BNHA Chapter 326 Analysis: All Might’s Legacy

We’re finally back! I hope Horikoshi had a good break to rest up. Glad to see him back in full form! This chapter focuses on All Might and (finally) his conversation with the Hero Killer: Stain. It’s a simple, but very effective chapter that shows us again how important All Might is to the world regardless of if he’s a Pro Hero or not. Anyway, I’m reading the official translations this week since Shonen Jump was released early this time b/c of a Japanese holiday. I honestly kinda wish Shonen Jump was released on Fridays. It’s a good way to cap off the week:

Like I said before, this chapter is primarily a conversation between Stain 🩸 and All Might ✨. This was set up for a while since all the way back in the Hoseu arc, but it was really set up before the war happened. All Might even mentions it in this chapter, but it got delayed for some reason. I would say it was because of the war, but the war happened months after that second set-up, so that couldn’t have been it. So, I wonder why it was delayed?

The title of this chapter is called “Who Are You Really?” which is the question Stain asks All Might during their convo. All Might gives an answer, but ultimately, All Might is a true hero who wanted to step into the limelight purely to save people and give them that Symbol of Peace he thought they all needed. Even after retiring, he still did his best to encourage and train Deku to become his successor. He looked out for the other students along the way. And like Aizawa said, even his presence alone is giving people the push they need to keep going.

Despite knowing all this, All Might is still disappointed in himself for not only failing Deku, but failing Japan as a whole and letting the war happen.

Really, there wasn’t anything All Might could’ve done about the war. His power was running out and Kamino pretty much snuffed most of it. Even if All Might did have his power during the war, it took several Pro Heroes and students to knock out Shigaraki. I highly doubt fighting Shigaraki + Gigantomachia would be easy for him.

As for Deku, All Might could’ve said more to him before he took off, but how was he when Deku kept pushing All Might away. Also, All Might doesn’t have it in him to tell Deku to stop what he’s doing as Bakugo’s told us before. They’re the same sacrificial idiots who will risk their lives to save others. All Might still needs to talk to Deku though.

This is where Stain comes in. He’s still as insane as he ever was, but he isn’t out to kill All Might. Remember, Stain thinks All Might is the only hero worthy enough to kill him. So, instead, he gives All Might some words of encouragement that actually seem to help him. Stain being All Might’s life coach was not have that on my bingo card...

Stain lets him see a woman with a snowball/puffball(?) Quirk taking off the “I Am Not Here” sign from the All Might statue in Kamino and cleaning the statue too. Turns out she does this every day despite it being dangerous to even walk outside. That woman is the last person All Might saved during the All Might vs. One For All battle. She was that woman who was pinned down from the debris (Horikoshi drew scars on her leg to show this; nice touch) and pleaded All Might to save everyone. She gave All Might the strength to keep fighting. So, in return for saving her, this woman is now saving him again.

All Might looks at this and starts to cry 😭 as Stain monologues how All Might was loved for his smile and his will to save people. It had nothing to do with his Quirk. His flame still lives on in the future generations of heroes: Deku, his friends, his classmates, the Pro Heroes left, and all the civilians who still believe in him. So long as those flames burn, All Might’s legacy will live on 🔥.

Stain knew he was talking to All Might this whole time (he had doubts earlier because of All Might’s skinny form, so he tried buffing up earlier, but it didn’t work), so he gives All Might info he got in Tartarus. Then he wants All Might to kill him for real. I wonder what Stain got from his time in Tartarus? Maybe this info will help take down Shigaraki and AFO? Maybe it’ll have more info on other Tartarus inmates? You gotta wonder.

Also, Stain states that he killed 40 heroes now. Wasn’t his Kill Count in the 10s last time? Did he kill more heroes since he escaped? It would fit his ideology since a lot of Pro Heroes quit. Regardless, that’s a lot of people. His kill count is higher than Dabi’s now.

