oh i love this kind of thing! <3
haikyuu boys as romance tropes ♡
→ HINATA is the friends to lovers trope. your relationship slips from platonic to romantic so naturally; either way, he’s the closest person to you in your life.
→ KAGEYAMA is the fake relationship trope. you two “date” out of mutual convenience, not actual feelings, but why does it start to feel so real?
→ TSUKISHIMA is the school/office romance trope. you two work well together, but soon your partner dynamic becomes more like a relationship, and budding feelings sprout on both sides.
→ YAMAGUCHI is the childhood sweethearts trope. you two were one another’s first loves, first everything, and now you get to be one another’s lasts as well.
→ OIKAWA is the mutual pining and slow burn trope. with him, things are drawn out and frustrating and painful, but true love wins out in the end, and it’s all worth it for both of you.
→ IWAIZUMI is the “only one bed” trope. he wants to take the floor; you insist on sharing; he gives in. his back is warm, you notice, and neither of you can fall asleep that night.
→ KUROO is the best friend’s brother trope. you like his younger sibling as a friend, but the feelings you harbor for the older brother are a little bit different, and it’s hard for him to cover up his crush, too.
→ KENMA is the secret billionaire trope. you never realized he was rich until he paid for your meal and then your debt before casually sweeping you away to his penthouse suite.
→ BOKUTO is the love at first sight trope. it’s a normal day until you spot one another, complete strangers still, and instantly – simultaneously – think to yourself, that’s the one.
→ AKAASHI is the soulmates trope. fate dictates it, but you have no complaints. he’s the only person you’ll ever love, and you’re a one in a billion match, two halves made whole.
→ ATSUMU is the enemies to lovers trope. you absolutely hated his guts, you were the bane of his existence, and somehow through all the tension, you both fall in love along the way.
→ OSAMU is the opposites attract trope. he’s relaxed where you’re hotheaded and he’s careless where you’re cautious, but you complement one another perfectly.
→ SAKUSA is the stuck together trope. it’s a bad situation and neither of you really want to be there until suddenly, you almost wish you’d be stuck with each other forever.
→ KITA is the forbidden love trope. he knows he can’t be with you, and the entire world’s working against you two, but star-crossed lovers are still lovers for a reason.
