#well tetsu savage

[hotwings0203]

fighter kirishima who doesn't like it when other people even stare for one second at his partner, so then he just kills anyone who dares to stand less than 2ft from his darling 😌👍

Tw:noncon implication, implied murder

“Why’re you standing so far away babe?”

You’re not, he’s got his arms wrapped around your waist to the point of crushing your hips.

“‘M not, just couldn’t breathe.”

“Oh good, for a moment there I was worried you were looking at that guy again.

That guy referring to the blond haired weirdo who kept laughing and pointing at the losers of the ring like a maniac.

Right, like you were totally head over heels for the one weirdo in the entire basement.

Except your “boyfriend “ maybe. He could definitely take that title.

Well, maybe not weirdo. Maybe Possessive Controling Freak would be a better name for him, instead of Kirishima.

And just to drive the point home, he soothingly rubs his calloused hand up and down your arm while the next match rages on in front of you both.

It’s not soothing, on the contrary it seems like a threat.

He just amps it up from then on any time he feels like your attention is elsewhere or if he feels like other men are looking at you for a second too long.

First it’s taking on arm and tightly squeezing it. Then, he puts one leg of yours over his thigh much to your embarrassment.

Eventually he just picks you up and plops you on his lap. While he thinks he’s keeping other men at bay with this tactic, it’s doing the complete opposite.

Because these testosterone filled savages are quite enjoying the scene with your limbs being toyed with and thrown over a man like the rest of them, your ragdoll-maneuvered body a promise of something they might be able to one day get a taste of.

The entirety of the fight goes by dreadfully slow because all you can focus on is how long Kiri’s hands dip in and out of the crevice of your legs way too casually. His hands settle comfortably under your shirt and across your boobs, which can be seen by literally everyone when they catch a glimpse of an evident hand on your chest.

He prevents you from squirming too much with his limbs tightening around you and disapproving grunts to your discomfort. So you sit there, stewing with rage and humiliation.

Until a distraction appears.

In the midst of the next match brawling in the ring, a smaller fight breaks out amongst the raging spectators.

It only catches both your attention when the yelling starts getting close to your area and men start throwing fists and yelling until their faces tie beet-red.

Kirishima and you both crane your heads around to see the source of the commotion, but you realize quickly that it’s getting way too intense around you, so much so that men begin lifting chairs and falling over themselves in their own battles.

You try to get up but Kiri’s hands are wrapped so tightly around your midriff that you barely manage to dislodge his arm. He’s distracted and looking around curiously at the dangerous setting and you have to frantically tap his arm to indicate it’s time to go.

But he snaps out of it too late, and a body gets punched your way, his large mass descending on your weaker frame.

You shriek and try to lift your hands up to protect yourself, but it doesn’t work. You’re slammed into and knocked clean off Kirishima’s lap onto the floor laced with blood and bits of torn clothes.

There’s a loud ringing in your ears as you blearily get up and take in your surrounds, which seem to love in slow motion around you. You belatedly think that you must’ve hit your head on the concrete floor when you fell.

Your arms ache as you groan and lift yourself up on shaky elbows, the sounds around you swim in and out of your aching head when suddenly an open hand is thrust in front of your face.

“Are you alright? I’m so sorry!”

Grimacing, you tilt your head up and see the same man who knocked you down. You’re in no condition to refuse help in such a volatile area however, so you gingerly lift your hand and grasp onto his open palm.

You find yourself being pulled up easily and crushed into the man’s body. It’s hard to push back but when you see how many bloody faces and broken limbs windmill around you decide it’s best to keep close to a safe space.

The man gently starts stepping over writhing bodies and lifting you up under your arms to ensure that you don’t trip and fall again while on your way to a clearer area.

You don’t resist, only looking up at him helplessly like a kitten being dragged by its mom from the scruff. His body is warm and toned, yet plush and comfortable to lean against when you need to. Your cranium still pounds, but your head clears a bit when you look into his surprisingly concerned grey eyes.

“You alright? Hit your head a little hard, huh? My bad.”

He sets you on a perch near the office and looks around, deeming it a less loud and crowded area for your health.

He says nothing, but you don’t sense any malice from him. He doesn’t move either though, he just leans an arm on the extension and puts another hand on his hip, scanning the screaming men and casualties as if he were looking out in a snowy field.

He might be protecting you, or looking for a good place to jump in and start swinging himself, you’re not sure.

But you’re grateful for his helpful presence, nonetheless.

And then suddenly your moment of reprieve is dismantled when you hear him frantically calling your name.

You see his head hair sticking up, spiky as ever while the top of his head bobs left and right, in circles and backwards as he tries finding you.

Your head starts to hurt again.

“Y/N! Where the hell are you?”

Eventually and unfortunately he sees your figure above the fray, and he swears you look like an angel-siting above this rifraff, your body perfectly intact unlike the rest of these thugs, your expression dazed and vulnerable like it did when you were choking on his co-

He sees the man next to you, and his vision shatters like glass when he takes in the proximity of him next to you.

Kirishima sees red.

“Hey, there you are cutie! I got scared I lost you for a sec’ there. Thanks for looking out for her man,” he smiles and shakes his hand with the steel-haired guy, crushing his grip a little too hard to be deemed grateful.

“No problem. The name’s Tetsutetsu. ‘Think I’ve seen you around here, you fight pretty good not gonna lie! When’s it gonna be my turn to match that strength in the rink?” He smiles deviously and knocks shoulders with you in jest.

While you smile uncomfortably and rub your now-bruising shoulder, Kirishima’s eye twitches at the contact and his smile starts straining as well.

But this is too easy to give up.

“Hey, that’s actually a really good idea. Why don’t we have our own little practice match after the shit here clears up?” He nods around to the ongoing pandemonium.

You look at him stricken, unsure of what he’s playing at. You’re not stupid, you can tell by his off body language that he’s not at rest or relaxed at all by this conversation.

The expression he’s making, while it might fool the himbo next to you, is extremely reminiscent of the faces he pulls when he chides gently in your ear to stop moving so fucking far away from him and soothes a hand over your head.

“Sounds good, and don’t worry, I’ll take it easy on you.” The other man laughs heartily and kicks away a stray rolling body.

Kirishima merely grins gently. “For your sake, is give it my best.”

*************

He’s strapped you to the bed-check.

You’ve been spanked black and blue-check.

A lecture has been given to your sobbing body-check.

Ointment has been slathered on the bruises-double check.

And he’s out the door at exactly 9pm, jogging his way to the bar and down the steps to the basement as a light warm up. He considers calling an ambulance before-hand, but that would mean he’d give enough mercy to leave Tetsutetsu intact…and alive.

When he bounds down the rickety steps he finds that Tetsu is already there and lightly boxing a body bag that the newbies use for practice.

He has to hold back his snort and paint his usual cheery face on, but something tells him even the dim yellow light in this room would still show the dark emotion swirling in his ruby eyes.

“What’s up bro, you made it?”

“No, I’m still at home.”

Tetsutetsu laughs heartily and doesn’t catch onto the cold bite Kirishima’s words hold.

“You’re funny. ‘Wanna warm up-“

“-Nah, actually, ‘think I’m good. Let’s just get started, I’ve been waiting for this.”

“You got it boss.”

And without further ado they both shrug off their shirts in the hot basement and ready their fists in a protective stance, circling each other.

“Y’know, when I saw you next to my girl I fantasized about caving your face in,” a punch is thrown suddenly and Tetsu is thrown off guard by the surprising agility of the bully opponent and his words.

He practically eats the hit square in the nose, his head snapping back and immediately pouring blood from his nostrils.

He coughs and staggers before realigning himself the opposite end of the fighting circle. “Wha-? Why?” The victim sounds congested from the leaking blood but his focus is only on Kirishima’s change in expression.

“Yeah, and then I saw you knock shoulders with her too…maybe I’ll cut yours off and sell ‘em for a couple hundred, whaddaya think bro?”

This time when Kirishima aims for his face again he’s ready, and he quickly dodges and strikes his face fist out.

But what he doesn’t expect is the redhead to actually catch the fist in his own larger hand and hold it in midair. He also doesn’t react in time to pull his hand out and move back when Kiri’s other fist swings low and punches so hard into his stomach that he falls to the ground, hand still captivated by Kirishima’s.

He’s never seen a man with that kinda of face on while fighting. His eyes are narrowed and dark, his mouth is set in a thin like and his whole body is taut, as if holding back his own strength.

For the first time since he’s ever been in the basement, Tetsutetsu doesn’t to fight anymore.

“Look Kirishima,” he hacks and looks wildly at him. “I don’t know if you’re upset at me for something but you gotta chill out. You can’t catch my hands like that, that’s not how you’re supposed to fight-“

“You still think I give a shit how we’re supposed to fight? No ones gonna care about strategy or sportsmanship when you’re dead, Tetsutetsu.”

His last scream is so loud and so shrill that Kirishima thinks it’s a shame it wasn’t witnessed in a real match by paying spectators.

And they were roomates | Haikyuu Captains

Sawamura Daichi, Kuroo Tetsurou, Bokuto Kotarou, Oikawa Tooru & Ushijima Wakatoshi

A/N: I didn’t know exactly which captains you wanted, but I did the basics because I love them *ugly crying* They're all grown ups living together, but this is probably a bit canon divergent, huhu. Thank you very much for the prompt, @cupcakedog2023​ I hope you enjoy this!

Polyrelationship if you squint, but not really. I want to thank my dear friend @ragewerthers​ because we've been talking about Daichi (and Iwa) lately so I felt very inspired to (destroy) write about him. I enjoy writing hc’s with you, my sweet friend *sobs* And I love Daichi.

Summary: Daichi has the best luck, (ahem, strategy), but it’s all gone when his roommates team up against him.

Words: 3,862 (hoho)

-----

Three loud groans and a soft displeased huff filled the entire apartment when Daichi threw his last card.

"You must be kidding me," Kuroo sighed, also throwing his (many) cards into the pile in the middle of the table and bringing his hands up to rub his face vigorously. Daichi was wearing a wide grin. "How many times already? Ten?"

"Eleven," Ushijima said and Daichi could only puff his chest proudly… it had been twelve times, but who counts? He does. "Look how proud he is."

"Are we going to have another round?" Bokuto asked, his smile bright, having way more fun than Kuroo, Oikawa and Ushijima all together.

"Hell yeah," Oikawa said, already gathering the cards in his hands and shuffling them with the experience of a croupier.  How he had that talent, no one knew, but it definitely made everyone look at his hands in awe. Even Daichi, who could only think about his twelve victories.

"I refuse to admit that Sawamura is the only one who can win this game!" He cried, throwing the cards to each one of them. "Even if Ushiwaka wins, I'll be happy." He pointed at Ushijima, who was sitting right beside him. 

Ushijima simply rolled his eyes and Daichi laughed softly as he took the new cards, spreading them between his hands. 

He didn't feel bad about winning. He had always been extremely good at board games and he was pretty sure that all of these former captains knew about it. At the end of their game nights, (usually on Fridays because they all had a day off on Saturday, thank god), Daichi would have mercilessly crushed each one off them - that's why they didn't gamble, the last time they did, Oikawa had to borrow money from all of them until his next payday. 

No one wanted to live up to that humiliation and it was the only time Daichi actually felt bad, so gambling was forbidden, but even with or without it, Daichi was invencible in every single game: Kuroo winning every now and then, Ushijima probably won one or two times before, as well as Oikawa, and Bokuto… well, Bokuto didn't care at all who won or lost, he enjoyed spending time with his roommates the most and his big smile was enough for everyone to keep playing until they gave up to beat Daichi. 

"Don't!" Oikawa yelled dramatically. It was his turn to throw a card and Daichi couldn't help but laugh. They had played for five minutes. Five minutes and Daichi had already screamed that word out, making the rest of the men cringe. "It's impossible!"

Uno! 

"Just throw it, Tooru!"

Kuroo had drawn almost all of the cards, he even had some on the table, Ushijima had three, Bokuro had around five of six and Oikawa, (Daichi really, really wanted to laugh), he only had two - Daichi didn't know what cards they were, but all of them knew he was going to win regardless, after all, he only had one card between his fingers. 

Oikawa sighed in resignation, throwing his card: a yellow two.

Daichi threw his own: a Draw Four Wild. 

"Ah, I was hoping for someone else to win," Kuroo sighed, almost pouting and crossing his arms above his chest. 

Daichi only smirked, seeing how Oikawa dramatically fell against Ushijima, a hand resting against his forehead as he faked fainting. "I am a disgrace," Oikawa said, sobbing quietly as Ushijima patted his shoulder. 

"I'm sorry I won," Daichi mumbled, gathering the cards again. 

"Don't say you're sorry if you are not!" Kuroo said with narrowed eyes and reaching up to pinch Daichi's nose. 

Daichi squeaked. "It's all about strategy!" He claimed, rubbing at his nose. "And knowing what cards to throw at the right time!"

"Yeah, yeah," Oikawa mocked from where he was still laying against Ushijima. "Do you want to show off your strategy skills, captain? Maybe you should give us all some tutoring?"

Daichi laughed. "If that is what you want…"

Oikawa gasped and he opened his mouth to say something else, but Bokuto's gentle voice interrupted him. "Maybe we should get some tutoring," he said and this time Kuroo was the one to open his mouth to speak out against that idea, but Bokuto continued talking. "After all, Karasuno did kick all of our asses back then, didn't they?" Bokuto said quite nonchalantly, a sudden silence filled the room and Daichi felt his heart dropping a little.

That was okay, right? That happened in highschool, right? All of them were working men already so it was in the past... Right? 

"Uh...," Daichi started but was cut off by a hum coming from Oikawa. 

"Kou-chan is right," he said, a dangerous smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth. Daichi blushed. "Karasuno did kick our asses back then, huh?"

Bokuto, perhaps not catching on what was happening, (perhaps actually knowing what was happening), nodded enthusiastically, his arm wrapping around Kuroo's shoulders, because he always felt the need to touch someone.  

"Ho?" Daichi's eyes quickly turned to look at Kuroo, who was also smirking, his sleepy eyes a bit dark and a perfect eyebrow raised up. "So we really are living with our biggest rival, eh?" 

Daichi gulped nervously, eyeing the four men around him. "Now, now," he said, trying to sound calm. "That was in highschool, guys. It's not like we're still playing for our teams, right?"

Right?

"Listen to this captain trying to calm down the team," Oikawa said and Daichi positively blushed to the tip of his ears. "Don't think that you can just brush it off, Sawamura. We hold a grudge."

