little sketch for day 1 of knb week: board games! I accidentally drew babymura
headcanons⭐️
they play scrabble in duos bcs this friendgroup is the best at teamwork😃
MIDORIMA & AKASHI – they place words like „oxidized” or „whizbang”, are around 50 points ahead of other teams, it’s a renaissance of their friendship. midorima is also counting everyone’s points and joting them in his little notebook.
AOMINE & MURASAKIBARA – they place words like „dog” or „nope”, aomine is very very engaged but also very very dyslexic, murasakibara doesn’t help him at all. at some point aomine just starts adding letters at the end of already placed words, he’s kind of losing it.
KUROKO & KISE – 2nd on the podium, they place nicely sounding words like „faerie” or „melody”, they seem pretty chill compared to akashi, midorima and aomine, like they’re just having fun coming up with new pretty words. kuroko, though, actually wants to win badly and has some secret strategies that kise isn’t aware of. his favourite move is placing low scoring words on the spots with multipliers just to block akashi and midorima.
MOMOI & KAGAMI – they only have a few more points than aomine and murasakibara, but because aomine’s making a fuss, they fly under the radar and are happy to be 3rd best. before that event they haven’t had many chances to talk so now they’re mostly bonding [this is my kagamomo agenda]
trivia‼️🏀🪐
*it’s obvious that midorima won’t cheat (he’s too autistic for that) but kuroko is counting points on his own anyway. maybe midorima made a slip and him and kise should get more points????? (no, midorima never slips up in addition)
*actually murasakibara pays attention to the game, but doesn’t want to interfere with – what he considers – aomine’s strategy. he doesn’t really get the concept of cooperation in board games (i hc him as an only child who haven’t played any games with his parents except maybe for pick-up sticks. i believe he knows the rules of bridge just from watching his parents play with their rich friends) so he’d rather let aomine control the game, even though he easily comes up with high scoring words in his head (this team has the worst communication skills ever)
*there’s a running joke that kagami can’t read (he probably started it… okay maybe it was aomine), but halfway through the game he gets anxious that the rest of the crew will think of him as stupid (i like to think that kagami is generally anxious when it comes to blending in with GoM, like he doesn’t really belong with them outside the field; a sentiment he could share with momoi btw;)). SO now he’s making subtle efforts to casually prove that he in fact does not have a problem with reading. unfortunately momoi catches that and she joins him in his subtle efforts, which makes them no longer subtle („kagami WOULD YOU READ THAT FOR ME please?:3”). (murasakibara and kuroko’s mom who once came in with snacks are now both suspecting that kagami is really struggling with reading)
An angst prompt: "I love seeing you happy. Yet, I hate that I'm not the one to make you smile. I want to laugh when you do, yet I want to cry because that laugh isn't mine. It never will be, will it?"
She was two levels angrier, no scratch that, she was livid and beyond furious. Momoi indignantly plunged the ball to the waiting hoop with vigor that rivals the generation of miracles. She wanted to scream and scream she did.
“Dai-chan, you stupid, idiot!!!!!” came her earsplitting shriek that it resounded to the empty courts and possibly woke the entire neighborhood. She ran some more, dribbling the ball with her tiny hands and practically wheezing her frustrations through the hoop. Locks of pink were flying unceremoniously all over the place, in a messy ponytail she made. The sleeves of her uniform had been rolled scruffily on her elbows with a green jacket hugging the curves of her hips. She looked pleasantly rumpled, Kagami thought to himself.
Wait, what! He did not just say that. He was not a pervert. Kagami was in the middle of a mental confrontation when her stray ball trundled over the spot where he was watching her, quietly.
“Kagamin…?” flushed pink met crimson red. She moved her head a little to the right, indicating her confusion for the sudden disturbance. All his previous anger suddenly melted and flushed down the drain. Now, he was just panic-stricken. Afterall, he never expected such turn out of events.
An even redness started to surface his cheeks when Momoi moved her face closer to his. He was suddenly feeling so unwell being the subject of her attention.
Yes, Kuroko would like to repeat how useless Kagami was, in everything except basketball. Dealing with women is out of the question. Other than his perverse encounters with Alex and their basketball coach, he had zero association with womenfolk.
“Kagamin, are you here to play as well?” she asked again, this time around, her head retracted, an act for which he was quietly thankful for.
“I, -yeah” he muffled a sad excuse for an answer.
