Music drabble meme with a little Lavi/Kanda, Allen/Lavi
Aha... posting again since this is irrelevant to what I posted a few mere seconds ago, sorry. >.< I guess most are familiar with the music drabble meme going around now? Since some yaoi ended up in mine, I thought I'd share. ^^;>
1. Pick a fandom.
2. Put your music player on random.
3. Write a drabble for the first ten songs that come on. You have the length of the song to write, no going over, no matter how it might sound.

5. Profit!

1. Mary of Silence - Mazzy Star
Marie/Miranda
Help me get a hold of you.... I thought of myself beside of you
When Miranda was snatched from Marie's grasp that day, his heart filled with panic. The sudden loss of her presence beside him was shocking for so many reasons--a comrade taken, about to be beaten, trapped. They had only known each other a few days, but already he was used to her heartbeat, the rhythm that was uniquely hers; the hum of her blood was a comforting sound, almost familiar. He wasn't prepared to lose that comfort. He wasn't prepared to lose another comrade. He wasn't prepared to lose this war.
Once she was safe in his arms again, once it was all over and she could finally rest, he touched her wrist and felt the beat of that blood, her pulse fluttering weak as a bird's.
2. Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Lavi/Kanda
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you/You don't care a bit
"What the hell is going on, Yuu? Can you tell me that much?" Lavi stared at Kanda's back, brow furrowed with confusion and desperation, needing an answer.
"This isn't the time for--"
"No time is the right time!" Lavi grabbed Kanda's arm, jerking him around to face him, prepared to defend himself. He was too frustrated to be calm, to think rationally, to give a damn. But Kanda didn't retaliate. He let himself be yanked around into Lavi's arms, avoiding his eye, staring instead over his right shoulder. His expression was the usual sort of non-expression he always wore, but there was something hurt hiding beneath the surface. Lavi could see it.
Kanda swallowed to wet his dry throat, then finally opened his mouth. "You don't care."
3. Psycho Man (Danny Saber Remix) - Black Sabbath
Tyki Mikk
Stalking gives him pleasure/Killing is the final act/He takes no pity with his lust for death
Tyki walked amongst the crowd, just another proud gentleman in top hat and pristine white gloves, gloves he never dirtied. Ahead of him was a man in a black coat adorned with silver buttons and a silver cross. His body ached for the man, he felt as though he would burst from his skin with need, and it was extremely difficult to hide the malicious, inhuman grin on his face. He tugged his hat a little lower over his eyes, managing a charming smile for a young lady who passed.
The Exorcist suddenly ducked into an alley, and Tyki smirked, following. The man wasn't there, however, and it was a dead end. He stopped, sensing the presence behind him, and neatly sidestepped the attack. He let loose the grin at last, as his skin was washed with gray and the distinctive stigmata ticked his forehead. The Exorcist was only mildly alarmed, then he gritted his teeth with determination.
Three minutes later, the man was dead at Tyki's feet, staring back at him with empty, occluded eyes. No longer grinning, he knelt to pluck a silver button from the dead man's coat, stood and read the name etched on the back, then tucked it into his pocket.
Tyki tilted his hat and frowned. "You didn't entertain me at all."
4. Wig in a Box - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Jasdevi
I put on some makeup.... I take the wig down off the shelf
Jasdevi carefully brushed the tangles from his hair, along with the flakes of blood that had dried amongst the yellow strands. He sniffed and flipped his hair off his shoulder, setting the brush down and reaching for the kohl he used around his eyes. He leaned toward the mirror, applying it to one eye quickly and precisely, so used to the routine he could do it in his sleep. Once that was done he stood and assessed himself critically, turning to look at his backside, deciding it was time for a change of style. To the wardrobe he went, reaching for a round box on the shelf. Inside was a long, wavy red wig. He took it out, combed his fingers through it.
"Wouldn't I look good in red?" he said aloud in a single voice, petting the wig thoughtfully.
"Whatever," he answered himself, in a different voice.
5. Pine - Ruby
Tyki+Allen
I've made my head and there I'll hide/My mouth a grin/My muscle taut/My mind is clear, devoid of thought
Allen couldn't stop thinking about it. One moment Tyki Mikk was a normal human, the next he... was a monster. And Allen had been certain, for the second time, that he would die, would die again at Tyki Mikk's hands.
