Basics for this blog
Hey there, and welcome!
I’m sure you’re here because you’re expecting some awesome writings, which I will do my best to give. I’m a developing writer, and it’s my first tumblr blog, so this is like a..practice thing for me. Let’s just hop into it!
i am realizing that my hiatus has been very long-lived, my bad for that ! i have decided to take a break from writing xreaders, and instead focus on working on my characterxcharacter writings on ao3. i currently have a drabble work posted, but other than that i have two planned fics. iwaoi, and kyouhaba ! i am also looking for beta readers who are okay with working on WIPs. please contact me for more info on things like plots, interest, etc !
my inbox is open for those interested, and my account is tsummits on ao3 !
on that note, thank you to everyone who has followed and supported me up until now ! i plan on coming back here to write when i can !

Can someone please send me Haikyuu characters for kiss marry kick (same as kiss marry kill but with kicking 😂) just keep in mind I haven't watched the movies so I won't know the characters first introduced in those!
Tagging you guys because idk if anyone will actually participate so i figured u could ask for some from all of you XD
@sugarsymphonyy @honeypirate @elektrosonix @pressedlilacsandlilies @prydeofthexmen23 @tetsurouandushigirl @haikyuuhoo @writingssummit @luvbub
Also anyone else who sees this pls send me some! <3
here are some hard ones, ranging from insufferable characters (that we love anyways for some reason), to ones i feel like are hard to choose between :)
terushima, atsumu, and yahaba
and
koganegawa, aone, and bokuto
So fun fact, when I first saw Terushima he scared me and I STILL DONT KNOW WHY also im talking about when I saw a picture of him because I genuinely didn't even notice him the first time I saw him in the anime. Although I think I was half asleep during that episode or it was the one where the wifi kept messing up or both so um.. yeah. BUT I LOVE HIS TONGUE PIERCING NOW BECAUSE TWINSIES ahem.. anyways, 😂 I think id probably marry Atsumu, definitely kiss Terushima, and I suppose I'd kick poor yahaba.
Also I wish I didnt answer this so fast when I read it but id kiss Bokuto, marry Aone, and kick Koganegawa (id feel so bad omg)
Thank you for sending these! <3
all valid 😂 sending prayers to yahaba, hope that kick didn’t hurt too much- and poor kogane ;(
and anytime ! <3
yk what, i’m going to start doing a randomizer.
slap a bunch of haikyuu characters names on a wheel, then have another one with fic ideas. and then go crazy until i have another idea for an x reader

Basically all you do is add one thing you achieved today. It can be anything, from passing a test to getting out of bed.
I want anyone who adds anything to this (and also anyone who doesn’t) to know that I’m proud of you! You’re doing amazingly! Keep going and you’re going to achieve even more!
I’ll start. Today I managed to learn the riff for Riptide on guitar, it’s my first song I’m learning and hearing how it sounds, even when it’s not perfect, makes me so exited.

i’ve decided to end my cherry cola series prematurely. i’ve been thinking it over, and while i’d love to write a redemption series for terushima, i don’t feel comfortable doing it. i know a lot of people dislike him, and it’s come to my attention that this might not be something most people would want. so- I’m back to the drawing board, and finishing my world building for my other au!
if there are any specific characters you want to see, just lmk and i’ll take them into consideration!
sorry for the waiting period ! chapter 2 of cherry cola is in the works as of now, as are a few side posts to make the waiting worthwhile. thanks for sticking with me, i appreciate that a lot ! reminder that requests are open ! those will be priority right after cherry cola, and honestly give me a bit more motivation lol they’re also super fun, so feel free to send one :D