“Great! I was getting tired of playing by myself” she was practically beaming, and he stopped himself from chuckling. The transition of her moods was literally faster than a beam of light. One minute she was furiously spitting profanities, the next, she was all smiley over something so trivial. Without further invitation, he dropped his bag near her belongings and walked his ass on court in full throttle.
One hour passed and two exhausted souls were heavily panting on the nearby bench.
“Kagamin, you are a monster” she spoke in between her rapid breathings.
“I could say the same to you” he was grinning widely, beads of sweat trickling down the outlines of his face. She then picked a towel from her bag and offered it to him. A contented pause and one pregnant silence before Kagami spoke again.
“So, why are you so loud earlier?” She snapped her eyes at his question. She honestly did not expect him to bring up her humiliating actions from earlier. She eyed him, with disbelief, of his crass language and blatant insensitivity. Yet his eyes remained fixed into the broadest of skies.
“What did asshomine do again?” He muttered critically the second time. Somehow, his snarky question made her feel smile a little. He added the word “again” meant that he remembered the last time she came crying to Tetsu because of Aomine. It wouldn’t hurt to let her guard down a little.
“I…I baked cookies for the team today and Dai-chan said I was going to get everyone killed, and that I, I should give up cooking.” With tears glistening in her eyes, she was practically sobbing. And Kagami was terrified, this was the second time he had made her cry and for whatever reason god knows he was always at lost as to what to say during times like this. So, she had the same predicament as Riko, women are such a pain, he thought. What would Kuroko do at a time like this?
Oh right, he remembered. Mustering the little bit of bravery Kagami had left, he motioned his big calloused hand towards her head. For a moment she was stunned.
The way he stroked her was blaringly awkward, his hand was stiff, and she felt as though he was patting a frail puppy. Her loud sobs became subtle sniffling. For someone so buff and scary looking, Kagami Taiga was uncharacteristically tender.
“If you want, I could teach you. I mean- if you only want.” He added the last sentence hastily, to avoid any form of shade. Momoi practically squeezed the life out of him. And just like that, Kagami wasn’t so sure anymore if he was doing the right thing. Damn Satsuki and her ginormous tits!
Following the lead of that overprotective GOM, may I ask for a really funny scenario of Kagami dating Momoi, and everyone in the GOM are out to threaten and kill - just kidding, they give him their "blessings" and a LIL BIT of a warning~ please make it extra chaotic, like the GOM challenging Kagami in a one-on-one and only if he wins can they properly accept him, or something like that, your choice XD Thanks a whole bunch c;
Hi dear! I hope you’re going to enjoy it, because Ihad a lot of fun writing it! It could be a bit chaotic, I hope it’s stillreadable. Also, I’ve exaggerated some characters for a more comical effect, soit could be slightly ooc, but it’s voluntary.
Have fun!
KagaMomo and protective!MiraGen

Kagami and Momoi were walking down the street holdinghands, trying to reach the park for an ice-cream, when a car screeched to halton the street beside them. Momoi blinked perplexed at the long, black car andthen a horrified expression flashed on her face.
Kagami looked too, noticing his girlfriend hadsuddenly stopped, and, under his shocked stare, Akashi got off.
“Akashi?” the red-haired muttered, a really badfeeling shivering down his spine.
“I’m so sorry Kagamin!” Momoi whispered, squeezing hishand, and the boy understood.
Oh, fuck.
“Kagami-kun.” Akashi started, placing himself in themiddle of the way so they couldn’t pass, “Let me ask you, what do you think itqualifies you to be our Momoi-san’s boyfriend?” Asked in his cold, politevoice. Even if there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were terrifyinglyserious.
“You told them!” Kagami whispered her through hisgritted teeth.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t realize it!” she apologizedhonestly and he wanted to slam his head against the nearer wall.
“Kagami-kun, I asked you a question.” Akashi repeated,crossing his arm and losing his smile.
“Actually,-” He began, scratching embarrassedly his neck.
Luckily (or maybe not) for him, a sudden voiceinterrupted him.
“I’ve to admit I agree with him, Kagami-kun.” Kagamijolted and turned to see beside himself Kuroko, a vanilla shake in his hands.
“When did you arrive?” he yelled shocked.
“From the start. I’m tailing you two from Momoi’shouse.” He explained blankly, without even trying to feel ashamed.
“Are you fucking crazy?” Kagami shouted, while thegirl became red ‘till the ears. She had kissed her boyfriend in front of hisbest friend!
“I wanted to be sure you’re enough for Momoi-san.” Headded, furrowing his eyebrows.
“You’re my partner!”
