I seriously have no clue why I did this... -.-''' Well, I was supposed to be working on something for someone (you know who you are...) and I'm seriously stuck- I think this is what they call writer's block...
So I've been seeing these all over the place- the iPod shuffle challenge! :D Ta-da! Yeah. Well, I'm absolutely obsessed with my iPod- it's nearly impossible to pry it off me, so it's natural I'd want to do this, yes? (Fail. T_T)
So I did. Most of these are about 130+ words long. It's mostly just a way to seek inspiration! :D (Even bigger fail.)
Flan and M.M again. T.T Enjoy!
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.
1. Psycho Killer- Talking Heads
Flan's absolutely insane.
M.M knows this.
He has a tendency to ramble on about the most random things and show up on her doorstep at three-in-the-fucking-morning and get cravings like a pregnant woman. He tells her that he wants chocolate pudding and by the time she's made it he's changed the order to sushi with syrup. He scares her.
He knows that he's absolutely insane too, and doesn't hesitate to tell her that he knows she knows of this fact. In fact, he says, it's probably best if she doesn't spend time with him. Insanity is bad for the sane.
It's bad for the sane, but M.M doesn't mind being a little insane herself, if it means eating chocolate pudding with her frog at three in the morning.
2. Godspeed- Anberlin
She's not one for dreams.
M.M's head and feet are both firmly set on planet earth where they belong, and the only time she's ever indulged in the illusions is when she's with Mukuro, who is the biggest dreamer she knows.
Mukuro has dreams of a world that swims with the blood of those who have ignored him. M.M doesn't quite condone this dream, but she loves Mukuro.
But when the little frog shows her visions of amazing things, it's the only time she lets herself dream.
3. Alexithymia- Anberlin
The world is a bleak and dreary place before Mukuro Rokudo stumbles upon him.
Flan's used to having been sitting in an alley for the past three years since his parents died, and finds it amusing how no one bothers to look at him. He's a little shocked when someone does.
And then he's even more shocked, though he'd never show it, when he realizes that maybe some things are there to stay. M.M bothers with him. She bothers with him too much sometimes, but Flan enjoys being bothered over. She gives him an unusual sense of purpose that he's been lacking.
It's not at all where he'd thought he'd be in ten years, but he's mildly pleased with the results.
4. Missing- Evanescence
Flan is a ghost.
He's a ghost that fades in and out of M.M's life, and she doesn't care too much whether he's there or not. When he is, he is. When he's not. She doesn't miss him. She wonders when he'll be back to take her chocolate pudding, or if he'll be back at all.
She knows that he always will.
Until one day he doesn't.
M.M sits up at her kitchen table at all hours, sipping coffee which she's really not supposed to have because it will stain her teeth, and falls asleep over it.
It's almost a month later that he returns, and he's cut up and bleeding and he says in that tone "did you miss me?"-
-and she sobs and cries "I did, you stupid idiot, I did!"
5. Reclusion- Anberlin
Sins are difficult things to leave behind.
They both have their sins. Flan is a killer- it's a horrid, terrible thing to be, but it's his job and he does it well and hides it behind a mask of monotony- if he can't feel he can't hurt- and the reason that she fascinates him is this-
This lavish, this luxurious lifestyle she drowns herself in. She's rich and beautiful and in her head that justifies it.
It's for this reason that Flan decides he wants to know more about her and for this reason that she realizes that there is more behind the mask than Flan lets on, and that's when he lets her in, and they both realize that they've been missing something.
Love doesn't make it okay, but it makes it better.
6. Hungry Like The Wolf- Duran Duran
She finds his taste in music stranger than his taste in clothing (if only she knew) and Flan knows how much it annoys her, which is why he makes a habit of singing those songs whenever he can and annoying her just as much as he possibly can.
It's not until they're standing in the kitchen and trying to make dinner, because they've both heard that a meal cooked with love is the best meal, that she realizes exactly what he's singing. He's standing over the stove, humming and singing, his green hair all neatly tied back, and tossing sugar and spice on whatever he's making.
And he says in a rather nice singing voice, "Woman you want me, give me a sign~" and winks at her.
