Tanaka is an underrated KING. My absolute baby! MWAH! JUST… GIVE HIM LOVE Y’ALL GAH DAMN
This is after the time skip meaning Tanaka is over 18 :)
Hageshī Sasori, the Fierce Scorpions. A professional volleyball team based in Osaka.
Ever since high school you had a passion for the sport, a sort of love that couldn’t be explained. It was only when you’d hit the peak, flying through the air, that you’d truly experience a sort of high that couldn’t be replicated. With everyone on the edge of their seat, you could feel the rush that flowed through your veins that pushed you further to reach for that next point.
It was utterly… magical.
Which is why you knew you couldn’t stop.
“Let’s go Ha-geshī Sa-sori!” The cheers of dedicated fans echo through the overly large stadium.
Sweat trickles down your forehead, chest heaving. Your trained eyes fixated on the ball that slices through the air.
“Set point! Hit ‘em with the stinger Y/N!”
A voice screams from the stands. It was your final move. As the ace of the team, you had your own secret weapons. One was especially favoured by your fans, the one they called ‘The Stinger’. It earned the name from its ability to pierce through most blocks of your opponents.
Your legs ache but it was nothing that could strip your attention, you’re too far into the zone to be distracted. One glance over to your captain and you see them nod, granting approval to take the last point.
You leap, arm ready to swing down at the ball and cut through the opposing team’s defence.
A blaring slam against the polished floors ricochets against the walls. As you fall back to your feet, your eyes widen. You did it. Your team took the victory.
Your fellow members scream with euphoria and leap onto you, burying you in a pile of sweatied bodies. The entire stadium erupts into roars of cheering.
“Great work today guys! That was incredible!” Your overly bubbly coach beams at the smiling faces before them.
You wipe the back of your neck with the hand towel that seemed to live on your shoulders. You grin to yourself, still trying to catch your own breath.
“HEYYY!” You hear a familiar voice scream. You turn towards it, unsurprised at the joyous face of Tanaka Ryūnosuke, your number 1 fan and dedicated boyfriend.
“Hey stud, how’s it hangin’?” You ask before taking a swig of your now room-temperature water.
Tanaka wraps his arms around your waist and hoists you up into the air. “THAT WAS AMAZING! YOU DID SO WELL!” Surely enough, he hasn’t changed at all since high school.
You lay your arms on his shoulders and look down at him with a wide smile. “Thank you baby.” You giggle, planting a quick kiss on his lips. “But you should probably let go of me, I’m all sweaty and gross.”
“Nope. Not letting you, you’re gonna have to pry me off.” He tightens his grip on you, nuzzling his face into your ribs.
“Okay okay!” You laugh, cupping the sides of his face. “Pretty please let me down, I gotta thank people for coming.”
Tanaka huffs yet disgruntledly lets you go, only to snatch your hand in his. “Mine.” He says, squeezing you just that little bit more to stake his claim on you.
“Geez babe, anyone would think you’re my bodyguard the way you’re watching over me.” You joke, nudging him in the side with your elbow.
“Sorry not sorry. I’m protecting what’s mine.” He states proudly whilst puffing out his chest, staring down anyone who dares to even look your way.
“Wow what a cute couple, down for a poly?” A distinct high-pitched voice hollers from behind you.
You laugh, already knowing who it is. “For you Nishinoya? Of course.” You say, spinning on your heels to face him.
Tanaka releases your hand to give his old friend a bear hug. “Where you been my dude? I thought you were going to Italy.”
“I was but I heard Y/N was playing and I had to see before I left.” Nishinoya gleams, throwing his arms in the air. “And you did awesome!” He yells excitedly.
“Thanks Noya.” You say, ruffling his hair.
“Hi uh Y/N is it?” A voice calls from behind you as you feel gentle taps on your shoulder.
You turn to them. “That would be me, how can I help you?”
Your eyes take note of the figure, it’s a tall man that seemed rather anxious to talk to you. You soften your look in an attempt to comfort them.
Tanaka, too involved in his conversation with Noya, doesn’t quite notice.
“I just wanted to say that I’m a big fan, I used to see your games back in high school. You’ve really come a long way.”
You smile brightly at them. “Why thank you! It’s a relief to know I’ve improved and I’m not just recycling old moves.”
The man laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. His eyes can’t seem to catch yours as he stares at the ground. “Yeah… I also wanted to ask you for your number–?”
