Mito Yohei x Reader

I've seen little to no content for Yohei and simply couldn't stand for it. The most I could find were a lot of Yohei x Hanamichi on AO3 and only 1 on Wattpad for him and reader. It made me so saddd, he's literally my favorite in the anime I needed to give him some more love myself. Anyway enjoy!

"Do you like basketball?"

Akagi Haruko inquired as she approached the gym doors to watch the team practice. The interhigh tournament was nearing and the boys were especially enthusiastic in comparison to the start of the season and even tryouts

"You could say that" you answered politely, Akagi was here on her own today without her two friends or Sakuragi's rambunctious army

Truthfully you had somewhat of a crush on one of the members of such

She hummed "Well I think I'll be going now" you bid farewell as who'd you'd actually been here to see was absent from spectating today and began to leave

"Ah wait!" She called out to you and you turned curiously back "I'm Akagi Haruko" she introduced herself with a warm smile

"(L/n) (Y/n), I'll see you around" you returned the smile waving a final goodbye before heading home for the evening

— • — • — • —

"Pssst"

You glanced over -fortunately or unfortunately for you, you were also in year 1 class 7. Your seat? Next to Sakuragi- the red head himself had brought it amongst himself to find out if you were a fan of this particular genius

"You're the one from practice right? The one who was talking to Haruko yesterday"

This was the first time you'd actually talked, he was intimidating sure but overall not a bad person

"Uhm yeah, I've seen a couple of the practices why?"

Quite a devious look overcame his rugged features "You must be a fan of mine huh"

You almost choked but managed a simple deadpan "I- well-" he took the stuttering as confirmation "not really, sorry"

A look of utter shock took over his face before being replaced with confidence "Probably because you don't yet know the amazing capabilities of this genius, that must be it!"

"Sakuragi quiet down back there!"

You ducked behind the student in front of you to avoid the teachers glare

Sakuragi kept calling for your attention for a while longer, it was surprising that it was a first considering how restless he usually was in class. Then again he often dozed off or cried his rejections away

Throughout both the class and the short exchanges with the male you kept trying to steal glances at the boy two seats in front of you

Something the self proclaimed genius took notice to, for someone who didn't seem all that bright he was oddly perceptive

"Ohoho I see!" He cackled that devious look returning to his face startling you from the peering over the shoulder of the person in front of you that you were doing

"What-"

"Youuu like Yohei~" he taunted in a singsong-ish voice

"No- that's not-" you turned away with bright cheeks, guilty as charged

Through the playful teasing and friendly smiling Sakuragi didn't seem all that scary anymore

— • — • — • —

"Hey! It's (Y/n)!" Sakuragi approached with his army of delinquents as some would say

"Ah Sakuragi" you smiled as he got closer

The boys beginning to tease as he talked so casually to you "Oh? Over Haruko already?"

"What- not at all! Haruko is the only one for me" he turned to glare at the accusor and proceeded to headbutt them causing you to laugh

"Oh there she comes!" Anyone could see the internal panic as she walked closer

In his panic and true camaraderie Sakuragi quickly grabbed Mito by the shoulders and exchanged places with him so he'd be facing you instead. Catching you off guard and consequently a bit flustered

"Hey?" He greeted sheepishly, his pompadour slightly disheveled making him look the perfect amount of rugged

"Hey- hi!" Mito didn't miss the octave jump or how your reddened face deepened a shade

You both loved and hated Sakuragi right now. But above that wanted to dig yourself a hole in the ground

Mito chuckled finding your overall demeanor endearing which in return made the blush spread to your ears. That sound was your new favorite as of now

"I didn't know you and Hanamichi were friends"

"Oh that, he kind of just started talking to me in class one day. Something about being his fan because he saw me watch practice a few times?"

