I’m completely obsessed with the idea of eddie who is so overwhelmingly head-over-heels infatuated with you. like it’s SO obvious to anyone who observes the way he is when you’re around, when you’re brought up in conversation, anything. he tries to be suave and chill and reserved, but he fails miserably (it’s not a bad thing though). his friends tease him lovingly when he cuts plans short for you, or when he gets that starry-eyed look when he talks about you, or when he follows you around like a puppy at any group outing. eddie is anything but subtle, he’s completely lovesick and it shows.
you cheer and clap from the stands as atsumu miya secures the last point of the game, finishing the set and winning the match for his team. the crowd roars, his school’s chant echoing throughout the venue. atsumu’s teammates pool around him as they celebrate their win, the boys forming a circle within themselves.
but his mind is occupied with the pretty girl he sees in the corner of his eye— you. he pulls away, muttering a quick “give me a second” to no one in particular.
he walks to you, head held high and he can’t help but puff his chest and shoulders a little bit. just a little.
“what’s a girl like you doin’ all alone?” he asks, and some of his teammates a few feet away yell. honestly, you’re not even sure if they’re cheering him on or booing him, but you do hear a whistle from behind.
light breaths of air escape your lips as you giggle, “i’m here for my boyfriend.”
and he scoffs, the smug bastard. “i don’t see him anywhere. looks like you’re all mine for tonight.” calloused hands reach over to you, his arms flexing subtly at the tenseness built up over the game.
“hmm, i don’t know…” you look down, swaying ever so slightly as you put up a bashful pretense.
the blonde laughs, his deep voice sending shivers down your spine as he traps you in an embrace. “you ‘nd your games,” he says, kissing your forehead.
you squeal and pull away to no avail, his large arms wrapping around you like a blanket. “you started it! ‘tsumu, you’re all sweaty!” you drag out the last syllable, half teasing. it was true, his jersey was halfway wet like he’d been caught in the rain.
“shhh, stop resisting. your boyfriend might see.” atsumu teases, all while continuing to pepper you with kisses. the noise from the crowd and his teammates are blocked out, atsumu’s world limiting itself to you and him only.
a pretty girl and a championship. looks like atsumu’s going home with two victories tonight.
bokuto post-match &&& ushijima post-match
Thinking about curling up in bed with your boy after a long day and he just squishes his face to your chest and sighs, knowing you’re the only thing he looks forward to on his way home 🚬
what comes from his mouth might as well be a foggy detection of echolocation to any other person, but luckily, it’s just your boyfriend. he’s got his cheek pressed against the fabric of your tshirt, eyes shut, bleached hair falling in messy tufts over the both of you. he does it again. “mmmphh.”
“KENMA,” you breathe, holding in a laugh to refrain from scaring him off. “I can’t understand a thing you’re saying.”
he lifts his face from your ribs, finally, staring up at you almost boredly. there’s a twitch to his brows that gives him away, a slight crease that whispers of his annoyance in the subtlest of ways. his narrowed eyes meet yours. “you find this funny.”
you’re half sputtering and half grinning by the time he’s finished his sentence, the knowledge that although he was correct it was in the most incorrect form of perception something that you couldn’t express. yes, it was funny, but not in the har-har, get a load of this guy way. it was in a look at my avoidant grump curled up on my chest like a needy cat, I should take a picture to remember this way. now that you thought of it, your eyes flickered to your phone on the side table.
“don’t.”
you huff.
“so you laugh in my face and expect me to let you exploit me as well?” he asks, almost playful interrogation flowing from him like honey. he could be a little sweeter if he really wanted it to apply, but you couldn’t ask for more. not when he was like this.
you brush a stray piece of hair from his face, not missing the way his expression softens at the ghost of touch. “not laughin’ at you. you’re just cute like this is all.”
the passive expression melts into pure embarrassment, and soon enough his face is a magnificent shade of pink before its being nuzzled into you again. “don’t say things like that.”
“but it’s true?” he can hear the smirk in your tone without raising his gaze.
his voice is muffled once again as he responds, “don’t care.”
“seems like you do.” you drawl, voice oddly sing-song in the quiet of the evening.
“shut up.”
a/n: missing reya hours.
Do you think he’s extra childish with Megumi to make him feel as safe to be a child as Geto did for him.
“Whatcha doing on my side of the bed, sweetheart?”
