EVEN SHORTER DRABBLE MEME

[neutraltwin]

I'm going to regret this.

Give me a character or two and a one word prompt, and I'll write you exactly one sentence OR A DRABBLE inspired by that word starring that character/those characters.

If you see this/have been linked to it by me, go for it. Anything, anything - yes, even that - is okay, but I can't promise quality for characters I've

DARN YOU INDEED

[neutraltwin]

Akihiko/Mitsuru
- Guardian

He guessed he saw himself as her guardian; someone to protect her from all the things her sheltered life had left out of her education. She protected him in the same way, so it's not like it was that strange.

...still made him uncomfortable, though.

- Denial

"...o-of course I don't like her that way! We're just friends!"

"Then why are ya blushing, Senpai?"

"...j-just shut up."

- Homework

It was frustrating, the look on his face as he stubbornly attempted to solve a problem; he'd be there for hours if she didn't slide her chair over, look over his shoulder, murmur a hint in his ear. He wouldn't accept anything more.

- Loss

Nobody else in the dorms knew about it, but after Ikutsuki had betrayed them all...he'd gone to her room, held her, waited until she'd fallen asleep, sniffling and sobbing in his arms. He knew what it was like to deal with a big loss.

- Future

It occurred to him one day just how much they did together; eating, studying, sitting around in the lounge, fighting in Tartarus. His future without her seemed...so empty. He wasn't sure how to react to the possibility.

The best choice seemed the simplest. Don't let her go.

- Children

"...w-well, yeah, I suppose I do. I've never really thought about it before."

"...me too."

"...was that all?"

"I suppose. I'll...if you could..."

"What?"

"...nothing, Akihiko. Never mind."

- React

His elbow had swung backwards before he realised what he was doing, still high-strung on the rush of battle from inside that tower. His brain caught up mid-swing; he braced himself for the sickening crunch, but all he felt was a hand whipping up to catch his attack.

He glanced backwards; Mitsuru was holding his elbow, staring evenly at him, the rest of them blinking in shock.

"Calm down, Akihiko." she said.

"...good reaction time." he said.

- Too Slow

A hiss of breath escaped him as her rapier pierced his side, the rage burning through her, clouding her vision; too slow, he cursed himself, too slow.

- Goodbye

He wouldn't believe it, couldn't believe it; he managed a confident smile for her, looking up at her staring down at him from the train window.

"This isn't goodbye." he said. "It's just...see you later."

Yukari/Souji [WTF]
- Friends

He was a good friend, actually, the kind you could just hang out with without worrying. She liked that about him.

The fact that he was cute certainly didn't hurt.

- Spanish

This place was turning her into quite the prankster; a week after the wheel had disappeared, she'd come up to him, leaned in, whispered something in his ear that made him freeze up and turn red.

Oh yeah. That Spanish book had been worth every yen.

- Impulse

It was easy, a simple three-step maneuver just like in Tartarus; grab his collar, turn him into the wall, press herself to him in a fierce kiss.

- Shopping

He was easier to extract opinions from than Minato, that was for sure, though she had the inkling that when she asked him what he thought of this outfit, he was giving the right answer as opposed to the honest one.

Everyone on Skype
- Karaoke

"...geez. Who knew Minato could sing so well?"

YOU'RE AMAZING YOU KNOW. ;w;