Finally, as All Might cries, the Kamino woman sees that the rain has finally stopped. I saw people mention how it’s symbolic how it looks like the All Might statue punched the sky to changed the weather like how All Might did that literally when he saved Bakugo and Deku from the sludge villain at the beginning of the series. Ironically, that first punch brought rain 🌧. The statue’s brought sunlight ☀️.

Before I end things off, I have to mention he art in this chapter and how well it helps tell the story. Horikoshi has always been good at letting his art show his story as much as his dialogue tells it. All Might picks up Deku’s damaged steel mask that was left behind as a way to show that they’re still connected (also that mask was originally inspired by All Might’s smile; gotta love symbolism). Stain and his speech bubbles are drawn as crazy as ever. Shoto’s Ice is still there, so this is right after All Might walked away from UA last chapter (you need to melt that ice, honey, it’s a hazard). It’s been hot minute since Horikoshi’s drawn Buff-Might in the manga and it definitely looks like his art style’s improved a lot since then. There’s one panel that shows All Might running into danger paralleling how Deku ran in to save Bakugo from the sludge villain (it’s even drawn pretty much the same 😭). I noticed that All Might didn’t flinch at all when Stain threatened him with his sword; there’s something sad in the fact that he almost expects to die at this point 😢. And there’s the panel showing everyone who keeping All Might’s flame alive. Our own Big 3 are front and center here too. I’m still waiting for Deku to respond to Bakugo’s apology and Shoto’s time to shine, Horikoshi 😤. Also, All Might imagines Deku clean, so I hope he’s as clean as this when he finally takes his goddamn bath 🛁!

Overall, great chapter! Loved how the Kamino woman (please give these people names, Horikoshi...) came back and still believes in All Might. Loved how move All Might is and I hope he finally has the courage to talk to Deku. Can’t believe Stain gave All Might a legitimate pep talk tough. Like, Stain is complicated. He’s definitely a villain and he should be locked up, but he’s not AFO level villain. He wasn’t wrong with his ideology, but that doesn’t mean all heroes should die because of it. For example, Ochaco would’ve definitely been Stain’s target at the beginning because she did want to be a Pro Hero to give her parents some money. A genuine and grounded goal, but not in Stain’s eyes. So, having him show All Might the light is something to look positively on. Even if it’s ultimately for All Might to kill Stain one day. Still hope it’s a push in the right direction for All Might. Hopefully for us too now that the sun’s out.

Me @ the Kamino woman being one of the few good civilians left:

2 birds....one stone.

Alright....this is my first post on /prorevenge, hell on reddit period. This is quite a bit long...so just bare with me.

EX: ex husband EM: ex’s mother me: naturally it’s me. MM: my mother SD: step dad MS: my little sister

About 9-10 ago (I was 17, turning 18 in 2 months) I met a young man (22 years old) a former US Marine. Good looking guy, smart, and funny. We talked for awhile before we went on an actual date. The date’s were always wonderful. In May 2010, I met his 3 year old daughter on her birthday. She was wonderful. I also met EM on that day as well. Not so wonderful. A b***h to be exact. But whatever, ya know. Early in our relationship we get engaged, young & dumb me was ecstatic. I’m still in high school at the time, 11th grade to be exact. Because of medical conditions (Epilepsy) I was held back in 9th grade. I write down literally everything, because my memory is absolutely horrid. So I had to find that notebook to make sure I had details correct. Anyways......at 17, early 18 I was this skinny little thing 5’2” 120-130lbs and very much “gifted”.

We get engaged & I move out of MM & SD’s house. I move to a city about an hour away. Transfer schools to a high school that was huge. I’ve always gone to small town schools. I was terrified. Right after I turned 18, I was put on a seizure med that made me gain 80lbs in a month. I had never been this big & went into a very deep depression. For an entire year I refused to take pictures with people, didn’t dress nice (I stuck with basketball shorts/sweats & t-shirts). We get an apartment soon after I move to the city. I have a job at the local home store & he has a job at a restaurant.

