It’s truly scary how in only one mere moment a person reveals a side of theirs you never knew existed, a side you never thought you would ever have to face, not from them—not from him. And in that moment, you start to doubt everything there is about them.
It’s as if that moment had changed everything you thought you knew about them, your mind feels clouded and your heart feels conflicted. With both of them unable to comprehend what’s going on, you’re left to drown in the uncertainty.
If you really knew Akashi then how did it come to this? How are you on the ground right now with nothing but a menacing aura standing over you and a throbbing cheek.
Your heart was beating at a fast rate you didn’t know it was capable of and all color was drained out of you except for the redness in your cheek.
Without a doubt your cheek painfully throbbed—hurting like hell but it was nothing compared to the pain in your heart, the arrow that was brutally shot right through it the second he laid his hand on you.
“_____” your name was the only thing Akashi could mouth as he watched your figure crumble in front of him as if you’ve seen a ghost.
It was safe to say Akashi had let his feelings get the best of him. He never meant for this to happen. The two of you weren’t having the best days together lately, he’s highly aware of that but he never knew it affected him this much.
To the point where he felt like his words only weren’t enough.
He didn’t know what to do with himself right now. What were the two of you even fighting about, he doesn’t know anymore nor does he want to. All he wants right now is to fall on his knees and beg for your forgiveness.
And then make sure to torment himself for as long as he can for hurting the one person who’ve always been there for him even when his own father did not want to.
Oh, how would his mother feel looking down on him right now. Laying his hand on the person he should love and protect. On the same person that loves him more than anything and anyone.
A disgrace, that’s what he is.
No, disgracealone doesn’t even cut how sickening he truly is. Everyone was right all along, he really must be a two-faced monster.
Kneeling, he tries touching the cheek he violently tainted with his hand in the utmost gentle touch he can afford only to have you smack his hand away and immediately take a few steps back.
“H…h-how could you?” you faltered.
Mustering up whatever strength you still have in your knees, you stand up. You look at him with nothing but fear and most of all disappointment. In an instant all the trust you had in him was broken, just like the promise he made you.
“I’ll never hurt you, I promise.”
Bullshit. If that was a lie then who knows what other lies he’ve told you? If he couldn’t even keep the promise that was supposed to be done so easily when it comes to the person you love then why should you stay.
“I-” He spoke.
“Funny how I thought you’d be my hero, my knight in shining armor when right now, you’re the thing I’m most afraid of.” you spat, interrupting him.
That was the last he ever heard or saw from the person that could have been his all.
Very good if very sad! You wrote the scene beautifully.
Aomine Daiki: Aomine didn’t expect things to be this hard. He’s always been the type of guy that believes things are going to fall into his lap, because it’s not often that he has to really try for anything. Yet, ever since the day you left, he’s found himself looking for something he can’t find. Aomine catches his reflection in the mirror, noticing how the lines of his face has shifted into hardness. He looks worn and ragged, an image indicative of his albatross. He exhales a shaky sigh, knowing that there’s only one conclusion to quell the incessant ache laced in each heartbeat that rattles the cages of his chest.
You find Aomine on your front porch, his back pressed against a weather-worn railing. He doesn’t need to look up to know that you’re in his presence. He’d been with you too long.
“I know why you left,” he drawls, “and I get that you were scared.” He lifts his head to meet your eyes, sincerity swimming in his sapphire pools. “But I can’t just live with that.” He pushes himself to his feet, stepping forward to grip your shoulders in strong hands. “I know this wasn’t supposed to happen, but I’m not afraid of falling in love with you. Come home, ____.”
Haizaki Shōgo: Haizaki calls you three times without success before smashing his phone against the table in frustration. The screen cracks, but he’s lost too many objects to his temper to put real force behind the action. He winces as he licks a split in his lip, lost to the myriad of thoughts swimming in his head. He slants his gaze to the clock on the wall, deciding that it’s still early enough to make a trip to your house.
