#foreigner!reader

You wanted to keep the fact that the two of you were talking on the down low

Especially because you know what suga was up to

He was not as slick as he thought he was

But you still appreciated it

It wasn’t hard to keep up the act especially cause bb boy is so easily flustered

Whenever you were brought up in conversation, he blushed profusely

Like redder than pantone 18-1664 red 

That’s very red

Daichi wanted to take him to the hospital again

But can you blame the ace?

He still vividly remembered your lips on his cheek and wondered what they would feel like on his own lips

It made him so so embarrassed and it was adorable

But you are a queen that believes in boundaries and consent so you always ask if hes okay with certain things 

You want to go at his pace cause you have a sneaking suspicion that this is first time almost being in a relationship

Yet suga has not caught on yet

But kiyoko did 

What a goddess i love her so much

No one but coach, takeda, yachi, and her have your phone number

So when she sees asahi in your contact list one day when her phone died and she asked to borrow it she was like 👀 okay i see you girl

But she kept her mouth shut cause thats not her business

And she sees how happy asahi has been after the seijoh practice match and she just wants her boys to be happy 

You explained your happiness as joy from getting that stupid brace off

Suga fussed over you a bit, asking over and over again if oikawa made it worse

It was sweet then kinda annoying but you let him do it cause he has to mom someone 

The first years missed the attention just a bit lmao

Not tsukki he thanked god he was left alone

Salty bb boy let us love you

ANYWAYS

Back to kiyoko

You and her made a bet once you knew that she knew

How long would it take for the team to catch on?

She said a month

You said two weeks

It was much much longer than that lmaooooo

They are fucking clueless

So clueless

Like cher horowitz has nothing on this murder of crows

Fun fact that movie is older than me

You even contemplated walking up to asahi in the middle of practice and kissing him

But you knew that’d make him so uncomfortable so of course you didn’t

So it was a good two and a half months after the seijoh match and it was time for summer training camp

Im not quite sure about the timeline here, so pls just go with it thanks 

So 

Here you are being all gorgeous

stop arguing w me youre fucking beautiful

Trying not to melt like the wicked witch of the west in the heat

You and asahi decided to make it official

And you were so so so happy

But you still wanted to keep it on the down low cause it was just… easier

But you did have a chat before summer training camp about what he wanted you to do when you got hit on

Let's be honest my love its gonna happen

You're amazing and these boys WISH they had a chance w you

But the second you fell on your ass in front of him, you knew

You knew he was the man for you

Now he didn’t get jealous easily

But you were one to banter and laugh along with people you talk to 

And he knows a lot of the people attending the training camp interpret that as flirting, especially because asahi is acquainted with most of them

So he asked that keep it strictly platonic with firm and clear boundaries that won’t disrespect the budding relationship

You were all for it

And similarly, he asked about your boundaries 

And you basically said the same

Platonic, firm, clear boundaries

And honestly, with that anxiety out of the way, you were excited

Then you got off the bus

You and asahi sat together as always and you had fallen asleep holding hands

Again, it was incredible that no one had caught on yet

Not even suga!!!!

But he was busy so you just shrugged

Like it wasn’t a secret

But you weren’t shouting it on the rooftops

If someone asked, you would answer honestly

But the boys are dramatic and it could make them lose focus of their goals and that was the last thing you wanted for them

So you waited

BACK TO THE PROGRAM OMG

Sorry i go on tangents lololol

As i was saying, you got off the bus and you were greeted by nekoma 

Kuroo, more specifically 

He smirked down at you as you stretched. “I definitely haven’t met you before. I wouldn’t forget such a pretty face.”

You kept a straight face and noticed Asahi tense a bit behind you. “We definitely haven’t met. I wouldn’t forget such a tragic haircut.”

The boys snicker behind you

Even some of nekoma laugh

Kuroo guffawed while you walked passed him paying him no mind

Asahi doesn't know if he should apologize or laugh

But this sets the tone for the rest of camp

You always shut down all flirting attempts with grace and cheek

But then some douche from a random school does not take no for an answer 

Hes all 

“Cmon girl, i can show you a real good time…”

“Let me smack that ass like a volleyball.”

