“here you are, my dearest, didn’t we agree to meet outside my practice room?” a hand ruffles your hair.

you look up to meet with a pair of crimson red eyes and a smile. smiling back, you placed your book into your bag. the boy takes a seat on the bench next to you. having just finished his idol practice for the upcoming SS competition, rei was exhausted. he leans on your shoulder and closes his eyes while you stroke his black hair in return, a common gesture you've had with him since you were kids.

"ah, sorry i must have forgotten. did something happen today?" you questioned gently while playing with his hair, tucking any lose strands behind his ears when they fell over his face.

rei knew that you had to stay back after classes today to attend a student council briefing and since it was planned to end around the same time as UNDEAD’s practice, he told you to wait for him. how he knew that you had to attend a meeting? you didn't know, you only knew that rei knows everything about the school. you told him that it would be fine walking back to the dormitory building, besides, the other stu-co members would be with you but he insisted.

“mm, i might have pushed us too much today. i must say, i am exhausted...couldn’t really breathe. i might actually die soon.” rei replied with a sigh.

“is it the literal meaning or...?” 

“both”

“i thought vampires were immortal? do you need me to take you to a doctor?”

“yes and no, i only need you by my side. i’ll feel better this way.”

“cheesy”

“you know you like it,”

he's not wrong though, you do like it. he remains in that position for a good three minutes before standing up suddenly, shocking you a little. during that time, you thought he had fallen asleep, and everyone knows how tough it is to wake him up once he’s asleep. rei must’ve been really exhausted, since his energy levels were fairly low, despite the sun setting below the horizon, allowing the moon to rise.

"shall we head back?" he offers his hand.

you gladly take up his offer and nodded but before you could take a step forward, rei took off his blazer and draped it over your shoulders.

"how careless.” he whispered into your ears. “honestly, who would wear the summer uniform in the middle of october? indeed, it is not as chilly in the afternoon but everybody knows how cold it gets once the sun sets. what do you suppose would become of me had you gotten a cold? who’s going to help me discipline the kids? who’s going to keep me comp–” ah, rei’s grandpa antics. muttering a couple of sorrys, you smile and thank him.

cute.

“understood, grandpa.” cutting his worry-wart talk, you walk in front of him. rei catches up with you in no time, a smile on his face and ruffles your hair once more.

“good.”

the walk to the dorm buildings from the campus was a little distance away and both of you conversed a lot (as usual), with you sharing your thoughts on the meeting you had earlier and rei talking about how his practice went, occasionally throwing in some more of his lame pick-up lines. although the female dormitory building was further than the male’s one, he insisted that he’d walk you all the way to the female dormitory building gate. you thanked him for walking you back although you would have gotten back earlier if you hadn't met him and returned his blazer.

"good night, princess. see you tomorrow." he bows.

princess, that nickname he gave you years ago..

"good night, rei." you wave and watch him walk into the direction of the male dorms. once you can no longer see his silhouette, you head into the dorm building.

dainsleif 

every year on a special day, the princess of khaenri’ah would hold a grand ball to celebrate the founding of the nation and all of its people would attend despite knowing that the gods may decide to launch an attack. this year, everything went as planned. the princess announced the ball, and your childhood friend dainsleif asked you out to the ball. you had adored him ever since you could comprehend emotions and the joy you felt when he asked you out was immaculate. alas, that joy was only short-lived.

time was up. this was the wrath of the gods. khaenri’ah was disappearing, getting crumbled to nothing but ashes. the day of divine judgement had finally come. you could only hold your breath as you watched everything get reduced to soot. why did it have to be this year when everything finally started to look good for you? why couldn’t it be last year, or the next? you didn’t know, no one knew.

people were screaming and crying, embracing each other for the last time, running away from the falling ceiling. bodies were everywhere, and yet among the chaos that unveiled around you, a familiar yet endearing voice got your attention. you turned around as his soft, warm hands clasped around your cold, clammy ones.

“y/n, why are you still here? didn’t I tell you to seek shelter?”

