thinking about kevin day’s relationship to fans
thinking about kevin being raised as an exy prodigy, shocked and awed by how many people seem to really care about him
thinking about the first time a stranger tried to grab onto kevin out in public for a photo, for an autograph, for a chance to talk to the son of exy
thinking about kevin finding comfort in the reactions to him joining the raven’s line officially
thinking about the first headline kevin read after he escaped the nest
thinking about kevin unable to prevent his own heartbreak over how quickly they turn on him
thinking about the booing, the glaring, the insults kevin fields as he steps onto the court for the championship
thinking about the moment kevin scores the winning goal, the moment of pure silence as everyone stares at the scoreboard, broken only by riko’s scream
thinking about kevin advocating for his own privacy for the rest of his life, citing the danger of public pressure on the mental health of athletes
thinking of kevin coming to terms with how he is considered property by more than just the moriyamas, but still mourning the moments of pride, of validation, of genuine care he felt as a child from strangers screaming his name
#for a boy who lost his mother at such a young age#thrown into the lion pit of obsession and perfection and abuse#the first moment kevin realized someone else loved him#even in a parasocial way!#he definitely downplays any sort of intense or scary fan interaction he had growing up#and struggles to maintain those boundaries without just turning into a shut in#kevin day#aftg
