I TRIED !? Forgive me if stuff is wrong, it’s been a good while since I watched kazetsuyo, this is also my first time ever trying to write for the fandom so- *laughs weakly*

***

Kiyose Haiji has determination running through his veins, and sheer tenacity in every other part of him.

Kiyose Haiji does things again, and again, and again. Until he can’t do them anymore.

Tap tap tap.

The steady rhythm of his feet hitting the ground is something he had once doubted he would be able to do again, but Kiyose Haiji is driven by will-power and breathes persistence.

Tap tap tap.

He’s here, running, because he didn’t give up. He’s here, running, because he wants to reach Hakone more than he wants to live.

Patience is a virtue, and Kiyose Haiji, with his long years of waiting, is long-past the simple virtue, and well into the territory of conviction.

Tap tap tap.

The mountains of Hakone are the steepest in the world, and he has every plan of reaching them with this team that he dragged together through sheer force of will.

What a group they make.

Tap. Tap. Twinge. Tap.

The pain is nothing new, Haiji recalls doctors and their words of caution, but Kiyose Haiji is made of determination, has tamed the virtue of patience into the sharpest of tools, and now.

He runs.

There is nothing, to him, that could quite compare with the loss of his dream. So he runs, and runs, and every twinge of pain is a reminder that he’s alive and running running running towards the reality that had once, in a past that feels so distant, been a dream.

Tap. Twinge. Tap tap.

The pain in his knee is one he lives with, he’s used to it, used to ignoring it, sometimes giving in, but never giving up. Kiyose Haiji does not give up, he runs and runs and runs and dares anyone to get in his way.

Kiyose Haiji had watched.

Watched as every single one of his team mates had given a part of themselves to the Hakone Ekiden, trusting that in the end, that final baton full of sheer tenacity and power and force of will would reach him, and he would take every piece of them across the finish line with him.

The trust he can feel radiating from them is so strong it overpasses his own conviction, the air he breathes is more than tenacity, more than determination; it’s brute force fueled by so many feelings that Haiji almost forgets how to breathe altogether.

Twinge twinge tap.

It occurs to him, in a split-second, that this may well be his last run. That maybe his own determination will be his downfall.

The feelings are heavy in his chest and he can’t quite breathe while simultaneously feeling like he could grow wings if he just closed his eyes.

Again and again and again, the constant tap tap tapping of his feet hitting the ground, propelling him forwards towards that final goal, leaving part of himself behind and gaining something new, shedding a skin he didn’t even know was holding him back.

The pain is overbearing and it’s searing, white hot agony clawing it’s way around him, clashing with determination, tenacity, persistence in the most brutal and painful battles he’ll ever have to fight.

They’re waiting for him.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap!

Twinge

They’re waiting for him at the finish line, and the feelings in the sash around his torso pulsate at the sight of their owners.

Kiyose Haiji runs. Runs runs runs, leaves a piece of himself behind and carries what’s left of himself across the line.

Collapses and rebuilds himself instantaneously as the missing part of him, left somewhere on the road behind him, is replaced with pieces given to him by this team he brought together, who offered themselves to him as much as he offered himself to them.

Kiyose Haiji has lost a piece of himself to the Hakone Ekiden, and won so much more in return.

The twinge in his knee may never go away, he may never run again.

And yet, Kiyose Haiji would do it all over again, and again.

And again.

Nothing like some found family. I did my best and I hope you like it!

***

There’s cheering and celebration from Seirin. Akashi--the Akashis? No, for once he’s alone in his head--couldn’t expect any different. There are tears from Rakuzan, the unbeatable, the unbreakable. They’re stifled into jackets, hidden between shrugs. Akashi doesn’t realize he’s crying at first, so confused he is by the incredible silence inside himself. He frowns when he realizes it, wipes his reddening eyes on his jacket sleeve while pretending to muffle a sneeze.

“Akashi-kun,” a soft voice says, and there Kuroko is at his side, laying a soft hand on his arm. “Are you all right?”

“I’m going to talk to Kuroko,” Akashi says, and pivots and walks off the field. He turns to Kuroko, who trails behind him like a lost duckling. “You should be off celebrating with your friends.”

