platonic kise/akashi + 48 (…out of habit.)

Ryouta wasn’t exactly a spoiled child. Sure, his parents never mistreated him, but they weren’t the kind to dot on their children. That caused the eldest Kise sibling to leave the house as soon as she finished high school. She had always been a rebel, much like Ryouta himself. Noriko, however, was much more nurturing and patient, kind and comprehensive. She was the one to calm things down when her older sister snapped and the one to put a stop to her younger brother’s whims. 

Ryouta loved Noriko more than anything else in the world.

He was a restless little boy, always running around and exploring... and getting hurt. Noriko would always patch him up when he came home with tears in his eyes and scrapes on his knees. 

“Thank you, big sis,” he would always say. 

“No, no, no thank you,” she’d always reply. “Pay up.” And she’d tap on her cheek with her index finger until Ryouta giggled and paid her with a soft kiss.

When Noriko was offered a modeling job overseas, Ryouta was happy for her. He was no longer the little boy that would come home crying (not often, at least, and not over scraped knees), so he forced a smile and cheered her on. She deserved to be happy, after all. That doesn’t mean he didn’t miss her.

On that afternoon, Akashi pulls him aside to scold him. It feels oddly familiar, even though Ryouta isn’t one to piss off Akashi often - he knows better - and he pouts and looks away. 

“Let me see that,” Akashi demands, gesturing to Ryouta’s hand.

Ryouta lets him examine his wrist and he tries his best not to wince as Akashi turns it around and it throbs. Akashi’s sharp eyes don’t miss the flash of pain in Ryouta’s expression. He really did it this time. 

“I know you and Aomine have this dumb rivalry going on,” Akashi says sternly. “But I’m drawing a line. If I catch you being reckless and hurting yourself needlessly like this again, I’m benching you.”

“You’re not the coach, Akashicchi!” Ryouta protests.

Akashi’s unimpressed look is enough of a responde. Ryouta and everyone else knows damn well Akashi can and will decide which players are allowed in his court.

“Come on, I’m going to bandage you up,” Akashi says, pulling Ryouta with him to the locker room.

“Wha- I can just go to Momocchi! Or the nurse!” Ryouta protests.

Akashi ignores him. Ryouta shouldn’t be surprised. Akashi can be a weirdo sometimes.

And that’s how he ends up straddling a bench in the locker room with his captain wrapping bandages around his wrist to make sure Ryouta won’t get anymore hurt. It’s stupid, but Ryouta feels like a little boy being scolded by his older sister again. 

And the worst part is that he knows that he got hurt because of his own stupidity. It’s been a rough week and he took his frustration to the court with him. It was a mistake. He sighs.

“Done,” Akashi says proudly. 

Ryouta checks his wrist. Of course Akashi did a better job than the nurse. Akashi is good at every damn thing.

“I’m sorry, Akashicchi,” Ryouta says, defeated. “I’m going to be more careful. Thank you.”

“You’re one of my best players, Kise,” Akashi says, calmly. “It’s only natural I take care of you. No need to thank me.”

Ryouta smiles a bit and, without thinking, leans in and plants a kiss to Akashi’s cheek. 

Both boys stand silent for a long moment. Realization finally dawns and Ryouta gasps in horror.

“Oh my God! I just...Did I-- I’m sorry, I wasn’t- You remind me of my sister???”

Akashi’s eyes go doe wide. 

“No, I mean... not literally, but she used to bandage me up and out of habit, I just- Akashicchi!”

But Akashi is openly laughing now. “That’s so cute, Kise” he teases. 

“UGH!” Ryouta stands up to leave.

Ryouta pouts, whines and overreacts in general, but Akashi keeps smiling as though that was the funniest thing to ever happen to him - or maybe he did really find it cute. He has a playful smirk on his lips that looks very familiar.

An affectionate, sweet smirk Ryouta’s sister used to wear around him.

Why I Love Extra Game

i’ve had this lying in my notes since the manga version finished getting scanlated but it seemed timely

SPOILERS and long post ahoy!

