Challenge II - CLOSED

[poisonangel]

This Challenge is CLOSED.

I have finished the first challenge that I opened a billion years ago!!!! And now since I’m insane, I hereby open a new one!

I’m not stating a limit, but restrain yourselves, people! ^__^ Give me a character or a fandom that I know and a theme or prompt or randomly selected word and I will give you a fic or a drabble or a drawing or an icon. My call, not yours. Mwa ha ha! Oh, and I may even disregard your theme!

Evil is as evil does...

Oh, and here are links to everything from Challenge I. Enjoy!

Trouble

The trouble with having a crush is that it is all-consuming. If you don’t talk about it the pressure will build until it is unbearable. The trouble with having a crush on your best friend is that you have no one to tell.

Early on it had been Yuuri thinking Murata had a crush on him. There was the way he used to look at him in class. And then at that dolphin show he joked about holding hands. He told himself it was flattering, but that he could never be interested in something like that even if Murata was. Then he found out his friend was The Great Sage and that seemed to explain things. It was a professional interest. It should have been a relief.

It wasn’t.

The more Yuuri thought about it as his adventures progressed the more it bothered him. One day he even found himself having a heated, hypothetical conversation with some of Greta’s dolls over whether leading someone on should be a crime in Shin Makoku. He was, thankfully, appropriately embarrassed afterward. He had to blame Wolfram’s influence both for making him see male relationships as viable and for encouraging him to be such a hot head.

It wasn’t uncommon in Shin Makoku. That was a plus. How many times had he turned the corner in the hall with the tapestries to see Murata looking up at the Shinou. It made him wonder how common it had been back then.

He couldn’t make himself ask about it. Whenever it seemed like he was about to bring up something potentially embarrassing he would distract the topic. Baseball was his go-to save.

After about the fifth conversation about the strike zone in a single day, he realized he was going to have to talk to someone. Maybe he’d tell Wolfram. After all, if he was dead he wouldn’t have to worry about it getting back to Murata.


(OOC: This was not the one-side I expected to write it from. Silly characters surprising me.)

This is really linear in thought, considering you're writing from Yuuri's brain. The late realization and the dolls and his conclusion on the matter were great. I can clearly see all of Yuuri's facial expressions as he thinks it through. XD

Aww, this is very cute! And I don't think it's all that OoC, since we know how passionate Yuuri can get about things. Loved it to pieces, but this was the line that just MADE it for me:

It made him wonder how common it had been back then.

...because damn that's an awesome idea and oh so sad for Yuuri. ♥

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I had been challenged to write something one-sided between them and I had every intention of writing it with Murata having the feelings for Yuuri, but then somehow Yuuri convinced me otherwise. Heh.

Characters like to do that from time to time. ;)