7 months later we get married. People were congratulating MM on becoming a grandparent.......I have never been pregnant, that’s how big I had become. I graduate high school & start working full time. EH has started working 20+ hours overtime at just a little fast food place (which obviously should have been a red flag for me at the time....but wasn’t.) After we were married, EH had informed me that he was dishonorably discharged from the military....that he never even made it out of boot camp. Because a guy pissed him off & he hung the guy out of a barracks window by his feet but ultimately pulled him back in. So then I realize that not only is this man violent, but manipulative as well. I had already got this man’s initials tattooed on my wrist (yes, I know, stupid as hell.) EH starts showing up at home with more & more money. We furnished the apartment with a new 55” TV. New furniture. Game consoles. EM starts treating me like shit, like I had done something wrong. Accusing me of being a gold digger & taking advantage of her sweet, sweet son....then started messaging MM & posting on Facebook that I was a lesbian and cheating on EH.

EH showed up one evening after work, a little nervous. He had gotten a call to show up at a meeting with his boss the next morning. He drops me off at my job that next morning (which is right across the parking lot from his), and then goes to his meeting. A few moments later I see a cop car show up & leave a few minutes later. Who happened to be in the back? You got it, EH. I found out that not only had embezzled over $3000. I moved home with MM & SD. EM continued to harass me. While her boyfriend would be texting me & asking me to have sex with him & doing other things with him. I made sure I had screenshotted everything. I got EH phone from police & started going through it. Messages, Facebook, etc. I found out that not only had he been cheating on me with a 16 year old girl. But he had also made fake Facebook acct and had been messaging MS who was 12 at the time. Asking her for sexual favors. Then I found multiple dating apps on his phone & with HUNDREDS of messages to multiple women asking about sex & relationships & marriage with them.

At that point I was furious & extremely done. I am very family oriented & would give my life for MS. So I also screenshot that Facebook acct & all of the messages to not only MS but to the 16 year old as well. And email them to myself. I gather all of the screenshots, sort them out. Send screenshots of the messages to MM & send screenshots of EVERYTHING to EM. Screenshots of her bfs convo, 16 year olds convo, & MS’s convo. To show her, that her sweet, sweet son was not only a pedophile but a manipulative little fuck who embezzles money like stupid fuck from his job. When she showed up to meet me, her face was PRICELESS. It was a mix of disappointment & disgust. She apologized to me about everything she had said. I went about my way. She broke up with her bf & kicked him out on the streets (he was from a state very far north of where I live).

I took the screenshots of the messages to MS & the 16 year old to the police. He got in even more trouble & not only had to spend 3 months in jail for the embezzlement but had to spend 2 years in prison & have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. He apparently had met a young girl somehow during the final days of his stay in prison, and moved in with her & her parents (she was 16 as well) when he got out. His mother & brothers had disowned him, cut contact, and he lost any custody/visitation with his daughter. I knew I still had the screenshots in my email. So I found out who the child was he was living with & figure out who her parents are & send them the screenshots. Let them know he is a sex offender & had talked with a different 16 year old & a 12 year old. They kick him out into the streets as well. Last I heard, he was couch hopping and jobless (this was as of last year).

As a result of everything, I am now in a very wonderful marriage (almost 4 years) with a man I’ve known for 13 years.

Him & EM bf both lost a lot & I feel no regret in any way, shape, or form. I done a lot to keep children safe from him. I am one of those people who feel like there’s only 1 cure for a pedo....but we will keep that violent comment out of here.

Anyways....sorry it was so long.

Insomnia // Hwang Hyunjin [bulleted scenario!]

Summary: In which you and Hyunjin are both too oblivious to realize your true feelings... until it’s too late?

Genre: angsty, floooof, gender neutral

Word Count: 2175

Warnings: Just some cursing

A/N: This is my first time writing a bulleted scenario and i quite enjoyed it :) idk it’s fun to not care about settings too much and punctuation and stuff. I also liked adding my own little dumb remarks here are there :PP it was fuN! This was another scenario that kinda arose while i was napping i hope you guys enjoy it! <3 i love stray kids

i’m also gonna try to make all my scenarios gender neutral from now on (unless specifically requested) b/c we are all about inclusivity here !! :)

This was originally gonna be like a real fic

But the writers block was REAL like i really tried to set the scene and everything

But it didn’t turn out right

And i really wanted to get this one out so HERE WE ARE TRYING THE BULLETED SCENARIO OKAY YAY LETS BEGIN!

