Bonus Round 5: Clue

[referees]

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

Sometimes, all you need are a few little details to imagine something bigger. This round is inspired by a classic board game with a cast of colorful characters, but for SASO your only limits on "who", "where", and "with what" are what you can imagine (and the SASO fandom list, of course)!

This round closes on 5 August @ 7PM EDT. (Countdown Timer.)

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post with the format of a Clue mystery - "[character] in the [location] with [item]", along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
  • Example: Sawamura Daichi in the teachers' lounge with the Hello Kitty! lunchbox
  • The person in your prompt MAY be a member of your ship, but is not REQUIRED to be part of your ship. They must still be a named character from a SASO-nominated fandom.
  • Your place must be a physical location, not a state of being or a state of being. However, this location is not required to be real, nor must it be from the same setting as the characters.
  • The "item" used must be a physical object that the character can hold or manipulate.
  • Unlike the board game, your prompt is NOT required to imply murder. The scenario implied can be anything at all! (As always, please tag properly!)
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your Clue-inspired fanwork.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Tatsuya is good at pretending, but Atsushi knew that from the start. He thought he would be prepared for it but there's nothing in the world that can possibly prepare him for the flutter of his heart when Tatsuya smiles at him like he's the only person in the entire room. Tatsuya's always been good at making people feel special; there's just something about the way that Atsushi feels when he knows that he has Tatsuya's full attention, and he's sure that other people feel it too. He remembers it from when they went to school together, and the briefest conversation would leave girls swooning because for at least that short period of time, he made them feel like they were the only person to mattered to him.

Atsushi thought that he'd know better than to let that get to him here, but he can't help it when Tatsuya's wearing a plain wedding ring that matches the one on his own finger, Tatsuya's fingers curled with Atsushi's as their hands rest on the table, like he can't bear the lack of contact even though they're sitting right beside each other.

As the youngest, Atsushi is the only one of his siblings who hasn't married yet. Pretending he's married to Tatsuya is easier than having to deal with all the questions from his extended family during his father's sixtieth birthday. His parents and siblings are all in on it, and it's easy to pretend anyway, when Tatsuya has known his family for years. They always invite Tatsuya whenever Atsushi comes home to visit and he almost always accepts. Atsushi's bed at his family home is big enough for them both, it's easy to share a room with him when they share an apartment anyway, and everyone in Atsushi's family loves Tatsuya.

"Tatsuya-kun, could you please help me in the kitchen?" Atsushi's mother calls, pulling him from the conversation he's in the middle of, with two of Atsushi's uncles.

"I'll be right back," Tatsuya murmurs to Atsushi, getting up and pressing a kiss to his cheek before walking away.

Atsushi stares as Tatsuya goes, not even realising he's lifted his hand to his cheek until one of his brothers snorts in amusement from across the table.

"You're really in love with your husband, aren't you?" Atsushi's youngest uncle asks, smiling at him.

"I…" Atsushi blinks, looking at his brother, who just laughs at him like he's in on a joke that Atsushi doesn't understand. "…I do. I love him."

He looks down at his ring, turning it on his finger with his thumb, and he's sure that his uncle is saying something, but he isn't processing any of it.

"I gotta go," Atsushi says, rising to his feet, and goes to the kitchen to find Tatsuya.

They have a full hour to go before they need to leave for their date, when Tatsuya sets up in the bathroom.

This is one of Atsushi's favourite parts of date night, because even if he typically just puts some clothes on, brushes his hair, then decides on a nicer set of clothes, Tatsuya's routine is much more complicated. He likes to take a long shower, to moisturise, to style his hair perfectly and put makeup on, and he does the entire thing while the radio blasts through his portable speakers, singing along to every song.

Atsushi's still lying on the couch, lightly dozing while he listens to Tatsuya sing. Atsushi likes his voice, and singing one of several things that Tatsuya knows he's good at. He'll show off for Atsushi sometimes, knowing that he's listening, knowing that it will impress him. There's something about Tatsuya's confidence that Atsushi likes, and he tries to encourage it as often as he can.

