PREQUEL/SEQUEL MEME. >:O

[askerian]

It's not like I have enough fics to write already, after all. :D

As always!
-You take a fic or ficlet or multipart I've written, and choose whether you want a prequel or a sequel, and/or which character you want to concentrate on (not necessary but always appreciated) and/or a timeframe (i might tell you nothing interesting happens at that point, alas) and/or some aspect of the plot you were curious about idk etc.
-They shall be snippets or ficlets or otherwise roughly comment-sized, which means there's an even chance I'll come out of this post with yet another sprawling, all-devouring 'verse on my hands.
-I make no promise to actually write your prompt. I'll give it a fair try, is all I can offer.
-You can post up to five prompts. I might write one, I might write all five, I might write none.

Not as always!
This time on top of prequels and sequels you're also free to choose a scene and ask for a different POV on it in the same timeframe, or ask what Other Character was doing at the time. (I reserve the right to reject the prompt if the answer is "nothing that interesting.")

Eligible fics:
Just about any of them, teamworkverse, restoreverse, my ofics, even Garou. Random drabbles, fics that already have a sequel, weird crossovers, blahblahblah.

Yes, that means Crossed Wires too.

My ffnet page
My homepage
The archive for all those ficlet that already have a sequel or three. (note, if the ficlet isn't in there that doesn't mean it's not eligible. I'll add it later, no prob.)

Non-eligible:
-Locker Room Therapy (got a few in progress already!)
-Tripletsverse (Naruto/Naruko/Kyuubi) in general (you can ask about a specific fic in the series but you can't just say "tripletsverse! Dude, it spans months and I haven't yet decided some things, I don't think it'll ever officially have an end.)
-Detective Conan/Magic Kaito fics, sorry Jo. .__.
-Duo in Firefly. I have no clue on earth what to do with that one, sorry.
You can try for Heero in SGA but the prompt will have to be awesome, because the inspiration for this one doesn't fly high. Sorry.

He's not really thinking about anything in particular that day, sitting on the riverbank, as he watches Sasuke bathe.

Alright, yes. He's thinking about corded muscles and flexible limbs and how they let him strike fast and from almost any angle, somewhat like a viper.

Juugo likes vipers. Very straight to the point.

Juugo likes Sasuke too. He wasn't really expecting, or wanting to. Sasuke is his hope, Kimimaro's legacy, that's more than enough weight to hang onto anyone.

He guards his face and his words like he guards his back, like he's all efficiency and purpose, intense the way they are when they burn bright and fast and gutter out much too early.

He didn't want to be touched, that night, but not because he had been hurt before, or didn't feel an interest in the pleasures of the flesh, but they wanted him too much, so because he doesn't care he let them have that. Him.

Juugo bets he isn't the only one pretending he doesn't know Sasuke could have been out of that room in a flash, if he'd wanted it, if he'd hated or been bored of their hands on him at all. It seems they've reached a silent agreement to let Sasuke pretend there was no part of him that reveled in it.

White wet skin and dark seal and black wet locks. Rough old towel, rubbing them dry.

Sasuke's eyes, black as coal, as he watches Juugo watch him.

He climbs back onto the rocky riverbank. Juugo doesn't bother hiding his watchfulness.

His rock is high enough that even sitting down his head is higher than Sasuke's. When Sasuke comes to a stop, almost close enough that his hip brushes Juugo's knee, he tilts his head, to the side and a little rolled back, so he can look at him without staring straight on. It's strangely non-aggressive, for Sasuke values of such.

"... You're supposed to keep watch."

My animals have a better range, Juugo doesn't remind him; he knows Sasuke remembers. It's the subtext he replies to, with a faint smile that acknowledges the lack of actual rebuke in his team leader's voice. "I am."

Sasuke snorts. Like what you see? he doesn't challenge. Why, yes, Juugo supposes he does. Sasuke's body is a perfect, honed killing machine, and it doesn't hurt that his face is beautiful.

They stare at each other, Sasuke standing there with the towel around his neck and his eyes narrowed in thought, Juugo sitting, watching openly -- there's no use trying to hide any of it.

"If I slept with you alone, I'd have to sleep with them too," he says in the end, a thin, barely-there furrow between his eyebrows.

Juugo nods, because he gets it, really he does. "They'd be unbearable." With good reason. It'd be favoritism. Their team is unstable enough already.

He likes it, though, knowing that Sasuke sort of wanted to, even just a bit, or he'd have dispensed with the explanation and just gone straight to "no."

Sasuke doesn't resume walking, doesn't even move to wrap the towel around his waist, hide himself. His body language says he doesn't care who watches, but Juugo knows if Karin and Suigetsu were here he'd have hidden, if only to cut down on leers and horrible come-ons.

He turns to face Juugo, suddenly, with no warning, and his narrow hips fit just right in between Juugo's knees. His stare is hard, dissecting, challenging.

"You can have one kiss."

Juugo doesn't ask what brought this on, what he did right that deserves rewarding (though he knows without false pride he is the only one to be trusted to keep his mouth shut about it.) He knows the simple, bare truth is Sasuke wants to.

He leans in. The kiss is slow and long, leisurely in a way nothing they've done as a team has really been. Their lips are the only place where they touch. Sasuke's hands are holding the ends of his towel; Juugo's hands are behind him, bracing on rock. Any second he could close his knees on Sasuke's hips, trap him there between his legs; the warmth Sasuke's body radiates is a harsh temptation.

The second he tries that Sasuke will be gone, though, and if this is the only kiss he'll get, just here, just for him, he is not wasting any second. It'll end too soon however long it lasts.

It's beautiful. Perfect, even. Thank you.

Once again, it made me realize how much I miss Juugo (and Suigetsu) in the manga.

Let's just hope Kishmoto doesn't plan to make Sasuke kill them. That would be like ripping my heart out of my chest.

oh this was lovely <333 (and strangely enough, lovely is the last adjective i expected to use for a sasuke/juugo ficlet ^^;) can't believe i missed this ficlet before! (and thank god for your monthly wordcounts :P)

[askerian]

♥ Thank you ^_____________^ and haha, yeah, monthly round-ups are great for that stuff, especially since i might never repost these anywhere else. oh, if i wasn't too lazy for a complete index page. XDDD

[sara-the-lazy.livejournal.com]

*flails happily* Ohhh I like this... Very nicely done.

[askerian]

thank you ^__^

I loved the first fic, read it many a time and smirked all over the place :) This piece feels so right. Juugo would understand that demnading anything from Sasuke would just drive him away. Hope you will have more of those tiny inspirations :)))
