“Tapas.” He raises a brow. “Is that what we’re calling it now?”

tobio kageyama x reader. scenario. summary: a shopping trip with kageyama spurs a debate. you take revenge. genre: fluff length: 1.2k

Kageyama glares at the bag of candies you present to him.

“No,” he says instantly.

“Why?” 

Instantly he drops the can of soda he was handing you, his face aghast. You catch it, your reflexes accustomed to Asahi’s particular brand of clumsiness. 

“I—!” He swallows roughly. “Y-yeah, I guess they are.”

He rubs the back of his neck self-consciously. It’s true, he’s a big guy, and every thing about him is as well. But still, to have you point it out so brazenly...!

You entwine your free hand with his, a reassuring gesture, and he inhales deeply. Okay. Now’s not the time to get lost in his thoughts. He can do this. He just has to focus.

While the rumors surrounding him and his bad boy image can’t be farther from the truth,  he admits wanting to be seem a bit tougher around you. After all, he’s your boyfriend! He should be strong and dependable! He can’t always be showing you such a lame side of him. 

He takes another deep breath. Right, now is the time to—

“A-all the better to—“ He catches sight of your encouraging face, and falters. “H-hold your hand with,” he chokes out, his voice strangled.

You laugh, and the sound is a symphony plucking at his heart strings, careening him towards the grand finale. Despite the erratic pulse of his heart, he manages to smile back at you. Right. You never think anything he does is lame. He just has to have more confidence in himself. And how he can not? When he has you by his side, always tugging him along to another opportunity or anchoring him to where he needs to be. 

“H-hey babe—“

“Your hands aren’t just big, though, Asahi. They’re also warm.”

His cheeks redden again. “It’s nice,” you continue. “When I’m with you... I feel like I can conquer anything.” 

“Y-yeah?” 

You flash him a sheepish look. “Ah—sorry. You were saying something before I cut you off.”

He curls his fingers around yours, encouraged by the way his hand encompasses yours. Maybe his team isn’t the only one who needs him. The realization that you rely on him just as much as he does you gives him the strength he needs to make that final push. 

“I’ll keep being that person for you. No matter what. I want you to be able to count on me.”

You grin. “And you’re such a cheeseball too.” 

“H-Hey, I’m tryna be serious here!”

You’ve been leaning towards him, challenging him, and this time he responds, angling his body towards you. He draws your hand up towards his chest, capturing your attention with the intensity of his gaze.

“Let me be the kind of man you can admire.” 

Your eyes dart from his face to your linked hands, then back. “What if I told you... you already are?”

His brown eyes are dark with determination. He leans down, his lips close enough to ghost yours, when you hear a loud clank. The two of you search for the source of the sound. Asahi’s face pales when he sees his open soda can toppled over, the fizzy liquid spilling over the contents of his backpack. 

“Aw man!” 

“Wha—”

He glances up swiftly, his mouth falling open. “Ah, wait a minute—that wasn’t there earlier!” 

He meets your gaze, and it’s hard to mistake the flirtatious glint in your eyes for anything but. “Did you... did you put that there?”

“If I did, what would you do about it?” you offer. You say it with the air of a suggestion, but for Hinata, it means more. 

His expression wavers. In the middle of the hallway, far from the hustle and bustle of the party, Hinata has a decision to make. He’s always been one to rely on his faith in others. But maybe now it’s time for him to trust in himself and you and in the moment. 

He steps forward, and there’s only an inch or two between your lips. A gap easy enough to fill. But someone appears, gesturing towards the bathroom door behind you two, and there’s an awkward shuffle, Hinata muttering apologies. When you’re facing each other again though, he leaps for it.  

His lips are a few centimeters off, and brush against the corner of your lips. You open your eyes, and Hinata’s are scrunched together tightly, his cheeks flushed. It’s much like the face he used to make when he first started playing volleyball, as if he can’t trust his own movements to follow the desires of his heart.  

