Tumblr media
The locker room was thick with tension, the air heavy with the aftermath of another brutal defeat. Bastard München had just lost to Manshine City — the team considered the weakest in the league this season. It was their third consecutive loss and their unexpected poor performance has become the shock story of the season kickoff. They’d barely left the field but everyone can already hear the criticism in their heads, each biting comment more brutal than the last. 
Isagi Yoichi, usually one of the level-headed players during these times of turmoil, lets out a frustrated groan as he tosses his sweat-soaked jersey into his locker.
“Can’t believe we lost again to Reo and Nagi, of all people.” he muttered, his voice laced with irritation. 
“God, I wanna wipe that smug look on Chigiri’s pretty face. So annoying.” Even Kunigami himself can’t contain the disappointment he was feeling. 
Murmurs of frustration filled the locker room, with each player coming to terms with the loss in their own way. Some stared blankly at the floor, others punched the lockers. But Hiori Yo, the team’s offensive midfielder, sat apart from them quietly in a corner. 
His sunken eyes are glued to his tablet, focused on the screen before him. He’s replaying some of the match’s most critical moments, engrossed with dissecting their performance. The heavy feeling of frustration that sat at the bottom of his stomach only made him more fixated in figuring out what they’re doing wrong.
They didn’t play badly per se; they were just simply scattered, struggling to navigate the field without a commanding anchor like Michael Kaiser.
And it’s not like Manshine City outplayed them. They were only able to exploit those gaps between the seams in both Bastard Munchen’s offense and defense, allowing them to snatch their first victory of the season.
He sighs as he watches Nagi Seishirou effortlessly slip past them and score Manshine City’s winning goal just before the buzzer goes off.
The post-match debrief followed quickly. Coach Noel Noa entered the room, trailed closely by the team’s manager. The debrief was short and direct. Nothing that the players don’t know about. At this point, all they can do is let this pass and allow this frustration fuel them to do better and win the next match.
“This loss will sting. And the critics will only make it worse. They’ll amplify everything that went wrong.” Coach Noa’s voice was firm but calm as he warned. 
“I’m not going to sugarcoat, it will be brutal. But remember, it’s a long season. Don’t let the noise get to you.”
Later that evening, Hiori returned to his apartment. Instead of diving right into the new Souls game he bought, he threw his duffel bag on his bed before sinking onto his couch. He pulled out his phone, deciding to “ego-surf” a bit.
Usually, he won’t scroll through the comments after a loss, knowing how unforgiving fans can be. And him being one of the more reserved players made him an easy target, with critics often pointing out the lack of “fire” in him compared to his fellow Blue Lock graduates.
But curiosity got the best of him tonight. He scrolled through the headlines, wincing at the relentless criticism pouring in. 
“Is Bastard München all bark and no bite without superstar Michael Kaiser?”
“Noel Noa: Greatest striker of all time, wasted on Bastard München’s bench.”
“Blue Lock graduates fail to hold down the fort, leaving Bastard München struggling to fill Kaiser’s shoes.”
Some articles accused the team of riding on Kaiser’s coattails, while others declared that Bastard München had drawn the short stick from the Blue Lock project, forced to settle for “nobodies.”
Before he can continue, his phone vibrates to life with a message notification from his mom. And like clockwork, another message comes in from his dad. Despite being divorced, they’re still scarily in sync. For all the wrong reasons. 
Bracing himself for yet another round of thinly-veiled criticism, Hiori opens his father’s message:
“Yo-kun, I saw your game. Hopefully your team can bounce back. You know, if you’d just put in the extra effort and stay focused, you could be the person Bastard München needs. I know you have it in you—just need to take it seriously.”
The words are meant to sound encouraging, but the expectation and judgment beneath them is all too familiar. 
Then, another message pings from his mom. This time, there’s no critique or pressure. Instead, she’s sent a link to an article titled “Don’t Count Out Bastard München Yet—The Brains Behind Their Strategy Are Just Coming Into Focus,” along with a simple note:
“Hi Yo-kun, I hope you’ve had dinner. Thought this might make you feel a bit better.”
At least one of them is trying, despite their strained family dynamic.
He re-reads the article title. 
"'Brains'? Whaddya mean by that?", he mutters to himself.
Even if Bastard München is known for its calculated approach, there wasn’t much strategy happening on the field lately—or at least not for most players. Curious, Hiori clicks the link and begins to read.
Don’t Count Out Bastard München Yet—The Brains Behind Their Strategy Are Just Coming Into Focus by Y/N L/N With the recent departure of Michael Kaiser, Bastard München’s superstar and core playmaker, the team faces an uphill battle. Kaiser's absence has left a gaping hole in their strategy and a noticeable lack of offensive cohesion. After three consecutive losses, including a shocking defeat against Manshine City—the lowest-ranked team last season—it's evident how much the Bastards are struggling to recalibrate. But while the setbacks are significant, it may be too soon to write off Bastard München entirely. Their performance against Manshine City, despite the loss, showed promise. The team is experimenting with new plays that fit their overall style and individual strengths. To long-time fans, these changes might seem futile, but there’s a method to the madness. For instance, the decision to use Kunigami Rensuke and Yukimiya Kenyu as the main strikers might seem unusual at first. In hindsight, it allows Alexis Ness and Isagi Yoichi to create more scoring options while still playing to each player's strengths. This strategy leverages Isagi and Ness’ unpredictability, while maximizing the straightforward power of Kunigami and Yukimiya.  Additionally, their midfield defense and offense remain strong, with Benedict Grim and Hiori Yo commanding the center. They provide support and drive plays, utilizing players like Kiyora Jin, and Raichi Jingo to full effect. This demonstrates the potential of the new Bastard München. Even without Kaiser, the team has the makings of a powerhouse. And this isn’t the first time the team has faced adversity, nor will it be the last. Last season, despite a critical injury to the Magician, Alexis Ness, they fought their way to the semifinals, proving that resilience is embedded in the team’s DNA. Coach Noel Noa, a world-class striker turned coach, has also acknowledged the challenges ahead. His expertise remains a pillar for the team, alongside long standing veterans like Mensah and Erik Geisner, who provide stability. However, the real responsibility for filling the void left by Kaiser’s raw power and impact now falls on the team’s ‘brains’—Coach Noa, Ness, and perhaps most intriguingly, midfielder Hiori Yo. Hiori Yo may not be the most flashy player on the roster, but his subtle playmaking has become an essential part of Bastard München's strategy. Both Kaiser and Noa have recognized Hiori’s value, crediting him numerous times during key victories. “His role as midfielder may not grab headlines, but his precision, strategic thinking and game sense provide the grounding force the team needs” Coach Noel Noa mentions before during an interview mid season last year, after winning a do-or die match against Ubers. Thus, this could be a transformative season for Bastard München.  For those quick to count them out, this season might just reveal a new side of Bastard München. The team’s resilience, adaptability, and strategic evolution could turn the tide, especially with emerging playmakers laying a strong foundation. As they face the challenges ahead, fans may witness a more mature, tactically sophisticated version of the Bastards that proves they’re far from finished.
The journalist (Y/N) didn’t hold back, addressing Bastard München’s weaknesses head-on. Furthermore, you highlighted how the team could lean into a more dynamic strategy, blending the flashy, ego-driven style that fans loved with a more calculated approach—a style that Hiori himself had been quietly cultivating. 
For the first time, it felt like someone truly saw his potential, his value beyond just raw skill or charisma. You acknowledged him as a player who might not command the spotlight but who laid the groundwork, providing the strategic foundation the team needed.
As he reached the article’s end, Hiori felt a strange warmth settle over him. It wasn’t praise, exactly, but it was understanding or validation, something he rarely received. On a whim, he looks you up on Winstagram, curious about the person behind the words.
Your profile was as intriguing as your article. Your feed was a hodgepodge of your life. There are photos from tournaments, interviews with other athletes, and even a few posts about your favorite manga series. You're all over the place and rough around the edges but seemed very passionate by the way you wrote about the things in your life.
A photo of you with a 2B cosplayer catches his eye. You're shyly forming a heart with the cosplayer’s hand, your face flushed as you tries to smile.
“Huh, well aint’cha cute.” he says out loud, before bookmarking your profile. For the first time in weeks, Hiori found himself smiling, feeling an unexpected spark of optimism.
He shares your article to the Bastard München group chat with a simple comment: “At least one person ain't giving up on us.” As the chat notifications pinged with his teammates’ responses, Hiori leaned back, allowing himself to savor this small moment of encouragement.
 For now, it was enough.

author's notes: phew! so how was it? i know it's bit long but i want to bring out hiori's charm, focusing on his character and growth, while showing the effect of reader journalist's role in his life, both as professionals and as love interests. it's a bit on the serious side of things (with tooth rotting romance still), it might not be everyone's cup of tea but hopefully this grows onto you. if you have any questions or requests, feel free to send me an ask! i'm planning on writing drabbles and light hearted fics for other bllk characters including hiori ofc some time this month!

→ PROLOGUE?! : A FINE LINE...
Tumblr media
Mornings were always a blur for Y/N, her alarm blared through the quiet dorm room. Rubbing her eyes, she glanced at the time—7:45 a.m.
“Crap. I’m late again.”
She stumbled out of bed, hair a mess and eyes half-open as she scrambled to get dressed. A yawn escaped her as she reached for her glasses, but she paused, stared at them for a second, and tossed them back onto her nightstand. She could manage without them. Maybe.
“Y/N, if you miss homeroom one more time, the teacher’s definitely going to notice,” Izumi called out, her voice muffled from behind a book.
“Not like she can really punish her,” Haruka chimed in, sitting cross-legged on her bed. “She’s practically untouchable with her grades. They need her to make the school look good"
"Yeah, well, straight A’s won’t stop me from getting detention if I miss homeroom again.” Y/n scrambled across the room as she fixed her hair and shoved toast into her mouth.
"Still refusing to wear those?” Izumi asked from the other side of the room, raising an eyebrow.
“They make me look like a damn nerd,” Y/N muttered after finishing the toast in her mouth.
Haruka rolled her eyes. “You’re already a nerd, glasses or not. What’s the point?”
“I’m an eccentric nerd,” Y/N corrected with a grin, grabbing her school bag. “There’s a difference.”
Izumi shook her head, a smirk tugging at her lips. “Eccentric? Sure. Let’s just hope your eccentricity can get you through the day without any more debates.”
“No promises,” Y/N laughed. “You know Y/n you're really burning the candle at both ends,” Izumi said, peeking over her book. “You’ve got way too much on your plate.”
“I know, I know. I’m just trying to survive the daily chaos.” Y/N pulled on her blazer and threw her bag over her shoulder. “It’s another day of random debates with Reo and listening to Nagi half-asleep in class.”
“You’re going to wear yourself out even more,” Haruka warned, “and we all know what happens when you get burnt out.”
