• You must include at least one specific character/ship and fandom in your prompt. You may add "any" after listing a few characters/ships/fandoms!

Copy/Paste the following into the body of your comment. Delete all instructional text in parentheses.

<strong>Ship/Character:</strong> (The relationship or character your prompt is focused on."&" indicates a platonic relationship, "/" is non-platonic. You must include at least one specific ship/character.) <strong>Fandom:</strong> (what fandom the character or ship is from. DO NOT write “Any”) <strong>Major Tags:</strong> (Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Underage, or Chose Not to Use Tags, when applicable; Otherwise, write "None".) <strong>Additional Tags:</strong> (Anything you feel requires tagging or mention. Not required, but it is highly encouraged to check the additional tags on the tags page (https://sportsfest.dreamwidth.org/3623.html) as they are things your fellow participants have asked to be tagged for! May also be humorous, tumblr-style tags.) <strong>Do Not Wants:</strong> (Anything you do not want to see in your fills including triggers, squicks, and even minor things like ships you do not like. Please use this space responsibly and not, say, to create crazy limitations for your fillers.) <strong>Prompt:</strong>

Future bonus rounds will have a much more simplified header to copy-paste!

FILL: Team 29 Balls to the Face, T

[joshllyman]

Title: against hope
Ship/Character: Yuuki Tetsuya/Isashiki Jun
Additional Characters: Miyuki Kazuya, mention of the Kominato brothers, mention of Kuramochi
Fandom: Daiya no Ace
Major Tags: None
Other Tags: secret relationship, soft boys are soft
Word Count: 445
Remix Permission: See Permissions Sheet


***

It's rare to see Jun soft like this. Tetsuya has always thought of himself as privileged, getting to see this side of him when no one else does. He runs his fingers through Jun's hair and sighs.
"S'nice," Jun says sleepily. He buries his head in Tetsuya's shoulder. "Gods, I don't want to get up."
Then don't, Tetsuya thinks desperately. Against hope and reason he thinks, stay with me.
Jun goes a little stiffer under his touch. He looks up into Tetsuya's eyes. "I want to," he murmurs.
Tetsuya isn't sure if he'd said the words aloud or if his train of thought was simply that obvious to Jun, who's known him so well for so long. Three years they've played together, fought at each other's sides. It's too long and it's not long enough. It could never be long enough, not with Jun. Tetsuya could drink down every last drop of Jun, consume him whole, and never be satisfied.
"How much longer do you think the others will be?" Tetsuya asks, voice hoarse with disuse.
Jun turns over and reaches blindly for his phone, his shirt riding up and exposing a bit of skin at his hip. Tetsuya wants to ghost his fingers across it, wants to press his lips against it and worship Jun the way he deserves.
"Ten minutes, at most," Jun sighs. He turns back over. "I'll move. One more minute."
Tetsuya stubbornly does not count to sixty in his head. Instead, he counts the lashes of Jun's eye, brushing prettily against his porcelain skin. He brushes his thumb across Jun's high cheekbone and watches as a blush blooms under his touch.
"Okay." Jun sits up, and Tetsuya watches the rearrangement of his atoms, the careful recomposition of the side of himself he shows to everyone else. Tetsuya thinks this is the worst kind of loss, to have Jun so close and yet to not be able to touch, to barely recognize the man beside him. Jun smiles, too sharp around the edges, and Tetsuya tries to smile back.
Miyuki is the first one through the door. Jun has taken up residence on the floor, his back ramrod straight against the beam of the bunk. Miyuki smirks (there's layers to him, too, under all that bravado and masquerading) and crosses his arms over his chest.
"Smash Bros?" he asks, his eyes narrowing in on Jun.
Tetsuya feels rather than sees the way Jun's eyes flicker in his direction
Stay with me.
"Yeah, sure," Jun answers, and he's up and crossing the room as Kuramochi and the Kominato brothers appear.
Tetsuya closes his eyes and tries not to drown in the calamity.

Ahh, this is amazing!! Also, holy crap, you wrote it in like two hours!! I love, love the idea of these two being soft around each other and yet...they have to be different people around the rest of the team. It's so sweet and wistful and a little sad. *chefs kiss* Perfection. Thanks for the fill!
