Reboot - Part 1: Memories of Exhausting Enhancement

Synergy yawned and scratched his butt.

“Thanks dude!” His duplicate said with a thumbs up before fading away in a halo of light. He checked the time, seeing it was about noon, his preferred wake-up time when school wasn’t in session. As he walked into the living room, he noticed Aura Palm on the couch, papers strewn over the coffee table and some sort of video on the TV. He looked down at Aura Palm, curious.”

“Hey man, what’s going on.”

“Going over notes from quirk enhancement training,” he said, shuffling some more papers and marking something off. Synergy strained his eyes and couldn’t read it.

“Quirk enhanchment training?”

“Yeah, you know, we take a bunch of students, expose them to training and stimuli that’ll help improve their quirk use in some bodily way…or so I’m told, was mainly a lot of kids yelling and trying not to vomit.”

“That sounds amazing, move over!” Synergy leapt onto the couch with a flash, splitting into about three duplicates of himself and filling the couch.

He turned up the volume.

Synergy let out a whistle as the footage finished and looped around again. “Whoof, well, that was some wild shit,” He reclined in the chair, light shinning in from their balcony door. Synergy blinked a few times and got up to close the blinds. “I mean, let’s hope it helped them in the long run.”

“Yeah,” Aura Palm said getting up from the couch. “They’re going to need it.

Synergy stopped and turned.

“What do you mean-“

Aura Palm was gone.

Things You Said at the Top of Your Lungs

The Things You Say on Ao3

“Super Magic Fun Time Land!” shouted Hinata as soon as they piled into the van.

“Super Magic Fun Time Land!” shouted Yuu.

“Super Magic Fun Time Land!” shouted Yuu, Hinata, and Nariko all together. Yuu could see Suga laughing in the front seat while Daichi turned around to glare at them all.

“If one more person shouts back there, I will personally ensure you never see the inside of that park. Do you understand me?”

“Super Magic Fun Time Land,” whispered Yuu. Daichi’s eyes crinkled around the edges like he was trying not to smile, and he turned back around suspiciously quickly.

The drive to the park was every bit as rambunctious as Yuu had expected, and long. By the end of it, he was almost hoarse with laughing and his cheeks hurt with smiling and making Nariko smile. They pulled into a parking lot at last and Yuu piled out with the others. He took Nariko’s hand while Hinata took the other, and together they set off toward the gate.

“Okay,” Suga called. “What do we want to go on first?” Tanaka pointed at the roller coaster near the entrance, towering so high Yuu was sure there were clouds caught on its peak. “Oh, you are so on,” Suga said.

“Nari-chan, do you want to go on the train with me?” Hinata asked. Yuu looked down to find Nariko looking at the roller coaster nervously. “I’m a bit scared of the roller coaster,” Hinata said conspiratorially.

“I’m glad you said something, Shouyou,” Yuu said. “I was a bit scared, too.”

“I’ll go with you, Papas,” Nariko said sweetly. Yuu could read the relief on her face like a book.

“Okay, let’s go then,” he said. Hinata ran off to tell the others where they were going, and they all set off together toward the kiddy train station on the other side of the walkway.

The day was long and filled with fun and adventure, and by the time it was over Yuu was glad to see the sun going down. He rode on the ferris wheel next to Nariko with Hinata sitting across from him, all three of them exhausted. As they reached the top of the world, Hinata sighed.

“We’re only going to get so many days like this,” he said softly. “She’s growing up so fast.”

“We’ve still got plenty of time, Shouyou,” Yuu said softly. “You have to enjoy what you have now, and not worry about when you’re going to lose it.” Hinata nodded and climbed out of his seat, kneeling in front of Yuu. He took Yuu’s hand in both of his own and brought it to his lips.

“I love you,” he whispered.

“I love you too,” Yuu whispered back.

“I LOVE YOU TOO, PAPA,” shouted Nariko. Yuu smiled.

“I love Nari-chan!” he yelled. Shouyou beamed, and it seemed the sun hadn’t gone down after all. The ride came to an end, and Yuu hefted Nariko onto his shoulders, walking toward the park exit where the rest of their family was waiting for them.

