OIKAWA:
as soon as the game was over, you saw it in his eyes how broken he was. even if he was giving out smiles and waves to his teammates and his fans, you knew it was all pretend. after you were done helping karasuno pack up their things, you told them you would be heading home with tooru. you waited a bit to see him, knowing he's probably having a pep-talk with his coach and his teammates.
when you saw the familiar white and teal jackets, you tried to spot the mop of brown locks, but to no avail. instead, iwaizumi came up to you with sadness in his eyes, his head hanging low. you gave him a comforting hug, while he told you that your boyfriend was still in the locker room getting changed.
you nodded a thanks before walking in the direction iwaizumi pointed you to, your heart racing at the thought of seeing your boyfriend being upset. when you walked through the double doors, you peeked around the corner to see oikawa sitting on the bench, a white towel hanging around his neck with his head leaned back, eyes closed.
you wearily walked up to him, your heart dropping when you saw a few tears travel down his handsome face. when he opened them, he jumped a little bit at seeing you, quickly wiping the wetness off his cheek as if nothing happened.
"y/n-chan! did you see me out there? i did pretty good right?" he feigned happiness.
you gave him a small frown as you sat next to him, hand grasping his shaking one. "you don't have to pretend in front of me, tooru. it's okay to cry and be upset."
"what do you mean? i'm not upset, i'm great! no need to worry about me," your heart broke when he gave you the fakest smile.
"babe..." you started, gently cupping his face so your eyes bore into his sad ones, "it's okay."
as soon as you ended your sentence, the setter's lips trembled as he leaned forward and placed his head in the crook of your neck, your arms quick to wrap around his shaking shoulders. he let out quiet sobs, salty tears staining your shirt and skin. but you didn't care, you just wanted to be there for him.
you started to caress his back, cooing reassurance and letting him grasp onto you tightly. "tooru..." he let out a hiccup, "look at me baby."
he pulled away slightly, your chest aching at the sight of the love of your life with tears filled in his chocolate brown eyes. he sniffled slightly while you brought your thumbs to wipe away the stray tears.
"i want you to know you did absolutely amazing out there. i know this game was important to you, but do not let this define your abilities as a player. it's okay to lose, it's okay to cry," you leaned forward to plant a soft kiss on his tear-stained cheek, "it's okay to be angry. just know that you have so many people around you that love and support you."
oikawa sniffled again, a small smile replacing the frown on his lips. he didn't say anything, only leaning forward to place his forehead against yours.
"i love you, tooru. you'll always be my number one," you said, pressing your lips against his for a quick kiss.
you pulled away to engulf him in one last tight hug, combing your fingers through his soft locks.
"thank you, i don't know what i would do without you, my love. i love you so much," the pretty setter mumbled into the crook of your neck. you hummed as a response, staying with him a little longer before deciding to head home.
IWAIZUMI:
hajime was angry. angry at himself for letting the team down, angry at not being able to catch up with karasuno's spikes, angry at the universe for not letting his team gain a chance at nationals. he hid all of those emotions though, the pressure of being the strong, stable pillar of the team clouding his thoughts and pushing his emotions aside.
but you knew him better than that.
the ride home was silent, your hands gripping the steering wheel as the ravenette leaned his head against the passenger side window, staring out in his own little world of self pity. you glanced at him for a split second, a frown creeping onto your face at how you could practically feel the chaos of emotions radiating off of him.
when you both got to your house, you immediately went up to your room, hajime trailing closely behind you. the silence overall was heavy, neither of you knowing what to say after what happened in today's game. you wanted to say some type of reassurance. but knowing him, that's not what he needed right now.
he sat himself down on the edge of your bed while you shut your door, then walking over to stand in front of him. his head was hanging low, legs spread in order for you to stand near him. you didn't know what to say, the only thing you did was reach a hand to comb through his spiky brown hair.
that did something, since he tugged at the bottom of your shirt to pull you closer to him. his head was resting against your stomach now, your hands still running through his hair as an attempt to reassure him.
"haji..." you tried to speak but were given a grunt in response. you stifled a laugh at his response, opening your mouth before you felt his biceps wrap around your waist and leaned back, pulling you on top of him as he fell back against your bed.
you let out a squeak, your eyes staring in his olive-green ones with surprise. your gaze softened, tracing his handsome features with your fingertips. he felt a blush creep up to his neck and face, doing his best to avoid your reassuring gaze but failing.
you leaned down to press a kiss to his soft lips, then moving to press kisses against his cheeks, his nose, his eyelids, his forehead.
you pulled away once again, "i know reassuring words aren't what you need right now, but i hope you realize that you kicked ass today, despite the outcome."
your boyfriend let out a heavy sigh, "i just... i feel like i let everyone down. i gave my all in that game, and it wasn't enough."
you took in his response for a minute, your brain wracking with the right words to say. "i can 100% guarantee you that you didn't let a single person down, haji. you're going to have games you win and you're going to have games you lose. and if you lose, the best thing to do is get back up on your feet and move on. but you'll have support the entire way. i'll support you all the way, even if i'm the manager for the opposite team."
when you saw the look he was giving you, you panicked, "shit, was that not okay? i'm sorry i was only trying to-"
you were interrupted when you felt slightly chapped lips meet your own, moving gently against each other, beefy arms pulling you impossibly closer to his chest.
when you both pulled away, hajime hid his face in your neck before mumbling, "was just what i needed to hear."
you smiled.
