strike the match (let it all burn) omakes

Hi everyone! Since I have no idea what the issue with the text breaks are (they show up on my laptop) I’ve split the omakes from the main fic. If you continue to have issues, please let me know!

The main fic can be found here. I highly recommend reading that first.

Summary: Eijun, Furuya, Haruichi, and Raichi find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation. The omakes are the entirety of the main fic, but from the point of view of those stuck waiting outside. Part of my "we are the challengers (plus ultra!)" verse.

The omakes bounce between various POVs, but once someone’s POV has been done, they aren’t revisited (though, of course, they may appear in later scenes).

Quirk List: Kuramochi (cheetah camo), Ryou and Haruichi (rose), Miyuki (quirkless), Kataoka (doberman), Zono (oak tree), Toujou (rock), Chris (weakness reading), Eijun (lion and house cat), Furuya (bonfire), Asada (quirkless)

Word Count: 3267

Youichi was frantic. Everyone had been warming up for their practice game against Yakushi when Kanemaru ran out on the field screaming for Kataoka-kantoku. Next thing he knew, he, Miyuki, and Zono were being summoned to talk with the coaches.

Their news had sent his heart into overdrive. Sawamura - stupid, stupid Bakamura - had gotten himself into a hostage situation. Because of course he had. And his boyfriend's little brother had also gotten himself into that situation, because of course he had. And of course Furuya had been dragged into the mess as well. Because it was just Seido's luck to have two of their ace competitors and their second baseman in this mess right before the fall season started.

Now, he was stuck pacing around the dugout.

Youichi hissed and bared his teeth at nothing. Someone yelped, and he blinked to find Kanemaru right in front of him.

"Sorry…" he said slowly. "I didn't see you there."

The first year shook his head. "No, it- it's fine." He took a deep breath. "Are you ok, Kuramochi-senpai?" Youichi just looked at him, and Kanemaru nodded. "Have you considered doing something? I - talking to the police helped me calm down. It won't take your mind off of it, but…"

"Thank you, Kanemaru," Youichi said.

He turned on his heel and burst into a run - not his normal run, his cheetah-quirk powered run. He didn't use it often, since he'd been the target of a lot of discrimination as a kid for the camouflage that came with it. But for Sawamura and the Kominatos…

"Where are you, Ryou?" he panted.

Ryou's head was deep in his book, surrounded by his old teammates in the library. "A Study Group for Failing Baseball Idiots", Takako had called it when she emailed all of them. They had been at it for hours and were ready for a break, so when they all heard yelling from outside, they were quick to join their classmates in crowding the windows.

Thankfully, Ryou didn't even have to say anything. Being part of a stampeding team of baseball players meant that most people were quick to get out of their way. Those who didn't found themselves on the ends of his glare and moving anyway. Once at the windows, Tanba was kind enough to shuffle to the side and make room for him.

Opening the window flooded the library with even more noise. Looking over the edge, Ryou stared and, ever so carefully, didn't let his jaw drop.

There were police cars crowding the front entrance. None of them had their lights and sirens going, but their sheer number spoke to the emergency. So did the ambulance crouched among them.

The police themselves rushed all over the place. More than one was making a phone call, while others gathered gear. Anyone running did so between their cars and - Ryou's heart dropped. The direction of the baseball fields.

The library doors behind them crashed open, and everyone spun to face them. Ryou couldn't see him over everyone else, but he'd know Youichi's voice calling out his name anywhere.

Kazuya looked up from his brooding to find Kuramochi and the elder Kominato leading the rest of the third years in a charge straight towards Kataoka-kantoku and the police captain. Yelping, he leapt from the dugout to cut them off.

"Woah, woah!" he said, hands held up in the universal 'stop before you run me over' gesture. "Don't you think interrupting them will have the exact opposite effect than what you want?"

"Move, Miyuki," Kuramochi growled. "What would you know?"

Kazuya frowned and hoped his hurt didn't show.

"You realise I have two pitchers in there, right? And three of them are members of my team. Mine. Tetsu-san, you know what that means, right?"

The previous captain considered him seriously - though, honestly, Tetsu did most things seriously, it was just the kind of person he was - and nodded.

"As captain, your teammates are like your children."

Kazuya choked. Ok, that was too serious.

