FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
fictional seduction of octopus, supernatural-ish, it's dungeons and dragons
1016 words
“You die,” Kageyama says flatly and the scowling faces of Kunimi and Kindaichi greeted him.
“Are you kidding me,” Kindaichi says as he grips his character sheets, “I rolled a d20. What were you pitting us against?”
Kageyama shrugs his shoulders and Kunimi shares a look with Kindaichi, the atmosphere turning tense.
“Well, fine,” Kindaichi grits his teeth and grabs his character sheet, “I guess that I’ll just take my character elsewhere. Have fun being the King of the Court.”
Kunimi doesn’t grace him with a goodbye.
**
“Oikawa-san,” Kageyama had asked two years ago, “please teach me how to be a good DM.”
Oikawa snorts, looking up from the map that he was drawing—it looked as though it was a sea-based adventure and Kageyama was instantly jealous—and rolls his eyes.
“Nope,” Oikawa says, “unless you get down on both knees and beg me to teach you.”
Kageyama shifts, eyes wide and willing, and begins to do so.
“No—god, Oikawa, you piece of shit,” Iwaizumi groans and interjects, Kageyama looking up quizzically. “Kageyama, you don’t have to bow down—a campaign just has to be done with the right people. With enough imagination and direction, any game is interesting.”
“But,” Kageyama pips up, “Oikawa-san’s games are the most interesting to play.”
“Well,” Oikawa says haughtily, “that’s because I’m the best, Tobio-chan.”
“God,” Iwaizumi mutters underneath his breath.
**
“You can’t jump that high,” Kageyama seethes and Hinata blinks.
“Why not?” He demands. “I use a bardic spell to enhance my jumping ability.”
“What,” Kageyama squints, “what bardic spell are you using?”
“Uh, the jumping one?” Hinata squints and god—is his character sheet upside down. “Is there a list or something?”
Kageyama tries to remind himself that patience is a virtue.
**
Kageyama thinks about Oikawa’s games and how flawless they were.
He calls Oikawa again and again but maybe his number is blocked or something—Oikawa never picks up so it goes to his voicemail and Kageyama’s not desperate enough to leave a message, yet.
**
Oikawa shows up at his house one day with Iwaizumi in tow, the latter rolling his eyes.
“Oikawa-san,” Kageyama greets, “Iwaizumi-san.”
“Tobio-chan,” Oikawa says, “set up a game. Let’s see how you DM.”
**
“You are on a boat,” Kageyama says.
“And?” Oikawa asks, his legs swinging to and fro and bumping into Iwaizumi’s, if the irritated look is any indication.
“And what,” Kageyama responds.
“And what,” Oikawa mimics nasally.
“Oikawa,” Iwaizumi says and turns the most patient smile onto Kageyama. Kageyama, for one, is pleased.
“Fine, fine—and where are we going, what is the state of the crew, what does the ship look like, is there a captain, are they hot, how fast are we going, what is the condition of the sea around us—god, Tobio-chan, just describe the scene.”
“Uh,” Kageyama says because his campaigns usually don’t get far enough for him to figure out where they’re going, “I guess—you’re headed to a… town by the sea,” Oikawa snorts and then cringes when Iwaizumi kicks him, “and there are fifty crew members. It’s a big ship. A pirate ship. There is a captain and I—I guess? There are sea monsters swimming around the boat so jumping off and swimming to shore is not really an option, but there doesn’t seem to be any land in sight. You’re moving pretty slowly because there’s very little wind.”
“Huh,” Oikawa says after a pause, “I’ll give it 5 points. It’s a start.”
“I’d like to explore the ship,” Iwaizumi says.
“The upper or lower deck,” Kageyama is surprised by the quality of his response and Iwaizumi hums.
“I guess the lower deck.”
“You find treasure—it seems as though you’ve discovered where they store their treasure. Do you take it?”
“Hm,” Iwaizumi says, “I’ll take a little bit—just enough to fit in my pockets, nothing too notable.”
“Alright,” Kageyama says, “you gain 100 gold.”
“Sweet,” Iwaizumi nods and makes the change on his sheet.
“I’m going to seduce the captain,” Oikawa says with a sweet smile.
Iwaizumi groans, “not again,” under his breath.
“Um,” Kageyama is bewildered, “roll for charisma?”
**
Oikawa has put all his eggs in one basket, the charisma basket.
“The captain—which you haven’t met before—turns out to be a humanoid octopus. He asks if this is okay.”
“Great,” Oikawa says and rolls the d20 die in his hand, “even better, I whisper seductively into his ear—oi, Iwa-chan, octopi have ears, right?”
Iwaizumi looks like he doesn’t want to be here.
“His tentacles go red as he blushes,” Kageyama responds weakly. Oikawa hums approvingly.
“You don’t have to humor him,” Iwaizumi says as he glares over the table at Oikawa, who’s fluttering his eyelashes.
“I ask him if I’m the first human that he’s shared such an… intimate moment with.”
Something nudges his foot. Kageyama peers down to see that it’s Oikawa’s shoe. Huh.
“Yes,” Kageyama furrows his brow, “he responds that he’s never spent time with a human—all of his crew members are octopi.”
“We’re on a ship full of humanoid octopi,” Iwaizumi looks like he’s ready to give up.
“I trail one of my fingers down his head to the base of his tentacles and give it a hearty squeeze,” Oikawa says.
Kageyama feels mildly uncomfortable.
“Roll for strength?” He responds and Oikawa huffs.
“No, no, I’m not trying to fight the captain—”
“We’re fighting the captain,” Iwaizumi says, “roll for strength because we’re going to stage a coup.”
“We’re level one,” Oikawa throws his hands up in the air.
“I’m not listening to you wax octopus sex with Kageyama,” Iwaizumi scowls. “If my character has to die, so be it.”
Oikawa rolls.
It’s a 1.
“Oh,” Kageyama says and stares, mouth twisting. “You squeeze tenderly, so tenderly that the captain—“
“Moans?” Oikawa leans in. “Shivers? Throbs underneath my hand? Squirts ink in ecstasy?”
“The captain loses interest in weaklings,” Kageyama replies instead and Oikawa pouts.
“I burst into the captain’s quarters,” Iwaizumi says, “and roll to engage him in combat.”

Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
it's a wild night when someone puts all their points to charisma
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
HE SQUEEZES IT SO TENDERLY. seriously, this is THE BEST. Every part about this is so plausible, i swear to god.
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
i was thinking about having oikawa's character's finger break because they're that weak but then i was like ... nah... just.. just have iwaizumi end this
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
I'M KILLING IT BECAUSE I FUCKING LOOOOVE MYTHOLOGY AND SUPERNATURAL AUS LIKE IT'S TIME FOR ME TO SHINE
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
iwa has to go along because he's the fighter/monk/barbarian with all the strength and defense modifier while oikawa MESSES AROUND WITH CHARISMA so it's a long time suffering as oikawa kicks his shins
kageyama just wants to be a good DM and oikawa's playing footsies with him underneath the table and seducing all the boss monsters he makes up
Re: FILL: TEAM Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun, T
this is so so good. as if oikawa would know what to do with an octopus captain once he had them.