You nearly scream when you enter your room to find Haizaki sitting on the edge of your bed. His hair is sticking up in several directions, still black from when he dyed it. There’s deep bags under his eyes, and a bruise along the line of his left cheekbone. When he meets your gaze, there’s something in his expression that forces your responsive anger to leave your body.
“I can’t sleep,” he starts, pausing long enough to make you wonder if he’s finished. “I can’t eat. Hell, I can’t even jerk myself off – I can’t go for two fucking seconds without thinking about you.” He swallows his pride and drops to his knees, clutching your hands in his own. “I don’t care if I have to go to Hell and back for you, but please – don’t make me live without you anymore.”
Imayoshi Shōichi: Imayoshi waits for you get off the bus, knowing that you arrive home at approximately the same time every evening. The sky holds the threat of rain, clouds shifting into the promise of a chilly night, but he doesn’t care. He watches as you draw near, creeping out of the shadows to greet you. You see the glint of a streetlamp reflect off his glasses, the lenses turning opaque until he closes the distance between you.
“I miss you.” It’s all he says, before he crushes the air between your bodies, sealing the small distance with a kiss. His lips are warm and familiar, carving his name into your mouth. You try to pull away, but his hands find your hips, tugging you against his frame. You close your eyes, wishing for him to stop, while caving under the comfort of his affection. When he breaks the kiss, the totality of your submission is clear in the way he has to catch your weight.
“You missed me too,” he notes. He looks at the sky, which is starting to open up. “I was thinking – this place is getting pretty old. I’m not interested in rotting here like the rest of my inheritance, so I’m taking you away with me.”
Kiyoshi Teppei: Kiyoshi paces the length of his apartment, still in his clothes from the night before. He cards his fingers through his hair, heaving a sigh of listless defeat. He checks the clock on the wall, wondering if it would be safe to leave yet. His eyes slide over to the dishes in the sink, the result of a meal made for two out of habit. A surge of despair cuts through his chest, forcing his anxiety into physical motion. He grabs his jacket and hurries out of his apartment, skipping several stairs on the way to the front exit.
When you turn around to find Kiyoshi waiting for you, visible through glass windows, you feel your heart skip into nervous overdrive. You check the time, noticing that your shift has come to an end. You grab your things and brace yourself for whatever he has to say before stepping outside.
Kiyoshi’s demeanor plays at calm collection, when in reality, his nerves are wrapped around barbed wire. He presents a bouquet of flowers to you, unable to hide the tremble in his fingers. “I know this is a bit intrusive, showing up at your job and all, but I was hoping that we could talk about the fact that I’m in love with you.”
Nash Gold Jr.: Nash rolls over in bed, punching the pillow for lack of sleep. He opens his eyes and blinks through darkness, reaching across the bed to find it empty. Again. He casts his blankets aside, storming out of his room in irritation. He makes his way into the bathroom, clinging to the edge of a sink with a white-knuckled grip. He tells himself that you’re not this important, that you’re not capable of unraveling him like this – but he knows. He knows that you’re the reason for his sleepless nights, for his missed shots, and the cradle of loneliness that rocks pain into his chest.
You close your locker, ignoring the loud chatter of students lining the halls of your university. You find that getting through the day is more difficult now; it drains your focus like the tears you’ve shed over the last few nights. You start down the hall, crashing into the very cause of your distraction. You open your mouth, but Nash is quick to pin you against a nearby wall between the cages of his arms.
“I know that we never agreed to see each other. I know that you just wanted someone to fuck, but it’s getting really hard to spend my nights alone not understanding why you left. I want you to come home and I’m not taking no for an answer.”
Takao Kazunari: Takao has seen enough cheesy American movies to put some pretty ridiculous ideas in his head. So when the sound of a homemade mix-tape echoes outside your window, you know there’s only one person behind the embarrassing performance. You sigh and chide yourself when you realize that you’re smiling. You step outside to the vociferous roar of a love song, crinkled by waves of static from low quality speakers.
“I was hoping you’d come outside,” he shouts, fighting with the volume of the boombox. He drops down on one knee, and for a moment steel panic shoots through your heart.“ I always knew I cared for you, but I didn’t think it would be this hard to live without you. That’s why I came here to win you back. Is it working?” Takao beams, lifting a hand to silence your answer. “Wait, I’ve got one more thing.”