"No, that's not right…" Tetsu frowned. "It's like… as captain, you have a responsibility to your teammates. Part of that includes keeping them safe, even when off the field."

That was more like it.

"Besides," Kazuya pointed out. "When Kataoka-kantoku, Takashima-sensei, Todoroki-san, and Oota-san yell loud enough, you can tell what's happening even from over here."

Tesshin had had it up to his pointy Doberman ears with the police captain.

"What part," he growled, barely resisting baring his teeth, "of 'I am prepared to do anything to rescue those boys' do you not understand?"

The captain flicked his lion ears and raised his eyebrows.

"What part," he began pointedly, "of 'I can't let civilians onto an active hostage scene' do you not understand?"

Tesshin desperately wanted a brick wall to bash his head against. The two of them had been going back and forth like this ever since the police first arrived about six minutes before. All the coaches had already gotten their emotional reactions out through shouting; all that was left was terse logic.

"Those hostages are our children." Tesshin gestured at Todoroki. "In his case, his only son, and in Seido's case we are their guardians. You can't honestly expect us to just sit back and wait?"

The captain sighed and rubbed a hand over his nose. "Look, I'll make you a deal, ok? It's my one and only offer." Tesshin nodded. "I will allow one of you to go, under police escort, and try to talk to the kids. You will not do more than that. You will not attempt a one man rescue or participate in any actions we may undertake. Are we in agreement?"

Beside Tesshin, Oota heaved a relieved sigh. Tesshin thought it might be the first time the man had breathed since Kanemaru burst onto the field.

On Tesshin's other side, Rei nodded with a stony expression. Beside her, Todoroki looked close to bursting into another round of tears, but had enough composure left to gesture Tesshin forward.

"Go get our boys," he hiccuped.

Tetsu sat as calmly in the dugout as he possibly could, watching his old teammates pace.

He had actually been afraid Kuramochi would wear a hole in the floor, but thankfully Ryou had been able to pull him on to a bench and keep him there.

The others had no one to do so, and as a result, the feared hole might happen because of a group effort. Chris, Jun, Tanba, Kawakami, Kanemaru, and Zono - the latter three, along with Toujou, having already been in the dugout when they arrived - were certainly working hard at making the hole happen.

Even Masuko, sitting quietly in a corner as he tried to lower everyone's emotions with his quirk, didn't have much of an effect. The emotions, he had taken the time to explain, were too strong.

"What do you think is happening in there?" Miyuki asked.

Tetsu turned to look at the new captain, seated on the bench beside him. He didn't have to say anything. Miyuki gave him a side eyed look, then continued.

"They let Kataoka-kantoku in, and we've seen a ton of police officers enter and exit, but we haven't actually gotten any news. Just confirmation from the headcount that there's four players in there."

By this point, Miyuki had actually brought the pacers to a halt. He held their complete attention.

"What are you getting at, Miyuki?" Zono growled.

The catcher met his vice captain's eyes evenly. Tetsu was actually a little impressed he was able to; with all the stress, Zono had lost some of his fall leaves early.

"I mean we don't even know if they're alright. For all we know, they could be dead or -"

Ryou opened his mouth to spit, Tetsu was sure, a cutting response to that bit of catcher insight.

He didn't get the chance.

A gunshot and a yowl, one after the other, split the air, cutting and ugly and freezing everyone in their place better than even Miyuki's words did.

When he could move again, Shinji looked towards Kuramochi. He already knew, in the back of his mind, what that noise was. It had come from the direction of the bathroom, after all. But on some level…

On some level, he needed Kuramochi to tell him no. No, Sawamura's yowl of pain was not so loud that it reached them easily all the way over here. No, that was not even in pain. It was a call and nothing more. No, the pitcher Shinji had come to respect and, dare he say, call a friend, had not made a sound that wrenched his heart.

Shinji looked to Kuramochi and felt his heart completely stop instead. He knew he would get none of that.

Kominato had an arm wrapped around his boyfriend's waist. His fingers dug, white-knuckled, into jersey fabric as he held them both back.

The face of Kuramochi himself was turned away from Shinji, towards the bathroom, but his posture said it all. His tail had tucked itself as far in between his legs as it possibly could, and his ears lay flat against his head. The green fur across the back of his neck, usually invisible under his hair, had puffed out enough that there was no ignoring it or the truth it held.

