Haikyuu!! Ships Summary

My absolute favourite thing with all the ship summaries or descriptions lists from Haikyuu!! that I’ve seen is that they are all cute or intense but then it gets to Ushiten and it’s like “Tendou fights the waves at the beach for touching his man’s ass while Ushijima doesn’t understand what’s happening and just wants a towel” and I couldn’t be happier

Semi: How do you always get up at four in the morning so easily without an alarm clock?

Ushijima: Just because I do not own an alarm clock does not mean I wake up without assistance.

Semi: So, what, you have an alarm set on your phone?

Ushijima: Of course not. Tendou always breaks into my room at four in the morning to tell me about the manga he was reading, so I always get up to listen to what he has to say. That is how I start my day.

Semi: How about I tell him to stop because you both should be sleeping.

Ushijima: Absolutely not. He is adorable and always sets my day on the right track. Besides, how else would I get up in the morning for school?

Semi: An alarm-

Ushijima: No. Tendou waking me up is the only way.

- Ushijima and Tendou laying on the ground with the tops of their heads touching -

Ushijima: Why do you insist we lay like this?

Tendou: To test out a theory of mine about mind reading. Okay, what am I thinking about?

Ushijima: I’m not sure. What are you thinking about?

Tendou: No, try to read my mind! I’ll give you a hint: it’s a little abnormal.

Ushijima: Are you thinking about yourself and how abnormally perfect you are?

Tendou, blushing: W-what??

Ushijima: Oh, should I be more specific? How about when you get really happy and you smile so brightly that my heart skips a beat? 

Tendou: Wh-

Ushijima: Or when you get excited about a manga chapter you read and you come running to me to tell me about it in the cutest way possible? 

Tendou: No, hang on-

Ushijima: Or perhaps you are thinking about how beautiful you look when you’re not trying to impress anyone?

Tendou, choking up: ...I was thinking about a spork but o-okay.

YES PLEASE!!

"Is there someone special in your life?" The reporter asked chirpily, not really expecting an answer from the infamously emotionally detached Ushijima Wakatoshi sitting across from her. She was already scribbling an 'X' next to the question on her sheet, fitting in with the series of crosses and one-word answers she had accumulated throughout the entire interview.

But a look she couldn't describe crossed Ushijima's face as he considered the question.

"Yes there is." He replies simply.

The reporter stills, her pen stuck in her hand. It was still quiet in the room but Ushijima could suddenly feel more eyes staring at him than before. He shifted in his seat.

"Oh? What's her name?"

Ushijima looks directly at the camera facing him, imagining his special someone watching him back excitedly, and it almost makes him smile. He relaxes slightly in his chair.

"His name is Tendou Satori."

And all Hell breaks loose.

----

Or, the one in which Tendou tries to explain to Ushijima that a "special someone" means the person you're in a romantic relationship with. And not,,, you know,,, your best friend.

Ushijima does not understand.

guys i did it i did the thing

Ushijima frowned at the two men crowding the redhead, faces leering. That just wouldn’t do. He walked over to the bar, not quite sure exactly how to approach the situation, but letting his instincts guide him as much as they could in their inexperience. He stepped up to the back of the barstool and slid a hand onto the redhead’s shoulder to give him a gentle squeeze. “I apologize for being late, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.” / In which Atsumu assumes Ushijima is straight, Ushijima assumes that Tendou is his date, and Tendou assumes the big handsome man who comes to his rescue pretending to be his date is just helping get the drunk idiots away from him.

hear me out

Ushijima goes to the bar for a blind date set up by Atsumu, and assumes the pretty red-head he sees is his date. Tendou, who was a bit sad about being stood up and then annoyed by the strangers giving him unwanted attention, assumes that the big handsome man who comes to his rescue claiming to be his date is just pretending so that the drunk idiots will get out of his hair.

shenanigans ensue so that ushijima thinks its a normal date and tendou thinks this charming sweet himbo is just making pleasant conversation

should i write this? i feel like i should write this

“We’re best friends” Tendou says as he smiles and takes a seat on Ushijima’s bunk. He’s brought some manga and some snacks and it’s the first time Ushijima hasn't felt lonely in his entire life.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says when one of the older starters asks if they’re friends one day at practice. The starting line has just been picked and Ushijima likes knowing Tendou will be right there with him as they take on the competition.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says as they cool down after the loss against Karasuno. Ushijima will continue volleyball and Tendou will not, but this is the promise that their diverging paths will not change their relationship.  

