Bonus Round 1: Three Words

[sportsfest_mods]

A lot can be said in just three words, and we're challenging you to do just that in this bonus round! From your "I love you"s to your "red, white, blue"s, you'll have just three words to prompt and be prompted.

---

This round is now closed!

However, it is perpetually open to new fills!

---

Rules

• Submit prompts by commenting any three words of your choosing! This can be a phrase or a list of words. Example:
  • Please don't go
    
  • Morning, flower, kiss
    
  • Past, Present, Future
• Prompts can be in any language as long as you provide an English translation!
  
• Fill prompts by creating fanworks inspired by all three words, or only one or two! The choice is yours.
  
• You cannot earn points by filling your teammate's prompts or your own! (That said, we won't stop you from doing so for fun!)
  
• You must use the prompt/fill headers below, and you cannot leave any line blank!

Format

Required Work Minimums:

• 400 words (prose)
  
• 400px by 400px (art)
  • Traditional art is also allowed with a good quality photo/scan
• 14 lines (poetry)
  
• Playlists - 5 song minimum with artists. Link to either a video playlist, or each song separately. Be sure to warn for content in the music videos, and you may find linking to lyrics helpful. You may also write an explanation of why you chose each song.
  
• Moodboards - 9 photo min, source all photos, and no fanart allowed (unless it's your own)
  
• If you’d like to use a different medium, please contact the mods if you have any questions about minimum requirements.

I know they don’t have prom in japan but let me live.

***
School dances were the bane of almost every introverted student's life, your parents doll you up and send you off to go mingle with other people who you’ve seen almost every day as if the sudden change of clothes makes them more tolerable.

Yui was one of those students.

She didn’t really have a complaint about her parents dressing her up, the dress she wore was a simple knee-length white dress that flared at her waist. There were others in full ballgowns who were so dressed up she couldn’t even recognize them. Even if she did Yui doubted they would’ve interacted, she didn’t mingle much outside of the volleyball team and it seems like she was paying for it now.

Of the few girls from her team that did show up, some of them had come with dates, others were cliqued up with people she didn’t talk to and the last thing Yui wanted was to become someones third wheel. So she just crossed the room and avoided the dance floor, she didn’t want to be one of those people that stood around just drinking punch either but anything was better than just standing alone.

“Well hello, there stranger.” Yui turned at the voice behind her, relaxing when she sees it’s only Daichi. He was a good example of someone that didn’t look much different even when dressed up in a suit.

“Oh finally, someone not in a corner making out, hey Daichi. “ She greets.

Daichi chuckles, “Koushi and Asahi are busy with each other right now. What’s your excuse?” He teases lightly

Yui rolls her eyes and lightly punches him in the arm. “Very funny, who would I even be coupled up with?”

Daichi rubs the spot but is too used to random punches to be bothered. “I can think of someone. About 165 centimeters, black hair, pink glasses brown eyes and standing right behind you.” This time Yui does jump in surprise, only to give Daichi a dirty look and another arm punch when seeing that there was no one behind her. “Don’t give me that look. You know if Shimizu asked you’d be there in a heartbeat.”

“If she asked.” Yui points out. “She’s practically the school idol, she’s probably being asked to dance with who knows how many other people right now.”

“Doesn’t mean she’ll say yes to them,” Daichi says.

”Doesn’t mean she’ll ask me either.” Yui counters.

”I said the same thing when I was worrying about Koushi.” Daichi reminds her. “And what did you say to me?”

“I just punched you and told you to stop being a baby and ask them out,” Yui admits.

“Now I’m not going to punch you because that would be rude, but what I will do is tell you to turn around and good luck,” Daichi says walking away.

”I’m not falling for that ag-”

“Excuse me.” A soft voice interrupts from behind her. This time when Yui turns around she’s greeted by her crush in person. Kiyoko’s hair was in a high ponytail for once and she was dressed in a long floor length peach gown that was both simple and elegant. Needless to say, Yui was speechless. “Would you like to be my dance partner?”

It took Yui a moment to remember how to talk, finally able to respond with a small “Gladly,” as she took Kiyokos hand in hers and lead the other girl to the dance floor. Now dancing wasn’t something Yui knew how to do, only knowing the basic steps from what she’s seen other people do on Tv and what she sees from people are doing around her.

None of this mattered when she has Kiyokos hand in hers, so she wrapped one hand around her waist and kept their other hand clasped together. They didn’t do any fancy steps and Yui could see that Kiyoko was as unfamiliar with what to do as she was at dancing. And as the two girls swayed across the floor they realized that didn’t matter as long as the two of them were enjoying each other.

Neither of them noticed when the song changed to the next one, or the next, the only thing that mattered were each other's soft hands and the company of the other.

dfjfk this is so soft i am so soft!!!! I LOVE!!!! MY GIRLS

the daiyui peptalk was so good and supportive!!! and background asadaisuga!!! and the lovely dresses!!! i love everything about this omg, it was exactly what i was imagining when i prompted it, BLESS❤️❤️❤️

it's not quite the same, but the high school festivals might work as kind of an alternative setting to prom? if you're worried about like, ~authenticity~ you could have a class do a dance competition or musical performance and i think it could work. i wonder if they've ever had a class do "American Prom Night" as a theme lmao... it def wouldn't have the same weird clique-y-ness that Yui experiences here tho. that's a uniquely horrifyingly American feature :)))))
