[Yuki busts down the doors of the main hall and scares off the followers assaulting Yuno] Tsubaki: You... seem different. Yuki: All my fears have vanished. Now, I can see your own fears as clear as day. Tsubaki: ...What?! Yuki: You pity yourself for giving up your enlightenment when your innocence was ripped asunder. You are anxious about losing your authority as a clairvoyant prophetess. I see your childish urge to inflict the same pain you felt unto others! Tsubaki: How DARE you speak to a maiden that way...!

GOM + Kagami: Seeing their s/o on the beach, while on day trip with the team

Summary: A hella chaotic day at the beach, chaotic teammate energy and lots of sweet moments // GIFs not mine

Midorima Shintaro

The sun was high, glittering on the ocean waves as Seirin and Shutoku’s joint training day wrapped up with an impromptu beach trip. The teams had scattered across the sand — Takao immediately declaring a volleyball war, Kagami and Aomine turning it into a dunk contest with coconuts, and Kuroko quietly building a sand dog together with Nigō, beside Murasakibara’s snack pile.

Midorima stood at a distance under a large beach umbrella, fully clothed, socks and sandals on, arms crossed tightly like he was protecting his soul. His lucky item of the day — a green garden gnome — stood beside him like a tiny sentry. He adjusted his glasses for the third time in a minute. He was happy not to have to have training for once. Midorima has always been a bit reserved. But under the warmth of the sun, he could almost relax a little and let loose.

And then he saw you.

You were laughing at something Riko had said, the wind catching your hair just right as you held an ice cream cone dangerously close to tipping over. You wore a swimsuit under an oversized shirt, sunglasses perched on your head, and the sunlight made your skin glow.

Midorima’s heart skipped a beat. Why were you here? Has your painting class been canceled?

“Oi, Shin-chan, don’t stare too hard or you’ll burn a hole through y/n,” Takao called out, appearing beside him with a mischievous grin.

“I...I–I was not staring,” Midorima snapped, immediately turning his head in the most suspiciously obvious way. “Sure, sure,” Takao drawled, then leaned in. “But you know, you could go say hi. Maybe even—dare I say—talk to y/n?”

“I talk to her all the time.”

“Grunting about zodiac compatibility doesn’t count.”

“I do not grunt—”

But it was too late. Takao had already jogged away with a wink, and Midorima was left awkwardly fixing his glasses again. He looked over at you once more. You had noticed him now and were waving, a big, easy smile on your face.

He gulped.

After a long pause, Midorima picked up the garden gnome and marched toward you with all the determination of someone walking into a final exam unprepared but overstudied.

You blinked as he stopped in front of you, the gnome held stiffly like an offering.

“Um... I brought this,” he said, voice strangled.

You looked at the gnome. Then at him. “Is this... for me?”

“No.” He flushed instantly. “I mean—no! I mean... It’s my lucky item today. I wouldn’t bring it if I didn’t think I’d... see you.”

That was probably the most romantic thing Midorima had ever said, even if he sounded like he was passing you a cursed relic.

You grinned. “Well, I’m honored. Wanna sit with me for a bit?”

He nodded, stiffly. You patted the towel next to you, and he lowered himself like it was an unfamiliar form of torture.

After a moment, he said in a quiet voice, “You should be careful. The UV index is high today.”

You blinked at him.

“I have... extra sunscreen. If you require it.” He handed you a small bottle from his ever-present medical kit bag.

“Thanks, Shin-chan,” you said, trying to hide your smile as you took it. “You’re so sweet.”

He turned red to his ears and didn’t respond, but you noticed his fingers twitch slightly — like he was restraining himself from adjusting his glasses for the hundredth time.

In the distance, someone yelled, “YO MIDORIMA! STOP FLIRTIN’ AND JOIN THE GAME!”

Midorima’s face turned bright red. You leaned closer and whispered, “You’re pretty cute when you’re flustered, you know that?”

He choked on air.

Takao howled with laughter from across the beach.

Kuroko Tetsuya

The beach was alive with noise and laughter, a rare off-day for the Generation of Miracles and friends to just… be normal teenagers. Or as normal as teenagers with god-tier basketball powers could be.

Aomine and Kagami were already in an intense, splash-filled dunk-off using a beach ball and an inflatable dolphin. Murasakibara lounged under an umbrella, dual-wielding pocky and popsicles. Midorima was nowhere near the water, protecting his lucky item (a seashell shaped like a fish), while Kise took selfies in literally every pose.

And Tetsuya Kuroko stood quietly by the shoreline, sipping his vanilla shake. Then he saw you. You should actually be with your best friend. That's why you declined to tag along.

His normally unreadable face flickered for the briefest moment—eyes slightly wider, the straw in his mouth frozen mid-sip. You were walking toward the water, hair tousled by the sea breeze, wearing a bikini top under a breezy open shirt and shorts that showed a lot of leg. Sunlight danced across your skin like you belonged in the ocean.

He forgot how to swallow. He also forgot how to blink.

“Oi oi oi, is that a glitch in the Kuroko Matrix?” Kise whispered from behind him, suddenly appearing and peeking over his shoulder.

“Damn, didn’t think anything could get Tetsu that shook,” Aomine smirked, elbowing Kagami. “He’s been staring at her for five whole minutes.”

“I am not staring,” Kuroko said calmly, still very much staring.

“You are so staring,” Kagami said, narrowing his eyes. “Yo, does he like her?”

The entire group turned slowly toward Kuroko like a pack of bloodthirsty matchmakers.

“Kurokocchi,” Kise grinned devilishly, “do you need a wingman? Because I am available.”

“I do not require a wingman, y/n and I know each other from playing basketball. We are friends.” Kuroko said, sipping his shake with perfect seriousness.

“Just friends hmmm, too bad,” Takao said, appearing out of nowhere. “You’re getting six of em.”

—

Cue Operation: Wingman feat. GOM (aka literal chaos)

Midorima was in charge of “scientific attraction aura placement” and insisted Kuroko stand exactly 3.2 meters away from you at all times. Kagami tried to teach him how to flex his biceps subtly, which only led to Kuroko lifting a coconut once and then never again. Kise offered sunglasses and an open shirt. Kuroko declined both.

Aomine? Well...Aomine had other plans.

He sauntered up to you while you were stretching by the water, his usual cocky grin in place. “Yo, y/n. Looking real fine today.”

You gave him a once-over and smirked. “Thanks, but I’m more into guys who don’t immediately make everything weird.”

“Oof.” Kise winced from across the beach. “Aominecchi got roasted.”

“You know who doesn’t make things weird?” you continued, glancing towards Kuroko, who was now pretending to be very interested in the sky.

“The quiet one?” Aomine raised an eyebrow. “Mhm.” You winked and waved at Kuroko. “Hey, Kuroko-kun!”

He blinked and looked around, like you couldn’t possibly be talking to him.

When you jogged over, he tensed slightly, his gaze politely averting as your shirt fluttered and revealed more skin than he was emotionally prepared to handle.

“You okay?” you asked sweetly, reaching out to brush something off his shoulder. “You’ve been kinda quiet.”, you smiles softly.

“I am always quiet,” he replied. “Right,” you said, grinning. “But you’re extra quiet today.”

“I… didn’t expect you to be wearing that,” he admitted, then turned bright pink the second he realized what he’d said.

You laughed. “You like it? I thought the light blue looked good with my hair and you might like it.”

“I think you look very lovely,” he said, voice soft and earnest.

You stepped closer, blushing. “You always say the most sincere things. It’s adorable.”

He blinked again. “Thank you.”

From behind the rocks, the team was watching like they were live-streaming a championship match.

“HE SAID SOMETHING NICE! IT’S HAPPENING!” “DO WE LAUNCH PHASE TWO?!” “NO—WAIT—SHE’S LEANING IN—PHASE THREE!!” “Midori-chicken, stop calculating, we’re vibing!”

Back on your towel, you sat beside Kuroko and offered him some of your drink. He hesitated, then took a small sip, cheeks still faintly red.

“You’re cute when you’re flustered,” you said.

Kuroko blinked at you. “I didn’t realize I was.”

“You are,” you whispered.

And somewhere in the distance, Aomine screamed into the void as the quiet one took the win.

Kagami Taiga

It was an extremely hot summer day, which is why Riko gave the team time off. She had suggested going to the beach. So here they were. The beach was buzzing with activity. The Seirin team, plus a few extra guests (the Generation of Menace), were in full summer mode: volleyballs flying, grills smoking, Aomine yelling something about sharks and flirting with random girls, and Riko chasing down anyone who tried to skip sunscreen.

Kagami was in the middle of all of it—but somehow, still distracted.

He sat on a beach towel, sunglasses pushed up into his wet hair, his brows furrowed as he stared at the ocean.

“Earth to Kagami....Kagami?” Kuroko appeared suddenly beside him like a calm ghost. “You okay?”

“Huh? Yeah. Just…” Kagami scratched the back of his head. “She said she couldn’t make it. Had some friend thing.”

“You miss her.”

“I don’t miss her, I just—” He stopped. Sighed. “Okay, yeah. I do. A little.”

