ONE

Miyuki Kazuya

Always cool and collected. Has a great side profile. Good at baseball. Well, no, great is the correct word. Even when he sometimes messes up some of the smaller plays. Reliable. Daring. Funny. Charming. Has probably had a dozen girlfriends, or maybe not. Nobody has been able to get any concrete answer on that one question, but he's definitely a lady's man, his fan club primarily consisting of girls and women that claim they would leave their current lives just to marry him if he so much as hinted interest. Or at least that's what many of the magazines, both sports and gossip ones say about him

Not to be too full of himself, but Kazuya thinks that much of what they say has some foundation. Yeah, people like Yoichi and Jun know better but he has to agree that his catching skills are unparalleled. He might also really like sending magazine covers with blown up images of his smiling (smirking) face to Yoichi just to get a scathing reply or an angry call. His only response is his lady killer (annoying) laugh

He knows he's always being watched by someone, but it completely slips his mind that anything could go wrong on that day

The headlines are brutal and he's gotten many messages and calls from his friends. He hasn't really answered because, well, he hasn't been able to. But he knows what they're saying. He's laying at the hospital with bandages covering most of his torso. He has a sense of deja vu, having been in a similar position when he'd been in high school, but this is much, much worse. Something happened and everyone is scrambling to find out what

Everyone except Rei, who has been detained. The tabloids are lapping this up like it's the sip of water they've finally been allowed after being stuck in a desert for months. Except that they're ruining the lives of the people Kazuya loves the most

He sees different news channels trying to get interviews from the few people that make up his friends. They want to know about Rei from high school. They've dug up her whole life's story and put it on full blast. They want to know about Kazuya, as if they haven't already told all there is to say, invented and created his whole career. They talk about how Rei pretty much scouted him from a very young age. The same women that claim they would do anything for Kazuya have turned razer sharp, claiming that "they knew it all along" and that Rei "had it coming"

They all twist the information for entertainment and Kazuya closes his eyes, disgusted at what they say about her.

There had been an accident. His car had been hit and he knows he needed surgery. Later they found out it was all a setup and he went from being one of the richest people and baseball players in Japan to having nothing. His career may as well be over. It will take too long for him to recover. Games won't wait.

Kazuya throws the remote in his hand and wants to tell them all its lies. He knows Rei would never do something like this. She's smart. It doesn't make sense. As much as Rei will follow a gut instinct, especially if it's about recruiting potential, it's always based on logic. There is no logic here.

His name flashes on multiple headlines and all he wants to scream is no, I didn't she say she stole my money!

The machines connected to his body have been beeping for a while now and finally, nurses and doctors run in. They try to get him to calm down but all he can do is repeat It wasn't her! It wasn't her! Rei would never! Tell them to stop!

Soon he feels drowsy and he realizes he's been sedated.

Before he closes his eyes he sees a picture of Rei next to the news anchor. Her hair is down, her eyes look haunted, but her posture is proud. She's not in her usual suit. Instead, she's wearing that dreaded green top, almost drowning her, making her pale skin paler. She doesn't look right. It's not the Rei he knows. The Rei he owes everything to.

He feels the tears burn his eyes.

----

TWO.

It takes a little over a year for things to "settle" down, but once the storm is over, everything is ruined.

Kazuya still manages to get his face blown up on magazine covers, but this time it's for a different reason. He's now considered a victim and he hates the images of him being wheeled out of the hospital. Of the tabloids somehow getting a shot of his bloodshot eyes, his pale skin, and his hunched shoulders. He wishes his attorney had allowed Kazuya to do something, but everything was too precarious, we have to be careful. Careful of what? He can no longer play baseball. He was already pushing the age of acceptability, only being allowed to continue contracts because he was so good, was still quick, was dedicated in mind, body, and soul to the game. But now he was injured, would be in rehab, and nobody knew if he'd still be able to move as great as before. Nobody would take that risk

Rei is finally released, but her life is ruined too. Hers is worse than Kazuya's will ever be. Not just because she's the supposed mastermind of the accident and subsequent disappearance of his capital, but because she's a woman. It's made him sick how she's been torn apart and left behind. She had already been forcefully (through great results) making her own space at the table. This was just the excuse to make her disappear. Nobody wanted a criminal as their associate. The label was tarnished and it would take time to rebuild their name. "Apologies" had been passed around, but nobody would take the risk of allowing her space again

Nobody thought to ask her side of the story, to reach out and help. She was alone. Nobody could legally take what she's rightfully earned, but they can pile fines upon fines. She is "free to go" but they have severely limited what she can do.

It only makes sense that she finally retires. Kazuya goes to see her with the Seidou team. He breaks when he finally sees what they've done to her, all in "his name", to "protect him". Rei is strong, logical, smart, but she can't help but allow herself to show a bit of emotion at that moment. She wipes away at Kazuya's face, "There's nothing left for me here and there's no use crying. The only way to go now is forward."

Chris recommends that Kazuya go to the same rehab facility he went to in America.

Kazuya doesn't want to leave. It feels like admitting defeat, like running away, like he's abandoning his friends.

Yoichi grits his teeth, tells Kazuya he wants to punch him for being so stupid, "But hitting an injured person isn't my style, even though it's YOU."

There is little progress on his health, both physical and mental, and then Yoichi, who has been singlehandedly taking care of him whenever he has a moment to spare, nearly begs him, "Kazuya, please. Go. Don't let this defeat you. I don't want to admit it but I miss seeing that stupidly smug look on your face. Remember what Rei said. You have to keep moving forward!"

He can't help but laugh one night when he can't sleep, Yoichi's words and his concerned face plaguing his mind. He can't believe he almost let this defeat him. He can't believe he was down enough to force his best friend to make such a face, to make him cry for his sake. He feels like he's let everyone down, especially Rei.

He calls Chris a few days later.

Before leaving, he logs into his Twitter account, which, like any other media source, he's been avoiding for the past year. Someone has obviously logged in and cleared his notifications and as his last stand, no first, because even now "they have to be careful", Kazuya quote RTs an article he hasn't even read, but he doesn't need to. He chooses it because it has one of those headlines. He presses send and logs out.

I NEVER said she stole my money.

----

THREE.

It's two years when he finally comes back to Japan. His rehab had ended months ago but there was a part of him that had been afraid to come back. He's sure Yoichi had sensed it, which is why he'd pretty much dragged him back.

He remembers the conversation they had. It had been really late in Japan, he's sure that Yoichi was on the verge of passing out, could hear every yawn he tried to hide, but he wouldn't let Kazuya hang up, "I'm not hanging up until you agree."

Kazuya sighs, "There's nothing for me to do out there anyway. Here, I've been helping at the hospital."

"But you don't even like that kind of stuff! I bet you're bored out of your mind," Yoichi countered, and Kazuya has to admit that he's not exactly wrong. He misses the excitement from the diamond, feeling the burn on his thighs as he squats behind the batter, signaling different plays to his catchers, the feel of the ball as it lands perfectly in his gloved palm, the roar of the crowd as they once more strikeout another enemy batter. But he can't have any of that. This year Kazuya turns 30 and he has become stiff. He can't move as dexterously as before.

He hears some shuffling on the other end, as if Yoichi is changing positions on his bed, "Look. Not many people know this but...this is actually my last year playing."

Kazuya freezes at that. He knows Yoichi is still keeping up with his own records, has won his team countless matches for his boldness, knows they would never want to let him go. He briefly fears that maybe an injury is involved but shakes his head. No, Yoichi would tell him if that's the case, so then, "Why?"

"That's why I called and I need you to come back," there's another pause, not long, "I'm getting married."

Kazuya blanks out for a moment and then stops what he's doing altogether (he turns off the stove, he'd been making breakfast but this is more important. Besides, he had almost been done), "Married? Did you kidnap some poor girl? I haven't even heard of you dating."

"KAZUYA," he hears Yoichi yell, "I didn't kidnap anyone! And that's because my PR team has been making sure to keep things tightly sealed, and I guess we also haven't been able to see each other much too." That last part is mumbled but Kazuya catches it anyway.

Kazuya hums, still disbelieving, but only slightly. He knows Yoichi wouldn't kid about something like this so if he says he's getting married, he's getting married, "Congratulations then. Not sure how someone found you husband material, but they do say there's a type for everyone. How'd you meet her?"

"You are such a dick," Yoichi hisses, "How are we still even friends?"

Kazuya sometimes wonders the same thing. Yoichi has been with him at his best and worst and has never given up on him. He laughs, "My great personality?"

Yoichi snorts right before laughing, "Yeah right. Anyway, so I met this guy-"

"A husband?" Kazuya cuts him off, genuinely curious, but also can't help but tease, "You hid it so well with all those magazines. I'm sure nobody suspected. No wonder your team is doing such a great job at hiding this."

Yoichi yells into the phone, "Let me finish asshole! No! It's not a guy, her name is Wakana! And she's the childhood friend of this guy I met!"

