YOU KNOW WHO I HAVENT TALKED ABT IN A WHILE??? my goodest boy bokuto 🥺
it's his soft snores that wake you up. your body still warm from sleep, you try to turn your head to see what time it is. but instead of the clock on the bedside table, you're met with bokuto's sleeping face.
you never understood how he does it. going to sleep on your left side, strong arms pressing you to his chest as the two of you doze off. yet something happens during the night.
tonight, he seems to have climbed on top of you, his heavy weight pressing on your chest in a weirdly comforting way. his face is nearly pressed against the side of your head, his hot breath fanning against your ear. only his feet seem to be on his side of the bed, one arm tucked over by the other side of your head and the other flopping off the bed.
his bare skin pressed against yours, slightly sticky from sweat. he insists that if he's not dehydrated when he wakes up, it wasn't a good sleep.
you'd occasionally tried to move him off, to push him back to his side of the bed. but he looked so soft, so peaceful when he slept. puffy lips, the tiniest trail of drool running down the side of his mouth, a damp spot next to your head. his hair, soft and silky, laying across his forehead and tousled. you didn't want to disturb that.
so instead you only smile, placing your hands on his warm and damp back and pressing a quick kiss to his cheek, ready to fall asleep again.

SUGAWARA
somehow, he’d seen it coming. the slow replies to his texts, your bright smile getting more and more dull each day. he’s glad you’d given him a key to your apartment, unlocking the door and walking inside. a pile of dishes in the kitchen greeted him, dried out food littering the plates and bowls. piles of pizza boxes and takeout food covered the floor, along with piles of dirty clothes.
suga closed the door behind him and kicked off his shoes, taking another glance at the kitchen, trying to assess where he should start. but before that, he had to check on you. walking through the apartment, opening the blinds in the living room, he made it to your bedroom. knocking on the closed door, he stepped inside.
“hi love” he smiled softly, seeing your head peek up from the cocoon of blankets and pillows. he could hear you hum in response, letting your head flop down on the bed again while he walked over and sat down next to you. “have you gotten up today?” another hum in confirmation, nuzzling deeper into the pillows as his hand rested on your side.
“got water.. ‘nd my meds” your voice got muffled from the pillow, but he still heard you.
“good job, that’s really good. i’m proud of you.” he moves his hand up to pet your head, feeling your greasy hair under his fingers. must’ve been a while since you showered. not that he minded. “when was the last time you ate?”
“mmh.... ordered a pizza last night...” even speaking was draining, already feeling your body growing heavy.
“okay.. i’m gonna go see if i find anything in the kitchen for you to eat, okay? then i’ll do the dishes and maybe you can try to shower? you usually feel better after that, right?” he could feel your body shaking slightly, soft sniffles reaching his ears and his chest ached, wishing that he could take the pain away from you. “hey, i know you can do it. if it’s too tiring, you can call for me and i’ll come help.”
the top part of the cocoon nodded and suga allowed himself to smile for a moment. leaning down he pressed a kiss to your head.
“we’re gonna get through this. together.” his voice soft against your ear, promising that he wasn’t going to leave.

BOKUTO
“kou- i really don’t feel like it today” you mumbled, shifting on the couch. bokuto had been trying to get you to go on a walk with him for the past 30 minutes, his body practically vibrating with energy and with the possibility of spending more time with you. he’s not stupid, he could tell that something was up, your one-worded replies making him anxious.
“come on! just a little walk? around the block. around the building, just outside the door.” he sat down next to you, grabbing your hands and looking at you softly. “please? i don’t know what else to do, but i want you to feel better.. now”
you couldn’t help but feel guilty. your sweet, loving and caring boyfriend, babbling about how he would carry you outside if he needed to. he deserved better.
“kou, it’s okay.. you can go hang out with someone else, okay? i- i know i’m not the most fun right now” you looked away, avoiding his eyes. his grip on your hands relaxed, a stab of pain in your chest, thinking that he was going to leave, even though you gave him an out.
“what?” you carefully looked at him when he spoke, tears slowly welling up in your eyes when you saw him practically deflating before your eyes. “you’re not boring. you’re my baby... even if you’re not feeling good”
a careful hand moved up to cradle your cheek, brushing away the tear slowly moving down. his eyes were still full of love and admiration, looking at you as if you were sunshine itself. it made more tears fall from your eyes, streaming down your face as a choked sob left your parted lips. he quickly pulled you to his chest, hushing softly and cradling your shaking body.
his kindness goes unnoticed unless you look for it. it's hard to tell sometimes, with his scowls and sarcastic comments, but deep down, he cares so much.
