squid game: mlb edition
Oh man, this is such a hard question! And also I don't want our characters to die T^T. But I will try to answer your question as best as I can. To win squid game, I was trying to consider a few things. One; what are the stakes for failing? Why are the characters entering squid game? Is it to protect someone? Because I think most of the characters would not want to harm or kill anyone under most circumstances.
Second I was trying to consider what each character's threshold for violence is. And then the question... is this like a battle royal, where all mlb characters are playing against each other? I know this is a hypothetical question, but the mlb characters are all so real to me that my stomach is in so much turmoil with this question. Squid game or battle royal would be such a horrible situation to put all of them in T^T.
But since you asked, I did some brainstorming and here is what I think. Apologies in advance, this got incredibly long lol
I didn't analyse all the characters, because what I wrote already got way out of hand xD
STRENGTH: Medium. She could hold her own, because of her Agility and smarts, but strength is not her top stat AGILITY & STEALTH: Medium-High. I know Mari is clumsy, but as a clumsy person myself I know that it ends up giving you amazing reflexes. Her stealth would be shit though lol EMOTION: I think Mari would be one of the last ones standing. Emotionally if her self righteousness kicks in, she would be able to go quite far. If Lila and her were in the running there would be no way she would let Lila win, and therefore might do things she normally would not do. If she is paired against a friend, she would hate herself for hurting someone she loves, but I could see her doing it under certain circumstances.
STRENGTH: High. You'd want Adrien on your side AGILITY & STEALTH: High. Would make it through red light green light game for sure. EMOTION: Would not make it till the end I think. Against some people he loves, like Nino I think he would be crying his eyes out, but I almost feel like Nino would give in first and let Adrien win. But if he was paired against Mari, I think he would choose not to act and sacrifice himself rather than live with the pain of having to hurt her.
STRENGTH: High. I think Alya would kick ass AGILITY & STEALTH: Medium/High. I think Alya's agility in her normal form is mediocre, but her stealth and smarts are off the chart. EMOTION: I think Alya has a High Moral Center. What I mean by that is that an outside goal would be more important then her internal wants. I do think Alya would get really far, but I think she would calculate the odds of the people left to see who would have a better chance of winning. If that turns out to be someone other than herself, then I think she would sacrifice herself for that goal.
STRENGTH: Mediocre. Somehow I feel like Alya is the stronger one of the two. AGILITY & STEALTH: Medium. I think Ninos agility is not that great, because I don't think he's led a life where he's been threatened a lot. He is such a chill dude that he's not used to reacting quickly. EMOTION: Similar to Adrien, I don't think Nino would make it to the end. I think he would fail before Adrien even. Against certain people Nino would choose not to act and let others win. I think he's someone that loves really deeply. I think he loves others more than himself.
STRENGTH: Low. I honestly was humming and hawing about this. We know Rose is sick, but does that mean she's not strong? Or does it mean she has low stamina? She could be working out in her spare time for all we know. But for this AU I felt like Rose doesn't hold Physical strength as a value. I think mentally Rose is a really strong character and could withstand quite a lot. AGILITY & STEALTH: Medium. Roses Physical condition is not the best, but I think she enjoys moving. EMOTION: I think if Rose could make it through some of the first stages and be paired with a strong team she could go really far. I think she has a certain sense of self righteousness that comes out at times, which could push her to do things she normally would not. The fact that Rose sings Hard Rock Metal makes me feel like there is a side in her that we don't often see. Similar to Alya Rose can see things with a larger perspective in mind and she would play a smart game. If that means she'd have to loose, she would choose to do so.
STRENGTH: Medium-High. I think Juleka is innately strong. I think her mom would ask her to do a lot of tasks on the boat and she would gain strength naturally. I think she's stronger then Mari, but not as strong as Alya. AGILITY & STEALTH: Low, Medium. Juleka is a bit slow to react. I think she's good at hiding because she doesn't really want to be seen, so she knows how to disappear EMOTION: I think Juleka would be one of the first people to go, mainly because she struggles with self worth. She doesn't actually see what a wonderful person she is, so she may just give up and feel like the world is better off without her T^T. I love how over the mlb seasons Juleka slowly gains confidence and started to love herself more ❤︎
STRENGTH: Medium. I know Chloé doesn't ever lift anything, but I have this feeling that she values strength and secretly works out. That said, she would pretend to be weak when it serves her. AGILITY & STEALTH: Low. I think Chloe never became very coordinated, even with the time she put into pretending to be Ladybug. EMOTION: I have a feeling that Chloe would be one of the earlier people to exit the game. I read before that one consistent measure of success is Grit. Grit is the drive to push on, even when faced with repeated adversity or failure. I don't thing Chloé has Grit, which would result in a lack of drive to push through till the end. I also think she feels alone a lot and I could see the night time sleeping arrangements really getting to her.
STRENGTH: High. I think Luka works out ❤︎ AGILITY & STEALTH: Medium to High. Luka is so in touch with emotions and can see things really clearly that I think he knows his body really well. EMOTION: I actually think Luka would be one of the first people to go. He's such an empathetical person that I don't think he would want to play. I think the only reason he would stay in is to help others make it through a game, but if it came to a one on one, I think he'd surrender. He also believes in others so deeply that I think that he would trust in the strength of his friends.
