Bonus Round 1: Memory

Bonus Round 1: Memory


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.

    Etc.
    If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only.

Kousaka Honoka/Minami Kotori/Sonoda Umi (love live!)

Remember when Honoka was feeling sad one day, and Kotori and Umi made it their top priority to cheer her up?

no tags, 1,080 words

As soon as they got the text in their group chat, Umi and Kotori knew something was wrong.

First of all, it didn't have nearly enough exclamation points; in fact, it didn't have any at all. Just one, single word, with none of the usual flourishes and ramblings that came along with a message from Honoka. All they got was a single, solitary, "okay."

Instantly, Kotori got a message from Umi, just as she was hitting send as well.
11:29 Umi Sonoda: Is Honoka alright?
11:29 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): Do you think Honoka is okay?

She couldn't help herself, she giggled as she took a screenshot of the too cute exchange.
11:29 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): I don't think so... She never sends one word replies.
11:30 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): Even when she's busy, it's never one word...
11:30 Umi Sonoda: I agree. What should we do?

What should they do indeed? Kotori tapped her finger to her lip, humming softly to herself.
11:31 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): If we ask her directly, she's going to say everything's alright and we worry too much.
11:31 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): But at the same time, I can't ignore this if Honoka really isn't feeling well!
11:32 Umi Sonoda: I can't ignore this either.
11:32 Umi Sonoda: Maybe we should invite her out somewhere tomorrow?
11:33 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): Umi, are you asking Honoka and I out on a date?

The brunette snickered to herself as she watched the ellipses next to Umi's name appear, disappear, then reappear again. Umi really was adorable. Ever since the three of them had agreed to give this a shot, Umi had been too shy to suggest anything... Kotori's brows raised, as her lips curled in a small smile at the words that appeared on her screen.
11:34 Umi Sonoda: Yes.
11:34 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): I was wondering when you were going to ask. I'd love to go!
11:34 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): Oh, but this should be all about Honoka.
11:35 Umi Sonoda: Yes, absolutely. Do you have anywhere in mind?
11:35 (•͈⌔•͈⑅): Actually, I have just the place!

Honoka sighed quietly to herself as she waited for her girlfriends to arrive. To be totally and perfectly honest, she really hadn't felt like going out today. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so down in the dumps for no apparent reason, but she knew if she told Kotori and Umi about it, they'd worry about her. And she absolutely, positively, couldn't have that! So when they asked her out today, she couldn't say no...

They were supposed to have been here ten minutes ago though, which is was downright strange. Especially since Honoka herself had arrived 15 minutes late, which was pretty typical of her, but Umi was always on time. They said they would be here soon though; maybe they were caught up in something? Before she could even think to take her phone out of her purse, however, two different hands laced their fingers through her own. The one on the right was calloused from archery practice; the one on the left was soft and warm. Honoka couldn't help herself, she beamed as she turned to smile at her two best friends in the whole wide world.

"I was wondering where you two were!" She laughed, swinging their hands between them. "What took you so long?"

"Sorry for making you wait Honoka," Kotori smiled as she squeezed Honoka's hand in her own. "Umi and I just got a little sidetracked with something. Isn't that right, Umi?"

They both turned to the other girl, who smiled back at the two of them. "Yes, we're sorry about that. Let's get going, shall we?"

Honoka grinned and nodded, and without thinking began to lead the way...! Only to find that neither Kotori nor Umi were following her. She tilted her head to one side as she turned back to look at them, a confused frown crinkling her brow. Her girlfriends exchanged sneaky smiles, before turning to face Honoka.

"Honoka, how about you let us lead the way this time, okay?" Kotori asked sweetly, her voice dripping with honey. Honoka tilted her head to the other side; now she was REALLY confused. Weren't they just going window shopping? What was going on?

Umi took a step forward, placing a hand on Honoka's shoulder. "Just close your eyes and trust us, okay?"

She pursed her lips and glanced between the two of them. "O... kay. This better not be a joke!" She declared loudly, before closing her eyes.

"And no peeking!" Kotori chimed in with a giggle. A tiny swell of affection filled Honoka's chest as the two girls began to walk, carefully leading her forward.

It seemed to take forever to get wherever they were going. Occasionally, Umi and Kotori forgot to warn her about a step, or that there was a crack in the sidewalk, but every time Honoka tripped, they held her steady and kept her from falling down. So despite the clumsy instructions and the missteps and the "I think it's to the right, actually''s and the "Honoka look out!"'s, Honoka found that she didn't mind this at all.

It was nice just being with the two of them, and it was all Honoka needed to cheer her up.

Finally, they came to a stop. "Okay Honoka, you can open your eyes now!"

And what she found in front of her made her heart stop, then race forward.

"I-Is this... what I think it is?!" She asked breathlessly, turning first to Kotori, then Umi.

"Yes, and we have reservations for two hours." Umi smiled, Kotori giggled, and Honoka flung herself at her girlfriends, pulling the two of them into a tight hug.

"You two are the best!" She shouted, nuzzling her face against Kotori's shoulder and Umi's neck. They hugged her back, Kotori rubbing Honoka's back while Umi ran her fingers through her bright orange hair.

"We knew you were feeling down, so we decided to take you out to cheer you up." Kotori beamed. "We also told them how much you love fresh bread, and they have all kinds for us to try inside. So... ready to go?"

When Honoka finally pulled away from them, she had tears in her eyes, but the happiest smile on her face. "Yes, of course!" She exclaimed, and with that, the three of them stepped into the dog cafe together, and were greeted by a symphony of excited barking and wagging tails and big brown eyes.

It was the best day of Honoka's life.
