This.
Since we're all gonna die, there is one more secret I feel I have to share with you-
I did not care for Dabi.
Right and why is he in every episode too like omg you're not the main character
watching My hero acadamia season 5- why are they making me gaf about Endeavor ? đ€š
012. grudges, growth, and you â yaku morisuke.
wc: 0.6k cw: gn!reader. enemies to lovers <3 a/n: i've never particularly favored yaku, but this makes me like him a little more haha <3 i hope you enjoy! requested by @rumik09 and @solvisun
youâve known yaku since you were six, and youâve wanted to throw a dodgeball at his face since approximately the second week.
he called you a cheater during p.e. and you spent the rest of elementary school making his life mildly inconvenient. swapping his indoor shoes. hiding his pencil case. once, in fifth grade, you signed him up for the school play and gave him the role of âtalking tree #3.â he never forgave you.
in return, he told your entire class you had a crush on the music teacher.
by middle school, your war had quieted into occasional eye-rolls and passive-aggressive comments.
by high school, it had become something stranger.
âyouâre short,â you tell him in second year.
âyouâre loud,â he snaps back.
you share a math class. he borrows your notes once when heâs sick and grumbles out a âthanksâ like it burns his throat.
you shrug. âyouâd do the same.â
he stares at you like youâve said something deeply offensive.
âi wouldnât,â he mutters.
but next week, when youâre out with a fever, he drops off your homework at your front gate without saying anything.
you find out because your mom tells you a âtiny blonde boy with a very serious faceâ came by.
you text him: that was weirdly nice of you.
he replies: shut up or iâll take it back.
in third year, he becomes someone you text when you canât sleep.
not often. just⊠sometimes.
on nights when the pressure feels too loud or your brain wonât shut up. you donât say anything serious. just little things.
what if we all just dropped out and became frogs.
he replies three minutes later: you wouldnât survive the winter. frogs donât have heaters.
you laugh into your pillow and think maybe this thing between you isnât war anymore.
you end up at the same college.
not on purpose.
just luck. or bad luck. depending on the day.
you spot him across campus during orientation and your heart does something weird.
you donât say hi.
he does.
âoh great,â he mutters, falling into step beside you like itâs inevitable. âyou again.â
you grin. âmissed me?â
âlike a cavity.â
but his smile lingers a little too long.
you grow into something real slowly.
too slowly, maybe.
he makes tea for you when youâre up late studying. never coffee. he says it makes your hands shake.
you throw a pillow at him once for memorizing your class schedule. he throws it back and adds a blanket over your shoulders before leaving your dorm.
neither of you says the word for it.
not until third year.
youâre on the floor of his apartment, surrounded by snack wrappers and overdue assignments. youâve been laughing for twenty minutes about a terrible movie.
your face hurts. your stomach aches.
heâs looking at you with this expression like he canât believe youâre real.
you stop laughing.
he doesnât.
âwhat,â you say, suspicious.
ânothing,â he says, but his ears go pink.
you sit up. âwhat?â
he sighs. presses a hand to his face.
âi used to hate you,â he mumbles.
âi know.â
âlike, really hate you.â
âyeah. you made that clear.â
he glances at you. then away.
âi donât anymore.â
you go quiet.
âokay,â you say finally.
âokay,â he repeats.
you stare at each other.
then you say it.
not dramatic. not heavy. not a confession.
just honest.
âi donât hate you either.â
his face breaks into something unsure and bright and so very yaku.
and when he leans in, you donât flinch.
you kiss like youâre still unsure what to call this thing between you.
but itâs soft. and a little clumsy. and warm.
after, he doesnât say anything.

010. shoelaces, coolers, and umbrellas â akaashi keiji.
wc: 0.5k cw: gn!reader. akaashi keiji is a helpful man <3 a/n: i hate when people forget akaashi is canonically weird, but at the same time i have a specific vision of him in my head that i cant let go of. i hope you enjoy <3 requested by @thewhispersofthewaves
itâs the last evening of a week-long joint training camp between nekoma and fukurodani. the gym smells like floor polish and sweat, volleyballs scattered across the floor, jerseys sticking to backs. the air is thick with noise â lev yelling across the court, bokuto celebrating after a spike, yamamoto getting scolded for the third time for trying to show off.
youâre used to it by now. half manager, half unofficial peacekeeper. you refill water bottles, tape fingers, make sure no one forgets their knee pads or their dignity. itâs been nonstop since morning, but you donât mind. not really.
youâve been exchanging glances with fukurodaniâs setter all week. not on purpose. itâs just that every time you look up, heâs already looking your way. akaashi is quiet. efficient. a little weird. the only one who hasnât added to the chaos. he thanks you every time you pass him a towel. always bows a little deeper than necessary.
you catch him watching you when you scold yamamoto for throwing a water bottle at kenma. you donât say anything.
later, you trip over your own shoelace near the bench.
heâs there before you can blink, already crouching, already steadying you and double-knotting your laces.
