Okay so i couldn't find a phone wallpaper generator so all of these are literally screenshots of my own phone lockscreen that i set with these pics that i think the koi kids would use A;SLDKFAJSD Shoutout to @pierrotpriest for sending me down this rabbithole (there are black blanks by some of the wallpapers just so the post isn't so damn long to scroll down with)

Yuiji

I feel like Yuiji's phone gallery is extremely sparse with photos that he actually takes himself + a bunch of photos where hongou and mayu stole his phone and just spammed photos. However, one of the few things that I think he would care about taking pics of is the bb Azuki. This shibe is yuzutheinu on IG.

Yamato

I think Yamato would set an ostensibly generic looking nature photo as his wallpaper. He'd take it at some moment though where he felt calm and save it as his background to hold on some of that calmness. This photo is by Mak on Unsplash

Hongou

Hongou's would OFC be his fav idol LOL Then, once he started officially dating his girlfriend, he'd change it to the whole group in general. This is Shizuku for ME:I who I literally found by trying to research a jpop idol who looked like hongou's gf a;lsdkfja;

Nacchan

Nacchan strikes me as someone who would be into cozy video games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, so I chose a fanart by @chanteii as her wallpaper!

Seki

At first, I considered giving Seki an inspirational photo he took while he was traveling, but then I thought it'd be super funny (and still in character) if he was the kind of person that never customized his phone settings and just uses the default wallpaper ASL;DKFJA

Mayu

I think Mayu's wallpaper while she was dating Yuiji would be a really subtle photo of her friends, and I chose this one by Nico Tsviliov on Unsplash that I thought would be super sweet memory of Mayu posing Yuiji and Hongou's hands in this photo. Then, after they break up, she'd pick just a random pretty nighttime picture she's taken before. The second photo is by Tsuyoshi Kozu on Unsplash.

Sakura

I feel like Sakura would be an indie movie hoe, so his wallpaper is a screencap from Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love.

Chapter 23

sketchy koi things :’’0 and under the cut is a koi doodle i did a whiiiiile back skfkjdsfk

I thought this was such a cute idea. Teru would be so shocked and would legit become so enraptured by it, like, “holy shit, is this what it feels like for you too?”

Enjoy, Anon!

The phrase ‘getting a taste of your own medicine’ had never felt as prevalent as it did that day he walked into class. Terushima hadn’t seen him for a nearly a month - he had gone on vacation somewhere in Europe with his family - and his entire body was vibrating with excitement at being able to hold him again, to kiss him again. And he was instantly to his feet when that boy he had been longing for all this time finally made his appearance in his life again.

Closing the space between them at last, Terushima felt as though he couldn’t get to him soon enough, his grin wide as he enveloped his boyfriend tightly into his arms. No words were exchanged between them as he brought his mouth to slot easily with the familiar one that had been missing too long in his life. The kiss was returned easily, his boyfriend’s hands rising to cup the back of his neck, thumbs brushing against the soft, close cut hair their before deepening the kiss. Tongues slipped past each other, something Terushima didn’t they would do in public but it had been a long time since they had seen each other. He felt it take its familiar course around the cavern of his mouth and it took its time with rolling along the top hard palate where something hard–

Terushima pulled back with surprised eyes, hand shooting to his lips as he stared at the smirking face of his boyfriend. A shudder rolled it’s way down his spine as his brows furrowed, because something was different and he had expected it to be so. Really, the first question out of his mouth should’ve been anything along the lines of ‘how was your trip?’ but he was too confused, too shocked, too… turned on that he breathed the question, “What the fuck was that?”

Without giving a verbal answer, his tongue slipped out of his mouth for Terushima to see as it traveled along his bottom lip with a new silver ball pierced into it. A warmth pulled into his stomach at the sight as he tried to register it - really register it. Because, god, his boyfriend got his tongue pierced and he hadn’t told him. Purposefully didn’t tell him probably to get the very reaction he was receiving based on the smug expression that worked its way over his features. He wanted to say something - anything - but he couldn’t get anything to come out, he had been shocked into silence.

Yuiji

Yuiji feels absolutely chronically offline to me. He constantly forgets to text his friends back and they've learned that they need to call him if they have anything important to say. He made an Instagram account because Hongou and Mayu forced him to follow them back and he's pretty indiscriminate with following classmates back when they ask him to because he doesn't really use the app. When he's waiting for the subway or his friend, he might scroll through recommended reels. Once in a blue moon, he'll post a blurry story of him petting Azuki.

Yamato

Yamato is pretty internet literate when it comes to browser stuff, but he doesn't spend much time on social media. His Instagram has less than 10 pictures on it and they're all from major events like winning the school soccer league or family vacations abroad. 233 accounts follow him and he follows 7. He always texts with perfect grammar and full sentences.

Hongou

Hongou only regularly uses three apps, but he's always signing up for new ones and forgetting his usernames and passwords. He's a huge Twitter user for following idols and is constantly commenting a string of heart emojis when they post selfies. He and Mayu relentlessly send reels to each other and he sends Yuiji silly posts when he's sitting right next to him to see his reaction. Recently, watching Yuiji's reaction to real or cake videos has been his favorite go-to.