-Hyuuga acting like he doesn't want to be the one Riko takes to the friendly streetball match and Koganei being like "ooh ooh me pick me" and Izuki being like "no no shhhh ouR CAPTAIN SHOULD GO YEP YEP"

-the GoM teams watching this match and seeing their old teammates on team Strky

-Mukkun laughing with his team about Okamura's existence

-I know what Strky is but why the fuck call it "Strky" like call it "Tryks" or "Stryk" even and use the y as a vowel but fucking Strky sounds like Thanksgiving dinner

-Kasamatsu's existence

-Kagetora going off on the whole asshole team in fairly fluent English (and vowing to disembowel himself if his dream team can't defeat them like shit son papa took a level in metal)

-the reactions of the GoM as the American asshole team basically says the same things they'd say before about people who are no good just needing to give up because holy fuck did that shake them

-Kuroko and Kagami hearing it too and getting angry like "fuck here we go agAIN"

-obviously seeing the GoM all on the same team again is magical

-plus they added my children Hyuuga and Takao and Wakamatsu to the team as bench 

-Akashi welcoming Hyuuga and reassuring him that he's good enough when he's obviously nervous about being there

-putting Riko and Satsuki in charge together made me really happy because those two should be friends even if they're rivals I mean look at the shit they deal with daily from these boys also Satsuki sure can't complain to Aomine about how much a pain in the ass Aomine is she needs girl talk so bad

-Hyuuga I swear to fuck you may not be playing much this game but you sure fucking better confess to Riko when you boys win do you understand me

-Mukkun dunking Akashi's shot and just saying "Whoosh."

-Akashi deciding he'll be taking on Nash and Aomine saying Akashi's got it "cuz it's you."

-Kise tries to rally everyone and Aomine just kicks him in the side poor bby

-Kuroko babY STOP DON'T JUST GO CONFRONT THE TEAM OF ASSHOLES BY YOURSELF BABY NO

-KUROKO YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS EVERY TIME PAPA KAGAMI IS GONNA GET TIRED

-SOMETIMES THERE ARE JUST TERRIBLE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD KUROKO HONEY JUST LEAVE IT ALONE

-Kuroko speaking slow, clumsy, careful English and still remaining formal as fuck

-the whole GoM plus Kagami sprinting to stop Kuroko from getting killed, with highlights from:

    -- Kagami: "Is he some kind of idiot?!" Murasakibara: "At this point I think it's definitely a possibility."

    --Akashi: "Kuroko really never ceases to amaze me."

-naturally everyone's mad but Akashi fucking seething when they find Kuroko's been hurt

-Kagami and Aomine at the front of their group right away being totally ready to throw down if the other guys so much as move while Mukkun looms threateningly a little bit back because even though they hurt Kurochin he's not gonna pick a fight himself but if somebody else does first this boy's got his team's back

-Kuroko wanting to settle this solely through basketball so Akashi knowing this well tells the two more impulsive idiots to take it easy

-Kise picking Kuroko up and being the one to carry the baby back

-Midorima no you're the least intimidating right now except maybe for Kise don't even try child your shirt has stripes

-on one hand it's kinda cheap storytelling but on the other the fact that their teamwork clicked again so quickly was kind of moving because it's like thank god they remember being a team

-all the teams watching and hoping Vorpal Swords kicks some ass

-The first quarter where Vorpal Swords kicks some ass

-Kuroko was paying extra attention to Murasakibara after first quarter and it made me really worried Big Purple was injured already

-Aomine and especially Mukkun not liking being shit-talked whether or not they understood the English

-MUKKUN IS MAKING KUROKO WORRIED AGAIN IN TIME-OUT though purple is literally just like "fuck those guys Imma set them straight I can handle this" but then Mamakashi is like "no you listen here you beautiful fuck the coach is right calm the fuck down you too Aomine" because to be fair if anyone ever needs to calm the fuck down it's usually Aomine

-"LITTLE EMO-BOY" KUROKO

-everybody's so goddamn angry about working with Kagami

-After second quarter they're really working with Big Purple and giving him ice and so much of this extra game seems so focused on him which suits me just fine tbh we didn't really see his character development in the original series

-stoP HURTING MUKKUN HE DOESNT DESERVE NOSEBLEEDS

-Kise tag-teaming with Aomine and matching him move for move with his Copy when angry blue was in the Zone

-Kise swearing to go through with this at the cost of himself because he wants his precious senpai Kasamatsu to know he didn't waste all that time loving basketball

-Kise then actually entering the Zone himself and fucking destroying for all of a few minutes