Trainee au!! Kinda :D

Like skz didnt go through the survival show yet

Ok so SEtting thE SCeNe~~~~

You just walked into the jyp building bc jyp hired you as a new producer

Like to study under him and potentially help w producing in the future

Like jyp 2.0 ya know

Jyp meets w you himself bc you’re like a prodigy

And a foreigner so he thought you’d be more comfortable w him speaking toyou in english :D

So he explained what you gotta do during your training period

Like studying more about composition and production

Learning korean to more easily communicate w idols and what not

And also honing your own style and figuring out who you are as an artist

So he pairs you up w the trainees bc it be good practice

More specifically skz bc they seem to have a more flexible style

Also like he thought it would be good for you to work w chan and the rest of 3racha

Like bc yall around the same age

And it helps you become more comfy

And familiar w the company and the producing rooms and recording studios and what no

Yer

And then like

Through working w them to produce a song for the trainee showcase

Yall get mad close

And like

You have your eyes on hyunjin from the start

Like bc who couldn’t

Gorgeous boy

At first you were just like “this is admiration”

“He very handsome i just admire his features”

Yeah

And maybe it was..

At first

Now it's a full blown crush

For real

That boy is so hard working

Like you constantly see him asking for help

So he can improve

And like

People always said he was a visual only

Which made you feel bad that you saw that at first

But you realized later

That like

You actually like him bc of his personality

What a hard worker

For real

Angel

Anyways

Little did you know that your crush was NOT one sided

Hyunjin admired your hard work in producing

And how you always took criticism well and only worked to improve your work

Also

He thought you were hella cute

So yall were both kinda obvious

Him more than you

Like by a loT

So skz knew for a fact that hyunjin was head over heels in love w you so they pushed him to confess to you

Yeah he was like no

But after PEEr pRessUre

He finally agreed

They was gonna plan something like a party for you

To celebrate the time you’ve been w the company

But the showcase came before the celebration and suddenly they were on a survival show to see who would debut

So the party was postponed OOOODDDDD

But you didnt even know it was gonna happen so you didnt mind anyways

Soon enough it got closer to your birthday, and skz just decided to make it a birthday celebration instead

Hyunjin was more iffy about confessing bc what if you dont feel the same and he ruins your bday oh no

But at this point, skz was sure you liked him back so they were like dont worry about that they aren’t like that your relationship will be fine

So the party happens ladida

You were super surprised and sosososososo happy

Bc like

Your hart

These boys were precious and totally made your day

Tbh bc of your work

You almost forgot it was your birthday

After the crazy loud party, you wanted to like take some quiet time for yourself so you excused yourself

And then walked to the hallway and sat by the window and looked out at the city and the night sky

Beautiful

And suddenly you heard footsteps

It was this boy named jason who you were friends with

He was from the same town you were from so you got close p quickly when you first got to jyp

And jason had a not-so-secret crush on you

That ofc you were oblivious to

But he came over there to spend time w you and wish you happy bday

Little did you know

Hyunijn was mentally preparing himself to confess to you down the hall and around the corner w a pretty bouquet of flowers what a sweet boy

And when he finally works up the courage, he turns the corner and sees jason giving you a bday hug

And he cant help but feel his hart drop

Yall look good together and like you were from the same town so similarities

So he was heartbroken needless to say

He quickly turned around and walked away

But you heard the footsteps and saw just a glance of his outfit retreating

You excused yourself from jason’s company and ran after him bc you are so in love w this boy

You were gonna hug him and thank him, but when you approached he took a step back

Like ow

That hurt

He quickly stammered that he had to go home bc he was tired and left

He was hiding the flowers behind his back :’(

And then tossed them as soon as he left the building

He went for a long ass walk to clear his mind and soothe his aching heart

You were so worried

Was he okay?