Bokuto laughed at that, but Oikawa punched him in the arm, a playful smile on his lips, nothing compared to that savage smirk he sent back to Daichi. 

Daichi sensed danger, so his eyes slowly moved to look at Ushijima, expecting him to help him out of this situation, but he flinched when he found his serious brown eyes staring back at him. 

"Since Daichi is Karasuno's former captain," Ushijima started, his voice emotionless, but his eyes piercing holes through Daichi's face. "He should take responsibility and be punished on his teammates' behalf."

Daichi widened his eyes, his mouth dropping open. "Wa-Wakatoshi..."

Kuroo, Bokuto and Oikawa laughed and, as if Ushijima's words were the only thing they needed to do something about their former enemy, Kuroo launched at Daichi, not giving him the chance to try and escape. 

"No! Wait, aah!" Daichi squeaked when he was suddenly picked up and thrown over Kuroo's shoulder as if he was not more than a sack of rice. "T-Tetsu! You guys, hold- hold on!" Daichi protested, but Kuroo ultimately ignored him as the rest of them quickly followed behind him (and Daichi), to the living room. 

"Toshi already said that you should be punished, Dai-chan," Oikawa said with that lethal smirk. "So we are not backing up now."

Daichi sent another glance to Ushijima and he could only whine softly when he saw him nodding his head solemnly, Bokuto now wrapping his arm around his shoulders. He let out another squeak when Kuroo suddenly threw him against the sofa, they hovered over him for a few seconds before Oikawa and Kuroo were both pinning his arms up above his head. 

"W-Wait... I'm- I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean... to win?" Daichi tried to explain himself, his back arching up as he pulled at his arms. 

"What should we do?" Oikawa asked, ignoring Daichi's pleas. 

"Shall we punch him?" Kuroo said and Daichi gasped, widening his eyes.

"What?! Do you guys really hate me that much?!" Oikawa and Kuroo snickered and Daichi looked over Ushijima just one more time, but he only blushed furiously when he found the man looking at him intently. 

He was screwed. 

"So not punching?" Kuroo asked playfully.

"Not punching," Bokuto suddenly popped in. "This!" He said before diving in, his hands latching onto Daichi's sides, squeezing them up and down.��

Daichi flinched when Bokuto grabbed him, his body tensing, actually fearing to be beaten up, but he was extremely surprised when, instead of pain, he felt those sparks waking up his nerve endings.

"Aaah! Wahahahait!" Daichi started to giggle right away; to be attacked by something so low as tickling, the humiliation! "Puhuhuhunch me!"

The rest laughed, even Ushijima let out soft chuckles as Daichi giggled and began to squirm, pulling at his arms. 

"What?! That's so stupid, I love it!" Oikawa chirped as he got a better hold of Daichi's wrists, making him squeak when he pushed his arm a little higher, Kuroo following suit, causing Daichi to let out nervous giggles. 

"B-Bohohoho!" Daichi squeaked out, trying to twist his hips so he could turn on his side, but to his surprise, Bokuto planted himself on top of his thighs. "N-Nohoho! I'm sorry! I'm sohohorry!" 

Daichi was usually okay with tickle fights. He had had some with these four men before, but never the four of them at once! He was not sure he'd survive this, after all, he was aware that at least one of them knew about his most ticklish spot and, knowing them, they'd make sure to weak him up before finally going straight for that spot. 

Daichi shuddered as he tried to bite his lower lip to stop those giggles bubbling out, but he squeaked when Bokuto started to squeeze his waist and the giggles that had gathered in his throat came flowing loud and clear and the blush on his face spread toward his ears.

"Ah, so I remembered correctly!" Bokuto said excitedly. "Daichi has a ticklish waist!"

Oikawa hummed. "I didn't know he was ticklish there… nice!" He said, talking as if Daichi wasn't there giggling like a schoolgirl.

He knew he was in trouble - Oikawa, Kuroo and Bokuto were already fired up, but Ushijima was still there (embarrassingly staring at him), without doing anything, so Daichi managed to put the best puppy eyes he could and looked at him.

"W-Wahahahakatoshi!" He giggled, flinching when Bokuto found the right spot on his waist. "H-Hehehehelp!" No, more specific. "H-Help m-mehehehe, please!"

He should had known better, after all, Ushijima was the one who suggested the punishment in the first place, regardless, Daichi was still surprised when Ushijima mumbled with his low, deep voice::

"Try his stomach."

Daichi widened his eyes and he immediately sucked on his belly, as if that action would help him at all - of course it didn't: he let out a whimpery plea, but Bokuto easily raised his shirt up to his ribs and his fingers dug into the flesh of his stomach. 

"GAHAHaha! Wahahait! Wait!" He squeaked, the giggles morphing into loud laughs as Bokuto mercilessly vibrated his fingertips right in the center of his tummy. "Uhuhuhushihihihi!" Daichi didn't notice, but Ushijima's ears turned a little red. "Trahahahahitor!" 

"Ho?" Kuroo purred. "So Sawamura has a ticklish tummy?" 

"Try scribbling your fingers on the sides," Ushijima explained, his fingers wiggling slightly to show Bokuto how to do it. 

"Nohoho!"

"Why don't you do it, Wakatoshi?" Bokuto asked with a big smile, stopping momentarily to invite Ushijima to join, Daichi shook his head like a mad man.

"Oh! That's a splendid idea!" Oikawa beamed and Daichi fought against all instinct to look up at him, he didn't want to see Oikawa's big grin. "While Toshi wrecks Daichi's belly, Bo can move to his ribs!"

Daichi squeaked. "Pl-Plehehease! D-Don't be such s-sohohore losers!" 

It was too late when Daichi realized what he just said; Ushijima was already kneeling close to the sofa and his hands were poised against the sides of Daichi's belly, his fingers scribbling against the warm and tight skin. 

Daichi's reaction was priceless and everyone laughed about it: he arched his back and let out a slightly girly shriek before bubbly laughter bloomed out of his mouth. His heels digging into the sofa's surface.

"Ahahaha! Wakatohohoshi, wait! N-Nahahaha!" 

To Daichi's horror, little hiccups started to filter through his laughter and the cooing from above him only made him want to sink deeper into the mattress, but he arched up again when Ushijima started to vibrate his fingers against the muscles at the sides of his tummy, stealing more hiccups from Daichi. 

"Oh goodness," Oikawa whispered. "Try his ribs! His ribs!" Oikawa urged Bokuto who, thankfully, had stopped to just look over at Daichi with a bright smile of his own. "It's a very nice spot."

"Nohohoho!"

"Up here?" Bokuto teased, his fingers crawling like little spider's legs toward Daichi's ribs. 

"P-Plehehehease!" Daichi shook his head and scrunched up his nose at the little pokes, his tummy sucking in when Bokuto grazed his lower ribs, but it seemed like Bokuto didn't notice as he suddenly made two claws with his hands and started to vibrate them against his bones and in the spaces in-between.

Daichi let out a shriek before cackles poured out of his mouth, he was positively kicking his feet now, or at least trying to with Bokuto sitting on his thighs. His ribs were horribly ticklish, he only needed a poke there to feel his whole rib cage tingling.

Bokuto was now squeezing Daichi's ribs, making him jump and squeak, but he was not hitting those special spots that never failed to almost throw Daichi into hysterical laughter, but Oikawa knew and Daichi knew it was only a matter of time before he instructed Bokuto again. 

"Nice, Bo, but try right at the lower ribs." There he was.

"No! Nohohoho, Kou! Plehehehease!"

"Oh?" Kuroo and Ushijima mumbled curiously and Daichi could only beg between cackles. 

"Here?"

"Yes, those ribs are really sensitive. Just use your thumbs- yeah, like that."

"AHAHAHA!" Daichi wished that he couldn't feel the tickling against his tummy, too, but that, added to the new electrifying sensation of having his lower ribs massaged with gentle deep circles, he felt like he wanted to crawl out of his skin. 

His squirming got wilder and Bokuto, Kuroo and Oikawa laughed as they pinned him a little harder without hurting him - Ushijima just chuckled, his fingers moving with experience, (didn't they have a tickle fight like once?!); his thumbs digging into the soft flesh under Daichi's belly button, forcing a snort out, or perhaps it was the way Bokuto was vibrating his fingers against those horribly ticklish ribs. 

He didn't know, he just knew it tickled, but it was not over yet. He felt it in his belly, his insides doing little flips just at the thought of that certain spot being tickled and Kuroo hadn't done anything yet. 

"That's not all! That's not all!" Oikawa said excitedly over Daichi's loud laughter 

"Look at this!" He quickly pinned Daichi's arm with his knees, Daichi was so overwhelmed by sensations that he didn't even put up a fight when he felt a little bit of freedom on his arm. 

"No! D-dohohon't l-lehehet hihihim- AH! Ahahahaha, Tooru! T-To-ahahaha!" 

Bokuto let out a whistle at such reaction, but Daichi couldn't care less at the moment: Tooru was rubbing deep circles into his highest ribs and Daichi just couldn't stand the maddening sensation - the skin, the muscles, even the bones felt extremely tender and weak against the ticklish attention. 

Not only that, having Tooru's hands so close to his actual most ticklish spot had him in frantic hysterical cackles; his body slowly growing weak, his hips wiggling slightly and his torso trying to turn away, but it was not possible, not with all of that laughter pouring non stop out of his mouth.

"Hehe, I told you guys it was a nice spot!" 

"Stahahahap!"

"I'm not sure," Oikawa said, looking down at Daichi's laughing face, he was red by now, a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead and tears falling from the sides of his face. "Do you feel any bad?" 

"I d-d-ahahaha! I do!" He squeaked out in a hurry before another cackle could cut his words. 

"Are you learning your lesson?" Kuroo asked next, but Daichi didn't have the head to learn any lesson, he was laughing hysterically, snorts burning his nose and hiccups bubbling out of his throat. If there was a lesson to learn, he was not learning it at all, but he nodded, not wanting to cause any more havoc to himself. 

Kuroo chuckled. "Poor Daichi, too ticklish for his own good. Maybe you can have it in mind next time you decide to be a little shit, huh?" 

Daichi shook his head. "I'm sohohohaharry!"

"I think you are lying," Kuroo purred and Daichi feared for his life. "That's why I should teach the rest, where's your weakest spot, hm?"

Daichi shrieked, his tired body regaining some force. "NAHAHAHAT thahahat!"

"Heee?" Bokuto and Oikawa said, Ushijima only looked up at Kuroo with a raised eyebrow. "So Daichi is not the most ticklish on his ribs?"

"AHAGAHAHAD, plehehehease Tehehehetsu, dohohon't!" 

"Of course not," Kuroo said, pinning Daichi's arm with his legs, as well. "Daichi's weakest spot is right here," he said, suddenly digging one finger right in the middle of Daichi's clothed armpits. 

Daichi went so wild with such gentle touch, he almost threw Bokuto off, but Ushijima held him by the shoulder, stabilizing him so Bokuto could properly sit on Daichi's thighs again. Oikawa was laughing at him. 

"Uh-uh," Bokuto said, his fingers back to Daichi's lower ribs. "This is going to be good."

"Brace yourself, Dai. Here I go!"

"No! Nononono- NAHAHAHA!" Oikawa gasped when Daichi suddenly threw his head back, howling with laughter. 

Kuroo wasted no time, he sneaked his hands under Daichi's sleeves, touching the smooth skin with his fingertips before digging, wiggling and vibrating against the exposed armpits, into the hollows and right in the center where Kuroo knew Daichi was the most sensitive. 

Meanwhile, Daichi was going crazy. He was howling desperately, all of his weak spots being tickled at once was something he hadn't experience before and his mind was going blank, he could only focus in the sensations and how it tickled so fucking much. 

The vibrations against his armpits, the massages against his highest and lower ribs and he was almost sure that he felt a shy raspberry being pressed against the side of his tummy before fingertips were clawing at his muscles. Oh goodness, Ushijima was actually blowing raspberries against his stomach! 

Daichi thought he was going to die. 

"STAHAHA-" it was the only thing Daichi could manage out before his laughter turned silent, his body shaking heavily with each laugh. 

"Daichi, does it tickle too much?" Oikawa asked, not slowing down at all. Daichi nodded weakly, jumping when Kuroo found a particular sensitive spot. 

"Do you want us to stop?" Kuroo mumbled and Daichi nodded again, throwing his head back with a salient cackle when he definitely felt and heard another raspberry, this time right against his navel. 

"Poor Dai," Bokuto sang. "Too ticklish for his own good." Daichi nodded one more time, not caring anymore about saving some face to these mean boys.

"Okay, that's enough," Ushijima said, lifting his hands away from Daichi's pink stomach. The other three followed him, bright smiles on their lips as they watched Daichi still laughing until he regained his voice and was giggling tiredly, his body trembling slightly. 

"I'll bring some water," Kuroo said, lifting himself from Daichi's arm, Daichi was too weak, so he just kept his arm up above his head. 

"Are you okay, Dai?" Bokuto asked, perhaps a little worried as he placed Daichi's shirt back in place, not without making him flinch and bark out a nervous laugh when he moved his hands too quickly. 

Oikawa chuckled. "Calm down, we have finished. Do you feel okay?" Daichi took a few breaths before nodding softly, a little smile curling his lips.

"I'm g-gohohood," he said, his voice hoarse after laughing so much. "N-Nohoho more," he pleaded with bright eyes and a funny smile. 

"Yes, no more." Oikawa nodded, pulling Daichi's arm out from under his knees and gently helping him to lower both of them. Daichi let out a giggle when Ushijima grabbed both his hands and helped him sit up, Bokuto placing him against the backrest of the sofa.

He felt boneless and a bit heated up, but he didn't mind when Bokuto sat too close to him at his right, Oikawa collapsing right beside Bokuto. Ushijima sat by his left, also a bit too close and Daichi didn't notice when he had gotten that magazine, but he thanked him shyly when Ushijima started to fan him with it. 

When Kuroo came back with the glass of water, Daichi took it gratefully and drank it in one sip, Oikawa was nice enough to take the glass out of his hands and place it on the little table in front of them. 

Daichi let his head fall back. Damn, he was tired and he still felt some phantom tickles all over his torso, making him twitch softly and smile lightly. That was intense, but, even so, he couldn't really say he totally hated it.

He sent discreet glances at the men resting by his sides and his heart fluttered a little when he noticed their little pleased smiles. They seemed happy - ah, could it be because they actually got their revenge on him? 

