#with sanada on top of eijun

[cheshire-writer]

Yes, yes, pro headcanons, always interesting. And gosh, I have so many thoughts about this, sorry in advance for throwing them at you. I weighed the odds of every player we get introduced to, once. I did that much IRL baseball research. 😅

That said, I agree with a lot you said! Chris has got the build and the heritage (yeah, nepotism 😂) to make it to the mbl and he's insanely skilled both as a batter and a catcher, though we don't really have a grasp on the details because a) he was injured for most of the time he knew him and b) most of what he get is via Eijun and Kazuya, who are the biggest Chris fanboys ever and thus not reliable sources.

Kazuya would be able to make it too, I think. By the end of act ii, he's one of the best high school batters in the nation by virtue of being Seido's #4, i.e best batter, and Seido is one of the Summer Koushien favourites.

For both Chris and Kazuya, though, I think catching is more important than batting. because my impression is that for catchers, it's less important how well you hit and more how good your game calling, framing, batter reading, etc AND your interpersonal skills (for managing the pitchers) are. One of the yt instruction videos I watched explained it like, if the pitcher on the mound wants you in the catcher box, then that helps no small amount to get you into the catcher box, which is why the video emphasized building trust with the pitcher.

That's something that Kazuya still needs to improve in, though he's miles better at it by the end of act ii and aware that he still needs to get better at it (as seen when he reflects that Zono has that reliable, transparent quality that he lacks when Furuya got injured post Spring Koshien). Kazuya even with that personality works very well with Seido's pitchers, but only because they know him and he is the backbone of the team. Irreplaceable. Pitchers and catchers are all oriented towards him like the centre of a star system. In a lineup where Kazuya is only one of many good catchers, like in the mbl, that wouldn't work so well, I expect. So, interpersonal skills for Kazuya to improve in. (Unless his game calling manages to be so exceptionally good that he becomes, once more, irreplaceable.)

I do think that Eijun would be able to make it, considering the potential we are teased with - we mustn't forget, by the time Act II ends, Eijun has only been playing and practising and pitching seriously for a year and four months. His pitching speed went up by more than 10 kmh in that year alone and he got a handful of breaking balls and moving fastballs and change-ups. (After one year of actual mentored batting practice, he manages to put his bat consistently on draft-prospect pitcher Amahisa, which is mindboggling but less relevant because pitchers are pretty much only expected to pitch, not to bat, Ohtani being the history making exception. But still, it deserved a mention. In the mbl one of their leagues even got a system - the designated hitter - that means that pitchers don't bat at all.) It is, frankly, insane to consider what Eijun'd be like one year down the line, or after a couple years in the npb. He doesn't ever need to pitch as fast as Furuya to become a top international prospect. Plus, his charisma.

Furuya, with his speed, could also definitely make it, I think, but only if he becomes more stable and stops being heads-or-tails good-or-bad, yk, the thing where he gets lost in his head and feelings and can't pitch the level he needs to pitch at anymore. He's always had trouble with but that but it really got him good in Act II, and at the end of Act II he was still clawing his way slowly, slowly, out of that hole.

Sanada, I'm less sure about. He's a good pitcher and batter, but comparatively speaking, he's not That good. He's very self-aware and self-controlled, which works in his favour and keeps him relaxed and lets him keep his composure. But he's also injury prone. If as a teenager, his pitching form is already benching him constantly, then I don't think he could make it even in the npb. But that could be fixed by adjusting his form, the way I understand it. Problem is, it's that form that makes his pitching so powerful, meaning how he'd compare with a new form is up in the air. Sanada would undergo a lot of development as a player in a post-canon university arc 😎

Raichi, on the other hand, yes, yes, yes. He grows up a bit, bulks up a bit (or not, so long as he still hits homers like he does), the fact that he's small wouldn't really matter, I don't think. With his swing and OPS stats, the mbl would want him anyway.

Haruichi, on the other hand, yeah, I don't think he'd be able to make it to the mbl. Too small and doesn't hit big enough often enough. Unless he'd manage to change that, not much of a chance, I think. Other Asian leagues would be fair game, though.

And I'm going to stop now before this post gets even longer. 😅

Do you hc the boys would try to make it to the mlb?

for the best of them, yes. i'll be honest, i don't know a lot of how pro baseball works compared to say basketball or volleyball, but i do know it's pretty different in some regards - typically, american baseball values strength & athleticism while japanese baseball relies more on tactics and speed. this is highlighted a bit in the anime, but both games are certainly ever-evolving.

so i think smaller players like mei or kuramochi might dominate the japanese baseball leagues, and a lot of characters in the manga would certainly go on to play there. sawamura - i think it'd be his dream, but i'm honestly 50/50 on whether or not he'd be able to make it there. he'd need to fill out more (praying for timeskip content lol) but sometimes i feel like he could make it there on sheer determination alone lol. maybe take an alternative path at first like hinata in haikyuu (that's all i'll spoil for this post haha)?

again, i'm not by any means a pro at this nor do i frequently look at baseball analysis - but in terms of surface-level analysis, we see that ohtani actually does better in the mlb in ops (basically an overall hitting metric) vs. the npb - though that's only one stat and many factors can contribute to that increase like playstyle and growth in career. i did see that overall, japanese players do better in the npb but that could be a lack of opportunities as well.

which brings me to my next point! moving from npb to mlb is an extensive process and players aren't usually able to do so until later in their career (i.e. playing npb or other pro league for a certain number of years) - they go through a posting system and these roadblocks are partially in place so that mlb doesn't poach all of japan's talent.

that being said! i think some of the bigger players would be better off in the mlb, but they'd have to practice hard, have good luck, and be the best of the best! for some reason, i can't get it out of my mind that miyuki would find his way there eventually, and if chris overcomes his shoulder injury, grows a little, and continues to improve, i can see him playing there as well (... potential nepotism? lmao) otherwise i can see him being a physiotherapist / athletic trainer. or maybe i'm being biased since they're my faves?

the ones i'm on the fence about are sanada, furuya, raichi, and tetsuya. they all have potential to make it - tetsu & raichi the most out of them, i think - it would be difficult and i don't think they'd be star players in the mlb. for example, tetsu & raichi are great hitters relying on strength, but they'd have to grow a lot to match the strength of american players.

others i think would play in npb only are haruichi, kawakami, and okumura. again, smaller players with high skill levels (hc huge college improvement from kawakami for some reason lol) but not enough to go to mlb. there are some that i headcanon would quit baseball after high school (or college) for various reasons - including ryousuke, jun, shirasu, and toujou. hmu for those deets lol

sorry if you just wanted a simple headcanon but your question lead me down quite the enjoyable rabbit hole and i'd love to hear other peoples' thoughts on this - especially those who actually know baseball! 😅

this also almost became a whole-ass timeskip post lmfao. let me know if i missed anyone that you want me to comment on!

drabble: daiya boys getting jealous to you wearing another guys jersey ! 

characters: multiple characters x fem! reader

request status: OPENED / all fandoms pinned to the top of my blog as well as rules and req status! happy sending! 

Miyuki Kazuya: 

- mans so confused? why are you wearing Eijun’s jersey. he had specifically gotten you a jersey that had his number for you to wear and the fact that you were wearing his pitchers jersey was completely throwing him off. especially because it was a game day and you were helping the girls with their cheering today and he wanted you to be in his jersey while you did it. 

- you were talking with Eijun and Nori, trying to get their pre-game jitters to settle the tf down. it didn’t even seem like you bothered by the fact that you wearing Eijun’s jersey and although Miyuki did not want to cause a scene, a part of him wanted a explanation. 

- as he was about to walk to you for an explanation, you got dragged away by the girls as he was called onto the field. he saw you a bit later on the stands, you were talking with the girls, every so often, the in field camera would pan to you and show off you wearing Eijun’s jersey. his eye continuously twitched at it and it wasn’t until the end of the game when he finally got the chance to approach you about it. 