"i love you, hajime."
"i love you too, doll."
MATSUKAWA:
after celebrating your victory with karasuno's volleyball team, you had received a text from issei asking when you'd head over to his place. it was hard being a manager for your boyfriend's competitor, but you both were mature enough to not let it get in between your guy's relationship. you mentioned to some of the team that you'd be heading out for the night, most of them giving you knowing glances.
you texted your boyfriend saying you were on your way, a little bit of anxiety making its way into your head and heart. you had no idea what you were going to say to him. you were torn, part of your loyalty being to karasuno, but the other part being towards your boyfriend and his team. issei was very understanding about the whole thing, but that didn't mean you didn't feel bad.
when you finally arrived, issei was already standing outside with a blank expression, hands crossed against his chest as he watched you climb out of your vehicle. when you locked eyes with him, you gave him a small smile, reaching out to pull him into a hug once you got near him. you let out a sigh of relief when he hugged you back tighter than usual. you felt him press a kiss against your head before leading you into his house.
the living room tv was on, you assumed he had been waiting out here for you to come over. he plopped down on the couch, patting the seat next to him. the silence he was giving you was making you feel uneasy. usually you'd both be going back and forth with playful banter, but today he was silent.
you understood why, but it scared you. you didn't want to be the person that picked sides, you wanted everyone to be happy in the end. sometimes life is a pain in the ass.
the middle blocker opened his arms, motioning you to cuddle with him while some random show played in the background. you leaned your head on his shoulder, legs thrown across his lap as he caressed them, your own fiddling with his thick fingers.
"somethin' on your mind, doll?"
you jumped a little bit as he spoke, turning to him with wide eyes. "uh-um, not really... how about you?"
he looked away from you for a minute, reaching for your hand as he was pulled into deep thought. you always thought it was attractive when he was thinking, thick eyebrows scrunched together, bottom lip pulled by his top teeth as he stared off into space.
he finally sucked in a breath to speak, "i... i wish we won that game, that's all."
you let out a sigh, turning your body so it was facing his. you grabbed one of his hands in yours, feeling the callouses from years of blocking volleyballs. you opened and closed your mouth multiple times, words escaping you. you didn't want to pick sides.
"i know what you're thinking," you turned to him in slight surprise, "i'm not trying to make you pick sides. i know how difficult it is for you. i'm just sad is all, and i just want you here with me."
"i know... i want to be able to support both you and my team. for what it's worth, you did amazing out there today. you even got hinata to hate your blocks," you joked.
he let out a slight chuckle, pulling you so you were laying in his lap, fingers absentmindedly stroking your hair.
"i'm sorry you guys lost today," you pouted up at him.
"'s okay, baby. hey, maybe this is a sign for you to finally be a spy for us," he smirked down at you, a playful glint in his eye.
you rolled your eyes at him, "not a chance 'sei."
"pretty please?"
"issei..."
"fine..."
HANAMAKI:
makki was never really fond of you being karasuno's manager. he loves you, don't get him wrong, but it was hard whenever one or the other suffered a loss. especially when it was his team this time.
he watched you from the other side of the court as you cheered for your team, a bright smile adorning your pretty face. he hated this feeling, but he couldn't control who you were or weren't a manager for.
once it was time to clean up, you bid goodbye to your team before scoping out the area to try to spot a certain pink-haired male. you thought back to his face when he realized oikawa missed the last receive, blood draining from his face. you wanted to be sad with your whole being, but you couldn't when your whole team was cheering around you. your heart clenched sadly.
you finally spotted your boyfriend walking out with the rest of seijoh, all of them sporting frowns and tearful gazes. some of them gave you sad smiles, a couple looked at you with disdain, but the look your boyfriend gave you was the worst.
you had never seen him look so defeated.
you stood in front of the wing spiker, pulling his nimble hands into yours. his head was hanging, hiding his gaze from you. you ducked down a bit to try to meet his eyes, but with no luck.
you sucked in a deep breath, "do you wanna go somewhere and talk about it?"
he nodded his head, causing you to pull him outside to find somewhere private to comfort him. once you found a safe spot from people's line of view, that's when he broke down.
he pulled you into a suffocating hug, your arms quick to wrap around his waist. sobs wracked through his body, making your own shake. you felt your own tears well up in your eyes, never have you seen your boyfriend be so upset. he had every right to be, though.
you tried your best to calm him down, shushing him gently as you rubbed your hands up and down his back. "i want you to listen to me, hiro."
his sobs had quieted down a bit, all you heard was shaking breaths and tearful sniffles. "just because i'm on a different team, doesn't mean i don't support you nonetheless. you all did fantastic. your spikes were well done, the receives were perfect, and you guys killed it. i know it hurts now, but i'm always going to support you and the others, no matter the outcome."
you felt him pull away from you, your heart breaking at the sight of his watery gaze meeting your own, trying his hardest to stop his lips from trembling.
"oh...hiro," you pulled him back into a bone crushing hug, not caring in the slightest that you had a little bit of trouble breathing.
after a few more minutes of comforting him, you knew that his team was probably looking for him. you pried his hands off of you only to hold them in your soft ones. you leaned up to press a gentle kiss on his lips, tasting the saltiness from his tears.
"i'll come over later and we can hangout okay?"
he nodded his head at you, mumbling a small "okay" before kissing your forehead. you both walked to his bus hand in hand, kissing him goodbye before mumbling "i love you's".