Tatsuya's listening to English songs today and Atsushi might not understand the words, but he can definitely appreciate the singing all the same, when it sounds so good. The sound of the shower running drowns out most of Tatsuya's singing, until he can only really hear the radio. Atsushi frowns to himself, lifting his head off the arm of the couch and wondering if Tatsuya will mind being joined in the shower, but he knows that's only going to lead to them getting distracted, and they'll probably end up being late for their dinner reservations.

He waits instead, pleased when Tatsuya comes back out of the shower, still singing along to the songs playing on the radio. The blowdryer drowns him out for a while, but then he's done with his hair and all he needs to do is get dressed and put his makeup on.

Atsushi likes watching this bit, and Tatsuya knows that too. He opens the bathroom door when he's finished getting dressed, and Atsushi gets up from the couch, wandering over to the bathroom.

The bathroom counter has makeup neatly arranged on one side and Atsushi has no idea what any of them are, but he knows Tatsuya likes using all of it. That's enough of a reason for him to like it too.

Tatsuya stops singing for long enough to kiss Atsushi in greeting, leaving him to sit on the edge of the bathtub and watch. It's fascinating, watching as Tatsuya contours his face, adding highlights and then eyeliner to make his grey eyes stand out even more than they already do.

He's always beautiful, but when he's finished with his makeup, he looks breathtaking, like something ethereal, and Atsushi can't help but feel smug at the thought that he's the one walking into the restaurant later tonight with Tatsuya and everyone will know that they're together.

"I didn't put any lipstick on this time," Tatsuya tells him, putting his makeup away and turning to Atsushi with a grin. "So you can kiss me as much as you want."

"Good," Atsushi murmurs and pulls him close, sticking to a small peck on the lips for now so that they actually end up leaving the house. "Shall we go?"

"I love him," Murasakibara confesses, at the end of the night when most people have either left or fallen asleep.

He's at Kuroko's apartment and he might be drunk, but he's still aware of the fact that this being Kuroko's apartment means that it's Kagami's apartment too, and that Kagami's probably around to hear him saying this.

He doesn't care, rubbing his hand over his face and sighing quietly, his chest squeezing when he thinks about Himuro, and the way that they said goodbye to each other months ago, Himuro somehow convinced that Murasakibara would be better off without him.

"I love Muro-chin so much, more than I thought I could love anyone or anything," Murasakibara murmurs. "More than any kind of snacks I could buy. More than anything. It's so annoying that he doesn't get that."

Kuroko hums, propping his chin up with one hand and blinking sleepily at Murasakibara. "I don't know if I'm really qualified to help you, Murasakibara-kun."

Murasakibara sighs, leaning back against the couch and shutting his eyes. "S'okay. I don't think I can help myself, either. I love him but he won't listen to anything I have to say, so there's no way of telling him."

"Uh." Kagami coughs quietly. "I guess I could help? I could talk to him. He… asks about you sometimes."

Murasakibara sits up. "He does?"

"Just… little things," Kagami says, and he sounds unsure of himself, like maybe he isn't meant to be saying this, but Murasakibara doesn't mind, if it means that Himuro still thinks about him, or that Himuro still cares. "He just wants to know how you're doing. Maybe he's looking for proof that you're doing fine without him, the way he thought you would. I… don't really tell him much, because I know you'd hate that, and because it's not really my place to go in between you guys in the first place. If he really wants to, he can find out how you're doing himself."

"But he doesn't," Murasakibara sighs. "So I guess it doesn't matter that much in the end, huh?"

"I don't know about that," Kagami replies, but when Murasakibara prods at him, he doesn't say explain himself at all.