like any other day, you’re sitting at the counter, twisting the straw wrapper between your thumb and index finger while reading over something on your laptop. the homey diner is quiet today, which is unusual for the place; it’s not often that the place isn’t super busy. but you welcome the quiet with open arms, since you’re actually trying to focus for once. work has been piling up in class lately, and it was sort of hard to keep up with. but these things came with college, so..could you really complain?
you’re a regular at the diner, you stopped keeping track a while ago, considering that you go so often. it’s a comfy spot, many locals come as well. so why find a reason, aside from the fact that the place has a really good homemade cherry coke? aside from the busy atmosphere it usually held, it’s also nice to just come here and work on your papers, your research-
you slide over a few dollars as compensation, and not soon after, a glass slides back over to you in return. “hey, careful! i can’t afford to buy another computer, you know!” you frown in the direction where it came from.
“right, my bad.” your silver-haired server leans on his side of the counter, a cheeky grin on his face. you take a sip, looking straight back.
“why are you staring at me like that, bokuto-san?” you bite the straw. the man is always around and making jokes, smiling, and attempting to make you laugh- but the look he’s wearing is reserved for certain reasons, or future events. and that didn’t sit well with you.
“no reason, no reason.” he taps the wood with his knuckles, his gaze unfaltering. and to be honest, now it looks a bit foreboding. you don’t like it.
“i smell bullshit.” you point a finger at the cheerful man, and he raises his hands up in defense.
“i told you, it’s nothing, yeah? say, how long are you staying today?” you chose to ignore his blatant attempt at a topic change. you check the time on the clock, pursing your lips in thought. how long could you stay? you aren’t in any particular hurry, but that didn’t mean you didn’t have other things to do.
not that you’ll actually leave to do them.
“mm, probably a little longer. not too late though, i need to go home at some point.” you mutter, and then turn your attention back to the screen. you notice something inconsistent in your writing, and then rush to fix it. all you can hear is the clacking of the keyboard, and the faint sizzling and bangs in the kitchen.
his grin widens out of the corner of your eye. “the boss wants to ask you something.” you don’t even hesitate when you shake your head. nope. you were not up for that today. or ever, really.
“no. no way. i already told him before, and the time before that, the time before that- how many times do i need to say it?” you snap, and then you both hear a clash in the back.
“i’m okay!” you hear matsukawa, the cook, a moment after. you and bokuto share a quick look, before he pushed himself away from the counter.
“he better not have spilled shit again, or akaashi will get upset- hold that thought, l/n!” and before you could even reply, he sped towards the kitchen.
your life could be considered a boring one, if you took out the visits to the american-inspired restaurant. you didn’t hate it, really. it was simple, and that was fine. you went to classes, worked hard to earn your degree; you were majoring in mathematics, with a goal to get a job as an astronomer.
a big dream, one that you know is difficult- but even if it was going to be worthless, with the amount of years you plan on putting into school? you’ll be just fine, as long as there is somebody who’d hire you with your future creds. at the expense of enough freetime, but that was just the price to pay.
but you often spent as much time as humanly possible here, because it took some stress off of your shoulders. if you were going to spend most of your week studying and working, at least you could do it in a place you liked. which in turn led to you learning a lot about the establishment and people inside it. it’s fairly new, and the owner happened to be absent from the building a lot; but he worked hard. he’d apparently gone to college in the united states. hence the american styled food, theme, all of it.
it was strange compared to all of the other little shops around, but it was unique that way.
and of course, you all were decently close, but it’s not like you knew any of them prior to coming here. it was really just because you were there so much, that you were able to build friendships with the workers.
bokuto being the first and most rambunctious of them all. he was almost always behind the counter, chatting up the guests, which includes you very often. but that’s the fun part of it all, it makes your stays interesting.
“oi, what’s going on!” the office door suddenly swooshed open, followed by a string of curses in the kitchen. out came their manager, the resident pretty boy of the group, as the rest dubbed him. you couldn’t help but laugh quietly as he makes his way to the back. they were in for a scolding.
“akaashi, this isn’t what it looks like, we were just-”
“bokuto-san, this is the 3rd time this week..”
there’s more bickering for a few minutes, and you just went back to sipping at your drink. you’re bored now, with nobody to really talk to; and the noise from the kitchen was making it hard to concentrate suddenly.
the bell suddenly dings behind you, and you turn your head a little to get a better view-
only to groan under your breath.
“l/n-chan, you’re here! good, i wanted to ask..” you want to bang your head on the table. repeatedly.
“oikawa, i say this as respectfully as possible, but please, i don’t want to be set up right now. or ever. especially if it’s you doing it.”
“you’ll say yes this time, please just hear me out!” he begs, grabbing your shoulders. if this hadn’t been the thousandth time he’s said this, you would’ve laughed. but only a little. you attempt to shrug his hands off of you, but without success. his grip is a bit too strong.
oikawa, the manager, has designated himself as the godly matchmaker. apparently, he was able to help out some of his friends with their things. but that wasn’t anything to brag about, if he had no proof. much less dub himself with such a title.
you gave oikawa the stink eye, while he just stuck his lip out in a pout.
“get me another, and i’ll hear you out.” you gave into his puppy face. he knew just how to get you, the bastard. letting go of you finally, he takes the glass with a hum to the other side of the counter.
“perfect! okay, so..this time, he’s a piercer-” he looks up as he’s filling the cup with some grenadine syrup. he knows exactly how much you like in it at this point. you’re watching him, but when he mentions the piercings, you just stare at him with a blank look. “..don’t give me that look.” he scowls.
“my look isn’t hurting you.” you respond simply, and he rolls his eyes, but clears his throat to continue. he’s now moving on to the coke part.
“he’s a piercer, and oh holy lord, he has some himself-”
“oh my god.” this guy is ridiculous. “i don’t care about that, just keep going or i won’t listen anymore.”
“you hurt me a lot, why do i even try to set you up?” he grumbled. “anyways. mr. tongue piercing is pretty eager to date right now, i gave him a little description of you..and he’s interested!” you raise an eyebrow. “look, just one date! if he’s an ass, i’ll get iwa-chan to beat the shit out of him if it’s necessary.”
that’s comforting, to an extent. you didn’t know how you felt about a guy you barely knew coming down to his restaurant just to punch another random guy, but it’s the thought that counts, you guess. oikawa just wants you to be happy, and liven you up more- because as he says, you don’t do much besides study, and hang out at the diner. you don’t have anybody else to be around either, so that kind of just enforces the routine. not that you don’t have the opportunity to meet anybody, you just don’t want to.
and so he tries to make you.
“because we won’t be young for long!” a normal oikawa saying.
to be honest, the idea of seeing somebody is nice. you’ve thought about it before, but you honestly couldn’t care less right now- and the fact that you’re so busy with classes just makes it inconvenient. and the thought of unrooting the routine you’d gotten so accustomed to? it made you nervous. as much as you were lonely regarding the relationship aspect of your life, you didn’t know how you felt about being set up with a guy right now.
but, maybe you should at least try to be out there more. especially if it’ll get oikawa off your ass about it.
“maybe.” you finally say, which earns you a cheer, and a new glass of cherry coke.
there’s another crash.
“i guess that’s my cue to go straighten those three up, hm?~” he chuckles, but it doesn’t sound too amused. and then, oikawa joins them.
you take this as your time to depart too. you end up leaving a tip, and a half-finished glass behind you. oikawa better at least text you what he looks like, because he hadn’t even bothered to tell you anything besides the fact that he has a tongue piercing. and there’s no way you’ll totally agree without knowing a bit more than a piece of metal in somebody’s skin.
is that really attractive? you don’t want to think about it, in case you actually do think it is.
why is that even a thought in the first place? you scold yourself in your head, trying to not delve into it any more than you need to.
your phone dings, and you reach down to check who texted.

