Promptathon 002
Nothing was submitted, so no points were given! Balamb G gets to keep the shiny trophy for another week. If this keeps up they might think they own it!

This week, we're going to do a Promptathon!

So how does it work?

1. You leave a comment to this post, either anonymously or signed in (totally up to you), a pairing, and a prompt (refer to the rules for more info on this). So it should look like this -

Seifer, fear

2. Wait for someone to write your request.

3. Write other people's requests while you wait!

It's that easy! Seriously! 0.0
Best part? Everyone's welcome to participate! Whether they're a member or not! :D

Rules

* Normally for this comm, we ask that drabbles be 100 words, but for this promptathon THAT RULE IS TOTALLY SUSPENDED! We only ask for your drabbles not to go over 500 words and to be a minimum of 100 words! Go crazy!

*If a particular prompt really inspires you and you go over the 500 maximum, post it to your own journal (preferably not in a F-locked entry, plz and ty) and leave a link in a reply to the original prompt.

* Let's keep 'I second that prompt!' to one a prompt. x.x Don't make Brat annoyed. Multiple 'I second that!' for a particular prompt will be deleted.

* Prompt as many times as you want! Just try to keep prompting to three times in a row, then go read a magazine, and then feel free to come back and prompt some more. And please do try to write at least drabble for someone else.

* You can leave prompt/requests in any of these styles:

FFVIII, Quistis/Fujin, fear
FFVIII, author's choice, fear
Any, any, fear

* Your prompt can be a lyric, a quote, a word, or even a situation (ie, Quistis is learning to cast Blue magic and someone helps her).

And the most important rule!
* Have fun and pimp this out far and wide! :D

This promptathon will run for the next week, then we'll go back to our regularly scheduled show! Members can still post drabbles in the community that relate to past prompt challenges while this runs (if they want). ^_^

	Actually what I mean by loveless is the one that Genesis used to sprout here and there. Sorry I've replied this but there is a friend of mine who asked about which Loveless it was, since there are Loveless anime and the Loveless play that Genesis of FF7 is fond of.

Title: Broken Buttons
Characters/Pairings: Seifer/Squall
Rating: PG for cross-dressing
Word Count: 200
Author's Notes: i have more coming. not sure if they'll be of an arc or not. ^_^

Green eyes blinked. Once, twice then thrice. Seifer wasn't sure if what he seen was actually what he did see. He needed to see it again.
Squall stretched again and confirmed the blonde's uncertainty. Of course, there was an issue with censor buttons and not having them at that moment.

"Is that red lace I see peeking out of your leather pants?"

The brunette stiffened, straightened and turned slowly. "And?"

"Never figured you to have a lace fetish. The leather fetish you wear, well openly. I won't even try to understand the accessory-"

"What accessories?"

"Leonhart, you have more belts than a girl. And, you wear most of them at the same time."

"...whatever."

"Red though, that's bold. Brazen! Whorish even." Seifer smiled a wicked smile. "Are you a whore Squall?"

"It was the only color in my size."

Seifer blinked a couple of times again, jaw slightly slack. He, for once, didn't know how to even go about making a comment towards that. It was as if his mind had a plethora of comments it could make and just couldn't pick one.

Squall raised an eyebrow. He was surprised that there was no snappy comeback but he wouldn't complain.

Title: Toy Soldiers
Characters: Seifer. Zell, Squall, Xu.
Rating: G
Word Count: 300
Author's Note: Hope I got Seifer's voice right for you! :)

SeeD exams were something that Seifer was intimately familiar with. While there were different candidates all the time, they were all very much the same: they had some sort of sickening overenthusiasm that they might qualify as a SeeD, when they were really little children playing with toy guns. It pissed him off, and then when he'd be declined again for some stupid reason Xu had clearly made up on the spot, those little idiots would qualify over him.

Scrutinising his team, Seifer wasn't at all surprised to see such a person in his team. Bouncing on the spot and jumping up and down, ready for action, Zell Dincht was a prime example of the Garden candidates who really grated on his nerves.

More interestingly, his other team member was Squall Leonheart. Squall was at least borderline competent (if not as good as Seifer) and not a complete waste of space, but whose bright idea had it been to put the two gunblade specialists in the same group? It'd weaken the other groups considerably.

He thought of Xu again, and suspected it was her machinations. She hated him, and she was young herself: she was not above taking actions out of pure spite, he imagined. She'd be a fly ground under his shoe in any other circumstance, but he couldn't do that here; he had to kowtow to her orders, and couldn't just ignore her.

He was the team leader, though. He intended to lead by logic, not by blind faith, but he saw no need to point that out. Chances were anyway that nothing much would happen, and they'd still find something to nitpick at about him.

He stopped onto the shores of Dollet, another toy town just made for these little toy soldiers, and got ready to fight.

	Yeah. I always seem to write a quite bitter, arrogant Seifer for some reason! Oh yeah, a question I keep meaning to ask. Am I able to archive my drabbles on Fanfiction.net? I'd still post to the community, but I was having a flick through the FF8 section there and it reminded me how little canon fic there is compared to AUs so I've been considering posting.

Title: What Hurt The Most
Prompt: Hurt
Characters/Pairings: Zell Dincht, Seifer Almasy, onesided!SeiferxZell, SeiferxSquall implied
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 276 according to Word 2007
Author's Notes: I am never good with Zell and even worse with SeiferxZell thingie. So err...I hope this is up to your liking. Happy reading! ^.^

“Hello there, chicken wuss!”

