I've been a little stuck on the writing front recently. The insane busy-ness that comes with starting a new job probably has something to do with it, but I needed an exercise to get my creative juices flowing. I decided to write some drabbles - to anyone who doesn't know, they're little short stories/scenes in 100 words, no more, no less.

This isn't written for the Twilight Twenty-Five or anything, just for my own enjoyment. There'll be a variety of pairings according to the prompts I've used. Alverdine prompted me for this first one. Thanks to evieeden for reading over it for me before I posted. =

Pairing: Jasper/Edward

Prompts: A bench, and the word 'smile'

This one's from EPOV, and it's hopefully obvious who the people are that the drabble refers to.


1) Smile - Jasper & Edward

The sticky, humid air smells like jasmine. I feel the bench's weight shift beneath me and look up into forest green eyes, tousled blonde waves and a longing smile.

I smile back.

An hour or so later, I watch the moonlight play over his beautiful, naked form as he sleeps beside me. As usual, I'll be gone before he wakes. I still don't know his name.

Silently, I let myself into the house and curl up next to her warmth. She hasn't stirred.

My smile is brittle, and a single tear slips from my eye.

I wish it was him.


The A/N is longer than the drabble. Damn. Reviews are always appreciated! If anyone has any drabble prompt suggestions, feel free to throw them at me. Thanks for reading. xxx
