Original Fiction Drabbles - Week Two

[comma_chameleon]

Giving it a Gamble – August 3rd, 2012 [Makoto Nanami, Jacob Knight, Ford Wentham]

“I don’t like him.”

“He’s not harming anyone, Ford,” Makoto replied, not looking up from the ledger he was balancing.

“He’s slept with half of the men from last week’s game!”

“Not at once, I hope. Seems a bit messy…”

Frowning, Ford bit his tongue, holding back the real reason for his anger. He wanted to tell Makoto that he was jealous of Jake, of how free the other man was with his feelings, and how easy he found it to cozy up to Makoto, when he had been keeping his own feelings for Makoto to himself for so long.


Together Alone in the Dark – August 4th, 2012 [James Landon/Eddie Valentine]

He knows he shouldn’t be grateful that the other man can’t see him, that because of the bastard that blinded him, James couldn’t see what he looked like when they met, and judge him.

“You’re thinking again,” James says softly, sitting next to him. It’s 3am and they’re together in the park, two people alone who don’t seem to fit in anywhere, fitting together here at least.

“I would hurt him for you… if you let me,” Eddie says, surprised to feel that it’s the truth.

“I know,” James replies, not for the first time wishing he could let Eddie.


Marked – August 5th, 2012 [Ford Wentham]

It’s not his first tattoo, but it’s definitely larger than the last one.

The low hum of the needle and the sharp pain as it’s dotted into his skin has Ford biting his bottom lip a little, not because it hurts, but because it feels so good that it hurts, which means he’s grateful that the artist is currently working on the outline on the back of his thigh, because then his erection is hidden against the table he’s laying on, and not right in the other man’s face.

Still, he thinks that he’ll visit the bathroom before he leaves.


Out in the Rain – August 6th, 2012 [Yukio Katsukawa/Makoto Nanami, Daiki-puppy]

“It’s not your fault…”

Makoto says that, but Yu’s not sure that he can believe him. How is it not his fault that Daiki’s run away? He knew that his beloved pet had felt replaced and pushed aside since Makoto had come into his life – even if Yu hadn’t forgotten about Daiki in the face of love – so how is this anything but his fault?

“I need to go look for him…”

It’s pouring rain outside, but Yu doesn’t care. Daiki was the first in his life to show unconditional love, and he’s not going to just let him go.


Wired – August 7th, 2012 [Ford Wentham, Alliance Jinks]

“So I managed to get all the information you asked for, but I also got a little bit more, which is good, right? Because I know it can be dangerous, and I don’t like the thought of you sending Brandon out on a job without proper information—“

Ford watched the pint-sized hacker as he moved his chair back and forth between several computers, even as he continued to talk rapidly, barely a pause for breath. Frowning a little, he closed the space between them and touched Allie’s shoulder to get his attention.

“Allie… did you take your meds today?”


Coming Home – August 8th, 2012 [Makoto Nanami, Alliance Jinks, Okuda-sensei]

Makoto’s sure he’ll never get over the horror he felt when Allie told him what was happening to him at home.

Even now as he watches the younger boy sleep in the Okuda’s spare room, he still feels that heavy rock in the pit of his stomach as he wonders how someone could do such things to a sweet and innocent six year old.

He knows that he owes Okuda-sensei more than ever now for taking in another mouth to feed, and he’ll repay that debt by protecting Allie with all he is.

No one will ever hurt him again.


Every Day – August 9th, 2012 [Reika Larkin, Ryo-kitty]

“Again? You know, one day I’m not going to be home, and then what are you going to do?”

Reika doesn’t expect the small silver cat to answer as she opens the door and lets it inside, following it to the kitchen and giving it a look when it eyes the kitchen counter.

“Don’t even think about it… I may feed you, but you’re NOT going on my clean countertop.”

The cat just looks at her, though she swears it would be smirking if cats could, even as she sets the plate of leftover salmon in front of it.

“Cheeky…”
