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.

Oikawa & Iwaizumi & Hanamaki & Matsukawa, G, 537 words, no tags

Contrary to popular belief, Mizoguchi-sensei does not assign jersey numbers to the team. Instead, the third year regulars line up at the beginning of volleyball season and participate in the well established Seijou tradition of jumping for numbers.

Iwaizumi has known about this since his first year at Seijou, but that doesn't diminish his annoyance after he lands on the ground and takes a look at the fabric in his hand. Number four. He should have expected this.

"Don't be discouraged," Hanamaki says, already wearing his #3 jersey over a lumpy t-shirt. "You can work on your arm span for the rest of the year."

"Also work on your jumps," Matsukawa adds while tying his jersey around his neck like a cape.

Iwaizumi knows this is all true, but he still feels his blood pressure rising when Oikawa drapes over his back.

"Iwa-chan! Don't be sad and aghast! Some of the best players have worn that number! You are the ace and heart of te- Well, okay, I am the heart of the team, but you get the point."

Iwaizumi moves to knock Oikawa off his back. "Shut up, Shittykawa."

"Four is the number of death," Matsukawa points out, apropos to nothing.

"Spooky."

"Hold on, there's a great pun in here somewhere. Maybe we can spread a rumor that once Iwaizumi comes on the court, our opponents will be dead."

"Or maybe that he looks like death- OW IWA-CHAN!" Oikawa rubs the back of his head gingerly.

Matsukawa just hums. "His arms can kill. Or is it his thighs?"

"You're the one with nice thighs," Hanamaki reminds him.

Matsukawa has the nerve to look touched. "Thank you. That's such a sweet thing to say-"

"Iwa-chan, why aren't you hitting them?!" Oikawa demands while hugging his own jersey. "I'm not the only one who deserves your wrath!"

"Look," Iwaizumi says and folds his arms for good measure. "We're upperclassmen now. Everyone is gonna look up to us to set an example for the club."

"They already do," Matsukawa says calmly. "Because, you know, we're taller?"

"No, Issei, that's wrong," Hanamaki says, and Iwaizumi almost thinks Hanamaki is taking this seriously until he adds, "That Kindaichi kid will probably outgrow you soon."

"Mattsun! Makki! Stop interrupting Iwa-chan when he's trying to give his Vice Captain speech!"

"We need to get our head in the game," Iwaizumi continues while shooting Oikawa a rare, grateful look. He ignores Hanamaki mouthing my head's in the game and my heart's in the song. "We need to stop dicking around and get serious. Seijou is going to nationals, and we're gonna take our banner all the way to the Tokyo Stadium."

Surprisingly, Hanamaki and Matsukawa just nod in agreement.

"And cut down on the High School Musical references, damn it. It's not even the right sport."

"Now just wait one minute."

"That's going a bit too far-"

Oikawa chooses then to resume his role as Captain. "Okay, executive decision! We won't tell anyone about how Iwa-chan got his jersey number and Iwa-chan won't enforce any totalitarian rules upon us. Sounds good?"

"Yeah," Iwaizumi says and suppresses a smile.

He's looking forward to this season.
