Bonus Round 2: Images

[referees]

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.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 4-10: 10 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21+: 2 points each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only.

alcohol drinking

674 words

Momo runs his hands through his hair again. It’s become something of a nervous tick, smoothing his hair behind his ears to keep it out of his face. He looks at his watch and then back to the empty seat beside him at the bar. He put a menu on it, in order to save it for a guest that he only half believes is going to show up at all, and the black characters of food items on the white background are watching him panic. He wonders if he shouldn’t cut his hair short again, style it back the way he had in high school, or straight up like he did in junior high. No, that was ridiculous, and this whole panic was ridiculous. He takes a gulp of the beer in front of him, hoping the cold drink will calm him.

The izakaya around him is fairly empty, only a few groups of people, some locals, a few business people after their work day, fill some of the tables, and despite his prudent menu placement, Momo is alone at the bar and it’s like to stay that way. The bartender is a friendly older man, eager to refill his beer when Momo gestures towards it, and happy to slide him another menu to order from.

Momo is halfway to a panic attack and wondering if he should have worn a tie when Kaidou comes in, looking much the same as he looked the last time Momo had seen him (in high school): frustrated and stupidly handsome.

He walks up to the bar without looking at Momo, and gestures to the bar tender. The bartender’s friendly demeanor seems to set him aback because, after barking an instruction, he takes a step back and bows in apology. Momo wants to laugh at how quickly Kaidou was made to back down, but he holds it back until the bartender gestures towards him.

Kaidou looks, and looks confused. He glances back to the bartender as if the man would have the answers to his questions and when he looks back at Momo, Momo can’t hold back his laughter any longer.

He laughs loud, and the comprehension dawns on Kaidou’s face.

“Momoshiro?” He asks, and it’s the first time Momo can really hear his voice, deeper than it was in high school, and he looks as if he’s grown into it now, tall and broad shouldered.

“Kaidou-san.” He says, his voice still breathy from laughter and he hopes the sarcasm in the title comes across. “Sit down. You’re late, you know!”

Kaidou steps closer, and Momo just snatches the menu off the bar stool before he sits on top of it. Momo hears him murmur something about missing a train and he laughs again.

The bartender brings them a second glass of beer and Momo slides it over to Kaidou. “I wasn’t sure you were going to show up.” He says.

Kaidou shrugs. “I said I would.”

“I said I would.” Momo mocks in his deepest fake-voice, and finishes it with a laugh. “People don’t do stuff they say they’re gonna do all the time, you know. You wouldn’t be the first guy to stand someone up!”

Oh. Momo seems to realize what he said at the same moment that Kaidou does, because Kaidou’s face goes blank. “I mean, people blow off friends all the time.”

Yes, friends, he clarifies, wait. Shit! “I mean, it wouldn’t have been a big deal if you didn’t show up.”

This time Kaidou laughs, and Momo wants to bury himself in his pint glass. “I wouldn’t stand you up.” He says, and Momo looks up, eyebrows raised.

“Really?” He asks, too hopeful.

Kaidou shrugs and takes a drink of his beer, but when he sets the glass down he’s badly hiding a smile. “I was looking forward to this.” He says.

Momo rolls his eyes. “Okay, don’t be a jerk.”

Kaidou takes a smaller drink and looks back at Momo. “I like the long hair.”

Oh, I love this! So excited to see a MomoKai prompt filled! Poor Momo -- I can see him holding a torch for Kaidoh all this time. And "frustrated and stupidly handsome" is just a perfect Kaidoh description. And yes, Kaidoh, you love Momo's hair. <3

Thank you so much for filling my prompt! And for writing my guys. They always need more love.
