prompt. when they offer you their jacket without a word. ft. manjiro “mikey” sano, takemichi hanagaki, ken “draken” ryuguji, chifuyu matsuno & takashi mitsuya
warnings: cursing
you try not to shiver, arms tucked close as you walk beside him under the slowly fading sky.
mikey glances at you once from the corner of his eye, then again, then sighs under his breath.
he slips off his jacket without a word. it’s big, warm, smelling faintly of his favorite sweets and motor oil—and drapes it over your shoulders.
“...mikey?”
he simply shrugs. “you were cold.”
your fingers curl into the fabric instinctively, tugging the jacket closer. it’s heavier than expected, like a hug wrapped in leather.
you open your mouth to thank him, but mikey just reaches for your hand like it’s nothing. “let’s get food. you’re always cold when you’re hungry.”
you’re not sure if he’s teasing or being serious. but either way, your heart feels warmer than your hands now.
takemichi notices you shivering slightly the moment you step out of the convenience store.
“oh! wait—here!” he panics, fumbling with the zipper of his jacket like he’s tasked with defusing a bomb. “s-sorry, i should’ve offered earlier—”
you barely get a word in before he’s wrapping it around you like a blanket, tugging the zipper up clumsily.
“takemichi, i’m fine—”
“no, no, you’re not! your hands are freezing!” he insists, rubbing your arms through your sleeves with furrowed brows. “i didn’t even think about how bad the weather was going to be—”
“you’re so dramatic.”
he pauses. “huh?”
“you’re cute.” you clarify softly with a grin.
takemichi goes red instantly. “i—w-what—!? i’m not—i’m serious!!”
you just laugh, snuggling into the jacket.
you’re standing beside draken’s bike, trying to act tough despite the goosebumps on your arms.
draken notices, of course.
he doesn’t say anything —just walks over, unzips his jacket, and tugs it around your shoulders from behind.
you blink, stunned by the sudden warmth. “ken?”
“you’re cold,” he mutters, like it’s obvious. “should’ve told me.”
“i’m fine, really—”
“just wear it.”
you move slightly to catch the way his ears are pink as he turns away to check the bike again, mumbling something about “freezing your ass off”.
you smile, holding the front of his jacket closed like it’s precious.
it is.
“here, take this.”
chifuyu barely gives you time to process before he’s slipping his hoodie over your head, ruffling your hair a little once it was on.
you stare at him through the too-big fabric. “but you’ll be cold.”
“better me than you,” he replies casually, arms already crossed over his now-thin shirt. “besides, i’m not that cold.”
you frown, tugging at the sleeves. “you always do this.”
he grins. “yeah, and you always look cute in my clothes.”
you tell him you’ll give it back, but the blush on his cheeks gives away how much he likes seeing you wear it.
you keep it on, obviously.
you’re rambling about something that you saw earlier while mitsuya listens attentively, palm placed under his chin as he gazes at you with such tenderness.
you don’t even notice the moment he steps closer to you, pulling off his coat without interrupting.
you pause. “what are you—”
“your hands are shaking,” he murmurs, gently guiding your arms into the sleeves. the fabric slides around you with ease—still warm from him, soft and clean and clearly handmade.
“...you noticed?” you ask softly, feeling your cheeks warm up.
“i always notice,” mitsuya says simply, smoothing the collar. “can’t let you freeze, right?”
you look up to find him already smiling down at you with that calm, steady affection of his— the kind that wraps around your heart like a scarf.
List of male shonen characters who, if they had used Yoshiki's ´I beg you on my knees to stay while I tell you how I feel about you´ technique, would have avoided many problems for the narrative:
➜ He was also one of those babies that had to be held in a weirdly specific way, or he'd start bawling.
➜ Baji believed in Santa until he was twelve. He was one of those kids who thought they could be good for one week and get off of naughty list
➜ In the first grade, Hakkai was in a school play. When it was his turn to say his lines and introduce himself to the crowd, he froze in place for a good 10 seconds and then started crying.
➜ Nahoya would steal Souya's pacifiers and bottles whenever their mother wasn't looking.
➜ Baji thought his mother abandoned him on his first day of preschool. His day was cut short after she came to pick him up early because he was attacking the other kids out of anger.
➜ Shinichro knew he wanted to be a mechanic from a very young age. He was the one other kids came to when their bikes weren't working.
➜ Rindou was an ugly baby.
➜ Ran would try to carry Rindou despite being nearly the same size as him.
➜ Izana hated losing games so much that he'd make everyone start the game over.
➜ Shion would hog the slide and yell at anyone who tried to touch it
➜ Hina was a tattletale and a teacher's pet
➜ All of Takeomi's friends were Shinichro's friends first. He's never made a friend on his own.
➜ Draken would refuse to nap in preschool. He thought naptime was for babies.
➜ Hanma would leave snacks by his closet and under his bed to make friends with the monsters that lived there.
➜ Akkun cried and had to be held still for his first haircut.
➜ If a classmate started crying, Souya would too. The other kids thought he was an attention seeker, but he's just empathetic
➜ Mikey froze in shock the first time he saw his teacher outside the classroom. He fully believed that teachers lived at school.
➜ Baji thought his mom's name was Mom until he was 4
➜ Shion was a sand eater
➜ 90% of Ran and Rindou's baby photos are of Rindou crying and Ran smiling. Mainly because he'd be the reason for the crying
➜ Emma collected stickers but never stuck them anywhere.
➜ Chifuyu wrote comic books and would read them to his momma
➜ Takemichi would ask Santa for a baby brother every year. His parents would get him a baby doll instead.
➜ At family parties, Mitsuya would become the designated babysitter. He didn’t mind, though; he liked being surrounded by babies.
➜ Mikey hated wearing socks. He said they made his feet feel trapped.
➜ Emma would play school and make fake homework for Baji, Sanzu, and Mikey to do. Which they never did.
➜ Ran would force Rindou and his toys to play for the audience in his fashion shows.
➜ Kazutora was afraid of the big bird from Sesame Street
➜ Inupi was a mama's boy. He'd cry or ignore anyone who held him if it wasn't her.
➜ Hanma was a giggly baby. He'd laugh at everything.
➜ Kisaki was a grumpy baby. He never smiled at anything
➜ Senju only ate what Sanzu ate. She'd even get upset if they didn't finish their plates at the same time.
➜ Izana wouldn't nap unless he was told not to.
➜ Hakkai had a favorite stuffed toy that he would bring everywhere. Taiju got rid of it along with many of the other toys that he deemed were for girls.
➜ Kazutora would wear his shoes on the wrong feet. His mother never cared enough to correct him.
➜ Shinichiro was dropped on his head more than once as a baby. Sometimes, Granpa Sano wonders if he would be different if that never happened.
