Bonus Round 3: Gift Tags

Bonus Round 3: Gift Tags


Feeling generous? In this round, you get to give creative gifts as prompts.

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.
    • Package: medium sized cube, rattles
      From: Kageyama Tobio
      To: Hinata Shouyou
      Note: These will help you get better.
    • Envelope: manila, 12''x17'', very thick and heavy
      From: Tezuka Kunimitsu
      To: Kinjou Shingo
      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.
  • Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.


FORMAT
Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:
  • 400 words (prose)

PROMPT: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
  • Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team you belong to, including Grandstand or Sports Teams
  • Place the prompt's relationship in the first bolded line of the comment. Including the canon isn't required, but it's nice.

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.



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.

no tags, word count: 540

Bokuto tended towards either loud, grand gestures of love, such as pointing at Kuroo after a win and yelling 'This one's for you, babe!' or small, unconscious ones, like the way he always smiled, however briefly, when Kuroo held his hand. He didn't really do anything in-between.

So this was a surprise. A turquoise box wrapped in a white ribbon, just the size of a ring box (and Kuroo would know- he'd been eyeing up rings for the past few months), sitting in the middle of the kitchen table, Bokuto nowhere to be seen. Kuroo stepped closer and noticed that the box was sitting on an index card.

Please say yes <3 it said, and although the message was light the handwriting was tense and spiky, rather than Bokuto's usual large scrawl. He'd been nervous.

There was no reason for him to be; they'd talked about spending their lives together before, on multiple occasions, but emotions didn't always listen to reason, especially for Bokuto.

“Bo!” he called, on the off-chance his boyfriend was in the apartment. “Babe?” he tried again, only to be met by silence. Kuroo bit his lip and looked at the box again.

Slowly, he undid the ribbon and took off the top of the box. Sure enough, a black velvet ring box sat nestled inside. He stared at it.

“Nope.” Fishing around his pockets, he pulled out his phone and dialed Bokuto. No answer. He cursed and tried again, with the same result. Kuroo cursed and thought for a moment, then called Akaashi. He picked up immediately.

“He's here, Kuroo-san,” said Akaashi before Kuroo had even opened his mouth. “He seems to think he's done something stupid, but won't tell me or Kunimi what he did.” Kuroo groaned. “I can only guess.”

“It's not- Can you put him on, Akaashi?”

“Gladly.” Kuroo heard Akaashi say “Talk to him” and Bokuto's whine. There was a moment of silence, which Kuroo presumed consisted of Akaashi glaring, because the next thing he heard was:

“Hey, babe.” Bokuto sounded sheepish and Kuroo rolled his eyes.

“Bo, you numbskull.” Probably not the best way to start, judging from Bokuto's whimper. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Babe, no, I didn't mean it like that. I just can't believe you wrote a note? Where's all that charm and confidence, huh?”

“Did you open it?” Bokuto asked.

“No. I'm waiting for you to come back and ask me in person.” He heard shuffling on the other end.

“I didn't know if- I'm probably going to cry, Kuroo.” He sounded embarrassed. Kuroo laughed.

“You've cried in front of me tons of times, babe. You cried at the end of Terminator 2.” Bokuto squawked indignantly on the other end. “Besides, how do you know I won't be crying with you?”

“Good crying or bad crying?”

“Why don't you come home and find out yourself?” Kuroo smiled. “Love you.”

“Love you too. I'll be right there,” Bokuto replied, and Kuroo thought he heard Kunimi say “Thank god” before Bokuto hung up.

Kuroo got out their best bottle of sake and two glasses, and waited for Bokuto to come back.