Tanaka’s ears prick up as the words fall from the mans mouth. He instantly spins around and wraps his arm around your waist. “Sorry there buddy but, they’re taken.” He tries to keep his playful tone for your sake but ultimately fails.
Nishinoya stands beside you and glares at him. “Yeah move it along pal!”
It’s no surprise the both of them are so protective, they had been that way all through high school. Never letting anyone come anywhere near you.
You pray that the man will just take his pardon and leave.
“I’m pretty sure they can speak for themselves.” He states, crossing his arms.
You sigh, mentally preparing yourself for whatever is going to come next.
“Oh it’s like that?!” Tanaka says, rolling his shoulders back in an attempt to intimidate him.
“So you wanna go after our precious Y/N and then stay when you’re clearly not wanted here?!” Nishinoya says, rolling up his sleeves.
“I’m just saying, if they really wanted me to leave they’d tell me.” He’s not helping his case. The man plants his feet, refusing to leave from his spot.
“Oh geez…” You mutter under your breath. “Okay guys let’s back up a little huh?”
“Those asswipes started it.” The man says in a way that brings you back to early childhood of ‘he did this’ ‘she did that’.
“Who are you calling an asswipe?!” Tanaka asks, getting right up into his face.
“Tanaka, heel.” You say gripping him by his shirt collar. “Noya, you too. Don’t think I forgot about you, ya little gremlin.” It never really mattered what you’d say, the boys typically listened to you. They both step back.
“We’re backing down for their sake. Not yours.” Tanaka growls, eyeing him off as much as he can before you drag him away.
You watch as Nishinoya stays in his place, keeping guard of you from a distance. The man keeps his eyes glued on the two of you. Tanaka flashes a quick grimace his way before gripping your cheeks and planting a kiss on on your lips.
He slides his hands down your hips and pulls you in closer to him, pressing you against his body. You graze your hand over the back of his neck to deepen the kiss.
He pulls away and looks back over, the man seems to be fuming while Nishinoya laughs and cheers you on. Tanaka grins cheekily and returns his attention back to you.
“You sly shit.” You say as you shake your head with a smile.
“Gotta let the people know what’s mine.” He says before laying a gentle kiss on your nose. “Take the day off tomorrow, you’re spending it with me…”
Okay so I’ve set this up for a part 2 but it’s really up to you guys if you wanna know what happens next. If that’s the case, then it’ll most likely be NSFW kghjfd.
Anyways, Tanaka supremacy <3

Haikyuu Masterlist //Love Song Event Masterlist
You were laying in your bed, snuggled in the covers, waiting. Your phone was on your chest, screen black. You stared up at the ceiling, having nothing else better to do.
Then your phone buzzed.
You shot straight up, throwing your phone onto your legs. It hit one of your kneecaps, but you ignored the pain. You scrambled to pick it up and turned it on quickly.
You had one new message.
You clicked on it eagerly and read it with warm eyes.
Hey, baby! Just got out of practice and got my phone back! How r u????
You smiled. The coach had a no-phone rule during practice, so he made all of the students place their phones in a bucket before practice to collect after. It was probably a good idea because you had no doubt your amazing boyfriend would text you the whole time.
You shot off a quick reply and waited. After a minute or two you laid back down in bed, but kept a hold of your phone. When it buzzed, a few moments later, you couldn’t help the smile on your face. A voice message.
You clicked play and let Ryu’s comforting voice fill your room.
Ah, baby, couldn’t wait to hear my voice? Can’t blame ya, I’m-
His voice cut off and a cacophony of male voices rose up.
You are revolting.
Yeah, why do you have to do this in the club room, Tanaka-senpai?!
We all know you have a girlfriend and we don’t quit rubbing it in!
You couldn’t help but giggle at their complaints. Tanaka’s voice cut back in then, much closer and softer.
Sorry baby, I’ll have to send one when I get out of the room, one sec.
The voice message ended. You quickly texted him that it was okay and that you could wait. So you did. About three minutes later, a world record for Ryu changing, your phone buzzed again. Another voice message. You pressed play.
Hey baby, I’m out now. Practice was rough, coach had us doing flying laps everytime we missed a receive. Of course, I didn’t have to do that many but the first years were dying haha. And then- Oh hey Kiyoko, one sec baby-
The message cut off. You frowned. Then you waited. As you did, thoughts began to swirl around in your head. Doubts and insecurities that you knew damn well weren’t founded but arose nonetheless. Then you got a text.
Walking Kiyoko home, I’ll call you on my way home <3
You frowned but let it go, texting him your acknowledgement.
