Just stuffed myself on Italian food, which was half-paid for by the CGR. Hurrah for free food! Also hurrah for receiving letters in the mail! I just finished reading the one that my one and only ribosome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
schwimmerin sent me. ^_~ (Thank you Jenny! It was such a sweet letter, and it just brightened up my day completely.)
Since I just came back and dashed this drabble off really quickly, I can't guarantee any quality or coherence.
Flying
Dedicated tosolidark, who unknowingly introduced me to this series
When you jump, said Sano, it all tends to pass by in a blur--one moment you're pushing up into the air and the next you've landed on the mats, looking up at the bar that you've cleared. But there is a pause between those two moments, when everything comes to a focus, and you look up at the sky, you look, you really look, and well--
Well what?
You realize you're flying, he muttered, ducking his head and scuffling his feet. He looked at her, from the corner of his eyes, and flushed a little at the expression on her face: her eyes impossibly wide, her lips parted in a soft sigh. He reached out and ruffled her hair, its thin strands tangling in his fingers. She ducked and grinned nervously at him. He dropped his hand, exhaled into the cold night air and watched his breath fog.
What's it like to fly?
He hesitated and glanced at her again. The tip of her nose was red from the cold. He stood there for a long second, aware of the distance between them, of the air that stayed chill against her skin and his own. He remembered this feeling of stillness, of suspension, of clarity, but when he opened his mouth to speak, all he could say was, It's like...it's like falling in love.
They both blushed and did not meet each other's eyes. Instead they walked on, and he matched his long stride to hers, so that they could step in unison.
END
Oh, the sap. ^_^ Hope you like it, Inez-san!
Yours &c.

Date: 2005-08-16 07:39 pm (UTC)'Cuz I'm good like that. xP~~ I wasn't expecting that sap >_> NARF XD~
Upon your insistence, I've started my JK fic, which makes me feel really stupid, 'cuz the idea is stupid, the fic is stupid, but oh, what the hell >_

Oh right, I should just finish my oldoldoldold sappy Trigun fic. Nya~

Date: 2005-08-16 07:45 pm (UTC)I rather liked your Trigun fic except for two things: (1) it was kind of confusing and (2) it was a little too obvious of a self-insert. FINISH IT.

Date: 2005-08-16 07:57 pm (UTC)What's RPF? It'll be short. I don't have the stamina for all that sillyness those crazy teens write on those forums I frequent. (CHAPTERS OF KPOP FANFIC?! INSANE!)
The scarier thing is that you REMEMBER my Trigun fic. O_O I wouldn't remember it! I don't even remember showing it to you. O_O And I like self-inserts~ Maybe that's why I don't like fanfics in general. They're not ME xD~

Date: 2005-08-16 08:29 pm (UTC)I like the idea of the Trigun fanfic. Though, I guess it's not all that well written. Sighs. But nothing new! The JK oppa fic is a self-insert, too! xP~

Date: 2005-08-16 08:32 pm (UTC)Just try your best not to make it into a total Mary Sue, neh? Your Trigun fic veered dangerously close to that. Although yeah the idea was cool. Confusing but cool.