For all you'd thought Sakuragi was perceptive initially Mito was even more so. Noticing immediately how the tension left your body when Sakuragi was brought up

"Are you?" He asked curiously just trying to keep the conversation going while such talked to Haruko and the rest of the boys participated in their conversation as well. Sometimes unnecessarily to Hanamichis dismay

"No! Er- well I'm not there to see him at least, not that I don't see him- wait that came out wrong"

Mito watched in amusement as you tried to both compose and not expose yourself. That sense of endearment came back to him as well as did the tension to your body

Being under the slight impression that you liked someone else on the team and were trying to hide it. Another Rukawa fangirl perhaps?

— • — • — • —

You walked to practice with Sakuragi, taking the route to the outdoor side of the gym while he split off to the locker room

Haruko whom was already there greeted you. Having talked to her a few more times now while watching practices with a new sense of kinship to the team now that you had befriended the simpleminded redhead

Sakuragi was quite sweet once you got to know him and you hoped Hakurko would come to realize such if she hadn't already

"Are you stupid?" The chatter of the boys was heard around the corner as they approached. Who knows what they were talking about

"Ah you two are already here" the lot of them greeted which you returned now being a bit more comfortable with the four rowdy teens

Whom were still secretly betting on who your crush was, still thinking it was someone on the team. Not sure wether to expand their options after the whole Mitsui scandal you were present for with the girls

There were hardly any practices left until their first match and both spirits and tension was high

But just like how Sakuragi still managed glances at Haruko you did at Mito as well

It was hard not to when he was leaned against the door like that perfectly in sight. Holding his uniform jacket lazily over his shoulder with a soft smile watching his best friend find his calling

His head perking up and looking your way only to find you staring. Embarrassed, you quickly looked away and back at the shooting drills missing the way Mito's cheeks grew a soft pink

— • — • — • —

"Guys I don't think (Y/n) likes anyone on the team" Mito contributed as their wagers increased

Sakuragi surprisingly able to keep his big mouth shut on the whole thing. And perhaps not actually being aware of the waiver they had going

"What makes you say that Yohei"

"Well- I think" he flushed a bit rubbing the back of his neck "maybe I'm her crush?"

The boys erupted into laughter all respectively making their comments of disbelief

"No way she likes you Yohei"

"You really think she'd like you over Rukawa!?"

"Ha! She probably likes cool upperclassmen Miyagi"

The choruses of laughter continued but after he'd caught you staring like that he couldn't get the thought out of his head. Maybe the boys were right. You were out of his league but they couldn't stop him from dreaming

— • — • — • —

Mito would now proceed to analyze any interaction you had like some passionate underpaid detective. His suspicion shifting to Hanamichi, it seemed like you two were closer than he initially thought

In reality the two of you had become each other's wing men in a sense

"Ah Hanamichi!" You ran up to the tall boy with a wide grin not even attempting to hide the giddiness in your step as you approached Yohei's best friend "Guessss what!" You jumped to high five said boy who was in actuality only holding his hands to about shoulder height

"Huh? What is it (Y/n)" although all the guys referred to you with your first name now, hearing it come from his best friend who currently held your attention made Yohei feel a slight pang

It was an odd sensation he'd never felt "Haruko was talking about you! She said you're improving a lot" the classroom was mostly empty and the others weren't around to rejoice in the small celebration the two of you shared

"You hear that Yohei!"

Hanamichis voice brought him out of his thoughts and into the present. That little exchange has now made his whole day as Hanamichi overflows with energy and enthusiasm now. Taking off into the hallway 'accidently' and not so subtly bumping you into Yohei who catches you swiftly

"Hey! Watch where you're going Hanamichi!"