Kazuya makes a tsk noise, "Yoichi, did you steal her from this guy? Are you a homewrecker?"

Instead of getting mad, Yoichi snorts, "As if. Can you believe Wakana was actually in love with Sawamoron for years and he didn't realize."

Kazuya adds, "So you seduced her?" before Yoichi can continue with the story.

"No? I mean, I'm not sure," but they both know that Yoichi probably couldn't seduce anyone even if he tried. Charmed, yes, but outright seduce? And a girl he liked? Very unlikely, "But she'd been tired of waiting and so I met her after she'd confessed and he rejected her."

"Hmm," Kazuya interrupts again, "So you took advantage when she was down. That makes more sense. She was probably so down about being rejected she would have said yes to anyone. Sadly that someone was you."

Yoichi is flabbergasted, "Take advantage?! MIYUKI, that's not- I'd never - just let me finish!"

Kazuya laughs, "Ok, ok. So how did you meet her? I won't interrupt again."

Just like that, Yoichi calms down and Kazuya notes the happiness in his voice as he laughs, not at Kazuya, but at something, the memory perhaps, and Kazuya is slightly jealous. He's not sure at what or who.

"So this kid, Sawamura, we were going to meet up at the park. He had something to tell me, but then I see him running after this girl, yelling about money or something. So I cut her off-"

Kazuya can't help but laugh, "Y-Yoichi, did you, did you attack the poor girl?"

"Didn't you say you weren't going to interrupt?!" Yoichi screeches, but he starts laughing a bit too, "And no, I didn't attack her but, well..."

There's a groan on the other end and Kazuya can imagine his best friend blushing to the tips of his ears, "I pulled her by the arm and she was surprised, but then she did something and next thing I know I'm on the ground, looking up at her and Sawamura is laughing like he's seen the most hilarious thing ever!"

He wonders if that kid was laughing as hard as he is now. He feels the tears tickling his eyes, his cheeks hurt, and he feels the force of his laugh pulling on his stomach, "I already like the girl. What happened next?"

Yoichi lets him laugh but his voice is annoyed, not at him he notes, but at what happens next, "So Sawamoron comes up finally and he knows the girl and I'm confused and just got thrown to the ground by a girl that doesn't even reach my chin, and I ask him why he was yelling about a thief, because that's what he was doing."

More shifting on Yoichi's end, "And you know what he said to me?"

"What?"

"He goes "I never said she stole my money!" so I knock him over the head because yeah, he's right, he was YELLING IT. Everyone in the goddamn park heard it! Made him buy me dinner and everything."

Kazuya feels a lump in his throat but pushes it aside, he turns the stove on again to finish preparing his breakfast, "I guess for Wakana I can go back. When's the wedding? And will I be your best man?"

----

FOUR.

Kazuya hasn't even been home a month when Yoichi walks into his apartment with their old Seidou team. Everyone seems to be there, even the first years like Ryo's little brother and Furuya. There really isn't anything Kazuya can do but move aside so that everyone can come inside. At the end of the group, right after the first years enter, he spots someone he doesn't know. A kid with unruly brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin who looks slightly nervous. His posture is too stiff but he's also looking around curiously.

Yoichi notices Kazuya looking at him and comes over for introductions. He pulls the kid into a side hug, "Kazuya, this is Sawamura, Wakana's friend."

Kazuya looks him over. He's heard a few things about him from Yoichi, "So this is Sawamoron?" he teases. He can't help the lift of his lips as the kid splutters in indignation.

A high pitched, "Kuramochi-senpai! You can't call me that anymore, we're practically family now!"

Yoichi howls, slapping the kid on the back, "You're always going to be a moron Sawamura, hyahaha!"

Sawamura grits his teeth for a second before standing up straight, stretching out his hand towards Kazuya, "Good afternoon, It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Sawamura Eijun! Thank you for inviting me!!"

Kazuya looks at the outstretched hand for a moment before he doubles over laughing. Sawamura let's out another unidentified sound before yelling, "That's so rude Miyuki Kazuya!!" but he hasn't dropped his arm.

Kazuya takes a breath, isn't surprised he knows his name (briefly wonders if he knows who he is), right before taking that tanned hand into his own. Sawamura's hold is firm, if a bit sweaty, nerves probably, "Well, as you so clearly let my neighbors know, my name is Miyuki Kazuya." He pauses, "And I didn't invite you."

Sawamura pales slightly, looks over to Yoichi who just makes a rude noise, "Really Kazuya? You have to be a dick right off the bat?"

Kazuya only smiles brightly, finally letting go of the kid's hand, looks around his house, and says, "Actually, I didn't invite any of you over. Why are you all here?"

The others have already settled into his kitchen and, he peers through the doorway, there are bottles of coke and beer and the smell of oily pizza in the air. Jun has already made himself at home on his couch, a paper plate with a pizza on it. He's halfway into that slice and Kazuya doesn't know why Jun didn't just take an extra slice or two with him before settling down. Ryo and Haruichi are putting things in his fridge. He realizes now how empty his fridge must have been. He had been meaning to go grocery shopping but he supposes he hadn't had the energy to go. Kanemaru is clearing up some of the boxes he had yet to unbox, reading the labels Chris had helped him write, and arranging them accordingly.

He knows that many of these guys are still part of the leagues, wonders how they managed to take a moment to raid his home (notices a few faces are missing, like Yuki but he would have been REALLY surprised if they'd managed to get him to come over). He remembers how they'd made it a routine to visit him when they were at Seidou, knowing he could get lost in strategizing and numbers quickly. He feels a penetrating gaze and turns to see the new kid watching him intently. Kazuya can't help the grin that grows on his face and it's finally starting to feel like home.

He motions the two in, "Well, you may as well come in. Everyone is already inside. Feel free to raid my fridge and make a mess in my new kitchen."

Yoichi laughs, pulling Sawamura inside with him. The kid still looks slightly off-balance, but he sits next to the first years like he belongs and he wonders why this picture looks so right.

Yoichi dives in for the last slice of pepperoni pizza just as Sawamura is about to reach for it and then loudly exclaims, "Hey Kazuya, wanna hear something funny?"

Kazuya has already grabbed his own plate and he wonders how he missed all of these pizza boxes when they first came inside. He grabs one with sausage and mushroom, "Hm?"

"So while we were getting the pizza, we sent Sawamura to go get the drinks, right?"

Sawamura, who had just taken a drink from his can of soda, instantly spits it out and Kazuya is both intrigued and disgusted as he sees the drink mixed with spit cover his table, "Kuramochi-senpai, don't!"

He sees Kanemaru chuckling and Jun roars from the living room. Apparently, there were many witnesses to this apparently funny story. Haruichi pats Sawamura's back softly while the kid's face glows red. Kazuya is momentarily worried he might faint but then curiosity wins out, "Oh?"

Yoichi and he share a look, "Get this, we all gave him our share, right? So he goes in and comes back all mad, saying we didn't give him the right amount, but then, but then," It seems the rest of it is too funny for Yoichi to continue because he starts laughing and he notices Sawamura cover his face. He mumbles something but Kazuya doesn't catch it.

Ryo helps him out. He's also amused, a smirk on his face, "The girl stole his change."

Sawamura uncovers his face and yells, "I never said she stole my money!"

There's a moment of silence before...

Jun. He'd come back into the kitchen to get more pizza, "Who else could it have been? Had to be the girl at the counter, or did you just give up your money?"

Kuramochi, "Easy prey, how you're even a teacher is beyond me."

Kanemaru, "Wait. So it wasn't the cashier?"

Even Kazuya can't help but ask, laughter tickling his words, "Emphasis on "she"?"

Sawamura seems to realize his error and covers his face again. He's mumbling again but instead of being annoyed by the bad habit, Kazuya thinks it's almost cute.

"Haruichi?" Ryo questions and Sawamura uncovers his face to yell, "Onii-san! That's not fair! Haruichi you can't tell, you promised!"

Haruichi is looking back and forth between them, "Well..."

Then Furuya explains all, "He was flirting with the delivery guy."

It somehow gets even louder inside his house and Kazuya can't believe he thought of not returning. It's true that his baseball career is over, but this is where his family is at. This is where his life is truly at. He laughs until the tears in his eyes fall.

They spend hours getting him up to speed on gossip.

----

FIVE.

Even though he's only known Sawamura for a few days, maybe weeks, he's the one that keeps Kazuya company the most. And there's a big reason for that named Kuramochi Yoichi. Even though, or perhaps because, it's nearing the end of his contract, Yoichi gets busier. There are some rumors as to why he's finally leaving baseball, but just like he'd told Kazuya, everything is still under wraps. There are no incriminating photos and no face to put to those rumors jealous girls spread online. Kazuya wonders how things will turn out once Yoichi fesses up but until then, Sawamura becomes his shadow

One, he's not bound to such a strenuous schedule (Yoichi told him Sawamura is the grade school teacher at one of the local schools not far from Kazuya's new place. His new house is conveniently placed so close because it will soon be Kazuya's new workplace and they just happen to be on break now), and second...well, Kazuya's not sure. Yoichi didn't want to tell him. Not exactly

He remembers the last time he actually met up with his best friend.