“LITTLE?” Kise piped up from nowhere, sliding into the conversation like a golden retriever on a mission. “You’ve checked your phone like ten times in the last hour.”

“Have not!”

“You even sighed dramatically while looking at the waves!” Kise mimicked it perfectly, hand to chest. “‘The ocean is nice, but not as nice as her.’”

“SHUT UP!”

The teasing was about to get worse (because it always did), when suddenly:

“Hey, boys. Miss me?”, a laughing voice said.

Everyone turned. Time. Stopped.

There you were, standing at the edge of the boardwalk like something out of a beach movie. Your bag slung over your shoulder, flip-flops clicking, and that tiny red bikini peeking out from under your open cover-up.

Kagami choked on air. What the hell....

“You said you couldn’t come!” he blurted, eyes wide as plates.

“I rescheduled,” you said with a playful shrug. “Surprise?”

“Y-YEAH,” he stammered. “BIG surprise!”

His face was so red it matched your bikini and his hair. He stood up so fast he tripped over the towel and nearly faceplanted. Kuroko caught his shoulder like he was used to this level of chaos.

“Wow,” Aomine whistled, arms crossed behind his head. “Didn’t think that much blood could rush to a guy’s face and not kill him.”

Midorima pushed up his glasses. “He’s overheating.”

“Guys, she’s literally wearing his color,” Takao stage-whispered. “He’s doomed.”

You walked up to Kagami and gently poked his chest. “You okay there, hotshot?”

“I–uh–yeah–I just didn’t expect—You look—That is, you always look good—but wow—” Kagami short-circuited mid-sentence, flailing slightly.

You giggled, grabbing his hand and lacing your fingers with his. “Relax. I came to see you, not give you a heart attack.”

He rubbed the back of his neck, flustered but grinning like a doofus. “I’m really glad you’re here.”

“AWWWW,” the team chorused in unison.

“I will literally bury all of you in the sand,” Kagami growled, but didn’t let go of your hand.

—

Later, when you sat together by the fire pit roasting marshmallows, Kagami still couldn’t stop glancing your way with shy, lovesick eyes.

“You’re staring again,” you teased.

“I’m allowed,” he muttered. “You’re my girlfriend.”

“Damn right I am.”

A loud scream echoed from the water. Someone had buried Aomine up to his neck, and he was now being used as a volleyball net.

Chaos resumed.

But Kagami didn’t care. Because you were there, holding his hand, stealing his hoodie once it got cold, and smiling at him like he was the only guy on the beach, giggling over his muscular body.

And for Kagami, that was more than enough.

Murasakibara Atsushi

The beach day had been going surprisingly well, mostly because Murasakibara had secured a spot under an umbrella with a mountain of snacks and zero responsibilities.

“Ne, Muro-chin, don’t you want to at least try to have fun?” Himuro asked, tossing a frisbee nearby.

“I am having fun,” Murasakibara mumbled through a mouthful of caramel popcorn, not even looking up. “I don’t need to run around like a baka to have fun, y'know…”

“You haven’t moved in two hours.”

He shifted slightly. “I moved to reach the cookies.”

“Touché.”

Takao dropped down beside them, sweating from whatever beach game had turned into a war zone. “Kinda thought y/n was coming today. What happened?”

“She had a thing,” Murasakibara said flatly, tone dropping. “Some boring friend thing. Shpping or something.”

“You sound sad,” Himuro said with a smile that said I know exactly what’s going on here.

“I’m not sad. I just…” Murasakibara trailed off, shoving more chips in his mouth. “Snacks don’t make fun of you for being tall.”

“Uh-huh.”

Just then, a new voice cut through the air.

“Why is my favorite giant sulking under a beach umbrella?”

Murasakibara’s hand froze mid-chip. He looked up slowly, blinking once, then twice.

There you were, standing at the edge of the sand in your cute flower sundress, purple beach bag over your shoulder, and a bright grin on your face.

“Well...my friends had better plans,” you said, walking toward him.

Murasakibara sat up so fast the chip bag fell over. “Haaah…? You came?”

“Of course I did,” you said, plopping down beside him. “My friends told me I shouldn’t miss seeing you in beach mode.”

He looked down at his board shorts and oversized tank top. “...I’m not in beach mode. I’m in snack mode.”

“You look cute either way,” you teased, poking his cheek.

His entire face turned the color of strawberry Pocky. From a distance, every single team member froze mid-motion.

Kuroko blinked. “Is Murasakibara-kun... blushing?” “NO WAY,” Kagami gawked.

Kise nearly dropped his phone. “I—I NEED A PICTURE. SOMEONE IMMORTALIZE THIS.”

Back at the umbrella, Murasakibara was awkwardly trying to offer you a bag of marshmallows.

“Do you… want some?” he asked, frowning a little like he was nervous. “They’re the fluffy kind you like.”

You took one, brushing your fingers against his. “I like you more.”

He short-circuited. A marshmallow dropped onto his lap.

“Ne, y/n-chin, don’t say stuff like that all cute…” he mumbled, hiding his face behind a chip bag. “My heart feels weird.”

You leaned your head against his shoulder. “That’s called feelings, Atsushi.”

He let out a long groan but didn’t move away. “You’re more distracting than snacks…”

“Oh?” You raised an eyebrow. “That a bad thing?”

He turned, cheeks puffed out slightly. “No. You’re my favorite snack.” Cue a collective gasp from behind the rocks.

“DID HE JUST FLIRT?!” “WE NEED TO ALERT THE OTHERS.” “HE’S IN LOVE. IN. LOVE.” “Wait, does this mean he’ll share his snacks now?!”

“NO,” Murasakibara shouted without even turning. “Get your own.”

Later, as the sun began to set, you sat beside him, sharing snacks and watching the waves. His hand found yours, big fingers lacing between yours gently.

“I like you,” he said softly, eyes on the horizon. “More than snacks. That’s serious, y'know?”

You smiled, leaning into him.

“I know.”

And for once, Murasakibara didn’t ask for candy. Because the sweetest thing at the beach was already sitting right beside him.

Kise Ryouta

What do you do when it's 30 degrees outside? Hit the beach! The beach trip was in full swing, and if there was anyone who felt at home surrounded by sunshine, ocean spray, and a hundred opportunities to pose, it was Ryouta Kise.

“Oi Kise,” Kagami called, already half-buried in the sand thanks to a failed diving save, “stop looking at your reflection in the sunglasses and come play volleyball!”

“I would, but someone has to keep the aesthetics alive on this beach, y’know?” Kise grinned, flipping his golden hair and striking a finger-gun pose toward no one in particular.

“God, he’s unbearable today,” Aomine muttered, sipping from a juice box. “Even worse than usual.”

“Y/n-san’s not here,” Kuroko added calmly. “He’s trying to compensate.”

“Ohhh,” Takao grinned. “So he’s being extra because his sunshine isn’t around.”

“I heard that!” Kise whined, placing a dramatic hand over his heart. “And yes, I miss my lovely y/n-cchi. Is it a crime to mourn the temporary absence of beauty in this cruel world?!”

“YES,” the entire team shouted in unison.

Kise pouted, dramatically flopping back on a towel. “y/n-cchi had a thing with her friends… ughhh… If only I could clone her…”

But then—like the universe had heard his very Kise prayer—

He heard a familiar voice.

“Is this where all the cool kids are hiding?” Kise sat up… and the world paused.

There you were, standing at the top of the boardwalk stairs like you’d just stepped off a luxury fashion ad: sunglasses perched on your head, hair flowing in the breeze, a flowy beach wrap over a swimsuit that could stop traffic. You smiled down at him, waving casually like you weren’t the human embodiment of every model he’d ever worked with—and still somehow prettier.

His jaw dropped.

No, literally. Dropped. Mouth open, no sound. Just blinking.

“Kise?” you laughed, starting to walk toward him. “You okay?”

“…Y-You came,” he said in a whisper, still staring like you were a hallucination brought on by too much sun.

“I moved my meeting.” You winked. “Surprise!”

He stood up so fast he knocked over his cooler. Ice and drinks spilled across the sand. He didn’t notice. From behind, the team watched this unfold in awe.

“Is he… broken?” Kagami asked.

“Did his brain overheat?” Midorima adjusted his glasses. “There’s actual steam coming off his face.”

“THAT’S the face of a man who just saw his crush become a goddess in real time,” Aomine muttered, slightly jealous.

Kuroko tilted his head. “I didn’t know Kise-kun had a freeze function.”

Kise was still trying to form words as you stopped in front of him, smiling up at him.

“You’re not saying anything,” you teased. “What, cat got your tongue?”

“…You look…” he finally croaked.

“Yeah?”

“…You look like a dream. No. A vision. No—an ultra HD, airbrushed masterpiece from another dimension, oh my god, you’re going to kill me…”

You snorted, taking off your sunglasses and booping his nose. “You’re such a dork.”

“A dork in love!” he blurted dramatically, throwing his arms around you like he hadn’t just had a complete mental shutdown.

