comment_ficHi again~! ^.^ Y’all ready for Tuesday?
Today's theme: missing scenes. It’s time to bend canon a little and explore what could have happened off-stage. You can choose to work between scenes (including pre- and post-canon), extend an existing scene, or have a scene concurrent with canon but in a different place.
A reminder of the rules:
Also, for the sake of our awesome coders, please remember to use the proper format for prompts.
Examples:
If the plot bunnies aren’t stealing your attention today, don't forget to check out our archive of Lonely Prompts.
For more recent prompts to write (and fills to read), you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.
Aaaaaaand go~! ♫

Date: 2013-09-17 08:20 pm (UTC)He's six.
Six and realizing he hates his aunt and uncle.
Maybe not his cousin, though, yeah, he probably hates him too, but it scares him. Realizing he hates the two who should have been like parents to him.
Not that he, at six, can quite comprehend that they should have been like parents to him ...
But still ... but still ... he knows ...
He knows he can do things that make his aunt and uncle afraid, that make them hate him.
Even though he can't quite understand what he can do. Even if at the back of his mind, the part, that vengeful and grown up part, even if that part understands, he doesn't. But he knows he can do things.
Can possibly do things that will defeat them, will hurt them, even if, at six, he doesn't quite think about the latter.
He thinks about being bigger, older, stronger, capable of taking them on. Capable of being able to win, to show them he's better than what they think he is. Being better than them!
Even if, at six,he doesn't quite understand vengeance as a concept ...
Even though he's only six, he knows when he's bigger he can beat them. No matter what.

Date: 2015-07-13 05:18 am (UTC)"I'm fine, baby," he tells Emily when she looks up at him. She doesn't look convinced, but he puts on a smile, and she runs off to find her mom when he asks her to.
"I thought I told you not to lie to your daughter," says a voice at his side, suddenly, and John's going to answer, he is, but it's really hard to find his voice, for some reason--air in general, now he thinks of it, he can't suck in enough of it--and everything starts to fade away--
"And oh my God, Dad, he promised he'll take me up on Air Force One once you're okay, and he's going to give us a tour of the city, and he's giving me an interview for my vlog, and he said we-Dad? Dad!"
John blinks, and then there's a teary "Oh my God," and a small, warm girl leaning off a chair and hugging his chest as hard as she can.
"I'm okay," he says, and strokes Emily's head. And he means it.

Date: 2014-03-09 03:42 pm (UTC)Shiori had never been good at gardening. Her plants withered from her absentmindedness or over care, or else they grew yet never flourished. Still, she had always loved flowers, so when Shuichi was a young child she had taken him outside with her while she tried to coax life into the ground and tried to keep her seedlings alive long enough to bloom.
The first time she saw Shuichi smile; it was directed at the rosebush she was planting with its tiny red blossoms no bigger than his closed fist. If she was the superstitious type, she would have said that his smile gave the plant the will to live because while the other two bushes she planted were dead within the month, that one had lived and thrived.
By the time Shuichi could crawl he always accompanied her into the garden when she worked and would be with her with his hands in the dirt, his chubby toddler face set in a serious line like he wasn’t playing at all. Things that he touched lived longer than the ones Shiori planted, and plants he tended grew up healthy and strong. Shuichi only ever smiled at the flowers or frowned at the weeds, but it was emotion and expression and even if it wasn’t directed at her it was better than the blank stare he gave everything else in life. It kept alive the hope that one day he’d smile at her and that there wasn’t anything wrong after all.
The doctors felt that connections with plants hardly discounted personality disorders. But then the accident happened, and Shuichi started responding and the doctor visits faded into the background, and eventually stopped happening altogether.
The garden today was more beautiful than any landscaped garden she had visited. Shuichi cared for it after school, just a few hours every day, but he coaxed miracles from the soil that no one else seemed to be capable of. The flowers bloomed larger and longer and the green of leaves were deeper than the trees next door. Shuichi had the green thumb that Shiori didn’t and then some. Part of her wondered if he would pursue that talent and make it into a livelihood, but they never talked about it or acknowledged that their yard grew lusher than anywhere in a thirty mile radius. She thought he might go into business because that was what he thought was expected of him and what her new husband mentioned most often. Shiori hoped he would pursue something he enjoyed.
As Shuichi cut flowers to put in the alcove in the entrance hall, he smiled like he smiled at her now. Soft and warm just like that first smile directed at the rose bush. He cut roses off that bush to add to the arrangement, a bold splash of red among softer yellows and pinks. Shiori poured a glass of iced juice for when he returned inside and set out the vase she knew he had in mind for the flowers.
