A/N: Okay, I decided to give this a shot. I'm compiling a list of 100 words, each one being a prompt for a short fic/drabble/one-shot. The first list will be directed at the Ronins/Troopers. I'll probably be switching in between the English and Japanese names, whichever will be fitting for each story. Forgive me if I'm a bit rusty. Some of the chapters/stories may be slightly AU. A little bit will be explained about the particular story at the top of each chapter. Hope you all enjoy. C&C appreciated as always.

Prompt: 001 - Patch
Characters: Shin, Touma
Word Count: 233
Notes: A bit awkward start. Read between the lines. Take it as you please.


Shin gazed at the wall, lost in thought. He was curled up on the couch, his head resting against the armrest. He had been quiet for a time; Touma mused silently, but hadn't seemed forlorn. Just thinking. He didn't do it often, nor did they feel the need to disturb him when he did. After all, he'd just smile politely and thank them for their concern.

Later, Shin sighed lightly and stood up. He disappeared into the kitchen for a few minutes and reappeared with a cup of tea in his hands. He sat across from Touma, sipping the drink carefully.

"Thinking of anything in particular?" Touma asked quietly, not minding the peaceful atmosphere. Shin shook his head gently.

"Nothing really." He replied customarily. He waited a moment, taking another sip of his tea. "Have you ever noticed that Nasuti's couch has a small blue patch on the right arm?" It was idle chatter, but it was nice.

"No, I hadn't." He chuckled, Shin would be the only one to make note of such a small detail.

"It holds the fabric together quite nicely." He glanced at Touma's eyes, then back to his cup.

"Does it now? …Ah." Wordlessly, he understood what Shin had been thinking about. He nodded. "It does."

Shin smiled. Until the others returned home, Shin and Touma discussed the little blue patch on the right arm of Nasuti's couch.