The team immediately exploded. “YOOOO DID HE JUST—” “CONFESSION ON THE BEACH, BABY!” “MIDORIMA OWES ME 500 YEN, I SAID HE’D SAY IT FIRST!” “Someone get a camera—WAIT—I AM the camera!!” Kise’s phone was already filming.

“I say it all the time!” Kise said, turning back to them. “You guys just never listen! Ugh! Don’t make this less romantic than it is!”

Then, turning back to you, he buried his face in your shoulder with a happy groan.

“You’re so stupidly pretty it hurts, y/n-cchi…”

You smiled, wrapping your arms around him. “You’re pretty stupid too. But I like you that way.”

“Can I frame that sentence,” he mumbled into your neck, “and keep it forever?”

—

And so, with Kise attached to you like a golden retriever who just found his favorite toy, the team gave up trying to tease him. Because even Kise Ryouta, the walking ray of sunshine with too many fans to count, completely short-circuited when it came to the one person who could actually make him speechless.

And you loved every second of it.

Akashi Seijuro

The sun shone high over the coast, casting a golden glow across the beach where the Generation of Miracles, plus a few honorary extras, had gathered for a rare day of fun. Volleyball nets had been set up, towels claimed, and snacks hoarded. Akashi Seijuro stood a short distance from the chaos, arms folded, a soft breeze brushing through his crimson hair as he watched the boys fumble through a very uncoordinated volleyball match.

“Too much power, Aomine.” “You didn’t say we were playing by rules, Midorima!” “Kagami just spiked it into his own face! AGAIN!”

Akashi sighed lightly. Chaos, as always.

“Still no word from y/n-san?” Kuroko asked gently, approaching with two bottles of water.

“She said she had a prior engagement with friends,” Akashi replied calmly, though the subtle tightening of his jaw gave him away. “It’s understandable.”

Kuroko tilted his head. “You seem disappointed.”

“I am not one to expect people to rearrange their schedules for me,” Akashi said. “However… I had hoped to see her.”

Just then, a familiar voice called out.

“Are you boys in need of a game-changer?”

Akashi blinked. Turning toward the sound, his breath hitched — ever so slightly. You stood at the edge of the court, one hand on your hip, the other holding your shoes. You wore casual beachwear, your hair pulled back, and an unmistakable glint of mischief in your eyes.

“I thought your friends had you booked?” Akashi asked, trying (and failing) to keep his composure.

“They bailed,” you said, strolling toward him. “And honestly, this seemed like a better offer.”

“I see,” he said, lips twitching into a subtle smile. “Then I’m glad you're here.”

Behind him, Kise howled. “OH MY GOSH SHE’S HERE—LOOK AT AKASHI-KUN’S FACE!”

“IS THAT A SMILE?!” Takao gasped.

“Calm yourselves,” Akashi said smoothly, turning without a shred of panic. “I smile all the time.”

“You smirk, dude. This is different,” Aomine pointed out, squinting. “You look… soft.”

Akashi cleared his throat. “Back to the game.”

You grinned. “Mind if I join? I play a mean back row.”

There was a pause.

“…You can join Akashi’s team,” Kuroko offered. “He’s losing.”

“I’m not losing,” Akashi corrected with a polite smile. “I am simply awaiting the right opportunity.”

He turned to you, offering his hand. “Shall we, then?”

You took it, surprised at the warmth in his gaze. “Let’s win this.”

The game began anew. And let it be known: you were a menace on the court.

You dove, spiked, and blocked with the energy of someone determined to impress — and it worked. Akashi, graceful and precise as always, met your moves with flawless setups and subtle, quiet compliments.

“Well done.” “Impeccable save.” “I’m honored to share the court with you.”

Each word was so Akashi: calm, confident, respectful… but behind it all was a steady, rising warmth in his voice meant just for you. And the team? Losing their minds.

“Since when is she an athlete?!” “Akashi is straight-up blushing every time she high-fives him!” “Kise fainted from jealousy three minutes ago.”

At one point, you dove for a save and landed with a dusty skid. Akashi was beside you in a heartbeat, offering his hand with a gentle, “Are you alright?”

“Perfectly,” you said, grinning as he pulled you up. “You worried?”

“I’d be remiss not to be,” he said softly, brushing sand from your shoulder like it was second nature.

By the time the game ended — with your team winning, of course — Akashi offered a rare, genuine laugh.

“You’ve thoroughly outshined all of us today.”

You smirked, breathless. “Then I guess I’m glad I came.”

He stepped closer, brushing a strand of hair from your face with that same elegant precision he used on the court.

“As am I,” he murmured. “Immensely.”

Cue the background chaos:

“DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA?!” “KAGAMI FELL INTO THE NET!” “AKASHI IS IN LOVE, I REPEAT—THE EMPEROR IS DOWN BAD!”

Akashi calmly turned toward the group. “Would you all please go hydrate?”

You just laughed, tugging on his wrist. “Come on, captain. Let’s get water before you use your emperor voice on them again.”

He followed, just a step behind, the faintest blush on his cheeks — a rare and beautiful thing. Because for once, on this sunny, chaotic beach day…you were the one stealing the spotlight from Akashi Seijuro.

And he absolutely didn’t mind.

Daiki was sprawled across a beach towel, arms folded behind his head, sunglasses shielding his eyes from the blazing sun. The rest of the Generation of Miracles and his Touou teammates were busy causing chaos—Kise was flexing for a group of girls, Kagami was arguing with Midorima about sunscreen, and Momoi was making everyone hydrate like a concerned parent. Daiki's team had been given time off by their coach because the temperatures in the gym were unbearable. Unknowingly, Taiga and Kuroko had decided to go to the beach too. On the way they picked up Midorima and Kise who wanted to go to the swimming pool. Murasakibara had been on the beach since early morning. He once again had to take care of Mara, his little sister.

“Yo, Aominecchi! You ever gonna move?” Kise called, tossing a beach ball at him, which Aomine caught without looking. The chaos on the volleyball court mainly consisted of figuring out how to use the field to play basketball.

“I am moving. I’m breathing, ain’t I?” he grunted, letting the ball roll off him. “Besides, this is my kind of training—sunbathing.” The new Mako Horiuchi magazine, secretly hidden under the sports bag, peaking out from the corner.

He closed his eyes again, letting the sun lull him into a comfortable daze, still kind of bummed that you couldn’t make it. Something about needing to study, midterm hell, blah blah…

He sometimes wondered what he saw in you. You were this tall, athletic, over achiever, academically unbeatable, hyper disciplined version of an 18 year old. The complete blessing to him. Sometimes he hated how much you held the mirror up to him. You were everything he wasn't…but would probably like to be. Especially on days like today. He was happy that you would come with him and the team. And you canceled because you have to study? Pathetic!He liked spending time with you, but to be completely honest…half of his insistence on you coming along was just a chance to see you…well, in beach clothes.

He’d only half listened, but it sucked not having you around. You were the one thing that made crowded group outings worth tolerating. That’s when he heard Kuroko’s voice, quiet but slightly amused: “Aomine, you might want to sit up.”

“Huh? What now—” he started, but stopped when he caught the direction of Kuroko’s gaze.

There you were, walking across the sand like some walking daydream, that trademark confident grin on your face. You were wearing a sporty, dark bikini—simple, sleek, but criminally flattering—and your (H/C) hair was tied up just the way he liked.

His jaw actually dropped.

You waved casually like you hadn’t just shattered his brain. “Surprise. Couldn’t let you have all the fun without me.”

He sat up so fast his towel flew back, sunglasses falling crooked down his nose. “Tch—what the hell… You said you were studying!”

“I finished early,” you said, strolling over. with a smile on your face “Thought I’d reward myself. And maybe you too.”

He was silent, which was rare, his eyes trailing over you without shame—until he realized Kise was staring too.

“Oi. Don’t look,” he barked, immediately yanking you down onto his lap and wrapping his arms around your waist.

Kise laughed nervously, hands up. “I wasn’t—! I mean—! Well okay, maybe a little—”

“Keep talking and I’ll bury you six feet under in the sand,” Aomine muttered, nuzzling into your shoulder to hide the flush creeping up his ears.

You leaned in, whispering against his cheek, “You good, ace? You’ve been staring like your brain just short-circuited.”

He huffed, still trying to act cool despite the red crawling up his neck. “Tch. Whatever. Just didn’t expect you to show up lookin’ like that.”

“Oh?” you teased. “You act like you’ve never seen me in a swimsuit.”

“Not one that makes it impossible to look at my idol posters the same way,” he muttered under his breath. He would never admit it, but the scih right in front of him…Mako would never be able to do it. Even if you take into account the fact that she was his favorite gravure model. and idol

You blinked. “What?”

“Nothin’.” He pulled you closer, smirking now as he rested his chin on your shoulder. “Just found a new favorite sight. That’s all.”

You smiled, heart fluttering, and let him hold you as the waves crashed nearby—while behind you, Momoi furiously snapped pictures, and the rest of the team tried to pretend they weren’t absolutely dying at how whipped Aomine had just exposed himself to be.

