Even more drabbles!
This is a continuation of this challenge to myself.

Pairing: Oishi/Eiji
Prompt: strawberries

Oishi never bit his fingernails. It just wasn't something he'd ever felt compelled to do, especially since he had a file on his pocket knife. But he now his his right thumbnail between his teeth, worrying away at it as he watched Eiji have dessert. Oishi had also never wanted to be a strawberry, but today was a day for odd things, it seemed. Eiji was enjoying getting every bit of chocolate off of the chocolate-covered strawberry that had topped his parfait. To make matters worse, he kept dipping it back in the parfait to get more things to lick off of it. Oishi had bitten off every bit of the former protrusion of his fingernail by the time Eiji got around to actually wrapping his lips around the large strawberry and taking a delicate nibble. By the time he'd finished his parfait, Oishi had finished one hand. He looked down at his nails, grimaced, and decided that next time, whether or not he was hungry, he should get something to eat, too.


Pairing: Kawamura/Jin
Prompt: cherries

"Jin-san, can I get you anything else?" Kawamura put the finishing touches on the sushi he was making.

Having just finished off a large order of sushi by himself, Akutsu raised an eyebrow, but smiled. "Something with cherries."

Kawamura looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, "I'll be right back." He went into the kitchen and looked in the refridgerator. Ah, there it was. He grabbed a jar of maraschino cherries and a small package of powdered sugar and brought them back out to the perparation area. He mixed the sugar in with the cherries until they were well coated and rolled them with rice. He sprinkled more sugar on the tops and served them to Jin.

Jin looked at them cautiously, lifted one to his mouth, and took a bite. He smiled briefly. "You're getting better."

Kawamura beamed and began to clean up the mess he'd made.


Pairing: Tezuka/Ryoma
Prompt: quantum physics

Ryoma sat at the checkout desk at the library. It was his turn, after all. He tapped his pencil against his notebook, trying to get in a little bit of homework when Tezuka walked up with a book in hand. "Buchou..."

"Ah, Echizen. I need to check this book out."

His eyebrows furrowing, Ryoma took the book from Tezuka. "Quantum Physics?"

Tezuka nodded brusquely. "Yes. It's what we're studying right now."

Ryoma's eyes widened. He wasn't sure he wanted to go become a third year anymore. But he did the paperwork and passed the book back to Tezuka. "There you go, buchou."

"Echizen..." Tezuka looked at him closely for a moment. "When we're not at club, you can call me Tezuka, at least."

Ryoma blushed and looked down at his pencil. "Okay, buchou."

Tezuka smiled and left the library with his book in hand. When he got into the hallways, he handed the book over to Inui. "There. Now, don't go over your lending limit again. Just look in your room and find that botany book and return it so you can get your books yourself."

Inui frowned. "Tezuka... That's almost mean."

Tezuka walked away, but glanced back at the library to see Ryoma tapping his pencil against his notebook again. He smiled.


Pairing: Hikaru/Akira
Prompt: glasses

Hikaru looked over at where Akira was sitting and, of all things, polishing Ogata's glasses. They were talking, but they were too quiet and too far away for Hikaru no hear. He was sorely tempted to abandon his game for a moment in order to get closer, but his opponent kept making strange moves that didn't quite fit in with the flow of the game and he wasn't sure he'd catch the newest move when he came back. Akira gave Ogata back him glasses, bowed to him, and walked away quickly. Hikaru was curious, but glad to see his friend getting away from the creepy guy. Later, when Hikaru confronted Akira, he found some of his worst fears founded. "Why were you cleaning Ogata's glasses?"

Akira seethed silently for a moment. "Because I got them dirty."

"How?"

"When I slapped him."

"Why?"

"Because he propositioned me."

Hikaru paused. "So you cleaned his glasses?"

"It gave me time to think about the right way to tell him off."

"I hope you told him I'd kick his ass."

Akira grinned. "I said balls, but either works."


Pairing: Inui/Kaidoh
Prompt: cell phone

Kaidoh glanced at Inui's cell phone. "Aren't you going to answer that?"

Inui shook his head and pressed the 'Ignore' button. "No. It's nothing important."

"But isn't that the ring you have for-"

Inui cut him off with a brief kiss. "Nothing is more important than me being here with you."

Kaidoh smiled. "Thank you, Inui-senpai."

They sat on the couch, embracing. The phone rang several more times in the next half hour, but Inui kept ignoring it.

On the other side of town, Tezuka hung up his phone again in exasperation. Of course the one time he actually needed to talk to Inui on the phone was the one time Inui refused to answer.


Pairing: Heero/Trowa
Prompt: ice

Heero poured another cup of water over his head, wiped his hands and face, and continued typing. All of the fans were currently pointed at his computer and while he could probably spare one for himself, he couldn't be certain, and wouldn't chance it until this missing report was finished.

He heard the door open and glanced up. His fingers paused over the keyboard and he was suddenly hyperaware of every drop of water on his skin. Trowa had a cup of ice cubes in his hand... ice cubes that he was pulling from the cup and running across his face and down his bare chest and up his neck and across one quickly-hardening nipple. Heero glanced back at the computer screen, grabbed one of the fans, and turned it to face him. Mission report be damned; if there wasn't anyone to write it, it wouldn't get written anyway.


So, yeah. 15 pairings. 15 drabbles. 15 topics. I hope everyone enjoys them as they amuse me greatly. Some of these pairings I haven't written in a while, or never have.

EDIT: I just finished up a long Hikaru/Akira "shower curtain" drabble for svz_insanity. Get it HERE.
