FUU~ THAT'S SMART!

[fanart] koutarou sibs

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:44:51 GMT

So, I figured, I featured her in one fanfic, and as far as I know she's never been shown, so I tried my hand at drawing Koutarou's older sister.

I place her around 3 years older than Sasaki, but the Japanese educational system eludes me (the Philippine system is just basically 6 years elementary, 4 years high school, 4 years college). So middle schooler Sasaki would have a nee-chan in 1st year high school, I'm guessing.

Um, so there. (Click on it to enlarge) Anime/Manga genetics are very unique, aren't they? And it's amazing how anime/manga characters can maintain the same hairstyle they've had since they were kiddies. And yes, middle schooler Koutarou is wearing a printed violet undershirt, because he *can*.

Anyway, I thought of making her an 80's kid, because, well, I dunno. Koutarou's all 50's, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try a different era. But when I started drawing her, she just ended up becoming 50's herself, I probably was influenced by Grease and Hairspray... I wanted her originally to be cute, but she ended up fierce (I also wanted her to look like Koutarou if ever he were a girl), and so I just went with it and drew a slightly scared middle schooler Koutarou.

So I'm thinking, hell, she pro'lly went to Zokugaku as an old school female yankee/delinquent student, haha, and was Rui and Megu's sempai.

She dotes on her younger brother but thinks he's kinda stupid, and would occasionally enjoy scaring him. She likes Juri as well, but is unimpressed with Akaba (making her probably the 1st female eluding the Akaba charm, gasp). She hasn't been watching Koutarou's games because she thinks it will conflict with her loyalties to Zokugaku, and waits for her to graduate before fully supporting her younger brother's football career.

I was thinking of doing Akaba's younger sister, but Akaba eludes my drawing pen, I just can't get the Es21 art style.

as always, feedback is greatly appreciated.

[FIC] 'combing his depths'

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:51:33 GMT

This isn't really new, and I've posted this on fanfiction.net waaaay before, well, this livejournal account I have, but I thought I might as well offer it to our akakouta community.

This fic contains an unhappy, grumbling, Koutarou, a mysterious and cryptic Akaba, one crazy, bento-making Koutarou-neechan, and Julie at the finish.

A bit of humor, a dash of romance.

Everybody loves Koutarou, right?

Go, go and read it on my journal!

drabble for the picture below -->

IT was lunch at Bando High on a hot day, and Kotaro, upon complementing himself with the usual 'That's so smart of me' for getting himself a nice cold delicious ice-cream, began licking and slurping at the almost melting bundle of sugar in his hands.
Akaba noticed Kotaro enjoying his cone at the corner of his eyes. He paused eating for a moment, "Fuu~ you eat like a child" he simply said.
"So? how else are you supposed to eat an ice-cream?" Kotaro countered
Akaba continued to stare from the corner of his eyes, earning for one single bite of that icy creamy goodness.

Kotaro noticed and interrupted, "WHAT? Quit staring at me! It's NOT SMART!!"
Akaba pointed to the dips of his mouth indicating the mess kotaro had made around his own.

When his signaling did not get through Kotaro's tiny brain Akaba reached over and turned Kotaro's head only to meet with kotaro's lips. From the beginning Akaba's intentions had been on stealing the ice-cream, and this wet dwadling kiss created the perfect opportunity.
"Don't tell me you didn't like it" Akaba interrupted Kotaro's moment of shock.

Kotaro, snapped when he noticed his delicious feast now in Akaba's slender hands.

"THAT'S NOT SMART AKABA! If you wanted the ice-cream I would've have bought you one you idiot!" Kotaro shook his head, disappointed at Akaba's needless act.

"Not one half-eaten by you" Akaba cut-in after swallowing the last bite.

Kotaro's blushed and walked off muttering to himself, as to how 'unsmart' it had been to do that in the school cafeteria. Akaba smiled and returned to his lunch while letting out a "Fuu~"

[fanart] what??

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 12:10:03 GMT

aha, and now, because I just can't help but go there, FANART.

by my very own hands, with my very own sharpie markers.

ah.

I hope you don't mind.

Here's one, where Koutarou looks constipated (but wasn't supposed to) and Akaba's thinking 'fuu~', done on the back of scratch paper with sharpie markers and stamp pads.

version 1 found on my journal.

ah, here's another, a mini-comic about chibi Akaba and his problem of trying to find chibi Koutarou the right gift. The panels were meant to be all wonky, and the student cd mentioned can be found in the manga.

and this one as well, just because. Chibi love. Aishirudo goes Disney. I will burn for this one. (Mizumachi and Kakei cameos as the little mermaid and prince eric, haha.)

ah, and that's it.

i come with an offering of fan fiction...

