Anthology of Love
By: CrystallicSky
Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, or any of the characters in it, so...don't say I didn't tell you that they weren't.
Warning(s): Ok, cursing, malexmale relationship, strong references to sex, but no actual sex scenes, and...probably general stupidity, corniness, or idiocy aside from that.
Notes: Well, lately I've been seeing a good deal of those one-word prompts for short/one-sentence stories, and so I figured I'd give it a try. I did a few, and found something out about myself: I really like them! XD So this would be the result.

61. Index Card-
"...Why did you label this 'index card' in red Sharpie?"
Jack scoffed at what he deemed a stupid question. "Duh, Chase! Maybe because it is one?"
62. Paper-
Jack never would have guessed how skillful in origami his lover was without seeing it himself, the ease with which a small piece of paper could be transformed into something delicate and beautiful in those powerful hands.
63. People-
If there was only one thing he had in common with his lover, Jack thought, looking with annoyance and distaste at the couple making out (if it could still be considered something so tame) in the middle of the hallway, severely blocking the flow of traffic, it was that he hated people.
64. Goal-
Jack had thought Chase's only goal in life was to cause him misery.
Now, though, lying in the man's bed with an arm curled tightly around his waist, he realized he had only been teasing him, heightening his fervor and desire so that when he finally told him 'yes'...
Well, frankly, the sex had been amazing.
65. Guns-
Chase didn't know just who had dared to gun down his beloved (thankfully alive and well), but he was the leader of the Heylin street gang: they would not be getting away with it.
66. Germs-
"I mean, sure," the common cold germ, Jack, preached to his viral lover, "you took out over two-thirds of Europe's population in your hey-day, and I haven't killed anyone, but there's not a cure for me yet, is there?"
67. Steel-
It never ceased to amaze him, the sheer number of things his young lover could create with steel.
68. Quadrilateral-
"Yeah? Well, your mom's quadrilateral!"
Chase put a hand on his forehead at Jack's comeback, groaning as the friend he'd been speaking to gasped in horror, demanding, "You take that back!"
Foolish nerd fights...
69. Bruise-
Chase growled as he examined the large bruise on his mate's cheek, previously concealed by makeup.
Forcing the dodgy red eyes to meet his stern golden gaze, he practically hissed, "Who did this to you?"
70. Cauliflower-
"Come again?" Chase asked, positive he had heard wrong.
"They look like little white trees," Jack repeated, "I just can't eat them because it would be weird to me."

A/N:
Index Card- I actually have an index card with that written on it, and as ironic as it is, I've been having people write the words I use for this on it. XD
Paper- No comment.
People- I, personally, announce my hate of people aloud at least once daily. /./
Goal- No comment.
Guns- This one, Germs, and Steel actually came from a movie we had to watch in World Studies of the same title theorized by Jared Diamond who determined that the key to a civilization being powerful is whoever got the best guns, germs, and steel first, and apparently, one of my friends couldn't resist the reference. XD
Germs- Yay Osmosis Jones inspiration! :D
Steel- No comment.
Quadrilateral- I would say something like this to somebody. ^^;
Bruise- Protective-Chase is mweeful! :3
Cauliflower- …they do, though… /./ But, that's all I really have to say here, so...new chapter will probably be up later tonight(2/7/08).