Yoichi had invited him over for dinner and Sawamura had come up somehow (Kazuya comes to realize that Sawamura comes up in their lives very often). Yoichi had been contemplative. They'd just finished watching a movie and were just sitting there in the dark, the credits rolling.

"You know. If Sawamura had actually been interested in Wakana...I don't think I'd have ever had a chance with her. There's just something about him...he's so..." Yoichi makes vague hand movements, "you know?"

Kazuya laughs and wonders if this is what best men have to deal with with their to-be grooms. Jitters, he's heard them called, but he was sure this feeling was supposed to happen days before the wedding, not so far ahead when there wasn't even a date finalized, "Already second-guessing the married life?"

Yoichi doesn't even take the bait. He just sighs and leans back on the couch, "No, I'm serious. There's just something about Sawamura, he's so honest and hardworking. I can see why Wakana liked him."

"Careful, or I might start to think you actually want to marry Sawamura instead."

Yoichi kicks him halfheartedly, "Dumbass."

Their feet are still touching and Yoichi nudges him, "He's a good kid you know."

Kazuya leans out to grab his drink from the low table, takes a sip, "He does seem like it. Although he's a bit..." He tries to find the right word. Dense? Airheaded? No..."innocent?"

Yoichi laughs, "Yes! The stories I could tell you."

It gets quiet and Kazuya enjoys it. It's been years since the two of them have done something like this.

Yoichi breaks the silence again, "You know...Rei actually tried scouting him."

Kazuya takes another swig of his drink, deep, and tries to wash away the feelings of guilt. He hasn't spoken to Rei since the incident. Hasn't really asked about her although he knows she's ok, thanks to Chris

But he's curious now. If Rei had been interested in him then he was undoubtedly good talent, "What happened?"

Yoichi scoffs, "The idiot turned her down! Said he didn't need any fancy schools to play baseball."

Kazuya can't help the snort he lets out into his drink. He hasn't known Sawamura long but he can somehow imagine the face he'd make, how loud he would yell that statement with conviction, "Too bad." He's sure Sawamura could have been someone if he'd come to Seidou and he somehow feels cheated of something

"What position?"

"Pitcher, a southpaw, nasty throw," Yoichi grips his cup tightly. He looks over at him, "He's not a professional but he does still play."

It's a subtle nudge that Kazuya ignores.

Which is probably why he finds Sawamura so often on his doorstep.

Today he's managed to wrangle Kazuya out of his house, but only because it's work-related. The summer heat isn't terrible today so the two decide to walk and even though it's not that far, Kazuya finds himself lightly perspiring. Perhaps he's let himself go more than he thought, and he begins planning a timetable to get his fitness in a better state. Meanwhile, Sawamura is all smiles

"Hurry up Miyuki Kazuya!" He's already at the side door, opening it with his staff key, and Kazuya wonders if they should even be here. There are hardly any cars parked outside and the school is obviously void of children. Classes don't start until next week

"You don't have to call me by my full name," Kazuya tells him as he enters the building. Sawamura slides past him after closing the door, making sure it locks properly, "You can call me Miyuki-senpai."

"What?!" Sawamura's voice echoes in the hallway, "Why should I call you that?!"

"Because you're younger," he pats Sawamura's head and grins, "And smaller."

He slaps his hand away, a blush on his face, "I'm not small! And you're not even that much taller!!"

He stands closer to Kazuya and points at the few centimeters difference between them. Kazuya pushes him back, "Miyuki-senpai."

Sawamura just rolls his eyes and continues walking, "You really do have a terrible personality Miyuki Kazuya!"

Kazuya just laughs, "Thanks!"

"Not a compliment!" Sawamura yells and then points to the rooms in the hall they're in, "I'm usually here with the kids. Since the school isn't that big you'll probably get kids as young as eight and as old as thirteen in your class too, since you're the only gym teacher until Kuramochi-senpai gets married."

Kazuya nods, "Ok, Sawamura...sensei."

Kazuya notes how easy it is to rile up Sawamura. How his face will quickly turn red and his lips will form pouts or grimaces, his body reacting so honestly so quickly. Now he brings up his hands to cover his ears as he yells, "Don't call me that!!"

"Then stop calling me by my full name, it's weird."

"MIYUKI KA-"

Kazuya somehow manages to raise his voice enough to speak over Sawamura, "So Sawamura-sensei, where do the kids go out to play? Sensei?"

Sawamura looks like he's about to burst and goes off yelling. Miyuki follows him, laughing, their voices echoing in tandem

They end up outside behind the school somewhere. Even though it's small, Kazuya is impressed by how well maintained it is. There is a small playground to the side, which has been recently repainted, signs marking the walls and tape clearly discouraging anyone from touching. The mats at the bottom look worn but not in bad shape. Then there is a track that circles what looks like enough field to be a neighborhood. Most of it is empty and Sawamura's talking about how sometimes the kids will go out there and play soccer or volleyball or really whatever sports they need that requires a lot of space. The only place that looks like it truly has a defined purpose is the baseball field.

He feels excited and scared at the same time, wants to run to home plate, to feel the dirt path against his feet, crouch, and take in the view. But he also thinks this is a bad idea. Maybe he shouldn't have come here, shouldn't have accepted the job. He knows why they want him, why they're willing to wait a year for Yoichi to come and teach. He's not sure if he can take the pressure

"Miyuki-senpai," he turns to Sawamura, who is pouting.

He's not sure why he feels himself calm down, perhaps it's because he'll take any distraction, even if it's loud Sawamura, or maybe it's because Sawamura looks ridiculous with his cheeks puffed out and his eyebrows scrunched up between his eyes. Kazuya smiles. It hurts a bit to do so, "Is this all just for the little gremlins? Lucky them, I didn't have something so big at my disposal when I was at school."

Sawamura suddenly inflates as he grins, "Yeah me neither! I'm from the countryside from a school even smaller than this! Wakana and I had to go to the other side of town with our friends if we wanted to play baseball. That's sort of what it's like here too. We share with some of the other schools and really anyone is welcome to come here as long as the kids aren't out playing."

"Wakana, huh," Kazuya notes. He hasn't actually met the bride-to-be yet, "Is she in the habit of taking people's money?"

Sawamura looks confused and perhaps a bit upset, "What?"

Kazuya only smirks, "I heard how Yoichi met her."

Understanding fills his eyes and he groans, "I keep telling Kuramochi-senpai not to tell that story! It's all lies! Lies! Come on, let's go to the gym, your to-be base."

They head back inside and Kazuya feels the smile that spreads on his face is lighter, amused. It's relaxing being with Sawamura, "So what, she wasn't stealing your money?"

"No!" Sawamura defends, "I never said she stole my money! It was all a misunderstanding!!"

"So what? She was just borrowing it?" Kazuya pushes and can't help but laugh as Sawamura goes red.

"I-It, my, NO! She just grabbed my wallet!! But she wasn't stealing it!"

----

SIX.

Kazuya hasn't been teaching for long when it's time to prepare for Sports Day and he forgets how tiring it can be. Sawamura is ecstatic the whole week leading up to the moment all the kids are let loose to run and play, and he's not sure how the flow of energy works, who feeds off who, but everyone seems to be ready to burst with enthusiasm by then. Kazuya feels like he's the only one who is burnt out. He's not usually used to so much happening, at least not like this

The school asks him to give an encouraging speech before the event begins, which Sawamura jealously admits had been his job the last two years, but he grins all the same. He encourages him to do his best, just like he does to the children and Kazuya isn't sure if he should be offended or glad when he feels the flat of Sawamura's palm on his back.

By then, Yoichi has finally wrapped things up with his team. He still has a few more interviews scheduled, but he's essentially removed himself (as much as he can) from the public eye. He's announced he's going to get married and has been asked many times about his to-be wife, but just like Kazuya, everyone is kept in the dark. On the few nights Yoichi manages to call him, to check up on him, Kazuya teases that maybe this is the most elaborate plan he's ever seen, that maybe this Wakana girl doesn't even exist

Yoichi just laughs, "What? Is The Great Miyuki Kazuya actually curious?"

Kazuya scoffs, "Of course not, and don't call me that. I can't get Sawamura to stop, I don't want you doing the same. It's so weird."

They talk until they're both ready to pass out but Yoichi tells him he'll be there and that he'll bring Wakana too. There's something strange with the way he says this but it's late, they've both been up for too long, and Kazuya doesn't remember the unease the next day

He doesn't remember until Sports Day, right before it happens.

