Almost everyone that Ryū has met is shocked when they find out he's the beloved Aoba Johsai's volleyball captains, brother. He has had many fangirls come up to him to ask about Tōru and hates it more then anything, he's happy for his brother and how far he's come in life,, but it's really annoying when you're trying to eat lunch and some random girl gives him a love letter to give his brother. . .

Habits : " That playboy brunette says I have a hitting habit, I have no idea what he's talking about. " [ Ryū has a habit of randomly twitching or making a random sound, he doesn't have Tourettes and doesn't fake them by any means, it's just sometimes he's had since he was young.

[ Eita Semi ];

- [ Ryū himself wasn't sure how these feelings even developed, maybe it was during a game? He wasn't really sure. He first saw the other during a match between Shiratorizawa, not really paying him any mind. Ryū remembered seeing him and this kid with a weird hair cut banter before the grey haired male had spotted him, he noticed how the others face seemed to grow a little red when he saw him, and it seemed that Oikawa saw it too. Oikawa started spewing about how he should stop staring at his little brother only to be calmed down by Iwa. Ryū found the whole thing pretty funny and ended up starting a conversation with Semi, apologizing for his brothers behavior and exchanging numbers. Torū wasn't to pleased and tried to delete the others contact off of Ryū phone, but he managed to get around it and get Oikawa to let him keep his number. ]

- Ryū likes to visit Semi after or right before his practice is over, he sometimes messes with the other in front of his teammates.

- Ushi uses Ryū and Semi's relationship to leverage Torū into going to Shiratorizawa.

- Ryū's absolutely In love with Goshiki and treats him like a younger brother.

- Semi loves doing little things to embarrass Ryū, such as holding him by his waist or sneakily kissing him in front of his team.

💙🤍

[ Satori Tendō ];

- [ Oh boy was Oikawa mad. . . Ryū met Tendō one day while Ushijima was trying to convince Oikawa to join Shiratorizawa. Ryū wasn't really bother until he noticed Ushijima didn't come alone, he had brought Tendō with him— erm— well— More like; Tendō brought himself and Ushijima didn't say anything. Ryū felt his face heating up and his stomach felt heavy and filled to the brim with butterflies. It only worsened when Tendō gave him one of the prettiest smiles he's ever seen in his life. Oikawa noticed this and immediately started yelling about how Shiratorizawa and their members trying to taint his younger brother and whatnot. Needless to say, Tendō and Ryū secretly exchanged numbers without Tōru seeing. ]

- Ryū was teased by his team for a good while because of the fact that he loses his thought guy act around Satori.

- Tendō has definitely ' Kidnapped ' Ryū away from Oikawa to go on dates with him.

- Ryū thinks Satori is absolutely beautiful and can't help but feel flustered everything he's around him.

- Satori made a whole dance for Ryū, thats it.

💙❤️

[ Hajime Iwaizumi ];

- [ While Ryū wasn't as close to Iwaizumi as Tōru was growing up,, He still hung out with the other occasionally. As they grew older Ryū started realizing how handsome Iwaizumi really was, and how he often stuck up for him whenever someone was messing with him or Tōru was teasing him. Ryū found himself slowly but surely falling for the ace, unknowing that Iwaizumi felt the same way. ]

- Tōru was deathly silent when he found out, then proceeded to go absolutely insane for the next hour.

- Hajime and him gang up on Tōru, which Tōru strongly disapproves of.

- Ryū grudgingly asked Tōru for help when confessing to Hajime and he never let it down.

- Ryū will never admit it, but he secretly likes being shorter then Hajime. He knows how much the other overthinks his height and knows how much Hajime likes being taller then him.

💙🖤

[ Wakatoshi Ushijima ]; [ Did I put him here for the sole fact because of how much Oikawa hates him? Yes, yes I did. ]

- [ If you thought Oikawa was mad at Ryū and Tendō dating. . . Oh boy are you in for a treat. . . Tōru was ecstatic. Ryū had to listen to him rant for hours. You see, it all started when; Since Wakatoshi couldn't get Oikawa to come to Shiratorizawa normally, he had to do the next best thing. ' Kidnap ' his younger brother and hold him ' hostage ' in the Shiratorizawa gym until Tōru came to get him and then get him to join the club. The plan was flawless in Wakatoshi's eyes, the rest of the team. . . eh . . not so much. The plan practically played out as Wakatoshi hoped it would, expect one small factor, Ryū was far prettier then he suspect he would be. Wakatoshi found himself feeling strange feelings about the other while they were together, Ryū didn't really pay attention to what was going on, just wanting to go home. When Oikawa arrived all hell broke loose but Ryū and him ended up going back home by the end of the day. Since then, Wakatoshi has not only continued pestering Tōru about joining Shiratorizawa, but Ryū as well. ]

- Wakatoshi's feelings for the other has gotten so bad, to the point where he asks Ryū to join Shiratorizawa more then he has Tōru.

- Ryū is completely oblivious to the others feelings but finds Wakatoshi kind of cute in a way, and he accidentally let that slip while next to Tōru and he had the lecture of his life after.

- Ryū jokingly ask Tōru to go to Shiratorizawa occasionally because of Wakatoshi.

- Ryū has threatened to leave to go to Shiratorizawa before when Oikawa annoyed him. And Wakatoshi took it very much seriously. . . Needless to say, That day was spent trying to get Ryū back from the Shiratorizawa high gym.

⚠️ Warning, Mentions of verbal abuse. ⚠️

Name ; Yashiro Togami.

Age ; 19.

Relationship with Ryū ; When Ryū first met Yashiro, he was still finding out how to convey his emotions and be more verbal. Yashiro took advantage of this and often gaslighted Ryū into thinking he wanted to do something he didn't. He also verbally abused Ryū whenever he was annoyed with the other, he was never physically violent but grew close multiple times. Ryū actually kept his relationship hidden from his siblings and parents, Tōru was the first to find out about their relationship. He immediately ended the whole thing and made sure Ryū never came in contact with him again. But sometimes, Ryū occasionally gets a disturbing messages in the mail from Yashiro. He brushes them off but deep down he's a little terrified of the thought of seeing Yashiro again.
