You and kageyama were lying in your bed getting ready for sleep facing one another. You couldn't contain the smile creeping itself onto your face, tobio was terribly flustered. His cheeks warm and tinted a shade of red as he tried to keep a straight face that looked more pouty than anything.
A small giggle leaving you at the sight, the strain you could see him putting in. It's not that he didn't want to react or anything, he was just so hyper focused on not ruining this moment he figured if he made a weird face you might get freaked out. He was too cute.
You looked deep into his beautiful blue eyes, they were absolutely breath taking along with him. He himself was a gorgeous being. He had the prettiest eyes and the handsomest smile when you were graced to see it. Often his face has a pout or an angry look, but with you, his gaze softened. Those angry eyes being replaced with ones full of unconditional love.
Your hand raises slightly coming closer to his face to gently stroke his hair. He shivers at your light touch his breath hitching, unknowing how to feel.
“ goodness, tobi’.., your eyes are so much prettier up close.”
Tobios heart was practically beating out of his chest, he swore he could feel it in his throat and hear it in his ears. He shuddered at the sweet sound of your voice whispering such pleasant and kind words to him.
Your kindness was genuinely one of a kind. He's never met anyone like you, he wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world. He really Is the one to only live once. And you are that love.
You move closer slightly and pepper small gentle kisses over his face. You could feel the warmth radiating off of his face, it was too adorable. The warmth of your palm on his cheek had his eyes fluttering shut. He leaned his head into your touch seemingly calming down in your hands
You pull him closer and give him a kiss on the top of his head. He sighs heavily feeling a sudden rush of comfort take over his body as he lies in your arms. He's never had something quite like this before; it's all so new and vibrant to him he isn't sure what to do, but goodness how he absolutely adored having you to himself like this.
“ ...shut up.”
You scoff, you smile never leaving as you shut your eyes and hold him tightly. Kageyama wrapped his arms around you and pulled you as impossibly close as he could.
your palms release each other to rub the bony sides of your forearms, trying to relieve the stinging pain. the volleyball launches towards kageyama, veering off to side. he catches it effortlessly, then spins it between his two hands as he walks over.
“your platform is wrong. twist your forearms more so the ball hits on the meatier side, not the bones. and keep it leveled,” he instructs with a clear low voice.
you twist your wrists so that your forearms face the sky, slightly wincing at the unfamiliar position. “like this?”
kageyama’s brows furrow as he analyzes your form with concentrated dark blue eyes, then hugs the ball so it’s tucked between his chest and his elbow.
he reaches forward, pushing your arms so that they’re closer together, then trails his fingers up to lock your elbows. “hold this position. and bend your knees to keep low.”
you do as he says and he walks back to his previous spot, setting the ball to you. you bump it up, gasping in delight when it sails directly towards him.
kageyama grins, continuously setting the ball to you so that you can bump it back to him.
unbeknownst to you, he’s hardly paying attention to the actual ball being sent back and forth. instead, he watches how your smile gets wider and wider each time you hit it straight. watches how your eyes follow the ball and shine brighter when it makes contact with your arms. it’s clumsy—amateur. but he finds himself running far and wide to prevent your bumps from falling to the ground, not wanting to stop your rally.
he wonders why he didn’t teach you volleyball sooner. seeing his two worlds collide set off something warm in his stomach. even more so at the sight of your proud smile beaming at him.
after a while, you intentionally step aside to let the ball sail past you, limbs aching and small pants leaving your mouth. you rub your forearms and look down, seeing little red dots rising to the surface of your raw skin.
kageyama approaches you and grasps both your wrists gently. you pout at him, “tobio, it hurts.”
he looks down at you with a soft smile on his lips. gently, he raises your wrists and bends his head down to meet them halfway, pecking small little kisses all along your bruised arms. a blush rises to your cheeks and you giggle, heartbeat kicking in your ears as he holds eye contact the whole time.