Y/N flashed a tired smile. “Already been there.” With that, she rushed out of the room, sprinting through the hallways of the school. The familiar buzz of students surrounded her, and she ducked and weaved through the crowd, avoiding collisions.
The school halls were alive with the usual morning chaos. Y/N weaved through the crowd, narrowly avoiding a collision with some first-year students. She managed to spot Nanase and Hiori ahead, both looking unusually calm amid the bustle.
“You’re cutting it close again,” Nanase said, a teasing glint in his eye.
Y/N shot him a wink. “What can I say? I like to live dangerously.”
Hiori adjusted his backpack and gave her a look. “Debating with Reo again today?”
“Obviously,” Y/N replied. “I’m this close to convincing him that cereal is definitely not a soup and that pineapple should not be on pizzas.”
Nanase burst into laughter. “You’re relentless.”
“Someone has to keep him humble,” Y/N joked as they made their way into the classroom. “You know Reo won’t stop until everyone agrees with him.” Hiori chimes in.
“And that’ll never happen as long as I’m around.” Y/N’s eyes sparkled with playful defiance. “I’m the voice of reason in this madhouse.”
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ
It was currently lunch, she was with her group of friends at the moment. “Debating pizza toppings again, Reo? You must be running out of things to defend,” Y/N teased, crossing her arms as she leaned against the wall of the crowded cafeteria. The group around her was buzzing, the usual lunchtime banter in full swing.
Reo Mikage raised an eyebrow, pointing his fork dramatically at her. “Pineapple belongs on pizza. End of story.”
“That’s where you’re wrong,” Y/N shot back. “It’s a culinary crime. Sweet doesn’t belong with savory, and I’ll die on that hill.”
Isagi Yoichi, her childhood friend, smirked from across the table. “You’re always so opinionated about the weirdest things. Didn’t you argue yesterday that cereal isn’t soup because it’s served cold?”
Y/N gasped playfully. “Because it isn’t, Yoichi! You can’t just throw anything into a bowl and call it soup!”
Nagi, half-asleep beside Reo, lazily pushed his food around his plate. “You guys argue too much. It’s exhausting.”
“It’s not arguing,” Y/N corrected, her tone light and teasing. “It’s debating. There’s an art to it.”
Bachira leaned forward, eyes glinting mischievously. “OOH I KNOW I KNOW ! Let’s settle this with a penalty shootout. Winner gets to decide the ultimate fate of pizza toppings!”
Chigiri, calmly tying back his hair, shook his head. “Please don’t drag me into this nonsense. Pizza’s best with minimal toppings, and that’s the truth.”
Y/N grinned, but behind the smile, the usual exhaustion was creeping in. Everyone knew her as the lively one—the girl who had an opinion on everything, who excelled without even trying. But nobody saw the weight of it all, the burnout lurking just beneath the surface.
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
After a whirlwind day of classes and endless discussions with her friends, Y/N was finally able to retreat to her dorm room. The burnout was catching up with her again—something that had been happening more and more frequently. Everyone expected her to be brilliant, to keep acing her exams, to be the person with all the answers. But no one really saw how exhausting it all was. Haruka, one of her roommates, glanced up from her bed where she was scrolling through her phone, and Izumi, the other roommate, sat at her desk typing away. She dropped her bag on the floor and collapsed onto her bed, staring at the ceiling.
“Long day?” Haruka asked, not looking up from her sketch.
“Like you wouldn’t believe,” Y/N muttered.
“Its the same old, same old," Y/N sighed, flopping onto her bed. “Reo’s still on about pineapple pizza, Nagi’s asleep half the time, and Isagi’s convinced cereal is soup. It’s like I live in a madhouse.” *she groans, bringing the pillow to her face. "And I swear, if one more person asks me for help with their homework, I’m going to scream.”
“Maybe you should start saying no,” Haruka suggested.
“I don’t know how to do that,” Y/N admitted, sighing deeply.
“You don’t have to be perfect all the time, you know. It’s okay to take a break.” Haruka asks.
Y/N smiled faintly, appreciating the concern, but deep down, she knew taking a break wasn’t so simple. “Yeah, I know. It’s just hard when people look at you like you’re supposed to pull off miracles every day.”
Izumi sighed, setting her laptop aside. “Well, if anyone can do it, it’s you. But maybe next time, instead of arguing about pizza, take a nap. It might be more productive.”
Y/N chuckled softly, a bit of the pressure easing off her shoulders. “You might be right. I'll take you up on that”
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂☆
Later that night, Most of her roomates were out at the moment. Y/N sat at her desk in the dorm, staring at her laptop deeply. The national pen pal project had kicked off weeks ago, and she still hadn’t sent her first message. It was supposed to help students improve their creative writing, but for her, it felt like an extra task on an already heavy load.
Still, the thought of communicating with someone anonymous was intriguing. It could be a way to finally say things she couldn’t tell anyone else, a way to break free from the constant expectations weighing her down.
Taking a deep breath, Y/N clicked on the email icon, the blank page staring back at her. She began typing.
Dear Pen Pal,
I’ve got to admit, writing to a stranger feels... kind of refreshing. No expectations, no filters, right? I can say whatever I want without worrying about who’s judging me on the other side of the screen.
Anyway, life’s been pretty hectic lately. Everyone thinks I've got everything together because I'm good at a lot of things which not to brag or anything...okay, maybe a little—but I’ve got a ton of interests. Art, music, sports, you name it. Except for one tiny little problem... I’m completely burnt out. Ever feel like you’re good at stuff but don’t really care anymore?, but honestly, it’s exhausting trying to meet all these expectations. It’s like I’m carrying around this giant checklist of things I’m supposed to be good at, and it’s never-ending. It's like you’re just going through the motions? Do you ever feel like that?
Anyway, sorry for the existential rant. I’m not going to say too much about who I am—keeping this anonymous sounds like fun. But let’s just say I’m trying to find a way to balance everything without completely burning out. How’s life on your end?
She reread the message and felt a wave of relief wash over her. She wasn’t sure what she expected from this anonymous exchange, but at least it was a chance to let out some of the thoughts that weighed her down. With a small smile, she hit ‘send.’
On the other side of town, Rin Itoshi sat in his quiet dorm, the faint glow of his laptop illuminating the room. The national pen pal initiative wasn’t something he cared about. Soccer and Blue Lock were his priorities, and everything else was just a nuisance to him. Rin stared at the notification on his screen. He didn’t have time for this. With Blue Lock constantly on his mind and the goal of surpassing his brother looming, some random pen pal project was the last thing he wanted to deal with.
Still, the email from his assigned pen pal caught his eye at some point so reluctantly he sighed and clicked on it, expecting a bland introduction. But as he read through it, he found himself oddly engaged.
Burnout? Yeah, that was something he could relate to.
He leaned back, his eyes narrowing slightly as he thought about what to write. He wasn’t great with words, but maybe this was a chance to say things he couldn’t normally say.
Dear Pen Pal,
Expectations, huh? Yeah, I know that feeling. Everyone’s got their eyes on you, waiting for you to mess up, even when you’re at your best. It’s annoying. But I guess the only thing you can do is keep moving forward.
I don’t really do small talk, so don’t expect long replies from me. I’ll just say this—don’t let them get to you. They don’t know what it’s like to be under constant pressure.
I won’t say who I am either, but let’s just keep it that way. It’s easier not knowing who’s on the other side, right?
He hit ‘send’ and shut his laptop. The quiet returned to the room, but for the first time in a while, Rin felt a strange sense of calm. Whoever this person was, they were just as fed up with the weight of expectations as he was.
Maybe this pen pal thing wouldn’t be as useless as he’d thought.

What is love?
Hiori Yo (Blue Lock)
Summary: What is love? Well to Hiori its you.
Content: Fluff, childhood friends w/ Hiori, pre-blue lock
Word count: 262
a/n: I love Hiori sm he deserves everything.
Tumblr media
Hiori’s always wondered what love is like, coming from his house, he never really felt any true love from his parents. They only loved him for his potential in football, they always assumed Hiori had the same passion for the sport like they did. He never loved football. There was no passion, it was just something he had to do. An obligation given from his parents. 
Only through games, songs, books and movies he’s gotten a rough idea of love. The ones talking about burning desires, yearning - a passion. Everyone often says love is like a spark and goes off like a firework. Love that makes people feel like they're flying, or is as sweet as candy.
He never understood that, even after he started dating you - his childhood friend. No, to Hiori love with you wasn’t an intense fire that consumed him from the inside. Love with you was a steady warmth, one he never felt before, one he wanted to stay next to forever. Every moment with you was like the blanket of comfort and warmth he didn’t know he was missing. It was somewhere he felt safe, and wanted to take care of you. You may not have been a thrill the media portrayed loving someone as, Hiori thought you were better than anything anyone else described. 
Being able to express himself, to see you smile because of him, to taking care of each other. Hiori finally knew what love was. Love was you, and he was never letting you feel less than the amount of love he felt.

Sweet Love
Tumblr media
❆ Yo Hiori x f! reader
❆ Warning: not prof-read,
❆ Misc: Word Count: 300+ 12 days of Christmas special with the Blue Lock Boys. 8/12 days with poor child (My baby) Yo Hiori. Hope you enjoy it.
❆ In which the two of you finally got time to lie down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hiori was sitting at {Y/n} desk waiting for her to come back to her desk. He was doing work for her as {Y/n} was on the phone with someone for the business. Even though it was Christmas week, the two of them were still as busy as ever though they did have the time and persimmon to take a few days off. 
Neither of them wanted to stop working in the first place. So what’s the point of taking days off they don’t want? It was more money so why would they stop working? Plus they didn’t need to talk to each other either when working.
Long story short they had said words to each other and didn’t mean anything or how to react. So neither of them didn’t theme didn’t say anything about it. Now they were working their asses off trying to avoid talking about it. Even if that meant skipping the holidays altogether to avoid anything.
“I know I will,” {Y/n} said hanging up the phone. She sighed walking back into her office. She saw Hiori sitting at her desk, she motioned for him to move and avoid saying any words and Hiori nodded and moved back to his desk.
The female sat down at her desk to see that half her work was done. She looked over to the man who was focused on his work on his desk. She was surprised, she only told him to finish something but he clearly finished way more than needed. 
I mean it was stupid, the reason they weren’t talking to each other. It was because they didn’t know how to cope with their feeling along with other feelings they barely experienced. They just couldn’t expect they would say such a thing to each other.
“I really do love you, {Y/n}” Hiori says looking up from his work.
“I love you as well, Yo. I’m sorry.”