“That’s exactly why I’m not persuaded.”
“Could you please not ignore me?” Akashi interruptedthem with a small cough.
“It’s not your business!” Kagami shouted exasperatedbut the two glared at him.
“She is ourbusiness.” Stated menacingly.
Kagami was without words. What they were, a mafia’sgroup?
“KAAAAGAAAAAMICCHIIII!” From far away, the Americanboy caught a glimpse of Kise, running towards him at full force, “WAIT RIGHTTHERE!”
“Damn!” Kagami cursed and, without other alternatives,he dashed past them before anyone could stop him, dragging Momoi with him.
“Kagamin!” she exclaimed, instinctively following himand trying to keep up with his peace.
“Run!” he ordered pulling her by the hand. They had toescape, now. Those guys had gone crazy.
He heard surprised exclamations behind him.
“Get on the car, Kuroko!” Akashi yelled and the carroared.
Damn!
To avoid being followed in the street, he suddenlyturned to the left, taking the wide path that entered in the park and wherecars couldn’t come. He felt a burst of hope in his chest, still running to finda place where they couldn’t reach them, but it was too early to celebrate.
In the air echoed the noise of wheels speeding on theground and, from nowhere, on their right appeared an open trailer pulled by abicycle; on the bicycle, Takao was pedaling with all his strength and seemed onthe verge of fainting, while in the trailer was seated Midorima.
“Kagami! Don’t escape and face us properly!” Midorimayelled at him with a cold glare, “We can’t let you take Momoi-san withouthaving tested your suitability!” added, fixing his glasses.
“Not you too!” Kagami groaned hopelessly.
“Kagami please stop! I’m dying!” Takao beggeddesperately, panting as if he was going to cease breathing in few seconds.Kagami looked at him with pity, but his sense of self-preservation forced himto avert his gaze.
“I’m sorry Takao!” apologized regretfully, suddenlychanging direction and pulling Momoi in a wood, through the grass and betweenthe trees.
“Kagamin!” she whined, starting to feel tired. Shewasn’t an athlete like him.
“I’m sorry Momoi, I’m going to hide you in a safeplace, don’t worry!” Kagami muttered, giving her a fond and worried glance. Shebreathed deeply but nodded. In that moment, she was scared of his friends too.
“YOU’RE NOT!” Kise jumped out of a bush, leaves andbranches in his clothes and ruffled hair, “YOU HAVE TO BEAT ME FIRST!” Yelledpointing a finger against him.
“Die Kise!” Kagami answering, avoiding him with asharp turn and running in the opposite direction. The boy swore and ran afterthem.
Suddenly, a wild Murasakibara appeared in front of thefugitives and Kagami crashed onto him.
“Ah,” the giant exclaimed blankly, “I’m gonna crushyou.” Added opening his purple eyes wide.
“You’re all crazy!” Kagami yelled hysterically,evading his hands and dragging Momoi to the left.
He exited finally from the wood in the open spacewhere children with playing peacefully, but a well-known voice echoed in theair.
“Kagami-kun, I order you to stop!” Akashi rdered,individuating him and chasing after him under the shocked star of the localmothers.
“You can’t escape us.” Kuroko threatened appearing tohis side like a damn ghost.
“Kagamicchi!” Kise was coming too near andMurasakibara tailed them silently and menacingly.
“Kagami stop!” The apparition from the left of Midorima,by foot, completed the cage to trap them.
They were surrounded, they could only go forward beforethey finally reached them.
Without even realizing, Kagami’s body had instinctivelybrought them to the only point of the park he knew well. He found himself onthe street basketball court without realizing and then abruptly stopped, realizinghe could have made a bigger mistake.
In the middle of it, playing lazily with a basketball,stood Aomine.
“Dai-chan!” Momoi exclaimed surprised and the boyraised his eyes on them.
Kagami, panting, froze on the spot and heard thescreaming guys who were tailing them coming to a halt too. They quieted down,stopping at the border of the court, like if some sort of special event was goingto take place.
“Oi, Kagami.” Aomine called him, giving a glance tohis and Momoi’s interlaced fingers, “Let’s play.” He only said, but Kagami knewhe couldn’t refuse. No that he wanted.
“Okay.” He replied, letting go his girlfriend’s handand patting reassuringly her head before entering the court.
Aomine didn’t even wait, coming at him immediately; hedribbled past him and pointed towards the basket, Kagamitried to stop him but he just evaded him and dunked. Kagami cursed and Aomine threw him the ball again.