Daichi felt his cheeks heating up. They didn't really hate him for that, right? They've been living together for a while now and everything was going perfectly fine, so it wasn't like that… was it? 

He softly cleared his throat and flushed even more when the four of them turned their head to look at him, Oikawa and Kuroo moving forward a little. 

"Are- are you guys really upset at me?" He tried to look at each of their faces as he sunk a little deeper into the backrest. 

Ushijima, Oikawa, Bokuto and Kuroo exchanged a look and Daichi let out a shriek when he felt fingers suddenly digging into his ribs, tickling him again.

"Gahahaha! N-Nohoho!" He was surprised to find out that Bokuto and Ushijima were the ones doing it. 

"Dai-chan is so silly!" Oikawa laughed softly. 

"Of course we are not upset at you, Daichi!" Bokuto chirped, going for Daichi's waist again. 

"We just wanted to tease you! We don't actually hold a grudge against you, silly Daichi!" Kuroo laughed too, reaching up to ruffle Daichi's hair. 

"Mn," Ushijima mumbled, also moving down to tickle the other side of Daichi's waist. 

"Plehehehease! S-Stahahap! You sahahahaid no mohohore!"

"You should be punished for actually thinking we were upset at you," Kuroo threatened and Daichi squeaked, shaking his head a little. 

He would never admit that he felt his heart flutter at that, his face turning bright red as he felt a wave of relief rushing through him. 

"O-Okahahay! I'm sohohorry!"

"Shall we hold him down?" Oikawa asked, already getting up. 

"No!" Daichi shrieked, wrapping his arms around his torso and trying to push those hands away. "Not nahahahaw!"

"Hoo?" Kuroo hummed. "So later?"

Daichi was stuck with four tickle maniacs and they already had found their victim. If he was happy about it, he kept it deep within his heart.

ch. 5: Best Friends (19 weeks)

The blaring sound abruptly drew him out of his deep slumber. “What?” He muttered, rubbing his face.

“Kurooooo,” she whined. “I need your help.” He furiously blinked, trying to rub the sleep away.

“What’s up?”

“I have these super bad cravings, do you mind picking it up and getting it for me?” 

Kuroo sighed deeply. “This is what you decided to wake me up for?” He groaned, slapping a hand to his forehead.

“Please? I’d owe you one! And you’re awake already.”

“You owe me a lot more than just one, kitten,” he warned. “What on Earth are you craving right now?”

“I really want dark chocolate covered blueberries and a salmon onigiri. Oh! And maybe some meat buns.” An exclamation. “Maybe peaches too!” 

He blinked. “What?”

She let out a loud whine. “Kuroo! Don’t judge me! It’s what the baby wants, okay?”

“I’m not judging that’s just..super particular. Alright fine, I’ll pick it up and head over.”

“You’re literally the best! Love you~!” And with that, she hung up. The rush of blood filled his ears as those words echoed in his ears. He pinched his nose, breathing deeply. Glancing down at his phone, he looked at the time. 2:26 A.M. She really had such inconvenient timing. At this rate, he wasn’t going to get sleep until at least 4 A.M. His eyes glided down, looking at his lock-screen. A smile tugged at his lips at the familiar face. It was a photo of (Name) laughing, her navy peacoat draped over her shoulders and the collar of her dress pulled up. Kuroo had taken the photo when they went on their fancy dinner over a month ago.  

He sighed, wiping his face with a hand as he got up. The sooner he left, the sooner he’d be back in bed. With one last grumble, he slid into a pair of sweats and an old volleyball hoodie as he made his way out of his apartment.

****

“The doctor did tell you last week that your cravings were going to get worse,” Kuroo teased as she opened the door for him. He’d visited four different convenience stores to find everything on her list. She ignored him, snatching the plastic bag out of his hands. (Name) waddled over to her sofa, plopping down as she rummaged through the bag. She pulled out the meat bun and onigiri, holding one in each hand as she took savage bites out of them.

“Oh my god, this is incredible,” she moaned, eyes squeezing shut in pleasure. 

“Oh yes, please do that again, I just love hearing that,” Kuroo teased.

“Shut up rooster-head.” (Name) swallowed, pulling out the peach drink he got her. “Aw, Kuroo! You got me my favorite, you’re literally the best.” He shrugged, taking a seat beside her. He reached for the bag, only to have his hand smacked away. “No! Mine.”

“I literally brought it for you!” He argued. “Let me get my food, woman.” She pouted, before pushing the bag towards him. He laughed at the familiar sight.

It was post-practice during their third-year. Kuroo and Kenma were joining (Name) at her house for their weekly movie night. “Ooh, can we stop by the convenience store?”

“Didn’t you just eat?” Kuroo teased. She had eaten her second bento while they were taking a break during practice.

“So? If you guys are coming over to watch movies, we should have snacks!” She argued, stopping directly in front of the store. “Do you guys want anything?”

“I’m okay.” Kenma replied, barely glancing up. Kenma sat down on the bench as he continued playing on his DS.

“Suit yourself!” She grinned. “How about you, Kuroo?”

“I’ll go pick for myself, thank you.” They walked inside. “Knowing you, you’d pick something weird for me.” 

“Hey, don’t you trust me?”

“No.” 

She giggled, tapping his nose before skipping away. “You should! I practically raised you, y’know?”

“And why do you think that?”

“Well, I did save your ass in English,” she teased, squatting down to survey the snacks at the bottom row. 

“Yeah well, you needed help in science. It cancels there.” 

“Whatever,” she rolled her eyes. “You know you love me. And with love, comes trust!” 

His heart skipped a beat. “Whatever helps you sleep at night, dear.” She rolled her eyes at his term of endearment. Kuroo picked up a bag of chips, choosing some more snacks as they made their way down the aisle. “What’s on the agenda for movies?”

(Name) hummed, paying for her snacks as they made their way outside. “Depends! I’m open for whatever.” She tugged Kenma off the bench before skipping off in front of them. Kuroo and Kenma stood beside one another as they trailed behind. Kuroo’s soft smile was not missed by the younger boy as he observed the female, (h/c) hair blowing back as she skipped. She hummed a tune from (favorite song) as she unlocked the door, dropping the snacks onto the table as she gestured to the couch. “Make yourselves comfortable!”

“Don’t we always?” Kenma muttered, sliding onto the reclining seat as (Name) bustled around to clean up the couch a bit. Kuroo plopped down onto the couch, kicking his legs up onto the table. She smacked his legs to make them fall off, ignoring his cry of indignation. 

“I’ll be right back!” She ran upstairs towards her room. 

“When are you going to tell her?”

Kuroo jumped, looking at his male best friend. “Tell her what?”

“That you have a thing for her.”

Kuroo’s cheeks flushed red. “No I don’t!”

“Sure. You totally weren’t watching her with a dopey smile either.” Kenma rolled his eyes, aggressively using combo moves in order to defeat the boss. “You’ve been in love with her for years now, we all know.”

Kuroo blanched. “Does she?”

“Nah, she’s just as dumb as you are when it comes down to it.” 

“Why the hell am I coming down to Kenma saying that I’m dumb?” (Name) pouted, blankets bundled in her arms as she appeared at the doorway. Kuroo jumped, his blood freezing and heart clenching. “Not that I’m saying Kuroo isn’t, but I definitely am not!” 

“Yes you are.” 

Kuroo let out a high-pitched laugh, earning an odd look from (Name). Kenma just shook his head in distaste. “Is that all you heard?”

“Rude, Kenma! And yes, rooster-head, that’s all I heard.” She plopped down on the couch, spreading the blanket over their laps. Kuroo let out a sigh of relief as (Name) turned to Kenma, raising her brow. “So, pudding-pop, why am I dumb?”

“You’re just always dumb.” She leaned over to playfully shove him, causing Kenma to mess up. “(Name)!” He swore, glaring at the girl. Kuroo leaned down for the snack bag, only to have his hand smacked away by (Name). He glared at her as she rummaged through the bag, pulling out her own snacks before she handed him the bag.

“That’s your own fault, pudding-pop.” She laughed, before she leaned back against Kuroo. The captain’s heart lurched as he looked down. Her head was practically resting on his chest, her warmth seeping through his clothes to his heart. If loving someone felt like this, then he definitely didn’t mind.  

She glanced at the clock, finishing the last of the snacks and throwing the trash into the bag. “There’s no reason for you to go home; I’d feel terrible if you drove home this late.” She bit her lip. “Why don’t you sleep in my bed tonight?” Kuroo looked at her, his eyebrows raised. When they were in middle-school, it wasn’t uncommon for them to share a bed. But once they had gotten to high-school, they were forced out of the habit— mainly due to rising hormones and fear of what others would think of them.

“Are you sure?” He hesitated. “I don’t want to intrude.”

“Just get in there, you big dummy.” She rolled her eyes, making her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She paused, standing in the doorway. Her eyes sparkled slightly as she looked at him. “Thanks for coming, Kuroo. I appreciate it.” She mumbled. 

Kuroo grinned, “I’m just glad to be of service.” He stood up, brushing his pants as he slipped into her bedroom. Hazel eyes surveyed the room, it wasn’t that different from before. Her desk was neat and organized, there were medicinal posters up on her walls, and there were soft golden fairy-lights dangling along the side of the wall. He undressed, leaving him in his boxers as he slipped under the covers. The mattress was so soft, he’d have to ask her where she got it. The sound of running water turned off, and the clicks of light-switches caught his attention. He glanced at the glowing red numbers on her desk. It was already 4:40 A.M. Thank god it was the weekend tomorrow. The door opened, and she entered. 

“Ugh, I forgot how big you are,” she grimaced, crossing her arms as she looked at him. “Budge up, will ya?” She was dressed in an oversized t-shirt, black panties peeking out from under them. 

“And you’re hardly wearing clothes,” he taunted before scooting over.

“Oi, my house, my rules. If you’re gonna be weird about it, you’re more than welcome to sleep on the sofa.” He simply tsk’d in response, lifting the blanket up so that she could slide in beside him. “You say I’m hardly wearing anything, Kuroo you’re not even wearing a shirt!” She whined, her hand brushing against his chest. 

“It’s nothing you haven’t seen before,” he teased, blowing air onto her face. 

“Don’t be such a prick.” 

“Goodnight princess.” 

A hum in response as her breathing got heavier. “G’night, Tetsu.” His heart stuttered.

****

(Name) groaned as the light filtered into the room, falling onto her face. She felt so warm and comfortable. Her attention was drawn to a weight on her waist. (E/c) eyes blinked at the chest that it was pressed against. Pulling back slightly, she looked up to see Kuroo’s sleeping face, a pillow pressed against his head. She stifled a giggle, taking in how relaxed the male looked. A sudden urge hit her. Oh shit, gotta pee, her eyes widened. Wiggling out of his arms carefully, she waddled to the bathroom. She might be pregnant, but the gods help her because she absolutely refused to have any sort of accident. 

 As she returned to her room, she couldn’t help but lean against the bed-frame as she looked down at his peaceful face. 

“Kuroo, I don’t understand this,” she whined, burying her face in her palms. They’d been studying for hours now. 

“What don’t you understand?” 

“I keep getting the wrong answers.” With one hand, she shoved the book towards him, plopping her head onto the desk. “Can I just drop out of school and become a stripper?” 

“No,” a bemused smile crossed his face, “it’s your last year. This is literally just high-school chemistry, that I’m helping you with. There will be no stripping here!” 

She grunted into her arms. “You’re right, I doubt anyone would wanna see that anyways.” 

Kuroo shifted uncomfortably. “That’s not true.” 

(Name) lifted her face, freezing. He was so close. All she’d need to do is lean forward just a little bit. “Are you saying you would?” She breathed. 

“Maybe.” He licked his lips, eyes wide. “Or maybe not. Maybe I just don’t want my best friend putting herself out like that.” Hazel eyes darted down to her lips. She could practically feel his lips against hers. 

They sprung apart as the door suddenly crashed open, revealing Lev. “Senpai, I need help studying!” 

“You gotta be quiet when you’re studying, you dumbass,” Kuroo retorted, cheeks slightly red. “Otherwise you bother everyone like you always do.”

“Don’t be mean to the baby tree,” (Name) scolded, her cheeks also glowing. 

“Why are your faces red?” Lev cocked his head.

“It’s just hot in here,” (Name) stammered, sitting up straighter. “How can I help you study, Lev?” Lev plopped into the chair beside her, pushing his books towards her as he explained his issues. In the corner of her eyes, she surveyed Kuroo. Did they really almost kiss?    

She shook her head, making her way back to her kitchen. She couldn’t be catching feelings now. Not for her best friend while she’s pregnant with her boyfriend’s— ex-boyfriend’s?— baby. She didn’t even want to think about how they were also best friends with one another. Silently, she wondered if these were feelings that she’d always secretly suppressed. It’s not like she’d never had a crush on Kuroo before. She’d had one when they were still in middle school, and she’d always assumed those were just one of those things that happened. With a more aggressive shake of her head, (Name) stepped into the kitchen, taking things out to make pancakes. As she hummed a familiar tune, cracking eggs into a bowl, she jumped. Warm arms snaked around her waist, a chest meeting her back.  

“Well aren’t you cuddly this morning?” She chuckled, patting one of his arms affectionately. Kuroo just tightened his grip, burying his face into her shoulder. His breath warmed the back of her neck. 

“Sleepy,” he muttered. “I blame you.”

(Name)’s giggle filled the kitchen, sounding like a windchime swaying in the breeze. “You didn’t have to help.” He awkwardly shrugged, tightening his grip as he rubbed his face into her shoulder, dangerously close to her neck. Goose-bumps raced along her skin. She leaned back in his caress, closing her eyes. The warmth of his body swept through her. “Hey, Kuroo?” He hummed in response. “Do you wanna move in?”

“Huh?” He rubbed his face into her shoulder, hiding his burning cheeks. Hoping that she couldn’t feel it. “Move in?” 

“Yeah.” She hesitated. “I mean, you’re always over. And I feel bad calling you to come over late at night.” She took a deep breath. “It’s also kinda lonely, y’know? Like it’s basically just me here by myself after living here with Kou for so long.” 

“That’s the last of the boxes, babe!” 

“Finally!” Bokuto collapsed onto the couch, letting out a massive sigh. “That took so long.”

