For that shipping Hikari with everyone (which same lol), I think my fav crack I've seen of her is Takuya from Frontier?? Go wild lol
((note: takuya and hikari are in the same age—both are 5th graders in this.))

hikari was walking her way home from school when she found a little boy crying in the middle of the street.
“what happened?” she asked as she lowered herself so that they were on the same height. “are you okay?”
amidst his whimper, he explained incoherently. “m, my br—other said t, that he’d pick m, me at the p—park, but he n, never came so i tried to go home by myself—b, but i get l, lost....”
hikari mumbled in understanding. “is your brother at school or work?”
he said school while pointing out a building in the distance—her school.
“what’s your brother’s name?”
“h, he’s—”
“SHINYA!” that was such a loud scream that hikari had no choice but to turn around. as the person ran in their direction, she could see that it was her own classmate who also her brother’s protégé in the football club. “what are you doing here?! i told you to wait in the park!”
“but you never came!”
“i have no choice—the coach gave us an extra practice. you have to understand that we’re going for a very important tournament!”
the debate between the brothers went on, and hikari decided to cut in by clearing her throat. probably takuya hadn‘t realised her existence earlier, thus he looked very surprised when he saw her standing there for the entire time. “h, hikari-chan?!”
“takuya-kun. i know the match is very important, but i think you shouldn’t be too harsh on your brother.”
“a, ah—ahahaha.” takuya laughed nervously. even under the sunset, it was obvious that he was blushing. “gomen ne, hikari-chan. thank you for helping out my brother anyway.”
“but i hadn’t got a chance to help him, actually. you came in before i managed to sort it out.” her serious face finally returned to its softer nature, before brighten up as if she was getting an idea. “i know! i can help by accompanying shinya home tomorrow if you're still busy with the practice.”
“eh, but it’ll be a hassle for you, right?”
“not at all. let me just walk with you guys together now so i can figure out the location of your house.”
“sure—WAIT, you're coming with us now?”
“yes. is that okay?”
“you're going to my house?”
“...yes?”
there was a very long silence. shinya broke it by saying, “oniichan, your face is very red.”