It's usually a big event with parents and friends and the neighborhood coming by to see all their children perform at their best. This school is slightly different because of its size. It isn't just their kids (as Sawamura likes to say and Kazuya, reluctantly, has started to call his students), but a few students from two or three of the neighboring smaller schools. He's never seen the field so packed with kids. There are also a lot of cameras and flashing and suddenly Kazuya feels uncomfortably warm. This year it's not only locals that are here. He can see various news channels documenting the event and there are probably other labels walking around, trying to figure out what the next scoop will be. Or perhaps they've already been hinting at it but Kazuya has been avoiding all the gossip. He briefly wonders if they're here for him and while this might be slightly true, he's sure they're more likely to be here to catch a glimpse of Yoichi and Wakana

He decides to stick with Sawamura for most of the day.

Sawamura seems to be oblivious to all the attention, focusing on the kids, high-fiving everyone who is going to race, yelling encouragements as they pass him by, and yelling out happily as the kids make the baskets and reach the finish lines. Kazuya tries to show his support as well and Sawamura drags him from one event to the next. The parents love him as much as the children do. He briefly wonders if Sawamura will have any voice left for the next day

It's around the time the kids finally get their break for lunch (and that Sawamura pulls him over to an empty patch of grass so that they can finally rest as well, how Kazuya was able to crouch for hours on end before is almost a mystery to him now, he really HAS let himself go) that he starts to hear them

"I didn't say she stole MY money. Did you really not know?" "Is she REALLY here? "The NERVE of her." "We should tell the principal to kick her out. Where is she?"

Everything starts to go quiet as Kazuya looks around. There are too many people around, but he manages to find her by the fence behind the diamond. She's looking right at him and Kazuya feels himself stop breathing for a moment. He isn't sure what he was expecting but she looks exactly like she did three years ago, except somehow better. Her hair is up in her typical bun, she's wearing a pink button-up with her trademark pencil skirt. There's a small coat hanging off her arm, which is the only sign he has that she plans to stay for the whole of the day's events.

He gets up, ignores Sawamura's confused, "Miyuki-senpai?" and goes to meet her.

He remembers how Yoichi had sounded over the phone the other day and realizes that when he said her, he hadn't meant Wakana, he had meant Rei. She's smiling at him and once they're close enough, she says, "Miyuki Kazuya, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"Rei," he all but whispers and he notices people are looking, the cameras are pointing in their direction and he smiles. He's so happy and relieved to see her. He wonders why he hadn't tried contacting her before, where the guilt and fear have gone. He thanks Yoichi, will thank him later as well, for always doing things like this for him, I'm the worst friend, aren't I? He can already see Yoichi's annoyed face as he threatens to punch him if he says anything so stupid again. He laughs, "It's been way too long. I'm sorry."

He finally has the chance to really apologize for everything, to offer his support, to ask how she's been doing, and he marvels at how Seidou is truly a family. His old teammates haven't just been trying to get him to move forward, they have also been helping Rei regain a semblance of her old life.

When they part, it turns into a game. They both know how things will go so they are bold, they grin, and take each other's hands in a firm shake.

"I'm sure I'll be seeing you on the field in the future." It's not a question.

"Of course." It's a promise.

At the end of the day, Sawamura and he are the last to leave the school since Sawamura offered to stay and clean up (and with him Kazuya). The sun is already on the verge of setting and Kazuya can't wait to take a bath and then crawl into bed. He doesn't want to wake up until a week from now.

As they're walking home (or really walking to his house because even now, he's never really asked where Sawamura lives, he imagines not far), Kazuya notices how quiet Sawamura is. He bumps his side with his shoulder, "Lost your voice with all that yelling?"

Sawamura looks over at him and shakes his head. Kazuya is momentarily mesmerized by this side of Sawamura. Quiet, almost shy. He's not pouting or angry, his features calm, slightly sharp on his handsome face. The remaining rays of the sun make his eyes look slightly gold and Kazuya wonders why he's suddenly noticing these things, "What's wrong then?"

The temperature had dropped enough that they were now comfortably wearing jerseys. Sawamura mumbles into the collar of his jersey and Kazuya is annoyed, but only slightly. It's that bad habit of Sawamura's and he wonders if he could tease those mumbled words out of him, is about to do that when Sawamura stops walking, closes his eyes, and yells out, "Do you like Miss Rei?!"

Kazuya is left speechless. At least that answers his other teasing question. Sawamura is as loud as always, "What?"

Sawamura opens his eyes, he's blushing and he can't seem to look him in the eye, "Well, there were those rumors...and then today...I mean, she's really pretty and just..." He goes quiet.

There's a lot here he wants to clear up, but he figures he should start with Sawamura's question, "No. At least, not really."

There's a question in those golden-brown eyes and Kazuya continues to explain, "I'm sure everyone on the baseball team liked her at one point. We were all teenagers and she's a really attractive woman, but that's it. Rei...she scouted me, believed that I could go far, pushed me, pretty much built my whole career. She's not really like my mom, not really an older sister...but yeah, like family."

They're both surprised by how honest he's been, which leads him to his own question, "Rumors? So you knew who I was. Is that why you called me by my full name?"

Sawamura looks embarrassed, "Yeah. I, I was curious about Seidou. I bet Kuramochi-senpai already told you about Rei and her coming to scout me?"

Kazuya nods.

They start walking again, "Well, I started seeing your name come up a lot. I always had trouble with my own catchers, I wasn't very good, sometimes my throws would go wild. I guess. I mean, they felt right, but Wakana, she was my main catcher, it was hard for her to catch them. Anyway, I started following your career. And just, well, then that happened and the rumors..."

They're quiet for a moment. Kazuya thinking back to how Yoichi had called Sawamura's pitch a nasty throw, the way Rei had pointed out Sawamura's staring while they talked and how Kazuya should catch for him, "When I saw him pitch, I knew you two would make a great battery. I knew you would be what could push him to greater heights, and that he would influence you too. All of Seidou. He has the heart of an Ace."

He's curious.

"Do you regret it?"

It's been a few minutes but Sawamura follows his question, turns to him, conviction in his burning eyes, "Never!"

----

SEVEN.

Kazuya finally gets to meet Wakana on his birthday. Yoichi tells him they're going out to celebrate at a fancy restaurant and he's not allowed to say no. Since he is the best man at their future wedding, he supposes it would be rude to not meet the bride-to-be so he pulls out one of his old suits, is relieved it still fits, and decides that's enough effort needed on his part. He also decides to forgo the tie and leaves the first two buttons undone. It's classy.

He's not surprised to see Sawamura also at the restaurant, and he's also not surprised to see him sporting a loud outfit. He's also wearing a suit but his shirt is a bright blue with baseball patterns, he's pulled up the suit jacket sleeves to his elbows (which, might he add, does not match his pants, but it somehow works), and he's actually wearing a tie. There's a girl trying to tame his hair but she soon gives up when Sawamura spots him and calls out, "Miyuki Kazu-mmyaa."

"Eijun!" the girl chides him, "We told you to be quiet!"

She's covering his mouth and let's go once he settles down. He rubs his hand through the back of his hair, ruining whatever work the girl must have done, "Sorry."

The girl shakes her head and turns to him, "So you're the famous Miyuki Kazuya, in the flesh."

Kazuya smiles, "And you must be the infamous money stealing Wakana."

They shake hands and Wakana laughs, "The one and only."

Yoichi comes up behind him, "Good, you're here. I thought I was going to have to send someone to drag you out of bed."

They're escorted to the back where they can dine in private. Yoichi walks in the back with him and Kazuya watches the way Sawamura's body faces Wakana even when they're walking. The way she pushes and holds his arm, laughs at what he says. The way that Sawamura lets her choose where she wants to sit and then makes space so that the table decorations aren't in her way. He sits across from her.

Yoichi whispers at him, "See what I mean?"

Kazuya doesn't need to see them interact to know why Wakana once liked Sawamura, but it definitely solidifies their closeness.

Wakana is very pretty. She has short hair that is slightly tinged with red, natural, she mentions when she sees him looking at her, "I get asked a lot." Apparently, it's a color she inherited from her great grandmother

She's as small as Yoichi claimed her to be, which makes her look tiny with her current company. She's wearing a simple and modest blue dress that matches perfectly with the ties Sawamura and Yoichi are wearing. She's just as honest as Sawamura is, and Kazuya wonders if all the people in his life are like that. It's refreshing. He instantly likes her and knows that Yoichi will be happy. It makes him happy too.

They're waiting on their food when Sawamura tells Yoichi that "Miyuki Kazuya" called Wakana a thief. Yoichi puts down his glass of wine, sending his best friend a glare, "I should have known you wouldn't behave!"

Sawamura is quick to respond, "It's all your fault Kuramochi-senpai! You keep telling that stupid story!!"

"The only thing stupid about that story is YOU Bakamura!!"

They look like children snapping at each other across the table and Wakana is just laughing. She turns to Kazuya, "Did he tell you what actually happened?"

Kazuya nods, "Sort of. Something about borrowing a wallet."

Wakana smiles, "Something like that, yes."

