A/N: I found it so hard to pick a favourite position/role, because they're all so interesting and important, and I love everyone 😭 But I settled on the role of captain because of the headcanons I thought of. Captain Sqaud, assemble! So, want to find out what these boys are like on a road trip?

(Just to be clear, I do love all these guys. None of this is hate 😂) All my Haikyuu Week 2020 posts will be SFW, but I have some NSFW stuff on my blog, too. Feel free to check that out~ Thanks for reading! Please enjoy ♡ Imo~

Sawamura Daichi

  • Dad-chi™
  • Comes prepared with all the food, drinks, snacks, med kit, camera – literally everything you could possibly need on a road trip
  • Plans out the route beforehand down to the tiniest detail nothing gets past this man
  • As well as multiple backup routes in case there's diversions etc.
  • Plans for regular breaks at two-hour intervals where everyone can pee, stretch their legs, buy anything they need, etc.
  • He's the one who's driving he's not letting anybody else get a scratch on his van, lmao
  • And he's good at it
  • No speeding he's a cop, y'all but he doesn't dawdle either, no running red lights, turns corners well, keeps an even foot on the gas, etc.
  • Just a good time, tbh
  • Nobody is getting car sick because of him that would be a damn disgrace
  • "Stop fighting right now, or I'm turning this van around"
  • And will actually do it if you don't stfu, lmfao
  • Don't even think about making a mess and dropping your rubbish in the van you'll be walking home
  • Everyone else thinks his music is boring and for old people, but Daichi honestly doesn't care
  • Besides, it's either that or no music at all, because he needs to concentrate on the road
  • He takes this shit seriously. People's lives are in his hands, dammit!

Testurou Kuroo

  • Likes to switch between driving and riding shotgun/being designated navigator
  • Is fairly decent at both
  • Is constantly eating something but, like, he probably doesn't even know what it is
  • Some kind of edible is shoved towards his mouth by whoever's riding shotgun, and in it goes shut up. Not like that, you cretins 😂
  • Somehow manages to behave like an overbearing grandparent and an overexcited child at the same time?? Nothing new there, I guess 😂
  • I'm sorry, Kuroo, I love you. Please don't be mad 😭
  • Has a banging playlist full of throwback songs from the 90s and early 2000s
  • Drums along sofly on the steering wheel or dashboard constantly
  • HATES driving in rain he's low-key terrified he's going to aquaplane
  • Likes driving with the windows wound down and feeling the wind in his hair
  • Will plan the route, but then forget to save it/print it off, etc.
  • Cannot work Google Maps or SAT-NAVs to save his life Kenma, please help him
  • Actually packs properly balanced meals, but is heavy on the snacks, too
  • You'd think he'd drive too fast, but he's actually really responsible
  • Constantly telling dad jokes to try and keep people amused the groaners are the best
  • Would probably fight someone at the gas station if they started being a dick and causing trouble
  • Kuroo, baby. I love you, but please don't get arrested 😭😂😭

Bokuto Koutarou

  • Dear God, do NOT let him drive leave it to Akaashi, I'm begging you
  • Has really bad spacial awareness in a vehicle and drifts all over the place
  • Probably speeds without even knowing it, too
  • Likes to ride shotgun, but is a terrible navigator, so is nearly always made to ride in the back
  • Is the loud one that moves around too much and blocks the rear view mirror strap him in tight, Akaashi
  • Belts along at the top of his voice to whatever music is playing, he's not fussy
  • Was told to pack essential items in his backpack and proceeded to fill it with sweets and snacks and a pack of condoms??? and thought he did good
  • Bokuto: Bro, you said they were essential
  • Akaashi: NOT FOR EVERY SITUATION
  • Rarely ever has to pee, but when he does, it's always miles away from any service station, and he has to hold it for hours
  • Has definitely peed at the side of the road multiple times because he couldn't hold it any longer, but he wasn't even embarrassed as numerous cars zoomed past
  • Likes sticking his head out the window like a dog on the motorway which gives everyone else heart attacks
  • Like, get the hell back inside you maniac 😭
  • If the car has a sunroof, he's 100% standing up through it with his hands in the air just you try and stop him
  • And they will. Everyone will try
  • "HORSES!!"
  • Will get out of the car in traffic jams to find out what's going on and end up chatting with random strangers until it starts moving again
  • And he's very sad when he has to leave his new friends. Droopy hair and emo Kou for the next 2 hours :(
  • Unironically enjoys playing 'I Spy' for hours at a time
  • Is a bit much to handle in such a confined space for hours on end, but he's just so excited for the road trip
  • Will fall sound asleep in a matter of minutes if you set him up with a travel pillow and it's freaking adorable!!