Other gross comments that men make towards a clearly uninterested party minding their own fucking business

Thats when you snap

Cause people like douche nozzle over here dont see women and femme presenting folks as people, they see us as prizes

It is an unfortunate reality 

“I have a boyfriend.” Is what you have been saying on repeat

But hes all 

“He ain’t here,” and “He doesn’t have to find out.”

But Asahi is there

And tall

And intimidating on the court

So when Karasuno is up against this fucker’s team, the gloves come off

Every single spike is aimed at him 

Karasuno wins

But this does not stop the clown

He has a audacity to ask for a kiss as consolation 

He leans in

Now the team is prepared to beat the shit out of this fucker 

Noya and Tanaka specifically

But Daichi is warming up too

But everyone is shocked at what happens next

before you break his nose, Asahi grabs this man by the back of his jersey and  d r a g s  him to his coach and says 

“Your player has been sexually harassing our manager. Fix him.” 

He tosses him down and returns to you

You smile and nod proudly as he hugs you and ask if you're okay

“I’m always okay when you’re here.”

Awww youre so cute it makes me sick

Anyways he's feeling a bit possessive so you peck each other on the lips

The team is flabbergasted

Never has asahi azumane been so bold 

Suga is a proud mom

Daichi is conflicted between shaming the pda and patting his buddy on the back

Hinata is :D cause his senpais are so cute together

Tsuki and Kags are over it 

Kiyoko is like “about time”

Yachi is blushing like mad cause pda 

Yams is too

Noya and tanaka are mourning their chances

Then noya slaps asahi on the back and is like “way to go, you snagged a hottie”

And asahi is now a blushing puddle

a far cry from the badass he was seconds ago

when they find out that you’ve been talking for almost nine weeks and made it official already everyone is like ???

How??? Did we??? Miss this??????????

They want all the juicy details but then coach is like “Get back to work >:(“ 

The rest of camp is people teasing asahi about how whipped he is and you being slightly more publicly affectionate 

Although we do keep boundaries in mind my friends

So all in all

Asahi is whipped

Operation gag needed very little outside influence cause you know what you want

Karasuno is a team of bamfs 

You are very happy you made the first move

@millenialfanfictionaddiction

I wholeheartedly believe that this man knows how to give gifts

Look at me and tell me he wouldn’t know exactly what to give everyone he loves

That being said, he doesn’t know what to get you

He likes you so much and with the cultural difference, he doesn’t want to offend you/make you uncomfy or do literally anything that would ruin his chances with you

Hell he wouldn’t want to ruin the friendship either because you’re one of the only people not to judge him off his looks alone

So now he’s in an awkward stage 

When is he not in an awkward stage lets be real

Anyways our lovely and chaotic sugawara notices this immediately 

He devises a plan

Thus creating Operation Get the Ace a Girl, or Operation GAG

Okay maybe the name could use some work

But the plan is going to work, yeah?

Well… 

Let me explain

There were three phases 

Phase one: they spend time together

Phase two: they confess to one another

Phase three: they get together and make beautiful babies

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

Except you aren’t in the same year which means you aren't in the same classes

And it appeared that you were very busy after school

And they don’t know what you like 

…

Okay this is gonna be harder than he thought

But never fear, karsuno’s goddess Kiyoko has a loophole 

“It may be a good idea to recruit another manager to keep Hitoka-chan from getting overwhelmed next year.” 

