Photographer Mattsun I have this huge headcanon that Matsukawa absolutely loves photography, his favorite thing in the world being candid shots of people in their daily lives. Such photos are hard to capture, because everybody instantly poses or plasters on a fake smile whenever they see a camera pointed at them, but he's mastered being able to get photos without his friends noticing. - he almost always has his camera with him. Whether in school, in practice, at home, or walking around town. He always makes sure to have it on hand in case of a great opportunity. - He never really told anybody about his passion. He alway felt as though people would think it was weird, or stupid. The other boys on the team only learned about it when they visited his house, and saw countless photos plastered all over his walls. - They accepted him - of course they did. Why wouldn't they? - and asked to see some of his own photos. He didn't put his own up on his wall because he didn't like others being able to see it so freely. It felt like they were invading his brain. - After some much needed convincing, he reached under his bed and pulled out a stack of photo albums, each supposedly organized by year. - the other third years were shocked to see how many amazing photos he had taken, and even more surprised when they began to see photos of themselves. Their team alone took up almost two books. - after the four of them started dating during college, he began taking even more photos of them. He'd never been as passionate about volleyball as Iwaizumi and Oikawa, so no longer playing gave him the time he needed. - He was at the coffee shop Iwaizumi worked at - Visiting as usual - when he got side tracked, and ended up dropping one of his folders. He didn't realize he'd done so, and he'd ended up leaving it behind when he went to his own job. - later in the day, a customer went up to Iwaizumi with the folder and asked about it. He recognized it as Matsukawa's instantly, and explained that it belonged to his boyfriend. The customer introduced themselves as the owner of a local gallery, showcasing artists and photographers in the area. He gave Iwaizumi his number for the gallery, and said that Matsukawa should call him if he ever wants to sell his photos. - Of course, as soon as his next break came, Iwaizumi called Issei, telling him what happened. When the four of them were home in the apartment that night, they all assured him that he should call the gallery owner. - Eventually he did so, and was told that the gallery wanted to buy his photos and put them up in a show. He was shocked, as nobody had offered to buy his photos before. Eventually, he made a deal with the gallery owner, who supposedly wanted photos from the folder he had seen in the coffee shop. - He went through the folder to see what he would be willing to sell, and embarrassedly realized that said folder was full of nothing more than photos of him and his boyfriends. - Oikawa and Hanamaki in their Pajamas, curled up together on the couch watching a movie. - Iwaizumi and Hanamaki working together to make dinner, more or less. Hanamaki had his arms around Iwaizumi's waist with his chin resting on his shoulder as he watched him cut vegetables. - Oikawa mid serve, the back of his body towards the camera, with the light shining in front of him. - Iwaizumi leaning against Mastukawa's shoulder, half asleep. His eyes drooped shut, and his usually furrowed eyebrows were relaxed, as he looked up at Matsukawa with a lazy smile. - Hanamaki standing at his easel, a paint brush in hand as he stared intently at whatever he was painting. His cheek had a smear of blue paint on it, which he had forgotten about until the next morning. - for Matsukawa, a lot of these photos were really personal; glimpses into his life with his boyfriend; parts of his life that he wanted nobody else to see. - He eventually decided to sell the few photos that he had copies of. One of Oikawa lying on Hanamakis chest, smiling up at him as he runs his hands through his unnaturally pink hair. Another was of Iwaizumi, pressing a soft kiss to Oikawas injured knee, as he helps him remove his brace. The third was Oikawa, Hanamaki, and Iwaizumi lying together on their shared bed. Both Iwaizumi and Hanamaki were asleep, but Oikawas eyes were sligtly open, and he was staring at Matsukawa with pure love and adoration in his eyes, as if he didn't realize the camera existed. - The photos were hard for him - emotionally - to sell. He felt as if he was selling secret pieces of his relationship; pieces that even his older sisters (another headcanon) had never even seen. With the others encouragement, he managed it. - He was a bit shocks when he received quite a bit more money than he thought he would for the photos. He hadn't expected so much, based on the initial price they had told him. The first day of the gallery presenting his photos, he found out why he had gotten so much. - his section had been titled 'Matsukawa Issei - Everlasting Love' and featured more than just the photos he had chosen to sell. There were more that contained him; ones that he thought had been thrown in his desk drawer and forgotten about; he had never liked seeing pictures of himself. There was also photos from when the four of them were younger. Some in highschool, and even middle school. It showed them playing volleyball together, watching movies together, even studying together. - there was at least twenty extra photos. Some were blown up to be larger than others, and some remained the same size as they had been in his folders. - he was just about to turn and ask the gallery owner how he'd gotten the extra photos, when he noticed that the other three were smiling at him. He then realized that they had probably gone through his photos, and looked for ones that they thought should've been in the show, and sent them to the owner. He wanted to feel angry about it, but he couldn't. He knew they had meant to do it to make him happy, so he accepted it. - as the show went on, people continuously came up to them. Some said that their relationship was wrong; that it was a sin, or it was cheating or being greedy and selfish. Others said they loved the way he presented each of his boyfriends differently, showing the way he pictures them in his head. By the end of the show, he had three more galleries wanting to purchase his photos. Somebody please take my phone away from me. I should not be allowed to write things like this. I have even more headcanons about photographer Mattsun, but I'm not going to add anymore right now. Please send me requests in my ask box! I'm no an idea generating robot, ya know. 🤗
