In continuation of my half-Nigerian Nebuya headcanons, I have decided to add more headcanons surrounding this.

-I was saying in the last headcanon post that Nebuya would for sure have a Nigerian name that his mother gave him, but at the time, I wasn't sure which name he would have. I decided today that his Nigerian name would be Chukwudi, meaning "there is God" in Igbo. I always felt that if he were to have a name, I'd for sure pick a name that used "chukwu" (meaning "God") because a lot of powerful/profound male Igbo names include "chukwu", and it just seemed to match Nebuya's energy.

-Whenever Nebuya calls family in Nigeria, he lets the others join if they're around. Akashi is the most interested in Nebuya's native language, so between him, Hayama, and Mibuchi, he knows the most Igbo AND Pidgin because Nebuya taught him. It's gotten to the point where Akashi can respond with simple words/sentences to Nebuya's family. He replies to Nebuya's aunts, uncles, and grandparents in Igbo and replies to his cousins in Pidgin. Nebuya's cousins also call Akashi "bossman", which Nebuya thinks is fucking hilarious.

-Speaking of talking to family in Nigeria, most of them will address Nebuya by his Nigerian name, but his cousins made a nickname out of his Japanese given name and call him "Chi Chi". Nebuya hates that nickname because, in Japanese, that nickname is a homonym with "boobs," and he refuses to be associated with that. His cousins don't give a fuck and still call him Chi Chi anyway. Eventually, Hayama picks it up and alternates between calling Nebuya "Ei-chan" and "Chi Chi."

-Nebuya also has a taste for Afro Beats and will blast it on the regular. There are a few artists he has on rotation, too. He probs listens to acts like Wizkid and Burna Boy. Popular classics.

-He can do a few Nigerian dances. Just a lil, though. He's not fond of being the center of attention on the dance floor, but he can do a few steps of something if you ask him to.

-Since Mibuchi likes to cook/bake, Nebuya teaches him a lot of Nigerian recipes. They end up bonding over food and Mibuchi is able to learn a lot about Nebuya's culture.

-Imagine if at some point, Nebuya's parents/other relatives grow so attached to Akashi, Hayama, and Mibuchi that they get sent kaftans of their very own to wear, and Nebuya helps them try them on. That would be so cute to see.

I'm super tired, and my eyes are drooping as I type, so I'll stop here, and if I want to make another part later, I will.

If Rakuzan was supposed to be the Final Boss, explain then why they all so precious babey.

[mayuzumicheerio]

yeah mayuzumi is not for everyone he's brash and prickly but he's never been an asshole to akashi?? he's like the only person who's not giving up on akashi when he's at his lowest while his other teammates were disappointed/shocked by him and even this bitch shirogane couldn't act wise when akashi was def the edge of breaking down. be grateful mayuzumi "complained" while actually he's just knocking some senses into him. mayuzumi just saved akashi from himself and the entire rakuzan from total failure.

[urwendii]

Yeah yeah sex is good etc but have you considered Rakuzan's starting line for their next Winter Cup to be the 3 Uncrowned Kings, Nijimura and Akashi? Yeah that shit is 🥵🥵🥵

[milesmoerales]

(pelle voice) do you feel held by him, chihiro??? does he feel like home to you???????

[miscellaneoustofu]

Finished watching Kuroko no Basket a bit ago and wanted to redesign some of the characters. It’s a really good anime and part of me feels like if it had better character design, it could’ve been more memorable today. Similar to how Haikyuu is.

It started with Akashi bc I felt his design didn’t well convey his royal themes. I know how similar he is to Kuroko is meant to reference how in a previous draft, they were meant to be brothers but I feel the final antagonist of a story should be visually striking. Moreover, if it wasn’t for his smug look, you wouldn’t get the tragic wealthy heir vibe at all so his design fails to communicate his most important feature. To ease into the transition, I like to imagine he keeps his og hair in middle school and starts slicking it back in highschool.

Then the redesign fever infected the rest of Rakuzan bc I was dissatisfied with how, despite their narrative importance, the Uncrowned Kings’ had kinda bland designs. There’s a lot of untapped fun there.

