Ushijima and Daichi build you a sofa for outside in your garden. Knowing you wanted a place to curl up in the sun and read a book or nap, spend hours a day after work to make it look nice and comfy, buying you pillows and an umbrella until itâs perfect.
Bundling you up in the cooler evenings in blankets and jumpers and putting a film on his laptop because he knows your favourite place to be is the sofa he built you. Placing kisses to your forehead and rubbing patterns into your thighs and palms as he holds you close. Heâs so glad you enjoy it.

ushijima wakatoshi x gn!reader // sfw, fluff, & canonverse
are we surprised that this was requested by my bitch @howlpendragonsupremacist ?? i luv u kt
tis just a quick hc thingy iâm writing while i keep yâall waiting on more big tings bc i like this idea & have head full of thoughts. ushi is baby marg take no criticism
general masterlist // haikyƫ!! masterlist
PLS LMAO this would start out so awk
just,, when boys text like ushi KEJFJDJS
okay sO
you guys already know each otherâyou probably have for a while, but like,, you donât know each other, ya know?
youâve kind of been interested for a minute, a hot minute, but it was never really enough to make a move or anything; you just kinda watched him from afar and were content with that
because anyway, the idea of a person tends to be a lot more appealing than the person themselves, right?
but life becomes inevitably boring like it always does, and youâre running out of ways to make it less so, and i mean,, itâs ushi. he is Attractive. capital âaâ, italicized and bolded.
so one night you decide, fuck it, what could go wrong? and you text him. (maybe i should mention you havenât really talked before, or at least not in a very long time)
poor ushi, so socially ineptđ„ș but heâs trying his best tho and that is what matters
you attempt to send him memes, tiktok references, whatever. the irony goes completely over his head. which in itself is ironic; this 6â3â bitch.
facebook memes? nah, they are not memes to him. he is a facebook boomer trapped in an 18-year-old body (a seggsy one, at that, and free of the problematic traits of most facebook boomers. but he is a facebook boomer.)ïżŒ
but!!! your interest in him turns out to be reciprocated
and as time goes on and you continue talking, you both get used to the otherâs little idiosyncrasies n things
he begins to get your memes a little more, starts sharing in your obscure, maybe cursed sense of humor, and you stop minding his bluntness quite so much as you basically pavlov train yourself out of thinking that every properly punctuated text is passive aggressive, or that his formality means that heâs keeping you at a distance
he asks to facetime one day and you politely make an excuse bc youâre afraid of it being awkward (which yeah, it prob would be)
BUT eventually you also just get up the guts (or whatever) to call him and,, itâs actually really enjoyable?? quiet for a lot of the call, yeah, but not actually that awkward. and itâs nice knowing that heâs just there and getting to stare at him uninterrupted ïżŒ
so you do it again!! (and again, and again)
and one day he proposes that you guys hang out in person, yk, like,,, a date
and like,, you gotta say yes. come on.
you go to the aquarium. itâs pretty. and more awkward than facetime. but you take some comfort in knowing that it goes both ways.
and just like facetime calls, datesâjust being alone togetherâget easier after that first one
after maybe two or three, you come to the mutual conclusion that the both of you actually click really well; itâs just the getting past the initial uncertainty that was difficult and maybe a little painful. and you make it official:)
youâre still a little bit of an awkward couple for the first month or so tho
not so much when itâs just you two now, but when youâre with friends and stuff bc pda can be weird and sometimes itâs hard to tell when it is and isnât appropriate
and also ushiâs not huge on pda
but he does love you (which he definitely announced as soon as he realized it) and thatâs what mattersâ€ïž
