Characters: Hashimoto, ABC
Notes: Soo~ I cheated a bit with this prompt. /fired
When ABC are given their youngest foster child yet, it's a nervous first few days for Hashimoto. He's uncomfortably aware of his senpai's efforts to include him in everything, for better or worse.
Usually worse.
"So Fumi's an anchovy," Tsukada laughs. "Small and gross and fifteen-out-of-thirty people hate him."
"What!" Kawai splutters. "That's bullshit!"
"And Hashimoto?" Totsuka queries.
Kawai decides. "Obviously a salmon, since his brain goes against the flow and thinks it's totally normal."
"He is something of a delicacy," Goseki agrees, giving Hashimoto a shady smile.
Shrinking back, Hashimoto tries not to feel like an elephant among mice.

Title: Tuna
Unit for Points: A.B.C.-Z
Word Count: 100
Characters: Hashimoto, ABC
Notes: I saved this from somewhere that has since been taken down, but passive in Japan is seriously passive: "The slang term for a woman who lies completely still in bed is maguro (tuna). For me, with my western sensibilities and preconceptions, calling someone a ‘tuna’ in bed sounds like an insult, conjuring up images of cold dead fish, but in Japan that word has a very positive connotation. Tuna’s an expensive delicacy."
"Are you sure you don't mean a tuna?" Totsuka asks mildly.
"I do mean a tuna," Goseki says with a grin, "except for how I doubt he is."
Kawai makes a show of pinching his nose. "You're really gross."
"I had a tuna hand roll for lunch today?" Tsukada offers.
The other three crack up laughing.
Like Tsukada, Hashimoto's not entirely sure what they're talking about. (He had tuna for lunch too: a sandwich. With mayonnaise.) Unlike Tsukada, he just keeps his mouth shut and wishes he were back with Sanada and Nozawa. At least their sex talk is normal.
