Today’s the day! It’s Anzai sensei’s birthday and the Shohoku basketball team has decided to plan a surprise party for him! Many preparations were made in hopes of impressing the coach! Everyone seemed to be quite anxious if the surprise will be a success, especially Mitsui! “Dang it, I really hope I don’t screw this up for Anzai sensei! Today’s a special day and everything needs to be perfect!” Mitsui thought to himself. Anzai sensei has always been Mitsui’s mentor and someone he looked up to, and so he thought that the best way to repay him would be to plan the best party for Anzai sensei! “Alright guys! Let’s get to work! Everyone knows what their job is so let’s start setting everything up!” Ayako announced to the team.
Kogure, Yasuda, Shiozaki, Kakuta, and the rest were in charge of setting up the decorations all around the school gym. “How do these streamers look, Kogure?” Yasuda asked. “They look great Yasuda, but maybe try putting them a little higher!” Kogure said.
While the decorations were being set up, Mitsui and Miyagi both went out to pick up the food they had ordered for the party beforehand! “Here’s your pizza order! Have a nice day!” the cashier said as she handed Miyagi two large pizza boxes and Mitsui two large bottles of soda. “AAAGHH!! It’s hot!” Miyagi yelled as Mitsui laughed hysterically at him. “HEY! It’s not funny Mitsui! Why don’t you stop laughing like an idiot and help me out here?!” Miyagi said. “Laughing like a- WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!” Mitsui shouted with anger. Although Mitsui and Miyagi did have some bad blood in the past, they’ve become really good friends! But that isn’t to say they never argue sometimes (even though Anzai sensei has told them not to fight anymore).
“Um excuse me! Please don’t argue with one another! There are other customers here trying to enjoy their food in peace!” The cashier said, pointing her finger to the customers staring at both Mitsui and Miyagi in shock. “Oh- Right sorry about that! We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen again! Heheh” Miyagi said, his hand rubbing the back of his neck, embarrassed. “Hey Miyagi! Let’s get out of here before the pizza gets cold!” Mitsui said. And so the both of them had left the pizza shop and were on their way back to Shohoku HS. While Mitsui and Miyagi were on their way with the food, Akagi and Sakuragi were in charge of setting up all the tables, chairs, and cutlery!
“Alright Sakuragi! Listen up! Today’s a very important day, we have to make sure everything goes according to plan! I don’t wanna see you fooling around! Got it?!” Akagi said trying to get Sakuragi’s attention but he was too busy eyeing Rukawa and him setting up the audio system for the music that will be playing at the party. Rukawa always seemed to be listening to music on his Walkman, so it was only natural that the team chose him as the DJ for the night. “ URRGHH!! Look at that sly fox Rukawa setting up the speakers! Why does HE get to be the DJ?! Everyone knows I have the best taste in music! What does Rukawa have up against me?! Nothing!! Absolutely nothi-“ *BONK* Akagi gave Sakuragi’s head a big knock to get attention. “OWW GORI WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!” Sakuragi said as he rubbed the top of his head in pain. “YOU IDIOT!! Why don’t you ever pay attention for once!? That’s it! You’re no help Sakuragi! Go sit on the bench and wait till we’re done setting everything up!” Akagi said, fed up with Sakuragi and his antics.
“HMFP! Fine then! You guys will regret getting help from a genius like me!” Sakuragi said, walking towards the bench and sitting down with his arms crossed.
Not long after, Mitsui and Miyagi arrived with the food, as well as some party snacks! “Hey guys! We brought the food!” Mitsui said as the two of them placed everything on one of the tables Akagi set up. “Thanks you two! You’ve helped out a lot! Unlike some idiots” Akagi said looking towards Sakuragi sitting on the bench with an annoyed look on his face. “URGHHH Rukawa!!” Sakuragi said to himself as he continued to give Rukawa his deathly stare. “Hmfp..Dou-ahou!” Rukawa muttered with a neutral expression.
