Author's Notes: I did this for the 1Sentences LJ comm. Finished in two days, but I started on it a bit late though. :P Started with the prompt 'Overwhelmed' and ended with 'gravity'. Then I arranged them in a logical-ish order. Prompts are bolded.

Claimed HaruMaru because Sandileina (and I'm not sure if I spelled that right) wrote them all cute during that one hospital/bathroom scene. And I fell in love with the pairing. XD Oh and and credit to Sandileina for 'Haru' and 'Maru'.

Also, if anyone has an idea for a better title, please do tell. :) And a summary too, if it's not too troublesome for you to do so. Credit for you, of course. :)

Enjoy!

Warnings: Shonen-ai. Some suggestive themes.


1. Ring

Nothing annoyed Niou more than the ring of the bell, just as he was about to kiss Marui.

40. Whisper

Nothing calmed Marui down more than the whisper of Niou's breath by his ear as he slept.

25. Mask

It wasn't until Niou removed that dang mask he had that Marui realized he loved him.

49. Lock

Marui was proud to be the one who unlocked Niou's feelings.

27. Fall

Niou has mixed feelings about the tripping incident, because on the negative side, he'd made a complete fool of himself in front of everyone, but on the positive side, he had fallen on top of Marui.

46. Gravity

"Ow, stupid gravity," complained Niou as he got up from the floor with Marui helping him.

29. Dance

Marui would've been tripping over his own feet by now, if weren't for Niou's guiding hand on his back.

23. Fire

Niou liked to watch the redhead's passionate eyes as he concentrated on cooking the 'most delicious strawberry cake in the world ever'.

13. View

He also liked to watch the view as Marui bent down to pick up a fallen spoon.

36. Laugh

Marui liked how Niou laughed freely only around him, but didn't like the fact that Niou was laughing because of the strawberry cake splattered all over him.

7. Wings

"Fly, little birdie, fly!" Marui urged on, with Niou chuckling at his antics from behind.

50. Breathe

Niou was going to die of oxygen depletion of Marui didn't let go of him now.

48. Unknown

Everyone just couldn't understand how Niou and Marui clicked together, but one night of spying in the clubroom changed that.

21. Silence

Being quiet was something Marui just didn't understand, so Niou had to gag him as they did their nighttime activities.

16. Cover

"Cover yourself up, Maru, unless you want me to ravish you again."

12. Temptation

"Ne, Haru, you do know you look sexy with your hair down, right?" said Marui as he advanced on to his smirking silver-haired boyfriend.

8. Cold

When Marui whined about the cold, Niou always ordered him to go get a blanket; but it always ended up with Marui curling up to Niou anyway.

35. Fever

When Niou got sick, Marui had always refused to go within a five-meter radius of him; but now, he found himself snuggling into the warmth of the other, sighing.

42. Talk

Niou soon got tired of Marui's incessant whining and just hung up the phone, intent on stalking towards the other's house to shut him up.

41. Wait

Marui waited for Niou to come over and ravish him

6. Hurricane

The regulars exchanged knowing looks as Akaya asked why Marui and Niou's room looked like a hurricane had come through it.

17. Promise

"You promised me strawberry cake, Haru, not cherry!"

19. Candle

Marui always thought that candles set a romantic mood, but the fire currently burning his curtains down—courtesy of Niou—changed that thought.

18. Dream

Marui pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming when he saw Niou and Yagyuu kissing behind the clubhouse.

5. Run

Marui ran away, because he always knew that Niou would come chasing after him.

14. Music

Marui was sure that Niou was shouting after him, but the music reverberating in his ears drowned him out.

10. Drink

Niou learned not to spike Yagyuu's drink again.

26. Ice

"Come to offer me some ice after that burn?" asked Marui coolly as Niou turned him round to face him.

44. Hope

Niou kissed Marui desperately, because he knew that without the redhead in his life, he would never be the same.

37. Lies

The thing with Niou, Marui realized, was that you could never tell whether or not he was lying, because Niou was just too good of a liar for you to tell.

15. Silk

"Change those silk bedsheets, Haru, they'll get dirty."

9. Red

When Niou first met Marui, he had greeted the redhead with a, "Red looks good with silver, y'know," and a suggestive wiggle of his eyebrows.

34. Formal

Haru and Maru sounded so much better than Niou-san and Marui-san so they called each other that because they never cared much for formalities anyways.

33. World

Niou never understood those "there's no one else in the world for me" lines until he met Marui.

32. Farewells

The goodbyes they said after school weren't really goodbyes, since Niou would just drag Marui back over to his apartment anyways.

2. Hero

Marui never used the "My hero!" line until Niou beat up the old perverts who were coming on to him.

20. Talent

The only time Niou knew about Marui's singing talent was when the redhead showered.

47. Highway

Sometimes, Marui liked traffic jams, because it gave him an excuse to make out with Niou while they waited.

22. Journey

Niou grunted as he let Marui get on his back for a piggyback ride up the mountains.

24. Strength

"You're so strong, Haru!" commented Marui, smirking as he snuggled more onto Niou.

30. Body

"You're bloody heavy, Maru," complained Haru, letting go of the redhead as they reached their destination.

31. Sacred

"Hey, you can't just plop my very sacred and important tensai body down!"

11. Midnight

Midnight was always Niou's favorite time of the day, because it was one of those rare times when Marui would be quiet and snuggled up to him.

3. Memory

"It's to remember us by," insisted Marui, handing the picture they had just taken to Niou.

38. Forever

"Why would I need a silly picture when I have the real thing right here?" whispered Niou onto Marui's ear.

4. Box

Niou didn't like how it seemed so girly to keep his and Marui's keepsakes in a little box.

28. Forgotten

If it weren't for Akaya's constant whining reminders, Niou would have forgotten it was his and Marui's anniversary.

43. Search

"Hiroshi, help me find it, dammit!" cursed Niou as he looked around his messy room for the anniversary gift he was going to give to Marui, with Yagyuu just observing him.

45. Eclipse

"Who turned off the li—AHH!" Marui jumped as Niou pounced on him from behind.

39. Overwhelmed

'Overwhelmed' was the one word that could describe Marui's feelings as Niou bent down on one knee to propose.