The kiss ends after a beat, and there’s only a gap of a few seconds before you’re returning the move. This time his eyes blink open in surprise. He takes note of the feel of your lips, soft against his, the way they coax a reaction out of him. His eyes slip shut as allows himself to sink into the moment, the tremors and anticipation and excitement washing over him. 

But the two of you break apart when the person emerges from the bathroom. You share a guilty look at each other, and it’s not till his retreating back has disappeared before you refocus your attention on Hinata—only to find his gaze already trained on you.

His hand wraps around your wrist. His eyes are bright, shining with possibilities. “What does it mean?”

You blink in confusion, and he persists. “That you put the mistletoe there.”

You purse your lips, sending him a smirk. “Merry Christmas? Santa came early this year.”

He breaks into his own grin. He points confidently over your heads, redirecting your gaze to the empty ceiling.

“You put the mistletoe over there, but there’s not one above us now.”

When he meets your gaze, it’s with the assuredness of someone who knows the answer to their own unspoken question. “You caught me.” 

“So…” he says, his expression growing serious, just as it does in the midst of a big game. “It’s not just luck, or coincidence.”

“That means we don’t need another mistletoe to do this,” he says, capturing your lips once more. 

kei tsukishima x reader. drabble. song: cake by the ocean. warning: heavily implied not sfw.

“you’re a real life fantasy, you’re a real life fantasy~”

“[name].” kei groans into what feels like the void. his eyes roll in annoyance on their own, at this rate; he’s convinced it’s become a habit around you, for better or for worse.

“but you’re moving so carefully, let’s start living dangerously…” you draw closer, having to stand on your tiptoes just to position yourself mere inches from his flushed ear.

an eyebrow quirks. “…what?”

“talk to me, baby!”

kei nearly jumps at your suddenly scream, but you're quick to silence his protests with an index finger placed atop his lips. your lips curl. “i’m going blind from this sweet, sweet craving, whoa~”

“…for the last time, that song isn’t about cake—“ you flick his nose, happy when it shuts him right up. his glare seems to deepen at that, but his display of animosity doesn’t deter you in the slightest. 

leaning closer, your lips all but brush against his ear lobe.

he’s getting dizzy.

“let’s lose our minds and go fucking-crazy~” you breathe lust, and he wants to ravish it right then. but you’re such a tease, letting your hand trail down his torso before leaving his hips altogether. he goes to speak, to protest against his better judgement, but you’re already skipping away, poised to leave the room before he locks you in and jumps you—

but not before turning back with a wink.

“i know~”

bartender! tetsuro kuroo x reader. drabble. warning: implied not sfw.

expert fingers shuffle the deck of cards faster than your eyes could follow. you’re biting your lip in thinly-veiled excitement at this point, enamored by the way his fingers make the cards dance at his whim. a tiny well of envy flits into your stomach, and you catch yourself wondering; how would those fingers feel stroking your face, your body, your—

“pick two cards, sweetheart.” your indecent thoughts must’ve shown on your face, because the bartender flashed you a grin that may as well have smote you right there. “or did i lose you already?” he snickers.

“n-no, of course not. you’re just rather... skilled with your hands, forgive me for being intrigued.” you manage a wobbly smile, your throat thick with embarrassment. paying his bemused gaze no mind, you make quick with with plucking two cards from his fingers.

stray bangs are blown from his face as if its become an hourly ritual, and he straightens his back with a brisk push from the counter. he shuffles the cards again, adding a wink between the display—for good measure—and gestures for you to put the two cards back. you do so...

and in the blink of an eye, his face is a hair’s width away.

you hardly have time—or space—to gasp.

“darling, in my eyes, you—”, long fingers pull a card from behind your ear, “are a queen."

you’re too busy with those gorgeous eyes to question the mystery of it all.

he twirls the card around those damned fingers, and you’re certain he heard you inhale this time.

“and it seems you’ve stolen my heart.”

the card flips: queen of hearts.