Kiyoko you brilliant woman queen goddess

Now suga has another plan to devise 

Commence Operation Recruit the Foreigner or Operation RF for short

Much better than operation gag if i do say so myself 

But for this to work, he needs help

Help from a certain ray of sunshine 

From some light stalking asking around, he found out that you enjoyed tutoring elementary and middle school aged kids in your spare time

So he recruits Hinata, the babiest baby to ever baby ever

He doesnt tell hinata the whole truth, just that he should ask the foreign second year for help in his foreign language class and if things go well, he should see if she was interested in becoming their third manager

Hinata, you sweet summer child you

Baby boy didn’t even consider that his senpai could have ulterior motive for having another manager

But alas, he asks

And how can you say no??????? He hits you with 🥺 when asking for help

Seriously only a monster could say no

And so it begins!

He explains that it would be best to study near the gym so he can make it to practice on time

You shrug, honestly not caring all too much

But then he invites you to stay and watch because he wants his cute senpai’s praise and attention and he wants to show off a bit, sweet tangerine has a small puppy crush 

ANYWAYS

You say yes, because as we’ve established, you genuinely enjoy playing and watching volleyball

You two are there first and he’s talking so so so fast and showing you everything with no regard to whether you know anything about volleyball or not

Your heart melts because AH HE'S SO EXCITED

Like hinata is such a cute lil guy and he wants to share the things that make him happy because it could make them happy toooooooo 

As you can see, i am platonically whipped for precious #10

And so are you, Y/N, I’m happy we have something in common

OKAY BACK TO THE PROGRAM

So the next people to come are obviously the captain and the coach

You feel a bit bad for crashing practice so you explain that you were helping Hinata with his course work and he asked you to stay

Daichi smells something fishy 

He knows suga’s schemes when he sees them

But he agrees and so does coach ukai on the stipulation that you aren’t a distraction

Thats a lot ask lmao these boys have two moods: volleyball and girls 

I mean… same

But this can go one of two ways:

You distract everyone

You motivate everyone to play their best as to impress the new girl

spoilers its the second one

Suga thought it was going to take a minute for the plan to really kick in, but he was pleasantly surprised to see you at practice

He didn’t tell asahi you were there

He was gonna wait cause hes a bastard that loves drama

Again, same

So everyone shows up and practice is about to begin

Hinata is an oblivious bb that is somehow unaware of the absolute chaos that is about to ensue when he excitedly announced that he asked the pretty second year to watch practice 

Deadass Hinata is like 

“I GOT Y/N-SENPAI TO WATCH US TODAY :D”

How he said :D idk but he did and it was precious

Tanaka and Noya get whiplash from how hard they turn their heads to where you, Yachi, and Kiyoko are standing

You smile and wave at them while you promise not to be a bother

“Oh, Y/N-san, you’ll never be a bother to us!” Suga reassures while elbowing asahi 

Asahi.exe has stopped working

He was conflicted

He wanted to show off because you like volleyball

But he doesn’t want to fuck up and make a fool of himself

At this point coach ukai was getting impatient and practice starts

You chill with yachi and kiyoko

Yachi asks you if you were a model and felt like throwing herself into the sun when you said no

You talk about your old school and how lucky the boys were to have managers as nice as them

Kiyoko offhandedly mentioned something about needing another manager for next year when she leaves so Yachi isn’t alone wink wink nudge nudge

You say you’ll think about it 

Kiyoko is pleased

Yachi is shocked at how slick Kiyoko is

Lets be real here, kiyoko knows

She knows 

What does she know? 

Everything

She knows about suga’s plan and she wanted in even if she didn’t say anything 

All she needed was a few minutes after hinata wooed you with his precious boy tendencies and she had it in the bag

But would this be a haikyuu headcanon set without someone getting hit in the face with a volleyball? 

No 

No it would not

Let the headshots begin

This time, it is you

Sorry girl

But asahi doesn’t hit you!

