I don't even know how to title this one, it's the one tiktok texting trend where someone accuses their s/o of being in someone else's car and sends them a pic of a cockroach instead. That's literally it.

Tanaka x Reader: Puzzle Pieces

Requested by a lovely anon: hello!! i hope you’re doing well :) tbh i’ve been having a sucky day because multiple people have commented on my short height (~4’11) all day and it’s been making me really sad, could you do tsukki and maybe tanaka (separately) comforting fem reader about their height insecurity? tysm!! <3

A/N: Hi! Thank you for requesting!! This is sooooo late (I’m so sorry) but I hope this makes up your sucky day… I chose to do Tanaka because he’s kind of underrated I feel. I’ve had a couple people ask for Tanaka stuff with no prompt so take this longer piece! I hope that’s alright <3

All day you hadn’t stopped getting the comments. All day your mood had plummeted due to their basic and uncreative way of poking fun. Of course, you were used to them, but today, for some reason they hit harder. The way the same group of people would poke fun at your height irritated you, but today you had had enough.

Couldn’t they just go away?

You never aggravated it, or gave them a reason to do it, but they did. Ignoring them had gone on too long, and it hadn’t done anything. Your only escape was your boyfriend. The time you spent together distracted you, Tanaka’s energy always knowing how to cheer you up.

Slowly, you were walking home, Tanaka stalking along in front of you. He bounced with each of his words, trying to entertain you with his stories about the mischief he got into with Nishinoya. He didn’t notice the way you were slouching your walk and forcing a fake smile. You made sure to look happy whenever he turned around to make sure you were there.

“And Yuu got stuck in the net! You can imagine how mad Daichi was! I swear, he was going to kill him,” Tanka whipped around to see your fake smile, but it flew completely over his head.

You nodded with a hum, “Yeah, I can imagine, babe.”

Tanaka stopped in his tracks, arms dropping to his sides. The sudden pause of his animation made you think he had finally caught up and noticed your shift in mood.

He allowed you to catch up, Tanaka then swung his arm around your shoulders. Crushing you against his side, he cackled.

“Come on, beautiful! You’re being slow today! Are you sore or something?”

“No, my bag’s just heavier than usual,” you told a half- lie.

Half of you wanted to just tell him, craving the comfort he would treat you to in order to make you feel better and forget about the disappointments of the day. However, you wanted to see if Tanaka could notice something was off himself. Academically, sure, he wasn’t smart. But, you had hope that he had a strong intuition, being a volleyball player, and all.

Tanaka grabbed the strap of your bag, tugging it off your shoulder.

“Here,” he announced, “I’ll carry it for you. My beautiful lady deserves for her man to carry her things!”

Your bag was thrust onto his shoulder, so now only the touch of his arms around your shoulders lingered. Physically, you felt slightly relieved, and his compliment made you smile a real smile for the first time that day.

“Why so formal?” You giggled, distracting yourself from the constant bad thoughts in the back of your mind.

“Because you’re my queen!” Tanaka exclaimed loudly, kissing the top of your head.

Your flaming insecurity made you hyperaware of the way he bent down to kiss you. What stuck out the most was that it wasn’t even your lips he kissed, but the very top of your head. Your boyfriend had to bend down just to reach the highest point on your body.

You let him continue his stories all the way home, laughing occasionally to mask your feelings. Rounding the corner to his house, you found yourself falling behind again. Tanaka’s arm around your shoulder dragged you forward. Helping you up to the front door, Tanaka continued to muse you with stories.

“Welcome home!” Tanaka exclaimed, unlocking the door swinging it open.

Smiling to yourself, you let Tanaka lead you inside. Changing shoes, the two of you headed up his stairs to his bedroom. The stairs creaked slightly, Tanaka reaching for your hand.

“Come on,” Tanaka ushered you, “I know you want to study but I think we should just watch some movies and get some snacks, how about that?”

You shrugged, “I don’t mind.”

“Great!” Tanaka turned into his room and pushed you inside. He dropped your bag at the door, before turning on his heal. “I’ll go get snacks! Help yourself to my hoodies…”

Before you could protest, he had hurried down the stairs. Giggling, you searched around to find the hoodie you always wore. It was one that you made sure he didn’t wash too often so that it smelt like him whenever you put it on. Dropping to your knees, you felt around on the floor under his bed. Your fingers felt the soft fabric and you smiled. Grabbing the hoodie, you stood on your feet and stripped your shirt. You slipped into the hoodie and caught sight of yourself in the reflection of Tanaka’s mirror.

His hoodie completely ingulfed you. Normally, you’d like the feeling of being wrapped up in the scent of your boyfriend, but seeing how it dropped to your knees just reminded you of the comments that had been bouncing around you recently.

Continuing to face the mirror, you backed up against the doorframe. Placing your hand on the top of your head, you measured yourself against the wood. You stood on your tippy toes, watching as it appeared for you to grow. Tears stung your eyes as you raised your hand to measure how tall you thought Tanaka was against you.

Pitifully, you frowned at your reflection.

You ignored the footsteps that hurried back up the stairs towards you, too concentrated on the tiny figure in the mirror. Tanaka’s face popped up in the mirror beside you, sneaking his arms around your waste.

“Hey, queen Y/N…” Tanaka mumbled into your hair, “What are you looking at?”

“Oh, nothing…”

“No, you’re lying. Who said what to you?! I thought you were quiet on the way home! I swear I’ll—”

“They made fun of my height…” You mumbled, afraid that Tanaka would find the reason for your downcast face to be stupid.

Tanaka pouted, twisting you around so that he hugged to you to your chest. Suffocating in his jacket, you squeezed your eyes shut to stop the tears from flowing.

“No, Y/N, I love your height!” Your boyfriend begun swaying you, “I can squeeze you, and cuddle you, and completely ingulf you in my sweaters! You’re so cute~”

You shook your head against his chest, but he grabbed your arms and thrust them over his shoulders. Knowing what he wanted to do, you held on, allowing for Tanaka to pick you up and carry you to his bed.

“If you weren’t so small an adorable… how would I be able to do this?”

Suddenly, he tossed you onto his bed. You bounced onto the mattress, slightly annoyed but not being able to help the laugh as he approached you with his arms out.

“Hey!” You cried out, as Tanaka’s fingers found your sides.

He tickled you relentlessly, you trying to squirm away. You didn’t get far as Tanaka grabbed your ankle, dragging you across the bed. Diving onto you, Tanaka cackled.

“No!” You laughed, struggling to get away.

Even though the size different was unfair, you began to realise that you liked how he could completely engulf you. Having him with you made you feel safe, and you didn’t want to part with him.

Finally, the attack stopped once you both ran out of breath. Tanaka’s arms and legs wrapped around you, rolling you to your side. He rested his chin on your head.

“Don’t listen to anyone except me when talking about your height, you got that?” Tanaka fiddled with your hair, “Because you’re adorable and I love you.”

The tears that had once welled in your eyes and dried up completely. You were satisfied with Tanaka’s response, even though it took him a while to notice. The way you lied on his bed with his behind you  just proved how you two fit together like two puzzle pieces. Height aside, everything about the two of you being together just made sense.
