Bonus Round 5: Clue
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)!
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.

Oh my god, I'm sorry, I just now realized you said classroom and not club room. :'''D. I hope this is okay?
***
As has somehow become tradition, the third years are last to leave the club room after practice. Matsukawa is leisurely reclined in a chair that will tip over and throw him to the ground if he so much as breathes wrong, Hanamaki is sprawled on the floor from exhaustion (and a serious case of the Extras), Iwaizumi is leafing through a volleyball magazine, and their illustrious captain Oikawa is pacing for no reason evident to any of them.
“Oikawa, I’m getting tired just looking at you. Stop pacing,” Matsukawa drawls, throwing a kneepad in Oikawa’s direction. The momentum from his throw nearly pushes his chair backwards and he jerks forward to save himself. Hanamaki, who had been previously engaged in waiting for the right moment to photograph Matsukawa’s impending death, starts laughing. Oikawa cackles with delight.
“Such is the balance of things, my dear Mattsun!” he says, earning himself a flat look. Iwaizumi snorts at Oikawa.
“You’re a wise old sage now, are you?” he asks, looking up from his magazine.
“I always have been, Iwa-chan, but it’s not like someone as thick-headed as you would notice!” Oikawa says haughtily, and enjoys yet another unimpressed look, this one from Iwaizumi. Hanamaki just makes distressed sounds from the floor.
The room returns to a comfortable silence, one cultivated from three years of volleyball and friendship.
Oikawa finally sits down and rifles through his bag as loudly as a person possibly can. Hanamaki fixes him with a withering glare, but it goes largely unnoticed. He mumbles, “Typical.”
“Yes!” Oikawa then exclaims, dramatically revealing the box of pocky he found in his bag. He briefly entertains the thought of eating the snack like a normal person, but soon changes his mind.
“If you—” Matsukawa threatens like he has read Oikawa’s mind, and by this point, it’s almost like he has.
“Let’s play the pocky game!” Oikawa puts the box down on the table, smiling.
“No,” Iwaizumi says simply.
Just to drive Iwaizumi insane, Hanamaki agrees, and finally moves to an actual chair.
“Yeah, why not,” says Matsukawa in his perpetually bored tone.
“Come on, Iwa-chan,” Hanamaki taunts, dodging a smack aimed for the side of his head. “Come play! Don’t be a spoilsport.”
“I get to pick who does it first, since it’s my pocky,” Oikawa says, and everyone agrees. Hanamaki and Matsukawa assume he’s going to pick himself and Iwaizumi, but are both shocked when he puts the box in front of Hanamaki.
“Uh,” Hanamaki says eloquently.
“You and Mattsun.” Oikawa leans across the table, chin in his hands. “Go.”
Even Iwaizumi is interested at this point, though he’s trying not to show it. Matsukawa, having mastered his poker face, doesn’t show a single emotion. On the inside, however, he is panicking; Oikawa did this on purpose. Matsukawa vows to never, ever, ever, ever tell Oikawa a secret ever again.
By the time Matsukawa’s inner monologue has finished, Hanamaki already has a stick dangling from his mouth and a mischievous smile on his lips.
“Let’s go, Eyebrows. Show these children how it’s done,” he drawls, turning his chair towards Matsukawa. Truth be told, Hanamaki is also feigning being casual. It’s working pretty well, he thinks, since his voice didn’t waver once while he was speaking. He has only wanted to kiss Matsukawa and/or love him forever for the past three years of his life. This is no big deal at all. He also makes a mental note to murder Oikawa once this is done for setting him up like this. He’ll have to kill Iwaizumi first, though, as his retribution would be swift and painful.
“Makki?” Matsukawa asks with a smirk, waving a hand in front of Hanamaki’s face. “Anyone in there?”
“Nope, never has been. You ready?” Hanamaki mentally high-fives himself for the excellent recovery, then steels himself for what he’s about to do.
Matsukawa scoots forward in his chair as Hanamaki leans in, heart hammering against his ribcage. He might die here, but it will be worth it. Hanamaki has left an embarrassingly small amount of the pocky stick for him to bite, but he supposes it’ll be fine.
They’re really close friends.
It’ll be fine.
Hanamaki’s eyes cross trying to track Matsukawa’s face getting closer to his as he leans in, and somewhere in the thick of it, he’s stopped breathing. Matsukawa is holding his breath too, but the worst is nearly over. He just has to bite down and he can stop sweating like he’s run laps.
The funniest part about the entire scenario is the fact that Iwaizumi, who acts like he has no idea about or interest in anything relating to interpersonal relationships, is the one who gently shoves Matsukawa’s back. He doesn’t even bother with an “oops” when Matsukawa finds himself suddenly very attached to Hanamaki via his mouth. Hanamaki nearly swallows the pocky whole from shock but manages to recover when Matsukawa pulls back, looking equally as shocked. Once they’ve pulled back from their accidental kiss, they stare at each other, oblivious to Oikawa and Iwaizumi’s faces of glee.
“Finally,” Iwaizumi mutters, not particularly concerned that everyone can hear him. Hanamaki and Matsukawa turn to stare at him, mouths hanging open. If Iwaizumi—They round on Oikawa, who has the decency to look at least a tiny bit guilty.
“I’m sorry! You just both—”
“We are going to kill you. Right, Mattsun?” Hanamaki turns to Matsukawa, who nods enthusiastically.
“Death. Definitely death in your future,” he adds, but he feels Hanamaki’s hand brush his. It does little to make his facial expression more intimidating, but definitely helps his heart flutter.
Oikawa starts to make his way towards the club room door, fearing for his life.
Iwaizumi laughs because he knows they won’t come after him.