“so, sugar...” cold hands seize your chin, sending an electrifying restlessness down your neck, and his free hand makes little effort pulling the second card from the dip in your cleavage. along with the newly-found queen, he holds the second card right next to his cocky face.

the king of hearts.

“do me the pleasure of making me your king.”

“What?” He looks up from the stretch he’s doing, flashing you a grin. “Aw, yeah! Comes with the territory! You gotta take some hits to keep the game going!”

He pauses howevever when he spots the mini first-aid kit in your hands. “O-oh! You want to... H-hey, it’s okay!” He waves his hands in front of him. “You don’t have to.”

“I want to, though!” you say earnestly.

“O-oh, I mean—sure...” You kneel down between his spread legs before he can get another word in, and he watches intently as you begin rummaging for materials in the clear plastic box. Once you find the ointment and uncap it, dabbing some onto your finger, he hisses sharply at the sensation of you applying it to a fresh cut. You glance at him.

“Sorry, I just never use this stuff.” He scratches his head. “I don’t even really treat ‘em to be honest... I think being all roughed up makes me look cooler!” he boasts.

If cool is the aesthetic he’s going for, it definitely holds up—his legs are dotted with bruises and scrapes, lightning strikes of scars. You’re unaware of the way pink is creeping across his cheeks at the soft feel of your fingers gliding across his skin—or how he gulps audibly, stilling his legs from fidgeting the closer you get to him—it’s a concentrated effort. He’s never noticed before, but this close, the way your brow knits together and your tongue darts out between your teeth in your focus is really cute, and he wants to tell you somehow, his lips parting, but how does he say that without sounding weird—

“All done!” Instantly, he’s missing the feel of your hands on him, and shakes off his thoughts, straightening his posture. The ointment feels cool and sticky on his skin as it dries, but he can’t help but think he wouldn’t mind dealing with it if he had your attention on him for just a little longer... “I didn’t put bandages because you want to look cool, right? But at least they won’t get infected now!”

You get him so well sometimes, without question, Nishinoya has to wonder if these are all signs pointing to a leap he has to make.

And he’s definitely not missing this chance. Not now, or ever.

“Hey, thanks! I gotta repay the favor somehow.” As he gets to his feet, he reaches out his hand to help you up—and you take it. Score! That was smooth. Real smooth. One point to him. An idea’s forming in his head, a perfect save for this situation. One that could turn the whole game around.

“Do you like buns? Meat buns, I mean, not—er, yeah. There’s this place the guys and I go after practice. I’d love to buy you one! And maybe....” He rubs the back of his neck. The final push. “Maybe we can hang out at the mall on the weekend. How’s that sound?”

As soon as he sees your bright expression, he knows he’s scored the point.

Koushi lifted his head from your shoulder, tired eyes blinking in surprise at your sudden request.

Practice had run later than usual, and when he finally made it home for your date night, it was clear that he was too worn out to go back out to eat, so you had suggested a night in instead. You had led him to the couch, loading up The Princess Bride before taking your spot next to him and allowing him to gather you in his arms.

About halfway through, though, his breathing had started to even out, and once his head had fallen onto your shoulder, you knew he was almost a goner.

He studied you for a brief moment, seeing your cheeks puffed out dramatically in faux petulance, and his entire face softened into nothing short of pure infatuation, his heart-stopping smile making an appearance. "A kiss, hm?" He asked, pulling you in closer, gently nuzzling his nose against yours as his voice softened.

yuu nishinoya x reader. drabble.

Yuu Nishinoya, despite his stature, is an unstoppable force of nature. There’s nothing that can stand in his way or prevent him from being—and he quotes—the best damn boyfriend ever.

Not even your cold hands.

He notices you rubbing them together several times, attempting to create heat with the friction, before breathing warmth into them. A distant memory of you mentioning how easily your hands and feet fall prey to the chill of winter surfaces in his mind.

