I need to learn to think things through.

*sigh* How do i get myself into these things? By being greedy. I don't even think 15 people here care.

The first fifteen commenters who give me awesome prompts get to request a drabble from me. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for. OK, so just request, ok? Because y'all

so i went to bed. And as my head hit the pillow, i started thinking about things i could fill in the blank in your prompt with. And now I get an hour less sleep and you get a drabble. Life is beautiful sometimes.

They get coffee in the little place down on the corner. It's a Tully's, but still manages to pull of 'homey' despite the franchise. And their cookies all come from a local bakery and are kind of like heaven on earth. It is unexpected, unplanned, downtime and a rescheduled interview coinciding by chance, but this is their usual place, or it would be if they had one, so this is where they go.

It feels like they haven't seen each other in weeks, haven't actually talked in forever, and maybe they haven't. They have their busy schedules and their busy lives: an album release for Yamapi; for Toma, it's another drama coming on the heels of the last. 4TOPS was a long time ago; friends are friends, but maybe they aren't exactly, as time and distance take their toll and suddenly you notice all the little things you don't know anymore. Toma gets his usual coffee and wonders if the latte and cookie Yamapi orders are Yamapi's usual, or if Yamapi's being adventurous today.

Yamapi shreds his cookie before he eats it, dissecting it for the chocolate chips and leaving the sad remains of the dough as a pile of rubble on the plastic wrap the cookie came in. Toma thinks it looks like a broken building, sad and lonely, so he eats it even though he hadn't wanted a cookie because he doesn't like feeling lonely.

Toma turns the cup in his hands slowly, watching the steam rise and the cup swirl around the warm milky brown liquid inside. It's funny, how the cup moves, but the coffee doesn't want to, whirlpooling reluctantly into a darker brown spiral and milky-light arms. "I wish I had a time-machine," he says.

Yamapi looks at him, but Toma keeps his eyes on the rotating cup like he's watching the world turn and if he stops the world just might stop too. "Why?" Yamapi asks.

"To make time." Toma replies. He doesn't want to change the past, and he doesn't need to see the future. He just wants a little bit more of the present. "To make more time," he repeats, slowly, thoughtful, and Yamapi wonders where he really is right now, not knowing that Toma is all there, all the time. Because it's Yamapi. To make more time. With you.

make that "If only i had a time-machine," when Toma says it. Apparently, i mis-remembered the prompt.

I got an incoherent flail! w00t! (<-- for some reason, that makes me think of Bryan O)

I didn't mean to make you sad, but it is a very tragic kind of piece.

I love stalking this post, because such beautiful pieces like this come from it.

I loved how you chose Tully's (reminds me of the one down the street from 上智; you know, the one above the pub, on the way to the pretty!bookstore). Simple lines like, Toma gets his usual coffee and wonders if the latte and cookie Yamapi orders are Yamapi's usual, or if Yamapi's being adventurous today totally got to me. Because it's something that gets taken for granted often and the fact that Toma picks up on that is just... words cannot express. :)

Actually, I was thinking of that Tully's when i used it.

I'm glad you liked this one, because I liked it a lot, and you picked out one of my favourite lines. ♥