CRAZY MIGUEL X KNB RELATIONSHIP CHART !!!

explaining my bonds below...

with sei: well, there's not much to be said about my relationship with sei that i haven't already. we're in love, crossed paths by fate...and we generally look up to each other, especially each other's mental strength. we have also bonded over our traumas and we're honestly just recovering from our issues together. we're not saving eachother, we're staying by the other's side while we save ourselves. it's a mutual bond of understanding, pure, teenage love.

now i'll refer to myself in third person for the sake of making this easier to understand.

miguel is lowkey scared of kuroko. he's not familiar with him enough to actually notice his presence, so he just finds him scary whenever he's actually there. on the other hand, kuroko thinks neutrally of miguel, considering him a friend since they went to middle school together.

miguel is also ex-teammates with kise (from teiko) but they never really clicked. miguel is jealous of how easily kise sharpens his skills so horridly fast. he also finds kise's way of speaking truly annoying, and he doesn't hide it, often being a little bit mean to him. kise is scared of miguel because of that -- and due to his nonchalant personality. (yeah i'm so mysterious and cool)

now with midorima, it's a different story. they're good friends and often hang out with sei as well. what keeps them close is their pure belief on zodiacs. astrology really does it for them. (also, midorima is one of the people who knows about miguel's feelings for seijuro).

miguel never really had a strong bond with atsushi, but relates to him ("basketball is so cruel"). plus, when miguel hangs out with himuro (and shrii, sometimes) atsushi randomly decides to come. but at the same time, miguel is absolutely jealous of how atsushi is comfortable with food (the ed is kicking in).

for miguel, aomine was always just that kind of guy that used to tag along whenever the teiko gang went out to play ball. i suppose they consider eachother old friends, but now, their teams' rivalry speaks louder.

there's not much to say about kagami. miguel finds him annoying and too loud, kagami thinks miguel has a huge ego. plus their teams are rivals and both being utterly ambitious, their personalities clash.

momoi and miguel are good friends and have been since teiko era! he was there for her when the first string was collapsing, and he often listened to her rants. despite being in different high schools, they often exchange long phonecalls to catch up on each other's life.

haizaki and miguel never really got along, specially after listening to nijimura complain about him all the time. now, hearing about how he acted in the winter cup (miguel wasn't playing), he just started disliking him strongly. it's like the vibes were never really there and he just needed a reason to not like haizaki. but haizaki never really cared for miguel that much, he wasn't really all that present during teiko era.

takao and miguel are just friends. :) . they met through shintarou. there's not much to say about them, they don't talk that much but they find each other's humor amusing.

himuro and miguel are close to best friends! they bonded over their music taste (2000's emo) and fashion sense, plus himuro understands miguel's main struggles and also knows that he likes sei. they get together sometimes to go to disc shops around kyoto or play ball!

now for the shocker. miguel and nijimura are half brothers (from different fathers) wow! shocker! miguel is the younger brother. he looks up to nijimura a lot, and has always been jealous of the time he got to spend with seijuro.

reo and miguel are close, since they're in the same class at rakuzan. when miguel moved to the first string, they instantly clicked because their gaydar started beeping INSTANTLY, no matter how much miguel tried to hide it. reo ended up finding out about miguel's feelings for sei and he does feel jealous of their bond; but the happiness for his friends is greater than that. also, he is always suggesting that miguel challenges himself by trying one of his sweets. miguel has denied until today but one day it WILL happen.

hayama finds miguel weird, but he's "part of the family" so he is his usual loud self around him too. hayama calls him "mikas". they're just friends and teammates.

nebuya and miguel get along well, they're a little closer than miguel and hayama. nebuya had a bad habit of telling miguel to "bulk up" and it had to be sei telling him to cut it out for him to stop. though, nebuya was just worried about him. now everything's fine though and they hang out together sometimes with the rakuzan gang.

mayuzumi and miguel have been friends since miguel's first year of high school, since they're both into anime and light novels (although they prefer different genres). they don't speak much now, since chihiro is in college, bt miguel looks up to mayuzumi for continuing to play basketball even after graduating and never letting anyone step on his dignity, despite how restrictive his abilities used to be.

choromatsu handwriting post

compiled all of choromatsus handwriting that i could find bc i love him

i realize these were all made by different teams and have different sources (anime/games/webkuji/etc) but there are some similarities between them all and i think its cute. i'll try to make it easier for ppl that cannot read japanese too

(note: some of these may or may not be valid criticisms, im not a native japanese speaker but i got my bachelors in japanese. idk if this means anything to anyone im just pointing out things that im noticing and maybe it will be interesting to you. if you notice anything else interesting feel free to add)

commonalities i noticed:

sometimes will combine multiple character strokes into one (normal thing to do, i've seen some native speakers do this)

with a few exceptions (mt takao for some reason), generally neat handwriting. proper and easy to read. not too big, not too small, not over stylized, but not messy either. very choromatsu

letter in s1e24

very nice handwriting, legible and neat. this is closest to how i think i would picture his handwriting. i know that the staff across different ososan things probably don't care too deeply about keeping minute handwriting details consistent and that's why they're all gonna look different but i like this one best for him.

new years cards in s2e13

very cute, love the stupid drawing of himself. everything very nice and tidy. to me these characters look a much curlier and rounder than the ones in the letter.

for both the letter and the new years cards it looks like he was careful to properly write out all the strokes of the kanji, even for more complicated ones like 緊張 and 就職. we see in mt takao that his handwriting gets a LOT messier. i know the real reason is because it was probably different animators that did his handwriting, but i'm choosing to believe that in canon it's because both of these are more fancy/formal letters addressed to people, whereas the trip guide is just for him and his brothers and doesn't necessarily need to look nice.

also i adore his tendency to add little drawings to things, like this and the mt takao guide he's everything

trip guide from mt. takao s3e8. his handwriting here, for some reason, is exceptionally bad especially compared to everything else. he writes like a little kid and i love his shitty little drawings. he's so cute.

my teachers would always correct my kanji down to the tiniest strokes, if i wrote like this is class i would get scolded so bad. you can see him combining his strokes together for 記念撮影, this will continue for the other pictures too. cute detail imo

the 昼 in 昼食 is definitely written wrong, but the second kanji 食 might be a little nitpicky. technically that bottom part is three different strokes, not two crossed over each other

more of him combining the strokes together. i wouldn't necessarily say that's wrong, since i've seen people do that before; it's probably just a habit that happens over time. i do it in english too

HOWEVER, he did write the 日 radical in 撮影 wrong here. previously, i thought he was just combining strokes again so that it looked like three lines instead of two (note 3 and 4 are two parallel lines, he just didn't lift his pen up)

but when you look at this it's clear that he very much did write three lines this time. that's the wrong radical

anyway

another example of him writing a two stroke character with just one. again, this is fine, ive seen people write their characters like this. however it looks bad when he does it here

i love how he wrote "campfire" i love how for some reason he didn't keep the letter sizing consistent or straight. also his little campfire drawing

１９時

キャンプ

ファイヤー

also there's two ways to write そ, its just a matter of choice its not important but he writes it the second way. and he messed up a kanji again

these next ones are maybe less canon cause they're not from the show itself

Airport Matsu

very tidy, combines a couple strokes together. both 松 (matsu) characters look like he combines the last two strokes together instead of writing them as two separate ones

and he does a similar thing with the right half of 野 in Matsuno

nostalgic moments webkuji

this one he writes every stroke and doesn't combine them and that's probably because different people worked on these and the tiny details like this don't matter to anyone but me. or you could say that he wrote a little neater in high school and started simplifying things as he got older.

Rock School

he drew himself again lol

i think his handwriting looks very good here actually. idk how to describe it but i like when handwriting looks like this specific way in japanese. i've seen other people that have handwriting like this and it just looks so nice. like the characters seem to vary in size, but somehow it makes it a little easier to read imo?

like in the first bullet point (underlined in yellow), the す in 多すぎる is a little big, but like it looks nice. in the second bullet point (blue), the の in 世の中 is slightly smaller but it emphasizes the kanji on either side of it. the stroke on the side of the か characters are written a little longer than usual (red). like it just looks nice, everything is shaped really nice and whenever i see people that have this handwriting i always try to emulate it lol

Neetpro

this one is a bit messier than the others. the way he wrote チョロ just doesn't look as nice as the way he wrote it in airport matsu and nostalgic moments. the way the て is written is more curved compared to the others. also the 界 kanji (blue) is written in a way that looks weird to me, and kara from this same set also writes the kanji that way so i think the same person might have written all of them lol

also interesting is that he writes き differently in this one

i was told by one of my professors that you're supposed to write さ and き with the upper and lower parts disconnected when writing by hand. it's only in text that they're connected. but i've still seen some people write them in the connected way

in all the other examples, choromatsu doesn't write them connected like that, just this one.

sukiya app

my lovely boy and his nonsense words and lies. the handwriting here comes off as very cutesy to me, at least compared to the others. some of the ways he writes, especially any box-like shape, seems round in a way. he also connects the right half of 野 again.

overall writes very neatly, altho a lot of the kanji here seems like its very big on the top and smaller on the bottom, and a lot of the letters seem more rounded. all the other examples just feel like the writing is a bit more angular, with the exception of the new years cards.

extra: coloring book

the way he wrote his name here is messier than the other examples. i like that he added little commentary on his own coloring though ("looks good!" "the tail was black too i believe") maybe he colored this with a paintbrush????? the strokes look as if he was trying to write quickly with a brush as if it was a pen. so maybe that's why its a little messier

anyway thanks for reading. i love choromatsu

[summer-nights19]

Hey author, can I get a request for GOM who have a S/O who can be really mean and Blunt on the outside but kind secretly (On the outside, they can act like Jade West or Karma Akabane but to those who are close to them, They can be gentle, kind, caring, and funny).