STRENGTH: Medium to High. I feel like she's stronger then Mari AGILITY & STEALTH: High. Lila has lots of hidden skills. I think agility and stealth are two of those. EMOTION: Even though I'm not a fan of Lila, I think she would do quite well in this game. She puts herself before others and is great at manipulating people. I think she's be one of the last ones standing.
This was so hard!!!! I honestly was second guessing myself a lot, especially with Chloé, Rose and Luka. Like, Second chance implies that Luka has a high tolerance for suffering and that he can overcome hardship...would that trump him fighting his friends?!? (๑>ᗝ<)૭ !!!!
Thank you for going on this insane journey with me. If you made it this far down, YOU'RE A BEAST!!! Please take a well deserved break, because that was crazy lol
Have you ever thought of what shadybug x adrien would be like?
Thank you so much for asking! Surprisingly I actually hadn't. I think because I was living in an AU world created in my head. Somehow I kept thinking of stories with Marinette transformed as "Lady Noir" (I call her Dark Paw) rather then "Shadybug".
But since you are asking, I think that since Marinette dislikes Adrien (at least in my head-canon), Shadybug would dislike Adrien too. That said I think being Shadybug would let her see a different side to Adrien, since Griffe Noire in turn dislikes Shadybug too. Untransformed, Adrien doesn't quite know how to interact with Marinette because he really likes her which makes their interactions quite awkward with lots of misunderstandings. But I think Shadybugs interactions with Adrien would be filled with much more heated dislike, which I think Shadybug (Marinette) would know how to deal with better. I could even imagine that she would miss that interaction in her daily life. The simplicity of it. I think for Mari, there is something freeing about telling people off and having someone equally give back in turn. She wouldn't have to put up a front or pretend. I could totally see Mari getting closer with Adrien as a result.

Anonymous, thank you so so much for asking this question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It lead to this stream of consciousness writing which was so fun!!! I can picture what their dynamic would be like so much more now! Thank you so so much ♡
do you take requests?
Hi Anonymous
I'm trying to lean more into telling my own stories, so I'm a tad hesitant to say that I will take requests. That said, sometimes someone will say something that makes me really excited and it inspires a storyline in my head which I will draw.
So if you want to share something you love about the characters, don't hesitate to leave a comment. But please know that there is no guarantee of me drawing what you're asking for.
I know tumblr is not great when it comes to having conversations with others, but I will love and cheer on any comment you leave, even if it is solely to celebrate your excitement and love for these characters ♡
Thank you so much for this question ♥
Thank you for the tag, @dayochoco ♥ ---

Last song listened to:
I have these moments where I listen to one song on loop for the whole day. I'm currently listening to 'WayV 威神V 'Love Talk', 'Taemin 태민 'Guilty' and 'Jessica (제시카) and Amber Liu's - Get it? Got it? Good'
Currently watching: Mob Psycho Season 3
Guys I'm so late to this party, but Mob is so good!!!!!!!!!! I seriously just can't with this show, it's just so sweet! I absolutely love how Reigen recontextualizes how we all have worth and that it takes each of us to contribute to create a good society.
A lot of Shonen are about competition, wanting to be the best, as well as beating yourself up for not being enough. And while there are lots of mangas and animes that I love that use these tropes, I find Mob's take on how we can live life and our role in this world so refreshing and wonderful.
Currently reading: I'm reading a bunch of ML fanfics at the moment. Some of the ones that left a big impression on me were;
Tangled Ribbons (General Audience)
Come what May (Mature)
Call it Even (Teen and Up)
From the Ashes (Mature)
Satisfaction brought it Back (Explicit)
You'll be mine in the next life (Mature)
Currently obsessed with: Getting to know myself better
This may sound like a weird thing to be obsessed with, but when I was studying art, I felt so behind. Everyone was incredibly good at drawing and I felt that I had so much to learn and improve on. So rather than building a balanced lifestyle that included art as well as my other interests I found myself constantly thinking that if I had time for anything I should draw to get better. That really made me forget what was actually fun for me outside of drawing. I want to emphasize that I absolutely love drawing, but I think there is so much more to life than that. Especially as a creative person, we bring so many of our personal experiences into our art, so having an interest outside of art is incredibly valuable. So over the past three years, I've tried to really find answers to questions like "What truly brings me joy?" and "Who am I". Currently some of these things are reading and taking dance classes. Dance, in particular, has been instrumental in helping me escape the constant stream of thoughts in my mind. Like most artists, I experience moments of imposter syndrome, accompanied by unkind self-talk. However, dance serves as a powerful tool to ground me in the present moment. The music fills my head, drowning out the negative voices and allowing me to fully immerse myself in the joy of movement ✧✦✧ Tags @noehaddock @sabertoothwalrus @saytr @beybuniki @miraculouslylazybug @jascurka @lisaveeee @ladybeug @evriikas
What’s your personal favourite “end” for the scp universe, personally I love the 001 proposal “worlds gone beautiful” and I’m curious to hear your thoughts!
Also one of the recent SCP Explained released a video about the scarlet king being defeated by scp-999 through the use of scp-914 the "Clockworks" and spoiler: scp-999 defeats the scarlet king but swallows the whole world within it's slime like Mr. frundles from Rick and Morty, using it's amplified powers to pretty much end the world using the power of it's love and joy. Honestly, best way to go out in my book!