“That’s what happens when you move somewhere,” she giggled, perching herself beside him. (Name) looked affectionately around the house. After an entire day of moving things in, they’d unpacked (most) of their boxes. It was the end of their first year of college, and they’d decide to move off-campus into their own house for some privacy for the upcoming school-year. Excitement pulsed through her. She and Bokuto had just celebrated their first anniversary after years of friendship, and things had never been easier. Of course, the couple had their issues. Bokuto had issues balancing his school-work with club volleyball, and she’d been so overwhelmed with her classes and internship that it was difficult for them to find time together. But, it was all worth it in the end. Now, she’d fall asleep and wake up beside the love of her life every day. “Kou, what do you want for dinner?”

“I’m too lazy to eat,” Bokuto groaned, draping an arm over his eyes. She patted his arm.

“Too lazy to eat? I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say that,” (Name) teased, elbowing him slightly. “Ah well, if you’re too lazy, maybe I’ll go get dinner all by myself. Alone. In our new neighborhood.” Her eyes sparkled with mischief. 

She made a move to stand, only for arms to snake around her and throw her into the couch. (Name) giggled loudly, blinking up into golden pools as Bokuto hovered over her. He peppered kisses all around her face. “Let’s order in, and just spend our first night in our new home together, okay?” He murmured, brushing her hair away from her face as he drew her into a soft kiss. “Besides, I want to spend time with the love of my life in the place where we’ll raise our kids.” She gaped, tears welling up. His eyes were shut as he nudged her nose with his. 

“Kids?”

He flushed, pulling back. “Well yeah, I wanna have kids with you.” He pulled her hand up to his lips, kissing the promise ring that sat there. “I promised you forever, didn’t I?” Arms wrapped around his neck, dragging him down to her as she slotted her lips against his.

“God I love you,” she whispered in between kisses. 

“Y’know, this is a perfect time to break in that new bed,” he grinned.

“Kou!” She squealed, smacking his chest. Her eyelashes fluttered as she stared at him. Her heart had never felt so warm. 

“Are you sure?” Kuroo pulled back, turning her so that she was facing him. “I don’t want to intrude.” 

She nodded. “Yeah. If anything, we can put a bed in the nursery for now and you can stay there so you have your own space.” (Name) offered him a small smile. “Is that okay?”  

“Well, if you insist,” Kuroo teased, tapping her nose. He grew serious. “I’d do anything for you, (Nickname).” 

She wrapped her arms around him. “You’re the best, Kuroo.”

Fun facts

Random facts about Ochako

- Her hero costume was designed with utility in mind, so that she could use her quirk with minimum side-effects, contrary to some of her other classmates who only thought of the #aesthetic. Like, say, Kaminari :’D

- Since she didn’t request anything specific looks-wise, she got stuck with a skin-tight costume that made her a bit uncomfortable at first. 

- Besides being modest, she’s also very easily flustered.

- She’s the only student shown to be living on her own before the dorms were implemented, which speaks about her level of maturity and self-sufficiency.

- She was surprised that Bakugou could cut veggies so neatly and sort of teased him for it. 

- Her costume was designed by the same company who designed Bakugou’s, and that’s why both of them have those little black circles on them.

- Because of her appearance and personality, people (fandom included) downplay just how badass and downright savage she can be. Please let’s all acknowledge as a fandom that if she’d been paired up with anyone else but Bakugou, that meteor shower would’ve obliterated any other opponent.

- Not only that, but she’s literally the only one in the entire sports festival who pushed Bakugou to his limit. She forced him to overuse his quirk by blasting a huge explosion to defend himself, pushing him to strain himself because he didn’t have his protective gauntlets on. She singlehandedly posed a greater threat than Todoroki and Kirishima combined. Bakugou was right to be wary of her, because if he’d taken her lightly, he would’ve lost, and he totally knew it. 

- So Uraraka is a force of nature. It’s a fact. Pass it on.  

- She’s selfless to a fault. She was shown to sometimes go entire days without eating to save money for her parents. [x]  

- her favourite pro hero seems to be Number 13, which fits with her whole space aesthetic. I wouldn’t be surprised if she secretly was a sci-fi fan or believed in aliens.

- she also likes Gunhead and his “cute” manner of speech.

- Given that she’s not from the city, she has a bit of an accent herself. I’m not familiar with the japanese scans so do correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall her trying to hide her accent as well.

- Her favourite food is mochi.

- Out of all the girls from class 1-A, she’s the only one shown to focus on trying to improve her hand-to-hand combat skills.

- She’s also the only girl who understood that Kirishima’s “manly” decor was supposed to make you feel motivated and pumped up, and wasn’t just supposed to be tacky.

- That’s probably because they both tend to have low self-confidence, and both thrive on teamwork and on external validation rather than on internal drive, like, say, Deku and Bakugou. The latter of which is also why they gravitate around said boys, following in their shadows to slowly learn to walk by their sides.

- They also both tend to sell themself too short, as shown by how both of them scored really really high in the entrance exam. 

- I can’t stress this enough, but she’s strong af. She ranked third in the entrance exam, scoring above several guys from her class, including two of the top students such as Iida and Deku, and even above people with quirks much more suited to destroying robots such as Tetsu and Tokoyami. She’s the girl with the highest score rate at the entrance exam and also one of the very few ones who made it to the tournament at the sport festival. 

- Despite that, she doesn’t think that she’s anything special, though she also seems to be self-aware of her own limits. She knows that trailing behind Deku’s shadow will not allow her to bloom, and she’s tried her best to grow on her own while still trying to be a good and supportive friend to him. 

- I will fight anyone who claims she’s just the Main Character’s Love Interest because she’s so much more than that.

- Her whole aesthetic is basically “cute but will kick your butt”, which is a great summary of her entire character tbh. Notice how both times she was required to dress formally she put on a really cute dress, but also tactical gloves. Pink, because she always wears some variation of it, but also fingerless, for quick access to her quirk. 

- She’s canonically the only classmate who’s got closest to figuring out the actual root of Bakugou and Deku’s conflict, as well as the only person who truly seems to understand Bakugou. Not Deku, who always misread everything Katsuki said, and not Kirishima, who never questioned their weird dynamic despite not approving of it, but Ochako. I’ll probably write a meta about this at some point, because no one seems to acknowledge this as a fact.

- The previous point also proves that she’s really perceptive and emotionally mature. 

- Much like most kids in this series, she’s the spitting image of her mom.

- She also takes after her mother’s pink cheeks.

- She’s a bit of a bumbler. She remained completely oblivious to how Izuku was super flustered by her proximity during their first interactions; she completely failed to realize that Kaminari once asked her out on a date; when she gets embarrassed, she hides her face in her hands, accidentally activating her quirk on herself; there are probably more examples but I think you get my point :’D 

- Present Mic had a soft spot for her.

- She’s the poorest girl of the class, but she still managed to make friends with two of the richest kids from class 1-A purely accidentally. #goals

- The preliminary design of her hero costume was a lot different than the current one. 

- Her hair is sort of round and bouncy, not unlike her lively personality. 

- Horikoshi once said that she wears tighs a lot, but the truth is, she only does when she’s wearing the school uniform. In street clothes, she’s seen wearing shorts more than anything else.

- Her preferred workout / house clothing is a black tank top. She’s constantly wearing one in most of the official art, so she probably owns lots of them. 

- Overall, she seems to prefer comfiness over cuteness in her choice of everyday clothing; for example, she seems to be the only girl who canonically wears hoodies from time to time. 

- She also goes from the cute aesthetic to wearing combat boots like it’s nothing. 

- Despite that, when she does dress up, she has a pretty good fashion sense.

A Dream In Red Ch17

A03

As Kirishima’s hands carded through your hair, untangling the unruly locks, you wondered how much touch was too much between friends. He quickly ran his brush through your hair. He took his time, gently untangling and drying your hair. You thought you might have felt babied if it was any other of your friends, but you were oddly okay with Kirishima doing as much as he could for you. You tried to rationalize it, it made him feel better. You felt the occasional cold drop from his still-damp hair as he worked through yours, quickly securing it away from your face.

By the time you had settled back into your makeshift nest, it was around the time that classes left off for the day. Your phone was pinging, your friends checking in on your absence. You could tell by Kirishima’s quick typing that he was getting similar messages. Your phone was placed back on the table next to you, you figured Kirishima could fill in your friends for now.

He settled back into the couch shortly after, letting you lay your head in his lap. This was the calm you grew to expect from your time together, just the two of you in comfortable silence as you watched whatever B movies you could find or playing two-player games together. The silence wouldn’t last, you knew. Your suspicions were correct as you heard a frantic knocking at the door.

Kirishima maneuvered you out of his lap with a sigh, moving to open the door. Unlike your room, Mina didn’t have a spare key for Kirishima. She all but pushed the redhead out of the way as she made her way to you.

“My poor little love bug, what did those big, mean boys do to you?” She curled her arms around your head, pushing your face into the crook of her neck. Kirishima scoffed at Mina’s implication, his tempered anger still slightly spicy on your tongue. Mina wasted no time thoroughly checking you out. Her hand splayed over your face, turning it from side to side. Her hands ran down to the ends of your arms and continued down to your hips. Without concern for the other person in the room, she quickly lifted the hem of your shirt, once again displaying your ripening bruise to Kirishima, who turned swiftly, a soft blush peppering his face.

“Damn, that looks nasty.” Mina pouted as she poked the darkening center. You flinched away with a whine, pushing your shirt back down. Mina had the grace to at least look a bit guilty.

“Like I told Kiri, I’ll be fine in a few days. It’s not like it’s unexpected for our line of work.” Mina nodded, turning back to Kirishima. He had finally turned back to the two of you, the blush still fading. Mina sat against the couch, letting Kirishima reclaim his previous spot. That’s how the three of you spent the evening, ordering take-out and watching movies. Mina’s running dialogue made you curl into yourself with laughter, your ribs aching. It felt nice though, to laugh with them.

It was getting dark out and Mina was getting ready to leave. You stretched out, wincing as your tender skin rebelled against the movement. With a hug and a quick kiss to her cheek, you sent Mina on her way. Kirishima looked at you oddly as you didn’t lay back down, instead, moving to grab your things. He caught your hand, drawing your attention.

“What are you doing?” He spoke softly.

“I’m getting ready to go back to my room, silly.” The two of you hadn’t spent a night together since the fateful party. He rubbed his hand against his neck.

“Oh… yeah. I suppose it is getting late, huh? You… you could stay here tonight?” He didn’t meet your eyes he spoke. You mulled it over before answering. He felt bad for what happened during training, but you didn’t want him to feel like he needed to wait on you hand and foot. Especially since he still had class in the morning.

“It’s alright Kiri. It’s just some bruising. I’m pretty sure I can handle it by myself.” His hand fell from his neck, moving to yours instead. He tilted your head up to meet his eyes. Heat bloomed in your chest like it had earlier that morning. His face was nearing yours, flushed not unlike yours. You couldn’t stand it anymore and your eyes fell closed. You heard your heartbeat in your ears, but his lips didn’t meet yours. Instead, you felt the warm softness of his lips on your crown.

“Yeah, okay. Just… call if you need anything.” You nodded swiftly, keeping your eyes down. You quickly gathered your things into your arms.

You closed your door behind you, flipping the deadbolt and tossing your belongings on the couch. Your bed called, and you flopped face-first into the sheets, instantly regretting your harsh landing. Why did you think he was going to kiss you? You were friends. That was it, wasn’t it? You shouldn’t even be wasting any thought on it. The only time you had done anything, you had also made out with Shinsou and Bakugou. It was easy to get caught up in Shinsou’s passion, you hadn’t had too many kisses like the ones you shared with him. Not to mention the way Bakugou’s arms caged you in later. A familiar heat started to spread through your body. You shouldn’t be thinking of your friends this way. Then Kirishima. His kisses didn’t make you dizzy with passion like Shinsou, he didn’t come at you with all the stubborn fervor that Bakugou had. Even Mina’s kisses left you laughing and your lips tingling, although that may have been partly her quirk’s fault.

Kirishima’s kisses were soft, fragile. Like if you had exhaled too hard, they would fall apart. Surely that meant he didn’t hold those feelings for you? Your head begged you to push these thoughts back down, but your body refused. Even if he didn’t return those kinds of feelings, you couldn’t help but remember how his body felt against yours, or the way his hair splayed over your pillows as you woke up in his arms the next morning.

You refused to indulge these thoughts any further, despite how tightly your legs pressed against each other.

The dreams you had that night were far from your usual. You were pressed up against a wall, your leg hitched up over the hip of your friend as he nipped at your neck. Your hands tangled in lavender hair.

No, not lavender, blonde. The hands that traveled your thighs sparked against you softly, only driving you further into their touch.

No, not sparks, his hands were slick with sweat. Burnt sugar filled your senses and carmine eyes filled your sight. His body was flush with yours, and you couldn’t help but run your hands over the firm planes of his stomach. His kisses consumed you, burning you up from the inside. Brash, heated, just like him.

You didn’t remember how you got to your bed, but he was above you. His eyes boring down into like a predator. His hair brushed against your chin as he sucked a deep purple into your neck.

That wasn’t right either. He didn’t attack your neck so savagely. He moved slowly, almost like he was worried he would scare you away. His hair didn’t brush against your chin, it fell to your clavicle. You could feel his eyelashes against your skin if you focused. Nothing was separating the two of you and his skin felt like fire against yours. You moaned as he moved against you, within you, all around you. Hands tangled in his hair, you brought his face to yours. Kisses deposited all over his face, on his scar. His lips lingered on yours, slow but heady. How could you miss this, his passion was potent but restrained. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel enough for you, but too much.

You fell apart against him, hands tangled in hair and legs wrapped around hips.

In his room, Kirishima awoke with a start. His heart was hammering against his chest. He was flushed and hot, too hot. But most of all the hardness between his legs consumed his attention. He would never tell you about this dream, or why he couldn’t meet your eyes the next morning.

You were already tired of your restrictions, and it wasn’t even midday. You lounged around in the dorm’s common room, messing around on your phone. You weren’t to keen on messaging your friends during their classes, and not many people hung around during the day. You knew Kaminari would ignore the rest of his classes all day if you were to text, but was the one most at risk to fail without your interruptions. Mina was a close second, Sero and Bakugou were too studious to even look at their phones in class. Kirishima… he would drop everything and come back if you messaged him. You already had to convince him you’d be fine before he left this morning. You supposed you could message Tetsu or Shinsou, but you weren’t sure what you’d accomplish that way.

You let your head fall off the edge of the couch with a huff. Maybe messaging Kaminari wasn’t such a terrible idea. Before you could second guess, your fingers flew over the keys and the message was sent. Twenty minutes later, and no response. Maybe he was taking his classes seriously today? You resigned yourself to watching the TV upside down in an effort to entertain yourself. You were just beginning to enjoy the head rush as someone blocked your sight. Tilting your head up, and getting sufficiently light-headed, you met the Cheshire grin of the man in question.