Eddie moves on autopilot, trading his work attire for a pair of sweats and a well-loved, oversized hoodie. He folds up the black bandana, placing it on the dresser for tomorrow before yanking the hair tie from his hair, letting his curls breathe for the first time in hours.
He moves to his side of the bed, stood in a stance that mirrors the one usually seen used by Steve, smiling as you burrow deeper into the pillows and blankets.
You dig your face harder into the fabric of his black pillowcase, breathing in the scent of Eddie marked there, where it’s strongest.
Warm vanilla mixed with something woodsy, a touch of lavender and something that is distinctly Eddie.
“Hm?”
He leans over, hair hanging in his face as he smiles down at you, dimples on display and nose scrunching just a bit.
You smile back, almost shyly, before whispering your reply.
“Missed you.”
His face softens even more, melting into a lovesick look before his mouth kicks up into another smirk.
He jumps back up, standing up straight with his arms spread wide, dramatically.
“Well, you’ve got the real deal here now.”
You snort as he waves his hands, silently asking you to move over a bit to let him in.
He crawls in next to you, legs tangling with yours, arms pulling you close as he gives you a gentle squeeze.
“Big sniffs, baby.”
The sounds of his giggling, as your nose seeks him out like a cat investigating something new, is music to your ears.
characters: ushijima, iwaizumi, sakusa
warnings: timeskip! also not beta-ed
note/s: i do not feel like writing a new piece rn so here's a lil repost from my old account (2)
(suna, atsumu, bokuto)
ushijima:
ushijima tried his hardest not to look as if he wasn't bored in the ongoing interview. well, he wasn't. but he has been told by their manager that his resting face looks very unapproachable.
he was fiddling with his fingers as the rest of his team members were answering fan questions. letting out a small smile whenever he finds some questions funny and the way that kourai reacts overdramatically.
"ah, here's a question for big boy, wakatoshi!" kourai announced as he squinted his eyes on the influx of questions.
"yes?" ushijima responded, sitting up a bit more upright.
"is your girlfriend single?" kourai bit his lip as he tried not to laugh at the question.
the spiker furrowed his eyebrows in thought.
"i do not have a girlfriend." was all he said.
the atmosphere was silent as the rest of his team looked at him in shock and mostly worry.
ushijima noticed and looked around the room to see the camera staff and team looking at him.
"what?"
"you just said..." kageyama trailed off, hesitant to continue.
"you broke it off with (y/n)?!" kourai interrupted.
ushijima frowned, as if that was the most absurd thing he heard.
"(y/n) and i are happily engaged. she is my fiancé." ushijima said plainly, as if he didn't just cause the live chat box to spam with shocked and congratulatory messages.
"and you didn't tell us?!" if anyone was the most offended, it would be kourai.
"i thought the ring was obvious. kageyama has told me it looked nice." the team's heads whipped to kageyama who spluttered on how he didn't know it was an engagement ring.
ushijima hummed. "it seems like i have not announced this."
"you think?" he hears kourai's retort but pretended not to.
"me and (y/n) are engaged, therefore, she is now my fiance and not my girlfriend." ushijima said to the camera. "i hope this clarifies my answer." a few more questions were answered, mostly questions in regards to you and ushijima’s engagement before the staff announced that the livestream was over.
“that was a terrible way of announcing that you are engaged.” he hears his captain mutter. ushijima nodded in acknowledgement before heading home to you who was waiting to scold him after watching the livestream.
iwaizumi:
the trainer didn’t know how he was roped into answering WIRED questions when he wasn’t the one in court. he was already halfway when the staff gave him a new board but he was shocked to see that it was filled with questions not about him, but about you.
“your fans wanted to know about your relationship with (y/n).” hoots from outside the camera’s view were heard, iwaizumi internally sighed, knowing that this would be fuel for the team to tease their trainer.
“let’s get this over with.” the trainer says before ripping the first tape from the board. “is iwaizumi’s girlfriend… staged?” he gave a deadpan expression to the camera.
“(y/n) has been with me since we were third years, waited for me to return to japan after leaving for california and is currently living with me in our apartment. yes, our relationship is staged.” iwaizumi said sarcastically as he held the second tape by his fingertips.
“is iwaizumi’s girlfriend… oikawa’s ex. what?” he didn’t know whether the staff is being serious as he gave another unimpressed look.
“no, i’m her first boyfriend and the last.” he smirked at his promise, the staff already knew that that alone will become a trending snippet.
he answered a few more questions in haste, don’t get him wrong. he loves you but he would rather keep details about your relationship private.
