Prompts, please

wowbrightI need to get my head out of my ass and write some fluffy drabble ficlets. (Someone just told me that drabble is supposed to be exactly 100 words, and all this time I just thought it meant "shortish fic without a plot.") Would anyone like to prompt? Must be Kurt/Blaine, Kurt or Blaine. Must be something that I can keep short since I have too much Real Work to do.
But I also feel compelled to say that I give no guarantees.
Because I'm kind of in a wishy-washy mood.
(Because aforementioned Real Work is not making me happy today.)
[Update: In order to force myself to keep these short, I am posting these as replies to the prompter in the comments section below. I am trying to keep these PG and PG-13, but if I get wild, I will post the rating at the top of the reply. If you think anything is improperly rated, please let me know. Also, FYI, I am doing these as freewriting exercises with no edits and spending less than an hour on each. Unless I am compelled to do research on, you know,ancient Hebrew love poems or something pretty much anything, or get distracted, or start to think too much, or get caught up in some scene and realize when an hour is up that I haven't even gotten to the prompt part yet. Then maybe I'll give myself a little slack.]
[Update 2: I plan to get to all of these eventually; feel free to continue prompting. I will close comments if it gets too much. I will try to get to them in the order of request, but if I get stuck on one I may move on to the next and go back later. This does not mean I have abandoned you! If there is something in a prompt that squicks me and I just can't do it, I'll let you know so you can prompt another. Oh, and keep in mind that I am writing these between other things, when I don't have a big enough block of time to work on larger projects or when I get stuck on the larger projects. Usually, when I have the blocks of time, the larger projects will take precedence.]
[Update 3 - Dec. 13: I posted an NC-17 drabble. All NC-17 and R drabbles are and will be appropriately labeled so you can easily skip them if you wish.]

Date: 2011-12-09 02:40 am (UTC)Blaine reads a very old love poem to Kurt
Date: 2011-12-09 05:17 am (UTC)"Okay, that's a promising start," Kurt says. He's sprawled on his stomach across Blaine's bed, examining his fingernails. "But a little redundant. I mean, what else would he kiss with? Do you think it's that clumsy in the original Hebrew?"
"'For your love is better than wine – '"
"Which is saying something, if they like wine as much as you do." Kurt didn't mean that as a jab, but he wonders if it was, so he reaches his hand out and squeezes Blaine's thigh apologetically.
"'Your anointing oils are fragrant – '"
"My what?"
"I think it's like cologne?"
"Oh."
"'Draw me after you, let us make haste. The king has brought me into his chambers.'"
"Now it's getting good."
"'We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine.'"
"Wait. Is this a three-way?"
"I don't know. We never talked about this part of the Bible in Sunday School." Blaine looks down at the page, his brows furrowed. "Okay, and now it gets more confusing. 'Rightly do they love you.' Who's they?"
"Maybe it's a four-way. Or a whole panoply of lovers."
"'I am very dark, but comely – '"
"I don't like the word 'comely.' It sounds like 'homely,' but it means the opposite thing."
Blaine looks up and smiles. That impish, up-to-no-good grin that makes Kurt's stomach coil in delight. "But it has the word 'come' in it," Blaine says. "So it should be easy to remember that it means 'beautiful.'" Blaine closes the book and puts it on the desk behind him.
"And why should I associate the word 'come' with beauty?" Kurt says, running one finger down Blaine's thigh.
Blaine slides onto the bed next to Kurt, "Because" kiss "you" kiss "are" kiss "so" kiss "beautiful" kiss "when" kiss "you" kiss "come."
Kurt turns his face slightly away, and Blaine understands. He touches his lips to Kurt's earlobe and thrills at Kurt's shudder.
"Only when I come?" Kurt whispers, and the teasing in his voice undoes Blaine, makes him wild and desperate with love. "You don't think I'm always beautiful?"
"You are," Blaine says, tugging at Kurt's shirt buttons while continuing to nip at his ear. "You are always" suck "always" lick "always" nibble "beautiful." Blaine drags his tongue down Kurt's neck, eliciting the moan he loves. "When you come, you're resplendent."
--------------
[Author's Note: Blaine is reading from The Song of Solomon, Chapter 1, Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Why? I don't know, except that I used to read and giggle over it with my friends when I was their age. I suppose they could be reading Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon for school or leisure, and want to see if it has anything in common with the biblical poem.
Also, I kind of wanted to keep going, but I have to go to bed. And I promised to keep these short!]

Is it weird that I can totally see this happening?

Date: 2011-12-09 04:24 pm (UTC)I'm not on Tumblr, and won't be joining today (though I really should), so feel free to cut and paste it accompanied by the permalink. Let me know if it gets any legs!
Maybe there needs to be a sequel where Blaine reads the part about Kurt's eyes being like doves, because that line really is sweet. I will always giggle over "your breasts are like fawns," but eyes like doves, I get.
