041. Drunk

Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Tifa and Cloud.

Years later, when things were no-where near ‘good’ but coming along to ‘okay’ he would visit the church and put a hand to the hilt of the sword they had both carried, the blade was dull now and their fight over but it felt nice to feel it in his hand, felt good to hold on to some of the memories.

Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.
035. Yesterday
She doesn’t quite remember, but she thinks she doesn’t want to because she can vaguely remember a hurt greater than anything she had ever felt before, she can remember that almost as well as the look in his eyes.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa.
042. Scared
He yells about the unfairness, about how he came to garden to learn to fight not to manage, to sit behind a desk and push papers but it’s not about that, really, he would rather only have his own safety to contend with, not an entire garden.
Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.
043. Fearless
The way he acts, people would be forgiven for thinking he was brave or even stupid, but in reality, he simply has nothing left to lose and everything to gain if he can pull off the impossible a second time.
Final Fantasy VIII - Laguna.

Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa.
051. Underneath
“Guns and women” he tells them with a grin and for the most part they roll their eyes and move on, but there’s more to him than that, underneath all the bravado, he knows more than he could ever know how to explain.
Final Fantasy VIII - Irvine.
056. Hate
It wasn’t just him, it was everything, everyone, none of them were as good as he was, as talented, as special so why, then, did he always come up second place?
Final Fantasy VIII - Seifer.
062. Desire
It can take over a person so deeply they lose all control over themselves. She knew this, had seen it, should have known it would come for her in the end but when it came to it, once he was gone, she had little else left to force her to fight.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa.
064. Honey
Life cannot be all sunshine and rainbows all of the time and she knows that bitter fact better than anyone. Still, she remembers a time when it was close to it and all she wants is to get that back again.
Final Fantasy VIII - Ellone.
067. Time
She could go back but she would never be herself, it was too late for such things, and would he still love who she had become? She didn’t want to ask and so she re-created him as best she could and kept him by her side in the world she had created, just waiting for the time when he, herself and their friends would come for her and end it all.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa and Griever.
072. Wet
The roar of water or maybe of some beast takes over all else and as the body of the creature wraps around him, he can only smile, he has never felt safer or more at home as the magically formed rapids pour their water all around.
Final Fantasy VIII - Irvine and Leviathan.
078. Focus
He thinks he can hear a voice somewhere way off in the distance, but it’s so hard to concentrate anymore and it would be so easy to give in he can’t be sure if maybe he did not just image the whole thing.
Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.--------------
032. Twist
The power contained within the monster/ally was seemed unbelievable, too much for them to even consider trying to get in the way of, and so they don’t, and it continues.
Final Fantasy IX - Party.--------------
018. Flame
They look like balls of fire, multi-coloured and floating up to the sky, that’s the first thing Tidus thinks as Yuna dances and he will never be able to disconnect the two ever again.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
037. Tomorrow
She was living just to die, he hated that and as little as it seemed to matter to her, it only made him feel worse knowing he could do so little in this alien world to save her, to save them all.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
038. Laugh
It’s fake and it’s forced and it’s very obvious to both of them, but it in the end it does exactly what it was supposed to do in the first place and soon, it’s real and they just can’t stop.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus and Yuna.
047. Confused
He supposes it should bother him more with the way his journey in the foreign land kicks up only questions and no answers, but with her by his side, he finds it hard to worry about much of anything.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus and Yuna.
058. Nothing
He knows his fate but he is unafraid, for the first time truly understanding how she must have felt, his past was imagined and his future as nonexistent as he himself ever was - what is there to fear from nothing?
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
061. Gaze
Simply knowing it has the power to turn living tissue to cold, hard stone only for you to fall and shatter to pieces on the ground is enough to make him trip over his own accomplished skill, for he cannot think of a worse way to die, save maybe never from having existed to start with.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus and Evrae Altana.
071. Dry
It’s hard enough to keep his baring without all the monsters coming at them one after another and he wonders how so much life exists even here, on what to a teen brought up on an island surrounded by water must be the worst place on earth.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
076. Lazy
They are all too serious, he decides, and makes it his sole purpose to cheer the rest of the group up and help them relax on their journey to save the world, that is, of course, before he knows the horrible truth...