- “why are you in his jersey?” he asked, lifting the jersey as if it was dirty. you laughed, sensing that he wanted you to take it off so you did, “i got Red Bull over the spare one you gave me and Eijun offered to take me to the locker room to get another one of yours but i guess i grabbed his spare by accident,” you laughed. Miyuki sighed understandingly but took his sweaty jersey off and putting it on you, “yours stinks you know,” you told him, giggling at his possessiveness, “i know but i’d rather you smell like dirty me than to have that idiot smelling line you.” you laughed, kissing his cheek as you heard a few of the girls call you over to catch dinner, “i’ll see you after dinner!” you screamed as he watched you, finally satisfied that you were wearing his jersey now. 

kuramochi youichi: 

- you thought you got off easy with miyuki? MANS WAS PISSED. you were adorning Shinji’s jersey when he had specifically given his to you. kuramochi walked up to you, seeing you talking to a few of your friends in front of your home room. he didn’t even ask, he practically dragged you over to a corner. 

- “what up with the jersey?” he asked, pointing to Shinji’s number. you rolled your eyes, “um, this is the one you gave me? what the hell are you on?” you asked, trying to see the number. he shook his head, “the fuck it’s not. you’re wearing Shinji’s jersey!” he exclaimed, “take it off,” he stated, as he yanked your back pack off you and watched you annoyingly take it off.

- kuramochi looked at the time. you had about ten minutes before class started and that gave him enough time, “come with me,” he said, dragging you out of the hallway and basically darting to the boys baseball locker room. you were screaming at him, asking him where the hell he was dragging you off too. it wasn’t until you saw the boys locker room approaching when you finally realized. 

- he told you to wait a second and not even a minute after, he walked out of the locker room, holding his jersey in his hand and throwing Shinji’s into the hallway, not caring where it landed. Mochi put it on for you, making sure his number was showing. you looked at him and saw a blush on his cheek, realizing that he was flustered by how you looked with his jersey on. 

- you leaned up, giving him a kiss on the lips before smiling, “i like this one better,” you giggled. he gave you a hearty laugh, before returning the kiss, “you better because it’s mine,” he said in-between kisses. the kiss seemed to go on longer than you had realized as the two of you heard the two minute bell ring off, “race you to home room,” you told him as the two of you basically darted off to class. 

Narumiya Mei: 

- GODDD, you got the whiniest of the bunch, omfg. he sees you wearing Carlos’s jersey and he immediately starts getting dramatic. he complains to Itsuki about why aren’t you wearing his and when he finally approaches you, you could see the whiny look on his face, “why are you wearing Carlos’s jersey!” he said. 

- “i decided to wear everyone’s jersey as a way to support the team as the manager,” you said, not bothering to play into his attitude. he could tell you were annoyed by his attitude and figured since you were being this way, two could play this game. he knew you found his fan girls annoying as FUCK so he went to the common area and immediately got flocked with attention. 

- you had walked into that same area to get a water for yourself and saw the commotion around Narumiya. you saw the way girls were basically hanging off of him and realized this was his way of revenge for wearing Carlos’s jersey. you felt slightly annoyed, kinda jealous but knew the best way to get him back for it. and that way was to openly flirt with Carlos when he finally made his way to the dugout. 

- once you got Carlos into the plan, he waited until Narumiya arrived to take his shirt off in front of you. you had seen this plenty of times before but acted ‘flustered’ to get a reaction from Narumiya...which is exactly what you got. you flustered expression around Carlos made Narumiya pissed as he saw Carlos basically laying it on thick. he was being extremely flirty around you and even wrapping his arm around you for a few seconds at a time until Narumiya finally had enough. 

- he, without hesitation, took off his own playing jersey and yanked Carlos’s off, “wear it....now,” he stated, darkened jealous eyes showing. you had never expected his reaction from him before but giving yourself the benefit of the doubt, you slipped his on but still saw the expression written on his face, “we’ll deal with this later,” he murmured as crashed his lips onto yours, giving everyone in the dugout a free show. you were stunned with silence as Narumiya let you go and wiped away the lipstick you wearing in front of Carlos. 

Sanada Shunpei: 

- you were wearing Todoroki’s jersey and frankly, he was upset but not as much as he should’ve been bc i mean, it was Todoroki, you couldn’t get mad at that cinnamon roll for a long time. it was hard when Raichi was basically a walking two legged version of the sun but that was besides the point, he hated seeing you wearing another number that wasn’t his. 

- you were talking to Todoroki, giving him a few tips on how to keep his bat in decent care when Sanada finally approached the two of you. he had a tight lipped smile as he sat next to you and putting his hand on your thigh and giving it a tight squeeze, causing you to squeal slightly in the process. Todoroki hadn’t noticed as he continued to blabber on about his precious bat. 

- finally, his dad had called him over for something, causing Todoroki to run over there as Sanada looked down to you, “what up with Todoroki’s jersey?” he asked, making sure he emphasized his name. you shrugged, still smiling at him, “felt like supporting him,” you explained, “he’s like a little brother to me and i wanted to make sure he knew he had someone’s support on the stands.” Sanada’s heart fluttered, any sign of jealousy leaving his body as he heard what you were saying. 

- he loved the fact that you were so sisterly to Raichi. there would be days where you would bring all three of you lunch on the field as you knew that if Raichi didn’t eat school lunch, he’d practically be running on a banana diet for the entirety of the day and you were not about to have that happening. 

- you leaned up, giving him a quick peck on the lips, “don’t worry, the only other person’s jersey i would wear is yours,” you whispered into his ear, “and if you win today’s game, you can see me in just that and nothing else.” Sanada instantly perked up up, agreeing to what you were saying as he got dragged up from the bench by a few of his teammates. 

hongou masamune: 

- he’s seething and that doesn’t even begin to explain it. one of the first things he did as your bf was give you his jersey to make a statement that you were his and to back THE FUCK off and now here you were, wearing Renji’s jersey for some god awful reason. he knew Renji was his best friend but seeing you wearing Renji’s jersey just ticked him off more than usual. 

- Hongou approached you, dragging you away from the team as you tugged yourself back, trying to get him to explain why tf you were getting dragged away from everyone. when he finally got you to himself, he didn’t even hesitate to yank off Renji’s jersey, “why?” was all he asked as you sighed in disbelief, “why am I wearing Renji’s jersey?” you asked as he nodded, “because i lost a bet with the fucking idiot and my punishment was to wear his jersey to a game.” 

- Hongou didn’t really like the idea of this bet so he practically gripped his best friend’s jersey and took his off in the process, “you’re wearing mine and that’s final,” he stated, walking back to the loccker room to get his spare jersey from his stall. he shrugged his on as the two of you walked back to the team and he practically whipped Renji’s jersey back to him, “take yours back idiot,” he screamed to Renji making you laugh. 

- you shrugged, not really knowing what to say to Renji as he was caught off guard, “told you he’d react that way!” you exclaimed, laughing now, “you act like you don’t know your own best friend,” Renji silently agreed knowing you were right. you saw Hongou on the field, practicing extra harsh as you silently apologized to the other team for the ass kicking they were about to receive bc of Hongou. 

- you waved to Hongou throughout the game, whispering ‘i love you’s’ you him to try and get him to calm down but you knew that was no use. being Hongou’s gf meant that you were going to have to get used to dealing with his constant angry attitude and you knew that nine times out of ten, you were going to repay for your little bet with Renji bc of it. Hongou’s punishments on the other hand weren’t as bad as you liked to make it seem tho. you usually got some pretty good aftercare from him when it was all said and done.

Sawamura Eijun Yips Progression

July 31 Sawamura hits Shirakawa on the head in the 9th inning of Seido vs Inashiro Summer Tournament Finals Match.

Aug 2 Sawamura watches the match video with Miyuki and berates himself for being too inexperienced and as a result get affected by the pressure.

Aug 3-6 Sawamura is glad that he can still pitch properly in bullpen.

Aug 7-18 Seido vs. Saitama Sakai Practice Game Furuya pitch 7 innings give up 0 runs; Sawamura pitch 8th-9th inning, give up 0 runs Miyuki comment his pitches trajectory are "too easy", Sawamura tells himself to "Calm down".

Aug 19 Seido vs Kaiyou Practice Game, Furuya pitch 1-6th inning, Sawamura pitches in 6th-9th inning and gives up 1 run due to 1 Hit and 1 Walk in 7th inning. Miyuki comment "I told you trajectory was too easy."

