Notes: The final batch fic_promptly drabbles, but the last one is actually from porn_battle, and yet it doesn't have any porn. Har. Har.
the dawn, tales of the abyss, Jade/Guy, watching the dawn
The sun creeped out of the desert horizon to shine its personal flashlight over all of Chesedonia. Guy felt like the eye of some sort of god came opened to bring forth either judgment or a congratulations for taking on Van once and for all. From what he could see, the sky looked like a mixed shade of yellow, pink, and blue. The stars slowly, but surely ran away from the morning, but Guy couldn't run from morning, and Jade didn't.
The Colonel stood at the balcony fully dressed in his uniform, almost a shadow, but poised, dignified and one that not even the sun could swallow.
"You're up early, Jade," Guy groaned, wanting to pull the covers over himself, but decided not to.
Jade looked over his shoulder. "Of course. I am, after all, old enough to face the dawn."
Water, Luke, Tales of the Abyss, the summertime blues
Luke didn't even know what summertime blues meant until he found himself cooped in his room fanning himself with more hot air. Nothing worked to cool him down in the Von Fabre manor, and he couldn't leave.
"I feel like I've been shoved up someone's ass," Luke groaned to nobody. Even his servant, Guy, had the good sense to stay indoors. He didn't even feel like training today, so he was actually thankful that Van wasn't around on this nice, sweltering day.
He reached for a glass of water, only to find that the ice had melted and the cool water either evaporated or tasted too bitter to drink. "Gah. I have to get some more now...where's Guy when I need him?"
Then, his servant appeared at the window with his arms crossed and a smile across his handsome face. Guy held a glass of sparkling water full of ice. "Want some?"
"Oh! Yes! Yes! Yes!" Luke jumped from his bed and slammed into the window sill as the mirage faded. "Damn it! I hate the summer!"
Not Crystal, Jade/Guy, Science! Technobabble!
"My, my, that's an interesting Fon Crystal you have there, Guy." Jade commented while he paced back and forth, unable to keep his eyes of the crystal Guy held in his hands.
"Yes, it is," the younger man answered, almost entranced by his own creation. "I made it myself."
Jade stopped, his red eyes narrowing. "Did you now?" He frowned. "It doesn't look like any of the usual Fon Crystals though. Looks a bit grey." He stood close to Guy. "Which Fonon does it represent?"
Guy held up the stone. "This isn't a Fon Crystal." He threw it as far as he could, then cringed at the resulting explosion, pressing his hands against his ears. Birds flew from trees, nearby monsters fled, and Jade... merely raised his eyebrows and smiled that damnable smile.
"Allow me to guess... mercury fulminate? Tweaking the chemistry a bit there?"
Guy helplessly laughed. "Yea! Did I scare you?"
"Yes, very much." Jade answered, still smiling. "I might need some brown pants now."
"Sure, you do, sure." Guy shook his head before surveying the damage his 'crystal' caused. He hoped that the next one would really scare the shit out of Jade.