If it wasn't for all the alcohol, Murasakibara would be up all night. Instead, he ends up falling asleep on the couch and waking up with a sore neck and a dull headache from not drinking enough water. He makes his way to the kitchen to pour himself a glass, when a familiar voice makes him stop in his tracks.

"You didn't tell me that he'd be here." It's Himuro, standing right there in the kitchen.

"I said that he was over last night, and that you might want to come over," Kagami replies. "I thought you'd figure it out."

"Taiga, you have to prepare me for these things." Himuro sounds frustrated. "I can't just… walk into your apartment and see him sleeping there on the couch and then, what, move along with my life like I don't want to just reach over and stroke my fingers through his hair? Tuck him in? Fall asleep beside him?"

"You wouldn't both fit on the couch," Kagami says dismissively. "And what I'm saying is, maybe you don't just move along with your life like you don't want to do all of those things, because you obviously do."

"And what about Atsushi?" Himuro asks, and Murasakibara realises that just like Kagami doesn't tell him anything about Himuro, he doesn't tell Himuro anything about him either. It's something they need to work out on their own.

"I want it too," Murasakibara speaks up, walking into the kitchen. Himuro freezes up, turning to him with surprise. Murasakibara keeps his distance, standing in the entry of the kitchen and not moving any closer. "You didn't listen to me when I said it before, but at least listen to me now. I don't want anyone else, and I don't want any other kind of life. I just want to be with you. That's enough."

"You won't get bored of it?" Himuro asks quietly.

Murasakibara shakes his head. "Never."

At first, Atsushi's happy enough just standing there. It's an easy job, even if the outfit he has to wear looks terrible. He doesn't have to do any tricks this way, he doesn't need to call people to actually come into the tent, he just needs to stand there with a bucket full of candy and tell people that they'll get some if they go in to see all the circus tricks that his group are performing inside.

It's the perfect kind of job for him, and Akashi even tells him that he can have a piece of candy himself for every five people that he brings into the circus tent.

Except they have a rival tent pitched just across from them. It's not any bigger than theirs and it doesn't look particularly flashy, but it immediately becomes the more popular one and it has everything to do with the guy they put out the front. His name's Tatsuya and his outfit is almost as bad as Atsushi's, but his smile is beautiful and he juggles four balls in the air, not even having to watch them as he smiles at the people walking past him at the fair, urging them to come inside and see the rest of the tricks that his circus has to offer. Most people walk towards him from the moment he makes eye contact with them and Atsushi begrudgingly admits to himself that he understands the appeal. He'd probably walk over too, if he was allowed to. The guy constantly makes eye contact with him, too, smiling at him as if he understands what Atsushi's dealing with, as if they're on the same side.

Atsushi knows better. He's going to crush his competition. The first step is to learn how to juggle.

It's how Tatsuya finds him on his break, behind the circus tent, trying and failing to juggle just three balls. He hasn't even gotten up to four yet.

"Do you want me to teach you?" Tatsuya asks, and Atsushi drops all three of his balls with surprise.

"You're not meant to be back here, go sit at the back of your own tent," Atsushi replies.

Tatsuya smiles. "Here. I'll show you."

He pulls all four of his juggling balls out of the pockets of his oversized pants, and throws them into the air, juggling slowly and talking Atsushi through it as he does so. Atsushi is jealous that he can pay attention to what he's doing while also explaining it. He knows that if it were him, he'd drop them the moment he looked away.

"All you need to do is practice," Tatsuya tells him with a smile. "Keep practicing until it comes naturally to you."

Atsushi would much rather practice other things with Tatsuya, but he keeps the thought to himself. He steps closer to Tatsuya and looks down at him, frowning in consideration.

Before he can even issue a challenge, Tatsuya smiles at him and says, "How about this? If you learn how to juggle all four of those balls by the end of the week, I'll take you out for dinner."

"Deal," Atsushi replies immediately, and doesn't even care if he sounds too eager, because Tatsuya looks just as pleased.