"you were due for that," he says.
you flush. "are you calling me clumsy?"
"iâm calling it a statistical inevitability."
you laugh, flustered. he smiles (barely, but it counts).
by the time practice winds down, most of the boys have already vanished into the locker rooms. the gym quiets. youâre packing up the med kit alone when footsteps approach.
"need a hand?" akaashi asks.
you blink up. "iâm okay. just wrapping up."
he crouches beside you anyway, folding ice packs into the cooler without needing instruction. you pack in comfortable silence.
rain begins to hammer against the windows.
you glance up. "great. i didnât bring an umbrella."
he zips his duffle. then, without a word, pulls out a compact black umbrella and presses it into your hand.
"but youâll get soaked."
"iâve got a hoodie."
you hesitate. then take it, fingers brushing his.
"thanks, akaashi."
"anytime."
you both move to the entrance. the gym lights flicker behind you, the last echo of sneakers fading. rain pours in sheets now, wind tugging at loose strands of your hair.
he stands beside you, not quite touching. close enough.
"do you want to wait it out?" he asks.
you shake your head. "better to go now, before it gets worse."
you shift your bag, glance up at him. "thanks for earlier. for the shoelaces. and the cooler."
"youâre always doing something for everyone else," he says. "itâs easy to want to help."
you donât know what comes over you, but before your nerves can catch up, you lean up and press a kiss to his cheek. soft. quick.
he goes still. then â a beat later â he meets your eyes. his gaze softens.
"...that was nice," he says quietly.
you smile, tugging the umbrella open. "guess youâll have to keep helping me, then."
he watches you step into the rain.
and even with the wind pulling at your sleeves â you swear you feel his warmth linger, just behind you.

I call him "Izuku" as if we're friends đ
Iâve grown out of calling Midoriya âDekuâ. Iâve become..

Light in the dark
Synopsis: you never really had friends until Hinata showed up. But getting scared of the unfamiliar warmth you push him away.
Cw: nb!reader (however reader is described a nos 'pretty'), reader is dense, mutual pining but it might seem one-sided, misunderstanding, strangers to friends to lovers, angst, hurt/comfort, fluff, Hinata might be a bit ooc at the end.

Not beta read!
You were a genius, excelling effortlessly in every subject, acing all your exams with ease, answering every question correctly, and turning in your homework well before deadlines.
That was initially why he asked you to tutor him (well it might have been because of his crush on you as well). You were Hinataâs classmateâ pretty, a bit quieter than most, and hella smart. So he was understandably a bit nervous when he walked up to your desk. His cheeks flushed as he cleared his throat and asked if you could help him understand some of the material for the upcoming exam. When you looked up at him and gave a brief, curt nod his heart pounded a little faster.
That was the beginning of your study sessions. Twice a week, after school or during free periods, you met up at the quiet corner of the library and you would help him with his studies.
Now, of course Hinata was grateful for your help, but he found it surprisingly hard to concentrate on the lessons rather than on your faceâyour calm expression, the way your eyes focused intently on the book or notes in front of you. But after you gave him a good smack on the back of his head for not paying attention, he tried much harder to actually listen to your explanations.
As the weeks went by, your study sessions became a regular part of Hinataâs routine. He started to look forward to themânot just because he was eager to talk to you more, but because he wanted to actually improve his grades and make you proud, impress you. You were patientâ well, mostly patientâexplaining concepts in a way that made even the most confusing topics seem manageable. Hinata found himself enjoying your company a lot. He started noticing how your eyes lit up when you finally saw him understand something new. How your voice softened when you explained a tricky problem. And despite his initial nervousness, Hinata found himself relaxing around you more and more. He even started sitting next to you during lunch. You didnât talk much, but he didnât mind filling the silence himself. Sometimes heâd ramble about volleyball, trying to share his passion, maybe impress you with all his tricks. He even invited you to come see his practice matches. You always nodded along and if he got really lucky you would smile at a joke he cracked.