Shinji's legs buckled. He sat on the bench, buried his head in his hands, and tried to ignore the world around him.

Hideaki sat between Shinji and the rest of the team, a rock hardened barrier.

At the moment he felt more like wood.

There had always been something for Hideaki to do, some solution to his problems. Sometimes it took so long it seemed impossible, like with becoming a pitcher again, but the solution was always there.

Now, though… for the first time in his life, he could do absolutely nothing. Everyone who needed to know had been told. He was looking at all of them, and had been for awhile. The police had let Kataoka-kantoku back, but he knew without asking that no students would be allowed. There was nothing to do but wait. Nothing he could do for his friends trapped within the bathroom, but out here...

Hideaki closed his eyes, breathed in deep, and straightened his back.

Shinji made a noise of wonder, and all around them their teammates exclaimed excitedly. Hopefully.

Hideaki opened his eyes to find Endeavor and a team of sidekicks walking inside the building. Police escorted them while leaning in close to, he assumed, brief them on the situation.

He let his shoulders relax ever so slightly. Reaching out, Hideaki pulled Shinji into his side for a one-armed hug.

Sometimes wood is thousands of years old and turns to stone, impossibly strong, to stand forever.

Chris and his old teammates waited impatiently, but it still took twenty, thirty minutes after Endeavor arrived before Kataoka-kantoku finally exited with Furuya in tow. The poor pitcher was half-dead on his feet. He looked up at them through lidded eyes, keeping up with their coach only thanks to an arm around his shoulders and a stubborn will.

Kataoka-kantoku handed him over to them with orders for half of them to get him into a bed. The other half were to come with him and get meals for the others.

They split up without a thought. Those most eager for news left with Furuya, while others who could get by with just the coach's reassurances for the time being headed for the dining hall.

Chris's choice was less pleasant. He headed in Furuya's direction, only for the coach to stop him with a quiet hand up.

"Your father has been calling Takashima, Oota, and I almost nonstop. Please call him back and reassure him that both you and your 'crazy boy' are perfectly fine."

Chris looked back at his coach. He knew his normal resting poker face had twisted into something strange - something that asked if the request was serious, my kouhais need me and you ask this of me?

Kataoka-kantoku just stared back evenly. He knew exactly what he was asking, but he did it anyway. That was the kind of man he was and why Chris had chosen Seido in the first place.

At least he'd confirmed that Sawamura was fine. Chris's heart had been in his throat since hearing the yowl, but now at least it retreated enough that he could clear his throat and speak.

"Yes, sir," he said. He bowed his head, murmured, "excuse me," and walked away.

In all of the chaos and panic, he had forgotten his phone and bag in the library and hadn't had the heart to go back and get them. He was paying for it now.

When he reached the library, it was to find a pile of book bags and baseball duffels behind the main desk, under the safeguard of the librarian. She smiled sympathetically at him and handed him his bag, but thankfully didn't do more than that. He didn't think he could stomach pleasantries right now.

Chris exited the the library and walked in the direction of the baseball dorms, phone ringing and pressed to his ear. It only rang twice before it was answered.

"Yuu!" his dad exclaimed. "How are -"

"I'm fine, Dad," Chris interrupted. "And so is Sawamura. I'm on my way to see him now, actually."

There was quiet for a few seconds, which really said more about his father's feelings than anything he could have said.

"I'm glad. He - I know you care about him. He brought out a side of you I hadn't seen in awhile, and I hadn't even realized I missed."

"Mm," Chris nodded. "Listen, dad - I can see the dorm from here. I'm going to hang up now."

"Take care, Yuu," his father said. "Give that crazy boy a hug from me."

"I love you," Chris replied, and closing his phone, sprinted to the dorms.

He opened the door to a feast. Beds had been claimed and the floor covered in baseball members.

"Chris-senpai!" Sawamura wailed. The lion cub launched himself from Kuramochi's side and burrowed into Chris's. He had to have been a koala in a previous life, Chris thought, to be this clingy. Still, he wasn't about to complain.

"Chris!" Jun hollered, waving from the top bunk next to Tetsu. "We saved you a spot on the bed!"

