Fandom: Clamp Campus Detectives
Pairing: Idomu/Nokoru
Theme set: Beta
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Rearranged the sets because there was something about the alliteration that was driving me nuts.
27 - Jester
To Nokoru, suits and ties feel like nothing more than a jester’s outfit, silly and false.
09 - War
Even back then, there was a war in Idomu’s heart between the part of him that was head over heels for Nokoru and the part that was burning with misplaced anger.
49 - Victory
Nokoru almost always wins at chess, and Idomu doesn’t just allow that win - usually.
39 - Share
Nokoru’s mother was one of the kindest people Idomu had ever met, just like Nokoru, and it took him a little while to realize that Nokoru was trying to share her with Idomu.
29 - Jewel
Nokoru has a habit of trying to buy the things he wants most for himself to give to other people, so when Idomu sees him eyeing a pretty sapphire ring, Idomu sneaks back and buys it before Nokoru decides he should give it to one of his lady friends.
19 - Balcony
Idomu attempts to do a romantic balcony scene and Nokoru tries to hold back a laugh as he accuses Idomu of just wanting to look up his skirt.
08 - Whiskey and rum
Kisses felt like whiskey and rum, which was odd because neither of them drank at all.
48 - Virtuous
The most wondrous thing to Idomu is that he has to be the least virtuous person in the world, yet Nokoru still loves him.
38 - Sojourn
Sometimes being with Nokoru feels like an oddly permanent sojourn from the realities of the world.
28 - Jousting
Sometimes they have a grand time just verbal jousting all day, with Idomu speaking in double entendres and Nokoru pretending he has no idea what Idomu is implying.
18 - Balloon
This time when Idomu steals the blimp, it’s to take Nokoru for a surprise ride.
07 - Waste/Wasteland
He looks back on the time he terrorized Nokoru as a wasteland, and all he can remember is how emotionally dead he felt until Nokoru brought him back to life.
47 - Valiant
Nokoru doesn’t believe there’s anything valiant about him, but he does try to be kind.
37 - Soliloquy
Nokoru tends to go on soliloquies, and Idomu loves to listen to them with his arms around Nokoru’s waist.
17 - Belief
Nokoru once expressed shock, saying, “You believe what I’m saying?” and Idomu just smiled and replied, “Of course I believe you - you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
06 - Whimsy
Nokoru’s all whimsy and pure enjoyment of life, which is something that Idomu’s never known and always needed.
36 - Sordid
When all the news coming out in 1999 is sordid stories of pain and suffering, all Idomu can do is hold Nokoru.
26 - Jump
Idomu would jump off a cliff if Nokoru asked him to.
46 - Horizon
They watch the sun rise on the horizon and it’s the most beautiful thing ever, because they know that it’s the new millennium and the world is safe.
16 - Breaking
Sometimes each worries that they are too broken, like Humpty Dumpty, until the other comes along and puts back the pieces.
05 - Worry
Nokoru’s habit of caring for others and never himself always worries Idomu, who says that if Nokoru won’t look after himself, then Idomu will have to devote himself entirely to looking after Nokoru.
35 - Sarcasm
Idomu’s sarcastic attitude takes Nokoru aback occasionally, but Nokoru manages to remind himself that it’s just the way Idomu is, and it’s not personal at all.
25 - Quitting
When Idomu just feels like quitting everything, Nokoru’s there to pick him up.
45 - Natural
Nokoru always earns Idomu’s smile by discarding ties and shirts for something that looks more natural.
15 - Breathing
Nokoru, caught up in the throes of passion, makes the cutest little breathy whimpers.
04 - Wonder
Idomu will always wonder “what if” Nokoru hadn’t always been there for him.
34 - Serenade
The piano tinkles quietly, nothing like the heavy, brooding pieces Idomu used to play, and he says everything he plays is for Nokoru.
24 - Quarrel
They hardly ever quarrel, and when they do it’s almost more for a change of pace - nothing ever stays quiet and uninteresting when Nokoru’s involved.
44 - Near
Nokoru wishes he could stay near Idomu every moment of the day.
14 - Burning
Idomu would always be glad that the hate burning in his heart had cooled.
03 - Wishes
There’s nothing Idomu can think of to wish for anymore.
33 - Stupidity
The sheer stupidity of a work system that keeps Nokoru away from him from nine until five drives Idomu nuts.
23 - Question
On Clamp Campus, there’s almost nothing that can’t be done, so for Idomu to pop the question in a field of Nokoru’s favorite flowers is really not that hard, all things considered.
43 - Nuance
Every nuance of Nokoru’s movements hides a feminine grace.
13 - Bias
Idomu thinks that Nokoru’s the most beautiful thing in the entire world, to be treasured, and even though he’s biased he doesn’t see how anyone could disagree.
02 - Waltz
Idomu still hates to waltz because he associates it with the highfalutin world of his father, but when Nokoru’s the one in his arms he doesn’t mind.
32 - Sorrow
He’s still over come with great sorrow when he visits his mother’s grave, but that wound has slowly healed over the years under Nokoru’s loving care.
22 - Quirks
Nokoru has so many quirks that Idomu doesn’t think he’ll ever be bored when Nokoru’s around.
42 - Neutral
Idomu slowly learns to recognize the too-neutral tone that means Nokoru’s up to something.
12 - Blessing
Having Nokoru is the highest blessing, that of holding a saint or a boddhisatva in his arms, and Idomu will never, ever forget how lucky he is.
01 - Walking
Sometimes they’re both walking wounded, messed up, trying to heal each other as best they can.
31 - Smirk
The smirk slowly softens over the years until Idomu’s smile is once again something trusting and kind.
21 - Quiet
It’s rarely quiet around Clamp, but in a moment of privacy in their rooms, Nokoru’s head on Idomu’s chest, Idomu will strain to try to hear Nokoru’s heart as well.
41 - Nowhere
Nowhere in the world is more peaceful than the circle of Idomu’s arms.
11 - Birthday
The concept of a birthday is a little lost on Idomu, as he never celebrated them when he was young, so Nokoru is certain to make an extra big fuss.
10 - Weddings
Idomu is totally shocked to be invited to Akira’s wedding, but happy to be able to go with Nokoru.
40 - Solitary
Solitary days are spent tinkering on the piano or his computer, but at night he doesn’t have to be alone.
30 - Just
“Just stay for a little while,” Nokoru had whispered, when Idomu’d come to Japan for a brief visit after high school, and a little while turned into a longer while and sooner or later into forever.
50 - Defeat
Idomu’s defeat on the train by Nokoru wasn’t truly a loss at all; or if it was, it was the sweetest one that anyone could ever experience.
20 - Bane
Suoh slowly learns to trust Idomu, though he still refers to the man as the bane of his existence, and Nokoru is happiest the day he realizes that it’s now safe to use Idomu as something else to tease Suoh with.
