Bonus Round 3: FSTs

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

Profess your love for your favorite ships with the power of song! In this round, we ask you to create fan soundtracks and use them as inspiration for new fanwork.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES

• Submit prompts in the form of a short playlist (1-6 songs) and a ship from any of our nominated fandoms. Submit only the track listing and a link to where they can be listened to; the idea is for others to interpret what you present. You may also link to lyrics if you would like.
• Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Lilia & Sara). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Lilia/Sara). Please don't say "Any pairing," either.
• Create content based on the playlists of others! Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
• Fills may be in any form you choose (except for another FST of course) as long as they are inspired by/fit the mood of the soundtrack they are filling for.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

FORMAT

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.

Required Work Minimums:

• 400 words (prose)

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only (see the line of links below this post).

this ended up being more like a bunch of short snapshots together but... i hope you like it anyway?

***

the queen bed is too big for their little bedroom and too small for three college boys, yet through some sheer force of will they made it work. they pushed it into the corner, angled nicely underneath the room's only window with just enough space to open their closet and open the door to the rest of their shared space.

it's everything he wants, daichi thinks, even when he wakes up with both of his arms humming numb radio static in his brain.



the rain is always loud against the windows in tokyo. more than it ever was in miyagi - suga blames it on all the extra cars and the clump of restaurants at the end of the block.

alone, he thinks it would drive him insane. he relishes sleeping in because he only has so many days where he can, and he wants to treasure it. not be forced awake by the pit pit pat of raindrops and footfalls.

but he's not. he's got his two favorite people with him; so buries himself between them for the quiet, the warmth, and suga finds peace.



his alarm is set before all the rest, accomodating for his earlier schedule. it doesn't bother him to be awake before the sun, though kuroo find himself more mornings than not laying awake for an extra ten minutes before getting up and ready for the day.

the room is a dulling gray, early morning light filtering through to make white outlines across the rumpled sheets, tucked in legs, and the sleepy face tucked against his shoulder.

it all bids kuroo to stay, to savor just a bit longer.



the smell off coffee is what wakes him up.

daichi takes care to untangle from suga as he sits up and pads out of bed, crossing the few measly feet from their bedroom to their galley kitchen. it's where he knew kuroo would be, bed head twice as bad as normal and starting down at their little french press.

"don't glare at henry this early." daichi loops his arms around kuroo's waist and kisses his bare shoulder. "he's doing his best."

"good morning to you too." kuroo leans back to plant a kiss on daichi's crown. "and i'm hurt you think i would do such a thing to our son."

daichi chuckles, resetting his body against kuroo the way it was before they decided to get up and be respectable for the day. "just making sure."

"mhmn." kuroo shifts only to grab two mugs from the drying rack. "now, where's our sleeping beauty?"

"well, you're up, i'm up, coffee is nearly done so i'd say... five, four, three, two--"

"tetsuuuu, daiiiichi..."

"one." daichi snaps his fingers and kuroo laughs so hard he snorts.

"are you teasing me? already?? jerks."

"sorry." daichi says only half meaning it, "no name calling in front of henry." kuroo's says at the same time, very much meaning it.

"i can't believe i love you two." suga sighs, and gets the milk.



they sit at their small table when the coffee is finally ready, legs tangled together again, and know that no matter where they go from here, the tender moments they share will always be with them.

They skip the pleasantries; Haizaki’s been here long enough that it’s actually sort of refreshing not to be asked what he’s in for, for the new inmate (he’d be pretty if it weren’t for the dead eye) to size him up, his gaze flickering cool, to look at him like he’ll do for something. Haizaki’s not used to taking orders, to being arbitrarily chosen, but it means, at first, exactly what he thinks it does. Sex on the bottom bunk of a cell, in the back of the library just out of the way of the cameras (slick hand jobs under the table when they can), like this—Haizaki’s used to having it casual, once in a while; he’s used to using it for power, for fear. He’s not used to having it as an end for itself, the way Himuro seems to.

“What the fuck do you want?” Haizaki says after the tenth or eleventh time (he’s lost count), Himuro lying on top of him, coming down sweaty, face half-hidden in the shadow.

“You,” says Himuro, as if that’s simple, as if Haizaki is something to want. “What do you want?”