“dainsleif…w-where is the princess? Is she safe?” you called out. he had returned. as soon as the sound of the first explosion resonated in your ears, dainsleif had left you to check on her highness’s safety, being her twilight Sword.

“i could not find her highness or any trace of her so i assume she had already got to safety… y/n, will you have this last dance with me?”

it caught you off-guard. the weight of his fingertips felt feather-light against yours, asking your hand for the final dance both of you could share. the music was still playing in the background amidst the havoc. you and dainsleif both knew that this would be the final time you could see each other (him being immortal and all). you could see the regret in his eyes but you still swayed to the rumbling as if you hadn’t noticed. he did the same. those dazzling teal orbs never left yours as he elegantly avoided the falling pieces of ceiling and all while waltzing with you.

music you known too well accompanied the bittersweet dance. he smiles, and so do you. when you could no longer delay and run from death, and as the huge piece of quartz that started to crumble off the wall from the sides, the warmth of dainsleif’s breath touched against your ear. feeling something wet staining your shoulder and the pain that was slowly getting worse, you pulled him into the final and warm embrace, soothing his lonely cries. you wiped his tears away and caressed his face.

“i’m sorry. i’m sorry i couldn’t spend more time with you. i’m sorry i couldn’t tell you how i felt sooner. i’m sorry for leaving you alone like this. i love you so much, dainsleif…thank you.”

“i love you too, y/n. i always will.”

oh how he longed to see you after those 500 years. everyday, he never fails sit by your gravestone to tell you what he has been up to. he knows that you are still with him, watching over him in the stars. as he makes his decision to join the abyss order, he looks at your portrait.

“come back..please..”

Asdfghjkl;; I’ve never done this before but what about a HC about the teams reactions to their manager getting hit on- tysm!💜

Agsjodkd yes! I love manger and team fics so much, anywho you didn’t say which teams so I just picked some, if you want some others then definitely request them and I’ll try my best!

Sorry these took so long my brain sucks

ofc I’m doing Inarizaki first,,,I love them

After a quick win against a team who’s name you couldn’t be bothered to remember you heard Osamu grumble about wanting some bubble team

You then suggested all everyone should go get some, Kita agreed saying it would be good team bounding. You jumped and grabbed his hand pulling him the little shop you had spotted before the game, the rest of the team following

Suna took a picture of the two of you, it was a cute scene after all

The guy at the counter was rather flirty when you asked which was the best flavour, trying to stray from your regular order

He shot you a wink as he went to make your drink, writing his number on the cup telling you to text him as he passed it to you

Atsumu notices and started clinging to you, basically begging for your attention

Osamu slapped him upside the head “Oi don’t be annoying or Y/N might just go running to bubble boy.”

“Bubble boy? You’re both too much...” Aran grumbled before ordering

“You’re telling me. This is why Aran is my favourite.” You state as you join Kita, Suna and Akagi at the table. Aran only grinned at the twins yelling in protest

The twins came running over once they got their drinks demanding to know where everyone stood on your favourites list

You joked “whoever let’s try a sip of their tea is my new favourite”

Each boy was quick to hold their drink towards you, you blinked in surprise, even Suna and Kita had done it

“Jeez what’s gotten into you guys?”

“It’s because that boy was flirting with you.” Suna said with a hint of bitterness as you reach for his drink, a matcha tea

Omimi pouted cause he had the same flavour

Osamu shoved his drink in your face, now this was surprising, the twin never willingly shared his food

Atsumu was quick to beg you to try his next, clearly upset that you tried his brothers first

Kita half glared at the two for causing a ruckus

Does this still count as team building?