Aug. 27 Seido vs. Chiba Shoudai

before Sawamura is subbed in Miyuki says “Your control was never good to begin with, I wont ask the impossible  of you. You pitched the opposite of what I requested. Because your form is unique, it works on practice games. As it is right now, it won’t work against that guy (Todoroki Raichi)”

Sawamura mislocates an inside pitch during the match. Later that night, they did a pitching review and Miyuki says: “That was a completely careless pitch.”

Aug 28 Seido vs Yakushi Practice Game

Sanada, Raichi and Mishima riles up Furuya and Sawamura before the match.

1st inning Furuya: “Can I pitch for the whole game today? My problem is that I don’t have the stamina to pitch late  into the  game. 3 innings is not enough for me.”

Kataoka: “No way! Instead of pitching for 9 innings it is important to get outs for the  sake of the team. This game does not belong to you alone. But well I don’t mind letting you pitch longer, depending on you performance”

4th inning, Furuya  is doing well. Sawamura is getting more threatened by him, becomes more tense. (Sawamura was supposed to be subbed in this inning btw. Meanwhile Kataoka was busy fulfilling his promise to Furuya)

Sawamura still doing fine in the bullpen, being loud and annoying while waiting for his turn.

At the 5th inning Sawamura, in the same fashion as Furuya asks Kataoka to be subbed in since that was the initial plan.

Sawamura: “Can I start pitching this inning?“

Kataoka: “You’re on standby.”

Sawamura: “Eh? No but..it’s already 5 innings according to the plan... (implying Furuya was supposed to pitch 3 innings and then hand over the mound to sawamura and then to kawakami probably)”

Kataoka: “That’s enough just be on standby. Being ready based on the situation is also A RELIEF PITCHER’S DUTY.”

Note that the pitchers were not briefed on this. Nothing in Miyuki’s pitcher review the night before implied this. Kataoka basically declared here that he already considered Furuya as Ace despite knowing how much the two were desperately vying for the position.

Also everyone (Miyuki, Furuya, the fielders, bench players) heard this except for Kawakami and Kariba who were in the bullpen.

Sawamura released his anger and tired himself in the bullpen. He is still up to his usual antics though. Which is quite positive of him after being cruelly shot down by Kataoka like that.

After the 6th inning Furuya is sent to the outfield and Sawamura  is called in to pitch. Kataoka tells Furuya that he’ll rely on him in the Fall too (in front of everyone except for the pitchers in the bullpen.)

As if forgetting everything he said the day before (that he does not expect control from Sawamura and will not ask the impossible from him), Miyuki tells him to be ready to pitch cutters to the cleanups batting next.

Sanada is pitching well at top of the 7th. Sawamura recognizes that as the presence of the Ace. and becomes more tense remembering how Kataoka casually relegated him to “Relief Pitcher” in the 5th inning.

Bottom of 7th inning First on the box is 3rd batter Akiba

pitch1: fastball to the knees, sawamura throws to the dirt

pitch2: high inside which turned into a ball

pitch3: fastball to the knees, sawamura mislocates to middle, akiba lands a hit

4th batter Raichi

pitch1: Fastball Outside corner, Ball (Miyuki: Your pitch didn’t deviate much from the position I indicated.) -> Sawamura could still pitch a proper outside fastball here

pitch2: inside cutter towards the chest (front door cutter), Sawamura mislocates to middle, Raichi hits 2 RBI homerun Miyuki runs up to Sawamura on the mound and says this:

^^^ remember this was the guy who had been nagging about control for the past 3 weeks

5th batter Mishima

lands a hit

6th batter Sanada

pitch1 Inside Fastball, ball thrown to outside, ball

pitch2 inside crossfireto batter chest, mislocates down middle, sanada sends it to centerfield

7th batter

given a walk

Miyuki visits the mound for the 2nd time: “Don’t mind the trajectory much, your pitches have power. It’s alright, everyone is here.”

^^^ ONCE MORE dont forget this was the guy who’d been NAGGING ABOUT CONTROL AND SAWAMURA BEING CARELESS FOR  THE PAST 3 WEEKS

8th batter

Miyuki set up for an inside pitch AGAIN, Sawamura throws it high up to the  fence. This results in a passed  ball and Sawamura freezes up and is unable to cover the plate, letting all 3 runners come home

Miyuki asks Kataoka to pull him out. And Furuya fkiing Satoru says this

and this boy. despite all the sht people have said to him. from Miyuki to Kataoka to Furuya, still managed to apologize for his performance.

Kataoka’s horrible coaching + Miyuki’s blindness and shtty aggressiveness +The rival being insensitive af.

= HOW ONE KILLS A PITCHER’S SOUL

What could have been done right?

Kataoka should have talked to Sawamura personally after the deadball that it was not his fault and it’s normal.

The timing of telling Sawamura he has been relegated to Relief Pitcher WAS HORRIBLE. If you look at it Furuya asked to be put in the match for the whole 9 innings which was not practical given his neglect of improving his stamina for the past month. Sawamura just realistically asked to be subbed in the inning that they planned. Kataoka did not have to respond like that as if he just wanted Sawamura to stfu and wait.

Miyuki should have talked to Sawamura what was wrong in the first 3 practice matches. Did he not study which pitches had the weak trajectories? Did he not see a pattern? Sawamura pitched a total of 8 innings in the practice matches before facing the Yakushi batters. If it was not obvious yet then,

Miyuki for fukcs sake should have stopped asking for CONSECUTIVE INSIDE PITCHES after Raichi’s AB in the Yakushi practice because he already knew Sawamura kept mislocating them. Pitching to the inside takes a LOT of accuracy and courage and Miyuki kept demanding that from Sawamura again and again to every batter that came up in the 7th inning.

 FURUYA SHOULD HAVE SHUT UP.

ARGUMENTS

“sawamura needed to be broken in yakushi practice match to see what really was wrong!”

I disagree. He was pitching decently in the practice matches before the yakushi practice match. Only the insides were mislocated. It could have been more manageable when his trauma was only hitting Shirakawa to the head. Now his memories regarding inside pitches have Raichi’s homer and the rest of yakushi batters hits + getting pulled off the mound in the inning he was sent in.

Listen. Sawamura CAN pitch outside low fasballs DECENTLY as early as Act 1 Seido vs Yakushi Summer Tournament. But this tragic practice match vs Yakushi sealed that ability too. It would take the whole of September for him to even get back the feel of pitching proper outside pitches and then the rest of October to get the rest of his pitching back.

“Miyuki was just trying his best because he was the new captain and he’s so young and prone to make mistakes.”

I also disagree with putting off the blame from Miyuki like this. What he did to Sawamura in the Yakushi practice match was a repetition of 9th inning Seido vs Inashiro. He has not learned anything yet. At this point Miyuki does not deserve to be called “best catcher of his generation.” He broke his own pitcher and that’s that. 

(granted miyuki helped put sawamura back together but that essay has been done countless times  already)

[sirimirihiro]

Hellloo! First of all thanks for liking my post, second, can you please do a headcanon of Sanada Shunpei, Todoroki Raichi and Sawamura Eijun of how they'll express their love to their s/o? Much thanks!! ❤️

Hello! I’d love to! ^^ [Also no worries. Always good to see another Daiya fan here]

——

Sanada Shunpei:

- Sanada’s ways might be the most normal ones out of the three of them, but doesn’t mean that he is any less of a romantic about it.

- Is usually always the one that makes food for them. Ranging between a home cooked meal, to bentos or snacks for them. But, he always puts much care into making the food that they like and avoid anything they wouldn’t like.

- This guy,, Yes, he definitely is dedicating his most important pitches to them. How could he not when they were watching right there up in the stands.

- Yes, he does it even though he knows his team is gonna tease him about it. And that is actually what takes real courage when you were around such a loud, but caring team.

- If they’re ever coming to watch a match, he makes sure they get a seat where they can get to see him from and vise-versa. He always wants to make sure that his s/o is alright.

- Shunpei is a true gentleman. Will always want to kiss the top of their hand and be close to them during breaks between school and practice. He even holds the door open for them and always keeps a handkerchief in case that his s/o would need it.

