hello there!
I recently discovered your blog and i was wondering if you could give your perspective/interpretation on how the starting five shohoku boys would be like if they had a crush on you. Maybe add in a little but of Kogure if you want.
i've been a fan of slamdunk for a realllyy long time now, but i wasn't able to watch it as often as i used to due to my studies.
BUT EVER SINCE THE MOVIE CAME OUT ON NETFLIX, it was like a raging flame of hyperfixation had been rekindled haha.
Hi dear, nice that you have found your way to my blog. You are my first ever request. i gave it my all. I hope you enjoyed it <3
Headcanons: Starting 5 having a crush on you
Hanamichi Sakuragi
He would be a Over-the-top show-off. He tries way too hard to impress you—slam dunks, flashy moves and dramatic poses after scoring. be prepared for a funny show.
Loud... even louder than usual. He yells extra loudly (to make sure you would hear him) when you’re around so you’ll notice him. he wold say something like,"Did you see that rebound?! I'm amazing!!"
Random acts of “helpfulness”: He offers to carry everything for you—even if it’s heavy, unnecessary, or you didn’t ask for it. Sometimes it would be even annoying.
He is soooo terrible at being smooth. Trips over his words. Says things like “I didn’t mean to grab your hand—I mean I did—I mean, no, I—uh—BYE!”
His Jealousy level? Maxed out. Glares at any guy who talks to you for more than 5 seconds. Rukawa? Especially. He would do his best , trying to keep Kaede away from you.
Surprise appearances were a daily thing. He randomly shows up early or stays late just to "coincidentally" see you.
While being so stressed by figuring out, how to talk to you he would be unintentionally so very adorable. He tries to act cool but ends up blushing, sweating, or awkwardly laughing.
Since he could not stop to think about you, expect him to also talks about you constantly. First, to his teammates: “Y/N totally looked at me today! Have you seen how cute she looked today?” Ansd also to himself to keep his courage up: “I’m definitely her type. Right? RIGHT?!”
He puts ExTrA effort in everything! He would work harder at practice just to get a compliment from you. He would die on spot, if you complimented him like: "You did so great Hanamichi, keep up the good work. This way I can cheer you on at a game pretty soon!"
If someone ever said something mean to you... He would defend you like a shining knight. The moment someone makes a joke at your expense, he’s shouting, “DON’T TALK ABOUT Y/N LIKE THAT!!” (Smetimes he would even say MY y/n)
His favourite daydreaming: Planing confessions… then chickening out, when it comes to realization. Stands in front of you, fists clenched, dramatic background music in his head… and ends up saying, “Nice weather today, huh?!”
Daydreams a lot. Imagines you cheering for him from the bleachers, maybe even holding up a “Go Hanamichi!” sign.
Kaede Rukawa
Silent stares, all the time...He watches you when he thinks you won’t notice—quiet, steady gazes from across the gym.
Walks you home without saying much. Blocks someone bumping into you like it was “nothing.” Like this he would subtly amke sure you were protected.
Blushes A LOT—but hides it well. If you compliment him? He’ll look away, ears a little red, but pretend he didn’t hear.
Random and quiet acts of kindness. He would leave a sports drink on your desk after club practice. Would never admit, it was from him.
Gets annoyed by your closeness to the other guys. Especially Sakuragi. You’ll never hear him say it—but the glare is lethal.
He feels a lot more focused around you. He plays harder, more intensely during games if he knows you’re watching. Like he’s showing off without trying to.
He would respond to you differently...You speak? He actually answers. Sometimes with full sentences. Rare behavior.
He would lingers near you all the damn time, not quite joining the conversation, just standing nearby like your silent shadow. Eventually says something simple, but sincere.
One day, after walking you home or during a quiet moment: “I like you. That’s all.” Then casually walks away like he didn’t just shatter your heart with one sentence.
Ryota Miyagi
Would behave extremly flirty but lowkey serious with you. I mean he's naturally flirty, but with you, it's different level—his teasing is softer, more meaningful and a lot more often.
Gets competitive for your attention. Always trying to outshine the others when you’re around, especially if Rukawa or Sakuragi is nearby.
Gives you cute nicknames, such as “cutie manager” or “my MVP” just to see you blush.
Sneaks or mix compliments for you between his jokes. “You’re way too cute to be around this team… I mean, have you seen Sakuragi?”
He would be AlWaYs checking if you're okay.
Notices when you’re tired or down and casually slips in a “You good?” like it’s no big deal—but he means it.
Offers to walk you home “just in case”
“What if a wild Sakuragi jumps out of nowhere? You need protection.” (But really, he just wants time alone with you.)
Touches become more thoughtful.Light taps on your shoulder, high fives that linger a second longer—subtle but intentional.
Jealousy is chill but very obvious. He won’t explode like Sakuragi—but he’ll get quiet or throw in a sarcastic comment if he sees you getting too close to someone else.
Would eventually confess in a smooth but sincere way. “Look, I joke a lot, but I really like you. And I’m not just playing this time.”
Takenori Akagi
Tries to act normal, fails miserably. He tells himself to stay focused… but gets flustered when you’re nearby and forgets what he was saying mid-sentence.
Extra respectful and formal around you. Uses polite language, stands straighter, and suddenly becomes way too professional—even when you're just handing him a towel.
Overthinks every little interaction. “Did I stare too long?”or “Was I too strict in practice?" or sometimes “Did she notice I hesitated when I said her name?”
Becomes unintentionally intimidating. He only tries to help you carry something but looks so serious about it, you think you’re in trouble. (He’s such nervous baby.)
Gets super protective. Keeps an eye on you without making it obvious. If someone’s bothering you? He steps in, calmly but firmly.
Always makes sure you’re taken care of very well. Brings an extra towel, makes sure you have water, reminds you not to overwork—even if he doesn’t say much.
Jealousy is quiet but intense. His jaw tightens. His eyes narrow. He stares down anyone who flirts with you, especially if it's someone like Miyagi.
Talks about you to Ayako… secretly. Pretends it’s “manager-related,” but Ayako sees right through him. (“Just tell her already, Captain.”)
Confesses seriously, sincerely, and directly. “I’ve been holding this in for a while... but I like you. A lot. And I mean that with everything I am.”
Hisashi Mitsui
Would play it cool… even too cool. He pretends it’s no big deal, but his eyes always find you in a crowd. That calm confidence slips when you smile at him with that look in your eyes.
Flashes you his “cool guy” grin a little too often. he would lean on the wall, arms crossed, throwing you smirks like, “Yeah, I know you’re looking.”
Becomes extra charming around you. Drops smooth one-liners casually, but watches your reaction closely. If you laugh or blush? He won’t stop teasing you for the rest of the day.
Protective but lowkey about it. Doesn’t make a scene. He just subtly steps between you and any trouble, making it clear: “They mess with you, they mess with me.”
Talks about you to Kogure like it’s “nothing”: “She’s just cool, you know?” Kogure would say: “Mitsui, you bring her up every day now, you like her or something.”
Acts a little reckless when you’re watching: Takes riskier shots during games just to impress you—even if the coach yells after.
Gets surprisingly thoughtful. He brings you your favorite drink after practice. Remembers the little things you say—like your music taste or snack preference.
Teases other guys who like you. “Sakuragi, don’t strain your brain trying to flirt. Y/N deserves better. than this”, he said looking him up and down.
Confesses with a rare moment of vulnerability. One night, after walking you home: “I’ve messed up a lot in the past… but when it comes to you, I don’t wanna screw this up. I like you, Y/N. For real.”
