Bonus Round 3: FSTs

This round is CLOSED. Late fills can be posted, but they won't receive points.


We're halfway through all the bonus rounds now. If you're like us, every love song on the radio seems to apply to your OTP. In this round we'd like you to serenade us with some of your top picks!

This round ends at 7PM on July 11 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

• Submit prompts in the form of a short playlist (3-6 songs) and a ship from any of our nominated fandoms. Submit only the track listing and a link to where they can be listened to; the idea is for others to interpret what you present. You may also link to lyrics if you would like.
• Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Riko & Momoi & Alex). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Riko/Momoi/Alex). Please don't say "Any pairing," either.
• Create content based on the playlists of others! Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
• Fills may be in any form you choose (except for another FST of course) as long as they are inspired by/fit the mood of the soundtrack they are filling for.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• You cannot fill your teammates' prompts or your own prompts.

FILL: TEAM AKAASHI KEIJI/BOKUTO KOUTAROU/KUROO TETSUROU, G

[megginee]

Hello again Alistair. I forgot about this prompt for like a week and I am glad I looked through my drafts today :)




It had taken about fifteen separate invitations, spread out over the course of a month, before Kei actually agreed to go on a date with Kuroo.

And then he spent the next half a week not even thinking about it, except when Kuroo would text him. He was in denial that it was actually going to happen.

But now it's Friday, and Kuroo is standing right in front of him, and both the realization that he did actually accept—that it wasn't just a dream riddled with bad pickup lines—and the full force of his regret hit him like two separate motorcycles.

In reality, there is only one motorcycle. Maybe this would be okay if there weren't also two helmets. Even that could be passed off as excusable if Kuroo weren't holding one out to him as if he actually expected him to take it. Really, there's no imagining his way out of this one.

"I'm not getting on that death machine," Kei states, standing straight-legged and straight-backed with his hands firmly in the pocket of his hooding, firmly grasping the lint inside it and not the helmet in front of him.

Kuroo's arm sags slightly, but he's still smiling. "Are you afraid of motorcycles, Tsukki?"

"I'm afraid of dying," he replies, emphasizing the rationality of the fear with an incredulous expression. He can believe this is actually a question being asked of him less than he can believe people choose to purchase and ride motorcycles.

"We won't die, come on. It's really fun! I promise I'm a good driver." He winks, as if that'll make Kei more likely to believe him.

It doesn't; in fact, Kei finds himself considering the ways in which a wink was an inappropriate addition to that interaction. "I'm going back inside. Goodbye, Kuroo." He turns, and Kuroo quickly jumps and grabs his arm.

"No, no, wait, don't. Okay, we don't have to do my plan, even though it was going to be great."

Kei feels his face going a little red from Kuroo's hand on his arm. He's not used to being touched by people. Most of the time everyone assumes he doesn't like it, but it's actually the opposite. He really does, but it doesn't really fit with his outward personality, so whenever someone breaks through the personal bubble they've imagined for him, he heats up because it happens so infrequently.

He turns around again and Kuroo lets him go. "What was your plan?" he mutters out, trying not to sound curious. One of the tactics Kuroo had employed to get him to agree to this was showing him testimonials from other people he'd taken out on great dates before, though Kei was quick to point out he had no evidence those screenshots of texts hadn't been fabricated. Kuroo offered to give him their numbers so he could call them, and even though he had probably been joking, Kei had decided to just drop it.

Kuroo laughs. It's an attractive sound that somehow has more effect on Kei than it did in high school. "That's a secret. I'll convince you to ride with me eventually and then you'll see."

"You say that like you're sure there's going to be a next time."

Kuroo tilts his head to the side and smiles like he's amused. "You know, Tsukki, you could at least pretend to be nice to me," he says. "You used to be at least polite."

Kei grips his own fingers inside his pocket. Kuroo is right, of course. Something about their relationship changing gradually from mentoring to college acquaintances to sort-of friends to dating is making him treat Kuroo like none of the above. "Sorry," he mutters. "I've never been on a date before. I guess I'm—don't look at me like that."

"You're really cute, you know. You don't have to be nervous. You want a crepe? I'll buy you a crepe. We can walk there if you let me go park my bike somewhere more legal."

Kei is a little red again, for different, yet similar reasons. ('You're really cute.') He walks back down the last few steps that had been separating him and Kuroo towards the bike. "You can't just have crepes for dinner, you know." He hopes that comes out as less antagonistic than the last few things he's said.

Kuroo attaches the spare helmet and his own to the bike, nudges the kickstand back with his foot, and takes the handlebars. "Tsukki, I think I have some things to teach you about free will and being an adult."

Kei snorts and walks with him. "I was suggesting we get dinner, Mr. Mature Adult."

Kuroo glances sideways at him, and Kei catches the brief surprised, pleased expression on his face before it fades back into a grin. "I obviously knew that."




“firmly grasping” made me think of Spongebob, and so did pocket lint, and then I couldn’t stop imagining “Are you afraid of motorcycles, Tsukki?” said with the exact inflection of “You like Krabby Patties, don’t you Squidward?”
So here’s your Spongebob KuroTsukki AU