Tumblr media
a/n: sorry for it being short. But sometimes it only takes a little to show how much you love someone. :)

Tumblr media
blue lock longfic series pairing hiori yo x reader contains slow slow slow burn, post blue lock timeskip, afab!reader, angst, fluff
Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS
Hiori Yo may be one of Bastard München’s most technically gifted players, but he’s hardly the most popular. Stoic, soft-spoken, and an unapologetic introvert, Hiori’s tactical and supportive play style tends to get overshadowed by his flashier, extroverted teammates. Fame was never his goal—until, unexpectedly, it finds him.
When a mid-season slump raises doubts about the team’s future, an insightful article by an up-and-coming sports journalist shines a new light on his understated brilliance and strategic approach. Her piece goes viral, drawing fresh interest in both the team and Hiori, and challenges the flashy “egoist” narrative with a deeper look at his impact.
As her articles captivate fans and bring unexpected attention to Hiori, their interactions both on and off the field spark a fan-fueled fascination. Their chemistry is undeniable, to say the least, and Bastard München’s marketing team jumps on the opportunity of pairing them in official content. 
What begins as a mere marketing tactic quickly becomes more personal. As their chemistry continues to captivate fans, Hiori finds it harder and harder to ignore the person who believed in him before anyone else did. He wants her to keep watching him, to see the player he’s becoming — and for the first time, he doesn’t mind the attention.
And maybe, just maybe, he’s not the only one getting caught up in the unexpected connection under the eyes of the world who’s watching, waiting and hoping for something more.
Tumblr media
CHAPTER LIST (ongoing)
chapter one (1.6k words) after Bastard München's third loss, Hiori Yo finds a spark of hope in a warm, unexpected article by a cute keen-eyed journalist
chapter two (2.6k words) Hiori discovers Miss Journalist might be a loyal fan of his — and learns the hard way that stalking someone on Winstagram can quickly get complicated.

chapter two Hiori discovers Miss Journalist might be a loyal fan of his — and learns the hard way that stalking someone on Winstagram can quickly get complicated. blue lock longfic series pairing hiori yo x reader contains slow slow slow burn, post blue lock timeskip, afab!reader angst, fluff, very hiori yo centric piece, reader is big hiori fangirl i guess masterlist
Tumblr media
A few days later, Hiori noticed Bastard München’s group chat buzzing on his way to training. In just a couple of days, your article he had stumbled upon gained traction, spreading quickly among fans and media circles.
To his surprise, the team’s marketing team seized the opportunity to reshape the narrative to their advantage. They shared the article on the team’s official social media account, tagging you, with the caption: “Big W, thanks @/yn_offthepage for the awesome feature! We appreciate the support and dedication from all fans as we push forward this season. Don’t count us out yet!”
The reaction was immediate and electric. Fans who had been hesitant—some even critical—now rallied behind the team. Comments flooded in, sparking a renewed sense of hope for the Kaiser-less Bastard München. It was as if your article had breathed life back into a disheartened fanbase, bringing a spark of energy and support that the team badly needed.
By mid-day, another notification caught Hiori’s attention—a link to an old podcast clip that had resurfaced from an episode a few weeks prior to the start of the season. He opened it, surprised to see that you had been a featured guest in Anri Teieri and Ego Jinpachi’s Japanese Football Association podcast show.
The video began with the three of you sitting around a cluttered table with JFA signage and merch. Anri wore her usual JFA-branded polo shirt, and Ego wore a dark dress shirt paired with his signature bolo tie. 
You, however, were dressed more casually this time—casual but sporty. You donned a simple oversized tracksuit jacket and pants, with your messy bun adding an almost charming touch to your appearance. Your cheeks were lightly dusted with blush, and somehow looked radiant under the studio’s lights.
The podcast attracted attention quickly, and for good reason. The topic of discussion? The top three teams to watch that season. When Anri posed the question to you, Hiori hadn’t been prepared for your bold and quick response: Bastard München. The choice raised an eyebrow from Ego, who clearly hadn’t been expecting it.
In the next few seconds, you defended your choice with a blend of sharp analysis and an unexpected warmth. 
“Bastard München may have their flaws,” you explained, “but this season is about more than just winning. They’re rebuilding, and that means everyone now has a chance to shape the team’s dynamics in a way we haven’t seen before. It’s exciting because of how the team chooses to play things out this season can make or break them.”
As Hiori watched the clip, he couldn’t suppress a slight smile. The way you spoke about Bastard München struck a chord.
Your words weren’t just empty praise. They held conviction, a belief in their potential that was oddly reassuring. It reminded him of why he played, of the love for the game that had gotten buried under expectations and pressure.
“Think of it this way,” you continued, “just like in the Blue Lock project, players are forged through fire and brimstone, transforming into better versions of themselves. But this time, it’s not just individuals. It’s a whole team, shaping their destiny together. Aside from snide fan remarks, the only limiting factor to their potential growth is themselves, with the season a ticking time bomb hovering over their heads. This is where real egoists evolve.”
Not many sports personalities, especially journalists, would have taken the risk of showing open support for a team with uncertain prospects.
She a Noel Noa fan? he wondered.
Regardless, he hadn’t expected to feel that weight behind your statement, but something about it felt... right. 
At practice later that day, the clip had gone fully viral. So viral that the team’s sly marketing team couldn’t resist showing it to the squad. And like clockwork, during their break, Coach Noa and the marketing manager flagged down the sweaty athletes and gathered them in the locker room to watch the podcast clip.
The team crowded around the big TV, and as they watched, Hiori felt the atmosphere shift. The weight of their previous defeats seemed to lift. Your public support for Bastard München—the way you called them the team to watch out for this season—was like kindling to their dying embers. 
Even without looking at each other, they can feel that there’s a newfound determination settling within them. Even Greisner’s grumpy self got visibly pumped, his potty mouth running nonstop, but in a good way.
Watching his teammates respond to the clip reaffirmed what he’d felt earlier. But it was Hiori who felt the impact the most. Your conviction, your words, as if everything was directed to him.
This wasn’t just about the praise; it was about being seen, understood, in a way he hadn’t known they needed. Your words had done more than lift him; they’d awakened the fire within the entire team, making them feel, for the first time in a while, like they were exactly where they were meant to be.
But what surprised Hiori was the next clip that Coach Noa played.
The clip showed Anri bringing out an exaggeratedly large whiteboard titled “Ego’s Top Player Watch List”.
It showed a list of the top ten players to watch this season, paired with a comically drawn cartoon face of a player beside their name. It listed high-profile names and football stars everyone was expecting to see. The usual suspects—Julian Loki, Michael Kaiser, Shidou Ryuusei, the Itoshi Brothers—were all there.
But you interrupted Ego’s explanation mid-sentence.
“Not to be rude, but this looks like a ‘super fan’s’ wet dream.”
The team erupted in laughter. Hiori could hear Anri snort in the background, trying to cover it up with a cough after getting a stink eye from Ego himself.
Even Coach Noa couldn’t help himself, letting out a low chuckle at that unfiltered comment about his former brother-in-arms.
The camera panned to Ego, whose face was now a mix of curiosity and provocation. Through gritted teeth, he said, emphasizing every syllable of every word, “Is that so? What makes you say that, Y/N-chan?"
Realizing how rude that sounded, you bowed profusely, the tips of your ears red from the embarrassment. “I’m sorry! That came out wrong!”
“What I mean is, these are the players that football fanboys usually rattle off,” you said, catching yourself a bit too late. You just called Ego a fanboy. You winced but pressed on.
“These are the stereotypical names everyone expects to hear. But there are so many others who are just as impactful in their own way. Players like Nanase Nijiro, Niko Ikki, Agi, Miroku Darai, Alexis Ness …”, and for a second, you visibly, faltered, hesitating.
But you continued with a smile, “... and Hiori Yo, to name a few.”
“Oooh, that’s some hot take you’ve got there, Y/N-chan.” Anri laughed. “Also, two players from Bastard München?”
“So I’m guessing your favorite player is from the German club then?” Ego pried as he erased names on the board to replace them with Alexis Ness, Agi, and Hiori Yo’s names.
“Is it that obvious?” You chuckled. “Actually, let me show you.”
The team’s eyes were glued to the screen as you started unzipping your tracksuit jacket and revealed a Bastard München black jersey with the big bold gold number on the front.
Jersey number 23.
Hiori Yo’s jersey number.
His jersey.
“Ooooh!” The team erupted in laughter and teasing as they eyed Hiori, who was clearly stunned by the sudden reveal.
And it didn’t stop there.
“He’s a strategist both on and off the field. A true genius." You leaned forward, eyes bright with conviction.
“Everyone’s always focused on the strikers, but for me, midfielders steal the show. Playmaking is the heart of football; without midfielders to anchor the team, you’d just have chaos and confusion. Don’t get me wrong, I love the excitement that forwards like Julian Loki bring. But midfielders like Hiori Yo have their own kind of charm, a different thrill.” 
Your voice softened, your gaze momentarily distant, as if lost in thought. “There’s something mesmerizing about the way they read the game, anticipating moves before anyone else sees them. They make football more dynamic, more unpredictable. What’s not to like, right?”
You paused, catching your breath, and glanced around, realizing you rambled on. Anri and Ego exchanged amused glances, clearly entertained by your enthusiasm. Hiori watched as you tucked a stray strand of hair behind your ear, cheeks flushed as if you'd suddenly remembered you weren't alone.
It was clear you’d been watching him closely, noticing the subtleties of his play that often went unnoticed. And for a moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.
As the clip ended, the locker room broke out in playful whistles, the whole Bastard München jeering at Hiori. Grins and knowing looks flew his way, as they egged him on this surprising development.
“Look at you, Hiori,” Ndiaye teased, nudging him. “Got yourself a fangirl.”
Hiori felt his cheeks grow warm as he tried to hide a small smile. But something stirred within him. Was it validation? Recognition? He couldn’t quite tell.  
“Who wouldn’t like Hiori? He’s, like, the ultra-sadist.” Isagi laughed as he elbowed Hiori on the side.
“Ah, shaddap, that was ages ago,” Hiori laughed, shoving him back. “But this ultra-sadist ain’t passin’ to ya if ya play like crap next match!”
“Damn, so cruel, so mean, Hiori.” Kunigami said.
“Guess it’s just my charm, eh?” Hiori grinned as he gracefully dodged a playful jab from a pouty, jealous Igarashi.
“Lucky! I’d kill for a fan in the press, so unfair.” Raichi groaned, casting a jealous look at Hiori.
Theo Sachs draped his arm around Raichi and said, “I doubt Miss Y/N would even write about you, even if you’re the master striker. You gotta be smart, not a smartass.”
“Plus, if we’re judging the team, you’d probably come in just above Igarashi at the bottom.” Yukimiya chimed in, laughing. “Even Gagamaru’s got a better shot at landing a cute fan.” Gagamaru simply huffed in smug satisfaction.