A hurty fill today for @sportsanimeolympics.

Azumane Asahi/Nishinoya Yuu, Azumane Asahi/Sugawara Koushi

Prompt:

"If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me."

—W. H. Auden, "The More Loving One"

There’s something about Asahi that draws you in, almost magnetic. He’s gorgeous, and kind, and, once you get to know him a little better, full of sass. Yuu had liked him instantly from the first time they’d met, and those feelings had only gotten stronger as time went on. Asahi was everything that Yuu would want in a boyfriend, smart and sweet and always looking out for others. By the time he came to terms with the realization, though, it was nearly the end of the year, and exams and final matches took all their focus. He’d barely passed his finals, and they’d failed to get to Nationals, and the toll that took on him was a little harder than he’d expected.

Then summer comes, and Yuu gets sent off to visit his aunt, where he spends the entire break helping in her shop on the beach and entertaining his younger cousins. There’s two his age as well, though they disappear during the day to do odd jobs around town instead of at the beach. He shares a room with Hiroshi, who snores something terrible, and Nariko, whose room has been taken over for the summer by another of Yuu’s aunts and her new baby. They stay up comparing school life together, and they spend more than one night teasing Yuu about his crush after they finally drag it out of him.

On the last night before he goes back home, Nariko uses her height to ambush him, and promptly sits on him until he promises them both that he’ll do something about his crush when he gets back to school. Hiroshi laughs and helps him set up the futons, and then crawls into his own bed sleepily, ready to get back to his normal schedule. It takes Yuu a while to fall asleep, but when he does it’s with the resolve of confessing to Asahi as soon as possible.

That plan gets thoroughly derailed when he arrives at practice bright and early the first day of school. He thinks the grounds are empty aside from himself, and then he hears a low, familiar laugh and Yuu turns the corner to find Asahi leaning up against the wall leading to the clubroom. He almost blurts out his confession in lieu of a greeting in a twist of nerves when he notices that Asahi’s not alone. It gives him enough of a pause that he manages to stop himself, just in time to see Suga reach up on tiptoe to kiss Asahi softly.

He retreats silently, but the image is already burned into his brain, how sweet they looked, how Asahi had gazed down at Suga as they separated, expression fond. How Suga had smiled back and said something that made Asahi laugh again. Then Yuu is around the corner, leaning against the wall and wondering if he can get away with sneaking home and calling in sick instead. He can’t, he knows his mother would be unhappy, and either way Tanaka shows up only a few minutes later, when Yuu is halfway back across the grounds.

Asahi and Suga are actually in the clubroom when they arrive, changing for practice, like nothing is out of the ordinary, and Yuu and Tanaka join them. Practice is livelier than ever with their new first years, but Yuu is distracted more by the way that Asahi and Suga practice together. They’re even more friendly than they were before, more touchy, and they stand and poke at each other during a break, trying to make the other laugh. Yuu misses more than one easy receive, and he curses internally when Daichi asks if he’s not feeling well.

All the third years’ attention is on him then, and Yuu has to try a little harder to keep himself together when Asahi asks him if he needs to go home for the day. Suga expresses concern too, mentioning how Yuu looks tired still, suggesting that if he doesn’t want to go home maybe he should sit for a bit. It makes it hard, because Yuu can’t find any reason why Asahi would want to choose him over Suga. Suga is nice, and he’s a good match for Asahi, he proves that well enough.

Yuu takes a seat on the bench and watches them take back to the court, and just for a moment he allows himself to be upset. He supposes that if one of them had to fall for the other with no hopes of reciprocation, he’s glad it was him and not Asahi. Asahi deserves all the love in the world, and he’s glad that Asahi has someone, even if that someone isn’t him.

Nishinoya’s story Chapter One: Frozen Treat Friends

So this is a tryout for the official format of the stories on this blog. The OC remains, but the readers will take her skin, therefore I will write using the ‘you’ pronoun. The poll for the possible answers will be at the end of the chapter, on this very post. Enjoy!

