Fandom: Buffy
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: T
Notes: Response to slashthedrabble challenge #183: Denial
Spike’s eyes say nothing, lifeless pools of murky blue, which suck Xander in and leaves him questioning his own emotions. Xan doesn’t look away, challenging himself to keep steady. His weight and arms are surrounding Spike.
“You think you’ve won?” Xander says and grits his teeth when the vampire’s eyes still hold no glimmer of his feelings.
“I know I have,” Spike says.
Behind the closed door, Xander can hear Buffy call out his name. He doesn’t answer; he even holds his breathe, while she knocks on the door. He hears Willow tell her that he might be locked in the closet down the hall. He doesn’t start gasping for air until he hears her footsteps.
Spike’s grin is just like his eyes, cold and indifferent. He holds him closer and his eyes glitter gold. Xander puts up a fight, but his fist are still wrapped tightly around Spike’s shirt.
“She’ll stop you,” he whispers.
Spike chuckles as his mouth gets closer to Xander’s neck.
“Just keep telling yourself that, boy.”
Title: Only in your mind
Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: Ichigo/Ishida
Rating: T
Notes: Response to slashthedrabble challenge #183: Denial
Ichigo pulls the hollow off of the other boy and frowns at the cut above Ishida’s eyebrow. He doesn’t like the way it’s gushing so much blood. He hastily cuts the hollow in half, not paying attention as it dissipates into the air.
“You could have waited,” he hisses as he pulls the Quincy to his feet. He rips a piece of cloth, from the wrap around his zanpakutō, and places it on the other boy’s forehead.
Uryu sneers and pushes him away. The bloody cloth falls helplessly to the ground between them.
“I don’t need your permission to fight, Kurosaki.”
“No, you don’t--but we’re a team, and if we are going to…”
He stops dead, his mouth hanging open, as Ishida turns his back and starts to limp away.
“Oi!”
Ishida keeps walking and Ichigo grits his teeth as he runs to follow.
“Oi, I was talking to you.”
When he is at Ishida’s side, he grabs him by the shoulder, and forces the smaller boy to turn around and look at him.
The dark haired boy’s glare leaves the Shinigami breathless and confused.
“I thought we were past this.” Ichigo states, the bewilderment clear in his tone.
Uryu’s eyes travel downward, until he is starting at the tip of Ichigo’s huge zanpakutō. It’s swaying too close to the orange haired boy’s ankles. Uryu has always preferred Ichigo’s zanpakutō when it’s in its bankai state.
“I never said we had,” Ishida can’t look up; he can’t let Ichigo see his eyes.
“You’re the one that allowed yourself to believe that we’d become more than we are.”
Ichigo’s hand on his shoulder tightens and Uryu does not show the pain it causes.
“So, everything that’s happened?” Ichigo’s voice is flat and inert.
“Was only in your head,” the Quincy says before he pulls away.
When he starts to turns, he forces himself not to react when Ichigo does not stop him.

Oh, Xander. So deep in denial he can see the pyramids. *g*
