Prompts, please
Dec. 8th, 2011 08:02 pmI 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.]

Last installment: PG-13/R: 4 Times Kurt Gets Cockblocked by Blaine's Finals (and 1 Time He Doesn't)
Date: 2011-12-16 02:31 am (UTC)Kurt convinces Blaine to take dinner at the table, not in front of his laptop. Although his mind is obviously lost in a fog of words and theories and ideas, his eyes become a little clearer, and by the way Blaine moans a little with each forkful, Kurt can tell he is actually tasting his food.
Kurt insists on doing the dishes afterward, even though Blaine offers. "Hey, you only have one evening left to study. Might as well make the most of it," Kurt says, squeezing Blaine's hand. He doesn't mention that he really just needs to keep his hands busy right now so that he keeps them off of Blaine. After the dishes, Kurt sews for a while, and the steady hum of the sewing machine drowns out the steady hum of Kurt's desire for a while.
Kurt goes into the bedroom to do a little yoga before he sleeps – usually, he prefers to do it in the living room in front of Blaine, because then it almost turns into something a little more aerobic than yoga was intended to be (something about the head-to-knee forward bend gets Blaine every time) – but he will be good tonight. It's only one more night, and then his boyfriend will be back, and they will have 5 days of nonstop lovemaking (well, except for when Kurt has to work, when he supposes Blaine can sleep) before they have to take the train to Ohio for Christmas.
He's in the middle of camel pose when hear Blaine approach the doorway. Kurt can't see him, but he knows Blaine's eyes are on him, and it fills him with more delight than he should feel during meditation.
Eh, fuck 'should.'
Kurt lowers his hips to rest them above his heels, then turns to face Blaine. Kurt blushes when he catches Blaine's eyes, wide and full of reverence and wonder.
"Hey," Kurt whispers.
"Hey yourself," says Blaine, sinking to his knees in front of Kurt and taking both of his hands. "Am I interrupting?"
"No."
"I think I'm done studying."
"Never thought I'd hear those words leave your lips."
Blaine smiles.
"I was pretty much done, if you want to go to sleep," Kurt says.
"Well – "
"Well?"
"I'd like to go to bed. But not to sleep. Yet."
Kurt feels a grin spread so wide across his face that it almost hurts the muscles behind his ears a little. "Go to bed but not to sleep? I hope you're not planning on a night of insomnia before your final final exam."
"No."
And while it would be fun to continue flirting – languorous conversation has been missing from their daily lives, too, these past weeks – Kurt has had enough of that. He leans forward and touches his mouth to Blaine's jaw, parts his lips so he can rake his teeth gently across the stubble. The shiver he elicits is almost compensation enough for the long wait.
Blaine lifts one hand to stroke the back of Kurt's neck. "God, I've missed you."
Kurt kisses each eyebrow, the arch of each cheekbone, then pulls away just enough so he can see both of Blaine's eyes, rich and darkly luminescent like buckwheat honey. "I've missed you, too."
They kiss then, and they must have kissed thousands of times by now, and still it is so new, and exhilarating, and makes their bodies surge with the hum and whirr of life. The energy of the universe courses through their veins, distilled by their desire and their heartbeats, drumming out their song, the song of themselves, the song of the cosmos and of being and knowing and love.
Kurt stands and draws Blaine up and onto the bed, leans over him and covers him and is subsumed.
And they are one, lost in the pleasure of needing each other.
------THE END (WHILE ALSO A BEGINNING)------

This whole series was very frustrating but also adorable. And tiring, ugh. You're making me want to go to sleep in sympathy for Blaine. Heh. Great job!

Date: 2011-12-16 05:19 am (UTC)So, let's see, how else could finals cockblock? Well, I guess Blaine wasn't eating properly. I suppose they could start making out and then all the activity makes Blaine's stomach assert itself and suddenly he's so hungry he almost faints? So he seriously can't continue and so they take a break and Blaine eats and eats and eats and -- wait, they could just have sex after he eats. Unless Blaine had to go leave to take his final right then. Or Kurt feels guilty about the fainting and is totally not even going to try to go there for the next 24 hours.
Yeah, so that's why it was just four. Also, fainting's depressing.
