PROMPT: [Your Team]

• 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!
  
• That said, remember that "any" really means any. If there are characters/ships you don't want to see, feel free to list them under "Do Not Wants" or put "ask for other ships".
  

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 Grandstand, G

[pocket_panda]

Title: Easy Mode.
Ship/Character: Sawamura Eijun & Kuramochi Youichi
Additional Characters: Kominato Ryousuke (mentioned)
Fandom: Daiya no ace
Major Tags: None
Other Tags: video games, Kominato Ryousuke is some kind of cryptid?
Word Count: 461
Remix Permission: See Permissions Sheet

It’s… my first time writing Kuramochi ;w; but I saw this and really just wanted him and Eijun to play video games… Also I have never actually played Smash Bros, so please ignore any uh, oddities?

***

“You suck at this,” Kuramochi says after a wide yawn, blinking slowly as he watches Sawamura get utterly destroyed in Super Mario Smash Bros.

By a bot.

On the Easy setting.

Frankly, it’s embarrassing. For Kuramochi that is. Because he’d lost once to Sawamura, and watching him get completely obliterated by some dumbed down AI is a big hit to his ego, grimacing as Sawamura gets shoved off the edge and the AI gets a perfect win.

Yeah… His ego is definitely bruised here.

With a falsely put upon sigh, Kuramochi heaves himself up from where he’d been sprawled gracelessly on the floor next to his roommate, and picks up the second controller,

“Okay idiot, let’s teach you how to play this game so you can stop embarrassing yourself.”

“I’M NOT EMBARRASSING MYSELF!! It’s perfectly acceptable to lose in video games Kuramochi-senpai!” Sawamura defends loudly, and Kuramochi plugs the ear that’s closest to the loud voice, wincing at his volume.

He’s not sure he’ll ever get used to it. But no one will ever get him to admit he doesn’t mind it all that much. It’s bad enough that Ryou-san had figured it out. Then again, Kuramochi isn’t sure there’s anything in this world that Kominato Ryousuke doesn’t know.

The man just kind of exists in his own plane of reality like that…

Kuramochi is getting off track though. Right now, he needs to teach Sawamura how to not lose to AI players that are set on the easiest level and who should not be able to even land a hit.

Let alone get a perfect win.

“Sure it’s okay to lose, but not against bots, you dumbass,” Is Kuramochi calling Sawamura names just to get a rise out of him now?

Who knows. (Kominato Ryousuke, that’s who)

“What’s so bad about losing against the computer!? Just because it’s a machine doesn’t automatically make it bad, Kuramochi-senpai!!” Man is this kid loud.

“I put them on easy for you. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen to lose against a bot on easy. They’re not supposed to win,” He explains as patiently as he can, which isn’t very, but he’s trying here.

“FINE! I don’t see what’s so wrong about me losing! It’s part of life to accept your losses and grow from them! Even if they really really hurt!” Sawamura huffs, going cat-eyed as he crosses his arms.

Kuramochi blinks at him, always thrown for a loop whenever Sawamura accidentally displays words of wisdom, but then he shakes his head and reminds himself he has a mission, and an ego to stroke.

“Hyaha! Whatever! Just watch and learn, brat.”

Kuramochi couldn’t hold back his grin at the shout of “I’M NOT A BRAT” even if he tried.

Oh my gosh, I love this! You really managed to capture these two dorks. :D If you hadn't told me that you'd never written Kuramochi before I would have never of guessed! I also know next to nothing about Smash Bros so you're totally fine there too. *thumbs up* Thanks for the fill!