- Dating Sanada is a 10/10 experience, not that it was a secret.

Tododoki Raichi:

- This sweetheart,,,, He tries very hard I swear.

- It’s sometimes kind of hard to talk with his s/o, even after they hav gotten together. Mostly because he doesn’t want to mess this up, but also because he thinks that they are so pretty.

- Hand holding! It calms him a lot!! He was sort of nervous in the start to do it, since his hands are so rough from all the practice. But once he gets into it, Raichi will never let go of their hand.

- Share his food with them, scaring and worrying both the team and his father the first time that they witnessed this. If he can get food for practice or matches, he will always make sure to save at least one for his s/o.

- Will make sure to talk to them before the start of a game, talking about what a strong opponent that this was going to be.. And then maybe sort of asked if he could get a good luck kiss from them.

- It doesn’t matter that he was the one who asked first, he is still going to be the most flustered one out of the two of them.

- But, he still wouldn’t trade it for anything in the whole world.

Sawamura Eijun:

- In comparison to the two others, Sawamura is a very open lover, to a certain degree. More so in the sense that he tends to proclaim his love for his s/o more loudly.

- And while he definitely means ever word that he says and loves everything they do with their whole heart, he’ll still be utterly embarrassed if they say back anything of the same type to him.

- Invites his s/o to come watch his practice and games, along with sharing snacks and shojō manga when they relax at his dorm room. Eijun loves to talk about his favorite interests and wants to be able to talk with them about it!

- But, of course, he also wants to hear about them. What their interests are and what they were doing that day. When they are talking, he always makes sure to listen and ask questions over the parts that he is curious over.

- If you think you can get out of him proclaiming your love in one of his game speeches down on the mound, then forget it.

- This angel is so happy to have them in his life, that he just can’t help but he’ll it out. His s/o is really one of his main motivations in life.

- “ Yosh! This one is for you, [Name]! Please, cheer for me! “

So next week’s chapter...

Thinking back to the game with Ichidai and Yakushi, it was pretty obvious that it was going to come down to a direct showdown between Sanada and Amahisa. The game had been built up to that, and even though the technical naysayers rubbished it, from a plot point of view it was the only thing that made sense.

So. Next week. Or weeks. I wonder...

Zono hit the ball. Did it land? He was blubbing like a two year old with his sudden epiphany at how much he loves his teammates...so it might have been an amazing hit, or it might’ve been a fly. He is capable of both, in clutch situations, so I don’t want to call it.

But assuming at worst case scenario they finish at 2 runs.

I’m not sure where Ichidai’s batting order is because I don’t like them and haven’t been paying much attention BUT could this chapter come down to a showdown between Eijun and Amahisa, with the narrow 1 run lead at stake?

I already felt that it would make sense for Seidou to turn the score in THIS inning, so that the ultimate ‘hero’ if they won the game would be Eijun for holding down the batters to keep the score intact. It kind of makes more sense that way given that he’s the Ace. 

Of course, I’m assuming he’ll pitch to the end. And I’m assuming batting order. And I’m assuming Zono’s hit might not land (although I want it to, people are too harsh on Zono). So a lot of things are still possible.

It just feels like the finale of this game, given the friendship between Eijun and Amahisa...should also be the two of them. With Eijun to come out on top.

I mean that in a non-shipping sense. Of course.

Ichidai San vs Seidou: Koshien Aftereffects

@ Anon-san, here's the essay haha!

I've officially watched the Ichidai San vs Seidou match for the fourth time last night. My adrenaline was so high, I couldn't sleep until 3am that I ended up wanting to unleash all these feelings for this show.

Daiya, Act II ep 13

And I kid you not. I'm writing 'bout everyone in Seidou.

Coach Kataoka & Ochiai

Let's start with Boss. I'd like to reiterate that he always had high hopes for Eijun.

Daiya, Act I ep 5

He placed Eijun in the first string even when the boy was still shit with his form, his control, and zero baseball knowledge. Even Osaka Kiryuu's coach implied that it's actually Eijun who is Kataoka's secret weapon.

I remember him even letting Eijun pitch against Raichi during the batter's next at-bat against Eijun. That was cleary a sign that he was starting to trust Eijun. But clearly Eijun wasn't still good enough back then. Kataoka knew of Eijun's potential, it's just that he didn't expect him to grow soooo fast. Eijun was bound to get there someday, but not this soon. However, seeing Furuya's pitching in Koshien, he too was blinded by it since he was desperate for a real ace with an impact. Of course you'd wanna parade your pitcher like that. This is where Ochiai enters the picture. (If you've ever felt personally victimized by Ochiai, please raise your hand! ✋) Kidding. Ochiai was shit during his introduction. It took a long time to warm up to him, but he was an essential addition to the coaching staff. Kataoka, although tough is more of a feeling kind of coach. While Ochiai takes information at face value. Clearly in the Ichidai game, Ochiai was the one who was practical even suggesting that Eijun's pitching is more effective (even though he likes Furuya as a pitcher more). Kataoka was blind, and it was glaring. Why? You see the other teams were watching. And every single coach of the teams Seidou played against with is wary of Sawamura- even Inashiro's Coach Kunitomo. Eijun is the kid who rallied Seidou to one out away into reaching Summer Koshien- during his first freaking year.

This is why I really like it when Ochiai said Kataoka is human afterall. I guess Kataoka also has some growing up to do.

I'd like to add that these two coaches were blinded by the Koshien performance that they didn't even notice that Furuya's form was crumbling. Quoting these reddit posts, the coaching staff was purely after results. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it. We all gotta say thank you to baseball jesus, Chris-senpai, for we won't be having this problem with Eijun.

Furuya

Contrary to people saying Furuya became selfish, I feel like he actually knew what his role is and the expectations from him. He never once lost the goal to win Nationals. It's just that, he didn't know how to actually do it. He was chasing his best performance. He didn't want to be Japan's #1 pitcher for the title you know. He wanted to be the top pitcher to bring his team to the top.

Let's accept it. Despite being a monster rookie, he shouldered the ace number prematurely. Of course the weight of it would one day catch up to him. This is why the phrase 'There are no shortcuts.' keeps being reiterated in the story. I felt bad for Furuya so much. This phase of his baseball life is pretty parallel to Eijun's yips arc.

Eijun

How do I even start with our ball of sunshine? He really puts relief in 'relief pitching'. Such a refreshing player. Woah, like Sanada Shunpei. Yes we know that an ace carries the whole team, we know that an ace saves the team during a pinch, and an ace uplifts the overall mood. Already sounds like Eijun right? We know the role of an ace and how an ace should perform towards the team. What the Ichidai San match highlighted is how a team, in response, acts towards the ace. Trust. It really slapped me in the face the same way it frustrated Eijun. The extreme difference in trust given to an ace versus a relief pitcher.

This was the turning point for Eijun. Probably why I love rewatching it despite the angst. (For a more painful experience, try rewatching the episode before the Ichidai San match 🤭🔪🦝) Anyway, during that scene where Kataoka was dumbstruck with Eijun's top tier pitching I kept remembering that one quote from HQ by the U19 coach--

"We don't look for them, but that doesn't matter. They come to us with solid, undeniable strength and they make us choose them."

Literally screams SAWAMURA EIJUN!!!

Miyuki Kazuya

Where should I stab him? (Ya'll stop taking me seriously when I say stab okay?) I've been saying this all the time but our personality is the same. It's nasty. I love him and hate him at the same time okay?

Anyway, I hope we're all aware and agree that Miyuki also saw Eijun's potential from day 1. Sakuhin shit right there. Miyuki likes interesting people or happenings. This guy played catch with noob Eijun during his day-off! Offered, in fact. (Act 1, ep 5 during that intra squad game of 2nd/3rd yrs vs 1st yrs).

May I also add! Chris didn't like Eijun in the beginning. It was Miyuki who ended up covincing Chris to look at Eijun clearly and say "to a catcher, he's the most interesting kind of pitcher". However, this boy has his first string duties so it was understandable that he focused on Furuya for a while. But what's unacceptable is, during Ichidai's game, he was guilty of prioritizing Furuya over the game. This is 99% on Kataoka but 1% on Miyuki. Bitch you were losing and you couldn't even send distress signals to the coach. He trusted Furuya because of the Koshien performance and the ace number when a whole ass Sawamura Eijun exists. That's why he was quite guilty when Eijun dropped the 'trust' word on him during the switch.

