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 five of these, then post them.
A/N: All AkuRoku of course. I may have gotten a little enthusiastic and cheated, just a bit, because I couldn't just leave them as is, I had to make sure I finished each one properly. But you should be happy about that. ;D
Warning: Some gender bending! 8D
Pretty Rave Girl – Basshunter
It was her red hair that caught his eye first that night. When the flashing strobe lights lit it up like dancing flames – flames that swished around her face as she danced, wilting and sweat drenched. Strands caught to those thin, parted, cherry painted lips.
Roxas had whipped around when he saw the bright colour in his peripheral vision. Breathless he'd stared, frozen still as the bodies around him continued to dance; unaware of the perfection across the dance floor they were missing. She was gorgeous.
A tall, slender body swayed to the music, her short skirt swished around her thighs, and clung to her hips. A tight black singlet hugged her skinny form, breasts bare and bouncing under the thin material. Roxas began pushing protesting bodies aside as he moved through the crowds towards her.
I caught fire – The Used
"Never leave me," he mouthed against the skin of Roxas' neck, arms wound tightly around the petite boy's waist, "Promise me you'll never leave me." His neck ached as he stretched his head up to meet the expressive eyes of his beloved.
Roxas' lips quirked up slightly in a smile. A smile that didn't reach his eyes, for the blue depths gazing down at him were shining in subdued sorrow. "I can't promise you I'll never leave you Ax," thin fingers played in the soft strands of Axel's hair, "but I promise I'll always return to you."
Axel scowled at him before pushing his face into Roxas' chest, "Not good enough," he mumbled against the fabric of his shirt, "I don't want to ever be without you."
"Axel sit up." Roxas grunted, shoving non-to-delicately at his boyfriend trying to dislodge him slightly. Axel shot him a wounded look as he complied, sitting up between the short blondes legs, propping himself up by bracing his arms against the arm of the sofa. The fingers that had left his hair reached for his chin as Roxas leaned forward to press a chaste kiss against Axel's slightly chapped lips. He then whispered softly, not parting their lips just yet,
"Every beat of my heart is a beat for you."
Brick By Boring Brick - Paramore
A dirt stained white dressed swirled in the wind as the young princess ran through the field at the back of her castle. The soles of her bare feet were just as dirty as her dress. Blonde hair was dishevelled, unbound, spiking up where it was shorter, the wind whipping it into her eyes. She was an undignified mess and she didn't care, laughter bubbling from her rosy lips as she ran to the forest that was her safe haven from the strict life she was bound to.
Beneath the shadowy canopy, where the insects chirped and the birds sang, wandering along the hidden paths of the animals of the forest it felt magical, like anything could happen. She felt free. Free from her duties as princess, free to be herself. She was able to imagine another life, a life of adventure, and oh how she wished her life was like the fairy tales her maid used to read to her at night: strange creatures, and quests, princes and true loves kiss.
Bright blue eyes gazed around in wonder, taking in the sights of the world around. Flowers that bloomed in the brightest colours she'd ever seen. A small rabbit darted across her path, a rustling of leaves as it fled into the underbrush.
Brushing aside a bushy branch the princess began to make her way down a new trail. The crack of a twig breaking behind her made her freeze in her tracks. Hot breath fanned against her back, causing her to turn around slowly, eyes widened fearfully...
Sharp teeth were all she saw at first; a smirking wide mouth full of shiny, white, sharp teeth. Glittering malachite green eyes were above these teeth, the gleam in them just as dangerous- if not more- as the teeth, and just below the eyes were two strange dark tear-like markings.
A large red wolf sat on his haunches, wagging his bushy tail slowly as he watched her, his expression wicked, making a shiver run down her spine. The wolf's lips parted strangely, a low chuckle rumbled from his chest.
"Greetings princess," the wicked wolf purred.
Her story was starting now, and if the wolf had anything to say about it, hers wouldn't be anything like the fairy tales. This little princess wasn't going to get a happily ever after with a dashing young prince and true loves kiss. No, he had plans for this one.
Just a Boy – [Angus and Julia Stone *cover by a friend of a friend]
The sun was beginning to creep in through the barely parted curtains; those first soft rays of sunlight were golden against the bare skin of Roxas' back. Roxas who continued to sleep peacefully, naked and tangled up in his bed sheets, his hair soft, splayed out over his pillow, just a little drool dried up at the corner of his lips.
Axel leaned on his arms at the side of the bed, resting his chin on his forearms as he watched his friend dreaming. Light lashes fluttered as Roxas twitched in his sleep; the creases from the pillow marked one of Roxas' soft, round cheeks. Axel lifted a hand to brush some golden hair away from Roxas' eyes, tucking it behind the boy's pierced ear.
For now the youth's face was soft and relaxed in sleep, and Axel took the time to appreciate the fact. He was content to let Roxas doze on through the day – the longer he slept the longer Axel would have to try get his laptop fixed. The laptop he had accidentally knocked off the dining table this morning while making coffee. He knew all too soon that innocent face would be scrunched up in rage, all traces of peace gone. So yes, he was happy to leave his little blonde dreaming and oblivious.
I don't feel like dancing – Scissor Sisters
Axel was making a fool of himself – not that this was an unusual occurrence, at all. But really, who spontaneously breaks into dance in the middle of the park?
Part of the blame laid with Demyx: the fool who'd brought his portable iPod speakers with them to a picnic at the park. So now thanks to him Axel was flailing about in the middle of the park, seemingly oblivious to all the people who took one look at him and hurried on their way.
And- great. Now Demyx was over there with him. Joining him only encourages this ridiculous behaviour!
"Roxas, come dance with us!" called Demyx, grinning madly as he forcibly dragged Zexion up off the grass and into his arms, immediately twirling the shorter boy around in a spin. Roxas shook his head vigorously and began to slowly scoot backwards away from his friends. If Zexion had been dragged up to join the 'fun' he was definitely next.
Axel's sharp eyes caught his slow retreat and a wicked smile spread across his face as he sauntered over to Roxas, "Come on Roxy, don't be shy," he cooed, holding out a hand for Roxas, still giving him the option to come of his own free will, and retain some of his dignity.
Roxas shook his head again, glaring at the red-headed fool, "I don't feel like dancing, Ax." he muttered, continuing his backwards scoot. But for every inch he moved backwards Axel took a small step forward.
"No excuses Blondie. Get your ass up and dance with us, or you'll regret it."
"I'd regret dancing with you." Roxas muttered under his breath – but apparently not quietly enough, for Axel chuckled and propped his hands on his hips,
"Last chance."
"I'll pass."
"Too bad!" and with that Axel quickly bent over hauling a surprised Roxas up by the waist, throwing the shorter boy over his shoulder like he weighed nothing and made his way back over to Zexion and Demyx with a screaming shoulder-full of kicking blonde boy. He smacked Roxas' ass lightly, scolding with a smirk, "Stop kicking squirt, you'll only lodge the stick that's up your ass even further in."
"Keep your hands to yourself!" Roxas shrieked, thrashing about more, "And put me down!"
Axel laughed, lifting Roxas off his shoulder, still keeping his hands firmly clamped on Roxas' hips, lest he run off. He began to sway in time with the music, practically tossing Roxas about as he forced him to move too, the poor little blonde staggered about on his feet, barely about to stand up anymore.
"I won't put you down baby, but I'm willing to get down with you~"