It comes off more aggressively than he intended but the perpetrator is already out of the classroom

After the initial irritation resides his attention returns to you now going to make sure you're okay. The bump itself wasn't very hard but everyone knows Hanamichi can be quite a brute

Only he finds you already captivated by his face

He has very clear skin and it looks great. Even when he often gets into fights it's obvious he takes care of it. With the way his eyebrows are tappered and no remaining evidence of any of his fights

"You're beautiful"

He looks stunned, a slight blush creeping it's way onto those supple features

Now realizing you said it out loud, a look of utter mortification overcomes your features and you make a dive for Yohei's collar to hide your embarrassment away still securely in place in his firm arms. You can hear his chuckle and even feel the reverb from where your face is timidly tucked away in the crook of his neck and chest

He could feel the heat radiating from your face and he enjoyed the way you hid with him from him. It was cute. Especially when you weren't like this around any of the other guys

Finally recognizing that earlier pang as jealousy "Well you look beautiful as well"

You groaned clenching his open school blazer "You're teasing me aren't you"

Another melodic chuckle pushed it's way passed Yohei's lips "I'm really not. Promise" you could hear the smile in his voice and didn't believe him but he gave you a reassuring squeeze nonetheless

Such making you aware of being in his arms. The sudden awareness of this making you squirm. Yohei released his grip only enough for you to be able to pull away far enough to see him face to face

The proximity made your heart race. But the way your face stayed red and the small pout on your lips gave Yohei butterflies

"I think- no, I like you.... a lot" he smiled so genuinely but kept you in place so you couldn't hide in his collar again. Voting to instead hide your face behind your hands "Aww come on (Y/n) don't hide from me, please?"

You nodded but didn't make a move to actually remove your hands yet but he patiently waited. When you moved your fingers to peek he was also blushing quite a bit but didn't look the slightest bit embarrassed or teasing in any way

"I- I like you- I like you a lot too" it came out as a squeak. And it took everything in you to put your hands down but the way he looked at you so softly like there wasn't anything else in the world made it worth it

"Can- can you say it again for me?"

You nodded but got on your tip toes to try and reach his ear. Only for him to slouch down against his desk so you could reach him

It took gathering all your courage and clenching your skirt to be able to do it but instead of saying a word you bashfully pressed a quick kiss to his cheek. He immediately straightened up to his full height pressing a hand to his face looking rather dumbstruck "I could... get used to that"

Comfort of a Lover

Roronoa Zoro X Reader angst one-shot

Finally spotting his figure, you ran to him as best you could. Collapsing to your knees when at his side. His eye shot open at the sound but he visibly relaxed at the sight of you. "I did it (Y/n), I beat them" he declares proudly, but tone overtaken with sorrow

The lifeless body of Zoro's opponent catches your eye. You give him a proud nod "I'm sorry" his voice cracks. Zorro's always calm deep voice cracks. In response, you bite your lip and reel the moss head in. This was it. This would be goodbye. It dawned on you the moment his apology left his lips

"It's okay, my brave marimo. It's okay"

You held him gingerly in your arms. Petting through his head of moss. There was a lot of blood, it stained everything. His eye trailed over your face, studying your features before resting on his chest. Tears welled up in your eyes but you held them all back. Trying to bring him comfort in his final moments. A soft smile forced upon your lips and a light eye smile as well. Your (e/c) windows holding more swirling emotions than you'd like to be transmitting

"Please hold me" he husked. Expression pained. You pressed your mouth into a thin line to avoid the sob or crack of your voice if you spoke. His eye moved to look at your face again and you pulled him even closer

Swallowing the lump you responded as firmly as you could "I'd never dare let go" with your left hand you held his head, right pulling Zoro further into your lap. You held his hand firmly at his side, cradling his dying figure. His once prominent warmth slowly oozing away in the form of crimson. He closed his eye, basking in your warmth finding comfort in your presence. You dare not even blink afraid you'd miss something, this was the last of the love of your life

The tears became too gathered to be able to hold back and a couple streamed down your cheeks "Rest darling-" your voice cracked. You removed your hand from his-his brows furrowing until he felt you shift- moving it to wrap around his shoulders to pull the swordsman into an embrace. Your lips pressed themselves to his forehead and the hand that had been desperately gripping your shirt fell limp to the floor

