Well, I'm quite fond of One-Shots, so I decided to make this little thing :) Anyway, they have an average of 500 - 800 words each, depending on many things. I write Rose/Dimitri, Janine/Abe, Lissa/Christian, Sydney/Adrian and maybe Jill/Eddie... But on with the story, right?
Title: Kodak Moment
Pairing: Rose/Dimitri
Word Count: 555
Disclaimer: Richelle Mead owns it. I just like to have fun with them.
Rose padded out of the bedroom to find Dimitri seated at the kitchen table, going through what looked like a stack of old pictures. "Where did those come from?" she asked sleepily, hand rubbing her eyes in an attempt of fully waking up.
"Uhm… Oh, my mother sent them" He answered a little uneasily, carefully placing the pictures face down on the table, hoping she wouldn't notice.
The girl perked up when she noticed he was trying to hide the photos from her; stepping closer and closer until she was standing next to him, she grinned. "Why do I get the impression you don't want me to see them?" She sounded amused. Quickly, she snatched the first one from the pile and dashed to the bedroom.
Dimitri was very fast and was on her in a flash, taking the picture from her hands and holding it above her head, where she couldn't reach it; damn his 6'7" frame. The shorter dhampir was no quitter, though; she kept jumping on him with stretched out arms as he moved backwards to keep her as far from the photo as he could.
With all the struggling going on, they failed to realize just how close to the bed they were; one particularly determined jump from Rose sent them both to the sheets, her body pressing on top of his and their faces just inches apart. They shared smiles before closing the space between them in a heated kiss and suddenly, nothing else mattered much. He let go of the picture and placed his hands on her face, holding her to him.
The kiss ended abruptly, leaving a very confused Dimitri lying on the bed as his girlfriend triumphantly held the picture up. "That was low." He stated half-seriously, eyes narrowing as if to emphasize his point.
"Well, it worked, didn't it?" Her laugh was melodic as she looked at the faded photo in her hands. A very much younger version of Dimitri sat at a table; his face was covered in a gooey substance matching that on the plate in front of him. His smile was wide and excited, like he'd just found out the greatest thing in life. "How old were you?" She inquired softly.
"Four." He said simply, moving behind her and hugging her waist. "It was the first time my mother allowed me to eat chocolate cake by myself." A chuckle left his lips as he recalled that day. He'd begged Olena to give him the fork, insisting that he was already a big boy and big boys didn't need their mother's help to eat.
"So that is the stuff covering your face!" Rose joked, receiving a poke on the ribs as an answer; she just laughed and snuggled closer to him. The picture stirred something inside her; she started wishing that she and Dimitri could make happy moments, those that were worth photos like that.
"As much as I'd love to stay here hugged to you, we have to work." He murmured, his lips glued to her ear. The kiss he pressed to her cheek brought her back from her thoughts; she groaned in protest, but knew he was right. So, she set the picture on her nightstand and walked to her closet, apparently, the happy moments would have to wait until their break.
So, I have two other One-Shots ready, one L/C and the other J/A; but you guys feel free to send prompts if there's anything you want to see!