He waved in acknowledgment, but ignored his friends for now. He took in Furuya and the younger Kominato, both already asleep and safely bundled up. He noted the new groove in Sawamura's tail and, tightening his arms, maneuvered them onto the bed beside Kuramochi.

Now the pitcher was practically in his lap, head resting against his chest, and Sawamura purred in response. The sound was a rusty thing - probably because of the pained yowl. The thought made his shoulder ache in sympathy even as he watched Kuramochi's tail twine up and around the cub's wrist. Chris said nothing as it settled against Sawamura's pulse; he just tightened his own hold ever so slightly and listened to the murmur of their teammates around them.

He didn't let go until he felt the cub relaxing into sleep. Only then did he share a glance with Kuramochi and fully transfer Sawamura to the bed beside his roommate.

Standing up, Chris linked his hands over his head and stretched, cracking his back with a moan. The day had definitely been one of the longest he'd ever had. And after everything with his shoulder, he didn't say that easily. What made it even more remarkable was that it was barely even three o'clock in the afternoon. And yet, looking around him, all he could see were baseball members bedding down. After all the excitement and fear of the day, he wouldn't be surprised if they all slept through to the next day.

Turning, Chris began climbing the ladder to the top bunk. If all he could do for Sawamura and everyone else was be there, then he would be ready to do that to the best of his ability.

Hirofumi jolted awake and, rolling over, slammed his hand on his alarm's 'sleep' button. A noise suddenly went quiet, but it left a kind of… tense, agitated silence in its wake. The shock of it made him lie still, gazing blearily at the bedroom floor. For some reason he couldn't make out as much as he usually could without his glasses. He blinked furiously, still gazing down. The action accomplished nothing.

That's when it dawned on him. There was no light, unless you counted the moon shining through the blinds. Which meant it couldn't have been his alarm he accidentally silenced. Which meant -

Hirofumi nearly stopped breathing.

In the absence of his rough, still sleep heavy breathing, he could just make out the sound of even rougher breathing above him, accompanied by the murmur of someone's voice.

Hirofumi had only been in Seido's dorms for four weeks, but he already knew what woke him. The first night it had happened sent him scrambling, thinking someone was in their room who wasn't supposed to be. Memories of Kuramochi-senpai's head during the prank had flashed through his mind, only that time the hatchet was real. Hirofumi had screamed. Sawamura-senpai hadn't calmed down for another thirty minutes, and Kuramochi-senpai hadn't forgiven Hirofumi for another two days. It had taken caving to a night of catch and an early morning run for that to happen.

Now, though… now Hirofumi lay still for a moment before he rolled over and, rustling loudly, gathered his sheets to his chest. He dropped his mouth open and started breathing exercises.

This was only the second time it had happened, but Hirofumi already knew what it was. He had had nightmares himself as a kid, of his own quirklessness killing him someday. And… and everyone knew what happened to Seido and Yakushi that one fall practice. It was hard not to, when Endeavor himself had stormed in. The names of those involved hadn't been released. But that didn't matter when your roommate had a scar from a bullet wound on his tail.

Hirofumi counted ten sheep before the noises above him started again. He couldn't make out the words, but after a month of living together he easily recognised Kuramochi-senpai's voice. It was soft and soothing, intermixed with the occasional cheetah churr. Sawamura-senpai was crying, but Hirofumi didn't worry. It was better than the utter silence from the first time.

Gradually, the sounds above him started changing. Hiccups interrupted the crying, as did the occasional snort. The churrs became longer and longer. There was the thump of a pillow being fluffed, and then a half-laugh. An affronted grumble and more fluffing. The air conditioning beeped, whirred, and released cooler air. Their entire bed shook as someone flopped over, and then again with a second flop.

Sawamura-senpai's voice rose as he screeched, "Blanket hog!"

Kuramochi-senpai hissed and the bed shook again. Both of them quieted. Eventually, the lion's distinct snorting snore resounded throughout the room, and it didn't take long for the cheetah's lower, but just as bothersome snore to join it.

Hirofumi rolled back over to stare at the door. The entire situation, from when he woke up to when they fell asleep, had lasted about ten minutes. It took him maybe another five to join them, his own soft, breathy snores merging with theirs.

I swear I wasn’t gonna have ships in this verse, and then Kuramochi said “boyfriend” and I couldn’t bring myself to take it out.