Zell winced inwardly on the crude remark as he stood before the famous ex-Sorceress Knight.

“Heh.” A scoff then, “Never thought the kindergarten leader of yours is so afraid of me.”

Squall again? Even when he is facing his own execution but all he can think is him, like usual and will always be. He sighed quietly whilst his inner thought chided him and reminded him that they were rivals for certain reasons.

“Cat got on your tongue now, eh chickie?”

Damn him and his ego! Damn his stupid heart for even choosing this bully too!

“Hey! Watch your mouth, Seifer! I am not chicken wuss!”

Again his inner voice chided him for being such a kid to even raise his temper on the bait, seeing that is exactly what the ex-knight was after of.

A harsh laughter rang in the cold and sterile wall of the Estharian prison, a sound Zell had not heard for months yet felt like years had passed.

“So the chickie can still bite huh?”

“Shut up! I’m not here for your mocking! You’re coming with me back to Balamb Garden.”

Strangely, the blonde ex-knight did not rebuke, he looked like he was exasperated for some reason and he just shook his head.

“Should’ve known he would not let me go that easily.”

There, Zell really winced since it hurt, more than the insults and the punches he had bartered with the bigger blonde ever since they met way back during their cadet days. Sometimes, he wondered, if he was going to get a heart attack one day as a payback for all this stupid heart-breaking issue.

~End~

Title: Uncomfortable
Characters/Pairings: General Caraway, Laguna
Rating: G
Word Count: 300
Author's Notes: I hope this works for you!

During the countless functions that were held, a small amount of them actually required both President Laguna and General Caraway to be there.

There was yet, even a smaller handful that required them to interact.

For an outsider, someone who didn't know either man well, you couldn't tell that was any sort of unease between them.
For those who knew them, the signals were loud and clear.

Caraway gripped hands tighter, held on with a vicelike grip. He stood straighter and was almost rigid in his actions. It was bad enough that even Rinoa, who had been estranged from him for a while could see it.

Laguna, however, his actions were jerky, a little less coordinated - which was saying a lot. Many considered him to be a klutz on a good day but around the other man, he spilt wine more, dropped things repeatedly and tripped over his own feet. His laughter was dulled and nervous, came in random high-pitched bursts that caused people to look, to stare.

When they were actually put together, at the head of a table, you could see one pale and sweat while the other sits stock still and breathe with shallow breaths.

Needless to say, the conversations between the two were short and not very sweet. They could never get past the stage of brief small talk, past the weather or even a feigned interest in a sports team.

There were sighs of relief from both parties, sometimes audible by others - sometimes not, when one or the other was called away.

Their children however, were proud of them. Proud that they didn't cause embarrassment, or more embarrassment than what was already done by an uncomfortable situation. They were proud that they didn't turn into children and pick fights and argue over seemingly meaningless things.

oh that's simple! i can see Caraway getting the headache first! he's so uptight and straight laced and Laguna is so laid back!

middle aged? hahaaa! i didn't even think of that! i was actually thinking two different time segments. like caraway sees it when he was younger, like when the film just came out and is all "ooooh" and it's all secret boy crush and doesn't put it together that the laguna of the movie is the laguna that his wife used to love. and then actually meeting him!

Title: His and Their Loves
Prompt: Clumsy love
Characters/Pairings: Kiros Seagill, Laguna Loire, Ward Zabac and KirosxLagunaxWard
Rating: PG-13 for the short sex undertones
Word Count: 485 according to Word 2007
Author's Notes: Shame on me to fulfill my own prompt -.-; Oh well, I'm gonna share this with you guys so happy reading!

He sure was clumsy even to the level of being a klutzy. People were usually either irritated by him and his clumsy attitude or simply adored him and his clumsiness was then categorized as cuteness. Usually most males fell into the first category whilst females could not help but to line up at the second one. Therefore, when all his clumsiness was faced by a silent patience and tolerated sighs, Laguna was confused but grateful and since then both of them were dubbed as his best friend forever and ever.

Ward surely never imagined that he would be paired with the most clumsiest man of the group. He had, of course, heard of the man’s clumsiness but hearing one was really different from seeing one. Yet, strangely enough all these clumsy actions did mind him. In fact, it was almost like a habit that he cleaned his mess as well as prevent like a parent would do to a child. It was not a difficult task after all, since all he did was like keeping a napkin ready whenever they ate together so when should there be any spill, he could easily and patiently wipe up the mess, be it on the table or his clothes or even, his fondest location, the corner of that tempting lips or even on the top of his cute nose. Really, he never complained.

Kiros addition to their group was almost an accident but surprisingly, both of them along with him worked just fine together. Yes, there were times when the long haired male’s clumsiness got the better of him but there were times when he caught and supported him back to his feet whenever the mute male could not do it or was not fast enough to catch him. The silent male was a power house to balance with his agility and their friends’ almost unbelievable accurate aims. He knew almost immediately that he could not dislike the klutzy male even when he was being silly, side-tracked and most clumsy. Well, a job done by two is a job halved that was what he always thought. Not to mention he did need the silence as well as the noise to balance out his life.

It was during these stolen moment of bliss and pleasure that both of them agreed that their clumsy friend would be the most endearing. It was his gasps as well as his mewls that aroused them in no time. His submission under their ministration was also addicting. His flushed face accompanied by his whimper had always made them surrender and proceeded to let him had his release, not to mention he did beg prettily even if the words came out clumsily. Yet, for them the moment the Laguna moaned their names loudly in his broken stutter when he climaxed, it was the most graceful action that both Kiros and Ward had come to treasure.