A loud clap broke their chaos as they heard Coach Noa clear his throat. “Alright, that’s enough. This is good publicity, yes, but remember, this puts all eyes on us for the next few matches. So don’t slack off. We’ve got a chance to prove them wrong, and I expect every one of you to play like it.”
The team erupted in shouts and cheers, clearly energized by the encouragement in the video. It might not have seemed like much, but having someone voice their confidence in Bastard Munchen out there for everyone to see lifted their spirits and boosted morale in a way they hadn’t expected. 
Football players are so single-minded, Hiori chuckled to himself.
The team dispersed as Coach Noa dismissed them with a wave, nodding with certainty at Hiori before heading to the field. The rest of the team scattered, eager to enjoy the rest of their break before afternoon training resumed.
He watched them go, but his mind lingered on the clip and on you.
Hiori felt a strange warmth unfurl in his chest. You weren't focused on the typical names, the usual flashy strikers; you spoke about the heart of the game, the grind, the transformation.
And when you mentioned the midfielders—the players who built the game from the ground up, who connected every move and controlled the chaos on the field—it felt like you were talking directly to him.
He couldn’t remember the last time someone had seen that side of his role, had recognized the way he approached the game. He felt seen—not for his skill or his stats, but for the way he played, for the choices he made on the field.
This wasn’t validation from his parents or praise from a coach. This was different. It was like a piece of himself he’d almost forgotten was gently being uncovered again. And in that moment, Hiori realized he wasn’t just another player on the field. He was Hiori Yo, a player with his own way of seeing the game—and you understood it.
Hiori replayed the clip, slipping on his earphones as he sank onto an empty bench under the shade. He let the image of you in his jersey burn into the back of his mind. And that smile.
This feels damn good, huh?
It was strange. Most people dismissed his approach to the game as too quiet, too calculated. But you understood it, and that understanding warmed him from the inside out, like a light he didn’t want to fade.
Without a thought, he checked your Winstagram account he had bookmarked. He scrolled down further before stopping as he spotted the picture he had been looking for. He clicked on it, and it showed him a carousel of images from that podcast episode. He did linger a little longer on a candid photo of you in his jersey.
He tried to zoom in, double tapping the image. “Ah, shit.” he muttered, as a heart-shaped “like” notification popped up instead.
In a panic, his fingers moved before he could even think about it. His heart raced as he tapped it continuously, unliking it, then tapped it again, liking it once more.
He froze, realizing that what he had done probably made things worse.
“Well… no goin’ back now, huh?” With a soft chuckle, he hit the follow button before stashing his phone in his bag and jogging back to the field, a smile playing on his lips.
While in the middle of researching a story, you were drenched in sweat as your phone blew up with notifications. The JFA podcast going viral definitely wasn’t on your to-do list today. While the clip's popularity was undoubtedly a career boost for a budding sports journalist like you, the attention was overwhelming.
Many praised you for your insightful take on the team and Hiori, but others labeled you an overzealous fan, clinging to idealistic views. As you scrolled through the messages and comments, a creeping anxiety settled in. 
Was your conviction really misplaced? Maybe you should’ve just mentioned PXG, like the other “normal” fans.
Instead, you had blurted out your admiration for Bastard Munchen—and, to make it worse, wore the jersey of your favorite player on camera.
What was I thinking, showing that off in a recorded video? So stupid.
As you scrolled further, a few off-the-rails comments caught your eye: 
When she talked about Hiori, she gloooowed.
Hiori Yo's biggest fangirl confirmed?
Your face flushed, a mix of embarrassment and something else, something unexpected. You quickly swiped past the post, your heart pounding. Was it really that obvious? The beating in your chest wouldn't go away.
Your moment of procrastination was interrupted by a series of Winstagram notifications popping up on your screen.
hioyi_yo23 liked a post. hioyi_yo23 liked a post. hioyi_yo23 started following you.
“Shit. Shit, shit shit shit shit. What now?!” You choked on your iced latte and scrambled to open the notification.
You couldn’t tell if the universe was playing some twisted prank on you. Because when you saw what photo Hiori Yo—Bastard Munchen’s midfielder, jersey number 23, THE HIORI YO HIMSELF—had liked, it felt like the entire world had just shifted on its axis.
It was your photo, wearing his jersey. He saw. He watched the clip. And he knew your Winstagram account.
Wait—did he like it and un-like it?
You quickly opened his profile, you fingers trembling. His account was a stark contrast to yours. There was barely anything personal—just a handful of Bastard Munchen-related posts, a few photos of teammates and friends, and some glimpses of his personal life, like the computer games he played or events he attended.
Everything was cryptic, like the man himself, showing only fragments of his life.
“Well, here goes nothing,” you muttered, butterflies exploding in her stomach as you tapped the follow button.
You stared at the screen for a moment, holding you breath. A smile tugged at your lips as you read it again: hiori_yo23 follows you.

chapter five A win turns bittersweet for Hiori when the person he wants to share it with the most seems just out of reach—as he sees Miss Journalist running towards someone else. chapter five pairing hiori yo x reader contains slow slow slow burn, post blue lock timeskip, afab!reader, hurt/comfort masterlist
Tumblr media
The camera zooms in on Hiori, his face glistening with sweat as he cards a hand through his hair, the other planted on his hip. The stadium is packed, buzzing with energy, each cheer reverberating like a pulse through the field.
This wasn’t just another mid-season game. It was Bastard München’s chance at redemption after three consecutive losses to Manshine City earlier this season. Gold and black jerseys dominated the stands, their presence louder, prouder than ever.
It’s the second half, Bastard München leading 2-1. A stark contrast to their past matches. The team plays with intent, every move precise, every pass calculated. 
On the field, Mikage Reo sprints across the pitch, ball in his possession, Chigiri Hyouma shadowing him like a predator ready to strike. On the far side, Nagi Seishirou lingers near the goalpost, waiting, ever the silent threat. Isagi and Kurona track him closely. While Agi zones out Kunigami and Chris Prince weaves in the background.
Reo gets cornered by Geisner and Yukimiya, but he’s quick on his feet. A step over, a feint, and he’s past them, sending the ball to Swift. Swift barely hesitates before passing to Nagi, who traps it effortlessly. 
Then you see it. A cyan streak racing toward the goal, as if it’s been anticipating this exact moment. 
Hiori.
Nagi fires off a 2-Stage Fake volley shot, the ball cutting right between Isagi and Ness. But Hiori’s there—anticipating, intercepting. His kick connects with the ball a fraction of a second before it reaches Gagamaru.
The crowd goes crazy. 
Hiori’s block keeps Manshine City from tying the score.
The camera lands on an unnerved Nagi, his expression neutral, save for the way he wipes the sweat off his face—a small tell of frustration. Then it shifts back to Hiori, engulfed in a bear hug from Gagamaru while Isagi jumps onto his back. A wide smile breaks across Hiori’s face.
That smile. That goddamn smile. That laughter you can still hear in your head, hearty and full.
It reminds you of the Hiori from that “date.” The one the fans loved. The one where the ship officially sailed.
People love the two of you together—the cute journalist and the rising Bastard München midfielder. A rom-com come to life.
You’ve replayed that video a dozen times when no one’s around. It’s silly, really, how much it made you smile. Everything about it—the matching outfits, the effortless chemistry—felt so natural.
Hiori could be a bit of a tease (you knew that all too well when you play games together), but outside of those sessions, you haven’t expected him to have this kind of effect. Especially on you. 
And the Bastard München marketing team really did a good job in editing the video. Everything was so perfect.
It wasn’t scripted, but it felt too perfect to be real.
And you just can’t believe it. 
“So… about that dinner.” His words still ring in your ears. 
For days, it was all anyone talked about—the love story of the season, unfolding before their eyes.
Ship of the year, Isagi had joked.
Or so you thought.
Because the date never happened. 
With the mid-season kicking off, Hiori was busier than ever. His schedule filled with training, matches, and media appearances. His face is everywhere—billboards, ads, social media feeds. Thanks to that video, his popularity skyrocketed.
And you? You watched it all unfold from the sidelines.
The viral hype surrounding your supposed “ship” cooled off as quickly as it had ignited. The whirlwind fantasy of “what could’ve been” faded into silence, replaced by the steady march of reality. 
Your reality. Back to your mundane, normal life.
You and Hiori still kept in touch—sporadic messages, occasional gaming nights here and there. But the texts grew shorter, the gaming nights even rarer. And eventually, your once-familiar encounters on the field, where work and personal lives blurred, became a distant memory. 
But both of you still promised to go out though. At least, you said you would. 
The details? As vague as it can be. 
And you don’t blame Hiori. He’s an athlete, a rising star with the world at his feet. And you’re…
You’re just another journalist.
A lucky journalist who happened to ride the Bastard München bandwagon at the right time. A lucky journalist, but still—a forgettable one nonetheless.
Hiori wasn’t ghosting you; you knew that much. No matter how short your conversations are, he always made an effort to check in, even if it was just a quick text. 
hiori_yo23: saw this cute 2B n 9S keychains, should we get matching ones?
yn_offthepage: ooh i want 9S if ever u do get a pair
hiori_yo23: coz he reminds ya of me? 
yn_offthepage: no coz u like 2B so much lol
But it didn’t change the fact that he felt unreachable.
It’s not helping that Hiori seems omnipresent everywhere you go. He was everywhere, just not where you could actually reach him.
I’m not his girlfriend. I shouldn’t be… acting like this. Complaining like I am one. God, pull it together.
Not a girlfriend. Maybe a friend. Not a workmate. Just… someone he sees occasionally because of work. Someone he plays with sometimes.
We were like planets in the same orbit, drawn close for a moment before drifting apart again. 
What are we, even?
The question pops into your head, but you shake it off. Immature, you think. You’re an adult. You shouldn’t even be bothered by this... situationship.
Or whatever this is. 
“Are you dating that football player?” your mom asked one night she called, her tone dripping with the kind of suspicion she reserved for jocks. Her disdain for “jocks” had roots in her own teenage experiences with their womanizing antics, and now, you were caught in her crosshairs.
“She could still date him and not get hitched, you know,” your dad interjected with the air of someone offering sage advice. “It’d be great for her career. Maybe she could ditch that journalism gig and do something worthwhile—like becoming a news anchor. Or, hey, one of those influencer girlfriends. Then dump him once you’re famous enough.”
Your dad’s pragmatism was somehow more insulting than your mom’s cynicism.
As if your worth was measured by clout. As if everything you’d worked for—the late nights, the endless rewrites, the constant grind—meant nothing unless you traded it for likes and followers.
And it wasn’t just your parents.
Even at work, the whispers about Hiori followed you like a shadow.
“You’re still writing about him?” a colleague asks, her tone more pointed than curious.
“He’s just like the others,” your entertainment writer deskmate whispers, her voice heavy with skepticism. “Calm, cool, collected? Please. That’s just PR. His real colors will show soon enough.”
