Don't look at step 2 before you're done with step 1
1. Ryutaro
2. Yuuto
3. Yabu
4. Inoo
5. Daiki
6. Yamada
7. Keito
8. Chinen
9. Hikaru
10. Takaki
Step 2: Write a fic of around twenty five words for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers.
01. First Time - 4 & 6 (Inoo x Yamada)
"Thanks for agreeing to tutor me, senpai." Yamada sank gratefully into a seat next to Inoo, who was clearing the table for their first lesson.
02. Angst - 7 (Keito)
He never asked to leave Japan, but of course, his father didn't care about his wants. It was never about him.
03. AU- 1 & 8 (Ryutaro x Chinen)
"W-wait mister!" Ryutaro turned back to see the cute boy working behind the counter of the convenient store running up to him, waving furiously. "You forgot your change!"
04. Threesome - 3, 6, & 9 (Yabu x Yamada x Hikaru)
"Budge over!"
"No, I'll get wet!"
"Here, I'll hold the umbrella in the middle, you two can cling to me." Yabu rolled his eyes.
05. Hurt and Comfort - 5 & 10 (Daiki x Takaki)
Daiki felt useless, unable to ease the other boy's pain. The most he could do was let Takaki cry his broken heart out on his shoulder.
06. Crack - 1 (Ryutaro)
The other boy was always so far away, Ryutaro thought, watching him snuggle in the arms of his boyfriend and felt his heart crack just a bit more.
07. Horror - 10 (Takaki)
He woke up crying, thinking he was seven years old again, reliving the nightmarish life he had under the "care" of his abusive and alcoholic father.
08. Babyfic - 5 & 9 (Daiki x Hikaru)
"Hika-chan! Meet your new playmate!" His mother led in a toddling, short, super-duper-chubby-squishy-cheeked boy wearing a pair of overalls into his room with the brightest smile on his face.
09. Dark - 2 & 8 (Yuuto x Chinen)
"Damn it, for the last time Yuuto, get off me and stop whimpering!" Chinen snarled so viciously, even the ghosts hiding around the dark corner decided to stay hidden.
10. Romance - 4 & 7 (Inoo x Keito)
"Kei, what are you writing?"
"A romance novel. And what are you reading, Keito?"
"...a romance novel?" Apparently the two boys had an unexpected similarity.
11. Deathfic - 2 & 3 (Yuuto x Yabu)
"Hey, I hope everything's well over there. I wish I could say the same here. Yama-chan especially..." Yabu sighed, gazing sadly at the tombstone, laid with freshly picked flowers.
12. AU - 8 & 9 (Chinen x Hikaru)
"Nii-chan. Nii-chan. OI HIKA-NII-CHAN!" Chinen yelled, yanking the earbuds out of his brother's ears.
"WHAT?!"
"Do you think I look better in yellow or green?"
13. Dark - 3 & 4 (Yabu x Inoo)
"Oh sh-" Inoo stepped on something sharp. "What happened?"
"It's either a blackout, or someone decided it's a funny joke to lock us together in a dark closet."
14. Threesome - 1, 5 & 7 (Ryutaro x Daiki x Keito)
Ryutaro was sulking over the room assignments. Daiki was fuming about his missing box of Pocky. Keito...well, Keito got tired and went to sleep early.
15. Amnesia - 2 & 10 (Yuuto x Takaki)
"And...who are you?"
The young boy grinned up at Takaki with a shrug. "Dunno. Who are you?"
"Takaki Yuya-"
"Whoa~ that's a cool name! I'll be Yuya too!"
16. Hurt and Comfort - 6 & 8 (Yamada x Chinen)
"Yama-chan, I-I'm sorry..." His world broke. He barely registered Chinen's words. By the time he came to, the only person he could turn to for comfort was himself.
17. Crack - 3 & 9 (Yabu x Hikaru)
On the days when everything went wrong and Yabu could barely hold himself together, Hikaru was there with words and bottle of water to keep him from cracking.
18. Genderswap - 1 & 6 (Ryutaro x Yamada)
"Why do you always come to me for girls and love advice?!" Yamada asked, exasperated at Ryutaro.
"Cuz you're a girl, Ryoko. Duh."
19. First Time - 2 & 7 (Yuuto x Keito)
"I-I'm really nervous, Keito." Yuuto gulped with scared eyes.
The other boy patted his shoulder. "You'll do fine. Breathe. Relax. Have fun." And they did.
20. Angst - 3 & 8 (Yabu x Chinen)
"It's okay to cry, Chii. He just-"
But the lifeless eyes staring off were clear and dry. That, more than any tears, broke Yabu's heart.
21. Babyfic - 1 (Ryutaro)
When his mom wasn't watching, Ryutaro struggled to stand up on his wobbly legs. Triumphantly, he took one step...then lost balance and started to cry.
A/N: These were super fun. Some might come back one day as actual oneshots.