A comfortable exhaustion rested on your shoulders as you pulled your school bag on them. The sun would have set down by the time you would reach your house, but you were used to it. Even though all of the members of the dance troupe were tired, it felt as if all of their voices were chirping happily. Your choreographies were taking form and you were steadily progressing as planned. Even you, who was usually withdrawn, was caught in the energy of the moment, a genuine smile present on your face.

The energy was spread even outside of the club room. The members took the way to their house, separating into little groups. By that time, everyone had grown comfortable around each other and nobody was left behind. Yoichi Harui and Hara Nariko, two first-years, were walking with you. Both of them were already taller than your petite self. You didn’t really mind, though. It was your trademark feature, after all. Those short walks home almost every night with your juniors had made you build a bond with the both of them, which you were proud of as you weren’t really known as “the social senpai”. The title was easily handed to your best friend instead.

Turning the corner of the building, you came to face the other sports teams that had also just left their club rooms. You could hear your two friends starting to whisper things to each other, but your attention was focused on the boys’ volleyball team.

“Noya-san! She’s right behind you…” Tanaka whispered in his ear.

The libero’s heart nearly skipped a beat as he heard that, mechanically turning his head around to see you and your fellow dance troupe members.

“Go say hi,” Ennoshita encouraged him.

“But… I’m all sweaty,” he tried to protest.

“She’s just as sweaty as you, moron! Come on, it won’t kill you,” the shaven-headed spiker pushed him in your direction.

He was projected right in front of you. Even though you had been talking every day in class for more than a week now, he was still nervous around you. To be honest, he was intimidated by the fact he thought you were adorable, even with that neutral expression of yours. He had learned that it didn’t mean you didn’t like him, just that you were uncomfortable. However, this time around, he had managed to make you gasp by appearing so suddenly.

“Nishinoya-san, don’t surprise me like that,” you said, letting out a small laughter after realising it was him.

“Sorry, Oumae-san! I didn’t want to surprise you! I just… wanted to…”

He could hear the rest of his team chuckle and snicker behind his back. He had to do something, or else he would totally lose his credibility.

“Oumae-san, do you want to walk home with me? We can stop to buy something to eat,” he let out in one breath. Since he had learned you lived only a few blocks away from his house, he had wanted the opportunity to walk home with you.

Surprised at the offer, but slightly pleased, you looked around. Hara and Yoichi raised a brow you, amused. The volleyball team was already preparing to humiliate their libero in case of a failure.

“O-of course, I’ll gladly accept,” you answered, your cheeks turning pink as you turned around to face your friends. “If you don’t mind, girls…”

“Who knew Oumae-senpai was popular with guys,” snickered Hara as she walked passed both of you. It was enough to make Aya look away, embarrassed.

“See you soon, Oumae-senpai!” Yoichi told you, a meaningful smirk on her face.

The rest of the volleyball team had also started focusing on something else when they realised Nishinoya had received a positive answer. For an instant, he and you starred at each other in silence, both trapped by your respective shyness. Yuu’s flustered expression was clearly visible as he didn’t know what to do.

“So… let’s go?” he asked, breaking the silence. You nodded and started walking away from the school grounds, waiting for him to follow you.

Being completely honest with yourself, you knew you had only accepted his offer because of all the pressure put around it… and because Asuka would have killed you for refusing if she ever heard of it, which was most likely. Besides, you would have felt bad for letting Nishinoya embarrass himself in front of his whole team. Still, your confidence about this improvised hang-out was pretty thin. You were sweaty and tired, and all you wanted to do was to go home. At least, Yuu never ceased to give you energy when you were by his side, even though you had know each other for so little time.

“So… how’s practice doing, Nishinoya-san?” you finally asked him, breaking the silence.

“Pretty good!” he replied. “We’re pretty pumped up for the inter-high… We also have a coach now!” His grin had slowly come back on his face as he was recovering from his moment of embarrassment. Talking about volleyball did well on him, even you had noticed. It had become your go-to subject if you didn’t know what to talk about anymore.

“This is great news!” You returned his smile, though nobody’s could ever wish to be as beaming as his.

“How about the dance troupe?”

“We’re doing great as well, but we’re so nervous about our first competition. It’s a friendly one between some of the schools in the prefecture, but I’m still pretty stressed out because I’m in the front lineup for both of our choreographies.”

