sportsanime | Bonus Round 1: Memory

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.

i rated this T because there's naked-in-the-shower-ness in this but it doesn't get sexual. no archive warnings apply. word count: 643

"Hey, hey, hey! Kuroo, look how sunny it is this morning! We can go for a run later through the park if you want, or maybe get together a game of volleyball at the park's sand court! It's so nice it'd be such a shame to let it go to wa-"

"Bokuto, I love you, but I'm going to need you to shut up until I consume at least three cups of coffee."

Bokuto is taken aback by the harsh words, despite the teasing tone of his boyfriend's voice. He deflates instantly and eats his toast disinterestedly. If Kuroo notices he doesn't say anything, just sips at his black coffee while looking at the sports' section of the paper. Bokuto opens his mouth a few times and instantly shuts it each time, not knowing what to say.

A few minutes later Bokuto dumps at least half his toast in the trash and goes to the bathroom, turning on the shower. He gets in and lets the water run over him, rubbing at his face a bit. He'd only been living with Kuroo for about a week, after dating for a year and a half. Bokuto knew he didn't know much about Kuroo's morning habits, even when he stayed over before one of them was usually gone in the morning. He knew Kuroo wasn't a morning person, sure, but he didn't think that would happen.

He resolves to mope around and not talk to Kuroo for the rest of the day, give him the space he clearly wants because obviously he didn't want to be around Bokuto and moving in was a big mistake and soon Kuroo would realize how overwhelming Bokuto was and how needy and high maintenance he was and then he would leave him. So Bokuto will stay away.

He finalizes this in his mind when there’s a knock at the door. "Hey, Bo? Can I come in?"

Bokuto rubs at his eyes to get rid of the tears that had silently bloomed there. "If you want to, I guess."

Kuroo opens the bathroom door carefully, and a few moments later he's in there, in the shower with Bokuto.

"Hey." Kuroo's shoulders are a little sagged, and Bokuto can see something in his eyes, but he can't make it out. Fear clenches his gut- maybe Kuroo figured it out already, maybe he knew how needy Bokuto was and was going to break up with him.

"Hi." Bokuto chokes out.

"I'm so sorry, Bo," Kuroo steps closer, hands fluttering around Bokuto's arms and sides, unsure if it's alright to touch him. He finally settles on wrapping his arms around his waist. "What I said earlier was rude. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know I did and I feel terribly about it."

Bokuto shakes his head. "No, I was being overbearing, I'm sorry."

Kuroo snorts. "Don't you dare. You weren't being overbearing, you were excited. There's nothing wrong with that- I love when you're excited. I was being an ass, there's no excuse for it. Will you forgive me? Please? Even if I need a drip IV of caffeine in me, I promise I'll never snap at you like that for just being your wonderful self in the morning."

Bokuto laughs a little at that and puts his hands on Kuroo's shoulders. "Alright, alright. I forgive you."

"Thank you," Kuroo is looking at him with pure affection and moves one of his hands to tuck a strand of silver hair behind his boyfriend's ear. "So, would you be up to still having a game of volleyball at the park? We could call Kenma, Akaashi, maybe even Hinata."

"I love Kenma, Akaashi, and Kenma!" Bokuto's eyes light up and Kuroo chuckles at that. "And I love you!"

"I love you too." Kuroo smiles and kisses his boyfriend softly. This would work.

Awwww, poor Bo. I can 100% empathize with Kuroo. I loved the shower snuggles and working things out. Totally adorable. <3

thank you!!!! i loved the prompt so much but i was so worried about messing it up that i didn't post it for like two days so i'm so happy you liked it :'D

awwww sweeeet, so cute.

ahhh thank you so much!!!

What the heck, I missed this the first time around, this is adorable and your Bokuto is so in-character, well done.

E: I did a remix, hope it's okay!