“I’m with my family,” Kuroko says. “I’ll go back to them later.”

Akashi feels hot tears spring up in his eyes again, these from some mixture of heartbreak and healing, and pretends to cough, taking the opportunity to wipe them again.

“You can cry, you know,” Kuroko says, tilting his head at Akashi. “Everybody cries when they lose.”

“Not me,” Akashi says. “I can’t cry. That’s the rules.”

“Who said that?” Kuroko asks.

Akashi frowns. “My father.”

“Screw your father,” Kuroko says. “I’m your father now.”

Akashi looks up and almost laughs. “I thought we were brothers.”

He takes a deep breath and thinks back to the promise they made, long before the promise to always play their hardest against each other. One forged over garigari-kun one night, when they’d been talking and laughing and Kise had held out his pinkies and asked them to always be family. They’d linked together in a circle, and, for once in his life, Akashi had felt like a part of something other than an empire.

Then it had all fallen apart. But maybe it didn’t have to be like that anymore.

“Did you ever feel guilty?” Akashi asks. “When you walked away.” He doesn’t mean to guilt Kuroko. He remembers enough of what he’s done to understand why it happened. He just needs something. Closure, maybe? Or perhaps a new beginning.


“Every day,” Kuroko says. “But...things are getting better now.”

“You should go back,” Akashi says. “I’m sure your boyfriend is looking for you.”

Kuroko turns deep red but doesn’t deny a thing. “You’re important too,” he says instead, jutting out his chin in the way he always has when he’s being stubborn.

“I should go back and comfort my team,” Akashi says.

Kuroko nods and then all but disappears, moving forward in a rush so that suddenly Akashi has an armful of him. He wraps his arms around Akashi tightly.

“It’s good to see you again,” Kuroko says, muffled into Akashi’s shoulder.

“You too,” Akashi says. The words feel like not enough, but it’s what he has to say right now.

His head doesn’t feel quite so quiet. Kuroko is there, and his team is waiting, and maybe the rest of the Miracles will be too. Tears well up in his eyes, and he knows for a fact that they’re not about losing the game. They’re happy tears, and he lets himself cry.

*cries* blease take this

“We are done,” the words echo out of Daishou’s mouth. His infuriatingly pretty mouth. Not that Tetsurou noticed, after all, Daishou is his most hated rival. “Or at least, I am.”
“Oh, rest assured,” Tetsurou snaps. “I’m more than done myself.”
What happens next is… well, let’s say, unexpected.
Daishou closes the distance between them in four easy steps and crushes their mouths together.
For a moment, Tetsurou thinks of punching him, but he’s being kept busy by how soft Daishou’s lips are, how his breath smells like cherries, how he’s threaded a hand in Tetsurou’s hair. How he’s so so close, enough for Tetsurou to count his eyelashes - before he remembers, first of all, you’re supposed to close your eyes during a kiss, and secondly, he does not want that kiss to happen. He fumbles backwards, noticing his breath is short, his cheeks are ablaze, his pulse is quickening. The look of hurt on Daishou’s face is what really does it, though.
“Oh,” is all he says, before turning around and leaving the hallway.
Tetsurou is left alone in front of the mailboxes, hands shaking, head swimming. There’s literally nothing he understands about the past five minutes.
From: me
kenmaaaaa i need ur help
From: Kenmeow
is this about daishou
From: me

