Here's the first chapter for the One-Word Stories. Thank-you to those who sent in some reviews. I was actually kind of shocked that I got at least four. Well, I hope you guys enjoy your stories =)
Word: Kaboom
Pairing: FueryxOC
Username: Wrathlover
Bright flashes covered the entire night sky, illuminating the dark world below with it's colourful bursts, and amazing bystanders with the star-shaped displays. The fireworks continued on, causing many to cheer in enjoyment. Small children threw their hands into the air, yelling out "kaboom" with each loud bang that echoed around them.
Among the groups of people, two young adults stood together. Above them, the noises and lights continued, while around them people cheered and hollered. The young couple were ignored, as well as the actions they were performing. Those two, however, would never forget about the innocent kiss that they both shared under those very fireworks.
Word: Scars
Pairing: Royai
Username: Rei
No one knew how far back that Colonel and First Lieutenant had known each other, or how deep the thoughts they had about each other were. Others couldn't see the emotions running deep caused by the memories that the two shared with each other. With those memories came the remembrance of the beginning of each scar that they had grown over the years. Whether those markings were physical, or emotional, they were there; they haunted them. Those memories brought pain in the remembrance. It brought regret, and guilt that they just couldn't wash away.
Though they both despised the torturous marks that the other had to bear, regretted giving or allowing the other to receive them, they couldn't fight the fact that those scars brought them together.
Word: Eternity
Pairing: Not Specified
Username: RenofAmestris
To live forever was secretly a form of torture Van Hoenheim had found out. Why would one wish to live for the rest of time when they would have to deal with watching all of their loved ones slowly die off? Why would one wish to see what was to come in person when the future may not be so bright? Why would one wish to live for eternity when you had to deal with the guilt of watching people die just so you could achieve immortal life?
Word: Predict
Pairing: ScarxLust (First Anime)
Username: NebulaCoyote
It wasn't right. That woman was his brother's; he wasn't supposed to feel the way he did whenever he spotted her among the crowd. He wasn't supposed to experience the racing heartbeat whenever his eyes locked with hers. It felt horrible, like he was betraying his own brother by feeling those things. Even at her death, he was devastated, and yet he couldn't help but feel relieved that that woman wouldn't plague him with those emotions anymore.
No one could predict that she would arise once more, and with that new life, those old emotions arose anew. The first moment he saw her, in that new form, as that new person, he couldn't stop the old well-known beat that his heart performed.
Nor could anyone predict that that haunting woman's heart would do the same.
Well, that's all for now. As you can see, if you don't specify a pairing or anything, then I will just jot down whatever comes to mind. I did Hoenheim for the word Eternity because, well, I like Hoenheim, and I really wanna give that guy a hug.
By the way, does Lust have a heart in the first anime? ^^;;; For the life of me, I just couldn't remember, or at least don't know. If not, well... For that short fic, she does!
As you can also see, these one-shots are pretty short. There may be some that'll be pretty long, but otherwise the point is to keep it short and sweet. It's just a short scenario to form from that one word.
Review guys if you want your one-shot ;)
