Ahhhhhh, drabble day again! What a stressful week this has been. But I bought some new pens and a notebook and am eying some purses right now, so maybe it's about to get better.
New character this week... he hasn't even been created yet! >.> But I'm making it happen.
9-7-12: Through His Stomach
Characters: Christopher Larkin, Ryo Maeda
His first year at uni was a whirlwind. Surprisingly, he loved everything about it—classes, teachers, and, for the first time ever, friends. Even so, he was glad for winter break, enjoying the downtime at home.
Sometimes he still thought about Ryo; he’d moved away soon after their final meeting, and part of him was sorry for the way things had gone. He hoped Ryo was doing better in his new town.

On Christmas Eve, a box of Chris’ favourite things was delivered, along with a note.
I’m sorry for everything. Hope you still like creme puffs.
Happy Christmas,
Ryo
9-8-12: Night Ride
Characters: Hinata Hanazaki, Eddie Valentine
“No!”
“Come on… please?”
“No!”
“Eddie…”
“NO!” Eddie huffed, folding his arms. “Are you insane? Why would you want to get up there with me? You hate heights! Besides, it’d be weird carrying you around.”
Hana couldn’t deny his fear, and he knew it wouldn’t make sense to Eddie. “I just want to see things the way you do. And I’ve seen you lift way heavier guys out of the bar.”
Eddie frowned the way he always did whenever Hana had a point, and Hana knew he’d won. Eddie didn’t even try to stop him from clambering onto his back.
9-9-12: Slip Up
Characters: Brandon Kimura, Ford Wentham
The screaming fangirls (and maybe fanboys) snapped Brandon out of his mid-concert high—by then it was far too late.
Ford looked just as shocked as he felt, and he fumbled a few chords on his bass. Taking his cues from Ford, he plastered a grin on his face and struggled to pick the beat back up from the drums, silently thanking Allie for being unflappable in his playing as he found his place in the song.
He made his way back to his side of the stage, heart pounding. Maybe they would chalk the kiss up to fanservice…
9-10-12: Funeral Day
Characters: Tomoki Yonemura
The room was dirty and dark and pulsing. It was his blood, his breath; it spun and closed in on him.
He was on the floor, looking down at himself. He was Tomo—he was Hide. There was a rattling somewhere nearby.
He was scared, so scared, and he was alone. Where is he? He was underwater—he couldn’t breathe—please don’t go—
Tomoki’s eyes opened, body still paralyzed in his nightmare. He fought his way out of it, and fumbled for the bedside lamp.
Shaking in the dim light, he wiped his tears and whispered a prayer for Hide.
9-11-12: Pet Your Friends (Part 1)
Characters: Eddie Valentine, Carter Valentine
Eddie wasn’t sure he’d last long surrounded by the thick scent of animals and disinfectant. He clung to Carter’s sleeve, led blindly along as he pinched his nose.
“Here we are.”
He looked around and was met with dozens of pairs of eyes just like his own. He still didn’t get why Carter thought he’d do well with a cat, but he remembered sharing moments with strays during his stint on the streets. He slowly made his way past Carter to peer into the cages, stopping at one.
She was small, weathered, and looking for a home—just like him.
9-12-12: Pet Your Friends (Part 2)
Characters: Eddie Valentine
He’d named her Dandelion for her pale, wispy fur, but he called her Dandy because it was easier.
It wasn’t so daunting having the apartment to himself now, which had probably been Carter’s goal. At least he didn’t have to hear Trev and Carter trying to keep it quiet anymore.
He let Dandy come and go freely, and put her food out at the same time twice a day. She seemed content to stay mostly inside or on the window sill, and Eddie thought he understood why. He had spent quite enough of his time out on those streets, too.
9-13-12: Kitsune
Characters: Nozomu Ito, Shayden Hashimoto
The human didn’t know he was stowing away in his luggage yet; he hoped the pretty man wouldn’t be mad.
He didn’t know where this “England” place was, but there was no longer room for the old myths in his homeland, and this new place would be as good as any other. Maybe even better, if the human wanted to keep him.
It was ironic that the one nonnative he’d been exposed to had been the one to take him in rather than chase him out. Even if he did get mad for this, Nozomu would never forget that kindness.

3. Aw, poor Brandon and Ford. Ford'll be seriously .////. through the rest of the concert.
4. DDDDD: Tomoki~~~. Stupid Hide! Idioooot. Don't worry Tomoki, you'll find someone else~.
5. Awwwwwwwww... Poor abused kitties and poor abused Eddie... a match made in sadness.
6. Hee, Dandelion is such a cute name~! It's cute how she stays inside, even if he lets her out.
7. Aww!! I hope that bag doesn't go through an x-ray machine. XD Or that the security people think he's a plushie or something.
Yay, once more your squee and happy out-weigh the sad! :D d(o.o)

Date: 2012-09-15 01:55 am (UTC)2. All is true. And you know he totally wouldn't mind if Hana gets scared and clingy. >.>
3. Haha, aw. Brandon's not used to hiding his concert elation, apparently.
4. Yeah I have no excuses for this one... I wanted to write about death, at least with Hide I dun have to kill off anyone else. >.>
5. Inoooo. Was Carter's devious plot all along.
6. :DD I like it too, and he totally would call her something easy to remember. XD *might keep her in his universe*
7. Hahaha, I was thinking his foxy powers could hide him from eyes he didn't want to catch him. So he'll prolly pop out on Brandon and give him a heart attack.
:D I think you are also seeing things as less sad finally!
