Title: What Can Be Seen
Pairing: Fruits Basket: Shigure Sohma/Saki Hanajima
Rating: PG
Summary: He resented that she wore so much clothing
Length: 99 words
Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created by Natsuki Takaya and owned by one of the large media companies in a complicated arrangement to which I am not a signatory. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
Notes: Written for tea_and_toast. It's 99 words, not 100. However this is my journal and not a drabble comm so I don't suppose I can really get flamed here for being a word short.

He resented that she wore so much clothing. Not that he didn't fetishize the small amount of flesh he could see; the arm warmers were particularly fetching as they framed her upper arm and shoulder, so. But talking to her about the book she was reading, or hearing one of those sly comments sure to infuriate the boys, made it nearly impossible to reassure himself that Hanajima was just another object of his schoolgirl lust.

Then again, he had become a master at self-deception over the years. The great novelist Shigure would not back down from such a challenge!

Argh. Losing cell phone = teh suck.

No wonder we can't have a civilized discussion around here any more; two friends have a polite and respectful debate and suddenly there is side-taking and general silliness. Please, people.

I completely agree and was actually discussing this with Carrie yesterday on the phone.

Have a good day! <3

What a hassle, but at least now you know what kind of phone you want. It at least minimizes the shopping hassle.

BUT! What gorgeous drabble! Shigure/Hana ♥ and you know I love pervy!Shigure. Who am I kidding - I adore all of them? *uses Hatori icon* This is fabulous - thanks, Clio.

Sorry about the phone.

Also, by the way, I just got your texts from yesterday because I forgot to check my phone. Obviously I couldn't respond as you are now phone-free (instead I was inspired by something else that popped into my head and went on a texting spree), but the answer is: I do. I want the Brady Bunch on DVD.

*hugs* I hope today is much improved over yesterday, love. And thank you for listening at my nattering, I couldn't shut up.

You know, I used to joke I'd sell the rights to my story to 'All My Children' one day, I think instead I will now consider having it illustrated or animated. SO vast the options. ^_^

I think she's the only anime blonde I've ever liked and partly because it's so blatantly dyed. There is not enough love in all the world for Hana-can & Uo-chan, seriously-seriously.

I have your phone!

The cab company called here with your phone and are sending here by mail.

Dude. And they say kindness is dead. That is fantastic. Hope that brightened your day, Clio!

That phone didn't even tell time. You're better off... I mean I feel your pain.
Cab loss is tough. Cabs make me want to strap my ipod to my bosom. If I only had a bra... hmm...

I'm so glad you liked it! yay!

But would you want Top Cat on DVD? As I am thinking, oh my yes, I want that.

Thanks! Much appreciated on a crap day.

However, the phone was found and is getting a new home, so all's well that ends well.

Please, like you've never done it for me?

And no worries, just remember I don't know the canon so I can't help you there! But I love hearing you being so enthusiastic and talking about your new interest! It's infectious!

That is like, the most random thing ever. Thanks so much!

I'm going to give it to the Embot, who is poor and really needs a new phone and has the same service I do. So it all works out in the end, yo.

HAHAHAHA. Hrm. Maybe you can put it in the waistband of your trousers, and you can be a real gangsta.

On the other hand, perhaps not.

Is it dyed? Because there are so many manga characters that don't have black hair and I never know what they're trying to say with that. I love them both dearly. Emily was saying just yesterday that she doesn't like plots where the romantic heroine wanders off after the hero and it's presumed that she wasn't really abandoning anything as she had no friends. I love that Tohru has friends who are looking after her and who also knew her mother. She lives with all those men so it's good for her to have real girlfriends. I also love that they're such misfits. I'm way down with the misfit love, clearly.

Dude, if you actually illustrated your story, you would win the Pulitzer and the National Book Award and like 27 million other things because it would be amazing. You just won't be able to do it until you're like, 50, I reckon. Perspective and all that, yeah?

It did suck but it has a happy ending!

Friday, that was a pretty good day, actually.