The night is warm enough to be pleasant, and the streets are lined with stalls, the crowds bustling in between them, the air already rich with the smell of food and the sound of laughter.

Atsushi has never really been fond of crowds. Despite being tall enough to look over most people's heads, he's never liked the feeling of people being too close to him for his liking. When the crowd leading to the matsuri means that Tatsuya is pressed up against his side, however, he can't quite bring himself to mind as much.

Tatsuya is incredibly excited. He links one arm with Atsushi's so that they don't lose each other, and with the other, he points out all the stalls that he wants to visit. He wants to play all the games, eat all the snacks, and Atsushi can respect that. It's been years since Tatsuya has been to a proper matsuri; Atsushi wants to make sure that he has the best experience possible.

"We're allowed to wander around and do our own thing for a while, before we meet up with the rest of the team so we can watch the fireworks together," Tatsuya says, sliding his hand down from Atsushi's arm to comfortably hold his hand instead. "Where do you want to go first?"

Atsushi hums in thought, looking around and picking the most enticing food stand he can see. They start with okonomiyaki and work their way around to every other food stall there is, stopping here and there when Tatsuya comes across a game that he wants to play. It doesn't surprise Atsushi that he's good at all of them, or that he treats them as seriously as he would treat any game of basketball.

"Don't you ever get tired of putting all that effort into everything you do?" Atsushi complains, as Tatsuya walks away from a shooting game with a giant bear plush.

Tatsuya laughs. "I never do."

Atsushi snorts quietly as they keep walking. "I guess that it wouldn't be you otherwise, and that wouldn't be any fun."

Tatsuya smiles at him, and they keep going, until the sun starts to set and the sky begins to darken.

"Hey," Atsushi says, taking Tatsuya by the hand and pulling. "Before we go meet up with everyone else, I wanted to do something."

Tatsuya raises an eyebrow, following him without question, until they've walked far enough from the matsuri that they're alone. Atsushi produces a firework from his pocket, and a lighter with the other, holding them both up.

"I know you had fireworks in America all the time because they really like them over there, but this is your first time going to see the fireworks here. I… wanted to be the first."

Tatsuya smiles, as Atsushi sets the sparkler burning, taking it from Atsushi's hand and holding it up.

"Thank you, Atsushi," he murmurs. "For this, and for all of tonight. I had fun."

"Me too," Atsushi murmurs, kissing the top of Tatsuya's head. He knew he would, but he's surprised by just how much. "Because it was with you."

....what even is this. okay, so i've done an Avengers (2012) au with Hinata as a random lucky bystander, Kageyama as Thor(?), Noya as Iron Man, Tanaka as Captain America, Tsukki as Black Widow, Yamaguchi as Hawkeye, Asahi as Hulk, and Daichi as Nick Fury. Although not explicitly mentioned in this fic, Suga is Maria Hill and Kiyoko is Coulson. Or vice versa. Still couldn't decide on that. Anyway, here you go, idk what this is but.... *slides it across the table* enjoy?

***

"Um... I think you dropped this?"

Kageyama wasn't sure what he’d expected to see when he turned around on the alien-ravaged street, but it certainly wasn't this.

Standing a few feet away was a kid. He looked physically about the same age as Kageyama, if humans were to age at the same rate as Asgardians. His hair was bright orange and sticking up at impossible angles, his eyes wide and brown, but this wasn't what made him remarkable. No, the thing that had Kageyama staring was the object that this kid was holding in his hand.

Mjolnir. He was holding Mjolnir.

"How are you doing that?" Kageyama asked, pointing at his hammer in disbelief and, if he's honest, a little bit of betrayal. He was supposed to be the worthy one, after all.

"Doing what?" the kid asked. He trotted forward and held out the hammer for Kageyama to take, which he did.

"You're not supposed to be able to lift Mjolnir," Kageyama said.

"Oh, Um. Sorry?"