today, valentines day. a day when you could confess, and probably end up rejected. it’s happened before, to you, your friends- the past didn’t soothe your nerves in the slightest, how could they? the reminder of the work you put into the chocolates you made, the feeling of a broken heart after the let down..
but there was that sliver, that little pinch of hope you had left. maybe this year will be different from the rest. that’s all you could tell yourself now, the only thing you could say to comfort yourself.
your crush this time? a volleyball player. and not to mention, a friend of yours. that made this all the more nerve-wracking, because even if he did return your feelings? what then? he had practices, a life outside of having relationships.
and if he rejected?
you could lose an amazing friend.
he was a quiet, tall, and gentle guy. he didn’t look it, sure- people were always intimidated by him. but you didn’t understand. he was kind, and he cared a lot for his teammates. his stoic demeanor honestly added onto his charm.
you smile at the thought, crinkling the bag of chocolates between your hands. you were getting worried for nothing, he wouldn’t drop you as a friend- of course he wouldn’t. with a huffy sigh, you made your way to you classroom. maybe he’d be there? your heart was starting to race from the thought of giving them to him, and-
“ah, looks like somebody has something to give to someone.” you jumped a little, glancing up at the person who had talked to you. you looked away again, whistling.
“oh- hey, kenji.” your brother had chosen now to pop up, apparently. you’d been able to keep the chocolates secret from him for once this year, but your luck has decided to run out.
“who’s the poor sap this year?” he teased, reaching to grab the bag. you yank it away quickly, blushing. you couldn’t tell him it was one of his teammates, much less friends.
“someone.” you mutter, pursing your lips in a pout. he was going to keep prodding, that you knew for sure.
“you’re not going to tell your dear brother? what happened to little junior high y/n that would always tell me everything?” ah, stop with the slight confusion in your voice!
you huff. “you’ll know later, depending on how this goes.”
he whistled himself. “an upperclassmen, then? good luck.” that made you flinch. good luck..you would need it. a first year, confessing to an upperclassmen..
you continued to bicker slightly, before you were both shooed away by a teacher. sure, he could be annoying, but he was a good sibling. he only pried because he wanted to know who he’d have to protect you from- not that you needed protecting, or defending.
but the thought was what counted, and it made you feel safe.
but..when would you confess? should you even in the first place..? you looked at the bag in your hands, thinking hard. your confidence was slowly cracking. maybe you should just give up..
..next choice..
confess now ?
don’t confess ?