“do you kiss all your opponents’ bruises?” you tease, playfully narrowing your eyes. “you got habits i should be worried about?”
“nah. ‘s special treatment, for only one player,” he mumbles against your skin, his kisses now traveling past your forearm and up your arm.
“oh really? lucky them,” you grin, giggling and squirming when his lips start pecking faster up your neck, lingering a bit longer behind your ear. he lands a big resounding smooch on your mouth and you laugh. you laugh even harder at the smirk on his face.
he tugs your wrists then hugs your frame tight to his chest, rocking you both side to side. more like i’m the lucky one, he thinks. really kicking himself now for not teaching you the damn sport sooner.
I've been seen so many cute videos of the trend where one person of a couple doesn't say I love you back when the other says it as they're leaving 😭
Any character you think would be good for it would be fun!!
ohhhh this is such a good one anon lmfao i feel like all my "blorbos" would be kinda like that depending on the situation right. but let's go back to our #roots tonight with a bit of tobio and shouyou:
tobio would frown and be kinda confused cause you always say it back and it's strange, that "void" after his "i love you" without your echo of "i love you too" i do think he'd stew about it... like hardcore, scowl at the wall, be really distracted at practice, and when his teammates call him out on it, he'd be like "i think my relationship might be ending" and his ali roma teammates deadpanning like "you mean ur very happy marriage of x years the person that you've had a thing for since ur highschool days what the fuck is going on" and when he tells them, they never let him live it down, though they do tell him to buy flowers "just in case" on his way home so when he shows up back home with flowers, you're like "oh? whats this?" and he's just like "well whatever i did to upset you. i'm sorry. but it'd be a hassle for us to get a divorce and --" "wait wait, divorce? tobio what --" "you didn't say it back this morning." "say... what back?" his whole face goes red and he scowls harder than ever, "i love you."; you make it up to him later though, don't worry :)
hinata would be the most whiney bf ever. like ever. follows you around pouting, prodding at you asking if you're mad at him and then when you tell him that you're not, trying to guess what he might've done to make you mad "shou, i'm not mad --" "but you didn't say it back!" "you're gonna be late for your beach game!" "it's just a friendly weekend game -- now tell me --" "you're never late to your games, friendly, weekend or otherwise -- c'mon! if we don't leave soon i won't be able to get the good seats!" pesters you all the way to the tournament, clutches his stomach bc poor bby def still gets stomachaches when he's upset or nervous, and it isn't till you pull him in for a kiss right before he has to go sign in for the match that you say it back, "i love you too, okay? there -- you happy?" he beams, the light flickering back into his eyes like someone turning back on the sun, "yep! love you more! gotta go! imma be late!!!"
heey, i really loved your writing!! could you write a fluff where kageyama has a crush on seijouh's manager and doesn't know how to approach because of certain people (oikawa and kindaichi lol) ?
sorry if something is spelled wrong, I'm using the translator 😞❤️
lovee from Brazil!
໒⦂ 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐀 𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄.
notes. first song that came to mind^ by taylor swift ( ofc ) but anyway.. hello anon! much love to you in brazil<3 i hope this drabble is too your liking, not very confident in my take on kageyama but we cope.
genre. fluff ( kinda cliché.. )
tobio kageyama x gn!reader.
tobio wasn’t exactly what many would call, in tune with their feelings. in fact, he sucked at expressing what he felt. so much, that any emotions could easily be compared to crashing waves.
feelings surface and take the skies to great heights, only come crashing down and return to the expanse of water.
though it wasn’t completely his fault. many factors prevented him from expressing himself in a normal and understandable way. this time around, it was two students from his old junior high that stood in the way — yuutaro kindaichi, and no surprise here — tooru oikawa.. whom he didn’t have the best relationship with.
and what exactly were they blocking him from? well, his feelings towards you.
once upon a time ago, you had also attended kitagawa daiichi and have been kageyama’s crush for as long as could remember. no one could compare to you no matter how many times he tried to disregard his feelings.
