Just You and Me (Haikyuu Oneshots) ON HIATUS

On the CatWalk (Asahi Azumane x Reader)

Hello everyone. This one-shot was requested by @x0Himiko0Toga0x. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. 

This one-shot is taking place post-time-skip in the manga. Don't worry though. There aren't any major spoilers in this other than Asahi's future profession after he graduates Karasuno.

Strolling through the capital with a shuffle hitched at his feet, a young impressionable man squeezes in and out the crowds the huddle on the street corners, apologizing each time he collided with a fellow pedestrian with a nod and a gentle wave.

Amongst the several others who were heavily affected by the undependable city life, the newly college-graduated, Asahi Azumane, was late for the third time that week for his new job as a junior apparel designer. The man thought his tardiness would surely diminish after setting up alarm clocks at an earlier time so that he could leave the house at sharp seven.

However, with the added time slot for getting his daily coffee fix and the faltered delayed trains that seemed to be the only feasible transport in the early morning, Asahi was falling behind immensely, running across traffic-induced roads and cutting corners just so that he could salvage the extra minutes, even if it meant his coffee was splashing everywhere, leaving a trail of where the man once stepped as well as making his hands feel very sticky.

Luckily, whilst waiting for the train, he texted his assistant to start the work without him, not wanting to disturb their strict schedule. Hopefully, him not being there right now won't affect the morale too much.

Gazing up to admire the crystal blue sky and the blanket of clouds it snuggled into, he recognized the skyscraper building and smiled. He looked down at his watch and realized he was 15 mins late which triggered him to start sprinting around the block and in through the heavy glass doors that were kindly opened by the guards upon arrival once he showed them his company ID.

He bowed his head in respect and walked into the building, encased in the radiator's manufactured warmth as well as the relief of starting another day of hard work, sweat, and a ton of breakable dedication that could easily be fixed with the cafe's cup of tea.

"Okay Ladies and gentlemen, I have the routine for the fashion show this Friday printed out for you. Please read over it and email me if there are any doubts. Also, I hope you remember you'll be having a photoshoot with the world-renown photographer we hailed from France at noon so please be on time for that." Smiling, you greeted the models as they came up to you and receive the according to the paperwork before saying their thanks and dispersing outwards through the many exits the hall had, similarly how a dandelion seeds flowing in the cold summer breeze.

Once they all left, you packed all your things in your bag and excused yourself out of the room, heading towards your office located on the fifth floor of the company building. Before you could even mentally complain about the flights of stairs you have to take because the lot is always seemed to be broken, you saw your boss run in through the doors, walk past the opened-planned cafeteria and towards you, sweating and puffing like the big bad wolf but maybe less destructive.

"Asahi-san... did you run here? You look exhausted?" You asked, grabbing some tissue from your pocket and beginning to dab it on Asahi's hand to clean up the sticky cappuccino mess he created for himself as you held his hand up.

"I was late so I ran once I got out of the train station. What else would I have done?"

"But I told you I'll sort everything out. How are you gonna work in the state you're in? Also, didn't you tell me you were on the volleyball team in high school? How did you get so worn out?"