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
080. Rough
The Mi’ihen Highroad felt like the last walk of a dead man to the blonde, even more so after the news he had just been given, but when he looked over to her and saw she could still smile... Well, he supposed he owed it to them all to keep trying.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.--------------
010. Lost
Despite his actions, his first thought when it happens isn’t for revenge, only for what it means will come next, of who he has in his life to care about him now she is gone.
Final Fantasy XIII - Hope.
025. Mistake
They knew no different, had been born and breed to rely on and listen to those with a hidden agenda, to believe what they were told without question - They were wrong.
Final Fantasy XIII - People of Cocoon.
028. Tattoo
Branded as a tool of the Pulse l’Cie, the enemy of Cocoon made them all the same, only they wanted nothing more than to save their world, to get home and be reunited with the people they loved.
Final Fantasy XIII - L’Cie.
068. Blame
Lightning’s reaction to him returning her dagger was surprising, but he thought he could understand; He had blamed Snow to get himself to carry on and she did not blame him for that weakness in the slightest.
Final Fantasy XIII - Hope and Lightning.--------------
011. Found
There was no choice, not really, the only way he could lose was to win and to win would mean a loss too heavy for him to bear. No, he had to find this man guilty, whatever it took.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.
027. Temptation
He had a perfect win record. Perfect. So many of the faces who had glared at him from across the courtroom had wanted nothing more than that. But he wasn’t them, he just wanted her back, safe and sound.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.
049. Restless
He’d like to pretend he was always as cool, calm and collected as he appears to be, but really, when the truth is all you’re seeking, calm is never a thing you can hope to be.
Ace Attorney - Klavier.
060. Illusion
They all know it was a simple mistake and they cannot understand why he gave up so easily. What they don’t know is giving up was never on the cards or hidden in some magic panties, either.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.
083. Tremble
He was not like Mia had been, or Pearls, or even Maya herself was, but he felt something, non-the-less, could feel his lost companion calling out to him to do what he must, no matter how difficult.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.--------------
005. Stray
It would not dawn on him for years and years that the reason he was so drawn to caring for the animals he found on the streets was because he was one of them too; nobody wanted him, either.
Persona 4 - Souji.
009. Accusation
He’s new in town when the murders start so he can understand the looks he gets but knowing what he knows, that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.
Persona 4 - Souji.
015. Confess
He hears their voices all around him, half wanting revenge and half seeking answers. He knows he needs to guide them now, to make the choice, but it seems impossible; He wants both.
Persona 4 - Souji.
026. Too Late
Catching him had been the result of months of hard work and lots training and even though they knew they had done a good thing, it did not take away from the fact that she was gone.
Persona 4 - Catching Nametame.
031. Shadow
‘I am a shadow, the true self.’ and that was what scared him most, because for a guy without a shadow, who was to say who he really was underneath it all.
Person 4 - Souji.
034. Neon
They have seen so many crazy things inside this world, still they doubted it could get worse than the bath-house, at least until they’re surrounded by the blaring club music and flashing lights of a strip club. Yosuke somehow still likes this place a lot better.
Persona 4 - Yosuke.
044. Kiss
He isn’t surprise when it finally happens, he has been reading the signs in the other’s actions and manner for a while now, what surprises him is that it isn’t he who makes the first move and he thinks that only makes it better.
Persona 4 - Yosuke/Souji.
048. Sweet & Sour
He hates the taste but it’s rare to find anything else that can do the job that doesn’t cost a fortune so he grins and bares it and hates that stupid fox for having such high hopes just so he can cast a few garu spells.
Persona 4 - Yosuke.
054. Different
He opened his eyes on a train and knew right away he was on his way to the town he had just left, that it was all happening again. He held his head in his hands and prayed that this time, he would get things right.
Persona 4 - Souji.
059. Mask
Everyone has something to hide, he has always known that but is only now getting to see it first-hand, and he cannot help but wonder what is lurking beneath his own smile...
Persona 4 - Souji.
073. Pain
It hurts, but that’s okay, it’s good to feel and to know he is still, in fact alive and that is good too - there is still so much more he has to do and he knows this because he missed it before...
Persona 4 - Souji.
077. Arouse
At first he has no idea what his newly appointed best friend could possibly be talking about, but the look on his face gives it away and all he can do is stare - don’t all teenage boys keep their porn under the futon?
Persona 4 - Souji.
085. Metal
Not the most effective of weapons, not by any means, but Souji held the metal bat tightly in his hands, non-the-less, there was power in holding such a primitive weapon, he thought, one that made him feel stronger, even if the weapon itself wasn’t so great.
Persona 4 - Souji and his Metal Bat.--------------
003. Cold
It wasn’t the sneezing that bothered him. Nor was it the running nose, chesty cough or teary eyes. It was the memory of having seen so much worse on a person he loved that did that.
Resident Evil - Carlos/Leon.
017. Heartbeat
He’s dead and he knows it. There is nothing there anymore, nothing left that is human and yet he still finds it hard to destroy him, he mostly looks the same and he’s all he has left... Then he sees her and the guns seem to fire themselves.
Resident Evil; Code Veronica - Steve.
020. Dance
They meet, they fight, they part, it has become almost a regular thing for them, a musical, well-choreographed way of life. They begin to wonder if it will ever end.
Resident Evil series - Wesker, Chris and Jill.
022. Nightmare
The things they did to create such monsters were so much worse than the creatures themselves could ever be and yet, they were only people, just like they themselves are and she didn’t know which was more terrifying.
Resident Evil 2 - Claire.
052. Stretch
The thing was ugly and creepy and it crawled across the ceiling right above him, dripping blood from its’ last meal but that wasn’t the worst, that came when it opened it’s mouth. Licker was as good a name as any, Leon decided.
Resident Evil - Leon.
081. Bruise
She fell and it hurt but she knew that was not the part she would remember, instead she watched in horror as the tentacle turned on the thing that once was Steve, taking his life as well as his monstrous features. It was him she would always remember.
Resident Evil - Claire.
084. Hard
Living with his loss was difficult enough, but moving on with another whom he could not stop comparing to a man, immortalized in death, was probably a lot more so.
Resident Evil - Leon, Luis and Carlos.
086. Smirk
And in the end, they both made it out alive, all their parties intact but still neithers’ opinions had changed and nothing was proven - they both still believed they were right.
Resident Evil Outbreak - Kevin and David.
087. Expect
After a while he got used to the random items bought to him by the other man. He meant well and he knew that but the things he bought him were never what he was looking for, what he needed. So when they split up - he did not think he would miss the expectant grin on his face quite as much as he did.
Resident Evil Outbreak - Kevin and David.
090. Intent
He vowed to protect her and that he would do, despite her complaints. She had been through this before, been through worse, she did not need anyone to protect her from anything. But, she thought with a secret smile, it was nice that he so wanted to try.
Resident Evil Code Veronica - Claire and Steve.
093. Silent
He spoke rarely and his words were mostly quiet when he did but that was okay, it only meant that when the words came they were important. When the words came, he treasured them, three little ones more than all the rest.
Resident Evil - Carlos/Leon.
099. Always
He saw her die but he never really believed it and when he saw her picture years later, on a different continent in the middle of a war zone all he could really feel was relief - he had always knew she would not die so easily.
Resident Evil - Chris and Jill.--------------
088. Game
It isn’t just a game to him, still waters run deep and there is more to Sherlock than he likes to let others see. At least, that’s what John tells himself, it helps him sleep a little better at night.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
089. Triumph
He hates not being able to understand, to follow the lines of logic and reason back to a starting point where the answers are there for him to absorb so when he first hears the shot, he is furious to have been denied. Then he sees how close he came to losing it all and is as surprised as anyone to find that matters more.
Sherlock - Sherlock.
091. Faint
He’s in bed when he can next place himself anywhere with John at his side, checking his pulse and worriedly forcing a giant chocolate chip cookie into his hand and even as blurry as he is he understands and thanks him.
Sherlock - Sherlock and John.
092. Seduce
No more heads in the fridge, a lack of eyes in the microwave and when he comes home, his laptop is where he had left it, the flat tidy around it. John’s first thought is that Sherlock was sick, he would be forgiven for not catching on sooner to the fact that it all meant something else entirely.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
094. Noise
It wasn’t the gunshots that made him curse, or the sounds of the radio turned up loud from the flat downstairs to block out the sounds, it was the knowing the looks he would get when he explained while replacing the ammunition that really got on his nerves.
Sherlock - John, bored!Sherlock and a gun.
095. Choice
The music plays and the credits role but as they share a look it is clear the end has not yet come. Maybe it never will.
Sherlock - End of ‘The Great Game’.