So, It was safe to say that Hinata considered you a friends.And deep down, he hoped that maybe, just maybe, you thought of him as more than just a student needing help
One afternoon, after a particularly long session on calculus, Hinata packed up his things slowly, rubbing the back of his head where you had given him a gentle but firm slap earlier.
âThanks for helping me,â he grinned, âI really appreciate it.â
You looked up from your notes and offered a small, rare smile. âNo problem. Just donât forget the formulas. Iâm going to give you a quiz next weekâ.
Hinata chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his neck. âYeah⊠Iâll try my best.â, he hesitated again before speaking.
âHey⊠um⊠do you wanna grab some snacks or something? My treat!â
You blinked a few times, your face expressionless, before responding,
âWe just ate though.â
Hinataâs face fell slightly, but he quickly recovered with a sheepish smile. âOh⊠right. Yeah, I guess thatâs true.â
For the smartest person in the library, you were astonishingly dense when it came to certain social cues or obvious hints. And sure, Hinata had encountered very dense people beforeâhe saw Kageyama every day, after all. And he wasnât the sharpest tool in the shed himself. But your level of obliviousness completely baffled him.
âYâknow, If I could choose anyone to be my teacher forever, itâd be you. Youâre so cool and smart and awesome!â he says, trying to fill the awkward silence you didnât seem to notice. He gestures animatedly, trying to make his words feel natural, but there's a hint of nervousness behind his enthusiasm. His eyes sparkle with admiration, though he remains blissfully unaware of the subtle reactionâor lack thereofâfrom his tutor.
âThank you but I sincerely hope that you wonât be needing a tutor for that long.â You simply shrugged.
Now Hinata was as stubborn as he was determined, and that meant he wasnât giving up on trying to ask you out. You hadnât exactly rejected him, so he still had a chance, right?
The next day, Hinata arrived a little later than usual, a bright smile stretched across his face, eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. He calls out your name as he spots you at your usual table, earning a threatening look from the librarian. He completely ignores her, his steps were light and eager as he made his way toward your usual table. He fidgeted slightly with his sleeve, trying to contain his excitement.
You greet him as he sits down next to you.
âHi! Sorry Iâm a bit late. Also did you hear thereâs a new movie coming out this weekend? I happen to have two tickets for it!â He says all in one breath, almost radiating in excitement. His voice was loud enough to turn a few heads, but he paid no mind.
You gave him a smile, barely noticeable, âI see. I hope you have fun with the friend youâre going with.â
Hinata blinked several times in confusion, tilting his head slightly as if trying to process what you just said.
âFriend? Wha- No, I meantâ Ah, nevermindâŠâ
He hesitated for a moment before realizing it was too late; you had already opened your textbooks and turned your attention back to studying, leaving Hinata sitting there with a slightly awkward expression.
The sun had long dipped below the horizon, casting a soft twilight over the school grounds. The air grew cooler as you both stepped outside, your footsteps echoing softly on the pavement..Your study session had stretched out for longer than usual and it was getting dark already. Hinata looked up at the sky before glancing at you with a soft smile.
âThe moon is really beautiful today, huh?â he said softly, trying to sound casual. He mentally cringed at how cheesy it sounded but hoped maybe youâd finally catch on.
You looked up as well, tilting your head slightly. After a moment of silence, you shrugged lightly, âSeems the same as always to me.â
âAhaha.. yeah, I guess youâre right..Hey, arenât you cold? Let me give you my jersey!â
âNo need, I have a jacket in my bag.â You shook your head gently, reaching into your bag to pull out your jacket.
Hinata sighed deeply, a faint frown crossing his face as he looked down at his shoes. His shoulders sagged just slightly. He had been trying so hard all day to get your attention, to find some way to make you see how much he liked you.
Maybe⊠maybe you just werenât interested after all.
He forced a bright smile again and nodded cheerfully before waving at you as you parted ways.
That was the moment he started growing distant. The change was subtle at first, almost easy to overlook..
As you entered the classroom, you glanced around, expecting to hear Hinataâs voice call out your name while he cheerfully waved as usual, but he was already seated at his desk, head down, eyes focused on his notebook.
During lunch, the lively chatter and shared jokes that once filled your table were replaced by silence, before he stopped sitting next to you at the empty cafeteria table altogether.
When break time came, you instinctively reached for your wallet and looked toward the vending machine, expecting him to offer to buy you juice like he always did. But he didnât. Instead, he simply stayed in his seat, fixed on his phone or talking to his other classmates.