it's in the way he brings you a glass of water when you've been studying or working for hours. the way he quietly offers his hand for you to hold when you walk. "so you don't get lost on me" he says, voice dripping with indifference. it brings him mean looks from both his and your friends, annoyed that he doesn't seem to care about you.
what they miss is the way his lips curl up in a small smile when your hand wraps around his. the way he looks at you as if you'd hung all the stars in the night sky when you're sleeping next to him.
they don't know the way he blushed furiously when you confessed to him. how clammy his hands were on your first date. the careful and shy hands that came up to hold your face when you had your first kiss and how his face heated up once more.
it's there. his kindness is always there, and his moments of insecurity forces him to bring you reassurance, making sure that you know how much he cares about you. how much he loves you.
once kuroo gets sleepy, he clings to you like a koala. he demands cuddles on the couch while watching a show, your hands playing with his hair until he’s nearly asleep. he whines loudly when you turn the tv off and say that it’s time for bed, his voice becoming high pitched and wiggling in your hold, insisting that the two of you can just sleep on the couch.
eventually convincing him that the bed would be more comfortable, he holds you tight as you walk to the bathroom. he brushes his teeth at the same time as you, eyes slowly falling closed and you have to elbow his tummy to keep him from falling asleep on you in the bathroom.
he sighs happily once you’re both tucked into bed, pulling you impossibly close to him and humming out how much he loves you before his eyes drift close and his breathing becomes steady and deep.
convincing your boyfriend komori to do your skincare together was probably one of your best decisions. at first you helped him, washing his face and carefully applying all kinds of creams and oils until he was comfortable enough to do it himself. now it was the way the two of you ended your day together, standing by the bathroom mirror and doing self care together.
twice a week you did facemasks, applying them and then sitting down on the couch to watch some more tv before heading to bed. his favorite was the sheet masks, mostly because it was the easiest to apply and remove, but also the easiest to kiss you in.
he had your routine memorized, the order that you used the products and when you were running low on some. attentive and caring was the two main points of your boyfriend, always handing you a towel when you finished washing you face, and kissing you sweetly when you did a lip scrub. “i need it too!” he would giggle, rubbing his lips against yours, claiming that it was “double the exfoliation” until you pulled away, laughing.
fr fr feeling soft i love u to the moon and back im so proud of u, may i have 🍊 + tsumu <3
adele my baby cmere lemme kith
🍊 - “cuddles?”
heading to bed with your boyfriend atsumu was heaven. giddy with excitement, you quickly brushed your teeth and hurried to your shared bedroom where he was waiting, already comfortable under the sheets. seeing you come into the room, he grinned and put his phone down, lifting up the sheets and opening his arms wide
“cuddles?” he laughed when you nearly jumped into the bed with him, immediately curling up against his strong body and relaxing when his arm came down and brought you closer
staying like this until you dozed off, he played with your hair softly and whispered about his day, smiling softly when you hummed in response. it was his favorite time of day, getting to hold you so close and warm.
Hiii! Congrats on 300!!!! For your event, could I request 🍊 + Suga? Thank you :)))
of course you can <33
🍊 - “cuddles?”
work was too much. too long and too tiring, and sugawara was exhausted. his feet shuffled through the door of your shared home, barely calling out a greeting while taking off his shoes.
his shuffling continued to the living room, finding you laying on the couch. a soft smile grew on his face when he saw you, looking so comfortable and happy.
“cuddles?” you asked, opening up your arms and smiling at his tired face. he perked up for a moment, nodding and hurrying to you, laying down with his face pressed to your tummy. your hands found his hair, playing with the strands and speaking softly about your day, waiting until you heard soft snores coming from him to stop speaking. you hold him close, petting his hair gently and keeping him safe, letting him sleep for as long as he wanted.
OH ELLEN CONGRATULATIONS ON 300!!! THATS AMAZING!! Big kitheth from me
For your event, could I do 🥭 + akaashi please?
🥺👉🏼👈🏼 ily angel !
WAAAAH FAWNNN ilysm thank you 🥺
🥭 - how you met
now, meeting at the supermarket was probably not the most romantic spot, but you looked so cute that akaashi couldn’t help himself. struggling to get a cart, he came up and offered to help, quickly dragging one out for you and flashing you a shy smile. grateful, you smiled back and thanked him and made some comment about how you had been standing there for minutes. a sudden stroke of bravery, he asked if you would like some help inside the store as well, in case any stubborn apples wouldn’t go in the bag. you only giggled, accepting his offer.
realistically he had only gone in to get a few items, but he walked through the whole store with you, helping you pick out the best produce and products, picking up his own items as well. once at the checkout, he helped you bag up your things and you thanked him yet again, asking if he would like to help you in a coffee shop sometime as well.
he only blushed and nodded, quickly putting your numbers in each others phones and walking your separate ways, grinning widely.