"See! I told you I never said she stole my money!!" Sawamura gets up suddenly but nobody notices the waiter coming with trays until the sound of plates falling to the ground and shattering are heard. But the worst part is probably the cake that Sawamura tries to save. Part of it lands on his hands, some of it on the table, but a big portion of it (thanks to Sawamura's interference), is now all over Wakana's dress. Everyone holds their breath, the waiter looks horrified.

Kazuya knows he shouldn't but he snickers and that seems to bring everything back to life. Wakana laughs and tells the waiter it's ok, she pats his hand reassuringly, "But can we get another cake? We'll pay for both of course."

The man is so relieved, he smiles and nods, and says he'll be right back to clean up, that he can also ask someone to help her out. Sawamura looks constipated and ridiculous standing there with chunks of cake in his hands.

"This is so coming out of your wallet Sawamoron!!" Yoichi cries out as he grabs chunks of cake from Wakana's lap and throws it on the table, "And YOU, I can't believe you did that!"

Kazuya only smirks, looks over at Wakana, and says, "Welcome to the family."

It seems like Wakana isn't just depleting Sawamura's accounts, but also stealing hearts.

----

OMAKE (months later)

It's the wedding night when Sawamura decides to crash at Kazuya's house. They're both exhausted and since they're both going to the same place the next morning, Kazuya doesn't make a fuss. When they make it home, they fight about who will take a shower first and Kazuya wins because, ultimately, this is his house so of course he has dibs. Sawamura pouts as he heads to the living room, ok, ok, just go you evil tanuki bastard.

When Kazuya comes out in a white t-shirt and boxers, he finds Sawamura already passed out on the couch, his arm and leg fallen off the side. He notices that he at least had the sense to take off his suit jacket and shirt. He's only wearing his undershirt and his pants have risen up his shins. Everything else is thrown against the back of the couch and his keys, cellphone, camera, and wallet, are all on the table. He's snoring lightly, his breath coming out more like little sighs, and there's a bit of drool where gravity has decided to do its job.

He's about to wake up Sawamura when he remembers something Wakana told him the first time they met. Right before they left the restaurant, she had pulled him aside, telling the other two NOT to come closer, Next time you get the chance, look inside his wallet. I promise it'll be worth it, and don't worry, he won't mind. He yells a lot but that's all there is.

The wallet is right there and Kazuya wishes it had landed the other way. At least like that, it wouldn't feel like he was snooping. No, he wouldn't. He doesn't really understand why Wakana wants him to look inside, but it's not really any of his business. He shakes his head and walks towards the couch. Before he can even reach forward, Sawamura shifts and mumbles a sleepy, "Kazuya."

Kazuya freezes at the stupid smile on Sawamura's face. He feels his face heat up and he's not sure why. He briefly glances at the wallet again, then moves to shake Sawamura's shoulders.

It takes a moment, a testament to how tired Sawamura is, before his brown eyes open and he sleepily mumbles, "Miyuki Kazuya?"

Kazuya hesitates for a moment. He doesn't have extra bedding and he knows sleeping on the couch is uncomfortable. They were going to share the bed, just like he always does whenever Yoichi visits, but suddenly he wonders if maybe this isn't a good idea. He tells Sawamura it's his turn to shower and nearly drags him to the bathroom. He stands outside just to make sure he doesn't pass out inside and somehow Sawamura looks even more drowsy than before. His skin is red from the heat of the water and they head to the bedroom.

Sawamura is out before his head hits the pillow. Kazuya arranges him on the bed properly and covers him with the blanket.

He finds it hard to sleep, the sound of his name coming from Sawamura's sleepy lips echoing in his head.

A/N:

I scoured Reddit for some inspiration and found this interesting prompt: "I never said she stole my money has 7 different meanings based on which word is emphasized." I sort of followed the prompt? LOL

things to note: 1. I just googled "prisoner clothes in japan" and green outfits came up, hence why Rei is dressed in a "green top" 2. I don't actually know how legal proceedings go in japan, if it would take longer or less (but this is fanfic so let's not question it) 3. Again, I don't know how long rehabs take but I'm not aiming for accuracy 4. If it wasn't obvious, Sawamura wasn't in the original Seidou team in this fic (lol) 5. Sports day apparently apparently happens around October (and again, Idk much about it)

I don't think I've ever written anything "complete" for this fandom but I hope you all enjoyed, especially you daiyanerd ^^

p.s. This got out of hand omg it's so long and hardly anything happens i hope you guys don't mind Orz Also, I kind of want to write more for this, maybe Sawamura's side of some of the events, maybe just a continuation, idk....

♥️👄♥️

Please consider Nori with a tiny ponytail

So, i made this wallpaper of my lovely sunflower

Hey there~ May I request a fluffy scenario with Eijun? Where he and his s/o were playing a snowball fight, then his s/o suddenly started throwing snowballs while copying Eijun's pitching style (but failing miserably) and Eijun laughed at his s/o, although he found it to be very cute~ (I hope this makes sense??? xD) Good luck on your blog, I can't wait to see more! Thank you ♡

Aww this sweet sunflower child~ Thank you so much!

It had been quite a while since Sawamura had a day off. Due to the intense amount of snow that had fallen upon Seido, all school and after school activities were cancelled. It had also been some time since he had spent some quality time with you. So what better way than to have a snow date with some hot chocolate?

When you met up with Eijun, you nearly burst out laughing. He looked like was prepared for the next ice age, wrapped in copious amounts of sweaters and scarfs. Walking up to him, you fixed his hat that was haphazardly placed on his head

“So what brought on this new look?” you giggled.

Sawamura pouted, “It’s been a while since I’ve had to dress for snowy weather. Besides I can’t go and get sick! What kind of ace would I be if I let down team cause of a cold? I can’t even show off my new pitch since we didn’t have practice. That would have shut Miyuki Kazuya up!”

You laughed off his pout. Reaching don to collect just enough snow to make a decent snowball, you hid it behind your back and readied yourself for war.

“Oh come on Sawamura-Kun. Use that negative energy to do something productive. You can still practice your pitch even if you don’t have practice.” Sawamura looked confused.

“Really? In what way?”

“Maybe something like…THIS!” you braced yourself as you throw the snowball right at his chest. Letting out an initial scream of surprise, Sawamura accepted your challenge. “Alright you’re on!”

Going back and forth, this snowball battle seemed relentless. You had noticed that Eijun had taken your words into consideration, throwing the snowballs as if he was on the mound. His form was so firm and his eyes glowed with such intensity it gave you chills.

After studying his movement, you wanted to try it out yourself. Relaxing your body, you assumed his form. Taking a deep breath, you pulled your arm back and launched the snowball at full force. Turns out your full force was only about two feet.

Blinking at what had just happened, Sawamura took a minute to process things before he fell over laughing. “Hahaha Wh-what was that (Y/N)? Were you trying to pitch just now?!” Sawamura rolled on the snowy ground, clutching his hurting stomach.

“Shut up!” you turned your head pouting. Wiping the tears out of his eyes, Sawamura dusted himself off before walking over to you. “Here, let me show you how to do it.”

“Wait what?!” Before you could even protest, Eijun had already made a fresh new snowball, placed it in your hand, and wrapped himself around you. As he shifted behind you trying to maneuver your arms with his hands, you felt the warmth that radiated off of him. Unconsciously you leaned into his touch while he was explaining his technique.

“Don’t get comfortable with me yet (Y/N). You still have a lot to learn” Sawamura teased as he corrected your posture. He couldn’t help but give you a quick peck on the cheek. “Still, it was cute that you tried.” That whole day the two spent outside practicing until you could actually pitch a fastball, or at least one that went farther that two feet.        

Raichi, Miyuki and Mei impressing their crush? You can decide if they suceed or not :D

Here you go, hope you enjoy~

Raichi: On the field is where he feels more confident. There is no greater feeling of achievement than when he hits a home run off a monster pitcher. Raichi was a beast at home plate, and everyone knew it. Everyone except you. Unlike his usual loud personality, Raichi was a little shy when it came to anything other than baseball. He had wanted to talk to you for such a long time but could never really get the courage. He tried to ask his teammates for advice, but all they gave were things like “Stop being a chicken and just ask her out” or “Think of her like she’s one of your precious bananas.” When he overheard you talking with your friend about how you like when guys try to impress girls, he got an idea. After much practice and confidence building, Raichi simply asked you and your friend to come support the baseball team at their next game. When you agreed, Raichi was so pumped. The day of the game right before it started, Raichi scanned the bleachers to look for you. Once he had spotted you, he eased up a little and began to focus on the match at hand. When it was his turn to bat, Raichi was so full of energy and excitement, he was confident that he would hit it out of park. And that’s exactly what he did. Making his way around the diamond, he turned towards where he last saw you and pointed at you, dedicating this home run success to you. Did it work? Let’s just say Raichi left that stadium laughing like an idiot with a huge red hue on his face

Miyuki: He was good looking. He was popular with the ladies. He was the captain of the baseball team. Did any of this impress you? Hell no! Miyuki’s snarky attitude and his over confidence were enough to make you want to throw him in a dumpster. While he may have not caught your eye, however, you definitely caught his. He was used to his fangirls swooning at the sight of him, but you were different. You were intelligent and independent and sure as hell tough enough to tolerate him. So he tried everything to try to impress you. Inviting you to his games, making dorky comments to make you laugh, he even tried cooking for you. And each and every time, you’d shoot him down. But Miyuki wasn’t about to give up. “No matter how many times you say no I won’t quit, Princess.” You smirked at him. If there was anything you admired about Miyuki Kazuya, it was his determination. “Alright tell you what. I’ll go out with you one time. If you can impress me then, I’ll consider your past propositions.” Miyuki snickered, wiggling his eyebrows as he says, “You won’t regret it Beautiful.” And regret you did not.

