hi, can i get a fluffy scenario of where yamaguchi is so nervous for a game because they're up against a really strong team (like itachiyama) and ukai said that he was putting him in when they needed him most and then he got so paranoid and nervous and just needs reassurance and then his s/o comforts him with cuddles and food?
omg this is my very first request 🥺. thank you for this cute one btw!
category: fic/scenario request
warnings: none, just fluff! :) (well i mean yamaguchi is a second year in this, if that’s something that bothers you, although it doesn't really affect anything.)

“see ya.”
“alright, bye tsukki!”
yamaguchi staggered the rest of the way home. he was a nervous wreck and he didn’t know what to do. he began to fiddle with the hem of his shirt and breathed slowly, trying his best to calm down.
“alright, once we get here, we’ll switch out hinata with yamaguchi so he can serve. we may also do this in the second set at this rotation. we will put him in to serve for hinata when we need him the most.” coach ukai said, pointing to the different rotations on the board.
he smiled confidently at yamaguchi. “i believe in you.”
yamaguchi did not believe in him. the grayish-green haired boy’s heart began racing. tomorrow, they were going to go to nationals, and they were up against the mighty itachiyama the very first match. of course hinata was just buzzing with excitement, but he was most certainly not. but as a second year, he wanted to prove himself as a worthy senpai, and not just a second year wimp.
oh my gosh, what if i mess up? what if i blow my serve and then i end the set? or what if my juniors gossip about how i’m a lame second year coward? or what if i just completely-
“yamaguchi!”
yamaguchi’s train of thought was cut off by y/n, his lover.
“oh, y/n. hi.”
“are you ok? you look a little tired.” y/n asked, a concerned look on their face.
“oh, don’t worry. don’t worry. i’m just thinking.” yamaguchi answered, plastering a smile on his face.
y/n looked at him doubtfully.
“upcoming game?”
“yeah.”
yamaguchi gave a little smile and sighed. y/n knew him so well.
“oh! hey, you wanna come to my place? my parents are going to be in tokyo for a week, so i’ve got the house to myself.” y/n offered cheerfully.
“o-oh! sure, sounds great, n/n.”
skip ahead. at y/n’s house.
“alright. you stay here. i’m going to go get some snacks.” y/n said as they walked off away from the living room, and into the kitchen.
yamaguchi sighed and nestled into the couch. it was seeped with y/n’s scent and he loved it. the boy smiled and closed his eyes, and he probably would have relaxed just then, had he not seen his volleyball shoes by the front door when he opened his eyes again.
he tried to shake it off but just couldn’t. he could feel his legs beginning to tremble and his lip started to quiver.
ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. it’s going to happen. its reality. oh my gosh what if i-
“i’m baaaaaack!” y/n sang as they walked in, holding a plate of warm, soft, floppy french fries- his favorite. (yes i know it’s a little peculiar but i mean the boy likes what he likes.)
he gave them a soft smile as y/n carefully sat down next to him and turned the tv on, putting on yamaguchi’s favorite movie.
y/n gave him a cute smile as they set the french fries and remote control on the coffee table in front of them.
yamaguchi’s eyes widened slightly when he felt a newfound warmth nestling into his waist.
he looked down to find that y/n was happily snuggling with him. eyes closed, mouth in a smile.
y/n felt as he let go of all the tenseness in his body. he wrapped his arms around them and pulled them closer.
he rested his chin on their head and smiled.
“thank you, y/n. i needed that.”
“of course!”
so, yamaguchi spent the night with one of his favorite people in the whole wide world. eating fries, cuddling, watching a movie, and just enjoying each other’s company.
(you came to cheer him on during the match and he scored 11 points.)