now that you attended aoba johsai, he feared he might never get to tell you of his sentiments towards you.
the one opportunity he had to speak with you was during the practice match early into the school year, and at the singular opportunity he received to approach you, when he didn’t just feel like a face in a crowd.. kageyama became completely tongue tied.
like a fool he choked on his words before spouting a pathetic excuse of a greeting once kindaichi had arrived with kunimi to pull you away from him.
now, he was met with a new opportunity.. one that featured no aoba johsai, no court and zero volleyball — just the two of you, and the beach.
the raven haired setter had come with his sister for the day, saying to him that he had needed sun and a break from his cherished sport. the odds of you showing up were zero, and yet, here he was.. proven wrong once more.
miwa, upon seeing you playing blissfully in the water with a friend you had brought down to the beach with you, had of course nagged her younger brother, urging that it was fate. how often was it that you showed up to the beach at the same time as your crush without that knowledge, anyway?
still, the first year had refused to approach you. how could he when you were having so much fun? you’d freeze up completely if you had to hear another failed attempt at a confession.
despite being so close to him, you felt so far away for him. out of his league, out of reach.. and it terrified him to take those few steps in approaching you. who was to say you wanted him anyway if he spoke up? for all he knew someone else was in the picture.
there was just too much at risk, and he wasn’t sure if he was ready to hear your rejection.
“tobio.. you’re gonna lose her completely with the rate you’re going at.” his older sister sighed out, draining her bottle of coke. “nobody’s here to stop or make you feel judged in any way. and i can tell you right now,” she paused, pushing her sunglasses up a bit. “you’re not getting a better opportunity than this one.”
his lips pursed together as he stole another glance at you before looking at the emptied glass bottle in his hand. “it’s pointless trying, onee-san. she came here to enjoy herself and relax — not witness an embarrassment of a confession, if i even get one out.” the words would be completely jumbled, so much that it was sure to sound illiterate. like a baby trying to get their first word out.
he wondered if he could just get his feelings across without standing there to tell you. if he could do it that way, surely the confession would get across, and it won’t have cost him his dignity.
the elder eyed the younger for a moment before letting out a hum. “if this was volleyball, surely you’d have found a way around this by now.” she spoke up before laying back in her beach chair. “facing defeat has made you too comfortable, tobio.”
his lips parted to throw back a retort before, wanting to defend what little pride he had left, but his thoughts failed him when they couldn’t form into a sentence. miwa was right, painful as it was to admit. he gave up way too easily, all because of vulnerability.
his gaze lingered on the glass in his hand for a little while longer, the sea beyond twinkling in the distant horizon.
and just like that, an idea struck him. “nee-san, do you have a paper and pen i can borrow?”
“i’m telling you hana-chan, every conversation we’ve had just ends up in word vomit when he addresses me — considering yuutaro-kun and oikawa-senpai always intervene..” you sighed out to your friend from johzenji, pursing your lips together. “i feel bad each time we talk because of it.”
the brunette lowered her sunglasses to her face, letting out a hum. “volleyball boys do tend to hold onto their grudges, otherwise they’d be more like my team.. and they’re certainly a draining bunch.” it was like hosting a kid’s birthday party everyday when it came down to managing. “maybe you should try contacting him outside of volleyball?” she suggested, sipping on her smoothie.
your lips pursed together. “i probably should, he was a really good guy back in junior high.. despite what everyone says about his behavior with volleyball.” an awkward laugh seemed to have left your lips at the memories. “but i miss having him in my life, i just don’t know if he feels the same way..”
“what’s that?” the manager spoke up, sitting upright.
raising a brow, you turned to look at your friend. “i said i don’t know if he feels the same way..”