“Satsuki sucks at cooking.” He suddenly said, in his low, indifferent tone,“Everything she prepares isn’t edible.”
Kagami furrowed, trying to pass through his defense.
“I know. I can cook for two,no problem.” Kagami replied, focused on the match.
Aomine stole the ball without breaking a sweat and advanced.
“She always bitches about everything, is childish, annoying andspoiled,” Aomine continued, trying to shoot but Kagami stopped him and tookpossession of the ball.
“Yeah, I know. But she’s also caring, cheerful andkind. Her flaws are not a problem.” Kagami muttered with firm eyes, trying toreach the other side of the court, but Aomine stole the ball again.
“She’s the worst type of woman,” Aomine added with aknowing snort, rushing to the basket, “She never says what she wants butexpects you to understand it; she needs attentions, love and to feel cherished.”
Kagami tried to stop him, but Aomine avoided him witha fluid movement.
“I know, but I don’t care. If it’s her, it’s fine. I’mjust happy being by her side. Cherishing and loving her is not a burden.” Mumbledblushing furiously.
Aomine let out a small sigh and jumped; Kagami mimickedhim to contrast him, but in the end, Aomine won and slammed the ball throughthe rim like a wild animal. Kagami fell with his back on the ground, whileAomine just landed on his feet and picked up the ball.
“Satsuki, I’ll be honest, is going to be a realhassle.” He stopped in front of him, “So, take care of her properly, alright?”murmured with a smirk on his lips, pointing the ball to his chest. His usualcold or annoyed eyes were unusually soft and worry was evident at their bottom.
Kagami blinked, understanding, and then a wide smile spreadon his face.
“You can bet on it!” Promised, standing up and takingthe ball, and Aomine nodded in acknowledgement.
Then Kagami looked at the silent crowd who had watchedthe match, and opened his arms wide.
“Someone else?” provoked, ready to fight for Momoi,who was watching the two boys of his life so fondly that she had small tears inher eyes.
Akashi sighed, crossing his arms.
“If Aomine had given his blessing, we can only surrender.”Admitted unwillingly.
“I have to agree, even if I don’t like it.” Midorima addedfixing his glasses.
“But remember,” Akashi continued, smiling politely asif he was going to murder him in his sleep, “If you ever make her suffer, we’regoing to let you experience the rage of the Generation of Miracles.” Threatenedand his eyes shined with the colors of the Emperor.
Kagami gulped, but nodded seriously.
“There’ll be no need.” Assured and he made a note tohimself to be the best boyfriend ever or, damn, he was dead for sure.
“It seems I have to acknowledge you too.” Kurokocommented, slightly disappointed, and resumed slurping his vanilla shake.
“You were just enjoying it, weren’t you?” Kagamigrowled, rubbing his temples for the exasperation.
“I’ve never said that.” He replied deadpanned, but hisfriend knew he was smirking inside.
“You bastard…” roared.
Kise stomped his foot on the ground.
“Eh? I don’t want to accept it like this!” poutedchildishly, “Kagamicchi play against me too. You have to beat me!” Challenged him,grinning wildly.
“Oh? Bring it on, Kise!” Kagami accepted, making theball spin on his finger.
“I still want to crush him too. I’ll play.” Murasakibaramuttered, throwing away an empty bag of chips and licking his fingers.
“I’ll take Takao and then we play too.” Midorimaagreed, moving towards where he had left the trailer.
“What happened to him?” Akashi asked slightly worried,arching an eyebrow.
“He fainted in the trailer but should be fine by now.”He answered shrugging as if it was something normal.
“A good match, I approve it.” Kuroko commented with afaint smile and stretched himself., preparing to play
Kagami looked with an excited smile at all the guys, willingto play basketball with him, but then he remembered an important thing.
“Wait, I was on a dat-”protested looking at hisgirlfriend, who chuckled.
“It’s okay Kagamin!” Momoi interrupted him, tugging astrand of hair behind the ear, “Let me see you win, right?” she cheered on him,winking and blowing a kiss.
Kagami blushed, stiffening, and nodded embarrassed.
“I-I’ll win for you.” Stuttered, starting to feelpumped up.
Wrong move. Wrong words.
A cold chill made him shiver. When he turned to facethe others, a curse left his lips and his animal instinct begged to run awayagain.
All the members of the Generation of Miracles weresurrounded by an evil, dark menacing aura and were smirking devilishly at him.
“Yes, Kagami-kun.” Akashi agreed activating hisEmperor Eye, “Try your best to win.”
