sportsanime | 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.

Himuro Tatsuya & Kagami Taiga; Kuroko no Basuke
no tags

Package: a box of painkillers
From: Taiga
To: Tatsuya
Note: You should have called me. You know I'd always have your back in a fight.

Kagami/Himuro, no tags, 439 words, G

Kagami doesn't hear the news until his shift ends. Instead of heading to the grocery store, he goes directly to Himuro's current safe house on the edge of the city. It's rusty on the outside with a newly furbished interior, and someone has the gall to point a gun at Kagami's head until Murasakibara says, "it's just Kagami."

Murasakibara doesn't bother with pleasantries as he leads Kagami to the back room, where someone is patching up Himuro's arm.

"Hello, Taiga," Himuro says pleasantly, despite the blood marring his bandages. "Sorry for the mess."

"Don't give me that," Kagami growls. "I heard over the radio that your main base caught on fire. Are you okay?"

Himuro dismisses the physician and the two underlings guarding the room. "Dandy. We moved most of the goods out last week, but I still suffered a loss. They're going to pay for this."

"Tatsuya," Kagami says. "Stop risking your life."

"It's an occupational hazard." Himuro smiles and leans back into his chair. "No one was injured in the fire. Did your station get called in?"

"No."

Himuro nods. "Good. I don't want to make it hard on you."

This was the understatement of the year. "Your job makes it hard on me. Am I supposed to just do nothing while you get yourself killed in turf wars?"

"Don't worry about me. You're a part of law enforcement now."

Kagami throws his arms into the air. "I'm a firefighter, not a cop." He knows, that Himuro knows, that Kagami would quit his job in an instant if Himuro needed him back in the crew. Yet, Himuro clung onto some grand notion about separating their day jobs to minimize collateral damage. Kagami doesn't say any of that. Instead, he reaches for Himuro's face. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes." Himuro hums and leans into Kagami's hand. "Just a little sore."

"Are you coming with me for the night, or do you need to stay here?"

Himuro opens his eyes. "Do you miss me already?"

"No, you dumbass." Kagami stands up to stretch his back. His last shift at the firehouse had been brutal, and he'd been looking forward to sleeping for 12 hours, preferably with Himuro in his bed. "Since you're obviously fine, I'm leaving."

"I'll come home later," Himuro says, which means he'll probably stay at base until the crack of dawn and slip into Kagami's bed as Kagami is getting up for work. It's not the love affair Kagami imagined, but it feels right for them.

"Hey," Kagami feels the need to say. "You know I have your back."

Himuro smiles. "I know."
