Word #16

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Your word for the week!

Don't look at the word until you are ready to write.  When your fifteen minutes are up and you have completed your ficlet, you may either post it as a response here, or post a link to the ficlet in your own journal.  If posting on your own journal, please hide the prompt word in some way (ie. under an LJ-cut) in order to avoid spoiling it for others.

Today's word is: jealous

You can copy and paste this code when posting your ficlet if desired.

Title: A Matter of Pride
Original: Part of a larger, currently untitled, work
Characters: Cali (Prince California Hadius), Sny (Sniper Raven) and Miranda Krall
Rating: R for voyeurism and mention of sex
Word count: 361

---

“It’s been awhile,” Miranda whispered.

“Yeah, it has.”

Cali watched from his cover in the bushes, and dismissed the idea in his mind to turn back. If he were to move now, if he were even to breathe the wrong way, Sny would hear him. Miranda might, he wasn’t sure if she would or not, but it wouldn’t surprise him. Sny wouldn’t kill him for this, but Miranda would.

Sny’s hand slid down Miranda’s back and played at the strings that bound her shirt together. Cali recognized that familiarity with clothes, and made note to talk about that later. Sny had said she was only a friend, but right now she wasn’t kissing him as one.

“Why does he always go after the ones I can’t get?” Cali wondered. He supposed it was partially due to respect to his position, but it made him think. Sny had said that Cali was his life, and yet here was something completely foreign and yet not foreign at all. Sny hadn’t had to say anything for Cali to know he had had female lovers, and he had even met a few of them. They weren’t his sort of women.

Miranda drove him insane. Everything she did was an attempt to question him or his position. No one was supposed to be allowed to do that, except his father, or possibly Sny. And he noted, with a flash of jealousy, that such a person shouldn’t be marking Sny like she was on his collarbone. That was one of Cali’s favorite spots.

Miranda’s shirt came free and they threw it to the ground, and Cali found himself looking away. It was not out of modesty, but of pride. He hadn’t come here looking to spy on the two of them, and he wasn’t going to see Miranda naked for the first time as a voyeur. He was determined to have her take off her clothes for him of her own free will. He wanted the both of them at the same time.

He couldn’t block out the noises, and he was sure it would haunt his dreams for times to come. She really was a Krall.

Title: Acceptance of a Monster
Fandom/original: Naruto
Characters: Gaara, Kankuro
Rating: PG
Word count: 288

------

Gaara had always known he was destined for something. Even when he was shunned as a small child, he still knew he was meant to go somewhere, do something.

But, in his mind it was never something great. He had always imagined it’d be slaughtering hundreds of people in a pointless war, gaining greatness for the country, but not for himself. Regardless, at that time he’d relished the thought of the slaughter, even if he still felt some kind of jealousy he was never meant to take the glory but the hatred.

That all changed though when he met Uzumaki Naruto. The blond-haired boy had given him hope to believe that maybe, just maybe, one day he’d be destined for something worth while. Slaughter was no longer a thought that was constantly on his mind.

Drifting, eventual, a look to the sky… the thoughts he once held melted away, replaced by something bigger.

And then that day had come, he was made Kazekage. Faces never held that look of disdain any longer. The lips never snarled at him – they turned upwards… a smile, Gaara realised. How long had it been since seeing one? How long had it been since he’d smiled back, not with jealousy and madness, but by reflecting the feelings of acceptance back?

“Acceptance,” Gaara muttered to himself as he looked out over the desert.

“What’d you say, Bro?”

“Acceptance,” repeated the red-head, glancing back at his older brother. “I found acceptance.”

“Acceptance is a good thing,” replied his brother with a nod. “You worked hard for it.”

“I used to be jealous of people like you, and how everyone accepted you so easily.”

“You don’t have to be anymore, Gaara.”

Gaara turned and smiled. “Yeah.”