And while I like that Eijun's performance during the Ichidai San match was eye opening to the catcher, I still haven't forgiven Miyuki for the day before the game when he 'ditched' or put Ei on the back burner. No, no. I'm not simply being a bitch about it because we know Miyuki's POV at that point. He needed to figure out what's wrong with Furuya and a match was looming. He didn't throw Eijun away, he just put him off a few hours. What I'm angry about is the way he put it to Eijun.

We all know Eijun is dying for some Miyuki acknowledgement. I'm pretty sure Miyuki is so unaware of this fact. Which brings me to the point. Miyuki is unaware of how his words come across to Eijun. How it impacts the little pitcher. That a simple jab to Eijun like "ace-sama wants to pitch" is a big sore spot. We see this later at night when Eijun keeps repeating, "Since I'm already put at the back burner!". Miyuki was being sarcastic about the ace-sama thing. But you see, Eijun is a big idiot. He takes everything at face value. Miyuki even brushes it off as they practice catch, "You're still angry about that?" he jokes.

And whooosh, everything's okay! Or is it?

You may say I'm being dramatic about it. But no. Here's why. During the Ichidai match, Eijun flashes back to two things. One, while on the bullpen frustrated that Furuya's messing up, he recalls the day before when Miyuki chose to catch for Furuya even though he promised to Eijun. (The other one, at his at-bat, he remembers when Kataoka didn't let him pitch the last inning.) So what seems to be a simple nasty joke to Miyuki is a sore spot to Eijun. I have observed this time and time again, but Eijun is quick to under value himself, and these jokes Miyuki pulls aren't helping. Recall that crippled Sawamura self deprecating joke he did, and him saying he was put in the back burner.

(Well anyway, Miyuki was praising Eijun in his mind the night before so I'm appeased. This is one of those TJ inconsistencies I hate, but okay, that's another post. ☹️)

Everything got better after the Ichidai game. Because as Eijun made Kataoka look at him properly. He also did the same to Miyuki. Eijun's performance just screamed, "I'm here. I'm ready!" It lit a fire to everyone in Seidou.

Fielders/Batters

I want to end my long ass post with a good one. I wanna highlight the team's performance during the Ichidai game.

While Furuya was pitching, I could go as far as say the fielder's were baby-ing him. They were so soft and encouraging because they knew Furuya when he is at his best and that it was off day during that time. The fielders were playing primarily to relieve Furuya's pressure.

In contrast, when Eijun was playing on the mound do you guys know how the batters felt? Kanemaru? Kuramochi? Utter frustration and hopelessness. And I was giddy as fuck when that happened. Because Eijun was performing his best, but they couldn't get any runs in response to his amazing pitching. It mothafuckin felt so good watching them feel powerless.

Don't you love this whole match? Obviously I do haha! If you guys ended up reading everything, then thank you! I really wrote this for myself because I was overwhelmed while rewatching it. 😅

strike the match (let it all burn)

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be back with another (much longer) addition to my "we are the challengers (plus ultra!)" verse! And by much longer, I mean this baby comes in at 5,677 words with another 3,267 in the omakes. If you would prefer to read it on AO3, you can find it here.

Thank you so much to @bookdancerfics for your help editing, it wouldn’t be what it is now without you.

Summary: Eijun, Furuya, Haruichi, and Raichi find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation.

A few things to know for those who haven't read the verse:

(1) it started as a list of quirks (basically superpowers) for DNA characters. that grew into a second list for Act II characters, as well as two short fics and a drabble. they can all be found under my "we are the challengers (plus ultra!)" tag.

(2) you do not need to have read the rest of the verse to enjoy this fic.

A few things to know for "strike the match (let it all burn)":

(1) quirks: Eijun (lion and house cat), Haruichi and Ryou (rose), Furuya (bonfire), Raichi (smoke and sparks), Kataoka (doberman), Kuramochi (cheetah camo), Miyuki (quirkless), Zono (oak tree), Toujou (rock), Chris (weakness reading), Asada (quirkless)

(2) this is the only fic for this AU so far that remotely qualifies as a crossover with BNHA, though the only two characters (Endeavor and Todoroki Shouto) only do so for a short while, despite being the reason this fic exists. if you aren't familiar with them, don't worry. all you need to know is: Endeavor is the number two hero and Shouto is his son. this fic takes place during a time that Shouto (usually attending a hero school) is doing field work with Endeavor at his hero agency near Tokyo.

I hope you all enjoy!

Raichi hummed under his breath as he bounced along to the restroom. One of the Seido managers had been kind enough to point him the right way, Yakushi was on a long winning streak even before the fall season started, and his dad had promised katsudon if they continued that streak with today's practice game. Life was good and, as he opened the bathroom door to find two of his favorite pitchers, he realized it was about to get even better.

"Furuya!" he exclaimed, eyes lighting up with glee to match the smoke now emanating from his palms in excitement. "And Sawamura! And -" Raichi frowned at the third Seido player. He looked familiar, with his rose petal hair, but he couldn't quite place him.

Rose Petal gave him a short bow, introducing himself with a quiet, "Kominato Haruichi, Todoroki-kun. Seido's second baseman."

Now Raichi remembered him.

"Devil boy!"

Sawamura and Kominato both choked, though for different reasons - the former was definitely holding back a laugh, which made Raichi beam even brighter than before. His cheeks were starting to hurt, but they always did during games. Sanada-senpai said it was because he was using his muscles.

Rose Petal - Kominato - opened his mouth to say something, but the door slamming open behind Raichi cut him off.

"Oi, boss," someone growled. "There are three other runts in here."

Ahead of Raichi, Kominato's eyes went wide and thorns began growing from his arms. Sawamura's tail was stiff, almost hiding behind him, while his ears laid back and his eyes became slits. A half threatening, half frightened rumble sounded from the pitcher's chest. Next to them, Furuya went completely still.

Faced with all of this, Raichi's smile fell, and he didn't want to turn around. He didn't get a choice. Thick fingers - the kind that came from pressing two hundred pounds a day - wrapped around his arm and spun him around.

"Hello, Todoroki brat," a second voice sneered.

Eijun just wanted a bathroom break. That was it. He didn't want yet another run in with an opposing player in the bathroom - honestly, was this a shounen manga or something? And he definitely didn't want three giant men bursting through the door, grabbing said opposing player, and roughly tying him up, all while pointing guns at him and his friends.

He could feel Harruchi's thorns pricking into his skin on one side, and the heat that came before Furuya's flames on the other.

"Calm down," he muttered - to himself or his friends, he wasn't sure. "Calm down, calm down, calm -"

Furuya burst into flames. They roared off him like someone tossed a match onto dry kindle, uncontrollable and frightening. Eijun had seen Furuya out of control before, but never anything like this. With a yelp, he leapt away and dragged Harruchi with him.

The move brought them closer to Raichi, who stared at Furuya with something almost like envy in his eyes. Next to the Yakushi player, two of the men stared between the pitcher and batter in confusion.

"Hey, uh, boss?" the first one said.

Eijun grit his teeth at hearing his shogun's nickname addressed to someone else, but pricked his ears.

"What?"

"You're sure the one only creating smoke is Endeavor's nephew, and not the one currently on fire?"

Eijun gaped and turned to Harruchi to see if he'd caught the name drop.

"Yes," the middle man - 'boss' - grunted. His tiger tail swished restlessly. "The file said he was short, had a scar on his cheek, and went to Yakushi. That's him alright."

"But -" the second man started, skin rolling around his arm in weird waves.

"But nothing! We need to get out of here before anyone else -"

"Sa - wa - mu - ra!" Kanemaru's irate voice called. "Bakamura, does it honestly take this long to use the bathroom? Miyuki-senpai and Kuramochi-senpai are looking for you!"

The door handle started to jiggle, and then it vanished under a coat of - was that skin? Eijun looked to the second henchman. His arm was still pointed at the door, skin settling back in place. What was on the door seemed to have hardened, and Kanemaru cursed.

