Bonus Round 1: Memory

[referees]

Let's start our summer by looking at the past—things that happened in canon, or maybe in an AU, or maybe just as wishful thinking...


This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on June 9 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post! You prompt should consist of one scenario beginning with the phrase "Remember when", along with any ship/ot3/etc. from our list of nominated fandoms.
  • Your prompts can take the form of recalling canon facts/events ("Remember when Nozomi and Eli got parfaits after school?"), non-canon events ("Remember when Megumi and Jin met at the Tadokoro Family Reunion?"), or somewhere in-between ("Remember when Bokuto and Kenma first met?"). Headcanons and AUs are welcome!
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Rei & Nagisa). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Rei/Nagisa). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Post fills by leaving a responding comment to a prompt with your newly-created work.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Prompt: Team Kozume Kenma/Kuroo Tetsurou

Oikawa Tooru/Ushijima Wakatoshi (Haikyuu!!)

remember when Oikawa was making fun of Ushiwaka like a butt but Ushijima wasn't even paying attention because Oikawa looks so pretty when he smiles and laughs??

FILL: Team Iwaizumi Hajime/Oikawa Tooru, G

[sotongsotong]

no tags, 574 words excuse me as I strike while the iron is hot to write the fucking cheesiest ushioi so far in my whole life


The first time Wakatoshi asks Oikawa to go out with him he doesn’t actually envision the boy would agree to it at once.

But he has a niggling suspicion that Oikawa thrives on tripping him up whenever he least expects it, like a kitten jumping onto its owner’s back when they aren’t looking, so he tries to take it all in stride.

(Deep down inside he’s simply thankful he wasn’t born with easy blushes.)

Oikawa shifts impatiently in front of him, so he tries to gather his thoughts again. “Thank you for your consent, Oikawa. It means a lot to me.”

The nose scrunch Oikawa pulls off at that is quite a feat, and his tone is longsuffering when he speaks. “Your way with words is drier than a cicada’s husk in summer, Ushiwaka-chan. As usual.”

Oikawa probably meant to be insulting, but Wakatoshi finds a strange kind of liking towards his analogy. It’s quite poetic, even, if one properly thinks about it.

(Oikawa’s wrinkled nose, however cute it may be, is not a contributing factor. Truly.)

“What? Cat got your tongue now? Or rather, in your case, did a cow chew it off?”

A hand waves wildly into his field of vision, and Wakatoshi snaps out of his staring contest with Oikawa’s nose. “Why a cow?”

The boy lets out an almighty snort at that, reaching out to lightly whack Wakatoshi’s arm. The brief touch leaves a lingering warmth on his skin and his heart stutters for just that one beat. “It’s one of the kanji in your name, you big oaf. Don’t you even remember the readings for your own name?”

“I do.”

Oikawa leans forward to squint up at Wakatoshi so they end up nearly nose-to-nose. Wakatoshi may have flipped through some of the shoujo manga that Tendou laments to him about but he never intended to relive a scene straight out of one. The way they’re facing each other now, along with how close his mouth is to Oikawa’s— it isn’t very likely but Wakatoshi will not be surprised if rose blossoms and rainbow streaks start randomly falling from the sky. Stranger things have happened, anyway.

(Like how alive Oikawa’s scorching jump serves makes him feel on the court.)

Wakatoshi clears his throat. “Is there something wrong?”

A wicked grin pulls at Oikawa’s lips. “Yes, everything’s wrong about your face, Ushiwaka-chan. Your eyebrows are caterpillars, your jaw’s as broad as Iwa-chan’s spike, and your resting bitch face is no better than a pug’s. What do you have to say about that, huh~?”

“Nothing. You’ve consented to dating me, and that’s what matters the most.”

The disgust on Oikawa’s face is as real as it gets and the worst thing about it is Wakatoshi’s enamoured by the grimace and the glare.

And if Lady Luck hadn’t already graced him with more than enough, Oikawa starts cracking into little snuffles of laughter, and Wakatoshi is as good as gone.

“Seriously, Ushiwaka-chan. You’re terrible. People usually use the word “consent” for far more serious stuff yet here you are throwing it about like you’re in court.” The boy that Wakatoshi likes shuffles closer to loop an arm around one of his own.

He doesn’t really have anything else to lose, does he?

“But I am in court. Courting you, that is.”

Oikawa promptly lets go of him.

”Why the fuck are you like this.”


(Wakatoshi finds Oikawa’s stink eye beautiful all the same.)

I LOVE THIS???? They're so cute, Ushijima is so dry on the outside, and yet he's melting inwardly, and Oikawa doesn't have a clue. Gosh. Too freaking cute.

THIS IS ADORABLE, i showed it to one of my hardcore ushioi friends who died over it a little, we both agree Ushi has the perfect "confused but incredibly charmed" & "i think i might have just got insulted but i can't really care/can't pay enough attention to know for sure because Oh No he's cute" look, thank you for drawing this :]