The most noticeable shift was in your study sessions. Once a regular routine where Hinata eagerly arrived early, now was missing. The last few times, he was nowhere to be seen when you arrived.
The first time it happened you reached out with a âwhere are you?â message to which he responded with Volleyball practice is taking longer today, wonât make it today. Sorry :( â.
Hinata always made an effort to be there; that was unusual.
A few days later, another message appeared:
âCanât come today.â It was brief, almost dismissive.
And then it turned into no response to your texts at all. No explanations. You stared at your phone, feeling a mix of worry and confusion. Have you done something wrong? Was he avoiding you? You sighed softly, glancing at the empty chair across from you in the study corner.
You were never good at expressing your feelings. You were always quiet, closed off, cold, never really speaking your mind. It took a long time for you to open up to someone, and most people didnât have the patience for that. Thatâs why you didnât really have friends. Most days, you moved through school like a ghost in the background. You had a few acquaintancesâpeople who said hi in passing or shared notesâbut no one you could really call a friend. Not someone you could confide in or lean on when things got tough.
That was until Hinata appeared. Bright-eyed, eager to talk, quick to smileâeven when others might have ignored him. He didnât seem to mind your quietness; instead, he seemed to see past it. He approached you without hesitation, always trying to include you in conversations or activities. His genuine kindness was something you werenât used to, and at first, it made you uncomfortableâlike an unfamiliar warmth that you didnât quite know how to handle.
You still struggled to find the right words sometimes. When classmates asked about your weekend or how you felt about a test, youâd respond with a quiet shrug or a simple nod. But Hinata always listened patiently, never rushing you.
it took time for you to trust him with even small things. Yet somehow, he never pushed too hard or made you feel pressured. Somehow, you grew to like him.
He became more than just someone who sat beside you in class or helped with homework; he became the reason why maybe someday, opening up wouldnât be so terrifying after all.
Except now he was gone. Did he grow tired of you just like everyone else did? You feared everything would go back to how it was beforeâliving in the shadows, avoiding conversations, hiding behind silence because it was easier than risking rejection or pain.
You took a deep breath and tried to gather your thoughts. Inside, you battled conflicting feelingsâfear of losing him forever and hope that somehow, things could be fixed. You wanted to understand why he leftâand if there was any chance to bring him back.
You stood up from your seat at the library and headed straight to the gym.
Confrontation was never your strongest quality, but you couldnât risk losing the only person who cared for you.
Your heart pounded in your chest as you pushed open the door, each step feeling heavier than the last. Tears started dwelling in your eyes, you tried blinking them away. Your mind was racing, trying to figure out what went wrong, trying to remember what you could have said to upset him. Did you push him away without meaning to? Did you do something that offended him?
You didnât realize that you were already walking up to the gym until the door swung open, causing you to snap out of your thoughts.
Hinata's eyes met yours as his smile faltered. The silence stretched between you two before he finally spoke, his voice quiet,
âWhyâwhy are you here?â
You swallowed hard, trying to find the right words.
âBecause I donât want to lose you.â
There was another long pause of silence but you forced yourself to continue,
âWhy did you leave meâŠ?â Your voice trembled slightly, but your gaze stayed steady. This really wasnât easy for youâfar from itâyet this moment felt necessary.
Hinata looked away for a second, his jaw tightening as he struggled with his own feelings. The air between you was thick. He looked back at you, his expression guilty.
âI⊠I thought I was bothering you,â he admitted softly, his voice trembling. âI thought you didnât want me near you anymore. So I⊠I left because I didnât want to be a burden.â
His eyes searched yours, seeking some sign of understanding.
You took a step closer, your voice gentle,
âI just⊠I didnât know how to tell you how much you mean to me. And I was scared of losing youâso scared that I might have pushed you away without even realizing it.â
You paused, feeling the weight of everything you needed to say. âPlease donât think I donât care. Because I doâmore than anything.â
Hinata took a slow, hesitant step forward, his eyes fixed on yours.
âI never wanted to hurt you. I just⊠I was scared too. Scared of losing what we had, scared of being too much.â His voice cracked slightly.
You both stood there for a moment longer, holding onto each otherâs gaze.
Then, almost instinctively, you both spoke at the same timeâ âIâm sorry.â
Hinataâs expression mirrored your shock. For a moment, neither of you moved.
