Bonus Round 2: AUs

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

This round is made for exploration of all those "what-if?" scenarios, like "what if my favorite sports anime was actually a spaghetti western?" or "what if everything was the same except everyone was actually a car?"

This round ends at 7PM on June 27 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with an alternate universe idea, along with a ship from one of our nominated fandoms.
An AU could be a canon divergence, e.g. "what if [team] didn't win the Inter High in season 1, but [other team] did instead?", or a completely different setting altogether, e.g.s pop idol AU, coffee shop AU, superheroes AU, etc.
Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

warnings: only for kyoutani's potty mouth. that's it. word count: 608

_____

If he was being honest with himself, Kyoutani had no real idea how he got his job—or, for that matter, why. The sweet, darling old lady that owned the place always brightened with an ear-to-ear smile any time the young man would walk in for the day, no matter what kind of frown Kyoutani had twisting his lips, no matter what Kyoutani would be wearing— it didn’t matter, she would always chirp a “Happy to see you, dear!” right when he walks in. Honestly, it didn’t make any real sense to him, mainly because he was always one-hundred percent sure he had a personality as appealing as unwashed laundry.

He knew that the owner was definitely aware of his own outlook on his personality— he was usually always working with the flowers directly, pruning and cutting and arranging and almost never actually in contact with people.

Until, of course, the owner comes up with a broad smile, chirping, “Oh, dear, could you watch the counter today? You’re going to be the only one in today.” and Kyoutani found himself in a pleasant apron, standing behind the counter, in full view of the front window.

…….where everyone could see him, and thus decide to talk to him.

Which was, in any case, why he felt a mixture of irritation, apprehension, and mild horror when he was met with a smirk that stretched from ear to ear, aiming at him from across the flower counter. “So. Kyoutani. Didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Order something.” If Kyoutani sounded annoyed and vaguely homicidal, Hanamaki didn’t act like he heard a lick of it—rather, his smirk turned into a smile, and he tilted his head to the side slightly.

“Who would have thought, really? A flower shop—the easily-angered, always frowning—“

“Order. Something.” Kyoutani should have known, he really should have known that there was no fucking way on this good Earth that he could conceivably keep this job and not have someone from school eventually find him.

(At least it wasn’t Oikawa, he found himself thinking, because then everyone and their mother was going to know.)

Hanamaki laughed lightly, leaning to the side a bit. “Fine, fine. Fifteen of the roses— Ah!” Kyoutani stopped, midstep, already on his way to get the flowers, narrowing his eyes at his senior.

“….What.”

“I want them delivered. Later today.” The statement of “purely to irritate the fuck out of you” was left off, but luckily it wasn’t needed— oh, it was most definitely implied by the shit-eating grin Hanamaki wore, the complete look of disgust on Kyoutani’s face, and the fact that the latter was already writing down an address.

Kyoutani bit back the retort of “Take the fucking roses with you now, you jackass.” because in no way is that anywhere near professional.

“Alright. What fu—what time do you want them?”

“Twenty minutes from now.”

Kyoutani bit back the retort of “Why the fuck are you like this.” because in no way is that anywhere near professional.

“That’s too soon of a time frame, sir.” One of the world’s miracles was the fact that the sentence had no explicatives in it.

“Ah? Is it? I think you can do it, though. Believe in yourself a little more, will ya?” It was extremely obvious that it took all of Kyoutani’s available reserves of self-restraint to not jump the counter and throttle Hanamaki right then and there.

“Fine. Fifteen roses. In. Twenty. Minutes.” Was he gritting his teeth? Maybe. Maybe just a little bit.

“Mmm, I’ve been thinking….”

“Asshole, don’t fuckin’ do it—“

“I’d like tulips now.”

“Oh. My. God.”

makki, you little shit

it was so cute! kyouken in a flower shop trying so hard to be polite and professional is something i didn't know i needed until now. and he grew close enough with seijou team to bicker and be friendly teased by them, i'm so glad uwu
