Circle (Akame) & Dark (various)

Title: Circle
Pairing: Akame *dies*

Friendship comes and goes, tension stays. Whether they are close, all accidental touches and intent looks or orbiting on completely different poles, they always seem to gravitate around each other.

They have no balance, though, and in Kame’s life, it’s probably the only element he feels like he has no control over. He wishes he did; he wishes he could make it work or make it stop, because, as it is now, it just requires too much energy, but things don’t work that way.

When Jin casually lays his hand on Kame’s lower back, Kame wonders when and how they switched back to being friends again. He tries not to see too much into it, not to think too much about it, about what it really means, about how long it’s going to last this time.

Jin winks at him, smiles worry-free. The straight line of Kame’s lips breaks, but he doesn’t know which part of his smile is real and which part isn’t. It hurts, not knowing, never knowing, but it won’t stop him from getting stuck in the same routine this time again.

Title: Light and dark
Pairings: Many.
Note: Imagine K8, NEWS and KAT-TUN are in some kind of musical all together... What? Wouldn't you want to buy tickets for that?

They are used to sequins and glitter, feathers and silk, shimmer in the spotlight. It is no wonder it takes longer for them to get accustomed to darkness.

In the dark, things can be seen in a different light.

“You look a bit like Gackt,” Ueda remarks, mildly suprised.

Ohkura smirks.

The lights go out, fans’ screams do not. Kame doesn’t stumble. He knows his way even through the darkness. He can’t predict other people’s moves, though, especially when they shouldn’t be on this side of the stage in the first place.

The impact is rough, almost violent. Kame’s arms flail, reach out, grab fistfuls of silky fabric and leather. Hands claw at him: shoulder and elbow, then hips. Balance is recovered. Hot breath catches his ear.

They part ways quickly, hurrying off in opposite directions. Kame’s heart beats fast. But then the lights come on again and the moment is over.

In the dark, words take a different meaning.

“Your hat looks like a giant golden condom,” Ryo smirks.

Shige rolls his eyes, his own lips twitching upward. “And that’s something you would know about, right, Nishikido-kun?”

Yamapi slaps Jin’s shoulder. “Idiot, you almost missed your cue.”

Jin grins and mouths something in response, but in the dark words fade and fail to reach their destination.

Yamapi shakes his head. He is grinning, Jin can tell.

And Jin delivers his next words against Pi’s lips.

“You just missed yours.”

They are used to sequins and glitter, feathers and silk, shimmer in the spotlight. But in the dark... true colours are revealed.
