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.

- 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.

Fukutomi & Manami, yowamushi pedal

Gave you a minute
When you needed an hour
Just to push it aside
Instead of leaving it behind you
If any word that I said
Could have made you forget
I'd have given you them all
But it was all in your head
-Broods, Bridges

Major tags: Spoilers (first interhigh)
Additional tags: Nonbinary character, manami re: fuku things is my own personal hell and I will never be able to convey how sad I get about it oh dear lord, i didnt even get into mental illness in this drabble and im so sad about it but i wanted to keep it kinda specific in terms of thought, hell hell hell
Word count: 452

Manami was full of questions for people, as full as they were of doubt and distance and discontent for sitting in a room filled with people for a practice they had no interest in following.

So though they would stare at Fukutomi as though he was not anything more than a passing curiosity, they appreciated him, as far as he went in their own affairs. If he would not yell at them for not attending practice, they were content. If he would not pressure them to fit to regimens they gained nothing from, they could feel free. And if he would ask them, why they did anything they did, and accept their answer with a nod - if he would place a hand on their back, with absolute faith, and grant them permission to take the only thing that mattered to them - they would follow his leadership to the grave.

He had an attachment to winning far different than their own, but he understood, how important it was. There was a special honesty between them, one that they would feel pointless to extend to most people, because too many had never understood how important that line was.

"Do you like the summit, captain?"

Rare training sessions, when he would observe their form, assure himself of their growth, felt like an audience with a king.

"Any line of victory is acceptable. The place is not important."

Manami laughed, gentle, passively mocking in a way he never noticed. "Sure it is! Besides, it's really pretty, even without a race. We should visit one again, some day. I could teach you all about it." They didn't actually want to, but small talk was important, even when nothing they said meant a thing.

"The way you hold your back is inefficient." He pressed a hand to their lower back, another at their collarbone, inadvertently pressing his fingers into bruises, and they had to bite their tongue to hold back a sharp wince. "If you hold your form this way, your wind resistance will better decrease in groups. You are not going to always ride solo."

"Yes, sir."

"If it is difficult, you need remember that we are the Kings. Such pains are a part of our burden."

Pain was always a part of their life, but maybe he understood that too - in some way. "Yes, sir." They had no idea how sick anyone else was and they wouldn't question him here.

Breaking anyone's reason for faith in them was the greatest crime they knew.

"Become stronger. It is your duty to retake the crown."

Any question of fault, they knew, would always lay upon their own head. It was the way of the Kings.

AAAAAA this is so good and im not very eloquent but i really really appreciate how??? insular this feels? Like u dont really take the position of post-inter high pain that i wouldve expected but u did it in a way that shows how Fuku might attempt to be supportive but miss the mark a little. I have so many feelings abt Fuku and othr characters and physical contact that i cant articulate but u did such a good job!!!!

I really wanted to take it outside of a given moment like this, but no matter how many times I tried, I kept getting too upset to write the thing I wanted to ;-; When I first saw your prompt, I actually cried, because I'm a total disaster about the thought of the unhealthy ideaologies Fukutomi inadvertantly enabled in Manami ...

BUT i'm really glad you liked it anyway, even if I couldn't really get ahold of the feeling I wanted to when I originally saw that prompt. Thank you so much for making that prompt, it's a really difficult topic for me to ever think about, and it was really kind of relieving to work on something like that.