Another adds, “It’s good you’re not focusing on him too much. Don’t want people thinking you’re biased, right?”
The senior sports columnist across from you popps his bubble gum loudly, leaning on your desk divider with the casual arrogance of someone who believed his opinion mattered most. 
Ugh, men. 
“You know you should really diversify your coverage. It’s better for your career. Otherwise, you’re gonna get typecasted as ‘that Bastard München journalist’.”
His words hits like a jab.
“I’m not ‘that Bastard München journalist,’” you mutters, fingers pounding the keyboard harder than necessary. “I’m just a journalist.”
He grins, ignoring your simmering frustration as he shoves his phone in your face. “Are you, though? Look.”
The screen blazed bright with comment after comment:
Bastard München fan journalist.
The lucky Bastard München groupie.
She’s not even trying to hide her bias.
Is she really using Hiori Yo to clout chase?
We’ve been fans of Hiori before her. We were here first, get in line!
Your heart sinks.
Was that how people saw me?
Your face burns as you turn your attention back to the screen, pretending to ignore him. The article you’re working on blur before your eyes, the once-familiar rhythm of writing now disrupted by a torrent of doubt.
Were they right?
Had I reduced myself to this?
Your mind scramble for rebuttals. 
I was doing my job, wasn’t I? Covering one of the most exciting teams in football. So what if I focused on Bastard München? They were newsworthy.
You press your fingers to your temples, willing the doubts to fade. But instead, they echo louder, eating you up.
And Hiori… Hiori isn't here to make it better. Not that you need him to feel better.
He’s out there, shining brighter than ever, while you sit here, questioning every choice that has led you to this moment.
A thunderous roar from the crowd snaps you out of your spiral, grounding you in the present. The energy of the stadium floods your senses as your gaze darts back to the field.
Tumblr media
Hiori executes a perfect triple nutmeg pass, weaving through three Manshine City defenders and sending the ball cleanly to Ness. Chigiri immediately takes off, chasing Ness towards the goal. His relentless speed forces Ness into a corner, where Agi and Nishioka intercepts snatching possession and launching the ball hard toward Reo.
But Reo barely has time to react before Kurona swoops in, intercepting it with precision. The planetary hotline combo snaps into action as Kurona passes to Isagi, who then feeds it to Yukimiya. With laser focus, Yukimiya unleashes his gyro shot, a powerful arc that soars into the net, leaving the goalie to dust.
3–1.
The crowd erupts into cheers, the roar echoing through the stadium as the timer sits at the last 30 seconds. Hiori quickly runs the numbers in his head. Even if Manshine somehow manages to score again, they’d still lose. 
This game’s ours.
Still, he could feel the hunger burning in every player’s eyes—both Bastard München’s and Manshine City’s. These weren’t players who’d give up, no matter the odds.
Agi sets the ball for kickoff, his gaze cutting briefly to Nagi, their team’s last hope for a miracle. They’ll try for a Hail Mary hat trick, Hiori thinks, already bracing himself.
The whistle blows, and Agi launches the ball into a high, elegant arc. Nagi surges forward, his strides long and smooth. Chigiri was right on him, but Hiori follows close behind, his longer legs eating up the distance.
“Thirty seconds left, princess,” Hiori spats, pushing himself to match Chigiri’s blistering pace. The red-haired panther barely glances his way, jaw tight with determination.
“Beat it, genius,” Chigiri snaps, his voice laced with exhaustion and irritation. His movements are sharp but increasingly frantic.
The ball is still far from the goal—at least 40 meters out. With 15 seconds left, Nagi traps the ball with his chest casually, making it look effortless. In the same motion, he turns and strikes it with all his power.
The ball beams through the air toward the goal, but Gagamaru is ready. He leaps high, his frame cutting off the angle, and catches it cleanly.
The buzzer roars to life, and the crowd explodes in celebration. Bastard München has won.
As his teammates began celebrating, Hiori couldn’t help but think about you. 
Their number one fan. His number fan, he’d like to think. 
He jogs toward the bench, already imagining telling you about the game.
But before he could reach the dugout, reporters swarm the players, including him, microphones and cameras in every direction. 
He tries to scan the crowd, his height doing him no favors in the chaos. His eyes dart between Manshine City and Bastard München’s players, the reporters, and the fans. Isagi and Yukimiya are already being cornered. Some of them make their way to him and Ness. None of them are you.
Where are ya?
Surely, ya wouldn’t wanna miss this win from yer favorite team, right? Hiori thinks. 
But then, he sees you. 
From the corner of his eye, he sees you jogging from the other side of the field, your notebook in hand. Your hair is in a high ponytail, wearing a hoodie and your cute leggings you wore when he taught you how to dribble. 
Relief washes over him, and for a moment, everything else fades.
You’re smiling as you jog towards his direction. Or so he thought.
He was about to break off from the current crowd of reporters and players around him just to get to you. His mouth opens to call your name but the words get stuck in his throat.
A reporter is already speaking to him, their voice barely registering to him. Everything feels distant—muted, as though the stadium has gone silent. All he can see is you.
Then you run right past the Bastard München bench. 
Past him. 
Without even a glance in his direction.
Hiori freezes. 
You’re running towards Manshine City’s side. Jogging to their dugout. Towards Nagi Seishirou.
Fuck. 
“Hiori? Hiori?” The reporter asks, pulling him back to this moment.
He blinks, trying to focus, but his thoughts splinter and scatter as his gaze locks on you again. You’ve stopped in front of Nagi, and his face lights up just a bit with that sheepish grin he’s perfected. 
“Huh? Whatcha say?” Hiori mutters distractedly, his voice hollow.
The reporter raises an eyebrow but repeats the question patiently. “How does it feel to avenge your loss against Manshine City with such a strong win today?”
Hiori barely hears it. Or more like he chooses not to. His eyes flick back to you
You’re standing in front of Nagi, notebook in hand, your body language relaxed, your posture open. Nagi, in turn, leans forward towards you, towering over you like how he does. His casual confidence makes the scene look infuriatingly effortless. 
He seems comfortable, even amused by your questions, and the sight only made the knot in Hiori’s stomach tighten.
Then Nagi grins—wide, genuine—and you laugh.
Hiori can’t remember the last time he’s seen you laugh like that. Weeks, maybe?
It’s been weeks since he’s seen you in person.
Ness nudges him, shaking his shoulder lightly. “Hiori? You good?”
His gaze stays on you and Nagi. The way Nagi is leaning slightly closer, his posture hunched but relaxed, like he has all the time in the world. For you. 
Nagi’s no longer the tall lanky guy that he was when they were in Blue Lock. Just like him, he’s grown more mature, his body more toned, exuding way more confidence in ways Hiori can’t.
Is Manshine City yer new assignment now?
Hiori knows you’ve interviewed countless players. He’s seen you talk to Otoya once, for fuck’s sake—watched as you deftly shut him down when he tried flirting. He’s never thought twice about it before.
But this is different.
This is Nagi Seishirou. 
A player Hiori knows is brilliant. A genius, even. Someone who never wavers, someone who’s always striving for the top.
Someone better than him.
“Hiori’s a little out of it today,” Ness interjects smoothly, stepping in when the silence stretches too long. He gives the reporter an easy, apologetic smile. “Why don’t you talk to Kurona or Grim instead? They’ve got great insights about the game.”
Before the reporter can respond, Ness pulls Hiori aside, his hand firm on his shoulder.
“What’s wrong with you?” Ness asks under his breath, his tone a mixture of curiosity and concern. He notices him glancing towards the direction of the other team. 
Hiori doesn’t answer. He can’t. His mind is still spinning with the image of you and Nagi.
You hadn’t even looked at him. Or at least tried to look for him in the crowd.
Is this wishful thinking? Am I reading things wrong?
And then, a sharp ache surfaces, one that feels so familiar. He remembers his parents, the endless lectures about how playing midfield was a waste of his potential. How he should’ve been a forward—the star, the one who stands out. The usual constant comparisons.
Not enough. He’s never enough.
Fuck. Shouldn’t be thinking like this. M’not her boyfriend. 
Ness doesn’t press further, instead, he steers Hiori toward the edge of the crowd. But the bitter taste lingers, sharp and unrelenting.
Hiori’s never known what jealousy feels like.
But now he does.
And it tastes fucking awful.
Tumblr media
You try not to think about Hiori as you interviewed Nagi. But it was nearly impossible to ignore him. 
He is just there. 
Just a few meters away on the same field, surrounded by teammates and reporters, his hair catching the light like a beacon pulling your gaze.
You told yourself you wouldn’t look. 
Not now. Focus. This isn’t the time.
But this is the only chance you’d have to see him, yet here you are, prioritizing work over what your heart wants. Typical. Your editor had assigned you to Manshine City for now, and that meant professionalism came first. Your feelings? Irrelevant.
Stupid dumb, stupid feelings.
Your hands tremble slightly as you adjust your notebook. No amount of distraction could dull the ache of not being able to walk up to him and just… you know, talk.
Pushing the thought down, you force a polite smile and direct your attention to Manshine City’s star forward, Nagi Seishirou.
“Great game today, and thanks for your time,” you say, your voice louder than usual to drown out the roar of the crowd. “That last kick—it might seem futile to some people, but it definitely wasn’t. Would you say it’s about making a statement, even in the face of a loss?”
Nagi scratches the back of his neck, his expression softening as if you’d touched on something he rarely thought about. “Well… yeah. I knew we were gonna lose, but the clock was still ticking. If I can make a goal, I’ll make a goal. 
“It’s cringe, if you think about it but yeah. But it doesn’t matter if it seems pointless.”, he adds. He leans in slightly, lowering his head so he could hear you better. 
His closeness catches you off guard, conscious of the distance. You step back instinctively, masking it by glancing at your notes. Cameras flash nearby, their shutters loud in the tense, post-game air.
“That makes sense,” you reply, keeping your tone even. “It’s not over till it’s over, right?”
He nods, but the slouch in his shoulders betrays his exhaustion. Maybe it wasn’t just you; maybe it was the weight of the loss pressing down on him. You’ve seen it before—players trying to put on a brave face for the cameras.
Still, a part of you wonders what Hiori might’ve said in Nagi’s place. 
Would he have shrugged it off, teasing you instead? Or would he have stared you down with that thoughtful gaze, saying something far deeper than you expected?
You push the thought away, burying it like all the way down.
Before you could ask another question, an arm drapes over Nagi’s shoulder, and Reo appears beside him, his easy grin on full blast. “Hey, aren’t you the journalist who interviewed Bastard München last time? The one who’s a Hiori fan?”
Your heart drops. For a moment, you feel your world stop. 
Heat surges to your cheeks as you force a tight-lipped smile. You hope the grass would swallow you whole, or at least that the cameras aren’t catching this.
“Uh… yeah,” you manage to say, your voice barely above a whisper.
