sportsanime | Bonus Round 1.5: AUs

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

Second verse, same as the first! This is an overflow post for br1, meant to hold new prompts and their fills (so that we don't hit comment cap on the first br post).

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with an alternate universe idea, along with a ship from one of our nominated fandoms. There's a comment template below for your convenience.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Izumi & Sakaeguchi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Izumi/Sakaeguchi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
An AU can be a canon divergence, e.g. "what if [character] was the Team Captain instead of the canon captain character?", or a completely different setting altogether, e.g., pop idol AU, coffee shop AU, superheroes AU, etc.
Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

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

Required Work Minimums:

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.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

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 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point 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 (see the line of links below this post).

Poor hamster dad... also this prompt is A++++

***

When it becomes obvious The Loiterer is now blowing his nose on his shirt, Kunimi sighs heavily and leaves the register. His nightshift at the konbini had been relatively peaceful until a tall kid in a volleyball t-shirt came in and had a meltdown in the ice cream aisle. Kunimi had done his best to ignore him, but it becomes clear after ten minutes that The Loiterer has not gotten over his quarter life crisis.

"Oi," Kunimi says, causing The Loiterer to snap his head up. Large, watery eyes blink back at him. "Would you like some tissues?" Kunimi asks, doing his best to sound concerned.

The Loiterer’s gaze travels from Kunimi's 7-Eleven apron to the opened tissue pack in his hands. His nose and eyes and entire face are red, and he seems to be doing his best to shrink in on himself. "I-" He opens his mouth, then hiccups. "Thank you."

Kunimi watches patiently as The Loiterer blows his nose loudly on the free cat-print tissues someone had handed Kunimi outside of a cat cafe. He does his best to listen for the tell-tale sounds of the doorbell, despite knowing fully well that people rarely came in this late at night. They're on the quiet side of campus, tucked behind facility buildings and sports complexes. Kunimi can imagine how much foot traffic this store encounters during the day, so he's lucky to have nabbed the graveyard shift.

Eventually, Kunimi asks, "Are you okay?"

The Loiterer looks up from using up the last of Kunimi's tissues. "Huh?"

"Most people don't have a crisis next to the Pocky aisle," Kunimi says slowly. "It's late."

"Oh, yeah!" If possible, The Loiterer flushes even more. He's taller than Kunimi and has weirdly spiked hair, but his face is painted with boyish handsomeness. "I just- I was working on my project when I remembered Tobio..."

Kunimi can feel a headache coming. "Tobio?"

"My hamster."

"Did he die?" Kunimi does his best to sound sympathetic and fails.

"What? No! He's home with my mom! I just miss him!"

Kunimi's sympathy dies. Is this for real? "Go home."

"Huh-what?"

"It's ass o’clock in the morning," Kunimi spits out. "You were working on your project and decided to come have a mental breakdown at the store without even buying anything. Go home and go to sleep. You'll feel better in the morning."

The Loiterer blinks. "Oh... Okay... Thank you!"

"Bye," Kunimi says flatly and returns to his register.

It's not until three days later that he runs into The Loiterer again. Thankfully, they're not at the store this time, although the lecture hall is hardly a better alternative. Kunimi tries his hardest to ignore The Loiterer, but the boy somehow shouts in surprise and stands up from his seat at the sight of Kunimi.

Then he has the audacity to wave until everyone is staring at Kunimi and he has no choice but to sit next to the boy.

"Hello!"

"Hi," Kunimi grunts out. "How's Tobio?"

The Loiterer smiles, his face open and genuine. "He's fine!!! Ummm... Thanks for last time. I'm Kindaichi, by the way! Kindaichi Yuutarou!"

"Kunimi Akira."

Kindaichi smiles shyly. "I wanted to thank you for last time... Can I buy you dinner?? Or??? Coffee?? Or something?"

And, well, Kunimi is not one to turn down free food.

I'M YELLING i got this email when i was out and i couldn't stop grinning all the way through lunch while i read under the table ahaha GOOD

i love how kunimi just dubs kindaichi as "The Loiterer" and he's so done with this kid like please. he's getting paid minimum wage to watch this convenience store at the cost of his sleep, c'mon kid, get it together. AND THEN KINDAICHI IS CRYING OVER HIS HAMSTER TOBIO (nice touch, of course he would, same kindaichi, same) kunimi just going like "get out of my store" made me giggle so much omg
and kindaichi being so warm in his greeting at the lecture hall is so. darn. cute. kindaichi, you adorable turnip-head, you. i also love how kunimi asks after tobio?? sweet child, you do care. i hope their date is less teary and less breakdowns in the middle of the night in the ice cream aisle ahahaha

thank you for this fill, it was very refreshing to read!!

the hamsters name is tobio djfksafds i'm laughing so hard my poor sweet son kindaichi.. this was so cute and fun to read