but that wouldn’t be the end of the world. there were other people, and other things. the only thing you could do to even have the slightest chance against all that was to just go for it!
so you waited.
you waited, and waited, and waited for the right time to go for it. but there weren’t any opportunities. none were showing up. it was like fate had decided to pull the worst on you.
you hadn’t seen him anywhere. you were slowly losing hope as the day went on like that. you had half a mind to ask your brother to help you out, even at the risk of him finding out who you liked.
that of course, worried you. he’d either never leave you alone about it, or never let it happen. his younger sibling dating his teammate? you could practically hear the passive aggressive hostility.
“curse you, kenji. so what if i like aone? it’s not hurting you.” you grumble.
“hm?” a hum sounded behind you, and you yelped. you didn’t think there was anybody around, it was a quiet hallway after all, who was-
“aone.” you squeaked, shrinking back a little when you saw your tall friend. you were trying not to blush, the squeak was already embarrassing enough. “did you happen to..hear that?”
he nodded after a moment, and you felt like passing away. now this was awkward, you weren’t ready for it to be like this.
“i’m so sorry, i didn’t think you’d hear me, you probably feel weird, it’ okay if you don’t feel the same, you know, i won’t judge, i’m a first year after all so-”
he held up a hand, waving it slowly. you shut up right away. he was motioning towards the bag in your hands now.
“oh, this..was supposed to be for you.”
“was?” his voice was gruff, and low. you messed with the bag, nodding hesitantly.
“well, it can be now of course- if you want them, that’s fine.”
“i do.” you didn’t have to be told twice. you handed him the bag, and he took it gently. he was blushing now, much to your amazement. aone blushing..? this was a first. but a welcome first.
yet another thing to add on to the list of things you liked about him.
“have you..never gotten chocolate on valentine’s day before..?” he shook his head slightly. you were puzzled.
“really? i’m surprised, you’re so likable, you know. i’m kind of honored to be the first one-” your smile was shaky with nerves, probably making you look a mess.
“be the last.” he muttered.
“huh?” you froze, taking a moment to let it sink in.
“erm..” he coughed. “be the last one to give them to me, too.”
yeah, time to pass away. sorry, aone. your heart could only take so much today.

you couldn’t do it. why did you think you could do it? it didn’t really matter much, did it? aone..
aone was nice. he was amazing, and honestly, the thought of losing that was enough to make you not want to do anything about how you felt. you’d rather have him as a friend, then as nothing at all.
were you being irrational? maybe. maybe he wouldn’t leave you, but it wouldn’t be the same after you said something. you shook your head. it would be fine. you’d just throw the chocolates away, and that would be that.
but as your hand hovered over the trash can, you hesitated. was that really what you’d do? your fingers tensed around the bag, like you couldn’t let it go. it was dumb, really. you just had to throw it away, it wasn’t hard.
you pulled your hand back. you couldn’t do it.
you’d just give the chocolates to your brother- he’d appreciate the sweets, and then they wouldn’t go to waste. he always liked the chocolate, after all. you remembered how he used to pester you in the past, always trying to steal some of the sweets from you before you had them wrapped up.
that day, you had found out from kenji after giving him the chocolates that aone had been confessed to after school; whether or not he said yes, was unknown to him, but the knowledge alone was enough for you.
whoever told him, had more guts than you did in the end.
whether or not he said yes, or no- you had still lost.
just another year down the drain.