Then I redid all the team jerseys cause I felt Kajo got majorly snubbed. And then I hallucinated better designs and a backstory for Team Jabberwock. And then-

Yeah, really it’s not objectively better maybe but I had fun adding things and making up some headcannons.

Hope you enjoy!

🌹 The Emperor’s Soft Spot 🌸

Pairing : Akashi Seijuro x Gn!Reader

Genre : ☁️

Word count : ~1200

Summary : To the world, Akashi Seijuro is the unyielding Emperor of the court—sharp, commanding , and impossible to defy. But when it comes to you, his girlfriend, all of that melts away, leaving behind a man who is soft, tender, and entirely yours. Witness the duality of Akashi as he balances his stern captain persona with the warmth he only shows to you, featuring stolen kisses and heart-fluttering moments.

TW/CW : None! Just soft fluff and Akashi being a lovestruck boyfriend. 💕

NOTIFICATIONS ꩜ ₊ ⊹! : Expect moments of Akashi being protective of the reader in his unique way.

『••✎••』

The rhythmic sound of sneakers squeaking against the polished gym floor echoed through the massive training hall. Rakuzan’s basketball team was gathered for their evening practice, every member giving their utmost to meet the impossibly high standards set by their captain.

Akashi’s voice, calm but commanding, carried over the court. “I expect precision. If you cannot deliver, there’s no place for you here.”

The intensity in his tone sent a chill through his teammates, who nodded and doubled their efforts. To them, Akashi was the Emperor—a perfectionist who demanded nothing short of excellence.

But to you? He was entirely different.

You stood quietly in the corner of the gym, leaning against the wall with a small smile. He had insisted you come to practice today, something he only did when he was particularly stressed. Seeing you had a way of soothing him, even if he never openly admitted it.

“Y/N,” he called out, his voice softening the instant his gaze landed on you. The sharpness that had been there moments ago melted away like snow under sunlight.

You pushed off the wall and walked toward him, your eyes sparkling with affection. “Are you done terrorizing your team for today?”

His lips twitched into the faintest smile as he stepped closer to you, his hand reaching out to gently take yours. “Discipline, not terrorizing. But yes, we’re almost done.”

Behind him, the team exchanged knowing glances. It was rare to see their captain so unguarded, so human. But they all knew better than to comment.

Akashi’s attention was solely on you now, the tension in his shoulders easing as he looked into your eyes. “Do you mind waiting a little longer? I promise I won’t keep you here all night.”

“Take your time,” you said, squeezing his hand. “I like watching you play.”

His gaze softened further, his lips curving into a small but genuine smile that was reserved for you alone. “Stay close. I’ll finish this quickly.”

You nodded and stepped back to your spot as he returned to his team. His demeanor shifted instantly—back to the calm but unrelenting captain Rakuzan knew and feared.

⋆⭒˚｡⋆༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗

『••✎••』

Later That Evening . . .

The crisp night air was refreshing as the two of you walked side by side down the quiet streets. Akashi’s hand was intertwined with yours, his grip firm yet gentle.

“You didn’t have to stay so long,” he said, glancing at you.

“I wanted to,” you replied, leaning slightly against his shoulder. “I like seeing the real you—the one who’s always so kind to me but still scares the life out of everyone else.”

He chuckled softly, a rare sound that made your heart flutter. “You’re the only one who gets to see this side of me, Y/N. The rest of the world doesn’t deserve it.”

You smiled, looking up at him. “I’m honored, Emperor Akashi.”

He stopped walking, turning to face you fully. “And I’m grateful to have you,” he said, his voice low but filled with sincerity. His free hand reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, his touch lingering for just a moment.

Your cheeks flushed as he leaned down, pressing a feather-light kiss to your forehead. His lips lingered there, as if he wanted to savor the moment.

“Sei…” you murmured, your voice barely above a whisper.

He pulled back just enough to meet your gaze, his crimson and gold eyes shining with warmth. “Yes, love?”