Ola’ long time no see since I asked on you’re blog
(Click on the image for a better look cause tumblr be like that sometimes)
ok so the basis of this “Au” that is a rp I’m doing is that the bloodmoon twins separated after ruin rebuilt them. They also still have nano machines- bloody- is the one that stayed with the main body while Bm is the one with the new Body (holding the Aroace flag :3) and in this “Au” a lot of trauma stuff goes down- bm is like old lunar a bit but probably much more traumatized. The glowing person is the same as the one who has the sleeves who is kcbm who was originally bm’s “kill code” but then they gained sentience and stuff-
I’d enjoy it if people asked me questions about this rp or Au and I could answer them so ask away!
when you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then it send to the last ten people in your notifications (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity. ♡

You hadn’t expected Morisuke to be like this.
Not when you first started dating. Not when he’d leaned against the lockers with that sharp tongue and tight jaw, the kind of guy who made jabs at your clumsiness and then lingered a little too long when he thought you weren’t looking. He wasn’t the flirty type. He didn’t flirt—he challenged.
So you gave it right back.
At first, it was banter. Sidelong glances. Him stealing the last protein bar from your bag. You calling him a pest under your breath when he caught your stumble in practice and wouldn’t stop grinning for the rest of the week. You weren’t even sure when it started to feel like something else.
But the first time he kissed you—short, hard, like he couldn’t help himself—you felt it.
Tension. Power. A pressure right under the skin.
And what surprised you most was how fast that pressure exploded the second the door shut behind you.
You didn’t remember how you ended up against the wall, just the way his hands gripped your thighs and hauled you up like you weighed nothing. The sound of the towel hitting the floor. The warm thud of your back against tile. And the way he looked at you—really looked at you—like he was done talking. Like he was ready to prove a point.
“Morisuke—” you gasped as his mouth brushed your collarbone, teeth grazing your skin before he lined himself up and pushed in.
The stretch was instant and overwhelming. Sharp, fast, brutal in the best way. Your head tipped back, mouth falling open in a wordless cry as your legs tightened around his waist. He felt everywhere. Deep, filling, steady in a way that made your entire body light up.
He didn’t speak. Didn’t need to. His breathing was rough, his jaw clenched tight, his arms flexed as he adjusted your weight with practiced control.
You clung to him, nails dragging across his back.
He started moving, and your breath caught.
Tight, efficient thrusts, the kind that lifted you up and slammed you back down—over and over—with a rhythm so controlled it bordered on cruel. One hand held your thigh in a vice grip. The other pressed into the base of your spine, anchoring you while he drove into you with focused, brutal precision.
The slap of skin echoed sharply against the tile, water steaming around you from the still-running shower you’d forgotten to shut off. The air was wet, heavy, fogged with heat, but nothing was hotter than him—than the fire under his skin, the muscles straining against yours, the sheer force of his focus.
You buried your face in his shoulder, gasping into his skin, trying to keep the sounds in.
“Mori—fuck, I can’t—”
His grip tightened.
“You can,” he said, voice barely more than a breath. “You already are.”
You were. Falling apart in his arms. Your thighs burned. Your stomach clenched. Your mouth couldn’t form real words anymore—just moans and broken sobs of his name. You were trembling, barely hanging on.
And then he adjusted.
Just a small shift—his hips angled higher, deeper—and your gasp cracked into a cry.
“Right there?” he rasped, voice wrecked but smug. “Yeah. I know.”
You nodded—or tried to. Your head was tipped back, hair clinging to your damp forehead, and your body was too far gone to do anything but take it.
Then his thumb found your clit.
The pressure was firm, steady. Unrelenting.
You shattered.
The orgasm tore through you so hard it knocked the breath from your lungs. Your body locked up, every nerve alight, your walls clenching around him so tight he nearly buckled.
You cried out, voice cracking, thighs quaking in his arms.
He swore—sharp and raw—and shoved into you harder, hips grinding in deep as he came with a guttural sound against your neck. He spilled inside you, fingers bruising into your skin, his chest pressed flush to yours like he needed to keep you pinned there forever.
You didn’t come down—you just collapsed. All of you. Muscles limp, lungs empty, brain blank.
He held you up like it was nothing.
Didn’t let go.
Just stood there, still inside you, your legs tight around his waist, his mouth pressed against your jaw.
“Morisuke,” you whined, too soft, too shaken.
He kissed your cheek. Then your temple. Then lower.
With a voice hoarse and wrecked, he breathed against your skin, “Say that again.”
You did.
And his hands started to move again.
Because Morisuke wasn’t even close to done.
Hear me out. Giving bokuto or ushijima their first bj in their early 20s. They’re just so busy all the time and once they finally meet you, how do you think It would go down?
You've been heard and its fantastic lolol
I hope you enjoy my love <333
--
The door creaked open, and Bokuto stepped inside with a quiet, exhausted sigh. His duffel bag was slung over one broad shoulder, and his varsity jacket hung haphazardly off him, half-zipped like he hadn’t even bothered to fix it. His hair was still damp from a post-practice shower, curling slightly at the ends, and the faint scent of soap and something distinctly him wafted across the room.