You eye him curiously, flinching when his voice cuts through the chorus with strident intensity. You shake your head, pinching the bridge of your nose in amused disbelief. “I’m not going to stop until you go back out with me!” Takao yells. “I’ve got twenty songs on this mix and this is just the first!”

– Pocky
under the cut for length 🙂
Kaijo
Hayakawa does not know how to translate his explosive enthusiasm for his kids into a calm and fatherly affection. His kids are sometimes nervous around him because he can get so intense, but it pays off when they want to play with him.
Kasamatsu wants his kids to think of him as both a friend and a father, and tries to spend as much time as possible with them. if he has a boy, he teaches him how to play basketball and how to respect (women) and act as a young man should; if he has a girl, he treats her like an absolute princess and makes sure she’ll never feel neglected.
Kise a very doting father. He’s constantly asking his kids if they have everything they want, material-wise, and buys them everything they want. But he’s lacking in presence, his job needing him at all places around the world, and he rarely ever spends time with his kids. But when he does, his kids love it. He lets them dress him up and put makeup on him, he lets them climb all over him, sometimes even play fight with them, but he truly does love the time he spends with his kids.
Kobori is a gentle and caring dad who likes to take his kids hiking and do other stuff outdoors. He has experience with caring for children because he has a younger brother, who was super young when he was in middle school, so he feels as though he’s a fine dad.
Moriyama is a pretty textbook dad. The one thing he does to try and keep a special bond with his kids is to cook his kids’ breakfast every morning and sit down with them to eat and talk about what they were going to do that day.
Kirisaki Daiichi
Furuhashi is self conscious that he’s a boring dad because he doesn’t really do much and he’s too nervous to talk to his kid. However, one day when he was out tending to his garden, his kid wandered out and showed interest in learning how to garden, which started the bond between Furuhashi and his kid.
Hanamiya is a surprisingly good dad. No matter if it’s a boy or girl, he’s always looking out for them and injecting little life lessons into everyday events. He makes sure to be present, unlike his father, and he hopes they won’t turn out like him. But the moment he sees that they have a sharp mind, he knows he’s in for trouble.
Hara did not think he would be the one to coo over a baby, but he is the one who does that every time he sees his child. He thinks they are absolutely adorable and they are the world to him. Especially if it’s a girl, he is soooo protective of her—it’s insane but endearing. His kids constantly pop the bubbles he blows with his gum, often covering Hara’s hair and face in a sticky mess. Sometimes he gives his kids gum, but the other parent always scolds him for it.
Seto teaches his kids to be lazy from an early age. On any standard afternoon, Seto can be found reclining in the living with his kids right beside him, eyes blankly trained on the TV. Other than that, Seto is a pretty good dad when it comes to teaching his kids good jokes and comebacks. He’s gonna make sure they’ve got sharp wits.
Yamazaki is the kind of dad his kids can talk to about anything because he’s so open and honest with them. He’s really dependable.
Rakuzan
Akashi spoils his kids rotten. They have anything and everything they could ever dream of, and then some. But he also makes sure to spoil them with his love and affection and presence, making sure they never feel neglected. He’s kind of a dork of a dad, wanting his kids to feel comfortable and casual around him, so he tells a lot of “dad jokes” and does a lot of silly things around them. It’s super cute.
Hayama is an exhausting dad. He goes out on adventures with his kids almost daily, making sure they have the best time of their lives and teach them to live their lives to the fullest at such a young age. His kids love him though, and they especially love his seemingly bottomless energy for when they do want to play at 2am.
Mayuzumi is a quiet dad, but so are his kids, so they get along really well. Mayu loves to read with his kids, no matter if it’s a bed time story, a small tutoring session, or just casual reading. He loves to spend that silent quality time with them because he believes that growing in their wisdom together is the best way to bond.
