Haikyu one shots

: "Through the Lens of Love" Tendo

Shun Tendo was known for his carefree attitude and playful spirit on the volleyball court. A key player for the Shiratorizawa Academy team, he had a reputation for his impressive skills as a middle blocker, but it was his mischievous nature that made him unforgettable. Tendo had a talent for lifting spirits, whether it was through his charming smile or his lighthearted teasing. However, there was one person who managed to make him blush—Mio Hoshino.

Mio was a talented photography club member with an eye for capturing moments. Her passion for photography radiated through her work, and she had an uncanny ability to find beauty in the mundane. With her warm smile and infectious laughter, she was well-liked by everyone at Shiratorizawa. However, despite their proximity at school, Tendo found it challenging to express the feelings that had been blooming in his heart for her.

An Unlikely Meeting

One sunny afternoon, Tendo was wandering around the school's courtyard after practice. The leaves had just started to change colors, creating a picturesque backdrop perfect for photography. He spotted Mio crouched near a flower bed, her camera in hand, focused on getting the perfect shot.

Tendo couldn't help but smile as he watched her. "Hey, Hoshino! What's so interesting over there?" he called out, approaching her.

Startled, Mio looked up and smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Tendo! I'm just trying to capture the autumn flowers. They're so vibrant!"

"Do you need a model?" Tendo grinned, striking a playful pose with exaggerated flair.

Mio laughed, her eyes sparkling. "You're already a distraction! But I could use some help getting the right angle." She gestured for him to come closer.

Tendo eagerly moved to her side, intrigued. "What should I do?"

"Just stand next to that tree and pretend to admire the flowers. I want to capture that natural look," she instructed, setting up her camera.

"Natural, huh? I can do that!" Tendo said, a hint of mischief in his tone. He leaned against the tree, trying to look effortlessly cool but failing as he couldn't help but smile at her.

Click! The camera shutter sounded, capturing the moment.

"Perfect! Just like that!" Mio encouraged, adjusting her camera settings.

As Tendo continued to pose, he felt a flutter in his stomach. Being near her brought an unusual warmth he couldn't quite explain.

A Blossoming Friendship

After a few more shots, Mio lowered her camera and turned to him. "Thanks, Tendo! You make a great model! We should do this more often."

"Anytime! Just let me know when you need your handsome assistant," he said, his confidence shining through.

Mio rolled her eyes playfully. "You're a goof, you know that? But it's fun being around you."

Tendo's heart raced at her compliment. "I feel the same way, Hoshino. You make things interesting."

They spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the courtyard, chatting and laughing. Tendo found himself opening up about his aspirations and dreams, while Mio shared her love for photography and the stories behind her favorite shots.

The sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the school. Mio suddenly stopped, pointing her camera toward the horizon. "Look at that sunset! It's beautiful!"

Tendo watched her as she captured the moment, her focus intense and passionate. "You really love what you do, don't you?" he said, admiring her.

"I do! Photography allows me to freeze moments in time. It's like preserving memories," she explained, her voice softening.

"I get that," Tendo replied thoughtfully. "It's kind of like volleyball for me. Every game, every point is a memory."

They shared a moment of understanding, their connection growing stronger as the sun dipped below the horizon.

The Confession

A few weeks later, Shiratorizawa's volleyball team had a big match coming up, and Tendo was excited to invite Mio to watch. He hoped to impress her on the court, but the pressure made him nervous.

"Hey, Hoshino, are you coming to the game this Friday?" he asked, his voice slightly more serious than usual.

Mio's eyes lit up. "Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world! I want to see you play!"

Tendo grinned, feeling a rush of adrenaline. "Great! I'll make sure to give you a show!" But as the day approached, he felt an increasing urge to confess his feelings before it was too late.

On the night of the game, Tendo played with all his heart, his focus sharper than ever. He could feel Mio's gaze on him from the stands, her excitement palpable. After winning the match, the team celebrated, but Tendo's mind was elsewhere.

He spotted Mio waiting for him outside the gym, her face aglow with excitement. "You were amazing, Tendo! The way you spiked that ball was incredible!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious.

"Thanks! But there's something I need to tell you," Tendo said, his heart pounding.

Mio tilted her head, curious. "What is it?"

"I've been wanting to say this for a while now," he began, nervously running a hand through his hair. "I really like you, Hikari. Like, more than a friend. You make me happier than I can express, and I can't imagine not having you in my life."

Her eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, Tendo feared he had misread the situation. But then, a soft smile spread across her face. "Tendo... I had no idea you felt that way. I've been crushing on you too!"

He blinked in disbelief, a wave of relief washing over him. "You really like me?"

"Of course! You always make me laugh and bring joy wherever you go," she said, stepping closer.

Tendo felt a rush of warmth as their proximity brought them closer together. "So... what now?"

"Maybe we could go out together? Like on a date?" Mio suggested, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"I'd love that!" Tendo replied, his heart soaring.

A New Chapter

From that day on, Tendo and Mio embarked on a new journey together. They went on various adventures, exploring their shared interests and learning more about each other. Tendo would often accompany her on her photography outings, where he would pose for her and make her laugh.

Mio, in turn, cheered him on during his games, her unwavering support fueling his confidence. They balanced each other perfectly—his playful spirit complemented her creativity, creating a bond that blossomed into a beautiful relationship.

As they stood together, looking at the pictures they had taken, Tendo realized that he had finally found someone who understood him, someone he could be himself with.

"Thanks for being you, Hikari," he said, looking into her eyes.

"Thank you for being my inspiration, Tendo," she replied, smiling brightly.

Their laughter echoed through the air as they continued to capture moments together, now as partners in both life and love.
