Occasionally
As the summary says, this is a series of Yzak/Shiho drabbles. To readers of Partially Awake, I'm still working on the next chapter so writing these drabbles will have little to no effect on me working on the story. Just more Yzak/Shiho fics to the people. :)
Title: Lacus
Genre: Fluff
Word count: 478
Summary: Yzak
now knew the true meaning of humiliation.
Notes: Written for a drabble challenge but unfortunately I couldn't enter because I went over the word limit.
"Lacus Clyne?"
Yzak stopped right in his tracks and could practically feel all the color disappearing from his face. He turned around to face her slowly, very slowly. It was impossible, unbelievable, she couldn't have...
Oh yes, she could.
Shiho stood there, an expression of confusion and amusement on her face and a Lacus Clyne CD in her hand.
Yzak swallowed. He should have never let his things out sight long enough for her to unpack them before he did. Agreeing to him and Shiho moving in together was yet another thing he should not have let happened. In fact, because of the current event he was not only starting to regret him and Shiho becoming a couple, but also regretting the fact that he had been born and lived long enough to experience this day and moment.
"You have a Lacus Clyne CD?" she asked almost in disbelief.
Without waiting for an answer she opened the disc case and took out the CD.
"There are a lot of scratches so it's been played a lot," she said, holding it up and studying it carefully.
"It was already like that when I bought it!" Yzak retorted defensively, attempting to save the little that was left of his dignity.
"So you admit that you bought it?"
Yzak now knew the true meaning of humiliation.
Color made a full-blown comeback to his face. Avoiding Shiho's eyes and very amused grin he stepped over the piles of unpacked boxes and the general disarray of their apartment until he found the one box he was looking for. It was marked "CDs and DVDs", written in Shiho's handwriting. He tore the box open.
"W..what are you doing?" Shiho stuttered, all signs of being amused clearly gone.
"Looking through your stuff to see what kind of lame music you have," Yzak muttered and searched the box frantically.
"No, don't do that!" Shiho called out, crossing the distance between them. She came up to him from behind and grabbed his shoulders in an attempt to drag him away from the box. "Yzak, I'll do whatever you want, just don't..."
Her words stopped as Yzak's entire body suddenly tensed. Neither of them said anything as he slowly pulled out a disc case. Eyes wide as if he could not believe what he was seeing, it took a few seconds for him to react to his finding and the only thing that he could do was to whisper two words.
"Lacus... Clyne?"
He looked over his shoulder and at her for some sort of confirmation. But he only saw her flushed face for a moment before she buried it in the nape of his neck, clearly embarrassed by the whole ordeal. Yzak opened the disc case and took a closer look at the CD.
Like his copy, hers had been played often, with scratches and all.
