okay let's be real do we REALLY think lev is in charge of his own social media accounts bc i feel like that's a dumpster fire waiting to happen

i'm going to say yes because it's funny as hell

he tweets things like "lol i worked with [insert older veteran actor here] today i had no idea he was such an asshole" and gets frantic phone calls from the pr team like three seconds after posting

his instagram is also full of like. really blurry casual pics and just doesn't look professionally curated at all but the fans love him for it

i'm actually super curious as to whether he gets typecasted a lot and if so i'd love to know what it is

i want to say goofy comic relief side character?? so when he gets selected for a serious drama role nobody is expecting him to blow it out of the water but he does!!!!!!

also another thing lev does that gives his pr team a heart attack is when he posts anything vaguely related to his love life. which funnily enough are the only quality non-shitposts he does himself

like you've got the aesthetic silhouettes against a wall, the hands intertwined on a candlelit table, the vague tweets of "so lucky to wake up next to you. wish it would never end <3" and everyone's going WILD trying to figure out who it is

(and, well, nobody is going to notice shibayama yuuki liking the posts amidst all the other pro volleyball players who do, right?)

shirabu's got a rep in med school for having the worst fucking bedside manner of all time

well not really i think he's like. the kind where fellow/older colleagues and such judge him for it and they think that he could stand to be a LITTLE bit nicer but if he works with kids or whatever i bet the kids would actually really like him.

he's dry and straightforward and calm and takes them seriously and treats them like adults. the only thing he does to baby them is dumb down the medical jargon into an explanation they can actually understand

ugh shirabu actually makes me really soft for what an asshole he is

oh but if you're a bitch ass bastard for no reason he'll try to be as snarky as he can be without like. getting reported to hr or whatever

sorry i know this probably isn't how medical professionalism works irl once again i just think it'd be really funny

also can i just say that i think it's the funniest fucking thing that komi became an actor. like where the hell did THAT come from

i feel like he got thrust into doing a role for a class play during cultural festival season and got hooked on it probably? because literally when else would he have the time to get into/practice that kind of shit

that's probably a fun fact he drops during a magazine interview or something LMAAAAO

"yeah volleyball practice took up most of my time, and i never really thought about doing anything else. but then things changed in my third year of high school when i got cast for cinderella . . ."

speaking of fukurodani. yukie and kaori my beloveds

i skipped out on them during my managers post which i regret deeply and dearly so here they are!!

full disclaimer i don't know how sports promoters actually work i'm assuming they promote whatever sports games they are assigned instead of just sticking to one sport only? which means that whenever kaorie gets her hands on something that isn't volleyball she gets a dozen texts from bokuto moaning about betrayal and treason and all that

when kaori gets with someone she meets through work (so someone on a pro sports team) the rest of fukurodani are like "okay but he's a BASEBALL PLAYER" as if being a baseball player is the most atrocious thing a person could be

kaori's like "guys come ON i told him all of you were cool!" and everyone's like "now why in the world would you tell him that"

yukie has a decently popular cooking channel that is loved not for her yummy recipes or her aesthetic filming but because none of her kitchenware matches

she just collects whatever she likes + a bunch of shit that's been gifted to her and while it should make her kitchen look cluttered it's all just very cozy and lived-in

like. all her pots and pans are different colors and themes. no pair of chopsticks are the same. she has a ladle shaped like a dinosaur and a teapot glazed with magnolias on the side

her recipes DO slap tho she and osamu collab a lot

If someone had told Lev not to go to where he was going and that he was going to be broken up with in the worst way possible, he’d think you were lying. Lev wouldn’t think that his boyfriend, Yaku Morisuke, was capable of breaking his gentle heart like it was glass.

From Yaku-san❤️:

Let’s meet at our usual spot.

To Yaku-san❤️:

Okay! I’ll see you there! Love you.

From Yaku-san❤️:

Alright, see you there Lev.

Lev didn't think much of it until now. He’s been sitting on a rock, their usual spot, for two hours now. In the rain like a dog for their owner. It felt like a thousand hours. Every minute passing by, he kept coming up with something in his head. He sat there, waiting and waiting.

