Rating: G/PG
Author Notes: 100 word Drabbles! I wrote these for je100 ages ago and forgot to repost! These are all from when Yone was still in q? ♥ Enjoy!
01.
Cheer up, emo kid.
[Question?], G
It's Yone's birthday and once again there are going-to-the-beach-plans, the whole group barbecuing together. Akun is gesticulating wildly, eyes shining at the prospect of grilled meat, baked potatoes and roasted marshmellows. Gakki and Yori are mostly ignoring him, busy fantasizing about the beach and Yodi concedes, "but only if you find me some shade."
Yone's still hesitating. They have work the next day.
"Come on, Yone," Akun coaxes. "Even Yodi is coming! You can't possibly say no!"
"Fine," Yone finally agrees. "But only if I can sing three ballads at our next live."
"Deal," Akun says.
02.
Jealousy.
[Yone, Ryo , Koyama], G
"Yonemura," Ryo says, storming into Question?'s dressing room, Koyama in tow. "You have to look more enthusiastic during SUMMER TIME. It's about summer! You're supposed to look happy!"
"Who cares." Yone doesn't even look up, just shrugs and strums his guitar.
"The fans care!" Ryo says, annoyed.
"We're just the backing band, though," Yone replies. "Surely everyone is looking at you?"
Ryo turns bright red, mutters something unintelligible and storms out, throwing the door shut with a loud bang. Yone looks up, startled.
"What was that?" he asks. "What's with him?"
Koyama laughs. "He saw someone holding your uchiwa."
03.
Denied
[Question?, Yone/Akun], G
"Get up!" Yone whines impatiently and pokes Akun in the side.
"Do not want," Akun says in his best high-pitched 5-year-old voice and stretches his legs. "Too hot."
Akun's lying on Yone's bedroom floor, head turned to the side and his eyes closed. The heat is almost unbearable; he sighs as he wipes the sweat from his forehead.
"You promised we'd look at houses," Yone tries again. "Please?"
"How about no?" Akun laughs. "You can write a sad song about your friends abandoning you."
Yone wishes he could stay mad at Akun for more than five minutes.
04.
Vampire Cake
[Question?, Yodi/Matchy], G
"Happy Birthday, Yodo-chan!" Matchy crows happily, a generous grin on his face and his vampire-perm scarier than ever. "Here is my special gift for you."
Yodi looks at the cake on the table in front of him, his lips pressed into a tight, forced smile. The cake is gigantic with too much icing and giant red sugary writing, MATCHY with ♥DRUMMY♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!. Small vampire teeth are stuck beneath, and a drumstick intertwined with a matchstick.
“So?” Matchy asks. He sounds particularly pleased with himself. “We're almost the same age, ne, Drummy-chan!”
“I hate cake,” Yodi lies.
05.
Uncomfortable
[Question?, Yone/Akun], PG
"Içecek bir şey ister misin?" the Turkish man says and gives Yone a strange look.
"W-what?" Yone asks, looking around nervously. He'd felt uncomfortable ever since they'd entered this -- this establishment Akun had taken him to. "What is this?! Did you take me to a whorehouse?!"
"Chill out," Akun laughs. "It's just a Shisha bar! Haven't you seen one in Roppongi?" He turns to the Turk. "Bay için bir portakal suyu ve benim için bir kahve lütfen.”
"I don't usually go out," Yone says primly.
God only knows why he'd agreed to follow Akun all the way to Turkey.
06.
Night Traveller
[Question?], G
"Jesus you scared me," Yone complains when he turns around and Yodi is just there. “How'd you do that?! Did you teleport?”
Yodi just smiles serenely, stows his numerous bags in a corner and settles down next to Fujiie who is playing games on his Nintendo DS. He sems to look even paler than usual; his eyes are bloodshot and his skin seems almost transluscent and --
"What on earth are you wearing?" Yone asks, eyes wide. "Is that-- "
"A cape," Akun finishes.
"Cause Yodi is a vampire,” Gakki adds, amused.
Somewhere far off, Yone thinks he can hear Matchy cackle.
07.
Seating Arrangements
[Question?, Yone/Ryo], G
“This sucks,” Ryo complains. 'Hey, Shige, let's switch - Shige?”
Shige, however, is fast asleep next to Akun who'd nodded off the minute their Shinkansen had left Tokyo Station. Ryo isn't entirely sure how he'd ended up next to Yonemura of all people, but the train ride promises to be frustrating.
Ryo casts an annoyed look at Question?'s vocalist who seems to be staring at the back of the seat in front of him.
“Why are we even in the same carriage?” Ryo asks, irritated.
Yonemura just shrugs.
For the rest of the trip Ryo fantasizes about kicking him the balls.
08.
Group excursion
[Question?], G
“Isn't Yakushima amazing?” Akun gasps. He gingerly places a hand on the large, impressive trunk of the cedar tree. It's over a thousand years old and therefore, so their guide had told him, called yakusugi. “This trip was a great idea!'
“I'm hungry,” Fujiie complains.
“My feet hurt,” Yodi adds.
Yone yawns.
“The root of the cedar trees is covered in thick moss which is an indispensable part of the island ecosystem,” Akun recites, ignoring them. “It also prevents the tree roots from drying up and protects against soil erosion.”
“You've been hanging out with Shige too much,” Gakki says.
09.
Initiation
[Question?, Yodi/Matchy], PG
“What are you doing here?” Yodi asks, incredulously. Then, almost as an afterthought, “Senpai.”
“Oh, don't be so coy, Yodo-chan!” Matchy laughs jovially and claps a hand down on Yodi's shoulder. “Come with me, lets go on a little adventure. Romania maybe? I am here to help you finally cross over to the other side - the dark side! A sort of initiation, if you will.”
“I've been a vampire for quite a while,” Yodi says. “And what do you mean initiation?”
Matchy all but leers at him. Then he cackles.
Yodi, usually calm and composed, bolts from the room.
10.
Outside the comfort zone
[Question?, Yone/Akun, Jin], G
“Why did Johnny send us here again?!” Yone asks, eyes darting around in confusion.
Akun shrugs. “Something about being proper 'idols' or whatever. Don't ask me, I still don't get how this works.”
Yone feels the heavy thump of the bass in his gut, feels sweaty bodies pushing against him and when he closes his eyes, a plethora of sounds washes over him, the blend of music and laughter making him dizzy.
When he opens his eyes Akanishi Jin is right there.
“Yonemura!” he slurs and spills tequila down Yone's shirt.
Akun laughs nervously.
“I wanna go home,” Yone whimpers.