"Oi, Bakamura! Did you lock it?"

Did the man's skin work like glue?

"Tell him to go away," the first voice hissed.

Eijun felt something prick the tender spot under his chin even as Harruchi whimpered, "Eijun-kun."

He looked down with his eyes, not daring to move his head. The first man's hand rested under his chin, porcupine quills coaxing beads of blood to roll down his throat, hot and burning.

Furuya shook with anger. From the looks of it, he wouldn't be any help, as everything the other pitcher had went to controlling his fire.

On the floor, Raichi lay absolutely still. The only exceptions were the occasional sparks that flew from his fingertips.

Eijun closed his eyes for a moment. With both lion and house cat blood, he had always had exceptional hearing, even for a cat. He could hear Kanemaru's cursing and shouting outside. The crackle of Furuya's fire and the snick as Harruchi produced more thorns. Raichi's heavy breathing. The rumbling growl within the tiger's throat.

What was it he had said? They wanted Raichi because he was related to Endeavor. Endeavor was the number two hero. Hero. Kidnapping. Revenge? Blackmail? Eijun didn't know the motive. What he did know… what he did know was that if he let Raichi leave the bathroom with these thugs, he might never face him in baseball again. The same consequence applied if he didn't obey their captors, here and now.

Opening his eyes, Eijun looked at the porcupine with, he hoped, a bit of fear. The quills backed off enough that he could talk, and Eijun opened his mouth.

"KIDNAPPERS!" Eijun-kun roared at the top of his lungs.

The man with the porcupine quirk lunged forward in an attempt to silence him, but Haruichi pulled Eijun-kun back and put up an entire arm full of thorns. The thug - kidnapper - scrambled to come to a halt before he ran into them. Taking the opportunity, Haruichi snagged Todoroki's jacket in one hand and walked backwards, using his thorns to ward off the kidnappers. Eijun-kun stumbled along behind him.

The man with the tiger quirk stepped forward, apparently deciding to just deal with the thorns. Haruichi glanced at Furuya, and the burning boy stepped forward with a fierce glare. His fire would keep the kidnappers back for now. He may not have enough control to be offensive yet, but defense he could do.

Sure enough, the three kidnappers came to a halt just in time for them to hear Kanemaru running away, yelling for someone to call the police.

"Good job, Eijun-kun," Haruichi murmured. He used his thorns to tear a strip off his jersey and pressed it to his friend's throat. "Now, can you untie Todoroki-kun?"

Satoru felt numb. His body had been continuously producing flames for about fifteen minutes, first because he had no choice and then because they were the main defense. If his flames fell, Todoroki would be kidnapped. He and his friends would likely be killed. They had to stay up, and to further deter the kidnappers, he had to stare them down and pretend he could control them. It meant the only things he knew about his friends came from their words.

Harruchi muttered to himself for now. From the sound of it, he was trying to strategize an escape using his batting strategies.

At the same time, Sawamura and Todoroki plotted loudly, uselessly, and disruptively. Once untied, it hadn't taken long for the opposing player to bounce back when faced with Sawamura's optimism. It left Satoru and Harruchi at wit's end - but thankfully, it also seemed to befuddle the would be kidnappers.

"Then I go -" Todoroki made an explosion noise "- and then you go -" that one was probably supposed to be a lion roar "- and your friends run and we follow!"

Sawamura hollered in excitement. The porcupine guy shook his head as if to clear cobwebs. Harruchi made soothing sounds.

Satoru just grunted. If they made a feasible plan, he was all for it. The problem with feasibility, though, was that it probably required the kidnappers to not know the plan beforehand. And with each plan being more extravagant than the last that seemed less and less likely.

Sawamura suddenly grew silent behind him with a hissed "hush!" to Todoroki, and Satoru jolted. Had they finally come up with a good plan?

"Footsteps," his rival murmured. "Outside. One is… shogun."

Todoroki made a questioning noise, to which Harruchi muttered an answer too low for Satoru to understand. He focused instead on glaring at the kidnappers, who now looked suspicious at the silence.

Or at least, they did until the footsteps Sawamura had heard became loud enough for all of them to hear.

Raichi stared at Sawamura as the pitcher cocked his head, lion ears swivelling this way and that.

Making up plans had been fun. It had distracted him from his stint being tied up, which he thought might have been the goal. He didn't know Sawamura well enough to know if that was true or not, but it seemed likely. Especially seeing how serious he was now…

"Heavy combat boots?" the lion murmured. "Police, probably. Though I don't think they'll be able to open that door, what with the glue quirk and all."

"Our captors are probably counting on it," Kominato replied. "Otherwise they would have given up and left before the police got here. They still think they have a chance at their goal; they just switched from kidnapping to a hostage situation since they can't reach us."

"Why haven't they shot me?" someone asked, and Raichi realized with a start that the monster pitcher had spoken. "If they shot me, they could have reached you all and gotten out before the police arrived."

"But not easily," Kominato pointed out. Raichi figured he'd been thinking about the same question this entire time. "Shoot you, or any of us, and they'll be shown no mercy while also attracting more and better heroes. That's the last thing they need when they already want Endeavor's attention."

Raichi grumbled at the reminder. "We're not even related anymore… he and my dad mutually disowned each other before I was even born. Something about each thinking the other was a -" he spit out a word he didn't know the meaning of. It wasn't Japanese, and his dad only used it when he was really drunk and thinking of his brother. Still, he knew it was bad, and was proven that by Sawamura's confused look and Kominato's wide-eyes.

Kominato recovered first.

"I don't think their bad relationship is gonna stop the kidnappers, because it'll still be effective."

Raichi sighed, but nodded. He knew what the other was getting at.

"No one else will care about the bad relationship. Endeavor can't leave a bunch of kids to be hostages, because the public would tear him apart. He'd fall from being the number two hero in an instant. The fact that it's not just me would make it worse."

The instant Raichi fell silent, Eijun's ears picked up a new sound: the cocking of a gun. He had never heard it outside of television before, but the way it sent shivers down his spine to vibrate through his tail was undeniable.

He stood slowly. He didn't know what he was going to do, just that he had to do something.

Harruchi reached out to grab his jersey, probably to stop him, but Eijun just shook him off and kept moving. A hand grasped his pant leg, and he let it. Right now, it grounded him a bit so he wasn't just running on instinct.

Peering around Furuya's fire brought him face to face with the barrel of a gun. Eijun let out a startled hiss and stepped back, though all it caused was the glue guy - the one holding the gun - to smirk.

"You want the kids?" the leader called, leaning in close to the door. "Tell Endeavor we want one hundred and twenty million yen from his personal accounts for the return of his nephew and friends. Once it's here, leave it at the door. If I open the door to any police, one of the kids gets shot. To show that I'm serious -" he nodded at the glue guy.

There was the sound of scrambling from behind the door, a blurted "Wait!", and the gun went off.

Furuya yelped and rocked back on his heels, but otherwise stood his ground. The hand in Eijun's pant leg twisted tighter, someone else latched on, and Eijun almost fell. Maybe they were trying to pull him down. Maybe they just panicked. But whatever it was, Eijun's tail lashed in an attempt to balance himself again and, instead, intercepted the bullet in mid-air.

Eijun yowled in pain as he felt the two connect. The sound tore at his throat and, as he fell to the ground, he saw Furuya flinch and cover his ears. It was a sound that he hadn't made since he was a kid, falling out of trees and scraping his knees. It was a sound that was supposed to gather his pride. But in this situation, that was impossible. The only pack member there was Harruchi.

And yet, as he hit the ground, he felt hands gathering him into a lap and saw furious pink eyes above him. The only one able to respond had done so, and he would never leave him. That was the promise of a pride.

Haruichi's hands shook as he ran fingers through Eijun-kun's hair. The bangs were wet with sweat, though thankfully not blood, as he'd managed to cushion his friend's fall.

"Knock on the door twice if you understand."

There was a pause, but the two knocks came quickly. Haruichi guessed the police were as shaken by the events as they were. He hadn't thought the would be kidnappers would actually shoot one of them, let alone aim for the only one with a connection to Endeavor. Though, granted, he didn't know exactly where it would have hit since Eijun-kun's tail… For all he knew the bullet was supposed to miss. After all, both the police and the heroes would be even more pissed now.