You smiled shyly, feeling your heart race. “Nothing. I just… I love you.”

He tilted his head slightly, a small smirk playing on his lips. “You say that as if I don’t already know.”

Before you could retort, he leaned in and pressed his lips gently against yours. The kiss was slow and tender, filled with the kind of affection he reserved only for you.

When he pulled away, his forehead rested lightly against yours. “I love you too,” he said softly, his voice carrying an intimacy that made your chest tighten with happiness.

The two of you stood there for a moment, wrapped in each other’s presence, the world around you fading into insignificance.

The Next Day

⋆⭒˚｡⋆༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗

『••✎••』

You visited practice again, this time sitting on the bleachers with a book in hand. Akashi’s teammates eyed you nervously, knowing how easily their captain’s mood could shift depending on how you were treated.

One of them finally gathered the courage to ask, “Captain, are you really okay with Y/N being here every day?”

Akashi turned to them, his crimson gaze sharp. “Why wouldn’t I be? She brings out the best in me.”

They all fell silent, nodding quickly before returning to their drills.

From your seat, you couldn’t help but giggle. Akashi glanced your way, a faint smile gracing his lips as he caught your eye.

No matter how hard he was on everyone else, you knew one thing for sure: to him, you would always be the exception.

GOM Headcanon: Confessions

A/N: I had been thinking of how I'd confess to Akashi if he were real and I were the vice president of the student council, and I decided to make a headcanon how the GOM would react when their crush gives them an epic love confession.

"Akashi-senpai, I need to tell you something. I've been in love with you for a long time, and whilst I am know I am not the kind of girl someone of your status would fall for, I frankly stopped caring. I only care about wanting to make you happy and smile every day. I want you to know you deserve someone who loves you for who you are and not for whom your father is, even if it's not me. I just love you so much that it hurts. It hurts to keep it from you. I hate not being able to be honest with you, and I think I'd die if I couldn't confess to you before you graduate."

-You were his favorite girl in the entire student body, being a true friend. During your first year and Reo's final year, the vice-captain of Rakuzan's basketball team basically adopted you as his little sister. Nearly two years had passed since then and Akashi was preparing for his exams. -He did needed a while to process that you actually liked him back, because he had been wondering wether he had been delusional about it. -Akashi smiled warmly at you and asked you if you wanted to go out with him some time, going along with whatever you wished and whenever you wished it. -The two of you began a relationship as he affirmed he had no intention allowing his father to pick him a bride. -His heart melted when you said his heart was worth so much more then a simple transaction, and he confirmed to himself that you were the keeper he had always needed.

"Midorima-san, may I tell you something? I just wanted to say that I think you're the coolest guy at this school. You never allow people to push you around, you never care what they say and you've got such a strong backbone. I think you're truly strong, and not just because you have those mucles that you do and I think it's really attractive. The attitude, I mean, not the muscles though you do have a really nice body…" You rambled on and took a deep breath. "I just wanted to say, that I think I'm falling for you and think you're a really amazing, dependable guy even if you're younger then me."

-You were the senpai Midorima had been crushing on ever since he had enrolled at Shutoku and seeing you act all flustered like an innocent schoolgirl over him, shocked him to his core. -Sure, you were a schoolgirl, but he never expected to see you such a babbling mess. He never realized he had any of the slightest kind of power over you or that you even really cared for him all that much. You were always kind and helpful to everyone, after all. -Midorima said he would like to have your number in response, when he finally could speak. His face was red like a crate of cherry tomatoes, let me tell you. -He texted you as soon as he came home and hoped he hadn't broken some kind of stupid code as he was new to romance. Girls always seemed to speak about a code, at least. -Eventually he arranged a date later that week because it was the day both of your signs occupied the first and second position on the Oh-Asa chart and you giggled thinking he was cute.

"Aomine-kun, I need to tell you that I like you. Like, a lot. You're so cool, especially on the court. Just seeing you gets my heart all fluttered." You placed your hands on your heart, feeling it thump harshly underneath your flesh. There were a thousand things you wanted to say, like how beautiful his eyes were, but you knew Aomine to be a simple guy so you said it as plainly as you could, before you would chase him away by saying something cringy.