“You shouldn’t worry about that! I only saw you once, but you have a lot of talent!” he complimented you. The words had spilled out of his mouth almost by themselves. His shoulders tensed up, nervous of your reaction.

“Thank you, Nishinoya-san.” An urge to change the subject took you. Compliments had never made you very comfortable, especially coming from acquaintances. You could feel your cheeks getting rosy already. “I should come and see you play volleyball, sometime…” you added, hoping it would effectively shift the attention back to him.

On your behalf, the short guy’s eyes lit up. He was honored of your interest.

“Yes! You should definitely come and see us, Oumae-san! Even if it’s just a practice match! There will be one soon!”

“Oh… I don’t want to be a bother…”

“You won’t be a bother at all! In fact, I’ll try to save twice as more balls since you’ll be there!” Even after so little time, you knew the determined look in his eyes meant that he was completely serious about what he had just said.

That was how you ended up in front of the Sakanoshita store. Your eyes met for a moment.

“Hey, Oumae-san! Let’s buy popsicles!”

“Uh… sure…” You were taken aback by his suggestion. Still, you followed him inside the store, where he skipped to the freezed-treats section. A big freezer contained many types of ice-cream and other frozen treats.

You watched him pick up a soda-flavored Gari Gari Kun Popsicle, to which you smiled. Leaning down close to him, you picked up the orange-flavored treat of the same brand.

“Gari Gari Kun are my favorite as well, but I like orange more,” you commented. He made a face like he had just found his soulmate, in awe.

“You, too? My favorite are the soda-flavored ones, though,” he answered. This minor detail was enough to make him feel closer to you.

It felt like the clouds had lifted from above your heads just because of this simple fact. Your feet felt light as you both paid your treat to a blonde lazy-looking store clerk and left the store.

The moments of silence during the walk didn’t feel as awkward as they were. Otherwise, conversations on teachers, your respective clubs and that class you both hated with passion animated your trip home. Soon, it was time to part ways.

“Good evening, Nishinoya-san,” you told him, looking in his direction, facing the sun in the process. The light was blinding as he appeared to be the one shining. Rays of the falling sun shone in his hair as his brown eyes sparkled. It was a blinding, yet magnificent sight. For a second, you were slightly intimidated by this outstanding sight of him, but you were soon reassured by his boyish grin.

“Good evening, Oumae-san.”

Just as you were about to turn around to start walking alone, he spoke:

“Oumae… I… I feel like we should be friends,” he blurted out, looking away.

Answers:

1.       Um… *blush*

2.       *smiles* Definitely, Nishinoya-kun!

3.       I feel like we should get to know ourselves a little better…

Place your vote in the ask box! Remember to always vote on non-anon and mention what fic you are voting for. Oumae Aya’s (you) answer will be the one with the most votes.

Things I Wish You’d Said

The Things You Say on Ao3

“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husbands and wives.” A great cheer went up around the assembled audience, all their friends and families happy to see them wedded at last. Tears streamed down Tadashi’s face, tears of joy and tears of relief. It was a day years in the making, and it was here at last. Tadashi reached out to his left for the nearest of his brand new spouses, meeting an equally teary Nishinoya for a kiss.

The reception was a cozy affair, tables and chairs set up in their back yard with dinner served by the catering company Suga worked for. Tadashi danced with Yachi and Hinata and Tanaka and all of his spouses, and the word kept ringing through his head. Spouses. Married. They were married now, declared each other’s for ever by the words said by a justice of the peace. Each and every one of the people he loved was his spouse now. It was a heady thing to consider.

Tsukishima stepped up for the next dance, smiling that dorky little smile that meant he was genuinely happy and didn’t care who knew it. Tadashi wrapped his arms around Tsukishima and let the music sweep them away. The world was turned to music and swirling lights as Tadashi danced with his best friend, and then to the piercing light of dawn streaming through the window as he woke and the dream dissolved.

Tadashi just barely made it into the smallest bedroom before he burst into tears.

It was the morning of the wedding, yes, but not for all of them. It was Yachi and Ennoshita’s wedding, the farce they were putting on to appease Ennoshita’s family and to ensure that at least one of them had parental rights over Nariko. There was no legality in Japan for a wedding like theirs would be, and no precedence for it even if the law did allow. Their magical day would never happen.

