So, went to see a traditional Chinese dance show last night -- absolutely gorgeous, and now, tons of inspiration in my head for SaiMono fics. XD And luckily, a bit more to go on with current "Sweetest Dreams". Yay!
Outline for new fic:
Chars:
Kochou-neesan
Seiran
Shuurei
Shouka-dono
Ran Shuuei?
Location:
Kochou's bar/brothel
Indoors, outdoors
Shuurei's house
Breakdown:
Kochou smothers/cuddles Shuurei after noticing Shuurei's not as enthusiastic as usual / losing her temper with Seiran.
Shuurei mentions to Kochou that she's had to make supper by herself the past few nights, as Seiran & her father have been working late.
When they did try to help, they messed things up.
Kochou sends Shuurei out on an errand to pick up more food from a nearby market, has her girls bring Seiran in.
Does chopstick dance (neck/throat, chest, waist, legs/thighs, drum beat); loses her scarves, shawls. Flirts with him.
Seiran acts normal, pulls away a bit, tries to bow out.
Shuurei comes back, sees Kochou & Seiran together, Seiran says their day is done. Kochou gives affectionate goodbye, wishes them well.
Go home, Shuurei starts getting their food ready; pulls out chopsticks; Seiran tries to make excuses, leave to do other chores; Shuurei loses temper.
Seiran stays, fumbles, (include descriptions of his physical reactions / stuttering as he watches her, flashes back to Kochou's chopstick tease) insists he do cooking.
Next day, Shouka-dono comes home early from work to surprise Seiran & Shuurei by cooking supper.
Shuurei walks in, Seiran smells supper, sees Shouka using chopsticks.
Seiran gets uncomfortable.
To keep in mind:
-timeline
-physical locations of different chars
-physical interaction
-sensuality of movements / language
-being subtle re: Seiran's actions (not from his POV; write as if watching him; he doesn't react much; it's what he doesn't say)
-anachronisms
Fic Duration / Lifespan:
-One-shot? Future Series? Other things Shuurei could mention to Kochou?...
-Kochou-neesan fixes Shuurei's other minor Seiran/Shouka issues
-possible ideas: laundry (stripping), manners (interacting with girls), washing up before supper (bathing) ...
