A/N: AYYYYYYYYEEEE how's it going? I just took my AP test for World History and it was dreadful so I have retired to my home to write! So, here's some music shuffle drabbles!
ALSO, a few of these drabbles are a bit adult (not in the way you're thinking), with some content that is a bit more mature and serious. SO, just a warning. It's rated T for a reason :)
RULES
1. Pick a character or pairing you like: Cresswell
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it stops.
4. No lingering afterwards.
5. Do 10 of these and post them.
Steal My Girl by One Direction (oops lol)
Everybody want to steal my girl, everybody try to take her heart away
Thorne sat on a stool in the diner, his fist under his chin, sighing. Where was she? Cress was supposed to meet him here at noon for lunch. He had developed feelings for her over the last few months, and they finally decided to try dating. It was incredible, and he had never been so happy in his life.
He turned to look around when he saw her walking in, and she grinned at him. Her smile made his heart do flips. She was adorable and his. He smiled back at her and stood, making his way towards her.
Just as he was about to reach her, a guy with shaggy blond hair and a very douche-y tank top strolled up to her, a smirk on his face.
Thorne nearly grabbed the butter knife off of the table next to him and stabbed this guy in the throat. His rage was uncontainable.
"Hey, baby. How you doin'?" He licked his lips. Then was quickly picked up by his shirt and moved by Thorne.
"She's doing great."
Medicine by daughter
You've got a warm heart, you've got a beautiful brain but it's disintegrating
From all the medicine
It happened.
Slowly, very slowly, and then all at once.
It started with the tears, and then the screaming.
She sat with him on the bathroom floor, holding his head in her lap. Her face was contorted as she screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed
His blue eyes were open, trained on the bathroom wall, still and moving.
She felt an undying ache inside of her, and pain; so much pain. Time sort of slowed down and she couldn't hear anything. She could only see him, lying there in her lap, cold and unmoving. It was as if someone had taken a chain saw to her heart, a pickaxe to her ribs., ahammer to her brain. She had been destroyed.
Her bones were no longer existent and she could not breath she could not breath she could not
Why?
Over and over again in her head. Why why why why?
He had told her the year before about his previous addiction. About his depression. About his rehab.
And she'd would have to tell the police about his relapse.
Drive You Home by Parachute
You know that you don't to leave, you don't have to go
He stood there, blinking at her. Of course he couldn't say anything. Of course he didn't feel the same way. What was she thinking?
She shut the door to his room on the Rampion, and a tear rolled down her face. The night had come to an end, and she needed to get back to her room before she fell over or started hyperventilating or sobbing—
"Cress?"
He was standing in the hallway. Looking at her; again. She was the one who blinked at him this time.
"You know that I care about you. You don't have to go. You can talk to me."
She blinked again.
"Or you can go back to your room…" he sighed, then that smirk of his reappeared. "Can I at least walk you to your room?"
She nodded, and took his hand.
Not About Angels by Birdy
If your heart was full of love, would you give it up?
He ran faster than his legs could carry him. He sprinted through the streets and passed by all of the people, bumping into some and yelling apologies as he made it closer and closer to his destination.
Thorne made it to the gate just as she was handing the woman her ticket.
"CRESS!"
She turned to look at him. Her face was unreadable. Shocked? Happy? Upset? Confused?
He panted as he walked over to where she stood, taking a man's suitcase (who protested) and laying it down on the ground. He stood on top of it, looking at everyone in the airport.
"Crescent Moon Darnell, I am in love with you. And I want everyone in the world to know it. You are the love of my life. My heart is filled to the brim with love for you and only you and if you get on that plane then I will be left heartbroken and miserable. I, Captain Carswell Thorne, want you to be my girlfriend."
He hopped off of the suitcase.
"So what do you say?"
Blame It On The Rain by He is We
Tell me does she look at you the way I do try to understand the words you say and the way you move? Does she get the same big rush when you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?
"It's true," Scarlet said, frowning. "I saw them together last night."
Cress put her head in her hands. How could he do this to her? Another girl? Already?
"You seem pretty torn up about this, Cress. Are you okay?" Scarlet asked, frowning. She put a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Cress sniffled, wiping her eyes and covering her face again. "I just can't help but feel like I could have been better and fixed this. I feel so alone in this. If we had kissed or something, if I had let him…"
Scarlet's frown dipped further. "Don't say that Cress. He's a horndog. Don't worry about it, okay? It's high school! Plenty of fish in the sea."