“no no.” misaki shook her head, pointing to the shore. “that, over there.” she corrected, lifting her shades.
you blinked at her finger, following its direction before narrowing your eyes to see what she had been referring to. the sun wasn’t quite helping your vision, in fact- whatever it was, the sun reflected it in a way that made you get up to go look for yourself.
if someone threw trash into the sea with garbage bins scattered all around the beach to maintain the cleanliness, you were seriously going to throw hands.
as you approached the shallow water, you kneeled to pick up the discarded bottle, wondering who on earth couldn’t just get off their ass and throw away a coke bottle.
but as you got a better look, you found a paper inside. at first glance it might have been a wrapper for a straw, however it wasn’t crumbled up like trash. rather — it was rolled up.
part of you thought you might have found the krabby patty secret formula somehow by its appearance. glass bottle and a note? a child would have surely thought similarly and opened it to see.
and like a kid.. curiosity got the better of you.
twisting off the cap, you flipped the bottle over to shake the letter out, eager to see what you might find. maybe even treasure — although that was farfetched.. even for you.
unraveling the message, however, you found none of the things you anticipated. in fact, you were met with very the last scenario that could have possibly crossed your mind.
dear y/n,
um.. i’m no good with words, but uh, you probably noticed that the last few times we saw each other. and i have no hope that whatever i say will be any better here.. especially with limited space, but i’m hoping that i can put my feelings into words a little easier without my pride getting in the way, awkward meetings, or our old schoolmates.
i like you, a lot.. and i have for a really long time now — since kitagawa daiichi. but i’ve just, had a hard time bringing those feelings across to you, so i never got the chance, especially when we go to different schools.
just feels like the universe doesn’t want me with you every time i try to speak up, so i decided to write them instead, hoping they get to you in this message.
if you don’t feel the same, i understand- i just hope we can remain friends, and that i haven’t made things even more awkward than they already were between us.
yours sincerely,
tobio kageyama.
shock painted your features as you read the name nine more times, scanned the contents of the letter before looking behind you.
tobio was somewhere on the beach and you hadn’t even seen him. he could have made an approach as well, but his fears, you guessed, of rejection.. told him not to.
finally, as your eyes were ready to give up the search, a sliver of blueberry caught your gaze. bingo.
“y/n?? where are you-”
“one minute, i think i saw someone i know!” you quickly intercepted hana, rising from your crouched position to run a few umbrellas down.
there was one with a duo underneath that resembled one another, and if your memory served you correctly — that was tobio and his older sister. miwa, if your memory hadn’t failed you.
the setter seemed to be his own world for a moment, filing his nails as part of his routine. even outside of the court, he still had to maintain his habits.
“tobio, i’m off to get us more drinks.” the female spoke up after looking up, smiling to herself. “be right back~”
kageyama let out a noise of agreement, only lifting his head a smidge to nod before pausing when he noticed a figure across from him — your figure.
either you just noticed him, or you had actually received the haphazard message in the bottle he had sent. and by the looks of it, it had been the latter.
“y/n..” he breathed out, lowering the filer in his hand as he watched you approach him.
the butterflies from every occasion he had encountered you this past year seemed to have returned to his stomach. was this what hinata felt before every match..?
“tobio-kun, it’s been awhile.” you smiled a little, letting out a sheepish laugh. “surprised to find you here, it almost feels like fate.. except no distractions this time for us to finally put everything out on the table.”
his heart seemed to accelerate with pace, the nerves increasing almost tenfold. rejection, he could just sense it coming. “um, well.. i already said how i feel, considering you got the letter.” he spoke up, eyeing the emptied beverage in your hands.
at his reasoning, you lifted the bottle before humming. “true, but i didn’t actually hear it from you. for all i know it could have been something of your sister’s doing.”
tobio, blushing profusely, nearly found himself barking back a response — a frequent habit of his. but as he eyed your expecting gaze, he faltered, lowering his head in defeat.