“My poor Pookie is bored?” He cooed down at you. “I knew you couldn’t handle a whole day away from me Cuppycake.” You gingerly lifted yourself to make room on the couch. Kaminari quickly took the offered space, pulling you back into him. He smushed his face into yours excitedly. “A whole day alone with my Peachy-Poo.” Finding the most ridiculous sugary nicknames had become a favorite past time for Kaminari.

“Peachy-Poo? That one isn’t even bad good, ‘Minari.” You chuckled. “At least I know you won’t coddle me all day.” He tried to look offended at your remarks, but his crooked smile broke through easily,

“Well, since you’re not in the mood for coddling, why don’t we sneak ourselves outta here, Pumpkin.” He rose from the couch with you still in his grasp. You laughed as you rushed to find footing as you were drug along. Kaminari took the sneaking seriously. As soon as the two of you cleared the dorm doors, exaggerating his movements as he ducked behind buildings and bushes, peeking around before rushing to the next hiding spot. You walked casually behind him, laughter bubbling up every time you watched him duck and roll between each spot.

He led you out into town, stopping briefly to grab some food from a street vendor. The streets outside of campus were still pretty unfamiliar to you, and your free hand was set firmly in Kaminari’s. It wasn’t unusual for you and your friends at this point, but you were now aware of how differently Kaminari’s hand felt compared to Kirishima. You shook the thought from your head, focusing instead on the peppy blonde next to you.

He weaved you though the streets, stopping to window shop at a few places, but he never stayed too long in one place. You quickly found yourself in a busier part of town. The buildings towered over the simple strip malls and office buildings closer to campus. You gripped Kaminari’s hand a little tighter, more nervous about getting separated. It seemed as though you hit the late lunch rush, as the streets were packed with people moving around, oblivious to the people around them. Large clothing shops and department stores lined the streets, cafes and small restaurants snugly wedged in between. On one of the corners, Kaminari stopped to listen to a street performer, plucking guitar strings while he sang a ballad. People stopped around you for a few moments, sparing any change they could and moving on. Except for Kaminari, you knew by now that the spark in his eyes meant he had some crazy idea.

You weren’t expecting him to pull you so suddenly. All but falling into his chest, you looked up at him in confusion. He grinned down to you, quickly spinning you around and pulling you back to his chest. You couldn’t help the bubbly laughs that escaped you both as you allowed him to lead you in his impromptu dance. You were so lost in your bubble with him that you failed to notice the people stopping to watch you along with the musician.

You came to your senses as the song ended. You were a bit out of breath from twirling and laughing. Now you noticed all the people around you, younger girls staring up at their boyfriends expectantly, older ladies reveling in your youth, and some just enjoying a nice show during their lunch break. You felt the flush of embarrassment creep up your neck as Kaminari dropped a handful of change in the musician’s case. Once the coins fell from his hand, you grabbed his arm, fleeing the crowd.

You dipped into a mall nearby to escape your embarrassment. Kaminari’s hand once again clutched in your own, although the crowds inside were not nearly as tightly packed as the sidewalks outside. Kaminari guided you through some of your favorite stores.

The two of you had fallen into the lure of the mall, emerging a few hours later with a few bags each. Kaminari had even warned you that Mina would probably drag the whole group here to shop for Spring Break in the upcoming weeks and the poor boy was already lamenting the drain on his wallet.

You were determined to escape the mall before you spent the rest of your money, but you couldn’t help but slip into a hero merch store. Maybe one day you’d be resting on the shelves next to Hawks and All Might. That was the dream, wasn’t it? Kaminari wandered through the store, stopping every once in a while, examining a graphic tee before continuing onto the next. You were quite the same, nothing catching your eye too much. Venturing into the back, you found some merch of older heroes. You walked along, brushing your hand along the clothing racks as you walked past.

This merch must have been sitting for a while, faded tees and heavy jackets that didn’t suit the summer weather littered the back. You browsed through the jackets, coming across one that caught your eye. It was a simple bomber jacket embroidered with the silhouette of Crimson Riot and his name down the arms.

“Hey now, I thought this was my lovey-time, Boo Bear,” Kaminari whined behind you, setting his head on your shoulder. “You shouldn’t be looking for stuff for your other boys.” He gave you an exaggerated pout, drawing another chuckle from you. It was way too warm to wear this now… but it would make a nice present when it started getting colder.

You left the store one bag heavier, and your stomach empty. You had to pass by the food court on your way out, so it wouldn’t hurt to look. Kaminari listed off the various chains, counting on his fingers as he walked. You nodded now and again but stopped Kaminari with a hand to his chest.

He looked a little nervous walking in with you. No guy he knew every went into a themed cafe without being on a date. At least this one was game themed. They had little piles of accessories for patrons to use while in the cafe, and you dug through them enthusiastically. Kaminari suddenly found himself wearing a pair of horns, thick bracelets, and various villainous accouterments. Meanwhile, you decked yourself up with flashy baubles and a petite tiara, playing the part of the hapless princess.

You were in heaven. The plates were coins, the dishes were pipes. Your desserts even came in flower pots! It was the only time you could remember taking pictures of your food, as well as the many pictures you took with Kaminari.

It was getting late into the evening, and Kaminari’s phone had been buzzing for the last thirty minutes. He was doing his best to ignore it, so you tried the same. You felt guilty knowing Kirishima was probably wondering where you had snuck off to...

“Hey, Sugar Cake, c’mere for a minute.” Kaminari waved you over, finally surrendering to his phone. You scooted over to his seat, where he pulled you in close for a picture. The way he angled the picture and posed, you could almost believe he was the big baddy ready to eat you up. After he was satisfied with the picture, he saved it to his phone. You watched curiously as he opened up a text from none other than Kirishima. It seems that he had been looking for you, and then Kaminari. You felt bad for not letting him know sooner, but Kaminari didn’t seem to share your feelings. You watched your friend send the newest picture, complete with a caption.

“Sorry, bro. Looks like your princess is in another castle ;)”

BnHA Chapter 202: Rival Break and the 3rd Set

Previously on BnHA: Momo made a giant cannon and used it to fire a bag of emergency supplies over the onomatopoeia wall back to her pals. The bag contained some fungicide which Tokoyami and Hagakure doused themselves with to ward off Toadette’s horrific quirk. It also contained a pair of night vision goggles which Toko used to track down Toadette and Kuroiro. For a moment it looked like he had them both contained, but then Toadette sprouted some mushrooms in Toko’s fucking windpipe, cutting off his air supply and causing him to release them. Meanwhile Kendou showed up to rescue Manga from Hagakure’s flurry of invisible attacks. She’d managed to knock Momo out, but not before Momo sprouted a bunch of steel cables from her left side to tie Kendou up and attach herself to her while she herself was still attached to the giant cannon. So basically she slowed her way down, and tbh they would have had this if Hagakure and Tokoyami (and Aoyama, who got captured before any of them) hadn’t dropped the ball. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But anyway, so the round went to B Team, and now the classes are tied and we’re about to move into the third round.

Today on BnHA: Since Momo and Kendou’s teams absolutely trashed the battlefield, Aizawa and Vlad announce a short break before the start of round 3. All Might takes Deku aside and asks him if things are all right with his quirk. Deku says he’s fine, only to be interrupted by Kacchan who’s all THE FUCK ARE Y’ALL DOING HAVING THIS WEIRD CONVERSATION SO CONSPICUOUSLY and he makes them fill him in. Kacchan’s response to the whole OFA situation is to basically egg Deku on to become stronger already, and it fucking works is the thing, so y’all know this one-page conversation is easily the most “!!!!” I’ve been about this series in fucking ages omg. But anyways, so then round 3 starts up with Team TetsuPonyHoneSen VS Team TodoIidaShoujiRo. Shouto briefly thinks back to when he was like six fucking years old and Endeavor was trying to teach him a new fire technique by being an abusive dick. Shockingly this method didn’t pan out, but Shouto’s been thinking about it again recently since watching his dad battle the Noumu at Fukuoka. Meanwhile Iida is hyped to win since he’s representing his brother as the successor to the Ingenium name. And Tetsu is also hyped because he’s always fucking hyped! So basically everyone is getting ready to do their best and this should be good!

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my mostly-unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’m caught up with the manga now at chapter 223, so any ETAs will reflect that.)

oh wow Toadette is actually offering Tokoyami a throat lozenge like I was joking about earlier. haha. only the reason it was a joke on my part is because I thought it was fairly obvious that a fucking lozenge wasn’t exactly going to do much to help after you sprouted fucking mushrooms all along the inside of his goddamn windpipe! these kids are fucking savages I swear to god. they’re out for blood

anyways he’s still coughing and hacking and she’s telling him to go see Recovery Girl before this turns into one of those hanahaki fics

meanwhile Momo also appears to be ill after using her quirk as much as she did, and she’s shaking and doesn’t seem to be able to stand, so two sarcastic asshole robots are wheeling her off to RG as well

yeah I’m gonna need you two to shut up. were they specifically programmed to be douches? this is someone’s idea of a joke isn’t it

anyways I hope my girl Momo is gonna be okay. Kendou go with her please!

Shinsou’s all “wow everyone got really fucked up” and Aizawa’s just like “yeah that’s just how it goes with hero training” as though this is in any way acceptable lol. well I guess it’s been a little while since U.A. did anything outrageously irresponsible though, so maybe we can cut them some slack this time around. plus ultra?

(ETA: nope I take it back. within three chapters all four teachers will be idly standing by shrugging their shoulders and hoping none of the kids fucking burn to death by accident. lesson learned, never ever cut the U.A. faculty any slack whatsoever.)

btw I almost forgot to mention it but it’s super cute that Shinsou is hanging out next to Aizawa. they have clearly built up some kind of bond by this point, and as usual I’m delighted by any and all instances of Aizawa being a dad

looool

did I mention that Manga’s quirk is seriously unbelievably strong though?? is there an onomatopoeia for “All for One-destroying weapon” that I don’t know about that he could speak into existence perhaps? hmm?

also smh at these teachers being more concerned with the property damage than with the attempted murder. Tokoyami’s fine by the way. but sure let’s scold them for doing some mild damage to your industrial training site which you specifically created for this very purpose

so apparently they’re going to change the stage? or “move the stage” at any rate? does this mean they’re cleaning up the training ground, or are they moving to one of the other areas? I’m not quite clear here

but at any rate, Vlad says they’re going to take a short break which I’m all for because it means more chances for the kids to interact!

look at them interacting!!

so I’m just going to assume the two speech bubbles on the right are Kirishima and Tetsutetsu, yes?

also, Manga, I’m gonna need you to stop whining about how your ultra-powerful and crazy broken quirk gives you a sore throat. fuck outta here with that nonsense son. I assume the only reason no one gave OFA to you is because the series would already be over

Deku is happily taking notes on everyone’s growth while Ochako watches, and it’s super fucking cute. I am shipping this more these days now that she’s not losing her damn mind any time she thinks about him and he’s not on the verge of passing out whenever she gets within two feet of him

and now All Might’s coming to say hi to his apprentice!

are y’all gonna talk some more about the Avatar State. because if you are then I’m the one who’s gonna start taking notes omg

so he’s beckoning Deku over so they can have a quick private chat in the corner

Mina’s all “well aren’t they close~” and I know she’s just making a mild observation, but once again I’m reminded of how these two are just the absolute worst at hiding their secret. like for real though

so All Might’s asking Deku if anything has felt off since their last conversation

and Deku says “nothing in particular”, which is a bit of a curious answer since he could have just gone with a straight “no”

All Might says he’s planning to ask Gran whether or not Shimura ever mentioned anything. I doubt it though, otherwise you’d think he’d have brought it up before now. not everyone is as cagey as you when it comes to passing on vital information

anyways, he says for the time being Deku should take care since he’ll be facing off with Shinsou

and interestingly, he says Shinsou is a piece of the puzzle as far as the Vestiges/Traces are concerned

really? I mean it’s true that Deku first saw them during his initial fight with Shinsou, and now he just so happens to be fighting Shinsou again on the same day that he had that crazy dream. but is that not just a coincidence? how could Shinsou actually be involved with this?

OH MY GOD

(ETA: speaking of onomatopoeia, Kacchan has his very own complete with exclamation point lol. what happens if Manga uses this. do the letters explode)

KEEP KACCHAN IN THE LOOP 2K19!!!! OH MY GOD YES PLEASE THANK YOU MANGA GODS

holy shit I was wondering if he was gonna get annoyed since he could hardly fail to notice them sneaking off to chat while he was right fucking there

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OH MY GOD YOU GUYSSSSSS

IT DID!!!! AND NOW THEY’RE FINALLY GONNA TELL HIM WHEEEEE

oh my god. Kacchan/Deku rivalry. it has been so fucking long you guys. it’s been 80 fucking chapters!!

things I love:

DON’T KEEP ANY MORE SECRETS FROM KACCHAN ABOUT ONE FOR ALL, HE OFFICIALLY GETS ANNOYED ABOUT IT. HE WANTS TO KNOW SO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP HIM POSTED

for reals though, he’s making sure they remember that he’s part of the OFA squad now. that wasn’t just a one-time thing, he wants to actively be involved. I don’t know if they actually realized this before, but now they’re aware so I hope Deku tells him the next time without having to be asked

also him yelling at them to be more fucking secretive for christ’s sake lol. RIGHT?

and him immediately getting competitive and reminding Deku of what his goals are. they always do this with each other, and it’s honestly so important. the shounen rival relationship is, at its core, one of constant growth. if done right, the two rivals will each be the one person who can always unfailingly push the other when they think they can’t go any further, and nudge the other back on track whenever they start to go astray. and that is so, so important, and it’s especially important for them to keep establishing this relationship now, when for once things are actually calm and there aren’t any villain plots or other angsty things going down for the time being. because this quiet period is not going to last. and there will come a time when Izuku will need this type of push again, when the fate of the world might even depend on it. they help each other to focus and they keep each other grounded, and this shit right here is why it’s my favorite relationship, and I can’t say enough good things about it

lastly, this is fairly subtle, but you can see that this is Katsuki’s way of reassuring him. like, he realized Izuku was... not unsettled, exactly, but certainly confused and still trying to figure out what the hell is going on. so he immediately sets onto distracting him. and I’ve gotten completely distracted by my own excited ramblings and I haven’t even finished the damn conversation yet, but I bet you anything that it worked, too. because that’s the power of rivals, dammit

yeppppp

I fucking love it you guys. every damn time. this is what keeps sucking me back in. this is why I’m reading. give me some good old fashioned shounen rivals showing their concern for one another in the most indirect way possible and it fucking works

PREACH IT ALL MIGHT!