Haizaki wants Himuro, sure, pretty lips and voice sweet like he hasn’t tasted since he got in here. But this is transient; no matter what Himuro did he’ll get out here sooner than Haizaki; he can’t have a pile of minor crimes that reduce to little security but a lot of time.

“I want to get out of here,” Haizaki says.

Himuro’s hands are smooth in his. “I can do that.”

Haizaki wonders how many people he’s made sweet promises to like that, if in the real world his hair covered his face like the shadows and he looked so asymmetrically pretty, if he made a promise to the wrong person and that’s how he got in.

“How you plan to do that?”

“I don’t,” says Himuro. “But I’ll figure it out.”

Haizaki snorts; there’s no reward for honesty here but it’s cute from Himuro, the smile that plays around his mouth before Haizaki leans in to kiss him; if this is a ploy to get more of this then Himuro’s won already. But Haizaki’s got nothing to lose from another kiss, no good behavior bridges to burn if Himuro talks too loudly about what Haizaki wants. So Haizaki squeezes Himuro’s ass, cups his hips in his hands, kisses the stubble on his cheek and the lobe of his unpierced ear.

A little didn't go a long way,

what do you think I should have said

when they told me you both were dead?
they found you swollen, skin blue with bloat
I wished you'd taken me instead

of Gou. maybe a swimmer's head
could have seen what those gray clouds denote
could have said what should have been said

kept your sailboat off the seabed
(we're lucky that dead bodies float)
I wished you'd taken me instead

now I've come here to this remote
bay to curse the water, shred my throat
raw with screaming all I could have said:
I wish you'd taken me instead

Almost has never been good enough for Tatsuya but it's all that he gets these days, and he absolutely hates it.

It's not that Atsushi doesn't give him the time of day; he gives Tatsuya more time than deserved, and they both know it. For all of Atsushi's harsh exterior, he's always been weak for Tatsuya and that's not going to change any time soon. Even if Tatsuya finds himself worrying that perhaps it will, perhaps he'll push too hard one day and he'll push Atsushi away entirely.

Then again, by all rights, that should have already happened by now. They're not together, but sometimes, it doesn't feel like they're entirely broken up together, like there are still some threads left, connecting them together, and neither of them want to be the one to cut them, but neither of them know how to start weaving the rest back into place either.

So they settle for almost because it's the best that they're going to get. The two of them sitting together, almost holding each other's hand as they talk, fingers just barely brushing against each other as they rest on the table between them, or briefly circling each other's wrists to tug as they walk somewhere together. Arms almost touching as they sit side by side, and Tatsuya wants to lean sideways so badly, but he holds himself back, holds himself up, and reminds himself to breathe through the longing, to keep it burning under the surface. He needs to keep his head cool. His heart can burn itself to ash for all that he cares, as long as Atsushi can't see a trace of it in his expression.

A lesser person would fall for it. Atsushi just looks at him and snorts quietly. "You've always been a shitty liar, you know."

"I'm the best liar there is," Tatsuya replies, flippant, arms folded across his chest. "Everything I do is built on being good at bluffing."

"Maybe," Atsushi allows, turning around and leaning in, and Tatsuya's heart rate spikes as he realises that they're almost kissing. "But it's never worked on me, even once. You know that."

Atsushi pulls away, and Tatsuya decides that this isn't an almost that he's happy to let go. He reaches forward, grabbing the front of Atsushi's shirt.

"Tatsu-chin—"

"Then I'll stop lying," Tatsuya tells him. "I'll stop pretending I want anything other than this."

He pulls Atsushi into a hard, desperate kiss, fingers still curled tightly in the material of his shirt.

Atsushi just kisses back, his lips curved into a smile.

Warnings for emotional and mental manipulation, Hanamiya Getting Around and people being used as pawns.

***

Hanamiya wasn’t never been the type that believed in the therapeutic power of tears. What did they do except make your eyes red and your nose run?

When Imayoshi informed him that their relationship was over and he did not want anyone to even know of their past association as they entered their last year of high school, Hanamiya’s first impulse had been to tell Imayoshi that he was letting fear trap him into making bad decisions. He knew how they could keep their relationship running without anyone finding out.