Hii Erina :> I love this concept so much omd (and it's so fun to meet another knb writer)

GoM x S/O who's like Jade West

Akashi

When he first met you, he was intrigued- most people respected or feared him, so he was shocked when you were seemingly unintimidated. While it bothered him, it also made him feel indescribably linked to you

Now, he loves that you have a softer and kinder side that you only show him and a few other people. He's quite possessive, and it makes him feel like you're his

Because he knows how rare that side of you is, he treasures it even more, though he doesn't tell you often

It was definitely an enemies/rivals to lovers kind of relationship

Appreciates how blunt you are- he despises fake people and sees it as a strength of yours (plus it means guys don't usually try to hit on you - it's very clear you're not interested)

Definitely tells you to watch your attitude jokingly

Aomine

Another enemies to lovers - you'd always argue over the stupidest things

Over time however, you realised you had more in common than you thought and you understood each other

Opening up to each and developing trust other took time - he appreciated it even more knowing you don't normally let people in

Teases you about how different you act when you guys are alone, but he actually kinda likes knowing you so deeply compared to everyone else (also, he's the same-)

You guys definitely spend hours laughing together and bitching about people that piss you off

If you have a goth/alt aesthetic like Jade, he's secretly into it

Kise

Definitely tried to hit on you from the start. The fact that if didn't work only made him more resilient

Initially, you found the way he tried so hard to get to know you and always hung around you very annoying, and you made that painfully clear

However, over time, he showed you he was on your side and genuinely cared about you, so you gradually behan to open up and show him the softer side of your personality

Now, you two do everything and go everywhere together

Teases you about being an "emo kid" (he loves your look really)

Is secretly entertained when you pick fights with his groupies

Sunshine x grumpy kind of dynamic

Thinks your rare smiles are everything and does everything he can to make you happy

Midorima

You met when you were paired up together for a class project

It was very painful at first - you were both stubborn and unwilling to compromise, so you spent hours insulting each other

But, with the deadline looming, you managed to figure out how to work together and ended up getting an A* on that project

You started respecting each other and seeing each other's good qualities (although neither one of you admitted it)

Takao probably realised Midorima liked you way earlier than Midorima himself and teased him relentlessly because of it

Definitely a slow burn, but when you guys became close, Midorima completely fell in love with your soft side

At the start of the relationship, communication felt awkward and difficult at times, but the deeper your bond got, the easier it became as you grew less guarded around each other

Gets flustered very easily around you, especially if you compliment him

Your flirting looks more like insulting each other

Murasakibara

Friends to lovers - you guys would just chill together because you found everyone else's company intolerable

Will insult the hell out of each other but fight anyone who insults the other one

At first, he just saw you as funny and sharp tongued. But, when you grew closer and began to trust each other, he saw the other side of your personality and grew to adore it

Took him months to realise why he loved your company so much and he remained in denial for ages after that

Very possessive/jealous (you tease him a lot because of it)

Becomes a sweetheart when you're alone

You guys mostly do chill things together like relaxing at home while eating snacks and watching TV

Masterlist

[stroblitz]

Takao and his rivals!~

Base/Pose from here

I'm classing his rivals as either people he wanted to beat (Ralf, Yuriy, Brooklyn, Kai) or those who wanted to beat him (Ozuma, Zeo/Leon, Kai, Garland). If someone wasn't included, just know there are 7 dolls in the original base, and I wanted to do these guys.

[tetsunabouquet]

Omg i just found your blog and its just what i need. What do you think about imayoshi, midorima and hanamiya with a very enthusiasm reader who for sure has adhd???!?? I mean, once i read somewhere thats imayoshi dosent like enthusiasm woman or somethin like that.

A/N: Here you go, a drabble for each!

Midorima

He was your calm other half, and you were the energy crackling under his skin visible to the naked eye. His bouncy other half. At first, people were a tad bit surprised when the two of you starting dating, that Midorima was interested in someone so, well, unlike him. Until they saw how well the two of you balanced each other out, and then everyone had declared it a match made in heaven. And thus there you were, at the front in the audience. Wearing a cheerleader uniform. It was Takao's idea, considering your enthusiasm whenever you came to watch Midorima play. You always came up with fanchants for Midorima in days leading up to big games like these. Your easily distracted mind, would often drift to them in class and you'd practise them during lunch break. It was the only form of humiliation that Midorima would put up with, but they always felt like they boosted his confidence once he was actually hearing them when playing. Your fanchants were like magic spells, but he knew that when he'd utter that out loud he'd sound horribly stupid. So he only ever told you that when no one was around. You couldn't even sit still in the train, so Midorima kept you occupied with a game of 'I Spy', partially also to distract himself from the nerves of having to play. He really didn't knew how games would be like without you now, without your fanchants lifting him up higher then the skies. Without your nervous energy reflecting what he felt on the inside when you gave him a good luck kiss. He needed you to cheer him on, so it was rather fitting for you, even though Takao had suggested it as a way to tease Midorima. If he were to be honest, the cute cheerleader outfit that just happened to be in Shutoku's team colors was doing something to him that he was trying very hard not to think about. So when the other team remarked Shutoku seemed to have a cute cheerleader, Midorima couldn't help but make the remark you were his girlfriend with absolute pride. He certainly made sure to kiss you for it, after he left the locker room during the breaks. "Thank you for being my good luck charm. Your energy is always so contagious." And to this, you smile.

Imayoshi

The moment he saw you, a whirlwind of energy as you raced through the infirmary that time he sprained his ankle during basketball training, he fell in love with you right away. You used your hyper-activity as a way to keep an of the To-Oh students with the misfortune to land themselves in the infirmary, cheerful. You were the leader of the school's health club who helped the nurse at the infirmary, and everyone knew you as the sunshine of the infirmary. Everyone's favorite clown. Imayoshi loved how you used your nature to the benefit of others, how you turned what others might perceive as a weakness into a strength. You were clever and attentive, not just some loose cannon that would annoy him. And he was overjoyed when you said yes to being his girlfriend. He loved greeting you each morning, loved the feel of your hand on his, his arms around you. He loved the little things, like whenever you were bored and hyper to do something, you'd bake him something nice. Imayoshi considered himself quite the lucky man, having a girlfriend such as yourself. You were waving your arms around as you bounced off the stairs, "Shou, good morning!" You chirped, your hair falling in place with such a slow pace Imayoshi would wonder the air wanted to take a chance and play with your hair. Imayoshi couldn't blame the air if it wanted to do so. He grabbed hold of your hand, and grinned. "Shall we go to class?" You nodded enthusiastically and you were swinging the hand holding Imayoshi's as the two of you walked to class. Five months ago, doing something so bold across the hallways would have perplexed many. For Imayoshi wasn't known for being a silly person, except for his drawings or when he wanted to get under someone's skin, but you just opened him up in a whole new kind of way. Sometimes, it felt like his only delight were these little moments the two of you shared, and he'd gaze sleeplessly at the ceiling all night long, thinking of you. It was the experience of young love, so sweet and tender. Even a clever fox like Imayoshi would be humbled and left a fool in its face.

Hanamiya

When he first spotted you, bouncing cheerfully across the hallway, he was struck by how innocent and gleeful your expression was. It lit up your beauty in a way that he previously had only read about in novels with a romantic plot- ones he'd never admit to read to others for the sake of his own pride. My oh my, did the bad boy of the Kirisaki team experience the wonders of love at first sight? The joy in your steps was so pure, the energy bright and sparkling like fireworks. To Hanamiya, you were a mesmerizing sight. Before he knew it, he felt himself rigging team games during P.E class for you and watching your every move from the shadows, like a predator waiting for his prey. To attack and snatch your heart at the perfect time. Hanamiya had made sure to have planned it out perfectly, threatening any student who'd dare to come close to the music room, where he had planned his confession considering you were fond of drumming as a way of releasing your energy. He'd also made sure that they wouldn't utter to you that he had threatened them to begin with. He didn't wanted to receive a scolding from you. You always kept him from crossing too many lines after you had started dating. Energetic, pure and honest, you were pretty much the opposite of his character. Which he liked. It was so often exhausting, to be so much more intelligent then everyone else. Having someone so drastically different then himself yet understood what it's like to be unlike the rest was incredible. To finally be able to sit down next to you, lay his head on your shoulder and just let all his frustrations with annoying stupid people's opinions wash away, was something he had desperately needed for a while now. He smiled as he watched you sprint your way towards him. No one else, other then you, would approach him with such upbeat energy, everyone seemed to be cautious because of the dark rumors about his character. But not you. You actually tried to understand. As you reached him, he wrapped his arms around you, like the threads of a web holding onto a spider's prey. He was going to hold onto you, with all of his strength.

