    Summary

    Post Ichidai game - As Sawamura begins to thrive and show himself to be a reliable candidate for the ace, Kuramochi begins to notice how poorly their captain is coming to terms with the fact that the pitcher who once relied on him no longer needs him.

    Misawa but Miyuki is spiraling about not being able to catch for Sawamura while he's achieving success after success

    Mostly canon compliant but essentially takes place 'behind the scenes' of the main plot

    Summary

    It was unexpected when Miyuki had gotten hurt during their match with Seiko. The catcher kept playing like nobody’s business and unsurprisingly, Miyuki had been on strict orders to rest for their next game, limited to play with just 60% of his abilities in their next match at Koshein in five days.

    But what really caught everyone off guard was Sawamura. He'd come up with a plan—one that was surprisingly clever, even by their coach’s standards. Of course, it also meant piling a mountain of pressure onto himself and declaring a war against his own stamina. Not that he minded. If Miyuki couldn’t carry the team this time, then Eijun would. That’s what a battery does, right?

    If only things hadn’t taken an unexpected turn in the middle of the game—one that put Sawamura right in the center of it all.

    ---

    In which- Eijun keeps doing the unexpected and it only makes the team more and more surpised, and it makes Miyuki Kazuya only fall harder and harder.

    Summary

    It didn’t happen with fireworks and explosions, it wasn’t a full body shudder or a heart-stopping revelation, it wasn’t in the middle of something special, it wasn’t the victory at Kōshien, it wasn’t graduation day, it wasn’t a breakdown.
    There was a lot of thing it wasn’t.
    Because every moment until now had carried some part of it.
    Kazuya had known it was happening, he had felt it coming, from so long ago. He had done nothing to stop it. He had let the strangeness invade his body until it became familiar, until it was such a part of him it felt like another organ, living and pulsing, getting fed by his blood and breath. He had carried while it was warm and calm, when it became burning and agitated, while it helped him breath and when it crushed his lunges.
    Putting words on something that had been on the back of his mind, on the tip of his tongue so long changed nothing.
    Eijun handed him a can of Pocari Sweat and grinned at him. Sun catching on the tip of his hair, caressing the width of his shoulder. All gold and tan and freckles.
    He took it –like he took everything Eijun would ever give him– and smiled back.
    I love you.

    Summary

    Sawamura Eijun is getting popular. Like, annoyingly popular.

    It shouldn’t bother Miyuki. Statistically speaking, this is normal. Expected. Fine.

    What’s not fine is how much he cares.

    He's just observing.
    (And spiraling. A little.)

    (or)

    5 times Miyuki observed like a “responsible teammate,” and 1 time he got tired of trying to be sane about it.
