, Ushiten, and Asanoya
- Wannabe Mile High Club Members who cannot convince their boyfriends it'll be okay: Suga
- Wannabe Mile High Club Members that will NOT admit they think about it: Yamaguchi, Hinata, Kageyama, Aran
... well im boarding soon so thanks for reading ig
BokuAka office AU except Akaashi makes the poor choice in hiring Bokuto cause he’s cute and the company later has to file for bankruptcy due to his stupidity in this essay I will-
During College Years, Bokuroo on a call:
Kuroo: Hey Bokuto!! How–
Bokuto: *voice crack* Akaashi used to call me that
Kuroo:
Kuroo: 'Cause that's your fucking name you–
1 hour later
Bokuto: *sniffles* a-and he used to have lunch with me even though we were different years!! do you see how much he cared for me?? I can't believe I left him there what if he misses me too *muffled crying*
Kuroo: *shaky breath* it's tough man, I get it. Kenma and I were childhood friends and being away from him like this is not *wobbly voice* is not *sniffles* i miss him too muchh
*cue two men crying like toddlers and waking up their respective dorms*
