Pairing/Character/s: Yuki/Machi
Word Count: 212 words
Summary: Yuki gives Machi a ticket to his play.
A/N: This was so easy and fun to write (Don't you love these kind of drabbles?), so it's my super-late holiday present. I love writing crazy fan girl dialogue and this is all Yuki/Machi random fluff. Yuki's play probably doesn't even have tickets, it's probably come in and sit down without tickets, so this entire storyline with the play is all in my imagination. Now read.
There's a moment of hesitation before Yuki holds out the ticket to Machi. He watches her face very carefully; he's become very skilled in decoding her emotions.
"It's a ticket. To my play. Tonight. Can you come?"
The babble coming from his mouth actually makes her more curious. "What part are you playing?"
It's a question anyone could ask but he tenses up.
"You don't have to answer-"
"I'm the... fairy godmother."
She smiles. She actually smiles, her lips curved at the ends-
Then it's gone, as she stares at the stack of stage props in her arms. "I'm going to be really busy."
"Then, take the ticket. Just in case you're free. I hope you have time to come to the play." Yuki doesn't know why he's so agitated. He doesn't especially want Machi to see him dressed as a fairy godmother.
Machi juggles the props onto her right arm. "OK, if President is asking." Now the smile on his face freezes.
"Wait-"
"A ticket to President's play! The sold out play!"
"The last ticket; it must be fate!"
"Where?!" The stampede starts a domino effect.
Yuki feels the stares of dozens of fangirls behind him, and sees Machi's mouth open in horror before he's crushed beneath Machi's feet.
"President?!"
Disclaimer: Yuki was not injured during this drabble. The fangirls scrambled to get off him. This was only imagined because I take sadistic pleasure in seeing Yuki crushed by his legion of fans.
