Title: 10 Drabbles
Summary: Drabbles from the cannon and AU's based off of songs from nu iTunes.
Notes: Well these are unedited and written in the timeframe of the songs. So they are probably pretty bad.
1. Believe In You - Amanda Marshall
"I'm going to come out," Jasper said in between bites of spaghetti at dinner.
"Your what?" Ryan said as he tried not to choke on the long noodles.
"I'm going to come out," Jasper repeated. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine," Ryan said, trying to catch his breath but he had stopped choking. "You just surprised me. Give me a little warning next time. Why are you doing this?"
"The teens committing suicide and everything. I just don't want to hide."
"I'll be there no matter what, no matter how you do this," Ryan said, reaching across the table to grasp Jasper's hand.
"Thank you," Jasper said, smiling.
"I know that you can do this. Its going to help a lot of people. I love you."
"Love you too."
2. If I Never See Your Face Again - Maroon 5
"I could live my whole life with out ever seeing you again," Romeo was screaming at Alex, who stood on the opposite side of the room.
"You don't mean that," Alex said, but his voice was shaky.
"Of course I do. You cheated on me. You lied to me," Romeo snarled. "Why the hell would I want to see you again? I wasn't good enough for you so you should be able to live without seeing me again."
"I love you," there were tears in Alex's eyes that threatened to overflow.
"I don’t care Alex. Don't you get that?" Romeo turned his back on Alex. "Get out of my house Alex. Come back to get your stuff later."
3. Angels Would Fall - Melissa Etheridge
I wanted him. I can't deny that. I make stupid decisions when it comes to love and lust. The first person I fell in love with, my band mate who was already dating the lead singer, speaks for that in itself.
This takes the cake though. He is a baseball player, a good friend of mine. He is an amazing ball player and an amazing person (though I'm probably biased in that). Here's the problem, he is most likely straight and, on the off chance he is gay, he would be deep in the closet.
So I'll stick with being his friend and admiring him from afar. Its less risky that way. I won't have to worry about losing a friend in the process.
4. Come to my Window - Melissa Etheridge
"Come over tonight," Ryan said, talking on the phone to Jasper.
"You mentioned something earlier about paparazzi stalking you for some reason," Jasper said.
"I don’t care," Ryan said with a sigh and a look out the window. Surrounding the house was a few photographers.
:You don't care about what? Being seen with me?" Jasper asked.
"I just want to see my boyfriend. The photogs can go to hell for all I care," Ryan said, exasperated. "I want to see you."
"You sure about that?" Ryan wasn't sure if he could here jingling of keys over the line.
5. Take My Hand - The Cab
"Want to run away?" Alex says with a carefree grin. Ryan looks at his boyfriend like he's insane.
"What?"
"Not forever, just for a few days. To keep people from wanting to murder us," Alex said, flopping down beside Ryan on the bed.
"I some how doubt that is going to work," Ryan said, turning onto his side to look at Alex.
"Yeah but we could go to a hotel," Alex said, leering, "Spend a few days in bed without having to leave the room. There would be room service and everything."
"You've thought this through haven't you?"
6. Lie to Me - Bon Jovi
"Do you love me?" Romeo asked suddenly. He had been immersed in a book and hadn't even appeared to realize that Alex had walked into the room to watch TV. It seemed that he had.
"Why would you even ask that?" Alex looked genuinely shocked. Romeo can't (won't) tell him the truth. That Romeo heard the message from Ryan on the answering machine and he knows that Alex was cheating on him.
"Just want to know," Romeo takes his eyes off the book and looked nervously over at Alex.
"Of course I love you," It doesn't seem to have the same conviction in it that it used to when Alex said it. Romeo can't tell if its a complete lie though, he doesn't know how much truth is hidden in the sentence.
Its good enough for Romeo though. He's not sure he would want (could handle) the truth if Alex gave it to him.
7. Dragging the River (featuring Miranda Lambert) - Blake Shelton
"You asked my Dad if you could take my hand?" Sarah is staring at Sammy as they sit on the park bench. "Seriously?"
"I wanted to do it the proper way," Sammy said, noticing the look on Sarah's face, caught between laughter and exasperation. "Don't give me that look. I know he hates me, I just wanted to give it a shot."
"And what did he say to you?"
"He told me I could the day Hell freezes over," they both end up laughing, it was the only way they could deal with the situation.
"So what do we do now?" Sarah asked.
"We could always elope? " Sammy suggested.
8. We Are The Champions - Queen
Jasper was one of the first in the pile just in front of the mound. Everyone had jumped on the pitcher and catcher, and Jasper briefly felt sorry for them, trapped under the body weight of at least twenty three other men.
Everyone was screaming, the fans, the players, the coaches, everyone. Some of the people on the top of the dog pile started to pull off, moving to the side to just jump and hug and celebrate. Jasper had a huge grin on his face.
The Toronto Blue Jays had won the World Series and there was no stopping the celebration.
9. Damned - Bon Jovi
Ryan lay in Alex and Romeo's bed, wide awake while Alex lay fast asleep beside him. There was nothing he could do to stop thinking about it as Romeo's bad as well. He and Alex had been doing this since Romeo had left to go to the States.
He knew it was wrong, no matter if Alex loved him or not. He was still the other man in a relationship, something that he never thought he would be or wanted to be. And yet, here he was, sleeping with someone who was already with someone.
Ryan was scared about what would happen if Romeo ever found out. He was pretty sure they would never find his body by the time Romeo got through with him. It was a pretty sure thing that he would be as good as dead.
10. Nervous - Melissa Etheridge
Ryan was nervous when ever he ended up hanging out with any of Jasper's teammates. It didn't happen too often but when it did he felt so out of place.
That was the one time he had to hide himself. He couldn't risk outing Jasper or pissing off a bunch of ballplayers, likely homophobic ballplayers. It was stereotyping but he couldn't risk it, not for him and not for Jasper.
Ryan just wanted some alone time with his boyfriend and Ryan was scared that he would do something stupid, something that would hurt Jasper as well.
