Day 3: Jobs gone wrong 

Day 3 of @bullettrainpromptweek! Thinking about how things would pan out if Tangerine was a little quicker with his shot >:)

[bullettrainpromptweek]

Welcome to Bullet Train prompt week 2023!

BT prompt week works similarly to most other prompt weeks. Fic, art, headcanons, gifs——basically any kind of fan-produced content——are all accepted. There’s no pressure to complete the whole week, and you can submit multiple works per day if you wish. Prompts can be interpreted as abstractly or as literally as you want, and we have two prompts per day for the sake of flexibility.

If you post to your work to tumblr, don’t forget to tag me (@bullettrainpromptweek) or use the tag #btpromptweek23. That way I can reblog your awesome stuff!

Posting is May 20th through the 26th, and the prompts are as follows:

Day 1) pre-canon | kidfic

Day 2) under-appreciated or minor character | butterfly effect

Day 3) job gone wrong | scars

Day 4) outsider POV | OC-centric

Day 5) memories | rarepair

Day 6) crossover | AU of choice

Day 7) Post-canon | free day

Feel free to ask any questions you have, and I hope you’ll join us!

Day 1: Kidfic

——————————————

“Hi! You’re pretty! Wanna play with me and my brother?”

Back then, Yuichi didn’t fully know what the other boy was saying to him. He knew English well enough, but the way the other boy rushed out his entire sentence startled Yuichi enough where he could do nothing but blink in surprise.

This wasn’t the first time he’d seen the two boys and he knew a good amount about them. He knew the boys’ family was staying in the apartments near his own home and that, by how often he saw the two boys playing on the building's steps, he could also infer that both of the boys’ parents were out during the day. Yuichi could see them more often than not already playing by the time Yuichi’s father brought him to the park and still playing by the time Yuichi was told it was time to leave.

“Louis, I doubt he speaks English.” Louis’ brother stood a little behind with his arms crossed tightly. Yuichi had heard about him more than he had Louis. Particularly that he had snatched a teacher’s keys but was adamant he hadn’t used them.

“Sure he does! I’ve heard him talk to his old man before. You’re probably scaring him.” Louis jokingly elbowed at his brother, who seemed to actually growl in response.

“Me? You’re the one who just walked up and started yelling at him. Let’s just go, we can go to the shops or whatever.”

“The shops? Really? After they’ve put you on a big ‘keep out’ sign? Real smart, Francis. Let’s just stay and play here.”

“What? With the boy who can’t speak English?”

“H-hey.” Yuichi stuttered a bit, not knowing if getting in between the brothers’ argument was a good idea or not.

“I can talk. You just caught me off guard.”

Louis beamed, a stark contrast to Francis’ blatant look of contempt.

“Great! Let’s go to the shops!” Grabbing Yuichi’s hand, Louis tugged him up from his sitting position and pulled him in the direction Yuichi vaguely knew the shopping markets were.

“What the hell! You just said you didn’t want to!” Francis snapped.

“Language.” Yuichi replied. It was purely out of habit from hearing his own father say it in response to his colleagues swearing in front of Yuichi. But now Yuichi wished he hadn’t spoken, seeing how the look Francis shot him was down right murderous. Yuichi unconsciously scooched closer to Louis as the brothers led the way towards the back gate of the park.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Louis and Francis jumped at the sudden confrontation, both of them being much more used to going around undetected by adults. Yuichi, on the other hand, simply straightened up and turned around at the sound of his father’s voice.

“To the shops.” Yuichi replied. He felt a little embarrassed seeing how his father raised an eyebrow at that. Yuichi knew he was no doubt going to get a lecture about stranger danger when they got home.

“No you’re not. Stay here, okay?” Yuichi nodded and sheepishly turned to the brothers with a shrug. Louis frowned but didn’t press the matter. He went to pull Yuichi to the playground when Yuichi’s father spoke up again.

“You too, young man.” Yuichi and Louis watched as Yuichi’s father stopped Francis in the middle of his escape with a quick grab at the collar of the boy’s t-shirt. Francis whipped around, smacking his hand away.

“You’re not my dad.” Francis scowled. Yuichi’s father rolled his eyes.

“Still. I don’t want you wandering around without an adult. Stay here.”

Francis opened his mouth again to protest but was stopped with a sharp jab at his arm from Louis.

Disappointed, the three boys meandered to the swings. Yuichi sat down on one while Louis decided to sit on the ground. Francis leaned on the frame of the swingset.

“Why’d you stop me? We could’ve just ran.” Francis complained. Yuichi felt his life flash before his eyes considering what the talk at home would’ve been like if he had run from his father. He shuddered to think about it. He made a little noise of apology to Francis as Louis kept his eyes to the ground.

Suddenly, Louis picked up one of the many branches that scattered the playground and pointed it at Francis’ chest. He stood in a pose reminiscent of a fencer.

“En garde, Sir Diesel! It is I, Sir Thomas, and I’m here to defeat you!” Francis yelped and jumped back in surprise as Louis swung at him.

Catching on to what he was doing, Francis grinned, grabbing a stick from the ground like his brother. Except, unlike his brother, Francis made a point of also grabbing Yuichi. He pulled him close until Yuichi’s back was flush against Francis’ chest, his stick angled at Yuichi’s throat like one would angle a sword.

“You’ll have to kill me if you want to see the princess again, Sir Thomas!” Francis cackled.

After shaking off his initial surprise, Yuichi snickered and allowed himself to be pulled away by Francis up into the highest spire of the playground. Louis followed in hot pursuit, shouting as he followed.