When he spotted you sitting cross-legged on the edge of his bed, his whole face changed. The tension in his shoulders softened, and a slow, sleepy smile spread across his lips.
"Hey," he said, voice rough and warm from hours of practice. "Didn't expect you to wait up."
You shrugged lightly, trying to keep it casual even though your heart squeezed at the sight of him—tired, flushed, and somehow still so beautiful. "Missed you," you admitted.
His smile deepened, fondness glowing in his golden eyes. Dropping his bag by the door, he kicked off his shoes with a lazy nudge and trudged over to you.
The mattress dipped under his weight as he collapsed beside you with a soft grunt, leaning heavily against you. His head found its way to your shoulder, his body curling toward you instinctively, seeking your warmth like a magnet.
"I'm so tired," he mumbled, words slurring slightly against your shirt.
You threaded your fingers through his damp hair, nails scraping lightly against his scalp. He melted instantly, a low, content hum vibrating from his chest.
"Poor baby," you teased gently, though your heart ached with how worn down he was. He always gave everything—on the court, in class, with his teammates. There was never anything left for himself.
He huffed a quiet laugh against you. "Missed you too, y'know."
You smiled, pressing a soft kiss to the crown of his head.
For a while, you just sat there, letting him soak in your presence. You could feel the weight of his exhaustion, the way his body sagged against yours, trusting you to hold him up.
After a long moment, you shifted slightly, your hand trailing down from his hair to cup his cheek, tilting his face up to look at you.
His eyes were heavy-lidded, lips slightly parted. So open. So vulnerable.
You leaned in, kissing him softly at first, your lips brushing over his in a slow, lingering touch. Bokuto sighed into your mouth, his large hands finding your waist, gripping you gently like he couldn’t bear not to touch you.
The kiss deepened naturally, lazy and warm, until you were shifting to straddle his lap, feeling the solid weight of him beneath you. Your hands slid down his chest, over the faint ridges of his stomach, until they hovered at the waistband of his jeans.
When your fingers brushed the growing tent forming there, he gasped softly against your mouth, hips jerking up slightly into your palm.
You pulled back just enough to look at him—his cheeks flushed, pupils wide, breathing shallow.
The thought struck you all at once. A way to take care of him. To give him something back.
"Let me take care of you tonight," you whispered.
Confusion flickered across his face. "You don't have to—"
You silenced him with another kiss, even deeper this time, pouring everything you felt into it—all the longing, all the tenderness, all the need.
When you pulled back, his breath caught audibly. His pupils were blown wide, cheeks flushed a soft pink.
You slid off the bed and knelt between his legs, resting your hands lightly on his thighs.
His breath hitched. "Wait—you… you don't—"
"I want to," you murmured, voice steady, fingers tracing slow circles against the thick muscle of his thighs.
Bokuto looked like he wanted to argue, but the words caught in his throat. He nodded instead, swallowing hard.
You reached for the button of his jeans, popping it open with deft fingers. His breathing grew ragged as you tugged the zipper down, his cock straining against the fabric.
When you freed him, he was already hard, twitching slightly under the cool air and your intense gaze.
You smiled up at him—gentle, reassuring—and leaned in to press a soft kiss against the head of his cock.
He gasped, his hips jerking slightly before he forced himself to stay still, fists clenching in the blanket.
"Holy shit," he whispered, voice barely a breath.
You took your time, trailing kisses down his length, licking slow, teasing stripes along the underside. Every little sound he made—the sharp inhales, the choked-off moans—made your stomach flutter.
When you finally wrapped your lips around him, sinking down slowly, his whole body shuddered.
"F-Fuck…" he whimpered, head tipping back against the bed, throat working as he swallowed thickly.
You set a slow, steady rhythm, bobbing your head while your hand stroked what your mouth couldn't reach. Your free hand stayed firm on his thigh, feeling every tremor, every tiny twitch.
Bokuto was a mess almost immediately, biting his lip hard enough to turn his knuckles white, trying desperately to keep quiet. His hips jerked despite himself, tiny, helpless movements you easily accommodated.
When you glanced up at him, the sight nearly undid you—his flushed cheeks, the glassy sheen in his eyes, the way he looked at you like you were something holy.
"I'm gonna…" he panted, voice breaking. "Gonna cum… if you…"
The desperate edge in his voice made something snap inside you.
You moaned softly around him, then picked up the pace—bobbing your head faster, taking him deeper with each stroke. Your hand worked in tandem with your mouth, twisting gently at the base as you sucked harder, tongue flicking against the sensitive underside.
Bokuto cried out, head falling back against the bed, chest heaving with ragged breaths. His thighs tensed under your palms, muscles trembling as he fought to keep himself grounded.
"F-Fuck, baby…" he gasped, voice cracking, hips jerking up despite himself. "I'm… I'm—"
With a shuddering groan that was almost a whimper, Bokuto came hard, hips stuttering helplessly as he spilled hot and heavy into your mouth. You swallowed carefully, easing him through it, the sounds he made—broken, vulnerable—searing themselves into your memory.
You kept your movements slow and gentle until he sagged back against the bed, completely spent, every muscle in his body quivering with the aftermath.
When you finally pulled back, wiping the corner of your mouth with the back of your hand, you looked up at him through your lashes.