“asahi!” you plop down into a chair in front of your tall friend, grinning. he jumps a little, but settles down once he sees it’s you there.
“ah, l/n- please, don’t jump in front of me like that.” he let out a sigh, tapping his thumbs on his desk. you nod.
“right, right- my bad!” you shake your head. stay focused! you came over to ask him about the note! “by any chance, do you recognize the handwriting here?” you slid over the slip of paper, and he took only one look at it before breaking into a sweat.
“um, no, i don’t think i do..”
you frowned. “you haven’t even looked inside.”
“what? oh- right, let me look.” he folded it open, reading the words carefully. he again looked nervous. was that..supposed to mean something? your suspicion grew. he knew something.
“yeah, definitely don’t know who wrote it. i don’t know anybody who writes like this, maybe one person, but i don’t know-”
“are you sure, asahi?” you poked one last time. he was being awfully..weird about it.
“yeah?” he muttered. it sounded more like a question. you didn’t quite believe him.
“please, asahi! this is killing me here, if you know anything- even a first letter!” you clasped you hands together in a plea, pouting at him.
he smiled nervously, sweating again. “maybe uh-” he shivered, feeling like there was a pair of eyes boring into his skull. he gulped, knowing who it was.
“all i can tell you is that he’s in the room! that he’ll stay after class, and his name starts with-” he shuddered again. the eyes.
“are you cold or something?” you were worried, he kept shivering every so often, it was strange.
he waved a hand, shaking his head. “no no, i’m fine. don’t worry about me, you should uh..go back and sit down, you know. class and all.”
you frowned, but nodded. he was right, you should go back to your seat. with the new information, your head was only filled with hypotheticals now.
and asahi was just glad to no longer be confronted like that. he had to keep it a secret.
by the time class had ended, the bell was leaving you breathless, and queasy. he was supposed to be staying behind. right now, the boy who left you a sweet note, the pretty flowers. it was strange for a guy to confess on today of all days, but it wasn’t like you were confessing to your own crush.
did you even have one? you didn’t know the answer to that one.
but you did.
“ahh, quiet down, heart.” you whined, holding your chest. as if that would do anything to settle it down.
“l/n?” you look over your shoulder. your eyes widen.
“suga?” you couldn’t believe it.
suga, your best friend..the one you definitely didn’t have feelings for, was in the classroom with you. alone, might you add.
that was a lie, you did like him. you can say it now, right? no more pushing it away, it was safe now. right?
“yeah, that’s me.” he chuckled, which made you laugh in return.
“i guess that’s right..so it’s you?” you gulped. he nodded.
“asahi almost ratted me out, too! i had this all planned, and then he kind of went off on that tangent- so i’m here instead. i kind of wanted to be somewhere more private, like the gym-”
you reached for his hand, reassuring him with your touch. he relaxed.
“it didn’t go as planned, but- i’m glad it happened. no matter where it is.”
“you accept?” he blinked.
“well, duh. of course i do.” you roll your eyes playfully at him. his cheeks were dusted pink, like yours as he let out a small laugh.
“i was worried there, you know. but- it worked out, didn’t it?” you nodded at his words.
you were happy it turned out this way. it felt real, if that made sense.
you guys were real.

“suga, is it..you?” the look in his eyes didn’t go unnoticed by you. you’ve known him long enough to see the flashes, the looks.
he scratched the back of his head, biting the inside of his cheek. “if i said it was?” you felt your heart clench, and diverted your gaze. if it was him..then your crush on your best friend wouldn’t end poorly.
“then i wouldn’t feel bad for thinking of you a lot.” you murmured.
“i can’t hold this from you, how unfair.” he laughed. “yes, l/n. it was me. i was going to tell you at the gym, you caught me off guard!” you grinned.
“sorry to ruin that for you. but you were a bit obvious right there, suga.”
your heart almost stopped right then and there, by the way suga grabbed your hands. he gave you an intense stare, one that made you squirm in your seat.
“koushi.”
“what?”
“call me koushi.”
that you would.
