Three Spring Awakening drabbles

[arqueete]

msmoocow challenged me to three drabbles. At like 4 am. AND I WROTE THEM. AND HERE THEY ARE. 100 words exactly each, inspired by a song off shuffle.

Josh Groban – Awake

If we just keep our eyes wide open
Then everything would stay the same

Dark was quickly falling as they walked home. Moritz kept his footsteps slow, rhythmic, and Melchior kept having to stop to keep from getting ahead. After a while he said, “You're dragging your feet, Moritz?” and with his expression Melchior asked if something was wrong. Moritz almost wanted to laugh – he struggled to hold it in. Nothing was wrong. And that was just the thing. He wanted to, needed to, hold on to this feeling -- bottle it up forever. So it was hard to leave, to permit the night to slip away and have to start over the next day.

Regina Spektor – Raindrops

You don’t know but that’s okay
You might find me anyway
Don’t you know that I belong arm in arm with you, baby

She liked to imagine that he would understand. The other girls swooned over Melchior Gabor, and... Sure, what Martha would give for a boy like that to even give her a second glance. But she could never feel like she deserved it and she could never really see herself with a guy like that, all handsome looks and radical ideas. She was a simple girl, she thought, and she wouldn't mind, or would even like, just a sweet, simple guy who knew what it was like to be left on the edge of the crowd – a guy like Moritz Stiefel.

Sarah McLachlan – Black & White

And all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am

It was a rainy day, strange for late fall, but it was looking to be a mild winter. Wendla lifted her hand and pressed it against the glass, a dark shape against the light gray of the overcast outdoors. She didn't know why the hand made her think of him -- maybe because the glass was cold against her fingers and he had been so warm in her arms. That night had gone by so quickly yet she saw everything in her life since as a comparison. He'd said he could hear her in the rain, the hay – now she understood.

YAY YAY. I like the first one best, I think.It really captures Moritz's sense of being lost.

ALSO, I WROTE TWO AND GOT TOO SLEEPY, so I will post them on my own LJ when they're done HOWEVER:

Pushing Daisies (Ned/Chuck)

“We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed” - Los Campesinos!

And you feel terrified at the thought of being left behind
Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying
Oh, we kid ourselves, there's future in the fucking
But there is no fucking future

“If you kissed me I’d die the happiest girl on Earth.”

Ned groaned. “And you’d leave me to grow old alone, an embittered old man. You would be the one that got away, and I’d live to tell stories of our doomed youthful passion to my twenty-seven cats.”

Chuck smiled. “And if you die first?”

“I’d like to go quickly, no muss, no fuss. Heart failure. It seems appropriate for a life without you.”

“Maybe that’s best. I’d be with you the whole time, and I’d kiss your lips and my heart would stop beating, right there, next to yours.”

bare (Jason/Peter)

"Body Parts" - J,LC

What makes you hot?
Something that you want but you haven't got
Isn't that the way, just a game to play all the day
Well, I say you can bring the ice
Sweating will suffice
Your body parts are nice

The best nights are when Jason comes home from practice, exhausted and sweaty, when he’s too tired to even mumble hello to Peter before he passes out on his bed. On those nights, Peter can look his fill, imagine slipping his fingers under Jason’s shirt and feeling the warm muscles flex and contract, running his lips hungrily over Jason’s neck, their bodies pressing hard into one another, and God, the slide of skin on skin. But most of all, it’s the thought of undressing Jason that thrills Peter, of peeling away layers and stripping Jason of all his goddamn restraint.
