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.

"i thought i was the only one who still enjoyed reading ‘kids’ books but then i saw you in that section picking out books too" au [x]

pls, they're too cute for this world

Kageyama didn't like children's books okay, he just... Some of the stories were really cute, and they had good morals, and adult books put him to sleep, okay? Kids books were nicer. He looked both ways before carefully sliding into the aisle and looking over the selection. Maybe another Junie B. Jones? Those were always fun. He really related to her on an emotional level. He stopped mid thought when someone else joined him in the aisle, quickly whipping his head to look in their direction. It was. A girl. A small, cute, blonde drop of sunshine. He froze and stared at her.

She froze and stared back. They were both caught with their hand in the proverbial cookie jar. He clutched the book he was holding and tried to calm his blush. "Uh. Are you... Here for the..." He gestured to the selection in front of him, "Too?"

The girl nodded and quickly dashed around him to grab a book covered in stars. "Um. I like this series..." She looked up at him shyly and smiled. "But Junie B. Jones is good, too."

Kageyama laughed nervously and nodded. "Yeah that one's... Really nice." He cleared his throat and held out his hand. "Kageyama Tobio."

The girl stared at the hand for what seemed like hours before jerkily reaching out and shaking his hand with vigor. "Yachi Hitoka." Then she pulled her hand back and looked up at him. "It's nice to meet you, Kageyama-san."

"Um. K-Kun is fine... Or just no honorific..." He bit his lip and looked down at her. "This book store has a cafe sort of area, but... There's one down the street with these cute little animal cookies."

Yachi's face lit up with excitement. "We should go there! Right now! Oh wait, no we need to buy these, first. But! It'll be like... A reading date! Hehe. That sounds like so much fun, Kageyama-kun."

The boy nodded and ducked his head. "Yeah." He turned back to the books and cleared his throat. "I guess... It's already stared, Hitoka-chan?"

She shrank down and giggled shyly, blushing to the tips of her ears. “Y-Yeah! I guess so. Hehe. It's kind of exciting, meeting someone with something like this in common... And then just going on a spontaneous date! Hah. Wow. Oh! We should exchange emails! Or... Numbers? Do you text or...?”

Kageyama tilted his head. “I don't have a phone.”

Yachi deflated immediately. She was going to have a long day ahead of her.

thank you for the fill! it was as cute and awkward as kageyachi should be, i literally sqeaked when i saw which of my prompts was filled ;A;

heh im glad you liked it! it was so adorable that i just couldn't help myself. hinata told kageyama to take girls to cute places since he's so clueless about social stuff, so he panicked internally like "where's the closest cute thing? fuck i'm hungry. oh yeah that cafe!" and yachi was mostly just wondering if she was going to have to run away from the scary guy.