"Whoa!! Did I just see what I thought I saw?" came a voice from above. Suddenly Noya was dropping from the sky, landing on the street so hard that his metal boots made cracks in the pavement.

"What did you see?" Tanaka climbed over a pile of rubble, his shield strapped to his back. "Did you find another alien thing? I thought the one we found at Grand Central was the last one."

"It wasn't an alien," Yamaguchi said, appearing at the entrance of a collapsed subway tunnel with Tsukki by his side. He bent down to grab a stray arrow and shove it in his quiver. "That kid lifted Kageyama's hammer. I saw it."

"...What's the big deal about this hammer?" the kid asked. Then he paused. "Are you guys... superheroes?"

They all looked at each other for a moment.

"I guess so?" said Noya. "...Are you?"

The kid shook his head.

"Do you want to be?" Tanaka asked, and Kageyama glared at him. Immediately, Tanaka put his hands up in a defensive gesture. "Hey! I'm just saying, it might be nice to have someone else around who can lift that thing. Teamwork, and all that."

Kageyama frowned. "But he doesn't have any powers."

"Neither do I," Tsukki said. "If powers were a prerequisite, then God help the Avengers, because you'd be dead if Yamaguchi and I weren't here."

"Hey, I don't have powers either!" Noya butt in. Tsukki ignored him and went back to helping Yamaguchi retrieve his arrows.

Noya turned to the kid. "What's your name?"

Oh! Um, I'm Hinata Shouyou!"

"Nice to meet you, Hinata," said Tanaka. He hopped down from a large piece of rubble and extended his hand. "So, you don't have powers?"

"No..." Hinata said, "but I can jump pretty high? And, um. I've got pretty fast reflexes."

Tanaka grinned. "And you can lift Myeh-myeh."

"It's Mjolnir—"

"Yeah. Myeh-myeh," Tanaka repeated. He pointed at the hammer in question. "You know, most people can't even budge that hammer, so you're pretty special for being able to lift it."

"Really?" Hinata's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, really. You wanna come with us back to HQ? I'm sure the boss would love to get his hands on new recruits."

"Sure! I'm pretty sure school is cancelled now, so I don't really have anywhere to go...."

"I found you guys!" A voice from down the road made everyone turn to look. Asahi was jogging towards them wearing what looked like a bathrobe. Once he'd gotten within a few yards of the group, he slowed to a stop, resting his hands on his knees and panting. "I, um.... Sorry I took so long.... I couldn't find.... clothes."

"You didn't miss too much," Noya said, adjusting his helmet under his arm. "All we did is recruit a new team member. Hinata, this is Hulk—"

"Actually, I'm Asahi...."

"He doesn't look like much, but he's pretty intimidating when he turns huge and green."

Hinata looked like he was about too explode, his whole face practically glowing. "That's so cool!"

"Hey," Tsukki interrupted, pressing one finger to the comm piece in his ear. "Daichi is calling us. He wants us to head back to the hellicarrier."

"Don't worry, Hinata," Asahi said kindly. "Daichi seems a little scary when you first meet him, but... he's actually very caring when you get to know him."

"Are we really bringing him back?" Kageyama asked, his frown deepening. He stared balefully at his hammer.

"Looks like it," Yamaguchi said. "Here—I called a quinjet for us. ETA two minutes."

"It's your lucky day, Hinata," Noya said. "You're going to be a superhero!"

"Awesome!"

And so they all left the battle-torn streets of New York with one more person than they started with, much to Kageyama's irritation. This was going to be a nightmare.

"These are yours," Nishina said, holding out a pair of goggles.

"What?"

"They're yours. You left them after the Interhigh."

"Why are you giving them to me? I don't swim anymore." Kawasaki turned away, and that should have been the end of the conversation, except Nishina had never been one for giving up. Nishina grabbed Kawasaki's sleeve and pulled him back.