NO, HE DEFINITELY IS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’M SAYING. SEE, ALL MIGHT GETS IT

like, I don’t really have much more to add other than what I already said, lol. although I will say I’m fairly sure that not only is he not actually pissed off, but he’s actually relieved that Deku did smile, and it was the exact effect he was going for, which is why he called attention to it before immediately trying to play it off like h was mad

anyway, so that was everything to me you guys, but the show must go on, and we are now all set to begin round 3! and it looks like we will be staying in Ground Gamma and that they’ve just relocated to a different part of the stage, or something. idk

so Sen is the only guy in this round who we haven’t already met, although I don’t think we actually know Pony’s quirk. Honenuki’s quirk is of course the quicksand quirk of cavalry battle fame, and I’m looking forward to seeing that in action again

meanwhile they’re up against these legends!

once again I can’t for the life of me figure out how they can possibly screw this up. but we know they will somehow! guess they’ll just have to get creative

and now a quick flashback of Tokoyami, who you can tell is feeling better because he’s coming up to Todoroki and just rambling on and on for no real reason

no you don’t you boob. calm the fuck down man. go eat some ice cream and lie down

well what have we here

friendly reminder that I ship these two. by this point I think I ship Todoroki with almost as many people as Bakugou and I’m not quite sure how that happened. this boy is more social than I give him credit for

so now Shouto’s thinking back to his dad’s battle against High N’ Tight Noumu

and what’s this?

the prominence burn thing? or the flying thing? I personally think he ought to learn the flying thing first

and now some flashbacks to Endeavor being abusive

jesus christ. please tell me Shouto is smoking from his own quirk. please tell me you didn’t actually set your child on fire you utter trashpile of a man

and what the hell is with the shinai? because the fire wasn’t fucking enough??

props to Horikoshi though for showing this. it’s not pleasant to see, but the fact that he doesn’t shy away from it even after starting Endeavor’s redemption arc is really important. none of his past deeds have been erased. he’s not pretending it didn’t happen or that it’s okay now because things are finally starting to get better. it’s such a fucking mess, and I really, really appreciate that we’re being confronted with it even now and nothing is being swept under any proverbial rugs

correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like this is pretty rare for redemption arcs, both in Eastern and Western media. usually once the former bad guy starts down the right path, the story stops addressing those past sins, presumably in the hope that audiences will eventually forget about them. but not only is Horikoshi not doing that, he’s actively showing us the bad shit again in vivid detail, the resulting effect being something like “hey, just in case you forgot...”

anyway, so here’s more confirmation that Todoroki Touya is in fact Dabi

just fucking confirm it already you cowards. it’s not like you’re trying to hide it; you purposely alluded to it so overtly at the end of the Endeavorhawks arc that no one could possibly fail to miss it. so I really don’t know why you’re playing games with it at this juncture. he must have some sort of plan here but idk

anyway, he says that Shouto is the one, and that he can pass this technique on to him and only him

I wonder if Touya accidentally immolated himself with a failed prominence burn. god I want to know what happened so bad uggghhhh

ahhhhhhh

they’re so cute omg

Ojiro says he had no idea anything was wrong because Todoroki’s expression “never really changes that much”, and he’s impressed Iida could tell

it’s because they’re lovers, Ojiro! but not really, but do you agree with me that they should be? because if not then I really don’t know why you’re wasting my time here tail boy

Iida’s all “but of course!” and says he’s the class president and is always there to lend a hand to a classmate in need. and sure. but also, lovers

AHHHHHH

SUDDEN TENSEI MENTION MY HEART WASN’T READYYYY

(ETA: his face is so cute here too oh my god. fucking adorable.)

so now he’s putting on his helmet, and he says he’s also representing Ingenium’s good name

is this in reference to what Tokoyami said earlier about him and Todo representing the #1 and #2 heroes? did your feelings get hurt bud lol

and he’s reminding everyone that he placed third in the sports festival, “so allow me to show you all!”

damn, somebody sure is fired up

you better watch it son, this enthused 40-year-old nerd is stealing your boyfriend before our very eyes

now we’re cutting to class B!

and Tetsutetsu is also all fired up!

no one thinks you’re dumb, Tetsu! just passionate!

lol but he is acknowledging that this is one of the less strategically balanced class B teams

but he has a plan to address that!

kick some ass!!

yessssssss

and stfu Sen. he has exactly one specialty so of course he’s gonna lean into it. nothing wrong with that

now I’m honestly starting to wonder how he would fare against Todoroki. he might be the only one who could actually stand up to the Prominence Burn attack if it turns out Shouto does have it

...or he might melt. but surely Shouto wouldn’t actually fire a potentially lethal blow during a training exercise... right?

(ETA: ...)

so now Vlad is grumbling about how THEY JUST SAID not to destroy the whole fucking stage, and here Tetsu is, destroying the stage

nice hero name! but it definitely is a misspelling! I’m sure it’ll be corrected at some point later on though

lol this group is something else

this is definitely my favorite class B team to date lol. and Honenuki’s personality is in such stark contrast to his somewhat terrifying appearance, who knew

also props to my boy Sen for having the appropriate reaction to being pitted against Todoroki freaking Shouto. though you could have had it worse, bud! it could have been Bakugou or Deku. at least you guys are somehow going to win which I still can’t get over

lol because it’s literally their only choice given the makeup of their team

well, bring it on!

Prompt 20: Bisect | TW: Somewhat Graphically Described Death, Blood

“You broke Eisentänzer.” Maye’s eyes started to go red, holding the handle of her solid steel axe in a grip that would make a vice jealous. Her shoulders shook as the double-sided head hit the ground with a rock-splitting thud. “You. Broke. My. AXE.”

The Roegadyn commander laughed as he prepared to swing again at the little Miqo’te woman. “That’s what you deserve, savage little slut. See here, Doman, this is why you don’t get attached to them! They’re nothing but filthy back-stabbing ungrateful oathbreakers!” His Magitek axe began to glow red with heat right along the sharpened edge, steaming as it came down to split Maye in half.

Despite their differences, Tetsu screamed to warn her of the danger.

Maye didn’t even hear him.

She didn’t roll out of the way, she didn’t scream or dodge. Maye reached up. The five-foot-nothing Miqo’te woman reached up, and stopped the blade with her hands, using her own aether to ignore the heat. “YOU.” The axe was ripped from his hands and thrown aside, useless in the sand. “BROKE.” Her mythril plated boots found his knee first- then the weakness between his legs. “MY.” With the commander disabled, Maye picked up the handle of her ruined weapon and smashed his helmet in with one well aimed blow. “AXE!”

Then she kept swinging.

She didn’t stop until well after his brains were splattered across the sands. When the rage finally passed she collapsed and screamed. “She was custom made! I bought her with the first paycheck I’d ever got! I named her! She was mine! Mine! Mine! How dare you break my things? No one ever breaks my things! Do you hear me! Do- do you- do you…” Her screams slowly turned into sobs, until Tetsu finally dared pick up the Magitek Axe and bring it to the mourning Miqo’te.

“Hime…?” She looked up at him bitter at first, until he held the blade out to her.

“Oh-” Like the sun peeking through the clouds after a terrible storm, her eyes lit up and she smiled at him. “Thank you.” Instead of taking the new axe she took him into an embrace, smiling happily. “You’re so thoughtful. You’re a wonderful mate.”

Her lips press against his cheek and he relaxed a bit, “We have to make me look dead.”

“Oh that part’s easy.” She whistled for one of the other huntresses to bring the corpse they’d found. “We’re burning the lot of them so the whole group looks dead. Now strip so we can dress ‘em up in your clothes, my lovely Shadow.”

At this point? With that axe in her hand, the H-tribe backing her up, and his entire scouting group and commander dead? Tetsu wasn’t about to say no.

Something About You Turns Me Into A Savage

Tetsutesu knew very well that Monoma did not like the rebels in Sector A in the least (nobody knew why, when they asked him he only lost himself in more insults against Sector A) and that, therefore, he would not look kindly on that he was soso... pending? In love? obsessed? Dead of love and lust? Eh, some of the above or all together, by one of them, even less the one who was the best friend of "that rabid and ignorant dog" how Monoma called him.

But how was he supposed to avoid it? Kirishima was beautiful, strong and masculine, you would see that in a instant. He felt fortunate, and at the same time confused, that no one else was fighting for the redhead's attentions.

He just wanted those eyes like rubies on him, to see that smile with teeth as sharp as his own directed to him, maybe feel those same teeth sinking into his nec- No, no, Tetsu, do not deviate more than you already do.

It was a disaster. He knew it. Anyone within a radius of fifty meters could realize how bad it was and it was only a matter of time before one of his colleagues told Monoma and he suffered the worst verbal beating of his life. But he could not help it, okay? His brain had some switch that he had not been aware of until he knew Kirishima and now there was no way to turn it off.

And on top of that, there was not even an opportunity to get away (not that he wanted to), not with the amount of work they were assigned together. At least he could thank that, being more brute force than strategy, he did not have to fear ruining everything because his whole attention was on Kiri (was not it lovely that he let him call him that? God, the boy was perfect).

And if he pressed himself a little more to brag about everything he could break with his own hands and get a "Amazing, bro!" Well, that only helped finish the job faster, right?

"When you're with him, you become a real brute," Awase had once told him.

"And, please, control those looks that you send him. I do not need such a broad view of what goes through your head, even less when you're eating him with your eyes," Honenuki added.

Umph! He would see them when they were in love! Then he would complain so much that he would leave Monoma's speeches to shame.

... maybe not so much, that would be too cruel.

"That was a job well done!" Kirishima's voice was like a siren song that reminded him that he should be watching him 24/7.

The redhead was smiling at him, his torso was shining with the accumulated sweat after being destroying things for several hours and his face had a red tinge from the effort (he supposed he was in a similar state).

He was the most beautiful person on the face of the Earth.

"Y-You can bet it, Kiri!" He responded with a minimum of hesitation, forcing his face to show a friendly smile, instead of that of a fool in love "It will take months to rebuild all this!"

The redhead laughed with good spirits, certainly anything that made the life of the Guards worse deserved a good laugh.

He noticed, how he noticed everything about the other, an accumulation of dust on Kiri's right cheek and, he swore by everything, he was not lying, extended a hand to try to clean it ... only that, apparently, his body had other plans and he found trapping the opposite jaw in a firm grip and kissing Kirishima with more savagery than he had ever exhibited.

He had a microsecond of absolute panic when his mind reached his body in the reasoning department, but it flew away with the breeze when Kirishima began to respond with the same fervor.

He supposed he could apologize later, if Kiri even wanted an apology (he doubted it). And if someone asked why he had several cuts on his lips, he would be very proud to answer with the truth.

[austempered]

🌗

Send 🌗 for your muse to see a side of mine that they probably won’t ever see [ACCEPTING]

[**Note: This answer is set in the Yakuza!AU I developed with King’s Overhaul.**]

The foot traffic in Shibuya gave them a wide berth, a pair of thugs parting a sea of bodies thanks to their general air and distinctive style of fashion. The youngest of the two barely out of high school, but climbing the ladder to greatness- The lofty rank and status of a true ‘made man’.

They came to a halt just outside of a local jewelry store in the underground mall near the train station, eyeing a middle-aged man who appeared to be locking up for a mid-afternoon lunch break. 

Emon Anai. An overweight, wet dishtowel of a man they had recently been hitting up for ‘protection’ funds.

Nodding to his partner, Tetsutetsu took the lead and wrapped a heavy, well-muscled arm around the store owner’s neck and shoulders. 

“You’re lookin’ mighty happy with yourself, score a good deal in the diamond district today?” Tetsu asked in a far too friendly manner as he lead Emon down into a side alley, tailed closely by his family associate, Nobu.

In an instant, his scarred knuckles had connected with the bridge of Anai’s nose- a sickening crack echoing off the tiled walls as fresh rivulets of blood dribbled down the front of the elder man’s lips. Emon crumpled like rice paper onto the floor, holding the front of his face as miserable tears began to well up within his wide and panicked eyes.

He hated how weak Anai was, how easily his own anger boiled over into something not strictly ‘for the sake of business’. Something more… personal. 

Had his spineless loser of a father cried and pissed himself just like this, before Chisaki ended his pitiful excuse for a life?

“Haul that lard-ass of yours downtown to our accountant, or I’ll really give you somethin’ to fuckin’ cry about- You think you can just walk all over us?” the younger man roared, pulling back his right leg to savagely drive the pointed tip of his sharkskin brogue into Anai’s side.

Upper lip pulled back in an ugly snarl of disgust, Tetsu gestured vaguely in his kyoudai, who yawned in a tired fashion and tapped his index finger against the face of his Rolex.

“Look at that-  Even my aniki here can’t stand to listen to you squeal, you fat fuckin’ pig… Maybe I should send him along to keep you in line, huh? He’s a lot less patient than me-” he threatened, flecks of angry spit falling from his lips.

Emon’s eyes widened in abject terror, veiny and bug-like. He curled up into himself and sobbed violently, prostrating herself at Tetsu’s feet and pulling desperately at the hem of the boy’s suit slacks.

“N-no, PLEASE- I’ll pay!”

The Steel-quirked teen relaxed like a dog set to heel and folded his arms across the broadness of his chest, tiny flecks of crimson dotting the fine silk of his jacket sleeves.

“I’ll pay…”

[tachiaku]

Hey! I just got into all of these guys from watching high&low! Can you give me some mvs and maybe vids to learn more about them? Your posts are awesome and I want to learn more!! Thanks!

ooh man... i’m stupid actually and don’t know much about each member of each group, mostly i just follow my select favorites, so if you want to learn about them as people with their personalities and such you should page @apotatowhenever because she knows so much or you can look in the tags i have for each group which are just like, their group names!

but i can give you lots of mvs to watch

the rest of this is under a cut because it got hella long.

a few rapid things: the following groups are managed by an entertainment company known as LDH short for love dream happiness. i’ve listed them as separate groups but there are two larger groups made up of these members known as exile and exile tribe. unlike in kpop, where every member sings and dances, ldh focuses on a model of having vocalists and performers.

vocalists, of course, sing. performers focus on dancing. this allows for a really unique presentation especially in concerts because it allows people to specialize in their skill instead of struggling to sing while dancing complicated routines. all of the groups i follow have at least two vocalists and the rampage has three so there’s still plenty of variety and harmony in the singing and this also ensures the vocalists get more lines as well.

also, members get moved around a lot. some of them leave the groups as well, so in some of the older videos especially for exile, you’re going to see guys who aren’t in the current group. other members are added to different groups. a few guys graduated from the acting troupe to join the performance groups.

quick notes on the members who are actually in high & low:

Because this damned thing has been dragging on for months, I decided I was finishing it this weekend. So.