Haruichi looked down at the tail. Todoroki's fingers shook even more than his own as he tied a torn piece of jersey over the deep groove the bullet had carved. The Yakushi player had reverted back to his shy self with the turn of events - not that Haruichi could blame him. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to curl up in his aniki's arms. But that wasn't possible. He had to stay strong for -

The light in the bathroom flickered. Startled, Haruichi tore his gaze off of Eijun-kun and Todoroki to look up.

It wasn't the lighting that faltered, it was the fire. Even as he watched, Furuya's legs buckled and he fell to his knees, flames only half as strong as they originally were.

"Furuya," Eijun-kun whimpered worriedly.

Haruichi pet him some more to try and calm him, but he felt the same way. It had to have been almost thirty minutes now. The adrenaline rush that had fueled the fire at first was probably long gone, and Furuya had never kept it going for so long after. He had to be nearing exhaustion at this point.

With Eijun-kun down for now - while not a serious injury, it was to one of the most sensitive parts of a cat - and with Todoroki being the main target, they might need Furuya's flames later. While the guns were a big problem, plus the glue on the door they didn't know how to get off, it would be best to have a greater arsenal… right?

Trusting Furuya's flames to hide them, he bent down over Eijun-kun and beckoned for Todoroki to join them as he whispered his plan.

Satoru knelt in a bathroom stall, hands tied behind his back. At Harruchi's word, he had finally allowed his flames to die. The result was that he was slowly gaining back energy, but also that - with the protection of fire gone - the four of them had been separated into their own stalls and tied up. They couldn't see one another, but their captors could clearly see them. On top of that, all the toilets were western style, so they couldn't just sit on the floor and communicate through touch.

They had gained a few things, but in their current situation, they seemed rather small: Once Satoru had enough energy, he'd be able to burn through his ropes with his flames; Harruchi actually wasn't tied up due to his thorns preventing any of their captors from getting close to him; Sawamura was now sitting up instead of lying on a dirty bathroom floor; and lastly, if the police or heroes decided to burst through the door, they all had at least a little bit of protection.

Still, the fact they had to do so made him… he didn't know how to feel. On the one hand, he wasn't powerful enough to protect his friends. On the other, he appreciated that they recognised that and helped him. They didn't hold him accountable, and -

"Hello?" someone called from behind the bathroom door.

Satoru stiffened and tested his flames. He was so on edge right now that they simmered there, easily reachable, just below the surface. Only the fact he was so low on power prevented them from flaming non-stop.

"Hello? Who's in charge?" The longer sentence, though still muffled by the door, made the speaker clear. Satoru relaxed on his seat. It was Kataoka-kantoku. He had completely forgotten that Sawamura had identified his footsteps before, and must have been worried this entire time after the gunshot and cry. He wondered which of the policemen had held their coach back from storming the bathroom. It certainly hadn't been Takashima-sensei, who Sawamura hadn't heard and, though he didn't know her well, probably would have joined Kataoka-kantoku.

"Me," the tiger spoke gruffly.

"My name is Kataoka Tesshin. I was wondering if you needed a first aid kit or a doctor, for the fifteen year old boy in there you shot."

Raichi had listened with wide eyes to the Seido coach, but at those last words, he couldn't stay still and silent. He had retreated into himself after Sawamura was shot, but sitting by himself had done him some good: It had let him stew in his anger, both at their captors and at himself for the gun being fired in the first place. Now, he could finally do something about it.

"Sawamura's fine, coach!" he yelled, and cackled when glue-guy whirled on him.

He didn't have those eyes on him for long, though, because Sawamura himself called from the stall beside him, "Worry more 'bout Furuya, shogun; he's used up all his energy for pitching already!"

There was a choking sound from Kominato's stall, and an outraged cry from Furuya's.

Silence came from outside, before - "We can worry about that the practice game later, Sawamura. For now, I'm just glad you're alright." The voice was soft, and it invoked softness in return. Raichi imagined that if he closed his eyes, he would feel like he was curled up with a dog, running his fingers through its fur. Safe. Protected.

Raichi let out a cackle and pretended he wasn't awkwardly wiping away tears with his shoulder.

Endeavor arrived with a bang. Apparently, even glue created by a quirk wasn't strong enough to resist his fire, and he melted it in no time. One second, even Eijun could only just make out the sound of movement and mumbling, the next, the door was kicked in.

Eijun watched as the leader pulled out some kind of special gun, but he never even had the chance to fire it. Endeavor punched them all unconscious first.

Striding in behind him came a teenager, probably around their age, with red and white hair and wearing a jumpsuit as a hero costume. He looked between the four of them and, ultimately, headed straight for Eijun. It was probably the bandaged tail.

"Are you comfortable on the toilet, or would you prefer to wait for the paramedics on the floor?"

Yeah. It was definitely the bandaged tail.

"No, uh, I can walk to them," Eijun insisted, and stood up to prove it. He swayed a bit on his feet, but ultimately stayed upright and stepped out of the stall, hands still tied and all. All that time on the field where his tail was, essentially, illegal, had paid off in better balance without it. "My teammate Furuya, though, probably needs -"

"Shut up, Eijun-kun," Harruchi said sweetly, appearing out of nowhere to stand at his elbow. "Furuya-kun is exhausted, yes, but you're the one who was shot."

"Let us take care of you," Raichi added hotly, jumping to stand on his other side.

"Mm," Furuya nodded as he stepped up right into Eijun's face. Like Raichi and Eijun, his hands were still tied, but that didn't stop him from being intimidating. The action forced Eijun to either sit back down on the floor or be in someone else's space.

Eijun sat back down.

Things moved pretty quickly after that. Todoroki Shouto, as he introduced himself, was only left to watch over them for as long as it took the police and Endeavor to escort their captors out of the bathroom. Once that was done, Haruichi found himself being wrapped in a shock blanket and a policeman trying to move him and the others away from Eijun-kun.

After everything they had been through, they seriously thought he was just going to leave?

Haruichi let his arms grow thorns even as his legs grew roots and he, quite literally, planted himself to the bathroom floor.

Putting his hands on his hips, he gave them the most menacing glare he'd ever seen from his aniki and said, "I'm part of Eijun-kun's pride, so for as long as he wants me here, I'm not leaving."

The policeman stared at him, then looked to another officer and asked, "Captain?"

Said captain stepped forward with a flick of his lion tail, and Haruichi practically collapsed in relief. Surely the older lion would completely understand, and -

"No."

Haruichi swore he felt a petal die. "No?"

"You're not a lion," the captain pointed out. "You're not even another cat. How could you be part of his pride?"

Haruichi had made it through almost an hour of being held hostage, but it was now that he truly felt the urge to kill someone.

"Excuse me?" he asked, ever so sweetly.

The captain opened his mouth, but then paused. Good. At least he wasn't an idiot.

"We still need to take your statement," he said slowly.

Nevermind, he was a complete idiot and Haruichi was going to -

"Can't you just take his with Sawamura's?" Takashima-sensei asked, appearing out of absolutely nowhere. Addressing Haruichi, she added, "Kataoka has gone with Furuya to stand in as guardian. The elder Todoroki will go with his son, and I'm here to act as guardian for you and Sawamura." Turning back to the captain, she smiled and said, "Does that sound alright with you?"

The captain looked from Takashima-sensei, to Haruichi - still planted to the floor - to Eijun-kun behind them, loudly complaining as the paramedics treated his bullet wound.

Apparently giving up, he sighed. "Fine. You can stay with Sawamura."

Haruichi beamed and promptly turned his back.

"Eijun-kun, here. You can squeeze my hand while they rewrap your tail."

The instant they left the bathroom, Satoru was separated from Todoroki. He watched as a police officer led the Yakushi player away, but turned easily to follow a different officer when Kataoka-kantoku touched his shoulder.

"We'll get you an IV to go along with that blanket once we're seated -" the officer said.

There was more, but Satoru wasn't really interested. If he was being honest with himself, the only thing he wanted was to sleep for a thousand years. He didn't even want to pitch, let alone care about the practice game or giving a statement. Though, if that was required for the sleep, he would do it. Especially if it meant reuniting with Harruchi and Sawamura soon. He'd seen the two of them stay in the bathroom, but when he and Todoroki had tried to do the same, the policewoman kept them moving.