The Gauntlet! - 2

In a world where BEGA wins, Beyblader Hiromi wants to create her own BBA. And she's dragging Kai along.

✧.*

In spite of Kai’s suggestion to approach Takao like a normal person. Hiromi does not approach Takao like a normal person.

Her notes are as follows. 

“Kinomiya Takao.

Age: I think he’s younger than me. So hah! 

Beyblade: Dragoon/Seiryuu.

He has a big brother who no one knows what he’s doing. Bit-beast archaeology, but BEGA bought out BBA NYC and their associated labs and all their research. But his brother isn’t really relevant right now. 

She stares at the back of his head and at the cap, which he refuses to take off. He’ll put it on religiously during lunch. He’ll take it off when Sensei enters class. He slouches on his seat. Like you’d have one of those yankees. She watches him try to reach a particularly itchy spot at the back of his head, as he takes off his cap. And then he itches himself and then props it. 

There’s a rumor going around in school that Kinomiya Takao—former leader of the G-revs, reigning BBA world champion—was offered the opportunity to join BEGA multiple times, but he’d just refused. She can see Seiryuu inside his desk. 

Hiromi doesn’t think he looks like a teen heart throb. He’s kind of slouchy. Maybe it’s coz he’s been on TV. Or world champion. Being on TV makes people like you better, huh? She wonders offhandedly, as her mind is wandering. It’s like—

She narrowed her eyes and scritched it down. 

”You keep staring at me,” he said, as he walked over to her desk, and he slams his hand down on the desk. “What is your problem?” 

She stares at him with wide eyes. 

”I know you wore that cap for like two tournaments—no, three of them—do you even wash it?” she said in panic. 

The class stared at her. He stared at her. His eye twitched.

”Huhh!?” 

The class burst into laughter. 

✧.*

“I blew it,” she told Kai. She flumped on his bed. 

Kai stared at her. “Can you please get off my bed? I don’t like people who’ve been outside on my bed. I’d like to keep it clean.” 

She slunk back down on the floor, as she pouted. His bed is really nice and flumpy though for her achy back. 

His butler let her in. He has a golden retriever called Mon-chan. His mom and Grandpa and Dad are out on vacation or something. Hiromi thinks his grandpa’s weird. But then again, if she messages Kai, I’m coming over—he’d never say, “Don’t.” 

Hiromi thinks that people have a weird impression of Kai—especially the street bladers, who tells her, “Wow, he’s friendlier than I’d imagined.” 

And Hiromi gets confused, because out of her and Johnny—when they were younger—Kai was the sensible one. He’s the one watching on while she and Johnny are rolling around in the mud, because he stole her ribbon. Or when the two of them really start fighting each other. 

Or maybe if you’ve known a ridiculous, arrogant, annoying McGregor for most of your life, Kai’s personality is rather… tame in comparison. He minds his own business. Gets cocky when it’s time to beyblade. Doesn’t flaunt his riches. Studies. Likes animals and his mum. 

Maybe all they see is his cocky side. 

Maybe there’s a difference between Kai Hiwatari the beyblader—for the public—and the Kai she knows. 

Kai’s room is fairly plain and expensive. He has an expensive looking bed. There’s a beyblade dish stuffed in his closet. He has a walk in closet. 

He’s got balcony windows, and he actually puts up physics charts on the wall. She can hear Mon-chan skittering around in the garden and barking at a squirrel. He probably doesn’t have a lot of clutter around the room, because of Mon-chan, who knocks everything over. They also have a siamese cat called Choco-chan somewhere around the house. But Hiromi’s been unsuccessful at getting her to like her. 

Kai squints at his homework. He’s a year older than her. 

“Can you check my Japanese homework?” 

“What?”

She pushed her Japanese homework to him. 

“Anyways, I blew it with Kinomiya—I asked Kinomiya if he washes his ratty cap, coz I got so nervous. I think you should talk to him.”

Kai gave her a look in disbelief.  

“Why does that mean that I have to talk to him?” 

“Isn’t he your teammate?!” 

He sighed. 

“You got this paragraph wrong,” he said, as he circled it. 

“Do you guys not get along or something?” she asked in confusion. “Is it like a Johnny situation—where he used to never get ‘long with the Majestics.” 

“Speaking of Johnny,” Kai said. “What are you planning to do with him?” 

“He’s joined BEGA with the Majestics,” she said. “What’s there left to do with him?” 

“Hm. You got this one wrong too. Redo these three.” He scribbled redo on it. 

“Kai, I don't really care what BEGA does. I just care about what little community we have here. I don’t want to bring BEGA down or anything. I want to be better than BEGA, while they attract normies. We need something for the street bladers.” 

“Then why do you want Kinomiya to join? Or for that matter, Rei. This niche is not up their alley. What if either of them do like the fame.” 

“Well, I just thought it’d be fun, no? I like Rei’s beyblding style! More challenges the better. Besides, you lot are doing absolutely nothing.” 

That annoys him, so he says nothing. 

“May as well go indie, because I don’t think there’s a world—even in the face of everything—street blading will ever just flop and die.” 

Hiromi opts to just stare at his writing. He’s got nicer handwriting than her. Slanted and all. She’s always so—reasonable and precise and janky, because she writes so fast, and scribbles out something coz she’s overthinking and gets worked up over something or the other. 

Johnny suprisingly had the prettiest writing. Ever. And thinking of him gets her all annoyed. 

Hiromi huffed. “Why would Johnny do that? He’s such a loser, I swear.” 

“Maybe because different people have their own reasons,” he said. She stared unhappily at her homework. “I know most bladers in BEGA may not agree with whatever they believe in. But eventually—they want a place where they can compete. Even Rei—who you seem to admire so much—may join BEGA eventually. We sound like fools to the public. He’s not the type to sit around.” 

“Right,” Hiromi said. “BEGA would be perfect for you, wouldn’t it?”

He looked up at her in annoyance. 

“You’re a professional beyblader,” she said. “You will always get the best gear and make sure you’re absolutely fit and in tip-top shape. You’re not really motivated by anything intellectual or strategic.” 

He glared at her.

”Are you saying I’m stupid?” 

She laughed. “You’re motivated by ambition though, right? I’m just saying, you’re similar to Johnny—so why not join BEGA? He and his team are absolutely part of BEGA to represent Europe as beybladers.”

“Because of you.” 

“Huh?!” 

”Players like you,” he said plainly. “At least one day, you’d have had an opportunity to join a BBA competition. BEGA doesn’t provide you with that opportunity. The world is bigger than a few top players.”

Hiromi blinked. 

“So our Gauntlet will be the new BBA?” 

“If it affords new beybladers the opportunity to come up and shine,” he said. “Why not?” 

“I’m trying to think quite hard about how to separate myself from these BEGA folks, before we get sued! We are in BEGA town, after all!” 

“Right.” 

“I don’t really want teams,” she said. “Restricts too much. Just—people should hold their own. Also maybe I should allow any kind of tricks. Like if you beyblade with two blades.” 

“How is that fair? Also teamwork is also… a skill.” 

“Right, right—we can bend the rules here and there but it’s street blading! You can use two blades too! Mebbe a smokebomb bey! Lazer lights!” 

“Most people aren’t into this niche of yours…”

“You’re so right! You’re so right! I forgot we’re trying to attract normies!” 

She flopped back in frustration, hitting her head against the wall with a pout. Kai’s siamese cat, peeked at her from the closet. 

✧.*

They end up eating snacks which his butler made, and Kai had his orange juice. Hiromi asked for just plain water. 

“What made street blading and BBA parts so appealing to use is the customization. Maybe if we get enough money through donations, we can buy out the old patents from BEGA—like previous generations. Besides, BEGA would want to create their own beyblades eventually. Why would they want those old patents? Then we manufacture our own parts I guess?” 

“Hm. You’ve really thought about this, haven’t you?” 

“I’ve gotten everyone on Whale social riled up about the idea, and now we’re selling old parts and making money.” 

He gave her a funny look.

“Oh.” 

“What?” 

“So that’s what that pile of parts are doing in your room, huh?” 

She broke into a grin. 

“I tell everyone I run a beyblade part black market!” she said with a laugh. 

“So you guys started a community,” Kai said. “On… Whale social. How many people have you gotten interested in?” 

He picked up his bottle of water. He took a sip. 

“U-um,” she said. She pulled up whale social on her phone. “We’ve got around 5k people interested in these tournaments world wide.” 

He inhaled his juice

Hiromi blinked as he was coughing.

”Five thousand.” 

“Kai did you think Street blading was just a handful of people.” 

Mon-chan plodded into the room.

