[Drabble/Ficlet] Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gouhou Drug, TRC, Hikaru no Go, X, Prince of Tennis
I come bearing six drabbles of various fandoms. Read at your own risk.
Title: Same
Author: doumeki
Rating: PG
Series: Tsubasa/X crossover
Characters/Pairings: TRC!Seishiro/X!Subaru
Word Count: 153
Author's Notes: Subaru!muse felt left out.
“I’m not him,” he says, and I shake my head because he is.
His appearance is younger, more reminiscent of when I first encountered him all those years ago, but his eyes are the same, and his voice, and I know that, deep down, so is his soul.
“You are,” I whisper as I lean in closer and wrap my arms around him.
I kiss him, and his lips are the same, yet different. My Seishiro-san would not have allowed his lips to become chapped and cracked, but I taste blood and sakura, and that is comforting in its familiarity.
I pull away and stare at him. I gaze into his brilliant hazel eye and I lose myself.
“I am not him,” he repeats, but he wraps his arms around me and pulls me to him. “And you are not the one I seek.”
And he kisses me, and this time it’s different.
Title: Submission
Author: doumeki
Rating: G
Series: Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLES
Characters/Pairings: Kurogane, Fai
Word Count: 159
Author's Notes: The first part got stuck in my head on the bus. Hence the oddness.
“Mountains move for no one,” Kurogane states, and to him, that is that. There is no other truth than the sentence he just uttered, but Fai stares at him and smiles, and he worries that maybe the magician can move mountains.
The thought is absurd, he knows, for his traveling companion has been more of a nuisance than help, despite the magic that Mokona says vibrates around him.
“But, Kuro-pi,” he starts, and Kurogane narrows his eyes. “The wind can make the mountain submit.”
He shakes his head and Fai smiles.
“The wind caresses the mountains and wears grooves into its rocky surface, until it submits and allows it to pass,” the mage asserts.
Kurogane takes a step toward him. “The mountain does not submit, despite the wind’s persistence,” he whispers and Fai shivers. “It stands firm in its resolve until it is no more.”
He turns and walks away, ignoring the whispers of wind beating on his skin.
Title: Dream Catcher
Author: doumeki
Rating: PG
Series: Gouhou Drug
haracters/Pairings: Kazahaya, Rikuo
Word Count: 187
Author's Notes: For chaineddove, who wanted Kazahaya. Not quite sure this is what she wanted, though.
When he had first been taken to the shop, he’d dreamt of Kei. Beautiful dreams of days that had long since passed, of skipping lessons in the main house to lounge on the grass, of languid conversations and childhood promises of forever which never failed to melt away into nightmarish visions of fire and her screams echoing along the walls.
He’d dealt with each in kind, thrashing about and making helpless noises because there wasn’t anything he could do, and it hurt because she was in pain and he couldn’t help her. He would wake with tears running down his cheeks and his heart pounding in his chest.
His eyes would immediately turn to the bed across the room, only to find his roommate resting peacefully amongst the sheets, snoring softly. Kazahaya would shake his head and fall into a dreamless sleep every time.
The dreams stopped after a month or so, and he slept peacefully. He began to dream of other things, such as getting his own place or showing up Rikuo, never knowing how his roommate would ghost fingers over his forehead as he slept.
Title: Disagreement
Author: doumeki
Rating: PG
Series: Hikaru no Go
Characters/Pairings: Yeong-ha/Yashiro
Word Count: 153
Author's Notes: This pairing gets little to no love. That is sad.
Ko Yeong-ha pushed him against the wall, and all thoughts of whatever argument they’d been having flew from his head.
“You have no idea what you’re saying, do you?” Yeong-ha spoke, and it took a moment for Yashiro’s mind to translate the Korean into something he would understand.
He pushed away from the wall, lining his body against the one that held him trapped in place. His chest grazed Yeong-ha’s, and he hissed.
“Don’t care,” Yashiro breathed, because at this point, he really didn’t. All he wanted was to feel those hands on him, to nibble on those full lips and wring breathy moans and whimpers from the Korean’s cocky mouth. “If you don’t like what I’m saying,” he continued in accented Korean, “shut me up.”
And as Yeong-ha glared, Yashiro smirked. He had a second to anticipate the next few hours before Yeong-ha’s lips were on his, and he surrendered to sensation.
Title: Subtlety
Author: doumeki
Rating: G
Series: Prince of Tennis
Characters/Pairings: Tezuka/Fuji
Word Count: 182
Author's Notes: Written for aoyagi because she wanted fluff.
“Ne, Buchou?”
Tezuka looked up to find Fuji staring at him intently, smile for once absent from his face. “Yes, Fuji?”
“Did Mina-chan confess to you today?” the tensai inquired, and Tezuka blinked.
“I fail to see how this has anything to do with tennis,” he replied finally.
Fuji smirked, but remained quiet.
Tezuka returned his attention to the first years as they went about their racket forms.
“Ne, Tezuka?”
He sighed and looked to the side. Fuji had joined him on the bench. “What is it, Fuji?”
“What did you tell Mina-chan?”
A faint throbbing started behind Tezuka’s eyes. “Don’t you have a match right now?” he returned.
Fuji shrugged. “Taka-san and I lost to Eiji and Oishi.”
Silence fell between them, and Tezuka continued watching as the first years finished their training menus and ran around to collect balls.
“Ne, Kunimitsu?”
Tezuka closed his eyes. “Yes, Syuusuke?”
“Do you like anyone?” the brunette asked sweetly.
He said nothing but briefly took Fuji’s hand. The other boy slid closer, and Tezuka saw Fuji smile softly from the corner of his eye.
Title: Delicious

Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters/Pairings: Spike, Xander
Word Count: 132
Author's Notes: Because I really miss writing these characters.
“You,” Xander began, “are a sick individual.”
Spike looked up from his breakfast. “A bloke has to eat.”
“You are not a ‘bloke,’” he insisted. “You are a ferocious vampire. You shouldn’t be eating my Wheaties. You should be drinking the blood of virgins and eviscerating kittens!”
The vampire rolled his eyes. “In that case, I should be eating you, then. Virgin an’ all.” He paused. “And you’re the bloody sick one here. Eviscerating kittens. Disgusting.”
The brunette’s eyes widened. “I. Am. NOT. Eating. WHEATIES. Drenched. In. BLOOD,” he screamed. He caught sight of the mug. “And is that hot chocolate? Why are you drinking my hot chocolate?! Did you put blood in that, too?”
“Want a sip, then?” the blonde asked.
“NO!”
Spike took a sip of hot chocolate and shrugged.
All fandoms belong to their respective creators. Because I am clearly not creative enough to have come up with them. XD