Reo chuckles, his energy casual and teasing. “Well, lucky us, huh? Maybe you’ll be our lucky charm next time.”
You know it’s just a joke, but the words land like a punch in the gut. The implication lingers—like you aren’t here because of your professionalism but because of someone.
Before you could respond, Chigiri swoops in, cutting through the tension with a flick of his hand.
“Sorry about Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb here,” he gestures to Reo and Nagi. “This one”—he jabs a thumb at Reo—“doesn’t know when to shut up, and that one”—he points to Nagi—“doesn’t know he’s being rude to the nice journalist.”
You let out a nervous laugh, grateful for the interruption.
“It’s okay,” you close your notebook, a small considerate smile on your lips. “Interviews after a loss aren’t easy for anyone.”
“Hopefully, you’ll interview us when we win next time,” Reo quips, glancing at Nagi with a knowing smirk.
“You should watch our games more often,” Nagi adds, his voice softer now. Exhaustion? Frustration? You can’t say for sure.
 His eyes lingera on you just a little too long. “And… you’re better than the reporters I usually get. Just saying.”
The compliment catches you off guard, but you brush it off with a polite chuckle, waving goodbye as you step away.
You don’t let yourself look toward Bastard München’s side of the field, no matter how badly you want to. The urge claws at your chest, but you can’t risk it—not after what Reo had said, not with the cameras still flashing around you.
Tumblr media
On the train ride home, your phone buzzes in your pocket. Setting down the book you’ve just started, you pull it out, expecting a message from your editor. Instead, it was a Winstagram notification.
Manshine City tagged you on a post.
The photo was candid, sharp: you mid-laugh, standing just a little too close to Nagi. His towering frame and relaxed posture made the interaction look… intimate. 
The caption reads: Look who finally came to see us! Long overdue interview @/thenagiseishirou @/yn_offthepage 🙌
The post is already gaining traction. At first, the comments were innocuous, even kind.
『so dedicated her articles are always spot-on cool seeing reporters getting along with players like this love her work can’t wait to read her take on the game.』
A faint smile creeps onto your face, and for a fleeting moment, relief trickles in. At least some people appreciate your effort. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad—
And then came the other comments.
『guess Bastard München wasnt enough for her another player groupie. classic. bet she’s just there for the photo ops she doesn’t even play. it’s always the pretty ones chasing players for attention not a real journalist she done cloutchasing using hiori? now nagi? 』
The knot in your stomach tightens. The tuna sandwich you had for dinner threatening to resurface as you stare at the screen. 
The initial warmth from the positive comments is now eclipsed by the sharp sting of the negativity. You knew this would happen eventually—it was part of the job. But knowing didn’t make it hurt any less.
You stare at your phone. The comments, their meaning cuts clear: doubt, mockery, misunderstanding.
Your chest feels heavy. You think of your workmates, your editor, your family. Would they see this? Would they believe it? 
Would Hiori?
Hiori.
Your heart sinks even further. The thought of him seeing the post—seeing you laughing with Nagi like that, with comments painting you as some shallow opportunist—makes your hands tremble.
You want to explain, to set the record straight. This isn’t what it looked like. You’re doing your job. But even if you had the words, who would listen?
Shit, shit, shit, shit.
The train rattles along, the hum of the engine filling the silence in your head as you stare at the screen. You’re no longer scrolling but the pain only gets stronger the longer you stare at it blankly. Tears are already threatening to spill but you’re too prideful to cry at a train ride, even if it’s the last ride of the night.
Then your phone buzzes again.
hiori_yo23: Didn’t know you were a Manshine City fan now.
You freeze.
The words stabs deeper than any of the comments ever could. His chat devoid of the usual teasing tone. Or the cute emojis. Your grip tightens on the phone, your knuckles white as your world seems to tilt off balance.
He saw it. Of course, he has.
Your breath hitches, chest constricting as the sting of his words settled in.
You want to reply—to explain everything. That it's just an assignment. That Bastard Munchen is still number one in your heart. 
That you haven’t forgotten about him, not for a second. That even as you stood on the field, the only person you could think about was him.
But you don’t. You can’t.
Because what do you even say to him? Who are you to him?
The journalist he’s polite to during interviews? A fleeting acquaintance he plays games with?
Hot tears spill out, sliding down your cheeks as the city blurs past the train window. You don’t bother wiping them away.
You don’t have the right to expect anything more.
And the worst part?
You couldn’t even blame him for misunderstanding. Not when you don’t even know if you mean anything to him at all.
Tumblr media
amari's notes: this took me a while to write. the ideas i had werent that solid enough so it was a struggle. i think a little misunderstanding would stir the pot. i tried reading it out loud alone and i felt so sad ngl anw, if you’re up for it, I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to leave a reply or drop an ask.

Blue Lock: Preeminent Special
Tumblr media
♫ Blue Lock x f! reader
♫ Warning: not prof-read
♫ Extras: Word count 2k+ This is to Preeminent which is out on my Wattpad
♫ In which {Y/n} and the Blue Lock boys celebrated Halloween
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Halloween was just around the corner and {Y/n} begged Ego for everyone to get a day off. To which she succeeded and to was why she was eating out with her step-sister Anri. But {Y/n} wasn’t alone, no she was waiting for someone and didn’t want to wait alone which was why Anri came along.  
At first, she did try to get her Manager Hikura to go but he was busy doing whatever he could so that he wouldn’t have to go. Especially because he knew who she was meeting with. 
After a while of waiting the door of the cafe swung open. {Y/n} didn’t have to turn her head as a thick German accent entered her ears. Then another softer accent softened his words.
“Guten Morgen meine Lieben."
"Guten Morgen {Y/n}." How are you doing?” 
Anri left the table and said she’d wait in the car, even though {Y/n} knew she was lying. The two other people sat down, one beside her and the other sitting on the opposite. 
“You look great, Ness.” Her words were sweet and taken with no ill intent toward the man. 
“Thank you,” Ness's lips curl into a smile that stretches from ear to ear. “I can say the same for you.”
“Of course,  just look at me…”
As she was talking to Ness the male beside her grabbed her face and pulled her face to his. “Meine Lieben aren’t you cocky. Would you like me to help you?” The male's blond hair with blue ends fell in front of her face just perfectly to cover his blue glossy eyes that stared at her with contentment... 
“Kaiser, I’ll pull your rat tail if you don’t stop.” She threatens holding her hand behind his hair. 
He just started at her a smirk brought upon his face, “Go ahead, do it.”
{Y/n} pulls her hand away a disgusted look on her face. “Fuck off.”
Just in the nick of time the waiter came to the table and served the drinks and an appetizer that the female had ordered when Anri was there. 
The three ate the appetizer quietly and ordered their food when the waiter came by again. They stayed quiet, but there was something going on under the table. Kaiser and rubbing her leg up and down, and Ness on the other side of the table was playing with her feet with his. 
And {Y/n} had to endure it because she knew if she said anything the people around would jump to it and record her, though this whole interaction is probably being recorded by a few people. She had to think of the bigger picture of things. Also since the news got out that {Y/n} was meeting with football players from Germany, a lot of people speculated who it was.
Soon their food was delivered and Kaiser took his hand off her thigh, though Ness kept playing footsies. 
She sighed feeling relieved. She knew the reason the two were bothering her, cause she couldn’t do anything. Well, she could do something, but since she knew there were a lot of fans recording around she didn’t want to make rumors happen with the two of them.
“How have you two been lately?” {Y/n} starts up and conversation. Though it wasn’t in German or Japanese but instead in Latin which neither understood.
“What?” Ness asked looking up and her, his brows furrowed as he was confused and so was Kaiser.
“Quod non potes intelligere me? (What can you not understand me?)” This was a great opportunity to tease the boys and not a lot of people will understand her at the moment. 
An eerie smile was shown on Kaiser's face as she talked in a language he didn’t know, but one thing was for sure she sure was teasing the two of them.
“Por que não aprender uma coisa ou duas sobre línguas diferentes. (Why not learn a thing or two about different languages.)” A smirk appeared on her face as Kaiser got more angierd.  
Though Ness on the other end wasn’t too mad about it. All he cared about was she was talking now and he could hear her voice, even if he couldn’t understand it. 
Finally, after a while, she stopped doing it and it made Kaiser calm down. The three finally had a proper conversation.
“What are you doing today, since it is Halloween?” Ness asked wiping off his mouth and setting down his utensils.
“I was going to do some cooking and then organize a party with some people. And no you two are not invited 'cause you said you need to go home.” She responds taking Ness’s plate and putting it on top of hers for the waiter to collect. 
Kaiser puts his hand around the female while Ness and her keep on talking with each other. He also paid for the meal they departed. Kaiser and Ness were going to head home back to Germany and {Y/n} went back home where Anri was waiting for her.
“How was the meetup?” Anri asked helping her younger sister take her bag and jacket. 
“It was ok.”
From those three simple words, Anri pretty much knew what happened. “Oh, by the way, Loki said he would be here in about 7 minutes.”
“Oh, Shit!” {Y/n} panicked and rushed to her room to get ready for Loki. She changed her outfit to something more neat and not so outgoing and fancy. She brushed her hair and did it in a ponytail. 
As he was doing her hair to make sure it looked good, the sound of knocking on the door made its way to her ears. She rushed downstairs answering the door.
“Hello, Loki.” She moved to the side letting him in, “Again sorry for the late invitation, just glad you could make it. It’s been a while since I last saw you without being on a football field.” She was nervous and one could hear it in her voice. 
The guest could only chuckle at her antics. “It’s fine. I’m just happy to be here with you.” Loki made his way into the kitchen seeing everything already laid out and ready to be put together. “Looks like you’re a few steps ahead.”
{Y/n} walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face and nodded her head. She gave him an apron along with putting on herself. As she struggled to put it on Loki gave her a helping hand and tied the back for her. 
She turned around and gave him a quick thumbs up to which he smiled back. 
The two were going to cook a few things together for a party she was organizing for the Blue Lock boys. There were going to be cookies, cakes, and a variety of other candies and baked goods. And she told her guests to wear some sort of costume to the party. 
Just in time the food and baked goods were done cooking. {Y/n} and Loki took everything to the venue Ego rented out for them. 
"Again I can't stress this enough thank you for your help, Loki," {Y/n} didn’t look at the male. Good thing because when she felt hands wrap around her body the redness on her face spread. 
"No problem. Happy to help," a small smile on Loki's face. He reached for {Y/n}'s waist pulling her in for a hug. 
At that moment he didn't even realize what he was doing, his brain, more like his heart took over. It took him a while to let go, even then he didn't want to. 
"Hey {Y/n}." 
The female shook her head and she felt hands glide off her body. "Oh hi, Kunigami!"
He whispered something in the female's ear. Then it was time he took his leave home. 
Again she was stumped by his words. 
