sportsanime | Bonus Round 2: Images

Back by popular demand, this round uses official canon artwork as fodder for speculation and extrapolation.
Please read the rules carefully before posting!

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on June 23 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

Submit prompts in the form of a canon screencap from one of our nominated fandoms along with a ship. Screencaps can be from the anime or manga, as well as any other kind of offshoot media, e.g. official art, drama CD covers, light novel illustrations, magazine covers, photos from stage plays, and/or caps from games.
- Doujinshi, fan-made games or any other fan-created work should not be prompted, even if you receive permission. Only prompt official, canon artwork.
- Keep your prompt concise. Don't prompt a whole manga chapter, for example.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Abe & Tajima). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Abe/Tajima). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Upload the cap somewhere (imgur works well) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them. Including a text-only summary of the image is encouraged.
Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work inspired by the cap.
- Fills can be directly connected to the cap, e.g. panel redraws or writing fic that fleshes out the moment that was capped or that fleshes out what happened directly before/after, but fills can also be more indirectly linked. As long as the work is somehow inspired by the cap, it counts.
- Fills that are too long to fit in a single comment should have the rest of the fill placed as replies to the original fill comment. The subjects of these extra comments should be something like "part 2 of X" or "continued."
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Manami Sangaku & Miyahara, Yowamushi Pedal

Manami & Miyahara, 511 words, G, no tags

The first and only time Miyahara takes Manami on a bike ride, they make it halfway up the hill before Manami collapsed on scraped knees. Yet, when Manami looked at her with those wide, exhilarated eyes and said, "I can do it", Miyahara had believed him. In return, she had helped him up and watched him finish his climb.

Looking back, that experience had cemented the rest of their interactions into a familiar pattern.

Miyahara spends her school years listening for the telltale squeak of Manami's tires against the pavement, waiting for him to come copy her homework after long rides. The mountains of Hakone loom in the distance as a reminder that Miyahara can never truly surmount Manami's first and only love. She reminds him on a daily basis to stop skipping class and work harder. When Manami tells her he’s putting his all into biking, Miyahara believes it.

So it's silly, Miyahara thinks, for her to expect anything during graduation. Especially after Manami has spent the last few years accepting her mandatory chocolates during Valentine's day and presents during Christmas with a "thanks, Inchou," like he never saw anything in her beyond her class title.

Yet, Manami finds her after the graduation ceremony as family and classmates loiter around the school gates. He's still clad in riding clothes, and Miyahara doesn't even point out his obvious absence at the ceremony. Manami dodges well-intended congratulations from Miyahara's family and calls her to the side, where students linger.

"What do you need?" Miyahara asks, for the distance between London and Hakone are much wider than the space bridging the balconies of their childhood homes. "I have no more homework for you to copy, Sangaku-kun."

Manami gives her a sheepish look. "I know. I'll miss you when you're abroad. We never really got to race again. I'll never be able to defeat you."

The fact that he's still holding onto this sentiment makes her laugh. "That's really a shame," she agrees.

"I got this for you," Manami says and pulls something from the back pockets of his jersey. It's rusty and small, the curves distinguishable but rough.

She frowns at him. "A bike bell?"

"It's the bell from my first bike." He grins and folds it into her hands. "I want you to keep it."

Miyahara has no clue what this means. Her sense of humor fails at the best of times as she suggests, awkwardly, "You're supposed to give buttons to girls, Sangaku-kun."

"Ah, really?" Manami scratches the back of his head. "This is the only thing I had. I hope you'll accept it."

Miyahara looks down at the rusty bike bell. "What is it?"

"A promise," Manami says happily, and Miyahara believes him.

Years later, Miyahara takes a train to Paris after Manami wins the King of the Mountain title at the Tour de France. She returns the bike bell and tells him, "I'm here to cash in on your promise, Sangaku-kun."

"I've been waiting for you." Manami beams.

Miyahara takes a hold of his hands and says, "I believe it."
