haikyuu snippets

royal stag ;; iwaizumi h.

inspiration: in the yagami yato patreon discord server, i was talking with a bunch of people about scenarios with characters. someone brought up a yucky mha character in a biker au that included a pool table.

i saw pool table and my mind WENT WITH IT.

bar au weeeeee.

you didn't hear this but there might be a second part to this.

also, since every haikyuu team ever is associated with an animal or inanimate object, seijoh are deer/elk and oikawa is a stag. i do not accept criticism.

Today was lighter than you expected it to be.

There you stood behind the bar, polishing a tall, Renaissance-themed beer mug in your hands with a clean rag. There was definitely a ruckus that you should be focused on, but you had drinks to make and people to wait on. Thankfully, the boys didn't seem too rowdy yet.

Aoba Johsai's hotspot was your very own bar, passed down to you by your uncle. It was known as Seijoh's Sanctum by regulars. This bar was practically run by a large gang of men whose traditional colors were white and light blue. Your uncle wasn't too fond of them, but they were paying customers that didn't start trouble (often) in the bar. He thought they were suspicious and untrustworthy, possibly doing some underground, illegal work behind the scenes similar to that of a mafia.

And then you inherited the bar. The boys, their group unnamed to this day, took quite a liking to you and some even grew to be quite good friends. You didn't mind them, so long as they paid for what they ordered and didn't cause too much chaos. In fact, they helped to keep the bar safe and organized, with the slight downside that they often scared off any new faces who would come in on a Friday.

Today was a Friday. You didn't have to look at a schedule to know that; the boys were here. They were always here on Fridays, as a group. Some came alone or even with a few others on other days, but on that very same day all of them were there. One particular character would show up just about every day.

At last, you couldn't bear the shouting anymore. "Hey!" You called out, rearing around to face the rest of the room. Every single head turned, all eyes on you the second they heard your voice. Mattsun and Makki had put down their sticks and stopped their game of pool, Iwaizumi and Kyotani put their usual arm wrestle on hold, even Kunimi looked up from his drink. "Keep the noise down a bit."

From the back, near the arm-wrestling duo, called the one voice who dared to respond. "Yes, [ma'am|sir|commander]!" The voice had come from their leader, Tooru Oikawa, who sent a playful salute your way alongside his words.

Tooru Oikawa was the first to introduce himself to you aside for his right-hand man, Hajime Iwaizumi. Oikawa had sent a flurry of flirts your way, but found it shocking that you paid him no mind, unfazed by his words. He said that he was a ladies man, and you didn't believe it until you found him outside the bar one night after closing with three women, each of them being turned down.

The rest of Oikawa's men were quite respectful. A few of them (mostly Iwaizumi and your favorite duo, Hanamaki and Matsukawa) even claimed that you were more fit to lead them. They were, as a whole, your favorite customers.

Smiling, you turned back to face the shelves offering row upon row of alcohol, a silent way to let the men go back to whatever they were doing. The chaos ensued, only more quietly. You went back to the mug you were perfecting before you set it aside for someone's next glass of alcohol poisoning.
