Tanaka is a highly underrated character. Also probably the most fashionable Karasuno boy out of the bunch. And I just love the fact that Noya calls Tanaka “Ryu”.
Tanaka: Okay, can I? Because the last time I left you in charge of something…
Saeko: Ugh! This is about those stupid Tamagotchis?
Tanaka: Actually it is!
Saeko: You left me with six of them. Taking care of that many is like a full time job.
Tanaka: I left you with six adult Tamagotchis in perfect health, and by the time I came home, they were all dead. You have to like, actively murder them in order for that to happen.
notes: gn! reader, none! just tanaka being a little shit (affectionate)
TANAKA RYUUNOSUKE comes home from his daily runs and almost always chooses violence. as soon as he comes back to your shared apartment unit, you can hear him whistling and singing along to whatever song’s playing on those earphones of his. sometimes you even get waken up by the fuss he’s causing outside your bedroom door, accidentally knocking down stuff while he tries to pour himself a glass of water. no worries, you’re almost always awake before he arrives, and he knows that! he walks into the shared bedroom and immediately locks eyes with you, only breaking it to strip off his sweaty t-shirt, exposing his toned torso where beads of sweat add shine to the otherwise smooth surface.
oh… no…
“ryu…no.” you start, giving him a warning stare and inching further into the headboard, akin to seeing a cheetah hiding amongst stalks of wheat or grass. and like a cheetah with instincts of their own, he pounces at you with a playful growl, engulfing you in an affectionatly sticky, sweaty, and uncomfortably warm embrace.
“RYUU!! GET THE FUCK OFF ME YOU—” to no avail, you try and push him off of you, or otherwise wriggle out of the blanket that now wound tightly around you like a burrito. “TAKE A DAMN SHOWER OR ELSE YOU’RE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH TONIGHT.” the koala-cheetah mf let’s you go SO FAST and looks at you with the most genuinely concerned face ever.
“wait no do i really stink that bad?” he twists himself this way and that to sniff at his armpits. quick, you take advantage of this diversion to poke at his tickle spot, earning the LOUDEST SCREECH you’ve ever heard him spew out of his mouth since the first time he saw kiyoko in a black dress. you both looked at each other like before bursting into an even louder fit of laughter.
“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SCREECH?!?”
“BABE DON’T DO THAT AGAIN PLEASE OH MY GOD” he is evidently embarrassed now thank you. not that he’s never embarrassed himself before.
a knock on your front door interrupt the beginnings of a tickle contest, locking eyes again before tanaka scrambles off of you and zooms to the bathroom. “HAHA KARMA YOU TAKE THAT BLEH”
“YOU—” you try getting a grip at his joggers but only managed to pull it down enough for a piece of his favorite teddy bear boxers underneath to peep through. you groan loud enough for him to hear, groggily getting out of the bed to make yourself somehow presentable to the pissed off neighbor probably fuming at your door right now.