“how will i know if by saying it, i won’t just end up being made into a fool..?” he mumbled, pursing his lips together.
as you took a step closer, you gave him a knowing stare. “let me do you a better one, how are you so sure i’ll make you into a fool? you’re aware of your feelings.” you paused before pointing to yourself. “but you’re not aware of mine, it seems.”
his lips parted to retort before he froze up. “wait- your feelings? you..”
a smile returned to your lips as you sat beside him. “i like you, tobio-kun. are the feelings i read true?” you asked him, tilting your head curiously.
the color on his cheeks seemed to darken as he avoided your intent gaze for a moment before nodding. “they’re as i wrote them.. i really do like you, y/n — and i meant every word i said.. i was just scared you might’ve felt.. differently.”
“well,” you grabbed his hand, grinning brightly. “rest assured the feelings are mutual at long last!”
notes. sorry this is rushed and written in like 7382393939 different sittings.. hoping i was able to fulfill your request somewhat?? idk how in character he is.. but anyway, ty for the request anon and sorry for the very long wait ahaha.. please enjoy!
tysm for reading! consider leaving a tip if you enjoyed<3
↳ return to main masterlist . request rules . send an ask
I think his favourite drink would be like blueberry boba
He likes to go on runs and he'd ask you to join him if you guys were dating
It's also canon that he gets terrible grades so if you were good at studying then he'd ask you to help him (I love study dates so much ngl)
I don't he's into pda either but he'd be much more clingy in private
Imagine going to a cherry blossom park with him like it'd be so cute istg
He should NOT be allowed inside a kitchen like its a literal fire hazard ngl
I bet you'd have to be the one to stop the fights between Hinata and Kageyama before they get too into it
He'd be so nervous at the start cause he's never done anything like this before
He prob showers a lot cause he hates smelling like sweat which also means he smells good like all the time
I think he'd be into someone he's known longer like since middle school or smthg
I also feel like he would be into someone older like by a year or two
I think he loves it when you tell him about how great he played in a game, give him continuous and constant encouragement, and just like really believe in him
He loves it when you run your hand through his hair
I also think his hair is gonna be like really smooth cause Miwa tells him what shampoos to use
Imagine he hit you in the face with a volleyball once accidentally like he'd get so nervous, it'd be p funny
If you're good at organising then please help this guy with like everything
I read somewhere that he's the type of person to put sugar in sweetened yoghurt which I think is true, he's also prob put in salt accidentally at least once
summary: Kageyama and tsukishima Valentine’s Day dates <3
tags: gender neutral reader, 0.5k words, fluff
KEI TSUKISHIMA takes you to a romantic cafe that is surrounded by aromatic flora. When you arrive, he pulls out a seat for you and gives you a slight kiss on the forehead. At first, it was awkward and tense with small talk, but then the conversation flowed into passionate laughter, banter and intimacy. Once the food arrived, Kei offered to feed you, like what other couples do. You knew he only asked you jokingly, but you took up his offer. His cheeks blushed a faint colour of rose, as he rose up the fork to your mouth. He berates other couple for being affectionate in public, but now he knows why.
Once the reservation is over, he stands with you outside while you wait for your ride. You noticed him fumbling with his pockets and teased him for being nervous because it was the first ever valentine's you guys had celebrated together. In the midst of your words, you feel a thin dainty book shoved in your chest. You opened it wide, to see a large collection of well-written and emotional love poems dedicated to you. With a grin, you asked him to read them to you. He doesn’t want to, but your smile can push him to great limits.
TOBIO KAGEYAMA takes you to an exciting amusement park with a variety of games, rides and prizes. The two of you walk hand in hand together, searching for the next ride to go on. Usually, you overestimate your ability to handle steep or horror rides and he ends up consoling you. After many rides, you guys head to all the games. Remember, Tobio is competitive and is only willing to settle for number one. He beats all of the younger people out of prizes and always manages to get the biggest plushie just to hear your excited squeal. Your laugh could make him rob the whole park of all the plushie, just for you.
When the rides close up, and game stands run out of prizes, Tobio buys some bao buns and a drink of your choice. The two of you gaze at each other’s eyes, while reminiscing the absolute night you had and feeding each other the buns. Tobio wished this moment would last forever.