I’m pretty sure he would drop dead if he did tbh

Instead its tanaka 

Sorry bro, i’ll say some nice things at your funeral

So tanaka is up to serve and at the same time, you’re walking over to grab something

The ball goes out of bounds because tanaka wanted to show off and he hit it with enough force to dent metal

But instead of metal, it was the back of your head

ouch

You fall forward, hitting your head again and land on your wrist as you try to catch yourself

Double ouch

The gym erupts into chaos

Yachi is sobbing 

Yamaguchi is shell shocked

Suckyshima is laughing

Kiyoko is getting the first aid kit

Daichi and suga are running to you 

Kageyama is stunned

Hinata is D:

Noya is maiming Tanaka

Tanaka is being maimed by Noya

And asahi

Poor sweet baby asahi is furious

But his body won’t move

He just witnessed the attempted murder of his girlfriend fiance wife mother of his children and pets crush friend!!

It takes him a good five minutes to come out of the shock

Now back to you, my friend

So i don’t know any language other than english 

I know i know im working on it 

But i can imagine that getting hit in the head twice can disorient someone to the point of not being able to process a non-native language for a good few minutes

So when they try to ask if you’re okay and you don’t immediately respond with words they’re concerned

But what’s even more concerning is the look you give them

You look at them like they grew two heads

Everything becomes even more chaotic

Tsukishima actually grows slightly concerned

Hinata is actively crying 

Kageyama is yelling that he shouldn't be crying because he was not the one that was hurt

Yamaguchi was yelling for someone to call an ambulance

Asahi is still frozen

Tanaka and Noya are praying lmao

Kiyoko is back with the first aid kit

Daichi and Suga panic as well

They think you’ve forgotten where you are and who you are

Coach Ukai and Takeda, the reasonable adults deescalate the situation like pros

Coach Ukai tells everyone to give you space 

Takeda aska series of questions to which you’re like 

😃?????

So with his limited knowledge of your native language, he asks if you’re okay and then you nod

Okay everyone breathe a sigh of relief

He helps you up and walks you to the nurse and to get paperwork for the incident 

You can’t tell me there won’t be any paperwork for this lmao

After you leave, they try to continue on with practice

Key word being try

Everyone is very worried so it ends early 

Shocking, i know

Anyways, they all feel awful about what happened

So when the next day comes and you aren’t in class, everyone assumes you’re dead

Practice turns into a eulogy 

Rest in peace my love

Jk you aren’t dead, just navigating an entirely different healthcare system and that takes some time

To make it worse, no one has your contact info and it’s a friday 

So they have to go the entire weekend believing they killed you

But then you show up on Monday with a wrist brace

You didn’t break it, just sprained it

Tanaka omg he literally falls to the ground and begs for forgiveness

He thought you would be seething

You were upset at first, but you had gotten over it 

You laugh it off

He is  s h o o k

it was music to his ears

The third years weren’t lying, you really were super duper chill

When he stands up, you punch his shoulder lightly with your good hand and complement his serves

Again, he is  s h o o k

But it was break time and the break was over so you parted ways

Noya deadass had to drag him to his classroom because he didn’t want to leave

Hinata, the sunshine baby boy he is, brought you snacks and cried because he felt so bad 

Poor baby was blaming himself because he invited you to watch

Pls hug him tightly and give him all the head pats  

You do lol

You give him a small hug after getting permission and ask if he needs help

You keep helping him, but you don’t watch practices 

So Operation Recruit the Foreigner fails

P S Y C H 

It doesn’t 

You actually missed volleyball a lot more than you thought, so you stayed behind one day, wrist brace and all, to talk to kiyoko 

She was happy and happily helped you talk to the coach and takeda

They triple checked you were sure after what happened last time

You were like 

Fuck yeah mate lets go

Operation Recruit the Foreigner was a success

So let's say you’re a second year and a foreigner

That must be rough girl, i do not envy you

You move to the miyagi prefecture for whatever reason and begin at karasuno in the next few weeks

Your japanese is passable, but not amazing

So is your cultural awareness

You definitely do your best, but definitely make some social faux pas like mixing up honorifics or forgetting them all together, bowing too much or not enough, among other things

So you already have a reputation of clueless foreigner preceding you before you even begin school

Once again, my love, i do not envy you

Some people gave you dirty looks and silently judged you

Others thought you were adorable and a little dumb

And others thought it was amazing that you decided to come to karasuno in the first place

