Disclaimer: If we owned anything we'd be on a beach down in Florida drinking a gin and tonic.
Summary: This was made in part because ShinjucAt decided to bribe me. A one time only set of Zero/Yuiko, Zero/ Yayoi drabbles. Can't believe I'm doing this.
#1- Home- The Secret Garden Soundtrack--
"Close your eyes and you can see it."
"See what?"
"Paradise."
The aqua haired Zero stared blankly at Yayoi for a minute or two. There was a reason he had agreed to go out with him, Youji was sure of it.
#2- Country-
Beyond the high rise of the tower made from silver metals and copper, Natsuo watched the sunrise, his one good eye reflecting the light.
Behind him, his newest partner was recording any findings on the body their chief Soubi had called in.
He had to hand it to her that she at least had her priorities strait.
#3- All Star-- Smash Mouth--
That little gesture that Youji made at Yayoi when he thought the grey tint haired male wasn't looking was, to say the very least, getting very annoying.
#4- Hanging by a moment-- Lifehouse--
Old candles, holding within, small flickering flames ready to be put out of their misery by the bed of wax under them. But, they would not be put out just yet. They were the only witnesses to Natsuo tucking Yuiko into bed.
#5- Run-Around-- Blues Traveler--
Harmonicas. Were there anything worse that you could pick up for ninety-nine cents?
Cat ears leaning back and human ears being protected by his hands, Youji made a mental note to never again think he could teach Yayoi to play a harmonica again.
Another broken note met the Zero's ears.
#6- Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart-- Anastasia soundtrack--
Blinking innocently, Yuiko tried very hard not to be intimidated by Natsuo. It was either they go to a gallery or go see a bunch of show girls strip-tease.
Regardless of being a woman, Yuiko, being Yuiko, chose the latter. It was Natsuo's turn anyway.
#7- As If-- Blaque--
"He's back again."
Looking from his current boyfriend and out the shop's window, Yayoi's eyes widened at seeing his previous, abusive, boyfriend. And he was looking for someone.
Not thinking entirely too clearly, Yayoi ducked under the table. If he was lucky one of the shelves might not be occupied.
While he did that, Youji was still looking out the window, a chilling look coming to his eyes.
"Want me to kick his ass for you?"
#8- Just What I Need-- Bring It On soundtrack--
Chewing on the interestingly sweet desert his little girlfriend had gotten him, Natsuo tried to figure out what he was eating.
Yuiko had said they were bon-bons, but he wasn't sure if that was entirely true. Bon-bons were thicker and stickier and-- God this was good!
#9- What's This-- The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack--
"AAAAAHHHHH!!"
Standing above Youji, Yayoi asked repeatedly if the Zero sacrifice was alright. Youji, currently, could not answer. He had never thought that Yayoi would have the spine or the gall to even attempt to frighten him. And he had.
But, back to the present. Was Youji having a stroke?
#10- What Hurts the Most-- Rascal Flatts--
Under the bed covers, Natsuo tried to breath steady. Yuiko had been gone less than three hours, and already the brunet was missing her. If he was like this now, how would he react when she actually went over-seas for her job?
#11- I Write Sins, Not Trageties-- Panic at the Disco--
Wringing his hands, Yayoi walked through the church with careful strides. Didn't want to get his friends into a panic just because Yayoi thought that his husband-to-be wasn't going to show up.
#12- Blackbird-- The Beatles--
Holding the new baby in his hands, very aware that he was a father now, Natsuo placed the newborn atop it's mother, grabbing a shoelace to tie the cord.
This had been the scariest thing that he and Yuiko had ever gone through, and in a way, was probably the best thing.
#13- On My Way-- Phil Collins--
Camping had been a mistake. Yayoi had known this would be a disaster the second that he and Youji had gotten of the train, heavy backpacks and all.
"Come on, Yayoi! Get the lead out. It's only another mile and a half." The little deviant called back to the panting, near dead Yayoi, currently perched on a tree branch caught between two boulders.
#14- Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now- Cat's Don't Dance soundtrack--
"Natsuo-kun, this is so embarrassing! I'm sorry about this, really." Yuiko wept, truly sad that she and Natsuo were stuck outside the concert hall because at the moment, the pink haired female was trying to fix her dress that had been ripped practically in half thanks to some jerk on the bus.
