SASO 2015 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

PLAY BALL! For this round, we'd like you to take inspiration from songs, sayings, poems, and other kinds of famous words.

Because this is our first full round, please read this post carefully before proceeding!

This round ends at 7PM on June 13 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here!" -Kermit the Frog
- The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.

I am sorry. I dreamed of this for whatever reason and then had to find a prompt to fit with it and you’re the (un)lucky winner! So sorry.

When Manami shows up at his family inn, the week after his second-year Interhigh, Toudou knows immediately that something’s wrong. He just knows. There’s something off about Manami’s rictus smile, his wandering eyes. But getting information out of Manami is like trying to poison a rat – little nibbles, little tidbits, but he’ll never say what’s in his head until he decides it’s time. So Toudou plays his part, chases Manami up and down the mountains and laughs and jokes, and waits.

It’s not until they’re lying in bed together, after a particularly rowdy roll in the sheets that had them both gasping laughter and each other’s names, that he ventures to ask. It’s probably something about the Interhigh, Toudou figures, because Manami was upset about the last one, too, and even if things have changed in the last year, even if Manami and their entire team has improved immensely, there are still mistakes, still things you need to improve, and he knows Manami feels that all keenly. Manami hums in response to his question, neither confirming nor denying, and though it’s frustrating Toudou knows that’s just his way. He’ll speak when he’s ready. In the meantime, he tries to comfort. “Well, you still have next year.”

“Probably not for me,” Manami says conversationally. “I’m dying.”

Toudou turns to look at him, but Manami is staring at the ceiling – or perhaps through it, through the floors above and through the roof to look at the stars. He has a little grin playing about his mouth, like he’s just told a clever joke.

“I’ve been dying for a long time now, you see.”

“Well,” Toudou starts cautiously, playing – praying – for the philosophy. “We all are.”

Manami laughs at that, a bright twinkling. “Very thoughtful, Toudou-san. But I believe my expiration date is a bit sooner than yours. It’s been bumped up. Or so the doctors tell me.”

“Oh?” Toudou says, carefully neutral. Neutralize the change in heart rate, neutralize the ringing in his ears, neutral, neutral.

“Yep!” Manami’s voice is falsely cheerful. He lifts his hands above his head to stare through his splayed fingers. “It used to be in my blood. When I was a kid, you know? We thought it was gone, but!” He claps his hands for emphasis. “It’s back now! In my bones, this time.” His hands fall back to the bed, grip at the blankets. “I think, this time, it’s going to kill me for sure. My legs hurt.”

Toudou clears his throat. There’s something caught there, some little devil stuck to his vocal cords to keep him from speaking. It’s a tricky devil, and it takes him a few moments to fight it off. “There’s treatment, though, right?” he finally gets out. “They can fix it.”

“Maybe,” Manami says, and his voice loses the sing-song happiness. It’s flat. Dark. “There’s a lot, though. I thought I was just tired and sore from training. I didn’t realize.” His voice is pleading, now, pleading to the ceiling or the stars or who knows what. “I didn’t realize.”

Manami’s like a fountain now, spewing his thoughts and worries and Toudou has never heard him this forthright, and it frightens him. “It makes my bones brittle. They get all weak and lumpy and they crack and soon it’ll get worse. I won’t be able to ride my bike anymore.”

That’s the worst of all. Toudou can hear it in Manami’s voice, in the controlled blankness, the barely-perceptible shudder. His own gut sours at the thought of having to stop riding – having to stop because his body has betrayed him. In the blue-black nighttime light, he can’t think of anything worse.

This isn’t fair, Toudou thinks suddenly. Not for anyone, but especially for Manami, for their own little Wonder Boy with the sky in his eyes. It’s clipping his wings – no, nothing so tame, it’s ripping them out at the root – and it’s not. Fair. They don’t deserve this. Manami doesn’t deserve this.

Finally, Manami turns to look at him, and Toudou can barely stand to meet his gaze. “Until then, Toudou-san, will you climb with me?”