M.M flings the pudding at him and her face turns red, and he abandons whatever he's making and says "I'm going to take that as a sign."
They ended up going out for dinner, but his desert was excellent.
7. Brick by Boring Brick- Paramore
M.M, in her mind, is a beautiful princess who has everything in the world she could possibly want, and it's not that far off from the truth. She has money and she has clothes and she has a gorgeous apartment and she has legions of admirers who would go to the ends of the earth and back for her.
She's an empty shell of a princess, and there's only one thing she's never ever gotten, and that's the love of Mukuro Rokudo- but that's okay, she says. Mukuro is the prince of her story anyway. She doesn't need love.
Then she meets sarcastic, green-haired Flan, and she's immediately intrigued. He doesn't believe her when she says she's happy, and she doesn't bother to lie to him afterwards. Wealth versus love- wealth will always win.
It's Flan who shows her exactly what she's missing.
8. Hurricane Drunk- Florence + Machine
For someone who has it all, it's harder than she expects to win over a man's heart. She's used to her beauty alone being enough, and when she decides she'll make Flan fall for her, M.M's convinced that she's done it already.
It's much harder than she expects.
First comes that long hard stage when she's convinced that her task is an easy one. Then Flan one day in the midst of her flirtations says; "If you expect me to love you, you'll have to work harder than that."
She's left speechless.
Second comes her more earnest efforts. She tries to cook, and she fails, and she gives him silly trivial gifts, and Flan ignores her.
Third comes pain, and M.M locks herself in her room for days on end, until the only person who could make it better knocks on her door-
-and says; "Silly, you succeeded a long time ago."
9. Romance Is…- Lights
They are the people who were left behind and forgotten.
They're completely different, but at the same time, they're the same. M.M was a princess, the star of her world, and Flan was a homeless orphan, but they both end up in the same place time after time again.
He knows that life isn't fair, but she can't accept it; can't accept for all their differences- they are day and night- they will always end up together.
She tries to escape her destiny. She tries to drown it out with money and clothes and beauty.
But time after time, M.M returns to that same place, to Mukuro Rokudo and Flan and all that they represent.
She can't escape Flan's grip on her.
Most of the time, she doesn't want to.
10. Break Me Shake Me- Savage Garden
They say that there are five stages to grief. The same is true of love- M.M blows through them when Chrome speaks the truth she's been hiding- she is in love.
Denial- She insists that it's not true, that she is not in love.
Anger- she throws things at him, yells at him, tries to make him explain how he's done it, how he's caught her heart, and then comes-
Bargaining. She swears off Kokuyo. She swears off her favorite desserts, she swears off her designer clothes. She swears off everything there is to swear off, if she'll just fall out of love.
Depression- she locks herself in her room when bargaining fails, hiding from the reality, hiding from him-
And then she's catapulted into Acceptance, and unlocks her door, and gives herself over to reality.
I'm going to turn this into a one-shot series, mostly cause it's fun. :D So, yeah. You can leave requests and things, I guess, if you want me to do a specific pair. I might not do them, though, because I'm the most lazy person on the planet. Next is MukuChrome! YAYZERS. ._. Yup.
So, yeah. Mostly M.M. I think I was just in an M.M-ish mood. I spent an hour screaming at my friend over the phone... because I was asking if she thought Italians had tempers, and she WOULDN'T FREAKIN UNDERSTAND!... Eheh. Sorry, off-topic. But she was just so dumb...
Eh? Did you notice there were three songs by the band Anberlin? 0.o I don't even have that many of their songs!
I don't like the last one. Break Me Shake Me- UGH. I could have done a much better drabble for that! It's perfectly suited to Flan! It's about head games and stuff! Well... it fits pretty much any illusionist... Mukuro! o_o I really want to write about Mukuro...
I might do this again, it was fun. With Mukuro and Chrome. ^^ But... I so cheated on the last one... T^T It was only two minutes long!
I went back through after reading chapter 347... or whatever it was. I can't remember the chapter name. I guess it really is Flan, so I edited it.
REVIEW! Review so that Tsuna may (miraculously) gain the guts necessary to pummel the evil Spade dude into the ground...
...WITHOUT killing Mukuro-sama's body! D:
