Music Meme, Hetalia: Axis Powers responses
Original meme:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them~.
Hans Zimmer - “He's a Pirate”
England shoved his gun in his belt and gave his First Mate a cocky grin. “And that, Smith, is how it's done.”
“Aye, Cap'n.”
England nodded and turned to his crew. “Get ready to board!”
The men cheered.
Wada Kaoru - “Fierce Battle”
Japan swung and ducked fluidly after his strike pierced his foe. Before the dead samurai could fall to the ground Japan had moved on into the black night, not bothering to wipe the blood from his face. Tonight he was not a nation, but a warrior.
Kaneda Tomoko - “Kokoro Oasis”
Taiwan laughed brightly, her arms slashing and twirling through the air as Jhong Kong watched her boredly. “Oh, come on!” she cried out between beats when she had the breath to spare.
Her brother's blank stare was his only response.
“It's not that difficult.”
No change.
“I'll tell China-nii about what you said that one time you and Macau got drunk-”
Hong Kong's eyes widened, and as the song continued blaring from the speakers he tried to make himself believe that the only reason he was getting up from his seat on the floor was to see if this para para really was a good workout, as Taiwan had said, and not because he didn't want his oldest brother finding out what had happened that night.
He would have to see if it was trademark infringement to use the phrase “What happens in Macau stays in Macau.”
Groove Coverage - “Poison (Then Up! Remix)”
Hungary squeezed her eyes tightly as she curled inwards, pulling the blankets closer to her bruised body. Her entire body hurt, and the hot tears fighting past her closed lids trailed down her hollowed cheeks only reminded her of how cold she was.
The thin mattress creaked upon its rusted bed frame, but she was too weary to see who had joined her. She tensed, expecting Russian words to fall upon her ear, but it was Feliks cuddling up behind her. He was muttering a stream of Polish curses.
“We'll make it,” he told her when he had settled down, his forehead pressed between her shoulder blades. “We'll make it.”
Elefante - “Bonita”
The music was like water, constantly changing. One moment the rhythm was hard and fast, urging the dancers to stamp their feet and swing their hips. The next it was slow and quiet, and the dancers came together, sharing breaths without a word.
Spain's hands came up to settle on her waist, and Belgium raised a brow playfully in reply. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see her brother cross his arms across his chest in displeasure, but it only made her smile all the more.