FGO fusion, part 5

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4

He rather thinks Aomine will spend some time avoiding him. He wouldn’t blame him. It didn’t even concern Tetsuya and yet he’s been having trouble dealing with it.

He’s wrong. Aomine comes knocking on his door a few days later. Tetsuya opens and stares.

And stares.

“Are you going to let me in or what?”

Tetsuya shakes himself back into awareness. “Of course.” He pushes himself out of the doorway.

Aomine walks right in, slamming the door close with a bit more force than necessary. Trapping them in there, maybe. Or at least it feels like it.

Tetsuya starts talking when it becomes evident that Aomine won’t. “Can I help you with something?”

Aomine snorts. “You already did, didn’t you.”

Tetsuya shrugs. He doesn’t know what else to do.

“Why did you even bother? I don’t get it.”

Tetsuya remembers the dreams. How wild Aomine was. How much hurt he seemed to be carrying. How he can’t help but feel like he’s the cause of it, how every look at him must be like a stab wound. “Maybe the other me would have been a useful Servant.”

“Yeah, right. You literally asked if I thought he could turn up as a Servant and I said no, and you went with it anyway because who cares what I say, right?”

When he says it like that. “I just wanted to help.”

Aomine sighs. “I know. What I don’t know is why you bothered.”

“You were in pain.”

“I’m just another Servant to you.”

“I helped out other Servants before.”

“Not like this, and you know it. You wouldn’t let yourself be possessed for Gilgamesh or Elizabeth.”

Tetsuya shudders at the idea. “It was by myself, sort of. It’s not the same. I probably can trust myself not to abuse… myself…” Now this is weird.

“Yeah, you left that up to me.”

Damn him, he just had to bring that up. Tetsuya had been trying so hard to ignore he’d kissed those lips.

“Stop blushing, you look just like he did when I was teasing him and it’s messing with me.”

Tetsuya struggles through his embarrassment to answer. “I’ll stop blushing if we stop talking about this.”

“Too fucking bad for you then cause we’re talking about this. You basically set yourself up for this to happen anyway, so deal with it.”

Well, he’s right. He did. He really didn’t think this through. In his head: yes, there might be some kissing, maybe some heavy petting, but Aomine is attractive. He can deal with that. Hopefully it will help Aomine get over his trauma and they can put those strange dreams behind them.

Reality: he now knows intimately how it feels to be loved by Aomine and it’s troubling him. Tetsuya cannot afford distraction. He’s trying to save the world here. Plus, he has no idea how Aomine took it.

“Fine. I did know this was a possibility. I accepted it, so it’s nothing for you to worry about.”

“That’s not what I… I’m not going to finish that sentence, it’d make me sound like an asshole.”

From what Tetsuya can guess, yes, yes it would.

“You let himself be possessed by my… by Tetsu. How I am supposed to look at you and not remember him now?”

“Could you before?”

Silence follows. Tetsuya gives himself a point.

Finally, so low he almost doesn’t hear it. “It’s worse now.”

“I could free you.”

Aomine raises his head. “What.”

“I could release you from your contract. You’d go back to the Throne. No more me. I have plenty of Servants. I don’t need you.”

Before he knows it, he finds himself plastered to the wall, Aomine holding his wrists over his head. Aomine’s eyes are savage. “Don’t say that.”

Tetsuya curses under his breath. Apparently his summoning wasn’t enough to placate him if a few words trigger this response. “I’m not him. Aomine, I’m not.”

The lack of honorifics has the desired effects. Aomine calms down a little.

Just a little. “Please let me go.” Aomine’s hands are so big around its wrists.

“Tetsu would have done the same thing, you know.”

“…What.”

“Trying to save the world against all odds. Sacrificing himself to help someone else.”

That wasn’t much of a sacrifice, really. How can it not cross his mind that they might also have similar preferences. “We are different versions of the same person, so that isn’t strange, but we’re not the same. I’m not him.”

One of Aomine’s hands starts trailing down his arm, and Tetsuya becomes abruptly aware that he’s still being pressed against the wall by Aomine’s towering body. 

How can someone, even a heroic spirit, generates so much warmth?

From this close, Aomine’s voice reverberates through Tetsuya. “You might as well be. You’re the same in all the ways that matter. Well, except you don’t play basketball.”

“I could learn.”

The moments the words escape his lips, Tetsuya is appalled. Here they are, and he’s suggesting they play basketball? What was he even thinking? Is he an idiot? He doesn’t have the time for basketball!

“You could! I could get the team together, and I’d get Akashi to create a reality marble with a court in it! It’d be great! I bet you’d be as good as Tetsu in no time! Not that that’d be hard!”

Oh god, he unleashed a monster.

Good distraction though. “Please don’t make Akashi waste his time on a basketball reality marble.” He tugs on his wrists, but no, Aomine is still holding on tight. Tetsuya starts thinking of minor spells he could use to surprise him into letting go.

Sadly, his pulling has attracted Aomine’s attention again. Tetsuya feels the weight of all of it like a third hand wandering on his skin. “I wonder if you have other common points with Tetsu.”

Divert, divert. “I suppose we have many. Maybe we can talk about it another time, after you let me go?”

“Or we could find out now.”

Too fast for Tetsuya to react, Aomine lowers himself and starts worrying at a spot just under his ear that has Tetsuya gasps and clings to Aomine’s shirt in reflex.

He had no idea he had this weak spot. Shocked, he raises his eyes to meet Aomine’s blown pupils and he doesn’t think. He just reacts. “Get out. Now!”

With all the power of a command spell, Aomine can only blink before he disappears, unable to fight the compulsion.

Tetsuya’s knees give a few seconds later. He slowly crumbles to the floor of his room.

Damn it all.

Part 6 (end)

[tobioisbae]

kuroken for the domestic meme?

Ohohoho anon, am I glad you said kuroken

who is afraid for the in laws:

Neither.

Kenma’s parents love Kuroo. Whenever he comes over to their house (which is, you know, a lot) he always ends up chatting with them before going to Kenma’s room. With the dad he talks about school and eventually university, while with the mom they mostly talk about Kenma lol. Like, I see his mother wanting to know how Kenma’s doing at school and with volleyball and all and Kuroo’s all ‘nah, don’t worry about him, he’s doing great, he’s amazing’ and from there on they just keep talking about how great Kenma is.

With Kenma, he really wants Kuroo’s parents to like him when he first meets them. He’s super worried he’ll make a bad first impression (he always is, whenever he’s around new people, but this is different, even if young Kenma doesn’t know why) and he doesn’t even bring his console when he goes to Kuroo’s house. Kuroo’s parents think he’s cute, adorable even, but Tetsu-chan, why is he so nervous??? Kuroo of course notices Kenma’s fidgeting more than usual so one day as they’re walking home after school he tells Kenma he can bring his games and stuff since he knows they’re a big part of him and his parents won’t mind, really, so calm down already you nerd. (”who are you calling a nerd, Kuro, have you seen yourself”) Eventually Kenma goes to Kuroo’s house and plays his games and it’s all good until Kuroo’s mother comes home and wants to see what’s he playing. He’s worried, naturally, but turns out he had absolutely no reason to be; Kuroo’s mom is actually super impressed and even asks Kenma to teach her and Kuro, stop laughing, I will end you.

who cooks:

Listen. 

Kenma can cook.

Kenma has mad cooking skills.

No one knows, except for his parents, and he likes it that way since he doesn’t really want to cook (too much work), and it’s all good until Kuroo finds out which happens completely by accident. From then on, he keeps asking Kenma to cook something for him and the thing is, Kenma can’t really refuse because Kuroo is always so happy whenever Kenma makes him something and he’s always exaggerating how good it is which is embarrassing, yeah, but also kind of cute. So Kenma would occasionally cook something for him. He tries to pass it off as something casual (it would’ve gone bad if I hadn’t used it, that would’ve been a waste, it just happened to be lying around) but Kuroo knows.

Speaking of Kuroo, he can make sandwiches and like, cereal, and when Kenma firsts visits him in university he’s horrified. (”Kuro, you’re an athlete, you can’t live on snacks” “Kenma, I know that, I’m not stupid. We also have takeout” “…”) He starts sending Kuroo food after that.

who steals the covers:

Kenma. 

It doesn’t really bother Kuroo since Kenma’s also very cuddly so it’s not like Kuroo’s cold. In fact, he finds it cute (but he also always teases Kenma about it to which Kenma scowls but like, he can’t say anything cause it’s true)(“it’s okay, you’re better than any blanket” “…”)

who is more protective:

Both are hella protective but in a lowkey way, if that makes sense lol.

Kuroo mostly lets Kenma fights his own battles because he knows Kenma’s a savage capable of defending himself but sometimes… well, he can’t really help it. He mostly does his intimidating thing where he smiles while trash talking whoever did/said something to Kenma and people think he’s actually scary but most of the time Kenma’s like “you’re embarrassing………. but thanks” and then they share Soft Smiles™

We all know Kenma doesn’t like to stand out so he’s quiet most of the time, even when he hears people talk shit. The thing is, it feels horrible if he knows someone’s talking behind his back but he doesn’t really say anything because he knows it’s not worth it, okay, he knows he can’t control what others think and say and whatever. So he stays silent.

But boy, if someone insults Kuroo or even makes the slightest jab at him they better brace themselves for Kenma’s Eyes of Doom (it’s a stupid name Kuro came up with) and if he’s feeling especially protective a biting remark or two. He doesn’t say a lot but when he does it counts and the other person realizes like five hours later “… holy shit i got rekt”

who swears more: 

Kuroo in general swears more but sometimes, if a game is a bit too challenging Kenma swears too. Idk I don’t really have any particular headcanons about that

nicknames for each other:

Do I even have to say anything, we already have Kuro in canon (a blessing, honestly).

But seriously, they mostly call each other Kuro and Kenma, with the occasional nerd and loser lol. It’s v affectionate tho so those really feel like cute petnames which confuses Lev because Kuroo-san, you called Kenma a loser which is used as an offensive nickname, is it not? Then why are you smiling and looking at him so fondly???

who remembers dates and times of events:

Both remember dates. Though Kenma likes to mess with Kuroo sometimes, pretending he’s forgot an important date or something and then after Kuroo’s done sulking he just come with the most amazing gift or date plan or something and goes “gotcha” with like a super falt expression but he’s also kinda smiling and Kuroo just groans because he falls for it every single time.

Times of events are a whole other matter. They both suck at remembering those, and they always bicker about it. “Kuro, the coach said 8.15” “uhm, no, I’m pretty sure that was 9.15” “why would he say 9.15, that makes no sense” “how does 8.15 make more sense????” it ended up being 8.45 rip kuroo and kenma

who sleeps in more:

Kuroo. 

I mean. It’s canon Kenma gets up early to play games, he won’t give up his game time for shit like sleep. Obviously.

Kuroo, on the other hand, loves sleeping. Sleeping’s great. Sleeping’s the best. He sleeps in as often as he can which isn’t nearly enough!!! At this point he doesn’t even try convincing Kenma to stay in bed with him, he knows it’s pointless lol.

But there are those rare times (in-between game releases probably) where Kenma will stay in bed and Kuroo gets to wake up with Kenma in his arms and now that’s truly it’s the best.

who is more cuddly:

Do you think I’m gonna say Kuroo? Yeah, no. No one can beat the cuddly-ness of Kozume Kenma. He’s like a cuddle monster. He’ll always snuggle into Kuroo whenever they’re at home, chilling, and his favourite place to play games is in Kuroo’s arms and I already mentioned he cuddles up to Kuroo in his sleep too.

Cuddly Kozume Kenma. Just think about it.

who is more of a dork:

I honestly can’t tell. They’re both dorks. Their dorkiness level is off the charts.

a head canon:

They’re that one one-in-a-million couple that starts dating in high school and ends up together and they live happily ever after

Send me more ships for the domestic meme, it’s fun!!

Summary: Tetsuya isn’t sure why he thought it was a good idea to invite Shige to a casual game of basketball with the GoM. Surprisingly, it’s off the court where things get painful. He should have thought real long and hard before he opened his mouth.

AO3 or Fanfiction

He's doing it on purpose.

Shige is a lot of things, and a traitorous bastard is definitely one of them.

"-and do you know what he does next?" He's grinning, gesturing animatedly and completely enrapturing his audience. Even Akashi is listening with a smile as they sit down at the side of the street court, void of any other occupants but the rest of the Miracles as they break for halftime.

"No, what?" God, he wants to gouge out Aomine's eyes. The way he keeps glancing at him with a wide grin on his face, clearly enjoying every second of his humiliation is just awful.

"He put it back!" Shige barely manages to finish before breaking down into hysterics, putting a hand to his face in a vain attempt to control himself.

Momoi is scandalized, turning to him with a new light in her eyes. "Tetsu-kun!"

"Oh my god! Kurokocchi was wild!" Kise has literal tears in his eyes, face reddened beyond the point of being attractive and Tetsuya is fairly tempted to take a photo and post it online.

Even Akashi and Murasakibara are laughing at his expense. Far more contained than Aomine or Shige, but it's still awful. All of this is just awful. He never should have made them get along, he should have insisted that the damage was far too great and let things stay awkward. At least Midorima has the decency to pretend he's drinking from his water bottle. The level of liquid was hardly decreasing though, and the slight dribble of water running down his neck proved he's definitely having some trouble actually getting anything down, but his farce is a mercy compared to everyone else.

Shige is still gasping for air as he starts speaking again, and Tetsuya really hopes he chokes on his next breath. "Tetsuya was such a little- Oh! Oh! I got another one!" He's incensed all over again, arms flailing in his excitement to further drag his best friend's name in the mud. His life is one long example of 'Who needs enemies when you have friends like these.'

His old teammates, like the savage pack of wolves they are, frenzy at the scent of fresh blood and demand to hear the next story. He doesn't like the gleam in Shige's eyes, like he's sizing up what piece of Tetsuya's dignity to cut out and serve next. "Remember that time we went to Shizune-chan's house?"

