regina_sama, I got the letter today! *smooches* Thank you honey!
There is no such thing as too much stress. Going for a job interview in high heels (3"), which you haven't worn since the prom, and driving a car completely unlike the only car* you've driven since you got your licence is the Right Thing to Do. *sigh*
* I don't own a car. I occassionally (when I'm home and when the car is home) drive my dad's car, which is a diesel and a fat, heavy cow. The car I drove today felt like it was flying, by comparison.
Also, I realise this is not quite news, but I heard George Lucas threatened that he'd recast Padme for episode 3, if Natalie Portman showed naked in Closer. Apparently Disney will never hire Anne Hathway ever again, after Brokeback Mountain.
B-day drabble #3, fortheotherdigit, who wanted a contemporary High School AU. Hope this pleases! *grins*
There are the chick-flick rules of attraction. The popular and handsome guy meets the brainy and cute girl (usually his junior, by a year or so), and they fall in love, with a few more or less embarrassing moments thrown in-between.
And then there is reality.
“Oh, man, this sucks. Is there a cardinal rule that says cafeteria food has to be abominable?” Heero, having had a lot of practice at this kind of conversation, said nothing. “I mean, it even looks sort of okay, if you tilt your head and squint. But the taste! Seriously, what do they pay these people for? Fetching plastic from the freezer?”
“Mhm.”
“Because I swear these colours cannot possibly be natural.”
“Heero!” Both men looked up from their, for a lack of better word, food. A pretty blonde was beaming at them. Or rather at Heero, whose expression stated clearly that he is desperately trying to match the face with a name.
Eventually it clicked. “You’re Relena,” he said. Duo rolled his eyes.
“Way to go, genius. Don’t mind the loser, Relena. He’s trouble remembering people he sees off-screen. Tell him to name everyone he ever met online, and he’ll list five email addies, websites and their favourite avatars, but show him a real person and he’s confused like a newborn mouse.”
“I remembered you.”
“We met in preschool.”
As the conversation moved away from the identifying issues, the blonde girl deflated visibly, and started pouting. Eventually she sat down with her cappuccino and scowled.
“This stinks,” she said after several minutes of following the spirited dialogue. Both boys turned their heads in her direction.
“Sorry?”
“You.” She pointed at Heero. “You’ve been tutoring me last year. In mathematics.” Heero said nothing, in place of the obligatory incredulous “it was you?” But Relena wasn’t quite finished yet. “I made an effort, I really did. I got rid of the glasses. I learned how to put on make up. And bloody hell – every single guy I find is totally gay for his best friend.”
There was no adequate way to describe the expression Heero and Duo assumed. Hard-pressed, one would say something along the lines of “imagine extremely surprised beetroots, with hair.”
“I mean, I started to suspect something when I found Mr Treize making out with my brother, when he was supposed to be tutoring him. He was just a minor crush of mine, but still. There was this blond asshole at the summer camp with his little pet. The psychopathic geek and his red-headed idiot. Then that guy from my biology classes, he was silent, but really hot. And nice. Mostly to his absolutely adorable blond-haired-blue-eyed friend.” She twitched her fingers around the last word. “And now you. I mean, no offence,” she added quickly, turning to Duo, “I’m sure you are a great guy, and I love your hair, by the way, but is it too much to ask for a nice straight boy? I am not getting desperate yet, at least I think I’m not. I’m just thinking about the chances the human race has! I’m all for free love, but hello, species survival?”
Duo managed to close his mouth. He had to use both of his hands and the table for support.
“Uh. Relena. Heero is not gay.” Relena shot him the “yeah, riiiight” look. “No, I’m serious! I’ve known him since forever, we’ve been together pretty much for all vacations, holidays, in school, after school, I think I would have… noticed.”
“Way to go, Edison,” the blonde muttered. “You’ve just discovered the light bulb.”
“Heero, you’re not gay,” Duo said, with a touch of desperation in his voice. Heero fidgeted and muttered something inaudible.
“Well…”
Very, very slowly, likely without a command from up above, one of Duo’s hands started inching towards his friend’s clenched fist.
Relena stood up dramatically. “Boys and their communication skills.” Picking up her cappuccino, she left. The two at the table barely noticed, too busy working out their communication issues.

Outside the cafeteria, Relena paused to finish her coffee.
“How did it go?”
“They fell for it. Hook, line and sinker,” she replied casually, giving the newcomer a kiss.
“About bloody time,” he snorted, stealing her cup.
“I will never understand how a straight guy like you got to be the gay cupid, Wufei,” Relena said, shaking her head.
Wufei smirked and kissed her.

Date: 2006-06-08 01:21 pm (UTC)One thing I was wondering. The other gay guys Relena mentioned, aside from the last two who were obviously Trowa and Quatre, were hey specific people or just random descriptions for the sake of the story?
*gives your muse a cookie* keep up the good work.

Date: 2006-06-08 01:40 pm (UTC)I was thinking specifically of the Saiyuki gang, my other set of OTPs. But I suspect others might fit as well.

This fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2478105/1/) has a psychotic Hakkai having problems with the developing thing between Sanzo and Goku.
This fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2091255/1/) is an awesome parody, of the kind that, if you tilt your head a little, you can see everything happening in canon.
This fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2341833/1/) has plenty to say about why is Sanzo always the target.
This fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1786878/1/) is just good. ^____^
Hope that helps!
