Yaku Morisuke (Haikyuu!!): With the nine-inch difference between you both, you make him feel pretty tall; and it’s not-so-secret that he revels in having a small and adorable girlfriend. His confidence and straightforwardness nicely balances your more demure demeanor and you can bet that he won’t ever hesitate to speak up on your behalf. While he’d be concerned about your anxiety, he’s glad that you let yourself cry. Better to let those feelings out than to bottle them up inside. 

He’s not a big fan of being teased, but he’ll put up with it if it’s from you. And if you’re teasing someone else, it’s likely that he’ll join you. Overall, he’d try to encourage you to have more confidence from time to time and would find your ‘fangirl’ moments to be quite adorable; though it does make him quite jealous from time to time.

Inuoka Sou (Haikyuu!!): He’s drawn to your meek nature, though at first it’s just pure curiosity on his part. Why is he always noticing this small and cute girl everywhere? Has she been watching him play? Should he try talking to her? Honestly, he wouldn’t even realize how awkward you actually are (since it’s not like he’s exactly ‘normal’ by social standards either), and given that he’s full of sunshine and cheer, it wouldn’t take long for him to get you to open up a bit. 

He’d probably initially respond with minor panicking/confusion whenever your nerves kick in or if you start crying, but he’d quickly put in his best efforts to cheer you up. He loves it when you laugh, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he tried to make it a goal to get you to laugh at least once every day. 

Fortunately for you, he’s pretty upfront about his feelings and whatnot so you hardly ever have to guess about things when it comes to him. That gives you one less thing to worry about in the end. Being the pretty hyperactive guy he is, it’s not hard for him to find something else to occupy himself with whenever you’re gaming by yourself, but you can bet that he’ll get curious whenever you start fangirling. He also loves seeing you get excited, and in his case, excitement is pretty contagious (though he’ll wonder why he doesn’t feel as fired up whenever you start talking about other boys).

Yamamoto Takeshi (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!): His laid-back and friendly attitude makes it pretty hard not to get along with him. He’d be pretty patient with you and will usually reassure you kindly whenever you’re feeling down or nervous. It’s nearly impossible to stay feeling down around this guy. He gets a bit difficult to understand whenever he’s excited and he can certainly be more than a little oblivious sometimes, but his heart is in the right place and he’d definitely try to be good to you. 

Since he’s such a nice guy and all, it’s likely he’ll become friends with your friends as well. He’d definitely like seeing the more open and interactive side of you and might even tease you about it from time to time. He also doesn’t mind you fangirling over anime or video games since he thinks you’re pretty cute when you do. So long as you aren’t just leaving him on the side-bench all the time, he'd be happy.

 TYL!Irie Shouichi (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!): He’s not exactly the most confident or social guy around so he would definitely relate with you. Especially since you both have issues with anxiety. The two of you could help each other overcome your inner demons. He’s a pretty smart guy, but it’d be good for him to loosen up sometimes (especially since he makes a bad habit out of overworking himself from time to time), and seeing as how you’re not exactly the type to put pressure on others (plus you’re pretty small and it’d be hard to consider you intimidating) as well as the fact that you can relate to and tease him, you’d be a pretty good candidate. 

The fact that you’re both a bit similar in the personality department would subconsciously make him want to step up from time to time. Not just to impress you (though let’s be honest, he’s tried and failed a few times in that regard), but also because he wouldn’t want more of his pessimism and anxiety to rub off on you. He’d realize it after hearing you laugh for the first time (I’m almost certain it was at his expense); that he wants you to just keep laughing. 

Kenma pondered for a few moments. Kuroo certainly had a good point, so Kenma just sighted and Kuroo's face instantly brightened.

"Oh and by the way, don't forget to bring some present," Kuroo said before leaving. Kenma nodded but said nothing.

The whole Nekoma team gathered in their club room on a day before Christmas Eve and everyone put their presents under the Christmas tree. After everyone was done, Kuroo spoke again.

"And now you go one after one and pick any random present. The first present you take is yours," he explained walking around the club room while talking. "I will be the first one."