He stared down at you like you’d personally rewritten the laws of physics, wide-eyed and flushed, chest still rising and falling rapidly.
"You're…" he croaked, still breathless. "You're amazing."
You climbed back onto the bed, and Bokuto immediately dragged you into his arms, cradling you against his chest like he never wanted to let you go.
"Stay," he whispered, voice raw.
"Wasn't planning on leaving," you murmured against his skin, pressing a kiss to his racing heart.
He held you tighter, burying his face in your hair, soaking in your warmth, your presence—everything he’d missed without even realizing it.
And for once, there was nowhere else either of you needed to be.
where are you bae imy 💔
BAE FEAR NOT I'VE RETURNED
apologies I took a couple days to recuperate from the hellish time that is exam season lolol I'm back and writing like normal :D
thank you for the ask <33
Asahi Azumane hadn’t meant to fuck you like this.
At least, not at first.
From the beginning, he had always treated you like you were something precious. Maybe it was because of the way you fit against him—smaller, delicate in his arms, easily lifted and carried. Maybe it was just who he was. But every time he touched you, it was careful, reverent—like he was holding glass, terrified of pushing too hard, of cracking something he could never replace.
He’d started slow, careful—just like always. His hands had been gentle, his mouth sweet against your skin, his body heavy but controlled as he eased into you between tangled sheets and soft, broken kisses.
You’d wrapped your legs around his waist instinctively, clinging to the broadness of him, the way his body caged you without feeling suffocating. And for a while, he moved like he was afraid—afraid of breaking you, afraid of being too much.
But the second you pulled your knees higher, the second you whimpered into his mouth and squeezed around him like you couldn’t stand even an inch of distance—
Something in him snapped.
And now you were folded beneath him, legs hooked over his shoulders, arms pinned above your head with one of his big hands wrapped around your wrists, completely at his mercy.
The angle was brutal. Deep. Overwhelming.
You couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. The thick weight of him drove every thought out of your head with each slow, devastating thrust that had your thighs trembling and your toes curling in the air.
“Asahi—” you gasped, but it was barely a sound. Your voice broke halfway through, your fingers twitching against his grip.
His other hand wasn’t idle—it skated down your waist, gripping your thigh, your hip, like he didn’t know where to hold you first. His forehead pressed against yours, his breath coming in sharp, desperate bursts, his body trembling from the effort of keeping it together.
“You feel—” he choked out, driving deeper, harder, the wet sounds of your bodies colliding echoing off the walls, “—so good, sweetheart. So fucking good.”
You whined. Couldn’t help it. Your whole body was screaming for him, clenching around him like you never wanted him to stop.
And Asahi, sweet, gentle Asahi, fucked you through it with a quiet ferocity that stole the air from your lungs.
He wasn’t rough. He wasn’t violent. But he was relentless—thrust after thrust angled to wreck you completely, his body pressing you deeper into the mattress with every snap of his hips.
You sobbed out his name, back arching off the bed despite his weight holding you down, and he groaned—low, broken, primal—when he felt how close you were.
“That’s it,” he panted, hips grinding in deep, “Come on, baby, come for me. Let go—I’ve got you.”
And you did.
The orgasm tore through you like a violent wave, pulling the breath from your lungs, your body spasming helplessly under him. You clamped down around him so hard he almost folded, his jaw locking as he cursed under his breath, fucking you through it even as your nails raked helplessly at his shoulders, even as you sobbed his name again and again.
He wasn’t far behind.
You felt the way his rhythm faltered—the way he ground into you one last time, burying himself to the hilt, as he came with a low, broken sound against your neck.
His entire body shuddered above you.
For a long time, neither of you moved. Just the sound of heavy breathing, trembling limbs, and water rushing faintly in the bathroom beyond the door.
Slowly, Asahi lowered your legs from his shoulders, pressing kisses to your knees, your thighs, anywhere he could reach, like he couldn’t bear to be apart from you for even a second.
You whimpered when his mouth brushed over the sensitive inside of your thigh, another tremor ripping through you.
He smiled against your skin—small, wrecked, overwhelmed.
“Sorry,” he mumbled, dragging his lips up to your hip. “Got a little carried away.”
You shook your head, still gasping, still stunned. Still full of him.
Asahi chuckled, low and breathless, and kissed your stomach, your ribs, your sternum—slow, grounding kisses that made your overstimulated body twitch and shiver with every touch.
“I’ll take care of you,” he murmured, lips brushing your pulse. “I’ve got you.”
You barely managed a broken whimper in response before he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you against his chest like you were something he couldn’t afford to lose.
And in that moment, you knew: He hadn't just fucked you like he was afraid of breaking you. He fucked you like he was afraid of losing you.
hello lovely!! I hope ur doing well! I’ve been to gobbling up all your writing recently and I just wanted to say that you’re so talented! Your ability to accurately characterize, well, the characters is so important and it’s just overall fantastic. Please keep up the good work!! <33
I wanted to request Sugawara — possibly taking care of the reader when they’re sick? Or maybe period pains? Either works, I really don’t mind! There’s not a lot of Suga writing on tumblr as a whole (that I’ve been able to find), and I’d like to see you work your magic! Thank youuu!
