Now, this is what you call gratuitous spamming. Also, three Yamapi/Jin drabbles.
1. I was musing on humour the other day. If you seen the way I review things, you probably know that a. I rarely say anything useful and b. it’s usually just fangirl flailing. It’s a bit strange perhaps, because when you get me the right fic, I can say something that’s not “adksjahdjkahksda”. I’ve concluded that it’s because most fic in JE and Jdrama tend to be humour, and humour works in a different way, sort of.
I’m not usually good at articulating why I like something, other than the fact that I do. Humour works the same. You can’t explain why a joke is funny, except that it is, and I think, that’s why I haven’t been able to string along a coherent sentence in a review. It’s funny, it’s great and hilarious, but I can’t say why except to tell you that I laughed a lot.
2. I think, it’s because I’m seriously knuckling down and writing so much more that I ponder about you know, things other than the best way for Yamapi to get naked and have sex. That’s important of course and you’d all lynch me if I said it wasn’t, but as I said, I enjoy behavioural studies so I can’t help but wonder.
So have three drabbles I wrote when I came across Interview Your Character’s Values Questionnaire in rahirah’s lj. This meme is interesting actually, so I tried to figure out some of the answers for Kurosaki, but realized that I didn’t really know enough about him to properly answer, so I tried some on Yamapi. You could say it’s all loosely connected, I suppose. Unbetaed and written on the spur of the moment.
I haven’t written non humor for a while, I think I’m rusty. I also suspect I missed some grammer things in here. If you pick up on any of them, give me a head's up?
Two Sides, written with Yamapi/Jin in mind
Shige frowned when he saw Yamapi sitting in a corner, nibbling on a rice ball. Firstly, Yamapi was usually right in the middle of things - he may not jump around like Koyama or insult people like Ryo, but he was always around and smiling that secret smile of his (which meant that he was probably laughing at you, but too nice to do it openly). Secondly, Yamapi never nibbled on food when he could wolf it all down like it was the last edible thing on Earth instead.
He adjusted his glasses and crouched down next to Yamapi.
“It is wrong to want to have sex with someone you don’t love?” Yamapi asked suddenly. Yamapi, who usually spent time with people goofing off and doing silly things, could occasionally be melancholy, even in a group of his friends. Shige liked him best when he was serious, but he also hated it when he was, as well, and Yamapi was always slightly lonely now, without Jin.
He opened his mouth to reply -
“No, I mean, it is wrong to want to have sex without someone who you don’t love love, but just love?”
Shige sighed. Talk about starting with the deep questions.
“Could you live with yourself, if you did?” he said.
Yamapi paused. “No. I don’t think I can.”
Raccoon, Yamapi/Jin
She regarded the boy seriously.
She had been perched on her owner’s side table, and looked on, a touch bored and concerned at the boy beside her who was spread out, his hair mussed and eyes closed on her owner’s bed.
He rolled over in her direction and picked her up gently, always remembering that her owner was always careful with her and hugged her to his chest.
“I wish I didn’t miss him so much,” he whispered into her ear, voice catching and breaking. There’s a hot wetness on her shoulder and she trembled in his shaky grip.
She remained silent.
Harder Questions, written with Yamapi/Jin in mind
“What’s the worst thing someone can do?” the interviewer asked and Yamapi blinked at her, eyes wide with surprise.
“I don’t know,” he said carefully. He hasn’t had many questions like this - most of the questions they’ve asked him in the past, he’d been asked before and he could reel off a reply without thinking. It wasn’t to say he didn’t mean what he said (because he did - he always did), but that he already knew the answer, long ago.
“What’s the worst thing someone could do to you?”
Yamapi thought for a bit, and hesitated.
“To leave me,” he said, finally. “To leave me by myself.”
3. Also, my fine came in the mail today and I’m all tense about having to get the money to pay it off, so the drabbles aren’t exactly happy, I must admit.
ETA: I knew there was a reason why I kept this icon around.
ETA 2:OMG, I SUCK. I've edited the drabbles at least six times already. *fails*