Suddenly, Hinataâs face broke into a soft, nervous smile. Without thinking, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around you in a gentle hug. You felt his warmth and hesitated for just a second before returning the embrace.
He let out a surprised chuckle, a sound that was both nervous and relieved. âWow,â he whispered softly into your hair. âGuess weâre both sorry⊠maybe thatâs a good place to start.â

Synopsis:
You wake up in the library with Tsukishima's jacket draped over you. You realize maybe he doesn't hate you as much as you thought he did.
Cw: gn!reader, college au, academic rivals to more(?), tsukishima is kind of a tsundere, silly banter
Wc: 0.8k
Not beta read!
Tsukushima Kei was a jerk, you knew that. You knew that from the moment you had met him.
At first he didnât pay any mind to you. Hell, he probably didnât even know you existed. That was until he saw your name above his on the results board.
Two points. You had passed him by two pointsâ and thatâs when he started noticing you.
As you hurriedly shuffled through your bag for your notebook, your phone slipped from your grasp and clattered loudly onto the floor.
A few heads turned, and you quickly bent down to retrieve it. Just as you did, a sharp voice sneered behind you.
âDid you drop your brain along with that?â
He leaned slightly over his desk, eyes glinting with amusement as he pointed at the red 87/100 inked on the corner of your paper on your desk. âHere I thought I had competition.â
At first, you genuinely thought he hated youâhis snarky comments and dismissive attitude made that pretty clear. But after a few similar encounters, you started to realize that he saw this as a game in which he wanted to prove he was better than you. Once you figured that out you started treating it like a game. And soon you learnt that irritating him was incredibly fun.
Now, you and Tsukishima werenât friendsâfar from itâbut you werenât enemies either. You could even have a decent chat once in a while (though not without some banter). Still, being in the same course meant constant competition. As exhausting as it was sometimes, it also kept you motivated to study harder. If it werenât for this rivalry you would be slacking off a lot more. But you didnât. Not when he made sure to drop a snarky comment whenever you got a question wrong; in return, whenever you scored higher than him on an exam or assignment, you'd make sure to rub it in his face just as much.
So yes, Tsukishima was a jerk. He was dry, sarcastic, and lacked any redeeming qualities. Heâd slam the door right in front of your face if you were walking behind him, he would purposefully bump his shoulder into yours in the hallway just to annoy you. Which is why it was a complete surprise when you woke up in the library with a jacket draped over your shoulders. A jacket that definitely wasnât yours.
Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Turning your head slightly, you saw Tsukishima sitting on your left, focused on some assignment.
Huh. That was odd. He only sat next to you if the library was full.
Feeling your confused gaze on him, his usual cold eyes met yours, his indifference unchanged.
âYouâre awake,â he stated flatly before turning back to his work. âIf you keep dozing off instead of actually studying, you wonât even have a chance of passing me on this assignment.â His eyes never left his notebook, but a smirk crept onto his face as he added, âNot that you ever had one to begin with. But keep dozing like that, and you'll definitely fail.â
You blinked a few times. Still feeling a bit drowsy but amused, you chuckled softly and shot him a smirk of your own, tilting your head slightly.
âIs the great Tsukishima worried about me falling behind? How sweet of you.â
He always liked teasing you. You always reacted to his taunts and that only fed his already humongous ego. But honestly? You liked teasing Tsukishima just as much.
âDonât worry your pretty little head about it,â you said with a playful grin. âIâm perfectly capable of beating you on this assignment. Actually, thatâs why I was nappingâI donât even need to do the assignment to pass you. Iâm just that good, yâknow.â You stretched your arms lazily and grinned wider.
Tsukishima just snorted, âRight.â
It was when the jack slipped from your shoulders as you stretched you remembered about it.
âEven made sure I wasnât cold. Truly a gentleman, Tsuki!â You picked it up with a giggle and handed it back to him.
He took it back with a scoff âOh please,â he dismissed, "you were shaking like a leaf on a tree. It was impossible to concentrate with the sound of your teeth chattering. And donât call me that.â
"Aww. Donât tell me your cold heart was warmed up by little olâ me. "
Tsukishima simply raised an eyebrow at your cheeky smile, clearly annoyed.
"Donât flatter yourself," he drawled in his usual condescending tone, "you were simply an inconvenience, nothing more."
You quietly smile to yourself, knowing he didnât really mean it. Because if he did, heâd be sitting anywhere else in the empty library, not right next to you.
Maybe Tsukishima Kei wasnât such a jerk after all.