-Aomine first stared at your chest, your hands drawing more attention to it as he processed the information, but you knew Aomine could be a pervert so you didn't mind. -He started smirking pretty quickly though, you were a girl he found considerably pretty and he liked your sense of humor so it was great to hear you confess to him. -Aomine decided to ask you out for a date after the upcoming basketball match. -You attended the match and cheered for him, making him actually excited to play. -Afterwards he took you for a victory celebration dinner for just the two of you with the last thing you saw before leaving being a grinning Momoi.

"Murasakibara-kun," you said, drawing the purple haired's attention, "You are as dear to me as salt, and I would like for you to be my boyfriend." It was simple, easily processable for the childish-minded giant and with his love for food you thought the fairy-tale reference was cute and well-suited. Though panic shot through you as you wondered if Murasakibara even knew that folktale considering it wasn't as popular as Cinderella or something. Fingers crossed, I guess?

-Murasakibara might not have heard of the fairytale before, but unlike the King of the tale, Murasakibara was far too aware of the importance of salt and did not take it weirdly. -Murasakibara might have been convinced to go to Yosen partially because the coach was hot, but when it came to the actual students he found you the most attractive and he loved your fruit scented shampoo. -It did not take him long to decide that it wasn't a bad idea to give a relationship with you a shot and he nodded. "Sure." -Offered you a piece of candy as a token of love. -You couldn't stop yourself from cherishing that wrapper. You know, like in the sense of not wanting to wash your hand if it had been kissed by the boy you like. You wanted to remember that moment forever, no matter how simple and easy it had been.

"Kise, I want to tell you something and I hope you take me seriously," you said before taking a deep breath. "I know you probably get like a dozen confessions every day and honestly I wonder if mine is even going to stand out. But I really like you. And not for your looks. Neither for the money you probably make or the talent you have at sports. I like you for who you are. Like the moments you were trying so hard to make Kasamatsu-senpai proud, its like watching a golden retriever and I couldn't help but melt on the inside for a bit. If I'd only have half the devotion you show for the basketball team, I'm pretty sure I'd be the happiest girl in the world. Please be mine."

-The two of you had been partners in school projects often, it was as if luck was on your side to the disappointment of many girls at Kaijo High. So Kise knew you fairly well. -He had honestly fallen for you. Your humor always lifted his spirit and he saw you as a genuine friend. -Kise broke out in a 1000 watt smile, glowing as finally, he had been given the confession of a girl he actually liked. -He accepted your feelings immediately and you were shocked with how quickly he jumped to the occasion. -There were a couple of girls spying on you and you could hear them sob as Kise pulled you close and asked you if you were available for a date this weekend. You could not stop yourself from giggling as Kise rubbed it in their faces that he was only interested in you.

Already saw it on Twitter but WOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD FANART

Akashi Seijūrō birthday countdown ★ J-11 With Hayama Kotarō and Shirogane Eiji

Lineart and flat colors for Rakuzan because i got tired of screentones but i don't have the time to do the shading.

Teiko and Rakuzan's head coaches are related, so I wonder if that's why Eiji Shirogane trusted Akashi for the captain role despite the fact that he was just a 1st year.

CRAZY MIGUEL X KNB RELATIONSHIP CHART !!!

explaining my bonds below...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have a headcanon that Mibuchi does self-care nights every Friday after the week is done, where he'll put on a face mask and watch some sappy romcoms in his room. Sometimes, he'll get Akashi and the other Uncrowned Kings to join him, and, on occasion, he'll even offer to paint their nails. If any of them show up to practice with different color nails after the weekend, no one else on the team mentions a damn thing.