“aight, last one.” iwaizumi ripped the last piece of tape off the board.
“is iwaizumi’s girlfriend… single?” he raised a brow at that question.
“where the hell are you getting these questions?” iwaizumi asked rhetorically. “these are the most searched questions about your girlfriend.” one of the staff answered him.
iwaizumi shook his head in disbelief. “wow… you’d think people actually unironically search for this.” he cleared his throat before looking straight at the camera.
“i’m going to say this for the last time. my girlfriend isn’t single and won’t be for the longest time before i make her my wife.” iwaizumi stated, voice clear as if he was determined.
the staff were clearly having a field day, knowing how much this episode will trend because of how whipped and dedicated the sought out trainer was for you.
the interview ended shortly. iwaizumi thanked the staff for having him only to be bombarded with a lot of comments filled with adoration towards your relationship. the trainer smiled before finishing up and heading home.
“you look happy.” you greet him by the door, iwaizumi scoffed playfully before pulling you by your waist and placing a soft kiss on your lips.
“of course i am, i come home to you.” iwaizumi thought of the comments from the staff, ‘marry her.’ was the comment that stuck to his mind.
he already had the ring in the bottom drawer, tucked away by his socks.
sakusa:
sakusa supposes that being an athlete involved having to deal with interviews. well, interviews that came with the sport, not whatever their team was currently doing.
sakusa, atsumu, hinata, and bokuto were sat down on chairs, a small metal bucket in the middle of them filled with numerous pieces of papers, printed tweets, to be exact.
“ooh, this is a good one! were bokuto and hinata close before msby?” bokuto read aloud before beaming at the camera and recollecting the memories from when they were in highschool.
“fun fact! we all knew each other in some way, waaaay back in high school.” bokuto said before atsumu and sakusa nodded in confirmation.
sakusa looked at the bucket as his teammates plucked random pieces of papers and answering them with ease. “why are sakusa’s wrists so flexible? please he could like… slap me and i would feel it twice in one motion. great, now all i’m thinking about it sakusa slapping me.” atsumu read aloud, voice turning a mocking pitch at the last sentence.
“it’s called hypermobility-” he paused as he saw bokuto and hinata look at him curiously. “otherwise known as being double-jointed. and no, i will not slap you. next tweet, please.”
“how boring, omi.” atsumu teased, sakusa rolled his eyes at the setter. “next. tweet.”
“okay, okay. calm down.” atsumu surrendered, bokuto plucked another piece of paper before reading it out loud.
“is sakusa’s girlfriend single? because i saw her in msby’s game against raijins and damn. if sakusa doesn’t wife her up immediately then i would gladly do the honors.” the whole room went silent after bokuto read the paper. the spiker’s eyes widened as he looked towards sakusa.
“i was only reading the tweet!”
“no. she isn’t, next question.” was only sakusa’s answer. his voice left no room for argument as atsumu hastily grabbed another piece of paper, moving on from the previous tweet.
the team believed that due to sakusa’s reaction, that segment would be removed. but to the surprise of everyone, it was part of the final cut and managed to blow up. the fans swooned on how territorial sakusa had been and there were a few feedbacks that sakusa’s eyes softened at the mention of your name in the video.
sakusa knew that, but he would never admit to it.
“so.” you start as you lie down next to your boyfriend as the both of you watch the interview. “territorial, huh.”
“you’re mine and you know it.” sakusa grumbled as he cuddled closer to your chest, watching the remaining few minutes.
“of course i am, ‘yoomi.” you reply, kissing the crown of his head and watching the interview once more.
Eddie Headcanons 2.
Eddie is a biter, he’ll just randomly bite you, he calls them “Love Bites”
When Eddie has to talk about how he feels, he’ll kinda cover it up with sarcasm or jokes (he kinda does this in Flight of Icarus)
When he’s sick he tries to act like he’s fine
“Edward, you are sick, we can go out when you feel better”
“Y/N, I am fine” sniffles
He loves big red
He can’t really swim, he just kinda flaps his arms and legs and it works?
Your voice comforts him
He likes when you trace his tattoos
He’s really protective over Dustin, because he knows what it feels like not having a present father and he makes sure Dustin knows he can come to him for anything
He likes dogs but he loves cats even though he’s probably allergic
He loves to talk about his fixations but he also really likes hearing other people talk about theirs
He loves to just randomly come up to you and kiss you all over your face fast
Wayne doesn’t mind Eddie smoking weed but he hates when he smokes it in the trailer
“Damnit Eddie! If your gonna smoke that shit, do it outside!”
