Fandom: Magic Kaito
Summary: Aoko can't seem to find the right words
For:

summercloud; a belated birthday fic ^^; The request was "MK Yaoi/Yuri, with the color purple, a pen, and the line, 'What did I tell you about eating out of dumpsters?'"
Fic: Letters

'Dear Akako,' Aoko wrote, then stopped. She wasn't sure how to do on; she'd never written one of these before. Idly, she tapped her pen against the desk as she mapped out what she would say. She didn't get much farther than 'Dear Akako'. Aoko huffed and frowned at the paper. Who knew that writing a love confession would be so difficult? Still frowning, Aoko attempted to get back to work.

Not twenty seconds later she was jerked from her thoughts by someone saying, "Purple today, Aoko?" Squawking indignantly, Aoko kicked out under the desk with her right foot, earning an indignant, "Ow!" from the offender. Kaito crawled out into the open, massaging his head. "Morning, Aoko," he said cheerily, and followed up with, "You didn't have to kick so hard, you know."

"Morning yourself," Aoko replied, "and you deserved it."

"Yeah, yeah." Kaito rolled his eyes and peered over Aoko's shoulder. "Hey, what are you writing?"

Turning red as a tomato, Aoko quickly flipped the paper over and slammed her hands down on it. "Nothing!" she squeaked.

"Nothing, huh?" Kaito asked, frowning at a sheet of white paper he had pulled from somewhere. "This doesn't look like nothing."

Aoko glanced over her shoulder and leaped to her feet. "Ah! Kaito, give that back!" Snatching the paper from his hands, she turned it over only to discover that it was an ordinary piece of blank paper with no incriminating love messages on it at all.

Kaito grinned impishly and grabbed the paper she had left undefended on her desk. "Gotcha! Now, let's see what we have here..." Kaito's eyebrows rose as he scanned over the paper, taking in the false starts and scratched out words. "Is this...?"

Aoko looked away. "Yes," she admitted, "but I can't seem to get the words to come out right."

Kaito shrugged, handing the paper back. "So just tell her. It can't be that hard, right?"

Aoko rolled her eyes at him. "Easy for you to say." As lunch hour drew closer, though, Kaito's suggestion was looking better and better. At last, with only a few minutes left, Aoko hastily scribbled something down and stuffed the letter in an envelope. When the bell rang, Aoko left her seat and went to seek out the other girl.

Fifteen minutes later she still wasn't having any luck. Aoko was about to give up and go back inside to eat when she heard someone calling, "Goronta! What have I told you about eating out of dumpsters?"

It's her! Aoko's heart quickened and she rounded the corner to see Akako scolding a large marmalade cat. "I'll have youy know that I brought extra food today so you--oh, hello." Akako looked up and smiled at Aoko.

Aoko swallowed hard. "Hello, Akako-chan." The letter trembled in her grip. "I was wondering if--that is, if I could..." Dammit, Aoko thought, why couldn't I have fallen in love with Kaito? I'm never this nervous around him.

But that was just it. She was only this nervous around Akako because of how she felt for her. She never would have noticed her feelings if she reacted normally toward the other girl.

Akako, perhaps sensing Aoko's distress, smiled warmly and took a step towards her. "Would you like to go out for coffee sometime, Aoko-chan?" She paused, adding, "Unless going out for coffee with another girl makes you uncomfortable..."

Aoko shook her head emphatically. "No. I would love to have coffee with you, Akako-chan." Aoko's cheeks heated up and she had to struggle to keep eye-conact. "In fact, I... was going to ask if you wanted to go out sometime. For coffee. Or anything."

Akako stared at Aoko. A smile formed on her lips. "Well, that works out nicely then, doesn't it? I'll meet you at the front gate at three o'clock then, okay?"

Aoko smiled back. "Okay. I'll see you then."

"Mm-hmm," Akako winked over her shoulder, and then walked back to class.

Still blushing, Aoko watched her go. As an afterthought, she tossed the unneeded note into the dumpster and followed the other girl inside.

Kaito feels a little off to me, I think, but otherwise it seems okay. 'Specially since I was only half-awake when I finally finished it.

Shortfic or art to anyone who can spot the mini-crossover.

Summary: Sora is out to make sure he doesn't lose Riku again
For:

mistressoffoxes, another belated birthday fic. "Kingdom Hearts, Riku/Sora."
Fic: Chain Link

The first thing Riku did when he found Sora again was kiss him, long and hard and breathless. Sora, to his credit, was only in shock for four seconds before he kissed back. Riku soon became very thoroughly distracted--almost enough to miss the small clicking noise. Still, even though he hadn't seen Sora in what seemed like a decade (but was probably more like five months), he managed to break the kiss to ask what the noise was.

"Ah," said Sora smugly, "that was this." He moved his left hand and Riku's right mimicked the motion.

Riku looked down to see what was going on. "Handcuffs?"

"After all the time it took to find you, I wasn't about to let you sneak off again," Sora informed him. "Now come on, our friends are waiting!"

Amused, Riku allowed himself to be dragged away. Who was he to complain about being chained to Sora for the rest of his life?

--Fin--

Third time these two've been requested, and I think I'm running out of ideas -_-a Maybe I'll feel better once I finally write that crossover.

I dunno; I'm feeling relatively uncreative with these. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
