#all for the game – @1200flowers on Tumblr

thinking abt this post (PJO AU), except riko is the son of nike. riko, assured and steeped in victory all his life. of course he draws a one on his face every morning. maybe kevin is the son of exy, but riko has had victory in his blood from birth.

until he doesn’t, anymore. riko doesn’t win. not only has kevin won, he’s been winning this whole time, just holding himself back so it wouldn’t be too obvious. how long does it take for riko to think his mother has forsaken him? how long before he spirals? his father never cared about him, and that hurt enough—but he didn’t care if he was second to ichirou if he was winning on the court. it doesn’t matter to him the same way victory does, something he thought he would always have, something that was a part of him for so long, and yet he didn’t even realize when it slipped away. now he’s been abandoned by his father and his mother and when kevin leaves, too, he’ll be completely alone, completely worthless, completely forsaken.

jean moreau is nineteen. he is nineteen. he is just a boy he is hardly alive!! imagine you’re an exy coach for USC and this nineteen year old boy hands you his racket and practically asks you to beat him with it. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you’ve been waterboarded ten times and made to break three of your own fingers and tortured so extensively for the past five years of your life that you’re begging others to let you die. imagine you’re kevin day and you have to make this nineteen year old boy promise that he won’t kill himself. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you’ve just learned your sister is dead and you’ve destroyed and betrayed yourself and it was all for nothing. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you kill yourself in every universe but this one.

the sunshine court spoilers here but:

I’m sorry I cannot stop thinking about “Now I am not safe with you, captain.” I just. Jean felt safe enough with Jeremy to tell him he felt unsafe in that scenario, trusting that Jeremy wouldn’t take advantage of or ignore his fear, trusting that Jeremy would respect his boundaries. Do you think Jean has ever exercised a boundary in the past three years? I don’t think so. I think that every time he tried at first, Riko would use that knowledge to hurt him even more, to deliberately cross them. I think that the boy who expects everyone to hurt him, the boy who says “Contrition, coach,” the boy who insisted he could swim while having a panic attack next to the pool—I think that boy tries so hard not to have boundaries because it’s safer that way. Because no one can exploit them if they don’t know what they are.

But he lets Jeremy know.