He always has a hairtie on his wrist
He has freckles but in the summer you can see them alot more
He was in theater but thought it wasn’t “metal” so he quit, even though he was actually really good
He says the most uncalled for things
Him and Wayne go on fishing trips
He has horrible hearing (probably because he listens to his music way too loud)
He has a bunch of cool rocks he found in his drawer
He can burp the abc’s no problem
He likes sunsets more than sunrises
He burns so easily during summer
I just wanna sleep with Eddie. Climb into bed on a cold and breezy night where rain spatters against the window. There’s a pile of blankets to choose from, so neither of you end up having to hog only one.
A candle flickers in the dark room while you whisper sweet words to each other before blowing it out and finally catching sleep. He spoons you for a bit, legs tangling and untangling until you’ve moved to his chest half-asleep. Soft even breaths and the sound of a fan fill the room; the fuzzy blankets protecting you from the chill in the air. You’d both rather be cold and bundle up together.
His hand mindlessly rubs up and down your back until he’s totally drifted off himself, falling into sweet dreams he hasn’t had in years.
Choso sleeps. A lot.
It’s more than you would imagine for a man of his importance, yet for nearly three hours a day after getting to your place, he curls up on the couch, kicks his legs up and closes his pretty eyes to let his dreams take over and slumber wash over him.
It's cute. It's also just a little bizarre.
You always smile down at him, card a hand through his soft hair, plant a kiss to his forehead and lay a warm blanket over his shoulders to keep him warm.
His little snores ring in the air as you cook dinner, and when he wakes up with the smell of fresh food, he hooks his chin over your shoulder and wraps his arms around your torso with a sleepy smile.
Today, that cycle breaks.
You card your hand through his hair with a loving smile, lean down to press a kiss to his forehead, and-
Big, pretty eyes immediately blink open before you can make contact, a wide smile splaying over his face, only to drop in worry when you flinch back and fall.
“OH GOD!”
“Oh no!”
An arm quickly darts out to catch you, only to have you half caught, half plopped to the floor. You clutch your chest in fear, “choso! What’re you doing!”
“I… I was just-“
“You scared me, you ass! Why are you pretending to be asleep!”
"I didn't mean to!" he says quickly. "I just got so excited for my kiss... I'm sorry."
Your brows furrow and you plop down next to him on the couch, "what kiss, Cho?"
His cheeks blister into a blush of embarrassment, "When... when I fall asleep, you press a kiss to my forehead, and I really like that. It's something that's simple, but i really enjoy you doing." He buries his face in his hands to hide the way he’s blushing.
You ponder for a few seconds before the lightbulb goes off in your head, “ohhhhh! Your forehead kiss!”
He nods in his hands.
“Babe,” you chuckle. “I can just give you forehead kisses. There not exclusive to when you’re asleep! All you have to do is ask, or let me just come to you naturally. Nine times out of ten, when I come near you, I'm coming in for a kiss." To prove your point, you lean inwards to press a loving kiss to his forehead, then one on his nose, then the corner of his lips. He smiles and turns his head slightly to catch your lips in a kiss, and you pull back with a smile. “I like kissing you. Awake, and asleep.”
“Well I like receiving your kisses,” he says, laying his hand palm up for you to lace your fingers with, which you do happily before bringing his knuckles up to kiss them as well. “I like you giving me affection.”
“And I like giving it to you,” you laugh.
He tosses an arm around your shoulder and pull you close to his side, allowing you to cuddle into him with a happy sigh.
You kiss his cheek, “so… you like getting kissed huh?”
He blushes again and rests his forehead against yours to make eye contact, “don’t push it.”
“Too late, Cho.”
eddie munson who talks a lot when he’s in public and is quiet when at home 🤝🏼 partner who is quiet when in public and talks a lot when at home (aka me)
like think about it, when he’s out and about, he’s talking a mile a minute, entertaining people, jumping on tables, putting on the whole boisterous, comical act (that you love because you love him, but also because it means that you don’t have to say anything, he’s got all the talking covered)… but then, at home, when he’s at peace with the world and doesn’t have to put on his lil show, he’s silent (except when an interest is sparked duh). Then that’s when secretly-a-motor-mouth partner comes in, making it so easy for him to not have to speak. He just sits there, looking pretty, and listening to you ramble and yap about anything and everything all night long. It’s symbiotic and I need it and that is all <3
