Scrabbling Along - a DaiSuga ficlet.
I was taking prompts on twitter for one sentence fics and @museicaliteacup suggested DaiSuga and a scrabble anime au. Anyway, I know very little about scrabble, but this was fun. Daichi and Suga are on rival teams ... probably.
Daichi was down to his last two tiles now - his opponent had four, so theoretically he had the upper hand.
J ... if I put that next to the A that’s nine points. Although ...
He scanned the board, and tried not to give away his pleasure, for there just below the triple word score was the O from OCTAVE.
Which had been Sugawara’s word and now a tactical error creaking open an opportunity for Daichi.
And he hated to do this, hated the fact that Sugawara would scowl rather than set the room alight with his sparky smile, but this was a tournament, and Daichi was here to win.
‘JO,’ he said, placing the tile. ‘On a triple word so that’s twenty-seven points.’
The frown did not happen. With a snigger, Sugawara licked his lips, and gave Daichi a wink.
(A wink from the eye with a mole underneath. A wink that made strange fluttery things happen in the region of Daichi’s chest when it was directed at him.)
‘Y F U L,’ Sugawara replied, smirking. ‘JOYFUL, which is what I am now I’ve finished up my tiles.’