It was a bit hard to find things on common, especially because of the mild language barrier

You had one thing in common with a certain crow though

Asahi could never get away from the label “delinquent” 

Even though he was a living breathing teddy bear and a gentle giant

Most people took one look at him and ran

You had heard about the terrifying third year that was allegedly running a drug empire under the guise of it being a volleyball team, how he beat up an entire year of boys for not bowing to him, and how he coerced them to be drug runners afterwards

Honestly, you didn’t know whether to write them off or believe them because of how many people said similar things about him

Either way, you ignored it and went about your life in the new country

That was until you got lost on campus one day

Like hopelessly lost

I’m sure someone put out a BOLO for the foreigner

You were looking for some sort of indication of where you were and then ran straight into someone’s chest

You did fall on your ass

And you wanted to laugh and cry at the same time because while it was fucking hilarious, you just wanted to find your way to wherever it is that you’re going

Now asahi had heard the rumors about you too

He had heard that you were a loud, crass, obnoxious foreigner that was nothing but disrespectful

But he deals with the volleyball team loud, crass, and obnoxious people all the time

However his experience didn’t take away from his crippling social anxiety

So here he was, walking and lot in thought when BAM a cute girl slams into his chest and falls down

Asahi isnt dumb, he knows what people think and this looks

He immediately trips over himself apologizing and asking if you’re okay 

He feels absolutely awful

You didn’t laugh or cry, but you did feel your face warm up at the cute boy in front of you

You reassure him that you’re fine

He helps you pick up your things because again, sweet baby boy is riddled with guilt

But he sees how lost you look and asks if you need help

Totally not because he wants to keep talking to you, why would you think that, he’s trying to be a good citizen 

He helps you get to where you’re going and you thank him profusely and apologize for running into him

You touch his arm lightly out of habit

His face catches on fire

Redder than red

No color corrector is fixing that

Asahi.exe has stopped working 

*windows shutdown noise*

ANYWAYS

You realize your mistake and then apologize again, this time bowing slightly

He didn’t speak 

He’s lagging 

He’s still reeling from the cute foreigner that A) wasn’t scared for her life and B) talked to him semi-openly and C) TOUCHED HIS ARM

After a minute, he tries to stutter a quiet “it’s okay”

Key word tried

He’s interrupted by one of your fellow second years dragging you away from him

She says something along the lines of “don’t you know how dangerous he is???” and “he’ll try to get you to sell substances too”

You're so confused

You were pretty sure you saw an eye mask meant for sleeping that had a bear design on it in his bag when you first ran into him

He's literally a big baby

The gentlest giant

You look back at where he’s still standing and then back at the other second year

“Are you sure????”

They profusely nod

You look at asahi and then at her once again 

“Really? Like 10,000% sure?”

The conversation is put to end by more students coming into the area

Over the next couple weeks, you would see the so-called drug lord around campus and you made it a point to smile and give a friendly wave

It always made him blush and his heart race

Seriously, suga and daichi almost took him to the nurse one day cause it looked like he was gonna pass out

Again, rumors travel fast so it was only a matter of time before tanaka and noya found out about the fearless second year foreigner chick that not only lived to tell the tale of how the ruthless azumane kidnapped her 

Yes this is what it had become 

No it doesn't make sense seeing as you ran into him and accepted the help

Tanaka and noya, ever the opportunists, sought you out for interrogation

Deadass, you were getting ready to go when school was over and ambushed you

You had seen them with asahi a couple times but that was it

The two had a whole ass speech prepared, but forgot it when they came face to face with you

They had seen you from afar, but never up close

And you my dear Y/N, are a sight to behold

Yes you are

Stop arguing with me

What i say goes mkay

They immediately forget everything and just kinda stare

And you”re like ????? can i help you?

