Arashi - The 10 Songs Meme
The 10 Songs 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.
Fandom: Arashi
Pairing: various
Notes: THIS WAS PRETTY HARD. But not as hard as I imagined it would be. Only one drabble was left unfinished, in the middle of a bloody sentence too. >XD I won't list the pairings, it's mostly ohmiya anyway. Oh, and #8 is written in the TYR 'verse and might be mildly spoilerish. #2 & #3 are the ones where I didn't know what was being said in the lyrics, so they are based on the feel of the song more than anything else.
I didn't really do much editing after I finished, so please excuse my horrible mauling of the English language.
1. AC/DC - Night of the Long Knives [MF]
Jun pushes him against the wall and presses his lips on his. Nino can't help but cling to him and answer his kiss and shut his eyes tight. Jun's breath is in his ear, his hand slipping under the waistband of his jeans. Jun rocks against him and Nino moans, soft, long, needy, and grabs Jun, his fingers tangling in his hair.
Nino doesn't think about Ohno then, he only feels the hard, cold wall behind him and the sharp angles of Jun's body against him. He squeezes his eyes closed even tighter.
2. 少年隊 - どうなってもいい
The night is warm, the suffocating heat of the day still clinging on the sidewalk. Aiba smiles and extends his hand to Sho, who is trailing slightly behind him. "Come on," Aiba says, his voice soft. "No one's around."
Sho takes the hand and follows Aiba into the shadows, where Aiba turns to him and kisses him quickly on the mouth, hands circling his waist, slipping under the hem of his shirt. Aiba's hands are surprisingly cool against his skin that is still slightly moist with sweat.
"Aiba..." Sho says, tries to warn him, but Aiba just smiles to him so sweetly that he forgets what he was going to say. He stares instead. Aiba pulls him closer and doesn't stop smiling.
3. Golf & Mike - So Funny
Nino laughs at him. Ohno smiles back tentatively, unsure of how he is supposed to answer the laughter. He knows Nino isn't being mean, only amused, but he still feels self-conscious.
"You figured it out just now?" Nino giggles and drags himself closer to Ohno. "How long have you been thinking about it?"
"A while," Ohno says, painfully embarrassed but unable to lie to Nino.
"Why didn't you just ask?" Nino whispers and wraps his arms around Ohno's shoulders. "Of course I love you."
4. 嵐 - とまどいながら
I dream of you so often that it's starting to be difficult to recognise dreams from memories. It is getting to the point where all the feelings I have for you are about to burst out of my heart and I am not sure how I will hold up after that.
Sometimes when I touch you I feel like crying.
I can't understand why you are always next to me. I'm nothing important. Nothing special. Still, your eyes are on me and your warmth is always there.
In my dream, you grabbed my hand and whispered in my ear: "Let's run away."
5. Louis Jordan - Jack, You're Dead!
"How can you live like this?" Aiba asked from me and laughed. "What about Romance?" he asked, and I could hear the capital letter there. "What about Love? What about Sex?"
"I don't have time," I said, a bit more gruffly than I intended. "It's not like I don't want any of that."
"Sho, you're dead! Live a little!" Aiba said and grabbed my wrist. "I can help you with that."
6. Plaid - Open Kastle
Nino feels nervous around Yuu and he can't quite tell why. His heart seems to always pick up a new rhythm when she's around, thumping too loudly in his ears, making it difficult to concentrate. He can hear his heart beating even while they are recording, and the booth feels too warm and restricting when she's there with him.
Somehow, Nino realizes that he desperately wants to get closer to her. And he squints his eyes when he looks at her, like when you look at the sky, against the sunlight.
Tentatively, he reaches out and touches his fingertips against her forearm.
Her skin is soft and she looks up at him
7. 嵐 - 愛してると言えない
Sho still feels awkward about it. It was years ago and it seems that Nino has already forgotten it all, but Sho can't let go.
One summer, just after their debut and it was such a stupid thing to say then. Maybe it's a stupid thing to always say. It's not like he had never heard those words before: "Sorry, Sho. I like someone else." But they still burn when he remembers and he can't help but blush at the memory.
Sho can't say it anymore. He has tried, few times, but the words won't come. It's not like he has forgotten or even changed his mind. It's easier to pretend it didn't happen. It's easier to pretend that he has forgotten, that the stupid feeling passed after a while.
8. Seabound - Hooked [MF]
(TYR)
It seems like it's always raining in here, Nino thinks as he looks out of the window into the grey sky. He doesn't really mind, though. Ohno is right there with him, first time in his apartment, and his parents are away.
"Uh, I'm cold," Ohno says and rubs his arms.
"Sorry, I'll bring you something dry to wear soon," Nino says and steps closer, wrapping his arms around Ohno's shoulders. "Is it okay if I hug you first?" he asks, even if he's already as close to Ohno as he can get.
Ohno shivers in his arms and doesn't answer. Nino wants to kiss him again and not stop until his parents get home, but he senses Ohno's confusion and he doesn't want to do anything that Ohno would dislike. It's like after their first few kisses, Ohno has backed away from him, always slightly hesitant when they are alone together.
Nino just can't help but want more.
9. The Crüxshadows - Memorare [MF]
Ohno has stopped counting years as years after Arashi and years before the end. Now they are just years, a fluid continuation of one another. He rarely sees the others anymore. But they gnaw on him, the things unsettled in the past. He feels like a ghost with unfinished business.
There are times when he dials Nino's old number just for the few seconds when he can hope that someone could actually answer at the other end, before the calm voice of the recording informs him that the number is no longer in use.
It all feels so empty and the memories are fading and he almost cries every time he closes the lid of his phone.
He can't erase the memory of his phone any more than he can erase his own memories.
10. Rihanna - Umbrella
Our shadows are overlapping and I can't walk straight. You laugh at me, in that hesitant way that I really quite love, even if I tease you about being too meek. I lower my umbrella over our heads and grab your hand and kiss you while hiding our faces from the strangers around us.
"I think we should always be together," you grin and I have to smile back.
"Well, you can't go anywhere without an umbrella," I laugh. "So I guess you have to stick with me."