096. Silk
Smooth and exotic, expensive and fragile, simple and beautiful. He doesn’t know what it is, exactly, he is talking about anymore; the purple shirt or the gifted idiot wearing it.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
097. Never
‘You can’t know everything’, he says, and although the other man appears to agree, he will never understand, only try harder to prove him wrong. For a man with such intellect, John still smiles when he thinks how stupid his flat-mate really is.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
098. Perfume
The smell hits him as soon as he sets foot in the morgue and instantly he misses the toxicity of Formaldehyde that has been buried in it. But he understands her intentions all too well and endures the abuse to his senses with a smile for his own personal gain.
Sherlock - Sherlock and Molly.
100. Key
“Because you’re an idiot.” And with his biggest secret revealed after so little time spent with the man who discovered it, Sherlock did the only thing he could; he laughed.
Sherlock - Sherlock and John.

Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Cloud and Tifa.
045. Inbetween
Reality and fiction have merged so completely in his mind that he can’t be sure who he even is anymore, but he thinks that’s not as big a deal as it should be; he doesn’t remember liking who that was much to begin with.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Cloud.
050. Still
When he sees her lying there amongst the flowers of the church he understands two things all at once; she is there because of him and once again, he has arrived too late.

‘Twenty-three little wishes’ she had told him, but they all came down to one in the end; A single wish from a pretty girl he couldn’t keep.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Zack and Aerith.
055. Love
It isn’t conventional but neither are under any illusion that it is anything but what it is; Love goes by a million different names and takes a million different forms, after all, theirs is just one of them.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Cloud and Tifa.
057. Glass
He finds him on the ground and with a voice on his phone calling out so when he loads him on his bike, he pretends he’s doing it for her own peace of mind, but in truth, he thinks it’s because he wants to be able to save at least someone from shattering.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Cloud and Denzel.
063. Fireworks
She tells him how beautiful they are and he agrees but she still can’t shake how distant he feels to her, even sitting just across the way where she could reach out and touch him if she wanted, he is no-where near her at all.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Tifa and Cloud.
069. Together
She knows it might take time, but she thinks she’s okay with that, after all all, they both have time and they are both meant to be so all she has to do it wait for him to come around...
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Tifa and Cloud.
070. Harsh
...But slowly she begins to realize that isn’t all there is to it, simply being ‘meant to be’ doesn’t grant them a free pass to happiness and that truth hurts more than anything she has ever been through before.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Tifa and Cloud.
074. Complicated
People saw them as a couple who lived together, worked together and raised two kids together and when they tried to explain everything they weren’t, it only made them smile and nod and wonder how long it would take them to see everything they were, instead.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Cloud and Tifa.
075. Relief
He sees his mentor standing there and wants to fall to his knees, so grateful to have the burden of having killed him taken. But then he opens his mouth and he understands nothing has changed.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - Zack and Angeal/Lezard.
079. Smooth
Years later, when things were no-where near ‘good’ but coming along to ‘okay’ he would visit the church and put a hand to the hilt of the sword they had both carried, the blade was dull now and their fight over but it felt nice to feel it in his hand, felt good to hold on to some of the memories.
Final Fantasy VII Compilation - The Buster Sword.--------------
007. Control
He didn’t ask for it and he didn’t want it. None of it. And he wonders more and more frequently just how he got here and how he can ever get away again.
Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.
008. Bewitched
She’s got him exactly where she wants him and whether he knows it or not, the rest of them don’t think matters; It’s dangerous, that’s all they know for sure.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa/Squall.
019. Isolation
He doesn’t know where he is, only that it’s a place he shouldn’t be, this isn’t where they agreed to meet but he’s forgotten how to get there and more than anything else, he doesn’t think he can face being all alone anymore.
Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.
035. Yesterday
She doesn’t quite remember, but she thinks she doesn’t want to because she can vaguely remember a hurt greater than anything she had ever felt before, she can remember that almost as well as the look in his eyes.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa.
042. Scared
He yells about the unfairness, about how he came to garden to learn to fight not to manage, to sit behind a desk and push papers but it’s not about that, really, he would rather only have his own safety to contend with, not an entire garden.
Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.
043. Fearless
The way he acts, people would be forgiven for thinking he was brave or even stupid, but in reality, he simply has nothing left to lose and everything to gain if he can pull off the impossible a second time.
Final Fantasy VIII - Laguna.
046. Try
It’s risky and it’s stupid but she can’t help herself. War is the only alternative and she thinks even now she has fallen for him and cannot stand the idea that he might be taken away from her and lost forever.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa.
051. Underneath
“Guns and women” he tells them with a grin and for the most part they roll their eyes and move on, but there’s more to him than that, underneath all the bravado, he knows more than he could ever know how to explain.
Final Fantasy VIII - Irvine.
056. Hate
It wasn’t just him, it was everything, everyone, none of them were as good as he was, as talented, as special so why, then, did he always come up second place?
Final Fantasy VIII - Seifer.
062. Desire
It can take over a person so deeply they lose all control over themselves. She knew this, had seen it, should have known it would come for her in the end but when it came to it, once he was gone, she had little else left to force her to fight.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa.
064. Honey
Life cannot be all sunshine and rainbows all of the time and she knows that bitter fact better than anyone. Still, she remembers a time when it was close to it and all she wants is to get that back again.
Final Fantasy VIII - Ellone.
067. Time
She could go back but she would never be herself, it was too late for such things, and would he still love who she had become? She didn’t want to ask and so she re-created him as best she could and kept him by her side in the world she had created, just waiting for the time when he, herself and their friends would come for her and end it all.
Final Fantasy VIII - Rinoa and Griever.
072. Wet
The roar of water or maybe of some beast takes over all else and as the body of the creature wraps around him, he can only smile, he has never felt safer or more at home as the magically formed rapids pour their water all around.
Final Fantasy VIII - Irvine and Leviathan.
078. Focus
He thinks he can hear a voice somewhere way off in the distance, but it’s so hard to concentrate anymore and it would be so easy to give in he can’t be sure if maybe he did not just image the whole thing.
Final Fantasy VIII - Squall.--------------
032. Twist
The power contained within the monster/ally was seemed unbelievable, too much for them to even consider trying to get in the way of, and so they don’t, and it continues.
Final Fantasy IX - Party.--------------
018. Flame
They look like balls of fire, multi-coloured and floating up to the sky, that’s the first thing Tidus thinks as Yuna dances and he will never be able to disconnect the two ever again.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
037. Tomorrow
She was living just to die, he hated that and as little as it seemed to matter to her, it only made him feel worse knowing he could do so little in this alien world to save her, to save them all.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
038. Laugh
It’s fake and it’s forced and it’s very obvious to both of them, but it in the end it does exactly what it was supposed to do in the first place and soon, it’s real and they just can’t stop.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus and Yuna.
047. Confused
He supposes it should bother him more with the way his journey in the foreign land kicks up only questions and no answers, but with her by his side, he finds it hard to worry about much of anything.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus and Yuna.
058. Nothing
He knows his fate but he is unafraid, for the first time truly understanding how she must have felt, his past was imagined and his future as nonexistent as he himself ever was - what is there to fear from nothing?
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
061. Gaze
Simply knowing it has the power to turn living tissue to cold, hard stone only for you to fall and shatter to pieces on the ground is enough to make him trip over his own accomplished skill, for he cannot think of a worse way to die, save maybe never from having existed to start with.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus and Evrae Altana.
071. Dry
It’s hard enough to keep his baring without all the monsters coming at them one after another and he wonders how so much life exists even here, on what to a teen brought up on an island surrounded by water must be the worst place on earth.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
076. Lazy
They are all too serious, he decides, and makes it his sole purpose to cheer the rest of the group up and help them relax on their journey to save the world, that is, of course, before he knows the horrible truth...
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.
080. Rough
The Mi’ihen Highroad felt like the last walk of a dead man to the blonde, even more so after the news he had just been given, but when he looked over to her and saw she could still smile... Well, he supposed he owed it to them all to keep trying.
Final Fantasy X - Tidus.--------------
010. Lost
Despite his actions, his first thought when it happens isn’t for revenge, only for what it means will come next, of who he has in his life to care about him now she is gone.
Final Fantasy XIII - Hope.
025. Mistake
They knew no different, had been born and breed to rely on and listen to those with a hidden agenda, to believe what they were told without question - They were wrong.
Final Fantasy XIII - People of Cocoon.
028. Tattoo
Branded as a tool of the Pulse l’Cie, the enemy of Cocoon made them all the same, only they wanted nothing more than to save their world, to get home and be reunited with the people they loved.
Final Fantasy XIII - L’Cie.
068. Blame
Lightning’s reaction to him returning her dagger was surprising, but he thought he could understand; He had blamed Snow to get himself to carry on and she did not blame him for that weakness in the slightest.