Pressing an index and middle finger to his neck to reaffirm yourself

When your fingertips didn't detect his pulse anymore, you let a loud cry ripple through your vocal cords. No longer being able to hold back. You broke down, clutching your dead lover in your arms. Clinging to his shoulders and pressing his head to your chest. Your poor twisting chest that roared sorrow. Your heart hammering against your rib cage like a caged beast desperately trying to keep you alive

Though that's the least thing you desired in the moment. Your loud cries signaled your comrades to your location. They all gathered around the pair of your. Grief and pity hanging heavy in the air

Some stories don't have happy endings, yours is one of them

Happy birthday, Mitchi! 🦷🤍

傘 [Umbrella]

Slam Dunk Oneshot | Mitsui Hisashi x Reader Oneshot | Mitsui Hisashi x You

A storm is coming…

🍑 ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ 🍑 ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ 🍑

“F/n-chan!”

“?” You turned to face the voice that called your name by the shoe lockers. It was Mitsui. “Has practice been cancelled for you today too, Mitsui-kun?”

“Coach said it would be too dangerous for us to still be at the gym when the storm gets stronger. So let’s go home together.”

You looked him over, his uniform shirt untucked, duffel bag slung on one shoulder, short hair messy like he had just run with all his might just to catch up to you. You stood on your tiptoes and tried fixing his hair, steadying your other hand on his chest, “You’re only coming with me because you don’t have an umbrella, right? Did you forget it at home again?”

He captured your wrist in one swift motion, “Hey, F/n-chan,” you looked into his eyes, they were crinkled at the corners from his grin, and there was hidden emotion in those dark irises, “It’s rare that I get to go home with my favorite neighbor. I’ll repay this umbrella loan with dinner, okay? We just need to make a quick stop at the konbini.”

His boyish smile was bright amidst the overcast sky. It suddenly occurred to you that he was handsome; like it was something you had forgotten. You pushed the umbrella into his hand, fingers brushing his calloused palm, insisting, “Okay but, the taller one should hold it.”

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Mitsui… He didn’t think this far ahead. He had only meant to hitch a sweet umbrella ride back home with you, walking close together in the pouring rain, his arm around your shoulders. But you had touched him first and his brain short-circuited; in that split-second, he became fixated with the idea of extending the time you had together. He gave his cheek a slap.

In front of you, he’s brazen-faced. But inside, he’s dying.

Under the fluorescent lights of the konbini, he turned his gaze to you as you checked the various bowls and plastic packages stacked neatly on the shelf. You were biting your lower lip, unsure of which instant ramen brand to go with. There was a strange feeling in his chest as he wondered what it was like to be bitten — wait, huh? No, he wasn’t thinking that at all. Not. At. All. Your eyelashes fluttered as you looked up at him innocently, “I want us to eat the same one. Will you pick, Mitsui-kun?”

Mitsui felt dizzy. He can’t take this. (Get a grip, asshole!)

“Yeah, leave it to me.”

He extracted two packets from the orderly pile and gave them to you to hold. “Do you mind if I just get one more thing? I ran out of it at home. Meet you at the cash register in a minute,” and without another word, took off towards the direction of the chilled drinks, his feet taking quick, certain steps. Mitsui knew he needed the cool air to calm himself down somehow.

Ruffling the back of his hair in mild agitation, he stared at the refrigerator for what felt like an eternity. He was just going to purchase a few cans of Pocari, like always, but he needed every second to extinguish that blush that was threatening to take over his entire face.

You peeked from behind him, hair spilling to the side as you tilted your head, “Choosing a sports drink?” He pretended he was fine with you so close. Just why were you so much cuter at this distance? He stretched his arms, trying to reclaim some space, “Seems like it’s going to rain hard until tomorrow. I should be productive at home with my weight training in case practice gets cancelled again.”

You looked at him thoughtfully “I see… I was wrong then. During the walk here, you said your parents have been out all week. So I thought you were going to buy something else…”

Mitsui stilled. Is this really happening right now? The rapid thrum of his heart was echoing loudly in his ears. He felt like he was losing it. “F/n…”

But you, you waved a tube of toothpaste and a soft-bristled nylon toothbrush in his face. It was the special kind that only people who need to take extra care of their teeth would buy. “I thought you needed these essential items.”

