Bonus Round 1: Memory

[referees]

Let's start our summer by looking at the past—things that happened in canon, or maybe in an AU, or maybe just as wishful thinking...


This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on June 9 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

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! You prompt should consist of one scenario beginning with the phrase "Remember when", along with any ship/ot3/etc. from our list of nominated fandoms.
  • Your prompts can take the form of recalling canon facts/events ("Remember when Nozomi and Eli got parfaits after school?"), non-canon events ("Remember when Megumi and Jin met at the Tadokoro Family Reunion?"), or somewhere in-between ("Remember when Bokuto and Kenma first met?"). Headcanons and AUs are welcome!
  • 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., Rei & Nagisa). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Rei/Nagisa). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Post fills by leaving a responding comment to a prompt with your newly-created work.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Akaashi was snoozing, splayed out on the queen sized bed with Kenma knocked out while playing his 3DS between his legs and perched slightly on his stomach. The window was open and the curtains were blowing back and forth with the cold breeze that came along with the warm summer day.

Kenma snuffled and curled closer around Akaashi while his human pillow snored slightly, head buried underneath the cold pillows, hands clasped over his chest and legs tangled with Kenma’s curled body.

The beeping of the 3DS and the warmth of the day and just close companionship had lulled them into a deep doze and this is how Kuroo and Bokuto happened upon them, scheming and mischievous devilish georgian grins.

Both covered their chortled before getting into a running stance and bumped knuckles before throwing out a silent countdown with their fingers. At rock, they both let out a burst of speed and a leap with a bellow of surprise before they leapt clear over Kenma and Akaashi who jolted up in fear.

Kuroo and Bokuto slapped each other’s hands in celebration and loud laughter before the ominous crack sounded the bedroom and before the four of them could even think about what caused it, sent them all tumbling off the bed as it tipped at an angle.

“Jesus piping burrito!!” Kuroo cursed as he landed at the bottom of the dog pile. But it was nothing to the squawk of pain that Bokuto let out as Kenma grabbed his collar and yanked him down.

“If my 3DS is broken, I hope you aren’t allergic to nuts because I’m going to kick them up into your throat.” Kenma hissed before snapping to glare at Kuroo and drawing a line at his throat and punctuating it with a thumbs down.

Akaashi just stared at the ceiling. “You are both worthless. Useless. Good for nothing. Nothing but a sack of shit. Get out of my house.”

Bokuto bawled loudly. Like the fucking pissbaby that he was, Kuroo thought as he watched Kenma throw Bokuto away from him in disgust as tears and snot dripped everywhere.

“Atleast we didn’t break the bed during other activities.” He insinuated with a waggle of the eyebrows. He was treated then with a hand to the face as Akaashi used it to get up off the ground and look at the damage to the bed.

“And you’ll be sustaining those other activites until you fix said bed and then some.” Akaashi said before pulling Kenma up who looked through the angled bed to find his 3DS.

He found it, Bokuto however, was never found again.

hello! this is.... such a good (painful) prompt, so i hope this fill does it justice OTL. middle school abe/haruna gives me all the tears

nowhere, with you
(27 lines)
i.
looking at you i remember
believing in the truth of the big bang —
first the crash, a momentary collision
for entire worlds to spiral out into being,
a whole universe held in the
palm of my hand, impossible
to catch, a dream
too heavy to carry
alone.

ii.
i met you, believing
i wasn’t the only one, believing maybe
for even a moment you were here,
and when you looked at me saw only
me, and us, and nothing else
but then i knew you,
and realised knowing you is
to believe in looking at someone
without ever really seeing
them at all.

iii.
the distance between home
plate and the mound is sixty feet,
but the distance between us
and what became of us remains impossible
to measure. the hardest thing
in the world is missing someone
right beside you, still too far
away to touch.

It was cold—the wind that blew through their hairs and the snow that fell softly on their flushed cheeks.

Mihashi stared at the snow beneath his feet and wrung his gloved fingers, waiting for Kanou to speak. He was in town visiting his relatives and they had met coincidentally while he was heading towards the convenience store. He was nervous and excited at the same time. He wanted to tell Kanou everything about his team. How he’s working on becoming a better pitcher, learning new pitches, and realizing what a battery really meant.

“Ren…” Kanou finally spoke. Mihashi looked up and he could see the warmness in the other’s cheeks. “Are you happy…? With your team I mean.”