Mibuchi is his kid’s best friend. Mibuchi makes it known right away that he is always there for them and that he will do whatever it takes to protect them and make them happy. He is both the mom and the dad, and his kid loves his cooking, often making the other parent quite jealous. If he has a daughter, she has a cute little crush on her dad and always says she wants to marry him when she grows up. Mibuchi thinks it’s freaking adorable because she just doesn’t know any better.
Nebuya wants literally a million kids, so he’s not disappointed when he has triplets. He loves them all equally and makes it a point to make sure none of them feel left out. He keeps them active by often going outside and playing basketball or any other sport they suggest, and always encourages them to eat their fill (or even more). Group hugs are a must. The house is never quiet. His kids hang on his arms and his neck and his legs because they like to be carried all around, and they know their dad is strong enough to do that all day if he must. The boys want to grow up to be just like him.
Seirin
Hyuuga is a strict dad. His kids don’t mess around with him. They know he means business. Be in bed by bed time, eat all their vegetables, kiss their mama and papa goodnight every night–they know the rules. But he’s never mean or unapproachable to them. He’s very much like the captain of his family, everyone respects him but loves him. It’s a good balance.
Izuki is such a goofy dad. He became the biggest clown when his baby was born because he loves when to make his children laugh. It makes his heart explode from love and joy. His kids ask him to tell them jokes 24/7. Instead of bedtime stories, it’s bedtime jokes. They all take turns telling good jokes, and the kids would be so excited to bring home a joke they heard from school. Making their dad laugh makes them feel so proud. DAD JOKES 24/7
Kagami is the scary dad, but not to his kids. He’s so protective of his kids that their friends, and sometimes other parents, wonder if his kids are being held against their will. But the kids don’t see their papa as scary, they love him to death. And the only thing they love more than him is his cooking, which they beg for every night–and Kagami ends up cooking for their 6/7 nights a week even when he’s exhausted. He’s such a good dad. Someone wife him.
Kiyoshi is a dad ?? No. He’s a literal grandpa. Always giving his kids candies, always letting them sit on his lap, always reading books to them, and always giving them presents. These kids live a good life, and they never ever want to upset their dad because he’s just so kind and understanding. It would break their hearts to ever get scolded by Kiysohi, which happened once, and Kiyoshi cried all night.
Kuroko is the best dad. First off, when his baby first came into the world, no one could separate him from them. He would sleep right beside the baby’s crib when they were brought home, cradle the baby when he’s not sleeping, and he would most definitely buy that baby sling and always carry the baby around with him when he’s doing errands/chores. He adores his children and they grow up to respect him and love him just as much.
Shuutoku
Kimura is the helpful dad. He always helps out around the house and offers to take care of his kids all the time. Growing up, his kids never have to worry when their dad is around, and they love his calm nature.
Midorima is the strict and professional dad. Or, at least he tries to be. He started out being strict, always telling his kids no to staying up late, having extra dessert, or playing too many video games. But his secret weakness is the unconditional love he has for his kids, so when they look up at him with those puppy dog eyes, he knows he’s lost. Midorima really really wants to learn to cook for his kids, and they act as his little judges whenever he does make them something. Sometimes his feelings get hurt. He gives them their lucky item every day before they go off to school, but when they were babies, he’d carry their lucky items around with him and never leave their side. He gave his first born his little frog plushie. CUTE AF.
Miyaji needs an award for effort. He’s got a super short temper and it’s often tough to not yell or scold his kids, but he can usually get a grip and calm himself down. His kids aren’t usually scared of him, but they know they shouldn’t provoke him, so that in itself makes them behave somewhat. Other than that, they love joking around with Miyaji because he can be so silly sometimes.
Otsubo tries to be a strict dad, but it doesn’t come off very well because his kids don’t take him seriously. They always laugh at him, climb on him, ask him to play, etc, because he’s got such a friendly nature. Otsubo decides that he’d rather be the fun dad that his kids love to spend time with.