Final Fantasy XIII - Hope and Lightning.--------------
011. Found
There was no choice, not really, the only way he could lose was to win and to win would mean a loss too heavy for him to bear. No, he had to find this man guilty, whatever it took.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.
027. Temptation
He had a perfect win record. Perfect. So many of the faces who had glared at him from across the courtroom had wanted nothing more than that. But he wasn’t them, he just wanted her back, safe and sound.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.
049. Restless
He’d like to pretend he was always as cool, calm and collected as he appears to be, but really, when the truth is all you’re seeking, calm is never a thing you can hope to be.
Ace Attorney - Klavier.
060. Illusion
They all know it was a simple mistake and they cannot understand why he gave up so easily. What they don’t know is giving up was never on the cards or hidden in some magic panties, either.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.
083. Tremble
He was not like Mia had been, or Pearls, or even Maya herself was, but he felt something, non-the-less, could feel his lost companion calling out to him to do what he must, no matter how difficult.
Ace Attorney - Phoenix Wright.--------------
005. Stray
It would not dawn on him for years and years that the reason he was so drawn to caring for the animals he found on the streets was because he was one of them too; nobody wanted him, either.
Persona 4 - Souji.
009. Accusation
He’s new in town when the murders start so he can understand the looks he gets but knowing what he knows, that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.
Persona 4 - Souji.
015. Confess
He hears their voices all around him, half wanting revenge and half seeking answers. He knows he needs to guide them now, to make the choice, but it seems impossible; He wants both.
Persona 4 - Souji.
026. Too Late
Catching him had been the result of months of hard work and lots training and even though they knew they had done a good thing, it did not take away from the fact that she was gone.
Persona 4 - Catching Nametame.
031. Shadow
‘I am a shadow, the true self.’ and that was what scared him most, because for a guy without a shadow, who was to say who he really was underneath it all.
Person 4 - Souji.
034. Neon
They have seen so many crazy things inside this world, still they doubted it could get worse than the bath-house, at least until they’re surrounded by the blaring club music and flashing lights of a strip club. Yosuke somehow still likes this place a lot better.
Persona 4 - Yosuke.
044. Kiss
He isn’t surprise when it finally happens, he has been reading the signs in the other’s actions and manner for a while now, what surprises him is that it isn’t he who makes the first move and he thinks that only makes it better.
Persona 4 - Yosuke/Souji.
048. Sweet & Sour
He hates the taste but it’s rare to find anything else that can do the job that doesn’t cost a fortune so he grins and bares it and hates that stupid fox for having such high hopes just so he can cast a few garu spells.
Persona 4 - Yosuke.
054. Different
He opened his eyes on a train and knew right away he was on his way to the town he had just left, that it was all happening again. He held his head in his hands and prayed that this time, he would get things right.
Persona 4 - Souji.
059. Mask
Everyone has something to hide, he has always known that but is only now getting to see it first-hand, and he cannot help but wonder what is lurking beneath his own smile...
Persona 4 - Souji.
073. Pain
It hurts, but that’s okay, it’s good to feel and to know he is still, in fact alive and that is good too - there is still so much more he has to do and he knows this because he missed it before...
Persona 4 - Souji.
077. Arouse
At first he has no idea what his newly appointed best friend could possibly be talking about, but the look on his face gives it away and all he can do is stare - don’t all teenage boys keep their porn under the futon?
Persona 4 - Souji.
085. Metal
Not the most effective of weapons, not by any means, but Souji held the metal bat tightly in his hands, non-the-less, there was power in holding such a primitive weapon, he thought, one that made him feel stronger, even if the weapon itself wasn’t so great.
Persona 4 - Souji and his Metal Bat.--------------
003. Cold
It wasn’t the sneezing that bothered him. Nor was it the running nose, chesty cough or teary eyes. It was the memory of having seen so much worse on a person he loved that did that.
Resident Evil - Carlos/Leon.
017. Heartbeat
He’s dead and he knows it. There is nothing there anymore, nothing left that is human and yet he still finds it hard to destroy him, he mostly looks the same and he’s all he has left... Then he sees her and the guns seem to fire themselves.
Resident Evil; Code Veronica - Steve.
020. Dance
They meet, they fight, they part, it has become almost a regular thing for them, a musical, well-choreographed way of life. They begin to wonder if it will ever end.