Before he can think, he’s reaching for your hands, slapping them against his cheeks. He pauses, his mouth slightly parted, eyes widening.

“God, you’re cold!” He exclaims, his gaze alight. The flush on his cheeks might be attributed to the cold weather, but it also might be the embarrassment that washes through him at being this close to you.

You laugh, the sound coming out choppy due to your teeth chattering.

Then Nishinoya—in what he is totally remembering as the coolest boyfriend thing he’s ever done—yanks off his scarf that you nagged at him to wear, wrapping it around your neck. He clasps your hands in his own, bringing them towards his mouth to blow hot puffs of air into them. In the past, Nishinoya felt insecure about how small and unmanly his hands were, like his stature. But now, as long as they’re big enough to shield the frigid chill from leeching the last bits of warmth from your fingers... He rubs his hands over yours, catching your eye.

“We’re gonna have to bring a heater with us whenever we’re out!” he jokes, grinning at you.

“Or maybe.... maybe you could warm me up, Noya,” you murmur, gazing up at him through your lashes.

He nearly loses it then and there. “Oh? Right here? Right now?!” He looks around your surroundings quickly, his voice climbing higher in pitch. “I mean... o-okay babe—if you say so!”

“Not that!” You laugh. “With your hands, your arms—with yourself Noya. You’re so warm~”

Now it’s his turn to be flustered. He glances to the side, pursing his lips.

“You know, I’d prefer to be hot though! Warm kinda sounds too cute for me.”

“You’re smoking hot, babe,” you reassure him, squeezing his hands. “Rolling thunders cause flash fires, after all.”

He whips his head back to you, his mouth agape. “You’re so right—”

“Noya,” you say, struggling to contain your laughter. His spirits are always so easy to lift. “You’re still holding my hand.”

“O-oh!” He relinquishes his hold, but holds onto one of your hands, tugging you towards the direction of the bustling street. “Let’s... let’s grab some coffee or tea or something, okay? That’ll warm you up!” he says, regaining some of his exuberance.

You giggle, following along. It often seems like you’ll follow Nishinoya wherever he decides to go, regardless of what obstacles come between you two.

Nevermind that, at the coffee shop, the barista asks if your kid brother wants anything else to accompany his hot chocolate.

“Coffee stunts your growth!” he protests, waving around his cup fiercely.

tooru oikawa glances up from his little reverie, his eyes unaccustomed to looking at anything besides the frothing pitcher in his hand. your question strikes him as random and out-of-place; then again, he likes it like that.

life’s too dreary without a few surprises and a bit of fun here and there.

his lips twitch into a signature smile, and you swear a flower’s bloomed right in front of you. tilting his head, he’s quick to inquire back just to press your buttons. “oya?~ is that my future boy/girlfriend asking?”

your mouth twitches—you’re tempted to say ‘yes’, but you don’t wanna come of as too...easy. not right now. not to him.

‘just asking for a friend, s’all.’ you titter back and take a sip of your frappe, grateful you ordered a grande for once. the large cup is just enough to hide your face from tooru’s prying eyes for a few seconds.

“liar~” he hums in a sing-song and lets his eyes leave yours. this order wouldn’t make itself, sadly. still, his eyes don’t waste any opportunity to flicker back to yours. “i hit the nail on the head didn’t i, sugar?”

“don’t be stupid, bakakawa.” you awkwardly clear your throat, taking note of the customer approaching the counter for the drink. “is it so hard to believe i’m asking for someone else? you’re insanely popular around school, y’know.”

“aha, i am aren’t i?” he chuckles, and you curse yourself for feeding into his ego. “then how about this?” he flashes the customer a haughty smile and nods toward the table they came from, urging them to leave as quickly as they came. you’re not sure why you were surprised when they listened without complaint.

tooru leans over the counter and positions his lips right by your ear. he swears he feels the heat rolling from your cheek, but he doesn’t want to tease you about it just yet.