“Yes. Always. As much as we can,” Toudou promises, wanting to give him something, anything to make this even a little bit better.

“I’m glad.” Manami leans his head back and closes his eyes. His voice is light and airy again. Nonchalant, or pretending to be.

“When I can’t climb anymore, I’m going to kill myself.”

“Don’t,” Toudou blurts out, startled into sitting. “Please don’t.”

Manami is looking at him, surprised by the outburst, surprised that Toudou cares – and this kid is an idiot, Toudou thinks, for not realizing that people love him. That Toudou loves him.

“But I have to,” he says, so matter-of-fact that Toudou has to bite his cheek to keep in a sob. “I won’t have any other choice. I can’t watch you climb without me. You, or Yuuto-kun, or Sakamichi-kun, or Teshima-san… So it’s the only other choice.”

“It’s not, it can’t be, we’ll figure something out,” Toudou babbles, half-desperate. Manami watches, smiles, then puts a hand on Toudou’s arm. Trying to comfort him, and that’s so fucked up that Toudou cuts off mid-word. So he cries instead.

“What if I stop?” he asks – begs – through the tears and snot. “If I stop when you – when you do, and I’ll wait until you’re better, and then I’ll pull you up Mount Hakone, the very first day you can get on a bike again – if I wait for you, will you wait for me?”

Manami refuses to promise him anything. Toudou lies back down beside him, sniffling. They stare at the ceiling together.

“Toudou-san?” Manami says later, quiet, vulnerable. “I’m scared.” His mouth wobbles. Instantly, Toudou rolls to curl himself around Manami – careful of his legs, don’t hurt his legs – and he tucks Manami’s head under his chin, wraps his arms around Manami’s shoulders and waist and presses them together so he can feel his heartbeat in Manami’s jaw and Manami’s in his ribs. They’re beating fast, too fast, Toudou knows, but they’re beating together.

“Don’t leave me behind,” Toudou whispers into his hair, and Manami sobs a laugh before repeating the words back.

“Don’t leave me behind.”

but i guess the real question is is his dick in the cake

Kuroo Tetsurou/Oikawa Tooru; Haikyuu!!

Venom

by Bianca Spriggs

I am no longer of the persuasion that people should toss
around the phrase 'dead serious' merely to ensure
they have your full attention. Because to be that serious
means something in you is convinced that at that moment,
you are deadly. I did not know this until a brief but intense
dialogue one night on the phone, about what I might do
with a pistol and some hydrochloric acid if he ever betrayed me.
I could actually feel my eyes turning another color,
taste something new flickering in the saliva beneath my tongue.
But I went way past 'I might have to snatch her up by her scalp,'
to the tranquil madness of knowing exactly what I will do
should the opportunity ever present itself. The next instant
it was almost over. He was laughing. I was laughing.
But our laughs did not sound the same. And they stopped
when I said, I am dead. Serious. Baby. That night, I went to sleep
knowing I am a different sort of woman than my mother.

I love how you play along with my bad ideas,
before you grow up and realize they are bad ideas.
(And in our times together I have many bad ideas.)
When we meet as adults you’re always much more discerning. I don’t blame you.
Yet, always, you forgive me.
As if you understand what’s going on, and you’re making up for
all the lifetimes in which one of us doesn’t exist,
and the ones where we just, barely, never meet.
I hate those. I prefer the ones in which you kill me.
But when all’s said and done, I’d surrender to you in other ways.

Makishima/Tadokoro (Yowapeda)

the party was loud and obnoxious, but we were both thrilled to be going together, and even though he could have danced or spoken or laughed with anyone there, he chose to sink into the caved-in sofa in the corner with me and play with my hair as I curled up on his lap.

and everything became background noise to our little conversation and nothing else mattered, and we both got contact high and dizzy and I remember pulling him into an inescapable embrace in the car when we got home and saying "I love you" over and over like I couldn't stop, and I started giggling like a kid. and he responded by holding me tighter and refusing to let me go, even as the car idled and the rain blew in the side door.

and that was the night I knew I was in love with him. and I'm never going to let him go.