Hi sweet anon!! 🥹💛 Thank you so much for your kind words — They genuinely mean the world to me. I’m so happy you’re enjoying the writing!! Hopefully this is want you pictured in your head hehe
Enjoy<333
--
The door creaked open before you could even lift your head from the couch.
"Hey, you should be resting," came Sugawara’s voice—soft, teasing, but edged with concern. The sound of it washed over you like a balm, even as your body rebelled against every small movement.
You grunted in response, curling deeper into the fortress of blankets you'd made for yourself. Every inch of your body ached with a dull, persistent throb. Your head pounded in time with your heartbeat, and your stomach twisted and cramped unpleasantly, making you feel heavy and brittle all at once.
Koushi set the grocery bag down with a soft thud, the rustling of plastic filling the room as he moved around. You cracked one eye open to find him methodically unpacking supplies: herbal teas, a box of your favorite crackers, a heating pad, a fresh bottle of painkillers, and—to your complete and utter dismay—a small bouquet of daisies.
“You didn’t have to,” you croaked, voice hoarse.
He shot you a look over his shoulder, eyebrow arched in a way that immediately made you feel silly for even suggesting it. “You’re right,” he said lightly, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “I didn’t have to. I wanted to.”
You huffed, burrowing deeper into the blanket, trying—and failing—to hide the way your face flushed. Whether it was from embarrassment or overwhelming gratitude, you weren’t sure.
Sugawara padded over, kneeling down so you were eye-level. His hand, warm and slightly calloused from years of volleyball, brushed against your forehead. Gentle, steady.
“Still warm,” he murmured, his brows knitting together in a tiny frown. “Poor thing.”
You cracked a weak smile, the motion tugging at the ache in your temples. “I’m fine, really,” you mumbled.
“Mmhmm,” he hummed, clearly not believing a word of it.
Without asking, he cracked open one of the heat packs, giving it a firm shake until it warmed to life. He slipped it under the blanket, pressing it against your lower abdomen with slow, careful movements. A soft, involuntary sigh slipped past your lips as the warmth seeped into your cramping muscles.
He smiled at that, eyes crinkling in that boyish, heart-melting way he had.
“There’s my girl,” he said, so quietly you almost didn’t catch it over the gentle thrum of the rain starting outside.
Sugawara busied himself preparing tea—the comforting clatter of the kettle, the soft clink of a spoon stirring honey into a mug—all while stealing glances at you every few moments. Watching. Making sure you didn’t strain yourself.
When he returned, he slid onto the couch beside you, coaxing you upright just enough to press the steaming mug into your hands.
“Easy,” he murmured, one hand steadying the cup with you. “Small sips.”
You obeyed, too tired to argue, the warmth from the tea and his touch making the ache behind your eyes begin to loosen.
Once the tea was safely set aside on the coffee table, he didn’t retreat back to his corner. Instead, he carefully pulled you into his arms, arranging you across his lap with an ease that made your heart ache. His hands found your lower back almost immediately, working slow, tender circles into the tense muscles there.
The world outside faded. The rain against the windows softened into a background hum. Your muscles remained sore, but the sharp edges of your pain dulled—replaced by the steady, grounding beat of Koushi’s heart against your ear, the rise and fall of his breathing, the feeling of being wrapped up in something—someone—solid and sure.
Your hands tightened weakly in the fabric of his shirt, clinging to him like a lifeline.
“Thank you,” you whispered back, voice cracking from the weight of everything you were too tired to say properly.
He only squeezed you tighter, thumb stroking lazy, soothing patterns across your hip.
“Always,” he murmured.
And as your eyes fluttered closed, your body giving in to the exhaustion at last, you realized: with Koushi here, you could finally let yourself rest.
Truly, completely, safely rest.

It started with a panda.
Or rather, it started with you, lounging on the couch with a ridiculous animal-print face mask plastered to your face, scrolling through your phone like nothing was out of the ordinary. You wore it like a second skin—completely unbothered, completely at peace.
And then Tsukishima walked in.
He froze halfway through the doorway of your shared apartment, one brow raised as he took in the sight of you in your oversized hoodie, face glistening with a panda-shaped sheet mask.
“...You good?”
“Thriving,” you said simply, not even bothering to look up.
He didn’t respond right away. Just dropped his bag by the door and walked in with that usual lazy gait, eyeing you like you were some sort of cryptid he wasn’t sure how to handle.
“You look ridiculous,” he said eventually, standing behind the couch now, arms crossed.
You peeked up at him with a smirk. “That’s rich coming from someone who used to wear sport goggles indoors.”
He narrowed his eyes at you. You stuck your tongue out.
“Is this one of those self-care things?” he asked, nose wrinkling slightly as he stared at the mask. “Like cucumbers-on-the-eyes and bath bombs?”
“Exactly that,” you nodded. “Except these ones are more fun. They have animals on them.” You pointed to the half-empty package on the coffee table. “You wanna be a tiger or a polar bear?”
He stared at you.
You stared back.
“Absolutely not,” he said flatly.
“You’re doing it.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Yes, you are.”
You were already peeling one of the masks from its packaging with careful fingers, holding it up like a peace offering. It was orange-striped with little ears on top. Then you reached behind you and grabbed a matching tiger-print headband, complete with pointy ears.