You went home soon after bc you couldnt help but worry and that made you super tired

But you couldn't sleep

InsOMniA

Goddamn it hyunjin

You messaged him

“you’re prob sleeping but i hope you feel better”

Dry ass reply: “thx”

Like wow

Rude

But you let it go

jic he was actually really exhausted

You knew he took criticism from the show too so maybe it was that

Hopefully he’d talk to you about it bc he usually did

But he didn't

He avoided you

Your heart really couldnt take it

Meanwhile you and jason got closer bc you didnt have hyunjin to hang out w anymore

Despite your many efforts

And this just further fuels his belief that yall are together

So to ignore the tinge in his heart every time he saw you, he buried himself in practice

Didn't sleep

Didnt drink enough water

Didnt eat enough

He was getting dangerously skinny and unhealthy

And it affected his attitude

Not only to you but to his members

One day you were asked to come in and monitor a recording session

And he was happy and giggly in front of the camera

But as soon as it turned off u could see the fatigue

And you told him that he should take better care of himself

And he SNAPPEd at you

You actually flinched bc he was so aggressive

Your heart SHATTEREd

And you, also sleep deprived as FUCk

Slapped him

Not super hard, but like a “what the fuck is wrong with you”

And you walked right out, not even bothering to hide your tears

And he was sad but he thought that you hating him would help him get over you

What a dumb boy

You completely avoided him after that

You also still had restless nights

God that convo kept playing over and over in your head

YOU COULDNT SLEEP

But one day you got a call from chan

He needed your help

Hyunjin was seriously overworking himself and he was afraid hyunjin was gonna collapse

Luckily you were still at the company working on smth bc ofc you couldn't sleep anyways so might as well make use of your time

So you finally agree bc even if you’re still angry at him, you are srsly worried about this boy

And when you get to the dance room your heart breaks all over again

Hes so pale

And sickly looking

And hes shaking but hes still dancing

You knock and hear a gruff “its open”

The music pauses for a moment but when he sees its you he scoffs and turns it back on

“what do you want”

“Uhm.. are you okay?”

“Why? You wanna slap me again to make me feel better?”

Ofc you rolled your eyes bc wtf hyunjin you were being nice

“I dont even know why i bothered”

You go over to the stereo and turn it off yourself

And he turns to you angry

ARGUMENT TIME

Him: “WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?”

“MY PROBLEM?!!!?!?? YOU’RE THE ONE WHO PUSHED ME AWAY FOR NO DAMN REASON!! AND EVEN AFTER ALL THAT, I STILL TRIED TO BE NICE AND ASK IF YOU WERE OKAY. I WAITED FOR YOU TO OPEN UP TO ME. TO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHATEVER WAS BOTHERING YOU!”

At this point, you’re practically sobbing like udk if he can understand you but who cares

All this frustration that was pent up inside felt good being released

Bc at this point, you had nothing more to lose

Hyunjin already hated you so like why not just speak your mind amirite

Anyways continuing w the dialogue:

“HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY PROBLEM WHEN MY PROBLEM IS YOU!”

Cue awkward pause/break thing (AWKwARD SiLEncE)

“What are you talking about hyunjin?”

He sighed defeatedly

It was now or never. He felt like his relationship w you was ruined already anyways

So he, like you, also had a ‘what do i have to lose’ mentality

“I was going to confess to you y/n. That night at your birthday party. But i was too late. I saw you with jason and you looked so happy and perfect together. So i left. I cut my ties with you because i didn’t want my own feelings to get in the way of your happiness.”

You were completely utterly speechless

Like there were an overwhelming number of feelings enveloping you atm

Bc on the one hand:

The love of your life just confessed to you

But on the other

What a dumbass

You end up laughing and scoffing at his words bc

Hes so dumb

You dont like jason

God you’ve been in love w hyunjin for so goddamn long

And now you’re debating over how to respond

But like your anger and frustration kinda takes precedence bc youre also sleep deprived and you go

“ so, you broke your own heart and then you broke mine because you didn’t want to talk to me about it you dumbass ????”