He thought his heart might have burst right then and there.

“You’re screwing with me, aren’t you?”

⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

By the time you both had reached the apartment building, your socks were soaked, and Mitsui’s shoulder, too large to be contained in your tiny umbrella, was dripping wet. You were shivering from the cold, and his arm was still draped around you, trying to keep you warm. Your fingernails were turning blue. Getting off at the floor you both lived on, you gently pulled him down by the collar to whisper in his ear, “I’m sorry about your shoulder. I think we both should have a shower first and change into warmer clothes. I’ll come over when I’m done, promise I’ll be quick.” You patted his cheek before you unlocked the door to your apartment unit, disappearing inside.

Mitsui was thinking of taking a nice cold shower. Yes, that sounded about right.

15 minutes later, you knocked on his door holding a bowl containing THREE soft boiled eggs. “Wha- Why did you cook so many?” Your eyes zeroed in on his shoulder, the same one that was attacked by rainwater mere minutes before, and then swept your gaze back to his face, “I felt sorry that I didn’t have any meat for you. Athletes need their protein, and I didn’t want you to be hungry.”

Mitsui’s surprised expression softened, and he let out a short laugh. A light hand on your lower back, he ushered you inside and onto the floor table, his place filled with the savory scent of the ramen broth.

You had dinner side by side on that short-legged table, the very same one where you two used to do schoolwork on in junior high school. Life was simpler then, but this was nice, too. It was comforting to be back here, a hot bowl of noodles prepared by Mitsui himself, with nothing but the steady pitter-patter of the raindrops outside the glass windows. You listened as he told you all about his teammates and their crazy antics. You haven’t seen him this excited in a long time.

When you had both finished your meals, you leaned on his shoulder. It went stiff, was your head heavy? He breathed out, “Sleepy?”

“No, we… just haven’t done this in a while. Right, Mitsui-kun? Didn’t you miss this too?”

He sighed, he was making up for lost time in every aspect of his life. With that honest confession, he took your hand in his, and on the back of it traced reassuring circles with his thumb. He thought about all those times he showed up at your door to get cleaned up after a beating; it was true, he hadn’t shared a proper meal with you in literal years.

After a moment, he says, “Easy. We’ll see each other more often. Come to my games, and we’ll eat whatever you want after. I’ll keep you company while you prepare for entrance exams. I’ll drop by your classroom during breaks to get some of your bento…”

You shoved him playfully before he could ramble any further, your pretty face pouting, “Come on, now you’re just joking around.” He got up and flashed that smug smile of his, before making his way to the kitchen sink with the empty bowls.

Yawning, you placed your head down on the table in his absence. Your eyelids were heavy, and you felt the tension in your neck from all the nights you spent studying. Hoping to find a pain relief patch in his duffel bag nearby, you zipped it open. It was filled with all sorts of things — his basketball shoes, extra clothes, and… a clean, dry, folding umbrella.

This is Eman a Biotechnologist from Gaza. Asking for help is not easy. It's not easy at all. You have no idea how mentally and emotionally tiring this is. But when thinking that the price is my family's life, getting out of here safely and achieve my doctoral degree dream, it just pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal. I'm here as I try to reach out to more people asking for their help to support our family's campaign so we can survive while all you have to do is literally donating even by just the price of your morning coffee or maybe a simple breakfast, So I think I'm not asking for so much. We're really tired of living under these catastrophic conditions for a whole 10 months. Your generosity will not only change our lives but also remind us that even in our darkest hour, we are not alone. https://gofund.me/d597b8e2

I personally don't have the means to do very much but hopefully a few people can pitch in and help out even if just a little bit. I may not have a very large platform to reach a lot of people but I still hope you and your family can gather enough. Stay safe out there ❤️
