    Summary

    You stood in front of the roaring fire, the smell of gasoline and the mix of adrenaline making you heave. The canister, a bright red thing half your size, slipped from your hands with a clang —but you knew, sooner or later, that you had to bend down and pick it up again. Run back to the car, shove the keys into the ignition and drive near the old and abandoned scrap yard that was near the local cemetery, or drive it off a cliff somehow. Preferably without you in it.

    But you had to be smart about it. Destroy the car, hide the canister in a way that it could never be found — leaving it behind to burn along with everything else would be stupid, would be leaving behind evidence, would be dragging that man into this entire, shitty affair, and God knows how you've tortured him enough, used him, humiliated him. Debased him, really.

    Your diaries too. They had to be burned or thrown into the sea; that little girl had scribbled with all her might down to the last detail, and that just wouldn't do. Less diaries and more like confessions. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, all the way to yesterday.

    You picked up the canister. Car. Abandoned scrapyard - or cliff - local cemetery.

    And after that?

    Summary

    You were both sitting on your balcony, fourth floor up, with your backs against the wall and the clammy, summer night heat clinging to your skin. The tube of ice-cream sitting in between you had all but melted into soup an hour ago and neither one of you bothered to return it to the freezer.

    “Let’s break up.”

    Summary

    Scarcely had his young and adorable wife spoken to him in the last year of their sacred union, marred only through faults of his own, a sense of powerless that crippled — the cruel passage of time had spared the general's life, and yet had robbed him of courage. Had Jing Yuan possessed the courage, the zealousness of youth had once granted him, he would have taken the vicious hit you had graciously saw fit to grant him in a fit of righteous rage and would have, at once, taken the necessary steps to bring back into the satin, slippery sheets of your shared bed instead of leaving the passage of year's time to scar what little good and graceful this blessed wedding had granted him.

    Summary

    Shisui had never felt more like a whore than he did now — looking across, however, from his place behind the cardboard counter that was standing upright merely by thoughts and prayers as well as a shit ton of superglue to keep it all together, he was pleased to note that not only was your jar only up to the on-third of his, but that you were also the only one out of the three doctors situated there to be receiving such low clientele.

    Shisui, meanwhile, was thriving. He was like a cacti; endurable and adaptable.

    You, on the other hand, were a hibiscus; pleasant to the eye but fragile to keep upright.

    Summary

    “If anyone here is playing a game I’d rather think it would be you.”

    Nevertheless, he offered you his arm, like any gentleman would. “You are right, of course, so play along!” You curled your elbow around his. “Whatever little standing I may have in your eyes, whisk it away for today and play this game of pretence with me.”

    Summary

    “Kaveh.”

    A plea.

    A warning.

    “I don’t,” Kaveh mumbled out, “I don’t want you.” His throat burned with the effort.

    “You don’t have to want me,” Alhaitham said, finally, sounding resolute and absolute, shifting closer to the body in the bathtub. Kaveh turned his head further away still - he didn’t want to turn his head around, didn’t want to give ground to the fingers that came to rest at the back of his neck. If he did then surely they would find purchase on his chin, his cheeks. “You just have to let me help you.”

    Summary

    He stopped.

    You stopped.

    “Breathing the same air as you exponentially lowers my quality of life,” you breathed out of your nose, making it so as if you were smelling shit stuck on your shoe. “Please move?”

     

    OR

     

    You hate him, he hates you. Nothing could be simpler.

    (except, of course, everything)

    Summary

    She merely laughed at him, swiping her hair aside before wrapping a finger around his own black hair, bringing the offending strand up to her lips, half lidded gaze conveying everything she wanted to say anyway. She tugged at his hair a bit, and it was as if she had reached out to rip his chest open, past the dead and rotten flesh, and strangle him with his own lungs.

    Summary

    the man stopped, long and elegant finger (you wondered how could fingers look so attractive) softly denting the paper he was holding while he stilled his typing on the laptop. sleepy eyes raised to meet your own, face still angled down slightly and not moving. he quirked an eyebrow and waited. his bushy eyebrows were even more impressive from up close.

    “you need to let me draw you.”

    he blinked, ridiculously aesthetically pleasing long eyelashes fluttering as he peered at you, poker face unbreakable. still, you thought you saw his lips – attractive, and soft, and plump – twitch.

    Summary

    “Hajime, I’m not really sure about this.”

    How did you two end up like this, it really left you dumbfounded. When you suggested ‘spicing up’ the bedroom game to your boyfriend this is definitely not what you meant, though who were you to complain?

    “Babe, don’t worry it’s gonna be fun I swear.”

    Summary

    you lived for those moments, something so sweet, so domestic and warm, it was like honey trickling down your throat and into your heart — the feeling was welcoming and endearing. it was safe, with him by your side, and when he’d leave he would take some of that with him, but that’s okay, you told yourself. tobirama would come back, and you would be complete again, warm and safe and no amount of bad dreams would be capable of ruining your mood.

    but, at times like this where you’re left alone, in a house too big for one person, too empty and too cold, you felt the full effect of those dreams — images buried deep within your brain and behind your eyes like thorns, and your stomach rolled uncomfortably. the smell stayed with you all day.

    Summary

    “What are you doing?!” He roared at the girl in the white ghastly wedding gown. In response she glared –adorable– and picked up something else from the ground, a heavy-looking crown, and threw it at him again. Semi breathed fire and molten gold liquid splattered on the ground, inches away from his face.

    Ah, she seemed so upset, she was yelling at him, “you impudent little oversized rodent! What the hell?!” Her gemstones shined with unshed tears, the salty smell hitting his nostrils, “What was that about?! You just– just up and left me here, witless worm!” If it was anyone else, Semi would have long now turned their bones into ornaments. But this was none other than her, herherher, so he allowed himself to be the outlet of her rage. She was raving, arms flailing around and looking as ridiculous as ever. Semi let her pour it all out; all her anger, pain, worry. Whatever it was that was inconveniencing her mind and body at the time.

    “I thought you were dead.”

    Summary

    “Let’s try this again,” Hajime smirked at your flushed face and you nodded, hands shaking from the sudden income of adrenaline.

    “You’ll catch me, right?”

    He scoffed at you, a silent reassurance, and tightened his hold on you, “ready?”

    Summary

    Normally you would sit silently and thrive as he bombed, but today you were feeling some sort of way, and it definitely wasn’t because of the way his hair was sticking in every direction, just a jumbled up mess to go along with his frustrated expression.

    And it definitely had nothing to do with the burning desire to have his eyes glare into yours with heated intensity and the something he always seemed to have behind those golden orbs. No, no.

    “From you?” His baritone voice didn’t hold hostility, rather he sounded surprised and a little, dare you say, happy to receive help.

    You shrugged, “do you want to pass or would you rather get detention and supplement lessons?”

    “I’d rather not have the parchment explode in my face.”

    Summary

    Sometimes, when you’d be mad at the strawberry blonde, you’d just so happen to forget a needle in the kitchen table, or on the cushions of the couch, or you would just genuinely forget the damn thing laying somewhere in the apartment — the end result was the same; a panic-stricken boyfriend on the edge of a heart attack bursting into whatever room you were in to start roasting you about your poor needle placement skills, or to berate you for being childish enough to mess with him like that.

    Hanamaki–bless his poor, unsuspecting soul–speed-walked to your side, brows scrunched up in worry. However, he took one look at the now bloody needle laying on the counter, the white thread surrounded by specks of blood, and just plain simply passed out right then and there.