Nacchan

Nacchan's not big on social media, but she's very attentive to her messaging apps and never leaves people on-read. Occasionally, she likes trying out baking hacks and aesthetic recipes that come by her feed. Most of her phone time though is spent on webtoon apps and she'll never admit how much money she's spent on unlocking chapters. She also loves customizing her phone's wallpaper and icons into cute themes.

Seki

Seki had a bad middle school phase of being a social media warrior with engaging in fandom fights on reddit and tumblr. Yamato just had to ask him once why he was in such a bad mood at soccer practice, and Seki deleted his accounts immediately. He has a healthy, vanilla relationship with social media now, though TikTok did briefly threaten to pull him to the dark side.

Mayu

Mayu's too easily fed up with stupidity to use social media regularly. She follows news outlets, cute animal content, and likes all the videos that Hongou sends, but she refuses to use any social media app that forces recommend content. If she can't pick and select the specific accounts that she wants to follow, she won't do it. She enjoys longform content the most and will play video essays on random topics or podcasts as background noise.

Sakura

Sakura constantly vagueposts and never replies if his followers or irl acquaintances ask him what's going on. He never posts selfies, but will post an occasional aesthetic picture of him raising his hand into the sun or his shadow on a bridge or some shit like that. He follows dumb accounts specifically to laugh and ridicule them. He never comments, but they frequently anger him and his boss constantly questions if it's healthy. (it's not.)

Akiyama

I've made this headcanon in my sleeping habits post, but I 100% think Akiyama is a doomscroller. Miyano had to force him to delete TikTok when it was first released because Akiyama just couldn't escape. Akiyama schedules MV drops for his favorite artists, follows a few too many twitch streamers, and has a toxic relationship with gatcha games. He wants all the waifus and his RNG is horrible.

Hibino

Yuiji

Yuiji is from a well-to-do family that oversaw an airship trade vessel operation in Piltover. They had minimal influence over politics until Jayce introduced the Hexgates. They gained a ton of power and influence out of nowhere and Yuiji was dragged into the family business with more urgency than ever. Before, he was happy doing mundane inventory counts and maintenance checks on the airships. He detests the politics that he has been suddenly exposed to. He's begun running away from home at inopportune times and maybe wandering a little further than he should be.

Yamato

Yamato was originally from Zaun, but his talent in Joltball found him recruited for a Piltovan league. (Idk, Joltball is soccer in Piltover, but imagine tech footwear and a more dimensional field with obstacles) He's constantly ostracized and isolated by his topsider teammates. He's persisting to bring back money for his folks, and he's just hoping to continue with the sport until he can afford to buy a house for his family in a more affordable neighborhood in Piltover and leave the sports league behind. He finds himself hanging out on rooftops and staring at the airships above for a sense of escape.

Hongou

Hongou's family is a very influential family in the world of politics, but he has so many older siblings, that his role in the family hierarchy is fuzzy and unestablished. He often ditches family functions (without much flack) to attend concerts, art installations, and sports events. He's Yuiji's best friend and he's incredibly good at distracting Yuiji when the young scion is supposed to be conducting an airship inspection or drafting an important letter to a trading competitor.

Nacchan

A young Zaunite tinkerer who is apprenticing under a clockmaker. The business is actually doing fairly well since it has drawn a decent amount of customers from the topside. Growing up, she spent a lot of time with Yamato running through the fissures and climbing into abandoned buildings. She built his earliest sets of Joltcleats and more than a few of them short-circuited and starting sparking when they definitely weren't supposed to. Yamato still visits her to get his pocketwatch tuned up. Nacchan always asks Yamato to bring her back Piltovan pastries back when he visits.

Seki

A Joltball player in the same league as Yamato. He's from a well-off family of architects and Joltball is just a hobby for him. When he's not practicing, he's studying to become a politician. He hopes to get to a point where he can be a policymaker and write laws for the good of Piltover. His initial goal was to focus on housing laws, but meeting Yamato (the first Zaunite he's ever talked to) made him start to think things differently. After matches, he began hounding Yamato to take him to get coffee and get dinner. Yamato initially refused, feeling that he was getting targeted for being a trencher (he was), but eventually relented because Seki was so persistent. They eventually became good friends when they got past their first impressions of one another.

Mayu

A young recruit in the enforcers. She got into the force through sheer display of skill, but her higherups still won't give her any major or dangerous assignments due to her age. She's usually plopped into checking tickets for cable cars and other public transport. Sometimes, she's monitoring security for trading goods. She's always terribly bored and upon meeting Hongou who would chat up a storm during her patrols, she became fast friends with her new source of entertainment. She would also soon befriend the young, drowsy-eyed scion who visited the airships for routine inspections.

Sakura

His parents are Zaunite engineers who moved to Piltover before he was born. His whole life, they've tried to assimilate into Piltovan norms and did everything they could to raise Sakura as the model Piltovan citizen. He's exasperated with his parents' obsession with image, but he loves them otherwise and is happy to take up the family business. He's currently working with them to design Joltball fields and arenas. When Yamato joined the League, Sakura's parents were insistent that Sakura not interact with him, but when Sakura noticed how lonely he was, he couldn't help but approach him.
