4. lyndon_head; Baccano!; Nice/Jacuzzi [210 words]
Tears flow down his cheeks, neatly outlining one edge of his tattoo. "I really didn't want to hurt them," Jacuzzi says.
Nice is gripping the matchbook tight enough that the corners dig into her palm. "I know," she says.
"I'm not crying." His eyes shine wet in the glow of the streetlight.
She's trembling as she takes out a cigarette, and the disquieting cocktail of adrenaline and relief coursing through her veins nearly makes her drop it. "I know you're not." The head of the first match goes flying as she strikes it with far more force than necessary.
"Nice, you're shaking," he says softly. Jacuzzi lays one hand on her wrist, as if he's drinking the tremors in, and takes the matchbook from her with the other. He lights her up, and Nice takes a long, deep drag, letting her shivers subside. "So are you," she retorts.
"Your glasses," Jacuzzi says, and he slides the crooked, dirty frames from her face to clean them on his sleeve. Nice doesn't give him the chance. She grabs Jacuzzi by the lapels and kisses him fiercely, and the world stands still.
"Don't worry me like that ever again," she growls when she pulls away, and Jacuzzi laughs, a hoarse little noise of pure satisfaction, and kisses her back.
5. kisforkurama; HSM AU; Danforth the Latte Boy [150 words]
Sharpay Evans heaved a completely overdramatic sigh. This was not unusual - everything Sharpay did was completely overdramatic; it was part of her charm. "Ryan, what is wrong with you."
Her twin was staring out the window - this in and of itself was also not unusual, but he didn't usually look like a dreamy teenage girl when he did it. "Nothing's wrong."
"I'm so sure." She rolled her eyes. " Just tell me."
Ryan looked down - he was being uncharacteristically nervous. Sharpay immediately decided it didn't suit him in the least and it horribly upset their twinly symmetry - and sighed. "There's a boy who works at Starbucks."
Sharpay groaned. "Don't even start."
Ryan gave her a disparaging look. "You could at least pretend to be sympathetic, Shar."
"Not if you start singing, I won't."
"Danforth, the latte boy
Bring me java, bring me joy-"
Sharpay resisted the overwhelming urge to beat her head against the table.

"Captain Azelas. This is an extremely dangerous mission. Knowing that you may not survive, do you still accept?" Basch's voice was gravely serious.
Vossler nodded. "I do, Commander fon Ronsenburg."
"Secondary Commander fon Ronsenburg."
"Shut up, Noah. Then godspeed to you, Ca-"
"What are you guys doing?"
"Go away, Vayne," Vossler groaned.
"Yeah, Vayne, we're busy."
"Nuh-uh. You have to include me 'cause my daddy's important. So there."
"Whatever, Vayne. Okay, Vossler, now you take your army and attack that city over there."
Vayne stomped his foot, glaring daggers at the other boys. "Pay attention to me!"
Noah heaved a longsuffering sigh and shoved Vayne backward.
Basch stared. "Did you just push the prince of Archadia in a mud puddle?"
Vossler grinned.
"Let's get going while the going's good." Noah grabbed Vossler and Basch by the wrists and started off toward the stables. Vayne's shrieks echoed behind them.
"I'M TELLIIIIIIIIIIIING."
Tears flow down his cheeks, neatly outlining one edge of his tattoo. "I really didn't want to hurt them," Jacuzzi says.