Kunigami walked over to {Y/n}. The female looked him up and down seeing him in a costume, though she could figure out what it was. “So, what are supposed to be Kunigami?” His outfit consists of an arrow that seems to be going through his chest. Red hearts all around it, along with a white shirt and white dress pants. 
“That’s for you to figure out.” He leaned on the table with a smirk on his face. “Then what are you supposed to be? Lazy {Y/n}?” 
The female stopped for a second, {Y/n} realized she wasn’t in costume. “Right, be right back, Kuni!” Without a second thought, she grabbed her bag and ran into the bathroom. 
‘Damit, Damit! Where is it’ She rummaged through her bag trying to find her makeup for the outfit, and her results were not great. Finally after almost what felt like ages she found her pink makeup. 
After she was done applying it, {Y/n} got in her skin color base outfit. Putting on a white corset with ruffles on top, and a white skirt to match. For the accessories, it was a red pair of wings, a necklace with a heart-shaped charm, another bracelet with hearts all over it, and finally a bow and arrow that had a heart-shaped point. 
For her hair, {Y/n} simply did a red ribbon as the tie. And shoes were red heels and white knee-high socks. 
With a few finishing touches she left the bathroom. When she walked out she was greeted with more people that she assumed had just arrived. Her [h/c]-eyes first fell on a pair of teal ones that seemed to be looking aggressively at her. 
{Y/n} walked over to him and she didn’t notice how fast Rin grabbed her and pulled her away into the crowd. 
“Ow, what the fuck, Rin!” She whined letting the male go. 
“Why is Sae here? You told me only the “Blue Lock boys” yet he is here.” Rin wasn’t really mad at the girl, but rather annoyed. It would be easy to take her away from anyone so he could have her. But since Sae was here, that would make it a little harder. Especially since all eyes will be on her tonight, whether looks up and down in good or bad ways.
“I didn’t want to leave him out. You know?” She shrugged her shoulders having no clue what to say. She wasn’t wrong but there was something in her telling to invite Sae, so she listened and sent him an invitation. 
“No I don’t know, {Y/n}.” He sighed seeing in the near future there was no way he could agree with her. 
She walked away though she didn’t get very far when she was dragged yet again, this time by a few people. 
“I like your costume, {Y/n}.” A go-lucky voice spoke. With a bright smile on his voice.
“And of yours isn’t better Bachira. A cute little bumble bee.” {Y/n} boobed his nose, a smile of satisfaction on her face. She looked over to Isagi a little confused as to what he was wearing. “And you Yoi? What are you?”
He was a little flustered not sure what to ay. 
Since everyone knew what {Y/n} was going to dress up as, a cute cupid, some people decided to match her without telling her. The people consist of: Kunigami, Isagi, Reo, and Hiori. They took different ideas of how they would dress up, but the ultimate goal was to make it seem like they were her arrows. 
“Why don’t you pick the name, {Y/n}. This party was your idea,” He rubbed the back of his neck a sweat bead trickling down his face.
“Fine, I’ll get back to you later. I’m going to talk to a few other people,” {Y/n} waves leaving the two alone. 
Isagi took a breather when he didn’t see the female in his line of sight anymore. It was hard to keep quiet about the costumes. But he had to, if Isagi said anything it could give any their whole plan. 
Back to {Y/n} who was making her way to the snack table. All the delicious treats she and Loki made all laid out in front for everyone to eat. Her mouth was watering at the thought of eating everything. {Y/n} averted her gaze from the table when she heard footsteps coming her way.  Turned around to be met with Pink eyes staring what felt like directly to her soul. The guy was dressed in all red from head to toe, with devil horns on his head. His blond hair which had pink tips was slicked back. 
“I thought you were going to be Spiderman this time?” {Y/n} question tilting her head a little to the right. 
“I am,” Shidou says a smirk on her face as he leans in closer. “But when I say what you were going to wear I changed my mind.” 
The [h/c]-haired didn’t seem too happy about Shidou's decision. She pouted her cheeks and crossed her arms looking away from the boy. 
Shidou didn’t seem to like this attitude of hers. The best thing he could do was pick her up, and pick her up he did. {Y/n} pouted and kicked trying to get him to let go, but let go did he not. Shidou took her to the men’s bathroom, not even the family one, what a shame.
He basically threw her down on the floor. Shidou bent down the her level, “I’m sorry, {Y/n}-chan. If you want me to be Spiderman that bad then I will change.”
{Y/n} nodded her head promising to not whine like a little baby any more than she already has. When Shidou was done changing his costume, he carried {Y/n} out like a princess making up for throwing her over his shoulder earlier. 
The party goes about as normal. Music was playing people talking, people trying to talk with {Y/n} though most of the time Rin kept a good few away. Though {Y/n} did keep a safe distance from Sae. 
Near the end of the party {Y/n} was going to announce the winners for the costume poll. 
“We have 4 winners–” She was stumped when reading the card Hikaru had prepared (he was also in on the costumes). She shook her head and read the rest, “We have 4 winners with us tonight.”
“4th place Hiori Yo.” He walked up by her and was given a headpat.
“3rd place Kunigami Rensuke.” He walked up to her and was given a small piece of paper that wrote “Get out for free with me ;)”
“2nd plce Isagi Yoichi.” Again he walked up and was given a small hug that meant dearly to him.
“And in first place we have… Mikage Reo!” He walked up by her, he got the most off all a small kiss on the cheek by your truly {Y/n}.
“She faced the 4 boys confused by their costumes. Then it clicked. “Wait, are you four supposed to be my arrows?”
Reo chucked, “Yes we are. We planned it when we saw you posted your costume on Instagram. You had four arrows and we thought it would be a great and funny way to mess with you.”
“Fuck you all. I’ll get you all your real gifts to you later.”

Bad Decisions
Tumblr media
♫ Hiori Yo x f! reader
♫ Warning: Angst
♫ Extras: word count. This small story will relate to a Hiori story that is a work and progress and will release on my Wattpad hopefully by the end of this month. (Think of this like a trailer) (Requests are open)
♫ In which you and Hiori make the biggest mistake
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A tear fell down the woman's cheek, she bite her lower lip quivering as she was afraid if she let go more tears would stream down her face.
Hiori was yelling at her just letting his thoughts come out to words, "I know that you are aware of our situation. You cannot keep pressing this only because you don't want to ruin your reputation!"
{Y/n} stood there wanting to say something, but she felt like if she would talk then more tears would stream down her face.
"{Y/n}! Tell me. I know you know it too, we are drifting apart," Hiori's voice calmed down but she could hear in his shaking voice.
"Please. Please don't say that, babe. It is really breaking me," More tears fall down her eyes, her voice barely audible.
"You've been breaking this relationship. Even since we've said announced our married, it's felt like you have been forcing us to be together." The brim of Hioris's eyes began to water as he wiped it away.
{Y/n} stood there not finding the right words to say, she tried to utter something but no words came out. Salty tears flowed down her cheeks as she fell to the ground.
Hiori took a heavy sigh before walking out the door. He turned back to her before leaving, "Don't expect me to come back soon, {Y/n}." He slammed the door walking out to his car.
He looked at his left hand and took off his wedding ring putting it in the cup holder. He hit his steering wheel leaning back in the seat. "Maybe this was all a bad decision."

writing about hiori is so soothing. maybe it's because i have a bias for underrated characters but i do like the "nice polite guys". i think there's so much more to know about them.
that's why i'm so grateful that the manga's showing more about the characters and i even bought the egoist bible just to get in the zone. the blue lock hyperfixation is real, people 😅
breaking the internet
Tumblr media
chapter one after Bastard München's third loss, Hiori Yo finds a spark of hope in a warm, unexpected article by a cute keen-eyed journalist blue lock longfic series pairing hiori yo x reader contains slow slow slow burn, post blue lock timeskip, afab!reader angst, fluff, very hiori yo centric piece masterlist
Tumblr media
The locker room was thick with tension, the air heavy with the aftermath of another brutal defeat. Bastard München had just lost to Manshine City — the team considered the weakest in the league this season. It was their third consecutive loss and their unexpected poor performance has become the shock story of the season kickoff. They’d barely left the field but everyone can already hear the criticism in their heads, each biting comment more brutal than the last. 
Isagi Yoichi, usually one of the level-headed players during these times of turmoil, lets out a frustrated groan as he tosses his sweat-soaked jersey into his locker.
“Can’t believe we lost again to Reo and Nagi, of all people.” he muttered, his voice laced with irritation. 
“God, I wanna wipe that smug look on Chigiri’s pretty face. So annoying.” Even Kunigami himself can’t contain the disappointment he was feeling. 
Murmurs of frustration filled the locker room, with each player coming to terms with the loss in their own way. Some stared blankly at the floor, others punched the lockers. But Hiori Yo, the team’s offensive midfielder, sat apart from them quietly in a corner. 
His sunken eyes are glued to his tablet, focused on the screen before him. He’s replaying some of the match’s most critical moments, engrossed with dissecting their performance. The heavy feeling of frustration that sat at the bottom of his stomach only made him more fixated in figuring out what they’re doing wrong.
They didn’t play badly per se; they were just simply scattered, struggling to navigate the field without a commanding anchor like Michael Kaiser.
And it’s not like Manshine City outplayed them. They were only able to exploit those gaps between the seams in both Bastard Munchen’s offense and defense, allowing them to snatch their first victory of the season.
He sighs as he watches Nagi Seishirou effortlessly slip past them and score Manshine City’s winning goal just before the buzzer goes off.
The post-match debrief followed quickly. Coach Noel Noa entered the room, trailed closely by the team’s manager. The debrief was short and direct. Nothing that the players don’t know about. At this point, all they can do is let this pass and allow this frustration fuel them to do better and win the next match.
“This loss will sting. And the critics will only make it worse. They’ll amplify everything that went wrong.” Coach Noa’s voice was firm but calm as he warned. 
“I’m not going to sugarcoat, it will be brutal. But remember, it’s a long season. Don’t let the noise get to you.”
Later that evening, Hiori returned to his apartment. Instead of diving right into the new Souls game he bought, he threw his duffel bag on his bed before sinking onto his couch. He pulled out his phone, deciding to “ego-surf” a bit.
Usually, he won’t scroll through the comments after a loss, knowing how unforgiving fans can be. And him being one of the more reserved players made him an easy target, with critics often pointing out the lack of “fire” in him compared to his fellow Blue Lock graduates.
But curiosity got the best of him tonight. He scrolled through the headlines, wincing at the relentless criticism pouring in. 
“Is Bastard München all bark and no bite without superstar Michael Kaiser?”
“Noel Noa: Greatest striker of all time, wasted on Bastard München’s bench.”
“Blue Lock graduates fail to hold down the fort, leaving Bastard München struggling to fill Kaiser’s shoes.”
