Bonus Round 4: Quotes

A shipping olympics favorite, this round uses quotes of all sorts to fuel your creative endeavors.


This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on July 21 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.


RULES
  • Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
    • Example: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - M. Gandhi
    • The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.
    • 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., Makoto & Rin). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Makoto/Rin). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
  • Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.

no major content warnings, lapslock, swearing, and Hot Smoochin
word count: 739

one.
miyuki has set one foot over the chalk line in the sand and it has him tipping forward upright past the point of no return.
his lips are on furuya's mouth. it is soft in a way that his own is not, and full, where his own lips are thin and chapped suggesting inadequate hydration. the bump and scrape of them together feels good. miyuki would gladly brag of being there for pleasure, and hesitate to admit the pressure of lips settled on him like sweet relief.
miyuki ignores the fact that it is not really past the point of no return yet, he knows that. it is more as if his foot has dashed the dry earth and scattered the line that was there, fragile powder boundaries. and when you kick up the dust, you are not sure which side of the line you are on.

five.
he thinks furuya is warming up to this. today's kiss is short, but hot. he opens his mouth and pries furuya's open too, drawing his tongue out from inside like a vine sprouting in the night. one great secret of miyuki's is that he has never gotten this far before, and the firmness of a human tongue surprises him, despite having one of his own all the time to think about. furuya's tongue is not thin and floppy like a cat's or dog's, it is muscled like the arms and legs with which he plays. miyuki is taken aback, and perhaps that is why he cuts this kiss off short.

six.
more worrying than anything yet is the thought that miyuki himself may be warming up to this. furuya's pitcher fingers wind into miyuki's hair, tugging at the long strands near the base of his neck. his mouth wanders to the side of miyuki's jaw, almost as if he aimed for the mouth and missed, but continued on, untroubled by this imprecision. furuya presses miyuki to him and breathes him in like the air, and miyuki grins, for a catcher loves to be needed. but he is less keen to acknowledge the taste he's acquiring for the smell of furuya's skin and the sounds from his throat, that tug and demand from all his five senses. it wouldn't be fun controlling furuya's want if he couldn't also have control over his own.
and he did not want to start needing a thing that came with an expiration date.

two dozen.
furuya pins him against the wall, arms tense, heat radiating off his face like a recent sunburn. in one sense, they are settling into a routine. in another, holy fuck, miyuki was not prepared for this. furuya has taken to kissing with an enthusiasm he rarely displays for other things. his tongue pushes past miyuki's teeth, faces smushing together, noses overlapping with a flagrant disregard for the existence of miyuki's glasses and the place where they have to go. stucco concrete is hard against miyuki's back and his elbows as furuya sucks his face the way a beast with a snout devours ripe mangoes. messy, messy. miyuki grins, or maybe furuya pulls his lip in that direction with his teeth. he is rotten fruit and he is ready to be eaten.

two.
drawn with the soft inexorability of a magnet and clicking into place all at once, their faces come together one more time. well, it seems that settles it. it didn't drive him away. the thin tense resolution like the membrane from inside a boiled egg, holds firm and keeps miyuki on his feet - on his toes.
he is desperately uncertain of what comes after this too, loath as he is to admit it, and the one-time confirmation of wanting to be kissed again does not, as he had previously convinced himself, provide the insurance that this can't all go sour and weird in the blink of an eye, if he lets it. miyuki tries to put that out of his mind. if he is banking on ruining a perfectly good battery over the feel of furuya's plush lips, then the least he can do is keep his mind on them in the moment, an injury worth remembering.

lost count.
miyuki wakes up to furuya snuggling close and worrying at his jaw. he rolls over and furuya switches to the back of his ear. miyuki sighs, pulls the sheets up, flips around, and kisses furuya on the lips.