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:31:20 GMT

hello! i'm new to livejournal and to this community (that goes without saying...)

i'm a fan of this pairing, and so... well, here's a fic i've written, which i also uploaded on fanfiction.net. It has four different pairings, with akaba and koutarou of course. oh, my pen name is 'the butler' by the way.

anyway, here it is...

“Seasons”

Eyeshield 21 fanfiction by the butler

Series of vignettes of four different couples with different seasons. Look out, boylove fluff!

Pretty general, no spoilers.

Disclaimer: the author does not claim any ownership over the characters herein portrayed in fan fiction. Characters belong to the creative universe of Eyeshield 21, which belongs to its author and illustrator.

I. Mizumachi and Kakei- Summer

Kakei pinched the bridge of his nose as he witnessed yet another impromptu Mizumachi strip show.

The blonde boy was presently traumatizing an old lady at the other side of the park lane, who had the luck to have been walking their way the same time that Mizumachi had the bright idea to take of his clothes because, according to him, it was way too hot in the summer. It wasn’t that Kakei didn’t personally feel a secret joy in seeing that much skin from Mizumachi, it was just that the latter was too prone to doing it in public. That was something that grated not only on Kakei’s sense of propriety, but also on his iron hold of his jealousy.

“Mizumachi, please, your clothes.”

“What about them?”

“Put them back on. Now. Before you traumatize anyone else.”

And though Mizumachi pouted at him, Kakei remained implacable in his stand, and so the cheerful boy relented and started looking about the bushes for his hastily discarded clothes. While his companion was doing so Kakei turned to the woman and gave her an apologetic bow. The moment Mizumachi came back fully clothed (or at least as fully clothed as he can be with his usual get-up of tank top and shorts), Kakei started dispassionately scolding him.

“If you could stop taking your clothes off in public Mizumachi it’ll be a great relief to me.”

To which Mizumachi smiled impishly. This should have already warned Kakei.

“Kakei-kun, really, now you’re getting jealous over old women.”

“I… I don’t know what you mean.”

Feeling the heat on his cheeks, though, Kakei was sure he was fooling nobody.

II. Akaba and Koutarou- Fall

“Tch, all these damned leaves falling on my hair, not smart!”

The kicker furiously combed at his hair while evading the gently drifting leaves falling from the trees. The next leaf to fall on his hair, Koutarou swears, will be kicked mercilessly with 100 per cent accuracy.

“Fuu…”

Which was all Koutarou needed to hear, really, to know that Akaba was going to start making fun of him again in that weird music-speech he was prone to using. He turned around to glare at the redhead who had a faint smile on his face as he gripped the strap of the guitar bag on his shoulder.

“Don’t make me want to spit at you man, ‘coz that’s not smart!”

Koutarou warned with such seriousness that Akaba was half tempted to laugh, if it didn’t disrupt his rhythm to do so. He settled with another ‘fuu’ instead. Walking up to the kicker’s side, the redhead picks off a leaf that settled on the formers shoulder. Holding it up by the stem in between their faces, he gave it a little twirl before saying,

“The red leaves fall on you like the gentle strumming of my guitar.”

It took Koutarou five seconds before he sputtered angrily about how stupid Akaba was being again with that stupid music-speech that was totally not smart. The redhead let out another ‘fuu’ as he watched the kicker animatedly vent out his frustration of not understanding Akaba-speech with a wild smattering of ‘smart’ and ‘not smart’. Giving the leaf a fast twirl so that it went floating off into the air, Akaba mused whether he should tell Koutarou what he really meant- that red looks good on Koutarou, like maybe perhaps Akaba- before deciding not to strain the kicker’s brain anymore than it already was.

Walking off, Akaba indulged himself with a real smile as he listened to Koutarou’s further protests of being left behind.

III. Shin and Sakuraba- Winter

There is perhaps no off switch to the athlete known as Shin Seijiro, mused Sakuraba, as he trudged alongside a determined looking Shin in the cold winter morning for their daily jog. Actually it was more of Shin’s daily jog, with Sakuraba joining in every other day. Winter posed no threat to the Ojou line backer, and perhaps Sakuraba shouldn’t have been surprised.

What surprised him though, was when Shin stopped before they even finished their route through the park.

“Uh, what’s up Shin?”

He ventured, not really sure whether he wanted to know what in the world could make Shin stop in his training. The linebacker, however, was too busy fishing around his pockets (first the pants, then the jackets’) to make any sort of reply. Curious, Sakuraba watched until Shin pulled out something white and fluffy and handed it out to him wordlessly. Equally wordlessly, Sakuraba took it and, with some feeling of vague trepidation, unfolded it.

It was a bonnet.

“Er, what?”