Really, just because Toudou Academy had thin walls and Kirisaki Daiichi had a reputation as a school for spoiled rich brats didn’t mean that it was impossible for them to continue as they had been! They’d managed it discreetly in middle school. High school wouldn’t be any different. Even college didn’t have to be the end of them.

The arguments were right there on the tip of his tongue but Hanamiya stopped himself before he could voice them.

If he said anything, it’d seem as he needed Imayoshi. As if he were too attached to take being dumped.

He slumped back in his chair and smiled lazily instead, “Okay. Saves me on train fare anyawy.

As if he’d ever been short of cash.

*

Hanamiya draped himself over the railing of the stands and cheered loudily as the ball swished through the net.

Imayoshi looked up, shoving his hair off his face, and narrowed his eyes at Hanamiya. Ignoring his team, he jogged over to the stands and asked with a sharp smile, "Couldn't stay away?"

"Don't flatter yourself," Hanamiya said airily. "I've come to cheer on my new boyfriend."

"Sakurai?" Imayoshi asked in a tone of disbelief, putting together who'd scored with whom Hanamiya had cheered for. "He's practically a child."

Hanamiya shrugged, his teeth glinting wide, "I was younger when you started with me."

He dropped his voice a little, widening his eyes in mock surprise, "Are you jealous, senpai?"

Imayoshi turned around and headed back to his team. Such a question wasn't worth answering.

*

Wakamatsu was such an angry thing at his heart and so protective. When he threatened Hanamiya with dire harm should he break Sakurai's heart, Hanamiya had barely kept himself from laughing. Instead, he'd insisted that he was always very gentle with Sakurai and Wakamatsu could even watch if he wanted to.

Talking Wakamatsu into joining them for a threesome had been far more difficult than talking Sakurai into it.

He promised not to share the photos he took of the two of them but Imayoshi somehow ended up with them in his e-mail anyway.


*

During Kirisaki Daiichi's game against Seirin, Aomine and Hanamiya met in the bathroom. It wasn't a long encounter but it was long enough for Hanamiya to leave a very noticeable hickey on Aomine's throat. After all, if Aomine was there, that meant Imayoshi would be there as well.

Imayoshi had used to wear Hanamiya's bruises under his clothes. Placing that one on Aomine's neck was a very deliberate challenge.

*

Tears wouldn't bring Imayoshi back. Neither would logic.

But if Hanamiya knew anything about Imayoshi, it was that Imayoshi hated to be outsmarted.

Hanamiya had taken his team and now Imayoshi would have to counter attack.

It's early afternoon and Atsushi hasn't gotten out of bed all day. He's lying there, curled up into a ball and covered in Taiga's blankets, and the only indicator that he's awake is the fact that there's a steady pileup of junk food wrappers on the bedside table.

"Hey," Taiga says from the doorway, leaning against it with his arms folded across his chest.

"Go away," Atsushi mumbles tiredly, but he doesn't protest when Taiga does the exact opposite, walking into the room and sitting on the edge of the bed. They sit in silence, letting it stretch on, until Atsushi curls into a tighter ball and says, "It was probably me."

"I don't think so," Taiga replies softly. "I don't know why Tatsuya left, but it's probably not because of you."

"So it's your fault, then," Atsushi says, annoyed. "You're to blame. Good work, fucking up what we had."

Taiga stiffens up, ready to argue, but he stops and reminds himself to take a deep breath. "That's not it either, Murasakibara, and you know it."

Atsushi sits up with the rustle of snack wrappers, the blanket hanging off his shoulders as he hunches over, hugging his knees to his chest. "The bed still smells like him."

"He'll be back," Taiga says, so quietly that even he can barely hear his own voice, afraid of jinxing it. "He was happy with us and I know it. You can't fake something like that."

"He could," Atsushi sighs, leaning back against the wall, slowly letting himself unfold until he's stretched out, feet hanging over the edge of the bed, his hand almost brushing Taiga's side. He tilts his face up to the ceiling, shuts his eyes, and sighs again, even heavier this time. "If there was a single person in the world who would perfect a fake like that, it would be him. Maybe it's our fault."

