"Snapshot"

Drabble #1 - "Beginning"

Notes: This is meant to start off a set of fifty 100-word drabbles, which are a response to the Gravitation Drabble Meme at the LiveJournal community, tohma_love. Each drabble should both stand apart and work together into one larger 5k-word story. I will name each chapter after its corresponding prompt. (Let's see if I can actually keep it up!)


I need to get out of here. This room, this house, this life. This is your idea of what my life should be. Not mine.

"Time to wake up, Eiri-boy." Don't sit at the edge of my bed. Don't play with my hair. Don't try so hard. "I brought you coffee."

"And that's all." Damn you- don't touch my fingers.

I can't live here anymore, Tohma. I can't- "Not, it is not." Don't touch my leg! Don't lean so close. Don't pretend- "Your manuscript was accepted."

Damnit! That coffee burns! "Shit!"