Look After You by The Fray
If I don't say this now I will surely break. As I'm leaving the one I want to take
"NO!"
Gunshot.
Scream.
Blood.
Lots of blood.
She fell to the ground, holding the wound on her stomach. Thorne thought that the world was ending. One of the guards had a gun. How did he not see that the guard had a gun? They were almost to Scarlet and Winter; they were almost done with their mission…They were going to go home…
He rushed to her side. Her eyes were trained up, wide and open. She didn't want to see herself.
"Cress—oh my god, Cress—" He pulled her into his lap, in shock. There was so much blood everywhere, and he didn't know what to do—what was he supposed to do?
"Captain?" she whispered it quietly. He was starting to get emotional. He was breathing very fast.
"You were always my hero," she started to continue before she shut her eyes.
How You Get The Girl by Taylor Swift
Say it's been a long six months and you were too afraid to tell you what you want
Cress opened the door, and her jaw dropped.
"Thorne?"
He was dripping wet, his white t-shirt soaked through, which of course she didn't mind. He was holding a dozen roses, also soaking wet and somewhat disheveled. His jeans hung low on his hips, and there was a hole in one of the knees. He looked ridiculous, but he still was showing off his bright smile.
"I'm sorry," he said over the pouring rain. "I've missed you so much, Cress. I know I broke your heart, but I'll put it back together. I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry I didn't communicate. I've realized all of my mistakes. I am so so sorry, okay? Please let me make it all better. I understand if you hate me, but I'll wait until you're ready to be together again. I would wait forever for you, Crescent Moon. You're my girl, and I'm never like this. You know that right?" he laughed, running a hand through his hair. "But I'm doing this for you. I love you."
And that's how he got the girl.
Beside You by 5 Seconds of Summer
I wish I was I wish I was beside you
"You can't get a sooner flight?"
Cress' voice was clear and loud through the speaker of Thorne's phone. She had been in Los Angeles for a tech conference, and he was left in New York without her. He missed her dearly, and felt like someone had taken half of himself away. She really was his other half.
"Not until tomorrow night, Carswell." He could hear the disappointment in her voice, too. He sighed, pouting.
"But I misssss yoouuuuuu." He tossed a pillow off of the bed.
"I miss you too, Carswell."
"You'll be back Thursday?"
"Just for you, Captain." Thorne grinned.
Temporary Bliss by The Cab
I can't keep sleeping in your bed, if you keep messing with my head
She woke up slowly, groaning, rubbing her eyes. She sat up slowly, resting her head on the headboard and puling the sheet up to cover herself. There was a note on the pillow beside her; his pillow.
"Sorry."
Cress stared at it for a moment before she crumbled it up and threw it out the balcony.
She was tired of this—this shit. This situation that she was in. Too much sadness and frustration and confusion. Didn't he care about her at all? She refused to do this anymore. She couldn't stay with him at night just to have him leave every morning. She wasn't a toy. She had feelings and a heart and she genuinely cared about him, but he wasn't worth all of this chaos.
Cress pulled out her phone and stared at it for a few minutes before her heart panged with sadness. A single tear rolled down her face.
She texted him.
"I can't do this anymore."
Kaleidoscope by Joe Brooks
She's a battlefield except you're fighting with yourself to keep your heart of steel from melting to the ground
"Ahh!" Thorne laughed, kissing his nose. "I love you so dang much!" He took her into his arms and spun her around. Cress laughed and laughed, blushing.
"I love you too!" She exclaimed, kissing his cheek. Thorne spun her once more and then placed her back down on the ground gently. He grinned at her, putting his hands on her shoulders.
"I have an idea. Let's go get tattoos."
Cress laughed and laughed. "You're crazy!"
"Crazy in love!" he yelled, then grabbed her by her waist and kissed her with all of the love for her that he had inside of him. She quickly reciprocated the kiss and stood on her toes, wrapping her arms around his neck. Thorne smile into the kiss and then pulled away, a huge grin on his face.
"CRESECENT DARNELL!"
"CARSWELL THORNE!"
He knelt.
Cress's eyes widened, slowly raising her hands to cover her mouth. Thorne took a ring box out of her pocket, opening it with a smile.
"What do you say? You can be the Captain this time."
A/N: Due to the fact that I had to stop at the end of each song, not every drabble is exactly wrapped up perfectly, but that's the point of drabbles ;)
I hoped you enjoyed! Kai and Cinder next? Or Scarlet and Wolf? Let me know! See you soon lovelies!