”Hi Mon-chan!!” Hiromi said as he bounded over to give her a fat lick. She laughed as she wrestled her rms around him. “What? I told you—I’m starting a revolution. And a big part of street blading hatred for BEGA is probably the subscription membership card and not having access to older generation of parts—coz we’re a customization community. Once we start designing our own things… we’ll be able to push our own beyblades.”

He stared at her.

“Oh, Huh.” 

✧.*

After dinner, he walked her home. He’s on her phone.

Whale social is a platform where you make communities. 

This particular forum is Street blading—but it’s nicknamed something funny like “Cheese Bladers.” Hiromi tells him there’s a larger street blading community, but the advice there is “bloody useless” and infiltrated by rude people. There’s around 103k members as opposed to the 5k on this one. 

She says she knows most people in here. Not all 5k of course, but it’s a far more reliable community. At least people say please and thank you. 

But the truth is, Hiromi told him, that London, NYC, Toronto, Paris, Melbourne—these communities have large numbers, and they’ve somehow, by word of mouth, made this online forum community within Whale social. 

Street blading communities are built around public spaces anyway. Parks, indoor beyblading parks—whatever. So people tend to meet up. Travelling beybladers. Kids from school. Neighborhoods. But within the larger sphere is ‘Cheese bladers,’ Hiromi explains. A network of beybladers who just think a bit more extreme and are a bunch of the nerdiest nerds, and they like their blading tricks and their gangs. And they don’t mind getting their blades absolutely decimated.” 

Kai winced.

“For science!” she said as she made jazz hands. 

He huffed. 

”Everything for a good beybattle hahaha. So years ago, we came up with this fun idea, the gauntlet. And it’s caught on since.” 

“So this is not your idea?” 

“We all—and by we, I mean street bladers came up with the idea. It’s basically a series of challengers that you must make your way through—but the battles are insanely hard. And it’s a mad test of endurance.” 

He raised an eyebrow.

”It’s like not over a series of days. It's the last man standing in the bey-pit! There’s only two beys in the pit—you’re either the hero or the challengers!” He looked at her.

”So if I picked you as the hero,” she said, spinning around as she pointed at him. “You have to beat me, the first challenger. Then the second. and then the third.” 

“And if I lose?” 

“The challenger that beat you becomes the hero. It’s an absolute test of endurance. And we’ll make it insanely hard too. Like adding things to the bey-dish. Oh, we definitely interfered with the bey-dish, like I remember Jett creating this insane lazer that follows your beyblade.” 

She stopped. He stopped.

”So, will you survive or fail in this gauntlet, hero?” she asked him with a challenging grin.

Kai stared at her. It’s like—something in him changed—as he was considering. the idea. He got a glint in his eye as he then smiled.

”The half pipe stadium needs more stability.” 

“Huh?!” she said.

“If we get around a 100 signups per session, we’re definitely going into the night. The logistics of this is iffy.” 

“Well, I’m sure we could tweak it. But its supposed to be a test of endurance. I’m sure we could break it apart—-like 25 per session. I feel like you wouldn’t need to worry about odd numbers.” 

“Hm. Good idea. You can also design new platforms per session.” 

“I want it to be absolutely brutal though,” Hiromi said. “Sadistic.” 

He smiled at her. It wasn’t a very nice smile. “Really now?” He raised an eyebrow.  

“Hit me with your best shot!” She shot a finger gun at him.

✧.*

“Along with all the challenges. But they all collectively hate BEGA parts, so we’re scrounging around for second hand parts.”

And Kai scrolls through the posts thoughtfully. 

There’s the selling tab, where they’ve been selling beyblade parts here. 

Hiromi has been selling parts. 

“Shipping included, please,” she writes on one of them, where the guy doesn’t respond back. 

But so far, she’s sold quite a bit of parts—a whole box, as she says. “I get it! Shipping is expensive from Japan, but we’ve created a bank account for our business which we’ve named Cheese Bladers. It’s based in NYC, and Peter’s in charge of it. Oooh! I’ll have you meet Peter, he’s lovely!” 

“Please rename.” 

“Hahaha. We’re actually considering it!”

✧.*

Hiromi came over the next day too. Their homework lay abandoned.

He’s staring at her. His dog—Mon-chan is also sitting there, just happily.

“Any questions?” Hiromi asked happily. “Yes, Mon-chan?” Mon-chan cocked his head. “Of course, thank you! I did a really good job, didn’t I?” 

Kai stared at her. 

He then held out his hand.

“Expense book.” 

“Huh, well.” 

She reached inside and pulled out a flowery book which had stickers on it. 

He opened it. He looked through all the logged expenses.

‘Why did you spend on stickers? And why did you spend on smoke bombs?” 

“Huh?! What? But they’d totally add a challenge—imagine if something goes kapow!! And then you go like Waaaah! What’s going on?! And I knock your beyblade out like Poof through the smoke?” 

“Can it be returned?” 

“Yes…?” 

“Return it.” 

“You have limited funds. This whole thing may as well go underwater. Not to mention, the upkeep costs of the stadium when someone destroys it,” he said as he drummed his finger on the table.

“Huh?!” 

“You have the credit card, don’t you?” 

“Yes!” 

“I’m putting myself in charge of expenses.” 

“H-Huh?!”

“Why did you spend on food?” 

“We um—got hungry?” she said awkwardly. “While we were building the platform!” 

“The platform needs something to reinforce it, or we’ll have a safety hazard and injuries.” 

Hiromi looked unhappy. “These are a lot of grown up decisions!” 

“They can all get their own food. Do not repeat this.” 

“B-buh! Smoke bombs?” 

“Why don’t you just… rent a smoke machine?” 

“H-huh?! That’s brilliant!” She clapped her hands together. 

He palmed his face as he stared at the rest of the expenses, while Hiromi got excited. 

“What about a star-projector?” 

“Not needed.” 

“B-but we have to think about the mood!” 

“I’m sure Max has one if you’re really hellbent on this…” 

“Huh? So we’re inviting him too?” 

✧.*

Hiromi jogged up to Kai, as school ended. He was waiting outside her school, arms folded, looking up at the Sakura trees which lined her highschool, as people streamed out. 

“Were you waiting long?” she asked him. 

“No,” he said. “C’mon.” 

“Sensei told me that my Japanese improved. Thanks for the help! That’s why he held me back. I was kind of trying to hint at him that I wanted to leave.” 

“Yeah, it’s fine,” he said. 

She adjusted her bag. And she didn’t see a brown haired boy with glasses looking their way mouth hanging open. 

“You kinda stick out,” she said. 

“Yes, obviously.” 

“I think our uniforms are better though. I don’t know if your girl’s school uniform are good.”  

“I go to an all boy’s school.” 

“Right, I went to an all girl’s school in London. Getting used to co-ed is an absolute shock!” she said. “I bet you went to an all boy’s school to avoid your fangirls. Did you know Takao has fangirls? Kai, you should tell me your experience with fangirls.” 

“Have you made any friends?” 

“Not friends, Well—just one girl—but she seems to be a loner herself,” HIromi said. “She’s really smart at lessons. She asks me a lot of questions about London.” 

They walk around, as Hiromi talks his ear off. If Kai doesn’t like a topic, he shifts it. But she really wants to know his experience with fangirls, and they come to a stop in front of Mizuhara’s Hobby Shop. 

Kai looked up.

“You know…” she said. “I’d never seen him around, and I visit this shop like once a week, just to see if they have parts I like.” 

✧.*

Max stared at the two of them. Max’s dad looked super surprised but he graciously let them in anyway. He got them tea and biscuits, and he bowed out of the room. Max’s cute four year old sister wanted to come play, but his Dad took her away, while Hiromi made a fishy glob glob face at her and she raised her hand with a big gummy smile. 

Max’s room looks lived in. But it’s got more personality, and lights, and posters littering the wall. He’s got his studies and books on the table.  She heard he goes to an international school. Her Dad wanted to put her there, since she’s not used to Japanese schooling. 

There’s figurines everywhere, and you’ll see Draciel all dusty on the shelf overhead. 

Then Kai spoke to Max. 

Max stared at them. He pushed his hands into his knee. 

“I mean,” he pointed his two fingers together. “Street blading. I’ve never done it.” 

“Sure you have,” Kai said. “Everytime you beyblade on the ground—you street blade.” 

“That aside,” Hiromi said excitedly. “It’s kind of fun! You should come by.” 

“Hahah,” he said. “Really now? I don’t feel like beyblading anymore. It’s kind of—well, difficult to look Takao in the eye. He’s kind of jumpy and all.” 

“Kinomiya’s not part of it,” Kai says. “Frankly, irregardless of what he thinks, or whether he’d like to be part of this…” 

“Yet!” Hiromi said. “Just working on that. He’s in my class, but I think he hates me.” 

“Due to no one’s fault but her own,” Kai added.

“I just asked him about his ratty cap!” 

Kai rolled his eyes. 

Max stared between them. He grinned slowly and nervously. “I’m not sure if I’m the right guy.” 

“Do you have a star-projector?” Hiromi asked him. 

“Yes,” he said.