“Come back here villain!” His voice sounded muffled as the other two disappeared into the tangled tubes of the playground.

It was cramped as always, Yuichi was sure even as a littler kid he had a hard time playing in them. The light shown through the colored walls as their breathing was amplified by its tight conditions. Twice they were nearly trapped in one of the dead ends.

“Take a left!” Francis said in a hushed whisper, he sheathed his stick in one of the belt loops of his shorts. Yuichi lagged behind for a bit but eventually caught up. He squinted his eyes as he and Francis made it back out into daylight.

A far away voice was heard, echoing through the system of tunnels. Louis sounded a lot further away than before.

Francis turned to see Louis looking baffled at a scarf fluttering in the wind like a flag, tied to the outside of one of the lower spires, not at all the spire Yuichi and Francis were in.

Francis looked at Yuichi with wide eyes who simply shrugged with a grin.

“Just wanted to keep the game up a little bit longer.” The other boy beamed at that. He gave Yuichi a light punch to his arm.

“You know, you aren’t that bad afterall.”

Before Yuichi would celebrate the other boy liking him, Francis noticed Louis was no longer at the lower spire. He could hear the sound of him making his way to the upper one. He quickly rearmed himself with his stick and pushed Yuichi onto one of the side ledges. He was ready as Louis appeared, clutching Yuichi’s scarf like the decapitated head of a warrior.

“Sir Thomas.” Francis smirked. “Nice of you to join us!”

He gave a warning swipe that Louis jumped away from.

“How unfortunate you’ll have to die.”

Not giving Louis the chance to give a comeback, Francis lunged. The crack of wood against wood was heard with each attack Louis was able to block. He brought down the sword once more and held it there, pushing down and feeling both sticks bow under the pressure.

“Surrender now Sir Thomas, and perhaps I’ll spare you.” Francis was nearly pushing Louis off balance.

“Never!” He growled.

“You got this Sir Thomas!” Louis turned to see Yuichi cheering him on with a shy smile. The sight seemed to power him on as with all of his strength, Louis flipped Francis off him. Francis’ stick flying out of his hand and sliding under the wall surrounding the spire. Yuichi heard as the stick hit the ground.

Francis looked around him. He only had two ways out, the one Louis was blocking or the slides behind him. He could also jump off the railing but getting another leg cast didn’t sound ideal. He stepped back more and more as Louis approached, stick sword keeping him from fighting back.

“Surely you’ll show mercy!” Francis had gotten onto the actual start of the slide and struggled a bit to keep from sliding down as the rubber slipped under his shoes. Louis kneeled down and set down his stick.

“Not to you, Diesel.”

With a grand flourish, Louis pushed his brother down the slide, feeling a little shock from the static that had collected. Yuichi ran to the banister to see Francis slide down and collapse onto the ground at the bottom.

“I've defeated the evil!” Louis slid down the slide as well, hopping over his brother to prevent crushing him. Yuichi decided to just take the stairs.

“Oh brave prince, you saved me!” Yuichi said in a pitched up voice.

“Now the prince and princess need to get married!” Yuichi turned to see Francis sitting up, brushing sand out of his short hair.

“You’re dead!” Louis protested.

“Shut up!” Francis dug in his pocket and produced a pink ribbon.

“I stole it from some girl.” He said, handing it to his brother. Noticing the look from Yuichi, he shrugged.

“What? She had another one.”

Using the ribbon, Louis wrapped a stand in ring around Yuichi’s finger.

“There!” He exclaimed, clearly proud of his work.

“Now, we’re basically married! All we have to do is have the wedding!” Yuichi felt his face get warm.

“Tomorrow.” Louis decided. Yuichi shook out of his daydream. “We need to get married tomorrow, then Francis can be our officiant. If not, then I don’t know if I’ll see you ever again.”

He grabbed the other boy’s hands and smiled. Yuichi could barely recognize his own voice when he agreed so quickly to the faux marriage. But with the way Louis’ smile widened, Yuichi was sure he would’ve agreed to anything the boy asked of him.

Francis laughed at how eager he was. He claimed he’d help make sure the wedding day was perfect.

The wedding day, unfortunately, never came to be.

A sudden rainstorm prevented Yuichi from attending his own “wedding”, despite his best efforts to get outside. His father refused to let him go out just to get sick. By the time the sun came back Yuichi came to a terrible realization. The family had moved out somewhere during the storm, leaving nothing behind except the ring of ribbon still wrapped around Yuichi’s finger and the lingering regret that Yuichi hadn’t talked to him sooner.

Yuichi grew up fine without Louis. Eventually even forgetting about him like most children did their first loves. That was, until the same boy Yuichi had fallen for popped back up in his life on a bullet train to Kyoto, now bearing the name Lemon. He thought by now his feelings would’ve faded, how surprised he was to find they had persisted throughout the years and had simply been masked over.

This brought Yuichi to his current situation, lying comfortably on a past love that he thought would just remain as such. Yuichi hadn't even noticed he was spacing out until Lemon waved a hand in front of his eyes.

“Yuichi? Nickel for your thoughts? Or, penny, I guess. You know, I always found it weird that it was a penny and not like, a dollar! If I wanted to know someone’s thoughts that badly I reckon I’d give them at least two quid. And if they didn’t tell I could always give them somethin’ else.” Lemon cracked his knuckles and winked. Yuichi smiled, readjusting to settle closer to Lemon’s shoulder.

“It’s nothing, dear.” Yuichi looped the ribbon he had insisted his father sew into the hem of his scarf around his fingers.

“Nothing at all.”