"You can't keep blaming yourself for other people's choices," Taiga tells him gently, watching as Atsushi's shoulders go stiff and defensive. "In the end, it was still their choice to do whatever they ended up doing."

"So he chose to leave," Atsushi finishes. "Not just you, or not just me. He left both of us."

Taiga's still trying not to dwell on it because it hurts too much to think of the fact that Tatsuya was never happy with them, biding his time until he could leave, while making everything look just fine on the surface. He should have known Tatsuya better than to let him get away with that sort of thing. It doesn't change anything in the end, though. He takes a deep breath and then exhales, shifting on the bed and leaning against Atsushi's side.

"Yeah. He did."

All Ryouta needs to do is shut his eyes, and he can play this whole thing out in his head, from beginning to end. It's like a film, he thinks to himself. One that he's watched so many times that he knows how it goes, back to front, but can't help but watch again anyway, hoping that maybe this time, things won't end the same way. Maybe this time, it won't be a fucking tragedy and he can finally get the resolution he needs.

Except he knows that's not how it goes. His memory's too good for that, every conversation they've ever had written into the back of his mind, for better or worse. He remembers how good it was at the beginning, remembers the rush of being wanted, remembers the way it felt to be so entwined with Yukio that nothing else in the world even mattered.

He remembers the warning signs, just like he remembers ignoring them. He remembers the way Yukio slowly became more distant, instead of a constant presence by his side.

Blinking his eyes open, Ryouta wishes that he could just stop there. If it was a film, he'd end it there. He'd edit it, give it a different ending. A better one, he thinks to himself.

The ending where he talked to Yukio, instead of just letting everything fester. The one where he said just how much he loved Yukio, how much he wanted to hold onto this, no matter how difficult it might be.

Except that he knows it's not real, it's not even realistic, and that's just a bitter truth that he's going to have to swallow, making him suffer on its way down. It's not something they would have done, not something they could have done and in the end, Ryouta can't deny it.

He could just cut out all the bad memories instead, making something significantly shorter but happier. He discards the thought, the way he won't discard the memories. It isn't going to make anything better. In the end, everything's just going to hurt that little bit more when it doesn't line up with reality.

"Ryouta," Yukio greets quietly, pulling him out of his thoughts. He takes the seat opposite Ryouta, arms folded on the table, and looks at him, properly looks at him, giving Ryouta all the attention that he asked for without knowing how to deal with it. "You said you wanted to talk?"

"Yeah," Ryouta replies, unsticking his throat. "I just… wanted to talk things out, Yukio. Can we do that?"

He hasn't imagined how this conversation is going to go, but when Yukio nods with a cautious smile, it doesn't matter anyway. Sometimes, experiencing the real thing is all he needs.

***

Tobio is struggling with his elbow guards when Oikawa comes over, clucking his tongue. "Always so needy, Tobio-chan," he says, fingers deftly working at the fastenings.

It'd be easy to get defensive and remind Oikawa that he's not in the habit of wearing the things, but he refrains. Sometime between the practices at dawn and the long nights spent reviewing plays and the times they woke up sprawled over each other after they inevitably fell asleep on Oikawa's floor, he learned that it's better to redirect his energy to other things.

Like getting in a dig of his own every once and a while. Tobio keeps his face blank as he says, "You always want to get your hands on me, Oikawa-san."

Oikawa's hands go still, and Tobio smiles even as Oikawa pinces the skin of his inner arm. "Crude, Tobio-chan."

Noya chooses that moment to bound over, clapping Tobio on the shoulder. "You guys ready?"

Oikawa's deft fingers finish up the velcro on Tobio's second guard. "As we'll ever be, Nishi-chan."

As they move from the locker room towards the court, Tobio snakes his hand through Oikawa's for just a moment and squeezes.

Oikawa elbows him gently in the side. "Don't get sentimental, Tobio-chan," he murmurs, though there's no teeth in it, and Tobio can't help but smile.

The stadium lights reflect off the freshly-polished court floor, near blinding in the intensity, and Tobio takes a deep breath. "Ready?" he asks.

"That you even need to ask is an insult," Oikawa mutters.

And he is ready—Tobio knows this, he's known it from the moment he met Oikawa. He just never expected to be in the position to ask, never thought he'd be sharing this moment with Oikawa.

