The comm will be one year old tomorrow! And to celebrate, here is a word which is completely un-related to that fact. :D

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: unbidden

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

Apparently at some point I did write a ficlet for this word, but never posted it here. I only realized this when someone favourited it on FF.net and I had to look back here to see what the word was (as I only noted that it was written for word 50) Wow. Memories.

Title: Kiss me before you go

He watched, eyes half lidded.

It always ended this way.

He came over in the night, alone, besieged by memories he couldn't
suppress, couldn't handle alone.

Hal always let him in. Always gave him a cup of coffee, always sat
with him, while they grew cold and silent, waiting.

And he always spoke, eventually.

Quietly, at first. Words soft, but forceful. Emotion-heavy, falling
like iron feathers on the stillness of the room.

Hal always listened, silent.

He never spoke, not a single sound.

He knew what was required of him, and it wasn't words.

It always happened the same way, as the coffee cup slipped from his
fingers, cold coffee forgotten under silent tears, the press of Hal's
warm lips, and the touch of hands on skin.

They always moved, slowly, clothing falling on the way, to his
bedroom.

They always fell across the sheets.

The lotion always fell to his hand, slick and cold, hand spreading it
inside, lubricating and stretching. Hal always felt it was vaguely
odd, mechanical. But he never said anything.

They always coupled the same way.

Hal always felt vaguely used.

And then it was over.

In the morning, the first light of dawn broke through the window.

He watched with half-closed eyes.

Clothes were collected, slid over skin.

And he was gone.

Hal wished, just once, for a kiss.

Just one kiss, before he was abandoned. Again.

He curled up in his sheets, cold, despite the residual warmth, and
then left the tears come.

Only then did he speak, a broken whisper of a word.

"Jack..."


I need to come back here someday, lol. And ironically, today I'm wearing my Metal Gear Solid 2 t-shirt O.o Also, in addition to having forgotten I wrote this, I apparently forgot how to use LJ formatting. Sorry for delete/repost.

Please, someone tell me why my lj cut keeps failing? I'm doing it right (I triple-checked in the FAQs) but it keeps posting the ficlet uncut. Also, I will remove it if asked. I just want to stop fiddling with it but don't want to delete the comment and look like a troll >_