Luckily for her, the eye-patch wearing Zero was rather good with ripped cloth, always carrying around a set of safety pins.
#15- Mother Earth and Father Time-- Charlotte's Web soundtrack--
School plays were totally pointless. At least in Youji's opinion, which was the most important opinion in the room. A room that he, Youji, currently occupied wearing some stupid dark green suit with Yayoi, who was wearing some sort of kimono from a hundred years ago that only women wore.
#16- Come On A My House-- Rosemary Clooney--
Decorating every available spot in the kitchen, Natsuo observed, was some sort of fruit.
Raspberry, apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, raisins, some kind of pink... oh, wait. That was his wife.
"Yuiko, what are you doing?"
"Trying to make Peachy Keen tarts." Yuiko answered, opening the fridge to show him the fruits of her labor. Like, every spot in the fridge was occupied by little pieces of heavenly bliss.
#17- Pastoral Symphony-- Fantasia soundtrack--
"Youji, please get down off the roof-- WAIT! No, not that way-- AAAAHHH!!"
Quick to avoid any sort of injury that could break his spinal cord in half, Yayoi jump from where he was previously standing to the closest area that Youji couldn't smash into.
Which happened to be a rose bush. Ouch.
#18- Paris is a Lonely Town-- Gay Purr-ee soundtrack--
The sky above Yuiko's head flashed with lightning, illuminating the rain that poured down on her as she walked through the empty streets. Her entire form was soaked and she was starting to shake from the cold, but she didn't really notice. She had to keep her mind on the street signs she passed. Youji had said over the phone that Natsuo was at Tokyo emergency hospital on Odaiba street.
#19- Consider This-- Anna Nalick--
Hands that had never actually felt anything, were suddenly roaming over the surface of something soft and light and warm.Youji traced lightly over Yayoi's abdoman with the very tips of his fingers, enjoying the sounds that came from the other male in the process.
#20- Eye 2 Eye-- Goofy Movie soundtrack--
Listening to the steady heartbeat of his little pink haired female, Natsuo considered waking her up, her heart always had an extra thump when she was awake which in some ways made her seem more alive.
But, then, Yuiko was in REM sleep. Waking her up now would be kinda pointless and rude and mean...
Sheesh, since when did he care about the comforts of others?
#21- He's a Tramp-- Peggy Lee--
Removing his glasses from his nose, Yayoi took his handkerchief out, wiping them clean.
However, with putting them back on his nose, he found that his sight was not failing him, Youji was indeed dancing on top of a table, slowly stripping off what little clothing he had on already.
#22- Perfect Isn't Easy-- Bette Middler--
"Natsuo-kun, I really don't think you need to wear this." Yuiko told the brunette, observing him as he continued to apply herlip balm and skin moisturizer.
"But it tastes good." Natsuo whined. And it was true, the strawberry lip balm was delicious and carried no threat of poisoning him.
#23- Taking Chances-- Celine Dion--
"You are crazy if you think I'm doing this." Youji told Yayoi point-blank, voice totally deadpan.
Yayoi then proceeded to make a face that was similar to a kicked puppy, out in the rain, in the middle of winter.
"But, Youji, you promised!"
"I don't care! I'm not getting my nails painted by some high school dead head who can't be more than fifteen!" The Zero exclaimed, running far from the salon, Yayoi in hand.
#24- Oh, How I Wish I Was There-- Rodney Dangerfield--
Slot machines, strippers, show girls, money, alcohol. Las Vegas. Natsuo had dreamed of going there since he and Youji had read a paper about it at the academy. And he was finally there.
But, he felt kind of... empty. Thoughts of home suddenly crossed his mind. Corn, chickens, cows, barns, twenty five cent soda, fresh air. Yuiko.
"I got to get out of here!" Natsuo suddenly exclaimed, grabbing his luggage and heading for the airport.
#25- Far Longer than Forever-- Liz Callaway and Howard McGillian--
Starlight Express. For once, Youji was doing something romantic for Yayoi and was doing it well. That was hard to do. Yayoi had known the Zero since they were twelve and this was the first time he had done anything remotely romantic.
And perhaps, Yayoi could get used to it.
Okay, this is the first set. Tell us what you think. Did it suck, was it worht reading, is Shinju crazy for thinking these could work?
Tell us, please.
