Bonus Round 4: Official Art

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


Memorable canon moments, bizarre omakes, tantalizing magazine spreads—this is the round to explore them all. Bring out your screencaps, promotional art, and manga pages, and let's talk about what really happened.
Please read the rules carefully before posting!

RULES

• Submit prompts in the form of a canon screencap from one of our nominated fandoms along with a ship. Screencaps can be from an anime or manga, as well as any other kind of offshoot media, e.g. official art, drama CD covers, light novel illustrations, magazine covers, and/or caps from games. Doujinshi, fan-made games or any other fan-created work should not be prompted, even if you receive permission. Only prompt screencaps that are taken from a piece of canon media.
• Keep your prompt concise. Don't prompt a whole manga chapter, for example.
• Upload the cap somewhere (imgur works well) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them.
• Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Riko & Momoi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Riko/Momoi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work inspired by the cap.
• Fills can be directly connected to the cap, e.g. panel redraws or writing fic that fleshes out the moment that was capped or that fleshes out what happened directly before/after, but fills can also be more indirectly linked. As long as the work is somehow inspired by the cap, it counts.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

matsukawa issei is a closet romantic.

he’s someone who treasures the little things in life (and there’s a short joke waiting to happen. hajime can hear him smiling into it already). he likes nosing at hajime’s neck after cat naps, and sometimes he’ll wrinkle his nose even after hajime’s showered and clean. he thinks he’s funny.

but issei does like the way hajime buries his face into his shoulder, undercut hair soft against his forehead. he likes lazy, morning sex when hajime kisses him awake, drops extra kisses soft on his skin while issei is still half-asleep. he sports riotous bedhead while he stretches out, content as an oversized cat. hajime isn’t even a morning person, but issei would sleep until noon if allowed.

“morning,” he mumbles, and if hajime were forced to it, he’d admit that the way he rubs sleep from his eyes is pretty cute. (i’m kind of a handful, issei had admitted, anxious face disappearing to make way for his usual mischievous smile. hajime had nearly quit right there, to live the single life, when issei continued, more than a handful, but i’m not one to brag. you wanna see for yourself--but he’d ducked hajime’s punch and gone for him, scooping him up to lift hajime in the air, arms tight around his midsection.) they have a similar sense of humor, even if issei will go for the blow below the belt (and waggle his eyebrows at the expression). he’s easy to read, easy to be with.

hajime kisses first, the response time between issei waking up and issei kissing back remarkably fast. he’s awake, the fucker, he’s definitely awake, but issei shuts his eyes and lays back down, bedhead crashing down on his pillow, and lets his smile spread on his face, slow and sweet. “hajime,” he smiles, but he won’t fall for it--not today, so he strokes his hands across the soft expanse of issei’s chest, down his soft stomach and rests them on his waist. he traces the outline of issei’s dick, hard in his pajama pants, and grins.

sometimes, issei is actually proactive in the morning. he’s the kind of guy who wakes up to have sex, and when issei drags him by the shirt to rest on top of him, chest to chest, he bucks up his hips to get their dicks to brush together. it short-circuits hajime’s train of thought, but he can still catch the gleam of amusement in issei’s eye when he smiles, peeking up at hajime to see--to confirm--the reaction he’s sure to get.

he’d like a lot to spend the whole day in bed, going back to sleep so he can wake up to fuck issei in the afternoon hours. or maybe just take it easy now and coil issei from his lazy, sprawled-out position to something a little more high-tension, until he’s panting from exertion and he twists them around, rolls them over in bed to ease himself on hajime’s cock in his eagerness. (well, maybe not. if hajime has to hear oikawa say ‘microtears’ in that disapproving voice one more time, he’ll deck him for real.)

but it’s hard to think about his stupid best friend when issei shifts, it’s hard to think about anything at all when he pushes apart hajime’s legs until he’s straddling his thighs. hajime can brace his hands on issei’s shoulders, but he prefers to put them palms-down on the bed, like he’s doing push-ups. his fingers curl in the sheets. “okay?” issei breathes, and hajime nods, the air boiling in his body when issei finally, finally gets his act together and fists both their dicks in his grip, slick and loose.

“fuck,” hajime manages, and issei huffs a shaky laugh--and somewhere in it there’s a just me, not god joke that he doesn’t even have to say.

he could stop the jokes just by kissing him again, but he likes the small, broken pants issei makes when he’s getting close. “sei, sei,” and hajime’s own voice is embarrassingly soft, choked-off and strained when issei jacks them faster, hands so slippery they add to the squelching noise between their legs. his limbs shake. just like push-ups.

and maybe hajime is something of a closet romantic too, but when they’re cocooned in bed with morning sunlight spilling between the blinds, it’s hard not to be. issei’s hips snap up and hajime drops down his head to kiss his collarbones, his neck, flush creeping up his skin from underneath his sleep shirt. “come on, sei,” hajime breathes, and grinds down his hips, fucks into issei’s loose grip and watches him take shuddering breaths.

release is easy, electric jolts from issei’s hands and the slick skin of his shaft against his own, issei’s quick thrusts growing shaky. hajime nearly collapses on top of him with the sheer relief of it, pleasure and sweet sugar running under his skin. issei’s mouth is open, groaning exhales lilting in hajime’s ear, and hajime doesn’t even care about the mess, just pushes himself off his boyfriend and lays down next to him, body still heaving from the effort of keeping himself upright.

“mm, morning,” issei breathes again, when he can, and looks down at his stained fingers and their clothes. “laundry?”

it takes half an hour for anything to run in the washer, and another thirty for the dryer. hajime can do a lot in an hour. “okay,” he agrees, and issei’s laugh curls up from his mouth and into another little kiss.
