Hi, reader.

A long time ago, Tazzybizzy hosted a competition ('Curiosity Killed the Dork', which can be found on her profile), in which contestants had to write a 100-word drabble on the topic of their choice, so long as it was TMM-verse. It was a fun challenge, but difficult, and she had many entries. This was mine, and it was exactly 100 words in length. I particularly struggled, being so used to lengthy description, and wasn't pleased with the final result, but I'm still glad I participated.

Congratulations to the drabble that won: 'Baby Carrots' by eeveepuff.

Enjoy!

The Cupcake Thief

Written: November 2008.


It was too quiet, he mused, venturing downstairs, peering around the empty cafe.

He found her in the kitchen, poking around in Keiichirou's latest batch of creativity; a tray of delicately iced cupcakes. Leaning against the doorframe, he watched her, a smirk curling his lips and twinkling in his icy eyes.

"What are you doing?"

She squeaked, jumped, and whipped around, blushing furiously.

"N-nothing! I'm just going!"

She scurried past him, but he stopped her.

"Strawberry!"

She turned.

"You forgot something."

Their fingers brushed as she took the offered cupcake, and they shared a rare small smile... Then she was gone.

Fin.