Nekoma would surprisingly be the most chill-minus Yamamoto of course

Practice matches are a constant for Nekoma; as manager you tend to interact with lots of other managers

One team had a practically boisterous manager, he was a little touchy too, not quite over the line but enough to make you squirm

Kuroo is quick to pick up on it as the match ended, sauntering over with a very fake smile

“Hey Y/N you ready to go?” You eagerly nod but found you couldn’t get far with the managers hand grabbing your wrist

“Awe but we haven’t exchanged contacts yet” he pouted

“I wouldn’t count on that happening either!” A snarl from Yamamoto called from behind you

Oh god you didn’t want to make a scene, but the intimidating glare from the gathering team was enough to make the boy drop your wrist

Yaku was quick to pick up things you were meant to tote and tugged on your sleeve to pull you away

“Tora you’re being weird again.” Kenma spoke trying to calm the second year, seeing as Kuroo was preoccupied in a staring contest with the flirt manager

Lev was starting to mirror Yamamoto

Yaku yelled that the bus would leave without him if he didn’t get his freakishly tall ass out of gym, still pulling you away from the gaggle

Kai picked up where Kenma left off wrangling the now feral Yamamoto

You made a mental note to avoid other boys when the team was near because this was pure chaos

Fukunaga starting walking with you and Yaku mumbling something about wishing he had a mop bucket, you giggle at the mental image

He blushed fukunaga supremacy ahsj I love him so much

On the bus ride back to the school they all seemed much to happy with themselves

You baked them cookies as a thank you nonetheless; Kuroo and Yamamoto teared up, bumbling words about you being too kind

Ohh seijoh my first loves~

During the practice match with Karasuno you were a little bored, Oikawa was still missing so the team was playing with less than their true potential

You went to refill the water bottles, waiting for the grey haired crow to finish with his. He apologized for hogging the fountain, you waved him off saying it wasn’t a big deal

Conversation flowed from there, his name was Sugawara you found, he was good company

“Ne Y/N-chan what are you doing out here?” Turning to finding Oikawa half glaring, half pouting. “How am I suppose to win the match without my favourite manager cheering me on, huh?”

“I’m your only manager Oikawa!” You sent Suga a smile and wave before walking off with the captain

“Tch I’m gone for half a practice and you find another setter”

“Stop pouting, I’ll tell Iwaizumi that your causing trouble again!”

After the match Oikawa made a big fuss about your subtle flirting, the team was rather surprised

Makki and Matsukawa gathered on either side of you slinging an arm other your shoulders, making some joke about you finding a prettier setter

You give them both a quick jab to their sides, this only added to their laughing

Oikawa yelled in protest, Yahaba grumbled saying he was just as pretty, Iwa throw a volleyball towards the brunettes head

You look at Kunimi who was rolling his eyes, Kindaichi was beside him saying how glad he was that it wasn’t Kageyama you were talking with, you giggled in agreement

“For the record my type is much more inclined to aces, you guys don’t need to worry so much” you shoot a smug look as you walk towards a flushed Iwaizumi

“You’ll walk me home yeah?” He grumbled but held out his arm for you to grab

“Y/N-chan! You wound me so!!”

not sure if you do aus but consider: barista! childe who pours hot coffee onto himself because he was too distracted making goo goo eyes at the cutie that just walked through the door

I’m making this into short hcs I have no self control. So weak... so weak for coffee shop aus... They are jumbled thoughts though don’t take them seriously. :’))

Love sick puppy, totally gets distracted when he sees you walk through that door. He grins from ear to ear trying to catch your attention but ends up spilling the drink in his hands, making a fool of himself.

The scene made you approach him in slight panic, asking if he’s okay. “Yeah, I’m fine, this? It’s nothing.” He laughs, acting like the boiling liquid on his shirt doesn’t exist. He leans on the counter with a smile, pretending everything’s completely cool. He’s cute though.

Writes sweet words on your drinks. It started with leaving hearts on your cup to complimenting your smiles to asking you for hangouts. It became a way for you two to communicate, something that was exclusive to the two of you.

If you were there before his shift by any chance, he’d bring a cake to your table just so he can slip his little notes to you.

Actually, even if you were there during his shift, he’d still give you add ons, packs you an extra snack or two.

When he’s not serving customers, you’ll see his not-so-subtle flirting from his station. He’d give you a playful wink whenever your eyes meet, the bright smile never leaving his face.

HELLO HELLo ANYONE WANNA BE MOOTS????

THEY GAVE CHILDE A BIGGER TUMMY WINDOW AND ABS FDHGALDIFGDFSIG anyways, happy birthday bby lysm <3
