Haikyu!! Imagines

Tendō (Kindergarten)

Aged down? idk. Just imagine you're both like 5.

Your mom dropped you off at kindergarten on Friday morning.

"Have fun sweetie. Make sure you're on your best behavior," she said to you.

"I will mommy! Bye!"

"Bye sweetheart."

You walk into class and go to your usual seat. You sit next to a kid named Satori Tendō. He had always intrigued you, but everyone bullied him so you kept your distance. Everyone said that he was a "monster" but you just thought he was beautiful.

You didn't understand why you thought Tendō was beautiful. You just did.

"Welcome everyone!" the teacher greeted and began the usual lesson.

The day dragged on like usual. However, Tendō was different today. He seemed more down than usual. This made you unable to focus on anything but him. You zoned out thinking of what could make him so upset. You just so happened to zone out staring at him. He eventually turned and saw you staring at him. He thought you were like everyone else, so he interpreted your zoned out stare as a disgusted gaze.

"It's time for recess everyone!" the teacher excitedly exclaimed.

Every kid rushed out the door. Even Tendō. From observing him, you realized this was his chance to escape. He got bullied at recess for a while until he found a hiding spot. You were the only kid that paid enough attention to him to know where he was.

You were feeling bold today because Tendō was off. You sneakily walked to his hiding spot. He didn't notice you at first but you noticed something immediately.

He was crying with flowers in his hand and a petal on his lips.

"Tendō?" you managed to say.

"I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me," Tendō pleaded.

You touched his shoulder and he flinched really hard. "I don't want to hurt you."

He softened at your words and looked up at you.

"Why do you have flowers in your hand?" you questioned.

"I-I uhhh, I was eating them."

"Why were you eating flowers?"

"Well if you are what you eat, I want to be a flower. If I'm a flower then I'll be beautiful," he explained sadly.

"Y-you are beautiful," you said as you looked down at your feet.

He stood up off the ground. "Do you really think so?"

"Yes."

Before you knew it, Tendō was crying in your arms. You didn't know how to handle his emotions so you just wrapped your arms around him.

"Is that y/n hugging the monster?" you heard one of the class bullies say.

"Ewww!" a bunch of people said in unison.

"Hey! He is not a monster! He is beautiful and all of you... you jerks are too stupid to see it!" you yelled at them earning shocked expressions from everyone. You were never one to speak much less yell. "Tendō is my friend! I don't understand why any of you bully him! He never did anything to you! Why are you all so mean?!"

No one replied. You took Tendō by the hand and went back inside. You sat with him at lunch which no one ever did.

Eventually people started bullying both of you together but you always stood up for both of you.

You and Tendō remained friends. It was always just the two of you. If someone wanted to find you, they could just find Tendō's bright red hair, and you'd be right there next to him.

That's the way you and him liked it.