As always, please let me know what you think! If you have any ideas for future additions, I’m open to hearing them!

You made a post of Miyuki dating coach Kataoka’s daughter and can you make some hc’s of everyone’s reaction to them dating

Oooo ok I'm gonna try my best to include everyone...forgive me if I don't. Also, I wrote for some of the new first years but their's is more of how they would act around Kataoka's daughter

OG post is here incase anyone missed it KDAU Navi

Third years

Ok so

It's already been established in the OG post that the third years love Kataoka's daughter and are very protective of her

So a select few are like >:( "if you even make her sneeze weird I'll rip you to pieces"

Cough Jun and Ryo cough

I feel like all of them would warn Miyuki to be carful with her

Some are just more audible about it

I feel like they would find out during practice? Like Miyuki kisses her cheek after she helps him with his catchers gear

They all kinda just look at them and go silent

Like it takes a few moments for them to process what just happened

Then Jun starts yelling and freaking out

I feel like out of everyone Chris and Tetsu are the ones most likely to congratulate the two maybe Masuko as well (but Tetsuya would definitely nod along to Jun's rant about how he's gonna kick Miyuki's ass)

Second years

Ok so!!

Kuramochi

The relationship is old news for him 🙄 he figured the two of them out a few weeks into their whole secret relationship thing

He just literally never told anyone

Zono's brain is absolutely boggled by the news

Mans is just so confused and doesn't know what's going on

Nori and Shirasu probably wouldn't react much to it

Their under the impression that what Miyuki does isn't their business so they kinda stay out of the whole thing

BUT!

I lOve when Nori is sassy and I can see him teasing Miyooks on the rare occasion

Like say Miyuki arrives to practice a bit late Nori would look him dead in the eyes and just

"you know arriving to practice late with your girlfriend can give people the wrong idea"

First years

GOD I LOVE FURUYA

He's so awkward 😭

Following what I said in the original post he finds them making out in the bullpen

I kinda envisioned him walking in and just 🧍🏻‍♂️

He's blushing and and says "sorry I interrupted......I won't tell anyone"

THEN JUST LEAVES!! AND DOESN'T MENTION THE ENCOUNTER EVER AGAIN

Sawamura is probably screaming about it

Like baby is in complete disbelief that Miyuki Kazuya could get someone to like him romantically

He deadass would ask Kataoka's daughter if Miyuki was manipulating or blackmailing her 😭

Haruichi would just pull Eijun away and mutter a quiet ignore him/congrats

New first years

I honestly think the first years would find Miyuki a bit intimidating

Like he's the Captain, Catcher, Clean up, AND dating the coaches daughter?!

If that's not a power move 😶

Sweet angel Yui would be very respectful 🥰 bc not only is she his senpai, she's directly tied to his captain and the coach

Yui would be the person who always offers to help her clean up or carry heavy things

Okumura is kinda like Eijun where he's like how tf did Miyuki manage to convince the coaches daughter to like him??

Ok Asada is terrified to talk to the coaches daughter bc he doesn't wanna accidentally say something that could upset her bc he thinks Miyuki would hate him and Kataoka would kick him off the team 😭

Macchi’s Back is Beautiful! - Prince Ice World’s Photography Diary

(Courtesy of スポニチ)

Photographer Yutaka Nagakubo from Sponichi talks (rather poetically) about Machida’s Don Quixote performance, his beautiful back, and the greatness of his artistry in general in this article shared by @iguana012​. 

Yutaka Nagakubo's "Is it alright if I take a photo?" Stories

The standing ovation wouldn't end. The crowd was shouting "Bravo!" "Macchi's the best!". Most likely even after leaving the venue they would not be able to suppress the excitement and the memories that lingered, and would want to catch hold of someone to tell them about the beauty, the magnificence and the impact of what they saw today.

Machida Tatsuki makes people talk, he's that kind of a skater.

Full translation continued under the cut.

