October already, mein gott.
woo, feels like it's been a while since I've written here...though it's been more like a month. Plunnies have been nibbling at my feet, but need to feed them more to see where they're going.
In either case, I actually was experimenting with drabbles but ending up writing flashfics instead. Definitely reminded me of the writing classes I took way back when where our teacher was telling us how much harder it is to write short works and put just enough detail in a limited space to tie things together. I'm not sure where these came from...they're somewhat random and not connected. and rough. Enjoy? ^^;;
Flashfic1:
Yoochun is an actor first. He almost closes the door completely, until there is only a sliver of light emanating from the studio. He dims the studio lights slightly, and sits on the piano, spreading out music on the rack and on top of the piano. For effect, he lets some of the sheets flutter to the floor, along with some pencils. He doesn't play anything at first, just sits and closes his eyes while letting his arms hang. Then he places his hands gently over the keys, stroking over the white and black but not pushing down hard enough to make any sound. His hands flutter a silent concerto, as he lets his body sway slightly. His eyes, of course, are still closed until he finally finishes and lets his eyes snap open. He inhales sharply before raining on the keys, wreaking havoc aggressively against the poor, innocent wood, thundering and pounding the pedals with his foot. The sounds echo harshly, chaotically, ricocheting down the hallway with aggression. And then he is done, sweating and breathing hard and even tearing slightly at the eyes for effect.
He is an entertainer second.
But he will always be a musician, no matter how commercial he may become.

Flashfic2:
White nectarine and pink coral flower is probably the girliest combination Yunho has ever heard of, but he can't help but sniff the orange and green shampoo bottle intently, the strong, sweet scent reminding him so much of his dongsaeng. Changmin had asked Jaejoong to pick up some shampoo for him, and Jae, of course, had picked the most brightly colored, garish looking bottle Yunho had ever seen. Changmin hadn't really said anything of Jae's choice, just commented, "I'll still use it hyung, I don't care," as if issuing a challenge on Jae's choice.
Yunho had never really noticed shampoo scents before, but the white nectarine and pink coral flower was so intense that even Junsu commented on it, when he rarely noticed such things. "Minnie smells sweet! Almost like the cakes he wolfs down all the time…" "Whatever Junsu, at least my hair's clean," Changmin had retorted back.
Yunho had first noticed the change when they were doing photoshoots last week. They were in their usual lineup, with Junsu and him at the ends and Jae in the middle. But he detected a distinctly unique smell, a mix of sweet and pure, hitting him quite strongly. He found his nose sniffing on its own, moving closer to the source, before realizing almost too late that he was leaning towards Changmin. Specifically, Changmin's hair, which was now shorter, curlier, and slightly unruly. He pulled away quickly, noting with relief that Changmin seemed to be engaged in some random conversation with Jae. But when he looked up again, Yoochun seemed to be looking at him oddly.
Yunho isn't really sure where he's going with this. He just knows that the scent of that shampoo on Changmin is really appealing to him, in a way that makes Yunho clench inside, makes him breathe just a little bit harder. It's not much more than that, he thinks, and chalks it up to not having smelled anything feminine in so long. Of course, seeing a more grown-up Min with muscles and definition with the contrasting scent is probably what's throwing him off more than anything.
"Hyung? You done with the bathroom yet?"
Yunho hears Changmin's voice filter through the door. He quickly snaps close the shampoo bottle, putting it back on the toiletries rack. Stepping out and running the water to make it seem like he just finished, he quickly wipes his hands on the towel.
"Yeah, sure. All set." Yunho is all smiles to Changmin, while Changmin just nods and go in.
Changmin notices, of course, that his shampoo bottle has been placed in the wrong spot and that there is a tell tale shampoo trail near the drain. He smirks, all too knowingly.

Also, all my longer story plunnies keep degrading into smex. Now, that's not necessarily bad, but I wish I could just write something more waffy. Or at least, try and pull something together with only a pg or pg13 rating.
Of course, the one plunny that keeps biting me the most is with girl!Changmin XDD. I started writing two versions...and yeah, let's just say they got pretty detailed and slightly graphic...