No.

This is where he draws the line.

"Don't you dare Shige-kun." He hopes the visible frown on his face is enough to deter him, but he must be able to see the fear in his eyes as well because Shige isn't deterred in the slightest.

"Oh, so you want me to tell The River Story?"

It's not like he doesn't have dirt on Shige either. There's the time he picked up rabbit poop because someone convinced him it was chocolate. There was the time he gushed about his crush, not knowing they were well within earshot. There was the time his pants fell in the middle of the playground, tugging down his underwear with them. He definitely has stories of equal mortification to tell about Shige, but the audience renders the scale useless when they definitely want to hear embarrassing things about him. Maybe after a couple more meetings they'll be on even footing, but right now Shige knows he has the upper hand and is milking it for all its worth. He hates it, but Tetsuya has to concede it's his victory.

He wilts, hunching into himself in defeat. "You suck."

"And you swallow."

It's a kneejerk reaction.

"Bet your dad told you all about it."

Instant regret.

It's one of those moments you wish you could travel back in time, and slit your own throat. He did not mean to say that, it was just far too easy to fall back into old patterns and he may act a little crasser with Shige.

Midorima sprays his drink all over Kise's face but the blond was hardly bothered as he gaped at the phantom man. For a moment, everyone is looking at him with wide eyes. Of course, Shige is the one to start the avalanche of laughter. If he thought they were in hysterics earlier, he obviously didn't know the meaning of the word until now. Kise is clutching his sides now as if he's going to burst at the seams and Momoi has transcended from giggling to these guinea pig like squeaks. Murasakibara's clearly crushed the bag of cracker snacks that he's been clutching in his hand as he laughs just as openly as everyone else. Even Akashi's cheeks are rosy from the exertion as he appraises him with new eyes, Shige and Aomine's booming cackles impossible to ignore on top of it all. He is well aware that he's blushing a bright red that puts Akashi's hair to shame.

"I…I didn't mean for that to come out of my mouth."

"You sure meant for him to cum in it." He's definitely going to punch Aomine.

Dear lord.

Midorima is clearly his only true friend. He's laughing as well, but he's snorting in his effort to keep quiet. Tetsuya can appreciate the attempt. Midorima will survive.

Yes, not even Akashi will have the privilege of mercy.

"Oh god Tetsuya! Couldn't have done it better myself!" Shige is positively glowing, and he has the audacity to pat him on the back after all this.

"Not that that means much." Bitter? Who's bitter? Never met them in his life.

Aomine cringes in faux sympathy, dabbing away the moisture around his eyes with mirth still shaking his frame. "Ouch Tetsu, where's all this coming from?"

"The same place as your endless stupidity. That is to say, it's been here all along." It may have been a little unwarranted, but he's pretty sure he's allowed to fire some shots after being the target of a group roast session for the last fifteen minutes.

"Oi!"

"Geez Tetsuya, who jizzed in your cereal? Oh wait, my dad apparently."

"You're all dead to me, even Momoi-san. Midorima-kun is my new favourite."

"Eh? I'm sorry Tetsu-kun!"

"Kurokocchi why!?"

"Wait, who was your old favourite?"

"Kagami-kun."

"What? He's not even part of this group!"

"And doesn't that show just how low you all rank."

((For the rest of the day, they proceed to make 'That's what Kuroko said' jokes and everyone but Momoi and Midorima take a basketball to the face and/or gut during the last half of the game.))

“Intruder alert.”

It only took Ryou a second to realize that the alert wasn’t for a physical intruder. Someone was trying to hack their way through his system.

“Hold on,” Ryou said softly, disabling some of his firewalls. “Let them come to me. I want to see what they’re trying.”

Between the updates his computer gave him and the files Ryou saw opening, he could see the hacker’s style. By the time his opponent opened the video chat function, Ryou was already ready for him.

“Hello, Shunpei.”

“Can’t sneak up on you, can I?” Sanada grinned, grey eyes flashing in the light of his own screen.

“You know you could just call,” Ryou said evenly. “I gave you access to my comm. link a year ago.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” Sanada asked. Ryou just waited patiently. “What? Not happy to see me?”

“I don’t appreciate being interrupted,” Ryou said. “I was working.”

“You were monitoring.”

“That’s working.”

“Want something more interesting?”

Ryou sat closer to his screen. Even if his relationship with Sanada wasn’t simple, it had gotten better in the year since he’d come back from the dead. They’d worked together on a few projects, and sometimes it even felt friendly. Brotherly.

If Sanada wanted to share information, it was probably something good.

“So get this,” Sanada said, leaning back casually in his seat. “There’s a buzz in the circles I move in. A couple of the bigger drug dealers are hosting a Halloween party. Costumes strictly required.”

“That’s interesting to me how?” Ryou asked.

“It’s interesting because it’s all a front,” Sanada said. “It’s a networking event, and if I’m right, there’s gonna be some big players in attendance.”

“Big in terms of Gotham, or…?”

“Big as in I have it on good authority that Vandal Savage will be there.” That had Ryou’s attention. “Yep. Thought you’d like that.”

“Not that I’m not happy for the head’s up, but why?” Ryou asked. “This feels like more your thing than mine. And I’m short staffed until the Justice League gets back from the other side of the universe. You know that.”

“So am I, and I don’t have the staff you do,” Sanada said. “My go-to for spy shit is still on medical leave, and Tetsu isn’t exactly the best choice for covert on his own.”

“Subtlety’s a little lost on him,” Ryou agreed. “And I thought Katsuko was back in action.”

“She’s still coming back from ‘trying to live a normal life’ or whatever,” Sanada scoffed. “Like any of us are built for a normal life. Anyways, nobody on my team’s up for this one.”

“And you’re not going in because…?”

“I’m not walking into something like this without backup.” Sanada rolled his eyes. “Look, if you don’t do anything with this, that’s fine. You just asked me to let you know if I heard anything about the Light. This is what I heard. Take it or leave it, but I’m not going in. All yours if you want it.”

Ryou considered carefully.

“How do they feel about hero costumes?”

***

“This is stupid.”

“How is going in with all our gear and hiding in plain sight stupid?” Ryou asked silkily. Kuramochi just pouted at him. “This is strategy. Although I seem to remember saying to pick a costume other than your own.”

“Like anyone’s gonna suspect me of being the real Kid Flash,” Kuramochi grumbled. “It’d be stupid to just walk into a party of criminals and supervillains.”

“I’ll pretend you’re just speaking rhetorically,” Ryou said, jabbing Kuramochi in the side. “Stick with the buddy system, don’t draw attention to yourselves, listen for anything suspicious. Don’t get drunk, but keep a drink on you. You’ll look more suspicious if you don’t.”

“Aye, aye, Captain!” Sawamura saluted him. He’d switched costumes with Miyuki, which meant his face was significantly more obscured than normal. It didn’t hide the wild grin, though. They hadn’t had something potentially big in a while, and everyone was some flavor of excited.

“Not so loud, idiot,” Miyuki complained. He’d added a domino mask to Sawamura’s standard black jumpsuit to hide his face better. He might be safe from anyone clocking him as Arsenal, but he was still the son of Miyuki Toku, and he was recognizable.

“Don’t you think you’re cutting it a little too close?” Jun asked Ryou. He’d opted for a simple domino mask as well, because there was really no helping the fact that he was green. “I mean, dressing as Robin...you look a lot like your brother.”

“Robin without Batman?” Ryou asked lightly. He’d left his hood down, leaving his pink hair on display. For once, it might actually make him less recognizable. “Who would ever suspect?”

“We should get going,” Tetsu said. He was still coming as muscle, and he was firmly assigned to Jun’s side to listen and stay out of trouble. Ryou felt safer having him there anyway. Even if he was more Sanada’s teammate than a Titan now, he was still a member of their team, and Ryou wanted him there.

“Alright. Stay in your pair. Make sure we come from different directions,” Ryou said. “Get out if it gets too crazy. And stay out of the spotlight.”

With that, he took off through a zeta tube with Kuramochi. It spit them out a few blocks from where they’d be walking, and in an opposite direction from the other two pairs. Three couples would draw less attention than one big group.

It wasn’t long before they could hear the party. Ryou would almost worry about a noise complaint, but there was probably no risk. If anyone needed to be paid off, they’d already been paid off.

“Hey, nice Kid Flash costume,” someone shouted at Kuramochi. Ryou shifted closer. This was the true test. Kuramochi would be the easiest to recognize, considering he hadn’t even tried to disguise himself. “The lightning is going the wrong way, though. And you’re a little short.”

Ryou really couldn’t help snorting into his fist. Kuramochi just looked affronted.

“I take everything back,” Ryou said. “You picked the perfect disguise.”

He slipped his hand into Kuramochi’s, pretending the way Kuramochi jumped didn’t sting a little bit.

“Play along,” Ryou said under his breath. Kuramochi stared at him for just a second longer than was comfortable, but eventually he let it go, squeezing Ryou’s hand back.

The party was every bit as chaotic as it had sounded from a block away. Easier to hide in, but harder to actually hear anything important. It was going to be a long night.

“Want any punch?” Kuramochi asked, nodding towards a table with drinks. Ryou nodded, and Kuramochi gave his hand one more squeeze before he moved away.

Ryou kept half an eye out for him as he scanned the rest of the room. Jun and Tetsu were already here, and Jun had struck up a conversation with someone while Tetsu hovered obviously and possessively behind him, glaring at anyone who got too close to Jun. They weren’t exactly low profile, but they also didn’t seem at risk for blowing their cover, so Ryou let them be.

“Here.” Kuramochi had returned, depositing a drink into Ryou’s hands. Ryou didn’t immediately take a sip of what would amount to a prop. Instead, he scanned for a likely place to start.

“Have you seen Wonder Boy and Arsenal?” Ryou asked, so quietly that hopefully only Kuramochi caught it.

“I caught them on their way away from the punch,” Kuramochi said. “No acknowledgment, of course.”

“Very good,” Ryou said absently. His eyes caught on someone at the edge of the crowd. Someone who was probably much more comfortable at the bottom of the ocean than he would be on land. “Four o’clock. Atlantean.”

Kuramochi turned his head to look and turned back so quickly that anyone watching would probably just assume it was a nervous tic.

“How do they always look that obvious?” Kuramochi asked. “And why is an Atlantean here?”

“Based on his clothes? Might be associated with Black Manta,” Ryou said. “Come on.”

“Oh boy,” Kuramochi sighed, throwing back his drink. Ryou rolled his eyes, but let it slide. Kuramochi’s metabolism wouldn’t let him get drunk. “Oh boy.”

Ryou traced Kuramochi’s eyes across the room to where Sawamura had Miyuki pinned against a wall, tongue probably so far down his throat he was hitting tonsils.

“Really?” Ryou groaned. “Those idiots choose now to get their shit together?”

“I thought M’yuki’d need to get drunk to do that.” Ryou cast a sharp look at Kuramochi’s slurred words. Kuramochi’s cheeks were flushed, eyes bright but far away, and mouth slack. If Ryou didn’t know better…

“Hey Kid Flash.” Kuramochi’s eyes snapped to him, already clearing. Ryou held out his still-full cup. “Finish this off for me?”

Kuramochi gave him a skeptical look, but threw the whole drink down in one go again. Almost immediately, a flush came over his cheeks, and his eyes went distant again. He parted his lips, tongue flicking out to wet them, and Ryou very carefully ignored the fact that he knew exactly what it felt like to press those lips to his own. Knew exactly what it felt like to shove Kuramochi against a wall with a leg between his thighs…

“Slow down, buddy!” Someone clapped Kuramochi on the shoulder, jostling them both out of the moment. “That’ll get you fucked up way too fast!”

“I’m guessing that’s not your standard punch,” Ryou sighed.

“Nah,” the stranger replied. “Extra strength! It’s not a party til everyone’s drunk!”

“I see.” So Miyuki and Sawamura were out of commission for the rest of the night. If something could get Kuramochi drunk, even for a few seconds, it would probably destroy a normal human. Or a demigod.

Ryou could only hope Tetsu and Jun didn’t get into the punch, but they’d been fairly engrossed in their conversation. They were probably safe.

“Let’s go pull Wonder Boy and Arsenal,” he said. Kuramochi reached out to stop him.

“Let them be,” he said. Ryou arched a brow at him. “If they bang, they have to talk it out. I’m sick of watching them dance around each other.”

Ryou swallowed down about twenty responses he could’ve used, and instead steered Kuramochi towards the Atlantean. Kuramochi stopped a little short, letting Ryou go in alone while still standing close enough to provide backup.

“Not one for partying?” Ryou asked, sidling in close. The Atlantean looked him up and down.

“You make a very convincing Robin,” he said. “The pink hair is a bit much, though.” Ryou shrugged. “And yes. It is a little...louder than I expected.”

Ryou laughed politely. So an Atlantean that wasn’t used to the surface. Seto had been the same way when he’d first joined Young Justice.

“What brings an Atlantean to a party like this?” Ryou asked softly. The Atlantean didn’t look too disturbed at being clocked.

“My employer is looking for support,” he said. “We could use any help we could get in our struggle for the soul of Atlantis.”

Ryou could practically hear Kuramochi rolling his eyes behind him, and he shared the sentiment. The civil war in Atlantis was starting to concern everyone on the surface. Aquaman had assured the Justice League that he had it covered, but Ryou wasn’t sure how much he trusted that assessment anymore.

“So you’re looking for a benefactor,” Ryou said.

“We have one,” the Atlantean said. “But the Light’s support is not absolute, and we could use more, just to push us over the edge.”

Ryou controlled his face. He hadn’t known about Black Manta’s rebellion being related to the Light, and if it was, that was worrying.

“Then I’ll leave you in peace,” Ryou said. He didn’t want to step over some line without having more information. Just knowing this much was enough to get him started.

Ryou caught Jun’s eye over the crowd. He nodded towards the door, and Jun nodded in response. It was time to get out of there. The party was already starting to swing out of control, and they had new information.

“I got Arsenal and Wonder Boy out,” Kuramochi said. “We should...probably leave them alone until they’re sober. They’ll get back to the Tower fine, though.”

“Works for me,” Ryou said. “I have plenty to think about. They’re both old enough to figure it out on their own.”

“About damn time.”

Ryou resisted the urge to sigh. Kuramochi seemed to know everything about everyone else, and nothing about the two of them. But Ryou wouldn’t push it tonight. They had enough to deal with.
