Bonus Round 6: Remixes

[referees]

The event's almost over, and you've made it this far, congrats! This round encourages you to look back at everything the SASO has made and use it as inspiration.

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on August 18 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Choose a fanwork created by other participants in a previous main or bonus round of SASO and create a new piece based on it. You could create a fanart of another work, an FST inspired by a piece’s style, retell another person’s fanfic from another point of view, create a new fanfic inspired by a great piece of art... go wild!
• You cannot remix your teammates' works.
• You must have permission from the original creator. There's a blanket permissions post here (feel free to add yourself to it!), or you can leave a comment on their original post asking for permission.
• You must include the dreamwidth link to the original work in your post.
• Since all fills are based on previous works, there will be no prompts for this round. Simply post your fill as a comment in response to this post.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

Iwaizumi Hajime/Oikawa Tooru; Haikyuu!!
mortal/immortal relationship
word count: 437

remix of sotongsotong's fill

Loving a mortal is like doting on a small, insignificant specific speck on the ground, when his rain encompasses the entire region, no, the entire country.

Tooru loves Hajime all the same. That alone is enough to make him important enough to be worthy of Tooru's time and attention. Even if it still feels a little strange.

He's jealous of his own raindrops for touching Hajime's face, when he wants to do it with his own hands. He hates the way that his own winds will blow past Hajime, ruffling his short hair, playing with the hem of his clothes. Hajime might have come to think of all of it as Tooru, and he's correct in his assessment, just as much as he isn't.

The weather is part of Tooru, of course. An extension of him, and a way to make his presence known, whether that be to Hajime or to everyone else in the area.

It still feels like a stand-in, when Tooru is bound to the sky by his duties. He'll have to wait until he's done before he can spend time physically being with Hajime, and he knows that the more he turns his attention to Hajime alone, the more he'll have to wait.

He still can't resist the urge, anyway. It's never anything big. Some carefully directed raindrops here, a gentle rumble of thunder in response to whatever Hajime says to the sky. Tooru keeps an ear out for all of it; the yelled curses whenever Tooru is feeling particularly petulant and reminds Hajime of his presence with an incredibly specific downpour, the casual greetings as Hajime turns his smile to the sky as if he knows that Tooru is watching, and the whispered confessions of, I miss you, or it's been a while, that are never outright requests to come and visit, but Tooru has learned to read between the lines long ago.

Hajime doesn't need to know any of that, though. He doesn't need to think of Tooru as a god far older than he looks; he's happy to play the petulant, teasing young man that fits Hajime's expectations. When he grows, and when his needs for what he finds in a partner change, Tooru will too. He already knows that; they've been playing this game since Hajime was too young to remember . They'll be playing it until Hajime doesn't remember any more.

Tooru pushes the thought from his mind with a particularly strong gust of wind, and turns his attention to Hajime, on the ground below, waiting for him.

With a smile, Tooru lets himself fall like the rain.