Mihashi’s heart beat fast and his eyes shined enough for Kanou to know the answer, but the former did anyways, nodding and giving an excited, “Mm!”

Kanou slipped into his own smile and chuckled. It had been a while since he’d seen Mihashi happy. Not even during their time in Mihoshi did he get to see Mihashi smile often, if ever. His smile faltered and he looked away before Mihashi could notice the sadness in his eyes. He was genuinely glad that Mihashi finally got a team that recognized his hard work; he really was, but nonetheless, he felt lonely. Not only had Kanou admired Mihashi’s pitching control, he admired him as a person. Mihashi was kind ever since he’d known him as a child. Always timid, but also very easily happy just by playing a few rounds of catch. He missed those days.

“Do you…Do you ever think about what if?” Kanou whispered his thoughts aloud, half-hoping Mihashi hadn’t heard because it wasn’t as if Kanou didn’t like his own team. He enjoyed practicing and playing with them and forming his own real team. But, he can’t help but wonder if it would have been better if Mihashi was there also.

Mihashi tilted his head slightly, hearing the question but not really understanding what he meant by it.

“If you had gone to Mihoshi with me…” he clarified, suddenly feeling like he needed to hear an answer.

Mihashi jumped at the mention of his old school. Even though he had made up with his former team, it still made him anxious. He still held onto the guilt of ruining everyone’s junior high years, so he didn’t really want to think about if he had gone Mihoshi. Reluctantly, he met his eyes with Kanou’s to find the other staring expectantly at him. Mihashi quickly looked away, feeling that if he were to tell what he really felt, it might somehow feel disrespectful to the his old team and his current team.

Kanou gave in and let out something mixed between a sigh and disheartening laugh. “I guess you wouldn’t.
Your team must be that great, huh?” He gave Mihashi a big smile, trying to ease the atmosphere again. But the false happiness could be seen through his sad eyes and it didn’t go without notice.

“Shuu-chan…” Mihashi contemplated how he should explain his feelings before continuing, “I-I think about the past…a lot…I have thought about what if I had gone to Mihoshi.” He curled his hands close to him, remembering when he had dreams where he was accepted by his old teammates. “B-But I am okay now. I…I don’t think about what if anymore…”

Kanou frowned, feeling the loneliness run deeper into his heart. He didn’t know what he was hoping for Mihashi to say. After all, he knew Mihashi was happy with his team so of course the latter wouldn’t miss being at Mihoshi. But he wanted Mihashi to say something different, something more.

“I-I don’t think about Mihoshi much anymore, but…when we were kids…I think about it whenever I’m sad and a-also sometimes when I’m happy. I-I miss playing catch with you, Shuu-chan.”
It took a moment for Kanou to take in what he had heard. The pink of his cheeks turned into a deep red. He lifted his hand to his mouth and coughed, trying to hide his own happiness. His lips stretched into an honest smile. “Me too.”

Mihashi gave one of his rare big smiles in return and Kanou could feel his heart fill with warmth enough to melt all the cold and shivers of his body. He leaned closer to Mihashi and without thinking embraced him, letting his head fall onto the other’s tensed shoulder.

Not knowing what to do, Mihashi put his arms around him, blushing as much as his body could handle. He clenched his hands to the back of Kanou’s clothes. His heart was beating fast and his nerves felt so tingly. He didn’t understand. But he knew he had really missed Kanou and now he’s thinking what if. What if Mihashi told Kanou how he really felt? How Kanou’s texts always made his day. How Kanou was his special rival. How Kanou was the person he admired most. How much Kanou meant to him, not just as a role model, but as person he would always cherish. How just being with Kanou made him happy.

“Ren...” Kanou mumbled onto the now relaxed shoulder and held him just a bit tighter. Mihashi glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, waiting for him to say something, but nothing more was said. Kanou could feel his own pulse thrumming against the skin of his neck. It was loud in his ears and he thought maybe Mihashi could hear it. The root deep in his heart bloomed in his chest. This was what Kanou wanted—to mean something to Mihashi. He didn’t want to just be a memory. Mihashi said he’d miss him and that was enough; it should have been enough. Kanou could feel the thorns in his chest ache. This was what he hoped for, yet he couldn’t bring himself to say what he wanted the most—Mihashi.