To which Shin unerringly shot a hand out towards Sakuraba’s left ear (and for a brief moment the tall teen cringed inwardly at the possibility of being at the receiving end of the dreaded Spear Tackle). Shin’s hand was warm, and Sakuraba couldn’t help but shift his gaze to his feet as the former stared at him with usual intensity.

“You cut your hair. Your ears are pretty cold. Wearing hats trap the heat that leaves through the head.”

And with that, Shin removed his hand from Sakuraba’s ear (which was now red for an altogether different reason), turned and started jogging again. A moment later the former teen idol raised his face, now brightened with a confident smile as he secured his ears inside the bonnet.

Maybe next time he could forget to wear his gloves. He positively blushed at the thought of Shin trying to warm his hands. He shook his head and started jogging, catching up to his companion. Stealing a glance at the linebacker’s face, Sakuraba’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second before resting his glance at the horizon.

He’ll definitely forego the gloves next time they went jogging.

IV. Jyuumonji and Sena- Spring

Everyone was definitely abuzz with some newfound energy as the sakura trees started blooming. And anyone who knew or at least has seen Deimon’s number 51 lineman would know that he is not a romantic at all. Even if only on the surface. So it was with a face of mild annoyance that Jyuumonji tagged along with the rest of the Ha-Ha Brothers (they can never shake off that nickname now, damned demon captain) to the amefuto team’s sakura watching party.

Plopping down on the grass (gods forbid if anyone ever saw any of the three sitting on that blanket with duck patterns) and crossing his arms over his chest, Jyuumonji decided to get it over with and start watching the damned trees, which meant he sat there glaring at the trees. At least Toganou had his manga to hide behind, and Kuroki had no qualms about sleeping just about anywhere. Jyuumonji had nothing to do until Mamori and Suzuna start laying out the food, so he glared at the trees some more, lest any of the others think he wasn’t watching the damn trees.

“Um, Jyuumonji-kun…”

The mere voice made Jyuumonji uncharacteristically blush. Not deigning to turn his head fully to see the boy who sat beside him, he nevertheless grunted as a form of acknowledgement.

“I was thinking… perhaps… we could watch the blossoms together?”

“Huh? We’re already watching them together aren’t we?”

“Um…”

At the embarrassed reply Jyuumonji finally looked at the person sitting next to him, the brown-haired boy known as Eyeshield 21 on the field and was plain Sena to everyone who knew. Sena was furiously blushing and staring at his shoes while fiddling with two bottles in his hand.

“Che, fine, whatever… um. So, one of those for me?”

To which Sena immediately brightened up, and with a smile handed one of the bottled drinks to Jyuumonji. Leaning back, the blonde teen nonchalantly gestured for Sena to scoot nearer to him with a nod of his head, averting his eyes as the smaller boy cheerfully did so.

From their comfortable perch underneath the shade of a sakura tree, Tougano and Kuroki watched their friend with some measure of interest. Pausing from reading, Tougano remarked,

“Oh? Seems like spring’s brought some courage…”

“Huh. Never thought it’ll be the chibi to make the first move though.”

“Yeah. Kazu-chan’s such a shy boy.”

“Hn.”

“Ya owe me three bottles of beer, by the way.”

“Tch! Fuckin’ Kazu-chan…”

And Kuroki turned on his side to try sleeping again, while Tougano returned to his manga.

lastly... yay for this community!

[FIC] Eyeshield 21 - Drabbles - Hair 2/?

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 08:59:40 GMT

Second batch of Drabbles.

This time we have some Shin, with hints of Shin/Sakuraba/Takami, the obligatory Musashi/Hiruma and some Akaba/Koutarou, who are - imho - aboslute love. And I would like to write more about them, just like Mizumachi/Kakei, but I'm still stuck with this other story I'm writing, so there will be none of them... unfortunately. Maybe a few more drabbles now and then...

( Ah, I'm rambling. Please enjoy these drabbles I wrote. :) )

I only want you to notice me! - fic (2/2)

Summary: Where Koutarou tries his best to get Akaba to realise his existence. And where Koutarou dearly regrets it when he succeeds.

I'm really going crazy, Koutarou thought as he unzipped his pants. Koutarou Jr. bobbed its head in agreement.

New to comm, hello! I come with fic, because ohhh, does AkaKou need more love!

What the fuck, Koutarou thought, not understanding a word. But what the hell, since Akaba looked damn hot in the setting sun.

FIC: Not Smart

Oh my gosh. My first contribution. Yay! :D:D

Title: Not Smart
Pairings: Akaba / Koutarou
Disclaimer: I don't own Eyeshield 21.
Summary: It wasn't smart the way Akaba stares at him sometimes, he doesn't like the feeling at all.

Koutarou thinks it's kind of weird; they were hardly into the harder part of the practice but Akaba's already red in the face.

D: I hope I got their characters right...
