Here's a brief-as-a-very-brief-thing piece of fluff for, you guessed it, another Tsukimineshrine challenge. This time it was a 90-minute challenge, 'Defend Your OTP'. I finished in thirty at most. As such, this is pretty pointless.
Disclaimer: Hah! Not likely.
Warnings: Just one. This contains a pairing so weird, not even CLAMP would think of it. But it's my OTP. That probably says something about me.
Dictation
"All right, now are you ready?"
"Not quite. Have you seen my pencil?"
"The one in your hair, or the other one?"
"Oh, that's where I put it! I'm sorry, Meiling-chan, I'm such a scatterbrain."
"You do realize you're telling me, the one and only girl ever to forget a first date because she was training, me, that you are a scatterbrain?"
"That wasn't scatterbrained, that was just...you."
"Wasn't that my point?"
"Oh, shush, silly, you know I love you for it."
"..."
"...Ah, Meiling-chan, if you keep kissing me I'll never get this written."
"And that would be a bad thing why?"
"Well, because then I'd never get anything published and become horribly depressed and end by slitting my wrists in the bathtub, all because you don't love me, Meiling-chan!"
"Have you been talking to Yamazaki again?"
"Noooo...well, maybe a little."
"I swear, you're getting more like him every day. At this rate, I'll start strangling you every time you open your mouth."
"But then I couldn't kiss you anymore!"
"Hmm. Maybe I'll modify that threat."
"At any rate, Meiling-chan, you were about to start telling me your bit of the story."
"Can't you leave that for later?"
"You're the last one! I've already talked to Li-kun, and Sakura-chan, and Tomoyo-chan, and Tsukishiro-san, and..."
"All right, all right. If it makes you happy, I'll talk."
"Ooooh, thank you, Meiling-chan!"
"...Now you're the one keeping us from talking. Glass houses, you know, Naoko-chan."
"Silly! Now sit down over there, in the green chair."
"But I like it here! Why can't I tell you from here? It's comfortable!"
"For one thing, I can't write with you leaning on my shoulder, and for another, I'm sure you know exactly how much writing I'll do if you don't move."
"Aw, you're horrible. I'm staying here to punish you for not being nice."
"Meiling-chan..."
"You didn't say the magic word!"
"Please, Meiling-chan, go and sit in the chair, because if you do not, I will either kill you or kiss you, and I'm not sure which is more likely right now."
"There! See what a little politeness can do?"
"Okay, now I'm all set. Start whenever you're ready."
"How should I start?"
"Start with 'Once upon a time,' like in a fairy tale."
"Isn't it really a fairy tale?"
"I don't think so. After all, in those stories no one but the prince and princess are allowed to fall in love. As a writer of conventional fantasy, I fear I'm destined for failure. So, if you'd begin..."
"All right, here goes. Once upon a time...Oh, and, Naoko-chan?"
"What now?"
"I do love you, you know, very much."
"...I know, Meiling-chan. I love you, too."
"Very much?"
"Very much."
"Once upon a time, there was a great magician named Clow Reed...
"And they all lived happily ever after."
"Ever...after...full stop."
