Blue

When he dreams of her, he dreams in blue.

The landscape, the sky, even the air - all of it is painted in cerulean and cobalt and turquoise. In his dreams, they're on that little patch of island in the ocean, stranded by circumstance and war and none too sure of each other. He loves the feeling of that, the feeling that everything is somehow new and strange. There are no politics on the island, no intended finances, no miles of stars between them. They're sitting by a small fire, saying nothing.

It's his best dream.

And when he wakes, the world looks cool and grey, and the blue of the sea from space is the only thing that soothes him.

The End.

Title: May I Suggest the Duck?
Series/Pairing: Gundam Wing, 1xR
Prompt: "I suggest you duck"
Requested by: adaon6
Notes: Why do I keep writing them from Duo's POV? Because I like making fun of Heero. :D


May I Suggest the Duck?

The restaurant was a classy affair, decked in red and gold with bright chandeliers and a pianist in one corner. The tall, glass doors were open, allowing access to the balconies where more well-dressed patrons sat, samplying the fine cuisine. Duo whistled softly.

"This is some place," he commented, pulling Relena's chair out for her. Not a guard's duty, but a friend's. Relena dimpled at him and sat down gracefully, adjusting her skirts.

"It's owned by one of Quatre's business contacts. I heard he spared no expense."

Duo raised his eyebrows and took a seat beside her, glancing at the gold lacquered menu in front of him. "Well then, we shouldn't waste their good taste. What should we have?" Beside him, Relena's head turned sharply to the left as their waiter approached.

"I suggest you duck."

Duo nodded thoughtfully. "You know, I've always wanted to try-" His voice cut off with a ragged grunt as an empty serving bowl smacked him in the side of the head, almost toppling his chair. Behind him, the waiter squeeked in surprise.

"Duo!" Relena was holding his arm. "Are you alright?"

"I'll let you know as soon as the room stops swimming, princess." He shook his head. "What was that?" The bowl was rattling around on the floor.

Relena sat back in her chair, trying to hide a smile. "I told you to duck. Heero's been suspicious about waiters lately. He keeps trying to test their reflexes. If they avoid his traps they of course must be assasins in disguise." She sighed. "The hospital bills are really racking up."

"I'll bet," he said dryly. He lifted his voice for the still hidden Heero. "Just for that, you're not getting any dessert!"

The End

Title: What You See (and What You Don't)
Series/Pairing: Spiral, Ayumu/Hiyono
Prompt: "sight"
Requested by: pengie
Notes: I really should read the manga. Watch out for wierdness. ♥


What You See (and What You Don't)

"Do those help Narumi-san see?"

Ayumu looked up, blinking, momentairly distracted from his book by Hiyono's question. It took him a second to realize she was referring to his glasses. "Of course they do, idiot."

Hiyono hummed lightly and bent down, still peering into his eyes as if trying to find something. His eyebrows drew together but before he could say anything, she tilted her head at him, her hair trailing over his arm.

"Is Narumi-san sure?"

Her voice was soft and low and, suddenly, he wasn't so sure.

The End

sonnie_skies your request is giving me dirty ideas so it's going to be in the next batch. (It's all Kankuro's fault, the smarmy bastard. XDXD)
