Prompt(s): Songs from Alexa's iPod
Pairing: Tai Lung/Tigress
Notes: Tell me your favorite sentence...and try to guess mine.
Lipgloss – Lil' Mama
As his striped opponent subconsciously wet her lips with her tongue, Tai Lung could not help but feel a little bit doomed.
I Gotta Get Through This – Daniel Bedingfield
He watched Tigress laugh unusually courteously at something the foreign panther said and forced himself to take a deep breath; redeemed he might have been in Master Shifu's eyes, but he was pretty sure the red panda wouldn't appreciate him lopping off the black-furred feline's head with his chopsticks.
Breakin' Dishes – Rihanna
With a ferocity that would have had Shifu weeping with pride (and maybe a little bit of fear), Tigress pulverized the final Swinging Club of Instant Oblivion with a single strike, wishing it was a certain panther's cheating face; at the very same moment, Tai Lung strolled into a quaint, noodle restaurant, ordered the special and smashed the bowl of hot, steaming noodles into said panther's face before walking out.
Poker Face – Lady GaGa
He inwardly congratulated himself for managing to come up with a pickup line that effectively painted Tigress' poker face a lovely shade of scarlet.
Sway – Michael Buble
Tigress was pleasantly surprised to discover that Tai Lung was not only one of the most graceful men on the battlefield, but also on the dance floor.
She Will Be Loved – Maroon 5
Tai Lung lingered outside her door and hesitantly trailed a paw down the length of the thin fabric before moving onto his room.
If I Never See Your Face Again – Maroon 5 ft. Rihanna
If anything, Viper was a hardcore romantic; despite the harsh words the two felines spat in each other's faces, she was the only one who bothered to read between the lines, and was therefore the only one who was absolutely convinced they were meant to be.
Work It Out – Beyonce
He didn't need to hear her say anything – the moment Tigress pounced on him and lavished him with enthusiastic kisses, Tai Lung knew she missed him too.
Damn Girl – Justin Timberlake ft. Will. I. Am.
Everything about her screamed danger, from the fierce, hellish inferno in her eyes to the deadly precision of her stance, yet Tai Lung couldn't resist leaning a little closer towards her (honestly, who cared if the bridge was about to snap?) – he was a sucker for all things lethal.
Hot In Here – Nelly
Mantis snickered at the look of despair on Tai Lung's face when Tigress lazily meandered into the training hall wearing a…modified version of her usual training outfit to make the sweltering weather a little more bearable (for herself, at least).
Bad Girl – Danity Kane ft. Missy Elliott
As Mantis and Monkey loudly speculated the reasons behind the mysterious red marks around Tai Lung's wrists, Tigress allowed herself a private smirk; in retaliation, the snow leopard discreetly pressed against a weak spot on her lower back as he passed her, and left her aching for more.
What's Your Flava – Craig David
Po, bless his heart, adored making dessert as much as he adored making noodles; as the smell of cinnamon wafted all the way from the kitchen, Tai Lung grinned roguishly at the plentiful memories it incited of a very creative tiger…their eyes met across the training hall, and from the way her lips tilted, he knew what was in store for tonight.