Ushijima Wakatoshi

  • No music whatsoever it's distracting. Why would he want it?
  • Okay driver, brilliant paper-map navigator
  • Will sit and do absolutely nothing but stare out the window the entire trip if he's neither
  • Breaks too hard and accelerates too fast, though
  • Is also kind of heavy-handed with the gear stick he may or may not have snapped one off before...
  • Never give him a SAT-NAV, though, because he will follow the directions with 100% accuracy and end up driving through a wall or some shit don't try and deny it
  • Does he ever even blink when he's looking at the road? We may never know
  • Might be astral projecting, who knows
  • Forgets people need toilet breaks but refuses to make unscheduled stops
  • "Just hold it in"
  • Uh-huh, sure. That's how that works, Toshi
  • No snacks
  • Or rather, no fun snacks. Protein bars and mineral water all the way, babyyyy 🙃🙃🙃
  • Could probably drive all through the night without taking any breaks but that's irresponsible
  • Don't do it, kids
  • Will likely devour the entire KFC menu at the service station he's big, okay? He eats a lot
  • Is prone to leg cramp after long drives oh look, he needs a massage 😏
  • Doesn't get car sick. Ever. Upset stomachs are for the weak
  • Has garbage and recycling pouches on the backs of the front seats use them correctly, or feel his wrath
  • Isn't exactly a barrel of laughs, but it's somehow endearing just like always *happy sigh*
  • But it's actually a good thing
  • There's no hidden side to Ushi or any bad or annoying habits that come out of the woodwork on a long road trip
  • He's just the same old reliable, adorably straightforward Ushijima ❤

Oikawa Tooru

  • Calls shotgun and demands the aux cord every. Single. Time but it's pretty decent music, so no-one really complains
  • Not that he's any good at navigation pray for Iwa-chan
  • Is constantly taking selfies, making TikToks, and documenting the trip on his social media
  • #ROADTRIP #SQUAD GOALS #BETTER THAN YOU
  • Will send all the photos in the group chat when it's over, and they actually come out pretty well
  • Will not stop complaining if the air conditioning is busted and Iwa-chan will threaten to dump him in the middle of nowhere if he doesn't can it 😂
  • Iwa-chan: I shoulda left you on that street corner where you were standing
  • Oikawa: But'cha dIDN'T
  • Bonus points if you get that reference, lmao
  • Has to keep taking breaks because his butt hurts when he sits down for too long because it's fLaT
  • I'm sorry, Tooru 😭😭 Forgive me. I love you, really
  • Is constantly on his phone
  • But he points out pretty views and interesting sights to everyone all the time awww
  • Low-key needs to pee all the time, but gets defensive if someone brings it up please stop bulling him, travelling is hard
  • "Are we there yet?"
  • Seems kind of annoying, but is actually just genuinely excited to go on a road trip and spend time with his friends 😭😭
  • Buys matching souvenirs for everyone in secret to surprise them with 🥺
  • When people complain about all the photos, souvenirs, and enthusiasm, etc. and ask why he has to keep doing it, Oikawa says:
  • "I want to remember as much of this as possible. I want us all to remember as much of this as much as possible," with a sweet little smile 😭😭😭
  • And that's when everyone realises how mean they've been to him about being over-the-top and irritating, and they all feel terrible
  • Just like in the freaking anime, man

Terushima Yuuji

  • Will hijack the aux cord to play his incredibly niche music taste
  • Feet up on the dashboard when he rides shotgun
  • Shoes on is bad enough, but shoes off just stinks up the entire car you have to roll all the windows down, lmfao
  • Will break all sorts of road laws if you let him behind the wheel please don't
  • Daichi will come and arrest him 😭😭
  • Lives on energy drinks
  • That's all the drinks he packs. Nothing else
  • Travels in sports wear and sliders yes, even though you reallly shouldn't drive in sandals
  • Like he knows or cares 😭
  • Will chat to girls at the gas station and ask for their numbers, even though he's never going to see them again
  • "You never know, man! It could be, like, fate or something"
  • Yes, Yuuji, you do. And it's 'or something'
  • Thinks it's a good time to sext his current booty call because, like, he has hours of free time. What else is he going to do?
  • Probably forgot to pack actual food
  • Has to live off of snacks and cheap service station food for the duration of the trip
  • But not his own snacks, of course. Everyone else's one doesn't keep friends and buy one's own snacks
  • Genuinely doesn't realise if he's being gross or annoying, so let him down lightly like a bro and he'll probably make an effort to stop
  • Doesn't plan the route or anything, even if he's driving. Just punches it into Google Maps as he sits his ass down on the day and trusts it to get him there in one piece and on time
  • Entire Johzenji team: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...
  • For some reason knows how to change a flat tire, though, so he's good for something, I guess 😂😂
  • Probably saw a YouTube video on it. Maybe a WikiHow article
  • Somehow still manages to be an endearing part of the trip??
  • He smiles a lot and makes a lot of jokes, particularly when things go wrong, so it keeps everyone's spirits up
  • It definitely wouldn't be the same without him