Resident Evil series - Wesker, Chris and Jill.
022. Nightmare
The things they did to create such monsters were so much worse than the creatures themselves could ever be and yet, they were only people, just like they themselves are and she didn’t know which was more terrifying.
Resident Evil 2 - Claire.
052. Stretch
The thing was ugly and creepy and it crawled across the ceiling right above him, dripping blood from its’ last meal but that wasn’t the worst, that came when it opened it’s mouth. Licker was as good a name as any, Leon decided.
Resident Evil - Leon.
081. Bruise
She fell and it hurt but she knew that was not the part she would remember, instead she watched in horror as the tentacle turned on the thing that once was Steve, taking his life as well as his monstrous features. It was him she would always remember.
Resident Evil - Claire.
084. Hard
Living with his loss was difficult enough, but moving on with another whom he could not stop comparing to a man, immortalized in death, was probably a lot more so.
Resident Evil - Leon, Luis and Carlos.
086. Smirk
And in the end, they both made it out alive, all their parties intact but still neithers’ opinions had changed and nothing was proven - they both still believed they were right.
Resident Evil Outbreak - Kevin and David.
087. Expect
After a while he got used to the random items bought to him by the other man. He meant well and he knew that but the things he bought him were never what he was looking for, what he needed. So when they split up - he did not think he would miss the expectant grin on his face quite as much as he did.
Resident Evil Outbreak - Kevin and David.
090. Intent
He vowed to protect her and that he would do, despite her complaints. She had been through this before, been through worse, she did not need anyone to protect her from anything. But, she thought with a secret smile, it was nice that he so wanted to try.
Resident Evil Code Veronica - Claire and Steve.
093. Silent
He spoke rarely and his words were mostly quiet when he did but that was okay, it only meant that when the words came they were important. When the words came, he treasured them, three little ones more than all the rest.
Resident Evil - Carlos/Leon.
099. Always
He saw her die but he never really believed it and when he saw her picture years later, on a different continent in the middle of a war zone all he could really feel was relief - he had always knew she would not die so easily.
Resident Evil - Chris and Jill.--------------
088. Game
It isn’t just a game to him, still waters run deep and there is more to Sherlock than he likes to let others see. At least, that’s what John tells himself, it helps him sleep a little better at night.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
089. Triumph
He hates not being able to understand, to follow the lines of logic and reason back to a starting point where the answers are there for him to absorb so when he first hears the shot, he is furious to have been denied. Then he sees how close he came to losing it all and is as surprised as anyone to find that matters more.
Sherlock - Sherlock.
091. Faint
He’s in bed when he can next place himself anywhere with John at his side, checking his pulse and worriedly forcing a giant chocolate chip cookie into his hand and even as blurry as he is he understands and thanks him.
Sherlock - Sherlock and John.
092. Seduce
No more heads in the fridge, a lack of eyes in the microwave and when he comes home, his laptop is where he had left it, the flat tidy around it. John’s first thought is that Sherlock was sick, he would be forgiven for not catching on sooner to the fact that it all meant something else entirely.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
094. Noise
It wasn’t the gunshots that made him curse, or the sounds of the radio turned up loud from the flat downstairs to block out the sounds, it was the knowing the looks he would get when he explained while replacing the ammunition that really got on his nerves.
Sherlock - John, bored!Sherlock and a gun.
095. Choice
The music plays and the credits role but as they share a look it is clear the end has not yet come. Maybe it never will.
Sherlock - End of ‘The Great Game’.
096. Silk
Smooth and exotic, expensive and fragile, simple and beautiful. He doesn’t know what it is, exactly, he is talking about anymore; the purple shirt or the gifted idiot wearing it.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
097. Never
‘You can’t know everything’, he says, and although the other man appears to agree, he will never understand, only try harder to prove him wrong. For a man with such intellect, John still smiles when he thinks how stupid his flat-mate really is.
Sherlock - John and Sherlock.
098. Perfume
The smell hits him as soon as he sets foot in the morgue and instantly he misses the toxicity of Formaldehyde that has been buried in it. But he understands her intentions all too well and endures the abuse to his senses with a smile for his own personal gain.
Sherlock - Sherlock and Molly.
100. Key
“Because you’re an idiot.” And with his biggest secret revealed after so little time spent with the man who discovered it, Sherlock did the only thing he could; he laughed.
Sherlock - Sherlock and John.
