Rules:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a ficlet 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, and then post them.
A/N: Well, I wasn't planning on doing these, but I finally just gave in. Honestly, I was surprised by the concentration of Aly & AJ songs that came up in the lineup, since my iPod picked songs I haven't been listening to recently…And just a warning, I think that these are kind of choppy, due to the fact that I only had so long to work on them, and I generally spend a lot longer on things like this, but overall, they're okay. I may actually end up doing more of these, too…Don't forget to leave a review!
This Ordinary Life – Matthew West
Beka's life was anything but ordinary in many ways, but she always played it safe. She was the foster daughter of the Lord Provost, the Dog known as the Elkhound, and she never took the risks that Aniki and Kora took. She had always said that she wasn't one to take risks for a relationship, but Rosto, Rosto, she had to wonder about. She got the feeling that he would turn her life upside down if he got half a chance with her. Her life would be far more than ordinary, then.
Like It or Leave It – Aly & AJ
When she had told Rosto that she needed to think about their relationship for a few days, he had balked. From experience, he knew that that was generally how it went right before he ended up getting kicked to the curb. The resulting argument hadn't been pretty. Their yelling had brought a huge crowd of neighbors to see what the ruckus was about. Rosto had thrown up his hands and stomped upstairs, furious.
Three days later, their housemates found them kissing in the kitchen. They were certainly an interesting couple…
Starts With Goodbye – Carrie Underwood
It had utterly shocked everyone, Rosto included, when Beka had broken off their relationship. It had hurt her as much as it had him, and Beka didn't even know if she had even wanted to do that. They had been together so long that she couldn't see herself without seeing Rosto there with her. It hurt even more when Rosto told her that he had had mots before her, but there would be none after her. He really had loved her.
The One I'm Waiting For – Relient K
She saw his head turn when there were other mots around. For some reason, Beka did not like that at all, despite the fact that she had made it abundantly clear that she wasn't interested. Then he turned his dark eyes on her and she felt her heart melt just as it had nearly every time he turned his warm sable gaze on her these days. The look he gave her told her that he would wait for her, no matter how long it took. She was the one he was willing to wait for.
Potential Breakup Song – Aly & AJ
Sometimes, Beka wondered why it was that Rosto acted so absent-minded. Then he forgot her birthday. Completely forgot. That was the final straw. She had blown up at him. If he wanted their relationship to work, he had to put more effort into it. When that made no difference and they weren't able to have a civil conversation, she had walked out. Rosto had instantly regretted it. He tried everything to make it up to her, but nothing worked. Beka was furious with him, and now he had to win her back with all the charm and wit he had won her with. Then he just had admitted he messed up, and she had forgiven him…
Love Being Loved By You – Rebecca St. James
Life with Rosto was one thing that Beka really did enjoy. The sweetness of his kisses, the wicked grin on his face when he was up to something, the warm twinkle in his eyes – all of that made living in the same building a very interesting experience. He loved her as she loved him, and Beka was just beginning to see that she could no longer live without that love. That was something that was worth it. She loved that he loved her. It was as simple as that.
Lost – Red
It had only been a dream. But it had been a good dream. Once again, he was lost in the mystery that surrounded Beka Cooper. Her blue eyes were so easy for him to lose himself to, the way they radiated what she felt, or hid from him the look he wanted so badly to see. He was drawn to her more than any other mot he had ever met. He could never look away from her gaze when it was the right time to. He only wished it was the same for her, that she was as drawn to him as he was to her. Everywhere he turned, it was like she was there, whether it she was, or it was just in his head, there wasn't anything that Rosto would do to change it. Losing himself to those eyes was something he liked. Sometimes he felt like he would be lost forever if she never responded to his feelings in the like.
Gave It All Away – Red
Beka was hurting. She had gotten into a relationship with a fellow Dog, and it had ended badly. The bruise on her cheek told everyone around her that much. In the following weeks, her screams woke everyone else in the house. Nightmare after nightmare left her frightened and made her aching heart worse. She was finally beginning to see that it wasn't what a person was that made them who they were, that she shouldn't have judged Rosto just because he was a rusher. He could be a good man and a rusher at the same time, just as her last cove had been a Dog and a horrible person at the same time. In a way, he had chased her right into Rosto's arms, where she was gladly accepted.
Chemicals React – Aly & AJ
Something about Rosto always made her feel shy and a little uncomfortable, like she was completely out of her element when she was sitting in her own room eating breakfast with him and the others. All of his confidence, the easy grace he possessed, his spellbinding black eyes, everything about him made her want to be with him. Even if it was so wrong, somehow, Beka knew that she was meant to spend her life with this man, for all that she was so resistant at first...
This Is Your Life – Switchfoot
Their lives went by in such a blur. Every day, Rosto would watch and wonder, talk and think. Sometimes he wondered if he was content with his life as the Rogue. Was it really what he wanted? Of course it was, he scoffed in his head. He was young; he had his chance now, while he could risk it all and lose nothing. Or risk everything with the young Lady Dog and come out with nothing. He could be content with that.
When she walked down the street, sometimes Beka would question all she had done with her life. Lady Teodorie had offered her a good position as a lady's maid, and she had turned her down. When Beka walked into the Dancing Dove and took one glance at her friends gathered around Rosto's throne, she was sure. This was her life, and it was exactly what she wanted it to be.
