♡Anime: Haikyuu♡

"Guys ain't shit," you mumble out while staggering down the street at two in the morning. You feel a vibration in your back pocket and hurriedly pull out your phone before scowling at the Uber eats notification.

Despite feeling rage welling up inside you, the realization that he truly doesn't care about you makes tears well up in your eyes. Only a short while ago you were snuggled up with Terushima after sharing some intense physical intimacy. However for him it's just that, physical.

When the two of you started everything was great, you didn't want anything serious and the sex was incredible. However, as should've been expected, the two of you began to spend more time together as friends even without the benefits sometimes.

Naturally, it felt as if he was also growing to like you considering how attentive he became to you and your needs. After you learnt what makes the other tick the sex grew even more incredible and your bond as friends did as well. Until...

"Dude, we talked about this already. We're just fuck buddies, no offence or anything, I love hanging out with you but I just don't want to date right now," those words coming from Terushima carved a hole in your heart that you immediately tried to plaster with alcohol.

You had wanted him to text you after you abruptly left his house with some random excuse, the least he could do is make sure you got home safely right? Nope. Terushima's texting patterns with you had always been scattered despite seeing him with his phone 90% of the time and texting away on it constantly.

"Fuck that guy. Why should I care so much about a guy not wanting me? That doesn't make me any less beautiful or desirable!" you want to shout those words aloud but the smaller voice inside makes you bite your lip to hold back more tears.

"But why doesn't he want me?" that singular question seems to maintain a strong grip on your mind as you continue wandering the night aimlessly. You pass by another bar and almost contemplate going inside but you accidentally bump into someone on their way out.

"Oh crap my bad, are you alright?" a tall guy asks you with olive-coloured eyes full of concern. You can smell the alcohol on him, but he doesn't appear to be as fucked up as you currently are. Instead of doing the normal thing and apologizing before running off embarrassed, more tears well up in your eyes.

As usual, the verbal question "are you alright?" always has the same effect as destroying a damn and allowing the water to pour out uncontrollably. The salty water begins to pour from your eyes as you shake your head.

"No," you whisper in between sniffles as the green-eyed stranger noticeably gets flustered having a random person crying in front of them. However, the guy also looks around with a tinge of anger in his body language.

"Did some creep touch you? Point them out, I'll beat their ass for you!" the strange boy exclaims as you shake your head once more, feeling a bit better at his misinterpretation of your predicament. Even though you're not in that situation, it still makes you happy that he'd be willing to confront someone on your behalf.

If only Teru were here for him to beat some sense into him...

"No it wasn't some rando, it was a guy I really liked but knew it'd never work out with," you quietly explain while managing to hold back your tears enough to communicate. You wipe your eyes with the sleves of your shirt as the guy runs an awkward hand through his short messy brown hair.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry to hear that. What an idiot," the guy says trying his best to be reassuring, though his voice wavers expressing to you that he's not confident in his abilities to comfort you for this kind of situation. However once again, the damn breaks.

"I know," you choke out as you cover your mouth trying to muffle your cries as others make their way out of the bar and into the street around the two of you. The guy looks at the crowd eyeing the two of you and swiftly panics and tries to calm you down.

"Ah I meant him not you!" the guy informs you but unfortunately your tears don't subside despite knowing you're causing this kind stranger a great discomfort. This all started because you wanted a little bit of fun, is it so bad that you wanted more?

You thought you were fine with your arrangement, but every now and then you just want someone to do dumb cutesy shit to you like hug you from behind or pat your head.

You train of thought is derailed as you feel a large yet gentle hand pat your head hesitantly. You stop crying immidiately look up over your tear-dotted lashes to see the green eyed guy awkwardly outstretching his arm to pat you without getting too close.

"There there, it doesn't make sense to cry over someone with trash standards," the guy informs you effectivley making your outburst of sorrowful tears transform into tears of laughter. Your laughing makes the guy jump and the crowd around you also grow confused.

"Did you really just pat my head to get me to stop crying?" you ask inbetween fits of laughter as the guy smiles awkwardly and nods while rubbing the back of his neck cutely.

"Well yeah, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything by touching you too much. Sorry I'm not great at this, but someone as pretty as you shouldn't be crying over someone who doesn't see your worth," the guy admits honestly as you continue to chuckle while wiping away your tears and smiling brightly.

After seeing your smile, the guy seems to tense up. His eyes widen in awe and his cheeks begin to burn red as you lock eyes.

"No need to apologize, I shouldn't have unloaded all that on a stranger. Thanks for the laugh though, I needed that," you say as another guy comes stumbling out of the bar, though this one is a much messier drunk than you are.

His short brown hair is shooting out in every direction and his pure brown eyes are red as if he were crying as much as you just were. His white silk shirt is completely open showing off his unexpectedly toned body.