He didn’t know how long it took before someone found him, but he wasn’t surprised when it was Tsukishima who opened the door. He took one look at Tadashi and closed it the rest of the way, a clear sign to the rest of the family not to interrupt. He crouched down beside Tadashi and wrapped his arms around him without a single word.

Through his tears, Tadashi explained his dream and the crushing hole it had left in his heart. Tsukishima cooed soothingly to him and held him until he had cried himself out. Then he pulled a tissue out of the pack on the dresser and mopped up the mess Tadashi had made of his face.

“If it’s any consolation,” Tsukishima said, “and don’t tell the others this because not even I’m supposed to know, Chikara was going to use today to come out to his family. It’s still only legally Chikara and Hitoka today, but keep your chin up and who knows what will happen.” Tsukishima winked at him, and before Tadashi could ask what he meant by that, he was gone.

Reboot - Part 2: Internships and Invasions

Synergy looked around the empty classroom, confused. It was empty, like no one had been in the desks in months. He was also pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to be here. Why was he-

“Can you wonder a little quieter, I’m working here,” Aura Palm said, more notes in front of him. He chuckled to himself. “The kids have been busy, Chapu is especially coming along well…”

“Oh, those are the internship reports…uh, how’s that going?” Synergy said, getting close to Aura Palm but looking for the exit out of the corner of his eye. He was sitting in the chair across from Aura Palm.

“Take a look.”

Name: Denshō Minato - LoreSight

Quirk: History Lesson

Hero Gear: A blue trench coat, high collar, with yellow highlights and gloves. A hat that hides their third eye until it opens, protecting it in the meantime. Combat cuffs: weighted handcuffs he can use like nun-chucks.

Interned with: Wanted to work with Night Eye but after they…well, you know, he ends up interning with the Wild, Wild Pussycats primarily under Mandalay. He rounds out their group as a much more ‘relaxed’ persona and even gets some cat-ears on his hat for a time.

Name: Nikkō Hachirou - Helioscope

Quirk: Solar Glare

Hero Gear: Black and white tights with curved orange padding, rings simulating sunrays. A rounded helmet that allows them to adjust their brightness and can focus their light into an intense burning laser.

Interned with: X-Less to practice w/ his hero gear’s offensive capabilities (laser) and develop his support skills. Welcomed X-Less’s cautious nature, emphasizing cause and effect. Glad he learned of his death while it was raining, it’s hard for him to see past through his light in-between his tears.

Name: Shōgekiha Nariko - Rumble

Quirk: Concussive Strikes

Hero Gear: Salmon colored leotard with a single gold pauldron and a wrestle championship style belt w/ mask. Reinforced arm bracers to protect her arms from the recoil of her talent in open air.

Interned with: Death Arms to better hone her quirk in more than combat situations. Scolds her often for rash action and over-bravado, but she still appreciates his advice…even if she won’t admit it.

Name: Haiga Umeko - Mekogen

“Uh…uh, AP,” Synergy said his throat dry. “That’s all neat and everything but uh…you kept mentioning heroes dying, and a war. What are you talking about?”

Synergy blinked and AP was now standing near a board. He raised a sword and pointed to the board, no swirling with images and diagrams.

“Heroes and villains. Modern society and a better one. The one raging right now. The one that needs troops, Sundowner.”

“Who the hell is Sundown-Aagh” Synergy felt a sharp pain in his head and tried to duplicate, ready to counterattack. But he found himself alone, clutching his head in an empty classroom.

Synergy looked around, realizing the doors were gone. He turned back to AP, but simply found a similarly empty chalkboard. Wait, no, there were…little shapes on the board, repeating. He crept closer, squinting at the board.

It was him. Tiny little chalk drawn versions of him, marching in perfect tandem.

The board seemed to go one forever, trailing into some impossible space.

“Okay you got me, haha, very funny.”

No response.

“Seriously, it’s great, this is awesome hahaha please let me!”

Silence.

“No…nonononono, let me out! Stop it! I don’t-I don’t want to be alone!”
