Drabbles 1-8
I'm working on writing 100 drabbles by NaNo! This is a goal I can hopefully really achieve! Here are the first 8! Exclamation!

Minako murmured softly in her sleep. The clock blinked over slowly. The Dark Hour had passed, and with it the nightmares Shinjiro assumed every persona-user experienced during that lost time. It was why he couldn't sleep until the sun began to rise.
He leaned over slowly and rested his hand on the girl's forehead. The touch brought on another small sound. She shifted in her sleep, calling, shifting and ultimately clinging to Shinji's arm in a sleepy-possessive way. She trusted him to protect her. In an unfamiliar way, he trusted her the same. He regretted the inevitable end.

Tear laughed, hugging the book to her chest and wading through the flowers to her brother. "Will you read me this one, Van?"
He couldn't help but return the smile. There had always been the expectation that Mystearica would take after their mother, but she really shared her smile with their father, and Van knew that was exactly how she would grow up and, in the end, he would be proud to have a part in helping her attain the quiet determination and unwavering honor that truly defined House Fende. Assuming the Score would allow her to have that.

Yuri leaned against the sill of his window and covered his eyes. The barrier was generally invisible, but if you really watched the sun as it set, you could make out a light infraction where Zaphias ended. Beyond that edge, Flynn was making his way through knighthood and really seeing what the world could be. Repede pressed his shoulder into Yuri's leg, and he rested his hand on the lean dog's head in a return gesture.
They'd both make their way past the barrier one day. Neither of them needed the imperial knights to take them there. Yuri knew that.

It had been ten years since high school, and Finn Hudson wasn't sure he wanted to go to the reunion. "It'll be great," Kurt assured him, swapping Finn's blue tie for the one with green diamonds and the Italian name.
The reception was painless, despite Finn standing a head taller than his classmates, even now. It was during a long-winded speech from someone who'd managed to leave Lima and start a company and make a million that someone caught up and asked the inevitable, "You guys ended up brother's, right?"
"We're married now." Kurt's reply was perfectly, quickly timed.

Kurt clicked his tongue, turning Finn's hand over in his and shaking his head.
"Honestly? Haven't you ever heard of lotion?" He dropped Finn's hand in mock finality and began rooting through his bag. "Skin care is important in preventing premature aging. Don't you know the hands show age first? Shea butter." The lectures continued, but Finn could hardly listen.
Kurt's hands, firmly working across Finn's fingers, rubbing across the joints with determination. With each motion Finn found it harder to listen to the words and keep his mind from wandering beyond the reality of Kurt's actions, into the possibilities.

Finn laughed, setting his beer down on the table and rocking back in his chair. "No, no. You gotta," his chair landed back on the front legs hard, nearly putting Finn's face into his drink. His thought was lost in the laughter again. Suddenly, it cut off as he went completely serious. "Kurt."
The other boy put his beer down, glad for the excuse to stop pretending he was drinking it.
"I gotta tell you. I mean it. I mean it, Kurt."
Kurt looked confused, his eyes narrowed and looked more grey. His lips moved? Finn didn't really hear the words.

"Finn, you can't just sit here, it's senior prom!" Rachel's hands-on-hips stance was familiar after two-and-a-half years. A nice dress, and shoes couldn't mask their 'gold star.' She mistook his mental inventory of this fact as admiration. She spun, taking a step away to try and lure him off the bleachers. "Kurt helped. Said the color matched my hair? Called it a 'peace offering.' Thank goodness he finally realized that I deserve his apology." She paused. "Where is he tonight, anyway?"
"He said he didn't want to. Come alone." Finn was sure the 'peace offering' wasn't for Rachel.

Finn had always figured Kurt's playing football had been a temporary thing. So when he appeared on the field for varsity tryouts their junior year, he was surprised.
"Look at how amazing my calves look in these pants, Finn. Of course I'm trying out. The athletic look is in for fall, anyway." The answer was oddly short. But Finn guessed in made sense. For Kurt, anyway.
Finn knew the weird looks and insults from the rest of the team didn't bother Kurt, but Finn couldn't help the protective impulses that rose inside him. It was a brotherly thing, wasn't it?