Side note: Don't forget to read the note at the end of this headcannon, Thank you!
Hinata Shoyo
Hinata is very loud and chattery especially when it comes to the topic of volleyball, But ever since the first time he met you he couldn't help but fluster every time you visibly beam at him whenever he's near. Of course because of this he is mostly near you all the time and it's for his selfish reason to stare at you as if he could see the little flowers floating around you.
Kageyama Tobio
I totally think this guy has acts of service for his love language. Anyways, imagine his reaction when you start doing things for him like wiping his sweat off, buying some milk from the vending machine, etc. He was very flustered from the feeling of being taken care of by someone/doing things for him. After that he got used to you just doing things for him which he deeply appreciates.
Tsukishima Kei
He really likes to rile you up, like hiding your things or annoying you just to see the cute expressions your face makes never fails to make him blush. He is also a very selfish person if he says so himself, so do expect him to be a bit possessive over you
Yamaguchi Tadashi
He definitely has a physical touch as his love language, Every time you do physical touch things like hugging him from behind or holding his hands and softly tracing the small veins on his hand makes him blush tons but the one thing that makes him go full on red like Kirishima's hair is when you touch his face and kiss his freckles. Since he got bullied because of his freckles, he just feels loved when you do it.
Yachi Hitoka
I'll be straight forward for this, She absolutely likes it when you call her nicknames that make her feel confident and pretty. She gets super shy and stutters sometimes and would mostly likely scold you to not call her that in public but would respond to it unconsciously every time. It makes her feel special when you call her those.

m.atsumu
“y/n. You are the the freshly lit candle after a long day of errands. You are the breath of fresh air in the peak of spring. you are the spring in my step, and you are my favorite song on repeat for the rest of my days. You are the perfect serve. You are the hard-fought win after a long tournament. You are like a constant fire, burning in my chest. You’re the winds that guide sails and the trails that lead travelers back home. Your love is like the warmth of a thousand suns. You are the angel who’s come down to spare me of my suffering, to relieve me of that overwhelming nothingness there was before. You are proof that God adores me, and you are the envy of all of Hades’s might. You’re the light of my life, and without you there is no life. Giving you my last name is the comfort that you and I are together even when miles apart. Neither land nor sea can separate this name from you, nor your heart from mine. Damnation and divinity are nothing now that I’ve seen your light. I love you, Miya y/n. You are proof that God is the way, the truth, and the light.”
k. tobio
"there are many things i have not been so sure of in life. i've never been sure of where life would take me or how well i would do with volleyball. i've never been sure of my social skills or my place in the lives of others. i've neverbeen sure of what i'd eat for breakfast the next morning. i'm not even sure these words will be enough to say what i'm feeling. the only thing i've ever been truly certain of was my love for you, y/n. of all the variables in the world, our love was never an uncertainty. my love for you is as immutable as the sun rising every morning and setting every night. the change of the tides could never deter me from falling for the light in your eyes. there's nothing as world-shattering and breathtaking than the love you give. your love redeems, heals, and saves. today i vow to never abandon my post as your devotee. today, i am certain you were made for loving me."
a. keiji
"to be loved is to be truly known, and i can gladly say i am loved by you. there is nothing more addicting than basking in your love, than being seen for who i am as my truest self. your love cuts through the hard defenses of stoicism, and it shows me i am yours. i believe my task in life is to love you, and my heart has found a home in your arms. when i look at you, i am in the throws of love once more, and my mortal form aches when it is away from you. your love is like recognizing myself once again, and knowing that there is no piece of me that isn't a part of you. thank you for knowing me, and i vow to know you until my heart lays itself to rest."
these are truly awful but i am full of emotion, and i think we as a community deserve more lovestruck hq men at the altar.
i hope you all have enjoyed this sweet (and slightly unrealistic) little blurb <33