[wsknbfanaccnt]

a headcanon that @sweijuro and I made

Midorima's lucky item is a pretty red haired girl in a dress and he hits up Akashi (because who the fuck else would he hit up)

and so Akashi would have a wig and a dress on, following Midorima around

people around him teasing him that he has a gf and Akashi going along with it to fuck with him

"Yes Taro-chan is my boyfriend~" cue him hugging his arm

Midorima doesn't want to tell the truth that it's just Akashi Seijuro from Rakuzan because he doesn't want to tarnish Akashi's name, but has no idea that Akashi doesn't give a fuck if people know

Takao would recognize him immediately and join in on the fun, teasing Midorima

The rest of the team would be jealous, especially Miyaji who would get jealous and angry but they won't realize it's Akashi

[imalwaysinconfusion]

KEEP EM COMIN YALL I NEED MORE HCs

YOUR HEADCANONS FOR THE RAKUZAN TEAM YOU PUT IN THE TAGS OF THAT ONE POST YOU REBLOGGRD ARE SO INTERESTING, you simply NEEd to do more headcanons for all the Rakuzan members!

IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED THEM 🤧 I have so many different hc for everyone in knb and especially for Rakuzan. Probably my second favourite team. For now here are some for Nebuya and Hayama. The next one will have the rest of the members!!

Nebuya Eikichi

- Like i said before, Nebuya absolutely adores animals, especially cows, specifically the highland cattle. He loves how strong and powerful they are, especially with their horns, yet also how cute looking the can be. It makes him appreciate people who can look deceptively weak yet are much stronger looking than expected.

- His love for animals, farm animals in particular, was due to him frequently visiting the farm his grandparents owned. He would constantly be coming into the country to spend time with them and help with work on the farm which ranged from feeding and grooming the animals. He would spend hours lying in the fields with the animals just dozing around him, baby calf’s would rest in his lap and let him pet them.

- He didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, ostracized because of the colour of his skin, despite the fact he was born in Japan. So when he was on the farm with his grandparents he always felt less lonely with all the animals.

- Nebuya loved animals so much he tried to go vegan, when that was too difficult he tried to be a vegetarian. He lasted longer than when he was a vegan before he gave it up because he loved meat just way too much 🤧but to make up it!

- He works/volunteers at vets. Sometimes even works part time at the groomers that is connected to the veterinary. He loves being around animals, a lot more than people, something that stayed with him since he was a child.

- The only people who have ever seen this side of him was his teammates. The only group of people he genuinely felt close to and even cared for, despite how much he and Reo like to argue with one another. He likes to put the other boy in a headlock, their interactions always remind Nebuya of when he’s with his older brothers.

- Which is one of the reasons why he loves to baby Akashi, when he’s retuned to himself, as he’s the youngest on the team and since Nebuya is the youngest of three brothers he’s always wanted to have someone to look over and be someone they could come to for help. Even though he’s bad at being logical, he will always support someone in what they want the most. (Even if he doesn’t completely understand what their talking about, he likes to act super knowledgeable, Reo calling him out on it all the time)

- His favourite time down activity is…cooking! He can’t bake for shit, somehow always burning any sort of cake, cupcake, brownie or pie. Like cannot bake for the life of him. But when it comes to cooking anything else, he’s the best. Having learnt from his dad who’s the main cook in the house since his mother is great at everything else but cooking. (The last time she cooked they all were in hospital for the week 💀)

- But cooking is something that started off when he was watching his dad in the kitchen, it became their thing to do together. And when Nebuya was old enough his dad allowed him to help with the cooking. It involved into them watching cooking shows together (his favorite show is Gordon Ramsay and he loves copying the insults and using it on people on the team. “Hayama you always surprise me” “woah really! That’s awesome, you know I always strive to being the exceptional and unpredictable” “you surprise me, how shit you are”) so he loves to cook when he’s feeling stressed or just bored.

- Hardcore kpop stan. Like, if he had to choose between never listening to kpop or playing basketball…sorry everyone he can’t betray his girls Red Velvet 😔 you know that one scene of Patrick Bateman listening to music? Yeah that’s Nebuya listening to kpop with the most intense expression ever. Girl groups are his shit. His mother was the one who got him into kpop, it’s something they bond over. Like his father with cooking, with his mother is everything and anything kpop.