"What are you doing!?" Kawasaki demanded. "I'm not an athlete anymore. I don't need them, and I don't know why you kept them."

"I kept them for you! I looked up to you, you know. We all did. And then after the Interhigh you just left. No coming back to watch practices. Nothing. You were just gone. I heard nothing from you for two years, and then suddenly you reappear as the coach for Higashigaoka. That doesn't sound like not an athlete anymore to me."

"You don't know anything," Kawasaki snapped, yanking his sleeve out of Nishina's hand. "Don't talk about things you don't know."

"I know more than you think," Nishina replied. "I didn't then, but Coach told me about it after you showed for that first practice meet. And most of us suspected anyway."

"Then you know I'm not getting back in the pool. It's over. That's over, and there's no going back."

"I don't think you mean that. You say you're done with swimming, but it's not done with you. You wouldn't be coaching Higashigaoka otherwise."

"I coach," Kawasaki said. "I don't swim. There's a difference."

"There's a difference because you want there to be one. You're drawing this hard line so you can keep trying to act like the past is behind you and you've moved on. Well guess what? You haven't, and you're only hurting yourself." Nishina hand thudded into Kawasaki's chest, still holding onto the goggles. "Get back in the damn pool, Ryouya-san. It's time."

"I'm. Not. An. Athlete."

"Maybe not, but you're a swimmer. You can try to run away all you like, but you're not going to change that."

"Can I be a swimmer without being an athlete?" Kawasaki's voice was softer now, and more hesitant that Nishina had ever heard him.

"Only you can answer that," Nishina said, "but I think somewhere, deep down, you already know. There's a spare swimsuit in my locker; I think we're about the same size. I'll be here for another half hour at least."

Kawasaki didn't reply, but when he left, he took his goggles with him.

Nishina let out a long sigh as he slipped into the pool. There was nothing left for him to do except wait, but he suspected he'd have company again before he left. Or maybe he just hoped for the company. It was hard to tell sometimes.

There’s an easy peacefulness here in the cove, and not for the first time Daichi is glad that he lives so close to the shore. The sun and sand are warm, and the dunes and crop of dangerous looking rocks keep most casual beachgoers away from this particular area, which makes it the perfect place when Daichi needs somewhere to hide. And with his aunt and three tiny cousins practically taking over his house for the summer, Daichi finds himself needing to hide quite a bit.

Luckily it’s warm and quiet in the isolated area, and Daichi slips in between the rocks at the hidden entrance with practiced ease. He settles on the sand, digging his feet in and sighing at the chance to finally relax for more than ten seconds. He watches the waves splash up on the beach, only a couple of feet from where he sits, and he knows he’ll have to move soon if he doesn’t want to get wet when the tide comes in.

It’s perfect, for a while, and then Daichi feels like he has to move, so he gets up and walks around the space, poking at the sand. He finds a few pieces of pretty seaglass that his sister would like, and a couple of small seashells, and he puts them in a little pile to take when he leaves. He walks over to the jetty, a bit of rock that sticks out from the shore into the deeper waters, and considers going out to sit there instead when he almost trips over something. He looks down to find a conch shell, perfectly whole, the size of his palm, pink and sand colored and glistening in the bright sun.

He brushes off the sand and looks it over as he walks down the jetty, and at the end he sits, legs dangling over the edge into the water. There’s a movement in front of him, and he glances up distractedly only to meet the gaze of someone in the ocean, silver haired and smiling softly. He notices Daichi’s gaze and swims closer, grinning, and Daichi catches sight of dangerously sharp teeth. There’s also twin lines of spiky scales going down either side of his neck, and his hand, when he lifts it to wave, ends in delicate claws.

“Hello. I’m Suga.” The voice that comes out is melodic but rough, and has an intriguing quality that has Daichi wanting to hear more.

“Hi. Daichi. Where’d you come from?”

He tilts his head and lets out what Daichi thinks is supposedly to be a laugh, scratchy and odd. “The ocean, of course. Where did you think?”