"And this," you said, holding it up triumphantly. "To keep your hair out of your face."
He looked positively scandalized. "There is no way I—"
"Oh, you are," you cut in, already nudging it toward him. "C'mon, Kei. Don't you want the full experience?"
He looked at the headband, then at you, then back at the headband like it personally offended him. But when you wiggled your brows at him and smiled with full confidence, he muttered something under his breath and snatched it from your hand.
"You owe me so much for this."
"Add it to my tab."
He rolled his eyes but said nothing as you helped him unfold the mask and carefully place it over his face.
“Okay, hold still. It has to line up with your eyes… okay, a little to the left—no, my left… there.”
You leaned back to admire your work. Tsukishima, volleyball star, tall and smug and forever exasperated, now sat beside you wearing a bright orange tiger face mask that made his scowl look ten times funnier.
“...You look adorable.”
“I look like a joke,” he said dryly.
You took a photo.
“Delete it.”
“Never.”
Despite all his complaining, Tsukishima stayed there with you for the full fifteen minutes, arms crossed and huffing dramatically every so often. But he didn’t move. And when you started scrolling through your phone again, his thigh pressed just a little closer to yours.
And when the timer went off and you both peeled the masks off with grossed-out noises, you glanced at him with a grin.
“So?”
“So what?”
“Do you feel refreshed and radiant?”
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. “I feel sticky.”
You laughed and leaned over to kiss his cheek. “You’re glowing, tiger boy.”
He shook his head but didn’t push you away. In fact, a small, reluctant smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Maybe face masks weren’t the worst way to spend a lazy evening.

Kenma had never liked seeing you sick.
Not in high school, not now, not ever.
He wasn't the overly expressive type—not with words, not even with touch unless prompted—but he was attentive in the quietest, most precise ways. It was in how he brewed your tea with exactly the right amount of honey, how he remembered which corner of the blanket you preferred, how he adjusted the thermostat a degree lower without being asked. It was in how he never once complained when you sneezed directly onto his hoodie and then apologized like you'd committed a crime against humanity.
You'd caught a fever two days ago. High. Dangerous enough to make him drop his controller mid-stream, tell his viewers he was logging off, and shut everything down without a second thought. His fans could wait. You couldn't.
Now you were curled up in bed, cocooned under three layers of blankets, face flushed and eyes watery. Your hair stuck to your temples in damp strands, and your lips were dry despite the water and juice he kept coaxing you to drink. A warm haze clung to you like a second skin.
Kenma sat on the edge of the bed, gently brushing a clammy strand of hair from your forehead, his brows drawn together with a soft, worried furrow. You looked so small like this. Fragile in a way he hated.
"Do you need anything?" he asked, voice soft.
Your response was a quiet hum—too soft, too weak. Your hand barely moved when you tried to reach for him and gave up halfway through.
He sighed. "I’ll take that as a 'no' then."
He rose and padded barefoot to the bathroom to change the cool compress on your head. When he returned, you winced slightly at the shock of it against your heated skin but gave him the smallest of smiles. That smile was all he needed to stay planted beside you for the rest of the evening.
The first day was simple: fever, rest, more rest. Kenma read to you in a soft voice when you couldn’t sleep, half-watching the screen of his Switch when you drifted off. The second day, the fever didn’t break. Your cough got worse. You started getting whiny—not in a mean way, just more clingy, more fussy. You tossed and turned, grumbled at the blanket for being too heavy and then too thin. Kenma adjusted it each time without complaint, wordlessly refilling your cup when it was empty.
"Don’t leave," you murmured once when he stood up to grab your medicine.
"I’m just going to the kitchen."
"Still. Don’t."
He paused. Then slowly sat back down. "Okay."
You fell asleep not long after, your fingers curled in the fabric of his sleeve like a tether.
By the start of the third day, the fever had started to dip, but something was off. Not worse—just different. You were moody. Restless. Your eyes kept drifting toward him, then away. You fiddled with your sleeves, pulled your legs up under the blankets only to stretch them back out a moment later. You weren’t saying much, but when you did, it was to complain—your pillow was too soft, your tea was too sweet, your shirt was itchy.
Kenma didn’t mind. He never minded when it came to you. But the inconsistency in your behavior pinged in the back of his mind like a notification he couldn’t swipe away.
By mid-afternoon, he closed his game console and leaned forward, placing it gently on the nightstand. His golden eyes watched you with subtle intensity as you fiddled with the edge of your blanket.
"Okay," he said flatly. "You’ve been squirmy and weird all day. Spill."
Your eyes widened, and your face—already flushed from the fever—somehow turned redder. You immediately turned your face into the pillow.
He waited.
You groaned. "It’s nothing. I’m just... tired."
He didn’t buy it. Not for a second. "You’re not tired. You’re needy."
Your breath hitched in your throat.
Kenma blinked, letting the silence stretch for a moment as he watched you squirm. His voice dropped lower, a little softer, more curious than accusatory. "...That it?"
You buried your face deeper into the pillow, voice muffled and near-incomprehensible.
"What was that?"
You turned just enough to peek at him with one eye, your lip trembling slightly. "I just... I wanna be held. But I’m gross and sweaty and disgusting, and I didn’t wanna bother you."
