[1 - 100 Drabble] Batch 4 - #51-#60
Batch 4 of my 1(word) to 100(words) drabble countdown.
As a fair warning, this batch is mostly angst. I seem to totally have this thing where I can't stop wanting to write angst, I tried not to and failed. X{ So I think I'll take a break after this batch of drabbles 'til i'm over my angst phase. It's really starting to kill me. XP
Batch 1(01-25) is here
Batch 2(26-40) is here
Batch 3(41-50) is here
51
Kazuya remembers a boy with a high-pitched laugh and crooked smile. He remembers shyly holding hands and sharing clumsy first kisses.
Jin remembers a boy with a crooked nose and thin bashful smile. He remembers dancing in the rain and soft tender caresses.
They had promised each other forever… and yet…
52
Jin leaned against the ship’s railing, his future bride inside the cabin talking amicably.
But all Jin could hear was the remnants of a low raspy voice. All he could see was the sad smile on Kazuya’s face as he left the other behind.
Jin turned towards the pier regretfully once more.
53
It wasn’t supposed to mean anything; just a harmless joke. A simple brushing of their lips. He just wanted to tease the younger boy a little.
But Jin hadn’t anticipated the soft pressure against his lips as Kazuya responded back. Jin never expected to realize just how much he had wanted the kiss.
54
Kazuya lies pressed flushed against Jin, unshed tears clinging to his eyelashes which Jin silently brushes his lips against. As Kazuya struggles to choke back a sob, Jin stills him with a desperate kiss.
Tonight is all they have. When morning comes they will become merely friends. Tomorrow there would be time for tears.
55
They would’ve lived in a quaint, cozy home with a yard where the dogs could play. They would’ve adopted a little girl with hazel eyes and wavy, black hair.
There had been so many dreams for the future, but Jin was gone from his life now and Kazuya still doesn’t know where it went wrong.
56
One, two, three, One, two, three…
“You’re doing it wrong.”
Jin gets up to place his hands on Kazuya’s thin waist and pulls the smaller man close. His hands slide down to rest on Kazuya’s hips and push to gently guide them into slow rolls.
Jin huskily whispers into Kazuya’s ear, “It’s all about the grind.”
57
“Ne, let’s hold hands.”
For a moment Jin considers the notion, but then he remembers where they are, and in front of the cameras they’re only Akanishi and Kamenashi.
“Ha?!”
But once behind the closed door there’s a hand waiting and reaching to twine with his own, and for the briefest of moments they’re Jin and Kazuya.
58
“Let’s make some memories!” Kazuya says brightly one day, camera in hand.
Jin simply smiles back, “Okay.”
“One, two, three, Cheese~”
*Flash*
That was the last picture they took before Kazuya disappears from Jin’s side.
Memories, Kazuya liked to call them, and in the end that’s all Jin was left with. Boxes and albums full of bittersweet memories.
59
“Papa!” Small hands anxiously shake Jin’s shoulder, “Wake up, time for breakfast! PAPA!”
“Jin, Mina~” A voice calls from the doorway.
“Daddy!♥”
A larger hand caresses his arm and Jin pulls the other down, “Morning Kazu.”
“Me too!” The small girl cries.
Jin reaches for her, “Morning love.”
That’s usually when Jin wakes up to face the cold reality.
60
“Jin…I wanted to be able to tell you to move on…but I’m not strong enough to.
Sorry for being selfish, but can I be a little more selfish?
Even after you do move on and fall in love again, it’d be nice if you’d sometimes remember me.”
Tears slide down Jin’s face, “Baka Kazuya, I’ll never forget you.”