“We’re best friends” Tendou says at the airport. He’s still cheerful even if his eyes are tearing up. Ushijima knows he has to go to France to chase his dream, but wishes more than anything that he could stay.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says over the phone after he tells Ushijima what he needs to do to succeed. Ushijima trusts Tendou’s  thoughts as if they were his own.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says when they bring Ushijima on as a guest for his documentary. He says it too, because they are and because he’s so proud of Tendou, but lately it’s starting to feel a bit different.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says in reassurance after Ushijima kisses him and then wonders out loud if they’ll be able to temporarily handle a long distance relationship. It makes him feel warm and sticky inside and he wonders if Tendou's hands on his face are making him melt like chocolate.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says after being asked by a reporter about the engagement announcement. He’s right. They are best friends first, teammates, supporters, lovers, now fiancés.

“We’re best friends” Tendou says drowsily, and Ushijima just smiles and holds his husband closer to him as they both drift off to sleep.

somehow, it’s always tendo’s fault (inspired by the tweet below)

Look, it's two of the toughest middle blockers at nationals... 💦

New Chapter of ‘An Anthem to Time’ is out - sorry for the long wait, I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 6 - A little bit of both

Summary: The pace picks up and the puzzle of the past begins to unfold.

Hanamaki rarely thinks about what he does, it has always been like that. He is simply an instinct kind of guy.

What he says, what he does, it all follows the impulse his guts give him. Even in court, he never starts a trial with a plan. He likes to see how the mood swings and then just go with the flow, steer his boat into the current that will get him closest to his goals.

That is how he has managed to earn an outstanding reputation as a lawyer, how he never disappoints and never gets disappointed. If you don’t have a fix goal, you can’t miss it!

Especially in his youth, people have criticized him for lacking both spine and motivation and to be totally honest: They were right.

Takahiro isn’t ambitious, he isn’t high-flying and he certainly isn’t pretentious. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be sharp, intelligent or determined.

In fact, he is very determined right now!

“Come on”, he grunts out, putting all his bodyweight into the push.

“This tickles”, Iwaizumi smirks, that arrogant ashole.

“Fu.. fuck you, Hajime”

“Are you even trying?”

Hanamaki chooses not to spit into his face and rather concentrate on breathing.

“This is ridiculous”, he can’t help but whine all but a minute later.

“God, I am getting so horny”, Oikawa has the nerve to bite down on his knuckles. Suga gracefully decides to put his hand over their friends eyes.

“Then think of something gross”, he informs him.

“Like what?”

“Dead animals? How your bleach rails smell in the morning?”, Issei offers and gives his pan an expert swing. The onions fizzle and Hanamaki has to gag.

“Please just shut up”, he whimpers, the muscles in his biceps about to burst. He is going to leave one hell of a gorry splatter on Issei’s couch.

“Then hurry and get this over with, Wok is almost done”, his partner calls over.

“With tuna?”, Iwaizumi turns his head towards the kitchen.

“Yes”

“Fuck yeah”, and with his face brightening up like a six year old’s, who has just been given permission to have unlimited candy for an entire week, Iwaizumi slams his hand into the table, like Hanamaki, putting all his effort into fending him off, isn’t even there and declares: “I’m starving!”

Takahiro groans and collapses over his weak and sore arm.

Yes, he follows his instinct but that by no means equals being calm and structured, like some people assume. No, most of the times it gets him into stupid, messy and fucking glorious situations. Like not being able to beat his friend at armwrestling in over 16 years and still not being able to give it up.
