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.

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).

Kagami is the furthest thing from smooth that Aomine wants to be offended by it. He is offended, on some level, considering that he's standing there on an empty basketball court, after Kagami kissed him, freaked out, and then ran for it, apparently in so much of a hurry to get away that he didn't even stop to pick up the shoe that fell off in his hurry.

Aomine bends to pick it up and for a wild moment, considers just keeping it. Technically, it's his shoe anyway. It's part of the pair that Momoi made him give up. That would be weird though, and probably even weirder now that they've kissed. He should do something, probably; chase Kagami down and return his shoe, or return his kiss, or maybe even do both.

Instead, he's just standing there, his mind still trying to wrap itself around the fact that Kagami's kissed him in the first place. They were playing a one on one, as usual. There was nothing out of ordinary about this game, nothing to even signal that maybe Kagami would try to kiss him at the end of it. But here they are, and Aomine is still stuck standing there in the basketball court with his indecision.

"Fuck," he mutters to himself, and sprints after Kagami.

They've been playing together for long enough that Aomine is pretty sure that he understands the way Kagami thinks. If he can predict Kagami's moves when they're in the middle of a game, then surely it won't be that difficult to figure out where to find him. He stops at the corner of the street, looking around. He knows there's a Maji Burger just another street down, but Kagami's still missing his shoe. He'd probably be too mortified to walk in there with just one shoe, to hide from Aomine until the coast was clear. He'd probably go right home instead, and Aomine doesn't have to think twice before he's heading there, running through the streets, past pedestrians walking too slowly for his liking, until he's standing at Kagami's door, hunched over and panting, still holding onto Kagami's shoe.

He knocks loudly and waits. He'd hold his breath, if he didn't need it so badly. Ideally, he'd be better than a sweaty, panting mess on Kagami's doorstep but, well. Kagami's the one who ran in the first place. He's just going to have to deal.

Kagami finally opens the door, just a crack so he can peer through, and then opening it further. "Uh. Hey."

Aomine sighs heavily, walking into Kagami's apartment and dropping the shoe by the door. "You're a real asshole, you know."

With that, he pulls Kagami close and kisses him back.

This time, neither of them run. It's an improvement.

There was this guy that Daiki didn't know who jumped into a street basketball game he was running with a few other guys from the neighborhood. He was big and as tall as Daiki, with a shock of red-black hair and weird eyebrows. He also wore a surgical mask that covered the lower half of his face. He played well -- not as well as Daiki, of course, but who could? -- and soon enough the others had dropped away, leaving Daiki and the stranger to face off by themselves.

“Ha!” Daiki exclaimed as he sank the winning shot into a lazy game of twenty-one against his opponent. He turned and grinned at him. “You're pretty good, but you gotta bust your ass if you want to beat me.”

The guy grinned -- his mask had fallen off within five minutes of playing -- and then glance down at his phone. He paled and said, “Shit, how is it almost midnight? I gotta go.” He began to stuff his jacket and other things into his bag. An extra sneaker popped out and hit the ground, but the guy didn't seemed notice. He was gone before Daiki had time to grab the sneaker and give it to -- well, no one.

He was alone at the street court with a black sneaker in his hand and no clue as to who it belonged to.

*

When Daiki saw Kagami for the first time, he recognized him immediately. He'd heard of Kagami since the beginning of the school year, of course, especially when Seirin had gone on to defeat Kaijou in the practice game and then played against Midorima’s Shutokou. But none of that mattered right now.

That was the guy. The guy he'd been looking for for almost a year now, to the torment of his other teammates -- that guy who had made basketball almost fun for the first time in a long time.

That guy was Kagami.

“Hey! You!” Daiki shouted, pointing to Kagami. He looked kind of stunned to be yelled at like that, and so did the rest of Seirin -- Tetsu, meanwhile, looked merely resigned -- but Daiki didn't care. “I still have your sneaker!”

If he'd had the shoe with him and not at home with the rest of his sneaker collection, Daiki would've chucked it at his head.

*

“Not exactly Prince Charming, are you?” Kagami said, smirking at him. Daiki scowled, licking off a fleck of sweat that stole across his lip. They were going against each other hard and it was great, it was amazing, it was everything he wanted.