Daichi nods. “Of course.” He looks a little closer, where he can just barely see a sizable tail, shades of silver and blue, though Daichi doesn’t know what is the actual color and not just the haze of the water. “I’ve never seen you before, and I’ve been here a lot. Have you been hiding?”

“Sort of.” Suga nods toward the shell in Daichi’s hands, his fingers still brushing the sand off of its surface absentmindedly. “You found my shell.”

“Ah. Magic?” Daichi looks at it a little closer, admires the swirling pattern of the colors, and how smooth it is to the touch.

“Yes.” Suga pushes himself up, and leans his elbows on Daichi’s thighs, looking closely into his face, apparently searching for something. He nods decisively. “You can keep it. Normally we kill people who see things they’re not supposed to, but I like you.”

Daichi gapes, he can’t help it, and it occurs to him that he stumbled his way into a potentially dangerous situation. “Um. Thank you?”

“For now.” The look on Suga’s face is dark, and then it lightens and he laughs, again, and Daichi takes note of the sharp teeth once more. He’s fully convinced that it would be disturbingly easy for Suga to get rid of him, and though he’s not sure why Suga likes him, he’s grateful nonetheless.

Suga does something that makes the shell even smaller and instructs him to not let anyone else have the shell, to keep it a secret if he can, and Daichi agrees. They spend the rest of the afternoon trading stories about their lives, enraptured in fascination. Suga waves a cheerful goodbye when Daichi leaves, his claws glinting in the dying sunlight, and when Daichi gets home he threads a leather band through a hole in the shell. He wraps it around his throat, close to himself where no one can get to it without him knowing, and looks forward to the next time he sees his new friend.

“You’re gonna have to pay for cab fare,” says Taiga, munching on the third burger.

By this point he’s stopped automatically reaching for the top bun to take out the pickles, just shoveling burgers into his mouth, occasionally offering one over to Daiki on the opposite side of the table.

“Why? Because you’re going to be too fucking sick to pull out your wallet? I can reach into your pocket.”

“I spent the last of my cash on the burgers.”

“You spent your cab fare on this shit,” Daiki says, not even bothering to raise his voice.

“I’m hungry!”

Taiga continues to shovel food into his mouth; at this point Daiki’s amazed all over again how much he can eat, how they’d eaten actual dinner half an hour ago and Taiga can just down Bic Mac after Big Mac effortlessly. He tries not to think about nutrition, about everything through the roof (sodium, fat, calories, carbs, all those fucking preservative chemicals) and how Taiga seems to suffer no ill effects (other than, you know, emptying out his entire wallet). Daiki sighs, but continues nibbling on his own burger. It is pretty good for McDonalds’s, he’ll admit. But it ain’t that good.

“Fine, but you owe me,” says Daiki.

“I’ll pay you back tomorrow when I have more cash,” says Taiga.

“When we get home.”

“I’m your boyfriend. I don’t cook or perform sexual favors for fucking cab fare.”

“You’re the one who suggested that.”

Taiga gives him a very unimpressed look, continue to chew on one of the last few burgers.

“Taiga…” Daiki’s whining now; he doesn’t care.

“It’s late; I’m tired; maybe I’ll do both for you tomorrow and then I’ll pay you back after I go out.”

“You're the best,” says Daiki.

“I’m doing this because I want to,” says Taiga. “Like I said, I’m your boyfriend. I like cooking you food, and I like when you like it, and you’re the only person I want to have sex with.”

This is very sweet, but they’re also in McDonald’s; Daiki feels his face growing hot; he wants to stare into his Sprite and he also wants to kiss Taiga until he forgets about the remaining Big Macs.

“Could have chosen a more romantic spot,” Daiki mutters, looking up at him.

Taiga’s blushing; at least he realizes it. It hasn’t stopped him from eating, though; Daiki supposes that there’s not much that will.
