dahlia_moonSpoilers for the latest season of Avatar in the first drabble, some blink-an-you'll-miss-em spoilers for Mediator, the fifth book.
1. Avatar, Zuko/Katara, 'First Glance'
He saw her at the market. She was bargaining with the vendor about apples.
At first glance, he didn't recognize her. At first glance, he didn't realize she was his enemy. At first glance, he realized how hot the red colors made her look.
They fit her.
He openly stared at her for what seemed like centuries. When she was finally done, and was turning her back, he fled to a nearby corner; flattening himself against the wall, he told himself that the only reason why his heart was beating wildly was because of how close she had been to bumping into him.
He watched her go, and felt only a certain elation, and calmness in his chest for his enemy.
2. Avatar, Toph/Sokka, 'Laugh'
Toph heard laughing. She stopped and layed her ink and brush onto the parchment, and turned to look at Sokka.
"Sorry, Toph, I know I shouldn't laugh, but your writing looks so funny!" Laughter burst forth from him once more.
"Wow, Sokka, laughing at the blind kid trying to write-classy." But what she was really thinking was, your laugh's nice.
Sokka put his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, y'know, if you need to write something, ask Katara to help you. I'll bet she'll be willing."
Maybe, she thought. But all she could concentrate on then was the weight and feel of his hand upon her shoulder.
3. Doctor Who, Rose/Ten, 'You'
You shone so brightly, Rose, it was as though I were looking at the sun all the time. But then Torchwood had to come, and ruin it all. They took you away, Rose. They took my sun away from me. I was angry, and sad. I traveled like that for so long. I was cold, bitter, and alone. It seemed fitting: here I was traveling through the cold, and distant galaxies without their own suns. I could sympathize with them.
Then, by some miracle, I was once again with you, Rose. It was nearly impossible, and difficult to find you again, Rose. But I did it. Even if at times it seemed as though you were another long forgotten companion, Rose, you weren't. My hearts wouldn't have allowed that to be. So, that's why I had to travel back to your past, and make myself human, why I intergrated myself into your life. I had to be with you, Rose. Even if it didn't give us eternities, Rose, we were still together. And that's all that ever mattered.
Even if I had to give everything up, I still had you. And giving everything up wasn't half as hard as having to give you up.
4. Mediator: Haunted, Suze/Jesse, 'The Right Thing'
Querida, I hope you understand how you make me feel and why I have to do this. It's not right for us to be together. It's not right that we kissed. Maybe, if I was a normal boy...
It's just better that I move out. Maybe then you can forget about me and move on with your life. You deserve someone else. You deserve better than me.
Jesse groaned, and crumpled up the piece of paper. He couldn't do this. He loved her. Even if it wasn't the right thing to do, he still wanted to be with her.
It might pain him, but he had to stay with her. He had to protect her.
5. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Maddie/Zack, Maddie/Cody, 'Cheesy Pick-up Lines'
"Today, I'll make Maddie fall in love with me," Zack announced to his twin in the lobby.
"Oh, yeah? And how will you accomplish that, with your cheesy pick-up lines?"
"Hey, my pick-up lines aren't cheesy. I'll have you know they're creative and hip."
"Yeah, and I'm the cool twin."
They arrived at the candy counter. Cody greeted Maddie, and as she turned toward them, Zack gave a shriek and ran out of the hotel.
"What's up with him?" Maddie asked, puzzled. "Do I have something on my face?"
"No, Maddie, you're beautiful."
"Aww, Cody, you're so sweet." She came around the counter and gave the blond boy a kiss on the cheek.
The young boy chuckled nervously, and as the girl turned her back to him, he ran away to join his brother outside; willing the blush that had sneaked up on him to go away.
6. Twilight, Rosalie/Edward, Edward/Bella, 'Me'
"You love her?" Rosalie asked, coming to stand behind Edward near the piano.
"Yes, Rosalie, I do."
"What about me?" This was asked softly.
Edward didn't look at her, but focused his eyes onto the floor.
"Rose, it wouldn't work out between us. Emmett loves you with all his heart."
"Huh. Is that the only reason why you're pretending to love her?"
"I'm not pretending."
"All right, maybe not pretending, but you'll never love her as much as you love me."
Edward turned to her, and cupped the beautiful vampire's face.
"Rose, I won't do this to Emmett. It'll crush him."
Rosalie wrenched her face from Edward's grip, and stormed off to her room. He could love the human girl, but that didn't mean she had to accept it.
