hollywarner/Serendipity: Kaleido Star - Layla/Sora (330 words)
Rolling out of bed, Layla stumbled towards the bathroom. She could hear Sora humming to herself in there, and smiled to herself as she planned out a surprise attack. (one that would hopefully lead to a lot of morning sex) Creeping up to the closed door, she crashed it open only to feel her jaw drop in surprise.
"Uh, Sora?"
"What?" Sora asked, utterly composed as she applied mascara in front of the mirror.
"Wh-what happened to your hair?" Layla stammered.
Sora touched her hair briefly, letting the strands fall through her finger before resuming her makeup routine.
"Oh this?" she said, "I just thought it was time for a hair color change. Purple was getting boring."
"In-deed..." Layla said slowly, still trying to take in the image before her.
At the lukewarm response from Layla, Sora turned and pouted.
"Do you not think it’s pretty?” she asked, eyes growing wide and sad.
"Nonono," Layla stuttered quickly, "It's beautiful."
"It's just I went to bed with a girl with purple hair, and I woke up to a girl with red hair..." Layla trailed off, her face suddenly contorting into a look of contemplation.
"Wait, what do you mean your purple hair was getting boring? Your hair wasn't natural?"
Sora blinked, then giggled.
"Wow, and here I thought dumb blondes were a myth!"
Layla blushed and growled.
"Why you!"
She tackled Sora and pinned her against the wall. Her eyes narrowed, she glared at Sora, who grinned weakly back.
"Tell me I'm not a dumb blonde," Layla whispered darkly.
"No," Sora whispered back.
"I'll tickle you," Layla threatened.
"Never," Sora retorted, though she gasped and trembled as Layla's fingers trailed down, poised to attack Sora's midriff.
Just as Layla’s fingers brushed against Sora’s belly, she whimpered, "You're a very sexy blonde though.”
Layla paused thoughtfully.
"Well, I guess I'll settle for that," she finally said, and captured Sora in a kiss. (one that would definitely lead to lots of morning sex)

hyujin: Simoun - Anubituf/Guragief (297 words)
Anubituf stretched and yawned in the command room of the Arcus Prima. The sunlight was just beginning to filter in through the glass windows. He stared out at the sea fondly, basking in his last day as the commander of the Arcus Prima.
Guragief shuffled in a few minutes later, but remained in the doorway unnoticed. He looked at the ground awkwardly.
"Anubituf?"
Anubituf started, then chuckled upon noticing Guragief.
"Guragief," he said, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
Guragief looked up, then made to take a step forwards, but held back.
"What are you going to be doing after this?" he asked Anubituf.
A thoughtful looked crossed over Anubituf's face.
"I hadn't thought about it yet, to be honest," he admitted. He shrugged. "Maybe I'll grow my hair out, get some glasses."
Guragief stared at Anubituf in confusion.
"Adopt the librarian look, you know," Anubituf continued. He winked at Guragief. "Don't you think it would be sexy?"
Guragief's cheeks colored. He clenched his fists and took a step forward, yelling in frustration, "Anubituf! Now is not the time to be joking!"
Anubituf's face fell. "I suppose not," he sighed. He turned to face Guragief and smiled wryly.
“Come here.”
Guragief shook his head angrily, but walked over obediently to Anubituf. He felt himself turn red under Anubituf’s intense gaze. They both turned to stare out the window, and silence descended upon them. Guragief sneaked glances at Anubituf, wondering if the man would say anything else.
Finally Anubituf asked, "So what do you think you'll do, Guragief?"
Guragief wrinkled his nose. After a slight pause, he replied, "Well, I suppose I could get some earrings and cultivate a punk rock look."
Anubituf blinked, then laughed deeply. He wrapped an arm around Guragief.
"Now that's the spirit!"

#3: For [MA Forums]pigtopus: Negima - Konoka/Setsuna
Okay you didn't really request this, but since you have no presents... *shrugs* (182 words)
"Secchan?"
"What?"
"I am about to kiss you, okay?"
Setsuna started. "WHAT?" she yelped, staring at Konoka's smiling face, which was all of a sudden entirely too close.
"I said that I'm going to kiss you now."
"But-but-why?"
"Because I like you?"
"Ummm..."
"Look," Konoka said, by some magical anime force suddenly towering over Setsuna, "Do you want me to just kiss you, or do you want me to suddenly procure mistletoe so that a silly fanfiction cliche is created and I have to?"
"Uhhh..." Setsuna with a shock realized that she had not been breathing this entire time, and collapsed to the floor in a faint.
"Oh dear Secchan!" Konoka squealed, and bent down, cradling Setsuna's head in her lap.
"Are you okay?" she asked Setsuna, who mumbled unintelligibly in response.
"Don't worry," Konoka declared, "I'll heal you!"
With that, she focused on Setsuna's face. White power began to emanate from her glowing form, and she bent down and kissed Setsuna.
Setsuna truly did black out.
Konoka stared at Setsuna in horror. "Oh no," she cried, "My healing powers didn't work!"

"I like this picture the best," Konoka said, holding up the photo so that it caught the sunlight.
"Hmm," Setsuna responded, bending down to get a better look at the picture. Her hand enclosed Konoka's gently to adjust the picture. Konoka sighed and snuggled further into Setsuna's lap.
"Wow," Setsuna said, blinking, "this is really old. I think it might have even been before the first time we kissed."
"It was," Konoka said, grinning, "but that was because you were too shy to kiss me."
"Was not!" Setsuna protested, blushing.
"Were too," Konoka responded, giggling. "You even ran away when I tried to hug you!"
Setsuna mock-glared at Konoka.
"That was because you were, uh, too forward for me."
Konoka broke out into a wide smile, then flipped over to sprawl across Setsuna. She placed her hands on Setsuna’s shoulders and slowly brought herself up so that she was face-to-face with Setsuna.
"Well," she said, touching Setsuna on the nose lightly, then leaning in, "You can make up for all those missing kisses now."