Kotaro Hayama

- People think he has ADHD, no, no he’s just jacked all the way 100. There is no in between with him. He could just be chilling, scrolling on his phone and the next thing you know he’s trying to do parkour inside your house out of nowhere. (More times than Akashi can count has he had to replace a priceless vase that had been destroyed by his teammate who decided he wanted to try and jump from the bookcase. He was banned for two weeks before doing it again)

- Because of this misconception people have about him, they’ve tried to use ADHD as an insult. Which Hayama becomes immediately defensive about, because whilst he doesn’t have it. His younger brother Reki does (🤭) He’s gotten in trouble for starting fights, but because he’s teammates with Akashi he doesn’t ever get detention (something about the Akashi family being secret Yakuza members or whatever) But Hayama is a big protector to those he loves, so he tolerates no bad mouthing or people using disabilities as an insult.

- Gymnastic Hayama. When he was younger, his parents wanted something to have him run all his energy out on, and they tried EVERYTHING. Like they had him in soccer, baseball, swimming, track, tennis, every sport imaginable (not basketball, why? Because his father had an intense hatred for the sport for pure comedic reasons and didn’t want his son to be infected by basketball germs — Hayama father was in a long running competition with his brother, who was a basketball player and had this hatred for the sport. Which really didn’t last long when his son started playing and was good at it. He never lives this down when his brother brings up his son being on the basketball team. In return he says his son has more trophies from his middle school then he does in his entire adult life…they didn’t talk for a whole month)

- But for some reason Hayama took to gymnastics fantastically well…too well because before they knew it they were taking their son constantly to the hospital for broken, dislocated and fractured bones. Why? Because when he wasn’t at the gym he was at home in the backyard doing backflips from the roof, tables and any surface he could climb.

- Hayama was a constant face at the hospital, they made these little stickers specifically for him (it was a chibi cheetah with a cast on it’s leg) Would be walking down the halls and would be like superstar with the way he was greeting everyone and giving out high-fives with an arm in a cast. Everyone knew him. Even the patients.

- Bros flexibility is on another level, like disturbingly so that one time during a sleepover at Reo’s after watching a horror movie he went into a bridge and scared the shit out of everyone as he chased them around the house. Reo kicked him out on his balcony and was forced to sleep outside the rest of the night.

- He loves skateboarding, it’s his favorite thing to do. Because he will without a doubt be incorporating what he learnt in gymnastics into skateboarding. Everyone at the park just be watching this mf skating on his hands like it was nothing. Would be going down the ramps and doing fancy little tricks and jumps all on his hands. Everyone hates him. (Jk they love him and will go to him for help, especially the younger ones and he takes to it and loves giving advice and cheering them on when they succeed) (he has a secret skateboard partner who is a first year that attends Seirin High…who also used to be Akashis old teammate 🫣)

- Crossdresser Hayama? Yes? Yes? Yes! He has two older sisters, he was the the real life barbie doll. No jokes his haircut was given to him by his sisters and he’s just kept the same style since middle school. His sisters would dress him up in skirts, dresses, wigs, stockings and high heels. The whole nine yards. And he didn’t hate it? He had a lot of fun learning that he could wear whatever the fuck he wanted to whilst looking hot as fuck. One time when he was dolled up and went out with his sisters, he ran into Reo, who tried flirting with him completely unaware it was Hayama. When he found out (it was on a tuesday afternoon, 4:20 pm at Rakuzan High School in the basketball gym) Reo had an identity crisis PURELY because it was Hayama, and couldn’t look at Hayama without turning red.

- Wanna guess what his favourite genre of music is? Mozart, Frederic Chopin and Pyotor llyich. No kidding, completely deadass. Classical music is his jam. Fast paced, dramatic and overall epic as fuck? (Nobody gives him the aux cord) he of course loves rnb, rap and pop. But classical music has a grip on him. He will attend orchestras when they have shows, Akashi goes with him since he also shares the same taste in music which was a surprise to the younger boy, but it was something they bond over.

- I’m not kidding nobody will let him have the aux cord unless they pre approve what music he will play 😭
