Title: "Music Montage"

Prompt:

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble 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, then post them.

Rating: PG to PG-13

Characters: Raven/Malchior

Notes: Unlike some of the others, this one was a meme. I put the rules I had to follow and the song names that inspired the drabbles. Some (at least two) are connected but most aren't.

1. You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi

"It's not right," Raven hissed as he dropped kisses down her throat.

"No?" Malchior mumbled against her skin.

"No," she snarled back. "Who do you think you are!"

"At the moment? Your seducer." She felt him smirk against her collar bone. Smug bastard."You disgust me," she snapped.

"Then tell me to leave."

She couldn't. Even in the as he went on, she couldn't bring herself to stop him. "Bastard," she sniped.

"Love you too."

2. Somewhere Only We Know by Keane

She sat down next to him at the bar. "It's been awhile," Malchior comments in lieu of a proper greeting. She's not terribly shocked.

"There's a good reason for that."

"Oh?"

"I hated you," she explained, crossing her legs and ordering a drink in one smooth movement.

He raised a brow at her. "Hated? That's past tense, darling."

"I know," she answered, looking him dead in the eyes.

"The world must be ending," he whispers to himself.

"Maybe," she agreed, taking a drink from her new arrived gin and tonic. "You went quiet for while there. Went underground?"

"Maybe," he smiles. "I missed you."

"...I know."

3. Ticks by Brad Paisley

"When did you get the tattoo by the way?" he asked. She tugs the hem of her sweatshirt down sharply to cover the blackbird on her lumbar region. "Touchy, aren't we?"

"Hush, I don't have to put up with you," she snapped. Malchior has the audacity to laugh at her but decided to pursue his drink instead of bothering her. "...It was a birthday present."

"Oh? Which birthday?"

She frowns at that charming smile. "19." she gets up to leave. "I have to go."

"Mmm, too bad," he hums. "I wanted to see more of it."

She stalls. "You mean more of me."

"That too," he grins.

She blushes and scowls. "Finish your drink."

He laughs again.

4. Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch

This was harder than she thought. She hesitated before opening the chest, sitting the book aside to brush out a few cobwebs. Then she scowled as she realized she was cleaning out only for his comfort. Even still he held sway over her. Raven glare softened as she gazed at the book.

The book. "I wish I never found you," she whispered, testing to see if the sentiment rang true. It felt hollow.

She grabbed the book, knowing if she didn't now, then she would never get rid of him. Carefully, reverently, she placed him in the center of the chest, running a finger along the edge before pulling away. She drew back hurriedly but paused again before reaching up to shut the chest.

"I wish I never found you."

She felt empty.

5. Where Do You Go? by No Mercy

"Leaving? So soon?" Malchior's voice halts her movement and she freezes, shoes in hand, cloak in the other.

"...yes," she admits, not turning back lest she end up back in his bed.

"Shame," he comments, sitting up. "Is there a problem?"

Oh, there's plenty of problems. Most involving me spending the night.Again, adds a gleeful voice in the back of her head. She wishes she could squash it out.

"There's trouble downtown," she explains, holding up her communicator like an excuse. "They need me."

"Mmm, well, I can understand that," he make her blush even now, amazingly enough. "Go on then."

"I'll come back," she tries. It's true, in a way, but then it's a lie too.

He gives a content sigh as he falls back into the pillows. "I know."

"Tonight maybe."

"Darling," he starts, clipping her words off, "we both know you never stay till morning. Go, now. Come back tomorrow night."

"...I'm sorry." What is she doing apologizing to him? He's a wanted criminal and she's apologizing. To him. But then, it's the truth, and that's terrifying.

She can almost hear him smile. "I know, come back later."

5. Architects by Tommy Lee

Raven's eyes go wide as he walks in. His changed for sure; the long hair is chopped off to his chin, the scarf is gone, and across and down his back is a canvas of tattoos. When Malchior walks over, his lips quirk upward at her shock. "Something wrong, love?" he asks as he sits down next to her. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you weren't happy to see me."

"HOW THE HE-" she bites her tongue, looking around to see if she's drawn any attention to her. It's all on him though. "Damn you."

6. Live To Tell by Madonna

Next to her hip, Raven ran her hand over his hair. Her eyes were distant as she brushed it out of his face. "I'm almost sorry," she told him.

He didn't respond.

"Figures," she muttered. "No one listens, do they?"

She rested back against the headboard. Around them, his organized mess of a room tosses shadows against the walls and Raven pretends to see a dragon and knight fighting.

"You didn't either," she tells the shadows. She glances down at the handful of green hair she's fisted into her hand. "But him especially," she confides to the shadow.

She finally gets up off the bed, leaving him grasping until he found his pillow to satisfy his urge to cuddle as she went to shadows on the wall. "You lied," she accused them.

The dragon is grinning at her. "I'm almost sorry."

She wondered if he was.

7. Sunday Morning by Maroon 5

She stretched luxuriously while he watched in amusement. "What are you looking at?"

His lips quirked up. "Something I want."

She blushed but moves closer. "Pervert," she accused him, letting him draw her into his embrace.

"Someone tell you different?" he chuckled into her shoulder before kissing the skin there.

She sighed, content. He half hummed and she dozed. "I should go soon."

"Can it wait till after lunch?"

"You making something?" she shot back, amused.

"Anything. Everything." he smiled. "Ask."

"Something perfect."

"Consider it done."

8. The New Wild West by Jewel

She frowned as he sat down in the passenger seat. "Are you sure about this?"

"There's nothing here for us, love." Malchior's stopped pulling his punch and even eased off the lies since the Incident. "We need to go."

"I need to go," she argued but started the car. "You could stay."

"I could," he agreed as they drove. "I could let you go, not take the chance."

"Every man for himself," she muttered.

He smirked. "Still is," he reminded her, tugging her hand from the steering wheel to hold it in his own. "We're just going the same way."

"For now."

"For now," he agreed.

She's chilled and warmed in equal turns as they leave what remains of Jump.

9. Back At Your Door by Maroon 5

"I'm crazy," Raven whispered as he eased her down.

"Insane, surely," he agreed, mirth coloring his voice.

"Don't be a bastard," she growls into his neck.

He hummed and she can feel the vibration in her teeth. "That's a tall order," he chuckles and in spite of herself she smiled.

"I'm still crazy," she sighed.

"Aren't we all?" he shot back then made her arch.

"I keep coming here," she tried, almost out of breath. "It's not sane. Or fair for that matter."

"Fair!" he laughed. "You're the one who isn't fair."

"What's that mean?"

He only smiled but she knew what he meant.

"You are too."

10. Before I'm Dead by Kidneytheieves

He pulled on his jacket and looked to her. "You might want to cover that up."

"Cover what u-" She pauses as she glimpsed herself in the mirror, moonlight shining across her throat. She scowled, pulling her collar up higher. "When did you do that?"

He grinned. "A bit ago. I'm magic," he explained. She rolled her eyes, standing and then leading him out the building to her car by hand.

"We have to hurry," she reminded him, sliding into the driver's seat.

"I know." He sat down next to her. He smiled to her. "Think they'll be surprised?"

She smirked. "You have no idea."