Years ago, he never would have thought he would want to share it with Oikawa.

In middle school, Tobio dreamed of making it to the national team, to compete for Japan on whatever stage he could reach. After he met Oikawa, it became something different—something more like a goal, something he had to surpass, someone he had to surpass.

He spent years chasing after that goal, chasing after Oikawa's back, through high school and nearly halfway through university before the announcement of the U20 national team roster, where they were both named to the team.

Suddenly that goal shifted to something entirely different, something Tobio couldn't quite wrap his mind around at first.

After all, the two of them had never shared a common goal before. Not like this.

But now they were here, together, battle hardened and ready for the world stage.

Tobio inhales, releasing Oikawa's hand.

He starts when he feels Oikawa snatch it back just to squeeze it, once, before releasing.

Tobio tries not to smile too wide as they take the court.

Ishigaki’s fingers curled around the cut glass tumbler, the raised patterns of crystal digging into his flesh. Inside the glass, the amber liquid sloshed slowly, the heady aroma of the aged whisky rising into the air and pricking at his ears.

“I loved him, you know,” he told Makishima with the careful over-pronunciation of someone doing his best not to sound drunk.

“You said that already.” Makishima’s discomfort went ignored by Ishigaki who raised his glass to his mouth and took another sip. The salt of tears on his lips gave the whiskey an odd flavor; it would have gone better with some tequila, perhaps, something that was naturally paired with citrus and salt. Not that they had any citrus though Makishima’s hair was lime green.

Hm. He couldn’t put hair in a drink.

Maybe he was a little drunk.

“It’s just—“ Ishigaki tried to explain, feeling vaguely that his host deserved to understand. “—He was so pure. Not innocent, but pure. He wanted to win. That’s all he wanted. All of us, we want other things.”

He gestured vaguely with his glass at the large room they sat in, encompassing in the clumsy wave of his hand the fireplace, expensive carpet and ancient Scotch.

“Want more. Fame. Prizes. Money. Not him.” He took a gulp of whiskey, the burn of it sliding down his throat feeling like a well-deserved punishment.

“All he wanted was to win.” Ishigaki squinted at Makishima blearily, trying to see if Makishima understood that concept. “That’s all. Just to win.”

Ice cubes clinked against each other as Makishima added a few more to Ishigaki’s Scotch, surreptitiously watering it down. It was clear that Ishigaki was in no condition to appreciate the fine drink and hadn’t been ever since the funeral had ended.

“He just wanted to win,” Ishigaki said again and this time, his voice broke in the middle of the words. His shoulders shook, tears falling into the glass and diluting the drink even further. “He just wanted to win and now he has. I told him desires that are too pure can consume you. I warned him he was pushing himself too hard – but he just wanted to win.”

And in winning, he’d left Ishigaki behind once more.

He’d crossed the finish line before them all; Midousuji had caught up to death and ridden away with him. Nobody could take that victory from him now.

“I loved him,” Ishigaki said, “And then he died.”

Thank you for prompting this! This is not quite the direction in which I’d planned to take it but I think it worked out okay.

***

Imayoshi’s first year at Touou Academy is surprisingly unenjoyable. He settles in quickly enough, charms the teachers and pleases his parents by joining the basketball club (again).

And yet something’s lacking.

It takes him a while to admit to himself that what’s missing is Hanamiya.

He doesn’t know how Hanamiya learnt to pick locks. Rich brats should have no use for those skills when their name and their money should open all the doors they want and yet Imayoshi’s seen Hanamiya turn paper clips into lock picking tools that’ll get him in anywhere.

Most of the time, however, Hanamiya had used his skills at picking locks to break into Imayoshi’s room. Imayoshi rooming with a boy a year below him would have been suspicious so instead, they both got rid of their roommates and Hanamiya dropped it whenever Imayoshi invited him - or whenever he felt like it.

Imayoshi had a double room all to himself once more but nobody to keep him company. It was easy enough to spot the boys that would be receptive to his advances, the weak-willed and shy ones who would never dare report him and questioning boys who would let his will sublimate their own but none of them were interesting.

