Summary: A series of 100 drabbles centers on Fay and Kurogane. Challenge themes ganked from
here!
Notes: My goal is to post two drabbles at a time, preferably once a day at the very least. Drabbles will not all be canon. They will not all be AU. It's all a surprise!
Unbreakable
The single gaze of an eye. A sad smile. Fingers brushing lightly over cotton. Had this been just days earlier, that fabric would have had an arm in it - swinging at him for making such a forward motion.
But there was nothing. There was only the sound of light breathing, and the occasional bird chirping outside the window.
The sad smile had faded. Things had changed in those moments.
“Stop making that face, moron.” The voice was deep, groggy with sleep. Kurogane had barely managed consciousness. “I’d do it again if I had…”
He trailed off, drifting back into his state of medicine-induced sleep. Certain bonds, once forged, would remain untouchable.
Obsession
The wide grins were the ones that drove Kurogane crazy. Others took it at surface value, but the ninja knew there was more to the strange magician than he let on. Every variety of his smile had a completely different tone. Some were obvious in expression, but others had subtleties that weren’t easily noticed by the kids. It would be the way one corner of his mouth curved slightly more than the other. It could be how many teeth he showed.
Sometimes it wasn’t even in the smile itself. There were times when Fay would look past who ever he was talking to, or the way he would brush a stray, blonde lock from over his eyes. It could be the way his eyebrow quirked, the way his head cocked to the left slightly, or how in almost every case, his lids would close in an effort to hide the depth behind his azure eyes.
Each of Fay’s smiles drove him crazy because he needed to know what each one meant.