Mei: At first, Narumiya didn’t even think he had to impress you. The school did it for him. Heck, the whole Kanto region should have done it. But you weren’t artificial like most of his fan base. Yeah sure, Narumiya Mei was good at what he did, but it would take much more than that to catch your attention. Mei even dedicated games for you, which was a sweet gesture. If only he didn’t mess it up by saying they only won because he was the ace. Mei’s irrational pride gets the better of him and he decides to quit trying altogether. It isn’t until Harada knocks him down a peg or two that Narumiya finally gets it. His way of impressing you is pretty simple. He asks you out in a genuine way. On your date, Narumiya really tries to refrain from being conceited and that in itself is a pretty impressive feat. You notice his efforts and you smile. It was hard to not be the center of attention when you were an ace. So the fact that Mei was trying his hardest to be a normal person was admirable in your eyes. In the end, Mei’s hard work really paid off in the end.

fluff with sanada, carlos and mei where they smooch their S/o's face after they show themselves in a new (cute/sexy) outfit or smth like that??? anything with that is good with me, i hope it's not too confused! Thank you very much~(/∇＼*)｡o○♡

Not confusing at all sweetheart! Hope you enjoy~

Sanada: He arrived to pick you up early, sitting on your couch waiting for you to finish getting ready. The winter formal was one of the most extravagant events at Yakushi. And Sanada was dying to show off his beautiful S/O. He had asked you at least a few times before you said yes. You never really bothered with these types of things. But when you saw how excited Sanada was about being able to slow dance with you, you couldn’t refuse. After 3 hours of getting ready, you finally came down to greet your boyfriend. Hearing your footsteps, Sanada stood up and stretched. “Wow (Y/N), you sure did take your time. I’ve been sitting here forev-..” There you stood with a beautiful dress, a light blush crossing over your features. “Do you like it?” You asked nervously. Instead of giving you an answer, Sanada crossed the room quickly. He took your face into his hands and stared straight at you. “I love it and I love you.” He leans in and places a kiss to your lips. When he separated, he quickly went to peck little kisses all over your face. Swatting him off you walked out of your house, ready to show off at the dance with your amazing boyfriend.

Carlos: Wearing your new outfit you had bought the other day, you made your way to meet up with Carlos. It had been a while since he had asked you out on a date, so you wanted to dress your best. When Carlos saw you he let out a low whistle. “Hey you’re looking quite cute today (Y/N). All of this for me?” Walking closer Carlos kissed you on your lips, waiting some time before letting go to catch breath. “Okay Mr. PDA, are you ready to go now?” you giggled as he put his arm around your shoulder. “With you looking like that I’d love to go anywhere with you.” Carlos continued to give you quick little pecks all over your face. “Though I wouldn’t mind seeing you out of those clothes either.” That earned Carlos a smack on the head.

Mei: You tried to catch up with Mei after one of his games. But of course, it was pretty hard to do that with all of his fans crowding around him. You had worn a really nice sundress in hopes to impress your boyfriend, but it seemed like it would have to wait for another time. Just when you were about to head out, you heard your name being called out. “Hey (Y/N)! Wait!” Mei shoved through the crowd to meet up with you. He took a step back to see your outfit. “Wow you look great today (Y/N). I could hardly recognize it was you!” You began to pout when Mei patted your head. Forcing your head up, you meet his gaze. Mei leaned in closer and whispered “Thank you for coming out today.” And with that he gave you a huge kiss on the forehead. As the both of you were walking out, Mei noticed the stares you were attracting, specifically from the opposite gender. Without warning Mei quickly turned you and planted one right on your lips. Surprised from the kiss it took you a while before you began to return it. Once Mei was certain that the other boys got the message, he let your lips go. Not allowing you to question his actions, he continued to walk happily making a mental note to himself to advise you to never wear that dress again in public.

Hallo! May I request a date gone bad with the Seidou members + Narumiya Mei and their ways to cheer their partner up. Thank you~

Aw these poor dorks. Here you go~

Yuki: Noticing the date had gone not the way he had planned, Tetsu curtly apologizes about whole ordeal offering to take you out some othertime. Though he was slightly confused when you quickly refused to play shogi with him as a replacement date.

Isashiki: When his date with you went bad, Isashiki began sputtering out apologizes with a huge blush on his face. If all else fails, Jun takes you back to his dorm where the both of began reading his current shoujo manga.

Ryosuke: Not minding that the date went horribly wrong, Ryo recovers by spending the night watching horror movies with you. Cuddling withyou while enjoying a corny movie was definitely better.

Masuko: When you guys weren’t able to enter the fancy restaurant without a reservation, Masuko quickly solves the problem when he takes you out to a really good fast food joint where the both of you stuff your faces with burgers and fries the whole night.

Tanba: This poor baby was mortified. Not knowing what else to do, it was up to you to take the initative and take somewhere to cool his head. So you ended up going to get some ice cream.

Chris: Like the gentleman he is, Chris offers to take you on another date to replace this one. A nice walk downtown was his way of apologizing.

Kuramochi: Laughing off his misfortune, Kuramochi decided totake you to a park. Playing on the swing set while watching the sunset near a pond was worth the crappy date.

Miyuki: This dork would try to be smooth, playing it off as if it was supposed to happen this way. He invites you over where he cooks your favorite meal.

Nori: Nori was so nervous when the date started to go wrong. But it wasn’t anything a little music couldn’t fix. So there you sat, on a park bench cuddling with Nori while sharing earbuds and listening to music.

Sawamura: He honestly didn’t even notice the date was going bad. When he does, Sawamura starts feeling a bit antsy and guilty. He decided to take you to the batting cages, where the both of you could have a good time.

Haruichi: Spotting a small café just around the corner, Haruichi takes you out on a small coffee date as an apology for the first one.

Furuya: Like Sawamura, he thought that the date was going pretty well. When he clues in, Furuya is honestly at a loss for words. He wins you a cute polar bear plush from the claw machine at the local market.

Mei: Sincerely feeling horrible about the way it turned out, his way of salvaging the date is by retelling all of his past stories. A little on the boastful side but nonetheless entertaining.

Good luck with the blog! 😄 can i request. Some nsfw steamy makeout with miyuki and things get more heated but then someone walks in!

oh man this took way longer than it should have. i’m a little rusty on smut so i apologize if it not what you had in mind. anyway i hope you enjoy!~

You knew this was a bad idea. Coming out to the baseball field after school hours was risky, especially when you had no business there. But Miyuki assured you that everything was fine. He told you that nobody came by during the night time. Most of the guys were out doing some extra practice in the field house. By his standards, there was nothing to worry about.

Finally settling down on a bench in the dugout, you let out a large sigh. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Miyuki sat down beside you, draping his arm around your shoulder.

“Would you relax a little? Just trust me.” You loosened up a little after that. He had never given you any doubt before, so trusting him was a pretty solid plan. “If anyone catches us I’ll just say that I forgot my mitt so I came to get it!” Well there went your trust.

“Come on! At least come up with something believable.” You gave him a small peck on the cheek before leaning into his touch. Kissing atop of your head, Miyuki shifted so that you were facing him.

“You know (Y/N), we don’t really have much time out here,” he pushed a lock of your hair behind your ear, his eyes glancing over your lips. “Maybe we could make this night a little more…romantic.”

Caressing your cheeks in both palms, Miyuki leaned in to place his full lips on yours. Heat radiated off of your face as you moved closer to him, wrapping your arms around his neck.  You felt his tongue brush up against your bottom lip. Instead of giving in you decided to test his patience a little.

You began roaming his neck with your hands, running them down his shoulders and across his chest. You started moaning when your hand teetered on the seam of Miyuki’s shirt, practically touching his skin. At this Miyuki let out a loud grunt, hands leaving your head to explore your body.

As he roamed all over, he left your lips and immediately started on your neck. He licked, bit, and sucked thoroughly, making sure to leave his mark on you. His hands ached to touch you. From your neck to your chest, all the way down to caressing the top of your thighs.

