You Feel Like Home (Hajime Iwaizumi x Fem!Reader)

With a heavy heart, Hajime Iwaizumi leaves Japan-and his childhood-behind. His dream is to work under a renowned player-turned-training coach after graduating college. But when he arrives at UCLA, he learns he can stay with a host family, an opportunity he hesitates to take-yet ultimately chooses.

Enter (Y/N) Scott: vibrant, outspoken, and everything Iwaizumi didn't know he needed. Despite her lively demeanor, she comes from a strict household that grants her freedom with firm conditions-academic success and celibacy until marriage.

As time passes, (Y/N) and Iwaizumi begin to feel like home to each other. But when his time in America comes to an end, will their connection endure?

You Feel Like Home explores themes of love, belonging, and the courage to face life's transitions.

Set during the timeskip, this story may include manga spoilers where relevant, but they'll enrich Iwaizumi's journey rather than detract from your experience.