Nothing’s wrong / But when you’re not in my arms / I send voice notes, you send hearts / And get quiet / And I know that means you miss me
Your friend was droning on and on about some class but all you could see was her.
She was standing in the courtyard outside your classroom window. She wasn’t even talking to him, just some peers from her classroom, but those evil thoughts bubbled to the surface.
What if Ryu likes her more than me? What if he doesn’t love me? What if he doesn’t want me-
“Hello?” Your friend called and waved their hand in front of you. You snapped out of your thoughts and turned to them. “You alright, Y/n?”
“Yeah,” you looked back at Kiyoko. She was gone. “I’m fine.”
You’re jealous, you shouldn’t be / I want you obsessively / But I know how complicated it can get
“I can bring it to him.”
Kiyoko was smiling softly, beautifully at you.
You had made a bento for Ryu because he had texted you that this practice was going to be long. He had complained that he forgot to pack a dinner and was going to starve to death (always the drama queen) so you had taken it upon yourself to remedy your boyfriend’s problem.
But now here Kiyoko was.
“Are you sure, I mean-”
“There’s a lot of balls flying around in there, L/n. I wouldn’t want you getting hurt.”
She said it so genuinely. There was no trace of deceit in her words, and the fact that you were looking for it made your stomach churn.
“Yeah of course. Thanks.”
And you handed her the bento.
When you’re not in front of me / I know insecurities / Get in your head
You were walking home when you heard a familiar voice call your name. You turned around to see your boyfriend.
“Ryu!” You smiled, then frowned. “Don’t you have practice?”
“I do,” he grinned and pulled you into a hug. You fell into his embrace with a sigh. “But I’m skipping it for you.”
You pulled away immediately and swatted him on the arm. “Ryu! Don’t skip practice! You better get your ass to that gym before I-”
“Sorry, sorry, I’m not actually skipping, I just thought it would sound cool,” Ryu pouted adorably. Your anger faded away and you sighed.
“So what happened?”
“The first years are having special practice to give us a small break. I gotta be back in thirty minutes.”
“Then let’s get going.”
You walked in silence with him for a bit before he spoke up.
“I actually asked for thirty minutes,” he confessed, rubbing the back of his neck. You turned to look at him.
“Why?”
“I felt like something was off with you so I wanted to talk.”
The thoughtfulness in that statement took you back. He was so worried about you that he asked for time off to talk right away? You shook your head. Nothing less from Ryu.
“Nothing’s wrong,” you lied.
“Baby,” Ryu said softly, reaching out to touch you. You let him grab your hand.
I sighed. “I guess I’m just worried.”
“Worried about what?”
“That you won’t love me anymore.”
“Why would you think that? Wanna talk about it?”
You thought for a moment then nodded. “Yeah. And because, there are so many other girls so much prettier than I am and better and I don’t know I am just insecure.”
“Okay,” Ryu nodded. “But I want you to know I think that’s all bullshit. There is no one in this world better than you, baby.”
You smiled at him. “Thank you.”
But I’m not gonna interrupt / If you need to talk about it / Roll my eyes or get offended by / The way you doubt it
You were losing it.
Crying, sobbing, hiccuping, you name it.
Your insecurities had just gotten the better of you. All you could think about was how unworthy of love you were, and how Ryu was going to leave you for the obviously better Kiyoko.
You weren’t sure how long you were crying, but it was a while. After you had calmed down a bit, your phone rang. You picked it up, thinking you were probably good enough to talk.
“Hey baby, just got out of practice and I am walking home. How was your day?” Ryu’s warm voice poured out of the speaker, tipping you over the edge once more.
“G-good,” you sniffled. You cursed yourself. Could you make it anymore obvious you had been crying?
“Are you crying?! Baby I’m on my way right now.” You heard his footsteps pick up.
“No, no, it’s okay I am fine now-”
“Is it about what we talked about earlier?” Ryu almost never cut you off, but this time he did. You knew he was serious and lying was going to get you nowhere.
“Yes.” Your voice was soft.
“Okay. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
Then he hung up.
You know you’re mine / You just forget sometimes / So promise me you won’t
Ryu burst into your room. You knew that your parents would have no problem letting him in. ALl you did was look up at him from the ball you were curled into under the blankets. You lifted one arm in invitation and he rushed to you.
He dove under the covers and pulled you into his chest.
And you know I’ll remind you / When you think I don’t
He pulled you closer into his embrace and whispered into your ear.
Hey stupid, I love you / Hey stupid, I love you