“Kazuya!” You let out a small yelp as he sucked a certain spot on your neck while simultaneously slipping his hands underneath your shirt. Miyuki moved his mouth down to your collar bone, finding your clothing to be quite a problem. Feeling the heat from your bodies you quickly began un-buttoning it. Admiring your beautiful body, Miyuki wet his lips as he watched the edges of your shirt frame your body. He pulled you into his lap, moving you closer.

Wrapping your arms around his neck again, you questioned your actions. “Are you sure we should be doing this here?” Kissing and sucking on your newly exposed chest, you felt Miyuki smirk. “Why not? Wouldn’t it be exciting if we got caught?”

He moved his touch to your back, fiddling with the clasp of your bra. Once he got it undone he rushed to push off both articles of clothing. A shiver ran down your spine as the cool breeze brushed against your bare back.

“You look gorgeous” Miyuki let out softly. His fingers gently grazing over your stomach. “How am I going to explain this if someone walks by?” you gesture your whole naked torso. You quickly reach down to grab your shirt, draping it over your shoulders. “Wow. I think you look sexier like that.” Miyuki ground your hips against his, wrapping his fingers tightly around your waist.

Biting your lip you ran your fingers through the silk hairs on Miyuki’s neck. “You think so?” you laughed, leaning in to whisper into his ear. “Because I think it would look better if I was wearing your jersey instead.” You felt Kazuya shiver when you placed kisses starting from his ear, to his jawline, till you reached the edge of his lips.

Miyuki smirked when you began grinding on him. You both needed the friction to ease the painful pleasure. As if he had read your mind Miyuki quickly got rid of his own shirt, leaving you both bare and half naked in the middle of a public space. Shifting his hands up to caress and slightly grope your breast, tweaking your nipples just enough to get you moaning. “You know I always found it really hot when you make those noises”. Miyuki places a few kisses right above your perk mounds. “Especially when you say my name.” He gently sucks on one pert bud while massaging the other in his hand. “Ahh K-Kazuya!” your grip on his hair grows tighter as you hold as close to your bosom as possible.

You felt your lower half grow more and more heated and moist. You couldn’t take this much longer. You run your hand across Miyuki’s exposed torso, spending time tracing those hard taut ab muscles that he worked so hard to gain. God bless intense baseball training.

Tugging at the seam of his sweatpants, you hoped Miyuki would take a hint. You should have known better. The little tease placed a chaste kiss to your lips, tugging at your bottom lip while he raised his hips to meet yours ever so slightly. You let a deep breath when you felt his hardening arousal grind up against your core. Your lips meet his again, this time nipping at his lips to show him you meant business.

In a battle of power Miyuki immediately slipped his tongue in and brushed up against yours. He knew he was in for a quite heated session. His hands groped your breasts one last time before reaching down to the button of your pants. He quickly popped it open. His eyes gave an apology as if he was sorry that he couldn’t wait any longer. Honestly you were glad because you couldn’t take much more of this foreplay.

As you were reaching to undo his pants, you heard loud footsteps coming near the baseball field. “Miyuki Kazuya! Where are you?!” Sawamura’s voiced boomed in the dugout. He peeked into the dugout before the two of you could barely look publicly acceptable. “Catch my pitches Miyuki Kazu-, (Y/N)?” Sawamura wasn’t expecting you to be there, especially with your shirt half thrown on your body, pants unbuttoned and hair disheveled. But of course, Sawamura Eijun was the sweet, innocent sunshine child that he was and thought nothing of it. “What are you doing in the dugout (Y/N)?” You blushed bright red at turned to Miyuki for an excuse. When you saw him just scratch the back of his head awkwardly you let out a deep sigh.

“I was helping Miyuki find his mitt. He said he left it in here during practice.” You stood there, holding your breath waiting for Sawamura to really understand why the two of you were here for. Fortunately for you Eijun wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. “Well then what are you two waiting for? I’ve been practicing a new pitch that I want to try out!” And with that Sawamura left you both alone in disbelief.

You turned to face Miyuki, scowling at him when he began to snicker. “That was close.” You pouted, “I thought you said we weren’t going to get caught” “But wasn’t it fun though?” Miyuki laughed, taking your hand in his and leading you out of the dugout. You smiled “Well it was getting good until a certain hyperactive pitcher interrupted. I was kind of hoping we could continue though” you muttered under your breath as you walked back towards the dorms.

“Well you know” Miyuki stopped you. “You can always help me out whenever you like,” your face turned four shades of embarrassment as Kazuya ran your hand against his semi-hard erection. “You know where to find me. I’ll leave the door open in case you decide you want to have some fun tonight.” And as if nothing ever happened Miyuki gives you a sweet peck to the lips before leaving you standing there in surprise. You smiled and giggled to yourself, ‘Yup this was totally a bad idea’. You thought as you walked into his dorm, waiting to give him a surprise when he got back from practice.

Hello~ Can I request Sanada and Miyuki getting jealous when their s/o is getting friendly with one of their teammates? Thank you and good luck with your blog~

Thank you bunches lovlie!~ I kinda just used the Seido v. Yakushi game from the last  episode (I still cant believe it’s over T.T) Hope you enjoy!

Miyuki: He usually didn’t mind it. Sure he was the captain but that didn’t mean that he won the game all by himself. You had told Miyuki that you would wait to congratulate him after the game. So quickly gathering all of his things from the locker room he set off to your meeting spot. Only to find you chatting it up with Kuramochi. Though he didn’t think much of it so he just waited casually until you noticed he was out here. Miyuki blamed it on the fatigue when he thought he saw you placing your hand on Kuramochi’s shoulder, looking with such endearment it almost made Miyuki boil. “Really good job out there. You guys did amazing Youichi.” So you were on a first name basis now too? Kazuya scoffed. He knew it was petty of him to be jealous of his teammates after winning such an important game, but seriously. This was his s/o. Miyuki smiled when you finally noticed him, cringing when you gave a friendly hug to Kuramochi before saying goodbye. “Back at it again I see Kazuya. You were amazing out there!” Miyuki huffed out a short thanks, pouting to the side trying to avoid eye contact. Dammit (Y/N), he was supposed to be mad at you. You were completely ignoring him while flirting with his best friend. “Hey Kazu? Is everything alright?” Miyuki snapped out of his irrational thoughts to look at you. Seeing the genuine concern on your face soften his attitude a little. Of course, Miyuki would never let you know that he was jealous. “It’s nothing really. Just a little exhausted from the match.” He laughed it off walking you towards the main exit. Leaning in close he whispered “But you do know that you’re mine right?” A little confused by his comment you grinned at him regardless. “Of course. Not even a cute shortstop would get in the way of that.”

Sanada: Of course he was upset. His team had just lost their 34-winning streak. All Shunpei wanted to do was go home and get his mind off of the game. Maybe a cuddle session or two with his s/o. So when he spotted you near the loading buses comforting Raichi and Mishima, you can believe Sanada was a little irritated. You had been dating the ace for some time now, so it was only natural that the team was attached to you. “You guys played your best. That’s all that I could ask of you.” Raichi wrapped his arms around your waist tighter while Mishima wiped the tears out of his eyes. “Okay boys, I think you’ve had enough of (Y/N) for today.” Sanada lightly pulled both boys off of you smiling the whole time. “Oh? Is Shunpei-kun getting a little jealous for attention?” you teased. Sanada just grinned at you, “Not at all. But it only seems fair that as my lover you take care of my needs, especially in dire moments such as this.” Your face turned bright red. Turning to face the two first years, Sanada sent them on their way. Smirking at him, you leaned in to snake your arms around him. “You were totally jealous weren’t you?” Pouting at your accusation Shunpei scoffed. “I knew it. That is the cutest thing ever.” “If you keep that teasing up, you gonna get it when you get home” Sanada turned to give you a sly smirk, completely hoping that you didn’t notice the pink hue that slightly adorned his cheeks. “Is that a threat or a promise?”

Good luck with the blog. Can I request carlos, Sanada and eijun trying to teach their s/o how to cook? Their s/o is super clumsy tho so who knows how that might end. Thank you and I love you writing a lot!! Happy holidays! ♡

Oh gosh these requests are so super late >.

Carlos: Considering that his father owns a Brazilian cuisine restaurant in the local area, Carlos could totally teach you a thing or two about cooking. He spent the majority of his father-son time in that restaurant, learning new dishes after coming home practice. Carlos would definitely find cooking a perfect way to bond with you. You find the way he moves around the kitchen with precision very fascinating, and lowkey kind of a turn on. Usually he found your clumsy tendencies quite endearing. That wasn’t exactly the case when the both of you were near sharp knives or a hot pan of boiling oil. Nevertheless would Carlos still try to put the moves on you. “Here (Y/N), why don’t you let me help you.” He snakes his tones arms around you, helping you stir in different seasonings into the cooking vegetables. Always the suave guy.