Prince Ice World 2017~Tokyo has 40 years of history to be proud of. Here, Machida Tatsuki's Don Quixote fascinated everyone. It was an ambitious program comprising of three acts. In the first, he displayed his skills (t/n: usually referring to jumps) and in the second, the sharpness of his edge work. In the third act, (he as the) main character became one with the crowd and they shared in their delight. Figure skating is a unique sport in that it is viewed from every angle (t/n: literally from 360 degrees) and with this in mind, (Machida) created a program which would make the viewers think, regardless of whether they were seated on the top or ground floor of the north, south, east or west wing , that "this is the seat to be in", and would make them yearn for the chance to "see it from the other side next time".

Since his competitive days he has been a sinful person. He would make the cameramen think highly of themselves. Especially during exhibitions, where he was bathed in the spotlight, this tendency became particularly noticeable - the way he embraced the light with such skill and the way his edges shaved the ice such that even the ice spray appeared to dance as it fell, as if he had directed it to do so. Machida’s dynamic force against a black backdrop; the sparkling ice flakes that spun around and clung to him; the intense gaze of his ending pose. Without noticing, the cameramen would photograph his elaborately created compositions, and mistakenly think that they had gotten better in their work. (Those whose hearts skipped a beat, you’re out there aren’t you?).

Actually, 2 hours before the performance began, I happened to pass by him in front of Higashifushimi station. It may have been just after his rehearsal finished, for he was wearing a T-shirt and track pants, but despite this he did not walk in a rough manner. Just like the way Baryshinikov and Kumokawa Tetsuya (t/n: both famous ballet dancers, see links) walked as they stood on stage, Machida was balletic (in the way he moved). And when I turned my head around to look, I saw that his back was beautifully perfect. This is the personal opinion of a cameraman but, the difference between those actively skating and those who are not lies in their back. To be able to display the limbs beautifully, you must first start from the back. If this can’t be done then it seeps into and shows in the skills (of the skaters) as well. 3 years from his shocking announcement of retirement, the motivation to maintain the beauty of his back in that same state must come from the desire – one that is almost akin to hunger – which he has for his creative activities.

In the midst of that never-ending standing ovation, for a moment I wished for his “return to competitive skating, as part of research”* I wonder how the judges would grade him; is it possible to quantify emotion? Well, for the judges’ sake, I’ll stop (that line of thought), it’s insensitive.

Machida Tatsuki’s “Don Quixote Gala 2017: Basil’s Glory” will be performing from the 5th and 6th of August at Prince Ice World, Nikko till the 7th of October at the Japan Open. I will be busy with the start of Asada Mao’s The Ice in Osaka from the 29th (of July) onward, but I’m still going to go to Nikko. Maybe I’ll take photos of him, with everything that I have.

- Chief Photographer

＊Yutaka Nagakubo, born 1962. He is the head of department who curses and is afraid of holding on to the voice recorders belonging to his department members. Recently, he’s been really into leaving messages like “I’ve gone to the skating rink. Please don’t look for me.”

*Bit of a longish t/n: 2 things.  1 - When Macchi retired, he said that he would still participate in shows etc but only as part of his research and only the minimum amount required for him to gain the information he needed. The phrase he used was  「研究活動の一環として、アイスショー等で...」(as part of research, to participate in ice shows...). Here the author uses the same phrasing「研究の一貫としての現役復帰 」(as part of research, to return to competitive skating) to express his wish for Macchi’s return rather than just his participation. I just swapped it around so it fit better in the sentence. 2 - The kanji used here by the author is 「一貫 」(ikkan - consistency) which I believe to be a typo as it makes no sense and Macchi uses 「一環」 (ikkan - a part of) in his original phrase instead anyway. Unless this is a pun that I’m missing - in which case please let me know.

Also, if the author sounds a bit creepy when going on about Macchi's back....it doesn't sound that way in Japanese hahaha For some reason, the back is quite often referenced in various phrases and analogies. Common examples that pop up in figure skating would be “to push one’s back” meaning “to encourage”, as in “the cheers of the fans pushed me forward”, and “to chase after another’s back” meaning “to be trying to catch up with someone.” Also, there is alot of imagery ascribed to a person’s back - someone with “a lonely back” 「背中が寂しい」 for example, refers to One who appears isolated and evokes a sense of sadness in the observer. The phrase 「男は背中で語る」translates literally to “Men speak with their backs”, meaning that men speak more through their actions than their words (it’s a manly thing, so manly they made a commercial selling coffee where they literally talk about the barista’s back)  #morethanyoueverwantedtoknow
