Song Based 1x2 Drabbles

Song Challenge

A/N: On 1x2 ml, Vega-Lume
mentioned the LJ challenge to pick one pairing/one fandom and use five totally
random songs on your music system (iTunes, Windows
Media, whatever, just put it on random). The songs have to be random and you
can’t skip any. Also, the fic has to be written in
the time of the song, once the song stops, you stop. Well, Vega wrote some and
I thought that it was an interesting idea.

All of these drabbles are 1x2 and some have disturbing
content.

We’re All Alone by Angela Aki

Solo once told me that we are all born alone. We run alone
for years, picking up little things like friends and lovers, but in the end, we
die alone as well. I suppose that’s the truth. When he died, Solo was alone,
too, and I was too late to even hold his hand. Will we die alone, too? Stuck in
the cockpit of our war machines with metal sticking out of our bodies or shot
down like rabid dogs when peace has finally come? The first time I felt like I
wasn’t alone was in your arms, your heart beating against my back. With that
sound I could pretend, for a little while, that I would never be alone again.
And now, we lie together once more, the Perfect
Soldier and the God of Death.

            “You’ll
never have to die alone,” you promise me and for this brief moment in time, our
hands and hearts intertwined, I can believe you.

Room of Angel by Akira Yamaoka

I laugh as she spits up her blood through her dying lips,
but she makes no sound. Heero waits for me in the next room and hears me, but
doesn’t look. This is our time, mother and son. My knife just
out from her chest, her blood pooling on the floor. In this moment, I
can sing, but instead, I just laugh. I’m sure that it is fitting. Did she not
laugh when she sold me to the wolves of L2? Did she not laugh as I begged her
to stay? And did I not laugh as broke down her door, my lover watching with
patient eyes. It lies still, dormant inside of my heart, this darkness, this
anger, but though I have screamed many times amongst that darkness, now I can
only laugh. Her blue eyes meet mine and she chokes something out, what it is, I
can not understand. But, if it sorry, I’d spit on her. Demons are never sorry,
are they? And I can’t stand her lies, not anymore. She said she loved me. She
said she would take care of me. She said that it would only hurt the first time
and only for awhile. She said the men were good men, just like daddy, and they
would be good for me. Lies, lies, lies. I force the
knife deeper into her hateful, heaving chest with the sole of my shoe. Don’t
lie to me. Just let me laugh. Goodbye, Mommy.

Ever She Flows by Treble Charger

His voice, it wreaks havoc on my heart. His eyes, they tear
away everything. Myself, I can’t see the person that I had been trained to class=GramE>be, only the person Duo has turned me into. And he smiles as
I laugh, an expression that would make me cry in
happiness. His hands are soft as they wrap around mine, deceptive are the hands
of the God of Death. He kisses my cheek and I can feel his hair against my
neck. So warm, that hair, like a living thing, like his own
heart. And that hair trails behind him and I run after him. I can see him silhouetted
by the moon, such a fragile frame, yet it is enough to carry me through another
day. He laughs too and drags me towards the grassy hilltop. The world is laid
before us, lights twinkling like so many stars. But, they are not as bright as
his eyes in darkness. I kiss him back and I know this: I love him.

Tourniquet by Evanescence

The blood drips. One, two, three, like brilliantly colored
candies on the linoleum floor. Can they see it? No, they never will. It’s warm
against my cold skin. The red is pretty against the paleness of my skin, but I
doubt that they would think that. The blade flashes in the light of the
bathroom. This is my punishment. A flash of fire, a dying
hand in mine… screaming in the dark. Yet, as the blood flows, it flows
with it. Heero sits on the toilet seat, watching as the cuts appear. They’d
never understand it, but they don’t need to. He watches intently, waiting for
me to slip, to go too far, but I now my place now. I know the stakes. It burns,
but it is warm at the same time. It is Heero’s love and it is the cuts on my
skin. Salvation, punishment, all lie in his loving
blue eyes.

Half by G Tom Mac

I see the way he looks at you. Why do you do this? Does he
really love you, Duo? Or is it something else that holds the two of you
together? Do you not see as he disappears every night? Do you not see as he
looks away when you are making love? Or, are you tied down? Fancy cars, a
cherub smile, are these the things you yearn for, is
it something more sinister? I’ll never know. But, I’ll always keep watch.
Sooner or later he’ll slip. He doesn’t notice you like I do. When you finally
realize how he uses you, I think you’ll notice, too. Are you ready to stop
taking only the smallest amount and look for what you really need? Or do I need
to show you all you could have? Not a big mansion or a pretty blonde lover, but
more than half that you’ve ever deserved.
