Haikyuu Imagines

Crying in Front of Them (Headcanons)

Prompt: you break down crying in front of them after a bad day or when feeling overwhelmed

KARASUNO:

Hinata Shoyo:

Hinata is busy telling you about his practice match when he suddenly locks eyes with you and notices you're tearing up.  The minute he asks if you're okay, the dam bursts, and you're telling him through choked sobs.  He holds your hands in his and listens so intently to help encourage you to tell him everything.  The minute he finds out the reason, he's squaring up to fight.  "We ride at dawn!" he yells, and it makes you laugh.  He wants to make sure you're feeling better first and will then treat you to your favorite dessert. 

Kageyama Tobio:

At first, he's both stunned and startled since he's not used to anyone being that vulnerable with him.  The fact you chose him to talk to warms his heart... but also breaks it because he's shattered to see someone strong like you feeling so sad. He'll look for tissues and pat you rhythmically on your back or shoulder. Looks you in the eyes occasionally but is too upset to fully make connected eye contact.  He wants you to feel happy ASAP, so he'll distract you by telling you stories when he was in a similar situation and how he overcame it.

Tsukishima Kei:

Freezes when he sees you walking towards him, wiping tears from your eyes.  He stops you right away, his hands gripping your shoulders as he looks you in the eyes.  "Tell me what's wrong.  Did someone do this to you?" Cannot be nonchalant in this situation.  If you're crying particularly hard, he'll use the pad of his thumb to brush away the tears.  This is the one time he'll hug you first, no questions asked.  Lowkey thinks you're beautiful when you cry since your eyes shine like gems (but HATES that you're upset).  Thinks it's cheesy but sends you home with one of his favorite stuffed animals because he wants you to have a piece of him with you during this rough patch. 

Yamaguchi Tadashi:

If you cry, he cries.  He's such an empathetic guy, he'll feel exactly what you're feeling.  Wants to go through your problems with you.  If it's academic-related, will study with you.  If someone's bothering you, he's walking with you at all times to shoo them away.  When he sees you cry like this, it reminds him of his weaker days when he used to get bullied.  Knows how it is to feel small and helpless like that, so will give you all the advice he's learned over the years to help you get through.  Will stand by your side the way he felt Tsukki stood by his. 

Nishinoya Yuu:

Instantly is ready to fight whoever left you in this state.  Embraces you in a hug and pats your back gently.  Whispers soothing things into your ear to help calm you down.  Once the sobbing has stopped, he pulls away to look at you and wipes the tears off your cheeks.  Makes you promise you'll tell him when something is happening so that he can go through it with you and help you problem-solve together.  Doesn't like that you're facing such big things alone. 

Tanaka Ryuunosuke:

Abandons every rational thought when you cry in front of him.  He doesn't even pause to ask you what's wrong, you're immediately in his arms.  He's holding you, serving as your physical anchor in those vulnerable moments.  Reassures you that he's right there and that you'll have him by your side to go through harder things like this.  Vows that he'll be the one to understand you when no one else does.  

Sugawara Koshi:

He asks a simple question like "are you okay?" and that prompts the flood of tears.  Suga is a very thoughtful guy, so he'll realize you've been bottling things in and forcing yourself to be okay when you're not.  He patiently listens to everything you have to say and asks questions to see where he can help.  Makes you shared to-do lists on your notes app so that both you and he can cross things off your schedules and keep each other accountable without feeling overwhelmed.