And he gives you that classic confused puppy-dog look

W the head tilt and everything

And you go

“Hwang hyunjin, i’m fucking in love with you”

And he just stares blankly at you and blinks like 8 times trying to comprehend what just came out of your mouth

And his lips form an ‘o’ shape

And then hes coming closer and wrapping his arms around you

And you dont even mind that hes still sweaty and kinda smelly

Bc hes finally in your arms

But holding him so close also makes you super aware of just how skinny he’s gotten

Like it was worse than you thought

So you pull back and you open your mouth to chastise him

But before you can even start he’s cupping your cheeks can pulling your face to his

Your lips collide and then they're molding into one another

And your mind kinda blanks out

But your automatic reaction seems to be letting your fingers run through his hair and pulling him closer towards you

And when yall finally come up for breath

He tries to go in for another one like immediately after

Like slow your roll boy you guys can kiss all you want later

If you said that out loud, he wouldve responded w something like “we gotta make up for lost time”

But you put your hands on his chest and hold him back

And he pouts

(you almost squeal at how cute he looks)

“Ok, now that we’re dating, i am literally commanding you to take better care of yourself because this,” you eye him up and down, “is unacceptable”

And he quirks an eyebrow up and is like

Oh? I don’t recall asking you out? On a date?”

And you get all blushing and become a blubbering mess and hide your face in his chest like

“Shut up hyunjin”

But he’s just giggling at your embarrassed face :D

Then, him being the dramatic hoe that he is, he gets down on one knee in front of you and says

“y/n, y/l/n, will you go out on a date with me?”

And ofc u say yes

And after that whole dramatic scene, you pull him out of the practice room, fingers intertwined, ready to stuff him with food

And he goes

“I dont think i said it back.”

“Said what back?”

“That i love you”

UWU

And the rest is history

EPILOGUE No Risk, No Reward

Welcome to the night read guys!

tag list: @kaidasen

Side notes: about two months later (mini time skip) ; introduction to other managers outside of Fukurodani & two other schools get mentioned here.

_ >Thank you for reading this fic! <_

ⒺⓅⒾⓁⓄⒼⓊⒺ ⓁⒾⒻⒺ

Akaashi’s name lit up on my cell phone. I could let tell if he was angry he missed his chance at trying to snag me up before Bokuto did, but I figured he was calling because he was worried about our relationship balance.

“Why do I feel like you’re trying to act like my nii-chan right now, Keiji?” I asked. I was pacing my room again trying to reshuffle my books. It was a few weeks since Bokuto and I had our “scandalous” rendezvous, but when I told my mother what happened, she nodded in approval. Then she said something along the lines of, “At least my other son is hot too,” and I told her Akaashi is not for her.

“Because I care about you? Duh. Besides, I already told him at practice if he breaks your heart, I’m not tossing to him until the spring tournament.”

“Oh my god Akaashi.”

“Well, if it were me, I would assume Kaori and Yukie backed you up?”

“Yeah. Also, Kuroo and Kenma say hi. We had a practice match with Nekoma today. Real talk though, Kuroo wanted your number in case you and him got accepted into the same university.”

“Just give it to Kuroo. Don’t tell Bokuto though, he might be emotionally dejected again. Anyway, sorry to cut this convo short, but I have to head out with my mom for grocery night.”

“Alrighty. Later Muda-san.”

About an hour later, I received a text from the captain of Nekoma. It was a photo meme of a chemistry pun:

18:07

To: ヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉ Boku-bro GF Muda-chan ヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉ

From: (〜￣▽￣)〜 Nekoma VBC-captain???

“Did you hear that oxygen and magnesium started dating and I was like: OMG!”--Kuroo, T.

