Multiamory March: Drabbles (1-5 of 100)

[wallwalker]

For Multiamory March this year (which isn't really doing much, despite my best efforts, but I'm gonna play anyway,) I'm using an LJ community's prompt list to write drabbles. I don't think I could do one hundred prompts for one group, but I have lots of different ones that I like, so that'll work.

I'm trying for a hundred words each, although I might go longer as needed. We'll see.

1: Kiss
(FFVI, Locke/Celes/Setzer, SFW)

Celes generally makes the first move. Of the three, she’s clearly in control, and neither of the others complain. Locke is still casting off the last shadows of his guilt; he feels more deserving of their love now, but he might never be completely free. Setzer knows guilt well, and he also knows that Celes feels most comfortable while leading.

She kisses both of them together, wrapping her arms around their waists and gently guiding them closer, so that she can press her lips against both of theirs at once. She stays even after she loosens her grip, and smiles.

2: Hug
(FFVI, Kefka/Terra/Celes, SFW, contains unhealthy relationships and power imbalances.)

Celes watches Terra from afar. She can’t be bolder; Kefka is always watching his ward, and she doubts he would approve.

But he calls out to her, when they’re alone. “Mind your gaze, Celes. It’ll freeze her, if you’re careless.”

She turns away from his smile, and Terra’s wide-eyed curiosity. “Excuse me.”

“You are a general, girl. You should ask.” He laughs. “Terra, shall Celes join us tonight?”

“Of course,” Terra answers, far too quickly.

“Good!” He’s grinning as he guides Terra over, and her arms are soft and warm. But his grin and her tremulous smile makes Celes shudder.

3: Touch
(FFVIII, Irvine/Selphie/Zell, SFW)

Selphie loved to touch them both, and found ways to do it no matter where they were. She’d link her arms through theirs and pull them with her down the hall, dragging them down the hall, or she’d gently grab them by one shoulder to get their attention.

Irvine remembered her doing that as a girl, so he was ready for it. But Zell would forget sometimes, and leap away. Then Selphie would apologize, and Zell would apologize for making her apologize. They were both high-strung sometimes, but Irvine was around to calm things down; good thing he enjoyed it!

4: Love
(FFVII, Cloud/Tifa/Barret, SFW)

Their relationship is a strange one. Some would wonder, how can you love someone and spend so much time apart?

None of them really like being alone, but they each have their own needs. Tifa needs peace and a place where she’d needed, back in Edge. Cloud needs more time to sort out the last remaining fragments of herself. Barret needs to work towards the future, because he never thought he’d have the chance to do more than fight for it.

Besides, the time apart isn’t the important thing: It’s the love that will always bring them together again.

5: Share
(Skies of Arcadia, Vyse/Aika/Fina, SFW)

The three share a bed sometimes, when they’re back on Crescent Isle.

It used to be every night, but it turned out that sleeping together wasn’t as romantic as it looked. Vyse always stole the covers, even though they were more than big enough for three. Fina snored - not terribly loudly, but enough to keep the others from falling asleep. And Aika tended to thrash around in her sleep, especially when she was dreaming.

Sure, the closeness and cuddles are nice. But after kicks and chills and sleepless nights, they’re all happy to sleep alone from time to time.
