[drabble] Watermelon (Corda)
Now that I finally have more than half of my alphabet request claimed, I decided to move beyond making notes to actually writing the drabbles. The first is based on the most cracktastically, well, gay picture for Corda.
Title: Watermelon

Disclaimer: Kure Yuki and Koei own them (and the half of my soul not eaten by HaruToki).
Word count: 467
Warning: A different kind of writing style for me, told entirely in dialogue.
Notes: If you don't know the picture this is based on then it might not make much sense. I've only seen a slightly blurry version of it myself, so if anyone knows where a clear copy is I would be grateful to be pointed in that direction.
Written for the W claim from flight_of_ideas.
"Amou-san, could you please explain to us exactly why is this necessary?"
"Oh, come on, Tsukimori-kun, please cooperate? This picture will be what summer is all about!"
"We are already on a beach. Isn't that good enough?"
"What's that, Tsukimori? Is it beneath the great musical genius to loosen up a bit and have fun?"
"..."
"Come now, the two of you, let's not fight. The sooner we all do as Amou-san asks, the sooner the picture will be taken and we can each get back to our own activities."
"Yunoki's right! All we have to do is smile when Amou-chan says, right?"
"Not quite. I brought props! When you think 'summer' you think-"
"The ocean!"
"...popsicles..."
"It should be 'watermelon' shouldn't it?"
"You've got it, Tsuchiura-kun! And so we have this! Here you go, Tsukimori-kun. Stand here and hold this, will you?"
"..."
"R- right, um, moving on, Shimizu-kun guessed correctly too. So... here, Yunoki-senpai, if you would hold these please?"
"Of course, Amou-san."
"And... Hihara-senpai, can you stand right here, and Yunoki-senpai, could you point one of the popsicles toward Hihara-senpai? Yeah, like that. And Shimizu-kun, stand between the two of them and... That's not quite right. Hmm..."
"How about if I do this?"
"Oh, good thinking, Hihara-senpai! Tighten your arm around Shimizu-kun's shoulders a little more? And then lean in toward the popsicle. Perfect!"
"...they're dripping..."
"What's that, Shimizu-kun? Oh, you mean the popsicles. I'll make this quick. Are you going to be able to hold them for a minute, Yunoki-senpai?"
"Oh yes, please don't worry about me."
"All right... Then, Tsuchiura-kun, here."
"Why am I stuck with a lousy can of tea?"
"Don't sweat the details! Stand there, kind of to the side and behind Tsukimori-kun."
"Here?"
"... It's disconcerting when you loom over my shoulder like that."
"Lighten up."
"Amou-san, if you could hurry and finish? This watermelon is heavy."
"Sorry about that. Okay everyone, in three, two... Um, Tsukimori-kun?"
"What?"
"Could you maybe smile a little more?
"I am."
"Here, how's this?"
"Eh?"
*flash*
"Oh! I didn't mean to hit the shutter, but I wonder if that one turned out okay... Good move, Tsuchiura-kun!"
"He could stand to chill out a little. Why don't we take another one just to be- OW! What the heck, Tsukimori?!"
"It's not like I purposely dropped it on your foot. I warned Amou-san that the watermelon was heavy."
"And maybe if you did something besides play your violin you would have the strength to hang onto it for more than a minute!"
"Just who startled me by putting his ice-cold tea can against my cheek?"
"Now, you two..."
"Ah! Yunoki, the popsicles!"
"... Oh dear. It looks like no one will be able to eat them anymore."
"... they've melted..."
"So much for capturing summer..."

Trese, we both made it out alive! Hope you liked it! ^^
Oh, and it probably should have been a can of lemonade that Tsuchiura is holding, judging from how yellow it is in the picture, but you know what? Prove it! XD