Takao iS SUCH AN ENTHUISASTIC DAD. He’s so encouraging in any of the activities his kids want to do. They want to do tennis ? He goes and buys their first racket with them. They want to paint ? Guess what Takao is out buying the second he hears the wish come out of their mouth. He has a close bond with his kids because he also shares the same child-like wonder and playfulness that his kids have and he treats every day like a new adventure. He taught his kids how to play leapfrog and now they do it all the time and it exhausts Takao. His kids are best friend’s with Midorima’s kids and they call him Uncle Shin-chan.
Touou
Aomine is literally not even a dad. He’s the cool older brother, unless his kids do something that the other parent wags a finger at, then he has to become the dad. But most of the time, he’s the one encouraging their rebellious behavior because he believes childhood is such an important part of discovering passions. He pushes his kids to being basketball players, but he wouldn’t mind if they fell in love with something else. He lets them ride on his shoulders alot, and one can always see a huge smile on his face when he’s with them. If he has a daughter, she is not allowed to date until she’s 40.
Imayoshi is the kind of dad who encourages his kids to try all sorts of things. He wants them to grow up well-rounded in their education, sports, and extra-curricular, so they are often busy. But Imayoshi also knows the importance of quality time, so when they’re all not busy, Imayoshi will take them on a little fishing trip that always turns out to be a fun time.
Sakurai is a very scared dad. He doesn’t want to assume his fartherly duties because he doesn’t want his kids to hate him if he has to discipline them. But he learns to bond with them through activities such as drawing and painting. His kids grow to love art, just like he does and he is so relieved.
Wakamatsu is such a good dad. He’s gentle when his kids need disciplining, a good listener when they’re upset, and a fun dude when they want to play. He taught his kids how to ride a bike and for that they trust him more than anything because they know he’ll always be there for them if they fall.
Yosen
Fukui is the super super fun dad. He’s always coming up with cool and new ways for him and his kids to do stuff. He loves to take them outside, especially in the winter, so he can teach them to snowboard, which he loves to do.
Himuro is the dad that all the other dads aspire to be. His kids ADORE him. He’s cool, calm, collected, but a fun guy who loves to spend time with his kids. He mainly likes teaching them things that are “useful”, like how to properly roast a marshmallow, how to build a sturdy pillow fort, etc. He actually has taught them useful things, though–he taught them how to tie their shoes, how to tie a tie, and how to get on their other parent’s good side.
Okamura IS THE MOST EXCITED DAD. HE’S ECSTATIC THAT HE HAS A KID OF HIS OWN AND HES GOING TO DROWN THEM IN LOVE AND AFFECTION AND FATHERLY OBSESSION. He’s so happy that the kid has his sturdiness because that means he can teach him to play basketball and he’s just so excited. Someone help him. LOTS OF PIGGY BACK RIDES.
Murasakibara is the kind of dad that gangs up on the other parent with his kids. Basically, he’s not really a dad unless his kid(s) comes to him with a problem, or they need advice, or any sort of parenting. He enjoys fatherly duties more than he thought, though, because he’s never felt that kind of responsibility before. This little life depends on him for survival, and he’ll try his best. Even if it’s not much. His kids love his hair. They pull it all the time.
Wei is such a conFUSED DAD. Poor THING. but he tries his best. he wants his kids to like him so much so that he seems clingy because he’s always around and lurking, just in case they need anything or need him. He is so pure, and the other parent needs to constantly reassure him that their kids don’t hate them. Sometimes he’ll pick his kids up so he can talk to them face to face without having to bend down or have them look straight up.
Other
Haizaki does not know what a kid is, neither did he ever want one, but here he was…a father. It may seem like he’s not trying, but he really does try to at least spend some time with…it. Mainly by playing sports or going out to eat. But that’s basically eat. The kid grows up thinking Haizaki is their older brother.
Nijimura is the ultimate dad. He’s responsible, he’s sort of strict but also fun, he’s amazing at giving advice, and he’s always there for his kids when they need him. Honestly, the kids could have never imagined having a greater dad. He bakes every weekend for his kids and they absolutely adore the mochi he makes them. Seeing their faces light up every time he’s making treats for them warms Nijimura’s heart and sometimes he thinks he might explode.
Let's Otaku About It