Some articles accused the team of riding on Kaiser’s coattails, while others declared that Bastard München had drawn the short stick from the Blue Lock project, forced to settle for “nobodies.”
Before he can continue, his phone vibrates to life with a message notification from his mom. And like clockwork, another message comes in from his dad. Despite being divorced, they’re still scarily in sync. For all the wrong reasons. 
Bracing himself for yet another round of thinly-veiled criticism, Hiori opens his father’s message:
“Yo-kun, I saw your game. Hopefully your team can bounce back. You know, if you’d just put in the extra effort and stay focused, you could be the person Bastard München needs. I know you have it in you—just need to take it seriously.”
The words are meant to sound encouraging, but the expectation and judgment beneath them is all too familiar. 
Then, another message pings from his mom. This time, there’s no critique or pressure. Instead, she’s sent a link to an article titled “Don’t Count Out Bastard München Yet—The Brains Behind Their Strategy Are Just Coming Into Focus,” along with a simple note:
“Hi Yo-kun, I hope you’ve had dinner. Thought this might make you feel a bit better.”
At least one of them is trying, despite their strained family dynamic.
He re-reads the article title. 
"'Brains'? Whaddya mean by that?", he mutters to himself.
Even if Bastard München is known for its calculated approach, there wasn’t much strategy happening on the field lately—or at least not for most players. Curious, Hiori clicks the link and begins to read.
Don’t Count Out Bastard München Yet—The Brains Behind Their Strategy Are Just Coming Into Focus by Y/N L/N With the recent departure of Michael Kaiser, Bastard München’s superstar and core playmaker, the team faces an uphill battle. Kaiser's absence has left a gaping hole in their strategy and a noticeable lack of offensive cohesion. After three consecutive losses, including a shocking defeat against Manshine City—the lowest-ranked team last season—it's evident how much the Bastards are struggling to recalibrate. But while the setbacks are significant, it may be too soon to write off Bastard München entirely. Their performance against Manshine City, despite the loss, showed promise. The team is experimenting with new plays that fit their overall style and individual strengths. To long-time fans, these changes might seem futile, but there’s a method to the madness. For instance, the decision to use Kunigami Rensuke and Yukimiya Kenyu as the main strikers might seem unusual at first. In hindsight, it allows Alexis Ness and Isagi Yoichi to create more scoring options while still playing to each player's strengths. This strategy leverages Isagi and Ness’ unpredictability, while maximizing the straightforward power of Kunigami and Yukimiya.  Additionally, their midfield defense and offense remain strong, with Benedict Grim and Hiori Yo commanding the center. They provide support and drive plays, utilizing players like Kiyora Jin, and Raichi Jingo to full effect. This demonstrates the potential of the new Bastard München. Even without Kaiser, the team has the makings of a powerhouse. And this isn’t the first time the team has faced adversity, nor will it be the last. Last season, despite a critical injury to the Magician, Alexis Ness, they fought their way to the semifinals, proving that resilience is embedded in the team’s DNA. Coach Noel Noa, a world-class striker turned coach, has also acknowledged the challenges ahead. His expertise remains a pillar for the team, alongside long standing veterans like Mensah and Erik Geisner, who provide stability. However, the real responsibility for filling the void left by Kaiser’s raw power and impact now falls on the team’s ‘brains’—Coach Noa, Ness, and perhaps most intriguingly, midfielder Hiori Yo. Hiori Yo may not be the most flashy player on the roster, but his subtle playmaking has become an essential part of Bastard München's strategy. Both Kaiser and Noa have recognized Hiori’s value, crediting him numerous times during key victories. “His role as midfielder may not grab headlines, but his precision, strategic thinking and game sense provide the grounding force the team needs” Coach Noel Noa mentions before during an interview mid season last year, after winning a do-or die match against Ubers. Thus, this could be a transformative season for Bastard München.  For those quick to count them out, this season might just reveal a new side of Bastard München. The team’s resilience, adaptability, and strategic evolution could turn the tide, especially with emerging playmakers laying a strong foundation. As they face the challenges ahead, fans may witness a more mature, tactically sophisticated version of the Bastards that proves they’re far from finished.
The journalist (Y/N) didn’t hold back, addressing Bastard München’s weaknesses head-on. Furthermore, you highlighted how the team could lean into a more dynamic strategy, blending the flashy, ego-driven style that fans loved with a more calculated approach—a style that Hiori himself had been quietly cultivating. 
For the first time, it felt like someone truly saw his potential, his value beyond just raw skill or charisma. You acknowledged him as a player who might not command the spotlight but who laid the groundwork, providing the strategic foundation the team needed.
As he reached the article’s end, Hiori felt a strange warmth settle over him. It wasn’t praise, exactly, but it was understanding or validation, something he rarely received. On a whim, he looks you up on Winstagram, curious about the person behind the words.
Your profile was as intriguing as your article. Your feed was a hodgepodge of your life. There are photos from tournaments, interviews with other athletes, and even a few posts about your favorite manga series. You're all over the place and rough around the edges but seemed very passionate by the way you wrote about the things in your life.
A photo of you with a 2B cosplayer catches his eye. You're shyly forming a heart with the cosplayer’s hand, your face flushed as you tries to smile.
“Huh, well aint’cha cute.” he says out loud, before bookmarking your profile. For the first time in weeks, Hiori found himself smiling, feeling an unexpected spark of optimism.
He shares your article to the Bastard München group chat with a simple comment: “At least one person ain't giving up on us.” As the chat notifications pinged with his teammates’ responses, Hiori leaned back, allowing himself to savor this small moment of encouragement.
 For now, it was enough.

author's notes: phew! so how was it? i know it's bit long but i want to bring out hiori's charm, focusing on his character and growth, while showing the effect of reader journalist's role in his life, both as professionals and as love interests. it's a bit on the serious side of things (with tooth rotting romance still), it might not be everyone's cup of tea but hopefully this grows onto you. if you have any questions or requests, feel free to send me an ask! i'm planning on writing drabbles and light hearted fics for other bllk characters including hiori ofc some time this month!

chapter one after Bastard München's third loss, Hiori Yo finds a spark of hope in a warm, unexpected article by a cute keen-eyed journalist blue lock longfic series pairing hiori yo x reader contains slow slow slow burn, post blue lock timeskip, afab!reader angst, fluff, very hiori yo centric piece masterlist
Tumblr media
The locker room was thick with tension, the air heavy with the aftermath of another brutal defeat. Bastard München had just lost to Manshine City — the team considered the weakest in the league this season. It was their third consecutive loss and their unexpected poor performance has become the shock story of the season kickoff. They’d barely left the field but everyone can already hear the criticism in their heads, each biting comment more brutal than the last. 
Isagi Yoichi, usually one of the level-headed players during these times of turmoil, lets out a frustrated groan as he tosses his sweat-soaked jersey into his locker.
“Can’t believe we lost again to Reo and Nagi, of all people.” he muttered, his voice laced with irritation. 
“God, I wanna wipe that smug look on Chigiri’s pretty face. So annoying.” Even Kunigami himself can’t contain the disappointment he was feeling. 
Murmurs of frustration filled the locker room, with each player coming to terms with the loss in their own way. Some stared blankly at the floor, others punched the lockers. But Hiori Yo, the team’s offensive midfielder, sat apart from them quietly in a corner. 
His sunken eyes are glued to his tablet, focused on the screen before him. He’s replaying some of the match’s most critical moments, engrossed with dissecting their performance. The heavy feeling of frustration that sat at the bottom of his stomach only made him more fixated in figuring out what they’re doing wrong.
They didn’t play badly per se; they were just simply scattered, struggling to navigate the field without a commanding anchor like Michael Kaiser.
And it’s not like Manshine City outplayed them. They were only able to exploit those gaps between the seams in both Bastard Munchen’s offense and defense, allowing them to snatch their first victory of the season.
He sighs as he watches Nagi Seishirou effortlessly slip past them and score Manshine City’s winning goal just before the buzzer goes off.
The post-match debrief followed quickly. Coach Noel Noa entered the room, trailed closely by the team’s manager. The debrief was short and direct. Nothing that the players don’t know about. At this point, all they can do is let this pass and allow this frustration fuel them to do better and win the next match.
“This loss will sting. And the critics will only make it worse. They’ll amplify everything that went wrong.” Coach Noa’s voice was firm but calm as he warned. 
“I’m not going to sugarcoat, it will be brutal. But remember, it’s a long season. Don’t let the noise get to you.”
Later that evening, Hiori returned to his apartment. Instead of diving right into the new Souls game he bought, he threw his duffel bag on his bed before sinking onto his couch. He pulled out his phone, deciding to “ego-surf” a bit.
Usually, he won’t scroll through the comments after a loss, knowing how unforgiving fans can be. And him being one of the more reserved players made him an easy target, with critics often pointing out the lack of “fire” in him compared to his fellow Blue Lock graduates.
But curiosity got the best of him tonight. He scrolled through the headlines, wincing at the relentless criticism pouring in. 
“Is Bastard München all bark and no bite without superstar Michael Kaiser?”
“Noel Noa: Greatest striker of all time, wasted on Bastard München’s bench.”
“Blue Lock graduates fail to hold down the fort, leaving Bastard München struggling to fill Kaiser’s shoes.”
Some articles accused the team of riding on Kaiser’s coattails, while others declared that Bastard München had drawn the short stick from the Blue Lock project, forced to settle for “nobodies.”
Before he can continue, his phone vibrates to life with a message notification from his mom. And like clockwork, another message comes in from his dad. Despite being divorced, they’re still scarily in sync. For all the wrong reasons.

Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS
Hiori Yo may be one of Bastard München’s most technically gifted players, but he’s hardly the most popular. Stoic, soft-spoken, and an unapologetic introvert, Hiori’s tactical and supportive play style tends to get overshadowed by his flashier, extroverted teammates. Fame was never his goal—until, unexpectedly, it finds him.
When a mid-season slump raises doubts about the team’s future, an insightful article by an up-and-coming sports journalist shines a new light on his understated brilliance and strategic approach. Her piece goes viral, drawing fresh interest in both the team and Hiori, and challenges the flashy “egoist” narrative with a deeper look at his impact.
As her articles captivate fans and bring unexpected attention to Hiori, their interactions both on and off the field spark a fan-fueled fascination. Their chemistry is undeniable, to say the least, and Bastard München’s marketing team jumps on the opportunity of pairing them in official content. 
What begins as a mere marketing tactic quickly becomes more personal. As their chemistry continues to captivate fans, Hiori finds it harder and harder to ignore the person who believed in him before anyone else did. He wants her to keep watching him, to see the player he’s becoming — and for the first time, he doesn’t mind the attention.
And maybe, just maybe, he’s not the only one getting caught up in the unexpected connection under the eyes of the world who’s watching, waiting and hoping for something more.
