Violet Song Connection (Derek/Stiles, 99 words)

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

Stiles flicked his tongue over his lips, words dying in his throat as he stared at Derek. The old vinyl spun on the record player, Nobody Knows crackling softly through the loft. Derek's eyes were dark and intense, but there was something softer there, hidden beneath layers of caution.

“Why violet?” Stiles finally asked, nodding at the violet blanket thrown over the couch.

Derek shrugged, a rare smile tugging at his lips. “It reminded me of you.”

Stiles' heart skipped, his breath catching. A song played, a color shared, and between them, a connection no words could fully capture.

All For The Game - Neil Josten - Pros & Cons - 221 words

His mother wouldn't like it. That one goes in the “con” column. Dead or not, he still wants to respect her wishes.

He'd be at a Class A school. They get all the publicity. Another “con”.

Nobody knows who he really is. That gets a qualified “pro” because he's still worried that Kevin will figure it out.

He gets to play Exy for a while. He loves the sport so much. He never thought he'd be able to have that again. More tallies for the “pro” column.

He gets to play and practice with Kevin Day, only one year older than Neil and one of the best Exy players in the world. Who wouldn't want that?

That midget goaltender just might kill him. What was his problem anyway? He isn't sure which column to slot this under. He doesn't need to be running away from danger just to run smack into it again. And yet... Andrew Minyard fascinates him.

He touches the bruise where the racket connected with him. It makes him feel alive, something that he hasn't felt in a long time. Andrew cut through the pain and the fog and found Neil waiting on the other side. That one stroke is enough to keep him from running.

He picks up a pen and puts his name on the contract.
