Managerial Duties: Nekoma

"Absolutely not."

Yamamoto lets out a dramatic groan, throwing his head back as if you’d just crushed his dreams with a single stomp. “C’mon, manager! The captain of the boys’ soccer team was pissing me off, and I just thought we could flaunt the fact that we have a hot girl manager!”

You sigh, rubbing your temples. “I’m going to not try and take that as an offensive statement.”

“But think about it! If we show off our amazing manager—who, by the way, is way cooler than any other team’s manager—those other guys will be so distracted, their defenses will crumble before we even start playing!”

Yaku lets out an exasperated groan, smacking Yamamoto upside the head. “Do you hear yourself? You sound like an idiot.”

“I’m thinking strategically!” Yamamoto argues, rubbing the back of his head with a deep frown. “It’s all about getting in their heads before the match even starts! They’ll be so busy staring, they won’t know what hit them!”

Kuroo, who had been listening in with an entertained smirk, finally cuts in. “You sure that’s gonna work? Sounds more like you’re the one who gets distracted by a cute face, Yamamoto.”

“Hey, hey, hey! This isn’t about me!” Yamamoto quickly defends, flailing his arms as Kenma sighs beside him, eyes still glued to his game. “This is about our team having a clear mental advantage.”

Kenma lets out a slow breath, thumbs lazily pressing at his screen. “I don’t think anyone is intimidated by your ‘mental strategies.’”

You cross your arms, fixing Yamamoto with a deadpan stare. “So, your plan is for me to just… stand around looking pretty while you all practice?”

Yamamoto brightens. “Exactly! You just have to stand there, maybe flip your hair a little—”

“Okay, you can stop talking now.” You cut him off, shaking your head as Kuroo bursts into laughter beside you.

“C’mon, manager, just think about it!” Yamamoto pleads. “You wouldn’t even have to do anything extra! Just be your natural, intimidating self!”

“I don’t think standing still counts as intimidation,” you reply flatly. “And I already have an actual job managing you guys. I don’t need to add ‘team mascot’ to the list.”

Kuroo drapes an arm lazily over your shoulder, grinning. “Oh, but what if we paid you extra?”

You raise an eyebrow. “With what money?”

“Uh.” Kuroo blinks, looking to the rest of the team. “Yamamoto, do you have money?”

“I might have enough for a convenience store snack,” he mutters, checking his pockets. “But that’s beside the point!”

“You hear that?” You turn to Yaku, feigning disappointment. “They were gonna bribe me with convenience store snacks.”

“Pathetic,” Yaku agrees, shaking his head.

Yamamoto throws his hands in the air. “Fine, forget the money! This isn’t about bribery, it’s about team pride! Think about it! The Nekoma basketball team has a manager, the badminton team has one, even the track team has one—but none of them have a hot girl manager! But you’re here! We can use that to our advantage! We can—”

“Yamamoto.” You cut him off again, your patience thinning. “If I hear one more word about me ‘flaunting myself,’ I’m making you run extra laps after practice.”

Yamamoto stiffens, mouth snapping shut immediately.

Kai, who had been quietly observing, finally speaks up. “Yamamoto, maybe try thinking of a plan that doesn’t involve embarrassing our manager?” His voice is calm, but there’s a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Lev grins, nudging Fukunaga. “I dunno, I think it’s kinda funny.”

Fukunaga smirks before leaning in and whispering something to Lev, who immediately bursts out laughing.

Yamamoto groans. “See? At least some of you get it!”

“Not really,” Kai corrects. “We just enjoy watching you dig yourself into a hole.”

The silence is almost peaceful—until Kuroo nudges your side again. “Still,” he muses, a teasing glint in his eye. “You do look pretty intimidating when you’re pissed.”

“Well, maybe you guys should stop pissing me off.”

Kuroo snorts before shaking his head. “Yeah, right.”

You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose. “If I quit being manager, you all only have yourselves to blame.”

Kenma hums, finally looking up from his game. “Yeah, but you won’t.”

You glance at him, frowning. “How do you know?”

He shrugs. “Because you care too much.”

The rest of the team goes quiet. Even Kuroo, ever the instigator, doesn’t argue. Yamamoto looks at you hopefully. Yaku smirks. Kai shakes his head fondly, and Fukunaga snickers at whatever he just whispered to Lev, who is still laughing.

