Bonus Round 4: Quotes

Quotes


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


An oldie but a goodie—in this round, we draw inspiration from famous words said by other people.


Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES
  • Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
    • Example: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche
    • The quote can come from almost anything—famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, etc.— but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
    • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
  • Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.
  • Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
  • Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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).

Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

FILL: Team Himuro Tatsuya/Nijimura Shuuzou, T

[personal profile] plume_sombre 2017-07-15 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ship: Nijimura Shuuzou/Haizaki Shougo + Kise Ryouta

Word Count: 939

***

Kise is biting the inside of his cheeks to not laugh at Haizaki's irritated glare. His face is twisting into nasty features that are screaming his dilemma—even though Kise likes to think this is just his stupidity taking a visible form.

“Come on, don't be scared,” he snickers.

“I'm not scared, you bastard,” Haizaki grunts.

“You are.”

“I'm not!”

“Then why don't you just do things like you always do? As in, charge into the problem and think later?”

While all of this is very funny and is providing him with an entertaining spectacle, Kise can't grasp the concept of bullheaded Haizaki Shougo hesitating on anything, especially diplomacy and human contact. When was the last time Haizaki actually considered his words before speaking? When they were ten and he was trying to tell him that his photoshoot was weirdly good?

“Because he'll think I want to pick a fight,” Haizaki replies with a roll of his eyes, and takes an aggressive sip of his shake.

“Well, we did stalk him for the past two days, he has every reason to believe that,” Kise points out. He glances to the side, where a table away, the target of their mission is sitting with his friends. “So just go and tell him he's cute. What's the worst that could happen?”

“I dunno, he could hear me? And think I'm batshit crazy?”

“He already thinks you're batshit crazy, and he's not wrong.”

Haizaki throws a fry at Kise, who simply laughs and catches it. Sweet, young love...

“If you're not going to do it, I will!” And Kise leaps out of his chair.

“What the fuck—Ryouta, you shit!”

The most surprising thing in that kind of situation is that, by thinking they're discreet about the whole affair, they're actually not, and Nijimura Shuuzou's friends seem to have noticed the ruckus since they get up from their chairs in a similar fashion as Kise, a yelling Nijimura ready to make blood spill. Kise is grinning, makes eye contact with the black-haired man (Konda? Kurota?) and nods. The two of them return the gesture.

Friendship based on helping a hopeless guy with a crush.

“Nijimura-san! I'm sure you remember me, I often come with Shougo-kun to the basketball practice!”

Nijimura whips his head around so fast Kise thought he was going to kill him instead, but when his eyes settle on Haizaki behind Kise, he seems to change his mind.
Haizaki is the one in danger, now.

“Yeah, the model?” he says, eyes slightly narrowed.

“That's me!”

“What do you want? I've got places to be, guys to kill.”

Kise looks at the retreating backs of the two men, and doesn't miss the way their shoulders are shaking.

“That's unfortunate, Shougo-kun has something to tell you—ow!”

“Stop fucking talking, you look even more stupid!”

“That's mean!”

Kise rubs his head, seriously considering telling Haizaki that hitting a model anywhere on the upper part of the body is prohibited, because hello, he needs to be perfect? One look at Nijimura informs him that this encounter is about to get either bloody, either romantic, so he decides to make a quick exit and leaves the issue for later.

“Shougo-kun gets shy when people are listening to what he says, so I'm leaving you guys alone, bye bye!”

“I'm going to hunt you down—”

And Kise waltzes out of the area, following his senpai's example and disappears.

“Friends are the worst,” Nijimura mutters.

“I should have strangled him,” Haizaki grumbles.

They stay silent for a moment. Haizaki honestly thinks that bailing out now is a good idea, especially since Nijimura is in bad mood. Nobody wants to deal with a Nijimura in a bad mood.

“So, what did you want to tell me?”

Haizaki jumps out of his skin at the unexpected question, asked in a normal and perfectly calm voice. He raises an eyebrow.

“Nothing in particular. That idiot was saying bullshit.”

“Yeah?”

Haizaki's heart is beating really, really fast, and while insulting Nijimura would be the best way to get out of here, he thinks that would negate the previous days' efforts at making progress.

“I've got tickets for a basketball match next week. You wanna go?”

And if the incredulous look on Nijimura's face isn't the most insulting thing ever, Haizaki doesn't know what is.

“Don't look at me like that, just say no if you don't wanna,” he sputters.

“I wasn't expecting that from you, that's all,” Nijimura replies. “You can actually be a decent human being and ask stuff nicely.”

“Shut up, you coming or what? I'll just go with Ryouta otherwise.”

Nijimura shrugs. “Why not, it can be fun.”

Haizaki is pretty sure that Kise is laughing like a whale, hiding somewhere near their table. He really is going to strangle him.

“Cool,” he says to Nijimura. “I'll give you the ticket and the details tomorrow at practice.”

“Sounds good.”

Nijimura looks around, probably wondering if his friends truly ditched him, and then he smirks.

“How do you feel about a food contest? We can eat for free that giant hamburger if we finish it under twenty minutes.”

Haizaki has always wanted to try that challenge (one kilo of meat in a hamburger, who wouldn't want to try?), so he grins.

“You're on. Loser has to pay for the winner's food next week.”

A few meters away, Kise is smiling, and he exchanges high-fives with Kubota and Sekiguchi.

I'm glad you liked it!! Kise and Haizaki as best friends are a Team™ and I love writing them that way.
Niji squad is also a squad I like to write, because Kubota and Sekiguchi usually make Niji's life hell lol

Thank you for your kind words!! :D