18:10

To: (〜￣▽￣)〜 Nekoma VBC-Captain KT

From: ヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉBoku-bro GF Muda-chanヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉ

>..< that pun hurts me, but i like it. i g2g. late night archery practice has me in it’s clutches. ttyl

-Muda-chan

______________________________________________________________

At my previous competition, I received my final placement score of the year and was gifted a plaque for placing in the top 3 of our prefecture. Even though Bokuto had missed this tournament due to another volleyball game, he sounded peeved on the phone last night:

“I really wanted to see you win,” he was annoyed. I could picture him pouting on the other side of the call.

“It’s ok Bokuto, we knew this was gonna happen anyway,” I spoke into the receiver. “Besides, you’ll see me on campus tomorrow before your game. You can wish me luck then. Oh! If I win and finish in the top 5, can you please buy me the parfait I like at the cafe?”

“It’s a deal and a date love,” he said. “Good night.”

“Night,” I stiffed a yawn afterwards and of course he caught it.

“I caught that yawn of yours like how I caught these feelings,” Bokuto said. I could tell he was trying to be really kind currently and my tired mind had stopped working altogether and in my flustered state I said something really hilarious.

“I did too you human snow owl. Good night Kotaro.”

“Oof, that hurt, but I still love you nonetheless. Get some rest babe.”

I hung up and placed my phone on its charger in order to change into my pajamas. It was getting cooler now, but I remembered my mom mentioning that she found Bokuto’s team jacket lying around after one of our study sessions earlier that week. She and I had a mini-argument over it, but in the end she laughed the most because the thought of the two of us heading to different universities was probably not the best one to blurt out when I chose to wear it in front of her.

“That jacket looks like a dress on you, but he’s your boyfriend now, so I have to get used to seeing you in it, hahaha,” she told me.

“I know I know. It’s embarrassing because he can’t even wear my jackets, not that I’d let him anyways.”

“Hotaru, all I’m saying is that after this last competition of yours, I suggest you keep wearing it around him. It might boost his morale during an actual game when he sees you in it.”

“MOTHER!”

After I slipped on my pajama top, I grabbed Bokuto’s jacket from the back of my desk chair and draped it around my shoulders. It was like receiving a distant hug from him. When I was done swishing my arms with his jacket on, I sat on my bed to pick up my phone, and it was where I took one (of the soon to be many) photos of me wearing his club’s jacket and I sent it to him with this caption: “Good luck at your next match. Don’t make Akaashi mad! >.<”

Presently, at the back in the stands of the competition, I noticed three volleyball club managers running up to me each holding a program book with today’s schedule. They all sported their official jackets from the schools they represented, although I already noticed one in Fukurodani’s colors.

Luckily, the place where my last competition took place had an area secured off for the students to change out of their formal attire, so when I left the ceremony, I was dressed in a casual style (for me, today was a skinny jeans, shirt, club jacket and combat styled boots kind of day).

“Thanks for coming everyone,” I said. I glanced down at the camera and the blonde girl started to get all flustered. I couldn’t tell if it was because she thought I was pretty, or because she was a naturally shy first year. Then, she stuck out her hand for a hand shake and I humbly obliged only to let go and shake the other girl’s hand (she had glasses on and honestly, she looked like a floating deity) who stood next to her.

“Bokuto is gonna be so mad he missed out on you looking really cool,” Kaori said. She and I had gotten close since the Tokyo training camp everyone had attended; Yukie was busy today too since today was one of the qualifying matches for Fukurodani to move on to the next round before the Inter-High Spring Tournament were decided.

“I’m Hitoka and this is Shizumi. We’re the volleyball managers from Karasuno, but we didn’t have a game today, so we’re here to cheer for you. The three of us met a few times already through Bokuto-senpai and Kaori-chan. I’m gonna go home and edit these. Is it ok if I tag you on social media for these?”

“Sure Hitoka-chan,” I said. “I’m gonna head home. Probably planning on listening to the highlights from the volleyball match today. Thank you ladies for coming out to support me.”

Later that evening, Bokuto met me at the cafe and we both took turns talking about our days in the field and on the volleyball court. Akaashi coincidentally received the memo about meeting here, so the three of us could enjoy the remaining daylight of the autumnal Tokyo weather.