You sigh again, rubbing your temples for what feels like the hundredth time that day. “I’m still not doing it. Now get off your asses, we have work to do.”

Yamamoto groans in defeat. Kuroo chuckles. And Yaku pats your shoulder with a satisfied nod. “That’s our manager.”

[fukunaagal]

so random but who do u think in blue lock would be friends w/ any of the haikyuu cast

YOOO THIS IS SO GOOD

。Bachira is really compatible with most Hq characters but especially Bokuto, Hinata and Nishinoya, Tendou and Lev

。Isagi would get along with Yamaguchi and Yachi

。Pre-wildcard Kunigami would be best friends with Daichi, Aran, Sugwara and Kai

。Nagi and Kenma is kinda obvious, but I think that Nagi would get along with Hinata as well, since Reo and Hinata are alike (personality wise, not mentality wise)

。I think Nagi and Akaashi would be good friends as well

。Shidou and Terushima would be good friends, but I think they’d piss each other off after a while

。Ego and Coach Washijo are lowk not only BEST FRIENDS but also secret lovers

。Otoya and Karasu would get along soo well with Kuroo, Makki and Mattsun

。Maybe Rin would tolerate Suna, but just because he’s quiet

。Yukimiya and Akaashi get along too

。Anri, Coach Ukai and Takeda are also good friends (Takeda has a big crush on her)

。And last but not least, Saeko and Chigiri would get along too, but just because both find each other so beautiful (Kiyoko is too shy to join the club)

Being Nekoma's manager - f!reader

Kuroo Tetsurō

Calls you “Manager‑chan” like it’s your legal name.

Pretends he’s teasing you, but he watches you like a hawk during practice to make sure you’re not overworking yourself.

Always walks you home after late practices, claiming it’s “team captain responsibility.”

Brags about you to other teams like you’re part of Nekoma’s stats.

Kai Nobuyuki

The calmest presence in the gym — and the one who quietly hands you water when you forget to drink.

Checks in with you before every practice: “You doing okay today?”

The only one who can get the entire team to listen when you need something.

Treats you like a little sister he’s sworn to protect.

Yaku Morisuke

Takes your safety very seriously.

If someone spikes too close to you, he’s already yelling at them before you can blink.

Gives you his jacket when the gym gets cold, then denies it when anyone points it out.

You’re one of the few people he softens his voice for.

Yamamoto Taketora

Immediately tried to impress you on day one.

Still tries.

Loudly.

Brings you snacks “just because managers need fuel too.”

Gets flustered if you thank him too sincerely.

Kozume Kenma

Barely talks at first, but you catch him glancing at you to make sure you’re not overwhelmed.

Starts sitting near you during breaks without saying anything.

Hands you his phone to show you a game he thinks you’d like — that’s basically a love confession from him.

If you praise him, he turns red and hides behind his hair.

Fukunaga Shōhei

Communicates with you almost entirely through facial expressions and gestures.

Somehow you understand him perfectly.

Loves making you laugh — it becomes his personal mission.

Randomly leaves little doodles on your clipboard.

Inuoka Sō

Sunshine in human form.

Greets you with the biggest smile every day.

Always asks if you’ve eaten.

Gets so excited when you cheer for him that he jumps higher.

Teshiro Tamahiko

Quiet but observant — he notices when you’re stressed before anyone else.

Helps you carry equipment without being asked.

Gives you small, encouraging nods during practice.

Low‑key thinks you’re the coolest person in the gym.

Lev Haiba

Calls you “Manager‑san!” in the loudest voice possible.

Tries to impress you constantly, usually by jumping unnecessarily high.

Gets pouty when Yaku scolds him in front of you.

Lights up like a Christmas tree when you compliment his progress.

Shibayama Yuki

Sweetest, softest bean.

Always thanks you for your hard work.

Gets flustered if you smile at him too long.

Looks up to you like you’re part of the team’s foundation.

As a team

They treat you like their secret weapon.

You’re included in every group photo — no exceptions.

They argue over who gets to carry things for you.

If another team’s manager talks to you, Nekoma collectively stares them down.

They cheer louder when you walk into the gym than when Kuroo scores a point.

You’re family — and they make sure you feel it every day.