"Furuya," Kataoka-kantoku said, voice low and rough. It sounded like he'd been shouting a lot.

Satoru looked up to find the police officer gesturing them into a classroom. Inside, a paramedic was setting up an IV stand.

'Sleep,' he reminded himself, and walked inside.

Raichi's reunion with his dad was a tearful affair. He followed a police officer into a classroom only to be jumped by his dad and wrapped up in a hug, which promptly set both of them to bawling.

The police officer tried to wrangle them - Raichi thought, but couldn't be sure over the sound of crying - and eventually gave up. By the time the Todoroki's released one another, it was to find the room empty except for the red and white haired hero intern.

"Shouto…" Raichi's dad said slowly. "I haven't seen you since… well. I've actually never seen you in person before, though I cheered for you in the UA sports festival. Second place wasn't bad."

Shouto - ? - nodded. "Thank you. I… you didn't have to cheer for me. My dad never told me he had a brother, so I can't imagine your relationship was that great -"

Raizou let out a laugh. "That's an understatement, kid. We've had fights where looking back, I think we might have been trying to kill the other. But that doesn't mean I won't support my nephew." Looking serious, and hugging Raichi close to his chest, he finished, "I just needed to see you compete in that cavalry game to know you're nothing like your father."

Now Shouto looked close to tears, and Raichi was ConfusedTM.

"Wait a second… so, you're my cousin?"

Shouto nodded.

"And we're the same age?"

Another nod.

"But I've never met you, and neither of us knew the other existed?"

A third nod, though slower than the others.

"And… where did the police officer go?"

His dad startled, looking around as if only just realising the only other adult in the room had completely vanished.

Shouto offered, "He left after the first five minutes of crying and got me. He thought I might have more luck getting you to calm down, seeing how I'm interning under Endeavor and all."

The last part of the sentence had more bitterness in it than his dad's rants, but Raichi elected to shelve it and move on for now. A hostage situation and a newfound cousin were emotionally taxing enough on their own. He'd open his ears to his cousin's rants tomorrow.

Raichi announced this to a startled cousin and a proud looking dad. If others knew of the promise, it would stick better. There would be a tomorrow. He refused to let his cousin disappear on him again.

Eijun's tail didn't even need stitches. By the time they had exited the classroom, statement made, a doctor with a skin growth quirk had arrived. They'd unwrapped the bandage and watched his tail mend - though the furrow in it carved by the bullet would, the doctor confirmed, be there forever. Eijun didn't care. He couldn't use his tail during games anyway, so it wasn't like it would affect his pitching, and it wouldn't affect his balance either.

Now, he just needed to face the rest of his pack.

Takashima-sensei had promised him that both Kuramochi and their aniki had been kept informed of proceedings, as his roommate and Harruchi's brother, but in Eijun's opinion that just meant there was no way of hiding the day's events from them.

"We're dead, Harruchi," he muttered, ears flat to his head as they headed towards his room. "Absolutely dead. Mochi-senpai will strangle me and onii-san will kill you, and if we somehow survive them, Miyuki will surely kill us for missing the game. Our only saving grace is that that means Furuya will die too, so at least we'll all be together in the afterlife. We escaped death only to face it once again… oh, Harruchi, what luckless lives we live…"

Eijun buried his face in his hands. When he looked up again, Takashima-sensei and Harruchi pointedly shared an eye roll.

"We'll be fine, Eijun-kun," Harruchi reassured. "Aniki won't kill us, and I'm sure Kuramochi-senpai will at least hold off on the wrestling moves till tomorrow. And the game has just been pushed till next week, so I'm sure we're safe from Miyuki-senpai as well. Ok?"

They had reached his room's door, so Eijun felt like he had nothing to lose by giving a hesitant nod. Harruchi smiled and opened the door.

Eijun had a moment to take in clearly more than just Mochi and onii-san waiting for them in the room before he was jumped by the former.

"Bakamura!" his roommate scolded into his hair. He could clearly feel the other rubbing his cheek against him, and a churring noise reverberated from Mochi's chest. In return, Eijun let out a purr and pushed his head up into the other's cheek, closing his eyes to slits.

Haruichi was allowed to watch Kuramochi and Eijun-kun's reunion for just a moment. After that, he was distracted by the arm slung around his shoulders and a familiar voice in his ear.

"Furuya told us you kept everyone safe. Good job."

Haruichi debated slipping out from under the arm, but then it squeezed tighter and… well. After almost an hour of crouching in a bathroom, wondering if he or his friends would be killed, this seemed like a good place to be. He relaxed into the hold and smiled.

"Furuya's underestimating his own importance, Aniki. Except for Eijun-kun's tail, we all got out safely thanks to him."

Aniki hummed in understanding as he guided Haruichi to a seat on someone's bed.

Kanemaru yelped, "Wait, what about Sawamura's tail?"

Isashiki demanded, "Furuya?! You didn't say anything about a tail!"

Tetsu said, "He's sleeping, Jun. Don't wake him."

Zono grumbled menacingly and cracked his knuckles.

Miyuki, for once the voice of reason, popped the rising tension balloon with a calm, "Said tail is right there, and I'm sure Kominato and Sawamura can tell us what happened."

All of a sudden, Haruichi found almost everyone's eyes on him. The only exception was Furuya, currently a sleeping blanket bundle in the top bunk.

"It got shot," Eijun-kun piped up, and all of a sudden, everyone's eyes were gone. Haruichi relaxed a bit more into his aniki's hold. He hadn't even realised he'd tensed up again, but trust the southpaw to notice that of all things.

"Are you ok?" Aniki asked, voice low so as to not interrupt Eijun-kun's now enthusiastic retelling of how he'd been shot. "Apparently Furuya left out a lot. Though, granted, he seemed like he only wanted to sleep and was thoroughly done with interrogations for the day."

Haruichi laughed, but nodded. "I'm fine, Aniki. Eijun-kun is the only one who got hurt, unless you count Furuya basically running a marathon with his quirk."

His only response was another hum, but the arm around his shoulders slipped down to rub circles into his back. Haruichi closed his eyes and relaxed into sleep.

Satoru opened his eyes to the dim light of dawn coming through the window. His body was, for once, warm in its blanket nest. Deciding he had enough time to sleep some more before breakfast, he closed his eyes.

"Mmmrgh," someone groaned. There was a soft thump as they rolled over.

Satoru lay still, eyes still closed, but now wide awake. Who…?

"Mmmmm," someone else answered.

Now that Satoru paid attention, he could also make out at least three different people snoring. What had happened after he went to bed last night?

Satoru opened his eyes and rolled over to the edge of the bunk. Peering over, he almost fell out in surprise. The room was packed. It looked like no one had left for their own rooms, but at the same time, there were definitely more people in it than he remembered.

On the bunks across from Satoru, Masuko had claimed the bottom for himself, while Tetsu, Chris, and Isashiki cuddled together on the top.

As for the bottom bunk underneath him, Kuramochi and Sawamura were curled up facing each other, but with the lion's head still tucked under the cheetah's chin. Kominato lay with his back pressed up against Kuramochi's. Harruchi had his own back to Sawamura's.

Impossibly, the floor was even more crowded. Zono and Miyuki rested their backs against the bunk, legs sprawled everywhere. The former was drooling and the latter never removed his glasses.

Across from them, Kanemaru, Toujou, and Sakai had all squeezed in to sleep with their backs to Masuko's bunk, legs either crossed or mixing in with Zono and Miyuki's.

Shirasu had claimed the area in front of the TV. He was curled up with his front to Kawakami, who had his back pressed up against Tanba's. Seki and Asou lay back to back next to them. Ono, Miyauchi, and Yamaguchi had all chosen to sleep in the desk chairs, while Nabe and Higasa had chosen two of the actual desks.

The front of the room had been left to the girls: Fujiwara, Yoshikawa, Umemeto, and Natsukawa actually blocked the doorway. No one was getting in or out any time soon.

Satisfied, Satoru rolled over and went back to sleep.