“Then you’re the best guy!” She clapped her hands. 

“O-oh okay?!” 

Kai folded his arms. “It’s up to you. Come by, see how it goes—if you hate it, you don’t have to be part of it. But I feel—after whatever we’ve done together—you may like it.” 

Max blinked. “Really? Coming from you…that’s…” 

“I like the idea,” Kai said.

Hiromi blinked.

“I like what they are doing so far,” he said. “But perhaps, this could be the new BBA for the beyblade world. You get the challenge of beyblading people across the globe. It’s built by street bladers. They are building their own stadiums, own beylades. There’s—no glory in this, or fame, yet. But I feel as if people here are pretty sincere about beyblading.” 

Hiromi looked down with a very happy smile. 

Max listened intently as he played with his sweatband. 

“Street bladers—by large and far—are usually concerned with hacks or builds or creative new ideas or being nerdy about physic,” he said, as he jutted his thumb at Hiromi. “They prefer to seek challenge or so. So perhaps, it reminds me of the older days. You’re probably not winning anything like PPB as part of BEGA—but it’s… fun.” 

He shrugged.

“You may like it.” 

She beamed.

And then she nodded.

Max then smiled hesitantly again. 

“Can I think about it,” he asked. “Er…” 

“Sure!” Hiromi said. “Can I have a piece of paper—I’ll write the address! It’s a bit of an off location, but it’s got it’s charm. Smells a bit fishy, and like sea-water and rust—but hey, it’s charming in its own way. Hope you don’t mind. You can pretend to be a pirate, like I do.” She helped herself to his starry notebook, tearing off a paper, and pulling out a pen from her backpack, as she wrote down the address. “But I think it’s the best place in this leaguer city.” 

Max looked at Kai for help. Kai just shrugged.

She handed him the address.

“When you’ve made up your mind, you should just show up! And take part in our lil’ gauntlet or whatever. Oh, there’s my number.” 

✧.*

As they are leaving Max’s shop, his Dad waved them off, and promised Hiromi he'd get more of the parts she wanted.

“Did you return the smoke bomb?” 

“I did—one of them.” 

“I want the money back in the account.” 

“Hehehe, can’t we just have one?” 

“You can… make them with your own allowance. Let’s keep this money for the stadium and the repairs. We haven’t even factored what to do if there’s a cyclone-weather.” 

“Right, we definitely didn’t think of that.” 

Kai stares up at the blue sky lost in thought. He’s going to have to hire someone who knows what they are doing. That’s when Hiromi just spins around, startling him, as he glances at her. She’s looking up at Max’s window. He gets startled. 

She grins brightly at him, as she waves, and she jumps up and down. 

“BRING THE STAR PROJECTOR WITH YOU!” she yelled.

Okay, that was chaotic, but in the best way!

The whole dynamic between Tsubaki and Yuno is pure chaotic energy—just *chef’s kiss* drama.

Kōsaka really got caught in the crossfire, huh?

And the way Tsubaki and Yuno went from arguing to... almost flirting?

Truly the messiest, most entertaining dynamic.

Maybe someone should get them both a room before things get even more wild.

This is one of the many reasons why I love the Mirai Nikki fandom! 😂

Kosaka: Okay, we need to get the Hell outta here! Yuki: I wish we could, but Mr. Hiyama’s watching the door so hard. Akise: I think we’re going to need a distraction. Hinata: Huh... Hey, Tsubaki! Tsubaki: What’s the matter, Hinata? Hinata: Kosaka was just telling me how he wants to shove his face in your boobs! Tsubaki: Uh, what?! Kosaka: Wha- Hey! I didn’t say that! Hinata: Oh my god, Kosaka, don’t lie! Mao: Yeah, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Tsubaki: Even if my standards were lower, I wouldn’t let you. Plus, you’re just another insecure loser! Hinata: Yeah, keep it in your pants for once, Kosaka. Tsubaki: If I wasn’t so patient, I would hurt you so bad! Kosaka: Okay, okay! Please don’t! Hinata: But then he said that you were way cuter and less slutty than Yuno. Tsubaki: Oh, my, that’s actually really sweet! Thank you, Kosaka~ I’d still never date you in a million years. Hinata and Mao: Same. Yuno: Oh, so you think you can just talk shit about me? Tsubaki: Aha, don’t be jealous. Yuno: Bitch, I don’t get jealous of sluts! Hinata and Mao: Oohhhh! Tsubaki: Yes, Yuno, I’m not a slut, alright? I have a relationship with God and my followers! Yuno: Are those who you sold your ass to for a day out of your cage? Kosaka: Damn! Yuki: Not even a week? Tsubaki: Uh, I don’t even know what you’re talking about? Yuno: Face it, bitch! God is a pimp and religious fruitcakes like you are his army of hos! Akise: Alright, guys, let’s settle down and try to be respectful here! Yuno: Why don’t you fuck off and finish last, homo?! Hinata: You had it coming, Akise. Tsubaki: Oh, now you have a problem with Akise? Yuno: Sorry, I didn’t mean to insult your future followers~ Tsubaki: Do you actually want to fucking fight right now?! Yuno: Bitch, I brought a knife to school, don’t even try me! Tsubaki: Yeah, right, what are you going to do with that? Yuno: Stab you and watch the skeet pour out. Tsubaki: Not if I choke you first! Yuno: I’ll spit in your face! Tsubaki: I’ll spit in your mouth! Yuno: I’ll like it! Yuki: *gasps* Akise: What is happening...? Mao and Kosaka: Shhh! Tsubaki: Will you spit in mine back~? Yuno: I’ll bite your bottom lip and make you fucking bleed~ Tsubaki: Promise to kiss me after--No... NO! Help me, God! Help me! It’s not love it’s just lust, it’s not love it’s just lust! Hinata: What the Hell...? Takao: Okay, girls! Break it up! Kosaka: Oh, now you stop them. Takao: One phone call and I can send you both for a real therapy session. Hinata: Let’s go! *leaves* Kosaka, Mao, and Akise: Oh, right. *leaves*

Freesia — Firsts headcanons. Where/when/how was your first meeting, first date, first kiss, first time they said I love you.

The first time you and Kuroko Tetsuya met was on your very first day at a new school. The both of you joined Seirin and were at the same class. Even though you and Tetsuya were the classmates, you two haven't really talked to each other. But Tetsuya, oh, this boy, he slowly started developing feelings for you. You ask why. Because to him you were a sunshine. So cute and happy and adorable, your smile brightened his day. And looking at you from afar Tetsuya couldn't help but returned the smile. Ah, he was just so in love.

Not that Tetsuya planned to ask you out, he even didn't want to approach you first, because he was well aware that his feelings weren't mutual. This ethereal ray of shine will never fall in love with a shadow like him. You will never be his. Oh, how wrong he was. The two of you met each other very often, as if destiny brought you two together. And even though Tetsuya was known as a very emphatic and observant person, he didn't realize that you had a crush on him and did your best to meet him as often as it's possible. The team Seirin helped him to take courage and ask you out. And as a first date Tetsuya invited you to the cat cafe, knowing that you like animals. He could swear that it was be the happiest day in his life. Tetsuya spent the whole day adoring you. You, so cute, clumsy, adorable, and Tetsuya just kept falling harder and harder.

Your first kiss happened a few month later since the two of you started dating. You and Tetsuya hung out at your home. And then an embarrassing silence fell over the room. You noticed that your boyfriend had something in his mind but didn't dare to voice it. When you almost asked him about it, Tetsuya juts blurted out a little embarrassed. "May I... kiss you?" Having received your answer, Tetsuya leaned in slowly. His hand gently cupped your cheek. He tried to stay cool, but you noticed an adorable blush on his cheeks and at the tips of the ears. Then your lips touched in a kiss.

It was at Tetsuya's birthday party you and his friends organized. He was over the moon throughout the day celebrating and having fun with you all. As evening fell, the guests began to go their separate ways home. Tetsuya walked you home, holding your hands in his, crossing your fingers as you two talked about this day. Tetsuya suddenly stopped and you stopped with him. "Thank you very much for this day. I'm very happy", he said with a cute shy smile. "I love you".

Daffodil — Love triangle headcanons. The character who has a crush on you and how does your s/o react to their crush?

Takao Kazunari has a crush on you. A big and fat crush that almost impossible to ignore, but, of course, you don't know about his feelings for you. He fell in love with you because of your cute and cheerful personality. Smiley and happy, you always made his day better, even though the two of you don't see each other very often. Only during the friendly gatherings or when you come to Tetsuya's game. But that was enough time for Takao to fall in love with you. He is head over heels. Knowing that you and Kuroko are dating, Kazunari decided to hide his feelings. Spoiler: he absolutely did not succeed. Because he is very obvious about it. Even Midorima noticed!

Of course, Tetsuya knows about his feelings for you too. And he knows that you have no clue about it as well. Tetsuya isn't a jealous type, he is more protective type. Overprotective to be exact. He silently observes, making sure that Takao doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. And rest assured that if something happens, Tetsuya is more than ready to protect you and let Kazunari know that your heart is already taken.