"Iiiiwwwaaaa-ccchhhaaannn, are you blushing?" the guy asks teasingly as he stumbles over to you and the green eyed guy who instantly switches into a different person upon his friends appearance.

"Shut up shittykawa! I'm just a bit tipsy that's all!" the guy yells at his friend who throws his arm over his shoulder and shakes his head not believing a word that olive eyes uttered.

"No you is blushinggg, iz it becawse you're talking to this cutie?" the brown eyed guy asks after casting his eyes upon you, doing an obvious job of looking you up and down and seemingly enjoying what he sees. When you rushed out of Teru's place you didn't bother grabbing anything other than a long T-shirt and shorts that make it seem like you're not wearing any pants.

Though you're used to getting stares from people, the green-eyed guy promptly hits his friend over the head making you jump. The brown eyed guy cradles his injury as his friend shakes his head dissapointed.

"I told you not to get messy drunk you idiot, and don't oggle them you weirdo! Do you even get how uncomfortable that can make them, they're already having a shitty night," olive eyes practically growls in your defense making you acutely aware of how long it's been since someone's last defended you.

Let alone a tall, muscular green eyed hottie. You feel yourself grow hot as the two guys bicker in front of you.

"Owie! So posessive already, though I can't say I don't understand. They're truly quite a delight to the eyes," the brown-eyed guy quips making the guy reel back his arm for another slap which makes the brown eyed guy quickly flinch and put up his hands in surrender.

"Ah don't worry cutie, Iwa-chan is only violent with me but he's really a huge softie. Strong and dependable, though he's not as innocent as he likes to let on," the guy tells you with a giggle as the guy, Iwa you guess, sighs and turns his attention back to you. An embarassed expression decorating his beautiful face.

"I'm sorry about him, I'll have to drag him home but why don't you let me call you a cab?" Iwa offers as you shake your head making Iwa frown and grow a bit more stern. It's clear to you by the dynamic of him and his friend that he's used to being the caregiver in the friendship.

"I can't let you waste money on me, I'll just walk..."

"There's no way I'd feel comfortable leaving you to walk home alone like this. Please, let me make sure you get home safely," Iwa says in a tone that makes it obvious that his intentions are pure. The way this guy talks to you is so different than how Terushima talks to you.

While you'd consider the two of you friends, he wouldn't actively go out of his way to care for you outside the bedroom. Is this what an actual nice guy is like? You decide to nod in agreement but fumble around in your pocket for your phone making Iwa's cheeks flare up once more.

"W-what's this?" he studders as you offer up another warm smile while swaying slightly. Iwa holds out an arm to catch you in case you fall back, but you maintain your balance and try and fail to hold back a smile as Iwa cautiously grabs your shoulders gently and leans you against the wall.

Meanwhile his friend is now sitting on the ground.

"I need your number. That way I can pay you back tomorrow for the trip and the awkward crying fit," you say while giggling a bit as Iwa shakily takes the phone out of your hands and inputs his number before handing it back to you. You glance at the caller ID and frown confused.

"Hajime Iwaizumi?" you say Iwa's full name and try to meet his eyes again but find that they immidiately dart away from yours as he turns an even deeper shade of red. You can't tell if you're the reason for the change of shade or if the drink is slowly getting to him.

"Y-yeah that's my name," Iwa confirms as you nod.

"That's a really pretty name, mine is Y/N," you say introducing yourself only seeming to fuel the fire for Iwa's friend who once again gets a playful look in his glossy eyes.

"OOOOHHHHH Iwa-chan picking up cuties huh?! Nice," the guy slurs out earning him a punch on the arm despite already practicing laying on the ground. The yelp he lets out makes you laugh and quickly cover your mouth. Iwaizumi chuckles at your reaction and shakes his head.

"Don't worry, you can laugh at his expense," Iwaizumi says as you see a cab pull up in front of the three of you. You hold back a pout at your interaction with Iwa being cut short already. Since when do cabs actually show up this quickly?!

"I guess this is me?" you say as Iwa nods and leans over to speak with the cab driver and hands him some money before looking back over at you and nodding. He opens the door for you to get inside, you stumble towards it but pause for a moment to glance up at Iwaizumi who looks down at you curiously.

You don't know what comes over you, but you lean forward and place a gentle kiss on his cheek before leaning back and watching as his face shifts from concerned back to flustered.

"Thanks Iwaizumi, I'll call you tomorrow ok?" You say with a tiny wave before sliding into the car as you hear Oikawa lose his mind outside at your action. Instead of the shy response you were expecting, Iwaizumi smirks at you and nods.

"I'll look forward to your call then, get home safely Y/N," he says before closing the door leaving you stunned as the cab driver quickly pulls off.
