Theme: Gamma
Rating: PG
This was really fun to do - I may have cheated with the semicolons a bit, but meh. Sue me.
#1 Ring
The day he ordered his class ring, Kawamura made his choice solely by considering whether silver or gold would look better against Fuji’s skin.
#2 Hero
No one knew it, and Fuji never said it aloud, but Kawamura Takashi was his hero - he’d never met anyone as altruistic as his Taka-san.
#3 Memory
Fuji’s sweetest memory was of the determined look on Kawamura’s face the day he’d mustered up enough courage to finally ask him for a date.
#4 Box
Kawamura kept delivery crates in the back of the restaurant so that Fuji would not have to balance on a chair whenever it became necessary for him to reach the top shelf.
#5 Run
Kawamura ran two miles, in the pouring rain, to get to Fuji the night he’d called, unable to speak through his tears.
#6 Hurricane
Kawamura had never experienced a hurricane, but he knew that he’d need Fuji with him if that were to ever change.
#7 Wings
Kawamura thought Halloween was silly - until Fuji turned up at his house in angel wings and not much else.
#8 Cold
Fuji shivered and, without saying a word, Kawamura took off his jacket and draped it over the smaller boy’s shoulders.
#9 Red
When Eiji dared Fuji to paint his toenails red, Fuji mistook Kawamura’s flustered silence for disapproval.
#10 Drink
No one had figured out that Kawamura always put two straws in his glass on the off-chance that Fuji might also be thirsty.
#11 Midnight
On the eve of their one-year anniversary, Kawamura called Fuji at midnight for no other reason than that he couldn’t wait eight more hours to hear his lover’s voice.
# 12 Temptation
Watching Fuji eat was more of a temptation to Kawamura than seeing an entire parade of pretty girls in bikinis.
#13 View
When Fuji talked about how breathtaking the sunset was, Kawamura was adamant that the colors were all the more beautiful for their reflection in Fuji’s eyes.
# 14 Music
They couldn’t agree on music, but Kawamura always let Fuji choose what c.d. they listened to when they were together.
# 15 Silk
The night of their junior prom, Fuji gave Kawamura the length of silk he’d worn knotted so intricately at his neck.
# 16 Cover
Kawamura’s presence was the only reason Fuji was able to let his guard down.
#17 Promise
The day Kawamura said goodbye to tennis, he gave Fuji a promise ring and his very first kiss.
#18 Dream
Kawamura never dreamed when Fuji slept beside him.
#19 Candle
Just before Fuji blew out the candle that lit Kawamura’s small bedroom, he pressed the softest of kisses to his lover’s lips.
#20 Talent
Fuji was good at everything; Kawamura was good at loving Fuji.
#21 Silence
When silence stretched between them, Kawamura would often find himself breathing in perfect counterpoint to Fuji.
#22 Journey
It was Fuji who mailed both his and Kawamura’s college applications - both envelopes bore the same address.
#23 Fire
Fuji made Kawamura burn in a way that tennis never could.
#24 Strength
While hiking in the mountains last summer, Kawamura dislocated his shoulder when he dove to keep Fuji from slipping on some rocks and falling over the mountain’s edge.
#25 Mask
Fuji admires Kawamura for being true to himself - he never pretends to be what he is not.
#26 Ice
Kawamura thinks that Fuji looks like an angel when he ice skates.
#27 Fall
Fuji thought he was falling in love - Kawamura already knew that he had.
#28 Forgotten
Kawamura needn’t have worried; the argument was forgotten the moment he turned those big, sad eyes on Fuji.
#29 Dance
Breathless with anticipation and practically shaking with nerves, Kawamura’s voice was no more than a whisper when he shyly took Fuji’s hand and asked to have this dance.
#30 Body
Fuji climbed out of the pool, sleek and smiling, and Kawamura forgot to breathe.
#31 Sacred
Kawamura never, ever spoke about the intimate details of his relationship with Fuji Shuusuke - not even to his best friend.
#32 Farewells
Fuji went abroad the summer between second and third year; Kawamura cried himself to sleep the whole first week.
#33 World
Kawamura was only half kidding when he asked Fuji where he wanted to go on their honeymoon; Fuji was one hundred percent serious when he answered ‘everywhere’.
#34 Formal
Kawamura had the best manners of any person that Fuji had ever known.
#35 Fever
Fuji stayed with Kawamura until his fever broke - illness knew better than to trifle with Fuji Shuusuke.
#36 Laugh
Kawamura rattled the bathroom doorknob, rapidly becoming panicked, but the only sound he was met with was the soft cadence of Fuji’s laughter on the other side of the door.
#37 Lies
Someone once made the mistake of telling Kawamura that Fuji had been seen in a liplock with Tezuka - that was the day Kawamura broke his hand.
#38 Forever
When Kawamura said ‘I love you’, Fuji’s answer was always ‘forever’.
#39 Overwhelmed
The first time Fuji touched him, Kawamura lost the ability to reason.
#40 Whisper
Kawamura never lifted his voice above a whisper when he had Fuji in his arms.
#41 Wait
Fuji stopped to tie his shoelace and never had to call Kawamura back - he turned to wait the moment Fuji stopped walking.
#42 Talk
When Kawamura spoke, Fuji’s eyes were always open.
#43 Search
When Fuji lost his necklace in the river, Kawamura went back after dinner and searched the riverbed until he found it.
#44 Hope
While Kawamura agonized over whether he should ask Fuji on a date or leave the situation alone, Eiji let it slip to Kawamura that his friend had a secret crush.
#45 Eclipse
Though they’d met at the planetarium to watch the eclipse together, Fuji didn’t let Kawamura up for air until the room was bright again.
#46 Gravity
Staring nervously at the bungee cord that tied them together, Kawamura tried to explain gravity to Fuji, who only kissed him swiftly just before he grabbed his lover…and jumped.
#47 Highway
Kawamura loved road trips, even though Fuji never managed to remain conscious for the entirety of any they’d taken together.
#48 Unknown
Fuji sat beside him, silently encouraging, while Kawamura told his parents that Fuji Shuusuke was more than just his friend.
# 49 Lock (companion to #36)
The day after what became known as ‘the bathroom fiasco’, Kawamura installed a doorknob without a lock.
#50 Breathe
As they lay together, sweatslick and completely lost in one another, Fuji lay his head on Kawamura’s chest - lulled by the rhythm of his breathing.