From: me
nevermind
If Kenma knows, this must mean Daishou told him. Tetsurou didn’t know they were still in touch. There’s a lot of things he didn’t know, apparently. His breathing still hasn’t quieted back down, and he takes a moment to calm himself a little before his grandparents forget that they don’t care about him and ask why he looks like he ran a marathon.
He also realises, the sinking feeling in his stomach that started when Daishou kissed him still hasn’t disappeared. Actually, he isn’t even sure that’s when it started. Daishou’s words were so final, he thought that meant even their rivalry would be gone. He’d snarled back before thinking, and now that it’s proved Tetsurou misinterpreted those words, he isn’t quite sure what to do.
A door bangs loudly and Tetsurou is faced once again with a trembling Daishou, his cheeks just as red as Tetsurou’s.
“You know what,” and the venom dripping from every single one of Daishou’s words hurts strangely, “I’m not done.”
“Oh.”
“You’re the worst ! First you ruin our friendship-”
“That was a team effort,” Tetsurou cuts.
“-then you ruin my first kiss.”
“It was mine too.”
“I don’t fucking care ! You don’t even lo-” Daishou stops then, and his face turns a little green, like he’s about to be sick.
“I never said that.”
“You moved away.”
“I was surprised,” Tetsurou admits. His thoughts collide so harshly he doesn’t recognise them as his own. “I liked it, though. I think.”
“You ‘think’ ? You fucking asshole !”
“You may wanna allow me a repeat before you completely give up on me,” Tetsurou hears himself say.
“Oh.”
This time, Daishou leans in slowly until their foreheads touch, until their breaths mingle and they’re so close they might as well be one. It makes Tetsurou’s chest tingle until it hurts. And then they’re kissing again, except this time their lips move in unison and sparks threaten to make Tetsurou’s brain explode.
“We are done pretending we don’t love each other,” is what he says when they part, finally understanding the meaning of Daishou’s words.
“Damn right. I owe Kozume ten thousand yen.”
“That little rascal,” Tetsurou snickers.
They’re close enough for their laughter to meld, and Tetsurou thinks… Well, he thinks it’s not all that bad.

Bakamura: so i can’t ever wash that sock again and then we don’t lose ever again!
You: that is absolutely ridiculous, even by your normal standards

Bakamura: MIYUKI KAZUYA THAT’S NOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT
Bakamura: stop trying to distract me!

Eijun storms into the room, a force to be reckoned with. Kazuya lifts his arm and beckons with his hand for his boyfriend to come and lay beside him.
“You can’t get out of this with cuddling,” Eijun grumbles, but he crawls into bed and lays down anyway. He’s stiff beside Kazuya, rigid and refusing to get any closer.
“Give me your hands,” Kazuya directs, and without waiting he takes the left one, laying on the pillow beside Eijun’s head. He rubs it slowly, working his thumbs into the muscles. Eijun’s still wearing his frown.
“Sorry,” he huffs, although he still looks a little frazzled around the edges. “Guess it was stupid to get mad about the laundry.”
“You are a human exclamation point,” Kazuya says, and Eijun wrinkles his nose. “Yell first, ask questions later. Or not at all.”
“Sorry,” Eijun says again.
Kazuya lifts Eijun’s fingers to his mouth and kisses the knuckles. “I knew that when I fell in love with you, idiot. I’m not mad.”
“I’m not mad, either,” Eijun says. “But I still think it was a lucky sock.”
“Lucky and filthy are not the same thing.”
“You’re both, aren’t you?”
Kazuya laughs, and a smile splits Eijun’s lips until Kazuya captures them with his own.

first time writing furuya's POV (and daiya, for that matter)..!

***

It’s the final inning. It’s the last chance for Seidou to gain any points.

Furuya, instead, is sitting in the dugout waiting. The two runs he ceded in the first inning weigh on his shoulders. While he hasn’t screwed up since, those two runs are hard enough to come by, much less in a quarter-finals nationals match. He hasn’t been able to get on base, either; is this really how he compares?

No, no—don’t think like this. He’s taken his turn on the mound. He’s done what he could. All that’s left is to leave it in the hands of his peers—in his senpai, in Haruichi and Toujou, in the captain. Maybe if they make enough bases, it’ll be his turn to face his Hokkaido mirror once more…

But when their swings still fail to make contact, the sinking feeling in his chest returns tenfold.

His fingers dig into his knee. Some of his teammates are still cheering words of encouragement, but tension still hangs in the air. There’s nothing left for them to do.

Furuya watches as Haruichi scuffs his feet against the dirt ground, trying to get back into gear. Hongou Masamune brings his arm back, twists his torso, and throws—Furuya watches Haruichi angle his body in response and take a swing, but it’s not enough. He can see it even this far away, even before the ball sounds in the catcher’s glove, that Haruichi will have missed.

He does.

Once the team is all back together in the dugout, Miyuki huffs and stands. He claps his hands once for attention, then says, “We’re done.” Furuya blinks. Kuramochi snarls something, and Miyuki follows it up with: “That was our Nationals.”

