Bonus Round 4: Official Art

This round is CLOSED. Late fills can be posted, but they won't receive points.

Memorable canon moments, bizarre omakes, tantalizing magazine spreads—this is the round to explore them all. Bring out your screencaps, promotional art, and manga pages, and let's talk about what really happened.
Please read the rules carefully before posting!

RULES

Submit prompts in the form of a canon screencap from one of our nominated fandoms along with a ship. Screencaps can be from an anime or manga, as well as any other kind of offshoot media, e.g. official art, drama CD covers, light novel illustrations, magazine covers, and/or caps from games. Doujinshi, fan-made games or any other fan-created work should not be prompted, even if you receive permission. Only prompt screencaps that are taken from a piece of canon media.
Keep your prompt concise. Don't prompt a whole manga chapter, for example.
Upload the cap somewhere (imgur works well) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them.
Your prompt MUST include some kind of 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 inspired by the cap.
Fills can be directly connected to the cap, e.g. panel redraws or writing fic that fleshes out the moment that was capped or that fleshes out what happened directly before/after, but fills can also be more indirectly linked. As long as the work is somehow inspired by the cap, it counts.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Mashima Taichi/Ayase Chihaya/Wataya Arata (Chihayafuru)

Please give me vaguely body worship porn. or like, anything else you want, but that's what I was thinking. Beauty not in vain for once

:DD!

No warnings apply. 487 words.

Taichi likes that Chihaya ties her hair up to play.

It never starts as a neat bun -- Chihaya is careless and sloppy, and long strands of hair are be left free even from the beginning. She is eager to play and can't be bothered to fuss over how neatly her hair is tied back. Portions of hair still spill over her face when she leans over her cards, and she wastes precious seconds pulling them back, again and again.

It is frustrating and breathtaking at the same time.

As each game progresses, her hair falls apart in small ways. As she plays, hair spills lose with every movement, every swipe of her arm, every sharp intake of breath. Sometimes, in the silence between syllables, another strand will fall free. Long hairs cling to her face and neck as her skin glows with sweet sweat. When he is her opponent, Taichi makes a point to not look up too often, lest he forgets what he's doing.

In games especially difficult or emotional, her hair becomes undone completely, and Chihaya will tie it up again, more roughly and more hurriedly than before. Her appearance is always an afterthought to her, but no matter how the game goes, no matter how Chihaya struggles or doesn't -- she was always beautiful.

Secretly, not so secretly, Taichi likes to see Chihaya's hair falling slowly. She is a chaotic, graceless beauty. Her focus is elsewhere. He loves this about her, but he loves that she was beautiful, still.

Arata likes it when Chihaya leaves her hair loose to play.

It happens very rarely, only when Chihaya is so eager to play that she forgets. Her hair falls down to her elbows when she leans over her cards, and there's be acknowledgment in her eyes every so often that she should have tied it up. Sometimes, she will tie it up mid-game into the usual rushed, haphazard bun or ponytail, but more often, these are the games where she will struggle through with her beautiful hair flying in every direction, unable to spare any thought to convenience or practicality as she sits poised over the cards, waiting for the next syllable.

She squints through the long strands and swipes her arm, slams her hand down with no regard for herself. Now and again, broken hairs fall over the playing field. Her passion is overwhelming and her beauty eternal. Arata likes the opportunity to see that it isn't only a metaphor, and he, too, cannot look up too often, or he becomes lost in the gleaming hair.

Chihaya doesn't think about her hair, and she doesn't notice when the boys around her stare, or look away hurriedly. She looks down at the cards and feverishly tries to memorise. When the game is over though, sometimes she can catch a blush and a too-long stare. She never knows what it's about, but they always make her smile.

aaahh!!

this was so lovely oh my god thank you so much!
