I have been corrected -bows to Blue Film- Drabbles are 100 word stories. Most of these go well over 100. So they're not drabbles -swetadrop- No problem. I am officially calling these short scenes 'Snipets!' So on to the snipet!

Warnings: Fluff. No shounen-ai

Enjoy!


Dragon Knight Drabbles: Fortunetelling


Every time he looked at her, she blushed.

Delte couldn't help it. There was something so entrancing about his bright, earnest hazel green eyes. A liveliness and joy, infinite care and sensitivity that shone in them in endless depths. She would find herself staring back in them before realizing what she was doing and turning away embarrassedly. He only laughed quietly and went back to whatever he'd been doing at the moment.

It was this train of thought that was keeping her from focusing on the book in her hands, as she lay curled up in bed, attempting to read by the waning light of the sunset.

There was a knock on the door, and despite its softness, the curly-haired faerie jumped, startled. Hurriedly leaving her book splayed on the covers and scrambling to the door as she smoothed her dress, she finally opened the door, only to find Thatz standing in front of her.

"Hey," the amiable smile froze her in her tracks.

"Hi," she managed to respond without stuttering, though she was sure she'd come close.

"I was wondering if you could do me a favor…" Thatz leaned on her doorframe, indolently smiling and melting her where she stood, a mere foot away from him.

"Of course!" she said immediately, "What do you need?"

"Well, I need you to come with me for a moment…" he explained vaguely, and without waiting for her answer, took her hands and pulled her out. She followed without question, but her gaze strayed to their interlocked hands and she felt an irrepressible blush streak across her face.

"Sunset's pretty, isn't it?" he motioned to the almost-gone orb of light as they stepped outside into the courtyard. She brushed a strand of light pink hair from her face, and nodded.

Thatz smiled gently and walked on, signaling for her to follow into the gardens. The fresh, airy perfume of flowers made her take a deep breath, then look at the earth knight in front of her. She smiled lightly, feeling at peace in the gentle twilight atmosphere, "So what did you need?"

"Well, I needed some help reading my fortune…" there was a flicker of something in his eyes, mischief, or… nervousness? She couldn't tell.

"Oh! Then I need to go get my cards!" she exclaimed.

He caught her arm as she was about to swirl around and head back to the castle. He watched her clear green eyes for a moment, then grinned again, "Nah, you don't need cards to answer my question."

"Oh… Oh!" her eyes widened as she suddenly found herself being held gently but firmly in his arms, a lean hand lifting her face up.

"What do you think my chances are with a certain faerie fortuneteller?" he murmured, holding her gaze intensely. The light-haired faerie was too shocked to do anything more than stare breathlessly at him, feeling her pulse quickening and her face heating up.

"Do you think if I kissed her she'd kiss me back?" he smiled softly.

She nodded.

So he kissed her.


Aw... personally, I love Delte. And I can so see Thatz with her. I also like Thatz/Kitchel though, so don't worry bout that... and I like Delte/Tetheus, though there's no basis for that in the manga, that's just something i'm playing with in one of my fics. And Tetheus/Kitchel. Lol.

Responses:

Blue Film: thanks for the correction. I didn't know there was a technical name to them. And I know you mentioned 'flashfic' but I like calling them snipets (since I don't think that's already a technical name, is it?) -laughs- everyone seemed to like my tetheus/kaistern snipet. I'll definitely write more of them, they're an awesome couple. And Alfeegi Ruwalk I'll have some eventually too.

Aquajogger: My computer woudln't show the last two reviews, but I wanted to update then anyway, so sorry about not responding! I love your imagery in your writing, it's soo pretty. I like Tintlet and Delte as funny or sweet. The way I see them, anyway... I'll have more with Tintlet soon too. I bought book 18 Can't wait til Gil comes back though!

Dragoness Fei: Really? You liked that? I thought there wasn't nearly enough fluff or anything... On book 18 there's officially a 'Everybody Pick on the Elf Day'!

Capella: You know my last name is Copello? and ppl often mispell it Capella? I found that amusing. Either your term is spreading or I think I've heard it before. I think I have. But in any case, it's the coolest word! oh, I'll check out your fic when I can too! Once again, I'm surprised the Gillaam went over so well, since it really wasn't that much... I'm prouder of my comfort in the snow fluff scenes. lol. I might do some angst orientedsnipets later though. And i'll do some of those pairings sometime too. OOH OOOH And the bated breath thing? Mu orchestra teachers said that and I yelled out in the middle of class "HEY! I heard that the other day!" well, read, but I didn't wanna go explain myself. He just stared at me.

Crazy meowmeow: Well, Gil DID like fish. And now he does again, lol.

Puppy: That's what I like about drabbles/snipets/etc. That they're short but sweet.

Kage Ohkami: RAWKS MY SAWKS! I squealed when I saw that. That's SO COOL!

Eikou: I tend to use a good bit of suspense with humor. Not always, but it's great with these snipets.

ANYWAY!

If any of you really liked the Gillaam, you're welcome to check out my Gillaam fic 'Comfort in the Snow' It's really angsty and really fluffy and doesn't have Ram and Gil making out by the middle of the first chapter. -laughs- someone once made a comment on that.

If anyone likes Thatz/Delte, Tetheus/Kitchel, Rath/Kaistern, kaistern/tetheus friendship, lots of Alfeegi/Ruwalk, and anything with Rath when he was little, check out Bittersweet Sword. Angst and romance too.

Kitchel/Thatz, Delte/Tetheus, Rath/Cesia and Alfeegi/Ruwalk and hinted Rune/Tintlet, then check out Possessed by a Memory. Oh, and I accidentally put some Kaistern/rath hints in that one, but Rath's with Cesia, lol.

That's my self-advertising, since lots of you are asking about pairings and where to find them, and stuff, so I'm giving you some of mine. tata, hope you enjoyed the snipet!
