schweiden adlers!ushijima and college!you where you have posters of him over you dorm walls, he's your wallpaper in your phone, computer, etc... so everyone from college thinks you're just another fangirl and not have connected the dots that your high school boyfriend 'waka' is actually schweiden adlers' ace ushijima.
so, imagine everyone surprise when ushijima goes to your graduation and you were not, in fact, a crazy fangirl but actually his fiancé.
thinking about high school sweethearts!ushijima x you where ushijima had always been extremly strict about going public with you since he started to gain media attention. unlike the other girlfriends on the team, you aren't allowed to wear his jersey or be part of the team photos. and you understand it's for your protection, as the media tried to make public everything about him. his family, friends, school archivements, where he likes to go to shop... so he's extra protective and secretive about you. you're his and his only. but then, he made into the national team and then, he's at the olympics. and, after two weeks, the longest weeks of your life, japan wins. and ushijima, high from the winning and the happiest, ran straight to you to kiss you. as he wanted to all those years and only his extremly self discipline could stop him. so he kiss you and the rest of the world see it.
what about pro!ushijima who founds out he's apparently in a relationship with an unkwon woman by his teammates asking him next training sesion.
"who is she?" "what's her name?" "where do you meet?" "do you really have a girlfriend? dude, you should have told us"
ushijima is flabbergasted. how the media found out about his second house in the countryside. and then follow him. and then took photos of him with his cousins and their friends.
in particularly with her.
she's just her cousin's best friend. they know each others since they were little kids. they have spend all summers together and, later, every time ushijima had time to come back to their summer house, they all meet up.
she wasn't interested in him and he has been in love with her since they were kids.
he had volleyball. she had other boyfriends. he had to train. she had to study.
now they barely text, only for his cousin birthday party or whenever he wins an important match (and if he tries his hardest whenever there's a final so he can get a text from her, none has to know).
a new text pop up.
it's her.
"the media thinks we're dating. LOL"
ushijima feels his heart sink. of course she would think it's a joke. well, it is. but still...
"sorry for the disturbance. my team is working on a statement."
"np, ushi. we'll know how press are with you. next time we have to be more careful :)"
"yes"
three dots appears and disappears for a while. ushijima stares at them.
"ushi, when are you coming back?"
ushijima blinks. he doesn't expect that.
"in three weeks, for my aunt's birthday."
"cool"
again three dots appears and disappears.
"hey, would you like to go to have some coffee or something?"
"sure. momo-kun has talked about a new coffee shop she wants to try. we should go together."
three dots appears and disappears for a whole minute. ushijima doesn't understand what's going one.
"well, i meant like you and me yk." "like a date"
before ushijma could blink, the second text is deleted. she wants to go to a date with him? now it's ushijima who writes and deletes his text over and over.
"we should go on a date." he ends up sending, "let me book a restaurant here for next week."
"but i'm not in tokyo ???"
"i'll sent you a cab. it will take you at 7pm. wear that black dress you bought last year."
an uncoming call come in. it's her.
"ushi-kun, have you lost your mind!?"
chapter 1: the meeting
pro!ushijima, who is still a little lost on social clues and overall relationships, gets dragged by his team to a bar after a match. he clearly don't want to be there as he's alone with his drink one his teammate ordered for him.
he is about to leave the bar when you approach him. you two have been making eye contact for a whole hour until you decide it is enough.
you introduce yourself with a smile and ready to ask for his number. ushijima, surprising himself and everyone around him, fills the contact form in your phone and, after a while, gives your phone back. you can't believe your luck. the most handsome, and intimidating, man you have ever seen in your life has his cheeks blushed.
you blink twice and you look down at your phone. and then you laugh.
he has filled everything. not just his phone number and complete name, but his email, birthday, postal code and an emergency number under the name of someone called satori tendou.
"why are you laughing?"
his voice is deep. feels deeper as you are closer now. a shiver runs down your spine. oh lord, he's hot, really hot.
but he is frowning, clearly not understanding what's so funny.
"nothing," you smile, "you're just too cute."