And now he was haunted, haunted by his own reflection, the face with a grin he remembered on Tyki's face as he lay dying in the bamboo grove. He remembered Tyki's hand inside him, Tyki's smug expression, then the disconnect from sanity in his eyes. And now Allen was seeing it in his own eyes--insanity.
6. Fountain - PJ Harvey
Lavi/Kanda
Hand in hand/He's my big man/Stays with me some forty days/No words/Then goes away/I cry again
This was exactly the reason why Kanda hadn't wanted to let Lavi in. Within two months time, after a kiss had turned everything around, had made him too dizzy to regain his balance, they'd gone from comrades in arms to lovers in the same bed. That night they had made love--that's what Lavi preferred to call it, though Kanda disliked the term. He didn't want to think of love. He didn't want to acknowledge love, being loved or being in love. But he knew it was too late, too late to turn back, too late to let go. Doing so would be like cutting out his own heart.
Standing in the shower alone, he rested his forehead against the wall and grit his teeth. Lavi had been called out to a mission; Bookman had said it was urgent. He'd left Kanda alone. Again. He clenched his hand into a fist and tried to swallow the anxiety and the disgusting fear that gripped him. Don't die, you idiot rabbit. Don't you dare die.
7. How the Gods Kill - Danzig
Lavi+Linali+Allen
They cannot end this morning of my life/Show me how the gods kill
["I don't like it, old man. I don't like this place." Lavi crossed his arms on the desk and leaned against it heavily, shoulders slumped.
"You're not here to like it, Lavi," Bookman answered, snapping a book shut and replacing it on the bookshelf.
"Yeah, I know. But... back there... all those coffins..." The face of that girl flashed into his mind again, her tearful empty eyes, looking right at him and not seeing him at all. "Why's god so cruel? I don't like workin' for a god like that."
"You're not here to believe in god, either." Bookman gave him a look that forbid further complaints, so Lavi just sighed and sat back, picking up his pen.
"I know. But I gotta act like it. It's hard to act when I hate it this much."]
Lavi reflected on that moment as he sat with his hands folded in prayer, touching his lips, thinking of Linali's face as she had dropped toward the sea. She'd said she had it covered, but he'd been terrified the entire time. And now he was about to lose his mind with worry. First Allen, now Linali... God couldn't take away another. Bookman had no need for a heart, but it was too late for him. He wouldn't let this cruel god take it away from him.
8. On Your Way Down - Stabbing Westward
Millennium Earl+Cross
I hope I see you on your way down/I hope you break every bone/I hope it kills you on your way down/And I hope you die alone
That man... he would kill that man. Whether by his own hand or by causing his self-destruction, he would eliminate him and overcome the obstacle he had created for his family. To see Cross Marian mired in blood and gore would be a beautiful picture, one to keep with him to the end of this sinful world. He would be there to take that picture. He would be there to stand in his dying vision, a mocking, laughing shadow.
9. Importune Me No More - Faith and the Muse
Sheryl+Tyki+Rhode
When I was fair and young, and favor graced me/Of many was I sought their mistress for to be/But I did scorn them all, and answered them therefore/Go, go, seek some otherwhere/Importune me no more
Rhode was dancing, the perfect little lady in lace and bows and a flower in her hair, with a boy her own apparent age, laughing with him, playing at adults. Sheryl was watching from a distance, tears in his eyes, clutching a handkerchief dotted with blood.
"If it bothers you so much, why don't you go break them up? You are her father." Tyki took a drag off his cigarette, avoiding the crowd for the time being. He needed a rest.
"I can't! She's so cute, I can't bear to break them up!" He sniffed and blinked the tears away.
Tyki rolled his eyes, missing the moment Rhode left the boy behind, cried out Sheryl's name, and leapt into his arms.
10. Around the Bend - The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
Allen/Lavi
Give me that thing/Give it, my friend/Give me hot hot love around the bend
"You know what I want, Lavi. Stop playing dumb."
Lavi swallowed hard and took a step back, hitting the wall. "Allen... I dunno if this is really the right thing to--"
Allen put his hands on Lavi's face, his eyelids heavy and his voice low, suggestive. He felt the blood rush into his cheeks, unable to look away.
"I want you. You want me. Just let it go."
Lavi smiled nervously, feeling his morals and hesitation caving in. He closed his eyes as Allen leaned up, pressing his lips to his, sweetened by candy, so warm. Allen's arms wound around his neck as his wound around Allen's waist in turn, tongue seeking out that sweet taste.
