A/N: What has been going on with FF net lately? I couldn't even sign in this week!
Sorry for the delay; here's the next drabble. :)
I really couldn't help it with this one; cliche galore. But everyone loves a good cliche every now and then, admit it. Why else are you reading this collection? ;P
Ships: ConflictingShipping.
Kayak
noun. a small canoe with a covering that fits around the canoeist's waist
(AU.)
"Look," Blue said, "I didn't ask to be paired with you, either. But since we're stuck together, you may as well help."
Leaf ignored him – and the oar she was supposed to be paddling.
"I want out." She stood abruptly, rocking the canoe. "I'll swim back to shore."
"Leaf!" Blue shot up, too, reaching for her as the tiny boat tipped.
Cold water shocked her to the core, and suddenly she was spluttering, Blue's arm snugly round her waist, holding her close; keeping her above water.
A/N: Such a hero... sigh. I imagined it to be taking place maybe on a summer camp, or - being the lit studies major I am, obsessed with periodic literature - in the late 18th century (except for the language, obviously; that would need to be floral), with Leaf in a pastel frock and a bonnet and Blue all dashing in a waistcoat. X3
Also, I was kind of going for the 'small boat with oars' thing, not the literal kayak. But it had to be alphabetical, so yeah. Inconsistency ftw.