chapter 2: the call
pro!ushijima with his main fanbase being (older) women. his fan club is run by women in their mid forties/fifties, some married with kids, others single and running successful business. they will organize multiple events through the season and trips to follow him during the away matches. they send him the most expensive gifts in all sv. league to the point the federation has to make a budget cap. all the kids in the standings? his fans’ children. all the covers of magazines he does? sold out. he gets multiple household items ads because his fanbase will sold out those too. whenever he holds a fan meeting, multiple local business have to close that day since their employees will be at the fanmeeting. when ushijima turns thirty and still no ring, his fans starts to introduce their daughters in hope to have him as son-in-law. he becomes the nation son-in-law.
chapter 6: fans
pro!ushijima, who isn't used to be around kids, is the most popular athlete among elementary students. it's not unusual to see him alway surrounded by kids after a match, asking for photos and autographs. his stoic face has always a concern look trying to keep up with the kids' enthusiasm. you're always happy to help him to get the photos done with the kids, as you love seeing him around kids.
later he would say he doesn't know how to behave around them but, deep down, you both know that he's amazing with kids. he will answer each questions seriously and give each kid the time to answer all their questions. he doesn't use the baby voice like everyone else (like you), yet he comes extremly soft talking to them.
his mail is usally kids talking about him being their role model and, every time, it melts him. later at night, when you two are lying in the bed, your head over his chest and one of his hand tracing some invisible lines on your arms and stomach, he would speak about those letters very fondly. he remembers every name and stories. when you and ushijima go back to japan to spend the holidays with his family, he gest extremly happy whenever he meets one of them.

🌸 @ultracheesesideboob 🌸
thinking about pro!ushijima who only drink black coffee or tea and always looks disgusted whenever you ask for your caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino crème base instead of coffee. but he knows your order by heart so, if you warm him of a long study session at the library, he would go after training to the library to give you the drink and maybe steal a couple of minutes of your time.
chapter 2: the call
pro!ushijima, who has no clue on dating and relationships, as he was focuses on being the best volleyball player growing up and never experienced any teenager romance. so he calls panicking (as much panic he can cover in his always calm voice) his best friend tendou, asking for advice on what to do after you texted the morning after. tendou ended up being useless as his suggestions became wilder and wilder and some even borderline ilegal. oh how much ushijima misses talking to tendou.
he ends up calling his second best option: oikawa. what he doesn’t calculate is the difference time zone. oikawaka is pissed off for interrupting his beauty sleep and barks at him something about ushijima taking advantage of his generousity when ushijima rushes to end the call.
ushijima is mortified.
never in his life he has felt so lost. usually he knows what to do and when to talk. his life has been just volleyball and he doesn’t like to talk unless he has something to say.
and uwithout him being 100% conscious, he ends up calling you.
“hello?”
ushijima holds a breathe. your lovely voice sounds more warm and sweet without the sound of chatters and drinks at the bar.
“ushijima? it’s you?”
it’s surprising to find out you’re awake before 7 am. what you do to be awake at those hours?
he must has asked out loud because you giggle and reply, “i have enter ay my office at 9 am and i have a good hour of a train ride between home and work…”
you keep rambling about you living far from work and you’re actually looking for a new place for next year, nearer to the center. ushijima hears you moving around the house and then leaving. the call continues while ushijima stretches and you find a seat to sit down.
almost two hours later, you announce you are at the office and you have to hang up.
“it was nice to talk to you,” you say quietly, the sound of the heels against the marble floor in the background. ushijima wishes he could see you, what are you wearing. he doesn’t remember if you wore heels to the bar.
“it was nice.”
“well, i’m actually right now in my desk. i seriously have to hang up,” you have said that ten times already. you seems to pause for a moment before adding, “do you mind if i call you tomorrow morning?”
“i would like that.”
ushijima would love that.
“perfect!” you say a little too loudly and ushijima hears talking to you but he doesn’t understand exactly what they told you.
“alright, have a good day. hear you tomorrow then,” you add some moments later.
“tomorrow,” ushijima whispers while you hang up.
ushijima finds himself smiling.
