1) I have settled on a tattoo design, but I'm going to wait until I get back from Florida to have it done, because there's going to be a pool and hot tub at the house where we're staying (as well as the pool at my parents' house) and you're not supposed to swim for three months after you get fresh ink. If I get it done right after we get home I'll

Ah, that "life" thing that gets in the way of the internet. I...still haven't read the Hunger Games, but I've also managed to avoid Star Wars Eps 1-3, so I might not be the best one to talk.

Well, back in the day, I loved your website for the rare pairings, so, if you feel like it, a snippet from Suicide Kings (Avery/Brett), Sky High (Warren/Will), or My Bodyguard (young Adam Baldwin!!!!...sorry, I'm okay) would be awesome. And if not, then not. =)

Here is a little My Bodyguard pre-slash for you. Sorry it's kind of lame! In two parts because I'm over by like 300 characters. Stupid comment limits.

“I think Shelley likes you.”

Clifford appears out of nowhere, just like he does every day after school -- and after most of the classes they don’t share -- talking like he’s picking up a conversation they started hours ago. Only Ricky doesn’t remember talking about Shelley or anybody else today, and he doesn’t really want to talk about her now.

Ricky doesn’t answer. Instead he grunts and swings his locker shut, letting the metal clang as he turns on his heel and heads down the hall. Clifford’s right behind him, taking two steps for each of Ricky’s and breathing a little heavier by the time they reach the front door. But he’s still talking, like he really thinks Ricky cares what Shelley thinks about anything. Or maybe Clifford cares what Shelley thinks, and that’s something else Ricky doesn’t really want to think about

Part Two

[carolinecrane]

Clifford laughs and lets Ricky pull him back onto the path, following the bikes toward the lake where their friends are probably waiting at their usual table. For awhile neither of them says anything, and Ricky knows he could just let it drop and Clifford would let him. That’s what he should do, and that’s what he tells himself even while he’s opening his mouth to say, “So you think I’m great, huh?”

He steals a glance in Clifford’s direction, watches the way Clifford smiles and kind of ducks his head. Shy, for the first time ever, maybe, then Clifford’s shoulder bumps Ricky’s bicep and he grins up at Ricky. “Yeah, you’re all right. Shelley could do worse.”

“Not interested,” Ricky says, but before Clifford gets a chance to ask who he is interested in, they reach the table where Carson and Shelley and that dark-haired friend of hers are sitting. Shelley grins up at him, but Ricky ignores her and shoves Carson over to make room for him and Clifford on the bench

Oh yes! I didn't even know I needed Ricky/Clifford today until I read this and now my day feels complete! Oh, Clifford, you poor clueless sot! Ricky loves you too. I just rewatched the movie last week while reorganizing my Halloween stuff.
