Drabble Me This
In honor of Valentine's Day, a writing challenge!
Rules:
Fandom: any fandom.
Word count: According to my sources, a drabble is precisely 100 words. No more, no less.
Main theme: What's love got to do with it?
Ratings: No restrictions.
Duration: Challenge opens now (February 12) and runs for a week. Closes at the end of day Friday, February 19.
A while ago I did an experiment in precise writing with ficlets of exactly 100 words and it was so much fun and I felt so accomplished that I decided to do it again. But I get bored looking at my own stuff, so... here you go. We should all be able to come up with 100 words in a week's time, right?
Post your fics as comments to this entry, or post them in your own journal and link to your story below. Feel free to do as few or as many as you want, and if you read one, be sure to leave a review or a comment. Everyone's welcome, so spread the word.

Undoing
Word count: 100
Rating: PG-13 for nudity.
Undoing
Undressed for the hotspring, Koumyou is a naked collection of fine bones and scars. Ukoku catches the end of his braid as he walks away. He pulls off the tie, lets it unravel a little.
So they stand, Ukoku still mostly clothed, Koumyou nude, the braid a rope between them.
"Don't undo what you can't repair," Koumyou warns lightly.
"I know how to braid hair," Ukoku mutters darkly. He's never done it, but how difficult can it be for a genius?
"You might learn," Koumyou agrees, "But are your fingers as precise and steady as Kouryuu's?"
"...Not him again." A common complaint.
"Let go, please?"
Ukoku hesitates.