It has only been an hour, but suddenly the team heard a loud knock on the gymnasium door. “Oh no! Is that Anzai sensei? But we’re not ready yet!” Kogure said worryingly. Ayako looked down at her stopwatch to check the time. “Oh it must be the cake! I asked them to come drop it off here since we wouldn’t have time to go to the bakery to pick it up!” Ayako said as she walked to open the door. “Thank you so much! Have a nice day!” Ayako said as she received the cake from one of the bakers on delivery duty. The cake had 2 tiers and seemed quite heavy. Miyagi being the gentleman he is, offered Ayako some help. “A- Aya-chan, do you need some help with that?” Miyagi said, his face flushed with red. “No thanks Miyagi! I got it!” Ayako said as she carefully placed the cake on the table next to the food.
Exactly 2 hours had passed by and it was finally time to bring in Anzai sensei for his surprise! “Alright guys! Everyone get your confetti canons!” Ayako announced, handing all the players one confetti canon. Akagi made sure all the lights were off so it seemed like nobody was in the gym, and everyone either stood against the wall or behind the tables to hide. *knock* *knock* *knock* “It’s Anzai sensei! Everyone get ready!” Kogure whispered to everyone. It was at that moment that Anzai sensei had entered the gym and the team jumped up from their hiding spots and popped their confetti canons! “SURPRISE!! Happy Birthday Anzai sensei!!” everyone shouted in sync. “Ho Ho Ho! What a nice surprise!” Anzai said as he laughed with joy. “Happy birthday old man! Don’t eat too much today or-” Sakuragi said, patting Anzai sensei’s stomach before getting interrupted by the wack of Ayako’s fan. “OWW!” Sakuragi whined.
The party was an absolute blast! There was music, food, and party games! Everyone had a great time, especially Anzai sensei! He never expected his students to plan such an amazing and organized party for him! It was definitely a memory that the Shohoku basketball team will never forget!
[This amazing idea was inspired by the amazing dream of @ruki-nozaka. Thanks for sharing it with us. Hope you enjoy this headcanons, darling]
You’ve been dating him for 4 months
Sakuragi wanted to be presented 3 days after you two started dating so he could ask your hand in marriage to you father
Sakuragi no
You finally gave in and decided to present him to your parents
But you are sincerily worried
Sakuragi’s gang making bets on how long it’s going to take to your father kick Sakuragi out of your house
Mito: 15 min, Noma: 8 min, Ohkusu: 1min34s, Takamiya: He bets Sakuragi won’t even enter your house
Obviously you won’t let them laugh at your boyfriend. You bet everything it’s going to be okay.
The day comes and Sakuragi is wearing his best clothes. His pompadour is flawless.
But obviously that, when you come in with him, the only thing your parents can think about is:
RED. POMPADOUR.
Sakuragi, don’t you dare talk about marriage
Your mom looks nervously to your father each 5 seconds. She tries to act normal but nothing is normal in that situation
Your father is almost breaking the cup in his hand, and you can’t say if it’s because of nervousness or anger
Sakuragi is super serious. He is sitting on the couch kindda hunched because he’s so big for it. His hands are on his knees. He’s even kindda away from you.
“y/f/n-san, y/m/n-san… I really love your daughter. She’s the most precious girl I’ve ever met. She’ s a princess, and I wanted to have the your blessing to have the honour to be at her side.”
You’re speechless
SPEECH. LESS.
“I swear for my life I won’t disrespect her in any kind of way and I’ll protect her with my life.”
Sa-sakuragi-kun…
He’s super serious. You can’t even recognize him
Your parents are like
Flabbergasted
Slowly, your father gets up and walks to Sakuragi. He puts his hand on Sakuragi’s shoulder and, for everybody’s surprise, he’s crying.
“Son, I’m counting on you”
You won 20 bucks and it’s spending it on a date with Sakuragi.
“This is not fair” - Takamiya
Mito is just laughing while you pick you money and than holds Sakuragi’s arm.
