This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on July 7 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.
RULES
- Submit prompts as a gift tag in the format below. You can specify the size and a characteristic of the gift, who the sender is, who the recipient is, and a one or two sentence note from the sender to the recipient. Descriptions of the package and the included note don’t have to be explicit, see below.

Note: Enclosed - Play without regrets! - Your prompt MUST include a relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Riko & Momoi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Riko/Momoi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either.
- Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. Fillers can get creative with how to interpret the prompt: your fill can be about the character receiving the gift, one or both characters using the gift, what prompted the sender to send the gift—the physical gift itself can even be excluded from your fill. What’s important is that the gift tag is clearly the inspiration for your fill.

PROMPT: TEAM KUROO TETSUROU/TSUKISHIMA KEI
no tags
Package: bento wrapped in furoshiki
From: Kaidoh
To: Momoshiro
Note: My mother made this for you, NOT ME
FILL: Team Tennis no Ouji-sama, G
okay so when I first saw this prompt I misinterpreted it as Kaidou sulkily complaining that his mother had made lunch for Momoshiro instead of him and this is the result.
Word Count: 1018
-
The bento is covered in an exceedingly cute green cloth patterned with hundreds of tiny white snakes. They seem to have been painted on by hand, if the wobbly 'fshh' speech bubbles coming from them are any indication. Momoshiro unties the knot and stares at the enclosed card.
My mother made this for you, NOT ME.
The writing is clearly that Viper's. Except that Momoshiro has met Kaidou's mother maybe twice in his life, and he hadn't thought she liked him enough to make a bento for him, especially at the cost of her own son's lunch.
He is slightly concerned.
Very slightly.
Staying a regular on Seigaku's tennis team is a tough ask even on a full stomach. Momoshirou doesn't care much for Kaidou, but he does recognise talent and hard work - Kaidou has both in extra-large spades. It wouldn't be right for him to miss out on a regular position - or worse, lose in an official match - because his mother had been too charmed by Momoshiro's dashing looks to pack her son a proper lunch.
Moreover, Momoshiro hadn't thought Kaidou would be the type to sulk. That last clause is clearly unnecessary - an addition that serves only to show Kaidou's hurt at being skipped over in the lunch line.
It shows a sort of vulnerability Kaidou isn't usually willing to show Momoshiro.
And he'll never admit to it, but seeing that side of Kaidou, Momoshiro is...grudgingly charmed.
It's the bad boy appeal, he tells himself. The yankee who secretly saves cats.
Or, in Kaidou's case, not-so-secretly saves them. Everyone and their two grandmothers knows Kaidou is a cat person.
That, too, is...very regrettably, adorable.
He's not playing fair, Momoshirou thinks, re-wrapping the bento. He needs to stop.
He spares one last forlorn look at the rewrapped bento. It really is a bit of a waste - everything in there is the type of thing Momoshiro loves, down to the 'don!' spelled out in tomato sauce on his egg rolls. He has no idea Kaidou's mother was such a fan - he's trying not to think of how she found out about his culinary preferences.
Perhaps she asked Inui. There's no way that Viper would have told her - the idea is as laughable as the thought of Kaidou making the bento himself.
That's kind of a nice image. Kaidou would look good in an apron - he already looks decent in a bandana.
From an objective standpoint.
"Oi!" he roars, taking the steps two at a time. "Where are you hiding, you jerk?"
A low hiss sounds behind him. "What did you say about me?"
"What were you doing in the corner?" Momoshiro asks. There's certainly nowhere else Kaidou could have come from. And to think Momoshiro hadn't even noticed him. How embarrassing.
"None of your business," Kaidou spits, getting all up in his face. He seems especially angry today - probably because he's hungry. Momoshiro holds out the the bento in a hurry.
"You should have this," he says, though his hand spasms around it. He really doesn't want to give up the prawn cutlet burger in there.
Kaidou's looking at him like he's grown two heads. "What sort of stupid -- "
"You must be hungry," Momoshiro continues. "I know I'm a popular guy, but I have principles, you know. I'm not going to seduce someone's mother."
"What are you blabbering on about?" Kaidou seems incredibly unnerved, which is proof of how traumatic the situation must have been for him.
Momoshiro points at the card. "This note," he explains. "You said your mother made lunch for me instead of you. I can't let a teammate go without lunch, can I?"
He concludes with a huge grin. Kaidou splutters. Momoshiro continues to grin. At some point, his words will sink through to Kaidou's thick skull, and...
Kaidou chucks the bento at him. "Learn to read!" he growls, face inexplicably red, and storms off, muttering something about stupid tennis players who can't understand simple Japanese.
"Wait!" Momoshiro yells. He picks up the bento again. He can't let Kaidou go hungry in good conscience, but at the same time, that burger... "Do you want to share?"
Kaidou's face cycles through a million different emotions before settling on some strange constipated look. Terrible. Momoshirou, personally, would have picked that red fury from just before, or the surprisingly innocent look of shock from just before that, or even the apron look from his earlier fantasy - wait, imagine...imagining? Not fantasies; that doesn't sound wholesome.
"Fine," Kaidou says curtly, breaking through Momoshiro's confusion. He snaps his chopsticks, which he seems to have acquired out of thin air, and sits down next to Momoshiro. His cheeks are still faintly pink - he should get that checked. It wouldn't do to have him falling ill.
"Dibs on the prawn burger," Momoshiro says, the instant they undo the wrapping, and Kaidou rolls his eyes.
"Fshhh," he breathes, making a pass for the sausages instead. He watches Momoshiro eat with a sort of nervous energy that Momoshiro doesn't quite understand - it's not like his cooking is on display. Still, Kaidou's the sort to take a slight against his mother as a slight against himself personally, and Momoshiro isn't the type to insult a person's mother, anyway.
"Your mother is a fantastic cook," he gushes, watching as Kaidou's mouth puckers into that constipated look again. Does Kaidou think Momoshiro is trying to hit on his mother? "Seriously," he tries again, "this bento is incredible."
Kaidou's face turns purple. He breathes fast, in, out, in, hissing all the while. Before Momoshiro can comprehend what's going on, Kaidou's grabbed the furoshiki, upended the bento into Momoshiro's face, and fled the scene, leaving nothing but the sad remains of a perfectly good bento.
Momoshiro licks tomato sauce from his hands. The burger really had been tasty - he could eat that sort of lunch for the rest of his life. Perhaps he should pay a visit to the Kaidou family, give his thanks for the meal.
What an excellent plan, he thinks, satisfied in body and soul. He's really too smart for his own good.
