sportsanime | Bonus Round 3: Gift Tags

Feeling generous? In this round, you get to give creative gifts as prompts.

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

RULES

Submit prompts as a gift tag in the format below. You can specify the size and a characteristic of the gift, who the sender is, who the recipient is, and a one or two sentence note from the sender to the recipient. Descriptions of the package and the included note don’t have to be explicit, see below.

Package: medium sized cube, rattles
From: Kageyama Tobio
To: Hinata Shouyou
Note: These will help you get better.
Envelope: manila, 12''x17'', very thick and heavy
From: Tezuka Kunimitsu
To: Kinjou Shingo
Note: Enclosed - Play without regrets!

Your prompt MUST include a 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. Fillers can get creative with how to interpret the prompt: your fill can be about the character receiving the gift, one or both characters using the gift, what prompted the sender to send the gift—the physical gift itself can even be excluded from your fill. What’s important is that the gift tag is clearly the inspiration for your fill.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

makishima/toudou ; yowamushi pedal

package: large, poorly wrapped with very shiny foil
to: MAKICHAN
from: YOUR ETERNAL RIVAL!!
note: IN ANNIVERSARY FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU BEAT ME IN A RACE AND STOLE MY HEART!!!

no tags

433 words

The sun shining off the abomination of a package makes Makishima squint when he sees it. It’s still there, even after he closes his eyes and opens them again, shining and blinding and looking too large for Onoda’s hands.

“Toudou-san said I had to deliver it right away!” Onoda chirps and Makishima glares. He doesn’t want to glare at Onoda, but he needs to glare somewhere and Toudou isn’t here.

“It’s fine, just give it to me.” He says and takes the package before Onoda has the chance to move. Onoda scurries away and Makishima spares him an apologetic glance. Hopefully he hadn’t been too rude, but it’s always so hard to tell.

The label, if possible, is more obnoxious than the foil, and the note scrawls halfway across the top of the box in Jinpachi’s handwriting. ”In anniversary for the time you beat me in a race and stole my heart!!! <3 <3 <3 --Toudou Jinpachi” Makishima drops the package like it’s on fire, letting it slam too hard against the table top.

Maybe that was overboard, he reflects, but carefully avoids touching the written words as he opens the side. It’s really badly wrapped, he reflects, and Makishima is surprised. For someone so neat and conservative in his fashion, he’s remarkably bad at gift wrapping and aesthetics. The first side comes untaped, and there is more wrinkled foil bunched beneath the folds, so much that by the time the entire package is unwrapped Makishima has nearly cut himself a dozen times on its edges.

At first he isn’t sure what he’s looking at, nestled in the box half full of packing peanuts. Is that a stuffed animal? Is it a real animal? God he hopes not. Surely even Toudou wouldn’t be that stupid. But no, it’s not alive, but when he touches it it is soft.

Disentangling its many black legs from the packing peanuts, Makishima pulls out what appears to be a stuffed spider, and, taped to its head, a second note.

“Maki-chan,

I remember the first time I saw you climb
Eyes on the horizon
Legs moving like a creepy crawly spider
And I thought
Oh, he’s lovely.
And you’re lovely still
A year later and I hope this finds you well
And makes you smile.

-Forever Yours, Jinpachi”

Makishima folds the note, poorly written poetry included, more carefully than he probably needs to, and sits down on the nearest chair. He takes a deep breath and laughs, louder than he ever remembers laughing before.

oh no... i love your bad toudou poem it's so cute and so toudou?? ive read it like three times and i can't stop giggling about it

also, makishima just throwing the package, and poor onoda, just, what a good thing. scoops up my precious fill!!
