(before I start, I wanna mention how cute atsumu yoshinaga is??? please let me adopt him)

omg omg the way satowa's arms tightened around chika's shoulders when he tried to move her away from him

the way chika's hands are drawn is so beautiful ???? like really really pretty, I spent the first 5 mins of reading just stuck on his hand structure

the moment that everyone noticed (bc how could you not??? it really does deserve a whole fucking page)

oh this one isn't fangirling, more like it brings out my bloodlust (he tried to hit the satowa houzuki w a fucking metal pipe??? excuse you, just wait till I get my hands on that pipe—)

chika literally swung satowa to the other side so that she wouldn't get hit by the pipe and he would get hit instead. both situations are absolutely horrible, so it's a good thing tetsuki(TvT) came in when he did

any hirosenpai-satowa moment (no matter how small it is) is appreciated and makes my day, thank you

might've messed up chika's left hand haha

I've never written fanfiction before, but these two make me want to. ☺

Okay: here is a summary of how it could go. Basically it isn't written like a book just summarized. (I needed an ending, so I wouldn't be obsessed with them waiting for chapters lmao)

Chika and Satowa leave sometime at same time a week or so before nationals from grandmas where they all practice. They part and wave, and Chika lags behind thinking about her whatnot. He hears a scream, and it is Satowa in alleyway and some guys late at night trying to take advantage of her.

Now these guys aren't faceless. These are his previous gang members. These are the reflection of who he could of been. Who he was. And confronting his past.

He goes all dark and says get hands off her, and they start poking him around trying to get him to join then and teasing him.

Chika goes crazy/dark and starts beating them. And because there is like 3-5 of them he gets overpowered, and he turns to yell at Satowa to run, and shes completely frozen in fear. That look on her face causes him to shut down. There's blood on his cheeks and dirt on his clothes. In just seconds he's shown the girl hes tried so hard to catch up to so he could stand beside her his "true self".

But Satowa isn't scared because of him. Shes scared for him. The man she loves is being beaten in front of her and there is nothing she can do. She starts screaming help and some night patrol people come to save them or their friends who left little later come.

Then Chika taken to hospital, and it turns out they broke BOTH of his arms. Now there is no way he can go to nationals with them.

He keeps seeing Satowa scared face in his mind, and he vows he can never show her his face again.

Then he hears commotion in hospital, and its the police and his real parents. They've come to get him in a reform school or put him in juvenile detention of some sort or transfer schools. He tells them they abanded him what right do they have to do this, and they like were your legal guardians we have all the rights.

Also Satowa family relatives find out about Chika getting into a horrible fight right in front of her and don't want her around him anymore and believe she's lying about what happened because the police told them he was affiliated with those guys.

Then fast forward the group finds out and all try and visit him but the parents refuse, and his phone was broken when they beat him.

So fast forward some more gang gets a hold his parents and trys to convince them to let Chika stay and Satowa testify the real events that happened and how he saved her from something terrible happening to her.

Have his father be like savoir? Doesn't sound like my son.

Then they all agree together if his parents refuse to let him stay then none of them will play at nationals they will all sit out.

The parents are somewhat moved and agree to go to nationals but only because they want to see if their music really changed Chika.

Then fast forward to nationals, and they still haven't seen Chika even though he's not in hospital. He hasn't returned to school.

Fast forward to day of nationals and Satowa arrives hours early at nationals and still no Chika. She decided to leave them and her cousin girl/family idk relationship drives her or Chika aunt dose, and they rush through traffic.

She arrives at his apartment and hes shocked hes like obviously been crying puffy eyes, and hes like what are you doing here you're going to be late. And she is like I'm not going without you.

And its silent and then shes like I can't play without you Chika. And he's of course you can, and you're better off without me. That man you saw that was the real me. You told me once you were never terrified of me, and yet I saw your face that night. It is engraved into my mind.

And Satowa gets shocked, and says yes I was scared. And his eyes get small. And shes like I was scared of you getting hurt . Horrified. Frozen.

And she starts crying hiccuping and says I was scared that the man I love was going to get killed right in front of me and there was nothing I could do about it.

And his face shows like a thousand cycling emotions. Then he looks super serious grabs her wrist and a bag or keys and runs out the door and shes like wait.(his fingers free from cast)

And hes like yelling there is no time.

And hes like waves down a taxi, and his wrist holding turns to hands and they silent in taxi and he tells rider she has to get to nationals place(wherever thay is).

They make it just in time she only has a few minutes to catch her breath. Chika comes with her backstage and wishes them all luck, and they do the circle thing again and promise Chika even though he's not there with them, he's in their hearts(and some silence happens the whole silent language thing).

They go off and Chika watches.

They give it there all, and they have so many emotions because of everything they've all been through that they capture the hearts of the audience and win. Super dramatic thing Chika parents are shook. Lol.

Fast forward and Chika parents hand him some papers and he's shocked. They are signing him off as an emancipated adult. And they tell the others they managed to change Chika and reach his heart. Something they never managed to do and maybe panel over to Satowa sine they holding hands, and they say how grateful they are to have a woman in his life like her and makes her blush and Chika laughs and is emotional. Maybe mumbles how awkward she is, and she's like shut up. O////O.

Fast forward to graduation for the seniors and the club is going to place at graduation ceremony A lot of the characters they've met playing along the way all come to send the two graduates off part of club.

And everyone happy, Takezo and Hiro end up getting accepted into same university college thingy.

All of them agree to meet once a week or month and play at grandmas for fun even though they start going their own ways.

End with panel the current club arguing over what their goal should be next year, and they make it even larger bigger. Idk all become professional stars lol.

And Chika writes something down on note saying he wants to become to best player he can do he can stand beside Satowa with no regrets and help her make a name(professional) that she can be proud of. Insert some grandpa flashbacks and flashbacks to the seniors and maybe some agureing over who should be the club president and vice president.

Maybe panel a cute date n kiss with both couples somewhere in there. And maybe the teachers get together.