And, really, there’s nothing to say to that, right? Seidou—be it Furuya himself or not—needed to be better than those at Komadai Fujimaki. They weren’t, so their summer was cut short once more. There’s only one thing to do, now: improve. He can only improve to be worthy of becoming the greatest pitcher in Japan.

The team pulls itself back together. They make their way to the middle of the field, where they do their bows and give thanks.

Something moves in the corner of his eye, and Furuya turns to find Masamune already heading back to their dugout. Furuya intercepts his path without a second thought and offers a hand to shake. There’s nothing more to be said, or so he thinks.

Masamune’s gaze flickers down to the outstretched hand and snorts. He pushes his way past Furuya. A teammate of his interrupts—“Hey, he’s holding his hand out for a handshake…!”—but that doesn’t stop him. Of course, Sawamura takes that as his opportunity to interject himself into the conversation.

A few feet over, Miyuki is talking to the opposing captain. He laughs and says, “Don’t you lose to anyone before we play you again, OK?”

Furuya’s eyes trail to the number one on Masamune’s back and privately echoes the sentiment.

He wouldn’t be Koutarou’s kid if he weren’t a dirty little dude, Koutarou supposes, and he puts on his brightest smile as his son catches his eye. “Hey kiddo!”

Hideo runs over to him and clings to Koutarou’s leg, which he rarely does these days. Koutarou picks Hideo up and plops him down on his shoulders. “Such a big boy now,” Koutarou observes.

Hideo wraps his arms around Koutarou’s forehead. “Hi, Papa.”

“You sound sad today, my dude,” Koutarou observes as they start walking home. Hideo rests his chin on Koutarou’s head. “You wanna tell me what’s going on?”

“Nuh uh,” says Hideo.

“You wanna tell Daddy about it when we get home?”

“Nuh uh.”

“Do you wanna...have a great big ice cream sundae?”

Hideo sighs. “That won’t make it any better, you know.”

Koutarou has to hold back his laughter. Hideo could so perfectly imitate his daddy sometimes. “It might not help fix what’s wrong,” Koutarou says. “But it’ll taste real good.”

“I s’pose so.”

“We can put your favorite toppings on it! What do you wanna put on top?”

Hideo lifts his head. “Maybe...sprinkles?” There’s a little bit of hopefulness in his voice.

“You got it, Deo,” Koutarou says. “Chocolate or rainbow?”

“Rainbow,” he says decisively.

“You’re right, of course you’re right, why’d I even ask,” Koutarou says. He swings Hideo off his shoulders and into his arms, and Hideo giggles.

By the time they get home, Hideo has told Koutarou the entire sad story: another of the little boys in his class thought it was gross that Hideo wanted to hold hands with him. But Hideo told him, he said, “I have two daddies and I’m not gross,” and the teacher and all the little girls in the class backed him up, and the other boy ended up looking silly in front of everyone.

“You did the right thing, Hideo,” Keiji says as Koutarou and Hideo go into the kitchen. He takes Hideo from Koutarou’s arms and presses a kiss to his cheek. “It was good that you didn’t yell at him.”

“I really wanted to,” Hideo confesses. “I was really angry.”

“But you didn’t!” Koutarou exclaims. “And that’s awesome!”

“It’s okay to be angry, as long as we make good choices while we’re angry,” Keiji explains.

“You know what I think,” Koutarou says. He makes a big, exaggerated wink at Hideo, hoping his son will go along with the scheme. “I think we should have a great big ice cream sundae to celebrate.”

“Papa, you already promised me we could have a great big ice cream sundae. Remember? You said we’d put rainbow sprinkles on top.”

Koutarou gapes, and Keiji has to turn away to hide his laughter. When he regains his composure, he turns back.

“Sold out by your own son,” Keiji says.

Koutarou wraps his arms around both his boys. God, he loves them so much. “Well, I guess it’s okay. I’ll just have to eat my great big ice cream sundae all by myself.”

“Papa!” Hideo shouts, and Koutarou and Keiji both giggle at his tiny indignant three year old self.

“I’m kidding, little man. Come help me make it.”

Koutarou takes Hideo back, pressing a kiss against Keiji’s cheek during the transfer. “Not too much before dinner,” Keiji murmurs.