And when they hear your accent, they are shocked even further

Stunned

Astonished

dumb

Dumbfounded

Their flabbers are gasted

So you just side step and keep walking

When they finally realize you left, they immediately run to find you

But they stood there for way too fucking long and you were nowhere to be found

So they do the next best thing: hunt down the ace for interrogation

It wasn’t fair, okay?

Why did he get the pretty foreigner??????

So that practice, noya and tanaka are late 

Surprise, surprise said no one

Dadchi and sugamama are none too pleased, neither is the coach or Takeda

Instead of excuses, the two chaotic second years scream

“ASAHI WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US SHE WAS AN ANGEL SENT FROM THE HEAVENS”

I’m pretty sure all of the prefecture heard them

Asahi.exe has stopped working part two electric boogaloo

At any mention of the cute second year waving instead of running in fear, he lost all functioning brain cells

The rest of the team is confused

Hinata tilts his head like a puppy

Kageyama is probably yelling at him

Suga gets his popcorn ready

Daichi is still mad at the second years

Yachi is scared because of the yelling poor thing

Kiyoko is over it, but still mildly curious

Tsukki is very over it with no curiosity 

Yams is confused as fuck

Asahi tries and fails to give an explanation

Everyone is bombarding him with questions 

“She? As in a girl?”

“Asahi interacts with girls?”

“Did you scare her off?”

“Girl? What girl?!”

“Azumane finally got a girlfriend!”

Daichi yells at everyone and practice goes on

For some reason, you end up in the third years hallway

Lets say you were delivering a paper to another staff member during lunch

And once again, you were lost

Maybe start carrying a compass and a map everywhere you go my love

And once again, you run into asahi

Once again, you fall

Once again, asahi is riddled with guilt 

BUT THIS TIME Daichi and Suga see the whole thing

They thought you would be scared or get mad, but instead you blessed their ears with a laugh

“This has got to stop happening,” You joke

He apologizes profusely again while helping you up

Suga does not waste this chance to tease the both of you

“Is this the cute girl that Tanaka and Nishinoya were screaming about? I can see why now.”

Asahi.exe has stopped working part three

Daichi rolls his eyes, but definitely stores this interaction in the back of his mind to use later

“Aren’t you a second year? Why are you all the way over here?”

“Yeah, I am. One of the teachers asked me to bring this over for another faculty member, but I got lost. Again.” 

“Again?” Suga asks

You nod and laugh, not taking the situation too seriously “Ahaa, yeah. I think they ask me to deliver things as some sort of practical joke at this point.”

“Well Asahi would be happy to show you.” Daichi says

“Oh are you sure? I don’t want to take up any of your time!”

Suga waves off your concern and comes up with a quick lie “Daichi and I were just about to have a captains-only meeting. Asahi isn’t a captain, so would have kicked him out anyways,” 

“Suga is right, we do have some pretty serious things to discuss.”

To you, the mischievous glint in the two captains’ eyes were nothing but them being friendly, but to asahi, it spelled certain death

He stood, still blushing as the two walked off

It takes a minute, but he shows you to the faculty member

And you get to talk to him a bit more

You ask about his friends and the meeting between captains

He can't apologize enough for the behavior of his underclassmen

Most people would be weirded out by it, reasonably so

But then you shock him

“No worries! Actually, I think it's sweet that they care about you,”

So now asahi is taking stock

This is what you have going for you my dear Y/N:

You arent scared of him or his looks

You can laugh off situations that mortify him

You think his friends are sweet

You’re fucking stunning

There was one more thing that he wanted to know

“So I heard you play volleyball?”

Mind blown

You were also psychic

“Uh, yeah, I have for years.”

“That's awesome! I love volleyball. I used to play all the time at my old school, I even managed before I moved.”

That's it

You were perfect

Wedding? Planned

Names of future pets? Picked

Crops? Watered

Skin? Cleared

Hotel? Trivago

Deadass, mans plans your wedding at the spot

PLS HE WOULD GET SO EXCITED

But he would be so shy about it tooooo ugh i love this man so much

What seemed like an innocuous comment to you made up his mind

He was gonna ask you out
