Blood and injury, vengeful kids in love, underage (no sex, but they’re 12 and 13 here).
***
When it happens, Hanamiya doesn’t think ‘I’m in love’ or ‘oh, that’s why I’ve been watching him’. He thinks instead, ‘I’m going to kill him’.
It happens during a match against a rival school - a player jostles Imayoshi, charges him hard enough to knock Imayoshi down and Hanamiya doesn’t look at Imayoshi. He looks at the player who hit him, fixes the 2 in his mind and promises himself to see the boy buried in that jersey.
Anger cracks across his mind sharp as a whip, a streak of red behind his eyes. Nothing but blood will satisfy Hanamiya; he waits for when the boy is blocked from sight, unintentionally screened by his own team, and sends him flying with a hard elbow to the head in the middle of a jump for a rebound. The boy’s head hits the floor and blood pools on the court quickly but Hanamiya isn’t satisfied.
Not until he looks up and sees Imayoshi’s face, not until he thinks fiercely, savagely, I avenged you and remembers Imayoshi had said not to cause trouble anymore.
He did this for Imayoshi but Imayoshi won’t appreciate it. That doesn’t matter. Imayoshi is his. Nobody’s allowed to hurt him.
...This is protectiveness, this desire to keep Imayoshi safe from harm, and Hanamiya has never felt the desire to protect anyone before. How has Imayoshi infected him with this?
Hanamiya’s going to kill him for it!
Hanamiya’s twelve years old, Hanamiya’s in love, and Hanamiya’s angry about it.

When it happens, Imayoshi doesn’t think ‘I’m in love’ or ‘oh, that’s why I’ve been watching him’. He thinks instead, ‘I’m going to kill him’.
He told Hanamiya not to play rough. He told Hanamiya that he might get caught or at the very least, might draw suspicion upon their team. And what does Hanamiya do? He goes and elbows a boy in the head so hard that he’s unconscious even before his head cracks against the ground!
There’s blood puddling around the boy’s head but head wounds bleed a lot. Surely it isn’t too bad an injury. Imayoshi’s already putting on an expression of grieved sympathy and moving forwards, clearing people away from the unconscious player.
He doesn’t remember that this massive fourteen-year-old was the one that knocked him down at first. The game’s been too chaotic for him to pay any attention to that.
It’s the look on Hanamiya’s face, the mixture of pride and chagrin as he watches Hanamiya like a French aristocrat waiting for the guillotine’s fall, that clues Imayoshi in.
Hanamiya’s behaved at all their other games, using his skill at passing and shooting to win instead of crippling their opponents. For Hanamiya to deviate from routine and risk getting kicked off the team…
I did it for you, Hanamiya’s eyes silently say. The proud tilt of his chin expresses that even if he gets scolded, he won’t be sorry.
Something in Imayoshi’s chest twists uncomfortably and he knows he’s done for.
Nobody else has ever defended him or his honor. Nobody else has ever felt they needed to.
Stupid kid. Stupid, vengeful, brilliant kid.
Imayoshi’s going to have to talk to him about it.
Imayoshi’s thirteen years old, Imayoshi’s in love and Imayoshi’s destroyed by it.