-Sorry Midorima maybe you can Zone later in the game angry carrot

-Momoi being so fucking happy Aomine and even Kise have gotten to this point and Kuroko giving her this kind look and then cheering for them both with his pure smile

-MukkUN KEEPS GRUNTING BBY R U OK

-Akashi getting ready to enter the game starts having a conversation with his other personality to have him use Emperor Eye and not only are they treating each other respectfully, but Bokushi is concerned about throwing off the tempo of the team by coming in and Oreshi suggests to him, "But haven't you changed, too?" Like that's not how this kind of thing works irl but Akashi had character development x2 and that's beautiful to me

-also the fact that he warned the team ahead of time so that they wouldn't be flustered and they're like "yeah okay cool is that all you needed" starting with Big Purple and Big Blue because they don't see Bokushi as some terrifying enemy to face down anymore and trust Akashi to handle things properly and respectfully

-Takao being faintly jealous that someone other than him (Akashi) got to combo with Midorima

-Midorima's turn to slay and encouraging Kagami and the carrot son is good

-Kise sweetie you were great out there but pleaSE GO GET SOME REST YOU COULDN'T MOVE FOR A MINUTE THERE

-everybody believes in Akashi and even when Nash is minimizing his ability Bokushi is just calm as fuck

-Purple picking Akashi up and asking to handle everything else so that Akashi can focus on Nash because Purple recognizes Akashi now more than ever and thinks Akachin is definitely the one who can do it

-I feel like we never really got to see much of Big Purple's interactions with his senpais so the little flashback was adorable. Big Purple being mothered gives everyone life

-but Purple getting serious A++ 10/10 would recommend

-but Purple smiling because he doesn't have to hold back C- 5/10 would vaguely recommend

-but Purple getting hurt again F-- 0/10 would not recommend

-BABY PURPLE IS SO BIG HE BROKE HIS ARM BY FALLING ON IT AND WAS LIKE "ehh but akachin needs me imma still play"

-ANGRY BABY KUROKO

-Mukkun concedes pretty easily and leaves his spot to Kuroko--then sits on the bench with his broken arm in a sling and my guess is that's because there was no way in hell he was going to miss watching the end of the game (much like Kise noT FUCKING RESTING AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE)

-Aomine and Kagami tag-teaming in the Zone (with Kagami praising Kise and Mukkun's efforts and getting ready to fuck Jabberwock up over the shit they did to Strky)

-Aomine just casually shoots a basket from behind the board nbd

-Kuroko gets possession of the ball and does his phantom shot and you can only see Mukkun's eyes on the sidelines but he looks fucking pissed to see that goddamn move again

-Aomine motivating!!!

-Momoi shouting her heart out while Riko looks like she's giving orders like she's used to as coach!!!

-Okay seriously not how this works but holy shit Bokushi bowing out and integrating into Oreshi to make Emperor Eye complete was moving and Oreshi seemed unhappy with this being the way to win but Bokushi just thanks him for being able to play with the team one last time and then bam

-Midorima gets to make a shot!!! Thank god!!!

-Look at papa Hyuuga shouting for his team

-When Kuroko snatches the ball away from Nash-hole and takes off yes Kise is shouting like the ray of sunshine he is but look at the savage fucking smile on Mukkun like he is feeling this SO HARD

-THEN AOMINE AND KAGAMI BOTH COME RACING DOWN THE COURT TO BACK THEIR SHADOW UP TOGETHER

-Mukkun was the only Miracle who wouldn't shout for Seirin when they went against Rakuzan because it was embarrassing but he sure as hell is shouting for Vorpal Swords' last basket

-WON BY ONE POINT FUCK YEAHHHHHH

-Kise can finally stand again omg and Mukkun looks like he can't really believe this and he may have been holding his breath or may not have even realized how pumped he just got

-Our babies are all sweaty and loud and smiling and making fists together in celebration and oh my god they did it

-KIYOSHIIIII

-NIJIMURAAAAA

-Tiny Kagetora so happy he doesn't have to disembowel himself

-All the teams getting back to training except Mukkun who looks like he only broke his wrist but still can't really do anything and the coach is angry but Mama Himuro is like wait chill please

-Look at everyone trying hard and being happy and loving basketball again and PRACTICING