In the distance, Yaku Morisuke watched as his, now ex boyfriend, sat in the rain all wet. He tsked his tongue and gave him a scowl.

“You’re so crazy. You’re all wet. I don’t want you anymore.” He mumbled to himself before sending the dreaded text to Haiba Lev.

From Yaku-san❤️:

You can head home now. I won’t be able to make it. By the way, I’m breaking up with you.

Lev had seen the message and Yaku watched him lift his phone to read it. But Lev, he didn’t dare move from there. He sat in the rain for much longer causing him to get more sick and not be in school for the next two weeks.

As he was away, the Libero didn’t care if he looked like he didn’t care about Lev’s whereabouts. People would ask him where the tall middle blocker was but he would answer with a simple, “I don’t know and I don’t care. We aren’t even dating.” Everyone was very concerned for the middle blocker, even Kenma who rarely shows any emotion.

When he did return, people had asked him what happened and he smiled and replied with a simple, “I was sick. But I’m okay now!” Yaku was not a fan of his cheery attitude. He wanted to see Lev broken. Lev had quickly picked up on perfecting his receives just to not be with Yaku anymore. He would only speak with the Libero when necessary.

But that was years ago. Haiba Lev was now a model and a famous one alongside his sister. Yaku had seen their billboard all over Japan and now, his heart was the one aching. He regretted the pain he caused the tall boy. All he wished for now was to be back with him. He missed all the times they spent together. Whether it was over lunch talking about their day and what they would do later to the days where it was just practicing volleyball together.

“Lev? Is that you?” Yaku said when he spotted the man before him. Tall and handsome as ever in line at the restaurant they would go to after school.

“Yaku-san? Hey, how have you been? I see you’re the best Libero in all of Japan now.” Replied Lev.

“A-Ah, yeah, I am. I’m doing good. How have you been?” He asked.

“I’m good. I’m in my own modeling career with my sister.” Lev explained and Yaku smiled.

“I’m happy for you! Look, I’ve been meaning to tell you this but-” Yaku began before someone had cut him off.

“Lev honey, have you ordered yet?” Shibayama asked.

“No not yet dear. Did you want to take my spot in line and order for us? You know I’m not the best with memory.”

“Of course! Oh, Yaku senpai! I’m sorry I didn’t see you there. It’s nice to see you.” Shibayama said and smiled.

“Nice to see you too, Shibayama. Are you guys..?” He began and Lev began to blush.

“Oh Lev you still blush over this? Yes, married actually. We’ve been married for a couple years now.” Shibayama explained and Yaku’s heart was crushed into a million pieces.

“O-Oh, congratulations. I wish you well. I-I have to go now. Uh, it was nice seeing both of you.” He said and left quickly.

As he stepped outside, he couldn’t help but look into the restaurant at his ex lover with his new lover. Is this what Lev felt? Was this the pain he made Lev go through when they broke up? Why does it hurt so much? He didn’t even notice the tears running down his face until he saw his reflection.

He ran away quickly before anyone could see him. When Yaku made it back home, he dropped to his knees and cried. He felt as if he was in physical pain from seeing them together. He sobbed and sobbed until he was out of tears and his throat hurt. Once he had calmed down, he grabbed a glass of water and sighed.

“This is what you get, Yaku. You hurt him on purpose and he hurts you even if he doesn’t realize it. I wish I told him sooner instead of years later. I’m happy for you Lev. I’m glad you found someone who will treat you right for the rest of your life. I’ll always love you, Haiba Lev.”

So I’m not one for angst without a fluff ending. And after I had watched this video: Link

I had gotten the inspiration to write this small one shot. It’s kinda a part fluff part angst ending. Lev has the fluff ending while Yaku is the angst part. It hurting writing this I’m not going to lie. If you guys have anymore things you’d like me to write, feel free to send in a request! I’m open to options and maybe I’ll write here more.

Shibayama: Yes?
