And. I love it? Like? A lot a lot??

I swear, sports-anime are just my weakness. I love that team-feeling and the fact that there’s just... never romance in them. Like, sports-anime are about the only damn anime where female characters are allowed to just be... characters? Teammates and friends. Granted, there’s about one female in every sports-anime, but oh well.

I also really-really like the main character. Takeru is a lot like the protagonist from Free!. I mean, not just because of the black hair and exact same hair-cut and blue eyes, but Haruka and Takeru share that same stoic, single-minded focus and that desire to just jump right in and do more of the sports.

But damn do I also already have ship feels. (I’m three episodes in...)

I mean, TakeRiku is like the obvious one. Takeru literally carries the blonde into the club-room like “This one is mine now”. The two have a great dynamic. I’m normally never one to ship the “obvious” one, aka the protagonist and his partner (like Kuroko no Basuke’s Tetsu and Kagami or Haikyuu!!‘s Kageyama and Shouyou just never really swung for me). But I feel like I could make an exception to that rule for Riku and Takeru.

Though, legit the strongest ship-feels so far are Reiji and Takeru.

Literally from the moment they first laid eyes on each other.

To the first tentative touch of hands, which is literally such a fanfiction cliche but sue me.

And then that damn parting line. Like, really? Takeru made your heart flutter, Reiji? Please, tell me more.

Yeah no, I am 100% sailing TakeRei. Definitely. Really cute.

Not only did Reiji buy Takeru a shirt.

No. He bought them both matching shirts.

And look at Takeru’s surprised face morphing into that cute little smile.

They even casually share food.

I love them so much.

Well I feel like Reiji is the kind of person who can convince people to do some really stupid stuff with a bat of his eyes, so pretty much the entire family finds out when Tobio catches Reiji and Takeru making out and Haru chews them out loud enough for all of Tokyo to hear and so long their dad had enough time to drop two more kids on the doorstep

Reiji is sat down by every member of Honan separately and threatened seven different ways from Sunday. 

Whenever Reiji and Takeru go on dates one of Takeru’s sibs follows them and either Takeru doesn’t notice or doesn’t say anything but they always glare daggers at Reiji and he’s really getting tired of this shit

Comparatively Honan is pretty tame. While Takeru’s family is still divided over Reiji, Honan has decided that the best thing to do is make sure the couple is safe. The most entertaining effort was a shoebox full of flavoured condoms from Hozumi and Heath.

a) they have three children

b) Reiji is shit with kids, Takeru has eighteen sibs who are mostly married with children and thus has had so. much. practice.

Kiyoshi (male alpha, eldest) is a mini Takeru who acts like Takeru

Iruka (male omega) is a mini Reiji who acts like Takeru

Okay but Shizuma would be so involved in the whole pregnancy??? I swear this boy has more maternal instincts than most omegas.

Reiji doesn’t go into labor on his due date. His oh-shit-these-are-the-real-deal contractions don’t start until a full week after.

Takeru’s not at home. He was dragged out by his sibs or something to relieve some stress. Reiji’s only company is Shizuma.

Reiji is convinced that he’s only having braxton-hicks contractions. Shizuma insists otherwise.

Shizuma’s right. Reiji’s water breaks and yet he still refuses to go to the hospital yet.

Reiji like ‘gdi Shizu shut up they’re not that bad- FUCK’

Takeru comes home to Shizuma trying to calm Reiji down because you know that Reiji’s panicking by now

They go to the hospital. The labor is eighteen hours long 

Takeru end up getting kicked out (some hospitals have a policy of ‘no expecting alpha fathers allowed in the delivery room’ after too many incidents involving doctors ending up with broken noses).

Shizuma holds Reiji’s hand the entire time.

YOU CAN BET YOUR SORRY ASS SHIZUMA’S THE GODFATHER

Nana’s the godmother because she’s an absolute angel.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I have more of these in reserve

Reiji absolutely hates being in heat. He’s an extremely independent individual, and during his heat he’s surprisingly aware but having almost no control. He describes it as watching a movie that someone else put in and then took away the remote. Taking away his control like that makes Reiji angry like nothing else.

Takeru doesn’t take advantage of this not-in-control Reiji. He knows that if he did, Reiji would never forgive him once the heat was over.
