AN: I wanted to write a multi-chapter fic for Wizards Vs Aliens, and then I stumbled across the Alphabet challenge, so I ran with it. Most of these are only a couple of hundred words long, but, eh. I will try to update every day, but, of course, school work has to be prioritised! (...Not that I have history homework I should be doing right now. Nope.)

DISCLAIMER, I OWN NOTHING.

A is for...

Acrylics

Lexi shifts in her seat, curling a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear, glancing up from her book. "Tom, what are you doing?"

"Painting." Tom holds the paintbrush aloft, gesturing to the paint palette of acrylic paint sitting on the grass beside his shoe.

"Painting what?" Lexi snaps The Mayor Of Casterbridge shut, marking her place with one of the many leaves falling from the large oak tree she's leaning against, looking interested.

"Just...stuff." Tom shuffles, looking slightly embarrassed, the tips of his ears tinged pink.

"What sort of "stuff"?"

"Just stuff. Like, still life, y'know?"

She nods (even though she has no idea what still life means). "Can I see?"

"No, no!" He looks alarmed. "It's, er...it's not finished."

"I'm sure it's brilliant - no, wait...I'm sure it's spectacular." She nods, beaming at him with the use of his usual catchphrase.

"It's really not that great -" Tom starts to say, but Lexi has already leapt off the ground and collapsed down beside him to catch a glance of the drawing, too quickly for Tom to react in time and try to hide the canvas. For a few minutes, she doesn't say anything. Then:

"Tom..."

A tall girl is resting against a tree, surrounded by burnt orange leaves, an open novel resting on her lap, her short blonde fringe framing her face, one strand falling in front of her bright blue eyes, invested in the pages of her book.

Tom has turned the colour of a tomato, eyes trained on the floor. "As I said, it's not finished, and it's really not that great -"

"I love it." Lexi silences him with a soft peck on the cheek. "It's beautiful. Thank you."

"Yeah, well..." He glances at her sideways, smiling in that way that always makes her blush. "...So are you."

It's not very long, but it's not my worst :)
