Drabble Table

[raspberryichigo]

Okay. I chose to do the lyrics table over at drabble_rikkai. Table:

Let's conspire to re-ignite
I love all the dirty tricks
your time is now
Paradise comes at a price

Means are right for taking
we gamble to be born again
Tomorrow's only a king
nothing in my dream that isn't creepy crawling

Daylight bores the sunshine out of me

Comments

your time is now

[raspberryichigo]

"Do you see that, Akaya?" Yukimura asks his second-year ace on the third Monday in September, and motions at nothing in particular. They are standing side-by-side in a classroom on the second floor, leaning carefully out a window that overlooks the tennis courts.

Kirihara hesitates, unable to decide if this is a test. Yukimura continues.

"That's yours now. All of it. Do you see?" He half-smiles. "I'm giving it to you."

Kirihara looks puzzled. "What're you talking about?"

Yukimura sighs.

"Akaya," he begins again, "it's your time now." And then he makes a gesture, wide and all-encompassing.

And finally, Akaya sees.

*sniffle*

Oh Kiri-kins... ♥

*tackleglomps Yukimura*

I love him so, I really, really do...

Oh, and marvelous image for this drabble! I can see it happening in the late afternoon, with all that warm sunshine spilling in through the windows, and Yukimura making that grand, expansive gesture, telling Akaya that he's leaving it all to him now.

*sighs*

Wonderful piece, absolutely wonderful.

Re: your time is now

[raspberryichigo]

Yes! Yes, that's exactly what came to mind. Just like royalty.

Thank you very much! :D

paradise comes at a price

[raspberryichigo]

It. Is. Heaven.

Heaven.

Delicious, with amazingly sweet chocolate cake and crazygood dark chocolate icing and the most perfectly-shaped strawberries and raspberries and Akaya almost dies of how stupidly good it is.

Beside him, Yagyuu-senpai sighs.

"You know," he begins, not even looking up from grading Akaya's English homework. "I won't save you when Marui finds out who stole his cake."

"Mmaummphnn!" Akaya replies, spewing crumbs everywhere. Yagyuu gingerly wipes them away with his sleeve.

"Yes, well," he mutters, but can't help the way his lips twitch when Akaya gives him a gleeful, chocolatey grin.

But that doesn't mean he intervenes when Marui finds, pounces on and noogies the life out of Kirihara.

Oh, Bunta would just kiss Akaya to get every cake bits he can get off his kohai's mouth.

*goes in my AkaBun/Maruihara land*

[raspberryichigo]

Ahaha... Perhaps? I'm not particularly fond of Maruihara, so... XD;

*chuckles* That Kirihara certainly learned the hard way. I enjoyed this!

let's conspire to re-ignite

[raspberryichigo]

"He said, 'In my country, even an elementary school kid could beat him.' You seaweed bastard," Yagyuu intones dispassionately, and that's all it takes for Akaya to feel the blinding, burning rage and passion rise up in his throat.

And he beats that fucking gaijin. Destroys him in a way that Kirihara's never destroyed anyone else.

When he goes back, battered and bruised and bloody, to sit with the rest of his team, he realizes that they're all smirking at him -- even Yukimura, with his sardonic, feline twist of the lips -- but Akaya doesn't figure out why until later.

Nice. I love Akaya entirely too much.

tomorrow's only a king

[raspberryichigo]

"One day you'll get here too," Yukimura says, and something about it feels like a promise. He reaches over to run his fingers through Akaya's wild, wet, tangled hair, attempting to push it all out of the other boy's eyes. "And when you do, I will be waiting for you on the other side of the net."

"Don't leave yet. I'll get there tomorrow," Akaya chokes, rubbing furiously at his eyes with the palm of his free hand.

"You won't."

Kirihara looks completely miserable. "Hate you so bad."

This only serves to make Yukimura smile.

"You'll forgive me someday."

we gamble to be born again

[raspberryichigo]

"Yanagi-senpai," Kirihara starts, looking up at his upperclassman from the pillow of his crossed arms, "You believe in reincarnation?"

Yanagi smiles slightly.

"Perhaps."

Kirihara traces an illegible message onto the tabletop with the tip of his finger. "Me too. You think we met before?"

Yanagi tilts his head slightly. "The probability is slim."

Akaya blinks. "Oh. And the probability's the same of meeting again next time?"

"I believe so."

Kirihara pouts, face half-hidden in his arms. "Sucks."

"Hmm?"

"Wha? Oh. ...Nothin'."