Sanada: The first time you tried his western style cooking you fell in love. Not only was it because of your boyfriend’s sweet gesture, but the whole new flavor that came with the authentic dishes, you knew you had to try cooking it sometime. Sanada was a bit weary at first. You were a little clumsy during school, he could just imagine you spilling some sort of substance on yourself. So when you come over to work on your next meal, Shunpei always has a cute apron handy for use. Despite a few hiccups here and there, Sanada loves cooking with you. He has a hobby of preparing western foods, so getting to make and taste test his recreations with his s/o brings him great pleasure. He thinks it’s a little sappy, but it make him feel as if he’s getting a small glimpse into his future.

Sawamura: While Sawamura is a decent cook, he had a secret talent for baking sweets. He’s always been fond of them and finds baking to be a huge stress reliever. When you had told him that you had always dreamed about baking a cake, Eijun happily agreed to help. It was surely nice that Sawamura was there to guide and redirect your clumsiness. Though it wasn’t enough to stop you from spilling the flour over the both of you when you tried to open the bag. Eijun just laughed it off, cleaning the off the flour off your face, writing cute words of encouragement on your forehead before wiping it off. He helped you with the measuring and left the mixing all to you. “Make sure to mix the eggs in really well (Y/N)! Also make sure to put in lots of love.”

Some kissing hcs with mei, eijun, mukai, Carlos and Sanada? Thank you very much

Here you go, hope yo enjoy!~

Mei:

       His kisses are always filled with energy and passion. Mei believes that kisses are much more than just meaningless gestures.

       This boy is a total tease though! Narumiya loves to get you riled up by placing small pecks on your lips, lingering just long enough to keep you entertained.

       He’s mostly all in for PDA; especially before and after a game. He doesn’t believe in luck but he feels the positive aura run through him when you kiss him good luck before his match.

Sawamura:

This poor awkward sunshine child. He would get so nervous for his first kiss with you, he would literally be trembling. But once you guys got the first one over with, he was a natural.

Eijun accidentally smiles a lot into your kisses during your make out sessions. It doesn’t bother you much but he will try to deny it if you bring it up.

Forehead and nose kisses are a must with this kid. He loves to shower you with affection by placing small kisses on your face over and over. His face gets so red and embarrassed if you return the favor though.

Mukai:

Taiyo is the type of guy to pretend that he’s the greatest kisser of all time while he has no experience what so ever. You tease him about it on your first kiss when he fumbles a little bit.

Just as much as he likes to stick out his tongue, you can expect that his favorite type of kissing style is French kissing. He slightly runs the tip along your lower lip, and he does so in such a way that makes it hard for you to say no.

 Mukai loves wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you even closer into the kiss. Sometimes he doesn’t even need to kiss you, just your close presence is enough for him.

Carlos:

 Carlos always has to kiss you before you two go your own ways. And not just any normal peck on the lips. He full on cups your face and leans down, firmly pressing his body into yours. That’s the only way he’ll let you say goodbye.

 Lip biting is his go-to always. Carlos feels a rush when you pull his bottom lips between your teeth as you pull away. Be warned though, once he gets riled up he’s not going to stop so easily. Not that you’d want him to.

 Make out sessions can get pretty intense with him. He loves cuddling up next to you, letting your hands roam all over his half naked body while trailing kisses form your lips, to your jawline, all the way down your neck to your collarbone.

Sanada:

I can totally see Sanada as someone who would want to try the iconic Spiderman kiss. He laughs at the blush across your face when he lies on his bed, head dangling down as he asks you to come and kiss him.

He loves kissing you when you’re on your tippy toes trying to reach his face. He always found the slight height difference between the both of you so cute he couldn’t help himself.

Sanada is a very adaptable kisser, always wanting to please the other person. If you want the kiss to be rough he’ll give you rough. If you wanted more slow and gentle, he’ll kiss you with such care.

Hi there! Can I request a scenario with Ryosuke, Haruichi, and Miyuki trying to motivate their super lazy s/o? Like it's near final exams or something and the s/o has just completely given up trying to study? What would the boys do to motivate (or threaten) them? :D thank you!

Thanks lovlie! hope you make it through finals okay!

Ryosuke: When it comes to motivating his s/o, Ryo is more of an accountability partner than a lover. He makes sure that you finish all of your assigned work, plus an hour of studying each day, threating some consequences if you become unmotivated. At first you didn’t take him seriously, until he started ignoring all of your texts and forwarding your calls. You confronted him about it, asking what his deal was. Ryosuke simply replied back with a “Sorry (Y/N)-chan. I’ve been busy with studying, final year of high school remember?” Only when he actually saw your progress did he start talking with you briefly. This totally sadistic way of motivation worked wonders though.

Haruichi: The younger Kominato tries to motivate you by offering study dates to help you out. He doesn’t want you to completely bomb your finals, plus he actually needed a few study sessions as well. You two would meet up at least twice a week to study for different subjects. Despite his normal carefree, shy attitude, Haruichi is very strict when it comes to school exams so he will not accept any slacking on your part. Though he does reward you when you try to study hard or when you answer a question correctly by giving a small peck on the cheek. It’s the little gestures of affection like this that motivate you to actually try, considering you never see Haruichi be so assertive.

Miyuki: It is no secret that there will be teasing when it comes to Miyuki’s motivational skills. He would say things like “Geez, make sure you don’t leave a permanent dent on my bed” or “(Y/N) actually studying? It’s probably going to start snowing tomorrow.” Of course Miyuki’s habits only made you study even less. When all else failed, he invited you to visit him during practices. Sometimes he’d actually let you pitch to him. As the captain, and your motivational boyfriend, Miyuki worked you twice as hard as he did Sawamura. For every day you missed studying it was 20 push-ups. For every failed exam it was running laps non-stop. If this didn’t get you motivated enough, Miyuki just pulled out the casual “Hey babe, I know school is stressful right now, but it’s almost done. Just try a little harder, at least for my sake? I believe in you (Y/N).” Miyuki was definitely satisfied when you left to your dorm to study with a huge red hue adorning your cheeks that day.

Can you please do a scenario where the team finds out that Miyuki and his s/o are dating?

Here you go!~ Hope this isn’t too generic >///

It was a classical love-hate relationship straight out of a shoujo manga. So, it wasn’t long until the both of you developed feeling other than animosity towards each other. You were the first one to ever hint at it first, accidentally of course. On one of the many days that Miyuki teased you, you were at your limit when he had asked to borrow a pencil. With a sigh, you mumbled out a “you’re lucky I care about you this much.” Apparently, you weren’t as quiet as you thought, Miyuki smirking as turned to lend the pencil.

It had been 3 months since then and nobody even suspected it. In all honesty you both didn’t see the reason for keeping your relationship a secret. Maybe it was just the fun factor in seeing how long you two could sneak around the baseball dorms before one of the boys found out. Which eventually happened.

It all happened one night when you were studying with Miyuki in his room. As it came time to leave, you both stepped out as quietly as possible. He gave you a goodnight kiss before you went your separate ways. Only that Nori was standing there the whole time, his jaw dropping as he refrained from screaming in confusion. So, he did the only logical thing to do, go back to his dork with a bright red face and spilling the beans to his roommates when they asked him what was wrong.

The very next morning when Miyuki walks into the dining room for breakfast, he was greeted with applause and whistling. Kuramochi strides up to him and pats him on the shoulder. “Well, it took you long enough. Thanks to you Zono owes me 5000 yen.” Confusion still apparent on his face, Miyuki asked, “What are you guys talking about?”

Sawamura burst through the doors, a little late to the party. “Show yourself Miyuki Kazuya! I knew you would corrupt (Y/N)-san eventually!” Miyuki always looked cool in embarrassing situations, but he felt the heat rise up to his face. “Haha if anything Sawamura (Y/N) was the one who corrupted me.”

“Kyahaha so you admit it! You and (Y/N) are dating.” Kuramochi wiggled his eyebrows at Miyuki’s flustered state. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He stammered. “Come on, you can’t hide it now. Nori said he saw the whole thing.” As if on cue you walked in, ready to scold Miyuki about not letting you see the notes from yesterday, and totally not to give him a good morning kiss.

“Looked what the cat dragged in. Perfect timing (Y/N)!” Eyes wide in confusion, you searched for Miyuki only to find him just as red as you were. “I-I just remembered that I forgot something in the dugout. If you will excuse your dear captain.” As quickly as you were in there you were out, Miyuki gripping your wrist leading you away from the baseball team. “Don’t go doing something naughty before school you two!” you heard Kuramochi call out in the distance.

Finally reaching his front door did Miyuki let out sigh. “Wow those guys can be a handful, can’t they?” he chuckled nervously. “What the hell was going on back there?” you questioned, finally trying to make sense of this whole thing. “Nothing much just the usual.” Miyuki scratched the back of his head. You threw him a cheeky smirk, “Oh? So, is it often that your teammates tease you about your s/o?” Getting flustered again Miyuki muttered out a shut up with a pout.

You giggled, wrapping your arms around his waist. “Hey look at the bright side. At least now we can make them uncomfortable with a little PDA.” Miyuki leaned down to kiss you on the cheek. “I like the way you think.