Kenma stared at you for a long beat. Then he gave a soft sigh, scooting closer until his knees bumped the side of the mattress.
"Move over."
Your eyes widened again. "But—"
"You think I care about sweat?"
"I literally sneezed in your hair yesterday."
"You did," he admitted. "And I’m still here."
You shifted slowly, cautiously, your heart fluttering like the fever had sparked all over again. Kenma climbed into bed beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. He was careful not to press against you too hard at first, but once you leaned into him, he wrapped his arms around you with a slow, deliberate tenderness, pulling you close until your head rested just beneath his chin.
You melted.
The warmth of him, the steady rise and fall of his chest, the way his fingers settled gently against your spine and started tracing soft, grounding lines—it was everything you hadn’t been able to ask for.
"Better?" he murmured.
Your voice cracked. "Yeah."
He kissed the top of your head, barely a brush of lips against fever-damp hair. "Next time, just say it. I can’t read your mind, you know."
You made a weak, embarrassed sound. "I didn’t want to be annoying."
"You’re always annoying," he mumbled, brushing his thumb against your arm. "But you’re mine. So it’s fine."
Despite the congestion, the soreness in your throat, the heat in your cheeks—you laughed. A breathy, tired little sound that still managed to be real.
He felt your smile against his collarbone.
Kenma held you tighter.
Neither of you moved for a long time. Minutes passed, then maybe an hour. Eventually, you dozed off in his arms, breathing soft and slow, and Kenma didn’t dare shift or get up.
He stayed right there, running his fingers along your back, as the fever began to retreat.
The medicine was working.
But more than that, you had finally let yourself rest in the place you needed most.
With him.
Hey I really love the way you write it’s so fun to read and really fits the characters. I wanted to request you making small drabbles or a series on how the haikyu characters would treat you while youre pregnant. If it’s something you don’t want to write no worries. 🩷
OMGG yesss I love that idea 🙈🙈🙈 It goes so well with my other mini-series ehehe, I'm 100% adding it to the roster!! Thank you for your sweet words, they never fail to make my day.
For you! Gorgeous Human!! Enjoy <333 --
Ushijima has been overprotective since the very beginning.
The second those two lines showed up on the test, it was like a switch flipped in him. He became your personal guard dog, nurse, chauffeur, meal planner, and human forklift all rolled into one stoic package.
It was kind of sweet—at first. The way he’d gently tug your hand away if you tried to carry anything heavier than a spoon. The way he’d Google symptoms with intense focus, like your morning sickness was a tactical challenge he could overcome with enough research. The way he sat through every prenatal appointment like it was the Olympics and he was preparing to win gold in fatherhood.
But by the third trimester?
You’re one more “let me do it” away from committing actual murder.
“I’m gonna change the sheets,” you say, bracing a hand on your lower back as you waddle toward the linen closet.
Before you even touch the doorknob, he’s there. He must have materialized from the floorboards.
“I’ll do it,” he says.
You blink up at him. “Wakatoshi—”
“The mattress is heavy.”
“I’m not flipping it! I’m just changing the sheets.”
Still, he reaches over you and pulls out the linens like it’s already been decided. “Sit down. I’ll take care of it.”
You stare at him, nostrils flaring, lips twitching, but you don’t fight it. Not yet.
Then come the groceries. The laundry. The vacuum you so much as glance at. And every time, he gets to it before you can even try. Every time, he gently insists. Every time, you swallow the urge to scream.
Until now.
You step onto the footstool to reach the top kitchen cabinet—one single bowl, that’s all you want—and he appears in the doorway like a haunted house spirit.
“Don’t,” he says sharply.
That’s it. That’s the moment you snap.
“USHIJIMA,” you explode, flinging your arms wide in a very dramatic but very off-balanced motion. “I am pregnant. Not porcelain. I can do things! I can move and lift and stretch and reach and I would like to do one thing—just ONE THING—by myself without you treating me like I’m going to spontaneously combust!”
He pauses. Blinks. That stoic face giving you absolutely nothing.
“…You were wobbling,” he says.
“I always wobble! I’m basically a giant, sentient bowling pin at this point!”
“I don’t want to take chances,” he says, calm as ever.
“Well I want to do something myself!”
He hesitates. You can practically hear the gears turning in his head. Eventually, he steps back and says simply, “Okay. Do it.”
Oh. Oh he did not just call your bluff.
You puff out your chest, grab the cabinet door for balance, and go for it. Fingers brush the edge of the bowl, victory within reach—
—and then you realize you can’t quite twist back down. You’re halfway off the stool and stuck. Pride flickers. Stomach tightens. Arms flail just a little.
“…Toshi?” you call, voice small. “I, um. I need help.”
He’s there in seconds.
Strong arms wrap around you, lifting you like you weigh nothing. He sets you gently on the floor like a queen being lowered onto her throne.
“You were saying?” he murmurs, hand on the small of your back.
You scowl. “I hate you.”
“You don’t,” he replies smoothly. “You just hate that I’m right.”
You slump against his chest, bowl in hand, your forehead hitting the middle of his sternum. His hand rubs up and down your spine. You sigh dramatically.
“You’re so annoying.”
“And you’re still holding the bowl.”
“…Shut up.”
You must have a lot of notepads in your place
