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!

- 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

- Traditional art is also allowed with a good quality photo/scan

Under the sunlight, Kuroo’s wings are iridescent.
The swell of color, pressed against the ink-black undertones of Kuroo’s wings, draws Daichi’s gaze immediately.
“You didn’t have to clear out the entire park just because you wanted to stretch your wings,” Daichi says, his eyes flickering away. A hint of disapproval lines his words, but whether or not he means it really is up for question. “What if someone sees?”
Kuroo’s serpentine eyes are still covered by his dark sunglasses, but as his lips curl into a decidedly cat-like smirk, Daichi feels certain that Kuroo has just winked at him.
He would know; he’s had six thousand years to learn the ins and outs of Kuroo’s quirks. Six thousand years to—
“But I’ve taken care of that, haven’t I?” Kuroo says, laughter in his voice. He flings his arms open in a dramatic gesture, and the wind follows the motion, rippling through his raven-black wings. “Don’t you trust me?”
If Kuroo had been anywhere else, this would have been quite the intimidating show. His smile is sharp, wicked, and wholly smug, and the faint sheen of iridescent color over his sleek feathers. The rainbow, kitten-patterned picnic blanket only adds to the image.
Briefly, Daichi tries to picture this Kuroo in the depths of Hell. He knows there isn’t much light down there, and even less color. Kuroo had told him that the ceilings are low and the walls are always creeping inward. There’s barely any semblance of personal space, much less the space to spread one’s wings.
Demons don’t like to be reminded of their wings. The blackness is a curse, and, sometimes, if one spends too much time underground, the wings begin to rot. God’s gift.
Kuroo’s wings, though, are perhaps the most beautiful pair Daichi has ever seen.
(He’s glad Kuroo is here, with him, instead.)
Daichi’s gaze flickers back to Kuroo’s wings, and then the chesire cat grin ghosting across his face. “Don’t be like that,” Daichi says, and unfurls his own wings. White, for angels; it’s a relief to spread his wings out as far as they go, to let the wind ruffle through the feathers and the sunlight warm the surface evenly.
In Daichi’s bookshop, if he were to try and stretch his wings, he’d knock over every single bookshelf in wingspan radius. Not the most desirable outcome. “Not saying that I approve, you know, I’m giving you my best disappointed look right now for unnecessary manipulation of humans—”
“Come on, angel,” Kuroo laughs, like he does every time Daichi tries to go holier-than-thou on him, “lighten up! Have some pie.”
Daichi throws the demon a look , to which Kuroo just laughs again. He reaches over to open the picnic basket he’s brought along with him and pulls out a rather large apple pie, slices pre-cut. Wordlessly, Kuroo peels back the plastic wrap and hands Daichi the pie, a fork, and a paper plate.
“Dig in, angel,” Kuroo says, “We’re wasting daylight.”
“It’s literally mid-morning.”
Daichi rolls his eyes but gently receives Kuroo’s offerings anyways. They fall into a comfortable, companionable silence, something that has become familiar in the time they’ve spent together.
It’s not until Daichi has polished off his pie that Kuroo speaks up again. “I missed you,” he says, and it’s so soft and so quiet under the sounds of the birds chirping and the grass rustling and the gurgling from a nearby fountain that Daichi almost misses it. He blinks as the words settle around his ears.
As the demon’s words slowly sink in, Daichi slowly turns his head, his eyes widening just the slightest touch. The background noise of the park fades into near-silence.
Kuroo picks up on Daichi’s shift immediately. He hesitates, and then he stills, wings curling inwards just slightly. The tips of his feathers brush against the blanket, the grass, the picnic basket. They don’t touch Daichi.
“You know,” Daichi says, a hint of smugness entering his voice, “If you have something to say to me, you should look me in the eye.”
He reaches over the picnic basket, and quick as a snake (the holiest of snakes, mind you), snatches Kuroo’s sunglasses off and tucks it behind his back, far out of reach.
“Oh, shut up,” Kuroo says, and now that his sunglasses are off, Daichi can see the slow dilation of his eyes, the faint redness spreading across his cheeks. It is, Daichi thinks, a gentle warmth unfurling in his chest, a good look.
“It’s, you know—ineffable.”
(Six thousand years to fall in love.)
Re: Fill: Team Grandstand, G
Thank you sooo much for filling this ! I absolutely love the details about the lore, how the demon world works and hhhhh WINGS they're really under used in the show and it's a shame but you did justice to them and i'm very glad
Re: Fill: Team Grandstand, G
Re: Fill: Team Grandstand, G
Holy heck swan. I’m so glad you did this because kurodai seems to fit this AU and dynamic so well? the analogy of being bound by their respective sides but able to spread their wings out in the open there, with no other spectators
Their banter was great and soft at the end AAAAA