Kuroo took one present from under the Christmas tree. Yaku went right after him. Others shrugged but also followed. Eventually everyone grabbed something for themselves and sat down. Lev was the most excited out of them all and was ready rip out his present at any moment but Kuroo chided him.

"Now, let's have patience, my children."

"Who are you calling children?! I'm few months older than you!" Yaku began yelling which prompted Kai to speak up, too.

"Let's just unwrap our presents one at the time and see what each of us got."

Everyone agreed and Lev was granted permission to unwrap his present. It was a small package, so Lev unwrapped it very quickly. When he saw what he got, his eyes began sparkling.

"IT'S SO CUTE!!!"

The present Lev got turned out to be a lucky cat statue.

Fukunaga quietly muttered "You're welcome" and Lev literally lunged himself at his smaller senpai saying "thank you" non-stop. Lev let go of Fukunaga only when Yaku kicked him. Kuroo laughed at the whole thing.

Inuoka was sitting next to Lev, so it was decided that he will be the next one to open his present. It turned out to be "Pokemon Sun".

"Thank you very much, Kenma-san!" Inuoka said happily. "I was actually saving up for it!"

Kenma nodded and gave a small smile.

"You are welcome."

Yaku was next. He unwrapped his present and then just stared not sure how to feel. He got a knit pair of socks. The socks were nice and most likely warm but way too big for him.

"How do you like them, Yaku-san?" Lev asked enthusiastically. "These were knit by my grandma! She knit me several pairs, so I decided to give one to someone. Ah, but you are probably too small to wear them, Yaku-san."

At first Yaku listened to Lev's babbling rather calmly but then Lev insulted his height, so Yaku quickly rose on his feet and kicked Lev again.

Shibayama was next. He carefully unwrapped his present. But poor boy got disappointed as soon as he his present. It was some girls fashion magazine.

"Ahh they all are so cute!" Yamamoto, who was sitting right next to Shibayama, said dreamily.

Shibayama sighed but said nothing. Clearly he and Yamamoto had different ideas on what is a good Christmas present.

Yamamoto was next. Pretty much like Lev, he got a statue, however his was a small shiba inu statue.

Inuoka nervously scratched his cheek.

"Umm, it was on discount and since I didn't know who will get it, I thought it would be nice."

"It's nice, thanks!" Yamamoto assured his teammate who felt great relief after hearing these words.

It was Kai's turn next. His present was wrapped rather neatly, so Kai took care while unwrapping it. And he was not disappointed. Kai got a new pair of knee pads. Sure, they were clearly from a cheaper brand but still a very good present. Shibayama timidly raised is hand.

"Umm, these are from me. The store I frequent had some Christmas discounts, so I thought they will be useful for anyone."

Kai smiled warmly at the young libero.

"Thank you, Shibayama. That's very thoughtful of you."

Shibayama clearly feeling embarrassed that he was praised by his senpai averted his eyes to the ground and quietly muttered "you're welcome".

Finally it was Kuroo's turn. He grinned happily and quickly unwrapped his present. His smile disappeared when he saw what was inside the package.

"What is this?" he asked loudly, sounding clearly annoyed.

"A present," answered Yaku, also sounding annoyed.

The present in question was a CD with Christmas songs plus some Christmas lights.

"You call that a present?!" Kuroo rose on his feet.

"Got a problem with that?! It's Christmas, so my present fits!" Yaku did the same.

While Kuroo and Yaku were bickering over the present Yaku gave Kuroo, Kenma and Fukunaga opened their presents. Kenma found out that he got several taiyaki meanwhile Fukunaga ended up with a knit scarf and a hat.

"Well, I guess it's clear who bought what..." Kenma said and seeing that Kuroo and Yaku were still arguing, Kenma and Shibayama took one taiyaki each and retreated from the circle to find some peace and quiet.

After finally getting resolved his argument with Yaku, Kuroo suggested everyone sing Jingle Bells but Lev and Inuoka were the only ones willing to sing so the plan was cancelled. The team stayed in the club for a little longer before eventually going home.

"Kuro," said Kenma on the way home.

"What is it?"

"Your present kinda sucks, too," Kenma said and went inside his house leaving stunned Kuroo outside.