“Aw, Keij, it’s just ice cream.”

Keiji’s eyes sparkle. “You’re far too indulgent.”

Koutarou pulls the bucket of vanilla out of the freezer. Keiji grabs bowls for each of them and sets them on the counter. “Alright, Deo, you gotta help me count. Can you do that?”

Hideo furrows his brows. “I know how to count, Papa.”

“I know, I know! But sometimes I forget! How many do you think makes a great big sundae, anyway?”

“Hmm.” Hideo scrunches up his whole face. “I think...three.”

“Three! Alright, we can do that, buddy.” Koutarou scoops out one scoop and dumps it into Hideo’s purple plastic bowl.

“One,” Hideo says.

And another.

“Two.”

Koutarou goes to dump the third, but at the last moment he dumps it into the bowl to its left. “Now how many?”

Hideo frowns. “Still just two, Papa.”

“Oh, well, I can’t trick you, can I?”

Koutarou scoops out the rest of the ice cream while Keiji retrieves the sprinkles. “Alright, you gotta do this part, Deo.”

“How come?”

“Oh, didn’t I ever tell you?” Koutarou drops his voice to a loud whisper. “I don’t know how to shake out sprinkles.”

“But Papa!” Hideo says, his eyes wide. “It’s so easy!”

“It is?” Koutarou questions. “Show me!”

He puts the bottle into Hideo’s hands and pops the top for him. Hideo begins to very carefully shake them out over his own bowl. Keiji watches them both with his arms crossed.

“That’s enough, Hideo,” he says.

“Just a little more, Daddy?”

“Yeah, Daddy, just a little more?” Koutarou bats his lashes in Keiji’s direction.

Keiji sighs. “Hideo, do you know what incorrigible means?”

“Uh-uh.”

“It means terribly, horribly rotten, and your Papa is incorrigible.”

Hideo giggles, hiding his face in Koutarou’s cheek.

“Come on, Deo, get those sprinkles on there!”

Hideo shakes them out, one tiny shake at a time. The bowl is covered fully before Keiji speaks up again.

“No more sprinkles.”

Hideo shakes the bottle again.

“No more sprinkles.”

Hideo shakes it one more time. Koutarou can’t contain his laughter anymore.

“No more sprinkles!” Keiji snatches the bottle out of Hideo’s little hand, and in doing so, shakes out even more sprinkles into the bowl. Koutarou is howling now, and Hideo joins in, and after he scowls for a moment, Keiji manages to laugh a little bit, too.

“Alright, alright, so you’re both incorrigible,” Keiji says. He puts the sprinkles back on the shelf. “Come on, you two, let’s go eat these before they melt.”

Keiji shuffles them all over to the table. Hideo’s booster seat is between Keiji and Koutarou’s spots, and they take turns all shoving ice cream in each other’s faces. Laughter rings throughout the house, and Koutarou’s heart is full.

Furuya’s earliest memories were of ice and snow.

Of being wrapped up in layers and layers. The cozy feeling of being bundled at odds with the cold that bit at his cheeks. His tiny mitten covered hand holding on to his grandfather’s gloved hand. His footsteps leaving impressions in the snow.

And he would pretend that he was a polar bear on a solitary adventure.

As he grew older Furyua learned to appreciate the snow. It’s quietness. It’s stillness. The way that it would blanket the world.

But there were also times when Furuya wondered if he would ever be warm again.

When the cold would seep under his layers. Stealing the warmth from his chest and the breath from his lungs. When warmth and comfort became nothing but a memory.

He was expecting a different kind of storm, a different kind of cold when he moved to Tokyo. Furuya had steadied himself in order to undertake a different kind of solitary adventure.

But here he found teammates. Here he found friends. Here he found--

“BALLS WILL GO FLYING SO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!”

Furuya found something he never thought he would find at Seido.

He contemplated the pitcher standing on the mound. And he contemplated the warmth he felt. The warmth that reminded him of being bundled in layers and layers against the cold.

A warmth that bloomed in his chest.

Furuya had grown up in the cold so he didn’t know for sure, but as he looked out across the practice field he imagined this was what it was like…

Standing in a field of sunflowers.
