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.

FILL: Team Azumane Asahi/Sawamura Daichi/Sugawara Koushi, T
“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.