Not like Hanamiya was. He found his mind straying to Hanamiya far too often; his look of exasperation when he was called Makoto-chan, the way he could fake tears at will, the wide, mobile mouth, his fondness for sticking his tongue out like a five year…

Invariably, his thoughts would turn to Hanamiya in bed and how good Hanamiya was with his tongue. The boy shared Imayoshi’s tastes, a complicated blend of pain and pleasure where sex wasn’t about the physical pleasure but about the push-pull of control between the two parties.

In the end, Hanamiya’s truest appeal hadn’t been his cruelty or his caprice. It had been his intelligence.


Apart from Hanamiya, there was nobody on Imayoshi’s level. Nobody could scheme like him, nobody could plot like him - nobody could look at his homework and make scornful comments about where to improve it.

More than once, Imayoshi found himself typing in Hanamiya’s email address when he’d meant to contact a teacher or classmate. It wasn’t as if he could demand that Hanamiya come over and visit him, and he certainly couldn’t go back to their middle school but....

The end of the school year came all too slowly and Imayoshi sent Hanamiya a packet of brochures about Touou Academy. He even took the precaution of telling Hanamiya what sort of application letter he should write, though he was sure Hanamiya would have done well on that anyway.

*

Hanamiya went to Kirisaki Daiichi and despite his disappointment, Imayoshi wasn’t surprised.

The boy always had been so fond of shattering dreams.

So a lot of fics have them already having an established relationship by the time they reach high school, but that means they started hooking up in middle school which means even if it was the LAST year of Imayoshi in middle school, Hanamiya would’ve still been a year younger and therefore slightly Creepy Implications about underage, implied sexual experience of underage chars and Hanamiya doing is best to seduce Imayoshi who is 100% convinced this is a bad idea but also that Hanamiya is pretty when he’s hurt.

***

Imayoshi stared down at the boy, somewhere between amused and annoyed.

"No," he said flatly, moving to shut the door on him. Hanamiya stuck his foot between the door and the frame, meaning that Imayoshi would have to crush his foot if he wanted to close the door.

For a second, Imayoshi considered doing just that but then, Hanamiya was on the basketball team as well and he was good at it. It would be a pity to do anything to harm their team's chances.

"Why not?" Hanamiya said, bracing his arm against the doorframe and slipping in under Imayoshi's arm. He moved as swiftly as a splash of water, in Imayoshi's room before Imayoshi could stop the underclassmen.

"I don't need to give you reasons. You're supposed to accept it when someone says no and leave," Imayoshi said, shutting the door after Hanamiya so that nobody would hear the conversation.

"But senpai, would that really be in keeping with the school motto? We never give up," Hanamiya said, hands behind his back and an expression of perfect innocence on his face.

Imayoshi, who knew better than to believe any expression Hanamiya wore (like a starlet, he changed them at will), snorted. "This wasn't what they were referring to."

"You never know." Hanamiya stepped closer, slanting what he no doubt thought was a tempting look from under the dark fringe of his thick black eyelashes. Even Imayoshi had to admit that Hanamiya had pretty eyes; they were grey most of the grey, but not the metallic grey of Imayoshi's eyes. Hanamiya's eyes had a hint of green to them that sometimes came to the forefront, a shifting green-grey hue that was as changeable as Hanamiya himself.

"After all, senpai, it's not as if you were old enough to have been around back then. You're only a year older than me," Hanamiya said, reaching up to caress Imayoshi's face.

Imayoshi smacked his hand away and didn't believe for even a second the hurt that flashed into Hanamiya's eyes.

"You're a year too young to even be thinking of this things, let alone doing them," Imayoshi said calmly with his usual smile.

"Come on," Hanamiya coaxed with a laugh, sliding his hands into his pockets. "You know I've always been precocious."

He let his voice drop, as low as he could get it, and traced his tongue over his lips deliberately. "I'll be the best you've ever had."

Imayoshi shuddered, deliberately twisting his mouth into a scornful curve as he reached out and cupped Hanamiya's cheek, eyes opened wide and watchful before his glasses. "You're disgusting, Makoto-chan."

"And you're turned on," Hanaiya countered, kissing Imayoshi's palm the way that Imayoshi had known he would.

It gave Imayoshi a perfect excuse to slap him and the rise of red to Hanamiya's cheek was more seductive than any pout of his.
