Bonus Round 3: Gift Tags
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.

“Noya, when I suggested we get Bokuto a stuffed owl, I did not mean a preserved one!”
“But this is so much cooler than a toy owl! He probably has a million of those, anyways, this is a totally one of a kind gift. And look at how awesome it's pose is, Ryuu! – Ryuu? You're, uh, looking kinda yellow...”
Tanaka was feeling kind of yellow too, and not in a sunshine-and-daisies kind of way. Only Nishinoya, when tasked with obtaining a simple birthday present for their nationally ranked, if not simple-minded, volleyball Ace boyfriend, would go and get him an actual stuffed and mounted taxidermy owl. Tanaka groaned and hugged his stomach.
“I don't know where you got those guts of steel from, bro, but any normal person would probably feel at least a little 'blegh' when looking at an unholy undead artifact.”
“You're so dramatic!” Nishinoya laughed, much to Tanaka's chagrin. “Taxidermy is totally normal, and totally cool! This majestic Great Horned Owl is going to live in a badass predator pose for the rest of its afterlife.”
Tanaka, stomach feeling more settled now that the surprise element was gone, hummed and looked over the owl. It had a massive wingspan, and once you got past the glassiness, the eyes were aggressive and kind of haunting.
And, there was no overlooking the resemblence between its crown feathers and Bokuto's unique hairstyle.
“How did you even manage to get this? I don't know much about stuffin' animals, but this guy's got yen signs all over him, and you're not exactly rolling in cash... Actually, you still owe me 1700.”
“What's a couple hundred yen between boyfriends?” Nishinoya grinned. “But fair, fair, it was definitely worth its weight in gold. Actually...” And here Nishinoya looked sheepish, and started rubbing the back of his neck. “I sold the vintage, limited edition Super Saiyan Goku figure I inherited from my uncle on ebay. You should have seen the bidding war!”
Tanaka looked at Nishinoya in complete awe. “You're either a total idiot or the most romantic guy on the planet,” he murmured. “How can I compete with that level of boyfrienditude?!”
Nishinoya laughed, smacked Tanaka's back, and then kissed his cheek. “You don't have to. You're already the perfect yes romo.”
Tanaka looked away shyly from Nishinoya's open praise, and back at the proud owl. He sighed.
“My guess is, when Bokuto sees this, he's either going to ask you to marry him or freak out because it's a dead owl and that's really, really sad. I'm pretty sure tears are going to be involved either way.”
Nishinoya frowned. “Oh, shit, I guess I didn't think about dejected Bokuto. Do you really think seeing this could upset him?”
Tanaka, realizing that Nishinoya spent a lot of money on this gift, opted not to send him to a nervous breakdown. “I mean, worst case scenario, he'd probably be upset for like, point two seconds? But this is Bokuto, he'll give it a name and we'll make a special memorial type plaque and he'll end right back up in hoot hoot heaven.”
Tanaka waited to watch Nishinoya visibly relax completely before he clapped him on the shoulder.
“Now let's wrap this thing up before those eyes haunt my nightmares.”
–
Upon opening his gift, Bokuto squeals, lifts the giant bird up by his wooden base and raises him over his head, and declares his name to be Kouta-kun. He then spends the next fifteen minutes following Akaashi around “until you admit I have the coolest son ever!”
Tanaka discreetly fist-bumps Nishinoya under the table.

Noya's dad was rich and had mad connections. These were two things Koutarou and Ryuu found out only a year after they were dating. Noya also only found out only a year after they were dating.
They had met him and he was very cool and open-minded about Noya's relationship. When he found out they were going to be staying together during Noya's time in university on a volleyball scholarship, he demanded pictures of their place. And then he was horrified at how small and old the place was. Then came various revelations that Noya's dad had no idea how things are priced and that Noya had no idea his dad could afford more than what he's been given. Even though Noya's dad had asked him everyday if he needed anything because he could give it.
Ryuu almost cried when Noya said he just didn't want to put stress on his dad to buy him so much stuff. He also wanted to slap him because Noya's laptop and phone were about a decade outdated he's sure. Koutarou had the same sentiment and cried and scolded him at the same time while pressing Noya into his chest.
Noya's gotten a lot better with asking for stuff when he needs it. Now he sometimes buys completely unnecessary, unusual and yet elaborate trinkets even.
So Ryuu is a little excited and a little worried to see what he got Koutarou. Ryuu had said to get plush toys when Noya went to Yamaguchi for his weekly dad visit but he knows with Noya AND his dad shopping, things could get weird.
He opens and examines the gifts.
He approves so hard.
Koutarou loves his boyfriends! They fit so nicely in his arms and they give the best kisses and they get him on so many levels that even Akaashi can't reach! They're sexy and hot and adorable and kind and all his! He still can't believe it sometimes!
Now they have sent him two gifts! Two! For no reason except that he was now in a whole other province very far away.
Their card had been written in their messy cute handwriting that they were so proud of him and loved him so much and wished they were there for him. They both wrote to fight on and crush his opponents! They believe in him!
There's even little scribbles of them in the corner (probably by Ryuu) and owl stickers everywhere (probably by Noya). He didn't think he could love them more than he already did but he's proven wrong once again.
He almost rips the bag with how fast he pulls out the gifts.
They're two plush toys. One that looks kind of like a crow but with Ryuu's hairstyle and sharp grey eyes and the other is a brown bird with a streak of black and yellow in the middle with Noya's big slanted eyes.
There's a sticky note on both of them that say 'SQUISH ME <3'. So he does. And two voices come from the plush toys.
"Aaaaarrgh yaaaah! Take that!"
"Rooooolllliiiing...thundeeeeerrrr!"
He stares at the two toys in his hands. He thinks he might cry. No, he's definitely crying already. He squishes both of them again and their laughter comes from it and it's like his boyfriends are right there with him. He keeps squishing them again and again and different phrases keep coming.
"Watch out, city boy!"
"Gari-Gari kun are the best!"
"You're the ace of aces, Kou!"
"Kou is the best amazing person!"
"Keep fighting!"
"You can do it!"
"I have your back!"
"We believe in you!"
"We miss you!"
"We love you!"
His roommate decides maybe he won't go back to his room just yet when he hears how loud Bokuto is crying and shouting.
