Model Athletes, by peroxidepest17 (PG13)
*waves* Hi! I'll be rec'ing fics from the manga series Eyeshield 21 this month. ES21 has a huge cast of characters, and unfortunately I'm not up to the task of doing them all justice. So instead of a fandom overview, I'll point you in the direction of ES21's wiki article; checking out the article on the Deimon Devil Bats would be especially helpful for anyone at a loss, or looking for more info.
Fandom: EYESHIELD 21
Pairing: Jyuumonji, Kuroki, Togano
Length: One-shot

Why this must be read:
The Hah Brothers start off as thugs and bullies, blackmailed into playing for the Deimon Devil Bats. They grow up as the series goes along, and learn to love American football, and care for their teammates. There are a few bumps along the way, as this fic demonstrates with wonderful humour.
The Hah Brothers are tired of being viewed as respectable members of the community because of their time with the Devil Bats, and set out to prove that they're still badass thugs.
Of course, things don't go as smoothly as expected.

- But as far as Jyuumonji and company are concerned, the whole thing is very detrimental to their carefully cultivated reputations as high school delinquents.
“A teacher smiled at me yesterday,” Kuroki grunts, and looks disgusted as he pokes at his first bento; it has a smiley face drawn in mayonnaise on it.
“My grades are average,” Togano adds sadly.
Jyuumonji mutters in complete understanding, “Yesterday some kid asked me to help her get her kitten out of a tree.”
A pause.
“Huh?”
“Huh?!”
Jyuumonji glares. “She said her brother goes to our school and takes her to all the games, okay?! Gimme a break.”
A pointed look.
Then, a sigh. “Yeah, I got the stupid cat out of the stupid tree.”
Kuroki and Togano make appropriately manly noises of sympathy when they hear this.
