Bonus Round 2: Images
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.

(yo, coming at you with another fill because these two deserve the love and also writing them agreed with me)

“Jou, Jou!”
Tetsuma turns to look, and Shien is running towards Tetsuma and his father with a bright and shiny new ball in his hands. “Jou, come play with me!”
Tetsuma turns to his father, who is busy washing the Mushanokoji car. His father nods at him, and so Tetsuma stands and brushes off his shorts carefully. He’s walks a few steps to meet Shien, and Shien grabs his hand to drag him a farther away from the car. “I wouldn’t want to mess up your father’s hard work,” he murmurs at Tetsuma’s questioning look.
Shien drops his hand and runs a few feet farther away. He drops the ball and kicks it to Jou, who waits until it bumps against his feet.
“Kick it back Jou, come on!”
Tetsuma winds back a foot and kicks, watching the ball as it rolls a few feet to Shien’s right. Shien runs to stop it, then quickly kicks it back. He calls “Oh whoops!” as it also rolls just slightly to the side. Tetsuma knows that Shien did that on purpose, because even as young as they are he’s already showing signs of impeccable aim, clearly inherited from his father.
Tetsuma watches the ball roll to a stop a few feet away. “Jou, toss it back!”
Tetsuma obediently trots to collect the ball.
*
“Hey Jou, come look at this!”
Tetsuma trots to the open window of Shien’s room. He had been hovering in the bushes outside ever since he spotted his father returning the the family car to the garage. It was always only be a matter of time before Shien escaped from from his father’s watchful gaze and came looking for Tetsuma to tell him how the day went.
Recently Shien’s father had been hinting that he disapproved of his son being friends with “the help” but there wasn’t anyone else remotely close to his son’s age living at the house he could offer as a replacement. So Shien had started spending as much time as he could in his room “studying” while he and Tetsuma chatted through the window. His father either ignored or didn’t care about those interactions--as long as Tetsuma wasn’t in the house and Shien wasn’t ruining his clothes playing lower class sports.
“Catch!” Shien calls, and then something brown is wobbling through the air towards him. Tetsuma obediently catches it and examines it as he trots back. It’s brown, oblong and pointed? at both ends. There are four seams and one is covered part way by a neat row of white stitching. Tetsuma hands it back to Shien, who takes it out of his hands and starts tossing it to himself.
Up. Down.
Up. Down.
“There was a game playing on the practice field today, the one next to the shooting range. I snuck off to watch them while father was talking to someone-or-other. I think they called it amu-ama...amefuto? It looked tough, but fun. And they play it with big teams and lots of players!” Shien tosses the ball to Tetsuma again, and Tetsuma lets it bump off his chest and fall to the ground. It bounces away on an irregular path, dictated by its irregular shape.
“You’re supposed to catch it Jou!”
Tetsuma trots off to collect the ball, bringing it back to Shien without a word.
Shien tosses it to himself again. “They had to throw the ball and have someone who was running catch it, while other people were trying to knock them down.” Shien looked up at Tetsuma. “It looked like a lot of fun. More fun than shooting a gun at a still target.” Shien looks down at the ball and frowns.
Tetsuma snorts, making Shien look up again. He holds up his hands.
Shien nods slowly. “Okay, Tetsuma you start running and I’ll try to throw it for you.”
Tetsuma turns and runs. He has to look over his shoulder to watch Shien and the toss. The brown ball wobbles when he throws it, and Tetsuma has to dive across the grass to catch it on the tips of his fingers--but he does catch it. When he pushes off the ground and turns around, ball clutched to his chest, Shien is smiling at him.
*
Shien’s father is away on the business trip and his mother away for the week with her socialite friends, so Shien and Tetsuma are playing toss on the lawn.
They’re practicing the new pass routes that Shien read about while he was at school. With each toss Shien’s passes get sharper, Tetsuma’s catches more steady.
Shien has been trying to increase the speed of his throws and so Tetsuma has been working on his sprints, getting faster so he can catch every pass.
After his latest catch Tetsuma brings the ball back. Shien takes it but doesn’t wind up to throw again.
“I like this, Tetsuma.”
Tetsuma straightens up from his runners crouch, tilts his head slightly in question.
Shien smiles. “It’s fun, and I can put the accuracy my father gave me to good use. But you see this, unlike with shooting, I can play with you, Tetsuma.”
Tetsuma nods solemnly, and Shien closes his eyes for a second.
“Alright Tetsuma, post!”
*
Shien places third in a shooting competition. Tetsuma finds out through the whispers of the staff when Shien arrives home that night without his father.
Tetsuma is waiting outside of Shien’s window, but it never opens. He can see Shien inside, pulling clothes out of drawers and shoving them in a cloth bag. The room is a disaster, things strewn about with a messiness Tetsuma has never seen from Shien.
Shien is desperately trying to zip the bag shut when he finally sees Tetsuma outside of the window. Tetsuma raises a hand and waves.
Shien abandons the bag and marches across the room, throws the windows open. Without the glass between them, Tetsuma can see how red and swollen his eyes are. He can also see the shape of the football in the bag, its corner sticking out of the flap Shien was struggling to zip.
“Tetsuma, what high school are you going to?”
Tetsuma stares at Shien, eyes wide.
“Tetsuma, answer me!”
Tetsuma’s voice is rusty, but he pushes out a single word that will be enough to identify the school.
Shien’s mouth is pinched. He nods sharply and pulls the window shut again, leaving Tetsuma outside, confused and hurt. He watches as Shien picks up the bag and leaves the room, slamming the door loudly enough that Tetsuma can hear it outside of the closed window.
*
When Shien’s father returns the next day he never acknowledges the absence of his son. By the end of the week it’s like Mushanokoji Shien never existed.
*
When the school year starts, Tetsuma walks into his classroom and finds Shien there, head pillowed on his arms. Tetsuma marches over to him, waits until he looks up, and gives him a firm nod. No judgement or questions.
Shien smiles up at him.
*
“Hey Tetsuma.”
Tetsuma looks over at Kid, who has pushed his hat up so he can smile at Tetsuma with his whole face visible. Tetsuma glances to the side at the mouth of the tunnel they’re waiting to exit. All they need is for the announcer to call their names.
Kid turns and looks up the tunnel, still smiling. “Football with you is still way better than shooting.”
Tetsuma snorts.
Their names are called.
They run out of the tunnel together.
